“This run’s second year was a great opportunity for all participants to contribute to a community cause, and encouraged students to get
moving and engage in some physical activity, which is the primary mission of the Course des Patriotes,” said Johanne Lacombe, chair of
the Conseil de écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE). She was thrilled with the event’s high turnout. “It’s impressive to see the re-
sults of the community’s efforts and co-operation when they come together to build a better world,” she added. CECCE director of education
Rejean Sirois was equally impressed by the event. “This community project reflects the CECCE’s values of innovation, co-operation

Catch The Ace Lottery by john curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s a new local lottery that not only has a weekly prize, but also has a progressively growing grand prize up for grabs each week. It all depends on the playing card from a deck of 52 that is revealed based on the weekly prize winning ticket that determines if the grand prize is awarded. If the playing card is the ace of spades, the grand prize is given away. If not, then the grand prize amount increases and is carried forward to the next weekly draw. It’s called the Catch The Ace Lottery, organized by the Stittsville District Lions Club. The proceeds go to Hein House, the new residential wing at Hospice Care Ottawa’s Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata. The first weekly draw on Wednesday, Oct. 25 saw $136 in winnings go to Phyllis Carruthers of Stittsville. There were 136 tickets sold at $5 each for this initial draw, which is why the prize was $136 or 20 per cent of the ticket sales. If all 200 tickets that are available for each of the weekly draws are sold, then the weekly prize will be $200. In addition, 30 per cent of the ticket sales go to the grand prize draw. If the ace of spades had been drawn on Oct. 25, then the grand prize would have been awarded as well as the smaller weekly prize. But, the ace of spades was not drawn. Rather, it happened to be the ace of diamonds (it could have been any of the other 51 cards in the deck), so the grand prize draw became larger for the
Nov. 1 weekly draw. The grand prize will continue to grow in size for each weekly draw until the ace of spades is revealed and the grand prize given away. The initial winner, Phyllis Carruthers, is the mother of Karen Ganong of Stittsville, who was in attendance with her husband Fred for this initial Catch The Ace Lottery draw, which took place at 7 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. They had experienced a popular similar Catch The Aces Lottery draw in the Maritimes, so they became avid participants in this new lottery venture by the Lions Club in Stittsville, even attending the initial draw. This initial draw was carried out with some flair, with Hospice Care Ottawa special events co-ordinator Martha Beltran in attendance and providing a few introductory remarks before the inaugural draw. She then drew the winning ticket from the drum containing all of the tickets sold. Lions Club member Jack Burke served as the MC for this inaugural draw, describing the draw and the procedure being followed. The winning ticket pulled from the drum indicated that envelope No. 4 out of 52 envelopes contained in a special locked container should be opened. It was this envelope which contained the ace of diamonds and not the grand prize winning ace of spades card. Somewhere among the other envelopes — still unopened in the locked container — is the grand prize ace of spades card, there to be opened at a future weekly draw, with the grand prize amount increasing each week until this happens.

Tickets for each weekly Catch The Ace Lottery draw are available at Bradley’s Insurance on Stittsville Main Street, at Stittsville Automotive on Neil Avenue, at Kodiak Snowplowing on Carp Road or from Lions Club members. The weekly draw will be held at 7 p.m. each Wednesday, with tickets also available for purchase at the Lions Hall from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. just before each week’s draw (if there are any left for purchase by that time).
There are only 200 tickets maximum available for each weekly draw. Tickets are $5 each. The weekly draws will continue until the grand prize amount is won. Then it will all start all over again. The Lions Club is broadcasting each weekly draw in this Catch The Ace Lottery on its Facebook page. Lions Beth Lewis, Jennifer Fayle and Helen Burke are organizing this Catch The Ace Lottery draw on behalf of the Stittsville District Lions Club.

