Holy Spirit Parish purchasing house

Sacred Heart student wins national honours in Legion competition

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Stittsville is purchasing a house. A four-bedroom home in the Forest Creek community near the church has been purchased, with the closing date at the end of July. After some improvements are made such as interior painting, the move to the house by parish priest Msgr. Joseph Muldoon should take place around the middle of August.

Jeannie and ‘Jake’ Jeannie Cameron of Stittsville shows her Nova Scotia Duck Toller “Jake” in a class at the Ottawa Kennel Club’s dog show which was held at the Richmond fairgrounds last weekend.

A Sacred Heart Catholic High School student is a national winner in the annual Royal Canadian Legion’s Remembrance poster, essay and poetry competition. Lauren Cheslock’s black and white poster won in judging at five different levels in becoming the national winner. Her poster will now be displayed at the Canadian War Museum for the next year, after which it will probably be on permanent display at the Stittsville Legion branch. At a grade seven and eight assembly at Sacred Heart on Monday morning, May 30, where Lauren was honoured for her artistic achievement, her poster image was shown to those at the assembly on the giant screen at the front of the school’s theatre where the assembly was held.

Lauren’s winning poster depicts four soldiers silhouetted in the background, while in the right foreground of the poster there is a griefstricken wrinkled older woman who represents those left behind on the home front. Sacred Heart Catholic High School principal Alex Belloni has called Lauren’s poster “absolutely breathtaking.” Lauren was presented with a plaque and her $1,000 prize by Joel VanSnick, the Zone G5 Commander for the Royal Canadian Legion. He told those at the assembly that Lauren has “great artistic talent” as evidenced by her poster. He explained how Lauren’s poster went through various levels of judging before being declared as the national winner, noting that the judging gets tougher at each higher level.

National winner Con’t from p. 1

The judging starts off at the branch level which in Lauren’s case was the Stittsville Legion branch. This is followed by judging at the zone level, which involved branch-winning entries from the ten different branches in the zone. Winners at the zone level go on to the District level and then those winners go on to the provincial level. There are nine Districts in the province. Winning at the provincial level means that the poster goes on to compete against winners from other provinces. The winner of this national judging is the overall winner which this year is Lauren Cheslock. At each level of judging, winners receive a plaque and a cash prize. Zone G5 Commander VanSnick told those at the assembly that this Remembrance poster, essay and poetry competition organized by the Royal Canadian Legion means a lot to many veterans. Because of Lauren’s win at the national level, both her school, Sacred Heart, and her home Legion branch in Stittsville received recognition as well at this assembly. Sacred Heart

received a plaque while the Stittsville Legion branch received a certificate. Zone G5 Commander VanSnick thanked the school for being an active participant in this Royal Canadian Legion poster, essay and poetry competition while he also thanked the assembled students for

their efforts and involvement, noting that they are the ones who will be leaders in the country in the future. A m o n g those at this presentation to Lauren Cheslock, besides Zone G5 Commander VanSnick, were District G Youth Education Officer Tyrone Seeley; Zone Youth Program Officer Shawn

Taillon; Stittsville Legion first vice-president Sue McCormick; Tina Carnochan, Youth Education Officer for the Stittsville Legion; and Bev Currie, a Stittsville Legion past president. Also in attendance was Steve McCabe who is the superintendent of schools for the Sacred Heart Family of Schools.

It was a warm, sunny, summer-like day in May, a perfect setting for talking about summer jobs. And that is just what Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre did, holding a media event at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners on Tuesday afternoon, May 24 to announce the success of the Carleton riding in attracting funding under the 2016 Canada Summer Jobs program. In his remarks at the event, MP Poilievre noted that the Canada Summer Jobs program was funding 156 summer jobs across the riding, enabling 56,800 hours of work by students. He noted that a number of these jobs and employers are in the Stittsville area including the Goulbourn Museum itself which has hired two students under the program. Other Stittsville area businesses and organizations to receive funding under the 2016 Canada Summer Jobs program include Andrew Fleck Child Care Services, Giant Tiger, Open Roads RV, Clean Cut Lawn and Lot Maintenance, Tracey’s Art Studio, Community Bible Church, Dragonluck Kennels and Chapel Ridge Free Methodist Church. At the Goulbourn Museum, James Riley has been hired as a Collections Assistant thanks to a Canada Summer Jobs grant while Jamie Stirling has been hired as a Museum Assistant through a Young Canada Works grant. MP Poilievre noted that the Ottawa area is a great place to pursue a career in museums as there are many in the area. He said that he hoped that the summer employment funding would allow the two

students hired at the Goulbourn Museum to work hard and learn a lot this summer. He congratulated the Goulbourn Museum for seeking the 2016 Canada Summer Jobs program funding, saying that he personally likes to see non-profit organizations like the Goulbourn Museum receive the funding rather than businesses or government bodies which can generate funding in other ways. James Riley, one of the two students hired this summer by the Goulbourn Museum thanks to the 2016 Canada Summer Jobs program, will be going into his third year in the Applied Museum Studies program at Algonquin College this fall. He is excited about having the opportunity to gain some real life experience working in a Museum, being able to apply the theoretical knowledge that he is learning in school to a work setting. James hopes to become a collection specialist or conservator for a Museum and perhaps someday be a curator. Jamie Stirling, who will be starting her second year in the Museum program at Algonquin College in September, is experiencing her first job in a Museum but she is looking forward to gaining experience in doing a bit of everything at the Goulbourn Museum this summer. She will be working on programs and on collections work, noting that it will help her in determining where she would like to focus in the future. She is considering becoming a collections specialist or an education officer. Among those attending this media event at the Goulbourn Museum on Tuesday, May 24 were Museum Board chair Keith Hobbs and Board members Frank Argue and Karen Weir.

Over $650 raised for Fort McMurray relief John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Over $650 was raised for Fort McMurray relief efforts at a free BBQ at the Shoppes of Fairwinds shopping area on Ha-

zeldean Road at Huntmar Drive in Stittsville at noon on Thursday, May 26. The food and coffee at the event were free but folks were asked to make a donation to help with Fort McMurray relief in lieu of paying for the food and coffee.

The BBQ ran for approximately 90 minutes, beginning at 12 noon. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was one of those who dropped by the BBQ to support the fundraising initiative. The BBQ was hosted by Food Basics, Dollar Tree and The Grounds Café. Food Basics provided the hamburgs and hot dogs while Dollar Tree provided the condiments, plates, cutlery and cups. The Grounds Café served the coffee.

Sacred Heart students attend mini courses at universities business. In the course, he had to develop and present a business plan. Among the other students who took these mini courses were Carter Green, Matthew Stoltz and Hayley Booker. One of the courses dealt with spying including how spying works and the use of codes for messages. It was explained how to determine if a person is lying when being interrogated as it all involves where the person looks when speaking. If the person is right handed, he or she will look to the right when telling the truth. If the person looks to the left when answering, it indicates a lie since the person is trying to create an image for himself about what he is saying. If it is the truth, he already has the image at hand which he or she sees by looking to the right. Another spy technique is to wait until a foe is drunk before trying to get information out of him or her. Hayley Booker took a course which dealt with why it is easier to learn before the age of 12. See STUDENTS, page 29

Learning about sign language, how to create a business and how to be a spy – these were some of topics of week-long mini courses which a group of students from Sacred Heart High School recently attended at local universities. The grade eight students, selected by their teachers to attend these enrichment courses, were at either the University of Ottawa or Carleton University for a week in early May to take the courses. Earlier the students had been given an extensive list of the courses being offered and they indicated their top choices. Based on this input, they were assigned to one of the courses. For Kieran Balon, he was enrolled in a course dealing with some different languages such as Russian as well as sign language. Kieran was able to learn how to communicate some phrases such as “Thank You” via sign language thanks to this course.

Space for more priests Continued from page 1

The existing rectory beside the church is not able to meet the parish’s clergy housing needs as the parish hopes to have a second priest appointed in the near future to serve in the parish. In addition, the parish is looking toward establishment of a youth ministry with the hiring of a youth minister. These factors plus the pro-

jected population growth in Stittsville, with the community growing from its current 31,000 population to 70,000 in the near future, dictated that the parish needed a larger rectory which could house a number of clergy if needed. The existing rectory will be used in the future for office and meeting space as well as storage. This purchase of a house to serve as the parish’s new

rectory is being financed through the Archdiocesan Loan Fund for Parishes. The purchase has been approved by the Finance Committee of Holy Spirit Parish, Archbishop Terrence Prendergast and the Archdiocese’s College of Consultors advisory body. Earlier this year Holy Spirit Parish paid off its mortgage related to construction of the church on Shea Road which opened in 2007.

