Funeral services held in Kanata for teens killed in Stittsville crash ‘Beautiful memories’ of accident victims BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Condolences and well wishes for their families have continued to pour in after two teenage girls were killed in a single vehicle accident near Stittsville as funeral services were held in Kanata for Michaela Grace Martel, 18, and Maddie (Madison Michelle Leanne) Clement, 17. Funeral services for the teenage girls were held in Kanata for Martel on June 23 and for Clement on June 26. The two females, Martel and Clement, who leaves behind a young daughter named Lilah, died in an accident on Sunday, June 18, when four teens were in a vehicle on Fernbank Rd., near Jinkinson Rd., when the vehicle they were in is suspected to have attempted to pass other vehicles and the driver lost control. The vehicle went into a ditch and then crashed into a wooded area. Po-
lice continue to investigate. A 17-year-old female and an 18-year-old male were also severely injured in the accident as well. Police say the four teens were at a bush party and the parents of one of the surviving teens of the accident have since told the CBC that the teenagers had gone to a quarry on Jinkinson Rd. to go swimming before the accident. “Our sweet Boo, you were a shining light in our lives and will be forever missed. Thank you for your love, hugs and beautiful memories. Your light shines in Lilah and we promise that we will watch over her and honour you in making sure she knows how much you love her. Love you so much! Until we meet again,” a message reads in the guest book for Maddie Clement on the Kelly Funeral Home’s website that is signed “Love Gramma and Grampa.” See TRAGEDY, page 5

Labour ministry probes Amberwood chemical mishap Golf and Country Club back in operation next day BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
What is being described as a chemical reaction at its pool facility that sent five people to hospital as a precaution and involved others being treated on the scene by paramedics after being exposed to fumes resulting from accidentually mixing chlorine and other chemicals on
Friday, June 23, is being investigated by the provincial Minstry of Labour. But Stittsville’s Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club was back in operation the very next day. In a statement, the club said “there was a localized chemical reaction that caused toxic fumes at Amberwood, concerning management on site. The team evacuated the building as a precautionary measure and contacted the fire
department. Five people were taken to hospital for further observations and are expecting to be just fine. There was no explosion or any other situation of note other than the fumes from the (chemical) reaction.” Ottawa’s fire department called in its Hazmat team, which checked the facility’s HVAC system to make sure it was operating properly, the club said in the statement. The club would not comment futher as the incident is under investigation. “We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank the local Ottawa fire department for their assistance,” club management said.

Stittsville residents can have their say on the proposed names for two future parks in the community. What is proposed is to name a new park within the Porter Place development William Bradley Park and a future park within the Potter’s Key subdivision Allan Frederick Moore Park at 611 Hazeldean Rd.

New park names under review After leaving the Canadian Air Force in 1943, William Bradley, an active community volunteer for years including with the community’s volunteer fire department, had a career in the Stittsville retail food industry for 46 years. Lawyer Allan Frederick Moore’s historical significance to the community is cited as the reason to name a park after him. He passed away in 1969. The city’s commemorative naming committee is calling on

Tragedy impacts the community as prayers go out to families Continued from page 1
Many of the remembrance postings for Clement reference her young daughter Lilah. “Sincere condolences in the loss of your beloved Maddie. Life sure can be cruel at times. I am sure God must have a very special role for her to play thus needed to call upon her so early in life. Little Lilah has a precious guardian angel protecting her from above now. May you find comfort and peace in memories from happier times. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers during these sorrowful days,” wrote Wendy Dewan of Kanata. Clement had attended the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Frederick Banting Alternate Site Program in Stittsville for a brief period, but was concentrating of caring for her young daughter at the time of the accident. Martel was a student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Kanata. “Michaela’s memory will always be cherished by her aunts, uncles, extended family and friends. The family would like to thank the entire community for the outpouring of support, in our time of need,” the obituary for Martel states on the Kelly Funeral Home’s website. The Martel family had asked that any memorial donations in Michaela’s memory go to The Royal Foundation for Mental Health or the Do It For Daron campaign. “We wanted to express our very sincere condolences to you and your family on the tragic loss of your beautiful daughter Michaela. As parents ourselves, we can’t even imagine the horror and heartache you are going through right now. She seemed like a beautiful girl, inside and out. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and may Michaela rest in peace,” commented Anita and Bernard Wyczynski of Ottawa. “Words cannot express the sorrow and pain we feel in the loss of your beautiful daughter, Michaela.

cult time. We extend our deepest condolences,” added Carla, Glenn and Zachary Backmeier of Kanata. According to Sharlene Hunter of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the school board has offered the families of the victims support and provided support for students and staff of AY Jackson school. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri has also extended his condolences to the families of the teens involved in the accident, and as the chair of Ottawa Public Health, urges parents to speak to their kids about the incident. “This … community experienced a very sad tragedy when the lives of two youth were lost in a car accident just outside of Stittsville. I know I speak for myself and on behalf of all residents when I say that our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families,” Qadri said. “When a tragedy such as this occurs, it can impact many in the community. For tips on grief and speaking with your children about this event, please visit the following Ottawa Public Health resource: ottawa.ca/en/residents/public-health/ mental-and-emotional-health#respondingstressful-events,” he added. A GoFundMe account was set up for Maddie Clement’s family to help pay funeral expenses and support her daughter. The account, which as of June 26 had raised $12,930, was set up by family friend Chris Lord of Kanata (gofundme. com/help-for-for-maddies-family).

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on June 14, 2017 established its intention to designate Macdonald Gardens Park at 99 Cobourg Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 99 Cobourg Street, Macdonald Gardens Park Description of Property – 99 Cobourg Street Macdonald Gardens Park is an urban park bounded by Tormey, Cobourg, Heney and Wurtemburg Streets and is identified as being of cultural heritage value. The park was designed by landscape architect Frederick Todd in 1914 and is located in Lowertown East. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Macdonald Gardens Park, an evolving cultural heritage landscape, is of cultural heritage value as a park designed by Frederick Todd, one of Canada’s early landscape architects, who planned many parks across the country. The park has evolved from a cemetery, to one of Ottawa’s early planned landscapes with winding paths, native trees and open spaces, and a stone summer house on top of a hill, and is now a recreational park. Macdonald Gardens Park is of historical value as an early project of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, which was established in 1899 to beautify the capital. The park also has historical value because it was constructed on the site of a former cemetery. Between the years 1845 and 1873 the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Wesleyan Methodist and Roman Catholic churches used this site as the Sandy Hill cemeteries. Macdonald Gardens Park’s contextual value lies in its landmark setting within the Lowertown area and its prominently located summer house on a hill. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Ongoing concerns about thefts from vehicles at the Carp Rd. park and ride facility that a lot of transit commuters from Stittsville use to access OC Transpo service has Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri joining with fellow city Coun. Scott Moffatt in wondering if securty cam-

eras at the parking facilty can be added to ease residents’ concerns. The ongoing concerns about thefts at the facility come as planned upgrades to the park and ride have already been announced. The upgrades include a new paved surface to, as Qadri said, “allow for an improved customer experience, by eliminating mud and puddles
while delineating accessibility and other spaces with pavement markings.” As well the park and ride’s capacity will be expanded, increasing the number of parking spaces to 150 spaces from the current 115 parking spots, Qadri said of the park and ride that is actually located within Moffatt’s Rideau-Goulbourn municipal ward.
“This is great news as we know that many residents rely on this park and ride for service and the increased number of spaces will help to accommodate demand,” Qadri said. But when it comes to the security concerns that have been expressed, the idea of installing security cameras is still in the idea stage. “Our offices have been made aware of the recent thefts that have occurred
at this location as well as the demand for cameras. Please note that we are looking into the possibility of adding security cameras to this location,” Qadri said. “While unfortunately, at this time, cameras are not planned as part of these upgrades, we will continue investigating the feasibility of adding these and will share updates with the community as they come,” Stittsville’s councillor said.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is all for an urban forest management plan to serve as a 20-year plan “for growing Ottawa’s urban forest and making it healthier, more diverse and resilient.” A statement by Qadri read at the city’s environment and climate protection committee on June 20 said “this is a very important
step forward to ensure that the city takes a leadership role in protecting our natural environments. My ward is one of the faster growing areas in the city and almost all of this development is greenfield development and involves the destruction of the natural environment.” “While intensification is necessary to manage urban sprawl, I strongly feel that we also must ensure that work is done in partnership with the land developers to ensure that urban forests are protected,” Qadri’s
statement said. “This is a major concern of mine, which is also strongly shared in my community,” he said. “This plan provides the greater projection that we as a city need to stand for to ensure there is proper planning in the development of our communities and that we can strive to move away from the bulldozing mentality and practice that we experience far too often.” The plan was to be discussed by council on June 28.

