EMC sports - This Friday, July 27 not only marks the opening of the Olympics in London but also has a connection to Richmond’s Olympic gold medal winner. That’s because July 27, albeit in the year 1858, is the birth date in Richmond of George Seymour Lyon, Canada’s and indeed the world’s only Olympic gold medalist in golf. There is also a connection between George Seymour Lyon and London. While he won his Olympic gold medal in golf at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis in the United States, he could very

easily have been a two-time Olympic gold medalist at the 1908 Olympics in London. But he honourably refused to accept the gold medal. Gold was on the program for these 1908 Olympics in London but George Lyon from Canada turned out to be the only entrant in the competition due to a boycott of the Games by British golfers. As the only entrant in the competition, he was offered the gold medal, which would have been his second straight Olympic gold medal in golf but his sense of fair play saw him turn it down. Golf never returned to the Olympics and so, as things now stand, George

Seymour Lyon, born in Richmond, is the only Olympic gold medalist in golf. This will change at the 2016 Olympics when golf is once again on the Olympic program. While born in Richmond, George Seymour Lyon spent most of his life in Toronto where he gained a reputation as a superb all-round athlete, including prowess on the golf course. He was, though, a late comer to the sport of golf, only taking up the sport in 1896 when a friend dared him to hit a golf ball. This one swipe led to an enthusiasm for the game that stayed with him for the rest of his life, leading not only to numerous Canadian ama-

teur golf championships but also to the one and only Olympic golf medal to date. He was 46 years old in 1904 when he became the only person in history to win an Olympic gold medal in golf and recorded Canada’s first international golf victory. In the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States, George Lyon was one of 87 golfers who played in the qualifying round. George finished seventh among the 32 qualifiers who went on to compete against each other in a match play format. See GEORGE, page 6

Artist Alain Bernard likes to do night scenes John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - He doesn’t paint in the dark but some of his work features the dark. Indeed, Alain Bernard, who is a member of the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa), is known for his paintings of nighttime scenes. “I like to do night scenes,� Alain says and his website at www.galeriebernard.net/ does show a couple of paintings of nighttime scenes such as one of the Rideau Canal in winter and another of Sussex Street in the deepening dusk. He admits that there are not a lot of artists who focus on nighttime scenes but he finds that with late evening or nighttime scenes, he can do a lot with the lighting that

prevails in the scene including the glow from street lights. “I like doing that a lot,� he says about how he tries to portray the lighting of a nighttime scene. But it is in all of his work, whether nighttime or daytime, that he tries to capture the aspects of the lighting that prevails in the scene. In the current exhibition entitled “Did You Say HOT� at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, Alain does not have a nighttime scene on display but rather a daytime Ottawa scene. However, even this work, entitled “Juillet en ville,� features a contrast between light and shadows. Indeed, it was the lighting that prevailed at the scene in R0011514875

the early morning that first attracted Alain to notice the scene and then decide to capture it on canvas. Alain, who has been painting since his teenage years, although he took something of a break when work and family became priorities, has been painting again seriously now for about ten years. He used to use only oils but now uses both oils and acrylics, sometimes in the same painting. He makes the decision about using oils or acrylics depending on the effect that he wants to try to capture in the work. For instance, when he is painting a scene that includes water, he turns to oils. Alain usually has one or two paintings on the go at any one time. He tries to paint every day but since he is still working full time, this is sometimes difficult to do, so it usually works out to two or three times a week. But with his studio at home, he has easy access to it whenever he has the time. He always takes photographs of the scenes that he paints as they help him capture the scene when he is back in his studio doing the painting. But once he has decided on what he wants to capture in the painting, he abandons the photographs as they are no longer needed. Alain says that the key to painting is to be able to attract

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals presented john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Two residents of Stittsville and a resident of Richmond have received Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals. They were presented along with 13 others to residents of Woodlawn, Ottawa, Almonte, Kanata and Carp by CarletonMississippi Mills MP Hon. Gordon O’Connor at a ceremony on Parliament Hill on Thursday evening, July 19. Receiving these Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals were Mrs. Patricia Racine and Colonel Andrew Nellestyn, both residents of Stittsville, along with Akrum Ghadban of Richmond. Patricia Racine received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for her volunteer work and for her courage and alertness in saving the life of a toddler in 2011. Mrs. Racine has volunteered with Ottawa-area French school boards for 16 years. Her main focus when volunteering has been to ensure that children with learning difficulties and their parents are well guided in the education system. Owner of a home daycare, Mrs. Racine’s quick action on July 17, 2011 saved the life of a youngster. She was working in her backyard when she heard a panicked cry for help from a neighbour. A young

child had just been pulled from a pool but was not breathing. She initiated CPR at which point the child began to breathe before the arrival of paramedics on the scene. Her quick action had prevented a possible tragedy. Colonel Andrew Nellestyn was the co-producer of the 52-episode documentary “The Veterans” which premiered to high acclaim at the Canadian War Museum’s 2011 Remembrance Day program and has been adopted in Ontario schools as part of their Re-

membrance Day programs. Col. Nellestyn has received many honours for his contributions to the military and his international work including the Professional Engineers of Ontario Citizenship Award. He was made an honourary citizen of Egypt by then-president Anwar Sadat and he has been inducted into the Order of St. John of Jerusalem with the rank of Officer. Akrum Ghadban of Richmond has received the

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to build resilience to extremism through his work in the RCMP’s National Security Section. In 2005, Mr. Ghadban was an investigator with the Special Court for Sierra Leone, spending 12 months in Africa leading investigative teams dealing with the diamond trade and the civil war in Sierra Leone. In 2007, he represented Canada at the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation, training Indonesian police officers. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal program has been implemented in Canada this year as a way of honouring the Queen’s 60 year reign as Queen of Canada and her service and dedication to this country. The program also celebrates Canadian achievements over the past 60 years. A total of 60,000 Diamond Jubilee Medals are being presented this year, 1,000 for each of the Queen’s 60 years of service. The Medals recognize the service of Canadians from all walks of life and backgrounds who have made significant contributions to their communities. The achievements of youth in Canada who are actively contributing to society is also a focus of the program.

Gordon O’Connor. “The Diamond Jubilee reminds us of Her Majesty’s service to Canada and the central role of the Crown throughout the decades in our ongoing evolution as a country.” This is only the second Diamond Jubilee of a monarch celebrated in Canada. Queen

Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The Chancellery of Honours, part of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General, is administering the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal program. Members of Parliament like the Hon. Gordon O’Connor received nominations from members of the public about individuals considered worthy of his new national honour.

George Lyon and Olympic gold Continued from page 1

George Lyon defeated F.C. Newton of Seattle in semiďŹ nal play and then played Chandler Egan, the reigning United States amateur champion, in the gold medal ďŹ nal, winning three up with two holes to go and capturing the Olympic gold medal. He made some remarkable shots during his Olympic play. For instance, he drove the 276 yard ďŹ rst green four times during his matches while in his semi-ďŹ nal match, his drive on the 327 yard eighth hole ďŹ nished up hole high. “His spectacular hitting, more than any other single factor, led to his greatest single achievement in golf,â€? S.F. Wise and Douglas Fisher wrote about George Lyon’s gold medal win in the 1904 Olympics at the Glen Echo Golf Club in St. Louis in their book “Canada’s Sporting Heroes.â€? It was his power off the tee

and his superb long iron play that really set George Lyon apartment from the ďŹ eld in this Olympic golf championship and indeed in his golďŹ ng career in general, although he was also known for deadly putting at times. He was also noted as well for his ability to get out of trouble on the course. His competitive, albeit friendly, nature made him a ďŹ rst class match play golfer. That he knew how to have a good time is perhaps best conveyed by the fact what when he was called up to accept his golďŹ ng gold medal at the 1904 Olympics, he did so by doing a handstand down the aisle. But then, he was also talented in such athletic pursuits as he had set a national pole vault record in 1876 when he was just 18 years old. Some of his golďŹ ng ability may have come from the fact that he was a ďŹ rst class cricket player. During 11 years of

