President hopes construction of new Legion will begin in May Continued from page 1

It also needs approval from the legion’s provincial command. She is hoping that the project will be able to start this coming May with completion in October. The legion will be upgrading its furnishings for the hall, but initially the furniture from the existing building may be used in the new building as a cost-saving measure. This new building came about when the legion two years ago looked at the possibility of renovating its current facility to be a safer and healthier environment for both its members and the community. However, renovation was found to be not feasible due to the possibility of asbestos, mould and mechanical systems that might not be up to current building code requirements. That’s when a decision was made to tear down the legion hall, which was built in 1932, and replace it on the same site. This decision to build led to developing plans for such a facility, including production of artists’ renderings which were shown at the Rotary

meeting. Campbell compared the look of the new building as similar to the GoodLife Fitness building on Carp Road. Its exterior will feature military silhouettes on the exterior so that it is identifiable as a legion hall. There will be an elevator and a patio facing Stittsville Main Street along with the area for rental professional offices. Campbell pointed out that the Stittsville community is growing and there will be an expected influx of military personnel with the new Department of National Defence facility in the west end of Ottawa. With the new building, the Stittsville Legion will be able to grow with the community and be able to offer a family-friendly, welcoming environment while continuing to provide programs and services for veterans, military personnel and community organizations and groups including youth, seniors and cadets. The legion annually provides up to $15,000 in post-secondary bursaries for area youth, funded by the legion’s poppy campaign at Remem-

The Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion is a volunteer run organization that began in the late 1960s. The current legion hall, which was built as Stittsville’s Orange Lodge, was purchased by the fledgling Stittsville Legion from the Orange Lodge in 1967 and has served as the legion hall since then.

‘Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?’” And from that the seed was planted for the idea that eventually evolved into the All That Glam fundraisers in which gently-used jewelry and handbags are slod to raise money for Nunavut school breakfast programs.

The fifth annual All That Glam fundraiser is all set for this coming weekend when the fundraiser that helps school breakfast programs in Nunavut in Canada’s North is held on Saturday, Nov. 25. Stittsville’s Eva Von Jagow came up with the idea for the All That Glam fundraiser after helping her mother clean out her closet and jewelry box. According to the All That Glam website, “like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. “That’s when Eva thought,

Carp Rd. widening project still years away: Coun. Qadri BY BRIAN DRYDFEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Stittsville residents and the community’s city councillor may want Carp Rd. to be widened as soon as possible, it now appears that won’t be happening any time soon. “While I do understand that

many residents have been hoping that Carp Rd would undergo widening in the near future, unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the widening of Carp Rd is not in the foreseeable future until at least 2020,” Coun. Shad Qadri said. Instead the city has at least decided to pave a stretch of the

shoulders of Carp.

Turning light changes at Carp and Hazeldean subject of online survey BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Stittsville residents who have been calling for advance left turning lights be installed for those travelling eastbound on Hazeldean onto Carp (north toward Hwy. 417) and northbound on Carp onto Hazeldean (west) are being asked to take an online survey that puts forward two options for that intersection. City staff have in the past reviewed the intersection and have downplayed the need for

tion staff to allocate funding for this project,” Qadri said. “Stittsville is rapidly growing and the city needs to ensure that we have the transportation routes necessary for residents to access Highway 417.” An Environmental Assessment Study for widening Carp Road (Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road) has already been completed and the next step is to complete the detail design phase of the project based on the recommended plan established by the EA study. “In Stittsville there is a large amount of growth taking place and we need to widen this road (Carp) to help accommodate this growth,” Qadri said. “I am reviewing the matter of the Development Charges further and will continue to push for this project date to be moved up,” he said.

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.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Season is open to everyone

t’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year is the title of a song first released in 1963, with Andy Williams as the singer. The song, which celebrates various activities of the Christmas season, particularly being with those you love, has become a holiday standard. In these days leading up to Dec. 25, the song serves to remind us of everything we have to look forward to at Christmas time. It’s a time when at least for a while we forget all the everyday matters that seem to intrude on our daily lives, making us cynical, upset or worried about where the world is going these days. Whether it is the current sexual harassment scandals that are plaguing Hollywood and Washington, the Donald Trump-Rocket Man war of words that fearfully could lead to real war, or, closer to home, the Salvation Army emergency shelter proposal for Vanier, there’s always something to keep us worried about our world and its future. The Christmas season, though, gives us a break from these worries and concerns. The time leading up to Christmas, with its many seasonal events and activities, serves to take our minds off these issues and get us

thinking about this “most wonderful time of the year.” These weeks include a plethora of Christmas craft fairs along with parades, Santa Claus appearances, concerts and, of course, that universal pastime that consumes all of us from now to Christmas Day, shopping. In today’s multicultural society of which our Prime Minister speaks so often, some might claim that Christmas is a Christian celebration that does not fit with the many faiths and cultural groups that make up the Canada of 2017. But such a claim would be wrong because Christmas is, at its very heart, not an event per se but a feeling, a time when family and friends and good wishes toward all take over our thoughts. This is a feeling that we all can share here in Canada. So, it really is “the most wonderful time of the year,” a time when we can celebrate what is most cherished in our lives, namely family and friends, and when we can all put aside our cynicism and worries and embrace what the Andy Williams song advocates with its lyric, “And everyone telling you to be of good cheer.” The Christmas season is now underway. Let’s all enjoy it.

