NAVAN CENOTAPH RE-DEDICATED IN THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
Navan, October 17, 2010: With intense pride and significant community support, the restored veterans’ memorial
was unveiled today to pay tribute to Navan-area residents who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their
country.The unveiling took place with hundreds of veterans, community leaders, and serving armed forces
personnel looking on as organizers praised the sacrifices made in defending freedom. The unveiling was carried
out by Eileen Vaillancourt and Sqn. Ldr. Eric Smith DFC CD (Ret’d). In 1987 Mrs. Vaillancourt’s mother, Annie
McFadden, unveiled the original Cenotaph. “Today is an important milestone for our community and our local
fallen heroes – we now have a beautiful memorial, built through local contributions, that will stand forever as a
tribute to those who served our country in the past, those who continue to serve and in particular those who have
made the supreme sacrifice so that we could live in peace,” stated Ross Bradley, chair of the Cenotaph
Restoration Project. In 1914 the town of Navan and its surrounding area had a population of approximately 300
people, 15 of whom made the ultimate sacrifice in WW1. They are remembered, along with all others from the
Navan area who have died defending their country."It is a testament to the strength of our local community that
this beautiful memorial could be built with the support of local residents, businesses like BFI Canada, Annis
O'Sullivan Vollebekk Ltd., Lafarge, Vars Concrete, community organizations like Friends of the Mer Bleue, Navan
Lions Club, Streetdance 2010, the City of Ottawa, Veterans Affairs Canada and the Cumberland Township
Agricultural Society which has made land available for this project," added Bradley.
The Navan Community Association Restoration Committee spearheaded this project in order to replace the
original Cenotaph that needed updating and was located in an area no longer suitable for such an important
memorial.
VANDALISM WITHIN THE VILLAGE CONTINUES
In last month's Nugget, the NCA Public Safety Committee published an article expressing our concerns over
the recent rash of vandalism, graffiti and thefts within the village. Unfortunately, it appears the incidents are
continuing. Just recently, a company truck was destroyed and ransacked while parked at Navan Automotive
overnight, shrubs were stolen from a resident's property and pumpkins have been smashed around
several homes.
This is a reminder that we, as responsible parents and community members, need to ensure that we supervise
our children's activities, especially during the late hours of the night. Parents should always be aware of their
children's whereabouts and should not be afraid to conduct random checks of their bags, bedrooms and other
personal belongings. Let's not take the: "my son/daughter would never do this" attitude; the culprit(s) of these
crimes are most likely living in the village and we need to identify them before additional costly incidents
occur.
Reminder: any victim of vandalism, graffiti or theft, no matter how minor in nature, should report the incident to
the Ottawa Police by telephone at (613) 236-1222 ext.7300. It is important to report all crime, as police
resources are deployed in accordance to where crime occurs and is reported.

Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Neighbourhood Toolkit
Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Neighbourhood Toolkit
is an online resource that provides ideas,
information and resources to help Ottawa
residents make their neighbourhoods better
places to live.
The toolkit encourages residents to get involved in
their neighbourhoods and to be accountable and
proactive about community safety. Individuals,
community associations, Neighbourhood Watch
volunteers and many others will find helpful ideas
and practical information about building safer
neighbourhoods from the ground up.
The toolkit also contains information about
specific problems and crimes and how to get help
from municipal and community resources in
Ottawa. You can learn more about the toolkit and

Navan Fall Fest
The second Fall Fest was a big hit again this year.
What a wonderful crowd of residents attended the
event! A big thank you goes to Juanita Vetter and
the Navan Women’s Institute for organizing this
special day. Navan @ 150 years in 2011 was
launched with presentations to the Logo and Essay
contest winners. The new park area was dedicated
by Emmanuelle Grandmaître, with children letting
balloons fly up in the air. Rob Jellett attended and
was thanked for his efforts in helping to realise this
reconstruction.
In the blue building there were a number of
activities going on. Puddles, the sweet little lamb,
was in attendance with its owners, Shirley and Chris
Browski. The Knotty Knitters were there. The Home
Decorating contest was judged by those attending
the Fest and my mannequins finally won a prize!!
The scent of the Chilli pots, wafting through the blue
building, enticed many to try out the various
recipes.

