A firefighter walks in front of the Ruiter dairy farm, which lost three barns and 80 head of cattle in a raging fire at 2600 Prince of Wales Dr. in Barrhaven, Friday, September 8. Smoke could be seen for kilometres around. Water had to be trucked in from Manotick, as there are no hydrants in the area. Damages were estimated at over $1M, including the cattle, farming equipment, much of it located in the three barns which were destroyed. Mike Carroccetto photo
Tragic fire destroys one of Barrhaven’s last remaining farms By Jeff Morris and Charlie Senack It was known to many as the “last farm standing in Barrhaven.” Now, Peter Ruiter is trying to digest the tragic fire that destroyed his farm and decide what the next step will be. Eighty purebred Hol-
stein dairy cows are dead after a fire broke out Friday afternoon on the Black Rapids farm at 2600 Prince of Wales Dr. just north of Fallowfield Road. “The 911 call started at 1:02 (in the) afternoon and there was a large number of calls,” said fire spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal. “The working
fire was declared before crews arrived on scene.” Three barns were destroyed on the property, including one that was 125-years-old. The fire left at least $1 Million in damages, and one of the barns also held most of the farming equipment. The family was able to go back and retrieve a trac-
tor as well as the family’s vehicle. The fire was hard to beat primarily because there were no fire hydrants in the area. Cardinal said firetrucks had to come in from nearby areas and had to start a water shuttle system. “We had to set up a water shuttle system
bringing in (fire trucks) from the rural area such as station 94 in Manotick, 41 in Kanata as well as higher up in South Ottawa,” said Cardinal. Ruiter had been working in one of the barns until about 12:30 p.m. before heading into his house. A motorist driving by the farm on Prince
of Wales Drive saw the flames and alerted Ruiter. Their house was untouched by the fire because of the direction the wind was blowing. Ottawa Fire is crediting the family for getting out safely and not returning to try and save some of the cattle.

fire continues from page 1 “(We) want to commend the owner for getting out safely rather than putting himself in harm’s way,” said Cardinal. The farm belongs to the Ruiter Family, a wellknown farming family in the community. Ruiter also serves as the Chair of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. He is actively involved in the Mayor’s Rural Expo and Food Aid Day. A former Carleton Ravens basketball player, he is also involved with the milk marketing board’s sponsorship of USports basketball events. “Peter is a community leader and what happened is devastating,” said Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson in Barrhaven Saturday morning. “It’s a tragedy.” Councillor Jan Harder echoed Watson’s sentiments. “It’s a terrible thing that happened, and the hearts of all of us in the community go out to him,” said Harder. “I can’t imagine how awful it was for him to not be able to go in and save those animals. It’s heartbreaking in so many ways.” Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre has worked with Ruiter on several events and issues through the years. Ruiter has been actively speaking up for
Clean up has begun at the Black Rapids Farm fire that destroyed three barns and 80 head of cattle.
Canadian diary farmers after US President Donald Trump criticized the Canadian supply management system in the recent NAFTA negotiations. Ruiter has always been known for his kindness to his animals. He talked about his cows at the Rural Expo and Celebrity Cow Milking contest in June, commenting that each cow has a name and a personality. He had a strong emotional bond with all of them.
The 18 cows that survived were his “dry cows.” They are the cows that are off the milking cycle. Ruiter said that he is often asked by people passing by how he gets the cows across Prince of Wales to the field along the Rideau River. “I always wish I had a better answer for people when they ask me about the cows crossing the road,” he said. “We take them across by truck, three at a time. There are 36 cows
over there right now.” Ruiter’s parents came to Canada from the Netherlands in 1958. His father began to work on a farm, and eventually saved enough money for his own farm. The situation at Black Rapids is unique. The land was originally leased for a farm operation by his father from the National Capital Commission in 1962. The land is still owned by the NCC, while Ruiter owns the farm business, having

bought it from his father in 1992. “At that time, there were 1,500 dairy farms in Carleton,” Ruiter said. “Now, there are 70. Most of the ones that stayed got bigger. Technology has helped us. We can produce five times the amount of milk with the same number of cows as we could then.” Whether Ruiter remains one of the 70 dairy farms is something he is still trying to decide. The
incident is too fresh for him to make that decision. The Holsteins are insured, and some of the 18 surviving cows are pregnant. The barn and the milking equipment were partially insured. The cause of the fire is still undetermined, and the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal has been called in. It is unclear if the family will rebuild of not. The farm is on NCC property, and that will impact their decision.

