The MessengerCOMMUNITY 2017 edition of A Taste of Manotick considered to be the best yet By Messenger Staff The forecast called for rain, thunder and lightning, but the sun busted through the clouds and shone brightly on the best A Taste of Manotick event to date. From the opening of the event at 4 p.m. Saturday, Manotick Main Street was jammed with local residents and visitors to the community. Bands played on stages at each end of the barricaded

street, and long line-ups formed at different areas. “We made a few changes this year, but everything was positive and well received,” said Manotick BIA Executive Director Donna Smith. “The event has been growing every year, and it is becoming a signature event for the village in the summer.” While A Taste of Manotick is known for local restaurants selling delicacies and offering food samples, the event goes

far beyond food. “It’s about getting a taste for everything Manotick has to offer,” Smith said. “It gave residents and the many visitors we had a chance to get a taste of everything Manotick has to offer.” Stages were set up with live music at each end of Manotick Main Street. Many businesses and organizations set up displays along the street. There were street entertainers, as well as perform-

ances by local dancers and martial artists. In front of Manotick Office Pro, several local authors were set up signing copies of their books. Manotick Office Pro has, for a long time, been an avid supporter of Manotick authors with their local book display. The Manotick Mews was also busy, with businesses participating and a classic car show in the parking lot by the clock tower. Because of the nice weather, Manotick’s patios were all packed with guests enjoying food and beverages. “We had some regular customers come, and we had some that got a chance to come for the first time,” said Manotick Black Dog Bistro owner Dot Janz, who chaired the A Taste of Manotick organizing committee for the BIA. “The attendance of the event has been great. It has grown steadily since the first year we held it.” Both Smith and Janz credited the organizing committee, the participating businesses and the volunteers for helping make the event a success. The Manotick Kiwanis Club was especially helpful, as they manned the barricades along Manotick Main Street.

September 9th with the funds raised from the walk going to support ROSSS’ transportation and caregivers programs. Last year ROSSS provided over 15,000 drives to seniors and adults with disabilities and offered over 6,000 hours of respite for caregivers. Current data shows that 15.4% of Ottawa’s population are seniors. This number is expected to double by 2031 to 250,000 seniors. As a result of this services and programs like transportation and caregiver support are critical to helping seniors age in the communities they have called home for their whole lives. In Ontario, 65% of seniors over the age of 65 who receive care identify transportation as their number one need. 29% of Ontarians act as unpaid caregivers for family members, neighbours, or a friend. If you would like to help ROSSS continue to offer

these needed programs in rural Ottawa, consider joining the Walk of Care. Registration and pledge forms are available online at www. walkofcare.ca.

MANOTICK MESSENGER

MessengerEditorial MESSENGER EDITORIAL

Our dairy farmers must be protected With NAFTA talks underway, most people do not know enough about Canada’s supply management system in the dairy industry, compared to the US dairy industry, to understand what is at stake for the future if Canada bows to pressures from south of the border. Canada is one of the few countries in the world that had the foresight to regulate milk production. We used to have oversupply too and learned that regulating the industry was better than costly, long-term storage facilities paid for by Canadian taxpayers. In 1973, farmers, after joint consultation with the government, agreed that their next three years of production would henceforth determine what they would be allowed to ship on a yearly basis – called their quota. That way our dairy farmers would stand on their own two feet with assurance and dignity, and processors could count on a guaranteed supply. Supply-management was born. If a farmer produced more than his allowable quota, he would receive almost nothing for that milk; quite the incentive for complying and only producing what was needed for the Canadian market. When the price of milk drops in the US from over-supply, dairy farmers continue to produce more milk in order to survive, and avoid bankruptcy. However, many dairy farms do fail, thereby causing a shortage of milk. In a shortage, the price rises. When the price rises again, they still produce extra milk in order to pay off the additional debt incurred when the price was low. This unregulated supply and demand market causes great havoc to dairy farmers in America, as referenced by President Trump’s comments about Wisconsin’s dairy industry a few days ago. What has not been mentioned in any news reports, and only adds to the oversupply of milk, is that almost 50% of all American dairy farmers’ incomes are derived from hidden subsidies. Canadian dairy farmers do not receive subsidies. Canada’s superior supply-management system, designed to fend off this very problem, ensures that Canadian farmers have stability and a reliable paycheque. It’s not a bed of roses, though, as Canadian farmers all face economic challenges due to the everrising costs of production. In order to succeed, farms have had to grow bigger and bigger – which is why we see so few family farms nowadays. Americans are not the only ones with a lot of milk to get rid of. New Zealand and Australia are in this game too, with small populations and low-cost over-production. Like America, neither has a supply management system, so they want to palm off their cheap, lower-quality surpluses to Canada. With Canada’s current high standards, these countries’ milk would not qualify to be sold here. President Trump wants access to Canadian dairy markets as a means to solve America’s short-sighted mismanagement problem. The only ones who benefit in the US are the speculators in a free market. In Canada both farmers and consumers have hugely benefited from the vision of a supply management system, with stability for farmers and an assured supply of high-quality milk for families.

