It’s official now! The gymnasium at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville is now the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium.” The naming of the gymnasium after the 2016 Rio Olympics wrestling champion was approved unanimously by Ottawa city council at its meeting on Aug. 31. “I wish to congratulate Erica and the community for this incredible recognition and also to thank mayor Jim Watson and my city council colleagues for their unanimous support on my motion going forward,” city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri said after the approval.

Stittsville dog park clean up day Youth focus at ‘Oasis’ meeting Special to the News

Stittsville’s unofficial dog park is due for a clean up and you can help! A Stittsville dog park clean up day is being held this Saturday, Sept. 10 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., organized by the Responsible Dog Owners of Canada (RDOC) with everyone welcome to help out. All those who wish to help out should meet near the Trans Canada Trail at the corner of Abbott Street and Granite Ridge Drive where gloves and bags will be handed out to help you with the clean up. In addition, dog treats will be available for all those who

have turned out to help clean up this dog park where so many go to walk their dogs. Responsible Dog Owners of Canada (RDOC) is a volunteer based registered non-profit organization. This unofficial dog park in Stittsville is located south of the Trans Canada Trail and is found by taking a path that runs off the Trans Canada Trail near the intersection of Abbott Street and Granite Ridge Drive. Responsible Dog Owners of Canada held a similar Stittsville dog park clean up day last May.

Special to the News

In addition, he will talk about the importance of the emotional and mental well being of the caregivers for these youth and will talk about some strategies

and resources to help minimize caregiver burnout. The meeting will take place at the Cairn Cairn United Church at 140 Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata. There is no charge to attend and everyone is welcome to attend the meeting which will begin at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19. “The Oasis in Kanata” is a place for caregivers of those with mental illness.

Open house, BBQ to mark 30th anniversary Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will celebrate its 30th anniversary with an open house and barbecue on Monday, Sept. 26. Thirty years ago the resource centre began with $27,000, one employee and a dream of providing services for residents struggling with issues ranging from marriage breakdowns to isolation and job loss. “They had this little seed of an idea,” said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the centre for the past 15 years. Now, it’s estimated the centre reaches more than 15,000 people every year through its multiple programs and services in Goulbourn, Stittsville, Kanata, West Carleton and Nepean. The open house will feature a free barbecue, entertainment by Junkyard Symphony, activities for all ages, door prizes and networking opportunities. The event takes place on Monday, Sept. 26 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the centre, at 2 MacNeil Court in Kanata, just north of the intersection of Castlefrank Drive and Hazeldean Road. “It’s a celebration of 30 years of making a difference in the community and all the people who have had a role to play in that,” said Jordan. “Its an opportunity for the board to report back to the community about what’s been accomplished in the past year. And it’s an opportunity for people in the community to come in and learn a little bit more about what we do and how we do it. It’s a chance for people to hear about what are the resources available in your community and how easy it is to access them.” The resource centre offers a multitude of services. Last year, the centre: • Offered shelter to 156 women and children at Chrysalis House (it had to turn away 247 women due to lack of space). • Offered counselling, information and referral services to 2,271 individuals. • 229 dedicated volunteers contributed a total of 30,280 hours to the centre and its programs. • Provided 7,319 drives to seniors and adults with physical disabilities. • Provided leadership on several initiatives including the implementation of local Health Links, a new pro-

THE OTTAWA VALLEY MUSIC FESTIVAL

vincial program aimed at helping people with multiple health needs. • Supported local community groups sponsoring Syrian refugees and worked with Ottawa partners to support government-assisted refugees. • Introduced an LGBTQ+ youth drop-in called the Queerios. This group was instrumental in planning the first Pride event in Kanata and was recognized by the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative’s Growing UP Great – Safe and Caring Environment Award for their work. • Implemented a new partnership with Algonquin College and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network to open a new adult day program at the college. • Received a grant from the Rural Ontario Institute that resulted in a discussion – involving more than 300 West Carleton residents and community partners – regarding the need of seniors living in rural west Ottawa. The first meeting to formalize the creation of the Kanata Community Resource Centre was hosted by the

Kanata Inter-Church Council and attended by more than 100 people in October 1986. The centre was run out of a small strip mall near the Hazeldean Mall. Peggy Feltmate was the first employee hired and spent 15 years as executive director before Jordan took over the post. Within two years of its formation, the centre incorporated the communities of Goulbourn and West Carleton into its service area to become the Community Resource Centre of Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton, and moved to the Kanata Town Centre. In 2000-01, the centre secured the land at its current location at 2 MacNeil Court, and began drafting designs for its new building. The following year it moved in and changed its name to the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The centre merged with Nepean Support Services in 2009 and over the following two years, the building was expanded with a fourth floor.

