Lots of fun coming at Rotary’s Picnic in the Park SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

It’s a celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. It’s a ceremony to mark the renaming of Bell Memorial Park as W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. It’s an afternoon of games and activities for those of all ages. But most importantly, it’s a time for lots of fun. This is the Picnic in the Park event which the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville is hosting at the newly renamed W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park in Stittsville this Saturday, Sept. 9 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend.

It will all get underway at 1 p.m. with a brief ceremony marking the renaming of the former Bell Memorial Park to the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. It was in the 1950s that Stittsville businessman W.J. Bell had donated the triangle-shaped land for the park which is flanked by Stittsville Main Street on the west, Fernbank Road on the south and Cherry Drive on the east. The site has recently become the location for the Rotary Club’s peace park which features a labyrinth. In view of this Rotary Club initiative and with the approval of the Bell family, the name of the park

John Curry/Metroland

A new sign has been erected, bearing the new name of the former Bell Memorial Park on Stittsville Main Street at Fernbank Road with the new name being the W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park to recognize not only Mr. Bell but also the presence of the Rotary Peace Park and labyrinth at the park. It’s the site of this Saturday’s Picnic in the Park.

has been changed to W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. The ceremony marking this renaming will include city of Ottawa deputy mayor Bob Monette, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward Coun. Shad Qadri and Grace Bell representing the Bell family. This opening ceremony will then be followed by lots of fun activities. There will be potato sack races, croquet, kick ball, egg and spoon races and a balloon toss. There will be participation ribbons presented for those who take part in these games. At 3 p.m., there’s going to be a tug of peace as opposed to a tug of war, given the Peace Park setting for the event. Five-member teams representing the city’s emergency services such as paramedics and firefighters as well as teams representing community organizations and churches are expected to participate in this tug of peace. In addition, there will be continuous live musical entertainment throughout the afternoon, starting about 1:45 p.m. and continuing through to 5 p.m., the end of the festivities. Rotary Club member Leo Maiorino will not only serve as MC for this entertainment but will also be performing. Other performers will include Bill Martin, Kamila Baumann, Alyanna Tablin, Hannah Gale, Emily Akhlasi, Sarah Culbert, Jennifer

McNarmara and LA Connection. They will be performing on the Cavanagh stage, which is being brought to the site for this event. And thanks to Ritchie’s Feed and Seed, the stage will be decorated with cedars and mums, adding more beauty to the park that is already one of Stittsville’s more beautiful venues. There’s going to be lots of food on-site as well with the Knights of Columbus from Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville selling food. And not just any food but “food dogs” which apparently were the first hotdogs sold in Canada back in the 1930s. To portray this 1930s mood, the Knights of Columbus members at the food booth will be dressed up in period costumes from that era. This Picnic in the Park is the Rotary Club’s initiative to provide a community celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary this year, marking 150 years since Canada was founded in 1867.

But with the cool and rainy weather of late using the amenity as a fun way for kids and families in the area to beat the heat has been at the mercy of the less than ideal weather Ottawa has experienced this summer. END OF SUMMER

A new community splash pad is now in place in Deer Run Park in Stittsville.

Weather trumps slash pad fun as season winds down close. The long anticipated splash pad as brian.dryden@meytroland.com an addition to Deer Run Park in StittsIt’s now open, and now it is about to ville opened in late August. BY BRIAN DRYDEN

And now with Labour Day in the rear-view mirror, and kids are returning back to school after their summer vacation, the time to enjoy the new slash pad is quickly dwindling. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is touting the addition as “great for the communities as they encourage physical activity while providing an opportunity to beat the heat.” “Bring your bathing suits, bring your towels, but most of all, bring your excitement to the park to make the most of our final days of warm weather before they’re gone,” he says. While the splash pad is now open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., it will be shuttered for the season after this coming weekend. Water will cease being pumped through the splash pad as of Monday, Sept. 11.

Fall Fair coming to Fernbank Crossing

Coach cites ‘hard work and dedication’ exhibited by Jack Fan in skating, track

BY BRIAN DRYDEN

Continued from page 1

brian.dryden@metrland.com

A bunch of developers are joining forces to host a community Fall Fair in the Fernbank Crossing area of Stittsville. The fair is set to go on Sunday, Sept. 10, on Cope Drive in Stittsville from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The event, touted as a welcome to the coming fall season, is organized by eQ Homes, Phoenix Homes and Richcraft Homes. While the fair is being held in the Fernbank Crossing subdivision, all Stittsville residents are being invited to attend to partake in the fun. Organizers say there will be plenty of food trucks, horse-drawn carriage rides, bouncy castles, face painting and other activities available at the event.

A banner acknowledging these medal performances at this 2016 national competition hangs on the north wall of arena “A” at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. Now 20 years old, Jack was one of 18 figure skaters who were part of the Team Canada figure skating team at the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria. Team Canada had a total of 108 members competing in six sports, one of which was figure skating. Jack himself has been skatSubmitted ing for eight years. Stittsville’s Fernbank Crossing plays host to a Fall He likes both solo and dance Fair on Sept. 10. pairs skating, citing the exercise as well as the fun that they provide. He particularly likes skating fast. He attends Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School and also swims competitively in Special Olympics events in the summer. He is also a track athlete. Cathy Skinner of Stittsville, who has coached Jack, notes that Jack is a pleasure to coach. “His hard work and dedication to not only his skating but also to track where he has also

excelled are proof that nothing is impossible and we can all learn from this,” she says. She is very proud of what he has achieved in sport but predicts that he is not yet finished in what he will accomplish in athletics. The Special Olympics World Winter Games where Jack won two gold medals are the world’s largest sport and humanitarian event, involving 3,000 athletes from over 110 countries. The Special Olympics is a worldwide movement fostering inclusion and community through sport for those with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics Ontario, which presents a number of annual provincial awards including male athlete of the year, female athlete of the year, female coach of the year, male coach of the year and volunteer of the year, is dedicated to enriching the lives of Ontarians with an intellectual disability through sport. It works to improve and expand the quality, opportunity and accessibility of sport to individuals with an intellectual disability. Its vision as an orga-

nization is that sport will open hearts and minds toward people with intellectual disabilities and create inclusive communities all across Ontario. Ontario was instrumental in the creation of the Special Olympics as it was research by Dr. Frank Hayden, a Toronto researcher and professor, which proved that low levels of fitness and lack of motor skills development in those with intellectual disabilities were not the result of their disabilities but were simply the result of a sedentary lifestyle brought about by their exclusion from physical activity and sports experiences. It was Dr. Hayden’s findings that led to the development of the Special Olympics sports program by Eunice Kennedy Shriver and the Kennedy Foundation in the United States after they became aware of his work. A floor hockey team from Toronto attended the first Special Olympics in Chicago in 1968 with the first Canadian Special Olympics event held in Toronto in 1969. Since then, the Special Olympics movement has spread across Canada.

