Dancers perform at Stittsville Retirement Community in Stittsville. See pages 9-10

Guardian Angels Catholic School sends Christmas hampers to sister school. See page 19

News - “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” This was a phrase from the famous reply to the question “Is there a Santa Claus?” which was in the New York Sun newspaper in Sept. 1897. Indeed, this editorial replying to a child’s letter is the most reprinted editorial ever to run in any English language newspaper. And, indeed, if you were to ask this same question today and were to ask, say, Theresa Qadri, chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, you would get the same reply. And she knows of what she speaks because just last week, Santa Claus in the form of three businesses provided the Stittsville Food Bank with much needed gift cards which are being included in the Christmas hampers that the Food Bank is distributing this Christmas. Chair Qadri had been worried that the Food Bank did not have enough gifts for its Christmas food hampers. And then, out of the blue, just like as if from Santa Claus, $2,000 worth of gift cards for Toys ‘R Us was donated to the Stittsville Food Bank. Yes, that’s right – 100 gift cards, each worth $20 arrived at the Food Bank courtesy of three businesses. All three businesses are located in Nepean but the owners are Stittsville residents and Food Bank supporters. The businesses are Waterdon Construction Ltd., Alloy Fabrication and Merlin Door Systems Ltd. Thanks to the generosity of these businesses, the Christmas food hampers provided by the Stittsville Food Bank to the less fortunate in the community will allow the recipients to visit Toys ‘R Us and purchase gifts using these gift cards.

‘Santa’s Seconds’ at Stittsville Public School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It wasn’t Walmart, Target, Sears, the Bay or Toy ‘R Us but the gymnasium at Stittsville Public School had all the selection and trappings of a big department store last Friday as it served as the home for “Santa’s Seconds.�

This provides an opportunity for students at the school to personally select gifts for Christmas gift giving. This could be for siblings or for parents or for grandparents or even for themselves. And the gift items – all previously loved things that were gathered and collected for this “Santa’s Seconds� event – were laid out and

displayed in their various “departments.� There was jewellery, household, girl toys, boy toys, adult games, puzzles, adult books, kids books, stuffed animals, toddler toys and more. These gift items were laid out on display so that the students – who visited class by class, each class in the school, throughout the day – could view them and pick out that ideal gift for a brother or sister or parent. The items were displayed on tables, on tumbling mats, on risers, and on the stage, with each area identified with a sign explaining its focus e.g. adult games or puzzles. But this “Santa’s Seconds� offered more than just a department store-like selection of possible gifts. It also offered the wrapping up of the gifts in Christmas paper, with four tables manned by parent volunteers keeping busy wrapping up the gifts selected by the students

– wrapping up that gift for mom, that gift for dad, that other gift for a sister and so on. There was lots of Christmas wrapping paper being used throughout the day. Students left the gym with bags or arms full of Christmas gifts, all wrapped up and ready for placing under the tree at home. There was, of course, a cash payment table set up where the students settled their accounts for their dollar purchases. When the day was done and all of the school’s classes and students had made their selections at this “Santa’s Seconds� event, parents had an hour, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., to visit the gymnasium and do some of their Christmas shopping as well. This “Santa’s Seconds� event not only gives the students an opportunity to do their own Christmas shopping but also is a fundraising event. This year the funds raised through the sale of these donated used items are going to help Toy Mountain and Tysen’s Make-A-Wish Foundation.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

December 13th, 2013

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Director Robert Dueck, far left, directs members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus as they sing at the Hospice Care Ottawa day hospice at the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church hall in Richmond on Thursday, Dec. 12.

Ladies Chorus sings at Richmnd day hospice John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The day hospice at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church Hall in Richmond was filled with seasonal music on Thursday, Dec. 12 thanks to the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. The Chorus, under the direction of Robert Dueck and accompanied by Bonnie MacDiarmid on the piano, visited the day hospice to provide an in-house Christmas concert to the day hospice clients and volunteers.

A special highlight of the Chorus’ presentation was guest musician Steve Gibb who played two trumpet solo selections and also accompanied the Chorus at times. Wearing white blouses adorned with red and green corsages, the members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus sang several seasonal pieces before participating in a singalong of “Deck the Halls,� accompanied by Steve Gibb on trumpet. Two other singalongs were also on the program, “O Little

Town of Bethlehemâ€? and “Winter Wonderland.â€? The concert ended with the Chorus singing about a sleigh ride (“Just hear those sleigh bells ringing‌â€?), complete with sound effects for horses hooves clopping on the ground and sleigh bells, with the song ending with a thunderous “Whoa.â€? The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has evolved from a group of singers who were recruited to augment the Goulbourn Male Chorus at a 2011 concert. The group has continued to develop

over the past two years, performing at retirement residences in the area and holding its own full concert last April. The group recently held its own Christmas concert, drawing a full house to St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata, site of the concert. The day hospice at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond is operated at Hospice Care Ottawa, the new organization created by the amalgamation of Friends of Hospice Ottawa and The Hospice at May Court.

‘Blue Christmas’ service at St. Andrew’s Church Special to the News

News - For most, Christmas is a happy, joyous time. But for some in the community, such as those who have recently lost a loved one, Christmas can not be such a happy time. To help those who are lonely or unable to enjoy the Christmas season because of personal circumstances, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville is holding a “Blue Christmas� service this Saturday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. at the church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street in Stittsville. This service of worship is meant to help people remember those loved ones whom they have lost and is meant to allow the person to find some hope and peace through this communal service. Everyone in the community who would like to attend this Blue Christmas service this Saturday is most welcome.

Proposed zoning amendment for Hazeldean Road between Iber Road/Huntmar and West Ridge Drive I would like to take this opportunity to provide the following information as a result from the Planning Committee of December 10th. A motion was passed, and this item was carried and is scheduled to be heard by Council on January 22, 2014. The recommended zoning differs from the original approach, primarily with respect to auto-related uses. Section 3.6.3 of the Official Plan, Policy 6 states that “New gas bars, service stations, automobile sales, and drive-through facilities are permitted on Arterial Mainstreets and will be evaluated on the basis of the Design Objectives and Principles in Section 2.5.1, any applicable Council-approved design guidelines, and the Compatibility policies set out in Section 4.11.�. The original proposed AM7 zone prohibits these uses, but given the policy context an Arterial Mainstreet shall permit such auto-related uses. The motion directs staff to “review the recommended zoning between now and the January 22, 2014 Council meeting to determine if further provisions for auto-related uses are necessary to ensure the effective implementation for the Arterial Mainstreet Designation along the subject corridor�. Once staff have had an opportunity to address this direction, all interested parties will be notified of any recommendations prior to council. Revision of Draft Plan of Subdivision for 1620 Maple Grove Road The subject site is located on the south side of Maple Grove Road, primarily on the west side of the Carp River with some lands being located on the east side of the Carp River. The site is east of the proposed rapid transit corridor and bisected by Poole Creek on the northwest portion of the property. The 46 hectare parcel is currently vacant and located north of existing commercial development fronting on Hazeldean Road, east of existing residential subdivision and west of the Kanata Recreation Complex. Details of Plan of Subdivision Proposal: In 2004 an application for Draft Plan of Subdivision and a Zoning By-law Amendment were submitted to the City. The Draft Plan went through several iterations before it was recommended for approval by staff on December 3, 2007. An appeal to the OMB was filed and a motion to dismiss the appeal was heard by the OMB. An oral decision to dismiss the appeal was provided at the hearing. An Order of the Board was issued on April 26, 2012, approving the Draft Plan of Subdivision. To obtain further information relating to this proposal, go to Ottawa.ca/devapps, access the City’s Development Application Search Tool, and input the File Number in the “Search� criteria. To view the application, please contact lead planner for this file, Louise Sweet-Lindsay at 110 Laurier Avenue West, 4th floor Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 or via email louise. sweet-lindsay@ottawa.ca Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

Concert of contrasts

Nearly every week, I write two columns; one for the Stittsville News and one for the Manotick Messenger. I do this is because Goulbourn and Rideau are different and have unique concerns. It also keep my columns from being too long and boring people to death. However, this week, my column in this paper will be entirely about an issue in Manotick. The reason for this is because I am writing about the future of Dickinson Square, which receives thousands of visitors a year and is of concern to more residents than just those nearest to it. The ďŹ le I am referring to involves the heritage properties that surround Watson’s Mill and form Dickinson Square. My predecessor, Glenn Brooks, was instrumental in acquiring these properties when the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority was vacating the Square and moving to their new home in Beryl Gaffney Park. The City subsequently purchased the properties and began working toward a plan to maintain Dickinson Square as an open space preserving the heritage character of the Square, but also to gain back the initial investment through sale or long-term lease, thus the creation of the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation (MMQCDC).