New park name in Stittsville ties into family’s history Cypress Gardens Park renamed in honour of Mary Durling BY BRIAN DRYDEN
Nadine Carter Stouffville, ON 2016 Ontario Junior Citizen
brian.dryden@metroland.com
Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri says that there was “overwhelming” community support to rename an existing park in Stittsville after Mary Durling. And the renaming of the specific park in question is appropriate because Durling and her family have long been known to have used the park often. “This park is particularly significant to Mary Durling and her children, as the family spent a great deal of time enjoying this space and making memories in this exact location over the years,” Qadri said. “Mary Durling was a well known member of this community and an active volunteer in this area for many years. Through her volunteer work, Mary formed rich ties to this community and an overwhelming amount of public support was received during the public consultation for this proposal,” Qadri said of the park renaming process that has led to the former Cypress Gardens Park at 33 Brae Crescent being renamed as Mary Durling Park at a special renaming ceremony held on Oct. 20. “I am very proud that we were able to make this event happen and that Mary Durling will be honoured for her work and dedication to this community through the naming of this park,” Qadri said. Durling was a well known member of thecommunity and an active volunteer for many years who devoted time to raising awareness and funds for important causes and advocated for those in need of a voice. She supported numerous charitable organizations such as the Heart and Stroke foundation, Cameron Awareness and the Ladies Auxiliary Stittsville Legion. While the former Cypress Gardens Park at 33 Brae Crescent has now been renamed Mary Durling Park, there is another naming proposal involving a Stittsville greenspace now being reviewed by the city. The City of Ottawa’s commemorative naming committee is now seeking public comment on four commemorative naming proposals, in-

cluding one in Stittsville associated with the site of a future park in the community. According to information of the City of Ottawa’s website, “in recognition of the Kavanagh Family’s historical significance to the community of Stittsville, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name a future park located at the southwest corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street ‘Kavanagh Green’.” “For nearly a century, Kavanagh family members have made important contributions to the community of Stittsville and surrounding areas which include owning and operating the popular Stittsville Flea Market for 25 years and volunteering with the Food Bank, Holy Spirit Church and the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice,” the naming proposal states. Residents who want to comment on the Kavanagh Green naming proposal have until Nov. 11. They are asked to contact Emma Leroux at the office of the City Clerk and Solicitor at 110 Laurier Ave. W.

U-Rock performers put on a show for Halloween
Through a new signage campaign across rural Ottawa, the City is making an effort to remind motorists that vehicles with green flashing lights are being driven by volunteer firefighters who are responding to a call. As a courtesy, all road users are asked to allow these vehicles to pass quickly and safely. Ottawa’s rural communities are served by 470 volunteer firefighters. Through the Green Light program, volunteer firefighters are equipped with green flashing lights for their personal vehicles. When you see a green light flashing from a driver’s vehicle, it means the driver is a volunteer firefighter responding to an emergency. Drivers are asked, to please yield the road to these vehicles with green flashing lights. This may mean pulling over, if it is safe to do so, to allow the vehicle to pass. Volunteer firefighters responding to an emergency typically need to drive their personal vehicles to a nearby fire station where they can transfer into a fire vehicle before responding to the scene of an incident. Pulling over when you see a firefighter’s green light can have a big impact because every second counts. Volunteer firefighters are also expected to follow the same rules of the road as all other drivers. The Highway Traffic Act allows volunteer firefighters to display a flashing green light when responding to emergencies. The use of the flashing green light on or in vehicles is restricted to fire services. To increase awareness of the Green Light program, the City launched an awareness campaign recently. Drivers in rural areas may notice additional road signs and billboards reminding them of the program. This program has existed in rural Ottawa for several years and similar programs exist across North America in communities that are served by volunteer firefighters.
ReCollect Calendar App The City of Ottawa is pleased to launch the ReCollect Collection Calendar app, in collaboration with the Service Innovation and Performance Department. The online ReCollect calendar has been in use since September 2012 and provides residents with a reminder of their collection day and the type of material scheduled for collection. The new mobile app is now available free of charge through Apple and Android stores. By downloading the collection calendar app, residents will be able to receive notifications about their collection and quickly reference their collection calendar on their Apple and Android devices. ReCollect apps are used by over 100 municipalities across North America. Each of these mobile apps is unique to the municipality (name, artwork, content, etc.), and has been very well received by residents. In addition to weekly calendar reminders, customized waste diversion messages can also be incorporated into the app. In addition to the ReCollect app residents can access the ReCollect calendar on Ottawa.ca. They can download and print the collection calendar, upload it to personal calendars or sign up for email, telephone or Twitter notifications. 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.

