Stittsville residents who live near the intersection of Johnwoods and Rosehill roads gathered Sunday afternoon to unveil a mock welcome to “Autoroute Rosehill Expressway” sign that pokes fun at a city plan to close off a section of Johnwoods to vehicle traffic. But while the mocking tone of the poke at the city plan had an aspect of humour to it, what was underlining their protest on Nov. 12 was deadly serious to the residents — the safety of their neighbourhood.

sticks have been placed in the centre of Rosehill which residents say they’ve been told will help slow down traffic. But not everyone thinks the flex sticks will have much impact, including Mike Lomond, who lives on Rosehill. “I don’t know why they think it’s a good idea to do this,” Lomond said of the city’s plan. One of the issues that angers local residents is that they do not feel there was proper community consultation before deciding to go forward with the plan. “We did not learn anything about this until there was a community meeting held in May 2016 and we were basically told this is what is going to happen,” Gower said, adding, “it wasn’t really a public consultation because it was already a done deal decided on by (city) staff.” “There was no consultation,” Lenz concurred. “We were told this is going to happen.” Brian Dryden/Metroland Instead, both Gower and Rochelle Buenviaje oversees a table where Stittsville residents concerned about safety Lenz say the only real input resissues surrounding the closure of a part of Johnwoods St. at Rosehill Ave. could sign a idents in the community have

had is about the possible design of a “linear park” or “pathway” that will emerge where the Johnwoods closure blocks off vehicle traffic. “We need this to be fully studied.” Lenz said of the impact of rerouting traffic in the area will have on safety in the surrounding community.
“I have heard from residents ... who both support and oppose this decision.” Coun. Shad Qadri
“We need these safety issues to be dealt with ahead of the closure,” Lenz said. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri did not attend the Nov. 12 protest. Qadri told the Stittsville News previously that there are no other streets in Stittsville where a similar type of road closure to vehicle traffic is being considered. “Discussions regarding this closure began when the Kanata
Coun. Shad Qadri West Concept Plan was being discussed due to concerns with the traffic volumes on Johnwoods Street and the impact future development would have on the street,” Qadri told the News on Oct. 31. He added that he is aware there are concerns in the community about the project. “There are residents that are very engaged regarding this closure. I have heard from residents in the communities of Bryanston Gate and Fairwinds West/Poole Creek who both support and oppose this decision,” he said.

Concerns raised over student safety crossing streets near school
Hey kids, it’s time to make some Christmas cards
BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland
Now that Remembrance Day has passed, Christmas fever is starting to take hold in Stittsville where the local councillor is once again calling on kids in his ward to get to work on making Christmas cards. Qadri’s annual Christmas Card decorating contest is open to artists up to 12 years old who are encourged to enter their original Christmas cards. According to Qadri, the four winning entries will be included as part of his online Christmas Greeting for 2017. Qadri calls it “an exciting chance for an aspiring young artists’ creativity” to capturev the spirit of the season.
Office of Shad Qadri
Christmas fever is starting to take hold in Stittsville, where Coun. Shad Qadri’s annual children’s Christmas card contest is now underway. Deadline for entries is Nov. 27. Those making submissions are asked to try and avoid using glitter and stickers on their cards. Entries can be dropped off at Qadri’s ward office at the Goulbourn Rec Complex (1500 Shea Rd.) . If the office is closed when dropoping off, the art work can be sli under then office door. As well, enteries can be mailed to City Hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W.,
K1P 1J1, care of Coun. Qadri. The contest winners, and prizes awaeded, will be announced at the Rec Centre at 9 :45 a.m., Dec. 2, during the annual Christmas Cookie Decorating and Santa Photo Session that will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. on that date. The deadline for submissions for the Christmas card contest is Nov. 27.
Concerns over the safety of students at Holy Spirit School crossing the street at the intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Beverly Street has prompted on on-site review of the situation by police, city transportation staff and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri. Qadri’s ward office has recieved numerous reports from parents and caregivers about vehicles not yieding the right-of-way to students trying to cross the road at a signalled crossing. “It was very concerning to hear and also witness drivers not providing the right-of-way to the students and their caregivers who were crossing when they had the legal right-of-way,” Qadri said of the on-site review. “It is imperative that drivers ensure they respect the rules of the road and keep pedestrians safe in our community,” Qadri said, adding there are also responsibilites that pedestrians also must take on.
“We also discussed the importance that pedestrians ensure they follow the rules of the road and only cross during the walk signal as well as dismounting from their bikes when crossing,” he said. “I have discussed this concern with the principal of Holy Spirit School and requested this message also be shared with the school community.” Following the on-site review, some actions are being taken and changes being made, including: • the crossing area had zebra markings painted on the north side of the intersection for the east-west pedestrian crossing to assist in increasing visibility to the crossing area to all users of the intersection, • a pedestrian conflict study was undertaken, • earlier this year school zone markings were placed on Stittsville Main Street in the vicinity of the school. As well, city staff will further review Beverly St. to determine if permanent traffic calming measures could be installed, which some residents of the area have suggested as a solution.

Two speakers provide inspiration at Girls Night Out by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was proclaimed as “an evening of inspiration, desserts and laughter” and that’s just what it was. The inspiration at this Girls Night Out held at the Community Bible Church in Stittsville came from the two guest speakers whose stories were accounts of overcoming challenging life situations. The desserts filled two tables at the rear of
the room, there for the 80 in attendance to enjoy both before and after the program. And laughter happened with the showing of two videos, one comparing the attitudes of men and women and the other with American humourist Jeanne Robertson who told about an opportunity to bungee jump in the nude. Speaker Solange Tuyishime, who has held several titles including Miss New Brunswick, Miss Canada International, Miss Galaxy Canada and currently Mrs. Canada 2017 and is a UNICEF Canada Ambassador, told about
growing up in Rwanda, fleeing the war and genocide there and becoming a refugee, sleeping in a tent and walking ten kilometres for water and eventually arriving in Canada to start a new life. She was grateful for everything in Canada, even little things like running water and a warm bed. She became Miss New Brunswick and when her story as a former refugee became known, she became a UNICEF Canada Ambassador, wanting to help children around the world. She went on to win a few more titles like Miss Canada International but more importantly these roles helped her learn about the generosity and kindness which Canadians have. She married and gave birth to triplets, a moment that she described as “one of the most magical moments in my life” as she witnessed three human beings come to life in a three-minute span. She thought it a miracle and came to believe that people experience miracles all the time but just do not notice them. Unfortunately, one of the triplets had problems and underwent seven hours of surgery in an attempt to save her. The baby, Naylah, died but her passing showed Solange that people can elevate each other in these dark moments of life. Consequently she wanted to become a vehicle of change, inspiring young women to pursue their dreams. She created Elevate Women, bringing together business women, philanthropists and others to work to elevate women in their own communities. She said that there are many ways that people can make this world a better place, advising
those present to take what the Lord has given them and ask themselves how does the Lord want them to be of service to others and make a difference. Speaker Elaine M. Grant, the Ottawa-based author of She’s Still Standing, gave an outline of her life from her birth and early years in Jamaica to arriving in Canada when she was 10, her experiences being molested as a teenager, and running away from home and becoming a stripper. This was followed by the birth of a daughter, drinking and drugs and depression and suicidal thoughts. She became a cosmetician, a single mother and then finding God and her life turned around. She went back to school and is a graduate of Cornerstone Academy of Biblical Studies. She now works part-time in the health industry, is a caregiver to her grandchildren and is part of a counselling ministry at the Transforming Life Centre. She is also a member of a group which gives advice and support to strippers. She attributes the turnaround in her life to God being there for her and to the love of those around her. Girls Night Out organizer Joanne Jehu, in her closing remarks at the event, said the two inspiring stories heard at the event show that “love never fails” and that strength can be found in the Lord. The “love never fails” theme was emphasized as the front of the meeting room featured the outline of a giant red heart, symbolizing the huge role that love can play in life.

