Connecting students to nature goal of new outdoor classroom

ONLINE at ottawacommunitynews.com

BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

A new outdoor classroom at Stittsville Public School is being touted as not only a way for students to learn in a natural setting, but also as a means to foster an appreciation of the environment in young students. “We are so excited to finally have the official opening of our outdoor classroom,” Stittsville Public School principal Catherine Donnelly said.

Students given opportunity to connect with nature Continued from page 1

Donnelly made the comment to the elementary school’s students, staff and dignitaries who gathered behind the school on Friday, Sept. 29, at the official opening ceremony of the outdoor classroom that was a long-time goal of the school’s parents council and staff. “It prepares all of you to be more environmentally aware,” Donnelly said. “Research shows there are incredible benefits to connecting with nature. “It is an incredible opportunity for learning to be applied in a natural setting,” she said. It was a theme that was stressed by all those who spoke at the ceremony, including Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Trustee Lynn Scott and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who called the outdoor classroom “an outdoor textbook.” Scott said the natural environment is a treasure for all Canadians to enjoy, and the outdoor classroom is an important step in fostering within students the idea that the natural environment is a part of

their heritage as Canadians. “There’s a lot we can learn out in our natural environment,” Scott said. “I believe it is important for everybody to be really in touch with the environment and respect it. To learn from it, and enjoy it.”

“It is an incredible opportunity for learning to be applied in a natural setting.” Stittsville Public School principal Catherine Donnelly

thrilled that the outdoor classroom has become a reality. “As parents, we couldn’t be happier to finally see this come to be,” Kemp said. The classroom was developed thanks to the support of the school’s council and fundraising efforts along with some funding from the school board, TD Bank’s Friends of the environment foundation and the city’s Community Environmental Projects Grant Program. Grade 6 student Ben Kemp said students appreciate the opportunities that the outdoor classroom offers. Fun place to learn

Donnelly stressed how the outdoor classroom can be used for learning such as for science lessons that would allow students to learn about habitats by observing them first hand, for example. Along with the school’s students who took part in the opening ceremony, parents who played a key role in fostering the creation of the outdoor classroom also attended, including past school council chair Sabrina Kemp, who was

Residents go over pros and cons of winter parking changes Still time to comment on Fairwinds winter parking pilot project BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

A generally receptive response greeted a proposed winter parking pilot project targeted for the Fairwinds area of Stittsville at a public forum held on Sept. 28. More than 50 residents from the Fairwinds community attended the meeting at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, where city staff explained a plan to eliminate parking on one side of the street on numerous roads in the community from Dec. 1 to March 30. While for the most part most of the questions raised by residents at the meeting had to do with the details of such a plan, some residents did question why certain streets were included and others raised concern about a lack of parking for visitors to their homes during the winter months. “This is all driven by comments from the community,” City of Ottawa traffic assess-

ment specialist Kerry-Lynn Mohr said of whether the city will move forward with the pilot project this winter. “If this is something the community doesn’t want, then we are not going to pursue this,” she said. Feedback

The meeting at the GRC was a way to get public feedback and explain the plan to residents. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said more than 700 notices about the meeting were delivered to residences in the community before the meeting, and for those who did not attend, there is still time to make their views known on the project. The city will continue to seek public comment until Friday, Oct. 13, through Qadri’s email at shad.qadri@ottawa.ca or Mohr’s email at Kerry-lynn. mohr@Ottawa.ca. By eliminating parking on one side of some streets, the pilot project hopes to make it

easier to clear snow from the community as well as make it easier for residents to maneuver on snowy streets during the winter months. “There are some operational issues that support this,” Phil Landry, director of traffic services for the city, said of the benefit such a move would have for snow clearing crews. Qadri said he has been working with city staff and the Fairwinds Community Association to try and address some concerns residents have raised about winter road conditions in the area, which is how the idea for a pilot project evolved. Fairwinds Community Association president Glen Gower said his association has forwarded numerous comments to the city about the pilot project and is supportive, although another member of the association did wonder what the criteria will be used to determine if the winter parking ban on one side of some streets is a success. Mohr said the city is still

A pilot project that would ban parking on one side of the street during the winter months on some roads in the Fairwinds community in Stittsville is being considered by the city. reviewing public comments and if the project does indeed go forward, the final details of which streets will be included and criteria for evaluating success will come from the analysis of resident comments. Mohr said a similar pilot

project was undertaken in Barrhaven and that was deemed a success and will continue in the future, although she did point out that that pilot project only involved five streets. “This will be the largest pilot of this type that the city has un-

dertaken,” Qadri said. “There was an interest to concentrate the pilot in the areas north and south of Maple Grove. “In future, more streets could be reviewed to be included for the pilot,” he said.

It is something she has always wanted to do. Sometimes you just have to do it. And now that she has, there appears to be no stopping her. Not only has Stittsville’s Priscilla Bertrand self-published her first novel Face Time With A Vampire through FriesenPress, but she has already completed work on a sequel to the book that is just her latest venture into the world of writing. “It is just something I have to do,” she said in an interview at her home. “It is something that has always been in me. I have a passion for writing,” Bertrand said. That passion has seen some of her poetry being published previously, but now writing has become more of a full-time gig. The former healthcare worker now has the time to dedicate herself to the writing life, and she has the full support of her husband John to follow that passion to wherever it takes her writing. And at this time, that passion takes her into the world of handsome globetrotting vampires in her first book. The basic story of Face Time With A Vampire follows the relationship between a bored suburban retiree who is enthralled by “a mysterious man” who moves in across the street after her beloved husband has passed away. The main character named Jasmine “is immediately captivated by Baron, her wealthy, kind and handsome new neighbour. Soon she’s in the midst of a whirlwind romance, being wined, dined and showered in gifts and

Businesses united in trying to work together after BIA scrapped BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

A critic of an effort to establish a business improvement area in Stittsville says that now that creating a BIA has been scrapped, the business community is united in wanting to work together for the betterment of the community and its businesses. But the key to that is to do so without a manditory levy that businessses would have faced had a BIA been established. “We’ve been through this before,” said Jo-Ann McKenna, a business owner in Stittsville, of the effort to start a BIA in Stittsville. “Now that we’ve overcome that again, there is a desire for us in the business community to work together in a way that we can all agree with.”

