Severe status drought continues despite rain Kelly McCarthy

kmccarthy@metroland.com

The record-breaking rains that fell on Ottawa over the last couple of weeks has been good for the watershed – but not enough to pull it out of a “severe” status drought.

The Rideau Valley

Conservation Authority upgraded the local watershed to a severe-status drought – the highest level on their scale – on Aug. 12. This is the first time the Rideau watershed has fallen into that category since 2012, and 2001 before that.

predict which wells will experience trouble during such a dry spell, but explained that shallow wells will typically run dry before deep wells drilled into bedrock.

For the time being, Larson said that most residents should be able to use water as they usually would on a daily basis (unless the well is already experiencing trouble) but that conservation should always be top priority. He reminded residents to only run the dishwasher with a full load, to be mindful to take quick showers and to reserve wash water for tasks like watering plants. Wasteful or unnecessary use, such as washing a vehicle, should wait.

If a well does begin to experience problems, Larson said to check the RVCA website for resources. Alternatively, residents can contact the Ministry of Environment and Climate

“The rain we’ve had was not proportionate to the drought,” said Patrick Larson, senior water resources technician with the RVCA. “It certainly helps, but it was not enough to reverse the trend.”

The RVCA classifies a “severe” drought as one that results from the watershed receiving less than 40 per cent of the average long-term precipitation for a period of time. Before the drenching of rain on Aug. 13, the Ottawa Airport had not seen a drop of precipitation since July 25.

RURAL RESIDENTS

The RVCA is cautioning rural residents and those on wells to conserve water where they can to prevent systems from running dry.

Larson said it is hard to

Change or check Ontario’s Low Water Response Program. The RVCA also asks that those experiencing issues contact the RVCA to help them better track and predict future difficulties for the area.

FALL FORECAST

Slow, steady rain is needed to replenish the watershed back to usual levels, but the forecast does not look promising.

Larson said that a longterm prediction of future conditions for the watershed is difficult to give since exact weather conditions are unknown. However, he did say that a general forecast of “hot and dry” weather is expected to continue into the fall.

The RVCA updates their watershed conditions statement regularly on their website at www.rvca.ca.

While the app is still quite new, Darouze said he and his team would be updating it frequently to customize it to what the users seem to want. Darouze said he would welcome comments, feedback and suggestions about the app at any time.

Interested users can download the app for free from the Apple AppStore or Android’s Google Play Store.

Staying in the know in Osgoode ward is now easier than ever.

There’s a new app on the market, developed by Coun. George Darouze and his team, that aims to act as a hub for important information relevant to the Osgoode community.

“They (the residents of Osgoode ward) want all the resources of the city in the tip of their hands,” said Darouze of the decision to create an app. “We are trying to deliver messages to every kind of platform to engage residents and start conversations.”

Darouze and his team began working on the app four or five months ago, and the completed product is now available for free for Apple and Android.

The app offers features such as a community events calendar, an interactive map of community resources and links to city hall resources that might be helpful for residents among other things. Darouze said it was a sort of one-stop shop for Osgoode information.

In addition to general community related information, the app also allows users to contact Darouze with the click of a button.

Users can email Darouze directly, access links to his Facebook and Twitter feeds or find directions to his two offices in Metcalfe and at City Hall.

Darouze’s weekly newsletter is also available via the app, as is speed board data used to support the councillor’s controversial decision to implement the use of flex signs at various points throughout the ward.

Other app features include the ability to report to police – making it easier for residents to call attention to speeding in their areas – and links to areas where water bills can be paid.

Darouze said that the app also includes a compilation of community contacts, such as community association presidents and other key players.

One of the features of the app that Darouze said he was most excited about was its ability to instantly notify residents of breaking news or important information.

Volunteers Invigorate THE RIDE By: Shelley McLean

A volunteer: Someone who contributes time, effort and talent to meet a need or further a mission, without getting paid.

Our mission atTHE RIDE is to revolutionize cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital and on September 11, hundreds of volunteers will not only ensure all of our cyclists have what they need but they will provide enthusiasm.

The OHRI (Ottawa Hospital Research Institute) Pit Crew is supportingTHE RIDE once again this year. Sheila De Marinis spearheads this volunteer group, which has been withTHE RIDE since the very beginning.

De Marinis says it’s become her team’s trademark over the past six years.

“It gives us the opportunity to connect with the riders if they simply ride by or if they should decide to stop. We have assisted many riders over the years with not only handing out drinks and food, but solving small problems.”

