BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
While a community association near a street slated to be permanently closed off to vehicle traffic realizes the Johnwoods Street closure is a done deal, the Fairwinds Community Association still has a number of questions that it feels need to be addressed before the project is completed. Work is expected to get underway on Nov. 15 to make way for 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. As of Nov. 15, a section of Johnwoods Street will be blocked off to future vehicle traffic. That Nov. 15 date remains, according to Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri. See COMMENT, page 3

Winter parking pilot project tweaked after community input New parking rules on some Fairwinds streets set to start Dec. 1 BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Some roads have been dropped from a winter parking pilot project in the Fairwinds area of Stittsville, but the city will move forward with a plan to eliminate winter parking as of Dec. 1 on one-side of the street on some roadways in the neighbourhood. According to the city, signage should be installed by Dec. 1 and the
parking restrictions will be in effect until March 30. “This will be a pilot project for this winter season and in the spring we will review the project with the community and will be open to recommendations for changes for the future,” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said. Qadri hosted an information session at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex with city staff to go over the details of what was being proposed
Comment deadline extended for park design Continued from page 1
“While we understand that the closure of Johnwoods is inevitable, residents still have a number of questions and concerns that must be addressed before the closure, including traffic safety issues,” the Fairwinds assocition stated in a letter to the city. Among numerous concerns raised is traffic count numbers for the street that the city is using that are lower than resident conduct-
viewed on-site and portions changed). And because of recommendations by residents made at the public meeting, changes have been made to Leveche to restrict parking at all times on the street, on Leveche south of Maple Grove parking is restricted on the west side. Qadri said there were requests made to add more streets to the pilot project. But to keep the number of affected streets manageable at this time those requests will be considered in the future if the pilot project is deemed to be a success.

Qadri said. “It is anticipated that this entire project will be completed by the end of June 2018.” But while the street closure target date appears off-limits at this point, the deadline for public comment on the linear park will be extended.
“The deadline for design comments has been extended until Nov. 30,” Qadri said. “Following the deadline of Nov. 30, comments will be consolidated and reviewed,” he added. The project involves Johnwoods St. being permanently closed to vehicular traffic from Maple Grove Road to Rosehill Avenue. Qadri told the Stittsville News that the Johnwoods St. project is unique, and there are no other streets in Stittsville targeted for a similar type of project.

Stittsville man faces jail time after ignoring ministry order BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Stittsville’s Kevin Cornell has been sentenced to 10 days in jail after a hearing in a Brockville court that was related to a previous Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry order that he rehabilitate shore lands that he had filled on Christie Lake near Perth. Along with being sentenced to 10 days in jail after Justice of the Peace Claire Winchester heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brockville in October, he has also been ordered to rehabilitate shore lands after failing to follow a previous order to rehabilitate those same shore lands. Cornell was found guilty of breach
of a probation order issued under the Provincial Offences Act and sentenced to 10 days in jail. A new probation order was issued for a year with the condition that he rehabilitate shore lands on Christie Lake. According to a statement by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the court heard that Cornell had previously been convicted of filling shore lands on Christie Lake without a work permit and failing to obey a stop work order back in April 2015. “He had been fined $25,000 and ordered to rehabilitate the filled area. Since then, Cornell failed to submit a rehabilitation plan to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and rehabilitate the shore lands as required by the condition of the pre-
vious probation order,” the ministry statement said. “The $25,000 fine is quite a large fine for this kind of thing,” Jeff Bendig of the ministry’s Kemptville Enforcement Unit told the Stittsville News. Bendig said Cornell, a Stittsville resident, owns property at the site in question. According to the Christie Lake Association, Christie Lake is located in Lanark County, approximately 15 km southwest of Perth. Typical of the Canadian Shield, the watershed is characterized by thin soils and areas of exposed bedrock. The lake has a long, irregular shoreline, with rocky outcrops and steep cliffs dominating most of the northern and southern shoreline.
Help needed for outdoor community ice rink The outdoor skating rink at Bryanston Gate needs a new rink supervisor for this winter season. Those interested must be at least 14 years of age. The position involves supervising the
site/change hut for a minimum of 20 hours and max of 30 hours weekly. There is a grant available for the supervision contract. Interested residents should email Shawna at Shaw-
na.Gryszkiewicz@ottawa.ca. Alin Yusuf did supervision duties last year after the possibility that the rink’s hut would be shuttered without supervision. — Brian Dryden

