The Jumbotron over the ice at the Canadian Tire Centre said it all: “Welcome Goulbourn Rockets.” And the Rockets logo was up there as well. Down below, sitting in ice level seats at one end of the rink were the blue-jerseyed members of the Goulbourn Rockets Peewee House girls hockey team, wearing red Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada toques, as they sat and watched the National Hockey League Ottawa Senators practice on the ice on Wednesday, Feb. 3. It was all part of one of the community initiatives undertaken by the Ottawa Senators in the lead up to Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada last Saturday. One of these lead up events was having a minor hockey team join the Senators at a team practice. And the team selected was the Goulbourn Rockets Peewee House girls hockey team. It is a team sponsored by Scotiabank, one of 27 minor hockey teams sponsored by Scotiabank in the Ottawa area. In fact, Scotiabank sponsors 5,000 minor hockey teams across Canada. This Goulbourn Rockets team was chosen for this opportunity to watch the Senators practice because of the community involvement of its players, making a positive impact in the community.

$840 donation to Food Bank John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
John Curry/Metroland
At the presentation of a donation of $840 to the Stittsville Food Bank from the Stittsville United Church are, from left, Stittsville United Church treasurer Don Carson; Rev. Grant Dillenbeck of the Stittsville United Church; Robin Derrick representing the Stittsville Food Bank; and Rev. Dr. Robert Schwab who attends Stittsville United Church and has been instrumental in the church’s efforts to support the Stittsville Food Bank.
The Stittsville United Church has donated $840 to the Stittsville Food Bank. A presentation of a giant cheque representing this donation was presented to Stittsville Food Bank representative Robin Derrick during last Sunday’s communion worship service at the church. The service also included the new “reverse donation” procedure which Stittsville United Church has implemented for donations to the Stittsville Food Bank. This was the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Robert Schwab, a retired minister who attends Stittsville United Church and sings in its choir. In this “reverse donation” scenario, donation trays are circulated through the congregation but instead of members of the congregation placing donations in the tray, they select one of the slips of paper in the tray which has printed on it one of the items that the Stittsville Food Bank really needs at the present time. It could be pudding cups or fruit cups or any of the other needed items.

Members of the congregation then acquire these items as per the paper slips and subsequently take them to the church where they are placed at the Community Table which is at the front of the sanctuary. The sanctuary has both this Community Table through which the church helps feed those in need in the community as well as the traditional Communion Table through which members of the congregation receive the bread and wine of Christ on communion Sundays. Since this Community Table and “reverse donation” procedure were implemented, donations to the Stittsville Food Bank at the church have skyrocketed. Over 681 food items were collected last November and 730 items were collected in December. These are numbers well beyond what had been collected previously at the church. The spirit of helping the Stittsville Food Bank is alive and well at the Stittsville United Church. It was announced last Sunday that six year old Hannah Lilly of the church was having a birthday party that day but she had asked her friends attending the party to bring items that could be given to the Food Bank to the party rather than presents for her.

Beth Sweetnam, right, looks over the new “Healing Hands: Medicine During the World Wars” exhibit which was unveiled at a preview launch at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners on Thursday evening, Feb. 4.
Three lesser known aspects of the story of medicine in the First and Second World Wars are Nursing Sisters, Veterinarians and the Red Cross. And there are Goulbourn township connections to all three of these. That’s why a new exhibit which is still a work in progress to some degree has been developed at the Goulbourn Museum thanks to a $22,400 grant obtained through the World Wars Commemorations Community Fund. The whole project involves the development and design of a travelling exhibit focussed on these topics plus an update of the Museum’s Village Store area to reflect the World War Two era including information about rationing. The Goulbourn Museum held an exhibit preview of this “Healing Hands: Medicine During the World Wars” on Thursday evening, Feb. 4 at the Museum at Stanley’s Corners. The new travelling exhibit, which
is a tower with panels on four sides. The panels provide information about the project overall as well as about Canadian nursing sisters, veterinarians in the military and the Red Cross in Canada. The panel entitled “Canadian Nursing Sisters: Compassion in the Face of Horror,” tells how military nursing goes back to Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War in 1853-56. It also tells how the Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle was torpedoed by a German u-boat, killing 245 people including 14 nursing sisters onboard. One of these was Jessie McDiarmid of Ashton. Research has also discovered that there were two nursing sisters from Stittsville who worked overseas in World War One, namely Bertha Spearman and Susie Manchester. Another panel entitled “Veterinarians: My Heart Bleeds for the Animals,” tells how the First World War included many military veterinarians who were overseas, caring for the thousands of horses, dogs and other animals employed in the war.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Trillium Line Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study. The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands. The plan also incorporates new stations on the existing line at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights. Impacts to private property are anticipated to be limited to the areas adjacent to the proposed Lester Road and Leitrim Road grade separations. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The EPR for the Trillium Line Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting January 22, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours:

One of these veterinary surgeons was Dr. (Captain) Harold Spearman of Stittsville who joined the Canadian Army Veterinary Service in 1917. By the time of the Second World War, horses were replaced by motorized vehicles, so there was not any more need for military veterinarians. In 1940, in fact, the Veterinary Corps was disbanded, with only a handful of veterinarians remaining in the military, focussed on biological warfare. Another of the panels deals with the Red Cross in Canada. It began in 1885 and in World War One, there were thousands of Red Cross volunteers who collected money, clothing and food supplies for the soldiers. In World War One, there was no local Red Cross branch in Stittsville to roll bandages, pack food parcels and knit socks and hats for the troops. So the Stittsville Women’s Institute assumed this role in the Stittsville community, sending care packages, medical supplies and food to soldiers overseas.. In World War Two, there were 15,000 female volunteers for the Red Cross, mobilized into four divisions: motor transport, clerical, first aid and supplies. In addition, a 461 woman detachment served overseas.
This new exhibit plus the refreshment of the Village Store exhibit at the Museum are the work of project coordinator Jennifer Adams who has been hired by the Museum thanks to the World Wars Commemorations Community Fund on a six month contract to research and design the travelling exhibit and to update the Village Store. Jennifer has worked at Library and Archives Canada and also curated the exhibit about First World War flying ace Roy Brown at the Carleton Place museum. Both the new “Healing Hands” travelling exhibit and the Village Store refreshed and going under the new name “Food Will Win the War” are going to grow with more information and artifacts from the Museum’s collection for the Museum’s annual Father’s Day event in June. It has been found that there are many stories related to the nursing sisters, veterinarians and the Red Cross and these stories will be part of the expanded exhibit which will be on display at the Father’s Day event. Work associated with the project will also include the creation of three interactive activities to accompany the exhibits as well as an educational program for special events nights at the Museum with youth groups.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Environment laws blatantly rigged
A
developer in north Kanata wants to develop land; no surprise there. What’s surprising is the process, because it turns out the developer – KNL Developments Inc. – can destroy the habitat of protected species, and even kill any of that species present, as long as the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is satisfied that KNL will somehow provide a final outcome that benefits the protected species. That could mean other land is set aside for the rare Blanding’s turtles, and that butternut tree seeds are collected and spread elsewhere. If approved, KNL will bulldoze the land, cut down trees and blast into the bedrock for new pipes and wires. It’s hard to see how running over protected turtles with bulldozers or chopping down rare trees could end up benefiting said flat turtles and dead trees, but that’s how the system works. Those are the laws our elected representatives at Queen’s Park have enacted on our behalf. We are told we should be satisfied. The public has a chance to provide comments, but bizarrely does not get to know what
KNL will do in return for killing protected species. The developer need only provide ideas of what it might do. In a sick version of Let’s Make a Deal, the contestants (the public) can ask to keep what they have (rare turtles, trees etc.) or choose Door Number 1, all without any certainty of what they’re trading for. On the game show someone wins a car or gets a gag gift. What Natural Resources and Forestry offers is the status quo or possibly dead stuff and some kind of mitigation elsewhere. No sane person could favour the latter option. And no one at all could make an informed decision without all the facts. The public is being asked to comment, but those comments are clearly not valued, not even worth the paper they’re printed on. The process is flawed. The system doesn’t work. It’s up to our elected representatives to fix it or we can all play Let’s Make a Change when the next election is called.

