Community honours its special residents BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Brian Dryden/Metroland
Barbara Bottriell (second from left) accepts the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year Award on May 16 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex during the annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards. She was congratulated by Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri (left), Heather Kristjansson, the daughter of the late Roger Griffiths (second from right) and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson. The awards also honoured the business of the year as well as youth and senior of the year within the community.
When Barbara Bottriell first arrived in the 1970s in Stittsville, the community was made up of just a few thousand people. Over the years since then, it has become a thriving suburb of more than 30,000 people on the national capital’s western edge, and Bottriell has become one of the community’s most well known historians, writing about the past as the community has evolved into the future. On May 16 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, Bottriell was just one resident of the community to be recognized for their contributions to Stittsville and beyond at a special Stittsville Appreciation Awards gathering where she was named the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year for 2016-2017.

Thank you!
I want to thank so many people for their tremendous outpouring of support to help the communities affected by the flooding. As I said in the House of Commons, while it is heartbreaking to see the loss of homes and properties, it is so inspiring to see the enormous outpouring of community spirit and generosity. Thank you all!

People who live here are what makes Stittsville special: Qadri Continued from page 1
“I am very proud to belong to this community,” she said after winning the award. “It’s a wonderful surprise and a great honour. I am very grateful to recieve (the award),” Bottriell said. According to the bio submitted with her nomination Bottriell served on the Parent Council at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in its early years and has written two books focused on Stittsville, including one about Mowoo, the deer that became a village pet and the other telling the history of Stittsville. “In her role as president of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, she was involved in the Main Street Community Design Plan and she also was a leader in the battle to try to preserve the Bradley’s General Store building after its disastrous fire. “She is an active member of the St. Thomas Anglican Church and her love of singing has also led her to become a member of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Known as the heart and soul of the Historical Society for years, she is an acknowledged leader and inspires those around her to do more.” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said Bottriell and other nominees in the different award categories are examples of what makes Stittsville a great place to live. “Community is not about the bricks and mortar of its buildings, but it is about the welcoming neighbours, the volunteers for a chili cook-off or soap box derby, that is all part of building a communty, that is the moral fibre of a community — all you guys,” he said of all the nominees. Also nomintated for Citizen of the Year were Janice Leblanc and Heather Strachan. See BEST, page 5

Mayor’s Report
CELEBRATING CANADA’S BIG DAY By: Mayor Jim Watson
Continued from Page 3
The Youth of the Year winner was Caitlin Bauer. “This nominee emulates the perseverance, courage and compassion that not only make her a great leader but an extraordinary citizen of Stittsville,” her nomination bio said. “Chosen by her school’s guidance counselors as an ideal Peer Mentor and Sources of Strength student leader, she actively models to both staff and fellow students the value of giving back to improve the lives of others through her participation and leadership in local and global initiatives such as ‘SleepOUT for Youth’ and ‘Relay for Life’ and even travelling as far as Nicaragua to lend her hand in building a school. “She is a role model for youth and adults alike and her efforts and positive impact are felt throughout Stittsville, Ottawa and beyond.” The other youth nominees were Matt Smart, Shayna Douglas, Katie Xu, Jack Fan and Sam Spriggs. The Senior of the Year award went to Patricia Warford, who every Tuesday for the past 15 years has volunteered at the Stittsville Legion, setting up and cleaning tables and chairs in preparation for those who play cards. She has been involved with the Stittsville Legion board of directors for the past 15 years, an active volunteer with the Food Bank for six years, volunteer tenant representative with the Goulbourn Non-Profit Housing Corp. for 18 years, and zone commander for the Stittsville Legion Ladies Auxiliary for 12 years. “I am very honoured,” Warford said. “I’ve been doing this a long time, thank you very much,” she said after winning the award. Also nominated for the award was the Knotty Knitters knitting group. Business of the Year winner was Revera Living Retirement Home & Residence. “This nominated business is comprised of an excellent staff of caring, thoughtful and respectful persons who are dedicated to helping their senior residents to enjoy healthy senior years while still contributing to the community,” the nomination bio said. Also nominated in the Business of the Year category was the U-Rock Music School, Quitters Coffee and RONA. Mayor Jim Watson attended the ceremony. Watson praised Stittsville’s residents for their dedication to their community as indicated by the quality of nominees who were nominated for the annual awards.
We have been working hard to bring Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations to the Nation’s Capital and kicked off 2017 by lighting up the Cauldron at City Hall and the Centennial Flame with a First Nations sacred fire.

Sacred Heart wants to raise $15K at Relay For Life BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Sacred Heart High School has set a goal of $15,000 for its Relay For Life event this year. Last year’s event raised about $13,000. Already this year, thanks to fundraising activities that began last October, the school’s Relay For Life group has raised about $8,000 toward the $15,000 goal.
There will also be funds raised by pledges which participants collect for their walking efforts at the Relay For Life event. Once again this year the Relay For Life event is taking place at the Oz Dome off Carp Road, and will be held on Friday, June 2, from noon to midnight. In a Relay For Life event, at least one member of each participating team must be walking

around the track at all times. This year about 170 students have signed up to take part in the Relay For Life. They will participate as members of one of 13 teams including one team comprised of Sacred Heart alumni. This year the teams will be wearing different colours to distinguish themselves. Last year team members wore different costumes based on a theme. The Relay For Life program

There will also be various activities throughout the day including games and yoga. There will also be musical performances with Sacred Heart student and cancer survivor Emily Lusignan as one of the performers. Fundraising

Fundraising activities by the Relay For Life group to date have included a recent barbecue at the Giant Tiger store in Stittsville which raised just under $400, a coffee house at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville which generated almost $700, the sale of cotton candy at the school, a hat day at the school and the holding of several bake sales at the school. In addition, Giant Tiger in
Stittsville has been collecting donations of $2 from customers for the Relay For Life event, with the goal of raising $1,000. Heading the Relay For Life organizing committee for Sacred Heart this year are students Caitlin Bauer, Vanessa Salvatore and Matt Smart who is serving as the logistics co-ordinator on June 2, making sure that things run smoothly. This is the third annual Relay For Life event held by Sacred Heart High School. The school’s involvement began four years ago when some Sacred Heart students took part in a Relay For Life event at Cairine Wilson Secondary School. Bauer says that she has taken part in Sacred Heart’s Relay For Life for four years now because she has been affected by cancer personally with her grandparents both battling
cancer at one point. She notes that the funds raised through this year’s Relay For Life event will go to support patients dealing with the disease and will also go to support cancer research. Salvatore says that she also has had friends and family affected by cancer. “It can happen to anybody,” she says in explaining why she is involved with the Relay For Life event. She says that the Relay For Life event not only raises funds but also raises awareness about cancer. The Relay For Life student organizers are assisted by a number of Sacred Heart teachers who provide advice and support to the students. The student organizers are also very thankful to the Oz Dome, which provides the site where the Relay For Life event is held.

