Proposal to name GRC’s new ice pad

EMC news – The “Matt Bradley Arena.” If you think this has a nice ring and significance to it, then you should be in favour of a proposal that has passed through the city of Ottawa’s Commemorative Naming Committee and is now out for public input and consultation. The proposal is that the now-named “Ice Pad B” (the new ice pad) at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex should be renamed as the “Matt Bradley Arena” in honour of Stittsville native Matt Bradley who began playing hockey in the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association at the age of six with his father Paul as one of the coaches to ultimately go on to play 675 games in the National Hockey League for four teams over a 12 year career (2000 to 2012). Any comments about the proposal or for further information, you should contact Erica Begley, Office Assistant, City Clerk and Solicitor Department, Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1, phone 613-580-2424, ext. 15899 or via email at namingottawa@ottawa.ca. Comments about the proposal must be received by Saturday, June 15. The city reports that the new name will recognize Matt Bradley’s athletic accomplishments, noting that he has demonstrated excellence in the sport of hock-

ey. It was a career which started with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association in Stittsville when Matt, who was born in 1978, was six years old. He played bantam-level hockey with the Ottawa Valley Titans in the 1993-94 season, a competitive-level team drawing its players from communities across the Ottawa Valley including Stittsville. He played for the Cumberland Grads of the Central Junior Hockey League in the 1994-95 season before being selected by the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League in the second round (31st overall) of the 1995 Ontario Hockey League draft. He went on to star for the Kingston Frentenacs for three seasons (1995-1998). Matt played for the Canadian national junior team which competed in the world junior championships in Finland in 1998, a great experience even though the team finished a disappointing eighth. Matt was drafted by the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League in the 1996 NHL draft, chosen 102nd overall. He turned professional for the 1998-1999 season, playing for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the American Hockey League. After two full seasons with the Thoroughblades, he split the 2000-2001 season between the Thoroughblades and the San Jose Sharks. See MATT BRADLEY, page 3

He was with the San Jose Sharks full time in the following season and then remained in the NHL through the 2011-2012 season. He played two seasons with the San Jose Sharks before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins where he spent the 2003-2004 season. It was then on to Washington for six seasons before he joined the Florida Panthers for the 2011-2012 season. In June 2012, the Panthers bought out the remaining year on his two year contract, making him a free agent. With the lockout at the start of the 2012-2013 season, Matt went to play for TuTo of the Finnish second division but after one game, was injured and returned to Canada. He has not signed subsequently with any NHL club. Over his NHL career, Matt played in 675 games, scoring 59 goals and adding 90 assists while accumulating 562 minutes in penalty. He also played in the Stanley Cup playoffs with both San Jose and Washington. A right winger, Matt was considered a solid, hard working player. Particularly in his years with Washington, he was involved in the team’s outreach activities in the community. He was also interviewed at times on Team 1200 sports radio in Ottawa over the course of the season and was always well spoken, informative and accessible. He was always identiďŹ ed as being from Stittsville, his hometown and the community where his parents and grandparents

lived. Matt is the fourth generation of the Bradley family associated with Stittsville. His great grandfather Fred opened a store in Stittsville in 1914 and it went on to be a retail ďŹ xture in the community for the next eight decades. Matt’s grandfather Bill Bradley took over the store from his father and then Matt’s father Paul took over the store from Bill. While a name is being proposed for this new second ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, the original ice pad is still not named in honour of anyone. Speaking at the Stittsville Village Association’s executive meeting on Thursday, May 16, councillor Qadri said that names could be suggested by the community for the original ice pad but that such suggestions should be directed to his ofďŹ ce. He said that the ice pad could be named after an individual or a group. However, councillor Qadri noted that the overall name of the now-Goulbourn Recreation Complex remains as a sponsorship opportunity rather than a commemorative naming opportunity. He made it clear, though, that any name applied to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in total will still have to have the name Goulbourn Recreation Complex attached to it. He gave as examples “Tim Hortons Goulbourn Recreation Complexâ€? or Pepsi Goulbourn Recreation Complex.â€? He said that the name would go to the highest bidder although the sponsoring name would be vetted to ensure an appropriate reputation.

Stittsville Appreciation Awards Special to the News

EMC news - Bagpiper Jordan McConnell of Stittsville once again this year led the procession of nominees into the hall at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex for the Stittsville Appreciation Awards ceremony, the ďŹ fth annual. But this year those among the nominees included one very special person for Jordan – his grandfather Ivan Warner, a nominee for the prestigious Roger GrifďŹ ths Memorial Citizen of the Year award. And Ivan became more than a nominee at the ensuing ceremony as he was named as the recipient of the Roger GrifďŹ ths Memorial Citizen of SANDY DUROCHER the Year award for this year. John Brummell, centre, holds the Senior Citizen of the Year Award Ivan Warner has been an involved which he received at the Stittsville Appreciation Awards ceremony on participant in the Stittsville and area Tuesday, May 14 from city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, left, and city of community for years, supporting Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, right. community events. He is a member

of the Stittsville District Lions Club and has served as a church treasurer. A Korean War Veteran and member of the Stittsville branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Ivan has been a speaker at the Remembrance assembly at Goulbourn Middle School in the past. The Warner name, of course, is well known in the Stittsville community as Ivan’s brother Sterling Warner was one of the chief organizers of the community campaign to build what is now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. The street beside Poole Creek leading into the arena has been named Warner Colpitts Lane in honour of the arena campaign’s two leaders, the late Sterling Warner and the late Ian Colpitts. Honoured as Senior Citizen of the Year in the Stittsville Appreciation

He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. He is a former member and president of the Stittsville District Lions Club and he played a role in the formation of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville in 2004. He is an avid supporter of the Goulbourn Skating Club and presents an annual trophy to one of its skaters. In recent years, he has taken on an increasing leadership role with the Hazeldean Masonic Lodge. See MAYOR, page 5

Mayor attends awards ceremony Continued from page 4

He has looked after a Masonic bursary fund which provides bursaries to youth not only in this area but across the province. John’s community work and involvement was recognized several years ago when he received the Kanata Chamber of commerce Citizen of the Year Award for Goulbourn. Selected as Business of the Year in this year’s Stittsville Appreciation Awards was the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street. This coffee shop not only provides a local spot where people can enjoy a coffee or latte or a goodie as well as conversation with friends but also has provided employment, especially for youth who can often be found behind the counter. But there is more to the Gaia Java coffee shop than this. It has a “tips jar� whose proceeds go to development projects in the Third World. It serves as a ticket sales location for concerts and events put on by community groups. It has hosted book launches and book signings and even a chess night to give more exposure to that game. The Gaia Java coffee shop is becoming well known for

its weekly Friday music evenings where a different musical performer or group performs each week. This gives the performer, frequently local youth, the opportunity to perform before a live audience. It also gives an opportunity for those in the community to enjoy a free evening of live musical entertainment. Recipient of the Youth Citizen of the Year Award this year was Marielle Gauthier, a grade 12 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School who was a nominee in the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program earlier this year. She plays hockey, has obtained a groomer’s license to work with race horses, models, plays the violin, has established a blog “Millie Tarry� to help children who have a parent stationed overseas with the military, has won a Stittsville youth connexion poetry contest and created a prize-winning video about the proposed expansion of the Carp Road landfill. As a student, she has travelled to Vimy Ridge, another indication of her support for and interest in the Canadian military. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson was in attendance again this year for this Stittsville Appreciation Awards ceremony which is organized by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

Waldorf student wins in national writing contest John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa Waldorf School grade seven student Mackenzie Hauch Krueger has won a national writing contest. She won the grade seven category of The Book Week 2013 Writing Contest with her poem submission entitled “Papadum.� And how did papadum, a thin, crisp discshaped food, become the inspiration for the poem? Well, Mackenzie was with her mother, cooking papadum, when one piece got burned. This gave Mackenzie the spark of inspiration that she needed to write the poem. It is just such random happenings that give Mackenzie the inspiration for write, both poems and stories. “It flows if I’m inspired,� she says, adding that she never knows where the inspiration may come from. It may be burned papadum as in this case; or, for instance, a comment about exclamation points which led to another poem. You just never know. Mackenzie, whose father Alan Krueger is a teacher at the Ottawa Waldorf School, is a voracious reader who always has a book nearby. She admits that she likes weird-ending fictional works although she also likes romance and fantasy books as well. She says that she will read almost anything except for non-fiction which she finds does not interest her much. “When you read, it’s like a movie in your head,� she says, noting that she can visualize the characters in a book that she is reading and is able to totally describe the characters to others. Mackenzie likes writing both stories and po-

ems, especially in the wintertime, although she far away place,/with long, dry days, and hazy is like a dragon’s home,/hot, fierce, the sun so admits that poetry allows the writer to really nights./Unbroken deserts that have broken bright it almost blinds you./Yet there is beauty,/ paint a picture for the reader.

In winning, her poem “Papadum� will be published online. She is also receiving a $250 gift certificate for the book store of her choice which is going to be Chapters. This is the first time that Mackenzie, who lives in Kinburn, had entered this competition and she feels that being a winner is “pretty cool.� The Book Week 2013 Writing Contest is a national writing contest sponsored by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre. This is a national not-for-profit organization founded in 1976 that is dedicated to encouraging, promoting and supporting the reading, writing and illustrating of Canadian books for young readers. Their programs, publications and resources help teachers, librarians, book sellers and parents to be able to select the best books for young readers. Mackenzie’s poem “Papadum� which won the grade seven category in this national writing contest, reads as follows: “It starts out innocent,/round, flat, a paper thin disc of exotic taste./But if you looked, really looked,/listened to its hidden song, you JOHN CURRY/METROLAND would find much more./As bubbles rise like volcanoes from its surface,/Steam and smoke Mackenzie Hauch Krueger stands beside the Ottawa Waldrof School’s sign.

A PA Day program entitled “Shillings, Shakos & Shenanigans� will be held on Friday, June 7 from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners.

