The students involved have filled 110 of these shoeboxes which are being sent to children around the world by Samaritan’s Purse through its “Operation Christmas Child” project. In this project, children living in war, poverty and disaster circumstances in countries around the world will be receiving a shoebox gift, perhaps one of those filled by Goulbourn Middle School students. Operation Christmas Child works with churches around the world to deliver these shoebox gifts to their youthful recipients. Each shoebox gift is meant to be an expression of hope, joy and love and hopefully opens the door for the receiving children to learn about Jesus and His Good News.

To encourage participation in the food drive, students in the Free The Children group prepared reminders to be read during the daily public address announcements in the school. They also visited classrooms to encourage students to contribute to the food drive. The Free The Children group at Stittsville Public School includes about 70 students in grades five and six. About 30 of these students were able to attend the recent We Day at the Canadian Tire Centre. These creatively-created towers of collected canned goods and food items did not last long. When volunteers from the Stittsville Food Bank visited the school to collect the food items, the towers were quickly dismantled as the volunteers placed the food items in boxes for transportation to the Food Bank. At the Food Bank, the items would be sorted and checked and then made available to those in the community who are in need of help from the Food Bank at this time.

Proposed budget has eight million for Stittsville infrastructure dollars for growth-related infrastructure in Stittsville. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward The city of Ottawa’s proposed 2017 budget includes about eight million councillor Shad Qadri announced this proposed funding when he spoke at the annual general meeting of the Stittsville Village Association on Thursday, Nov. 17.

Much of the funding is directed to park development such as $577,000 for a Fairwinds West park, $577,000 for a Fernbank Crossing park, $639,000 for a Stittsville South park and over one million dollars for a park in the Blackstone community.

Councillor Qadri noted that funding was also being included in the proposed 2017 budget for social infrastructure improvements in the community, adding that a community is not just roads and bridges and hard infrastructure but also requires services for people.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Commuter Parking Lot Expansion at the Highway 416 and Brophy Drive Interchange (GWP 4168-15-00) The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. to undertake a Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the expansion of an existing commuter parking lot at the Highway 416 and Brophy Drive interchange in the City of Ottawa. The existing commuter parking lot is located just west of Highway 416 on the north side of Brophy Drive and has a capacity of 30 standard parking spaces.

Christmas Parade of Lights Continued from page 1

The parade will begin at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and will proceed south along Stittsville Main Street, passing through the Stittsville Main Street/Abbott Street intersection and continuing on to Carleton Cathcart Street where the parade will disperse. There’s plenty of good viewing spots all along the route and each year people line the street to enjoy the passing lighted floats. Of course, again this year, like always, Santa Claus himself will be bringing up the rear in the parade. And, immediately following the parade, there will be a brief ceremony at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street where the Christmas lights in the trees in the park will be turned on for the first time, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville. Again this year, just like in previous years, members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be travelling along the parade route just before the start of the parade, collecting both non-perishable food items as well as cash donations for the Stittsville Food Bank. This is a

particularly busy time for the Stittsville Food Bank as it tries to meet the needs of those in the Stittsville community who are facing hard times in this Christmas season. That’s why this collection of food items and money at the Parade of Lights is so important – it happens at just the right time when the need is great. Those attending the parade should have their “oohs” and “aahs” ready as you are bound to be awe-struck by some of this year floats. There’s always a few that are just spectacular but really every float – and there are usually more than 50 entries in the parade – has its own glow and appeal. And they just keep coming, one after the other, in a steady stream. There isn’t a better continuous show of Christmas lights and seasonal costumes and scenes anywhere! So make sure that you are there, somewhere along Stittsville Main Street, to see this year’s annual Christmas Parade of Lights. It’s now become a Stittsville tradition that really spreads the Christmas spirit through the community. It all begins at 6 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 26 along Stittsville Main Street. Don’t miss it!

The purpose of the study is to identify a Recommended Plan for expansion of the existing commuter parking lot. The proposed expansion will include an expansion to approximately 67 standard parking spaces, three barrier free spaces, and two van spaces. This project will also investigate illumination and signage improvements. This study will include reviewing existing conditions and the development and evaluation of a range of reasonable alternatives to determine the most appropriate design and location for the expansion. A Recommended Plan will be selected at the completion of the study. THE PROCESS This study is a “Group C” project under the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) and includes undertaking environmental and engineering field investigations and seeking input from the public, local municipalities, external ministries/agencies, and businesses. Upon completion of preliminary design, an Environmental Screening Document will be prepared and filed with the MTO to summarize the mitigation measures and results of the study.

Stories told about soldiers in World War One BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

George Lawrence Price of Nova Scotia was the last soldier killed in World War One. He was killed two minutes before 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918 which was when the armistice ending the fighting went into effect. Everyone knew that the armistice was happening and yet unlucky George Lawrence

Price ended up paying the ultimate sacrifice just two minutes before the end. This was but one of the numerous personal stories about soldiers in World War One which Brian Tackaberry told as he talked about the World War One experience in Eastern Ontario in particular in his presentation “The Lost Generation: Eastern Ontario During World War One” at

the November meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society on Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Legion Hall in Stittsville. Although his main field of expertise is soldiers from the Almonte and Lanark areas who fought in World War One as he has written two books on the subject, Brian did incorporate the names and stories of several Goulbourn soldiers

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan Amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan Amendment affects development in the Village of Richmond on the Northeast Development Lands, Industrial Lands and lands east of McBean Street and south of the railway tracks. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The purpose of the City-initiated amendments are to make necessary changes to the Richmond Secondary Plan in Volume 2C of the Official Plan to require that all development of the Northeast Development Lands, Industrial Lands and future residential and commercial lands east of McBean Street and south of the railway tracks be based on public communal well services. Development in the Industrial Lands will additionally be required to be connected to the central wastewater collection system.

into this presentation to the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Brian added to the atmosphere of his presentation by wearing a World War One soldier’s uniform, wool garments that were too hot in summer and not warm enough in the winter. All of his jacket pouches, he explained, would be filled with ammunition in the field. He would also be carrying a trenching shovel and a knapsack, with everything weighing about 40 pounds when fully loaded. He also had on display two types of soldier caps. There was the cloth cap which was used when the war began and which offered the soldier no head protection. Eventually the standard tin cap took over as it was found to save lives as it offered some head protection to the soldier. He noted that when war was declared in Canada on Aug. 4, 1914, there already were some standing militia units in existence. But even within a week of war being declared, the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry battalion was formed, specifically on Aug. 10, 1914. A private citizen had put up the funds to equipment this battalion which initially trained at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa.

Other battalions followed such as the 2nd Battalion Eastern Ontario Regiment which involved soldiers from across Eastern Ontario, the 21st Battalion formed in Kingston and the 77th Battalion of Ottawa (better known as the Governor General’s Footguards). These Canadian soldiers initially trained at the new Camp Valcartier in Quebec, with the first contingent of 35,000 soldiers sailing overseas in October 1914. Upon arrival in England, the soldiers underwent more training and did not see the trenches in Europe until 1915. Canadian soldiers saw battle action at the Battle of Ypres in April 1915 which was where gas was used for the first time, with the soldiers not equipped with gas masks to defend themselves. The Battle of the Somme was a long running battle, lasting from July through November. The battle of Vimy Ridge happened in April 1917, with soldiers from Eastern Ontario involved. The battle of Passchendaele followed in Nov. 1917. The final 100 days campaign of 1918 saw forces push into northern France and Belgium. There was the Battle of Amiens, the Battle of Arras

and the Battle of Canal du Nord. Soldiers specifically mentioned by Brian in his overview of World War One included Robert Lorne Hamilton of the Goulbourn area who was with the 21st Battalion and died on Sept. 15, 1916 at Courcelette which was where tanks were used in wartime for the first time; John Eynouf of Ashton who enlisted with the 73rd Battalion in 1915 and who died in battle on Nov. 13, 1916, with no known grave; Private Henry Guy of Stittsville, 19 years old, with the 73rd Battalion who died on Feb. 4, 1917 in one of the trench raids on German positions before the Battle of Vimy Ridge; Private James Macfarland of Richmond who enlisted in England in Oct. 1915 and who died on Dec. 30, 1917; and Private Sefton Stewart of Richmond who enlisted in 1916 and who died on Aug. 8, 1918 at the age of 20. Brian told about the Royal Flying Corps which involved Canadians since Canada had no air force of its own at that time. Flight Lt. James T. Kirkland of Almonte flew 66 successful missions until his plane was shot down in July 1918, killing him at 19 years of age. See ACTIVITIES, page 7

The effect of the amendment is to remove two exception provisions in the secondary plan that have allowed for private or partial servicing of some development on the Northeast Development Lands, Southeast Development Lands or Industrial Lands in the Village of Richmond. FURTHER INFORMATION For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, please contact the undersigned planner. Further information, including access to the application, additional materials, and any related plans, studies or reports may also be obtained by going to Ottawa.ca/devapps and inputting the File Number D01-01-16-0018 in the “Search” criteria. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by December 23, 2016. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the Official Plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa.

Fun, laughter at meeting BY MONIKA JAIN Special to the News

“Germs and Vaccinations.” Now you might think that such a theme would make for a sombre, serious meeting. But, no, this was far from the case at the Nov. 16 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club as it turned out to be a meeting filled with fun and laughter. The word of the day, incidentally, was “Education.” Antonio Misaka assumed the role of toastmaster for the meeting, the first time that he had taken this role since joining the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. In this role, he shared lots of facts about germs and vaccination. There were 11 members in attendance at the meeting including two guests, Ann Semour and John Rich. This was Ann’s last time as a guest as she is now an official member of the Stittsville Club. John Rich has been a Toastmaster Club member since 1999. He is a past District Governor in the Toronto area as well as a past International Director. Mathieu Boudreau opened the meeting by telling about how organizations like Bill and Melinda Gates’ Global Health Foundation has been working to improve health conditions in developing countries. Carol Ring presented a toast to “Good Germs,” noting that there are 100 trillion friendly bacteria living inside a person to help keep us healthy. Carol also presented a speech at the meeting, presenting the story by De. Seuss “Oh, the places you’ll

go.” Carol is the first member of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club to finish her Competent Communicator manual and she is now working on her “Advance Communication” manual and more specifically the storytelling manual. Gerry Tapp was the second speaker at the meeting, presenting an educational speech entitled “Presenting a Toast – Good, Bad and Ugly.” John Rich evaluated Carol Ring’s speech while Helene Rivest evaluated Gerry Tapp’s speech. Such evaluations are important in Toastmasters as they help members grow as speakers, evaluators and listeners. Gina Cook was in charge of the Table Topics segment of the meeting. She just returned from a District 61 conference in Bromont QC, bringing back a new idea called “Bouncing Ball.” Speakers are chosen at random to speak for two minutes on a specific topic. Each subsequent speaker has to speak for two minutes about a theme or a word from the remarks of the previous speaker. It proved to be challenging but members enjoyed this new “Bouncing Ball” segment. Carla Gadjecki was the grammarian for this meeting while Maria Pemberton was the filler word counter. Ann Semour was the quizmaster. Maria Pemberton closed the meeting talking about Canadian and Nobel Prize winner Dr. Frederick Banting who developed insulin to treat diabetes. For information about the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, please contact Gerry Tapp at 613-721-8177 or via email at tapp.gerry@rogers.com . 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 contact@stittsvilletoastmasters.ca .