Celebrate Canada’s glory July 1
C
anada’s 150th birthday is a time of celebration, but don’t ever think that this achievement was easy. The Fathers of Confederation had great dreams back in 1867, but these were not enough to ensure success as a nation. Over the ensuing years, the country has met challenge after challenge — the Riel Rebellion, two world wars, the Depression, the Quebec crisis, to name but a few. Canada has come through it all, and has grown to be acknowledged as one of the most inclusive and free countries in the world. When asked what best describes Canada, our health care system is frequently mentioned. But it is not the health care system itself that defines Canada. It is simply the product of Canada’s most enduring traits — a desire for everyone to be treated fairly, equally, and with respect. The health system does this. These traits pervade Canadian society. That’s why refugees have been welcomed here. That’s why gay, lesbian, and transgender rights are now a fact of life in our country. That’s why multiculturalism is prevalent in Canada, in sharp contrast to the melting pot concept in the United States. Of course, Canada is not perfect. More needs to be done for mental health. More needs to be done
in helping the homeless and the working poor. And more needs to be done to reach reconciliation with indigenous peoples. While 150 years of nationhood for Canada is cause for celebration, our indigenous neighbours in this country have a history not of hundreds but of thousands of years. Theirs is a tradition and lifestyle that deserves respect and admiration, not the prejudice and disdain that has prevailed in past years. It’s time for the resolution of the country’s indigenous relationship so that we can all go forward in mutual respect and equality. There is much to be proud of in Canada. Any list of recipients of the Order of Canada reveals a myriad of accomplishments, from medicine to entertainment to sports to high tech to the creative arts, and more. Yet, many recipients are relatively unknown to their fellow citizens. That’s just the Canadian way. Do something, do it well, and do it with little fanfare. July 1 this year, though, is a time to break this mould, at least for a day, and celebrate Canada and all its achievements over the past 150 years. Canadians are a hard working, good-hearted, generous, respectful people. This is Canada’s strength. This is Canada’s glory. This is our Canada. Happy Canada Day!
Enjoy the fact that Canada is 150 and a democracy
E
xperienced news media consumers know that we like nothing better than to spoil your fun. There is not a happy occasion that comes without cautionary words. A particularly creative example of this was in the newspaper the other day, an article about how summer can make you sad. Turned out the article was in a British newspaper and perhaps summer is different there. The sad part, according to the article, comes from the fact that you have to watch your friends having fun while you’re not, or you have to watch your friends leave for exciting vacations while you’re stuck in town. So watch out for that. Plus, the article doesn’t even mention all the bad things the summer sun can do to you. You can add this to the list of warn-
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town ings about other pleasurable events in all seasons. Christmas, as we all know, is problematic because we overeat and overdrink. Music festivals, as we were warned the other day, are rife with dangerous drugs. Boating is fun but watch out for the water. And don’t forget about all the perils of play structures. With this in mind, we have a different way of looking at the approach of Canada’s 150th birthday: stay hydrated and don’t forget the sunscreen. Of course, if you were of a mind, you could apply the warning label ap-
proach to our nation as a whole: Canada, while seemingly a free and pleasant place, can make you sad. Canada is cold. You could freeze, or your car could. Canada has a vigorous sporting life but you could get hit with a flying hockey puck. In the autumn, Canada’s trees change colours and can be quite beautiful but you could hurt your back raking them up. This is not a problem that affects countries that have no trees. Canada is cursed with trees. Canada has two languages but you might not be able to understand the one being spoken to you at any particular time. Canada is plagued by mosquitoes, wasps, bears, black flies, cougars, raccoons and, um, leeches. Canada is multicultural which means there are parts of town where you can’t get a decent grilled cheese sandwich.

So you should celebrate carefully. Always keep a bucket of water handy and some sand. Canada is located right next to the United States. That could be a problem. Also, some of your friends might be leaving for exciting vacations in the United States and that could make you sad. When the snow melts in the spring that could make you sad because your basement floods. Canada’s health system is the envy of many in the world but it costs the earth to park at the hospital. Sad. All that being said, it is our duty to note that some Canadians insist on ignoring the many warnings and just carrying on as if calamity did not lurk around every corner. Canada, in fact, has some people who are cheerful, optimistic, confident about the future, happy with their lives and keen to celebrate.

There’s probably a warning to be found in there somewhere, if you look hard enough. Just in case you don’t want to, you can enjoy the fact that we’re 150, and a democracy. There’s not a lot of countries that can make that claim.

Canadian flag now flies at Welcome to Stittsville sign Special to the News
A Canadian flag now flies at the Welcome to Stittsville sign park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. There’s not only a new flagpole there but the Welcome to Stittsville sign has been revamped, with the new bilingual version supplied by Stittsville Glass and Signs. This is all thanks to an innovative private-public partnership involving the new Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence now under construction at the adjacent former Stittsville Flea Market site, the City of Ottawa and the Kavanagh family, owners of the former landmark Stittsville Flea Market. The Canadian flag on the new flagpole was raised for the first time in a ceremony on Saturday, June 24 which also featured the unveiling of the revamped Welcome to Stittsville sign. The event was hosted by the developers of Hazeldean Jake Davies/Metroland From left, RCMP Constable Stuart Ollerhead, Murray Jackson of Hazeldean Gardens, Councillor Shad Qadri, Sharron Kavanagh Gardens Retirement Residence.
representing the Kavanagh family, Wit Lewandowski of Hazeldean Gardens, Stacey Scolli, Nancy Therrien and Luke Therrien all of Stittsville Glass and Signs, pose in front of the community’s new bilingual “Welcome to Stittsville” sign.

Qadri went on to say that he was especially pleased that the Kavanagh family agreed to contribute to the partnership so that these enhancements could be completed at no cost to taxpayers.” The presence of red-suited RCMP Const. Stuart Ollerhead added special meaning to the flag raising ceremony. All those who attended were treated to complementary BeaverTails and Tim Hortons coffee — a truly Canadian event, EH!
Continued from page 10
“My office and the owners of Hazeldean Gardens both felt this was a great initiative to demonstrate Canadian pride, particularly with this year’s sesquicentennial celebrations in full swing,” said Coun. Qadri. “I suggested that integrating the Canadian flag at the centre of our community would be a welcome addition to Stittsville and the developers agreed. They also agreed to replace the old Welcome to Stittsville sign with an attractive new bilingual version

It’s one of the most enduring scenes in the Ottawa Senators’ recent history — Lyndon Slewidge singing O Canada to open a game. And you will be able to relive and enjoy this iconic singing of the national anthem at Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations this year. That’s because Slewidge will be on hand at 7:30 p.m. to kick off the evening portion of the celebrations with his rendition of O Canada. You can be assured Slewidge will deliver a performance just like he did for over 20 years as the official anthem singer for the Senators. His version of O Canada is bilingual and always ends with a salute, a wink and a thumbs-up. You can bet that his July 1 performance in Stittsville will include these signature moves. Slewidge is a retired OPP officer who grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, where he won accolades for his singing as a youth. He began his police career in 1975. Before moving to the Ottawa area, he first sang national anthems for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League. Slewidge’s version of O Canada has even made it to outer space. In 1992, Canadian astronaut Roberta Bondar took recordings of the American and Canadian anthems done by Slewidge aboard her flight on NASA’s space shuttle Discovery. On Canada Day this year, you don’t have to travel to outer space to hear a Slewidge rendi-

