EMC news - A two month journey has resulted in 11 year old Madison Refausse of Stittsville placing second in the province in the Royal Canadian Legion’s public speaking competition. Wearing her lucky pink hat at each stage of the competition, she chalked up victories in the Zone G5 Ottawa area competition at the Orleans Legion in early March, in the District G competition in Iroquois and in the Eastern Ontario combined District competition in Lindsay before travelling to Niagara Falls on the weekend of May 5/6 for the provincial finals. Madison very nearly did not enter the competition as a family weekend ski trip had been planned for the weekend on which the initial Ottawa area competition was being held. However, the ski trip was cancelled at the last minute and so she was able to enter the competition, albeit somewhat ill-prepared as she herself admits. She had written her speech for school but had not practiced it much because of the

planned ski trip. So she quickly rehearsed the speech and showed up at the Orleans Legion branch as one of 30 students competing in her age group. But whether it was her lucky hat or her topic of bullying or her presentation, she emerged as the winner and began her long journey to the provincial finals, with her speech getting better each time it was delivered. A grade six student at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville, Madison gave her speech on bullying, reacting to the many sad stories that have arisen lately about youth and the impact of bullying on them. But it was more than this – it was very personal for Madison as she admits that she has been bullied herself many times at school. That’s why she says that it was not difficult to write this speech, noting that all of the things that she talked about in her speech are things that she knows about as it has happened to her. See STITTSVILLE on page 5

EMC news - There’s a Stittsville flavour to the upcoming KT Kids production of the musical “Beauty and the Beast” at the Kanata Theatre. The lead role of Belle, the young woman who falls in love with the Beast, is being played by Mackenzie Corson, one of several Stittsville youth who are in the production. The role of Mrs. Potts, the head of the kitchens in the Beast’s castle and played by the famous Angela Lansbury in the original 1991 Walt Disney animated musical fantasy film, is being played by Cassie Harrison of Stittsville. Shannon McIlquham of Stittsville is playing the role of Cogsworth which was played by actor David Ogden Stiers of M.A.S.H. fame in the original film. Cogsworth is one of the Beast’s servants who has been transformed into a clock. The story portrayed in “Beauty and the Beast” centres around a young prince who is transformed by an enchantress into an ugly beast, with his servants turned into furniture and other household items. The prince must love and be loved in return before his 21st birthday or he will remain a beast forever. A beautiful young woman named Belle and her inventor father Maurice become involved with the Beast, with Belle eventually being held by the Beast in his castle. Belle and the Beast slowly become friends and eventually Belle and the prince fall in love and the Beast returns to his princely form, but not before other incidents involving Gaston, an arrogant local hunter, and others. All of this will be brought to life musically on stage at the Ron Maslin Theatre in Kanata on Friday, June 8 at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday, June 9 at both 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. when the youth of the Kanata Theatre will be presenting Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” Tickets are now on sale by contacting the Kanata Theatre Box Office at 613-831-4435. All tickets are $5. More information is available on the Kanata Theatre website at www.kanatatheatre.com Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay for the Disney animated feature film “Beauty and the Beast” and also wrote the Broadway musical version of the show.

C.W.L. at Holy Spirit is a busy group Louise Beggs and Catherine Brazier Special to the News

The Catholic Women’s League (C.W.L.) of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville is one busy group, both within the parish and within the community as well. On Saturday, April 21, the C.W.L. hosted one of its annual signature events, its annual Women’s Buffet Breakfast, with 100 in attendance, including some from outside the parish. The C.W.L. continues to offer Hospitality Sundays at the church on Shea Road once a month after both the 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. masses. The C.W.L. is dedicated to serving Holy Spirit Church and to this end, the C.W.L. has donated a number of ecclesiastical items such as a funeral pall to cover a coffin, a dalmatic which is a garment worn by the deacons and a newly installed Sanctuary Lamp which indicates the placement of the tabernacle in the church’s Blessed Sacrament Chapel. The C.W.L. is also active in various roles in combination with other Parish organizations and committees, such as decorating the Church for liturgical feasts and organizing and helping out at parish events. For instance, on Sunday, May 27, after the 10:30 a.m. Mass, the C.W.L. ladies

will be serving beverages at the potluck luncheon held to celebrate the parish’s feast day, Pentecost. While raising funds is not a C.W.L. mandate, the C.W.L. has been able to raise monies to help others as a result of their various functions and some generous supporters. As a result, the C.W.L. has supported Sacred Heart Catholic High School, the Stittsville Food Bank, the Youville Centre and the Shepherds of Good Hope. Recently, the C.W.L. donated $200 to the Stittsville Food Bank from monies raised from free will donations at the Lenten Way of the Cross services hosted by the C.W.L. In addition, four C.W.L. members are monthly volunteers at the Shepherds of Good Hope, serving lunch to the city’s homeless. The C.W.L. at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville is now in its third year. In these three years, the organization has grown from an initial 20 ladies to a membership now of 60 ladies. It is a diverse group of ladies with a range of talents and ages, going from the youngest at 18 to the most senior in their 90’s but whose experience and wisdom is invaluable to the group. During the upcoming summer months, the C.W.L. takes a rest but then will be getting

right back into its fall activities. Beginning in September, the C.W.L. will be working on the organization of its annual

Christmas Bazaar which this year will be held on Saturday, Nov. 17. Autumn will also see the planning of other events

for the following year. The C.W.L. at Holy Spirit Parish is one chapter of a national organization of over

Stittsville speaker finishes second She says that it is not fun to be bullied and her remedy is easy – take steps to stop it when you see it happening or when you hear about it. Madison plans to enter the Royal Canadian Legion public speaking competition again next year, probably again speaking about bullying.

This year there were 10,000 students who participated in the Royal Canadian Legion’s public speaking competition, taking part in one of four age groups. Madison’s victory at the local Zone G5 Ottawa area competition marked the first time that a participant competing under the banner of the Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion had won at the Zone G5 level.

Bonanza of books and more

Photo courtesy of Laurie Newman

A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School student Brooklyn Proulx holds one of the many fabulous prizes which will be up for grabs to a lucky winner in the raffle at the annual Book Fair at the school on Friday, May 25.

Special to the News EMC news - It’s a bonanza for book lovers and readers, with what will be probably more than 28,000 used books on sale at bargain prices. But there will be more than this at the upcoming 20th annual Book Fair at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. It’s not Lotto 6/49 with its millions in jackpot prizes but the raffle held in conjunction with the Book Fair offers an array of prizes that are better than ever this year. Your $2 raffle ticket will provide you with the chance to win a hot air balloon ride for two valued at $1195, an i-Pad, a framed “Daniel Alfredsson 1000th game” print valued at $450, a Melissa & Doug kitchen for kids valued at $250, a year’s supply of coffee (one pound a month for 12 months), an Ottawa Senators hockey stick signed by Chris Phillips in celebration of his 1000th ca-

reer game, a full week at a half-day gymnastics camp, a one week soccer camp and a pair of designer sunglasses. There’s even more as these are just some of the prizes that will be given away in the raffle thanks to the generosity of the local business community and their donations to the raffle. Raffle tickets will be sold from 3:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Friday, May 25, the opening day of the Book Fair. The raffle draws for prizes will begin at 6 p.m. So, books and raffle prizes. It surely can’t get any better than this. But it can. The Book Fair will also include a barbecue which will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the opening evening, Friday, April 25. Because this is the 20th annual Book Fair, Barbecue and Raffle, there will be two special “celebrity chefs” at the BBQ, namely Todd Brown of Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and city of

Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. So, you will be able to grab a tasty treat in between visits to the book sale or while waiting for your raffle ticket to win. As for the book sale itself, there will be books for every preference including used adult and children’s fiction and non-fiction books in both English and French. All of the books will be in good condition and available at great prices, ranging from 50 cents to $2 per book. Now where else can you find such bargains! The book sale will run from 3:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 25 and again on Saturday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. This annual fundraising event at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville has grown over the years. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, organizers are hoping

for the biggest and best yet. All proceeds from this annual Book Fair, Barbecue and Raffle will go to provide equipment and special programs at the school. Funds raised last year were used to pay for performances, smart boards and accessories, math manipulatives, physical education equipment, workshops and books. The event is run solely by volunteers including A. Lorne Cassidy staff, parents and students. Everyone is welcome to attend and help support the event. Once again, this 20th annual Book Fair, Barbecue and Raffle will be taking place on Friday, May 25 from 3:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for the book fair; Friday, May 25 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for the BBQ; and Friday, May 25 from 3:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. for raffle ticket sales, with the raffle draws to start at 6 p.m.