Childcare centre looks for board members Nominees sought as it transitions to not-for-profit model for Community Safety Awards Changing times prompt changes at childcare centre in Stittsville BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

Now that the Stittsville Childcare Centre has successfully seen its not-for-profit status approved, the centre is hoping to attract some members of the community with not-for-profit experience to step forward as potential board members of the organization. “This is all fairly new,” said Stittsville Childcare Centre supervisor Nadean Melvin. “We’re reaching out to see if we can bring in others for the board, maybe with a different background in the not-for-profit sector,” she told Metroland Media. In a recent statement released by the Stittsville Childcare Centre, the centre explained why it was transitioning to a not-forprofit model moving forward after first opening as a private

daycare provider in 2004. The centre’s statement said, “As a centre we have weathered many storms financially throughout the changing face of daycare and the need to adapt to new regulations. STATUS GRANTED

“Where we once had kindergarten children attending school for half days and attending our kinder programs for the other half, the school system began offering full day kindergarten. Where once schools within the public board operated only during school hours, they now house extended day programs. Both of these program provisions have dramatically changed the look of our before and after School program.” The centre began the process of changing over to a not-forprofit operation in 2016, and was

officially granted that status on March 24, 2017. According to the centre’s statement, “We received our notfor-profit status and have been working diligently to transform the way we present ourselves to our community. “We are now governed by a Board of Directors who were elected to their roles and are members of our community, parents of children attending our centre, and staff members.” Melvin said the initial board agreed to take up that role for a year until the organization’s next annual general meeting, but the centre is looking for others who wish to join before then who have more non-profit experience. “We do have an existing board, but we are looking for people to join at any point at this time,” Melvin said. “As we continue to grow into our new role, we are excited to announce that we would love to hear from members within our community who may be interested in being considered for a role on our board,” the centre’s state-

ment said. “In particular, we are hoping that we may find individuals with not-for-profit experience, and possibly either an accounting or legal background to help round out our board.” Those interested in learning more about the Stittsville Childcare Centre and about potentially putting their names forward as board members can contact Melvin or the centre’s director at 613-831-8012 or email the centre at stittsvillechildcare@hotmail. com. According to the centre, which is located at 1488 Stittsville Main St., its basic philosophy is that “each day when anyone enters our program our hope is that they feel immediately welcome and that this centre will grow to become an extension of their family and home.” Initially licensed to provide care for children from babies up to six years of age, over the years the services of the childcare centre expanded to incorporate a school age program being offered as well.

The Community Safety Awards recognize community leaders in the following categories — volunteer award, community volunteer program award, community program award, leadership award, youth engagement award, enforcement professional award, city employee award, and a youth worker award. Nomination forms and nomination criteria are available at crimepreventionottawa.ca. The nomination deadline is Oct.3.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Changing name does nothing

hat’s in a name? A lot, if you listen to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which has called on school boards to rename any schools bearing the name of Sir John A. Macdonald. While Macdonald was one of the chief architects of Confederation in 1867, he also was a decision maker with regard to implementation of residential schools for Canada’s Indigenous peoples. And therein lies the rub — he’s great, but he’s not so great. So, according to the ETFO, let’s wipe Sir John A. from any school buildings. But then what’s next, especially here in Ottawa where the name is widespread. Are the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport renamed? Is his statue on Parliament Hill removed? And what about the Sir John A. pub on Elgin Street? This ETFO renaming proposal has not been greeted favourably by either Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne nor Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. We find Trudeau’s position on this inconsistent as he just recently renamed the Langevin Block because of Hector-Louis Langevin’s role in the establishment of the residential school system. While Langevin is not nearly as signifi-

cant an historical figure as Sir John A., his name was quickly tossed aside by the PM. Yet Sir John A. was Langevin’s boss and was equally complicit in the decision. One goes and one stays — a double standard? Surely what really should be happening as the country wrestles with reconciliation with its Indigenous populace is not to eliminate the past by deleting the names of those from that chapter in Canada’s history. Rather, schools need to tell the complete story of our forefathers, warts and all. In this way, Canadians will come to know not only all the positive things that these people did, but also their blemishes. Removing names from school or public facilities would only cover up the past and do nothing to help Canadians of today to begin dealing with how to form a new respectful relationship with Indigenous peoples. Our past is what it is. We cannot change that. Nor should we want to change that. But Canadians should know about the past — the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly. Let’s honour the accomplishments and achievements of our forefathers while also acknowledging their faults and taking action to correct them. We can only move forward to Indigenous reconciliation by knowing and acknowledging the past. Changing the name on a building will not do this.

Carpool should be easy to set up but it’s not

eptember is here and I’ve managed to do the unthinkable — the family calendar is booked seven days per week, sometimes double-booked. After all the years promising myself and you readers that I wouldn’t let this happen, the crazy, overscheduled lifestyle has hit. My eldest two children are on the brink of adolescent years. And as it turns out, they like their friends more than they like me. Their friends play football and soccer and baseball and hockey and … well, the list goes on. “Some days, I’d like to come home from work and just sit for half an hour,” my husband said one day last spring as he was emptying the compost and preparing to mend a school uniform for one of the kids. Personally, I’d like to stop thinking about groceries and meal planning.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse My most frequent Google searches these days include things like, “meals for kids on the go” and “slow cooker all year ‘round.” I’ve also been known to look up things like “how much protein do kids need if they’re growing and playing sports six hours per day?” Turns out, it’s a lot. Besides magical containers that seal without leaking and an online calendar function that frequently pings little so-and-so’s soccer, football or flying event in the middle of a cli-

ent meeting, I have discovered the best thing since the professionalization of motherhood — the carpool. If you’re a parent with kids in extracurricular activities and you’re not carpooling, it’s time to start. It will save your sanity. But you have to stop hovering so much. The carpool should be easy to establish, but it’s not. It takes hours to get everything downloaded and organized at the beginning of the sports season — you have to recruit like-minded parents (those that are comfortable as nonhelicopters), download the info from TeamSnap and create a shareable calendar. As a family with one car and three kids, I have to frequently look into double-booking issues, work around vacations and rely on kind neighbours — you know who you are — to make

it run smoothly. It’s comparable to many project management jobs for which I once got paid. But once it’s in place, it works like a charm. My son has 12 practices per month in one sport. Twelve! With six parents on our carpool list, I attend two training sessions every 30 days. Unless I’m volunteering on a particular evening, I don’t need to be on the sidelines watching my kids train in sports. Would they want to sit there and watch me exercise? I don’t think so. I don’t even want to watch me exercise. It’s time better spent grocery shopping and meal planning, if you know what I mean. The carpool has been so successful, I extended it to include games.