A push is on to keep volunteer firefighters that respond to incidents in the Stittsville area out of harm’s way when they are on the “job.” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is calling on all residents in his ward and the rural areas that surround it to make sure that “our volunteer firefighters can work efficiently and effectively” as the City of Ottawa launches a Flashing Green Light Awareness Campaign. The city launched the awareness campaign to remind drivers that vehicles with flashing green lights in their dash are volunteer firefighters. Safer Roads
The funding for the awareness campaign comes from Safer Roads Ottawa. “This is considered a rural program, but it’s something every driver should know,” Mayor Jim Watson said during the campaign launch at city hall on Oct. 25. Acting city fire Chief Kim Ayotte said the city’s rural communities, such as Navan, West Carleton, Osgoode, Stittsville and North Gower, are served by 470 volunteer firefighters. Typically, volunteers drive their personal vehicles to a nearby fire station in the event of an emergency. Once there, they transfer to a fire vehicle. As part of the campaign, the city created a video that will air in both official languages. There will be 38 signs posted in the city’s ru-

Thanking our Veterans with Bill 100 Earlier this month my Private Members Bill, the Honouring our Veterans Act, unanimously passed what is known as second reading in the Ontario Legislature. After one more vote it may receive Royal Assent and become law. All three other parties voiced their support for the bill and I am grateful for that. Bill 100, is a simple yet important proposal that will serve as a way of thanking those that have served in the Canadian Forces and helped to preserve our freedom. It will allow veterans of the Canadian Forces to add a special graphic to their drivers’ licenses that says “Veteran” under their photo. Like the veteran license plates that already exist this is a way veterans can publicly take pride in their service and for civilians to identify veterans so that they can express their gratitude for the good work the Canadian Forces has done. As we approach Remembrance Day it is important that all Canadians remember those that have sacrificed everything so that we as Canadians may be free. I will remember my family members who have served as I know many others will, and I will thank those that are still with us.

Nothing veiled in Bill 62 racism threat
Q
uebec’s Bill 62 barring those who choose to cover their face from receiving public services is, as Mayor Watson has written to Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, an infringement of the fundamental Charter right of freedom of individuals to express their religion in the manner they choose and discriminates against women who choose to express that freedom. But the mayor is being nice. It is much more than that — it is racism and bigotry, wrapped up in a false claim it is being done for public safety reasons. There is absolutely no evidence that covering one’s face in any way is a precursor of violent behaviour. We are somewhat disappointed in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s rather weak response to this discriminatory action by the Quebec government. He should be coming out forcefully and unequivocally against this law as he has a responsibility to defend Canadian values and to battle so-called “values” politics like this wherever it might raise its ugly head. This is not something to play politics with, worrying about winning or losing votes in Quebec. Rather, this is something that goes to the very core of our Canadian beliefs and must be opposed as strongly and firmly as possible. There is just no place in Canada for such feelings of racism, bigotry and discrimination against women. It is even more important to quash this racism and bigotry in its tracks right now, not only because
of this new law in Quebec, but in light of the new Statistics Canada data about Canada’s population. The data shows that Canada is more diverse than ever, with 22 per cent of Canadians now identifying themselves as part of a visible minority. In addition, the Indigenous population is growing rapidly and more and more immigrants are arriving in Canada, coming from countries like China and India rather than traditional northern European nations. These trends are going to continue, with Statistics Canada estimating that by the year 2036, visible minorities will represent more than 35 per cent of Canada’s population. This will require all those in society to be tolerant, welcoming and accepting of such rapid change. These are all traits Canadians as a whole accept today as evidenced by the recent outpouring of support for Syrian refugee families. Indeed, Prime Minister Trudeau has often remarked on this openness and tolerance of Canadians. In such a scenario and facing such a future, there is no room for the racism and bigotry that is evidenced by Quebec’s law barring public services to those who cover their faces due to their belief system. That’s why such pandering to society’s base racist instincts must be stopped now. This is a cutand-dried issue — there is no grey area here. You either believe in fairness, equity and tolerance or you don’t. There is no place for a law like Quebec’s Bill 62.
Viewing life through a three-inch cellphone screen

t is said that more than 1.3 million people saw the MosaiCanada 150 exhibition at Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau during the three-and-a-half months of the show. Large crowds trooped in awe through horticultural depictions of famous Canadian scenes and moments. To the untrained eye, it was difficult to tell whether we were seeing something spectacularly beautiful or spectacularly kitschy, but either way it was spectacular and people seemed to love it. You could tell that by the way they kept stopping on their way around the park to have their pictures taken. As each new spectacle approached — Jos Montferrand, a Mountie on a horse, a muskox — so did the obstacles in front of it, consisting of people standing still while someone with a phone
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town took their pictures. Some people, with long arms, took photos of themselves. Either way, it slowed things down. This is a fairly new phenomenon, new since phones developed into pretty good cameras, and it will have to be addressed at some point. Mind you, the world has many problems more serious than congestion in public places caused by cellphone cameras. Still, this is one problem that can actually be solved. In the days when cameras were fairly complex items and it took some
skill to use them well, families tended to specialize. One person was the photographer and others looked after other activities, such as mowing the lawn, writing letters to Santa Claus and changing the light bulbs. Now, everybody is a photographer, thanks to the cellphone camera. From the number of pictures that are taken, it’s a wonder that light bulbs get changed at all. Now, when a family of four arrives at an event such as MosaiCanada 150, it is not enough for one photo to be taken of, say, Anne of Green Gables or Paul Henderson scoring the winning goal in 1972. Now, all four cameras must capture the image. This all takes time. There are big thinkers among us who theorize that modern technology has changed our approach to the things we witness. We are now intent more on recording them than on looking at them. Our

