Finally... an independent high school in Kanata

News - It was Irish migrant workers who did much of the backbreaking and indeed deadly work associated with the construction of the Rideau Canal. And this work deserved to be officially recognized by the National Historic Sites Board and now it has been, after several years of lobbying for such recognition, with Kevin Dooley of Ottawa one of the more prominent advocates of this recognition. It was Mr. Dooley himself who told about the construction of the Rideau Canal from 1926-1832 and the efforts of these workers, mainly Irish, who did the much of work under the direction of Col. John By and the Royal Engineers, at the recent March monthly meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. “It’s a no brainer to recognize the workers of the Rideau Canal,� he told those at the meeting which was held at the Stittsville Legion Hall. An Irishman himself, he proudly pointed to the words which are now associated with the historic plaques and interpretative panels which are recognizing the efforts of these Canal workers – “A Tribute to Sacrifice and Achievement.�

He noted that the wording on the historic plaques commemorating the work of the labourers on the Canal notes their Irish heritage with the phrase that the work was done “mainly by recent Irish immigrants.� He said that these Canal workers represented the “blood, sweat and tears� associated with building Canada and is something of which Canadians should be proud. He noted that Col. By has his place in history for his role in the building of the Canal but the workers who did the actual backbreaking and dangerous work also deserved recognition. Mr. Dooley noted that everything done to build the Canal was accomplished totally by brute labour supplied by the workers. He said that hundreds died in work accidents and many more were injured. He noted that workers suffered from malaria, dysentery and cholera, with many dying without the presence of priests or clergy and then being buried in unmarked graves. The Rideau Canal was first recognized as a National Historic Site in 1925 but the recognition went to Col. By and the Royal Engineers, with the contribution of the workers not formally recognized. It took a concerted effort with lots of media and community

support, backed up by solid research, to gain recognition of the contribution of the workers involved with the project. It was pointed out that there are an estimated 100,000 direct descendants of the workers of the Rideau Canal now living in the Ottawa Valley. While a number of the workers moved on to other canal projects, about 5,000 of the workers remained in the Ottawa Valley, with future generations over the years adding to the growing numbers of descendants. The Irish nature of the meeting continued following Mr. Dooley’s presentation with the “Irons in the Fire� fiddle group peforming. This group of six fiddlers along with a bodhran drum and keyboard focuses on Celtic music but also does other fiddle tunes. Their performance included reels, jigs and even waltzes and their peppy finale had John and Barb Bottriell as well as the pair of Lee Boltwood and Marj Gillick dancing and twirling with each other at the rear of the audience. That’s what Celtic/Irish music does – it makes you want to dance! The next monthly meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society will take place on Saturday, April 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public

News - Students at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville were “singing the blues� just before March Break. But it was not in any sad or melancholy sense, impatient and waiting for the impending school break. Rather, it was with a sense of fun and learning as students participated in the “Blues in the Schools� program, a two week program which sees professional blues musicians visit schools not only to perform but also to work with students in workBlues musician shops dealing with the heritage of blues music as well as Tia, aka Birdie song writing and singing. The program culminates in stuWhyte, plays the dents performing for their fellow students, teachers and families in an assembly which is what happened at Guardbanjo.

ian Angels Catholic School on Friday afternoon, March 13, just before March Break. Blues musicians Catriona Sturton, who sang and played the harmonica, and “Tia,� aka “Birdie Whyte,� who had worked with the students in workshop settings, led the assembly. They not only performed but joined a group of students in singing several blues songs including one that the students composed themselves in the blues style. The students also told a little something about several of the oldtime, now famous blues performers such as DeFord Bailey, an American blues musician from the 1920’s to 1941 who was the first African American to perform on the Grand Ole Opry radio show and who is considered the most influential harmonica player of the first half of the 20th century; John Smith Hurt, also known as Mississippi John Hurt, a country blues singer who died in 1966; and Big Mama Thornton, an American rhythm and blues singer who was the first to record the song “Hound Dog� which was a hit for her in 1952 but was overshadowed by the later Elvis Presley recording of the song. The performance began with Catriona and Tia, along with the students, singing “Peace like a River,� an oldtime gospel tune, which they followed up with the song “Cornbread, beans and molasses� with both banjo and harmonica accompaniment. The students then demonstrated their newly acquired abilities with the harmonica as they played a train song, replicating a train’s “choo-choo� sound and whistle with their harmonica sounds. A video was then played in which renowned harmonica player DeFord Bailey played the same tune. The students, along with Catriona and Tia, then sang “Springtime blues,� a song which they themselves had written during their participation in the Blues in the Schools program. “I got the springtime melting blues� was one of the lines of the lyrics. After a couple of other songs the assembly wrapped up with the students singing “Oh! Susanna,� an American standard that was written in 1848 by Stephen Foster, an American songwriter who is known as the “father of American music.� Blues musician Catriona Sturton praised the students who performed, saying that they had all worked hard throughout the week learning about blues music and its heritage. At the beginning of the assembly, representatives from the RBC Royal Bank presented a donation of $500 to Guardian Angels Catholic School to help with expenses related to the Blues in the Schools program. Started in 1999, the Blues in the Schools program has

Shelley-Anne Steinburg receives Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award Special to the News

News - It’s a new award recognizing an outstanding woman from the Ottawa West community who has triumphed over a major life event, emerging as an inspiring, heroic, empowered woman. And the inaugural recipient of this Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award is Shelley-Anne Steinburg, executive director of the Main Street Community Services in Stittsville. The award, which was presented recently at the Kanata Recreation Centre in Kanata, is meant to acknowledge the achievements of a woman who has risen from the ashes of a pivotal life moment to reclaim that life in a positive, empowering and inspiring way, soaring to new heights and living life to the fullest while positively impacting others.

As the recipient of the gold level award, Ms. Steinburg has received an award package valued at over $1,900 with the items donated by local businesses and entrepreneurs including concert tickets, personal training, massage therapy, dining gift cards and more. Nominations were received by The FeminineXperience, with six woman nominated in this first year of the award. The FeminineXperience, which sponsors this Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award and which was founded by Kari Hummer, is geared towards woman of any age who are emotionally ready for change. Weekly dance classes of The FeminineXperience provide a fun and safe environment that is supportive and encouraging while a woman builds confidence and becomes more comfortable with her femi-

nine energy. Shelley-Anne Steinburg is the executive director of Main Street Community Services in Stittsville, a registered charity that develops and implements comprehensive, research based programs for children who are challenged by a disability or exceptionality. It is one of the largest privately run organizations for children with disabilities and exceptionalities. It offers a developmental respite service as well as a social skills day camp providing specialized therapeutic programs to over 150 children. Other programs include individual counselling, social skills enrichment training, after school social skills program, overnight respite with five developmental respite homes for children with special needs, a developmental day program and interpersonal communications

skills training. In the nomination submitted for Ms. Steinburg, she was described as a strong woman who has overcome loss in her youth and yet has built from the ground up an organization that supports youth and adults with developmental disabilities. “This is how she has overcome her challenges, by giving to others,” read her nomination. “It never matters the time of day, what is on her plate, or how chaotic life can be, when someone is in need, she is there…,” the nomination stated.

Receiving the inaugural silver level of this Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award was Jennifer Currie-Roy of Kanata whose nomination described her as a dynamic woman who has written a book, has given back to her community in a variety of ways and has worked as a full time professor teaching sexuality, all while dealing with aging parents and the recent death of her 52 year old sister. “She is a magnificent woman and a visible example of the strength of a woman to fight and protect those she loves,” stated the nomination for her.

Honoured with the bronze level of this Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award for 2015 was Barbara Munshaw of Kanata, described in her nomination as “a gutsy, determined woman who has survived a bad marriage, her partner’s layoff, the death of her mother, the cancer surgery of her brother, the heart surgery of her other brother and her own double hip replacements.” “She has more chutzpah than almost anyone I know… continues to smile, give and move forward,” continued the nomination.

