In the past those attending were asked to bring a donata-
tion to the Stittsville Food bank, however this year it is a fundraiser for the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation’s Hopes Rising Campaign for Mental Health.

A public meeting and open house revolving around a proposed subdivision that would see more residential development in the ever-growing community of Stittsville that could eventually involve about 1,100 housing units will now be the focus of an open house and public meeting early in the new year. The meeting, which was originally planned for Nov. 30 has now been postponed and rescheduled for Jan. 10, 2018. The focus and location of the meeting remains the same. When the meeting is now held on Jan. 10, it will start with an open house at 6:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Com-
plex in Hall A at 1500 Shea Rd. on that date, with a presentation about the project to start at 7 p.m. According to plans released by the city, “the Plan of Subdivision proposes the development of approximately 1120 detached, townhouse, stacked townhouse, and low-rise apartment residential units. “The subdivision also includes blocks for commercial development to accommodate a range of small scale retail, restaurant, and service commercial uses and automobile dealerships. A secondary school (OCDSB) and parks, including the Kanata West District Park, are also proposed,” the city’s description of the proposal states. The proposed plan of subdivision by Shenkman/Cavanagh

Public meeting will examine LRT route for Kanata-Stittsville Continued from page 1
The preferred option is the most direct route to the Canadian Tire Centre, just north of Highway 417 to Palladium Drive. And now city staff have also included extending the line down Maple Grove Road to Hazeldean Road bringing it even closer to Stittsville’s residents. While Qadri said the extension is still years away in the future, that is “great” news for Stittsville residents. “Anything can change, it’s still 1015 years out, but this plan is better for Stittsville,” Qadri told the Stittsville News. GOOD FOR STITTSVILLE
The inclusion of an extension to-
ward the commercial area on Hazeldean Road is thanks to the many Stittsville residents who submitted comments Qadri said. “Even though this will not take place for some time, this is great news as Stittsville residents made their voices heard,” he said. “Many comments were received and it was in part thanks to this public input that made this all possible.” Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said there are plans for a park-and-ride on the Stittsville side of Hazeldean Rd., adding the land has been designated for that use. She wasn’t sure if the city currently owned the land or still had to purchase it. Although the LRT line wouldn’t extend to the Kanata North Business Park, Wilkinson said she’s pushing for
a rail spur similar to the one that runs to the airport in Riverside South. “I’m looking at an offshoot,” she said, adding the spur could service the Department of National Defence’s location in Bells Corners, and then travel up Carling Avenue and through the business park. To run a full-service LRT line to the business park would be too expensive a project to undertake. It would require more structures and would take the rail along Terry Fox Drive, further from where residents live, said Wilkinson. “They simply can’t make it work,” she said, adding she held a pre-meeting with some businesses to discuss LRT. PUBLIC MEETING
City of Ottawa
Possible LRT route in west end now would end at Hazeldean Rd. Residents will have the chance to look over staff recommendations and submit feedback and comments at the public meeting. City staff will be discussing the design details, station locations, concept designs and the requirement for a maintenance and storage facility. The public meeting will be held on
the Christmas and th
Thursday, Dec. 7, at the Kanata Recreation Complex, 100 Charlie Rogers Place, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. For details, visit ottawa.ca/KanataLRT. Barring any major issues at the public meeting Qadri is hopeful the latest plan is a keeper. “This is what city staff will recommend to council,” he said.

As many of you may have heard earlier this week, Postmedia acquired a number of Metroland newspapers and subsequently announced that they would be shut down. This included the Stittsville News. I think I can speak for every resident in the Goulbourn area when I say that this is devastating news for our communities.

Members of the new 2018 executive of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) who were in attendance at the SVA annual general meeting on Nov. 23 are (front row, seated, from left) Marion Gullock, Nancy Therrien, Jeff Gallant, Sue Bird and Trevor Eggleton; and (back row, standing from left) Luke Therrien, Murilo Torres, Adrienne Charlton, Tanya Hein, Barry Gray and Doug Sutherland. Other directors missing include David Fairbrother, Sarah Rozema-Seaton, Wesley Smith and Roger Morris.
Annual general meeting for SVA SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Stittsville Village Association has three new directors on its executive committee. Elected at the Nov. 30 annual general meeting were Adrienne Charlton, Roger Morris and (subject to confirmation) Wesley Smith. Among those re-elected as directors as their terms had expired were Sue Bird, Barry Gray, Doug Sutherland, Jeff Gallant and Trevor Eggleton. Others completing their two-year terms as directors include Luke Therrien, Nancy Therrien, David Fairbrother, Sarah Rozema-Seaton and Marion Gullock. Tanya Hein is continuing as Stittsville Village Association (SVA) president while Phil Sweetnam remains as immediate past president. Jennifer de Sa has stepped down as the SVA treasurer. No one has filled this position as yet. Director Sue Bird is continuing as the SVA secretary. In other business at the annual general meeting, the SVA decided to move the day of its monthly meetings from Thursday
to Wednesday to better accommodate the schedules of directors. A number of amendments to the SVA constitution were also approved at the annual general meeting. The immediate past president was made a voting ex officio member of the executive committee. The requirement to stagger the terms of officers of the executive committee was removed, with such positions to be filled as needed rather than on any predetermined formula. The duties of the SVA secretary were altered so that the secretary looks after SVA correspondence “as requested” rather than all correspondence as was the previous requirement. The provision relating to the number of SVA directors as “up to eight” was removed, allowing the SVA to determine the appropriate number of directors at each annual general meeting. In her president’s report, SVA president Tanya Hein noted that there had been a lot of challenges during the past year with development continuing in the community. She noted that some developments had happened in the community during the year which were projects that had received approval years ago. The recent closing of a portion of Johnwoods Street is an example of this.
She said that this meant that the communities directly impacted by such previous decisions were not consulted since the decisions were made before these communities even existed. She said that consultation on development and other decisions in the community need to be kept relevant to the current residents of the area. The SVA rebranded itself in the past year, with a new logo, a modernized website, a new email newsletter and more social media presence. President Hein further noted that the SVA had been involved in the recent unsuccessful initiative to launch a business improvement area in Stittsville. A new voluntary Stittsville Business Association has been formed and the SVA will work with this group as it determines its role in the community. The past year also saw the SVA continue with its involvement with a walking program in the community. SVA events in the past year included the Parade of Lights, Art in the Park, Canada Day and the new Cinema Under The Stars event that raised over $500 for the Stittsville Food Bank while providing a fun experience for those involved.

