It’s graduation at Nursery School in Richmond. - Page 9

EMC news - He has recently been part of a puppet theatre company that toured all over the United States and even reached Singapore. Now he’s back in his home town and will be performing at Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations coming up this Sunday, July 1st, Canada Day. Ben Durocher, now 22, who attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School and then Sacred Heart High School before attending Canterbury High School and now lives in New York City when not touring, will be on stage in Stittsville on Canada Day, performing at 5:45 p.m. He will be performing a couple of songs while accompanied by his puppets. Ben, though, will be around the Canada Day celebrations for more than just his stage appearance. Starting about 2 p.m., he will be roaming around the grounds with his

puppets, keeping people entertained. Ben graduated from the Musical Conservatory at the University of Cincinnati in April 2011 and since then he had managed to keep busy in the musical theatre and puppetry fields in the United States. He performed in the musical “Forever Plaid� in upstate New York and then joined the cast of “ImaginOcean,� a musical black light puppet show that toured all over the United States, hitting some 40 cities or so, as well as going overseas to Singapore. “It was a lot of fun,� Ben says about this touring experience, saying that it allowed him to see a number of United States cities that he would not have visited otherwise. The show allowed Ben to use both his puppetry and his singing talents. “It was totally a great combination of the two,� he says, noting that the fact that he

does both musical theatre and puppetry seems to be an asset in the competitive milieu of the theatre. Ben returned home to Stittsville last week after attending a puppetry conference in Connecticut. This weeklong event with workshops and classes features the presence of puppet masters from around the world. Ben will be staying home in Stittsville until early August when he will be heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to be involved in another musical production involving puppets called “Avenue Q.� This show will be running for seven weeks. While at home, Ben will be performing at the upcoming Puppets Up festival in Almonte. Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations are taking place again this year at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street at Shea Road. An official opening will be held at 3 p.m., followed by

stage entertainment through to the gala fireworks at 9:45 p.m. or so. There will also be

a variety of activities on the grounds throughout the afternoon.

Bren Hunter to return to world championships Special to the News

despite competing in the boys’ age 13-17 category for the ďŹ rst time as he just turned 13 last October. This placed him in categories competing against much older and more experienced athletes but despite being the rookie in this age category, he managed to shine.

Now he is headed to the WKA world kickboxing and karate championships for the fourth consecutive year. On this Canadian team, he will be joining 11 others who like Bren train at the Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy (CSMA) on Iber Road in Stittsville. These CSMA

Bren Hunter of Stittsville displays the four medals – one gold, one silver and two bronze – which he won at the recent Canadian team qualifying event at Brossard, Quebec.

teammates who will be joining Bren at the WKA championships in Florida in September are Alison Ferguson, Emma Cross, Stephen Cross, Jimmy Fitzsimmons, Larissa Ide, Millan Wang, Stewart Wilkinson, Sue Lagasi, Kayla Shepherd, Shivani Sivabalan and Jason Dupuis. Bren is heading to these 2012 world championships with the goal of making it to the podium in his new age division. It will not be six podium visits like at the 2011 World Karate Association world championships where he was also a world champion gold medalist twice over but don’t underestimate this karate phenom. He had set a goal of being a world champion before the age of 13 and this he achieved last year thanks to a lot of dedication, hard work and heart, sacriďŹ cing other things to become expert in karate. So expect to see him on the podium in Florida in September. He did better than he expected at the recent Canadian team qualifying event. He may do the same at the world championships in Florida. Bren gained experience in world championship events by competing in the WKA world championships in Spain in 2009. He was back at the world championships in Scotland in 2010 where he won three bronze medals. And then last year he won six

medals including two world championship gold medals in Germany, dominating the boys’ under 13 age category. What was a eye-catching accomplishment at these 2011 WKA world championships was the performance of Bren and his partner Max Kelland of Gatineau. They captured the gold medal and the 2011 world champion title for syn-

chronized freestyle teams not in the under 13 age category but in the junior under 17 division. After ďŹ nishing second in the elimination round, Bren and Max became world champions by beating the top seeded United States team in the ďŹ nal round – their high energy weapons routine was just that good!

EMC sports - Bren Hunter continues to win. The youthful karate enthusiast from Stittsville who won six medals at the 2011 World Karate Association (WKA) world championships in Germany including two world champion gold medals has won four medals at the Canadian team qualifying event in Brossard, Quebec on the weekend of June 15-17. In so doing, he has qualiďŹ ed for the Canadian team headed to this year’s WKA world kickboxing and karate championships at the gates of Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida this coming September. He went into the Canadian team qualifying competition with the goal of reaching the top three in one or two categories as the top three in each category are named to the Canadian team. Well, Bren exceeded this goal as he qualiďŹ ed for the Canadian team in four categories. He won gold in the boys under 55 kilograms point ďŹ ghting and silver in boys’ creative weapons. In addition, he captured the bronze in both the boys’ musical weapons and the boys’ Korean patterns. In addition, he ďŹ nished fourth in three other categories, making him the Canadian team alternate for each of these categories. Bren has done all of this

A draft action plan has been created based on the fall 2011 consultation findings and background research. The City of Ottawa now invites older adults and other stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed draft action plan. The action plan is organized around eight strategic areas: Outdoor spaces and City buildings Transportation and Mobility Housing Communication and information

Social, Recreational and Cultural Participation Civic Participation and Volunteering Community Support and Health Services Respect and social inclusion

You can participate by attending a community session or by filling out an online feed-back survey. The input collected will help prioritize and refine the actions before the plan is presented to City Council in September 2012.

Grad diplomas for three from Stittsville John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Three from Stittsville received their secondary school diplomas at the Algonquin Achievement Centre’s graduation ceremony at Algonquin College on Thursday, June 21. Daniel Rowbotham, Matthew Jacobsen and Michael Robinson were among the 47 students who received their high school graduation diplomas from St. Paul Catholic High School principal Bill Barrett who is responsible for this Achievement Centre program which is a partnership involving Algonquin College, the Ottawa Catholic School Board and a student’s home high school. Daniel Rowbotham of Stittsville, who was a latecomer to the Achievement Centre program where he completed some necessary credits in order to be able to move on and accept a scholarship offer at Carleton University for the fall, came to the program from South Carleton High School in Richmond. Matthew Jacobsen of Stittsville was at the Algonquin Achievement Centre for the whole school year after previously attending South Carleton High School as well. He will be off in the fall to Cambrian College in Sudbury for music studies. Michael Robinson of Stittsville was unable to attend the graduation ceremony as he was attending an Algonquin College course at the time. A former Sacred Heart High School student, he received one of the Pathways for Success awards presented at the ceremony. The Algonquin Achievement Centre allows students to experience academic success in a setting different from the regular high school. It allows students to study and learn in a college setting and in fact they can take so-called dual credit courses

A third student from Stittsville, Michael Robinson, who also graduated is missing from the photo. which count not only toward their high school diploma but also toward post-secondary studies as well. Algonquin Dual Credit Achievement awards were presented to 11 of the graduating students who had successfully completed a dual credit course. This is not unusual across the province, as 12,000 students in the province access such dual credit courses. Being in the college setting also helps these students prepare for their college or university years coming up. In his remarks at the ceremony, Ottawa Catholic School Board director of education Julian Hanlon noted that the Board operates four Achievement Centres like the Algonquin one as well as the St. Nicholas Adult High School.

This year there are over 400 students who will be getting their high school graduation diplomas from these programs. He said that students accessing these programs have simply chosen a different path to academic success but have certainly made the effort required to achieve high school graduation. Other speakers at the graduation ceremony include Kent McDonald, vice-president academic and presidentelect of Algonquin College; Bill Barrett, principal of St. Paul Catholic High School and in addition this Algonquin Achievement Centre; and Gordon Butler, an Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee and former Board chair. The ceremony was MC’d by the Algonquin Achieve-

ment Centre’s teacher Joan Savoie, whose teaching excellence was recognized earlier this year when she was awarded a Capital Educators’ Award. Her son, Eric Savoie, a Masters graduate from Carleton University, has provided an award for a graduating student from the Algonquin Achievement Centre program who is pursuing a pathway requiring entrepreneurial skills. This award sent to graduate Kayla Richard who was, along with graduate Diana Pylypenko, one of the valedictorians for the graduating class. The Lieutenant Governor’s Community Volunteer Award was presented to graduating student Jessica Good who had accumulated over 350 hours of volunteer community service.