OPINION
Connected to your community
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
L
eadership in politics is what energizes and motivates people and engages them in the political process. But while good leadership excites, bad leadership discourages. And we have seen recent cases that have covered this spectrum. Let’s call it The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, with apologies to the 1966 spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood. “The Good”, obviously, is federal Conservative Party interim leader Rona Ambrose, who has announced she is leaving politics. She guided the party to something of a rebirth after its disheartening defeat in the last election. After a relatively mediocre stint as a cabinet minister under former PM Stephen Harper one might have wondered about her leadership qualities, but over her term as interim leader she has rebuilt the party into a formidable and respected opposition. She has done this, we would suggest, with dignity, poise, intelligence, and integrity. She has demonstrated what leadership should be all about. Compare this with “The Bad” and “The Ugly.” “The Bad” is Liberal defence minister Harjit Sajjan, who not once but twice took credit for mil-
itary planning in Afghanistan that he simply did not do. That much is pretty clear. What is not clear is why Sajjan, a respected and decorated soldier in Afghanistan, did this? By way of explanation, he said that he had “made a mistake in describing his role.” Really? He may describe it as a “mistake”; others might term it downright lying. But what is truly disappointing in this situation is that the minister did not have the integrity to resign from his position. That’s why he merits “The Bad” label. And as for “The Ugly,” the Duffy episode was bad enough, lowering the public’s esteem for the Senate immensely. But now comes Senator Don Meredith, who used his position to pursue an inappropriate sexual relationship with a very young woman. The Senate’s ethics committee called his behaviour “one of the most egregious breaches” by a senator of what is expected. It called for his expulsion from the Senate, the first time that would happen. The senator avoided this by eventually resigning, ending this “ugly, ugly” situation. So, there you have it. “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” And some wonder why so many get turned off on politics these days.
Airline travel certainly no walk in the clouds
T
here seems to be no shortage of news stories about people getting kicked off airplanes. Typically, people get on an airplane, the airline discovers that there are not enough seats, and then determines that a particular passenger, along with his family, should leave the flight in order for other passengers to board. In the worst case (so far), the passengers booted off the plane were unseated in order to make room for airline employees. In a less-bad case, the passengers were booted off the plane because of what seemed to be a rather minor irregularity in ticketing. In all cases, passengers were seriously inconvenienced, when not physically harmed. In all cases, the airline apologized, sometimes belatedly, sometimes grudgingly, and announced that its primary concern was to serve the
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town public in the best possible way. For example, here is how Delta Air Lines ended its apology for kicking off an entire family, including an infant: “Delta's goal is to always work with customers in an attempt to find solutions to their travel issues.” These stories resonate with us, because when we read them we realize that it could happen to us. Having passed through security, having waited and waited, having presented our boarding pass and our photo I.D., we could be safely in our assigned seat, breathing a sigh of relief when somebody from the airline comes along
and demands that we get off, for a reason that doesn’t even matter. It could happen to us. And we are powerless to stop it. That’s what makes it worse — our powerlessness. Powerlessness is part of the air travel experience for all of us. We dare not make a joke. We dare not question authority. Because at any moment we could be singled out and denied the right to fly. If we want to know what living in a totalitarian society is like, this is it. There are nice airports in the world, and Ottawa’s is one of them, but the over-all impression of the flying experience is that we are treated like cattle. In a largely free and largely democratic society, it is difficult to imagine other areas of life in which this is so. In most places, if we are treated unfairly, arbitrarily, we object. We

argue. Someone in authority comes to talk it over with us. We might win the argument, we might lose it, but at least there is a discussion. Not so in the airline world. The airline world has us over a barrel because we need to get on the plane, and will endure whatever mistreatment is on offer in order to do so. We will pay for things that we shouldn’t have to pay for (checked baggage, room for our knees), we will take off our belts and shoes, sit through unexplained delays and, it appears, look on without comment as our fellow passengers are chucked off the plane. Fortunately, one thing aggrieved passengers can do is go to the news media. As the result of extensive coverage of recent unpleasantness, the Canadian government promised last week to take legislative action, including a EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Brian Dryden 613-221-6162 brian.dryden@metroland.com
provision that passengers cannot be bumped off planes against their will. Many more rights need to be restored before we can feel like free people when we fly, but that’s a step ahead.

Flowers, thanks to Anglican Church Women, have now all been planted on the grounds. Some are by the side entrance, some at the parking lot and some by the sign. Flowers have also been placed in a urn by the main entrance. Six new shrubs have been planted along with some perennials in the raised round bed on the property. Bob Lomas has done yeoman’s work, fixing the lawn and heading up the cleanup day efforts. All this new planting and gardening just about eliminated a load of topsoil that had been delivered. Only a very little bit of the 10 cubic yards of topsoil remains. *Brown’s Your Independent Grocer was the site for the start and finish of the Ride for Disabled Vets which took place on Saturday, May 13.

‘Optimism’ is theme at meeting of Stittsville Toastmasters Club by Monika Jain
Special to the News
“Optimism – Learned or Lived” was the theme for the May 17 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. Grammarian Gina Cook chose “Positivity” as the word of the day. Carla Gajdecki, one of the speakers at the meeting, talked about “lean coffee” which refers to a structured meeting but one with no agenda. Speaker Lori Holloway, who recently joined a writer’s group at the library, shared her knowledge about the benefits of keeping a journal. Richard Cook, the Table Topics master for
Submitted
the meeting, asked members to pick a number and based on the number, he assigned a quotation to the member.

Kanata Light Rail Transit Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Open House #1
Monday, June 5, 2017 Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Place, K2V 1A2 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.) OC Transpo routes: 92, 96, 167, 118 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. This Planning and EA Study will define a corridor for the future expansion of the City’s LRT network to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The study will examine LRT corridor options for a broader area to the north and south of Highway 417. The outcome will be a Recommended Plan that identifies the LRT corridor, station locations, and supporting facilities, and determines an implementation strategy based on ridership and affordability. The EA portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. Information on the Kanata LRT Planning and EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/ KanataLRT or Ottawa.ca/kanatatlr. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the project manager below before the event.

Brittany Drive Pumping Station Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)
Revised Notice of Completion The City of Ottawa is planning a replacement of the existing Brittany Drive water pumping station located at 565 Brittany Drive with a new facility to serve the Montreal Road Pressure Zone. The proposed new pumping station is required to provide water system capacity and reliability to the existing users and new development in the zone. The planning process for this project followed the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and was completed in November 2005 as a Schedule B undertaking. The timing of the station replacement was connected to the former Rockcliffe CFB Redevelopment project which was delayed for several years. The City consequently also delayed the detailed design and construction of the new Brittany Drive Pumping Station. Since the period of time from filing the first Brittany Drive Pumping Station Class EA Notice of Completion to the proposed commencement of construction for the project exceeds 10 years, the City reviewed the project planning to ensure that the project preferred solution and associated mitigation measures are still valid. The review concluded that no changes to these recommendations are required. If you would like to review the updated Project File or to provide written comment, please contact the City project manager at the address below within 30 calendar days from the date of this Notice.

Notice of Commencement Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to construct a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road. This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the O-Train Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the O-Train Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).
Figure 1: Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor The Process The City of Ottawa has completed a preliminary planning phase and is commencing the Environmental Assessment Phase in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. Consultation A draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) has been prepared. The draft EPR contains the basis on which this project is being carried out, an analysis of existing environmental conditions, supporting studies, an analysis of impacts the project may have, recommendations on potential mitigation measures, and a record of consultation that has taken place during the study period.

