FIRST 1,200
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Plans of subdivision are now coming forward for the first 1,200 homes in the Fernbank lands between Stittsville and Kanata. The Regional Group has a subdivision proposal for 166 acres of land stretching between Fernbank Road and Abbott Street, covering 832 new housing units. Most, namely 509, would be single family homes, while the other units would be townhomes and stacked townhomes. This Regional Group subdivision is situated right beside the proposed north/south arterial road that will eventually run from north to south through the Fernbank lands, right from Hazeldean Road through to Fernbank Road. Monarch Homes has 200 acres immediately east of the Regional Group lands. It has a proposal now to develop the northwest 60 acres of its lands with 369 housing units. Again, the housing will be predominantly single family homes, namely 202 of them, with townhomes and stacked townhomes making up the rest of the units. The two proposed subdivisions are being brought forward at the same time because there are some advantages to developing them at the same time. There are seven road connections between the two subdivisions. In addition, there is a shared storm water retention pond that will have to be developed. FERNBANK LANDS, SEE 4

Dancers. Singers. Musicians. And longtime TV personality Max Keeping as well. That’s quite a lineup that will be on stage at the Sacred Heart High School theatre this Friday evening, Dec. 10 for the inaugural Stittsville Christmas Festival Concert. And, in addition to the Christmas music, song and dance, there will be a tribute to the Canadian Forces, with the presence of a colour party from the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion and bagpiper Jordan McConnell. The concert will also be a “drop off” point for the donation of articles for Toy Mountain, the Snowsuit Fund and the Stittsville Food Bank. All proceeds from the concert will be going to the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa whose mandate is to help alleviate poverty among school children. Its programs include a 24 hour turn-a-round emergency response fund to help children whose families are in a financial crisis. Other programs include a summer camp program and support for special educational programming. Admission will be by donation, suggested at $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Advance tickets are available at the Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty office at the corner of Hobin Street and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville or from the Ottawa Catholic School Board office on West Hunt Club Road just west of Merivale Road in nepean. Among the performers at the concert will be those from the Chad Wolfe Studio of Dance and Music; the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers; the Goulbourn Male ChoJOHN BRUMMELL PHOTO rus; the Main & Abbott Dance Band; the Pointe of Munster Elementary School students, from left to right, Corrik Donnelly, Cole Metcalf Grace Dance Troop; the Sacred Heart High School seand Jenny Donoghue place teddy bears in a container.

lent Night, Away in a Manger, Deck the Hall and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. But there was much more than this. How about the moving Ave Maria? Or the Huron Carol. Or O Magnum Mysterium. Or Dona Nobis Pacem. Or Jingle Bell Dash. It goes on and on. And, in keeping with the concert’s title, namely “Christmas Two by Two,” many of these Yuletide songs were heard twice, in two different arrangements. This was the case for Ave Maria, Laudate Dominum, O Magnum Mysterium, Away in a Manger, Dona Nobis Pacem and Silent Night. All of this involved either the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or the Junior Jubilees, with some such as Away in a Manger involving both groups. Linda Crawford is the director of both the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the Junior Jubilees, accompanied by Doll Creelman. As is traditional now with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, this Christmas concert
was presented twice, with a matinee performance in the afternoon followed by an evening presentation. Guest artists performing in the concert included Graham Lindsey on percussion and flautist Meghan McInnis. John Argue was executive producer of this year’s Christmas concert while Harvey Renaud assumed his normal role as stage manager. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers was founded in 1977 and since that time has delivered musical entertainment to the community as well as providing an opportunity for Stittsville, Goulbourn and Kanata residents to be involved with a musical singing group. The Junior Jubilees started in September 2000 as a way to encourage interest and involvement in choral singing among youth in the community. Membership is open to children aged 8 to 14 who wish to sing. There are no auditions, just like with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers.

vices operates out of premises in the former Stittsville Public School facility on Stittsville Main Street (now the home of the Frederick Banting Alternate Program as well). But the programs have outgrown the space and Main Street Community Services is limited in its new offerings because of these space restrictions. That is why Main Street Community Services has put forward of “A Place of Our Own” as a project seeking funding from the Aviva Community Fund which is based on online voting. The “A Place of Our Own” project got through the first round of online voting and made it as one of the 30 semi-finalists in the $100,000 to $500,000 category of the competition. Online voting for these semi-finalists is now underway, starting on Dec. 2 and running for ten days. The project received about 400 votes per day over the past weekend and had over 2000 votes in total as of last Sunday around noon. But the competition is tough at this semi-final level and 11 other projects had over 2,000 votes going into the weekend. Anyone can vote in the Aviva Community Fund competition by going to the website www.avivacommunityfund.org and then go to project number 5532 which is “A Place of Our Own.” Main Street Community Services has become known as a place that supports “the kids no one else will take” because of their dual diagnosis, highly complex needs and difficult behaviours. This has resulted in a high demand for its services, especially from families who are
overwhelming, fatigued and frustrated by the system providers. Main Street Community Services needs larger premises to accommodate the many families who are seeking its services. In 2009, Main Street Community Services supported 250 families from across the greater Ottawa area. But this has only scratched the surface of those seeking such services in Eastern Ontario. Besides running a day program and an after-school program, Main Street Community Services provides camps throughout the year. A six week summer camp offers the opportunity for many to have a day camp experience that they would not otherwise have. There are also March Break camps and Christmas vacation camps. With a large facility, Main Street Community Services will not only be able to serve more families but also will be able to expand the programs themselves, providing respite opportunities for parents. There is also a lack of services for special needs children after they complete high school. There is a shortage of suitable day programs for these special needs adults. Main Street Community Services has already developed the framework for the transition from youth to adulthood but currently there is a lack of space in which to run these adult day programs. Main Street Community Services celebrates individuality, encourages uniqueness and tries to bring out the best in every person. It tries to provide community based programming that promotes inclusion, tolerance and understanding.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Board of Directors of the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) met in Stittsville on Wednesday, Dec. 1. And their meeting spot could not have been more appropriate for a body whose jurisdiction includes the Carp River watershed which in turn includes Stittsville’s Poole Creek. The meeting was held at Sweetnam family business headquarters building at 8 Sweetnam Drive, with the meeting room just feet away from the waters of Poole Creek, swollen by a heavy overnight rain, rushing northward to eventually empty into the Carp River. This was the first time in several years that the MVCA Board of Directors met in Stittsville. At that time, it had also met in this same room. One constant for both meetings was the presence of Stittsville businessman Phil Sweetnam who has been a representative
on the MVCA Board for the past 30 years. He currently is serving as the Board’s vicechair. This latest Stittsville meeting was chaired by Mark Burnham who represents Tay Valley Township on the Board and is currently serving as the MVCA chair. Over just more than two hours, he led the Board through an agenda that included 12 discussion items ranging from approval of committee minutes to proposed revisions to various fees charged by the Conservation Authority to the preliminary 2011 budget to the setting of Board members’ per diem payments to a decision on a request for proposals for possible hydro electric projects at Carleton Place and Lanark. The MVCA’s total operating and capital municipal levy included in the 2011 preliminary budget is $2,155,898 compared to $2,011,239 in 2010. The Board approved circulating this preliminary budget to the various MVCA member municipalities for