Ontario finances still adrift

I

t’s not difficult to find evidence the Ontario government has lost its way. Almost every day they send out reminders, in the form of press releases, to whoever is interested of the many ways in which they’re squandering the future of the province. For example, in the spirit of disclosure and public accountability they sent out information on the annual “sunshine list,� detailing the members of the public sector who earn more than $100,000 per year. In 2014, the number of people on that list surpassed 100,000. That’s not an insignificant number of people. In fact, there are so many people in Ontario earning six figures on the public payroll that, at a minimum, their salaries will make up at least $10 billion of the province’s $130 billion 2014-15 fiscal plans. As most people on the sunshine list make more than $100,000, the actual portion of Ontario’s annual expenditures likely surpasses 10 per cent of the total. And that’s the disclosure part. While the top earners in the provincial public sector count their

riches, school boards and hospitals, including those here in Ottawa, are trimming their front-line staff in an effort to keep their budgets in balance as money from the province is frozen or clawed back. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, the public school board have announced in the last couple weeks that they’ll have to reduce the number of nurses and learning support staff in order to keep their books in the black. Those are the sorts of cuts that residents will notice. Yet these aren’t called job cuts, as these decisions are left to those at the local level, yet they do sound awfully similar to the sort that Kathleen Wynne denounced during her re-election campaign last year. She pledged to get Ontario’s economy back on track without tearing apart the public services residents depend on. So far, all we’ve seen is evidence of profligate spending and harmful job cuts. After more than half a decade of sour economic times, Ontario’s leadership is no closer to helping us find our way out of the woods.

Enjoying the ride at the edge of our seats

I

t seems like some kind of playoff fever thing hits our town every year. Playoff fever, as we have learned, doesn’t always mean Ottawa makes the National Hockey League playoffs, but it is exciting and it helps pass the last weeks of a very long and hard winter. And actually, it’s not really playoff fever. Actual playoff fever begins when the playoffs begin. What we have is making-the-playoffs fever, a different thing entirely. Some might suggest that, next year, the Senators could try winning more games earlier in the season, so that a playoff spot could be guaranteed and the good people of this city could be spared the nerve-wracking ordeal of a late-season playoff run. Such people have no soul, and no

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town sense of the intense pleasure and pain of making-the-playoffs fever. Because, hasn’t this been fun? A team that gets off to a horrible start, fires the coach, loses most of its veteran players to injury, including the best goaltender in the league at the time, just when the city has given up and started to think about gardening or something -- just then, with a minor-league goaltender and a gang of quite inexperienced players, the team starts to win, and continues

to win, and continues and continues, until the elusive playoff spot is within reach and fans are throwing hamburgers on the ice. Fans of one of those teams that wins all the time would be missing all this. True, having a winning season from beginning to end is the traditional way of making the playoffs, but that can be boring. Far better to keep the fans on the edge of their seats, keep them checking the radio or the TV when they’re supposed to be entertaining guests, keep them listening to the game online when they’re supposed to be going out to sample the nightlife in Florida. Fans of teams that do it the traditional way, in places like Chicago and Detroit, are probably pretty satisfied with their sports life.

should try this. In fact, the Senators themselves were quite traditional until last year, making the playoffs consistently for more than a decade. Then, last season, they rediscovered the extra dose of excitement they could provide for their fans by waiting until the last minute to qualify. The team had done that in 1997, qualifying for the playoffs on the last day of the regular season. Unfortunately, in the case of last season there was a miscalculation. The team was in the race for what sportswriters like to call “a coveted post-season spot� until the last week of the season. Then oops. Still, everyone could see what fun it was. Hence, the position we find ourselves in now as Senators fans, old and new. For there are many new ones. Winning a string of games with no veterans and a minor-league goalie will do that. Exciting as it all is, fans are urged

not to emulate the Sens in real life. Unless she is an exceptional person, the boss will not find it acceptable if you goof off for several months, promising a flurry of accomplishment in the last few weeks. It only works on skates.

‘Walk of the Cross’ in Stittsville on Good Friday Special to the News

News – A “Walk of the Cross� is happening in Stittsville this Friday, April 3 which is Good Friday. It will be a walk in which a wooden cross will be carried along Stittsville Main Street to re-enact the walk that Jesus Christ took in Jerusalem carrying His cross from the place where He was sentenced to death to

the place where He was crucified. This “Walk of the Cross,� to which everyone is invited, will begin this Friday, April 3 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Mulkins Street and Stittsville Main Street. The wooden cross will then be carried along Stittsville Main Street, making stops along the way at the Community Bible Church,

St. Thomas Anglican Church and Stittsville United Church, covering a total of about two kilometers. There will be a brief time of worship at each church including scriptures, dramatic readings, hymns and prayers to remind participants of the events of the first Good Friday and to help deepen their own spiritual experience of the walk.

Inaugural Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award presented Continued from page 6

Other nominated for this Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award were Peggy Baldwin, a person who has lost about 100 pounds, who cares for her son who has hearing problems as well as problem solving issues and who is involved with the dragon boat races; Jennifer King, who was a teacher at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville several years ago who never missed a day of teaching even though, unknown to her students or their parents, she was undergoing treatment for uterine cancer; and Alida Perseo, a wife who has overcome a tragic previous marriage of wrongful doings and traumatic physical and

emotional events and now provides care and support for her husband who has sustained an ongoing painful back injury, seven children and sick in-laws. This Rising Phoenix Woman’s Award is meant to honour a woman who, among other things, has grown personally in spite of challenging life events, who has demonstrated a positive, empowered outlook on life and who has made a difference in the world around her. The award honours such a woman who is over 21 years of age and resides or serves in the Ottawa West community which includes Ottawa west of Pinecrest Road, Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Carp, Manotick and Carleton Place.

Those attending will be invited to take turns helping to carry the wooden cross along the way.

Everyone is invited to take part in this “Walk of the Cross� and share with others in the community in remembering the suffering and death of Jesus Christ in preparation to celebrate the joy and hope of new life on Easter morning.

Stittsville News - Thursday, April 2, 2015 9

‘Digitizing and Preserving Photos 101’ at library News – You could call it “Digitizing and Preserving Photos 101.” It was an introduction to how to preserve family photographs and how to take care of the originals and it was delivered recently at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library by professional conservator Kyla Ubbink of Ubbink Book & Paper Conservation of Ottawa. And it was popular, with more than 30 people packing the meeting room at the Stittsville library branch to learn about digitizing and preserving family photographs. Ms. Ubbink touched on the long term preservation of original materials; scanning equipment and techniques; organization of digitized materials; computer programs to use and formats for saving photographs and documents; and long term preservation of the digital materials that are created. Light, dust, climate fluctuations and pollutants can all affect photographs and materials that are being saved. The solution? The use of boxes which block the light, keep dust away and filter out pollutants. She urged the use of good quality archival boxes which are available from archival supply firms that can be accessed online. Mylar sleeves should be used for photographs as they allow for the photos to be seen and yet keep fingers off the photos. Photo albums are a great way to store photos as they keep away light and dust. However,

they should be acid-free albums. And the shelves on which you place the boxes holding your photographs and documents can impact them. Not only should shelving be sturdy but they should be of enamelled steel if possible. Wood shelving is highly acidic. If wood shelving is used, a buffer of acid free mat boards should be placed between the shelving and the boxes in order to filter out the acidic products emanating over time from the wood. Ms. Ubbink also advised to be careful in the handling of photos and materials, wearing gloves while doing so. This prevents the transfer of acids from the hands to the materials. She also explained about scanning equipment, saying to avoid scanners that feed the original photograph through rollers. Flatbed scanners are the best to use. She said you should scan a photograph as little as possible as scanning exposes the photo to intensive light. She said that both the photo and the scanner bed should be cleaned before any scanning to ensure that the scanned product is as good as it can be and no re-scanning is necessary. Ms. Ubbink also explained about making a plan for your digitized photos and materials, organizing them by such things as year, event, names or other criteria. She advised that the digital product should be saved as a jpeg or tiff as these two formats are the most compatible with programs. Tiffs, though, are preferred as they are not compressed, unlike a jpeg which compresses the

information, meaning that quality can be lost. She advised that digital files should be opened once a year to ensure that they have not become corrupt. In addition, digital files should be re-saved to new hard drives every five years. That’s because hard drives and other storage devices are made of metal, plastics and silicone that deteriorate due to oxidation, pollutants, ra-

diation and handling. They can become corrupt and unreadable. “A hard drive is not a forever thing,” Ms. Ubbink said, noting that they have a 15 to 20 year life span at most. Ms. Ubbink also demonstrated the handling of a number of older photographs including tin types and glass plate negatives.

