National party leader pays visit to Stittsville John Curry

A national federal political party leader was in Stittsville on Oct. 23. No, it was not the Liberals Justin Trudeau nor the Conservatives’ interim leader Rona Ambrose nor the NDP’s lame duck lead-
Street adjacent to Village Square Park. Among those who dropped in were Penny Vanstone and Bob Grant from Crysler in the Chesterville/Finch area. Penny described the Libertarian Party of Canada platform as “awesome” and said that she is looking forward to see the party grow. And that’s just what party leader Tim Moen wants as well and what he is working towards. He noted that the Libertarian Party of Canada ran 72 candidates in the last federal election and now has the goal of running a full slate of candidates across the country in the next federal election.

Libertarian Party wants to reduce role of government Continued from page 1
He said that due to a surge in the party’s popularity, it could have run 150 candidates in the last election had it been better prepared and able to do so. He said that his goal in the next few years is to develop a robust party organization that will ensure that the party is prepared for the next election. Moen, who grew up Alberta where he is a firefighter, said he was visiting Ottawa and Stittsville to get the word out about the Libertarian Party, saying that it is the only federal party that wants to reduce the role of government in the lives of Canadians. Founded in 1973, the Libertarian Party had its best election results ever in the last federal election. Indeed, in attracting over 500 percent more votes than in the 2011 federal election, the Libertarian Party of Canada is the fastest growing party in the country, albeit with only 0.21 percent of the popular vote in the 2015 election. Moen noted that the libertarian philosophy has been growing recently in the United States and he claimed that Conservative Party leadership candidate Maxime Bernier had literally stolen the Libertarian Party’s economic platform in announcing his own economic platform recently. Moen said that his goal is to get into the televised leaders’ debate at the next election but added that even if he does not, his voice will be heard through social media and the internet. He said that for the Libertarian Party, a win is having smaller government. He said that if he never wins an election but ends up influencing society resulting in smaller government, he will consider that a win. He works full time as a firefighter and performs his party leadership duties as a volunteer, noting that he is passionate about the party. He would love to be able to work full time as party leader some day. Moen had driven to Ottawa from Markham late Saturday night, Oct. 22, arriving at 2 a.m. He was picked up at 8:30 a.m. to begin his day in Stittsville. After the morning gathering at the log building on Abbott Street, he was off to the Stittsville Shooting Ranges on Fernbank Road where he would be joining a local group which was to include radio commentator Brian Lilley. It had originally been to include city of Ottawa Innes ward councillor Jody Mitic but he had to withdraw because of a personal matter.

‘Tea with Tim’ at log building beside Village Square Continued from page 3
Following time at the Stittsville Shooting Ranges, party leader Moen was scheduled to be involved in a private meeting at the Tom Black farm on Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn. Originally Moen was to hold his public meet ‘n greet gathering at the Stittsville Shooting Ranges but it could not be worked out, so JoAnne Cooney, who was organizing this area visit by the Libertarian Party leader, turned to log building owner Sue Bird of Stittsville to use the building as an alternate site for the gathering. JoAnne knew about the building because she had just recently organized two Ontario Landowners Association events there on Oct. 6 and Oct. 16.
The mission of the Libertarian Party of Canada is to reduce the responsibilities and expenses of government so that individuals may each manage his or her own lives. The Libertarian Party of Canada has a platform covering economic policy (flat tax), environment (no subsidies), foreign policy (bring troops home and free trade), criminal justice, privacy rights (protect privacy), sensible firearms laws (responsible ownership), health care (increase choice) and property rights. Tim Moen was elected leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada in May 2014. The Libertarian Party of Canada was founded in 1973 and achieved registered status in the 1979 federal election when more than 50 candidates ran for the party.

Here’s the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s time again for the Ghoulbourn Spook Show in Stittsville. This will be the 14th straight year that Joseph Carbonetto has hosted the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show, beginning with just a few attractions on the front lawn of his then-Carberry Drive home and evolving to last year’s production involving the front lawn, his garage and all the windows in his now-Cherry Drive home. This year the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will operate at 72 Cherry Drive on Friday, Oct. 28, Saturday, Oct. 29, Sunday, Oct. 30 and Monday, Oct. 31 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each evening, although it may run later on Halloween (Oct. 31). And, of course, just like in other years, the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show is free, although those attending are urged to bring along a food item or monetary contribution for donation to the Stittsville Food Bank. This year the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will not include a haunted garage area but will be confined to the front yard and the windows of the house. But Ghoul-bourn Spook Show creator Joseph Carbonetto promises that there will be lots for kids in this year’s presentation. Indeed, a crew of three spent a day just setting up the front yard. “It’s actually going to be a pretty good show just for the front yard,”
says Joseph who admits that the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show is evolving and while the attractions will be a little bit different this year, there will be an even greater difference next year as he moves further and further into the design and development of not only haunt attractions but also the creation of props for escape rooms, amusement companies and even television and movies. Yes, things have happened quickly in the past couple of years for Joseph as his little enterprise which started as a small Halloween lawn display and grew into the Ghoulbourn Spook Show attracting 2,000 people at Halloween time has now evolved into a consulting business that sees him and a crew of five design and supply props to a variety of customers. And while the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will continue, Joseph is now busy year round designing custom props and displays, especially for the now-popular escape rooms which need both design and ongoing maintenance. Escape room firms tell Joseph what they want a room to look like and then he makes it happen and maintains it for the 12 to 18 months that the room is used before it is replaced by another room design. Joseph says that there is a lot of sophisticated technology now incorporated into props while there is also a demand for interactive props. For instance, three people standing a certain way in a room could trigger the opening of a door. Joseph says that he has now
moved to a cinematic level in his prop design, incorporating special effects like might be found in the movies. He also is involved in providing makeup and custom prosthetics for projects. Joseph admits that “anything’s possible now” with regard to props and attractions. He admits that this 14 year journey of his from a small front yard Halloween display on Carberry Drive to his Ghoul-bourn Spook Show at his home on Cherry Drive started as a labour of love in honour of his late brother who loved Halloween, became a passion and now has become a very busy consulting business, not just for the Ottawa area but much farther afield as well, with even some international projects pending. He said that he started out 14 years ago knowing very little about creating displays and props but he learned through experimenting, failing at times and ultimately finding out what works and trying again and again, while learning from others including from some in Hollywood. “It’s all part of growth,” Joseph says. He admits that he did not set out to be a consultant in this business but one thing led to another. He admits that it is fun, although challenging, but says that it all goes back to “doing what you love.” That’s how it has evolved from a

Flu vaccine clinics coming up
Notice of a proposed Open House and Public Meeting in accordance with Section 26 of the Planning Act
John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Draft Official Plan Amendment Employment Land, Agricultural Land, and Growth Projections This is to give notice of a proposed Official Plan Amendment that results from the review and update the Employment Lands, Agricultural Lands and the Growth Projections. The proposed amendment will amend Official Plan policies and the designation of some land in both urban and rural areas.
Open House – Monday, November 14, 2016
The purpose of the Open House is to provide the public with information concerning the Draft Official Plan Amendment and to allow the public to ask questions. Two sessions will be offered on Monday, November 14, 2016 at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive as follows: Agricultural Land and LEAR only Drop in from 2 to 4 p.m. Main floor, Room 1C Agricultural Land, LEAR, Employment Lands and Growth Projections Open House at 6 p.m. Formal presentation at 7 p.m., followed by Q&A Main floor, former council chambers
Public Meeting – Tuesday, November 22, 2016
The purpose of the Public Meeting is to provide the opportunity for the public to make oral and written submissions to the City prior to the amendment being considered by the Council. The Public Meeting will be held as part of the regular scheduled Planning Committee meeting at 9:30 a.m. Ottawa City Hall, 2nd floor, Champlain Room, 110 Laurier Avenue West.
Summary of proposed changes
The Growth Projections will extend the timeframe of the Official Plan from 2031 to 2036. This change results in new projections for future population, households and employment, text changes to the plan, and an assessment of the supply and demand of land to meet anticipated housing demand. The changes proposed for Employment Lands include the conversion of excess urban employment lands to non-employment designations, the re-designation of Enterprise Areas, a new Rural Employment Area designation and amended policies and land use permissions.
It’s coming up to that time of year again – flu season. And your best shot, if you will, at preventing the flu is, you guessed it, the flu shot. The flu vaccine triggers your body to fight off the flu infection. As a result, you either do not get the flu or the symptoms are greatly reduced if you do get it. Different flu viruses happen each year which is why the flu vaccine is updated annually and why it is important to be immunized each fall. When a person receives a flu vaccine shot, it also helps prevent the flu spreading. Indeed, when more people get their flu vaccine, the odds of the flu virus spreading goes down. And you can get your flu vaccine shot for free at any one of a number of community flu vaccine clinics being held by Ottawa Public Health or at participating pharmacies or from a family doctor. Ottawa Public Health also offers free appointment-based clinics for children aged six months to under five years of age and their families. Children under five years of age have the highest rate of serious illness from the flu, making it even more important for them to receive the flu vaccine. Two of the community flu vaccine clinics are being held locally, one in Stittsville and one in Richmond. A flu clinic will be held by Ottawa Public
Health on Wednesday, Nov. 9 from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street at Shea Road in Stittsville. A flu clinic will also be held by Ottawa Public Health on Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at South Carleton High School on McBean Street in Richmond. The flu or seasonal influenza is a very contagious infection which affects the nose, throat and lungs. It is spread through droplets that have been coughed or sneezed by someone who has the flu. You can get the flu by shaking hands with someone who has the flu or by touching surfaces that have come into contact with flu droplets and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Flu symptoms include a sudden fever or feeling feverish as well as a cough and/or sore throat. A runny or stuffy nose can also be a symptom. A person with the flu may also feel more tired than usual and have a lower appetite than normal. Besides receiving a flu shot, other ways to help stop the spread of the flu is by washing your hands with soap and water or using a hand sanitizer; covering couches and sneezes with your arm, not your hand; avoiding crowds and public gatherings; and not visiting hospitalized patients if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms. The flu vaccine program is publicly funded so that flu shots are free of charge.
The Agricultural Land review results in changes to the Land Evaluation and Area Review (LEAR) system, recommends changes to the Agricultural Resource Area designation in some areas, and updates the terminology of the Official Plan to reflect the changes in the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement.