The need is there. The statistics show that. And things are happening that will eventually see this need being better served than at present. This involves the consolidation of existing services provided by the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre at three locations now to one campus off Richardson Sideroad in West Carleton. This new six million dollar facility will offer more spaces to treat the substance abuse and associated mental health problems of youth. This was all explained by Glenn Barnes, president and chief executive officer of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, at the Nov. 30 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. He revealed that a 2009 survey of youth shows that

83 percent of youth have tried alcohol by grade 12. The survey also revealed that 25 percent of all high school students had gone binge drinking at lease once in the month prior to the survey. Binge drinking is having five or more drinks. This would involve 14,000 students in the city of Ottawa. The survey also revealed that 16 percent of high school students are drunk or high while at school. Three percent of Ottawa area high school students, which is 1,640 students, reported using cannabis daily. So the need to provide treatment and address this situation is evident, as the survey numbers show. Currently the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre operates out of three sites. But it wants to centralize operates at a West Carleton site with a new facility that will

be able to accommodate at least 30 youth at a time. The goal is to have this new facility by 2014 but that will depend on the fundraising and other matters such as the zoning and severance of the site. But Mr. Barnes is convinced that such a facility is needed. “We can make a difference,” he says, citing the cases of two youth who recently got their lives back on track after stays at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. Anne Marie, a 19 year old, was a prostitute on the street when she entered the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. Expressing an interested in working in the food service area, she trained under the Centre’s chef and is now enrolling in the culinary arts program at Algonquin College. Jordana, also 19, was on drugs and could not get along with anyone. Her stay at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has seen her gain admittance to the Montreal School of Fine Arts this January. One of the keys to the approach used at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is to involve the family in the addiction treatment for an adolescent. This is essential, in Mr. Barnes view. He has also found that a so-called “community reinforcement approach” is the most efficient way to delivery addiction treatment and care for an adolescent. This involves a total of 12 sessions, each one of which could last up to six hours. An addiction therapist is involved, each one responsible for six clients. “The addiction therapist is the conductor of the orchestra,” Mr. Barnes said in explaining the key role played by such a person in addiction treatment for adolescents. This is backed up with what is called “assertive continuing care” where relapses are anticipated and intercepted if possible. This assertive continuing care effectively eliminates any relapse in the first 20 days after release. This assertive continuing care as well as focusing on family involvement in the treatment makes the program expensive since it requires more staffing than other forms of treatment. Eighty percent of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre’s budget is related to staffing.
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The successful first-ever Christmas Bazaar and Tea Room held by the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville on Saturday, Nov. 27 has led to financial assistance to two organizations which help others. The CWL had identified the Stittsville Food Bank and the Youville Centre in Ottawa as the two organizations which would receive proceeds from the Christmas Bazaar
and Tea Room. Both are now receiving $500 from the event. CWL president Gaye Lalonde presented the $500 donation to Stittsville Food Bank representatives Janice LeBlanc and Shelley Brown on Friday, Dec. 3 while a $500 bursary will be provided by the Holy Spirit CWL to the Youville Centre. The Stittsville Food Bank, a volunteer run registered charity, provides help for those in need in the communities of Stittsville and Ashton. This help includes a Christ-
come from the generosity of local churches which set up Angel Trees for the donation of appropriate gifts. The Youville Centre in Ottawa supports young mothers and allows them the opportunity to get an accredited high school education, improving the future for both themselves and their children.

Fernbank Road improvement needs a plan It’s now a fact of life in this area. Fernbank Road from Eagleson Road and Terry Fox Drive to Shea Road in Stittsville is a quiet country road no more. Especially of late, many, many motorists have discovered the road’s direct convenience to both Terry Fox Drive and Eagleson Road as they have sought and, in this case, found an alternative to using Hazeldean Road and its construction delays. Hazeldean Road, of course, is almost finished and will soon be a four lane arterial linking Stittsville and Kanata. But we are prepared to predict that many of those now using Fernbank Road will continue to use it. Quite simply, for those living in the extreme south and southwest areas of Stittsville, it is a much better route to follow when travelling eastward than going through all of Stittsville to reach Hazeldean Road. So, Fernbank Road is going to remain a highly travelled route for many. Add to this the fact that Fernbank Road is going to be the southern boundary for the Fernbank lands and their 30,000 residents when developed and you can see that the future
LETTER
for Fernbank Road is anything but a return to its country road status. It is going to be a major east/west throughfare between Stittsville and Kanata for the years to come. With such a key transportation role in the coming years, it is essential that there be a plan for the road’s improvement. It does not have to happen overnight but there surely should be a municipal commitment to ensure that as this road becomes busier and busier with the Fernbank lands development, it will be brought up to a standard that can handle the traffic that will travel along it. There will be some improvements to it coming as a result of particular subdivision developments in the Fernbank lands but there needs to be an overall view taken for its long term development. Only the city of Ottawa can do this. Indeed, in retrospect, the improvement of this road, which borders the Fernbank lands, should have been outlined as a requirement in the Community Design Plan developed for these Fernbank lands. Just like the developers are responsible for constructing the north/south arterial, they should have been delegated with the responsibility to upgrade Fernbank Road.
But, alas, this is not the case and perhaps could not be the case since Fernbank Road is not part of the Fernbank lands but rather just runs adjacent to it. No matter who pays, the taxpayer or developers, what is certain is that the Fernbank Road is going to need upgrading and improvement in the coming years. The volume of traffic already using the road is heavy and it will just be getting moreso as time goes on, even with the completion of the Hazeldean Road reconstruction. The city should begin the planning for such improvements and should start budgeting funds for such future works. The heavy traffic on the road is not going to go away. And its rural, country road nature is not going to do the trick in the long run. So, a wise approach should be adopted so that in ten year’s time, this is an up-to-date, modern road that can handle the high volume of traffic which it will be getting. Let’s start thinking about this now and doing something about it. Waiting a decade and then realizing that the road in woefully inadequate for its traffic volume does not make good sense.
TO THE EDITOR
City bungling means six years to do five days’ work Editor: Is it possible to do six years’ work in five days? Before you answer “no,” let me re-phrase the question. Is it possible to take six years to do five days’ work? Apparently it is if the city of Ottawa is involved. I am referring, of course, to the now infamous Upper Flowing Creek drainage ditch. An engineering consultant’s report identified to the city back in 2006 that the drainage ditch was blocked between Fernbank Road and Flewellyn Road. City staff advised the affected residents to submit a petition to have the drainage system designated as a “municipal drain” and the city would then proceed to clean it out and re-establish its normal flow. Initial estimates provided to the residents were that it would cost about $200,000 and take about 18 months to accomplish. After four years of studies and consultant reports, the city informed the residents that the work was approved and that an addi-
tional two years would be required to complete the construction. And the cost, by the way, would be $1,600,000, of which $1,200,000 would be charged directly to the affected property owners through their tax bills. Actually, the total cost was $3,400,000 if you include the cost of required culvert replacements which are paid for by city of Ottawa taxpayers. Once the residents go over the initial shock, they told the city “Thanks but no thanks,” and asked the city to cancel the project and that they would do the job themselves. What happened next should shed some light on the folly of this whole situation. A one hour meeting was held with the general manager of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), the body responsible for authorizing such work. Then a half hour meeting was held with the RVCA biologist to review the details and the approvals and necessary permits were issued. Two and a half days of work by an excavator followed and the job
was done. In five days, the job had been approved and completed. No six years like the city required. And the cost was less than $10,000, not $3,400,000. The city, of course, says that the work it was going to do was much more extensive. And so it was. But that is exactly the problem. The area requiring work was between Fernbank and Flewellyn, a distance of two kilometers but the city planned to renovate over 14 kilometers of drainage system. The city has a habit of taking a molehill and making a mountain out of it. It happens over and over again. I personally appeared before Ottawa city council’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) six times over the past four years, saying that the project had come off the rails and was heading for disaster. And what was done about it? Absolutely nothing! The city allowed it to continue until it reached the approval stage. Then when push came to shove, the project had to be cancelled at a cost of $380,000 to city taxpayers.