Holy Spirit CWL fashion show raises $3,000 in support of local palliative care services Special to the News
A fun event that helped out a great community cause. You can’t beat that! And this is exactly what the recent fashion show hosted by the Holy Spirit Catholic Women’s League (CWL) was. The event raised approximately $3,000 in support of local palliative care. And the sellout crowd which attended had a great time, not only enjoying the spring collection of fashions offered by Judy Joannou Designs of Ashton, but also winning door prizes and indulging in some delicious snacks and desserts. It all made for just a superb Saturday afternoon. Held on Saturday, May 6 in the parish hall at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road in Stittsville, this was the first-ever fashion show held by the Holy Spirit CWL. All proceeds from the ticket sales plus 10 per cent of boutique clothing sales of Judy Joannou Designs are going to support local palliative care. The door prizes which were given away
ranged from gift certificates to beauty products. Judy Joannou’s spring collection featured fresh and colourful fashions, including an exclusive line and specially selected accessories. The CWL of Holy Spirit Parish would like to thank Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville for providing carnations for all of the ladies attending the fashion show. In addition, the CWL would like to thank Hurley’s Grill in Stittsville for providing a gift certificate for the door prizes. The CWL also thanks Reflections Hair Design and Spa in Stittsville for providing a gift certificate for the event. Judy Joannou Designs of Ashton, founded in 1992, features fashions geared for the 40-plus woman. Palliative care addresses the physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical needs of those facing end-of-life or life threatening illnesses. More hospice beds are needed in the Ottawa area. In addition, funds are always needed to ensure that palliative care programs and services are available to those who need them.

Master gardener Judith Cox believes gardening should be fun for those of all ages by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
For master gardener Judith Cox of Stittsville, gardening is “magic” and gardening should be fun. And so while her presentation to the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, May 16 was entitled “Gardening with Children — With purple carrots, honey bees and magic,” her advice on the magic and enjoyment of gardening was focused not just on children but also on those of all ages. She wants people to have more enjoyment in their gardening, just like a child would have. And, for Judith, the magic in gardening is simple. You put something in the ground and a plant grows up. She said that this is magical for a child but then added “I find it magical myself.” Judith gave lots of ways to introduce children to gardening from making what she called a “fairy garden” to using a seed catalogue as a colourful and informative resource that children can cut up to make a gardening collage. “They’re like a wonder book,” she said about seed catalogues which can be ordered online. Growing your own lettuce or celery or even pineapple from scraps, first in water and then in the soil when they develop roots, is another way of demonstrating the magic of gardening to children. And this can even be done with avocados, provided the water is changed every few days. For Judith, creating a “fairy garden” in a planter is a great way to interest a child in gardening. And while it’s termed a “fairy garden,” it can take on any theme, whether it be Minecraft, Xbox, or whatever. It is simply a matter of enhancing the plants in your “fairy garden” with what is interesting for a child. And for Judith, creating a “fairy garden” is not just for a child. If a child is making one, you should make one too. Why? “It’s fun” is Judith’s reason. It’s also easy. Select your plants, decide on the accessories and pick a container, one that is preferably wide and shallow, giving lots of space while remaining relatively light to move around. Space the plants in the planter and then place the accessories, be they a little cottage house or some other attraction. Then add rocks, shiny glass or other features that you might find at the dollar store or at a garage sale. You could add a butterfly that is airborne thanks to a wire. This “fairy garden” is a way of introducing plant material and gardening to a child. Judith is a fan of heritage vegetables. She loves the taste of heritage tomatoes but advises that hybrid varieties may have to be used because of poor germination by heritage varieties. The problem is that hybrid varieties will not provide the same great taste. She is also a fan of purple carrots which she calls absolutely delicious, being sweet and tasty. And besides purple, there are also yellow and white carrots besides the traditional orange
ones. She likes the yellow carrots as well, saying that they are like candy in your mouth. She laments that sometimes people take for granted what a vegetable should look like. Yet even with carrots, there is variety in colour. She advised not to peel purple carrots but rather slice them and then roast them. The result? “They are beautiful,” she says. “They’re like little jewels.” Judith advocates letting some of your lettuce go to seed in the garden and then collecting that seed for next year’s garden. This is particularly doable with heritage lettuce varieties. Judith told about having a water feature in a garden. Such a feature can attract frogs, toads (great for getting rid of slugs), dragonflies (they eat mosquitoes), butterflies and honey bees. The lid of a garbage container placed upside down in the garden can serve as the home of a water feature, perhaps with some rocks added to accommodate some of the users. “It’s like a cool ecosystem in this one lid,” she says about such a water feature. Judith says that growing giant pumpkins can be fun but warns that they require a lot of work. She recommends, though, growing minipumpkins which are great for making pumpkin pies. Planting herbs in pots is another way of teaching a child about gardening. A child can learn how to pick herbs, how to touch them and how to eat them. Herbs are also great for providing scent in the garden, including in a “fairy garden.” Lavender, thyme, rosemary, mint and lemon balm all have different smells. John Curry/Metroland Judith also recommends including sweet Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society president Ian Frei (left) is with guest speaker smells in a garden, such as roses. She says that a Judith Cox (right) at the Horticultural Society’s May 16 meeting at which Judith spoke. garden is a place which should be open to touching, tasting and smelling. She says that roses tend to get a bum rap because some that are sold are too tender for this SkilBilt Construction Inc. area. She advocates planting hardy roses such as is an Ottawa based the Explorer Series or the new Canadian Artists renovation company Series.

Solo show for Stittsville artist by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sunlight in the Fall, Smiling Ghost, Ready to Fly Away, Ripples, Tree of Life, Blasting of Light, and Blossoms. These are but some of the names of the 34 works of art which Stittsville artist Daniel Morales-Gomez displayed at his recent solo show entitled From Nature and Imagination at the Platform Gallery on Young Street near Preston Street in Ottawa. All of the works were colourful abstract pieces that really jumped off the white walls of the exhibit space at the Platform Gallery. The Platform Gallery is an artist’s co-op at which a number of artists have studios. Daniel opted not to have a studio there because travelling back and forth from Stittsville would make it seem too much like a job. However, he did agree to a request that he have a solo show there which took place from May 4 and May 14. Daniel not only paints abstracts but also does landscapes as well. But for this solo show, he picked oil on canvas abstract works. With each piece, Daniel tries to entice viewers to open up their minds and give meaning to the shapes on the canvas. Daniel reveals in his work a unique style
blending facets of Canadian and Latin American artistic expressions and traditions. Daniel himself is self-taught in the arts. He began experimenting with oil and water media in his native country Chile. He became a professional artist after a career in international development and education. He holds a PhD from the University of Toronto and a masters in international education from Stanford University in California. He studied philosophy and education in Chile. Daniel’s artistic style involves an evolving quest to reflect his life experiences through the interplay of light, colour and form. His work tends to be a study in contrasts, reflecting his admiration of nature, the permanence of cultures and his Latin American origins. In his most recent abstracts, he tries to express movement and emotion, using a fluidity of colour and simple forms. In his oil painting, Daniel explores the seasonal shades of the Canadian landscape, the country’s vast geography and urban and rural history. His European cityscapes and country vistas portray an early passion for architecture. Daniel works in a home studio and is involved with artists’ groups in Kanata and West Carleton.

Again on Wednesday, May 17, just like a couple of weeks earlier, residents of the Stittsville Seniors Community lined up in the sunshine along Stittsville Main Street at the front of the building, cheering on the Ottawa Senators to passing motorists. The residents got lots of honking horn blasts back in response to their cheering. The residents held up signage urging on the Sens, who were playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third game of their conference final series at the Canadian Tire Centre that night.