Licence plate scanners make city’s roads safer
T
he city’s police force is seeking a budget increase that’s drawing some questions, but there’s one piece of equipment for Ottawa cops that should be a slam dunk. The police would like a second automated licence plate reader. Considering that the first reader used by our police caught 200 suspended drivers in its first year of operation, it’s a purchase everyone should support. The only people who might say otherwise are those caught driving when they shouldn’t be. The automated readers are mounted on police vehicles and “see” licence plates that pass nearby. The reader can check the plate number in a database and alert officers if a suspended or wanted driver may be on the road. It’s a privilege to drive, and police aren’t using the plate readers to track anyone’s movements, just taking a snapshot of a car at one
point in time. The process is not like a facial recognition scanner on a street, which could track who is where. That would never meet with Canadians’ support. The plate scanners do nothing more than a police officer could do with his or her own eyes and a laptop – just much faster. Keeping suspended drivers off the streets means we’re all safer. The next suspended driver caught could be a serial drunk driver – or any other driver who is motoring around town without liability insurance. The city nabbed 200 suspended drivers during the first year using a plate reader. While some may be purely administrative scofflaws, some will have been suspended drivers we don’t want behind the wheel. Without even knowing such a plate reader is out there on our streets, we’re all safer because of it. The police should take advantage of technology when it can make us safer while leaving us our freedoms.
Hockey is a business, just in case you forgot
T
hat’s it!” somebody I know said. “I’m not cheering for the Senators any more.” That, you will know, was reaction to the Kyle Turris trade. But it could have been reaction to the Jason Spezza trade, or the Senators letting Alfie go, or the Mike Fisher trade, or letting Chris Neil go. Events like this happen every couple of years and they shake the affection of the fans. Perhaps it reflects a gap in our lives, or perhaps it’s just that we develop an honest interest in the members of the team we cheer for. Either way, it’s a wrench for many when a favourite leaves town. Interestingly, the players themselves are less affected. When interviewed, they express sorrow at having to leave the team and the town but, they add, it’s a business. Their team-mates say the same thing: Hate

Trains run on Marmadale Wharf layout at library Special to the News
locomotives of the pre- and post-war period to the diesel locomotives of the 1950s and 1960s. There are also some more modern electric or diesel locomotives that are more familiar today. The several hundred fans who dropped in to view this Marmadale Wharf layout got to see trains running this way and that on a multitude of tracks, all controlled by several control panels accessible inside the rectangular layout. A half dozen or so
Ottawa British Group members kept watch on the rail action in the layout, serving as rail yard controllers by adjusting the speed or direction or composition of one of the trains running on the layout while also answering any questions or inquiries from visitors moving around the exterior of the layout. Indeed, the layout took up virtually all of the space in the Grace Thompson meeting room at the library branch, allowing only
enough room for a corridor around the exterior along which viewers could move and marvel at the detail and meticulous arrangement of the model railway layout. There were village shops, streets, vehicles and even a canoeist adding atmosphere to this Marmadale Wharf layout, making it more than just a model railway layout. It was a village in itself, a community catering to and served by this multi-tracked railway layout. Walking into
Stittsville was once a railway town. It became a railway town again on Nov. 3, 4 and 5 when the Ottawa British model railway group came to the community and set up its Marmadale Wharf layout at the Stittsville library branch. And what a layout! It provided a glimpse of a diverse British scene, ranging from an industrial sector to a main line station to an English seaside village to a game of cricket being played on a village green to the wharf after which the layout is named. There also was a coal mine, all in a post-war England period. The multiple rail lines in this model railway layout travel over a river and past a beach, a fishing village and a harbour. There is a staging yard and a main line station with access to a locomotive-servicing area with an operating turntable leading to locomotive parking spots. This Marmadale Wharf layout features an industrial area with numerous sidings. There’s a local rail line running up a long grade to a raised coal mine with a local station providing shunting and freight Submitted handling. The locomotives, all Roger Gough (left) of the Ottawa British model railway group checks out the of an appropriate scale operation of a model train on the group’s “Marmadale Wharf” layout which was model, range from steam set up at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Nov. 3, 4 and 5.
the Grace Thompson meeting room with this model railway layout set up in it was like entering into a miniature fantasy world, a scale-model version of a world where trains were still king. The layout, which is a regular exhibit at area model railway shows as well as at special shows at halls and library branches such as this show at the Stittsville branch, takes the Ottawa British Group members about two and a half hours to set up. It is usually exhibited six to eight times a year. This Ottawa British Marmalade Wharf layout is a 00 gauge model train layout. OO refers to the gauge of the track on which the model trains run. Gauge is the distance between the steel rails of the track. 00 gauge and the American H0 gauge trains run on the same track although the scale of the model trains themselves is slightly dif-
ferent. 00 gauge is the most popular standardgauge model railway track size in the United Kingdom. Scale and gauge may at first seem to be interchangeable terms, but their meanings are different. Scale is the model’s measurement as a proportion to the original train while gauge is the measurement between the rails on which the model train operates. Model railway enthusiasts not only collect model trains, but build a landscape for the trains to operate in. This is what the Marmadale Wharf layout is, quite simply scenery through which the model railway train passes and in which it operates. Members of the Ottawa British model railway group, which was formed in 1993, are all members of the British Railway Modellers of North America. Founded in 1968, the British Railway Mod-
ellers of North America was created to meet two basic needs of modellers of British model trains in Canada and the United States. The organization was to be a means of communication among such model train enthusiasts. It was also to be a conduit for exchanging information, surplus items and train parts. It is a volunteer-run organization which has about 330 members. These members have a variety of interests. Some prefer a specific railway in a specific era. Some operate joint railways so they can run what they like. Others like to mix up British, European and North American models. There are others who are specialists in painting model locomotives or in wiring control systems. Yet others are interested in railway history. Still others may be suppliers of these model railway locomotives and coaches or cars.