For De Marinis and the OHRI team, volunteering is invigorating. ”We have received comments over the years, that simply seeing a familiar face at a pit stop has given riders the strength to carry on and finishTHE RIDE. Even though they’re focused on cycling, all riders who stop take the time to thank us for doing what we are doing. Even many of the riders who choose to ride on by, lift an arm and give us a big wave.”

De Marinis says volunteering is a gratifying experience, “Even though you are on the sidelines, you are very much part of the team andTHE RIDE.” Make a difference in the fight against cancer by volunteering forTHE RIDE on September 11.

Flour and sugar bags took on many uses from rags to blouses

M

other was ready to tackle another batch of flour and sugar bags. If she was lucky, she got a sugar bag from Mr. Briscoe at the General Store in Northcote after he finished filling paper bags to put on the shelf in different pound sizes.

These bags were smaller than the ones she got at the gristmill, but the printed dye, for some reason, was much harder to get rid of.

Depending on what she made out of the flour bags, getting all the dye out wasn’t all that important. It wasn’t unusual to crawl into sheets, made from four opened flour bags, and to still have Red Roses Flour printed for all to see.

When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the gate at the back yard. You could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away. Once the bags had been washed at least three times, their seams opened, and all the strings and threads gotten rid of, came the job of trying to make the bags suitable for tea towels, underpants for my sister and me, and of course, pinny aprons, and more often than not, blouses.

But getting the dye out was a major job for Mother.

The bags would soak overnight in the copper washtub, and if Mother was lucky, the dyes would have greatly faded from the jar of javel water.

Using the tongs she used when getting the whites out of boiling water and into the washtub, she would pull each bag out and put it in the big granite dishpan.

This was when she would know if the whole exercise was a complete bust. Which more often than not, it was.

For the very best of the bags, the smaller sugar bags, for instance, they would be further treated to a wash of water and lemon juice, and then spread out on the grass to let the sun finish the job.

Sadly, that didn’t always work either, and there it would be, the printing, as large as life, maybe a little

MARY COOK Memories bit faded, but far from being completely removed.

I could see the look on Mother’s face when the javel water didn’t work. It was the same look she got when she tried to make over something that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, realizing the hopelessness of the whole exercise, because the suit material was too heavy, the silk dress too fancy, or, as in many cases, what she took out of the box was fit only for the rag bag.

After the kitchen was redded up, Audrey was sent out to bring in the few flour bags, and the one sugar bag which had been treated to the beating sun for the whole afternoon. Sadly, the printing was as bold as ever.

Mother sighed, got out the scissors, and got down to the job of figuring out what could be made. Some would become “not for company” tea towels. The few, which had faded the most, would

do for pillowslips and sheets.

She held up the one sugar bag, limp from so many washings and javel treatments, and decided it would have to do for a few dishcloths.

Then she called me over to the sewing machine, held up one of the flour bags, measured my body from the waist to my knees, and began cutting it up. There was no such thing as having a pattern to go by. I knew I was in for another pair of flour bag bloomers.

Thankfully, the bloomers I would wear to the Northcote School, had seen many, many washings, and the ones.

Mother was sewing that night would be ‘play bloomers’ until they had been what she called “well broken in”. Which meant, of course, the printing would be all but gone.

The rural wave and other country traditions

T

he Kemptville Farmer’s Market is more than just an opportunity for me to sell some books and unload a truckload of zucchini. It’s my social time. I get to visit with people I haven’t seen in years, catch up with close friends and meet loyal readers of this column for the first time. Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to stop by and say hi.

Sometimes I get really good suggestions for columns too. Last week a woman said she would like me to write about the disappearance of the rural wave. Many farmers still do it – it’s a hard habit to break.

When you’re on the road headed to market and you pass another pickup truck, you put two fingers to your temple and give a quick salute. Some of you just raise your hand slightly from the

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife steering wheel. The light effort is symbolic of the casual nature of the wave.

It may also be a sign that you are a bit low on energy, as you have been working hard on your farm.

Your laid-back nature is indicative of your lifestyle.

You take your time and live in the moment, aware of your surroundings. The weather determines your daily activities. You’re on farm time.

You probably drive a bit slower than city folk as well. What’s your hurry?

That kind of wave. That is how it is done. And it seems to be a lost art.

I grew up in the country outside the bustling metropolis of Kemptville when it boasted a population of about 4,000. There were no subdivisions to speak of, and we knew just about everyone in town and the surrounding hamlets.

We didn’t live on a farm but we certainly knew how to do the rural wave.

It was a comforting gesture. It said, “I know you. We are neighbours.

