Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is calling on residents of the community to make their voices heard as consultations continue into the route that light rail transit (LRT) will take into the western suburbs following an information meeting into LRT earlier this month. The city is now studying possible routes between Moodie Drive — the western terminus of light rail as of 2023 — and the Palladium Drive area. City staff and consultants have looked at 13 potential lines, and held an open house on June 5 to explain why three of those routes are the preferred options for further study. The three routes which are the preferred options are: • the most direct: running just north of Highway 417 to Palladium (known as Corridor 8). • a northern route: from the Eagleson park-and-ride area, north along March Road before turning west and south to follow Terry Fox Drive to Palladium.

Councillor supporting proposed first option Continued from page 1
• a southern route: south on Moodie, then southwest along the old rail bed that is now part of the Trans-Canada Trail. The line would pass Bridlewood and Glen Cairn, then leave the trail near Fernbank and Iber roads, and then head north to Palladium. Qadri, who attended the June 5 LRT open house, is, at this point, firmly supporting the first option running just north of Highway 417 to Palladium (known as Corridor 8), as he thinks that is the route that makes most sense for residents in Stittsville. “Right now it is important that residents provide their comments by June 23. It is important that Stittsville residents are heard. If you support Corridor 8 and think the terminus should be south of Pallidum to provide a greater connection to Stittsville or have other ideas, please send them to the city,” Qadri said. One option being considered would provide service to the Kanata North area where the city’s high tech companies are clustered, but Qadri thinks that option would be the least beneficial to transit commuters in Stittsville in the future. “Service to Kanata North does assist by providing access to the employment area in Kanata North, but I feel this corridor provides little benefit to Stittsville residents,” Qadri said. “I feel this creates a missed opportunity as the Terry Fox Park and Ride would not be utilized and the corridor has greater negative impacts as well including natural environment impact, complexity, and capital and operational costs,” he said. Staff at the open house said branch lines are a possibility — allowing more than one of the three options to be constructed — although that would significantly increase costs while reducing frequency of service. As well, the future western end of light rail is also subject to change. A consultant at the meeting said the Canadian Tire Centre is a major destination for travellers today, but that could change when the Ottawa Senators make an expected move to LeBreton Flats in the years ahead. “There’s certainly a big question mark about the Canadian Tire Cen-
tre,” said Parsons Inc. consultant Peter Steacy. By the end of 2017, city staff will compile public input and consider if Palladium Drive should be the western terminus. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the direct route for rail from Moodie makes the most sense. “Clearly the best route is straight up the hill,” he said of the potential to run rail along the northern edge of Highway 417. He said he’d like to see light rail serve both Kanata residents headed downtown and people headed to the north Kanata business parks, an option that would likely require a branch to the north. “It shouldn’t be an either-or question,” Hubley said of future light rail service to the northern and southern parts of Kanata. If only the direct Moodie-Palladium line is constructed, city staff indicated March Road is expected to have bus rapid transit that links riders to a light rail station. During a question-and-answer session at the public meeting, members of the public expressed support for the plans on display while suggesting some tweaks. Two speakers suggested that if the Canadian Tire Centre is not needed as the terminus, the route should end closer to Hazeldean Road, where population densities are higher. Another man said the city should consider which routes would reduce carbon emissions the most, and show preference for those options. As of 2023, light rail is expected to reach Moodie Drive. There are still questions about where a Moodie station will be located, or if the NCC will allow a rail maintenance yard and/or parking space on Greenbelt land in the area. There is no funding for the Kanata-|Stittsville plans yet, but the city hopes provincial and federal governments will share the costs of a western extension, which could begin construction any time after 2023.

100 years of Lionism celebrated at Stittsville flag raising BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
The pride of having put in years of service to the community was on full display on June 7 when the Stittsville Lions, numerous dignitaries and community well-wishers gathered at the Lions’ headquarters on Main Street in Stittsville as the organization celebrated Lionism’s centennial with a special flag raising event. A large crowd formed in front of the Lions’ den on Stittsville Main St. for the ceremony, which included well wishes from Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who also passed along a special commemorative statement from Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who was unable to attend the event, and from federal Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre, who represents the area that the Stittsville Lions serve. The event culminated with a special ceremony when two local Delta troop, 1st Stittsville scouts, Hunter Smith and James Dormer, helped raise a special Lions 100th anniversary flag. “The work that the Lions do in the community can not be overestimated,” Coun. Shad Qadri said. “They are always there for our community, and are always there to help people as needed.” It was a sentiment that Poiliviere echoed, after he praised Lions organizations in general for all the work they do since first being formed 100 years ago. “It is all about people helping other people, and that is something to truly be proud of,” he said. According to the Lions Club International website, “Lions around the world have been changing lives for 100 years through humanitarian service. Our centennial celebration is a time to mark this milestone, celebrate our legacy and look forward
to the next century of service.” Lions Clubs International is an international secular, nonpolitical service organization founded by Melvin Jones in 1917. It has more than 46,000 local clubs and more than 1.4 million members in in more than 200 countries around the world. When Jones, a businessman from Chicago in the United
States, first formed the club, his personal code was, “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else.” The Lions motto is “We Serve.” Lions Club programs include sight conservation, hearing and speech conservation, diabetes awareness, youth outreach, including in Stittsville numerous bursuaries for
students going on to higher education opportunities, international relations, environmental issues, and many other programs. And as was pointed out at the ceremony in Stittsville, the discussion of politics and religion is forbidden. For the local Lions club, which started in 1964, this 100th anniversary
comes soon on the heels of the death of Ernie Moore, a founding member of the Stittsville District Lions Club and its charter president. Horace H. “Ernie” Moore died in hospital in Perth on May 21. Following the flag raising ceremony, a community barbeque was held in front of the Stittsville Lions’ building.

Gateway to Fernbank lands takes its place BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
A gateway sign into the Fernbank community is now in place. The sign at the corner of Robert Grant Avenue and Fernbank Road comes out of the Fernbank Community Design Plan, which was as approved by city council back in 2010. However, some Stittsville residents are wondering why the sign doesn’t say Fernbank Crossing, a situation which
Two Stittsville properties going before Committee of Adjustment BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
A couple of Stittsville properties, one tied into a retirement residence, will be before the city’s committee of adjustment this month when the committee meets in Nepean at Ben Franklin Place. One of the properties involved seeks to subdivide the Wellings of Stittsville development for mixed use development. An application for 5731 Hazeldean Road for the Wellings of Stittsville development would subdivide the property into two separate parcels of land in order to create two new lots for a mixed use development. The idea is to allow for four buildings - two, two-storey commercial buildings, a four-storey residential care facility and a five-storey retirement home at the location.
The other Stittsville property going forward at the committee meeting involves a much smaller change for 28 Turtleback. The application for 28 Turtleback, which was formerly called Meadowlands would subdivide the property into two separate parcels to create a new residential lot for future development. If the severance is approved a minor variance to permit a reduced lot width for the new parcel of land would be needed because the proposed parcel will not conform with the requirements of the existing zoning bylaw for the site. Those who wish to attend the meeting, which will be on Wednesday, June 21, starting at 9 a.m. at Ben Franklin Place, in the chamber on the main floor at 101 Centrepointe Dr., can do so as the meeting is open to the public.

new names coming forward for developments in the Fernbank lands area south of Hazeldean Road. “The sign is referred to as a “Community Gateway” in the Fernbank CDP for which there are two planned in the community, the other will be located at Hazeldean Road and Robert Grant Avenue in the future. “These gateways are being funded as part of the Robert Grant Avenue road construction project, and as a result are city funded and are required to reflect the name of the entire community,” Qadri says. “The remainder of the planned gateways are identified as ‘neighbourhood gateways’ and are funded by the individual developers for their own subdivisions.” An example of neighbourhood gateways is the Blackstone gateway located at Westphalian and Terry Fox drives. “There are many of these located throughout the individual neighbourhoods that make up the Fernbank community and it is up to the discretion of the developer to construct such signage,” according to Qadri.

the local councillor concedes has confused some of his constituents. “In the present scenario this may lead to some confusion as some residents in the area assume this signage is for the Fernbank Crossing subdivision and have noted it is odd it says Fernbank Stittsville and not Fernbank Crossing,” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri says. When the plan for the sign was developed, Fernbank referred to an area, not a specific development subdivision. “This Fernbank CDP was a lengthy process of master planning for the entire Fernbank community located between Stittsville and Kanata and I know many residents in Stittsville were involved in this process and attended the workshops to assist in designing this community,” Qadri says. “The process of developing the CDP included extensive public consultation, and the title given to the community at the time was ‘Fernbank’,” he says, adding that since then many developers have developed their own marketing names for individual subdivisions within the area, and there are

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
We’re still open for business The last two years have seen political upheaval of a nature not seen in nearly one hundred years. Voters everywhere roundly rejected the “business as usual” attitude of elites in all mainstream parties. Most feel they are unrepresented and that their concerns go unheeded by people who take their support for granted. From the global level to the local, change is everywhere. But for me very little has changed. I am still committed to representing my constituents and working tirelessly for their interests. Being free from the rigidity of a party that I didn’t agree with is the only major change in my life. This will only allow more transparency, honesty and more direct democracy. It should come as no surprise that I have been exceedingly frustrated with the partisan bickering and whipped votes found in all the major parties. I can now speak freely about issues that concern my constituents and let only sound judgement and conscience guide my policy and actions from here on out. We’re still open for business!

