Steering committee public meeting stresses positives of a Stittsville BIA BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Premier visits Saunders Farm
Mark Saunders (far left), Director of Fun at Saunders Farm in Munster, talks about the attractions of Saunders Farm to (from left) Ottawa West-Nepean MPP and Ontario Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli, Mark’s wife Angela Grant Saunders and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne during the Premier’s visit to Saunders Farm on Friday afternoon, July 21.
As the number of business improvement areas (BIAs) in the city of Ottawa keeps growing, the push is on for Stittsville to join the trend. “We are just at the begining stage,” said Stittsville BIA steering committee chair Jim Walker. “We would welcome anyone’s imput,” Walker told about 40 people who attended a BIA information session at Gourbourn Recreation Complex July 18. “The work is really just going to start now,” he said. “This is our first opportuni-

Questions raised about cost and boundaries of Stittsville BIA Continued from page 1
“Where it is at now is we need to determine the level of interest within the business community,” Simpson said. A BIA, once established, is funded through a levy on businesses within the boundaries of a BIA, with the level of payment of each business determined by their assessed property value. The bigger the value, the bigger the levy a business pays into the BIA based on what a BIA sets as its annual budget. What that annual BIA budget is, and what an individual BIA decides to do with that budget would be determined by a BIA’s board of directors once one is established. “At the end of the day, it is up to the BIAs to decide what it wants to get involved in,” Simpson said. At this point, those behind the push for a Stittsville BIA are looking at the most inclusive BIA possible, with all businesses in Stittsville being part. At this point, there would be three main areas of Stittsville that a BIA would cover — the Stittsville Main St. area, Hazeldean Rd. and Iber Rd. Simpson said those three main areas would cover about 90 per cent of the businesses within the community, with about 10 per cent elsewhere within Stittsville. While the latest effort to establish a
Stittsville BIA is just now going public, creating a Stittsville BIA is heartily endorsed by Stittsville city councillor Shad Qadri. “I strongly support the establishment of a BIA in Stittsville as I see there are many benefits that it would provide and it would be a valuable investment for businesses,” Qadri said.
“At the end of the day, it is up to the BIA to decide what it wants to get involved in.” OTTAWA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICER BRIAN SIMPSON
“All decisions of the BIA would be made by the businesses and it is the businesses that would elect a board made up of Stittsville businesses. “A BIA is important for the growing business community in Stittsville to have access to the resources which help them to thrive,” Qadri said. As those who want to see a BIA established in Stittsville now seek further input from businesses in the community, a special online survey has been forwarded to all business owners in the community. The survey, which Qadri said will continue through Aug. 4, can be ac-
cessed in English at at https://s-ca. chkmkt.com/?e=89367&h=601F5A1 36DD2158&l=en or the French version can be accessed at https://s-ca. chkmkt.com/?e=89367&h=601F5A1 36DD2158&l=fr. “It is very important that the steering committee hears from Stittsville’s business leaders to provide their input. All types of feedback are important and welcomed from every area of our diverse business community,” Qadri said. “Businesses and commercial property owners are requested to please complete an online survey.” Qadri said one of the main benefits of a BIA is that the business community can lobby and address city hall with a unified voice. “A BIA becomes a very strong voice at council and city hall,” he said. “It adds more power to that business voice.” Qadri said businesses in other areas of the city see the benefit of having a BIA, and as Stittsville continues to grow in the coming years now is the time for a BIA in the community. “The number of BIAs in the city continues to grow because businesses see the benefit,” he said of the 19 BIAs that now exist in the city, including two in Kanata. While Walker said Stittsville’s business community as a whole will decide
Celebrate Life
Initial proposed boundaries of a Stittsville BIA. if the time is right for a local BIA, he thinks all businesses in the coummunity would see the benefits once a BIA is established. “The best case scenario is a large and strong BIA,” Walker said. “Look at any other BIA website here in the Ottawa area, they are excellent and have high traffic volume,” he said. “If we all pitch in relatively small amounts of funding, it will benefit all of Stittsville.”
City of Ottawa
At this point, Simpson said that from his perspective the online survey will help determine what the level of support in the business community is and help determine whether there is any point to move forward with next steps. Simpson said that there needs to be a sizeable level of support to move forward, adding that if the business community is split 50-50 then the formation of a BIA in Stittsville would likely be dead for now.

Section of Fernbank Rd. being closed down for storm mangement work in August BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
At pig roast at Stittsville Legion
Tiffany Lepack/Metroland
The second annual pig roast was held at the Stittsville Legion on Saturday, July 22, with organizers expecting close to 100 people for dinner. Volunteers roasted two pigs, one at 98 lbs. and one weighing in at 68 lbs. The fire was started at 5:30 a.m., with the larger pig starting on the spit at 7 a.m. and the second one starting to roast at 8:30 a.m. Paul Bedard (left) came in from Orleans to help cook the pigs with Legion executive member Sean McCormick (right) also helping out with the roasting of the larger pig.
A culvert is being installed by Taggart Construction on Fernbank Road in August which will see part of the road being closed for a few weeks. Stittsville residents are being given a heads up that a section of Fernbank Rd. from Shea Road to Robert Grant Drive will be closed between Tuesday, Aug. 8 and Tuesday, Aug. 22. The addition of a box culvert across the roadway is being performed for future storm water management. Notification signs will be posted in advance of the closure with additional signs posted during the affected period. However, local and emergency vehicle access will be maintained. The city regrets any inconvenience this may cause Stittsville residents.

Speed monitoring signs are just one of the tools available in the city’s tool box to slow down traffic amid constant complaints being made by residents about the speed of traffic on local streets.

