Library room named in honour of Grace Thompson by john curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library now has a name. It has been named after Stittsville historian, author and community builder, Grace Thompson (19232009). A plaque outlining Grace’s contributions to the Stittsville and Goul-

bourn community was unveiled at a commemorative naming ceremony at the library on Thursday, Oct. 5. In addition to the plaque, a sign is going to be placed above the entrance to the meeting room showing that it has been named in honour of Grace. Grace Thompson was a main researcher and writer of the Tweedsmuir History for Stittsville, a collection of historical information and photographs about Stittsville collected and

prepared by the Stittsville Women’s Institute. This information formed the basis for the publication of the book Country Tales about the history of Stittsville, which was published in 1973. Country Tales was followed by another book, Farms and Families, which outlined the histories of various farm families in the Stittsville area. In 1981, Grace compiled and wrote Remembering Our Railway, detailing

the history of the railway in Stittsville and Ashton. She went on to write a couple of books about her ancestors, North Shore Legacy and The Sloan Family Saga. But Grace’s contributions to the community went beyond her groundbreaking historical research and writing. See GRACE THOMPSON, page 7

Enjoy what you are doing, master gardener says special to the news

“It’s all about you.” That’s what you have to keep in mind when you are deciding what to do about your older garden and whether you should rip it out, rejuvenate it, or do something else. It’s your garden, not your neighbour’s, master gardener Mary Sherman Reid of the Green Thumb Garden Centre told those at the September meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society in Stittsville. She said that there needs to be some self-reflection involved in determining what is wrong with your garden, what you don’t like about it, and what makes you unhappy with it. This should then lead to a game plan outlining what needs to be done. But in doing this, the most important thing, according to Reid, is that you should enjoy what you are doing and should have some fun doing it. For a tired- or old-looking garden, you can hire someone to undertake a big redo or you can determine the amount of time, energy, and money that you can spend on the project and then you can do a little bit at a time yourself, showing patience in knowing that it will not all happen overnight. You may want to change your garden because it no longer is the style of garden that you want or it no longer meets your family’s needs. But develop a plan of attack for your project. This means look at the yard and garden sector by sector so that you can do the work in bite-sized pieces. If you don’t do it this way, then you will probably be overwhelmed by the project. The plan should include an inventory of what you have in the garden, what can be changed, and what cannot be changed such as a hydro pole or a hydrant. When inventorying your garden, it is a good idea to make a record of the blooming periods for the flowers so that all periods will be covered. A blooming schedule could include, for

example, crocus, daffodils, tulips, peonies, iris, day lilies, black-eyed Susans, sedum, mums, and asters. Reid recommended dead-heading flowers. This not only makes the garden look better but by dead-heading, the plant’s energy goes back into the plant rather than for seed production. She also recommended using mulch in the garden. This keeps moisture in the soil and keeps weeds out. She said that it is a tidy way to fix up an ugly garden. There’s a time and place for all plants, but sometimes decisions have to be made about what is inappropriate for your garden. In pruning shrubs like lilacs, you

never want to take out more than one-third of the branches at one time. Using this time frame, an overgrown lilac can be rejuvenated over a threeyear span. This is a way for a plant that has become totally overgrown to be made respectable again without getting rid of it. Cedars and yews are easy to prune but junipers are not so co-operative as they never come back from pruning. If a juniper is beyond its prime, it is time to take it out. In selecting plants for your yard and garden, there are a number of factors to consider such as sun exposure and hardiness, size and shape, the blooming period and colour, fragrance, texture, and pest/disease resistance.

Lifetime gardener speaking at Horticultural Society Special to the News

Those at the upcoming October meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society will hear from a lifetime gardener, Robert Stuart. He has not only been an avid gardener since he was young, but he is now a master gardener. At the horticultural society meeting, he will be talking about the many options available to allow for featuring continuous colour and interest in a garden throughout the whole season. Robert Stuart had his first garden when he was just eight years old. It was a small plot of land allocated by his father where he grew beans, carrots, beets and lettuce, along with lots of weeds. Since moving to Ottawa in 1970, Robert has had many vegetable and flower gardens as he moved from

home to home. Since 2003, he has focused on alpine gardening and is an active member in a number of rock garden societies, where he takes full advantage of their annual seed exchanges. He tries to grow most of his plants from seed. This includes trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. He is always aware that success in doing this is a movable target and not always achieved. You can hear master gardener Robert Stuart at the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend. There is no guest fee. Memberships will be available at the meeting. It is $15 per person for a membership or $25 for a family.

Stittsville News - Thursday, October 12, 2017 3

100th birthday for Margaret Kessels of Stittsville some would collaborate with the Germans. She tells how people could be executed in the street at random. Her future husband Joe and others including her brother were shipped off to forced labour in Germany to free up Germans for the army. And she remembers the last six months or so of the war when hunger prevailed in Holland. Food rations had been getting less and less throughout the war until starvation was rampant in the months leading to the end and the Liberation of the country. She and her husband Joe were married in 1948 and due to a housing shortage in the country they lived with her parents. In 1957, they decided to come to Canada and they emigrated in 1957, first settling in Perth. They then moved to Ottawa where she got a job at Zellers and Joe, a camera enthusiast, worked in the camera department at Sears. After renting an apartment in Ottawa for several years, they purchased a home in Fringewood North in Stittsville in 1968. Joe, who died at 74 years of age in 1991, worked at Sears for 24 years. Margaret liked working