Royals lose to Canadians and Panthers SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It was not a good week for the Richmond Royals of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. The Royals dropped two games: a 5-3 loss to the Ottawa Canadians at the Earl Armstrong Arena on Oct. 31 and then a 6-3 loss to the visiting Embrun Panthers at the Richmond arena on Nov. 5. In the Nov. 5 game against Embrun Panthers, the Royals fell behind 5-0 by the 6:55 mark of the second period before they got on the scoreboard themselves in the third period. The Royals scored three straight goals in the third period
to make it 5-3 before Embrun sealed the victory with an emptynet goal at the 18:16 mark. Ryan Pawlikowski scored two goals for the Royals in this game with Patrick Yates scoring the other. Joey Laird picked up two assists while Corey Symington and Matthew Sheets both earned one assist. Jean-Philippe Tourigny and William Anderson split the goaltending duties in this game for the Royals, with Jean-Philippe allowing the five straight Embrun goals before being replaced by William Anderson. Embrun Panthers had 40
shots on the Richmond net in this game while the Royals had 36 shots on the Embrun goal, 18 of them in the third period. On Tuesday, Oct. 31, the Royals lost 5-3 to the Ottawa Canadians. The Royals led 1-0 early in the game but Ottawa Canadians came back to tie up the game 1-1 before the end of the first period. The Canadians scored the only two goals of the second period to take a 3-1 lead into the third period. The Canadians added another goal early in the third period to take a 4-1 lead before the Royals replied with two straight goals to

Huskies undefeated
Honouring our Veterans
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS St. Mark lead to inga added to the
The Sacred Heart junior football Huskies are champions this season. The team did not play in a formal league due to only four teams suiting up at the junior level, but the Huskies did play a series of exhibition games against these other high school teams, which were St. Mark High School, Sir Wilfred Laurier High School and Ashbury College. In these exhibition games, the Huskies finished with an undefeated record to take the unofficial season championship. The Huskies came from behind to defeat the St. Mark High School Lions 15-8 in their final game of the season on Tuesday, Oct. 31. The Huskies were behind 8-0 at half time but did all the scoring in the second half to win by the 15-8 score. Running back Max Roxburgh scored a touchdown in the third quarter to cut the
8-6 going into the fourth quarter. In the fourth, Huskies quarterback Jack Buckley scrambled around before passing to Greg MacNeil in the end zone for the Huskies’ go-ahead touchdown. With the score 12-8 for the Huskies and time running out, Nicholas Crap-
total by kicking a 22-yard field goal, making the final score 15-8 for the Huskies. Next year, Sacred Heart will field a senior boys’ football team with many of this year’s junior players moving up to the senior competition where there is an official league.

This Remembrance Day marks the 99th passing year since the end of The Great War. We know it as the war that gave birth to Canada as a nation with a true national identity. We remember it as Canada’s bloodiest conflict. Every passing year we lose or physical connection to our military past, and that is why we cannot forget the horrors that the world once withstood. We cannot forget the tyranny that Canadians have fought and died to stop, to secure a free and peaceful world. This year, as we do every year, we turn our attention to those that serve and that have served. They come from all over, our family, our friends, our neighbors, our fellow Canadians; we thank them for their service and self-sacrifice. We will remember them.

Take time to remember
R
emembrance Day falls on a Saturday this year, so we can expect even larger turnouts than ever at the various Remembrance ceremonies around the region, including the service at the National War Memorial at Confederation Square in downtown Ottawa. But Saturday or not, Remembrance Day services have been attracting more and more in recent years as appreciation for the service of those in the Armed Forces both in the past and today continues to grow. The 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge marked earlier this year further enhanced our view of the sacrifices made in battle by so many thousands of young Canadian soldiers on that muddy battlefield a century ago. Indeed, many claim that Canada came of age as a nation due to battles like Vimy and Passchendaele in the First World War. It has taken decades, though, for Canadians in general to realize the horrors of war which these soldiers endured, battling in overseas lands to protect our freedom and democracy here in Canada. Slowly, there has been increasing awareness of these wartime — and peacetime — sacrifices by Canadian soldiers. So, today it is not unusual to hear a soldier in uniform, perhaps riding a bus, being thanked for his or her service or someone in conversation thanking a person for his or her service when learning of their
military involvement. In this world of terrorism and war in so many places around the world, there is now evolving an ever-increasing respect and admiration for those who are putting their lives on the line to protect our way of life in Canada. But Remembrance Day is serving yet another function as well. It serves to focus the attention of Canadians on their country and how fortunate we as Canadians are to live in such a free and open society where people can pursue their dreams and aspirations. So Remembrance Day, while a time of sombre remembrance, is also a time of reflective celebration, knowing that thanks to the sacrifices and efforts of so many, we are a country where the rule of law and respect for all prevail. We are fortunate to live in such a country and we must never forget that Canada is what it is today because so many died and so many more have served on the battlefields of Europe, Korea and elsewhere in the world. We are a country formed by the experiences of war but, thankfully, are not adherents of such warlike behaviour. Knowing our history and, more importantly, remembering it must never be lost. Respecting Remembrance Day is one way of ensuring this as the years go on.
Who’s ready for legalized pot? How about nobody?
A
s we lurch toward the July 1 celebration of marijuana becoming legal in Canada, we encounter confusing signposts along the way. For example, just the other day it was announced that a giant U.S. liquor company will partner with a Smiths Falls company to make cannabisinfused drinks. Already such drinks, with fruity flavours to appeal to young people, are on sale in U.S. states where marijuana is legal. Drinkable marijuana: did anybody think about that when legalization was being hailed? Given that there is already edible marijuana, the cookies, gummy bears and, yes, cotton candy already in production, one of the major drawbacks to marijuana use — having to smoke it — is being removed. So more people will be able to use it easily. Including more kids.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Another signpost: 58.5 per cent of Canadians in a recent survey said they had concerns about children and youth having greater access to recreational marijuana when it is legal. This despite the federal government’s claim that legalization of marijuana will make it somehow less available to young people. Interestingly, the drinkable marijuana story coincides with another news item, in which the federal Liberal government announces a five-year, $36.4-million campaign to help teach Canadians — especially young Canadians ones — about the health and safety
risks of using marijuana. Perhaps that has something to do with the opposition of addiction-research people to legalization and concerns expressed in the medical community about the effects of marijuana on young brains. Here’s another signpost: Richmond, B.C. city council has voted unanimously to send a letter to the provincial and federal governments outlining its opposition to legalization. The council is asking for jurisdiction to impose stricter rules, and to allow councils and landlords to bar marijuana use in their buildings. “The federal government is going to do what they’re going to do,” said one councillor. “But we as a city must be allowed to control where and how those products are being sold.” Richmond’s statement is but one example of the peculiar governmental framework surrounding legalization — namely, that the federal govern-