Special to the News
Eight-year-old Jack Brown of Stittsville is continuing to battle his life-limiting disorder and medical condition while his family continues to care for him and raise funds for his care. The family is hosting the Rock Out For Jack 2.0 fundraiser at the Lieutenant’s Pump British Pub at 361 Elgin St. in downtown Ottawa on Saturday, Nov. 25, starting at 7 p.m. and running through to 2 a.m. There will be live and silent auctions, as well as lots of partying including DJ party tunes from 10 p.m. onwards. Jack was admitted to CHEO on Nov. 8 for his 19th surgery in his young life. Altogether, he has spent over two years at CHEO which has become like a second home for this Stittsville family. Jack was born in June 2009 with severe disabilities and life-limiting conditions. He requires 24 hour nursing care. He was born with a rare syndrome called CHARGE which is a cause of blind-deadness in children. Jack is deaf with some vision impairment. He has a tracheostomy and a feeding tube and is mostly confined to a wheelchair although he did take his first unassisted steps at school last year. He was also recently diagnosed with severe autism. He has as yet never spoken. During the night, Jack is hooked up to four machines periodically throughout the night. Jack’s mom Elizabeth has become his nurse, trained by staff at CHEO to care for Jack and to use life-saving measures if necessary. An added complication for the Brown family is that three months after Jack was born, his father Greg Brown was diagnosed with high risk Melanoma with a six-month prognosis. Greg had been trained to care for Jack and was splitting shifts with Elizabeth in caring for him. Greg underwent surgery in hospital, but in December 2015 was hit with a major depression disorder. Unfortunately he had to resign from work as a result of his physical and emotional challenges from his cancer. He will never be in remission but he is still fighting the disease. Because of Greg’s illness and Elizabeth being Jack’s full-time nurse now, the family does
not have private insurance coverage from the workplace. There is some support from government affiliated agencies but there are large out-of-pocked expenses. Life sustaining supplies and equipment such as tracheostomy and external feeding supplies cost about $20,000 per year. Medical supplies are $10,000 a year while incontinence supplies cost $3,400 a year. These are all costs involved in raising a medically fragile child. Although Jack continues to face a high mortality rate, he does enjoy life with enthusiasm. If you can support this upcoming fundraiser at the Lieutenant’s Pump British Pub on Elgin Street, that would be much appreciated by the Brown family. There will be a happy hour at 6 p.m., followed by the fundraiser and auctions from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and then DJ music from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Everyone is welcome. For more information or to view the silent auction items available, visit Rock Out For Jack 2.0 on Facebook. The Brown family has received generous donations of support from various businesses. These include $2,200 from Giant Tiger in Stittsville, $1,000 from the Stittsville District Lions Club, $2,000 from Ever Radiant in Manotick and $1,000 from the Lieutenant’s Pump British Pub.

A giant crane helps in the cutting down of a tall old pine tree (centre) which has stood at the front of the Stittsville United Church for a century, as the wood from the tree is piled up in front of the church on Wednesday morning, Nov. 8.
Giant pine tree at front of church is taken down Special to the News
Stittsville United Church has lost an old friend. A giant pine tree which had stood at the front of the church on Fernbank Road for more than 100 years was taken down Nov. 8. It had been found that the tree was hollow and weak in places and for safety reasons it had to be cut down. A giant crane was used by the crew which was hired to take down the tree, an operation that took more than three hours in the morning. The tree was on the cemetery side of the front walkway leading to the church. This was the second of two tall pine trees which have been removed from the front yard of the church in recent years. A dozen years ago, another pine tree was removed for similar reasons. The present-day Stittsville United Church began as a Methodist church. The first meetings of this Stittsville congregation took place in the homes of the early settlers. It was George Argue who spearheaded the building of the first church in 1845, which was known as the Magee Chapel
as it was located on land donated by William Magee. In 1847, the first stone church was built within the grounds of the present-day cemetery. This church building served the congregation until 1883, even surviving the Carleton County Fire of 1870 when mud was plastered on the wood window sills to protect them from the flames. The current church was built in 1883 as a red brick structure, accented by buff brick quoins and voussoirs with cresting on the top of the flat-topped tower. In 1925, with Church Union, the church moved from being a Methodist church to become a United Church. In 1952, the floor was raised and a basement was provided for the Sunday school. In 1963, with the community of Stittsville growing, a new west wing was built and the exterior of the building was stuccoed. A hip roof was added to the flat roof of the tower, forming a spire. About a decade ago, a further addition was added to the west side of the church. This addition featured a large meeting room, a minister’s office and more meeting rooms in the basement.

Catholic Women’s League bazaar Special to the News
The upcoming Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) is taking place a couple weeks earlier than normal to review the budget. As a result, the next meeting is on Thursday, November 23rd, with the time and place unchanged (10:00am at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe). Agenda items include: • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 8089 & 8165 Franktown Road (Rideau-Goulbourn) • 2018 Draft Operating and Capital Budget • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 7771 Snake Island Road (Osgoode) • Zoning By-Law Amendment: Anomaly – 168 Baillie Avenue and part of 1640, 1641 Bontrey Place • Carp Airport Development: Area-Specific Infrastructure Recovery Charge • Regimbald, Simpson and Wilson-Johnston Municipal Drains: Appointment of Engineer (Cumberland)
The annual bazaar of the Catholic Women’s League at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville will be bigger than ever this year. That’s because this year the bazaar will be using the church’s atrium space as well as the parish hall. But it’s bigger not only in physical space but also what is being offered. For instance, there is going to be more of the Catholic Women’s League's (CWL) renowned Christmas pudding for sale than ever before. The bazaar is happening this Saturday, Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There’s lots more to be offered at this bazaar. There will be religious articles, homemade Christmas baking, crafts, jewelry, scarves and a white elephant table. Also look for various individual vendors. There will be a book section with cookbooks, children’s books and more while there will also be a table with gently-used jewelry. There’s also going to be a silent auction. Three gift baskets will be given away in a raffle draw. There will also be hourly door prizes given away. Soup, chili and desserts will all be available and, best of all, they will all be homemade.
The big item on the agenda is the 2018 Budget. We will consider the relevant portions of the draft 2018 Operating and Capital Budgets and forward our recommendations to Council for consideration at the December 13th Council meeting. The ARAC budget is relatively small as it merely deals with the rural section of the Planning Department as well as funding some minor portions of the Public Works budget. For the budget presentation at Committee, I have asked that staff also touch on items that impact the rural area but are found in the budgets of other committees, such as Transportation Committee. The 2018 draft budget contains increases to infrastructure renewal across the City that will help begin to bridge the gap between how we are currently funding renewal and how we should be funding renewal. For Rideau-Goulbourn, the 2018 draft budget includes the resurfacing of Rideau Valley Drive South, south of Kars, and microsurfacing on a portion of Fourth Line Road. The portion of Gallagher Road that was upgraded last year will see the final surface added to it in 2018. If more funds become available following the tender of many renewal projects, roads such as Dwyer Hill Road, Old Richmond Road and Eagleson Road may see microsurfacing as well. The agenda also includes the Carp Airport Development, which was previously listed on the last two ARAC agendas. Due to some minor issues, it was pulled and will now come next Thursday. That report deals with the funding component of extending servicing to this development. The Franktown Road application, which was deferred from the November 2nd ARAC meeting, is a new development in Goulbourn. It is a 19-lot development adjacent to the existing Heron Lake Estates community and the Riverbend Golf Course. The item on Bontrey Place, in Kars, updates the floodplain lines on those properties following a review of floodplain mapping by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. For more information on this agenda, please visit Ottawa.ca or sign up for our e-Newsletter at RideauGoulbourn.ca. 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.

