The hope that a full-blown farmers’ market would set up shop in Village Square this summer may have faded, but that doesn’t mean that fresh produce can’t be had in the central Stittsville park this summer. The Stittsville Farmer’s Market at the Barn will be operating every Friday this summer from 4-7 p.m. thanks to the efforts of the barn’s owner Suzanne Bird. The effort is in effect a small-scale farmers’ market in the old barn that is next to Village Square Park. Bird plans to hold the event every Friday this summer. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri calls the small-scale market effort a “great initiative.” See BARN, page 4

OPH chair calls for feedback on how pot will be distributed BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

The chairman of Ottawa Public Health is urging local residents to let the provincial government know their views on how legal marijuana should be regulated and distributed when pot becomes legal in Canada next year. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, chair of OPH, says provincial government consultations are now underway, and residents should make their voices heard so that when pot is legal in Ontario it is done in a manner that best protects communities from any legalization side effects. “I highly encourage all residents to have their say in this online consultation as the safe legalization of cannabis is something that affects all of us,” Qadri said.

“To ensure that any risk is minimalized, the province needs to hear from as many perspectives as possible. Let’s continue working toward keeping our communities safe,” he said. Ontario residents can have their say on important decisions related to the legalization of cannabis by participating in an online survey. Individuals and organizations will also be able to give their input by completing a consultation paper. To participate, go to ontario.ca/ cannabis before the end of July. According to the province, Ontario is asking for residents’ thoughts on how Ontario should approach cannabis legalization in a way that protects youth, prevents harm and ensures that Ontario’s roads continue to be among the safest in North America.

The federal government expects to legalize and regulate marijuana across Canada by Canada Day 2018. However, the feds are leaving it up to the provinces to set the framework within their boundaries on how to regulate the distribution, sale and consumptionof pot. It is also expected that Ontario’s Legalization of Cannabis Secretariat will be hosting a series of expert forums and engagement sessions this summer on the potential impacts of cannabis legalization in which the province will hear from a broad range of participants including municipal partners, public health experts, law enforcement, community agencies, youth advocates, Indigenous communities and already licensed producers of marijuana.

What Our Clients Have to Say! “Finding the right representative to sell your home is essential! Finding one you can trust is worth every penny! We met with a few agents and selected John because he was straight forward with setting expectations and responding to our questions. He has also had a sold house on our street, the same one twice. His experience in Stittsville was an advantage. He kept the communication open at all times and provided valuable feedback. His recommendations were not to always lower the price, but what could be done to meet our price. I am pleased we have chosen John and he sold our home within 6 weeks of it being on the market. We would recommend him and would hire his services again.” Linda and Kevin

Barn takes up the slack after farmers’ market plan put on hold for now

Writing group showcases work in its first-ever anthology

Continued from page 1

“While plans for an official full-scale Stittsville Farmer’s Market may currently be on hold, this cozy and creative implementation of the barn is a great way to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables provided by a local farmer,” Qadri said. The Ottawa Farmers’ Market Association decided at the beginning of July not to operate a market this summer in Stittsville, but the association is hopeful that a market could be in place in the summer of 2018. Farmers from Our Farm and producers of Haico’s Hot Sauce and other vendors will be at the Stittsville Farmers’ Market at the barn this Friday.

One of the most significant issues that any Councillor deals with on a daily basis, and certainly every rural Councillor, is the state of our roads. Since 2012, Council has continuously worked to close the funding gap when it comes to infrastructure renewal. This would include buildings, parks, sidewalks, roads, etc. In 2012, Council approved a one-time funding program called Ottawa on the Move that saw $340M invested directly into renewal between then and 2014. Additionally, over the last six years, Council has set aside annual increases to our renewal budget to help close that gap in our annual budget. It has helped but it hasn’t been nearly enough. The commitment that has been made in recent years has seen vast improvements in our rural road network throughout Ottawa. Over 30% of all annual road renewal funding is spent in the rural area. This year, for instance, the City is resurfacing Shea Road, Bleeks Road and William McEwen Drive. In recent years, we’ve seem renewal of Moodie Drive, Century Road West, Donnelly Drive, Bridge Street, Church Street, Ottawa Street and so on. Every time the City resurfaces a road, though, there is really no time to rest on our laurels as we have an abundance of other roads that require attention. The last time that the City did a Long Range Financial Plan and updated its Asset Management Plan was in 2012 and the result was that increased commitment to renewal and the Ottawa on the Move program. In recent weeks, Council approved our next Long Range Financial Plan with a major focus on infrastructure renewal. Even though we had been adding more money in every budget, our annual funding gap toward renewal is $70M. We are spending $125M on infrastructure renewal when we should be spending $195M. In June, Council approved our most recent update to the Long Range Financial Plan with the following key recommendations: • That the contribution from taxation for the renewal of existing assets be increased by inflation (Construction Price Index) and an additional $10.5 million in the 2018 budget, as a priority within Council’s approved tax targets. • That the annual contribution from taxation for the renewal of existing assets be increased annually by inflation and an additional $7.8 million per year starting in the 2019 budget for 9 years as outlined in this report. • That staff continue to pursue permanent stable funding from the federal and provincial governments for the renewal of existing assets. This significant increase in funding will help advance more roads, parks and building renewal projects in the coming years. Further to that, we have also improved some additional funding for this year and I have been working with staff to try and secure some improvements in Richmond on Strachan, Martin and Colonel Murray. It likely won’t be full resurfacing but something better than the patch work that was done previously.