To help combat speeding across Rideau-Goulbourn, my office purchased four Speed Boards that are deployed at different hot spots around the ward. The information collected from these units is reviewed by our Traffic Department and the Ottawa Police Service and used to determine enforcement levels. It is important to note that you can help achieve increased police presence as well. The Ottawa Police Service operates on a complaint basis when it comes to speeding. We need you to let the Police know when you witness aggressive speeding. You can report speeding through the Ottawa Police Call Centre at 613-236-1222 Ext. 7300. Call Centre agents are available seven days a week from 6:00am until 2:00am. You can also report infractions online at http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/ contact-us/Online-Reporting.asp. This link can be found on my website www.rideaugoulbourn.ca. If you would like to review data from past speed board reports, they are available on our website. If you think there is an area near you that would benefit from the deployment speed board, contact my office to let us know. Remember, to help keep our streets safe, speeding prevention begins with you. Garvin Road Construction Update This update is just to provide notice that the road closure on Garvin Road has been extended to Monday, September 19th. The closure is necessary to permit the replacement of a culvert.

One of the top concerns of residents in Rideau-Goulbourn is speeding on our roadways. Every week my office receives requests for an increase in police presence and complaints about speeding throughout our ward. While it is always important that we all feel safe while living and driving around our communities, September is a good time to remind ourselves as children head back to school.

Seventh annual 9RunRun coming up on Oct. 15 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

One of the highlights of the fall in Stittsville is coming up fast. And fast is an apt description to use because it is a running event, namely the seventh annual 9RunRun emergency services run. This year’s edition takes place on Saturday, Oct. 15, with half marathon and 10K runs happening, along with a 2K family run. Over the years since 2010, this 9RunRun has raised thousands of dollars for local organizations and charities that support mental health in the community. In 2010, the Ottawa community was shaken by the suicide of 14 year old Daron Richardson whose parents wanted to use the tragedy as a way of raising awareness and helping other youth struggling with mental illness. In cooperation with the Royal Ottawa Hospital, Do It For Daron was created as

an organization to raise money for programs supporting struggling youth and encouraging youth to talk openly about mental illness. It was around the same time that Brenda Tirrell, who is the race director of 9RunRun, was invited to speak at the Royal Ottawa about the benefits of running and its impact on both physical and mental health. It dawned on her at that time that Do It For Daron would be a great cause for runners to support and since then 9RunRun has helped raise over $100,000 for youth programs in Ottawa through its support for Do It For Daron. But 9RunRun has also become a supporter of other mental health programs, particularly with regard to support for first responders, a group that is part of the partnership that organizes 9RunRun. Reducing the stigma of mental health in the workplace and increasing access to mental health support for first responders has become more of a focus for 9RunRun in

recent years. For first responders mental health is an issue that strikes close to home as many emergency service workers encounter trauma daily, with many having to deal with the mental health consequences of those encounters. Charities and organizations helped by 9RunRun include Do It For Daron, Camp F.A.C.E.S, the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation and the Student-Athlete Mental Health Initiative. Do It For Daron is a youth-driven initiative focused on raising awareness and inspiring conversations about youth mental health. Funds raised through 9RunRun support two key initiatives of Do It For Daron: Is It Just Me? which is an educational awareness program that helps youth understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their mental health and also the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention at the Royal Ottawa Hospital. Camp F.A.C.E.S (the Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation) is a support camp for families and children of fallen emergency services workers. Camp F.A.C.E.S. tries to provide families who have suffered a tragic loss with opportunities to be with others who have experienced similar loss. The Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation’s “Hopes Rising” campaign is enhancing the hospital’s acute mental health services for adults. The Student-Athlete Mental Health Initiative is working to eliminate mental ill-

ness stigma in student sport, to facilitate access to the resources needed to maintain and improve mental health and to advocate on behalf of student-athletes experiencing mental illness. Sponsors for the annual 9RunRun event include the BMO Financial Group, Bushtukah which is a retailer of outdoor products, the broadcaster CTV, radio station New Country 94 and Spruce Creative, a marketing and communications agency. Besides the half marathon and 10K runs and the 2K family run, 9RunRun also features other associated activities. There’s the Chiefs’ Chili Cook-Off in which the chiefs of the Ottawa Police, Fire and Paramedic services compete to determine who has cooked the best chili. The race day headquarters at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street also features post-race entertainment as well as post-race food for runners. The start line for the half marathon and 10K runs is on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street. Area residents and motorists are reminded that there will be road closures associated with the 9RunRun event that will take place on the day of the race. In addition, motorists are urged to watch for runners and drive safely when near the race routes. All participants in 9RunRun will receive a medal. The 10K and half marathoners will receive long sleeved tech shirts while 2K family run participants will receive a long sleeved cotton shirt.