John Curry first acquired the Stittsville News in 1965 and has spent the last five decades pouring his heart and soul into those pages and our communities. Alongside his long-time partner in crime John Brummell, he brought our communities together and became a real ambassador for everything that is great about Goulbourn. The two John’s were everywhere from bake sales and school graduations to municipal elections and community events. They were mainstays at the Richmond Fair each and every year. A parade wouldn’t be a Richmond parade without John Curry stationed at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street photographing each and every float. Their contributions to our community are immeasurable. Between the two John’s, they have been writing Goulbourn’s biography for over fifty years. Unfortunately, we are forced to move on. I have been fortunate to have this column included in the weekly Stittsville News for nearly seven years. That, too, comes to an end. I would like to thank Metroland’s Mike Stoodley for being my go to guy on submitting these columns each and every week. We also write a monthly column in the Kemptville Advance and the Carleton Place Gazette. Mike assists with those as well. The loss of the Stittsville News will also make it more difficult for me to connect with you. As a result, I would encourage you to visit our website at rideaugoulbourn.ca and sign up for our monthly e-Newsletter. With so many changes to local newspapers, we may need to consider changing that to a bi-weekly e-Newsletter.

Dancer ready to shine in Nutcracker production BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Brian Dryden/Metroland
Dancer Callia McIntyre, 11, is getting ready to perform in Ballet Jorgen’s production of The Nutcracker Dec. 13-14.
As birthday gifts go, it was a pretty special surprise. On the very day that Callia McIntyre turned 11 years old, she found out that she had made the cut as an amateur student dancer for the professional Ballet Jorgen’s production of The Nutcracker through the company’s Nutcracker Youth Education Program. “I was very happy to make it,” Callia told the Stittsville News in an interview at the Creative Edge Dance Academy in Carp, where the Munster resident is a student and competitive dancer. It was a relief after going through two rounds of auditions to be selected as one of four squirrel characters in the holiday season classic. But not only did Callia want to be involved in the ballet and get to learn from the company’s professional dancers, there was also a bit of a friendly family competition involved as well. Callia’s sister Baylei had danced in the same production back when she was eight years old. Since being selected to take part in the shows that will be staged at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans on Dec. 13-14 (there will also be shows at
Centrepointe Theatre on Dec. 16 that she will not be involved with), Callia has been busy going to weekend rehearsals leading up to her big night on the big stage with professional ballerinas. “I knew there was probably going to be a lot of work to do and rehearsals, but it’s been fun,” Callia said of the experience. As well, there will be full dress rehearsals in the few days just prior to when the curtain rises on the production. Canada’s Ballet Jorgen Nutcracker Youth Education Program involves local dancers performing alongside the professionals, giving the young student dancers an opportunity to learn the ropes of professional ballet. This year’s production of the Nutcracker features the choreography of artistic director and founder Bengt Jorgen and has a distinctly Canadian setting of Algonquin Park – where Klara meets lumberjacks, Mounties and woodland creatures in her dream journey, and dancers perform against 20th Century landscape paintings by the Group of Seven and other Canadian artists. For a young dancer such as Callia, who has been in dancing programs since she was just two years old and has already participated in numerous dance competitions, it is an opportunity to further her education in the craft and have fun with her family watching at the same time. “I want to improve as a dancer and learn as much as I can,” she said. “It’s a really exciting opportunity.” Tickets are available online, by phone or in person at the box office at Centrepointe Theatre and Shenkman Arts Centre. Prices range from $31-$55 which
Scott and Albert Streets reconfiguration after removal of reserved bus lanes (Smirle Avenue to City Centre Avenue) Open House and Online Consultation Open House Monday December 11, 2017, 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tom Brown Arena - Hall • 141 Bayview Road Numerous OC Transpo bus routes along Transitway and O-Train Trillium Line – stop at Bayview Station Located along Cross-town Bikeway #2 and the Trillium Multi-use Pathway Free parking is available Online consultation December 8 to 18, 2017 Ottawa.ca/ScottStreet
The City of Ottawa has initiated a functional design study for the modification of cycling facilities and eastbound travel lanes on Scott and Albert Streets between Smirle Avenue and City Centre Avenue. These changes are being considered after the removal of the temporary busway along this corridor, which will not be required after the Confederation Line of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) is fully in service. This study examines the section between Smirle Avenue (near Tunney’s Pasture Station) and City Centre Avenue (near Bayview Station). Functional design drawings of the proposed road and pathway arrangement will be available online and at the Open House. Both the online consultation and the open house drop-in format provide residents with the opportunity to review the designs and provide comments and direct questions to City staff. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the contact below before the event. Tell Us What You Think You have the opportunity to review the functional design and fill out the feedback questionnaire at the open house on December 11, 2017 or online at ottawa.ca/ScottStreet from December 8 to 18, 2017. Next Steps The functional design will be refined based on comments received from the public. The detailed design will be carried out in the winter of 2018. Implementation is expected to begin after the LRT’s Confederation Line is operating and the reserved bus lanes are removed.

Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The previous Open House for this project was held in June 2017. At that time, the City presented the evaluation of alternative corridors and identified a preliminary preferred corridor. To date, the Study Team has finalized the recommended corridor and at this open house will present design details on the recommended plan, station locations and concept designs, and the requirement for a light maintenance and storage facility. The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. Information to date is available at ottawa.ca/KanataLRT. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Midgets stand tall with tourney win BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
A trip to Waterloo for a hockey tournament turned out to be a championship journey for the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Midgets AA
team. The team with players from Stittsville and other nearby communities captured the Waterloo Memorial tournament in the final game on Nov. 19 by defeating the host team 4-2. “The boys bought into the team play concept and their
commitment as a team brought home the trophy,” coach Todd Wetzel said. The team headed into the tourney as the top-ranked AA midget team in the province and had a 11-0-1 record in league play prior to the Waterloo event.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF A ZONING AMENDMENT
In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-law Amendment proposal affects land in commercial zones city-wide PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed amendment would create a new defined land use, “Storefront Industry,” and permit this use in the urban commercial zones AM, GM, MC, MD, TD and TM, and in the rural commercial zones RC and VM. Storefront Industry would permit small-scale light manufacturing and food processing in association with the on-site sale or service of these goods. Where permitted, Storefront Industry would: • by definition, include a retail or restaurant component, which may include an outdoor patio in the latter case; • be restricted to a certain maximum floor area (either 200 square metres or 350 square metres, depending on the zone) including storage; • not be permitted to have outdoor storage; and • be required not to cause nuisance due to noise, odour, dust, fumes, vibration, radiation or glare. Non-food-related Storefront Industry would, also by definition, exclude “mass-production (and) the use or production of flammable, explosive or other hazardous materials” which is considered heavy industry under the Zoning By-law. The proposal would modify existing zoning exceptions that currently allow for both light industrial uses and retail or restaurant uses, to provide that storefront industry is allowed on these sites. It would also provide a zoning exception for a nonconforming grain mill at 405 Donald B. Munro Drive in Carp, to permit the existing grain mill or allow it to become a storefront industry.

Dated at the City of Ottawa this 30th day of November, 2017.
The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of the new 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain on Greenbank Road between Jockvale Road and south side of the Jock River. This watermain is needed to meet water supply capacity and reliability requirements in the Nepean Town Centre and Barrhaven South development areas under future development conditions. This Class EA process determined that the preferred solution is to construct the watermain along the east side of the future Greenbank Road right-of-way, using a trenchless construction technique (horizontal directional drilling) at the Jock River crossing. It was determined that crossing the Jock River by open-cut methods would be problematic, due to geotechnical and environmental concerns. The design and construction of the full extent of the 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain will be coordinated with the Greenbank Road widening and realignment project. Since the road realignment project has been deferred a number of years, it has also been determined that the watermain project can also be deferred without risk to service levels as development proceeds in the Barrhaven South area. However, there is a need to plan for one or more phases of the watermain to be constructed in coordination with anticipated development north of the Jock River in advance of the road realignment project implementation. This study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class EA process. A Project File Summary Report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identification and evaluation of alternatives, selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Send shelter plan to the OMB
T
he majority of Ottawa’s city councillors voted to allow construction of a Salvation Army mega-shelter in Vanier last week. As it should, the mistake will be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. No one is willing to speak about how arms were twisted – or favours promised – to get 15 councillors and the mayor to approve the move. The final vote was 16-7. Coun. Diane Deans voted against the shelter’s construction, pointing out there no winners, only losers. She lamented that the people of Vanier and the Salvation Army now have a fractious relationship, even before the organization moves in. Sadly, the relationship between urban and suburban councillors is on the rocks too. The Salvation Army’s request to move from Lowertown to Vanier affects two wards directly and two more nearby wards indirectly. Yet the weight of suburban votes for the move tipped the scales. Coun. Jeff Leiper – who represents Kitchisippi Ward, inside the Greenbelt – pointed out that approval meant over-intensification, and that it runs counter to the city’s own Offica Plan. He was outvoted. While it may be cheaper to have one mega-shelter
than a number of small locations, the effect on Vanier is likely to be considerable. That cost was forgotten in the rush to stamp the planning documents. Small shelters can fit in with neighbourhoods instead of overwhelming them. Small shelters make for neighbours. Large ones provide a more-or-less faceless crowd. So on one day we get a 350-bed, menonly shelter approved. And then, just hours later, the federal government commits billions of dollars to reduce homelessness. Should the city have waited to hear the federal plan before voting to see a mega-shelter built? Of course. And one councillor even put forward such an idea – a 100-day pause – but even that was turned down. The OMB will also hear that the planning committee chair – Coun. Jan Harder – tossed out members of the public when they were meant to get five minutes to speak to planning committee members. If the councillors on that committee didn’t get the full picture from the public then public consultation never really happened. It helps make the case – no community deserves to be ignored, Vanier included, and that the OMB should reverse the decision to drop a mega-shelter there.
Climb aboard a streetcar named innovation
P
oliticians in major Canadian cities will be watching Toronto in the weeks to come. Specifically, they will be watching one Toronto street — King Street. King Street is a busy east-west thoroughfare. People use it to get downtown in their cars. It is a busy retail street and is home to dozens of condos, bars and restaurants. King Street is also home base for the 404, one of Toronto’s busiest streetcars. Toronto Transit Commission statistics show that streetcar carries 65,000 people a day. Cars carry 20,000 people. In what seems like an unprecedented step, the city government has decided to give the streetcars precedence by making it inconvenient for cars to travel on King Street. Specifically, the new rules, which are being tried out on a pilot basis, require cars to turn off King Street at major

