News - Calling anyone who would like to be on stage or help out behind the scenes! A open call for cast and crew for a spring musical being planned at Stittsville United Church has been issued, with an open meeting being held this coming Sunday, Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. at the church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville. Everyone who might be interested in urged to attend and learn about this upcoming musical production. There is a need for people to be involved both on stage and also off stage. You could volunteer to sing in a chorus or to act, dance and sing on stage. But you could also volunteer to help in creating sets and costumes or in managing lights and sound or assisting with publicity and poster making. Everyone who has an interest will see their talents used in some way or another. The musical, called “What’s up Zak?”, will be presented on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 at the church. These musicals have become a tradition at Stittsville United Church, with spring musicals staged over the past eight years.
Resplendent in their colourful dresses in which they performed a Spanish dance at the celebration of the Chinese New Year presented by the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Group at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last Saturday are, from left, Gui Fang Zhang, Jian-Ying Wang, Qiu Gui Wu and Ai-Hua Wang.

News - The Year of the Horse came to the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last Saturday afternoon, Feb. 8. On this ninth day of the 15-day long celebration of the Chinese New Year which this year is the Year of the Horse, the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Group presented a Chinese cultural program that included a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, an exhibition of traditional Chinese singing and dancing, a display of Chinese crafts and candy, a craft table for the making of Chinese lanterns and a display by Smart City
Science of Kanata about the four great inventions that China has given to the world – gunpowder, the compass, making paper and printing with movable type (yes, 400 years before Johannes Gutenberg’s similar invention in Germany around 1450!). The traditional Chinese tea ceremony saw Chinese tea apparatus including a tea pot heated by a candle flame set up in front of the fireplace at the library, with Wen Jean Ho and Jezamine Blomqvist of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre explaining the significance of the various traditions associated with the tea ceremony. Even city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who attended this Chinese New Year
celebration happening at the Stittsville library, listened to the explanations and even enjoyed a taste of this Chinese tea. The exhibition of Chinese singing and dancing included a lantern dance “Joy of Spring” done by a group of seven dancers wearing traditional pink costumes and carrying red lanterns; a song by Li Meiling, accompanied by two playing traditional Chinese musical instruments; a demonstration by six male and female dancers of the Chinese slow motion martial art of Taiji which has become known as a vehicle for exercise as much as for its martial arts
