With poppies Russell and Helen Jones look after the Stittsville Legion poppy table at the Walmart store at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive in Stittsville. Russell is a Korean War veteran and a member of the Stittsville Legion. Although the former Stittsville residents now live downtown, they volunteer a couple of shifts in the Stittsville Legion poppy campaign every year. As Helen puts it, “It’s a highlight for us because it’s not only important but is an opportunity to give back and we meet a lot of nice people.”

‘Remembrance’ is theme for Stittsville Toastmasters Club meeting BY MONIKA JAIN Special to the News
“Remembrance” was the theme of the Nov. 9 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. It was a meeting focussed on
remembering the bravery and sacrifices of those soldiers who served and have served and those who paid the ultimate price. The word of the day for the meeting was “Unconditional.” Sandra Gloss served as the toast-

Helene Rivest (left) who was Table Topics master at the Nov. 9 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, presents the Table Topics Trophy to winner Carla Gajdecki while Area 11 Director Valerie Drainville (right) presents Carla with a Table Topics Ribbon. The Area Director visits the Toastmasters Clubs in the particular area usually twice a year.
master for the meeting which was attended by nine members as well as two guests, Anne Semour and Valerie Drainville. Anne Semour was a member of a Toastmasters Club in B.C. who has recently moved to the Ottawa area. After attending a couple of meetings of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club as a guest, she has now decided to join the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. Guest Valerie Drainville is an Area 11 Director for Toastmasters. She belongs to the Heron Toastmasters Club and the Advance Synergie Club. Lori Holloway’s opening thought set the tone for this Nov. 9 meeting with Gina Cook proposing a toast to “Soldiers Passed.” They both talked about their personal connections with war and how in war people give up their lives and happiness for others. There were two prepared speeches delivered at this Nov. 9 meeting. Sandra Gloss’ speech entitled “Distinguished Club Program (DCP)” outlined how to become a healthy Toastmasters Club. Members need to set personal goals with other members helping their peers to achieve their goals, either
by providing constructive feedback or by setting an example. DCP is a program in which goals are set for a club in order to score points. Goals have to be achieved within a given time period. If a Club achieves enough goals in a particular year, then it earns recognition. To earn the highest recognition, namely “President’s Distinguished Club,” a club has to achieve nine out of its ten goals. Carla Gajdecki served as the evaluator of Sandra’s speech, the first time that she had served as such an evaluator. Valerie Drainville presented the second prepared speech of the meeting as she gave her last speech from Toastmasters special occasion manual. Title of her speech was “For the love of Toastmasters.” She presented an award to Gina Cook who has been in Toastmasters for more than 30 years. The speech was evaluated by Lori Holloway. Helene Rivest was the Table Topics master for the meeting, asking members to pick two words from a basket of words which she had prepared. Members were asked to include the words in their talks.
Carla Gadjecki won the Table Topics trophy by intertwining the words “Poppies and Donation” into the story that she presented. Her talk was about her family visiting the War Museum and how she was worried about the impact of a gruesome painting on the impressionable minds of her daughters. But all her daughters saw in this painting was “a dog.” Anne Semour was the quizmaster for the meeting, testing how well members had listened. Monika Jain was the grammarian and filler word counter for the meeting. Gerry Tapp was the general evaluator for the meeting, providing feedback about the meeting in general. Richard Cook sent everyone home with a positive closing through and a poem by Helene Gardner. For information about the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, please contact Gerry Tapp at 613-721-8177 or via email at . The Stittsville Toastmasters Club holds its regular weekly meetings at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. The general email address for the Stittsville Toastmasters Club is .

Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (Class EA) Updated Serviceability Report for the Leitrim Development Area (OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b) In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment 76 (OPA 76), the City increased its urban envelope by over 900 hectares. Part of the urban expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). Specifically, OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b were added to the LDA resulting in an additional 87.2 hectares of urban land. OPA 76 urban expansion areas were not included in the servicing strategy for the original 2005 LDA lands Community Design Plan, therefore, an updated servicing plan for the LDA has been prepared. The map illustrates the Leitrim Development Area and OPA Expansion Lands.
This LDA servicing study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the current Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document following an integrated planning and environmental assessment provisions (Section A.2.9) The Updated Serviceability Report (OPA76 Areas 8A, 9A and 9B) for the LDA determined the following: 1.
The LDA falls within the City’s 3C water pressure zone and is currently serviced with potable water from the Ottawa South Pumping Station, trunk watermains and local distribution system throughout the built up area. This water supply system has the capacity to support the planned LDA expansion, and will provide a reliable water service which meets the City’s level of service objectives.
2.
All wastewater flows from the LDA are tributary to the Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station (LPS). The LPS discharges to twin forcemains constructed along Bank Street and outlet to the Conroy Road Collector Sewer which is located near the intersection of Bank Street and Conroy Road. The firm capacity of the LPS has excess capacity required to support the 87 hectares LDA expansion. This is in part due to the fact that actual wastewater flows are less than the projected flow rates considered for the original design of the station. The four existing sub-trunk sewers within the existing LDA each have sufficient capacity to service the expanded LDA sanitary drainage areas as well.
3.
The LDA stormwater management system consists of a dual drainage network such as stormwater collection pipes; overland flow routes, watercourses and stormwater ponds. To facilitate the OPA 76 expansion lands, the required stormwater infrastructure will include new trunk storm sewers, a constructed channel for rural flow conveyance and the expansion of the existing Findlay Creek Village Stormwater Facility to provide water quantity and quality control.
A Class EA project file report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identifications and evaluation of alternatives and the selection of the preferred solutions, public and agency consultation as well as potential development impacts and mitigation measure. By way of this Notice, the Class EA report is being placed on the public record for a 30 day review starting on November 17, 2016. The report is available for public review at the following locations: City Hall, Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1, Tel. 613-580-2400

Remembrance Day assembly at Stittsville Public School BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
It has become a tradition for Richard and Claire Leger of Stittsville to take part in the annual Remembrance assembly at Stittsville Public School. And this tradition continued this year as the two Silver Cross parents were at the school’s Remembrance assembly on Friday, Nov. 11, once again during the assembly accepting wreaths made by each class and placing them at the front of the stage as these wreaths eventually formed a garden of colour as wide as the stage. Again this year, the Legers were assisted by their granddaughter, Samantha MacDonald, the daughter of their daughter Sofie Leger. Samantha, who is now almost five years old, accepted many of the wreaths from the class representatives who had carried them to the front of the school’s gymnasium where the assembly was held and then she placed them beside others at the front of the stage, the whole collection of them growing as class after class presented its wreath. Samantha’s mother, Sofie Leger, who lives in Toronto, is the sister of Marc Leger who
was killed in a so-called ‘friendly fire’ bombing incident in Afghanistan on April 17, 2002. Sgt. Leger, then 29 years old, and three others who were killed were the first Canadian war deaths in Afghanistan. Sgt. Leger, a member of the 3rd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, had been deployed to Afghanistan in Feb. 2002. The library at Stittsville Public School is named the “Marc Leger Library” after Sgt. Leger. Claire Leger, Marc’s mother, was the Silver Cross Mother at the National War Memorial Remembrance Day ceremony in 2005. The Remembrance assembly at Stittsville Public School which was attended not only by all the students and staff at the school but also by many parents, some of them in Canadian Armed Forces uniform, heard a student presentation about peace and also heard a recitation of “In Flanders Fields,” the poem about poppies and war written by Col. John McCrae, a Canadian, in the First World War. A moment of silence to remember all those who have served and died in the cause of freedom was observed, with Mark Turnbull once again this year playing The Last Post and then Reveille on his trumpet.

john.curry@metroland.com

which is being held in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena on Saturday, Nov. 26 and Sunday, Nov. 27. This craft fair will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on each day. This Season’s Greetings craft fair is a fundraiser for the Ottawa Humane Society.
All Peanuts characters to be featured in play Continued from page 1
It’s all about the true meaning of Christmas and has become a Christmas tradition since it first aired on television in 1965. It’s free to attend. All of the Peanuts characters are featured in this play “A Charlie Brown Christmas” including not only Charlie Brown himself but his little sister Sally, his nemesis Lucy van Pelt and her brother Linus, Snoopy, Pig-Pen, Violet, Frieda, Schroeder, Patty, and Woodstock. Youth from Stittsville with their real life brothers and sisters playing siblings in the production will make up the cast of this presentation of “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” They are preparing for the production under the direction of Rick Gourlie. Allison Houston, the musical director at Stittsville United Church, has assembled a small band of local musicians who will provide Vince Guaraldi’s famous jazz score for the play. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was first presented in Dec. 1965 as an animated television special based on the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz. The initial broadcast received high ratings and critical acclaim and it has since become an annual broadcast on television, airing annually during the Christmas season. Its jazz soundtrack also achieved widespread success. In “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Charlie
Brown finds himself depressed despite the coming of Christmas. Lucy suggests that he direct a school Christmas play but in doing so he is ignored and mocked by his friends. The story touches on the over commercialization and secularism of Christmas today while reminding people of the true meaning of Christmas which is the birth of Jesus Christ. Charlie Brown, dispatched to obtain a “big, shiny aluminum tree,” instead chooses a tiny real tree which is ridiculed by the group. Charlie puts an ornamental ball on top of the tree with the branch promptly flopping over to one side. Eventually the rest of the gang, along with Snoopy, decorate the tree and end up singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” as Charlie Brown returns and he is greeted with “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown.” Charles M. Schulz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip which had become a worldwide sensation by the early 1960’s, was involved in the creation of this play “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which was also created thanks to the efforts of television producer Lee Mendelson and animator Bill Melendez. The play was developed and produced in a six month period leading up to Dec. 1965. The stage version of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” follows the story line of the initial television special. It has been performed at hundreds of schools and churches over the years.

Hard turn to the right
I
f you think back to your own interactions with individual Americans, you will probably remember them as kind and generous. But when acting in large groups – such as a federal election – Americans have a tendency to put themselves ahead of what’s good for the majority. If America got its collective policies in line with the individual ethos of being generous and helpful, Donald Trump would today be a footnote in history instead of the soon-enough most powerful man in the world. Americans are kind and they are big-hearted, but they don’t want to be told whom they should help. They want to decide that themselves. And that list seems to be growing shorter. How else to explain an election victory for Trump? His economic plan rests atop a promise to make people richer through trickle-down economics – tax cuts for the rich. It’s a system that encourages you to buy a
lottery ticket – yes someone will get rich, but most will get poorer. And if you don’t win and get rich, it’s your fault because you didn’t try hard enough. You were afforded every opportunity. Shoulda tried harder, sucker. The United States seems destined to relearn history. Trickle-down policies will rev up the economy in the short term as the rich invest and reap massive rewards. But in the longer term, the bull market will die down and all that will be left are a few people at the top with bigger cars, bigger yachts and bigger off-shore bank accounts. That high society, enriched again, will no doubt fail to take care of the most vulnerable. Health care will be privatized. Publically funded schools will be starved for resources. People at the bottom will try to survive day to day. They may beg on the streets and get a few coins in their cup from a fellow American who is generous enough to share one-on-one, but for some reason can’t stand the idea of helping a whole country live better.
Photo radar could increase safety around schools
I
t looks like we might have another go at photo radar in Ottawa. About time. When last we saw it, in the early 1990s, photo radar was doing quite well along Highway 401. Speeding was down, which was the main point of the exercise. People didn’t need to be caught speeding to change their behaviour; just the knowledge that they surely would be caught did the trick. But it wasn’t all that popular. A lot of people speed, a lot of people are confident that they can handle their vehicles above the speed limit, and a lot of people don’t like the government telling them what they can do in their cars. So it helped Mike Harris to be elected premier in 1995 when he promised to abolish the system. It has stayed abolished.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town If it comes back, as it appears it will, it will be in a different form. When Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Ottawa last week, she promised legislation that would allow cities to set up cameras in designated areas, including around schools. That seems like a better idea than photo radar on major highways. On a highway, 10 or even 20 kilometres per-hour above the speed limit may not make all that much difference, on a clear day with normal traffic. Drivers have good visibility and they have time to react.
In a residential area in a town or city it’s a different situation. Even traveling at the speed limit — usually 50 kilometres per hour — can be too fast on a narrow street with parked cars, bicycles and children playing or running to school. There is no margin for error. Most drivers know that. Many of them have experienced a close call— with a child or a dog running out into the street — and that has made them instinctively slow down in residential neighbourhoods and around schools. But not everyone does. Some people are inexperienced as drivers, some are distracted, some are simply reckless. Many of these people will not respond to publicity campaigns, speed limits or even common sense. But they will respond to the threat of being fined, particularly if there

is a certainty of being fined. Photo radar provides that certainty. One of the reasons people speed on the 401 is because they are pretty sure they won’t be caught. But if you drive on similar highways in the United States you will find many states where people don’t speed. That’s because state troopers are plentiful and visible. And the reason photo radar worked in the ’90s is because it made people certain they would be caught. So, as long as people are made aware of it, photo radar will work around schools. Not that there won’t be debate about that and there will be lots of time for it, since the provincial legislation hasn’t been passed and, after it is, city council will have to talk about it.

basis. Inevitably, as with any system of financial penalties, some will decry it as a cash grab. Point made, but so what? The cash grabbed might be better off with the city than in the hands of someone who doesn’t know enough to slow down near a school.