Soap boxes are off to Manotick Meeting about John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Stittsville’s soap box derby cars are off to Manotick. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA), which has owned the six soap boxes since the annual soap box derby in Stittsville was restarted several years ago and run in conjunction with the annual Villagefest activities, has sold the soap boxes to the Manotick Community Association which is staging a sanctioned soap box derby. The SVA did not run the Stittsville soap box derby last year and has decided to cancel it which is why the soap boxes are being disposed of,

especially with available storage space at a premium. The SVA had thought of donating one soap box to the Goulbourn Museum but the Museum replied that the soap box is outside the Museum’s main timeline pertaining to its artifact collection. The SVA had also offered one of the soap boxes to the family of the late Michael O’Rourke, who built the soap boxes and who was the key local organizer for the soap box derby. However, the O’Rourke family has declined the offer due to a storage space problem. The SVA will be receiving $100 per soap box from the Manotick Community Asso-

ciation for the soap boxes. “They’re getting a major bargain on that,” SVA president Marilyn Jenkins said when outlining the sale at the SVA executive meeting on Thursday, May 10. She said that the Manotick group has the expertise available to make any repairs necessary to the soap boxes and that the group is delighted to be able to acquire the six soap boxes. She also reported that Marion Gullock, whose late husband Bill started soap box racing in Stittsville four decades ago, was thrilled that the soap boxes are going to Manotick where they will be used in a sanctioned soap box

race event. Now that it is out of the soap box derby business, the SVA has to determine what to do with the nearly $4,000 that it has in its soap box derby account for the staging of the event. Suggestions made at the May 10th executive meeting including transferring the funds to the SVA’s general account covering the organization’s administrative costs or transferring the money to the Villagefest account to help fund that SVA event. President Marilyn Jenkins will be polling SVA executive members via email to determine what should be done with the funds.

Stepdancing and its music are appealing John Curry

happening this weekend in Richmond, noting that it is an age-old tradition that brings people together in a familyoriented atmosphere. “The music is infectious,” Dawn says, while also praising the great talent in these competitions, ranging in age from 3 to 93. She says that there is something for everyone at these competitions, from talented competitors to great music to meeting lots of nice people. Dawn says that “timing” is the most crucial aspect for a stepdancer. If a dancer is not in time with the fiddler, then it will not be a successful dance. Great dancers won’t miss a beat, she says, with the shoe clicks happening in perfect time with the music. Kyle Felhaver, who has been involved with the stepdancing community for about a quarter of a century, will be the house fiddler for this weekend’s competition in Richmond. He predicts that those who attend this weekend’s competition will see some of the best stepdancers in the province, all happening in what he describes as a laid-back family atmosphere. John Mitchell, who is both a piano player and a fiddler, finds that the music involved in stepdancing/fiddle competitions is exciting. And while not a stepdancer himself, he is a fan of stepdancers, saying that it is “impressive to watch their feet,”

EMC news - There’s a love of stepdancing and its music that pervades all those involved with it. Whether it’s a novice or veteran dancer, an experienced fiddler or enthusiastic piano player, this love and admiration for this Ottawa Valley tradition of stepdancing, fiddling and the music that goes with it is universal. And that’s what makes events such as this coming weekend’s annual Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition Weekend in Richmond such a great outing, not only because it’s entertaining but also because it becomes one big happy family atmosphere, with everyone there enjoying the music and the camaraderie. For nine year old Brianna Thompson, who has been stepdancing since September, she likes the catchy music. “It’s kind of hard but it’s fun at the same time,” she says about the dancing, admitting that she has only mastered the reel and the clog to date. She likes the reel better, though. “It’s more jumpy,” she says. For Dawn Dewar, who is one of Brianna’s instructors and also is a stepdancing competitor herself, grew up on fiddle music with her father as a fiddler. She herself took up stepdancing as an adult about 12 years ago. She loves stepdancing competitions like the one

especially their speed. He urges people to attend stepdancing and fiddling competitions like this weekend’s event in Richmond, saying that these competitions feature “amazing musicians and amazing dancers.” And, in addition, you get to meet lots of nice people at these events, he adds. This weekend’s tenth annual Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition Weekend will happen at the Richmond Curling Club on Perth Street

in Richmond. Things get underway this Friday, May 18 not with the competition as such but with a fundraising dance running from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. with the Metcalfe-based band “Buck 50” providing the music which will include some square dancing tunes. Everyone is welcome to attend this dance. It is on this Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20 that the actual competition will take place. And don’t be

frightened by the term competition. While the participants are competing in various classes, for the spectator, it is just a case of virtually continuous entertainment. On Saturday, May 19, the competition or entertainment, if you will, gets underway at 11 a.m. This daytime stepdancing and fiddling is followed by an evening show that starts at 6:30 p.m. On Sunday, May 20, the competition resumes at 1 p.m.

And then, of course, there is the gala evening finals showcase that gets underway at 7 p.m. You don’t want to miss it. On the Sunday morning, there is a breakfast along with a gospel hour, running from 8 a.m. through to noon. It all promises to be a great weekend of entertainment in Richmond. There are weekend passes available. For more information, check out the website at www. ottawafiddlestepdance.ca

Infrastructure renewal program needs to ease up

C

racks are starting to show in the city’s ambitious Ottawa on the Move infrastructure investment plan. Three major road reconstruction projects announced in the City of Ottawa’s 2012 budget, will be pushed back a year, with work starting in 2013. The delay is needed to prevent a log-jam of construction that would clog the streets and potentially create traffic havoc. One of the projects, the

reconstruction of Main Street, would seriously limit access across the Rideau River – so the road must stay open to allow for detours until 2013. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko says it’s important to slow down and plan properly to give the city time “to get it right.� We couldn’t agree more. In 2012, the City of Ottawa introduced a $340-million Ottawa on the Move program, an ambitious plan to reconstruct hundreds of pieces of

Ottawa’s roads, water pipes, bridges and other infrastructure projects over the course of two years. This summer, the municipality’s 61 infrastructure project managers will handle 340 projects around the city – a heavy workload. The reason for the push makes sense. Ottawa on the Move was created to catch up on the city’s infrastructure work and prepare the municipality for its sesquicentennial anniversary or 150th birthday

in 2017. The city will take advantage of historic lows in interest rates to borrow $125 million to help debt finance these projects. Makes sense. There’s no question about the need for investing in the city’s crumbling infrastructure – Ottawa’s public infrastructure assets are valued at $14 billion and those assets depreciate at a rate of more than $200 million per year. On average, Ottawa spends about 35 per cent of

what it should be spending on infrastructure renewal. The city should be investing $110 million every year on roads renewal alone. Instead, Ottawa spent $42.7 million last year. But that dropped to $23.9 million this year and $27.2 million in 2013. But 2014, it will soar back up to $56.7 million. The problem with the city’s Ottawa on the Move infrastructure push is two-fold: planning and timing. Trying to accomplish too

much too quickly with just 61 planning project managers leaves the municipality open to making planning errors. The delays of the three road projects are examples of some of the problems these overworked planning managers are facing. The city needs to slow down and get it right the first time. It will have a chance to do that when it begins work on the new Infrastructure Master Plan this year, which will be aligned (possibly for the first time) with reviews of several other major city plans for land and transportation. Let’s plan ahead and get it right instead of playing catch up.

The cruel facts of urban living CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

his seems to happen all the time these days. You drive to a doctor’s office or a dentist’s office or a lawyer’s office. The office is in a big glass building away from downtown with all sorts of room around it. Or it’s in a strip mall. Either way there’s lots of room around it for parking, which is the good thing about not being downtown. That’s what you say to yourself as you notice the welcome sign “Visitor Parkingâ€? and ease the car into a spot. Only then do you spot the machine over at the side and realize that you are going to have to pay to park, pay here, in this spacious and uncongested area. Why do they make you do that? Because they can. Because that little patch of asphalt you’re on can earn thousands of dollars. You’re stuck. You have to see the doctor or the dentist or the lawyer and the parking gods know that. It serves no social purpose to make you pay for parking. It is cruel, unfair and it is a fact of life in the city in the new millennium. The sad thing about it is you feel a bit guilty even complaining. Making parking scarce and expensive has long been a strategy aimed at getting you out of your car and onto the bus, thus reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Therefore when you complain you are revealing yourself as one of those thoughtless individuals who will ruin the planet just so they can listen to the car radio for a few minutes. But ‌ but ‌ you say. These offices aren’t downtown where the traffic congestion is; they’re in the burbs where there’s no congestion and in fact nothing, nothing but places to park.