Sacred Heart students inspired by speakers at Nov. 15 We Day BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
They had been at We Day before but they were still inspired again this year by the speakers at the Nov. 15 event at the Canadian Tire Centre. Sacred Heart High School Grade 8 students Justine Many and Emma Parrell were both inspired by their experience at this year’s We Day. Justine noted the many inspirational speakers at the event, all of whom have done great things. She particularly mentioned Spencer West, the legless man from Toronto who has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania despite having lost his legs when he was five years old due to a genetic disorder. She found Spencer to be a very inspirational person who has done so much. She said that she enjoyed this year’s We Day even more than the one she attended last year. For Emma, who has attended We Days since she was in Grade 5, this year’s We Day was an “amazing experience” which has provided inspiration to those attending to keep doing good things and keep making a difference in the world. She praised all of the speakers at the event but said that she found Laila Ali, a daughter of Muhammad Ali, as particularly inspiring. Both also found the segment about Gord Downie and Charlie Wenjack to be both inspiring and also emotional. Justine and Emma had seats this year in the 100 level at the Canadian Tire Centre, right near the stage. Last year they were seated in the 300 level. Both Justine and Emma, like all of those who attended this We Day at the Canadian Tire Centre on Nov. 15, earned their way there by making a difference by volunteering in some way. Both were involved with the “We Scare Hunger” campaign at Sacred Heart which collected food donations for the Stittsville Food Bank.

Sacred Heart High School grade eight students Justine Many (left) and Emma Parrell (right) attended the recent We Day at the Canadian Tire Centre. Justine herself wants to continue to help out in the community and in particular wants to help out at a homeless shelter. Emma wants to get more involved in helping people who are suffering from mental health issues. Both Justine and Emma are involved in school activities, as both are in the drama club and both are peer ambassadors who help out with the school’s antibullying campaign. Gord Downie is the lead singer for the group the Tragically Hip who died this past year. Charlie Wenjack is an Indigenous youth who died trying to escape from a residential school. The Gord Downie and Charlie Wenjack Fund has been established to encourage and support reconciliation. Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali, is a former professional boxer herself but she was able to speak about Ali not as one of the world’s most famous people, but as her father. Other speakers at this We Day included Paralympian and “Man in Motion” Rick Hansen and Ban Kimoon, secretary-general of the United Nations.

On Saturday December 2nd I invite you and your family to join me at my annual cookie decorating and photo with Santa event at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex’s from 9a.m. to 11a.m. This event is being held in conjunction with the GRC’s holiday celebration, Jingle Your way through the GRC. From 9:00-11:00 AM, residents are invited to bring their young ones and their Christmas cheer as a slew of stations including gingerbread cookie decorating, photos with Santa, and art stations will all be set up to get you in the Christmas Spirit! New this year, children will be invited to contribute their art and sign a jumbo-sized community Christmas card which will be prominently displayed in my office at the GRC for the month of December! Winners of my annual Christmas Card Contest will be announced at 9:45 and Santa should be making his arrival around 10:00 so be sure to show up early! This is one of my favourite events each year as Christmas and the holiday season is a great time to bring families together for celebration, cheer, and overall merriment. As the event is free, every year in the past, we have asked for a donation to the Stittsville Food bank. This year we are helping to raise funds in support of the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation’s Hopes Rising Campaign for Mental Health. A suggested donation of $5 per family or whatever you can give would be appreciated. I highly encourage all residents to stop by and join in the fun for this once a year event while helping a great cause!
Kanata LRT EA Study Open House John Curry/Metroland

I have some great news that I am happy to share with residents. At last week’s meeting with the Kanata Light Rail Transit (LRT) Environmental Assessment (EA) Public Consultation Group, it was revealed that the preferred route regarding the future of the LRT extension from Moodie to Palladium through Kanata is now slated to bring the LRT into Stittsville! The amended route would extend beyond the Canadian Tire Centre parallel with Huntmar to Hazeldean Road. Even though this will not take place for some time, this is great news as Stittsville residents made their voices heard. Following the preliminary EA Open House last June, I did encourage residents to submit their comments on their preferred choice; many comments were received and it was in part thanks to this public input that made this all possible. However, this decision is not yet final. Once again, I would like to invite all residents to an open house on Thursday, December 7that the Kanata Recreation Complex (Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Pl) to show their support for the recommend route. To date, the Study Team has finalized the recommended corridor, and at this open house will present design details on the recommended plan, station locations and concept designs, and the requirement for a light maintenance and storage facility. I encourage all residents to attend this important open house and share any further comments as the LRT will play a huge role in the future of Ottawa transit. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. To provide your comments, please contact Senior Project Engineer, Angela Taylor, by email at Angela.Taylor@ottawa.ca or by phone by calling 613-580-2424 Ext. 15210

Richmond Holiday Tour SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
In the Village of Richmond Holiday House and Business Tour on Saturday, Dec. 2, you will get to see six houses and enjoy three businesses, as well as a church. But, the real seasonal treat in this tour is that each of the homes will feature unique interior holiday decorations. Sonya Kinkade Design of Richmond is donating time and skill to decorate the six homes on the tour for this holiday-themed event. In addition, at Danby’s Roadhouse, one of the business stops on the tour, you will not only be able to enjoy a special holiday lunch for just $9, but you will also be entertained by Richmond’s own singing duo, Pam and Doug Champagne. At 59 Fortune St., one of the homes on the tour, you will not only get to tour and enjoy the spacious bungalow, but there will also be an antique cutter sleigh which will be collecting gifts for local families in need. Each gift donated should be wrapped and labelled by age (up to 18 years old) and by gender (boy or girl). You don’t have to be on the tour with a ticket to be able to leave a gift at this antique cutter. Anyone can drop by and leave a gift or two to help make Christmas a little merrier for families in need. This Village of Richmond Holiday House and Business Tour is a project undertaken by Sonya Kinkade, owner of Sonya Kinkade Design, to raise funds for the Richmond Food Bank, so that it can provide Christmas hampers and other assistance to local families in need over the coming holidays. All proceeds from ticket sales are going to the food bank. This Village of Richmond Holiday House and Business Tour will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Besides these six homes and three businesses on the tour, you will also be able to drop into St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street and enjoy its Christmas decorations, music and Christmas treats. Tickets for the tour are available through Eventbrite at $25 each. There will be a starting point for the selfguided tour where participants will pick up a tour guide brochure and tour bracelet and then be on their way. The Eventbrite site for tickets can be found at https:// www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-village-of-richmond-holidayhouse-business-tour-tickets-39338668015.