international competition, George Lyon was one of Canada’s best known cricket players. Once, in 1894, in a match in Toronto, he carried his bat for 238, setting a national record. Indeed, there were few sports at which George Seymour Lyon did not excel. He was one of the best amateur baseball players in the Toronto area in the 1880’s. He also excelled in football and hockey as well as lawn bowling, tennis and curling. In curling, he even won the coveted Ontario Tankard representing the provincial championship. But it is for golf for which George Lyon is best known, not only because of his Olympic gold medal win in 1904 but also because he won the Canadian amateur golf championship eight times during the period of 1898 to 1914 and then went on to win the Canadian senior golf championship ten times during the period of 1918 to 1932. He also ďŹ nished

second four times during this period. In 1906, George Lyon came close to winning the prestigious United States amateur golf championship. The week of competition saw him being defeated in the ďŹ nal, with the match being decided on the very last hole. George Lyon served as president of the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1923. When Canada’s Golf Hall of Fame was established in 1971, heading the selections was Richmond-born George Seymour Lyon of Toronto. “George Lyon has done more for Canadian golf than any other exponent of the Royal and Ancient game in the Commonwealth,â€? wrote L.V. Kavanagh in his book “History of Golf in Canada.â€? George Lyon was also inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and in 1996 was inducted into the Goulbourn Sports Wall of Fame.

Visualize a cool, clear, Sunday afternoon as you prepare to head out for a jog. Your running shoes are tightly tied and right before you begin, you complete your usual stretching routine: one or two minutes of hamstring and calf stretches, and then you’re off. Right? Wrong! A cold muscle should never be stretched in any way. You should always complete a warmup before you stretch. Contrary to popular belief, stretching is not warming up; it is only one part of your warm up. A proper warm up typically includes 5 minutes of aerobic activities such as running in place

The Munster elementary School community also recently was generous for the school’s Jump Rope for Heart event, which raises funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Munster Elemen-

place for static stretching is after your workout or athletic event. Static stretches should be held for approximately 30 seconds to obtain maximal muscle lengthening and exibility. A visit to yourlocal Family Physiotherapist can help maximize your exibility and prevent injury by developing a detailed stretching regimen for you to follow.

Landfill ‘hot button issue’ for Stittsville Village Association john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Mention of Waste Management’s proposed new landfill site on the Carp Road set off a lengthy discussion at the last meeting of the executive of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). At its conclusion, SVA president Marilyn Jenkins summed up the prolonged discussion with the observation that the landfill is “always a hot button issue” around the SVA table. It all got started at this particular meeting with what was an update about the ongoing Environmental Assessment process regarding the proposed new landfill site on Carp Road. It was announced that Waste Management would not be submitting its final Environmental Assessment document for the project during the summer. Once it is submitted, there will be a seven week public comment period and a five week period for a response from the Ministry of the Environment. This announcement brought forth comments from SVA immediate past president Metin Akgun who noted that landfill is an environmentally bad solution for waste disposal, particularly at that Carp Road site. He said that this Carp Road site would never be approved as the site for a totally new landfill these days because of the geology of the area. He expressed the hope that the city of Ottawa will oppose this new landfill for the Carp Road site on the grounds that it will create a problem for the city in the long term. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was in attendance at the SVA meeting, noted that the decision on whether the new landfill is allowed at Waste Management’s Carp Road site is out of the city’s hands, with the province being the deciding body for landfills directed at industrial and commercial waste. Councillor Qadri said that he has been opposing any expansion of the Carp Road site since it was first suggested as he, like Mr. Akgun, sees the perils of a landfill site in the future. He said that the city will be submitting comments on the Waste Management Environmental Assessment. He himself would like to see the capacity of the proposed new landfill reduced as diversion rates for waste increase. He said that he will urged city staff to emphasize this in any comments made. Councillor Qadri also said that Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren now appears to be open to looking at other waste treatment technologies in the future. He also suggested that the SVA in conjunction with the coalition of community groups that is opposing the proposed new landfill should put together a letter about

their opposition to the proposal that would be presented to Ontario’s environment minister at an upcoming Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference being held in Ottawa. Councillor Qadri noted that Waste Management is calling this new landfill the West Carleton Environmental Centre which he says implies that diversion will be taking place. However, he pointed out that the draft Environmental Assessment by Waste Management makes no commitment to diversion, only saying that if markets develop for diverted materials, then recycling might be implemented. He also criticized the draft Environmental Assessment for stating that the proposed new landfill will serve all of Ontario. He said that the city supports the landfill being used by neighbouring communities such as those in adjacent Lanark County but not for municipalities like Toronto.

Councillor Qadri said that while costs for other technologies such as incineration may increase the cost of waste disposal, he said that no one has identified the cost involved if the quality of life of area residents is affected because of landfill odours, making it impossible for them to enjoy their neighbourhood. SVA vice-president Phil Sweetnam pointed out that Waste Management, if it gets provincial approval for the new landfill at the Carp Road site, will have to post a letter of credit to ensure against adverse environmental impacts from the landfill. He said that if there are odours problems from the new landfill, then there should be substantial fines levied against Waste Management and there also should be some form of community compensation given. He said that having a good clay cover on the waste deposited in a landfill is the best way to control any odours.

Shootings cause for concern, not revolution

A

recent spike in the number of gangrelated shootings in Toronto and Ottawa has alarmed both residents and the police forces in those cities. Toronto police are investigating the third shooting death in that city over a span of three days, the city’s 30th homicide in 2012. The same day he called Toronto “the safest city in the world,� Toronto Mayor Rob declared war on gang-related

crime. The mayor called for a meeting with Premier Dalton McGuinty to request support for a crackdown on gang violence. Meanwhile, in Ottawa, the police issued a report last month naming the city one of the safest municipalities in Canada. But police have also expressed alarm over the number of shootings this year. There have been 27 shootings in Ottawa so far this

year, four more than all of 2011. More than half of this year’s shootings are gang-related, said Ottawa police, including one last week during a car chase at Fisher Avenue near Baseline Road. The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit has investigated four more shootings than it has compared to all of last year. But this isn’t a citywide epidemic – the gang-related shootings are occurring in

specific neighbourhoods, such as South Keys, and some of the other older suburbs in south Ottawa. Despite the spike in the number of shootings in Ottawa, we don’t see the need for a knee-jerk reaction, as seems to be suggested by Mayor Ford. The solution seems simple: reallocate more resources to the city’s trouble spots. This could mean beefing up proactive policing efforts in Ottawa neighbourhoods hit

with gang-related violence or assigning more officers to the guns and gangs unit patrolling those areas. Ottawa’s crime statistics don’t call for a drastic change. This is a geographicallyspecific problem requiring a localized solution. The spike in shootings does not demand a kneejerk reaction that is more political than anything else. A similar spike in the police budget is unlikely. Keep in mind the provin-

cial government is desperately trying to trim its budget to help reduce Ontario’s deficit. Similarly, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has set a 2.5 per cent cap on the municipality’s annual budget – including the police force. Next year’s draft police budget calls for a 5.6 per cent increase, which will have to be trimmed by $6 million to meet the budget cap. There isn’t much room either in the province or the municipality to go on a hiring spree. It’s up to our police chief to figure out how to best allocate the limited resources he has.

