Complex naming rights issue lingers into the new year

SPECIALIZING IN ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Deal announced last April still needs to be finalized

1-888-226-0886 www.CapitalWholesaleDiamonds.com

BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

A deal that would see the Goulbourn Recreation Complex take on a corporate name in exchange for cash has yet to result in a name change at the City of Ottawa facility in Stittsville, even though the deal with Cardel Homes was announced with much fanfare back in April. But for those wondering when the name of the facility would actually change are still wondering as it is now 2018 and there has been no change at the rec centre as of yet. A city press release back in April of last year touted the deal, stating that the city’s community and protective services committee approved “a proposal to rename the Goulbourn Recreation Complex to “Cardel Rec – Goulbourn. The new name is part of a sponsored naming rights agreement with Cardel Homes, a local home building company celebrating its 20th year in Ottawa.” However, since then, when

the new name will be unveiled at the reacreation complex is still up in the air. A Cardel Homes spokesperson contacted by the Stittsville News could not shed any light on when the new name would be in place. And a city spokesperson says the naming rights deal is still being finalized. “Both parties are still engaged in the process of finalizing the naming rights agreement,” said Dan Chenier, the city’s general manager for the recreation, cultural and facility services department. The new name for the facility, “Cardel Rec – Goulbourn”, was approved by city council back in April 2017 after the community and protective services committee gave the greenlight for the deal. According to a statement on Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri’s website near the time the initial deal was announced, “changes will occur as soon as Cardel is prepared to initiate the launch.” See REC, page 2

“In order to ensure that our area’s rich historical background remain intact, I did negotiate with city staff and Cardel Homes to ensure that the name Goulbourn remain a part of the facility’s name,” Qadri said. According to Qadri, the yet to be finalized

deal involves Cardel Homes paying the City of Ottawa $600,000 (plus HST) over 15 years to acquire the naming rights. The offer will provide the city with $40,000 (plus HST) annually which will be applied against the city’s approved target for sponsorship revenues.

About 20 coyotes spotted in Stittsville ward in 2017 BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Despite concerns being raised in Stittsville over the number of coyotes seen by residents in the past year, the actual number of sightings in Stittsville ward was well below resident reports in some other areas of the city. There had been 280 coyote sightings across the city called into 311 from January through the end of November in 2017, the most sightings seen in the city over the past five years. Of those sightings, there were 19 reported through the city’s 311 service from the Stittsville municipal ward. The most reported sightings in Stittsville were recorded in February and April, where there were three reports for each of those months. River Ward topped the list in coyote sightings in 2017 (not including December), according to Ottawa 311 service call data. Does this mean Ottawa has a

coyote problem? Probably not, said Nicholas Stow, from the City of Ottawa’s natural systems and environmental protections department. “Coyotes are such common animals. They’re pretty ubiquitous,” said Stow, who had spoken to the Ministry of Natural Resources, which keep tabs on coyote numbers, and they said there has been no significant increase. “Numbers do fluctuate from year to year,” added Stow, who said things like weather and the number of prey, like deer, are factors that might affect how many coyotes there are from year to year. “Coyotes are already in the city,” said Stowe. “They’re so well-adapted to city life, but mostly they stay on the urban edge.” The numbers show there were 40 coyote sightings in River Ward reported to 311 from January to the end of November. Concern over coyotes was raised in River Ward after a

coyote attacked a woman’s dog while she was walking through McCarthy Woods on Oct. 25, 2016. The dog died from the injuries it received, and people started to become more concerned about the potential danger of coyotes roaming the area. In 2010, the city had a record-breaking 824 sightings reported to 311. According to the city, there was a coyote with mange around Ottawa at the time. The media had picked the story up and people became more aware of a potential threat, so they were more willing to call 311 if they saw an animal that looked like a coyote. Since dogs and coyotes are similar, there’s no way to know if there were actually that many real coyote sightings at the time. Stow made a presentation in Stittsville this past year to tell people not to fear coyotes, but to be careful. — With files from Alexandra Mazur

‘Sewing A Rae of Sunshine’ in Richmond Welcome to my penultimate Stittsville News column and Happy New Year! On behalf of my Rideau-Goulbourn team, I would like to wish everyone the best for 2018. It started off incredibly frigid so it can only really go up from here.

