A group of Richmond teens has won the top prize in the Ot-tawa Public Library’s teen video contest.
The four youth took the top spot in the online video contest for their short video rendition of S.E. Hinton’s “The Outsiders.”
The video contest was launched in early March to encourage teens aged 13 to 18 to make a one-minute video about a favourite book and post it to YouTube.
Grade 12 South Carleton high school students Matt McGuire, Howie Warren, Alex St-Jean and Tim Berg chose to recreate the classic teen novel’s most memo-rable fi ghts between the Greasers and the Socs, including the scene where Johnny kills another kid and ultimately dies in hospital from other injuries.

Even the teddy bears and stuffed toys looking on from the
side of the performance area seemed to enjoy the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers’ rendition of “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” at the group’s annual spring concert
last Saturday. But this was only one of nu-
merous poignant and touching moments in the concert’s foray into the songs of childhood which indeed was the title for this year’s concert – Songs from Childhood.”
And these ranged from songs related to the Friendly Giant to the Wizard of Oz to the Walt Disney theme song “When You Wish Upon A Star” fi rst sung by Jiminy Cricket in the 1940 production of Pinocchio to “Skinamarink,” the song made famous by the children’s enter-tainment trio of Sharon, Lois and Bram.
Red, yellow, blue and green balloons adorned each side of the performance area for the concert which this year was held at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. Stuffed toys, “A”, “B”, “C” blocks and a rock-ing chair, all arranged to the left of the performance area, ensured that the concert’s child-hood theme could never stray from the audience’s conscious-ness.
And while the songs were from childhood experiences and memories, Goulbourn Jubilee Singers director Linda Crawford said it best at the concert when she noted that while the choir’s offerings may be the songs of childhood, they nonetheless are musical vehicles giving lifelong pleasure.
The Jubilee Singers, as per tradition, were joined at this concert by members of the Ju-nior Jubilees, the junior choir associated with the Jubilee Sing-ers. So, these youthful voices provided such memorable tunes as “Yellow Submarine,” “Rub-ber Duckie,” “Edelweiss,” and what may be the world’s longest
one word song title, “Supercalif-fragilisticexpeallidocious.”
The senior Jubilee Singers, performing with a colourful fl air thanks to cloth banners of dif-ferent colours (red, yellow, blue and green) hanging from their song books, sang such tunes as “You are 16, Going on 17” from The Sound of Music and “Hush-abye Mountain,” fi rst sung in the 1968 move “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” The Jubilee Sing-ers also included both “Amazing Grace” and “River in Judea” in their offerings and while these may not be specifi cally songs of childhood, they are great addi-tions to any concert.
Linda Crawford directs the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the Junior Jubilees, while Doll Creelman is the accompanist for both groups. Jane Simpson was the executive producer for this spring’s concert while Har-vey Renaud was back in his role as stage manager.
Katherine Allan of the Junior Jubilees sang a solo in the con-cert as did Karolina Moo.
Sue Lopez of the Jubilee Sing-ers also sang a solo in the ren-dition of “Do-Re-Mi” from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The Sound of Music” which featured the combined voices of both the Jubilee Sing-ers and Junior Jubilees.
Meghan McInnis accompa-nied several of the songs in the concert on her fl ute. She also performed a fl ute solo with “You are 16, Going on 17.”

As fi rst place winners the group won an Apple iPad, which they said they will likely sell to their tech teacher and split the cash, since the iPad can’t easily be shared.
McGuire said the group took on the project on relatively short notice when their communications technology teach-er discovered the contest online and of-fered it as an extra credit project at the end of March.
Storyboard artist Alex St-Jean said it took them a few days to fi gure out what they wanted to do and where to fi lm in or-der to make a storyboard. Since fi lming locations are limited in Richmond, the group said they mostly stuck to the Jock River Park and the local grocery store to shoot their scenes, which they completed in an afternoon.
McGuire said it wasn’t hard to shoot fi ght scenes from the book, since the group often makes similar fi lms for fun on their own.
“We kind of have some experience with fi lming fi ght scenes,” he laughed. “But there’s always the issue of getting the angle right and making it look realistic.”
Second place went to Daniel Parkes Jr for his video about C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe, and third place was awarded to Nepean resident Robert Cloutier for his video depicting
George Orwell’s 1984. The Ottawa Public Library received a
total of 51 video submissions in the con-test. In order to participate, teens between the ages of 13 and 18 had to create a one minute video about a favourite book and upload it to Youtube. Teens could choose to produce a book trailer, a parody, a re-view, a dramatization of a favourite scene or anything related to the chosen book.
“This contest was a way to bring to-gether what teens are reading with new technologies,” said Jane Venus, manager of children and teen services at the Ot-tawa Public Library.
To view the submissions, go to Youtube and type OPLtvc2011 in the search box.
“The Outsiders” is a coming-of-age novel fi rst published in 1967 which tells the story of two rival groups, the Greas-ers and the Socs, who come from different socio-economic worlds. It was made into a movie in 1983.
“The Outsiders” was a controversial book when it was fi rst published. The book was even banned from some schools and libraries because of its portrayal of gang violence, underage smoking and drinking and its strong language and family dysfunction. However, nowadays, it is even part of the curriculum in some schools. Its author, S.E. Hinton, remains as one of today’s most popular writers of young adult fi ction.