OPINION

Connected to your community

All workers deserve fair pay

inimum wage. Two words that are leading to a maximum amount of discussion these days. Should it go up to $15 as the provincial government is proposing or is this $3.60 per hour increase in wages an action that will cause distress and, some suggest, even cause bankruptcy for businesses. Some economists predict doom and gloom from this increase in the minimum wage. Others say that it will spur the economy. What, oh what are we to believe? It seems this decision should not be made on economic predictions as there are economists on both sides of the issue, putting forth what at face value appear to be valid and opposite suppositions. Rather, this is a decision that very much should be made in the context of our Canadian values. Canada is a country that prides itself on equality, fairness and acceptance. In so many situations, Canadians step forward and do (or try to do) what is right and fair and just. It’s part of our DNA. It’s why our society and country are so admired around the world. And so when we know that the prescribed so-called minimum wage is not adequate, we as Canadians should apply our principles of fair play and justice and equality

and do something about it. This is what the provincial government is proposing to do, but not without lots of pushback from the business community which seems to view “minimum wage” as the “maximum wage.” These businesses don’t want to pay a fair wage, just the lowest possible wage. They have been built on low minimum wages and any change will threaten their existence — or so they say. These are businesses that have absorbed increasing electricity rates and presumably will be benefitting from lower power rates beginning this summer. These are businesses that are always susceptible to rent or tax increases. All these varying costs are managed when they happen, either through increasing the charge for products or services or improved, more efficient management. So too can any wage increases. It’s time business stopped relying on this minimum wage crutch and started treating employees with fairness and equality, paying a fair wage for work provided. That’s the Canadian way. We do it in so many of our actions. It’s time we did it for the rate that we pay the workers on bottom rung of the economic ladder. They won’t be getting rich, but at least they will be closer to earning a living wage that is fair and just.

Public transit needs to be convenient and affordable

et another highrise development, this one on Richmond Road, is gradually moving ahead. Yet again, the approval of the development is keyed to its closeness to light rail. We watch all these decisions, one after another, and we’re thinking: “I hope they know what they’re doing.” Because if they don’t … We all know the reasoning: Highdensity development near the LRT line will bring about a new Ottawa, one in which easy access to rapid transit will reduce people’s dependence on cars, thus creating a new, less polluted and less congested city. Many developments have been approved in recent years, based on this premise. And many of those developments are at a height greater than is customarily allowed. But it’s all for a good cause, planners and city councillors agree.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Let’s hope so. Because, if it isn’t, if the premise is wrong, we are stuck with a city full of tall buildings, blotting out the sunlight and casting shadows over streets clogged with even more cars. That’s not pleasant to contemplate, but it wouldn’t do us any harm to assume that the high-density promised land won’t come about automatically because tall buildings are allowed to sprout. A few things may need to be done. Some have suggested that restricting the number of parking spaces for the residents of the new buildings may

do the trick. But people are resourceful, none more so than those who are desperate to hang on to their automobiles. They will find ways to stash them somewhere. So that alone won’t work. A more productive approach would be to provide incentives for people to use that new public transit we are so expensively providing for them. One obvious way would be to make that public transit good. Putting gleaming new trains close to their tall homes should accomplish that (although it would be nice to think that the improvements could also be brought to those who live farther from the LRT lines). The mere existence of the LRT line is certainly an incentive but there are disincentives too. Cost would be one. While it is undeniably true that the cost of relying on transit is far less than the cost of owning and main-

taining a car, that fact may not be obvious to all. It may not be enough to offset the perceived convenience of using a car instead of public transit. There are two ways of attacking that. One is to make using a car less convenient. Traffic congestion alone accomplishes that. Making parking less available downtown can help as well, but not many city officials would be prepared to take the political rap for that. Plus, the shopping centres away from the centre of town offer ample parking and no one is going to take that away. If we really want the people in these new towers — and people in general — to make more use of public transit, we need to make public transit less expensive. That means not just holding a lid on fare increases but even lowering fares. Why not?