preference is to look at things on a three-inch screen as opposed to large as life. And why? Who knows. All we do know is that the etiquette of sightseeing is undergoing a subtle change. Where once we stood politely and waited for someone’s photo to be snapped before moving on, now we just charge ahead and if that ruins the photo, so be it. The alternative is to spend hours waiting for photos to be taken. And anyway, it is not as if film is being wasted. As noted, it is not a big problem, as big problems go. But can anything be done? The Japanese, who are often a step ahead of the rest of us, have given the matter some thought. At major tourist attractions, such as shrines and temples, where thousands gather, there are signs.

the size of some of the groups. Applied here, it might even deter the family of four cellphones. If not, perhaps a more politely Canadian reminder might be better, such as: “Don’t forget to look at the exhibits.”

Work is expected to start this month on a new multi-use pathway for pedestrians and cyclists that will permanently close a section of Johnwoods St. to vehicle traffic in Stittsville.
Pathway will keep traffic off part of Johnwoods Street BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Work is expected to get underway later this month on a new multi-use pathway that will see vehicles banned from a small section of Johnwoods Street in Stittsville in an effort to make the area better suited for pedestrians and cyclists. “This work will add a safe and accessible recreational amenity, more greenspace and direct connections for pedestrians and cyclists,” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said of the plan that has
been a long time in the works. “The pathway will also enhance privacy and livability for nearby residents by reducing vehicle traffic noise and headlight glare,” Qadri added. Work on the project is expected to get underway on Wednesday, Nov. 15. As of that date, Johnwoods St. in Stittsville will be permanently closed to vehicular traffic from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue. One of the reasons for the change, according to the city, is a condition that was included in Mattamy Homes’ Fairwinds West subdivision agreement.
CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
Johnwoods Street Closure for Multi-Use Pathway From Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue October 26, 2017 Dear Resident, Starting on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, Johnwoods Street will be permanently closed to vehicular traffic from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue and will be rebuilt as a multi-use pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. This work will add a safe and accessible recreational amenity, more greenspace and direct connections for pedestrians and cyclists in your community. The pathway will also enhance privacy and livability for nearby residents by reducing vehicle traffic noise and headlight glare. WHO:
A contractor hired by Mattamy Homes will complete the work.
WHY:
This work must be completed to satisfy a condition in Mattamy Homes’ Fairwinds West subdivision agreement. The idea to downgrade Johnwoods Street from a major road to a local street has long been supported in several Council-approved documents like the Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Kanata West Concept Plan, Cycling Plan, and Pedestrian Plan. Historically, Johnwoods Street has experienced issues with cut-through traffic as population growth has outpaced the development of the arterial road network in the community. The construction of the Huntmar Drive extension and the Hazeldean Road widening have helped to alleviate some of these concerns. The partial closure of Johnwoods Street will further improve the situation.
WHAT:
The existing asphalt road surface will be removed and replaced with a three-metre wide asphalt multi-use pathway. Pathway features will include: • New tree and shrub plantings on either side of the pathway • Four benches and two waste receptacles • Post and rail wood fences at the Maple Grove Road and Rosehill Avenue entrances • Two walkway connections into the Fairwinds West community • Possible future pathway connection (built by the City) into the Bryanston Gate community through the existing pumping station property
WHEN:
This work is planned to start on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 and be completed by the summer of 2018.
WHERE: Johnwoods Street from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue. The surrounding roads will have information and construction signs installed and maintained for the duration of the construction to keep you informed of the changing conditions. Traffic calming is planned for Rosehill Avenue. Significant effort is being made to reduce the duration of the construction impacts in your community.
It is our honour to recognize your valour. Veterans wearing their medals ride free during Veterans’ Week November 5 - 11. It’s our small gesture of thanks for the overwhelming sacrifice veterans made on behalf of all Canadians.
Accessibility Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. The City makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require special accommodations, please contact the undersigned. Construction Disruptions Mattamy Homes will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the normal life of your family and / or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. Contact Information For any emergency outside normal working hours on weekdays and weekends, please call the City at 3-1-1.