Brothers: “I have two brothers; Hayden is 18 and has finished his first year of university at Carleton U for architecture. Jonny is 14 years old and is in grade 10.” Pet: 9 year old black lab named Max) Pet Peeve: “My biggest pet peeve is having holes in my socks.

I’m a cashier at the concession stand, selling tickets and food. I really enjoy my job and the relaxed, yet professional environment. I hope to work there until university.”

Favourite Subjects: “My biggest interest in school is sciences – specifically biology. My plan is to hopefully go into medicine with an undergrad in biology. I love the subject, because it can be related to everyday life, and is used to have a better understanding of ourselves. I find it fascinating to be able explain the reasons for our daily actions and how our bodies work and have evolved. I also want to be able to help people in the future, be it through research or hands on medicine.” What do you enjoy reading for pleasure? “My favourite genres are historical fiction and fantasy. The escapism that reading those genres provide is very entertaining, and is a great way to unwind from the stresses of the day. I also find that reading creative novels helps me become a better writer for my own school work.”
Who is your favourite author? “I don’t actually have a favourite author. I tend to read novels from a variety of different authors, and haven’t read more than two or three books written by the same person.” Accomplishments: “Academically, one of my biggest accomplishments has been getting on the Honour Roll for the past four years, which I work hard to achieve. Also, I have been on my school’s Cappies Critics Team (a group of students who review high school plays for the Ottawa Citizen) for the past two years, and I had one of my reviews published for the first time this year. That was a huge accomplishment for me, because it showed me how much I had grown as a writer over the past year. I was also awarded the Leader of the Pack Award last year. I was given this award for demonstrating excellent leadership skills, and being a team player on the school sports teams I was a part of. All of my accomplishments have helped me grow as a person, and helped me
realize how much there still is for me to achieve.” Activities/Interests: “I am part of multiple sports teams at my school, including volleyball, basketball, football and hockey. Playing sports has always been something I loved and has given me the opportunity to meet great people and strengthen my own skills. I’m also a member of Student Council as a Grade 11 Representative, and as stated earlier, I’m on the Cappies team. I find these are great ways for me to help out in my school community, and have a good time while doing so. Outside of school, I’m also on the Riverside South Community Association’s Executive Committee as a Youth Representative. This allows me to have a voice in my community and represent the voice of my peers. On a more casual note, I have also recently taken up embroidery as a hobby. It’s a relaxing and entertaining activity, and I love being able to transform simple clothes into colourful and interesting pieces. I also really love music, even though I have no

musical talents myself. My favourite genres are alternative rock and folk music, and in the summer I love going to local music festivals and concerts with friends.” Why did you get involved in what you do? “I wanted to be able to make a difference and make connections in my community. It may only have a small impact, but I hope that even my
small actions can make a difference. I also enjoy doing the things I participate in; I find it fulfilling and entertaining.” Career Goals: “My hope for the future is to get into medicine, but before that of course, I need to get an undergraduate degree. Luckily, I still have a bit of time before I actually need to make a real decision”

