The procession carrying the casket of longtime Stittsville volunteer fi refi ghter and businessman Sterling Howie slowly makes its way between the honour guard of volunteer fi refi ghters which lined the entrance walkway to Stittsville United Church for the funeral service on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 19. More Ottawa Fire Service fi refi ghters, numbering over 100, lined the south side of Fernbank Road outside the church as the hearse and its accompanying vehicles arrived at the church.

So long, SterlingJOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

The Ottawa Fire Service said farewell to one of its own on Thursday, Aug. 19.

Captain H. Sterling Howie, a Stittsville volunteer fi refi ghter since 1967, was buried in the Stittsville United Church cemetery following a funeral service at the adjacent church. And the Ottawa Fire Service pres-ence was everywhere, from the fi re trucks which ar-rived with the hearse and funeral procession to the over 100 fi refi ghters in dress uniforms who lined the street across from the church to the fi refi ghters who lined the walkway and steps into the church, saluting as the cas-ket passed them as it was carried into the church, to a eulogy by Rural Sector Chief that described Sterling as the “heart and soul of Station 81” to the traditional and symbolic triple ringing of a bell marking the end of Sterling’s time answering fi re alarms.

While things began in sunshine, the procession to the cemetery, led by Stittsville’s 1927 heritage fi re en-gine, experienced a torrential downpour as the heavens opened up. A clap of thunder, perhaps a salute from the heavens, was heard as the casket left the church , fol-lowed minutes later by a louder clap as the rain poured down. While the fi refi ghters lining Fernbank Road from the church to the Stittsville Main Street intersection and those blocking Stittsville Main Street at the cemetery entrance were pelted with the deluge of rain, most of those walking in the procession including family mem-bers were shielded by umbrellas. The downpour contin-ued through much of the graveside ceremony, although within an hour, sunshine had returned.

This had been the condition of the skies when the casket arrived at the church for the 2 p.m. service of thanksgiving and remembrance.

Email is great but the address has to be exactly correct. The slightest alteration and the email message will bounce back and you will be left scratching your head as to why, especially if the email address is as you were given it.

That is why anyone trying to con-tact Robert Dueck, director of the new Goulbourn Male Chorus, would have been unsuccessful going by the email address printed in last week’s Stittsville News article about the new male chorus.

The email address was printed with a hyphen in the name. But there is no hyphen in the name. Try telling that to the software program which governs the distribution of type in the layout of the various pages of the paper. It is set up to insert hyphens where it deems them appropriate for the proper spacing and placement of the type in columns on a page.

Unfortunately, the software insert-ed a hyphen in Robert Dueck’s email address because the address had to be split over two lines. In went the hyphen and out went the accuracy of the email address.

So, the proper email address to contact Robert Dueck for more in-formation about the new Goulbourn Male Chorus or to indicate an in-terest in joining the new chorus is dueckrobt@gmail.com. That’s it – no hyphens.

And while we are talking about the new Goulbourn Male Chorus, you might be wondering what kind of music it will be singing.

Its repertoire is going to draw from a wide range of musical styles including traditional sacred music such as gospel music and spirituals, light hearted fun concert tunes, folk music, seasonal music and other musical styles.

What about Christmas selections, you ask? Well, some examples will include In the Bleak Midwinter, A Gentleman’s Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, Star of Wonder, and Gloria In Excelsis.

Examples of non-season music that the chorus will sing include Homeward Bound, Steal Away to Jesus, which is an African-Ameri-can spiritual, Down by the Salley Gardens, which is an Irish folk song, Simple Gifts which is a traditional Shaker melody, There is a River in Judea, In Flanders Fields and We’re

the Men of the Chorus.

More infor-mation about member sh ip requirements and other de-tails can be obtained by emailing Mr. Dueck, a Stitts-ville resident, at the above email address (that has no hyphen in it).

There was a packed church in waiting, including an overfl ow crowd in the church basement.

In his words of remembrance at the ser-vice, Sterling’s son Stephen Howie told of the many “hats” worn by his father, includ-ing that of father, poppa, Captain and Mr. Howie. “If there was one word to describe dad, it would be patient,” Stephen said, add-ing that he had perhaps missed his calling as a teacher because he ended up teaching his welding trade to so many and served as a mentor to countless fellow fi refi ghters.

Stephen, who is a city of Ottawa fi refi ghter himself, praised his father’s easy acceptance of others.

“He never spoke poorly of anyone,” he said, adding that perhaps his father’s one fault was that he never said no to anyone, re-sponding to all requests for advice.

And despite the recognition that Sterling received, having the new Stittsville fi re hall named after him in 2000 and being declared Citizen of the Year in 2009, he never sought out recognition or such honours, his son said.

Sector Chief Terry Gervais, who was also Goulbourn township’s fi re chief before amalgamation, praised Sterling Howie in his words of remembrance delivered at the fu-neral. He called Sterling “the most respected member of the fi re service that I had ever worked with in my 30 plus years” in the fi re service.

“He was the heart and soul of Station 81 for all the years I knew him and many years before that,” Chief Gervais continued.

He said that Sterling had a passion for his family, his community, the fi re service and the fi refi ghters at the Stittsville station.

Both he and Stephen Howie talked about Sterling’s familiar grin. Stephen said that his father enjoyed his life as evidenced by the smile he has in all of the photos taken of him. Chief Gervais called it an “outhouse grin”, saying that this grin and the way that Sterling treated people were both very memorable things about the man.

Chief Gervais ended his eulogy by read-ing a poem called “A Firefi ghter’s Gloves”

which he dedicated to Sterling.The offi ciating minister, Rev. Angela Bai-

ley from the Kanata United Church, pointed out that Sterling Howie did much good dur-ing his life and showed great love and de-votion to his community, saying he was re-spected by many.

It was Ottawa Fire Service chief John de-Hooge who presided at the ceremonial ring-ing of the bell, explaining fi rst how the triple ringing of the bell, three claps for each ring, represents the end of life for a fi refi ghter.

“Sterling’s going home,” he said.Sterling Howie was born on April 4, 1943,

the youngest of six children who grew up on the Howie family homestead on the Almon-te Road in Huntley. In the fall of 1963, he married his wife, the former Grace Brydges, after a fi ve year courtship. He had left the family farm in 1962 to work for Glen Scott in Stittsville. In 1963, he started to work for Cliff Switzer’s hardware and welding busi-ness and when Mr. Switzer died in 1978, he assumed ownership of Switzer’s Welding & Repair which he operated until last Novem-ber. It was in the fall of 1967 that he became a volunteer fi refi ghter in Stittsville, rising to become a District Chief before the amalga-mation of municipalities to create the new city of Ottawa in 2001. He then served as a Captain at the Stittsville station, called Sta-tion 81 under the new Ottawa Fire Service.