Special to the News
At the open house, the public will be encouraged to provide comments on the mapping. Historical records of past flood events, news clippings, photographs or even anecdotal stories will all be welcomed as a way of confirming the reasonableness of the calculations made and the resulting hazard mapping for this portion of King’s Creek. For those unable to attend the open house, the mapping can be found online at www.rvca.ca/kingscreek-mapping-study. Comments can be sent to Ferdous Ahmed, the Rideau Valley Conservation
Authority’s senior water resources engineer, at ferdous. ahmed@rvca.ca. This mapping study has been done through a collaboration involving the City of Ottawa, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and the South National Conservation Authority. The city has provided contributions enabling these conservation authorities to move ahead with up-to-date flood risk mapping studies sooner than would otherwise be possible. This hazard mapping of King’s Creek is one of these studies.
Part of King’s Creek from the Brunton Side Road in Beckwith township to its mouth at the Jock River near Munster Side Road has been hazard mapped by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. Now members of the public are being invited to review the hazard mapping and associated regulations at an open house which will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the St. Clare’s Parish Hall on Dwyer Hill Road south of Franktown Road. The new mapping shows areas along this portion of King’s Creek that are prone to natural hazards such as flooding and erosion and that have natural environmental features such as wetlands. This mapping will be used by both the City of Ottawa and the townships Kristine Geary’s of Beckwith and Montague when their official plans and zoning schedules are updated. Development applications will also be reviewed with a view to this mapping. The goal is to help ensure that sound planning decisions are made in keeping people and property safe. Effective flood plain and resource management can only take place when there is accurate engineered hazard 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com mapping available.

Sacred Heart football Huskies chalk up three wins so far this season Special to the News
It’s been three games and three wins in junior boys football for the Sacred Heart High School Huskies so far this fall. Sacred Heart is playing a series of exhibition games against three other schools as there are not enough school teams to establish an official league. Sacred Heart opened the season on Oct. 2, playing on the road against Sir Wilfred Laurier High School. The Huskies came home to Stitts-
ville with a 26-0 victory. Sacred Heart played its second game at home in Stittsville, hosting St. Mark High School. The Huskies again emerged with a victory, albeit a closer one, winning by a 21-14 score. The Huskies displayed a balanced offense featuring both the run and the pass while also fielding a solid defence. The Huskies’ first touchdown came in the second quarter on a pass from quarterback Jack Buckley to Isaac Faubert.

Napoli’s donates to Cancer Foundation Special to the News
Bassel and Milad Khalil, owners of Napoli’s Café in Stittsville, have turned a huge personal loss into helping support other families facing cancer. Last March, the brothers suffered the death of their mother, Najat, who passed away from cancer — and it was a big loss, because their mother was the centre of their family life. “She was the matriarch; the pillar of our family,” Bassel says of his mom. “At every holiday and most weekends, all of us would end up at her home, enjoying her wonderful meals that included fresh produce from her garden, cooked with lots of love.” “She is the one who inspired us to cook and open Napoli’s,” Milad adds. So, to honour Najat’s memory, the Khalil family brought together their friends, family and staff this past summer, organizing a golf tournament to support other families facing cancer. The tournament sold out in a matter of days and raised $15,500 to support local clinical trials through the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. “We are proud to honour her memory through this golf tournament and by helping other families facing cancer,” Milad says about his mother. “It’s what she would have wanted.” The tournament benefited from the good work of Nicole Khalil, Bassel’s daughter, who used her experience and talents as an event coordinator and wedding planner to ensure that the tournament was a success. The tournament also attracted several players from the Ottawa Senators who are regular customers at Napoli’s Café. At the formal presentation of the funds raised by the tournament, Mark Stone and Craig Anderson of the Ottawa Senators, along with Craig’s wife Nicholle Anderson, presented a special award from the Cancer Foundation to Bassel and Milad, in honour of Najat. Nicholle is a cancer survivor herself, going through a highly publicized battle against the disease in the past hockey season. The funds raised by this golf tournament will go to support local clinical trails, which offer hope and more treatment options to those facing cancer in the community. The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is one of the only organizations funding local can-