Golden season for Jack Fan of Goulbourn Skating Club Special to the News

Sports - It’s been a golden season for Jack Fan of the Goulbourn Skating Club, capped off with a gold medal at the Canada Winter Games. It all started in mid-January when Jack was one of several skaters from the Goulbourn Skating Club competing in the Special Olympics Eastern Ontario Regional Skating competition in Stirling, ON where he captured three goal medals and one silver medals in his four events. Two weeks later, he was off to the Special Olympics Provincial Championships in North Bay along with teammate and fellow Goulbourn Skating Club skater Katie Xu. Both had qualified for this provincial competition because of their placements at last year’s Special Olympics Regional Competition. At this provincial competition, Jack Fan collected gold medals in all three events in which he competed. It was turning into a golden season

for the Goulbourn Skating Club skater! The following week, Jack was off to Toronto for a stag-

ing camp for the Canada Winter Games, accompanied by his coach Cathy Skinner of Stittsville who had been selected to be the Special Olympics coach for Team Ontario for the upcoming Canada Wnter Games. At this staging camp, Jack met all of the other figure skating athletes and coaches from across Ontario that would be travelling to Prince George, BC to compete as part of Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games. Two weeks later, Jack was again off to Toronto where he and coach Skinner met up with the rest of Team Ontario to board a charter flight to Prince George, site of the Canada Winter Games. Unfortunately, due to bad weather and other factors, this flight to Prince George ended up being an almost 24 hour travel day. Then, on the second day there, Jack sprained his ankle and was unable to skate on his first practice day. He was taken to the hospital for x-rays but there was no

breakage and each day he was administered to by the Winter Games medical staff with physio, icing and taping of the ankle. In the first portion of his

figure skating competition, Jack was still in a lot of discomfort but he managed to place second in this elements portion of the event. Two days later, Jack won the freeskate

portion of the competition and jumped into first place overall in the event, winning the goal medal. What a way to cap off his skating season with this gold medal from the Canada Winter Games! Jack’s gold medal win helped Team Ontario win the Canada Winter Games flag which is a goal of each provincial team at the competition, namely to win the flag and take it back home for the following four years. The trip home turned out to be another long day of travel for Jack and coach Skinner, with them arriving in Ottawa 30 hours after they had woken up the previous day. But, avid skater that he is, Jack was back at the rink again that evening after a short snooze in the afternoon, all ready to skate. So, it’s been a season of gold medal performances combined with determination and dedication for Jack Fan of the Goulbourn Skating Club. What a year to remember!

Chef Michael Blackie at NeXT Restaurant supports QuickStart Special to the News

News - Chef Michael Blackie of the NeXT Restaurant in Stittsville is a supporter of QuickStart, an organization whose mission is to see that all children with autism can develop to their full potential by receiving early intervention. Recently Chef Blackie made a donation presentation at the restaurant to Suzanne Jacobson, the founder and president of QuickStart.

QuickStart, which is a registered Canadian charitable organization based in Ottawa, raises awareness about early intervention for autism and also initiates programs to cut wait times, build capacity and promote improvements in early identification and intervention for autism. QuickStart was instrumental in the establishment of a new Getting Started Services clinic at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre where

children are assessed for autism by a multidisciplinary team. The service is provided free of charge. It was QuickStart which provided the initial $55,000 for a pilot project involving the Getting Started Services clinic and since then has donated over $300,000 to the program.

QuickStart began a ReFresh ReStart respite program for parents in 2010. With the support of local hotels, QuickStart offers one and two night stays for parents to provide them with respite time. QuickStart provides funding to offset childcare expenses while the parents are away

on a weekend respite break. Suzanne Jacobson founded QuickStart in 2008 after her grandson Alex was assessed with autism but was facing a long wait before Intensive Behaviour Intervention services at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) were to begin.

‘Jeepers, Creepers’ - what a team! Special to the News

Submitted

Members of the Stittsville Rams Novice B team “The Creepers” which won the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League Novice “B” Greenline championship are, front row, kneeling, from left, Kevin Troy, Janik Selway, Jack Grace, Cooper Holly, Nathan Sawyer, Aaron Neuman and Alexei Smith; second row, standing, from left, Tyler Furling, Scot Melvin, Gavan Lightfoot, Kaden Bedard, Joshua Howard, Isaac Donnelly and Jacob Chute; and, back row, from left, head coach Stewart Melvin who is holding the championship banner, trainer Jim Grace, assistant coach Ian Selway and assistant coach Ray Smith. Missing from the photo are managers Kathy Bedard and Sarah Lightfoot and on ice helpers Brian Lightfoot and Adam Donnelly.

Sports - “Jeepers creepers” is not only the name of a 1938 song that was written for the Warner Bros. movie “Going Places” but also is the name of a 2001 American horror film which featured the song. The most famous lines in the song are “Jeepers Creepers, where’d ya get those peepers?/ Jeepers Creepers, where’d ya get those eyes?” And while having absolutely nothing to do with either the 1938 song or the 2001 horror film, “The Creepers,” a Stittsville Rams Novice B team, has wound up the season not only as playoff champions but also as a group that really came together over the course of the season. Or, as the lyrics to a song about the team in the style of the 1938 song might say, “Jeepers, Creepers, where’s d ya get that spirit?/ Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get that teamwork?” It was all as a result of the atmosphere that the coaching staff created

for the players in which they grew and constantly demonstrated sportsmanship for each other. Indeed, even more impressive than their season’s win/loss record of 16 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties was the way that the players really played for each other. They were far happier to see a teammate score than to score themselves. They were sportsmanship in its finest portrayal. The Stittsville Rams Novice B team, “The Creepers,” capped off its super regular season by winning the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League’s Novice “B” Greenline division playoff championship in a hard fought series against Osgoode. After tying the first game, “The Creepers” won the next two games to capture the championship. During the season, “The Creepers” played in three tournaments. The team made the finals in its first tournament at Leitrim while making the semi-finals in its second tournament in Peterborough.

Cameryn Hagan at synchronized skating Nationals in Quebec City John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - “To synchronize� means “to be coordinated.� And that’s what skaters are in synchronized skating – coordinated, as a group of skaters moves together as one flowing unit while completing difficult footwork and maintaining precise timing. But there’s more to synchronized skating than just what happens on the ice. Just ask Cameryn Hagan, a grade 11 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville and a long time synchronized skater, who touts the fun that is involved in the sport as well as the friendship benefits that arise from being part of a team. Indeed, Cameryn calls her synchronized skating teammates “sisters� because that is how close the skaters become. And, perhaps who wouldn’t since the team, the National Capital Ice Caps who are associated with the Nepean

Skating Club, practises three times a week including a six hour session on Sundays. Cameryn herself started skating when she was four years old, beginning in a CanSkate program and continuing as a singles skater. But when she was eight, she switched to synchronized skating and she has been doing it ever since, culminating in a recent trip with her team to the Canadian Nationals competition in Quebec City. The National Capital Ice Caps had qualified for the Nationals with a high placing at the Regionals competition. Cameryn says that the Nationals, held in Quebec City, was a fun experience since she was with her teammates and also met lots of new people, with teams from all across Canada there competing. This was the first time that Cameryn had been at the Nationals competition. The team skated the same routine on two consecutive days. It was a routine called

“Super Models� in which the skaters wore red dresses. Cameryn says the routine was really fun to perform. Cameryn remembers some of the other routines which her team has performed over the years. There was one featuring Aretha Franklin music that was memorable. Another memorable one was one with a bridal theme that saw the skaters wear different coloured dresses – white for the brides and blue, green and pink for the bridesmaids. Cameryn says that synchronized skating places more focus on movements, spins and footwork than jumps which have more prominence in singles skating. She says that the key to synchronized skating is to be synchronized doing it while also looking good. She says that synchronized skaters all have to be strong skaters, no matter where the skater is located in a routine such as the “wheel� where skaters rotate around a common centre point.

