Skating coach honoured for a lifetime at the rink

For years the rink has been home to figure skating coach Cathy Skinner. She has dedicated herself to the sport as an athlete since she was a kid and for the past 38-plus years she has been a well-respected teacher and coach to young figure skaters and Special Olympians. “When I am at the rink, I love it,” said Skinner. And that love of being at the rink will be recognized and celebrated at the 2017 Ottawa Sports Awards gala on Jan. 31, 2018, when Skinner will be honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award for being a Sports Volunteer.

New west end hotels have positive impact on all area businesses BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

With yet another hotel project in the works for Kanata near the border with Stittsville, councillors in both communities say the addition of more places to stay for visitors is a net benefit for growing communites such as Stittsville and Kanata. “Anytime you have economic development is a good thing,” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said. “We’re all growing in this area and, as long as the infrastructure grows along with it, it’s a benefit for the communities to have people staying in this area that can then go shopping and try our restuatrants in this area of the city. “It’s all positive for our other businesses here,” Qadri said. The latest hotel in the works is a proposed 108-room hotel at 340 Huntmar Drive across from the Tanger Outlets near the highway. “The proposed development involves the construction of a new 4-storey, 108 room hotel with an approximate overall gross floor area of 4,035 sq. metres, together with associated site parking, landscaping, and

infrastructure,” a site plan proposal for the development submitted to the city states. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the new proposal is just one of three new hotel/motel developments in the works in her civic ward that could be a benefit to the businesses that operate in her community and nearby business districts in Stittsville and Carp on the City of Ottawa’s western edge. “As long as they are nice buildings and properly landscaped and fit in with the existing zoning, it’s a positive development,” Wilkinson said. “We have a lot of things in this community with the high tech sector, with our recreation facilities and opportunities that are very attractive to visitors,” Wilkinson said of the Kanata and Stittsville communities and what they offer to visitors to Ottawa. Both city councillors said having visitors stay in the west end of the city — where a cluster of reasonably priced hotels and motels have been moving into the Kanata area in recent years to meet the needs of tourists and those involved in high tech inductries that need short term places to stay — leads to economic spinoffs for other businesses in the area such as shops and restuarants. “There’s a lot for people to do in this area

Wilkinson said the new hotels often have small meeting rooms that can also become available for community use, which is another benefit for the communities as a whole. “We have all been growing in this area,” said Wilkinson. “As long as we continue to maintain the character of our communities by these developments fitting into design and zoning reguations, there are benefits for the community.”

Work with Special Olympians cited for award honour Continued from page 1

Skinner was surprised when she got the call from the Ottawa Sports Awards and was told she was the winner of the award this year. She doesn’t know who put her name forward for such an honour, but she’s proud to be recognized for her her work. “I was surprised when I got the call, but it is such an honour,” she said. “You put in a lot of time, it’s not just at the rink, but there’s a lot of

prep work as well.” While she has had a long and varried career, it is Skinner’s work with Special Olympics athletes that is prominently cited by the Ottawa Sports Awards. “With this award she is being recognized for her volunteer work with Special Olympics Ontario. In 2017 Skinner celebrated two of her Special Olympic skaters winning gold at the Special Olympics World Winter Games, adding to three gold and three silver that were won in 2013 when

Skinner travelled with Team Canada to World Winter Games in South Korea. The impressive results stand alongside the true community of skaters that she has fostered, making a life-long impact in the lives of Ottawa families,” an Ottawa Sports Awards statement said. In fact, Skinner’s connection to the rink goes beyond her work on the ice as a skater and coach. She actually met her husband when they were teenagers at a rink — she as a skater and her future husband was

Skinner, who skated with the Ice Capades when she was 17 for a year and has been a coach ever since, moved to Stittsville about 25 years ago, and has been a respected members of the community ever since. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri praised Skinner’s work in the community when told of the award coming Skinner’s way. “She certainly deserves to be honoured,” Qadri said. “I am very happy for her,” he said

of the honour and her work with Special Olympians. For years Skinner worked seven days a week as a coach and skating mentor at the Goulbourn club and also at the Gloucester Skating Club to the east of Stittsville, but she has dialed it back a bit in the past three years freeing up her Sundays. “You miss a lot of things doing this, friends are involved in social events while you’re at the rink,” she said. “So, I guess you can say that being at the rink has been my life.”