here are fresh developments in the ongoing saga of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism. The new government, having determined that the memorial should be different from that originally imagined and on a different site, has now asked Canadians for their thoughts on the matter. This takes the form of a brief questionnaire on the Department of Canadian Heritage website. The government should know by now that nothing good can come of asking the people what they think, at least not on the Internet. It has only to think of John Scott, or Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf. We all know about Scott, the intended victim of online pranksters who wanted to make a mockery of

NHL bureaucracy was not averted. The practice of using the Internet to mock and bully goes way back. Its first notable appearance was in 1998, when the web was new and people were discovering creative and not-so-constructive ways of using it. That was when People magazine decided to put its 50 Most Beautiful People poll online. It was not a smart decision, although few realized it until it was too late. The winner by a landslide of People magazine’s Most Beautiful People award was Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, a character on Howard Stern’s controversial television program and the subject of a mischievous write-in campaign. A professional wrestler finished second. Leonardo DiCaprio was third.Pranksters are out there and the Internet is a powerful weapon for them. Does Canadian Heritage know this? Canadian Heritage’s questionnaire is quite simple, admirably short and asks some good
questions. Responders are asked to choose among a list of objectives. They are asked what they think the “visitor experience� should be. They are asked about the scale of the memorial. And they are given an open-ended opportunity to enter any other thoughts they might have about the design. Here is where disaster lurks. Here’s where the goofy ideas come in, the politically motivated and the just plain silly. Get ready for it. And in a way it would serve the government right. The memorial, whatever form it takes, will be art and you don’t create art by public opinion survey. Picasso didn’t survey his audience before putting paint to canvas. Michelangelo didn’t ask anybody what David should look like. The Group of Seven didn’t ask the public whether they should be Seven or perhaps Eight. It is easy to see the government’s motivation and, in a way, applaud

This will be small consolation for the present government, however, when it finds itself facing an urgent popular demand for a memorial to the victims of John Scott.

Traffic calming is working Temporary traffic calming measures on three Stittsville streets have worked in slowing down traffic. The three streets are Kittiwake Drive, Hartsmere Drive and Fringewood Drive. On Kittiwake Drive, the speed of vehicles before the implementation of the temporary traffic calming measures on the street was 56 kilometers per hour, with only seven percent of vehicles travelling in accordance with the posted 40 kilometer per hour speed limit. When the temporary traffic calming measures were implemented, the speed of vehicles on the street was 37 kilometers per hour with 94 percent of the vehicles complying with the 40 kilometer per hour speed limit. On Hartsmere Drive, the speed of traffic was 48 kilometers per hour before the implementation of the
temporary traffic calming measures and was 45 kilometers per hour following the placement of the temporary traffic calming measures. Compliance with the posted 40 kilometer per hour speed limit went from 54 percent prior to the temporary traffic calming measures to 63 percent with the measures in place. On Fringewood Drive, vehicles were travelling at 53 kilometers per hour before the temporary traffic calming measures were implemented, with only 18 percent of vehicles complying with the posted 40 kilometer per hour speed limit. Following installation of the temporary traffic calming measures, the speed of vehicles was 47 kilometers per hour with 57 percent of vehicles complying with the posted speed limit. Three other Stittsville streets which saw the instal-
lation of temporary traffic calming devices in 2015 were Liard Street, Hobin Street and two sections of West Ridge Drive. Currently the city’s Temporary Traffic Calming Program Coordinators are meeting with each councillor including Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri to determine the plan for installing these temporary traffic calming measures in each ward in 2016. Temporary traffic calming measures include centre line flex stake delineators, speed pavement markings, speed display boards, planter boxes and cyclo-zone delineators. In 2015, a total of $7,053 was spent by the city for temporary traffic calming measures on streets in the Stittsville ward. Most temporary traffic calming measures such as flex stakes must be removed for the winter season.

Farming innovator Garnet Ralph passes away Special to the News
Garnet Ralph of Richmond, renowned as an innovator in farming, has died. He passed away at the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community in Kanata on Wednesday, Feb. 3. He was 91 years old. Born in 1924, Garnet grew up on the family farm at Burritts Rapids where he was active in 4H and Junior Farmers. He was a member of the team that won the Ontario and the Canadian dairy judging competitions in 1943. He graduated from Kemptville College in 1947 and purchased his own farm at Twin Elm near Richmond in 1949. Garnet quickly introduced new techniques and technology to improve production on his farm. The results of this work were freely shared with other farmers and producers, leading to major advancements in production efficiencies in farms throughout Eastern Ontario. He was one of the first farmers in the area to install tile drainage which improved
the capability of his land to grow registered and certified cereal grains, grass seed, clover and soybeans. He also successfully grew corn and with an award winning yield of 87 bushels per acre of grain corn in the early 1960’s, he was instrumental in convincing other Eastern Ontario farmers to grow the crop as well. He conducted field trials for seed companies as well as test plot experiments for Kemptville College. His techniques for improving pasture production were adopted by many other Eastern Ontario farmers. While managing a milking herd of 85 Holstein cows, he developed local and export markets for pure bred and grade Holstein replacement cattle. After partnering with CIL and later with Cyanamid as a fertilizer dealer, he started Ralph Dale Fertilizers Limited in 1963, partnering with Cyanamid of Canada Limited, one of Canada’s major producers of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers at the
time. Ralph Dale Fertilizers built a fertilizer bulk blending plant at Twin Elm, ready to take orders for the 1964 fertilizer season. The plant offered farmers a custom fertilizer service based on individual soil tests, pioneering the concept of bulk fertilizer in Eastern Ontario. Bulk fertilizers enabled farmers to customize applications to soil conditions and crop production targets. Besides being a businessman, Garnet was recognized as an outstanding judge of livestock and field crops. He became an official judge for the Holstein Friesian Association in his late twenties. He also judged field crop competitions in cereal grains, grain corn and silage for county organizations over a 35 year period. During his lifetime, he served on many community and agricultural boards, associations and organizations in various capacities. Garnet was the host farmer and “Mayor of the Tented City” for the 1983 International Plowing Match
and Farm Machinery Show which was held centred at his farm at Twin Elm from Tuesday, Sept. 27 to Saturday, Oct. 1 that year. Late in 1970 Garnet received the W.G. Thompson & Sons Outstanding Leadership in Agriculture Award. In 1986, he received an Achievement Award from the Plant Food Council. He frequently hosted visiting local, national and international visitors to his farm to observe and learn about his farming techniques. Garnet was inducted into the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2005. The mission of the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame Association is to acknowledge, record and preserve the contributions made by leaders to the growth and development of Ontario’s agricul. . .
ture and agri-food industry. There is a plaque in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds recognizing Garnet’s induction into the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame. Garnet and his wife Lois (Adams), who survives him, were married for 66 years. He is also survived by three daughters, Deborah (Mark Watson), Nancy (Closten Ball) and Cheryl; three granddaughters, Jennifer (Don Heppner), Sarah Watson and Kate Williams; and three great granddaughters, Rachael and Julia Heppner. He is also survived by his sister Helen Dunbar, his sisters-in-law Mildred Adams and Dorothy Ralph, many nieces and nephews and his close friend Bob Aumell. Visitation took place at the Westboro Chapel of the Tubman Funeral Homes on
Garnet Ralph Richmond Road in Ottawa last Thursday and Friday, with the funeral service held in the chapel last Saturday, Feb. 6 at 11 a.m. Burial will take place at St. John’s Anglican Cemetery at Burritts Rapids in the spring. In memoriam donations to St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT
Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on February 10, 2016 established its intention to designate the Flewellyn Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of Property The Flewellyn/Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road, is a one-and-one-half storey stone farmhouse located in the west end of Ottawa in former Goulbourn Township. Statement of Cultural Value or Interest
Request for Expressions of Interest 3071 Riverside Drive, Ottawa The Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation (OCLDC), on behalf of the City of Ottawa, is seeking to identify developers and builders who may be interested in the purchase and development of the property located at 3071 Riverside Drive. A formal notice advertising the sale of the property will also be issued at a later date. This vacant 4.3-hectare property is situated in a prime location within the City, surrounded by an established residential neighbourhood. The property fronts on Riverside Drive and is opposite Mooney’s Bay. A high level concept plan has been developed through consultation with the community, and the City’s OCLDC is now also seeking input from the development industry. Interested parties are encouraged to contact OCLDC staff to learn more about this opportunity by March 10, 2016. Lauren Reeves, Senior Planner; MCIP, RPP OCLDC City of Ottawa Real Estate Partnerships and Development Office 110 Laurier Avenue West, 5th floor West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 27596 E-mail: Lauren.Reeves@Ottawa.ca
The Flewellyn/Jones House has cultural heritage value for its contextual value as an important reminder of the historic agricultural character of Goulbourn Township, design value as a 19th century farmhouse and historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family and the early settlement of Goulbourn Township. The Flewellyn/Jones House has design value as a good example of a Gothic Revival farmhouse built in the late 19th century to replace the earlier log house built when the land was first settled. Typical of this style, it features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmental arched windows and a veranda with wooden trim. The Flewellyn/Jones House is one of several houses in this area constructed with a similar plan. It features the same decorative bargeboard and layout as the Boyd House at 173 Huntmar Drive which was constructed one year later and may have been built by the same stone mason. The Flewellyn/Jones House has historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family, a prominent family in early Goulbourn Township who owned the house from the time of construction until the 1950s. The Flewellyn family came immigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1863 and this property is associated with the settlement and farming of this area by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-19th century. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report. For more information please contact:

‘Pioneer Portraits’ at Stittsville library John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
You can get a photographic glimpse at a number of Goulbourn’s pioneer settlers by visiting the Art Space Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library this month. That’s because the Goulbourn Township Historical Society is showing a photo exhibit there called “Pioneer Portraits� which will be on display until the end of February. The exhibition features eight framed photographs on the Art Space Wall itself plus a couple more photos in the glass display case that is associated with the Art Space Wall Gallery at the library branch. Thanks to a laminated information sheet prepared by the Historical Society which accompanies the exhibition, the viewer gets to know some background information about the person or persons captured in these old time photos. There’s a portrait taken about 1890 of John Wycliffe Bradley and his wife Eliza Wilson who acquired 100 acres on the Fernbank Road east of Stittsville in 1860. One of their sons took over the farm in 1909 and then a grandson, Garnet Bradley, took over the farm in 1948. Garnet served on Goulbourn township council and played on Stittsville’s 1956 championship provincial men’s ball team. Garnet’s son Rory was an active volunteer in the Stittsville minor hockey community before his sudden death several years ago. Another of the “pioneer portraits� is a photograph of Caroline and Currie Herron of the Ashton area. Currie was one of six children of early Goulbourn settlers Thomas and Nancy Herron who was born in 1820 and died in 1902. His wife Caroline was born in 1827 and died in 1923. After they married, they moved to Currie’s father’s original homestead on the east half of lot six, concession six of Goulbourn when his father built a stone house on the east half of lot four, concession six near Ashton. This “Pioneer Portraits� exhibition includes a photograph from the early 1900’s showing a group participating in a barn raising. In fact, it was a barn raising at the farm of William Neelin on what is now the Franktown Road just east of the Dwyer Hill Road.
The Neelin family was among the early Irish immigrants to the Munster area in the 1820’s. The exhibition also includes a photograph taken about 1905 of Mr. and Mrs. David George Alexander and their 12 children. It was back in 1829 that five Alexander men (two brothers and three cousins) came to Canada from Ireland, with William purchasing land on the Carp Road in the 1840’s from Jackson Stitt, building a log home there. This log home burned down in 1929 and was replaced with a frame home. This photograph shows William’s son David with his wife Ellen Hartin and their family. The youngest son in the photograph, Lloyd, lived in the Carp Road frame house until 1977 when he moved to another house nearby. Lloydalex Crescent, which runs parallel to the Carp Road in the area between highway 417 and Hazeldean Road, is named after Lloyd Alexander. Yet another photograph in this exhibition shows three young girls dressed in their best finery sitting around a table. This is a studio portrait taken in 1904 showing three young cousins who lived in the Ashton area whose married names became Muriel Drummond Duccie, Austin Hobbs and Kathleen Hamilton Bobier. They were the children of three Craig sisters, namely Mrs. Adelaide Drummond, Mrs. Maryann Hobbs and Mrs. Emma Hamilton. A portrait photograph of William McElroy, a general merchant and notary public in Richmond who was born in 1848, is included in this “Pioneer Portraits� exhibition. His grandfather came to Canada from Ireland. Yet another portrait shows a scene of a frame schoolhouse, specifically S.S. (School Section) No. 11, located on Fallowfield Road between Shea Road and Eagleson Road. This frame schoolhouse replaced an earlier log schoolhouse serving S.S. No. 11 which was on the Flewellyn Road but which had burned down in 1881. This photograph was taken in 1912. Another of the photographs hanging on the Art Space Wall for this exhibition is a portrait of Carleton Cathcart who has a street named after him in Stittsville. Born in 1797 in Ireland, he died in Goulbourn in 1882. He is considered one of the most influential early settlers of Goulbourn,
coming to Canada with his father and mother and family in 1822. The family settled on Mansfield Road where Goulbourn township first town hall was built. Carleton Cathcart was appointed township clerk when the municipality was established in 1850, holding the position until he died in 1882. He was also an entrepreneur, owning one of the first steam mills in the area. He and his wife, the former Mary Margaret McCaffrey, had 12 children. In the glass display case associated with the Art Space Wall Gallery are two old photographs. One shows Richmond tinsmith John Ferrier standing at the door of his McBean Street shop in the 1920’s. The other shows a photograph taken about 1920 showing a haying scene at the Spearman farm on the Fernbank Road at Shea Road. This Spearman farm dates back to 1818 and Sergeant Major John Spearman who fought in the War of 1812.
The display case also contains a scrapbook compiled by Mary Jane Argue dating from 1904 through to 1984. Also in the display case are copies of three books related to Goulbourn history: “A Sense of Place� outlining the history of Stittsville, written by Barbara Bottriell; “Goulbourn Stained Glass� written by Bernard Shaw which tells the story of the stained glass windows in various Goulbourn churches; and “For King and Canada,� written by the late A. Barry Roberts which tells the story of the 100th Regiment of Foot in which many of the original settlers of Goulbourn served. This “Pioneer Portraits� exhibition mounted by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society will be on display at the Art Space Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street until the end of February. The Art Space Wall Gallery is loated in the right rear area of the Stittsville library branch.

Rockets see Sens’ drills Continued from page 1
In the practice, the Rockets players got to see Sens coach Dave Cameron run his players through a series of drills, most of which stressed the same fundamentals as drills done by the Rockets in their practices but undertaken with more intensity and speed. One of those watching the Senators prac-
tice along with the Rockets players and parents was Cathy Bureau of Stittsville, who founded the Goulbourn Rockets girls hockey organization. The Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA) has seen its numbers double in the last two years. See GOULBOURN ROCKETS, page 20

Members of the Goulbourn Rockets Peewee House girls hockey team, kneeling in front with their new red Ottawa Senators/Scotibank Hockey Day in Canada jerseys on, assemble for a group photo with their coaches and with the players and coaches of the Ottawa Senators on the ice at the Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday, Feb. 3.
Goulbourn Rockets play shinny hockey with Senators Continued from page 18
GGHA has now attained full status so that it can ice competitive-level teams. As the Senators practice wound down, the Goulbourn Rockets players, who were in full hockey gear, were led from their seats down along a hallway under the seats to
eventually emerge at the visitors’ player bench where they donned their helmets and took to the ice with the Senators still on the ice. The two teams – the Senators and the Goulbourn Rockets – lined up opposite each other as the Senators players then presented each of the Rockets players with a red

jersey in commemoration of the upcoming Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada. The two teams then got together for a group photograph right on the Canadian Tire Centre ice before two shinny or pond hockey games were set up at each end of the ice, with Sens players taking on
Goulbourn Rockets players. Even Spartacat, the Sens’ mascot, eventually showed up on the ice to share his hijinks with some of the Rockets players. Sens coach Dave Cameron made like a goalie for a while. Sens sniper Bobby Ryan had some goalmouth bumping with Rockets goalie Bry-
enah Bennett during other hockey action. Sens like Chris Neil, Curtis Lazar, Mike Hoffman, Craig Anderson, Jared Cowen, Marc Methot all played shinny hockey with the Goulbourn Rockets for about half an hour. See TWO PLAYERS, page 25

Two players interviewed on video Continued from page 20
After the Senators had left the ice, the Rockets gathered on the visitors bench to have a group photo taken with Spartacat, shouting out “Happy Hockey Day in Canada from the Goulbourn Rockets” and also “Thank You, Scotiabank” as the video cameras rolled.
And there was still more for two of the Goulbourn Rockets players – goalie Bryenah Bennett and player Sarah Peters who were interviewed on video by Chris Paine of the Ottawa Senators organization. Sarah Peters called this experience one of the best days of her life while goalie Bennett said that she
had no idea at the start of the day that she and her teammates would be on the ice and playing with the Senators. She did acknowledge that she knew that she was pushing and bumping with the Sens Bobby Ryan as he stood in front of her net during some of the shiny hockey action with the Senators.