What has come out of discussions within the business community during the short lived effort to rally support for a BIA is a desire among some business leaders to work together within some form of a business association that would be voluntary. “Our first endeavor will likely be to plan a breakfast meeting for local owners/managers to attend where, hopefully, we can involve as many businesses as possible to address some of the concerns and issues shared by us as business owners,” McKenna said of the next steps to be taken. She said that as of the end of last week, a timeline for establishing a voluntary business association was still to be determined. A meeting held on Sept. 20 that brought together members of the Stittsville BIA steering

committee and business people in the community who had expressed opposition to a formal BIA led to the steering committtee’s decision to scrap any further efforts to establish a BIA in Stittsville. The steering committee’s chair Jim Walker told the Stittsville News that he did not think there was enough support within Stittsville’s business community to move forward. An online survey that businesses were asked to participate in was conducted, and it is publically unknown at this point what that survey actually showed. McKenna said although BIA critics such as herself have not been shown the results of that survey, she suspects the results were not good for a BIA. “We haven’t been shown those results, but there was a lot of opposition in the busi-

porate tax. Even though a BIA would be completely run by the businesses and the city would only be involved by collecting the levy and returning all the funds back to the BIA, I can appreciate that with other government pressures there are businesses concerned with the impact a BIA levy could also have on their businesses,” he said. Dialogue

“I feel that the discussions regarding a BIA have led to some important dialogues within the business community and hopefully some valuable connections have been also

made between businesses to the benefit potential business partnerships moving forward,” Qadri said. “I have heard some word that businesses are interested in developing an association of Stittsville businesses that may have similar goals as a BIA and I think this is an excellent idea and I would be pleased to offer any assistance that I can through my office. “Regardless of how these partnerships proceed, I am pleased to see that the businesses are interested in working together to assist in supporting Stittsville’s vibrant business community,” he said.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Library should be porn free

he Ottawa Public Library is funded handsomely by taxpayers not only to be a publicly-accessible repository of information and other resources but also to be a representative beacon of pride for the municipality. That’s why, for example, there’s a push to have an impressive new central library branch, to be a symbol of all that is good and prideful about the city. But how can anyone take much pride in a public library that places its theoretical status as the defender of intellectual freedom ahead of ensuing a safe environment for its patrons, especially its youthful ones? It may have been that at one time the public library had to be the defender of intellectual freedom, providing unrestricted access to the information of which it was virtually the sole source. But things have changed — the public library is now only one of the, and indeed not even the major, gatekeepers of information. Its traditional role has been overtaken by Google and the internet in general. So, why does the Ottawa Public Library’s adherence to intellectual freedom take precedence over its role as a supporter and upholder of

public morals? This makes no sense. Instead of only tweaking its policy regarding the viewing of pornography and other obnoxious subjects, the Ottawa Public Library should have opted to totally block all pornography and other offensive material, putting the interests of patrons first. The viewing of pornography, whether legal or not, is not an appropriate activity in a public place. It’s that simple! But, instead, the Ottawa Public Library still places the onus for public morality and standards on the shoulders of each and every patron. A complaint has to be lodged before any action is taken to police pornography. We should expect more from a publicly-funded institution like the Ottawa Public Library. We should expect leadership that eliminates all blatantly offensive material. We should have a child-friendly library, not an X-rated library. And if this infringes a little on that sacred cow of freedom of information, so be it. There are lots of sources of information in today’s social media world. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of sources of public morality and behaviour. The Ottawa Public Library should be one, but unfortunately it has shown it is not.

Here we go again on fixing Sparks Street I

f you had a nickel for every time somebody tried to fix the Sparks Street mall you’d have more than a few dollars by now. And it begins again. Another nickel. Another consultant hired to study the street and figure out how to make it better. Mayor Jim Watson says he’s serious about this. Well, people have always been serious. They were serious when the pedestrian mall began in 1967. They were serious when they put up statues, then took them down, when they put odd structures in the middle of the street then got rid of them, when they experimented with markets, when they agonized over buskers, when they suggested maybe putting traffic back on, and then withdrew the suggestion. Most people recognize the main source of the problem: not enough people around, particularly at night. Not enough people live downtown

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

and not enough people drive downtown in the evenings. Those who do go to the ByWard Market. So it is not just that there too few people around. There is also a failure to attract the few people who are around. The mall is competing with the market, with suburban malls and their late hours, with suburban cinema complexes — not to mention Netflix and all the other diversions that are located in people’s homes. And Sparks Street is competing, as it always has, with the Rideau Centre, which scooped up a number of Sparks

Street stores and a lot of Sparks Street customers when it opened in 1983. That might have been the beginning of the end for Sparks Street, but Sparks Street didn’t do much to help itself recover. The policies of Public Works, which owns many of the buildings on the street, have been much discussed, but the merchants contributed to their own difficulties by refusing to stay open late. An underlying problem was the lack of people living downtown. Most of the buildings within walking distance of Sparks were office buildings and emptied at night. So even if Sparks Street had been jumping at night there were few people around to take advantage of it. Still, other North American cities have faced similar difficulties and pedestrian malls have thrived in other cities. Ottawa has taken a few ideas from elsewhere, but these are mostly

Something visually striking: a really great fountain, perhaps, that people could hang out around. Something permanent and interesting: a museum —hey, what about the portrait gallery? Some distinctive retail: stores that can’t be found in any shopping centre in the city. Or, more generally, something that no one has thought of yet — a bold piece of entrepreneurship that makes up for all the years of dullness and caution. In the long run, help may be on the way.

Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study

Special to the News

Three-on-three ball hockey at former flea market site Special to the News

Forget the Canadian Tire Centre. The real hockey action, at least on Saturday, Oct. 14, will be happening at the former Stittsville Flea Market site on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. That’s when the first annual Stittsville three-on-three ball hockey tournament is being held on the paved surfaces of

the former flea market site. This ball hockey tournament, which will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 14, will involve novice, atom, and peewee players. But space for teams is limited and interested teams (five players per team) should register as soon as possible at http:// bit.ly/2hwXHHk . Registration closes this Sunday, Oct. 8.

The entry fee is $125 per team. There will be prizes. All proceeds will be going to support the Stittsville Minor Atom RAMS team. There will be food trucks on site and there will be music in the air, along with much more to create a great atmosphere for this event. For more information, please email minoratomrams@ gmail.com .

Project Overview The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of Vanguard Drive from Lanthier Drive to Mer Bleue Road. Study Area The EA study limits for the extension of Vanguard Drive will extend from Lanthier Drive in the east to Mer Bleue Road in the west. The Study Area as shown in Figure 1 will cover a broader area extending westerly to west of Frank Bender Street and easterly to Tenth Line Road, to address environmental impacts, operational issues and to co-ordinate with relevant on-going studies and projects. This ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives can be developed and assessed. Rationale for Extension of Vanguard Drive The Official Plan, as amended by Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 150, identifies the westerly extension of the Vanguard Drive on Schedule EA as a future east-west collector road. The existing Vanguard Drive is an east-west collector road with an urban cross-section that runs between the arterial road Tenth Line Road and the local road Lanthier Drive. In September 2016, the City of Ottawa Planning Committee established a strategy and work program for the construction of the Vanguard Drive extension to support economic development of the South Orléans Business Park. The EA study will identify and protect a corridor for the roadway extension. Study Process The study is being conducted in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The City must consider alternative designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. As part of the study process, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review. Following the public review period, the project will be considered to have EA approval and may proceed to implementation once funding is in place. Study Timeline The EA process will include a consultation program involving many stakeholders, including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and other approval and regulatory agencies, local community associations, businesses and institutions, special advisory and interest groups, and members of the general public. The study is expected to be completed by late 2018. Get involved! You are encouraged to participate in the study by attending consultation events or by directly contacting the study team with information, comments or questions. Updated project information may be posted periodically on the study website. The study will also have the benefit of input from agency, business and public consultation groups that will meet at key points during the study. Two open houses will be scheduled throughout the study as an opportunity for interested persons to learn about the study and provide input. Notifications for the open house will be provided through local newspapers, emails to the study mailing list and postings on the website.