Ottawa 2017 did a fantastic job at organizing and celebrating Canada’s sesquicentennial in our City, and I am thankful for the lasting memories they’ve created for residents and visitors alike. It will be impossible to forget some of the year’s events, which transformed our City, captivated our imagination and elevated Ottawa onto the international scene. Some of 2017’s highlights include the Juno Awards and Juno week, Red Bull Crashed Ice, MosaïCanada 150, the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open LPGA Tour, Mìwàte – Illumination of Chaudière Falls, Canada’s Table, the Interprovincial Picnic on the Bridge and the 105th Grey Cup and Festival. Ottawa also saw record crows in 2017. Over 250, 000 guest celebrated close to 50 nations during their national days during Ottawa Welcomes the World at Lansdowne Park. More than 325,000 people made their way underground to the future Lyon LRT station for the multimedia show Kontinuum, and got a glimpse into Light Rail Transit in our City. But the most impressive crowd we had was most certainly the 750,000 people who immersed themselves into the magic that La Machine brought to our city. LongMa and Kumo will forever be engraved into our hearts and memories, and have changed the way we see our city. We would not have been able to make 2017 the success it has been without the tremendous contributions from our funding partners CIBC, Bell, and the Governments of Ontario and Canada. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the amazing local volunteers who were superstars throughout the whole year – 3,000 strong! But the celebrations are not quite over yet. The month of December will be a winter sport extravaganza, with many exciting events taking place. On December 16, the Ottawa Senators will face the Montreal Canadiens at Lansdowne Park during the 2017 Scotiabank NHL100 Classic™ outdoor hockey game. This historical game marks the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup, the 100th anniversary of the first NHL game and the 25th anniversary of the Ottawa Senators. The following day on December 17, the Ottawa 67s will host the Gatineau Olympiques for an exciting outdoor hockey game at Landowne Park and from December 2 to 10, the best men’s and women’s curling teams from across the country compete to represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Tickets for these events can be purchased at www.Ottawa2017.ca. Lastly, residents will be able to taking the breathtaking views of our Parliament building while skating on an outdoor rink right on Parliament Hill from December 7 to 31, 2017. The skating rink will be free to access, and a great family-friendly activity. As we head into 2018, I want to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and the very best for the New Year.