CANADA DAY ROAD RACES

Notice of Community Consultation NAV CANADA proposes changes to Ottawa flight paths NAV CANADA is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to flight paths for aircraft arriving to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

PRESENTED BY

The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year. Where possible, portions of flight paths have been relocated over less populated areas. Some of the new approach paths will lever new technology – known as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) – that combines satellite-based positioning with modern flight management systems, allowing an aircraft to fly a precise route. This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter and that provide for a continuous descent. Initially, only a small portion of aircraft – less than 25 per cent – will be equipped to fly the new procedure. As part of the proposed redesign, some standard arrival routes are also being updated. No changes are proposed for departure routes.

REGIST E TODAY R !

NAV CANADA has made information – including maps – on proposed flight path changes available online at www.navcanada.ca/YOW. Residents are invited to learn about changes and provide feedback using the comment tool available on the website by June 30, 2016. Residents can also attend one of the following Open House Consultation Events:

OPINION

Connected to your community

Sens and city big winners with Phillips

t was expected. The May 26 retirement of Chris Phillips as an NHL player was a day of celebration in more ways than one. A celebration of what is so rare these days, a professional sports career that started and ended with the same team. A celebration of all that Phillips had accomplished on the ice as a hockey player, and a celebration that Phillips, after just under 20 years as a staple of the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blueline, will be staying with the team in a front office role that involves community programs, alumni relations and business development. That front office role plays to Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strengths not only as a former hockey player but as a man, who along with his wife Erin and his family, has shown over his time in this city that as a member of the community he now calls home, he has always been an all-star. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, as a No. 1 overall NHL draft pick in 1996, Phillips was not the game changer for an organization that some other number ones have been. He was no Sidney Crosby or Mario Lemieux, or Connor McDavid.

He had a long, and productive career for the Ottawa Senators, but you could never call Phillips a superstar on the ice. The Senators did not score a so-called generational top draft pick player such as Crosby has become, when they picked Phillips first overall in the NHL draft. But the Senators did score big with Phillips in getting a special person who has enriched our community through his tireless efforts with charities and other community initiatives that he, and his family, have taken to heart. Phillips has been a community superstar, and at the end of the day, that will always be more important than how many points a player gets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is a happy day,â&#x20AC;? Phillips, who goes down in team history as having played more games for the organization than anyone else, said at his retirement press conference. Indeed, despite all the well-deserved accolades that have been coming Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way, perhaps the best news is that Phillips and his family now call Ottawa their home and they will continue to enrich our community for years to come. And, for the City of Ottawa, that is as big a win as you can get on or off the ice.

Laser awareness may not be good enough

eople do behave badly and preventing them from doing so is one of the things we expect government to do. So it was with a certain amount of interest that we anticipated Transport Minister Marc Garneauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to a growing misuse of laser pointers. While laser pointers have many positive uses, aiming them at airplanes is not one of them. An increasing number of people have been doing that. In the U.S. there were more than 5,000 laser incidents reported last year, up about 1,000 from the year before. In Canada, there were 600 incidents and there have been 148 incidents so far this year. Some laser pointers can shoot beams as far as eight kilometres. When someone on the ground aims a high-powered laser at an airplane, the pilot can be temporar-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town ily blinded and disoriented, with potentially disastrous consequences for him and his passengers. The head of the Air Canada Pilots Association, wants laser pointers to be listed as banned weapons that could be seized by border agents and police. The British Airline Pilots association demanded that laser pointers be classified as offensive weapons after a Virgin Atlantic flight was forced to turn back after it was struck by a beam outside Heathrow Airport in March. So, what did Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transport

minister do? He said the RCMP and local police will step up enforcement. He said offenders will face up to $900,000 in fines, five years in prison, or both. That was good. But mostly he announced an awareness campaign. It will make use of social media to tell people that pointing lasers at airplanes is bad. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hashtag and everything. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a YouTube video too. Will that really do it, do you think? The former Conservative government tried something similar a year or two ago. Obviously, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, so there should be some incentive to go further.

on the legalization of marijuana, criticized the number of marijuana dispensaries that are popping up in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big cities. They were reckless and illegal, he said. But he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say if the feds were going to do anything about them. Cities are trying to handle the problem through municipal licensing department. Perhaps the feds could shame them on Twitter? Returning to lasers, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it make sense to stop these things from being sold and distributed? Even those who celebrate the positive uses of lasers say that there is no justification for laser pointers beyond a certain power. It is already illegal to point a laser at an aircraft, so it is not as if there is no precedent for acting. The government could draw a line, referencing the power of a laser, beyond which it would be illegal to sell or own. That might be more effective than hashtags and YouTube videos.

After his announcement, the transport minister was asked about the possibility of such action. According to the CBC, he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will evaluate whether our attempt to re-educate Canadians is successful.â&#x20AC;? The evidence upon which the evaluation is based will be in the sky, near Canadian airports.

Anniversary concert of OCSB choir at Sacred Heart John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It’s being called “Celebrate!” and with good reason. This year’s annual spring concert featuring the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s children’s choirs is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the inaugural choir back in 1991. And so there’s lots to celebrate, especially since the choir has been directed over the ensuing years by the same person, namely founder MaryAnn Dunn. Indeed, this will be the last OCSB choir performance directed by MaryAnn as she is retiring at the end of June, ending both her teaching career and her choir involvement. This spring concert is being held this Saturday, June 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sacred Heart High School theatre in Stittsville. Everyone is invited to attend, whether you have heard to choir before or whether this would be a firsttime experience. Whatever the case, it will be a musical evening that you will find memorable and unforgettable. Tickets, available at the door, will be $15 per person. Founded in 1991 by MaryAnn

Dunn with 54 student singers involved, the OCSB Choir has since expanded into four different choral groups: the Children’s Choir, Boys’ Choir (started in 2004), the Chamber Choir (launched in 1998 so that senior choir members could continue singing) and the Young Voices Choir, a training group (started in 2000). There are now over 150 students in total from more than 40 Board schools involved with these choirs. Nine of the 116 students in the Children’s Boys’ and Chamber Choirs attend Stittsville schools. Choir members, who audition, are selected based on their natural talent and their joy of singing, regardless of experience. Many students sing with these choirs from grade four through grade 12 when they graduate from the OCSB. This results in lasting friendships as the students attend practice each week, attend a choir camp retreat each fall and perform at more than a dozen events each school year. It is expected that many alumni of the OCSB Choir will attend the 25th anniversary celebration this coming Saturday, June 4.

MaryAnn Dunn has directed the Children’s Choir for all of its 25 year existence. The Boys’ Choir is directed by her son, Tony

Dunn, who is an OCSB teacher. The Chamber Choir is co-directed by Jamie Loback and Carla MacGregor while the Young

Voices Choir is directed by Patricia Kaiser. See OCSB CHOIR, page 10

OCSB choir director MaryAnn Dunn retiring at end of June Continued from page 9

The OCSB Choir, one of the few school board choirs in Ontario, was founded with the goal of providing an opportunity for musically talented students in the Board to sing in a high-level group. The choirs are auditioned choirs with an emphasis on performance. In addition to annual Christmas and spring concerts, the choirs have received over the years invitations to perform in various venues such as the National Arts Centre, the National Gallery, the House of Commons, the National Library, the National War Museum, the National Military Cemetery and many area churches. The choirs have also been involved with fundraisers throughout the city including

Dr. Corrine Motluk

Dr. Alan Franzmann

those in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Shepherds of Good Hope, the Terry Fox Foundation and more. The Children’s Choir sang at the National Citizenship Ceremony for Nelson Mandela at the Museum of Civilization, at the 80th birthday party for Alex Colville at the National Gallery of Canada and at the 50th anniversary of the United Nations at Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean as well as at citizenship ceremonies at the Supreme Court of Canada and at the Board’s annual Education Week mass. The choirs have travelled to festivals in Niagara Falls, Kingston, Moncton and Montreal. In 2015, the Children’s Choir sang for World Education International’s