at Zellers but eventually wrote the civil service exam and joined the Department of Agriculture at the Experimental Farm, staying there for 13 years until she retired at 65. Margaret has always liked to cook and bake and developed a reputation as a good cook. She loves to play scrabble and played bingo occasionally over the years. She also has done a lot of knitting since first learning the skill in school. She has been and remains a member of the Friendship Club in Stittsville. She and her husband Joe did a lot of travelling while living in Fringewood. Joe was an avid photographer and travelling allowed him to take lots of photos. They travelled across Canada and to the United States including Florida. They also went back to Holland every so often, also visiting other parts of Europe, such as Austria, which Margaret found to be really beautiful. Now living in a retirement residence, she does not like losing the independence of living in her own home but she does admit that the retirement residence is good in that there is always something to do and so you never have to be bored.

In 1917, World War One was still raging in Europe and the Bolshevik Revolution was unfolding in Russia. And that was the year that Margaret Kessels was born in her native Holland. Well, this week, on Friday, Oct. 13 to be exact, Margaret Kessels, a long time Stittsville resident, will be celebrating her 100th birthday. There will be a celebration at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Oct. 13 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Friday, the 13th is sometimes associated with bad luck. And while Margaret admits that she is a little superstitious about the 13th, she has found that the 13th has been a date on which many good things have happened to her in her life. Not only was she born on the 13th, she and her late husband Joe arrived in Perth on the 13th of the month after emigrating to Canada from Holland in 1957. She also points out that her room number now at the Stittsville Retirement Community by Revera where she has lived since 2015 is “113.” Margaret was born in Amsterdam on Oct. 13, 1917, going to school there and beginning to work there. She then lived through the Second World War in Holland and has always said that she would never forget what happened there during the war, even if she lived to be 100. Well, now she is going to be 100 and she still remembers all that happened there during the War. She recalls seeing Jewish friends and neighbours who suddenly In Your Community Newspaper* went away, never to return. She says that she and others did not know at the time about the Holocaust and the German attempts to exterminate the Jewish people. She wonders even to THE 3 ONE BUY 2, GET * this day how the Nazis could have had so much hate for the Jews for no real reason. She recalls how Dutch people were SAVE 50 YS told to sign cards pledging loyalty $ ON LY 2DA to their German invaders but she re- * in select areas 369 fused to sign such a card. She also 899 50 remembers how people had to be cautious about neighbours because

Phil Sweetnam, owner of the Fringewood North community, notes that after Margaret’s husband Joe died in 1991, her neighbours in Fringewood were diligent in providing any assistance that she might need to help her to continue to live at home. They looked after shovelling her driveway, helping her with grocery shopping and being there to help in other ways. When Margaret was no longer able to drive, the Stittsville District Lions Club stepped forward to help her purchase an electric scooter which she was able to use to get around. Phil notes that Joe provided him with good advice about photographic equipment and camera techniques. He notes as well that Margaret was active in the Fringewood community and could always be seen walking around the Fringewood streets for exercise. She also led an exercise group of seniors and loved to swim at the pool at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club. Phil drops in to the Stittsville Seniors Community (Villa) John Curry/Metroland on Stittsville Main Street every couple of weeks to visit with Margaret Kessels of Stittsville is celebrating her Margaret. 100th birthday on Friday, Oct. 13.

Humour was front and centre at the Oct. 4 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. This meeting saw the Stittsville Toastmasters Club host the Area 11 humour contest with members from three other Toastmasters Clubs, namely Decisive, Kanata and West End, participating along with representation from the Stittsville Club. The contest was organized by Julie Salgado, a Stittsville Club member who is also an area director. Four speakers who were humourous speech contest winners at the club level competed in this contest. Lori Holloway of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club delivered an entertaining fishing tale. Todd Fetterly of the De-

turous trip to New York in a speech entitled “Three days in New York.” Daniel Riendeau of the West End Toastmasters Club told a story containing a life lesson that was entitled “Lessons from the Mountains.” Craig Deprez of the Decisive Toastmasters Club had a comic spin in his speech which was entitled “Know what you don’t know.” Craig Deprez emerged as the contest winner, with Daniel Riendeau placing second. Following the contest and a social break, the meeting resumed with a test speaker presenting a speech. The title of her speech was “Who am I and who are you.” Her name was not announced so that her speech so that the evaluation contest participants would not know anything about her.

Nena Nera, a District 61 Mentor Circle leader and a member of Advanced Speakers. She is a distinguished Toastmaster as well as being 84 years old and a great grandmother. She shared three life lessons with her audience, namely respect cultures, do not be afraid of anyone and treat everyone fairly. Four evaluators participated in the contest, namely Craig Deprez, Melanie Peter, Richard Cook and Monika Jain. Craig Deprez completed a great night by winning the evaluation contest of the speech. Craig now goes on to the Division contest as a representative of Area 11.