Sacred Heart High School grade 10 student Kiana Norman had a friend suf-fering from cancer. Not one to stand by in such a situation, Kiana arranged a lunchtime bake sale at the school which raised funds so that she could buy a gift for her suffering friend.
Kiana eventually held three such bake sales at the school, raising a total of $700 in the fi nal two, money which was donat-ed for cancer research.
Kiana, while spearheading the bake sales, acknowledges that she had lots of help from friends in organizing these three events. Unfortunately her friend has since passed away.
There may be more fundraising bake sales held to benefi t cancer research but if not, Kiana says that she will fi nd other ways to direct funds to help cancer re-search in memory of her friend.
Having a generous heart is not Kiana’s only asset. She also loves to sing and has a passion for fashion. Indeed, her goal is to eventually open up her own bridal shop with an international focus.
“I’ve been very passionate about fash-ion since grade three,” Kiana says, say-ing that she hopes to attend a fashion de-sign course at Ryerson in Toronto before opening her own business specializing in bridal gowns and prom dresses.
As far as her singing goes, Kiana, who turns 16 in October, has never taken sing-ing lessons but she admits that she has been singing ever since she could talk. She describes her singing style as a mix-ture of country and pop.
She used to play the clarinet in elemen-tary school and is now just starting to learn how to play the guitar.
K i a n a has per-f o r m e d at vari-ous talent shows at the school but much of her singing is done for her own pleasure.
“I tend to sing at home quite often,” she says, say-ing that s i n g i n g a l w a y s makes her feel better as she los-es herself in the singing which gets her mind off anything else going on.
Kiana used to play competitive soccer and fi gure skate but currently has put athletic endeavours on the back burner because of time and cost concerns, pre-ferring now to hit the gym for a workout every once in a while.
This year in school, she is really en-joying her math and art courses and has found the religion course very interest-ing.
She is particularly interested in any business courses in view of the fact that eventually she hopes to open her own fashion-based business.
Kiana, who likes hanging out with her friends at Tim Hortons or McDonald’s, admits to being a cell phone junkie.
“I go everywhere with my cell phone,” she says, noting that she keeps all of her important information on it. She also
has a Facebook page, although she says that she does not use it as often as she used to.

Dear Stittsville Residents,
City of Ottawa Councillor Reports
By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six
StittsvilleCity of Ottawa
With the large amount of rainfall Ottawa has received these past few weeks, you are being asked to stay off the ball diamonds to prevent damage to water soaked areas. Access to ball diamonds will be postponed until conditions improve next week. Saturated grounds have prevented Public Works staff from accessing the diamonds to perform the necessary spring maintenance. Staff will continue to work extremely hard to prepare City of Ottawa ball diamonds for public use as weather permits. Please be reminded that access to sports fi elds is not permitted until May 15, 2011. Thank you for your patience and for helping to keep Ottawa’s fi elds in good condition.
Be Prepared... Are you ready?While it’s always a good idea to be prepared for an emergency, the City of Ottawa is encouraging all residents to take some time during Emergency Preparedness Week, May 1 to 7, to ask themselves the question, “Am I ready?”The recent outdoor water use ban for Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick, issued to maintain safe drinking water, or the boil order experienced by residents in Munster Hamlet as a result of power outages during Thursday’s windstorm, show that we are not immune to potential emergency situations. A personal and home emergency preparedness plan and kit is just as valuable as any other form of insurance that you may hold for your family and dwelling.Home emergency planning is simple:• know the risks• make a plan• make an emergency kit.
Your kit should include at least four litres of water per adult, per day for drinking, cooking and washing, for at least a three-day period. Children, nursing mothers and people with special needs will need extra water.The City and other levels of government plan for emergencies on an ongoing basis so that they are always ready to respond. However, the responsibility for emergency preparedness starts in the home. When individual residents and their families are ready for an emergency, the City as a whole can respond and recover more quickly.
If you would like to learn more about the City‘s Emergency Management Plan and “Are You Ready?” emergency preparedness program, visit the Emergency Management section of ottawa.ca.
For information on volunteer training, contact Nathalie Rochefort of the City’s Offi ce of Emergency Management at 613-580-2424, extension 28078, or by e-mail at [email protected].
To learn more about the current outdoor water use ban for Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick, and the measures currently in place to lessen the impact to these residents, visit ottawa.ca/waterinfo
Lost Recycling BinsI have received a number of emails and calls regarding lost recycling bins over the last few days. Residents that have lost their recycling bins may call 311 and they will be sent a coupon that can be redeemed at any Canadian Tire store in the city for a new bin at no cost. You may also drop into my Ward offi ce at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex as I will have some on hand. Please call ahead as quantities may diminish quickly.
DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED BY STUDENTS AT ALGONQUIN COLLEGEAs a part of their fi nal assignments, a group of Algonquin College Media students created The Stittsville Volunteer web site, a web site that provides a link for both volunteers and Stittsville agencies who wish to work together on a volunteer basis.
The idea to create this volunteer web site was founded in 2010 by two Stittsville residents who have spent a lifetime volunteering and wanted to give something back to the community.
The Volunteer Stittsville website means If you would like to volunteer simply visit the Volunteer Opportunities page. The page provides a list of Stittsville organizations who currently offer volunteer opportunities as well as their contact information.www.volunteerstittsville.org
Your Safety...Shad’s BusinessOnce again the month of May will see the start of my anti-speeding program for 2011. One of my main priorities is to ensure our community remains safe and in order to do this, I must fi rst examine where the problems lie. Please be assured this program does not replace any police activity in our community. My hope is that this program will help to raise awareness of the issue and encourage people to practice safe driving.
Any community groups interested in participating in Your Safety…Shad’s Business are encouraged to contact my offi ce at 613-580-2476 or by email at [email protected] and we will arrange a time and date for your organization to join us.
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 offi ce anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at [email protected].
My ward offi ce is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, located at 1500 Shea Road. The hours of operation are Mondays 9-2pm, Wednesdays 3-8pm, Fridays 9-5pm, and Saturday 9-1pm. Please do not hesitate to pay us a visit. I welcome your call or e-mail to arrange an appointment.

Mary Cook talks about memoriesJOHN CURRY
YouTube videos are spectacular. Video presen-tations are awesome. But good old fashioned story-telling remains priceless. It just can’t be beat by modern technology.
Just ask all those who were part of the capac-ity crowd at the women’s breakfast hosted by the Catholic Women’s League of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville last Saturday morning when the fea-tured speaker was none other than the Ottawa Valley’s most renowned storyteller, Mary Cook.
She regaled those at the breakfast with stories, mainly of her childhood growing up in Renfrew County, something which has provided the sub-stance for 11 published books, with another one on the way.
Mary, who delivers about two speeches a week at present, called her talk the “Joy of Memories,” and with good reason, be-
cause to her memories are key.
“Memories to me are very important,” she told the ladies at the breakfast, adding that her memories of life during the Depres-sion of the 1930’s come from having lived in an old log house in Renfrew County along with her family and, more impor-tantly, a mother who did not want to be there.
The house was structur-ally cold but Mary tells of a warmth within it.
“Why do I fi nd warmth in a house that was so cold?” she asked rhetori-cally at the breakfast, an-swering her own query with the statement that the warmth came from what went on inside, such as looking through the Eaton’s catalogue, or her father warming his feet on the oven door, or her moth-er writing her diaries.
Indeed, it is these dia-ries, which her mother kept hidden at the time, that have formed the ba-sis of many of the stories which Mary has written
about in her books.She praised the people
who lived through the Depression of the 1930’s, ranking them even ahead of the early pioneers who at least received a land grant and some of the things needed to survive.
“The people of the 30’s got nothing,” Mary said, noting that there was no welfare and no handouts from society at the time. She said that these honest, hard working people of the 30’s survived by their honesty and by the sweat of their brows.
Mary told the ladies of her connection to Stitts-ville, noting that two grandsons attended Sa-cred Heart High School. She praised the school for how it introduced her grandsons to life.
Among those in at-tendance at the Catholic Women’s League break-fast at the Holy Spirit Par-ish Hall were Holy Spirit Parish pastor Rev. Ross Finlan and Rev. Giles Joly, pastor of St. Philip Parish in Richmond.

