Flex signs installed in Osgoode ward Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Traffic control and speeding are together some of the biggest issues residents of Osgoode ward complain about, according to Coun. George Darouze. In response, Darouze said he’s been working hard to help quell some of these issues by implementing new measures to calm traffic in communities such as Osgoode, Greely and

Metcalfe. Recently, his office oversaw the installation of flex signs in the Greely and Metcalfe region. These signs are part of a system of traffic calming measures meant to help keep pedestrians, cyclists – and motorists themselves – safe. “There are always people complaining about speed in our community,” Darouze said.

Traffic calming has been a long-term project Continued from the front

“I have been working for a long time on solutions.” Darouze has been working with the Osgoode Community Association and the Metcalfe Community Association to develop a strategy for calming traffic on major roads. Speed bumps, he said, were not an option because they are not permitted on artery roads. However, speed boards, painted road markers and flex signs are. Darouze held a town hall meeting with the police and community involvement in September that showed support for the use of flex signs in the area. Flex signs have been installed on artery roads in Metcalfe, including Parkway Road. These are tall, narrow signs installed along the centre line. The signs rest on a spring loaded base and can be driven over safely by wider vehicles such as tractors, or by inat-

tentive drivers without risk. Their purpose is to narrow the perceived lane width to slow drivers in areas shown to be popular with speeders. Using his annual allowance of $40,000 from the City of Ottawa for traffic calming within his ward, Darouze has been using speed boards to gather data about speeding. The speed boards display the speed of a vehicle as it passes by, but also records the data for analysis purposes. Upon reviewing the data Darouze found that only 12 per cent of drivers, on average, obeyed the posted limit. “The result was devastating,” he said. “We need to do something to protect our youth and our seniors in those areas.” The flex signs are part of a pilot program to reduce speeds in designated areas of the ward. The program also includes painted speed limits on roadways and larger signs along

Residents of Osgoode ward may have noticed the installation of flex signs along the centre lanes of some major roads, like this one outside of Greely Elementary School on Parkway Road. These signs are part of several traffic calming measures in place to reduce speeding. the shoulder. While the flex signs have received mixed reviews so far, Darouze said he stands by his decision to use them. “I’d rather hit one of those (flex signs) than hit a little kid,” he said. “We need to improve, to make our roads safer

for kids in our community.” Darouze said he’ll continue to update residents with data from the program as it continues on his website (www. georgedarouze.ca). He also said he welcomes feedback both positive and negative.

Hear ye, hear ye! The ninth annual Medieval Festival is returning to Osgoode between July 8 and 10. The community will be steeped in history that weekend as kings, queens, knights and jesters descend upon the Market Mall for three days of medieval entertainment. Connie Bazil, co-chair of the festival, said it’s an event full of fun for the whole family. “It’s an incredible weekend,” she said. “There always something interesting going on.” The Osgoode Medieval Festival started nine years ago as a quirky way to draw people into the heart of the community. Since then, it has grown into one of the area’s most anticipated annual events and draws hundreds of residents and tourists alike. During the festival, the field beside the Market Mall is transformed into a kingdom filled with vendors, exhibits and live demonstrations of the medieval way of life. In addition to live music and entertainment, the festival also features more than 25 vendors at their Medieval Market. Princesses and knights in training can enjoy the best of the best as they explore the children’s castle to discover the queen’s bedroom, the dungeon and a costume room filled with medieval fashions just waiting to be tried on. Of course, the biggest draw of the Medieval Festival is the live demonstrations of sword fighting

Shields and swords are just some of the historical artefacts featured at the Osgoode Medieval Festival, running this year from July 8 to 10 at the Market Mall. The weekend is packed with old-time fun, including demonstrations of real life jousting and sword fighting. and jousting. Working with the Armoured Company of the Sword, a Metcalfe group of sword fighters dedicated to the study and practise of historical swordsmanship, the Osgoode Medieval Festival features regular demonstrations of live daring sword fights. Bazil said the company brings real excitement to their demos as the swords they are using are real – no decoys there – and no fight is practised or staged. The Knights of Valour bring an equal measure of historical accuracy to their jousting demonstrations. Using no scripts, no choreography and no air bags, according to their website, the group practises the historical art of jousting the way it