Poilievre is only Conservative MP in Ottawa area Continued from page 1

“These big institutional investors can put money into big projects, but if they go over budget or suffer a revenue shortfall, taxpayers will have to pick up the cost,” he said, counter to free-market principles. “The Liberal government is protecting the wealthy elite with these funds,” Poilievre said, highlighting the Trudeau government’s handout to airline manufacturer Bombardier, which he blasted for laying off 14,000 people and giving its executives a pay raise. As well, departmental budgets under the Liberal government are growing faster than the combined rates of inflation and population growth, he noted. The solution lies in reminding voters of the costs, though many are starting to see the impacts already in the form of tax hikes on home heating, gas, beer and wine, and payrolls. “These costs are making life

less affordable for everyday Canadians,” said Poilievre. “We just have to remind everyday people how much they’re paying for all these Liberal promises. “We’re spending money we don’t have on things we don’t need.” The Conservatives’ hope is that the political tide will turn in the next federal election, though Poilievre acknowledged that the party suffered a major defeat in the last election. Poilievre remains the only Conservative MP in the Ottawa region. In his role as chair of the Conservative Ottawa caucus, Poilievre plans to continue taking aim at the Liberals. Poilievre has also long been critical of the time and money being spent on the site selection process for the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus. “It’s just pure partisan politics at the expense of our future hospital,” he said, adding the site had already been chosen

and the land was already in the process of being secured. While he recognizes that his job is now tougher being the lone local Conservative MP, he said he has ideas that he hopes to collaborate on with Liberal MPs in the capital region. It’s not uncommon, though working together happens more on committees. “These sorts of things do happen and hopefully we can see more of them,” Poilievre said.

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Leitrim Road Realignment and Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify the right-of-way requirements for the project, protect the corridor and inform the ongoing planning and development of adjacent lands. The study area is illustrated on the key map.

The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan including a functional design and an estimate of capital and operating costs for implementation. There will be ongoing public consultation activities during the course of the study. This first Open House will provide: • An overview of the study progress to date including an overview of existing conditions • Reconfirming the project need and justification • An evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative corridors.

Your participation in the Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Information about the study is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/leitrimroad. The Open House information will also be available on the website. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the City of Ottawa Project Manager, below, before the event.

Here and there around village of Stittsville *Ryan Orban of Stittsville, who has played the last several seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, will not be back with the Ottawa 67s this season. Ryan, 19, who is a defenceman, was a potential overage player for the 67s this season. He has opted not to return but to take another direction in hockey. Ryan played with Saginaw before joining the Ottawa 67s. *Kate Kelly Cooney has been a part of the staff team at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville for the past five years. She has been an early childhood educator in a kindergarten classroom, finding joy and humour in everything that the young pupils do. But more than just sharing her talents in the kindergarten room, Kate has also been instrumental in the drama productions presented at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School, eagerly going into work two hours early in order to share her musical theatre talents with the students. In mid-July, after experiencing a painful headache, Kate was diagnosed with glioblastoma. This is an inoperable brain tumour that is fast growing and usually does not respond to regular cancer treatment. Kate has been in hospital ever since her diagnosis and is about to start treatment. Her family and friends have spent almost every day with her at the hospital, helping take care of her and trying to make this dark time in her life a little

brighter. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to allow others to help support Kate, her three children Demmon, Molly and Colm, and her husband Dave as they face the financial strain that this devastating illness is causing and will continue to cause going forward. Funds raised in this GoFundMe campaign will be used to make Kate’s hospital and long-term care stay as comfortable as possible; to support travel back and forth to Ottawa for six weeks of daily treatment; to cover any expenses not covered by OHIP; to support short outings that Kate can make from the hospital to local destinations; to support Kate’s immediate family in maintaining the household; to reimburse expenses incurred for family travel and accommodations (e.g. Kate spent 16 days at the Kingston General Hospital); to accommodate Kate’s siblings and their families as they travel to Carleton Place to be with Kate; and to cover any other unexpected expenses. The GoFundMe campaign can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/ kate-kelly-cooney-and-family. This GoFundMe campaign was launched on Aug. 15. *Those involved or becoming involved with Girl Guides in Stittsville this fall are reminded that there will be a Girl Guides used uniform sale this Saturday, Sept. 9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot at Brown’s

Organized by eQ Homes, Phoenix Homes and Richcraft Homes, three development companies working in the area, this fall fair will include food trucks, horse-drawn carriage rides, face painting, bouncy castles and more. Everyone is invited to attend. *There is still room to register for the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) IP division. The SMHA IP program is a fun and enriching environment for young hockey players aged 4 to 6 years old. Please check the SMHA registration page for details: http://stittsvilleminorhockey.com/ page.php?page_id=51328 or if you have questions, email the IP convener at convenorinitiation@stittsvilleminorhockey.com. *Residents of the Amberlakes community enjoyed a street part on Saturday evening, Sept. 2. Singer Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux of Stittsville provided

You can ‘test drive’ ringette at free session on Sept. 9 SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

It’s like a test drive. Only, instead of a car, you get to try out the sport of ringette. And, best of all, it’s free. The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA), whose teams play under the name of the West Ottawa Wild, is hosting a free Come Try Ringette event for those aged four to 16 on Saturday, Sept. 9. This is a great opportunity for daughters to try out this sport and get a feeling for its speed, skill and fun. The Come Try Ringette session will be held on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 2 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville. Those planning to attend should

try to show up at the GRC about 20 or 30 minutes before the 2 p.m. start time for the on-ice session, so they can sign in and get ready. Those participating need to take along a helmet, skates, winter gloves or protective gloves of some sort, as well as enthusiasm. Everything else such as sticks and rings will be provided. There will also be on-ice helpers available to assist any new skaters or skaters new to the sport of ringette. Goalies are also welcome to attend this session. In addition, executive members of WORA will be available to answer any questions and provide more information about ringette. Those planning to attend this Come

Try Ringette session are urged to preregister at www.cometryringette.ca. For more information, please email secretary@westottawaringette.com. The WORA website can be found at www.westottawaringette.com. The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) draws players from Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata. It offers a fun ringette experience for both recreational and competitive players of all ages, ranging from a learn-to-skate bunny program to AA provincial level teams. This means that there are ringette programs for all skill levels, with the season running from early October to the end of March. Beginning players under the age

of seven start in the bunny program, which is a learn-to-skate program that also teaches basic ringette skills as the players progress. The bunnies are on the ice once a week for an hour. They do not play official games, but they may participate in scrimmages with bunnies from other ringette associations throughout the season. The sport of ringette marks its 55th anniversary year in 2018, as the game was introduced by Sam Jacks in North Bay in 1963. Since then, ringette has spread to other countries such as Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Russia and the United States — although Canada still has the largest number of ringette players, with over 50,000 playing the game.

Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. It involves six players on each team on the ice at any one time. Players are not permitted to carry the “ring” (ringette’s alternative to a puck, hence the sport’s name) over the two blue lines. The ring can be advanced over a blue line only by passing it to another player. Ringette is related to ice hockey in equipment and playing surface, but it differs in rules and approach to the game. In ringette, the challenge is to catch or “stab” the ring. To catch the ring, a player must stab through the hole in the ring with the bladeless stick, usually while they are on the move.

teamwork is a focus. Canadian championships in ringette are held Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck, but the blue line rules force more annually, as has been the case since 1979.