Erica wiebe - olympic champion
Naming ceremony for ‘Erica Wiebe Gymnasium’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Erica’s back in town next week. Olympic gold medal winning women’s freestyle wrestler Erica Wiebe will be back home in Stittsville where she will be honoured with the formal commemorative naming of the gymnasium at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium.” This commemorative naming of the gymnasium had been announced by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri at the Aug. 25 “welcome home” celebration for Erica which took place in that very gymnasium but since this “welcome home” event happened just one week after Erica’s gold medal victory at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Aug. 18, there had not been time to obtain formal Ottawa city council approval and arrange for a formal naming ceremony at that time. The commemorative naming has since been formally approved by city council and everything has been arranged for the formal naming ceremony which will happen on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC). Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and share this moment of honour with Erica and her family. After the Olympics and her return to Stittsville, Erica left for Calgary where she has been living and training since she graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville in June 2007. The Erica Wiebe Gymnasium at the GRC will serve as a constant reminder in the community of Erica’s Olympic achievement. The GRC is right beside Sacred Heart Catholic High School where Erica went to school and began her wrestling career and that the gymnasium at the GRC is like a second home to many youth in the community. Born on June 13,1989, Erica grew up in Stittsville dreaming of becoming a soccer star. She attended Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street, completing her education there in grade six in 2001 and then moving on to grade seven at Sacred Heart Catholic High School. At Sacred Heart Catholic High School, Erica tried a number of sports while continuing to
Olympic gold medallist Erica Wiebe
play high level soccer outside of school, competing two levels above her age category. She was that good! But then in grade nine, she noticed a sign for co-ed wrestling and she tried it out, becoming hooked on the sport. She competed in high school wrestling, going to the provincial championships, and also wrestled with the National Capital Wrestling Club. Following high school, it was decision time and Erica opted to attend the University of Calgary, pursuing a degree in kinesiology while also continuing her wrestling with the University of Calgary Dinos. This led to Erica being a three time Canadian Interuniversity Sport wrestling champion and a six time Canadian national champion. She became a member of the Team Canada wrestling team which trains in Calgary. This gave her the opportunity to train with Canada’s top wrestlers. She was the 2014 University World Champion and the 2014 Commonwealth Games Champion. In 2014 she also won gold medals in international competitions in Germany, Sweden and the United States. Erica believes in giving back to her sport community and that is why she has been involved with efforts to inspire young wrestlers and in particular young women wrestlers. She loves sharing her passion for the sport of wrestling with others. She regularly returns to her hometown of Stittsville to take part in wrestling clinics in the Ottawa area including at her hometown wrestling club, the National Capital Wrestling Club. She has returned to Sacred Heart Catholic High School on numerous occasions to take part in their physical education classes and give help to the high school wrestling team. She has been a guest coach at various wrestling camps in Canada and coached the Zone 5 – City of Calgary team to gold at the 2015 Alberta Winter Games. Erica has presented to over 8,000 students across Canada, delivering messages on the benefits of living a passionate life, setting goals and staying true to one’s own values. At the University of Calgary itself, Erica has been a leader on campus as a community advisor in residence and captain of the varsity wrestling team. She has been vice-chair of the Student Athletic Advisory Council and she has been on the board of directors for Wrestling Canada as the athlete representative. Receiving that award for leadership back in 2001 at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville certainly gave an early indication that Erica would be this leader in life. Erica earned her degree in kinesiology and then pursued a second degree which she received this past June. Erica was selected for the Canadian women’s wrestling team last December and then last March she qualified for the Olympics, winning gold in an Olympic qualifying event in Texas. This led up to her performance at the Olympics on Thursday, Aug. 18, winning four straight matches to win the gold medal in the women’s freestyle wrestling 75 kilogram class. This was the culmination of nine years of training in Calgary as she became the first Canadian Olympic wrestling champion since 2008 and winner of Canada’s 17th wrestling medal all time.

Poppy campaign honours Canada’s best
T
his week one of the most powerful symbols of collective memory and honouring sacrifice is once again starting to be on display across the country. That symbol is the poppy. Starting Oct. 28, poppies will be available to the public in the lead up to Remembrance Day Nov. 11. This year’s National Poppy Campaign was launched at a special event hosted by Gov. Gen. David Johnston on Oct. 19, in which the Gov. Gen. honoured Canadian veterans from past military campaigns. The public act of wearing a poppy at this time of year is a way for the nation to remember our shared collective history as a country that has never turned away when duty called, and that we, as a nation, will never forget the sacrifices of our veterans who have served in our military. And while Canadian military personnel have been active in recent years in such places as Afghanistan and the ongoing fight against the murderous thugs that call themselves ISIS, the number of veterans from such military campaigns of the past such as the First and Second World Wars and Korea are dwindling with the passage of time. The poppy honours those who have served in our
military and keeps alive forever the memory of the 117,000 Canadians who have given their lives for our ongoing freedom in conflicts around the globe. “With each poppy we remember someone who is no longer with us,” Johnston said at the poppy campaign’s launch. “It’s now our responsibility to pass on what we know to keep the memories alive.” Each year, approximately 18 million poppies are distributed across Canada, and Canadians wear them with pride, with heavy hearts, and with respect for those who have served and those who have died. The campaign, which was officially adopted in Canada in 1921 by the Great War Veterans’ Association (the predecessor of today’s Royal Canadian Legion), acts as a symbol of what this country is all about, which is why most Canadians, in one form or another, support the poppy campaign and wear a poppy on their lapels. It is not, and never should be, an empty fashion statement. It is a statement about what this country represents, which is why it is a unifying national campaign that everyone should stand on guard for. Let’s put on our poppies in the lead up to Remembrance Day, and then on Nov. 11 let’s all proudly stand together again.
Let your unconscious do the learning – sleep on it
I
’ve always been a big advocate of sleep. Any parent knows, however, that kids can go through strange periods of disrupted sleep, insomnia or even sleep without feeling well-rested. According to the Canadian Sleep Society (CSS), 40 per cent of kids don’t get enough sleep. Teenagers are especially susceptible to sleep deprivation, with 60 per cent of 12-17-year-olds citing daytime fatigue. Lack of sleep can affect children’s health and wellness. Kids who are tired are more likely to show up in emergency rooms, with fatigue cited as a primary trigger of playground accidents. Kids who don’t get enough sleep can have difficulty regulating weight and exhibit behavioural problems that mimic attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to CSS. As any parent or teacher
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse knows, the combination of these things can make it really difficult to keep kids on track with work, chores or even extracurricular activities. But sometimes, it seems, it’s hard to get kids to get the minimum nine hours per night of rest they need. In fact, the average night’s sleep for a Canadian child is 7.8 hours. There are some good strategies – limit sugar and caffeine, have a regular bedtime routine that helps trigger the kids to relaxation, maintain the bedtime on weekends, and limit light in the evening (including screens).
All of these things work well for adults as well. And, besides not being grumpy and distracted, I recently learned more about the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep. According to an article in the October issue of New Scientist, our unconscious mind needs us in a state of shuteye to regenerate and learn. In a 2014 study conducted by researchers at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, Sid Koulder and his research team had volunteers push a button with their left or right hand when they heard the name of an animal or object as they fell asleep. They then had the same subjects listen to words while they were sleeping, while monitoring their brain activity. “Even while asleep,” writes journalist Simon Makin in New Scientist, “activity continued in the brain’s motor regions, indicating that the sleep-

ers were preparing to push the correct button.” The researchers concluded that when the brain is in standby mode in the early hours of sleep, individuals can continue to analyse words and the meaning behind them. It makes me think of the cliché of listening to recordings of a foreign language while sleeping and becoming a master in Italian. In fact, 20 years ago I used this method to memorize 400 years of poetry for a university English exam and found my recall ability unmatched compared to anything I did in an awake state. In the New Scientist article, however, Makin notes that once the individual is in deep sleep, the brain goes into shutdown mode. But our unconscious mind can still work for us; it’s in this period of restorative sleep that our minds process the events of the day.

Squash CF Pumpkin Launch on Nov. 5 John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
What’s that soaring through the air? Is it a bird? Is it a meteorite? Is it a shooting star? Is it a unidentified flying object? No, it’s a pumpkin! What, you say, a pumpkin? Now we’ve heard everything! But yes, there will be pumpkins sailing through the air on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Richmond Nursery at the corner of Fallowfield Road and Old Richmond Road at Fallowfield. This will be the third annual Squash CF Pumpkin Launch event, a fundraising and awareness raising happening in support of the Ottawa Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Thousands of pumpkins as well as jack ‘o lanterns get launched at the event, with each one delivering a thrill not only to those who launch it but also to all those watching. There will be a number of launching devices on site again
this year including slingshots, a catapult and a trebuchet. And, like last year, there will be other attractions on site including live music, food vendors and kids games including some pumpkin-themed activities. This Squash CF Pumpkin Launch event makes for a great outing for the family, with lots of fun not only firing your own pumpkins through the air but also seeing others doing the same. The prices for launching pumpkins at this year’s event will be the same as last year, namely one pumpkin for five dollars or five pumpkins for $20. In addition, for every pumpkin purchased for firing, a jack ‘o lantern can be launched as well. Jack ‘o lanterns, which are hollowed out and thus weaker and lighter than a pumpkin, tend to explode upon landing which causes some excitement. Targets are set up for the pumpkin shooting. Cheers always go up whenever a target is struck. Indeed, sometimes
a pumpkin smashes right through the target. Those who hit a target with a launched pumpkin will have their name placed in a draw to win prizes. Trevor Jamieson, one of the organizers of this event, is excited that this year’s event will be bigger and better than last year. He said that the organizers are trying to grow the event each year, getting more and more people aware of it. He said that people have a lot of fun launching a pumping a few hundred feet at a target across a field. He said that it is something that seems to appeal to those of all ages – kids, teens, and adults from their 20’s to their 60’s. The pumpkins will fly rain or shine and everyone is welcome to attend. All of the proceeds from the event go directly to Cystic Fibrosis Canada to help “squash CF.” This event originated two years ago after the idea came from Nova Scotia where a similar event has been held for
a number of years. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys and intestine. There is no cure for cystic fibrosis. Lung transplantation
may be an option if lung function continues to worsen with the disease. The average life expectancy of those with cystic fibrosis is between 37 and 50 years of age in the developed world. Lung problems
are responsible for death in 80 percent of those with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis affects about one in every 3,000 newborns in Canada. It is most common among people of northern European ancestry.