Plus, the bus only really works when you’re going downtown, or going somewhere from downtown. Your words are going to fall on deaf ears, you know that. You could launch a protest, but it would only be seen as another attempt by rich car-owning suburbanites to make life easier for themselves, at the expense of the planet. So life is unfair, except for the parking gods and their little friends. The scary thing is that it could get a lot less fair, when the remaining places where we’re used to free parking start charging. That would mean the big suburban shopping centres, the big suburban movie complexes, the restaurants and supermarkets away from the downtown core. If the parking machines began appearing at St. Laurent and Kanata Centrum and McDonald’s and Loblaws, you’d be madder than hell, right? And where would that get you? In a perfect world it would get you onto the bus, but this is not a perfect world and nobody seems much interested in making it one. Bus service is contracting just at the time it needs to expand, particularly on a local basis. In another version of a perfect world, we would shun the paid parking lot and walk to our neighbourhood stores. But few of us are close to neighbourhood stores any more, when they even exist. Maybe, in the long run, the inconveniencing of car owners will lead to pressure on city planners to create living spaces that are livable, where you don’t have to get into a car every time you want some little thing and where people can’t soak you for parking every time you turn around. Maybe, this will happen in the long run and the Barrhavens of the future will look more like The Glebe and Westboro. There will be less traffic and we will all be in better shape for having places to walk to. Instead of total subjugation by the automobile we get liberation from it. That would be the vision, and let’s hope the vision sustains you as you grit your teeth and pay the machine.

Helping with hair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Seven year old Adriana Kavanagh is using her hair to help others battle cancer. For the second time in her young life, Adriana has had her long hair clipped off so that it could be donated for the making of wigs for youngsters who lose their hair as they undergo treatment to battle cancer. She was at the Chiquitaz Unisex Hair Salon at the Main Street Pub plaza on Stittsville Main Street at WarnerColpitts Lane on Wednesday afternoon, May 9 where hair stylist Lillian Vella cut a little more than 12 inches of hair from her head. The hair was packaged up and sent off to Angel Hair for Kids, a program of the A Child’s Voice Foundation in Toronto. Adriana first donated her hair for a cancer wig two years ago when she was motivated to do so because a school mate at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond was battling cancer. When her hair had re-grown enough, at roughly half an inch a month, Adriana made the decision to do it again. And she is planning to do it again in two year’s time when she will be nine years old. Cancer has become even more personal to Adriana as her mother, Sheri, was diagnosed with breast cancer which she has successfully battled following surgery.

And hair stylist Lillian Vella, who cut the hair and trimmed Adriana’s bangs at no charge, is also one who is being touched directly by cancer, as her husband is battling kidney cancer. Lillian and Sheri Kavanagh have a long history together, as Lillian has been doing Sheri’s hair for the past 19 years, going back to before she was married. Sheri now is back to work and a survivor. She is now involved in helping others as she will be taking part in both the upcoming Dragon Boat Race and the Relay for Life event, raising funds through both for the battle against cancer. Angel Hair for Kids, a program of A Child’s Voice Foundation, provides wigs and hair loss solutions to financially disadvantaged children in Canada who have lost their hair due to a medical condition or treatment. Wigs and hair systems are created thanks to donations of hair like that of Adriana and then provided at no sot to a child. It takes 10 to 12 donated ponytails at least 12 inches long to make one hair prosthesis. Every year children in Canada lose their hair due to cancer treatments as well as other conditions such as alopecia. Providing a wig increases a child’s self esteem and selfimage. The program is unique in Canada, with every recipient given a personal appointment at a salon that specializes in

wigs and hair loss. A wig is selected and fitted and styled especially for that particular child. A Child’s Voice Foundation, which operates Angel Hair for Kids, is a grass roots, community based not-forprofit charity that operates on a national basis to reach children in need of support. A Child’s Voice Foundation began in 1995 with the single vision of one woman who wanted to make a difference in the lives of financially disadvantaged children in Canada. Roslyn Yearwood realized that there were thousands of children who were falling between the cracks and need help in health care and other basic needs not being provided by government or other organizations.

Here comes Stittsville Triathlon - again john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Stittsville is back on the triathlon circuit. After a five year absence, the Stittsville Kids of Steel Triathlon (KOS) will be returning to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) this June. “We are so excited to be back in Stittsville,” says Michele Charrier, a former Stittsville resident and current president of the Bytown Storm Triathlon Club, host of the event. “Stittsville is the ideal venue for a KOS because the GRC really lends itself to this sport.” The sport of triathlon combines swimming, cycling and running, all in one event. Kids triathlons like this upcoming one on Sunday, June 24 in Stittsville provide kids and young adults with the opportunity to experience the sport in a positive environment. The distances are much shorter than those in adult triathlons so that youngsters are able to finish successfully and have fun participating. TheStittsville KOS Triathlon will use the GRC pool for the swimming portion of the race. The cycling course is completely closed to traffic, making it very safe for competitors, while the running course allows parents and spectators to view the action. “I’ve been to many kids triathlons over the years, but the Stittsville KOS is probably my favourite because it’s spectator friendly and it’s really fun for the newbie,” says president Charrier. There is no experience required to participate and young swimmers can even wear floaties if desired. Bytown Storm Triathlon Club coach Greg Kealey reiterates that participants do not have to have any experience in order to participate in this Stittsville KOS Triathlon. He does note, though, that the Club offers training programs for those aged 8 to 14 years of age to help them

prepare for a triathlon race. All participants in the Stittsville KOS Triathlon will get a free t-shirt and a commemorative pin. In addition, the top three finishers in each age category will receive a placement medal. The Stittsville KOS Triathlon of the past played a role in the careers of three who are now among the Bytown Storm Triathlon Club’s top junior elite athletes. All three actually got their start in the sport in the Stittsville race. Indeed, these three are now competing internationally, with an international Triathlon competition in Mexico on their schedule. Samantha Klus, who is now one of Ontario’s top ranked junior female triathlete racers, experienced her first ever triathlon race in the Stittsville KOS Triathlon in 2006, taking part on a mountain bike. She had been challenged by her soccer coach to try a triathlon and she discovered that it was so much fun that the rest is now history. Elyse Charrier, who now has over 45 run and triathlon races to her credit, participated in her first ever triathlon in Stittsville in 2005. Her older sister was competing, so Elyse decided to give it a try. She found that it was so much fun and so exciting that she stayed with it. “I got the bug to do more after that race,” she says. Elyse was the winner of the Run for Ottawa Youth Athletic Scholarship in 2011. Alex Maxwell, who has become the most experienced triathlete among the Bytown Storm Triathlon Club’s juniors, also got his start in the Stittsville KOS Triathlon race. He has since competed in many KOS events over the years and is currently ranked as one of the top five kilometer junior runners in the city. The Bytown Storm Triathlon Club has been anxious to reinstate the Stittsville race for several years now. It was thanks to the support from local city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri that the Club was able to

obtain permission to hold the event on Sunday, June 24 this year. There is an opportunity for local sponsors to become involved in this year’s Stittsville KOS Triathlon. Anyone interested should contact the Bytown Storm Triathlon Club at bytowntri@gmail.com The Bytown Storm Triathlon Club is a not-

for-profit organization that provides training programs and personal coaching services for both youngsters and adults interested in triathlon. For more information about the Club’s kids triathlon programs and the Stittsville KOS Triathlon event, visit the Club’s website at www. bytowntriathlon.com

Goulbourn Hornets are ‘Golden Girls’ Special to the News

EMC sports - The Goulbourn Major Midget Hornets became “Golden Girls� at the recent provincial championships. It was the first time that any of the players on the team had won gold at a provincial championship. After coming just short of the gold in the Eastern Ontar-

io Basketball Championships by being the silver medalists after losing by four points to the Gloucester Wolverines, the Hornets worked extra hard during the month of April leading up to the provincial championships. This included extra workouts and even interval training on the track to improve stamina and fitness. At the provincial champi-

onships, the Hornets entered the final game undefeated, taking on the Niagara Thunder whose only loss in the championships had been a four point defeat by the Hornets in earlier pool play. The Hornets jumped out to an early lead thanks to a full court press that they employed for the entire game. The Thunder, frustrated and

falling behind more and more as the game went on, drew many team fouls. The Hornets kept rolling and won by a 48-28 score, capturing the gold medals. Katie Kennedy had 14 points for the Hornets while Chloe Brownlee chipped in 12 points. The Hornets had advanced to the championship final with

a 40-26 win over the Capital Xelles, a team that the Hornets had defeated in the Eastern Ontario Basketball Championships where the Xelles had won the bronze medals. In this semi-final game against the Capital Xelles, the Hornets led from the start and rolled to a 40-26 victory. Katie Kennedy again led the team with 17 points. In pool play, the Hornets had chalked up three straight victories. Opening the tournament against the Toronto Triple Threat, a team that the Hornets had never faced before, the Hornets came up against a team with some quick players whose speed enabled the team to break the Hornets’ early press. The Triple Threat led by four points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Hornets’ coach Scott Nystedt switched defenses, a tactic which worked as the Hornets buzzed to a four point lead at half time. The Hornets’ work on the track paid off in the second half of the game as the Hornets outran the tiring Triple Threat. In the end, the Hornets won 56-45 with Chloe Brownlee scoring 15 points. Katie Kennedy added 13 points. The Hornets next faced the Niagara Thunder, the team which the Hornets would eventually meet and beat in

the championship final. The Hornets led 21-20 at half time. The second half saw both teams continue with their aggressive play on both offense and defense but the Hornets outscored the Thunder 12-6 to take a seven point lead into the fourth quarter. The Thunder managed to outscore the Hornets by three points in this final quarter but that was not enough to overcome the Hornets’ lead as the Hornets won by four points. Chloe Brownlee again led the Hornets, this time with 13 points, while Julia Blais had 9 points. The Hornets then faced the Sudbury Jam in their final game of pool play. A full court press right off the bat saw the Hornets take a 15-2 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Hornets led 23-7 at half time and ended up winning the game 52-30, finishing first in their pool and advancing to the “final four� championship round play. Michela Barresi led the Hornets with 11 points in this game. Katie Kennedy had seven points. This provincial championship gold medal performance by the Goulbourn Hornets ended the team’s season but next season looks promising as ten of the players are underagers and can return to the team next season.