Fallowfield 4H ‘ers learn about market lambs, hay, draft horses special to the news
4H gives youth an opportunity to learn about various aspects of farming. This can include learning about animals such as market lambs and draft horses, as well as learning about the qualities of good hay. Fallowfield 4H Club members recently gathered at Kyle Seguin’s sheep farm at North Gower, where they learned how to judge market lambs, hay and draft horses. The Fallowfield 4H Club wishes to thank Kyle Seguin and his family, along with Chris Kelly - who provided

the light draft horses to judge - for making this May 16 meeting so informative. The Fallowfield 4H Club’s next meeting will take place at the farm of Laura and Paul Naismith in Arnprior, where members will learn how to judge beef cattle. In addition, Paul Sullivan will be doing a crop demonstration. In June, club members will be taking a field trip to Stirling, Ont., travelling by bus to the Water Buffalo Co. and the Ivanhoe cheese factory. Fallowfield 4H Club members will also be attending the 4H judging night at Richmond in July. The Fallowfield 4H Club is a community club that has 33 members who show in either dairy, beef or crops. The club generally holds several meetings a month, trying to visit and learn about different segments of agriculture. Fallowfield 4H Club leaders this year are Janet Arthurs, Brittany Jackson, Spencer Hill and Louise Hill. At the club’s first meeting for this year, members elected an executive. Mark Ruiter was elected president while Shannon Arthurs is the vicepresident. Caroline Nixon is the secretary with Nolan Arthurs serving as treasurer. Emerson Jones is the press reporter. 4H is a youth development organization that can be found in 70 coun-
tries around the world. This includes all the provinces in Canada. For over a century, 4H in Ontario has been building youth as leaders in their communities. 4H in Ontario is open to all youth. In 4H, youth aged six to 21 come
together to learn about topics through hands-on activities and mentorship. Volunteer leaders lead them in this journey of discovery and learning. The 4H pledge is as follows: “I pledge my head to clearer thinking/ my heart to greater loyalty/my hands
to larger service/my health to better living/for my club, my community and my country.” The 4H program tries to build effective leaders, develop life skills, bring communities together and create opportunities for youth.

All plants, vegetables, flowers and trees are Canadian grown, so you are assured of quality that thrives in our local climate. At Canadian Tire Garden Centre, you will find a healthy assortment of vegetable plants, herbs and seeds to grow your own. Who can resist delicious fruit and vegetables picked fresh for your table?

And Canadian Tire Garden Centre is your source for great tasting, high producing small fruit plants and fruit trees. Need help? Your Canadian Tire Garden Centre staff has the knowledge and experience to help you get maximum results from your garden. They can help you choose the right annuals or perennials, and they can offer knowledgeable tips on planting, how to water plants, as well as all kinds of nursery products from one gallon to 15 gallon pots. Spring is the prime time to rid your yard of young weeds before they take root, and to mulch bare spots in beds. Your Canadian Tire Garden Centre has all types of soil, fertilizers, compost and mulch to make the most of your growing potential.
Weeds are easiest to pull now while roots are shallow. Mulch or ground cover will reduce new weed growth. Be sure to keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems to help reduce rot and protect the bark of young fruit trees. For best results, top dress your garden beds with compost or wellseasoned manure prior to planting. Try not to disturb established beds and they will have already established a complex soil ecosystem. Nutrients added on top will work their way down into the soil. If you take pride in keeping a healthy, green lawn, Nematodes are the biological way to get rid of grubs in soil. Green Earth Grub Busters Nematodes are a naturally occurring, microscopic worm that will safely attack root eating grubs in the larval stage. Nematodes are a natural and safe alternative to pesticides. Easy to use, simply mix and attach to your hose. Canadian Tire Garden Centre has fast growing seed varieties and effective fertilizers so you can grow a carpet of green lawn to last all summer long.

Walk-In Bathtubs – What you need to know!
Are they safer? First and foremost a walk-in bathtub can provide a senior with “safety”, greatly reducing the risk of falling while entering or exiting the bathtub. The side of a typical bathtub is 16 inches or more in height and 6 inches across, which can present a significant barrier to some people. As the ranks of seniors continue to grow, so do associated bathroom injuries. Some of the better walk-in tubs have a “slide-in” design, that is safer than the traditional walk-in tub. Are there any Health Benefits? A warm bath especially with warm air bubble jets can offer health benefits, which a shower cannot provide. This hydrotherapy can help with poor circulation by dilating blood vessels, while reducing inflammation and pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis and other conditions. Also it just plain feels good. Privacy & Convenience Walk-in bathtubs allow a senior to bathe in dignity, often without assistance, that might otherwise be necessary. It also spares them the necessity of sitting on an uncomfortable shower stool, while attempting to wash. Most of these tubs include a retractable shower wand. What about Installation? Although these tubs can be installed in most homes, it’s recommended that you use an experienced walk-in tub installer that does it for a living, rather than a regular plumber.
What can I expect to pay? Solutions start at around $2500 and can go as high as $15000 or more depending on what you want and whether or not installation is included. What about Warranties? Most manufacturers have what are called limited lifetime warranties that basically cover the tub itself. It’s best to have the installation done by the company you purchased the tub from, so that you are covered regardless of any issues concerning the manufacture or installation of the tub. Where can I buy one? You can buy walk-in tubs from a distributor right in your home or from one of the big box stores. The advantage of buying in home is that the representative can look at the bathroom where you want the tub installed to determine whether or not it can be done and what issues there may be. He/she will be able to answer all the questions right there on the spot. Big box stores will also sell you this product, often for less money, but generally carry imported products of lesser quality and you have to hire your own installer. In summary Walk-in bathtubs allow seniors to stay in their homes longer and can have many health benefits, providing pain relief from arthritis, fibromyalgia and stiff aching joints. Walk-in tubs can allow some seniors to bathe alone again not having to depend on others for help.

donated items will also go to benefit those in the community who are in need. All donations will be much appreciated.
The placement of these three donation bins in Richmond came as a result of efforts by the St. Philip’s Conference of the SSVP.

Frisky ducks in this year’s race Special to the News
Submitted
Richmond District Lions Club members Bruce Kinkade (left) and Dale Greene (right) get set to dump a container full of yellow rubber ducks off the McBean Street bridge into the Jock River below to begin the annual duck race on the Jock River sponsored by the Richmond District Lions Club.
Large Selection of Crabapple & Rhododendron in full bloom.
The rubber ducks in the annual duck race on the Jock River in Richmond this year were a frisky bunch. Even before the race had started, one of the rubber ducks, number 396 specifically, escaped from the storage container in which the ducks are stored between races and plunged into the river. There the little yellow rubber duck was, swimming down the Jock River all alone. A rescue was launched by the Richmond District Lions Club, sponsors of the race, with one of the two boats stationed at the finish line downstream from the McBean Street bridge start line called in to retrieve the escaped duck. Number 396 was placed back in the storage bin with his buddy ducks, all in time for the group launch. But this preliminary solo escape was just an indication of the mayhem which was to happen at the finish line, a red/blue/yellow boom stretched across the river downstream from the McBean Street bridge. Not only did the 700 rubber ducks in this annual Lions Club fundraiser on May 13 arrive at the finish line boom in record time, taking only four minutes to arrive en masse at the boom, but they did not stop there. A large number skirted the boom, carried by the swollen, fast flowing river
around the north end of the boom. This group then moved on down the river. The two Lions Club boats which usually retrieve the ducks as they pass through the small opening in the middle of the boom which is the official finish line for the race were then forced into action, trying to capture the ducks escaping downstream. While this was happening, most of the other ducks were against the boom, carried there by the current and wind. And then it happened — a hole developed in the boom and suddenly this whole flock of ducks swarmed through the breech and headed off downriver as well, leaving only a couple of yellow ducks left against the boom. It was an escape of massive proportions and meant lots of work for those in the two retrieval boats to recapture all of the escaped ducks, almost all of the 700 involved in the race. Since there would be no ducks passing through the finish line hole in the boom, the Lions Club acted quickly and determined that the winning ducks would be the three picked up by the retrieval boats farthest down the river. The other “winner” would be the duck farthest upstream which did not even make it to the finish line boom. The winning duck was number 203
which meant that Mark King, who purchased the $10 ticket for that duck, won the $700 first prize. The second prize of $500 went to Jeff Anderson for duck number 226 while the third place prize of $300 went to Brian Ayotte, backer of duck number 032. The consolation prize of $10 for the last duck in the race went to Dale Harvey for duck number 065. This was the tenth year for this annual yellow rubber duck race on the Jock River organized by the Richmond District Lions Club. Once again this year, it was sold out with all 700 tickets grabbed up. This year’s race set a record for the ducks to cover the distance from the McBean Street bridge to the finish line boom. The previous record had been set in 2014 when the winning duck had a time of seven minutes thanks to a swift current and following wind. Last year the flow of the river was much more leisurely and so were the race times as it took 19 minutes for the first duck to cross the finish line. For rubber duck race fans, another opportunity to support a Lions Club through a duck race will happen on Saturday, June 17 when the Almonte Lions Club will be holding a rubber duck race on the Mississippi River. Ticket information is available by emailing info@almontelionsclub.com.