Brian Carson tells Horticultural Society all about trilliums, in between stories Special to the News

There’s more to trilliums than meets the eye. We all know the trillium as Ontario’s floral emblem, but who knew that there are a wide variety of trilliums. Well, Brian Carson of Stittsville does. And he regaled those at the November meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, not only with his knowledge of trilliums, but also with his stories and anecdotes about his forest forays to find them. Indeed, you could have heard a pin drop during his presentation, which proved riveting and captivating for the audience as his love and passion for anything trillium was very evident. At one time Brian knew practically nothing about trilliums. Thanks to books and magazines, he found out all he could about trilliums, beginning not only his love of anything trillium, but also his personal quest to know as much as he could about them. His presentation included photos of a wide variety of trilliums that he has encountered on his travels around the Ottawa Valley and beyond. This is where his personal and humorous stories arose when he recounted how he found many of the trilliums in nature. In his early days of research, Brian found that a double trillium had been found in the Yukon and then that another had been found in Syracuse back in the 1930s. This proved to be a “eureka moment” for Brian as he thought that if such trilliums were so widespread, they very much

could be in Ontario. That was the start of his quest for a double trillium, a quest that took him 10 years to find his first one. Brian says that Ontario really is a hotbed for these double trilliums. Brian found a double trillium in the woods around his cottage after 10 years of walking around these same woods. He named it the Shawville Doubleday. It is green when it’s young and then develops pink edges as it ages. Brian’s presentation involved photos of a wide variety of trilliums, some of them named by himself, associated with the location or the date when he found them. So there’s lady slippers trillium (yellow in colour), Renfrew double super trooper (white centre and pink outside), Rats Hollow double trillium (white), Clarendon double trillium, Rigaud double trillium (seen in Rigaud with six petals), wise double trillium, lucky seven double trillium, Dacre double trillium and double attractions. Brian also showed photos of a number of Trillium grandiflorum. These included Roseum (pink), Trillium undulatum (painted) and

a number of variegated trilliums. Painted trilliums can be found in Monaghan’s Woods behind Bell High School. Brian found a “quadrillium” in Manotick and has found pink trilliums around Arnprior and a Rats Hollow quadrillium in Renfrew. In his travels, he has found some quintrillium (five petals), twin-flowered trillium (two sets of two petals), a drillium (two petals), a monilium (one petal) and even an apetalous trillium (no petals, just stamens). Brian observed that sometimes trilliums have four petals one year and then only three the next year. Trilliums bloom from the end of April to early June. Brian advised that a person can find trilliums by just driving around and going for walks in the woods. He said that trilliums are not killed if a person picks the flower as the plant will come back the next year. He said that trilliums like shade and do not do well around cedars. He says that they like maple trees because of the sugar, which they like. They also need protection from the wind, which such trees provide. Trilliums can be grown from seeds. If picked in mid-July, they will germinate and be ready for the next year. Trilliums are predominantly a North American flower. There are none known in Great Britain, Europe or Africa. There are seven species in

Asia and six in eastern North America. In Ontario, there are five trillium species: great white (Trillium grandiflorum), red (Trillium erectum), painted (Trillium undulatum), nodding (Trillium cernuum) and drooping (Trillium flexipese). The trillium is a protected plant in Quebec. The trillium became Ontario’s floral emblem in 1937.