News - The Goulbourn Male Chorus which presented its “Welcome Christmasâ€? community concert last Sunday afternoon, is a communitybased chorus comprised of men from Stittsville, Kanata and several surrounding communities. The Male Chorus began in Sept. 2010 with 12 men and since then has been growing in numbers. Its current repertoire consists of traditional male chorus selections, spirituals, folk songs, ballads and some lighter selections. The Male Chorus has now spawned two ensembles, the G.M.C. Ensemble and the G.M.C. Men of Note ensemble. The G.M.C. Ensemble is a three part male chorus whose members include tenors Jean Aube, Jean Wong and Rory MacDiarmid; baritones David Steventon, Jack Barker, John Hunter and Peter Dykstra; and bass singers Chris Brydges and Jim Trouten. The G.M.C. Men of Note is an eight member a cappella ensemble which began this past September. Members include ďŹ rst tenors Ian Moody and Laurisse Huijer, second tenors Gary King and James McIntosh, baritones Ian Glen and Martin Edwards and bass singers Doug Hall and Rene Normandin. The Goulbourn Male Chorus is directed by its founder and music director Robert Dueck of Stittsville, while the group’s accompanist on the keyboard is Bonnie MacDiarmid who has three decades of experience accompanying a variety of musical performance groups.

News - It was, in some respects, a concert of contrasts. On the one hand, there was guest soloist Skye MacDiarmid, at one point there all alone at the front of St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata, site of this “Welcome Christmasâ€? community concert featuring the Goulbourn Male Chorus last Sunday afternoon. There she stood and sang in an area which previously had handled the full Male Chorus plus the guest ďŹ ve-member Polished Brass Quintet. So, from a packed performance area to a solitary ďŹ gure. And soloist Skye MacDiarmid’s clear, crystal-like voice delivered “He Shall Feed His Flockâ€? from Handel’s “Messiah,â€? an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 which over the years has become one of the best known and most frequently performed choral works in music. Not a sound other than her voice ďŹ lled the air, indicating a spellbound audience. Immediately following this virtuoso performance, the Male Chorus returned to centre stage where they sang “The First Noel,â€? with their deep, rich collective male sound a stark contrast to the preceding solo offering. The two, the Male Chorus and soloist Skye MacDiarmid, performed together later in the concert, combining on “O Holy Nightâ€? and then on the toe tapping spiritual-like “Come and See the King,â€? a piece enhanced by a couple of forceful, rousing solo ourishes by keyboard accompanist Bonnie MacDiarmid (yes, she is Skye’s mother). And what a treat and again another contrast when guest musicians the Polished Brass Quintet ended the ďŹ rst half of the concert with their instrumental rendition of the perennial favourite “Frosty the Snowman.â€? When the deep-sound tuba was featured, you could just visualize Frosty plodding along in the snow. And did we say rendition? We should say renditions, causing Goulbourn Male Chorus music director Robert Dueck to comment afterwards to the audience: “I didn’t know Frosty had so many interpretations!â€? But the Polished Brass Quintet added much to the program, not only with its concert prelude music and its solo performances like “Frosty the Snowmanâ€? and later, “A La Nanita Nanaâ€? but also when it accompanied the Male Chorus, accenting these male voices with a brass ourish here and there, or providing a full accompaniment as with the tune “Joy to the World.â€? This carol ďŹ lled every corner of the church as it involved not only the Male Chorus and the fully engaged Polished Brass Quintet but also the audience. It was the same outcome earlier in the concert when all three – the audience, the Male Chorus and the Polished Brass Quintet – combined for the carol “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.â€?

See CONCERT LINEUP, page 7

See MALE CHORUS, page 7

Over the last three years, we have held open houses, public consultation meetings and visioning sessions to determine the community’s vision for Dickinson Square and the surrounding area. This level of public input led to the creation of architectural design guidelines and a zoning amendment that ensured the heritage buildings, and non-heritage properties, would ďŹ t in with the Square and the vision of the community. This brought us to the Request for Proposals (RFP) that was released in the summer and closed in early October. The RFP included Dickinson House, the Carriage Shed, the Ayres Building, the Weaver House and the property at 1125 Clapp Lane. The Holloway property (1116 Bridge Street) was also acquired in 2007 but was not subject to the RFP and will remain as a City property. The intent of the RFP was to either sell or lease the ďŹ ve properties. At a public meeting held on Tuesday, December 17th, I presented the results of the Request for Proposals. Bids were received on all ďŹ ve properties but, as I mentioned before the RFP opened, there were conditions that needed to have been met and only three properties received bids that met the minimum requirements: 1125 Clapp Lane, the Weaver House and the Ayres Building. The Dickinson House and Carriage Shed will continue as they do now through 2014 and the MMQCDC will revisit the plan for these two properties, likely in 2015.

Three who were involved in the “Welcome Christmas� concert presented by the Goulbourn Male Chorus at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata last Sunday afternoon are, from left, mom Bonnie MacDiarmid, who is the accompanist for the Goulbourn Male Chorus; daughter Skye MacDiarmid who was the guest soloist at the concert; and dad Rory MacDiarmid who is a member of the Goulbourn Male Chorus and also sings with the new G.M.C. Ensemble.

Who’s who in concert

The property at 1125 Clapp Lane was the property that commanded the most attention over the last several years. It was subject to a proposal to close Dickinson Street to create a larger lot as well as a proposal to increase the height of any potential building. Both of those proposals were presented to the community and soundly rejected. The property was, however, rezoned to eliminate the use of it as a service station/car dealership and the allowable height was increased from 11m to 12m, keeping in mind that Watson’s Mill is 12.5m and also that the community expressed the desire to see that building capped at three storeys.

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The successful proponent for 1125 Clapp Lane was Joe Princiotta, who has come forward with a plan for an independent living centre for seniors that will see some commercial uses on the ground oor and also incorporate the property at 1129 Clapp Lane. Mr. Princiotta’s proposal also included a generous contribution to the development of a Remembrance Park, proposed to be built on the Holloway property. Any development application will still be subject to proposal planning process and Mr. Princiotta will likely be before the community in the New Year with his plans.

Mr. Princotta was also the successful bidder on the Ayres Building (1128 Mill Street). His plan for that heritage building included maintaining Rural Ottawa South Support Services as a tenant for at least 18 months. ROSSS is an important part of our community and contribute greatly to Rideau-Goulbourn and Osgoode. The City will work with ROSSS over that time to see how we can ďŹ nd the appropriate accommodations that they have been seeking in recent years. Any future use of the Ayres Building, post-ROSSS, will need to ďŹ t in with the vision set out for the Square. Should a proposed use not ďŹ t in with that vision, the property does have a buy back provision in which the City then reclaims the property to ensure the integrity of the commitment made to the community. The third property that found a successful bidder was the Weaver’s House, another heritage property located at 1131 Mill Street. The proposal for this property is that the former home will be converted into Christmas store and will be owned by Lorna Challis, who currently operates a store called Christmas Presence. Manotick is full of unique retail locations, such as the Gingerbread Man and Chilly Chili’s and I think a Christmas store will just add to that unique shopping experience.

As I mentioned in public meetings leading up to this, we have worked diligently with the community to create a vision for Dickinson Square that most residents can support.

Before the end of the concert, the Goulbourn Male Chorus continued its tradition of supporting the Stittsville Food Bank at what has now become an annual Christmas event, with a donation being presented to Stittsville Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri who was in attendance at the concert along with her husband, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

Male Chorus presents ‘Welcome Christmas’ Having a couple of trumpets involved really conveyed the announcement message carried in the song: “Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born King.” Adding yet another dimension to this “Welcome Christmas” concert was the performance of two ensembles, the nine-voice G.M.C. Ensemble and the eight member a cappella ensemble, G.M.C. Men of Note. The G.M.C. Ensemble presented “God Rest You Merry Gentlemen,” a traditional English carol, arranged for a three part male group with the bass even singing some melody. This G.M.C. Ensemble also sang “Winter Wind,” portraying the joys and beauty of winter, accompanied by guest musician Crystal Payne on the flute. In the second half of the concert, the G.M.C. Men of Note, wearing black vests, took centre stage, singing “Sing Out the News” about

the birth of Christ the Saviour and “Whisper, Whisper,” delivering it in both a sung whisper and a loud shout. And their eight-voice offerings provided a much different musical experience than what followed – a singalong version of “While Shepherds Watched,” with the Male Chorus, the Polished Brass Quintet and the audience all fully engaged. From eight voices to every voice in the church – both great but oh, such a contrast, such a difference! And when the Goulbourn Male Chorus wrapped up the concert for the near-capacity audience with “Here We Come A-Wassailing,” it ended a concert that had a lot of music delivered from a variety of performers. And MC David Steventon was quick to note in his closing comment how quickly the concert had gone by. “Where has the two hours gone,” he said to the audience. “It seems to have flown by.” And when the performers – the Male Chorus,