Shea Road Woods Protection Approved at City Council I am thrilled and honoured to share the great news that the motion to purchase and protect a portion of Shea Road Woods in Stittsville was discussed and approved at last week’s City Council meeting. As a result of the decision, 5.4 hectares of land in the area south of Abbott St East and East of Shea Rd in the Fernbank Community would be acquired by the City. This is great news for the community as the woods are a popular site for many Stittsville residents to walk, play with their dogs and soak in some of the community’s natural beauty. It is important to note that while the future uses will still need to be discussed, it is my intention to ensure the allowance of off-leash dogs in sections of this area is maintained. Working on retaining this property has been a priority project of mine for quite some time. I understand that with the recent growth of our unique little village, it is important to ensure our large areas of natural environment remain preserved wherever possible.
What’s up, doc, around village of Stittsville? *Ottawa Archbishop The Most Rev. Terrence Prendergast officiated at the 5 p.m. mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road on Saturday, Nov. 11, as it was the occasion of the diaconate ordination of John Orban. A number of clergy and religious from the Archdiocese attended the ceremony which also featured a Knights of Columbus colour guard. Former Holy Spirit pastor Rev. Frank Scott was one of these visiting clergy. John Orban will be serving as a deacon at Holy Spirit Parish as he continues on his journey towards ordination to the priesthood. The Rite of Ordination to the diaconate included the calling and presentation of the candidate by Rev. Peter Marr for St. Augustine’s Seminary, election by the Archbishop, examination of the candidate with promises of obedience and fidelity, the laying on of hands and a prayer of consecration, investiture of the candidate with a stole and dalmatic and presentation of the Book of the Gospels. A reception was held in the parish hall following the mass, hosted by the Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus. *Money is being won in the “Catch the Ace” lottery being held by the Stittsville District Lions Club in support of the Ruddy Shenkman Hospice in Kanata but the big Ace of Spaces jackpot has not been won and continues to grow with each passing week. Recent weekly winners have been Howard Whitney of Carleton Place who won $112, and Janet Chesal of Stittsville won $127. The Ace of Spades jackpot will be as high as $750 for the Nov. 22 draw if there is no Ace of Spades winner in the Nov. 15 draw. Tickets at $5 each for this “Catch the Ace” lottery are available at Stittsville Trailers, Stittsville Auto, Kodiak Snowblowing, Bradley’s Insurance and Lions Club members. Tickets can also be purchased on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street, just before the weekly draw happens at 7 p.m. each Wednesday. *The recent harvest dinner at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road attracted about 270 people and raised $4,200 for the church. The Celtic band “Irons in the Fire”
provided musical entertainment at the event. The co-ordinators of the dinner were Ken and Mary-Ann Reddick. *Stittsville District Lions Club member Steve Koch is back home after a stay in hospital for neck surgery. He now has to take it easy for six to eight weeks for recovery. *The Swirlicious fashion show and sale in support of hospice which was held at Stittsville United Church on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 29, raised $1,226. Diane Dean was the organizer of the event for the church. The United Church Women provided the models for the fashion show and also provided refreshments at the event. *Theresa McGowan-Beard, a representative from St. Stephen Catholic School to the Ottawa Catholic School Parents’ Association (OCSPA), has been chosen as one of the association’s liaison officers on its new 2017-18 executive. Liaison officers serve as a point of contact for a specified number of school councils with the association. Mark Savenkoff, who has been a representative for St. Stephen School to the OCSPA, has stepped down from the executive. *JoJo’s Pizza on Stittsville Main Street is hosting a movie day on Saturday, Nov. 25, at 10 a.m. There’s free admission with the Walt Disney’s Coco as the movie being shown. Coco is a 3D computer animated musical fantasy adventure film which premièred in Mexico on Oct. 20 and which is only being released in the United States on Nov. 22. The movie tells the story of a 12-year-old boy Miguel who sets off a chain of events related to a century-old mystery which eventually leads to a family reunion. *Carlos Bacila, a former Rotary Club member from Brazil, was the guest speaker at the Nov. 8 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. His presentation entitled “The Woman, Rotary and Dale Carnegie” focused on the biographical details of Dale Carnegie’s life and the relationship between women, Rotary and Dale Carnegie who was instrumental in beginning the process of women becoming Rotary members. Carlos is studying at the University of Ottawa and has
done extensive research about Dale Carnegie, the American who developed courses in self-improvement and wrote a number of books including the well-known “How To Win Friends and Influence People.” Carlos published his findings about Carny in a book entitled “Biography: The Life of Dale Carnegie And His Philosophy of Success.” *It’s Pet Valu which has moved into the former LCBO premises in the stand-alone building at the Crossing Bridge Square shopping plaza near McDonald’s. The premises had been under renovation recently after standing vacant for some time. Pet Valu has had a shop in the plaza for a number of years. *The annual Season’s Greetings Craft Fair will be held in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena on Saturday, Nov. 25, and Sunday, Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. This craft fair is held in support of the Ottawa Humane Society. *St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street is holding a “Poinsettia 2017” sale, with proceeds going to help the church. The poinsettias will be obtained from the local Richmond Nursery and will be good for gift giving or for decorating your home. There will be order forms for this sale at the church’s Snowflake Bazaar this Saturday, Nov. 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the church. You can also place an order by calling 613-963-9661 or email garyngraham@ gmail.com . The pick-up for these poinsettias will be at the church on Saturday, Dec. 2, between 9 a.m. and 12 noon. *Pam Radbourne passed away on Sunday, Oct. 29, at the age of 68. She is survived by her husband Doug. She was the devoted mother to Laurie, Justin (Lisa), Amy and Courtney (Charles). She is also survived by five grandchildren. A celebration of Pam’s life was held on Saturday, Nov. 4, in the chapel of Pinecrest Remembrance Services on Baseline Road in Ottawa. In memoriam donations to Hospice Care Ottawa – Ruddy Shenkman Hospice would be appreciated.
I would like to thank Mayor Watson and City Staff along with CRT Developments for their support in working with me to protect this important greenspace so that it can continue to be enjoyed by the community, and future generations. I would also like to highlight the following staff – Stephen Willis, John Smit, Nick Stow, James Bowser, Mark Richardson, Kevin Wherry and Jennifer Shepherd – for all of their hard work on this file as well as Councillor and Planning Committee Chair Jan Harder for providing her support. Last but certainly now least, I would like to thank all residents for their incredible support of this very important item; it is great to see all of the hard work of the committed team of staff finally come to fruition. I look forward to sharing more news with the community as it is released.
Johnwoods Closure Reminder I would like to remind residents that Johnwoods Street will be closed to access as of November 15th. Additional information has been posted on my website regarding traffic calming measures in the area, traffic counts being conducted, and Rosehill’s capacity for traffic flow, which I encourage concerned residents to review at shadqadri.com/johnwoods-closure It is anticipated that this entire project will be completed by the end of June 2018. Please note that the deadline for pathway design comments has been extended until November 30th, 2017. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

This means that all of the speech evaluations usually given in the second half of the meeting were given in the first half.

*Thanks to the involvement particularly of those in the Scouting and Guiding communities of Richmond, the Richmond Legion this year was able to cover all of the planned routes in its recent door-to-door canvass for its poppy campaign. *If you are looking for some unique holiday greeting cards, you should consider cards featuring seasonal scenes in Richmond and Ottawa photographed by Richmond artists Elena Khomoutova and Alexander Khomoutov.

These make unique Christmas gifts. In addition, Alexander now has his sixth book available. “Inspirational Healing Quotes” provides instant access to the wisdom of the ages with the intention of bringing healing and good luck to the reader. Copies of this new book and all of Alexander’s books are now available at Amazon.ca. Just search for Khomoutov and a list of
all of his books will appear. *It’s an arts and crafts program with a difference — it’s for adults. It is being offered at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Perth Street. Supplies will be provided and it’s open to adults, especially those 50-plus. There is no registration required as it is operating on a drop-in basis.

The sessions are being held on Thursday, Nov. 16 and Thursday, Dec. 14. There are two sessions each Thursday: one lasting from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and then a second one running from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. *With the weather getting colder, walking outside becomes more of a challenge. But there is an option. You can walk in the relative warmth of the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) where the Richmond Walking Group gathers every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. for an hour of walking together.

Find out all about trilliums at Horticultural Society AGM Special to the News
The white trillium is the emblem and official flower of Ontario. It is also an official symbol of the provincial government. It is a perennial flower plant native to the temperate regions of North America such as Ontario. You can find out all about trilliums by attending the upcoming annual general meeting and potluck supper of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. That’s because the guest speaker will be Brian Carson of Stittsville, who will be speaking on “The Treasure Trove of Trilliums.” And he knows all about trilliums, with an acknowledged
obsession with a gardener’s quest for the elusive double trillium, which is considered a holy grail of North American wildflowers. Brian will be highlighting some of his local finds, using lots of photos along with dashes of history, horticulture and humour thrown in. Brian’s career has included farming, market gardening, underwater salvaging, masonry contracting, geophysics and mine supervision — now that’s quite a varied career! An enthusiastic gardener, he is a prolific plant hunter and grower who enjoys sharing his floral treasures with fellow gardeners. Brian lectures frequently in the Ottawa region while also leading field trips and conducting workshops. His current obsessions of
plant hunting and photography have brought international recognition to the Ottawa Valley for its double trilliums and its many mutations of the flower. Brian has been a member of several local garden clubs. He is a longtime member of the Ottawa Valley Rock Garden and Horticultural Society, the North American Rock Garden Society, the Royal Horticultural Society, the Scottish Rock Garden Society, the Alpine Garden Society and the Ottawa Cactus and Succulent Group. Everyone is welcome to attend the annual general meeting and pot luck supper being held by the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church. For more information, please email SCHorticultural@email. com .

