A car wash fundrasier is the latest effort to raise the funds for Lamitta El-Roz to undergo a surgical procedure in the United States that would allow the young Stittsville resident to walk. Lamitta is unable to walk due to cerebral palsy as a result of brain damage at birth. However, she has been identified as a candidate for life-changing surgery not available in Canada that has been medically proven to help children with similar disabilities to be able to walk. The cost of this surgery is more than $100,000, which is why a GoFundMe campaign and other fundraising efforts have been underway in Stittsville and surounding areas. The latest fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 26, at the D`arcy McGee’s at 655 Terry Fox Dr. A car wash fundrasier will be held between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. where funds raised will go to support the Lamitta’s Wish campaign. The selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery is an expensive procedure which costs upwards of $130,000. Lamitta’s surgery is scheduled for this September. The procedure will require Lamitta and her family to be in St. Louis in the United States for four weeks, which would be followed by six months of intensive physiotherapy sessions back at home.

Time to let future Hot cakes and hot topics residents know what Stittsville was like in 2017 Stittsville Coun.

Residents of Stittsville are being invited to share their ideas over what should go into a time capsule that is being put together as part of Canada 150 celebrations this year, with a target date of 2067 as when the time capsule will be openned during Canada’s 200th birthday year. The idea for such a time capsule was raised by Mayor Jim Watson during his state of the city address back in January, and the deadline for gathering stuff to put in the time capsule is fast approaching in September.

“This is an incredible opportunity to give our next generation a glimpse into Stittsville as it is today.” COUN. SHAD QADRI

Each of Ottawa’s 23 municipal wards are being asked to contribute a memento that is iconic to their communities for the project. “This is an incredible opportunity to give our next generation a glimpse into Stittsville as it is today. What a thrill it will be for someone to open a time capsule 50 years from now and experience just what our daily lives look like,” Coun. Shad Qadri said. “Better still, imagine the nostalgia on our children`s faces when they are reminded in 50 years of their youth,” he added. Qadri is asking local residents to make suggestions of what Stittsville’s contribution to the project should be. “The memento should be unique and memorable and reflective of Stittsville,” he said, adding ideas must be submitted to his office by Sept. 22. Items need to be submitted to the city’s archivist by a Sept. 29 deadline. As well, items must be able to fit into the capsule. Qadri will not be making the final decision on what will go into the time capsule to represent Stittsville, but he said he’s eager to get resident feedback and learn what residents think should represent Stittsville. All submission ideas should be sent to the councillor at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. He also suggests that those suggestions include an image of the recommended artifact.

Murray recorded 620 wins during his head coaching career, placing him 12th on the NHL’s all-time list. “Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known, and also a great father, mentor and teacher,” said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk in a statement. “We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Geri, daughters, Heide and Brittany and the entire Murray family on their loss.” In 2014, Murray announced that he had stage 4 colon cancer that spread to his liver and lungs. Despite his health situation, Murray continued working as GM until Pierre Dorion was brought in and he was given an advisory role with the team. Even when the Senators were deep into the playoffs, Murray was in the team box cheering every goal and good play.

“Bryan Murray’s strength and character were reflected in the teams he coached and the teams he built over decades of front office excellence.” NHL COMMISSIONER GARY BETTMAN

Murray began his coaching career with the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Junior Hockey League. He was then offered a head-coaching post with the WHL’s Regina Pats. After winning a Memorial Cup with the Pats in 1980, he was offered a job with the Hershey Bears of the AHL before becoming the head coach of the Washington Capitals in 1980. Murray’s three decades in the league is one of the longest tenures of anyone in the NHL, and he has left his mark on many people and players around the NHL as well as other organizations in Ottawa. “Bryan Murray’s strength and character were reflected in the teams he coached and the teams he built over decades of front office excellence,” NHL commissioner Gary Bet-