Medal inspired by Stittsville artist Special to the News

A medal inspired by local artist’s unique flower pots will be presented to finishers in the upcoming 9RunRun event in Stittsville. The finisher’s ribbon and attached medal, which is shaped like a map of Canada with “Canada 150” on it, were inspired by Stittsville artist Kayla Villalta, who designs and sells custom hand-painted flower pots. Kayla is an advocate for youth mental health with a personal connection with the youth program at the Royal. Indeed, all of the proceeds from her flower pots go to this youth program at the Royal. Kayla will be on hand selling the confetti design pot which inspired the ribbon design for this year’s 9RunRun at Village Square Park on race day, Saturday, Oct. 14. The 9RunRun event, now in its eighth year, it-

self has raised over $140,000 in support of mental health programs in the community including those at the Royal. The 9RunRun event this year happens on Saturday, Oct. 14. Besides participants in the 10-kilometre, half-marathon and two-kilometre family fun runs, there will also be numerous volunteers staffing various stations along the run routes. In addition, others turn out to cheer on the runners as they pass by on the routes. The Ottawa police, paramedics and fire are all involved with the event. The Chief’s Chili CookOff is always a post-race highlight as the chiefs of each emergency service compete against each other for the best chili dish. There will be a number of road closures put in place to accommodate this 9RunRun event on Oct. 14.

YOW 2038 – Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) Master Plan Update The Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) is updating the Airport Master Plan (last updated in 2008).

WHAT IS AN AIRPORT MASTER PLAN?

The Airport Master Plan establishes a strategy to address your airport’s future by creating a 20-year development framework (to 2038) that will ensure the best use of YOW’s fundamental resource – land. The YOW 2038 Master Plan will identify how:    

the needs of stakeholders and the communities we serve will be met in the future; growth in passenger, aircraft, and cargo volumes will be accommodated; the longer-term viability of the airport will be supported; and the airport’s key strategic objectives will be achieved.

WHY IS THE AIRPORT UPDATING THE MASTER PLAN?

Transport Canada requires the airport to update its Master Plan every 10 years. The Master Plan assists airport management in making informed decisions about the timing and estimate d costs of future improvements, action plans, and preferred development solutions.

PUBLIC MEETINGS - ROUND 2 (OTTAWA AND GATINEAU)

The first round of public meetings was heldin July 2017 to introduce the Master Plan update.

The Land Use Plan was last updated in 2008. Proposed key changes include:   

The designation of a section of land adjacent to the existing terminal building andparkade structure will be changed to “Commercial Aviation/Non-Aviation Employment Area” to reflect the future development of a hotel; The designation of some leased lands located north of Taxiway A will be changed to “Government Employment Area” to reflect current tenants; and The existing “Greenbelt Linkage” designation will be expandedacross th e southern lands of the airport.

The public meetings will be held in both Ottawa andGatineau. Airport staff and its consultants will be available to answer questions. Please visit the project website (www.yow.ca/2038) to review digital mapping of the Preferred Land Use Plan and provide comments.

You can help create a Canada 150 mosaic mural. It’s happening at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Already one drop-in art day has taken place, happening on Thursday, Sept. 28. But there are still two more days on which you can get involved with this community art program. Just drop in to the Richmond library branch either this Thursday, Oct. 5 or next Thursday, Oct. 12 between 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. or between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. either day. After dropping in, you will be able to decorate your own six-by-six-inch canvas tile. You will be able to use any form of media — collage, fibre art, paint, knitting, or quilting. Your individually-decorated canvas tile will then be used to create a mosaic of such tiles which will be displayed at the Richmond branch. Paint supplies and the canvas tiles are being provided by the library. If there are other craft supplies that you require to create your individual decorated canvas tile, then you are asked to take them along with you when you drop in to the library. This community art program is only one of several special programs at the Richmond library branch. This coming weekend will be “Maker Weekend” at the branch. On both Friday, Oct. 6, which is a PD Day, and Saturday, Oct. 7, there will be a button maker at the branch for children to use to create their own buttons. In addition, there will be other self-directed maker activities available for participating children.

Family story time takes place on Tuesdays at 10:15 a.m. while toddler time happens on Wednesdays, also at 10:15 a.m. For more information about these programs or about the Richmond library branch in general, please visit www.biblioottawalibrary.ca.

Music in Nashville by john curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a country music song that tells about personal troubles but also the support and value of friends. Called Show Me The Sun, the song was written and recorded right in Nashville itself last August by 13 year old Emma Markwick, a Grade 8 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. The opportunity for Emma to write and record a song in Nashville was arranged through Sarah McClurg Music of Ottawa, the music school which Emma has attended for the past three years. In Nashville, Emma spent a day in a studio with a songwriter, jotting down song ideas for a song and determining the proper key for the song, matching her voice. A second day in the studio saw Emma do the vocals for the song, going over them a number of times to get them just right. It was the culmination of a dream! And the song is so impressive that its Nashville producer indicated that it was the type of song that country music star Keith Urban would be inclined to sing. The demo CD is now being prepared for play on iTunes and a music video is in the works. Singing country music is quite a turnaround for Emma who has been singing since she was five years old. She admits that she did not like country music when she began singing but things change, as she loves

John Curry/Metroland

Emma Markwick of Sacred Heart Catholic High School. to sing and listen to country music now. Indeed, she has received comments that when she sings, she sounds like a country singer. She admits that she has what she terms a “unique voice,” which she says either appeals to people or it doesn’t. She says that her “unique voice” allows her to sing country music very well, sometimes singing with something of a twang which she says “comes naturally.” While in Nashville, Emma got to attend a show at the

Grand Ole Opry. One of the performers in the show was a 13 year old girl which gave her inspiration as it was evidence that her own dream of being such a performer and singer was possible. Emma likes to write her own songs, saying that there is something about writing a song that makes her happy. Emma started singing when she was five years old, also taking piano lessons as well as singing lessons. However, she is now focused solely on singing at Sarah McClurg Music, although she admits that she would like to start playing the guitar, feeling that it would help in writing songs. Besides her singing and songwriting, Emma has also played sports since she was young, particularly hockey and soccer. She has been a goalie in girls’ hockey with the Kanata Rangers, following in the footsteps of her sister and her father, both of whom were goalies as well. And while she continues to enjoy hockey, her main athletic focus now is on soccer. She plays competitively for Ottawa South as a striker, saying that she is good at controlling the ball and describing herself as fast and aggressive on the field. She admits that playing soccer “brings me to a happy place.” In addition to her singing and her sports, Emma also enjoys hanging out with her friends. In school, her favourite subjects are gym and math.