Intimidation won’t silence media
A
group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton, Ont., seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.” This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals
with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Ultimately this is about control. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: media will not be intimidated by these thinly disguised bullying tactics. EDITOR’S NOTE: This editorial has been shared by the Brampton Guardian and is running in all Metroland East newspapers.
Former U.S. embassy building should be put to good use
I
f you’ve lived in Ottawa for a long time, you will have a predictable reaction to reports that something will finally happen at the old U.S. Embassy on Wellington Street. About time, you will say. Indeed. That’s a beautiful building and it is a shame that it has sat empty and unused so long. By the time something is put there it will have been at least 20 years since it was last occupied. It has been neglected for so many years that you would think it was on LeBreton Flats. One of the benefits of finding a use for the former embassy is that it will bring another historical attraction to what used to be known as Confederation Boulevard, another attraction to walk to. Ottawa, as we know, has many fine museums and other structures, including the Parliament Buildings,
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town reflecting our history and culture. They are spread out a bit — from the War Museum in LeBreton Flats, to the Museum of History in Gatineau (with side trips to the Museum of Nature down O’Connor Street and the Science Museum on St. Laurent). What we’ve always needed is something resembling Washington’s National Mall — that walkable collection of museums and historical buildings stretching from the Lincoln Monument to Capitol Hill. Adding another attraction across the street from Parliament Hill will help. You might also welcome reports
that the former U.S. embassy building will become a centre for indigenous peoples. That’s a good use. In a day when there is an intense and overdue focus on Canada’s indigenous peoples and culture, it is fitting that a prominent place be given to that. The Canadian Press report on the government’s plans for the building notes that consultations are underway with indigenous communities on the best possible uses of the space. Do they even want it? It would be interesting to listen in on those consultations. You wonder, for example, if indigenous communities, while grateful for the offer, might wonder what a 1930s Beaux-Arts style building historically associated with the government of the United States has to do with them. You could imagine somebody asking the government whether it might, since it is committed to indigenous

culture, put up a building that reflects that on the outside as well as the inside. Something by Douglas Cardinal, say, rather than an American architect born in the 19th century. The beauty of the now-familiar portrait gallery proposal is that it doesn’t much matter what a portrait gallery looks like from the street. So the embassy site is fine for that. But the portrait gallery idea may have passed its best-before date. It has been kicking around since 2001 and nothing has been done. You can blame politics for that — the idea having been started by Jean Chrétien and ended by Stephen Harper — but it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Canada would have a national portrait gallery by now if there had been public enthusiasm for it. Which is not to say that there shouldn’t be a portrait gallery someEDITORIAL: 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
where near the Hill. And it’s fair to say that most people in our city would welcome just about anything to the former U.S. embassy site, just have to have it done with. Well, maybe not an aquarium.

Father’s Day Flashback at Goulbourn Museum Special to the News
Traditional Irish music, sword fighting, and musket shooting. Add in some historical re-enactors plus a static archery display, a cooking display, calligraphy sampling, a photo booth, and a silent auction. And, oh yes, the Potato Olympics, and you have a most intriguing and interesting Father’s Day Flashback event at the Goulbourn Museum. It’s all happening on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the site of the Goulbourn Museum at 2064 Huntley Rd. at Stanley’s Corners. This year’s annual event is being called “Father’s Day Flashback — Ireland’s Own”, designed to be a cel-
ebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation and a chance to experience life as it was for Goulbourn’s early Irish settlers. Irish entertainment will be provided by Celtic Sea, a four-member band that has been around since 2007 and even before that under a different name. Current members of Celtic Sea are Peter Hyduk on guitar, bass, and vocals; Alan Burgess on guitar, bass, tin whistle, and vocals; Hedra Pink on fiddle, ukulele, and vocals; and Philip Labossiere on mandolin, bodhran, drums, and vocals. There will be demonstrations in rapier and knightly combat (sword fighting) as well as members of the 100th Regiment of Foot who will be on-site delivering a handson history experience. This will be the first time that such

Everyone in the community is welcome. Fun darts for the summer are now underway on Thursdays at 7 p.m. at the Legion Hall. These fun darts are open to everyone. Come out and enjoy an evening of fun playing darts. Come and enjoy Friday night barbecues from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. These are open to everyone.

Everyone in the community is welcome to attend.
an experience has been offered in the Ottawa area, providing an opportunity to load and fire a flintlock musket. “While musket demonstrations are fun to watch, it’s an even better experience to load and fire a Brown Bess flintlock musket yourself,” says William Sinka who is president of the 100th Regiment Historical Society. “Feeling the recoil against your shoulder, the flash of the powder, and the bang at your ear — for a moment, you’ll feel like a soldier from two centuries ago,” he adds. Cost will be just $20 for three rounds of shooting and a training session. Sinka notes that this musket shooting experience would be a great and unexpected Father’s Day gift for any dad. This Father’s Day Flashback will also include a static archery display as well as a cooking display by The Barony of Skraeling Althing. Visitors will also be able to try their hand at calligraphy with help from those from the Calligraphy Society of Ottawa. You will be able to pose in an 1867 photo booth and bid on a variety of silent auction items.
Lunch will be available for purchase from Stittsville’s Crispy Spring Roll food truck and sweet treats will be available from the 1st Europe 2019 Travel Group which involves a number of local Girl Guides who are selling baked goods to raise funds for an overseas trip. And make sure you make time to play Potato Olympics, an Irish-inspired game developed by Goulbourn Museum staff just for this Father’s Day Flashback event. But there’s still more! Visitors to the event will be able to explore the Goulbourn Museum’s new heritage garden and nature walk. It’s also an opportunity to leave your mark for future generations by taking part in the museum’s legacy 150th pathway. “Father’s Day Flashback is a chance to connect with the culture of the community’s past,” says Goulbourn Museum’s acting curator/manager Tracey Donaldson. “Admission is free and everyone is welcome.” The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Rd. at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

No reservations are required. *There’s going to be a flag raising and new sign unveiling ceremony at the Welcome to Stittsville sign at the corner of Stittsville
Main Street and Hazeldean Road and everyone is invited to attend. It’s all happening on Saturday, June 24 at 1 p.m. when a new 40foot flagpole at the site will be inaugurated to mark Canada’s 150th birthday and a new bilingual Welcome to Stittsville sign will be unveiled. An RCMP officer will be in attendance at the ceremony to add an iconic Canadian touch to the event. In addition, another Canadian icon, BeaverTail pastries, will be provided free to all those in attendance thanks to Beavertails Ottawa which is supporting the event. This has all come about thanks to a private-public partnership involving the developers of the Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence, the Kavanagh family of the former Stittsville Flea Market and the city of Ottawa.