Food drive at Stittsville Public School Special to the News
The Stittsville Food Bank has more on its shelves now thanks to the efforts of the Me To We group at Stittsville Public School. This group of students held a food drive at the school during the week of Oct. 30 to Nov. 3. Students at the school were
encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations to their classrooms. Then volunteers from the Me To We group went around to the classrooms each day during the week to collect the donated food items. These Me To We group stu-
dents then sorted and organized the food items in boxes for pickup by volunteers from the Stittsville Food Bank. The students also checked the “best before” dates on the food items and weeded out any items that had expired. The students did this work on
their nutrition breaks and during recesses. The Stittsville Food Bank has now received a total of about 650 cans and non-perishable food items as a result of this food drive initiative by the students of Stittsville Public School’s Me To We group.
A Year to Remember at the NCC Dr. Mark Kristmanson Chief Executive Officer
It’s certainly hard to believe that after so much effort, and so much anticipation, the celebrations of 2017 and the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation are almost behind us. When I look back, I see a year of real achievement on the part of the National Capital Commission – a year when so many projects and initiatives finally came to fruition. I am particularly happy with the way we were able to work with so many individuals and organizations in the community, including the indigenous Canadians of the Capital Region, to make it such a year to remember. Never before have so many people been part of working toward our shared vision of a great 21st-century Capital. The result of these partnerships will be a real, tangible legacy of 2017. The dramatic renewal of the National Arts Centre, the opening of Canada’s new National Holocaust Monument, the remarkable MosaïCanada display in Jacques Cartier Park, the Confederation Pavilions, and the hundreds of thousands of Canada 150 tulips that will now bloom every year in the Capital are just a few examples.

Stittsville Public School students Graham Strachan (left) and Phoenix Weatherbie (right) hold some of the food items which they sorted in the food drive at the school which was organized by the school’s “Me to We” group.
And, of course, we launched the new Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017-2067 – an exciting blueprint for the development of the Capital between now and Canada’s bicentennial that is the result of an unprecedented collaboration with literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast. There is so much more to say about these projects, and more, and the legacy they will leave – and I invite you to learn more about them on the NCC’s website (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). Meanwhile, at the NCC we are always looking to the future, and continuing our work to build a Capital that is meaningful and inspiring to every Canadian.

One priority will be tackling the challenge of deferred maintenance of the NCC’s many assets. These assets are substantial, with a value in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Looking after them all on an annual capital appropriation of just under $23 million requires sometimes-difficult choices, but I think our staff does a remarkable job maintaining it to a very high standard. Our other priorities in the year to come include advancing transformational initiatives such as the development of LeBreton Flats; the creation of new riverfront parks on both sides of the Ottawa River; the renewal of Nepean Point; the renewal of the Gatineau Park Master Plan and the NCC’s environmental strategy; and the implementation of the Plan for Canada’s Capital. And we will continue to partner with Canadians in building a Capital that is a source of pride for Canadians, now and for generations to come.

Police Chorus at Munster Special to the News
This year marks the 45th anniversary year for the Ottawa Police Chorus. And one of the chorus’s appearances during the year will be at the Munster United Church on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. The Ottawa Police Chorus, with over 40 voices, sings a varied repertoire of classical, popular and jazz music, all in four-part harmony. Tickets for the concert at Munster United Church will be $10 per person, with those under 16 years of age free. Those attending are also being urged to take along a non-perishable food item for donation to the Richmond Food Bank to help brighten the upcoming Christ-
mas season for those in need in the community. Advance tickets can be arranged by contacting Mary at 613-838-5473. Tickets will also be available at the door on the day of the performance. Refreshments will be served at the event. The Ottawa Police Chorus was formed in 1972 as then-police chief Leo Seguin wanted to have such a chorus available to perform at police funerals and other functions. Originally the chorus was made up of male police officers in active service. The sole criteria for chorus membership was an enjoyment of singing. Over the years, the chorus has changed as membership is now open to both genders of both serving and retired offi-
cers, civilian police personnel and also citizens in the community. The mission of the Ottawa Police Chorus is to enhance the image of the Ottawa Police Service through song. The chorus sings at numerous events, both large and small, throughout each year. This includes at cultural events, retirement homes, concerts and seasonal events. In September each year, the Ottawa Police Chorus joined other police chorus groups from across Canada on Parliament Hill to honour the sacrifice of fallen officers at the National Police Memorial which began in 1978. Geoff Linklater is the director of the Ottawa Police Chorus while Carol Gurofsky is the group’s accompanist.

Saturday, Nov. 18 is “B” time in Munster. That’s when the Munster United Church is hosting its annual book and bake sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with everyone welcome to drop in at the church on Munster Road in the heart of Munster. You can browse through the books and discover your winter reading.

Rotary Club of Ottawa - Stittsville members Theresa Qadri (far left) and Rosemary Brummell (far right) flank the Club’s two newest members, Matt Berezowski (centre, left) and Charles Mossman (centre, right) at the ceremony which welcomed them to membership in the Club.
Two new Rotary Club members Special to the News
The Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville has two new members. Surprisingly, both were born in Windsor, Ont. Matt Berezowski has been inducted as a new member of the club, while Charles Mossman has transferred his Rotary membership to the Stittsville club after being a Rotary member for a number of years with the Rotary Club of London-Lambeth. Rotary Club member Theresa Qadri proposed Matt Berezowski for membership in the club. Born in Windsor, Matt attended Acadia University in Nova Scotia, where he played football. He worked for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League for about 10 years,
during which time he was involved in various community activities such as SNIB, the Kanata Food Cupboard, the Ottawa Mission and the Stittsville Food Bank. He now works for Rogers Communications in ad sales. Charles Mossman, also born in Windsor, has been a Rotary Club member for years with the Rotary Club of London-Lambeth. Indeed, he was the club’s president in 2016 to 2017. He attended the Royal Roads Military College in Victoria, as well as the Royal Military College in Kingston. He is a retired professor of finance in Manitoba. He plays pickleball and has recently joined the Huntley Curling Club in Carp. He also is a community volunteer with an income tax help program.

Health hazards, property devaluation not considered relevant Concerns expressed about proposed new 70-metre tall cell phone tower off Fernbank Road near Stittsville BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
A cell phone tower is all about communication but Joni Sabourin’s concerns about a proposed new tower overlooking her Fernbank Road property do not seem to be getting through to the proponents. Or, rather, they may be getting through but they are being dismissed, being called neither reasonable nor relevant to the official process set down by the federal government by Eric Belchamber, a wireless site specialist working for Land Squared, act-
ing as the proponent’s representative for Shared Network Canada. And, indeed, it turns out, concerns about the health hazard posed by such a cell tower and about property devaluation are not considered relevant by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (formerly Industry Canada), the federal department which has the approval authority for such cell tower installations. The department’s public consultation process document for cell towers states that concerns that are considered not relevant include “potential effects that a proposed antenna sys-
tem will have on property values or municipal taxes” and also “questions whether the Radiocommunciation Act, this document, Safety Code 6, locally established bylaws, other legislation, procedures or processes are valid or should be reformed in some manner.” The city of Ottawa is asked for its concurrence in locating such cell towers but it will not withhold such concurrence based on a cell tower’s impact on property values or health concerns. But Joni Sabourin very much has such concerns and while expressing them to Land Squared and municipal politicians, has received no positive responses. Joni lives on Fernbank Road, just west of Stittsville’s residential area along West Ridge Drive. Joni’s mother Bev has been on her adjacent farm property for 60 years while Joni has lived there nearly as long. The Morley farm property may someday become part of urban Stittsville which