Hazeldean Gardens to open sometime next summer SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence now under construction is scheduled to open sometime next summer. No exact date has yet been set, but already about 30 per cent of the 173 suites in the facility are spoken for,

with more information sessions in the works including one in Amberwood later this month. This new Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence is being built on part of the site of the former Stittsville Flea Market on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville.

Theresa Qadri (right) of the Rotary Club of Ottawa - Stittsville presents a gift of appreciation to Dianne Hartson-Lalonde (left), general manager of the Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence, for being the guest speaker at the Club’s July 12 meeting.

Dianne Hartson-Lalonde, general manager of Hazeldean Gardens, speaking at the July 12 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville, explained that Hazeldean Gardens will be a full-service residence offering a continuum of care ranging from independent living through to assisted care. This means that residents will be able to “age in place” by having higher levels of care available to them as their needs change. She described some of the building’s features which will include a bistro and bar directly off the lobby, a main dining room, a salt water aqua fitness swimming pool, a greenhouse and a theatre with a sloped floor that will also serve as a chapel when needed. Other features included covered parking, heated sidewalk at the front entrance, lobby with salt water aquarium and fireplace, library with computers for resident use, free Wi-Fi throughout the building, fitness room, on-site physiotherapy clinic, hair salon, games room and four elevators. Ms. Hartson-Lalonde also noted that the building will be adjacent to the area around the Welcome to Stittsville sign at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street where Hazeldean Gardens has entered into a partnership with the City of Ottawa and the Kavanagh family (owners of the former flea market) to

develop with park-like features like a putting green, bocce ball and benches. This will be open to both residents as well as members of the community. Hazeldean Gardens will have studios, one-bedroom suites and twobedroom suites, ranging in price from $2,900 per month for a studio unit to $6,800 a month for a two-bedroom suite. A studio will have 383 square feet of usable space while a two-bedroom suite will have 892 square feet of usable space. There are also various options in between these sizes. All independent living suites will have a kitchenette, storage space, individual temperature control, a shower with built-in bench and a nurse call button. Residents will receive two meals a day as well as weekly house-

keeping service. Meals will be prepared by a Red Seal chef. Ms. Hartson-Lalonde noted that Hazeldean Gardens will have a couple of vehicles that will be used to take residents to local medical appointments and on scheduled outings. Hazeldean Gardens will not be part of a corporate chain but instead will be owned and operate by Wit Lewandowski, who is an accredited geriatric pharmacist, his wife Terry, his cousin Vicki Jackson, her husband Murray and the Jackson's son Allan. In the past, they have built and operate two other retirement residences, Rideau Gardens in Ottawa and Quinte Gardens in Belleville, both of which have now been sold. Hazeldean Gardens will be their only facility.

John Curry/Metroland

The new Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence, now at four of its eventual five storeys, is being erected on part of the site of the former Stittsville Flea Market on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study

The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report for a Baseline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road. This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and documented in an Environmental Project Report prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The Environmental Project Report documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The Final Environmental Project Report for the Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor is now available for a 30-day public review period starting July 13, 2017. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the Notice of Commencement phase, which began on May 18, 2017. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

Sisters on cross-Canada horseback ride stop at Sunset Farms on Hazeldean Rd. BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Stittsville has been a hitching post on a crossCanada horseback ride. Sisters Katie Keca, 23, and Jewel Keca, 18, from Grimsby, ON arrived at Sunset Farms on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville on their crosscountry horseback ride Thursday evening, July 13. A message written on a feed bag and placed on the barn door welcomed them to Sunset Farms where Tori Walker, substituting for farm owner Grits McMullen who was away in the United States, let the sisters place their horses in a ring, with feed and grass on hand. The sisters also met their parents at Sunset Farms as they had travelled from Grimsby that day to meet them there. The whole family was going to spend a few days with the sisters’ uncle in Stittsville before continuing on their crossCanada trek, heading up through West Carleton to Arnprior and Renfrew and beyond. The two sisters hope to reach at least Manitoba before taking a break for the winter and then completing the ride next year. The pair are riding across Canada to raise money for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, an organization that raises and trains dogs to serve as dog guides. They chose this cause to support in their ride after Jewel served as a foster parent for Kazi, a young dog which she had to socialize in preparation for becoming a dog guide. It was this time with Kazi that convinced the girls that the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides should be the cause