1251 Stittsville Main Street Stittsville News - Thursday, December 7, 2017 5

Mild weather for Christmas Parade of Lights Over the last couple of years, I have used this column in the Stittsville News to provide updates on the Richmond Forcemain project and the proposed street naming changes throughout Goulbourn. Allow me to take this opportunity to provide further updates on each item. Richmond Forcemain Project The following provides an overview of anticipated construction activities that will be taking place in December: • Crews to install dry hydrant at the end of King Street and pave the section of roadway • Add opening to cedar rail fence at King Street park entry location • Small section of fence to be installed at 34 Dallaire Crescent • Excavation and work in valve chambers near Eagleson Road close to the former Richmond Nursery • Minor remaining work inside valve chambers on the 300mmm and 600mm forcemains along the Jock River from the Condominium building on King Street to the lagoon area is on-going. Unrelated to the ongoing work in the village, I did also want to mention that there was a break in the forcemain on Thursday, November 30th. The break occurred near Eagleson Road and Michael Cowpland Drive intersection in Kanata. As you might be aware, the sanitary forcemain runs from Richmond, along Eagleson Road into Kanata. Repairs were undertaken immediately and the forcemain was back in operation by the end of the next day. Munster waste was diverted to the Munster lagoon system and Richmond waste was diverted to the Richmond lagoon system, as per normal emergency practices. Looking more long-term, it is anticipated that a full pumping station upgrade and forcemain twinning will be complete by 2022. Much of the future development in Richmond is contingent on the upgrade of the forcemain and pumping station. That growth will contribute signiﬁcantly to the costs of the work to be completed. Richmond Street Naming As you will likely recall, the City has been working on renaming several streets in Richmond to avoid duplication since these streets are disconnected. Previously, I had also mentioned that there was a delay in getting these streets renamed because of a delay in having Google update their maps. Yes, we live in a world where Google now dictates timelines.

Special to the News

The costumed figures of Mary and Joseph, with Mary riding a live donkey, led the Parade of Lights on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Dec. 2. The parade-leading figures were entered in the parade by the Grace Baptist Church of Ottawa which is located on the Huntley Road south of Stittsville. The parade took 50 minutes to pass through the intersection of Wintergreen Drive/Mulkins Street and Stittsville Main Street as the floats just kept coming and coming. A number of first-year entries were in the parade including a sea cadet band. Mild weather with no wind made for perfect viewing conditions for the huge crowds which lined Stittsville Main Street for the parade. The Community Bible Church had tables set up with lanterns in front of its building to provide viewing spots. St. Thomas Anglican Church, like the Community Bible Church also on the parade route, served hot chocolate to parade viewers. Following the parade, the Christmas lights were officially turned on at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. The lights were put up and checked earlier in the week by members of the Stittsville District Lions Club. This annual Parade of Lights along Stittsville Main Street is organized by the Stittsville Village Association.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Priorities need rearranging

here’s a drug crisis. Safe injection sites are becoming a reality. There’s now dangers from fentanyl and other opioids, drugs which can kill quickly. With so much concern about all these drug matters, you would think that drug and addiction facilities for youth would be numerous — a top priority. But why, then, is the new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre planned to be built at a West Carleton site taking years to become reality? It will be an up-todate facility, better for both staff and clients, replacing the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre’s current overtaxed facilities. Smith, one of the most beloved and energetic personalities in the Ottawa area, is leading this effort, but it is still going to be at least another year before construction begins on the project. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre was established in 1993, introducing residential treatment in 2010. Since 1993, more than 15,000 youth and caregivers have been helped by the centre. We know the need is there and the Dave Smith Centre is playing a part in meeting the need for treatment. But the hang up in enhancing the centre is financial. There’s still $4.5 million in fundraising needed for the $11.8-million facility.

But why is this? We have a federal government which has $5.6 million to spend on a three-month ice rink on Parliament Hill. We have nothing against this, as it will be a memorable experience for skaters. But when you put such an expenditure up against funding a facility like the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre — which saves lives and solves addiction problems for youth — is there any debate here? Skating for pleasure can’t hold a candle to helping youth get off drugs. Yet we as a society easily go along with $5.6 million for a postcard rink on Parliament Hill and seem to pay little attention to getting the new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre up and running and helping youth. Are our priorities as a society skewed? Are the government’s priorities backwards? Surely having more facilities like the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre providing drug addiction and mental health services to youth deserves overwhelming and unconditional support. And yet, the government funds a temporary rink bound to melt and disappear in months, while and the Dave Smith folks pound the pavement, trying to fundraise to get a permanent new facility up and running. There’s something wrong with this picture.

These newspapers didn’t deserve to die

bout 12 years ago I wrote a retirement column for another newspaper. I didn’t think I’d be doing another one, but that’s the newspaper business. The difference this time is that it’s the newspaper that has retired. As you know, there has been a big swap in small newspapers, with the new owners choosing to close most of their acquisitions, including this one. There’s been lots of speculation about their motives, and there’s no point in getting into that, except to say that these newspapers didn’t deserve to close. They were serving their communities, providing news coverage that the shrinking big dailies no longer could or wanted to, giving young journalists an entry into the business and giving voice both to readers and people like

Friendship Club donations at luncheon by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

Christmas was in the air at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Wednesday,