Concert with ‘Gracenote’ and fiddler Peter Dawson Special to the News

It’s a fall concert featuring musical favourites for the whole family. And the musical entertainment will be provided by the musical group Gracenote which is known for its harmonies. Bringing a special touch to the concert will be guest artist Peter Dawson, one of Canada’s best fiddlers and a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. This will all be happening on Saturday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. at the Father Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at St. Philip’s Catholic Church in Richmond, with the proceeds going toward paying off the new entrance canopy at the front of the church. Tickets are available at $15 per person at gracenotes2017@gmail.com. There’s only 200 tickets available, so prompt action is recommended to ensure a ticket. Information can be obtained by calling 613-762-5060. And if you cannot attend the concert on Oct. 21 but would like to support this fundraising initiative, you can purchase a ticket and donate it back as the organizers will ensure that it is given to someone in the village who may not always have the opportunity to attend such a concert. There will be refreshments provided at an intermission in the concert. Last year a concert featuring the

Ennis Sisters was held at St. Philip’s, also to help pay for the new entrance canopy. This Oct. 21 concert plus one more future fundraiser should accomplish paying off the total cost of the new entrance canopy. The canopy, which has been in place for a year now, was designed by architect Ralph Vandenberg who also designed the Father Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at the church. The canopy was designed to complement the historic St. Philip’s church building. The canopy is maintenance free and includes a handicapped access ramp. The project has been generously support by St. Philip parishioners as well as by the St. Philip Knights of Columbus, the St. Philip Catholic Women’s League and the St. Philip euchre club. Parishioner Tom Demarco generously served as the general contractor. Gracenote has performed previously at St. Philip Church, notably presenting a Vespers presentation. The group is well known for its spiritual harmonies, but it can also sing popular tunes as this concert will show. Gracenote was founded in 2006, with Andy Duffy who in the late 1980s had founded Springsong, a 12-voice contemporary Christian music group that performed in the area for 12 years. Andy is the director, arranger, composer and piano/keyboard/bass

accompanist for Gracenote. Under his direction, Gracenote always presents a diverse program enjoyable by everyone in the audience. Indeed, his first musical love is jazz. Vocal members of Gracenote are Diane Coulterman, Allison Fagan and Lynn Lane. Coulterman sang for 10 years with a Sudbury all-female community choir called the Marian Singers. She has performed with Galilee Proclaims, the Savoy Society, the Orpheus Musical Theatre, the Great Canadian Theatre Company and Upper Canada Playhouse. She sang with Springsong and now is thrilled to be back working with Andy Duffy with Gracenote. Fagan was a member of Springsong for several years. She and Duffy formed a duo in the 1990s called 2A Crossing, performing jazz standards. She and Duffy eventually formed a group which became Gracenote, a group focused on the harmony in songs. Fagan also is a member of the Hallelujah Gospel Chorus and during the Christmas season she is a strolling soprano with the Renaissance Carolers. Lane has been singing or playing music for her whole life including many different musical styles. But she really loves gospel, jazz and contemporary Christian music as presented by Gracenote.

She has sung with Ottawa’s Orpheus vocal chorus and now with Gracenote since its founding. The concert’s guest artist, fiddler Peter Dawson, began to play the fiddle at the age of five. As a teenager, he was on the road with Canadian singers Lucille Starr and Bob Regan. He guested on Country Hoedown and other TV shows in the 1950s and joined The Skeeter Bonn Show on radio in Wheeling, W.Va. He has made guest appearances at the Grand Ole

Opry. Returning to Canada in 1960, Dawson went on to win the North American Fiddle Championship in Ottawa in 1978. He has released his 12th recording entitled Owl in The Henhouse. He is the former owner and operator of The Fiddle Factory in Ottawa where he built and restored violins and other stringed instruments. He was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999.

The Richmond Food Bank has more on its shelves thanks to the efforts of a brother and sister. Leah Theobald, 7, and her younger brother Brayden Theobald, 4, not only raised money for the Richmond Food Bank but they used the money to purchase non-perishable food items for the food bank. And then, to top things off, they delivered the food items to the food bank last Saturday, Sept. 30. Now that’s a triple performance for sure! It all began when Leah, who is in Grade 2 at St. Anne Catholic School in Kanata, and Brayden, who is in junior kindergarten, operated a lemonade stand at a campsite at Lower Beverley Lake at Delta this past summer. They raised $100 but instead of just donating these funds to the Richmond Food Bank, they went to a grocery store with their grandmother, Brenda McConnell of Richmond, and purchased $100 worth of food items which were on a list of items that the food bank needed. And then, to cap off this food bank experience, Leah and Brayden, along with their parents and grandmother, delivered the purchased food items to the food bank. While at the food bank which is located at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond, they were given a tour of the food bank’s shelves so that they could see just where their food items were ending up, all ready for pickup by food bank patrons. The Richmond Food Bank is familiar to the John Curry/Metroland Leah and Brayden’s family as their mother was Seven year old Leah Theobald (left) and her four year old brother Brayden (right) are with the born and raised in Richmond and their dad R. food items which they purchased with the $100 that they raised by having a lemonade stand Theobald teaches at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond. this summer. They have donated the food items to the Richmond Food Bank.

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

October 5, 2017

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville BIA Update I would like to provide an update to residents regarding the Stittsville Business Improvement Area (BIA). When a group of local businesses first approached me with the thought of implementing a BIA in Stittsville, I provided support through my office to them as I saw there are many great merits to having a BIA. For example, currently there are 19 successful BIAs across the City of Ottawa which have created some signature Ottawa events including Poutinefest, Ribfest and Glow Fair. BIAs also can provide marketing focus as well and have been successful in areas similar to Stittsville such as Barrhaven. That being said, not all businesses may feel that a formal BIA is the right fit for them at that the BIA framework may not work for all areas. I know businesses are also facing changes with the minimum wage increase and corporate tax. Even though a BIA would be completely run by the businesses and the City would only be involved by collecting the levy and returning all the funds back to the BIA, I can appreciate that with other government pressures there are businesses concerned with the impact a BIA levy could also have on their businesses. Given the concerns some businesses have expressed; it has been decided for the time being that the Steering Committee will no longer pursue establishing a formal BIA at this time. I feel that the discussions regarding a BIA have led to some important dialogues within the business community and hopefully some valuable connections have been also made between businesses to the benefit potential business partnerships moving forward. I have heard some word that businesses are interested in developing an association of Stittsville businesses that may have similar goals as a BIA and I think this is an excellent idea and I would be pleased to offer any assistance that I can through my office. Regardless of how these partnerships proceed, I am pleased to see that the businesses are interested in working together to assist in supporting Stittsville’s vibrant business community. I would like to thank the steering committee members, comprised of Stittsville businesses, who volunteered their time to engage these discussions in the business community. Recap on Fairwinds Winter Parking Meeting On September 28th a public meeting was held to discuss a pilot for winter parking restrictions in the community. I have been working on this project with the Fairwinds’ Community Association and the City of Ottawa’s Traffic Department to review the parking and operational issues in the Fairwinds community from previous winter seasons.

YOUR ONLY LOCALLY OWNED INSURANCE BROKER

Residents and City Winter Operations Staff have expressed concern regarding the narrowing of the travelled portion of some streets during the winter months, a pilot project is being proposed in the winter to only allow parking on only one side of the street from Dec 1st to March 30th. During all other times parking would still be permitted on both sides of the streets (unless already signed otherwise). At the meeting, staff presented the proposal that was also circulated to the community. In response to questions at the meeting and that I have received via email, we have prepared a Frequently Asked Questions Document which can be found on my website at Shadqadri.com under the header “Current and Ongoing Items”.