supported by their cross-Canada ride because dog guides allow people to live with independence, something not possible without such a dog. The sisters are also doing the ride to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday by exploring the country at a slower pace while their brother Joseph makes a documentary of the adventure. The Keca sisters set out on their cross-country ride May 4 from Mahone Bay, NS, meaning that they had been on the trail for over 70 days by the time that they reached Stittsville on July 13. They had come from Gloucester the night before, travelling through Richmond to reach Stittsville and Sunset Farms. Where they stay overnight on their trip varies, as it is mainly by word of mouth among the equestrian community that they get to stop at farms such as Sunset Farms. Over the course of their travels so far, they have slept in houses, tents, barn lofts and cabins. They have been joined on their adventure by their 25-year-old brother Joseph Keca who has been serving as the videographer and photographer for the trip. He hopes to make a documentary about the trip based on all of the videos that he is making along the way. You might assume that Joseph is driving a support vehicle for his sisters but you would be wrong, because Joseph is also “mounted” for this journey, not on a horse but on a pedal bicycle. Yes, he is bicycling along as his sisters ride, carrying all of his video equipment, computer and necessities with him. See BROTHER, page 13

Brother riding bike on journey Continued from page 12

He already has gone through three sets of tires and has done other mechanical work on his bicycle, but he still claims that riding and looking after a bicycle is a “lot easier than a horse.” Sisters Katie and Jewel have no accompanying support vehicle which surprises many. They carry what they need and have arranged for feed for the horses along the route. As for their own food, the sisters rely on the generosity of those they meet or make sandwiches or purchase their meals. Jewel says that so far on the trip they have ended up walking their horses much of the time rather than riding them. The horses have been outfitted with boots on their hooves in place of horseshoes which would have required replacement every couple of weeks, quite an expense and also quite a challenge to find a farrier when needed. The girls wear yellow safety vests when riding along their route. They say that they have experienced a lot of rain so far on the trip. But there have been many highlights along the trip as well, some provided by nature. Jewel recalls that on their first day riding in Ontario, when they covered a total of 46 kilometres in the one day, meaning that they rode until about 10 p.m., they experienced a most glorious display of fireflies, virtually lighting up the trail. While in Stittsville, the girls planned to visit the

Ottawa National Horse Show at the Wesley Clover Parks on July 14, not just to witness the equestrian action but also to promote their cross-Canada trip. Katie Keca, 23, is an actor as well as an animal lover. She studied theatre at Concordia University in Montreal. Jewel Keca, 18, is a recent high school graduate and animal lover. Their horses on their journey are Katie’s horse Lux, a 12-year-old quarter horse/thoroughbred/Arabian mix and Jewel’s horse Ora, a five-year-old full Appaloosa. Their brother Joseph, 25, who decided to join his sisters on this adventure just a couple of days before they started, has named his bike Abe, a three-letter name just like the names of his sisters’ horses. The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, which is being supported by this cross-Canada horseback ride, is a nonprofit organization that raises and trains dog to help someone in need. There are different dog guides with some trained for vision help, some for autism assistance, some for diabetic alert, some for seizure response and some for being a service dog. The cost to train one dog guide is about $20,000. The Keca sisters hope to raise enough funds from John Curry/Metroland their cross-Canada ride to pay for the training of at least one dog guide. The sisters also hope to raise At Sunset Farms in Stittsville, a stop on a cross country horseback ride by the Keca awareness about dog guides in general through their sisters of Grimsby, ON, are (from left), Jewel Keca, Tori Walker of Sunset Farms, journey.

Ride is raising funds for Lions Dog Guides program Continued from page 13

When a prospective dog guide is seven weeks old, it is put with a foster family or person where the dog learns basic skills and is socialized to different places and situations. This is what Jewel was for the puppy Kazi, which really showed her the value of the dog guide program. Once the puppy is about

a year old, it undergoes training to be a dog guide. It is then provided to a new owner/handler free of charge and they will be together for six or seven years until the dog is retired. Donations to help out the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program can be made directly to the Dog Guides by sending in a cheque referencing

Trees removed, developer to plant 800 new ones SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

This area’s settlers worked long days and even longer years to clear the land on which they grew crops and pastured their livestock. They did this with the most rudimentary of tools and with the sweat of their brows. Nowadays, the clearing of land is still happening in Stittsville, albeit in preparing land for the building of houses on it rather than for agricultural purposes. One location where this is happening is at the former Davidson farm at the southwest corner of Fernbank Road and Shea Road where Tartan Land Consultants Inc. has proposed a 720-unit housing subdivision. The subdivision is being called EdenWylde. Clearing this land of trees and brush was ongoing throughout the past winter and spring as the 42-hectare site is prepared for development. Trees on the site have been removed including a thin strip of trees behind existing homes on Friendly Crescent to the immediate west of the new subdivision. There had been pleas to retain this strip of trees, but they could not be retained according to the developer due to the density of the planned housing units along with the grading demands for the site. Indeed, this is why no existing trees on the site are being retained. The trees along the western property line adjacent to existing homes on Friendly Crescent could not be retained because of an engineering requirement for a linear swale to channel storm water. So, while all existing trees are being removed from the site, Tartan will be planting about 800 new trees on the site as development progresses. Tartan has also agreed to construct a 1.8-metre high wooden privacy fence along the rear lot line of new lots backing onto existing properties in the northwest corner of the subdivision.