The Grey Cup and that hometown feeling

he Grey Cup still matters. The Canadian Football League has had its ups and downs over the years, including a disastrous attempt to expand into the United States. Franchises have folded. But by and large, when Grey Cup time rolls around, Canadians show up and tune in. There’s no reason to expect it to be any different on Sunday when the 105th Cup game kicks off at TD Place in Ottawa. Among those watching will be the diehard fans who have kept up their interest in Canadian football through bad times and good. They will be holding the same Grey Cup party they’ve been throwing for years. They will be joined by the people who are not quite sure who is playing, but who always watch at Grey Cup time. Add them all up and

By one measurement, about 4 million Canadians that fewer Canadians pay attention to the Grey Cup than they did in, looked at last year’s game. That’s a lot, even by Stanley Cup standards. say, 1976, when the Ottawa Rough Why do they watch, those who are Riders won the cup, or 1962, when Winnipeg won the Fog Bowl.

But it’s also true that must be because they know everyfewer Canadians pay attention to one else is watching, that they are sharing a Canadian experience with any single event these days. In 1962, there were only two other Canadians. In this globalized world, how many opportunities are English TV channels.

no home computers, no internet — in general, a lot less competition for our interest. So if viewership is down, no wonder. Viewership for everything is down. Somehow, in the face of that, the Grey Cup survives, which is a major accomplishment. Communities still go out of their way to host it and show visitors a good time — well, maybe not so much last year in Toronto, but that’s an exception. It’s good to have it here. It will be interesting to see how Lansdowne Park, which has been a controversial addition to the Ottawa landscape, handles the many events leading up to the game. Hosting the Cup gives this year’s game a hometown feel, even without an Ottawa team in it. But a good Grey Cup game always has that hometown feel.

catch and Ottawa’s victory still remember it as happening at Lansdowne Park, even though it actually happened in Toronto. But it’s a small country, which is partly the point. A football game can unite us, even if it’s not played in the snow.

Survey input will determine future of new SBA special to the news

Results from a survey are going to determine how a voluntary business association in Stittsville will evolve, including even its name. Tentatively known as the Stittsville Business Association (SBA), the very first question in the survey asks about the proposed name and even seeks any alternative names. The survey was distributed at a breakfast meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14 attended by nearly 70 Stittsville business owners. Additional copies for any business owners who missed this meeting are available now at Bradley’s Insurance, Edward Jones (Daryl Metzger), McDonald’s and Mahogany Salon

and Spa. The survey can also be obtained by emailing acochran0808@gmail.com. Input from these surveys is going to be compiled to determine how the new SBA is shaped and what direction the new organization will take going forward. “We want to hear from you, what you want this to be,” SBA inaugural chairperson and meeting organizer Allan Ryan said about the survey. The survey seeks input from business representatives on topics including not only the group’s name but also about becoming a member, willingness to pay an annual membership

fee, the amount of any such membership fee, the frequency of SBA meetings, the most pressing issue facing a business and whether there is an interest in serving on the executive or volunteering at SBA fundraisers or community events. Possible activities of the SBA suggested in the survey include a shop local campaign, a business directory, network opportunities and supporting local community events. Suggestions about other possible activities were also sought in the survey. “We hope the new SBA would also do more promotional type events for local business, to bring awareness to the community of all business, especially new upstarts, and show the di-

versity of business right here in Stittsville to service your needs as consumers,” Ryan said after the meeting. The idea of a volunteer business association arose after a recent effort to create a more formal business improvement area (BIA) for Stittsville was rejected by the Stittsville business community. A BIA includes mandatory participation and an annual levy based on commercial property tax assessments. At the Nov. 14 meeting, a variety of local businesses were represented, ranging from food service, retail, professional services and beauty and health care enterprises.

Two Housing Design Awards for Amsted Design-Build Special to the News

Robert Phillips B.A. Hons, L.L.B

“The Travelling Lawyer”

Amsted Design-Build of Stittsville received two Housing Design Awards at the recent Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association annual awards gala. In addition, Amsted Design-Build was recognized as Ottawa’s Renovator of the Year for the seventh time. The Housing Design Awards were for a traditional-style custom kitchen under 180 square feet that involved a kitchen renovation that offered a matte colour palette offset by a red hutch and also for a renovation in the $200,001

to $350,000 category for a garage addition that added functionality to a home while balancing the scale of the home on the property. Amsted Design-Build has received the Renovator of the Year Award a record seven times including three times in the past four years.

Your monthly update on the Ottawa Senators Foundation news!

Every child deserves an opportunity to play For a child, there is nothing quite like stepping onto the ice for the first time. But for some children, those first few strides might be a little more difficult but after some practice, they start to get it. Unfortunately, whether it’s financial strain, physical challenges or social barriers many kids don’t have that chance.

That’s why the Ottawa Senators Foundation is committed to breaking down these barriers in the Ottawa area. This is the inspiration for the SENS RINK program.

To date, the Foundation has built 13 SENS RINKs (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids) in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. But the facilities themselves are just part of the initiative. SENS RINKS aren’t just for sports. They are community gathering spots. A place where families gather, where friendships are made and community pride is fostered. Alexander Park is one of the areas that has benefited from the SENS RINK so far. Earl Jones works closely with the community, and sees the effect of the facility first-hand.