Parade of Lights followed by Village Square lights SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Parade of Lights in Stittsville on Dec. 2 promises to continue the spectacular tradition of this annual event. Last year’s Parade of Lights attracted nearly 60 floats and entries and this year’s event should have about the same number, with 54 floats already entered as of last week,
with a few more last minute entries expected. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA), which organizes this annual parade, currently has about 50 volunteers lined up to help out with the parade, mainly with looking after traffic barricades blocking traffic onto Stittsville Main Street during the parade. More volunteers are still needed as the SVA
THE
requires about 100 such volunteers in order to seal off Stittsville Main Street from traffic thoroughly. Anyone who would like to volunteer to help with this year’s Parade of Lights in this way should contact SVA president Tanya Hein by email at Tanya.hein76@gmail.com or by phone at 613-686-1842 or 613-292-

4555 (cell). Being a volunteer at a traffic barricade not only allows you to help stage this fun event, which attracts thousands of spectators who line Stittsville Main Street, but also gives you a front-row seat, as it were, for the parade as the parade will pass right by in front of the side-street traffic barricade which you are looking after. Motorists should be aware that Stittsville Main Street will be closed to traffic from Hazeldean Road to Carleton Cathcart Street this Saturday, Dec. 2 from about 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., although the parade is usually over before 8:30 p.m. in which case the street will be opened up again to traffic. Don’t forget that the Christmas lights at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street will be turned on officially for the holiday season immediately following the parade. Everyone is urged to be at Village Square Park for this spectacular happening. The route of the Parade of Lights this year will be the same as in previous years, starting at the School Board Depot across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and proceeding south on Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Church is) where it will disperse. A popular viewing spot is around the intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street where Ottawa radio personality Randall Moore will once again be on site, announcing the floats as they pass through the intersection. In addition, it is then an easy walk to Village Square Park where the Christmas lights will be turned on following the parade.

Millward’s is the result of years of planning by owners wners Liz and Don Millward. eers “After long fulfilling careers in the automotive and ed health care fields, we craved tunity change and the opportunity eativ to express our more creativ eative sides in a new challenge,” explains Liz. “I have always had a passion for décor. Over the years I have delighted in creating beautiful surroundings while also studying residential décor courses.” Liz also earned staging certification from Canadian Staging Professionals. Originally from Deep River, Liz says her décor style is derived from her love of natural beauty, reflected in simple, timeless ways. A native of Ottawa, Don studied at Ottawa Tech and always considered himself somewhat of a “gear head”. Now they are combining their talents and passions to open the higher end furnishing and décor consignment shop. “We have been collecting inventory ourselves from various sources, auctions mainly, to initiate the business and will continue to do so on an as needed basis,” says Liz and Don. “The hope is that once established, our main source of inventory will come from clients interested in consigning their treasures.” Pieces will be accepted on individual criteria, based on condition and marketability. “We are not constricting the business to any one particular style or era as we love anything from traditional to shabby chic.” Quality furnishings and décor will be the cornerstone of Millward’s Consignment. “Our shop will appeal to consignees interested in simplifying, downsizing or looking for a change who would like to pass on there once loved items and earn some cash.” Customers will be anyone looking to for high end, high quality furnishing and décor at a fraction of its original retail price. “Our store is a space for those who enjoy a more tactile experience, and the guarantee of quality not always found in the virtual world of shopping. It will also appeal to those in tune with today’s environmental issues who look for options to recycle, repurpose and avoid the waste and toxic effects of modern day over packaging and over consuming.” Millward’s will be closely linked to neighborhood charitable services as unsold/ unwanted items will be donated to people in need. “Our store is a relaxed place to come for advice whether it be related to creating the perfect colour scheme or finding the necessary focal point to tie everything together. Shop inventory will be forever changing and we will be more than happy to help out with any particular needs of our valued clientele. Our success will flow naturally as we share our talents with the community.”

Giant Tiger helps Ottawa-Carleton Lifeskills SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Giant Tiger in Stittsville has raised $2,000 in support of Ottawa-Carleton Lifeskills (OCL), a non-profit organization that supports adults with developmental and physical disabilities through residential and day supports. The funds were raised through donations received at the checkout counters at Giant Tiger over a recent two-week period. OCL works to improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities. Since 1985, the organization has been offering opportunities and experiences to adults with developmental disabilities through programs where they can grow, learn and thrive. OCL is involved in the Stittsville community. Indeed, it was the generosity of shoppers at Stittsville’s Giant Tiger which enabled the store to raise the $2,000 that has been donated to OCL. But, there are other involvements as well. Once a week, adults with developmental disabilities associated with OCL visit St. Stephen Catholic School, where they help with the milk program. OCL’s woodworking program also provided planters for an outdoor classroom at St. Stephen School. OCL also had a presence at the Season’s Greetings Craft Sale, which was held in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena last weekend. At the OCL booth at this craft sale, OCL participants were selling Impact cards. This is a new initiative recently launched by OCL, in which adults with developmental and physical disabilities create — with the help of OCL support staff — handmade
button art greeting cards. This fosters skill development and decision-making, while also providing community-based opportunities for each individual, such as participating in the craft fair. Proceeds from the sale of Impact cards help fund a personalized life experience for each individual participant. OCL serves more than 180 individuals through a number of programs, including residential and day support. OCL also operates several social enterprises which provide meaningful day activities for those with developmental disabilities, including Tableworks and HeartWood. Programs offered by OCL include community day supports, which offers both life skills and leisure programs in a day program environment, with the day activities suited to the specific needs, interests and abilities of the participants. There’s also the home share program, in which adults with a developmental disabilities are matched with a salaried employee of OCL who provides ongoing support in the home. The OCL residential program sees adults with developmental disabilities living on one of OCL’s homes, where they develop, improve or maintain their interpersonal skills, daily living skills and participation in the community. The OCL’s supported independent living program sees participants live in their own homes while getting support from OCL staff. OCL also has a supported apartment living program, in which individuals share an apartment with another individual with support from OCL staff in supervising and monitoring individual needs and activities.