The subdivision will also have a park and an existing Hydro One transmission line runs through the site. A tributary of the Faulkner Drain abuts the southwestern edge of the site. There is also a drainage ditch that runs along Shea Road adjacent to the site. This subdivision and the proposed related zoning conform with the Stittsville South Developing Community Concept Plan. This plan proposes various residential densities (low, medium and high), commercial, parkland and storm water management uses. The majority of this proposed subdivision is designated low and medium density residential, with a small

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Paying It Forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Stittsville Public School SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Grade six students at Stittsville Public School have been helping various charities and service organizations. Their efforts, which go back to February, were on display at a Pay It Forward showcase in the school gymnasium June 21. Students in the three grade six classes at the school, working in teams, selected an organization to help through fundraising and through creating awareness. These organizations included the Salvation Army, CHEO, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ottawa Humane Society, Ottawa Dog Rescue, Harmony House and more, including organizations involved with autism, bees, Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and wheelchairs. And, boy, did the students ever pay it forward in a big way. Altogether, the students raised a total of $6,309.40 for the various organizations and causes. This included selling 745 items at bake sales, selling 385 glasses of lemonade at lem-

onade sales, collecting 1,966 bottles in bottle drives. It also included 191 hours of volunteer work. The students also collected more than 2,178 items and talked to 1,318 people during their door-to-door sales and awareness efforts. A total of 21,500 pop tabs were collected and 220 fidget spinners were sold. The team of students Nolan Runte, Parker Stretch, Ibrahim Mohanmad and Jordan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil not only raised $482.86 for the Ottawa Humane Society by selling â&#x20AC;&#x153;fidget spinnersâ&#x20AC;? at $7 each but they also learned not only about the Humane Society but also about business in general as well. The group had set an original goal of raising $100 for the Humane Society but ended up far surpassing this goal with the $482.86 raised. The students had held a bottle drive to raise the funds to purchase the first spinners which it then in turn sold to others. The students also learned

about the history of the Humane Society and how the Humane Society is there to help animals. The Ottawa Humane Society was also the focus of the project of students Ran Botvinkin and Geonha An who tried to raise awareness about animals and how they deserved care and love. The student team of Kayla Bowden, Nadina Adulobic, Amy Hornung and Victoria Ritchie also chose to direct their efforts to helping the Ottawa Humane Society which deals with abuse of animals but also added the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) which helps woman and children in abusive situations. The group raised over $700 for these causes through lemonade sales and other initiatives. They also went door-to-door to raise awareness about these two organizations and their work.

The group purchase items for dogs and also put together care packages for the women and children in the WOCRC program helping those in abusive home situations. This group also used the Pay It Forward showcase itself as an opportunity to hold a raffle at its display table with a mystery bag as the prize.

Student Katie Johnson chose to help out Pop Tabs for Wheelchairs as her Pay It Forward project. Her goal was to collect 10,000 pop tabs, a goal which she exceeded, with 21,300 tabs being collected altogether. Jars were placed in classrooms and collected at the end of each week. This project also helped raise awareness about this program in which pop tabs can be collected and then used to acquire wheelchairs to provide to those in need of them.

It was a third-place showing for Lauren Hunkin of Ashton, riding Victoria, in the $7,500 Lynn Millar Memorial Speed Derby held at the Ottawa National Horse Show at Wesley Clover Parks in Ottawa on July 15.

bine to make a difference. It was announced at the Evening of Appreciation that an in memoriam gift in Richard’s name was being made to the Munster Union Cemetery. At the Evening of Appreciation, Goulbourn Museum acting manager Tracey Donaldson thanked everyone present for their contributions to the museum over the past year. She pointed out a number of accomplishments at the Goulbourn Museum over the past year including launching two new exhibits, implementing a system to allow for payment by credit cards, presentation of the Ontario Museum Association’s “Promising Leadership Award of Excellence” to manager Kathryn Jamieson, who is currently on maternity leave, holding of a successful Old Fashioned Christmas event which attracted about 700 people, the largest number ever, the donation of 432 artifacts to the Goulbourn Museum and the contribution of 1,110 hours by

volunteers to the museum. It was noted that the City of Ottawa is just about to replace the floor of the Goulbourn Museum building. All of the exhibits have been moved out of the building in anticipation of the project, which is expected to begin this week and to be completed in September so that the Goulbourn Museum can reopen in the building in October. One special activity which was available to those attending this Evening of Appreciation was an opportunity to paint a commemorative rock which would then be placed along a pathway in the forest area beside the Goulbourn Museum site. Previous recipients of the Goulbourn Museum’s Heritage Advocacy Award have been Pat Roberts, 2010; Linda Preston and Cheryl McCoy, 2011; Sheila Cain-Sample, Hilda Moore and Virginia Notley, 2012; Brenda Holtz, 2013; John Curry, 2014; and Helene Rivest, 2015.