BRYAN MURRAY tman said in a statement. “While his warmth and dry sense of humor were always evident, they were accompanied by the fiery competitiveness and determination that were his trademarks,” he said. “As we mourn Bryan’s passing, we celebrate his many contributions to the game – as well as his courage. The National Hockey League family sends our deepest condolences, comfort and support to Bryan’s family, his many friends and all whose lives he influenced.” The Ottawa Redblacks and the Ottawa 67’s also expressed their condolences on Twitter. Murray is survived by his wife Geri and his two daughters Heide and Brittany. The Ottawa Senators will be holding a celebration of life at the Canadian Tire Centre on August 24 at 1 p.m. that will be open to the public. All guests are asked to enter the CTC via Gates 1 and 2. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Shawville Recreation Association, DEBRA Canada (in honour of Jonathan Pitre), Jardins Éducatif du Pontiac or the charity of your choice.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A tarmac travesty T

ake 300-plus people, stick them in a tube for seven hours, turn up the temperature and then keep them confined for another six hours. It’s a recipe for unhappy customers. An Air Transat flight stuck on Ottawa airport’s tarmac for six hours on a steamy July 31 was a travelling travesty. The plane was diverted to Ottawa from Montreal due to storms. There was a stormy atmosphere inside the plane too after passengers waited and waited to take off for Montreal. It’s not entirely clear what caused the lack of service to the plane – fuel and water. The airline – which has received a serious black eye from all the horror stories shared by passengers – and the airport have traded accusations about what services were offered to the Air Transat flight, and what services were declined. All we can be sure of is that a seven-hour flight ended up being about double that time, and that the stay in Ottawa was brutal due to lack of air conditioning on a hot day.

Hopefully a Canadian Transportation Agency investigation will get to the bottom of it. It shouldn’t have happened but it did. But job one is to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In May, the federal government introduced legislation to create a passenger bill of rights. The goal is to make sure travellers know the service levels to which they are entitled, and provide compensation if travel arrangements are disrupted by events within the airline’s control. It’s a fair request of air carriers. In fact, common sense says Canadian travellers should have been protected by such measures a generation ago. Maybe it’s a sign of poor quality across the board that Canadians need to spell out such minimums of service in a federal law. A new passenger bill of rights should be passed quickly and it should be enforced. Every political party should be on board with better protections for captive airline passengers.

Football is not the leader in concussion stats

n a recent column for the American Press, author Paul Newberry predicted the demise of American football. His argument centred on concussion statistics, citing a University of Boston study that found of 202 former professional football players, nearly all had a brain disease resulting from blows to the head. It’s a neatly, cherry-picked stat that Newberry uses to make football out to be a “gladiatorial sport”, which he argues has no place in modern society. Three years ago, my eldest started playing football. I was pretty uncomfortable with the idea. Watching a bunch of seven-to-10-year-olds engage in this wild and violent behaviour often left me feeling nervous. Relatives have frequently questioned why I allow my son to continue in such a violent sport.

But is football the most dangerous sport in America, as Newberry would like us to believe? The short answer is no. In 2015, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study Capital Muse examining concussion risk among athletes per 1,000 minutes of athletic exposure (AE). The research included At the same time, I watched my son a review of 23 international studies on thrive in team sport for the first time, concussions in sports. The average risk of head injuries across all sports was rapidly gaining confidence he never had in hockey, volleyball or soccer. He 0.23 injuries per 1,000 minutes of AE.

Laura Bond and two sons help build classroom SchoolBOX project in Nicaragua helps make education possible for children in community BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

North American skin care company Rodan + Fields has played a role in a Stittsville resident and her family making education possible in a community in Nicaragua. Laura Bond of Stittsville, who teaches at Westwind Public School, has recently returned from a nine-day trip to Nicaragua where she and her two sons, Owen and Travis, participated in a SchoolBOX project helping to construct a classroom there. The whole story was told at a SchoolBOX fundraiser which Laura held at Quitters coffee shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Aug. 9. At this fundraiser, Laura explained that her involvement with SchoolBOX and its education initiatives in Nicaragua would not be possible without Rodan + Fields. She’s a part-time Rodan + Fields skin care consultant and it’s the money that she earns selling Rodan + Fields products that have allowed her to be involved with SchoolBOX. She knew that she wanted to give back to some cause. Although as a teacher she is passionate about edu-