COLUMN

It isn’t a race – or is it? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

B

y now, having lived a bit, you know that the world is divided into two kinds of people. There are those who stay in the lane they are in and those who keep jumping to what they hope is a faster one. This summer, you are likely to find out which you are, and how to deal with the other kind. The Queensway, of course, is a classic testing ground. Driving west or east from downtown at rush hour, you are continually faced with choices. Is the left-hand lane really a passing lane, or will it just be clogged with people who hope it is? The right-hand will end eventually. Will you stay on it until the bitter end and then barge into traffic, or will you move over earlier? The lane beside you seems to be moving a bit better. Will you jump over into it, or just stay where you are and hope for the best? It depends on what type you are, and in some ways, you probably don’t have as much choice as you thought you had. Your genes might predetermine what you do. Or the way you were taught to drive by your mother or father. Those of us who make one choice and stick to it require a mature outlook, because it means we have to accept the fact that other people, the lane-changers, might get there before us and we have to keep the difficult belief that it doesn’t matter if they do. In other words, it isn’t a competition. Raised in a society where competition dominates our economic life and professional sports permeate our society, it is a tough deci-

sion to decide that you are not playing. But it is a relief in a way. Take the border, for example. There you are, sitting in four or five or seven lanes of traffic for half an hour or maybe even more. The guy in front just moved one lane left, making an obstacle of himself while doing so. You stay where you are, partly because you don’t want to be that guy and partly because you may not have the nerve to do what he did. And you remind yourself it isn’t a competition. Because what does it matter if he’s sailing freely along the 401 two minutes before you are? But still, you watch him, in his huge ugly black SUV. Sometimes your line moves and you seem to be catching up with him. But then his line moves and moves again and you are losing sight of him, even though it isn’t a competition. Coming the other way, there are those people sneaking along on the side where it didn’t look like there even was a line. Are they jumping the queue or just part of the NEXUS line? It takes coolness, a strong-will and just a bit of inertia to stay where you are. Eventually, as you need to remind yourself, you get through and all is forgotten, even your nagging little wish that he’ll have his car searched by the customs people or maybe get a flat tire down the road. (As an aside, if you’re coming back this way, you discover that the drivers are faster and crazier up here than down there, a reversal of the national stereotypes.) Somehow one of our basic needs is to feel that we are smarter than the other guy. That either means that we applaud ourselves for getting ahead in the line or we pity the guy who gets ahead in the line because he must have a miserable life if he has to get his fun getting ahead of us. In the end, we both get there. But when we do, one of us keeps pushing the elevator button when it doesn’t arrive right away and the other just waits. The elevator gets there too.

$495 donation to Wild Bird Care Centre Wild Bird Care Centre opened at the Stoney Swamp Conservation Area. Today over 3500 birds representing over 100 different species pass through the Centre’s care each year. The primary mission of the Wild Bird Care Centre is to assess, treat and rehabilitate sick, orphaned or injured wild birds before releasing them back to the wild. The Wild Bird Care Centre has memberships and also accepts donations. A single membership costs $25 while family memberships are $40. Donations and membership fees are both tax deductible. Membership requests and payments as well as donations should be directed to the Wild Bird Care Centre, P.O. Box 11159, Nepean, Ontario K2H 7T9. The Wild Bird Care Centre is constantly in need of supplies for its operation.

These food supplies include fresh eggs, cod liver oil, wild bird seed, fresh berries, frozen corn, canned dog food and baby pablum. Red grapes are also a standard need. In fact, many birds who arrived at the Centre eat grapes before eating any other food. Grapes are tasty, sweet and often provide the sugar and uids needed to

EMC news - On Thursday, July 12, as a group of youngsters in Richmond were selling lemonade and cookies to raise funds for the Wild Bird Care Centre, a ďŹ re that had broken out in the Stoney Swamp area in the Greenbelt was threatening to force an evacuation of the Wild Bird Care Centre and its feathered inhabitants. An evacuation turned out to be unnecessary but even eight days’ later, when the Richmond youngsters went to the Wild Bird Care Centre on Moodie Drive near West Hunt Club Road last Friday to formally present the $495 which they had raised with their lemonade/cookie stand, there was a ďŹ re hose lying along the access road to the Wild Bird Care Centre, a reminder that the Centre and its forested environs had almost become victims of the nearby forest ďŹ re. At the Wild Bird Care Centre last Friday morning, Richmond youngsters Lauren Treffers, 12, Holly Treffers, 10, Brittany Martin, 6, Meagan Martin, 4, and Leo Adamantidis, 4, not only were able to formally donate the $495 which they raised to Wild Bird Care Centre representative Mireille Goguen, who is the avian care supervisor at the Centre, but they also enjoyed a mini-tour of the fa-

cility and got to see as well the Centre’s resident turkey vulture who has a damaged wing, making him permanently grounded, and even a raccoon who was visiting the turkey vulture compound but then scampered off across the Centre’s rooftop. Each of the youngsters received a certiďŹ cate of appreciation from the Wild Bird Care Centre to thank them for their joint $495 donation. During their mini-tour walk through the Wild Bird Care Centre before presenting their donation, the Richmond youngsters saw some crows, viewed the incubator room and looked through a window at a collection of rehabilitating birds. They also saw a display of various bird eggs as well as a giant blue heron wing that is on display in the Grace and Gordon Casselman Resource Centre at the facility. This is where visitors can view displays and educational materials that show the role of birds in the environment. The Wild Bird Care Centre has four full time staff members, a summer student employee and a host of volunteers. The Wild Bird Care Centre got its start in 1981 when the late Kathy Nehei nursed an injured hummingbird back to health at her home. She started looking after injured birds in her home and in 1992, the

SPORTS

Hosting North American Championships John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - It’s a sport that is changing lives for its handicapped participants. And one of its greatest boosters is Kyle Vezzaro of Stittsville, cofounder of the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League who also plays the sport. And now the league is hosting the North American Championships this summer. These championships have a $42,000 total budget, with close to $20,000 to be raised by the local league. But nothing is too much of a challenge for 24 year old Kyle who has seen the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League grow from an initial five players to today’s 20 players, with plans to reach 40 players in total. The North American Championships being hosted by the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League will run from Friday, Aug. 3 through Monday, Aug. 6 at the University of Ottawa, with eight teams from across North America slated to attend including teams from Calgary, Philadelphia and Detroit. Hosting these championships marks a high point for the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League which Kyle, then in high school, and a friend founded in 2009. It arose out of a love for hockey but because of physical limitations, they could not play sledge hockey or other forms of hockey. However, there was a power wheelchair hockey league at that time in Calgary and Kyle liked the model, so he and a friend started a similar league in Ottawa. They sought out gym time and funding for equipment and with five players, the league was started. This five player league grew to 13 players in a four year span and now, with 20 players at pres-

Carolyn Clark, left, president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, presents a gift of appreciation to Kyle Vezzaro, right, who is communications director for the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League, for his presentation to the Club at a recent meeting about the upcoming North American Championships which the League is hosting. ent, the goal is to become a 40 player league with four teams next year. In 2010, the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League entered the North American Championships and even won one game, the first rookie team to ever win a game in the championships. Last year the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League entry won bronze in the Canadian championships, the first rookie entry to place in the top three. For Kyle, power wheelchair hockey changes the lives of participants. He points out that there are not a lot of sports programs for those confined to power wheelchairs but hockey is now one. “It changes their whole perspective on life,” Kyle said about those who get in-

volved in power wheelchair hockey during a recent presentation about the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League and the upcoming North American Championships which he made to the members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. “A light bulb goes on – I can do so much,” he says in explaining this new perspective for power wheelchair hockey participants. Kyle currently attends Carleton University where he has served as the manager for the university’s championship men’s basketball team. He sees great potential for power wheelchair hockey at Carleton since the university attracts disabled students from all over the world, players who can learn the game here and then take it back to their

home country, be it in Africa or elsewhere. The North American Championships being hosted by the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League is the biggest power wheelchair hockey tournament in North America. Kyle says that the ultimate goal in power wheelchair hockey is to compete at the Paralympics and holding big tournaments like this North American one is helping to make this happen. The average cost for a power wheelchair hockey team to travel to a tournament such as this is $13,000. That is because of the need to provide attendants, equipment and vehicle rental. The idea is for the participants and organizing body to provide all of the assistance and help needed, so that parents can have a respite from their ongoing assistance to their children. “We’re really proud of that,” Kyle says about this aspect of giving parents a respite break when the tournament happens. Power wheelchair hockey basically has the same rules as ice hockey but with some differences. In power wheelchair hockey, for instance, there are penalties for dangerous driving and for “ramming.” Action takes place in a four-onfour format. The goalie is protected by a crease area in which only the goalie is allowed. This is for safety purposes. Kyle is a great fan of power wheelchair hockey because, he says, a person can have no sports ability whatsoever and can still play and enjoy the sport. Super light sticks are used and safety goggles are worn. The ball used is like a whiffle ball, with holes in it, again for safety purposes.