The Goulbourn Museum’s annual Evening of Appreciation provides an opportunity for the museum to thank its volunteers and supporters for their efforts over the past year. And this special evening, which was held on Thursday, July 13, also gives the museum an opportunity to recognize an individual’s outstanding contribution to the Goulbourn Museum. This year that individual was the late Richard Mains, who was honoured posthumously for his outstanding contribution to the Goulbourn Museum with the awarding of the Heritage Advocacy Award. Richard tirelessly worked on arranging the documents of the past, pouring through old documents to produce a well-ordered history of the past. He organized all of the records pertaining to the Munster Union Cemetery which are now available for research purposes at the Goulbourn Museum. He also compiled the records pertaining to Richmond cemeteries as well as cemeteries in Prospect and Ashton and the Dewar’s, Kennedy and Shillington cemeteries. Richard was a longtime member of the Goulbourn Museum and served on the museum committee until 2002. Richard’s son Jason, speaking on behalf of the family at the presentation of the award, noted that his father’s life revolved around local history. He told how his father began researching his own family’s history but then expanded his scope to research the local cemeteries as well as John Curry/Metroland other historical matters.

Sparky was king of the cats in the old barn

parky was older than I was. And he ruled the roost as far as the cat population went at the farm. He was an orange colour, and one eye was green and the other blue. He certainly wasn’t much to look at. The barn cats, and there were many of them, could be held and cuddled. Not Sparky! If I tried to pick him up, he would go stiff as a board, snarl, and glare at me, and act like maiming me for life was a distinct possibility. So, I left him alone. The barn cats were never allowed in the house. Mother thought anything walking on four feet should be in the

MARY COOK Memories barn! I never knew where all the kittens came from. I thought everyone in Northcote had a pile of them, and I heard that some people, when the numbers grew, put them in a grist bag and threw them in the Bonnechere River. The very thought sent chills right through my body,

and I was grateful none of our cats came to that end. And it wasn’t unusual for someone like Two Mile Herman to bring a kitten to the Northcote School and try to talk someone into taking it home. This rarely worked, since we all had our own barnful

of cats. No one could remember when or where Sparky came from. But one day my older brother Everett said it was Sparky who was responsible for the pack of cats we housed in the barn. I couldn’t imagine how that was possible. He never left the place to bring a new cat to the farm. And when I mentioned that fact to Everett, he just threw back his head and laughed. Sparky was as big as a small Collie dog, and he always looked like he had had a serious confrontation with some wild animal in the bush, which he frequented often. Sometimes he would be gone for days, and as soon as Father would say “good riddance,” there Sparky would appear as large as life. That was when I first heard that a cat had nine lives. How anyone figured that out was beyond me. Did someone stop to count them? I did know the barn cats survived many close calls though. Often a cow would kick a cat and it would land several feet away, stand up, shake itself off as if getting rid of the chaff from the hay laying around, and walk off as if nothing had happened.

I once asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey what the cats ate. We certainly never fed them. There were several old battered tin plates in the barn that were filled with milk when the milking was done. But to me that was all they ever put in their stomachs. But Audrey said they survived on eating mice. That

on my lap, and my greatest joy was when it snuggled down and started to purr. Never in a hundred years could I do that with Sparky! Some of the barn cats were black and white, and sometimes a grey striped kitten would appear, and occasionally, I would go into the barn and find a new batch of kittens huddled in the hay, and

I didn’t know whether to root for the cat or the mouse, since I loved animals of every description too, sent chills up my back. I didn’t know whether to root for the cat or the mouse, since I loved animals of every description. So if the cats survived on mice and milk, they sure flourished. I once tried to give them names, but so many of them looked alike that I gave up. Except for Sparky. For the longest time he was the only one in the barn who had different coloured eyes. On hot summer days, one of my favourite places was sitting on the cement platform that held the pump and often a barn cat would wander over, and I would take it