Time to confront concussions

T

he death of a Barrhaven teen after sustaining a severe head injury during a rugby game last week has highlighted the need for more education about concussions and brain

injuries. Rowan Stringer, 17, a John McCrae Secondary School student and the captain of her school rugby team, was tackled hard and hit her head and neck on the ground during a game on May 14. According to comments from her parents, Rowan had suffered two head injuries the week leading up to her fatal injury. The first time, she told her parents and took a pain reliever, the second time she only told her friends about the injury. We don’t know if these were concussions, but the family has authorized an autopsy to find out the factors leading to her death. Ottawa’s public school board is now taking a hard look at its safety policies to see if they can be improved and make sure players aren’t playing with injuries. But we can’t place the onus on just the coaches – it’s impossible for them to monitor every single hit. All of us – parents, family members, fellow players, properly armed with the knowledge about the dangers of head injuries can help prevent

athletes playing with concussions. The president of the Brain Injury Association of Canada has suggested, during an interview with the media, that Rowan might still be alive today if there was better awareness among coaches, players and the general public about the dangers of repeated concussions. The danger of suffering an injury, ranging from bumps and bruises to broken bones and head injuries, is a fact of life for all athletes. Nothing will change that. But athletes properly educated about the dangers of head injuries, can intelligently decide whether or not they are fit to participate in a game or competition. A big part of the problem is athletes don’t want to report head injuries because they’re afraid they will miss games. Education is a universal cure for poor decision making and a key component for preventing and treating sports-related concussions. Schools and sports associations should provide coaches, players and parents with the training and knowledge to both identify and treat concussions and head injuries. Research shows that if an athlete takes a hit to the head and suffers headaches afterwards, they may have suffered a concussion. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

Public and private adjustment to playoff hockey mode

T

his time of year the news media, searching for ways to make hockey playoffs meaningful to the nonhockey population, focus on the fans, big crowds of them in matching colours, shaking towels in matching colours, yelling, dancing, or – as in Toronto – looking suddenly suicidal. The cameras prowl around the city looking for hockey fans being interesting – which is to say, noisy and excited. Naturally, the cameras find the public areas where noisy and excited people gather. In Ottawa, that would be the so-called Red Mile downtown. People with painted faces and colourful costumes are there. Along the Red Mile, and its equivalent in other cities, the cameras enter the bars, where people are all too happy to wave and shout and chant and look like newsworthy fans. But there are other, less newsworthy fans in our city. Perhaps they are the majority. Fortunately for them, the cameras do not seek them out. For these fans their fanaticism is private. They stay out of the public places. Their faces remain unpainted and they wear their normal clothes. Yet in their own way, they are making the adjustment to playoff mode.

Funny Town This requires changes in their behaviour patterns. Dinner, instead of being at the usual time, now must be earlier, to be over in time for the game. Or it must become a different kind of dinner, in order to be eaten off the lap in front of the TV set. Or it must be so late as to be verging on fashionable. Social life becomes more complicated. A dinner party scheduled weeks ago suddenly is found to coincide with the game. It can’t be shifted: that would be rude. So calculations have to be made. Are the guests fans? Would they mind eating at 5:30, before the game? Would they mind eating at 10 p.m., after the game? Can they persuaded to eat Chinese food off their laps, in front of the TV, with chopsticks? And if the guests are not hockey fans? Published weekly by:

There are people in the world who think about other things and are oblivious to what happens on the ice. They want to talk about Syria. How many times can you sneak away from the conversation during dinner to check the score? And what will be your excuse – stirring the dessert, making the coffee, a sudden nosebleed, another sudden nosebleed? And how to explain to your guests the sudden elation/depression you feel around 10 p.m? Depression could be Syria, I suppose. Another trial facing the private fan has to do with his/her children/grandchildren. They can scarcely be shielded from the fanaticism that is all around them. But they can’t be allowed to stay up until 10 on a school night either. As a consequence, a small but significant proportion of the fan base only sees the first period. But even that one period has its own challenges. The commercials have to be muted – which leads to the spectacle of silent video game monsters and Justin Trudeau in his undershirt. Further, a quick escape strategy has to be plotted to divert impressionable young eyes away from the fights. “Quick: Weather Network!� goes the cry whenever the gloves are dropped. In some games, the children see more low

pressure systems than slapshots. They must wonder why people paint their faces for this. Even among private fans, the pressure builds, the anguish and the ecstasy, the groans and cheers, and the tough part, at the end of it, is to explain to the children and grandchildren of private fans that it’s only a game, that you shouldn’t be mad at your team, you shouldn’t hate the other team and life goes on, win or lose. While you’re doing that, the screen fills with all the grieving painted faces in one city and all the hysterically happy painted faces in the other. Quick: Weather Network!

Winner in poster contest Special to the News

EMC news - One of the ten winning posters in a national poster contest for schools highlighting conflict resolution strategies was submitted by a student from Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville. A poster designed by grade six student Samantha Bauer was selected as one of the winners in the contest. And her win means that Guardian Angels is receiving $500 from the Rock Solid Foundation, sponsors of the contest, with the funds to be spent on books for the school. Three Guardian Angels students also received honourable mention in the contest which attracted 500 posters from across Canada. The honourable mentions went to grade two student Ryann Smith and to grade five students Lauren Cheslock and Spen-

cer O’Brien. The poster contest is centered on the WITS program which stands for Walk Away, Ignore, Talk It Out and Seek Help. These are four simple conflict resolution strategies that students learn in the WITS program. The WITS program was launched in 1999 by the Rock Solid Foundation in conjunction with a team from the University of Victoria. The nationwide poster contest is held to promote the program in schools. Posters submitted in the contest must depict one of the four WITS strategies. At Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville, the WITS program is part of a whole-school approach in creating a caring and safe environment for students.

Raising $600 for Sacred Heart cake auction John Curry

the recent charity cake auction at Sacred Heart Catholic High School, bringing in $600

all by herself. And she did it the old-fashioned way by going door to door on streets in

R0011967133

EMC news - She was the top individual fundraiser in

Stittsville, asking for donations. Serena Kam’s $600 helped raise her home room’s total to over $2,000 which was tops in the school, giving the class its choice of the cakes on display in the cake auction. And all of the funds raised by the cake auction, this year totaling some $35,000, go to one of a number of selected charitable causes, both locally and internationally. Serena Kam, who is 12 years old and in grade seven at Sacred Heart, knocked on doors along about a dozen streets in Stittsville in order to raise her $600 for the cake auction. She hit almost every door on these streets, spending at least ten hours doing so, and found that most people were very receptive and welcoming. She received donations ranging from toonies on up with many giving $20. Serena admits that she is surprised that she ended up raising the most of any student in the school and is also surprised at her home room’s overall top rating in the fundraising race. When she got the information about the cake auction and its fundraising focus, she turned to door-to-door canvassing as her method of fundraising. She had done this earlier in the year when

Serena Kam she went door-to-door selling Ottawa Senators tickets in a school fundraising initiative. Since this is Serena’s first year at Sacred Heart after completing grade six at Guardian Angels Catholic School, she was unaware of the cake auction before hearing about it this year. But when she learned from her home room teacher about a student who had once raised $400 individually for the cake auction, she set her mind to beating that amount. And she also was motivated by the example of her mother’s experience in her youth when she did a lot of fundraising. “It’s a good feeling,” she said about her fundraising effort, saying that she will definitely do more fundraising for the cake auction in future years, again using the door-to-

door canvassing model. At Sacred Heart, Serena is a member of the Girls Glee Club which performed at the recent Catholic Education Week open house at the school. She is also in the Red Maple Reading Club which encourages the reading of Canadian literature. She has read all of the ten designated Canadian fiction books on this year’s Red Maple reading list. She admits that she reads a lot, particularly in the summer, although she has no particular favourite kind of book. Math is her favourite subject in school but so far she has given no thought to what career she might like to pursue later in life. She has been playing the piano for about six years and takes lessons, although she says that she is not that advanced in her playing. But she likes doing it. “You can pick so many different songs with different emotions,” she says, explaining that she plays all kinds of music. Serena also plays soccer as a midfielder with the West Ottawa Soccer Club’s U13 team. She particularly enjoys playing games at different fields throughout the area and says that she doesn’t mind all of the running involved, calling the game fun.

Art, books, music and more at ‘Artists and Authors in the Park’ john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Village Square Park in Stittsville becomes an art gallery and library, as it were, this coming Sunday, May 26. That’s because the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is presenting Artists and Authors in the Park, an annual event that sees both artists and authors there in the park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street, displaying their works and available to chat with all comers. Artists and Authors in the Park will happen this Sunday, May 26 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free. Besides the art and writing creations on

display, there will also be music in the air at the event as students from Stittsville’s West End Music, located on Stittsville Main Street just steps from Village Square, will be performing throughout the afternoon. One of those performing is scheduled to be Ally Maheral of Munster who won the Ottawa Idol competition last year. Ally is a student at West End Music. But there’s even more than art, books and music in the works at this year’s Artists and Authors in the Park event. There will be a children’s art workshop put on by Tracy’s Art Studio. There will also be special readings presented for the children present. The SVA confirms that both city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa

Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri are scheduled to be at the event. The mayor will apparently be there about 3 p.m. Arrangements have not yet been firmed up regarding a possible BBQ at the event. But if these arrangements do not fruitful, the SVA itself will have some snack foods on hand for everyone’s enjoyment. The big unanswered question, of course, is the weather. The SVA has asked Mother Nature to cooperate and is hopeful that sunny weather will prevail. There is no rain date for the event. Last minute participation by artists and authors can be arranged by contacting SVA director Tanya Hein at 613-686-1842 or via email at tanya.hein@travnet.org.