MURDER MYSTERY

For even more medieval fun, adults can participate in a Medieval Murder Mystery dinner on either Friday or Saturday night. Called “It Was a Dark and Stormy Knight”, the dinner is both a meal and a mystery. Guests will join performers in piecing together clues to discover who murdered the valiant knight. This is an adults-only event, Bazil said, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. at the Osgoode Community Centre. This year’s dinner features savoury pie (lamb, chicken, beef and vegetarian options available), a variety of salads, breads, cheeses and dessert. Tickets are $45 per person and can be purchased in advance at the Osgoode Medieval Festival website. More information about the festival, including a full schedule of events, can be found at the festival’s website at www.osgoodemedievalfestival.com.

Big ride, big dream Notice of Study Completion Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements Environmental Assessment The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city: the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which puts the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011) as a Schedule B project. The final deliverable for the EA portion of the project is an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This document has been completed and by this notice is being placed in the public record for review over a 30-day period. The Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements report is available for review at the following location:

The use of contracted medical professionals should be a “minor expense” Scrimgeour said, and should be covered under Para Transpo’s existing budget.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt is going to have a busy summer. He has started to bring together all of the various components he would like to see for the three studies he has planned to carry out for his rural ward. Moffatt has said he wanted to set up three different working groups groups from his communities to look at specific issues troubling residents. Agriculture in the city’s rural areas is one group, small business in rural Ottawa is another and a third is a study of the impact of trucks using the Vimy Memorial Bridge. All three working groups are in their infancy with exception of the agricultural working group. The working groups will include members of Council who share a rural area as well as affected residents and interested industry leaders.

Moffatt held the first information meeting on June 29 about the agricultural working group. The meeting is the first of many he plans to hold as he brings together the political and agricultural leaders from all of the rural communities across the city. It is early days yet but Moffatt’s staff say there will eventually be a special website dedicated to the agricultural working group. The rural small business group is in the process of

being set up. City staff are aiming for the fall to create the small business working groups. Meanwhile the working group looking at truck traffic over and around the Vimy Memorial Bridge is waiting for interested parties to organize themselves. The goal of the truck working group is to find ways to improve the existing truck routes’ effectiveness and look at ways to reduce the impact of the truck traffic on Manotick’s Bridge Street.

The study will also look at ideas such as restricting the hours when heavy trucks are permitted to operate on Bridge Street and restricting heavy trucks to the height, width, length, and weight limits set out in the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. The city could be asked to consider restricting approvals for oversized truck permits to use Bridge Street. For information about the working groups call 613-5802424 or email rideaugoulbourn@ottawa.ca.

Drivers keep feeling the squeeze

re drivers the new smokers over at city hall? For years now the City of Ottawa, like cities across North America, has brought in all types of rules and regulations that, in essence, say to smokers you are not welcome here. And it is now starting to feel as though drivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those nasty people who reject being socially engineered into taking a bicycle everywhere they go and have no interest in jumping on public transit no matter how many bells and whistles the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future light rail system will have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are becoming the new smokers in this city. A new city bylaw is expected to reduce the number of parking spots required for future developments in the inner urban core. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee approved changes to the minimum-parking bylaw on June 28. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time the city has altered the bylaw since the 1960s. Under the new rules, which go to council July 13, developments within a 400- to 800-metre walk from light rail stations would not have

to provide parking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except apartment buildings that have more than 12 units. The availability of parking downtown will thus get even scarcer in the future. But apparently, over at city hall, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter since in the utopian view of some, we will all be happily going about our business on light rail or cycling our way through the urban jungle. This goes along with the new sensors that the police department have to nab those horrible drivers who have the misfortune of driving within a metre of a cyclist on city streets. Never mind that some streets in the core are so narrow that to keep a metre buffer zone from a cyclist means to not drive at all on those streets. Yes, the war on the car as a means of transportation in Ottawa continues to roll on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest, with the way things are going, that the city just ban cars completely from the roads of Ottawa except for the suburbs. But we fear that to make such a suggestion, even with tongue firmly in cheek, the social engineers over at city hall will take the suggestion seriously, and run, or in this case, pedal with it.Â