Feds slam door on mail delivery

T

he announcement that Canada Post will end home mail delivery in the next five years is the beginning of the end for mail service in this country. Reduced service and a higher cost is a death knell for any company. The cutbacks will no doubt be a self-fulfilling prophecy as cuts to service in turn cut into the current level of demand. Maybe the real plan is to sell off Canada Post. And it’s rather sad that the federal government would announce this just as MP’s leave on their Christmas break, leaving no chance for debate. The change will mean a great deal to seniors and folks with any disability that makes a trip to a community mailbox tricky. This will likely be an election issue in the future as seniors take their right to vote very seriously. Beyond delivery of letters, mail carriers do provide social interaction for people who may feel isolated. Carriers can also check in on seniors who live alone, and they act as the eyes of the community because they know residents and can report suspicious people. In the U.S., the postal service is legally required to deliver six days a week. In Britain, the Royal Mail has been privatized, although citizens can still

expect minimum standards will be met. Canada has geographic challenges unlike those countries – greater distances and fewer people and pieces of mail. If the cutting of home delivery is carried out as planned, we may be headed for a private delivery service in the not-too-distant future. If Canada Post has no monopoly, we could see more delivery trucks from competing firms on our streets; not a good deal for the environment when one carrier can do the job. As the price of a stamp goes up and up, eventually those private companies may see their chance. The cost of postage will rise to $1 for an individual stamp next spring, meaning next time the holidays roll around, postage may cost more than the Christmas card inside the envelope. Our federal government is creating conditions for Canada Post’s failure. The die has been cast, so make your voice heard. If home mail delivery is valued by Canadians, why should we not accept that the system may run at a loss? That’s what our tax dollars are for: to deliver basic, important services to all. If you care about home delivery, tell your MP. It might be nice to send your thoughts in a letter. While you still can.

From Canada Post, the last Christmas card

I

t was a nice seasonal touch on Canada Post’s part to tell you that you’ve received your last Christmas card. It was beyond grinchy and a lot of us Whos down in Whoville don’t like it that much. Beginning next year, some five million of us, living in cities, aren’t going to get mail delivery at the door any more. So why would we send Christmas cards to anyone living in cities? And why would any of them send cards to us? True, there is something faintly heartening about never again having to pick up a pen and scrawl 100 or so times that nothing much different happened this year and hope to see you next year. But that’s not the point, is it? Nor is it the point that this will increase the number of people telling us in electronic greeting cards that nothing much different happened this year. Leaving seasonal aspects aside, the point is that voodoo economics has made victims of us once again. Canada Post has decided, first, that it doesn’t make enough money and, second, that the way to make enough money is to make itself irrelevant. That doesn’t usually work. We have seen this pattern, although less dramatically, in OC Transpo, where the

613-723-5970 Published weekly by:

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town response to economic difficulties has traditionally been to raise the fares and reduce the routes, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of doom. Because Canada Post is selling fewer stamps it proposes to raise the cost of them. See the logic? At least OC Transpo never proposed to eliminate buses altogether. A couple of bad assumptions are at the root of all this. The first is that, in these changing times, door-to-door mail service is no longer needed and that people can happily walk to the community mailbox or whatever it is. Well, some people cannot walk happily anywhere. As we are constantly being reminded, the population of Canada is rapidly aging, providing us with even more people who don’t walk happily. Nice timing, Canada Post.

As for changing times, they do not affect everyone the same way. Yes, there are people who do all their correspondence and all their bill-playing electronically. Yes there are people whose cheques are deposited automatically. Yes, those people probably don’t need mail delivery at the door. But not everyone is like that, not even in cities. This is where the decision makers make the common mistake of assuming that the people on their street are the same as the people on every street. Just because everyone you know has several computers and WiFi in their homes doesn’t mean everybody else does. Further, even some of the people who are comfortable with computers are not comfortable entrusting their financial dealings to the Internet. That may be an overly cautious view but, heaven knows, years of reading about Internet fraud, identity theft and various other boondoggles has created a healthy skepticism. The second bad assumption is even more profound -- it is that Canada Post has to make a profit. Who says? For many years, the consensus was that if it’s a public service and people need it, there’s no reason it needs to make money. The postal service was like the educational system.

That changed, 30-some-odd years ago, when governments began to be run by people who hated government. Many of today’s big thinkers grew up with Margaret Thatcher’s picture on the wall of their rooms in the fraternity house. If it didn’t make a profit, they learned, it shouldn’t exist. So there goes Canada Post. It will be interesting to see how this is received politically. At first glance, the decision appears to be a gift for opposition parties. They are fighting to see who can be first to stand up for Canada’s seniors. At least in the next election there will be one issue people can understand.

Dancers entertain in lounge area John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The lounge area at the Stittsville Retirement Community by Revera became a stage on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 8. That’s when a group of dancers from The Dance Studio & Boutique in Stittsville presented a dance Showcase of individual, duet and group routines ranging from ballet to musical theatre. Each of the routines, watched by about 50 Villa residents and also parents of the performers, was accompanied by recorded music, creating a lively sound backdrop to the performances. The sofas and chairs in the lounge area were pulled back to the exterior of the space, not only providing great seating for the onlookers but also opening up the lounge space so that it became a spacious performance area. A Christmas tree in one corner of the lounge reminded everyone of the approaching Christmas day.

Dancers from The Dance Studio & Boutique who took part in this Showcase were Kendall Lightfoot, Jessica Huyhn, Lindsay Brazeau, Laura Harvey, Victoria Noon, Callie Killeen, Ally Mayhew, Abagael Hudak, Lauren Montague, Brianna Pilon, Isabella Hudak, Emma Montague and Janet Jian. Dancer Lauren Wilks was also in attendance but on crutches, limiting her role to watching, tapping along with the music, applauding and offering support to her fellow dancers. Christine Delorme, owner of The Dance Studio & Boutique, was on hand to keep the 40 minute program running smoothly, with each of the dancers performing as arranged. The Stittsville (Villa) Retirement Community by Revera is located on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, across from Holy Spirit Catholic School. The Dance Studio & Boutique is also located on Stittsville Main Street, albeit farther south near the Abbott Street/Stittsville Main Street intersection.

Children at the Nursery School collected 50 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, the program of Samaritans Purse in which shoe boxes filled with hygiene products, school supplies, toys and other items are sent to children in need around the world. In another holiday charitable campaign, youngsters at the Nursery School and their families collected a total of 100 pounds of carrots which were donated to the Stittsville Food Bank for its Christmas food hamper program.

News - Christmas carols will be on the menu at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville this Friday evening, Dec. 20. A number of members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, along with director Robert Dueck, will be on hand for the Gaia Java Friday music evening, repeating some of the music sung at its “Welcome Christmas� concert last Sunday afternoon but also singing a lot of familiar Christmas carols, offered in a singalong format. Yes, that’s right – everyone there will be encouraged to sing along with these familiar carols. After all, it will be just five days before Christmas and everyone should be in a Christmas spirit. This group from the Goulbourn Male Chorus will be singing at the Gaia Java coffee shop this Friday, Dec. 20 from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. These Friday music evenings at Gaia Java are open to everyone and are free. It is, though, advised to get there early for the best seating or, given the popularity of the Male Chorus and the success of its pre-Christmas appearance at Gaia Java last year, get there early to get any of the limited seating at all. Later arrivals may end up standing but this is not all bad – you will be able to hear and enjoy the Male Chorus sing and participate in the singalongs. It is even possible that some members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, particularly those who are spouses of those in the Male Chorus, will be present and may join the Male Chorus for some of the numbers. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

News - It was a Stittsville voice that filled the Canadian Tire Centre on Tuesday evening, Dec. 10. The voice was that of Madison Refausse, a grade eight student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, who sang the national anthem prior to the Ontario Hockey League game between the visiting Oshawa Generals and the hometown Ottawa 67’s. Madison stood on a carpet bearing the Ottawa 67’s logo at one end of the ice surface as she sang “O Canada,� with her image being flashed on the electronic video scoreboard above centre ice as she was doing so. Madison had successfully auditioned with the 67’s to sing the national anthem at one of their home games. But she is no stranger to

singing and performing as she has won the talent show at the Richmond Fair. Madison also is comfortable as a public speaker, having advanced through several stages of the Royal Canadian Legion’s public speaking competition in recent years. Madison attended Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville before moving on to grade seven at Sacred Heart High School where she is now in grade eight. In the game itself which opened with Madison’s singing of “O Canada,� the 67’s lost 5-2 to the Oshawa Generals. The Ottawa 67’s are playing their home games at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata until renovations and upgrades at the Ottawa Civic Centre, the team’s traditional home, are completed as part of the Lansdowne Park revitalization project.

