Stittsville residents have a few more days to comment on a proposed development that would add hundreds of new housing units as part of the next phase of the Blackstone subdivision. The City of Ottawa has received applications for a draft plan of subdivision and a zoning bylaw amendment to permit the construction of the next phases of the Blackstone subdivision in the southeast corner of the Fernbank community. The area in question is approximately 42.5 hectares of and is currently vacant with some vegetation and trees. According to the city, Mattamy Homes and Cardel Homes proposed to develop the lands with approximately 950 residential dwellings. The plan of subdivision proposes approximately 425 lots for detached dwellings and 27 blocks for town-
houses. The proposed townhouses are mainly located along future collector streets and in the southern 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. OVERALL BENEFIT

Ride for Autism revs up to give girl, 9, a thrill Ride in Stittsville for 2nd year BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
A nine-year-old girl will get her motor running and head out on the open road when the fifth annual Motorcycle Ride for Autism rumbles out from the parking lot at the Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville Saturday morning, July 8. This year a father, who asked that his daughter’s last name not be published, will be bringing his daughter, Anika, on the ride with him for the first time. Anika is on the autism spectrum. “She’s quite excited that her father will be taking her. It is quite an event for her. This is her first time going on the ride, and it’s quite a long route. She’ll be going for four hours or more,” said Suzanne Jacobson, who is the founder of the Kanata-based QuickStart Autism. Last year the Motorcycle Ride for Autism, Ottawa raised $16,000 and this year the goal is to bring in $20,000. “It’s a fundraiser and also an awareness event about auSubmitted tism,” Jacobson said. This is the second year in a row that the event, which Nine-year-old Anika, who is on the started in Kanata, has been staged at Brown’s Your Inde- autism spectrum, will ride with her pendent Grocer in Stittsville. father during the Ride for Autism.
Stittsville roads up for repair work Resurfacing work is planned for three Stittsville roads after the city recently agreed to top up its road services operating budget repairs program and city-wide road resurfacing project. The Stittsville locations in line for work this year are Abbott St. at Stittsville Main, Carp Rd. at McCooye and Hobin St. at Renshaw. They were selected in consultation with Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri’s office. — Brian Dryden
Look inside for the
The reason for the shift to Stittsville for the past two years is that the event has grown over the years and organizers needed a larger venue to accomodate all the motorcyle riders that now take part in the event. Speakers at the event begin at 8:40 a.m. and the kickoff is at 9 a.m. with Mayor Jim Watson. The speakers this year are Brandon, a 9-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, and Charlotte, a 10-year-old girl on the autism spectrum. “Brandon and Charlotte are ambassadors for autism, and speakers who help raise awareness,” Jacobson said. Along with the ride, there will be plenty of activities during the day at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville (1251 Stittsville Main St.) during the day of the event. There will be a community barbecue, which starts at around 11:30 a.m. There will also by music that starts at about the same time of the barbecue and an auction to raise money. The motorcycle riders are expected to start returning to the Stittsville starting point at about 1 p.m. The Motorcycle Ride for Autism was started in 2013 by Dave Kuhnle, the grandfather of two girls with autism spectrum disorder. The funds raised benefit the charity, QuickStart - Early Intervention for Autism. To date the ride has raised $60,000, which is much needed. This past May alone, nine children applied for the charity’s KickStart Program that it funds at a level of $4,000 per child. QuickStart’s mission is to see that all children have equal opportunity to develop to their full potential through early intervention. All QuickStart programs are offered at no cost.

Shad Qadri’s ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex to get a Lyme disease kit put together by Ottawa Public Health (OPH) free of charge. “Each ‘kit’ includes a Lyme disease factsheet, which offers details related to the symptoms of Lyme Disease, tick removal processes, testing protocols and ways to prevent tick bites. The kits also include a tick key, which is designed to help remove any tick that may have attached themselves to a person, a family member, friend or pet,” said Qadri, who is chair of OPH. “I encourage all residents to pick up a tick-kit and be prepared for what to do in case you find a tick attached to you or your pets,” he said.

Local MP continues to raise issues about future hospital site BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Stittsville’s federal representative Carleton Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre continues to hammer away at the federal Liberal government over its role on where to build a new Ottawa Hospital Civic campus, a decision that scrapped a previous federal Conservative government plan that would have allowed the hospital to relocate to a new site at the Central Experimental Farm directly across from the existing Civic location. Poilievre says that the latest in a string of rising costs, delays, and challenges faced by the Ottawa Hospital since the Liberal government decided to change the location of the new Civic campus should prompt the federal government to rethink its position. “(T)he government confirmed that it is sticking the Ottawa Hospital with the bill for being located at the Sir John Carling site, despite that location being forced on the hospital by the government,” said Poilievre after receiving some answers to a string of questions he’s been asking about the site location. “This has just been one issue after another ever since the Liberal government decided to interfere in a location that was already studied, chosen, and approved— the big open field across
the street from the current Civic Campus,” Poilievre said of the Central Experimental Farm location that was originally targeted as the new site. According to Poilievre, the Sir John Carling site is a sloped surface, is contaminated and is located next to a fault line and contains more than 500 trees, making it a less than ideal location compared to the Central Experimental Farm location favoured by the previous Conservative federal government. Poilievre said the federal Liberal government’s prefered site comes with a plethora of extra costs associated with that location. “The federal government says those challenges will have to be paid for by the hospital,” said Poilivere, who was a key cabinet minister in the previous Conservative government. “The federal government does not know the cost to the hospital of all the delays that have mounted since federal Liberal minister Catherine McKenna intervened to block the hospital from building across the street from its existing location,” Poilievre said. “Once again, it is time for the federal government to get out of the way and allow the hospital to build where it originally chose: in the big open field across the street from the current Civic Campus,” Poilievre said. While Poilievre continues to dog
the Liberal federal government over the site selection, issues about the Sir John Carling site have been raised by others as well, such as the Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association, which has raised a number of concerns about traffic and safety in the area of the proposed new $2 billion Ottawa Hospital Civic campus. At a recent community consultation on June 20, Ottawa Hospital executive vice-president and chief operating officer Cameron Love spoke to about 30 people who attended the consultation to offer the surrounding community an update on the status of the multi-year planning process. PARKING CONCERNS
Parking will be a big issue for the surounding community as the project moves forward, said River Coun. Riley Brockington after the June meeting. “I think that will be a major issue — how will the Civic accommodate their parking needs and the needs of the whole community,” he said. With the hospital taking over land that is now a parking lot that is used when there are events at Dow’s Lake, the parking strategy will have to look at how to accommodate visitors to the nearby area as well, he told Metroland Media.
The hospital is continuing to work with Public Services and Procurement Canada on the details of a 99-year lease for the site. Love said he hopes to have the lease signed by Christmas of this year. “If the whole process is 1,000 steps, we are in the first five to 10,” Love said. Love addressed questions about integration with the community, the plans for the Heart Institute, consultations and what happens to the current building during the June 20 meeting. Love said the Heart Institute must be integrated into the new hospital in the future and a transition plan needs to be sorted out, but in terms of what’s next for the current hospital, it’s not top of mind at this point. “I’ve not thought anything about it,” Love said, adding there have been a lot of suggestions, pointing to the need for more long-term care or acute care for the elderly. In the fall, the hospital will receive a report from an external group detailing a public engagement framework. It will advise the hospital on the best way to engage the public, and the hospital plans to use it to plan its engagement strategy. The hospital is a large urban community development project, Love said. As a result, neighbourhood associations, hospital staff, health care
CARLETON MP PIERRE POILIEVRE providers, patients and families will need to be part of the development of the new facility. Patients and families will help shape what Love described as a significant part of the new hospital. The plan includes about seven acres (about three hectares) of wellness space. While no concrete plans have been made, as the design of the hospital won’t be unveiled until Stage 3 of planning, Love described one possible option being an outdoor amphitheatre. — with files from Melissa Murray