“This SENS RINK is more than just a skating rink, it’s become a place for members of the community to come together and share their unique cultural backgrounds,” said Earl Jones, program coordinator, City of Ottawa. “Families will create lasting memories here. The SENS RINK is a gamechanger for this community.”

In addition to providing a place for kids to skate, play and discover the game of hockey, the Foundation also partnered with the City of Ottawa, Ville du Gatineau and other municipalities to deliver free or low-cost programs such as basketball, Futsal, tennis, lacrosse, summer camps and more. Many of the kids who benefit from the SENS RINKs programs may not have gotten the opportunity otherwise. Whether because of financial, geographical or social barriers, so many children experience limitations in learning the pleasure of sport. These programs provide them with the opportunity to learn new skills, such as teamwork, leadership and fair play which will open many doors down the road. Playing sports and being active provides kids with the physical, social and mental strength to set them up for success later in life. The feeling of belonging is something we all strive for, regardless of age. All kids deserve a chance to grow up knowing that they will always have a place to play.

Nicholas Sparks - in the right place at the right time Special to the News

Nicholas Sparks, who was the early owner of much of what is now downtown Ottawa, seemed to be in the right place at the right time in making his mark in Ottawa’s early years. His life was outlined in a presentation by Brian Hull, a descendant, at the November meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. In 1816, as a 24 year old in Ireland raising horses for the British army, Sparks saw the demand for horses for the army go down with the ending of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. So he decided to set off for North America. He went to Liverpool to get a ship to North America where he met Ruggles Wright, who had been sent there by his father Philemon Wright to get settlers and equipment for his settlement on the Ottawa River at the site of present-day Gatineau. Ruggles ended up paying for Sparks’ passage to North America, for which Sparks was indentured to Philemon Wright for five years to pay off the debt. Sparks’ knowledge of horses paid off as he looked after Wright’s horses, becoming virtually a part of the Wright family. He advanced and within four years was making trips to Montreal to get supplies there for Wright. In 1819, when the Duke of Richmond, who had become Britain’s top person in North America, was making his rounds of the colony’s military defences, he died from rabies in a barn just outside the new settlement of Richmond. It was Sparks who was sent by Philemon Wright to collect the Duke’s body which was then sent on to Quebec City where the body is buried under the altar of the Anglican Cathedral there. Then, with talk circulating about the possible construction of a canal linking Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River due to fear that the Americans could take the St. Lawrence River

and cut off that British supply route, an Englishman with no money for passage back to England to accept an inheritance tried to sell his 200 acres of land on the south shore of the Ottawa River opposite Wright’s settlement to Philemon Wright for 100 pounds sterling. Wright turned the offer down, calling the land a mosquito infested swamp. But Sparks, who was with Wright at the time, quickly offered to purchase the 200 acres for 95 pounds sterling. It was accepted and Sparks had purchased what is now the area of downtown Ottawa. Around this same time, Philemon Wright’s son was killed when his carriage overturned on the way back from Montreal. Sparks ended up marrying the widow, Sarah Olmstead Wright, with the couple initially living near Lake Leamy. Sarah, incidentally, was the distillery operator for Wright’s settlement. The British decided to go ahead with the talked-about canal in 1821. The initial idea was that the canal would follow a route along what is now Booth Street to reach the Ottawa River. However, the Governor General Lord Dalhousie came to believe that one of his officers, Lieutenant Lebreton, had used insider information to purchase the land where the new canal would reach the Ottawa River. He was upset about this and so changed the canal route to where it meets the Ottawa River today, east of Parliament Hill. This meant that the canal would go through Sparks’ land. Indeed, Sparks gave the land for the canal plus 200 feet on either side as a donation while the British did expropriate some other Sparks land as more land was needed for the canal and defence purposes. Sparks also sold off some of his land on present-day Wellington Street west of Bank Street. He got into the squared timber trade needed by the British navy but he also dealt in real estate.

can but he nonetheless headed the St. Patrick’s Society. He did, though, donate the land where the Christ Church Cathedral sits today, initially built as a modest church. Sparks, who died in 1862, was good friends with Colonel John By, builder of the Rideau Canal. His daughter Mary married Alonzo Wright, a future member of Parliament after whom a bridge over the Gatineau River is named today. Another daughter, Esther, married an unemployed surveyor named Slater after whom today’s Slater Street is named. Slater became the first superintendent of the canal after the British army relinquished control of it in 1855. He is buried at the Beechwood Cemetery. Among those at this historical society meeting were two descendants of Nicholas Sparks, just like presenter Brian Hull is. Bonnie Legare is a fifth generation descendant while Anne Sterling can trace her Sparks connection back to the Sarah Wright who married Nicholas Sparks.