Activities on the home front Continued from page 6

Brian also explained about what was going on at the home front during the war years. There was lots of fundraising for relief work in war areas like Belgium. Knitting groups sprang up to knit scarves, hats and other items for the troops. There was the sale of war bonds and there were taxes on stamps as well as the introduction of that “temporary” wartime measure, income tax. Food at the home front was rationed. Soldiers were encouraged to write home frequently but letters were censored to remove any references to the specific area where Canadian

troops might be located. The armistice ending World War One was signed on Nov. 11, 1918 but it took months for everyone to return home. The wounded came home first. Some battalions remained overseas longer as there was some doubt if the armistice would hold and peace would return. The Great War Veterans Association of Canada was formed as the war ended. This organization eventually evolved to be the Royal Canadian Legion. Ironically, the Canadian government officially unveiled the new War Memorial at Confederation Square in Ottawa in May 1939, just before World War Two broke out.

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.

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.

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

OPINION

Ottawa-Vanier forever red

here are some things that are highly unlikely but still possible, and then there are those things that are absolutely impossible. Just a week after the highly unlikely came true in the U.S. with the election of Donald Trump as president, there were some who thought, briefly, that the impossible could happen and a Liberal could lose an election in Vanier. Didn’t happen. That is indeed truly impossible. After the votes were counted in the Nov. 17 provincial byelection in the Ottawa-Vanier riding, Liberal Nathalie Des Rosiers crushed the Progressive Conservative’s star recruit André Marin by a victory margin of 5,655 votes, or 48.5 per cent of the vote to Marin’s 30 per cent. The margin of victory for the Liberals was below that of the last provincial election, but the reality is that the race to succeed former Liberal MPP Madeleine Meilleur wasn’t even close. There were whispers before byelection day that the Liberals were vulnerable in Vanier. They clearly were not. If the provincial Liberals were ever going to see their Ottawa-Vanier stronghold crumble this would be the time. The Liberal government of Kathleen

Wynne is, according to province-wide polls, on shaky ground with the electorate across Ontario, but Ottawa-Vanier isn’t the province as a whole. It is not considered a Liberal political fortress for nothing. If the Progressive Conservatives are ever going to challenge Liberal domination in Vanier and allow Nepean-Carleton PC MPP Lisa MacLeod to see a Tory elected in Ottawa-Vanier in, as she says, her lifetime, there would have to be a political earthquake in Vanier and there are no signs that the earth is going to move to such an extent any time soon. Marin, a Nepean resident, said after the vote count that he’s encouraged but he would have to take a step back and reflect on his campaign before deciding if he’d run again as the PC candidate in Ottawa-Vanier. “I need to reflect … I’ve got to reconsider all the options looking forward,” Marin said. If he is interested in running for provincial office again in the near future, he should consider finding another riding to parachute into. There are some things that are a given in life, and in the city of Ottawa one of those things is that Vanier is true-blue Liberal red.

2017 spending should leave some lasting results

e seem to have an infinite capacity for being distracted by shiny things. The latest is the proposed outdoor National Hockey League game that has been occupying the headlines of late. Can the game be on Parliament Hill or should it be at TD Place and who’s to blame for it not being at one, or the other, or either? In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? As far as I know, no dollar figure for the city taxpayer has been attached to any of the proposals, but you can imagine we wouldn’t be getting it for nothing. And while it might be Scroogelike to grump about such a fun event, it is hard to see a lasting benefit. Once the game is over, everyone goes home, the rink is taken away and that’s that. I’ve been looking at the cost of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town things lately, with an eye to certain provisions of the city budget. This started with an announcement that the city was committing $610,000 to social agencies that work with poor people. That sounds nice, until you begin pondering what $610,000 will buy and contrasting it with other expenditures. We spent $610,000 on agencies that help poor people. We are committing more than twice that, $1.5 million, on extra policing costs associated with next year’s bicentennial celebrations. And we announce $400,000 for a sound-and-light show at Chaudière

Falls for several weeks next fall 2017 to celebrate indigenous cultures. How’s that $610,000 looking now? It’s an easy game to point out frivolous spending and think of ways that it could be used more constructively. Every time I look at the Super Bowl halftime show I think of how many people in Africa could be fed with that money. It’s an easy game, but it does say something about our society’s priorities. Just to give you another example of how $610,000 stacks up, how about the cost of the royal visit to British Columbia by Prince William and family in September? Preliminary estimates by the department of Heritage come in at $855,000. That includes $116,000 for a dry-run of the event before the royal folks even arrived.

To recap: $610,000 for anti-poverty groups in Ottawa, $855,000 for Will and Kate. Some better news for poor people in Ottawa is the introduction of a low-income bus pass. Some constructive spending of taxpayer money ($2.7 million a year according to a CBC report) is involved, but even here there are questions. The price of the pass, $57 a month, has been criticized as too high to be useful. It could be lower if the province kicked in more money. But the province, as we know, has its own priorities. The 2017 celebrations in this city are considered highly important by some people. In all likelihood those businesses that are involved in tourism will benefit. And in all likelihood the city will get some national and international publicity out of it, which may be worth something, EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: John Brummell john.brummell@metroland.com - 613-221-6202

although no one can really tell how much. Money is available for 2017 and money will be spent. It shouldn’t be too unreasonable to ask that some of it be spent in ways that bring permanent benefit to the city and its residents, particularly its less privileged ones.

Nine new compositions by Stairwell Carollers BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The Stairwell Carollers, one of Ontario’s top choirs, is returning to Stittsville for the third year in a row to present a Christmas concert. This Stairwell Carollers concert entitled “Adeste fideles” will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. But this concert will not be anything like “same old, same old.” It will feature not only fresh arrangements of old favourites but also new creations. Indeed, there will be nine new compositions unveiled at this Dec. 3 concert. Pierre Massie, this a cappella choir’s founder and director, who is an award-winning composer as well, has composed eight brand-new arrangements which will be premiered at this year’s concert. These new arrangements include refreshed versions of some of the choir’s best loved Christmas carols like “Silent Night,” “Mon beau sapin” (“O Christmas Tree) and “Adeste fideles” (“O Come, All Ye Faithful”). Besides these eight new arrangements by Pierre Massie, the concert will also feature a new Christmas carol called “Rideau Carol” composed by David Rain who has sung with the Stairwell Carollers for 24 years. This is David’s very first attempt at composing a Christmas carol. “Rideau Carol” conveys in words and music the sights and sounds of the National Capital

region in winter. And all of these new arrangements along with some old favourites and Christmas carols from distant times, lands and cultures will be performed by the Stairwell Carollers who have twice won the Ontario Musical Festivals Association competition, making the Carollers one of the province’s top choirs. Tickets at $15 each for this Dec. 3 concert “Adeste fideles” can be obtained in advance at the church on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays or by calling 613-836-5229. Tickets will also be available at the door. The choir’s CDs will be on sale at the concert. They make perfect Christmas gifts for that music lover in your life. Proceeds from the concert as well as from the CD sales will result in donations being made to local charities and for music scholarships for local high school students. Over the years the Stairwell Carollers have donated over $130,000 to charities and these scholarships. This Dec. 3 concert at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville is one of six Christmas concerts being presented by the Stairwell Carollers in the weeks leading up to Christmas this year. These include concerts at St. Stephen’s Church in Chelsea on Nov. 26, at Trinity United Church on Maitland Ave. in Ottawa on Friday, Dec. 2, at St. Mark the Evangelist Church on Fisher Ave. in Ottawa on Friday, Dec. 9, at Knox Presbyterian Church on Lisgar St. in Ottawa on Friday, Dec. 16 and at St. Columba Church on Sandridge Road in Ottawa on Saturday, Dec. 17.

What’s up, doc, in village of Stittsville?

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

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. Parker’s talk is called “Watts in your hydro bill?’ Parker will take you through every line-item on your bill, and he’ll explain what each one covers. If you think the electricity line covers only the cost of generating electricity, you may be shocked at what else it contains. Here are the dates, times, and locations for all four town-hall meetings: • November 26th, 2016 • 10:00-12:00 Mississippi Mills Stewart Community Centre – Upper Hall 112 MacFarlane St, Pakenham, ON • November 26th, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm John G Mlacak Centre Bud Purnell (Hall C) 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata, ON K2K 2W3 • December 3rd, 2016 • 10:00-12:00pm Kinburn Community Centre 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn, ON • December 3rd, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm Intercultural Dialogue Institute 335 Michael Cowpland Drive #112, Kanata, ON For more information, please contact his office at 613-599-3000 or email jack.maclarenco@pc.ola.org

In my November 1st Stittsville News column, I announced that the contract for the Richmond Forcemain improvements and upgrades had been awarded to Robert Excavating and that work would commence imminently. Three weeks removed from that time, nearby residents will have noticed that the contractor has mobilized and construction has begun. Users of the lagoon trail system will have already noticed an impact as the trail and parkland behind homes along Dallaire Crescent has been closed. Further, the parking lot off of Eagleson, near Barnsdale Road, has also been closed. We have been working on any concerns that have been brought forward as a result of project startup. Streets in the construction zone will be monitored daily for construction debris as required. The Project Manager on this file, Danny Palermo, has been providing me with weekly updates on construction. I will be relaying that information to nearby residents via email. If you would like to receive such updates, please send me an email and let me know.