Foreign students bring a taste of Italy to the Miller’s Oven By Jeff Morris Manotick has been known for the past few years for its restaurants. And while you can get some of the best Italian food in Ottawa in the village, the volunteer-run Miller’s Oven brought a taste of Italy to its menu for a few weeks in the summer. Arianne Bonfanti and Beatrice Rossini, two university students visiting the village from Milan, Itlay, volunteered at the Miller’s Oven and turned the restaurant’s kitchen into their own little playground for homestyle cooking. The girls were visiting Manotick and volunteering for the purpose of improving their English. They worked at summer camps, and for the last few weeks they were here, they were looking for something to do where they could interact with people. They went to the office of Rural Ottawa South Support Services, and were pointed in the direction of the Miller’s Oven. They became regular volunteers at the Miller’s Oven, and news

of their incredible pasta soon spread throughout the area. Bonfanti, who is studying medical biotechnology and hopes to land a career as a researcher, the trip to Canada was not her first. Bonfanti spent a year in Montreal as an exchange student in high school. English is her third language, as she already speaks Italian and French. “I’m better in French than in English,” Bonfanti said. “But my English has improved a lot here. I am also learning a lot of different expressions that I have never heard before, especially from the kids we worked with at the summer camp.” For Rossini, it was her first time in Canada. She thoroughly enjoyed her time in Manotick. Working with kids at the summer camp she volunteered at was a great experience for her, as she is studying to become a teacher. “I love Canada,” she said. “It’s a beautiful country and this community is beautiful. The people have been very

nice to us.” In addition to their time in the kitchen cooking their signature pasta dishes, Bonfanti and Rossini spent their time at the Miller’s Oven waiting on tables, meeting and engaging with local residents and visitors to the community. “We met a lot of wonderful people here,” said Rossini. “Everyone has been so nice and so welcoming to us.” The girls left Manotick last week to do some travelling. They are heading to New York, Montreal and Toronto before returning to Italy. “We couldn’t come here without going to New York,” said Bonfanti. “I am excited about going back to Montreal, and seeing more of Toronto as well.” Rossini was also excited about going to New York. “New York has a big Italian influence, and I am sure we will meet a lot of Italian people there,” she said. “We are also looking forward to seeing things like Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. I am also

hoping we get to go to Yankee Stadium.” Despite being welcomed with open arms in Manotick, both girls said they were home-

sick and were looking forward to going back to Milan. “I miss my family,” Rossini said. “The people here are won-

derful, but family is a big thing in Italy. I can’t wait to go home and see them and share our stories of being in Manotick with them.”

A few months older than Canada, the Downey Farm celebrates 150 years On the north side of Mitch Owens Road near Manotick Station there is a farm that is 150 years old and has been occupied by the Downey Family since February 1867. The land originally was part of the Billings estate. Bradish Billings was probably one of the first residents of Gloucester Township! Billings, whom “Billings Bridge” is name after, gave his daughter Sara (Sally) 100 acres; she sold that 100 acres to James and Theresa Downey February 22, 1867 - a few months before Confederation! In 1938 Vernie and Vera Downey took over the farm; then in 1957 Linus and Madeline Downey bought the farm continuing to work the farm with dairy, threshing etc. The huge Maple tree in front of the house is 12 feet circumference and over 100 years old. The buildings on the farm are amazing - the buildings are hand hewn squared logs, often 12 to 14 inches in size, two barns are attached on a unique angle - the house is original, inviting and cozy with many improvements

that Linus and Madeline have made, like hydro and telephone, neither available until 1957..The root cellar near the house is still used. A root cellar is a cold, moist area used to keep fruits and vegetable fresh; in the “old” days a root cellar often was a structure in the ground lined with stones. The men milked the cows in summer on the hill behind the barns, carried the milk in pails to the cement cold water tank near the road, emptied the milk into cans for pickup by the truck the next day. All the fences are old rail fences or stone fences; stones that were picked out of the fields before plowing and seeding could take place - stones of all sizes, many so large that they had to be moved by horse and stoneboat. There was a rhubarb patch that was so large people would often stop to pick some. There is a maple