Village Square glows with pumpkins despite rain BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
It rained on this year’s pumpkin parade in Stittsville. A steady rain fell on Wednesday evening, Nov. 1, but in some ways it just added to the aura of the event as the assembled jack-o'lanterns glowed not only in the darkness of the night but also in the shimmering reflections of the rain-dampened and leafcovered grounds of Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville. It could have been a Mary Poppins reunion with so many umbrellas present at the park. Pumpkins were lined up side-by-side for this year’s event, with powered candles provided to allow them to glow as they sat in the area in front of the station building. The carving on many was exquisite, with expressive eyes, teeth-featured smiles and carved noses and ears. There was one carved to be just one large eyeball. There were a couple of white ones. There were ones with unique carved features like the Goul-

To help onlookers overcome the rainy conditions and enjoy this event which has become a highlight of the fall season in Stittsville, Quitters Coffee had hot chocolate on site for everyone to enjoy — a warming treat on such a rainy evening. The jack-o'lanterns on display in this pumpkin parade were judged by a people’s choice balloting, with every entry being given a number which was displayed with the pumpkin. Votes were entered using the pumpkin’s number. First place winner in the adult category was J.M. Begin. The prizes included one from Covered Bridge Brewery as well as a $100 gift card from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. Second place in the adult category went to the entry of Todd Sinclair. In the kids’ category, Connor Yutrankie’s entry received the most votes.

old event, thanked everyone who displayed their jacko'lanterns and who turned out for this year’s pumpkin parade despite the wet weather. He also thanked Quitters Coffee and Ottawa councillor Shad Qadri for their support along with the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library, which offered stories for kids in the log barn at Village Square Park and Sue Bird who made her log barn available for the event. Trevor also thanked the local businesses which provided the prizes for this year’s parade. Qadri, in his remarks at the event, thanked Trevor and his family for once again organizing this Stittsville pumpkin parade, noting that there is a lot of work involved in such a community event. When the event was over at 7 p.m., the jack-o'lanterns, having contributed one last evening of flickering fun for every onlooker’s enjoyment, had their candles removed and then were tossed into an on-site waste bin in which they would be transported to their final resting place.

Lori Holloway finds peace connecting with nature and with herself while strolling outside. Growing up with five siblings was fun, but she always found peace when she could walk alone in nature to collect her thoughts. Maria Pemberton’s idea of peace is staying fit and knowing that by taking good care of herself, she can take care of those who matter most in her life, namely her husband and her two children. Ann Seymour feels peace knowing that her family is healthy and happy. She encouraged club members to take a moment and count their own blessings.

The local Alzheimer Society has changed its name, but not its mission
The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County has a new name! After 35 years of supporting local families living with dementia, the local non-profit organization has changed its name to “The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County” to more properly reflect the constituency it helps and the scope of its expertise. When the organization first came into being, Alzheimer’s disease was the best known and most prevalent form of dementia. This has changed and Alzheimer’s disease is now thought to represent less than 30% of all dementias.* “Our organization has always worked with people challenged by Lewy Body, Frontotemporal, Vascular, Parkinsonian and other dementias but this has not been reflected in our name,” says Paddy Bowen, Chief Executive Director of the newly named The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. “We are also cognizant of the growing tide of interest in dementia as reflected by the recently announced Ontario Dementia Strategy and the National Dementia Strategy.” The Dementia Society is here to help. We offer: • One to one support • Social programs • Peer support • Information and resources • Education Because no one should face dementia alone. To learn more about dementia as well as the programs and services offered by The Dementia Society, please visit www.dementiahelp.ca or contact us at info@dsorc.org or 613-523-4004 in Ottawa or 1-888-411-2067 in Renfrew County. *The majority of dementia cases are now thought to be “mixed” vs. Alzheimer’s disease only: i.e. 60% of dementia cases are attributed to Alzheimer’s disease. 30 – 50% of those also have other forms of dementia present.