Mary Cook delivers laughter, tearsCATHERINE BRAZIER
Special to the News
It certainly is one thing to read of Mary Cook’s expeditions and memories. It is quite another to be an engaged audience member during one of her public appear-ances. Animated and quick witted, Mrs. Cook has her audience in fi ts of laughter and then in the wink of an eye her stories lead these listeners on the search for a tis-sue. This is what happened at last Satur-day’s second annual women’s breakfast hosted by the Catholic Women’s League of Holy Spirit Parish.
One of the best of Mary’s shared mem-ories at the women’s breakfast was a humbling one and a story that refl ects the integrity of people during the 1930’s. She began by showing her audience her most prized possession … a butter dish. And then she wove her story around a young Mary who didn’t have a gown to sing in the choir. Her mother could not afford the nine cents per yard broadcloth that was needed to make the choir gown and so the decision was made that she would not sing.

Her neighbour insisted on making the choir gown for Mary. But Mary’s mother would not accept, knowing that she had no way to repay her kind neighbour. Insis-tent, the neighbour asked Mary’s mother to reconsider as they were friends and she wanted to help out in this way.
Mary’s mother fi nally obliged but not without doing something in turn. She wrapped her butter dish and gave it to her neighbour as a sign of thanks and ap-preciation.
“Such was the integrity of the people
in the ‘30’s,” Mary refl ected.Her story stirred within the hearts of
many in her audience last Saturday, her story of a different time and a different place. Her story stirred within the audi-ence the reminder to be people of integ-rity in our everyday dealings.
Mary’s gift to weave in and out of vari-ous memories was intoxicating. At the end of her presentation, she asked “Why do you suppose we have memories?”
Her reply was simple and memorable in itself: “I believe that God gave us mem-ories to see roses in December.”

As far as it’s possible to tell, there was only one political par-ty in the federal election that promised to help build a new bridge across the Ottawa River. That was the Liberal party and you know what happened to it.
That means either …(1) That we are lucky to have
avoided all that construction and disruption, or
(2) That we are doomed to live with our existing bridges.
It depends on your point of view. Aside from those two, there is a separate possibility:
(3) That bridges are a politi-cal jinx and we will never hear a politician utter the word “bridge” again.
Ottawa is an odd place. It is full of bridges, yet some people are barely aware of them. And other people are obsessed by them. The people who are barely aware of bridges are those who don’t have to cross the crowded ones every day. As one of those people, I was taken aback a few years ago when a visiting West Coast author I
was interviewing said that her fi rst thought of Ottawa was as a “city of bridges.”
I had never heard Ottawa described that way before. And yet, when you think about it, there are tons of them. Think of the bridges over the Rideau Canal, stretching from down-town over to Bronson Avenue near Carleton. Think of the bridges over the Rideau River. And then think of the ones that cause all the controversy, the bridges over the Ottawa.
Ottawa is indeed a city of bridges, but it doesn’t occur to you until you are stuck waiting to get onto one. Or until some-one threatens to build one near your neighbourhood. In that respect, think of the mighty squawk that was heard when an extra lane was added to the
Champlain Bridge in 2002. You could have expected and under-stood the agitation of residents living in the Island Park area, but NO THIRD LANE signs sprouted in neighbourhoods several kilometres to the west and east.
For every resident who fears a new bridge, there is another who demands one. Those are the people who are stuck in the twice-daily commute, waiting 15 minutes to get onto the bridge and not even able to phone to say that they will be late for fear of being arrested for violating the cellphone-in-cars ban. Or they are the ones who want the truck traffi c through their neighbourhood to go some-where else, courtesy of a new bridge.
Meanwhile, in the putative area of the new bridge, there are people readying their NO BRIDGE signs.
Judging by the extremely cautious statements of local politicians, when indeed they
make statements at all, there is no reason to hope or fear that Ottawa will become a city of more bridges any time in the near future. You have to be able to read tea leaves to draw any conclusions, but the tea leaves seem to indicate that politicians are less afraid of the pro-bridg-ers than the no-bridgers.
This does not bode well for those who were sort of hoping that Ottawa-Gatineau might have a new crossing in time for the 150th anniversary of Con-federation in 2017.
If it makes them feel any better, there is always the pos-sibility that a new bridge would
not have solved anything at all. This conclusion relates to the often-cited theory, a variant of Parkinson’s Law, that the number of cars expands to fi ll the number of lanes allotted to them. In other words, no matter how many new roads you build, they will always be jammed.
How this works can only be described in supernatural terms. Somehow there must be a magical mechanism that cre-ates more vehicles at a precise moment. Scientists can not ex-plain it, but Ottawa politicians clearly are aware of it. What all this means for the future is un-clear. We will cross that bridge when we don’t come to it.