News - The city of Ottawa is proposing closing the segment of Johnwoods Street in Stittsville from a point north of Alon Street to Maple Grove Road as a way of reducing trafďŹ c along Johnwoods Streets. The proposal is that the segment of Johnwoods Street between a new street, Rosehill Avenue which will intersect with Johnwoods Street from the east just north of the Alon Street/Johnwoods Street intersection, would allow trafďŹ c to head east from Johnwoods Street to Huntmar Drive or north to Maple Grove Road via a new collector road in the new subdivision. The closed portion of Johnwoods Street would be closed to vehicular trafďŹ c and converted to a linear multi-use pathway. However, the corridor would remain as a road allowance and be maintained for possible future transportation needs in the community. The city has taken this action regarding the closure of a segment of Johnwoods Street linking up with Maple Grove Road in response to comments received from community residents during the consultation process for this new subdivision. These comments were regarding existing trafďŹ c concerns on Johnwoods Street, speciďŹ cally related to volume and speed of trafďŹ c. Indeed, over the past two decades since the opening of what is now the Canadian Tire Centre, Johnwoods Street has been a focus of community concern related to high trafďŹ c volumes and speedingissues. It handled a lot of cutthrough trafďŹ c between Hazeldean Road and Maple Grove Road. The construction of the Huntmar Drive extension and the widening of Hazeldean Road have introduced some relief to the Johnwoods Street situation. The new Rosehill Drive collector that will run from Johnwoods Street through new subdivisions to Huntmar Drive However, this proposed closure of a segment of Johnwoods Street and its conversion to a multi-use pathway for pedestrian and cylist use will not take place until certain things happen. These include construction of both Rosehill Drive and the new north-south collector street that will run between Rosehill Drive and Maple Grove Road, circulation to the various technical agencies to determine any concerns and the holding of an information meeting in the community. This new subdivision planned on the east side of Johnwoods Street between Joseph Circle and Maple Grove Road will occupy 14.6 hectares and will include about 283 dwelling units comprised of 202 singles and 81 townhouse dwellings. The townhouse units will be located in the northly portion of the site adjacent to Maple Grove Road and along the new north-south collector street and adjacent to the Hydro One transformer station on Maple Grove Road. The proposed new subdivision also has a park and a site reserved for a school.

Rotary members collect empties despite biting cold John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - They faced biting cold with temperatures in the minus 20 degrees Celsius range last Saturday but members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville were not to be deterred in helping out the Caring and Sharing Exchange in its 26th annual “Running on Empties!” fundraiser. The Rotary Club members were stationed outside The Beer Store at the Stittsville Corners shopping area (Stittsville Sobeys plaza) at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road, collecting empty bottles donated to the cause by customers visiting The Beer Store. All of the proceeds generated by this initiative are going to help low income families in Ottawa through the Christmas Exchange program. This is a city-wide campaign, with volunteers stationed outside all Ottawa area beer stores all day long (9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.), encouraging

customers to donate their empty beer, liquor and wine bottles for the cause. In Stittsville, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has volunteered for this “Running on Empties!” fundraiser for a number of years now. Rotary Club members work in shifts throughout the day to have members on duty at The Beer Store throughout the day. The Caring and Sharing Exchange raised $26,642 in last year’s 25th anniversary “Running on Empties!” fundraiser. This year the need is great as there are over 20,000 people registered for assistance from the Caring and Sharing Exchange but funds are scarce. “Running on Empties!” will provide more funds for food hampers or gift vouchers for those in need this Christmas. The Caring and Sharing Exchange provides assistance to families and individuals who face economic hardship during the holidays by providing a food hamper or a gift voucher. The organization coordinates this assistance as well

as Toy Mountain distribution to thousands of people referred to it by some 300 organizations in the city. This coordination helps eliminate

duplicate applications and ensures that assistance is provided equitably and to as many people as possible.

News - Stittsville’s Scouting and Guiding communities have turned over $3,812 to the Stittsville Food Bank. These are funds raised through two fundraising initiatives. One was the traditional annual Apple Day held by Stittsville’s Scouting community in which Beavers, Cubs and Scouts provided apples in return for a donation, with the funds going to the Stittsville Food Bank. This fall’s Apple day raised $1,692. This formed part of the $3,812 which was turned over to the Stittsville Food Bank on Thursday evening, Dec. 12. The other $2,120 was money raised by members of Stittsville’s Scouting and Guiding communities as they went door-to-door in the community last month in their annual food drive. Besides collecting lots of non-perishable food items for the Food Bank, they also accepted cash donations. At the end of the day, these cash donations amount to $2,120.

Christmas hampers to St. Rose of Lima Special to the News

With some of the Christmas hampers prepared by classes at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville for delivery to those at its sister school, St. Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore, are, front row, from left, Olivia Rollins, Alexa Bennett, Joe Gaunce, Thomas Smith, Honica Rybak and Ethan Smith; middle row, from left, Darby McCoy, Bryenah Bennett, Dylan Malek, Colin Meilleur, Cameron Donaldson, Brad Bedard and Ben Rukavina; and, back row, from left, Guardian Angels Catholic School principal Michelle Corbett, St. Rose of Lima Catholic School principal Donna Bekkers-Boyd, Ashley Costantini and Emmanuella Appiah.

News - There was a convoy of five vehicles travelling from Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville to St. Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore on Thursday morning, Dec. 12. It really was more like Santa’s sleigh than a string of five vehicles because the convoy was carrying 25 Christmas hampers assembled and wrapped up by each of the classes at Guardian Angels to St. Rose of Lima School where the Christmas hampers were going to be distributed that very day. It is all part of a sister school program involving the two schools, Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville and St. Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore. This program links a school with a high number of needy families with a school that is able to share some of its good fortune. Students at Guardian Angels Catholic School collected gifts and donations of money for food vouchers in this Christmas hamper program. The gifts were all wrapped up in Christmas wrapping paper and were ready in the school lobby when the five vehicles from St. Rose of Lima School arrived at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12, ready to pick up the gift hampers and transport them to St. Rose of Lima School where the gifts and food vouchers will go a long way in helping needy families through the Christmas season. For students at Guardian Angels Catholic School, this Christmas hamper program is one way that they can show the true spirit of giving in the season of Advent leading up to Christmas. R0012475737

Tackling Dementia I recently had the chance to sit down with Matt Dineen, a local resident, to talk about how Dementia has forcefully and unexpectedly made its way into his young family’s life. Mr. Dineen is a teacher, husband and father of three young children. In January, his wife Lisa was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). Here is his story: “Almost two months after the diagnosis, the unfortunate circumstances which this evil disease had wrought, necessitated that Lisa (a highly-educated 44 year old woman) be placed in a secured unit in a long-term care facility here in Ottawa. Since then, I have been without spouse and the children have been without a mother.�

In the recent Throne Speech, our government pledged to renew investments in research that will tackle the growing onset of dementia-related illnesses. In fact, since 2011, we have increased our support to 44 research projects in universities and hospitals on Alzheimer’s and dementia-related diseases across Canada. However, many of the challenges we face cannot be tackled by governments alone.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PROUDLY INTRODUCES OUR OTTAWA AREA SALES STAFF

We continue to work alongside private sector researchers and innovators to help tackle this growing problem. Focusing on the good research and applying it into practical ideas and care models will allow our government, the provinces and the private sector to address this issue. By funding this research across Canada, we are hopeful that tangible improvements can be made to the lives of those affected by this troubling illness. We look forward to building on these strong collaborative partnerships at home and abroad. If you wish to ďŹ nd out more about Mr. Dineen’s story, please contact Debbie Seto from the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County at 613.523.4004 x127 or by email at dseto@asorc.org.

Sports - You can see some top quality women’s hockey action while also supporting Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) and youth mental health initiatives by attending the second annual D.I.F.D. hockey day at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata this Saturday, Dec. 21. From 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., there will be an Alumni game between the Ottawa Senators women’s alumni and the Nepean Wild Cats alumni. This will be followed from 4:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. by a Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) game between the Ottawa Jr. Senators and the Nepean Jr. Wildcats.

The formal presentation of the funds took place last Saturday at the Stittsville Sobeys store at the Stittsville Corners shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road in Stittsville. Last year, the SMHA was also the recipient of the proceeds from a similar promotion, receiving $600 as the Senators scored six power play goals in that month.