Proud father of Bruce (Eileen), Wendy Kristiansen (Fred), and Cyndy Courtland (Charles).

Armour, Ronald “Ron” We lost a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law on Sunday morning, February 7, and the many others who knew him lost a great friend. Ron Armour passed away at home, surrounded by his loving wife, Sue, and his five daughters, Lori, Lynn, Leah, Lisa, and Louise. There are too many wonderful memories of Ron to fit in a short story, or even a long one for that matter. One thing is for sure, he loved a good story himself and was known for his ability to weave a good joke into a great one. Ron loved to laugh, and he lived life to enjoy it. A glass of good scotch during happy hour, a day on the links at Mississippi or Black Bear, watching the sun set or the dolphins swim by from their penthouse condo in Myrtle Beach, trying to foil the squirrels from invading his bird-feeders. Spending time with his family. These were things he cherished the most. Likes included Reuben sandwiches and filet mignon. Dislikes, broccoli. Likes: winning at bridge and finding a good deal—of any kind. When something amazed or impressed him, it was always “uncanny”—and he said it like he meant it. A natural-born entrepreneur, Ron spent more than 23 years as the owner and operator of his own garage—a place his daughters knew they could always get a bag of free chips on the way home from school. And he spent another 20 building an impressive career in real estate. But his true love was away from work, at the cottage or travelling the world. Ron will always be remembered for the love and kindness he shared with his 12 grandchildren and the way he made his daughter and son-in-laws feel like a special part of the family. Ron will be resting at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place. Friends paid their respects and shared memories of their own on Tuesday, February 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Mass of Christian Funeral took place the following day at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 12 noon. Donations can be made in remembrance to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital or St. Mary’s Church. www.barkerfh.com

These donated gift cards could be redeemed at ToysRUs, ITunes, Old Navy, McDonalds and Sears among others. Donated Christmas gifts were also distributed among clients. All of this Christmas hamper and related activity was only made possible by the generosity of those
in the community who donated, whether for the hamper program or to food drives or via personal and corporate donations. Churches in the community showed great support at Christmas time, continuing their generosity shown throughout the year. The Stittsville Food Bank would like to extend a big “Thank You” to all who contributed to the 2015 Christmas hamper campaign. This includes those who delivered the food orders and also all the volunteers who put in countless hours
organizing, building and delivering the Christmas hampers to clients’ homes. The Stittsville Food Bank sincerely appreciates all of the support shown by so many in the community. It is only through such support and generosity that the Stittsville Food Bank can serve the needs of its clients, namely those in the community who are facing challenges in meeting their family’s needs with regard to food and other daily necessities of life.

Richmond Village Refugee Welcome all set to go - just waiting John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com’
The Richmond Village Refugee Welcome (RVRW) is all set to go. The only thing missing is a refugee family. “We’re sort of in limbo,” RVRW chair Stephanie Williams told those at a RVRW general meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 3 at the St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond. The local group is all prepared to receive and support a refugee family from Syria. But it is not waiting for an opportunity to pick an appropriate family from a list of refugee families. These lists are published every so often but the refugee families on them are quickly selected, providing a very small window of opportunity for groups like RVRW to make a selection. The RVRW wants to sponsor a family of only four or five because of the accommodation that is available and because of the capacity of vehicles that would be used to get family members to and from various appointments. RVRW has raised the funds required to apply to sponsor a refugee family, with over $11,000 in the bank. The group did locate check out four possible accommodations, two of which met requirements. However, the RVRW could not commit to the accommodations because of the lack of certainty about when a refugee family might arrive. These accommodations were both in Richmond as well as in Bells Corners. The RVRW has a three phase fundraising plan. The first phase, focussed on individual donations, had a $10,000 goal which was surpassed. The second phase which is getting underway is aimed at the business and organization sector such as businesses, churches and schools. The goal is $10,000

to $12,000 which is the amount needed to cover the rent charges for the refugee family for a year. A third phase of fundraising is contemplated as well. Fundraising plans include a casino and euchre night in the fall, a trivia night at The Glen Scottish Restaurant and Pub in Stittsville and a spaghetti dinner at Danby’s Bar and Grill. Donations can also be made online at Go Fund Me. A credit card can be used for these online donations at www.go-
fundme.com/richmondwelcome . RVRW has a webslite at www.RichmondVillageRefugeeWelcome.ca. It also has a twitter account, a blog and a Facebook page. RVRW is trying to get the word out that a family from the other side of the world will be coming to the Richmond community. Donation jars are being set up around the community with the goal not only of collecting donations but also of spreading the word about this refugee welcome project.
Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Q: My wife and I are separating. We have two sons, 11 and 8 years old. Things are reasonably amicable between us, especially regarding the children, and we are trying to figure out custody and access. We both work full time and will be living near each other. What does custody mean, and what sort of arrangements do people in our situation make? People commonly use custody to describe who the children live with, but that is legally inaccurate. Custody refers to decisions about how the child is raised – things such as education, residence, health care and activities. Therefore, joint custody does not mean a 50/50 time split between the parents. It means they will share in decisions about those important factors. In a situation such as yours, joint custody is likely appropriate. This means you will make decisions jointly on the above issues, regardless of how much time the children spend with each parent. Time spent with the children is referred to as access. In a joint custody situation, you may share access equally.

Bill’s employment practice includes advising both employees and employers on contracts, disability insurance policies, and employment standards legislation. Bill’s litigation practice includes work on breach of contract, construction, and shareholder disputes. Bill was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2009.
Some families do one week rotations, others more frequently. When access is not equal, the parent who has the children less often has them every other weekend and one weeknight each week. The arrangement should be based on such factors as the age and care arrangements of the children and the work schedules of the parents. In all circumstances, the parties should strive to consider what will be best for the children to maintain positive relationships with both parents. When you are negotiating your separation agreement, a family lawyer will be able to advise you on the legal and practical considerations of custody and access.

New French Catholic high school opens John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Much like the Grand Hall is the indoor architectural centrepiece at the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa, the central atrium at the new Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville is its architectural centrepiece, serving as the school’s gathering area or “main street.” Indeed, at the ceremonial sod turning ceremony for the new French Catholic high school in November 2014, architect Zofia Jurewicz from the firm Edward J. Cuhaci and Associates Architects Inc. of Ottawa did in fact describe the new school’s atrium as a “main street,” connecting what she termed the various “fingers” that are part of the school’s design. This “main street” runs through the core of the school, just like a spine that gives life and movement to a body. So, too, this two-storey main street atrium draws together all of the school’s features, providing life and movement to the school community. And just what is found along this “main street” atrium? The school’s front entrance off Abbott Street leads into this atrium, as does the wide hallway that leads to and from the school’s specialty rooms and gymnasium. And as for the hard floor gymnasium, spacious is not a descriptive enough word for this extensive facility that accommodates three cross-gym basketball courts as well as a stage area. But, back to the “main street” atrium.
Moving into the atrium, you come across its central feature – on one side is a stage area which interestingly backs onto and has access to the gymnasium’s stage area while on the other side of the atrium is an amphitheatre which not only provides access to the second storey classrooms and library but also provides row
upon row of seating area, directly opposite the stage area on the other side of the atrium. The stage area also has a front area of steps which not only extend and provide access to the stage area but also can serve as an area for student mingling and sitting.
Moving along this central atrium, there is the doorway that allows access to the building from the school’s bus loop and parking lot. There’s also the school’s cafeteria space where the two storey atrium ends. Beyond this, there is a wing of classrooms. See OPEN HOUSE, page 43