Music, music, music at SCHS The South Carleton High School band members are now working on

BY BETHANY WALKER Special to the News

Life in the South Carleton High School band is busy. There’s been a fundraising band-a-thon. There’s been playing at the annual Remembrance Day service in Richmond. And how about attending a performance by the internationally renowned Canadian Brass ensemble – now, that was amazing and inspirational! Now the band is busy preparing for an upcoming Christmas concert at the school in Richmond. It’s a time of music, music, music! The band’s semi-annual band-a-thon on Friday, Nov. 4 ran from 11:35 a.m. to 10 p.m., with about 90 band members from every grade participating and taking turns playing not only in the music room but also on the stage in the cafetorium as the music played on and on and on – after all, it was a band-a-thon which is a marathon of music. SUBMITTED There was a potluck style supper for all those involved, South Carleton High School band members perform as they participate with everyone contributing to the meal. in the recent fundraising band-a-thon at the school in Richmond. Band members paid $10 each, raised funds or collected pledges in order to participate in the band-a-thon. All of the proceeds from this band-a-thon, about $2300, were directed to help the music program with expenses such as new instruments, trips and sheet music. The South Carleton band attended the annual Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph at Memorial Park in Richmond where the band played the national anthem as well as “Abide with Me” and “God Save The Queen.” The band plays at this Remembrance Day service every year as a way of honouring and respecting those who have fought and those who have died in military service to Canada. The Canadian Brass ensemble was in Ottawa in November for three concerts at the Centrepointe Theatre, with an additional concert added for school band members to attend. The Canadian Brass quintet is perhaps the world’s most famous brass ensemble. At this concert, South Carleton band members heard new arrangements for such classic songs as “Amazing Grace,” “Flight of the Bumblebee” and “Penny Lane.” It was an amazing performance by the Canadian Brass and provided inspiration for band members to work on their own musical arrangements.

‘Christmas in the Stable’ happening again this year BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Last December Trinity Presbyterian Church held a “Christmas in the Stable” presentation at Sunset Farms on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, hosted by Grits McMullen. For this evening event, a portion of the barn was set up as a stable for the telling of the Christmas story. Those attending sang familiar Christmas carols, heard singers tell the story in song and listened to the stories of the innkeeper, the wide man and a shepherd boy, each telling the story of that first Christmas from their own unique perspective. It turned out to be a night to remember and it’s going to happen

again this year on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. Only this year, this “Christmas in the Stable” event is being held not at Sunset Farms in Stittsville but rather at Wesley Clover Parks on Corkstown Road in Nepean. Food and cash donations will be collected at the event to go to local food banks to help those who are in need at Christmas time. Everyone is welcome to attend this “Christmas in the Stable” event this year and join in the singing of carols and the hearing of the Christmas story in a stable setting, adding a new dimension to this timeless story. For more information, please contact Trinity Presbyterian Church at 613-836-1429.

‘We Scare Hunger’ campaign at Guardian Angels SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Over 2000 non-perishable items were collected in a recent “We Scare Hunger” campaign at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville. Organized by students involved with the school’s Social Justice Group and involving both students

and staff at the school, the campaign ended up collecting 18 boxes of nonperishable items for the Stittsville Food Bank. Dymon Storage of Kanata donated black storage boxes that the school was able to borrow for convenient storage and transportation of

the collected items to the Stittsville Food Bank. The Social Justice Group at the school worked hard to remind and motivate students to donate a variety of non-perishable items ranging from toothbrushes and shampoo to pasta sauce and school lunch snacks

to help families in need in the community. The campaign was a way for the Social Justice Group members to help make a difference in the community and the world. The Social Justice Group created posters to display around the school, performed skits at a school assembly and provided numerous reminders

of the campaign during the morning and afternoon school announcements, all to remind students and staff about the campaign. The Social Justice Group is extremely thanked to Dymon Storage for its generosity and for partnering with the Group in this initiative.

People’s Choice balloting for ’A Splash of Colour’ BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The people have spoken (no, this is not about the election of Donald Trump) and the winners in the People’s Choice balloting for the Ottawa West Arts Association exhibition (owaa) “A Splash of Colour” have been announced. Tying for first place in the balloting in which viewers indicate a favourite piece in the exhibition were artists Shelley Lacroix for her large oil painting “In the Morning Light” and also Binish Rasheed with her work entitled “Summer Beauty.” Finishing in second place in the People’s Choice balloting for this “A Splash of Colour” exhibition was Josie Walsh’s mixed media work entitled “Rustico PEI” which showed a white lighthouse beneath a blue sky tinge with white clouds. Third place in the People’s Choice balloting went to Catherine Gutsche for her acrylic painting entitled “My Guardian Angel” which was a colourful abstract depiction of swirls of red, blue and green. The number of votes cast in the People’s Choice balloting for this exhibition was higher than normal. Each exhibition mounted by the owaa

at the owaa gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville features a People’s Choice balloting. Ballots and a ballot box are placed on the top of the glass display case which is associated with the gallery. Those viewing the exhibition are encouraged to fill out a ballot identifying a favourite work in the exhibition. These ballots are tallied at the conclusion of the exhibition. The artists always look forward to the results of the People’s Choice balloting, considering it a great honour to be one of the winners. This “A Splash of Colour” exhibition was on display at the owaa gallery from early September through until last week. This exhibition has now been replaced by a new exhibition entitled “Magic in the Wind” which will run during November and December. There will be People’s Choice balloting during this new exhibition. Those viewing the exhibition are encouraged to fill out a People’s Choice ballot indicating your favourite piece in the exhibition. The owaa gallery is open whenever the GRC itself is open which is seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Five games, five shutouts: Champions! BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Five games. Five shutouts. It’s a recipe for victory and that’s just what happened when the Goulbourn Rockets Bantam 2 team travelled to

Cornwall for the recent 33rd annual Cornwall Typkoons girls house league tournament. The Goulbourn Rockets Bantam 2 team cruised through the round robin portion of the tournament with three straight wins, all shut-

outs. Rockets Sasha McQueen, Katie Bootland and Alexandra Hershaw all earned “Player of the Game” honours in these games. This round robin performance saw the Goulbourn Rockets go up against the Nepean Wildcats in semi-final action. In this game, Madi Wong of the Rockets scored on an NHL caliber short side shot to give the Rockets a 1-0 lead. The teams then traded scoring chance after scoring chance until Tori Bailey scored for the Rockets in the third period, with a huge assist from Grace Kasouf. This 2-0 victory launched the Rockets into the championship final. It turned out to be an all-Goulbourn final with two Goulbourn teams facing off against each other. Makenna Barker of the Goulbourn Rockets Bantam 2 team let a rising shot go from the top of the circle after streaking down the right wing, finding the back of the net and giving her team a 1-0 lead.

Defensemen Abby Blauer and Ali Green led a strong defensive effort, giving the opposition few chances to score. And all of these chances were turned back by goalie Violet MacEwen. McKinley Cooke of the Rockets punished the opposition at every turn, inspiring her teammates. Zoe McIntosh delivered a thunderous hit that allowed play to continue and resulted in Makenna Barker’s second goal of the game, making it 2-0. This is how it ended, with the Goulbourn Rockets Bantam 2 team being crowned as champion of this Cornwall Girls Hockey Association tournament. Goulbourn Rockets Abby Blauer, Violet MacEwen and Makenna Barker were all named to the all-tournament team. Makenna Barker was the leading scorer while Abby Blauer was the top fefenceman. Violet MacEwen was the best goalie, finishing the tournament with no goals against in five games.

STAY WARM AND SAVE ON HOME ENERGY THIS WINTER As we head into the winter months, you may notice one thing: an increase in your energy bill. The reduced amount of daylight drives us to turn on our lights sooner, while the cooler temperatures cause us to crank up the heat inside. The winter and summer months tend to be the most energy-intensive times of the year, as we try to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, despite what the thermometer says.

8 Tips to Save Money and Stay Warm this Winter! 1 Set the thermostat to 20° C (68°F) when you’re home. 6 Insulate.

Country gospel music at Ashton SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

An afternoon of country gospel music. Sounds entertaining. With the music provided by the Gospel Matters band featuring Lyoness and Judy Woodstock and friends. Now that’s bound to be enjoyable and toe tapping. And all to help raise funds for the Ashton Untied Church in Ashton. It’s a must-attend event, no doubt about it! It all happens on Sunday, Nov. 27 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ashton United Church in Ashton. Tickets are only $15 per person and can be reserved by contacting the church office at 613-838-3047 (leave a message on the answering machine if no one answers). Tickets will be available at the door if all of the tickets are not sold 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.

Cyclones win all-Stittsville final in Peterborough SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

A Stittsville team was going to emerge as

the winner of the 35th annual Wally Beavis it was an all-Stittsville final, with the StittsTournament in Peterborough. That’s because ville PeeWee A Cyclones facing the Stittsville PeeWee A Mustangs. And talk about a tight championship game – it went back and forth and could not be settled in regulation play or in overtime, with both goalies making some amazing saves. So it went to a shootout. The Cyclones’ shot first and scored with goals from Cameron Cheslock and Bryce Usher. It was up to the Mustangs to match or beat this. The Mustangs did score once but then the Cyclones’ goalie Ben Fowlow came up with a great right pad save against the final Mustangs’ shooter to clinch the win. No wonder Ben was the MVP of the game.