Go safely.” My father in his Chevy Silverado rarely missed the opportunity to wave as he passed someone he knew.

I still get to do the rural wave a few times a week, because I live near a single-lane bridge. If two vehicles are approaching this bridge from either side, you have to decide who will go first. Now let me tell you, it’s a sure sign that you aren’t from around here if you speed up to get across the bridge before the other approaching vehicle gets there. The neighbourly thing to do is to decrease your speed and pull over slightly. When you are close enough to the bridge you decide who is closest and let them go first, obviously. If you both reach the bridge at exactly the same time, it is common courtesy to let the other person go first. Pull over, signal to the ditch and that will indicate to the other person you are letting them go. Sometimes the courtesy volleys back and forth a few times

before the final concession is made.

“You go first.” (beckons the other driver with a flick of the wrist) “No, by all means, you go first.” (a come-along motion) “Oh all right then, thank you very much.” (driver proceeds across bridge, deploys the rural wave).

I have to admit I don’t recognize half the vehicles or drivers that I used to.

We have grown in population and I’ve lost track of who owns what farm. Other than at the single lane bridge crossing, there are only a handful of people I wave to when I pass them on the road.

These are family members, and lifelong friends like, for example, Jim Perry. Being a truck dealer he is always in a different set of wheels but I’m pretty recognizable in Dora the Explorer so he

usually recognizes me and waves first. As the descendant of a multi-generation farm family, the rural wave is a habit he likely won’t be breaking soon. And yet I’m sure when he recognizes and waves at some people, they probably give him a confused look.

“What? Is my headlight out? Should I pull over?” the uninitiated can be bewildered by the wave. It is probably best to reserve it for those who know its purpose.

But for those you recognize, wave away.

You might get a text a short time later, asking you what’s going on, but you can explain you are just being neighbourly. We’re from the country and we like it that way. dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisherbooks.com

Old-fashioned fun at Heritage Country Fair Sept. 2 and 3 Kelly McCarthy

kmccarthy@metroland.com

Dickinson Square will be transported back in time for the Heritage Country Fair Sept. 2 and 3.

The third annual event includes a barn dance on Friday, Sept. 2 and an allday fair on Saturday, Sept.

3. The idea is to transform the square and celebrate Manotick’s heritage.

“We’re trying to create an old fashioned feel in Dickinson Square,” said Maureen McPhee, co-ordinator of the fair and curator of Dickinson House with the Rideau Township Historical Society.

SWING YOUR PARTNER

On Friday, Sept. 2, the Heritage Country Fair Barn Dance will fill Watson’s Mill with dancers of all ages.

Starting at 7:30 p.m., the all-ages event features live Celtic music by the Ever Hopeful String Band.

Guests will have the opportunity to learn a variety of dances, including line dancing.

Tickets for the dance are $10 for adults – children under 12 can enter for free – which includes refreshments. Tickets can be purchased at Watson’s Mill, Dickinson House or by calling 613-692-6455.

OLD FASHIONED FAIR

On Saturday, Sept. 3 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Dickinson Square will be bustling with old-fashioned fair activities, and admission is free.

Starting right at 10 a.m. is the Family Dog Show, with categories for best trick, most obedient, largest dog, smallest dog, dog with the most spots, longest ears, oldest dog (over seven years old) and best in show.

“This is not for trained show dogs,” McPhee said of the Family Dog Show. “It’s for regular family dogs.”

McPhee said she encour-

ages children (or adults) to bring their dog to the lawn of Dickinson House for the show and perhaps win a prize in one of the eight categories. Entry forms are available at the Rideau Township Historical Society’s website (www.rideautownshiphistory.org).

Later, at 1 p.m., ITR Theatre will give a live performance of their new show

On Sept. 2 and 3, the Rideau Township Historical Society will host their third annual Heritage Country Fair in Dickinson Square.

Entertainment will include live music, carriage rides and a performance by ITR Theatre of their new show Monday’s Child.

Monday’s Child. McPhee said guests can bring lawn chairs or blankets to set up for the hour-long show.

Interested participants can also try their luck in a variety of contests happening that day, including a baking contest, an art contest and a judged flower and vegetable show. Information on these can also be found on the society’s website.

The fair will also feature live music between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., provided by acts like the Dixieland jazz band Thirsty Four Plus One and folk music artists Bruce and Audrey.

Guests can enjoy horsedrawn carriage rides between 1 and 3:30 p.m., an old-fashioned photo booth

Mauril Belanger legacy lives on

I

t wasn’t a surprise. Everyone knew it was coming.