Some form of accountability must be instituted at city hall. The staff involved in this fiasco should be given their walking papers.

most projects like this continue to completion and end up costing the affected residents huge sums of money while eating up ridiculously large amounts of staff time.

Christmas sounds at carol festival
Stittsville News - DECEMBER 09, 2010
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Voices – young and adult, both male and female – filled St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville with the sounds of the Christmas season last Sunday afternoon, Dec. 5. It was a community carol festival featuring the 14 voices of the St. Andrew’s Presbyterina Church choir, the 8 voices of the St. Thomas Anglican Church senior choir, the 5 voices of the St. Thomas Anglican Church junior choir, the 11 voices of the Goulbourn Male Chorus and the 16 voices of the Stittsville United Church Choir. And when all of these voices combined for the massed choir “Joy to the World” at the conclusion of the 55 minute event, along with the 80 or so voices of those attending the carol festival, it was indeed a virtual roof-raising musical effort. When everyone sang, not only was the church filled with this well-known Christmas carol but also the music mingled outside the church with the snowflakes which were drifting from the sky. It was a Christmas moment to cherish. A lighted Christmas tree and some poinsettias added a Christmas flair to the sanctuary area of St. Andrew’s for this community carol festival, as did giant red bows adorning the central aisle ends of each second pew. The program was quite simple – one of the participating singing groups would perform one or more seasonal songs, followed by a congregational singalong, after which another choir would perform.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church choir led off with “A Merry Carol of the Bells”, with the church’s director of music Blaine Sack on the keyboard. After the congregation sang “Hark! The Herald Angels sing,” the St. Thomas Anglican Church senior choir took over under the direction of Don Gillen. This choir was then joined by the St. Thomas Anglican Church junior choir under director Naomi WatsonLaird with Emily Denesyk on the piano. Members of the senior choir sang along with the junior choir. Next, it was “The First Noel” sung by those in attendance, after which the newly formed Goulbourn Male Chorus, dressed in white shirts and ties, took to the stage for “A Gentleman’s Christmas” and “Born, born in Bethlehem.” An appearance by the Stittsville United Church choir, featuring Doug Hall as soloist and under the direction of Doll Creelman, was preceded by a congregational singing of “Still, still, still” and was followed by the singing of “’Twas in the moon of wintertime”. The St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church choir then returned to the spotlight, singing “We Say Amen” from the Cantata “Together for Christmas.” It was following this that the massed choir took over and led in the singing of “Joy to the World,” a fitting ending to a sensational seasonal singing session. Donations, either in kind or in cash, were accepted at this community carol festival for the Stittsville Food Bank.

Nursing: a vocation that can change the world around you

hospital stay attuned to patients’ needs, they are busy changing the world around them.
Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital Ottawa, November 30, 2010 I spent much of my youth in rural France, surrounded by friends and neighbours whose parents were often obsessed with perpetuating traditional, often stereotypical, roles for men and women. It was not uncommon to hear “men have careers, and women have jobs, until they ďŹ nd a man who has a career.â€? That’s why I was inspired by women whose attitude said “to hell with tradition, I have a vocation, and I will turn it into a life-long careerâ€?. As it happens, I married one. My wife Amy is managing an impressive career in Canada’s public service. Through her, I’ve built family ties with two other women, my mother-in -law and my sister-inlaw, who have a different vocation. Linda and Sarah are nurses. They defy old stereotypes. In addition to caring for patients on their wards, facilitating the work of doctors and other health professionals, and enabling the

This level of commitment – though exceptional – is not entirely unusual for nurses. Three weeks ago, led by Chief Nursing Executive, Dr. Ginette Rodger, close to 400 nurses from The Ottawa Hospital celebrated a major career milestone achieved in 2010.
I have had the good fortune to live and work in this community for more than 35 years. I am very grateful to our clients for the trust and confidence placed in me over my many years of practicing law.

The challenge being mounted for the Progressive Conservative nomination in the Carleton-Mississippi provincial riding has held back the Riding Association’s fundraising efforts for the October 2011 campaign. Speaking at the Riding Association’s annual general meeting in Stittsville on Wednesday, Dec. 1, president Steven Lewis said that the cloud of this challenge for the nomination by Jack MacLaren of West Carleton has been hanging over the Association for the past ten months and has affected its fundraising for the next election campaign. He said that the fundraising now stands at about $25,000 which is only about one-third of the amount that needs to be raised for the fall election. However, he did sound an optimistic note when he declared that the Riding Association’s membership now stands at just under 1,400 members, with more members joining daily. He said that all new members will be able to vote at the nomination meeting which has been scheduled for April. Mr. Lewis’ reporting at the annual meeting happened about 9 p.m., with about 75 people in the theatre at Sacred Heart High School where the meeting was being held. An hour earlier, the theatre had about 600 people in it, receiving their voting instructions to elect the Riding Association’s new executive and directors. But most of these people had
cleared out by the time that Mr. Lewis took the podium to deliver his president’s report and the Association’s financial report. The earlier part of the annual meeting had featured an upbeat address by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Norm Sterling and a fiery message from guest speaker, Renfrew area MPP John Yakabuski. “Wow, what a crowd,� was how Mr. Sterling began his address to the crowd before blaming Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty for the worries that people now have about their jobs, about the health care system, about rising taxes and about increasing hydro costs. He noted that Premier McGuinty has doubled the province’s debit in just eight years. “He just can’t stop spending,� Mr. Sterling said about the premier. “I know that a Progressive Conservative government can do much better,� he said, noting that the Conservatives would work to regain the public’s confidence in the political process. Guest speaker John Yakabuski said that a provincial government led by Conservative leader Tim Hudak will have a red tape czar at the cabinet level whose mandate will be to remove regulations and red tape; that such a government will dismantle the Local Integrated Health Networks and make sure that every health dollar goes into front line health care instead; and that energy policy will be treated as economic policy, not social policy as at present.