Thanks to donors like Napoli’s, the Cancer Foundation has been able to support every cancer clinical trial conducted in Ottawa over the past seven years, with grants exceeding $2.5 million. This support has allowed the local Cancer Clinical Trials Office to leverage $8 for every $1 provided by the Cancer Foundation. With the support from the Napoli’s golf tournament, families facing cancer will continue to have access to the latest promising treatments close to home. Each year, 7,500 people in the Ottawa community are diagnosed with cancer.
The Cancer Foundation’s goal is to make sure local cancer patients and their families have the best possible quality of life throughout their cancer journey, including access to the best resources and treatment options. The Cancer Foundation does this through cancer coaching — an innovative approach where patients can meet with a coach to take control of their health situation — as well as by funding local clinical trials, research and groundbreaking technologies. Napoli’s Café wishes to thank the many sponsors and donors of this golf tournament, as well as the many who participated in the tournament. A big thank you is extended to the title

THANK YOU We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their overwhelming support shown to our family after the devastating farm fire that destroyed the machine shed, heifer barn and dairy barn on September 8th. At this time, we would like to say a special thank you to the local farmers, our family and friends who helped us the day of the fire and the following Monday and Tuesday with the clean up. In addition, thank you to the farms that are generously housing our remaining cattle that have been displaced.

Thank you for the phone calls, cards, letters, visits, prayers, food, gifts and financial support given to us.

Happenings here and there around the village of Richmond *Rev. Giles Joly, a former pastor at St. Philip Catholic Parish, who has been living in an apartment in Kanata, is moving to Carleton Place where he will be living with some friends. Rev. Joly, while he was at St. Philip’s, participated in the TV show Canada’s Worst Driver in 2009. *Don’t forget that St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean
Street is holding its fall dinner this Saturday, Nov. 4 from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $9 for children aged six to 12 and free for children aged five and under. There’s a family rate covering two adults and two children for $50. To reserve tickets, please call Kaye on 613-838-5432 and leave a message. *It will soon be time for youngsters
in Richmond to create street banners. This year the theme will not be winter wonderland or winter activities like in the past rather the theme will be Richmond’s 200th anniversary in 2018. These 26 street banners created by youngsters will be similar in style to the 17 street banners which are already hung up, with the banners having been sold as part of a fundraising
venture by the Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee. *Neil Rozon from the Dementia Society was the speaker at the monthly caregiver and care manager information and discussion group meeting held at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street on Tuesday, Oct. 24. These monthly meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month from Sep-

I
t had been a hot summer. Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day. But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in. The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the hot summer, just in case we let in the heat. Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of

More than once she said to other things which didn’t seem to have my sister Audrey, “Take the smallest and I was both glad and anxious when it now had to be done only every blocks of ice first.” And then suddenly a home.