And while Cameryn admits that synchronized skating has been a huge part of her life in recent years, she says that she will not be doing it in the coming year because it is her grade 12 year in school and

John Curry/Metroland

Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 11 student Cameryn Hagan has participated in the recent Canadian Nationals synchronized skating competition in Quebec City.

she wants to focus on her schoolwork. However, synchronized skating may still be in her future as she notes that Carleton University has a synchronized skating team that she may join if she goes there. Right now she is leaning towards a commerce course in university but she has not decided definitely as yet. No matter what her future in synchronized skating, Cameryn would like to be a skating coach. She is working on completing her skating tests so that she can coach in CanSkate and other programs. Of course, she thinks it would be lot of fun to coach a synchronized skating team sometime in the future, saying that it would be “really fun.� Right now, Cameryn is shifting her focus to rugby as she will be playing for the Sacred Heart girls team this spring. She used to play rugby when she was younger and lived in Manitoba but this will be the first time that she has played at

the high school level. Synchronized skating involves a team of skaters, anywhere from 8 to 20, skating on ice as a team. Originally called precision skating because of its emphasis on precise formations and timing, synchronized skating has a focus on teamwork, precision, speed, difficulty and performance. Skaters involved in synchronized skating must be competent at a variety of skating skills including speed, footwork and ice presence. The team performs a program set to music with formations such as circles, lines, wheels, intersections and more. It was in 1956 that the first synchronized skating team was formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There are now international synchronized skating competitions at the Senior, Junior and Novice levels, with the first official World Synchronized Skating Championships having been held in the year 2000 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Blackhawks are playoff champs Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville Atom B6 Blackhawks are playoff champs! The team ended its season on top, taking home the playoff championship for their Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League division line with a victory over the Osgoode Rideau Atom B1 Senators in the final series. Game one of the playoff finals found the Blackhawks trailing 3-2 in the second period but the team rallied to tie the game at 3-3. But

the Osgoode Rideau Senators quickly regained the lead, going ahead 4-3. With a minute to go in the third period, the Stittsville goalie was pulled in a last ditch effort to tie up the game. This gamble paid off as the Blackhawks rallied, scoring with just 20 seconds left on the clock. In game two of the playoff series, the Blackhawks were the visiting team but had the lead going into the second period. The Osgoode Rideau Senators, however, tied up the game

R0013186768_0326

2-2 which is how the game ended. Following March break, the two teams met again for game three of the series o Monday, March 23 with the Blackhawks as the home team. It was an intense game with the Blackhawks players giving it everything that they had. The Blackhawks took the lead in the first period but the Osgoode Rideau Senators answered it with a goal of their own, tying up the game. In the second period, the Blackhawks scored on a breakaway, again taking the lead in the game. And this would end up being the winning goal as the ensuing third period was scoreless. This playoff series marked some of the best hockey of the season played by the Blackhawks. All of the games were close but the team never gave up and ended up as champions. During March break, with a break in the playoffs, the Stittsville Blackhawks played in their final tournament of the year in Kingston. This was the first “away� tournament for many of the players, adding excitement and energy to the experience. The Blackhawks won their first game of the tournament against the Cumberland Dukes

(Newman) but then lost their second game to the Athens Atom B2 Aeros. After this loss, the coaches pointed out to the players what had been done well and what needed improvement. Before playing in their third game of the tournament against the Arnprior Atom 1 team, the Blackhawks discovered that the team still had a shot at playing in the tournament semi-finals depending on the outcome of the game. The game against Arnprior was tough but the Blackhawks skated away with the victory thanks to playing as a team. With the win, the Blackhawks advanced to the semi-finals against the Athens Atom B2 Aeros team that had beaten the Blackhawks earlier in the tournament. The Blackhawks took the lead in the first period but Athens came back to tie up the game in the second period. A scoreless third period meant overtime. In this overtime session, Athens got a break when the puck bounced off the Blackhawks post and into the net. When the Athens coach congratulated the Blackhawks after the game, he said “you should have won that game.� Such high praise is not easily given to an opponent.

Hearing about Camp Banting at Lions meeting in Stittsville Special to the News

News - Stittsville District Lions Club members heard about Camp Banting at a recent meeting Delivering the message about Camp Banting were Ray Ball, a member of the Cumberland Lions Club who is the Lions District A4 Diabetes Chair, and Kristina Schulz who is the current 1st Vice District Governor. Mr. Ball noted that Camp Banting is one of 12 camps across Canada operated by the Canadian Diabetes Association. It provides an opportunity for about 75 youngsters between the ages of 6 and 16 to attend summer camp for a two week period. This year Camp Banting will be held at Camp Opemikon, a Scouts Canada camp facility on

Christie Lake near Maberly, ON, about 100 kilometers from Ottawa. This represents a change as Camp Banting has been held at the YMCA Camp on the Ottawa River at Dunrobin. Camp Banting was founded in 1953 and at the time was the first summer camp program in Canada operated by the Canadian Diabetes Association for children living with type one diabetes. There are five full time staff as well as seasonal and part-time staff at Camp Banting. The daily program at Camp Banting involves activities such as archery, arts and crafts, swimming and kayaking. Besides taking part in these activities, youngsters at Camp Banting also learn how to manage their diabetes. For some, it is the first time away from home and away from their parents who usually administer their

insulin injections. At Camp Banting, the youth learn how to administer their own injections, sometimes up to three times a day. Camp Banting is totally funded by donations with no government funding involved. Kristina Schulz, who is a member of the Manotick Lions Club as well as being the 1st Vice District Governor, said that if she is elected as the Lions District Governor for next year, she will be making Camp Banting the theme for her year as District Governor.

The Stittsville District Lions Club presented a $300 donation for Camp Banting to Lions District A4 Lions Chair Ray Ball at the meeting. In introducing the guest speakers at the meeting, Stittsville District Lions Club member Wayne Beaten said that virtually everyone knows someone who has diabetes today. He expressed the hope that someday diabetes will be eradicated. Currently there is no cure for diabetes. Insulin can control the disease.

‘In your Easter bonnet’ at Lions euchre party Special to the News

News - “In your Easter bonnet/With all the frills upon it/You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.” These are the famous lyrics from the song “Easter Parade,” written by American composer Irving Berlin in 1933. The song was a hit record for a number of artists such as Bing Crosby, Harry James, Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians and Liberace. And this song, considered to be one of the most popular Easter songs of all time, probably did more than anything else in popularizing the tradition of the Easter bonnet, an

elaborately designed hat that worn at Easter, a luxury item that helped celebrate the end of Lent. And this tradition, which not as prevalent in today’s society as in the past, will be carrying on this Thursday, April 2 at the euchre party at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville where participants will be encouraged to wear an Easter bonnet. This is the final euchre party of this current series which began last January and have been held on Thursday evenings through the ensuing months. This final Thursday night

euchre party at the Lions Hall will also feature a pot luck as well as, of course, the euchre playing throughout the evening. At the euchre party on Thursday, March 26, Mary Hodge finished up on top with 75 points, followed closely by Shirley Beardsell with 73 points. Steve Hodge ended up in third place for the evening with his 69 points. Thea Both had the hidden score, 55 points, while Irene McLaren won the booby prize with 43 points. Joan Benoit took home the door prize while other winners during the evening were Thea Both and Bill Watson.

The original forcemain was built in the early 1980s and is in need of repair. As part of the repair process, staff have conducted preliminary investigations in recent months that are necessary to complete the detailed design for the future construction activity. The forcemain limits are from the Richmond Sewage Pumping Station located at the corner of Royal York Street and Cockburn Street in the Village of Richmond, and travels northeast along the south bank of the Jock River, crossing the river near Eagleson Road and then travels north along the west side of Eagleson Road before discharging to the City’s sewer system near Hazeldean Road in Kanata. As part of this process, the City is hosting an open house at the Richmond Arena on Tuesday, March 21st between 7:00pm and 9:00pm. Notifications are being sent out to those closest to the forcemain, south of the Jock River.