Crossing that bridge when we don’t come to it
With the full bloom of spring now upon us, it is the time for strolling, walking, jogging, just plain enjoying the outdoors …and, oh yes, cycling.
Bicycles, ridden by youngsters, teens and adults, are popping up on virtually every street. Why not? Bicycling is fun, it’s good exercise, it’s get you where you want to go and it easy to do.
But while it is great to see so much cycling going on in the community, it is discouraging to see so many cycling without helmets and equally discourag-ing to see so many cycling as if there were not any rules of the road for bicycles.
Why someone cycles without wearing a helmet is beyond us! Many youngsters wear helmets; many adults, often cycling with
the children, do not. We all know what blows to the
head can do – just ask National Hockey League players and the concussion epidemic that has plagued the NHL all this season. And if you take a tumble off a bicycle, it is your head that in all probability will be taking the hit. Do you want to risk this? All for the sake of wearing a bicycle helmet!
But helmets are only part of the problem affecting cyclists. There is also the case that they seem to be oblivious to any rules pertaining to cycling. Ride on the sidewalk. Ride the wrong way on the street. Ride right through in-tersections. Ride here and there, without looking. Ride two or three abreast. Oh, there are so many infractions of good, com-
mon sense, safe bicycle riding.And yet, bicycles share the
road with cars – yes, those big, faster vehicles that will obliter-ate a bicycle in any collision. This is not a fair fi ght and that is why cyclists need to take every precaution possible to avoid run-ins with vehicles. This means cycling in the safest possible manner. Unfortunately, judging by casual observation, this is not being widely done on Stitts-ville’s streets this spring. But it must be done. We do not want anyone to get injured or worse due to careless cycling.
So, brush up on safe cycling tips. Make sure that cycling re-mains a fun part of your family’s activities. But also make sure that cycling remains a safe part of these activities as well.

What a party! Balloons. Cake. Face painting. Hot dogs. And great weather as well!
What a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary year of what is now Canada’s largest Cana-dian-owned discount retailer – the iconic Giant Tiger Stores Limited.
On Saturday, May 7, the Gi-ant Tiger store at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza in Stittsville was humming with people of all ages, taking advantage of the many in-store bargains but also enjoying the celebration.
The Stittsville store, like all of Giant Tiger’s 202 stores across Canada, held a charity barbeque as part of the celebra-tion. In the case of Stittsville, all of the proceeds from the barbeque are going to Main Street Community Services of Stittsville, a registered charity which develops and implements comprehensive, research based programs for children who are challenged by a disability or an exceptionality.
Parents, staff and volunteers from Main Street Community Services were at Giant Tiger on Saturday, staffi ng the bar-beque which was set up on the
sidewalk just outside the store’s front door. And it was busy, with a steady demand. It was hot behind that grill, cooking up the hot dogs, but when it was all going to such a good cause on such a celebratory day on a great spring day, no one was complaining.
Indeed, Shelley Steinburg of Main Street Community Ser-vices, wearing a Main Street Community Services t-shirt like many there, called it an “excel-lent day.”
“I’m not sure you could ask for a better day than this,” she said.
This fundraising barbeque at Giant Tiger continues what has been a most successful time for Main Street Community Services, coming on the heels of its sixth annual “Nothing But A Child” fundraising gala in Stittsville last month which raised over $16,000 for the orga-nization’s work.
Giant Tiger itself was a bus-tling place on this 50th anni-versary Saturday. There were bargains galore both in the store and even on the sidewalk out front but also lots of special activities. Red bags emblazoned with the 50th anniversary time frame (1961-2011) were offered to everyone entering the store.
There was free cake, in Giant Tiger yellow, of course, as well as free coffee.
And what would a family-ori-ented celebration be without face painting. Youngsters and their parents lined up patiently for this artistic face painting.
And yellow and red balloons abounded in the store, with youngsters getting to have one. Aw, there’s nothing like a bal-loon to make a youngster’s day.
Giant Tiger, a family discount store, provides fashion clothing groceries and everyday basic needs at everyday low prices. Established in 1961 in Ottawa’s
Byward Market, the company has grown to 202 locations across Canada, with over 7,000 employees in total.
This store with the iconic yellow logo featuring a happy tiger not only has a tradition of offering affordable and con-venient shopping but also has a tradition of supporting orga-nizations in their surrounding communities.
The fi rst Giant Tiger store was opened on George Street in Ottawa’s Byward Market on May 13, 1961. The chain grew slowly, reaching 22 stores in 1980. By the year 2000, though,
it had reached 102 stores in size, with 3500 employees.
Giant Tiger has been in Stitts-ville for two decades, initially located in the former Bradley’s store premises across from the Stittsville post offi ce in what is now the location of the Home Furniture store. Giant Tiger relocated to its current larger premises in the new Jackson Trails Centre plaza when that plaza opened with the develop-ment of the Jackson Trails sub-division.

Elly Wedge of Richmondto compete in ‘Fiddle Dance’
JOHN CURRY
Playing the fi ddle is no doubt diffi cult. Stepdancing is another talent that is challenging to master as well. But imag-ine, just imagine, doing both at the same time. Well, it’s not impossible and at this year’s Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Com-petition in Richmond on the Victoria Day weekend, you will see how it’s done thanks to a brand new category in the competition called “Fiddle Dance.”
In this category, competitors combine their fi ddling and stepdancing talents as they perform both simultaneously.
One of those who will be competing in this new category will be 13 year old Elly Wedge of Richmond, who has been play-ing the violin since she was fi ve years old and has been stepdancing almost as long.
But even Elly is wary of this new “Fid-dle Dance” category.
“It takes getting used to,” she says about combining fi ddling with stepdanc-ing, pointing out that it is diffi cult to co-ordinate both hands and feet when they are doing such different things.
But, nonetheless, Elly will be in this new category, as well as in her regular fi ddle classes in which she has begun to be recognized as an up and coming per-former in competitions across the prov-ince.
It all started for Elly when she attended a music camp when she was about four years of age. At this camp, she played a different instrument each day.
“I really liked violin,” she recalls about the experience and after the camp she convinced her parents to get her a violin. She started playing at age fi ve and has been playing every since. She started out playing the smallest of violins but has now advanced to a full sized one.
She loves traditional fi ddle music and enjoys competing in fi ddle and stepdanc-
ing competitions like the one coming up in Richmond on the May 20-22 weekend. She entered her fi rst fi ddle competition when she was only six years old.
Elly is a two time winner in her age cat-egory at the Canadian Open Fiddle Cham-pionship in Shelburne, Ontario as well as being a past winner at the Maritime Fiddle Festival and at the Eastern North American Irish Fiddle Championships in New York. There are fi ddle competitions taking place from May through Labour Day, just about every weekend. Elly does not enter all of them but does compete regularly. The Richmond event is one of the fi rst ones in her competitive season.
Elly admits that practice is a big part of her life.
“There’s a lot of practice, for sure,” she says. She takes violin lessons twice a week while she also practises once a week with the Ottawa Junior Youth Orchestra in which she plays the violin.
A grade eight student at Bridlewood El-ementary School in Kanata, she also plays the electric violin in the school band.
She says that she enjoys violin so much because she fi nds it really cool to perform before an audience and experience its re-action. She notes that audience members are always tapping their feet and are al-ways smiling.
As far as her stepdancing goes, Elly started taking stepdancing lessons when she was seven or eight years old, start-ing to compete a couple of years after this. She takes stepdancing lessons once a week.
A big part of Elly’s life is entertain-ing in the Ottawa area, either perform-ing solo or as a member of the fi ddle duo “Elly Squared” with her friend and fellow fi ddler Ellie Daly. They perform at special events, retirement homes, fundraisers, fairs and other events, fi ddling and step-dancing and accompanied on the piano by Elly’s mother, Kristin.