The atrium features a wood-featured ceiling and like all of the school, it has colourful accents. At both ends of the atrium area, on the second storey, are glass viewing areas where those on the second storey can look down on and over the whole length of the atrium. The north end viewing area is particularly enticing as it includes a gathering area, like a layby on a street, that includes seating cubes and an area-wide table counter. And all of this is right across from the school’s library. It’s obviously going to be a popular spot in the school. The school’s hallways are wide, with many lined with student lockers, some of which here and there feature bright colours. The flooring has its patches of colour here and there as well, also adding to the visual vibrancy of the facility. There’s lots of classrooms throughout the school, many on the second floor, but there are also classrooms on the first floor in the two hallways off the atrium. This central atrium area was filled with people, including students, parents and even grandparents, at an open house which was held at the school on Thursday evening, Feb. 4, just three days after the students and staff had moved into the facility at the beginning of the second semester of the 2015-16 school year on Monday, Feb. 1. The open house featured a presentation about the school year to date as well as presentations about programs which are being offered at the school. These presentations, all offered at the atrium’s stage/amphitheatre area, were presided over by the school’s principal/ headmistress Veronique Pourbaix-Kent. There was a video presentation showing scenes from student activities during the first semester when the students and staff were housed at Ecole secondaire catholique Pierre-Savard in Barrhaven while they awaited the completion of construction of this new school in Stittsville. Thursday, Feb. 4 was quite a day at the school as it also saw the school’s official opening ceremony in the afternoon in which students, staff, parents and community members gathered to celebrate the beginning of the school’s life. At this grand opening ceremony which saw a dozen officials and dignitaries cut a ceremonial ribbon marking the occasion, Rejean Sirois, who is the Director of Education for the Conseil des ecoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE), called Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais “a superb new school,” saying that the facility will be “a place that fosters creativity, innovation and learning.” Johanne Lacombe, chair of the CECCE Board of Trustees, noted that this new Catholic secondary school is meeting a huge need for the growing francophone community in Ottawa’s west end. “This new secondary school is further proof that the francophone community in this part of the city is strong, vibrant and growing steadily,” the chair said. This new Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais is the 11th secondary school for the CECCE. Named after prominent businessman, Franco-Ontarian and philanthropist the late Paul Desmarais, the name was selected by the school community. The life and work of Paul Desmarais embodied the values of innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship which are also values of importance to this new school community. Indeed, Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais will be offering an entrepreneurship and innovation concentration beginning in the 2016-17 school year. These are the two areas of concentration for the school as approved by the CECCE trustees and as recommended following a consultation with students, parents and the community at large. All of the CECCE’s secondary schools in Ottawa offer areas of concentra-

Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais Continued from page 43
This new Ecole secondaire Catholique Paul-Desmarais in Stittsville is the third French Catholic high school serving the west Ottawa area. It was needed to relieve overcrowding at Ecole Franco Ouest in Bells Corners which had16 portables on site and could not accommodate any more enrolment. Schools feeding this new French Catholic High School include Elisabeth-Bruyere in Kanata (excluding its Bells Corners attendance area), J.-L. Couroux in Carleton Place, Saint Jean-Paul II in Stittsville, Roger Saint Denis in Kanata (excluding its Crystal Beach attendance area) and Saint-Remi Catholic School in Kanata. This new French Catholic High School has 17 classrooms, five science laboratories, five computer and technical laboratories, five music and art rooms, three student support rooms, a stage, resource centre, cafeteria, chapel, a triple gymnasium, an exercise room and four change rooms. There are also playing fields on the north side of the building. The school, located at the northwest corner of Abbott Street and Robert Grant Avenue, the future main arterial north/south road through the Fernbank lands, has been designed to be a gateway and significant landmark for the surrounding fast-growing community. The new high school also has been designed for 21st century learning, allowing for active problem-solving based learning, the teaching of core subjects and the development of new skills like collaborative learning. The school also has been designed to be a certified eco-school, with sustainability and energy efficiency built in. McDonald Bros. Construction Inc., which has its headquarters on Westbrook Road in Stittsville, has been the general contractor for this new French Catholic High School. Paul Desmarais, a Sudbury-born financier who in 2011 was ranked as the fourth wealthiest person in Canada, died in 2013 at the age of 86. A public memorial held after his death attracted numerous politicians, dignitaries and members of Canada’s business and cultural communities including then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper, former Prime Ministers Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy and former Ontario Premiers Bill Davis and Bob Rae. Mr. Desmarais was highly regarded for his integrity and his commitment to a united Canada. He was born in Sudbury and attended the University of Ottawa. He began working at a railroad and bus line company, Sudbury Bus Lines, which had been established by his grandfather. He ended up acquiring additional bus lines in the Ottawa and Quebec City areas. He then acquired an interest in a Toronto-based life assurance company as well as in a company which had an interest in the Montreal newspaper La Presse. His Power Corporation of Canada also became involved in the pulp and paper industry as well as controlling financial firms like Great-West Life and Investors Group. He took over ownership of the La Presse newspaper in 1968. He eventually assumed ownership positions in firms in Europe. One of his sons, Andre, is married to the daughter of former Prime Minister Jean Chretien who himself has sat on the board of Mr. Desmarais’ Power Corporation of Canada. Former Prime Minister Paul Martin Jr. was employed by Mr. Desmarais who made Mr. Martin president of Canada Steamship Lines Inc., a Power Corporation of Canada subsidiary which was later sold to Mr. Martin and a partner. Former U.S. president George H.W. Bush has called
Mr. Desmarais “that rarest of men, who possess not only the drive, the integrity and the vision to succeed spectacularly in business, but also a tremendous capacity for friendship.” Mr. Desmarais was made an Officer of
the Order of Canada in 1978 and became a Member of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada in 1992. He received the Grand Cross of the National Order of the Legion of Honour in 2007. In his lifetime, he also received
numerous honourary degrees from universities such as St. Francis Xavier University, McMaster University, Concordia University, McGill University, Wilfrid Laurier University, Laval University and the University of Toronto.

In recent days, the village of Richmond lost two very strong, passionate leaders: Garnet Ralph and Sarah McKay. Mr. Ralph hosted the last local International Plowing Match in 1983 at his farm on Old Richmond Road.

Sarah McKay was instrumental in the formation of the Richmond Youth Centre and was also a dedicated volunteer for Richmond Residents for Community Space as well as the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School. Sarah left us far too soon. Both Garnet & Sarah will be dearly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing them.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
Feb. 5, 2016
Public Meeting: Proposed Retirement Residence on former Flea Market lands The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan application for 6176 Hazeldean Road (File Number D07-12-15-0201). The site is the location of the former Stittsville Flea Market bordered by Hazeldean Rd. to the north and Neil Ave. to the south. The applicant is proposing a five-storey retirement residence in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of 173 units and Phase 2 of 57 units. 110 parking spaces are being proposed. For more information please visit my website here. Residents in the area have raised transportation concerns with plans for this development and I am working to address these concerns with the community. A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 9 starting at 6pm at the Stittsville Library Branch located at 1637 Stittsville Main Street. Ash Woodlot Rehabilitation Program Ladybird Park at 65 Sirocco Crescent in the Timbermere Subdivision The City is continuing with its removal of Ash trees as a result of the Emerald Ash Borer. The removal area for this location is 0.7 hectares, and is concentrated on removing hazardous trees along the edge of the pathways and behind the homes. Maintained areas of the park will be cleared of small woody debris once the snow has melted and conditions are dry enough for equipment access. Reforestation timing will commence in Fall 2016 planting season and the area of 0.7ha will be reforested. Typical reforestation species that will be considered are: red maple, sugar maple, silver maple, serviceberry, hackberry, white pine, burr oak, red oak, American elder, white cedar, basswood, nannyberry, large tooth aspen, trembling aspen, dogwood and speckled alder. The Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native, highly destructive woodboring beetle that feeds under the bark of ash trees. All species of ash are susceptible to attack, except mountain ash, which is not a true ash species. Since it was first identified in Michigan in 2002, EAB has killed millions of ash trees in Ontario and many parts of the United States. It poses a major economic and environmental threat to urban and forested areas. It was confirmed in Ottawa in 2008 and its impacts can be clearly seen spreading from the St. Laurent area. Temporary Traffic Calming Measures The Public Works Department has received media inquiries pertaining to requests for a ward-by-ward breakdown of the funds spent in 2015 on temporary traffic calming measures. Between August and December, most Councillors purchased, ordered, and/or installed several traffic calming measures, including the following: - Centreline flex stake delineators - Speed pavement markings - Speed display boards - Planter boxes - Cyclo-zone delineators to create chicanes (artificial narrowing of a roadway) The total expenditure for Ottawa’s 23 wards equalled $176,102 of which Ward Six, Stittsville, utilized $7,053. Wards were allotted a maximum expenditure of $40,000 each which will be accrued into the 2016 calendar year. It is important to note that the program was only in effect from August to December, 2015 as the City of Ottawa’s Strategic Plan and the accompanying Strategic Initiatives were approved by Council in July, and the Department established the management of the program in August. Currently, the Temporary Traffic Calming Program Coordinators are meeting with each Councillor to determine the plan for installing temporary traffic calming measures in 2016. Upon completion of these meetings, action plans will be developed and will include details on costs and timing of installation. The plans will include measures funded under both 2015 and 2016 funding envelopes. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details. 48 Stittsville News - Thursday, February 11, 2016