Nov. 29. That’s because it was the occasion of the Christmas luncheon of the Friendship Club. Red and white tablecloths adorned the tables at which the 54 people in attendance sat. A lighted Christmas tree stood at the front of the hall while a number of those in attendance were wearing something red or, as in the case of Dave Argue, a crazy Christmas sweater. And, best of all, everyone got to enjoy a turkey dinner with all of the trimmings. Aw, there’s not time quite like Christmas! Those attending had taken along a non-perishable food item for the Stittsville Food Bank and these items, which filled a table in the hall, were taken away by food bank volunteers Jo-Anne Ilkiw and Don Kennedy. They also left with a $1,000 donation from the Friendship Club. Indeed, Christmas generosity was in the air at the meeting as the Friendship Club not only donated this $1,000 to the food bank but also donated $500 to the ladies of the Stittsville Legion who cater the regular monthly luncheons of the Friendship Club. In addition, the Friendship

Club donated $500 to Davidson’s Hearing for its work in providing club member Margaret Kessels who is now 100 years old with hearing aids, giving her a good deal. To top off everything, this Christmas luncheon also featured the music of the musical group Forever Friends. The trio of Geoff LaHaise, Sharon LaHaise and Jim Smyth provided a stream of Christmas songs, beginning with what has become a most popular holiday song, A Holly Jolly Christmas. The 1962 version of this song by American singer Burl Ives remains as the most famous rendition of the song. Here Comes Santa Claus, a Christmas song originally done by the singing cowboy Gene Autry in 1947, was next up for the Forever Friends. Other songs sung during the Forever Friends performance included It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, first released in 1963 by pop singer Andy Williams, which is a song that is now considered a classic Christmas song; the 1979 novelty Christmas song Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer; A Marshmallow World which was a hit song for Bing Crosby in 1950 and which has become regarded as a holiday song even though it makes no mention of Christmas; the iconic I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas, a 1942 Irving Berlin song which was also a hit for Bing Crosby and which, indeed, is regarded as the worldwide best selling single of all time for songs of any kind, not just Christmas songs; Silver Bells, now a popular Christmas song which was first recorded by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards in 1950 and then was performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in a 1951 movie; and Jingle Bell Rock, a now popular seasonal song which was first a hit in 1957 for American country singer Bobby Helms. The 50/50 draw at this Christmas luncheon generated $210, with $105 being given away in the form of three prizes of $35 each. There will not be any Friendship Club monthly luncheon in December but the luncheons will resume in January with the first luncheon being the club’s annual general meeting.

Winners of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri’s Christmas card design contest are (front row, from left) Jonathan Whitworth, Holly Loiselle, Alexis Clark and Melody Mae Whitworth, while behind them are (from left) councillor Qadri, Santa Claus, Santa’s elf Helene Rivest, city of Ottawa Kanata North ward councillor Marianne Wilkinson and city of Ottawa councillor and acting deputy mayor Mark Taylor.

Christmas card design winners Special to the News

Santa Claus was in the building last Saturday, Dec. 2. The building was the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and Santa dropped in for the Christmas Cookie Decorating and Santa Photo Session hosted by City of Ottawa Stittsville Ward Coun. Shad Qadri. With a giant white and red chair beside a Christmas tree waiting for him, Santa entered the building by a rear door and then proceeded across the second floor before making a grand entrance along with his accompanying elf down the stairs in the middle of the main foyer. When he was going across the second floor from the rear of the building to the front stairway, he was visible to all those taking a fitness session in the Erica Wiebe Gym. The instructor noticed Santa up there on the second floor overlooking the gym and had all of the fitness class members turn and wave to the jolly gentleman, an early Christmas treat for one and all.

When Santa arrived in the foyer via the stairs from the second floor, he took his place in the giant chair and greeted the youngsters and families who had lined up to visit with him and have a photo taken. Before Santa’s arrival, Coun. Qadri had presented prize certificates to the four winners in his Christmas card design contest. The winners in this year’s contest were Jonathan Whitworth, seven; Holly Loiselle, seven; Alexis Clark, eight; and Melody Mae Whitworth, nine. City of Ottawa Kanata North Ward Coun. Marianne Wilkinson joined Coun. Qadri in presenting the prize certificates to these winners. City of Ottawa Coun. and current Deputy Mayor Mark Taylor also visited the event. Tables were set up at the event where youngsters were able to decorate gingerbread people. There were also tables where youngsters could do Christmas crafts such as making miniature Christmas trees.