Unexpected visit from Kanata Muslims SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Stittsville United Church received an unexpected visit from members of the Kanata Muslim Association on Sunday, June 25. They came to deliver a gift of sweets and a letter of appreciation to Stittsville United Church for their support following the tragic shooting at the Quebec City Mosque in January 2017. June 25 was a special day for Mus-
lims around the world as they marked the end of the holy month of Ramadan by celebrating Eid al Fitr. Imam Sikander Ziad Hashmi and more than a dozen adults and children from the Muslim association took time on their holy day to visit a number of churches who had offered them support in recent months, including Stittsville United Church. The Kanata Muslim Association members happened to arrive during the time of the Sunday morning worship service and
were invited to the front of the sanctuary to bring greetings. In the days following the Quebec City mosque tragedy, Stittsville United Church prepared cards signed by adults and children from the congregation which were then sent to several members of the Muslim community in the Ottawa area and in Quebec City. Stittsville United also held a memorial vigil on Friday, Feb. 3 to offer prayers and support to the members of the Muslim community. In appre-
ciation for these efforts, Imam Hashmi offered Stittsville United Church a framed copy of its letter of appreciation, which states: “As we celebrate the end of Ramadan, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your friendship and support following the Quebec City mosque shooting on Jan. 29, 2017. Your kind words along with the outpouring of support across our country helped lift the cloud of sadness, shock, fear and anxiety that had weighted heavily upon the hearts and minds of many members of our community. Thank you for your care and compassion. We look forward to opportunities to strengthen the bonds of friendship between our two congregations, to work together in building compassionate and loving communities, and to stand together against all
forms of hate and violence.” Those present were truly moved by this act of kindness and solidarity from the members of the Kanata Muslim Association, and the sweets were quickly enjoyed by those who stayed for the fellowship and refreshments following the worship service. The members of Stittsville United Church also joined their voices in wishing their Muslim friends the traditional salutation of “Eid Mubarak,” which means “Blessed Festival.” In the past, Stittsville United Church has hosted opportunities to share together with members of the Muslim community and the congregation looks forward to building stronger bonds of friendship and co-operation with members of the Kanata Muslim Association and others in the Muslim community in Ottawa.

Graduates have what it takes
Last week was high school graduation time. Mortarboards and gowns, that traditional graduation garb, set the fashion trend for the week as Grade 12 graduates at every high school strode and received a secondary school diploma from a principal, vice-president or teacher, with beaming smiles all around. These smiles were not only on the stage, but throughout the audience, on the faces of proud teachers, parents, family members and friends of the graduates. These secondary school graduation diplomas represent more than just the successful completion of 14 years of schooling, starting with junior kindergarten and continuing through to Grade 12. Quite simply, these diplomas represent the future. You only had to be at one of these high school graduation ceremonies to appreciate not only the accomplishments of these graduates to date, but also the unprecedented opportunities which await them in the coming years. Whether they are off to university, college or the world of work, these graduates have before them endless possibilities for further personal growth and additional learning. Whether it is in nursing, law, social work, interior decorating, software development, animation, marketing, engineering, construction or any other field of endeavour, these young graduates have been armed with all of the tools necessary to succeed in their chosen pathway. But more than this, this generation of graduates has
developed a sense of social justice and community volunteering that will ensure a future that is not only more compassionate, but more participatory. That’s because the high school education of today goes beyond just the "three R’s" and the curriculum. In high school, youth get to know about taking responsibility for this world of ours, for preserving it and for making it a better place to live, work and play. They get to know how to do this in part thanks to the clubs and extracurricular activities in which they participate in their high school years. But they also know how to do this because, besides their learning, they have developed what it takes to succeed in today’s world — skills like collaboration, digital fluency, critical thinking, resiliency, perseverance and empathy. They are globally aware. They respect and accept others for who they are. They are ready to make a difference in the world, not only with their learning, but also with who they have become on their journey through the education system to date. This all gives so much hope, not only for where society is headed in the future, but also for seeing how our goals and aspirations as a country of communities are going to be realized. It will all happen because of these young people who this past week strode across a stage to receive a secondary school diploma. They have what it takes to take us to the next level as a country and as a society. We can’t wait for it to happen!
There's something to be said for team sports
S
o, the kids are out of school — at loose ends — complaining about being bored, while you try to figure out how to keep them away from screens. It’s an age-old dilemma, although there are a lot more screens than there used to be. Myself, I’d get them into team sports. Yes, they went out of fashion some time ago, when lots of people decided that competition was an ugly thing — and indeed it can be, when carried to extremes. That goes for life, not to mention politics, as well as baseball. One of our great national heroes, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was not a team sports guy. Dubbed a “single-combat warrior” by the great Canadian journalist Richard Gwyn, Trudeau preferred judo and canoeing to baseball, although he was knowledgeable about
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the latter. But, times change and the pendulum swings back. A more contemporary Canadian hero, Barack Obama, was a team sports guy; a pickup basketball enthusiast. In our town, every available field has some team or another playing on it. There is a lot more soccer than there used to be, which partly reflects changing demographics and partly reflects economic practicalities: to outfit a soccer team, all you really need is a ball, although jerseys are nice. Many of those available fields
have baseball games going on, which reflects a bit of a comeback for the sport. The ugly days of major league strikes and steroid scandals are in the past, and the recent successes of the Toronto Blue Jays have stimulated a renewed interest in the sport. Baseball as big business has its faults. If you visit the Rogers Centre in Toronto to see the Blue Jays, you will be overwhelmed by the noise and commercialism and underwhelmed by the comfort of the seating. On a smaller scale, such as at RCGT Park in Ottawa — where the Ottawa Champions play — some of the age-old attractions of the game reappear. The grass is real, the fans are close to the action and the sounds of the game are not drowned out by electronic clatter. Add to this the small-scale charm of the minor leagues, cheesy between-

innings contests, the 50-50 draw. A new one on me is the Poutine Batter promotion, in which one opposition player is designated the Poutine Batter, and every time he comes to bat, the crowd has a chance at free poutine if he strikes out. Although this has the virtue of being a uniquely Canadian event, it seems a bit petty of us to be wishing ill on a player just because we’re hungry. One day I was there, the Poutine Batter was a member of the Cuban National Team called Juan Torriente. He disappointed the fans five times, although he got to two strikes twice, causing brief excitement. By contrast, on the smallest scale of baseball — the Little League diamonds — I didn’t hear anybody cheering for opposing players to strike out. I also didn’t hear any parents or coaches yelling at the 10-year-old EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Brian Dryden 613-221-6162 brian.dryden@metroland.com
players or 14-year-old umpires. I just saw kids, boys and girls, bonding, encouraging the other players on their team and saying “good try” even when they failed. That’s how team sport is supposed to work. I’m glad it still does.