Sparks eventually tried to get his land back since the British had taken it supposedly for defence purposes. Even John A. Macdonald, a friend of Sparks, had legislation passed in the Canada West legislature to get the land back but the legislature had no jurisdiction over the British army which was responsible for the canal. Eventually Sparks got a value of 27,000 pounds assigned to the land that had been taken from him. The British government would not pay this amount, so Sparks just got the land back. He ended up donating land for a market hall and Nepean town hall where the National Arts Centre is today. He also donated land for a courthouse and jail. Sparks was active in civic affairs, sitting on Ottawa municipal council. He also served as president of the St. Patrick’s Society which served the Roman Catholic community of Ottawa. Many of the Irish labourers who worked on the canal were Catholic. Sparks was an Angli-

Tickets available for film series Special to the News

The international film series hosted by the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville has more tickets available for the 2017-2018 program than in previous years. That’s because renovations at the Landmark Theatre at Kanata Centrum where the films are shown and the installation of recliner seats in the theatre has resulted in more seating. Although each individual theatre now seats only 107 viewers rather than 236 before the renovations, the number of seats available has increased because the Rotary Club has committed to three showings of a film (4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.) in three different theatres. This new arrangements means that there are 315 seats available for each showing, an increase of 70 seats over the number of seats available previously. In addition, movie night will now be Mon-

days rather than Wednesdays as before. Ticket price for the regular five-film series will be $5 per person while the new three-film fall series will see a ticket go for $35 each. If a person opts for the combined pack of both the fall three-film series and the spring five-film series, cost of a ticket is $80 per person. Different coloured tickets for each time slot will be made available. The films have been chosen by the local Rotary committee but the selection still has to be approved by the Toronto International Film Festival and Landmark Theatres. The Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville is providing an opportunity to purchase tickets for this international film series this Saturday, Nov. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Vardera Café in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

November 23, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Carp and Hazeldean Traffic Light Survey For some time, residents have been reaching out to my office regarding the traffic lights at Carp and Hazeldean Rd, requesting that advance left turning lights be installed travelling Eastbound on Hazeldean onto Carp (North toward the 417) and Northbound on Carp onto Hazeldean (West toward Sobeys). I have been reviewing the matter with Traffic staff and would like to present residents with a poll on what options might be feasible to pursue further with staff. Residents are asked to provide feedback on their support for the possible integration of: 1) An Eastbound Hazeldean advance left traffic light 2) A new Northbound advance left traffic light to run simultaneously with the existing Southbound Carp advance left traffic light 3) Both 4) Neither More information on the details of these proposals is available on my website along with the poll itself at https://shadqadri.com/ 2017/11/17/carp-and-hazeldean-traffic-light-survey/ I encourage residents to vote on this poll to share your thoughts with my office in a way that will allow me to communicate the information easily with traffic staff as to preferred options. Please note that the results of this poll are solely for measuring the input of residents and do not guarantee that either option will be implemented.

Snowy setting for Museum’s market Special to the News

An overnight snow storm, the first of the season, painted the landscape white, adding a final seasonal touch to the Old Fashioned Christmas and Outdoor Artisan Market hosted by the Goulbourn Museum on Sunday, Nov. 19. This year, due to ongoing renovation work happening at the Goulbourn Museum building right at Stanley’s Corners, this event was relocated just a little farther along Huntley Road at the former Goulbourn municipal building. The large white tent housing the various artisans at the event was set up in the rear parking lot area of the former municipal building. Inside this tent were such artisan vendors as Tweed and Needle, Classy Carry-Alls and Harley’s Homemade Treats (for dogs). Also set up in the parking lot area was a smaller tent for Alan Rushford’s animatronics display where there was holiday music provided by Alan’s mobile organ, complimented by his associated and activated animals such as a blue moose and others. The parking lot area also featured a display by the For-

While I do understand that many residents have been hoping that Carp Rd would undergo widening in the near future, unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the widening of Carp Rd is not in the foreseeable future until at least 2020. In the meantime, it is my hopes that this project will help to ensure road conditions are maintained at a consistent quality for the benefit of community members who use the road moving forward until that time comes.

I am pleased to share that last weekend, the City had the shoulders paved on Carp Road from Kittiwake Drive to Westbrook This is a project that has been greatly anticipated by residents for some time. Originally, the shoulder-paving project was only planned from Rothbourne to Westbrook but working with the City, I was able to extend the project to start at Kittiwake as the shoulder was needed to be done in this section as well.

The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School is collecting for the Snowsuit Fund until Dec. 5. And you can help out by dropping off donations of good used snowsuits and/or money at the Nursery School at 27 Hobin St., Unit 1 (at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School) on Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. In the lobby, you will find a beautifully decorated box for your donations. This donation box was creatively decorated for this snowsuit fund drive by youngsters of the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School. The youngsters had fun doing this decorating. In addition, it showed the children that helping others in such a way can create a sense of connection

and belonging to the world that surrounds them. The Snowsuit Fund is in need of gently used winter outerwear of all sizes including adult, knitted articles, hats, mitts, boots of all sizes and, yes, monetary donations. Every year the Snowsuit Fund, located on Donald Street in Ottawa, receives about 16,000 requests for snowsuits for children up to the age of 15. It takes lots of donations of good used suits and money to meet this need. The Snowsuit Fund’s annual fundraising target is about $875,000. No child in need is turned away at the Snowsuit Fund. For more information about the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School, check out the website www. scns.ca or go to Facebook.