Blasting associated with the new Stittsville South subdivisions south of Hartsmere Drive and Fernbank Road between Stittsville Main Street and Shea Road has caused concern among adjacent homeowners who are hearing the blasting and feeling the resulting vibrations. Indeed, some homeowners are reporting damage to their homes as a result of the blasting. Other concerns have included lack of notification of the blasting and the lack of pre-blasting signals as required. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, when notified of these concerns, took action. The developer was instructed to circulate a notice about the blasting to houses within 75 metres of the site. In addition, councillor Qadri alerted city of Ottawa staff of the situation and city staff ensured that the contractor was using audio signals. The Ontario Ministry of Labour was also notified to ensure that the blasting site was being operated safely. The city of Ottawa regulates blasting such as this through its construction specifications which require a pre-blast survey of all structures within 75 metres of the site as well as the requirement for a third party blasting consultant to monitor the blasts to make sure that any resulting vibrations are in compliance with requirements. Residents who have experienced damage to their homes as a result of this blasting are being advised to direct their concerns to the Development Inspection Group at city hall. These concerns will then be passed on to the blasting consultant to investigate. Residents can also contact the blasting contractor directly if they wish, namely Normac Drillers with the firm’s contact person Tim Gervais available at 613-880-6537. In addition, residents who have experienced damage to their homes are encour-
aged to send an email including photos and a description of the damage to Kevin Lamer, Program Manager, Development Inspection for the city of Ottawa at Kevin.Lamer@ottawa.ca. A legal claim about the damage can also be made to the city. Cavanagh Construction, acting for the developers of the Stittsville South subdivision area, will be blasting for the subdivision itself and also for the Shea Road pump station that is part of the infrastructure needed for the subdivision. Blasting for the Stittsville South Subdivision is expected to continue for about three weeks. Blasting for the Shea Road pumping station is expected to happen from Nov. 14 until Christmas. All blast vibrations are to be monitored with seismographs that are located at the nearest home closest to the blast area. So far, all monitoring readings of these vibrations have been well below the allowable limits as per the city’s specifications. While homes adjacent to this Stittsville South subdivision area are concerned about the blasting and its effects, they are also faced with the loss of trees on the subdivision site. The city has granted a permit for the removal of trees on the subdivision site, specifically on the proposed subdivision site on the south side of Fernbank Road with frontage on Shea Road to the east. The density of the housing units in the subdivision (approximately 730 units) and the demands for grading the site have made it impossible to retain any existing trees on the site. This includes trees along the western property line adjacent to existing homes on Shining Star Circle and Friendly Crescent due to a linear swale to be located there to channel storm water on the site. Tartan Homes, the developer, will be planting about 800 trees on the site as it is developed.
A free community flu clinic by Ottawa Public Health is being held on Wednesday, Nov. 9 from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street at the corner of Shea Road in Stittsville.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
October 27, 2016
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Blasting Update Dear residents, as we all know, Stittsville is a growing community. Unfortunately some residents know all too well the growing pains residents experience during development. One of the biggest issues during construction is blasting required for new home construction. Recently, concerns were raised by residents in the south end of Stittsville regarding the blasting that has resumed in preparation of the Stittsville South subdivision. When the blasting began, the contractor did not feel it was necessary to provide residents notice of the work this time around as was done in the spring. I felt this was unacceptable and had my office contact the developer to have another notice provided which was delivered to houses within 75 meters of the site which was completed earlier last week.

Throughout the community there are many areas that have experienced blasting for housing construction. However, during these past weeks, residents near the Stittsville South development expressed an increased concern due to the intensity and large vibrations felt within the community. Another concern raised by residents was that pre-blasting signals were not done as required before a blast. Given the concern for public safety and following some of the information I was receiving from the public, I ensured City staff in Development Review Services Branch was made aware. Staff was put in contact with the contractors and they noted that all audio signals are mandatory and that they are being used effectively. These concerns were also brought to the attention of the Ministry of Labour to ensure the developer and the sub-contractors are providing a safe blasting site. As it relates to process, the City regulates blasting through the Construction Specifications which speak to the pre-blast survey requirements (all structures within 75m) and the requirement for a third party blasting consultant to monitor the blasts to make sure the peak vibrations are in compliance. The City also reviewed the vibration results for the recent blasts and they are compliant with City Specifications for such work. I do have concerns with the 75 meter requirement as I do not feel this covers a great enough area and will be reviewing this requirement further. I have also heard from some residents who have experienced damage to their homes as a result of the blasting. I am very concerned to hear of this damage and strongly encourage residents to please ensure this is reported. I have been advised that all concerns should be directed to the Development Inspection Group at the City and they will direct the concern to the Blasting Consultant to investigate. Alternatively, residents may contact the contractor directly undertaking the blasting, Noremac Drillers by phoning their contact, Tim Gervais, at 613-880-6537. I think it is important that these concerns are sent to the City and I would encourage anyone who is concerned with damage to their property to send an email including photos a description of the damage to Kevin Lamer, Program Manager, Development Inspection at Kevin.Lamer@ottawa.ca with CC to me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. Residents also have the option to submit a legal claim into the City if they are not pleased with the response from City staff or the Blasting Monitoring Company. More information can be found on the claims page at Ottawa.ca. I understand that this is work is concerning for residents in the area and I will continue to update you as I receive further information. I have also requested a schedule for the blasting within the area and will share this when it is provided to my office. Stittsville South Development Update Earlier this year, home purchasers in the Stittsville South development were advised of delays in home construction in this development. The City’s Development Review Branch has advised that based on the most recent discussions, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change is about to provide the approval Certificate for the Stittsville South development servicing. Once delivered, servicing works will begin including servicing and construction works associated with the Area 6 new Sanitary Pump Station. City staff was advised that if the works follow the schedule, it would be anticipated that builders may be in a position to start applying for building permits in the first quarter of 2017. It is to be anticipated that preparation works relating to underground servicing will involve additional blasting however once the works associated with the underground servicing has been completed, so should the blasting operations. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.
Stittsville News - Thursday, October 27, 2016 11
What’s up, doc, in village of Stittsville? In recent weeks, I have spoken at length about the stormwatercharge that was approved by the Environment Committee last week. It has been a difficult issue to deal with for everyone impacted. I predicted as much in May 2015 when the item first came to our attention and again when the public consultation kicked off in March of this year. My main focus the entire time has been the facts. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of misinformation out there on this subject. If you still have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact me. We also have information available on our Rideau-Goulbourn website that provides all of the background. For that, you can visit www.rideaugoulbourn.ca/stormwater. There are, however, just a few points that I want to reiterate as they keep coming up in emails that I have been receiving and comments on various radio shows and whatnot. First, this has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you flush your toilet into a sewer system or a septic system. Stormwater is completely unrelated from sewerage services. They were in separate budgets prior to amalgamation and that never should have changed. As I mentioned last week, Council made that decision to put them together in 2001 and it was the wrong one. I have also heard comments that this is a “tax grab” to increase revenues for the City. I completely understand that point because, for many of us in the rural area, we will begin to pay an extra charge on our tax bill. However, as I have also mentioned previously, those who are already paying for stormwater on their sewer bill will see a modest reduction in their bill. Therefore, these two changes will offset each other. The City spends approximately $42M city-wide on stormwater maintenance and that budget will remain at that number. With the two offsetting numbers, there will be no increase in revenues as a result of the stormwater charge. The final clarification I wanted to make is in response to comments that the revenue from this charge will just go toward urban projects that will not benefit the rural area. It will not. As mentioned above, the amount collected is just being shifted from water and sewer ratepayers to taxpayers. All fees collected in the rural area will go toward maintenance in the rural area. In fact, the City spends $8M annually in the rural area and the new fee will collect $2M. None of your stormwater taxes will service anyone but rural residents. I hope this helps provide further clarity. As always, I am available to chat about this further. We also spend time at each of our town hall meetings discussing this very issue. Our Ashton meeting, at the Christ Church, is on November 1st and our Rural Stittsville meeting, at the Goulbourn Town Hall, is on November 7th. Both meetings begin at 7:00pm. Please Note: The November 3rd meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee has been cancelled. The next meeting of ARAC will take place on Thursday, November 24th. 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.

Ken claims that there has been a tendency to exaggerate the death numbers of the Irish. He says that the total number of deaths among all workers (Irish, Scottish, French Canadians and others) during the construction of the canal was from 500 to 1,000 deaths. He notes that there were just seven accidental deaths in 1827. This fact is known because there had to be an inquest held for every accidental death which occurred during the building of the canal as this was a law in Upper Canada at the time…..Dave’s Auto Detailing and Auto Mechanics shop has opened on Carp Road between Hazeldean Road and highway 417….The Stittsville District Lions Club has assembled over 900 pairs of eye glasses for donation to the Kemptville Lions Club which collects such used eye glasses to take them on their service trips to Guyana where the Club holds eye care clinics and provides the glasses as needed.

In a word, Saunders Farm in Munster is ‘amazing’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
“Amazing.” If there were a “word of the day” at the breakfast meeting of the West Ottawa Board of Trade at the Canadian Golf and Country Club on Oct. 18, it would undoubtedly have been “amazing.” This was a word which guest speaker Angela Grant Saunders of Munster’s Saunders Farm used again and again in her presentation at the breakfast and indeed was the word used by West Ottawa Board of Trade executive director Sueling Ching when she thanked Angela for her presentation, calling her “amazing” as Saunders Farm is not only a successful business but also serves as an ambassador of agriculture and tourism as well as business. In her presentation, Angela, who gives her title as Director of Beauty and Flavour at Saunders Farm while her husband Mark carries the title Director of Fun, told how Saunders Farm grew from being a small pick-your-own strawberries 100 acre farm farm 40 years ago to being an agri-tourism business that attracted its one millionith visitor last year. She told how Anne and Bill Saunders, Mark’s parents, established Saunders Farm as a pick-your-own berry farm in 1976, demonstrating both hard work and a commitment which Angela termed amazing. But this was only the beginning of her “amazing” story.
The pick-your-own berry industry started to die in the 1980’s due to an aging customer base, the importation of berries from elsewhere and less canning and preserving of berries. Bill Saunders then had to figure out how to keep people coming to the farm. At a berry convention in Chicago, he learned about a haunted hayride attraction. He returned home and after convincing his wife Anne of the wisdom of the idea, Saunders Farm launched a haunted hayride of its own 25 years ago. A haunted house was added and eventually Mark returned home to be involved in running the farm, meeting and marrying Angela. Their three high school-aged children are now involved with the farm as well. And Angela then pulled out the “word of the day,” saying that “amazing” describes what happens at Saunders Farm and why the Saunders family and their staff do what they do. She noted that Saunders Farm has the largest collection of hedge mazes in North America, which could qualify as something “amazing.” She said that activities at Saunders Farm now run the gamut from weddings to the craziness of Halloween. “Our vision is to be the most amazing family farm in the world,” Angela said, saying that originally it had been thought to say “in the galaxy” but the vision was subsequently toned down to “in the world.” Fun, excellence, team work, respect and friendliness are among the key values surrounding Saunders Farm, Angela said. This fall Saunders Farm is employing 260
She said that the feedback which is received from customers always refers to the presence of such a welcoming and engaging staff team at the Farm.
staff, the most ever, since a new section was added this year to the Farm’s Halloween attractions. She said that about 60 percent of the staff are youth and for about half of these, this is a first job.