Protestors crossed the line in aftermath of devastating fire Some called it tasteless. Others called it disgusting and pathetic. Simply put, the actions of protestors in the aftermath of the tragic fire in Barrhaven that destroyed Peter Ruiter’s dairy farm last week was in poor taste. Ruiter’s farm was destroyed by a blaze Friday afternoon. Three barns and 80 Holstein dairy cows were destroyed in the blaze that had an estimated million dollars in losses. While the tragedy was life altering and devastating for Ruiter, who is one of Eastern Ontario’s leading advocates for the rights of farmers, it was even worse emotionally. There he stood, watching the fire, knowing that inside, the animals he loved were perishing. The only thing he could do was watch, and fight the tears from trickling down his face. Peter Ruiter told us a couple of months ago that he knew each one of his 98 cows. He knew them by name. He knew their traits and personalities. He loved them. He took care of them. They were his life. After the fire, he went to look at the wreckage. He saw two of his purebred Holsteins. Sequel was lying there, dead. Gummy was beside her. Ruiter couldn’t look any further. He couldn’t take it. Yet, somehow, a group of heartless protestors thought it would be appropriate to show up in front of his farm and protest on Saturday. They called it a vigil. They held signs. “Honk to show compassion for animals.” “Not your mom, not your milk.” Sure, animal rights protestors can bring attention to certain things that need to be addressed. They can protest in front of circuses and zoos if the rights of the animals are being violated. They can protest at Marineland. They even showed up and protested at Baconpalooza at the Experimental Farm, where they were met with comments like, “If God didn’t want us to eat pigs, he wouldn’t have made them out of bacon.” But to protest Peter Ruiter at his farm when he is mourning the loss of 80 animals that he loved was just plain awful. Ruiter commented on the protest in the Ottawa Sun. “My cows are my life and some of the comments I’ve heard … The day they lose a loved one that they care about and then have someone criticize you after you’ve looked after them their whole life, it’s wrong.” Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod was a little more blunt in her response to the protestors in the Sun. “I couldn’t think of a more disgusting thing to do to a man who loves his cattle and watched in horror as they perished. I was angry about that. To me, that crossed the line.” A Go Fund Me page has started to help raise funds for Ruiter to rebuild his farm. Within two days, more than $20,000 was raised. The goal is $150,000. To make a donation, visit https://www.gofundme. com/ruiter-family-barn-fire-recovery.

The IndependentCOMMUNITY Country bands highlight 2017 Oktoberfest Ottawa in Barrhaven
Barrhaven’s biggest party of the year is just around the corner. Oktoberfest Ottawa will be held in Barrhaven from Thurs., Sept. 28 through Sat., Sept. 30. This year’s event has been moved across the road from its usual Clarke Fields location to the Strandherd Ultimate Park at 4061 Strandherd Drive. “The main reason for the move was that the grounds at Clarke Fields were damaged during the heavy rains and flooding during Barrhaven’s Canada Day,” said Paul Gibb of Oktoberfest Ottawa. “There were heavy equipment machines that got stuck during the teardown, and even tow trucks were getting stuck. There are ruts in the ground, and it is not ready to host an event like Oktoberfest.” Gibb said that the new location across the road will be just as good. “There will be plenty of parking at the city snow dump, and we will also be running a shuttle bus from
the Loblaws parking lot,” he said. While people associate Oktoberfest with Bavarian music and food, this year’s event will have a distinct country flavour to it. Thursday night, country music station Y101 will hold its 45th anniversary bash to kick off the festival. Leaving Thomas, Charlie Major and headliner Chad Brownlee will put on a free concert open to those 19 years of age and older. On Friday, Oktoberfest opens at 4 p.m. with two hours of Oktoberfest Oompah tunes, followed by the Almrauch Maple Leaf Bavarian Folk Dancers at 6 p.m. Sweet Home Chicago, a Blues Brothers cover band, play at 7 p.m. while popular Barrhaven band Lemon Cash plays at 8:30 p.m. Meghan Patrick, who has been nominated for five Canadian Country Music Awards, will headline Saturday night, taking the stage at 10:30 p.m. Om Saturday, the doors open at 2 p.m. with Sch-