Fairwinds Winter Parking Pilot Project Update As many of you are aware, my office has been working with the Transportation Department, the Fairwinds Community Association and Fairwinds residents regarding a winter parking pilot project restricting on-street parking on some streets. The pilot project for this winter season has been finalized and residents can review the map on my website at shadqadri.com Residents can also review previous community updates which includes a Frequently Asked Questions document. As noted, this will be a pilot project for this winter season and in the Spring, we will review the project with the community and will be open to recommendations for changes for the future. The signage should be installed by December 1st and the parking restrictions will be in affect from December 1st to March 30th. I would like to thank the Fairwinds Community Association and residents for their feedback.

Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. 20 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 23, 2017

Rockets’ midget team wins tournament - again Special to the News

Winning the Cornwall Typhoon girls’ hockey tournament. Awesome. Going undefeated in five games to bring home this tournament championship. Dominating. Capturing this tournament for the second straight year. Priceless! This was the story for the Goulbourn Rockets midget girls hockey team at the recent Cornwall Typhoon tournament. Five games, five wins and the tournament championship. The Rockets met Gloucester in the championship final, both teams entering this game with virtually identical records. It was in the middle of the first period that Elizabeth Li of the Rockets took a punishing hit in the defensive zone while getting the puck to teammate Emma Whang who was off on a breakaway, scoring the opening goal of the game. It was a lead that the Rockets would not give up. Selected as the player of the game in this championship final was Makena Barker who scored in the second period. She led all players in the tournament with nine goals in the five games. The Rockets had reached the championship final on the Sunday of the tournament with a semifinal victory over Lac St. Louis, a team from the

Montreal area. The game was only a few minutes old when Eliza Porteous of the Rockets, set up in front of the Lac St. Louis net, deflected a shot from teammate Madi Wong and then banged home the puck for what turned out to be the game’s winning goal.

Abby Hall scored an empty-net goal to salt away the victory but it did not come easily as she had a Lac St. Louis player draped all over her on the play. It was Abby Hall who received player of the game honours in this match. The Goulbourn Rockets got

to the semifinals of the tournament by winning three round robin games. It started with a game against the Lac St. Louis team that it later faced in the semifinal game. In this initial meeting, the action went back and forth, with missed chances for both teams. But with only 15

seconds left in the game, Makena Barker scored for the Rockets, taking a pass from Abby Blauer from behind the Lac St. Louis net. This goal gave the Rockets a 1-0 victory. Makena’s winning goal came as a result of a play started by Julia Robertson with a great ‘D’

to 'D' pass. Indeed, it was Julia Robertson who ended up as being named player of the game for the Rockets. On the Saturday of the tournament, the Rockets went up against the two host Cornwall teams. The first game against the McCormick squad saw the Rockets completely dominate the action, with two Rockets players scoring hat tricks in the game. Katie Bootland and Madi Wong were particularly strong on defence for the Rockets. It was Sasha Mathieu who was named player of the game for the Rockets. The Rockets went on to play the Cornwall Turgeon team. This game saw the Rockets leading by only 1-0 heading into the third period. The Rockets escaped the game with a 2-0 victory but much of the credit for this must go to goalie Violet MacEwen for her numerous saves in net. Her spectacular play was recognized as she was named player of the game for the Rockets. Aliya Walker of the Rockets had a great tournament, putting forth an amazing effort all through the weekend. Her play is even more amazing considering that she is not only a rookie with the Rockets but she is a rookie to hockey, starting with the Rockets at the midget level.

Six houses, three businesses on Richmond Tour by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

In the Village of Richmond Holiday House and Business Tour on Saturday, Dec. 2, you will get to see view 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 its time and skill to decorate the six homes on the tour for this holidaythemed 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 only $9 but you will 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 be an antique cutter sleigh there which will be collecting gifts for local families in need. Each gift to be donated should be wrapped and labelled by age (ages up to 18 years old) and by gender (boy or girl). And 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 of Richmond, 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 on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. One of the homes on the tour is a replicated stone farm home built in 2011 that is the home of Brent Schouten and Katie Cleary at 5935 Malakoff Rd. just south of Richmond. Brent and Katie have added a stable and indoor riding arena to their property as Katie teaches horseback riding to both children and adults. Brent grew up on the family farm just down the road, a farm operation founded by his grandfather in 1957. Katie grew up in Pakenham. The home of Gisele and Peter Moore at 59 Fortune St. will be a must-visit on the tour not just because of the antique cutter sleight where toys are being collected but also because this home built in 2004 has four “wings,” looking like a butterfly from the air. The bungalow with over 5,000 square feet of living space sits on a five-acre lot. The interior will be decorated for the season, something that you will not want to miss. There’s another home on Fortune Street on the tour and that’s the home of Darryl and Carmel Dalgleish at 31 Fortune St. They have lived there since 1986, with the home backing onto green space and a small creek. Over the years Carmel has been known for the classically elegant holiday decorations. You won’t want to miss seeing this year’s decorations.