The Stittsville Cyclones began the tournament with a win against the Leitrim Hawks on the Friday morning, following it up with a win over the Oakville Flyers on the Friday evening. On Saturday morning, the Cyclones beat the West Carleton Warriors and then in the afternoon the Cyclones finished off round robin play with a victory over the Kanata Kings. The Cyclones played the Canterbury Fighting Camels in semi-final playoff action, getting off to a slow start and trailing 1-0 before scoring seven unanswered goals to clinch a spot in the championship final game against the Stittsville PeeWee A Mustangs.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan Amendment and Comprehensive Zoning By-law Amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan Amendment (file number D01-01-16-0011) and Zoning By-Law Amendment (file number D02-02-16-0073) affects new development and redevelopment in proximity to the MacDonald-Cartier International Airport as well as the Rockcliffe and Carp Airports as illustrated on Annex 10 of the Official Plan. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The purpose of the City-initiated amendments are to: • update Annex 10 of the Official Plan with a new 35 NEP/NEF composite noise contour line • to make necessary changes and streamline existing airport noise control policies in the Official Plan • make necessary updates to the Zoning Bylaw The introduction of a new 35 composite contour in Annex 10 is a result of new noise projections for the McDonald-Cartier airport to the year 2043. Effort has been made to have the 35 NEP line conform generally to land use boundaries and topographic features. The streamlined policies and necessary changes in the Official Plan are intended to provide greater clarity in regard to land use permissions in the vicinity of airports and provide an update to dates and references. Changes to the Zoning Bylaw will generally be limited to necessary updates of dates and references and replacement of Schedule 6.

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 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 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. 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 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. Stittsville News - Thursday, November 24, 2016 25

35th anniversary of cenotaph in 2017 BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The cenotaph in Stittsville marks its 35th anniversary next year in 2017. It was in 1982 that the cenotaph was erected and it was on Remembrance Day, November 11, 1982 that the first service was held at this cenotaph at the front of what is now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena (formerly the Stittsville District Community Centre) in Stittsville. Prior to the erection of his permanent cenotaph, Remembrance Day services organized by the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion were held at the front of the former Stittsville village municipal building (now part of the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library) at the south end of the village. Having a permanent cenotaph in the community had been a dream of the Stittsville Legion and its members virtually since the formation of the branch in the late 1960’s – and it came about in dream-like fashion that no one could have foreseen or predicted. Early in 1982, the members of the Stittsville

Legion, under president Roger Griffiths, decided that they were ready to erect a permanent cenotaph dedicated to those in the community who had served their country in war and those who had paid the supreme sacrifice fighting for their country. This decision came after many years of planning and gathering funds for such a project. The Legion applied to Goulbourn township council for permission to erect this new cenotaph at the front of the then-Stittsville District Community Centre. A Stittsville News’ report of this request resulted in what was little short of a miracle, with the Legion and community ending up with an awe-inspiring cenotaph. Clive Morris of the Stittsville Legion had prepared tentative design plans for a cenotaph which had been presented to Goulbourn township council when permission was being sought for use of the site in front of the Stittsville District Community Centre. These tentative design plans had appeared in The Stittsville News, along with a report of the request for use of the site. This resulted in a unique offer that resulted

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 9, 2016, established its intention to designate the 307 Richmond Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of Property- Former Skead’s Mills Methodist Church, 307 Richmond Road The church at 307 Richmond Road is a one-and-one-half-storey stone building constructed in 1898 in the Westboro neighbourhood in Ottawa’s west end. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value The building at 307 Richmond Road has cultural heritage value for its design value as a village church built in the Gothic Revival style, its historic value as an example of the early development of Ottawa’s west end, and its contextual value as a landmark along Richmond Road. The church at 307 Richmond Road has design value as a good example of a small 19th century stone village church in the Ottawa area. The building is a simple interpretation of the Gothic Revival style, featuring pointed arch windows with decorative tracery and stone quoins. The central gable over the front door features decorative bargeboard. Located in the present day community of Westboro, the former Skead’s Mills Methodist Church has historical value for its association with the early development of the Ottawa’s west end. Constructed in 1898, it is one of the oldest remaining buildings in Westboro. It operated as a Methodist church until 1925 when the United Church of Canada was formed. In 1928, the building was sold to a Baptist congregation. The building has contextual value due to its location on Richmond Road, which as the main east-west highway into the city, played an integral role in the development of the small, rural villages west of Ottawa. The church is a landmark as one of a number of stone buildings located along Richmond Road in Westboro, the centre of Nepean Township in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

26 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 24, 2016

in the erection of the cenotaph in May, its dedication in June and its first Remembrance Day use in November, all in 1982. What happened is that the newspaper report brought forth an offer from Stittsville resident Ken Killick, a veteran of the Royal Air Force, and three of his associates who were advocates of the power of pyramid shapes. Mr. Killick’s three associates were Lee Olds of Thompson, Ohio, a United States Army veteran; Dean Hardy of Alligan, Michigan, a former United States marine; and Ash Bywarters of Roxton, Texas, a veteran of the U.S. Naval Air Service. They offered to donate an obelisk as a gift to the people of Stittsville and district to serve as the cenotaph, while also providing its backdrop walls of precast stone. This offer was immediately accepted, with completed plans agreed upon and a work schedule drawn up for erection of this new permanent cenotaph. Work on preparing the site at the front of the then-Stittsville District Community Centre (arena) began on Friday, May 21, 1982 with Ivan Latimer of Latimer Equipment providing a backhoe along with Brian Latimer as its operator, working under the guidance of Joe Kadoza and John Matheson of the Stittsville Legion. Ron Moore of Ron Moore Equipment provided the use of a truck for removal of excess material from the site. Work on the site preparation continued through the next day, Saturday, May 22, 1982 with Ivan Latimer again helping out by providing the necessary levels as Joe Kadoza and John Matheson and others built the forms for the concrete base required for the cenotaph and backdrop walls. Volunteers such as Gord Davis, Ike Gauvin, Hiram Alexander, Bob Fredericks and Lonnie Burse, along with numerous other Legion members and supporters, wielded shovels, wheelbarrows and even a cutting torch as they spread stone and cement, creating the cenotaph’s base. The next phase of the project happened on the following Thursday evening, May 27, 1982, when a Ryder rental truck left Stittsville at 6:30 p.m. for Thompson, Ohio under the guidance of Jim Carmichael, who was accompanied by Stittsville Legion president Roger Griffiths. They were off to pick up the donated obelisk and backdrop walls which would become the Stittsville cenotaph. After an all-night drive through rain storms, they arrived in Thompson, Ohio and Olds Precast Stone. By 10 a.m. that morning, the obelisk and walls had been loaded on the truck and the truck was headed back to Stittsville, arriving back on the Friday evening, May 28 about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, May 29, 1982 was a day when the cenotaph site at the front of the Stittsville arena was again a beehive of volunteer workers and helpers. It was the day when Stittsville’s own permanent cenotaph was erected. Thanks to the use of donated equipment, the obelisk and backdrop walls were off-loaded from the truck and then placed on the new concrete base. The work at the cenotaph only halted for a lunch which was provided for the volunteer workers at the Legion Hall by the branch’s Ladies’ Auxiliary. With the permanent cenotaph now erected,

the next step was its official dedication which happened on Saturday, June 26, 1982. The cenotaph was dedicated to those who served and died for Canada’s freedom and for peace. Among the dignitaries in attendance at the dedication ceremony were Nepean-Carleton Member of Parliament Walter Baker, Goulbourn township mayor Betty Hill, Legion District Commander Vic Haughey and Stittsville Legion chaplain Rev. Canon S.B. Kenward. This dedication was followed by the first-ever Remembrance Day service at this new cenotaph on Thursday, November 11, 1982. The cenotaph was considered unique, one of the kind, and over the ensuing 34 years, it has retained its elegance as a symbol not only commemorating all those involved in war but also in its own way standing as a symbol of the peace, brotherly love and friendship as evidenced by its donation by four veterans living in two countries who generously donated it, an example of what they preached as the peace power of the obelisk. For the first Remembrance Day service at the Stittsville cenotaph on Thursday, November 11, 1982, the weather was grey and overcast but it was warm for November, with very little wind. Members of the Stittsville and Richmond Legion branches, their Ladies’ Auxiliaries, Brownies, Girl Guides, Cubs and Scouts had marched from the Legion Hall on Main Street to the site of the new cenotaph at the front of the then-Stittsville District Community Centre. They were accompanied by Navy cadets and the cadet marching band. Dignitaries taking part in this Remembrance Day service including Nepean-Carleton Member of Parliament Walter Baker, CarletonGrenville MPP the Honourable Norm Sterling, Goulbourn township mayor Betty Hill, city of Kanata mayor Marianne Wilkinson, Stittsville Legion president Roger Griffiths and Richmond Legion president Dennis Paproski. After the singing of “O Canada” to begin the service, there was a minute’s silence when everything seemed to still, even the wind. One flag beside the new obelisk cenotaph fluttered to a stop, lying limp across the obelisk, like a big hand reaching out and touching it. A piper then sounded the Last Post, with the sorrowful sounds of the bagpipers ringing out across the expanse of the arena parking lot where over 200 persons had assembled to witness and take part in this first-ever Remembrance Day service before this majestic new cenotaph. The wreath laying at the base of the cenotaph was begun with young Tina Latimer, a granddaughter of a veteran, laying a wreath on behalf of all mothers in the district who had lost a son or daughter in war. In his address at the service, Stittsville Legion chaplain Rev. Canon S.B. Kenward of Stittsville said that people had received a torch from those who had died in war and that “we must continue to work and give for world peace.” Pointing out that love is the giving of self, Canon Kenward said that this was the recipe for peace espoused by St. Francis of Assisi. Where there is hatred, replace it with love and then there will be no need for armaments, Canon Kenward concluded.

Richmond Royals skate to 12-4 win over Prescott BY JOHN CURRY john.cuyrry@metroland.com

The Richmond Royals rebounded from a mid-week loss to beat the visiting Prescott Flyers 12-4 in a Central Canada Hockey League tier 2 game at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 20. The Royals scored three goals within the first ten minutes of the game, including one at the 30 second mark, as they ended up leading 5-3 after a goal-prolific first period. The Royals continued scoring in the second period, adding another three goals to take an 8-4 lead into the third period. The third period saw the Royals scored four unanswered goals to end up winning the game by a 12-4 score. The Royals peppered 59 shots at the Prescott net while Royals goalie Nick Bond faced 36 shots in the game. Mike DiBello scored three goals for the Royals in this game while both Patrick Yates and Aaron Hickie picked up two goals apiece.