The bush took a beating in the ice storm in 1998. .Gardens were everywhere - many children played there, Linus and Madeline had seven children - Cathy, Mark, Carl, John, Jane, Paul and Lorne. Can you imagine the crowd

The MessengerJUST FOR FUN ARIES

Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even though you need to concentrate, do not turn up the intensity so much that it becomes stressful. Take a break every now and then to unwind and get away.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, you are eager to listen and learn, but you also want to create your own experiences and share them with others. Find a balance between being a teacher and a student.

GEMINI

May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you excel at thinking through decisions before making them. This careful approach tends to work in your favor, but some decisions can be made more quickly than others.

CANCER

Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, an important decision must be made in the very near future. Your judgement may be clouded by extraneous information, so try to block unnecessary noise.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23

You are at a turning point in your life and now may be a good time to make a few key changes, Leo. They may involve making new friends or exploring a new career.

VIRGO

Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you have a lot to get done, you will be able to make decisions on your feet and adapt as the situation calls for it this week. Changes can come about quickly.

HOW TO PLAY Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

LIBRA

Sept 23/Oct 23 Actively explore any impulses you may have over the next few days, Libra. You may not have the freedom for such exploration beyond this week, so act soon.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, some time relaxing seems like the ideal scenario right now. But you’re not prone to sitting still too long. Look for activities that keep you engaged.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23/Dec 21 You are in your element this week, Sagittarius. Expect to be soaring on good vibes for several days. There is nothing pressing to pull you in another direction, so keep sailing along.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, now may seem like a good time to allow your imagination to run wild, especially if the going gets tough. However, you need to be fully present this week.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18

Optimism is always good, Aquarius. But you may need to look at all sides of the situation right now if you are to make an informed choice about something important.

PISCES

Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if you are having difficulty asking for something you desire, practice what you want to say and test out your delivery on a friend.

DINING OUT

in Rideau Township

g n i r Fun Family Night u t a e F

Tips for a fun family night out In its 2016 National Dining Survey, Zagat found that the average person dines out 4.5 times per week. That figure may seem high to some, especially parents with young children at home. While parents of young children may not dine out as often as the average person, there are ways for families to plan fun nights out on the town, no matter how young their kids might be. · Find family-friendly restaurants. The establishments where families choose to do their dining can make all the difference. Trendy hotspots or upscale restaurants may not be great choices for family nights out. Such establishments may be too expensive or fail to offer kid-friendly fare, and parents of especially young children may feel uncomfortable if their tots begin to cry in the middle of dinner. When choosing a restaurant for a family night out, parents should look for a

spot that’s naturally more noisy so a crying baby or excited child won’t make moms and dads or other diners uncomfortable. Diners or chain restaurants tend to offer kids’ menus in addition to plenty of dishes that kids will readily consume. · Choose the right time. Dining out at night can be difficult for families, as kids might be growing tired. Instead of a night out on the town, book a mid- to late-afternoon out. Restaurants tend to be less busy during these times of day, and parents can relax and enjoy the company of their children while still getting out of the house for a family meal together. · Bring along some entertainment. Some kidfriendly restaurants may provide crayons and placemats that kids can use to create their own artistic masterpieces. But parents should bring backup entertainment just in case. Pack some

crayons and coloring books or bring along a book to read to your children while you wait for your meal to be delivered. Bring along a couple of toys to keep especially young children occupied as well. · Practice your night out. Parents of young children who have yet to try dining out as a family can make a few practice runs at home. Choose a night at home to teach kids how to behave at restaurants. If kids tend to squirm a lot or take long periods of time to eat meals at home, explain to them that such behavior is unacceptable at restaurants, encouraging them to sit still and focus on eating their meals during your practice run. Nights out on the town as a family may make parents of young children nervous or hesitant. But there are a handful of ways to make sure such excursions are fun for kids and parents alike.