Fair’s demolition derby moves to Thursday Special to the News

The demolition derby, always one of the highlights of the annual Richmond Fair, is not being held on its traditional Friday night date this year. Instead, the demolition derby has been moved up a day so that it will be held on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. at this year’s Fair. This is part of an attempt by the Fair organizers to provide more activities on the grounds on the Thursday of the Fair, transforming it into a true four day event. Up until now, there has been very little going on at the fairgrounds on the Thursday of the Fair other than the traditional toonie night on the midway. This year things are different. At 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 15, Rynestone’s Magic Show will be featured on the outdoor stage. The beer garden tent beside the outdoor stage will be open as of 6 p.m. and there will be a teen dance with a DJ on the ice slab in the arena starting at 7 p.m. There will be a monster truck demonstration at 6 p.m. in the demolition derby ring, with monster trucks rolling over cars. Now that promises to be quite a sight. It’s just the thing to get into the mood for the demolition derby itself which will start at 7 p.m. And for the first time ever, the Richmond Curling Club building with all of its Homecraft exhibits will be open to the public for viewing from 4 p.m. onwards. Of course, with all of these attractions now happening, there will be gate admission charged for Thursday evening on the grounds. Friday, Sept. 16 will see a number of agricultural shows take place on the fairgrounds including the open 4H dairy showmanship show and the Holstein and Jersey dairy show. But there will be so much more. The Agriculture Awareness School Program will be underway along with children’s entertainment at Kiddyland. A lawn tractor pull will be held at 7 p.m. Besides entertainment on the outdoor stage, there will be entertainment in the arena with the Mick Armitage Band, followed by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack which was formed in 1970, which had a number of hits in the 1970’s and 1980’s and which continues to tour Canada. Two attractions that you will not want to miss on the weekend are Milord’s High Dive Aerial Show and the Birds of Prey show. Also look for the food demonstration tent which the Egg Marketing Board is providing for this year’s Richmond Fair. Only a se-

lected number of fairs in the province get to experience this food demonstration tent which will see fair-goers receive free samples while also viewing cooking demonstrations. This is a “must see” new attraction at this year’s Fair. “The food demonstration tent is very exciting,” says Homecraft president Laura Robertson. The entertainment in the arena on Saturday night will include the band Blackwell as well as the featured group Cold Creek County, a Canadian country rock band. On Saturday, Sept. 17, there will be entertainment on the outdoor stage from 12 noon onwards as well as the various agricultural shows like the saddle and harness show, the western horse and pony performance show, the commercial heavy horse show and the Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford beef show.

At 7 p.m., there will be a heavy horse pull on the grounds. Arena entertainment in the afternoon includes performers such as Marleen Fawcett and Kelli Trottier. Home cooked meals will be served in the Dining Hall from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with St. John’s Anglican Church providing the meals this year. And don’t forget that Saturday will also see the annual Richmond Fair parade which will get underway at 11 a.m. from South Carleton High School, proceeding along McBean Street and Perth Street in front of the fairgrounds. It’s always fun to watch! Sunday, Sept. 18 will be another day filled with activities and events on the fairgrounds. A new event which promises to be lots of fun to watch and even fun for teams to participate in is a tug of war which will take place in the heavy horse ring at 12 noon. This is the first time that such a tug of war has been held but it is hoped that there will be a number of teams vying for the honours of being “Richmond Fair Tug of War Champion.” Of course, this tug of war event will be taking place just before one of the Fair’s premier events, the six horse hitch class which will happen in the heavy horse ring starting at 1 p.m. Other Sunday events will include the miniature horse show, the Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race in the western horse ring, the draft heavy and 4H horse show, the 4H rabbit Achievement Day, the sheep show, the open junior 4H beef showmanship show, the Limousin and Simmental beef show and a slow tractor race in the antiques area beginning at 2 p.m.

But there’s event more. There will be a non-denominational church service at 10:30 a.m. and the outdoor stage will be the venue for lots of entertainment at the Rise 2 Fame Talent Competition will get underway there at 12 noon. And then there’s the entertainment all afternoon in the arena, featuring such entertainers as Gail Gavan and Gord Barnes. All of the Fair days will feature midway rides provided again this year by Robertson Amusements. Gate admission for this year’s Richmond Fair will be $10 per person for those aged 13 years and over; $5 for those aged 6 to 12 years of age; and free for those 5 years of age and under. Advance gate and midway tickets will be available at the Fair Office on the fairgrounds until 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14. Thirty-fuive coupons for midway rides will be available for $40. Ian Stackhouse is president of the Richmond Agricultural Society this year.