Grief workshop being held at St. John’s Anglican Church Special to the News

EMC news - Grieving and grief are a part of life. But many times a person is not prepared for such a situation. That’s why you should consider attending a brief workshop that is being offered in Richmond on Saturday, June 2. To be held from 10 a.m. to noon that day at St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street, the workshop will be facilitated by grief educator Ian Henderson.

EMC news - Extrication including removal of the vehicle roof were required at a two-vehicle collision in Goulbourn on Wednesday, May 9. It happened at the intersection of Franktown Road and Munster Road west of Richmond when emergency services including police, fire and paramedics all rushed to the scene after the emergency call was received at 4:47 p.m. One person was trapped inside an overturned vehicle as a result of the twovehicle collision. Ottawa Fire Services firefighters removed the roof of the minivan in order to extricate the 19 year old female driver from the vehicle. This female driver, who was initially unconscious and trapped in the vehicle, sustained a head injury as a result of the collision. Paramedics stabilized her inside the overturned vehicle as firefighters used their extrication tools to free her. She was then transported to hospital in stable condition. The 34 year old male driver of the other vehicle, a car, received minor injuries in the incident. An off-duty volunteer firefighter, he was treated for lacerations to a hand, injuries which he obtained while tending to the injured driver in the other vehicle. He was not transported to hospital.

Stittsville Storm captures gold medals Special to the News

EMC sports - Just participating in a tournament that raises funds for Roger’s House is worthwhile and satisfying. But this year’s Ottawa Year End Minor Hockey Tournament in support of Roger’s House was more than just worthwhile and satisfying for the Stittsville Bantam B Storm team. It was also a golden moment as the team captured the gold medals in the tournament’s B pool. This Ottawa Year End Minor Hockey Tournament has raised more than $150,000 so far for Roger’s House since it began in 2003. Roger’s House is a palliative and respite care facility for children located on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The tournament is not only a great year end activity for local hockey teams like the Stittsville Bantam B Storm but also is an important fundraising initiative for Roger’s House.

EMC sports - The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club is making it easy for you to try out the sport. The Club is holding a free open house at its lawn bowling facility on Huntley Road beside the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners on Saturday, June 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Club will supply the bowls (lawn bowling balls), instruction and even some snacks, all for free. You get to try out the sport and see what you think of it. You may or may not want to pursue it but at least you will have experienced the sport. Lawn bowling is great for exercise, out in the fresh air and involving lots of movement. But it is not overly strenuous and a lawn bowler gets lot of opportunity to chat with others as the game goes on. It’s also lots of fun, sort of like curling on grass. But don’t take our word for it – decide to experience it for yourself and plan to attend this Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club open house on Saturday, June 23 and see for yourself why lawn bowling is becoming such a popular sport these days. For more information about this open house, please contact Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club president George Burns-Nichol at 613-831-0939 or via email at gjbn@rogers.com

SVA exec talks about OMB John Curry

20 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, May 17, 2012

EMC news - A report on a recent planning summit held by the city of Ottawa became a discussion about the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) at the executive meeting of the Stittsville Village Association on Thursday, May 10. David Jenkins, the SVA director who handles planning matters, reported on the planning summit, noting that the city wants certainty and consistency is planning matters. SVA past president Metin Akgun noted how the city may want certainty in its planning but then along comes the OMB and changes decisions made by Ottawa city council. This launched the discussion on the OMB, with Mr. Jenkins wondering why people don’t rise up and agitate for the removal of the OMB. “To me the OMB is the main vehicle by which the provincial government can control the municipalities,� he said, adding that there is no comparable organization to the OMB anywhere in the United States. SVA president Marilyn Jenkins commented that Ontario is the only province in Canada which has a body like the OMB which is a quasi-judicial organization that adjudicates on planning matters. However, SVA vice-president Phil Sweetnam came to the defense of the OMB, saying that in every society there is a need for some sort of judicial body to settle disputes involving landowners and development. Landowners have rights to, he said. Mr. Sweetnam said that municipal official plans set out policies for development but do not include every last detail. He said that neighbourhoods may be disturbed when the OMB rules on a matter but he reiterated that the rights of landowners must be respected as well, requiring the need for a body like the OMB that can balance the interests of landowners against municipal councils. He said that in his view, the OMB over the years has done a good job doing this. SVA president Marilyn Jenkins agreed that there must be an appeal process on planning matters but said that she objects to having an unelected OMB appointee able to overturn the decision of an elected council.

Sport Jiu Jitsu competitors must wear safety equipment. There were no weight divisions for the adult events. Pathway Jiu Jitsu is a family-run martial arts dojo in Stittsville.

PERSONAL CURB SIDE GARBAGE FOR PICK UP ON COLLECTION DAYS

I have heard from several residents, especially in the Fairwinds area of Stittsville, that some are not properly securing their regular garbage as well as items left at the curb in blue and black bins. On windy days, unsecured garbage and recycling items can blow down the street becoming a nuisance to street patrons and other neighbours having to pick items up off their property. It can also become a hazard to passing motorists and bicyclists with these items blowing into the street. Finally, loose garbage also has the potential to attract wildlife which can obviously cause all sorts of problems. I invite you to take the time to make sure your refuse is properly secured. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. Let’s work together to keep our community clean!

Goulbourn Male Chorus concert John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Rousing, reective and remembering. It’s not the three “r’sâ€? made famous in school in the past but rather the three “r’sâ€? of the Goulbourn Male Chorus’s spring concert “Coast to Coastâ€? last Saturday evening at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. It was rousing at times, as with the singing of the energetic Newfoundland folk song “I’s the B’y that Builds the Boat.â€? It was also reective at times, in the segment with gospel and sacred songs like “River in Judea.â€? And it was full of remembrance as well in its musical and spoken tribute to the Canadian armed forces, including traditional military tunes like “Heart of Oak.â€? But most of all this concert was entertaining, not only thanks to the offerings of the Chorus itself but also due to the inaugural performance of the new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus and the musical and vocal contributions of guest musician Norman E. Brown. Robust and appealing were the folk songs on the program, not only those from down East but also folk songs from the West Coast (who knew?) such as “Hunker Down,â€? which mentions, among other spots, the intriguing Blubber Bay, an ear-catching location no matter whether on the East Coast or the West Coast. The second half of the concert was launched with the haunting Canadian folk song “My Paddle’s Keen and Bright,â€? a tune with an aboriginal texture that is nothing if not rhythmic and upbeat. Then there were the Scottish folk song “Skye Boat Song,â€? the Irish folk song “Londonderry Air,â€? better known as “Danny Boy,â€? and the Welsh folk song “The Ash Grove.â€? “So we’ve gone coast to coast and over the water,â€? Goulbourn Male Chorus director Robert Dueck commented about the Chorus’ folk song selections. And the concert wound up with the most iconic of Canadian folk songs, “This Land is Your Land,â€? a re-wording of the famous 1940 American song by Woodie Guthrie done by the Canadian group The Travellers in 1955. Like a number of the songs in the concert, this was a singalong with the audience and certainly the loudest of the evening. Beyond these folk songs the concert featured a segment of sacred and gospel music, certainly most appropriate in the concert’s church setting. “All Through the Nightâ€? featured not only the whole Chorus at times and guest musician Norman E. Brown on the viola but also featured a solo performance by the Chorus’ own Bob Major. When Chorus member Don Snyder