How did the goat get on the roof of Evelyn’s home?
MARY COOK
E
velyn wasn’t the most popular girl at the Northcote School. She wasn’t unpopular, either. She was just there, minding her own business, doing exactly what Miss Crosby asked of her, and always had her homework done, and her desk drawer in perfect order. Evelyn wasn’t much of a talker, either. So, although we knew her family as neighbours, I knew little about what Evelyn did at home. Did she play with dolls? Did she have a pet cat, or a pet chicken like I did? I knew she worked hard at the farm, an only child with no brothers to help with chores. But, what Evelyn did at home for fun, I didn’t know — until the day I was invited to her farm on a warm Saturday to play. I was thrilled beyond words. Finally, I would find out what my schoolmate did when she wasn’t at school. Like our farm, there was a long lane off the Northcote Side Road, and Father took me over in the buggy and dropped me off at the gate leading into the barnyard. Mother sent some sticky buns, as was the custom then. When one visited for the first time, a jar of jam or some other little treat went with you. Evelyn was waiting for me at the gate, and she led me right to the kitchen to say hello to her mother and hand over the sticky buns. When we went outside, I was impressed to see that Evelyn had a playhouse, filled with a make-believe stove and real little table and chairs. This little playhouse was right outside the summer kitchen, and Evelyn said she often had her lunch out there, which to me was right up there with a trip to the movies on a Saturday night. Imagine, eating your lunch in your very own little playhouse. Then, Evelyn looked up at the summer kitchen roof, and in a voice that sounded as mad as a hatter’s, yelled at the top of her lungs, “Buster, you get

Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26.
NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO EXPROPRIATE LAND IN THE MATTER OF an application by the City of Ottawa for approval to expropriate the lands described in Schedules “1” and “2” attached hereto for the purposes of the Stage 2 Ottawa Light Rail Transit System project (“Stage 2 LRT Project”), including, but not limited to, facilitating the construction, operation and maintenance of light rail infrastructure, tunnel guideway corridors, tunnel portals, at-grade guideway corridors, guideways, stations, station entrances and station to surface access points, platforms, multi-use pathways, bridges and bridge approaches and including temporary easements, varying in duration from 36 to 61 months as described in Schedules “1” and “2” hereto, for purposes including, but not limited to, construction of station entrances, traffic management and detours, storage of excavated materials and construction materials and equipment, temporary power supply and to enter on the lands with all vehicles, machinery, workmen and material for construction, grading and relocation of utilities and for construction of berms, walking paths, multi-use pathways, fences, retaining walls, landscaping features and all other improvements and works ancillary to the Stage 2 LRT Project. The drawings referred to in Schedules “1” and “2” forming part of this Notice are available for viewing during regular business hours at the City’s Client Service Centre, 1st Floor, City Hall, City of Ottawa, 110 Laurier Avenue West.
off that roof this minute.” There, on the very top of the summer kitchen, was a goat — almost the size of a pony. It just glared down at Evelyn, stomped its front foot, and looked like it defied anyone brave enough to challenge it. How it got on the roof was beyond me. “You heard me, Buster. Get off the roof.” She grabbed a branch on the ground, which looked to me like it was always at hand to deal with the goat, which seemed to have a mind of its own. She swung the branch over her head in the air. “He’s already torn the shingles off one side of the house, and my father said if I couldn’t control him, he was going to sell him to the butcher in Renfrew.” Well, Buster either knew of the threat over his head or he didn’t trust Evelyn with the branch. He made one leap and landed on all fours in front of us. Then, he turned his back on Evelyn, made a snort and kicked her with his back feet, sending her sprawling — and then the chase was on. The two of them tore around the barnyard like two maniacs in a race for survival. Every time Evelyn got near Buster, he raised his hind legs and defied her to come any closer. It was obvious this wasn’t the first time Buster and
Evelyn met horns. Finally, Buster ran toward a back field, and Evelyn very carefully put the branch right back where it was when the fight began, ready for the next challenge with the goat. I asked Evelyn how Buster got onto the roof. She said she had no idea, and neither did anyone else. No one knew how he managed the leap, and she lost count of the times the goat did it. She thought he took a running leap when no one was around, and her father said the goat was too smart for its own good, and if one more shingle was ever seen on the ground, Buster would be taking the trip into Renfrew in the truck. During my short visit, I heard that Evelyn’s pet cat never left the barn since one day Buster kicked it about 10 feet into the air. I asked her if she considered Buster a pet. We were eating cookies in her playhouse. “I did when he was little. But, not anymore. And if he gives me one more kick like that last one, I’ll help Pop load him into the truck myself.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Canadian animals featured in Little Ray’s show SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It was the perfect Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo show for Canada Day. The show, presented at the Canada Day celebrations in Munster on July 1, featured Canadian animals. No, there were no exotic boa constrictor snakes as usually seen in Little Ray’s shows because they don’t exist naturally in Canada. But there was a black rat snake which is found in Canada. In fact, it is Canada’s longest reptile, capable of growing up to seven feet long. There were more animals found in Canada featured in the show, such as a snapping turtle, a turkey vulture and, yes, even the common skunk. Another animal which was shown although not found in Canada was a domestic ferret which was shown to represent a ferret which is found in Canada, namely the black footed ferret. At one time, the black footed ferret was considered extinct in Canada but it has since been bred in captivity and released into the wild in Alberta. This show with its Canadian focus was but one of the attractions at the Canada Day celebrations in Munster, hosted by the Munster Community Association. Red and white clothing including hats and T-shirts could be seen everySubmitted where at Munster Park where the celA turkey vulture spreads its wings as it is being shown to the spectators, both young and old, at the Little Ray’s Repitle Zoo presentation at the ebrations took place.

Couple in period dress visits Munster’s Canada Day event Continued from page 12
The event often experienced sunny conditions despite the unsettled weather of the day. There were bouncy castles, a jousting game, a games tent, a dunk tank and face painting. In addition, youngsters had fun on the swings, slide and play structure which are permanent
features of the park. A giant Canada flag was on display, adding even more of a Canadian flavour to the event. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn councillor Scott Moffatt was in attendance. Also in attendance and attracting lots of looks was Barrhaven couple
Greg Heppenstall and his wife Linda Rose who dropped in during mid-afternoon in their period costume. She was wearing a full length skirt while wearing a bonnet and carrying a parasol, very much the stylish lady from Victorian times. He wore a top hat and corresponding coat and attire. Together, they presented a dashing picture of a couple right out of
Canada’s earliest days, quite the sight at this celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday as a country. Greg and his wife had started their day at Canada Day celebrations in Manotick and were going to visit celebrations in Dunrobin later in the day. They had been to a Carleton Place event the day before. Indeed, the couple believe that
dressing up in period costumes adds to an event. They are both English country dancers and they admit that they dress up in such period costumes not only for Canada Day but on several other occasions throughout any given year as well. Linda Rose makes her own bonnets and purchases any necessary accessories to round out the period costumes.

The Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club is proud of its achievements and is grateful to the readers of the Stittsville News who voted the Amberwood golf course in the heart of Stittsville as the ‘Number One’ course in the region.