Young musicians to perform across Canada BY JESSICA CUNHA
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
A group of seven young Ottawa musicians including one from Stittsville will cross Canada in 2017 performing at youth centres to celebrate the country’s 150th anniversary. The Youth X Canada Music Tour 2017 will feature north Kanata artist Taylor Miles, Stittsville’s Noah Gardiner (stage name 4PointPanic), Ottawa musician Stefani Fedra and Gatineau’s Andrew Cassara, who will headline the tour. Aside from performing across the country, the artists will also take part in workshops with youth about positive mental health. “We’re not just going to play for people,” said 20-year-old Cassara, who grew up in Orléans. “We’re also going there to talk with people and inspire them. We don’t just show up and leave.” Partners for Mental Health is one of the tour partners, along with Youth Centres Canada and SGM Group Artists. Partners for Mental Health is a national charity that provides information and training to youth and youth groups in rural areas, towns
and small cities. “This seemed like a great opportunity to bring music and mental health together,” said PJ VankoughnettOlson, director of volunteer services and stakeholder relations. “There’s a definite link between music and expression and mental health and mental wellness,” she said. “Partners for Mental Health was created with the idea that it’s time we start thinking and supporting mental health in a way that is positive. This is such a great opportunity to do that.” The tour visits every province and territory, and the majority of cities and towns the musicians will play are small and rural. “That’s what really appealed to us about it; there’s a lot of high-risk communities involved here,” said Vankoughnett-Olson. “It’s an amazing opportunity,” said Cassara. “Especially to go and inspire others to follow their passion and their musical dreams. That’s a dream of my own as well; to help others and guide them.” The artists will host a kick-off event on Friday, Nov. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Osgoode Youth Association, located at 5479 Osgoode Main St.
Christmas luncheon is coming BY CAROLE HERBERT AND HELEN JAMES Special to the News
The upcoming November luncheon will be the Friendship Club’s Christmas luncheon. Non-perishable food items will be collected for the Stittsville Food Bank at this luncheon. The luncheon will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 12 noon at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. As this is the Club’s Christmas luncheon, the menu will include a turkey dinner with all the fixings along with a surprise dessert.
Non-perishable food items will be collected for the Stittsville Food Bank at this luncheon. The entertainment at this Christmas luncheon will be “Dutch Treat” who will provide lots of Christmas music. To reserve a place at this luncheon, please phone Gloria at 613831-8819 or Rosemary at 613-8366354 before Friday, Nov. 25. The Friendship Club holds a monthly luncheon on the last Wednesday of the month from 12 noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. There will be no luncheon in the month of December.
The young musicians – all between the ages of 17 and 25 – will visit 25 youth centres and 28 cities during 58 stops spread out over the course of the year. The tour is the brainchild of Diane McNulty, a Glen Cairn resident and founder of the Kanata Haven Youth Centre. The musicians were asked what it means to be a Canadian music artist and “they were stumped,” said McNulty. “They were all proud to come from Canada but they couldn’t pinpoint what made them a Canadian music artist. After this tour, they’re going to come back with a completely different answer. They’re going to know what it means to be a Canadian music artist.” The genres of music represented includes a range of styles, such as electronic dance music, hip-hop and rap, and pop. McNulty, who has hosted a number of mental health workshops in the community, said including a mental health aspect to the tour was a natural direction. “You go into these communities, you talk to the kids and just connect with them with music as a tool,” she said. “In a lot of these communities there isn’t a lot of support, so we’ll be bringing information. It’s helping to break the stigma.
“It’s bringing it all together with music as the foundation.” The tour, travel and accommodations are expected to cost an estimated $200,000. The group is applying for a number of Canada 150 grants, and seeking sponsorships and donations to help cover some of the costs. “Seventy-five per cent of the budget is transportation and accommodation, that’s the biggest challenge,” said McNulty. “We’ve whittled everything down to next to nothing but you can’t whittle down transportation.” The artists will be blogging their experience, using Facebook live and other social media sites, and will be filming the experience for a documentary. “These guys are unbelievable,” said McNulty. “They’re learning about the business and they’re learning about touring, which is going to be invaluable. “For Canada’s 150th, what better way to celebrate?” To donate or sponsor the trip, or for more information, visit youthxcanada.ca.

Plenty to mull over in federal leadership debate BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Ruth Beggs is thankful there are still months to go before Conservatives choose their new federal party leader. Emerging from the Orchardview Conference Centre in Greely on Nov. 13 minutes after nine of 12 leadership candidates made their pitch for the federal Conservative top job, Biggs said there was a lot of choice presented during the sold-out Leadership Conference hosted by
Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre. “It makes it more difficult,” said Beggs, a North Gower resident, one of about 500 people who attended. Beggs went with an open mind to shop for the right candidate before a leader is chosen next May. Her husband, Eric, said there were a lot of similarities between the candidates. “I still think we need a man like Stephen Harper to (lead), but I don’t know who that is,” he said, but added that Erin O’Toole resonated

with him the most given his parliamentary experience. Meanwhile, Bryan Winters of Stittsville said he didn’t get all the answers he was seeking, but has narrowed his choice to three contenders. He had hoped to hear Simcoe-Grey, Ont. MP Kellie Leitch speak, but she left early before the debate due to an incident at her home, according to reports. Candidates Steven Blaney, MP for LévisBellechasse, Que., and Daniel Lindsay, former president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, also did not participate. Winters said he agrees with Leitch’s bid to have visitors, immigrants and refugees screened for Canadian values, and took it one step further, suggesting newcomers should also been screened for their work experience and education. Debate questions ran the gamut: engaging young voters, age of consent, defence spending, how to build local riding associations, federalprovincial partnerships, media relations, building relations with Quebec and nuclear energy benefits. On the topic of combating crime but also protecting firearm ownership rights, Que. MP Maxime Bernier said there are gun regulations in place that are working, but that “if the government decides that one of your guns is an illegal gun I think the government must compensate you for that.” Andrew Scheer, who grew up in the Mooney’s Bay area, said the rights of law-abiding gun owners must be protected. “We can’t have a system where the RCMP starts making decisions based on how firearms look. It’s about what they actually do,” the Regina-Qu’Appelle MP said, adding that Conservatives have a good crime-fighting tract record with tough penalties on repeat offenders. Durham, Ont. MP Erin O’Toole said the Chretien Liberals “demonized” sport shooters and hunters by justifying the creation of the long-gun registry as a crime-fighting measure. “It did nothing for crime,” the retired military member said. Lisa Raitt, MP for Milton, Ont., also zeroed in on the registry. “You have to delink this notion of criminal activity necessitates coming from people who lawfully own firearms,” the former cabinet minister said. The key to combating crime will be appointing good justice and public safety ministers who understand issues, communicate and take advice from firearm-sector organizations, Raitt said. Andrew Saxton, a defeated North Vancouver MP, echoed the long-gun “boondoggle” and that criminals do not register their guns. “It took $2 billion to figure that out,” he said. Michael Chong, MP for Wellington-Halton Hills, Ont., also said he supports law-abiding hunters and farmers, but believes a different crime-fighting approach is needed in addition to punitive measures. “As someone who was raised in a Christian household I also believe in rehabilitation and redemption, and I think we made a mistake in getting rid of some of the rehabilitation programs in our prison system,” he said, before vowing to restore some of those if chosen as leader.
Saskatoon-University MP Brad Trost, who said he owns two types of guns and knows how to use them, is advocating for more prison cells to reduce overcrowding and boost rehabilitation efforts. Deepak Obhrai, who is the longest-serving Conservative MP, drew laughter when he quipped, “For the record, I shoot with a camera.” The Calgary resident said he too supports the rights of hunters and sport shooters, and also applauded the cancellation of the long-gun registry. Chris Alexander, a defeated Ajax-Pickering, Ont. MP and former immigration minister, said he just recently went hunting. He also said he worked with law-abiding gun owners in the lead-up to knocking down the registry. One question from the floor tested candidates on how they would engage young people — over and above the use of social media. In addition to engaging them on economic issues, the Conservative Party needs to give young people something to believe in, said Trost. “We need to make sure that we have idealistic issues where young people can go campaign for the Conservatives,” he said, adding that environment issues tend to draw young people to left-wing parties. Obhrai said young people form the majority and will be the future of the party. “If the Conservative Party, through their social policies, cannot attract them, we are in big trouble,” he said, adding the key is to ask them what they want, which is usually jobs. Alexander said the party “really did miss the boat on social media” in the last federal election. “Let’s tell our story,” he said, referring to the successes of Conservatives. Bernier suggested giving young people opportunities based on a real Conservative platform. Economic growth of 1.2 per cent this year doesn’t translate into purchasing power, which doesn’t bode well for the future, he said. But more free trade, lower taxes and more freedoms would create opportunities. The next leader, said Scheer, has to be able to connect with young people and convince them of the “intergenerational theft” that is happening and how it impacts their lives. “I tell people that the reason why I’m running is because I can’t afford to let (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau do to my kids what his father did to my generation,” he said to applause. Conservatives failed to provide a positive vision for young people in the last election, he said. “We ran a very negative campaign,” he said. According to O’Toole, Conservative principles must be front and centre when Conservatives speak with young people in the 2019 election. “They looked for the celebrity and some change in the last election,” O’Toole said, adding millennials will be looking for confidence and opportunities after three more years of “job churn, living in basements and unpaid internships.” But preaching at people to vote Conservative isn’t going to work, said Raitt, adding they have to be invited. See LEADERSHIP, page 11
Continued from page 10
“Sometimes it’s as simple as just asking and not expecting that people are naturally going to flock to us because we have the best policies,” she said. “Because it didn’t work for us last time.” Saxton said the priority must be listening to young people and using social media, which was lacking the last election and led to the party “failing miserably.” “I think the best thing we can do for young people is give them jobs — good, high-paying jobs,” he said, adding the current unemployment rate among young people is double the national average. Attracting millennials requires “a complete rethink” of the Conservatives’ online strategy, said Chong, which is the reason he said he supports free party membership. Internet giants such as Facebook, Gmail, Hotmail and Twitter understand that free
membership attracts young people, resulting in long-term dividends. “That’s why the Liberal Party did so well in the last election, by tripling up their membership,” Chong said, adding the Conservative Party can also attract young voters by revisiting its position on the environment and by having a credible plan to reduce emissions. Diane Dean, of Stittsville, said it will all come down to choosing someone who will be able to trounce Trudeau in the next election. “We can have all the social, cultural platforms that we want, but ultimately they have to beat the Liberals,” she said following the debate. “I still think there’s something that’s not been grasped. “I don’t believe Justin’s got charisma, but he’s certainly got something. He’s got the appeal of the millennials.” The next Conservative leadership debate is scheduled for Dec. 6 in Moncton, N.B.
Goulbourn Recreation Complex added to Canada Day camping BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
City council has passed a proposal that will see an expanded use of some recreation centres and arenas to allow for urban camping for Canada Day 2017. One of these recreation facilities to be used is the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville.
This idea emerged as a way to accommodate the demand around the country’s 150th birthday celebrations. In anticipation of an accommodation shortage for the Canada Day festivities next year, there’s a plan to create a temporary zoning amendment at some city sites to allow for extended parking and camping. The original price point was roughly $110 per night for four nights around Canada Day for those who wanted to use tents. Those in RVs would pay between $150 and $210 per night, depending on the size of space needed. Early bird packages could save those who want to use
tents $50 per night, said Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier. Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum congratulated staff on the creative thinking, but asked if individual site visits would be done to determine which of the city’s facilities offer the best space for campers. Dan Chenier, general manager for the city’s parks and recreation department, said visits are being done, which led to the addition of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex to the list. “It made sense to add it to the list of sites,” he said. “The GRC gives us the opportunity to reduce parking spots and add in more camping.” Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper asked staff to provide councillors with a financial breakdown. The idea is to charge enough to recoup the city’s costs, but Leiper said he is concerned there won’t be anything left in the city’s coffers to deal with the damage to the grass at the Tom Brown Arena – one of the sites shortlisted to allow campers.

Two concerts in Kanata, with one including Stittsville’s 4PointPanic Noah Gardiner, will be held over two days next week to raise funds for a national charity that addresses mental health issues. The two Raise Your Voice music events, on Nov. 20 and 21, will raise funds for two programs offered by Partners for Mental Health. “It’s two days of music festivals, one for youth and one for the workplace program,” said Michael Dixon, co-chair of the Ottawa chapter of Partners for Mental Health. “One thing that we wanted to do is have something in the west end of the city. Especially in the outlying areas there isn’t a whole lot of help for kids. That’s a serious issue.” The first fundraiser will be on Nov. 20, from 2 to 9 p.m., at Fat Tuesdays in the Kanata Centrum. The music festival will feature local artists including Andrew Cassara, Stefani Fedra, Taylor Miles, Stittsville’s 4PointPanic and Rebecca Rain, and will include a silent auction.
Proceeds raised at that event will benefit the youth program at Partners for Mental Health. Tickets are $10 in advance. They can be purchased online on Eventbrite at bit.ly/2dFxr7E or at the door for $12. “One thing we realize is one in five youth are developing depression and mental health issues,” said Dixon. “The youth program is … an opportunity for youth to discuss issues freely and to get help when needed. “We want our youth to know there is a safe place to go.” The second event takes place Nov. 21, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Milestones in the Kanata Centrum. Musical entertainment will include performances by Andrew Cassara, Rebecca Rain and Adam & Jon. A silent auction will also be held. Funds raised at this event will benefit the workplace mental health program offered by Partners for Mental Health. Admission is free. “Employee absenteeism, workplace mental health issues are a big part of that,” said Dixon. “We get employ-
ers to sign up to make workplace mental health a part of making sure that workplaces realize that workplace mental health is as valuable as dental coverage. ” The two music events are a way to bring music and conversations around mental health together, said Dixon. “If you find out you have cancer today, in two days you’re at a hospital getting treatment. But if you find out you have a mental illness, you’re waiting months,” he said.
Stittsville’s 4PointPanic Noah Gardiner will be performing in a ‘Raise Your Voice” concert fundraiser on Nov. 20 at Fat Tuesdays in Kanata.