Potluck dinner and other happenings at Richmond Legion Wendy Ryan Special to the News

The Richmond Legion’s annual potluck dinner and joint meeting of the Branch, Ladies Auxiliary and Club 55 was held last Saturday, Dec. 14, with 27 hardy souls bracing the snow, wind and cold to attend. There was plenty of food with everything from meatballs to lasagna to potato salad on the menu. The dessert was a delicious chocolate bunt cake thanks to Sharon Murphy and a wonderful angel food cake thanks to Lis Olsen. Several donations were made during the course of the evening. The Ladies Auxiliary gave $1,000 to the Branch while Club 55 gave $1,500 to the Branch. The McCarthy family has made a $500 donation to the Branch from the proceeds of the annual Sarah McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament. These donated funds will be deposited in the Branch’s new furnace and air conditioner replacement fund that was started in November. The Richmond Legion led off the Santa Claus Parade in Richmond on Saturday, Dec. 7. Thanks go to Tom and Jane Louks for decorating and driving the truck in the parade. Thanks to Hilda Moore and Mavis Lewis who were real troopers for sitting in the back of the truck and holding flags to represent an abbreviated colour party. The 39th annual Seniors Christmas Dinner was held at the Legion Hall on Sunday, Dec. 1

with over 100 guests served with a full course turkey dinner with all the trimmings. A huge thank you goes to all of the people who worked so hard to make this annual event a success once again by decorating the hall, preparing all the food, serving the meals and cleaning up afterwards. Thanks also to all of the businesses which donated gifts for use as door prizes. The Richmond Nursery donated at least 20 poinsettias for table decorations again this year. These in turn are handed out at door prizes at the end of the event. Thanks also to McEwen’s Gas, Tim Hortons, King’s Your Independent Grocer, Silhouette Hair Studio, Richmond Café, Milano’s Pizza, Bakers Bean, Richmond Home Hardware and all the other local businesses who contributed.

THE OASIS

Sports - The West Ottawa Wild Things Tween B ringette team has captured gold at a tournament in Ottawa. Playing in the recent City of Ottawa Ringette Association (CORA) tournament in Ottawa, the Wild Things won two of three games to make it to the championship final. The Wild Things were behind by a 2-1 score at the end of the first period in this championship game but then roared back to win this championship game by a 5-2 score over the Nepean Ravens team. This earned the team the tournament gold medals and championship. For this tournament, the Wild Things used Scott Quintal as the team’s goalie since the Wild Things’ regular goalie Haley Bowditch was not available to play that weekend. This was Scott’s first-ever time playing ringette. He is normally a goalie in hockey. The West Ottawa Wild Things Tween B ringette team is one of the teams of the West Ottawa Ringette Association which draws players for its teams from the Stittsville, Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton areas of west Ottawa.

Infiniti Rakes in Awards by Brian Turner

Recently, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, industry giant AOL Autos announced it selected Infiniti’s Backup Collision Intervention (BCI) as a finalist for its 2013 Technology of the Year Award. Available on Infiniti’s QX60 and QX60 Hybrid luxury crossover, BCI is an advanced active safety system that can detect objects the driver may miss when backing up and even apply the brakes momentarily to get the drivers attention. AOL Autos’ annual Technology of the Year award recognizes vehicle manufacturers from around the world who have elevated the industry by incorporating technology into their vehicles that advance the connectivity, telematics, active safety and fuel economy of cars and trucks on the road today. Following an online popular vote at AOL Auto’s website (completed as of this date), this year’s winner will be announced at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. But that’s not all for Infiniti’s flagship crossover. For eight years, IntelliChoice.com and AutoPacific.com have teamed up for the annual Motorist Choice Awards, recognizing vehicles that marry both high consumer satisfaction and outstanding ownership value over time. This year, IntelliChoice recognized the Infiniti QX60 twice, as the premium segment winner in both the “People Mover” and “Kid Friendly” categories. Each year, AutoPacific polls more

than 50,000 new vehicle buyers on 48 key attributes, determining overall buyer satisfaction with their purchase. Concurrently, IntelliChoice monitors cost of ownership metrics for more than 2,000 different models and trim lines to compile a holistic view of what a car might cost over a five year period. Results from both AutoPacific and IntelliChoice are aggregated into one analysis that recognizes vehicles scoring high in both categories, The Motorist Choice Awards. Not to be outdone by its bigger cousin, the QX50 took a major award recently. Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) recognized Infiniti’s QX50 in the highly competitive Luxury Compact SUV/Crossover class as having the best resale value among its peers, citing it offers an “intriguing combination of sportiness, sophistication and practicality.” Infiniti’s Q30 Concept, the next step in Infiniti’s strategy to expand into new premium segments, made its North American debut recently in Los Angeles. The sleek, seductive Q30 Concept is the design vision for a compact Infiniti vehicle with a contemporary, individualized character for a new generation of premium customers. The compact premium segment is forecast for significant growth with the entry of young-minded affluent customers. “The Infiniti Q30 Concept is highly predictive of a new head-turning premium compact that we will launch in early

2015,” said Michael Bartsch, vicepresident, Infiniti Americas. “It is the perfect addition to our current portfolio of advanced sports sedans and coupes, luxury performance crossovers and full-size SUVs.” “The Q30 Concept has a compact footprint geared to the global trend of younger customers entering the premium sector in search of a product that suits their urban lifestyle,” added Bartsch. “The concept’s vision is to be the alternative to the practicality and conformity in the compact car segment.” The shape of the Infiniti Q30 Concept deliberately challenges convention – fusing the dynamic design and sportiness of a coupe, the roominess of a hatchback and the higher stance and visual presence of a crossover. Infiniti designers were given the freedom to explore seductive alternatives to traditional premium automobile brands. “Research among the new generation of buyers - with Gen X and Gen Y soon to represent 80 percent of the market - shows an increasing rejection of traditional notions toward premium cars,” said Bartsch. “These buyers are less willing to connect size, presence and high-output power as key ingredients of the premium product. Rather, they’re looking more for balance, great design and outstanding execution.”

Ottawa West and Bells Corners residents know a valued institution when they ďŹ nd one, and Cooley Automotive ďŹ ts that description to a tee. First opened by father, Jim Cooley Sr. in 1978 and now operated by son Mike, his family, and team, Cooley Automotive has been providing a complete level of maintenance and repairs for domestic and imported vehicles alike. From routine oil and tire changes to wheel alignments and computerized engine and electronic system diagnoses and everything in between, Mike and his team handle it with care and conďŹ dence and at prices that leave their customers smiling. Just as important as what Cooley Automotive offers is what they don’t. You’ll never be sold or recommended work or services that aren’t required; you’ll never get a 5:00 o’clock surprise when you come to pick up your vehicle only to be told it isn’t ready and/or will cost more than the estimate.

Instead Mike, Jenn, Jim, Sean, and Kirk will take the time to explain in understandable terms, exactly what needs to be done, how much it’s going to cost, and when it will be ready. When a customer drives off after picking up their car at Cooley’s, the shop’s reputation rides with them and they don’t leave anything to chance. That’s why in the sometimes difďŹ cult world of automotive repairs, Cooley Automotive stands out with a Better Business Bureau A+ rating. Cooley’s is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and keeps unheard-of Saturday hours by appointment. If you want to know what it’s like to deal with a repair provider who looks out for your interests call Cooley’s at 613 829 2057 or log onto

It was the occasion of the annual Family Christmas Party at the Stittsville Main Street facility, with Christmas music filling the dining area thanks to the musical efforts of the Mellow Tones, a redshirted six-member vocal and instrumental group that played one Christmas song after another. There was “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “I

Saw Momma Kissing Santa Claus” and more. Some prompted singalong efforts and some led to dancing. Residents and their families and guests enjoyed sweet treats and refreshments, either sitting at the tables in the dining area while viewing and listening to the Mellow Tones or sitting in the adjacent lounge area. A special Christmas touch to the event was added by Mimi, the 13 year old little white dog of resident Val Shives, who was wearing a Santa hat and suit for the occasion.

Family tree lighting ceremony at Sacred Heart John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Candles, Christmas balls, bells, birds, gifts and bows and a paper chain – these were all part of the decorating of the tree which was the focal point of the third annual family tree lighting ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Dec. 11. And each of these decorations had a special meaning, as explained by teachers Marina Westbrook and Sheryl Stonehouse to the more than 200 who attended this tree lighting ceremony in the atrium of the school. Candles, five of which were placed at the base of the tree, represented that Jesus is the Light of the World and people are meant to reflect His light. Candles used to be put directly on Christmas trees at one time but now have been replaced by Christmas tree lights which covered the tree at Sacred Heart for this event. Christmas balls, which hung on the tree as well as in the entrance way to the school, represented the school community. Those in the entrance way represented each homeroom, welcoming people to the school. The balls on the tree also represented each homeowner plus each school department. Each of these Christmas balls on the tree was signed by a student or staff person, with the approximately 100 balls on the tree representing all Sacred Heart students, teachers and staff. Bells on the Christmas tree are meant to ring out in celebration, calling everyone to gather together as a family to worship the miracle of the Saviour’s birth. Birds on the tree represent the

Gifts and bows on the tree are reminders of the bright bows and ribbons seen at Christmas time. Gifts are tied with bows, signifying that everyone should be tied together with the bonds of goodwill. The paper chain placed on the tree

is meant to be a symbol of connectedness and a reminder that families and communities are held together with love. The placing of these items on the Christmas tree which dominated the atrium area of the school was but one highlight of this annual family tree lighting ceremony this year.