Jas Michalski (left), president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa - Stittsville, presents a Paul Harris Fellow recognition certificate to Club member Rosemary Brummell (right) at the Club’s June 14 meeting.
Rosemary Brummell becomes Paul Harris Fellow Special to the News
The Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville has a new Paul Harris Fellow. Past president Rosemary Brummell was presented with her Paul Harris Fellow certificate and pin at the club’s meeting on June 14, marking her achievement of contributing $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. The Paul Harris Fellow is one of the most significant honours which Rotary bestows on its members. The Paul Harris Fellow award was established in 1957 to show appreciation for and to encourage generous contributions to Rotary International. Rotarians also have a tradition of honouring non-Rotarians as a Paul Harris Fellow, with the club itself making a $1,000 donation to Rotary International. These non-Rotarians so hon-
oured include Saint Mother Teresa, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, former Russian president Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell and entertainer Pearl Bailey. In 1978, the 25,000th Paul Harris Fellow was named. By 2006, there were one million fellows. The award is named after Paul P. Harris, the Chicago attorney who founded Rotary in 1905. It was founded as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form friendships. Rotary is committed to service as its fight against polio shows. Rotary started to try to reduce the threat of polio in the world in 1979, when it was epidemic in 125 countries. Now polio is considered a threat in only three countries in the world. Rotary now has 1.2 million members in countries around the world.

* An independent clinical study in the US has shown that primax provided a significant improvement in ease of listening in demanding listening environments. A newly developed methodology using objective brain behavior measures (Electroencephalographic data), showed a significant reduction in listening effort for mild to moderate hearing impaired subjects using primax hearing aids in speech-in-noise situations applying advanced features such as Narrow Focus and EchoShield. ** Two clinical studies have shown that binax provides better than normal hearing in certain demanding environments (University of Northern Colorado, 2014; Oldenburg Hörzentrum, 2013): Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) in cocktail-party situations improved up to 2.9 dB for wearers with mild to moderate hearing loss using Carat binax or Pure binax hearing aids with narrow directionality, compared to people with normal hearing.

This includes having the right number of painters who follow a systematic process. “We don’t take short cuts, but work efficiently,” says Leesha Cunningham. The WOW factor is realized when clients see their homes transformed. “We don’t charge extra for our one-day service.” adds Leesa Franklin. “People love the opportunity to get their home painted in a day, but in many cases they prefer two days.

Kanata building business with new Central bia The heart of Kanata’s vibrant commercial zone is now a focused business community. After a year of planning and preparation, Ottawa officially welcomes its 19th Business Improvement Area (BIA) to represent Kanata’s rapidly growing retail core in the area surrounding Kanata Centrum and Signature Centre. The Kanata Central shopping district has it all. You can shop all day, then dine and enjoy an evening out and even stay over! The area within the BIA’s boundaries features more than 150 businesses offering a huge array of goods and services – including big box retail, smaller locally owned shops that cater to a wide variety of specialty tastes and interests, car dealerships, health services, restaurants, movie theatres, nightclubs, hotels and so much more. Operating with an estimated annual budget of about $150,000, KCBIA brings business, people, and property owners together and, with the support of the City of Ottawa and others as necessary, to organize, finance, and carry out improvements and promote ‘smart’ growth and economic development consistent with its mission. Like its counterparts in other areas of the city, Kanata Central BIA is governed by a board of directors recruited from the local business community. Chair is Adam Stuart, Canadian Tire and Vice chair is Sean O’Leary, MYHome Furniture. Secretary is Neil Highet, Fat Tuesday’s, and Treasureris Faye Potter, RBC Kanata Commons. Directors include
Kirk Sauriol, Staples; David Brown, Mucho Burrito; Paul Lynds, The Brick as well as Kanata North Councillor Marianne Wilkinson. “The newly formed Kanata Central BIA was motivated to come together due changing business dynamics for how people purchase goods and pressures to the market from local and online sources. With the rapid housing growth in the west end of Ottawa, there is a dire need to re-vitalize and grow the region a destination for shopping, entertainment, and hospitality. Even people who shop in the area regularly don’t know all we have to offer!” said Adam Stuart. “Additionally, the KCBIA will provide and communicate critical information back to the KCBIA membership regarding initiatives and activities of any entity including the City of Ottawa which may impact the business district and its member enterprises.” A non-profit organization, Kanata Central BIA is funded through area-specific levies on all commercially assessed properties within the defined boundary. Levies are determined by a BIA’s yearly budget and are paid as part of property taxes. For more information, visit kanatacentralbia.wordpress.com or facebook@ kanatacentralBIA.

Growing fruits, vegetables can be fun, speaker says Special to the News
Growing fruits and vegetables can be both fun and rewarding. This was the message delivered by master gardener David Hinks at the June 20 meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. He noted that fruits and vegetables can be grown by an individual or as part of a community garden. He advised that diversity of such fruits and vegetables is important in order to create a habitat for beneficial insects. Hinks also noted that vegetable gardening can be more successful if a gardener chooses varieties suited to the climate, plants them at an appropriate time, cares properly for the soil and works with nature. He said that people grow edibles because they then know what is grown and that it is free of chemicals. In designing a vegetable garden, a gardener should locate it in a spot where there is at least six hours of direct sun. Access to water is important, as is proximity to the kitchen. He outlined the advantages and disadvantages of raised beds. They are pleasing to the eye and good for seniors and those with mobility challenges as they are easier to access. However, raised beds also mean higher costs as more soil is needed for them compared to a garden on the level. Hinks said that there is increased interest these days in locally-grown fresh food. He described the growing season in the Ottawa Valley as short, hot and dry. Some of his advice included growing heat-loving plants in the June to August period; planting cool-loving plants in early spring (e.g. lettuce and spinach); growing such perennial favourites as strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus and herbs; and growing a diverse selection of fruits and vegetables. Plants which are heat-lovers include beans, corn, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, sweet potatoes and peanuts. Plants which prefer frost or semi-frost are cabbage, onions, lettuce, beets and carrots. Hinks advised that the best way to improve any soil is to add compost to it. Mulching with hay or straw helps reduce weeds, Hinks said, noting that it also helps reduce moisture loss. Do not water in full sun, he advised, noting that controlling weeds helps to conserve moisture and nutrients in the soil. He said that rotten eggs and garlic are good natural repellents, keeping animals away from the garden. Hinks said that earwigs are a gardener’s friend because they are predators and they eat the insects off vegetation. See BE ON LOOKOUT, page 19 18 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 29, 2017
Be on lookout for insects Continued from page 18
There are a number of insects for which a gardener should be on the lookout, such as the Colorado potato beetle, cutworms, flea beetles, leek moths, squash bugs, squash vine borer, cucumber beetles and wire worms.
With regard to fruit trees, Hinks said that pear trees have fewer problems than apple trees. Black knot is the problem with plums. Dormant oil or lime sulphur can be used as a pesticide on fruit trees.