I am new to West Ottawa. I moved here last fall to work for the West Ottawa Board of Trade and it is our mission to create a prosperous community in which businesses and individuals thrive. We do this by advocating for business, advancing economic development initiatives and providing business services such as networking, education, promotion and money saving programs. My work is very rewarding. It is exciting to see the growth and innovation happening in every sector of our community; economically and socially. Part of my role involves working with other economic stakeholders and business leaders to attract people to Ottawa to invest, work, study and visit. And one of the key decision criteria for each of these groups is whether Ottawa is a great place to live. Of course, the answer is yes! And the word is out! Ottawa is growing at a faster rate than Ontario and Canada as whole and by 2019 our population will reach one million! When we think about why Ottawa is such a fantastic place to live, the reason will be different for each of us. However, there are some obvious common threads including many cultural, social and economic opportunities. Certainly, there is some clout to being the capital of a G7 country and home to the embassies and high commissions of more than 130 of the world’s nations. We are rich in history and considered one of the most welcoming and diverse nations in the world. We host spectacular events featuring music, the arts and community pride. And everyone knows we have the best national hockey team in the world! We are surrounded by much natural beauty including hundreds of kilometers of trails for hiking, cycling and skiing. We have a high standard of living married with a low cost of living. We enjoy access to big city amenities in an environment that is safe and leading choice for raising families. Tonight, you can enjoy the culinary talents of top chefs and tomorrow, enjoy local produce from the farmer’s market. Today, you can work in the heart of the world’s economy and tonight, you can go to sleep in your quiet country home. Every choice is at your fingertips. We have one of the most highly educated workforces in Canada. We are home to four high performing major post-secondary institutions and account for 65% of the government’s research and development. We have Canada’s largest technology park with over 1,700 tech companies working on telecom, health and clean energy – some that are leading edge in the world. In 2017, we will attract 1.7 million additional visitors to Ottawa. We live in a community of dedicated and innovative leaders, volunteers and entrepreneurs working to ensure our global competitiveness and create quality of life for us all. When I think about the collection of things that make Ottawa a great place to live I realize I have actually experienced it living in West Ottawa. And what strikes me most is the concept of ‘having it all’ when you live here. You have the best of all worlds for work, for living and for leisure. If you love diversity and opportunity, then it is the perfect place to live. So we decided that we wanted to create a campaign highlighting the many wonderful aspects of West Ottawa Living. Details are coming soon! We hope you love it, that it will inspire a strong sense of community pride for you and that you will feel compelled to tell the story of why West Ottawa as the best place to live, work and play. Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | Executive Director West Ottawa Board of Trade | www.westottawabot.com The West Ottawa Board of Trade is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business association, independently driven and funded by business members. Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and individuals thrive through economic development and providing value added services. We are advocates. We are change makers.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
May 25, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville Appreciation Awards Recap Last week, the 9th Annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards were held at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Each year, I am thrilled to recognize our outstanding community volunteers for all that they do to make Stittsville what we are. For those of you who do not know, the Stittsville Appreciation Awards are an opportunity to shine some light on an individual or group within Stittsville that has helped to make a difference in our lives. Nominations are opened to the public in mid-late February and on the night of the Awards presentation, four recipients are recognized as: Business of the Year, Youth Citizen of the Year, Senior Citizen of the Year, and the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year in honour of an individual who best exemplifies community involvement and participation. I would like to thank all of this year’s nominees and recipients for taking the time to participate in this annual tradition and for sharing their stories of community building to inspire others. I would also like to thank Mayor Watson for taking the time to join us at the Awards, the nominators for taking the time to recognize these achievements, those in attendance, John Brummell for being our official photographer, Mia Hamer – our National Anthem singer, and my office team for their hard work in ensuring that the event was successful and enjoyable for all. This year’s nominees and recipients were: • Youth Citizen of the Year – Caitlin Bauer (winner), Shayna Douglas, Matt Smart, Sam Spriggs, Katie Xu, and Jack Fan • Senior Citizen of the Year – Patricia Warford (winner), and the Knotty Knitters • Business of the Year - The Stittsville Seniors’ Community by Revera (winner), Quitters Coffee, Rona, and U-Rock Music School • Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year – Barbara Bottriel (winner), Janice Leblanc, and Heather Strachan I am incredibly proud to bear witness to and honour our incredible community volunteers each year. Having events such as these is important to recognizing the small acts of kindness that truly make Stittsville a community. Although there are only four award recipients, we are all winners for benefitting from such loving and caring neighbours. Stittsville truly is the home of Champions. Thank you. Haliburton Park Plans A new park is being planned for the Fernbank Community in Stittsville. The park will be located on a 1.28Ha parcel of land at the corner of Haliburton Heights and Slapshot Way. The park features include an intermediate soccer field, puddle rink, small splash pad, and an accessible children’s playground with swings, sand play, and play structures for all age groups. Amenities also include a gazebo with picnic tables and benches. Please view the park concept plan and park images on my website at shadqadri.com. The detailed design and working drawings should be completed late spring/early summer 2017, with the tender of the project for mid-summer. The construction start-up will begin in the late summer 2017, with substantial completion late fall 2017 and the park will official open in the late spring/ early summer 2018. Zoning Application for 2499, 2500 Palladium Drive and 675 Autopark Private The City of Ottawa has received a Zoning By-law Amendment to remove the caps on gross floor area (GFA) that currently restrict the development of the subject properties. The subject sites are all are situated south of Highway 417, north of Maple Grove Road, west of Huntmar Road and east of Carp Road and the proposed North-South Arterial extension. The site at 2500 Palladium Drive contains the Palladium Autopark (11 existing units) and the other two properties are currently vacant. The vacant properties consist of periphery landscaping and surface parking on a gravel base. The three sites vary in size: 2499 Palladium Drive is 7.8 hectares; 2500 Palladium Drive is 21.6 hectares; and 675 Autopark Private is 1.52 hectares. The application has been submitted to remove the caps on the cumulative gross floor area of uses within the GM22 (H12) Zone – General Mixed Use Zone, Subzone 22, height limit of 12 meters. The proposed rezoning will remove the following development caps: 1. Automobile dealership use: maximum cumulative GFA of 21,135 m2; 2. Restaurant use: maximum cumulative GFA of 930 m2; 3. Farmer’s market use: combined maximum GFA and outdoor space of 3,720 m2; and 4. Bank and accessory uses to an automobile dealership: maximum cumulative GFA of 11,150 m2.