His family, his work, his fi refi ghting and the outdoors were his passions. He loved to hunt, snowmobile and fi sh. The annual fall experience at the hunt camp was one of his great joys, especially this past fall when there were three generations present.

He died on Sunday, Aug. 15 in hospital with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife Grace, his children Bonnie Harris (Doug), Cheryl Campbell (Russ), Stephen (Connie) and Tanya Belland (Terry) as well as by ten grandchildren, a brother and two sisters. He was predeceased by two broth-ers.

The reception following the funeral and burial was held at the Stittsville fi re station which is named after him. In memoriam do-nations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Diabetes Association would be appreci-ated by the family.

Reducing size of council is not the answerCity of Ottawa mayoralty candidate Jim Watson has come

out with a proposal to reduce the size of Ottawa city council should he become mayor. We doubt that Mr. Watson, consid-ered the leading contender for the mayor’s post, would come out with such a platform plank unless his personal polling had shown that it would prove popular.

There have been some comments made that representation from the rural areas must not be affected by such a reduction in council size. We do not see this happening, mainly be-cause rural representation is so bare-bones already. It cannot get any less in our view.

But we would hope that Stittsville residents will tread lightly regarding this proposal. It may affect how much sup-port Mr. Watson generates in the community but you can be sure that if the size of council is reduced, Stittsville will no longer be a separate ward. It will be lumped in with part of Kanata.

This Stittsville/Kanata area, which now has three council-lors (two in Kanata and one in Stittsville), will undoubtedly be reduced to just two councillors (there’s the one third re-duction in this part of the world).

If this is what people want, then Mr. Watson’s proposal is for you.

But if you value the community standards and spirit that is Stittsville and want to preserve the community’s identity, then you had better think long and hard about a mayoralty candidate who is committed to a reduction in the size of council.

In our view, the size of council is not the issue. It is the caliber of the elected councillors and their tendency to mi-cro-manage things, especially ward matters.

Candidate Watson thinks that reducing the size of council and implementing a borough system which will deal with matters like stop signs will suddenly make the councillors

all visionaries and policy wonks who will not get tied up in local issues. Well, think again, Mr. Watson. Councillors by nature follow the votes and as long as local ward issues are vote grabbers, the councillors will be right in there, right up to their elbows.

So, we think that talking about the size of council and its possible reduction is a quagmire that should be avoided.

And as for the possible two million dollars in savings, who is Mr. Watson kidding? The reduced councillors will argue that they have more territory to look after. They will claim to have more committee work due to their lesser numbers. They will also point to their borough duties as increased work. They will thus argue that they need more staff and resources. These proposed savings will quickly be eaten up as the lesser number of councillors lament their increased workload and their need for more fi nancial support. There will be no savings.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWSThe Stittsville branch of the Ottawa

Public Library is one of the drop-off locations for Child & Youth Friendly Ottawa’s (CAYFO) Tools4School pro-gram.

This is a program that collects new and gently used school supplies and fi -nancial donations in order to help pro-vide thousands of children in Ottawa with much needed school supplies.

This year’s 11th annual campaign is right now in a crisis situation as dona-tions to date will only provide school supplies to 1,000 children, far short of the nearly 5,000 requests which CAYFO has received from community agencies on behalf of needy children.

CAYFO is appealing to Ottawa resi-dents to help it meet all of this year’s requests so that all children, no matter their fi nancial situation, have the oppor-tunity to succeed in school.

Either cash or school supplies are wel-come.

Examples of appropriate school sup-plies to be donated are child and youth sized backpacks, small binders, erasers, rulers, lined paper, colouring pencils, pencil cases, pens, pencil sharpeners, children’s markers, geometry sets, cray-ons and duotangs.

Monetary donations are used to buy school supply kits from CAYFO’s pro-gram partner, Best Tools for Schools.

He has competed and even been a winner at the International Plow-ing Match. He has also judged at the Canadian championships, at International Plowing Matches and at the world championships. He even compiled the fi rst set of judging guidelines for the Ontario plowing group. So, you know that Allen Hills of Goulbourn knows a thing or two about plowing.

He will be at this year’s annual Ottawa-Carleton Plowing Match which is being held this Friday, Aug. 27 and this Saturday, Aug. 28 at a fi eld along Eagleson Road south of Fallowfi eld Road, part of the Bert Smith farm in Goulbourn. But he will be there as a competi-tor, not as a judge, back in the trac-tor seat once again. He will also be there on the Friday giving advice and tips to any members of the public, novice or not, who want to try their hand at plowing.

Allen learned to plow on his fam-ily’s farm in southwestern Ontario and was competing in local plow-ing matches when only 10 years old or so. He plowing in his fi rst International Plowing Match in Alliston in the 1970’s and reached the pinnacle of his plowing career at the 1983 International Plowing Match at Richmond where he cap-tured one fi rst.

“I proved to myself I could plow with the best of them,” he says of this experience but acknowledges that it took a lot of time and effort to be among the best. He would be plowing competitively virtually every weekend as well as spending hours practicing and investing in necessary equipment. He compares it to an avid golfer or anyone who really gets into any hobby – it con-sumes time, effort and resources.

He turned his attention to his business, a tractor sales fi rm that he eventually closed in 1989. He also has led a number of 4H Clubs over the years, dealing with farm machinery and plowing.

But through a friend, he ended up attending a judging school and now has been judging plowing competitions for the past decade or so. He was the judge in chief at the International Plowing Match in Navan in 2001 and he has judged at the Canadian championships as well as at the world championships in 2007. He will also be judging at

this year’s International Plowing Match.

Allen also put down in writing the fi rst set of judging guidelines for the Ontario plowmen’s group.

And just what do these guidelines tell us about plowing.

Well, the attributes of good plowing include straight furrows, uniform furrows from one end of the fi eld to the other, conformity of furrows (all are the same regard-ing depth, width, shape and ap-pearance when compared to one another), shape of the furrow, dis-tinctness of the furrow, closeness and packing, fi rmness, covering of

vegetation (all grass, stubble and trash or old crop residue is com-pletely buried), soil availability (suffi cient soil in fi rm furrows to result in an optimum bed for the seed), level from start to fi nish and neatness. These are the basic char-acteristics of plowing that a judge looks for. But Mr. Hills notes that judging these characteristics is all very subjective.

“We’re constantly on the hot seat,” he says about judges as a re-sult of this subjectivity.

Plowing is one of the oldest tillage meth-ods known to man, with plows dating back to at least 2000 B.C. The goal is to transform land into a productive seedbed. Good plow-ing will prepare a seedbed with a top layer of soil that will easily surround newly planted seed and encourage germination; will help control weeds; will assist in the degradation of mulch into organic matter; will increase water retention; and will improve soil aera-tion.