There has to be a better way to travel in the city

eople do manage to get downtown in Ottawa, in their cars. And some of them even manage to get out of downtown Ottawa. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle that happens every day. In the construction zone, that is the core of our city, there are faint signs that it might some day be over. After tunnels are completed and tracks are laid and the Senate is safely moved into its new home and the National Arts Centre has finished dolling itself up and barring any massive new holes opening in the ground or visits from the President of the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then, and only then, can we return to normalcy, if anyone can remember what that looked like. And that will be just in time for them to begin widening the Queensway again. Whoopee.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

There is a plan for adding more lanes, going from three to four in a western stretch where it had previously narrowed from four to three, causing what the provincial government perceives as anguish to drivers. Hating driver anguish, the government has decided to spend millions to widen the highway, a project that will last years and create havoc while it happens. People may flee to downtown to escape it. The number of millions has not been announced, but a widening project in the east, begun in 2013

and completed only recently, cost $226 million. So this one could cost at least that. As you would expect, a considerable debate has arisen over this plan. It seems, critics say, to go completely against the prevailing mood about roads and transit. For some years the conventional wisdom has been that public transit should take priority over road construction, that new roads only attract more drivers, thus causing increases in pollution, global warming etc. There has even been wide acceptance of a theory that adding lanes creates more problems than it solves, that the temporary ease of driving brings more drivers onto the roads, eventually causing the new lanes to be as clogged as the old ones. If that happens, there goes $226 million down the drain.

The Ontario minister of energy, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Bob Chiarelli, disputes that theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś We need to move beyond the over-simplified theory that every highway widening is a senseless idea,â&#x20AC;? he wrote in an opinion piece in an Ottawa daily newspaper. As the region has expanded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so has the need for increased economic infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? he added. Sure. But the widening project does seem to indicate a lack of confidence in the effectiveness of light rail in easing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic problems. And then there is the question of what happens while the construction is on. It was chaos in the east. An on-ramp will be eliminated and the effects of that on local traffic worry residents. So is it really worth it? All that money, all those construction headaches. It is a clichĂŠ to say that fresh thinking is called for, but it is. A really inexpensive alternative would putting up some signs five EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin KPF NPSJO!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER: ,FMMZ ,FOU LLFOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN

kilometres in advance of the current narrowing, warning of a lane ending. That could be coupled with a course teaching drivers how to deal with lane changes and an advertising campaign urging people to take public transit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps even with lower fares. That would cost a lot less than $200 million.

Greely Elementary School has created a welcoming space for butterflies by planting a 600 square foot garden with plants like bee balm, butterfly weed and purple coneflower.

Butterflies welcome at Greely Elementary School New garden space features $1,500 of plants Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Local butterflies now have a new place to call home. On Thursday, June 30, Greely Elementary School officially opened their new, 600 square foot butterfly garden – a quiet space full of colourful plants where students and butterflies alike can rest and relax. Thanks to a grant of $4,500 from TD Bank’s Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF), the school has been able to create a beautified space right on their grounds. TD FEF is a national charity that has provided more than $76 million to over 24,000 environmental projects and programs across Canada since 1990. Each of the 180 students at Greely Elementary had a hand in creating the butterfly garden, from brainstorming, designing, planning and constructing the space.