Street and Rochelle Drive in Richmond has been held, as the site has been cleared and excavated, with foundation work underway. It is expected that the new medical facility will be in opera-

Give A Jewel, Feed A School

Help us raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. REALIZING THE NEED Eva von Jagow, a student from Stittsville, was researching Nunavut for a school project when she came across the harsh reality of nutrition in our Far North.

This is an artist’s concept of the new Richmond Medical Clinic and associated IDA Pharmacy which is now under construction at the corner of Perth Street and Rochelle Drive in Richmond.

Medical clinic will include pharmacy Continued from page 18

The medical centre itself will have 16 exam rooms as well as a conference room. Currently, the physicians who will be occupying this new Richmond Medical Clinic are working out of the former Rabb clinic on Perth Street in Richmond, a facility built for two doctors. Over 6,000 patients are now under the care of these doctors including all of the former patients of Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb. Kim Pijselman of Cedarstone Homes of Richmond, who is handling construction of the new medical clinic, had hoped to start construc-

tion last May but the project suffered from bureaucratic delays. Future plans call for two additional medical professional buildings encompassing 10,000 square feet to be constructed to the east of this new Richmond Medical Clinic. The IDA Pharmacy associated with this new Richmond Medical Clinic will be a prototype store, something of a “pharmacy of the future”. This will be only the second such prototype IDA store of this type and the first one for this size of IDA store. There are about 1,200 IDA/Guardian drug stores altogether.

CRAVING CHANGE Eva decided she wanted to help, and she wanted to start by giving children a healthy start to the day, beginning with breakfast. She contacted the Breakfast Club of Canada and they agreed to direct any money she raised to specific Nunavut schools in need of a funded breakfast program.

The idea for the All That Glam fundraiser itself came to her while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. Like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. That’s when Eva thought, “Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?” This realization sparked the idea to create a gently-used jewelry and handbag sale to raise money for Nunavut schools. NOURISHING CORAL HARBOUR SCHOOL’S BREAKFAST PROGRAM The All That Glam Sale has become an annual event. For the 5th year running, the fundraiser will collect donated jewelry and handbags from the community and resell the pieces at a one-day sale to raise money needed to provide nourishment to children in Nunavut. To date, All That Glam has donated over $100,000 to Sakku School in Coral Harbour (with corporate fund matching) which wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of the local community and our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you.

She was shocked to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket! Eva quickly learned even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three-litre container of orange juice is typically $9. In the winter months especially, fresh fruit and vegetables are exorbitantly priced and of poor quality. All this means that many Nunavut children start off their school day with poor nutrition. In Canada, a country that is hailed as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, no child should be going to school hungry or malnourished.

Verla Pacey celebrates her 100th birthday special to the news

Submitted

Verla Pacey, a resident at the Stittsville Retirement Community by Revera on Stittsville Main Street, celebrates her 100th birthday, complete with cake and celebratory balloons.

It was the first feature-length movie filmed entirely in Canada and Verla Pacey was there to see American actor James Cagney star in the production of Captain of the Clouds, a film which included shooting in northern Ontario. That was in 1942 and while Cagney died in 1986, Pacey is still going strong, now a resident at the Stittsville Seniors Community (Villa) by Revera on Stittsville Main Street. She has resided there for two years, moving to Stittsville from her hometown of Temagami near New Liskeard in northern Ontario. In Stittsville, she is close to her son, longtime Stittsville resident Grant Pacey, and his wife Sheryl. Cagney was in the Temagami area in 1942 to film Captains of the Clouds, a Warner Bros. war film featuring a story about Canadian bush pilots and Canadian pilot training. That’s where Verla saw him. Verla herself celebrated her 100th birthday on Monday, Sept. 18, being honoured in a brief celebration at the Stittsville Seniors Community, with the singing of Happy Birthday and a cake on which she blew out the candles. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was on hand to present her with a certificate of congratulations on her milestone achievement.

She was joined at the celebration not only by staff and fellow residents from the Stittsville Seniors Community but also by Grant and Sheryl Pacey and her youngest grandchild, Evan Pacey. Verla has three grandsons altogether, along with two great-grandchildren. This Sept. 18 celebration had been preceded by a family celebration which had been held on the previous Saturday, Sept. 16.

Verla attended school in New Liskeard although the family lived in Temagami. Her grandfather had opened a hotel and garage in Temagami in the 1920s which her father and his siblings later took over. She herself enjoyed hunting partridge and until moving to Stittsville two years ago at the age of 98, she lived overlooking Lake Temagami.

He told how he grew up in Toronto, first in Weston where Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Johnny Bower lived one street over and then in Etobicoke. His mother became one of the first lay persons to be named a “Canon” in the church. He attended the University of Toronto and then went to work for IBM as a test engineer.

This is a week later than normal due to the Grey Cup festivities happening in Ottawa the weekend before, making it difficult to get off-duty police officers for the parade. Some floats have already been registered for the parade. A major focus of the Stittsville Village Association, which organizes the annual parade, is attracting enough volunteers to staff the barricades at all of the side streets and entrances leading onto Stittsville Main Street. At least 100 volunteers are needed for this task. It’s an attractive volunteer opportunity because a family can do it and the volunteers get a front row view of the parade as it passes by. *The Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (Villa) on Stittsville Main Street held an open house on both Saturday, Sept. 23, and Sunday, Sept. 24, from 1 to 4 p.m. each day. “Taste the Tradition” was the theme of the open house. A bake sale was held in conjunction with the open house, with the proceeds going to the Alzheimer’s Society. *The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is considering incorporation.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Hurting our Small Businesses It goes without saying, but I will say it any ways, small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy, always have been and always will be. But our Provincial and Federal governments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to understand this. Recently I met with a constituent who I will call D, she runs a not for profit day care in northern Kanata, and she told me how the new minimum wage and tax increases will hurt her business. With the hiked minimum wage at $15/hr, her Early Childhood Educators who earn around $18/hr, will rightfully expect an increase in salary because without one their work becomes devalued. But D canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford this increase, the new salary equivalent would be almost $24/hr to keep the same rate of pay. Now D fears her employees will be looking at other jobs that now have wages that are artificially more competitive with less stressful work. On top of the higher minimum wage D finds herself caught up in the new tax hikes on small businesses that the federal government is proposing. These new taxes will make it harder for D to save for her retirement, and harder to re-invest in her business to create a better environment for the children she cares for. These reforms are going to hurt our businesses, they are going to hurt our farmers, and they are going to hurt our doctors. We must stop them.