Storefront Industries

The City is looking at introducing new zoning provisions to allow limited, small-scale manufacturing and food processing, including micro-distilleries and microbreweries, in commercial areas. Currently, the Zoning Bylaw restricts all manufacturing and processing activities to industrial zones that are located in segregated industrial or business parks. These land use classifications do not align to the current trend of small-scale, light manufacturing and food-processing activities that also include a storefront retail or restaurant component in a mixed-use area. These kinds of light “storefront industries” no longer need to be isolated in industrial areas. Under certain circumstances, they are compatible with, and often better suited to more pedestrian friendly main streets. For example, making beer is technically an industrial activity under the current zoning, regardless of quantity. The growing popularity of microbreweries and brew pubs on urban mainstreets, where the same site brews the beer and serves it to on-site customers as well as wholesaling relatively small quantities to other restaurants and retailers, is poorly accommodated by the current zoning. The proposed amendment is intended to allow smallscale light manufacturing under certain circumstances in commercial and mixed-use areas. These “storefront industries” will, by definition, include a retail or restaurant component where the products being manufactured are available for sale and/or service to customers on-site, thereby supporting the commercial intent of these areas. However, the proposal also provides for such an operation to sell or distribute its products for resale at other locations. If you have any questions or comments about this proposal, please contact Tim Moerman at Tim.Moerman@ ottawa.ca.

Shea Road Hydro Pole Replacement

Beginning this month, Hydro Ottawa will be undertaking a project that involves replacing aging hydro poles on Shea Road (between Fallowfield Road and Garvin Road). This work is necessary to ensure reliability of the electricity distribution system in the area. Work on this project is scheduled to commence January 2018 and continue until September 2018. Residents will notice an increased construction presence throughout the duration of the project, including excavation activities and construction vehicles. Traffic control will be implemented when required to ensure that roads and driveways remain accessible and safe to residents and staff. In order to minimize noise concerns, Hydro Ottawa will ensure that work is completed weekdays between 7:00am and 6:00pm. Be assured that all residents and businesses in the affected area will receive advanced notice of the project and be provided with a point of contact. Customers will also receive advance notification prior to any planned power interruptions affecting their premises. Hydro Ottawa will work diligently to reduce disruptions and their staff and contractors will conduct this work safely and efficiently, ensuring that any inconvenience is minimal. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-5802491.

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Jenna-Rae Smith of Richmond loves to sew. And she shares this passion with others as she teaches others to sew at her home-based sewing studio Sewing A Rae of Sunshine. In addition, the 27 year-old entrepreneur also operates an associated fabric supply business called Fabric Crush, which provides quality fabrics at reasonable prices for her students and others. Jenna-Rae has been running the business for a little over two years, recently moving from Barrhaven to Richmond where thanks to her husband Brody and his carpentry skills her teaching studio now occupies a spacious former garage attached to their Shea Road home. Mother of three youngsters, she calls her business “our new baby.” And her favourite part of this business is teaching others how to sew. “I love the teaching part of it,” she says, adding that she enjoys giving people the opportunity to learn how to sew and to expand their creativity. She also feels that it gives her students and particularly sewing mothers or mothersto-be an online community of which they are a part. There’s a Facebook page where students can post their work and also where they can pose questions if they are having a particular problem. Jenna-Rae herself started sewing when she was about 13 years old, being enrolled in a sewing class by her mother. This was a

beginning for her but it was her grandmother Colleen Dennis who provided much of her early inspiration to be a sewer. She took a sewing course when attending Frederick Banting Alternate Program in Stittsville and went on to study briefly at the Richard Robinson Fashion Design Academy in Ottawa which she found was not really what she wanted to do. Indeed, she describes herself as mostly self-taught, learning her sewing techniques through trial and error. And a lot of this learning has come from teaching others. For the past two years she has been teaching children and women how to sew. She particularly likes working with women who are on maternity leave who are looking for something to do and want to express their creativity through sewing. Jenna-Rae notes that sewing as a life skill kind of missed a generation but now is becoming popular again. “Sewing has just gone boom,” she says, noting that there are many aged 25 to 50 who want to learn how to sew. This is where Sewing A Rae of Sunshine comes in, as she offers sewing instruction, either in group classes or individual sessions. Thanks to her classes, her students go from not knowing even how to turn on a sewing machine to being able to make full garments and clothes. Some of her students have even begun teaching classes in the studio. Her students either bring their own sewing machine to their classes if they have one or can use

Jenna-Rae Smith of “Sewing A Rae of Sunshine” works at her computer in her sewing studio in Richmond. one of the machines that she has available in her studio to get a start and see if they like sewing. She offers both private and group classes, with a maximum of six in a group. Her studio is baby friendly and she often has students who bring along a baby with them. She has a number of sewing stations in her studio. Each station faces a wall mirror which not only makes the studio seem larger and serves as a teaching aid, but she always puts the name of the student on the mirror. She helps students in her group classes to refer to each other by name, adding a more personal feel to the learning experience. Beginner classes are usually about three hours in length, with the student learning the basics during this time. “I can teach quite a bit in a three hour class,” she says.