Apple cheddar bread is great for sandwiches If using frozen pizza dough, defrost overnight in the refrigerator. This loaf slices easily once cooled. It makes delicious turkey sandwiches with crisp greenhouse lettuce and cranberry sauce. Preparation time: 15 minutes (plus 1 hour for bread to rise) Baking time: 40 minutes Serves 8 to 10 Ingredients 2 cups (500 ml) shredded aged cheddar cheese 1 cup (250 ml) finely diced peeled apple 2 tbsp (25 ml) finely chopped fresh sage leaves 1 lb (500 g) prepared white or whole wheat pizza dough Spray 9 x 5-inch (2 litre) loaf pan with cooking spray; lightly coat with flour. In medium bowl, combine cheese, apple and sage. Remove 1 cup (250 ml) of the mixture to small bowl; cover and refrigerate. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 9 x 5-inch (23 x 12 cm) rectangle, about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick. Sprinkle remaining apple mixture evenly over dough. Roll dough to enclose apple mixture along its longest side. Using large sharp knife, loosely chop dough into 1/2-inch (1 cm) strips, then cut crosswise again, making coarse dice. Repeat cutting again as necessary, until
cheese and apple are distributed evenly. Form dough into loaf shape and place in prepared pan; cover with parchment paper and clean tea towel. Let rise at room temperature until the dough doubles in size and springs back when touched lightly, about 1 hour. Sprinkle top of loaf with reserved apple mixture. Bake in 450 F (230 C) oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F (180 C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

The group started in 1977, quite literally singing Christmas carols in the stairwells of residences at the University of Ottawa during exam time, attracting the attention of students who would emerge from studying in their rooms to listen to the carols. Director and founder Pierre Massie recounted one memorable incident where a big football player student approached the group. Was he going to be confrontational? Instead, he asked if the group knew Little Drummer Boy. The group would go to various locations to perform their impromptu singing. It was at the Bayshore Shopping Centre where they got a big break and, indeed, where they got their name. While they were singing there, radio station CFRA was holding its Christmas Cheer broadcast. CFRA radio personality Gord Atkinson was alerted to the choir’s music by his wife Elaine and the group was subsequently asked to perform on the radio. Just before they were to go on air, Gord asked what the group’s name was. Well, at that time, they had no name but the name Stairwell Carollers was blurted out and it has been the group’s name ever since. The Stairwell Carollers are now in the group’s 40th year of presenting Christmas concerts. Each year the Stairwell Carollers donate the proceeds from the group’s Christmas concerts to a charity. Since 1987, these donations have totalled $131,319. Also, since 1997, the Stairwell Carollers have provided scholarships for students. A total of $16,000 in scholarships have been presented over this time. The Stairwell Carollers placed first in provincial choral competitions in both 2010 and 2013, reflective of the group’s superlative a cappella singing. Their repertoire includes both sacred and secular songs as well as unique interpretations of traditional Christmas carols in a number of languages. The Stairwell Carollers have produced a number of CDs of their music. The group’s fifth Christmas CD, which is now available for purchase, is entitled O Magnum Mysterium. Kristine Geary’s

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The concert is entitled From Handel to the Beach Boys. This intriguing title is enough in itself to entice you to attend the concert. But then when you hear that the concert will feature the Goulbourn Male Chorus, it becomes a “must do” event. And then when you hear that this will be the group’s initial concert under its new musical director Scott Auchinleck, you know that it is a “can’t miss” event. Scott has been the music director for a number of choral groups in the region. Scott has developed the program for this From Handel to the Beach Boys concert so that it includes classical Christmas numbers, popular Christmas songs, solos, a cappella ensembles, piano pieces and, yes, singalongs. So it’s going to be a musical evening to remember, that’s for sure., The program is bound to showcase the range of talent in the chorus as well as the extraordinary skills of the group’s accompanist Bonnie MacDiarmid. From Handel to the Beach Boys will take place on Saturday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road
near Huntmar Drive. To prepare for this concert, the Goulbourn Male Chorus is singing at local seniors’ homes. They sang at the Bridlewood Trails retirement residence on Nov. 28 and will be performing at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre on Dec. 13. These sing-outs at retirement residences serve as rehearsals for the Male Chorus while also providing musical enjoyment to the residents. The From Handel to the Beach Boys concert will feature two hours of rich musical harmony provided by the Goulbourn Male Chorus, all sure
to get you in the Christmas spirit, especially if you participate in the singalongs. Tickets for this Christmas concert are $15 each and are available from Male Chorus members, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville, the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville, Kanata Cleaners in Kanata and online at the website www.goulbournmalechorus.com. By the way, children under the age of 12 will be admitted free of charge. The Goulbourn Male Chorus draws its singers mainly from Stittsville, West Carleton and Kanata.