7th Congress and the choir also sang at the closing ceremony of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission at Rideau Hall. The Children’s Choir has competed successfully at the annual Kiwanis Music Festival over the years. The Children’s Choir has sung in over a dozen languages over the years, performing a variety of music from classical to contemporary, folk to sacred. The choir has produced CD’s including “Light of the World” and “Shine.” It has also performed several songs especially commissioned for it including “You Are The Light of the World” by Michel Guimont and “Our Father,” “The Candle,” “Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor” and “When the Ice Worms Nest Again,” all by Tony Dunn. And all of this has happened because of the initiative and continued involvement of founder and director MaryAnn Dunn who is retiring at the end of June. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario and Althouse College, she

has been a teacher at all levels – secondary English, Dram and Physical Education as well as elementary Itinerant Music and Kindergarten. Her most extensive work has been in choral music. She has conducted children’s choirs since 1978, directing parish and school choirs and eventually founding the Children’s Choir for the then-Carleton Catholic School Board in 1991. For ten years, MaryAnn organized and directed the Board’s annual choral celebration which annually involved hundreds of students from various Board schools. She received the Director of Education Commendation Award in 1995. Always well loved by the choir members, MaryAnn has been grateful for the many parent volunteers with whom she has worked over the years and who have provided such support for the choirs. She has also loved over the years meeting and sharing music with so many talented, dedicated, creative and amazing young singers.

Stittsville Lions donate $1,000 to Kemptville Lions’ vision care program John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Stittsville District Lions Club supports the efforts of the Kemptville Lions Club in providing vision care in countries like Guyana on the north coast of South America. It does this by collecting used eye glasses in the community and passing them on to the Kemptville Club. It also does this with a $1,000 donation which it has been making annually to the Kemptville Club to support the program. The Stittsville District Lions Club presented a $1,000 donation to Kemptville Lion Robert Sentner for this vision care program at its meeting at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street on Wednesday evening, May 25. The presentation of the donation followed a photo show by Lion Sentner which

showed scenes from the Kemptville Lions Club’s recent trip to Guyana to check eyes and provide prescription glasses to those with vision problems. The Kemptville Lions Club organizes one of these trips a year. While it was to Guyana this year, the Club’s previous annual trips have included destinations such as Belize, Trinidad and Grenada. For these trips, which usually last a week, all of the participants pay their own expenses. This most recent trip to Guyana involved a team of medical personnel and volunteers including eye doctors from places such as London, Toronto, Strathroy, Edmonton and Ottawa. The Kemptville Lions Club has a number of such doctors and volunteers on which it can call to serve on one of these vision care trips. Who goes depends on who is available at the time to go.

This year’s trip to Guyana saw the medical team travel to the town of Bartica on the Essequibo River. At Bartica, the medical team was hosted by the Bartica Lions Club who prepared the premises where the vision clinic was held and who distributed tickets that allowed people to attend the clinic. In these clinics, the medical team sees 100 patients in the morning and 100 patients in the afternoon. Usually people are lined up in the early morning, waiting to be seen by the medical vision team. For this clinic in Bartica, the visiting medical team stayed an extra half day. In total, 1,110 people were seen over the course of the five and a half day clinic. A total of 863 pairs of glasses were dispensed and another 30 pairs of glasses are being shipped to Bartica as the medical team did not have the appropriate glasses with them to accommodate those needing these 30 pairs of glasses. At the clinic, various stations are set up in which eyes are checked and tested, prescriptions for glasses are provided and the glasses themselves are provided from a supply of 3,000 to 4,000 pairs of glasses which the medical team has taken along with them.

Lions’ bottle drive to battle diabetes

These pairs of glasses have been donated to the Kemptville Lions Club by other Lions Clubs in the area such as the Stittsville District Lions Club. The used glasses are donated at various outlets around the community. “It’s hard to believe you can help that many people that much in one week,” Kemptville Lion Sentner told the Stittsville District Lions Club at the meeting, as getting eye glasses impacts the quality of life for the recipient. It might be a case of the person being able to sew again or to read the Bible again. To be able to influence that number of people (over 1,100) in such a short period of time (one week) was noted by Lion Sentner who also said that he had been going on such vision care trips for about ten years now. He said that once a person has experienced such a trip once, it is difficult to step away from continued involvement.

Special to the News

Start collecting those empties to help fight diabetes and help those who are suffering from the disease. You will be able to drop off the beer, wine, cooler bottles and cans that you have collected this Friday, June 3 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and this Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the parking lot at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. All of the proceeds raised in this “Case for a Cure” bottle drive will be donated by the Stittsville District Lions Club to help in the fight against diabetes and to support Camp Banting. Camp Banting is a camp which serves children with diabetes. In the early 1980’s, Camp Banting came under the guidance of the Canadian DiabeJOHN CURRY/METROLAND tes Association. Camp Banting is currently located Stittsville District Lions Club member Ed Verbiwski, left, and Club president Don Redtman, at Scouts Canada’s Camp Opemikon near Perth. right, present a giant cheque representing a donation of $1,000 to the Kemptville Lions About half of the costs of attending this camp are Club’s vision care program to Kemptville Lions Club member Robert Sentner, centre. subsidized by the Canadian Diabetes Association.

St. Thomas Church entering team in Arthritis Walk Special to the News at 9:30 a.m. Two walking options will be Over four and a half million Canadians suffer with arthritis. And you can do something to help them by participating in a “Walk to Fight Arthritis” that is take place at the Alumni Park at Carleton University this coming Sunday, June 5. St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville is entering a team in this “Walk to Fight Arthritis” and participants for the team are most welcome. This can be anyone of any age, young or not so young. Even dogs are welcome. And if you do not want to actually walk in this “Walk to Fight Arthritis,” you can still help out either by raising funds to donate to the cause or just showing up at the walk and cheering the walkers on. Registration for the walk will open at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 5 at Carleton University, with the walk getting underway

provided: a one kilometer route and a five kilometer route. Funds raised by the “Walk to Fight Arthritis” will go to help find a cure for arthritis, to fund education programs and to spread awareness of the disease. Similar walks are being held across Canada. Anyone interested in helping in any way with the involvement of St. Thomas Anglican Church and its team in this local “Walk to Fight Arthritis” should contact Michelle Harding at 613-457-5068 or via email at michellevharding@gmail.com. Researchers indicate that it may be possible that within ten years, Canadians living with arthritis may be able to live pain free. But this will only happen if funding is there to allow the research to continue. This “Walk to Fight Arthritis” is raising funds to ensure that this happens.

And while the two sets were different ball games, as it were, the result was the same as, putting it in baseball terms, the performers knocked it out of the park both times. The music evening began with Bruce Wozny singing an array of his original compositions, accompanying his vocals with the guitar and at times with a harmonica which he wore around his neck. Some were upbeat tunes; some were less robust; but all were story songs.

The Wellington Trio performs number of classic tunes Continued from page 17

But the trio performed a number of classic tunes which are considered standards these days. There was “Call Me,” a 1965 tune composed by English songwriter/composter Tony Hatch for singer Petula Clark which is an example of a pop tune that has become a standard over time. And then there was “Stardust,” a 1927 song by American composer Hoagy Carmichael that many consider the best song ever written. Indeed, it is one of the most recorded songs of all time. The trio also played “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square,” a 1939 British song with lyrics by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin which has become a standard over the years. There was also a song from the songbook of American jazz band leader Duke Ellington as well as the tune “Dancing on the Ceiling,” a 1930 song composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart for the 1930 musical “Ever Green” in which two actors danced around a huge chandelier that was standing up from the floor, simulating a ceiling. The tune became the signature song for the musical’s leading actress Jessie Matthews. “Ever Green” is remembered for being the musical which used London’s first revolving stage. And, most appropriately perhaps, The Wellington Trio wrapped up its set at this Friday music evening with “Thanks for the Memories,” the 1938 song which became the signature song for American comedian Bob Hope. The song, which Bob Hope sang in the film “The Big Broadcast of 1938,” won an Academy Award for Best Original Song. In his remarks during the first set, Bruce Wozny pointed out that a number of new things had happened to him during the past year. He has turned 60 years of age, he now has a web page, he now performs at times as part of The Wellington Trio and he has a new CD “Songs From The Middle” released. In addition to this new CD, Bruce also has recorded three albums of his original music: “Pretending To Be Human” which is a collection of spiritual

songs recorded in collaboration with Bruce Frodsham (aka Michael Manning); “Boy of the Town,” a musical examination of small town life; and “Sleeping Dogs” which looks at hidden feelings which suddenly surface. Besides performing with The Wel-

lington Trio, Bruce is also performing these days with the originals country rock band Lost Colt and with the Celtic-based instrumental group The Rose Trio. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre

(Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. Donations to help the performers with their expenses are encouraged.