And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept well chilled until used in a meal. No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house. There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere. Father was right. If you use your head, there is a solution for just about everything. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
November 2, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Committee Votes to Protect Shea Woods
Last week, Planning Committee discussed and approved an agreement that would see the City acquire about five hectares of Shea Road Woods, a popular local greenspace in Stittsville’s Fernbank Community south of Abbott Street East and east of Shea Road near Holy Spirit Parish. This is great news for the community as the woods – deemed Stittsville’s “unofficial dogpark” – are a beautiful green space in which residents often take their dogs for long walks to soak in some of our community’s natural beauty. City Council committed to acquiring this important natural area in 2009, to ensure area residents have access to high quality outdoor recreational space. The agreement with CRT Developments would see the City pay cash for about one third of the property. The remaining two thirds would be transferred in exchange for another parcel of land that was to be developed as a City park. As part of subdivision agreements, Ottawa requires each developer to design and build parks on behalf of the City. As part of a subdivision next to the Shea Road Woods, CRT Developments had already planned a 3.28-hectare park. In exchange for the Shea Road Woods property, the City would allow that land to instead be developed with low-density housing. There would be no net loss of recreational park facilities within the Fernbank Community as CRT Developments would pay for parks facilities next to the Shea Road Woods. The City would pay cash for the remaining 1.72 hectares, at an estimated cost of $1,577,573. Funding for that purchase would come from the Environmental Resource Area Acquisition Reserve Fund, which Council established to help acquire and protect natural features like Shea Road Woods. I would like to thank all residents for their overwhelmingly positive response to this item leading into Planning Committee. Your comments certainly made a lasting impression on the Committee members and truly shed a light on how important residents feel about preserving our natural areas. All existing comments sent to Planning Committee will be circulated to members of Council for discussion and final approval at the November 8th City Council meeting. If there are residents who did not have an opportunity to submit comments earlier they can email those to Caitlin Salter-MacDonald, Program Manager, Committee & Council Services at Caitlin.Salter-MacDonald@ottawa.ca.
Johnwoods Street Closure for Multi-Use Pathway
Starting on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, Johnwoods Street will be permanently closed to vehicular traffic from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue and will be rebuilt as a multi-use pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. This work will add a safe and accessible recreational amenity, more greenspace and direct connections for pedestrians and cyclists in your community. The pathway will also enhance privacy and livability for nearby residents by reducing vehicle traffic noise and headlight glare. For more information on this project, including history regarding the decision I encourage residents to please review the documents available on my website at shadqadri.com/johnwoods-closure
Exercise Caution at Active Development Site at CRT Fernbank Lands near Shea Road Woods
I would like to urge residents to please exercise caution in the area of the CRT Fernbank development lands located at 5786 Fernbank Road. This development site is located west of Robert Grant Avenue, south of the Trans Canada Trail and east of the Shea Road Woods / unofficial dog park area. Due to concern expressed by residents regarding the safety of residents who may be accessing this area I have requested the developer to please install additional signage in the area.
It is important that residents are aware that these lands are still privately owned and are indeed part of an active construction site. There is currently blasting and tree removal work being done in this area. For more information, please visit shadqadri.com
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. 28 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 2, 2017
What’s up, doc, around village of Stittsville? *You can help the Canadian Diabetes Association fight against diabetes and also support Camp Banting, a camp for children with diabetes, by contributing to the A Case for A Cure bottle drive. It is being held by the Stittsville District Lions Club on Friday, Nov. 3 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., as well as on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the parking lot at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. The Lions will be collecting beer, wine and cooler bottles, as well as cans. *Rotary Club member Grace Bell gave a presentation about golf at a recent club meeting. Grace described golf as one of the most fascinating games in the world, involving a stick, a ball and a small hole. She described it as a solitary and lonely game at times, as a game that comes down to one person and a club against nature. She took up the sport back in 1961, when she was teaching at Carleton Place High School and a friend introduced her to the game. Over the years, she has witnessed nine holes-in-one, two of which were her own. *Paulette and Henry Kinsella received a wedding anniversary blessing at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Saturday, Oct. 14, for marking 40 years of marriage this October. Also receiving a blessing were Klara and John Kinahan, who marked 47 years of marriage. *The City of Ottawa is currently seeking input about the proposal to name the area at the southwest corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road as Kavanagh Green. This area around the “Welcome to Stittsville” sign and adjacent flagpole is going to be developed for use by the public, including residents of the adjacent Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence, which is now under construction. The Kavanagh family is best known for owning and operating the Stittsville Flea Market for 25 years. The Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence is being built on part of the site of the former Flea Market. *The Catholic Women’s League at Holy Spirit Parish on Shea Road is accepting gently-used jewelry that will be sold at a table at its upcoming Christmas bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 18 at the church’s parish hall. If you have jewelry that you would like to donate, please contact Lorraine Scott at 613-831-6459. *A power outage caused by a storm on Sunday, Oct. 15 around 6 p.m. did not prevent Kung Fu Bistro at the Stittsville Corners shopping area, located at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road, from carrying on with serving customers. Everything was done by candlelight and by cellphone. Money was collected the old-fashioned way by writing out Visa and MasterCard numbers on slips that were used a number of years ago. Gas service allowed the cooking to continue, albeit under candlelight as well. With no hydro, there was no cash registers, so all the food was priced and the bills produced by hand. *Benn Insurance Brokers on Stittsville Main Street — between Holy Spirit Catholic School and the Stittsville Lions Medical Centre building — has undergone a name change as of Oct. 1, as it has merged into its parent company, Trigon Insurance Brokers Inc. Trigon purchased Benn Insurance Brokers in December 2015, continuing with the Benn name until now, as Trigon is now amalgamating its companies under one umbrella. The same experienced brokers will be providing service at the Stittsville office. Penny Clouthier is the branch manager, while Jennifer Killens is the personal insurance broker and Neil Roberts is the commercial account executive. Penny Clouthier can be

Volunteers wanted for parade Special to the News
Here comes Santa Claus! He will be coming to Stittsville on Saturday, Dec. 2 and the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is planning to make his welcome the biggest and best ever Santa Claus Parade of Lights. It will begin at 6 p.m. at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot on Stittsville Main Street across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, leaving from there and heading south to Carleton Cathcart Street. After the parade, Santa will be at Village Square Park at the corner of Main Street and Abbott Street where the Christmas lights on the trees will be turned on to welcome the holiday season to Stittsville. The lights will be all set to go for this thanks to the efforts of the members of the Stittsville District Lions Club. There will also be Christmas music, hot chocolate and
cookies on hand for the celebration. As in past years, members of the Lions Club will be collecting food and cash donations for the Stittsville Food Bank along the parade route. Spectators are encouraged to make donations of either cash or non-perishable food items. As usual, many volunteers are needed to make the parade a success. Volunteers especially are needed to staff the barricades along Stittsville Main Street, blocking traffic from the various side roads. An added benefit of doing this community service is that you get a prime viewing spot for the parade as it will pass right by your barricade. Anyone who would like to help with the parade, including students needing community hours, should contact SVA president Tanya Hein at 613-686-1842 or via email at Stittsvillevillage@gmail.com.