Saunders Farm is all about creating memories
John Curry/Metroland
Angela Grant Saunders (right) of Saunders Farm at Munster, who was guest speaker at the breakfast meeting of the West Ottawa Board of Trade on Oct. 18, chats with Mark Seabrook (left) of the Canadian Golf and Country Club where the meeting was held.
Angela said that staff are always being reminded that the smallest things sometimes make the biggest impact. She said that it is the “Saunders Way” for staff to say “Thank you” when appropriate and to ask “How may I help you” when needed. She said that while the young people who work at Saunders Farm are amazing (there’s that word again), she noted that engaging with a customer is something that is new to them. Learning how to introduce themselves to a customer is a new skill that they develop at Saunders Farm, she noted. Angela showed a short video of Brady Sterling, a youth who she called an “amazing team member” who runs the ice cream shop at Saunders Farm. He always has a smile on his face and whatever task he does, he makes it an amazing encounter, she added. Angela noted the presence at Saunders Farm of what she called an amazing wall above the staff time clock where at the end of a shift, a staff member can stick up a note praising another staff team member. Angela said that those working at Saunders Farm get a pay cheque but what they really get is amazing memories. She said that really Saunders Farm is about creating amazing memories for people to help make their lives just a little bit
better. “What a gift to be able to do this,” she said. She said that Saunders Farm tries to be multi-generational, offering fun for those of all ages. She noted that agri-tourism like Saunders Farm is a new industry that allows family farms
to stay in the family. She said that at Saunders Farm business has grown every year. She said that Saunders Farm feels blessed to have been able to be pioneers in this agri-tourism industry, noting that she and her husband Mark speak all over North America and Europe about the industry.

Tag-team guest speaking at Lions charter dinner John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It was not your typical after dinner speech. Lawyer Mark Arbique was the guest speaker of record at the 52nd annual charter anniversary dinner of the Stittsville District Lions Club on Oct. 22 but he did not present alone. He was assisted by Lions Club member Darryl Metzger as they took a tag-team type of approach to the presentation. Darryl would set the scene, as it were, presenting a scenario involving estate planning to which Mark then responded, explaining the legal situation that would exist in such a scenario. For instance, Darryl presented a situation in which a person has just sold a home in Stittsville and has moved to Vancouver, leaving the province. Does the person need to update a will when moving to another province as in this case? Once Darryl had set the stage, it was then up to Mark to explain any legal ramifications arising from the fictional circumstances. In the case of a person moving out of province, Mark explained that a will made in Ontario is valid virtually everywhere. However, he did offer the proviso that if the person was going to make changes to the will, then they should be done in BC. In addition, Quebec is a different circumstance and if the move had been made to Quebec, Mark suggested that a will should be re-done there since Quebec has a different approach to things since wills in Quebec do not go through probate which is a process to prove that the will is valid. And while a will made in Ontario can cover property in the United States, Mark suggested that a person should consider having a separate U.S. will dealing with that U.S. property. He explained that while an Ontario will can apply in such a circumstance, the property in the U.S. then has to go through a legal procedure that he suggested is often SAVING ENEGY! In homes, up to 25 percent of our electric bill is for lighting. Over the life of the bulbs, CFLs cost the average consumer less than half the cost of traditional incandescent bulbs for the same amount of light.
more expensive than simply having a separate will that is drawn up in the U.S. and deals with that U.S. property. Other scenarios presented by Darryl and Mark in their joint question-and-answer format included situations involving a second marriage, involving an executor of a will who lives in California, involving the naming of beneficiaries for RSP’s and TFSA’s which keeps them out of the estate and involving the need for a will at all. Mark said that often in situations where everything is owned jointly by a husband and wife and everything goes to the surviving spouse, there probably is no need for a will. However, he said that the benefit of a will is that a will allows a person to tailor the disposition of an estate to its circumstances. “The thing about a will, it tailors your estate,” he said, explaining that there may be a situation in which a person wants to give more to one child than another for any number of reasons. Having a will allows this to be done. In Ontario, Mark said, a person does not have to leave anything to anybody and can exclude people from the will except if the person is a dependent child. Mark did suggest that if a will deals unequally with children, it is usually best to let them know that instead of having them find out after the death when the person is not around to explain why it was done that way. Darryl, who is a financial planner who deals with estate planning, said that statistics show that 60 percent of people who should have a will do not have one. Mark explained that an executor of an estate typically receives up to
five percent of the value of the estate but that these fees are taxable. He said that one strategy that is used by some is to leave the executor money in the will in lieu of any compensation for being the executor. The funds in the will are tax free so that this strategy can be beneficial in getting more money into the hands of the executor than is possible when fees are paid and taxed. Lawyer Mark Arbique and Darryl Metzger have offices beside each other at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main

Halloween atmosphere at Stittsville Barber Shop John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Walk through the front door at the Stittsville Barber Shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and you walk into Halloween. Yes, that’s right – right inside the door you are greeted by a life-size Halloween-themed mannequin that has a black bird on its shoulder with both of them talking when activated by motion. Also, right inside the door, there’s a whole table full of treats and goodies for youngsters to enjoy on their visit to the barber shop. This includes such treats as lollipops, all of which are peanut free. And while the Stittsville Barber Shop is right into the spirit of Halloween, it also has more on the go besides being busy, busy with haircuts. A kids’ lounge is being developed at the barber shop where kids and also parents can go when waiting for a haircut. Already there is a pool table and there’s going to be a futsal game coming soon. The lounge will have comfortable seating and will have a refrigerator filled with drinks for kids. The Stittsville Barber Shop has sponsored six local hockey teams this season and it will be decorating the walls of the kids’ lounge with team jerseys from these sponsored
teams. One wall of the lounge will be filled with these hockey jerseys while another wall will be filled in the same way but with jerseys of minor soccer teams. The lounge will also be getting a TV for the enjoyment of both kids and their parents. The Stittsville Barber Shop, which has only been open for a few months, is trying to support the community in whatever way it can. At the 9RunRun emergency services run in Stittsville on Oct. 15, which saw runners pass along Stittsville Main Street right in front of the Stittsville Barber Shop, free bottles of water were made available to the runners. The Stittsville Barber Shop also donated ten free haircuts which were given away at the Sept. 10 fundraiser which Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre held at Saunders Farm at Munster in support of the Fair Shot Program of the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa to help cover costs for vulnerable kids to play sports. The Stittsville Barber Shop is continuing this community involvement and support by offering free haircuts for all active military personnel and also veterans from Nov. 1 to Nov. 10. This is being done as a way of thanking Canada’s military personnel and veterans for their contributions to Canadian life and society.

Free haircuts for military, veterans John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Calling all military personnel and veterans! The Heads Up Barber Shop at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street is offering free haircuts to all military personnel and veterans in the period from Tuesday, Nov. 1 to Friday, Nov. 11 which is Remembrance Day. The shop is offering these free
haircuts as a way of honouring and thanking those who are serving in the military today or who have served in the military in the past, including in wartime. This service has ensured that Canada has been able to remain a free and democratic country. This offer of free haircuts for military personnel and veterans in the days leading up to Remembrance Day has become a tradition at the Heads Up Barber Shop.
Lois ‘n Frima’s ice cream parlour is the place to be in Stittsville on Monday, Oct. 31, Halloween. That’s when Lois ‘n Frima’s will be offering free hard ice cream cones to anyone who drops by. Yes, that’s right – free ice cream cones. The ice cream giveaway will run from 12 noon to 8 p.m. at the ice cream parlour at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street. There will also be some soft serve ice cream available as long as quantities last. Lois ‘n Frima’s holds what has now become this free ice cream giveaway day to get rid of all of its remaining ice cream as it is closing down for the winter. It is also Lois ‘n Frima’s way of saying “thank you” to customers for a successful ice cream season this year. The Lois ‘n Frima’s ice cream parlour in the Byward Market in downtown Ottawa has already closed for the winter, shutting down on Oct. 15. Any remaining ice cream from the Ottawa location has been moved to the Stittsville location to be given away on Monday, Oct. 31. “There’s quite a bit” of ice cream to be given away, Frima Olszynko of Lois ‘n Frima’s ice cream says, meaning that there is going to be some choice for customers on this free ice cream giveaway day. Hopefully all of the ice cream will be given away that day, so that the ice cream freezers can be shut down and mothballed until the shop re-opens in the spring. If it does not all go on Oct. 31, the remaining ice cream will be given away while it lasts through the offer of a free ice cream cone with every haircut at the adjacent Heads Up Barber Shop which is operated by Lois’
husband Frank Olszynko. This year has been quite a year for Lois ‘n Frima’s ice cream. The hot, warm summer made for ideal ice cream conditions, keeping both locations (Stittsville and the Byward Market) busy. But in addition this year Lois ‘n Frima’s began selling ice cream at the home games of the Ottawa Champions professional ball team. This proved very successful, not only because of the warm weather but also because fans recognized the Lois ‘n Frima’s brand and heavily patronized the ice cream stand at the ball park.

Melba Gallivan joins ‘special club’ as she turns 100 John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Melba Gallivan of Stittsville is now a member of a “very special club.” This membership in the club of Canadians who are 100 years old was referred to by her son Gerald as he praised his mother at a recent party celebrating her 100th birthday which happened on Oct. 13. Gerald noted that there are less than 6,000 Canadians who are in this “club.” A champagne toast was held in Melba’s honour by those at the celebration which was held in the reception room at the Granite Ridge Care Community on Abbott Street in Stittsville. Melba, a long time Stittsville resident who now resides at the Granite Ridge Care Community, received birthday greetings from Queen Elizabeth and birthday blessings from Pope Francis. In addition, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who was present at the celebration presented Melba with a certificate marking the occasion of her 100th birthday. He also presented her with a table top book about the city of Ottawa from mayor Jim Watson who had autographed it.
Councillor Qadri noted that this 100th birthday celebration was a “great auspicious occasion,” congratulating Melba on her 100th birthday and wishing her all the best. Members of Melba’s family including her grandchildren were present at the celebration along with friends such as her long time Amberwood friend Brenda Davidson. Many brought cards of congratulations to the celebration while the reception room featured a balloon with “100” on it. There was a book of congratulations to sign as well. There was an expansive “cupcake cake” on display, complete with the message “Happy 100th Birthday, Grammie.” A photo montage was on display for viewing, showing Melba in numerous photographs taken throughout the years. “Thank you everyone so much,” Melba said simply in her formal remarks at the event as she responded to all of the good wishes and congratulations which she was receiving at this afternoon celebration. Melba was born Margaret Melba Watson on Friday, Oct. 13, 1916 in Ottawa, one of four siblings which included not only herself but Orville, Dorothy and Joan. She attended St.
Melba Gallivan Mary’s School and then Immaculata High School, followed by business college. She married the late James (Seamus) Patrick Gallivan on June 26, 1943 and they had two children, Gerald and Peggy. They moved to Montreal in 1946 but then returned to Ottawa in 1983, living in Amberwood. In Montreal, Melba worked for an urologist and then worked at Zellers head office, rising to become executive secretary to the president. She then managed the Montreal office of Nardin Canada. A Catholic, she attended daily mass and developed a great devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. She coordinated bazaars and fundraisers.
She calls her faith the “most important thing in life.” Important as well for her was her family growing up which she said had lots of fun as both her mother and father were what she describes as “jokers. She recalls family dinners in her youth in which the whole family would be there around the dinner table. She continued this jovial joking atmosphere with her own family as her own children were growing up. “That was the way we lived, laughing,” she said, revealing the sense of humour for which she is known. And her daughter Peggy agrees. “We did a lot of laughing in our house,” she says about her years growing up. Melba is a lifelong knitter and can sew anything and indeed made all of the clothes for her family. She learned how to sew from her mother who was also a prolific in sewing. “Boy, did I ever love it,” she says about learning how to sew, finding that it gave her great joy in making something that she could wear. And since she herself made it, it was always an original outfit. She is an avid bridge player, having belonged at one time to the same bridge club for 20 years. She has been
exclusive
an artist, using watercolours as a youth and then oils as an adult. She has also produced numerous ceramics over the years. She plays the banjo and organ for pleasure and recalls step dancing with her father. Melba nursed her husband for 25 years and suffered vision loss when she was 80 years old, having to give up driving. She has been battling Alzheimer’s for the past few years. She claims that she was named Melba by her mother because she liked the Australian opera singer Nellie Melba who was one of the most famous singers of the early 20th century. The singer was named Melba after her hometown of Melbourne in Australia. Melba says that she is happy these days, that she hopes that everyone else is happy as well and that she does not feel 100 years old. She notes that not many people get to be 100 years of age and certainly not many who are named Melba. She has no explanation as to why she has reached 100 years of age. “We just lived,” she says.
When asked for any “words of wisdom” for others, she simply urges being faithful to your religion and your family. “And that’s all there is,” she says.