hoye, Rosalie Vos and Vivian Latulippe, second sopranos; and Marilyn Snyder, Vivian McLean and Wendy Hall, altos. The group’s accompanist is Karen Kobierski. It was, though, in the segment that included patriotic military songs like “Heart of Oakâ€? and the navy hymn “Eternal Father Strong to Saveâ€? and tributes to Canada’s armed forces that stilled the church air where the concert made an impact on the capacity audience. Padre Lieutenant Graeme Carruth, in his remarks entitled “The Human Cost of Service,â€? delivered a message recognizing the brave and sacriďŹ cial service of those who have served Canada in uniform but pointing out as well that such service does not come cheap but carries a very high price in terms of dead and injured soldiers, sorrow for mothers and others back home and impact on children. Padre Carruth is currently a member of the Chaplain Services team based at Uplands. The Hon. Gordon O’Connor, who is MP for the local Carleton-Mississippi Mills federal riding as well as a former Minister of National Defence and a retired Brigadier General, having served over 30 years in the Canadian military, introduced the song “Heart of Oak,â€? a tune which has special meaning for members of the armed forces as it is the ofďŹ cial march of the Royal Canadian Navy. This gives the song a special signiďŹ cance for the Royal Canadian Navy but it also has a broad appeal and has long been enjoyed by members of the Canadian Armed Forces generally. At the concert, it was enjoyed by all, with the audience standing and joining in with the Chorus in the singing of the tune. Chorus member Art van Draanen, who was born in the Netherlands in 1927, in his remarks at the concert, told of the bombing of Rotterdam and the years of depression, deprivation, executions and atrocities which followed until Canadian soldiers freed the area in 1945. He told how just before the liberation, people were reduced to rations of a small piece of bread, sugar beets, potatoes and tulip bulbs. The joy of the populace was immense at the liberation but Canadians paid a high price in this, Mr. van Draanen said, noting that there are the graves of over 7,000 Canadian soldiers in Holland.

showed up with a temperature and under the weather with a bad cold, his solo of “Where’er you Walkâ€? was performed by musical guest Norman E. Brown even though he only knew about this task that day. Mr. Brown showed why he has had an extensive singing career both across Canada as well as in the United States and in Europe. An accomplished musician of both the violin and viola, he has played with several orchestras including the Ottawa Chamber Orchestra. The concert featured the inaugural performance of the new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus which director Robert Dueck, in his introduction of the group, said had not been planned to next fall but was getting an early start now after ďŹ ve rehearsals. The 12-voice ensemble, wearing white blouses adorned with a giant red ower in the lapel, sang two sacred songs – “Beautiful Saviourâ€? and “Sanctus – Holy, Holy, Holy.â€? Their melodious, gentle sound ďŹ lled the church, something of a contrast to the lower pitched, booming sound of the Male Chorus. Members of this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus are Ingrid Gemmell, Jacqueline Sanders, Molly O’Connor, Nancy Hayley and Reta Hamilton, ďŹ rst sopranos; Ingrid de Buda, Janet Ramsa-

Lt. General (retired) Bill Carr, a World War Two veteran, a former Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff, a former Commander of the Canadian Forces Air Command, a man known as the “Father of the Modern Air Force� for his work on consolidating military aviation when the Canadian Forces were unified and a member of Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame, cited in his remarks at the concert Canada’s long military

tradition including various wars, numerous peacekeeping operations and involvement with NATO. He gave statistics about the numbers who served in both the First and Second World Wars, with over one million Canadians out of a population of 11 million serving in World War Two, with 47,000 dying. He told how the Canadian military is rated among the best in the world, calling the armed forces a “national treasure.�

In his closing remarks on behalf of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, Don Snyder thanked music director Robert Dueck for his leadership, his musical talent and the other skills which he brings to his position with the Chorus, calling him “one of a kind.� “You bring joy to all of us through the medium of music,� Mr. Snyder told Mr. Dueck. The Chorus received a standing ovation from the audience at the conclusion of its final song “This Land is Your Land.� Members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus are Art van Draanen, Ian Moody, Patrick Tang

and Jean Wong, first tenors; Bob Major, Don Gillen, Fred Boyce, Gary King, James McIntosh and Norm Arsenault, second tenors; Craig Edwardson, Jack Barker, John McGinn and Leo Mevel, baritones; and Chris Brydges, Chris Morris, David Lockyer, Don Snyder and Rene Normandin, bass.

Range of heritage activities for Plant sale and more! Goulbourn Historical Society EMC news - The upcoming long weekend of May is the green light for planting – that’s when the danger of frost is considered gone. So, what a great time to have a plant sale and that’s just what will be happening at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville on this weekend’s Saturday, May 19. This plant sale will run from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the church. In keeping with the plant theme, all proceeds

from this plant sale will be going to spring planting and ongoing upkeep of the church grounds. But this is not all that will be going on at St. Thomas Anglican Church on Saturday, May 19. There will also be a bake sale, garage sale and recipe book sale going on at the same time, 9 a.m. to 12 noon, so it’s going to be a busy spot. Proceeds from these bake, garage and recipe book sales will be donated to the Fredrick Banting Alternate School Program in Stittsville as well as local and city charities.

Special to the News

By: Your Family Physiotherapy Team

Having trouble sitting comfortably or even walking for more than 15 minutes due to pain? Suffering from tenderness in the buttock region with occasional numbness and tingling down the back of your leg? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be affected by a condition called Piriformis Syndrome. The piriformis is a small muscle located in your buttock that runs from the bottom of the spine to the top of your hip that helps to rotate your leg outwards. Although it is only approximately 3-5cm in size, this seemingly minor muscle can cause you major discomfort if it becomes tight. The piriformis muscle usually

tenses up from overuse, however, other causes may include: direct trauma (i.e. a fall), muscle imbalance, muscle spasm, abnormal walking patterns, and improper sitting posture. If you are experiencing a burning or tingling sensation down the back of your leg, it may be caused by compression one of the body’s larger nerves, known as the sciatic nerve, which may run above, below or right through the piriformis itself. Self-treatment of Piriformis Syndrome includes avoiding sitting for long periods of time, irritating activities, and stretching. A visit to your local family physiotherapist can

help speed up the process of loosening up the piriformis by providing you with a combination of 1) Manual soft tissue releases of tight musculature 2) Therapeutic modalities for pain and inflammation 3) Appropriate stretching and strengthening programs to manage and prevent reoccurrence of this condition. Once that tiny muscle is able to relax, you will be able to, too!

thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attentiongrabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle of a street filled with contemporary homes will

to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. * Size and style: Another

affordable. Endowed with the rich quality of life South Florida has to offer, both St. Lucie and Martin counties also offer and affordable cost-of-living vacationers will appreciate. * Accessibility of activities. While an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is great, no one wants to escape to a place with nothing to do. When shopping for a place to buy or build your dream getaway, be sure there’s plenty of accessibility to popular activities like boating, fishing, diving, surfing, canoeing, or kayaking. * Proximity to other hotspots. Even if you’re looking for a place to simply unwind, a dream home’s proximity to hotspots or other exotic locales never hurts. Port St. Lucie, for example, offers all a vacationer needs to relax and unwind, and it’s only 90 miles from the Bahamas by boat and a short drive to Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando. * Proximity to major airports. Unless you plan on living in your vacation home yearround, you’ll want the home to be somewhere that’s close to major airports. This makes it easier to get to your home and flights won’t be as expensive. More information on finding your dream home can be found online at www.pace2000homes. com.

Nowadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. * Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. * Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise

(MS) -- A dream home means different things to different people. To some, an ideal home sits atop a hill and has enough rooms to accommodate generations upon generations of family members. To others, a home small in stature but with views to die for is all a homeowner needs. While preferences may vary on the home itself, there are a few things buyers of all shapes and sizes prefer when shopping for the home of their dreams. * Agreeable weather. Vacation home shoppers often prefer year-round warm weather so they know their respite from the cold is never too far away. For example, a locale such as Port St. Lucie, Florida boasts an average temperature of 73.7* F, providing the ideal getaway to snowbound men and women stuck in the throes of winter. * Affordability. A dream home stays a dream for many people because of the misconception that it is beyond their financial reach. “While a seaside villa in Italy might never be a reality, there are places where it is still affordable to own and maintain a vacation home,” says Andrew Nadalin, President of Pace 2000 Inc. Compared to neighboring counties, St. Lucie County and Martin County represent the piece of South Florida that is still considered