Jenna-Rae says that most of her students are generally creative and usually pick up the sewing skills quickly. “I get a lot of beginners,” she says, noting that there is a lot of demand for such classes to learn how to sew. Besides beginner classes, Jenna-Rae also offers intermediate and advanced level classes. Classes are offered on evenings and on weekends. Offering classes is what led Jenna-Rae to get involved in the fabric business as well. Initially she had to direct her students to fabric outlets for their supplies. But it makes more sense if her students can obtain supplies at the spot where they are learning. On a trip to Kitchener, she checked out all of the fabric shops along the way, noting their atmosphere and offerings.

She then had the opportunity to purchase Fabric Crush, an ongoing home-based fabric sales business operating in Barrhaven. She now can offer her students the opportunity to purchase fabric locally from her which can be purchased online. She offers a number of fabric lines including Tula Pink products. Tula Pink is a fabric designer whose products sell all over the world and which are known for their unique colours and patterns. Jenna-Rae observes that sewing today is really a hobby because fabric tends to be expensive and so making clothes is not that cheap. However, thanks to Fabric Crush, she tries to keep fabric prices down while offering good quality fabrics at low prices. After all, she is the mother of three youngsters and knows the challenge of clothing such youngsters. She tries to purchase her fabrics from Canadian supply companies, although she admits that most fabric today is made in China. Jenna-Rae and her husband and family are happy to be living in Richmond now. They en-

joyed their previous Barrhaven experience but they find that the Richmond community feels more like home for them. Jenna-Rae says that she gets a lot of men expressing interest in learning how to sew, but so far none have followed through on this interest. She, though, is quite open to offering a men’s only class if the interest is there. Jenna-Rae is also getting involved with a project that sees sewers create beanie hats for babies at CHEO. These hats can be made out of fabric scraps left over from other sewing projects. She also hopes to offer birthday parties for youngsters in the future where kids would learn how to sew while having birthday fun with friends.

All Ottawa schools need defibrillators

n the year after Damien Martin’s son, Griffin, died from cardiac arrest at his Orléans school, the father has been leading the charge to have elementary and high schools across Ottawa equipped with devices that can deliver life-saving shocks that can restart a heart. The grieving family may never know if an AED, or automated external defibrillator, would have made a difference. Orléans Wood Elementary School didn’t have one at the time. Progress has been made, and a fundraising campaign is underway to speed up that process. The worry is that change is not happening fast enough. Many children have complex medical conditions. In Griffin’s case, he did not have any known underlying medical issues. There are also education, administration and other support staff at schools to consider. Schools also regularly serve as community hubs for after-hours programming, including sporting events, voting during elections, community and municipal meetings, Girl Guide and Scout gatherings, craft fairs, fundraisers, church services and workshops. It’s no wonder that Martin is calling for laws in Ontario and across Canada to require AEDs in schools. Fire extinguishers are required. Why not life-saving defibrillators? Linda Wyman, president of the Greely and District branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, celebrated on Feb. 14, 2017 when her rural south Ottawa branch received its first defibrillator after a four-year campaign. At that time, eight of the 14 Legion branches in

Ottawa did not have the portable devices, including in Orléans, Heron Park, Centretown, Westboro, Barrhaven, north Kanata and Constance Bay. In the case of the Greely branch, the closest AED was at the Greely Community Centre more than a kilometre away. The City of Ottawa not only equipped the remaining Legion facilities with the $1,600 machines, but also provided free CPR and AED training for Legion and community members. AEDs can buy paramedics precious time, especially in rural locations. If an AED shock can be delivered within the first four to six minutes after cardiac arrest, survival rates skyrocket, according to Anthony Di Monte, general manager of the city’s emergency and protective services department and former chief of the Ottawa Paramedic Service. Ottawa had gone from falling behind in cardiac-arrest survival rates to becoming one of the top five in North America thanks to a program launched in 2001 that saw the eventual installation of more than 1,000 defibrillators in public spaces and more than 40,000 residents, plus city staff, trained in CPR and the use of AEDs. And in the event of cardiac arrest, 911 communications staff can tell a caller where an AED is in a building and guide them in applying a defibrillator and CPR. There is no question that program has given people a fighting chance, even saved their lives. Let’s give that same chance to our children, their educators and other residents who use our city’s schools. Time is of the essence.