Fighting the opioid crisis: a community eFFort By: Mayor Jim Watson For some time now, the City of Ottawa has been facing a serious public health crisis in relation to the misuse and overdose of opioid drugs. Statistics show that each year, 30 opioid overdose related death happen in our city. The recent emergence of illicit fentanyl as a drug filler puts even more people at risk for overdose. Illicit fentanyl is much more toxic than other pharmaceutical opioids and because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible to the naked eye, there is no easy way to know if drugs have been cut with fentanyl. A very small amount can cause a fatal overdose. With tragedies already tearing our communities apart, it is clear is that we must work with community partners on a responsive multi-faceted opioid strategy. Over the last few months, there has been an important dialogue between municipalities and upper levels of government on how best to coordinate efforts that will lead to a reduction of overdose deaths across Canada, including Ottawa. The Province of Ontario recently announced new base funding of $350,000 for Ottawa Public Health (OPH) to directly support our local substance misuse strategy. The Province also announced the distribution of almost 80,000 additional naloxone kits, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, per year to front-line organizations. We know what access to naloxone can save lives. In the last year, 160 pharmacies have collectively distributed more than 4,000 naloxone kits in Ottawa alone. The city is facilitating training on how to respond to an overdose using naloxone for staff and volunteers at Ottawa’s shelters, downtown bars and festivals. Additionally, firefighters at all 45 fire stations in the City of Ottawa have recently completed training on how to administer naloxone and all City of Ottawa fire trucks now carry naloxone on board. We are also preparing for Ottawa Police Service members to administer naloxone when needed. But we must also tackle the roots of this crisis. Through public education, drug enforcement, and by providing better access to affordable housing, mental health support and clear pathways out of poverty, we can make a significant difference. Ottawa Public Health has been at the forefront of the fight on the opioid crisis. Last November, its Overdose Prevention and Response Task Force (OPRTF) launched a collaborative public education and awareness campaign called StopOverdoseOttawa. ca. Since its launch, this site has recorded over 25,000 visits. OPH is also engaging with all four Ottawa school boards, the Ottawa Police Service, Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services, and Maison Fraternité, as well as student leaders, to develop a youth-to-youth approach to better engage our youth. Through of age-appropriate presentations to Grade 4 to 12 students, we have reached close to 6,000 students and provided invaluable information on the risks of opioid use and misuse.
150 Iber Rd. Stittsville 613-270-8504
I am confident that our shared goals and collaborative efforts will translate into a decrease in drug misuse and overdose in time. More information about counterfeit pills, overdose prevention, naloxone and local treatment resources can be found at www.StopOverdoseOttawa.ca.

Park named in honour of Albert Argue Black BROCKVILLE
LOVES CANADA 150 ONLY 1 HOUR FROM OTTAWA!
Special to the News
Former Village of Stittsville reeve Ab Black now has a park named after him. The Albert Argue Black Park serving the Fairwinds West and Poole Creek Village communities has been named in honour of the former village reeve, councillor and community volunteer. The park has been named after him to mark his work, commitment and dedication to the Stittsville community. The park, located on Rosehill Avenue, is
not that far from the Black family homestead located on Huntmar Drive just north of Highway 417, where a nephew still lives. The family’s roots in the area go back to the early 1800s. Ab Black himself attended elementary school at the one-room schoolhouse which is now the Cheshire Cat Pub at the corner of Richardson Sideroad and Carp Road. He went on to high school in Carp and then to Almonte for Grade 13. He obtained a degree in purchasing from the University of Toronto and worked for the fed-

eral government. In March 1951, he married his wife Vera, beginning a 61-year marriage. On Jan. 1, 1952, they moved to their home on Abbott Street in Stittsville, where Vera still resides. Ab passed away in 2012. Ab served as a member of the Village of Stittsville council for 11 years, four of them as reeve. He was the reeve of Stittsville when the village was amalgamated with the Village of Richmond and the rural Township of Goulbourn to form the new larger Goulbourn Township in 1974. Ab decided to leave political life when this amalgamation happened. Ab also served on the Carleton Place hospital board as well as on the board of the Carleton Apartments in Stittsville. He was also a member of the committee which organized and spearheaded the building of the Stittsville District Community Centre, now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. Ab also coached local ball and hockey teams. This park naming continues an initiative by City of Ottawa -- Stittsville Ward Coun. Shad Qadri to name municipal spaces and parks after those whose efforts and contributions helped build the Stittsville community over the years. This not only honours these individuals, but also helps those who live in the community today or who will live in the community in the future to know about those who helped build the community which exists today. A plaque identifying this park on Rosehill Avenue as Albert Argue Black Park will be placed on a boulder at the park where it can be seen by visitors.

New cycling route Consider a bicycle club Munster Canada Day Extravaganza July 1 Special to the News
One of the city’s newly created rural cycling routes travels through Goulbourn. The city has developed nine new rural cycling routes to open up the nature and culture of the rural areas of the city to cyclists. The routes all provide a quiet alternative to the busier major roads that connect rural Ottawa to the city’s downtown area. There are also three rural cycling routes that use major pathways in the rural areas such as the Trans Canada Trail. This new cycling route in Goulbourn is named “Munster Meander.” It is 50 kilometres in total distance and is geared to cyclists with experience that could be termed moderate and above. The route passes by the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners with its exhibits about Goulbourn’s early history as a military settlement and also passes the Old Mill Restaurant and Pub at Ashton. The Jabulani Vineyard and Winery on Jock Trail, west of Richmond, is also on the route. Other cycling routes which have been developed by the city for the rural areas include routes in Kanata, Munster, Manotick, Osgoode and Cumberland. All of these cycling routes are self-guided, with tour maps available.
Special to the News
If you are interested in cycling, you might consider joining the Kanata-Nepean Bicycle Club (KNBC). This is a volunteer-based group that focuses on social, recreational bicycle touring. The KNBC welcomes men and women of all ages and abilities. Cycling is a great aerobic workout that engages the legs, increases cardiovascular fitness and is easy on the joints. The KNBC utilizes a variety of speed levels geared to a cyclist’s comfort level and ability. Each ride has a tour leader who reviews the route and safety practices and assigns a “sweep” who rides behind the group to ensure that no cyclist gets left behind. Safety is one of the top reasons to join a club such as the
KNBC as cyclists are more visible when riding in a group. The club provides an orientation for new members on cycling safely on the road. It also offers more formal courses on cycling safety through Cycling Canada’s CanBike program. If a problem occurs such as a flat tire, there is usually someone in the group who can fix it. Riding with a group also allows the new cyclist the freedom to ride new routes without worrying about navigation. The KNBC rides on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays as well as on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The Club has a guest rider policy that allows prospective members to experience what it’s like to be on a group ride. For more information about the KNBC, please email info@ knbc.ca.

‘Summer Solstice’ theme by monika jain Special to the News
The Stittsville Toastmasters Club celebrated the first day of summer at its June 21 meeting with the theme “Summer Solstice.” It was also National Indigenous Peoples Day. Anthea Odai picked “benevolent” as the word of the day while Monika Jain was the toastmaster for the meeting. Leo Tao provided the opening thought while Jean Vickers presented a toast to “Fun Summer.” Jean Vickers also presented a speech entitled “Memory

Decline” about how memory works and what factors contribute to its decline. Carla Gajdecki, who joined the Toastmasters a year ago, achieved her goal of finishing her ten-project CC manual within a year. She presented a speech entitled “Cross to Bear or Driving Force.” It was not only an evening for Carla’s personal achievement, but also an evening for the club’s achievement as it met its goal of earning the title of “distinguished club.” The table topics segment was led by Helene Rivest who played the role of a TV show host, asking the question “What special tradition do you have to celebrate the Summer Solstice in your club?” Club members were to represent clubs in different countries. Lori Holloway claimed the table topics trophy with her tradition from France. Rick Holloway and Sandra Gloss evaluated the speeches while Lori Holloway evaluated the various roles assumed for the evening.