OTTAWA DROWNING PREVENTION AND POOL SAFETY Now that the pool season is upon us, I would like to remind residents to be safe when enjoying pool and water activities. At least one child will drown every two weeks in Canada between June and September. Each day, there will be a near-drowning incident. Whether it’s in a backyard or public pool, a lake or river, our children are particularly at risk. These tragedies often happen during a brief lapse of adult supervision and are avoidable.

Over 62 years of service john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Two clergy, one a parish priest and one a deacon. Both are retiring as of Aug. 1 from Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Stittsville. And with them will go over 62 years of service to the Catholic church. “It’s over 62 years of dedicated, loving service,” Holy Spirit Deacon Ron McRae said in describing the combined years of service given to the Catholic church by Rev. Ross Finlan, pastor of Holy Spirit Catholic Parish with over 37 years’ service since his ordination, and Deacon Nuno Da Nova, completing more than 25 years’ service since becoming a deacon. Deacon McRae served as the MC for a farewell retirement gathering which was held for both Rev. Finlan and Deacon Da Nova in the parish hall at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road in Stittsville last Sunday, June 24 following the 10:30 a.m. mass at the church. Over 200 parishioners and visitors attended the gathering which saw clusters of orange, yellow, blue and green balloons tied above a table where a guest book for well wishes could be signed and also above a long buffet-style table filled with sandwiches and other refreshments. Speaking at the gathering, Monsignor Joseph Muldoon, who will be the new parish priest at Holy Spirit as of Aug. 1, noted that Rev. Finlan since his ordination in 1974 served in the military, in education and in parish work, including tenure at St. Isidore’s, Holy Cross and most recently Holy Spirit parishes. He said that Rev. Finlan, in his 38 years in the ministry, has used his many gifts

Deacon Da Nova, in his remarks at the retirement gathering, admitted that his life as a deacon had had its “ups and downs.” “I treasure the ups and forget the downs,” he said, thanking his wife and family for their support. He also thanked the parishioners at Holy Spirit for accepting him as he was. Msgr. Muldoon, speaking about Deacon Da Nova, thanked him for his generous and faithful service over the years, especially his pastoral care to those who are sick and suffering. Lois Desjardine, president of the CWL at Holy Spirit Parish, in making a presentation to Deacon Da Nova, praised him for his years of faithful service to the Catholic church, Holy Spirit parish and the CWL. “You will be missed,” she said to him. Both Ms. Desjardine, on behalf of the C.W.L., and Richard Rodericks, Grand Knight of Holy Spirit’s Knights of Columbus Council, made presentations to both Rev. Finlan and Deacon Da Nova, thanking them for their service to the parish. Holy Spirit’s new parish priest, Msgr. Muldoon, takes over on Aug. 1 and will be formally installed in the position by Archbishop Terrence Prendergast on Sunday, Aug. 12 in a ceremony at Holy Spirit church.

said that he is confident that Msgr. Muldoon will build on the success achieved in the parish over the last three years, saying that Holy Spirit was a wonderful community. “It’s been a wonderful 38 years,” he said about his life as a priest since his ordination in 1974, professing that it had hardly seemed like 38 years. He cited his work with a number of deacons, with various committees in the Archdiocese and with women who had assumed a ministry in the church like Holy Spirit’s pastoral assistant Marian Poyner. Deacon Nuno Da Nova was ordained as a deacon in Montreal in Oct. 1986, 26 years ago. He served in parishes in Montreal with a particular focus on the Portuguese community since he speaks Portuguese. He came to Ottawa in 1994 and after serving the Portuguese community for nine years and following a one year sabbatical, he arrived at Holy Spirit Parish in 2004. He has had a particular focus on providing pastoral care at the Granite Ridge long term care facility on Abbott Street, although he has also delivered homilies, presided at baptisms and performed other duties. “He has all the qualities of a good deacon,” fellow Deacon Ron McRae said at the retirement gathering, particularly citing his humility and his love of music.

to preach the gospel with zeal and enthusiasm. He wished Rev. Finlan, whom he has known since 1972, the gift of good health in his retirement and he recited a Gaelic blessing for Rev. Finlan. Richard Konchak, chair of the Parish Pastoral Council at Holy Spirit, praised Rev. Finlan for all that he has done during his three years as parish priest at Holy Spirit. Rev. Finlan stressed the importance of training for the various ministries, emphasizing that such lay ministers as readers and eucharistic ministers are not volunteers but are ministers of the church, responsible for proclaiming God’s words. Rev. Finlan also ensured that both the parish pastoral and finance councils were active and transparent in their dealings. He worked to establish a parish pastoral care council and a Catholic Women’s League (CWL). A refugee sponsorship committee was also established. Three visioning sessions about the direction of the parish have been held. In short, Mr. Konchak said, under Rev. Finlan’s direction, Holy Spirit has progressed from a church building phase of its life to a parish building phase, citing the liturgical renewal which has occurred in the parish since Rev. Finlan’s arrival. In his remarks at the retirement gathering, Rev. Finlan

Help pump up Canada’s athletes this July 1

T

here’s no doubt that Hudson’s Bay Company is hoping Canadians are well aware of the Olympics, and will don Team Canada’s new 2012 Olympic Games gear come July 1. But all commercial interests aside, Canada Day is a prime date to start gearing up for the upcoming Games. Many of our athletes will

likely refrain from an all-day, beer and barbecue celebration; most will spend at least a portion of the day training for one of the biggest competitions of their lives, less than a month away. We love Canada, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t look forward to the day where we celebrate all things Canadian. And that includes our ath-

letes on the road to London. Canada Day is the perfect time to find your local athletes to cheer on at the Olympics. We can let our pride and excitement carry us through to the July 27 opening ceremonies. The Olympic Games are almost as patriotic as July 1 itself, with our athletes proudly wearing the country’s colours on an international stage.

When they march into the stadium for the opening ceremonies, there’s an excitement that comes alive that even a packed nation’s capital and fireworks can’t always reach. We’re proud to be Canadian when among an international crowd, and it’s a great thing to be able to support so many athletes abroad. When we can quantify being the best in the world at

something, it helps pump up some national pride. The celebration is a great time to not only reflect on the opportunities that we are given as Canadians, but to engage with our Olympic teams and start thinking ahead. So this Canada Day, think about the athletes who are training to represent us and who will wear the maple leaf in a few short weeks.

We’ve got our own website at www.yourottawa region.com that identifies Ontario and Ottawa-based Olympians that we’re excited to follow, and with Canada Day coming, we’re even more amped to see them achieve their dreams. Let’s get behind them and keep our patriotic spirits up as we count down the days until the London 2012 Olympic Games.

COLUMN

What’s a Canadian? What a question CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

A

s usual, Canada Day will be a microcosm of our country. People will head off to the lakes to find some peace and quiet, or they may hop onto some noisy device when they get there, disturbing other people’s peace and quiet. People will congregate with thousands of other people in downtown Ottawa. They will solemnly celebrate our country’s 145 years or they will party like crazy and leave a mess. If they are a bit more scholarly, they might visit a museum to learn more about their country (amazingly, in this time of cutbacks, the museums are open). Or, being Canadians, they may ignore the whole thing and drive into the United States to do some shopping. It’s what makes this country great, the fact that there is no one way to do things, even on our national holiday. Not that this hasn’t been said before. In fact, it’s hard to find anything to say about Canada that hasn’t been said before on Canada Day by some Canadian. Most of it has been pretty admiring. Canada Day gives us the opportunity to admire ourselves and there is much to admire, not all of it scenic. One of the things we admire is that fact that we don’t tend to be a self-admiring nation. Canadians are their own worst critics, and whenever someone in a foreign country writes something critical about Canada he will find many Canadians eager to agree with him. Obviously, this isn’t all to the good. Just as it is not ideal to be chest-thumping patriots, unwilling to recognize any national faults, it’s not ideal either to be so envious of other countries that we can’t see the virtues in our own.