The play is being presented in various community across the city in both July and August but not in Stittsville this year. It had been held in Alexander Grove park in previous years. *The Ottawa Bicycle Club held its 46th annual Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour from Ottawa to Kingston and back over the two days of last weekend, Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11. One of the four routes that cyclists could take on the tour saw cyclists travel along Flewellyn Road, passing through Stanley’s Corners on the way to Ashton on Saturday and then returning to Ottawa via Flewellyn Road on Sunday. For a while on Sunday afternoon, police were stationed at the Stanley’s Corners intersection to help the cyclists get through the intersection safely.
Around Stittsville *You can help the Main Street Community Services in Stittsville move closer to acquire its own larger facility, relocating from its current rented premises on the second floor at the Frederick Banting Alternate Program site on Stittsville Main Street. It’s called The Great Canadian Giving Challenge which could result in Main Street Community Services winning $10,000 which could be used toward its longtime campaign to find a “Place of Our Own.” Here’s how it works” for every dollar donated to your chosen charity in June via GivingChallenge.ca or CanadaHelps.org, an automatic entry is received by the charity for a chance to win the $10,000 donation. This Challenge program began on June 1 and runs until June 30 at midnight. The grand prize draw for the $10,000 donation will happen on Canada Day. Only donations made on GivingChallenge.ca or through the CandaHelps.org website provide an entry for the grand prize. A minimum donation of $3 is required. So, if you go to one of these two websites and make a donation to Main Street Community Services, you will also be providing Main Street Community Services with a chance at the $10,000 grand prize, funds that will prove invaluable as Main Street Community Services looks for a new, larger home where it can provide its programs and

The Stittsville Walk townhouse development on Stittsville Main Street is holding its grand official opening this Saturday, June 17.
Grand opening for Stittsville Walk It’s a fledgling community within a beloved part of Stittsville and it’s now holding its official grand opening. The Stittsville Walk on Main townhome development on Stittsville Main Street is holding an official grand opening this Saturday, June 17. This Stittsville Walk on Main offers something that doesn’t come along every day; the chance to live in a new home on a genuine Main Street in a heritage downtown. Those familiar with downtown Stittsville recognize its charm. It’s a neighbourhood with century buildings, mature trees and the kind of community spirit that’s built up over generations. To be located at the heart of this town is to be able to walk to shopping, restaurants, parks and appointments, while feeling like a part of something larger than yourself. Building homes in a locale like this requires an understanding of the fabric of a community as revealed in a sensitivity when it comes to building materials and design. Byrex Developments made it a mission to create homes that honour the surrounding villagelike atmosphere, incorporating brick, stone and siding facades, complete with private balconies and terraces and schoolhouse-style windows. The light-filled interiors are well-designed, with open main floor layouts and nine-foot
ceilings that amplify the sense of spaciousness. High-end appointments — including hardwood stairs, quartz countertops, Smart wiring and pot lights — can make the price point, beginning at $317,900, hard to believe. This townhome enclave encompasses 26 executive town and carriage homes in this initial phase, with buyers able to select from a diverse range of floor plans. Each home comes with two-car parking, including a garage with access through to rear yards. With year-round maintained landscaping and driveway snow removal, residents will be able to enjoy their immediate surroundings without a second thought. Stittsville Walk occupies a location that is balanced between the excitement of urban life and the centering presence of the great outdoors. Residents will be are just a short drive to downtown Ottawa and even closer to nature. Stittsville’s trail system connects with the Trans Canada Trail, ideal for walking, biking, crosscountry skiing and birding. There’s also snowmobiling, skating and playing a round at the nearby Amberwood Golf and Country Club. Byrex Developments president Sampat Poddar has expressed gratitude to Stittsville’s residents, city council members, city staff and the Byrex team for their contributions to the project.

Stittsville’s Vanessa Banks goes from ‘military to missionary’ by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
From “military to missionary.” That’s how Vanessa Banks, 25, who grew up in Stittsville, explains how her life changed from being a tank commander in the Canadian military to being a full-time Youth For Christ missionary in El Salvador, a Central American country beset by gangs. It’s a remarkable redirection in her life, but Vanessa attributes it all to God’s evolving plan for her. Indeed, Vanessa is considered something of a “black sheep” in the Banks family of Stittsville, not just because she joined the army and a tank commander while her father and sisters all have air force connections but because she gave up her military career after seven and a half years to become a full-time missionary in El Salvador. But to Vanessa, it has all made sense. She first visited El Salvador in 2012 on a short-term mission trip, an experience that she said changed her life. She continued to travel to El Salvador for short term mission trips but in 2015 she made the decision to leave the army and become a full-time missionary there, moving to El Salvador in July 2016 as a full-time missionary. She completed her 10-month term recently and is
now back home in Stittsville on a break before returning to Central America and eventually El Salvador to take on an even bigger role within Youth For Christ El Salvador, focused on growing the ministry and strengthening it across the region. “I know God was calling me to be a missionary in El Salvador,” Vanessa says about her decision to become a full-time missionary with Youth For Christ. She became the first full-time Youth For Christ Missionary in El Salvador. Her first year as a full-time missionary in El Salvador saw her work a lot with kids and youth while also visiting schools, orphanages, churches and various communities. She taught English for free, sang and played her guitar a lot and shared her military story with girls and women there as a way of empowering them. In her new expanded role with Youth for Christ in El Salvador, she will be establishing a local board of directors, will initiate new ministry projects and will work to strengthen Youth For Christ across all of Central America. Vanessa spent part of her first year there living with families in El Salvador. This helped her not only learn about the culture, but also assisted her in becoming fluent in Spanish. “I can communicate anything I want to,” she says about her ability in Spanish now.
Even in her first mission trips to El Salvador, she sang and played her guitar, finding that music had an impact on people, especially the youth. She found that when she was able to sing in Spanish, the music was even more impactful. She views music as something of a universal language which provides the ability to reach people’s hearts. Working with youth is important in El Salvador because of the gang problem that exists there. The goal is to try to reach the youth before the gangs do, showing them that they can find their identify in Christ rather than in a gang. Vanessa says that she tries to build relationships with the youth, being a mentor and role model. She admits that sometimes the task can be overwhelming with so many people to reach but she tries to focus on reaching one person at a time, acknowledging that she is “just one light in the darkness.” She also admits that she does not know what will happen in the coming years of her missionary involvement in El Salvador but she is trusting in God, saying that “God will lay the path.” She says that she thinks that she will be in El Salvador for the rest of her life but says that she is taking it one year at a time. She says that she loves the people and the culture of El Salvador
and wants to dedicate her life to helping the people there. She says that they are not obsessed with material things, but rather have a sense of community and family that permeates the culture. Vanessa very much believes that her time in the military was preparation for her current work as a missionary as her military service made her a stronger person and a leader. She points to her training in the military in the testimony which she delivers in her missionary work, showing how her time in the military let her overcome challenges and how it was all part of God’s plan for her. She points out that while God may call a person to a task, that does not mean that it is necessarily going to be easy. But she says that God wants a person to find their identify in who they are, not in their job. “You find your identity in God because you are a child in Christ,” she says. She finds that her story about her military experience commanding tanks inspires young girls and women in El Salvador to realize that they can achieve their dreams and be whatever they want to be.

Full-time missionary with Youth for Christ Continued from page 16
Vanessa admits that the decision to leave the military was the hardest decision that she has made because it meant leaving a secure job as well as her family and friends and go to El Salvador to be a missionary. But she has found real joy in what she is doing in El Salvador. In El Salvador, Vanessa has visited poor communities and has worked with the youth and people there, helping them and sharing about God’s love. She teaches English free of charge to give people of all ages more opportunities to get better jobs and have better futures. She visits schools, churches and orphanages to share her testimony and music; and she tries to build relationships with local youth, showing them that they can choose a different path than being involved in gangs. As a full-time missionary with Youth for Christ, Vanessa is tasked with raising all of the cost of her ministry role including salary, expenses, ministry materials and more. Her goal is to have financial support of $3,300 a month for the coming year. Monthly pledges or donations are being sought to provide this financial assistance that Vanessa needs to continue her work for Youth For Christ in El Salvador. Monthly pledges (for instance for $25, $50 or $100 per month) can be made online at http://yfccanada.
org/vanessa-banks.php. Donations can also be sent to Youth For Christ Canada, #308, 8047 — 199 St., Langley, B.C. V2Y 0E2. More information about financial donations can be obtained by calling Youth For Christ Director of Global Engagement Daryl Stogryn at 289-251-1568 or via email at daryl.stogryn@ yfccanada.org. The Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville has donated $500 to Vanessa’s expenses thanks to a recent hotdog dinner held at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall. You can follow Vanessa’s work in El Salvador by reading her blog at vanessafaithbanks.wordpress.com. Another way that you can help Vanessa is by joining her prayer team. This can be done by sending an email to vanessafaithbanks@gmail. com. El Salvador suffers from high rates of poverty, inequality and crime. It is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America, with a population of about 6.4 million people. The country is on the Pacific coast of Central America. Its economy is dominated by agriculture, particularly coffee exports. However, recent efforts are being made to diversify the economy.

Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim Virgin statue at Holy Spirit Parish on Sept. 13 Special to the News
It’s all to mark the 100th anniversary of the visions of Our Lady at Fatima in Portugal on May 13, 1917. A hand-carved statue from Fatima in Portugal that has been blessed by St. Pope John Paul II and belongs to a Stittsville resident is visiting five churches plus Notre Dame Cathedral over the coming months, always on the 13th of the month. This Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim Virgin statue (St. Padre Pio’s Queen of Peace Pilgrim Virgin), which is from Fatima and is hand carved in rosewood with crystal lifelike eyes, was blessed by St. Pope John Paul II for travels within Canada. It belonged to the mother of Jacinta Cillis-Asquith of Stittsville, who now owns the
statue. When Jacinta’s mother passed away in August 2015, this special statue was left in her care as she is named Jacinta after the youngest visionary at Fatima. This past May 13 was the 100th anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima and while at Fatima in Portugal on that weekend, Pope Francis canonized two of the child visionaries, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. It was St. Pope John Paul II who blessed this statue at Fatima in Portugal on May 13, 1982 when he travelled to the shrine there in thanksgiving for recovering from being shot the previous year. On the day that he was in Fatima, there were over a million pilgrims also in the town. It is in celebration of this year’s

THE
100th anniversary of the visions at Fatima in Portugal that this statue is being officially honoured in several Ottawa area churches on the 13th of the month over the next few months. The statue was at Good Shepherd Church in Gloucester on Saturday, May 13, the start of these visits to local churches. That same day this Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim Virgin statue was also at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Stittsville where it also was on the following day, May 14. The first communion classes at Holy Spirit Parish had their photos taken in front of the statue that weekend. The statue was at St. Michael’s Church at Fitzroy Harbour on Tuesday, June 13 at 7 p.m. On Thursday, July 13, the statue will be at St. Clement’s Church on Old St. Patrick Street in Ottawa at 7 p.m. while on Sunday, Aug. 13, the statue will be at St. George’s Church on Piccadilly Avenue in Ottawa. On Wednesday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m., the statue will be back at Holy Spirit Church in Stittsville. But the highlight of these church visits by this Pilgrim Virgin statue will happen on the weekend of Oct. 13-14. On
the afternoon and evening of Friday, Oct. 13, there will be a procession of this Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima statue from Immaculata High School on Main Street in Ottawa to Notre Dame Cathedral on Sussex Drive. At the cathedral, there will be a solemn mass celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary officiated by his Grace, the Most Reverend Terrence Prendergast, followed by a reception downstairs in the Cathedral. On the next day, Saturday, Oct. 14, there will be a mass at St. Maurice Church in Nepean, concelebrated by the spiritual directors of the three high councils of the Legion of Mary, namely the Toronto Senatus, the Ottawa Regia and the Kingston Curia. This mass will be followed by a procession of the statue from St. Maurice Church to St. Gregory Catholic School where there will be a luncheon banquet with guest speakers telling about Fatima’s key messages and their consequences for world peace. While not involving this statue, it should be noted that on July 1, which is Canada’s 150th birthday, all the Catholic bishops in Canada will consecrate Canada to Our Lady.

New entrance signs for Richmond Special to the News
It is now just one year to Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebration weekend. This gala weekend marking 200 years since the founding of Richmond in 1818 will take place on the weekend of June 15-17, 2018. Signs publicizing this 200th anniversary celebration weekend have been erected at the road entrances to the village, replacing the existing signs marking the entrance points to Richmond. The existing signs will go back up after the 200th anniversary celebrations. These new entrance signs publicizing the village’s 200th anniversary and its celebration weekend on June 15-17, 2018 were put up thanks to city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward Coun. Scott Moffatt. The 200th anniversary organizing committee had looked into such signage but it turned to Moffatt for help after receiving a $2,000 estimate. Moffatt facilitated the signage being put up by the City of Ottawa. The committee is continuing to raise funds for the 2018 celebrations. The fundraising thermometer at the 200th anniversary platform on Perth Street near Huntley Road has taken a jump and now stands at $46,000 and counting. This most recent jump in the fundraising total is the result of several recent initiatives. The recent “A Taste of Richmond” held at the Jabulani Vineyard and Winery raised a total of $6,500. A garage sale held at the Dining Hall during the recent villagewide garage sale generated $4,000 for the anniversary celebrations. Another $500 has been raised recently from the sale of Richmond 200th anniversary memorabilia while $425 was raised recently when Tino Bevacqua of the 200th anniversary organizing committee had his head
shaved. The area around the Richmond 200th anniversary platform and fundraising thermometer has been beauti-
fied thanks to the addition of a number of large pots of begonias donated by Peter Rofner of Richmond Nursery.

Lots going on in Richmond Special to the News
A family fun day, a craft show, an art show, a quilt show, a luncheon and a couple of barbecue’s — that’s what’s happening this Saturday, June 17 in Richmond. The family fun day, organized by the Richmond Village Association (RVA), will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Richmond fairgrounds. There will be a performance by Junkyard Symphony, a talent show, a bouncy castle, games and crafts, face painting, family yoga, Touch A Truck, and balloon animals made by Zany the Clown. And, best of all, it’s all free. For refreshments, there
will be a fresh squeezed lemonade truck on site along with an ice cream truck. In addition, the RVA will be holding a barbecue with hamburgers and hotdogs available. There will be a craft show in the adjacent Richmond arena, featuring an array of crafters, artisans and vendors. Admission is free. The arena will also be the site for the annual art show of the Richmond Village Art Club. Again, there is free admission for this art show. The quilt show is the 15th annual “Quilts in the Garden” show and sale which is being held at the Country Quilter shop and grounds on McBean Street.
The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. with over 100 quilts and handmade items to be displayed in the garden area at the shop. In addition, projects created by the shop’s artist-in-residence Heather LeServe of Manotick will be on display. There will also be a used book sale at the quilt show, raising funds for CANHAVE, a charity that provides schooling for orphans in Uganda. And anyone who makes a minimum donation to CANHAVE will be entered in a draw for a quilt created and quilted by Grace Whiting. Also at this quilt show will be JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service who will be
Around the village of Richmond *The sixth annual Tyler Kerr Memorial Golf Tournament is being held this coming Saturday, June 17 at the Richmond Centennial Golf Club. Registration starts at 11 a.m. The tournament is held in memory of Tyler Kerr, a Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association player who died in 2012 after collapsing during a hockey game in Carp. The tournament is being held to raise awareness about and to raise funds to donate towards the research of ARVC (Arhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasis/ Cardiomyopathy), a genetic mutation that takes the lives of young athletes around the world. The funds will be donated to both CHEO and the Ottawa Heart Institute. *Salena Richard, who is president of the Richmond Village Art Club, was at the Chapters store in Kanata last Saturday morning, displaying her work. She was also able to promote the Art Club’s upcoming art show and sale at the Richmond arena this Satur-
there from 11 a.m. onwards to sharpen anything that needs sharpening. This outdoor quilt show is free to attend. An added bonus is that the ladies of St. Paul’s United Church beside the shop on McBean Street will be providing lunch for just $10 so you can enjoy a delicious sit-down lunch at the church as part of your day’s activities in Richmond. And speaking of food, you can cap off your day’s activities in Richmond by patronizing the Richmond firefighters’ annual chicken barbecue which will be held at the Dining Hall at the fairgrounds, starting at 4 p.m. and going until sold out.
day, June 17. *Two free concerts courtesy of Waste Management and the Goulbourn Stittsville Recreation Unit will be held at the Richmond fairgrounds this summer.

Sacred Heart High School students see benefits in school trips by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sacred Heart High School grade 12 students Meg Harrington and Madison Drummond participated in a school trip to Costa Rica last April. And they are now great supporters of such school trips. Drummond says that any school trip enriches a student’s understanding of other places in the world. She also noted that such school trips are socially beneficial as well. But it’s the education that takes place on such trips that has really convinced her of their value. “You just learn a lot,” she said, referencing her trip to Costa Rica. Harrington also sees great value in such school trips, noting the interaction that takes place between the students and the teachers on the trip. She also noted how a student really gets to know another country on such a trip. Indeed, she said that the trip to Costa Rica was a highlight of her high school years. It was quite a trip to Costa Rica for this group of 30 students; 10 from Sacred Heart and 20 from All Saints High School in Kanata. Drummond, who had been on a school trip to Belize when she was in Grade 10, says that this trip to Costa Rica was different than the Belize trip. Whereas the trip to Belize was focused
on wildlife and the environment, this trip to Costa Rica had elements related to the environment, but it involved more humanitarian work such as visiting a school and working at a macaw sanctuary. She said that visiting the school was probably the highlight of the trip for her as she could see the impact on the youth at the school from the soccer balls and crayons which the group donated to the school. She said that actually seeing the impact and knowing that she was making a difference was more rewarding for her than viewing environmental areas like she did on the earlier trip to Belize. Drummond admitted that there was a language barrier as the kids in Costa Rica speak Spanish, but she said that any message was able to be conveyed, perhaps with the help of a smile. It is amazing how much you can get across to people without talking to them, she observed. Harrington was a rookie traveller on this trip to Costa Rica, as she had not travelled anywhere before and had never been on a plane before the flight to Costa Rica. She thought that travelling with a group of fellow students with a definite itinerary would be a good way to try out travelling. And what a trip it was. The students got to experience a
during their stay including rice and beans, a traditional food there. The food was always fresh and included such items as vegetables, salads, chicken, pork and fish. The group travelled around Costa Rica on a coach bus, travelling on roads which were quite good in themselves but at times had a steep cliff running along one side of the road. They travelled not only through big

cities like San Jose, the capital of the country and its largest city, but also through smaller villages and rural areas. Indeed, the group saw much of the country. Harrington noted the different people that she met along the way surprised her with regard to how happy they were. She particularly noted that those at the church which they visited were very welcoming.