The two-storey Tudor manor style home of Sara and Greg McDonald at 45 Underhill Cres., custom built in the early 1980s in the Richmond Estates subdivision, is yet another must-see on the tour. They love entertaining at Christmas, so you know that you will experience a real Christmas glow when you enter this home. A festive theme created by Sonya Kinkade Design will be found at 51 Rochelle Dr. which is the location for The Living, a 2,420-square-foot contemporary model home designed by Christopher Simmonds and built by Kim Pijselman’s Cedarstone Homes which has been building homes in Richmond for 26 years now. Also on the tour is the home of Sonya Kinkade herself and her husband Daryl at 5948 Perth St. in Richmond. This has been their home for 23 years and each year it has been spectacularly decorated for Christmas as Sonya has fol-

Richmond Tour St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Continued from page 30

Demand for electricity in the South Nepean area has almost doubled since 2002. Over the next twenty years, electricity needs in this community are expected to more than double once again due to the pace of planned residential and commercial developments. To ensure South Nepean has the power to grow, Hydro Ottawa Limited (Hydro Ottawa) and Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) have started planning for new electricity facilities to serve your community’s growing needs. Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One are proposing to construct a new municipal transformer station (MTS) in South Nepean and to rebuild an existing single circuit 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line to a new double circuit line with 230 kV capacity. The rebuilt line would connect the new MTS to an existing 230 kV line south of West Hunt Club Road. This existing line connects to the Manotick station, which is on Bankfield Road directly east of the 416 interchange. Rebuilding the transmission line would require replacing the existing transmission structures and widening the corridor in certain locations. A temporary by-pass line would be constructed in order to maintain power supply to local residents during construction. The Power South Nepean project is being planned in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Minor Transmission Facilities, approved under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA is a streamlined process that has proven effective in ensuring that minor transmission projects that have a predictable range of effects are planned and carried out in an efficient and environmentally-acceptable manner. This project will also require approval from federal agencies under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Contingent on the completion of the Class EA process and other planning approvals, Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One will submit an application to the Ontario Energy Board seeking approval to construct the project. It is anticipated that construction of these new facilities could begin in 2020 and be in service in 2021. Consultation and public input is an important part of the project planning process and your opinions matter. My apologies for the short notice but a Community Information Session will take place on Thursday November 23rd from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Minto Recreation Complex (Cambrian Hall).

Ritchie Feed and Seed at 5901 Ottawa St. is now in its fourth year in Richmond, occupying the former Lalonde Gardens premises at the corner of Ottawa Street and Eagleson Road. Twinkling Christmas lights and winter greenery will be a delight for your eyes at this location. The other business on the tour is The Village Shoppe which is now located at 6054 Perth St. which is the former After Harvest building. Owner Susan Rabb carries Canadian-made products as well as items from a number of local artisans. She also carries fair trade, upcycled and quality imported items as well. Those visiting The Village Shoppe will be able to enjoy a coffee bar while also taking enjoying the aromatic scented candles. There will be free hot apple cider for tour visitors as well as treats to nibble on. The store will be decorated for Christmas to add to the overall seasonal atmosphere that will pervade the premises on tour day. Besides these six homes and three businesses, 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. There are only 200 tickets available for this Village of Richmond Holiday House and Business Tour on Saturday, Dec. 2. Tickets are available through Eventbrite at $25 each. There will be a starting point for the self-guided tour where participants will pick up a tour guide brochure and tour bracelet, and then be on their way.

Larga Baffin serves Indigenous peoples who are Inuit, First Nation and Métis, with clients flown to Ottawa from any of 12 different communities in the Qikiqtani Region of Nunavut. These communities include Iqaluit, Grise Fiord, Resolute Bay, Arctic Bay, Pond Inlet, Clyde River, Qikiqtarjuaq, Pangnirtung, Kimmirut, Cape Dorset, Igloolik and Hall Beach. These clients of Larga Baffin speak their native language which is Inuktitut.

Those staying at Larga Baffin House which is on Richmond Road in Ottawa are transported to and from health care facilities and services in Ottawa by Larga Baffin vans.

Holiday happenings

ner of Perth Street and McBean Street, where the recently-created children’s winter street banners will be formally unveiled.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond continues to support Larga Baffin, a residence for Indigenous peoples from Nunavut who are in Ottawa to receive health care services not available in Nunavut. St. Andrew’s has been supporting Larga Baffin for a number of years, collecting toiletries on an ongoing basis to donate to Larga Baffin House on Richmond Road in Ottawa. Everything from shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, body lotion, shaving cream and more are donated on a weekly basis. In addition, St. Andrew’s holds a special annual mission drive collecting a specific needed item as identified by Larga Baffin. Last year St. Andrew’s donated over 69 pairs of slippers for use by clients of Larga Baffin House. This year the need specified by Larga Baffin House is for diapers from newborn to toddler size. So members of the congregation at St. Andrew’s is now in the process of fundraising to provide these diapers to Larga Baffin House. A singalong concert with the “Forever Friends” singing group was held on Nov. 17 to kick off this fundraising, with a free-will offering collected at the event going to this diaper initiative. The church has also set up a diaper bag at the church for cash donations for the purchase of diapers. In addition, members of the congregation are being urged to donate a box of diapers for the cause.

Community Challenge for Xmas 2017 – Can you do it? Ok! It’s hard to believe but Christmas is already upon us! I know a few of you have already done your lists and maybe even your shopping but for those of you (like me) who have not even begun to think about, I have a fun challenge for you!