Rain outside but music inside at St. Thomas Church SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Outside raindrops were filling the air but inside music filled the air. And the music was provided by six choirs who each provided vocal musical performances in what was called “A Choired Afternoon” on Sunday, Oct. 29 at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. The grand finale and a highlight of this musical afternoon was the performance of these six combined choirs who, directed by Linda Crawford of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers along with accompanist Josh Zentner-Barrett, performed Oscar Peterson’s “Hymn to Freedom” followed by “The Irish Blessing.” There were choir members from wall to wall, filling up the front of the church, for this rousing conclusion to this 75 minute afternoon of music. The six choirs which performed in this “A Choired Afternoon” included the host St. Thomas Anglican Church choir, the Ottawa Harmony Singers, the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church choir of Stittsville, Rare Blend, the All
Saints’ Westboro/St. Matthias Anglican Church choir and the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. The St. Thomas Anglican Church choir, under the direction of Patricia Brush with accompanist Naomi Watson-Laird, opened the afternoon with three songs including the inspiring and always popular “Amazing Grace.” The Ottawa Harmony Singers, also directed by Patricia Brush with Kellina Gehrels as the accompanist, sang three familiar old favourites, “Side By Side,” “Sunrise Sunset” and “When You Wore a Tulip.” This group began as a group of Dutch Canadian singers in 1953, becoming the Dutch Choral Society in 1956. In 2008, it switched to a more varied musical repertoire under the new name the Ottawa Harmony Singers. The nine voices of the choir of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church of Stittsville, accompanied by Eleanor O’Connor, finished up their twosong performance with the lively “And all the people said Amen.” Rare Blend, a six-member female ensemble which was formed in 2001, is known for performing its own arrangements and that’s what
it did at this “A Choired Afternoon,” with all three of its musical offerings being its own arrangements. A flute and piano were the accompanying instruments. The All Saints’ Westboro/St. Matthias Anglican Church choir, formed when the two churches united, presented “When in Our Music God Is Glorified,” an 18th century melody which featured organ accompaniment, along with “For the Beauty of the Earth” with piano accompaniment. The 31-voice Goulbourn Jubilee Singers choir which performed at this “ A Choired Afternoon” sang “Ubi Caritas,” a Latin piece, along with Gordon Lightfoot’s “Song for a Winter’s Night.” Another attraction of this “A Choired Afternoon” was an organ solo by Deirdre Piper who played “A Trumpet Minuet.” Dierdre has been active with the Royal Canadian College of Organists, having served as president of the Ottawa Centre group and also chair of the membership committee of the national group. This “A Choired Afternoon” was held as a fundraiser for the Stittsville Food Bank and raise funds it did. At the end of the day, a total of $1,500 was raised for the Stittsville Food Bank. In addition, three large bins of non-perishable food items were col-
lected. Theresa Qadri, chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, in her remarks at the event, said that the Stittsville Food Bank is a way that the community can help those who are in need of a helping hand. This help may be needed because of a lost job, a sick family member, a sick child, lack of a pension, falling behind in paying bills or other reasons. The Food Bank is there so that there can be food on the table in such situations. This first-ever “A Choired Afternoon” came about after a suggestion for such a multi-choir choral afternoon was made during the ecumenical Good Friday Walk in Stittsville earlier this year. Pat McNally, who served as the MC for the event, suggested in his concluding remarks at the event that perhaps such a multi-choir afternoon of music may happened again in the future.

Students from Spain at Sacred Heart on exchange BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
John Curry/Metroland
Involved with the cultural exchange program involving Spain and Canada at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville are (from left) Sacred Heart student Olivia Lefond, Spanish student Luca Marta Tena and Sacred Heart student Hannah Sullivan.
There’s a little bit of Spain at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville this fall. That’s because there are several students from Spain at the school on a cultural exchange program, with their Canadian host students going to travel to Spain in the new year to spend three months there. Grande 11 students Olivia Lefond and Olivia Rehman and Grade 12 student Hannah Sullivan are three of the host students at Sacred Heart this fall. Hannah Sullivan is hosting Lucas Marta Tena, 15, a student from Zaragoza in northeast Spain. Lucas want-
ed to come to Canada on the student exchange program not only for the experience of being in Canada, but also to improve his English. Lucas’ home high school in Spain is smaller than Sacred Heart and is both an elementary school and a high school. In Spain, high school is not semestered like at Sacred Heart but sees students take 10 mostly academic courses each school year. At Sacred Heart, Lucas is taking four courses while keeping up online with his classes at home in Spain. “I want to see the different things of Canada,” Lucas says, noting that he has taken several trips to area attractions since arriving at the end of August.