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

December 7, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed A Sad Farewell to Our Friends and Family at the Stittsville News On Monday, November 27th, the community was given the very sad update that the Stittsville News along with many other local community newspapers across Ontario will be shutting their doors. The media companies, Post Media and Torstar, announced in a press release Monday morning that Postmedia would get two dozen community newspapers and two free commuter dailies from Torstar, and at the same time give 17 newspapers (15 community papers and two big-city free commuter dailies) to Torstar. The Stittsville News has been a part of our community for just under 60 years, publishing its first-ever four-page issue on December 12, 1957. Since 1975, the paper has been under the guidance of editor-in-chief, John Curry, with the support and involvement of his mother, sister, and nephew who helped maintain the circulation lists and produce the addressed paper bags in which the paper was mailed to subscribers each week. Other local residents became involved with the paper over the years such as the late Barb Fairbrother who handled office duties for almost 20 years. Rarely an event went by in Stittsville or Goulbourn that was not covered and photographed by John Brummell. Mr. Brummell, a good friend of Mr. Curry’s, came on originally as a volunteer back in 1993, to then retire from the paper less than one year ago. As a local paper, these journalists always represented the community by highlighting the names of individuals in all photographs – helping to make even the most bashful of us local celebrities – and creating a link for future residents to connect with their past. It was through the support and dedication of this team and that of the community and its many groups and organizations that The Stittsville News became a household name.The Stittsville News has been an integral part of our community’s history; from documenting community announcements to promoting and sharing the accomplishments of our individuals and our families, the paper has kept us informed and updated on matters that affect us from both the local and City perspective. Unfortunately, with growth of the internet and the rise of social media, news sources have evolved. But let us not forget the wholesomeness and the grass roots of the local community paper; a paper that touched many of our lives; a paper whose clippings are tucked away in between the pages of parents’ scrap books celebrating their children’s accomplishments or special announcements. For this, I thank all those both past and present who have been a part of the making of The Stittsville Newspaper what is today.

John Street (Johnwoods) Sanitary Pumping Station Decommissioning Project The John Street Pumping Station located at 53 Mika Street is scheduled for decommissioning in 2019. With the expected completion of the Kanata West Pumping Station in early 2018, the John Street Pumping Station, along with four other pumping stations in the west end of Ottawa are scheduled to be replaced with bypass sanitary sewers and decommissioned. Part of the project involves installing a new 250-millimetre sanitary bypass sewer along Johnwoods Street between Maple Grove Road and John Street Sanitary Pump Station, connecting on Mika Street. Given the current construction status of Johnwoods Street between Maple Grove Road and Rosehill Avenue, staff is requesting Council permission to enter into a third party infrastructure agreement with Mattamy Homes for the detailed design, tender and construction of the 250millimetre by-pass gravity sanitary sewer so that it may be combined and coordinated with the Johnwoods Street conversion project. Combining the two projects will avoid duplication of work and throw away costs which would otherwise be incurred if the multi-use pathway project was to proceed in advance of the sanitary bypass sewer. Combining the two projects will also minimize the amount of construction related disruption for the adjacent residents. The actual decommissioning of the station will not be part of this agreement. Once the City receives Committee and Council approval and Mattamy tenders the project, we will be able to provide further update on timing and any impact on adjacent residents. A 3rd party infrastructure agreement report will be coming to Planning Committee on December 12th and Council on December 13th for delegated authority. I am supportive of this agreement and am pleased the City and Mattamy have been able to work together on this portion of the project. I had advised the City that this was very important to have done now to ensure there will no further construction disruption to the neighbourhoods for this connection that would be required.

Geotechnical Investigation at Huntmar Drive and Maple Grove Beginning in early December, the City of Ottawa will undertake survey work and a geotechnical investigation in the Fairwinds neighbourhood. This work is being done to update record information of the intersection configuration and determine existing underground soil conditions. This information will support the reconstruction design of the Huntmar Drive and Maple Grove Road intersection. Survey and geotechnical investigation work will take place along Huntmar Drive from Par-la-Ville Circle to Harmattan Avenue, and on Maple Grove Road from Leveche Way to Rosehill Avenue. The survey work and geotechnical investigation should take approximately 1-2 weeks. More information is available on Shadqadri.com

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.