A giant self portrait. A Greek landscape. A bird. The Montreal skyline. A pseudo action fi gure. And a drawing of a TV char-acter. An eclectic array of sub-jects, no doubt, but only a smat-
tering of the wide scope of the artwork on display at “The New Generation” exhibition now on exhibit at the Art Mad gallery at the Stittsville Shopping Centre in Stittsville.
This exhibit, which opened with a vernissage to introduce the 12 participating young art-
ists (15 to 30 something in age) on Friday evening, May 6, will continue through to Saturday, May 21.
And the variety of the art-work on display, both in terms of subject matter and in terms of artistic style, will reward any visitor – there’s something for
everyone here in this artwork by a younger generation.
Artist Maya Hum has a giant self-portrait on display in the exhibition, part of a series of larger works that she has done, all inspired by sound. With a background in music, having taken it in university, Maya last year discovered that she could incorporate sound visuals into her artwork, making them, as it were, soundscapes, to use her word. That’s why her giant self-portrait has her holding her hands over her ears, which in one sense blocks out the sound from her ears but in another, artistic sense incorporates the concept of sound into the art.
Artist Alexandra McGowan, a university student who took art in high school and hopes to gain admission to the fi ne arts program at Queens University in Kingston, takes viewers to the Greek island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea with her stun-ning work in acrylics on display at the exhibition.
She painted the scene after visiting the island a few years ago and says that it is fairly typ-ical of her work.
“I tend to do big scenes,” she says, while adding that she tends to focus on subjects based on her own experiences.
Artist Christine Roscoe, who has been painting for two to three years now, fi nds her inspi-ration in nature.
“I prefer to do nature scenes myself,” she says while adding that she is now really interested in doing birds. An example of this is on display in the exhibi-tion.
She says that she enjoys doing the features of our feathered friends, especially trying to cap-ture their specifi c look and the realism of the bird.
This makes for different art than that of her brother Scott Roscoe, who has been painting for several years and sketching before that. He draws on his travel in Europe for some of his inspiration, although a photo-graph was what inspired him to
produce the haunting cityscape of a darkened Montreal skyline outlined in silver which is on display in the exhibition.
Artist Cristian S. Aluas is one of those rare artists who is currently making a living at his trade. An artist since 2002, he teaches art as well as create his own.
In this exhibition, he has three paintings on display which por-tray a mythological character that he actually made up in his childhood, a comic book type action character he has named “Golden Boy,” along with his mate “Water Girl.”
He feels that his work on dis-play at the exhibition is some of his best work so far.
“I am getting much better,” he says about his own artwork, adding that he is always re-di-recting his focus and trying out new things in his art.
Carmen Neske, who does soft pastels, has only been doing art seriously since last summer when she discovered that she had a natural talent for it. She is now doing full fi gure subjects, three of which are on display at the exhibition.
She fi nds herself doing art-work every day now, taking her inspiration not only from maga-zines but also even from other sources like television. One of her works on display in the ex-hibition features a view of Spe-cial Agent Ziva David from TV’s popular NCIS show.
The 12 “New Generation” artists who have their work on display at this current exhibi-tion at the Art Mad gallery in Stittsville are Cristian Aluas, Kala Ritchie, Scott Roscoe, Car-men Neske, Maya Hum, Denny Provost, Kelly Hein, Christine Roscoe, Miranda Scharf, Dean Tyers, Serge Rivard and Alex-andra McGowan.
The Art Mad gallery is lo-cated at the Stittsville Shopping Centre at 1300 Stittsville Main Street. For more information, go to www.artmad.ca or call 613-836-1100.

Redhawksend season
in styleSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Stittsville Atom A2 Red-hawks wound up the season in style this season. In fact, they would up as champions in the City of Ottawa Year End Minor Hockey Tournament for Rogers House on the weekend of April 8.
It did not look good for the Redhawks early on in the tourna-ment as the team dropped a 3-2 verdict in overtime. However, the Redhawks won their second game to advance to the tournament’s B fi nal.
In this B championship fi nal, the game was tight until the last fi ve minutes when the Redhawks turned on the jets and scored three quick goals to win the cham-pionship by a 6-2 score.

Awesomeending
for seasonSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A tough season spent mostly in last place. Rough. A loss in triple overtime in the consolation fi nal in the playoffs. Disappointing. A victory in overtime to win a B side tournament championship. Awesome.
This all happened to the Stitts-ville Novice B1 Barracudas but ending the year with the tourna-ment B side championship over-came all the downs of the season.
It was a tough season, spent mostly in last place. But in the consolation round of the playoffs in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League, the Barracudas picked up the pace, making it to the consolation fi nal. There, the Barracudas lost – in triple over-time, no less.
On the weekend of April 1-3, the Barracuads found themselves in the City of Ottawa Year End Mi-nor Hockey Tournament for Rog-ers House. The team lost its fi rst game in the tournament but then went on to win its next two games to earn a place in the B fi nal.
Playing against the Ottawa Centre Mad Monkeys, the game was tied 1-1 after regulation time. So, it was on to overtime and, as luck would have it, it went to three overtime periods again, just like in the League’s consola-tion fi nal.
But this time, the outcome was different as the Barracudas scored to emerge as B side cham-pions in the tournament. A great way to end the season.
Off to provincialsSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A rhythmic gymnastic from Stittsville is off to the provincial champion-ships in June.
Caroline Liang, 10, qualifi ed for the Ontario championships with her performance at the sec-ond qualifying meet last weekend. In this meet, Caroline placed seventh overall out of the 30 gym-nasts in the 4A category thanks to a seventh place in her ball routine and an eighth place fi nish in her free routine.
Caroline also captured a
bronze medal for her ball duo with her teammate Baylianne Rich.
A member of the Kana-ta Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, Caroline trains 12 ½ hours a week at the Bridle-wood School gym, home of the Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club. During her weekly training ses-sions, she learns new skills and more ballet while also perfecting her routines.
She began rhythmic gymnastics in the Club’s recreational program and then moved onto the pre-competitive team, the Ris-ing Stars, before success-
fully auditioning for the provincial program.
This is Caroline’s third year at the provincial lev-el of competition where she has competed with the rope, hoop and ball.
Following her upcom-ing participation in the Ontario championships, Caroline will be perform-ing along with members of the Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club’s world gymnaestrada team at the Club’s open house on Sat-urday, June 18.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A child’s vehicle was left outside the Main Street Pub in Stittsville recently.
It is a Fisher Price big wheel multi-co-loured bicycle – purple, red and yellow in colour. It is believed that the bike may
have been stolen and abandoned outside the bike by the thief or thieves.
In any case, the Main Street Pub has the child’s vehicle stored in its back room and will keep it around for a week or so just in case someone comes forward to claim it. Anyone who thinks that this may be their child’s vehicle should drop into the Main Street Pub on Stittsville Main Street to claim it.