Mayor’s Report
PLACING THE FINAL PIECE ON STAGE 2 LRT By: Mayor Jim Watson Last month, I had the privilege of welcoming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the Belfast Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility, where our Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and O-trains are currently being built and assembled. Prime Minister Trudeau announced that the Federal Government would finance the final tier of our Stage 2 LRT project, the single largest infrastructure project in the City’s history. The Federal Government has pledged to contribute $1.09 billion, in addition to over $67 million committed to Stage 2 through the first phase of the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund last year. This funding announcement comes a year after the Province of Ontario committed to fund its third of our LRT project by investing $1 billion towards Stage 2 LRT, plus 50 per cent of the cost associated with extending the O-Train system to the Ottawa airport and from Place d’Orléans to Trim. The City of Ottawa will cover the remainder of the LRT costs, approximately $1 billion. Now that the final funding piece of the Stage 2 LRT project has been put in place, we can plan to put shovels in the ground in 2019 and continue expanding our world-class LRT system. Stage 2 LRT will connect our residential areas to our largest employment areas, major retail outlets, and cultural and recreational destinations. By 2021, the Trillium Line will be expanded South to reach Earl Armstrong/ Bowesville Station, with a link to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Airport. In the East, the Confederation Line will extend to Place d’Orléans and Trim Road by 2022. And in the West, it will reach Algonquin College and Moodie Drive by 2023. Stage 2 LRT will transform the way we travel in our City. Once completed, 70% of Ottawa residents will live within five kilometers of efficient, clean, accessible, comfortable and reliable rail service. Our new O-Train system will span over 60 kilometers, take 14, 000 vehicles off the road during rush hour and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The O-Train will also save residents money with reduced car costs, including fuel costs, vehicle wear and tear and even accident avoidance.
Efforts underway Parking to slow down traffic issues top Continued from page 5
But not all streets are ideal locations for those flex stakes. “I have been working closely with transportation staff with the city to discuss the feasibility of traffic calming measures at this location. First, while flex stakes were initially considered as an option, due to the multiple property laneways close by, staff decided it best not to restrict the residents of the street by putting posts between them,” Qadri said. “We did paint a centre yellow line to try to keep traffic within their identified lanes. Furthermore, on the west side on Rosehill, parking is supported on both sides of the street to encourage a similar result of calming known as ‘side friction’,” he said, adding that city staff implemented speed monitoring signs at one end of Rosehill as requested by residents which will remain for the duration of this season. “Speeding is a major concern for both Ottawa Police Services and myself,” Qadri said. “It is something that endangers the lives and safety of all residents whether they be pedestrians, cyclists, or other drivers. Unfortunately, speeding is not a problem that can be solved overnight but with proper education and deterrents, we can be-
gin to make the change.” Qadri said the “Slow Down for Us” campaign initiated by Safer Roads Ottawa is a example of the educational aspects of tackling vehicle speed issues in the community. “It encourages and reminds drivers to be aware of the risks they take when they choose to speed, particularly on residential streets where many of our parks are located in which our children play. SPEED ROLE MODELS
“The initiative also provides the opportunity for neighbours to chat with each other about the issue, to promote their support by placing a sign on their property and encourages them to act as role models when it comes to speeding on their own streets,” Qadri explained. He further encourages residents to contact city police about concerns regarding car speeds on their streets. “It is also important to note that Ottawa Police Service enforces speed monitoring in residential areas based on the reports they receive,” he said. “If you are concerned about speeding on your street, please use the OPS online reporting system with the time of occurrence and details of vehicles you witness and encourage your neighbours to do the same.”

BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
The numbers are in, and parking concerns continue to lead the way when it comes Stittsville residents contacting the city’s bylaw and regulatory services to register a complaint. According to the numbers released by the city’s bylaw services for the first two quarters of 2017, the number of parking related contacts from Stittsville Ward 6 that were registered camde in at 268, by far the most of any category recorded. The second highest number was related to animal issues, which came in at 165. In recent years, parking issue complaints have been the leading category with 489 parking related contacts recorded in 2016, with a high of 557 such contacts made in 2013. These numbers come at a time when the City of Ottawa is considering making a change to the amount of time a person can park on a street legally. PARKING CHANGES
The confirmed Federal and Provincial support and funding for Stage 2 LRT demonstrates a historic vote of confidence in future of the City of Ottawa.
On June 16, Prime Minister Trudeau announced $1.09 billion in Federal Government funding for the City’s Stage 2 LRT project.
resident complaints
As it stands now, city bylaws allow for a maximum of three-hour parking on any street without specific parking signs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. This is enforced on a complaint basis allowing residents to report parked vehicles which remain parked on their street for long durations of time. However, the city’s traffic services is currently in the process of updating/ rewriting the Traffic and Parking Bylaw that would change that and allow vehicles to park for six consecutive hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. but only on weekends and statutory holidays. The three-hour parking limit Mondays to Fridays would remain in effect. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is urging local residents to go online (at https://s-ca.chkmkt.com/?e=89947 &h=166F2DC43855E35&l=en) and comment on the proposed change by Aug. 22. “I hope that all residents take a moment to share their thoughts on this item as street parking is something that affects all residents in Stittsville,” he said. Residents can also make comments through a phone line at 613-842-3622. After the city-wide survey, a final report on the proposed change will be be tabled at the transportation committee meeting scheduled for Sept. 6.

3 cheers for likable athletes
T
his year’s U.S. Open, arguably the most desired title in golf, was won by Brooks Koepka, a first-time major tournament winner. The tournament was played on a first-time site, the Erin Hills Golf Course in Wisconsin, that was a bleak, treeless, non-traditional layout. But the Koepka win was not the most significant story coming out of that U.S. Open. That has to go to Phil Mickelson, a golfer who wants to win the U.S. Open more than any other tournament after six second-place finishes and the window closing on his competitive golfing years. Phil withdrew from this year’s U.S. Open because his daughter Amanda, as president of her high school class, was to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. It was impossible for Phil to be in two places at one time, and so he opted to withdraw from the U.S. Open and to be at home to hear his daughter speak. It was a similarly heartwarming situation when Smiths Falls golfer Brooke Henderson won the LPGA tournament at the same time as the U.S. Open was being held. To see her
jumping for joy and hugging with her sister and her father after winning that tournament made your heart explode with pride. Here was a still19-year-old golfer who not only is exceptionally talented but who also obviously knows and appreciates the value of family. It is stories like these about Phil and Brooke which make you see athletes in a different light. You admire them because of their human qualities, not just their golfing skills. Eat your heart out, Tiger! Speaking of Brooke, she will be a star attraction at the upcoming Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf tournament at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club from Aug. 21 to 27 later this summer. An estimated 70,000 spectators are expected and Brooke will be the centre of attention, as she should be. She’s not only one of the world’s top golfers already in her young career, but she has shown that she’s the type of person who is human and likable. Arnold Palmer had these traits, and he was known as the “King.” It’s not hard to see Brooke soon being the “Queen.”
Better security, more common sense needed at large festivals
J
ust once, wouldn’t you like to hear this: a festival organizer proclaiming that “This year’s festival is going to be smaller than ever.” Probably not going to happen, right? But you can see the appeal. A Bluesfest for blues lovers, a jazz festival for jazz lovers, a folkfest for folk lovers — no overcrowding, no lineups, no thrill-seekers, just a pleasant, peaceful listening experience under the evening sun. It used to be that way, many years ago, and then it changed. And it may have reached its zenith in the scary events one night at Bluesfest when 200 people had to be treated by paramedics, 10 were taken to hospital, people’s lawns were used as urinals and chaos seemed to reign for a while. Now, everybody knows that the situation at the scene is not always as frightening as the situation that
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town is reported. And nobody will have difficulty agreeing with Bluesfest organizers that 99 per cent of attenders are well-behaved and enjoying the experience. But the one per cent can cause a lot of harm. The Bluesfest people say they have talked it over with police and paramedics and security to figure out how to avoid similar problems in the future. That’s good, because it’s obviously in the festival’s interest, as well as the general public’s, to keep things safe and peaceful. Even if the horrors have been
overemphasized, public perception is important and there is a danger that tourists will stay away and parents will keep their teenagers from attending unless there positive signs of change. When festivals strive for bigness, and succeed, crowds become an issue. Lineups become necessary and, in this day and age, security. That can create problems, as we saw on Canada Day, even when people are not drunk and excitable. If there were no need for lineups, Canada Day would have been a breeze, but creating the Biggest Canada Day Ever also created the necessity for lineups. And we saw what happened.