Our next meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee is on Thursday, July 6th. It will be the last meeting of the Committee until the first week of September. As usual, we meet at Ben Franklin Place in the old Nepean Council Chambers and the meeting begins at 10:00am. Agenda items include: Zoning Amendment: 5514 Manotick Main Street Zoning Amendment: 4711 Rockdale Road Zoning Amendment: 1260 Loeper Street Zoning Amendment: 9391 Parkway Road Zoning Amendment: 1353 Scharfgate Drive Road Allowance Closure between 1792 & 1818 Old Prescott Road Appointment of Engineer: Tompkins Diversion Municipal Drain There is an additional item on the agenda that is sensitive in nature and will be discussed In Camera. It involves a litigious matter dealing with a property in Osgoode Ward. Only two of the agenda items emanate from Rideau-Goulbourn and they are both zoning applications within the village of Manotick. 5514 Manotick Main Street is a new three storey office/ commercial building at the corner of Bridge Street and Manotick Main Street. 1353 Scharfgate is a development application from Cavanagh and John Gerard Homes in the pre-existing development off of First Line Road. The address is misleading as the current property does not, and will not, have access onto Scharfgate Drive.
U-Rock Music School’s concert Specisl to the News
Songs by Canadian artists were featured at the 14th annual U-Rock Music School’s summer concert on June 24. While the song Rolling In the Deep by British songstress Adele was included in the program, sung by 12-year-old Julia Dukes, the program otherwise was largely filled with songs by Canadian singers or groups, quite fitting as Canada approaches its 150th birthday this coming Saturday, July 1. Another exception was the song When I’m Gone by American singer Anna Kendrick which was sung by Ellie Medaglia. Uptown Funk, a song associated with American singer Bruno Mars, was played by drummer Arnav Katoch while the 2016 hit Say You Won’t Let
Go by British singer James Arthur was sung by Jacob Chhom. Milla Ellison, 8, opened the concert with a bilingual rendition of O Canada with three U-Rock alumni students, then taking to the stage to present a trio of Canadian songs — Red Hands by Walk Off The Earth, Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams and Ahead By A Century by the Tragically Hip. These three alumni were Chris Blackstone on vocals and guitar from 2011, Hailey Kruze on vocals from 2013 and Sarah Culbert from 2015. From these veteran performers, the concert then switched to the U-Rock Music School’s youthful all-girl singing group the Roxies whose nine members range in age from 6 years old through 10 years old. The
Roxies sang Call Me Maybe from Carly-Rae Jepsen and Wild Things by Alessia Cara. Members of the Roxies are Arlet Badia, Ria Nikolova, Marley Ellacott, Maggie Scott, Fiona Whelan, Aloe Bates, Avery Rumsey, Maki Martin and Lindsay Cote. Later in the concert, U-Rock Music School’s teen band the Crushers performed a trio of songs from the songbooks of Fall Out Boy, Hedley and Mariana’s Trench. Members of the Crushers are Kyler Villeneuve on drums, Catherine Hnatiw and Bradley Johnstone on guitar, Jasmine Beavis and Samantha Clarke on vocals and Brodie Paton on bass. See MOST SONGS, page 27
The agenda and associated reports can be found online at Ottawa.ca. RVCA Conducting Hazard Mapping Studies During the last five years, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has been conducting several hazard mapping studies on watercourses within the City of Ottawa and the RVCA area of jurisdiction. For some watercourses, old mapping will be updated; and for others, hazards maps will be created for the first time. Studies look at identifying two main types of hazards along the watercourses: flood risk and slope stability risk. These studies are being done through a collaboration involving the City of Ottawa and the Rideau Valley, Mississippi Valley and South Nation Conservation Authorities. The City recognized a need to update its zoning schedules based on up-to-date flood risk mapping, and has provided contributions enabling the Conservation Authorities to move ahead with these studies sooner than would otherwise be possible. Slope stability studies make use of new, highly detailed topographic data to identify toe and top of slope. This information is used to create an allowance area that serve as a flag of potentially unstable slope areas. Currently, the RVCA is focusing its efforts on the following streams: • Flowing Creek (Flewellyn Road to Jock River) • Hobbs Drain (Fallowfield Road to Jock River) • Kings Creek (Brunton Side Road to Jock River) • Nichols Creek (Montague Boundary Road to Jock River) • Rideau River (Hogs Back to Kars) • Rideau River (Kars to Burritts Rapids) Historical records, news clippings, photographs and local anecdotal stories and memories of past flood events can be useful in confirming the reasonableness of the calculations and resulting floodplain mapping. Local residents with this kind of information are encouraged to share their information and knowledge with RVCA’s Ferdous Ahmed (613-692-3571 ext. 1170 or ferdous.ahmed@rvca.ca). Those interested in learning more about the project or being included on our contact list are also encouraged to contact the RVCA. Once the technical work for individual study areas is complete and hazard mapping has been prepared, a public information session will be held to collect public feedback. Any new information or comments will be taken into consideration in further refinement of the mapped hazard limits. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491. For information on Rideau-Goulbourn issues, please visit RideauGoulbourn.ca.

2nd SECTION
Celebrating Giver show episode at Hurley’s the Giver show on TVO and, more specifically, the Giver episode about the building of the giant playground at Mooney’s Bay in Ottawa in which Ben was one of the young builders involved. The playground was built last summer, with various groups of youth helping build different section of the
playground which features areas for each province and territory in Canada. Ben was involved in building the Nunavut section of the playground. Two TV screens were turned to the Giver show at Hurley’s at 6 p.m. on June 21 when the episode about the construction of the Nunavut section of the playground was shown. This
was the first time that the episode was aired. Ben and his friends and parents filled a section of Hurley’s where they watched the show while enjoying some of Hurley’s food offerings. It was, in every sense of the word, a party! During the course of the show, the six youth members of the build crew

Sinking Ship Entertainment produced this playground building series for TVO. Before the viewing of the episode began, Ben who is a Grade 4 student at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville, admitted that taking part in this playground construction and video project will be something that he will always remember. He admitted to being a little anxious to see the episode which had been filmed last summer. Ben was chosen as one of six youth from across Canada cast in the Nunavut episode of the Giver TV show on TVO Kids which was filmed last summer.

‘Who is Nobody’ social justice fair
West Ottawa Living
Special to the News
Westwind Public School in Stittsville was filled with the sounds of excited Grade 6 students and the smell of delicious baked goods on Thursday, June 22 as the school held its 'Who is Nobody?' social justice fair. The annual fair is designed to get Grade 6 students to "be the change they wish to see in the world," as Ghandi stated. Students are asked to choose their favourite charitable cause and then volunteer, raise awareness, and raise money to support their cause's mission. Each student created a poster and presentation about their volunteer experience to share with other students at the fair which took place in the Westwind Public School gym. Collectively, the Grade 6 students contributed 106 volunteer hours and raised almost $12,000 through their charitable efforts. Laura Bond, a teacher at Westwind Public School, organized a bake sale to accompany the all-day event with proceeds going to build the Flor de Sacuanjoche classroom in Nicaragua through the local charity SchoolBOX. Bond will travel to Nica-
ragua with her two sons later this summer as part of a volunteer team calling itself "Little Bricks." The Bond family will help build a new classroom for primary school students in an impoverished Nicaraguan community. When asked about the meaning behind the name Little Bricks, Bond explained that, "Each cement brick added to the new classroom contributes to making it a safe and secure structure for the students to learn in. Every little brick counts." For Bond and her sons, this will be an eye-opening experience and a chance to see the real-life impact that their fundraising efforts can have in the lives of deserving kids. By the end of the school day on June 22, Bond's bake sale raised $1300 for SchoolBOX and the Flor de Sacuanjoche classroom. Bond commented that, "As a teacher, I have always valued the importance of education in both creating opportunities and in contributing to the development of an economically sound society. We have such an incredible education sys-
tem, and structures in place to provide a comfortable learning space. I recognize it is a privilege my sons can’t quite comprehend having never known it any other way. It is our goal to pay it forward this July by helping, in our small way, to bring the opportunity of education to a country that needs our help." SchoolBOX is committed to ‘Making Education Possible’ for the children of Nicaragua. SchoolBOX implements cost effective programming by building schools, providing school supplies, libraries, and teacher training. SchoolBOX has built 84 classrooms, and 54 libraries in Nicaragua and serves over 18,000 students and teachers in 96 communities on an annual basis. In 2017, they hope to implement their first library project in a northern Ontario Indigenous community. SchoolBOX is comprised of thousands of people from different faiths and socioeconomic backgrounds. It empowers educators and students and they in turn empower their communities and help change the world.