Patricia Guerrero is staying with Sacred Heart Grade 11 student Olivia Rehman. She also is on this student exchange in order to learn how to speak English better. She notes that basketball is very popular in her high school in Spain. Olivia Rehman wanted to be involved in this cultural exchange program so she could learn how to speak Spanish. In addition, she wants to study international business in university and her Spanish experience should help with this. She and Patricia have had several excursions and outings together since Patricia arrived near the end of August. This has included trips to the beach and shopping mall as well as to a concert and canoeing. Olivia Lefond, a Grade 11 student at Sacred Heart who is hosting another Spanish student, attended an assembly about this cultural exchange program last spring.

Horticultural Society members told about gardening joy SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Gardening can result not only in joy but in continuous joy. Yes, that’s right — a garden can provide you with year-round happiness and delight. And your joy can begin with the planning of your garden, looking at seed catalogues and dreaming of what will be. This message of the continuous joy generated by gardening was delivered at the October meeting of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticutural Society by guest speaker Rob Stuart who is a master gardener with the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton. Stuart gave lots of gardening tips while also talking about numerous flowers and shrubs. He urged gardeners to label plants when they put them in the ground so that you know what is growing and what colour the blooms will be. When planning your garden, you can choose one colour scheme using a variety of plants in that colour, or you can go for a variety of colours.
Adding new items to your garden like water your garden so that you can enjoy the view of features is a good way to transition to full sum- them in the wintertime. mer gardening. Flowers mentioned included violets, tulips, Stuart said that a Japanese-style garden offers crocuses, daffodils, peonies, lilacs, forsythia, peace and tranquility but takes a lot of maintenance. He noted that a garden is interesting and urged gardeners to take time to be amazed by their garden, walking around the garden early in the morning and late at night. He suggested that herbs can be added to planters in the summer, providing texture, scents, contrast and colours. Stuart emphasized that it does not matter if your garden’s style is formal or informal, as long as you enjoy it. Your gardening joy can begin in the winter, talking to neighbours, family and friends, checking out magazines and television show and looking at books like “Blooms”, an illustrated history of the ornamental gardens at the Central Experimental Farm. He also suggested placing Christmas lights in

Stittsville’s Tysen Lefebvre is getting closer to his million dollar fundraising goal all the time and it’s going to get a big boost from his first Tysen’s Mission to a Million Jeans, Jersey and Jewels Gala. This gala at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata on Saturday, Nov. 11 will be kicking off the home stretch of his Mission’s journey to raise one million dollars to fund 100 wishes for children facing life threatening illnesses through Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. So far, Tysen has raised close to $680,000 for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, funding 68 wishes as each wish typically costs $10,000. This gala will set Tysen’s Mission on its way to raising the rest of the funds needed for his million dollar goal to be attained. Tysen launched his Mission to a Million on Oct. 29, 2013, establishing a five year plan to raise one million dollars in total, with $200,000 to be raised each year through to Oct. 29, 2018. Tysen established his Mission to a Million campaign after his own wish was granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. On his wish, he travelled to Los Angeles where he met his idol Adam Sandler. After meeting Adam in person and seeing all of the good that he had done and continues to do for others, Tysen was inspired to make a difference himself and this led to the launching of his Mission to a Million campaign. Tysen has become an inspiration to many through his Mission to a Million. He has received numerous awards not only locally but also on the national and international levels.
These include Stittsville’s Youth Citizen of the Year Award, the Kind Ottawa Kindness Award, the Canadian Living “Me to We” Community Award, the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year award, the Celebration of the People Youth Award, CTV’s Amazing Person of the Year award, a City of Ottawa Mayor’s Builder Award, the Make-A-Wish International Most Inspiring Act of Kindness Award, the Governor General’s Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteering, the Spirit of the Capital Max Keeping Award for Personal Courage and Shaw Canada’s 50 Outstanding Canadians award. Tysen was also named as one of the Real Leaders Top 100 Worldwide Visionary Leaders Under 30 Years Old. All of the funds raised for Tysen’s Mission to a Million go directly to Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tysen’s Mission to a Million Jeans, Jersey and Jewels Gala in support of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario happens this Saturday, Nov. 11 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. A cocktail hour at 5 p.m. is followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m., after which there will be a dance. Cost of tickets is $150 per person. For tickets, visit makeawisheo.ca/tmmgala. Tysen was born in July 2000 with a clover leaf skull and fused elbows. He was soon diagnosed with Pfeiffer Syndrome Type 2, a genetic disorder that in his case has caused a number of issues such as obstructed sleep apnea, hearing loss and mobility issues. He continues to undergo surgeries that started when he was just nine days old. But despite his own person medical struggles,