Building backyard skating rink mostly brings joy

or the third straight year I’m attempting to build a rink in my backyard. The weather is perfect. It should be done by now, except I’m not as committed as I once was. The kids have an expectation the rink will go from sloping lot to level skate surface in no time. When they see the actual tedious process, however, they become solid armchair critics. “Mom,” they call out between rounds of Forza on the Xbox on Boxing Day. “The rink is too bumpy. It’s never going to work!” Thanks, kids. My eyelashes are frozen to my lids and I just ripped a piece of skin off my hand when I touched a once damp, now-frozen doorknob. But I appreciate the help and advice. Building a rink triggers every emo-

a pile of massive cotton balls. I feel anger when the kids say, “I’d love to help, mom, but the bucket of water is too heavy for me.” Wimps! The truth is the kids could help. But this is my rink, my baby, to be Capital Muse grown and nurtured from nothing into something unique and special. So even though I complain that tion in me. As I lose control of the I’m out there by myself, I make up hose in -25 degree weather at 10 p.m. excuses for people to stay out of my one night, I think about quitting. ice kingdom. But then I feel the thrill of hearing It annoys me that I have to rely on the crackle as the water pushes and my spouse to connect the brand new freezes under the surface and I notice insulated hose he purchased for this that one small metre-square corner year’s project. (Let’s just say I had an has been nurtured into the perfect incident last year that he has yet to skating surface. Hope. But the frusforget). tration when I wake the next morning In my defence, the hose has a mind at 5 a.m. to see the other corner — of its own. I’m using a new dumping the one I worked on for several hours method this year, where I fill a giant alone, at midnight — still looks like garbage can and kick it over with my

BRYNNA LESLIE

foot five minutes later. (It’s a highly satisfying kick). Sometimes, the hose floats to the top when I’m not looking and then next thing I know it’s spraying full tilt at my son’s bedroom window. Other times, I go to grab it with my leather gloves, not realizing they’re already at that frozen-open state and I can’t get a grip, so I spray water in my face. And because one can never “catch” a hose in a timely fashion, I’ve frequently soaked myself from head-to-foot and then flash frozen before I even have time to say the word hose. Although it sounds crazy, rink building mostly brings me joy. Yes, it’s hard work. Yes, I have to face the elements. But -25 isn’t as cold as you think — at some point one’s hands become so numb they feel warm again. And at the end of the day, I

am creating something beautiful. In winter! So bring on the cold weather, Mother Nature. I’m ready for anything. I’m sure — bumps be gone — we’ll be skating in no time.

This is a sad day for me, and a sad day for our communities. Ordinarily I would like to fill this space with an informative article, or well wishes for the new year. Unfortunately this will be my final column in the Metroland papers as they are closing. Losing local papers is a great loss to any community, for me personally I have through all of my life, been able to enjoy the West Carleton Review in one form or another. But this is the final edition of that paper and the other community papers I have had the great pleasure of working with over these last six years as the MPP for Carleton - Mississippi Mills.

Heat medium skillet over medium heat. Add caraway seeds and toast until fragrant, about two minutes. Add butter and thyme and cook until butter melts and thyme is fragrant, about two minutes.

Royals lose to Westport SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Richmond Royals gave up three goals in the span of three minutes and twenty-six seconds in the early stages of the second period in losing 5-2 to the visiting Westport Rideaus in a Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 game at the Richmond arena on Wednesday, Dec. 27. The Royals could not come back from this 3-0 early second period deficit, despite outshooting the Rideaus by fairly wide margins in both the second and third periods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 13 to eight in the second period and 13 to nine in the third period. The Royals finished the game with 42 shots on the Westport net, while Westport had only 32 shots on Royals goalie Jean-Philippe Tourigny. After a scoreless first period, it was 4-1 for Westport at the end of the second period. Richmond got a goal in the first minute of the third period to make it 4-2, but that was a close as the Royals would get. An empty netter at the 18:32 mark sealed the deal for the Rideaus, assuring a 5-2 victory. Westport had five power plays in the game, while the Royals had six power play opportunities. Both teams scored once on the power play. Alex Vala scored both goals for the Royals in this game. Ryan Pawlikowski assisted on both of them. Patrick Yates assisted on one of the goals.