EMC news - It’s a Sobeys but moving around the store, you might think that you are in a Canadian Tire or a Lowes or a Home Hardware. That’s because Stittsville Sobeys at the Stittsville Corners shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road has arranged with these stores – Canadian Tire, Lowes and Home Hardware – to display some of their seasonally-appropriate products at the grocery store. Tim LaPlante of Stittsville Sobeys admits that this is the first time that he has displayed products from other retailers to such an extent in his store. He has done it previously in a limited way but this recent initiative sees products from these other retailers located throughout the store – on top of display areas, in aisles, on top of freezers – wherever there is space and shoppers can see them. Mr. LaPlante says that the feedback from customers so far about this display of seasonal items from other retailers throughout the store has been good and he himself feels that it gives a seasonal look and feel to the store since the items on display are seasonally related. “I like the feel and the look,” he says about these items from other retailers on display in his grocery store. He says that placement in Stittsville Sobeys gives good exposure to these other retailers and their products since about 10,000 people pass through the store each week. Signage has been put up identifying where these items, as varied as a dirt bike, a wheelbarrow, a patio set, a bicycle, a BBQ and a boat complete with outboard motor. No prices are displayed. But there are no tires or tools – two categories of items that do not fit with the overall seasonal theme and do not tie in well with related grocery products. The items from other retailers on display are seasonally appropriate so that they tie in with the grocery products around them. So, for instance, you have a display of available condiments in the area of a BBQ on display. Mr. LaPlante says that these seasonal items from other retailers will remain on display in the store until September. Other products of a fall and winter nature might then be brought in to be on display.

200 hotel rooms coming to Scotiabank Place John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - You may soon be able to stay in a hotel room in the shadow of Scotiabank Place. The proposed multi-building hotel and restaurant complex would also be just across the Huntmar Road overpass on highway 417 from the new Tanger outlet mall expected to open in the fall of 2014 across highway 417 from Scotiabank Place. The hotel/restaurant project would be located at the northwest corner of Huntmar Road and Palladium Drive, with Scotiabank Place to the east and the Palladium Auto Park surrounding it on the northwest. The proposal calls for two 100-room hotels plus two stand alone buildings housing restaurants. One hotel, a proposed 100 room, four storey building, would face on Huntmar Road at the

Huntmar Road/Palladium Drive corner while a second hotel, which would be a proposed 100 room, five storey building, would face on Palladium Drive just east of Auto Park Private going into the Palladium Auto Park. The two stand alone buildings housing restaurants would be located on Huntmar Drive immediately north of the four storey hotel building. Each stand alone building would house a sit-down restaurant with a size of 5,812 square feet. This hotel/restaurant complex would have its own parking area located behind the buildings. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, in explaining the project at the Stittsville Village Association executive meeting on Thursday, May 16, said that in the long term the city will be seeking more intensive development at this site but that at present the hotel/restaurant proposal is considered appropriate. He said that this proposed hotel/restaurant project is just the start of what will be happen-

ing in the Scotiabank Place area as it becomes an entertainment and shopping hub. The proponents of this hotel/restaurant complex presented the proposal at a recent meeting of the Fairwinds Community Association since the Fairwinds community is the closest residential area to the site.

Ayah Stretch of the Fairwinds Community Association, who is also a director on the Stittsville Village Association, reported that the only concern of the Fairwinds Community Association about the hotel/restaurant development is the negative impact of increased traffic on the existing Huntmar Road which runs through the heart of Fairwinds. Future new roads in that area could alleviate this but the timing of these roads is uncertain at present.

Apartment buildings planned Special to the News

EMC news - Three four-storey apartments buildings are to be built in Monarch Homes’ subdivision in the Fernbank lands. They will be built south of the Trans Canada Trail adjacent to the hydro corridor which runs in an east-west direction through the Fernbank lands.

The Monarch subdivision is where homes are now being built to the west of the model homes which have been erected adjacent to Terry Fox Drive just south of the Trans Canada Trail. This is at the north end of the former Glendon Moore farm. There will be three apartments buildings, each four storeys high, with 192 units

altogether (62 per building on average). The apartment buildings conform to the existing zoning for the site which allows medium density residential development which includes low rise apartments. The Community Design Plan for the Fernbank lands allows the development of such apartments in the Fernbank lands. R0012086347

Swimming is fun for Amelia Authier John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Recently, Canadians have raised concerns about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program being used by some employers to replace Canadians with foreign workers. Our government’s priority is to ensure that Canadians get first crack at available jobs in their area. This is why we have launched a review of the Program, and have moved quickly to identify and correct the problems that were preventing qualified Canadian workers from getting jobs. We will ensure Canadians are always given first chance at available jobs. We are mandating that companies produce a solid business plan to transition from the use of foreign workers to Canadians, including training Canadians if necessary. This will ensure that temporary foreign workers do not become permanent employees or a long-term solutions solution when many Canadians cannot find employment. We are also ensuring that we hold companies accountable, by increasing our authority to revoke work permits for those companies that do not play by the rules. This will prevent further fraud and ensure that the introduction of foreign workers into the workplace does not have an overall negative impact on the labour market. We are asking additional questions as part of the application process, so that when employers bring in temporary foreign workers, no Canadian workers are displaced as a result of outsourcing. We will require that employers using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program pay the workers at the prevailing wage for that job. Our government is also proposing the introduction of fees for companies who wish to employ foreign workers, so that taxpayers are no longer subsidizing the application process. These changes will strengthen and improve the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and support our economic recovery and growth. Our government will continue to review the program, and you can expect more changes in the coming months. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton

they’re more fun since a reader can always easily see how much is left to read. Amelia has both a cat, Buddy, and a dog, Fonzie, a black lab, at home. Fonzie, named after the character in the TV show “Happy Days,” is approaching five years old and Amelia likes him. “I just really like him,” she says. “He’s friendly.” Amelia is in her first year at Sacred Heart but she likes the school, especially its early starting time and early dismissal. She likes math, though admittedly is not too great at it, and also likes English and science. She says that she will probably become a grade five teacher – yes, specifically grade five. That’s because she liked what she learned in grade five and

Reforming the Temporary Foreign Worker Program

EMC news - Amelia Authier likes to go fast – in the water. The grade seven, 12 year old Sacred Heart High School student began swimming competitively with the Goulbourn Sea Hawks this year and she has really liked it. And her favourite is the breaststroke. She finds that it is really fun to do and even though it is a slower stroke, she tries to go fast which is her passion. The 50 metre distance for breaststroke is her favourite but she does swim up to 200 metres. Amelia finds that she is better at the breaststroke than other strokes which is why she likes doing it. She also does other

strokes in competition but the breaststroke is her favourite. Competition meets happen in locales like Kingston, Gatineau and Perth as well as in Ottawa at places like Ottawa University. Amelia trains with the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swim team four times a week, working on such things as keeping her head steady doing the stroke. Admitting that she is not that good at other sports, she says that she has fun swimming. She enjoys having made a lot of friends on the Sea Hawks competitive team this year, noting that her fellow swimmers are really nice and very supportive. But swimming is not Amelia’s only love. “I like to read a lot,” she says, adding that she likes reading the real printed books, saying that

also because she liked her grade five teacher. Her younger sister, Abigail, dances at the Allegro Danceworks studio in Stittsville but Amelia says that while she used to dance, she switched to swimming because she liked swimming more and she thought it would be more fun for her.

Helen McKenna-Lyng Breast Cancer Dance john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s an annual dance which last year attracted more than 800 people but it is more than a dance. It is now named the Helen McKennaLyng Breast Cancer Dance to remember her 15 year battle against cancer, a fight that she lost in 2011 at the age of 55 but it is more than a memorial to this one person. It is happening close to her May 28th birthday date now but in most of its previous seven happenings, the date has been before the May long weekend or elsewhere on the calendar, so it is not just a birthday party for one. It’s being held on the grounds at St. Clare’s Church at Dwyer Hill, the community where Helen McKenna-Lyng grew up and lived her whole life but it is more than just an occasion where those in the area can get together. It is all of these things, of course, but it is more, so much more. It is an event that allows people to remember, not only Helen McKenna-Lyng and her courageous 15 year battle with cancer but also the way she lived her life, always smiling

and laughing, always caring about others, always focused on family and friends. But remembering Helen McKennaLyng and the way she lived her life, always including others, is only part of the story. “It’s just really a social event to remember everyone you may have lost,” her daughter Sharon Lyng says about this dance which happens this coming Saturday, May 25 from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. at St. Clare’s on Dwyer Hill Road in Goulbourn. It provides an opportunity for those touched in some way by cancer – and virtually everyone has been – to turn cancer on its ear by celebrating Helen’s life which was so caring and giving despite her long struggle against the disease but also to remember others who shared the same path and likewise showed the indomitable spirit and contagious optimism reflected in Helen’s life. But this dance is also an opportunity for everyone to fight back by helping raise funds for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation to help in the battle against cancer. The past seven dances have raised over $160,000 for breast cancer

research and equipment. Proceeds from this year’s eighth annual dance will be going completely towards the purchase of a new diagnostic machine that allows for early diagnosis – a breast ultrasound with elastography. Knowing that this machine will be helping people not only throughout the area but also locally is why it was chosen as the beneficiary of the funds raised with this dance. Breast cancer is what Helen McKenna-Lyng battled for 15 years and it is why this May 25th dance named after her is continuing – her family wants to make the future a world where breast cancer can no longer take the life of strong, courageous and loving women like Helen McKenna-Lyng. Last year’s dance was the first one held without Helen McKenna-Lyng there as she had passed away in Nov. 2011, just after reaching her 55th birthday. It was the first year that those attending were not greeted by her smiling face at the entrance because that’s where she loved to be – selling tickets, yes, but more importantly, welcoming everyone with her smile – yes,

Helen McKenna-Lyng that smile that everyone remembers. And that’s the way it was with Helen. Although never shy about her own cancer experience, she was always the life of any party, a social butterfly, you might say. She talked with everyone – she was a friend of everyone. How could you resist that smile or that laugh which some, affectionately, remember as “snort laughs.” What has become a huge gathering on the St. Clare