“This was truly a schoolwide effort,” said Principal Alexandra Vasilas. The local community, too, was very involved in the process. Greely Sand & Gravel donated soil and mulch for the garden, while the Hutt family provided machinery for digging the plot. Benches for the space were donated by Robert Fowler and Alyssa Hartvich, and a butterfly home was donated by Audrey Halsall. “Looking outside our own walls and engaging the community is something we strive to do,” Vasilas said. Due to the hard work of students, staff and community members, the garden is now ready for enjoyment. More than $1,500 worth of butterfly-friendly plants – such as bee balm, butterfly weed and purple coneflower – have been hand planted by the school’s students. Two butterflies were spotted within days of completing the planting, Vasilas said. LEARNING LESSONS

– Vasilas said the garden will be incorporated into lessons for all Greely students as they learn about the environment and other subjects. In fact, Greely Elementary has already been incorporating butterflies into their curriculum for years. Every spring, the school’s kindergarteners hatch Monarch butterflies and later release them. Vasilas said the group watches the insects transform from caterpillars to butterflies, learning about the threatened species as they go. Next year, the kindergarteners will be able to release their young butterflies into the school’s own garden. In addition to providing inspiration for lessons, Vasilas said the students will learn other skills using the garden. A rotation is yet to be worked out, but each class will be responsible for weeding, watering and caring for the garden. “I think this will enhance the sense of pride students feel for their school, and the feeling of collaboration between students and their peers and students and their community,” Vasilas said.

Three Amigos sign off on clean power target during leaders’ summit in Ottawa Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Within an hour of U.S. President Barack Obama`s arrival in Ottawa on Wednesday, the day`s first announcement was released – a statement on climate, clean energy and the environment. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Obama met June 29 at the National Gallery. The Three Amigos have set a goal to achieve 50-percent clean power generation for North America by 2025, a level that Canada already achieves but Mexico and the U.S. do not. As a result, it is a move that is expected to boost Canada`s hydro power exports.

The three nations also plan to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 40 to 45 per cent by 2025. By the same year, the leaders have committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Building on the environmental aspects of the three nation summit, the leaders committed to accelerating deployment of clean vehicles within government fleets, and encouraging investment in North American refuelling corridors for clean vehicles.

tive and clean North American automotive sector.” The joint statement also commits to conservation of the Monarch butterfly and its habitat, which stretches across parts of all three countries. The new steps come on the heels of additional bilateral agreements jointly announced by Trudeau and Peña Nieto on June 28. The two leaders announced that Canada is scrapping its visa requirements for Mexican visitors to this country as of Dec. 1. As well, Mexico will allow Canadian beef and beef products to enter that southern nation beginning in October. The prime minister and Mexico's president also announced their intention to renew bilateral cooperation on educational initiatives, including boosting opportunities for Canadian and Mexican postsecondary students to take part in educational and training exchanges, among other memorandums of understanding that are in the works. OBAMA’S ARRIVAL Obama arrived amid a state of heightened security at Ottawa International Airport the morning of June 29, making his last official visit to Canada before his second term as president ends in January. Even before Air Force One entered Ottawa’s airspace, a small aircraft and an RCMP helicopter circled overhead,

David Johnston at Ottawa’s airport after the president arrived for the Three Amigos summit of North American leaders on June 29. while throngs of police officers wielded automatic rifles and high-powered binoculars. First among several dignitaries to arrive and line up along a red carpet on the airport apron was Canada’s Gov. Gen. David Johnston. He was joined by Bruce Heyman, U.S. ambassador to Canada, Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion, Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and Mayor Jim Watson. After the doors to Air Force One opened, Obama stepped out onto a flight of stairs, gave a brief wave and was greeted by Johnston on the red carpet. He was also greeted by the

sight of members of the Canadian Armed Forces Ceremonial Guard, decked out in smart red tunics and bearskin hats, referred to as a busby. After just a few minutes, Obama stepped into his armoured limousine, known as the Beast. There were actually two Beasts brought in for his official visit, and both were part of a massive convoy of dozens of black vehicles that escorted Obama to Parliament Hill and the National Gallery in downtown Ottawa for a day of meetings, special events and photo opportunities with media and dignitaries.