it borders. Joni enjoys the rural nature of her home on a portion of the farm property, putting up with no piped services, no high speed internet and no natural gas service in the process. But having this proposed new 70-metre tall cell tower just over the fence on a neighbouring property is something that she is not willing to accept. That it will devalue her property and her mother’s farm property, which is potential development land, concerns her. But of much concern to her as well are the health dangers from such a cell tower installation. She cites numerous studies found online which link cancer to cell towers. A German study done over ten years found that the proportion of newly developed cancer cases was three times higher among those who had lived during the ten years within 400 metres of a cell tower compared to those living further away. This study claims that radiation within 400 metres of a cell

tower is 100 times higher compared to the area further away. Eric Belchamber, the wireless site specialist representing Shared Network Canada, the proponent for this new cell tower, provided responses to Joni on these concerns. He states in his response that “there is no documented evidence of loss of property value resulting from proximity to telecommunications facilities.” He cites the presence of other market factors which have stronger influences on property values. With regard to Joni’s concerns about the health risk posed by cell towers, Belchamber points out that Health Canada sets the standards and oversees the levels of acceptable radio frequencies. He says that this new cell tower will follow the guidelines established by Health Canada in what is called its Safety Code 6 which is meant to ensure that the public is protected against overexposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Besides being concerned about the impact of such a cell tower and its emissions on her husband’s pacemaker, Joni wonders why the tower cannot be relocated on the adjacent property, perhaps farther north nearer the Trans Canada Trail. Another option, in her view, is locating the cell tower on the Trans Canada Pipeline rightof-way which crosses Fernbank Road farther west. She has found neither RideauGoulbourn ward Coun. Scott Moffatt nor Stittsville ward Coun. Shad Qadri helpful in this matter. She herself has contacted the proponent almost daily but finds that this just results in “stock” replies. She would like to see others, including residents in the nearby West Ridge Drive area of Stittsville, become more concerned about this issue. But time is running out as the consultation period ends Nov. 26. She feels that having numerous people express their concerns about this cell tower installation may be the only way to get any attention paid to the situation. She acknowledges the cell tower may result in better cellphone reception in the area but she wonders at what cost in the long run, given the current indications that such cell towers have a link to the occurrence of cancer. An information package produced by Shared Network Canada states that the proposed 70-metre tall, selfsupported communication tower will have space for multiple carriers, enhancing their wireless communication networks. This cell tower will play a part in providing a seamless transmission signal in the area, eliminating gaps in coverage which result in dropped calls and unavailable service related to high-speed wireless voice and data networks. Client demand and complaints, radio frequency engineering principles, local topography and land use all play a part in locating such a cell tower. See NOV. 26, page 29
Nov. 26 is deadline for comments
945 homes coming
The information package claims that this new cell tower will comply with Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 guidelines protecting the public from any harmful health effects from emissions from a cell tower. The document defends Safety Code 6, stating that the “exposure limits specified in Safety Code 6 were established from the results of hundreds of studies over the past several decades where the effects of RF (radio frequency) energy on biological organism were examined.” It further adds that “Canada’s exposure limits are among the most stringent guidelines that are based on established effects.” The consultation information package also states that the consultation process being followed allows municipal authorities an opportunity to address land use concerns “while respecting the federal government’s exclusive jurisdiction in the siting and operation of wireless and data systems.” This proposed new cell tower will be 70 metres high, which is similar in height to the existing cell tower that is along Shea Road just south of Fernbank Road which is 65 metres tall. The new tower will be similar in construction to this one on Shea Road which is referred to as a self-support tower. Cell communication towers range in height from 15 metres tall to 110 metres tall in some rural areas. The height of a tower is dependent on a number of factors including the size and type of area to be covered and the number
The zoning is being put in place to permit a proposed 945-unit subdivision on 46 hectares of land between the Carp River and the existing Fairwinds subdivision north of Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. The subdivision will also include a 2.9-hectare public elementary school site; a local commercial site adjacent to Maple Grove Road, which runs along the north side of the site; and three parks. Two of the parks will be adjacent to the Carp River, which runs along the east side of the site, while the other park will be adjacent to Poole Creek, which runs through the northwest corner of the site. The commercial development block on the south side of Maple Grove Road will be zoned as local commercial, to allow for a variety of small locally-oriented convenience and service uses. A draft plan of subdivision was given approval in December 2007, but an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board delayed this approval until April 2012, after the appeal had been dismissed without a hearing. A revised draft plan of subdivision was submitted by the owner, Richcraft Group of Companies, in October 2013. This was approved in September 2016. This rezoning of the property is now in keeping with this approved draft plan of subdivision. The subdivision will include single-detached homes, townhomes, back-to-back townhomes, stacked townhomes and low-rise apartments. The majority of the residential lands in this subdivision are to be rezoned from development reserve to residential third density subzone Z, which is similar in effect to the zone which applies to adjacent residential subdivisions. The new zoning will meet the intent of the policies set forth in the provincial policy statement of 2014, the city’s Official Plan and the Kanata West Concept Plan. This proposed subdivision will not be able to proceed until the Kanata West Pump Station is completed. This is expected in spring 2018. It is anticipated that the subdivision will obtain final approval in 2018, with construction starting in late 2018 or 2019.

of carriers planned for the tower. If a tower is to host multiple carriers, then space is needed at various heights to accommodate these carriers. If a tower can accommodate multiple carriers, then less towers are needed. City Coun. Scott Moffatt has acknowledged to Joni that the proponent of this new cell tower did contact him prior to proceeding with the proposal. He admits that cell towers are regulated primarily by the federal government and not municipal government. Manjit Athwal in the office of Pierre Poilievre, MP for Carleton which includes the Stittsville Area, has confirmed that MP Poilievre does not have a firm position on this proposed new cell tower at present. She says that MP Poilievre would like feedback on the proposal, with residents asked to contact him at pierre.poilievre@parl.gc.ca. Stittsville businessman Phil Sweetnam, who was involved in the placement of a cell tower at a site on Sweetnam Drive a number of years ago, acknowledges that while local residents and city councillors can comment on a proposed cell tower installation, the final decision rests with the federal government. He further notes that while local concerns are considered, it is the technical aspects of the cell tower location that are most important in the decision-making. In the situation in which he was involved, a request by Stittsville Coun. Qadri to relocate the cell tower to another site was rejected because the proponent Telus and the federal government agreed that the alternative site
was technically inferior to the Sweetnam Drive location. There have been other situations in the Ottawa area where residents have protested the placement of a cell tower. In 2014, residents in the Manotick area opposed a proposed cell tower on Dozios Road. At that time, the local MP Pierre Poilievre was going to introduce a petition gathered in the area about the situation in the House of Commons. At that time, MP Poilievre said he would leave the health standards related to such cell towers up to the scientists. “Health Canada does world renowned research,” he is quoted as saying at the time, although he added that his office would be available to hear the concerns of the community. Another situation this past September involved placement of a cell tower in the Stonebridge area of Nepean, resulting in concerns being expressed by local residents. Comments from the public about this proposed new cell tower installation at 6591 Fernbank Rd. should contact Eric Belchamber, Wireless Site Specialist for Shared Network Canada, at eric.belchamber@landsquared. com or by phone at 613-220-5970. Concerns about land use should be directed to Natalie Persaud of the city of Ottawa’s planning and growth management department at 613-580-2424, ext. 12681 or via email at Natalie.persaud@ottawa.ca. Comments must be submitted by Nov. 26.