Jennifer McGahan of Jennifer McGahan Interiors stands on the stairway leading to the second floor at her new office premises at 1495 Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville. Notice the original woodworking along the exterior of the stairway.
A heritage brick building in downtown Stittsville is now a Victorian showpiece once more thanks to a four-month renovation project guided by Jennifer McGahan Interiors of Stittsville. And this has been not just any project for Jennifer McGahan Interiors, as this two storey brick home at 1495 Stittsville Main St. is the new office location for the interior design and decorating firm. Jennifer readily admits that she loves the building, with its Victorian feel and features. Every effort was made to retain original features where possible. So the original baseboard mouldings and door casings have been retained. The original pine flooring upstairs remains in place. The walls are all plaster, just like the original ones. The stairs going to the second floor are the same ones that have served the house since it was built in the early 20th century, complete with the intricate mouldings on the staircase and the sturdy newell post. Before purchasing the building, Jennifer received a report from consulting engineers that despite being somewhat rundown in appearance, the building itself was sound despite being built early in the 20th century and being located within ten feet of busy Stittsville Main Street. Indeed, it was this proximity and visibility to Stittsville Main Street that appealed to Jennifer. She wanted the exposure which having her business on busy Stittsville Main Street would provide. But she also wanted the building to retain its Victorian appeal, both inside and outside. Because Jennifer McGahan Interiors does renovation projects as part of its business, Jennifer knew that she could fix up 1495 Stittsville Main St. to return it to its original charm and appearance. It took four months from mid-January but Jennifer, through her business contacts, was able to engage the appropriate trades to restore the building to tip-top condition. The red brick was repointed, with some brick being replaced where it had deteriorated over the years. See 1495 STITTSVILLE MAIN STREET, page 19

1495 Stittsville Main Street gets back its Victorian charm Continued from page 18
The window sills, some of which were stone and some wood, were all replaced with new stone sills. The windows were all replaced. So too was the front door, with the new front door being an all-wood door, adding a stately touch to the structure. Jennifer also had a medallion installed in the ceiling in the centre of the front living room, again with the view that it would help the building be “stately.” Each room also features a chandelier, another touch to add to the building’s “stately” aura. The flooring on the first floor had to be replaced as the former flooring was just not salvageable. Crown mouldings were added in the former living and dining rooms on the first floor. As was typical in homes of this early 20th century era, all of the rooms were closed off to each other. The only major interior structural change which Jennifer made was to open up the former living room to the adjacent former Victorian parlour, with double doors replacing the former wall. The former dining room now becomes a sample room where clients can view various samples of flooring, tiles, fabrics and more. Jennifer McGahan Interiors has a full selection of samples, all right there at the office so that clients can do one-stop shopping. A steel roof was added but it has been done in a period appropriate way so that the building’s Victorian style has not been compromised. Any doors downstairs were replaced while what are now four offices upstairs have been left without doors. A staff powder room has been added upstairs as well. Jennifer’s office is located at the front of the building where she has a window view of Stittsville Main Street and Ivan’s Meat and Deli
across the street. A former summer kitchen at the rear of the building was torn off, with the rear of the building cladded with a stucco exterior. The window wells in the stone foundation were capped as there are no immediate plans to use the basement of the building. The building now accommodates Jennifer and her staff of three and she feels that the building has the room to be able to accommodate another two more staff members when the business grows even more. The parking area around the building will eventually be paved but initially Jennifer wanted to focus on rejuvenating and renovating the interior and exterior of the building itself. Exterior landscaping and paving will come in time. Jennifer is now selling a vacant part of the property to the south of the building since it is surplus to her needs. She requires just six parking spots for her business, enough for staff and for clients. Client visits are by appointment only. Jennifer was pleased when the home’s longtime previous owners, the Lytle family, visited during a recent grand opening day at the business where they saw the renovation work and were pleased with how their former home had been so lovingly and appropriately renovated. Clients who have visited this new home of Jennifer McGahan Interiors have also expressed approval for the renovation work that has been done. Jennifer McGahan Interiors previously had office premises on Beverly Street in Stittsville but it did not have the visibility that the new location has, being right on Stittsville Main Street in the heart of Stittsville. Jennifer McGahan Interiors, now at 1495 Stittsville Main St., can be contacted at 613-762-2093.

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!

Honourary diploma for John Brummell It was a major regret in his life but no longer. Back in the 1960s, John Brummell left high school before graduation, joining Canada’s military to begin a career that saw him serve as a medic in the military, join the RCMP where he enjoyed a fulfilling career before retiring, and then going on to be a community journalist and photographer with the Stittsville News. His regret about never graduating from high school was removed at this year’s commencement ceremony of South Carleton High School (SCHS) June 29 where he was presented with an honorary high school graduation diploma. Wearing a mortarboard, he walked across the stage to receive this honorary diploma from SCHS principal Colin Anderson as those in the audience at the double gymnasium at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School in Barrhaven rose to give him a standing ovation. John hugged principal Anderson as well as onstage dignitaries trustee Lynn Scott and SCHS School Council co-chair Shelina Alibhai after receiving the honorary diploma before striding offstage with diploma in hand and a lifelong regret eliminated. He was presented with the honorary diploma to thank him for his years of coverage of South Carleton and community events in his role as a photographer and reporter for the Stittsville News. Indeed, over the years, he had covered not only SCHS commencement ceremonies but numerous other SCHS events and activities ranging from bandathons to dance shows to art shows to undergraduate award evenings to ath-
letic banquets and more. At the conclusion of this year’s commencement ceremony, John joined the school’s 2017 graduates as they paraded out of the gymnasium, led by bagpiper Scott Cameron, a SCHS alumni. John retired earlier this year from his longtime position with the Stittsville News. He subsequently received a Community Builder Award from the city of Ottawa for his years of covering events in the community for the newspaper and his other community involvements such as serving as a Lions Club president and holding offices with the Hazeldean Masonic Lodge.

Don Redtman (left) of the Stittsville District Lions Club presents a scholarship cheque for $1,000 to recipient Rachel Ross (right) of Stittsville who has graduated from The Governor’s Academy in Massachusetts and will be attening the University of Waterloo in the fall.
The other scholarships went to Paige Redmond of South Carleton High School and Lucas Hervato, Olivia Gillis and Erin Francispillai, all of Sacred Heart Catholic High School. These four scholarships were presented at school functions but Rachel’s scholarship was presented at the Lions Club meeting at the Lions Hall in Stittsville because Rachel has graduated from the Governor’s Academy in Massachusetts. Rachel, who has lived in Stittsville for three years since moving from Nova Scotia, will be attending the University of Waterloo this fall, studying, among other things, biochemistry. Rachel attended the Governor’s Academy for her high school education. When she arrived there, she was the only Canadian student but this past year the number of Canadian students at the coed independent boarding preparatory school had grown to three. The Governor’s Academy, which offers a Grade 9 to Grade 12 academic program, is situated on a 450 acre campus in the Village of Byfield, MA, 33 miles north of Boston. Established in 1763, it is the oldest continuously operating independent boarding school in the United States. It was founded as the Drummer Academy two years after the death of William Drummer who funded its establishment in his will. He was a lieutenant governor and acting governor of Massachusetts, leading the then-colony in the early 18th century. The school was known as the Governor Drummer Academy until 2005 when the name was changed to the Governor’s Academy. The Governor’s Academy has a student-teacher ratio of five to one in its classes. It also offers programs in visual and performing arts and has a long tradition of athletics, currently fielding 23 varsity teams and 47 interscholastic teams. Among the school’s alumni is Macauley Culkin (class of 1998) who is famous for acting in the Home Alone movies. Other alumni include Michael Stonebraker (class of 1961) who has received the ACM Turing Award which is known as the “Nobel Prize of Computing”; Alexandra Carpenter (class of 2011), a player on the U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team; and Ben Ferriero (class of 2004), a player with the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League. Other alumni include Brigadier Generals, journalists, U.S. Congressmen, physicians and State senators.

Annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Classic SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The seventh annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Classic is happening on Saturday, July 8. There will be a shotgun start at noon at Manderley on the Green near North Gower, with the tournament again supporting the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation. This foundation raises funds to help youth struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues. The Bilodeau family of Richmond — parents Rheal and Janet Bilodeau, as well as daughter Renee — has been hosting this tournament every year since Jay’s passing in 2011. To date, the tournament has donated over $12,000 toward the new 30-bed treatment facility for youth aged 13 to 21 years that the Dave Smith organization will be building and operating off Richardson Sideroad in West Carleton near Stittsville.
Jay Bilodeau, son of Janet and Rheal Biloideau and brother of Renee, died in March 2011 of a fentanyl overdose when he was just 22 years old. He was a high school graduate; loved his family and friends; and was an active person with a passion for sports, including hockey, snowboarding, fishing and especially golf. Since 1993, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has helped hundreds of young people overcome addiction and mental health issues. It provides eastern Ontario’s only live-in treatment facility. The tournament on Saturday, July 8 at Manderley on the Green will see participants play 18 holes of golf, as well as enjoy a sit-down dinner where prizes will be presented. For more information about the tournament, please email jaybclassic@gmail.com.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
July 6, 2017 Councillor Qadri’s Weekly Column Maple Grove Temporary Pond I would like to advise residents that Mattamy will begin the process of filling the temporary pond on Maple Grove beginning Tuesday, July 4th. All environmental permits have been secured and Mattamy will be proceeding in conformance with those approvals. Maintenance on Tuesday includes removing small vegetation, cutting the grass and removing the water. After which, the work will include removing existing structures, earthmoving and stone installation. Please note that the area is an active construction zone and for safety purposes it should not be accessed by the public. The process is anticipated to proceed through September and I will be certain to keep residents updated through my weekly electronic newsletter.
Road Resurfacing Projects in Ottawa I would like to provide residents with an update on the 2017 Road Resurfacing Program and on the additional resurfacing projects in response to the motion carried by Council on May 24, 2017. This motion approved the addition of $400,000 to the Road Services Operating Budget for the Unscheduled Asphalt Road and Pathway Surface Repairs program and a further $2.5M to the City-wide Road Resurfacing Project. Over the past four weeks, staff from Public Works and Environmental Services (PWES) and Infrastructure Services (IS) have worked collaboratively to identify locations for the implementation of additional roadway repairs. To maximize the value of the additional investments, the focus of these additional repairs has been on selected road sections of greater need and not the resurfacing of full road segments. I have discussed this item with PWES and IS staff and based on feedback from residents provided to my office, assisted in determining the Stittsville locations funded for resurfacing would be: • Abbott St at Stittsville Main • Carp Rd at McCooeye • Hobin St at Renshaw I am pleased that this additional funding is being used to help allocate repairs to more areas of Stittsville and across the City which are in need. My office is aware of other areas that still require maintenance work and I will continue to bring them to the attention of PWES and IS staff to ensure that they are added to the maintenance list as early as possible. The timeline to implement the additional repairs will vary depending on type of repair needed, procurement of services and coordination of resources. All works are expected to be completed later in 2017. 28 Stittsville News - Thursday, July 6, 2017
Classmate remembered at Sacred Heart graduation SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Sacred Heart Catholic High School Grade 12 student Sam Marincak died tragically last March. But he was far from forgotten on his graduation day. An empty chair draped in black was set aside among the seating for the graduating class as Sam’s seat. His name, Samuel Evie Marincak, was listed among the graduates in the program and when his name was read out, his sisters Paige and Abby went to the stage to receive his graduation diploma on his behalf as a standing ovation erupted among the graduating students and those in attendance at the ceremony. It was a moment no one there will ever forget as Sam joined his classmates, at least in spirit, one last time. Sam and his classmates as members of the Class of 2017 of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville received their Ontario Secondary School diplomas at the school’s 17th annual graduation ceremony at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata on Thursday, June 29. A total of 289 students were graduated from the school this year, with all receiving Ontario Secondary School diplomas and some also receiving additional certificates such as a technology certificate, a Core French certificate, a French Immersion certificate, a business certificate or a Specialist High Skills Major certificate. In addition, 131 of the graduates achieved the honour roll. To be an honour roll student, a student must receive an 80 per cent average or above in the courses taken during the year. One hundred and thirty of the graduates were Ontario Scholars. This is a provincial honour in which students must receive 480 marks in their top six Grade 12 courses. Besides the presentation of diplomas, the graduation ceremony also
saw the presentation of awards recognizing individual achievements. The Archbishop’s Award for Catholic Leadership was presented to Jayden Cole while the Palladium Orthodontics Science Award went to Adam Duchesne. The Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Exemplary Community Service went to Chanel Rehman. The Kanata Theatre Mary Mauger Award saw Daniella Atkinson as the recipient while the John Shaughnessy Principal’s Award bearing the name of the school’s first principal was presented to Tierney Sterling. Chloe Doherty and David Stoltz received the Play It Again Sports Award as the top graduating athletes while the Trustee’s Award was presented to Steven Keyworth. The Green Apple Studio Award was presented to Olivia Keyes and Tyler Brown while Matthew Curran received the Pathways to Success Award. The Director of Education Graduate Student Award was presented to Shayna Douglas.

Sacred Heart principal Alex Belloni addressed the graduates as well, giving her fourth and final principal’s address at the ceremony. She will be moving to become principal of St. Pius X High School in Ottawa this fall.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
We are buying our first home. The bank insists that we add my father as a co-owner of the home in order to qualify for the mortgage amount we need. The entire down payment is coming from our savings and we will be making all the mortgage payments. I would rather not include my father as a co-owner. What are your suggestions?
Sacred Heart Catholic High School Roland Cardinal (left) presents the Palladium Orthodontics Science Award to recipient Adam Duchesne (right) at the school’s graduation ceremony on June 29.
Guarantor of the mortgage v being registered on title as owner Adding a person that is not going to be living at the property as a co-owner is generally not recommended, unless you are buying an investment property. You should talk to your bank about whether it would be sufficient to have your father as a guarantor on the mortgage, rather than a co-owner. If the bank still insists on your father’s ownership, there are ways to structure the co-ownership in order to protect everyone’s interest and to minimize your father’s exposure to any tax related consequences of owning a second home.
PUBLIC MEETINGS
Joint Tenancy v Tenancy in Common There are two ways to structure how two or more individuals can own a real property together. They can either own it as joint tenants or as tenants in common. The main difference between the two is that people who own a property as joint tenants have a right of survivorship, meaning that if either one of them dies, his or her ownership share passes
John Curry/Metroland
automatically to the other surviving joint tenant. This is in contrast with tenancy in common, which does not have a right of survivorship, meaning that the share of the deceased tenant in common becomes part of such person’s estate. With tenancy in common you can also specify a size of a share that each co-owner owns. For example, your father can own 1% share of the home and you and your spouse own the remaining 99% share, as tenants in common. This will ensure that your and your spouse’s share becomes part of your estate rather than being transferred to your father in case something happens to both you and your husband.