You know the bit about how Canadians are boring (especially in Ottawa). Many Canadians seem all too willing to buy into that. Yet there’s something to be said for a little boredom, if it means safe streets, no civil war, no mass starvation. Having said all that, what’s new to say about this Canada Day? Well, we have economic woes, which we’ve had before. In the capital, we face public service cutbacks, which we’ve seen before too. It’s hotter than usual, but then, it’s been hotter than usual before and we all always say we’ve never seen it this hot. Sometimes it’s cooler than usual and we say we haven’t seen it this cool. And there is more concern that climate change threatens the lakes, forests and oceans that define us. That concern doesn’t seem to have penetrated the political level. But we have lived with that for a while too. Same old, same old. One thing that feels different is that Canada Day seems less a time for national introspection than it used to be. In years gone by it was common for Canada Day to inspire a wave of earnest commentary seeking to define Canada or, maybe worse, seeking to inspire others to define Canada. Defining Canada was a big national industry for a time. If you had a nickel for every time you saw the words “whither Canada,� you could balance the federal budget. Another opportunity wasted. For a while there we were so busy defining ourselves that we could barely look at the fireworks but, fortunately, those days seem to have passed. We may be self-critical at times but we are also self-confident. We know that we have great innovators, great artists. We have great books and great music and we know that now. Not that we necessarily reward those who produce them. That comes next, perhaps. We don’t worry any more that our kids won’t want to be Canadians. They have shown us that they do. The tricky part now is to create an economy and a social climate that will make them glad they stayed. That thought wasn’t meant to spoil the party.

Youngsters sing, dance at Nursery School graduation John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A procession. Mortarboards. The presentation of certificates. And a standing-room only crowd, with many armed with cameras to record the event. Yes, this graduation ceremony had all the trappings of such a ceremony at any school. But the graduation ceremony at the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School on Wednesday morning, June 20

had some features that were special to a ceremony involving pre-school youngsters who are now moving on to kindergarten. The 20-plus youngsters, lined up in single file across the front of the crowd of about 100 proud parents, grandparents and siblings, performed several songs, one of which saw the youngsters jumping up and down. Their performance also included the chicken dance song, a song

about their individual uniqueness and, finally, a “graduation song”, sung to the tune of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” but with wording such as “I’ve Been Working All Year Long.” It ended with an enthusiastic refrain that graduation day was finally a reality. “Kindergarten, here I come,” they all shouted at the end. With two fans circulating air in the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church hall on

McBean Street in Richmond where the ceremony was held, trying to offset some of the warm weather that prevailed that day, each of the youngsters was called up to receive a colourful graduation diploma and congratulations from school director Krista and teacher Heidi, while also receiving a booklet. Sometimes, as a youngster excitedly jumped up to go to receive the diploma, the black paper mortarboard being worn would fly off the head. But flying mortarboards are a tradition at graduations,

although at high school and other graduations, the graduates usually intentionally toss the mortarboards into the air to celebrate their successful graduation. At a nursery school graduation, it seems appropriate that these handcrafted mortarboards should fly through the air, not because they are being tossed by a graduate but simply because the happy youngster has gleefully moved quickly, anxious to receive a certificate from their beloved nursery school teachers. The graduation ceremony

ended with a video presentation showing scenes of activities throughout the past nursery school year including a visit to the post office, another visit to the fire hall, an experience exploring a police cruiser and a time to get familiar with a school bus in preparation for the upcoming kindergarten experience. This forty minute Nursery School graduation ceremony was followed by a social time where everyone present had an opportunity to enjoy a buffet featuring strawberries and other goodies.

Church partners with Seje john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Last Saturday’s Walk For Water organized by the Community Bible Church in Stittsville is just one of the ways in which the congregation is working to help the village of Seje in Kenya in Africa. Besides raising funds to expand the fledging water infrastructure in Seje, the Community Bible Church has entered into a partnership with the Seje community to try to make a difference and help that community become more sustainable and self sufficient. Community Bible Church members Neil Jackman and Ron Killeen told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville about this partnership during a presentation to the Club at its meeting on Tuesday, June 19. While providing clean water to the Seje community is a primary focus, health, agriculture and education are also areas of focus as well. Mr. Killeen described the Community Bible Church’s involvement in partnership with Seje as an “amazing adventure,” pointing out that even two years ago, those at the Community Bible Church had no clue about Africa and its situation. But through the example of a church in Osgoode, the Community Bible Church took a similar initiative and formed this partnership with Seje, a cluster of villages on the western edge of Kenya that are home to about 5,000 people. He pointed out that those who are really blessed in life, like those living in Canada, have an obligation to help others who are in need and to give back some of the bless-

ings that they enjoy in their own lives. Indeed, he says that this exposure to life in Seje has impacted his own life in that now he has no tolerance for those in Canada who whine about things since he has now seen the situation of people who have real problems. He has nothing but praise, though, for the people of Seje whom he calls phenomenal, noting that in the midst of all their poverty and illness and hardship, they still enjoy life. “They who have nothing in life seem to find joy in everyday things,” Mr. Killeen said in describing the people of Seje. He explained that there is much poverty in the Seje area, with most families living on less than a dollar a day. He said that AIDS has impacted about 20 percent of the population in the region, a region which has a doctor/patient ratio of 1 to 96,000 compared to Canada’s ratio of 1 to 470 patients. He pointed out that there is a high mortality rate in the region, with 40 percent of the children dying by the age of one due to bad water, malaria or AIDS. By the age of five, 60 percent of children have died. Mr. Killeen said that when the Community Bible Church first started dealing with the Seje community, education was not on the church’s radar. However, because those in the Seje community said that education was an important goal for them, education has become part of the partnership. That’s why the Community Bible Church has been involved in opening a school for orphans where the children receive not only education but

also food, giving them a hope for the future that they previously did not have. The classroom is currently in a hut, with two grades involving 51 children. Members of the congregation of the Community Bible Church sponsor the children at $40 a month each which covers food, clothing, books, a teacher and health care. The next step will be to add another grade and also to erect a school building, a $100,000 project that the church hopes to accomplish over the next 18 months. The Seje community itself is actively involved in this project, with the community raising funds to purchase a two acre site for the school. This shows how the Seje community itself is supporting this education initiative and is taking action on its own to make it happen. This underlies that the partnership is geared at helping Seje become a sustainable community, not a dependant community. The Seje community is also going to purchase land for agriculture. The community will grow crops and sell them to help support the school.

Concert Band on Canada Day John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - When the Stittsville Concert Band takes to the stage for its one-hour performance at Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations this Sunday, July 1st, Canada Day, one of its musical selections will have a special connection with one of the band’s own, Danny Lamoureux. And what a connection it is, not only because he arranged the music but because he did it all in one day and that day was the day on which his father passed away. It’s called “Prepare Ye” and is described as a musical celebration of life and overcoming loneliness in its many manifestations. The Canada Day performance by the Stittsville Concert Band will mark the public debut of this new arrangement. Danny Lamoureux, who has been the drummer for the Main & Abbott Dance Band as well as the Stittsville Concert Band’s Ten Piece Band, readily admits that he is not a music composer by trade. However, on the morning of Aug. 24, 2011 (there are some dates that you never forget), he woke up unusually early, unable to sleep. He had melodies stuck in his head that began to blend together. One melody was from the musical Godspell while the other was the popular choral “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a song initially writ-

ten in 1945 for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel and later recorded by a bevy of singing stars including Doris Day, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Elvis Presley. “You’ll Never Walk Alone” also became universally known when Jerry Lewis sang it at the conclusion of his annual Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon from 1964 through to 2010. With these two melodies resonating in his head, Danny sat down in his living room and began writing out the melodies and before long, he had written about 30 measures of music with the two different melodies interweaving and coming together. “It seemed as though the piece was writing itself and all I was doing was decoding it, like a simple enough Sudoku puzzle,” Danny recounts. At about 7 a.m. (remember, Danny had gotten up very early that day), Danny, who was living in London, Ontario at the time where he was attending the University of Western Ontario, received a phone call that his father was in the hospital in British Columbia. While he waited for an update on the situation and while possible flights and accommodations were investigated by his family, his father passed away that morning. Danny does not know if it was a form of coping or perhaps his father was guiding him in some way but in any

case, he finished his fledging musical piece from beginning to end in one sitting that very afternoon. He finished the piece in what he feels is a fitting way, with a hint of the song “On My Own” from Les Miserables, the musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo. At several points throughout the piece, you can hear all three melodies simultaneously weaving through each other, Danny points out. It’s like voices in our heads that argue “You can do it. You can beat this – you’re not alone,” he notes. This “Prepare Ye” piece will be included in the Stittsville Concert Band’s program in its performance at Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School this Sunday, July 1st. The band will be performing on stage from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. The performance promises to be quite a treat as, in the words of Christine Philipson, the manager of the Stittsville Concert Band and one of its playing members as well, “we’re sound at our best right now.” The Main & Abbott Dance Band, a smaller associated group, travelled to the Perley Rideau Veterans Home on Thursday evening, June 21 to perform at a dance for the veterans there, with music to fit the occasion. You might just hear some of these tunes at