The IndependentDISCOVERBARRHAVEN.COM Better products at better prices make Totally Techy the place to go
For Samy El-Tahtawy, staying one step ahead of the latest trends means everything. “When fidget spinners came out, we were the first ones to have them,” he said. “We had them before anyone. We were selling between 150 and 250 of them a day and we had line ups at our counter that were 15 to 20 people deep at times. People were coming from all over Ottawa and Gatineau to our store in Barrhaven.” El-Tahtawy and his brother, Ramy, opened Totally Techy last November. In just a short time, the store has become a destination for cell phone and tablet repairs and accessories, as well as the latest things on the market. For the El-Tahtawy brothers, opening a retail store was a natural step to complement their existing business as wholesalers.
“We carry high quality products that we already have,” El-Tahtawy said. “It didn’t make sense not to open a store.” As a retail store, being wholesalers and supplying their own store gives Totally Techy a big competitive advantage. “We have very high quality parts and products at better prices than other stores,” El Tahtawy said. Access to these products is another advantage they have. “We go to China every two to three months,” El Tahtawy said. “We have some relationships with some great companies there.” Among the companies they deal with is FoxConn, a world leader in after sales products and services for computers, communications and consumer electronics. “In three years, we have worked with 45 of the best suppliers in China,” said El Tahtawy. “We have narrowed it down to the best eight. What separates us is that while many companies buy products from China, we go over and we do our own quality control. That’s why we know the products
Professionalism and great customer service have made Ramy El Tahtawy of Totally Techy a popular person among students and young professionals in the community.
we carry are the best. Because we are wholesalers, we also buy thousands of units of various items. That gives us the buying power to give our customers the best prices.” Totally Techy has, for its demographic, a perfect location in the RioCan Marketplace in Barrhaven. They are
located between Pizza Pizza and Booster Juice. The store draws many customers in the 15-20 age demographic, and they could not be bookended by two better businesses. “When we were looking for a place, this spot was not originally available,” El Tahtawy said. “We were going to be
over near the theatre in the old Rogers location. But we checked again, and this spot was available. It’s perfect for us.” While quality and price are two of the reasons for the success of Totally Techy, their professionalism is also a big factor in attracting customers. “We have an attract-
ive, clean store, and we pride ourselves on our professionalism and our high level of customer service,” El Tahtawy said. While customers are drawn to the store for cell phone and tablet repairs, they are also drawn for some of the unique items that the store carries.

TECHY continues from page 8 “We have a lot of things that are really cool,” El Tahtawy said. “They may be things that our customers have never seen before, like a digital sim card that lets you have two phone numbers on the same
phone. We are a store where people can go to buy something for their kids and know that they will love it.” And if you are looking for the next big thing, there is a chance that Totally Techy might have
it. Identifying what that next big thing will be is a big part of their business. El Tahtawy says he knows what it will be. “There is a new type of screensaver,” he said. “It is so strong that you can smash it with a ham-
mer and it won’t break. That is going to be the next big thing.” The Barrhaven Business Profile is brought to you by the Barrhaven BIA. We encourage you to shop locally and support the businesses that

PEDORTHICS

Q: My feet hurt, but I still want to wear sandals. What should I look for? A: Finding sandals that fit and function well can be a daunting task. Sandals are a wonderful break from closed in shoes, but can result in many problems including over use Derek Gilmer injuries and nasty blisters. A loose Canadian Certified Pedorthist sloppy fit will make your feet work hard to keep them on and give you poor support which often leads to over use injuries from over gripping with your toes. To avoid this look for sandals with 2-3 adjustable straps to help ensure a snug fit. Look for sandals with a heel cup, built-in arch support and metatarsal support. If you wear orthotics look for removable foot beds that will accommodate your orthotic. We are always ready to help recommend specific brands and styles that will work for your foot type and mechanics.
Q: I’ve seen a device called the “Circulation Booster” advertised in TV. The ad said it was for people with swollen ankles and cold feet. Could you tell me how this Circulation Booster works? A: The Circulation Booster has been a strong seller here Home Health Care Manager at Fallowfield Pharmasave! Designed to increase circulation, reduce swelling and alleviate aches and pains, the Circulation Booster is roughly the size of a bathroom scale. It’s easy to use!

A: Someone once told us that “good paper makes good friends”. If you have reached an agreement for the purchase of these items, you and the sellers should put down the basic terms in writing so that when the closing date arrives neither you nor they will be disappointed. Without there being something in writing, even in a simple way, there is a risk of disagreement as to what was discussed. You don’t want this to get in the way of an otherwise smooth real estate deal. B.A.,LL.B.