Proposed reform of Ontario Municipal Board By Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Councillors will have to get better at deal making if the package of reforms to the land use planning appeal system at the provincial level goes through, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. “We have to be more creative without the guillotine of the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) there to focus us,” he said. “Councillors won’t be able to vote against something they know will be overturned at the OMB just to get applause.” The proposed reform, announced
May 16, by Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, will be a more streamlined approach that lends a hand to residents and places more importance on planning decisions by the municipal government. The Ontario Municipal Board would be replaced with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The reform would also eliminate lengthy and costly “de novo” hearings for the majority of planning appeals. The term de novo describes the practice of considering land use appeals as though no decision had been made previously. Mayor Jim Watson, who was minis-
$400,000 legacy gift for Acute Care of the Elderly Unit At Queensway Carleton Hospital by Jessica Cunha jessica.cuinha@metroland.com
Fundraising for the Acute Care of the Elderly Unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital officially wrapped up with the announcement of a $400,000 legacy gift on May 15. The funds were donated by the estate of John Pestka. A longtime volunteer at the hospital, John ran the canteen near the hospital’s main entrance for many years before he passed away in 2015. “John and his wife Joan loved (the) QCH, the staff and the other volunteers, calling them a second family,” the hospital said in a news release. Pestka spent his final moments at the QCH surrounded by his friends and left a bequest in his will to leave a gift for the hospital. When the Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly Unit opened in
November 2016, the QCH Foundation said $400,000 was still needed to reach its $3-million campaign commitment. “John Pestka’s executor and friend Patricia Pepper made the call to donate the legacy gift on John and wife Joan Pestka’s behalf,” the hospital foundation said. “She worked with family and co-executors to cover the balance of the campaign through the estate, something everyone knew that John would have loved to do in life.” Pepper presented the cheque to the hospital’s foundation during a celebratory breakfast with 200 guests and campaign supporters at the Brookstreet Hotel on May 15. “It is a lovely story,” said Melanie Adams, president and CEO of the QCH Foundation, adding the event was a great way to celebrate and thank the unit’s donors and supporters.

ter of Housing and Municipal Affairs from 2007 to 2010, said reform of the process has been a long time coming. “When I was minister, I would sign official plans and often times before the ink was dry there’d be an appeal,” he said, adding that pretty much every “ask” the city had for the reform is included in the government's proposal. "One of the things is the effort on the part of the province is more density around transit oriented development, as a result of billions of dollars of investment,” Naqvi said. “Developments would be protected or shielded to protect density around those zones, as opposed to get into the kinds of disputes we often see at the OMB.” Sheila Perry, president of the Federation of Community Associations, said the change is a good-news story. “To make a challenge to the OMB is quite daunting,” she said. “You have to have a planner and a lawyer, which is no small expense for a community association.” While most people were in favour of the move to a tribunal system that’s less adversarial, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said he saw one red flag. The package of reforms includes a piece that would prohibit appeals of development within 500 metres of a major transit station. Transit-oriented development would essentially be insulated. Naqvi said that’s because transit receives investment from all levels of government and the province wants to ensure success by promoting intensification around transit centres. Without a revised community design plan for Kitchissippi, Leiper said he worries the area will become the “wild west.” The most recent example is the approval of a 22-storey building on Scott Street, at the former Trailhead site. “I know that the height in the current community design plan wasn’t going to go ahead, but we could have come up with something that is a better transition,” Leiper said. But overall, Leiper said, the changes will be good new for residents, and keep land use decisions in the hands of the people who have to live with the decisions. “There’s definitely more responsibility on the part of councillors to ensure good planning decisions,” he said.

Mary didn’t need lessons on how to pray
T
here I sat, as I did every Sunday, in the same pew, in the same row, in the same church. Only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away from the Lutheran Church in Northcote on a Sunday morning. And it was always an ordeal for me. Goodness knows, I tried my best to understand what the minister was talking about, but as usual, I had no idea what he was saying. His very voice sent chills up my spine. I couldn’t understand why. When he came to visit, I wasn’t the least bit frightened of him, but everything changed when he came swooping down past our pew leading the choir. Once the minister lumbered up to the pulpit, he paused, scanned the entire church, and I was absolutely sure when his eyes lit on me, he knew I was scared out of my wits. I wondered if my fright had something to do with his flowing robes, since my brother Emerson whose imagination was many notches above mine, said they reminded him of a huge black vulture getting ready to swoop down on us. His voice thundered through the church, and his face got redder and redder. But I had to pay attention, because soon he would send us children off to Sunday School. And the woman who taught us, it was rumoured, could recite the bible cover to cover, and she would be waiting for us, with her arms folded that she reminded me of a praying mantis. She would ask us what the message was from the minister. And of course, I would have no idea. I would purposely go into a coughing fit in the hope she would bypass me and go onto one of the other poor souls waiting to be grilled on what it meant to be a Christian. Thankfully the questions would end, and the teacher would begin the lesson, which had everything to do

MARY COOK Memories with being a better person. Well, praying was no ordeal for me. Not only did we say our prayers kneeling at Mother’s knee before we went to bed, I had long ago developed the habit of praying for just about anything I wanted, from new white ankle socks with lace around them, to praying for bad Marguirite to move to some foreign country. I even prayed my red hair would turn black, and that one morning I would wake up and every last freckle would have vanished through the night. And on she would go. And she al-
ways seemed to know when the last hymn was being sung upstairs, because she would tell us to bow our heads for the closing prayer. Each of us would be given a little folded piece of shiny paper with a story printed inside, and always there was a picture of Jesus on the front page, which I loved, and which was far different from the one hanging in the church upstairs. That day I was very quiet on the way home, as I tried to figure out why Sunday church was so different from the days when we went to church for the strawberry social, the Christmas concert, the pot-luck suppers, and the once-a-year lawn social when we ran races, played ball, and ate home-made ice
cream. And I decided, maybe I wasn’t a very nice person. Maybe no amount of praying would make me any better. And even though I had no idea what Father meant when he said it, but I wondered if that was my fate. When someone did something just a bit off centre, or the news in the paper was doom and gloom, he would say, “the world is going straight to Hell in a basket.” I wondered. Would that too be my fate?