Christmas parade in Richmond Special to the News

Oh, to have been a drone over Richmond last Saturday evening, Dec. 2. Such a drone’s eye view would have been enchanting, revealing a slowly moving procession of floats laden with Christmas lights and decorations making its way along McBean Street. Even the Christmas music accompanying a couple of the floats might have floated up through the calm darkness to reach the high flying drone which would have wished at that moment that it had ears. It was all an ideal setting for such a lighted Santa Claus parade which this annual Richmond parade has become in recent years after beginning as an afternoon daytime parade. The temperature was spectacular for Dec. 2, a balmy four degrees Celsius, with no wind at all. The parade got underway at 5:30 p.m. from South Car-

leton High School, heading north on a McBean Street lined with onlookers, mainly at the various intersections. There were shouts of “Merry Christmas” from parade participants to the crowd as well as from onlookers to those walking along in the parade, a group which included City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn Ward Coun. Scott Moffatt, members of the St. Philip Knights of Columbus, players with the Richmond Royals junior hockey team and a number of Richmond’s volunteer firefighters. The Christmas spirit was alive and well in Richmond for this parade. Among the floats in the parade were those of the Richmond Village Association, the Rural Ottawa South Support Services, Cedarstone Homes, St. Paul’s United Church, Flynn Landscaping, the St. Philip Knights of Columbus, the Fraser farm, the 1st Richmond Scouts, the Richmond Fair and Fallowfield Tree Farm, Rabb

Construction and the Village Shoppe and four Ottawa Fire Service fire trucks with lights flashing, with Santa Claus riding in the bucket of the ladder truck which was the final float in the parade. This parade was held between two other Christmas events taking place in the village on this Dec. 2 Saturday evening. The annual Lighting of the Park ceremony took place at Memorial Park at the corner of McBean Street and Perth Street at 4:30 p.m. This 20 minute ceremony not only saw the initial turning on of the Christmas lights at Memorial Park but also saw the public unveiling of the street banners designed and created by village youth which will be hung along Perth and McBean streets. These street banners were displayed throughout the park for this Lighting of the Park ceremony. See LIGHTING PARK, page 18

Lighting park, chili dinner ‘An Old Fashioned Christmas’ The ceremony also included singalong opportunities for those in the crowd of 200 who attended including the always-favourite Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. And then there was the singing of Here Comes Santa Claus which magically brought about an appearance by the jolly gentleman himself, arriving in a fire truck with lights flashing. Children at the ceremony were able to visit with Santa during his stay at the park. Following the 5:30 p.m. parade, there was

a free community chili dinner in the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena), finishing off a most active and Christmas-themed day in Richmond which also included a day-opening bake sale by the ladies of the Catholic Women’s League at St. Philip’s Church, the first-ever Village of Richmond Holiday Home and Business Tour organized by Sonya Kinkade Design in support of the Richmond Food Bank and a gingerbread social with cookie decorating, treats and crafts at the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School.

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

Special to the News

The weather last Friday and Saturday was decidedly un-Christmas-like, being fairly mild with no snow in evidence on the ground. But despite this lack of festive weather with Christmas just a little more than three weeks away, the Christmas spirit was alive and well at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata. That’s because it was the occasion of the annual Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, entitled “An Old Fashioned Christmas.” But the spirit went far beyond the concert title. And far beyond the sizeable pair of poinsettias and the lighted Christmas tree at the front of the church. Indeed, the Christmas spirit really got going even before the start of the concert as the Manotick Brass Ensemble, guest performers at the concert, presented 15 minutes of pre-concert carols, including an English carol medley that including God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Good King Wenceslas as well as Away in a Manger and a Caribbean Christmas medley of three calypso carols including Long Time Ago in Bethlehem. This Christmas spirit continued when the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus took to the stage, opening with an audience participation carol Once in Royal David’s City. In the concert, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus presented a set of four winter songs including the frigidly graphic The Icy December; a set of contemporary and traditional sacred music What Child is This?, the soft and melodic O Holy Night and the lively calypso style Sleep, Little Tiny King; and a set of lively contemporary Christmas songs such as No Time to Diet

and Jonathan’s Bell Carol. As if this were not enough to engender the spirit of Christmas in the audience, the Manotick Brass Ensemble just increased the anticipation and feeling of Christmas in the group’s in-concert performance. This included a medley of three winter carols including In the Bleak Mid-Winter and The Snow Lay on the Ground as well as performances of several songs including Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. See AUDIENCE SINGALONGS, page 20