Four creeks emptying into the Jock River at or upstream from Richmond are among eight watercourses in the City of Ottawa on which the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority is conducting hazard mapping studies. These hazard mapping studies are focusing on Flowing Creek from Flewellyn Road to the Jock River; Hobbs Drain from the Fallowfield Road to the Jock River; Kings Creek from Brunton Side Road to the Jock River; and Nichols Creek from the Montague Boundary Road to the Jock River. Other streams being studied include Becketts Creek from Sarsfield Road to the Ottawa River, Bilberry Creek from Innes Road to the Ottawa River, the Rideau River from Hogs Back to Kars and the Rideau River from Kars to Burritts Rapids. When completed, this new flood risk mapping will be used by the City of Ottawa when updating its Official Plan and zoning bylaws and in the review of development applications under the Planning Act. Conservation Authorities in turn will use the same flood risk mapping as well as slope stability risk in the administration and enforcement of regulations made under the Conservation Authorities Act. These hazard mapping studies will make use of contemporary methods in hydrologic and
hydraulic analysis, all the available historical records of stream flow and/or water level and the most up-to-date topographical data to produce estimates of the 1:100 year flood discharge and corresponding water surface elevations and flood lines for these watercourses. The resulting flood risk maps will identify areas along the watercourses that are vulnerable to flooding and where new development is to be restricted or prohibited in accordance with provincial planning policies. Besides looking at flood risk hazards, these studies will also look at slope stability risk. These slope stability studies will make use of new highly detailed topographic data to identify toe and top of slope. This information will be used to create an allowance area that will serve as a flag of potentially unstable slope areas. These studies are being down through a collaboration involving the City of Ottawa and the Rideau Valley, Mississippi Valley and South Nation Conservation Authorities. The city recognized a need to update its zoning schedules based on up-to-date flood risk mapping and has provided contributions enabling the Conservation Authorities to move ahead with these studies sooner than would otherwise be possible.

Historical records, news clippings, photographs and local anecdotal stories and memories of past flood events can be useful in confirming the reasonableness of the calculations and resulting flood plain mapping from these studies. Local residents with this kind of information are encourage to share their information and knowledge with Ferdous Ahmed of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority at 1-800-267-3504 or 613-692-3571, ext. 1170 or via email at ferdous.ahmed@rvca.ca.
Those interested in learning more about the project or being included in a contact list about the project should contact the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority at 1-800-267-3504 or at 613-692-3571. Once the technical work for the individual study areas is completed and the hazard mapping has been prepared, a public information session will be held to collect public feedback. Any new information or comments arising from this season will be taken into consideration in further refinement of the mapped hazard limits.

A NEW CHAPTER IS UNFOLDING AT
QUEENSWAY CARLETON HOSPITAL 2017 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY • SUPPLEMENT Do you remember Expo 67? Gordon Lightfoot’s Canadian Railroad Trilogy, or the lighting of the Centennial Flame. The hundreds of centennial projects that broke ground across the country. Canada’s centennial year was a year of celebration; a year of remembering the past, but also building for the future. 50 years on, as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary, Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) is embarking on a new chapter of its own, having just marked its 40th anniversary year. We have a vision to transform our hospital, laying a foundation for a generation to come.
ENHANCING MORE THAN JUST SPACE
SEIZING THE MOMENT With the newly launched Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly Unit, and a revamped Emergency Department, QCH has had much to celebrate this year. But we’ve really only just begun. In April 2017, QCH received approval for a new Mental Health expansion and renovation, made possible through QCH Foundation’s Hopes Rising campaign, and provincial government funding. With groundbreaking on the horizon, and units due to be shuffled, we’re seizing the moment to revamp the remainder of our original 1976 hospital space – the original building that opened its doors to this community some 40 years ago. 34 Stittsville News - Thursday, June 29, 2017
We’re preparing for a full transformation from the original building design, with increased natural light, accessible washrooms, glare free flooring, and enhanced technology for optimal patient care and comfort. We’re integrating what we’ve learned through the success of our ACE Unit, and enhancing our space unit-by-unit. It’s a major undertaking, renovating three inpatient units and our mental health unit; we are scheduled to break ground this year and wrap up by 2020.
This year, QCH is also improving one of its busiest services in diagnostic imaging. Every year, QCH performs some 7500 mammograms, helping to detect breast cancer faster, when it is most treatable. As demand from our community increases, we are seeking support for new, advanced 3D mammography technology, the gold standard in breast imaging. This his new technology will allow us to screen more people and offer enhanced imaging, improving diagnoses. It’s all part of preparing for the future, and we’re committed to enhancing both our physical space and our care to do just that.
As we celebrate our nation’s 150th anniversary, we also say thank you to our community for supporting QCH for the past 40 years. As Canada looks towards the future, QCH is building for our community to be able to provide you and your family with the best possible care when you need us most.

t wasn’t a wise decision on Mother’s part. Sending me and Emerson to pick chokecherries together was not a good idea. Emerson, older than I am by six years, spent most of his spare time trying to make my life miserable. Behind Mother’s back, of course. “You know, don’t you, you can choke to death if you eat a chokecherry and drink milk at the same time,” Emerson said, as we headed out with our little honey pails for the cluster of trees strewn along the fence of one of our back fields. Well, I didn’t like milk, so my chance of coming to an untimely death in such a fashion was pretty remote. But Emerson kept up a steady chatter about how dangerous it was, and he knew for a fact that one young fellow from the Barr Line dropped in his tracks and all it took was a couple of chokecherries and a sip of milk. Of course, he couldn’t come up with a name. We reached the bushes flushed from the heat of the day, and started picking the fruit. It was easy to just grasp a loaded sprig between your thumb and finger, pull gently, and the whole cluster would fall into the pail. So, it didn’t take long to fill the three honey pails ... mine, Emerson’s, and the one tied to his braces. All the way back to the house, Emerson kept talking about the fatal effect of eating a berry and drinking even a sip of milk. Well, I didn’t believe him for one minute! My brother had a special talent for dreaming up schemes, many of which were planned to scare the living daylights out of me, but I was pretty sure Mother would never expose us to such a danger in the first place, and I told him so. “I don’t believe you for one minute, Emerson Haneman,” I said as we neared the backyard. Emerson put his pails down on the ground and hurried into the house and soon came out with a tin cup, which I was pretty sure was cold water from the ice box. “You don’t believe me? Well, you just watch this, and you better be ready to call Mother so she can get a call into Dr. Murphy, because you’ve seen the last of me.” He took out a handful of chokecherries from one of the pails, tossed them into his mouth, and said, “This is milk ... now you just watch.” I screamed for him to stop just in case what he had been saying all along had a grain of truth in it. But it was too late. Down the hatch went
MARY COOK Memories the chokecherries, and then he took a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. There was no doubt about it. And I was completely responsible, for not believing him! I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-water, but took the tin cup off the nail-hook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle. Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! He was as mad as a hatter, and, as was his habit, he would kick anything within distance when he got riled up, he was looking for something to put his boot to. Audrey had the common sense to grab the two pails of chokecherries, I grabbed mine, and we headed into the house. Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville on July 1 Special to the News
You can enjoy Canada Day Stittsville style with a day of celebrations, continuing a tradition that has grown up over the years. Once again, it will be a familyfriendly, village-style celebration, offering an option to those who want to celebrate the country’s 150th birthday while remaining close to home and marking the occasion with friends and neighbours. In honour of Canada’s 150th year, this year’s celebrations will get underway two hours earlier than usual, namely at 1 p.m. It’s all happening on the grounds of Sacred Heart Catholic High School, at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road in Stittsville. There will be an opening ceremoFOR SALE
ny at 1 p.m., complete with a Royal Canadian Legion colour party and the singing of O Canada, followed by remarks from dignitaries like Stittsville ward Coun. Shad Qadri. Just as in past years, there will also be a giant Canada Day birthday cake for everyone to enjoy. The afternoon will see live music and entertainment on the Cavanagh Construction stage, while the grounds will be busy with horse and wagon rides; the Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary petting zoo; facepainting; legion stations; inflatables; games; balloon twisting; a juggler; a Confederation-themed photo booth, thanks to the Goulbourn Museum; and a food court, courtesy of JoJo’s Pizza, Pong’s Poutine and the

Knights of Columbus. As always, everything but the food will be free, thanks to local business sponsors and grants from the City of Ottawa as well as the federal Canadian Heritage Department. Stage entertainment will include such performers as Vicki Brittle; David DaCosta; Jimmy Leroux; Dianne and Steve Lynch; Lisa Kopil; The L.A. Connection; Andrew Waines; and Rob Sands and Hardcover. The celebrations will continue from the afternoon into the evening. At 7:30 p.m., Lyndon Slewidge — renowned for his singing of the national anthem at Ottawa Senators home games — will kick off the evening portion of the celebrations with his rendition of O Canada.