Stittsville Concert Band director Frank Martens, left, standing, directs the band during its performance at the recent Art and Authors in the Park event at Village Square in Stittsville, one of the band’s many appearances throughout the year. the Stittsville Concert Band’s Canada Day performance as well. They included “Bandstand Boogie,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” “Amapola,” “Jump, Jive and Wail,” “Moonglow,” “How High The Moon,” and “Moonlight Serenade.” But whatever the Stittsville Concert Band plays, from “Prepare Ye” to any number of tunes from its musical repertoire, you can bet it will be good and it will be entertaining. You don’t want to miss the performance – this Sunday, July 1, Canada Day, on stage at the Stittsville Canada Day celebrations at the front of Sacred Heart High School at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road. The Stittsville Concert Band has gotten so good because it performs a lot and it practises regularly – a formula for musical excellence. In the 2010-2011 year, for instance, the Stittsville Concert Band performed more than 25 time, playing a variety of musical styles from

classical to baroque to swing to modern. And on top of this, there were appearances by the Stittsville Concert Band’s two associated musical groups, the Main & Abbott Dance Band and the smaller ten-piece Dinner Band. Sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion Stittsville Branch 618, the Stittsville Concert Band rehearses at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street every Monday evening. Musicians of all ages perform with the Stittsville Concert Band which means that newer players of all ages have an opportunity to improve under the tutelage of experienced musicians in a congenial, relaxed setting. “The connection with younger high school musicians to players in their senior years allows mentoring at all ages,” says Stittsville Concert Band director Frank Martens who is a retired Canadian Forces senior musician. Soon entering its fifth year

since inception, the Stittsville Concert Band has built a strong musical reputation and voice in the community thanks to its participation in events such as Villagefest, Legion functions and the Canada Day celebrations. “Various concerts allow us to display a varied palette of musical emotion,” says director Martens. New members are always welcome in the Stittsville Concert Band, with the only requirement being providing your own instrument and a willingness to play in a group of 30-plus musicians. Anyone interested in playing with the Stittsville Concert Band or one of its two smaller associated bands should contact manager Christine Philipson at c.philipson@sympatico.ca or by phone at 613-831-1575. On a disappointing note, the group will be losing Danny Lamoureaux from its ranks as he will be moving to Peace River, Alberta to pursue his goal of teaching high school bands.

EMC news - Hamburgers and sausages provided by the members of the Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus Council are going to be available at this year’s Canada Day celebrations. This is the ďŹ rst year that the Knights of Columbus will be on site selling tasty burgers, sausages, drinks and frozen treats for all members of the family. You will be able to enjoy a great lunch or dinner while right there on the grounds at Sacred Heart High School, watching and listening to the entertainment and enjoying the other events that will be going on. There will be special family prices and the Knights will be offering balloons for all the children who visit. The Knights of Columbus will be using a commercial-type cooking cart and BBQ for cooking these hamburgers and sausages, with Knights to be on duty from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Canada Day, Sunday, July 1. The Knights are getting to be experienced hands at providing food at special events. They were at the Education Week open house at Sacred Heart High School on Wednesday, May 9 where they served, with the help of Catholic Women’s League members, 500 hot dog/hamburger meals in the course of only one and a half hours. The Knights were back at it at the Rockin’ Royalty celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s

Diamond Jubilee at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Saturday, June 2, again providing food to hungry event visitors and participants. The Knights turned over half of their sales at this event to the youth of Stittsville who hosted the celebration. Now the Knights are taking their food vending on the road again, as it were, ready to offer their assortment of burgers, sausages, drinks and frozen treats at the upcoming Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville. All proceeds from this Canada Day food service provided by the Knights will go directly to assist various initiatives of the Knights of Columbus in their work at both Holy Spirit Parish and in the community. The Knights of Columbus at Holy Spirit Parish have launched this new food service for community, school and church events as a way of raising community awareness of the Knights of Columbus and as a way of contributing to the community. It is also a fundraising initiative for the Knights of Columbus. So look for the Knights of Columbus food cart at this year’s Canada Day celebrations which will be taking place at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street. You’ll get lots of good food at a reasonable price while knowing that you are helping out this community-based group that in turn wants to be involved in and help the community.

Sunny weather for year-end BBQ Special to the News

EMC news - Sunny, warm weather under blue skies with puffy clouds prevailed for the annual year-end BBQ at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Wednesday, June 20. The rear yard at the Stittsville Main Street school was alive with activity for the event which ran from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Todd Brown of Brown’s Your Independent Grocer joined teachers and parents in providing the BBQ featuring both hamburgers and hot dogs. Other goodies include chips, drinks, sno-cones and ice cream. Music blared out over the site as the treed area at the rear of the yard proved to be an alluring spot, out of the sun

and a little cooler, for some of those at the event. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was in attendance at the BBQ. Among the attractions were an Ottawa Police Service cruiser, a couple of Ottawa Police Service motorcycles and an Ottawa Police Service emergency vehicle. There were a number of games for youngsters to try including a bean bag toss, a ball toss and a hockey goalie shooting game. A rafe proved popular while a 50/50 draw with an arm’s length of tickets being sold for ďŹ ve dollars, also attracted a lot of support. A new play structure in the school yard attracted a lot of interest from the younger crowd.

EMC news - It’s a second ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, increasing the ice time available to local teams and groups. But this new National Hockey League sized ice surface has several unique features. It meets the new provisions of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act for sledge hockey, a sport which allows those with a physical disability to play the game of ice hockey. This means that there are widened team benches to accommodate sledges which are basically two skate blades on a metal frame that allows the puck to pass underneath. It also means that there is synthetic ice available that can laid down when sledge hockey teams are playing to link the ice surface with the dressing room area. In addition, the board glass has been extended and also lowered to provide enhanced viewing capabilities. This new ice pad facility also has six change rooms, an expanded referee room and a tournament friendly reception lobby. It is outside, though, where one of the facility’s most unique features is located. There are designated parking spots for electric vehicles with the spots equipped with “pay for use” electrical vehicle charging posts or outlets where electrical vehicles can be parked by arena visitors and charged at a nominal fee. This is the first installation of its kind at a city arena and this installation to service electric vehicles has helped the facility achieve Leadership in Energy Efficient Design (LEED) targets for environmental and energy efficiency standards. An official opening for this $8.7 million facility, which marks the final phase of a multi-year renovation and expansion project for the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, was held on Wednesday afternoon, June 20, attended by city of Ottawa dignitaries and staff along with other special guests including Stittsville native Matt Bradley who plays for Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League. “The city of Ottawa is committed to providing families and kids with the opportunities they need to participate in sports and healthy activities,” mayor Jim Watson said at the official opening. “That’s why we froze recreation fees in our first two budgets and that’s why we’re breaking down the barriers faced by residents in our community who have disabilities,” he added. “Hundreds of thousands of visitors come to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex each year and with this expansion, the city can offer them improved services in an extraordinary structure that meets their recreational needs,” city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri said at the official opening. He called the day a significant one not only for Stittsville but for the entire city with the official opening of this new NHL-size ice surface, now known as Arena B at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Others at the official opening included city of Ottawa councillor Mark Taylor who is chair of council’s Community and Protective Services Committee, city of Ottawa councillors Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson, both of Kanata, city staff members Wayne Newell, Kevin Wherry and Julia Chenier, Keith Dickie representing the architectural firm, Mark Gallant, head coach and general manager of the Ottawa Sledgehammers sledge hockey team, and Cathy Skinner, a longtime coach with the Goulbourn Skating Club. Hannah Brunsdon of Stittsville was on hand to sing O Canada. The official opening ceremony involved the unveiling of a plaque, a ceremonial puck drop and a ribbon cutting. The official opening was followed by a period of free public skating on the new ice surface as well as the provision of some refreshments provided by Scrumptious Catering of Stittsville.