Unity Cross arrives at St. Philip Catholic School Special to the News

EMC news - An outdoor mass celebrated both Catholic Education Week and the ar-

rival of the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Unity Cross at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond last Friday after-

noon, May 11. Rev. Bob Poole, pastor of St. Philip Catholic Parish, who presided at the mass, ad-

mitted to excitement at seeing the Unity Cross, describing its beautiful colouring and the artistic depictions of various

gospel stories on it. In his homily, he explained that the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch and

smell (when there is incense) are used during the mass. But he also noted that the Catholic faith also involves the use of symbols, the greatest of which is the cross. He noted that the Unity Cross features Christ at its centre, just as He is at the centre of the Catholic faith. At the end of the mass, the Unity Cross drawer was opened to reveal the gifts which had been sent to St. Philip by the previous school which hosted the Unity Cross, St. Patrick Elementary School in Barrhaven. St. Patrick sent along a bookmark for each St. Philip student, along with a Celtic cross with an image of St. Patrick on it. During its stay at St. Philip, the Unity Cross will be viewed by students in each class who will get an opportunity to examine it and to learn about the gospel stories depicted in the art on the cross. The St. Philip school community will place gifts for the next receiving school, St. Monica Catholic School, in the cross before it leaves the school as it continues its journey visiting every Ottawa Catholic School Board school. It was in the spring of 2010 that a group of educators, chaplains, principals and parents gathered to try to envision a new way of animating the Board’s newly-coined spiritual theme “Though Many, We Are One Body in Christ.” The conversation turned to the use of symbols as a source of catechetical experiences, enriching faith and enhancing prayer. Geoff Guitard, a chaplaincy leader with the Board and also an artist, began to formulate an idea for creating a symbol that would deepen faith and connect school communities throughout the Board’s jurisdiction. Thoughts turned to creating a cross with connections to scripture but one that would be appealing to all students. Mr. Guitard developed some sketches for consideration and in the end, his artist’s eye and faith filled heart created the Unity Cross, a symbol that has developed as a link between schools and communities within the Board. A school receives the Unity Cross for about three days and shares the experience with students and staff in its own way such as with liturgies. Each school prepares a gift and message to send to the next school. Each school also contributes to a photo journey that is kept in a drawer at the base of the Unity Cross. The Unity Cross also includes a slot in which students and staff can insert intentions and prayers. The Unity Cross features a number of paintings on its surface, outlining various scripture passes such as the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes, Pentecost, The Road to Emmaus and the Beatitudes. These paintings surround an icon of the face of Jesus Christ.

Here comes the ‘Queen’s Royal Tea Party’ Special to the News

EMC news - Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her diamond jubilee this year. There are lots of special events taking place in England but that’s a long way to go to join in on the celebration. But there is an event coming up right here in Stittsville where you can celebrate the Queen’s 60th anniversary on the throne while also supporting the local Guiding community. It’s a “Queen’s Royal Tea Party” which will be hosted by Stittsville’s Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Path-

finders this Saturday, May 19 at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. Everyone in the community is encouraged to drop by sometime between 12 noon and 3 p.m. to enjoy being served “High Tea” complete with the Queen’s favourite drop scones. And while you are there you will be able to purchase hand made crafts and baked goods being sold by Stittsville’s Guiding community. The Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders are all fundraising to

support upcoming camps, special year-end events and future international travel. The “High Tea” will include tea or juice, sandwiches and a square or scone. The cost will be $5 per adult (age 13 years and up), $3 for those aged 8 to 12 years and $1 for those aged 4 to 7 years. Children aged 3 and under will be free. This is a great opportunity not only to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee in a most fitting way with tea and a scone but also to assist the local Guiding community

couraging the wearing of gloves and hats for this event and even speaking with British accents, as well as holding the pinky finger out while sitting on the tea. All of this, of course, would be done using the best of manners in typical British behaviour. Everyone in the community is encouraged to attend this “Queen’s Royal Tea Party” being hosted by Stittsville’s Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders on Saturday, May 19 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church. For more information about the event, please email stittsvilleroyaltea@gmail.com

in its fundraising efforts. Through this event, Stittsville’s Guiding community is participating in the Girl Guides of Ontario’s “Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Challenge.” The provincial organization is challenging local Guiding groups to try to earn 60 points (One for each year of Queen Elizabeht’s reign) through undertaking a number of special activities geared to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. One of these, worth 20 points in the challenge, is to host a tea party. The provincial organization is en-

Young artists wanted for ‘Life in Your Village’ art John Curry

village of Stittsville just how they see it. Inspiration for art is everywhere in the community. There are reminders of the past from its historic buildings to its surrounding farm land. There are open spaces, parks, Poole Creek, wetlands, the Trans Canada Trail and a bustling commercial sector. There are flowers, trees and play apparatus. There are family members, sports teams and more. There is so much in the village of Stittsville, all of which can provide the subject for artwork. To participate in Art Jam, this children’s art show, artists aged 4 to 12 can submit original art work of Stittsville that illustrates the theme “Life in Your Village.” This artwork can be done by an individual or by a group such as a class. Submission will be accepted at the office of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri up until Sunday, May 20. This office is located at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road. Submissions can be no larger than 8 x 11 inches or 11 x 14 inches and, if on paper, must be backed on coloured construction paper or card stock for display purposes. If

EMC news - Calling all youthful artists! Original art illustrating the theme “Life in Your Village” is being sought for a new children’s art show called “Art Jam” which is being held in conjunction with this year’s annual Artists & Authors in the Park event at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Sunday, May 27. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA), hosts of Artists & Authors in the Park, is teaming up with elemenopaint, a Stittsville-based art program for youngsters, to offer this first-ever children’s art show at this May event. “We’re thrilled to introduce a children’s art show as part of Artists & Authors in the Park this year,” says Tanya Hein, co-chair of Artists & Authors in the Park for the SVA. “The aim of this themed show is to connect our children to art and to their community,” she adds. Art Jam, this children’s art show, is open to entries of artwork of all kinds done by artists from age 4 through 12. Children have the opportunity to use a favourite art tool, be it a pencil, a pen or a paint brush, to produce a drawing or painting that shows the

using canvas, paintings must be no larger than 12 x 16 inches. Sculpture will also be considered but must not be too large as display space is limited. Collaborative art pieces are not limited to the size restrictions for individual art. The artist’s name, age and grade and the title of the drawing must be included on the front of the artwork. Contact information must be included on the back of the artwork. Those who wish to have the art work returned following the show must indicate this on the back of the work. Artwork will be made available for pickup by calling Tanya Hein at 613-686-1842 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Otherwise, all artwork submitted will remain with the Stittsville Village Association. This “Art Jam” children’s art show is one of several children’s activities that are part of this year’s Artists & Authors in the Park event on Sunday, May 27 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at Village Square Park in Stittsville. There will also be a storytime program hosted by the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library and an art workshop directed by elemenopaint, a Stittsville-based art program for youngsters.

Martial arts, Chinese lion dance at opening John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Four demonstrations, each highlighting a different aspect of martial arts. A ribbon cutting featuring city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. A dance by three colourful Chinese lions, prancing and parading before a crowd of 150 onlookers in a sunsplashed setting. And after all this, a picnic-like scene as people streamed into the new Kungfu Bistro restaurant in Stittsville to receive sample snacks, many emerging with small plates filled with Chinese food which they ate, picnic-style, some sitting in the sunshine on the sidewalk while others stood in groups, enjoying the food and each other’s company. Yes, it was an opening for the ages, at least for Stittsville, with martial arts, ceremony and a traditional Chinese cultural dance mingling to proclaim the opening of this new Kungfu Bistro restaurant at the Stittsville Crossing plaza (Sobeys plaza) at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road. It all started at 11 a.m. last Sunday, May 13, Mother’s Day, when Margarita Chen, marketing manager for this new Kungfu Bistro restaurant, wearing her own white martial arts outfit complete with her black belt, welcomed the assembling crowd, introducing the restaurant’s two chefs, her husband Tony Chen and Fan Sito. A blue mat spread out on the broad concrete sidewalk area in front of the restaurant was the stage, as it were, for four martial arts demonstrations. First up was the Sunny

Tang Ving Tsun Kung Fu program of Carp, which explained and demonstrated the art of Wing Chun, a simple system of martial arts based on the natural motion of the human body while emphasizing balance, coordination and timing. The whole system is based on a straight-line principle that says that punches or kicks should be delivered directly to the target area via the shortest route. It is also based on a centerline theory that the centerline of the body should always be protected. Next up was the Stittsville Tae Kwon Do program which wowed the crowd not only with its demonstration of team patterns but even more so with its board breaking. Jeremy Guibert, Liam Blackie, Jorge Rivera and Kamil ChadirjiMartinez were all successful in smashing a board using their foot and their martial art training. Impressive, impressive! After a solo demonstration by the Daido Academy of Ottawa, which is a Chinese cultural school, Iber Road’s Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy took over the mat with a two-part demonstration. One saw Taleah Mayer fend off three different assaults. Whether Taleah’s white outfit as opposed to the black outfits worn by her assailants was in any way a representation of good versus evil, who knows but one thing is certain – the audience loved her triumph over the assaulting boys. The other part of the demonstration involved a performance by two time world champion Bren Hunter of Stittsville whose precision moves, adept flailing and toss-