Fun and entertainment coming up at Richmond Fair SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Family-friendly fun and entertainment — that’s what the annual Richmond Fair is offering again this year, in the view of Richmond Agricultural Society president David Brown. In his message in the fair’s 2017 prize list booklet, Brown lists a number of this year’s attractions — including the Thursday evening demolition derby, the Friday night entertainment, the Kiddyland attractions for youngsters, the Homecraft Division displays in the curling club building and the livestock shows in the various rings on the fairgrounds. There’s so much more as well at this year’s fair, including the Robertson Amusements midway, the amateur talent show, a lawn tractor pull and the parade, which is always one of the highlights of the fair. The demolition derby will be staged on Thursday, Sept. 14 starting at 7 p.m. It goes ahead rain or shine, always drawing lots of spectators to see the cars bang and crash into each other in the ring. A lawn tractor pull will be staged on the grounds on Friday, Sept. 15 starting at 7 p.m. There will be both youth and adult classes, with tractors up to 18 horsepower taking part. The fair parade happens on Saturday, Sept. 16, starting at 11 a.m. at South Carleton High School and proceeding along McBean Street to Perth Street, then heading east on Perth Street in front of the fairgrounds, dispersing at Colonel Murray Street. It’s al-

ways one of the highlights of the fair, and of course, it’s free to watch. Just pick out a spot along the route and enjoy the passing floats and parade entries. The entertainment in the arena for this year’s fair offers something for everyone. On Friday night, the British Legends will be performing songs from artists such as Paul McCartney, Adele, David Bowie and the Bee Gees. The Carnival Hangover Band will follow up this British invasion with an assortment of rock cover songs. Saturday afternoon in the arena will feature the Gruff Sisters Kitchen Party on stage. The Saturday night dance will feature Canadian country music singer Madeline Merlo, who received the Canadian Country Music Association’s (CCMA) Rising Star Award in 2015 and has been nominated for their female artist of the year award this year. The song Honey Jack from her debut album Free Soul became a hit across Canada. Attractions for youngsters in Kiddyland this year will include magician Michael Bourada, the Little Buckaroos and the Fairy Princesses. There will also be face-painting and a petting farm, both longtime favourites with the younger crowd. Two must-sees in the Homecraft building (curling club) will be the antiques and collectibles class as well as the quilt show. The antiques and collectibles section will include a class featuring memorabilia from Canada’s 100th birthday in 1967. It should bring back memories to lots of fairgoers.

David Brown heads Agricultural Society SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

David Brown heads the Richmond Agricultural Society this year. Other officers of the society, which organizes the annual Richmond Fair, include David Rea, first vice-president; Larry Monuk, ex officio; Gerd Lohmann, past president; and Laura Boyd, Homecraft president. Dale Greene is the general

Along these same lines, the quilt show at this year’s fair is going to feature a display of items made to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday this year. This display is expected to include quilts, wall hangings, bags, clothing and more. The items are to be predominantly red and white or have Canada 150 features in them. You won’t want to miss what promises to be a spectacular display. And, of course, no Richmond Fair would be complete without the various livestock shows: the dairy and beef cattle shows, the heavy and light horse shows — and don’t forget the sheep show on Sunday, Sept. 17. Another must-see attraction on Sunday is the Rise 2 Fame Talent Search, which will see performers from ages six to 20 years perform on the outdoor stage. This will include both vocal and instrumental solos, solo and group dance routines and other performers including bands. There’s $500 in prize money for each category of performers, so you know the performances are going to be spectacular. There will be lots of food vendors at the fair, plus there will be meals offered in the dining hall. All in all, the 2017 Richmond Fair promises to entertain and inform. It’s going to be a great place to have some fun and it all takes place from Thursday, Sept. 14 to Sunday, Sept. 17 at the Richmond fairgrounds, at the corner of Huntley Road and Perth Street in Richmond.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

September 7, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville Planning Tour with General Manager of Planning, Infrastructure & Economic Development Last week, I had the opportunity to tour Stittsville with Stephen Willis who is the General Manager of Planning, Infrastructure & Economic Development at the City of Ottawa. Stephen Willis is one of the eight General Managers at the City of Ottawa who reports directly to the City Manager, Steve Kanellakos. Previously a consultant with the National Capital Commission (NCC), Stephen possesses a great deal of expertise and insight and I was honoured to familiarise him with our community firsthand. As a resident in a suburban community, Mr. Willis is well of aware of the typical challenges a growing community faces. I invited Mr. Willis out to Stittsville so that I could show him first hand the growth of Stittsville and the challenges we face as a result of that growth. This was also a great opportunity to highlight the uniqueness of Stittsville and demonstrate how development has impacted our communities. Our tour began on Stittsville Main Street with a discussion of sites currently under construction as well as potential future development sites. We discussed how the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan provides an important plan for the future of the street. From there, we visited a number of existing neighbourhoods as well as developments under construction. We discussed some of the lessons learned through growth that the City is addressing with policy changes recommended by the City’s Building Better and Smarter Suburbs initiative. I also raised a number of concerns related to infrastructure items that are important to the community including those relating to planning such as parking, new parks, pedestrian and cycling pathways as well as the need for educational and health care services in Stittsville. I would like to thank Mr. Willis for taking the time to join me on this tour of our community. While planning processes is one thing on paper, I am a firm believer that seeing and experiencing communities firsthand is the best way to understand their needs. I look forward to the opportunity to conduct similar community tours with other Department Managers moving forward into the future. The growth in Stittsville has a significant impact on the residents in the community and I continue to work towards resolving existing issues and ensure that we plan development properly for the future. Back to School Safety Tips Where has the summer gone? Bells are ringing and school is back in session! However, as September brings cooler weather and exciting changes, it also means an increase in children and youth on City streets and sidewalks. Many children will be returning to school and many will be bussing, walking and riding their bikes to their destinations. In an effort to ensure that our children remain safe in, out, and around their ways to school, please consider the following safety tips: • Reduce speeds in school zones and be ready to stop at any time. Children do not always notice oncoming traffic; • Obey school bus signals. Vehicle owners can be fined from $400 $2,000 and 6 demerit points, if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus; • Watch for pedestrian crossovers, know how they work and obey them when in use; • Avoid letting children walk to or from school alone. Talk to your neighbours - there may be another child who needs a buddy to walk with. • Children often have a hard time understanding that traffic can come from several different directions at intersections. A child needs to be shown not just told - how to cross a road safely. Do it together and teach them about the importance of road safety. • Remind youth that if waiting for a bus or walking to school, to never get in a car with a stranger, even if they offer a ride or ask for their help. Tell your kids that adults should only ask other adults for help, not children, and teach them to trust their instincts and get help when needed.

Founded on Trust. Built on Service.