Students in costume also re-enacted the nativity story, read out by Ms. Westbrook as the students took their places in or around the wooden crèche which was set up in the atrium. This tree lighting ceremony began with a performance by the Sacred Heart concert band under the direc-

tion of teacher Matt Dawber, filling the three-storey atrium with seasonal sounds. The band was followed by the vocal offerings of the Girls Glee Club and the Only Boys Aloud vocal group, singing “Peace on Earth.” The Only Boys Aloud group then sang “The Little Drummer Boy.” The five candles placed at the base of the Christmas tree were then presented, marched in one at a time. The grade seven and eight Sacred Heart String Club then performed, after which the Girls Glee Club and the Only Boys Aloud vocal group led in the singing of “Silent Night.” This was followed by an opening prayer, a scripture reading and prayer intentions before the lights on the tree were turned on in a three-fold process, from bottom to top. A prayer of blessing followed, after which the nativity story was told. In her remarks at this tree lighting ceremony, Sacred Heart principal Alex Belloni noted that Advent is a happy time as people are preparing their hearts for the coming of the Saviour at Christmas. She said that as a Catholic school, the school community is able to express its faith in the form of this tree lighting ceremony. Following the tree lighting ceremony, there was a host of family activities available including a display of student paintings related to the school’s Nicaraguan project, ornament making, cookie decorating, colouring Christmas scenes, Christmas storytelling, writing letters to Santa, face painting, the showing of a Christmas movie, and the serving of hot chocolate, apple cider and cake. In addition, Santa Claus made an appearance, as did the Sacred Heart Husky mascot.

www.bioped.com/products/ lower_limb_bracing.asp can help stabilize your knee joints to prevent pain and improve function tremendously so that you’re able to get back to a higher quality of life. They can even delay the need for a surgical knee replacement. While you can purchase a brace at a local drugstore or health centre you’re not likely to get a product that will provide you with the support you truly require. If your doctor has recommended a brace for you

condition reviewing any x-rays or MRI’s and examine the joint. They’ll also discuss your lifestyle and your goals, such as getting back to playing golf, hiking or to just reduce pain on an overall daily basis. The clinician then takes measurements to ensure that the brace that will be custom-made ďŹ ts you correctly and helps stabilize the joint to reduce wear and tear and increase function. Made of carbon ďŹ bre, custom braces are extremely durable and can last up to 10-years.

Lots of music in movie New zoning to allow auto-related uses in Rotary Film Series Special to the News

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - If you like a movie with lots of music – and good music, at that – then you will not want to miss the movie “Inside Llewyn Davis,” one of the four films being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014. It is the second film of the four to be screened in this International Film Series which will take place on one Thursday evening in four consecutive months (Jan. to April) in 2014. “Inside Llewyn Davis” will be shown on Thursday, Feb. 20. All of the screenings are happening at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata starting at 7 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. “Inside Llewyn Davis” is a 2013 American comedy/ drama film telling the story of one week in the life of a talented but struggling folk singer in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1961. The film has won the Grand Prix award at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of its top ten films of the year. And as for its music, the Lost Angeles Film Critics Association gave the film its award for best music score and the New York Film Critics Online honoured the film for best use of music. The Boston Society of Film Critics awarded the film its award for best use of music in a film. The Alliance of Women Film Journalists has the film in the running for its best music or score award. It has also been nominated for best original song (“Please Mr. Kennedy”) by the Golden Globes, the Phoenix Film Critics Society and the Satellite Awards. The St. Louise Gateway Film Critics are considering the movie for best soundtrack. So, seeing this movie is going to be a great experience, not only as a movie but as a musical experience. And just what is the music like? Well, most of the music consists of covers of folk songs played through in their entirety. Todd McCarthy of “The Hollywood Reporter” has called the film “an outstanding fictional take on the early 1960’s folk music scene and he has praised the film’s “fresh, resonant folk soundtrack.” After the film’s worldwide premiere at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, the film was screened at other film festivals including the New York Film Festival in September. The film has had a limited release in the United States beginning earlier this month, with a wider release planned. Last February CBS Films picked up the United States domestic distribution rights to the film, paying in the reported range of four million dollars. Signing up for the Stittsville Rotary International

Film Series 2014 by purchasing a pass for the four films to be shown is a lot like being there at the Cannes Film Festival or at the Toronto International Film Festival – at least for one Thursday night a month for four months, from January through April, 2014. For instance, the first film on the schedule, slated for Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014, is a film “The Hunt” that was shown at both the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. And what a film! At the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, its lead actor, Mads Mikkelsen, won the Best Actor Award. So you know that the performance by this Danish actor is superb. In “The Hunt,” a Danish drama film, Mads Mikkelsen stars as a man who becomes the target of mass hysteria after being wrongly accused of sexually assaulting a child. The film won the 2013 Nordic Council Film Prize and has been selected as the Danish entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2014 Academy Awards this coming March. So, this film “The Hunt” will give you the viewing experience of the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and the Academy Awards all in one. And all right here at the Landmark Theatres at the Kanata Centrum in Kanata, just minutes from home. “The Hunt” and “Inside Llewyn Davis” are just two of the films that you will see if you purchase a pass for this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014. You will also see “Gloria,” a Spanish/Chilean film about a divorcee who loves dance and romance but is facing the realty of aging that will be screened on Thursday, March 20; and “The Lunchbox,” a film from India whose actors include Irfan Khan who performed in both “Life of Pi” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” to be shown on Thursday, April 24. What an internationally diverse series of films these four films are and they are all available for viewing for just the $40 cost of a pass. And, what’s even better, the pass is fully transferable so if you cannot attend one of the screenings, you can give the pass to a family member or friend for their use. They also make great gifts for that film lover that you may know! Passes for the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and at the Wes Zacharuk Insurance Group Inc. The Cooperators at 62 Stonehaven Drive in the Brildewood area of Kanata. The passes are available through cash or cheque payments only. Leo Maiorino of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa is a major sponsor of this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014. Other sponsors include Theresa Qadri of Coldwell Banker, Wes Zacharuk of The Cooperators and the Gaia Java Coffee Company.

News - New zoning for Hazeldean Road between Iber Road and West Ridge Drive/Kittiwake Drive in Stittsville is going to allow auto-related uses. Initially, the proposed rezoning for this section of Hazeldean Road implementing the Arterial Mainstreet designation for the road contained in the city’s Official Plan was not permitting automobile-related uses for new development. However, at Ottawa city council’s planning committee meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 10, the committee passed a motion that the rezoning be changed to include automobile-related uses in keeping with the policies for its Arterial Mainstreet designation. In addition, the motion, which was moved by city of Ottawa councillor

Shad Qadri of the Stittsville ward, directed city staff to review the rezoning proposal before it goes to the full city council for approval on Wednesday, Jan. 22 to determine whether further provisions are necessary pertaining to automobile-related uses in order to ensure effective implementation of the road’s Arterial Mainstreet designation. The Official Plan states that “New gas bars, service stations, automobile sales and drive-thru facilities are permitted on Arterial Mainstreets…” Originally the proposed rezoning of this section of Hazeldean Road had prohibited such automobile-related uses but the policy outlined in the Official Plan makes it clear that such auto-related uses should be allowed under an Arterial Mainstreet zoning.

Museum selling calendars Special to the News

News - St. Clare’s Catholic Church at Dwyer Hill, the Stewart house (former Dr. Ken Hartin home) in Richmond, the Dr. Robert Chanonhouse home in Richmond and the Jock River in Richmond – they have something in common now. They are all among the photographs featured in the 2014 calendar which has been prepared by the Goulbourn Museum and is now for sale. These landscape-type scenes are joined by other photos depicting various activities and artefacts associated with the Goulbourn Museum – handwritten postcards from the early 1900’s, the March Break Camp Curator program at the Museum, a 1950’s era tricycle that is a Museum artefact, a Halloween workshop at the Museum and a pair of oldtime skates. The calendar also features, for the month of August, a giant yellow sunflower to represent Goulbourn’s agricultural heritage as well as a photograph, both for November and also on the calendar’s front cover, of the Long Service and Good Conduct medals earned by Richmond native Clarence Evelyn Rielly for his ser-

vice in both World Wars. These are the medals which the Goulbourn Museum was able to purchase and add to its collection thanks to the generosity of community members last August. For the month of January, the calendar features a scene at the historic postal wicket at the Ashton General Store. With this new 2014 Goulbourn Museum calendar, as you go through the months of the new year, you will be able to enjoy one of these photographs hanging right there on your wall, all photographed by Goulbourn Museum staff. These 2014 calendars are available at $10 each from the Museum’s gift shop and also at the Ashton General Store. All proceeds from the sale of these calendars will go towards improving the Museum’s exhibitions and programs as well as caring for the Museum’s collection and its efforts to document and publicize the history of the former Goulbourn township. For more information about the Goulbourn Museum or about these 2014 calendars, please visit the website www.goulbournmuseum.ca or call 613-831-2393.