OPH is also doing its part with weekly surveillance and the treating of major standing water sites. For more information on WNV and how to prevent it residents can visit OttawaPublicHealth. ca or call OPH at (613) 580-6744.
Recently Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has received confirmation of the first human case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Ottawa for the 2017 WNV Season. This is an infection that can be spread by the Northern House Mosquito, and in small number of cases cause a flu-like illness in humans. While symptoms only show in about 20% of cases, OPH is still encouraging residents to take precautions to prevent the spread of WNV. These include treating areas of standing water where mosquitos can breed, applying Health Canada-approved mosquito repellent, staying away
GLAD Cleaning the Capital
Early bird registration is now open for the City’s GLAD Cleaning the Capital Fall Campaign. This city-wide event, which runs from September 15th to October 15th, brings together people from all

Volunteers who register their clean up project before September 14th have a chance to win one of the many prizes donated by sponsors. This is a great opportunity for family and friends to get together and work on their own customized cleanup project. To register you can visit ottawa. ca/clean or call 3-1-1, where you will select a location for your cleanup.
Online Public Consultation: Draft Site Alteration By-law
City staff are developing a new bylaw to
regulate site alteration and are looking for your input online. This new bylaw will replace the existing Drainage bylaw and the former municipalities’ topsoil protection bylaws. Its goal is to prevent drainage problems, protect the productivity of soils in designated Agricultural Resource Areas, protect designated natural areas, reduce risk of root damage to City-owned trees, and establish a basic set of rules for future site alteration. Residents can submit their comments by emailing planning@ ottawa.ca or calling 613580-2459 until September 25th. The draft bylaw, along with more detailed information is also available at ottawa.ca.

The IndependentSPORTS
Barrhaven defender named co-captain of Nepean Raiders By Carlos Verde Corey Tam has seen his fair share of the CCHL over three-plus seasons with his hometown Nepean Raiders. As one of the longestserving Raiders in recent memory, he’s held a leadership role the past few years. “It’s been an awesome (three years),” Tam told TheCCHL.ca on Monday. “I’ve grown more as a person, because that’s what they look for here in Nepean — people first and players second.” Having taken classes at the University of Ottawa and now Algonquin College, the 5’9 150 lb. Barrhaven native is hoping to draw concrete attention from NCAA universities in 2017-18, his final season of junior hockey. “Wherever I go is based on what our team does, (so) if I go Division I, it’ll be because the team helped me get there,” said Tam. “Going forward, it’s just about going to school — education first, then hopefully after that I can (play in) Europe.” Tam’s coach, Darcy Findlay, a former CCHL and Division I player,
speaks highly of his cocaptain. “He’s one of the best kids I’ve coached on and off the ice,” said Findlay, who played 112 games with Bemidji State (200812). “A team guy first that works hard every day and truly cares about our program.” The Raiders bench boss believes Tam’s poise — evident since his 16-year in the CCHL2, where he played big minutes in Ottawa West’s march to the 2014 final — is one of his biggest assets. “You’d never know if he was excited or frustrated with the way things are going, because he just does his job and what’s asked of him regardless if it’s in his favour,” explained Findlay. “He’s a huge piece in our puzzle.” Life in junior hockey can vary from player to player; for Tam, whose family (mom Kristina, dad Steve, sister Brooke) billets some of his teammates, it’s virtually all Raiders, all the time. “I wake up pretty early — 8:30 or nine — get changed, have breakfast, get online, get classes going (and) make sure I’m caught up on that,” out-
Nepean Raiders’ Corey Tam (8) and Kanata Lasers’ Bennett Stockdale (11), both from Barrhaven, battle for the puck along the boards during a CCHL Junior ‘A’ game last Thursday (Sept. 7). Tam, playing his fourth and final season with Nepean, has been named co-captain of the Raiders along with Kari Belec. Mike Carroccetto photo
lined Tam. “Then get to the rink for 2 p.m. workout or 4 p.m. practice, then go home and chill out with the guys.” What the future holds
for the sturdily-built Raiders blueliner remains to be seen; he now has a “C” on his chest,
along with some interest from south of the border, and will be looking to build on his career-high
22 points (four goals, 18 assists) from last season. With files from Mike Carroccetto