SleepOUT combating youth homelessness BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
It’s called SleepOUT for Youth, a fundraiser in support of youth homelessness programs in Ottawa. And just like they have for the past two years, students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School will be taking part. Indeed, this year Sacred Heart will have two teams taking part in the overnight sleepout which happens on Thursday, Dec. 1/Friday, Dec. 2. Sacred Heart will have a team participating, just like in the previous two years. But new this year, a second team of Sacred Heart students will be participating, organized by grade 12 student Jessica Perigo who also sits on the Youth Cabinet of the Youth Services Bureau. It is the Youth Services Bureau which provides programs and services for homeless youth in the city of Ottawa. This year the SleepOUT for Youth is being held in a new location. For the past two years, it has been held at Ottawa city hall but this year it will be held on the field at TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park. All teams
will be assigned a “camp site” on the field where they can spend the night. Teams are required to take along whatever is needed to stay outside all night such as a tent, winter sleeping bags, blankets, pillows and warm clothing. The event will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1 with entertainment, activities and snacks provided throughout the evening. A free breakfast will close out the event at 7 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 2. Jessica Perigo, who participated in Sacred Heart’s last two SleepOUT experiences, is being helped in organizing and fundraising for her community team in this SleepOUT for Youth by Etienne Boucher who is the co-president of this year’s student council at Sacred Heart. Together, they are focussed on fundraising, having set a team goal of $4,000. It is estimated that it costs $1,000 for feed, shelter and cloth a homeless youth in the city of Ottawa. So this goal of $4,000 would mean that four homeless youth could be assisted. A bottle drive has been held and a bake sale is planned. There may also be a garage

sale. Another major fundraising initiative is holding a raffle on Sunday, Nov. 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Food Basics store on Hazeldean Road. A number of businesses in the community have already donated items for this raffle and more items are always welcome. More information is available from Jessica Perigo at jessperigo@icloud.com. The group has also set up a GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/ sleepout-for-youth-2016-2tzjhyp8 . It is proving popular as already the initial fundraising goal of $500 for this GoFundMe initiative has been achieved. The hope is that even more can now be raised in this way. Jessica says that it has not been difficult to get students to participate in this SleepOUT for Youth event as students want to get involved, even though youth homelessness is not necessarily an issue in the Stittsville area. However, she notes that there are an estimated 1,000 homeless youth in Ottawa. And indeed Stittsville is not immune to the issue. When he was out door knocking on the group’s bottle drive, Etienne encountered a youth in Stittsville who had just returned from a youth shelter in Ottawa. Etienne admits that this meeting with someone who has benefitted from youth homelessness programs in the city has provided extra motivation for him for this year’s SleepOUT for Youth. He says that the encounter opened his eyes
to how much the Youth Service Bureau’s programs are helping youth. Jessica points out that youth homelessness could happen to anyone anywhere and that it is not a circumstance that happens in only one specific area of the city. Jessica herself got involved with this SleepOut for Youth event at the urging of her sister. After taking part in the SleepOut and learning more about the problem and the Youth Services Bureau, she ended up joining the Youth Cabinet of the Youth Services Bureau. This Youth Cabinet meets every three weeks at the Youth Services Bureau with youth talking about how they can help with all of the Youth Services Bureau programs, not just its program to help homeless youth. The Youth Services Bureau programs and services are organized around four key areas: community, employment, mental health and youth justice. These programs and services are delivered by the Youth Services Bureau to youth aged 12 to 20 years old. You can get involved in support this year’s SleepOut for Youth and specifically the team of students being organized by Jessica Perigo and Etienne Boucher by going to the GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme. com/sleepout-for-youth-2016-2tzjhyp8 . You can also go to the team’s Youth Services Bureau page at ysb.convio. net/site/TR/Events/sleepOUT17?team_ id=1020&pg=team&fr_id=1070 .
This is to give notice of a proposed Official Plan Amendment that would bring the City of Ottawa Official Plan policies for significant woodlands into conformity with the new requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement 2014. The proposed amendment affects Official Plan Sections 2.4.2 – Natural Features and Functions, 3.11 – Urban Expansion Study Area, and 3.12 – Developing Community (Expansion Area). Public Meeting – Tuesday, December 13, 2016 The purpose of the Public Meeting is to provide the opportunity for the public to make oral and written submissions to the City prior to the amendment being considered by the Council. The Public Meeting will be held as part of the regular scheduled Planning Committee meeting at 9:30 a.m. Ottawa City Hall, 2nd floor, Champlain Room, 110 Laurier Avenue West. Summary of proposed changes The Official Plan Amendment would change the Official Plan policies for significant woodlands to conform to the new requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS). The PPS requires the use of Provincial criteria for the identification of significant woodlands. In the rural area, the policy changes would require the use of criteria from the Province’s Natural Heritage Reference Manual 2010 (NHRM) to identify significant woodlands. In the urban area, based upon the NHRM criteria for economic and social functional values, they would extend the significant woodland identification to include any urban woodland of 0.8 hectares or larger which is 40 years of age or older. The Official Plan policies for Urban Expansion Study Areas (Section 3.11) and Developing Communities (Section 3.12) would be changed to eliminate the current, two step evaluation process for significant woodlands. They would also be changed to allow Council to modify the current requirement for development proponents to convey any significant woodlands to the City for $1 prior to development. Such a modification would be conditional upon the proponent demonstrating to Council’s satisfaction that the proposed modifications would provide greater social and economic functions within surrounding community than retention and conveyance of the unmodified woodland. Further information Go to the city’s website at ottawa.ca/officialplan to review the draft amendment and background information. Submission requirements The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or e-mail. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the City of Ottawa on the proposed Official Plan amendment, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa or register to be notified at ottawa.ca/officialplan. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted by Council, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting, or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted by Council, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Direct your written submissions and/or questions to: Nick Stow, Planner Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 13000 Fax: 613-580-2459 Email: nick.stow@ottawa.ca Dated at the City of Ottawa this 17th day of November, 2016

A Remembrance service at the Stittsville Seniors Community (Villa) saw residents fill the lounge area to take part in the service. The service was conducted for the Stittsville Seniors Community by the Stittsville
Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion which provided a colour party and some of the participants for the ceremony. Ron Sheffield, a World War Two veteran of the Merchant Navy and a resident at the Stittsville Seniors Community, red the poem “In Flanders Fields” during the service. A wreath was laid at the service by Stitts-

At the service, Steve Malcolm on the keyboard played The Last Post and also played for the singing of “God Save the Queen” which wrapped up the service. At the completion of the service, Andrea McIntyre, the activity director at the Stittsville Seniors Community, thanked the Stittsville Legion for conducting such a beautiful service. She thanked the veterans present for their service and said the Stittsville Seniors Community was blessed to have a number of veterans living at the retirement home.

Richmond Royals Bantams are tournament champs SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Going undefeated in the tournament’s round robin play. Impressive. Scoring 25 goals while allowing only 7 goals in these games. Super. And then going on to win the tournament championship with a three-on-three overtime goal. Priceless! That’s what happened for the Richmond Royals Bantam B2 team as it came home as champions of the recent Arnprior tournament.
It was a case of hard work and determination that took the Royals to this championship. Playing five games in the round robin portion of the weekend tournament, the Royals used a “never give up” attitude and super team work to win all five games, scoring 25 goals while allowing only seven goals again in these five games. Stellar goaltending and great defensive work made this possible!
Look inside for the
FLYER
After fighting off four teams to make the A side championship final, the Richmond Royals went up against a speedy Nepean team. This championship game went deep into three-on-three overtime before Connor Cummings managed to win the game and tournament championship for the Royals with a great rebound goal. It was an awesome end to a memorable weekend!

Coffee house at South Carleton BY BETHANY WALKER
Special to the News
Homegrown talent at South Carleton High School (SCHS) performed in the Richmond school’s coffee house on Thursday, Nov. 3. Among the performers was Cassie Smith, a new student at SCHS this year who sang two songs: “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood and “Writings on the Wall” by Sam Smith. Cassie currently takes singing lessons and performed in music events at her
previous school. In her performance at this coffee house, she was assisted by Liam Maguire on drums and vocals and Brady Collier on guitar. A brand new band “Off Topic” was also among the performers at this coffee house. Their performance included the songs “Brainfood” by Milk Teeth and “Viking Death March” by Billy Talent. Lead singer Jaidan Stockill claims that the band was formed because she has a passion for making and performing music and
so she was given a little push from her friends to make this happen by forming the band. Jared Aitkens is the drummer for the band while Noah Hunt is on electric guitar and Nick Hubert plays bass guitar. The band plays music that ranges between punk and rock. Another debut artist at this coffee house was Kasey Charland, a grade ten student who unveiled two original songs. With no titles as yet, the songs were simply named “52” and “53.” Kasey is completely self taught. His songwriter process involves writing what he feels and going from there. He hopes to continue writing songs and someday to have the opportunity to release a demo of his music. This was the second and final coffee house of 2016 at South Carleton

Veterans have opportunity to tell their stories SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Veterans now have the opportunity to tell their stories if they wish. The Friends of the Canadian War Museum in partnership with the War Museum have launched a veterans interview program. Two interview teams with members themselves veterans have been established to conduct interviews, either in English or in French.
The actual interview typically is taking 60 to 90 minutes. However, prior to any interview, the team sends the veteran a questionnaire to provide data that will allow for background research. This allows the team to customize the interview to the veteran. All Royal Canadian legion branches in the National Capital area including the Richmond and Stittsville branches are covered by this veterans interview program.

A father and son with a combined six decades of service in the Canadian military brought the story of Canada’s wartime and peacekeeping to this year’s Remembrance Day assembly at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. Petty Officer First Class Mark Herrndorf, who has 32 years of military service, and his father Frederik Herrndorf, a 30 year veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy who also experienced the hardships of war first-hand as a boy growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland in the Second World War, were special guests at the assembly. In his remarks to the gymnasium full of students and parents, a number of them in uniform, Petty Officer First Class Mark Herrndorf told about Canadian Col. John McCrae who wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields” in World War One. He noted that the red poppy has become the flower of Remembrance but he also said that the poppy also is a reminder of how terrible war is. He told how Canada, then a country with a population of only eight million people, saw over half a million young people sign up for duty in the First World War. He recited the statistics that one in ten of these soldiers died and one in four of them returned home wounded in some way. Petty Officer First Class Herrndorf remarked how what is now known as the First World War was to be the war to end all wars but sadly war happened again when the Second World War broke out. Over one million Canadians served
in this war. And while this was the last of the World Wars, war did not end with the Second World War, he pointed out. The Korean War in the early 1950’s saw 27,000 Canadians serve with 1500 injured and 516 killed. After the Korean War, Canadians have risked life and limb to keep the peace around the world, Petty Officer First Class Herrndorf said, with over 125,000 Canadians serving in hot spots around the world, some dying so that others could live in peace. Then came Afghanistan where 40,000 Canadian military served over a 12 year period, with 158 paying the ultimate price of death. The Canadian military continues a tradition of service today, both in Canada and around the world, Petty Officer First Class Herrndorf said. This could be in fighting forest fires at Fort McMurray, conducting search and rescue missions, patrolling Canada’s skies overhead, serving at sea to protect Canada’s territorial waters and helping Canada’s allies elsewhere. Right now, he said, Canada is involved in the Middle East, trying to stamp out the forces of terrorism, while others are helping keep the peace or are advising other nations around the world. He reminded those at the assembly that Canada’s veterans and soldiers do not expect much but he suggested that when you see a person in uniform or a veteran, stop and thank them for their service and perhaps even take a selfie with them. Petty Officer First Class Herrndorf noted that Canada will be cel-
ebrating the 150th anniversary of its birth as a nation in 2017, saying that this will be a time to remember the wonderful country that Canadians have but also should be a time to remember the sacrifices made by those in uniform over the years. “We must never forget them,” he said, “their sacrifice or their service.” Petty Officer First Class Herrndorf ended his remarks by leading the assembly in reciting the “Youth Pledge,” a pledge reminding the youth of today to remember Canada’s veterans. This Nov. 11 Remembrance Day assembly at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School featured a number of student presentations in song by students, all with a focus on Remembrance and peace.

‘Remember what those before us have done...’ Continued from page 18
This included one student presentation which saw students weave a portrayal of the Highway of Heroes across the length of the gymnasium in front of their assembled fellow students and parent guests. In his remarks at the assembly, A. Lorne Cassidy principal Andrew Canham said that the incredible and free nation of Canada exists today because of those who have served the country “so nobly and bravely� over the years. He cited the contributions of Canadians in the two World Wars, the Korean War and even the Boer War in South Africa. “It is their effort that have made our country and our JOHN CURRY/METROLAND world what it is today,� he said.

than it is in today, saying that Canadians today can learn from what has happened in the past and also learn from the example of those who have served so bravely. He reminded the assembly to remember why Canadians wear a poppy on Remembrance Day. “Remember what those before us have done so we can live in this wonderful nation,� he said. The wreath laying ceremony at this assembly saw representatives from each class as well as from the staff and parents carry wreaths from the rear of the gymnasium up through the middle of the assembled students, presenting the wreaths for placement along the front of the stage in the gymnasium. This was followed by The Last Post, a moment of silence and then Reveille. The playing of O Canada by the school band concluded the assembly.

‘Movember’ fundraiser at Stittsville Seniors Community BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
It was moustache time at the Stittsville Seniors Community on Tuesday, Nov. 8. That’s when a month-long “Movember” fundraiser for prostate cancer took centre stage with an afternoon of entertainment and treats. November is “Movember” month at the Stittsville

Seniors Community on Stittsville Main Street when funds are being raised to help in combating prostate cancer. In addition, “Movember” is being held to help raise awareness about prostate cancer. A donation of the funds raised during the month of November will be presented to the Canadian Cancer Society. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the “Movember” focus for the month was highlighted in a fun way, not only with music provided by the duo of Bob and Don and their selfpublicized “Toe Tappin’ Tunes” but also by the serving of treats which were cupcakes topped with a small black moustache on a toothpick. But this was not all! There were false black moustaches available which some staff members and some residents wore in keeping with the monthly theme. The duo of Bob Montgomery from Arnprior on keyboard and Don Patterson from Orleans on trumpet and vocals have entertained at the Stittsville Seniors Community previously as well as at other retirement residences in the area. The two long-time friends presented an array of music ranging from big band tunes like “In the Mood” to perennial favourites like “You Are My Sunshine” and “Cruising Down the River” to rock ’n roll hits like “Blue Suede Shoes” and “Hound Dog.” They wrapped up their performance with British singer Vera Lynn’s wartime song “We’ll Meet Again,” one of the most famous songs of the Second World War era. Some of the tunes enticed several of the residents in the audience in the lounge area to get up and dance, with activity director Andrea McIntyre dancing with some of them. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting
men in Canada. It is a malignant tumour that starts in the cells of the prostate and can spread to other organs. “Movember” is a movement which began in 2003 in Australia with 30 men taking up the challenge of growing a moustache in November to create support and awareness about prostate cancer. Since then, the resulting Movember Foundation has become among the top non-government organiza-
tions in the world, with Movember marked in numerous countries around the world including Canada, Australia, France, Sweden, South Africa, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Since 2003, over five million people, both men and women, have participated in Movember activities. A total of $759 has been raised since 2003 and since 2003, a total of 1200 men’s health projects have been funded.