CRA E-mail Scam I wanted to bring forward a concern completely unrelated to my job but very much relevant this time of year. This past weekend, I received an email stating that my tax return was ready and I just needed to enter my Social Insurance Number to get by refund. Although the website looked exactly like the website for Canada Revenue Agency, it was a fraud. Therefore, beware of these fraudulent emails. The CRA does not send email transfers, only direct deposit. The following information has been taken from CRA’s website. Occasionally, taxpayers may receive, either by telephone, mail, or email, a communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but is NOT. In all these cases, the communication requests personal information, such as a social insurance, credit card, bank account, and passport numbers, from the taxpayer. These fraudulent communications are also referred to as scams or phishing. Invariably, the communication argues that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or benefit payment. Another common scam refers the person to a Web site resembling the CRA’s Web site where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. Taxpayers should not respond to such fraudulent communications. To better equip taxpayers to identify those communications that do not come from the CRA, the following general guidelines are provided. The CRA does not do the following:

s 4HE #2! WILL NOT DIVULGE TAXPAYER INFORMATION TO ANOTHER PERSON UNLESS formal authorization is provided by the taxpayer. s 4HE #2! WILL NOT LEAVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ON AN ANSWERING machine. You will find examples of a fraudulent letter, emails, and online refund forms on the CRA’s Web site. As per telephone calls, the CRA will occasionally leave messages for taxpayers on their answering machines. In these cases, a callback number will be provided along with a request to have the taxpayer’s SIN available upon callback. However, it is important to note that not all telephone messages purporting to be from the CRA are genuine. Should taxpayers wish to verify the authenticity of a CRA telephone number, they should contact the CRA directly by using the numbers on our Telephone numbers page. For business-related calls, contact 1-800-9595525 and for individual concerns, contact 1-800-959-8281. Information is available at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/.

Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School open house on April 11th Special to the News

News - Parents who want to check out the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School and learn about its programs for two and three year olds should consider attending its upcoming open house. This open house is being held on Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Nursery School premises located in A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville. The open house is happening just before the Nursery School’s registration night for the 2015-2016 Nursery School year starting in September. This registration night will take place on Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m., also at the Nursery School premises at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School aims to provide a stimulating environment in which children can learn trust and develop at their own pace, leading to more

independence socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually. The program focuses on activities that encourage youngsters to experiment freely and creatively. Children at the Nursery School learn to handle themselves in a larger group of peers, take instruction from adults and develop new relationships. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School tries to provide an environment which is happy and relaxed, stimulates physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of the child, offers children the opportunity to socialize and experiment with a wide variety of activities and encourages parents to participate in their child’s education.

The Nursery School has the space, equipment and supervision necessary to provide this environment for the active pre-schooler. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School has been serving the Stittsville community since 1971 when a group of parents interested in providing a pre-school experience for their children founded it. It relocated from its original home at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road to premises on Stittsville Main Street in the village core. When A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School opened in 1990, the Nursery School relocated to its current premises at the Hobin Street school. A licensed nursery school, the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School is a parent co-

operative administered by an elected executive committee of volunteer parent members. The executive manages the facility, hires qualified staff and handles the business of the operation. Parents assist in the classroom on a rotational basis and fundraise as required. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School is also an integrated school. This means that the program and staff have been assessed and approved by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to accommodate children with special needs. For more information about the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School, please contact registrar Stefanie Papineau at registrar@ scns.ca or by calling 613-836-1500. KANATA

News – A community blood donor clinics hosted by Canadian Blood Services will be held in Stittsville on Wednesday, April 22. It will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street. To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinics, please visit the website www. blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). There is always a need for blood donations as it often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. Indeed, every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. Blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 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. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing.

Monarch Teacher Network speaker to be at Horticultural Society Special to the News

News – Butterfly gardens will be the topic for guest speaker Joan Harvey of the Monarch Teacher Network of Canada at the April meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. This meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre at the corner of Pretty Street and Orville Street in Stittsville. The Monarch Teacher Network is a collective of educators and nature enthusiasts who teach and inspire people to connect with nature through hands-on training and professional development workshops. These educators believe that by bringing nature to the classroom, students can connect in an authentic way to the natural world. Not only does the Monarch Teacher Network educate about conservation but it is actively working to restore monarch habitat. Hence the emphasis in the presentation on butterfly gardens, particularly to help monarch butterflies. Monarch Teacher Network volunteers have installed monarch habitat in various places in Canada including in Ottawa. It all began in New Jersey in 2001 when 18 teach-

ers were trained at the very first “Teaching & Learning with Monarch Butterflies” workshop. In 2003, the movement expanded to Canada and the first workshop was held in Kingston. In 2014, the Monarch Teacher Network in Canada hosted 11 workshops focused on teaching skills and concepts that inspire people to share what they have learned in schools and communities. The monarch butterfly is considered in trouble today as its population continues to decrease. Its migration is considered to be endangered. The monarch is probably the most familiar butterfly in North America with the orange and black pattern on its wings. The eastern North American mon-

arch population is notable for its an- $15 each or $25 for a family. nual southward late summer/autumn For more information, please email SGHorticultural@ migration from parts of Canada and gmail.com . the United States to Mexico, covering thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return northward.

Thinking of a renovation project? There is a lot to think about. One thing to consider is what type of agreement you require with the contractors. Handshake Agreements For various reasons some people decide to have a “handshake agreement” as a basis to deal with a contractor. Others have lawyers prepare comprehensive written contracts. There is no one size fits all approach. But here are a few things to keep in mind:

Keep in mind what is important to you. For instance, if you need the work completed by a certain date you should have that stipulated in writing. The agreement should also stipulate the consequences for not completing the project on time.

‘Ends for an End to Cancer’ raises whopping $21,616 John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The fourth annual “Ends for an End to Cancer” event at the Richmond Curling Club last Saturday was both a fun event and a fundraising event. You know that it had to be a fun event just going by the names of some of the teams involved in the funspiel – Bruce’s Saints, Darwin’s Bulldogs, Fred’s Flintstones, Pert’s Peeps, Scotch and Rocks, Hakuna Ma Tatas, The Brushoffs, The Hooligans and Sweeping Beauties. There was lots of fun on the ice as well – there was Kent Fraser curling in a cow suit; there was Sue-Ann Blakely with her Canada top hat; and don’t forget Herb O’Heron with his flamboyant headgear. And, besides the two sixend games per team, there were the on-ice contests such as make a team making a draw touching the button earning possession of a so-called “fat bastard” which is layman’s terms is a bottle of wine and which kept getting passed around as each new draw ended up at the button. Hogging a rock i.e. not getting it over the hog line meant a donation of a toonie to a waiting piggy bank. And then there was a “hotshots” team competition as well. And that was only the on-ice stuff! Off ice, there was a silent auction, raffle draws, a 50/50 draw, and a toonie toss which was especially appealing to rum drinkers. There was a photo area where teams could dress up in a variety of props such as wigs and have a crazy team photo taken.

And at the wrap-up gathering, there was lots of laughter and fun as Kent Fraser raised a few more dollars for the cause by promising to show his boxers if the price was right. And it was and he did, dropping his pants as he stood on a chair! Each team also was given a quiz to answer, something that could boost the team’s score in the funspiel. And don’t forget the free lunches which all of the teams got to enjoy. But, while all of this meant a day of fun, it did not overshadow the true reason for the event and that was to raise funds for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and its work in providing services to cancer patients and survivors and in helping find a cure for cancer. When the amount raised was officially unveiled at the end of the day, it amounted to a whopping $21,616.01! They call curling the “roaring game” and there was quite a “roar” of approval when this fundraising figure was announced. And, oh yes, while the fight against curling was the real winner in the event, there was a curling winner as well. Fred’s Flintstones, Rick Reddick’s team, finished on top with 60 points. Tied for second with 57 points each were The Brushoffs (Marty Burghgraef’s team) and team skipped by Herb O’Heron. Taking a page out of the Masters golf tournament’s recipe for success, this event presents green jackets to the team which raises the most funds in donations related to the event. This year the top fundraising team, with over $5,300 raised, was Warren’s Daffy-dils comprised of Darryl Gow, Sam Gow, Matthew Haughn and Jes-

These jackets are passed on each year. And while Warren Reddick, a long time and beloved Richmond Curling Club member after whom Warren’s Daffy-dils is named, could not participate this year due to his own battle against cancer which has been underway for three and a half years now, he was certainly there in everyone’s thoughts. His name was mentioned a couple of times in the remarks by winning teams and the final group toast to end the event saw everyone toast not only the event organizers but also Warren. Co-chairs of the organizing committee for this year’s event were Bev O’Brien, Stacey Craig, Maggie Armstrong, Brenda Moffitt, Suzanne Baird and Ronna Reddick. They got lots

of help from others such as those looking after the bar, icemaker Terri Suffel and her ice crew, those who looked after the raffle and silent auction and other contests, those who handled the kitchen chores and served the lunches – the list goes on and on! One special touch at the funspiel was provided by bagpiper Rob Miller who piped the teams out onto the ice for the first draws for both the early Jennifer Jones’ Scotties Draw and the later Team Canada’s Brier Draw. It was just like at the Brier itself, with the sounds of Rob Miller’s bagpipes filling the Richmond Curling Club as he led the curlers, clapping in rhythmic unison, out onto the ice – a ceremonial beginning to a most significant day.

Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre Sometimes life deals us more than we can handle. We need support and guidance to find our way through our distress and despair. Dr. Rebecca Moore, C.Psych and her team at the new Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre have the keys to unlock emotional doors to lead to a more stable life. “Almost anyone can benefit from counselling or therapy. However, they must be motivated to make changes,” points out Dr. Moore. “The therapeutic relationship is unique. It may be the one relationship in the client’s life in which they are accepted unconditionally. This enables them to confront and address difficulties that they may otherwise be unable to on their own or with a loved one or friend. Therapists are specially trained to work with clients using evidencebased treatments that have been shown to be effective.” The Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre at 99 Kakulu Rd, Suite 112, offers a full range of services from a team of psychologists and psychotherapists. “Therapy helps individuals/families/couples, understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and helps them to overcome difficulties in living such as stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem, etc.,” explains Dr. Moore. “It also helps people cope with the effects of trauma and other adverse life events. Therapy is also beneficial in treating mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.” Whatever the circumstance, the trained practitioners at Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre are available to help clients overcome obstacles on their life path. “We provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families who are experiencing a wide variety of psychological and interpersonal difficulties,” says Dr. Moore. “Special areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and problems related to identity and self-esteem, including issues pertinent to LGBT in-

dividuals. We also have expertise in parenting as well as issues specific to children and adolescents, such as behavioural problems, coping with the effects of parental conflict and divorce, school refusal, and psychoeducational assessments.” Born and raised in the Ottawa area, Dr. Moore developed her devotion to helping people when she worked at a small private school in Carp. “I had earned an Honours Bachelor Degree in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Toronto. I was trying to figure out my career path while I worked part-time as a teacher and tutor at Venta Preparatory School. This school was founded by a clinical psychologist – Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas (who is now 101 years of age). All children, at the time, received psychoeducational assessments as part of the admissions process so as to better understand their intellectual, personality and learning profile. I was fascinated by this process and by her ability to understand the dynamics of each child. I decided to return to school when my first son was almost two years old– 4 years parttime to complete a second undergraduate degree and then the PhD program at the University of Ottawa.” Dr. Moore has been seeing clients since 2003. She was a psychologist for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board for over three years and has been in private practice since 2011. At the Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre, Dr. Moore is joined by a team of experienced psychologists and psychotherapists. “We have a number of therapists at the Centre, who see children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.” Scott McCleery, M.A is a psychotherapist who focuses on adult, adolescent and couples therapy. “My practice is guided by an interest in creating a relationship of change through use of advanced empathy and caring dialogue,”

explains Scott.“Under these supportive conditions, you may find it easier to express, develop deeper awareness of, and act in new ways, gradually challenging and potentially resolving difficulties in living. This approach often leads to growth in areas of inner resiliency and deeper self-awareness.” Cristina Guevara, M.A. is a psychotherapist who focuses on individual, couple, child and family therapy. She is also fluent in Spanish. “The healing process is unique to each person. While many go through similar events, not everyone experiences them in the same way,” says Cristina. By viewing my clients through a holistic lens, I develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship from which to create a safe and open environment where processing of past experiences can take place. My primary focus is working with clients who have experienced trauma. Because the nature of trauma is complex, I use an integrative, person-centered approach to meet my clients’ needs. In addition to other evidence-based interventions, I use Play Therapy, Sandtray-Worldplay, and expressive arts therapies.” Dr. Blanka Miletic, C.Psych is a psychologist (supervised practice) who works with individual adults. “I work with adults who experience a wide range of psychological and interpersonal difficulties. My clinical interests include issues related to anxiety, depression, resolving past or current relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem problems, anger management, common life stressors (e.g., work-related, loss), and cross-cultural struggles (e.g., cultural identity, cross-cultural adjustment),” explains Dr. Miletic. “I approach my clients in a genuine and compassionate fashion, and I strive to provide an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and respect where one can feel comfortable and safe to tell their story, explore their difficulties, and work towards their own healing. I believe in the uniqueness of human experience and I place an emphasis on the im-

pact of unique psycho-social factors as well as cultural context in which individuals live. Therefore, I tailor my treatment approach to the unique needs of my clients.” The Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre also provides psychoeducational assessments which provide information relating to learning disabilities, ADHD, giftedness, etc. The length of time someone is in counselling depends on the individual case. “There are a number of factors including the nature of the problem and the client’s current life circumstances,” explains Dr. Moore. “Some people attend from 6-12 sessions. Others find it beneficial to attend therapy for a number of months or years. “Research shows that therapy helps with the reduction of distress and symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Therapy can enable individuals to live with more insight and selfacceptance and to understand and change unhelpful thinking styles or interpersonal patterns.” Each therapist at the Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre keeps their own hours. There may be daytime, evening, or even weekend appointments possible depending on the therapist. Office administrator Anita Perez McCleery takes care of finding the best therapist for an individual and scheduling initial appointments. Therapy is not covered by OHIP but may be covered by most private insurance plans. Fees for therapy vary depending on the practitioner and range from $140 to $180 per hour. Sessions are booked in one hour blocks (50 minutes per session plus 10 minutes paperwork). The fee for psychoeducational assessment services is approximately $2500 and includes initial interview, testing sessions, report writing, and feedback interview.

Helping Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation The ceremony ended with piper Miller enjoying a toast to the piper, assisted by Maggie Armstrong. The silent auction at this “Ends for an End to Cancer” fundraiser event drew a lot of interest and bids. Among the items up for grabs were two Ottawa Senators jerseys, a morning wake up basket donated by Greg and Gail Boyle, five hours of garden labour, a portable BBQ and tools from Home Depot in Kanata, a golf package including a golf bag, gift card, golf lesson and more, an Easter basket from Bruce and Brenda Moffitt, and a Calabogie race car experience. At the lunch break during the event, the curlers got to hear from Lorraine Lipcsei, a fellow curler who was playing for the Group Therapy team in the funspiel and who has been battling an advanced form of breast cancer since May 2010. She told the assembled curlers that fundraisers like this Ends

for an End to Cancer event were important because clinical trials of new treatments and drugs for cancer are not included in hospital budgets. That means that they have to be funded with the help of fundraisers. She herself has benefitted from participating in a clinical trial. She said that she has received 69 treatments in the trial and is still receiving treatments but she said that the risks of being on an experimental drug are worth it, calling herself a “walking miracle.” She said that she had been given six months to two years to live when first diagnosed. Now, five years later, “I’m still here,” she said. Ms. Lipcsei praised the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s Maplesoft Centre which provides, among other things, exercise and nutrition programs for cancer patients. The Maplesoft Centre was also praised by Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation representative Sam Blair who was on hand to receive the cer-

Silver medal winner curls in fundraiser News - In February, Jessica Armstrong was a member of the Canadian team which won the silver medal in women’s curling at the World University Winter Games in Granada, Spain. Last Saturday, Jessica served as the skip for the Warren’s Daffy-dils team in the “Ends for an End to Cancer” fundraising curling event at the Richmond Curling Club in Richmond. And the team won the funspiel’s coveted green jackets as the group which raised the most in donations for the event, over $5,300. So, two months, two great accomplishments. The Richmond Curling Club is familiar territory to Jessica Armstrong because her first exposure to curling was in family gatherings at the Richmond Curling Club. Jessica, you see, is the niece of Shirley Reddick, one of the Richmond Curling Club’s long time curlers. And it is her husband Warren after whom the Warren’s Daffy-dils team on which Jessica played last Saturday is named. Jessica had her World University Games silver medal with her at the event last Saturday and she was acknowledged for her curling achievement at the Games in February, receiving a round of appreciative applause when her February accomplishment was announced at the event’s lunch break.