New O-YA program takes stress out of morning madness Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Mornings are tough. You have to wake, shower, dress, brush your teeth, eat breakfast and gather your things all before you leave the house at the crack of dawn. Throw into the mix a couple of kids who also need to do all of those things and the morning rush can quickly turn into the most stressful part of the day. Starting in September, the Osgoode Youth Association (O-YA) will be able to help lighten the load with their new Before School Breakfast Club. “Parents are busy, we get that,” said Carley Scharf, program co-ordinator. “We wanted to create a program that could help them and the kids have an easier start to the day.” Running for the entirety of the 2016/2017 school year, O-YA’s morning program is available for kids between Grades 2 and 6. Parents can drop off their kids

anytime between 6:30 and 9 a.m. and rest assured their kids will be ready for school on time. “Everyone’s schedule is different. Some parents have long drives to work and would need an earlier drop off time. Other parents don’t need to leave until 8 or 8:30 (a.m.). We’re flexible,” Scharf said. The Before School Breakfast Club will be an all-stop shop for all things morning. “They (the kids) can literally be dropped off right out of bed,” Scharf said. “We’ll take care of it from there.” Children in the program can be dropped off at any stage of their morning routine. O-YA is prepared to have the children change into their school clothes from their pyjamas or brush their teeth if necessary – parents only need to make sure their child has all of the required supplies. PJs or no PJs, children in O-YA’s program will enjoy a more relaxed schedule of programming that those in

the after school program. There will be no scheduled, energetic activities. Instead, kids will have ample time to play board games, read, craft or watch cartoons before eating a healthy breakfast and getting ready for the day. O-YA has received four years of sustainable funding from the City of Ottawa for their program, which ensures they’ll be able to provide healthy, complete breakfasts for each child. Scharf said the breakfast menu is fluid right now, open for adaptations as program co-ordinators learn which foods the kids prefer. Ideas include fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits and fresh baked goods like muffins. From there, O-YA will send the kids off to school. Parents are responsible for making bussing arrangements, but Scharf said there will be supervision available for children walking to Osgoode Public School. The cost of enrolment to the Before School Break-

Parents can find registration forms and more information in advance online at the O-YA website

(www.o-ya.ca). With the new program, Scharf said O-YA is hoping to make mornings less hectic for children and parents. “Any stress we can

Turmoil was a symptom of special visitor’s arrival

he house was in a turmoil again. The whole place was upside down. Mother was in a bad humour, ordering us around, Emerson said like a drill sergeant! Even Father, who hardly ever got flustered, was all keyed up. All because Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie of the hand-me-down boxes from Regina, was coming for her annual visit. She always came in the hottest month of the year, to make sure the old homestead was still standing. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. Mother was out to prove her wrong! Of course, Audrey and I had to give up our bed and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen. That meant the bedroom,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories which was really the large upstairs hall, had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life. Audrey had to stand on a chair, and using the broom, sweep the ceiling, which was only whitewashed over tar paper. This was to make sure no flakes would fall on Aunt Lizzie’s face when she was in bed, as they often did for Audrey and me. The feather mattresses, tickings and pillows had been thrown over the back fence and pounded with the broom within an inch of their lives. Audrey said we wouldn’t

be going to that much trouble if the Queen of England was coming! The kitchen, which was always spotless to begin with, was as clean as a whistle, and Mother, just to prove she knew a little more about being a farm wife than she was given credit for, had the bake table loaded down with sticky buns, homemade bread, freshly made pickles, raspberry preserves, and a basket full of newly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. Aunt Lizzie rarely gave us notice of when she was coming, and more than

once, we would get a call from the station in Renfrew that she had arrived. At least this time, a letter had arrived a week before telling us when she would be coming. Of course, we five children would love to go into Renfrew to meet the train, but that would mean taking the flat bottomed wagon with the one seat, pulled by the team of horses. Aunt Lizzie wouldn’t like being paraded through her hometown on a flat bottomed wagon, hauled by a team of work horses. So Father and Mother would take the two-seater buggy. We kids would stay at home. We were in our next-to-Sunday best clothes too. The five of us had our noses pressed to the kitchen window when we saw the buggy coming down the lane, and there sat Aunt

little cardboard dolls. I was sure even bad Marguirite had never laid eyes on anything so exciting! I didn’t care about all the work we had to go to, to get ready for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. I didn’t care that she wasn’t our favourite visitor to come to the farm at Northcote. I was too young to think beyond the wonderful gifts she would bring all the way from Regina. Imagine! Little paper dolls and a wardrobe of paper clothes to keep me entertained for hours ahead! That Aunt Lizzie sure knew how to bring joy to a young girl’s heart!