Grace Thompson made Stittsville a better place She was the first secretary-treasurer of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society in 1962 as well as a founding member of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers in 1977. She was instrumental in the naming of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, with the name arising from the fact that 1977 was the 25th anniversary jubilee year for Queen Elizabeth. She was a member of the original steering committee which led to the formation of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society and also was among the first volunteers of the Stittsville Public Library when it opened in 1973, continuing to volunteer with the library into the 1980s. Grace was a member of the Stittsville Women’s Institute for which she did such yeoman work compiling the Tweedsmuir History volumes and the books arising out of that work. Grace Thompson, then Grace Sloan, moved to Stittsville in 1948 with her parents, a time when Stittsville had a population of about 400 people. She worked in Ottawa at the time. It was after moving to Stittsville that she met Emerson Thompson and they were married in 1955, the last couple to be married at the old St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Carp Road. Emerson, who served as the clerk when Stitts-

ville was an incorporated village, died in 1985. He was an avid gardener at their home on Hillscrest Avenue at Cherry Drive and indeed the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society named an award, the Thompson Tomato Trophy, after him. City of Ottawa Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, in his remarks at the plaque unveiling ceremony, called Grace an amazing lady whose “selfless efforts” helped make Stittsville a better place. He said that the naming of the meeting room at the Stittsville library branch was an excellent way of honouring her contributions to the community. Also speaking at the plaque unveiling ceremony were Barbara Bottriell, who called Grace an extraordinary woman who knew how to research and write, and Lesley McKay who called Grace a role model for many. Both Bottriell and McKay, who submitted the proposal for this commemorative naming, are executive members of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Others in attendance at the commemorative naming ceremony included Ottawa Public Library chief executive officer Danielle McDonald, Ottawa Public Library trustee Kathy Fisher and four members of the Thompson family; Ray Thompson, his wife Leda, Paula Thompson and Susan Oliver.

Kings Creek Regulations and Hazard Land Mapping Your input is important. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has completed a mapping study along Kings Creek from the Brunton Side Road to the Jock River. Please join us at our open house to view and comment on the new regulations and hazard land maps for Kings Creek and learn how floodplain, slope delineation and wetland features may affect shoreline management and/or development in the City of Ottawa and Townships of Beckwith and Montague. The goal of this mapping is to help ensure that sound planning decisions are made — keeping people and property safe. Accurate engineered hazard land mapping is the foundation of effective floodplain and resource management. To learn more, visit www.rvca.ca/kings-creek-mapping-study.

Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

Your donation will help care for these cats.

It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies. It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares. Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Johnstons had a common touch

he position of Governor General in Canada is largely ceremonial. Granted, the Governor General, as head of state, does have some constitutional powers but these have rarely been exercised. In 1926, for instance, the so-called “King/Byng Affair” saw governor general Lord Byng refuse to call a new election as requested by prime minister Mackenzie King. But just because the post is ceremonial does not mean that it is irrelevant or superfluous. The recently departed governor general David Johnston showed how the position can make a difference, even as a monarchist figurehead in our mostly democratic society. That’s because Johnston, as governor general, managed to bring government closer to the people simply by being a sincere, down-to-earth, regulartype person. He is even a former hockey player and you can’t be more Canadian than that. He talked to many and showed a particular affection for children. Most importantly, he seemed to enjoy his duties and meeting people along the way. It must be admitted that he was anything but a household name when first appointed to the position in 2010, succeeding Michaelle Jean. Sure, he

was an author and university president but he was pretty much under the public’s radar. He simply was not widely known. But perhaps this in some ways was a blessing in disguise as expectations were not high, allowing him to quickly exceed them, to the benefit of all Canadians. His secret weapon, as it were, was not only his charming manner but also his equally outgoing wife, Sharon. It turned out that in the appointment of David as governor general, Canadians got two for the price of one. They worked together, with Sharon becoming a familiar sight at events, both with her husband and often on her own, dispensing her own brand of regal dignity mixed with the common touch. So, we as Canadians have had it fortunate over the past seven years with David, assisted by his wife, handling this post of governor general. He gave the position a likeable dignity which was a winning combination. So, thank you, David, and, yes, Sharon as well, for showing all of us Canadians that the post of governor general is meaningful, not in political power but certainly in people power. They made the position human and relatable. If only all of our elected politicians could do as well!

sports National honour for Jack Fan Special to the News

Goulbourn Skating Club member Jack Fan has received another honour, this one a national one. Jack has been selected as the Male Athlete of the Year for 2017 by Special Olympics Canada. This comes on the heels of his being chosen as the 2017 Male Athlete of the Year by Special Olympics Ontario. He will be in Toronto this month to receive the Ontario award and then will be back there in November for the national award. The Special Olympics Canada national awards recognize athletes, coaches and volunteers who have exemplified the spirit and essence of the Special Olympics movement throughout the year. Jack Fan has been involved with Special Olympics Ontario for ten years, competing in figure skating, swimming and athletics (track). He has demonstrated dedication and success in all three of these sports. In figure skating with the Goulbourn Skating Club, he was selected in 2017 to compete at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria where he captured two gold medals as well as a silver medal. Jack is described as an incredibly kind competitor and teammate who can often be heard offering words of encouragement to those around him. Receiving this national award is not the only honour that Jack will be receiving in November. He and fellow Goulbourn Skating Club member Katie Xu, who also attended the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria, will be among the Special Olympics Team Canada members who will be honoured by the federal government on Parliament Hill on Nov. 29. It will be a full day with activities with schools in the morning, attendance at the House of Commons in the afternoon and an evening reception. Special Olympics Canada, which awards these national awards, was established in 1969 as the Canadian chapter of the Special Olympics movement which is dedicated to enriching the lives of Canadians with intellectual disabilities through the power and joy of sport. More than 42,000 athletes with an intellectual disability are registered

in Special Olympics programs across Canada. They are supported by more than 20,000 volunteers including more than 15,000 coaches. At the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria last March, Jack won the gold medal in his singles figure skating event while also teaming up with fellow skater Katie Xu in winning in the ice dancing competition. Jack was a member of Team Canada for the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games thanks to his performance at the national Special Olympics competition in Corner Brook, N.L. in 2016. At this national competition, Jack won two gold medals as well as a bronze medal. A banner acknowledging these medal performances at the 2016 national competition hangs on the north wall of arena ‘A’ at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. Now 20 years old, Jack was one of 18 figure skaters who were part of the Team Canada figure skating group at the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria. Jack has been skating for eight years. He likes both solo and dance pairs skating, citing the exercise as well as the fun.