cation, she did not know what form her giving back would take. She then ran into a friend who talked about SchoolBOX, the Almonte-based organization that has been encouraging education in Nicaragua for ten years now by building classrooms, creating mini-libraries and distributing notebooks. Becoming a Rodan + Fields consultant gave her the opportunity to earn enough money to afford the trip for her and her sons to Nicaragua to take part in a SchoolBOX classroom build. Those participating in such trips not only pay for their own travel and accommodation but contribute $500 to the project as well as their sweat equity in taking part in the actual build. Five out of the nine days of the trip saw Laura and her sons working at the site of the project. She explained that those on the build could work at their own pace. Their task was to help erect the walls of the classroom, working alongside the permanent SchoolBOX construction crew along with community members. SchoolBOX undertakes its projects in co-operation with a local community as well as with the Nicaraguan Ministry of Education and community officials. This ensures community

buy-in for the project. Laura said that the experience was life changing for her two sons, although she admitted that they tended to work less and less as the week went on, preferring instead to spend time with the local children. She noted that SchoolBOX also mixes in sightseeing with its build project, giving participants like her and her sons a tourism experience as well as a build experience. It takes SchoolBOX about four weeks to build a classroom. The first visiting group helps break ground and start the project. The second group visiting helps the walls go up which is what Laura and her sons got to do. A third group visiting a project helps finish it up. All the while, a crew of Nicaragua workers is on-site, supervising the work and carrying out tasks when visiting helpers are not there. “We do the ‘joe jobs’ that would slow them down,” Laura said in explaining how the visiting workers help the permanent crew in constructing a classroom project. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere. In the past ten years, SchoolBOX has built 83 classrooms, started 54 minilibraries and distributed 476,631 note-

books. The mini-libraries are important because those in Nicaragua do not have their own books. In addition, SchoolBOX is involved in reading days in which people visit schools to read stories to youngsters to get them familiar with reading. Also at the fundraiser was Marianne Graham of Stittsville who has made two trips with SchoolBOX to Nicaragua. She had Nicaraguan shakers (rattles) on hand which she was selling for $5 each to be able to help out even more in Nicaragua. Also at the fundraiser was Matt Smart of Richmond who is also involved with SchoolBOX and currently is raising the $24,000 needed to build a classroom in Nicaragua. He has been on SchoolBOX trips to Nicaragua. Another at the fundraiser was Michelle Kay, a former acting executive director of SchoolBOX who has been to Nicaragua eight times since 2007. Quitters Coffee helped out with this fundraiser, not only providing the location but also donating $1 from the sale of refreshments that evening. It was pointed out at the fundraiser that going on such a SchoolBOX trip is more beneficial than just donating the cost of the trip to SchoolBOX

because it allows a person to share in the experience of building a classroom with the local community members, getting to know them and getting to appreciate their desire for education. A 50/50 draw was held at the fundraiser and a slide show accompanied Laura’s explanation of her recent SchoolBOX trip with her sons. SchoolBOX, founded in 2006 and based in Almonte, has the goal of making education possible for all children in Nicaragua and throughout the world. Building schools and mini-libraries and providing children with basic school supplies like note books is how SchoolBOX is trying to make an impact in Nicaragua. SchoolBOX has now another program, its Indigenous Youth Empowering Students program, through which it is helping to build a library in the northwestern Ontario community of Wabauskang First Nation. This is the first time that SchoolBOX is working directing with Indigenous leaders on a project in Canada. The library will mark the first time that the Wabauskang community will have direct access to books and educational resources right on the First Nation’s land.

Entries wanted for heritage photo contest In this very column a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that the City of Ottawa had received an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment to amend the Official Plan, Richmond Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law to allow 3 storey residential apartment buildings, 3 and 5 storey 124 unit retirement residence and 205 square metres of commercial uses all on a small private water works. The need for the amendments is due to the private water works, rather than the actual buildings.