Power Out? Here’s What to Do

Your Community Newspaper

At Hydro Ottawa we take pride in keeping Ottawa’s power supply reliable. But an extended power outage, such as the 1998 ice storm, can occur. If your power goes out for an extended period of time, will you be ready? First, prepare ahead. Have a first aid kit with enough supplies (including prescriptions) to keep your family self-sufficient in your home for at least three days. Keep a list of emergency contact numbers, and ensure you have a phone that does not need electricity. You can get updates about power restoration by calling Hydro Ottawa at 613-738-0188; or from your wireless, mobile device at www.hydroottawa.com/outages. Make sure you have enough water, as well as easy-to-store food that does not need refrigeration or cooking. Keep flashlights and batteries ready. A battery-powered or wind-up radio would be helpful. In the event of an extended outage, turn off or unplug appliances including air conditioners and electronics to help avoid a power surge when the electricity is restored. Keep your refrigerator and freezer doors shut as much as possible – food will keep for 12 hours in the refrigerator and 24 to 48 hours in a freezer.

To ensure your safety, ensure no one goes near downed power lines. Never use barbecues, camp stoves or generators indoors. If you use a fireplace for heat, ensure that your chimney is free of creosote buildup or debris. Use flashlights rather than candles; if you must use candles, place them in a non-combustible container away from drapes and carpets.

Smurfs are coming to Stittsville John Curry

R0011476600

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The smurfs are coming, the smurfs are coming! Yes, these small blue fictional creatures who are archetypes of everyday people like Lazy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Brainy Smurf and Handy Smurf are coming to the big screen in Stittsville on Tuesday, July 31. That’s when “The Smurfs,� a 2011 3D family film based on The Smurfs comic book series, will be shown at the fifth free movie night of the summer at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in downtown Stittsville. These free movie nights on Tuesdays at Village Square Park are being sponsored by Stittsville’s youth connexion program with everyone of all ages welcome to attend. “The Smurfs� movie tells the story of the smurfs as they get lost in New York City and try to find a way to get back home before the evil wizard Gargamel

catches them. Neil Patrick Harris plays the role of Patrick Winslow while Jayma Mays is Grace Winslow, a couple in New York who help the Smurfs get back to their village. Starring as Smurf voices in the film are Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf, Katy Perry as Smurfette, George Lopez as Grouchy Smurf, Gary Basaraba as Hefty Smurf, John Oliver as Vanity Smurf, Alan Cumming as Gutsy Smurf, Paul Reubens as Jokey Smurf and Fred Armisen as Brainy Smurf. Smurfs were created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo, the pen name of Pierre Culliford in 1958. The characters proved to be a huge success and smurf stories began to be created in 1959, together with the first merchandising. Indeed, with the success of the smurfs came the development of a merchandising empire of smurf miniatures, models, games and toys. The smurfs became part of North American pop culture in 1981 when the

The SVA will be listing all businesses in Stittsville on the website, category by category. But it will also be offering these businesses an opportunity to upgrade their presence on the SVA website by paying a yearly fee of $100 to receive a web link from the SVA website to the home page of the business. Businesses which provide $100 in services or support for the SVA will also be provided with a web link. Community groups, churches, service clubs and the like will receive a web link on the SVA website free of charge.

SVA president Marilyn Jenkins, in announcing this new website strategy at the SVA’s most recent executive meeting, said that the hope is that the annual $100 payments from businesses for web links will provide a continuous annual income stream for the SVA so that it can continue to hold community events. In addition to this website fundraising, the SVA will also be holding one major fundraising activity a year to help support its community events. This year, for example, the SVA held a rain barrel sale. The annual Canada Day celebrations organized by the SVA will continue to do its own fundraising, approaching businesses in the community for financial donations for the Canada Day activities.

The inukshuk was repaired free of charge by Dan Moriarty of Moriarty’s Property Maintenance. The Royal Canadian Legion also received donations from a number of people.

Catering business lives up to its name John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A Stittsville Main Street business lived up to its name when it hosted a breakfast meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. “It was scrumptious,” Rotary Club member Wes Zacharuk said in describing the breakfast which nine Club members had enjoyed at Scrumptious Creative Catering and Take Home Food Shop in Stittsville on Tuesday morning, July 17. It was served right in the Scrumptious Creative Catering kitchen with the Rotary Club members sitting at a table covered with a black tablecloth and adorned with the firm’s best flatware, tableware and glassware. But the best was yet to come. They also had Phil Bronsther, the executive chef at Scrumptious Creative Catering who has over 24 years of

catering experience, there in the kitchen, cooking up custom-made omelettes for them on four individual propanepowered cooking stoves. It just doesn’t get any better than this. But what else could you expect from Scrumptious Creative Catering which after one and a half years in business is quickly becoming one of the Ottawa area’s premier caterers, with a growing list of special events and weddings to its catering credit. As Jeff Robinson, the firm’s event planner and coordinator, told the Rotary Club members, it is attention to detail and meticulous planning, along with fresh, professionally prepared food and trained, courteous staff, that results in a satisfied and happy customer in the catering business. Whether a catering event involves 20 people or 200 people, the same amount of planning and logistics goes

into the event, Mr. Robinson said. He said that there are 60 to 70 hours of planning that goes into a wedding meal that lasts one to one and a half hours. Staff serving meals at events not only must serve everyone at the same time but must know where any people who require vegetarian or other special meals are sitting. This is all part of the planning and having a well trained staff. Having a group eat right in the kitchen, like the Rotary Club members did, is nothing new at Scrumptious as this is where tastings are held for wedding meals. These are like a rehearsal party, involving both sides of the families involved, where they taste the food proposed for the wedding meal and get to comment on it, for example, on whether the food has too much garlic or not. These can take up to three hours but in the end, the wedding party knows exactly

what the food served will look like and what it will taste like. There will be no surprises. Scrumptious does a lot of these tastings, usually in the January to April period in order to get them done since the kitchen becomes busier in the summertime when it is going up to 19 hours a day in what is a very busy time for Scrumptious. It is, though, just a prep kitchen for the food as most of the finished cooking is done at the catering site. Scrumptious also does not need extensive storage facilities because there is never more than a day or two of food kept on the premises. This is because Scrumptious specializes in fresh food. You have to love what you do to be in the catering business, Mr. Robinson told the Rotary Club members. The best part, he said, is when everything happens as it should and everyone at the event en-