Audience singalongs at West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ concert Continued from page 18

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Standing for Private Enterprise Over the past two weeks I have been the only MPP in the Ontario Legislative Assembly to stand and voice my opposition to the Liberal Government’s monopoly cannabis regime. A government monopoly will do nothing to remove illegal cannabis from our streets and will do nothing to take power away from organized crime. In order to do both of these things we need a private system like the one that Alberta has proposed. With a system that allows private enterprise to thrive the province can make our streets safer and create jobs by being competitive. The heavy hand of government too often is allowed to stop the free market from prospering, this heavy handed approach has led to sky high hydro rates and massive job losses in Ontario. We have an astounding opportunity to open space for a new commodity in the market and the Liberals are sacrificing it so that they can continue with the same failed practices that have left us with two options for purchasing beer and one for spirits. What a shame this will be.

An audience singalong involving the Ladies Chorus, the Manotick Brass Ensemble and, of course, the capacity audience further enhanced the Christmas spirit prevalent at the event, especially since the singalong carol was the well known O Come, All Yet Faithful. An earlier singalong of a couple of verses of the iconic Christmas carol Silent Night which were part of the more encompassing song All on a Silent Night had also elevated the Christmas spirit of the concert. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the Manotick Brass Ensemble wound up the concert with a combined performance of Joy to the World, a most fitting carol on which to end this Christmas concert. Wendy Sauve served as the MC for the concert, while also singing with the group as well.

Christmas at Jabulani SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Wine, munchies, hot chocolate and music — that’s the recipe for enjoyment and that’s what will be happening at the Jabulani Vineyard and Winery west of Richmond on two weekends in December. Jabulani Vineyard and Winery on Jock Trail south of Franktown Road is hosting its annual Christmas celebration event in support of the Richmond Food Bank on the weekends of Dec. 9/10 and Dec. 16/17. In what has now become a Christmas tradition at Jabulani, there will be the roasting of chestnuts on a fire outside as well as lots of activity inside. This will include mulled wine to sip, Christmas munchies, hot chocolate for the youngsters and wine tasting for the adults. And you will be the first to get to enjoy Jabulani’s newest product, iced cider, which will be released on Dec. 9. There will also be seasonal music from a variety of performers. The Ken Seeley Duo will be performing on Sat-

urday, Dec. 9 while keyboardist and singer Craig Kennedy will be entertaining on Dec. 10. The Sequoia Church Choir will be performing on Saturday, Dec. 16 while the Canadian Military Wives Choir and also the Ken Seeley Duo will be providing the songs and music on Sunday, Dec. 17. These Christmas celebrations will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on all four days. Those attending to enjoy all of this fun are asked to take along a donation for the Richmond Food Bank, either a non-perishable food item or something monetary.

Passes on sale for Rotary film series SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Passes are now on sale for the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series for 2018. Films will be screened on the fourth Monday of each month at the Landmark Kanata theatre. There will be three times for each screening: 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Passes for the 7 p.m. screenings are already sold out, but passes are still available for the 4 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. screenings. There is a five-film series running from January to May, with a $55 pass. The second series is a three-film series that will run from September to November, costing $35 for a pass. A pass covering both series one and series two (i.e. all eight films) will cost $80 per pass, saving $10 over the purchase of individual series passes. The films to be shown still need approval by the Toronto International Film Festival Film Circuit, the film distributor and Landmark Kanata. But, subject to these approvals, the films to be shown in the first series from January to May are C’est la Vie!, Meditation Park, Novitiate, Sami Blood and Tulipani: Love, Honour and a Bicycle. The films to be shown in the second three-film series will be selected later, to ensure that they are the most current films available. Passes can be obtained by contacting Leo Maiorino of the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville at leom@mortgagebrookersottawa.com. Cheques can be made payable to the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville and your order instructions can be mailed to Leo at 28 Renshaw Ave., Stittsville, Ont., K2S 1G9.

sudoku

n i a r B e a s e rs

horoscopes

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