not a simple matter, some would say it is not an option, to scale back. Too bad, but if we are stuck with the large spectacle mentality then we have to figure out how to make it work. We don’t want neighbourhoods to become unliveable for two weeks. We don’t want potential attendees to be fearful for what might happen. We don’t want anybody to get hurt. The traditional methods, including tighter security at the gates, can be shown to create problems of their own. And better security on the grounds, while it is needed, doesn’t deal with one of the core issues — that some people show up loaded and use the anonymity of a large crowd to let loose in troublesome ways. In a perfect world, the other festivalgoers, the 99 per cent, would police themselves, setting an example and creating an ethic of behaviour that EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Brian Dryden 613-221-6162 brian.dryden@metroland.com

Notice of Completion Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Project File and Functional Design Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and functional design for the proposed expansion and retrofit to the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The project was identified as a preferred alternative in the South Nepean Urban Area Master Servicing and Environmental Study. The existing Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility receives runoff from approximately 200 hectares of predominantly residential lands north of Strandherd Drive, along with a portion of commercial development in the Barrhaven Town Centre. The facility will be expanded and retrofitted to provide enhanced water quality treatment consistent with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements for the existing serviced area as well as the proposed developments adjacent to the facility south of Strandherd Drive. The preferred servicing option for the proposed development lands was also determined as part of this study. A portion of the development lands are to be treated by the expanded facility, while the remaining areas would outlet to the Fraser-Clarke Drain or the Jock River with water quality treatment provided predominantly by hydrodynamic separators. A small new stormwater management pond on the Minto Lands to the west of the existing facility is required to provide stormwater quantity and quality control to existing and future residential areas draining to the Fraser-Clarke Drain. Consultation, in the form of technical advisory committee meetings and two public open houses were incorporated as part of the Class EA process and are documented in the Project File and Functional Design Report.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
July 27, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville Business Improvement Area (BIA) Last week, I met with some Stittsville business owners for an excellent discussion at the information session regarding the potential Stittsville Business Improvement Area (BIA). A BIA is important for the growing business community in Stittsville to have access to the resources which help them to thrive. The session was well attended and some valuable points were brought up by some of the attendees. I would like to thank the steering committee and all potential members who joined to share their insight, particularly Jim Walker for taking the lead as Chair person. A copy of the presentation made at the meeting is available at Shadqadri.com. A number of businesses have volunteered to be part of the Stittsville BIA Steering Committee to engage the discussion in the community and seek input. Now, it is very important that the Steering Committee hears from Stittsville’s business leaders to provide their input. All types of feedback are important and welcomed from every area of our diverse business community. Businesses and commercial property owners are requested to please complete an online survey available at: https://s-ca. chkmkt.com/?e=89367&h=601F5A136DD2158&l=en (English and French surveys both linked at shadqadri.com). Please note that the survey will close on August 4 I strongly support the establishment of a BIA in Stittsville as I see there are many benefits that it would provide and it would be a valuable investment for businesses. All decisions of the BIA would be made by the businesses and it is the businesses that would elect a Board made up of Stittsville businesses. Another meeting is being planned and will hopefully take place later this autumn. More information on that will be shared in my newsletter as it is received. For more information or to provide additional comments please contact myself and the Stittsville BIA Steering Committee at stittsvillebia@gmail.com. If you have specific questions regarding the assessment of your property and potential levy please feel free to contact the City’s Economic Development Officer Brian Simpson at Brian.Simpson@ottawa.ca. Sidewalk Construction on Hazeldean I would like to update residents on the construction of a sidewalk on Hazeldean to take place later this year. The overall project involves the construction of a new 2.0m wide asphalt sidewalk along the north side of Hazeldean Road east of Kittiwake Drive. The new sidewalk will connect to the existing sidewalk at the intersection of Hazeldean Road and Kittiwake Drive at the western limit and the existing sidewalk connection from Abaca Way at the eastern limit. The sidewalk will be located behind the existing shoulder and streetlighting within the existing grass boulevard. Schedule is unknown at this point, but the sidewalk is anticipated to be constructed before the end of 2017. It is noted that while the design is being completed by the City, construction will be undertaken by the Developer of Bulat Court. For the construction of sidewalk, traffic should not be impacted and therefore no long duration lane closures will be required. Pedestrian access and construction site control will be per the City’s latest requirements. I will be certain to provide updates in my weekly newsletter on this project as they become available. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community.

What’s up, doc, around the village of Stittsville?
Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Ontario Doesn’t Need Another Control Board Last week the Premiers from every province gathered to discuss the impending federal legalization of marijuana. Next July, in Ontario marijuana will be a legalized substance to be bought and sold. When the time comes, we will need to have a solid regulatory framework ready to kick in and I wanted to briefly share my thoughts on what that should look like. I believe that we need a free and fair market system to regulate the production, distribution, and licensed sale of cannabis within the province of Ontario. I believe that the free market is the best mechanism to manage this system and we can leave it up to private industry to determine the success or failure of the industry. Creating a new version of the LCBO is not the solution, government monopolies or government sanctioned monopolies have proven ineffective in the past and this is not going to change. An important part of this new system will be keeping marijuana out of the hands of minors and taking power away from organized crime. That is why we need to make sure that any plan that is passed is signed off by the OPP as well as regional police forces. We need to get this right the first time; we cannot afford to saddle ourselves with a system that doesn’t work, we already know what that looks like and it isn’t pretty.