This will allow the program to continue despite the destruction of the monitoring stations. Under the program, a group of local volunteers are collecting water

EMC news - Vandals have completely destroyed two water monitoring stations in the Upper Poole Creek Wetland west of Stittsville but their actions are not going to stop the collection of water level data by volunteer monitors in the community. Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC), which is leading the com-

level data to be used to identify and track changes to the wetland over the long term. “This group of volunteers has shown such positivity and dedication to the monitoring project,� Alyson Symon, an MVC watershed planner and the program’s coordinator, said. “We plan to continue the program despite this setback.�

Community volunteers are also monitoring using rain gauges capturing and recording local rainfall and wet/dry landmark indicators at various locations in the wetland. The collected data will be compiled, analyzed and presented in a yearly report. Such long term monitoring data will help identify any changes in

the quality and quantity of water resources in the area. This Upper Poole Creek Wetland monitoring program stemmed from the concerns expressed in the Stittsville community about low water levels in the wetland last summer. The wetland area along the Trans Canada Trail west of Stittsville had completely dried up.

Here’s Nobody EMC news - Thanks to a denim doll named Nobody, students in a grade six class at Goulbourn Middle School have all become a “somebody,” making a difference in the world. Each student got to take Nobody home for a week, doing some positive activity with Nobody, an activity that makes a difference in the world and which means something to them personally. Week after week, a student would share with the class that personal activity which was done with Nobody. Each student provided a written account as well and also got to provide one item of clothing or an accessory for Nobody who had shown up in the class as an unadorned denim doll. Indeed, Nobody’s exposure to the class began when teacher Ms. Jen Sammon simply put the suitcase carrying Nobody out on a desk and left it there. Eventually Nobody’s presence was revealed and the “The Nobody Project” was underway. Nobody has no gender, simply representing someone doing good in the world. And what a variety of initiatives were undertaken by these grade six students when they had Nobody home with them. Jessica Norton raised $42 for the Humane Society by doing extra chores around the house like cleaning her room, vacuuming and feeding the dog, all with the help of Nobody. She wanted to support the Humane Society because, quite simply, she loves animals. Another student Jessica Bell also opted to support the Humane Society, also by doing chores like brushing her cats and watering the garden. She and Nobody raised $11.50 for the Humane Society. Emma Richardson used her time with Nobody to help with a silent auction raising funds to save thoroughbred race horses from being killed following their racing careers. “I ride horses myself and just love them,” Emma says in explaining why she wanted to be involved in saving these horses. Student Sam Swafford wanted to help out the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) because he had been helped there medically. His project involved making six fleece blankets for use by children at CHEO, an activity which involved the whole class which made a total of six blankets after being taught how to create them. From his personal experience at CHEO, he knows that the blankets do make a difference to patients. Haley Bowditch’s effort to collect pop can tabs really took off. She went to all of the grade six classes in the school to drum up interest in this and she went around regularly to keep up the interest. In the end, over 80,000 pop can tabs were collected, just a few away from being able to obtain a wheelchair from them. She even received the dona-

tion of a fish bowl full of collected pop can tabs. Haley expanded her efforts beyond the school, also collecting pop can tabs at her dojo. Student Sam Wilson, whose father works on a dairy farm, took care of calves which are prone to get pneumonia and die. He would feed and care for them to ensure that this did not happen. Jordan Cabana raised about $20 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation by doing various household chores like walking the dog and cleaning the pool. He wanted to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation because he himself has had a heart condition. And there were more initiatives undertaken with Nobody. Raegan Jones wanted to raise awareness about the Children’s Aid Society, a desire arising from having parents who are police officers who are exposed to the Children’s Aid Society and its services. Olivia Bradey had nine inches of her hair cut off so that the hair could be donated to “Locks of Love,” an organization that provides hair pieces to financially disadvantaged children under 18 years of age who are suffering long term medical hair loss. Another student, Ryan Skinner, organized an antibullying campaign, complete with a brochure which he designed and produced on his own. “It’s been a really fun ex-

perience,” said teacher Ms. Sammon about the Mr. Nobody Project, noting that Nobody has become a somebody now thanks to the efforts of her students in making a difference. And Nobody’s appearance changed over the course of the weeks that he was with the students. Each student provided him with a piece of clothing or accessory to represent their work together in making a difference. So Nobody now has ears, a golden horseshoe, a hat, a bracelet made from

pop can tabs, hair and more. The class also has a book filled with the journals written by each of the students, explaining how they made a difference. Each student has received an “I Am Somebody” bracelet for successfully taking part in the Mr. Nobody Project. More about the program can be found at www.whoisnobody.com Teacher Ms. Sammon

learned about the Mr. Nobody Project from a school literacy coach. She notes that there is much done about volunteer work at the high school level and this Mr. Nobody Project provides an opportunity for students to get exposed to volunteer experiences at an earlier age. This program was developed by a teacher named Kelly Clark, applying literacy to

real-life experiences. Students build self-esteem by discovering their strengths and using them to help the community in a personal way. Reflecting, documenting, sharing and celebrating each participant and the group as a whole are built into the program through such things as a class scrapbook and weekly presentations by the students about their time with Nobody.

‘Survivor’ at Curves Special to the News

John Curry photo

Standing behind Tracy Willis, foreground, who is a circuit coach at Curves in Stittsville, as she sits at a fitness apparatus at the Curves fitness studio in Stittsville are city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, left, back, and Curves owner Vivienne Vanieris, right, back, who are standing in front of two of the team banners (the Flashing Greens on the left and the Red Hot Mommas on the right) created as the first challenge in the seven-team “Curves Survivor” contest that is happening this summer at Curves.

EMC news - The Orange Crushers have lived up to their name. This team, one of seven in the “survivor” contest happening this summer at Curves in Stittsville, crushed the opposition as it won the first challenge in this survivor event, namely designing and creating a team banner. Crushed may be a little strong since it was a close, close contest, with the Orange Crushers just edging out the banners by the Flashing Green team and The Peeps team. But, nonetheless, the Orange Crushers prevailed in this initial “survivor” challenge. The judging, done by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Stittsville News EMC news editor John Curry, was based on three criteria: originality, creativity and teamwork. The banner was to be designed to represent the team in the best way possible. All of the teams, it seems, deserve marks for creativity and originality in their names. Besides the Orange Crushers, Flashing Green and The Peeps, there are Women in Black, Red Hot Mommas, Blue Belles and The Sizzling Suns. Curves owner Vivienne Vanieris developed this “survivor” challenge to run over the summer in order to encourage members to work out at least three times a week during the summer months. Members were divided into seven teams, largely based on the time of day during which they usually work out at Curves. As an added bonus to the contest, Vivienne was hoping that forming the teams would help the members to get to know each other better. And this seems to have worked, because the team members collaborated on creating the banners. Indeed, the Blue Belles team even got together at a member’s home to come up with the team’s banner design. The banners also created some friendly rivalry between the teams. The Peeps, for instance, added a message associated with their banner that they eat oranges for breakfast, a not so subtle but friendly poke at their competitors, the Orange Crushers. Each team was encouraged to develop not only the

main banner but also to add any extra messages, photographs or artwork to go around the banner. The seven banners, each of which lists the names of the members on that particular team, are hung up around the workout studio at Curves. In this “Curves Survivor” contest, the teams will be given challenges throughout the summer. The contest will end on Aug. 31 at which time the winner will receive a free three month membership. Rules of the “Curves Survivor” contest include that a member must complete three workouts a week, although each member is granted one week for vacation. If a vacation is longer than a week, then the member must arrange for a teammate to make up for any missed workouts. Members are allowed to bank workouts so that four workouts in one week can mean that the member only needs to do two workouts in another week to stay in the game. For winning the banner contest, each member of the Orange Crushers received a bonus survivor sticker representing one workout. Members of the Orange Crushers team are Becky Bergeron, who is the team leader, Pat McGrath, Maria Rousso, Alana Baker, Cecilia Delfino, Kiera Delgaty, Kristy Hall, Kathy Johnson, Krista Keenan, Claire Murat, Gabriell Pilon and Nancy Rochhe. A second challenge for the teams has now been started and there will be two more challenges later in the summer. Curves in Stittsville is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street. Curves is a women’s fitness centre whose gym provides a total body workout in 30 minutes with both aerobic exercise for weight loss and strength training for toned muscles. A Curves workout involves an exercise plan that can burn up to 500 calories in just 30 minutes. Curves also offers its members a nutrition program for members. Curves tries to provide a complete solution for women to achieve their weight loss, fitness and health goals. Curves is the largest women’s fitness and health club program in the world with franchises in over 85 countries around the world.