It was called an annual meeting but it really was a skirmish leading up to a nomination meeting this coming April. It revolved around who would be elected as the executive and directors of the CarletonMississippi Mills Progressive Conservative Riding Association as there were two slates put forward. One slate was the formal one put forward by the Riding Association itself while the other slate was one put forward by those acknowledged to be supporters of former Ontario Landowners Association president Jack MacLaren of West Carleton who has already declared that he will be seeking the Conservative nomination in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills provincial riding for the October 2011 election. Incumbent MPP Norm Sterling openly declared at the annual meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville that he supported the election of the executive and directors put forward by the Riding Association. It is unclear just what advantage it is to have a Riding Association executive that supports one candidate or another with a riding’s nomination meeting in the works. Mr. MacLaren, interviewed at the annual meeting, claimed that it would be easier to challenge for the nomination if there is a friendly executive in place. He did not elaborate on why this would be the case. He did, though, complain that there were 84 memberships in the Riding Association that were submitted but were somehow never recorded. This meant that a number of supporters of the executive slate put forward by his supporters could not vote at the annual meeting. He still claimed to have almost 500 supporting members in the Riding Association, although the reported final voting numbers saw his slate gain nowhere near this figure. This mixup regarding some memberships was only one glitch in the annual meeting procedures. The other one which caused confusion among some was the presentation of a formal ballot with the names of the Riding Association slate printed on it. Those supporting the MacLaren slate were left with the choice of either submitting a prepared list of
the slate which was in short supply from the MacLaren camp or writing in the names of the MacLaren slate on the formal Riding Association ballot. Despite the confusion for some, voting began about 8 p.m., with Riding Association members who had registered and had received a blue wrist band indicating their eligibility to vote able to submit their ballots. The ballots were all submitted by about 8:45 p.m., at which time the ballot counting began. It was not, though, until 10:20 p.m. that Brian Patterson, the provincial representative who was in charge of the election, announced the results. He refused to provide any numbers but announced the winning candidates which happened to be the 19 members of the Riding Association slate. This executive will now organize the nomination meeting which has been announced for sometime in April 2011. This ended this first skirmish in what promises to be a battle royale between the forces supporting incumbent MPP Norm Sterling and those favouring challenger Jack MacLaren as they both go for the PC nomination in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding this April. Those elected to the executive were incumbent president Steven Lewis of Ashton, vicepresident Elaine Argue of Stittsville, chief financial officer Phil Sweetnam of West Carleton, secretary Brenda Turner of West Carleton and membership chair Wendy Fraser of West Carleton, with directors Wayne Beaton and Marlene Labelle from Stittsville, Ken Vaughn from Richmond, Gordon Sample from Munster, Olivia MacAngus from Ashton, Bert Reitsma from West Carleton, Brian leoanrd from Almonte and Rich Chase, Denis Colbourne, Mike Garner, Allan Hubley, Steve Liakos, Emma McLennan and Matt Murihead, all from Kanata. The MacLaren slate was putting forth Tim Broschuk as president, Tom Black as vicepresident, Cathy James as treasurer, Keshia Currie as secretary and Donna Wilson as membership chair, with Dean Fleming, Mike Westley, Robert Ralph, Lee Dilkie, Doug Cully, Gerry Jette, Rick White, Joanna Broschuk, Shirley Dolan, Sylvain Mainville, Stuart Bowes, Annette Anderson, Alex Broschuk and Phyllis Anderson as directors.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa On December 1st inside the beautiful Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans, a new council was officially sworn in front of Council Members’ respective friends and families. Mayor Jim Watson led a tremendous ceremony on that evening and spoke with such poise and passion with his vision for the future of the great City of Ottawa. Around the Council table, we have some new faces with a good balance of veteran leadership. I am confident that we will work together for the better of our city and its residents. As we begin this new four-year term as your municipal representatives, there are indeed several important issues that we will be dealing with that will impact the residents across the Nation’s Capital. As your Councillor for Stittsville, we have accomplished a lot as a community over the past four years. Stittsville continues to grow and remains a shining jewel in the City of Ottawa. I look forward to the next four years working with you, to hear your ideas and to improve Stittsville in any way we can. Community helping neighbours With the holiday season upon us, it is time we reflect on how fortunate each one of us is, while we extend an offer of support to those who are in need. Several donation drives are operating throughout the community during the month of December. The number of families visiting food banks continues to increase, and that trend is expected to continue given the current economic state. With this in mind, the Stittsville Food Bank is running its annual food hamper program out of Brown’s Independent Grocer. There is a list of re-
A New Four Year Term Begins quested food and toiletry items available at the grocery store and you can choose what you wish to donate. Donations can be made up until December 14. As well, various community associations will be going door-to-door collecting donations. The Christmas Angels, Gertrude Brown and Janice LeBlanc, have helped to establish the Angel Trees program at St. Thomas Anglican Church and Holy Spirit Catholic Church respectively. The program accepts Christmas presents for children under the age of 16. Each angel on the Christmas tree represents a child under the age of 16. When gifts are donated, the gifts are wrapped and placed along with the Stittsville Food Bank’s Christmas hamper. I also encourage you to volunteer in our community through the many charitable organizations and community associations that operate throughout the year. I cannot thank you enough for spreading Christmas cheer this holiday season to families less fortunate. Santa Claus is visiting Shad and his friends this Saturday! With Christmas just weeks away, Santa Claus is paying an early visit to Stittsville, just in time to receive everyone’s Christmas wish list. On December 11, Santa and his helpers will be at my ward office, located inside the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, meeting with the children of the community. Santa will pay a visit from 10am-12pm. Digital photos of your children and Santa will also be available. As well, children will have an opportunity to decorate gingerbread cookies from 9am-12pm. We will also be announcing the winner of this year’s Christmas Card contest. Thank you to all the children that participated in the contest this year. All the submissions my of-
fice has received have been tremendous and I am impressed by the amount of effort put in. It will once again be a difficult decision to choose just one card. I look forward to seeing you on December 11 to celebrate the Christmas spirit. International Volunteer Day In honour of International Volunteer Day, which occurred on December 5, I would like to personally thank the many volunteers across our community who continue to make a remarkable impact on our City’s quality of life. Your generosity, support and spirit enrich the fabric of our community and influence the lives of countless individuals and families. Volunteers are the lifeblood of a community as they bring valuable support and awareness through considerable contributions, while enhancing their own lives in the process. I appreciate the many volunteers across our community who offer support and I urge others to get involved. You won’t regret it. Snow clearing help With the winter months ahead of us, there are many people in our community who are in need of assistance with shovelling their laneways. This is a great opportunity for students to acquire community service hours and I encourage you to contact my office and we will put you in touch with those who are in need of extra help this season. Winter collisions With icier road conditions, it is now more important than ever to stay safe on our roads.
In the event of a collision, there are several options for assistance and it is imperative that you remain on the scene until help arrives. For all emergencies and serious injuries please contact 9-1-1. If you have assessed the situation and don’t feel it is dangerous please report collisions at 613230-6211. For a full list outlining your responsibilities once a collision has taken place, please visit my website at www.shadqadri. com. Old bus tickets The $1.15 yellow tickets will continue to be accepted until December 31, 2010. Use up your supply of yellow tickets by the end of December, or exchange them for their face value at an OC Transpo Sales Centre towards the purchase of the new blue tickets ($1.25) or a pass. However, they are not redeemable for cash. As of March 1, if you use $1.15 yellow tickets to pay a full ticket fare, there will be no top up - but if you use them in combination with cash, they will be worth their face value of $1.15. Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. My ward office is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, located at 1500 Shea Road.