Trying out sledge hockey in Richmond BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Sledge hockey took over the ice surface at the Richmond arena on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 20. It was a “Try Event” organized by Sam Swafford of Stittsville, a member of the provincial sledge hockey team and a grade 12 student at South Carleton High School in Richmond. And those “trying” the sport of sledge hockey were none other than the players of the South Carleton High School (SCHS) boys’ hockey team. It all happened when Sam Swafford arranged for the South Carleton boys’ hockey team to try out sledge hockey at a team’s practice session. The provincial sledge hockey team likes to see its players promote the sport in the community. To help out at the session, Sam engaged the help of Tyrone Henry, a South Carleton High School graduate and former Stittsville resident who is now a member of the Canadian national sledge hockey team. He had also arranged for another South Carleton grad, Ken Turcotte of

sledge hockey team, will be playing for Team Ontario in the Canadian national championships in British Columbia in January. Last year the Ontario team won the bronze medal at the national championships. Sam has attended camps for the national development team but so far has not yet been selected for this team. His long term goal is to play for the national team and participate in the

Paralympic Games, probably in 2022 in Beijing, China. Sam, who usually plays forward, has a real passion for the game of sledge hockey. He has been working out with a personal trainer at Greco Fitness for the past couple of years, working on his core, hip and arm strength, all of which are key in sledge hockey. He says that he is “always training.”

Munster, a veteran sledge hockey player, to help out but in the end he could not be there. But Sam and Tyrone took to the ice with the South Carleton players to show them how to play sledge hockey. They were each outfitted See SCHS alumni, page 19 with a sledge and the small sticks with which sledge hockey players not only propel themselves on the ice but also are used to pass and shoot the puck. The SCHS players seemed to pick up the sport quickly, soon zooming around the ice. Sam and Tyrone led drills including racing the length of the ice. There was also lots of individual shooting and passing, along with moving along the ice on the sledge. Sam was not surprised that they took to the sport and appeared to love it. He said that the SCHS players were a pretty good bunch of skilled hockey players and this exposure to sledge hockey simply let them experience and play hockey from a different perspective. Sledge hockey, just like ice hockey in general, involves skills like shooting, passing and scoring. He was John Curry/Metroland glad that the SCHS players agreed to give it a Sam Swafford (centre, background) gathers the South Carleton High School hockey try. Sam, 17, who is a member of the provincial players around him to provide some basic instruction about the sport of sledge hockey.

The public meeting is regarding a proposed plan of subdivision by Shenkman/Cavanagh for the property at 195 Huntmar drive, which is located west of Huntmar drive and South of Highway 417 as shown on the location map available at shadqadri.com (file no.: d07-16-16-0011). The Plan of Subdivision proposes the development of approximately 1120 detached, townhouse, stacked townhouse, and low-rise apartment residential units. The subdivision also includes blocks for commercial development to accommodate a range of small scale retail, restaurant, and service commercial uses and automobile dealerships. A secondary school (OCDSB) and parks, including the Kanata West District Park, are also proposed. For additional information, you can visit my website here. Please note that in the future a revised Concept Plan for the subdivision will be available on my website and on www.ottawa.ca/devapps. For more information, please contact myself and City Planner Louise Sweet at 613-580-2424 ext. 27586 or Louise.Sweet@ottawa.ca.

Snow Go / Snow Angel Programs If you are an Ottawa resident who requires assistance removing snow this winter due to physical limitations, I am happy to let you know about the Snow Go program by the City of Ottawa. There are two departments to the program: Snow Go or Snow Go Assist. The Snow Go program links matching service for seniors and people suffering from disability who are looking to hire and pay contractors for snow removal from private driveways and walkways. Alternatively, the Snow Go Assist program works to provide financial assistance to eligible low-income seniors or persons with disabilities, reimbursing up to 50% for snow clearing events to a maximum of $250 seasonally. This is an outstanding program which helps to service our residents who need it most at what can, for some, be a very depressing time of year. The program is supported by different departments across the City. To inquire about application within Stittsville, please contact the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre at telephone by 613-591-3686 (extension: 313) or by emailing Dee Machum at machum@wocrc.ca. Each winter, I watch with pride as Stittsville residents come together to support one another – not for payment or recognition but out of the kindness of their hearts. This winter, if you see someone helping out someone in need (either elderly or with disability), nominate them as a Snow Angel by sending their story to communitypride@ottawa.ca. Snow Angels receive a signed certificate from the mayor in honour of their kindness along with a commemorative Ottawa keychain. I encourage all residents to take notice of kindness this Christmas and also share their stories with my office at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. Throughout the holiday season, I will be happy to thank our neighbours in my electronic newsletter to keep the holiday spirit in motion.