Pail time in Stittsville thanks to Walk For Water John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Last Saturday was pail time in Stittsville. Or bucket time. Or can time. Or bottle time, as all of these containers and more, even a watering can, were used by those who participated in the first-ever Walk For Water organized by Stittsville’s Community Bible Church. It was all not only a fundraising event to raise money to bring clean water to the village of Seje in Kenya but also a learning event in which those involved were replicating in a way the walk that Seje villagers must make daily or even several times a day to fetch water from a nearby river. Walk For Water involved walking from the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street two kilometers to the storm water pond at Paul Lindsay Park on Trailway Circle, filling up a pail or bucket or can or bottle or whatever with water from the pond and then walking back to the church. And as Derek Pearsley, one of the participants, discovered, as did many others, carrying water for such a distance, something that those in Seje do regularly each day, is a strain on the muscles. Derek, who lugged two gallons of water back from the pond, admitted that it was enjoyable walking along and chatting with others on the route but admitted that his arms started to get sore from carrying the water. He noted how he can bathe in a water-filled bathtub at any time and not even think about the water and how it gets there. He said that Seje is so far away from Stittsville that it is hard to connect with the problems there but admitted

that this Walk For Water experience should help making the connection. Even the weather cooperated for this Walk For Water event, with sunny, warm weather prevailing for the morning activity. No doubt the weather in Seje in Kenya would be similar. The over 70 walkers who assembled at the church for the 9:30 a.m. start of this Walk for Water were welcomed by Neil Jackman who reminded them that at that moment in Seje, which is seven hours ahead of Stittsville on the clock, residents had probably walked two or three times that day to collect water from the river. Addressing the walkers from a farm wagon which would later be the stage for some musical entertainment for those at a fundraising BBQ following the walk, Mr. Jackman said that life is absolutely crippled if people do not have access to clean water. He cited the fact that a billion people around the world have no access to clean water and are left with a choice between dirty water and no water. But the dirty water causes illness and ultimately death. Mr. Jackman testified that in his case, he is involved in this Water For Life initiative because he believes that Scripture urges people to care for the poor. He said that God has blessed Canadians with a lot and in return he expects a lot from Canadians in helping others. Also sending the walkers on their way was city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who said that he was well aware of the necessity of clean water, having grown up in a developing country himself. He noted that

water is needed not only for drinking but for cooking and other actions. He urged everyone to have fun and enjoy the Walk For Water in the realization that they were doing a good deed by participating. Mr. Jackman led the walkers in a brief warm-up session, including dancing the movement-filled Macarena, in the area in front of the church before the walkers headed off along Stittsville Main Street with their pails, buckets, cans and other containers. There was a dog or two involved along with a stroller transporting eight month old Logan Peasley, pushed by his parents Whitney and Chris Peasley. The first walkers arrived at the pond at Paul Lindsay Park at 9:50 a.m., 20 minutes after leaving the church. Filling up their pails, buckets, cans or whatever other container from the water in the lily-pad dominated pond, they then made the return two kilometer walk back to the church, albeit now with a much heavier container. Water, it must be admitted, is heavy. Some, though, even tried carrying their water container on their heads, emulating the practice among women in Seje and other African countries where carrying water in such a way is a tradition. Back at the church, the walkers poured the water from their individual containers into tubs so that everyone could see just how much water was collected in total. This turned out to be 150 gallons of water altogether. In the tubs, the collected water was murky but no doubt so much cleaner than that which those in Seje collect daily from their polluted river. Most of the walkers had returned to the church

Initial accounting shows

that this Walk For Water event will raise over $7,000 for the church’s Seje partnership. In explaining the Walk For Water to members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at their meeting on Tuesday, June 19, a few days before the

actual event, Mr. Jackman said that the Walk For Water was being held not only as a fundraiser but as a way of trying to give people a little sense of what it is like day in and day out for those living in Seje as they fetch their water. He told the Rotarians that since water is a simple thing for Canadians, we tend not to appreciate the life that it affords us to live. For many in the world, water brings death, he says, noting that water related diseases are the biggest killer of people in the world today. The soil conditions are not conducive to drilling a well to solve Seje’s water problem. So water is now being pumped from the river two kilometers to holding tanks, a project that involved the Seje community, the community Bible Church and the technical expertise of Water Missions International, an engineering relief and development non-profit Christian organization. The Walk For Water is raising funds to double the capacity of this system so another 500 people can be served. The water, which is purified by chlorination, is pumped using solar energy. A future phase will see pipelines run to other distribution points in the community. Seje is a cluster of five villages with a population about 5,000 people in total. It is predominately Christian. Sitting on a ridge about 150 feet above the Yala River valley, the ground is typically dry and rocky. ecause drilling wells is unsuitable, people historically have spent hours each day walking several kilometers to draw water from the river which in itself is not clean.

It is recommended that the berries are placed in the coolest spot in your car for your journey home. It is actually best for the berries to go straight home and be placed in a fridge or very cool spot. If you are making jam or freezing the berries - the sooner the better. Pick you berry farms use lots of clean straw between rows of plants to keep berries and pickers clean and dry. Bring along a camera to capture special moments. Most farms have picnic tables, so a snack or lunch is a great way to celebrate a "job" well done. Most Important Tip: Fresh air, lovely red strawberries, beautiful country setting, and happy pickers... it all adds up to a very pleasant summer outing.

Legion members to Nova Scotia Barb Vant’Slot Special to the News

EMC news - Fourteen Stittsville Legion members recently travelled to Nova Scotia where branch president Norm Fortin and secretary Bev Currie attended the Dominion Convention of the Royal Canadian Legion. Twelve went to enjoy a wonderful holiday and see the sights. The first visit was to Pier 21 where many war rides arrived in Canada. I myself was thrilled to see where my mother Rosemary Morin arrived with me at four months of age, seeing our names listed on the manifest of the Queen Mary. I received a framed copy of the page. Next stop was Peggy’s Cove where everyone paid

their respects to the tragic plane crash victims there. Everyone had a great time on the trip, arriving home safe and sound. Legion Branch 25 in Edmundston, New Brunswick, was a Legion that everyone visited on the trip. We were welcomed royally by president Jean Marie St. Onge and his wife Nicole, along with secretary and bar tender Gisele Deshene. They were a great group of hard working, warm-hearted Legion members. On our way home, we stopped in again and met the vice-president Leo D. Allain and his wife Jacqueline. Also visiting that Legion were Gary Kellar of Branch 624 in Wilberforce and Larry Lamble of Branch 30 in Port Hope.