The City will be putting out a formal notice of this meeting in early September but I wanted to give a heads up well in advance.

buffet style as customers and their dogs sit around, chatting and enjoying Bea’s hospitality. This is Bea’s way of showing her appreciation to her customers for their ongoing support and patronage of Benji’s Place. She appreciates all that her customers have done for her and shows her thanks by hosting this annual party. Bea McDaniels herself is a real success story. She grew up in Massachusetts and came to Canada with two suitcases and $200 in her pocket. She settled first in Montreal and eventually immigrated to Ottawa where she operated a floral design shop. Always a dog lover, she ended up taking an extensive dog grooming course and in 1996 she opened Benji’s Place in Stittsville, taking the name from the canine superstar Benji created by author Joe Camp. Benji’s Place was originally located on Stittsville Main Street in premises now occupied by Quitters coffee shop. The shop then relocated to premises in the former MacDougall Sales and Service building on the west side of Stittsville Main Street at Hill Street, almost across from the Stittsville Legion Hall. This was followed by a move to the current premises on the east side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Orville Street.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

Bea McDaniels of Benji’s Place dog grooming studio in Stittsville thanks her customers for their loyalty and support by hosting an annual get-together not only for her customers but also for their dogs the first weekend in August. This year the event was held Sunday, Aug. 6 rather than on the traditional Saturday due to weather concerns. And again this year there was lots to eat at this barbecue party, both for the customers and for their dogs. Christine at Sobeys at Terry Fox Drive once again this year put her heart and soul into preparing the food for the event, something that she has been doing for Bea since 2001. This year an anonymous donation was received from a customer to help with the cost of the food. Bea got the news of this generosity by a customer when she went to pick up the food at Sobeys. And what food! There were devilled eggs, potato salad, pulled pork, ribs, lemon chicken and a Chinese vegetable mix. For dessert, there were coconut, lemon and tiramisu cakes, three kinds of cupcakes decorated with doggie rings, cream puffs and ice cream and even popsicles. But the dogs were not forgotten either. While they cannot eat people food, they were treated to cooked chicken and kibble plus many dog treats. This annual event not only allows Bea to thank her customers for their support and loyalty but also gives her an opportunity to spend time with her beloved dogs all at one time. And the dogs all love Bea and happily attend the event with their owners. Indeed, Bea always says that “dog spelt backwards is God” and that shows how much she loves and admires her four-legged friends. Ever since 2001, Benji’s Place owner Bea McDaniels has hosted this annual daytime party for her customers and their dogs in the backyard of her Stittsville home. The food is set out

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed City of Ottawa Time Capsule – Recommendations Requested! Dear Residents, it is my pleasure to share with you an exciting initiative. As mentioned in Mayor Watson’s State of the City address in January of this year, the City of Ottawa will be organizing a time capsule in celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial anniversary. Each of Ottawa’s 23 wards will contribute a memento that is truly iconic of our communities to only be opened again in 2067 (Canada’s 200th anniversary). This is an incredible opportunity to give our next generation a glimpse into Stittsville as it is today. What a thrill it will be for someone to open a time capsule 50 years from now and experience just what our daily lives look like. Better still, imagine the nostalgia on our children`s faces when they are reminded in 50 years of their youth! I would like to take this moment to invite all residents to share with me their ideas for what they believe Stittsville’s contribution to the time capsule should be. The memento should be unique and memorable and reflective of Stittsville. All items must be submitted to my office no later than September 22nd so that they may be presented to the City Archivist for the September 29th deadline. Items must also be able to fit in the capsule which is 24” wide x 36” high x 11” deep. Some ideas for items include: • medals and commemorative coins • documents and other publications on quality paper • black-and-white photographic prints • Cotton and polyester textiles

As time does wear on all things, please be conscientious of best practises of what may be included safely. For a full list of things to keep in mind when choosing an item, please visit ShadQadri. com. I highly encourage everyone to share some of their ideas for what represents our community as it stands today. Although I will not be the final decision-maker for this venture, I am excited to hear just what our residents feels represents the incredible sense of community and family existent within Stittsville. All submission ideas should be sent to me at Shad.Qadri@ ottawa.ca. If possible, include an image of your recommended artifact. I look forward to all resident’s suggestions and cannot wait to share the selected item following the September 22nd deadline. Thank you. Zoning By-law Amendment Proposal for 5615 Fernbank On Tuesday, August 22nd, the City`s Planning Committee will be considering a Zoning By-law amendment proposal for Zoning 5615 Fernbank Road (formerly known as 5786 Fernbank Road) to permit a residential subdivision with school site, Emergency Services facility and transit station.