‘Magic in the Wind’ art exhibition BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
How do you paint wind since it is invisible? But its impact and presence are very much visible and can be captured by an artist. So the new “Magic in the Wind” art exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the lobby area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville lives up to its name as many of the participating artists are showing the impact and presence of the wind. It still cannot be seen itself but the proof of its existence is there in the paintings. John Edkins’ photo entitled “Windswept” shouts out the effect of wind, as it
depicts a solitary leaning pine tree, the result of the wind constantly blowing over the rocky outcropping which is home to this tree. John took this “Group of Seven” kind of scene during a visit to a provincial park on Georgian Bay. Vera van Baaren’s mixed media work “One of those days” certainly shows the impact of wind, as one person with an umbrella is walking leaning into the wind, using the umbrella to block the wind while another person is holding an umbrella which has been turned inside-out b the wind. You can just feel the briskness of the wind in this painting! Catherine Gutsche’s acrylic “Poppies in the Wind” depicts a number of poppies
being buffeted by the wind as indicated by swirls in the painting, indicating the wind. Vera van Baaren’s large mixed media piece “And Off They Go” shows a big white ball losing individual little seeds, much like a white-headed dandelion spreading its seeds in the wind. There’s no disputing the wind element in Charles Rogers’ photograph entitled “Wind Power.” It is a photo of a windmill. Louise Barker’s oil painting “Wind -Carved Dunes” has wind written all over it even though it is not itself depicted in the painting. The sandy dunes in the painting show the power of wind in transforming a landscape. See AT THE OWAA GALLERY, page 23

Three birds in flight just over the sandy dunes are soaring in the unseen wind. Charles Rogers’ photo “Fair Breeze” shows a sailing ship with its sails billowing in the breeze. The wind is invisible but the impact on the sails is there for all to see. Bev Lafortune’s photo “A Moonlit Sail” shows a three-masted sailing yacht in a harbour, with the moon rising in the background. Trudy Daley’s “Sailing in the Wind” shows seven sailboats on the water, with a birch tee with colourful leaves on shore in the foreground of the painting. John Edkins’ photo “Climbing” shows a bird in flight against a blue sky. Bur surely the wind is helping this bird in its ascent into the skies! Stittsville artist Patrick Mason, who loves to visit Algonquin Park, has two works in this exhibition, both of them generated by Algonquin Park. “Jack Pine, Achray Station, Algonquin Park” is a vertical oil painting with blue and green as its dominant colours. Patrick also has a smaller oil painting in the exhibition, entitled “Reflections on Peck Lake Trail in Algonquin Park.”
Using greens, blues and reds, this painting features water surrounded by forest which is also reflected in the water. Stephanie Robertson’s photo “Petals in the Wind” shows two white floral blooms. She also has another photograph in the exhibition, one entitled “Green Wave” which depicts water on the move. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s acrylic painting entitled “Cloudy Sky” shows a scene with a solid cloudy sky and trees. The exhibition also includes a photograph taken by Sheila Turner-Whalen showing a sunset at Clayton Lake. Kat McClure’s acrylic painting “Passion” is a large abstract work, with blue as its dominant colour but also featuring black swirls and circles. Michael Goguen’s oil painting “The Old Castle” in this exhibition is a typical example of his creativity as the painting features a castle on a rocky outcropping, two lurking panthers, planets in the sky and more. There’s always lots to discover in a Michael Goguen painting. Stittsville photographer Sylvie Sabourin has two photos in this exhibition. See ART EXHIBITION, page 24

Stittsville Lions Club supports Kevin Frost BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
He’s blind and he’s deaf. But this has not stopped Kevin Frost of Orleans from becoming a world class speedskater. Indeed, last March he finished 11th in the world in long track speed skating in the Netherlands – and this was in competing against able bodied skaters. He’s a three-time world champion in blind short and long track speedskating and he hopes that someday speedskating becomes a Paralympic sport when more countries are involved with the sport. But Kevin has now become involved in other sports as well. Last May he took up blind golfing and went on to win low net honours in the blind golf championship in Canada. And last October he finished second for low net in the American Blind Golf Stroke Play Championships in Texas. He has also taken up tandem blind cycling and hopes to represent Canada in this sport. Last August, he won the silver medal in an Ontario Para-Cycling Race in Mississauga. He will be focussing on these two new sports in the coming years but he also wants to try two other sports as well, curling and skiing.
In addition to his sporting involvement, Kevin also is a motivation speaker, travelling the world to give presentations, geared at changing people’s attitudes on how they can overcome hurdles in everyday life. Kevin was at a recent meeting of the Stittsville District Lions Club to accept a financial donation from the Club to help him with the sporting and speaking endeavours. The Stittsville District Lions Club, along with Kevin’s own Orleans Lions Club, has been a long time supporter of Kevin. Kevin has Usher’s Syndrome which is a condition in which a person loses hearing when young and then loses vision later in life. He was 11 years old when he lost his hearing and then in his 30’s when his vision deteriorated, ending not only his work as a hockey referee but also his daily work as well. Life hit rock bottom for him when he went through a divorce (he has three children) but then he got involved in speed skating and with the support of Lions Clubs, a skating coach and as guide dog, he flourished as a speed skater. He currently can only hear with the help of a hearing aid and he now has only two percent vision. Kevin has also reached out to help others, travelling to Mexico where he has helped deaf children get hearing help.

‘We Salute Our Heroes’ sung at cenotaph BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
“We Salute Our Heroes.” This was the title of a new original song written by Brenda Hamilton which she sang at Stittsville’s Remembrance Day service on Nov. 11, praising those who have served proudly in the military. Accompanying herself on the guitar, she sang the song to the close to 400 people who attended the 2 p.m. Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph at the front of the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. Brenda, who works for the Department of Veterans Affairs, wrote the song earlier this year. She hopes to record the song in the coming year. Brenda is well known around the Stittsville Legion branch as she hosts a Wednesday evening music evening at the branch. She herself entertains at weddings, anniversaries, family parties and other events. Her repertoire includes classic country, folk music, 60’s rock, new country and gospel. While Brenda’s singing and new original song were a new addition
to the traditional Remembrance Day service in Stittsville, the remainder of the service followed tradition. The annual parade led by a Legion colour party and including the McNab Pipes and Drums band, veterans, serving military personnel, RCMP officers, Stittsville District Lions Club members, Scouting and Guiding participants and Ottawa Fire Service firefighters left the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street about 1:45 p.m., arriving at the cenotaph just before 2 p.m. where spectators had filled portable bleachers which had been set up for the occasion. Ron Currie of the Stittsville Legion served as the MC for this 2016 Remembrance Day service which included the singing of O Canada, a prayer led by Msgr. Joseph Muldoon, the playing of The Last Post and Reveille, the reading of “The Blood Red Poppy” by CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, the recitation of the poem “In Flanders Fields” by Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, the laying of wreaths by governments, organizations, businesses and individuals, the singing of “God Save The

Queen” and a parade march-off to head back to the Legion Hall, passing a reviewing stand on the way. While blue, cloud speckled skies and sunshine prevailed for this
year’s Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph in Stittsville, cool weather (the digital sign at the Bradley’s Insurance office on Stittsville Main Street which the parade
passed displayed a temperature of two degrees Celsius) and a fierce wind combined to put a winter-like bite into the day’s weather conditions.

Johnny Leroux spent year and nine months at front in Korean War BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
To believe the M.A.S.H. television show, depicting the Korean War, the mess tent was a place of tasteless food, the butt of jokes by Hawkeye Pierce and his M.A.S.H. cohorts. But nothing could be farther from the truth as relayed by Stittsville’s Johnny Leroux who was a cook on the front lines of the Korean War.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Johnny Leroux, a Korean War veteran, places a wreath at the cenotaph in Stittsville on Nov. 11.
“The food was delicious,” Johnny contends, perhaps reflective of the fact that he was the cook but also perhaps indicative of a view closer to reality than the M.A.S.H. television show. He spent a year and nine months at the front, from March 1952 to December 1953, cooking for the troops and also fighting in the trenches when the North Koreans attacked. He says that the food included fresh beef and turkey, with the only non-fresh food being powdered eggs and canned milk. “We ate well,” he says, noting that there were cases and cases of food as well as big cans of chocolate syrup, plenty of chocolate bars and unlimited cigarettes and even American cigars. But it was still on the front lines of a war zone and there was constant bombardment with mortars by the North Koreans. Many times the troops would be ready to eat and a mortar attack would happen, delaying the meal until the shelling stopped. Although Johnny’s location was never overrun by the North Koreans, he did lose his kitchen twice due to enemy action. “I lost two kitchens in the time we were there,” Johnny says.
The first time that he lost his kitchen happened when two tanks were stationed on top of a hill overlooking the camp and his kitchen. The North Koreans were shelling the location and one shell hit one of the tanks, deflecting off it and ending up destroying Johnny’s kitchen housed in a tent. He recalls that he had roast beef cooking in the kitchen’s big ovens at the time. The other time that he lost his kitchen was the result of a mortar attack by the North Koreans, with mortars hitting the kitchen and destroying the tent again. Johnny and the other troops were in their bunkers at the time, the normal procedure during a mortar attack. Johnny says that with mortar attacks, a soldier drops to the ground when hearing a mortar coming in. This protects the person from the explosion and subsequent flying shrapnel. If a soldier hears a mortar shell coming, it means that it will not be a direct hit. It is the mortar shells that a soldier does not hear that will be a direct hit. When the North Koreans attacked the Canadian position, Johnny would join the others in the trenches and, as a certified sharpshooter, would handle a 30 caliber gun. “I think we had six attacks we
Make Room for Family Adventures. Buy and Sell Locally.
were involved in,” Johnny says, while noting that when the North Koreans were not attacking, they were constantly shelling the Canadian position. Johnny served in Korea with both the 1st and 3rd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. He was originally supposed to be there for a year but because there was no one to replace him, he stayed on for another nine months. He served initially with “Dog Company” and then switched to “Charlie Company”, both stationed on the front lines. He was under no illusions of bravery while in Korea. “When you’re there, you have no idea of being brave,” Johnny says. He says that soldiers in combat zones try not to get too close to their buddies because of the potential impact of their death if it happens. “You learn to do that,” he says. “That’s part of war.” A total of 516 Canadian soldiers were killed in the Korean War which lasted from 1950 to 1953. They are buried in the United Nations cemetery there. A number of years ago, Johnny re-visited Korea with a group from the Korean Veterans Association. He was amazed by the way that the
country has recovered from the war, with subways, fast trains, six lane highways, underground stores and high rise buildings. On the trip, he visited the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea and was even in the building where the peace treaty was signed. He even saw the North Korean guards, just over the line separating the two Koreas which is marked on the ground. One thing that Johnny noticed about Korea on this trip was the elimination of the ever-present stench of rice paddies which had prevailed during the Korean War. The country has completely reconfigured the landscape for its rice paddies, feeding them with fresh water and eliminating this stench which Johnny recalls as being “horrible” during the Korean War. Johnny says that the South Korean people today are very appreciative of the efforts of Canada and the other United Nations countries involved in the Korean War. “Even the people on the street,” he says, telling how strangers would bow to them as they walked along the street as a sign of thanking them for the war efforts. “They can’t do enough for you,” he says about his experience visiting South Korea.

Two percent increase in police budget Despite the challenges of a growing and aging population, along with a record number of shootings and homicides for 2016, the Ottawa police budget will stick to a two per cent, or $8.9 million, increase. The increase would bring the gross operating budget to $320.2 million. The police services board tabled the budget on Nov. 7 – two days earlier than planned due to commitments from board members. One such commitment was that of Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who plans to attend the opening of the Barrhaven Costco. It was Harder’s last meeting after six years. Harder said she was honoured to have served alongside her colleagues, but cited the pressures from the planning committee workload as the reason for stepping aside to create a place for Kanata

150th birthday. Bordeleau said the force has identified 10 major events, which will cost $1.5 million to police, but the force should recoup those costs from other levels of government or the organizers. The problem is, the event list is constantly changing, and there’s no guarantee that other levels of government will pitch in. “The city is aware that if we don’t recoup the costs, we could be in a deficit situation at the end of next year,” Frazer said. The draft budget will represent $11 increase on the average homeowners property tax bill. The forecast budget from 2018-2020 includes 2.7, 2.6 and 2.3 percent increases respectively. The city will table the draft budget on Nov. 9. The board will hear public delegations on their portion on Nov. 28. The budget is slated for approval on Dec. 14.

The force hired 25 officers this year and will be hiring 25 in 2018 – bringing that total to 100 new officers over three years. “We will be in a better position to know if the hiring plan will be successful in 2018,” he said. There’s a perception that the changes to the frontline deployment model will reduce community policing officers by 33 per cent, KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli said. Egli attended the board meeting to deliver letters from some of his community associations, as well as the Knoxdale-Merivale Community Association – which represents the community associations across the ward. “There’s a feeling this will have a negative impact on policing,” Egli said.

as a result of the increased crime, overspending by $2.5 million. Despite that, Debra Frazer, director general of corporate services for the police, said the police force believes that their new frontline deployment will be more “flexible and nimble” to help deal with staffing needs. Several councillors on the police services board asked chief Bordeleau if the planned 25 new hires would be enough to deal with the increase in violent crime. Ottawa police will be changing their service delivery model in January, which the chief and other senior members say will help to address staffing issues. For the time being, 25 officers, along with 25 officers that were freed up from front desk work within the force should be enough, Bordeleau said. The hiring of 25 officers will cost $2.1 million, the report to the board says.
in one community,” Bordeleau said, addressing the challenges to the force’s overtime budget. The community is also more hesitant to come forward, Bordeleau said. “There were 20 or 30 people in the bar watching the altercation, but by the time we got there with the lights and sirens, everyone had taken off,” he said. “Despite that, investigators were able to solve it in two days.” But the community needs to come forward if they want to stop the people that commit these crimes, he said. “I understand that people may be concerned about retaliation, but if we don’t catch the people committing these crimes, they will continue,” he said. Another stabbing occurred on Rideau and Nelson streets the same night as the board meeting. A 17-year-old boy was charged as a result. The police force doubled their overtime budget for 2016
South Coun. Allan Hubley. The board heard from chief Charles Bordeleau that policing is becoming more complex as a result of the aging population and the change in the nature of crime. “The number of calls for service have stayed basically the same, but they’re more involved,” he said, pointing to a recent search for an elderly gentleman with dementia. “That takes a lot of resources,” he said. The other problem is the shift among the criminal element, Bordeleau said, adding it’s not acceptable to settle a dispute with a knife or a gun. Bordeleau spoke following a weekend with the city’s 16 and 17th homicides. The last of which, was at Piper’s Bar and Grill on St. Laurent Boulevard on Nov. 6. Solomon Odekunle died after being stabbed in the neck with a beer bottle. “There’s no rhyme or reason to some of these crimes and they aren’t concentrated

loses to St. Pius SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Three games in three days for the Richmond Royals of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. And three victories – Wow! On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13 at the Richmond arena, the Royals hit double digits in goals scored as the players skated to a 10-3 win over the visiting Athens Aeros. Richmond led only 1-0 after the first period and 4-1 after two periods before potting six goals in the third period to win by a 10-3 score. Joey Laird had a big game for the Royals, scoring four goals. Mike DiBello chipped in with a hat trick while Aaron Hickie scored a pair of goals. Jordan Boutilier scored the other Royals’ goal. Matt Veaudry, Aaron Hickie and Troy Quinn all picked up three assists in the game while Mike DiBello, Zach Cohen and Jordan Boutilier all had two assists.