How My Office Can Help You
Joe Lewis, Ray McCaffrey and Albert Black are three people prominent in the pages of Stittsville’s history. And now it has been proposed to name city of Ottawa parks in the community after each of them. The city of Ottawa’s Commemorative Naming Committee is now conducting online public consultations about naming parks in the community after Joe Lewis, Ray McCaffrey and Albert Black. In addition, the Commemorative Naming Committee is seeking input on changing the name of the Bell Memorial Park in Stittsville to the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. The deadline for submitted online comments about these proposals is Dec. 18, 2016. The proposed Joe Lewis Park would be located in the new Potter’s Key subdivision north of Hazeldean Road and west of the existing Jackson Trails subdivision. It is proposed to honour Joe Lewis in this way in recognition of his historical significance in Stittsville in the early part of the 20th century. Moving to Stittsville in 1906, Joe Lewis eventually opened his own grocery, flour and feed business on Stittsville Main Street. In 1911, he purchased another store on Stittsville Main Street which sold a variety of goods from footwear to hats to shingles and coal. He established the first hand-pumped
gasoline service in Stittsville and created the community’s first “taxi” service in the area by offering horse and buggy transportation for train passengers. The proposed Ray McCaffrey Park would be located in at 170 Hickstead Way in the new residential development on the east side of Stittsville Main Street and south of Hartsmere Drive at the south edge of Stittsville. Ray McCaffrey was a long time businessman in Stittsville, involved with the McCaffrey automobile garage and General Motors dealership which had been started by his father George McCaffrey. He also served as the fire chief in the community from 1959 to 1967. Ray was active in the community and was involved in helping to build the former Stittsville District Community Centre (arena) which is now called the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. The proposed Albert Argue Black Park would be located at 735 Rosehill Avenue in the Kanata West area of Stittsville. The original Black family home on what is now Huntmar Drive was settled in the early 1800’s. Albert “Ab” Black coached baseball and hockey in the community, served on the committee to build the Stittsville District Community Centre (now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena) and served as president of the Stittsville Town Hockey League. In addition, he was elected as a councillor on Stittsville’s inaugural village council

when Stittsville became an incorporated municipality in 1961. He then became reeve of Stittsville when the first reeve Silas C. Bradley retired. He remained as reeve until the village of Stittsville was amalgamated with the village of Richmond and rural Goulbourn township in 1974 to form the new township of Goulbourn which in 2001 became part of the current city of Ottawa. Ab served on the boards of the Carleton Place Hospital as well as the Carleton Apartments in Stittsville. It is also being proposed that Bell Memorial Park which is flanked by Stittsville Main Street, Fernbank Road and Cherry Drive in Stittsville be renamed as “W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park.” This land was donated for park use by W.J. Bell, a Stittsville businessman and developer. While not a Rotarian himself, his daughterin-law Grace Bell is a charter member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville which has developed a Peace Park with a labyrinth at the park. It is the Bell family and the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville which has proposed the park’s name change in order to reflect the objectives of encouraging and fostering peace. The proposed name “W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park” reflects the aims of the Peace Park while continuing to commemorate W.J. Bell and his contributions to the community.

Flood of opposition to stormwater fee Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Rural homeowners flooded the city’s environment committee meeting to try and halt a proposed stormwater fee on Oct. 18. The fee – part of the city’s new rate structure for water and sewer bills – would be charged to every homeowner. Rural residents on well and septic would pay significantly less than urban residents and it would be phased in over five years. Despite that, several residents called for the fee to be a part of the road tax, similar to the way it was before the city amalgamated. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who defended the new rate structure, despite calls from several of his residents to vote against it, said that it was irresponsible to continue along the present path. Water rates have steadily increased since 2011 – by as much as seven per cent more in some years. “Basically if you use less, than we just charge you more for it,” Moffatt said, calling the practice irresponsible. “People didn’t elect me to get re-elected, they elected me to do a job,” Moffatt said. Right now the only residents paying into the city’s $42-million stormwater mitigation program are the ones paying water and sewer bills. Under the proposed plan, rural residents would be on tap for approximately $2 million of those expenses. Following the unanimous approval by committee, the plans are one step further to becoming reality. Only the approval of city council is required now. Several residents called for the fee to be part of the road tax. “Let’s call it what it is,” Ken Holmes said. But Moffatt said you can’t fit a square peg in a round hole. “Shifting the whole envelope ($42 million)
on to the road tax would be a significantly higher increase,” he said. West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said he wanted to know where the money for road maintenance would come from if the city starting dipping into the road tax to pay for stormwater mitigation. Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village Community Association, was one of the few residents to speak in favour of the plan. “As a starting point for a new rate structure, you’ve done a great job,” he told city staff. “This has been a rough ride for a lot of people.” On the flip side, Shirley Dolan, with the Carleton Landowners Association, said that the issue shouldn’t even be before the environment committee. “In rural Ottawa, it’s not an environment issue, it’s a road issue,” she said. Former councillor Glenn Brooks found himself on the hot seat after criticizing the plan. Brooks said the city has a spending problem. His successor, Moffatt, asked him to defend a 2001 council vote to put stormwater services on the water and sewer rate budget, rather than the property tax budget. “We make the best decisions we can based on the information we have at the time,” Brooks said. Brooks, who said his property has no ditches, suggested the city give him a refund for its water running onto his land. Another sticking point of the plan is that low volume users would pay a little more for their water because a portion would now be a fixed rate. “It’s Ottawa’s version of trickle down economics,” resident Don Fugler said. “It’s one of the few remaining utility bills left that you can understand.” The changes are a little different from the original rate structure proposal, which went out to public consultation last spring.

Former city staffer seeking nomination Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
South Carleton High School graduate Jay Tysick, former chief of staff for College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, is throwing his hat into the electoral ring at the provincial level. Tysick, who grew up in the newly riding of Carleton, has entered into the Conservative party nomination race for that riding. The new Carleton riding stretches along the southern edge of the city of Ottawa from Stittsville and Richmond in the west to Riverside South and Metcalfe in the east. It mirrors the federal riding of Carleton now represented by MP Pierre Poilievre. Tysick has the backing of former Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who was at first a candidate himself until withdrawing over what he said was internal party politics. “It’s kind of something I want to stay out of, but I think he would do a great job,” Thompson said of Tysick as a candidate for the Tory nomination in the riding. The nomination meeting is expected to be held in November. Tysick lives in the community of Valley Stream, in Nepean, near the Queensway Carleton Hospital, but he has a good handle on the issues of Carleton riding residents having grown up there. Aside from his work with Chiarelli, Tysick has served on the executive of the local community association for several years and is no stranger to advocacy work. He currently works as a lobbyist and com-
munications consultant for Faraday Partners, where he’s a managing partner. Tysick was working on Thompson’s campaign before he pulled out of the race. “I believe Doug would have been the best,” Tysick said. Now Thompson has agreed to make the rounds with Tysick and talk to residents. Lawyer Goldie Ghamari is one of the other contenders for the nomination, along with Brandon Purcell, who works as a Conservative aide on Parliament Hill. Neither of those two candidates are local, argues Tysick. “Traditionally the area has had really good representation,” Tysick said. “I want someone who’s going to fight for the riding and they’re not from the area.” As the clock ticks down, with only days to go, Tysick is doing all he can to get out there and drum up memberships. Under normal circumstances, the party wouldn’t be allowed to host the nomination before the beginning of 2017, but because the Carleton riding is new, the local executive was allowed to select an earlier date. Tysick said he plans to run a grassroots campaign and get out and talk to as many people as he can before the deadline hits. If he’s selected as the candidate, Tysick said he wants to work on garnering support from younger voters. “I think for too long we have been focused on negative politics,” he said. “People want to hear our ideas about what we are going to do to make the province better.”

Annual general meeting for Lawn Bowling Club John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
They’re back! Three members of the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club whose terms had expired were all re-elected unopposed at the Club’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Ross Williamson is continuing as president while Anne Marie Waddell will remain as the secretary and Greta Sault will continue as treasurer. However, there is one new face on the Club’s Board as Virginia Cunningham volunteered for a one-year term as a Director at Large, completing the term of Wayne Harding who is leaving the Board as he is becoming chair of District 16. He has served as the District’s vice-chair this past year. Another recent new addition to the Board is Michael Clarke who joined the Board this past summer. He will be taking over as the Club’s director of tournaments, a role which Wayne Harding has been performing. At this annual general meeting, an increase in membership fees for the 2017 season was announced. The annual membership fee has been $135 for years but now is going up to $150. This increase is necessary as the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association receives a portion of the local membership fees and its portion has been increasing over the years as it is now $31 per member. This
means that the local club has been receiving only $104 of each local membership fee. The $15 increase to $150 will help cover at least almost half of the Ontario portion of the membership fee. It was pointed out at the meeting that at $135 the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s membership fee was the lowest in the District. At $150, the fee will be equivalent to the fees paid at other lawn bowling clubs in the District. In his remarks at the annual general meet-
ing, Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club president Ross Williamson noted that the Club had experienced a healthy membership and a good regular attendance by members in the past season. He said that the past season had been a challenging year for the Club with regard to the lawn bowling green itself, with the heat, with watering problems and with areas of the green burning out. It was pointed out at the meeting that in the last 12 months, the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club has invested $104,000 in its facility at the
Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners. This has included an expansion of the green to make it a regulation size, replacing of the boards around the green and the addition of 20,000 tonnes of special sand to complete the expansion and to level the green. This work is just now being completed. Funding for all of this work has come from grants including from the city of Ottawa’s Major Capital Improvements program and the city’s Minor Capital Improvements program as well as from the Club’s own funds. The Club’s funds come from a silent auction which is held at the annual general meeting, from the hosting of sponsored tournaments involving players from other clubs in the area and from membership fees. A financial statement presented at the annual general meeting showed that the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club began the past season with $13,853.75 in the bank and had ended the season with $16,246.24. Club president Ross Williamson ,pointed out that the Club should maintain a cash balance of at least $10,000 in order to handle any situations which might arise. He noted that the Club’s equipment is aging and its tent at the green is showing signs of wear. The Club has to be in a financial position to John Curry/Metroland maintain what it has, he said. Elected at the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s annual general meeting are (from left), This annual general meeting, which was Board member Virginia Cunningham, president Ross Williamson, secretary Anne Marie held at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Waddell and treasurer Greta Sault.