Ontario Doesn’t Need Another Control Board Last week the Premiers from every province gathered to discuss, among other things, the impending federal legalization of marijuana. Next July, in Ontario marijuana will be a legalized substance to be bought and sold. When the time comes, we will need to have a solid regulatory framework ready to kick in and I wanted to briefly share my thoughts on what that should look like. I believe that we need a free and fair market system to regulate the production, distribution, and licensed sale of cannabis within the province of Ontario. I believe that the free market is the best mechanism to manage this system and we can leave it up to private industry to determine the success or failure of the industry. Creating a new version of the LCBO is not the solution, government monopolies or government sanctioned monopolies have proven ineffective in the past and this is not going to change. An important part of this new system will be keeping marijuana out of the hands of minors and taking power away from organized crime. That is why we need to make sure that any plan that is passed is signed off by the OPP as well as regional police forces. We need to get this right the first time; we cannot afford to saddle ourselves with a system that doesn’t work, we already know what that looks like and it isn’t good.

‘Kids on Broadway’ fundraiser for Kate Cooney by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

It was Broadway galore on stage at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Oct. 5. Songs and scenes from musical theatre productions that have been staged at the school in recent years appeared one after another at a special “Kids on Broadway” fundraiser. It was all in support of Kate Cooney, a registered early childhood educator at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School who was diagnosed with glioblastoma during the

summer. This is an aggressive and inoperable brain tumour that has left her ill and unable to return to work. It was most appropriate that the fundraiser should highlight musical theatre because for the past five years, musical theatre productions at the school were inspired and produced by Cooney. Posters highlighting the various musical theatre shows that have been presented at A. Lorne Cassidy in recent years were posted on pillars and walls in the foyer and gymnasium areas for the fundraiser. The gymnasium was standing-room only for the hour-long “Kids on Broadway” per-

formance. This was followed by auctions in the school library with many items donated by local businesses up for grabs to the highest bidder. The foyer was jammed with activities like face painting and a bake table as the A. Lorne Cassidy community turned out in huge numbers to show their support for Cooney. And Cooney herself was able to attend, wearing a sporty orange hat as she, her husband Dave and two of their children had front row seats for the “Kids on Broadway” performance, sitting in full view of a huge sign at the side of the stage featuring a rainbow and hearts with the words “We Love U

Mrs. Cooney.” One of the student MCs, Ethan Copeman, welcomed everyone to the “Kids on Broadway” show, saying it was going to be an amazing show in honour of an amazing person, Mrs. Cooney, who, he said, had touched the lives of many students by bringing musical theatre back to the school. And the “Kids on Broadway” performances started off with a performance by students in the extended day program dressed as ducks (the school’s team nickname) and singing Let’s All Cheer for ALC, a song written by Cooney which features a lot of quacking and pride in being “a duck.” This opening number was followed by a steady stream of songs and performances from recent school musical theatre productions overseen by Cooney.

Students perform at ALC Continued from page 11

These included Under the Sea, from The Little Mermaid; One Jump Ahead from Aladdin; the drum-featured STOMP; the Gaston song from Beauty and the Beast; the song Supercalifragillisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins, complete with umbrellas; Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz; an assortment of songs from the musical Annie which had been directed by Cooney just last June which included a special appearance by last year’s leading lady and graduate Eliana De Lima-Ventresca as Miss Hannigan and including the song Tomorrow and ending with a group shout “We love you, Mrs. Cooney”; Circle of Life from The Lion King; On My Own which was sung by Cooney’s daughter Molly as requested; and the grand finale Can you feel the love tonight from The Lion King, with glow sticks being waved by assembled and participating students. Following the “Kids on Broadway” performances, as those in attendance filed out of the gymnasium to make

their way to the school library for the auctions there, Cooney received many hugs from students, parents and staff members. All proceeds from this “Kids on Broadway’ fundraiser at A. Lorne Cassidy are going to support the Cooney family as Kate battles the cancer. A GoFundMe account also has been set up to help with family costs and expenses not covered by OHIP during Cooney’s long-term treatment. Kate and her husband Dave live in Carleton Place where she is known as a tireless supporter of youth theatre for the Mississippi MUDDS. Cooney has worked as a registered early childhood educator for over 20 years, the last five of these in the kindergarten classroom at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. She also brought her love of musical theatre, going to the school two hours early to bring musical theatre to the students.