And yet, when the news came that long-time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger had died on Aug. 16, it was like a sucker-punch to the gut of this city.

For Belanger (1955-2016) seemed to have touched the heart of almost everyone he ever came into contact with. The tributes that have been voiced in the wake of his passing, at the much too young age of 61 after a short battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), speak to that.

Yes, there have been tributes from the high and mighty.

Tributes have come from the prime minister to the governor general. They have come from political colleagues in the federal Liberal party, and from political foes from the Conservatives and the NDP. They have come from city officials, from the mayor to councillors from across the city, and not just from the east end of the city where Belanger made his political home.

All have been sincere, and all have praised Belanger’s tireless efforts over the years as a champion

of all Canadians’ rights, be they Franco-Ontarians such as himself, or his final effort to have our national anthem changed to better reflect the changing times so that it was gender all-inclusive.

But for all the high praise from the political world that has been showered upon Belanger since his death, it is likely that the tributes from just ordinary folks in the city are the ones that would have meant the most to him and mean the most to his family.

And in Belanger’s case, there is no doubt that those he served as their MP deeply feel the loss that comes with his death.

In the end, that is the true test of someone’s impact upon a community, so we will let these words speak for the many: “He was a true gentleman, in both civilian and political life. He took a moment at every event he was at to shake my hand and ask me about my life, my family, no matter how busy he was ... I’m not trying to canonize him, but he was a good man,” said Jeff Kaluski, president of the Beacon Hill Community Association.

And that is the ultimate tribute, that he indeed was a good man.

Weather a hot topic of conversation

R

emember when it was OK to talk about the weather?

Some of us still do talk about it, regardless.

The heat — like the cold, which we can look forward to as well — is a handy topic of conversation, in case we need one.

Sometimes we do, especially when other topics, such as political ones, become too depressing, or when we encounter someone with whom we have nothing in common.

And it has been hot, right? Hotter than … when? Well, that’s part of the conversation.

The older guys will surely remember a time when it was far hotter than this.

People were frying eggs on the sidewalk, the milk truck horses were fainting, the corn was as high as a dachshund’s eye — that kind

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town of thing.

And dry? What about the lawn and the petunias? Even artificial turf is parched, they say.

The other night people were sitting outside having a dinner party, listening to the splashes from the swimming pool next door, and hoping for a thunder storm.

That’s unnatural.

There can be a nifty conversation about coping strategies.

Drinking hot tea, for example, which some people swear by. Running through the sprinkler.

But then someone might scold you for wasting water.

People who have air conditioning will moan about how much it’s costing them in hydro bills.

People who don’t have AC will complain about how the people with AC are destroying the environment.

All because it’s hot.

Old-timers will talk about going to air-conditioned movies to beat the heat.

Those with shorter memories will praise the air conditioning on OC Transpo buses. That will lead some people to suggest that with the cost of bus fares it might be cheaper to get air conditioning.

You see how much conversation we can get out of a little heat?

It’s less confusing to talk about than baseball, not to mention electoral reform.

And in the old days it was less controversial than anything, a truly safe topic of conversation.

The problem now is that this is no longer true. The heat is a hot topic.

The arrival of climate change as a political issue has caused this.

There are those who don’t believe climate change exists, on the one side.

And there are those who believe climate change is such an imminent risk that we should no longer fly on airplanes. The sides are not equal: the bulk of opinion, scientific and otherwise, supports the idea that climate change is happening and that it is, to a large extent man-made.

But that doesn’t stop people from arguing about it. Sure, there’s climate change, some people say, but there has always been climate change.

Look at the Ice Age. Sure, there’s climate change, other people say, but we can’t do anything about it without destroying the economy. Sure, there’s climate change, say the most gloomy of us, but it’s too late to fix it.

The argument rages on, seemingly hotter the warmer the temperature. Some people think we have all sinned, to cause all this heat. Other people resent being called sinners.

And there you are, wondering whether to bump up the AC. When the rain comes, as it must, it’s time to shift the complaint to inadequate storm sewers. We’re nothing if not versatile.

The last days of summer are still going strong, but just around the corners lies autumn, school and the Terry Fox Run. The community of Greely will host its second annual Terry Fox Run event on Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Greely Community Centre (1448 Meadow Dr.).

The event coincides with hundreds of similar events across the nation, all celebrating Canada’s Terry Fox and raising money and awareness for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation.

Greely’s event, starting at 9 a.m., will offer three distances for participants: a fully accessible 2K course, a 5K and a 10K. Bicycles, strollers, wheelchairs and rollerblades are welcome to join the 2K distance.