• Walk on available sidewalks; • Keep your eyes open for pedestrians! Slow down, drive carefully and watch for pedestrians or cyclists;

We Represent:

• Always cross at intersections, looking and listening for traffic and walk across only when road is clear and safe to do so;

• Follow adult crossing guards, student crossing patrols and school bus operator’s signals; and, • Always wear a helmet when riding a bike and walk your bike across a roadway. September is School Bus/School Zone safety and Vehicle Occupant Restraint awareness month with the Safer Roads Ottawa Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). I would like to wish all residents have a safe and exciting return back to school this autumn. Stay safe and learn often!

He earned his way to this year’s event which is taking place at Walton in Huron County from Sept. 19-23 by winning the two-furrow mounted plow class at the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association plowing match on Aug. 26. This match was held at the Charles Brophy farm at the corner of Brophy Drive and Moodie Drive at Twin Elm near Richmond. Plowers using both modern and vintage tractors as well as horses competed in this Ottawa Carleton plowing match. Other winners in addition to Hills were Samuel Bourgon of Dalkeith in the jointer plow, amateur, in the horse class; Morgan Stinson of Kemptville in the two-furrow mounted plow, amateur class; Jean Guy Thivierge of Hammond in the antique tractor, prior-to-1945 class; Jean Marc Dessaint of Sarsfield in the antique tractor, 1946-60 class; Nicole Calande of Alfred in the antique mounted plow class; Bourgon in the overall horse land class; and Dessaint in the overall antique land, the overall land, and highest-scored land classes.

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SUCH A GIFT. THROUGH THEIR FAMILY FOUNDATION, DAVE AND ANN TRICK ARE BRINGING SOME MAGIC TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT CHEO. Dave and Ann Trick are so proud of their nine grandchildren. Over the years, many of the Trick’s grandchildren have visited CHEO for everything from broken bones to tests and treatment for various health issues. Dave and Ann are grateful that today, they all are healthy! But that wasn’t always the case.

GRANDPARENTS DAY IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017. A gift to CHEO’s Grandparents Program, either as a grandparent or to honour special grandparents, will transform your gratitude into specialized care for all families who need CHEO. 20 Stittsville News - Thursday, September 7, 2017

In 2011, their youngest granddaughter Emily suffered a stroke in-utero. She spent two weeks in CHEO’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to their interventions, and continued care through CHEO

and OCTC, Emily is thriving. For the Trick family, supporting CHEO was an easy choice. Dave and Ann established their foundation with one clear goal in mind: “We wanted to inspire philanthropy within our own family,” Dave explains.

“We are delighted to help provide an excellence in care that all grandchildren deserve,” says Ann.

Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux delivers jokes as well as songs BY JOHN CURRY

The Friendship Club got more than just music with the performance of Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux at the club luncheon in Stittsville on Aug. 30. The singer/guitarist not only sang a host of songs from the '50s era but also delivered joke after joke in his between-song banter, most of them of the groan variety but, like the tried-and-true songs that he sang, his jokes also proved entertaining to the audience. He told the audience that he “slept like a log” the night before, waking up in the fireplace. He told how he played a round of golf the day before with a person who wore two

Or, there was his story about the invisible man marrying the invisible woman, ending with the observation that “their kids are nothing to look at”. There was the advice that he gave as well: Never iron a four-leaf clover. Why? You never want to press your luck. He told about the bee which got married “because he had found his honey”. And he even threw in a couple of those old standbys: “knock, knock” jokes. But this was not all! Jimmy kept urging audience participation including a “Go Sens Go” tagged onto the end of a song, a “Cha, cha, cha” at the end of another song, a vocal trumpet singalong with Johnny Cash’s song Ring of Fire and the verse Ain’t Got No Cigarettes with Roger Miller’s King of the Road song. He even distributed a couple of tambourines for audience accompaniment with the song Shake, Rattle and Roll, an iconic early rock and roll hit, first recorded by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Big Joe Turner and subsequently by Bill Haley and the Comets in 1954, and even by Elvis Presley in 1956.

Other songs included Walking The Floor Over You, a 1941 Ernest Tubb song that was the biggest hit for the renowned "Texas Troubadour” and was the first honky tonk genre song; I Can’t Stop Loving You, a 1957 song written by country singer Don Gibson that was a number one hit for Ray Charles in 1962; and Save The Last Dance For Me, first recorded by the American doo-wop group The Drifters in 1960. Two of the songs near the end of his program which Leroux presented were My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean, a traditional Scottish folk song, and Show Me The Way To Go Home, an English popular song that goes back to the 1920s.

Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre visits Dieppe BY JOHN CURRY

The Second World War’s Dieppe Raid is now more than just words on a page for Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre. That’s because he has been there

and has seen for himself the beaches and cliffs of Dieppe. He has heard for himself stories about the wartime disaster from soldiers who were there, fighting for Canada 75 years ago. MP Poilievre was a member of a Canadian delegation which travelled

to Dieppe to take part in the 75th anniversary ceremonies of the Dieppe Raid on Aug. 19. In fact, he was with the delegation in France for several days, as there were a number of ceremonies to attend at various monuments and beaches in the Dieppe area. He readily admits that being there in Dieppe and walking along the beaches and cliff tops has made the Dieppe Raid far more “vivid” for him than just reading about it. He said that when a person like himself goes there and witnesses the setting, and hears first-hand accounts from veterans who were actually there 75 years ago, it makes the Dieppe Raid so much more real for him. He says that experiencing Dieppe has just increased the level of gratitude he has for Canada’s veterans. Poilievre attended the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge 10 years ago, which he also found to be a touching experience. He points out that a major difference between the two is that Vimy was a success, as Canadian soldiers took the ridge — whereas the Dieppe Raid was, in his words, “a catastrophe.” But, he also notes that both were Canadian wartime firsts. The First World War Battle of Vimy Ridge marked the first time that all of the Canadian corps fought together as a unit. The Dieppe Raid was also a first for Canada, in that it was the first time Canadian air, land and sea forces acted together in one military operation. There were differences, though, as Poilievre points out — freshly back in

Canada from his Dieppe experience. The Battle of Vimy Ridge was wellplanned and executed, right down to the most minute detail, he said. However, the Dieppe Raid suffered from very poor planning, resulting in a chaotic result. He said that when a person goes there and tours the Dieppe site, as he has done, you can’t help but wonder just what the military planners were thinking when they devised this military operation, which was virtually doomed from the start. He also notes, however, that several thousand French citizens turned out for the Dieppe Raid 75th anniversary celebration, adding that it is great to see how thankful today’s French citizens are for Canada’s contribution to the war effort in the Second World War. Poilievre was chosen as the Conservative Party’s representative on the Canadian delegation attending this 75th anniversary celebration for the Dieppe Raid. The federal Minister of Veterans Affairs typically attends major wartime anniversaries and usually invites representatives from all federal political parties. Poilievre notes that over 900 Canadian soldiers were killed in the Dieppe Raid in August 1942, with another almost 2,000 taken prisoner by the Germans. In addition, many more of the 5,000 soldiers who took part were wounded. He describes the Dieppe Raid as a complicated, amphibious landing on a shore in France that featured enormous cliffs, with German artillery and