In Stittsville Town League BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

One game was low scoring and one game was high scoring in the Stittsville Town League on Thursday, Nov. 17. But both games saw the teams all tied up after two periods of play. In the case of the high scoring game, third period action determined the outcome. In the case of the low scoring game, the outcome had to be decided in a shootout. The low scoring game saw Laurysen Kitchens get by the Molson’s Black squad by a 3-2 score thanks to a shootout goal by Dominik Rozman. Indeed, it was quite a game for Dominik as he also scored his team’s other two goals in the game as well. Picking up assists in the game for Laurysen Kitchens were Scott Vennor and Corey Laurysen. Scoting for Molson’s Black in this game were Robbie Clarkson and Shayne Thompson. Earning assists were Matt Killen, Shayne Thompson and Chris McBurney. The game was tied 1-1 after the first period and 2-2 after two periods of play. A scoreless third period meant that the game had to be decided by a shootout. In the other Stittsville Town League game on Nov. 17, Pro2Col Red and Cabling Ottawa Orange were tied up 3-3 after one period of play. It was then 6-6 after two periods before Pro2Col Red exploded for four goals in the third period to end up winning the game BY JOHN CURRY by a 10-7 score. Pat Kavanagh scored four goals in this game for john.curry@metroland.com

Stittsville Rams Major Peewees win BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The Burlington Bulldogs were able to beat the Stittsville Rams Major Peewees once but not twice as the Rams skated to the championship in a recent tournament in Peterborough. The Rams suffered a loss to the Burlington Bulldogs in their opening game of the tournament, not a good way to start off such a tournament. But the Rams then dug in and

followed up this loss with two wins and a tie to finish with a record of two wins, one loss and one tie in round robin play in the tournament. This was good enough to advance to the tournament final. And just what team would the Rams be facing in this championship game? None other than this Burlington Bulldogs team that defeated the Rams in that early game in the tournament. The Rams, though, relished this second opportunity to play the Bulldogs and they made no mis-

take this time around, building up a 3-1 lead midway through the third period. Burlington closed the gap to one goal with eight minutes left to play but that’s as close as the Bulldogs would get as the Rams focused on strong defensive play in the final minutes to secure a 3-2 victory and the tournament championship.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Ottawa Public Health Initiatives Hello Residents, I thought I would take a moment to share with you some of the fantastic initiatives currently being undertaken by Ottawa Public Health (OPH). Part of OPH’s plan for ensuring a healthy lifestyle includes the “Healthy Eating, Active Living” campaign. They work tirelessly in researching and promoting useful tools such as easy-to-follow recipes, menu labelling tips, and community food advisors to help provide hands-on knowledge to community groups seeking healthy eating tips. They provide tips on maintaining physical activities in older adults, and information on the importance of regular walking or cycling All of these informational bytes and much more can be found on the Ottawa Public Health section of the City of Ottawa website at Ottawa.ca/en/residents/public-health In addition, OPH has recently added a new segment to their “Have THAT Talk” campaign to help reduce the stigma of mental health in the workplace as well as at home. In accordance with maintaining a healthy physical lifestyle, I highly encourage residents to also take a moment to take all the necessary steps in ensuring they are also actively pursuing a mental-health oriented life. Take a moment to peruse some of the videos as much of what is talked about may not always be common knowledge. I would like to thank our medical officer of health, Dr Isra Levy, and his staff for their ongoing commitment to a healthy Ottawa. As Chair of the Board of Health, it is my pleasure to continue working closely with OPH as new discussions arise and new resources are developed. Of course, as new information is provided, I will be happy to share it as I always do with residents through my community e-newsletter. If you have any thoughts or ideas you would like to share with Ottawa Public Health, I welcome you to send your comments in my direction by emailing me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa..ca Parade of Lights Street Closures I would like to take a moment to remind residents that the Stittsville Parade of Lights will be taking place next Saturday, November 26th down Stittsville Main St. Stittsville Main will be closed from 5:30-8:30 PM to traffic for this annual event. The parade begins at 6:00 at Hazeldean and Amberlakes area and continues to Carleton Cathcart Crescent. I would like to thank the Stittsville Village Association for taking the time as they do each year to ensure the parade is a success and I hope that all residents are able to join us as this joyous event is always a Stittsville Favourite. This year, my team and I will be riding in the parade with the theme “Ottawa 2017”. Be sure to keep an eye out for us and join us after the events in Village Square Park where we have limited supplies of Ottawa 2017 swag. Shad’s Christmas Card Contest It’s that time of year again!

Installing underground hydro in 2017

Got Events?

D A E R P S HE

john.curry@metroland.com

Hydro Ottawa will be completing the installation of new underground duct infrastructure and associated manholes along Granite Ridge Drive and Springbrook Drive/Trailway Circle in Stittsville in 2017. The work, which was begun this year, is being done to increase the reliability of the electrical distribution system in Stittsville. The work along Granite Ridge Drive next year will include installation of the underground duct work and associated manholes from the street’s connection with Fringewood Drive south to just beyond Stittsville Public School. The work from just beyond Stittsville Public School south to Abbott Street is now under construction. The work in Amberwood will include installation of the underground duct work and associated manholes from Old Orchard Crescent south to Abbott Street, following the east side of Springbrook Drive and then Trailway Circle before going along Moss Hill Trail to Abbott Street. Once this new infrastructure is in place, it will provide options for Hydro Ottawa in

providing electricity to areas adjacent to the new infrastructure. It also means that an existing overhead hydro line running from Hazeldean Road south to Abbott Street along the Amberwood Village golf course and along the backyard boundary between the Wyldewood and Amberwood subdivisions will be removed. This existing overhead line is difficult to service because of its location in backyards and adjacent to the golf course. It will not be needed for electricity supply once the new underground lines are completed along Granite Ridge Drive and also along Springbrook Drive/ Trailway Circle in Amberwood. An open house with information about the planned work next year along Granite Ridge Drive and Springbrook Drive/Trailway Circle was held at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena hall last week, with sparse attendance. Six Hydro Ottawa personnel were on hand to provide information about the planned work in 2017 and to respond to any questions or concerns. There were also maps showing the location of the planned work. The underground duct infrastructure that is being installed along Granite Ridge

Drive and Springbrook Drive/Trailway Circle will contain plastic 100 mm ducts encased in concrete which will allow for the easy installation and replacement when required of the electrical cables in the duct. Being underground, the cables are also protected from the weather, unlike with overhead installations. Manholes are part of the project as manholes provide access to the underground duct work and cables for maintenance and repair purposes. Hydro Ottawa expects to begin this new underground duct infrastructure and associated manholes project along Granite Ridge Drive and Springbrook Drive/Trailway Circle in the summer of 2017. The project along Granite Ridge Drive is scheduled for July and August when Stittsville Public School is closed for the summer. Hydro Ottawa’s existing rates includes funding infrastructure upgrading projects like this one in Stittsville. These rates are approved by the Ontario Energy Board. Replacement and upgrading of existing infrastructure is important as existing infrastructure ages. Most electrical distribution assets are considered to have a maximum lifespan of 50 years.

The iconic Peanuts character Charlie Brown and his friends will come alive in the play “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which will be presented on Sunday, Dec. 11 at both 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy this play about the true meaning of Christmas which 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. 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 Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has presented its new Volunteer of the Year Award for the first time. This new award, which is meant to recognize an individual who has made a positive impact on the Stittsville community through his or her volunteer efforts, was presented at the SVA annual general meeting on Nov. 17 to Helene Rivest of Stittsville. Helene is an active volunteer in the community, giving of her time and effort to numerous organizations.

These Community Builder Awards are presented to recognize volunteers who have helped make the community of Ottawa a safer and healthier place.

Steph Carr of Stittsville playing for Carleton Ravens JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The Carleton Ravens women’s basketball team this season which is ranked among the top teams in the country includes Steph Carr of Stittsville as one of its key players. The fourth year player is regarded as a sharpshooter and an outside shooting threat who is being counted on to

provide secondary scoring on a consistent basis throughout the season. A guard who wears jersey #5 for the Ravens, the 5 foot, 8 inch Carr has a good preseason. She is taking a Bio Mechanical and Mechanical Engineering program at Carleton, a program that challenges her interests in both math and science. And, of course, playing

basketball for the Ravens satisfies her other passion, namely a love of sports. Steph attended Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. The Ravens are ranked either first or second in polls this season. It is the first time ever that the Carleton Ravens women’s basketball team has been ranked number one in the country.

Imagine a time when you called a service company and a technician would show up promptly for a service call at your home, tip his hat, clean up any mess from the work performed, and thank you for your Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning is one of the select businesses certified business when the work is done. as a Bryan Baeumler Approved Contractor. This doesn’t have to be just a mem- Here, General Manager and Partner, Roger ory of a time when customer service Holmes (left), is shown with Bryan Baeumler was something to be taken seriously; during a visit to Toronto in September 2016. at Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning, they don’t just offer lip service about putting customers first, they are committed to taking customer service to the next level, and setting a whole new standard in the industry. “We designed our business around the belief that we would do what we said we were going to do, when said we were going to do it, and to then stand behind the work that we did,” General Manager and Partner, Roger Holmes explained. This may seem like rhetoric that so many other companies spout regularly, but for Holmes, this philosophy is the cornerstone of his business. He doesn’t expect people to take his word on it, however, the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. Being named as one of a select number of businesses recognized as a Bryan Baeumler Approved Contractor is proof positive of the Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning team’s reputation of high quality service, integrity, and honesty. The family-owned and operated business also has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and has been reviewed more than 200 times on Home Stars, a trusted resource for reviewing home professionals, with a rating of 9.6 out of 10. It’s easy to see why customers appreciate their experience - offering 24 hours same-day emergency service, and two-hour window appointment times so customers aren’t left waiting all day wondering when a technician will arrive. Servicing a wide geographical range, from Perth to Smiths Falls, Kanata, Stittsville, Carp, Arnprior, and Renfrew, no customer will be left high and dry when dealing with Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning. In fact, Holmes is so concerned with making sure the customers’ experience comes first, that appointment confirmation emails are sent out that include the name and recent photo of the technician who will be servicing the call, offering peace of mind to customers admitting someone unfamiliar into their home. When their technician arrives at a customer’s home the first thing they do is roll out the red carpet – literally! Technicians bring with them a carpet to stand on while putting on protective boot covers to ensure the customer’s home remains pristine after the service visit. These are the often-overlooked details that sets them above and beyond his competitors. Following their appointment, customers are emailed a copy of the work order describing what was done and the invoice, as well as a sincere thank you for choosing Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning for their service needs. “That’s the professionalism, we are respectful of our customer’s time, and respectful of their safety and security,” Holmes stressed, “Our goal as a team is to create a customer experience that is so exceptional all they want to do is tell everyone they know…it’s what we do different that keeps customers coming back.” Stittsville News - Thursday, November 24, 2016 33

Goulbourn Middle School student Elizabeth Tackabury stands beside a bulletin board in the school publicizing the upcoming Holiday Craft and Vendor Fair at the school on Saturday, Dec. 3. Elizabeth will be one of the vendors at the Fair, selling copies of a book that she has written.