Councillor Moffatt says that he realizes that there will be growth in Richmond but he says that such growth has to be monitored â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how it works and how it fits with the community while making sure that it adds to the community rather than detracting from it. Growth is also on the mind of councillor Qadri and he also wants to make sure that it is managed to ensure that infrastructure needs keep up with the growth. He also sees growth as adding to the economic base of Stittsville, something which he sees as good not only for Stittsville but for the whole city of Ottawa. Growth creates jobs for young people in the community and also grows the economic tax base, taking some of the pressure off individual homeowners. With regard to the Carp landfill, councillor Qadri wants to move towards some of the different waste technologies rather than landfill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not opposed to Waste Management operating something on that site (Carp Road) but I want them to start operating with diversion first and then landfill for residual waste,â&#x20AC;? councillor Qadri said.

JOHN BRUMMELL NEWS STAFF Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt were among the 23 city of Ottawa councillors sworn in on Wednesday evening, Dec. 1 in a ceremony at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans. Both picked up on an observation that new mayor Jim Watson made in his address at the ceremony, namely that this is a time of change at the council table, with ten new faces and a new mayor elected. Councillor Qadri sees the future being a time of challenge, with a lot of projects already on the go and some others needing to be done. Councillor Moffatt admits to being excited at getting started working on municipal business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting time for the city of Ottawa and I think a lot of people realize that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also sets the expectations high as well so we have to deliver now.â&#x20AC;? As for himself, he wants to work with city staff to see if services such as snowplowing, road maintenance and ditch mowing in the rural areas can be delivered in a more timely manner. These were

CHRISTMAS
Gift Guide
Gift Ideas When Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Pressed For Time. The Christmas countdown has begun, and the days will no doubt fly off the calendar like they do every year. Before you know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a few days until the holiday is here. Those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet started shopping may feel pressed for time and worry that they will not be able to find gifts for everyone on their lists -- at least gifts that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like they were afterthoughts. But good gifts can be found in the eleventh hour.
Adults â&#x20AC;˘ Visit the local liquor store for a bottle of wine in the price range desired. Wrap it in a wine bag or leave it as is with a nice bow. â&#x20AC;˘ Pick up passes to a local attraction, such as an amusement park or a museum. Put together tickets for a play paired with a soundtrack of the production. â&#x20AC;˘ Food is often appreciated. A box of fine chocolates or one of those edible fruit arrangements will be a tasteful, and tasty, gift.
â&#x20AC;˘ Fill a large bowl with a scooper, sprinkles, cherries, and other toppings for making ice cream sundaes. â&#x20AC;˘ Pick a gift that embraces the holiday spirit. Holiday music, ornaments or table decorations can be used this year or next.
Children â&#x20AC;˘ Pop into a toy store or a department store and pick up a cuddly stuffed animal. â&#x20AC;˘ Buy an art set for older children, full of paints and markers. If a complete set canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be found, make an art package with a bunch of supplies packed into a gift bag.
â&#x20AC;˘ Choose an educational gift that is still fun, like alphabet flash cards or puzzles. A subscription to a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine would also work, seeing as children love getting mail. â&#x20AC;˘ Few kids will turn down a DVD of their favorite television characters. The DVDs should feature an age-appropriateness rating to make choosing one even easier.
Teenagers â&#x20AC;˘ Teenagers can be finicky, so a monetary gift will be one-size-fits-all. â&#x20AC;˘ Teenage girls may appreciate a gift basket of delicious scented lotions. â&#x20AC;˘ Passes for movies can make date night less expensive. â&#x20AC;˘ Consider a gift card or e-gift coupon for digital music downloads. â&#x20AC;˘ Give a subscription to a teen magazine so that everyone can keep abreast of their favorite celebrities.