SAVE UP TO

Church grounds at Dwyer Hill, with massive community corporate and business support, began when some friends and family back in 2005, calling themselves “Helen’s Angels,” held a dance to raise money for their participation in the former 60 kilometer Breast Cancer Walk in Ottawa. The first dance raised $1,000 and set the stage for this annual event which now raises not just one thousands dollars but thousands of dollars each time. This is all because of the generosity and support of the community, not only in the Dwyer Hill area but the wider community as well. All of the bands and performers who entertain at the dance donate their time. Business, corporate and community sponsors cover virtually all of the expenses – use of the church hall is donated, the BBQ meat is donated by the Hobbs of Ashton, Richmond Bakery donates the buns, the sound system is donated, the stage is donated, Cavanagh Construction donates lighting, local businesses like My Car in Richmond, Golden Triangle Signs in Prospect and Danby’s Pub in Munster step

up and ensure that everything needed for a successful dance is there. And this applies to so many businesses through the area – in Richmond, Ashton, Munster, Carleton Place, Merrickville, Stittsville – they all help out not only because of Helen’s enduring memory but also because it’s being part of the fight to find a cure for cancer. The dance goes ahead rain or shine. While the St. Clare Parish Hall could never shelter the hundreds who attend and tents cannot protect everyone, the dance goes on, reflecting Helen’s attitude: “It doesn’t matter if you get wet. It’s just rain.” Only a Dwyer Hill girl and only one who has battled cancer over the years could reflect such an attitude – there are far greater discomforts in life than a little bit of rain. The dance, up until last year, had always been held on the Saturday before the long weekend in May. But as of last year it has been moved to the Saturday after the long weekend in May, a date closer to Helen’s own birthday of May 28. See DANCE, page 24

This year’s dance is happening this coming Saturday, May 25, running from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. at St. Clare’s Church on Dwyer Hill Road south of Franktown Road in Goulbourn. There will be lots of music including an appearance by up and coming performer Jordan McIntosh who is becoming a familiar sound on radio Y101. Some of the bands are returning from other years; other performers will be there for the first time this year. There will also be raffles, door prizes, a BBQ and snacks and, oh yes, a cash bar. People of all ages are welcome to attend and they do, from babies all the way up to those over 80. It is really just one big social event, celebrating Helen’s life but also supporting the fight against cancer. Yes, Helen continues to lead the fight for a cure for cancer even after her own passing. This is her legacy and its success is a testament to how much the community loved her and her caring and sharing ways demonstrated throughout her all-too-short 55 years of life at Dwyer Hill. She meant a lot to so, so many. There is no specific fundraising goal set for this year’s dance but all of the proceeds from ticket sales, the BBQ and raffles and just direct donations (tax receipts are provided for donations of $20 or more) will go towards the new breast cancer diagnostic machine for the area. And the fact that the dance, through its widespread appeal, increases awareness of breast cancer is also a benefit that derives from this ongoing initiative.

Helen was born in 1956 and raised at Dwyer Hill, one of six children of D’Arcy and Tillie McKenna. She always had a passion for helping others, whether it was her siblings, her parents, her friends or others in the community. It was not surprising that she became a nurse, working at the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit for over 30 years. She and her husband Brian Lyng met in high school and were married at St. Clare’s Church at Dwyer Hill in 1980, spending the next 31 years together and raising three girls – Alana, Sharon and Breanne. Helen was not only a mother but also a hero and best friend to all three girls. It was in 1997 that Helen was first diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing a lumpectomy with intense chemotherapy and radiation. Strong willed, she was declared cancer free in 1998 and remained in remission for nine years. But in 2005, the cancer had returned. She underwent a mastectomy and more chemotherapy, fighting the cancer back into remission. But cancer, that persistent disease that it is, returned in 2009, having spread now to her lungs. More chemotherapy followed and Helen kept fighting but her courageous fight ended on Friday, Nov. 25, 2011 at the age of 55. Throughout her life, Helen had the knack of bringing people together. She is now still doing this, albeit from above, as this annual Helen McKenna-Lyng Breast Cancer Dance continues to bring people together, united not only in remembering a courageous battler but also in rallying to find a cure for the scourge of cancer in today’s society.

Museum banner at city hall john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Goulbourn Museum now has a huge presence at Ottawa city hall. It’s in the form of a giant banner promoting the Goulbourn Museum, complete with three colour photographs on the banner of three artifacts from the Museum’s collection. They are three family-friendly artifacts including a doll, a tricycle and children’s shoes. It is one of ten banners promoting the ten community museums in the city of Ottawa which were unveiled at a ceremony at Ottawa city hall on Thursday, May 16. The ten museums are the Goulbourn Museum, Nepean Museum, Bytown Museum, Osgoode Museum, Watson’s Mill, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, the Diefenbunker Cold War Museum, the Billings National Historic Site, Cumberland Heritage Village Museum and Vanier Museopark. The banners are hanging on both sides of the five massive granite pillars that are about 12 feet wide and 20 feet tall that are located in the heart of city hall, right in the centre of the central foyer area. Each banner covers about three-quarters of the side of each pillar. There is also a container below each banner which holds promotional information about the museum publicized on the banner above. Initially the Goulbourn Museum banner was going to feature three photographs related to Goulbourn’s early history being settled by soldiers whose regiment was disbanded after the War of 1812 but it was felt that there might be some confusion about these photographs by those unfamiliar with Goulbourn’s history. As a result, the photos used on the banner depict artifacts of a child and family oriented nature which should be more appealing to those viewing the banner at Ottawa city hall. And there will be quite a few eyes possibly viewing these banners which are meant to be on permanent display on these pillars. That’s because 10,000 people visit city hall each day. This was pointed out by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson in his remarks at the ceremony launching the banners. The mayor told how he was walking by the city hall foyer pillars once day and noticing their blank appearance, he wanted to enhance their use. He recounted how it has been an objective to try to make city hall more of a people place, citing the examples of the Rink of Dreams, the relocation of the city’s Sports Hall of Fame from Scotiabank Place, the Barbara Ann Scott figure skating exhibit, the Key to the City display, the Order of Ottawa space and the presence of an art gallery as ways that this is being accomplished. And now these new banners, making city hall “a living museum” celebrating the success and activities of Ottawa’s community museums, is another aspect of this, a natural extension of the

initiative, to quote the mayor. The mayor noted that the local community museums are terrific but without the promotion budgets of the national museums located in Ottawa, their presence is sometimes forgotten. These banners hanging at Ottawa city hall will give some great exposure and advertisement for the city’s community museums and their special events, the mayor said. Calling them “beautiful banners,” mayor Watson said that the city is fortunate to have such great local museums located in all parts of the city. He said that there is a need for more people to visit them and said that this banner program at city hall will give people a glimpse of what these museums are offering. He said that with the once-in-a-generation opportunity coming up regarding Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, he said that there is a need to let visitors to the city know that there is more to Ottawa than just the downtown museums and national institutions. At this launch ceremony for the banners, the Goulbourn Museum also had a display of the Museum’s artifacts which had received 65 hours of conservation work by a conservator hired by the Ottawa Museum Network. This had been the Ottawa Museum Network’s first collaborative project with local community museums. For the Goulbourn Museum, the conservator had worked on an old photo album and had flattened and cleaned a pioneer deed. The conservator also made recommendations about preservation of the artifacts in the Goulbourn Museum’s collection. This ceremony which saw the launch of these giant Museum banners at Ottawa city hall also marked the announcement of an “Inquiring Minds” initiative in which schools will be able to spend a full week at a local community museum, getting hands-on experience in these historical environments. Such a program has been popular in Calgary and the Ottawa Museum Network is now initiating a similar program in the city of Ottawa. This “Inquiring Minds” program will be rolled out this coming September, with classes from grades two through eight eligible to participate. Although the total cost of each week of the program at a community museum is $3,000, given the bussing and other costs involved, the cost for a participating school will be only $250. The “Inquiring Minds” program will be developed to tie in with classroom curriculum and to offer an opportunity for students to pursue the critical inquiry learning that is a goal in today’s education. The Ottawa Museum Network was founded in 2007 as a result of the city of Ottawa’s Museum Sustainability Plan. It works to raise awareness of the ten community museums in the city of Ottawa, trying to engage both residents and visitors in local heritage by telling the greater Ottawa story.

How sweet it is!

Manny Olszynko, son of Frima Olszynko and her husband Frank who operates the Heads Up Barber Shop that is adjacent to the ice cream parlour and who has helped his wife over the years and particularly with setting up this Stittsville location, a second location to the long-established Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour in the Byward Market in downtown Stittsville. But this ribbon cutting ceremony was only but one attraction at this afternoonlong activity day at Lois ‘N’ Frima’s in Stittsville. Two major attractions – and they both involved horsepower – were an Ottawa Fire Services pumper from the Stittsville Main Street fire hall, complete with a contingent of five volunteer firefighters on hand to show youngsters through the truck’s cab, and three horses and riders from Stittsville’s Sunset Farms on the Hazeldean Road. The pumper truck’s stay at the grand opening was cut short at 12:55 p.m. when the firefighters, with the truck’s flashing lights on and siren sounding, had to rush away to respond to an emergency call. This was just after the trio of horses had left the scene

EMC news - “Probably the sweetest place in town.” That’s how city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri referred to Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour at its grand opening celebration last Sunday. Councillor Qadri, wearing an Ottawa Senators jersey on a Sens playoff game day, helped Frima Olszynko, the Frima in Lois ‘N’ Frima’s, cut an appropriately coloured pink ribbon to mark the official opening of the business, located at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. The ice cream parlour features pink and blue in its interior wall colours. In his remarks before the ribbon cutting, councillor Qadri welcomed Lois ‘N’ Frima’s to the community and read a message from city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson echoing these sentiments. He presented a certificate signed by the mayor and himself to Frima before the ribbon was cut at 12:37 p.m. Holding the ribbon were Nilesh Arulchelvam, a youth attending the event who was enticed into the role, and