Mary Cook’s Memories EMC Lifestyle - Early in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs. He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready. The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields. Likely the binder or the hay mower would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before. Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area, and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the West Hill, he was in another part of the country. He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.� On week days, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take the 11-quart basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite a feast, I thought back then. Father and I would share the lunch together. But during the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the fields in the farthest reaches of our farm. My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores. There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out and made ready for the night, the calves and pigs to be fed, and fresh straw put in the stalls. My sister Audrey and I were expected to wash out the milk pails and the cream separator, put fresh cheese cloth under the lids of the milk cans, making sure everything was secure. Mother lived in constant dread that somehow a mouse would get into the milk can during the night, which Father said was an impossibility since the lids fit so tightly. But she wasn’t taking any chances, thus the cheesecloth was extra protection. We would have our supper without Father these nights. He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table. But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door.

exercises such as walking, running or jumping without proper recovery. For example, if a triathlete takes a hiatus from running for 3 months and starts training again by running everyday for 5km without proper rest, their legs would likely not be able to handle the sudden increase in stress. When the body cannot strengthen the bone fast enough to keep up with the stress being placed on them, shin splints occur. Other factors that may contribute to shin splints include at feet, old shoes, running or walking on hard surfaces, tight calf muscles and weak ankle stabilizers. Preferred treatment for shin splints typically includes ice

My sister Audrey would have to say Grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our supper meal. Long after we had eaten, and redded up the kitchen, and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see just a speck, and then I would see him coming over the West hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound. “He’s home,� I would yell. Everett would get up and go out to the barn yard and take the team from Father, feed them oats, and let them drink from the watering trough and then take them into the barn for the night. Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dust bin. He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water. I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black. He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off, and it would look like he didn’t have another ounce of strength in his body. Mother would put a steaming supper before him, and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample was the meal, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body. I used to think a long day in the fields made him look much older than he really was. At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper reading the paper, with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back fields from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed. I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before, and would happen many days hence. Although I didn’t understand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land, and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days. And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father...that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going, and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

Shin Splints: Running Into Problems? Lower leg pain, commonly referred to as ‘shin splints’, is an overuse injury that irritates many a runner or athlete. Shin splint pain can be classiďŹ ed into four stages based on severity: 1. Light pain or stiffness after exercise. 2. Pain at the beginning of exercise, disappearing during the warm-up. 3. Pain during and following exercise, and pain at night. Pain disappears after long rest and inactivity. 4. Constant pain. The pain does not disappear after rest. Shin splints occur when excessive loading and stress is placed on the lower leg bone (tibia) during weight bearing

Try this Canada Day strawberry cake

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff

This red and white strawberry cake is a perfect way to celebrate Canada Day. The recipe came from a very good friend whose name is also Pat and it’s always on the menu on Canada Day. This is one of the best cakes I’ve ever tasted. The ingredients are readily available – frozen strawberries, a white cake mix, strawberry Jello powder, eggs and oil. Topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it’s a terrific red and white dessert for July 1. Keep the ingredients on hand though because it’s so easy and so good you’ll want to make it for other occasions too. Strawberry Canada Day Cake 1 super-moist white cake mix (enough for 2 layers) 1 package of frozen strawberries (or 2 cups of frozen berries) 85 gm package strawberry Jello, or other jelly powder 1/3 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 1 cup whipping cream About 12 fresh whole strawberries, hulled and washed Partially thaw the strawberries before you

start everything else. Grease and lightly flour a 33-by-20-centimetre cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Jello powder, oil and eggs. Pour off any juice from the berries and add this to the bowl. With an electric mixer, mix the cake batter for two minutes. Turn the bowl occasionally to ensure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Fold the partially-thawed berries into the cake batter, then spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 325 F (160 C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Since it’s easiest to serve this cake right from the pan, cool it completely in the pan. The cake can be baked a day ahead. If you make it in advance, wait until an hour or so before serving to finish it off. To finish the cake, in a small bowl, beat the whipping cream until it holds its shape. Spread this over the top of the cake. Arrange the strawberries on top of the whipped cream with the tips pointing up. The berries can also be sliced and arranged so that every slice of cake will have berries on it. Keep chilled until serving time. Serves 12-14.

SVA director supports plan for Main Street John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The idea of creation of a community design plan for Stittsville Main Street is going over well with David Jenkins, the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) director who monitors and comments on planning issues. He called the proposal for a community design plan for Stittsville Main Street, which was first proposed at a recent village planning meeting organized by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, as a “very welcome initiative” when reporting on the meeting at the SVA’s most recent executive meeting. Mr. Jenkins said that given the recent history of traffic and planning problems along Stittsville Main Street, a community design plan giving rational direction to development along the street would be a welcome initiative. He even went farther than that, saying that such a community design plan for Stittsville Main Street should be accompanied by an overall traffic study involving the street. Mr. Jenkins was wary of city of Ottawa planning staff comments at the recent meeting dealing with planning and development in Stittsville. At this meeting city staff suggested that zoning along Stittsville Main Street needs to be

He said that a main problem is “after the fact rezoning which really upsets people,” explaining that Stittsville Main Street was given specific zoning with certain height and setback restrictions to which the city planning staff agreed at the time. However, Mr. Jenkins pointed out, the first developer who wanted to exceed the 11 metre height restriction got approval to go to a 15 metre height for a development. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, speaking at the SVA meeting, said that a community design plan for Stittsville Main Street will give direction for development and that the street will develop as envisioned in the community design plan. He said that the community design plan will be developed with input from the community, suggesting that the process to develop such a community design plan for Stittsville Main Street will probably begin in the late fall with some community meetings.

RELOCATE TO

MISSISSIPPI MILLS Increasingly, young families and baby boomers are moving out of the city and opting to downsize into homes with exceptional value in friendly communities in the National Capital Region. Mississippi Mills is one such community, which is located about 35 minutes from downtown Ottawa and 20 minutes from Kanata. The Town of Mississippi Mills is a diverse community of rural and small towns covering 500 square kilometres of land just West of Ottawa. It was created with the amalgamation of the Wards of Pakenham, Almonte, and Ramsay in Lanark County.

Benefits to Moving to Mississippi Mills 1. Mississippi Mills is recognized for its natural and architectural beauty, quality of life, and respect for its heritage and environment. People of all ages will enjoy visiting and exploring this wonderful region. Outdoor activities are abundant in the area, thus attracting avid hikers, cyclers, swimmers, fishermen and golfers.

It is an ideal location for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and maintain their proximity to all major city amenities, like restaurants, pubs, grocery stores, and shopping malls. It is a convenient alternative to city living for those who work in the West End of Ottawa, or in the surrounding area, such as Kanata, Nepean, Stittsville, and Carp.

3. “Mississippi Mills is special because there is a unique sense of connection between its residents,� says Doug McIntosh, co-owner of Neilcorp Homes, a local home builder. He also adds that, “People get to know their neighbours. They get involved in community events and there’s always lots to do, making it a community in the truest sense of the word. This is exactly what families are looking for.� 4. Moving to the area doesn’t mean giving up the creature comforts we are accustomed to in the city. “Our lots are fully equipped with the municipal services you find in the city, including water, sewers, high-speed Internet and natural gas,� McIntosh assures. 5. There is a lot of selection with regard to housing in the area. Neilcorp Homes alone is currently developing 3 housing communities in Almonte.

Mothercraft’s annual Touch-aTruck event was held this year on June 10th at Lincoln Fields. This year the event surpassed all records for attendance and earning. Mothercraft reports that this year’s event drew 4000 people. This is a 25% increase from last year’s attendance. As a result, proďŹ ts improved dramatically. In fact, this year’s revenues were more than three times last year’s earning. Mothercraft Ottawa points out that the event’s success is based on several factors, including great weather and advertising. Co-organizer Shannon MacFarlane suggest that it’s organizations donating their time and their vehicles that makes the event possible: “It’s the great vehicles that really draw people. Without the support of our community, this wouldn’t happen. This year we had over 50 vehicles on site and the support of more than 20 organizations which really shows the generosity of the communityâ€? Mothercraft also suggests that the overwhelming support of volunteers is an important factor in the event’s success.

Approximately 60 volunteers were involved in every element of the event from the planning to the clean up. MacFarlane sums up the importance of the volunteers saying “We are a small organization and without people coming out and giving us their time, we really don’t know how we would run this amazing event.� Mothercraft is happy the event was successful and that people really liked it. “We’ve received a lot of positive feedback about the event from people who attended. One lady wrote to us just to tell how much her son loved it and how she would never forget watching her son and his friend

run hand-in-hand to the trucks. It’s really touching.� The Touch-a-Truck event supports Mothercraft’s Birth and Parent Companion programs which support marginalized and isolated expectant mothers and families in the community. Money raised from the Touch-a-Truck event goes to supporting these women who face a pregnancy, delivery and parenting alone or with little support . Mothercraft plans to hold the event next year and expects it to be an even more exciting day for everyone in the community.