Dr. Corrine Motluk

Dr. Alan Franzmann

In 2013 the City of O awa, Traffic Services Branch, ini ated a pilot project of Temporary (seasonal) Traffic Calming treatments on a number of local and collector streets. The Temporary Traffic Calming (TTC) treatment refers to the installa on of flexible delineator signs (flex-stakes) on the centerline of a roadway, typically within school or playground areas. The ini al results showed the effec veness of the TTC devices in reducing speed and increasing driver compliance with the posted speed limit. As the treatments are seasonal only, they were implemented in late June 2013 and were removed by December 2013.

Dr. Graeme Ferguson

By the end of the 2014 summer season the Temporary Traffic Calming Program included the installa on of flexstakes at a total of 53 loca ons. City staff collected 2014 speed data before and a er the installa on of flex-stakes at each of the 53 loca ons in order to confirm their effec veness. On average, for all 53 loca ons, the 85th percen le speed was reduced by 5Km/hr and the rate of compliance was increased by 20%.

emonial giant cheque representing the funds raised by this Ends for an End to Cancer fundraiser. She said that in its four years of existence, the Maplesoft Centre has helped about 100 families through its cancer coaching service which helps cancer patients understand their diagnosis and how to cope with that. This year’s cancer fundraiser was the fourth annual one at the Richmond Curling Club. It all started four years ago when Suzanne Baird and Maggie Armstrong got talking after curling and thought that the Curling Club needed to do something to help in the fight against cancer as family and friends were dying from the disease. It was started as a one-time event but now it has been going for four years with increasing success. This year, for instance, 16 teams were all signed up for the event in just over 24 hours. In addition, local businesses have been extremely generous in giving support to the event. In the first three years of the event, approximately $38,000 was raised for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. This year’s fundraising amount of $21,616.01 will take the four year total to nearly $60,000. Wow!

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club O S U H O S TS S A N TO S F C AC A D E M Y COAC H F RO M B R A Z I L – LU I S F E R N A N D O PA E S D E BA R RO S OSU has been pleased to host Coach Luis FernaNdo Paes De Barros of the famed Santos FC Academy of Brazil this past week. Most recently, world superstar Neymar, of Barcelona F.C. was a product of the historic club in Brazil. Santos F.C. are probably most famous for another Brazilian and world superstar – Pele. Coach De Barros has become known internationally for his knowledge and insight into the development of Brazilian players utilizing a methodology of futsal and soccer. He has travelled abroad, most recently being a guest presenter at the English F.A. National Conference and subsequently at the more local Ontario Soccer Conference. OSU Club Technical Director Paul Harris had the pleasure to see Coach De Barros present on both occasions, noting that “Luis’s approach and depth of knowledge on the development of players in another soccer advanced country was something that intrigued him greatly. Harris thought that this was something that could help the coaches at OSU to see first hand another countries player development style and also subject the OSU players to an additional proven philosophy and methodology. Coach De Barros was able to work with a number of our Academy teams this past week. From this, our Academy players have been exposed to another development approach and philosophy, which will aid in their growth as teams and players. “OSU prides itself on providing new and innovative development opportunities for our players and coaches, in terms of their education in the game of soccer,” Harris stated.” These types of opportunities represent tangible development and education to players and coaches.” Through a growing network and reputation in the field of player development, OSU continues to be able to attract coaches of this nature to the club and Ottawa. OSU has a slate of additional opportunities over the forthcoming year with visits from other professional and national team coaches. More information on these opportunities will be posted and found at www.forceacademy.ca

News - Seven year old Addison Baird gave a helping “hand” at last Saturday’s fourth annual “Ends for an End to Cancer’ fundraiser at the Richmond Curling Club in Richmond. In fact, Addie gave a lot of hands as she sold cut outs of her own hand for five dollars, with the purchaser able to write his or her name on the cut out which Addie then posted on the circle of hands which she created around a space on the wall at the Curling Club lounge, showing all those who were joining in the fight against cancer. Addie, who is a student at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond, is a veteran helper at this cancer fundraiser at the Richmond Curling Club, having helped out at all four of the events or ever since she was three years old. She got the idea to make the hands and sell them in return for a $5 donation at the event and after running the idea past her mother, Suzanne Baird, one of the event’s organizers, and getting her OK, she spent two weeks making the cut out hands in an assortment of colours. At the end of the day, her circle of hands on the wall featured a lot of hands, a fact verified by her fundraising total - $275. This is not the only fundraising that Addie has done to help out this annual curling fundraiser to fight cancer. Last year Addie had made a bracelet which was one of the items in the silent auction. It attracted a successful bid of $100. This year, Addie not only looked after her circle of hands fundraising project but she also helped out in preparing the tickets in the 50/50 draw. Indeed, her work was rewarded as she was the one who picked out the winning tickets in this 50/50 draw at the end of the day. Addie was at the fundraiser throughout the whole day.

Two student vocal groups perform at Gaia Java John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Youthful voices were raised in harmony at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. These were the voices of two student vocal groups from All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata – the flASH Show Choir and the Bluesettes and Co. vocal jazz collective. Both groups presented mainly a cappella arrangements in their performances, although some of the duet or smaller group numbers included guitar or ipad musical backing. One song even included an appearance by a bass, not only to add a touch of musical accompaniment but also to be a musical prop as the song was “All About That Bass,” the 2014 debut single hit by American singer/ songwriter Meghan Trainor. After opening with a location appropriate, finger snapping a cappella tune about coffee, the FlASH Show Choir launched into a program that

included both offerings by the whole group as well as tunes presented by smaller groups or duets drawn from the larger group. One of the most robust songs, in which the capacity audience participated, was the singing of “Happy Birthday” to flASH Show Choir member Taylor McMahon who was celebrating her 18th birthday that day. It was Taylor McMahon, along with the group’s MC Nicola Power, who joined with bass player Angelique Francis to present the “All About That Bass” song. Among the other songs presented was “Blank Space,” a 2014 number one hit by American singer Taylor Swift and “Toxic,” a 2004 worldwide hit single by American singer Britney Spears for which she won a Grammy Award in 2005 for “Best Dance Recording.” The flASH Show Choir wrapped up its performance at the Gaia Java shop with a grand finale, a stripped down version of its major show tune presentation that normally

would include dancing and lots of movement on stage but in the confined performance

area at the Gaia Java shop, it was mainly singing, telling the story of spy teams compet-

ing to handle an evil villain. Among the tunes sung was “Secret Agent Man,” a song

that was not only a gold record for American rock ‘n roll singer Johnny Rivers but also was the opening theme song for the 1960’s British TV spy series “Danger Man” starring Patrick McGoohan. Another of the tunes with a spy theme that was sung was “Diamonds Are Forever,” from the 1971 James Bond film of the same name, starring Sean Connery. This is the first year for this flASH Show Choir which includes 20 All Saints Catholic High School students in total who love to sing, dance and perform. The group is going to a national competition in Toronto next week and is practising twice a week in preparation. This performance at the Gaia Java shop was the group’s second public performance. After an intermission, another All Saints Catholic High School vocal group, the mutlivoice “Bluesettes and Co. vocal jazz collective,” took over, also presenting an a cappella set that included a variety of songs.