South Carleton graduates off to various schools BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
The 243 graduates of South Carleton High School (SCHS) in Richmond this year are off to new experiences in school or work in a variety of places. They give affirmation to the words that they heard from SCHS principal Colin Anderson in his remarks to the graduates at the school’s 65th annual commencement ceremony Thursday evening, June 29. In these remarks, principal Anderson said: “A graduation is not an end but a beginning of

the next stage of your life.” And so it is with this year’s SCHS graduates, as evidenced by the schools they will be attending in the fall, the subjects they will be studying there and the work places some will be entering. So these graduates are off to such post-secondary schools as Carleton University, Queen's University, Algonquin College, McGill University, the University of Toronto, the University of Western Ontario, St. Lawrence College, Brock University, the University of Guelph, Nipissing University, Fleming College, Georgian College, Laurentian University, Sheridan College, Bishops University, King’s College, Fanshawe College, Ryerson, York University, Canadore College, the University of Waterloo, Ridgetown College and Loyalist College. And their courses of study are just as varied as their destinations, as they will be studying such subjects as animation, international development, media information, criminology, heritage masonry, computer systems, pre-health science, behavioural psychology, Internet security, construction, hospitality, applied science, early childhood education, nursing, law, music, kinesiology, heating and air conditioning, culinary arts, engineering, fashion design, architectural technology, speech communication, biotechnology, journalism, neuroscience and mental health, interior decorating, business administration, sociology, public affairs and policy management and bookkeeping and accounting. A few are off on unique experi-
ences. Nathan Grenon is off to Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania where he will play NCAA lacrosse. Griffin Jones will be playing NCAA golf thanks to a scholarship at Radford University in Virginia. Noah Stanford will be playing soccer attending Huntington University in Indiana. Others will find themselves this fall at places such as the Steinbach Bible College and the Word of Life Bible Institute for Bible studies. Valedictorian James Wadsworth, who was selected by his fellow students for the role, urged his classmates to be bold in their thinking in the future while also urging them to be creative, courageous and kind in the years ahead. In his remarks to the graduates, SCHS principal Anderson provided a “top ten” list of advice for the graduates, a list which included keep learning, don’t worry about things that you can’t control, be positive, respect your family, friends and especially yourself and be good to your parents. Ottawa-Carleton District School Board trustee Lynn Scott, in her address to the graduates, pointed out that while they have completed tests in meeting academic expectations, they have also met expectations for which there is no high school test but which may be even more important in their futures. She noted that these expectations which have been met by the graduates include integrity, respect, perseverance, empathy, resiliency, critical thinking and more. She said that these expectations will help them be useful members of society going forward. See GRADUATES, page 34

Lots of reading plus summertime programs at Richmond library SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Summer Reading Club is once again underway at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library, and, boy, there is lots being read. A total of 450 books were read in the first week of the Summer Reading Club program, giving the youngsters involved a good chance at reaching the summer 2017 goal of 3,500. Registration for the TD Summer Reading Club began on June 17 and continues throughout the summer. Each child who registers will receive a free reading kit containing stickers and an activity booklet. And reading books is going to create a Lego masterpiece at the library branch. For every book read, the reader will receive a piece of Lego to add to the masterpiece display. There’s also a challenge situation with the Munster branch to see which community can read the most books this summer. The Richmond branch emerged as the winner last year. Who will win this year? But, there’s even more reading going on. Every Wednesday morning, a family reading adventure program is being held, with stories being read in the backyard. The program will switch to inside the library branch if it rains.
Families are invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs for this program if they wish. This family reading adventure program will happen each week until Aug. 23. There’s also drop-in fun craft sessions on Friday afternoons throughout the summer at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public library. This is a family program which will run on Fridays from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. from Friday, July 7 to Friday, Aug. 25. There will be weekly programs for youth offered at the Richmond library branch, with online registration required.

Farm tour as part of Agri 150 program SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Tour shuttles will depart from OC Transpo’s Strandherd park and ride (bus stop No. 2A) at 3680 Strandherd Dr. Tickets went on sale on Friday, May 26, selling for $80 per person plus tax and service charges. To purchase tickets, visit Ottawa2017. ca. The tour ticket will allow free use of any OC Transpo bus route to and from the Strandherd park and ride lot. This free service will be available from three hours before the tour to three hours after the tour. Agri 150 is an Ottawa 2017 program stewarded by Just Food to boost rural tourism during the celebrations of Canada’s 150th birthday in Ottawa, as well as for years to come. This Back to the Future: Farm Technology Tour is just one of more than 20 events taking place over the course of 2017 to allow people to discover Ottawa’s rural communities and their attractions. Ottawa 2017 is organizing Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations in the city, offering Canadians and visitors from around the world a year filled with unique and high calibre experiences. Ottawa 2017 has teamed up with lead partner CIBC, premier partner Bell, the provincial government and the federal government to deliver these experiences throughout the year.
The Fallowfield Tree Farm and Schouten’s Cornerview Farms will both be part of a Back to the Future: Farm Technology Tour happening on Saturday, Aug. 19. This is part of the Agri 150 program developed to showcase the rural communities of the City of Ottawa to both residents and visitors during the celebrations of Canada’s 150th birthday in the nation’s capital. The Fallowfield Tree Farm is located on Fallowfield Road between Stittsville and Richmond in Goulbourn, while Schouten’s Cornerview Farms is located on Malakoff Road just south of Richmond. These will be two stops on the four-stop tour that the Ottawa 2017 Bureau and Mayor Jim Watson are presenting in collaboration with CIBC. Other stops on the tour will be North Gower Grains and Velthuis Farms. On this tour, participants will get to see the best of what agricultural technology has to offer and learn about the role that this technology plays in bringing food and plants from farm to home. At Fallowfield Tree Farm, those on the tour will see how a lawn or park can be transformed from a sunny space to a shady spot thanks to the use of a gigantic mechanical tree space that can transplant large trees. At the Schouten family’s Cornerview Farms, tour participants will see an anaerobic digester and will be told how it improves the farm’s operation thanks to its cutting edge recycling capability. North Gower Grains features huge grain elevators, giving an idea of just how much grain is grown in the Ottawa region. Velthuis Farms will provide tour participants with an opportunity to see where cows that provide the milk that people drink live. This Back to the Future: Farm Technology Tour will be offered twice on Saturday, Aug. 19. The first tour will run from 11:30 a.m. to 5:45 John Curry/Metroland p.m. and it will be bilingual.