Rotary Club members hear about work of Help Lesotho Special to the News

Lesotho, a landlocked country in southern Africa completely surrounded by South Africa, is a long way from Stittsville but it was front and centre at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville as guest speaker Marlene Caicco spoke about the work of the non-governmental organization Help Lesotho. Help Lesotho, which was founded by Dr. Peg Herbert in 2004 when she was teaching at the University of Ottawa, is working to prevent HIV/AIDS in Lesotho which has the second-highest rate of the disease in the world, affecting 25 per cent of the population. There are 360,000 orphans in a population of 2 million. Help Lesotho promotes education, gender equity and youth leadership development. Lesotho also has the highest rate of tuberculosis in the world and has an individual life expectancy of 47 years. Human trafficking and gender-based violence are both prevalent in the country. Human challenges in the country include clinical depression, drug and alcohol dependence and sexual abuse. About 40 per cent of the population of Lesotho lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 per day. Help Lesotho wants to provide children and youth with the knowledge and support needed for them to lead a movement that will advocate for social justice and particularly the rights of girls and women in pursuit of gender equity, will promote the prevention of HIV transmission and will challenge everyone to make healthy decisions and be socially responsible. Eighty-six per cent of girls and women in Lesotho have experienced gender-based violence. AIDS has created so many orphans while decimating the parental class, leaving the children without role models or positive influences in their lives. Help Lesotho is trying to build resilience in people in Lesotho to allow them to move forward in life. Help Lesotho is trying to foster self-management and decision-making and is trying to develop leaders who will take action to benefit others. Help Lesotho operates two community leadership centres as well as village-based programs in Lesotho,

delivering education and life skills training not only to children and youth but also to grandmothers, teachers and other community members. The Pitseng Centre is one of these community leadership centres which is visited by about 3,000 people each year. At the centre, they learn life skills and also have an opportunity to talk about their struggles and challenges. Help Lesotho is trying to create positive social change in Lesotho by reducing HIV transmission so that people will live more positively; by increasing gender equity and respect for women’s rights; and by creating

role models who will engender positive attitudes and behaviours. About 19,000 people are impacted by Help Lesotho every year. Since 2004, more than 150,000 people have been helped through the programs offered by Help Lesotho. Help Lesotho programs have a 92 per cent return rate for participants which means that the participants are continuing to build their life skills through the programs. One of Help Lesotho’s fundraising initiatives involves the sale of fresh-water cultured pearl bracelets called “Pearls for Girls.” They sell for $20 per bracelet. They can be pur-

chased online (www.helplesotho.org) Lesotho, about the size of Belgium, is a mountainous country. It enjoys four distinct seasons, with cold winters despite no heated homes. Some remote mountainous rural areas can only be reached via horseback. Previously known as Basutoland, Lesotho declared independence from the United Kingdom in 1966. Officially known as the Kingdom of Lesotho, it is a member of the United Nations and of the Commonwealth of Nations. The name Lesotho translates roughly into “the land of the people who speak Sesotho.”

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

My husband and I have been married for the last 25 years but don’t have any children. Do we need a Will, or would everything just go to the surviving spouse anyway? Yes, you do need a Will. Whenever you don’t have any children, under the statutory distribution scheme for individuals that die without a Will, your spouse would receive your entire estate. However, you should still have a will for at least two reasons: 1. Appointing an executor of your estate; and 2. Making instructions for the distribution of your estate in the event that you’re predeceased by your spouse.

1. Appointment of an executor of your estate. The executor named in a Will has the legal authority to take possession of all your assets, do your final income tax returns, and deal with banks and government institutions. If you don’t have a Will, a court would have to appoint an executor of your estate to deal with any assets that were not jointly owned, as well as any registered investments that did not have a named beneficiary. The process of appointing an executor usually takes a few months, so in addition to incurring unnecessary costs, there will be an extended delay during which your spouse will not have access to the assets in your estate. In my experience, some financial institutions will waive a probate requirement if your spouse is the named executor and the only beneficiary of your estate, which could provide your spouse with ready access to some assets shortly after your death.

Upon immigrating to Canada in 2001 he spent six years working with people with developmental disabilities. He obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa’s Common Law program in 2011 and subsequently articled in Burlington, Ontario.

2. Distribution of your estate if you survive your spouse. By having a Will in place, you will make sure that your estate is distributed the way you want it to be in the event that your spouse passes away shortly before you, or in the event that you are unable to make a Will after your spouse’s death. Under the statutory distribution scheme, if you don’t have a spouse nor children, your estate would go to your parents. Alternatively, if your parents are deceased, your estate would go to your siblings. This may not be your wish. For example you might want to leave part of your estate to your spouse’s family, or you may wish to skip your parents and siblings and distribute the estate among your and your spouse’s nieces and nephews, or make gifts to a charity or charities. No matter which option you choose, having a Will can provide the peace of mind of knowing that your estate will be distributed according to your wishes.

Gently used jewelry, handbags wanted for ‘All That Glam’ by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

“Give a Jewel, Feed a School.” This phrase outlines the thinking behind the annual All That Glam fundraiser that raises funds for the provision of hot breakfasts for students in Nunavut. Donations of gently used jewelry and handbags are sought and then resold at the event, raising funds that in turn are used to provide school breakfasts in the North. Donating jewelry and handbags that women no longer use or need and literally turning them into food for children — that’s what All That Glam does, notes Eva von Jagow of Stittsville, founder of the event. It was five years ago, as a student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, when Eva became aware of the problem of food insecurity and malnutrition in the North and decided to do something about it. She and her mother, Karen von Jagow, and other volunteers organized the annual “All That Glam” event which has now raised nearly $100,000 for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. And Eva’s commitment to the North in raising awareness of the food insecurity issue and finding not only short term but also long-term solutions gave rise to the founding in 2015 of DueNORTH, a not-for-profit organization that not only tries to spread the word about the issue but encourages third-party fundraising as well.

Karen von Jagow (left) holds a framed pice of traditional Inuit art done by a student in Nunavut which is an example of the student artwork that will be in a silent auction at the upcoming “All That Glam” fundraiser that is happening on Saturday, Nov. 25 this year and for which “All That Glam” founder Eva von Jagow (right) is holding a poster publicizing the event which raises funds for hot breakfasts for students in Nunavut. craft Community Centre in Kanata. It will include not only the sale of thousands of donated pieces of gently used jewelry and handbags but will also include a silent auction. Among the items in the silent auction will be some traditional Inuit art which has been provided by students from Nunavut. This not only provides art that shows the unique and beautiful culture of

the Inuit but is a way that the students of the North who are benefitting from the implementation of school breakfast programs can actually be involved with the fundraiser from which they are benefitting. Walker Works of Stittsville frames this artwork at no charge for the All That Glam fundraiser, adding to its appeal in the silent auction.