It is bounded by Fernbank Road to the south, Cope Drive to the north, Robert Grant Avenue to the west and vacant land to the east that will be developed as future phases of the Blackstone subdivision The lands form the fourth and final phase of the Fernbank Crossing subdivision. The Fernbank Crossing subdivision received draft approval on February 2, 2012, and previous phases have been registered, with the third phase of development currently under construction.

This may sound well and good, but we have had serious problems with this technology in the past. And the Liberals are ignoring two other factors. Firstly, cameras such as these have, in certain studies, been found to hamper not improve safety on roads. And secondly, as the OPP will tell you, speeding is not a major problem, distracted driving is what causes most accidents and deaths on Ontario roads.

Can music help in studying? Do you usually listen to music while you study? If so,

you’ll be pleased to learn that it’s actually a healthy habit that may help improve concentration and lead to better grades. However, this doesn’t mean you should listen to whatever you want, whenever you want. Most specialists recommend listening to soothing instrumental music for increased learning. Classical music is particularly effective at creating a study environment for tasks that involve logic, planning and critical thinking; Mozart’s famed piano concertos and Beethoven’s Für Elise, for instance, are excellent choices for revising mathematical equations. The same goes for the baroque sounds of Vivaldi or Pachelbel, which are also known to help students achieve the mindset needed for scientific thought. In contrast, when it’s time to express your artistic side, jazz and rock music might help get your creative juices flowing. For those who are studying literature, a new language or social sciences, pop music works like a charm. Finally, if you’re feeling unmotivated or have a short attention span, take a quick break every once in a while and gather your thoughts to a disco, reggae or country rhythm. Some studies suggest that listening to music is beneficial for relaxation, learning and memory. But music is a subjective art whose effects aren’t universal.

Eating well, exercising often and getting enough sleep are healthy lifestyle habits that help youngsters achieve greater academic success.

Walking to school is great for exercise but must be safe Walking to and from school is an excellent way for your child to get their daily dose of exercise. But to ensure they arrive at their final destination safe and sound, it’s important they abide by certain safety rules at all times! Start by identifying the safest route and locate danger zones — like railroads or busy streets — along the way. Make sure the route follows school-approved walkways and intersections with a crossing guard on duty. Once established, travel the planned route with your child a few

times before school starts, emphasizing the following safety guidelines along the way: • Always walk on the sidewalk (or, in the absence of one, stick to the outside of the left lane, facing traffic). • Cross the street at supervised intersections. If you arrive at a pedestrian crossing that doesn’t have a crossing guard on duty, always look to your left, then to

your right, and then to your left again before moving forward. • Always adhere to the traffic signals and pedestrian lights. • Don’t stray from the approved route or dilly-dally along the way. • Never get into a stranger’s vehicle. If possible, encourage your child to always walk with a friend — provided, of

course, that this friend also keeps safety in mind! Finally, prompt your child to leave early to avoid having to run (and risk getting hurt!) to make it to school on time. Does the thought of your child travelling alone make you nervous beyond belief ? Don’t hesitate to accompany them or meet them after school until you both feel more comfortable with the situation.

Daniel Jedzura

Identify the safest route to school and try it out several times with your child before letting them undertake the journey alone.

Too many activities is not good Parents always want the best for their children. But sometimes we do too much for them, such as enrolling them in too many extra-curricular activities. When we do that, we deprive them of the creativity that comes from free time and the relationship building that comes from just being together. It’s normal to want children to nurture a passion outside the classroom, and to learn self-discipline and focus; those are all good reasons to sign them up for classes in riding, karate, or guitar. Getting them involved in more than a couple of activities per week, however, can become a source of tension and stress in the home. Beyond logistical and time demands, it can also seriously cut into relaxed family time and edge out creative play. It causes stress in children when their activities become oriented towards performance and achievement. It’s important to leave room for unstructured play that is unsupervised by adults. It might mean a shift of perspective for many, but “free” play is not a waste of time. On the contrary, it can help children learn to manage their time according to their own rules and to develop their creativity. On the afternoons and evenings when no extracurricular sports or artistic activities are on the menu, family meals can regain their rightful place in the schedule. It is Jupiterimages the perfect time to gather, share the highlights of the day, and build the loving relationships that are so beneficial to A good balance between school, our children.