Their new EP includes five alt-pop songs which speak to contemporary LGBTQ concerns. One song, “Pretty Thoughts,” pays homage to LGBTQ trailblazers like Judy Garland and David Bowie. The EP features classic piano melodies
and vocal layering. *The wedding of Jenna Maria Balazic and Anthony Marino DiRienzo was held at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road last Saturday afternoon, July 22, with parish priest Monsignor Joseph Muldoon officiating. Parents of the bride are Betty and John Balazic while parents of the groom are Karen and Marino DiRienzo. Katie MacKinnon was the maid of honour with the bridesmaids being Erika Sunstrum, Allie Laird, Kathryn Buckley and Ashley Woods. Madison Balazic was the junior bridesmaid. Andrew DiRienzo was the best man with the groomsmen being Devin Wagner, Alexandre Midea, Michael Keon and Jordan Hamilton. The flower girl was Veronika Emond while Murray Hallam was the ring bearer. Readers for the wedding ceremony were Linda Bascur and Madison Balazic. The music was provided by Prema Vijayan. *Val and Tony Wright recently donated $2,000 to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville to be used for the Rotary Peace Park in Stittsville. They made the donation in recognition of the fact that they have been in Canada since 1967, so that they are marking their 50th anniversary as residents of Canada at the same time as the country itself is marking its 150th birthday. Val is a former member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville and was an early proponent of establishing a peace park in Stittsville. *William Chapman, a student at Goulbourn Middle School, participated in the Canadian Geographic Challenge in early June, competing against 19 other youth from across Canada. This is the second straight year that William had made it to the national finals of the Canadian Geographic Challenge. William had to beat out hundreds of other students from across Ontario to gain this berth in the national finals. The Canadian Geographic Challenge was in its 22nd year this year with more than 650 schools and more than 22,000 students participating in the competition. These students went through classroom and school testing and then each school champion faced off at the provincial or territorial level. William was one of the top 20 students from across Canada, making it to the national finals. *Michael Goguen’s painting “H2O” and the Shelley Lacroix painting “In Full Bloom” tied for first place in the People’s Choice balloting associated with the Ottawa West Art Association’s “Nature Awakens” exhibition which was on display at the OWAA gallery from May 6 through to July 7. Second place in the balloting went to Sonia Tavares with her work “Spring” while Josie Walsh’s “Warm Blush” was third in the balloting. People’s Choice balloting happens at every art exhibition at the gallery. There’s now a new exhibition on view at the gallery, entitled “Canada – The Land” and People’s Choice ballots are now being collected for it.
Holy Spirit CWL donates $3,200 for hospice SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Catholic Women’s League of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville has donated $3,200 to Hospice Care Ottawa. The funds, which will be used for hospice care at the new Ruddy Shenkman Hospice in Kanata, were raised through the holding of a fashion show by the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall last spring. This fashion show, held on May 6, featured the fashions of designer Judy Joannou of Ashton. A sold-out crowd of over 140 attended the fashion show which also included dessert, hot drinks and door prizes. Judy Joannou Designs has been manufacturing and retailing ladies wear since 1992. She creates clothing that not only reflects her creativity, but also reflects what she believes her customers will like and what will look good on them. The fashion show was held during National Hospice Palliative Care Week (May 1-7). Palliative care addresses the physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical issues related to end-of-life care and treatment. The fashion show was a fun event, says Holy Spirit CWL president Claudette Langdon, adding that “people really, really supported us” at the event. “It’s a cause that speaks to everyone,” she added, noting that helping out hospice care in the area means a lot to many people. She said that the CWL will be holding other fundraising for Hospice Care Ottawa in the future. Some of the funds raised by the annual CWL bazaar in November may be directed to Hospice Care Ottawa. Construction, which began last May, is just about complete on the new Hein House 12-bed residential wing of the Ruddy Shenkman Hospice in Kanata. This 12,592-square-foot addition will allow ten residents to receive 24-hour hospice care and two residents to receive short-term respite care.

It was in June 2013 that Hospice Care Ottawa purchased 110 McCurdy Dr. in Kanata, a 3.6-acre property that was the former site of Trinity Presbyterian Church. A Hospice Ottawa West fundraising campaign led by the Bruyere Foundation raised over six million dollars for the purchase and
renovation of the former church and construction of the new residential wing. It was in 2014 that the facility was named the Ruddy Shenkman Hospice, offering community hospice programs such as day hospice, grief and bereavement groups, caregiver support and volunteer training.

Lions Club members receive awards Many in Richmond, and many others who have passed through over the years, have asked the obvious question about what will happen to the unfinished five storey building near Hyde Park and Richmond Lions Park. The original plan for the Immanuel House failed, unfortunately, and the initial developer went bankrupt. Since then, though, the property has transferred to a new owner, Silver Maple Developments. The City is now in receipt of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning ByLaw Amendment to allow multiple 3 storey residential apartment buildings, a 3 and 5 storey retirement residence and 205 square metres of commercial uses on a private water system. The site was previously approved as Hyde Park with Phase 1 completed as 92 residential townhouses on private roads off of Perth Street and with a private water system. Phase 2A construction is nearly completed and was approved as a three storey 35-unit retirement residence off of Talos Circle and Cedarstone Street. The proposal would see the use change to a 35-unit apartment building. Phase 2B is the partially built 5 storey building with the 3 storey wing. It is proposed to remain a retirement residence. Phase 2 would be serviced with an extension of the private well system and would be accessed off of Cedarstone Street and Talos Circle. Phase 3 would also be serviced with municipal sewer and the private water system and accessing of Talos Circle. It would consist of 8, 3-storey, 14-unit apartment buildings. The amendment to the Official Plan is required as small drinking water systems are only contemplated for institutional uses, such as schools and retirement homes not for residential uses. The amendment to the Richmond Secondary Plan would recognize a land use change from the institutional to residential to permit Phases 2A and 3 to proceed as residential apartments. It would also permit a 5 storey retirement residence and permit the commercial uses. The zoning by-law amendment would rezone Phases 2 and 3 from a Rural Institutional zone to a Village residential density 3 Subzone E exception to permit commercial and amend some of the zone provisions. Specifically, the front yard is proposed to be reduced from 9 to 3 metres, the rear yard from 11 to 10.6 metres, increase the height from 15 to 16 metres, reduce the drive aisles from 6.7 to 6 metres and consider Phases 2 and 3 one lot for zoning purposes. At this time, nothing is being imposed that would impact the existing 92 units in Hyde Park. I will be working with the applicant on hosting a public information session in the fall before this item comes to Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee. If you would like to submit comments on this application, please contact Cheryl.McWilliams@ottawa.ca. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

A Melvin Jones Fellowship, which is the highest individual recognition award presented by Lions, was presented to Stittsville District Lions Club member Al Zoschke. This award is presented to recognize humanitarian service and can be presented both to Lions and nonmembers.