On Saturday, Nov. 12, the Royals travelled to the Leo Boivin Community Centre in Prescott to take on the hometown Prescott Flyers. The Royals led 2-0 after the first period and had built up a 3-0 lead before Prescott roared back with three goals before the end of the second period to tie up the game 3-3. But then Richmond scored with less than a minute and a half to go in the second period to take a 4-3 lead and the Royals never looked back after that, scoring four unanswered goals in the third period to win by an 8-3 score. The Royals peppered the Prescott net with 37 shots while Royals goalie Patrick Kealey faced 28 shots. Tate Leeson scored two goals for the Roy-
als in this game. Single goals were scored by Jack Chudleigh, Matt Veaudry, Wyatt Parsons, Mackenzie Mercier, Patrick Yates and Aaron Hickie.

On Friday, Nov. 11, the Richmond Royals travelled to Winchester to play the hometown Winchester Hawks, coming back with a 3-1 victory. After a scoreless first period, the Royals scored the only goal of the second period to take a 1-0 lead into the third period. A goal on a penalty shot taken by Mike DiBello early in the third period gave the Royals a 2-0 lead. Winchester came back to make it a 2-1` game with just under ten minutes to play but a Richmond goal at the 17:40 mark sealed the deal for the Royals, giving the Richmond squad a 3-1 win. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Matt Allan, Mike DiBello (on the penalty shot) and Jack Chudleigh. Picking up assists in the game for the Royals were Troy Quinn, Jordan Currie, Zach Cohen and Joey Laird. The Royals directed 38 shots at the Winchester net in this game while Winchester replied with 24 shots again Royals’ goalie Nick Bond.

Volunteers needed BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Over 150 volunteers are needed to stage the annual Stittsville Parade of Lights organized by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). It all happens on Saturday, Nov. 26 with lighted floats making their way along Stittsville Main Street to the delight of thousands of onlookers. But this highlight of the pre-Christmas season in Stittsville all depends on the participation of volunteers. Just what will these volunteers be doing? Well, there is a need for barricade monitors who are stationed at the traffic barricades which are erected where side streets intersect with Stittsville Main Street. These barricades are to block traffic from entering Stittsville Main Street just before and during the parade. This is a great way to see the parade as you are standing right there beside the barricade at Stittsville Main Street with a close-up view of the passing lighted floats. Students are reminded that volunteering with the Stittsville Village Association for the Stittsville Parade of Lights very definitely counts towards your accumulation of volunteer service hours. So, you kill two birds with one stone – you have fun being part of the excitement of the
parade while also chalking up some volunteer service hours. It’s a win-win situation. This is also a great opportunity for a parent and a high school child to spend some time together, helping out with this community event. For more information about how you can become a barricade monitor and help out this year’s Stittsville Parade of Lights, please contact Marilyn Jenkins at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com or by phone at 613836-5075. One more thing: there is still lots of room for float entries in the parade. If you are thinking about entering a float and would like more information, please contact Marilyn Jenkins at jenkinsdm1@ rogers.com or by phone at 613-836-5075. This year’s Christmas Parade of Lights will take place on Saturday, Nov. 26 starting at 6 p.m. The parade will leave from the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Stittsville Main Street and will proceed south on Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street where it will disband. Immediately following the parade, the Christmas lights at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street will be turned on in a brief ceremony, marking the official beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville.

in advance. Lyoness and Judy Woodstock were inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014. At the height of their career, this brother/sister duo guested on the nationally syndicated Opry North radio series and appeared on radio and TV shows in Canada and Nashville. Judy was also a featured vocalist on Terry Carisse’s widely acclaimed “A Gospel Gathering” album. Lyoness and Judy have formed the Gospel Matters Band with Roger Heroux and Wilf Arsenault. Lyoness and Judy were both born in Ottawa and raised in Poltimore, QC. They both entered the world of music as youngsters, with Lyoness performing as early as the age of six and Judy making her stage
debut at the age of 13. In 1967, when the family moved to Stittsville, Lyoness and Judy formed their first band, the Good Tymes, and performed regularly throughout the Ottawa Valley and Western Quebec. In 1975, they formed the group Stetson and began a career as a full-time touring act, working the country club and festival scene from Canada’s western provinces to Nova Scotia. They launched their duo recording career in 1979 with the Snocan Records release “What Are We Doing,” a tune written by Judy. The song earned them nominations for Best New Artist and Best Duo/ Group in RPM’s Big Country Awards. They followed this up with other recordings such as the Neville Wells-penned song “The Wedding Pledge.”

Town hall meetings SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt has two town hall meetings with constituents in Goulbourn left in his series of 11 meetings which he has been holding across his ward since Sept. 20. On Wednesday, Nov. 30, councillor Moffatt is holding one of these meetings at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. He finishes up this series of town hall meetings on Wednesday, Dec. 7 with a meeting at the Canadian Golf and Country Club at Country Club Village west of Stittsville. Both of these meetings will get underway at 7 p.m. At these meetings, councillor Moffatt will provide updates both on city-wide issues as well as on community issues. Input and feedback on topics of both a general nature and of a specific community nature will both be welcomed at these meetings. All ward residents are invited to attend. This series of town hall meetings by councillor Moffatt mirror action that the councillor took in 2012 when he held a series of town hall meetings across the ward at the midway point in his four year term of office then.

Huskies are off to championship game BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The Sacred Heart High School Huskies are off to the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association junior girls (tier 1) basketball championship game. The Huskies earned their way to the championship game thanks to a 45-38 victory over the John McCrae Secondary School Bulldogs in a semi-final playoff game at the Huskydome at Sacred Heart on Thursday, Nov. 10. But it wasn’t an easy victory as the Huskies, who had a four point lead 25-21 in the third quarter, ended up falling behind 32-29 entering the fourth quarter. The Huskies, tough, came back in the fourth quarter but the Huskies still only had a 37-36 lead with a little less than five minutes to play. But then the Huskies scored eight straight unanswered points to take a 45-36 lead with only a minute and a half to play. The Bulldogs scored a final two points as the game ended with the Huskies victorious with a 45-38 score. The Huskies will now go on to play in the championship game against the Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School which defeated Nepean High School 55-45 in the other semi-final game on Thursday, Nov. 10.

The only loss was a 65-48 defeat at the hands of the Longfields David Heights Secondary School squad which ended up finishing in first place in the regular season with a perfect record of ten wins and no losses. The championship final will be a rematch between these two teams. In the regular season, Sacred Heart had defeated the
John McCrae Secondary School Bulldogs by a close 43-42 score. John McCrae Secondary School finished the regular season tied for third place with a record of seven wins and three losses. In the ten-game regular season, the Sacred Heart Huskies scored 480 points while allowing only 390 points.

My elderly mother was diagnosed with dementia a few months ago. She is rapidly deteriorating. She does not have signed Power of Attorney documents. I have three other siblings. We need to sell her house and get access to her finances to pay her bills. What do we have to do? Depending on your mother’s current mental capacity she might still be able to appoint an attorney under power of attorney for property or personal care. In order to determine whether your mother still has the mental capacity to execute power of attorney documents she will have to undergo a capacity assessment performed by a specially trained health care professional. If the capacity assessment finds that your mother has capacity to appoint an attorney under powers of attorney, she can visit a lawyer to help her prepare and sign powers of attorney documents.

‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ and they sure did! BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
It was called “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and, boy, it sure lived up to its name. This fundraiser for the Richmond Village Refugee Welcome group saw the Rev. Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at St. Philip’s Church in Richmond rockin’ with dancing, singing, shouting, clapping and laughter as guest entertainer George Thomas kept up a steady stream of energetic music and associated group antics, causing a controlled bedlam of fun to pervade the hall. There was belly dancing, table dancing, line dancing and more as the over 200 ladies at the event let down their collective hair and had lots of fun. Yes, these girls just wanted to have fun and that’s what they did. It all happened on Saturday evening, Nov. 12 and, of course, there was more to this event than just fun. It raised $17,397.97 to help with settling a refugee family in Richmond. Indeed, Scotiabank itself donated $5,000 to the event, matching ticket sale revenue for tickets sold at the Richmond branch. Helping raise the funds were a silent auction and also an eight-item live auction presided over by the event’s MC and erstwhile auctioneer Brian Goudge which pulled in a total of $2,460 which included $700 for a four-course dinner for ten prepared and served by chef Shawn Traversy and $600 for a painting called “Red Glory” by the late John
Mlacak. There was also a raffle draw with the prizes being an outdoor entertaining set valued at $300 and also a crisp $100 bill. There even was a door prize of a $25 gift card for Royals Restaurant in Richmond. All of the fun-filled activity at the event, which also included a buffetstyle dinner prepared and served by red-vested members of the St. Philip’s Knights of Columbus, desserts provided by the St. Philip’s Catholic Women’s League and a bar with all of the proceeds going to the cause, was orchestrated by entertainer George Thomas who changed costumes just about as often as he changed the high energy songs on his musical equipment. He knows how to get a crowd up and engaged, at one time moving swiftly around through the tables on in-line skates, dressed as a hockey referee. This got all of the ladies up and dancing not only at their tables but around the hall, in the aisles between the tables, on the stage next to George and wherever else the spirit moved them to be. Glow sticks made their appearance, sparking another outburst of dancing and fun. Bling such as a horn, a tiara and a ring were provided, one each to each of the 24 tables at the event, another cause for more group dancing and fun. And when George played the disco classic 1978 song “Y.M.C.A.,” the crowd again erupted in a flurry of arm-stretching dance – lots of energy and lots of fun!
This was followed by a time of joining hands and swaying together to tunes like Dean Martin’s 1956 hit “That’s Amore” and Frank Sinatra’s renowned “New York, New York” song which could be considered one of his signature songs. In her remarks at the conclusion of the evening, just after 9 p.m., head organizer Ruth Cameron, who was described as a “fundraiser extrodinaire” by MC Brian Goudge, thanked everyone who
was involved with her in organizing the event. “If we all do a little, we can accomplish a lot,” she said and that’s just what happened at this “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” night which saw everyone there have lots of fun while also helping raise funds to support Richmond’s refugee family. It was a real community effort in staging this event. The Knights of Columbus of St. Philip’s Parish
donated the use of the hall as well as the bar proceeds. They also provided the meal at a reduced cost. Gisele and Peter Moore set up the church hall for the event. Kelly Funeral Homes also provided hands to help with things. Sponsors for the event included title sponsor Climate Works Heating and Cooling; truffle sponsor Talos Homes; Andre J. Pavelich Enterprises Ltd.; and Metroland Media.

Brian Tackaberry, who has just written a new book entitled “Forgotten Heroes of Mississippi Mills” which details the experiences of World War One soldiers, will be the guest speaker at this Nov. 19 meeting. He will talk about World War One and specifically about enlistment, about those who enlisted, about the various battalions, about battles in which they fought and about life on the home front during the War. Anyone who has family stories and World War One memorabilia is urged to at-
tend this meeting and to share them at the meeting. Copies of Brian Tackaberry’s new book will be available for purchase at the meeting. Also at the meeting available for purchase at $5 each will be the Ottawa 2017 souvenir calendar produced by Metroland Media which has just been released.

The Stittsville Legion is collecting these socks for donation to the homeless and donating some socks is one way for the Goulbourn Historical Society to thank the Legion for providing the use of its hall free of charge for Historical Society meetings. It should be noted that the topic for this Nov. 19 meeting is World War One during which women on the home front knitted socks for the fighting men overseas.