These German soldiers rained artillery shells and bullets down on the Canadians, who were landing on pebble beaches on which it was difficult to walk or run. During his stay at Dieppe, Poilievre spent time with the handful of Dieppe veterans who accompanied the Canadian delegation. One was 97-year-old Paul Delorme, a Métis veteran of the South Saskatchewan Regiment who actually fought his way up the cliff. He ended up being captured and spent time in a prisoner of war labour camp before escaping, and he is still alive to tell about it all. See 75TH ANNIVERSARY, page 23

Poilievre recalls being with Delorme on the top of a Dieppe cliff, with Delorme telling him that when he was there on that cliff 75 years ago, all he saw were uniformed German soldiers and he did not know whether they would be shooting him or taking him prisoner. Seventyfive years later, the view was much different for Delorme, as he looked around and saw Canadians like Poilievre as well as welcoming French citizens. Another Dieppe veteran was 100-year-old David Hart, who was serving as a signals soldier on the beaches that day. There is a memorial monument at Dieppe where the main 75th anniversary ceremony was held. But, there were also ceremonies held at various regimental monuments found in the Dieppe area. During the visit, Poilievre attended the unveiling of a monument dedicated to the Calgary tank regiment which took part in the Dieppe Raid. The Dieppe Raid of the Second World War is considered one of the darkest chapters in Canada’s military history. In the summer of 1942, Nazi Germany occupied Europe and was well on its way of creating “Fortress Europe,” with only the British Isles remaining out of German control. The Dieppe Raid was conceived as a way of forcing the Germans to divert more of their military resources away from the Soviet Union. It was also believed that a large-scale raid into occupied Europe at this time in 1942 would help in the planning of a full-scale Allied assault on Europe later in the war. In addition, Canadian soldiers had been training since the beginning of the war in 1939

and had not yet seen any significant action. There was political pressure in Canada to get the Canadians into battle. Dieppe, a resort town situated at a break in the cliffs along the northwest coast of France, was selected as the main target for the raid — partially because it was within range of fighter planes from Britain. The Allies’ plan was to launch a large-scale amphibious landing to damage enemy shipping and port facilities, as well as to gather intelligence on German defences. Also, as suggested by recent research, the plan was perhaps to capture top secret German code machines and code books. The Dieppe Raid saw more than 6,000 soldiers go ashore at five different points along a 16-kilometre stretch of heavily defended coastline. The raiding force was made up of almost 5,000 Canadians, about 1,000 British commandos and 50 American army rangers. However, the timing of the attack got thrown off and the Germans became aware of the raid. Because the raid fell behind schedule, the main force going ashore at Dieppe landed as daylight was breaking. The German defenders, now aware of the raid, cut down many Canadian soldiers as they waded in the surf. The cobblestone beach and adjoining seawall proved to be obstacles that slowed the Canadian advance on the beach. It soon became obvious that the raid could not continue and a retreat was mounted. Many soldiers were taken off the beaches under heavy German fire, but many soldiers were abandoned and were not evacuated, forcing their surrender to the Germans. See DIEPPE RAID, page 41

The Red Gables café and shoppe is innovative as well in that it offers a “bark thru,” which is a window through which dog owners can give and receive their orders.

Margarita had initially wanted to call her new café and shoppe Green Gables as a nod toward the famous Anne of Green Gables of whom she is a fan. But legal advice convinced her not to use the Green Gables name, so she changed the name to Red Gables, adopting a red motif for the business, with the former residential bungalow clad in red with red doors.

Back to Queen’s Park, Back to Work Next week I will be headed back to Queen’s Park as the Legislature begins its fall session. Summer is normally a low period for politics, but we have all been kept busy with an active agenda. I have spoken with business owners around Eastern Ontario about bill 148, the 30% mandated wage hike, and the impacts it is going to have on them. They were straight forward in saying bill 148 is going to kill jobs. I attended the committee meeting that was held in Ottawa to ensure that their views and concerns were represented. I have been making your voices heard, by standing up for the issues that are going to matter when the Legislature resumes sitting. Fighting government cash grabs, opposing making the same regulatory mistakes with marijuana that we made with alcohol and standing up for our small businesses. I was happy to once again host our Music in the Park concert, it is always great to be able to connect with the community in a light and fun atmosphere. And on a personal note I had the great joy of hosting my daughter’s wedding. Family is very important to me, as a father and grandfather I see what I’m fighting for as an MPP, their futures..

Back to school time yet another reminder of Depression

etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought. That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies. For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would

FOR SALE

be allowed to wear them only for the first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on! It was a Saturday. A week before school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me. The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school. There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first.

And not boy’s shoes.” Mostly, my shoes came in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina who only had two sons...no daughters, and you didn’t have to be too smart to see that they were decidedly boy’s shoes. Brown, they were, called brogues, with thick laces. I was the only one the shoes would fit. And I hated them with a passion. How I longed for a pair of girl’s shoes. Mother didn’t even answer, and I wondered if she heard me, so I asked again if she thought there might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy...as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering. Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time. “Mary, I know you’d like new shoes, but by the time we get the books the five of you need

MARY COOK Memories for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away. I never mentioned new shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose

FOR SALE

grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing. My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning. I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

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.

$14,455 for Dave Smith Centre SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

A total of $14,455 was raised for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation at the recent first Drop The Shame Get In The Game golf tournament. Held at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville on July 18, the tournament was not only an important fundraiser for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation but also it was a great day of golf and fun for the participants. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation raises funds to support the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre which is currently in the midst of a $5 million fundraising campaign to support the construction of a new 30-bed youth residential treatment facility off Richardson Side Road in West Carleton. This new facility will see the merging of three existing programs into one centralized location. The new centre will also mean more addiction treatment supports

and services will be available in the area. At this tournament Drop the Shame honoured Senator Vern White with the first DTS (Drop the Shame) Award in recognition of his commitment to publicly advocate for youth addition and mental health services and programs. The tournament was successful thanks to the help and assistance from sponsors, supporters and volunteers. These included the Wesley Clover Foundation, Jeff Greenberg of Royal LePage, City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn Ward Coun. Scott Moffatt, Dakota Auto, Blue Collar Golf, John Baizana Broker link, White Pines Dental, La-Z-Boy, Dan McCurdy Auto, Country Grocer, Lalande Insurance, Kruger &amp; Manor, MyersKanata, Fidelity Insurance, Maffet Design, Frisby, Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meats, HB Pools, Kardish, Metroland, Canadian Tire (Kemptville) and Krazilchuk.