Right now, in the time leading up to the All That Glam fundraiser, donations of gently used jewelry and handbags are being sought. From now to Nov. 10, donations can be dropped off at Quitters Coffee on Stittsville Main Street, at Moore Chiropractic on Hazeldean Road, at city of Ottawa Stittsville ward Coun. Shad Qadri’s ward office at the Goulbourn Recre-

ation Complex or at any Dymon Storage location in the city. Dymon Storage has become a major supporter of the All That Glam fundraiser, providing storage space at the Kanata facility for housing the gently used jewelry and handbags which are donated for the fundraiser. Initially these donated items were collected and stored for the All That Glam sale day at the von Jagow home in Stittsville but these donated items soon filled every space in the house and then some. That’s why the Dymon Storage offer of storage space has been such a welcome contribution to this annual fundraising initiative. Eva von Jagow acknowledges that she and her mother Karen are not experts on the North by any means but rather are just two people who discovered the issue and now want to try to make it a priority for others. Eva points out that this is an issue of food insecurity and malnutrition that exists right in Canada, a problem that All That Glam is trying to help solve through the provision of school breakfast programs in Nunavut. And the solution simply involves people donating their gently used jewelry and handbags and then hopefully visiting the sale on Nov. 25 to make a purchase or two. Karen von Jagow notes that it is uplifting to see how many people want to help and how generous they have been over the years. But more donors and supporters are always needed to help continue the flow of gently used jewelry and handbags so essential for the All That Glam fundraiser. See ‘ALL THAT GLAM,’ page 37

HEART

HELP BROADEN LEAH’S HORIZONS Hearing is critical to speech and language development, communication, and learning. At just six months of age Leah was fitted with a bone vibrating hearing aid that she will wear using a soft band around her head until she is old enough to undergo surgery to permanently attach the device. For some children, conventional hearing aids are not as effective due to malformations of the outer or middle ear. Bone conduction hearing aids send vibrations through the bones of the skull directly to the inner ear. In addition to improved listening and language skills, it results in a natural sound with less distortion and feedback. These devices enable a child with significant hearing loss to have access to sound which is critical for brain development. Early intervention with appropriate amplification helps children to learn in school, participate in activities and make friends.

Logo looking good in Munster

Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

The second annual Harvest Fest in Munster was held at Munster Park on Saturday, Sept. 30 with games, a petting zoo, face painting, bake sale and more. During the event the Munster Community Association unveiled its new logo which president Jessica Breckenridge (left) and social director Laura Doane (right) show off the sign to Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson (centre). The sign has a lot of meaning in defining the area: the touch of the Irish is a nod to the fact the Hamlet was named after an Irish kingdom, the clover has four quadrants just like Munster does, as well as people say they are pretty lucky to live there, and the green represents the community’s country/nature.

This is a good way of involving many in the issue while collecting a sizeable number of donated items for the fundraiser.

school breakfast program. Student attendance and grades have both improved as a result of the implementation of the school breakfast program. A breakfast program at another school in Nunavut will soon be supported as well by funds raised by the All That Glam fundraiser. The goal for All That Glam is for each school in Nunavut to have a breakfast program for the students. Before the efforts of All That Glam, there was no funding of such breakfast programs in the North.

Baha’is celebrating anniversary of birth of Baha’u’llah Special to the News

Over the last seven years, I have received questions about backyard campfires in Munster. It is something that has always puzzled me when looking at the Open Air Fire By-Law. Every single village in the City of Ottawa’s rural area permits backyard fires except for Munster. I realize that has not always stopped residents from enjoying a backyard fire in Munster but, sadly, they were restricted and the City would not issue burn permits to Munster residents.

Baha’is in Stittsville are preparing to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha’i faith. To celebrate this occasion, the Baha’is of Stittsville are holding a celebration on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Hall A at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. The program will be opened by City of Ottawa Stittsville Ward Coun. Shad Qadri and will include artistic performances, a slide presentation,

creative activities and refreshments. This event will be a celebration of the transformative impact of Baha’u’llah teachings on the lives of families, neighbourhoods and communities. Baha’u’llah’s vision of the oneness of humanity is an antidote to the challenges facing society today such as prejudice and inequality. “Now more than ever we need positive models of social change that bring people together rather than divide them,” says Rhona Scoffield, a Stittsville resident since 1992. “This is what we

A few months ago, Ottawa Fire Services informed me that they were updating their maps and this begun a conversation about Munster once again. Through the efforts of Ottawa Fire Services and looking at villages with similar lot fabric, it was determined that Munster’s designation could be changed from “Restricted” to “Outdoor Fireplaces and Campfires Permitted.” The information online and the maps appended to the Open Air Fire By-Law have now been updated to include this new designation for Munster. As a result, while the good people of Richmond and Ashton are enjoying their backyard fireplace, Munster residents can now do so as well (legally). Open Air Fire Permits are available at the Stittsville Fire Station on Stittsville Main Street between 8:30am and 4:00pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If you are feeling adventurous, you may also pick one up at the North Gower Client Service Centre on Thursdays between those same hours.

Proposed Site Alteration By-Law

The public consultation component of the Draft Site Alteration By-Law has now closed. I would like to thank residents of Rideau-Goulbourn for submitting their comments to the City over the last month. Of all the submissions that the City received, the overwhelming majority came in from our ward, which speaks volumes about our engagement on city-wide issues. In the coming weeks and months, staff will be working on the final report and doing their best to address the comments received. I have met with staff and reviewed these comments as well. My office remains committed to ensuring this proposed by-law meets the original intent and does not create undue burden on farmers and landowners alike. While this report was originally scheduled to come to Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee this fall, I now understand that the target date for the report is in the first quarter of 2018. The report will also go to Planning Committee at that time. If you have any questions on this proposed by-law, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491. For information on Rideau-Goulbourn issues, please visit RideauGoulbourn.ca.

will be celebrating.” Everyone in the community is welcome to attend this celebration and get to know their neighbours and to strengthen the bonds of friendship in Stittsville. Baha’u’llah (1817-1892) declared his motion in 1863. His teachings have spread around the world, forming a basis for social transformation and community building which is unique in its global reach and the diversity of participants. Baha’u’llah, whose name means “The Glory of God,” is considered by millions around the world as the divine educator for this age. In his writings, Baha’u’llah outlines a framework for the development of a global civilization which takes into account both the spiritual and material dimensions of human life. His teachings, centred around the recognition of the oneness of humanity, offer a vision of a future world united in justice, peace and prosperity. The Baha’i faith, which originated in Iran in the mid-19th century, has become a faith present in every country in the world in less than 200 years. The international Baha’i community numbers more than five million people. Baha’is consider work done in the spirit of service to humanity as the highest form of worship. Prayer, offered both in private and in the company of others, is regarded as essential spiritual nourishment, providing inspiration for positive personal and social change. Individuals pray daily and observe an annual period of fasting. The Baha’i faith has no clergy or sacraments and has very simple practices for life transitions such as marriage and funerals. For more information about the upcoming 200th anniversary celebration of the birth of Baha’u’llah or about the Baha’i faith, please call Shiva Yan at 613-700-7882 or visit bahai.org.

St. Francis of Assisi Day, who was known for his love of animals in the 1100s, is Oct. 4, just a few days prior Rev. Doug Kendall (right) from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville held a Service of Blessing for Pets and Animals on Oct. 1 for close to 50 people on the front lawn of the church. Martha Roberts and her husband Cliff Lee-Sing hold up their African Leopard Tortoise named Zamboni to be blessed. The brief service included a call to worship, the singing of All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir, a moment of remembrance, the reading of Genesis 1:24-26 and the blessing of each animal.