Newman was a lawyer from Toronto who was Lions’ first international president in 1924 as the club expanded beyond the borders of the United States. The first Lions Club in Canada, the Border Cities Lions Club, was founded in Ontario in 1920. This was the same year that Harry A. Newman joined the executive board. After serving in several leadership posts, in 1924 he became the organization’s first international president from outside the United States. The Judge Brian Stevenson Award was presented to Ed Meunier who has been and will continue to be the secretary of the Stittsville club. He is also taking on the role of second vice-president on the new executive. Life Certificates for the Lions Foundation of Canada were presented to members Robert Gregory and Karim Merani.

Lots of reading at Richmond library SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Every Wednesday morning, a family reading adventure program is being held at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library with stories being read in the branch’s backyard. The program will switch to inside the library branch if it rains. Families are invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs for this program if they wish. This family reading adventure program will happen each week until Aug. 23. There are also drop-in fun craft sessions on Friday afternoons throughout the summer at the Richmond branch. This is a family program which will run on Fridays from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. through to Friday, Aug. 25. There will be weekly programs for youth offered at the Richmond branch, with online registration required. On Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., there will be programs for those aged four to six years old. The schedule is as follows: Aug. 1. — Together we are CANADA; Aug. 8 — Red, white, and WOW; and Aug. 15 — Closing party.

For every book read, the reader will receive a piece of LEGO to add to the masterpiece display. There’s also a challenge with the Munster branch of the Ottawa Public Library to see which community can read the most books this summer. The Richmond branch emerged as the winner last year. Who will win this year?

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
“Go Daddy” is a term that these days is most associated with the Internet domain registrar and web hosting company of that name. But, “Go Daddy” had a far different and much more meaningful reference for Jon Maxwell of Stittsville. It was a phrase found on posters of support his children made and held as they cheered him on in the Kingston2Ottawa (K2O) paddling race last weekend. His four children — Poppy, Owen, Sadie and Everlee — joined his wife Christine and his brother Tim in cheering him on at the Newboro Locks, where Jon arrived after two hours, 47 minutes and 15 seconds of paddling his kayak from the starting line in Kingston. Jon, who was competing in the K1 class in this year’s K2O race, was using his participation in this marathon endurance paddling race along the Rideau Canal system as a fundraiser for Upstream Ottawa. Upstream Ottawa is a non-profit organization that provides adults, youth and their families with the communitybased supports and services they need to rebuild lives affected by persistent mental illness. Jon decided to resign from the race at the Newboro Locks. He was one of 22 entries in the 200 kilometre Kingston2Ottawa race, all of whom made it to the Newboro Locks. The donations of support Jon received are going to be worth more than their face value, as the Scotiabank branch in Stittsville has offered to match donations up to a certain amount. Another Stittsville resident who participated in this year’s K2O race was Mark Rhodenizer, a neighbour of Jon. However, Mark participated in the 100 kilometre race starting at Smiths Falls, rather than the 200 kilometre race starting at Kingston. The K2O ultra endurance 200 kilometre marathon paddling race is Ontario’s longest nonstop paddling marathon. The race, which was held on July 22 and July 23 this year, covers the length of the Rideau Canal — starting at the Cataraqui Canoe Club in Kingston to the Corktown foot bridge over the Rideau Canal in Ottawa. Over the course of its length, the route includes large lakes, rivers and canal locks. All types of non-fixed paddle crafts are allowed to participate in this marathon race, which must be completed by participants in 36 hours. This includes canoes, kayaks, voyageur canoes, surf skis and more. Participants can go solo or in teams of two or more. Upstream Ottawa has been a provider of communitybased mental health services since 1985, providing quality client-centred mental health services with a focus on case management. A mental health case management approach provides intensive long-term support for individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, some of whom may be homeless or at risk of homelessness. Scotiabank is a major corporate sponsor of a number of Upstream Ottawa initiatives.

Big Bike coming to Stittsville SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It’s a bike ride with a difference. In fact, a couple of differences. You are riding with a group of others, on not just a bicycle built for two or three, but a bicycle built for 30. Yes, 30.

So, you The Big Bike pulls in front of the Stittsville Retirement Community can make a difference in people’s lives by taking a Big Bike (Villa) by Revera as a group of residents wave during the Big Bike ride ride, raising money through pledges collected. in Stittsville last year. This Big Bike is coming to Stittsville again this summer, with a number of teams set to pedal the bike on a two-and-a-half-kilometre route along Stittsville streets, including Stittsville Main Street. Each team will be out on the route for roughly 20 to 25 minutes, having fun, waving to passersby and getting “horn blasts” of support from passing motorists.

Rotary Club members heard a little about their upcoming Big Bike adventure from Owen Brady, area co-ordinator for Big Bike for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. He visited the club’s meeting on Wednesday, July 19 to tell club members about the Big Bike and answer any questions about it that they might have. Brady told the Rotary members that the Big Bike is a good team-building activity, where everyone has to pedal together to power the Big Bike. He said that it is a healthy event that allows a club, business or organization to be seen in the community, as the Big Bike is powered along on local streets with the name of the club, business or organization on the front. He noted that one in three Canadians are affected by heart disease or stroke, and that funds raised in the Big Bike event go to help fund research that will save lives. Some of this research is being done right at the Ottawa Heart Institute. This Big Bike event in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is happening in Stittsville on Tuesday, Aug. 15, with the teams assembling in the parking lot at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. The event will go ahead rain or shine. Donations can be made at BigBike.ca. This Bike Bike in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is now in its 24th year of raising funds. More than $8 million is raised each year for the Heart and Stroke Foundation thanks to the Big Bike. The funds go to help fund research into heart disease and stroke.