40 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, May 17, 2012

ing of his javelin-type weapon and his intensity brought forth appreciative cheers and applause. These martial arts demonstrations, each within a five minute time frame, set the stage for the Chinese lion dance where three colourful lions – golden, blue and black – performed to the beat of a huge black drum played by the Kungfu Bistro’s own Margarita Chen. The golden lion approached the door of the Kungfu Bistro, grabbing in its mouth lettuce which had been attached to the door. This was all part of this blessing ceremony performed by these three dancing Chinese lions. When this cultural blessing had been completed, it was

time for the official ribbon cutting, with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri doing the honours, accompanied by Margarita Chen and the two chefs, Tony Chen and Fan Sito. This ended the formal grand opening ceremony with those in attendance then getting to enter the restaurant and enjoy its Chinese food offerings. In recent years, Kungfu has become a well known name thanks to a number of martial arts movies and actors depicting the skills associated with Kungfu. But essentially “kungfu” can be used in ways unrelated to martial arts, referring to any skill or technique derived from long and hard work. This new Kungfu Bistro in

Stittsville qualifies in this regard as its owners and chefs have over 25 years of experience in the Asian food industry. The chefs have fine-tuned their “kungfu” at the woks. These woks, heated to high levels, are physically lifted and vegetables and meat are tossed at quick intervals to avoid burning. These uncooked vegetables and meats are transformed instantaneously with the result that crisp green vegetables and meat are cooked to perfection. Adding in quality ingredients and the absence of the artificial enhancer called MSG and the result is a healthier eating experience. The name “Kungfu Bistro” was chosen by the owners of this new restaurant because

of their admiration for the martial arts. Indeed, marketing manager Margarita Chen holds a black belt in martial arts. The new Kungfu Bistro is open from 11 a.m. through the day and evening from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, the restaurant opens at 3 p.m. and remains open through the evening. The restaurant offers dining in and take-out. The restaurant can be contacted at 613-8316808. The website is www. kungfubistro.com where there will be menus, trivia about Kungfu and on-line ordering. Chinese food is available throughout the day and evening. In addition, Vietnamese soups and dishes are available during lunch times.

It seems to me that we should find a way to celebrate great Canadian achievements. We should be able to display, for all to see, artefacts that mean something to the real people of our great country.

This is an iconic space directly opposite Parliament Hill that would be greatly enhanced as the treasure chest of our nation. And it has been sitting empty for 10 years.

Girls Night Out Special to the News

EMC news - Comedy will be front and centre at this year’s sixth annual Girls Night Out event slated for Friday, June 1 at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena in Richmond. That’s because the entertainment headliner for the evening is Glen Foster who goes by the moniker “That Canadian Guy.â€? This all stems from his Gemini nominated comedy special “That Canadian Guyâ€? which struck a chord for its hilarious but dead on portrayal of the conicted Canadian psyche. The show made such an impression that he has now become “That Canadian Guy.â€? He is a veteran of the Canadian comedy scene, performing for over 25 years. He has appeared several times on CBC’s “Just For Laughsâ€? and has performed on several television shows including the Mike Bullard Show and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival. Comedian Foster is also a frequent participant on CBC Radio’s “The Debatersâ€? program.

Glen’s comedy deals with an intelligent but slightly “edgyâ€? type of humour, with material that is clever, topical and timely. As with previous Girls Night Out events, there is much more in store at this year’s event than just the entertainment. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with those handsome volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters once again on hand to escort ladies to their seats. There will once again be a margarita and sangria tiki bar and dinner will be served by AJ’s Catering. There will be live and silent auctions as well. All of this can be enjoyed for just $65 per ticket which comes with a $25 income tax receipt. All of the proceeds, as in the past, will be going to help support Friends of Hospice Ottawa which provides free palliative in-home care and related services to those suffering from illnesses which could be terminal. Tickets can be purchased from Lynn Hull at 613-8383071 or via email at gno.lynnhull@gmail.com

“We Know What Works�

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Goodness knows, I was used to sleeping on a feather mattress. That didn’t mean I went all over Northcote bragging about it. My sister Audrey said only poor people used feathers, because feathers were free. My little friend Joyce slept on a mattress that was tufted and about six inches thick. Pink with blue owers – what luxury! There were no feathers in Joyce’s mattress. If I complained to Mother about the differences in Joyce’s mattress and mine, she didn’t hesitate to tell me we were lucky to have feathers. She knew some farmers who didn’t raise enough chickens to get the ample supply of feathers needed to ďŹ ll a mattress. And they certainly couldn’t afford a felt mattress, like my friend Joyce slept on. What they used was straw. I couldn’t believe anyone in the entire Northcote area actually slept on straw. When I approached Audrey about it, she said Mother was right, there were indeed people, neighbours in fact, whose mattresses were stuffed with straw. It certainly wasn’t a subject you could easily bring up in the school yard, even though I was dying with curiosity. I found myself looking over the girls at the Northcote school, trying to ďŹ gure out just who was poor enough to sleep on straw, but was never able to single out one person who I thought couldn’t even afford enough chickens for feathers. Well, the riddle was solved for me one day and I didn’t have to do a thing about it other than accept an invitation from Gracie to spend the night at her farm on the next line. It wasn’t at all unusual for us at the Northcote school to be invited to stay at one another’s home for a night. I

never liked to be away from my mother, not even for a night, but if the neighbour lived close enough and they had a horse and buggy just in case I had to come home through the night from homesickness, I was willing to go for the overnight visit. Gracie lived in a log house just like ours. She too, came from a big family, went to the same church we did and her brothers and sisters all went to the Northcote School. That day, along with my lunch and book bag, I carried to school a brown paper bag with my pajamas and clean underwear in it. You would never dream of going anywhere overnight without clean underwear. It was like going to church in your bare feet. Gracie’s kitchen table was longer than ours and it needed to be in order to accommodate all the brothers and sisters. Like ours, it had two benches on either side instead of chairs. The table was amply laid and like us, not a morsel was touched until Grace was said, after which there was the greatest commotion as each of Gracie’s brothers made a stab for a pork chop from a plate that was stacked skyhigh. Gracie’s mother slapped the brother closest to her, and her father did the same with the brother at his elbow. “Can’t you see we have company?� he roared. I looked at the table piled high with food and I decided then and there Gracie’s family wasn’t one of the poorest in the Northcote area. With that many hands, it didn’t take long to red up the kitchen. The whole family settled down to playing board games, whittling, looking through the Eaton’s catalogue and Gracie’s father, just like mine did every

Straw mattresses didn’t always mean poverty

EMC news - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) wants to do something to recognize its volunteers. The SVA executive passed a motion at a recent meeting to hold a volunteer appreciation event, with a committee comprised of SVA secretary Tanya Hein and SVA director Doug Sutherland established to plan an appropriate event.

night, pulled up a chair to the cookstove, pulled down the oven door, propped up his feet and got into reading the Family Herald and Weekly Star. I wasn’t sure how it was arranged, but Gracie and I had a bed to ourselves. That probably meant that three of her sisters had to sleep together. When her mother rolled down the top quilt, and Gracie and I plopped into bed, I quickly learned what a straw mattress felt like! There under the annelette sheet, making sounds just as if we were playing in the hay loft in the barn, I came face to face with my very ďŹ rst straw mattress. I was sure I wouldn’t shut an eye all night. I wondered if it was clean. How many horses or cows had been bedded down on it before it was brought into the house and packed into a ticking? But it didn’t smell like straw or hay. There were fresh sheets on the bed with that wonderful outdoor smell I was used to at home. The pillows were made of feathers, for which I said a silent prayer of thanks. When I was taken home the next day in the buggy, there were no signs that Gracie’s family was poor. Her father smoked a pipe just like mine did. And the horse was fat of rump, which Father always said was a sure sign of a well looked-after animal. No, there was no sign of poverty anywhere. And they had a telephone long before we had one. So why were they sleeping on straw mattresses? My sister Audrey, always my main source of information, said she was sure it was because Gracie’s mother was so busy having babies, she never did have enough time to pluck chickens, wash feathers and stuff mattresses. At that young age, it all made perfect sense to me.

It was Tanya Hein who brought up the idea at the meeting, proposing a volunteer appreciation/recognition event to publicly recognize those who help the SVA with its events and other activities. “I think recognition is very important,� SVA director David Fairbrother said. SVA director Tim LaPlante agreed that recognizing the contributions of volunteers is an important thing to do. SVA director Theresa Qadri agreed, saying that anytime an organizing can recognize its volunteers, it’s important.