hanging bridge, visit a volcano, visit a rain forest, kayak on a river and swim in a lake. They went snorkeling. They went on a lot of excursions such as a visit to a coffee farm. They saw some natural hot springs. They volunteered at a school, hanging out with the youngsters there and playing soccer with them. They visited the Manuel Antonio National Park which is renowned for its diversity of tropical plants and wildlife. They visited a church which was a relatively simple building but the interior featured lots of stained glass and statues. They got to volunteer at a macaw sanctuary. Macaws are colourful parrots which are generally considered an endangered species in the wild. Indeed, a few species have even become extinct. Macaws are native to Central America as well as other areas like South America and Mexico. The students also learned about the biodiversity in the country and about its plants and animals and what is being done today to protect the environment. The country has suffered from a lot of forest destruction in the past but this deforestation is now being overcome through tree planting to restore the country’s forests. The country is now very strict about protecting the environment and preserving wildlife. The students stayed in hotels, a different one each night on the early April trip. They ate Costa Rican food

She had the flu as did many kids at her school but she just wasn’t getting better and was unable to attend school and dance. She visited her pediatrician twice and was sent home saying it was a bad flu season and to just wait it out. When she started waking up to go to the bathroom several times a night, had an unquenchable thirst and complained of blurry vision her parents knew something was not right. Her mother realized that the family dog had not left her side in weeks and snapped a picture of them together and sent it to a friend who immediately asked if Kate had recent blood work done and if not to get her in right away because she looked extremely pale. Kate was brought in the same day for a blood test and urinalysis at a local clinic and before the blood test results even came back, her urine showed that she had an extremely high level of glucose necessitating an immediate trip to CHEO. Kate’s blood sugar was checked as soon as they arrived at emergency and within ten minutes the verdict came back - Kate had Type 1 Diabetes. Her mother was in shock and thought it
was a mistake. The doctor explained that Kate had all the tell tale signs – fatigue, extreme thirst, frequent urination, blurry vision, vomiting, and sudden weight loss. This is a very common story from parents of Type 1 kids. Often there is a virus that precedes the diagnosis and the child is sent home with a flu diagnosis. Kate’s blood sugar was 44, and the normal range for her age is between 4-7. The doctor told Kate she was brought in just in time and that some children arrive in a coma. Misdiagnosis can even lead to death but a simple finger prick to test a drop of blood was all that is needed to test for Type 1 Diabetes. The very next morning Kate and her family began a series of Type 1 diabetes training sessions at CHEO with an endocrinologist, nurse, dietician, social worker to learn what had to be done every day moving forward. It was a steep learning curve for the entire family. With T1D, her pancreas stopped producing insulin which is a hormone that our bodies need to turn food into energy. If you have T1D, you must constantly monitor your blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully balance these insulin doses with your eating and activity. Kate now has to check her blood sugar several times a day and night and have mutiple daily
insulin injections every single day until a cure is found. Unlike Type 2 diabetes that can be controlled with medication, diet and exercise, Kate needs insulin to live so it is now part of her daily life and allows her to eat what she wants and keep dancing competitively. Leaving the house now involves packing all of her supplies and ensuring she knows in advance what she will be eating and how much exercise so she can adjust her insulin doses. Finding out this past March that Kate has Type 1 Diabetes right before her competitive dance season began didn’t stop her one bit. Yes it was a shock and a struggle for Kate and her family to adjust to a new way of life but she managed to dance at four competitions successfully despite not feeling well and having to constantly monitor her blood sugar levels. The family has come a long way and feels they are now very educated on her T1D despite knowing very little upon diagnosis. Friends, family and teachers have gotten up to speed on Kate’s routine and know the signs to look for if she is has extremely high or low blood sugar. Its very important to her parents to have a knowledgeable group of friends and teachers around her when she is not at home. See KATE BEAULIEU, page 31

Kate Beaulieu walks with family and friends in Telus JDRF Walk Continued from page 30
During the Timbermere annual neighbourhood garage sale on Saturday, June 3, Kate didn’t stop at just having a lemonade stand. She also set up a charity table with her dance friends at the end of the driveway to raise money for her participation in the JDRF walk that took place last Sunday, June 11. Kate designed and sold t-shirts and water bottles, containers of slime, homemade pet treats and baked goods donated by friends and families. There was a local doctor on hand who volunteered his time to test blood sugar levels to raise diabetes awareness. Lowell Green donated signed copies of his new book 150 Fascinating Stories about Canada and all proceeds went to Kate’s walk. Kate’s best friend, Rowan Hernandez is Low-
ell’s granddaughter and she has been one of her biggest supporters with Kate’s T1D. Kate and her friends raised over $1,000 that day for her walk. This success led Kate to come up with a business idea to raise money for Type 1 Diabetes research and to raise awareness because there is only one drop of blood needed to check blood sugar levels. She doesn’t want other kids to go through what she did being so sick before being diagnosed. Kate’s entrepreunial spirit really has put a positive spin on this negative development in her life. Kate has found her purpose
in life and wants to pursue a career in the field of diabetes. Last Sunday June 11th, sixty of Kate’s friends and family joined her on her first Ottawa Telus JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. The love and support from her dance team, friends and family was evident as they walked side by side with Kate wearing their EradiKate T1D shirts. She chose the team name EradiKate T1D because she wants to fight and destroy this disease! Her team successfully raised $6300 and the walk raised over $170,000 in Ottawa. Living with T1D means there are no days
off and there is no cure. But there is hope. EradiKate T1D plans to walk every year to help JDRF create a world without type 1 diabetes for the millions of children and adults living with this disease. Kate is well on her way to help EradiKate T1D. If you would like to support Kate, donations are being accepted up until December for the recent JDRF 2017 by visiting: http://jdrfca.donordrive.com/participant/ kate . JDRF also accepts donations all year round and goes to help fund the research that will cure people living with T1D.

Q: My husband and I are separating. We have two daughters, 4 and 9 years old. Things are reasonably amicable between us, especially regarding the children, and we are trying to figure out custody, access and support. We both work full time and will be living near each other. We plan to share custody of the children equally so does that mean that no child support is payable? John Curry/Metroland
Kate Beaulieu, 12, of Stittsville, who has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, participated in the Telus JDRF Walk last Sunday. She also raised funds at a family garage sale.
People commonly use custody to describe who the children live with, but that is legally inaccurate. Custody refers to decisions about how the children are raised – for example things such as education, residence, health care and extra-curricular activities. Therefore, joint custody does not mean a 50/50 time split between the parents. It means the parents will share in decisions about those important factors. 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. Some families do one week rotations, others more frequently. When access is not equal, the parent who has the children less often may have them every other weekend and one weeknight each week. However, this arrangement can vary

greatly and is dependent on factors specific to each particular family. If the parties plan to share time with the children equally this does not necessarily mean that no child support is payable. When the children spend equal time with each parent child support is calculated using a set off. Meaning, you would determine the figure each party would pay the other if the children spent the majority of their time in one parent’s home and then set off those two numbers against each other to come up with the child support payable. When you are negotiating your separation agreement or navigating through a formal divorce proceeding, a family lawyer will be able to advise you on the legal and practical considerations of custody, access and support to assist you in establishing an arrangement that works for everyone involved.

South Carleton High School honours its top athletes by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
South Carleton High School (SCHS) honoured its top athletes June 8 at the school’s annual athletics banquet. Both the top junior and senior athletes of the year were recognized as well as athletes on each of the school’s sports teams honoured with individual awards such as Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year. The Senior Male Athlete of the Year award was presented to Noah Stanford who played on three school sports teams in the 2016-17 school year including soccer, basketball and lacrosse. Receiving honourable mention for this award were students Ian Caughey and Nathan Grenon. The Senior Female Athlete of the Year award went to Hayley Appel who also played on three school sports teams during the year including field hockey, ice hockey and touch football. Kerrigan Rowan received the Junior Male Athlete of the Year award while Charlotte O’Brien was presented with the Junior Female Athlete of the Year award. Both played on three school teams in the current school year. The Storm Award, which goes to a student athlete who has made a positive contribution to athletics during his or her years at South Carleton, was presented to Ian Caughey. During his time at South Carleton, he has played on the soccer, track and field, cross country, volleyball and badminton teams. Receiving honourable mention in the selection of the Storm Award were Hayley Appel and Noah Stanford. The Bob Erwin Scholarship Award is presented annually to a student athlete who has been a leader both on and off the field. Recipient Hayley Appel was described as a student who not only was captain or assistant captain of school teams but also was always encouraging her fellow athletes.