erans and non-veterans. Of the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 450 long-term care beds, 250 of them are allocated for veterans while the rest are open to those from the community. The facility also has 139 specially designed seniors apartments for both independent and assisted living. These residents have access to all of the programs and facilities at the site including its recreation, physiotherapy and other programs. Along with a 12-bedroom respite guest house and other programs, there are 700 seniors living on the Perley/ Rideau site. And they receive top-notch care. Foundation Board member Colonel Dominic McAlea, a now-retired Canadian Forces lawyer who served

at NATO Headquarters in Brussels from 2011 to 2014 and was deployed in Kabul in Afghanistan in 2014 and 2015, told the Rotary Club members that the Perley/Rideau provides the best care for aged Canadians that he has ever seen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Perley is the place to go to live,â&#x20AC;? he says, praising the care received and the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership in providing frailty informed care for seniors. This means looking at the big picture when assessing the needs of a resident of the facility and then providing the appropriate care. He attributed part of the reason for this high level of care for residents to the efforts of the 450 volunteers whose efforts allow the facility to run as well as it does. A challenge for the Perley/Rideau is the government funding for the facility. The funding applying to the 250 beds for veterans applies only to Second World War veterans and Korean War veterans up to a certain date. However, the Perley/Rideau has received a commitment from Veterans Affairs that there will be funding provided for 25 beds to accommodate the next generation of veterans beyond the Second World War and the Korean War. The Perley/Rideau also reserves 20 to 30 per cent of its seniors apartments for occupancy by Canadian Armed Forces veterans. But there is no doubt that there has to be more fundraising in the future for the Perley/Rideau Health Centre to continue to provide long-term care to seniors. The foundation is the fundraising arm of the Perley/Rideau. There are John Curry/Metroland a number of ways to donate such as Rotary Club of Ottawa - Stittsville member David Rooke (left) presents monthly giving, planned giving and giving for special events and capital a gift of appreciation to Delphine Hasle (centre), development officer projects. for the Perley and Rideau Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Centre Foundation, and to The foundation annually sets a funCol.

The Perley and Rideau Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Centre is a real gem and they want people to know about it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the role of the Perley and Rideau Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Centre Foundation which not only raises funds for the facility but also works to increase awareness of the 450-bed long-term care centre. The Perley and Rideau Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Centre is one of the best kept secrets, Dalphine Hasle, a development officer with the foundation, told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stittsville at its Aug. 9 meeting, explaining that 800 staff and 450 volunteers work to provide the best of care for the residents there, both vet-

Perley/Rideau Health Centre

NEW PRICE

Continued from page 21

Other equipment provided includes special dining room furniture and tiltrecline wheelchairs. The foundation is building its fundraising capacity so that it can respond to the long-term capital needs of the facility. Foundation development officer Hasle admits that fundraising is not easy but involves building relationships with donors. She said that the goal of the foundation is to make sure that everyone knows about the Perley/ Rideau and its services. The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre goes back to 1897 when heirs of the late William G. Perley donated family property on Wellington Street for the care of persons who needed shelter and treatment over an extended period as the Perley Home. When this property was expropriated in 1912, a new facility was built in Aylmer Avenue. By 1941, the Perley’s capacity had grown to 95 beds and in the 1950s it was further expanded to 215 beds. As a hospital, it took on added responsibilities for physiotherapy and orthopedic rehabilitation. The Rideau Veterans Home was built by the federal government as a temporary residence for the rehabilitation of service personnel returning from the Second World War. It gradually grew into a 139-bed home for the aged. In 1988, a plan was developed to combine the Perley Hospital with the Rideau Veterans Home and the Veterans Wing of the National Defence Medical Centre in a new 450-bed facility. Construction began in 1994 thanks to financing from Veterans Affairs Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, the then-Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and community fundraising. The first residents moved into the new facility in 1995 and in 1997 the new facility was designated as a long-term care home by the Ontario Ministry of Health. The facility at 1750 Russell Road formally became the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ health Centre in 1999.