What constitutes “common law” as most people use the term is highly dependent on circumstances. In terms of the ownership of assets, a common law spouse has no right to the assets of the other party – the starting point at law is that each party keeps assets in their own name, and jointly titled assets are divided evenly.

In terms of spousal support, a common law partner only has the potential entitlement to spousal support after three years of continuous cohabitation, or if there is a relationship of permanence and you have a child together. The amount of spousal support payable, if any, will depend on several factors, However, a party who is not the registered owner such as the income, assets, health and financial of an asset may claim an interest in the property independence of each party.

And when that elite athlete is a graduate of the French Catholic school board and indeed was taught at Ecole Franco Ouest in Bells Corners by a number of teachers who are now at the new Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais including principal Veronique Pourbaix-Kent. Wow! This is what happened at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais on Wednesday, Oct. 19 when hurdler Tania Bambi, who is now training towards competing at the 2020 Olympic Games, visited the school and spoke to an assembly of the total student body at the school. Indeed, it was the first time since opening in this facility last February that the school had held an assembly of

all of the students in the school’s gymnasium. At the assembly, Tania, wearing a red Canada jacket and a red hat, was introduced by principal Pourbaix-Kent, after which a video was presented showing her on the track. Tania then delivered her message to the students, after which she and principal PourbaixKent sat in chairs on the stage, engaging in a verbal exchange as the assembled students listened. Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais teacher Eric Brassard, who is the chief organizer for the “La Course des Patriotes” run this coming Saturday, Oct. 29 at the school, then made a pitch to the students for participating in the race. Students of the French Catholic School Board can participate for free while others of all ages in the community are most welcome to compete for only a $10 entrance fee. Runners are also being asked to donate a food item to the Stittsville Food Bank which will then redistribute the items to other food banks located in the Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais catchment area. At the conclusion of the assembly, Tania stayed around and posed for photographs with various students and groups of students. Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais principal Pourbaix-Kent first came to know Tania Bambi when she was a grade seven student at Ecole Franco Ouest, noticing her speed and her sunny disposition. When she moved on to high school there, Tania was provided with opportunities in track. She even won medals in hurdles at the provincial high school championships. Tania then went on to attend the University of Ottawa but for two years had to give up track due to her JOHN CURRY/METROLAND university studies but more importantly because she had no sponsors and hence no funding to allow her to Canadian hurdler Tania Bambi (left), who is aiming to compete in the 2020 Olympics, is with Veronique Pourbaix-Kent (right), principal of travel to and compete in track competitions.

Tania Bambi sees hurdles as a ‘reflection of life’ Continued from page 39
But last January she returned to training as a track athlete after a two year break. She took part in the RBC Regional Training Ground competition. These competitions are held across Canada to test athletes from ages 14 to 25 for power, speed, strength and endurance. Tania won her RBC Training Ground competition, thus securing RBC funding for the years leading up to the 2020 Olympics. So she was able to re-engage in track and even got to attend the 2016 Rio Olympics to experience the Olympic atmosphere. In an interview, Tania said that
in her talks to youth, she emphasizes perseverance and following dreams. She advises not doing something in the pursuit of fame, money or publicity but rather doing it because of a passion for it. She also emphasizes the importance of overcoming adversity, using her own example of how she had to stop her involvement with track for two years because she did not have the funding to continue and to travel to competitions. But now RBC is a sponsor and is providing funding up to the 2020 Olympics. Going to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro as a next generation
Team Canada member allowed Tania to talk with Olympians and learn from them, getting a feel for the Olympic experience so that at the next Olympics, she will be better prepared to handle the pressure and the atmosphere. At the Rio Olympics, she stayed with Perdita Felicien, a retired Canadian hurdler and former world champion who was there as a commentator. She received great advice from Perdita and indeed now has her as a mentor, always available for consultation. She is inspired by the fact that Perdita sees her as the next high class Canadian women’s hurdler.
Tania sees the hurdles as a “reflection of life,” saying that in life a person has to overcome adversity and obstacles along the way. In hurdles, an athlete can hit the hurdles but has to keep persevering and overcoming them, just like hurdles encountered in life. Tania says that in hurdles it is not a matter of who runs the fastest but is the one who develops a certain rhythm in the event and takes the quickest steps between the hurdles. One bad step and you can crash and burn in hurdles, she said. Tania now trains every day except on Fridays and Sundays at
the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney’s Bay or in cold weather at the Dome at Louis Riel track facility. She is now being coached by former track athlete and Olympic gold medal winner Glenroy Gilbert. Tania’s plan for 2017 involves three major goals: competing for the University of Ottawa in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport indoor track season; participating in the Francophone Games which are being held in Ivory Coast in July; and qualifying for the world championships in London, England.

Tania admits that her biggest hurdle so far was a financial one but now with her status on Canada’s development team until 2020 and the resulting RBC funding, she can now
focus on progressing in track. Now 22 years old and completing her university studies in communications this year, Tania admits that it was the Olympics this year which brought back her passion in track and her dream to be in the Olympics herself. Now that she has the funding thanks to RBC, she is pursuing this dream.

Winning lawn bowlers honoured at AGM John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club honoured its winning bowlers from the past season at its annual general meeting and banquet on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Trophies from the four tournaments hosted by the Club this past season as well as pennants representing victories in District playdowns were presented at the meeting. The Club’s mixed pairs championship trophy was presented to winners Teresa Derouin and Rick Nolan. Winners in the Waterside Retirement mixed pairs tournament were Robert Swift and Mary Bogle. Winners in the Chartwell Retirement tournament were the trio of Robert Sault, Garry Ross and Greta Sault. Winners in the Island View Suites tournament which used an Australian Pairs format were Paul Paveo and Wilma Boisvenue. The Australian Pairs format sees both team members lead and skip alternately during the course of the game. The Kelly Cup tournament for mixed triples saw the team of Robert Sault, Carol Kramer and Hubert Moriarity as the winner. This year the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club captured three District pennants for winning in the District playdowns and going on to provincial competition. Last year the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club won just one District pennant. One of this year’s District pennants was in men’s pairs competition. The duo of Garry Ross and Alistair Waddell won the District competition and went on to compete
in the provincial competition in Sarnia. Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club members Robert Sault, Garry Ross, Wayne Harding and Ross Williamson won the District pennant in men’s fours competition and went on to compete in the provincial competition in Etobicoke. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s foursome of Margaret Harding, Greta Sault, Hertha Stuart and Sue Deschamps won the District pennant in ladies’ fours competition. These four ladies went on to play in the provincial competition in Etobicoke. It was announced at the annual general meeting that a new sponsor was coming on board to sponsor one of the Club’s four annual tournaments which involve players from other Clubs as well. This new sponsor is the Ottawa lawn firm of Low Murchison Radnoff LLP which is a law firm located on Carling Avenue in Ottawa which offers a wide range of legal services including civil litigation, business law, family law, intellectual property, institutional law, estate and success planning, trade marks, labour and employment law, technology, real estate and personal injury. In addition, next season will see a new tournament added to the Club’s schedule. It will be a tournament involving only Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club members, just like the current Kelly Cup tournament. This new tournament will be in honour of the late Eileen Brown who passed away this year. The tournament John Curry/Metroland was suggested and will be sponsored by the Brown fam- Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club director Michael Clarke (centre) ily. Eileen Brown was a long time active bowler with the presents the Club’s mixed pairs championship trophy to winners Rick Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club. Nolan (left) and Teresa Derouin (right).

Standing ovcation to thank George Burns-Nichol John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Members of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club showed their respect and appreciation for the tireless work done on their behalf by long time immediate past president George Burns-Nichol by giving George an applause-filled standing ovation at the conclusion of the Club’s annual general meeting on Oct. 19. The standing ovation followed an acknowledgement by current
Club president Ross Williamson that all of the improvements and upgrades which had been made at the Club including $104,000 in investments over the past 12 months were all the result of George’s work and effort over the years. In his remarks earlier in the meeting, president Williamson said that all of the work done around the Club in recent years have been the result of George’s tremendous efforts on behalf of the Club with regard to fundraising, engaging sponsors and developing a rela-
tionship with the city of Ottawa. He said that these efforts by George have allowed the Club to install a tent at the green, to obtain necessary equipment and to expand the green. George Burns-Nichol stepped down as Club president due to health problems. He is now feeling much better although he will not be returning to active lawn bowling.