Limited space - Please RSVP now at westottawabot.com
Kathak dancers and choreographers, but also the founder and artistic director of Aroha Fine Arts, a not-forprofit dance organization dedicated to excellence in professional classical Indian dance. ArohaFest is being presented on Aug. 12 and Aug. 13 at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans, running from mid-afternoon through the evening on both days. “There’s going to be something there for everyone,” Patil says, including free participatory workshops, classes and demonstrations about Indian music, dance, yoga and even Bollywood dancing. These will all be free with no registration required. There will also be an art exhibition featuring the work of Indo-Canadian artists and there will even be a food stall set up, featuring food from India. Onstage performances will feature a variety of performers, both Canadian and some from India. These will include Bageshree Vaze, a singer named a “rising star” by MTV India; Sujata Mohapatra, an Odissi dancer; Aishwarya Vijaykumar, a Bharatnatyarn dancer; Mushfiq Hashimi, a musician; and Anjali Patil herself. Patil explains that she wanted to offer this ArohaFest to provide an opportunity for as many as possible to have exposure to all kinds of the arts of India in a friendly, inviting atmosphere. That’s why it’s free and why it’s not only performances, but also workshops and classes. She has also organized the event because this year is Canada’s 150th anniversary year and she feels that this two-day festival is a great way to celebrate the diversity that has become so synonymous with Canada. As a person born in Canada, she feels proud and thankful to be a Canadian. “Canada is a dream come true,” she
says. Indeed, it was Canada’s 150th that inspired Patil to become part of the country’s celebration and organize an event featuring the arts of India in Canada. The result is ArohaFest. For the onstage performances at ArohaFest, seating, while free, has to be reserved. This can be done by going online to the website www.arohafinearts.com/events/ arohafest. Volunteers to help with ArohaFest as well as other events organized by Aroha Fine Arts are always most welcome. This includes high school students looking for volunteer hours. Anyone interested should contact Patil at arohafest2017@gmail.com or by phone at 613-986-5129. Aroha Fine Arts, based in Stittsville, is dedicated to excellence in professional classical Indian dance, specifically Kathak dance. It has presented dance presentations at the Shenkman Arts Centre as well as at the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa and venues in Toronto and internationally in India. Anjali Patil herself trained in India under renowned dance gurus and is known for her traditional and contemporary Kathak dances. She has performed at numerous dance festivals and conferences across Canada as well as in India and the United States. She has been highlighted in India’s leading dance magazine and she was recently awarded the Corel Endowment for the Arts Award by the Ottawa Arts Council.

Horticultural Society visits Jabulani Vineyard and Winery SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
From vine to wine. This is what happens at the Jabulani Vineyard and Winery west of Richmond as discovered by the 22 members and friends of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society who visited the Jabulani site on Jock Trail in Goulbourn on July 22, receiving a tour of the vineyard followed by a wine and cheese tasting. It all began with Jabulani co-owner and winemaker Tom Moul leading the group to a spot in the vineyard adjacent to rows of grape vines to explain about the growing of grapes and how they are harvested and made into wine. Tom, who has been making wine since he was 14 years old in his native South Africa, said that “Jabulani” is a Zulu word meaning “to rejoice.” For Jabulani Vineyard and Winery, it all began in 2006, made possible thanks to cold climate grape vines that were developed by the University of Minnesota. These vines can not only grow in colder climates but are resistant to black rot and mildew, an important feature in areas where the summers are hot and humid such as Ontario. Grape vines like dry and hot conditions, not wet and hot conditions. A disadvantage to these cold climate grape
vines is that they bud late and have a short growing season, so their grapes are high in sugar but also high in acidity. This means that a winemaker has to deacidify them to make good wine from them. Jabulani Vineyard and Winery has won 11 international medals to date for its wines including one gold medal. Jabulani won a silver medal in the All Canadian Wine Championships, beating out a Niagara winery for this silver medal. Moul explained that grape vines like good drainage, which is one of the reasons why the Jabulani site works so well. As he realized when he and his wife Janet decided to establish the vineyard on this site, the land where the grape vines now grow is the highest point between two watercourses — the Jock River on the north and King’s Creek on the south. This ensures good drainage. He explained that this year’s weather had good and bad impacts. There was no frost in May which is good, as frost can freeze the buds on the vines. But the downside of this year’s weather has been all of the rain, which even produced standing water among the rows of vines. Vines don’t like such wet conditions. See NOISE CANNONS, page 29

Noise cannons scare off birds Continued from page 28
He said that the vines are about two weeks behind normal this year because of all of the rain and wet conditions. The 11 acres of grape vines at Jabulani are planted on an angle perpendicular to where the sun sets on Aug. 15. This is important as the sunshine at that time changes the grapes in colour. This change in colour means that sugar is present. It is not only the winemaker who knows this, but also local birds. To prevent the grapes being eaten by birds at this time, Jabulani sets up six noise cannons throughout the vineyard which
go off in random fashion three times every 15 minutes, scaring off the birds. This happens all day long at this mid to late August time of year. When the soil of the site was tested before the vineyard was established, it was sandy loam, which is good for grape vines, but it was found to be lacking boron, which is a nutrient that is essential not only for plants but also for humans in their diet. Plants will not flower if there is no boron in the soil. Jabulani spreads boron-rich fertilizer every year to make up for this deficiency of boron in the native soil. See GRAPES, page 38

Montreuil Jean Edgar (1927 – 2017)
With great sorrow, the family of Jean Montreuil, of Carleton Place and Mississippi Lake, advises that he passed away peacefully at Fairview Manor in Almonte, early Friday morning, July 21, 2017. He was in his 91st year. A loving husband for 66 years, to the late Margery Arthur, and a caring father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he will be sadly missed by his children, their partners and families; John Montreuil (Donna), Michael Montreuil (Brenda), Geoffrey Montreuil, Madelaine Tuttle (Roger), Tom Montreuil (Sharon) and Beth Ellis (Kevan). He took great delight in the lives and exploits of the families of his nine grandchildren – Angie (Dean Vennor), Eireann Montreuil (Dusty), Jamie Montreuil (Shawna) , Alison (Jean Francois Gallant), Victoria Tuttle (David Hallam), Stephen Tuttle (Libby), Shannon Tuttle (Jesse Smith), Cody Montreuil, Hannah Ellis (Matthew). He will be remembered and sorely missed by his great-grandchildren – Corbin, Gavin and Paige Vennor, Makenna Whetung, Myriam, Emma, Amy, Charlotte and Gabriella Gallant, Levi Smith as well as his nieces and nephews. Jean shared many adventures with his brother, Robert Montreuil (Lydia) and was predeceased by his sister, Marcelle Blanchette (Arthur). He enjoyed the company of his in-laws, Don and June Arthur of Stittsville and Joan Frappier of Temagami and was predeceased by Ian Frappier (Joan) and Jose and Elaine Holmes of Ottawa. Born in Plessisville, QC on March 26, 1927, to Antoine and Mariette Montreuil, Jean enjoyed a full and adventurous life growing up in the Westboro area of Ottawa. He truly enjoyed his time with family close by, in Carleton Place and at the summer home, on Mississippi Lake, including cooking, fishing, ‘card’ games and cottage building. He began his varied career as an insurance adjuster and enjoyed employment with Rockwell International Ltd., Leigh Instruments Ltd., Employment and Immigration Canada and pursued his entrepreneurial spirit in a variety of endeavors throughout the years. Jean was proud to serve his community in many ways. He was the Chairman of the local chapter of the National Film Board, served four terms on the Lanark County School Board and was Chair of the School Board for two terms, in 1976 and 1979, he served as Commodore of the Carleton Place Canoe Club and was a Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed family expeditions to Canada’s East Coast and Maine, USA as well as his international travels with Margery. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Susie Quackenbush, Pam Murphy and the nursing staff of the AGH – Fairview Manor for their continual care and compassion. Funeral service will be held at the Barker Funeral Home, Carleton Place, with a visitation at 11:00 a.m, followed by the Service at 1:00 p.m., on Wednesday, July 26th, 2017. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Arthritis Society, in memory of Jean. www.barkerfh.com