Mother’s special kitchen treats

other put the last lid on the jar of plum preserves. They had stewed on the back of the Findlay Oval all morning. Then with a slotted spoon, she put them in the big brown bowl, and when they were cool enough to handle, with her well-scrubbed hands she squished out the stones, which were put on the breadboard. The pitted plums were then bottled. The stones were my treat. How I loved to smash them with the little kitchen hammer, and then eat the innards. To me, the pulp was as good as anything I could buy from the candy counter at the Five and Dime store in Renfrew. When Mother and I were alone in the kitchen, just the two of us, there were other treats to come my way too.

“How would you like some oven toast?” she might ask. Would I? My mouth would water just thinking of it. Thin slices of bread would be slathered with butter on both sides, and put on a wire rack over a tin pie plate, and put in the hot oven. I could hardly stand the wait, as it toasted on the topside, and then the slices were flipped over to turn a golden brown on the other. It was crisp when taken out of the oven, and piping hot, and I devoured yet another treat of that magic time alone with Mother in the kitchen. I loved when Mother was making relish this time of year. The smell of the spices, as the corn, or beets, cucumbers, or tomatoes stewing on the stove filled the kitchen.

Mother would ladle out a heaping spoonful into a fruit nappy, and I would butter a slice of homemade bread, and dip it into the relish, and devour it in minutes. I knew if I asked for a second helping, Mother would say, “Better not... you don’t want to spoil your dinner.” Even if dinner was hours away, only one fruit nappy was all I was given, but how I loved that special treat. I think I was the only one in our entire family who liked crispy fried pork rinds. Before a slab of smoked bacon was fried, it was sliced thin, and the rind removed. Mother knew I loved this rind, and so while the bacon was frying in the big black pan, room was made for the slivers of rind for me, and when they were as crisp as little pieces of raw spaghetti, another special treat came my way. Our ample vegetable

No one else in my family, it seemed to me, liked cucumber sandwiches. But I could make a meal of them, if I was allowed, but again Mother would say, “Don’t spoil your supper.” Any one of these special treats would have been enough to amply satisfy me to replace my dinner or supper if allowed. But Mother saw to it that what I got was ‘just a taste’. I would be expected to eat my dinner or supper as well. My sister Audrey, who was always concerned about gaining weight, could never understand why I was as thin as rail with all I ate between meals, and would say she bread, well but- could gain a pound drinking water! It wouldn’t have mattered to me if I grew as big as a tered of course, was a special house, nothing would stop me from those kitchen treats I loved with a passion. treat.

MARY COOK

Memories garden served us well. I knew we would never go hungry over the coming winters when those shelves in the dug-out under the house we called a cellar, were full of canned vegetables, preserves, jams and jellies. Mother would spend days this time of year, “putting down.” And if I happened to be in the kitchen when she was making cucumber relish, I never failed to have a cucumber

sandwich. To me, thick slices between two pieces of freshly baked

Tony Van Doormaal dies Special to the News

Lina and Tony Van Doormaal came to Canada from their native Holland in 1953 as newlyweds with little money. But they knew how to work hard and that they did, going on to operate a successful farm on the Fernbank Road east of Stittsville while raising a family of five. Tony Van Doormaal died on Monday, Sept. 4 at the age of 94. When he and his wife Lina arrived in Canada in 1953, Tony worked as a hired man on a Manotick area farm for three years until acquiring the former Johnny and Mary Davidson farm on Fernbank Road in 1956. Both Tony and Lina worked hard to make the farm a success. Tony and Lina worked hard developing the farm, with Lina also working off the farm cleaning houses, mostly in the Glen Cairn area when that subdivision developed. She did this for over 30 years. Back in the early years on their Fernbank Road farm, they remember how their

neighbour Clarence Wilson used to watch out his window all day long just to see perhaps five vehicles go by on the road. How times changed during their years living along the Fernbank Road! Now five vehicles probably pass by on the road each minute. Tony and Lina could always be seen together at community and social events, even in the past three years when Tony had difficulty walking and getting around. The funeral service was held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at Fallowfield where all five of their children had been baptized and had been married. All five children gave stirring eulogies about their father in the parish hall following the funeral mass. Antonius “Tony” Van Doormaal died surrounded by his family on Labour Day, Monday, Sept. 4. He was 94 years old. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Lina (nee Roozen). He is survived as well by his children Jeff (Trudy), Peter (Kim), Brian (Karen),

Scott Moffatt, Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. Judy McFaul of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies, whose home fair is the Russell Fair, was also in attendance. Retired Stittsville News journalist John Brummell was the guest speaker at the official opening which took place on the ice slab at the Richmond arena. *The six-horse hitch in the heavy horse show at this year’s Richmond Fair was a $4-million event if you agree with the assessment of the

class by show announcer Murray Graham of Embrun. He pegs the value of each six-horse hitch at half-a-million dollars when you consider the value of the six horses, the cost of the harness and wagon and transportation costs. With eight six-horse hitch entries in the class at this year’s fair, that adds up to $4 million parading around the heavy horse ring. This year’s sixhorse hitch class was divided into two sections of four entries each but for the final judging, all eight rigs were in the ring at one time – quite a sight! Todd Grier of Lansdowne emerged as the winner in the class. The entry of Stewart and Brian Crabb of Stittsville was third. Besides Lansdowne and Stittsville, entries came from other places like Spencerville, Brockville, Lanark and Carp. Richmond Fair general manager Dale Greene, who has held that position for 21 years now, presented the championship trophy for this six-horse hitch class. *Fundraising for Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 2018 will reach over the $100,000 mark when the City of Ottawa comes through with its funding for the project, some of which will be covering rental fees for facilities. The gala celebration weekend will take place on June 15, 16 and 17, 2018. Corporate sponsors like TD Canada Trust, Co-operators Insurance and Talos Homes are supporting the celebration as is the federal government. One upcoming big event is a New Year’s Eve gala which is being planned for Dec. 31. It will include a threecourse meal, with only 200 tickets available at $100 per person. It will be held at the Richmond arena hall. Details are available at the Richmond200.ca website.

She has been involved with a number of events at the fair including the heavy horse show, the demolition derby, the quilt show, admissions, and cleanup after the fair. Helene was recruited to help out at the annual fair by general manager Dale Greene and his late wife Marlene Greene. In receiving the O.A.A.S. agricultural service award at this year’s fair, Helene noted that Dale and Marlene had promised to keep her busy in her volunteer work with the fair, and this has proven to be the case. She said that she receives so many jobs to do over fair week that the whole week ends up being filled with work. But she is not complaining, Indeed, in her remarks, she

noted that Richmond Fair week is “my favourite week by far for the whole year”. She said that when she was growing up, her parents instilled in her the need for people to help out in their community and this is what she tries to do. And this is what she does, not only helping with the Richmond Fair but with numerous other community endeavours. She helps with the Ottawa Race Weekend and with the Richmond Royals hockey team of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. She volunteers with the Goulbourn Museum and with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. She also volunteers with the Stittsville 56ers men’s ball team, Stittsville Food Bank, the Stittsville Village Association, the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville, the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, the Royal Canadian Legion, and the Big Sisters organization.