Eating buble gum flavoured ice cream at the grand opening of Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon are two year old Cullen Ralph, left, and five year old Cooper Ralph, right. on their way back to Sunset Farms after an hour at the grand opening event. And as they left, Grits McMullen of Sunset Farms, one of the three riders, all of whom enjoyed ice cream treats at the event, remarked that the Lois ‘N’ Frima’s ice cream was certainly the best in her view. The three horses – ridden by Grits McMullen, Eva Von Jagow and Nadia Bachar – stood patiently outside the ice cream parlour, letting youngsters and those not so young pet them and even feed them slices of apples. They were a big hit – and, you had better

believe it, they were big, especially Nadia’s 14 year old horse “Mac.” Frank Olszynko, who claims that horses love Lois ‘N’ Frima’s ice cream, prepared three blue bowls of soft ice cream for the horses. The horses reception of the ice cream was nothing like they might have had for, say, a bag of oats but Grits McMullen surmised that the coldness of the ice cream might have thrown them off or perhaps it was just that the horses were not used to such a treat. But the same, of course, could not be said for those who

attended the grand opening as a bevy of white-hat servers in the ice cream parlour served up ice cream cones and treats to a stream of eager customers. Of course, the fact that ice cream cones were being sold for $2 (including tax), the same price as when Lois ‘N’ Frima’s started 30 years ago, only added to the demand. And the blue bubble gum flavour seemed to be a favourite, or at least, was the most noticeable in the outdoor area beside the ice cream parlour where five new picnic tables were set up as seating for customers. While Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream does not normally serve hot dogs at this location, it was doing so at this grand opening event, selling them for 50 cents each, with the proceeds going to B.A.R.K., the Bytown Association for Rescued Kanines. This is an Ottawa area organization that rescues abused or abandoned dogs. A colourful attraction at the grand opening event was the presence of two clowns who worked their magic with balloons and also did face painting, both hits with the younger crowd at the event. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour, which has been open since the end of March, is located

at the west end of the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. It is at the rear of the Head’s Up Barber Shop with access via a door around the western side of the building. Plans are for a canopy to be installed over this door, clearly identifying it as the entrance to the ice cream parlour. Benches and chairs and now picnic tables are set up in the adjacent area and an adjacent wooded, green area is being cleared out as yet another spot to sit and enjoy the ice cream. The plan is to install Christmas-type lights on the trees of this area to make it an even more welcoming spot, especially in the evenings. There is plenty of free parking at the Ultramar Plaza, particularly in the evenings and on weekends when some of the other businesses at the plaza are closed. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour has plans to host a “Dog Day Afternoon” this summer where dogs will be the featured guests. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Ice Cream serves a wide variety of ice cream, highlighted by Lois ‘N’ Frima’s specially developed recipes. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s also serves nut free, sugar free, gluten free and lactose free ice cream as well as other ice cream treats.

‘Music Man’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Aidan Saunders could be considered Sacred Heart High School’s ‘Music Man.’ Not that he has that much in common with the scheming Professor Harold Hill from the 1957 Broadway musical “The Music Man� – except the place of music in their lives. Music plays a big part in the life of Aidan, 13, who is a grade eight student at Sacred Heart. He has been a member of the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s choir since he was in grade four at Guardian Angels Catholic School simply because he likes singing. This choir practices every Monday evening as well as one Saturday morning a month. The choir performs all over the city, such as in the Kiwanis Music Festival and at Remembrance Day ceremonies as well as at special events. As a member of this choir, Aidan has sung in the presence of such dignitaries as the Governor-General and even the Emperor of Japan. At Sacred Heart, Aidan sings with the school’s Boys Aloud group which is just for grade 7 and 8 students. He also is a member of the grade eight band. And he does all this simply because he likes singing and music. Last year in the band, he learned how to play the saxophone. This year he switched to learn the clarinet. The band practices once a week after school and performs at school events. Aidan has been taking piano lessons for several years now on the advice and urging of his mother who believes that piano forms a base for learning

Aidan Saunders how to play all other instruments. Aidan is now at the grade three level in his piano training. But piano, clarinet and saxophone are not Aidan’s only instruments of interest. He also plays the ukulele and the mandolin, which he taught himself to play. “It’s just a cool instrument, I think,� he says about the mandolin. Aidan figures that either music or math will be in his future. He says that he has always been fairly good in math and he seems to be getting even better at it in high school. But he also wants to be a musician later in life – so right now both music and math are under consideration. Besides his music, Aidan is involved in hockey, playing for a number of years now, most recently with the Stittsville Bantam C team. A left winger, he says that the recent season was a fun one. Describing himself as a good passer, he says that he likes being a member of a team. His favourite National Hockey League team is, of course, the Ottawa Senators, although he does not have any particular favourite player.

At Stittsville Legion EMC news - Bingo is played at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street every Wednesday starting at 6:45 p.m. Euchre is played every Tuesday starting at 1:15 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy both of these regular weekly happenings.

Fiddling in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There was lots of fiddling around in Richmond this past weekend. But it was not because it was a holiday weekend, giving people extra time in their lives, but rather because the 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition took place in the hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) on Saturday and Sunday. A stage backdrop featuring two merry Irish leprauchauns playing the fiddle and clicking their heels, with musical notes pouring forth from the artwork, set the scene perfectly because the event was an impishly happy gathering, with toes tapping and smiles broadening as the audience witnessed the competitors in the various fiddling and stepdancing categories. A banner proclaiming “Ottawa Fiddle & Step Association” and complete with a string of musical notes running along it, was on display over the performance area which was set up at the east end of the hall. This was a new venue for the Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition this year, not in terms of being in Richmond where it has taken place for a number of years but in terms of being in the hall of the Community Centre. Previously the competition happened in the Richmond Curling Club but a switch was made to

the Community Centre hall as an appropriate and economical venue. This year’s competition attracted three competitors in the unique fiddle/dance category in which a participant not only plays the fiddle but also stepdances at the same time. Marley Mullan of Ottawa captured the class, beating out her runner-up sister Michaela Mullan and Natalie Harrison, both also from Ottawa. A number of recreational trailers were parked at the Richmond fairgrounds adjacent to the Community Centre during the weekend, as this fiddle and stepdance competition, like others, attracts competitors from near and far. There were stepdancers, for instance, not only from Nepean, Osgoode and Carleton Place but also from places like Penetanguishene. And similarly fiddlers arrived from all around including Chesterville and Braeside. Richmond’s own Elly Wedge was also a participant in the event. The Saturday program saw a variety of competition categories staged in both stepdancing and fiddling, all the way from those aged 8 and under to those aged 70 and over. Sunday’s program saw more fiddling and stepdancing while the Sunday evening program featured the finals in various categories. The Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition website can be found at www.ottawafiddlestepdance.ca.

Little Florist Birthday parties are educational, creative and fun! Budding florists will learn about flower identification, flower care and floral design at our little florist birthday parties. The best part is that everyone goes home with their own unique flower arraignment! We wanted to share a recent flower party with you. Last Sunday afternoon, FlowersInspire hosted a little florist birthday party for Jordahn and her friends in Ottawa. When we arrived, the girls were so excited to see us and welcomed me as the “flower ladyâ€?. Eager to start their flower party, they helped us bring in the flowers and carry a large floral delivery box into the house. Along with the flowers, we also brought everyone a smaller box with a vase and a card to write their names. We started by taking some time to get to know everyone and shared stories on how flowers are inspiring. After explaining what the word inspired meant, here is what they said: r +PSEBIO JT JOTQJSFE CZ QJOL BOE CVUUFSĂłJFT r &NJMZ JT JOTQJSFE CZ +VTUJO #FJCFS r %FCCJF JT JOTQJSFE CZ TVOTIJOF BOE ĂłPXFST r .BZB JT JOTQJSFE CZ IFS IBJS r 4IFSJ JT JOTQJSFE CZ IFS NPUPSDZDMF r -BVSZO JT JOTQJSFE CZ QSFUUZ UIJOHT TIJOZ UIJOHT BOE IFS MJ[BSE r .JLBZMB JT JOTQJSFE CZ SVCJFT r 5BZMPS JT JOTQJSFE CZ MBVHIUFS

Taylor’s flower was the carnation for the month of January. Jordahn’s was the daffodil, and most of the other participants all born in July learned their flower was larkspur. It was now time to fill our vases with flowers. They learned how to cut their greenery and use leather fern to create the base of their vase flower design. We then added a few “filler flowers� called solidago and statice, followed by daisies, Yoko Onos and mini-carnations. Then we finished the design with our accent and line flowers, including tulip, freesia, and gerbera’s. The children loved to put the final touches on their bouquets with several accessories including yellow butterflies. When the budding florists were asked which flower inspired them the most, here is what they said: r +PSEBIO BOE -BVSZO HFSCFSB r &NJMZ GSFFTJB r %FCCJF UVMJQ r .BZB TUBUJDF r 4IFSJ :PLP 0OP r .JLBZMB BOE 5BZMPS DBSOBUJPO

Oh by the way, the owner of FlowersInspire (Vanessa) is inspired by butterflies, the color pink and ice cream cake!

At the end of our session, Jordahn had a special request. She wanted to make corsages for everyone, a skill she picked-up at Kidsfest, where she first found out about FlowersInspire and Little Florist birthday parties.

The girls then put on their green aprons and we were ready to begin the floral session. Jordahn asked why the aprons had the words “Pick Ontario� on them. A great question to start the session!

+PSEBIO EJE BO BNB[JOH KPC JOTUSVDUJOH IFS GSJFOET BOE GBNJMZ IPX UP DSFBUF a corsage with a carnation floral wire and tape. All eyes were on this floral protĂŠgĂŠ as she showed everyone each step of the creative process.

We looked at posters of Ontario-grown plants and flowers, which also identified when they are available throughout the year. We also learned about some other local varieties that grow in their own province and throughout the rest of Canada.

Everyone had a wonderful time sharing, laughing and learning about floral designs and everyone was proud of their creation.

We then opened a box of flowers and the inspiration and learning began! We passed around a large variety of flowers, including hot pink gerbera daisies, yellow tulips, pink and white mini carnations, purple statice, yellow ow solidago, mauve freesia, white daisies and green Yoko Ono’s. The children were

EMC news - Working to end polio in the world. Helping establish a library in Uganda. Building a gazebo at a local women’s shelter. Sponsoring an international film series. Sleeping out in tents in wintertime to publicize and fundraise for Shelter Box, a Rotary International program which helps out in areas of natural disaster. These are just some of the projects, both international in scope and also local in scope, that the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has been involved with since its formation in 2004. And it is all done by Club members who not only want to do good, both in their local community and around the world, but also who want to enjoy the fellowship and fun of others as they go along this journey known as Rotary

and Rotary International. “Having fun, doing good,” is how Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville president Carolyn Clark summed it up as she related some of the history of Rotary and Rotary International at the May meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last Saturday afternoon. She explained that Rotary, which officially began in 1905 with the chartering of the first club in Chicago, grew out of a desire of founder Paul Harris to replicate the fellowship and community feeling of his hometown community in the big city of Chicago where he had moved to become a businessman and lawyer. He got the idea that others might want to experience the fellowship and community feeling that they also had left behind in their smaller hometowns and so the Rotary Club was founded.