Oscar Peterson comes to Stittsville thanks to John Chmaj John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Oscar Peterson came to Stittsville last Friday, June 22. Well, not Oscar Peterson himself since this legendary Canadian jazz pianist and composer passed away in 2007 but his presence was very much in Stittsville as his music reverberated through the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) thanks to the keyboard magic of John Chmaj. This Seattle-based jazz pianist announced when he began playing that he was launching a new project of his that evening, namely presenting a tribute to the great Oscar Peterson, who in his career lasting over 60 years released over 200 recordings, won eight Grammy Awards and was considered one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.

John Chmaj’s tribute to Oscar Peterson session included all pieces from Oscar Peterson’s repertoire except for one, an original tune called “Victoria Day� that John himself had composed recently right here in Stittsville. And so while it was John Chmaj and not Oscar Peterson at the keyboard, it was very much familiar Oscar Peterson’s tunes, played in a robust, energetic adventurous piano style, that filled the air at the Gaia Java Coffee shop, causing toes to tap, fingers to rap and lips to smile among the crowd which grew quickly to over 50 as the evening, with its 7 p.m. start, progressed. The Oscar Peterson tribute began with “On Green Dolphin Street,�, the 1947 song written for a movie of that name that became a jazz standard and was recorded by a litany of jazz greats including Oscar Peterson. He followed this up with a song more commonly associated with Frank

Sinatra but one also done by Oscar, namely “Fly Me To The Moon.� Next came one of Oscar Peterson’s favourites, “Night Train,� with its rousing rhythms as interpreted by John Chmaj resonating through the Gaia Java Coffee shop. And if this were not enough, John followed it up by making his keyboard sing with a ballad “Polka Dots and Moonbeans,� a 1940 song which was Frank Sinatra’s first hit with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and which has since become a jazz standard. After John Chmaj played his original new song “Victoria Day,� giving it what he termed was its world premiere, he returned to his Oscar Peterson tribute, finishing up this initial portion of his Gaia Java Coffee shop appearance with two jazz and Oscar Peterson standards, “Georgia On My Mind� and “Sweet Georgia Brown,� the last a rousing tune played at a torrid pace

with his hands flying across the keys, bringing on a robust burst of applause and shouts of approval from the audience when it was finished. This initial 40 minute performance by John Chmaj was followed by the vocal jazz group Quintessence which performed a cappella, beginning with the song “Happy Together,� a 1967 tune made famous by the group The Turtles. Members of Quintessence include Paul Jay and Paul Melsness, owners of Gaia Java Coffee Company, Susan Mayo, Jean-Francois Fauteux, Barbara Jovaisas and Marion Xhignesse. They were followed by a return of pianist John Chmaj who accompanied the offerings of two talented horn players, both of whom are graduating from Nepean High School, namely Claire Devlin on saxophone and Emily Denison on trumpet. The evening wrapped up

with a jam session with everyone involved – John Chmaj, Quintessence and the two horn players. Jazz pianist John Chmaj, who is from Seattle, is a seasoned professional pianist on the American jazz scene. He is currently working in Ottawa and this was the third time that he has played at Gaia Java Coffee in Stittsville. Gaia Java Coffee co-owner

Paul Jay explained at last Friday’s musical evening that several months ago, John Chmaj had simply walked into the shop and simply asked if they had entertainment at times in the shop. He has now played at the shop three times. These evening musical events which Gaia Java Coffee Company stages in its premises are free of charge, with no cover charge.

LOCATED BETWEEN ARNPRIOR & RENFREW 3 MINUTES OFF HWY #17 AT 1370 SCHEEL DRIVE

EMC news - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) expects to end up with about $4,000 from the sale of rain barrels which it organized this past spring. Over 400 barrels were sold, with the pickup day being held at the Sobeys parking lot in Stittsville on Saturday, April 28. The SVA is still waiting to settle up with the rain barrel supplier to determine its profits from the sale. Proceeds from the rain barrel sale will be used by the SVA for expenses related to the annual community events which it sponsors such as Villagefest, the Christmas Parade of Lights and Art and Authors in the Park. SVA secretary Tanya Hein first suggested the idea of a rain barrel sale by the SVA and who headed the initiative for the SVA. The SVA may organize another rain barrel sale next year, although no decision has yet been made on the matter.

Special to the News

EMC news - Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations are here. There’s a full schedule of entertainment lined up, starting at 3:30 p.m. and running through to the gala fireworks display around 9:45 p.m., all taking place this Sunday, July 1st, Canada Day on the front grounds at Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in

Stittsville. The entertainment will include a magician, the Stittsville Concert Band, highland dancers, a couple of other bands, a puppeteer, the Chad Wolfe Dancers and Stittsville’s own entertainers Kyle and Joel Curry. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP the Hon. Gordon O’Connor will be at the 3 p.m. opening ceremony, along with city of Ottawa Stittsville

ward councillor Shad Qadri. The Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville will once again this year be held at the front of Sacred Heart High School. This was where the celebrations were held last year after the former site on the south side of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex was unavailable due to construction of the new second ice pad.

Saturday, July 7th deadline for Garden and Landscaping Contest John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The seventh annual Richmond Village Garden and Landscaping Contest is now underway but the deadline date for being involved is fast approaching. So, you have to act fairly quickly if you want to be part of this year’s contest which is organized by the Richmond Village Association (RVA). Saturday, July 7 is the deadline date for registering your home for this year’s contest. Registration forms are available online at the RVA website or printed copies are available at various Richmond area businesses. Completed registration forms can be submitted by dropping them off in the garden contest boxes at King’s valu-mart at the Richmond Plaza, at the Richmond Nursery at the corner of Richmond Road and Eagleson Road or at Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens on Ottawa Street at Eagleson Road. Any property owner or occupant within the boundaries of Richmond may enter this contest. There are two categories in the contest, residential front and/or side yards for one and residential backyards for the other. Entries can

be submitted in both categories, although they will be judged separately. The judging will be taking place from July 8 to July 21 for front and side yards and on July 21 or July 28 for backyards. For backyards, viewing times will be pre-arranged with occupant attendance required. Judges for the contest will be knowledgeable volunteers from the Richmond community. Criteria for the judging will be beauty, tidiness, originality and environmental sensitivity. Both horticultural and the physical aspects of the gardens and landscaping will be judged according to these criteria. Physical aspects includes stonework and rock walls. Prizes will be awarded for winners in each category (residential front and/or side yards and residential backyards). Photos of the winning entries will be displayed on the RVA website and will be on display at the RVA booth at the 2012 Richmond Fair. At its last Board of Directors meeting, the RVA approved providing $400 toward prizes for this annual Garden and Landscaping Contest. It also has $200 in its budget for advertizing costs for the contest.

July community blood donor clinics coming in Stittsville and Richmond Special to the News

EMC news - Community blood donor clinics are coming up in July in both Stittsville and Richmond. A Canadian Blood Services clinic will be held on Friday, July 20 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church on Burke Street at the corner of Fortune Street in Richmond. Then, on Monday, July 23, a Canadian Blood Services clinic will be held in the gymnasium at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville, running from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Those wishing to donate blood at either one of these clinics can book an appointment

online at www.blood.ca or should call 1-8882DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to book an appointment. Every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment.

CAT OF THE WEEK

R0011478785

Canada Day entertainment, fireworks in Stittsville

SACHS! This dapper gentlemen was found abandoned in a locked cat carrier in the countryside even his name was marked on the carrier... we kept it. He could have been torn into pieces by a fisher... We were lucky to find him. Approximately three years young and he was also declawed. He is trying so hard to be adopted.. Every time some one comes he makes every effort to touch them with his paw, give head butts and glues himself to them.... Yes! they notice him but then another feline gets into the picture and steals them away from him. Last two times he had even packed his belongings... Maybe the 3rd. time will be the lucky charm ! He is so sweet, attentive and affectionate not to mention handsome; who gets him will be so lucky to be loved by him.... Maybe he is waiting for you!

Check out the website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. We are looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.