There was a young lady giving out I Love Navan
stickers. The Navan Community Association was
selling memberships. We were entertained by a
fellow who sang some old country songs. Face
painting was a busy corner. The games were well
run and lots of fun for all. Building Scarecrows was
the most popular activity ! Thanks goes out to
Colleen Fleming, our Navan Fair Youth
Ambassador, and her Dad, Eric, for their help and
encouragement to all the young ones who jumped
eagerly into the hay. What a big hit!! The Navan
Lions Club gave out popcorn and bed rides while
the Navan Community Association provided free
hot dogs and pop for everyone. In the evening, to
top off a busy sunny day, we had a Barn Dance put
on by the Cumberland Township Agricultural
Society . What a day this was!!

Snow Go Program and Snow Go Assist Program
An Ottawa winter averages 235 cm of snowfall and
in recent years, an increasing amount of rain and
freezing rain. Clearing snow from private driveways
and walkways is difficult but essential to ensuring
mobility in the winter months. Many seniors and
people with disabilities are unable to clear snow
from their own private driveways or walkways and
must rely on friends, family or private contractors.
The City of Ottawa’s Snow Go Program provides a
matching service for seniors and people with
disabilities looking to hire an individual or contractor
to clear snow from private driveways and
walkways. Eligible low-income seniors and people
with disabilities may also apply to receive financial
assistance to pay for a portion of their snow
removal costs through the Snow Go Assist Program.

CENOTAPH PROJECT UPDATE
Sunday, October 17, 2010 should go down in Navan
as one of the most historically significant days we
have ever had as a community. I, Ross Bradley,
have been honoured to be the chairperson of a
committee made up of members who were
completely dedicated to seeing the Cenotaph
Restoration and Relocation project succeed and
produce a beautiful Navan War Memorial.
Just one week after Thanksgiving, this is what I was
thankful for:
1. An excellent afternoon weather wise (even
though it was a bit cool and windy).
2. An impressive crowd of people who attended
(400-500), many of whom where veterans and
current military, and many who were residents
from all over our Cumberland Ward and
beyond.
3. Some very willing and able young men
(Cumberland Grads Junior A hockey team) who
got chairs and stage in place all before 9:30
am.
4. The Ottawa Firefighters Band (30 strong) and 632
Orleans Legion Colour Party who performed so
well and added so much.
5. The Navan Volunteer Firefighters who aided
parking of the handicapped and seating.
6. The uniqueness of the very way the actual
unveiling took place and the spectacular
photographs taken which will preserve this
moment forever.
7. The excellent flow of the whole ceremony and
the professionalism in how it was conducted.
And now a request to our entire community. We
have a beautiful War Memorial in our midst. Let us
all do our utmost to keep it that way. If you see any
actions taking place at the War Memorial which
you believe to be disrespectful, please make it
known to those who are able to correct the
problem.
Please come to the Remembrance Day Services at
10:45 am, Thursday, November 11th.

HOME TIP OF THE MONTH
Fall Gardening Tips
 Bring in your houseplants that have summered
outdoors. If the pots are sitting on the ground, give
the pots a twist to loosen. Check them carefully
before bringing back inside. A good gentle
spraying with the garden hose will help dislodge
pests and clean the plant before you return it to its
indoor home.
 If you want your Christmas cactus to bloom on
time, start in the fall. About three months from the
desired bloom time, stop feeding, reduce or stop
watering, give the plant complete darkness from
sundown to sunrise, and then sunlight all day.
When buds have formed, resume a regular water
and food schedule and you will have beautiful
flowers in December.
 Add to your compost. Leaves and other lawn and
garden cleanup material are perfect for
composting. Turn your compost material at least
once a week with a garden fork to speed its
decay. Chopping and shredding materials to
make them smaller before adding to the pile
helps compost break down faster.
 Get your tools, especially your mower, ready for
the off-season with a little simple maintenance.
 Drain the water from garden hoses at the end of
the season. Coil them and store them in a spot
where they won’t freeze.

NAVAN’S VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTERS CORNER
Good news! After a brief hiatus, the Firefighter’s
Corner will once again be featured in the Nugget. It
has been a busy few months, so we will re-cap the
major events to bring you up to speed.
 Back in August during the Navan parade,
firefighters from station 71 collected over
$1300.00 in donations. Thank you everyone for
your kindness. This money went to the MD
association.
 On September 25th, Station 71 hosted the annual
banquet at the fairgrounds barn. It was a great
night filled with entertainment, good food, good
music, and lots of dancing! We would like to
thank the Navan Lions Club for their assistance
that evening, as well as the many individuals and
businesses who donated fabulous door prizes.
Congratulations goes out to Navan’s award
recipients of the evening; Dane Vartija (District FF
of the year), Peter Tadiello (Station 71 FF of the
year), Jeff Cotton (10 year service pin) and Bruce
Robillard (5 year service pin).
 More recently, we shared in the fun at the Navan
Fall Fest. It was a great community event and a
great time was had by all – especially the kids
who out-tugged the firefighters in the tug-of-war!
Needless to say, we will start training for next
year’s re-match soon. The festival also featured a
delicious chilly cook-off. It was so delicious that
we would like to encourage anybody to drop off
their late entries to a Monday training night at the
fire hall for judging…!
 Now that the cold weather is upon us, a friendly
reminder that it is that time of year again to;