Celebration of nativity scenes Special to the News

Nativity scenes are very much a part of the scene at Christmas. There are often nativity scenes adorning front lawns or on display in homes or at churches. And now you will be able to see and enjoy a large variety of these nativity scenes at a celebration at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road near Huntmar Drive on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you would like to display your own nativity scene, you are most certainly welcome to do so. Or you may just want to drop in to the church that day and enjoy the diversity and wonder of the many nativity scenes which will be on display. The nativity scene is also referred to as the manger scene, crib and/or crĂ¨che. It is a scene that has often been depicted in art and usually includes shepherds, sheep, angels, a donkey, a

ďż˝

manger and stable, wise men or magi, and camels. St. Francis of Assisi is credited with creating the first nativity scene in 1223 in order to encourage the worship of Jesus. It is believed that St. Francis was inspired during a trip to the Holy Land where he visited what is thought to be the traditional birthplace of Jesus. Over the years, nativity scenes have taken on many different forms, made from a variety of media and materials by artists and others around the world. Everyone is most welcome to attend this nativity celebration at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Nov. 4. And, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, you can participate by displaying your own nativity scene if you wish. For more information about this nativity celebration, please call Trinity Presbyterian Church at 613-836-1429 or email info.trinity. kanata@gmail.com.

Ethel unexpectedly cuts her intended visit short

thel was just one of the many people who came to visit the farm in Northcote, and no one was ever sure how she was connected to the family. The first time she came, suitcase in hand, Father said he never saw her before in his life. And certainly Mother, who hadn’t been on the farm that long, didn’t know who she was either. However, she came bag and baggage one day in the early Fall, claiming to be related on Father’s side of the family. She wasn’t about to give particulars, just saying, “we’re kin you know... and we go way back.” Ethel claimed to live in Pembroke. But Father said he was pretty sure he didn’t have any relatives there. However, none of that seemed to matter. Ethel was here, and she planned on staying. I was delighted. I loved company. The only problem was my sister Audrey and I

And then there was the question of the Gerry pot under her bed. She had two choices, use it when the need arose during the night, or pick her way downstairs, out through the summer kitchen and over to the outhouse. She told Mother she couldn’t imagine anyone not having a bathroom with a flush-toilet. Of course, she also commented on the old copy of Eaton’s that strong smell was.

the stove lids, hit the poker against the wood box, and made so much noise you would have had to be stone deaf to sleep through the racket. Ethel had no choice but to get out of bed with the rest of us. It wasn’t a good start to the day. Ethel smoked cigarettes, which I thought gave her a touch of elegance. And after breakfast was cleared away, she headed outside, “To take a look around,” she said. Well, you could hear the screams in Admaston. Mother rushed to the door, to see Ethel tearing across the yard heading for the back door, and the old gobbler hot after her. He was a mean one alright, and so he was seldom let out of the pen. He would chase anyone who came within a country mile of him, and he could run like the wind. Well, Ethel decided she had

Her long-stay visit lasted exactly one day and one night. When Father got back, Mother wondered how the old gobbler got out of the pen. Father blew smoke out of his pipe, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head, and said, “I knew that old bird would be useful some day. Even the turkey hens will have nothing to do with him. And he must have figured out how to open the pen gate all on his own.” And he threw back his head and laughed.

Skateboard art by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

A skateboard deck emblazoned with the word “Create” is being raffled off at Sacred Heart High School in the next week. The skateboard deck featuring not only the word “Create” but also an array of artwork was created by grade eight student Christina Hastings as part of an intermediate-level skateboard art project. Christina’s skateboard deck was chosen as the winner in the project and is being raffled off, with the proceeds going to the charity of Christina’s choice. This happens to be Hair Donation Ottawa which Christina chosen because her mother battled breast cancer and she wants to see research find a cure for cancer. She hopes that whoever wins the skateboard in the raffle will perhaps display it on a wall, feeling that it is art that should appeal to a teen. She notes that she put a lot of time into creating it, noting that doing art on a skateboard deck is different because it is not a flat surface. This skateboard art all started when Christina was in grade seven and her design was chosen from submissions so that she got to create it on a maple skateboard deck. She started the design and then completed it on her own time over the summer. She featured the word “create” on the skateboard because she likes to create art which slows her to express how she feels. But she also added a wave along the length of the board as well as including detailed zentangle or doodle art on the board as well. Her grandmother is a great zentangle art fan which led her to choose the inclusion of zentangle art on the board. Blue is the main colour on the board, not only because of the wave design that is included but also because blue is Christina’s favourite colour. The zentangle art included in the

This is the skateboard deck with the word “Create” on it, along with lots of intricate artwork, all done by Christina Hastings. board’s design proved to be challenging for Christina because she had to think up a continuous flow of new designs for the small zentangle characters that appear on the board. Adding a metallic colour to some of the characters was one way to ensure that every one was different. Christina admits that art is a big part of her life. She always carries a sketch book with her and has an art room at home where she can constantly pursue her art. Most of her art is sketched with pencils. She uses shading but only uses colour if the sketch absolutely needs it. “I love creating anything,” she says, noting that since she was very young, she has always had a pencil or crayon in her hand. When she was seven years old, she went on You Tube to learn about art techniques. Ever since then, she has kept an art book for each succeeding year, each filled with her art. Christina would like to pursue a career in art, perhaps as an artist or even an art teacher. Whatever happens, she knows that her art is something that she never wants to lose in her lifetime. She notes that her grandmother and father both do art so that the love of art runs in her family. Christina’s priorities include school, family and art. She says that if she is not doing homework, she will probably be sketching. She likes volleyball and art but art is her real passion. She says that she does well drawing faces but is not that good at drawing hands. She says that she has to do more work on drawing hands and various body shapes, making them more detailed.