Commercial aspect of Stittsville ever since the days of Jackson Stitt SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Stittsville, right from its beginning years, had a commercial and business aspect to its existence. Indeed, the person after whom Stittsville is named, Jackson Stitt, was an entrepreneur. Some might call him an entrepreneur extraordinaire as he took a rural crossroads and made it into a thriving business hub. He acquired the land at the intersection of two major early roads — the road from Ottawa through Bells Corners that led to Ashton and Carleton Place (now Hazeldean Road) and the Huntley Road which was a main route from Richmond to the upper Ottawa Valley (now Carp Road). It was at this crossroads, which came to be known as Stitt’s Corner, at which Jackson Stitt situated his enterprises which grew to include, by 1855, a tannery, a hotel, a shoemaker’s shop, a carpenter’s shop and two stores. He also had become the area’s first postmaster in 1854. Stitt’s Corner was also the site of the Fair Green where intermittent sale days or fairs were held for the selling and buying of livestock. Jackson Stitt himself pulled up stakes, selling his property in 1857 and after holding an auction of his movable property in early 1858, set off for Perth and Huron County. It was in Huron County that he died in 1859. But he had begun something and his Stittsville continued to be a commercial centre for the travelling public as well as for area farmers.
By 1864, just a few years after Jackson Stitt had departed, Stittsville had a general store, a hotel, a school, a blacksmith, a couple of shoemakers, a weaver, a tannery and an Orange Lodge. The nearest church was Argue’s Chapel (now Stittsville United Church) located two concessions to the south of Stitt’s Corner via the Huntley Road. The year 1870 was a most significant year in the early development of Stittsville. In August, the Carleton County Fire swept through the area, destroying much of the business enterprises and homes which had sprung up in the Stittsville (former Stitt’s Corner) area. At virtually the same time, namely in September 1870, the railroad opened between Ottawa and Carleton Place with the line running through the Stittsville area one concession south of where Jackson Stitt had established his enterprises. This former Stitt’s Corner location soon became known as Old Stittsville as a “new” Stittsville grew up around where the Huntley Road crossed the railway track, adjacent to the new railway station. Local farmers not only benefitted from the arrival of the railroad by supplying wood for the engines but the railroad presented business opportunities which were quickly seized by local residents. Stittsville ended up with a couple of hotels flanking the railway line. By 1899, Stittsville had a couple of hotels, two saw mills, a carpenter, a blacksmith, two general stores, a post office, a shoemaker, a carriage-maker, and even
a threshing machine manufacturer. In 1914, Fred Bradley had opened his general store in half of a double building, with the newly arrived (1905) Union Bank of Canada occupying the other section of the building. In 1920, the Bradley store relocated to what had been a hotel on the south side of the railway tracks where it became a flourishing general store as well as a feed mill and farm machinery dealership. The Bradley store relocated farther south on what is now Stittsville Main Street in 1961, becoming an IGA Foodliner and then an M and M Foodliner. Paul Bradley, the third generation of the Bradley family to operate the store, later relocated to the new Stittsville Shopping Centre (now the Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) and the store carries on today in yet another Stittsville location as Brown’s Your Independent
Grocer. The turn of the century saw other commercial enterprises crop up in Stittsville. There was Samuel Mann’s general store at the corner of Abbott Street and today’s Stittsville Main Street. This was, in its time, a most modern store, drawing customers from a wide area. It burned in 1902, was rebuilt and then burned again in 1911, after which the Mann family moved to the West. The Mann enterprises included a brick factory and related enterprises along the railway track on the east side of what is now Stittsville Main Street. The two-storey brick store boasted an elevator, a dressmaking department and a druggist department along with the usual general store offerings. See COMMERCIAL, page 43

Commercial development with growth Continued from page 42
There were other smaller general stories in the community along with the Temperance Hotel at the corner of what is now Stittsville Main Street and Orville Street. At this same time, in the early 20th century, Allan Scharf ran a carriage-making shop. It was Allan Scharf who built the brick house with the corner cut off at the northeast corner of what is now Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. This building went on to serve as the home of the Stittsville post office for 45 years. Eventually, when carriages started to be mass produced in factories, Scharf began a business to sell the factory-made carriages in a building where Village Square Park now sits. When Scharf decided to head to the West, he sold his business to Thomas A. “T.A.” Bradley who went on to develop the business as a car dealership for Durant and Dodge cars. Stittsville had other businesses like blacksmith shops, with businesses continuing to come and go. The railway continued, though, ensuring a source of economic livelihood for the village’s business community, along with the needs of local farmers. Cars eventually had an impact on Stittsville’s business community, with car dealerships opening. George McCaffrey sold Chevrolet cars while Art Basset became a Ford dealer. W.J. Bell and Alf McCoy both became players in the road contracting business. Stittsville had a grist mill through the years, operated at different locations and by different
owners over the years. The postwar period saw the beginning of suburban growth in Stittsville, which experienced a housing boom in the 1950s thanks largely to Hobin Homes. The coming of municipal services in the late 1970s meant the start of the housing boom in Stittsville that continues to this day, taking the community from a 1975 population of 2,500 to today’s population of over 30,000. And with this population growth has come increasing commercial and business development with plazas such as the Stittsville Shopping Centre, the Crossing Bridge Plaza, the Shops of Main Street Plaza, and, more recently, the Stittsville Sobeys commercial area at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road, the Jackson Trails Centre plaza and the Grant Crossing shopping area along Hazeldean Road. Other significant business enterprises in Stittsville in the second half of the 20th century include Dilawri Motors which operated from the 1060s to 1980s, becoming one of the largest car dealerships in the area and coining the iconic marketing phrase “Just Beyond the Fringe”; the Kiltie MacTavish Furniture Warehouse which drew hundreds of shoppers to Stittsville in the 1970s and early 1980s, offering bargain prices on household furniture and appliances; and the Stittsville Flea Market, an enterprise which grew to attract thousands to its Stittsville location from its beginning in 1974 to 2004 when it closed, much to the chagrin of the hundreds of vendors which sold a variety of items in the Flea Market’s several buildings each Sunday.

Buildings tell history of Stittsville SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Buildings in the downtown area of Stittsville tell much about the history of Stittsvlle. The rwo-storey building on the south side of the entrance to the municipal parking lot in downtown Stittsville was built in the 1890s as the home of Miss Rebecca Stitt, a dressmaker who worked at the Mann General Store in the village. It was passed on to her sister Elizabeth, who was a nurse. It was the home of Sterling and Grace Howie for 27 years until they sold it in 1992 for use as the hair salon for Precision Cut Hair Styling. It later served as a day care centre and is now being renovated to be a restaurant. Mr. Howie, who operated a welding business in Stittsville, was a longtime Stittsville volunteer firefighter. The fire hall on Stittsville Main Street adjacent to the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library is named after Sterling Howie. Across Stittsville Main Street is the building that used to be the home of Stittsville Picture

Framing which is now closed. The building was built in the 1870s or 1880s as a blacksmith shop run by Wesley Cherry, whose family owned the land stretching from what is now the Fernbank Road through to what is now Abbott Street. William Switzer of Ashton took over the business from him, passing it on to his son Clifford Switzer. It later became the site of a hardware store which eventually operated as a Home Hardware store. The building immediately north of this building, which now houses West End Music, at one time was the home of the Standard Church in Stittsville. Farther north along the east side of Stittsville Main Street, at the northeast corner of Orville Street, is the building which was once known as the Temperance Hotel. It had been built in 1871 with a secondstorey balcony running around three sides of the building. It is commonly believed that Prime Minister John A. Macdonald gave a speech from this balcony during the 1887 election
campaign. It had been built initially as a hotel but Sam Mann, a businessman in the village, turned it into a nine bedroom family home. When Sam Mann headed west in 1911, he sold the building to Joe Lewis who ended up turning it into a hotel again, this time known as the Temperance Hotel since Stittsville was legally a dry community at that time. Today’s Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street was the site of Stittsville railway station as the tracks followed what is now the Trans Canada Trail. Stittsville built up around the railway tracks following the Carleton County Fire of 1870 which devastated what was then the heart of Stittsville and what is currently the area along the Carp Road from Stittsville Main Street to the Hazeldean Road. Up to 16 trains a day passed through Stittsville at one time on this rail line which had opened in 1870, just a month after the fire. See RAILWAY, page 46