‘Wow’ moments in parade Kanata Volunteer Fire Department takes on the Kanata Food Cupboard
JOHN BRUMMELL NEWS STAFF Santa Claus was, as expected, the highlight of last Saturday’s holiday parade in Richmond but the appearance of the jolly gentleman, riding in the bucket of an Ottawa Fire Service ladder truck was not the only “wow” moment at the parade. There was an array of floats with varied themes and seasonal themes in the 11 a.m. parade which wound its way from South Carleton High School along McBean Street and then along Perth Street to the Richmond Plaza. The St. John the Baptist Anglican Church float featured a Christmas in Hawaii theme, with those riding on the float, while wearing clothing more appropriate for this climate than what would be found in warm Hawaii, nevertheless brandishing leis around their necks as they rode along on the float. The city of Ottawa float had new mayor Jim Watson on it, standing amid the numerous candy cane, Christmas tree, snowmen and other decorations. The Richmond Loyal Orange Lodge, with its float, reminded everyone of the true meaning of Christmas with its nativity scene. “Jesus is the Reason for the Season”, written on
the side of the float, reinforced the message. The Richmond Sparks road along on their float, huddled under blankets on the chilly day. Giant snowflakes adorned the side of the float. Harmony Gardens, always a participant in community parades, had a float featuring a giant snowman and other figures including the grinch. A musical touch was added to the parade with the appearance of the South Carleton High School band, with the students wearing Santa hats and playing their instruments – trombones, flutes, clarinets, a tuba. The Richmond Curling Club entry saw an energetic group of young curlers riding on the wagon float. The St. Paul’s United Church float, publicizing the church’s pie sales, featured a transformed Santa’s Workshop, changed into Santa’s Pie Shop. Besides mayor Watson, the parade saw the presence of Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, wearing a Santa hat and riding along in Bruce Webster’s vintage vehicle. Newly elected city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt was unable to participate due to a family funeral.
On Sunday November 28th Hazeldean Mall hosted a chili taste off event between the Kanata Food Cupboard and the Kanata Volunteer Fire Department. Allan Hubley the new Kanata South Councillor was the master of ceremony for the event showing his support for local charities. Once Allan got things going customers were given a chance to taste both chilis in exchange for a donation to the food cupboard.
Thanks to the generosity of Hazeldean Mall’s customers $343.00 was raised in 2 hours for the Kanata Food Cupboard and the Kanata Volunteer Fire Department was declared the official winner of the taste off.

This event was the official kick off for the 10 Ways to Raise 10 Tons campaign that the Hazeldean Mall has launched. Over the next 30 days the community has been challenged to help the Hazeldean Mall raise 10 tons of food. Space donated by the Kanata Kourier-Standard, Stittsville News & West Carleton Review

room. The UPEI Panthers had eight power play opportunities in the game but were unable to get the puck past Meghan. This win improves the Mounties’ season record in Atlantic University Sport women’s hockey to five wins and six losses, good for fifth place in the seven team league. The Mounties will play next on Jan. 7 against Dalhousie. Susan Seaborn, a sports information and communications officer with Mount Allison University, which is located in Sackville, New Brunswick, reports that Meghan continues to play great games for the Mounties. “The Mounties are for real this year,” Ms. Seaborn reports. “She’s certainly helped to turn their fortunes around.” Meghan is not the only Stittsville player on the Mount Allison Mounties women’s hockey team. The team also has Andrea Switalski of Stittsville in its lineup.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Mount Allison Mounties women’s hockey team entered its Christmas break on an upbeat note on Friday, Dec. 3, shutting out the University of Prince Edward Island Panthers 2-0 thanks to goalie Meghan Corley-Byrne of Stittsville. Meghan recorded the shutout after stopping 41 shots and being named the game’s second star after teammate Courtney King who scored both Mountie goals. The Mounties were outshot 41-25 in the game, with Meghan stopping 14 shots in the first period, another 14 shots in the second period and 13 shots in the third period.

Buy-A-Tile: Buy your place in the future What does it take to build a modern state of the art Recreation Center? A supportive community - just ask Councillor Marianne Wilkinson. One of Councillor Wilkinson’s stated goals, during her last campaign, was to see the completion of Kanata’s new Recreational Centre by 2012 (KanataRec 2012). The new facility is about to go under tender. One of the unusual features of the massive building is an eight lane swimming pool. “The City has a policy to support the building of six lanes for our pools.” Wilkinson said. “We knew before we started building that six lanes would not accommodate our community’s needs.” The Community Steering Committee, Chaired by Steve Hulaj presented a plan to add two extra lanes to the building. The City agreed as long as the community raised the extra 1.75 Million dollars the extra lanes will cost. Terry Sheldon, Chair of the KanataRec 2012 Fund Raising Committee, is spearheading an ambitious, multi-staged campaign (see ad this page) to raise “those necessary bucks!” “This is nothing if not a worthwhile cause,” Sheldon said. “Our burgeoning Kanata community has long outgrown its once generous recreational facilities. KanataRec 2012 is designed to meet community needs for today and well into the future. “Community is key. The idea behind KanataRec 2012 is that it will be a facility created, in no small part, by the people and for the people.”
As Sheldon tells it, community involvement at every stage is key to the project’s success. “Steve Hulaj, a community pheom, well known for his active, continuing, leadership in spearheading the move to save Kanata’s South March Highlands and Beaver Pond, Chaired the Steering Committee. Now they have turned the next stage over to the Fund-Raising Committee. “I believe that with the support and involvement of Kanata residents, we will see the ribbon cut, the facility opened, and the first swimmers into the pool in 2012. But to do that we need the Community’s help.” Buy-A-Tile, a fund-raising incentive kicking off today, just in time for Christmas, will allow individuals, families and, ultimately corporations, to “buy into the future,” in Sheldon’s words. Theoretically, the pool is composed of 32,000 individual tiles of which 10,000 are being made available, on a one-time basis, to buy in support of the new Centre. “We’re going to start releasing those first 10,000 tiles to the public immediately – just in time for Christmas,” explains Sheldon. “But it’s a limited unique opportunity. Once they’re gone they’re gone! “Talk about getting the perfect present for the person who has everything! From grandmothers to toddlers, to that difficult friend ... spend ten bucks, yes just ten dollars, and you not only get a personalized, numbered certificate but your name (or the name of the person for whom you buy the tile) will be spelled out on the walls of the centre.”
Furthermore, “Your name, or the name of that special person as well as their tile number, is immortalized. It’s there from the time the pool opens and remains there for the life of the pool; the owner’s own particular future footprint.” But this will only happen with the first ten thousand tiles. “These will never, ever be re-sold,” Sheldon stated categorically, adding “and if people are inspired to dive down and see their tile site, a map showing the numbered placements will be displayed on the wall.” The rule is one tile per name. If a family of four buy four tiles “they’ll obviously be in a block of four tiles,” explained Sheldon – and as for buying, “we’re making it easy and – most important at this time of year – affordable.” After payment (credit cards and cheques are accepted: see ad this page) the donor receives an attractive certificate with an area left blank for the name of the individual receiving the gift. Each certificate also bears the number of a tile that matches the legend on the wall of the Centre where every tile is identified. “Affordability is very important,” said Sheldon. “We want as many people as possible to get involved and to know that through their investment, they take ownership in an important facility that Kanata has needed for some time. “Buy-A-Tile: the perfect present for that hard-to-shop for person in your life and the perfect way of building for the future of your Kanata community.”