wedding and if a bill arrives that is more than what was quoted, then all the good feeling that the perfect wedding created is lost. Mr. Bronsther says that the difference between being a cook at a catering company and at a restaurant is that in a restaurant, a cook is pretty much preparing the same food all the time. In a catering environment, the menu for every event is different. This adds a creative and challenging aspect to the catering business. In addition to its catering, Scrumptious also is a Take Home Food Shop which offers a weekly take home menu for customers. This involves soups and salads that are made fresh daily as well as full meals. With a pastry chef on staff, Scrumptious offers a selection of baked goodies at its Stittsville Main Street location. In addition, it provides these goodies to Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville as well as two other shops in the city. It works out well to offer both catering and take home food insofar as the catering is hectic in the summer when the take home food portion of the business tends to slow down to some extent. Scrumptious Creative Catering handles events both small and large. Recent catered events have included the grand opening of the Ottawa Sports Hall, the Canada Day seniors breakfast hosted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, the opening of the new city archives, the opening of the Maplesoft Cancer Survivorship Centre and over 20 weddings. Future events already booked include the official opening of the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery at city hall and the ceremony for the awarding of the inaugural Order of Ottawa honours. Scrumptious Creative Catering and Take Home Food Shop is located at 1610 Stittsville Main Street beside the Stittsville Post Office and across the street from Home Furniture. It can be contacted at 613-686-5959 or at catering@scrumptiousfood.ca

joys everything from the first course right through to the dessert and coffee. “You can just see the wow,” he said. Sous chef Ken Anderson agreed that catering is tough, challenging work but it offers a reward that doesn’t happen in a lot of businesses, namely customer satisfaction as revealed by the smiles on people’s faces. People notice that we care, Mr. Robinson adds, noting that Scrumptious plans and packs for everything that could go wrong at a catering site. This includes generators for power, propane for cooking and extra plates in case some are broken. There is no room for things to go wrong. “That’s why we carry redundancy with us,” says executive chef Phil Bronsther. At least ten percent more food than is needed is taken to a catering site, just in case a server drops some plates and more food is needed. In addition, the staff serving at a catered function are fed as well, eating the same meal as the guests eat. Scrumptious believes in treating its staff well. It currently has six full time staff and up to 40 parttime staff. Scrumptious owns all of its flatware and glassware so that it is always available and does not have to be rented. Tents are the only essential item that Scrumptious does not own but it deals with three different tent companies for their rental. In addition, in its planning, Scrumptious meticulously lays out where the tent should go so that it all is set up as planned. This includes knowing where the electrical outlets are located and where the water supply is. The Scrumptious approach also includes a detailed breakdown of costs for the customer so that the customer can not only see the total cost involved but also can see why the cost is what it is. And except for changes initiated by the customer or excessive drinking at the event, the cost as quoted will not change. Mr. Robinson sees this as important, noting that a couple may have a perfect catered

ROBERT (BOB) SLACK PRESIDENT DIRECTOR – ONTARIO The Canadian Snowbird Association (CSA) is pleased to announce the election of Robert (Bob) Slack as the association’s president and director for Ontario for the term 2012 – 2014. Mr. Slack has had a long and distinguished career in education. As a teacher, principal and later supervisor of student teachers, he began his teaching career at the Galt Roman Catholic School Board, continued with the Carleton Roman Catholic School Board, and later the State University of New York. During his career in education he was actively involved in the establishment of classes and programs for dependently handicapped students. For over ten years Bob was a presenter of retirement planning workshops for the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. He also served as an educational consultant for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. In addition to a regular teaching career, he was employed as a part-time lecturer at the University of Ottawa as well as served as a municipal councillor for the Township of Goulbourn. A member of the Canadian Snowbird Association, Mr. Slack has been a volunteer with several organizations. He has served in numerous capacities with the Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario, including two terms as president. A past-president of the Richmond District Lions Club and Richmond Snowrovers Snowmobile Club, he has also been active in minor hockey. Bob Slack and his wife Lois reside in Athens, Ontario. Founded in 1992, the Canadian Snowbird Association is a national not-for-proďŹ t advocacy organization dedicated to actively defending and improving the rights and privileges of Canadian travellers.