Preserving time on the farm left lots of good memories
J
ust walking past the kitchen door from the outside, you could tell what was going on inside by the sweet smells coming out through the screen. It was preserving time again. It was a sweet smell, and I thought the best place for me to be was out in the swing in the grape arbour. It was because preserving time made the place unbearably hot from the steam coming from the boiling pots on the stove. That day, raspberries were being ‘put down’. The berries simmered gently towards the back of the Findlay Oval, and right on the front burner Mother had sealers of every shape and size boiling in the biggest granite pot we owned. The fire had been started by Father before he headed for the barns, and you could feel the heat from every corner of the kitchen. It didn’t take me long to eat my breakfast and head outside. My poor sister Audrey wasn’t so lucky. She was in the stifling kitchen measuring out sugar, making sure there were lids to match the sealers in the boiling pot, and setting out cookie sheets which would hold the bottled
MARY COOK Memories preserves until they were ready to move to the swinging shelf in the cellar. I had watched the preserving many times, but always from a distance.. Some jars were what I called ‘store bought’, while others had once held pickles or relishes, or even berries put down the year before. I had everything timed perfectly. I could hear, from the opened window looking out into the grape arbour, that Audrey was lifting the jars out of the boiling water and putting them on the cookie sheets. And I knew everything
would be in the final stages of preserving, and it would be safe to go into the kitchen again. It amazed me how quickly the steam disappeared once the boiling stopped, and the breeze from the open window cooled everything down. Of course, it was still very early in the morning, and the sun was yet to move high into the sky. Soon it would be stifling hot outside, and putting down preserves was well planned to avoid as much as possible the heat of the day. When I peeked in the door, I could see my sister ladling the berries from the big pot into the jars on the kitchen table. And then I saw Mother, with a long fork, pick the lids from the steaming water, and gingerly seal each jar tight. Of course, it was impossible to hit the jar dead on each time, and there was always a bit of preserves running down the outside of a sealer. And so each one had to wiped clean with a wet string dishcloth. And I marveled how Audrey or Mother could handle those hot jars as if they had been cooled in the icebox! There were always some of the boiled berries that were not put in sealers, because Father would be expect-
ing a fruit nappy for his dinner. The jars were allowed to cool completely before Audrey moved them to the cellar. There they would join whatever preserves left over from last year, and the pickles and relishes already ‘done down’ earlier. It took a long time for the sweet smell to leave the kitchen. The Findlay Oval would be allowed to cool down completely after dinner at noon hour, a meal, which would come right out of the oven, since the top of the stove was taken over by the boiling berries and jars. Sometime during the day I would go down into the cellar through the outside door, and marvel at what was before me. And I knew if there was nothing else to eat during the coming winter, there would be lots of preserves, pickles and relishes to keep us from starving. The thought warmed me right through.

Grapes at Jabulani are harvested by hand Continued from page 29
Jabulani Vineyard and Winery produces 22 to 25 tonnes of grapes each year, which allows the winery to produce about 24,000 bottles of wine annually. Jabulani wine is not found in the LCBO or in restaurants because of the substantial taxes which would apply. Jabulani sells all of its wine from its Jock Trail site. Jabulani vines are prepared for the coming season on the first Saturday of June when about 30 volunteer friends show up to help prepare the vines and get ready for the growing season. During the course of the season, two full-time staff
members plus another staff member who works one day a week cut the grass between the rows of vines and otherwise maintain the vineyard. The harvest happens in mid-September when, again, about 30 volunteer friends spend three days at the vineyard harvesting all of the grapes by hand. The grapes are then crushed, not in the old fashioned way with feet but with a “crusher destemmer” that does the job. The grape vines are pruned from April through to the end of June. Depending on the harshness of the winter, the vines are either pruned quite severely, leaving only six to eight
buds, or are pruned more leniently. After learning all about viticulture in the vineyard, the horticultural society group retreated to the wine tasting area where they got to taste not only a number of wines produced by Jabulani but also taste cheese, some of which is made at Jabulani as Tom Moul is also a cheesemaker. Information sheets explaining how to taste wine and about the various wines being tasted were made available. In addition, Moul explained about the proper way to taste and drink wine. In the course of this wine tasting, he also told
about the Christmas-time activity at Jabulani which involves two weekends where there is wine tasting, music and the roasting of chestnuts over an open fire. Donations for the Richmond Food Bank are accepted during these two weekends, usually amounting to about four tonnes of food items. Moul also explained about the cheese school which he operates in June and October each year, where he demonstrates how to turn milk into cheese. Those who attend these cheesemaking classes usually go away knowing how to make cheese themselves.