The Munster Cooperative Nursery School, founded in 1976, is operated by a cooperative of parents and is housed in the former Munster Elementary School building. At the Munster Cooperative Nursery School, children are encouraged to develop at their own pace through programs that are structured and yet flexible enough to allow a choice of activities each day. This allows youngsters to enhance their individual strengths and to develop a sense of worth. The children also learn to work together and to problem solve, all while playing and having fun. Ann-Marie Dean, the teacher/ director of the Munster Cooperative Nursery School, has worked with children for the past 15 years including working in a number of day care centres and also operating her own home daycare. The programs offered by the Munster Cooperative Nursery School are all offered half days including a toddler program for those 18 to 30 months of age and a preschool program for children who will be three years old by Dec. 31.

One year anniversary open house on Oct. 19

Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study

Special to the News

It’s a one year anniversary open house that really is a celebration. It’s a celebration of an initial year of operation for Saterra Psychological and Counselling Services on Iber Road in Stittsville which has seen the firm not only become accepted by the medical community and residents in the area but also has seen the firm grow its services to meet needs that have arisen. Saterra Psychological and Counselling Services, operated by Dr. Davina Bakerman and Dr. Vanessa Illing along with a group of associates, views itself as a full service mental health practice striving to provide excellence in care. It is care that is evidence based, as science and research is consulted and then applied in appropriate strategies in individual cases. Over the past year Saterra has added some new or enhanced services. For example, Saterra now has a psychologist who only does psycho-educational assessments for children and adolescents. Having a person who solely does assessments means that assessments can be done quicker, providing better service. Drs. Bakerman and Illing saw a need for a full service mental health practice in the area and the first year in operation has shown that indeed this was the case. A number of military veterans the RCMP personnel living in the area are benefitting from the treatment available locally, as often those suffering from mental health situations in these professions have difficulty travelling into an urban setting.

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

John Curry/Metroland

Dr. Davina Bakerman (left) and Dr. Vanessa Illing (right) opened Saterra Psychological and Counselling Services a year ago. A one year anniversary open house is being held on Thursday, Oct. 19 at Saterra’s Iber Road premises with everyone welcome. Dr. Illing points out that it is important for a firm like Satera to be connected with family physicians and to work collaboratively with them which has happened. Saterra plans to continue to expand its service to meet the community’s needs. They love their location at 120 Iber Road, just like their clients do. It is not only close to home with free parking but the premises themselves feature a wall of windows looking out onto trees. This environment is found very relaxing and calming for clients, especially those suffering from trauma or anxiety who like a serene, soothing space such as that found at Saterra. See SATERRA, page 25

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.

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

October 12, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Carp/Hazeldean Collision Report Residents have been reaching out to my office with concerns regarding the intersection at Carp and Hazeldean. My office has been looking into concerns pertaining to this particular intersection with traffic staff for quite some time. Upon forwarding resident requests for an advance green left-turn-light, staff response in the past has always been that vehicular traffic is not high enough to justify such a feature. More background on this particular study can be found on my website. While I can appreciate the desire for additional safety concerns at this intersection, I have requested that Traffic staff supply my office with traffic data / collision reports so that I may share it with residents. A summarized breakdown of the collision data from 2011-2015 is available in PDF form on my website or by visiting https:// shadqadri.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/2011-to-2015-collisionhistory-carp-at-hazeldean.pdf In 2015, this intersection ranked 167th of 955 signalized intersections in the City (tied with 19 other intersections) with a total of 10 collisions, comparative with 2014 data wherein the intersection ranked 50th (tied with 11 other intersections) with a total of 18 collisions. Of note, Hunt Club and Riverside had the highest number of collisions in 2015 with a total of 60. 2016 numbers are not available for review until finalized later this fall. The City’s Safety Improvement Program (SIP) identifies high collision locations, based upon police collision reports and traffic volumes. Engineering studies have found that locations that have a statistically over-represented collision trend, may benefit from engineering countermeasures. For example, if there are more left-turn collisions at a location, than other similar intersections, and these are found to be statistically overrepresented, then it may be worthwhile to install a protected/ dedicated left-turn phase. If a collision trend is not over-represented, compared to other similar locations, then it is possible that a side effect of the intervention may create other problems that could result in a general decline in the safety of the location. The SIP program recognizes that there are many locations across the City, that have over-represented collision trends, and uses it’s funding to address these locations as a priority. The SIP program is mandated to determine locations where the investment is likely to reduce the most collisions. I hope that these statistics help to shed additional light on the intersection for many residents. Of course, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

Public Meeting for Future Blackstone Development Phases I am happy to invite residents to attend a Public Meeting regarding a proposed plan of subdivision by Mattamy Homes Ltd. for the property at 5505 Fernbank Road.