As dusk settles and the gala fireworks show nears, red glow sticks will be handed out to everyone. The celebrations will wrap up with a fireworks show at 9:45 p.m. sharp, sponsored by Mattamy Homes. These annual Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville are organized and hosted by the Stittsville Village Association. Besides these celebrations at the Sacred Heart Catholic High School site, the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion is also hosting Canada Day celebrations, which are open to everyone in the community. These Canada Day activities will begin at 2 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. There will be barbecued hamFOR SALE

burgers and hotdogs for sale, as well as live entertainment featuring Corey and the Krow. The live music will happen from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and then again from 8:30 p.m. to closing. Everyone in the community is welcome to drop in and celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. These celebrations will follow a morning that will see the annual Canada Day breakfast for seniors held at the Ottawa Fire Services fire station on Stittsville Main Street. Those attending have had to make reservations to attend through the office of Stittsville ward Coun. Shad Qadri, as there is always way more demand to attend this breakfast than there is space to accommodate everyone who might want to attend. FOR SALE

Ottawa will be red, white and busy all over this July 1 The city’s biggest party of the year will keep the Canada Day festivities going for three days. From June 30 to July 2 Canadian Heritage will once again host the day and evening shows, which will take place at three official sites: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa, and the Canadian Museum of History. Extra screening will take place to get on Parliament Hill — with checkpoints and bag-checks. Revellers looking to take in the festivities are being warned to get there early. On June 30, Major’s Hill Park and the Canadian Museum of History will have special programming.

On Canada Day, celebrations will run from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. A carillon concert and pop-up performances begin at 9 a.m. The Inspection of the Guard at 11:40 a.m. will take place at the Peacekeeping Monument on Sussex Drive near the National Gallery of Canada and promises to be a different experience than the usual Changing of the Guard, which takes place on Parliament Hill in the summer. There will be a 21-gun salute and an air show includ-
ing the Snowbirds and CF-18s. Dignitaries will be on hand during the celebrations, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gov. Gen.

Canada Day at Petrie Island is back after it was moved away to the Navan fairgrounds and then cancelled in early 2016. “It’s been very impressive to see so many different corners of the community come together,” said Adam Polka, the director of communications for Orléans Canada Day. “It’s pretty clear that Orléans was ready to get Canada Day back.” The barbecue festival and craft beer tent will open at Petrie Island on Friday and run through Sunday. The barbecue festival, organized by the team who put together Orléans Ribfest, will run alongside the beer tent June 30 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., all day Canada Day, and July 2 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. While the food and beer will be served for a whole weekend, the entertainment and fireworks will be on July 1 as residents celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Polka said they are “sparing no expense”
when it comes to putting on the fireworks show which will start at 10 p.m. Entertainment will start at 11 a.m. that day, with a Carivibe DJ party kicking things off. The KidZone will be open until 5 p.m., with the official opening ceremony at 1 p.m. Concerts from Ottawa artists including Wise Young and King, Capital Beetles, and headliner Tribe Royal will carry the party through to the fireworks when the Carivibe DJ party will return to the stage.
“We’ve got a really nice family-friendly schedule, combined with a great foodie and beer schedule,” Polka said. OC Transpo is free on Canada Day and a shuttle service will be offered until 8 p.m. from the Trim Road park-and-ride and the Orléans La Cité Collegiale campus. The shuttle will resume after the fireworks. Reserved accessible parking is available on the island and VIP passes are for sale for $100, which includes food for four people and a parking pass.

tivity area with games for children of all ages. The Kidz Zone stage will host child friendly acts and a four-day midway held from June 29 to July 2 has
games, food and all kinds of amusement. A new addition to the celebration is the Kids Zone Gym Area. Kidz Zone activities include bubble soccer, human foosball, a hockey radar challenge, Maple the Cow, Home Depot crafts, circus workshop and many more. The gym area will run between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will consist of interactive events hosted by groups, businesses and athletes from the area.

Instead the idea for an interactive, fitness-based section was conceived and added to the Kidz Zone. Other new additions to the celebration include a classic car show and also performances by live, local bands on stage on June 30 for a pre-Canada Day celebration.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Nelliya but comforted by the beauty of hearts and the spirit of community that we have witnessed. Words cannot express our gratitude to the Ottawa Police for the tremendous work they did in their search for Nelliya and her beloved dog. We know that in addition to their professionalism and expertise, each one of them put their heart and soul into this effort. From the very bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank the Stittsville and Kanata communities and all the volunteers who came together to search for Nelliya. Our sincere appreciation and gratitude extends to search and rescue volunteers, our neighbours, friends and colleagues, Stittsville Moms and Kanata Moms Facebook groups, Yogatown and Prana Shanti Yoga communities, Blessed St. Xenia of Petersburg Cathedral, Protection of the Holy Virgin Memorial Church, the media and everyone who has helped us throughout this hard time.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
June 29, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Next Phases for Blackstone Development Proposed The City of Ottawa has received applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, as well as a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit the construction of the next phases of the Blackstone subdivision. The subject lands are located in the southeast corner of the Fernbank Community and are approximately 42.5 hectares in size and are currently vacant with some vegetation and trees. Mattamy Homes and Cardel Homes proposed to develop the subject lands with approximately 950 residential dwellings. The plan of subdivision proposes approximately 425 lots for detached dwellings and 27 blocks for townhouses. The townhouses are primarily located along the future collector streets and in the southerly portion of the subdivision, close to Fernbank Road. One high density block for condominium apartments or stacked units is proposed at the southeast corner of Fernbank Road and Rouncey Road. The Blackstone development will incorporate a number of open space amenities including, two 1-hectare parks hectare parks, one of the southwest corner of the site and one in the southeast. Pathway blocks will provide connections to the Monahan Drain, the parks, and the two school sites. A stormwater management block will be located in the northeast corner of the site, immediately south of the Monahan Drain. An Ottawa Carleton District School Board elementary school site is proposed at the southwest corner of Cope Drive and Rouncey Road, and an Ottawa Catholic School Board high school site is proposed at the southeast corner of the subdivision, adjacent to the existing commercial development. The proposed street network is based on the Fernbank Community Design Plan. Through the subdivision Cope Drive, Tapadero Avenue, and Rouncey Road will be extended. A roundabout will be located at the intersection of Cope Drive and Rouncey Road. I am pleased to see these next phases of development proposed as it includes additional amenities that will be beneficial to the community including the extension of Cope Road, a safer pedestrian access for area residents to access the commercial shopping area, additional parks and pathways as well as some proposed schools. To provide comments by July 14 or for questions please contact my office and City Planner Kathy Rygus at Kathy.Rygus@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 x28318. A public meeting will also be held at a later date which will also provide another opportunity for the public to provide input as well. For additional planning documents regarding the application including images, the application summary, plan of subdivision, planning rational, and transporation impact study, please visit ShadQadri.com. Upgrade to Carp Rd Park and Ride Both Councillor Scott Moffatt and I are happy to announce that the existing Carp Rd Park and Ride facility will soon be receiving an upgraded paved surface. This will hopefully allow for an improved customer experience, by eliminating mud and puddles while delineating accessibility and other spaces with pavement markings. The number of parking spots will also be increased, from approximately 115 spaces to approximately 150 spaces. This is great news as we know that many residents rely on this Park and Ride for service and the increased number of spaces will help to accommodate demand. Our offices have been made aware of the recent thefts that have occurred at this location as well as the demand for cameras. Please note that we are looking into the possibility of adding security cameras to this location. While unfortunately, at this time, cameras are not planned as part of these upgrades, we will continue investigating the feasibility of adding these and will share updates with the community as they come. Thanks to all residents who raised concerns with my office as well as Councillor Moffatt’s office. As always, we welcome your feedback on OC Transpo and encourage you to report concerns with service to me at Shad.qadri@ottawa.ca and OC Transpo at customerfeedback.octranspo.com. 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.