And it’s all happening on Sunday, Dec. 19 starting at 3 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Mulkins Street and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

It all came down to the 1,500-metre super final for Gervais, whose time of two minutes, 29.98 seconds wound up being just .32 seconds slower than the skater in front of him, which denied the 17-year-old Sacred Heart Catholic High School student the top-five overall result needed to qualify for the Feb. 11-27 Games in Nova Scotia. For Gervais, it was a heartbreaking finish to the event hosted by the crosstown Gloucester Concordes, who placed four auto-qualifiers on the Canada Games team – Vincent De Haitre, Julien Collin-Demers, Hannah Morrison and Emily Rendell-Watson. “It’s very stressful and (the trials meet) is a lot of pressure after a lot of hard work,” notes Pacers coach Joanne Mitchell, emphasizing that it’s quite an accomplishment to get into contention for one of the highly competitive Canada Games spots. “They work so, so hard,” he said. “It’s not just from September to March that they’re skating 3-4 times a week, all summer they train too. It’s a huge preparation.” For Gervais, there’s still a chance he could wind up going to the Canada Games since he’s currently the first alternate. It’s possible some individuals could decline their short-track entries if they make the Ontario longtrack team through the Dec. 18-19 trials in Quebec City. Among the other Pacers results from the Ontario short-track team trials was a 20th place finish by Oliver’s sister Alison Gervais who also attends Sacred Heart Catholic High School. At 14 years of age, she was one of the competition’s youngest skaters.

commercial uses for the southeast section of the Fernbank lands. He said that in recent years there has been a shift in retail development so that neighbourhood shopping centres are not longer a collection of little convenience stores and small offices. “This is what a neighbourhood shopping centre is going to look like,” he said in regard to the proposal, noting that there needs to be a big retail store as an anchor in the development to ensure the success of the smaller retail outlets. Think of a big store as many stores under one roof, he said. He also pointed out that the new development will serve not just the southeast Fernbank lands but also the Soho West and south Bridlewood areas as well. The developer hopes to get underway on the project in the summer or fall of 2011 provided the planning process proceeds as hoped. However, 2012 is a possibility. This site cannot be developed until the capacity of the Hazeldean sewage pumping station is increased. It is expected that it will take at least a year to get the approvals for such an upgrading of the facility. An extension of the existing Cope Drive now east of Terry Fox Drive will run through this site as it heads west through the Fernbank lands. The exact location and configuration are being determined. The five acres of the site north of this Cope Drive extension are not to be developed at this time, pending a determination of the needs of storm water drainage in the area as it is to be the site for a storm water retention pond. Cope Drive at Terry Fox Drive heading into this development and the Fernbank lands to the west will be receiving a special design treatment since it will be considered a gateway to the Fernbank community.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Almost 200,000 square feet of retail space is being proposed for a development at the northwest corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive. This is in the southeast corner of the Fernbank lands, the development area between Stittsville and Kanata which will eventually have as many as 30,000 residents. But while the developer is going for a zoning that will allow this retail development which includes one central 140,000 square foot with a number of smaller retail buildings located along the Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive frontages of the 20 acre site, the large scope of the project does not sit well with Stittsville Village Association director David Jenkins who oversees planning issues for the community organization. He told those at a public meeting about the proposal on Monday, Nov. 29 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville that the community design plan for the Fernbank lands envisioned the site as a spot for a neighbourhood commercial development, not the shopping centre now being proposed. “This does not meet the intent or the context of the plan,” he said. Noting that he had participated in the Fernbank lands community design plan process, he said that something of the size being proposed was never the intent of those preparing the community design plan. He said that a neighbourhood commercial development is supposed to reflect the community around it and a big box store like that being proposed is very unlikely to do this. Planning consultant Lloyd Phillips, speaking on behalf of the developer, noted that the site was designated in the community design plan to provide neighbourhood

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Brianna Delaney of Stittsville scored the unassisted game winning goal in a 2-1 victory by the Robert Morris University Colonials over Minnesota State in Mankato, Minnesota on Friday, Dec. 3. She had earlier assisted on the game tying goal after Minnesota had taken a 1-0 lead in the game’s second period. With these two points in this game, Brianna, a junior at Robert Morris, moved into second place on the all-time points list as her career total of 76 points is now second only to teammate Sara O’Malley who is a senior. This was Brianna’s fourth multipoint game of this season. She is now just one assist sky of tying the all-time Robert Morris record of 41. This game winning goal was Brianna’s fourth such victory maker in her career at Robert Morris University which is located in the Pittsburgh area. Brianna is a graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville where she played for the girls’ hockey team. Her youngster sister Cobina also plays for the Robert Morris University Colonials. SPECIAL TO THE NEWS What a weekend for the Stittsville Royals! The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League team not only recorded two wins but also beat the Valley Division’s top two teams in the process. It all began on Friday, Dec. 3 in Perth where the Royals took on the first place Perth Blue Wings. Matt Kadolph notched three goals in leading the Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Division leaders. Fresh off this victory, the Stittsville Royals beat the second place Arnprior Packers 2-1 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 5.

John Harrison, who served in the Royal Air Force in World War Two, was the chair of the Cenotaph Committee of the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion. It was the work and efforts of this committee which led to the unveiling of the new cenotaph on Sunday, Nov. 6, 1988. The Rt. Hon. George Hees, a former Veterans Affairs Minister, formally unveiled the new cenotaph which had been included in the plans for the development of Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in Richmond. The idea of having a cenotaph in Richmond had been around since the end of the Second World War when servicemen returning home to Richmond after the war formed a Patriotic Trust Fund aimed at erecting a cenotaph. However, this fund lay dormant and was eventually taken over by the new Richmond Legion branch when it was formed in 1973. A 1976 attempt to build a cenotaph was unsuccessful and nothing more was done until 1988 with the development of the new Richmond Memorial Park. Its plans included a cenotaph but it became a reality only because of the efforts of the Legion’s Cenotaph Committee headed by Mr. Harrison. It raised the necessary additional funds from individuals, organizations and businesses and garnered the community support required to make the cenotaph a reality. The first Remembrance Day ceremony was held at the cenotaph in Nov. 1988 and it has continued as an annual event since then. But the cenotaph was just one of Mr. Harrison’s community interests. He was a Richmond representative on the first Goulbourn Township Public Library Board formed in 1974 with the amalgamation of the villages of Richmond and Stittsville with rural Goulbourn township. He served on the Library Board from 1974 through to 1978. During this time, in 1976, the Richmond branch of the Goulbourn Township Public Library opened at its Perth Street site. The branch became possible due to Wintario grants and donations from area residents and organizations. Mr. Harrison was also a longtime member of the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion, including serving as its president. He was honoured with the presentation of a life membership in the Royal Canadian Legion. Born in England in 1922, Mr. Harrison joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) as an aircraft apprentice before the outbreak of World War Two, beginning his 14 year RAF career. When his training was finished in June 1941, he served on Coastal Command in Northern Ireland and the Outer Hebrides. He was then posted overseas in September 1942. He served with Coastal Command 262 Squadron, flying Catalinas out of Durban harbour in South Africa, escorting convoys around the Cape. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, he was lying in a hospital in Egypt as he was being invalided back to England. From 1944 to August 1945, he served with the Maintenance Unit at Chester in England. For the next two years, he served on the continent, first in Belgium and then in Hamburg, Germany. He was then posted to Cologne, Germany. From January 1950 to May 1953, he was an instructor at an apprentice school, after which he received his honourable discharge from the RAF. He then worked as an electronics design engineer with air trainers in England until July 1957 when he emigrated to Canada, taking up a position as a production engineer at Computing Devices in Ottawa. His wife Kathleen, whom he married in 1951, and family followed him to Canada that November. In August 1961, he became an instructor with the Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology which became Algonquin College. He taught there until he retired in September 1985. He and his family had become Canadian citizens in 1967. A longtime resident of Richmond, he passed away in hospital on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 at the age of 87. He is survived by his wife Kay (nee Taylor), children Carole and Peter and four grandchildren. A private family service is being planned at a later date.