Rural site for Arboretum Festival At Rideau Pines Fines near Richmond SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Rideau Pines Farm outside Richmond is the site of this weekend’s Arboretum Festival. This is the first time that this musical festival is being held outside the urban area of Ottawa in its six year existence. But this so-called “year six in the sticks” is really the realization of the original vision for the festival in which it would take place in a wilderness setting, living up to its “Arboretum” name. It had always been the dream of those like creative director Rolf Klausener to hold the event at a rural setting and this year it is happening. Rideau Pines Farm, located on the Fourth Line Road near Century Road between Richmond and North Gower, was known to the Arboretum Festival organizers because Matt Vandenberg of Rideau Pines Farm headed the Arboretum Festival’s corn roast at the 2013 Arboretum Festival behind Arts Court in Ottawa. And while there is only very limited on site parking at Rideau Pines Farm, there will be a free shuttle bus serHELP WANTED

New Plymouth car

t wasn’t a secret for long ... even if it was meant to be. But no one got a brand-new car without the news spreading pretty fast. Being next farm to Uncle Alec’s though, meant that we got a look at the new Plymouth before anyone else at Northcote. And what a beauty it was. Certainly many steps up from the old Model T with the hole in the back floor, and the two front fenders different colours, which we got in a trade. I was just as excited as was my little friend Velma when the new car came into her family. My sister Audrey wondered where the money came from. Did Uncle Alec sell off his herd of cattle, or his workhorses? No, he didn’t. The cows and the

horses were right there in the barnyard. Uncle Alec, the good neighbour that he was, was more than generous letting us all have a ride in the new Plymouth, taking Mother to Briscoe’s General Store, and our family taking turns, and once driving Velma and me all the way to Douglas. He was pretty fussy about his new car too. None of his sons were allowed behind the steering wheel, even though they were old enough to drive. Even when they were courting, they had to take the horse and buggy, just like every other young fella in Northcote, who wasn’t lucky enough to have a new Plymouth sitting in his yard. My friend Velma said her father could often be seen wiping the shiny

wheel, but only after Uncle Alec let him run it around the 20-acre field a good many times. I was always amazed that Aunt Bertha never learned to drive the new car. Certainly, we didn’t have the old Memories Model T more than a day or so, before Mother got behind the wheel, drove out the long lane, and headed all the way into Renfrew. But not fenders with his handkerchief, and Aunt Bertha. She left the driving to when it rained, he covered it with a Uncle Alec. Well, as the novelty of canvas to keep it dry. Yes, he was the new car wore off, and it was compretty fussy ... at least at the start of ownership. But like all things bought monplace to see it parked in the rain, and the Thom boys, one by one, were for use on the farm back then, the time would come when it would have allowed to get behind the wheel, you to be put into other service. It wasn’t could see that Uncle Alec would be that the thrill of a new car had worn putting the Plymouth to other uses, off. Certainly not! It was still the nic- to get the full value out of the dollars he spent on it. est car to be parked at the Lutheran No longer did we have to take Church on Sundays.

see Uncle Alec unload a few bags of wheat from the grist mill. But I knew the new car had lost its glory when I was over playing with Velma one Saturday, and Uncle Alec had parked the car close to the barn. When he wheeled the car over to the house to tell Aunt Bertha he’d be back in time for supper, a Holstein calf had its head out one back window, and a sheep out the other. Uncle Alec headed into Renfrew to market the two, and the fastest way to get there was in the Plymouth that only a scant few months before was treated like a member of the family.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

sudoku

Bearsaeinrs

horoscopes

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

The Hashtags’ concert features guests on stage

Six year old Easton Fraser (centre) of Richmond performs with guitarists Laurie Walker (left) and Rick Perrier (right) after he was called up to the stage at The Hashtags’ concert at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Aug. 10.

Those at the free concert featuring The Hashtags at the Richmond fairgrounds on Aug. 10 got more than publicized. The Hashtags, a four-person musical group formed in 2016, presented cover songs ranging from the 1950s to the present day but a trio of unplanned happenings gave the concert a unique flavour. Chris Birtch, an experienced musician who had performed with The Hashtags lead singer Rick Perrier over the years since 2007, was called up on stage to join the band, playing the guitar as the Johnny Cash tune Fulsom Prison Blues was performed. And he did not miss a beat despite the unexpected call to join the group on stage.