Long time farms to be recognized Old-Fashioned Christmas Market SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Throughout the year, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society (GTHS) has been busy collecting information on local farms to discover the families who have been working the land for 150 years. This was presented as a Canada 150 idea at the Society’s annual general meeting last January. It was brought to the Society’s attention as a possible project by member Ian White. Joan Darby and Lesley McKay took on the work with much determination. Through their research, it was revealed that four families have been farming the same land in Goulbourn for 150 years. Some have been doing so for well over 150 years. The four families are Anderson, Dawson, Hobbs
and Kenny. All of these farms exist within the boundaries of the former Goulbourn Township. During the research, it was learned that the Junior Farmers of Ontario (JFO) made Canada 150 signs available for sale to farm families who wanted to have this recognition proudly displayed at their farm gate. In collaboration with Quintina Cuddihy of JFO, the GTHS purchased Canada 150 signs for each of the farm families in gratitude for their hard work and historical significance. GTHS also purchased new Century Farm signs for all four of the farms to replace those signs that had become damaged or disappeared. The Canada 150 and new Century Farm signs have now been received. In apprecia-
tion of the accomplishment by the Anderson, Dawson, Hobbs and Kenny families, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society is thanking each family personally. With this in mind, GTHS is holding a reception for them on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Grace Thompson meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. At this reception, the GTHS in association with the Junior Farmers of Ontario will be presenting the Canada 150 signs to the families. Everyone in the community is welcome to come out and help GTHS celebrate and thank these local farmers and their families for the work they do and for the length of time they have been doing it.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
‘Calling all Christmas shoppers! You can get a jump on your Christmas shopping by dropping into the OldFashioned Christmas and Outdoor Artisan Market being hosted by the Goulbourn Museum on Sunday, Nov. 19. This annual holiday celebration features local artisans, baked goodies, entertainment and festive crafts. This event takes place on Sunday, Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. but please note that this year’s event has been relocated to the former Goulbourn municipal building at 2135 Huntley Rd. That’s because the museum itself
at Stanley’s Corners is still closed for renovations, requiring the relocation of the event just 350 metres south along Huntley Road at the former Goulbourn municipal building that is now called the Goulbourn Town Hall. Admission for this market is free. Vendors at the event will be selling an array of handmade gift items including heirloom preserves, baked goodies, natural soaps and candles, stained glass, children’s clothing, toys, pottery, woodwork, jewelry, textiles, dog treats and more. Families will be able to pose for a photo with Santa (yes, the jolly gentleman will be present). Youngsters will be able
to pen letters to the North Pole with help from the Calligraphy Society of Ottawa and will also be able to try their hand at vintage holiday crafts, while everyone will be able to watch a bona fide blacksmith at work.
There will be Christmas music and free hot chocolate and apple cider. You will be able to roast marshmallows by the fire and buy fresh oven-fired pizza from Pizza All’Antica for a tasty lunch.
Book, bake sale in Munster SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Saturday, Nov. 18 is “B” time in Munster.

Music filled the Richmond Legion hall on Saturday evening, Nov. 4. It was not just any music but rather was bagpipe music presented by the Richmond Legion’s Eric Booth at the conclusion of the legion’s annual Remembrance dinner. In what has become a branch tradition, bagpiper Booth, dressed in his kilt, presented 10 minutes of non-stop music, followed by the playing of Quebecois tunes after asking the dinner’s guest speaker and his wife
for any requests. This was followed by bagpiper Booth participating in a “Toast to the Piper” with legion member Jack Lemyre before concluding the performance with another series of tunes. This bagpipe musical performance wrapped up the Remembrance dinner which saw warrant officer Daniel Marcotte as the guest speaker. In his remarks at the dinner, he reminded everyone that while it is important to remember at Remembrance time those who have served

and given their lives in the service of their country, it is also important to remember all of the families who have lost a loved one through service in the military. He pointed out that while soldiers leave family and friends behind while going off to serve their country, it is the families left behind who also sacrifice by giving up a loved one so that others can enjoy their freedom. He said soldiers rely on the support of their families, saying that it is impossible for soldiers to carry out their duties without such family support. Marcotte used his own experience to illustrate this point, saying that when he volunteered to serve in Afghanistan, as he wanted to make a difference, his wife Mona Woodard was always supportive, even though this meant that she had to take care of everything on the home front, both shielding their children from the reality of the war in Afghanistan while also shielding him from what was going on back home. He said that his deployment in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008 was the first exposure in his career to front line combat conditions and working in such conditions saw him develop a new respect for such soldiers. His duty in Afghanistan was to keep surveillance drones flying 24 hours a day. See VETERAN’S SCROLL, page 29