More of what’s happening around Stittsville
Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Canada 150 We will soon celebrate the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Dominion of Canada as a constitutional monarchy. Monarchy in Canada goes back even further to the founding of New France, more than 400 years ago. But our constitution is even older than that. All our rights and freedoms, as well as our duties and responsibilities, reach back 800 years to the signing of Magna Carta in 1215 – which is the foundation of every successful democracy in the Western world. We can be proud of the ancient rights and responsibilities of citizenship, together with the history, symbols, and institutions that give us our identity. But we must remember that freedom isn’t free. We must remember those who have fought for Canada both at home and abroad – whether in heated debates in Parliament or on the battle fields of Afghanistan, Juno Beach, or Vimy Ridge. So today let’s cherish our values and traditions while honouring our freedoms and responsibilities, and let’s keep building a better, stronger Canada!

Other organizations like the Kanata Legion and the Kemptville Lions are already involved in this raffle pilot project by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The tickets would be sold at various outlets around the community. This pilot project by the AGCO allows eligible charitable organizations to conduct and manage this Catch the Ace progressive (accumulating jackpot) raffle lottery program. This new program has come about as a result of consultations with stakeholders by the AGCO) Catch the Ace is a progressive raffle lottery that is a multiple-draw game in which participants purchase tickets for a chance to win a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of tickets from one draw as well as a chance to win
a progressive (cumulative) jackpot by selecting a card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. If the Ace of Spaces is selected, the person will win the progressive jackpot. *There’s two commemorative naming proposals involving future parks in Stittsville about which the city of Ottawa is now seeking input from the public. One is a proposal to name a future park in the Porter Place development in southwest Stittsville as the William Bradley Park. William “Bill” Bradley operated the Bradley General Store (and subsequent grocery store) in Stittsville for 46 years. He was also a key member of Stittsville’s volunteer fire department for years. The other proposal is to name a future park located within the Potter’s Key subdivision (north of Hazeldean Road and immediately west of the Jackson Trails community) as the Allan Frederick Moore Park. Mr. Moore was born and raised in Ottawa, served in the navy in the First World War and worked as a lawyer in Ottawa from the 1930s until his passing in 1969. As a lawyer, Mr. Moore was involved in many major real estate transactions in Ottawa throughout his career. The city of Ottawa is seeking public input about these proposals. *There’s a sunflower growing contest at the new Community Garden behind Jo-Jo’s Pizza on Stittsville Main Street.

little farther away was the Carp Farmers’ Market. There was also a big horse show happening all weekend. The tennis courts were filled with people playing. The splash pad had many little kids going though all the water interactive features under the watchful eyes of their parents. Then, under many big trees were families sitting on blankets having a picnic while taking in all the action around them. At both diamonds were all the players, officials, parents, fans, ground crew and volunteers. At that moment, my thought was “Wow, this is a slice of life in Canada!” I love this country and I’m so grateful to be Canadian. We are so lucky and days like that are only one small example of what’s great about our country. Happy Canada Day, everyone. Helene Rivest Stittsville

‘Nana’s Hug Garden’ at Saunders Farm memorializes the late Anne Saunders and her cookies, hugs and impact Special to the News
It’s in a place where you can hear the sounds of children playing. It’s circular in nature, like you are receiving a giant hug. It’s set beside a pond with views of play areas and an iconic ‘mountain.’ It features swinging garden benches. And its focal point is a colourful garden, highlighted with a blue hydrangea. The late Anne Saunders of Saunders Farm would have felt right at home in this spot at Saunders Farm at Munster. Indeed, it was created by her husband Bill and the Saunders family of Saunders Farm to capture what Anne had always loved and encouraged in her life — the sound of children playing, the beauty of nature, flowers in a garden and nature itself in all its glory. You can now sit there and look over at Witch Mountain where Anne and Bill Saunders spent many an evening together, looking out over the place that they had created with their family. And there’s significance to that blue hydrangea in the middle of the garden because blue was Anne’s favourite colour and the hydrangea was her favourite flower. And, of course, no mention of Anne would be complete without reference to her omnipresent hugs which she would warmly give to anyone on meeting them. Indeed, the whole welcoming atmosphere at Saunders Farm, where families are encouraged to have fun on attractions set in the farm’s natural beauty, can be traced to Anne’s hugs. She loved that people could come
together and enjoy themselves at Saunders Farm and she was always there with a welcoming hug. That’s why it just seemed so fitting to the Saunders family that a lasting memorial on the farm to Anne should be called “Nana’s Hug Garden.” It was officially unveiled, as it were, at a brief ceremony at Saunders Farm in Munster on June 25, with several hundred friends of the Saunders family in attendance. All four children of Bill and Anne Saunders were in attendance — Mark, who is Director of Fun at Saunders Farm, Matt, David and Vicki, along with their spouses, their children and Uncle Peter Henry. Even Pumpkin, Anne’s dog who has now become the farm’s dog, was on stage as both Bill and son Matt presented thoughts about Anne and her influence on the development of Saunders Farm and of the Saunders family. She was extolled for her positive attitude and always looking after people, whether they were the youngsters in her care during her 33 year teaching career or visitors to Saunders Farm. She had an amazing way with children, including her own eight grandchildren. She was instrumental in the development of Saunders Farm, right from the very first work parties which cleaned up the farm after purchase as it became a strawberry farm before it developed to the farm tourism attraction that it is today. See ANNE’S COOKIES, page 53
Anne’s cookies were almost as good as her hugs Continued from page 52
Anne was known for her amazing cooking which was always a treat for those who helped out there. And she was even better known for her cookies which she made in big batches, lots and lots
of them. And were they good! Almost as good as her hugs, son Matt says. She helped develop the various attractions at Saunders Farm including the farm’s Haunting Season and its current status as an entertainment farm.
Anne and husband Bill loved to travel, seeing many countries around the world. And as the June 25 ceremony on the stage at Saunders Farm came to an end, the raindrops that had been threatening started coming down, taken as a sign that it was Nana Anne up above giving a sign that enough had been said and it was time to get on with things. The family and friends in attendance quickly assembled in the nearby Saunders Farm pavilion where they did what Anne always did — welcome and chat with each other and dispense a few hugs around the crowd. That was Anne’s way. That’s the Saunders Farm way. And it’s a way that Submitted is now memorialized right on the farm in “Nana’s Hug Bill and Anne Saunders of Garden.” Saunders Farm at Munster.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Equestrian shows at Westar Farms in July Special to the News
Westar Farms familiar competitions are the Trillium and Bronze Hunter/Jumper weekend shows. The first Trillium and Bronze Hunter/Jumper shows at Westar Farms were held on the weekend of June 10/11, with Trillium and Bronze/Hunter Jumper shows to be held again on the weekend of July 8/9. The final Derby Day Bronze show will be held on Sunday, September 17. Bronze shows are regional level and Trillium (silver) is provincial. Both tiers draw horses and riders from as far away as Pembroke, Kingston and Gatineau with more than 200 horses in attendance on any given show weekend. Jumping classes are judged on style and technique in the hunter and eq-
uitation divisions, or speed and agility in the jumper divisions. Riders range in age from eight to 60-plus and there will be ponies as well as horses in the four show rings. Admission is free to all Westar equestrian events. Refreshments are available and many of the shows feature a trade fair of local craftspeople and vendors. Sponsorship plays a big role in being able to offer prize money in many of the classes and helping to offset the costs of upgrades to the horse show facility. This year Westar has offered a new means for sponsors to promote their business on the actual show jumps, with their company name or logo on either side of the jumper ring jumps. Many local businesses have either purchased jump sig-