Birthday and farewell celebration for Pat Dalphy SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It was a well-kept secret, perhaps one of Stittsville’s best ever. As a result, Pat Dalphy was totally, utterly surprised when she arrived at St. Thomas Anglican Church on Saturday afternoon, July 22, to deliver what she thought was a necessary key for the premises. Instead, she found a basement hall full of family and friends, all there not only to wish her a happy 80th birthday, but also to wish her
a fond farewell as she is moving to Arnprior this month. Word had been circulated around the congregation and community about this event, with the admonition that it was going to be a “surprise” for Pat. Well, everyone kept the secret because, as she admitted, she had absolutely no clue that such an event in her honour was being planned. She had thought that she was going to be going with family to have
a photo taken when she got a call that a key was needed at the church. So she was stopping by there to drop it off. Just after 2 p.m., the 75 people assembled in the parish hall became silent as word came that Pat was arriving at the building. They expected her to enter via the front door, but she came in by the back door. However, whether by front or back door, it was all a surprise to her, as she initially stood by the doorway, awestruck by the surprise gathering. Upon her entry in the hall, those assembled burst into a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” after which she was presented with an 80th birthday sash and, later, a birthday hat. Balloons and decorations about her 80th
birthday were on display around the hall. A giant birthday card and a “thank you” card were available for signing. One card included a replica church bulletin which had Pat performing all of the roles in the liturgy and also had her as the contact person for all of the announced church activities such as the Anglican Church Women meeting, the Altar Guild meeting, the Open Table community dinner, helping in the nursery during the service, helping at the Shepherds of Good Hope kitchen and providing transportation. This was all in recognition for the work that Pat has done at the church over time, including years on parish council, service as the people’s warden for four years
and leadership with the Anglican Church Women. Upon entering the hall and being serenaded with “Happy Birthday,” Pat visited many of the tables set up around the hall’s exterior, chatting with those at the table, with lots of hugs all around. She then was called upon to introduce the members of her family who were present, ranging from her daughter Susan and her son John to her grandchildren. The celebration included a tea table where tea and coffee were served. There was also a long stretch of tables in the middle of the hall filled with sandwiches and other goodies. There was also a birthday cake in the centre of this lengthy stretch of tables.

7 Tips for Entrepreneurs Congratulations and thank you to all the entrepreneurs among us. You are the backbone of our economy. Corporations are consistently seeking employees that have the very spirit that motivates one to become a business owner; self-driven, innovative and committed to results. Over my years of working with business I have gleaned some of the most common traits from the most successful ones. These traits also work in any aspect of your life. VISION. If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. Create a clear picture of where you wish to be then write it down and keep it in front of you every day. Automatically, your thoughts and actions will move you toward your goal. What is at the forefront of your mind will determine your actions. Also, it makes it easy for others to support you. The universe will conspire to get you want you want. BE PASSIONATE. If you love what you do you will attract the right people to get you to your goals. How does one create passion? Know your why. Create a clear understanding of what difference you and your business make in the world. The what and the how of your business will not inspire you or others. However, if you can make the connection between what you do on a daily basis and it ultimately will serve others then you will never work another day in your life. WORK SMART. There is a big difference between working hard and working smart. Time is your most precious resource, invest it wisely. When you embark on any activity; taking a meeting, attending an event, engaging in social media or anything you spend time on, set your intention before you start and then ask if it is a good use of your time. Another key component of working smart is spending time working on your business as well as in your business. Planning your work will keep you true to your ultimate goals and keep you from becoming easily prioritizing work that is urgent instead of important. Use this 3 step plan for working smart; 1. Set your goals, 2. Create systems and automation in your business and 3. Focus on your your strengths and outsource the rest. LEARN. The commitment to ongoing learning (and hence change) has become the great separator in our society. Be committed to learn what is going on, how to improve your skills and how to be better. We are living in a time of unprecedented innovation and opportunities abound. Technology and culture have given us access to endless learning. And your business will only grow to the extent you grow. Collaboration, communication and coaching are the trend and becoming critical to business growth. Internally, work on building a resilient mindset, strong habits and specialized skills. Externally, stay on top of the leading innovation and recognizing new opportunities. What will distinguish you from many others? Billionaire, Warren Buffet claims the number one skill to learn is public speaking. Tune in next month for the final 3 tips and an inspirational story… thank you to our business community for your continued support of our advocacy and economic development work.
Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | Executive Director West Ottawa Board of Trade | www.westottawabot.com The West Ottawa Board of Trade is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business association, independently driven and funded by business members.

The plowing match has been held at the Brophy farm in the past, as well as at other Richmond and Goulbourn sites. In 2014, for instance, it was held at Jockbrae Farm in the Munster area. Things will get underway with an opening ceremony on Friday, Aug. 25 at 10 a.m., followed by a VIP plowing competition at 11 a.m. VIP plowers will include local politicians, as well as members of the local media. The VIP plowing competition will be followed by a light lunch and awards ceremony. This will be followed by a plowing workshop from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., which is open to members of the public. Coaches and equipment will be available to allow all workshop participants to learn about the art of plowing. The actual plowing match will take place, rain or shine, on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. Competitors from across Ottawa Carleton will be plowing against one another, trying to gain a spot to plow at the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo in Huron County in September. Plowers must plow at local matches such as this Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association event in order to be able to compete at the International Plowing Match. Both modern and vintage tractors, as well as horses, will be used in the plowing. A local Queen of the Furrow chosen at this Ottawa Carleton plowing match will go on to represent the region at the International Plowing Match, where the Ontario Queen of the Furrow is crowned. Each local Plowmen’s Association, such as the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association, selects a local queen. The selection process involves an interview, plowing a parcel of land and giving a speech. Contestants in local Queen of the Furrow competitions are between the ages of 16 and 24, and must be knowledgeable about agriculture, plowing, food production and environmental issues. Taylor Brophy of Richmond was the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s Queen of the Furrow for 2014. In addition, this year’s Ottawa Carleton plowing match will include displays, vendors and farm equipment set up at the site.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
In recent years the law concerning individual entitlements to insurance benefits has evolved significantly, particularly with respect to accident benefits claims arising from motor vehicle accidents. Ontario is a partial no-fault accident jurisdiction. Simply put, you cannot claim for all types of damages including pain and suffering if you are injured in a car accident due to another persons’ negligence. Such claims require that you have suffered serious and permanent injury. However, all Ontario insured motorists have a mandatory accident benefits policy. This means, regardless of who is at fault, those injured in a motor vehicle accident are entitled to some compensation for lost wages and funding of rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy and massage therapy as needed. In 2010, and then again in 2016 the regulations concerning the entitlement to those benefits have changed significantly, making it more difficult for some to access the rehabilitation services they require. In my experience people are needing the assistance of lawyers to compel insurers to meet their obligations. As a result, injured people often wait many months to access therapies they need pending determination of entitlements by the Licence Appeal Tribunal, the administrative body which adjudicates disputes. It is possible to lessen the wait time by engaging counsel at an early stage following injury. At Allan Snelling LLP we routinely act for people injured in an accident, with a view to securing their entitlements to Accident Benefits. I often meet with people to explain their rights after an injury occurs, with no charge and no obligation on the part of the client. Given the complexity of the law and the prejudice which often arises due to significant delay, I recommend that anyone who has suffered injury or loss as a result of another’s’ negligence seek out a consultation with a lawyer. It is the prudent thing to do.
About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction. We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.