Forty years as a farm enterprise, first as a pick-your-own strawberry operation and then as a major visitor attraction with the worlds’ largest collection of hedge mazes and more. Awesome. Approaching 25 years as a Halloween destination, with a Haunting Season that grows with each passing year. Scary. And now launching its new 2016 season by partnering with the CHEO Telethon to help raise funds for the children’s hospital. Priceless. But this is what has and is happening at Saunders Farm at Munster which is opening its 2016 season this Saturday, June 4 by partnering with the CHEO Telethon. All admission revenue from this opening day at Saunders Farm will be donated to CHEO. There will also be radio and TV personalities on site during the day which will begin when the gates open at 10 a.m. The Farm’s hedge mazes, which comprise the world’s largest collection of such mazes, will be open and available for touring. There will be wagon rides and puppet shows. In addition, the Farm’s splash pad will be in operation. There will also be lots to eat - good healthy, nutritious farm fresh food prepared right in the Farm’s own kitchen on the site. This is a big year for Saunders Farm as it marks the 40th year since Bill and Anne Saunders and their young family moved onto the century old, 100 acre farm that is now known far and wide as Saunders Farm. It first rose to prominence as one of the area’s original pick-your-own strawberry farms which at its peak saw 25 acres of strawberries under cultivation. Eventually the strawberry production was cut back with other initiatives undertaken. In 1980, the first trees were planted on what was then a flat, treeless landscape. And in the ensuing years, over 200,000 trees have been planted on the property. In 1991, Bill Saunders developed a new vision for the Farm, namely developing a Halloween farm attraction that would lure visitors to the site to enjoy and see the farm’s growing beauty.

Extensive renovation of the farm’s historic log buildings began and in Oct. 1992, the Saunders Farm’s Haunting Season was born, albeit with only a four-scene haunted hayride and a four-scene haunted house. Son Mark Saunders returned to help out at the Farm and annual additions and improvements were made for the Haunting Season and the Farm’s other attractions. In 1999, the Farm started hosting corporate retreats and picnics. In 2002, a new season was inaugurated at the Farm with the opening of the Summer Mazes. Saunders Farm now has the largest collection of hedge mazes in the world. About ten years ago, Saunders Farm reopened its hosting facilities for weddings facilities while two years ago, the pavilion building on the Farm was renovated. A fully functional industrial kitchen was opened to manage all on-site catering and food production. Last year the Farm launched its Farm Fresh Dinners initiative, offering farm fresh, nutritious food prepared on site. Saunders Farm has over the years welcomed a total of more than one million visitors. Each year now, nearly 60,000 visitors are welcomed at Saunders Farm. This includes group, school and company outings as well as individual family visits. Saunders Farm has employed hundreds of staff over the years, with many high school students obtaining their first job at the Farm. The Saunders family has been invited to speak at dozens of conferences in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, telling about the success of their agri-business to help others interested in creating such a farm-based visitor destination. Saunders Farm has been honoured with a number of awards over the years. It received the 2002 Tourism Innovation Award from the Ottawa Tourism and Convention Authority. That same year, it received the International Farm Marketer of the Year Award from the North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association, becoming the first Canadian farm to receive this award.

Pedestrian crossovers are new to Ottawa Pedestrian crossovers are road crossings being installed on streets with low and medium traffic and at many single-lane roundabouts. They are new in Ottawa and they are marked with unique signage and pavement markings. In some cases, but not always, they may also have pedestrian-activated flashing beacons. You may have already noticed some in your neighbourhood, covered with bags until the program officially begins later in June. The City will install up to 60 pedestrian crossovers each year for the next three years. In the coming weeks, you’ll begin to see work on one being installed on Manotick Main Street at Tighe Street. It is the responsibility of both drivers and pedestrians to understand and follow the rules at pedestrian crossovers. Drivers and cyclists riding with traffic •

Watch for and prepare to stop at pedestrian crossovers.

•

Wait until the pedestrian has completely crossed the road before proceeding.

•

Once pedestrians have cleared the entire roadway, drivers may proceed with caution.

•

Note also that vehicles must not pass any other vehicle within 30 metres before a pedestrian crossover.

Harmonic Generation concerts featuring Beatles, Sting music John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

If you like The Beatles music or songs written by Sting, you should attend the two concerts being presented by the a cappella group Harmonic Generation at St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts in Ottawa this coming weekend. And you will not only hear great music associated with The Beatles and Sting but you will get to enjoy the music in a cabaret-style venue rather than the typical theatre setting for such concerts. Harmonic Generation music director and concert organizer Paul Jay of Stittsville explains that since part of the appeal of a cappella singing is the intimacy of the voices-only performance, having a cabaret format enables the audience to feel closer to the singers, sharing in the fun that the singers have doing the songs. The concert this Saturday, June 4 at 7 p.m. will

concentrate on selections from the repertoire of The Beatles while it will be songs written by Sting that will be the focus of the concert this Sunday, June 5 at 3 p.m. Harmonic Generation singer and vocal arranger Janet Lo notes that the group’s repertoire represents tunes that the members enjoy singing. Often these are tunes that are familiar to those in the audience but in many cases the group creates its own vocal arrangements that results in a new sound that fits the voices of the group. Members of the 14-voice Harmonic Generation group are all auditioned singers with some musical training and music reading ability, ranging in age from late teens up to 60 plus. Paul Jay and his wife Susan Mayo both sing in the group. In addition to the music of The Beatles and Sting which will be performed at the concerts, Harmonic Generation will also be

including songs by other contemporary artists such as Michael Jackson, Coldplay, Abba, Daft Punk and others. They will be concerts that appeal to a broad range of listeners of all ages. For these two concerts, Harmonic Generation will be sharing proceeds with the ORKIDSTRA initiative that brings music participation to inner city youngsters in Ottawa by providing them with instruments and coaching them in performing music. These two Harmonic Generation cabaret-style concerts featuring the music of The Beatles and then Sting will be held on Saturday, June 4 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 5 at 3 p.m. in the Kidare Room at St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts on St. Patrick Street in the Byward Market area of Ottawa. Food and refreshments will be available to audience members. Details about tickets are available at www.harmonicgeneration.com .

Students at university mini courses Continued from page 6

This has particular application to learning a second language. The students all indicate that they would willingly attend such courses again. Among courses that they would like are a chemistry course, a forensics course, a photography course, a sports science course, a math or physics course and a course with more focus on how the brain works. The courses ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a lunch break. The students worked in teams of two in the courses, with each

course comprised not only of lecture time but also an activity time. The students had a lot of fun attending these mini-courses at the universities and found that the time went by quicker than expected. The only downside was that the students had to catch up on their regular school work which they had missed when attending these week-long mini-courses. But although attending the mini-courses made their lives a little busier, they still felt that the mini-courses were well worth attending.

Goulbourn Museum is part of Doors Open Ottawa Continued from page 23

These include an exhibit about the streets in the area, a new exhibit about the contribution of the Red Cross, Nursing Sisters and veterinarians in the First World War, an exhibit about the settlement of Goulbourn by disbanded soldiers of the 100th Regiment and a village store exhibit. It is expected that the Duke of Richmond, after whom the village of Richmond is named, will be on hand in full uniform at the Museum on Saturday, June 4 and perhaps again on Sunday, June 5. There will be spinning and weaving demonstrations as well. The Goulbourn Museum is located on

Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. Stittsville Main Street becomes Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners. There is no charge to visit the Goulbourn Museum or the Stittsville fire station during Doors Open Ottawa. Doors Open Ottawa is meant as an opportunity to celebrate Ottawa’s built heritage. Doors Open Ottawa is the second largest Doors Open architectural event in North America. Since its inception in 2002, over 850,000 visitors have discovered some of the city’s most interesting buildings on these Doors Open Ottawa days.