Dave Smith Centre closer to reality SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The new home of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is one step closer to reality. Work has started on Phase 1 of the project which includes site preparation including installation of the septic system. Bradford Construction won the tender to undertake this work which started this month. ”The good news is Phase 1 has started,” Stephanie MacGregor, executive director of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville at the club’s Nov. 22 meeting where she gave an update about the project. She said that it has taken a gargantuan effort by all concerned to get the project to this point where digging is occur-
ring on the site. The Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville has been a long time supporter of the project, committing to a $30,000 pledge to the fundraising campaign a number of years ago, meant to be paid over a ten year period. The pledge was fulfilled in five years. The project involves construction of a $11.8 million facility for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre on Bradley Side Road which is in West Carleton just off the Richardson Side Road. A total of $7.3 million in funding from different sources including $1 million from fundraising and $1.5 million from the province has been confirmed, with $4.5 million still to be raised. Consultants have been hired to help with this remaining fun-
draising which will be seeking major donor gifts of $100,000 and up. Construction of the facility itself is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2018. The new facility will offer residential treatment services for youth aged 13 to 21 suffering from substance abuse and mental health issues. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre was established in 1993 by Ottawa philanthropist and renowned restaurateur Dave Smith. It offered day programming from 1993 to 2010 when residential treatment was implemented for both male and female youth in different facilities, now up to 24 beds in total. The new facility will consolidate the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre services at one
site with an increase in beds to 30 beds. Since 1993, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has provided help to more than 15,000 youth and caregivers. The average age of those helped by the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is 17 to 19 years of age, with over half being 18 years of age or older. Just over half of those helped are male. Substance abuse includes use of tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, crack and cocaine and heroin and opioids. Mental health issues accompany substance abuse, with 90 per cent of the youth dealing with two or more mental health issues. These include depression, stress, suicidal thoughts and other issues.

Farm visitors in the winter
I
t was a worry for me. Winter had settled in and the fields were deep with snow, and paths made only for the places we had to get to ... the barns, the ice house, the pump, and of course the outside privy. Everywhere else was just massive drifts of white snow. The West Hill, across the creek and leading to the railroad tracks was also covered in snow, and this was what I was worried about. It was a time when tramps rode the rails, and before the snow came, it was unusual if we didn’t have two or three tramps a week, coming up from the tracks looking for a meal. And they were never turned away ... Mother setting an extra place right at our dinner table, and sending them off with a
Many of them not much older than my brothers. Mother said they were orphaned children brought over from the British Isles to work on Valley farms. She said many were so mistreated they had to run away, and they became the many tramps who rode the rails. So often I cried when Mother told me about the tramps, and now they were caught in the winter snow with no place to MARY COOK sleep, and I could feel my stomach brown paper bag of sandwiches and go into knots just thinking about cookies.

Mary Cook’s Memories
he went to the drive shed and took an old cushion he used on the hay mower and put it at the head of the makeshift bed. To me, it looked a lot more comfortable than the old creton couch in our kitchen. But I still worried about the tramps. We could give them a warm place to sleep, but what if they were hungry? Well, Mother had a solution for that too. We had an old battered black tin lunch box, with a place for a thermos in the lid. And at night she made sandwiches, filled the thermos with hot tea, and Father took it out to the barn and left it on the makeshift bed. Some nights it wasn’t touched, but often it was. And when the lunch box was empty, I knew that a tramp had had a good night’s sleep, and something for his stomach before heading back to the West Hill and the train tracks.
It was when the cold blasts of winter hit Renfrew County that I worried about them. And I often wondered how they knew that up the hill there would be a bed for them and sandwiches and cookies to take out of the lunch box and take with them when they headed back to the tracks. But they knew. And they knew not to take the battered black lunch box with them ... because there would be others, like them looking for a warm place to sleep. And there would be a lunch box with enough food to fill their stomachs before heading out again over the West Hill to the railroad tracks. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Get ‘Ready For Christmas’ with the Jubilee Singers two youth choirs associated with the Jubilee Singers. This intergenerational aspect of the performers is unique, involving singers from age 7 to 70 plus. The concert will not only have familiar seasonal tunes but will also include songs by Ola Gjeilo, Gordon Lightfoot and John Rutter. There will even be a world première of a brand new work by Stephen Eisenhauer.
And there will be singalong opportunities as well. It will all be taking place at the Trinity Presbyterian Church at 1817 Richardson Side Road which is located near the intersection of Huntmar Drive and Richardson Side Road. Start times for the concert will be 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2 and then 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3. The
earlier start than usual on the Saturday is ideal for those who are used to turning in early. Tickets for the concert (adults $20, seniors $15, youth $10 and children 12 and under free) are available from gjsingers@outlook.com. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers (GJS), a non-auditioned community choir, has a wide variety of music in its repertoire. Its members can be anywhere from 16 and up. The choir has soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices. Typically the Jubilee Singers sing in four-part harmony. The Junior Jubilees includes children from ages 8 to 13, while the GJS Teens group is for youth aged 13 to 16. So there’s something for everyone, both in the audience and among the performers themselves. The Junior Jubilees have performed on some “big stages” over the years. In 2013, the Junior Jubilees joined the Jerry Granelli Trio, an original Vince Guaraldi Trio member, in a live performance of Charlie Brown’s Christmas to benefit the Ottawa International Children’s Festival.