And Paul Harris must have known something, because Rotary spread quickly throughout the United States. By 1910, it became international with the formation of a club in Winnipeg. Today, of course, there are some 31,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide, with some 1.2 million members spanning at least 60 different countries.

Rotary first came to Ottawa in 1916 with the formation of the Ottawa Rotary Club. A second Ottawa area club, the West Ottawa Rotary Club, did not come along until 1957, part of a post-war expansion of Rotary. Ms. Clark dispelled the myth that Rotary is a club just for men, noting that the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is about half and half with its membership – half men, half women.

Rotary 101 Continued from page 47

And she gave her own experience as evidence of how women are welcomed into Rotary. She said that when the Stittsville club was being formed in 2004, she asked Shad Qadri, who was to become the Club’s first president and later went on to become the Stittsville ward councillor on Ottawa city council, a position which he holds today, if she could attend a meeting since both her grandfather and an uncle were Rotarians. Shad surprised her by inviting her not just to attend a meeting but to actually join the club. It must be admitted, though, that for years Rotary was a male-only organization. It was only in 1989 that Rotary International ruled that women could join and the first female Rotary member joined in 1991. The Rotary Foundation was founded by Rotary members who felt that Rotary should be doing more throughout the world. The Foundation distributes funds, raised by donations from members, so that Rotary Clubs can undertake projects internationally. But the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, just like other Rotary Clubs, is involved in local projects as well as those on the international scene. The Stittsville Club has supported the Ottawa Rotary Home, a respite home serving the Ottawa area. It has also supported the Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre. It provides scholarship awards to graduating students at local high schools and has committed itself to cleaning up a section of Hazeldean Road in the city’s spring and fall clean up campaigns.

Now-councillor Qadri, who was at the Historical Society meeting, recounted the formation of the Stittsville club, noting that it was the efforts and enthusiasm of those like David Ireland, John Brummell, Brian Hartley and Russell Hicks which convinced him to become involved with working to establish a Rotary Club in Stittsville. He said that a Rotary Club not only helps a local community but also helps those around the world with projects such as those involving providing clean water to communities where it does not exist. Councillor Qadri said that he also realized that there was a fun part of Rotary, arising from the “camaraderie” taking place among those who join the club. He noted that the Stittsville Club started in 2004 and received its charter in 2005 which happened to be the 100th year since the founding of Rotary. It was thus one of the clubs which can claim to have been chartered in Rotary’s centennial year. “Since then this Club has really, really taken off,” councillor Qadri said about the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. He acknowledged that the Stittsville club has remained a relatively small club in terms of membership but said that the membership and its diversity is a good reflection of what the Stittsville community is all about. Councillor Qadri explained that the club was initially called the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Goulbourn and then changed its name to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville because most of the members were from Stittsville and area. The name “Ottawa” is included in the name because it helps identify the club’s location in the city of Ottawa for Rotary Club members from afar who may be visiting Ottawa and want to know what Rotary Clubs exist in the city.

Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville president Carolyn Clark noted that the Stittsville club has been involved in Rotary International’s campaign to end polio in the world. She noted that India has now been without a case of polio for two years, meriting polio free status. Pakistan is nearing this status while Afghanistan and Nigeria are the other two countries in the world which are still not polio free. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville hosted an international film series from Janu-

ary through April of this year. This year’s inaugural four-movie series was well received with the final movie, “The Sapphires”, an Australian film, even attracting the attendance of an official from the Australian High Commission in Ottawa to the sold-out showing. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has been involved with youth leadership programs and is considering becoming involved in international youth exchange programs.

Here comes Fun Day

EMC news - It’s a Sunday but it’s also going to be a Fun Day at Stittsville United Church on June 2nd.

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Burger Family – Baby Burger, Teen Burger, Mama Burger, Papa Burger and others – is coming to Stittsville. An A&W restaurant with its Burger Family menu and renowned root beer among other fast food is going to be built at the northwest corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road at the Stittsville Corners shopping area (where Stittsville Sobeys is located). The city of Ottawa has just received a site plan application for the construction of this stand-alone building with drive-thru which will be located facing Hazeldean Road immediately southwest of the hydro line which slices through the Stittsville Corners shopping area. The Barley Mow pub fronting on Carp Road is on the other side of this hydro line. The time line for construction of this A&W restaurant is not known but the city of Ottawa is now processing the application. The zoning and overall site plan for this shopping area all permit such a stand-alone building in this location. A&W is an iconic name in fast food restaurants, dating back to 1919 in California with the name coming from the surname initials of founding partners Roy W. Allen and Frank Wright. It began as a way to help Wright’s root beer business and by 1960 had expanded to 2,000 locations. A& W was known in the 1950’s and 1960’s for its drive-in restaurants where car hops served the customers in their vehicles. A&W restaurants in Canada were originally part of the U.S.-based chain but were sold to Unilever in 1972 which in turn was bought out by management in 1995. There is no management connection now between A&W in Canada and A&W elsewhere in the world. In the 1980’s, A&W focused on shopping mall locations. However, by the end of the 1990’s, A& W in Canada began opening new stand-alone restaurants.

Special to the News

EMC sports - The Stittsville 56ers of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will be playing against a new team in league action this year. The Micksburg Twins have joined the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) as the leagues eighth and newest member. Micksburg, located in the Cobden area, has a long history of fastball involvement, especially with the now-defunct Upper Ottawa Valley Men’s Fastball League. Action has now begun in the GOFL for this season with the Stittsville 56ers getting off to a good start with a 10-6 opening game

victory over the Manotick Blitz. The 56ers exploded for six runs in the fourth inning, sending 11 players to bat, as they broke the game wide open, taking a 104 lead. Darren Featherstone’s base-clearing triple was the big blow in the inning. Dan Konkle, who had come on in relief in the top of the fourth inning in place of Trevor Scott, got the victory on the mound for the 56ers. With the addition of an eighth team in the league, the GOFL has gone to two divisions, a North Division and a South Division. The Stittsville 56ers are in the league’s South Division along with Kars Aces, Manotick Blitz and Barrhaven Broadway Blues. Teams in the North Division include Fitz-

roy Harbour West Carleton Electric, Carp 14C Victory, Quyon Flyers and Micksburg Twins. Playing for the Stittsville 56ers this season are Mike Barrett, left field; Ryan Bond, outfield; Dan Bradley, first base; John Craig, third base; Darren Featherstone, pitcher; Ben Gigliotti, infield; Scott Herriot, shortstop; Kyle Jamieson, outfield; Dan Jessiman, centre field; Scott Jessiman, catcher; Darren Ladouceur, right field; Tyler Nystedt, catcher; Scott Parsons, infield; Trevor Scott, pitcher and first base; and Adam Smith, infield.

Warriors thank Lions Special to the News

JOHN RATHWELL

Adam Chappell of Stittsville is the current Canadian freestyle kayaking champion and is on the Canadian freestyle team.

EMC sports - The Bell Warriors Football Club has said “thanks� to the Richmond District Lions Club for its support of Warriors football. Club president Paul Stewart recently presented a plaque to the Lions Club to show the Club’s appreciation of the Lions partnership with the Warriors. In 2012, the Richmond District Lions Club became the first Play Ball Sponsor for the Warriors. Under the Play Ball Sponsor program, all funds provided by the sponsor go to help offset player fees to help ensure that football remains accessible to youth from families that may be financially challenged. This helps ensure that any youth

who want to play football will have the opportunity with the Bell Warriors. “Having partners like the Richmond District Lions Club support our players like they did in 2012 is vital to make this goal achievable,� Warriors president Paul Stewart says. The Bell Warriors Football Club provides tackle and other football opportunities for youth in the Club’s territory which includes Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Goulbourn and the Bells Corners area of Ottawa. For its tackle football program, the Warriors supply all of the equipment required to play. The only thing that the player must provide is personal cleats.

Gospel choir Special to the News

EMC news - It’s a choir good enough to sing with the renowned Barbra Streisand in the finale of her concert at Scotiabank Place last October. And now you will be able to see and, more importantly, hear the Big Soul Project gospel choir and band in concert itself on Saturday, June 1 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. It’s all a fundraising effort for the Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group. Stittsville United Church is one of seven churches in the Stittsville/Kanata area involved with this Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group. Tickets for the concert by Big Soul Project gospel choir and band are available from Stittsville United Church at 613-836-4962. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for children under 12 years of age. Big Soul Project and its talented band “Deep Grove” entertain audiences with their joyful energy and songs of peace, hope and joy. Big Soul Project performs music from many genres including gospel, rhythm and blues, rock, Motown, reggae, pop and blues. The choir has performed at Bluesfest, Westfest and at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield, just to name a few locations, besides singing with Barbra Streisand last October. Roxanne Goodman is the music director of this community choir, bringing a wealth of experience as an accomplished vocalist, composer and pianist to the position. The choir was established in 1999 as the Ottawa Community Gospel Choir, growing from 12 members to over 50 by 2007. It is a non-auditioning choir with no affiliations with any particular organization. Since its founding, the choir has performed throughout the National Capital Region, performing at numerous charitable fundraisers.