Holiday Craft and Vendor Fair coming up Continued from page 34

The Holiday Craft and Vendor Fair at Goulbourn Middle School is being held on Saturday, Dec. 3, running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. And one of the vendors at this Fair at Goulbourn Middle School will be none other than student Elizabeth Tackabury, selling copies of her book “The Test” for $20 each. She’ll even sign the book although the signature will cost an additional two dollars. But all of the funds raised will be going towards a fundraising initiative that will see Elizabeth, her mother Jennifer and her older sister travel to Nicaragua in July 2017 to help build a classroom at a school under the auspices of SchoolBOX, an Almonte-based organization that supports education in Nicaragua. Elizabeth and her mother travelled to Nicaragua last spring to help build a classroom. It was an amazing experience, Elizabeth says, noting how the people in Nicaragua are so grateful for this help. This trip was so inspiring that they now want to return this coming July, only this time they are trying to raise $22,000 in order to completely fund the building of a classroom. The sale of Elizabeth’s books at the upcoming Fair is one part of this fundraising. Elizabeth wrote the book “The Test” quite a while ago, saying that it took over a year to write. While she has written some short stories, this was the first book that she has completed.

Her father wanted to see her share the book with others while her mother thought that she could sell the book at the upcoming Fair to raise funds for their Nicaraguan trip next summer. So, the book has been self-published and now 50 copies will be available for sale at the upcoming Fair at her school. Elizabeth admits that she loves to write and indeed spends much of her free time

writing. She also does a lot of reading, loving the Harry Potter books, for example. She would like to write and publish stories when she is older, so she figures that there is no better time to start doing so than now. SchoolBOX, the organization with whom she is going to Nicaragua in July, was founded in 2006 by Tom Affleck to

provide school facilities and materials to children in Nicaragua. As of Sept. 15 this year, SchoolBOX has helped build 80 classrooms in Nicaragua, has renovated two classrooms, has built 49 washrooms, has constructed five playing fields, has delivered 113,498 education packages to students and teachers, has created 38 mini-libraries and has involved 586 international volunteers.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I am in a serious, committed relationship and have been living with my partner for 5 years now. I am uncertain if we will ever marry because neither one of us really believe it’s something that we want. Friends of ours were asking us if we had ever thought about a cohabitation agreement given our living situation. We had never heard of such an agreement, what is it all about? Many couples today choose to live together in long-term and committed relationships without marrying. What some couples do not understand is that the law treats married and unmarried, or common-law, spouses very differently. It is important to understand these differences and how they will affect a person’s rights to property, support payments or a partner’s estate. Some key things to remember: in Ontario, property is not automatically divided between unmarried couples if a relationship ends; unmarried spouses may have a spousal support obligation, but only if they have a child together or if they have been living together for at least three years; and only married spouses automatically have a right to share in a spouse’s estate if that spouse dies without a will, no matter how long a couple has been in a relationship or whether they have children together. In order to protect yourself and your partner, unmarried couples are permitted to negotiate a contract–a cohabitation agreement–that lets them agree on certain rights and obligations in the relationship. A cohabitation agreement gives couples a great opportunity to carefully

consider each other’s financial situation now and in the future, and decide together how they wish to share property, pay (or not pay) support to a partner in the event of a break-up, and what happens to the estate upon the death of a partner. It is important to plan ahead, be aware of your rights, and know what will happen if a relationship ends by choice or in the event of a death. The good news is that it’s never too late to draft a cohabitation agreement, whether you are considering moving in together, or whether you have been living together for a short or long period already. Many couples worry that having a conversation about a cohabitation agreement will be difficult and distasteful, but having these discussions now can lead to thoughtful and caring discussions about the future. It is also important to remember that in order to have legal effect, these agreements need to have clear terms that are understood by, and achieve the intentions of, each person. This is why it is critical to have a qualified family lawyer assist in the preparation of a cohabitation agreement.

‘The Car-O-Practor’ is now 30 BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

“The Car-O-Practor” in Richmond is now 30 years old. It was in 1986 that partners Brian Ayotte and Dan Prezeau teamed up to open a collision and body repair business in Richmond, later on adding complete mechanical maintenance to the services offered. Today it’s about half and half – 50 percent collision work and 50 percent mechanical work. And as for the name, it happened quite by chance as partner Dan Prezeau was driving by a chiropractic office on Perth Street in Richmond when he suddenly thought that “Car-O-Practor” would be a good name for the new business. Brian Ayotte and Dan Prezeau had first met when working at Gary Hunt’s Richmond Auto Body business on McBean Street. Brian then left to go on his own but he and Dan remained in contact and when Gary Hunt’s business closed down, Brian and Dan joined up with Andy Trottier with whom they had worked previously and the trio opened their new business on McBean Street in July 1986. While Andy left the business within a year, Brian and Dan stayed with it, working long hours with little income as they slowly grew the business. It remained on McBean Street until the spring of 1993 when it moved into new premises on Ottawa Street. In 1995, another 9000 square feet with five service bays was added to the initial four service bays. This was when The Car-O-Practor moved into doing mechanical repair work as well as collision and body repair work. The business was growing and expanding at the time.

Indeed, at one time, The Car-O-Practor had up to a dozen employees, a number that has now been reduced to six. The business has been built on customer service and by standing behind the work done. And over the years, the partnership of Dan and Brian has continued, now reaching 30 years. “It’s just like a marriage,” Dan says, noting that a key to the relationship has been to accept the other person’s differences. Dan also acknowledges that both he and Brian are easy going guys. But the partnership has also worked over the years because they both had their own roles to play in the business. Until five years ago when he moved into a front office at the shop, Dan was always back in the service bays, supervising the work being done. Brian, for his part, has different strengths and over the years has handled the business’ paperwork and customer relations. Over the past 30 years, there have been changes, not only in adding automotive maintenance work to the business but also in dealing with the changing world of automotive repair and collision work. Thirty years ago, an auto body shop like Car-O-Practor relied on a number of manuals outlining prices and materials. Nowadays, there are no more of these manuals. All parts and labour costs are on a computer program. Similarly, Car-O-Practor is online with many insurance companies so that work estimates and photographs can be provided online to the insurance company. There are no more on-site visits by an insurance appraiser in most cases. “Mr. Google knows everything” is how Dan puts it. Another change on the collision repair side of the business is that vehicles are now built with aluminum parts which are more expensive to replace and repair. Not only has the collision repair part of the business changed but so too has the vehicle maintenance part changed. Cars now have computers in them and trouble shooting a problem now consists of hooking up

Even equipment like wheel alignment machinery has changed as such equipment now uses infrared technology to provide more accurate measurements and results. In addition, there are emission concerns to deal with today as well as something that is going to impact car maintenance down the road, namely electric vehicles. Such electric vehicles will require no oil changes and there will be no spark plugs. The only maintenance work needed will involve suspension, brakes and tires. It was 21 years ago now that Car-O-Practor became involved with NAPA AutoPro, a nationally recognized brand covering locally owned automotive repair shops. There’s a code of ethics which all NAPA branded shops must follow. NAPA also provides advertising and technician training support, providing certifications that are so necessary in today‘s world of automotive repair work. The Car-O-Practor also prides itself

in keeping its building and premises and grounds on Ottawa Street tidy and good looking. This helps attract attention and draw in business to the Ottawa Street location. The Car-O-Practor provides virtually all auto mechanical services and body repair/ collision services. Mechanical services include tires, brakes, exhaust, fuel injection, wheel alignment, steering and suspension, air conditioning, heating, safety inspections, fluid flushing and auto cleaning. About the only services not provided are emissions testing and tinting windows. Body and collision services include sand and plastic media blasting, insurance-approved collision repairs, body and rust repair, car detailing and cleaning, automotive accessories and Durashield oil spray undercoating. Initially Car-O-Practor had red as its corporate colour. However, with the NAPA AutoPro affiliation, the NAPA colours of blue and yellow were adopted by Car-O-Practor. See NEED FOR, page 38

As viewers of this year’s Richmond Fair parade saw given The Car-O-Practor’s lengthy lineup of vehicles in the parade, The Car-OPractor has a fleet of vehicles bearing these blue and yellow colours. The cars in this fleet are used by The Car-O-Practor to rent to customers at $15 a day for use while the customer’s vehicle is undergoing service. Brian and Dan realize that a vehicle is essential for many in their daily lives and so rental vehicles are a necessity. In addition, these rental vehicles are covered with a lot of Car-O-Practor messages, making them travelling advertising billboards for the business.

Brian Ayotte also notes that with the sophistication involved with the operation of new cars today, those who service them must also evolve and become better trained with more certifications. He says that auto repair work has now become “more of a high end profession” than it was several decades ago when a person could repair vehicles in a backyard garage. Now, though, there is a need for diagnostic equip-

ment worth thousands of dollars in order to service vehicles. There is also a need for continual education and training of technicians to keep up with the constant and ongoing changes in today’s automobiles. Brian also notes that the training extends to management as well. This is especially true for business owners like himself and Dan who come from what he terms a “wrenching background,” that is, from working in the industry. Brian now takes management courses to enhance his management skills in running the business. He says that the car repair and collision repair business is “evolving all the time.” Vehicle systems are constantly changing and training is essential to stay abreast of these changes. The Car-O-Practor draws its customers not only from Richmond but also from the surrounding area including North Gower, Stittsville, Kanata and Barrhaven. The Car-O-Practor is located at 5949 Ottawa Street just west of Eagleson Road in Richmond. The phone number is 613-8382184.

‘Cookies Plus Sale’ happening at St. Andrew’s on Nov. 26th BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Don’t be surprised if you see Cookie Monster in Richmond this Saturday, Nov. 26. That’s because St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street is holding a “Cookies Plus Sale” that day from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. And, as we all know, Cookie Monster, as his name implies, loves eating cookies, so he just might show up for this “Cookies Plus Sale.” Cookie Monster, of course, is a muppet on the long running children’s TV show Sesame Street.