Mr. Hills says that people compete in plowing matches because they are part of a fraternity that is based on celebrating the tradition of plowing and of agriculture in

general. “We have gone back to the pure art and

science of plowing,” he says about competi-tive plowing.

Plowing, though, still plays an important part in modern agriculture. Proper plowing can save a farmer time, fuel and ‘wear and tear’ on equipment. It still remains part of a farmer’s tillage procedures, done at least every three years.

Judges use the same score sheet for horse plowing as tractor plowing but horse fur-rows tend to stand up on edge more because of the narrower width of the plow. But de-spite this difference, Mr. Hills is in the camp that believes that judges should use the same benchmarks, whether judging plowing with

a horse or a tractor and whether the tractor has a two, three or four furrow plow.

“We’re looking for the same thing,” he says in explaining how a judge should ap-proach the different classes of plowing.

Plowing with a pair of horses, while always popular at International Plowing Matches, has fewer competitors. This is because there is a lot of training involved in preparing the horses for such a task.

The area of plowing that is seeing growth is in the antique plowing category. Mr. Hills attributes this to the fact that there are more retirees around today who have the time to take up the hobby. In addition, the equipment needed is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared with the tractor and equip-

ment needed by a competitor in the regular tractor classes.

Mr. Hills notes that one of the challenges with local plowing matches these days is fi nding a location. He admits that there is some inconvenience to the landowner in re-working the fi eld that is somewhat chopped up by the plowing match but he says that hosting a match is one way for a farmer to support the agricultural community.

He says that a challenge is trying to fi nd a site where the plowing match can be held in late August or September, before the Inter-national Plowing Match. This means that the site must have any crop taken off by the time of the match, something that cannot happen if the crop is corn or soybeans.

“Stittsville Has Talent” is going to be held at this year’s Stittsville Villagefest on Saturday, Sept. 11. All that is needed now is the local talent. All ages and all forms of entertainment are welcome.

Anyone interested in taking part in “Stittsville Has Talent” should contact Evelyn Leroux by email at lashleroux@sympatico.ca

This talent program will be just one of the new things at this year’s Villagefest celebrations.

There is going to be a scarecrow

theme to things this year, with contests held for those turning up in scarecrow costumes. It prom-ises to be a lot of fun and there will be more forthcoming on this later.

Villagefest this year will also be featuring live entertainment on

stage as well as games and activi-ties as in the past.

Villagefest this year has been moved up to Saturday, Sept. 11 to try to ensure good weather. Last year Villagefest was held on the fi rst weekend in October and al-though the weather held, there

was always the danger that the event would be wiped out by bad weather, thwarting all of the effort that goes into organizing a com-munity event like this.

Villagefest is a community event organized by the Stittsville Village Association.

STITTSVILLE INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE CENTRE

Holistic approach to health careJOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

It is located in one of Stittsville’s older buildings. But this is the only thing that the new Stittsville Integrative Medicine Centre has to do with the past, because it is what some would term on the lead-ing edge of modern medicine. As its name suggests, it is offering a full range of health-related services under one roof, providing a holistic approach to health

care.But Dr. Jeffrey Balon, the family phy-

sician who is heading the Stittsville In-tegrated Medicine Centre, does love the new clinic’s premises perhaps not for their history as the longtime McCaffrey family home but for their location. Situ-ated at 1538 Stittsville Main Street, which is on the west side of the street between Vos Trailers to the south and the munici-pal parking lot to the north, the building

is only a short walk or ride away from his Stittsville home and he loves that be-cause it is the fi rst time in his career that he has ever been able to walk to work. Indeed, when he was in Toronto, he could be commuting for up to two hours to get to his workplace.

Location aside, though, what excites Dr. Balon most is that he is putting into practice at this new clinic his belief that medicine and health care should be deliv-ered in an integrated, holistic way.

“Too often health care is administered on a piecemeal basis,” he says. “We be-lieve that our holistic approach will prove to be more fl exible and effi cient.”

What this means is that under the one roof at 1538 Stittsville Main Street can be found a myriad of medical and health-related services, with all of the provid-ers working as a team to ensure that the patient receives the best treatment from the one best qualifi ed to provide it. The services available include a family physi-cian, a nurse and a nurse practitioner stu-dent, a chiropractor, a message therapist, a psychologist, a dental hygienist and an exercise specialist.

How does this all work?Well, Dr. Balon, who is also a chiro-

practor by the way, may come across a patient with a back problem. As a medi-cal doctor, he can only do so much in the way of treatment, mainly drug related. But he also knows what a chiropractor can do in such a circumstance and so he will refer the patient to chiropractor Dr. Steven Blenkarn who has moved his longstanding Stittsville practice to the Stittsville Integrative Medicine Centre.

Dr. Blenkarn, who fi rst established his practice at the Stittsville Lions Medical Centre in 1983, now has several treatment rooms at the new clinic. He is also happy because his patients now have ready ac-cess to a family physician and the other services being offered at the Stittsville Integrative Medicine Centre. It’s a win-win situation.

“We’re all part of a team,” Dr. Blenkarn says about his new situation.

Dr. Balon believes that patients of the Stittsville Integrative Medicine Centre will receive quicker, more personalized care than elsewhere because, quite simply, good patient service is essential to this integrat-ed model. This will ensure that the integrative model is sustainable, with all of the service providers generating the revenue needed to keep them in business.

At a formal opening of the new clinic, the concept of such an inte-grated concept for the delivery of medical and health care services was praised by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Calling it “the supermarket of health care,” he noted that retail giants such as Walmart and Lo-blaws are evolving to offer more than just groceries in their stores and so why cannot the health care profession diversify as well and of-fer more under one roof.

Councillor Qadri also expressed pleasure that the new clinic was located in the downtown section of Stittsville Main Street that needs revitalization and is starting to see it.

Dr. Balon acknowledges that the clinic is starting off small but future plans call for an expansion. He hopes to attract one or two more physicians who are, like himself, committed to the integrated ap-proach to health care. He also sees running or walking groups using the clinic as a home base.

A self-confessed athlete most of his life, Dr. Balon believes in the connection between exercise and good health.

“I’ve always been pro exercise,” he says but he also acknowledges his limitations as a doctor, explain-ing that he can advise his patients to exercise but for most doctors this is where it ends. But now, at his new clinic, Dr. Balon has teamed up with Pierre Gaudet, an exercise

physiologist who has worked with both Olympic and professional athletes and will now be bringing his leading-edge exercise concepts to the clinic’s patients. The clinic has a treadmill and other exercise equipment in a basement area that patients will be able to use but do not have to if they prefer to work out elsewhere. What Pierre Gaudet will do is undertake an assessment of a patient and provide an appro-priate exercise program that has been developed based on the pa-tient’s individual needs, both medi-cal and lifestyle.