Bren now has his sights set on earning his second degree Black Belt this spring while focussing on finishing off his grade 12 at South Carleton. He then hopes to move on to Carleton University in its Business Co-Op Program. Bren would like to thank the many local businesses which have helped him out over the years with his karate world travelling fundraising initiatives. These include the Kanata Sports Club, Don Cherry’s Kanata, Advanced Software Concepts, Jiffy Photo Kanata, Hyundai Kanata, Dr. Nick Karaiskos (Manotick), Stittsville Legion, Dave’s Auto Detailing, Napoli’s Café, Baton Rouge, Beyond the Batter, Bond’s Décor, Boston Pizza, Crazy Horse Lounge, Harvey’s Kanata, Hurley’s Stittsville, Kal’s Place, Jo-Jo’s Pizza, Papa Sam’s Restaurant, Heads Up Barber Shop, Mancini’s Hairstylists, Pretty Pots Florist, Rare, Sani-Sol Pool & Spa, Scores, The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub, Wiches Cauldron, PartyLite Gifts, Giant Tiger,

Local teams are also honoured for winning a championship at the provincial level or beyond. Major awards presented for 2015 included Melissa Bishop as top female athlete and Dustin Cook as top male athlete of the year.

Football all-star Skating show Special to the News
Stefano Napolitano of Stittsville is an Ontario University Athletics (OUA) football all-star. He has been selected as a second team offence all-star at the fullback position for the 2015 season. This is the first time that the Sacred Heart High School graduate has been chosen as an OUA all-star. The six foot, one inch, 255 pound fullback for the Carleton University Ravens became known for his bruising play this season, especially helping paving the way for a teammate to rush for over 1,000 yards this season. Now in his third season with the Ravens, Stefano is enrolled in a criminology program at Carleton. Stefano is an alumni of the Bell Warriors Football Club and is a re-
cipient of a Jim Wagdin Bell Warriors Scholarship which is awarded to selected Bell Warrior alumni who are going on to post-secondary education. The scholarships are awarded based on academics, Warrior experience and community involvement. When he received his scholarship, Warriors president Paul Stewart said that Stefano represented all of the personal characteristics sought in a successful scholarship candidate. “He was a tremendous Warrior on the field and his values exemplify what our proud club stands for off the field,” president Steward said at the time. Stefano is one of nine Carleton Ravens players to achieve all-star designation for the 2015 season.

‘Warrior Pride’ quilt being raffled off by Bell Warriors Special to the News
A quilt will be raising funds for the Bell Warriors Football Club this coming season. The fundraising will go to help the Bell Warriors keep the costs of playing football for youth at an affordable level so that such costs do not deter any youth from playing the sport of football. The queen-sized quilt, named “Warrior Pride,” was made by Diane Forsyth of Bells Corners who is not only a Bell Warriors parent but also is the Warriors videographer, spending her weekends in the fall videoing

These spring, summer and fall banners will be standard banners and will not be banners designed and created by Richmond youth as the winter banners are. In future years, these other seasonal banners may be created like the winter banners but not this year. These new spring, summer and fall street banners are going to cost the Richmond Village Association about $3,500. RVA 2015 president Tino Bevacqua told those at the
group’s annual general meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 2 that these new spring, summer and fall banners will help spruce up the village’s appearance and add some colour along these two streets. He noted that the RVA had received a $1,000 donation from Sean and Pam McCarthy in memory of their daughter Sarah, with the funds to be used to help beautify the village. These funds have been directed to the street banner initiative. Tino suggested that when people see these banners, hopefully they will think of Sarah.

Signs for Canada’s 150th birthday Special to the News
Two billboardtype signs publicizing the city of Ottawa’s celebrations for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 are being erected in the Stittsville area. They are two of five such eight foot wide by four foot high signs that are being put up at entrance points to the city for motorists using major provincial highways.
One of the signs is going up for eastbound traffic on highway seven west of the Hazeldean Road intersection at Stittsville. Another sign is being erected for eastbound traffic on highway 417 just east of the Richardson Sideroad overpass. Other signs are being erected for motorists entering the city of Ottawa
via highway 174, via highway 416 and via highway 417 at the eastern boundary of the city. “From the moment people enter city limits, we want them to feel welcome and excited for these once-in-a-lifetime celebrations,” city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson said in unveiling the signs. The Canada 150th celebrations are expected to see
about eight million visitors visit the city Ottawa as the capital of Canada. This signage program at the city’s gateways along provincial highways has been made possible through a partnership of the city of Ottawa with Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation. Canada turns 150 in 2017, with Confederation having taken place in 1867.

‘An Afternoon in Austria’ concert John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The sights, sounds and tastes of a Viennese café filled the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road last Sunday afternoon as the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers hosted a Viennese café concert “An Afternoon in Austria.” The afternoon began with some sweet treats before moving into some sweet sounds delivered by a pair of guest singers, a string ensemble, pianist Bonnie MacDiarmid and the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers’ European Tour Choir. It is in support of this Tour Choir and its upcoming trip to Austria and the Czech Republic that this Viennese café concert was being held. Waiters and waitresses provided Austrian goodies as well as beverages to the 150 or so who attended the event, sitting at tables covered with white tablecloths set up through the John Curry/Metroland church’s sanctuary. Each table Peter Fischer has his tea wagon filled with Viennese goodies was adorned with a miniature and beverages as he delivers them to a waiting table at the Austrian flag as well as a small “An Afternoon in Austria” Viennese café concert hosted by vase of white flowers. These flowers were not the well known the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers last Sunday afternoon.
edelweiss mountain flower that is symbolic of the Alps and countries such as Austria and Switzerland as such flowers were unavailable but they conveyed the flavour of the famous flower with their white colour. The goodies and beverages were delivered with some of the waiters and waitresses using trays while others used tea wagons, manoeuvring the wheeled wagon along the winding aisles between the tables to reach the table of destination. Treats served included apple strudel which is Austria’s national dessert and the most common dessert available in Austrian cafes; Linzertorte, reputedly the oldest cake in the world with one recipe dating from 1653 which is a delicate torte with a lattice design on top of the pastry which is named after the city of Linz which straddles the Danube River and is the third largest city in Austria; and Sachertorte, which is layers of dense chocolate cake with a glaze of apricot jam and a dark chocolate ganache that even has its own national day in Austria, namely Dec. 5.