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

0307.R0011949739

EMC news - Homemade lemon squares may have served as an initial icebreaker for the musical duo of singer Sandy Faux and jazz pianist John Chmaj but it is a musical chemistry and common repertoire including numerous jazz standards that makes them a dynamic performance pair as evidenced by their appearance at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. Gaia Java co-owner Paul Jay, in announcing their performance, called them “kindred souls” and this quickly became obvious in their robust approach to their music – Sandy on vocals and John on keyboard. Mr. Jay, who knew them both, had gotten them together at his home to let them discover each other. Sandy showed up with lemon squares, something that John Chmaj did not forget as he opened their Gaia Java performance with a solo piano piece entitled “Lemon Squares” which he had just written that very afternoon in honour of this new musical partnership and its lemon square beginnings. But then it was a musical trip through a myriad of musical tunes, many of them recognizable as socalled jazz standards. There were George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin compositions, among others. And thrown into the mix was a most creative Canadian rendition of the 1946 song “Get Your Kicks On Route 66” written by American songwriter Bobby Troup and sung over the years by such musical stars as Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry, the Rolling Stones and Perry Como. The song, now considered a rhythm and blues standard, references many of the cities through which Route 66 in the United States passes. Sandy Faux creatively changed the lyrics to give the song a Canadian version, much like what The Travellers did for the iconic Woody Guthrie song “This Land Is Your Land” by changing the lyrics to reference Canadian geography. So Route 66 became Highway 401 (“There’s no fun on highway

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Sandy Faux, left, and John Chmaj, right, at the keyboard, get ready to wow the crowd at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its Friday music evening last Friday, combining their vocal and keyboard skills to present a musical performance featuring a variety of well-known and time-tested songs. 401,” was the refrain that she sang) while referencing the highway’s route through places like Milton, Cambridge, Toronto, Bowmanville, Kingston and Brockville, a crossOntario trip. There was even some audience participation on the refrain amid rhythmic clapping. All in all, it was enthusiastically received. No wonder Sandy and John shared a high five at the end of the song. George Gershwin tunes performed included “But Not For Me” from the 1930 musical “Girl Crazy”; “I’ve Got Rhythm”, also from “Girl Crazy” and a song that has become an iconic jazz standard, and “My Sweet Embraceable You,” a 1928 Gershwin composition that was featured in the 1951 film “Am American in Paris” with Gene Kelly. Indeed, as it turned out, this song had special significance for both Sandy and John. Sandy, in her introduction to the

song, explained that this was one of her father’s favourites. John, proclaiming that he had not heard Sandy offer this explanation before, added that it was also one of the songs that his father loved. Another example of how Sandy and John appear to be “kindred souls.” And the performance by this duo was filled with other notable songs. There was Richard Rodgers’ song “My Romance” written for the 1935 musical “Jumbo” that has been recorded by many names over the years including Frank Sinatra, Steve Lawrence, Carly Simon and Sarah Vaughan. And as John played his keyboard solo segment of this song, as he did with all of the songs, Sandy did an impromptu ballerina spin. They were having fun. Irving Berlin was not left out of the mix as Sandy and John performed “The Best Thing For You Would Be

Me,” written for the 1950 musical “Call Me Madam” and sung then by Ethel Merman. Things slowed down a little for “Misty,” a Johnny Mathis hit that Sandy has included on her latest CD – she likes it that much and indeed called it one of her favourite songs. Its slower pace was an attention-grabber for the audience which packed the coffee shop that evening. The vocals of Sandy and the keyboard stylings of John for “Taking A Chance on Love” were mesmerizing. After being introduced in the 1940 ground-breaking Broadway musical “Cabin in the Sky” with its all-black cast, this song was a number one hit in 1943 with a Benny Goodman version featuring Helen Forrest. It was a hit again at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville last Friday. The jazz standard “Easy Living,” which has been recorded over the years by such jazz artists as Peggy

Lee, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, launched the second half of the performance by Sandy and John. It showcased the piano wizardry of John Chmaj, who certainly through his enthusiasm and keyboard artistry takes jazz on the piano to a new level. “If I Were a Bell” from the 1950 musical Guys and Dolls and a hit by Miles Davis and “Night and Day,” written by Cole Porter for the 1932 musical “Gay Divorce” and a number one hit for Fred Astaire (indeed, it became one of his signature songs), both displayed the vocal talent of Sandy and the complimentary and sometimes rigorous piano stylings of John. The 1929 Fats Waller song “Honeysuckle Rose” which is now in the Grammy Hall of Fame; the 1941 Duke Ellington tune “Just Squeeze Me,” which is now considered a jazz standard; the more modern “Sunny”, a 1966 song written by Bobby Hebb and partially inspired by the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy; and “I Thought About You,” a train travelling song from 1939 written by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer were included in the second half of the performance. Sandy and John wrapped up their performance with “I Love Being Here With You,” a familiar song sung over the years by performers like Peggy Lee, Bette Midler, Queen Latifah and Diana Krall. A call for an encore produced yet another wonderful George Gershwin song, “Summertime,” written for the 1935 opera “Porgy and Bess” and now a jazz standard. This was Sandy Faux’s first performance at a Gaia Java Friday music evening. John Chmaj has performed there previously on several occasions. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville are free. These Friday music evenings begin at 7 p.m. with a different performer or performers each time. Everyone is welcome to attend although early arrival is recommended due to limited seating.

Barbara Fairbrother of Stittsville passes away at Maycourt Special to the News

EMC news - She was a ďŹ gure skater. She was a model. She was in business in Stittsville. She was a longtime ofďŹ ce manager for The Stittsville News. She was even a well known reader of tea leaves. But most of all she was a loving wife, beloved mother and proud grandparent and great-grandparent. Yes, BarbaraAnne Fairbrother of Stittsville was quite a lady. But her three year battle with cancer ended on Tuesday, May 14 when she passed away at The Hospice at

Barbara Fairbrother

May Court in Ottawa, ending the life of an Ottawa girl whose memory is now honoured by her husband David, daughter Penny (Randy)Samek, grandchildren Kevin, Robert and Michael and great-granddaughter Athena. She is also remembered by her inlaws and many nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Jean (Charter) and Harry Stubbs as well as by her sister Virginia and brother Harvey. Born in Ottawa in Feb. 1936, she grew up in the Britannia and Westboro areas, singing in the church choir, taking acting classes, riding horses and ďŹ gure skating at the Minto Skating Club. She later went on to teach ďŹ gure skating. She also did some modeling for such stores as Birks Jewellers and Caplan’s Furs. In 1959, Barb married David Fairbrother and when David left the RCAF in 1969, the family moved to Stittsville to open Pixie Garden Centre and, eventually, Pixie Florist. Barb then worked for The Stittsville News as a columnist and ofďŹ ce manager for two decades. She was also well known in the Ottawa area as a reader of tea leaves.

At its meeting on Thursday, May 16, the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) executive approved a motion to donate $50 to The Hospice at May Court in memory of Barbara Fairbrother. David is an SVA director. Barb spent her ďŹ nal days residing at The Hospice at Maycourt.

At this May 16th SVA meeting as well, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri expressed his condolences to David for his loss, noting that Barb’s death was not only a personal loss for David and the family but also a loss for the Stittsville community who had lost a great person in Barb.

A memorial service for BarbaraAnne Fairbrother will be held on Friday, May 31 at 2 p.m. at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes on Richmond Road in Nepean (between Bells Corners and Bayshore). Donations to The Hospice at May Court in Barb’s honour would be appreciated by the family.

Two singing in Red Carpet concert EMC news - Two singers from Goulbourn – Ally Maheral from Munster and Jennifer Lauren from Stittsville – will be among nine singers who will be walking the red carpet outside the new Algonquin College Commons Theatre and then performing on stage there at the Ottawa Idol sixth annual Red Carpet concert on Saturday, June 1. All nine singers are ďŹ nalists from the 2012 Ottawa Idol (then Kiwanis Idol) competition with Ally Maheral having the distinction of being the 2012 Idol winner. Ally’s musical career is starting to take off, so much so that she even now has adopted a performance name – Ally Mayson. This change was made because Maheral is somewhat difďŹ cult to pronounce for those like radio announcers unfamiliar with it. The name Mayson is not only easy to say but also has connections to her country music style because of the well-known Mason jars, a staple of rural, country life. Thanks to her win in the Ottawa Idol competition last year, Ally, who is 17 years old, received $2,000 worth of time in a recording studio. A single which has come from this, the Nashville-written “Kiss Me,â€? is now in the Top 30 on country radio in Montreal, right up there with songs by Carrie Underwood and other country stars. Ally is working on a couple of other singles and once they are out, she will produce a demo album that she hopes will attract the attention of one of the big record companies. She describes herself as a country singer who sings what she terms “new countryâ€? – not crossover music or rock or pop. She takes the Nashville-written songs to which she has access and then tries to give them her sound without straying too far from what the writers envision or else the writers won’t give the go ahead for the song’s release. What Ally is seeking in her singing is for those who hear one of her songs on the radio to stop and think “Whoa, that is a good song!â€? Ally wants to make a career out of her music but she is hedging her bets by staying involved in school, realizing that the music industry is a tough

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 Teaâ€? program will be offered. This will focus on a Chinese tea ceremony. If tea is not your possible vehicle to relaxation, perhaps music is. You

should consider attending the “Sound of Musicâ€? program that will take place on Thursday, July 25 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. So, two different ways to ďŹ nd relaxation. Two different programs. Consider attending one or perhaps both of them. There can never be enough ways to ďŹ nd 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.

she has been singing since early in life, it was not until about the age of 17 that she became serious about it as she had to decide what she was going to do in life.

business in which to be a success. Her backup plan is to be a veterinarian technician and that’s something that would be OK with her because she admits that she loves animals and one day wants to own a farm. The grade 11 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, who has been singing since about the age of two, says that her mother, who was an opera singer, has been her inspiration in her singing. She only started singing in competitions about three years ago - before that she was just basically singing at home with her family and in variety shows. She was surprised that she won the Ottawa Idol competition last year since the competition attracts so many good singers. The year before she was also in the competition but did not even make the top ten. She found that in her second year in the competition last year, she was better prepared about what to expect and was able to control her nerves better. She had the goal to make the top ten in the competition and once she had done that, she just kept trying and she ended up winning it all. She admits, though, that she was in shock when her name was announced as the winner. For Jennifer Lauren, 20, of Stittsville, one of the top ten ďŹ nalists in last year’s Ottawa Idol competition, her goal is to be a well known singer, ideally moving to Los Angeles as her career develops. She will be singing three songs in the June 1st concert at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre as well as participating in a song by the whole group of Ottawa Idol ďŹ nalists. Last year was the ďŹ rst time that Jennifer had entered the Ottawa Idol competition, noting that making it to the top ten was a “really cool experience.â€? She says that singing in malls, where the Ottawa Idol competition largely takes place, results in different sounds and music, something that a performer must get used to. Jennifer Lauren is the name that Jennifer performs under. It is really only her ďŹ rst two names as her last name for everything other than performing is McNamara. She currently teaches vocals to beginner students at the West End Music studio on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Jennifer describes her musical style as pop with some edge to it. While