Breakfast to introduce possible business organization BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Goodbye, BIA! Hello, SBA! An attempt is being made to form a new Stittsville Business Association (SBA) out of the ashes of the recent failed attempt to establish a Business Improvement Area (BIA). An initial meeting to introduce the idea and to get feedback and input from local businesses is being held in the form of a breakfast meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. This breakfast meeting will be held at the ALE Restaurant at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club, with a chat time at 7:30 a.m. and a full breakfast being served at 8 a.m. The meeting will be wound up by 9:30 a.m. All businesses in Stittsville are encouraged to attend if possible. Tickets are $15 per person and should be purchased in advance to give the organizers an idea of how many to plan for. Tickets are available at Bradley’s Insurance at 1469 Stittsville Main St. or from Allan Ryan at 613-875-8718. Ryan is heading an interim committee which is trying to get this new Stittsville Village Association (SVA) up and running. It all arises from the recent attempt to create a BIA in Stittsville, an initiative which was not
well received by many businesses in the community. Concerns about the compulsory membership, the boundaries of the BIA area and the universal levy associated with a BIA were among a number of issues that led to the abandonment of the BIA initiative. However, a lot of local businesses indicated during the process that they would like to see an organization that would promote business in Stittsville while also being a vehicle through which businesses could help out the community, albeit all on a voluntary basis. This Nov. 14 breakfast is being held to give businesspeople in Stittsville an opportunity to provide input on what is important to them with regard to business promotion and growth in the community and also what they want to do as members of the business community to help the community in general. If businesses want something like this, they should come forward, provide input and get involved, Ryan says. Decisions like what such an organization would do such as special events or providing support to the SVA and whether there would be a membership fee will be made based on feedback and input provided by those who attend the breakfast meeting or otherwise provide input about the idea. For those who are unable

to attend the Nov. 14 meeting, Ryan or others involved in this SBA initiative will be happy to chat with any businesspeople to get their views on such a new organization. All opinions and input will be welcomed and valued. Ryan makes it clear that it will be the membership of any such new SBA organization that will decide on the direction and priorities of the organization as it evolves. The initial group organizing this initiative arose out of a recent meeting which involved the steering committee of the recent attempt to form a BIA in Stittsville, where it was agreed that a BIA was not the way to go but that a voluntary SBA may be successful in the community. Ryan himself views this as a possible “winwin” situation in which an organization can be formed that will be good for the community’s business sector but also good for the community overall. He calls it a “homegrown solution made in Stittsville” to a situation that needs address-
ing but not through a legislated BIA. He points out that Stittsville has a history of undertaking successful home grown projects such as the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and Village Square Park, both of which were developed largely through community involvement and fundraising. He believes that a voluntary SBA could help enhance the Stittsville community, making it a better place overall in not only helping business prosper but also in helping the community as a whole improve. So, the breakfast meeting on Nov. 14 is the first public step being taken to see if a SBA can happen in Stittsville. Ryan and others involved with this initiative are already visiting businesses in the community, talking about this and trying to get input and judge support for the venture. For more information about the Nov. 14 breakfast meeting or about this new SBA in general, please contact Ryan at 613-875-8718.
What’s happening around Stittsville? *A new chain link fence has been installed by the city between Village Square Park and the adjacent Stittsville Glass and Signs property. The new fence replaces the former wooden fence that was there. *The Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville has set up four committees, each involved with one aspect of the club’s activities. The committees include youth, community, Indigenous and international. *A drinking fountain is being installed by the city at Village Square Park, which is located at
the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. *The updating of flood plain mapping for Poole Creek in 2016 has added a possible three lots to the Poole Creek Village subdivision north of Hazeldean Road. The land had previously been considered in the flood plain, making development impossible. With the updated mapping, three lots will be allowed once it is confirmed that the existing infrastructure serving the area has the capacity to support these three additional lots.