NEW REVEREND IN TOWN
Well Sunday, October 17th was definitely a busy day in
Navan! Besides the unveiling and re-dedication of the
Cenotaph in a beautiful and moving ceremony, the
Anglican Parish of Bearbrook, Vars and Navan also
had its own celebration at St. Mary’s Church that
evening. The community gathered to induct and
formally welcome the Reverend Canon John WilkerBlakely as the Parish’s minister. While John has been
with the Parish for a while now, he was only technically
there as a “temporary” minister. But now it’s official –
he’s here to stay and we hope it will be for a very long
time. John brings many impressive talents to our
parish. He is funny, kind, caring, and extremely
knowledgeable. The parish considers him a real
blessing. John regularly visits the elderly and the sick,
reaches out to families in need, leads our youth in
interesting activities, and has been known to fly over
the community or take the odd tractor ride now and
then.
St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Navan along with Trinity
in Bearbrook and St. Andrew’s in Vars gladly
welcomes anyone and everyone to our church
services on Sunday. Feel free to drop in and give us a
try. We don’t bite (well not that hard) and we even
serve coffee and treats (for free) after the service. The

NAVAN FOR KRAFT HOCKEYVILLE 2011 – DO YOU HAVE
A HOCKEY STORY FOR US!
Let's Show our community spirit by including this in our
150 year Celebrations!
As you are aware, the Navan Memorial Centre is once
again entered in the Kraft Hockeyville 2011
competition. Four communities will win $25 000 while
the top one receives $100 000 in upgrades to their
facility and an NHL pre-season game will be played in
the arena in the fall of 2011 with a fun day of activities
for everyone to enjoy!
Organized hockey has been part of Navan’s precious
heritage for 97 years! Did you know that in 1913 in the
village of Navan, a hockey club was formed of 24
members? Each member paid ten dollars and this
money was used to establish an open air rink. If you
have played on any Navan hockey teams, against
them, or attended a game at the arena you definitely
have a hockey story to share!
We need the support of the community to make this
dream a reality so please help us by submitting a
hockey story and a photo to www.cbc.ca/hockeyville
and selecting Navan Memorial Centre from November
to January. All stories are accepted including the ones
just supporting our quest to the Kraft Hockeyville 2011
title.
If you don’t have access to a computer, you can drop
off your stories in the box located on the Hockeyville
billboard at the arena and we will submit them for you.
On your sheet please include your name, address,

to the Kraft Hockeyville title by inviting the community
to attend free public skating from 1 – 2:20pm then
cheering the Cumberland Junior “A” Grads against the
Ottawa Senators. A banner will be on hand for fans to
sign. You are welcomed to wear any hockey jersey.
Door prizes and lots of fun for the family!

Carleton Regional Snowmobile Club
New construction has already begun on the
abandoned rail line. The City of Ottawa, through the
infrastructure department, has commenced the
building of a multi-use trail connecting to the existing
Prescott-Russell multi-use trail. This trail will be for hiking
and cycling during the summer months and
snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and walking during
the winter months. Reduced speed limit signs will be
erected in the sensitive low-noise areas of the trail, so
be on the lookout and adhere to the instructions on the
signage.
Even though signs are currently posted indicating no
snowmobiles; Carleton Regional Snowmobile Club
have been assured by Rob Jellett's office and the City
of Ottawa; snowmobilers will continue to use this trail.
The signs have been posted temporarily till the project
is completed.
Please note any adjoining groomed trails off the main
railway line are landowner's private property and only
the snowmobile club has authorization to use.
OFSC trail permits December 1st or prior are $200, after
December 1st $250. Buy before you ride!
Tickets available for two demo Yamahas and an
enclosed trailer for $5.00 each.
Please call Wayne Dandy 613-835-2375 for tickets
or trail permits.