Water flow on City streets As part of the Westend Flooding Action Plan one of the key measures to reduce the risk of basements flooding was the installation of inlet control devices (ICDs) to prevent the storm sewer from getting overwhelmed. These ICDs restrict but do not prevent the flow through the catch basins. This means that residents may see water accumulating on the street during a storm event, but the water should drain shortly thereafter. On July 17 we did receive a brief but strong rainfall and it appears that any water on the roads was due to these ICDs and no flooding on private property was reported. Stittsville Power Outages My office has received inquiries from some residents in Stittsville who were experiencing power outages. Hydro Ottawa has investigated three recent outages affecting customers in Stittsville between July 4th and July 10th. In all three cases, the outages were caused by animal contact on the overhead system as follows: 1. July 4th 5:40 am – 7:08 am a. Squirrel contact on Johnwoods Street b. Momentary outage for 2756 customers c. 4 customers remained out until 7:08am 2. July 8th 9:01 am – 1:20 pm a. Squirrel contact on Johnwoods Street (same location) b. Auto reclose for 2756 customers c. 4 customers remained out until 1:20pm 3. July 10th 5:08 am – 10:20 am a. Bird Contact on Hazeldean Road b. Auto reclose for 2756 customers c. 1 customer remained out until 10:20am In the Johnwoods location, Hydro Ottawa field crews have installed animal guards in an effort prevent further animal interference. While these momentary outages do cause unfortunate inconvenience to their customers, Hydro Ottawa is satisfied with the effectiveness of our system equipment. In each of these events, protective devices installed as part of their ongoing Stittsville reliability efforts have worked as intended to clear the failure and automatically restore the majority of affected customers. If you have any further questions on these outages, please do not hesitate to contact Greg McAuley, Supervisor System Operations, Hydro Ottawa Limited at 613-738-5499, extension 7182. Please also remember that to report outages or to receive outages updates to contact Hydro Ottawa at 613-738-0188. Stittsville Tour with Ottawa Police I recently had an opportunity to patrol the Stittsville area with Stittsville’s Community Police Officer, Constable Ryan Strotmann. In addition to receiving weekly updates from Constable Strotmann on Stittsville activity I find it very valuable to ride along with him in the community. We reviewed some of the area where there have been residential fires and speak with some neighbours involved. Constable Strotmann and I also discuss the Ottawa Police Service launch of Youth In Policing Initiative (YIPI). This is a summer employment program with the Ottawa Police Service for youth 14-17 years of age and attending a secondary school program. The goal of YIPI is to give young people an opportunity to develop job skills while enhancing police and community relations. The program is for youth who may experience barriers to success and would benefit from this unique opportunity. In 2007, Ottawa Police Service joined the YIPI program, with seven youth participating. Over the past five years, over 150 youth have participated in Ottawa; and this year the Ottawa Police Service will welcome 45 youth to the program. During our tour of Stittsville We also left notices with some cars parking in parking lots to remind residents to remove all valuables from your car. It is also very important to ensure that you lock your car doors. Thefts from vehicles are particularly high from June to October, and a good way to reduce these thefts is by lowering opportunities for criminals. With the “All Valuables Removed� initiative, residents are instructed to remove their valuables from their vehicle, or secure them out of sight, and place a warning card in their window, letting would-be-thieves know not to bother searching their car, and also reminding others to take the same precautions. In addition to removing valuables, the Ottawa Police would like to offer the following tips to drivers when leaving their vehicle: 1. Never leave your vehicle running and unattended. 2. Close windows and lock the doors. 3. Never leave your car or house keys in your vehicle. 4. Park in well lit areas with pedestrian traffic. For more tips, and to find out how you can obtain a warning card for your vehicle, please visit ottawapolice.ca. For further information please visit: http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/crimeprevention/safetyandpreventiontips/roadsafety/safety_theft_prevention.aspx Stittsville Transportation Infrastructure I encourage you to visit the Transportation Infrastructure information on my website under the Planning and Development tab. On this site you can find information regarding current and upcoming transportation projects in Stittsville; such as the Huntmar Drive reconstruction, Maple Grove Road upgrades and the roundabout at Fernbank and Shea Roads. This website also has information regarding a number of future planned transportation projects in Stittsville which will assist to continue to accommodate the growth in the area. The timelines identified for these projects are outlined in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TMP is reviewed by the City every 5 years and the next review is coming up in 2013. The TMP review will take into consideration the current growth in the area and this may result in a re-assessment of the timelines and priority of projects in the area. Please note that some of the new road construction will also be dependent on construction of future development in those areas. When this review takes place I will try to ensure that some these projects in Stittsville are moved to a closer construction timeline. A listing of the future planned transportation projects in Stittsville has been provided below, and you can also see the location of these projects on the map on the next page. r 2012 - Huntmar Road temporary pedestrian shoulder r 2012 - Stittsville Main Street new sidewalk connection on east side r 2016 - Carp Road widening (417 to Hazeldean) r 2016 - Palladium Drive Realignment (Huntmar to North-South Arterial) r 2017 - Huntmar Road widening (Palladium to Maple Grove and Campeau to Cyclone Taylor) r 2018 - Stittsville Main Street / Kanata West extension (Stittsville Main Street/possible Maple Grove to Palladium) r 2018 – Stittsville/Kanata West North-South Arterial (Hazeldean to Fernbank) r 2023-2031 - Maple Grove Road widening (Huntmar to Terry Fox) r 2023-2031 – Stittsville/Kanata West North-South Arterial (Huntmar to Hazeldean) r Prior to 2031 - West Transitway connection (Terry Fox to Fernbank) Council approves work to update plans guiding Ottawa’s growth Earlier this month City Council gave its approval for work to proceed on updating the plans that shape the way Ottawa grows. Council approved the statements of work for updates to the Official Plan, the Transportation Master Plan and the Infrastructure Master Plan. These are the documents that guide how and where the City will grow over the years to come, especially focusing on the next 20 years. The transportation planning work will include updates to the City’s pedestrian and cycling plans as well as a prioritization of transit and road projects. The Official Plan update will be a review of the document, rather than a full revision. Main areas of focus will be on: ensuring that future urban and suburban intensification projects are built to a higher level of urban design; encouraging the redevelopment of properties around Tunney’s Pasture Station to Blair Station as part of the City’s LRT project; prioritizing infrastructure rehabilitation projects to areas of the City undergoing intensification; reviewing Ottawa’s supply of employment lands to ensure that it aligns with the goals of Invest Ottawa; and, developing unique growth strategies for each of Ottawa’s rural villages. It is not expected that this review will require changes to Ottawa’s urban boundary, as a preliminary analysis indicates there is an adequate supply of land for residential and commercial development already within the urban area. This will be confirmed in the fall when Council adopts the City’s future population projections. There will be public consultations on the updates to these plans beginning later this year and continuing next year. The updated documents are scheduled to be before Council for consideration by the end of 2013. Fire safety especially important during dry conditions Ottawa Fire Services is calling on the community to be cautious when throwing out lit cigarettes or matches, which could result in bush or grass fires due to the dry spell the region is experiencing. By disposing of cigarette butts and matches in appropriate containers, residents can help prevent fires. Do not throw them onto the side of the road, in a flower bed or near other combustibles such as decks, garbage or fences. A single cigarette thrown onto the side of the road can cause a large grass or brush fire. Ottawa Fire Services has had numerous calls over the past few weeks for smouldering mulch at homes and businesses, all caused by improperly discarded cigarette butts. Residents need to be cognizant of their actions, especially during this extremely dry period. Hot and dry conditions across the Ottawa area have also increased the risk of fires from BBQs and grills. Residents should be extra cautious when cooking outdoors and ensure that any fire and all smouldering materials are completely extinguished with water before leaving the area. BBQ and grill safety: r Have a garden hose, fire extinguisher or buckets of water at the ready. r BBQs and grills should be a minimum of 10 feet away from your home. r Make sure your grill or BBQ is level and away from overhanging branches, grass, hedges, fences, sheds and other dry or flammable areas and materials. Also keep children and pets at least three feet away. r Keep all matches and lighters away from children. r Do not use matches and lighters near dry grass and wooded areas. r Never grill under a tent, canopy or in a garage. r Never leave the grill unattended. r Never use gas or paraffin to start or revive your BBQ - use only recognized lighters or starter fuel on cold coals. r Never light a BBQ on, or over, dry or dead grass or vegetation. r Allow coals to burn out completely and let ashes cool at least 48 hours before disposing. r Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping in heavy-duty aluminum foil and placing in a non-combustible container. Be sure no other combustible materials are nearby. Ottawa Fire Services would also like to remind residents that in order to have an open air fire in the City of Ottawa, a fire permit must be obtained from the Fire Department. Please note however that there is a Burn Ban in effect. For further information I encourage you to visit the following web site http://ottawa.ca/en/licence_permit/bylaw/a_z/open_air/ . Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. I also encourage you to follow me on Twitter and on Facebook.

Tyke, novice lacrosse teams strike gold John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Nepean Knights tyke and novice teams both struck gold in last week’s competitive box lacrosse tournament hosted by the Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association. And there’s a Stittsville connection for both teams. The tyke Knights (7 and 8 year olds) has six players on its roster from Stittsville. This team defeated Whitby 8-3 in the championship game to win the gold medals in this age category. The team won all five of its tournament games, earlier defeating Gloucester twice as well as Kahnawake and the Whitby team that it met in the final. Charlie Gollob and Willem Firth both had 19 points for this Knights team in the tournament, with Charlie Gollob scoring 16 goals and adding 3 assists while Willem Firth had 10 goals and 9 assists. Owen Tasse of Stittsville had 10 goals and 3 assists for 13 points while Colin McKinnon had 6 goals and 7 assists for 13 points. The novice Knights (9 and 10 year olds) beat the Cornwall Celtics 11-2 in the championship game in their age category. The Knights had advanced to the championship game thanks to victories over Peterborough, Brampton, Oakville and Cornwall. Playing on this Knights novice team are five from Stittsville – Payton Tasse, Mathieu Clavet, Aiden Burns, Charlie Hertner and Nick Bafia. Head coach for this Knights novice team is Jason Tasse of Stittsville. He has been coaching lacrosse for over 15 years including with the Knights, Carleton University and high school teams. Besides coaching, he has played lacrosse his whole life including with the Nepean Knights organization. He also played professionally for the former Ottawa Rebel team in the National Lacrosse League and when he can he still plays for a Montreal team in the Iroquois Lacrosse Association. The Nepean Knights bantam team made it to the tournament finals but lost 6-4 to Kahnawake. This team is coached by Kirk Kealey who also coaches the field lacrosse team at South Carleton High School in Richmond which this year won the city championship and travelled to the provincial high school tournament. His son Corson Kealey and another North Gower youth, Justin Tkachuk, both play for this Nepean Knights bantam team.

Justin Tkachuk

coming very popular. It’s a great thing to do with your friends, Justin says about lacrosse. Right now, he is trying to eat better to promote physical growth so that he can play better defensively. Coach Kealey said that at the bantam level, the main challenge in coaching is to implement a system. He says that players have to learn both offensive and defensive systems while also learning to use their teammates and play as a team. In last weekend’s Nepean Knights tournament, Whitby won the peewee title with an 8-2 victory over Gloucester while the midget championship went to the Gloucester Griffins with a 4-2 win over Kahnawake. This Nepean Knights tournament is the largest lacrosse event staged in Eastern Ontario. With 56 teams involved, playing in various age categories, the tournament staged games at a number of city of Ottawa arenas including both the Richmond Memo-

rial Community Centre arena in Richmond and the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. The Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association provides youth from ages 4 through 20 in the west Ottawa area including Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn, with the opportunity to play box lacrosse. The Association is totally run by volunteers. The Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association operates both house league and competitive teams. The house league lacrosse season runs from mid-April to the end of June while the competitive lacrosse season runs from mid-April to early August. The competitive season wraps up with the provincial championships which are in early August. This Nepean tournament is considered an opportunity to get ready for these upcoming provincial championships. This Nepean Knights competitive box lacrosse tournament began in 1996, with teams from tyke to intermedi-