This is all based on the belief, as shown in studies, that exercise provides the biggest impact that a person can have on his or her own health. Exercise helps diminish the risk of disease by 50 percent, Pierre Gaudet says.

Dr. Balon agrees, saying that exercise has a place in the fi ght against any chronic disease. Health does not just happen in his view. “It’s the little things you do,” he says, noting that people are able to take control over some of their health through exercise.

“It’s pretty hard to come up with a reason why you cannot exercise,” Dr. Balon says.

The Stittsville Integrative Medi-cine Centre has two dental hygien-ists who currently offer a limited range of services such as dental whitening but will be offering a full range of dental hygiene services in the future. There is also a massage therapist at the clinic as well as a fi tness trainer and a psychologist. A nutritionist should also be on board soon.

The Stittsville Integrative Medi-cine Centre can be contacted for any of its services – family medi-cine, chiropractic, massage thera-py, dental hygiene, exercise testing and personalized fi tness and well-ness programs - at 613-836-1711 or via email at info@stittsinmed.com. New patients are welcomed.

Entries wanted for Fair parade JOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

Everybody loves a parade. We all know that. And there is nothing better than watching the fl oats and bands and antique vehicles slow go by on parade day.

Ops. There may be one thing that is even better than being a spectator at a parade like the annual Richmond Fair parade. And that’s being a participant in the pa-rade.

There’s all the fun of getting the fl oat ready and then there’s the excitement of lining up with the other fl oats. This, though, is nothing like the thrill of moving slowly along the parade route, waving to the specta-tors and listening to their comments about the fl oat.

It’s quite a way to advertize a business as well, with so many people seeing the fl oat and getting the mes-sage loud and clear that, yes, there is a business that

supports the community and in turn deserves support.Well, right now, the 2010 Richmond Fair parade is

looking for entries for the annual event. It will be tak-ing place on Saturday, Sept. 18 this year.

Once again, the entries will form up at South Car-leton High School and at 11 a.m., will be heading off, making its way along McBean Street. At the Richmond Bakery corner at Perth Street, the parade will swing east on Perth Street and go in front of the fairgrounds before dispersing.

It is always a great experience, with the route lined with appreciative spectators.

Anyone who wants to enter a fl oat or other entry in this year’s Richmond Fair parade can register by call-ing Marlene at 613-838-2600 or Lise at 613-838-9618. Entries are also being accepted via email at mardale@storm.ca or at lisebradley@hotmail.com.

Councillor’s ColumnCity of Ottawa

Councillor ReportsBy Shad Qadri,

Councillor Ward Six Stittsville

City of Ottawa

A positive step for the future of LRTIt’s encouraging that the Ministry of Environment recently approved the Environmental Assessment to Ottawa’s LRT project.

The announcement made by the Province last week solidifies that the vision of LRT for Ottawa is on track. The EA examined the potential impact of the planned 12.5 kilometres of light rail transit line from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Station and a tunnel through the downtown. The City submitted a report to the province in June of 2010 that examined everything from noise and vibration levels to air and water quality as well, preservation of vegetation, wildlife and local heritage sites along the planned route, such as the Rideau Canal.

Approval of the EA is a big step towards securing the province’s contribution and federal EA approval. Results of the EA will be incorporated into the City’s next steps for the project such as property acquisition and preliminary engineering.

This is news is a big positive for all residents of Ottawa for the future of transit in our city.

Emergency culvert replacement on TransCanada TrailI would like to notify residents that the City needs to replace a culvert on the Trans Canada Trail that must be completed immediately due to contractor restrictions and permit restrictions from the Mississippi Valley Conservation.

The culvert is located approximately 800 metres west of the entrance at Abbott Street and West Ridge Drive

(adjacent to the lookout). The trail will be closed between the entrance at Abbott and West Ridge and the entrance at Jikinson Road. The work will be commencing on Monday, August 30 and should be completed by end of day on September 1.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience during this time.

Open house for proposed development I am encouraging residents to attend an open house that is scheduled for September 9 in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex regarding a proposed development for the northwest corner of Terry Fox Drive and Fernbank Road in Kanata.

The open house begins at 4:30 pm and will conclude at 8 pm.

The proponent has submitted to the City of Ottawa to rezone the lands to GM1 - General Mixed Use Zone, Sub zone 1. The subject site is designated Neighbourhood Commercial in the Fernbank Community Design Plan (FCDP). Retail food stores and automotive uses (such as gas bars, service stations, and car washes) shall only be permitted in the Neighbourhood commercial designation location at Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive, subject to the design guidelines of the CDP.

Through the Fernbank Community Design Plan and the implementing Official Plan Amendment (OPA 77) the site has been designated as “Neighbourhood Commercial”. The permitted uses include the following: Convenience stores, personal service businesses, banks or other financial services, business, medical and

professional services, restaurants, retail food stores and automotive uses.

Representatives from the owner, City Staff and consultants will be on hand to answer any questions. For more information, please visit my website at www.shadqadri.com <http://www.shadqadri.com> to view the concept design.

Power outages updateI understand the frequency of power outages is growing increasingly frustrating. It’s an issue that residents have dealing with for quite some time and I find it unacceptable.

It’s important for me to able to relay information to residents as soon as these issues happen and I understand that many don’t have access to e-mail during power outages. Many residents have access to e-mail at work or through wireless device and are able to pass on the information to a neighbour, friend or family member by other means.

While we work towards a solution, I ask for your patience and understanding during this time. We are all looking to get this matter resolved and I will continue to work on behalf of residents with Hydro Ottawa to make that happen.

Project underway to make cycling routes safer The City’s Cycling Safety Evaluation Project is assessing the conditions of Ottawa’s cycling network while prioritizing the unsafe locations and developing cycling safety improvement initiatives. In addition, the project will include an ongoing annual safety assessment.

Ottawa has an extensive and well-used cycling network of on and off-road facilities and an active cycling community that promotes the benefits and use of this network. The City strives to improve both the safety and comfort of the network for all cyclists. You can help make the cycling network that much safer by completing the online survey at www.ottawa.ca/cycling.

If you cycle the same route and are aware of patterns and risks at specific locations, we encourage you to share this information with us. By identifying the most hazardous intersections that you encounter, you are helping the City prioritize potential sites for improvement. Your ideas and observations are appreciated and will complement the project’s technical analysis.

I encourage you to take part in the survey that will assist in identifying your concerns and coming up with any solutions.

Always listening and acting on your concernsAs 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.

My ward office is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, located at 1500 Shea Road. The hours of operation for the summer are Mondays 9-1pm, Wednesdays 3-7pm, Fridays 9-4pm, and Saturday 9-12pm. Please do not hesitate to pay us a visit.

‘High School Musical’ at Village SquareSPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Tuesday movie nights at Village Square in Stittsville are ending on a high note this coming Tuesday, Aug. 31.