Rideau Trail passes by village of Richmond SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Hike, anyone? If you would like to begin hiking and would like to get off “on the right foot,” as it were, then the introduction to hiking course being offered by the Ottawa Rideau Trail Club on Saturday, Sept. 16 is just the thing. This course, geared to new hikers and those interested in hiking in a safe and enjoyable way, is being held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. that day at the Nepean Sportsplex. Cost is $85 per person but this includes an Ottawa Rideau Trail Club membership through to March 2018. More information is available by phoning 613-860-2225 or by emailing info@rideautrail.org. The Ottawa Rideau Trail Club is a good group to know about if you are thinking of becoming a hiker. Its regular outings are held

on the Rideau Trail or at some of the many scenic spots around the Ottawa-Gatineau area. These outings are generally held on Saturdays, Tuesday evenings and Wednesdays, although there are occasional Sunday outings. As a member of the Ottawa Rideau Trail Club, you would receive a quarterly newsletter containing a list of all the planned hikes and social activities. The Ottawa Rideau Trail Association is one of three hiking clubs of the Rideau Trail Association. The other two are the Kingston Club and the Central (Perth) Club. The Rideau Trail Association itself is a charitable organization that maintains and champions the Rideau Trail, arranging activities such as hiking, snow shoeing and cross country skiing

on the trail. It has been since 1971 that the Rideau Trail Association has established and maintained the Rideau Trail, a 387 kilometre network of interconnected hiking trails running between Kingston and Ottawa. The route of the Rideau Trail passes by the village of Richmond. On the main Rideau Trail, redorange isosceles triangles mark the northbound route to Ottawa while red-orange triangles with yellow tips mark the southbound route to Kingston. In addition to the main trail, a number of side trails exist, marked by blue triangles. The Rideau Trail itself crosses terrain ranging from placid farmland to rugged Canadian Shield. It is intended for hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

It was in Feb. 1971 that a proposal for a hiking trail in the Canadian Shield north of Kingston arose at a meeting of the Kingston Field Naturalists. This proposal was then expanded to include a walking trail that would connect Kingston and Ottawa. A group in Ottawa was contacted, with the Rideau Trail Association being formed, named after the Rideau Canal that had linked the two communities since 1832. Originally the Rideau Trail was to be constructed by volunteers over a period of five years. But in March 1971 a group of university students heard of the plans and proposed to complete the building of the trail in one summer with the support of an Opportunities for Youth grant from the federal government. By mid-May, a route had been established and a 27-member

Negotiations were held with landowners, both private and public, as the Rideau Trail Association itself owns no lands. By the end of August that year, a continuous trail was established from Kingston to Ottawa. An official opening of

this new Rideau Trail was held in Nov. 1971 at the Foley Mountain Conservation Area north of Westport. The opening ceremony was officiated by the Rt. Hon. John Davies, federal minister of the environment, and by Hon. James Auld, the Ontario minister of public works.

Kidney Walk turns around at Papa Sam’s SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

It’s more than just the halfway turnaround point in the annual Kidney Walk in Stittsville. Papa Sam’s is also a place where Kidney Walk participants receive a warm welcome and delicious ice cream, both helping to make the 5 kilometre walk a little more enjoyable. Papa Sam’s is a takeout restaurant shop at the northwest corner of Stittsville Main and Beverly streets. This is the fifth annual Kidney Walk in Stittsville and each year Papa Sam’s has been the halfway turnaround point for the walkers. The walk starts at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road, with walkers proceeding north along Stittsville Main Street to Papa Sam’s and then returning via Stittsville Main Street to Stittsville United Church. The Stittsville Kidney Walk organizers are very grateful for Papa Sam’s support of the walk as well as the support of other local businesses in a variety of ways. The Kidney Foundation of Canada formally recognized Papa Sam for his five consecutive years of supporting the Kidney Walk in Stittsville. Papa Sam’s response when he has been called upon each year to support the Kidney Walk has always been the same: “No problem, of course, anything to help out.” Papa Sam's can often be seen sporting a Kidney Walk T-shirt throughout the year, This coming Sunday, Sept. 10, Papa Sam’s will once again be welcoming Kidney Walk participants to his premises as they reach the

in the fight against kidney disease. And there’s lots of fun to be had, not only on the walk itself along Stittsville Main Street but also at the finish line at Stittsville United Church. The church is holding a Sunday Fun Day with games and activities for youngsters as well as a free BBQ lunch and cake for all walk participants. For more information about the Stittsville Kidney Walk, go to www.kidneywalk.ca or contact Marianne Graham on 613-8319008. Stittsville is one of over 40 communities across Ontario which are hosting a Kidney Walk this year, all raising funds toward a future free of kidney disease. The fundraising goal for the province as a whole is $750,000. Raising funds is not the only goal of a Kidney Walk. The walk is also held to raise awareness of kidney health and organ donation. One in ten Canadians suffers from kidney disease and many more are at risk. Nearly 10,000 Ontario residents depend on lifesustaining dialysis treatments several times a week, with many of them waiting for a kidney transplant. The Kidney Foundation of Canada supports those affected by kidney disease through education, patient support programs and funding research to improve the future of kidney care in Canada. The Kidney Foundation of Canada is a national organization committed to reduce kidney disease, helping Canadians suffering from kidney failure and related disorders for over 50 years now.

Last year, the City of Ottawa began a review of the current City By-Laws that regulate site alteration activities. Over the last several months, City staff have engaged with local residents, farming organizations and environmental groups to create a new Site Alteration By-Law for the City of Ottawa. The City’s goal with this new by-law is to prevent drainage problems, protect the productivity of soils in designated Agricultural Resource Areas, protect designated natural areas and other identified natural heritage features (such as significant woodlands and valleylands) from negative impacts, reduce the risk of root damage to City-owned trees or other trees protected under the City’s tree by-laws and to establish basic rules for how site alteration is done, to avoid impacts to neighbours and the environment. Ultimately, the driving force behind this proposal is the impacts on agricultural lands by those wishing to development. In some cases, we have seen land manipulation in an effort to downgrade land from agricultural to a use more compatible with development. One thing I would like to see in this by-law is an outright exemption for normal agricultural activities. That exemption doesn’t yet exist. I would encourage any landowner or resident who has an interest in site alteration activities to review the draft by-law which is available on Ottawa.ca and to provide your feedback to City staff. As always, you can contact my office to receive a copy of the draft by-law, or to provide your comments. It is very important that the City received a variety of feedback on this matter from all parties impacted. Richmond Parks Open House On Tuesday, September 12th, I will be hosting an Open House meeting alongside our City of Ottawa Parks Planner, Jennifer Hemmings. The purpose of this open house is to outline plans for various park projects across the village. The parks included are King’s Grant Park, Richmond Lions Park and Sarah McCarthy Park. The latter is a new park being developed in the Richmond Gate community off of Nixon Farm Drive. The proposals will introduce a new mini soccer field and pathways at King’s Grant, a new lighted outdoor rink at Richmond Lions Park, and a basketball court, puddle rink and two new play structures, including an accessible structure at Sarah McCarthy Park. Ms. Hemmings and I have also heard many of the comments from Richmond residents on what they’d like to see in our parks. As a result of those comments, future planning has also begun on a new regional park in the Western Development Lands. That park has been identified for both a splash pad and a skate park. While the park planned in the Western Development Lands is a few years away, the plans for our other three parks are more imminent with much of the work taking place in 2018. The Open House will focus on these three parks and will be hosted at the Richmond Arena hall upstairs between the hours of 7:00pm and 9:00pm. As this is an open house, you can come at any time during those two hours. If you are unable to attend, I will also have the display boards with me at my Richmond Fair booth, just inside the main gate, all weekend from Friday, September 15th until close on Sunday, September 17th. 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.