ate competing. Lacrosse is fast paced and action filled, with abrupt starts and stops, precision passes and quick shots. Lacrosse is played with a stick, the crosse, which must be mastered by the player to throw, catch and scoop the ball. Players’ positions, which include crease, shooter and point, basically refer to a player’s offensive location on the floor. A crease player plays down tight around the other’s team’s crease. Crease players typically have good hands and score goals and make passes from in close to the net. Shooters play farther back outside the shooting line which is a broken line that runs in a semi-circle around the net. Shooters combine playmaking skills with a good outside shot, along with an ability to move to the net for inside shots. The point is similar to a point guard in basketball, being the sparkplug for offensive play. Because all players move

constantly on offense, they might start in a certain position but they move around, cutting up the middle, moving to find open space and setting picks to create scoring chances. All players also have to be prepared at any time to rush back and play defense when the ball is turned over on offense. Box lacrosse, as opposed to the older field lacrosse, began in the 1930’s as an opportunity to use arenas during the hockey off-season. Box lacrosse is played indoors with six players per team, namely five runners and a goalie. Box lacrosse is considered a creative game that requires both strength and agility. Field lacrosse is played outdoors with ten players per team. Last year the Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association introduced a girls’ lacrosse program. It proved very popular and this year the Association expanded its competitive teams to include a team at each girls’ level.

Corson Kealey

Corson, 14, has been playing lacrosse for 11 years. He likes it because it is a lot of fun and because it is a contact sport. The fact that he is good at it also helps make the sport appealing to him. He is, though, working on his footwork which is important in lacrosse. Fast moving feet are essential for a player to get around an opponent. His teammate Justin Tkachuk, 13, is also a fan of the game which he has now been playing for six years. “It’s a very contact sport,� he says, adding that it is be-

five years, likes the running involved in the sport, along with the checking. He is also a fan of taking trips to tournaments. “I like to fight for loose balls,” says Charlie in explaining what he likes most about lacrosse. He admits that passing the ball into teammates’ sticks is something that he is working on as he tries to improve his skills in the sport. Ten year old Nick Bafia, a three year lacrosse player, likes the speed and action involved in the sport. “It’s as faster sport than

most sports,” he says. Nick says that he is trying to improve his moves and touch around the net to help his scoring ability. Coach Jason Tasse, who has coached lacrosse, both box and field, for over 15 years, including the last six with the Nepean Knights, and has played professionally himself, says that youngsters play lacrosse because of the athleticism required, the sport’s fast pace and the skill required. In addition, he says that there is a “cool-factor” associated with the sport as people admire players not only for the skills required but also

because of the sport’s heritage image. Lacrosse, indeed, is considered to be North America’s first sport as it was played by the First Nations. Jesuit missionary Jean de Brebeuf documented a Huron contest in southeast Ontario back in 1636. Some type of lacrosse was played at that time by numerous native tribes throughout southern Canada and the United States. French pioneers began playing the game avidly in the 1800’s and in 1867, rules were established standardizing the game in Canada.

Coach Tasse says that the toughest thing to teach players is to pass and catch on the run. He says that this skill takes tremendous vision and coordination to master. And this is not all that is involved – there is still skills related to shooting the ball. This season he took his team to a field lacrosse tournament in the United States. He says that the stick work and ball handling skills are the same in both box lacrosse and field lacrosse but that there are different strategies used in the games. Players on novice teams are aged 9 and 10.

EMC news - Five players from Stittsville helped the Nepean Knights novice team win gold in last weekend’s competitive box lacrosse tournament. In addition, the team’s head coach, Jason Tasse, is from Stittsville. Mathieu Clavet, 9, has been playing box lacrosse for four years now. He likes it because it is a fast paced game with the ball always moving. He says that a key to playing lacrosse is to always keep your feet moving.

Payton Tasse, although he is only 10 years old, has been playing lacrosse for six years now. He likes lacrosse not only because of the goal scoring but also because of the checking. Ten year old Aiden Burns is in his third year of playing lacrosse. His favourite thing about lacrosse is going away to play in tournaments. But he also likes scoring, although he admits that goals are hard to come by, and also likes celebrating victories with his teammates. Charlie Hertner, 9, who has been playing lacrosse for

Knights tykes with Stittsville players win lacrosse gold John Brummell john.brummell@metroland.com

EMC sports - Goalie Thomas Kiazyk was one of six Stittsville players who helped the Nepean Knights tykes win gold in the Knights’ annual competitive box lacrosse tournament last weekend. This team of seven and eight year olds rattled off five straight wins in capturing the gold medals in its age category in the tournament. As for goalie Thomas Kiazyk, he likes to play lacrosse because it’s fun but he has another reason, related to his position. “I like the big stick I get to use,” he says, referring to the oversized stick that looks something like a fish net that he and all goalies use in lacrosse. For Cole Bowditch, 8, who has been playing lacrosse for three years, his favourite thing about the sport is that it is a team game where he enjoys his teammates. He started playing lacrosse because he heard that it was good for developing hockey skills. He tried the sport and found that he liked it. Other members of the Nepean Knights tykes from Stittsville are Liam McLeod, John Hertner, Colin McKinnon and Owen Tasse. Owen and Colin both had good tournaments, finishing up with 13 points apiece. Owen had ten goals and three assists while Colin had six goals and added seven assists. The Nepean Knights tykes defeated Whitby 8-3 in the championship game.

Paddy Greene earns every badge possible as Cub John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Earning every badge possible for a Cub. Impressive. Receiving every award and star available to a Cub. Awesome. Being perhaps the first Cub in the history of Scouting in Richmond, a history which goes back to 1921, to achieve this. Wow! But that’s what 11 year old Paddy Greene has done over his three years as a Cub with the 1st Richmond Scout Group and he’s not finished as he enters Scouts this September with the goal of working towards the Chief Scout Award, Scouting’s highest honour. Richmond Scout Group Commissioner Derek Cooke, who calls Paddy’s achievement in Cubs “extraordinary,” says that he has never seen a Cub achieve every badge and receive every award and star in his ten years involved with Scouting in Richmond. Indeed, it may be the only time that this has happened in Scouting in Richmond. Thanks to Cub leader Andrew McKenzie, one of several leaders who has worked with Paddy over the past three years to help him achieve all the badges possible in the Cub program, Paddy now has a huge framed display that includes all of the badges, awards and stars that he achieved over his three year Cub career. Some of the badges took longer and required more effort than others. For instance, he earned his first badges such as Team Player and Collector quickly and easily. Team Player meant playing on a

team which he had done. The Collector badge came thanks to his Pokemon cards. The Language badge, which requires knowledge of another language, came easily to Paddy as he is in French Immersion and his teacher readily verified his French ability. But others required more effort. He earned the Snowboarding badge but only after he gave up a ski day, took a snowboarding lesson and spent time practicing on the hill. The Religion in Life badge took more time as it required a knowledge of prayer and active church participation. Both his father Geoff Greene, who is Akela of the Richmond Cub Pack, and Group Commissioner Derek Cooke agree that the Religion in Life has rarely been achieved in their experience as Cub leaders. But Paddy says that the Religion in Life honour is probably his most proud achievement of all of his badges, awards and stars that he has earned as a Cub. Paddy recounts how he worked for a whole summer on preparing a biography about Terry Fox in order to get his Canadian Healthy Living Award. He is a great fan of Terry Fox, saying that he was not only brave but made a huge difference in society, changing the image of who people view as a hero. For Paddy, who joined Beavers as soon as he could at the age of five and spent three years in that program before moving on to Cubs, trying to earn all of the badges in the Cub program was a goal

John Curry photo

Richmond Cub Paddy Greene, centre, flanked by his father Geoff Greene, left, a Richmond Cub Pack leader, and Derek Cooke, right, who is Group Commissioner for the 1st Richmond Scout Group, holds his framed collection of every badge, award and star which a Cub can earn and which he earned over his three years as a Cub in Richmond. which he set for himself right when he joined the program. Indeed, he and his father can both identify the very moment when this happened. It was at the Scout store where they were purchasing a Cub shirt for Paddy as he was entering Cubs. At the store, Paddy saw a trophy on a shelf there which was honouring any Cubs who earned every

single badge. You could see the gleam in his eye right then, his father Geoff says about this moment and now the rest is history. He earned 24 badges in his first year as a Cub but admits that they were the easy ones. Indeed, he just finished up some of the hardest ones this past year and earned his last badge at his very last Cub meeting.