To register, interested participants can visit the Terry Fox Foundation website (www.terryfox.org) and search for the GreelyManotick event, or find the event on Facebook by searching Terry Fox Run 2016 – Greely – Manotick.

Volunteers are also needed.

Last year’s inaugural event saw over 200 participants raise more than $15,000 for the cause. This year, the organizing team hopes to break that record.

So far, event organizer Caroline Cavallin has confirmed that the Greely area volunteer firefighters will be participating, and Coun.

Manotick News - Thursday, August 25, 2016 11

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Make homework less of a chore for students and parents The ideal time to do homework is as soon as kids get home from school, after a healthy snack.

Five tricks to make homework time less painful: The start of a new school year also means the return of homework.

Here are five tricks to keep this daily chore from becoming a source of conflict between kids and parents.

1. Establish a routine.

Homework should be done at a set time to avoid negotiations and instill selfdiscipline in kids. The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack.

2. Start with the most

difficult tasks.

It’s better to start with what kids like the least or the subject they find most difficult; after a day at school, kids are already tired of concentrating and will be less and less attentive as the minutes go by.

This will also allow them to finish their homework on a positive note.

3. Have everything close at hand. Make sure they’re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a compass, and anything else that is needed. This will cut short the imaginative ways kids can delay starting their homework.

4. Take a break.

Primary school-age kids are bound to lose concentration after about 20 minutes.

When you notice that happening, give them a short break of a predetermined duration.

5. Create motivation. If the kids have a hard time sitting still, get them to spell words while throwing a ball in the air or going up and down a set of stairs in your home.

Or promise to play with them for 15 minutes as soon as they’ve finished their homework. It’s up to you to find the best way to motivate them — no one knows your kids better than you.

Sleep, an important element in academic success Do your teenagers sleep a lot? Good! In order to be fit and able to absorb lots of new information, adolescents should get between nine and ten hours of sleep a day.

If your teens have a tendency to go to bed around midnight and then get up at seven in the morning to go to school, they’re probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep.

Sleeping in till noon on Saturday won’t help them recover.

During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep.

Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can undergo abrupt changes in level.

On top of that, many teenagers neglect their sleep

because of a busy schedule.

A young person who doesn’t get enough sleep will have trouble getting up in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, nervous, irritable and depressed. A chronic lack of sleep reduces a person’s learning and memory skills and can have a negative impact on school grades.

To restore a normal sleep cycle that will improve their academic performance, encourage your teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and get up every day at the same time.

• Turn off all screens (including cell phones) at least one hour before going to bed.

• Establish a relaxing

• Don’t drink any caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks) after the middle of

the afternoon.

Be sure to talk to a healthcare professional

When perfectionism becomes too much to handle Being a perfectionist can be a good thing, but only if it the tendency is kept within reasonable limits. If not, this character trait can become unhealthy and cause a lot of imbalance in a child’s life.

How can parents judge if their child’s search for perfection is excessive? How can they help him or her to better manage it? The following advice may be of use.

Sure, we try to teach our children that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. But that doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect.

Perfectionism is harmful to our well-being when it results in additional stress.

The constant dissatisfaction of striving for unattainable goals results in a frantic pace and constant self-doubt.

If you notice this kind of attitude in your children, take action right away in order to help them regain their self-esteem. They must not be allowed to sink further into the vicious circle of perfectionism. Be a role model for your children in their progress towards a healthy attitude regarding effort and making mistakes. The help of a psychologist may also be appropriate.

Over time, she will understand that not all situations require the same degree of

perfection and that her loved ones do not require it either.

She will learn to set achiev-

able goals and take pleasure in attaining them, without worrying exclusively about

succeeding. Teach her that making mistakes is a part of life and a part of learning.

Pet Adoptions

2. Many animals, especially cats, give birth throughout the spring and many are brought to us eight weeks or so later.

3. Early summer is the beginning of summer holiday season, and many people surrender their pet before going on holidays.

The third reason will shock a lot of people. You likely are very bonded to your pet and would not dream of surrendering her to a shelter because she doesn’t fit with your holiday plans.

But many, many people do.

You know what may shock you more? The OHS is mostly ok with that. We say “mostly” because we believe that being a pet owner is a serious commitment. But we also believe that, if all else fails, bringing your pet to a shelter is a responsible choice. Too many pets are simply abandoned when not convenient, dumped somewhere alone and left to their own devices. And that is much, much worse than surrendering him to a trustworthy shelter.