June is always a busy month in Rideau-Goubourn and across the City of Ottawa, with events such as Food Aid Day and the Mayor’s Rural Expo as well as Dickinson Days. Of course, there are Ottawa 2017 events and it all leads up to July 1st where Canada Day events will be taking place in North Gower and Munster. To kick off the month, there is nothing more exciting than a rousing meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee! Our upcoming June 1st meeting agenda includes the following items: • Surplus Farm Severance Zoning Amendments for: o 2638 Mackey Road o 4779 Carp Road o 6462 First Line Road • Report on Coach Houses in the Rural area on private services • Manotick Mahogany Harbour Dock Project • Rural Residential Land Survey: 2015-16 Update • Hobbs Municipal Drain • All-Way Stop Control at Van Vliet Road & South River Drive • 1229 Dwyer Hill Road Development Charge Report The report on coach houses in the rural area is the response to a direction that had been given by ARAC in the fall. Staff were asked to look at ways of reducing costs and process on building a coach house on private services in the rural area. The proposal before ARAC on June 1st does that. However, I feel more could be done and Committee will explore those options at the meeting. The report on the Mahogany Harbour Dock will provide an update on the status of this project and speak to the temporary Parks Canada facility being installed this season. It will also lay out the City’s role going forward from an ongoing maintenance perspective. The report on 1229 Dwyer Hill Road relates to the Dwyer Hill RV Park and the potential sale of the property. This report looks at waiving a portion of the Development Charges owed to the City of Ottawa by the current park owners. The waiver is only available to a potential purchaser and not the current owner. As usual, the monthly ARAC meeting is held at 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe. UPDATE: Munster Sewer Backup On April 7th, 2017, amidst heavy rainfall and runoff occurring during the spring freshet, the City of Ottawa received eight calls from Munster residents who were experience sewage backups in their basement. Seven of these calls came from the southeast portion of Munster, on Middlewood Court and nearby Dogwood Drive homeowners. At that time, the pumping station became surcharged with stormwater and crews were quick to respond to alleviate the surcharge. Unfortunately, during this time, several homeowners closest to the pumping station saw backups. After some investigation, it was determined that the pumping station reached capacity due to the existence of sump pumps connected to the system. Since the backup occurred in early April, bypass pumping into the overflow lagoon at the Munster pumping station was activated earlier during rainy periods in early May to reduce the risk of basement flooding. The connection of sump pumps to sanitary sewers also caused capacity issues in Richmond during that same time in April. As a result, I will be working with City staff on developing a program that will seek to encourage the disconnection of sump pumps from the sanitary system. In the meantime, the City will continue to initiate the bypass measures earlier than done previously. As homeowners, there are options to protect your home against flooding as well. There is information on the City of Ottawa’s website regarding the Residential Protective Plumbing Program. If you did experience flooding as a result of the pumping station backup, you can also file a claim with the City of Ottawa. For more information on the protection program or on how to file a claim, please feel free to contact me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca. If you have any other comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me on those as well or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Public Hero Awards to six first responders by jessica cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
On the same day that a private member’s bill to create a national framework for first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder passed committee at second reading, six first responders from Ottawa and the Valley were recognized as public heroes. An Ottawa police staff sergeant, Ottawa paramedic, Ontario correctional services officer, Renfrew OPP constable, and two Ottawa firefighters were recognized for their dedication, altruism, and community involvement at a ceremony on May 18 at the Intercultural Dialogue Institute in Kanata. “We have heroes that walk among us every day,” B.C.’s Cariboo-Prince George MP Todd Doherty told the crowd. “They run toward danger … so that you and I and our families can sleep soundly.” Earlier that afternoon, Doherty’s private member’s bill C-211 was passed through standing committee. “We are well on our way to developing a national framework with respect to PTSD for our first responders, our military, our veterans, so that a hero in the east receives the same care and treatment that a hero in the west (receives) and that we do not unnecessarily lose any more lives,” the Conservative MP told the crowd.
40 Stittsville News - Thursday, May 25, 2017
The Public Hero Awards are presented to recognize and honour the outstanding service provided by first responders in culturally diverse environments, as well as their volunteer efforts in their communities. Recipients are nominated by colleagues, peers, and members of the community. Top police, paramedic, and fire officials presented the awards. Six first responders from Ottawa and the Valley received a Public Hero Award. OTTAWA POLICE Ottawa police Staff Sgt. David Zackrias, who heads up the diversity and race relations section, spends much of his free time volunteering with a number of organizations. “(He) is passionate about building strong intercommunity relationships, whether he’s on or off the job,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau. Orléans resident Zackrias, who received a Peace Award from the Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution in 2016, sits on the boards for the Centretown Community Health and Ottawa Inuit Children’s centres, and volunteers as a conflict coach with Community Mediation Ottawa. The 19-year Toronto and Ottawa police veteran immigrated to Canada with his family 30 years ago from India. “Imagine, a 15-year-old immigrant
who came to Canada 30 years ago, who lived in emergency housing right beside a police station at the YMCA, and all he could do was dream to one day be in that uniform,” Zackrias said. “Those types of dreams only happen in Canada. “There are many unsung heroes within my organization that work tirelessly to build peace. We can’t all be here, but I'm going to dedicate this award to them.” OTTAWA PARAMEDIC Robert Wilson has been an advanced-care paramedic for more than 23 years. The Stittsville resident works as an educator with the Paramedic Program of Eastern Ontario, teaches advanced care paramedicine at Algonquin College as well as first aid and CPR classes, and for the past 10 years has focused on the education of children and youth. “(Wilson) has created curriculumspecific presentations … related to health-based issues,” said deputy paramedic Chief Jeremy Doherty. “His current focus is on the opioid crisis facing Ottawa’s youth and educating them with proper facts about these drugs.” Wilson said he was grateful to be recognized. “In our job, we deal with so many tragedies with youth and injury,” he said. “If I can through my public edu-
cation and the education I provide to them reduce or save one life, my job is complete.” OPP Renfrew OPP Const. Tina Hunt has been a tireless advocate, fundraiser, and volunteer in her community. The Horton Township resident “makes getting involved in her community a priority,” said Insp. Colin Slight, detachment commander for Renfrew. “From a young age, she has been involved with community volunteer work and continues to do so as much as her policing schedule will allow.” Hunt is the OPP auxiliary liaison officer, teaches the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in schools, raises thousands of dollars for multiple organizations, coaches sports teams, is a wife and mother of four children, and sits on the Township Recreation committee in Horton. “I truly love being involved in my community and the events that I host or assist with. When we talk about youth, youth really are our people of tomorrow, they're the ones that are going to make a difference,” she said. “If we can teach them at a young age to get out there and get involved and make a difference, then they’ll continue on with that in their future.” CORRECTIONAL SERVICES Greely and Westport resident Bill
McCafferty, an officer at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, founded the Christmas for Kids fundraiser five years ago. The program supports local families going through hardships and struggling during the holidays. He’s rallied the staff and management at the detention centre every year and collected thousands of dollars in gift cards for Christmas dinners and gifts for children. “Last year, they did fantastic and were able to help roughly 110 families and over 200 kids,” said Dave Ralph, IDI Public Heroes Awards co-ordinator and retired Toronto paramedic commander. McCafferty said the success of the program is thanks to his colleagues. “It is a big family and I'm just one person. Without their help, we wouldn’t be able to do what we did last year, the previous five years,” he said. OTTAWA FIRE There was a tie for the winner in the Ottawa firefighter category. Both Kendra Shaw, a non-uniform staff member, and firefighter Brenda Tirrel were recognized for their service. “I like to say they're heroes because these are individuals that inspire us and make us a better organization,” said deputy fire chief Sean Tracey.