Music in concert has connections with Austria Continued from page 54
The music delivered in this Viennese café concert all had some connection with the Austrian music scene, café hostess and Goulbourn Jubilee Singers artistic director Linda Crawford told those at the event. Some of the music was the creation of famous Austrian composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Peter Schubert and Gustav Mahler but there even was a piece by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi whose has an Austrian connection in that he died and is buried in Vienna. And the sights of Austria were not forgotten as the two video screens in the sanctuary area were used to show appropriate scenes during the various café concert performances. So you had a view of the Vienna State opera house, a mountain top scene of the Alps a la The Sound of Music, a view of the interior of a Viennese café and a scene of two men playing alphorns which are alpine wooden horns. All of these scenes, when added to the Viennese café goodies and the Austrian-based music, John Curry/Metroland made it feel like you were actually Eric Clipperton has a tea wagon laden with Viennese goodies as he delivers enjoying “An Afternoon in Austhem to a table at the “An Afternoon in Austria” Viennese café concert tria.” Performers in this Viennese hosted by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers last Sunday afternoon.
café concert included mezzosoprano Annie Duchesne and soprano Sarah Burnell, who performed both as soloists as well as together, always with the piano accompaniment of Bonnie MacDiarmid. Also performing was the Interlude Trio, a new string ensemble on the Ottawa chamber music scene. Members included Sandra Allan on cello and Bonnie MacDiarmid on piano. Violinist Jackie Morris had to be replaced for this performance. The Trio was also joined by several guest artists for a piece by Mozart. Also performing in the concert was the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers European Tour Choir which was depleted somewhat due to illness for a number of members. However, the two guest vocalists Annie Duchesne and Sarah Burnell joined the Tour Choir for this performance. The choir was back up by the Interlude Trio string ensemble (plus guests) as well as by pianist Bonnie MacDiarmid. Vienna became the centre of European music during the period 1750 to 1820. Symphony and string quartet forms were born at that time. Many major composers either lived or worked there including Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Mahler, Webern and others. The Austrian coffee house tradition has been declared by UNESCO to be part of the ”intangible cultural heritage” of Austria. The traditional coffee house is described as a place where “time and space are consumed, but only the coffee is found on the bill.” Legend has it that the first Viennese coffee house began after the second Turkish siege of 1683 when the Turks supposedly left behind sacks of coffee beans. However, the first documented café dates from 1685. The waltz, for which Vienna is famous, is based on traditional Austrian folk dances as well as a more formal court dance, the minuet. Towards the end of the 18th century, the waltz became quite the fad in Europe. It was initially considered to be a scandalous dance, declared to be too sensuous, vulgar and risque. Salzburg is another Austrian city known for its culture and music. The city is famous for its fine baroque architecture and its wellpreserved city centre. UNESCO named Salzburg a “World Heritage Site” in 1997. Salzburg’s most famous son is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born there in 1756.

MARY COOK Memories Even though the Findlay Oval was pounding out ferocious heat, I felt a coldness in the kitchen, which had nothing to do with the fast-burning wood diminishing in the stove, or the drafts coming from the frost covered windows. I sensed it as soon as I sat down at the supper table. It looked like my beloved sister Audrey had been crying. And Father’s Grace was shorter than usual. Everyone was quiet. Even my rambunctious brothers, who usually jabbed elbows when they took their place behind the supper table on the long bench under the grape-arbour window, sat like stones. What was happening? Why was everyone so quiet? Mother broke the long silence. “It may not be for long,” she said, looking at Audrey. “Once we get straightened away, you could quit.” Quit what? I knew I was too young to be caught up in serious talk, but wasn’t I old enough to know what was obviously happening to my sister to cause tears, and turn the kitchen into a room of such coldness? Sitting beside Audrey, I reached over and

Audrey’s future in school comes into question took her hand without saying a word, and looked up at her. “I may have to go into Renfrew to work.” Now the tears started to run down her cheeks like little rivers. “But you can’t. You are still in school!” I said. It was Father who brought the whole issue to a head. And as I listened I knew it wasn’t only for my benefit. He was trying to make sense of what was happening. There just was no money. It was as simple as that. It was the dead of winter, and there were no vegetables to sell, the egg-laying had slowed down; just enough for our own table. Mother’s blue jug was empty. It had been a bad few months, Father said. There were bills to pay: Briscoe’s General Store, Scott’s Hardware, and a small bill owing at Ritza’s Drug Store. Father went on. I knew it wasn’t for my benefit, but just to repeat what everyone else already knew: we needed money to get through the rest of the winter. Father and Everett were getting a few Saturday’s work at Helferty’s bush, but that only paid a dollar

a day. Emerson and Earl were left to do the chores. Going into Renfrew every Saturday with homemade soap, sticky buns and a few eggs did little to fill the blue jug. Not only for my benefit, I knew, but to once more try to justify what was happening, Mother tried to explain. The woman who ran the beauty parlour would take Audrey on to do housework, and help look after her growing family. She would live with them, work seven days a week, and earn a few dollars which she would hand over to Mother and Father, and perhaps, Mother said, she may be able to keep a dollar for herself occasionally. Now, I was crying too. “But what about school?” I asked. “Audrey is in the Entrance Class. How can you ask her to quit school when she only has a few more months to go?” No one had an answer. And there wasn’t much supper being eaten either. I looked at the half-filled plates, and knew most of what was left would be going into the big granite soup pot on the back of the stove. After the kitchen had been redded up, and the red-checked oilcloth wiped clean, no one made a move to enjoy the usual night-time activities around the table. Father moved to the rocking chair by the stove, but the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. Even Mother made no effort to bring her beloved diaries down from the cupboard. The only sound came from Emerson playing with a deck of cards, snapping one down after another onto the table, gathering them up, and starting all over again.
Father got up and began getting the Findlay Oval ready for the night. Using the iron poker, he jabbed away at the fire bed, laying down a big log from the wood box inside, and moving the rocking chair away from the heat, something he did every night before we went to our beds. Long before our usual time, we headed upstairs, Audrey leading the way with the coal oil lamp. The bed was icy cold and that night Audrey took out the bedroll that separated us, tossing it on the floor, and put her arm around me. I was sure she was pretending to be asleep, but I lay awake staring at the black ceiling, wondering what was happening to our family. My pillow was wet from silent tears, and I thought of the nights ahead when I would be alone in the big bed. There would be no one to sing me to sleep, or to stop the brothers from fighting in the next room. And what about Audrey? She had never been away from home before. Where would she sleep? My silent prayers that night were long and meaningful, and I made a deal with God. If he would find a way to keep my beloved sister at home, at least until she finished at the Northcote School, I would be the best behaved girl in all of Renfrew County. Would He hear my prayers? Would my prayers alone save my sister Audrey from leaving home? Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

You can help out Hope Living Centre Special to the News
Assistance provided to the Hope Living Centre in Kanata thanks to an initiative undertaken by a group of volunteers in the area, both ladies and men, has been overwhelming. This group of volunteers, numbering almost 30, wanted to support a cause in the community in which they could make a difference and they have made and continue to make a difference in the lives of those at the Hope Living Centre. Ruth Cameron of Richmond, one of the group’s members, placed a collection bin on her front porch in which donations of gently used towels, bedding and more could be left. Linens, towels, coats and hats have all been
donated, along with bedding and comforters. Right now, there is a need for single bed sheets, linens and towels and men’s pants with waist sizes of 28, 30 and 32. Men’s shavers are also needed as is summer clothing. With regard to the clothing, any excess that is not needed at the Hope Living Centre in Kanata will be sent to another of the living centres in the city operated by the Shepherds of Good
Hope which also operates the Hope Living Centre. The Hope Living Centre is a 99-resident home on Castlefrank Road in Kanata. The Shepherds of Good Hope purchased this former retirement home as a home for those with mental health issues who were being bullied in the downtown shelters. At the Hope Living Centre, each resident has his or her own room. They all pay a minimal amount of rent and
some are employed in the community. At the Hope Living Centre, residents have 24 hour medical care available and all meals are provided. If the Hope Living Centre receives more items such as towels and bedding than are needed, the items are passed on to the various downtown facilities operated by the Shepherds of Good Hope. There is always a need for warm jackets, socks, mitts, gloves and toques. Anyone with any
items such as linens, towels, coats, hats, single bed sheets, men’s pants or summer clothing can simply drop these items off at Ruth Cameron’s home at 118 Royal York Street in Richmond (right near St. John the Baptist Anglican Church which is at the corner of Fowler Street and Royal York Street). If you need directions or want more information about this initiative, please call Ruth Cameron at 613-838-5223.