The series, which began on Tuesday, Aug. 10 and has been running every Tuesday night since then, will wrap up with “High School Musical.”

Youth Connexion, which encourages youth activities in the community, is spon-soring these free Stittsville Summer 2010 Movie Nights at the Village Square park which is at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in the heart of Stittsville. The movie will begin, as all of the others, at 9 p.m. Those attending are urged to bring along chairs or blankets for

seating. There will be drinks and snacks available for purchase. “High School Mu-sical”, which some say is a modern adapta-tion of the Shakespearean classic “Romeo and Juliet,” is a story about two high school students from rival cliques. Troy Bolton is captain of the basketball team while Ga-briella Montez is a student who is good is math and science. “High School Musical” is the most successful fi lm produced so far by Disney Channel Original Movies. The fi lm’s soundtrack was the best selling al-bum in 2006 in the United States.

For more information, please contact Youth Connexion at 613-580-2424, ext. 43307 or email youthconnexion@ottawa.ca.

Richmond Fair goes onlineJOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

The Richmond Fair has entered the online world.

This year exhibitors can enter online. So far, the re-sponse to this online avail-ability for exhibitor regis-tration is working well in the view of Richmond Ag-ricultural Society secretary and general manager Dale Greene.

“I’m getting a great re-sponse so far, so I’m excited about that,” he said last Sat-urday.

There is an added benefi t to online registration in that there is no need for the Agri-cultural Society to input the information to the Society’s database as in the past.

Last year about 80 percent of exhibitors for the Rich-mond Fair emailed in their entries which indicated to Mr. Greene that many were familiar with computers. This provided the impetus to offer online registration this year.

It took several weeks of Mr. Greene working with a programmer to work out the

program so that the online registration provided the in-formation needed.

The Richmond Fair is one of four local fairs that are using this online registra-tion this year. The others are Spencerville, Metcalfe and Carp.

Mr. Greene had made pre-sentations on the matter at recent district fair meetings to get the online registration underway.

“It’s progressive,” he said, noting that about a dozen fairs in Ontario now use such online registration.

Back to SchoolTraditional Textbooks May Be Replaced by E-Readers(MS) - E-readers are palm-sized electronic devices that can offer newspapers, magazines and books as digital content. While they can be convenient for the recreational reader, e-books may be a boon to students as well.

The e-reader market exploded when Amazon introduced its Kindle and Kindle 2. Sony, Barnes & Noble and other companies have also introduced their own e-reader devices. While the mainstay of e-reader revenue is generated from downloaded fiction and nonfiction books, e-book reader companies are realizing the benefits of offering digital versions of textbooks as well. Amazon has already contracted with three textbook companies to offer digital editions. This could mark the move from cumbersome textbooks to compact information.

Many professors already instruct their students to go online for information, to read blogs or download digital content from Web sites capable of staying current in today’s increasingly fast news cycle. Soon they may be instructing them to purchase the latest editions of textbooks delivered right to an e-reader device.

There are several advantages to having textbook material available for e-readers. The first, and most obvious, is the weight issue. The average college student takes 5 classes per semester. That can equal 5 or more textbooks to purchase, each weighing several pounds. A student has the potential to be carrying 50 pounds on his or her back at any given time, and that can lead to injury. In comparison, most e-readers weigh just a few ounces and can hold a thousand books or more, depending on file size. A student can carry all of the required textbooks right in a back pocket.

Traditional Textbooks May Be Replaced by E-ReadersThe next advantage is cost. While e-readers require an up-front cost of roughly $300, some textbooks can cost as much. Although the cost of textbook material delivered to an e-reader is still unknown, and likely based on the indi-vidual publisher, it may be more affordable than on-campus book store prices. Also, should a traditional textbook be lost, a student has to repurchase it. Many e-readers feature back-up ability, where a previously purchased book can be retrieved free from a database or storage device.

Convenience is another factor for e-books. Students simply browse wirelessly for their desired reading and download it in mere min-utes. This is certainly more time-efficient than waiting on long lines at the campus bookstore or waiting for books to be delivered through the mail from online sources.

E-readers have the potential to be successful for school use, but they need to have the sup-port of professors behind them. For a device like e-readers to garner broad acceptance, institutions may need to make the devices part

of the school’s requirements. This is similar to many schools requiring all students own a laptop. Students who are unable to afford an e-reader may be subsidized for the device or be able to use student loans to pay for them.

E-readers can be advantageous in the class-room and students can also use them for their own personal purposes. BS107658

Heavy textbooks may be replaced in the future as

more schools adopt the use of

e-readers to disseminate

classroom materials.

The Stittsville 56ers did it again.The defending Greater Ottawa Fastball

League champions came from behind for the second straight game to win their best-of-three fi rst round playoff series against the Barrhaven Broadway Blues. The 56ers, fourth place fi nishers in the regular season, now move on to the second round of the playoffs. Barrhaven Broadway Blues, fi fth place fi nishers in the regular season, are now fi nished for the season.

Playing in Manotick on Wednesday, Aug. 18, the 56ers fell behind Barrhaven 5-0 after two innings and were down 6-0 after four in-nings before starting their comeback.

A two run triple by Scott Herriot narrowed the gap to 6-2 in the fi fth inning but the 56ers still had a long way to go.

The gap was just about eliminated when Scott Jessiman blasted an opposite fi eld, three run homer in the sixth inning, narrow-ing the score to only 6-5 for Barrhaven.

In the top of the seventh inning, the 56ers tied the score when Scott Herriot scored from third base when Darren Featherstone hit into

a fi eld’s choice with the bases loaded. Ryan Bond’s single then scored the go-ahead sev-enth run for the 56ers.

It was then up to the 56ers to keep Bar-rhaven off the scoresheet in the bottom of the seventh inning.

To do this, coach John Craig called in Dan Bradley as pitcher. The fi rst Barrhaven bat-ter singled and moved to second on a sacri-fi ce bunt. But then Bradley settled down on the mound and struck out the next two Bar-rhaven batters to ensure the 7-6 victory for the 56ers.

Darren Featherstone had pitched the fi rst six innings of the game for the 56ers.

Scott Herriot ended the game going three for four at bat for the 56ers. Ryan Bond also had a good game, picking up two hits in four at-bats.

The 56ers had won the opening game of the series against Barrhaven on Wednes-day, Aug. 11 at Alexander Grove in Stitts-ville thanks to another comeback including a game-ending walk-off three run homer by Scott Parsons. This gave the 56ers an 8-5 victory. Barrhaven had led 5-2 going into the bottom of the seventh inning.

Even the ultimate winner, Cole Kent of Peterborough, commented on the very fast greens at the Copetown Woods Golf Club, site of the Mizuno Canadian Junior Golf Association (GJGA) National Golf Championship last week. Competitor Ryan Turner of Stittsville would agree with this assessment of the greens, call-ing them “quick” and some of the fastest ones that he has experienced.