Including in its offerings were the James Taylor 1993 hit “That Lonesome Road”; The 2011 hit “Someone Like You” by English singer Adele; “Day Tripper,” the 1966 hit by The Beatles; the country ballad “Love” which was covered by the Canadian music sister duo Lennon & Maisy for a commercial in 2014; “Stand By Me,” a song originally done by American singer Ben E. King which has since had over 400 recorded versions of it done; the 1968 Beatles’ hit “Blackbird”; “New York State of Mind,” a song most closely associated with American singer Billy Joel who wrote it and who recorded it on a 1976 album (it was never released as a single); jazz standard “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” written by American composer Cole Porter in 1936 which became a signature song for Frank Sinatra, was a hit in 1966 for The Four Seasons and a song which has been recorded by many sing-

ers; “Seasons of Love,” a song from the rock musical “Rent” which ran on Broadway from 1996 to 2008 and won a Tony Award for Best Musical; “After The Gold Rush,” written by Neil Young and included on his 1970 album of the same name; and “In The Still of the Night,” the group’s finale first recorded by the American doo-wop group Five Satins in 1956. Brother and sister Marijo Arias and Jonari Arias were among the group’s performers who sang separately, with the pair singing a two-song rhythm and blues medley, with Marijo playing the guitar as well. “Bluesettes and Co.” vocal jazz collective is a group of All Saints Catholic High School students from grades 9 through 12 who successfully auditioned for the group. The students not only love to sing but also have a love of jazz and blues, although they perform a cappella music of all genres. Sometimes they perform their own arrangements. At

their Gaia Java performance, their version of Neil Young’s “After The Gold Rush” was

sung using an arrangement by Gaia Java co-owner Paul Jay who is also an a cappella

group singer in his own right. “Bluesettes and co.” performs in concerts with other

groups and also takes part in vocal competitions in places like Toronto and Montreal.

Stittsville Rams in EOJHL final series Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville Rams travelled to the arena in Buckingham last Friday and returned home as Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) Metro/Valley Conference champions. The Rams are now going on to play the Casselman Vikings for the EOJHL championship, with the Vikings having won the Rideau/St. Lawrence Conference championship. The Casselman Vikings are the defending EOJHL champions. The Stittsville Rams defeated the Gatineau Mustangs four games to two in their best-of-seven Metro/Valley Conference championship playoff series. After losing the opening game of the series 3-0 to Gatineau on Wednesday, March 18, the Rams rallied for victories on both Friday, March 20 and Sunday, March 22 to take a two games to one lead in the series.

The Gatineau Mustangs, though, tied up the series with a 5-3 victory on Monday, March 23. This set the stage for two straight Rams’ victories to take the series and advance to the league championship series against the Casselman Vikings. The Rams clinched the Metro/Valley Conference championship with a 7-4 win over Gatineau Mustangs in a game at Buckingham last Friday, March 27. The Rams opened the scoring in this game after just 49 seconds of the first period with Jordan Boutillier scoring, assisted by Talmadge Farnes. The Gatineau Mustangs came back 53 seconds later with a goal to tie up the score but then the Rams scored three goals in a six minute, two second span to take a commanding 4-1 lead in the game. Two of these goals came on the power play, with Riley McGuire scoring unassisted

and then Parker Aimes scoring, assisted by Jordan Boutillier and Mitch Kerwin. Talmadge Farnes then scored the Rams’ fourth goal of the game with Matt Allan adding an assist, giving the Rams a 4-1 lead with just over 12 minutes gone in the first period. This is how the first period ended, with the Rams ahead by a 4-1 score. In the second period, the hometown Mustangs rallied, scoring three goals by the 16:54 mark of the period while the Rams only managed one goal. This meant that the score was a close 5-4 with the Rams in a shorthanded situation. But Matt Veaudry of the Rams scored an unassisted, shorthanded goal at the 18:02 mark of the period to give the Rams a more comfortable 6-4 lead which is how the period ended. In the third period, Cole

Carter of the Rams, assisted by Clay Carter, scored at the 8:30 mark to give the Rams a 7-4 lead which is how the game ended. The Rams were the Metro/Valley Conference champs! Matt Couvrette in the Rams’ net faced 28 shots in this game while the Rams directed 40 shots at the Gatineau Mustangs goal. The Stittsville Rams had set the stage for this Friday night victory by winning the fifth game of the series 5-2 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Wednesday, March 25, taking a three games to two lead in the series. In this game, the Stittsville Rams were ahead 2-0 by the 6:19 mark of the first period thanks to a goal by Ben Wade assisted by Shane Hiley and Jake Oliver, and a goal by Cole Carter, assisted by Mike DiBello and Mitch Kerwin. The visiting Gatineau Mus-

tangs got one goal back as the period ended with the Rams leading by a 2-1 score. In the second period, the Rams did all the scoring with Mike DiBello scoring at the 6:54 mark, assisted by Shane Hiley and Cole Carter, and then Matt Allan scoring, assisted by Connor Cobbold and Jake Oliver, with just 21 seconds to go in the period. This gave the Rams a 4-1 lead going into the third period. The third period was scoreless until the 18:19 mark when Neil Penner of the Rams scored on a power play, assisted by Jordan Boutillier and Matt Allan, giving the Rams a 5-1 lead. The Gatineau Mustangs scored just five seconds later to make the score 5-2 which is how the game ended. In this game, the Stittsville Rams had 46 shots on the Gatineau net while Rams’ goalie Matt Couvrette faced 41 shots.

The teams had gone into this game all tied up in the series, two games apiece. The Gatineau Mustangs had won their second game in the series on Monday, March 23 when they defeated the visiting Stittsville Rams 5-3 in a game in Buckingham. Gatineau led 3-1 after the first period of this game and had a 4-3 lead after two periods before scoring the only goal of the game in the third period to win by a 5-3 score. The third period goal was an empty net goal at the 19:29 mark. Scoring for the Stittsville Rams in this game were Ben Wade, Matt Allan and Connor Cobbold. Picking up assists in the game for the Rams were Ben Wade with two and Mitch Kerwin, Cole Carter, Neil Penner and Riley McGuire with one each.

MARY COOK Winter still had Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - “Don’t count on it,” Father said from behind the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, instead of sitting at the end of the old pine table in front of her diaries as usual, was that night was gathering up mitts, wool hats, and ordering us, the five of us, to put our long underwear in the dirty clothes, because it wasn’t likely we would be wearing it again the next day. Coming from the Northcote school that day, we had to carry our coats as the sun beat down on us, and the smell of spring was in the air. Just a few days before, it was cold and a fierce wind cut across the Twenty-Acre Field, and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that winter was still around. But now, so soon after, the weather changed, and we could see that much of the snow had

long way to go

gone from the fields, and the Northcote Side Road was bare. It was no wonder Mother said spring was in the air, and it was time to get rid of the heavy clothes and that included the long underwear we had been wearing since the first bite of winter in the fall. There wasn’t one of us who wasn’t thrilled to be rid of the terrible long johns. We were more than happy to bid the long underwear goodbye. That night, Mother was gathering up the mitts, scarves and hats and piling everything on a chair near the back door. It wasn’t Monday, so there would be no washing. Everything would have to wait for the laundry tub until after the weekend. I could see Father shaking his head from his rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Finally, he couldn’t keep quiet any longer. “I’m telling you

Mabel, there’s plenty winter out there yet. Everyone will be back in that long underwear, you can bet on it.” Mother stopped gathering up the mitts, hats and scarves. “Now, Albert, where were you all day? I’m telling you we’ve seen the last of the snow. Sure, it’s like May out there today.” Father lifted the lid off the Findlay Oval and slapped his pipe into the firebox, emptying it and getting ready for another load of pipe tobacco. He took his time sitting back down in the rocking chair. And then he went on to explain to Mother once again all the signs that pointed to a long winter and that it wasn’t over yet, and it mattered not how warm it was that day, or if all the snow had gone off the Northcote Side Road. He explained a sure sign was how deep the early snow was. “That’s a sure sign. If the deer can reach the branches of the trees, you can count on a long winter.” He relit his pipe. “And remember when we butchered and the pig liver ‘melt’ showed those little lumps? Well, that told me what we were in for.” Mother just shook her head, and once again told Father that those “old wives tales” as she

called them, held no water with her. The next morning, the bedroom had chilled off overnight, as I ran to jump into my clothes for school, so glad to be rid of the long underwear. But it seemed awfully bright out the bedroom window and it wasn’t an early morning sun either. I went to the window and lo and behold, the snow was coming down in buckets. And it looked like it had snowed all night. Then I heard Mother coming up the stairs. She had dug out the long underwear from the pile of clothes we had taken off the night before and without a word, handed them over to each of us. When we went downstairs for breakfast, our hats, mitts and scarves were waiting for us at the back door. Father came in from the chores and sat down at the table for his breakfast. Mother was banging the frying pan around on the top of the stove. She was wearing the look she wore when she was as mad as a hatter. Father knew better than to mention the signs he had talked about the night before or to say, “I told you so,” when Mother hissed, “and I don’t want to hear about the deer eating low branches or spots of a pig’s liver.”