The two recipients of the Senior Athletic Letter this year were Ian Caughey and Hayley Appel. The awards banquet also saw a number of awards for achievements on individual teams presented. Such an award presentation would include remarks by the team coach on the attributes and achievements of the recipient. It was noted, for instance, that Griffin Jones, who received the Most Valuable Golfer award, tied for second place at the provincial high school OFSAA golf tournament. He will be attending school in the United States this fall where he will be focused on golf as well as academics. Student Emily Butler, who received a Most Valuable Racer award for the South Carleton alpine ski team, was praised by coach Blake Claydon for her four year record at SCHS, making three trips to the OFSAA provincial high school championships, winning four OFSAA medals and achieving several individual high finishes at the provincial competition. In addition, she has actively recruited fellow students to be on the alpine ski team and created a scrapbook for retired coach Wanda Craig. Field lacrosse coach Brett Lyle presented the team’s Most Valuable Player Award to Nathan Grenon who is off to play for an NCAA school in the United States this fall. Rookie of the Year for the school’s lacrosse team was female Kayle Osborne who finished fourth in team scoring for the season. Rookie of the Year award winners on the badminton team were two grade nine students, Aidan Fulcher and Hussam Surani who both made it to the city’s West Conference finals. The SCHS wrestling team this year grew from nine to 18 wrestlers, with three making it to the OFSAA provincial high school championships. See TEAM AWARDS, page 34

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
June 15, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed LRT Kanata Extension EA Open House Recap – Feedback Requested Dear Residents, On June 5th, I had the pleasure of attending the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Kanata Extension Environmental Assessment Open House. The event was well attended with over 100 participants from within the west-end communities and it was great to see residents so engaged and asking questions for such an important topic to the future of Stittsville. The meeting discussed potential options regarding the future of the LRT extension from Moodie to Palladium through Kanata and requested feedback from community members on their thoughts. A total of 13 potential corridors were identified, including locations north, south and central to Highway 417. All options are compatible with proposed extension of LRT to Moodie (Stage 2) and each option presented Palladium as the ideal location for the western terminus. The high density development planned for this area makes Palladium an ideal location for the line to end despite the uncertainty of what will become of the Canadian Tire Centre. I would ideally like to see the rail continue one step further and see the line extended closer to Maple Grove to better serve the residents of Stittsville. The presentation outline and boards listing available for viewing at www.shadqadri.com provide a complete overview of the considerations for all 13 options. I am pleased to report that Corridor 8 is the recommended option going forward as there are a number of benefits to this option: • It is centrally located along Highway 417 and provides a strong spine for bus transportation to compliment the system • Serves residents north and south of the highway and therefore provides good ridership potential • Minimal impact on residents leaving near the line • Utilizes existing park and rides (Eagleson, Terry Fox, and Palladium) • Has limited affect on the natural environment • Please see the Corridor 8 Board for more information on this plan. In addition to selecting Corridor 8 as the preferred choice, the City will still further review Corridors 5 and 13. Corridor 5 provides service to Kanata North which does assist by providing access to the employment area in Kanata North but I feel this corridor provides little benefit to Stittsville residents. Additionally, I feel this creates a missed opportunity as the Terry Fox Park and Ride would not be utilized and the corridor has greater negative impacts as well including natural environment impact, complexity, and capital & operational costs. Corridor 13 provides greater service to Kanata South as well as Stittsville, however, this option runs along the Trans Canada Trail (TCT). I feel this will be create problems down the line and as such, the majority of residents would not support LRT near the TCT. City staff and the consultants provided an excellent overview of all the corridors considered. The next step in the process is for a further analysis of corridors 5, 8 and 13. A second open house will be held in the Fall with more information. Right now it is important that residents provide their comments by June 23, 2017. It is important that Stittsville residents are heard. If you support Corridor 8 and think the terminus should be south of Pallidum to provide a greater connection to Stittsville or have other ideas, please send them to the City. Residents can provide comments by June 23, 2017 to: Angela Taylor Senior Project Engineer, Transportation Planning angela.taylor@ottawa.ca 613-580-2424 Ext. 15210 • www.Ottawa.ca/KanataLRT I would like to thank all residents who took the time to come out to the event and I encourage all residents to provide their thoughts on what is certain to be a developmental decision which affects Stittsville for many generations to come. Thank you for your engagement.
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.

Monetta Ayotte, a resident at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, celebrates her 90th birthday on Monday, June 5.
while Monetta Ayotte turned 90 years old. Both are now residents at the Stittsville Seniors Community. Pearce, who is a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, played a prominent role in the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Stittsville Seniors Community last November. Ayotte is one of the leaders of the Stittsville Seniors Community’s Knotty Knitters group. Pearce was born on June 5, 1916, in Ottawa. To put this date into historical perspective, this was just shortly after the Parliament Buildings had been gutted by fire and the First World War was raging in Europe. He grew up on Pretoria Avenue in the Glebe, attending First Avenue Public School and then going on to the Ottawa Technical High School.

Richmond Village Art Club show on June 17 by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Paintings, photography, jewelry, silk textiles, glass, scarves, pendants and pottery. That’s quite a diverse array of attractions but they will all be present at the art show and sale being held by the Richmond Village Art Club this Saturday, June 17. The show and sale will be held on the ice slab at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) with the space being shared between the Richmond Village Art Club and the Richmond Village Association (RVA), which is holding a craft show there. This is a great arrangement for those visiting the site as you get to see and enjoy two attractions — the RVA craft show and the Richmond Village Art Club’s show and sale. There’s going to be 25 or so artists who will be displaying their work or creations at the Art Club’s show and sale. This will include at least half a dozen who are new exhibitors with the Art Club.

BBQ time is coming up at St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond. The church is hosting its annual BBQ on Saturday, June 24 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with everyone welcome. You will be able to get steak for $15, a hamburg or veggie burger for $9 or a hot dog for $6. This will include a baked potato, a variety of homemade salads, dessert, coffee and tea. Tickets can be purchased by calling Nancy Evoy-Veilleux at 613-838-5032 or via email at nancy. veilleux@bell.net or Marsha Deyell at 613-838-3514 or via email at marshadeyell@hotmail.com.

Salena Richard (left), who is president of the Richmond Village Art Club, holds one of her paintings which will be on display at the Club’s art show and sale on Saturday, June 17 at the Richmond arena as she is joined by Coralie Bartley (right) who is the Club treasurer.
And just what will you see at the Art Club’s show and sale which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.? There will be: Janice Barclay with acrylic and mixed media paintings; Les Bartley with his acrylic landscapes paintings; Ross Connor with his acrylic paintings of ships; Aspa Kelly with her acrylic and mixed media works; Maggie Madden with her pastel and watercolour pencil works; Kat McClure with her mixed media and abstract paintings; Randy Wilson with his oil paintings; Aimee Britten with acrylic and oil paintings and photography; Sue Marsden with acrylic paintings; Carmen Renaud with watercolour and acrylic paintings; Steph Williams with jewelry and photography; Simbu Doobay with acrylic paintings; Meghan Barclay with beaded jewelry; Coralie Bartley with silk textiles; Heather Martineau with fused glass and mixed media paintings; Elizabeth Radmore with rocks, pendants and scarves; Salena Richard with pencil and acrylic paintings; Wendy Southin with jewelry, altered art and handmade books; and Jill Spear with pottery. This is the first time that the Richmond Village Art Club has held its show and sale on the ice slab in the arena. Last year the show and sale was held in the Dining Hall on the fairgrounds, adjacent to the arena. This year’s show and sale by the Richmond Village Art Club will be a prelude to the Club’s two day show which it will be holding in conjunction with the 2018 bicentennial celebrations taking place in Richmond next year. The Richmond Village Art Club is actively seeking new members. It has recently opened a website richmondvillageartclub.ca and is also on Facebook and Instagram. The Art Club is also supportive of art programs in
the local schools and has plans to hold more club activities such as workshops and member get-togethers. A long-term goal of the Richmond Village Art Club is to host a studio tour for artists in Richmond. The Richmond Village Art Club was started six years ago with Kat McClure serving as president. Kat was a driving force behind the club’s formation, inviting club members to her home where there was always a glass of wine and some nibbles on offer. She encouraged artists to display their latest work. Kat is currently walking the Camino de Santiago with a friend, something that she has always wanted to do, so she will not be at the Art Club’s show this Saturday, June 17. But the Art Club will have a booth set up there showing her paintings. The Richmond Village Art Club’s show and sale on June 17 in the arena is part of a day full of activities in Richmond. There’s not only the art show and sale as well as the craft show in the arena, but there’s also a family fun day being held on the fairgrounds. There’s a BBQ held by the RVA at noontime as well as the annual chicken BBQ held by the Richmond volunteer firefighters later in the day. The day is also the date for the annual outdoor quilt show and sale in the gardens at The Country Quilter on McBean Street, with a luncheon being offered next door at the St. Paul’s United Church. The Richmond Village Art Club’s show and sale is free to attend. There’s lots of free parking and one of the nicest things about this art show and sale is that you get to chat with the artists. They will all be there with the creations and you will be able to talk with them about their work.