the postmaster and later with his wife Mrs. Bradley serving as postmistress. The building has been renovated recently and now houses a law office. Immediately north of this building is a former duplex which until recently was a wedding gown shop. This was the home of both the Union Bank and Bradley’s grocery store in the early part of the 20th century until such time as both relocated to other Stittsville Main Street locations. The current Stittsville Legion Hall on Main Street was built in 1930 as the home of the Loyal Orange Lodge No. 489. The three storey, cement block building cost $10,500
and replaced the earlier Orange Lodges in the community which had burned down. As the Orange Hall, it served as a community hall for Stittsville for years, hosting dances, parties and community gatherings. It is now the home of the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion. On the west side of Stittsville Main Street just about across from the Stittsville Legion Hall is a building which was the Holiness Movement Church in the early years of the 20th century and then later became the home of MacDougall Sales and Service, a furniture and appliance dealer. The Holiness Movement Church was associated with the Campgrounds which were located where the Alexander Grove soccer field is today. The Holiness Church Campgrounds, which later became the Free Methodist Church Campgrounds, started out with tents for summertime religious gatherings but eventually saw the construction of numerous This is an 1895 photo of the first railway station in Stittsville private cottages, as well as a tabwhich was adjacent to what is now Stittsville Main Street. The ernacle and dining hall. With its water tower and station, the area developed as the “real hub of the village”. Village Square was developed with a railway heritage theme involving a replica station and a water tower play structure. At the northeast corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street is a building with a slanted corner wall facing the intersection. It was built by Allan Scharf about 1910, with its original front entrance facing Abbott Street, complete with a veranda with a balcony. This building served as the home of Stittsville ‘s post office for 45 years, with Eldon Bradley as

Readers’ Select RESULTS Along Stittsville Main Street Continued from page 46
At the northwest corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street , the current building on the site was built in 1957 as a cement block building to house the village’s post office since Gus Bradley had become the Stittsville postmaster. This is an historic spot because it is the site of Samuel Mann’s department store which drew customers from all around. It burned in 1902, was rebuilt and then burned again in 1911, after which the Mann family moved west. The two storey brick store had an elevator, dressmaking department, druggist department and other departments. Across Abbott Street from this building is a red brick building which is now the home of Hudson Insurance. It was built about 1890 and was first the Butler House hotel and later Green’s Hotel. Right beside the railway track passing through the village, it was the scene of

tragedy as a Butler daughter was hit and killed by a passing train. George Green took over its operation from the Butler family but with the advent of prohibition in the community in the early 1900s, he turned the building into an ice cream parlour and small grocery store. The next building along this portion of Stittsville Main Street was, until recently a two-storey red brick structure which was built about 1875 as a hotel. In 1919, Fred Bradley took it over as the new location for his general store. It remained as the home for Bradley’s grocery store until 1960 when the store relocated to farther south on Stittsville Main Street. The building was severely damaged by fire in 2013 and had to be torn down, leaving a vacant space in the streetscape. At the rear of this site is a smaller cement block building now used as a residence that Fred Bradley used as a feed mill and Massey Harris farm machinery outlet. Later it was used by Bell Canada as its telephone exchange headquarters, with the basement area being used as the first Stittsville News office. Next to this empty site and another empty lot that once was the site of Roger’s Cleaners, which was destroyed by fire is, the building which currently houses Pretty Pots Florist and Gifts. This frame building was renovated and became the home of the Union Bank in 1918. In 1926, the Union Bank became the Royal Bank. It remained at this location into the 1960s, relocating to another location farther south on Stittsville Main Street. This former bank vault is now used by the Pretty Pots Florist and Gifts as its flower storage area.

Installation of new flooring closes Museum SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Goulbourn Museum is getting a new floor. Installation of the new flooring will take all summer, forcing the closure of the Museum until the fall. The project is also including the addition of some storage space and the removal of the raised stage area at the west end of the building. The new flooring will be on one level throughout the building, improving the building’s accessibility. “After years of struggling to build exhibits on drastically uneven floors and worrying about our visitors with mobility issues, we are thrilled to announce that the city of Ottawa will be replacing our floors this summer,” said Tracey Donaldson, acting manager of the Goulbourn Museum. To prepare for this renovation project, museum staff this week has been emptying the building of all of its exhibits, storing the artefacts in the adjacent History Centre building. The work of installing the new flooring and the related renovation work will see the museum closed from July to September. Then, once the project is completed, museum staff will reinstall and reconstruct each of the museum’s exhibits, which means the museum will re-open to the public sometime in October. “We apologize for any inconvenience our temporary closure may cause but hope you will agree the end result will be worth the wait,”
said Keith Hobbs, chairperson of the Goulbourn Museum Board of Directors. The museum will be posting regular updates on its blog and social media so that members of the public can follow the progress of the construction project. While the main museum building at Stanley’s Corners will be closed this summer, the museum will continue to have a presence in the community through offsite events and exhibits. The museum, for instance, will be present at Stittsville’s rescheduled Canada Day celebrations this Saturday, July 8 on the grounds at Sacred Heart Catholic High School at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road. Museum staff will be continuing to work full time at the History Centre building and research appointments will be accommodated upon request. Constructed in 1872, the museum building is 145 years old this year, almost as old as Canada, which is marking its 150th birthday this year. So it is not unexpected that the buildings floors had started to sag and show their age in recent years. The building, initially built as the Goulbourn township municipal hall, has been the scene not only of town hall and council meetings, but also of community dances and parties over the years. In 1990, it became the home of the Goulbourn Museum. The Goulbourn Museum is a com-
munity museum which is a member receives funding from the City of Ot- federal funding partners and from its of the Ottawa Museum Network. It tawa as well as from provincial and own fundraising activities.
John Curry/Metroland
The Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners will be closed for the next three months as a new floor is being installed in the building which was built in 1872. The Museum building will be re-opening in October.

Kristen Cooke
This fundraising musical event for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation features Kristen Cooke who grew up in Richmond. She attended Richmond Public School, Goulbourn Middle School and then Canterbury High School. She was active with the Richmond Girl Guides, played soccer in the community and participated in Scottish Highland dancing. Kristen, daughter of Mark and Nancy Cooke of Richmond, is now studying for her doctorate in oboe performance at the University of British Columbia. She also plays in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and with the Fireside Quintet, a Vancouver-based woodwind quartet that presents woodwind music in new
and diverse ways. Kristen has recently been named a B.C. Emerging Musician by the Royal Over-Seas League. Besides pursing her Doctorate, she is a soloist, teacher and chamber musician. She has her Bachelor of Music from Wilfrid Laurier University and her Master of Music from Boston University. She has trained with the National Academy Orchestra, Orford Orchestra, NYO Canada and the National Arts Centre Young Artist Program. She will be travelling to England to play in the Proms, a prestigious award program in which she will play the oboe. In addition, in the United Kingdom, she will be performing for a month in both London and Edin-
burgh in the Royal OverSeas League recital tour. Kristen recently performed at the Kanata Carleton Cultural Festival at the Earl of March High School in May. Kristen had hoped to hold Oboe for ORCF in Richmond but the size of the venue at the Woodroffe United Church is more suited to the event. In addition, the grand piano at the Woodroffe United Church fits in better with the event. Everyone is welcome
to attend this Oboe for ORCF event. Admission is simply a donation to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation (ORCF). At the event, there will be a silent auction held for a music print sponsored by Jeff Laibson which he gifted for the event. The oboe is a double reed woodwind instrument that is commonly played in orchestras and chamber music ensembles as well as a solo instrument.
Richmond Fair SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The 173rd Richmond Fair hosted by the Richmond Agricultural Society will take place from Thursday, Sept. 14 to Sunday, Sept. 17 at the Richmond fairgrounds at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road in Richmond.