But despite the speed of the greens, Ryan never once three putted during the two rounds which he played in the com-petition and he never missed a putt within six feet. He found that if he just took his putter back and stroked the ball properly, the ball would roll true on these greens.

Indeed, his putter almost saved the day for him in his second round and came oh-so-close to getting him into the fi nal two rounds. Thinking that he needed birdies on the last three holes to make the cut, he came close, with each of his putts on the last three hopes lipping out – he was that close to making his sought-after birdies.

As it turned out, he would have needed four birdies rather than three to make the cut as he ended up shooting rounds of 87 and then 79 on the par 72, 6965 yard Copetown Woods Golf Club near Hamil-ton, Ontario, considered one of the best courses in Ontario.

Playing in the boys’ age 15 to 19 cate-gory, Ryan, who is 17, admits that he had a lot of struggles getting his tee shot in

play at Copetown Woods which is a links style course with no trees, lots of bunkers and the aforementioned fast greens. He found that the wind always seemed to be blowing across the course, making it more diffi cult to control a shot.

Ryan acknowledges that chipping and putting is the strength of his game, al-though he admits that he is usually pretty straight off the tee.

“I like to call myself a scrambler,” he says, adding that when he does get in trouble, he can usually get out of it.

Despite missing the cut at this national championship, Ryan enjoyed the experi-ence.

“It was fun,” he says.He earned his invitation to this Mu-

zuno CJGA National Golf Championship by fi nishing second in a CJGA qualify-ing event at the Eagle Creek Golf Club at Dunrobin earlier this season. Players from across Canada, including from Brit-ish Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Que-bec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and, of course, Ontario played in the championship which ran from Monday, Aug. 16 to Thursday, Aug. 19. A total of 74 golfers played in the boys age 15-19 category, with 46 making the cut after two rounds. A total of 163, three less than Ryan’s 166 total, was needed to make the cut.

Ryan was not able to play a practice round at Copetown Woods on the Sunday before play began because he was com-peting in the club championship at the Canadian Golf and Country Club, one of

the two local courses where he belongs. He is a member at both the Canadian as well as at the Kanata Lakes Golf Club. He fi nds that playing at these two courses helps his game because of their differ-ences: Kanata Lakes has larger and quick greens while the Canadian is a tighter course with accuracy required. He usu-ally plays two or three rounds a week at each course if he is not involved in com-petition that week.

Ryan started playing golf for leisure three or four years ago and started play-ing in local tournaments two years ago. He readily admits to liking the competi-tive environment and this year, besides playing in the Muzuno CJGA National Golf Championship, he played in the pro-vincials at Quebec City, just missing the cut with rounds of 80 and 77.

He says that he likes the individual nature of golf where the result relies on what a person himself does.

His ultimate goal is to earn a golf schol-arship to a school in the southern Unit-ed States where he could play all year round.

Going into grade 12 at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville this September, Ryan will be wrapping up his golf season playing for the school’s golf team, just like he has done for the past two years.

During the winter, he will try to hit some balls at Kevin Haime’s golf driving range which has heaters set up to allow winter golfi ng. Ryan likes to hit on the range rather than indoors so that he can see the fl ight of the ball.

Sixteen year old Bradley Dool of Goulbourn hopes to be racing be-fore thousands of fans at Olympic Stadium in Montreal at the begin-ning of October.

Brad is now recognized as the top junior motocross racer in Can-ada and he has the coveted Bronze Boot to prove it.

But coming off his Boot win-ning performance at the national championships in Walton, Ontario,

Brad is now look-ing forward to try-ing to qualify for the Montreal Supercross event and then rac-ing before a packed Olympic Stadium.

Supercross is dif-ferent than motocross in terms of the size of the jumps but this is no problem for Brad. He is going to be able to practice on newly built Supercross jumps at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park on Conley Road west of Richmond. It helps to have a father, Steve, who not only serves as his chief mechanic but also is one of the co-owners of the Sand Del Lee facility. Steve also raced in motocross locally back in the 1970’s.

It was when he was eight years old that Brad fi rst visited Sand Del Lee as a spot to use a remote con-trol truck. That was where he was exposed to motocross bikes for the fi rst time and he ended up getting his fi rst bike soon after. He com-peted in his fi rst race that fall at the Rideau Carleton Raceway which used to have a motocross track.

Now fast forward to this year

when Brad qualifi ed for the na-tional championship at the Walton, Ontario track on Sunday, Aug. 15 thanks to his performances in sev-eral Quebec races. He was thus able to compete at Walton along with 41 other qualifying racers from all across Canada.

At Walton, Brad accumulated the most points in the three races in which he competed, meriting

the Bronze Boot recognizing him as the top junior motocross racer in Canada.

“He’s the top amateur rider in Canada in those classes,” his father Steve proudly says, adding that the Bronze Boot is the most coveted amateur award in motocross rac-ing in the country.

Walton was also a special experience for Brad because he celebrated his birthday that weekend as well, turning 16.

Next season Brad will be moving up to the intermediate category in motocross and he hopes that after one year in intermediate, he will be able to enter the professional class the following year.

“This is the goal – to become the top pro in Canada,” Brad says.

Besides his racing, Brad teaches at the mo-tocross camps which had held at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park during the week in the summer. It helps that he lives just a couple of kilometers away from the track, so he is able to be at the track at lot.

He likes motocross not only because of the feeling that he gets riding a bike but he feels that being involved in the sport keeps him focused and out of trouble.

Besides, he says, the track is a nice place to be around.

Brad, who is going into grade 11 at South Carleton High School in Richmond this September, usually is able to practice for a couple of hours after school, both in the fall and in the spring.

His father Steve notes that training and physical condition are important in moto-cross racing, calling it one of the most phys-ically demanding of sports. He says that a motocross racer has to be in great physical and mental condition.

Brad readily agrees.

“Your body has to be in tip top shape for sure,” he says, while also agreeing that there is a mental aspect to the sport as well.

He says that he is currently working on his endurance and his consistency, noting that consistency is a key. As long as a person is consistent, you will fi nish near the top, he says.

While Brad prefers a dry track for racing, he is not adverse to muddy conditions.

“I like the mud,” he says. “I don’t mind it.”

However, rain is another matter. Rainy conditions affect goggles and visibility and impact the racing.

Selection of the proper line or route on the track, good starts and proper height on jumps are among the keys for success in mo-tocross racing.

Many racers follow the same line or route around the track which then becomes very highly travelled. The better racers try to fi nd a different untraveled route that perhaps gives them an advantage.