Duo sings favourites,wartime songs and more at Friendship Club luncheon John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The singing duo of Charles Gregoire and his wife Heidi Brault know their audience. The pair, who perform at senior residences and groups, performed a selection of long time favourites, World War songs, and tunes from the 1950’s and 1960’s when they entertained at the monthly luncheon of the Friendship Club at the Stittsville Legion Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday, May 25. And you had to think that one of the songs had a special significance for Charles and Heidi, namely “Bicycle Built For Two,” a song which goes back to 1892. That’s because Charles and Heidi have been avid tandem cyclists since the fall of 2013. And since then, they have done several long distance trips on their tandem bicycle including one to Perth and another to Magog, QC. And this July the pair are embarking on a tandem cycling journey from Kanata to Fredericton, NB. It is being planned as a fundraising venture, raising funds for The Willowtree Community Inc., a group which wants to start a new chapter of L’Arche Canada in Fredericton and also for Refugee Aid Canada, a refugee sponsorship group in the Kanata/Stittsville area. L’Arche Canada provides housing and activities for adults with intellectual disabilities who cannot live independently.

in the medley included the 1912 favourite “(On) Moonlight Bay” with its wellknown lyrics “We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay,” and the 1918 stammering song “K-K-K-Katy.” There were other wartime-era songs, both from the First World War and the Second World War, including “Keep the Home Fires Burning (Till the Boys Come Home),” a 1914 British patriotic song from World War One, and “We’ll Meet Again,” a 1939 song associated with singer Vera Lynn which is one of the most famous of World War Two songs. Charles and Heidi performed two iconic folk songs, one that you hear frequently and one that you do not hear performed all that often but which you wish that you heard more. “This Land is Your Land,” the folk song written by American Woody Guthrie in 1940, has become one of the most famous and frequently performed folk songs. Charles and Heidi sang the Canadian version which references Canadian rather than American geography and was popularized by the Canadian folk group The Travellers in 1955. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND But Charles and Heidi also sang “Bud Heidi Brault, left, and Charles Gregoire, right, wearing a Tilley hat with a yellow smiley face the Spud,” a 1969 Stompin’ Tom Connors on it, sing together as they entertain at the Friendship Club’s luncheon at the Stittsville song about a trucker hauling potatoes Legion Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday, May 25. from Prince Edward Island. It’s Canadian musical lore at its best and should be heard more often in performances. The song “Bicycle Built For Two” was and Heidi included in their program at the See PAIR FINISH, page 31 part of a four-song medley which Charles Friendship Club luncheon. Other songs

Other songs sung by Charles and Heidi in this performance at the Friendship Club included “Cabaret,” the title song from the 1966 Broadway musical of the same name; “Try A Little Kindness,” a 1969 song by Glen Campbell; “Down on the corner,” a Creedence Clearwater Revival song from 1969; the 1951 Hank Williams song “Hey, Good Lookin’,” which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001; “Did She Mention My Name,” a 1968 song by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot; “Quando, Quando, Quando,” a 1962 Italian pop song in the bossa nova style;

“Love Me With All of Your Heart,” a 1964 hit by The Ray Charles Singers, a group that was featured on Perry Como records and TV shows for 35 years; “(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear,” a 1957 hit for Elvis Presley; and “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,” a traditional Scottish folk song. The pair finished up their performance with “May The Good Lord Bless and Keep You,” a 1950 song by American country singer Eddy Arnold which is now considered a standard.

For the performance, Charles wore a Tilley hat, the iconic Canadian-made hat with a wide brim, which he adorned as well with a yellow smiley face, perhaps reflective of the smiley faces that prevailed throughout the Friendship Club audience during the performance by Charles and Heidi.. Charles played the guitar as well as sang during the performance. He also told a couple of jokes during the course of the performance. Heidi sang with him, something that

A A weekly weekly guide guide in in legal legal matters matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

“I recently learned that my elderly Aunt is a victim of Fraud. The police have advised me that some victims of the fraud are considering a lawsuit and that someone may wish to speak to a lawyer on my Aunt’s behalf. My Aunt suffers from dementia and I hold Power of Attorney. Can my Aunt participate in a lawsuit?” Special rules apply to lawsuits involving people, like your aunt, who suffer from a mental illness and therefore lack capacity at law. Generally, children under the age of 18 and people who suffer from mental illness, including those who suffer from dementia, must be represented by a litigation guardian within legal proceedings. There are also special rules which apply to how limitation periods apply to persons who lack capacity at law. Litigation Guardians assume responsibility for litigation on behalf of a litigant who lacks capacity. Litigation Guardians serve an important role and are saddled with significant responsibilities. They assume the responsibilities of retaining and instructing lawyers on behalf of the incapable litigant,

and litigation guardians assume personal responsibility for any costs liability incurred as a result of a lawsuit. However the litigation guardian plays an essential role in ensuring access to justice for some of society’s most vulnerable people. Without people agreeing to stand as a Litigation Guardian, people who suffer losses could be left without recourse to the courts. Generally a lawyer works very closely with a litigation guardian to ensure that risks are properly understood. Lawyers also put in place measures to ensure the risk of personal exposure to the guardian is minimized. If you are asked to stand as a litigation guardian you should consult with a lawyer before deciding whether or not to stand.

The Storm grabbed the championship and a trip to the upcoming OFSAA provincial tournament with an 8-4 victory over the Mother Teresa High School Titans at the Minto Field at the Nepean Sportsplex on Thursday, May 26. In this championship game, the Storm had built up a 7-2 lead with just nine minutes left in the game. Mother Te-

resa then rallied for two goals to make it 7-4 with six minutes to go in the game but this was as close at the Titans got as the Storm added another goal to go on to win by an 8-4 score. As the final whistle sounded, SC players swarmed onto the field, leaving a trail of discarded sticks, helmets and gloves lying on the field in their wake as they assembled together to celebrate the victory. The players on the two teams then lined up to shake hands with each other before lining up on the field to receive their medals from their coaches. It was at this time that it was announced that not only would South Carleton be going to the OFSAA provincial tournament as the NCSSAA champions but that the Moth-

er Teresa squad would be going as well as the NCSSAA was being allowed to send a second team to the competition this year. This announcement was met by applause from players on both teams. This was followed by the presentation of the championship trophy to the South Carleton team captains, after which the SCHS Storm players huddled together, holding the trophy in the air. They then assembled for a celebratory team photograph with the trophy. The SCHS players lingered on the field after

this, with teammates taking selfies and other photos as memorabilia of this championship victory. This victory in the championship game was the ninth straight win for the SCHS Storm this season. The SC Storm completed the regular season with a perfect record of eight wins and no losses and then added a ninth win in this championship game against the Mother Teresa High School Titans. During the regular season, the SCHS Storm had defeated Mother Teresa by an 8-3 score. It was 8-4

for the SCHS Storm in the championship game. The SCHS Storm had finished atop the nine-team high school lacrosse (OFSAA) league with eight wins and no losses. Mother Teresa Titans had finished in second place with seven wins and only one loss, the 8-3 loss to South Carleton. In the regular season, the SC Storm scored 65 goals while allowing only 16 goals. Both of these stats were the best in the league. Mother Teresa High School had defeated St. Francis Xavier High School 6-5 in the semi-final playoff

game to advance to the championship final game against South Carleton. St. Francis Xavier had finished in third place in the regular season, four points behind the second place Mother Teresa squad. Players on this year’s championship South Carleton High School Storm lacrosse team are Josh Arts, Brad Cowan, Jared Downey, Shayne Driscoll, Andrew Foster, Nathan Grenon, Alex Johnston, Adam Johnston, Tyler Kantor, Aiden Kreuger, Ward Loveday, Alex McLaughlin, Brody McPhee, Cameron Millar, Christian Moore, Josh Muldoon, Dillan Parry, Cory Piepers, Tommy Roos, Josh Rukavina, Hudson Saunders, Own Sloan, Riley Sloan, Noah Stanford, Justin Tkachuk, Nathan Woods and Grant Yeo. Coaches of the SCHS team are Brett Lyle and Nathalie Sloan.