“There was definitely a sprint to the finish,” his father Geoff says about Paddy’s last minute efforts to achieve every badge. Earning all of these badges, awards and stars in Cubs have not only exposed Paddy to many activities and subjects but they have also taught him an important life lesson. “I have learned to stay

committed with something,” he says and his three years focused on earning Cub badges, awards and stars has shown this. He is also a great fan of the Cub program and Scouting, pointing out that Cubs get to do a lot of activities that they as individuals would not regularly do. This includes trips to a rifle range or talking with an astronaut at the international space station. Paddy says that the Cub program may not appeal to everyone but he says that Cubs is a place where you can meet new friends as well as help in your community. And, perhaps most important of all, “it’s fun,” he says. “It’s sort of like another family,” he says, noting that a Cub is always surrounded by others who care about you and about Cubs and Scouting. Group Commissioner Derek Cooke agrees that Cubs and Scouts offer youth unique experiences. Paddy’s father Geoff Greene, who is a Cub leader, says that Cubs and Scouts are what someone makes out of them. And obviously for Paddy, that was quite a bit. In the Cub program, badges generally cover various aspects of sports or activities such as reading or astronomy. In Scouts, badges are related more to participation and to outdoor activities. However, Paddy is anxious to get going in Scouts, with a goal of trying to earn all the badges available, while acknowledging that they may be harder to achieve than the Cub badges. His ultimate goal is to achieve the Chief Scout Award, Scouting highest honour.

New bathing suits don’t leave girls bored

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories “I can’t believe you let those girls go swimming in their underwear,â€? Aunt Lizzie said at the supper table. “It really isn’t underwear,â€? my sister Audrey said. And she explained how Mother had made bloomer-like bottoms and sleeveless tops, because we couldn’t afford real swimming suits from Walker’s Store in Renfrew. She told Aunt Lizzie just about all the girls on the Northcote Side Road were similarly dressed when they swam in the Bonnechere. Well, not my little friend Joyce. She had a real bathing suit and a bright red rubber bathing cap and matching rubber shoes. But she was still my friend and it made no difference to Joyce that I was dressed in handme-downs or home-made blouses and dresses out of our bag and wore an outďŹ t Mother had made out of broadcloth at nine

cents-a-yard at Walker’s Store to swim in. But it seemed to be a major issue to Aunt Lizzie and she wasn’t going to let it die. She continued to harp on it right up until it was time to go to bed, adding in usual her subtle way, that Mother wasn’t really good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. I knew Mother couldn’t wait to see the last of Aunt Lizzie. It was a hot and blistering day when we got up the next morning and loaded Aunt Lizzie and her genuine cow-hide leather suitcases onto the wagon for the trip into Renfrew to the station. We had to take the wagon, because we all couldn’t ďŹ t into the Model T. We ďŹ ve kids never wanted to miss a trip into Renfrew when there was no school and so we piled on the wagon, hanging on for dear life, with Mother, Father and Aunt Lizzie sitting on the one seat at the front. We all waved as the train pulled out of the station. Well, Aunt Lizzie was only gone a week when a parcel, wrapped in brown paper, arrived in the mail. Lo and behold, when Mother opened it, there were two brand new bathing suits, one for me and one for my sister Audrey. They were identical, in style and colour, but of course in two different sizes. They were white and navy stripes and even though it was late

in the day, Mother said we could try them on and take a fast run down to the Bonnechere and have a dip. Mother had told us we could only stay in the water a few minutes, just long enough to try out the new swim suits. There was supper to think of as we climbed out of the water. The suits were as stiff as boards. Audrey’s, didn’t look too bad because she had a ďŹ gure underneath. But mine completely left my body and kept the water locked in it like a sealed drum. The weight of the water caused the suit to leave my upper body, and it stretched all the way down to my knees. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it and Audrey and I waddled our way back home to show Mother what had happened and have her try to explain why two lovely bathing suits had turned into suits of armour when they got wet. “They’re pure wool - that’s why,â€? Mother said, as she turned the suits inside out to examine them more closely. Well, as they dried over the back fence, they stayed stiff as boards and as they dried they got smaller and smaller, which suited Audrey and me just ďŹ ne. Neither of us had any intention of ever wearing them again. It was back to the homemade broadcloth bloomers and blousettes for us. R0011521123

Ginger carrot soup is cool on a warm day

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff

When you’re serving a light supper that’s mainly salads and cold cuts, a bowl of chilled soup makes a perfect first course. It whets the appetite, but doesn’t fill you up. This carrot soup is delicious when chilled. It can be served in mugs for a casual outdoor picnic or in your best china soup bowls as a first course for a summer lunch or dinner party. Fresh ginger gives this carrot soup a totally different flavour. Depending on how much you use, the intensity of the flavour will be either just noticeable or very distinctive. If you’re not sure which you prefer, go for the smaller amount first. The recipe calls for milk, but you can use cream if you want a richer flavour. If you’re a traditionalist, this soup can be served hot rather than cold. Ginger Carrot Soup 2 tbsp. butter 1 onion, finely chopped 1/2 clove garlic, minced

1 to 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root 1/2 tsp. curry powder 3 cups sliced carrots 1/4 cup uncooked rice 4 1/2 cups water 2 chicken bouillon cubes 2 cups milk salt, pepper to taste In a large saucepan, melt the butter and cook the onion and garlic until softened. Add the grated ginger and curry powder and cook two or three minutes more without letting the mixture brown. Add the carrots, rice, water, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat then cover. Simmer until the carrots and rice are cooked, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender, in two batches if necessary. Add the milk. If you’re serving this hot, return the soup to the saucepan and reheat, without boiling. If serving cold, chill in the refrigerator. Makes six servings.

Concert at Park john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A five piece band that plays classic rock, retro and country hits will kick off this year’s Concert in the Park series in Stittsville. It’s the band “Catalyst,” an Ottawa Valley band that tries to give to offer a fresh approach to both old and new sounds, utilizing vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and more. It’s play list ranges from Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” to Brooks & Dunn’s “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” to the Beatles “Hard Says Night” to Bryan Adams’ “Summer of 69” to Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight.” Catalyst will be on stage at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 2, starting at 7 p.m. This is the first of three Thursday evening concerts at Village Square Park in August, sponsored by Waste Management in conjunction with the city of Ottawa. The three-concert series will continue on Thursday, Aug. 9 when the legendary rock ‘n roll group Eddy and the Stingrays, which wowed the audience last year, will be returning for a 7 p.m. concert. The concert series will wrap up on Thursday, Aug. 16 when Captain Fantastic, an Elton John cover band, will perform. Captain Fantastic will be playing songs from Elton John’s long career, reproducing the sound that Elton John has worked on for so many years to accomplish. If you are an Elton John fan, you won’t want to miss this Aug. 16th concert. Those planning to attend any or all of these free concerts are reminded to take along a

lawn chair or blanket for seating. Concert goers are also reminded that the concerts will go ahead, rain or shine. These 7 p.m. concerts will be preceded by a cash BBQ that will begin at 6 p.m. under the auspices of Stittsville’s youth connexion program.

All funds generated by these BBQ’s will go to support local youth programming initiatives. Donations to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) will also be collected at these Thursday evening concerts.