Too much height or air on jumps can lose a racer time. There is a technique known as “soaking up the jump” that allows a racer to go lower and fl atten out in the air. This allows a racer to be faster going into a jump and still end up landing in the proper spot. Brad has managed to master this technique.

A start is really about half the race, Brad says, explaining that getting out in or near the front of the fi eld at the start is important as then the racer does not have to laborious-ly work his way up through the fi eld. This

means practicing the start and the reaction time to when the starting gate opens.

“I have always been pretty good on my starts, so it’s working good,” says Brad.

Brad has been riding Yamaha bikes since he was about ten years old and Yamaha Can-ada is one of his sponsors.

“They have been working well,” Brad says about his bikes. “I love them.”

Brad is fortunate that his dad Steve, who worked in a bike shop at one time, does all of the mechanical work on his bikes. “He’s great at it,” Brad says about his dad’s work on the bikes.

JOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

One passenger died and another was taken to hospital in critical condition after a two vehicle colli-sion in the westbound lanes of the four-lane highway 7 west of Stitts-ville last Saturday.

Just after 1:30 p.m., police, fi re and paramedic services responded to the collision which happened between Hazeldean Road and Spruce Ridge Road.

A green 2010 Toyota driven by Pierre Duvall, a 66 year old male from Val Des Monts, Quebec was westbound on highway sev-en when it moved onto the right paved shoulder before making a left turn towards an emergency vehicle turnaround. In so doing, it went across the path of a west-bound black 2009 Hyundai Elantra which was following it. The Elan-tra, driven by a 31 year old male from Ottawa, was unable to avoid the turning Toyota and struck its left, driver’s side.

At the time of the collision, there

were three females, all sisters, in the Toyota as well as the male driver. These three sisters were the deceased, Claudette Clement, 67; Monique Charette, 63, of Gatineau, Quebec; and Yolande Charette, 66, also of Gatineau, Quebec.

There were two male occupants from Ottawa in the Elantra. David MacDiarmid, 31, of Ottawa was the driver of the Elantra. He was able to slow down but was unable to avoid hitting the Toyota, strik-ing its left side in the collision. Mathieu Dube, 33, of Ottawa was in the passenger front seat of the Elantra.

One of the Toyota’s female pas-sengers, the 67 year old who was sitting in the back seat, was pro-nounced dead at the scene by Ot-tawa Paramedics. She was later identifi ed by police as Claudette Clement from Plaisance, Quebec. Another woman, aged 63, a pas-senger in the back seat as well and later identifi ed as Monique Cha-rette, was transported to hospital by air ambulance in critical condi-

tion. She was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the collision.

Three others injured in the col-lision were transported to hospital by Ottawa Paramedic land units with non-life threatening injuries.

Ottawa Fire Service fi refi ghters called to the scene had to remove the doors of the Toyota to give paramedics access to the trapped persons. The extrication took ten minutes.

After the collision, a number of members of the public stopped and assisted at the scene, providing help and comfort to the injured.

The Ontario Provincial Police

reminds drivers not to use the emergency vehicle turn arounds that are found along four lane highways like highway 7. In the past few years, several serious col-lisions have taken place in the city of Ottawa as a result of motorists trying to turn around using these emergency vehicle turn arounds.

In addition, the Ontario Provin-cial Police reminds all occupants of vehicles to wear their seat belts at all times. Those not wearing seat belts become projectiles inside a vehicle in a collision, making them subject to personal harm as well as

a danger to others in the vehicle.Highway 7 westbound from Ha-

zeldean Road to Dwyer Hill Road had one lane closed for about two and a half hours because of the collision. It then had both lanes closed for three hours to enable a police investigation to take place. During this closure, a detour was set up using Flewellyn Road. The highway was reopened to full traf-fi c at 7 p.m.

The Ontario Provincial Police report that alcohol was not a fac-tor in the collision. The collision is under investigation by the police.

New Friday evening TaeKwonDo programSPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The Goulbourn TaeKwonDo Club is offering a new Friday eve-ning program at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville this fall.

The Club’s two long-running programs offered at Goulbourn Middle School will continue to run this fall. All three of these pro-grams this fall will have a focus on health, fi tness and enjoyment along with traditional TaeKwonDo martial arts.

But while the Goulbourn Middle School programs will be one your in length as in previous years, the new program at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex will not only be longer at one and a half hours in duration but it will include more than just the traditional TaeKwon-Do training.

While the fi rst hour of the pro-gram will be devoted to traditional TaeKwonDo, the fi nal half hour will allow the participant to choose from kick boxing, weapons, spar-ring or poomsae.

All three programs will con-tinue to be led by Master Stephen Yeoh, just like he has for the past 25 years. During this quarter cen-tury of leading the Goulbourn Tae-KwonDo Club, Master Yeoh has seen over 200 students attain their black belt level.

In last spring’s session, the Goul-bourn TaeKwonDo Club saw 32 out of its 72 students test for their next belt level.

Master Yeoh is assisted by lead instructor Derek O’Connell.

The Goulbourn TaeKwonDo Club operates through the city of Ottawa’s recreation department.

The Goulbourn Middle School programs this fall will run on Mondays and Thursdays as they have in the past.

Both these Goulbourn Middle School programs and the new Fri-day evening program at the Goul-bourn Recreation Complex will

be family oriented with the cur-riculum directed towards children, teens and adults.

Registration for these Goulbourn TaeKwonDo programs is now open as the sessions get underway during the week of Sept. 20. Reg-istration can be done online at the city of Ottawa’s website (http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/parks_recreation/programs/guide/regis-tration_en.html).

Registration can also be done at any city of Ottawa recreation of-fi ce including at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville.

It must be noted that due to the extended length (an hour and a half) of the Friday program, the fee for the fall session will be $132. The fee for the Monday or Thursday one hour program at Goulbourn Middle School will be $96.

It should be noted as well, though, that since the Goulbourn TaeKwonDo Club program is a fully registered sports program, tax receipts will be issued and can be used for income tax deductions.

The Monday program at Goul-bourn Middle School will run from 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., starting on Monday, Sept. 20 and running through to Monday, Dec. 13. To register a child (ages 6-13 years), use code 462579 while adult regis-trants should use code 462411.

The Thursday program at Goul-bourn Middle School will run from 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., starting on Thursday, Sept. 23 and running through to Thursday, Dec. 9. To register a child (ages 6-13 years), use code 462583 while adult regis-trants should use code 462423.

The new Friday program at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., starting on Friday, Sept. 24 and running through to Friday, Dec. 10. To register a child (ages 6-13 years), use code 458038 while adult registrants should use code

458054.For more information about the

Goulbourn TaeKwonDo Club and

its programs, please see Master Stephen Yeoh’s website at http://syeohtkd.com or call Goulbourn

Richmond Lodge seeking volunteersJOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

Are you a crafter? Are you a musi-cian? Do you like to play cards? Or do you just like to chat with people? If any of this fi ts you or if there is something else that you do, then the Richmond Lodge retirement resi-dence in Richmond wants to talk to you.