New high school in Stittsville is Board’s top capital priority John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

A new high school in Stittsville is now the top capital priority of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously at its meeting on May 24 to put the proposed $36.1 million 1,353 pupil place high school at the top of its capital priorities list. Now it’s a matter of presenting a persuasive business case to the provincial government to obtain the funding needed for the new high school. And indeed it was building this business case and lobbying provincial politicians for the project that got attention from two public delegations which appeared before the trustees at the meeting. Jennifer Smith, who is heading a community effort to get funding for this new public high school in Stittsville, wants to see the board trustees and staff work with the community on building the business case for the new school. “Will you work with us to build this business case,” she asked the trustees in her presentation. She said that the student num-

bers regarding the new school do not reflect the reality of the situation in which students are leaving the public system for the Catholic system due to the presence of Sacred Heart High School in the Stittsville community. She said that the business case should tell the impact of this reality, a story that student numbers do not tell. Ms. Smith outlined that there is a need to approach the Minister of Education with this story as well as local MPP’s such as Lisa MacLeod and Yasir Naqvi, with such approaches including not only community representatives but also area trustee Lynn Scott and the Board chair. This same sentiment was echoed by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri in his delegation presentation to the Board of Trustees at the meeting. While thanking the trustees for ranking the new Stittsville high school as the number one capital priority for the Board, he said that more needed to be done to bring the project to reality. He urged the Board to show support for its number one capital funding priority by participating in face to face meetings with the Min-

ister of Education and MPP’s. He said that meetings are being planned with the Minister of Education, the Ottawa area Liberal MPP caucus and local MPP’s and he said that the Board chair and area trustee both need to be at these meetings to reiterate why the Board has made the new Stittsville high school its number one capital funding priority. Area trustee Lynn Scott indicated that she would attend such meetings and indeed urged the trustees and Board to put a huge amount of effort into advocating for this new Stittsville high school. “We really need and want this school,” she said just before the unanimous trustee vote in favour of the capital funding priority list which ranked the new Stittsville high school as the top priority. Later in the meeting, Board chair Shirley Seward expressed her view that advocating for the new Stittsville public high school should focus on arguing that parents in Stittsville deserve a choice in schooling which is why the province funds four different school boards. But chair Seward noted that in Stittsville, such choice in schooling is limited as students must either travel long distances to

attend South Carleton High School in Richmond or switch to another school board’s school in the community. “I think we have a pretty good case,” she said about the proposed Stittsville public high school. She had indicated earlier in the meeting that she would attend any meetings with the Minister or MPP’s along with area trustee Scott. And trustee Donna Blackburn urged her fellow trustees to think outside the box and not leave lobbying MPP’s for the new Stittsville public high school just to the chair and the area trustee but for all trustees to use their relationships with MPP’s to advocate for the new Stittsville high school. She offered to attend any meetings involved with lobbying MPP’s. And student trustee Kayvon Mihan suggested that student voice be included in any lobbying efforts. He said that the Ministry of Education needs to hear the impact on students having to travel back and forth to South Carleton in Richmond rather than attending a high school in their own community. He wants to see students voice such anecdotal stories in lobbying for the new school. The Board’s Director of Educa-

tion Dr. Jennifer Adams committed to taking a look at how this could happen. The trustees did hear a presentation from Michael Bailey who works for Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren who read out a letter that MPP MacLaren has sent to the Minister of Education urging provincial government funding for the new Stittsville public high school. The letter points out that the new Stittsville high school is the Board’s top capital funding priority. Mr. Bailey said that he would expect that MPP MacLaren would work with his MPP colleagues in advocating for the funding for the new school. It was explained by Board staff at the meeting that the business case presented by the Board to the Ministry for the new Stittsville high school must follow a template set up by the Ministry which deals with factual information related to the project with very little “wiggle room” for additional information. The Board, though, does include supplemental information with such business cases in order to tell the unique story of each proposal. See FUNDING, page 38

Funding for new high school will be sought from province Continued from page 37

While the Board has now set its capital funding priorities, the Ministry has not yet set any date for the submission of business cases related to these priorities. The Board’s chief financial officer Mike Carson did say at the meeting that if the Board did receive funding approval from the province for the Stittsville high school this fall, then it would probably take two and a half to three years for the Board to finalize a site, initiate a school design and construct the facility. There was some concern expressed at the meeting that any business case submitted for this new high school in Stittsville would include a reference to the future need for a new high school in the Riverside South community, serving students in both Riverside South and portions of Barrhaven. This would include an accommodation review affecting Stittsville and the southern area of Ottawa, dealing with South Carleton High School, South Nepean and Riverside South. Such an accommodation review would probably not take place until at least 2019. But trustee Mark Fisher, who represents much of the southern area of the city, put this accommodation review in perspective, assuring those at the meeting that the number one capital priority of the trustees is a new high school in Stittsville. But he noted that a new high school in Stittsville is going to create a ripple affect across the whole southern area of the city, with some shifting of students happening as soon as the new Stittsville high school opens. He said that the planned accommodation review will provide the Board with an opportunity to rationalize such changes. Everyone agrees Stittsville is the number one capital priority, he reiterated. CFO Carson also made a similar observation, saying that one of the challenges which the Board faces with the decision to build a new high school in Stittsville is the huge impact that it will have on the student population of South Carleton High School which draws students from the southern part of the city. This is why an accommodation review for the area will be necessary. Area trustee Lynn Scott said after the meeting that such an accommodation review will be important for the future of South Carleton High School. She said that concerns have been raised with regard to the school’s future with the construction of a new high school in Stittsville but she added that the Board still has to serve

the accommodation needs of rural students in the southern areas of the city such as Burritt’s Rapids. She said that there will be a full consultation with the South Carleton community to determine the future course for South Carleton High School. She suggested that South Carleton might become a grade 7 to 12 school but added that a grade seven and eight component would not add to the school’s high school student numbers which determine the courses which the school can offer its students. At the meeting, the delegations pointed out that a new public high school in Stittsville had been on the Board’s capital priority list since 2006, moving up and down on the list. Last year it was ranked second on the list but it was passed over, with other projects getting provincial funding. It was pointed out that Stittsville is a fast growing community with a current population of 31,000 that is expected to grow to 50,000 within five years and ultimately to 75,000. Stittsville public high school students now travel by school bus to South Carleton High School in Richmond, spending up to one and a half to two hours on the bus every day. A survey last year with 1,800

responses indicated that up to 60 percent of families in Stittsville would switch a child to the Catholic board’s Sacred Heart High School in the Stittsville community rather than have the student have to travel to attend South Carleton High School in Richmond. A prolonged burst of applause by many in the board’s meeting room followed Jennifer Smith’s presentation, even though such outbursts of applause are not allowed by Board rules. Councillor Qadri, in his presentation following that of Ms. Smith, commented that this outburst of clapping was an indication of the passion which exists in the community on this issue of a new public high school in Stittsville. Councillor Qadri said that the Board recognized the population growth in Stittsville when it opened the new Westwind Public School in 2011. He said that the population growth continues and yet high school students have to travel out of the community for high school. Other projects on the Board’s capital funding priority list are a new $6.4 million 12-room addition to A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Kanata, a $2.425 million fiveroom addition to Viscount Alexander Public School and a $4 million seven-room addition to Elmdale Public School.

Stittsville is one of Ottawa’s fastest growing neighbourhoods for young families and youth and a new high school is needed in this area. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has already listed Stittsville as its top priority for funding a new school. I support Stittsville receiving the funds to build a new high school and I have encouraged the Minister of Education, the Hon. Liz Sandals, by writing to her to see her follow through on this important community need.