Cavanagh – In memory of Ron Cavanagh who passed away 25 years ago October 22, 1991, three weeks after our 25th Wedding Anniversary Party at our home. The voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you Part of it will be me. When you look in the eyes of my children, Part of them will be me. When a snowflake in winter Plants a kiss on your cheek, That kiss may well have been me And the dust which appears out of nowhere, May be part of the dust that was me. Through the promises of morning, And the voice of the wind, I will always have something to say, To reflect on those wonderful moments, And warm you as you make your way. All things that we both were a part of, Will continue to brighten each day. Making room for the sounds of your laughter By remembering I’m not that far away. Always remembered, Especially 22 days ago at our grandson, Bryce Ronald Cavanagh’s wedding and our 50th wedding anniversary with a dance with all our family for you. Love you forever, Melba, Brent, Darlene, Barry, Kelly, Jennifer, Chris, Bryce, Jessica, Emma, Rachel, Holly, Grace, Liam, and our new granddaughter Michalic.
John though it has been 20 years, I remember the day I met you, the day God made you mine. I remember the day God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made our vows together until death do we part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I am dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, that I can go on living, when I no longer have you! The memory of happy years when we were together, the joy’s, the tears, the love and the fears will stay with me forever. When I am sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper “cheer up & carry on!” Each time I see your picture you seem to smile and say, “don’t cry I am only sleeping, we’ll meet again someday!” Lovingly Remembered Audrey

Anglican rectory offered for Syrian refugee family John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
There is no firm date yet about when the six-member Syrian refugee family being sponsored by Richmond Village Refugee Welcome (RVRW) will be arriving in Canada but when the family does arrive, it will be living in Richmond. RVRW is hopeful that the family will arrive within the next few months. The application has been approved but medical checks and interviews must still take place in Turkey, so the actual timeline for arrival in Canada is uncertain at present. RVRW has been offered the rectory at St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street as a place for the family to live when it arrives in Canada. Renovations are being undertaken to accommodate the family. RVRW is now looking into transportation and English as a Second Language matters given that the refugee family will be living in Richmond. Previously it had been thought that the sponsored family might have to live in Kanata or Bells Corners due to the unavailability of adequate accommodation in Richmond. This has now changed with the recent offer from St. John’s Anglican Church that the rectory in Richmond could be used by the refugee family. While RVRW awaits the arrival of the Syrian family of six that it has chosen to sponsor, the fundraising to support this refugee sponsorship initiative continues with the holding of the upcoming “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” event on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Rev. Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at St. Philip’s Catholic Church in Richmond.
UPCOMING EVENTS
“Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” will be an evening of dinner, music and silent and live auctions. It’s going to be a fun evening starting at 5:30p.m. with lots happening. There will be a roast beef dinner topped off with homemade pies. Entertainment for the evening will be provided by musical entertainer George Thomas who not only wears crazy outfits to go with his musical antics but he has a real knack to get his audience involved and participating. And then there will be not only a silent auction but also a live auction which is always lots of fun. MC and auctioneer for the evening will be the renowned Brian Goudge who over the years has earned his nickname “motormouth” by his constant stream of chatter and information at events where he has the microphone. His ongoing banter throughout the evening will be entertaining in itself. Organizers are still accepting donations for these silent and live auctions. Any businesses which would like to contribute an item or service for these auctions should contact Ruth Cameron at 613-838-5223. As for tickets for this “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” event, they are on sale now at $50 per person. Tickets are available at the Scotiabank branch in Richmond. Tickets can also be arranged by calling Lynn at 613-8383071 or Ruth at 613-838-5223. Climate Works Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is the title sponsor for this “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” fundraiser while Talos Homes is the truffle sponsor as everyone at the event will each receive a packet of three chocolate truffles. St. Philip’s Catholic Church is the venue sponsor.

CWL resolution about incarcerated indigenous women John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s a resolution that has been developed at the local level but may eventually wind up being presented to the federal government. The Holy Spirit Parish Catholic Women’s League (CWL) has spent nine months researching and writing a resolution to bring about
improvement to the lives of incarcerated indigenous women in the Canadian correctional system. This arose from the fact that indigenous women are vastly over represented in Canada’s prisons. Although indigenous women are only two percent of the Canadian population, they make up about 35 percent of the incarcerated female population in the country.
In addition, over 90 percent of these incarcerated indigenous women suffer from mental health issues, addictions and abuse. So the CWL at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville took action and under the leadership of Jo Young of the CWL wrote a resolution entitled “Proposal to improve the lives of incarcerated indigenous women in Canada.”
This resolution was unanimously approved by the Holy Spirit Parish CWL and recently was presented to the president of the Ottawa Diocesan CWL Joanna Sisk for hope-for approval at the Diocesan level. Approval at the Diocesan level would then see the resolution go on to the provincial level and after that, if approved at the provincial level, to the national level. An approval
at the national level might then see the resolution ultimately presented to the federal government. Besides bringing about hopedfor change for incarcerated indigenous women, the resolution’s goal is also to help make more Canadians aware of the need for change in Canada with regard to the current situation involving incarcerated indigenous women in the country.

The Holy Spirit Catholic Women’s League will be hosting its annual bazaar and tea room on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Parish Hall on Shea Road in Stittsville. The famous Christmas pudding which has been a sell-out at all previous bazaars will be offered once again but you should play to be there early if you want to take home some of the pudding.
There will be a bake table, crafts, jewellery, a white elephant table and more. The tea room will be serving soup, chili and desserts. In addition, there will be a raffle draw at the bazaar, with the prizes being a movie night basket, a Christmas hospitality basket and a wine gift basket. Everyone is welcome to attend. All proceeds will be donated to local charities.

SCHS student council plans events Bethany Walker
Special to the News
South Carleton High School in Richmond has an active and engaging school life thanks to the efforts of the school’s student council. Student council is comprised of student representatives from all of the grade levels in the school. Student council holds weekly meetings to discuss and organize activities like dances, spirit days and lunch hour activities. This year’s student council, headed by grade 12 students Janek and Brett, has events for students planned throughout the school year. October has lots of activities for Halloween including a spirit week leading up to Halloween itself on Oct. 31. There’s a haunted house, a zombie themed dance and costume days. Other events planned throughout the school year include a canned food drive in
November, door decorating and a Christmas assembly in December, a “Gotcha” campaign in February, a spirit week in March, “Battle of the Grades” in April and Summerfest in June. There are also “Fun Fridays” being held every month as well as Spirit Weeks being held throughout the year. There are also some new events. There will be a Relay for Life event in June, with the student council working with the HOPE Club on its organization. Another new event will be an Oscars night in May. The role of student council co-presidents is vital in ensuring a host of fun and engaging events for students throughout the school year. Student council co-presidents present ideas to the student council, obtain approval for the proposed events from the school principal and work with school staff to advertise the events to the students.

MARY COOK Memories My sister Audrey was getting desperate. Her best friend Iva had a steady boyfriend, Melany was already married, and Audrey only went out once, on what could be called a real date, and that boy from the Barr Line latched on to a girl from Douglas right after, and had been taking her to the church socials ever since. Mother assured her, her time would come. After all, she was still young, and in her last year at the Northcote School. Secretly, I was delighted that Audrey didn’t have a steady beau. That meant the long winter nights could be spent with the both of us sitting at the kitchen table going through Eaton’s catalogue, a pastime I dearly loved. Out of the blue one night, the phone rang, and it was for Audrey and a lad from sev-

Audrey thinks her luck is looking up when she is asked out on a date
eral miles away asked her to a dance in Douglas. Well! Was she excited and by Saturday night she had tried on every dress in her scant wardrobe and that day her hair had been tied up in rags and her lisle stockings washed and hung beside the Findlay Oval to be dried. I could see the dim lights of the lad’s car coming in our long lane and I was thoroughly disappointed that Audrey ran outside to meet him before he had a chance to come into the kitchen so that I could get a good look at him. It was going to be a long evening ahead. I played jacks, looked through the catalogue on my own, which was no fun at all, and was colouring the picture in the Ottawa Farm Journal on the “Children’s Page”. I doubted Mother
would let me stay up until Audrey got home and I knew I wouldn’t shut an eye until she crawled into bed beside me. It was sure going to be a long evening ahead. It seemed to me that less than an hour had passed when we heard a car come in the yard, the we heard a car door slam, and Audrey burst into the kitchen like she had been shot out of a cannon! She was talking so fast, I could hardly understand what she was saying. Mother told her to calm down and Emerson offered that he thought the lad must have turned out to be a Catholic. Well, finally Audrey calmed down enough to tell us, he hardly spoke a word. She had to do all the talking all the way to Douglas and when they

reached the dance hall, he left her standing at the door and he headed right over to a clatch of boys standing across the room. He finally wandered over to where she was, grabbed her hand and headed for the dance floor. “Other than a few grunts, he never said a word. I did all the talking.” It turned out he wasn’t much better at dancing either. “I told him I had a headache and wanted to go home. I even had to get my own coat, because he headed for the door as if he couldn’t wait to get outside.” I hated to admit it, but I was secretly delighted the date had turned out so badly. My beloved sister wouldn’t be tearing out of the house every Saturday night after all! Audrey’s rag-wrapped curls were hanging over her forehead and she had mud on her newly washed lisle stockings. Her final words summed up the night in proper fashion. “He’s as dead as a mackerel. He just doesn’t have the brains to lie down.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Jewellery, handbags wanted Special to the News
Your gently-used jewellery and handbags can help feed youngsters in Nunavut. This is possible thanks to the annual “All That Glam” fundraiser that is coming up on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata. But right now, the organizers are looking for donations of gently-used jewellery and handbags to sell at this fundraiser. And it’s easy to donate: just drop into any TD Canada Trust branch in Stittsville, Kanata, Manotick, Barrhaven, Westboro or the Glebe before the end of the month of October and drop off your donated jewellery or handbags in the collection box that will be there. You can also drop off your donations at any one of the eight Dymon Storage locations in the Ottawa area. It was four years ago that Eva von Jagow, then a student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, and her mother, Karen von Jagow of Stittsville began this “All That Glam” fundraiser to raise funds to support breakfast programs in Nunavut. To date over $60,000 has been raised for these programs in Nunavut schools. The “All That Glam” fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 26 will be a virtual woman’s wonderland with thousands of pieces of incredibly priced jewellery and purses, all available just in time for Christmas gift giving. There will also be a silent auction, Nunavut artwork and coffee and food available, making for a memorable “Girls Morning Out.” This fourth annual “All That Glam” fundraiser is now a much anticipated holiday season event. It will happen on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 8a .m. to 2 p.m. at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive in Kanata.

Cheese puffs with onion jam make great appetizers Foodland Ontario
Special to the News
Choux pastry is more familiar in desserts such as eclairs but can also be used to make elegant appetizers, packed with a savoury filling. A food processor makes for a quick and easy method. Both the puffs and filling can be prepared ahead of time. Preparation Time: 45 minutes Cooking Time: About 50 minutes Baking Time: 45 minutes Makes about 100 puffs and 3 cups (750 mL) Onion Jam Ingredients Onion Jam: ¼ cup (50 mL) unsalted butter 2 lb. (1 kg) Ontario red onions, about 8, halved and thinly sliced 1 cup (250 mL) Ontario dry red wine 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar Salt and pepper Cheese puffs: 5 Ontario eggs 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, preferably Kosher 1 cup (250 mL) water
1/3 cup (75 mL) unsalted butter 1 tsp (5 mL) each Dijon mustard and granulated sugar ¼ cup (1 mL) hot pepper sauce
1 cup (250 mL) shredded Ontario Swissstyle or cheddar cheese (about 4 oz/125 g) 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
Preparation instructions Ontario jam: In large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until soft but not brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in wine, increase heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered, until all the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar; cook five minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Make-ahead: jam can be made up to three days ahead, cool, cover and refrigerate. Warm to use.) Cheese puffs: In small bowl, using fork, beat together one egg and a pinch of salt. Set aside for glaze. In medium saucepan, bring water, butter, mustard, sugar, hot pepper sauce and remaining salt to a boil, stirring to melt the butter. Remove from heat and immediately add the flour all at once. Beat with wooden spoon until mixture is well combined and leaves the sides of the pan, about one minute. Cook over medium heat for two minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer mixture to food processor and let cool two minutes. Add remaining eggs and process, stopping to scape down the sides of the bowl, until eggs are incorporated and mixture is thick, smooth and shiny, about 30 seconds. If too thick, add 1 tsp (5 mL) of egg glaze. Add cheese and process for five seconds. Using two small spoons, drop dough
into two parchment paper-lined sheets to form mounts 1-inch (2.5 cm) across, ½ inch (1 cm) high and 1-inch (2.5 cm) apart. Brush lightly with egg glaze. Bake in 425 degree Fahrenheit (220 degree Celsius) oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Remove baking sheets from oven and pierce the side of each puff with sharp skewer. Return to oven and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Place baking sheets on wire racks to cool until slightly warm, about 10 minutes. Cut off tops with serrated knife to fill. Fill each puff with about 1 tsp (5 mL) of onion jam. (Make-ahead: store cooled puffs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Warm puffs for three to five minutes before filling. Or freeze for up to three weeks. Place frozen puffs onto baking sheet, heat in 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) oven until warmed through, eight to ten minutes.)