Among the book’s photographs are two photographs from the Reilly farmstead at Stapleton on the Franktown Road west of Richmond and also one photograph of the historic Craig stone house on the south side of Franktown Road west of Dwyer Hill Road near the Beckwith boundary. The book refers to it as “Castle Hill Farm” which was what it was called when the book was published. It was once, however, known as “Craig’s Castle.” In the book’s introduction, the authors explain their purpose: “The photographs collected in this book are intended to record an aspect of the older settled, rural parts of Ontario, an aspect now being rapidly eroded by changing conditions. The collection is not intended to be a complete record, either of the rural landscape of Ontario or of its older buildings. Rather it is a sampling of what has pleased us in travelling over country roads, because a view or building seemed attractive
but an artificial pond somewhat fuller than normal.” Both of these historic Goulbourn locations were written up in the book “The Heritage of Goulbourn: A Driving Tour” which was written and illustrated by author Bonny Riedel in a project organized by the Goulbourn Township Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, with the book published in 1990. The book’s two pages on the Reilly farmstead states that the Reilly family came from Ireland and settled on what is now the Franktown Road, with the last of the original Reilly descendants, Herschel Reilly, living on the farmstead until his death in the summer of 1989. It is estimated that the log house was built around the 1830’s, calling it a simple three bay structure with a single twelve pane window on each side of the central door. “Basic, simple and of sound construction, this house exemplifies the typical first house built by the early settlers of the region,” author Riedel writes. With regard to the barns and outbuildings, author Riedel writes as follows: “The outbuildings, sheds, barns and milkhouse are also visible from the road with a variety of dovetailed squared lot and plant constructions.” The Reilly farmstead is also featured in two pages of photographs in the book “Carleton Saga” by Harry and Olive Walker which was published in 1968 and outlines the history of the Carleton County. The Craig stone house also has two pages in the book “The Heritage of Goulbourn: A Driving Tour.” The house is called “a regal stone farm house situated at the top of a hill, overlooking the road…” The Craig family came from Ireland and it was James Craig, known as “Big James” to distinguish him from a North Gower cousin, who had the stone house built to replace an original small log house. It was started in 1875 as the family of James and his wife had grown to include six daughters and four sons. The stone house remained in the Craig family for three generations.

and also cash donations totalling almost $400. Donations made to this year’s Richmond District Lions Club’s Christmas Cheer campaign were also directed to the Richmond Food Bank. In addition, Richmond Food Bank volunteers continue to regularly pick up food donations for the Food Bank which are left at King’s YIG. But this was not all of the preChristmas support received by the Richmond Food Bank. Jabulani Vineyard & Winery provided donations collected at its pre-Christmas open houses. Blue House Dog Grooming of Richmond supported the Food Bank by organizing the sale of coupon books, raising $3,400 for the Food Bank. The Toronto Dominion Bank in Richmond not only donated several hundred dollars in cash but also provided an abundance of toys which were collected at the branch. These toys were given to the children of Food Bank client families. Many individuals in the community made food and also cash donations to the Food Bank. King’s YIG supports the Richmond Food Bank not only in the pre-Christmas period but throughout the year. King’s YIG ensures that the Richmond Food Bank is part of the President’s Choice fundraising for food banks which happens across Canada. And it must not be forgotten that the Richmond Food Bank itself is totally operated by volunteers. The Food Bank thanks its many volunteers who put in many hours all year round to collect, sort, store and prepare food for Food Bank clients. The Food Bank is also grateful to St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond who have provided the space in which the Food Bank operates for the past 30 years. Sometimes storage space is a challenge but it always seems to work out.
in the Historical Society’s 2015 photo competition will be on display throughout the library at this open house. In addition, there will be some Historical Society members in period costume present to add a heritage theme to the open house. Those attending are urged to take along any old family photographs that they may have so that they could be scanned and placed in the Historical Society’s photo archives. There will be refreshments available for this open house.

with half of them returning as champions. For the Stittsville RAMS Major Midgets, the tournament came after a week of writing high school exams. These Major Midget ‘B’ RAMS travelled to Toronto to take on U18 AA teams in this tournament. For the older midget players, this was a memorable tournament because it was going to be their last minor hockey tournament road trip. The Major Midget RAMS had a sluggish start to the tournament, losing their first game 4-3 on Friday, Jan. 29. But two wins on the Saturday, a 3-1 win and a 2-1 triumph, secured first place and a trip to the finals against the North York Knights. In the championship final on the
Sunday, there was lots of back and forth action. Two goals late in the third period followed by an empty net goal as time wound down saw the RAMS win 4-1 and clinch the championship. The Stittsville RAMS Minor Bantams went undefeated in this North York Knights Challenge tournament. After beating Lakeland and Waterloo in round robin play, the RAMS met these teams again in the semis and the finals. After a dominating 5-1 victory over Waterloo in semi-final action, the RAMS fell behind Lakeland 2-0 in the first period of the championship game but then rallied with five unanswered goals to capture the championship.

Rideau Trail in Goulbourn Special to the News
The Rideau Trail connecting Ottawa with Kingston passes through Goulbourn. This 387 kilometer network of interconnected hiking trails is located in the general area of the Rideau Canal and its tributary watercourses. The Rideau Canal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Besides passing through Goulbourn in the Richmond area, the Rideau Trail also passes through or near two provincial parks, the Frontenac Arch UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, ten Rideau Canal Lock stations and over 70 private properties. The Rideau Trail is the second longest continuous hiking trail in Ontario. Established in 1971, the Rideau Trail is maintained and publicized by the Rideau Trail Association which is a volunteer operated organization that is funded largely by
contributions from about 900 members in the area. On the main Rideau Trail, red-orange isosceles triangles mark the northbound route from Kingston to Ottawa while redorange triangles with yellow tips mark the southbound route from Ottawa to Kingston. In addition to the main trail, a number of side trails exist which are marked by blue triangles. The trail itself crosses terrain ranging from farmland to the rugged Canadian Shield. It is intended for hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. The Rideau Trail Association owns no part of the Rideau Trail itself as the trail is made possible by the generous permission of both private and public landowners. Each of three hiking clubs associated with the Rideau Trail Association – Kingston, Perth and Ottawa – organize outings year round. The Rideau Trail has just launched a new website at www.rideautrail.org .

Annual ‘Quiz For A Cause’ to help out Seje community in Kenya Special to the News
You can enjoy a fun evening answering trivia questions while at the same time playing a part in building a new classroom in Kenya. It’s a classic win/win scenario. The Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street beside the Stittsville Post Office is holding its fifth annual Quiz For A Cause on Saturday, March 5, with all of the proceeds going towards construction of a new classroom at a school in Seje, Kenya. The church is in a partnership arrangement with the Seje community that has seen the church support projects in Seje such as a water supply project and a school project. If you would like to participate in the Quiz For A Cause
event, you can register at eventbrite.ca . For more information, please email grouplife@cbcstittsville.com . The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has been partnering with the village of Seje in Kenya since April 2011. The objective of the partnership has been to establish sustainable solutions in agriculture, clean water and education in the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. Villagers as a rule do not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region.
Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. Through various fundraisers such as the annual Quiz For A Cause and support from sponsors, the Community Bible Church in Stittsville has partnered with the community of Seje on several projects. A school for orphans has been started. Initially supporting two classes, namely junior and senior kindergarten, the school provides quality education, food and health services
for orphans. A water system that draws water from a nearby river was built. The system filters and chlorinates the water and then pumps it up a hill into a storage container. The system is solar powered and has distribution lines to sites such as the school. The Seje community volunteered its time to dig over two kilometers of trenches through dry, rocky ground to install the water system. The first phase of the project is nearly complete. Ten dilapidated huts have been rebuilt. They are the homes of those who are sick or elderly and could not do it themselves. A community centre that serves multiple purposes such as meetings was built.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you assumed you were right on track, you soon will see why it isn’t safe to assume. Do not take anything for granted and consider all potential outcomes. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Interpersonal dynamics are constantly changing, and you may have a challenging time wrangling in your relationship to where it feels comfortable, Taurus. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even if you are uncertain about someone’s intentions, it is best to give that person the benefit of the doubt. However, an ounce of skepticism never hurt anyone. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is better to make your choices sooner rather than later this week. Putting decisions off only complicates matters. It may be an anxious time, but you will pull through. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Stop worrying about how others see you, Leo. This week own up to your beliefs, even if they seem to go against the norm. You may be surprised at the support you receive. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a hectic week leads to lots of demands on your time. Take things one task at a time and do not be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are overwhelmed.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, frustration at work may not be directed at any one person, and you can’t let it consume your life. Make the frustration work to your advantage instead. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Romantic thoughts this week will have you on a mission to spend quality time with a loved one, Scorpio. You may do everything in your power to be near your significant other. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Don’t try to erect barriers, Sagittarius. This week you have to let someone in and unburden some of the problems or thoughts that have been weighing you down. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Accomplish something important based on what you learn this week, Capricorn. Keep your eyes and ears open to all of the possibilities around you. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Try not to take the easy way out, Aquarius. When faced with some tough questions, stay strong and true to yourself. You will be happier in the long run if you do so. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take some time off if your job seems like a headache this week. If you have the time, enjoy a long weekend or a short jaunt during the week. 0211