Fundraising concert for Larga Baffin House Special to the News

Music filled St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond on Friday evening, Nov. 17. It was thanks to the musical group Forever Friends who presented a singalong concert at the church to help raise funds via a free-will offering for the church’s support of Larga Baffin House that provides a safe and secure place for Indigenous peoples from the far north to stay when in Ottawa for medical treatment. The group began its performance with a

most appropriate song for a church setting, One Day at a Time, the country and western style Christian song first recorded and made a hit by American country and gospel singer Marilyn Sellars in 1974. It’s a song which since then has been recorded by over 200 artists. The song includes the lyrics “One day at a time, sweet Jesus/That’s all I’m asking from you.” Forever Friends followed this opening song up with another song with a religious reference of sorts, in the form of a love song with reference to an angel. It was My Special

Angel, a 1957 hit for Bobby Helms with lyrics such as “You are my special angel/Sent from up above/The Lord smiled down on me/And sent an angel to love.” My Special Angel was followed by the 1951 Nat King Cole million-selling smash hit Too Young as Forever Friends delivered yet another tune familiar to many in the audience. Members of Forever Friends include Geoff Lahaise, who grew up in Richmond, Sharon Lahaise, Jim Smyth, James Robertson, Isabelle Robertson and Chuck Colford. 2018 CALENDAR

So what if each of us set a theme to our shopping this year – a priority to hone in on, give ourselves some parameters and maybe even bring back a little more authentic joy and excitement to our gift giving season. The theme? Shop Local. I know! You’ve heard it before and you know all the reasons to shop local; • Every dollar spent locally strengthens the local economy and generates local revenue • Local businesses hire our friends and neighbours who in turn support our community • Local businesses support our charities, sport teams and allow us to build amenities • Local businesses support other local businesses thereby generating greater prosperity • Local businesses offer high quality service and value added advice and support • Supporting local business today ensures future access to quality products and services • Encouraging local entrepreneurship stimulates innovation and unique offerings • Buying local is good for the environment, ultimately less expensive and feels good • Buying local creates a mindfulness in spending, an experience in shopping and opens the opportunity for building new relationships Our local businesses work hard and risk much to offer us easy access to diverse products and quality service. It has been a particularly challenging year for our businesses in terms of new legislation and rapid change in the marketplace. So let’s celebrate more together and make this the year for getting back to community – setting a new trend and finding a way to enjoy this holiday season while contributing to our future and our community, friends and neighbours.

In our world of rampant consumerism, hectic schedules and competing priorities, shopping has become a sport. And at Christmas, it is an elite sport! We are so fortunate to live in a world of so much choice. But this much choice provides challenge as well. In fact, research shows that our plethora of choices, can leave us feeling overwhelmed and more unsatisfied than if we had practically no choice at all. What???

Are you up for the challenge? Here it is! Can you dedicate 80-90 or even 100% of our holiday spending to local businesses? For gifts, food and experiences? Yes? Fantastic! We want to help!

Tyler Sparling - an urban 4H member by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

The Government Keeps Failing Our Students This week I voted against the Liberals back to work legislation that will force Ontario college teachers to end the College Strike. I did this because the government has failed our students by not taking measures to avoid this strike in the first place. They acted with false intentions and allowed for this strike to come about and now act as if they are saving the day. It is politics, pure and simple, the same old story. The government once again trampling on the rights of individuals so they can play hero to a crisis they had a large part in creating. I voted against this legislation because I believe in the fundamental rights that we all have, that is why I am the only person at Queens Park who stands against government encroachment on your lives and freedoms. The two sides must come to an agreed upon solution that will ensure balance, not the heavy handed force of government. Students must be appropriately compensated for what has occurred, this happened through no fault of their own and now the students must alter their own careers because of it. I have sympathy for the students and teachers, but there is a wrong way to end this strike and that is the way the Liberals and PCs want to do it.

4H is a well known program for youth, but what is generally not as well known is that youth from urban areas can take part. Tyler Sparling, 12, of Stittsville is an example of an urban youth participating in 4H as he has been a member of the Richmond Community 4H Club for two years now. He says that he is proof that urban youth can be part of 4H. Tyler, a Grade 7 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, says that anyone can join 4H, whether urban or rural. He points out that he lives in an urban community and yet he shows a calf in 4H competition. He points out that although he does not live on a farm, he is a good 4H member. He says that he got involved in 4H because he likes helping the community and 4H has a lot of community work involved in it, such as helping run canteens at community events. A major reason, though, why he joined 4H is because cows are his favourite animal, mainly because milk is his favourite drink. He says calves are “super

cute” animals, adding that he enjoys the hard work involved in caring for animals. But how does an urban youth like Tyler get a calf to work with and show in 4H? For Tyler, the 4H Club arranged for him to work with a calf at Jockbrae Farms, the Foster family’s farm on the ninth line of Beckwith township near Ashton. For two years now, he has worked with a newly born calf there, ultimately showing it at local fairs. He has named the calf “Cowy.” During the 4H season (roughly April to October), Tyler visits the Foster farm three times a week, starting to get to know the calf by walking it and getting it used to wearing a halter. He has worked with each calf throughout the summer in this way, all in preparation for showing “Cowy” at the Richmond and Carp fairs. He has learned how to groom and bathe the calf and prepare it for the show ring. Tyler points out that clipping a cow is a big job, taking most of a day. That’s because a calf has to look good in the rink. “I need them spot on,” he says, noting that the secret to clipping a cow is to take your time and not rush the job.