But even if Cookie Monster himself does not appear, there are plenty of others who will be attending this “Cookies Plus Sale” not only for the cookies available but also for the “plus” goodies such as buns, loaves, squares, fudge and more. Something new this year will be “We Are Canadian” inspired crafts by Sarah and Jane to celebrate Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday. These “We Are Canadian” crafts will make great stocking stuffers. St. Andrew’s Presbyerian Church is located at 3529 McBean Street in Richmond. Everyone is welcome to visit this “Cookies Plus Sale.”

d. St

The annual Santa Claus Parade in Richmond 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 in Richmond 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 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. But arriving at the Richmond arena is 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.

Upgrading sewer forcemain serving Richmond BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The sewer forcemain serving Richmond is being upgraded. Robert Excavating has been hired by the city of Ottawa to do the work which is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 2017. This project involves repairs and modifications to the existing 500

mm diameter forcemain, the installation of a new bypass 300 mm diameter forcemain to facilitate the repairs, the installation of a new section of 600 mm diameter forcemain for proposed future development in Richmond and the decommissioning of an abandoned forcemain in the immediate vicinity of the Richmond sewage pump station. The work involves spot repairs

and modifications to the transition couplings, valves and valve accessories at various structures along the existing forcemain between the pumping station and lagoon Cell ‘C’ as well as on Eagleson Road between the Jock River and Robertson Road. An abandoned forcemain which runs from the pumping station along King Street to Chanonhouse

Drive and then on to the lagoon site will be decommissioned as part of the project. Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt has confirmed in email correspondence with Richmond resident Doug Arnold that there will be no blasting undertaken as part of this project. The original forcemain was built in the early 1980’s.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

An Open Table community dinner will be held on Saturday, Dec. 17 at St. John’s Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. Meal served at 5 p.m. Everyone is most welcome to attend this community dinner. There is no cost although donations are always welcome.

Joe Lewis, Ray McCaffrey and Albert Black are three people prominent in the pages of Stittsville’s history. And now it has been proposed to name city of Ottawa parks in the community after each of them. The city of Ottawa’s Commemorative Naming Committee is now conducting online public consultations about naming parks in the community after Joe Lewis, Ray McCaffrey and Albert Black. In addition, the Commemorative Naming Committee is seeking input on changing the name of the Bell Memorial Park in Stittsville to the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. The deadline for submitted online comments about these proposals is Dec. 18, 2016. The proposed Joe Lewis Park would be located in the new Potter’s Key subdivision north of Hazeldean Road and west of the existing Jackson Trails subdivision. It is proposed to honour Joe Lewis in this way in recognition of his historical significance in Stittsville in the early part of the 20th century. Moving to Stittsville in 1906, Joe Lewis eventually opened his own grocery, flour and feed business on Stittsville Main Street. In 1911, he purchased another store on Stittsville Main Street which sold a variety of goods from footwear to hats to shingles and coal. He established the first hand-pumped gasoline service in Stittsville and created the community’s first “taxi” service in the area by offering horse and buggy transportation for train passengers. The proposed Ray McCaffrey Park would be located in at 170 Hickstead Way in the new residential development on the east side of Stittsville Main Street and south of Hartsmere Drive at the south edge of Stittsville. Ray McCaffrey was a long time businessman in Stittsville, involved with the McCaffrey automobile garage and General Motors dealership which had been started by his father George McCaffrey. He also served as the fire chief in the community from 1959 to 1967. Ray was active in the community and was involved in helping to build the former Stittsville District Community Centre (arena) which is now called the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. The proposed Albert Argue Black Park would be located at 735 Rosehill Avenue in the Kanata West area of Stittsville. The original Black family home on what is now Huntmar Drive was settled in the early 1800’s. Albert “Ab” Black coached baseball and hockey in the community, served on the committee to build the Stittsville District Community Centre (now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena) and served as president of the Stittsville Town Hockey League. In addition, he was elected as a councillor on Stittsville’s inaugural village council when Stittsville became an incorporated municipality in 1961. He then became reeve of Stittsville when the first reeve Silas C. Bradley retired. He remained as reeve until the village of Stittsville was amalgamated with the village of Richmond and rural Goulbourn township in 1974 to form the new township of Goulbourn which in 2001 became part of the current city of Ottawa. Ab served on the boards of the Carleton Place Hospital as well as the Carleton Apartments in Stittsville. It is also being proposed that Bell Memorial Park which is flanked by Stittsville Main Street, Fernbank Road and Cherry Drive in Stittsville be renamed as “W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park.” This land was donated for park use by W.J. Bell, a Stittsville businessman and developer. While not a Rotarian himself, his daughter-in-law Grace Bell is a charter member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville which has developed a Peace Park with a labyrinth at the park. It is the Bell family and the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville which has proposed the park’s name change in order to reflect the objectives of encouraging and fostering peace. The proposed name “W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park” reflects the aims of the Peace Park while continuing to commemorate W.J. Bell and his contributions to the community.

46 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 24, 2016

The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) re-elected a number of its officers and directors at its annual general meeting on Nov. 17. Tanya Hein was re-elected as president for another two year term as was Glen Gower who will continue as SVA vice-president. Phil Sweetnam, who served as SVA president before Tanya Hein, will assume the role of past president. Re-elected as directors since their present term of office had ended were David Fairbrother, Luke Therrien, Nancy Therrien, Marion Gullock, Murilo Torres and Sarah Rozema-Seaton. Others who are continuing as directors on the SVA board include Barry Gray, Doug Sutherland, Erika Adams, Jeff Gallant, Sue Bird, Trevor Eggleton and Trudy Smith. Jennifer de Sa is continuing as the SVA treasurer.

In her presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report presented at the annual general meeting, SVA president Tanya Hein noted that weather had impact two SVA signature events in 2016, the Canada Day celebrations and the Art in the Park event. However, the SVA was able to stage successful make-up events, with a fireworks display at the end of August and a re-scheduled Art in the Park event in August. President Hein noted that the SVA had been pro-active in promoting the healthy development of Stittsville in the past year, continuing to monitor development applications and commenting on any areas of concern. She acknowledged in her remarks that attracting and retaining more volunteers for the SVA continues to be a challenge. She noted, though, that the SVA had inaugurated a new SVA Volunteer Award which recognizes a community member whose volunteer efforts have made an impact on the Stittsville community.

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Memories The winter Eaton’s catalogue had arrived. The mailman left it in our mailbox. It was fat and shiny with a woman wearing a bright red coat on the cover. It was sitting on the kitchen table when I got home from school. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up and the red and white checked oilcloth wiped clean. My sister Audrey knew what was ahead and though she wasn’t nearly excited as I was, she too, would be pouring over each page, from the fashions in the front, to the corsets, the Christmas decorations and candy and the tools and farm items at the back. The old catalogue, dog-eared, with pages torn out where necessary, would be moved to the outhouse after Father had punched a hole in the upper corner to feed through a piece of strong binder twine to hang it from the spike inside the door. Mother would look through the new catalogue when she had time, and order the usual long underwear and a pair of navy blue fleece lined bloomers for me. We had little hope of getting anything else from Eaton’s catalogue. Until that night. As soon as Audrey and I sat on the long

Connected to your community

Coins had a ‘Come easy, go easy’ fate bench behind the kitchen table, and the book was in front of us, I turned right towards the back and the pails upon pails of Christmas candy. This was one of my favourite sections and I could almost taste the striped hard candy and the chocolates that had been strewed over the entire page, looking like they had been accidentally spilled from the cans holding them. “Enough of that page,” Audrey said. She was ready to move on. I shoved the book over to Mother sitting at the end of the table working on her diaries. “If I took all the pennies out of the corner of my hanky, do you think we could take some out of the egg-money to add to them and maybe buy one of those little pails of candy?” I figured it was worth a try. Mother looked at the page, ran the tips of her fingers over the candy pictures and in the lowest of voices said, “I don’t see why not.” Well!! Father shook his head, my three brothers, let war hoops out of them that could be heard in Arnprior, Audrey was pouring over the page to see what pail to pick and I thought I was going to cry! It seemed like only a few days before the candy arrived on a Saturday, C.O.D., Mother paying the mailman with a handful of coins

and the fight was on to see who would open the parcel. Mother settled that by opening it herself. And there it was, a shiny pail of Christmas candy and the holiday weeks away! The excitement wasn’t to end there. Just before we were to head upstairs to bed, Mother said she could see nothing wrong with opening the pail and giving each of us just one to taste! I picked a green and white striped one and Audrey looked for and found a cinnamon one, with the brothers, so anxious to get a taste, just grabbed one off the top and popped it into their mouths. Well, having a piece of the Christmas candy every night before we went to bed became a ritual and it wasn’t long until we could see the bottom of the pail. We knew there wasn’t a hope of getting another order of candy from Eaton’s catalogue. And then the pail was empty. All that remained was a dusting of sugar in the bottom, which Emerson scooped up by licking the end of his finger and running it around the inside bottom of the pail. Audrey said the pail would be good for picking raspberries the next summer. We were all sitting around the kitchen table as usual when the last candy was eaten with Christmas more than a month away. Mother was at her diaries and was no doubt thinking about the coins taken out of the egg money in the blue sugar bowl to pay for the candy. The pail sat empty in the middle of the table. Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal, but we all heard him say, “Come easy, go easy.” We knew he wasn’t talking about the candy, but the coins taken out of the egg money to pay for it.