It had been uncertain if she was going to be able to be there as she had undergone chemotherapy just two days prior to the event. But she made it and was simply overwhelmed by the support that she

Decorating boxes for Food Bank Special to the News

News - A group of Facebook friends gathered at Stittsville Sobeys on Wednesday evening, Dec. 11 to wrap and decorate boxes for the Stittsville Food Bank’s Christmas hamper program. Recently Stittsville Guides had visited the Food Bank where they put Christmas wrapping on a number of boxes to be used for the hamper program. But there is still a need for more and in response to this appeal, this group of Facebook friends got together for a couple of hours of wrapping the boxes. In addition, some of the youngsters involved created artwork which was added to the boxes as well. Tim LaPlante of Stittsville Sobeys offered the use of the receiving area at his store for this task. He also provided boxes for the project.

Group has heads shaved to show support John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - School mates, team mates and friends have all come together to support grade three student Devan Kelly who is battling cancer. They have shown their support by having their heads shaved in a gathering at a Stittsville home last Sunday morning. Devan, who attends Ecole Jean-Paul II in Stittsville, has himself lost his hair as a result of his chemotherapy treatments. So 13 of his friends from school and hockey all took the plunge and had their heads shaved in support of him. Parents did the head shaving at last Sunday’s gathering, with the first step for the youngsters after the shaving being a mirror which produced howls of awe at their new look. All of this started at the beginning of September when a neighbour noticed a lump on Devan’s neck. It was thought to be perhaps an insect swelling or an infection but tests determined that it was stage one lymphoma cancer. This has resulted in chemotherapy treatments that will continue until after Christmas. Devan, who is a hockey player, was at CHEO when the Ottawa Senators visited the hospital last week, getting to meet them – quite a treat! Because of his treatments and his decreased immune system, Devan is JOHN CURRY/METROLAND not able to attend school right now School mates, team mates and friends of Devan Kelly, who is battling cancer, who got together last Sunday morning to have their heads or to play hockey.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - My sister Audrey, I thought, was the smartest girl at the Northcote School. And I knew for a fact she was the smartest of us five children. Couldn’t she braid grass, knit dishcloths, do cross-stitch on tea towels, and recite the Lord’s Prayer and the 23rd Psalm without forgetting a word? So that day in December it was my very clever sister Audrey who told me a secret about our mother that I believed with all my heart to be the gospel truth. It also explained why Mother did the things she did on occasion. Audrey said there was a perfectly good reason why Mother’s mind sometimes seemed to be a million miles away around Christmas time. I certainly was aware that her thoughts often seemed to be somewhere else, especially when I asked her a question about our own Christmas which was coming up, an occasion which filled me with great anticipation. The day I asked her if she thought if I wrote a special letter to Santa Claus, and asked him for a pair of white galoshes with real fur down the fronts, just like bad Marguirite had, would I get them? I saw a sadness come over her face. She didn’t answer right away, and when she did, I noticed a catch in her throat, as if she was going to cough, and she said I had to remember that Santa had a long list of children who wanted some things he just couldn’t supply. I knew then, I wouldn’t be seeing the white rubber galoshes with the fur down their fronts. I wasn’t too sure what Mother had to do with Santa’s decision. But I soon understood what my sister meant when she said sometimes our mother’s mind was a million miles away. It was the middle of December. It was time to put up the few decorations we had. There

Mother’s memories made her sombre during the holidays

was the braided rope made of thin cardboard loops glued together and strung across the kitchen, corner to corner. There were the two hand-made wreaths for the frosted kitchen windows, and the big picture of Santa thumbtacked to the stairwell door. Mother sat and looked at what had been done to try to make the kitchen (the only room in the house warm enough to sit in during the winter), presentable for the holiday season, and she let out a long sigh. Audrey said Mother was remembering the many Christmas decorations she had when she lived in New York, and which she had described to my sister. Things like silver bells for the outside of the door, candlesticks made of pure white wax, and glass holders in the shape of small pine trees for the dining room table. We didn’t even have a dining room on the farm in Northcote. Audrey said this time of year Mother tried, but couldn’t get her Christmases in New York out of her mind. She remembered shopping in Macy’s Department Store, having money to buy just about anything she wanted, glass decorations for the big tree in the parlour, and wrapping paper and ribbon in every colour in the rainbow to wrap the many presents she would buy. After Audrey explained it, I understood that Mother secretly pined for all she had left behind in her beloved New York to come to the backwoods of Renfrew County, where every penny was hard-earned. Instead of going to the city bank for money, Mother went to the blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard to take out a few pennies from her “egg money.” My sister said it was sometimes a sad time for Mother, even though the rest of the family was all caught up in the Christmas spirit out 1219.R0012474178

there in Renfrew County. Audrey said I wasn’t to think it was anything I had done to make mother sad. That made me feel better. Not a lot better, but a little better just the same. Audrey said to me that I was to try to make our mother forget about her life in that far-away city, and it had nothing to do about being good she said. It had everything to do with trying to keep Mother’s mind busy in our home out there in Northcote. I asked Audrey how I could do that, and being clever like she was, my sister had the perfect answer. I was to say often how pretty the kitchen was with its hand-made paper streamers stretched across the room, how I loved the smell of her mincemeat pies, and how I loved going into Renfrew with her when she delivered her wares door to door. That seemed simple enough to me. I like to think it worked, as I took my wise sister’s advice to heart. That year was not unlike any other Christmas on the farm during those lean Depression days. As the day grew closer, Mother’s mood changed. Baking consumed many hours. We five children could hardly contain our excitement. The Christmas concert was ahead of us, the smell of the big pine tree already in the corner of the kitchen filled the room, and there were whispers of secrets not to be shared. There was joy in the house. We would be celebrating the true meaning of Christmas in the Lutheran Church, neighbours would come and go, and we would return their visits. And Mother, for a time, put behind her the memories of another time and another place. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Here’s a Christmas dinner for you! Special to the News

News - Do you love Christmas dinner but are alone, a shut-in or otherwise unable to enjoy this great tradition, perhaps because you have no one to share the experience with? Well, thanks to Nancy Evoy-Veilleux and her family, there’s a Christmas Day dinner just waiting for you. She is hosting a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day, Wednesday, Dec. 25, running from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. It is a free dinner being put on for those in the Richmond and Munster areas who would not be enjoying a Christmas dinner in a family, sociable setting if it were not for an opportunity like this.

You might be a meals-onwheels client or a patron of the Food Bank. Or you might just be alone and have no one with whom to share such a Christmas dinner experience. But now you have this opportunity. And what is great is that there is no charge for this meal. There is eat-in at the hall or takeout or even delivery – yes, delivery if that is needed. Or, if you are unable to get to the hall by yourself due to physical limitations, arrangements will be made to have someone pick you up and drop you off afterwards. For anyone who would like to attend this Christmas Day Christmas dinner, it is not too late to contact Nancy EvoyVeilleux at 613-838-5032 or via email at nancy.veilleux@

bell.net and have your place at the dinner assured. However, you are asked to contact Nancy by this Friday, Dec. 20 if possible so that enough food can be prepared for everyone wanting to attend. You may be hesitant to call for any number of reasons but you can rest assured that if you attend, you will be warmly welcomed by people who just want to enjoy a Christmas dinner with you. In addition, anyone with children should let Nancy know the name, age and sex and any gift ideas. This is because Santa Claus has said that he will be dropping in for a visit to this Christmas dinner and Nancy wants to make sure that all children there will get a little something from Santa that day.

‘Lunch with Santa’ at St. Philip’s Youngsters lined up to get an opportunity to visit with Santa in his red chair, forming a line that stretched almost the whole length of the hall. Yes, Santa is one popular fellow! After seeing Santa, each youngster was given a bag of goodies including candy canes by one of Santa’s helpers. Besides Santa’s visit, this “Lunch with Santa� saw everyone enjoy a lunch of hot dogs and enjoy a juggling show put on by Adam and Michael McSheffrey. Another highlight of the event was the making of gingerbread houses.

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There’s something magical, it seems, about the song “Here Comes Santa Claus.� Magical in the sense that sometimes when it is sung, Santa Claus suddenly appears. This is what happened at the “Lunch with Santa� event at the St. Philip Parish Hall in Richmond last Sunday when the singing of “Here Comes Santa Claus� had barely begun when Santa Claus appeared, walking into the hall and slowly making his way to the big red chair that was sitting there on the hall’s stage, in front of a Christmas tree.

Fun with Santa at St. Philip’s Continued from page 60

This was thanks to the generosity of Joe at the Richmond Bakery who donated all of the gingerbread house pieces. The youngsters then had a ball creating the houses and decorating them. Admission to this “Lunch with Santa” which was hosted by the Knights of Columbus of St.