Right now the Richmond Lodge is looking for volunteers, 18 years of age and over, who would be willing to share their skills or talents or just themselves with Lodge residents. It would be for as little as one hour a week and could involved crafting with some residents, playing music, enjoying a game of cards or scrabble with residents, playing indoor horse-shoes or simply sitting and chatting with residents. There is so much that can be done and you can rest assured that your efforts would be greatly appreciated by the Lodge residents.

There is also an opportunity at the Lodge for people willing to share experiences with residents, either through conversations with resi-dents or perhaps with presentations. For example, showing travel slides from some far-off spot would be one example of a one-time presentation that would no doubt interest Lodge residents. Music is always a winner with Lodge residents. An appear-ance by a fi ddler or a musical group would meet with great response from them.

These volunteer opportunities ex-ist for both during the week as well as on weekends. There are no formal staff-planned activities at the Lodge on weekends, so having volun-teer involvement then would be an added bonus for residents. For more information about how you could be a volunteer at the Richmond Lodge retirement home, please contact Pa-mela Holm at the Lodge on Perth Street at 613-838-5016.

90th birthday, Walk…Bud Sager of Stittsville celebrated

his 90th birthday on Saturday, Aug. 21….Karen Nielsen of Stittsville is founder and organizer of the Walk in the Park for Sci-eroderma. The recent second annual walk, held at Lac Leamy in Gatineau, raised over $10,000. The event is designed not only to raise funds for research but also to in-crease public awareness of Scleroderma. It is a chronic, often progressive autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis. In these diseases, the body’s immune system attacks its own tis-sues. Scleroderma, which literally means “hard skin,” can cause thickening and tightening of the skin as well as damage to internal organs including the lungs, heart and kidneys. The disease can have a seri-ous impact on daily life and for some can be life-threatening. It occurs three to four times more often in women than men. It is neither hereditary or contagious. Medica-tion may help manage some of the symp-toms but there is no cure as yet….

Young violinistplays at serviceTen year old violinist Malcolm Yeh performed

at the Stittsville United Church service last Sun-day morning.

He was accompanied on the piano by the church’s music director Doll Creelman.

Malcolm, who played several of his Grade 5 Royal Conservatory of Music pieces at the church, will be attending Knoxdale Elementary School this September after completing grade four at Roch Carrier Elementary School in Bridlewood. Malcom’s violin teacher is Marcel Tirian who has coached him since he was fi ve years old.

PLANNERS SAY YES; COUNCILLOR, SVA SAY NO

JOHN CURRYNEWS STAFF

Both city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and the Stittsville Village Association are opposed to a re-zoning that will allow a fi ve storey mixed use building along Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville. The city’s planning department, however, agrees with the rezoning to allow the building and is recommending its approval.

These two competing forces will be coming together at this week’s planning and environment committee meeting where the rezoning is on the agenda and will be up for a decision.

The fi ve storey building is part of a commercial/residential development proposed for a 0.7 hectare site on Stittsville Main Street immediately north of the Stittsville Legion Hall. Besides the proposed fi ve storey building along the street, the development includes fi ve three-storey residential build-ings on the remaining rear portion of the site.

The existing zoning on the site allows for an 11 metre height. The proposed building requires a 15 metre height provision in the zoning.

Originally there were 36 stacked residential units in six buildings proposed for the rear of the site. However, revi-sions to the plan in response to concerns expressed by coun-cillor Qadri and the public has resulted in a reduction in the number of buildings and residential stacked units at the rear of the site. The proposal is now for fi ve three-storey build-ings with a total of 24 units.

City planning staff, in its report to the planning and en-vironment committee, concludes that the proposed devel-opment is consistent with the Provincial Police Statement guidelines regarding development. Staff states that the “pro-posal promotes an effi cient, cost effective pattern of develop-ment, stimulates economic growth and takes full advantage

of existing infrastructure.” The staff report also states that the proposed development promotes a liveable community by expanding the range of choice in housing types offered in Stittsville.

“The proposed development achieves a more intense, yet human-scaled built form in this part of Stittsville and will contribute to supporting the public transit system and com-munity services, as well as providing services to the sur-rounding community,” the report states in arguing that the proposal meets the intent of the Traditional MainStreet des-ignation in the city’s Offi cial Plan.

The staff report also argues that the proposed development meets the Offi cial Plan’s criteria for compatibility of new development with existing communities in terms of traffi c, vehicular access, parking requirements, building height and massing, the pattern of the surrounding community, outdoor amenity areas, loading areas, service areas and outdoor stor-age, lighting, noise, air quality and sunlight and supporting neighbourhood services.

With regard to building height, the report states that the proposed fi ve storey height is consistent with building heights prescribed in the offi cial Plan for infi ll development within established low-rise residential communities. It notes that the design of the building includes a stepping back of the façade, with the upper two fl oors of the building being recessed. It also notes that the fi fth fl oor is tucked into the roofl ine so that the perceived height of the building is mini-mized.

The staff report also notes that the proposed development achieves the intent of the Stittsville Main Street Design Guidelines through the use of warm and neutral colours, gabled roofs, vertical proportions and the inclusion of resi-dential uses above commercial ones for the building facing Stittsville Main Street. This fi ve-storey building will feature a combination of stone, brick and stucco.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri has urged that the proposal be rejected given the opposition from the Stittsville Village Association and the public to the 15 metre height being sought for the fi ve-storey building. He points out that city council approved the current zoning for the site, which allows only an 11 metre height, in June, 2008, with the support of the planning staff.

He notes that when a developer comes forward as in this case with a development proposal for Stittsville Main Street that asks for an increased height, he fi nds it unacceptable that planning staff considers it alright to increase the height limitation.

“If this is such good planning, why was there no objection to this when the zoning bylaw was passed in 2008?, he asks in his written comments regarding this project and the rezon-ing required.

The city’s staff report notes that if the rezoning matter is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, it is anticipated that a three day hearing would result. The report notes as well that if the rezoning is refused by city council and then goes to the OMB, the city will have to hire an external plan-ning consultant to defend its position. This would cost an estimated $30,000, the report states.

Stittsville Village Association president Metin Akgun has said in the past that the proposed fi ve storey height being required for this development is a major issue for the SVA as the SVA feels that it would be precedent setting for Stitts-ville Main Street.

The SVA feels that the city’s Offi cial Plan treats Stittsville Main Street differently from other designated main streets in the city, allowing only 11 metre high buildings rather than the 15 metre high buildings allowed along other designated main streets.

The SVA feels that the 15 metre (fi ve storey) height will change the character of Stittsville Main Street.

It’s a long story about a fifth storey