How often have you heard something to the ef-fect that it isn’t important how old you are, it is all about how young you feel.
Well, personal fi tness trainer Charmaine Hall of Stittsville is someone who might say this. And, indeed, she is doing more than just talking about it. She is doing something about it.
She is now offering a fun program called “Age is just a number,” a fi tness program geared specifi -cally for those over 50 years of age.
It is planned as a gentle but challenging pro-gram to build strength, balance and cardio vascu-lar fi tness that will start this coming Monday, May 16 and will run for one hour every Monday and Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. for six weeks.
While the program is geared towards mature adults, younger adults are also welcome to partici-pate.
The program involves a mixture of light aerobics, dumbbell training and stability ball and balance exercises.
The program, instruct-ed by Charmaine, will be offered at AnyTime Fit-ness, a 24 hour adult fi tness club located at 457 Ha-zeldean Road beside the Farm Boy in Kanata.
Anyone who would like more information about this “Age is just a number” program or about any of the other programs offered at AnyTime Fitness should call 613-831-1227.

NC)—To protect the warranty that you are entitled to as the owner of a newly built home in Ontario, routine upkeep is essential. Improper maintenance, or just plain neglect, can result in damages that your warranty won’t cover.
Tarion Warranty Corporation, the non–profi t, private corporation established in 1976 to protect new home buyers according to the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act, suggests the following tips to help prevent moisture damage:
OUTSIDE THE HOME• Fix the caulking around windows and doors and on
the roof if it becomes cracked or separated.
• Keep fl owerbeds and landscaping at least six inches or 150 mm away from the top of the foundation. Placing soil near or above the top of the foundation allows moisture to come into direct contact with the structure of the home.
• Clear eavestroughs of debris regularly and extend downspouts so that water is directed away from your home. Water that fl ows around the foundation could
eventually fi nd its way into the basement.
• Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure shingles, fl ashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly.
INSIDE THE HOME• In the summer, dehumidify the basement to avoid
condensation buildup on the cool foundation walls.
• Repair leaky pipes and fi xtures immediately. Clean and completely dry any areas that are dampened or wet within 48 hours.
• Investigate and identify any musty smells and odours. They are often an indicator that there is a hidden moisture problem.
• Purchase a “hygrometer” to monitor the relative humidity in your home.
Ask your builder about additional maintenance tips. He may also be able to provide information about proper maintenance for specifi c products provided by manufacturers. Knowing how to properly operate all the
systems in your new home – including heating, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning – will both help safeguard your warranty and ensure you enjoy your home to the fullest.
A more detailed Home Maintenance Checklist can be found online at www.tarion.com. If you have any questions about your warranty, contact Tarion at 1–877–982–7466.

GARAGE SAILINGDelaina Anderson looks over a table of items at the garage sale held by St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond on Saturday, May 7, one of the village-wide array of garage sales held thanks to the organization of the Richmond Village Association.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Everybody loves pie, especially those home baked ones. Some like apple; some like cherry; some like butterscotch; some lemon – it runs the gamut but one thing is for certain – there’s nothing like a deli-cious pie.
And so, anyone who is a pie lover and wants to treat themselves should plan to attend the annual May Pie Sale being held by St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond this Saturday, May 14. But don’t go to the church because that’s not where the sale is. Rather, it will be at King’s valu-mart at the Richmond plaza, running from 8:30 a.m. to noon. There will be all kinds of pies available but the best selection will be for those who get there early.

OPEN HOUSE - SUN. MAY 15TH AT 2-4 PM
Newly re-elected Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, fresh from his mas-sive election victory earlier in the week, was on hand for the event, as was incumbent Car-leton-Mississippi Mills MPP Norm Sterling and city of Ot-tawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.
This Charity BBQ Day to raise funds for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada is held at more than 465 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada includ-ing the one at Crossing Bridge Square in Stittsville.
Throughout the day, staff and special guests like the three poli-ticians grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. A hamburger or hot dog, along with a drink and a bag of chips, was available for a minimum donation of $2.50 to
the Crohn’s and Colitis Founda-tion of Canada.
Over the past 22 years, since M&M Meat Shops began holding these Charity BBQ Days, more than $20 million has been raised for medical research into infl am-matory bowel disease. More than 200,000 Canadians suffer from infl ammatory bowel disease and there is no known cause or cure yet.
Indeed, Canada has among the highest incidence of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative Colitis in the world. These are two similar yet distinct conditions that are known as infl ammatory bowel disease.
This Charity BBQ Day by M&M Meat Shops is now the largest annual fundraising ac-tivity by any single supporter for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foun-dation of Canada.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville thanked its volunteers at a special gathering during last week’s Catholic Education Week.
A luncheon was held in the school’s library on Friday, May 6 where principal Margaret Skinner thanked the volunteers for all that they do around the school. She noted that if these tasks were not done by volunteers, then they just would not get done and the school community would be lesser for it.
Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee John Cur-ry, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, thanked the volunteers for their efforts at the school. He noted a banner that was on view in the library, thanking the volunteers and calling them “wonderful.” He wholeheartedly agreed with the banner’s senti-ments.
Principal Skinner noted that, as happens every year, some volunteers will be leaving the school this year as their children move on but other par-ents will be stepping forward to fi ll the gap.
She particularly praised one parent volunteer who is moving on, Diane Shavrnoch, for her ex-tensive volunteer efforts over the years at the school, including long service as the treasurer of the School Council.
Ms. Shavrnoch was presented with a fl oral plant as a token of appreciation for her volunteer work at the school over the years.