Philip Parish was a food or cash donation for the Richmond Food Bank. “Here Comes Santa Claus,” that magical song, was first recorded in 1947 by Gene Autry, who also wrote the song. Over the years, it has been recorded by a myriad of singing stars such as Elvin Presley, Doris Day, Bing Crosby, Willie Nelson, Mariah Carey, the cast of Glee and even Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Continued from page 1

Lions Club member Paul Riddell brought up the matter at the meeting, noting that Nancy Therrien, who runs Stittsville Glass & Signs with her husband Luc Therrien, is facing expenses related to her battle against cancer and yet the couple has no insurance to cover these. For instance, to prevent the blood clots which her form of lung cancer produces, Nancy must have a shot every day. The cost of five such shots is $495. And these shots have to continue daily until the cancer goes away or is in total remission. Nancy also has to take some pills with just three of them costing over $100. Lion Riddell noted that the situation facing Nancy Therrien fits in with the Lions mission to provide help to those in need in the community. “That’s what we’re here for, is help people in need,” he said in urging the Club to make the $1,000 donation to help Nancy Therrien which the Club did. It was early this fall when Nancy Therrien, who has run Stittsville Glass & Signs in partnership with her husband Luc for the past 13 years, went for an MRI scan because she had been experiencing back problems. Shortly after this, before hearing any results, she had to be rushed to hospital with breathing problems. This led to a diagnosis of lung cancer, with the breathing problems caused by blood clots circulating all through her body. It was said that she probably had only 48 hours or so to live had she not arrived at the hospital when she did. It turns out that these blood clots are a byproduct of her lung cancer which is not caused by smoking but is a non-smokers version of lung cancer. A large tumour was found on her lung, a tumour which the earlier MRI scan ended up detecting as well. Because of the size of the tumour, surgery is not possible at this time. So, it means an aggres-

sive program of chemotherapy and then radiation to try to shrink the tumour and drive it into remission. And so Nancy had begun her chemotherapy treatments, twice a month, with the hope that a January CT scan will show that the tumour is smaller and radiation can be started. What is really worrying Nancy and her husband Luc is how they are going to pay for some of the additional shots and pills that she requires to fight this form of lung cancer. As long struggling small business people, young and not expecting such disastrous health news, they have never subscribed to any additional health coverage. Perhaps they should have but there were always so many other bills and expenses that needed paying. This means that they are facing some pretty serious financial bills. That’s why a bank account has been opened at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville where donations to help out Nancy Therrien can be made. The bank account number to quote when making such a donation at the branch is 3281 6140429. Or if you just identify the donation as being for Nancy Therrien and her battle against cancer, your donation will be directed to the right spot. And while the odds of recovering from her form of lung cancer are only a 20 percent survival rate, Nancy feels that her youth (she’s only 45 years old) is on her side. Her youth allows her to undergo larger doses of chemotherapy, for instance. She also is so happy that she has two doctors who she says are willing to fight “tooth and nail” to help her beat this lung cancer. This involves aggressive chemotherapy and radiation but this is her only option. Nancy still does not know why she has this lung cancer. She did smoke when she was young but is a longtime non-smoker. She remains confident that she will make it through this health challenge, putting a lot of faith in the belief that God does not send a person a challenge that the person cannot handle.

Heartbreaker for Royals John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Things were looking good for the Stittsville Royals going into the third period of last Sunday’s Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville against the visiting Almonte Thunder. The Royals were up 2-0, having outshot the visitors by a 21-18 margin. Derek Verrin had scored for the Royals in the first period, assisted by Steve Genier and Kevin Groulx. Jordan Cale added a second Royals goal in the second period to make it 2-0 for the home team, with Steve Genier and Alex Hulford earning assists. And while the Royals outshot the Thunder by a 14-8 margin in the final period, it was the Thunder who did all the scoring, tallying three times on Royals goalie Quinten Abrams to snatch victory in the game. The Thunder had tied it up at the 15:43 mark and then less

than a minute later, at 16:34, scored the go-ahead and ultimate winning goal on a power play after the Royals’ Kevin Groulx had taken a cross checking penalty at the 16:07 mark. This loss came on the heels of another one goal loss for the Royals as the team fell 6-5 to the Metcalfe Jets in a game in Metcalfe last Friday night. Stittsville had led 1-0 after the first period but the Jets scored four times in the second period to take a 4-3 lead into the final period. The teams both scored two goals in the third period as Metcalfe emerged with a 6-5 win. The Jets peppered 51 shots at Royals goalie Patrick Kealey while the Royals directed 49 shots at the Metcalfe net. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Alex Hulford with two goals and Derek Verrin, Kevin Groulx and Jordan Cale with one goal apiece. Joey Laird of the Royals picked up three assists in the game while Alex Hulford added two assists to his two goals for a four point night.

Other Royals to earn assists were Jake Oliver and Kevin Groulx. The Stittsville Royals are currently in fifth place in the six team Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Royals have a record of 9 wins, 14 losses and 3 overtime losses in 26 games to date, good for 20 points. The Renfrew Timberwolves lead the Valley Division with 32 points, followed by Arnprior Packers with 28 points, Almonte Thunder with 25 points and Perth Blue Wings with 24 points. The Shawville Pontiacs are in sixth place with 17 points. The Stittsville Royals will be hosting the Arnprior Packers in an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game this Sunday, Dec. 22 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. On Saturday, Dec. 28, the Stittsville Royals will be playing the Shawville Pontiacs in an 8:30 p.m. game at the Mlacak Arena in Kanata.

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

Happy Holidays & Best Wishes for 2014!

A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side;

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead.

News - A Stittsville area John Deere dealership has gotten the city’s nod to move to a new location in West Carleton, despite city staff’s advise to refuse the proposal. The Nortrax John Deere dealership currently on Cardevco Road off Carp Road near Richardson Sideroad is moving to a new, expanded location at 190 David Manchester Rd., nearby the new Play Value Toys location that faced a similar rezoning supported by councillors – but not city staff – last year. City planner Laurel McCreight said there is already more than 100 years worth of supply of vacant employment land in the rural area, so the dealership could find appropriate land that’s already zoned to allow something like a heavy equipment dealership. It’s not that simple, said Janet Bradley, a planning lawyer working on behalf of Nortrax. “In a nutshell, this property is very unique and unusual,” she said. The company has spent three years looking for a piece of land like this in the Ottawa area and this meets the bill, Bradley

A breakfast will be held on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone in the community is welcome. Come and enjoy a great family breakfast. The Stittsville Royals of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League are hosting the Renfrew Timberwolves on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. The 2014 annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society will be held on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014 at the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street in Richmond. Luncheon at 12 noon followed by the AGM around 1 p.m. Cost of the luncheon is $15 per person. Please reserve your place at the luncheon by emailing goulbournhistoricalsociety@ gmail.com.

said. It’s bounded by Highway 7 on one side, a utility corridor on the other side, and the only things nearby are a quarry and the Capital City Speedway, which won’t be bothered by flatbed trucks bringing in heavy farming and construction equipment, she said. The rocky land is partially covered with scrub forestry and couldn’t be farmed, she added. Cam Tyhurst, general manager of Nortrax, said the site’s easy access to Highway 7, Highway 417 and Highway 416 make it ideal to deliver products to the catchment area of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Members of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee agreed with Nortrax during its Dec.5 meeting. They voted to allow the rezoning, pending final approval by the full city council. “If you’re looking in a perfect world this would be a perfect place to locate a business because of the proximity to roads,” said the committee chairmen, Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson. He questioned whether city staff considers the actual development capabilities of the amount of employment lands the

city has designated. Sometimes those lands aren’t developable, he said, or they just don’t meet the needs of rural businesses. “Sometimes the figures are questionable,” Thompson said. “Sometimes in these cases we have to look at where in fact is a good location to put a business.” The dealership plans to keep as much of the vegetation on site as possible and it will even dig pits in the rock so it can plant large coniferous and deciduous trees along the perimeter so they can grow large enough to provide a buffer. That pleased West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who wanted to ensure the area “still has a beautiful entrance to the City of Ottawa” as motorists arrive along Highway 7 from the valley west of the city. He went to great pains to show he supports the rezoning application from Nortrax. “To John Deere, we are happy and grateful you chose our city,” El-Chantiry said. “What better fit for a John Deere business (than) to be in a rural area?” Tyhurst said the committee’s support obviously made his company happy. “We’ve been a year and a half working on this project,” Ty-

hurst said. “We’ve had spent numerous time, energy and dollars with the application work with the city and nearby residents to ensure that everybody is happy with the location.” The city didn’t receive any comments from the public about the rezoning application. Bradley pointed out the city would collect around $550,000 in development charges related to the relocation. Construction should begin in the spring, Tyhurst said. Allowing the dealership to move and expand would enable the $7.2 million construction project to go ahead, creating 175 construction jobs, Bradley said. The existing 35 employees will keep their jobs at the dealership and it will eventually hire 8 to 12 additional workers, she added. The current facility has been located at 189 Cardevco Rd. for around 20 years, Tyhurst said. The expanded facility wouldn’t offer any new equipment. “It’s the same product, just more of it,” Tyhurst said. Nortrax sells construction and forestry equipment from John Deere and some other brands, including backhoe loaders, harvesters, loaders and other heavy equipment.