Applause rings out at Remembrance service in Richmond Special to the News
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 2017 saw Memorial Park in Richmond packed with people, both participants and onlookers, for the annual Remembrance service hosted by the Richmond Legion. Sunshine with blue skies overhead prevailed for this year’s service, with temperatures just below freezing. Applause rang out from the assembled onlookers, as the colour party and parade of veterans, legion members and military personnel marched onto the Memorial Park site just before 11 a.m. Applause erupted from those at Memorial Park at the end of the service as well, as the colour party and parade party marched off the site. Deacon Louis Seward of
St. Philip’s Church, who is the Richmond Legion chaplain, delivered the opening prayer for the service; it was followed by the playing of the Last Post, the silence and lament, then Reveille. Tyson Barber of South Carleton High School told about the red poppy of Flanders, while fellow student Lily Stone recited In Flanders Fields. The singing of the hymn Abide With Me, led by Gary Thompson with accompaniment by the South Carleton High School band, preceded the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph. Among the wreaths laid were those for the federal government by Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, for the provincial government by Robert Ralph, for the City of Ottawa by David Brown, for fallen comrades by Jack Lemyre, for Silver Cross Mothers by Eu-
nice Lemyre, for veterans by Keith Thurrott and for the Canadian Forces by Oscar Clench. There were other wreaths laid as well, including a number of in memoriam wreaths, as well as
wreaths for churches, schools and community organizations. The Pledge of Remembrance — “They shall grow not old/As we that are left grow old/Age shall not weary them,/Nor the years condemn./At the going down of the sun/And in the
morning,/We will remember them” — was led by Jack Lemyre of the Richmond Legion. A poem about Remembrance was recited by Graham Dunn, a Grade 6 student of St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond.
After the service ended, those who had observed it were invited to lay a poppy along the front of the base of the cenotaph, which many did; this created, as it were, a field of poppies across the front of the base of the cenotaph.

A 92-year-old World War Two veteran laid the wreath at the Remembrance service at the Stittsville Seniors Community (Villa) on Nov. 9. John Lariviere, who served in the
navy in the Second World War, laid the wreath during the service which was held in the lounge area of the Stittsville Seniors Community. Residents filled the lounge area for the service which was conducted by members from the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion,

with participation from several residents of the Stittsville Seniors Community. Besides Mr. Lariviere laying the wreath, veteran Ron Sheffield read the poem In Flanders Fields while Catherine Morris recited the familiar Remembrance phrases, “They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” Steve Malcolm on a keyboard provided the music for the service includ-
ing for O Canada, the Last Post and God Save the Queen. The Stittsville Legion provided a colour party for the service which was conducted by legion president Judy Campbell. John Lariviere joined the navy at the age of 17 and saw three years of duty in the Second World War. He was accompanied at this Remembrance service by his wife Barbara, 93, who is a war bride from Scotland. She and John have been married for 72 years. John’s mother, by the way, was also a war bride from the First World War.

Elle described the course as “brutal” as it was full of hills. Elle was the only South Carleton runner in this provincial competition.
It’s a holiday season triple-header that you won’t want to miss. It happens on Saturday, Dec. 2 in Richmond with three Christmas events — the Lighting of the Park, the Santa Claus parade and a free chili community dinner. The Lighting of the Park will kick things off at 4:30 p.m. at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street, where the recently-created children’s winter street banners will be formally unveiled. There will be singing and the Christmas lights at Memorial Park will be turned on, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Richmond. But there will be even more — a visit from Santa Claus himself! This Lighting of the Park ceremony will be followed by the Richmond Santa Claus Parade which will start at 5:30 p.m., travelling from South Carleton High School north along McBean Street and then east along McBean Street before turning onto Huntley Road and then into the Richmond arena parking lot. Spectators are encouraged to watch the passing parade from any spot along the parade route. And as for entries in the parade, you can enter a float by simply filling out a registration form on the Richmond Village Association website. It is free to participate. Businesses, organizations, churches and community groups are all encouraged to enter a float. Following the parade, everyone, including both parade participants and parade spectators, is encouraged to make their way to the upstairs hall at the Richmond arena to enjoy a free chili dinner, starting about 6:30 p.m. It all happens on Saturday, Dec. 2 in Richmond. What a way to start of December and the journey to Christmas!

Keeping a log house warm during the winter
W
atching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard. The long underwear and navy blue fleece-lined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore. But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long winters. First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged underwear no longer fit to wear and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could
come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas. Bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together. Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel. Just before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds. Sometime through the night, and I could never catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
at the stair step to be taken back down to the kitchen. And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off. A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen. The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre. With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour, showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only two pieces of felt held together with blanket-stitching, but helped a little. But when we sat around the old pine table at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well.
Father, of course, never complained about the cold house. At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit sox from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash. When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it involved in the amusements that helped us wile away the time before we climbed the stairs for bed. The kitchen, the biggest room in the house, would be as warm as toast in the evening. I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the bitterly cold winters of Renfrew county.

Green Custom Home of the Year.
COMING SPRING 2018 An enclave of ten homes designed by Ottawa’s premiere team of architects and constructed by the city’s leading green builder, Farmside Green is one of a kind. It takes its architectural inspiration from its unique location adjacent to the Experimental Farm, a National Historic Site that dates back to 1886. At the same time, this enticing new development looks confidently toward the future in its energy efficient design and resilient construction. Taking his cue from classic farmhouse design, architect Barry J. Hobin has created a series of singles and semis with distinctive rooflines, gable features and quietly elegant massing that says, “Welcome home.” Each model presents its own, special face to the world, while the ten homes together make up a streetscape that’s a source of renewed delight every time you view it.

She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.
THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