Weaving featured on ArtSpace wallJOHN CURRY
The ArtSpace wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library could be called the Weave Wall this month.
That’s because the exhibition fea-tured at the ArtSpace wall features a display of woven textiles that are re-productions of the original textiles produced by the former Rosamond Woolen Company in Almonte around 1899. The exhibit at the Stittsville library has been set up by Weavers Unlimited and the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum of Almonte.
It will be on view until the end of May during regular library branch hours.
Weavers Unlimited is a group of 11 weavers who have reproduced exam-ples of weaving produced by the for-mer Rosamond Woolen Company in Almonte. The weaving features both
the colours and designs produced by the Rosamond Woolen Company.
The exhibition includes a book which outlines the weaving and com-pares the work done by Weavers Un-limited to the original weaving pro-duced at the woolen factory.
In addition, this exhibition sees the initial use of a new glass display cabi-net at the Artspace wall. Previously a wooden display case with glass doors has been used to augment the items on exhibit on the wall but now there is a new glass display case which al-lows viewing from all sides. This dis-play cabinet is fi lled with examples of early wooden tools used in fabric weaving.
This display at the ArtSpace wall also includes an assortment of bro-chures, both about the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte as well as the upcoming 16th annual Fibrefest that will be happening this coming September at the Mississippi
Valley Textile Museum as well as at the North Lanark Agricultural Hall and at the Almonte Old Town Hall. This event features fi bre art vendors, a fi bre art exhibit, demonstrations, a button show and a two-day festival of fi bre arts.
The Mississippi Valley Textile Mu-seum in Almonte, located in the annex of the former Rosamond Woolen Com-pany, is a national historic site related to the history of the Mississippi Val-ley and its textile industry.
By 1867, the Rosamond Woolen Mills in Almonte employed over 400 people. Almonte, indeed, was one of the larg-est woolen manufacturing areas in Canada. The Rosamond Woolen Com-pany became known around the world for producing high quality products.
Exhibitions at the Mississippi Val-ley Textile Museum range from early mill history and period mill equip-ment to cottage industry and eclectic modern fi bre art exhibitions.

Extinguishers lined up, help put out fi reJOHN CURRY
On Thursday, May 5, Saunders Farm at Munster had collected all together in one area the numerous fi re extin-guishers which it has as it was to be the day of their semi-annual checkup and recharging if necessary. Little did the folks at Saunders Farm know just before they were to be checked, they were needed as a pesky brush fi re had broken out at the Bleeks Road farm.
Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm explains that when the brush fi re started to spread, he and his father Bill, who were on site, were able to battle the blaze with shovels and with the fi re extinguishers. It helped that these extinguishers were all in one spot that morning and so it was easy to grab half a dozen or so for use.
The brush fi re started about 10 a.m. when Mark and Bill Saunders were burning some brush at their small permit-approved burn pile on the farm, just like most farms have. The burn pile is about 1500 feet away from any buildings on the farm.
Brush and weeds in an adjacent fi eld caught on fi re with the fi re moving
along the fi eld, assisted by the wind which was blowing south toward the Saunders Farm buildings and Mun-ster itself.
A couple of healthy spruce trees 30 feet apart caught on fi re due to the gusting wind.
Although the brush fi re never got within three to four hundred feet of the property line, the advancing fi re proved to be enough to scare Mark and Bill about what might happen and so they put in a call for the Ottawa Fire Service.
However, when the fi refi ghters ar-rived on the scene, the brush fi re had been put out thanks to the use of seven or eight of the fi re extinguishers that were on hand and had been rushed to the brush fi re scene by offi ce staff.
“It was just enough to scare us a bit but we put it out by the time the fi re department arrived,” said Mark Saun-ders last Monday.
“The wind was gusty, that was the issue,” he added.
“It really wasn’t much of a thing,” Mark said about the brush fi re, say-ing that he will now wait for a calmer day before burning again. He said that who would have thought that a brush
fi re would break out after such a wet spring that came on the heels of a wet fall. Indeed, he says that he is a couple of weeks behind getting onto the fi elds due to the wet conditions.
Saunders Farm uses its burn pile perhaps half a dozen times a year to get rid of debris such as when trees are trimmed on the property.
In addition, Saunders Farm has a fi re protection plan in which the Otta-wa Fire Service can draw water from any of the Farm’s ponds if required. This time it was not necessary but that option is always there and would have been accessed had the brush fi re not been extinguished by the time that the fi refi ghters arrived on scene.
There was a fairly wide ditch fi lled with water that the brush fi re would have had to have jumped before ever getting anywhere near to threatening the Saunders Farm buildings or ad-vancing towards Munster in the dis-tance. And as for the fi re extinguish-ers which proved to be so handy in this brush fi re experience – they are now all checked out, re-charged, back in their separate places and ready to go should they be needed in the com-ing months.
Here comes well water sample blitzSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Water is essential in life. That is why having a well with healthy water in it is vital to good health.
This month, Ottawa Public Health is holding its semi-annual well water sample blitz. Filled well water sample bottles will be able to be dropped off at one of various locations in Goulbourn during this blitz.
On Monday, May 16, the fi lled well water sample bot-tles can be dropped off at the Goulbourn Town Hall at 2135 Huntley Road at Stan-ley’s Corners just south of Stittsville, anytime between 8 a.m. and 12 noon.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
John Curry of Stittsville has been in-ducted into the Ottawa Public Library’s Order of Friendship.
This award recognizes exceptional contributions made to the Ottawa Public Library by individuals, groups and/or in-stitutions.
Mr. Curry received the award at the Ot-tawa Public Library’s meeting on Mon-day, May 9, at which Board chair and city of Ottawa councillor Jan Harder noted that the award was being presented in recognition of Mr. Curry’s outstanding support of the Stittsville, Richmond and
Munster branches of the Ottawa Public Library over the years.
She outlined that Mr. Curry, in his role as the editor of the Stittsville News com-munity newspaper, has consistently pro-moted and publicized the activities of the three local library branches. She pointed out in particular his efforts to inform the public about the ArtSpace wall at the Stittsville library branch where there are monthly exhibits related to the arts.
Mr. Curry is the editor of the Stittsville News, a community newspaper published by the Ottawa Region Media Group, a di-vision of Metroland community newspa-pers.