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
November 9, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Future Park and Rides to Service Stittsville I would like to take a moment to provide an update regarding future Park and Ride (P&R) sites near Stittsville. I frequently hear from residents that the P&Rs currently available do not meet the needs of Stittsville residents. As such, I have continued to work with OC Transpo and the City’s Transportation Department to provide more P&R options to residents, such as the Canadian Tire Place Park and Ride partnership providing 100 spaces (can be expanded as needed) for commuters to use. In addition, the City recently upgrade the Carp Road Park and Ride which provided approximately 35 more parking spaces. In the Fernbank Community Design Plan there are 3 Transit stations including park and rides identified which would service Stittsville and the surroundings area. In the demonstration plan available at shadqadri.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/fernbankcdp-march-2017.pdf , you can see the locations of these noted as a ‘T’. Below is additional information on each site. Please note that Transportation staff have provide these timelines as estimates and that there is still the potential that these timelines will change in the future. • Hazeldean / Robert Grant (Highest Priority) o Located at the future intersection of Hazeldean Road and Robert Grant Avenue. Park and Ride is located both north and south of Hazeldean Road. Area of land north of Hazeldean Road is between the Shops of Fairwinds Plaza (Toys R Us) and the Grant Plaza (Lowes). o Approx. 325 spaces to the north, and 325 spaces to the south o Subject to affordability this could be funded sometime in the 2021-2022 timeframe. o Current development application underway for the south portion at 5618 Hazeldean Road. I am working to explore any potential partnership opportunities with the developer of this site and the Transportation and Planning Department to bring this project forward to an earlier timeline. • Abbott Street /Robert Grant o Southeast corner of the intersection and south of the Trans Canada Trail o Approx. 250 spaces o Timing of construction will depend on funding/ affordability. It is not within the current 3-yr forecast window, and would likely be around 2024. • Fernbank Road / Robert Grant o Northeast corner of this intersection o Approx. 200 spaces o Timing of construction will depend on funding/ affordability. It is not within the current 3-yr forecast window, and would likely be around 2024.

There have been requests for a delay to the closure and at this time there are no plans to delay the closure of the road. It is anticipated that this entire project will be completed by the end of June 2018. Some residents have also requested an extension to the comment deadline for the design details of the pathway. As such, the deadline for pathway design comments has been extended until November 30th, 2017.

Julie Payette as well as representatives of the government of Canada will attend the ceremony.

VIEWING
Spectators are encouraged to come early to the National War Memorial to get a good vantage point. The ceremony will also be projected on jumbo screens set up around the memorial with numerous speakers broadcasting the audio of the entire ceremony.

History of the poppy ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION
Each November, poppies bloom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians. The significance of the poppy can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. Records from that time indicate how thick poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. Fields that had been barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. During the tremendous bombardments of the war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing the popaver rhoeas to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the poppy began to disappear again. The person who first introduced the poppy to Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ont., a Canadian medical officer during the First World War. McCrae penned the poem “In Flanders Fields” on a scrap of paper in May, 1915 on the day following the death of a fellow soldier. Little did he know those 13 lines would become enshrined in the hearts and minds of all who would wear them. McCrae’s poem was published in Punch Magazine in December of that same year, and the poem later served as inspiration three years later for Moina Michael, an American teacher. Michael made a pledge to always wear a poppy as a sign of Remembrance. During a visit to the United States in
1920, a French woman named Madame Guerin learned of the custom. Guerin decided to make and sell poppies to raise money for children in war-torn areas of France. The Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada (our predecessor) officially adopted the poppy as its Flower of Remembrance on July 5, 1921. Today, the poppy is worn each year during the Remembrance period to honour Canada’s Fallen. The Legion also encourages the wearing of a poppy for the funeral of a veteran and for any commemorative event honouring fallen veterans. It is not inappropriate to wear a poppy during other times to commemorate fallen veterans and it is an individual choice to do so, as long as it’s worn appropriately. Thanks to the millions of Canadians who wear the Legion’s lapel poppy each November, the little red flower has never died, and the memories of those who fell in battle remain strong.

Submit a photo for Virtual Wall Pilgrimage of Remembrance As a way to honour and remember relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a deceased veteran to Dominion Command to be displayed on large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony held on Nov. 11. Deceased Canadian veterans (including those who were part of the merchant navy and ferry command), whose death was attributable to any cause before or after they served, can be part of the Virtual Wall of Honour. • Include high resolution electronic files or high resolution photo prints (the quality of the image submitted dictates the quality of the image displayed). • Include the veteran’s name, years of service, element or force, regiment/unit to which the departed belonged. • One image for each honoured veteran will be used • No original photographs, service records or other documentation please; they cannot be