This performance of Folsom Prison Blues was further enhanced when Rick Perrier whistled one of the verses. Chris Birtch joined The Hashtags for another song on stage later in the program, when the song Fishin’ in the Dark, the 1987 hit by the American country rock band Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, was requested. Chris Birtch was not the only one to be called up on stage by The Hashtags. Six-year-old Easton Fraser, who just the week before had joined the band Ambush on stage at the Thursday evening concert at the Richmond fairgrounds, joined The Hashtags with his airband guitar as the group sang Wagon Wheel, the 2013 hit for the American string band Old Crow Medicine Show.

Four-member Hashtags performs range of songs Continued from page 34

Both Rick Perrier and guitarist Laurie Walker got down on one knee on occasion to play along with Easton on the guitar and Walker shared a fish pump with Easton at the end of the song as applause erupted in the audience. And, as if this were not enough, the concert was further enhanced when two Lockheed C-130 Hercules four engine turboprop military transport aircraft, fresh from flying over TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park at the opening of the Ottawa Redblacks game that evening which had honoured Canadian Armed Forces personnel, flew over the Richmond fairgrounds halfway through the concert at 7:45 p.m., returning to their home base. As for The Hashtags, the band performed a range of songs, starting off with Last Kiss, the 1998 hit by the American rock band Pearl Jam, a group which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Other songs by The Hashtags included Bad Moon Rising, the 1969 hit by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival; Fishin’ in the Dark, a 1987 hit for the American country rock band Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Tutti Frutti, a song by the British rock band Queen; and Born to the Wild, a 1968 song that was the most successful single by the Canadian rock band Steppenwolf. Indeed, the Rolling Stone magazine placed Born to the Wild at No. 129 in its list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Guitarist Laurie Walker (left) and lead singer and guitarist Rick Perrier (right) perform together in The Hashtags’ concert at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Aug. 10.

Members of The Hashtags, an Ottawabased group, are lead singer and guitarist Rick Perrier, guitarist Laurie Walker, bass guitarist Mike Henry and drummer Tony Young. The group formed in 2016 after an impromptu jam session together at a house party. This was the sixth of a series of seven free summer concerts being in the area. The first four of these Thursday evening concerts were held at Fitzroy Provincial Park at Fitzroy Harbour in July. The fifth was held at the Richmond fairgrounds on Aug. 3, featuring

the band Ambush. The seventh and final concert in this series is being held this Thursday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. at Village Square Park in Stittsville with the rock ‘n roll stage band Eddy and the Stingrays performing. This free summer concert series has been happening for 23 years now, with Waste Management sponsoring the concerts for 20 of these years. This year the concerts are being sponsored by city of Ottawa West Carleton-March ward Coun. Eli El-Chantiry who is hopeful that Waste Management may

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

While some banks and mortgage companies require that their clients retain a lawyer to finalize mortgage refinancing transactions, it is now very common that some lending institutions would either finalize it themselves or use mortgage processing companies. Nevertheless, most lenders would still give you an option of retaining your own lawyer to finalize the transaction. Benefits of using a lawyer. Your lawyer will help you to review and understand complex mortgage documents, such as the registered charge on title to your property, mortgage disclosure statement and standard mortgage terms, and will explain to you your rights and obligations under the mortgage. They will make sure that your old mortgage is discharged from the title to your property. As a lawyer I regularly see mortgages registered on title that have been paid off many years ago, but

My mortgage is up for renewal this summer. I will more than likely switch to a different lender. Would I need to use a lawyer to finalize my new mortgage?

While the concerts are free to attend, donations for CHEO are accepted at these concerts. In addition, the concert is preceded by a barbecue operated by a local youth group. At the Richmond concerts, it was the Richmond Youth Centre which provided the barbecue.

have never been discharged by the banks. They will also review with you the mortgage discharge statement to ensure that the payout amount to discharge your old mortgage is correct. Finally, your lawyer will make sure that the terms on the mortgage registered on title are the same terms you have negotiated with your lender. It is not uncommon that long after getting a mortgage some people discover that the amount of mortgage registered on title is a lot higher than the actual amount of the mortgage they received from the lender. This negatively affects their chance of getting a second mortgage or adding a secured line of credit from a different lender. Are you buying or selling your home this summer?