FLOOR PLAN June 2017
Now that the time has come to purchase a new home, you want to make sure you get it exactly right. This is, after all, the most important investment you’ll likely ever make. While there is a wide variety of housing choices on the market in Ottawa these days, it is difficult to decide how to get started. There are so many components in your plan to consider: do you want to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe in a more rural setting? Of course the financial considerations are key. How much are you able to put down on that dream home and what size of mortgage can you handle? And what type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace or a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Perhaps you’re approaching your retirement years and looking to be closer to family. The multi-generational option is playing a growing role in the market these days. So many of Canada’s top home builders call the national capital region home, offering an array of housing styles. And Metroland Media brings you closer to these award-winning builders through our monthly feature, Floor Plan 2017. Doing your homework is key to purchasing a new home. We’re pleased to provide this special section to help make that process just a little easier. And look for more ideas in our next supplement inside your Metroland newspaper Thursday, Aug. 24.

Are you ready to become a HOMEOWNER? Congratulations! You’ve decided to buy a house. Owning a home is something to be proud of, but be careful. Are you really ready to be a homeowner? There’s a huge difference between the dream and reality. To become a homeowner, you’ll have to make a down payment of between 5 and 20 per cent of the property’s price. And that’s not all; you also need to estimate any additional costs associated with the purchase, such as a home inspection, notary or lawyer fees and legal expenses for the transfer of ownership. Generally, you should expect to pay about three per cent of the purchase price for these additional expenses. Don’t forget to add in the property taxes and home insurance as well. You’ll also have to take into account the costs of moving, renovations, utility connections (electricity, cable, Internet, etc.) and any maintenance. In other words, it’s important to evaluate your ability to pay before buying. Your current debt load will be a determining factor, so do your calculations carefully. Tip: before you start looking for your dream home, make an appointment with
your financial institution to find out what level of mortgage loan they would give you. Of course, you don’t have to do this, but it can help you target properties in the price range
you can afford. Lastly, don’t forget that even though home ownership is a great way to build capital, you’ll have to find the time, energy and
money to take care of your home’s maintenance and repair work. If you’d prefer to use your savings and free time to see the world, you’d better think twice before signing.

Strandherd Meadows
is an easy commute to exceptional living Bordered by the Greenbelt, Rideau River, Jock River and Highway 416, Barrhaven is south Ottawa’s most progressive community. With easy access to schools, parks, local transit and a variety of big-box stores and small shops, Barrhaven is a prime location. Standherd Meadows is one of Barrhaven’s most sough-after neighbourhoods. Phoenix Homes, Ottawa’s most reputable and affordable builder, is now offering 19 exclusive single lots in Strandherd Meadows. To be built on wide 50 foot lots, the new homes in Strandherd Meadows will be a mix of twostorey and bungalows, all featuring views of parkland across the street. “These homes will be on a single-sided street, meaning there will be no homes across from them,” explains Phoenix Homes Vice-President Rahul Kochar. “Instead, there will be a park in front of these homes.” All Phoenix Homes offer the latest in ergonomic design, innovation and elegance. Buyers in Strandherd Meadows will be able to choose from any of 12 bungalow designs ranging from 1,034 sq. ft. up to 2,515 sq. ft. or 14 two-storey single family homes ranging in size from 1,548 sq. ft. to 3,945 sq. ft. “As the neighbourhood is already built up, buyers of the last 19 lots will not have to deal with very much new construction around them.” Register online today at www.Phoenixhomes.ca to secure one of the remaining lots and then plan to move into your new home next summer! “Our single-family homes combine beautifully crafted designs with exceptionally functional layouts, offering you convenience and charm in one perfect home.” Phoenix Homes builds the highest quality, energy efficient and environmentally friendly, best value homes available. All homes are built to exacting standards, functional and comfortable, no matter what price. “We have made it a point to ensure that we are the best value in any area, compared to competition. Generally speaking, we are one step ahead of the competition – quality finishing, bonuses, and upgrades. When you do the math, you will always find that we’re ahead.” Just one of the many outstanding designs in a twostorey home, the Winchester is a home designed with family in mind. The double garage has access directly to the spacious mudroom with large closet, laundry room and powder room. The main floor is perfect for entertaining with a gourmet kitchen including a large island with seating for three opening into both the great room and living/dining room. The second floor can be made to suit any family – with 3, 4, and 5 bedroom options. The master suite, in any plan chosen, is luxurious with a large walk-in closet (the 4 bed option has his and hers walk-ins) and four-piece ensuite. Similarly, the Rutherford has been designed to provide all the benefits of a large home in a smaller package. The Rutherford has five exciting elevations available in configurations of 2,525 - 2,748 sq./ft. with four or five bedrooms, and four full washrooms on the second floor. Buyers can choose either an enclosed den or opt to increase the size of the kitchen to suit the most discerning chef. The four-bedroom option offers striking elegance with a two-storey family room. A two-sided fireplace helps to separate the family room and dinette while keeping the space open concept. The Rutherford second floor features a laundry, one Jack & Jill washroom, and two ensuites. Accessibility is no problem at Phoenix Homes, which offer custom entrances, wider doorways and halls, and appealing add-ons at ever turn. “We offer the best value anywhere. We invite people to shop and compare. We’ll always have something the others don’t.” Looking for a home that is designed for multi-
generational living? The Newington is all about innovation in design, comfort and functionality. “This home satisfies the demand for homes where family members of all generations stay in the same home. You can easily have three generations living comfortably under one roof.” The well-thought out floorplans and countless options save the hassle of trying to make an-in-law suite that compromises the house. “The Newington is purpose built for multi-generational living, from the ground up.” With a common entrance and shared space for family
interaction, the Newington provides ample opportunity for family gatherings while maintaining independence and privacy for individual interests. In keeping with the growing demand for natural products, Phoenix Homes has had its own operations to supply hardwood and granite since 2005. State-of-the-art CNC cutting machines for fabrication ensure the company’s granite and quartz are of the highest quality. Come home to a parkland setting nestled in the heart of Barrhaven. Register now for the remaining 19 lots in Strandherd Meadows. Go to www.phoenixhomes.ca or call 613-723-9227.

Buying from a Plan? Proceed carefully when buying a property from a plan Has a residential property development project caught your eye, and you’d love to buy one of the models? Everything seems right: the location, surroundings, materials, size of rooms and price. But be cautious about signing a pre-purchase contract based on a plan. You need to check a lot of details before buying a property that you’ve never laid eyes on. Your first step is to ask about the developer, builder and architect. Do they have good reputations? How many years have they been in business? Are they accredited by a recognized association? Check their permits and licences and don’t hesitate to ask for references from previous clients. Go to city hall to find out about other projects that are planned for the area where you want to live. Will there eventually be a park? A bigger road? Rental properties? Industrial buildings? Don’t rely exclusively on everything you’re told while visiting the show home. Do you feel pressured to sign quickly? Never sign a preliminary contract before your notary or lawyer has checked it out first. As a final precaution you can hire your own specialists to inspect your house or condo du ring every stage of the building process. They can check the quality of the soil, the excavation, foundations, framing and insulation, to name just a few things worth keeping tabs on.

Garden-insPired decor brightens spaces and mood Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful flowers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into gardening, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb.
Living wall planters A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up floor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be vertically mounted to a wall surface. While
there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil free potting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create.
Combining fish with gardening Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer readymade kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other water feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are discouraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants.
Creative furniture designs Maybe you’re a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better.

Talos President David Toscano continues the Toscano family tradition of using only the finest quality materials and workmanship by personally overseeing all aspects of building each home.