YOUTH CENTRE
Community participation wanted JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF There’s a wish list that includes computers, a flat screen TV, board games, craft materials and soccer balls. It also includes donations and more sponsors. But what is really at the top of the wish list for the newly named Richmond Children and Youth Centre (RCYC) is community residents, both adult and youth, who would be willing to sit on a Board of Directors for the RCYC and help guide its operation. This is because the Grace Assembly Pentecostal Church, which started this youth centre in January 2007 and has operated it since then as a church initiative for the community, now wants the youth centre to be an initiative run by the community for the community. The church will still be there, providing the space in the Richmond Plaza and supporting the youth centre in other ways, but the goal is to involve community residents in decisions about the youth centre and about how it operates. This involvement can be on the new Board of Directors or as volunteers. Chris Bourne, who looks after the Grace Assembly’s own youth program and is involved with the youth centre as well, feels that volunteers from the community could bring their own skills to enhance the youth centre programming. This could include, for example, programs on photography or crafts. “There’s just so many things,” he says, thinking that it would be great if the youth centre had a pool of such people to draw on for programming. Right now the youth centre is only open on Friday nights from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. because of a lack of adult volunteers. The rule is that there must be two adults on site at all times when the youth centre is open. The Richmond Village Association has recently come on board as a sponsor in what the youth centre hopes is the first of many such community sponsors. The Grace Assembly will be remaining involved but the youth centre is over and above the church’s own youth program. Pastor John Spurrell of the Grace Assembly puts it simply as to why the church wants the Richmond Chil-
dren and Youth Centre to operate. “We see a need,” he says, noting that there is not a lot for young people in Richmond to do on a regular basis. The youth centre used to be for those aged 13 to 18 but now is welcoming even younger children, down to age 8. “The younger age group is more than welcome,” Pastor Spurrell says. He notes that the numbers turning out at the youth centre tend to go up and down. At one time as many as 21 youth attended the youth centre. It then went down to about 8, then up again to 16 and then down again to 4. There is no cost to attend. Pastor Spurrell says that going by the numbers could get someone discouraged. He says that it is more imJOHN CURRY PHOTO portant to remain focused on operating the youth centre and providing the programming and eventually the Pastor John Spurrell, left, and Chris Bourne, who looks after the youth program at the Grace Assembly church in Richmond and is involved with the Richmond numbers will go up.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Is there a logo in your mind? Well, the Richmond Children and Youth Centre at the Richmond Plaza is looking for help in designing a logo. A logo contest is being held, open to residents of Richmond between the ages of 11 and 16. The contest opened on Saturday, Dec. 4 and runs through until Friday, Jan. 28. All entries submitted in the contest will be posted on the front window of the youth centre at the Richmond Plaza by Monday, Jan. 31. This will allow members of the community to vote on the entries. The top five in this voting will then be posted on Facebook from Feb. 14 to Feb. 21. The winning logo will then be unveiled at the youth centre on Feb. 24 with a $100 prize being awarded to the winning creator. Entry forms for the log contest can be picked up at the Richmond Youth Centre which is open on Fridays from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Entry forms can be dropped off at the youth centre at the Richmond Plaza. There will be a drop off spot for them. Entries can also be emailed to richmondcyc@yahoo.ca. All those who submit at least one entry will receive a free chocolate bar at the youth centre at the unveiling of the logo on Feb. 24. The Richmond Children and Youth Centre is a place for youth and children whose mandate is to bring about a positive and creative impact on youth in the Richmond community. The youth centre tries to provide a secure and safe environment that fosters a positive sense of self worth through programs that promote physical, mental, emotional and social development in the youth of the community. The logo is meant to help reflect this mandate. The Richmond Children and Youth Centre wants Richmond to become a community where youth feel empowered to make healthy decisions, where everyone values young people, where youth value and respect everyone, where young people become a productive part of society, where families are strong and where there is a place for youth to assemble.

Stittsville News - DECEMBER 09, 2010
“It’s being there for the youth,” he says, adding that youth in Richmond need to know that there is someone there for them when they need it. Pastor Spurrell would like to see the youth centre open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, providing different age and gender related programming on each evening. But such an extended program will require more volunteers from the community. A training session is provided which deals with how to handle certain situations that might arise and includes first aid instruction. He sees a plethora of willing volunteers as a key for the youth centre’s success, noting that what could be offered at the youth centre would be endless. He sees such things as a computer lab, resume planning and homework help being possible with more volunteers and resources. “Manpower is the key thing,” Pastor Spurrell says about the operation of the youth centre. The new Board of Directors will be key in providing input about the youth centre’s activities. There are plans to have more off-site activities such as bowling and ski trips. But this requires increased volunteers because when such off-site activities are offered, the youth centre will remain open to provide an option for youth. The youth centre has board games, card games and electronic games. It is meant to be a place where youth
37 can go and hang out with their friends, either playing the games or just talking to each other. Group games are played at times but not too often as the youth tend to get bored with them if they are played too often. This is all part of being creative with the programming and youth centre offerings. You have to mix it up or else they lose interest and do not attend, Pastor Spurrell warns about the programming. He says that this is challenging since adults tend to like routine. The premises have high speed internet available but right now the youth centre does not have the computers to make use of it. But with computers, such activities as resume planning could become part of the youth centre’s offerings. The youth centre is starting a partnership with the city of Ottawa’s Youth Connexion program which will see the Youth Connexion using the premises on Wednesday evenings beginning in the new year. This will be a program that complements the offerings of the youth centre and will not duplicate its program. The youth centre does have a tuck shop which sells soft drinks and snacks for the youth at the centre. Profits, if any, go to provide something like a pizza party. The Richmond Children and Youth Centre is able to provide income tax receipts for any donations thanks to its relationship with the Grace Assembly. Donations can be sent to the youth centre at P.O. Box 874, Richmond, Ontario K0A 2Z0.