Remembrance Day service in Richmond SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A biting wind blew over Memorial Park in Richmond on Remembrance Day, Nov. 11 and the sunny but chilly weather even saw some snowflakes evident. But the weather only provided the backdrop for this annual Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph at Memorial Park, organized and hosted by the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion. The 11 a.m. service itself again this year draw a capacity crowd to Memorial Park to pay tribute and honour all those who have served in Canada’s military and particularly those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defending Canada and its freedoms. “Every day Canadian Armed Forces members put their lives at risk, often leaving their families and homes behind to courageously defend our country’s values and contribute to international peace and security,” Richmond Legion president Jane Louks said in her closing remarks at the ceremony. “They have played many important roles both at home and around the world in the years since the Korean War,” she said in reference to Canada’s soldiers. “Whether protecting our frontiers, working with our allies, providing humanitarian assistance, helping restore peace or fighting those who would deny freedom for others, the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces have stood tall and we will remember them.” And earlier, in her opening remarks, she paid tribute to all those who have died in the service of the country.
“Let us pause for a few moments to think reverently of those of our Comrades who, by sea, land and in the air laid down their lives for their Sovereign and country,” she said. “Their sacrifice will ever inspire us to labour on, to the end that those who survive and need our help may be assured of our assistance and that the country in which we live and for which they died may ever be worthy of the sacrifice they made.” The ceremony began with the national anthem “O Canada,” led by the South Carleton High School band which was at the ceremony. After an opening prayer by Deacon Louis Seward of St. Philip’s Parish in Richmond, who is the Richmond Legion chaplain, South Carleton High School trumpeter Rikesh Mistry played The Last Post and Reveille with bagpiper Eric Booth playing the “Silence and Lament” between them. South Carleton High School copresident Brett Mitchel recited “The Red Poppy of Flanders” with copresident Janek Gupta delivering John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields.” The hymn “Abide With Me” was sung, led by the SCHS band, after which 50 wreaths were laid at the
cenotaph. These included wreaths by the federal, provincial and municipal governments, for Fallen Comrades, Silver Cross Mothers, All Veterans, Canadian Forces, Special Forces, Canadian Forces Station Leitrim, 33 Service Battalion, the Ottawa Service Battalion Association, the Ottawa Police Service, the RCMP, the Firefighters at Station 82 of the Ottawa Fire Service and the Richmond Legion branch, its Ladies Auxiliary and its Club 55. Wreaths were also laid in memory of individuals, churches, schools and service and other organizations. Wreaths were laid in memory of Benny and June Ryan, Ray Guay, Bert Murphy, Basel Banks, Joseph and Marion Goodenough, Archie Barrington, George and Edith McCallum, Alton Monahan and Steve and Betty Fish. Comrade Jack Lemyre read the Pledge of Remembrance following the laying of the wreaths: “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.” “We will remember them!” replied all those in attendance.

South Carleton High School student Laura Weisskopf read her poem which was a winner in the senior poem category in the Royal Canadian Legion’s Remembrance poem, poetry and poster contest. After a closing prayer by Rev. Carla Van Delen of St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond and the singing of “God Save The Queen,” the colour party and veterans who had paraded to the site from the Richmond Plaza
marched off, passing by the reviewing stand which this year saw long time Richmond Legion member and World War Two veteran Roger Bourgeois serve as the reviewing officer. Following the formal ceremony, those in attendance had the opportunity to lay a poppy at the cenotaph if desired. An open house was held at the Richmond Legion Hall following the ceremony.

With the merging of the November and December meetings of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee into one meeting on Thursday, November 24th, we have quite the agenda. Taking place at our usual location and time, Ben Franklin Place at 10:00am, the meeting agenda includes: • 2017 Draft Operating & Capital Budget • Land Evaluation & Area Review (LEAR) • Report on Significant Woodland Policies • Zoning By-Law Amendment for 471 Sangeet Place (RideauGoulbourn) • Zoning By-Law Amendment for 6265 Perth Street (RideauGoulbourn) • Official Plan Amendment for a Quarry at 3150 & 3200 Rideau Road (Osgoode) • Zoning By-Law Amendments for 4175 Anderson Road (Cumberland), 4000 Canaan Road (Cumberland), 711 Vances Side Road (West Carleton-March), 2469 Forced Road (Cumberland), 6219 & 6317 Dwyer Hill Road (RideauGoulbourn) • Kizell Municipal Drain (Kanata North) • McKinnons Creek Petition for Drainage Works (Cumberland) The big items will be the 2017 Budget and the update to the LEAR. Accompanying the LEAR update, will be a recommendation to make changes to Agricultural Resource Areas across the City. Some lands may be recommended to be changed from General Rural to Agriculture and vice versa. More information and maps are available at Ottawa.ca/LEAR. I served as Chair of the LEAR Working Group as we reviewed the mapping for the last four years, working alongside local landowners, the Ottawa branch of the Ottawa Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs. 471 Sangeet Place is the second phase of a small development adjacent to the village boundary in Richmond, next to the Legion, off of Ottawa Street. Ten lots are proposed. Also in Richmond, the report on 6265 Perth Street seeks to permit the construction of a new medical facility at the corner of Rochelle Drive and Perth Street. The zoning will also permit future phases, including a mid-rise apartment building and some commercial and office space. The City received much support on this application from the community and I appreciate everyone who took the time to submit comments. MPAC Farm Assessments Many property owners across Ontario received their MPAC notices last month. While residential property owners received their letters in the spring, the farmland assessments were only released in mid-October. What property owners will have noticed is a huge increase in assessment. In fact, the average assessment increase in Ottawa is 98%. The big question for most, though, is how will this affect your taxes? Through any assessment update, the municipality cannot increase revenue. The City doesn’t come into a windfall just because property values have gone up. As a result, taxation needs to be adjusted based on assessment increase. In that case, those around the average increase of 98% will not see any tax impact. If your assessment is below the average, you are likely to see a decrease in your property taxes as a result. Similarly, if your increase is above the average, there will be a corresponding increase in your taxes. 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.

Working at Queensway Carleton Hospital SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Catharene Smith of Richmond has worked at the Queensway Carleton Hospital for 18 years. She’s currently the Team Leader in C4 Medicine and she is proud of the team with which she works. They are her friends and colleagues. In fact, her co-workers are part of the reason why she loves working at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. She likes the feeling of community that exists for those working there. She notes that she has met lifelong friends working at the hospital, going through much together. She also likes the opportunities that she has encountered during her years at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. “The opportunities I’ve been blessed with are another thing,” Catharene says. “Whether it is making things better for the patients or having a say in changes/improvements to the unit I work in or the hospital. The educational opportunities I’ve had over the years and being able to care for the patients in our community as well.” Catharene has been working at the Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) for almost half of her life so it makes sense that the hospital has become a large part of her life. “QCH has always felt like a family,” she says. “Working full time, you can’t help but feel that this is a big part of your life.” She feels that she has learned many things from working at QCH but that the most important thing that she has been taught in collaboration which she views as so important in order to provide excellent patient care, noting that “by working together as a team it makes our very hard jobs easier.” One of her most memorable mo-
ments during her years working at the QCH was receiving the D. Aubrey Moodie People Excellence Awards’ Employee of the Year in 2014. “I felt honoured to be recognized,” she says. “That’s something you really feel here (at QCH), the recognition. You don’t feel like a number, you’re valued here and you get recognition for the work you do.” Catharene says that the QCH is a great place to work that has both the patients’ and the staff’s best interests in mind. “Even though it (the QCH) has expanded greatly it still has the “home town feel” it has had since it opened,” she says. She talks about the daily huddles that the nurses hold, the kudos cards that those in her unit hand out to one another and also the involvement of the hospital’s CEO Tom Schonberg who sometimes drops in on the daily huddles. For Catharene, the perfect word to describe the Queensway Carleton Hospital is “exemplary.” “QCH has always strived to do what is best for patients, staff, volunteers and the community,” she says. “The patients we care for on my unit have noticed this and they seem quite happy with their time spent here and they’re satisfied with SUBMITTED their care,” she continued. Catharene Smith of Richmond has worked at the “Working at QCH has been a Queensway Carleton Hospital for 18 years. great opportunity for professional development while providing great care to my community,” Catharene says. Her unit in C4 has been chosen to move to the hospital’s new ACE unit. It means an opportunity to use new equipment and to learn Dr. Corrine Dr. Melanie Dr. Alan new processes to take the very best Motluk Bolton Franzmann care of patients.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
November 17, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Councillor’s Annual Cookie Decorating and Visit with Santa! I am happy to invite all residents to my office’s annual Cookie Decorating and Santa Visit at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Saturday, December 3rd between 9:00 and 11:00 AM. Word on the street is that Santa will be making a special appearance around 10:10 AM so make sure to arrive early. As is customary each year, Gingerbread cookies will be decorated and photographs will be taken with Santa Claus. This is one of my favourite events of the year as it celebrates the family togetherness which the holiday season always tends to bring out. The Gingerbread Cookie Decorating and Photo with Santa is an event my office and I host every year in December, giving residents and their families the opportunity to gather together and get into the Holiday spirit. The GRC will also be holding their event Jingle your way through GRC where many activities such as face painting, crafts and a giant slide will be on hand. More details on that to come I hope many residents get a chance to visit with their children and enjoy this once a year event! Automotive Dealership Site Plan at 5835 Hazeldean Road The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan application to construct a new one-storey building with mezzanine and inventory parking area for an automobile dealership. The property is located on the north side of Hazeldean Road, at the intersection of Sweetnam Drive and Hazeldean Road. The site is currently occupied by a temporary sales office and graveled automotive sales dealership for the Canadian Auto Mall. The purpose of the application is to permit the development of an automotive sales dealership. The proposed development includes a 531 square metre, one-storey building with mezzanine, to house a showroom, and a sales and service area. There will be a parking area with 14 dedicated surface parking spaces (including one barrier free space) for the showroom and service centre. This parking area as well as the inventory parking will be paved. Vehicular access to Hazeldean Road will be relocated towards the centre of the site. Landscaping improvements are proposed around the perimeter of the property, including a 5-metre wide landscape strip along the entire frontage of the lot and 10-metre wide landscape strips along the western and northerly property lines. The landscape buffer along the eastern property line will range from 10-20 metres, providing a continuous 30 metre setback from the inventory parking area to the normal high water mark of Poole Creek. Snow storage areas are proposed along the rear limits of the paved parking area. The application summary, site plan, building elevations and landscape plan are all available on my website at Shadqadri.com. For more information and to provide comments by November 29, 2016 please contact myself and the City Planner Kimberley Baldwin at Kimberley.Baldwin@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 x23032. Stittsville Walk Update – New Traditional Design I have received an update regarding the Stittsville Walk development located at 1491 Stittsville Main Street. The Development Review Services Branch has advised they have received the signed site plan agreement and all securities, and have issued a Commence Work Notification for that the owner may begin underground servicing. You can review the site plan and building elevations by visiting my website at Shadqadri.com Working with my office and the City Planning Department, the developer has revised all elevations to reflect the more traditional architecture as noted in the elevations that have been provided. Building B at the rear of the site is also being revised to provide individual garages and driveways rather than the surface parking shown on the approved site plan. In addition, I have also requested they provide their plans for updating the current building on the site to ensure it too follows a more traditional design. Once the revised plans are received, the City will replace the previously-approved plans with these revised plans prior to registration of the agreement, so that they form part of the agreement. The building permit will be issued on the basis of these newer plans. I am very pleased with the traditional design of these units as I feel this will be a much better fit with the village feel of Stittsville. I will continue to update the community as I have more information regarding the development and I have also requested the development timelines for the site as well. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

Town-Hall Meetings On Hydro Rates Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it? I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents. Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario.

FLOOR PLAN
November 2016 Canada’s new homeowners have spoken and home builders are listening. That, according to the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA), is the end result of a national study undertaken in the past year, a study that sought input from more than 23,000 new home owners across the country. The survey’s findings, outlined at www. gohba.ca and available for purchase off the Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA) website at http:// www.chba.ca/buyersurvey.aspx, gives home builders a better understanding of what their potential customers are looking for. Undertaken by the CHBA and Avid Ratings Canada, the report serves up some valuable data specific to the nation’s capital that helps bridge the gap between those in the industry and those in the market for a new home. According to GOHBA, the information can also be a great tool for anyone focused on turning their dream into reality, whether it’s that growing family looking for a larger singledetached home close to schools and other city services or a retiree seeking to downsize to a quiet neighbourhood. And that’s where we hope Floor Plan comes in. This monthly supplement, presented in your Metroland community newspaper, also aims to provide readers with important information, bringing potential home buyers together with some of the finest builders this country has to offer. Ultimately the decision on such a significant purchase is a personal one, one that requires plenty of homework. We’re pleased to provide this special section to help make that process just a little easier. And please look for more great ideas in our next supplement inside your Metroland newspaper Thursday, January 26, 2017 Ryland Coyne Editor-in-Chief Metroland Media East Vice-President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop Editor-in-Chief Ryland Coyne Managing Editor Theresa Fritz Director of Advertising Cheryl Hammond General Manager Mike Tracy New Homes Account Specialist Geoff Hamilton 613-282-6834

HOME BUILDING METHODS FACE MAJOR CHANGES (MS) - All across North America, home builders tend to agree that the better real estate investments -- for both the occupant and for future re-sale value -- may be best served by a whole new approach to construction. One major change addressing energy consumption and rising fuel costs is the optional use of an air-tight, solid concrete system to replace inefficient wood framing. Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) erect a building with an interlocking system, similar to Lego. “It’s a switch for builders, but those who have switched over tell us it’s quite easy to build with ICFs,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in the field. “Customer demand has driven this change and builders are now seeing how green construction options can have a positive impact on their business.” Indeed, concrete is plentiful and it’s in high demand. The ICF system is now the choice wallbuilding method on ‘net-zero’ construction projects south of the border. The term net-zero applies to buildings that are so energy efficient they don’t tap any public utility fuel supplies at all. ICF construction has already produced netzero elementary schools in the United States, where Canadian technology was applied with the Nudura system of ICFs. The goal in the future is for as many homes, schools, and public buildings as possible to be designed for netzero from the ground up.
Building guide
If this type of energy-efficiency sounds right for you, too, be sure to make specific requests to your builder, Blyth says. Underscoring these proactive measures, the non-profit organization LEED also reminds us that constructing a green home leaves a much smaller carbon footprint due to less demand on natural resources. It will create less waste and be healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. If you’re
thinking about building to the LEED standard, take a look at just one example of the efficiency and benefits if you switch from wood-framing to concrete. The ICF system is explained and found at nudura.com, with a snapshot here: Fuel Savings: Walls built with ICFs are proven to reduce energy bills up to 70 percent; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and reduce or eliminate exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. The net cost over time is comparable to that of owning a conventional home and the resale return is generally assured. Durability: Concrete is expected to stand the test of time. Due to high impact resistance, these concrete walls assure maximum safety in high wind areas. Fire resistance is also reported
to be maximized at four hours. Comfort: As opposed to wood frames, air gaps are eliminated and that minimizes the potential for mould growth and draft. The end result is an airtight structure that enables the mechanical systems to heat, cool and ventilate the structure more efficiently, creating a healthier living and working environment. Responsibility: The materials are totally recyclable and the system is designed to create less waste (for landfill) during the construction process. Combined with other eco-construction methods, this concrete system will significantly reduce carbon emissions by lowering the amount of fossil fuels needed for heating and cooling.
PROS AND CONS OF OPEN FLOOR PLANS Open floor plans have evolved to be the floor plan of choice in new homes and current home renovations. Turn on a home renovation show, and you’re likely to see eager homeowners knocking down walls to open the kitchen to the family room. Walls have become anathema to homeowners. There are many supporters of the open floor plan, particularly those who entertain frequently or like to keep an eye on children throughout the house. Although open floor plans are touted, there are plenty of people who have never been enamored with having all of their rooms flowing into one. There also are some people who prefer a different style. For those who are not fans of the open floor plan, blame the excess of the 1980s for their inception. In homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, rooms were compartmentalized and isolated for specific activities. During the 1980s, an era of “bigger is better,” when entertaining was widely popular among homeowners, designers noticed that many homeowners preferred an open floor plan in which rooms merged into one another, creating the illusion of more space. These floor plans also enable people to be in separate rooms and still interact with one an-
other across the space. A home’s floor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner. There are many advantages to having an open floor plan versus one that is more compartmentalized. Here is a look at some of the pros and cons. Pro: Open floor plans can be safer for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner. It also eliminates the number of places that kids can hide and get into mischief. Con:Privacy is reduced in a home with few walls. Much in the way that an open floor plan enables children to be seen from every angle, it also enables you to be seen -- and all of your belongings as well. There’s also no place to retreat to if you need a minute to collect yourself when entertaining. You’re on display unless you retreat to the bathroom. Pro: Entertaining can be easier in a home with an open floor plan because hosts and hostesses are not separated from their guests or holed up in the kitchen the entire time. An open space enables everyone to mingle and conversations to flow. Con: Those who like to host events without showing guests all of their dirty dishes or se-
crets of the kitchen may dislike an open floor plan. Pro: Light can flow effectively through an open space, minimizing dark rooms and reducing the need to install more windows. Light in and of itself can help a home feel more spacious. Con: While light can flow easily, so can sound. Noises through the house may be amplified. A student doing homework in the dining room may be disturbed by the television blaring in the family room. Talking on the phone or even finding a quiet nook to read a book may be challenging. Pro:Open floor plans allow for more family time together in one space than a home with a more compartmentalized layout. Con: People who are collectors or who have a lot of furniture or accent items may find that open floor plans do not work well with this type of design mantra. Pro: Because several rooms run into one another, color choices for walls and furnishings in a home with an open floor plan can be limited and cohesive, making choices easier. Con: On the flip side, those who want to incorporate different color schemes and eclectic styles may have difficulty deciding on where to “end” rooms or how to co-mingle furniture.