Eco-friendly car wash will save water Continued from page 50

Radio station CHEZ 106.1 was on hand, doing a remote broadcast. And there were special guests in attendance for the grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, Nov. 18, with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre both on hand. Councillor Qadri presented this new Corner Store and Ultramar Service Station with a plaque to commemorate the opening. The opening ceremony also featured the presentation of a $5,000 donation to Main Street Community Services of Stittsville by CST Brands, Inc., the company which operates Corner Store outlets and sells fuel under the Ultramar brand. This new 3,500 square foot Corner Store was decorated with balloons of assorted colours for the grand opening. The Corner Store offers a wide variety of refreshment beverages as well as snack foods like potato chips. Freshlymade pizza slices are available every day. The Corner Store also offers products as diverse as bananas, oranges and apples on the one hand to gloves and snow scrapers on the other. The Corner Store offers a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, grocery items, ready-to-go lunches and its Transit Café products. The store also has a TD ATM on the premises. The Transit Café section of the Corner Store offers everything that you would want for a refreshing coffee or snack. This new Corner Store on Hazeldean Road has resulted in ten new jobs, both full time and part-time. Besides the spacious gas pumps of the Ultramar Service Station, there is also a new eco-friendly car wash on the site. This car wash features a revolutionary system that recycles about 200 litres of water from each wash which should end up saving more than five million litres of water each year.

CST Brands, Inc. is one of the largest independent retailers of motor fuels and convenience merchandise in North America with over 2000 locations throughout the United States and Eastern Canada. In Canada, CST distributes fuel under a number of brand names including Ultramar. Its Corner Store outlets sell signature Transit Café coffee, pastries and other freshly-made food items including sandwiches.

$5,000 donation at grand opening to Main Street Community Services BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Your buying choices matter to your community and your future. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year! We are planning for the holidays; time with family and friends, getting into the spirit of giving and making more purchases than we would during the entire rest of the year combined! So it seems a good time to revisit the idea of keeping it local. Online marketing and buying has revolutionized our consumer habits. It has created many favourable opportunities for the market place and the global economy. We view it as convenient and efficient and many believe they are getting better deals. It is not reasonable to expect our communities to be completely self-sustained. However, there are advantages to keeping the balance between shopping locally and online. Advantages that have a real economic, environmental and cultural impact on us. I have always been a huge proponent of shopping locally. I come from a small community so it was easy to see the changes in the economic landscape and gauge how decision making by government and the community could make an impact. It is very much the same in a larger community like Ottawa. I had a friend who owned a shoe store and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy shoes outside that store for the 9 years she owned it. Why would I not support the business of someone who was my friend, my neighbour and a community supporter? Why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any of us? Many studies have shown that money spent locally means more money in the community circulated at a greater velocity which is what keeps the local economy thriving. In addition, local business people are more likely to support community causes and at a higher level. So you can thank them for our local sports teams, greater access to health care, education and the arts. All in our own backyard. Our commitment to local businesses also spurs new businesses which means more access to a variety of products and better services at our fingertips. We can access unique, high quality products often at the same or better price. And we receive more value in the form of personal customer service, advice and referrals to other things we are seeking. I love interacting with the people who are helping me with my purchase. I often have fun and thoughtful conversations that add meaning to my day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that we will never buy online. The key is keeping our choices alive tomorrow by balancing our buying decisions today. The West Ottawa Board of Trade actively promotes the businesses that support our community work through membership. One program that really keeps it local is our Member to Member Program. Many member businesses have special offerings or discounts that fellow member businesses and their employees can access. What better time to check it out than during the holiday season? On behalf of our board, staff and volunteers, we wish you a prosperous and healthy holiday season in this wonderful community.

Cheers to your success! Sueling Ching Executive Director www.westottawabot.com 54 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 24, 2016

It was his last game coaching a Sacred Heart Catholic High School basketball team and although it did not end in victory, it ended the way that teacher/coach Glenn Carr wanted. Going into the game, his Huskies team knew that it was coach Carr’s last game as he is retiring as a teacher at the end of this school year. And all that he told his team going into the championship game was that he wanted to see a battle on the court and this is what his team did. The Huskies battled the whole way against the strong undefeated Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School Ravens team which had defeated the Huskies 65-48 earlier in regular season play, the Huskies only loss in the regular season. Playing at the Ravens home court in South Nepean, the Huskies fell behind early in this National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association junior girls (tier 1) basketball championship game and never recovered. The Huskies were down 14-1 after four minutes of play and trailed by a 21-6 score at the end of the first quarter. This 15 point lead by the Ravens remained at the end of the first half, with the Ravens leading the Huskies 37-22. See LAST GAME, page 67

Leonard Cohen songs heard at Richmond open mic evening couple of versions of a story about a Leonard Cohen songbook that seemed to travel at one time between open mic organizer Andrew McKim, then a teen, and his musical father. It was Andrew McKim himself, in his opening performance at the open mic evening as has become the tradition, who first mentioned the passing of music legend Leonard Cohen, following it up with his version of “Famous Blue Raincoat,” a Leoanrd Cohen tune first released on a 1971 album. This was also when Andrew made the first mention of a Leon-

ard Cohen songbook which he said that as a 15 year old with his first guitar he took from his father. He also mentioned how he had seen Leonard Cohen perform in Ottawa when Cohen was in his late 70’s or so. This Leonard Cohen songbook kept cropping up during the open mic evening. When Andrew’s father Bill McKim performed, he said that he had given the songbook to Andrew. And yet later in the evening, Andrew again returned to the topic of this Leonard Cohen songbook as did his father. Whether it was taken or given between father

and teenage son may never be concretely known but it would appear that both of them eventually ended With the recent passing of legup with a Leonard Cohen songendary Canadian singer and songbook. writer Leonard Cohen, it was only After Andrew McKim and his to be expected that his name and musical partner Scott Andrews permusic would come up at the Nov. formed a couple of opening songs 18 open mic music evening in Richat this open mic music evening, Anmond. drew’s father Bill McKim took over And indeed those at the open the performance microphone, startmic evening in the upstairs lounge ing off with a cute Austrlian song at the Richmond Curling Club not about the cost of taking a budgie only heard a couple of his songs to a veterinarian, singing while but also heard reminiscences about also playing the guitar and the harCohen’s Ottawa performance sevmonica. He then switched to the eral years ago and even heard a banjo for a song by American folk/ country singer John Prine about a mailman collecting small stones which he then tossed at his television screen at appropriate times. Bill expressed the wish that he had such stones to toss at the TV during the recent American election campaign and in the song he went on to include a verse about American president-elect Donald Trump. Bill sang a song about the French Resistance in wartime which Leonard Cohen sang at one time, although he did not write it. Bill finished up his performance JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Performing at the open mic music evening in Richmond on Nov. 18 are members of the band “The Think at this open mic music evening with Tones” (from left) Brant Maahs, Gustavo Frederico, drummer Yvon Lavoie (background), Luke Quesnel and a fun song based on Dr. Seuss poetry which included waltzing with Bryon Fevens.

bears and dancing with pandas. Jon Davey, who has been performing for several decades, both singing and playing a guitar, sang several songs, one an original and the others familiar ones such as “The Weight,” a 1968 song by the Canadian-American group The Band. Ed Taylor of Munster was up next, with his guitar, singing a number of original songs based on his meetings with people and experiences in the area. So he sang about a loon and a lake and about a Lanark farmer with Clydesdales. He also sang what he termed a depressing song about a deteriorated home situation, a song which he likened to Leonard Cohen’s similar depressing songs. He did tell how he did see Leonard Cohen perform when he appeared in Ottawa several years ago. Ed did finish up his open mic performance with a lighter, more upbeat tune. The now-five member rock band “The Think Tones” performed at this open mic session. This was the first time that guitarist Gustavo Frederico performed with the group. See OPEN MIC MUSIC, page 65

Open mic music Continued from page 64

Other members of “The Think Tones” band which has performed at previous open mic nights include Luke Quesnel on vocals and guitar; Brant Maahs on vocals and guitar, Bryon Fevens on guitar and Yvon Lavoie on drums. As is the practice at these open mic music evenings, performers sign up when they arrive and that becomes the order of performance. After everyone has had a chance to perform, there is an opportunity for performers to play again if the three hour time of the evening has not run out. And on Nov. 18, there was time left over, so performers got to do more performing if they wished. This is when Ed Taylor performed the 1968 Leonard Cohen song “Everybody Knows.” These open mic music evenings in Richmond are resuming again for the third year. Future open mic music evenings, held in the upstairs lounge at the Richmond Curling Club, will happen on Dec. 16, Jan. 20, Feb. 17 and March 17. Attendance at these open mic music evenings, either to perform or just to sit and enjoy, is free. However, those attending are urged to contribute a nonperishable food item for the Richmond JOHN CURRY/METROLAND JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Food Bank if possible. These open mic music evenings begin Ed Taylor accompanies himself on the guitar as he sings at the open mic Jon Davey performs at the open mic music evening in Richmond on Nov. 18. at 8 p.m. and run through until 11 p.m. music evening in Richmond on Nov. 18.

Last game for Huskies coach Glenn Carr Continued from page 56

It was 50-31 for the Ravens at the end of the third period with the game ending up 63-44 in favour of the Ravens. In the post game ceremony, the Huskies received the silver medals, marking a most successful season in which the team had a regular season record of nine wins and only one loss and then had a 45-38 victory over the John McCrae Secondary School Bulldogs in semi-final playoff action. And the championship game ended with the Huskies players all cheering for teammate Osa Atoe who was playing her first season of basketball and was on the court in the dying minutes where the ball seemed to follow her around and she had several touches which could have led to a basket, although they did not. Osa had seen court time in the team’s other games this season but she had never been so involved in the action as during the final moments of this championship game. Had she scored a basket, the team would have gone wild with excitement, coach Carr suggests. As it was, it was a most memorable experience for Osa and the silver medal that later hung around her neck was the first athletic medal that she has ever won. Coach Carr, who has coached Sacred Heart basketball teams over the years including championship teams, was proud of the way that his team played in this championship game, praising their defensive play. He noted, though, that whereas the team had sunk seven three-pointers in the semi-final playoff victory against John McCrae Secondary School, there had been only one successful three-pointer for the Huskies in this championship game. He also noted that the Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School Ravens played this championship game on their familiar home court. Members of this silver medal winning Sacred Heart

Huskies junior girls basketball team were Avery Platana, Maddie Sachs, Emma Gervais, Osa Atoe, Lauren Cheslock, Maddie Graham, Julia Valko, Selena Close, Tia Cristiano and Marlo Steenbakkers. It was Marlo who had led the Huskies scoring in this championship game, finishing with 15 points. In the regular season, the Sacred Heart Huskies finished second in the ten-team junior girls (tier 1) high school basketball league with a record of nine wins and only one loss. In this ten game regular season, the Sacred Heart Huskies scored 480 points while allowing only 390 points against.