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax comes alive on Dec. 3 Children’s Advent production at Stittsville United Church SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The story of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss comes alive at the Stittsville United Church on Sunday, Dec. 3. This children’s Advent production will be presented at 10 a.m. and again at 3 p.m. The Lorax is a story of hope, with a most powerful line near the end of the story, namely, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” During the first Sunday of Advent, which is this coming Sunday, the candle of hope is lit at churches. The story
of The Lorax is a story of hope, with the tale being about not caring for the planet and how greed can overshadow being good stewards of the land and its animals. It is a powerful story told to a curious child (played by Emma LeMadec) by an old man, the Old Once-ler, who lives in a little shack called a lerkim. The child meets this ruined industrialist in a treeless wasteland, hearing his tale of what happened to him. His tragic story is about how he began a thriving business with a useless fashion produce derived from the
trees of a forest. As his business booms, the forest and its inhabitants suffer. He wantonly clear-cuts without regard to the warnings of a wise old creature called the Lorax (played by Liam Lawford), who outlines the dire consequences of the greed being displayed. This story of The Lorax challenges people to curb their “biggering and biggering.” It tries to teach people that they have enough and that they should not cause harm to the world and to others. The children at Stittsville United Church have been
studying the story of The Lorax since last July. Their hope is that it challenges society’s complacency and motivates people to consider their behaviours as the Christmas season, a time of giving and love, begins. The children of the church will be the creatures in the forest in this story. Brown barbaloots play about eating truffula fruit, humming fish enjoy the clear waters of the pond and the swomee swans sing high in the trees. The audience members will be asked to participate by knitting, so those planning to attend are urged to
John Roberts Broker
take knitting projects to work on during the play. Yarn and knitting needles will be provided for those wishing to use them. Colourful wild wigs are going to be distributed to the audience members for those wishing to stand and be a truffula tree, slowly falling into a seat as the forest disappears by clear-cutting. This presentation of the story of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss will be presented this Sunday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. and again at 3 p.m. at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road, just west of Stittsville Main Street. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy this retelling of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. The Lorax children’s book by Dr. Seuss was first published in 1972. It chronicles the plight of the environment and was Dr. Seuss’s personal favourite of his books. Most of the creatures in the book are original to the book.

Student art fills foyer at Stittsville Public School BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The foyer at Stittsville Public School became a huge art gallery last week. And what a gallery it was, featuring 650 original pieces of art, one done by each student in the school. The artwork was grouped on the walls of the foyer area by grade level. Each grade in the school — from kindergarten through Grade 6 — did a different basic scene, but each one was unique, as there were no rules or instructions of how the painting had to look. It was “Artist Kate,” a.k.a. Kate Ryckman — a professional artist in Stittsville — who provided the basic art form for each grade
level, ensuring that the subject of the art was not only interesting for the student artists involved, but was also age-appropriate regarding difficulty. So, the art varied from animals to fruit to flowers to hands to landscapes reminiscent of the Group of Seven. This schoolwide art project was initiated by the Safe and Caring Committee of parents and staff, to provide the students with an opportunity to use art to celebrate the uniqueness of every person. The school council provided funding for this initiative. And the students themselves learned from this art experience — not only about the unique creativity that each person has, but also about how to appreciate the work of each fellow student.
The result of this art project — with all of the art on display in the foyer, side by side — even impressed Artist Kate, who called it “magical.” She noted the incredible response from both students and teachers, adding that older students could be heard asking younger students about their paintings and wanting to see them. Indeed, student Kayden Hammond observed that when all of the art was put together on display, it was like one big piece of art. Parents also got to see and enjoy this art display in the foyer when they visited the school for parent-teacher interviews on Thursday evening, Nov. 23, as well as on Friday morning, Nov. 24, a PD day. The students themselves learned a lot

Stittsville Public School students who participated in the school-wide art project celebrating the uniqueness of every person through student paintings which were then displayed on the walls in the school foyer for parents and students to enjoy on Nov. 23 and 24 are (sitting at the front, from left) Liam Shagan and Parker Evans and (sitting, from left) Hannah Collette, Zakareya Ibrahim, Madeleine Gower, Kylee Crowe, Tristan Chiswell, Emily Legault, Kayden Hammond, Connor Davis, Emma Burta, Gabriel Bernal, Olivia Dawe and Benjamin Kemp.
from this art project — not only about art, but about each other. Emma Burta said that the project has inspired her to do more art on her own, adding that art allows a person to express their own feelings in a unique way. Olivia Dawe observed that in this project, every student was able to express their own unique self through their artwork. This made each of them feel special, because every student’s art was different in some way, she said. Hannah Collette said that when she looked at all of the art on display together, each piece looked unique, showing that everyone is different in their own way. Madeleine Gower said that when the art was put up all together on the walls in the foyer, it was like an “explosion of colour.” She thought that the art project was a lot of fun, noting that Artist Kate advised them not to erase anything when they were doing the art. Mistakes are beautiful was Artist Kate’s message. Zakareya Ibraham liked the project because it gave every student in the school an opportunity to express themselves in a unique way without being judged adversely by others. Tristan Chiswell said that in this art project, it did not matter how each student’s piece of art looked, but rather that it was a reflection of how much creativity and work the student put into the art. Gabriel Bernal said that the project showed that everyone has a unique way of doing art, just like everyone is different in life. He said that if a student had fun and put their creativity into the piece of art, then the result is beautiful, no matter what. Artist Kate has been working on school projects like this for the last five years. She works with Proud To Be Me, a fundraising organization that funds projects in the areas of community, education and youth. It works to help empower and educate youth with regard to inclusion and antibullying. This art project at Stittsville Public School began last September, with Artist Kate working with each class, both in discussing art and creativity, as well as in this handson art project focused on creating an original painting by each student. The project was designed to allow each student to be proud of themselves and even come to realize that mistakes can be beautiful. This is why Artist Kate challenged the students not to use erasers, but rather to embrace mistakes and work around them. In the art project, students not only learned art shapes and painting techniques, but they also learned that each piece of art is unique and worthy of respect — just like every person is unique and also worthy of respect. Artist Kate, a.k.a. Kate Ryckman, is an acrylic mixed media artist in Stittsville, who finds beauty in the world around her. Since 2010, she has taught mixed media art classes to both children and adults in her home studio. She also now teaches creative art programs in schools, such as this project at Stittsville Public School.