1 DO YOU WANT TO MOVE, OR DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO MOVE? The two most common broad reasons that seniors consider a move: they WANT to be closer to family, shopping, or to downsize. The other reason is because they feel they HAVE to move due to health, financial or other reasons.
SENIORS, ARE YOU CONSIDERING MOVING?
6 DO YOU HAVE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS? Do you have a lawyer, accountant, financial planner? While everyone’s needs for these types of professionals is different, there’s a good chance that having these types of professionals on your side will make things easier for you, and save you money too. It is quite likely that we will need to interact with one of more of the professionals on your team.

When a new situation presents itself, give yourself some extra time to come up with a course of action.

Doing so may help Here’s How It Works: you see things from that person’s perspective, and that will only serve to benefit your relationship.

Ryan Orban of Stittsville is alternate captain

The Bell Warriors Football Club is supporting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation at all of its home games this fall. Donations will be collected at each home game, with the proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The players will be sporting pink cancer ribbons on their helmets in their games this fall as a further show of support for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and those who are battling breast cancer. In addition, the players this season will have poppies on their helmets for games during Championship Week to show support and respect for those who have died in military service to the country. These helmet poppies are being provided thanks to the generosity of Grant and Cathy England of Stittsville. Their son Connor is an offensive lineman and captain of the Bell Warriors bantam team this season. This is his final year playing for the Bell Warriors. Grant and Cathy England are once again this season being recognized as “Friends of the Warriors” sponsors.
Ryan Orban of Stittsville has been named as an alternate captain of the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). He was named to the position by Ottawa 67’s head coach and general manager Jeff Brown on Oct. 14 who also named Travis Barron as captain and Patrick White as another alternate captain. “These are three exceptional players, on and off the ice,” Brown said in making the announcement. “We have the youngest team in the league and Travis, Ryan and Patrick will play a vital role in not only leading this group but helping with the development and maturity of these young players.”
Ryan Orban is in his third season with the 67’s and his fourth season overall in the OHL. A second round pick of Saginaw Spirit in 2013, the Stittsville native returned home during the 2014-15 season. He has over 150 games of OHL experience. “It’s a huge honour and I’m looking forward to the opportunity,” Ryan said about being named as an alternate captain of this season’s Ottawa 67’s. “I watched the 67’s growing up and thought it would be amazing to play for them and to now have the opportunity to wear a letter just makes this all the more special.” Ryan wore his “A” on his 67’s jersey for the first time for the 67’s game against the North Bay Battalion in a Saturday, Oct. 15 game at TD Place at Lansdowne Park.

Margaret and Don Sadler of Richmond are long time supporters of the Queensway Carleton Hospital. “Our daughter was in a car accident in 1984, “ Marg says, explaining why she chose to start donating to the hospital. “She hit the rear view mirror – one of her eyes was severed, she had some terrible lacerations on her face, and her jaw was broken. She was taken to the Queensway where she was attended to right away. She went into the operating room; they operated all night. The doctors did a tremendous job, and you can’t see a scar today.” Marg and her husband Don were so impressed with the level of care which their daughter received that they started donating shortly after their daughter was released from the hospital. “It’s not only their personal experiences with the hospital that spurred them into giving back by donating to the hospital. “We heard lots of good reports about the
hospital and the staff is always so pleasant when you go in,” Marg says. “It’s always very welcoming when you walk through the front door. We’ve heard some very good patient experiences involving the QCH.” Her husband Don tells about his own experiences, mentioning that he has been to many of the hospitals in Ottawa. “We realized from the exposure we got of the hospitals that they all needed donations. So we decided to donate to the one that meant the most to us, where it would be the most effective, and where we knew the money would be used for beneficial things.” Their donations have increased since they started contributing over 30 years ago. “Now as we get older, when a lot of our friends are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, they don’t want gifts anymore, so we make a donation to the hospital,” Marg explains. Last January Marg had a symptom that seemed like a mini stroke. She was taken straight to the hospital where she was treated within ten minutes and then sent for tests with-
in three days of the incident. “We my experiences over the years, we just find them very pleasant,” Marg says about the Queensway Carleton Hospital staff. “I find the hospital every kind and welcoming.” In fact, any time that Marg or her husband Don have had to go to the Queensway Carleton Hospital, they have been impressed with what they have experienced. They realize that the hospital may be a bit smaller than some others but they feel that it offers a more personal experience. Marg and Don Sadler have been part of the Queensway Carleton Hospital since the hospital was only eight years old and have watched it grow over the years. They feel that the hospital offers everything that is needed other than the Heart Institute which the Queensway Carleton

‘Miracles of Life’ is theme for Stittsville Toastmasters Club meeting Monika Jain
Special to the News
“Miracles of Life” was the theme for the Oct. 19 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club with “Evolve” as the word of the day. At the meeting, which was attended by 14 members along with one guest, saw Mathieu Bourdreau present a toast to “adopting families” who open their hearts and homes to unfortunate children, giving them hope and love. Maria Pemberton, the newest member of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, presented her “ice breaker” speech which was entitled “Ancestry.” She talked about her parents’ adventures and their journey from Austria to Australia and finally to Canada.

others,” “Be kind and generous” and “Get ready for an adventure.” The Table Topics portion of each meeting is always challenging for members but they end up putting their thoughts together quickly and speaking well about them. Helene Rivest was the Table Topics winner for this meeting, sharing her experience about working with a little girl through the “Big Brothers and Big Sisters” organization. Her story reminded everyone about the joy of giving and how those who give get so much more in return. Helene Rivest also served as the quizmaster for the meeting, challenging everyone’s listening skills in a fun way. Rick Holloway was the grammarian for the meeting, identifying lots of interesting phrases and words used by members during the meeting. These included phrases such as “Don’t let the memories pass you by,” “Priceless memories,” “Comfortable with contents” and “There are no kangaroos in Austria.” Gina Cook gave the closing thought at the meeting, talking about the cycle of nature. Nature never ceases to amaze, she said, just like every year nature spreads its magic everywhere through beautiful fall colours. The takeaway message for the meeting was that “There are miracles happening all around us and all we have to do is keep our eyes and hearts open to witness them.” For information about the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, please contact Gerry Tapp at 613-721-8177 or via email at tapp.gerry@rogers.com.

Speaker tells all about what she calls ‘black gold’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The term “black gold” is used to describe oil pumped from underground. And like gold the precious metal, it can make a person rich. But there is another kind of “black gold,” at least in the view of Arlene Sheppard Rowe, a member of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society who was the guest speaker at the Society’s October meeting. Her “black gold” is compost which may not make its owner “rich” but which will make his or her garden and lawn “rich” in nutrients. In her presentation, Arlene explained about composting based on her own 30 years of personal composting and what she had learned over these years. She explained that the use of compost gives a gardener a healthy soil structure, allowing for proper moisture control and supplying the soil with needed micronutrients. “It makes your soil healthy,” she said, explaining that the organic material in compost acts like little sponges in the soil. Using compost also provides the soil with a stable base of nutrients, eliminating any need to buy fertilizer. And compost created in the backyard is free. “That’s the best part of it,” Arlene said. The organic material that goes to create compost includes kitchen waste (no animal products like meat and cheese is her advice), household waste like dryer lint and paper towels, garden waste like grass clippings,
branches and leaves (stay away from including any diseased plants) and manure from animals that eat vegetable matter, not meat. She explained that compost is created from organic material thanks to the work of physical decomposers like nematodes, mites, beetles, worms and even frost but that it is aerobic bacteria which is the top decomposer. She called aerobic bacteria “the race car of decomposition,” adding that it is the workhorse in composting. Such bacteria uses oxygen and leaves no unpleasant smell in the process. Other bacteria which does not use oxygen generates a much slower decomposition process which ends up meaning more work in creating the compost. The ideal aerobic bacteria are so-called thermophiles which are the ones that you as a gardener want to have, Arlene said. These bacteria are most active between 55 degrees Celsius and 71 degrees Celsius, resulting in the term “hot compost” and providing the optimum decomposition speed. However, the most common aerobic bacteria in most home composting are “mesophiles” which are active in a temperature range of 37 degrees Celsius to 49 degrees Celsius. Air circulation and moisture are two important ingredients in composting. Oxygen in a compost pile leads to optimum decomposition. Oxygen can be induced into a compost pile by including twigs in it, by using perforated pipes running through it, by periodic stirring of the pile and by turning the pile over every so often. Moisture is also essential for decomposition to occur. A compost pile should be damp to touch, she said, calling it the Goldilocks situation. “It can’t be too dry, it can’t be too wet, it has to be just right,” she said. She said that usually there is enough rain to provide the moisture needed. However, she noted that this year was the first year in 30 years of composting that she had to water her compost pile due to the dry summer. There are various methods of composting, she explained. You can have a compost pile; you can have a trench which is an easy and inexpensive method provided you do not have a lot of material to be composted; you can use a tumbling bin which can be rolled or turned to keep the organic material from compacting; and you can use the so-called “California Method” which was developed at the University of California which involves a three bin system. This is the system that Arlene uses. The composting method selected depends on the size of your property, how much time and labour you want to spend on composting and how much compost you want for your garden and lawn. Tools needed for composting include collection pails, compostable plastic bags, clippers or loppers, a lawn mower or leaf blower, a pitch fork, a thermometer, a

mix in more soil when this happens) and unwanted visitors such as dogs, raccoons, squirrels, mice and crows. “Compost piles are dog magnets,” she said, admitting that she has four dogs herself. She said that dogs spread the decomposing material all over the place, so you have to make sure that dogs cannot get at the pile. Arlene said that there are many books now available on composting.

screen, an aerator and a wood chipper. Arlene called the finished black soil product from composting “black gold,” advising not to worry about any lumps in it unless it is being spread on the lawn which would then require screening before spreading. Among the problems that Arlene has encountered with composting over the years include slow decomposition, smell (turn the pile and