they would be the spitting image of Sparky. Once I found one new kitten that even had two different coloured eyes. I could never figure out how a new kitten could look like old Sparky. By way of explanation, my brother Everett would just say, “old Sparky’s been at it again” whatever that meant. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Here come ‘moon dogs’ SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Moon dogs are coming to Stittsville. So, what exactly are moon dogs and where will they be? A moon dog is an original style hotdog with condiments, apparently the first hotdog served in Canada. These moon dogs will be featured at a 1930s style barbecue that will be part of a Picnic in the Park being held by the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park in Stittsville. These moon dogs will be served with kettle chips and lemonade, with those serving them dressed in 1930s costumes. This moon dog barbecue will be catered by the Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville, with any proceeds being shared by the Knights of Columbus and the Rotary Club. Cost for the moon dog plus kettle chips and lemonade will be $20 for

a family of four. This Picnic in the Park is being held to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Besides the moon dog barbecue, there will be games and entertainment. It will be open to everyone in the community. Also in the plans for the event is an official ceremony to mark the park’s name change from W.J. Bell Memorial Park

to W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. It is expected that Mayor Jim Watson as well as Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri will be in attendance for this ceremony. The park’s name was changed to reflect the presence there of a peace park which has been developed by the Rotary Club in partnership with the City of Ottawa. This peace park includes a labyrinth.

John Curry/Metroland

A new sign has been erected, bearing the new name of the former W.J. Bell Memorial Park on Stittsville Main Street at Fernbank Road with the new name being the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park to recognize not only Mr. Bell but also the presence of the Rotary Peace Park and labyrinth at the park.

What’s up, doc, around the village of Stittsville? *A little bit more about Rachel Ross of Stittsville, who received a $1,000 scholarship from the Stittsville District Lions Club recently to help her with expenses, as she will be attending the University of Waterloo this fall to continue her studies. She graduated this year from Grade 12 at the Governor’s Academy in the village of Byfield, Mass., 33 miles north of Boston. An email note from Dr. Peter H. Quimby, head of the school, calls Rachel “remarkable” and a “terrific young person.” He got to know her as he served as a dorm parent in Rachel’s dorm for part of her senior year where he found her to be a “wonderful person and talented student leader.” Rachel was a senior proctor to a dormitory of 11 girls. “Rachel was also an accomplished student and was recognized at graduation with our Moody Kent Prize for outstanding achievement in foreign language,” Dr. Quimby notes. *The Stittsville 56ers of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League lost a close one to the visiting Kars Aces at the Alexander Grove diamond on Wednesday, July 12.

Adam Smith was the winning pitcher for the 56ers in this game. *Allen McGee of Carp, who plays out of the Stittsville Golf Club (formerly the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club) on Fernbank Road, won the Ottawa Valley Golf Association’s men’s masters’ championship on July 12, firing a six under par 66 to win by one stroke over Rob Knights from the Grey Hawk Golf Club.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