Let’s Stay In Touch Stittsville News - Thursday, June 2, 2016 43

Stittsville Food Bank thanks volunteers, donors, supporters John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It was “Thank You” time at the Stittsville Food Bank on Thursday evening, May 26. That’s when the Food Bank invited its volunteers, donors and supporters to a gathering at the Food Bank where they were formally thanked. The “thanks” took several forms. There were plaques of appreciation given to various supporting organizations and volunteers. There were special awards like the Food Bank’s “Silver Star” award and two “Red Apple” awards presented. And there were shout outs and verbal thanks extended to representatives of community organizations which support the Food Bank in one way or another. “Tonight is a night to say “Thank You” to the community,” Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri said in her opening remarks at the gathering. She particularly pointed out the efforts of the Food Bank volunteers who in 2015 numbered over 70 who fulfilled a variety of tasks such as serving clients, picking up food donations at the bins around the community, preparing hampers

at Christmas and Thanksgiving and making presentations at local schools. She also thanked all of those who have donated to the Food Bank, pointing out that if there were no donors, there would be no food to provide to clients. And there are a lot of Food Bank clients. In 2015, the Stittsville Food Bank served 2,531 area residents. Chair Qadri pointed out that the year 2015 was a year of change and growth for the Stittsville Food Bank, with the Food Bank becoming more efficient and larger thanks to the efforts of its volunteers and its donors. Work includes checking all of the donated food items for “best before” dates, sorting the donated food items and stocking the shelves at the Food Bank. Among the organizations and volunteers which received plaques of appreciation at this Food Bank appreciation evening were Holy Spirit Catholic School where grade five students learned about the Food Bank and then spread the information to all of the other students while also collecting food items and where grade six students annually walk from the school to the Food Bank to donate food items and to help stock the shelves

with the donated food items; A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School which donates to the Food Bank every year; Sacred Heart High School whose students help with the Christmas hamper program and whose students also collect food for the Food Bank; Stittsville District Lions Club whose members walk the Parade of Lights route every year collecting food items and cash donations for the Food Bank; Stittsville IDA Pharmacy for donating over 150 boxes of cereal to the Food Bank every year; youth volunteers Joey Holroyd and Adam McCaw who have done numerous volunteer tasks at the Food Bank and have become valuable and long term volunteers (Adam did not receive a plaque but instead received a red apple award); volunteer Lesa Hobbs who checks the hampers to ensure their completeness; volunteer Ron Hauck who helps in many ways, delivering to clients when necessary, collecting from the bins and more; and Food Bank past chair and long time volunteer Robin Derrick who not only received a plaque of appreciation but also was presented with a special ball hat to represent the “many hats” which he has worn in his service to the Food Bank

Lyn was there beside him after he over the years. Robin, in his remarks at the gath- received his plaque and hat. ering, recounted how he had first joined the Food Bank as a volunSee FOOD BANK, page 45 teer, phoning then Food Bank chair Lyn Arsenault to offer himself as a volunteer.

Food Bank holds appreciation evening Continued from page 44

Food Bank Board member Paula Farrell was presented with the Food Bank’s “Gold Star” award for her work coordinating the efforts of the various churches in the community in their support of the Food Bank. Other organizations which received verbal recognition at this donor and volunteer appreciation evening included the Stittsville firefighters who help out with the delivery of the Christmas hampers and the Stittsville Legion. But chair Qadri noted that there were so many in the community who supported the Food Bank and she thanked all support-

ers and supporting organizations for their efforts and contributions. At this appreciation evening, Food Bank volunteer Jo-Anne Ilkiw, who recently received the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year Award at the Stittsville Appreciation Awards ceremony, explained the symbols featured in the Food Bank’s new log which was designed by a student in 2014. The logo features two hands which symbolizes people helping people in the community. An apple in the logo symbolizes food. The logo is being used by the Food Bank on its posters and other publicity materials.

Tickets can be arranged by phoning Shirley Morris at 613-838-3721. This year something new is being tried in that entertainment is being provided following the BBQ.

Life of Maria Hill outlined at day hospice in Richmond Special to the News

She met Laura Secord on a War of 1812 battlefield. She hosted a banquet for the Duke of Richmond when he visited Richmond in 1819. She was at the laying of the cornerstone for St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond in 1823. And she was the last surviving member of Richmond’s initial military settlers when she died in 1881 at the age of 90. Wow! But that’s just part of the life of Maria Hill which was described in detail by War of 1812 and Richmond historical researcher Kurt Johnson in a presentation at the Hospice Care Ottawa day hospice at St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Richmond on Thursday, May 26. He joined John Curry who wrote “Richmond on the Jock,” a book outlining the history of Richmond, in sharing some of Richmond’s history with the day hospice clients and volunteers. It was the third and final weekly presentation on the history of Richmond which was arranged for the day hospice by Curry. It was rather appropriate that the day hospice is held at the St. John’s Anglican Church hall because this hall stands virtually in the shadow of the steeple of the adjacent St. John’s Anglican Church. This steeple is a memorial tribute to Maria Hill. Kurt Johnson, in his presentation about the life of Maria Hill, told how she came to Upper Canada from England as an eight year old child. She met and married

Sgt. Andrew Hill of the 100th Regiment, an Irishman, in 1811 at Fort Malden near present-day Windsor, becoming what is known as “a daughter of the regiment,” that is, a wife who followed her soldier husband as he was posted to various forts. But Maria was not your normal “daughter of the regiment” in that she also has skills as a nurse and a surgeon’s assistant so she served in these capacities in the War of 1812. It was while walking among the wounded on the battlefield at Queenston Heights in Oct. 1812 that Maria met Laura Secord. Legend has it, Johnson reported, that Maria disguised herself as a man, wearing a redcoat uniform, during the War of 1812 so that she could remain near the action and close to her husband. He noted that this indeed may be true because apparently her identify was revealed when her leg was run over by an ammunition wagon. Although her identify was then revealed, she was able to remain in the field because of her skills as a nurse. But the accident did cripple her to some degree and in her later years in Richmond, the resulting lameness prevented her from walking to church from her home at the northeast corner of McBean Street and Strachan Street. Johnson noted that when this happened, a neighbour adopted the habit of going for Sunday dinner with Maria and recounting “word for word” what had been said in the

Local Events

Sunday sermon at church. After the War of 1812 and the disbanding of the 100th Regiment, Maria and her husband Andrew were among the first 400 settlers to arrive at the Richmond settlement in 1818 where they opened a tavern near the Jock River. Andrew also worked as a clerk in the commissary offices that existed in the settlement until 1822 when military support for the settlement ended.

When the Duke of Richmond visited Richmond in 1819, it was Maria, known for her cooking and singing, who hosted the gala banquet in his honour which was held at the tavern. A day after the banquet, Maria was the one who prepared the corpse of the dead Duke for transport to Quebec city for burial. See RICHMOND ARENA, page 49

Richmond arena mural depicts Maria Hill Continued from page 48

In 1823, when the cornerstone was laid for the first St. John’s Anglican Church, Maria was present for the occasion. After Andrew died in 1830, Maria married Andrew Taylor and they were together for 30 years until his death in 1879. Maria’s daughter Margaret, who had been born at Fort Malden during the military service of Maria and Andrew, married Edward Malloch, a large landowner including land in the Richmond area who also served as the sherriff of Carleton County and as MP for the area. Their daughter (Maria’s granddaughter) married Sir James Alexander Grant who served as the personal physician to a number of Canada’s Governors-General. They lived on Elgin Street in a mansion that in recent years was the location for Friday’s Steakhouse. When Maria Hill died in 1881, she was the last remaining member of the original settlers of Richmond. She was buried at St. John’s Anglican Church cemetery in Richmond but in 1887, her remains and those of both of

her husbands were removed from that cemetery and buried in the Malloch family plot at the Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa. Johnson, in his presentation, noted that one of the murals on the exterior of the Richmond arena depicts Maria Hill riding in a wagon in Richmond’s parade celebrating Confederation in 1867 when she would be 76 years of age. He even circulated a picture of the mural to those at the presentation. Following this presentation by Kurt Johnson about Maria Hill and her life, John Curry gave a brief synopsis of the life of George Lyon who was born in Richmond in 1858 and went on to win the first and only gold medal ever awarded for golf in the Olympics in 1904 in St. Louis. He also noted that George Lyon’s grandfather had fought in the Battle of Chippewa in the War of 1812 and that golfer George Lyon himself had participated as a member of the militia in putting down the Riel Rebellion in Saskatchewan in 1885. Curry also noted that the Lyon family has been prominent in Richmond and area history. George Lyon, one of the first

settlers, established a grist mill on the Jock River and was an early entrepreneur in the community. Another Lyon was the first reeve of Richmond when it became an incorporated municipality in 1850 and yet another Lyon was one of Ottawa’s early mayors. Copies of a pamphlet outlining

the stories of Maria Hill, her husband Andrew Hill, George Lyon (the entrepreneur) and George Thew Burke, the superintendent of the initial military settlement in 1818, were distributed at the presentation. The pamphlet had been produced by the Goulbourn Museum thanks to original re-

search done by Kurt Johnson. A draw for several books about the history of Richmond including Marlene Greene’s book about the history of the Richmond Fair and a newly published book outlining the story of golfer George Lyon were raffled off at the conclusion of the presentation.