Happenings at Richmond Legion Special to the News

Friday night darts is returning as of Friday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. Fourteen teams have been formed. This year, singles play is being introduced, to take place after team play. These darts nights are open to everyone; you do not have to be a legion member to participate. There is always a need for spares. Fees for team play are $100 for the year per player. Spares pay $5 per night. POPPY CAMPAIGN The poppy campaign at the Richmond Legion will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 28 with the branch’s door-to-door canvass. Just be at the Richmond Legion Hall at 9 a.m. and pick up a route map. All you have to do is knock on the doors and ask if they would like a poppy. You matter what the response, you just have to smile and say, “thank you.” It is a great way for students to earn community service hours. A hot lunch of soup and sandwiches will be waiting for you when you complete your route and return to the legion hall. There will also be poppy tables set up at local businesses, offering poppies to the public. You may want to spend a couple of hours greeting local shoppers and offering them a poppy instead of doing the door-to-door canvass. These poppy campaign activities are very important to the branch’s fundraising efforts needed to support programs for veterans and their families, including the post-secondary student bursary program. Everyone is welcome to join in and help out. Please contact Jane Louks at 613-838-3244 for more information. The branch’s annual Remembrance dinner will be held on Saturday, Nov. 4. Please contact

Shirley Morris at 613-838-3721 to purchase tickets. The annual Remembrance service in Munster will take place on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. at the Munster Union Cemetery. Everyone is welcome to attend. The annual Remembrance service in Richmond will take place on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at Memorial Park, at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street. Everyone is welcome to attend. JOHNNY CASH TRIBUTE The Richmond Legion is hosting the World’s Most Authentic Johnny Cash Tribute Band Featuring Paul Anthony on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the legion hall on Ottawa Street. Tickets are $20 each. However, seating is limited, so please call Jane Louks at 613-838-3244 soon to avoid disappointment. There will be no tickets sold at the door. Tickets must be picked up and paid for by Nov. 18. SENIORS’ CHRISTMAS DINNER The annual seniors’ Christmas luncheon will be held on Sunday, Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. This year you must call Shirley Morris at 613-838-3721 for a ticket. The contact person has previously been Hilda Moore, but health concerns are preventing Hilda from doing it this year. You must call Shirley to get your name on the list. This dinner is open to anyone in the Richmond area who is 70 years old or older. Admission is a non-perishable donation to the Richmond Food Bank. ACTIVITIES Exercise classes geared to seniors take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. at the legion hall. Coffee is served at the legion hall each weekday at 10 a.m.

Saterra open house on Iber Road Continued from page 21

Dr. Bakerman says that Saterra tries to make its premises “as homey and welcoming as possible.” Saterra’s one year anniversary open house is being held on Thursday, Oct. 19 from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Suite 208, 120 Iber Road in Stittsville. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend. There will be free refreshments provided and there will be an educational talk on a mental health issue at 5:30 p.m. In addition, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is expected to attend. Dr. Bakerman and Dr. Illing are both looking forward to

welcoming mayor Watson to the event as they want to emphasize to him the importance of such full service mental health practices in a community. Institutions like The Royal are needed in providing mental health care but so too are services located out in the community like Saterra. Dr. Bakerman and Dr. Illing also see their role as advocates for mental health services and they are hopeful that this Oct. 19 open house will provide an opportunity for residents in the community to drop in and see what Saterra has to offer in mental health care.

Caivan plans to construct new homes in 2018 Special to the News

Look for new houses to be constructed in Caivan Communities’ first phase of development in the lands at the western edge of Richmond in 2018. A first phase will involve 177 single-family homes immediately south of Perth Street across from the Richmond Home Hardware, extending from the fire hall to the village limits. It is expected that it will take two to three years to build out this first phase before a second phase south and west of this initial site will be started. The Caivan lands do not go as far south as Ottawa Street. Caivan Communities has 131 acres of land altogether, not only south of Perth Street

but also north of Perth Street as well. Caivan will be building a total of 750 homes on this land over a number of years — not only single-family homes but also some townhomes. Caivan will be the home builder in the first phase but will be joined by other builders in future phases. One of these builders will be Metric Homes. Caivan hopes to have a sales office on site next March, along with some model homes. The architecture and design of the homes in this subdivision are still being developed. Lot sizes in the first phase of the development will be 36 feet and 42 feet wide, all for singlefamily homes. Caivan is planning to be

building homes on its land by next summer. Activity related to the development will be getting underway soon including the upgrading of the sewer line along Martin Street to service the new homes. Upgrades are also being made to the sewer force main and pumping station serving Richmond. A new communal well will be developed not only to serve these western development lands which will eventually accommodate as many as 2,500 new housing units but also to be able to provide piped water service to other parts of Richmond, if required. This new communal well, which will service not only the Caivan Communities develop-

ment but also the development lands south of the Caivan lands which are owned by Mattamy Homes, will cost over $10 million to develop, all paid for by development monies. The city will operate and maintain the communal well in the future. As the Caivan Communities’ lands are developed, a main intersection on Perth Street at the main north/ south road into and out of the new development will change, eventually becoming a roundabout that will be not only an urban design feature but also will help calm traffic along Perth Street in this area. It was back in 2006 when the first planning moves related to development of these lands at the western end of Richmond began. Over 20 public meetings were held before a Community Design Plan for the lands was completed and approved by Ottawa city John Curry/Metroland council. These lands were David Proulx (left), who is president of the Richmond Village actually identified for development as early as the Association (RVA), chats with Frank Cairo (right) of Caivan Communities at a recent meeting of the RVA. 1980s.