Creekside Gardens Greenhouse & Garden Centre held a grand opening last Saturday with a remote radio broadcast, face painting and other special activities. There’s a Farmers Market at Creekside Gardens (site of the former Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens at the corner of Eagleson Road and Ottawa Street) every Sunday. And the boards for the Creekside Gardens outdoor ice rink are now up and the rink should be quite a place for community enjoyment next winter…

jessica.cunha@metroland.com EMC news - The initial list of stores slated to open at a new outlet mall in Kanata were announced during a groundbreaking ceremony at the site last week. Michael Kors, DKNY, Nine West, Coach and Aeropostale were among those listed by Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. on Wednesday, May 15. Other brand names involved will include Nike, Calvin Klein, Gap, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, American Eagle and Guess. “This is an exciting time indeed,” said Tanger, adding the outlet mall will provide a “best in class” shopping experience. “My advice to you is to get your credit cards ready,” he said. The outlet mall will feature around 70 stores in its approximately 27,900 square metres of retail space. Located on the north side of Highway 417 at Palladium Drive, right across from Scotiabank Place, Tanger Outlets is set to be completed in 2014. Tanger is investing $115 million into the Ottawa economy, said Mayor Jim Watson. Along with an investment into the local economy, the project is estimated to create around 700 jobs during the construction phase and 1,000 full-time and part-time retail jobs once the complex is complete. “We are witnessing greater opportunities for consumers,” said Watson. “The centre will be an attraction for tourists.” Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson added the outlet mall will bring in cross-border dollars typically spent in the United States. Tanger Outlets and RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust co-own three other Canadian outlet malls. “Development in Canada is a tough, tough game,” said John Ballantyne, senior vice-president in asset management of RioCan. “There’s been no greater enthusiasm than for an outlet centre.” North Carolina-based Tanger Outlets owns 43 outlet shopping centers in the United States and Canada, with more than 2,700 stores operated by 460 different brand name companies.

River northward to another proposed subdivision that is flanking McBean Street. This proposed subdivision is for about 848 single family homes, 172 townhomes and 80 back-to-back units on a variety of streets. The plan of subdivision also includes two parks, a storm water pond, open space and a site for a proposed new school. Cheryl McWilliams (613-580-2424, ext. 30234) is the city of Ottawa planner looking after this proposal…The Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds will be where the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association is holding a registration night for the 2013-2014 season on Mon., June 24 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Aunt Lizzie’s strange gifts never did serve much use

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie, who we thought was very wealthy, lived in Regina and once a year she came out to the homestead in Renfrew County to check up on her only brother, and as Mother said, to make sure the farm hadn’t slipped into the Bonnechere River. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm material. She thought anyone who had lived most of her life in New York certainly wouldn’t amount a hill of beans in the backwoods of Renfrew County. Every time she came to visit, the house was in turmoil. Everything had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life and my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed and the little washstand we shared at the top of the stairs. Even the top had to be cleared off, so my collection of little stones I cherished -- small little stones I picked up on the farm and which I loved dearly -- had to be put in a little paper bag and tucked away for keeping in a safe place. Audrey’s hand mirror and comb, too, had to ďŹ nd a new home for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. Even though she was his sister, Father was always in a lather when Aunt Lizzie came for her yearly visit. She insisted on bringing him something which served no earthly purpose and which she thought he shouldn’t live without. And often the hand-me-down box included a present for Father which made little or no sense whatsoever. Like the kimono. Father had never laid eyes on a kimono before, but he insisted on wearing it when we had neighbours in for euchre one Saturday night. Even Mother couldn’t talk him out of putO T T A W A

R E G I O N A L

ting it on, but when Uncle Alec, after dealing out the cards, asked Father what in tarnation he had on over his shirt and trousers, Father decided the kimono just wasn’t for him. When Aunt Lizzie visited us in Renfrew County, she never failed to bring Father some outlandish gift, which she insisted was just what he needed. One summer it was a dress shirt with a high round celluloid collar, which Father had to wear to church the Sunday she was there. It took both Mother and Aunt Lizzie to button it around his neck and when he got home he said his head ached and his ears were ringing. He never wore the shirt again. I thought the small stiff straw hat with the narrow brim and the narrow black ribbon looked much better than the big old tattered one Father wore around the farm. Aunt Lizzie bought it at Walker’s Store in Renfrew and she never let Father forget that she had paid a whole 75 cents for it. That didn’t make him like it any better, especially when he saw the identical hat on a woman in the Lutheran Church one Sunday. Well, one summer Aunt Lizzie arrived and as usual the house was in turmoil. She re-arranged the furniture without even an if-you-please to Mother, all of which was promptly moved back where it belonged the minute the train left Renfrew station. Father wasn’t too pleased, but Mother told him to get it over with. There would be no living with his sister until she had her way. So off they went in the Model T on the Saturday. I couldn’t wait to see what Aunt Lizzie had in mind for Father. When they got home, Father was like a thunder

C A N C E R

cloud, changed into his bib overalls and headed for the barn. Aunt Lizzie came in with a shoe box under her arm. She opened it on the kitchen table and there was a pair of men’s shoes the like of which I had never seen before. They were black shiny patent leather, with white leather insets under the laces and the toes were pointed, Aunt Lizzie insisted Father wear them to church the next day, which he did with great reluctance, but the minute he got home, they were exchanged for his well-worn black work boots. Aunt Lizzie said he should wear them all day to break them in. Father put the new shoes back on and headed for the barn to do the Sunday night chores. When he came in for supper, you wouldn’t recognize the new black and white leather shoes. They were covered with manure, grass and mud and you couldn’t tell where the white insets started and the black toes began. Even Father’s socks were ready for the Monday washing! I knew without question Father, who was meticulous about both himself and the barns, had deliberately ruined the shoes. Aunt Lizzie ew into a ďŹ t, grabbed the shoes and went out to the rain barrel with a whisk and a rag. She agreed then they should only be worn to church on Sunday. Her train left before the week was out and she wasn’t around to see if Father was in his new shoes at the Lutheran Church. Like the kimono, the shirt with the celluloid collar and the straw hat, the shoes vanished, never to be seen again on the farm at Northcote.

Outdoor stage show in Richmond coming up on Saturday, June 22 Special to the News

PHIL SWEETNAM

Robert Dueck, far right, at the microphone, announces a song to be sung by the Goulbourn Male Chorus, arranged behind him, at the Stittsville Food Bank’s Appreciation Evening for donors and volunteers at the Bistro Fifty Four restaurant at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club in Stittsville on Monday, May 13.

Goulbourn Male Chorus entertains at Food Bank Appreciation Evening Special to the News

EMC news - The Goulbourn Male Chorus was back at it, singing, on Monday evening, May 13, just 48 hours after its spring concert at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. This time the Male Chorus under director Robert Dueck took its music to the Donators and Volunteer Appreciation Evening held by the Stittsville Food Bank at the Bistro FiftyFour restaurant at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club. The Food Bank held this Appreciation Evening as a way of thanking those who have

helped and supported the Food Bank - help and support which have been essential in allowing the Food Bank to help area families in need. In its performance at this Appreciation Evening, the Goulbourn Male Chorus displayed its traditional four-part harmony vocal musical offerings. Songs included “Brothers, Sing On,” a tune which is becoming something of a signature piece for the Male Chorus, as well as four Canadian folk songs, from both the East and West Coasts – “Hunker Down,” “Away from the Roll of the Sea,” “Song for the Mira” and “Working Man.”

EMC news - The Richmond fairgrounds is be the scene of an outdoor stage show on Saturday, June 22. There’s going to be free ongoing entertainment on an outdoor stage plus other attractions such as a classic car show, an arm wrestling demonstration, the presence of Star Wars Storm Troopers, a magic show and dance demonstrations, all held under the sponsorship of the Richmond Village Association (RVA) in conjunction with and support of the annual chicken barbecue held by the Richmond Volunteer Firefighters that same day at that same location. And what great entertainment there is going to be at this event which will run from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the fairgrounds, rain or shine! The Tycoons play some high energy rock ‘n roll music as well as sleek harmonies and contagious melodies fronted by vocalist Cory M. Coons who is making quite a name independently, releasing a new CD “Here And Now” in late 2012 as well as a new single “Roses Need The Rain” last January. The Cory M. Coons Band will also be performing. Another group to perform

at this Richmond event will be “Second Sight” with members Lee Keeley, Don Cright, Jean Lamirande and Dan Lafleur. The “Richmond Ramblers” 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 United Inmate” will be performing, providing alternative rock music from such artists as Weezer, The Who, Kings of Leon and Neon Trees. The schedule for this stage entertainment is “The United Inmate” at 1 p.m.; Cory M. Coons Band at 2 p.m.; Richmond Ramblers at 3 p.m.; Second Sight at 6:30 p.m.; and Tycoons at 8 p.m. 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 fiction/fantasy environment thanks to their professionalgrade costumes and props. If you enjoy Stars Wars, you will want to be there. There will also be an arm wrestling 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.

Go!

Get back from the gym, pack your kids lunch, then think about yours… Your day is full and one way to make it simpler and healthier is to pack your whole days food to go! Think fruits, veggies, nuts and a layered salad to go! By taking whatever is in your refrigerator and creating an assembly line production, you can make a number of salads at a time and they will stay fresh for the whole week. Let your imagination go wild, grains, beans, sprouts, greens, nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies, dressings, so many possible combinations. Not only do the beans, nuts and seeds add protein, but so do sprouts. In fact, they can contain up to 35% protein. By adding sprouts to your diet you will get the necessary protein intake required by your body minus the fat, cholesterol, and calories that typically come with animal meats. Just grab and go and you are on your way out the door. Then when lunchtime hits you will be able to enjoy this feast for the eyes. Just shake and enjoy!