July 20, 2017

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Traffic Calming Measures in Stittsville I wanted to take a moment to discuss some of the valuable traffic calming measures that the City of Ottawa has been implementing in our residential neighbourhoods in conjunction with my office. As I have expressed in the past, speeding is a major concern for both Ottawa Police Services and myself as your City Councillor. It is something that endangers the lives and safety of all residents whether they be pedestrians, cyclists, or other drivers. Unfortunately, speeding is not a problem that can be solved overnight but with proper education and deterrents, we can begin to make the change. The “Slow Down for Us” campaign initiated by Safer Roads Ottawa is just one of these educational proponents. It encourages and reminds drivers to be aware of the risks they take when they choose to speed, particularly on residential streets where many of our parks are located in which our children play. The initiative also provides the opportunity for neighbours to chat with each other about the issue, to promote their support by placing a sign on their property and encourages them to act as role models when it comes to speeding on their own streets. Traffic calming flex stakes are another example of an educational resource meant to bring awareness to speeding on residential streets. Implemented as a means to narrow roads, measures such as these demonstrate to drivers how easily vehicular control is diminished at such high speeds and, as such, encourages drivers to slow down to ensure they are avoided. Speedbumps and speed humps are other traffic calming measures which have mixed results in other areas of the City. Unfortunately, in smaller areas, these measures inhibit the accessibility of a street to Emergency Medical Vehicles. They also obstruct the way for snow plows, making it difficult to navigate roads and properly clear streets with parked vehicles. Alternatively, these measures are semi-permanent and very expensive to remove should the need arise. As such, in recent years, staff is very considerate before adding speedbumps and speed humps unless it is to be an absolute last-case scenario. Another new tool that the City is employing are speed cushions which can be used on wider streets for both large and small vehicles to navigate. Working with City staff, I am continuing to work on traffic calming measures yet to come across our communities. The City’s new Building Better Smarter Suburbs project currently underway will also help to ensure that new roads are designed based on efficiency. It is also important to note that Ottawa Police Service (OPS) enforces speed monitoring in residential areas based on the reports they receive. If you are concerned about speeding on your street, please use the OPS online reporting system with the time of occurrence and details of vehicles you witness and encourage your neighbours to do the same. OPS responds to traffic concerns according to the 4 E’s of Traffic safety: Education, Engineering, Enforcement, and Emergency Response. If you have concerns in regards to speeding or other community issues, please remember that my door is always open. Residents are welcome to contact my office at any time to set up an appointment by email at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca or calling 613-580-2476. Deer Run Splash Pad Update and Construction Schedule Construction on the new Deer Run Park splash pad has begun! I have received an official construction schedule and am happy to advise that if all construction runs smoothly, weather-permitting, the splash pad should be fully operational by August 28th! This is great news for local residents as it means that there will still be opportunities left of warm weather to cool off and partake in the new facilities. I hope that all residents take full advantage of these park facilities when active. In the meantime, I encourage residents to stop by one of Stittsville’s other great splash pads at Bandmaster Park, Pioneer Plains Park, Haliburton Park, or Upcountry Park, or visit Ottawa.ca for a list of all other active splash pads in Ottawa. Splash pads hours of operation are 9 am to 9 pm. For the full construction schedule, please visit shadqadri.com Planning Committee approves zoning for Tartan’s EdenWylde Subdivision On July 11th the City’s Planning Committee approved the zoning report for Tartan’s EdenWylde Subdivision located at 5970 Fernbank Road. The report will not go forward for approval to City Council on July 26th. The zoning application is to permit a residential subdivision containing 326 single detached, 26 semi-detached, 233 multiple attached and 135 low-rise apartment dwelling units and one park, as detailed in the plan of subdivision. I supported this zoning as it reflects the plan of subdivision that has been presented to the public. While this site is located in Councillor Moffatt’s ward, we have been working together on development applications in the urban boundary in his ward as they have an impact on the residents in ward 6. I would like to thank Tartan Homes for their co-operation in ensuring that we follow the plans presented to the public. They had requested a change to the plans to permit a higher density in one location and while that was a minor request in nature, I felt the community may be concerned with not being consulted on the change and therefore Tartan agreed to follow the existing plan. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

Bob Lewis heads Stittsville Lions SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Stittsville District Lions Club has a new president. Bob Lewis has been installed as the Club’s president for the coming term, heading the new board of directors. He replaces Wayne Beaten who now becomes immediate past president. Other Lions Club members serving on the board of directors include Gordon MacIsaac as Lion tamer, bulletin editor and publicity officer; Brenda Miller as tail twister; Jack Burke as Lions Clubs International Foundation co-ordinator; Paul Riddell as first vice-president; Ed Meunier as second vice-president; Darryl Metzger as third vice-president; Beth Lewis as membership director; Ron Armstrong as Medical Centre

director; Don Carson and Robert Gregory as directors, completing the second year of their two-year terms; Don Zogalo and Don Redtman as directors, serving the first year of a two-year term; Ian Willsher as treasurer; and Ed Meunier as secretary. In his remarks at the installation ceremony for the new officers, outgoing president Beaten told the Lions Club members that they can all take pride in the club’s accomplishments over the years such as providing $50,000 in funding to hospitals. He said the club has done a marvelous job serving the community in the past and he is confident that it will continue to do this in the future. He said if the Lions Club is active in the community, it will attract new members. He urged all members to pull together and work

hard for the benefit of Stittsville and the community. He presented achievement pins to lions Beth Lewis, Ed Meunier, Murray Grant and Robert Gregory for the roles that they played with the club over the past year, which included immediate past president, secretary, treasurer and committee chair respectively.

Incoming Lions Club president Bob Lewis, who presented a past president’s plaque to outgoing president Beaten, called on all of the Lions Club members to work hard in the coming year, saying this would make a difference to the club and the community.

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Liberals Ignoring Small Business Owners Last week I attended the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs consultation on the new minimum wage bill. I heard from business owners from across eastern Ontario who told us what impact this new bill is going to have on them. They told us what I have been hearing ever since this bill was introduced, that this will be unaffordable. Imagine having to incur a 30% increase to your household expenses overnight. I image there aren’t many people who could afford a change like that, I certainly couldn’t. But this is the reality Kathleen Wynne is forcing on our small and medium sized businesses. On top of this increase the provincial government is adding new benefits that business owners aren’t prepared for. Making matters worse, business owners are being faced with employees who already make $15/hr expecting a raise in wages since they will soon only be making the minimum wage. From what several permanent committee members said, it appears that what the concerns raised by our business owners weren’t specific to Ottawa, but are in fact shared by business owners around the province. So why then is our Premier forcing this irresponsible decision on already overly stressed business owners?