Wasn’t that a party! They came from Kitchener, Toronto, Sudbury & all points in between. All ages from 98 year old Annie Smith (my card partner) to my 2 new great nieces. After the initial shock because of the scheming of Walter, Bev, Margie, and Shirley, it was most enjoyable. Jason, Jule, Greg, Jackie, Joe, Lauren, and everybody who helped, thank you everything was amazing the food, decorations, and music (great job Kevin!). Also thanks to the Lion’s Club staff. It was a memorable birthday celebration with my sons, daughter-in-law’s, 8 grandchildren, 7 siblings, relatives, and dear friends. Thank you for all coming and for the cards & gifts. I am so blessed Marian Dowdall

Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre (left) and Tino Bevacqua (right) of Richmond’s 200th anniversary organizing committee, stand at the 200th anniversary recognition platform.

Funding continues to accumulate for Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 2018. Two major components of the funding for the celebrations are coming from the federal government and from municipal government. Canadian Heritage has approved a grant of $40,200 in support of Richmond’s 2018 celebration under its Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Program’s Community Historical Anniversaries Programming Component. As for the municipal government, Ottawa city council’s finance and economic development committee, at its Oct. 3 meeting, agreed to recommend to city council that it approve a contribution of $29,000 in support of Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 2018. The funding is to come from the city’s 2018 Recreation, cultural and Facility Services departmental budget. The municipal funding of $29,000 will be used in part to pay for fees and

incidentals related to hosting six celebration events at the city-owned Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena). In addition, the funds will be used to offset the cost of a fireworks display and cleanup at the Richmond fairgrounds and also the cost of a number of children’s activities at the fairgrounds including face painting and Circus Delight attractions. The six events at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre include a New Year’s Eve celebration on Dec. 31, 2017, a family fun skate day on Feb. 18, a Jimmy Buffet dance on Feb. 23/24, the 200th anniversary celebration weekend (June 14-18), a Silver Stick hockey tournament on Dec. 18 and a New Year’s Eve celebration on Dec. 31, 2018. A 200th anniversary organizing committee, working with the Richmond Village Association, is planning a series of community events and activities throughout 2018 with the main celebrations taking place from June 15 to June 17, 2018.

The village of Richmond is the oldest settlement in former Carleton County, established in 1818 as a military settlement. Although the military withdrew its support in 1822, Richmond continued to flourish. In 1850, Richmond was the first community in Carleton County to incorporate as a municipal village. Richmond is the home of the Richmond Fair and for years was known for the goodies provided by the Richmond Bakery which closed in 2014. Richmond is the birth-

By mid-October, the City of Ottawa will have completed Phase 1 of the Carp Snow Disposal Facility, which included primarily the clearing of vegetation. Work for Phase 2 will then begin at 200 Westbrook Road, just off of Carp Road. Every effort is being made to reduce the duration of the construction impacts. A new snow disposal site is needed to accommodate a capacity shortage servicing the west end of the City of Ottawa. This project has been in the works for several years but just received some funding assistance in recent months from upper levels of Government that has allowed the project to move forward. The Contractor, Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd., will perform the work for the City of Ottawa. Phase 2 will include installing environmental measures, excavation, earth moving and stormwater piping. The new Snow Disposal Facility will include an entrance road, perimeter fencing, lighting, a snow stockpiling area, a snow meltwater pond and a stormwater management pond. The construction will also include berms, landscaping, tree planting and a turtle pond. Westbrook Road will be widened at the entrance of the Snow Disposal Facility to accommodate trucks turning into the site. Construction is anticipated to commence mid-October 2017, with construction completion by December 2018. For additional information regarding the project please refer to the project website: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/planning-and-development/ construction-and-infrastructure-projects/snow-disposal-0/ carp-snow-disposal-facility# If you have any questions on this project, you can contact the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project Manager on this file, Jeff DeLoyde at Jeff.Deloyde@ottawa.ca.

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

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

Q: My husband and I are separating and we have two children, aged 11 and 6. Do my children have any say in which parent they will live with? At what age do children have a say in custody arrangements? This is a question with a complicated answer. Essentially, it depends. In Ontario, the law requires that custody and access arrangements be determined based on the best interests of the child. In order to determine what is in the best interests of the child, a judge must consider what are called the views and preferences of the child, only if they can be reasonably ascertained. What does that mean? Well it does not mean that the child gets to decide with whom he or she will live with. What it means is that efforts will be made to determine what their views and preferences are and the weight to be placed on those views will depend on factors such as, the age and maturity of the child. There is no specific age wherein the child will ultimately get to decide. However, with that in mind the views and preferences of a 15 year old will be considered differently than those of a 5 year old. The court will also consider to what extent the views and preferences appear to have been influenced by one parent’s control or manipulation. How do we ascertain the views and preferences of the child? In a custody dispute each parent will typically

express what they will say the children have said to them about who they want to live with. However, as one might suspect this information is not necessarily reliable when coming from a parent engaged in a custody dispute. There are options to obtain more neutral evidence as to the views and preferences of the children. One option is to engage the services of a professional who will prepare what is called a “voice of the child report”. The parties will privately engage a specialist who will interview the parties and the children and make recommendations based on their findings. Another option is for a judge to request that the Office of the Children’s Lawyer get involved. They are a government agency who may engage the services of a lawyer and/or clinician who will conduct interviews and make recommendations for the custody and access arrangements that they feel are appropriate. If you have any questions regarding custody and access it is well worth the investment of engaging the services of a family lawyer to advise you on your own particular situation and the best options available to you for coming to an agreement on custody and access.

The Stittsville Legion Hall is located on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.