In Richmond ‘The Manchester Hill Seance’ *The Richmond Village Association (RVA) is holding a monthly board meeting to which residents are invited to attend this coming Monday, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena). At the meeting, the RVA board will be dealing with a prepared agenda, but, in addition, there will be two guest speakers at the meeting. One will be Frank Cairo from Caivan Developments, who will provide an update about the new Caivan Developments subdivision at the western edge of the village. The other guest will be Donna Sarazin, who will provide an update on the new Richmond Medical Centre. *The site of the new Richmond Medical Centre at the northeast corner of Perth Street and Rochelle Drive has been fenced off as preparations get underway for the project to be started. *Activity is now starting as Caivan Homes begins preparing for building new homes at the so-called western development lands in Richmond which are located along Perth Street beyond the fire hall. *South Carleton High School held a welcoming barbecue for its new Grade 9 students on Thursday, Aug. 31. There were also tours of the school provided and there was a parent orientation session held as well. *Perth Street Dental, which had its grand opening last May, is located at the Richmond Village Marketplace shopping area at the corner of Perth Street and Shea Road. The family dentistry practice is located in the standalone building that also houses the Pet Valu store at the shopping area. Dr. Konrad Binder is accepting new patients. Perth Street Dental can be contacted at 613-838-2500.

‘God Has Got happening from Sept. 15-Nov. 5 You Covered’ SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Interactive entertainment experience presented by Jaymes White Entertainment SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

It’s a one-of-a-kind interactive entertainment experience that will be happening in Stittsville this fall. It’s The Manchester Hill Seance, a re-creation of a Victorian-style seance being presented by Jaymes White Entertainment in collaboration with Intenseffex Productions — the set design/ escape room construction enterprise of Joseph Carbonetto of Stittsville, who also operates the Halloween-based Goulbourn Spook Show each year. Last year, White, who is an Ottawa-born mentalist and illusionist, combined his talents with Carbonetto’s for The Hintonburg Seance — a similar re-creation, which drew sellout crowds when presented last year at a Hintonburg location. It was the “scariest, most popular show in Ottawa at that time period last year,” Carbonetto says. In these seances, White combines his abilities with the specialist and practical effects pro-

duced by Carbonetto. The special effects in this year’s The Manchester Hill Seance, when combined with White’s abilities, will make those who attend think they are in the middle of a suspense horror movie. Not just watching such a movie, but actually taking part in it; that’s the interactive part of the experience. The seance will last for two hours, with 16 people at a time taking part. There will be two shows offered nightly from Sept. 15 to Nov. 5, with three shows being presented on Friday and Saturday nights. This is not an occult-based seance experience has been developed as an entertainment experience, extending the experience that one might encounter in an escape room or a haunted house. A key to the experience is Jaymes White himself, who can be compared to the Amazing Kreskin with shades of David Copperfield and Criss Angel. White has been performing as a

mentalist and illusionist for over 10 years, performing to sold out audiences during this time. Those attending The Manchester Hill Seance will gather at Quitters Coffee on Stittsville Main Street and will then be led to the undisclosed secret location of the seance. The seance is a fictionalized experience, but it does have some connection to the past, thanks to research done into Stittsville’s history. Carbonetto pushed for The Manchester Hill Seance to be held in Stittsville because he sees it as a way of not only attracting people to Stittsville Main Street and its businesses, but also in helping Stittsville’s businesses by including them in providing discount code cards for ticket purchasers. The businesses will receive compensation for doing this, funds which they can then use or donate in any way they sees fit. Tickets are available now at the website, www.jaymeswhite.com. If the demand outstrips the number of available tickets for the shows already planned, then more shows may be added, perhaps beyond Nov. 5.

Here comes fall and that means adding some fall attire to your wardrobe. A good place to do this is at the God Has Got You Covered shop in Ashton. It offers nearly-new clothing and accessories, including clothing for women, men, boys and girls — and the best part is that the clothing is all being sold at terrific prices. The God Has Got You Covered shop will be open on Saturday, Sept. 9 and Saturday, Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The God Has Got You Covered shop is located at 8944 Flewellyn Rd. in Ashton, right beside Christ Church Ashton. The shop also accepts donations of gently-used, clean clothing with no repairs needed. Any funds received go toward the cost of operating the shop. The clothes are sent out to those in need at the end of each month and as required throughout the month. Your clothing donation will help others. Everyone is invited to drop into the God Has Got You Covered shop on either Sept. 9 or Sept. 30 to check out the clothing and accessories that are on sale there.

Dieppe Raid in 1942 Continued from page 23

Many later historians feel that the lessons learned at Dieppe played an important role in the success of later actions by the Allies. For example, the Dieppe Raid made the Allies improve their amphibious landing techniques; this likely helped save lives on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day in June 1944. Of the 4,963 Canadian soldiers who embarked on the Dieppe Raid, only about 2,200 returned to England — many of them wounded. A total of 916 Canadian soldiers lost their lives in the raid and almost 2,000 were taken prisoner by the Germans. Many of those captured would remain in prisoner of war camps for more than two-anda-half years. The Dieppe Raid also took a toll on the Allied ships and aircraft which supported the assault. Aug. 19, 1942, the day of the Dieppe Raid, was the Allies’ worst single day for losses of aircraft in the whole Second World War, with 119 airplanes shot down on that day.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I have put an offer on the house a few days ago, which was accepted by the sellers. The agreement was made conditional upon satisfactory home inspection. The house was only built a few years ago and we are contemplating on going through without the home inspection and waiving this condition. What rights do we have if we discover some deficiencies in the house after the closing date? Let the Buyer Beware. The law in Ontario is pretty clear “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. A proper home inspection is therefore crucial for anyone buying a resale home. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation. Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal.

Warranties and Representations. The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to provide any warranties and representations to the buyer. The buyer might try to negotiate such warranties into the agreement of purchase and sale, however this is very rare.

Vlado Hajtol was born and raised in Slovakia where he received his Master’s degree in Education.

He obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa’s Common Law program in 2011 and subsequently articled in Burlington, Ontario.

The standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a resale home used by real estate agents, the OREA form 100, does not contain any warranties in regards to a physical condition of real estate property, except for a very limited warranty related to urea formaldehyde insulation. Consequently, there are no explicit warranties given by a seller to a purchaser when it comes to the condition of a home, unless such warranties are negotiated between the parties and added into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Home Inspection A proper home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is the best way to protect yourself from any unpleasant surprises. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, it is the only way to learn what you are buying and to make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of your lifetime. It gives you an opportunity to negotiate with the seller to repair all or at least some of the deficiencies prior to closing, to lower the purchase price or to decide not to proceed with the purchase.