Molasses held many uses and many memories
Y
ou could smell molasses at Briscoe’s General Store, once you got by the row of cookies in their tilted boxes at the front. There was no attempt made to shut out the smells that filled the store, and coal oil, rubber boots, maple cookies, rolls of yard goods, and of course, molasses aromas met you as soon as you opened the door. Mother didn’t want molasses that day. I would still head to the back of the store, where a pail sat on a narrow bench, with a tin ladle resting on a chipped saucer, where customers could fill little honey pails with as much molasses as they needed. And if no one was looking, I would run my finger onto the saucer, capturing some that had stayed with the ladle used by the last customer. Of course, molasses filled all sorts of purposes at home. It would be poured into
his hands through it until it was dry enough to smoke in his pipe. Sometimes Father would get a package of pipe tobacco at the store, but when he used it instead of what he mixed at home, it never smelled the same. You knew right away, there was no molasses in the bought package. It wasn’t unusual for one of us five children to come Mother’s homemade Boston his pipe tobacco ready to down with what was called smoke until he had added baked beans, a recipe that the grippe. Of course, that a couple spoons of molaswas passed around Northwasn’t serious enough an ailcote, a recipe that was said to ses.

All the out from Renfrew. So when it board, which he used to cut time the beans were baking, happened that one of us, or the leaves into small pieces. Mother kept testing them with a spoon, and she would And then with his bare hands sometimes the whole lot of us, complained of a stomach add just a bit more molasses, he would mix the molasses until they were exactly as she into the tobacco.

MARY COOK
complained when Mother mixed up a glass of cold water with baking soda and a spoonful of molasses. It fizzed up just like a drink from a bottle of KIK bought at Briscoe’s General Store.
Memories
Of course, molasses filled all sorts of purposes at home.
Whether it did anything for a sick stomach was a good question, but it was certainly a ‘cure’ we all looked forward to. And every spring, just to give us what Mother called “a good cleanout,” we’d be
treated to one of her molasses concoctions. Not one of us complained, even when the drink sent us scurrying to the outhouse, which was its main purpose. Molasses went into muffins and cookies and was drizzled over bread pudding. A special treat for me was when Mother was using molasses in one of her many dishes, and I was allowed to lick the spoon. At a time when there was little money for special treats like store-bought ice cream, or even a box of Cracker Jacks, we could always count on a taste of molasses to take the sting out of those lean years, called The Depression.

Here comes strawberry supper! Grilled strawberry brownie Special to the News
Fresh local strawberries served over vanilla ice cream. It’s surely one of life’s greatest treats! And you can enjoy this treat at the annual community strawberry supper that St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville is hosting on Wednesday, June 28. There will be more than just the strawberries and ice cream at this event, though. There will also be a supper of turkey, ham, and lots of salads. Again this year, there will be three sittings — one at 4 p.m., another at 5:30 p.m., and a final
sitting at 7 p.m. There will also be takeout available. If you have a preferred time, you should get your tickets early because some of the sittings sell out very early on. Tickets for this annual community strawberry supper are $15 for adults, $5 for children aged six to 12 years, and free for children aged five and under. For tickets, please call the church at 613-831-1256 or call Geppy Walton at 613-836-5019. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street.

Two state-of-the-art cosmetic businesses SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Stittsville is home to two home-based stateof-the-art cosmetic businesses. Janet Brown has operated her business — A More Beautiful You Permanent Makeup — providing permanent makeup for women for 10 years. She has recently been joined by Raina Cordell who operates Scalp by Design, a separate business that offers scalp micropigmentation, an alternative to hair transplantation. Janet offers permanent makeup primarily for women, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner and lips themselves. Improving a woman’s eyelashes or eyebrows helps give the woman back her selfconfidence, she says. She has received special training at the Micro Pigmentation Centre in Toronto and has continued to keep up with the latest techniques in permanent makeup, which usually come from Europe. The vast majority of her clients come from seeing her work on someone else or via her website which includes before and after pictures. A number of her clients fly in to Ottawa as her reputation in the business has spread all over Ontario and into the United States. She says that she gets to meet people from all over thanks to her business. She says she is “very busy,” performing any-
into the scape. Adding thousands of these microdots to the scalp ends up giving the appearance of a recent buzz cut. A person can choose the colour and hairline wanted. “It’s really an illusion I am creating,” Raina says about the procedure. “But it’s a great illusion.” It restores a person’s self-esteem and eliminates the bald look, whether for a man or a woman.
Raina was trained as a nurse and she finds that this training now comes in handy for the scalp micro pigmentation treatment since it involves sterile cosmetic procedures, something that she as a nurse is fully knowledgeable about. Scalp by Design can be contacted at 613263-9065 or by email at info@scalpbydesign. com. The Scalp by Design website can be found at www.scalpbydesign.com. Appointments are needed for an initial consultation.
where from 10 to 25 procedures a week. She notes that quality training and experience both are important for her business. Janet Brown can be contacted at 613-2639065 or via email at info@amorebeautifulyou. ca. Her website can be found at www.amorebeautifulyou.ca. Raina has joined Janet, focusing on a fairly new procedure called scalp micro pigmentation which is considered a permanent solution for hair loss for both men and women. Raina received training in New York City, one of the leading centres for scalp micro pigmentation. As Raina says, she wanted to make sure that she learned from the best and that’s why she went there for her training. She points out that it is very devastating for both men and women to lose their hair, as it impacts their self-esteem. As a result, people have turned to expensive hair implants. Now there is a choice — scalp micro pigmentation. This procedure allows the person to choose the look desired, anything from adding a little density where there is mild hair loss to a complete head treatment where the entire head is pigmented to John Curry/Metroland look like the person has a freshly shaved head. Scalp micro pigmentation treatment consists Raina Cordell (left) of Scalp by Design and Janet Brown (right) of A More Beautiful You of using micro needles the same size and shape Permament Makeup are together in front of a “Scalp by Design” sign. as a hair follicle to embed matching pigment

CLUES ACROSS
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You may find yourself easily annoyed this week, Aries. Surround yourself with positive people so you’re not pulled into the doldrums. You will snap out of this funk.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you have been hesitant about being in the spotlight, times are about to change. There are no more excuses this week. Dive head first into everything.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 People around you may seem extra passionate about their beliefs this week, Sagittarius. But you can still take things lightly if those same fires are not stoked in you.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, when others call on you to police a situation, you might be stuck between doing the right thing and taking the side of a friend. Do your best to remain impartial.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 It’s time to pull your head out of the clouds and get back to business, Virgo. The real world is beckoning, so get your mind straight and return to form.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 This week you may pick up some skills you never thought possible, Capricorn. It may be computerrelated, or you may even begin to learn a foreign language.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The last few weeks have been good for you, Gemini. Others have had the chance to see what you are capable of accomplishing, and your confidence and ego are soaring as a result.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when speaking with others, take a more serious tone than you are used to. You don’t want to come off as if this is just a big joke. Something important is happening.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may finally arrive at a destination only to discover you really didn’t want to go to this place after all. Sometimes, you learn through discovery.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, get outside and enjoy the fresh air as much as possible. The great outdoors can provide a welcome respite from the daily grind.

CHEO Telethon raises $8,727,897
Co-winners Submitted
Table Topics master Leo Tao (centre) presents the Table Topics trophy to co-winners Carla Gajdecki (left) and Jean Vickers (right) at the June 7th meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. Theme of the meeting was “Ice Cream.”
Special to the News
The 34th annual edition of the CHEO Telethon on CTV last weekend was a record-breaking success, raising $8,727,897 to help the doctors, nurses, researchers and staff at CHEO, the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre (OCTC) and Roger Neilson House continue to provide the family-centred care that people in the region have come to expect. Be a Hero for CHEO was the call to action from the CHEO Foundation for this year’s CHEO Telethon as the word was spread about this biggest event on the CHEO Foundation’s annual calendar. When the 24-hour broadcast came to an end at 7 p.m. on Sunday evening, CHEO Foundation president and CEO Kevin Keohane was
thankful for an astoundingly loyal community. “Everyone at CHEO, OCTC, Roger Neilson House and the CHEO Research Institute work as one team, dedicated to helping children live their best lives possible,” explained Keohane. “The reason they can continue to provide such amazing care is because the people in our region care so deeply for the kids.” The final dollar total includes money presented to the CHEO Foundation from special fundraising events and activities conducted throughout the year, as well as phone and online donations made by viewers during the CHEO Telethon. Proceeds will help CHEO purchase specialized medical equipment, make much needed renovations within the hospital, and conduct life-saving research.