Ingredients for tasty springtime salad

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff

Proposed bylaw to restrict outdoor hydronic heaters John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

This week’s recipe is for a simple three-ingredient salad that features a colourful, tasty combination of spinach, avocado and strawberries. Although it’s quick and convenient to use a bottled salad dressing, you may want to make one of the following dressings for the salad. Both are quick and easy to prepare. The Roquefort dressing can be made thick and chunky or smooth and creamy. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is light and has a slightly sweet flavour. The recipes for the salad dressings may make more than what you will need for this salad. Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to one week. Springtime Avocado and Strawberry Salad for Four 1 large bag of fresh baby spinach 10-12 fresh strawberries, sliced (or more if you like) 1 avocado, peeled and cut into small, bitesize pieces Your choice of salad dressing This salad is best prepared just before serving. With baby spinach, I like to remove the stems and tear any large leaves into bite-size pieces. To prepare the salad, fill a salad bowl with the spinach, then arrange the strawberry slices and avocado on top. You can either drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad, or let everyone

serve themselves at the table. Homemade Roquefort Dressing 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (Roquefort) 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tbsp. sour cream 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk For a chunky texture, mix the ingredients with a fork. For a smooth texture, use a food processor. The thickness can be varied by the amount of milk you add. To prepare the dressing, combine the cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream in either a bowl or a food processor. Gradually stir or blend in the milk until the dressing reaches the desired consistency. Makes about 1 1/2 cups Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing 1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar (or raspberry-flavored red wine vinegar) 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. dried basil To make this vinaigrette, use a container, such as a small mason jar, that has a tight-fitting lid. Combine all the ingredients in the jar. Close the lid tightly, and shake well. If you are making this ahead, just before serving, shake the dressing again. Makes about 2/3 cup.

EMC news - They’re called outdoor hydronic heaters or outdoor wood burning boilers and the city of Ottawa thinks that they need regulation. That’s why the city wants to among its zoning bylaw to include provisions covering these outdoor hydronic heaters/outdoor wood burning boilers. The provisions are to limit these devices to rural areas excluding villages and to make these devices subject to minimum lot size, setback and stack height restrictions. Units in existence at the time of the passing of any zoning bylaw changes would be grandfathered but any replacements would be subject to the new provisions. Lot size and setback requirements being proposed by the city’s planning department include a minimum lot area of two acres, a minimum distance from a property line of 30

metres and a minimum distance from a dwelling on an adjacent property of 60 metres. The proposal is to restrict residential outdoor hydronic heaters/outdoor wood burning boilers to regular areas excluding villages. The planning department is also recommending that all new and replacement units include a permanent stack or chimney as least as high as the peak of any residential roof within 150 metres. A public meeting to give the public an opportunity to comment on this possible regulation of the location of outdoor wood burning boilers is being held on Wednesday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at 2135 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. This is one of two public meetings which the city is holding on the matter. The other meeting will be in Carlsbad Springs on Thursday, May 24.

Many street names in Richmond come from history of the village john.curry@metroland.com

as warden of Carleton County and was one of those instrumental in having South Carleton High School located in Richmond in 1952. He also operated a garage on the site of the present-day Memorial Park in Richmond; Hemphill Street - William Hemphill was reeve of Richmond from 1928 to 1931. His son, John Hemphill, was postmaster of Richmond from 1912 to 1941 as well as village clerk for 20 years; Nixon Farm Drive - William Nixon was a farmer whose farm lane ran where the street is located now; Moore Street - Harold Moore was reeve of Richmond from 1947 to 1949; Shea Road - John Shea was a farmer whose farm was on the Shea Road immediately north of the village; Huntley Road - This is the former regional road five which runs northward beside the Richmond arena towards Stittsville. It was the historical road which led from Richmond towards Huntley township (which became a part of West Carleton township and now is part of the West Carleton Ward of the city of Ottawa) and beyond that to the Upper Otttawa Valley and the lumber camps there. Four subdivisions in the village have street names that do not refer to specific historical personages from the history of the village. When Sefton Nesbitt’s property was subdivided in the 1950s, the street names reflected family names. Douglas Drive was named after his son, while Evelyn Street was named after his wife. Penny Street was named after his daughter while Bennett Street reflected his mother’s maiden name. Stewart Street referred to James Stewart, a former Richmond reeve and businessman. The Richmond Estates subdivision at the south end of the village was subdivided in the 1970s with the Terkuc family building the homes. The street names for this subdivision do not have any particular historical connection to the village’s history. The street names are Richland Drive, Lulworth Court, Underhill Court and Longridge Court. The King’s Grant subdiviR0011405272-0517

EMC news - Street names in Richmond refer in large part to the history of the village, with street names arising not only from the names of historical personalities from the time of the establishment of the village in 1818, but also arising in many cases from the names of significant persons throughout the history of the village. Richmond initially was laid out by military surveyors in a grid pattern and the initial street names included references to the monarchy of the time, as well as to prominent early military settlers. With the formation of the new amalgamated city of Ottawa in 2001, a process was undertaken to eliminate duplicate street names in the vast new municipality. This resulted in the change of some street names in the village but most retained in the new name some reference to their original name. Duplicate street names had to be eliminated in the new city so that the 9-1-1 emergency response system would work properly and efficiently. The street names in Richmond and their historical significance are as follows: Queen Street (now called Queen Charlotte Street) Charlotte was the wife of King George III who was on the throne in England in 1818 when Richmond was founded; Fortune Street - Colonel Fortune was associated with the 100th Regiment of Foot which provided the core group of military settlers in 1818; Maitland Street - Sir Peregrine Maitland was the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada at the time of settlement. He was also a son-inlaw of the Duke of Richmond, married to Lady Sarah Lennox; Fowler Street - Major Fowler was an officer of the 100th Regiment; Lennox Street - Charles Lennox was the name of the Duke of Richmond; McBean Street - McBean was the name of the surveyor who laid out the village of Richmond initially; Murray Street (now called Colonel Murray Street) - Colonel Murray was an officer of the 100th Regiment; Cockburn Street - Colonel Francis Cockburn was an aide to the Duke of Richmond. He provided the advice that led to the decision to establish the military settlement of Richmond; King Street - George III was the King of England at the time of the settlement of Richmond in 1818; Perth Street - The settlement of Perth, also established as a military settlement but two years before Richmond in 1816, could be reached by an extension of this street; Hamilton Street - Hamilton was an officer of the 100th Regiment;

Martin Street - Martin was an officer of the 100th Regiment; Strachan Street - Bishop Strachan was the first Anglican Bishop of Upper Canada; York Street (now called Royal York Street) - The Duke of York was a royal personage at the time of the settlement of Richmond; Burke Street - Colonel George Thew Burke was the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement and went on to become the area’s first MPP and later the land registrar for the area; Ottawa Street - named after the Ottawa River; Chanonhouse Drive - Dr. R. C. Chanonhouse was a doctor in Richmond who served as reeve of the village from 1912 to 1914; Dallaire Crescent - Joe Dallaire was a longtime barber in Richmond as well as the village’s first appointed fire chief; Mac Storey Street - Mac Storey, a current resident of Richmond, is a former Richmond and Goulbourn councillor, a former Richmond school board trustee, a former operator of a general store and a longtime volunteer firefighter and deputy fire chief for Richmond, after whom the upstairs hall at the new fire hall was named; Temple Street - Ernie Temple was a Richmond village councillor and school board trustee. He was one of the founders of Silver Stick Hockey; Ormsby Crescent - Major Sewell Ormsby was an officer among the first military settlers. He became a Justice of the Peace and Magistrate for the settlement; Stewart Street (now named Musket Street) - James Stewart was reeve of the village of Richmond from 1907 to 1911 as well as being a prominent farmer, carriage maker and undertaker. Musket Street carries a connotation of pioneer military muskets, evoking the memory of the disbanded British military settlers who were the initial settlers in the Richmond area; Gamble Drive - J. Edgar Gamble was reeve of Richmond from 1932 to 1946 and from 1950 to 1968. He served

sion in Richmond features in its first phases street names related to the War of 1812 in keeping with the military roots of Richmond’s early settlement. The 100th Regiment fought in the War of 1812 and many of the early settlers were veterans of this war. King’s Grant itself relates to the system of the king, namely King George III at that time, granting land to settlers after they had cleared it. Street names in the first phase of the King’s Grant subdivision are Lundy’s Lane after a battle in the War of 1812; Regal Crescent in reference to King George III; Mary Hill Crescent, named after Maria Glennon Hill, one of the original settlers whose first husband Sergeant Taylor ran the Masonic Arms Tavern where the Duke of Richmond attended a banquet in his honour on the night before his tragic death at Richmond in 1819, and who later married Sergeant Hill, another of the early settlers. She bequeathed the funds for the spire of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond; and Melissa Court, named after the daughter of the developer of King’s Grant. Street names in the King’s Grant subdivision include Gertie Street, Arlberg Lane, and Dr. Neelin Drive. None have any particular historical connection to Richmond. The Richmond Oaks subdivision off Perth Street, being developed by Cedarstone Homes, has three street names in its first three phases, Tarryn Terrace, Rochelle Drive and Mira Court. These street names are associated with relatives of the developer. The streets in the new Hyde Park townhouse retirement community in Richmond have names with a British flavour. That is because the street names have come from a list of possible street names provided by Mrs. Joyce Deeks, one of the first residents of the community, based on street names from her native Great Britain. The streets names selected for Hyde Park are Oak Leaf Private, Chestnut Green Private and Grassendale Private.