Lizzie, white dress, huge red leghorn hat and gloves to her elbow. When she pressed me to her chest, I could smell Lily of the Valley perfume. Her suitcases were brought in and taken right upstairs, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the big leather satchel she carried, because inside I knew would be gifts for all of us. My present was the last to come out of the bag. I had never seen anything like it. It was a book, about the size of a scrap book, and the cover was made of push-out paper dolls, and inside were the clothes they could wear, all made of paper, and she had even brought me a little pair of snub nosed scissors. I got right to it at the kitchen table. Each dress, when cut out, had little tabs beyond the body, and they, when folded over, were what held the paper clothes on the

OPINION

Connected to your community

For the love of farming

t was 32 degrees today. The Farmer went out “at the crack of sparrow fart” as my dear father used to say, before it got too hot, to sow a field. I kept thinking it was a bit warm to be expecting seed to grow. And a bit dry. We have been in a semidrought condition all spring. But what do I know? Do not question the Farmer. I have learned, even if you do point out the obvious, he needs to decide for himself. He smiled, gave me a kiss on the cheek and headed out into the dusty back forty. A few hours later he was back to fill up his coffee. The man doesn’t eat before noon but at least he hydrates. He also took a jug of lemonade and a bottle of water. Back out into the heat. What was I doing

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife while he was toiling in the summer sun? I ventured out to refill the dog’s water. I checked on my turkeys. I pulled a few weeds in the vegetable garden, took note of the plants that will need to be replaced due to the drought, and then I decided it was much more comfortable in the farmhouse. I spent the morning cleaning floors and doing laundry. The first muggy heat of the day took over the sunny side of the house and tried to push its way inside. I pulled the blinds

and closed the windows on the east side. The smell of bacon filled the kitchen, for I planned to tempt the Farmer with a BLT at lunch. I heard the ATV pull up at the gate, then the heavy footfall up the steps to the back deck. The patio door slid open and I saw a dirty arm reach in to grab a towel off the hook. Next I heard a splash, and a yelp. Seventy-six degree water is a bit of a shock when your skin is scorched. Good thing he has a strong heart. And good thing no one can see

into our backyard. Farmers rarely take the time to don a swimsuit. I carried a pitcher of Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade) to the pool, handed it to him and watched as he drank the whole thing. “Are you hungry?” “Yep.” He’s a man of few words when he’s been using every ounce of energy to get a job done in extreme temperatures. I pointed out that he had a completely black face except for the eyes, and he dunked his head and gave it a scrub a few times. Probably at least once a season I find myself wondering, whatever would possess someone to do that? Working a field in the sweltering, blistering heat of summer. Plowing a path to the barn in the life-sucking, aching cold wind of a

winter blizzard. Well, at this point, he’s committed. He has lives depending on him gaining access to the barn no matter how much snow has fallen. And this season, we have realized our cattle herd is outgrowing the pastures. We needed to turn and re-plant a couple fields so they would be happy with their hay again come winter. That will help them make good milk and grow healthy babies in the spring. But what possesses a city boy to get himself into this position where animal lives depend on him and he will be forced to get off the cozy couch by the fire or out of the cool shade poolside to go and do some muscleripping, sweaty farm work? For my husband, it was a summer spent on his uncle’s farm near Winchester. I believe it was a dairy farm. He got bitten by that

bug that makes you see the weather, the seasons, and life a different way. The farming bug. Some people are born into the farming life; others come across it by accident. We need more of the latter because we are swiftly running out of the former. Farm families, like all families, just aren’t having as many kids as they used to. Not every kid raised on a farm wants to farm. So this lessens the chances of the family farm tradition continuing to the next generation. As I set up my stall at the Kemptville Farmers’ Market it’s awfully nice to see so many first-generation farmers embracing the lifestyle, accepting the hard work and hardship, and sowing the seed. theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com