Student art in library at South Carleton High School John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The library learning commons at South Carleton High School in Richmond became an art gallery on Wednesday, May 25. That’s because it served as the site for an art show featuring the work of South Carleton art students from grades 9 to 12. And there was lots of it – on the shelves, on the walls, on tables, even on the library’s new student-made counter made out of books. Eye-catching, colourful and intriguing in design were those works of art on display that were done by students in the style of Canadian aboriginal artist Norval Morrisseau, known as the “Picasso of the North,” who founded the Woodlands school of Canadian art. Norval’s style is characterized by thick black outlines and bright colours and the student art reflected this while featuring an animal of significance. This student art in the style of Norval Morrisseau was done on canvas instead of paper, a sturdier medium. These works, done by grade nine students, could be found in places in the library entrance area including atop the counter made out of

books. There were also more in the library room to the right, off the entrance area. Lauren Carriere’s acrylic on canvas work entitled “Oh Deer” followed the Norval Morrisseau style as it featured bright yellow and orange. Sarah Brodmann’s work “Eagle”, another acrylic on canvas, was equally colourful with its West Coast art flavour. Anique White’s “Flying Turtle,” another done in the Morrisseau style, depicted a turtle with wings while Josh Yale’s work, simply entitled “Untitled,” showed a fish with a rather sad demeanour. Emma L’Abbe’s work “Caribou” featured an orange caribou with antlers, set against a mauve background. She used acrylic paint, pencil and transfer paper for this work. The artist statement accompanying this work showed the attention to detail that she put into this work as it read as follows: “I carefully blended acrylic paint together to create the exact colours I wanted. I also free handed my caribou and transferred it on to hand-made transfer paper. The colour scheme I used was warm/cool colours.” But this was a show with lots more than art of one style or type.

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC . N W O D OU CHAIN Y T. U O T S U B

There were digital prints on display such as two in colour by grade 11 student Taylor Wilson, one entitled “Paintball” and another featuring a jiu jitsu pose. There was a pair of digital photos by grade 11 student Brianna Smith, one of a horse being ridden over a jump and another featuring a closeup of a horse’s hooves. A series of three photographs featuring natural wood scenes was the work of grade 11 student Tabitha Twilley while fellow grade 11 student Alyssa Morden-Hayley had a digital print on display entitled “Marilyn Recreated.” You guessed it – it was a photograph resembling an image of the pop culture icon Marilyn Monroe. And while “Marilyn Recreated” was eye catching because Marilyn herself was so eye catching, Nicole Silverthorn’s digital print entitled “Splash” was equally eye popping, capturing just that moment when water is splashing from a bowl after a lime has been dropped into it. More digital photography work was shown on a screen in a Google video show presentation as the students work with digital cameras in creating such work. The library room off the entrance area was jammed with stu-

dent art, some black and white pencil work, some featuring colour. Grade nine student Cameron Carriere used pencil to create a work entitled “Car,” with a Volkswagen Beetle form. Avery Batchelar, another grade nine student, also used pencils to create “The Flower” depicting a floral bloom. Meredith Williamson, a grade nine student, was one of the students who used coloured pencils

and a sharpie to create a coloured circle which she termed “Kaleidoscope.” Other works in this style included “Izila Mask” by grade nine student Wyatt Carter and one by Aawo Mahamoud. Pencil was used by grade nine student Katie Kuhn in creating her black and white work “Ballet” featuring a closeup of feet in ballerina shoes. See PRINTMAKING, page 51

Among this type of work on display was grade 11 student Samantha Stafford’s series of three images entitled “Your Bottles.” A similar work of printmaking was “Cup of Tea” by grade 11 student Meghan McKeeman, showing a series of three cups of steaming tea.

MARY COOK Memories Mother put her hand on my shoulder and looked me square in the eye. I was about to head out to school, and I knew exactly what she was going to say, so I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers. I had it on good authority that if you were about to tell a lie, crossing your fingers made things right. “Now don’t you and Velma go walking in those ditches of water on the way home from school. It’s still too cold, and you’ll come with a death of the cold, and we’ll have to call Mrs. Beam and you know what that means: the onion treatment.” With my fingers knitted behind my back, I assured her we would stay clear of the ditches, knowing full well that Velma and I, once we got rid of our brothers and sisters, would do what we did just about every day coming home from the Northcote School. The ditches still had water from the spring run-off, and heavy rains for several days made them look like little streams, and were too inviting to be ignored. As soon as the coast was clear, Velma and I headed behind a cluster of cedars, peeled off our shoes and

I kept my fingers crossed as usual, just in case she questioned me about walking in the water-filled ditches. My stockings were damp, so I draped them over the chair near my bed, tucked my not too dry shoes under the washstand, and headed downstairs in my play clothes. “I bet you and Velma walked the ditches on your way home,” my hateful brother Emerson said at the supper table. I dropped my fork, put my hands behind my back with my fingers crossed, and denied it vehemently. Mother was too busy filling our plates to take notice, as I shot daggers at Emerson. My beloved sister Audrey vowed she saw Velma and me walking on the Northcote Side Road all the way home from school, and we were nowhere near the ditches. She had her hands behind her back, and I knew, without a doubt, her fingers were crossed. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

54 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 2, 2016

The hoops, ribbons, scarves, rope, balls and other apparatus used by rhythmic gymnasts all appeared on the stage at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville on Friday evening, May 27 as the Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club held its annual spring gymnaestrada. This event was a celebration of the work and effort done by the Club’s recreational gymnasts over the past season while also featuring some special performances from the Club’s advanced gymnasts. This year’s gymnaestrada included performances from the Club’s national-level athletes as well. Several of these athletes have qualified for Nationals which are coming up in Manitoba. This year’s gymnaestrada featured 25 different routines which included routines using hoops, lollipops, rope, teddy bears, ribbons, scarves, pom poms and balls. There were also free routines, a stretching routine and a warm-up routine presented. National gymnast Cynthia Zhang presented a free routine while fellow national gymnast performed a rope routine. National gymnast Emma Yau presented a hoop routine while national gymnast Erika Lin performed a ball routine. Various groups of gymnasts presented a variety of routines bearing such names as “Soda Pop,” “Sugar Sugar,” “Hoola Hoop,” “Flowers and Butterflies,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Seven Dwarfs,” and “Fireball,” among others. The Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club was founded in 1975 by Dasa Lelli who remains as the Club’s head coach. A former rhythmic gymnast in her native Czechoslovakia, Dasa is a level three certified coach as well as a fitness instructor. Dasa coaches and oversees all levels of rhythmic gymnastics within the club, shaping the Club’s philosophy of teaching physical skills, sportsmanship and everyday conduct supported by strong moral values.

She received the Ontario Coaching Association’s Coach of the Year Award in 2010. The Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club holds its instructional programs in various locations in the area including at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville and the Glen Cairn Community Centre, St. Gabriel Catholic School, Bridlewood Elementary School, the Old Town Hall and the Mlacak Centre, all in Kanata. Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport in which individuals or groups manipulate one or more pieces of apparatus such as hoops, balls, rope or ribbons. It is a sport that combines elements of ballet, gymnastics, dance and apparatus manipulation. The choreography involved must cover the entire floor or stage and contain a balance of jumps, leaps, pivots, balances and flexibility movements. The Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club can be contacted at 613-867-5774 or via email at info@ krsg.org.

Lovingly remembered by her children Bill (Barb), John (Judy), Mary O’Loughlin (John), David (Loretta); her grandchildren Jason (Andrea), Jen, Laura (Mat), Kim (Derek), Chris; and great grandchildren Samantha, Cameron, Alex, Ryleigh, Eli, Sawyer and Savannah. Will also be missed by her brother Lee (Sue) and sister-in-law Helen. Elsie had a long career with Sears and Eaton’s in Clinton, Ont and Ottawa. She also had a second career as an Armed Forces wife and when you are an Armed Forces wife you might as well be enlisted.

During her time as part of the armed forces, she lived in St. Margaret’s, N.B., Clinton, Ontario (twice), Metz, France, and Carp, Ontario where she retired as an Armed Forces wife. She was an accomplished seamstress, knitter, crocheter and quilter. Over the years, she was active in the Richmond Legion and St. Paul’s United Church - meaningful parts of her life. Most recently she had been wrestling with Alzheimer’s and fought it bravely to the end. Her children wish to express special thanks to staff at Extendicare Starwood, Ottawa and Richmond Care Home, Richmond, who all contributed to making her final years peaceful and full of dignity.