Investing guru coming to StittsvilleJOHN CURRY
The Idiot Millionaire. Stop Working Too. Money for Noth-ing. The Lazy Investor. Stop Working. These are the titles of the fi ve books which self-made millionaire Derek Foster has written, sharing his personal experiences and strategies on how to become fi nancially self-suffi cient.
Mr. Foster himself knows of what he speaks – he was able to leave the rate race of work at the age of 34 as he became a million-aire while still in his 30’s. Now he will be sharing his invest-ing strategies and insights in a presentation at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public li-brary on Tuesday, May 17, start-ing at 6:30 p.m.
At this presentation, you will be able to not only hear from Mr.
Foster himself but also to ask him questions. Online registra-tion on the library’s website is requested.
Mr. Foster was born right in Ottawa in 1970 and has travelled and lived in many countries since then. When not writing a book or giving public presenta-tions like this upcoming one at the Stittsville library branch, Mr. Foster spends his time with his wife and fi ve children.

kett for the great season of euchre which wrapped up on Thursday, April 21.

Door prizes were won by Garnet Vaughn and Guy Lefevre.
Herb Tarlek, no -garden herb, yes
JOHN CURRY
When we talk about a herb, we are not talking about Herb Tarlek, that boorish, tasteless adver-tising salesman who wore loud plaid suits in the icon-ic television show “WKRP in Cincinnati.” Rather we are talking about a plant that is valued for fl avour, scent, medicinal or other qualities and are used in cooking, as medicines and even for spiritual purpos-es.
Culinary use of a herb usually indicates that, like a spice, the herb is used in small amounts to provide fl avour rather than sub-stance to food.
Many culinary herbs are perennials such as thyme or lavender while others are biennials such as parsley or annuals such as basil.
If you are wondering
about herbs (and we don’t mean Herb Tarlek), the place to be will be the Tues-day, May 17 meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Hor-ticultural Society.
That’s because the topic for the meeting will be “Herbs – Cultivation and Consumption” with Re-becca Last as the guest speaker.
Everyone is most wel-come to attend this May 17th meeting which will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville.
There will be, though, a small charge of $2 levied for non-members of the Society.
Annual Horticultural Society memberships will be available at the meeting at a cost of only $15. This is a great deal, as it allows free attendance at all Hor-ticultural Society meet-ings throughout the year and provides entrance into
the Horticultural Society shows and competitions, along with other benefi ts including providing a venue for networking with other gardeners.
Besides this upcoming May 17th meeting, the Horticultural Society has another major event com-ing up this month, namely its annual spring plant sale.
This will be held on Sat-urday, May 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot at Bradley’s Insurance on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.
The rain date for this event has been set for Sun-day, May 29.
For more information about the May 17th meet-ing, please contact Kate McDonald at 613-831-6545 while more information about the spring plant sale can be obtained by con-tacting Catherine Disley at 613-836-3588.

Boil water advisory in RichmondJOHN CURRY
Homeowners in the Richmond Glen area of Richmond serviced by the King’s Park municipal well wa-ter system were placed under a pre-cautionary boil water advisory by Ottawa Public Health last week.
The boil water advisory affecting over 100 homes and 400 residents was put in place on Friday, May 6 and was only lifted last Sunday, May 8, 48 hours after it was implemented late on the Friday afternoon.
It was issued after a power outage led to a reduction in pressure in the water distribution system. Such a reduction in pressure in the system can allow the leakage of ground wa-ter, possibly containing microorgan-isms such as bacteria, into the water system through small holes and fi s-sures in the water lines. To elimi-nate any danger to health from this, homeowners were advised to bring any water being used for consump-tion purposes to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using. This included drinking water as well as water used for making juice, ice and infant formula and for food prepa-ration, teeth brushing and rinsing washed dishes. Non-consumption uses such as showering did not re-quire the use of boiled water.
Residents were advised that after boiling the water, it should be left to
cool before being used. Those unable to boil water were
advised to use bottled water.The boil water advisory was re-
scinded by Ottawa Public Health last Sunday after it was provided with notifi cation that the pressure in the water distribution system had been restored to normal. In addition, re-sults of sample analyses showed the absence of bacteria in the water of the distribution system.
Giant digital display boards warning of the implementation of the boil water advisory were placed along major thoroughfares in the village to advise residents of the boil water advisory.
The communal well which serves the Richmond Glen area has a back-up generator which kicks in when the hydro goes out. When this hap-pens, the water continues to fl ow at full pressure. However, last Friday, when the power went out for a short time, the generator failed to kick in. It turns out that a fuse shorted, causing the generator to fail. While the water was back on in 80 minutes, this loss of pressure in the system for that period of time meant that Ottawa Public Health had to take a precautionary approach and issue the boil water advisory. This advi-sory was lifted after two consecutive water tests showed that the water was all clear for human consump-tion.
Councillor wants to change road prioritiesJOHN CURRY
Richmond may see some road improvement work sooner rather than later if city of Otta-wa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt is successful in an upcoming attempt to convince city staff of the need.
He told members of the Richmond Village Association (RVA) executive at the RVA’s May 3rd meeting that he is planning in mid-May to take city staff responsible for roads around Richmond to look at various streets that he feels should be re-paved before a repaving of Dwyer Hill Road which is already being planned.
Councillor Moffatt said that when he took over as councillor in December, there were no roads in the ward slated to be repaved in the 2011-2012 time frame. He said that the Dw-yer Hill Road is planned as the fi rst one in the ward to be repaved but he contends that it does not need such repaving and that there
are other streets and roads more in need of repaving.
For councillor Moffatt, repaving Ottawa Street in Richmond should be a priority. He is totally familiar with the street, with the former South Carleton High School student noting that he has been driving on that street since the day that he got his driver’s license.
Councillor Moffatt intends to start off his tour of the area for city staff at Ottawa Street.
He says that those who will be on his tour are the city staff personnel who make deci-sions on road resurfacing and that hopefully the tour will lead to staff reprioritizing the streets or roads that are to be done in the near future.
RVA director and immediate past president Bruce Webster noted that there had not been any streets re-surfaced in Richmond since the Perth Street reconstruction project in 2005.
“What are we getting for our taxes in this village,” he wondered.