returned. Submissions will be included in the 2018 edition. Send photos to the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, 86 Aird Place, Ottawa ON, K2L 0A1 or RememberingThem@legion. ca.
The Royal Canadian Legion Pilgrimage of Remembrance began in 1928 with a visit to Vimy, France, for the unveiling of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Since that time, promoting a pilgrimage has been a part of our efforts to encourage Remembrance. Pilgrimages are conducted every two years. The next Pilgrimage of Remembrance is scheduled for July, 2019. Please note the Legion’s Pilgrimage is conducted
in English. Individuals wishing to attend the pilgrimage should indicate their interest to the Dominion Command Coordinator, Danny Martin: dmartin@legion.ca Today’s pilgrimage encompasses some of the most important, as well as some of the least known, events of the First World War and the Second World War. Over 15 days, pilgrims experience being in the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy, and visit sites throughout Northern France and Belgium. They also experience the emotions of the Veterans, and of those they liberated. Ceremonies of Remembrance will be conducted at the cemeteries where so many Canadians found their final rest-
ing place. Taking a pilgrimage is important for a variety of reasons. For those who fought on the battlefields, a pilgrimage provides an opportunity to not only visit their fallen comrades, but for closure that may only be possible through revisiting the site(s) of so many memories. For those who lost family and loved ones on the fields, a pilgrimage is a way to shorten the distance between home and the site of their loss. For people who only connect with the battlefields through history books and our Canadian heritage, visiting these sites is an opportunity to more fully understand the sacrifices that were made by many for the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.
Time to remember the sacrifices of so many — Vous n’êtes pas oublié(e)s!

‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household
T
here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew County. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone! The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat “biscuits,” divided by
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the
biscuits wouldn’t be broken. I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with string. I could spend many an hour just
sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that.
And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the
My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would
have to tear it down into flat pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the morning. Like everything else that came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite sayings “waste not ... want not” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came into our house.

What’s up, doc, around the village of Stittsville? Residents in Richmond have likely noticed some activity near Fortune Street and Martin Street. This is the beginning of work along Martin Street to install a new sanitary trunk sewer in order to connect the new housing projects in the Western Development Lands to the existing forcemain in the village. Greenbelt Construction is undertaking the work on behalf of the developer, Caivan Communities. While this is not a City-led construction project, the City does have a project manager that will oversee the work and respond to concerns. We have been working on the use of Arbuckle Park, off Fortune Street. The contractor is in the process of getting a culvert installed in order to access the Martin Street road allowance from the opposite side of the municipal drain and to set up their site office on that side, away from the park. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

The City is inviting children and youth, who are 16 years of age and under, to name the 34 O-Train Confederation Line train cars and the 6 O-Train Trillium Line train cars. The Name the Trains Contest will run from November 2nd to December 8th. To enter the contest, please visit octranspo.com/ready4rail.

There will be a paved inventory parking area as well as a number of parking spaces. The site is currently being used as a temporary sales office and automotive sales lot by the Canadian Auto Mall, which is located to the east on the other side of Poole Creek. *For anyone wondering about the status and future of the big red Bradley-Craig barn on Hazeldean Road, the de-

veloper/owner Richcraft has until this January to demolish and relocate the barn to Saunders Farm, otherwise the approval to do so lapses. The approval requires that plans be submitted to the city for approval prior to any demolition and relocation taking place. If the city does not receive plans for demolition and relocation by the end of January, the barn’s heritage designation remains in place. *The City of Ottawa has launched an awareness campaign to increase public knowledge of the green flashing lights that are used by volunteer firefighters when rushing to a local fire hall to respond to an emergency call. As a courtesy, motorists are asked to allow these vehicles with a green flashing light on the dash to pass quickly. Ottawa’s 470 volunteer firefighters use these green flashing lights for their personal vehicles to alert fellow motorists to their presence and their need to move quickly to reach the fire hall as fast as possible. Every second counts, so if motorists pull over, the volunteer firefighter can get to the fire hall sooner and then transfer into a fire vehicle to respond to the emergency. The Highway Traffic Act allows volunteer firefighters to display a flashing green light when responding to an emergency situation. Similar green light programs exist in communities across North America which are served by volunteer firefighters. *The Stittsville Village Association is looking for nominations for its Volunteer Award. The award is meant to recognize a person who has worked as a volunteer in the community. For more information, check out the website http://www.stittsvilleva.com/ uncategorized/nominations-open-forvolunteer-of-the-year/. *JoJo’s Pizza on Stittsville Main Street is hosting a movie day on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 10 a.m. There’s free

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 An emotional encounter that you have with someone close to you gives you clarity and peace of mind, Aries. This is the catalyst for making personal changes that improve your life.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Optimism abounds this week, Leo. You are ready to tackle any project big or small. Even though you may feel like you can take on the world, enlist a few helpers.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your great imagination often causes you to be the life of any gathering, Sagittarius. This week you may have to let others’ creativity take center stage.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it’s good to want to help others. But do not let someone take advantage of your generosity. Be as accommodating as you can and then communicate your feelings.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Safeguard your personal information, Virgo, because not everyone you meet is on the up and up. Be cautious without being suspicious and things will turn out fine.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Changes, particularly early in the week, will do you good, Capricorn. Rearrange the furniture or even try out a new hairstyle for some new perspective.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, spend time fixing up your home this week or doing things that are geared around family. This is a great time for parents and children or even extended family to get together.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, remain tight-lipped about a positive development. You won’t have to stay silent forever, but wait a little longer to share the news.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Hoping and wishing for something without taking any action will not lead to satisfaction, Cancer. Figure out what you hope to achieve and then work toward that goal.