OPTIONS ABOUND WHEN LAYING A NEW DRIVEWAY A driveway is more than just a place to park your car. The right driveway material can add considerable curb appeal to your home, increasing its resale value along the way. Homeowners have many options at their disposal when choosing a driveway material, and the right material for one home may not be the best fit for another. The following is a rundown of popular driveway surfaces and what homeowners can expect of each of them.
Brick
Many homeowners believe brick driveways provide the most aesthetic appeal, and it’s hard to argue with the beauty of brick driveways and walkways. Brick driveways come in various colors and hues, and many homeowners opt to have the color of their brick driveways match their landscaping, which further adds to curb appeal. But that curb appeal is only appealing if the driveway is designed and installed correctly, and homeowners can expect to pay a premium for that, as brick driveway installation is very labor intensive.
Gravel
Gravel driveways may not be as commonplace as they once were, but this cost effective driveway material is still an option. Homeowners who live in regions with mild winters without snow might benefit most from gravel driveways, which can be difficult to negotiate when shoveling snow. Gravel tends to be the least expensive driveway material to install, but professionals may recommend that a new top layer of gravel be laid once or twice a year to replace material lost to wind and everyday usage.
Asphalt
Asphalt remains a popular drive-
way material, thanks in large part to its practicality and ease of installation. Unlike other driveway surface materials, asphalt is available in just one color, black, and that lack of versatility has led many homeowners to consider other options. But asphalt remains an affordable driveway surface material that’s relative-
ly easy to repair. Cracks and holes in asphalt are somewhat common, but resealing such blemishes once every three to five years is typically enough to maintain the appearance of an asphalt driveway.
Concrete
Concrete driveways are popular
thanks in large part to their affordability and aesthetic appeal. Concrete can be susceptible to extremely cold weather, but many homeowners prefer concrete because of its versatility. Concrete can be stamped or dyed to provide a unique look, which can increase curb appeal. Concrete can be expensive to maintain, particularly
when the material cracks. In addition, gas and oil spills are more noticeable on a concrete surface than other driveway surface materials. When replacing an existing driveway, homeowners have an array of new surface materials to choose from, and each material has its pros and cons.
HOW TO GET HIGH HEAT WITHOUT THE HIGH BILLS There’s nothing cozier than a warm home during the winter months. But does your jaw drop every time you see your bill? High energy costs are a burden and frustration for many of us who are looking to reduce our monthly expenses while still keeping our home warm. Fortunately there are a number of energy efficient heat source op-
tions to consider. Before making a transition, make sure that you carefully weigh all your heating options. Research thoroughly and choose the option that’s best suited for your home. “No matter what type of renovation project you’re working on, contact your insurance company to let them know,” recommends Glenn Cooper from Aviva Canada. “New features such as a new heating sys-
4 PlanNews - Thursday, November 17, 2016 58 Floor Stittsville - Thursday, November 17, 2016
tem can impact your coverage, so it’s something you need to tell your insurer about.” Here are three alternative ways that many people are now using to heat their homes:
1. Solar power.
Perhaps the most popular alternative way to heat your home and water, solar power uses panels, collectors, or evacuated tubes to pow-
er heating or water.
2. Geothermal heating.
This method of heating is efficient and environmentally friendly. This system uses the earth’s heat, large coils that are buried underground, and a compressor to extract heat from water stored in tubes. While the initial cost to install the system is expensive, it may increase the re-
sale value of your home.
3. Hydronic heating.
Also referred to as radiant floor heating, this energy efficient method uses tubes that run under the floors of your home. Hot water is pumped through the plastic tubes to heat your floors and rooms. Find more information from your insurance or online at avivacanada. com.

KEEP POINSETTIAS LOOKING GREAT Along with the fragrant evergreens and twinkling lights synonymous with the holiday season, poinsettias make up a key component of holiday decorating. Unlike holly and some of the other greenery that is commonly associated with the holidays, poinsettias do not naturally thrive in the colder temperatures. These plants originate in southern Mexico and were considered an exotic plant when first introduced to the United States by Joel Robert Poinsett, the first American ambassador to Mexico. Poinsettias can be fickle plants and ones that gardening novices may find challenging to maintain. The plants are comprised of green foliage, colorful (often red) flower bracts, and the actual flowers of the plants, which are the red or green buttonlike parts nestled in the center of the bracts. Because they are a tropical plant, poinsettias can be damaged by exposure to low temperatures, even if they are only exposed for short periods of time. They should be wrapped and protected against the elements when brought home. For maximum plant life, poinsettias need to be placed near a warm, sunny window, or another area that has ample amounts of light. They thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 F and should be kept away from warm or cold drafts. Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch. Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in
water. Over- or under-watering can cause leaves to drop prematurely and wilt. If your home lacks in humidity, you may need to water the plant more frequently. Poinsettias do not need to be fertilized while the plant is in bloom. The Ohio State University Extension says poinsettias can be reflowered the following Christmas, but unless a yearlong schedule of care is observed, the results usually are not good. You can speak with a gardening expert or consult online resources for the proper care schedule. Caring for a poinsettia year-round involves gradually drying out the plant and storing it in a cool location. The plant later will be moved outdoors and then back inside and pruned to keep a full shape. Poinsettias are short-day plants, which means they flower about 10 weeks after the daylight shortens to about 12 hours or less. Many people find the affordability of poinsettias makes it more convenient to buy new ones each year than try to foster regrowth. Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous to humans or animals, but they should not be ingested due to the potential for allergic reactions. Poinsettias can help remove pollutants from indoor air, which is advantageous during the winter months when doors and windows are typically kept closed. Select plants that have dark green foliage and no low or damaged leaves. This ensures the best success for keeping poinsettias looking healthy and vibrant throughout the holiday season.
ENJOY AN ECO-FRIENDLY HOLIDAY SEASON The color green is synonymous with the holiday season, as Christmas trees, mistletoe and holiday wreaths feature prominently throughout the month of December. But there are ways to make this holiday season even greener. • Choose LED holiday lights. Holiday lighting displays help make the season even more special. But traditional incandescent holiday lights consume considerable amounts of energy and burn out much more quickly than more eco-friendly alternatives. According to Energy.gov, LED holiday lights consume less energy than incandescent holiday lights, and they’re also safer because LED lights burn cool, reducing the risk of combustion. In addition, LED lights are more resistant to breaking than incandescent bulbs, which should please homeowners who want to avoid broken or burned out bulbs that can ruin holiday lighting displays. • Get creative with wrapping paper. The United States Environmental Protection Agency notes that household waste increases by 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. That translates to about one million extra tons of waste in the roughly five-week holiday season. Much of that waste is wrapping paper. Instead of purchasing holiday wrapping paper that will ultimately end up in landfills, wrap gifts in reusable gift bags or old newspapers lying around the house. If you must use wrapping paper, choose recycled paper. In addition, save bows, ribbons and undamaged wrapping paper to use again next season. • Turn down the thermostat. Holiday music fans know that the weather outside can be frightful during the holiday season. But holiday hosts inviting friends and family over this year can turn down the thermostat to save energy and make conditions inside the home more comfortable. Extra bodies inside the house will warm the place up, allowing homeowners to turn down the thermostat during parties. If you’re traveling for the season, program your thermostat so you’re not heating an empty home. • Send e-cards. Holiday cards are a tradition in many families. But paper cards contribute heavily to that extra million tons of holiday-related waste noted by the EPA. In lieu of paper cards, send e-cards. E-cards can be emailed to friends and family, saving the cost of postage and the fuel required to deliver those cards. In addition, e-cards save families the hassle of signing each individual card. 660Floor Plan News - Thursday, November 17, 2016 Stittsville - Thursday, November 17, 2016
CREATE CURBSIDE APPEAL BEYOND BRIGHT LIGHTS ‘Tis the season to primp your house for that festive time of year. And while holiday lights and tinsel will never go out of style, outdoor winter planters have become a spectacle in their own right. They add the perfect amount of greenery, colour, and ecofriendly cheer to brighten your walkway, front door, or balcony. Follow these easy steps to create curbside appeal with beautiful winter planters. 1. Get inspired. There are over 1000 images of winter gardens online as well as a huge selection of videos from décor mavens revealing their favourite spin on the holiday planter. Before you start your own project, make sure you have a vision of the look you’d like to achieve and double check that the colour and sizing fit with your outdoor space. 2. Start with a solid base. Keep your winter extra green with earthsavvy planters. Crescendo Urns made by Multy Home are a great option. Made using Ontario recycled tire rubber that would otherwise end up in a landfill, this planter is designed to withstand the cold weather. You can also find recycled rubber mulch to fill the base from a variety of manufacturers. This material is ideal because it drains quickly; resists mold, mildew and fungi; and is non-toxic. 3. Create your masterpiece. Consider the climate and the type of foliage that will last throughout the season. Try hardy materials such as evergreen boughs, birch, dogwood, or winterberries. Experiment with heights and textures and add some non-traditional components to make it your own. 4. Complete the package. Consider additional ways to dress up your outdoors with other earth-friendly décor, such as wreaths made from leftover greenery or even recycled ribbon and corks. Add some function and fashion to your front step with a welcome mat made from recycled tires. If you’re planning on stringing up some lights, just make sure they’re energy efficient.

Deeper meeting behind ‘Parenting’ painting BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
It may appear at first glance to be simply a painting depicting a desk with a book and other items on it. But then you look at the title “Parenting” and wonder what it all means and if there is a deeper meaning behind it all. Is it meant to be more than just an attractive scene? Well, this 18 inch by 24 inch oil on Masonite painting “Parenting” by Stittsville artist Patrick Mason does have a deeper meaning than an initial cursory view might indicate. The painting was on display at his exhibit at the annual show and sale of the Ottawa West Arts Association at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Saturday, Nov. 5. Indeed, Patrick created this painting to serve as a visual companion for his philosophical belief that education should include parenting courses. He believes that only such action, which he admits is a long term remedy to today’s education system and its maladies, will result in curing today’s parenting problems plaguing society. And what does a closer look at the painting “Parenting” show? The “yellow” background is meant to symbolize philosophy and specifically a philosophy that would present a monumental change in education. The blue lotus in the painting is a symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom and of knowledge. The owl in the painting is a symbol of learning
and wisdom. The apple in the painting is a symbol of teaching and learning and also represents forbidden fruit in the context of the forbidden knowledge of “parenting” by those who control today’s education. The painting’s books, which are titled, symbolize information being accepted as worthy of studying. The particular book on “Parenting” is encased in the colour purple to represent the victory of this knowledge about all else and yet “parenting” is not considered a key educational staple. The gold binding symbolizes “parenting knowledge” as being of the highest value. The note paper in the painting refers to Adlerian theory which deals with the consequences associated with types of learning. The butterfly in the painting depicts the successful maturing individual who becomes capable of independent living. The lamp in the painting symbolizes the “Lamp of Learning.” Patrick believes that every student from grade 3 to grade 12 should be required to take parenting courses so that this next generation of parents know and will be able to apply healthy parenting practices. It may take a generation to remedy what he views as today’s inadequate parenting in society but it will result in effective parenting. He believes that no shorter term remedy exists to today’s parenting crisis because of the entrenched bureaucracies running today’s education system which perpetuates the flaws found in today’s parenting.

Stittsville artist Patrick Mason stands with his painting entitled “Parenting” which has a much deeper message associated with it than an initial cursory glance would indicate.