Shaw, a Beckwith Township resident, on top of her regular duties has coached youth hockey, assisted at referee development camps, volunteers on the 9 Run Run committee, completed international Habitat for Humanity builds, is an avid blood donor (who also promotes the cause), and is an advocate and camp counsellor for Camp BUCKO, a children’s burn survivor camp. Stittsville resident and volunteer firefighter Brenda Tirrell, acting lieutenant at Station 81, is the founder of the 9 Run Run event, which raises funds and awareness for mental health. “Since its inception, 9 Run Run has raised over $130,000 for youth in the community,” said Doherty. Tirrell, who recently received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, is also the public education co-ordinator for District 8 and the “driving force” behind the FireSmart program, he said. And in June 2016, four months after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing surgery and 16 rounds of radiation, Tirrell completed the Tremblant Half Ironman competition. “It’s not how hard you fall down or how often but who’s there when you need a hand that really matters,” Tirrell said. “I believe I get to do what I do because of who is out there helping when I’m down.” Three other first responders were recognized with a plaque for their service: Ottawa paramedics Normand Robillard and Joe Micucci, and Hamid Mousa of Ottawa police. The Intercultural Dialogue Institute hosts these awards.

‘The Hockey Song’ ends Ladies Chorus’ spring concert Special to the News
It was an ending fit for an Ottawa Senators’ Stanley Cup victory. With director Robert Dueck wearing an Ottawa Senators jersey and the chorus members waving white towels just like would happen at the Canadian Tire Centre, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus concluded its recent spring concert with an energetic performance of The Hockey Song, a tune that is now played at NHL games throughout Canada and the United States. The Hockey Song was written and originally performed by Canadian icon Stompin’ Tom Connors. It was first released on his 1973 album Stompin’ Tom and The Hockey Song. However, the song did not begin to reach the widespread popularity that it enjoys today until 1992 when it was first played at Ottawa Senators games. Just like it is in NHL arenas today, the song was a hit for the capacity audience at the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ spring concert on May 13 at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. The concert delivered by the 40 voices of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, entitled From Sea to Sea to Sea — Celebrating Canadian Music, featured songs reflective of Canada’s weather and landscape as well as tragedy and, of course, hockey.
This Ontario 150 sponsored event included songs such as: Canadian Boat Song; Innusivut; Four Strong Winds; Patrons, la mer est belle!; Cape Breton Lullaby; and more. Peter Brown, who accompanies the Ladies Chorus on the piano, wowed the audience with his piano performance of Oscar Peterson’s Laurentide Waltz from his Canadiana Suite. The 30-voice Town Singers, a community choir from Carleton Place, were the guests of the Ladies Chorus at this concert, entertaining the audience with the Black Fly Song, a classic Canadian folksong about being tormented by black flies while working in the wilds of Northern Ontario. Members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus are as follows: 1st soprano: Barb Sommerville, Beth Ronaghan, Carolyn Thompson, Debbie Kaye, Debbie Trouten, Denise Benner, Ingrid Gemmell, Liz Mevel, Marlene van Hasselt-Gorski, Molly O’Connor, Nancy Hayley, Penny Annand, Sharon Holzscherer and Una Ferguson; 2nd soprano: Barbara Bottriell, Carolyn Beeton, Irene Moore, Jane Yu, Joanne Jackson, Katie Trouten, Linda Noble, Micheline Bouchard, Nancy MacDonald, Shelly McLeod, Taisia Smellie and Vivian Latulippe; 1st alto: Bev Armbruster, Kathy Panagapko, Kelly Lawson, Maxine
Mercer, Ruth Chmara, Sheri Williams and Vivian McLean; 2nd alto: Dianne Lydall, Gwen Cairns, Janet Buske-Wisher, Joan Ford, Monique T. Bruhn, Sharon Neill and Wendy Sauve.
Maxine Mercer is chair of the executive of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus while Una Ferguson is the vicechair. Debbie Kaye is the treasurer and Nancy MacDonald the secretary. Molly O’Connor looks after publicity
while Bev Armbruster is in charge of events. Anyone interested in singing with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus should contact music director Robert Dueck at LadiesChorus@bell.net.

Garage sale raises $4,000 for Richmond’s 2018 celebrations Special to the news
It all started when Cydney Green, chair of the organizing committee for Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations next year, simply suggested “we should hold a garage sale as a fundraiser”. Following that suggestion, the din-
ing hall at the Richmond fairgrounds was booked for May 12 to 14 as part of the annual villagewide garage sale Saturday, May 13. This was followed by a call to the community for donations. The request was heard loud and clear as load after load of donations started rolling in.
Then a team of organizing committee members and volunteers rolled up their sleeves and undertook the task of filtering through the hundreds of bags and boxes of donated items, organizing the items into various categories. These included kitchenware, toys,

books, clothing, linens, pictures, tools, furniture, lighting, Christmas decor, sports, electronics and more. The doors were open to the public at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 12, with bargain seekers arriving steadily. They kept rolling into the hall all day Saturday as well as Sunday morning. Hundreds of shoppers including families, seniors, friends and neighbours crowded the narrow passageways between the items on display, touching and assessing the assorted items that were treasures to some. There was free coffee and cake to en-
joy as well. When it was all over, $4,000 was raised for the village’s 2018 celebrations. Most of the items which remained after this garage sale were sent to a local not-for-profit furniture bank. Several Christmas, household goods and some clothing was also donated to the Syrian refugee family now living in Richmond. Thanks are extended to Richmond’s Royal Lepage office for sponsoring this garage sale and covering all of its associated costs.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes
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 Prove yourself with actions instead of words, Aries. Your productivity will not speak for itself, so you may need to do some self-promotion to get the word out.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you know what needs to get done. Now it is just a matter of finding the time to accomplish everything. Simplify things by writing all of your tasks down.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Explaining a proposal may require some creative thinking, Sagittarius. Make a list of all the talking points and then narrow down your options this week.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words will carry a lot of weight when you speak about a topic that is dear to your heart. Others might be inspired by your message, and you can recruit helpers.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You may have to explain your point of view over and over again before others see your way of thinking, Virgo. Don’t let this discourage you this week.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you tend to hold yourself to a very high standard because you always want to do your best the first time out of the gate. Others appreciate your dedication.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do not get caught up in gossip and hearsay, Gemini. That can compromise your credibility at work and among friends. Stay focused on your responsibilities.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, once you are knee-deep in a project, you may not need to take frequent breaks. You’re ready to plow through to the finish line and reap the rewards of hard work.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, sometimes it seems as if you have a sixth sense, especially where finding good deals are concerned. You’re happy to be the shopper of the family.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 While you shouldn’t compare yourself to others too often, once in a while it can illustrate just how far you have come. Why not compare against the person you once were?
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, no matter which words come out of your mouth, others are compelled to listen when you speak. Recognize the impact your words can have on others.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, extreme focus on a subject can be a help or a hindrance. Remember to remain flexible in the next few days.

While some banks and mortgage companies require that their clients retain a lawyer to finalize mortgage refinancing transactions, it is now very common that some lending institutions would either finalize it themselves or use mortgage processing companies. Nevertheless, most lenders would still give you an option of retaining your own lawyer to finalize the transaction. Benefits of using a lawyer. Your lawyer will help you to review and understand complex mortgage documents, such as the registered charge on title to your property, mortgage disclosure statement and standard mortgage terms, and will explain to you your rights and obligations under the mortgage.

been paid off many years ago, but have never been discharged by the bank. Your lawyer will also go through with you, the mortgage discharge statement to ensure that the payout amount to discharge your old mortgage is correct. Finally, your lawyer will make sure that the terms on the mortgage registered on title are the same terms you have negotiated with your lender. It is not rare that long after getting a mortgage some people discover that the amount of a mortgage registered on title is much higher than the actual amount of the mortgage they received from the lender. This negatively affects their chance of getting a second mortgage or adding a secured line of credit from a different lender. Are you buying or selling your home this summer?