You start with doing the legs first and should vary your approach, not always doing horizontal cuts. Tyler has also learned how to properly show a calf. This includes tips such as where the back legs of a cow should be depending on the position of the judge in the ring, the position of the calf’s head when being judged and the placement of the halter on the calf. And Tyler has seen some success, both showing his calf in the ring at fairs and as a member of the Richmond Community 4H Club as well. This year at the Richmond fair, he placed second with “Cowy” in the showmanship class and was third in the grand champion showmanship class, going up against the best in older 4H classes. He and his calf also placed fourth at the Carp fair’s 4H Achievement Day. Last year, he was named the top first year member and also the top novice member of the Richmond Community 4H Club. He says that he would like to be a farmer as he is learning a lot about farming through 4H. He cautions that he does not want to get his hopes up but feels that if he learns a lot about farming, it might some-

day mean that he could work for a farmer, if not actually own a farm. But 4H is only one of Tyler’s activities. He has played hockey all of his life. A goalie, he is currently playing for the Stittsville Rams. He says that as a goalie he does not flop around but tries to be still and play what he terms as “smooth.” Tyler also plays lacrosse in the summer when he is also involved in 4H. In school at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, Tyler particularly likes drama, language, social studies, math and gym classes.

t was a mystery to me. How Mother could fill out a form, put it in an envelope, enclose no money, put on a three cent stamp and send it off to the people who sent out Eaton’s catalogue, and within days, the mailman would deliver a package right to our door. It was called a C.O.D. order, and I knew that meant Mother had to come up with whatever the mailman asked for when he left the parcel. There it was that day when I came from the Northcote School, sitting on the bake table at the back door ... a big parcel wrapped in heavy brown paper, and tied with cord. Our winter order from Eaton’s had arrived, and it would be opened after supper, only once the dishes had been washed, the table wiped clean, and dried with a flour bag tea towel. We five children could hardly wait. Even though my sister Audrey and I had poured over the catalogue until it was dog-eared, we knew that in the parcel would be only what was completely necessary to get us over the winter. The Christmas toy section, the pages of tin boxes of candy, the pretty dresses ... all frivolities … and certainly wouldn’t be part of Mother’s order. But that didn’t matter ... what Mother unwrapped would be brand new, and that in itself was something to look forward to. Father was the only one who wasn’t sitting around the kitchen table when it came time to open the parcel from Eaton’s. Mother was at the head of the table, and we children in the spots we always used for our meals, and I looked around and every one of us had our fingers interlocked just like we did when we prayed in church. Mother handed Audrey the string, who already had a piece of cardboard ready. And there it was - Mother’s order. There was new combination underwear for Father, long johns for my brothers, and new underpants for Audrey, soft with mauve lines in them, and for me the hateful navy blue fleece lined bloomers. I didn’t mind them when they were brand new, but by the time half the winter was

over, they would be faded and ugly as sin from many washings, and soakings from sliding down the little snowcovered hill at the Northcote School. And on the very bottom of the parcel was a neatly folded piece of Dan River cotton … soft coloured plaid with navy blue lines interwoven. Mother would find good use for it. A new house dress, a blouse for Audrey or me? Maybe new aprons. I was sitting beside Mother, and I leaned over and pressed my nose tight against the new material, and then I smelled the new underwear, even Father’s combinations. And that too was a miracle, I thought. How something could come from so far away, travel by train all the way to Northcote, and still smell so fresh. All I knew about Eaton’s was that they sent us a catalogue twice a year, and whatever Mother needed would be parceled up and sent to us on the farm. A miracle indeed.

Honouring four longtime Goulbourn farm families Special to the News

Throughout the year, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society (GTHS) has been busy collecting information on local farms to discover the families who have been working the land for 150 years. This was presented as a Canada 150 idea at the Society’s annual general meeting last January. It was brought to the Society’s attention as a possible project by member Ian White. Joan Darby and Lesley McKay took on the work with much determination. Through their research, it was revealed that four families have been farming the same land in Goulbourn for 150 years. Some have been doing so for well over 150 years. The four families are Anderson, Dawson,

Hobbs and Kenny. All of these farms exist within the boundaries of the former Goulbourn Township. During the research, it was learned that the Junior Farmers of Ontario (JFO) made Canada 150 signs available for sale to farm families who wanted to have this recognition proudly displayed at their farm gate. In collaboration with Quintina Cuddihy of JFO, the GTHS purchased Canada 150 signs for each of the farm families in gratitude for their hard work and historical significance. GTHS also purchased new Century Farm signs for all four of the farms to replace those signs that had become damaged or disappeared. The Canada 150 and new Century Farm signs have now been received. In

appreciation of the accomplishment by the Anderson, Dawson, Hobbs and Kenny families, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society is thanking each family personally. With this in mind, GTHS is holding a reception for them this Saturday, Nov. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Grace Thompson meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. At this reception, the GTHS in association with the Junior Farmers of Ontario will be presenting the Canada 150 signs to the families. Everyone in the community is welcome to come out and help GTHS celebrate and thank these local farmers and their families for the work they do John Curry/Metroland and for the length of time they have The Kenny family farm, named Blondehead Farm, on Flewellyn Road been doing it.

in Goulbourn has been farmed by the Kenny family for over 150 years.