A lake in Manitoba has been named after former Stittsville resident Cliff Chadderton, a World War Two veteran and long time leader of The War Amps. The newly named Chadderton Lake is located in the Duck Mountains in southwest Manitoba. The province of Manitoba has a policy of naming geographic features after war veterans and casualties. A D-Day veteran, Chadderton lost part of his right leg in Oct. 1944 while commanding a company of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles battling for the Scheldt Estuary in Belgium and Holland. After the war, he devoted his life to improving the lives of veteran amputees as well as all amputees in Canada. He was recognized both nationally and internationally as a developer of innovative programs and services for war, civilian and child amputees and as founder of The War Amps CHAMP Program. Following World War Two, he held several positions in The War Amps before being appointed as Executive Secretary (later Chief Executive Officer) of The War Amps in 1965. From 1965 to 1968, he also served as Secretary and Executive Director of the Woods Committee which conducted an extensive study on veterans pension legislation in Canada. It compiled a detailed explanation of virtually every section of the Pension Act and made recommendations to improve the legislation and administration related to pensions. Chadderton received numerous awards including Companion in the Order of Canada, The Order of Ontario, induction into the Canada Veterans Hall of Valour and the Terry Fox Hall of Fame, Knight in the order of the Legion of Honour of France, the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation, the Royal Bank Award for Canadian Achievement and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. Chadderton passed away in 2013.

chased in advance. The concert, entitled “A Christmas Kalesdoscope,” will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata and again on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad just west of Huntmar Drive. Joining the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus at this year’s concert will be “Gracenote,” a trio of singers who are accompanied by Andy Duffy on keyboard. Music director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is Robert Dueck FOR SALE

of Stittsville while Peter Brown of Lanark is the group’s accompanist. Another musician involved with this concert is Helen Mogford of Perth who will be displaying her mastery of a number of instruments during the evening including flute, tenor recorder and tenor Viol da Gamba. She will be accompanying a small ensemble of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus when it performs the songs “Cooroo Cooroo” and “Song of the Dove.” She will then switch to the tenor recorder for the song “All on a Cold Winter’s Night.” But Helen is not finished playing FOR SALE
FOR SALE
just these two instruments. She will also be playing a tenor Viol da Gamba for the songs “Under Winter Moon” and “Lullay, Alleluia.” But what is a tenor Viol da Gamba, you might ask? It is a bowed string musical instrument similar to the cello in that it is played with the instrument between the legs. Historically, the viol first appeared in Europe in the late 15th century, becoming one of the most popular Renaissance and Baroque instruments. But as the popularity of the violin grew in the 17th century, the viol FOR SALE
FOR SALE
with its softer sound that made it harder to hear in concert halls could not compete and fell behind in popularity. The 20th century saw a resurgence of interest in the viol, especially when trying to authentically perform early music. Most viols have six strings whereas violins have four strings. The bow for the viol is slightly convex. England in particular has a rich history of viol composers and performers. The viol was also played widely in France and in Germany. The viol has a subdued, mellow tone. FOR SALE

Santa Claus Parade in Richmond starts at 5:30 p.m. this year BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The annual Santa Claus Parade will have a new glow about it this year. That’s because the parade, which has always been held at midday, is being held after dark this year, meaning that the Christmas lights which adorn the floats will be glowing in the darkness rather than overshadowed by the
brightness of the midday. This year this Santa Claus Parade will be happening on Saturday, Dec. 3, starting at 5:30 p.m. at South Carleton High School. But this shift in time for the parade is not the only change taking place this year. The annual Lighting of the Park ceremony at which the lights at Memorial Park are turned on for the first time for the Christmas season and at which the street banners designed and
not the “finish” to the day’s activities as there will then be a free chili dinner offered in the upstairs hall at the arena, with everyone welcome to attend. There will be entertainment as well, so it should be a great time for everyone! The more entries the better for the Santa Claus Parade. Businesses, organizations and churches are all encouraged to have an entry in the parade. Registration forms can be found at richmondvillage.ca.
created by Richmond youth are unveiled will be taking place before the parade, not following it as has been the case up until now. So, the Lighting of the Park ceremony will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 4:30 p.m. with the parade following at 5:30 p.m. As for the parade, the floats will leave from South Carleton High School and will travel along McBean Street before finishing up at the Richmond arena.

Mary feels blessed for magic and miracles of Depression years
MARY COOK Memories It was hard for me to figure out the difference between magic and a miracle. My sister Audrey said they were just about the same thing. And yet I knew in my heart, that a miracle was an act of God. Hadn’t our Lutheran minister said so? But both miracles and magic were all around me on our farm in Northcote, and I was hard pressed to tell the difference. It gave me plenty to think about. It was surely magic how Myrtle the telephone operator knew exactly where everyone was at any given time in Northcote. Many was the time our phone would ring and it would be Myrtle to say someone’s barn was on fire, and the whole community would be in a turmoil. Or she would announce that the Saturday night house party was at the Thom’s. Now, how she would know all this to me was pure magic. And a miracle happened, or maybe it was magic, every single night right in our summer kitchen. The fresh milk was brought in in milk cans, I thought bluish in colour, and some miracle happened during the night. By morning, when I was sent out with the strainer and the big brown bowl, the entire tops of the cans
Connected to your community
would be yellow with cream! Now how the cream came to the top, without the help of anyone’s hand, to me, was pure magic. And how, if I fell asleep on top of someone’s bed while visiting at a Saturday night house party, without my even being aware of it, I would be moved, and I would waken in my own bed in the morning! Now, how could that be? Magic? I thought so. More often than by sheer chance, my Uncle Lou always seemed to appear when we needed him most. Mother would be lonely, missing all that she had left behind in her beloved New York, and there would be Uncle Lou’s big black Buick with the gold eagle on the hood coming in our long lane. I called our Uncle Lou our miracle. Or when Mother’s egg money failed to meet our everyday needs, and there wasn’t enough money to even buy coal oil for the lamps, a letter would arrive from Uncle Lou, and tucked inside would be an American $20 bill. I knew that was a miracle, and not magic. And of course, the fact that both Mother and Miss Crosby knew what was going on around them without as much as raising their eyes from whatever they were busy at, to me
was magic. I often closed my eyes and tried to figure out what was happening a few feet away, and could see absolutely nothing! No, with Mother and Miss Crosby, that had to be magic. And one of the biggest miracles of all to me, was when winter had settled in, and even with the snow banked against the outside walls of our house, stockings crammed into the frames of the windows, the old log house was still drafty and cold. Even the Findlay Oval was no match for the cold of the winter’s blasts. And yet, when I would go to the stable with Father at night, as I often did, the barns would be as warm as toast. There was no stove, no stove pipe, nothing to bring in heat, and yet the cows were warm to touch, and the horses, at one end of the barn, were toasty warm, too. Was that magic, or a miracle? It was a question with no answer. But surely the biggest miracle of all was that we were able to survive the Depression raging all around us. The Ottawa Farm Journal, without fail, showed long lines of men lined up in the big cities, looking for food vouchers, or a place to sleep, or any job that would help put food on their own tables. And there we were, out in Northcote, with a smoke house full of meat, cellar shelves crammed with jars of pickles, preserves and vegetables in brine. And there were always eggs, chickens and sticky buns to peddle door to door in Renfrew to bring in a few cents to buy what we could not grow ourselves. And at every meal our table was laden with food. Never once did we ever feel hungry in a country where there was so much hunger. Surely, that was the biggest miracle of all.

Bazaar, bake sale at St. Andrew’s SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Combine baked goods and preserves, a white elephant table, an accessories table and a hot luncheon and what do you have? None other than the annual Christmas bazaar and bake sale at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville! This year this annual pre-Christmas treat is being held this Saturday, Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend. There will be baked goods and preserves galore on sale at this event. These are worth the visit all by themselves. But there’s more, lots more! One of the most popular stops at this bazaar is the “white elephant” table where you are bound to find just about anything. It’s always popular because you never know what is going to be there for sale and it may be just what you have been looking for or it may be that intriguing object that just hits your fancy to the button. It’s an exciting feature at the bazaar and one that you will not want to miss. And then there’s the “accessories” table which is a new feature at this bazaar this year. This table will feature gently used purses, scarves and jewellery. It’s a “must” view at the bazaar. And after you have visited these bake, white elephant and accessories tables, you can then sit down and enjoy a hot luncheon that has two things going for it – it will be delicious and it will be prepared and served by someone else. You don’t have to do anything
but to sit down and enjoy it! And what a luncheon! It will be Hawaiian meat balls and rice along with salad, a dinner roll, dessert and a beverage. Wow, what a midday treat! There will be a children’s menu as well, so you can take them along as well. The luncheon is also reasonably priced, at $10 for adults and $5 for children. Everyone is welcome to attend this annual Christmas bazaar and bake sale to get some great baked goods, acquire some other treasures and enjoy a great lunch. It will be a day to remember! For more details, check out the church’s website at www.standrews-stittsville.ca or call the church office at 613-836-5019. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street in Stittsville.

Hand crafted Remembrance memorial BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Motorists travelling along Flewellyn Road just west of Stanley’s Corners in the days just before and after Remembrance Day this year saw quite a sight – a hand crafted Remembrance memorial on the front lawn of a home.
Indeed, the sight of this memorial caused some to slow down or even stop, take pictures of it and even knock on the front door of the nearby home to remark on the memorial. It was all the work of Dennis Burton, a 21 year veteran with the Royal Canadian Navy who created this Remembrance memorial. See FRONT YARD, page 76

Have you heard of ALE? My guess is probably not. ALE is an acronym for Amberwood Lounge & Eatery. This public eatery and event centre is nestled on Amberwood Golf Course, right off Hazeldean Road, on Springbrook Drive. With minimal visible signage due to ALE’s “off the main road” location, the restaurant is literally a diamond in the rough – golf course rough that is. Opened in April 2016, ALE has been steadily gaining clientele from Stittsville and beyond. The Amberwood facility has seen several restaurants come and go over the years and ALE is determined to make an everlasting impression on all of its guests. With a fresh approach to dining and a beautiful interior renovation, ALE’s owners are quickly proving to the community that they are in it for the long haul. ALE’s regular operations are managed by Sarah St. Michael and Nicolle Carson – two young and inspired entrepreneurs who see the incredible value and quality that ALE provides its guests for all dining experiences. Sarah, ALE’s General Manager says “ALE offers something for every single person in our community. Our restaurant provides a blend of casual and fine dining to give our guests delicious food and great service at an affordable price point. Value for money is something we are very conscious of at ALE. You don’t have to be a golf member or a part of the immediate community to enjoy the ALE experience. We’re aware that there are so many dining options in the west end; we work hard every day to make sure our guests’ expectations are exceeded”. Not just a year round operating restaurant, ALE is also Ottawa’s hottest new event centre. “We’ve had the opportunity to be the host venue for many different events,
ranging from birthday parties, to weddings to celebrations of life. We’ve also made a large push to reach out and partner with other local businesses to provide meeting space and create other unique events. I think our attention to detail and the ability to customize events to each host’s liking is what makes ALE such a great venue option” says Nicolle, Assistant General Manager and Event Coordinator. ALE just launched its new fall/winter menu and their Red Seal Executive Chef, Jason Potvin, has created some delicious comfort foods, each with a small special twist. ALE opens nightly Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 4 PM and is serving menu items such as their signature Portobello Mushroom Fries, Five Spice Pork Chop, a Slider Trio and 3 signature Steak options. Sharing boards and creative homemade desserts like their S’Mores Dip make for an exciting dining experience. ALE opens at 9 AM for breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays and stays open right through dinner. ALE also offers some greatly weekly events, such as Bring Your Own Wine for a $7 Corking Fee on Wednesdays and Afternoon Tea (a version of high tea) on Sundays by reservation only. Nicolle adds that ALE is looking forward to planning and hosting some exciting events in the New Year, such as a wine tasting evening and a family friendly character tea party. One thing’s for sure – this is an exciting addition to the west end’s dining and events scene! ALE – Amberwood Lounge & Eatery is located at 54 Springbrook Drive in Stittsville.

Front yard Remembrance memorial attracts attention of passers-by but as more and more passers-by slowed down or stopped to view the memorial, after two days he came to realize that this was impacting more
people than just himself. This was the first year that he had erected such a memorial but it won’t be the last. Indeed, he is now planning an even bigger memorial for next year, complete with appropriate video and sound which he may play for a couple of hours each night that the memorial is erected. And he may put it up earlier, at the very beginning of November. This year he put up the memorial on Nov. 9 and on Sunday, Nov. 13, he, his wife and family and some neighbours were at the memorial in the early evening where a pair of bagpipers played a number of tunes including “Amazing Grace.” The bagpipers were Todd Matthew and Rick Larocque from “Pipes for the Fallen,” which involves bagJOHN CURRY/METROLAND pipers who pipe at memorial services Royal Canadian Navy veteran Dennis Burton (centre) is with bagpipers and at cemeteries.

publicize it via social media. This all started when a friend of Dennis put up such a memorial. So he set about to do the same thing, making his a larger wooden cut-out silhouette of two soldiers kneeling before a gravestone cross of a fallen comrade. The black silhouette has a white backdrop with the words “We shall remember them” across the top. The gravestone cross in the silhouette features three poppies – one for the fallen, one for those serving and one for veterans. Dennis has also erected a Canadian flag and a poppy “Lest We Forget” flag at the memorial. The memorial is also lit after dark. Dennis estimates that it took 25 to 30 hours to create the memorial which included three hours to cut out the silhouette and then time applying three coats of wood protector, two coats of black paint and then another coat of wood protector to protect it from any rain.
Dennis, as a Royal Canadian Navy veteran who over the course of his career visited 79 countries from 1982 to 2002, is proud to honour Canada’s soldiers, both those who are serving and those who have served. And he firmly believes that today’s youth have to be educated about Canada’s military and Remembrance in order to carry on the tradition of Remembrance. “We have to keep the memories alive,” he says. He feels that if everyone does a little bit towards this goal, such as his front yard memorial this year, then this is possible. Dennis was particularly moved when the bagpipers on Sunday evening played “Amazing Grace” because it is a tune that is particularly relevant to him in remembering those who have fallen. Indeed, “Amazing Grace” was the first song that he ever heard played on a bagpipe and it happened back when he was 21 years old and a shipmate of his played “Amazing Grace” as the ship was entering a harbour. Dennis’ service to Canada included NATO deployments, the Haiti crisis, the Persian Gulf War and the war in Yugoslavia. He also witnessed the aftermath of the Swiss Air crash. One of his fondest memories, though, is when he and a number of his shipmates completely renovated a school in Antiqua and even provided the youngsters with school supplies. He says experiencing poor countries makes a person realize just how fortunate people are to live in a country like Canada.