Soon We Will Have The Most Expensive Electricity In North America

D R WO NEW

with our FREE COMMUNITY CALENDAR

ottawa

The off-peak hydro rate is now 8.5 cents per kWh. Mid-peak is 13.2 cents per kWh, and on-peak is 18 cents per kWh. This means that the cost of having a shower, doing the laundry, or washing dishes has gone up more than 400% in a dozen years. The well-meaning Green Energy Act is mostly to blame. We are subsidizing expensive wind and solar energy, and neglecting our renewable hydro or nuclear power. Worse, we are selling wind and solar power to other jurisdictions well below market value.

The real new year for students New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day may be Jan. 1, but for kids over a certain age and their parents, their real new yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day is now. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to school time across the city. Most French language schools welcomed students back to class the last week of August and English language schools started this week. And with the return to school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thousands of students on the streets near schools and school buses back on our roads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once again police are reminding all of us to keep our eyes open as we go about our business in our vehicles, and that school zone speed limits are now in full force and the flashing lights of a school bus mean STOP. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think that people wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be reminded not to go speeding through a school zone, that those flashing lights on a school bus mean you must stop and that drivers need to be vigilant in watching for youngsters out and about near schools on school days, but some people need to be reminded anyway. And with new some new schools opening up this year in fast growing areas of the city, there

are some places where drivers may not be used to being in a school zone, which is yet another reason to be extra careful. That need for drivers to know where they are and be extra vigilant near schools was illuminated recently when a new signalized pedestrian crossing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; called a PXO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was unveiled on Aug. 29 on Renaud Road; the day before students went back to school at Notre-DameDes-Champs elementary school. At the opening, as several neighbourhood students and the school principal crossed the road, several cars and trucks sped through the crossing despite flashing lights signalling them to stop. If that kind of driver behaviour continues it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs. And no one wants that to happen. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all keep in mind that it is back to school time, and the excitement of the rush back to school is on. And for all the students out there, whether you want to hear this or not â&#x20AC;&#x201D;happy new year to you!

Everyone seems to be an expert on schools So theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back in school this week. Now we, the grownups can start paying attention to education again, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always good news for the kids. Grownups, having gone to school themselves many years ago, are all experts on it. Regardless of what decade we were in class, that decade was the best and this decade suffers by comparison. Teachers were strict, the curriculum was better and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that modern fiddlefaddle about this and that. Or so people say. Grandparents may be the worst. We learned to spell, we learned our times tables, we memorized the names of all the queens and kings, we diagrammed sentences and we got our sex education the traditional way, from what some older kid said out in the schoolyard.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Whereas kids today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly understand it ourselves. But it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd that there should be this gap between what schools do and what we think they should be doing because there has never been a time when parents were more involved in their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools, never been a time when there was more communication between teacher and parent. The emails go back and forth. The advisory committees meet and meet. Yet somehow the whole

process remains a mystery. Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. If parents understood more, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d meddle more. Not that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try. Ask any teacher. Ask any principal. But the schools have managed to keep their defences strong, built their walls high. The impenetrability of the school fortress is manifest in its ability to keep parents completely in the dark as to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in there. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the report cards the children bring home, in which their progress is described in boiler-plate phrases that may or may not indicate the child is doing well, may or may not indicate that the child is failing miserably. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that a lot of parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for clarification, fearing the worst.

So they become active in other ways, carefully scrutinizing the playground equipment for hitherto unrecognized dangers to life and limb, keeping an eye out for offensive reading material in the school library, scanning population trends to make sure that when schools have to close they are somewhere else. The parents are also raising money however they can to finance the equipment schools used to get as a matter of course. Meanwhile, lurking out in the population are politicians quarrelling with the curriculum, journalists and academics offering helpful suggestions, trustees and would-be trustees promising to cut the alleged fat from school budgets. Amazingly, given all the turmoil their parents go through, given all the obstacles put in the way of teachers and administrators, the kids come home pretty happy every day.

And for the luckiest of them, the neighbourhood school survives, a hub of the community, its playgrounds full of kids, bake sales and book sales in the gymnasium and cafeteria.

Annual Richmond Fair dates back to 1844 Agricultural Society was organized, with the Honourable James Skead as first president. These first fairs or exhibitions were held at Bells Corners, with a fairgrounds having buildings developed over the years. It was do-

ing quite well until the Central Canada Exhibition began at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa in 1888. Attendance at the Bells Corners site The annual Richmond Fair traces its roots dipped, while the Central Canada Exhibition back to 1844 when the County of Carleton prospered. This brought about a decision to move this county fair from Bells Corners to Richmond to the present-day location which was then known as Goodwood Park, owned by Hugh Rielly of the nearby Rielly House hotel, who rented the Goodwood Park annually for the Fair days. Despite rainy weather, something which would become a tradition regarding the Richmond Fair, this first Fair in Richmond drew a great crowd and its tenure in Richmond looked rosy. Structures on the fairgrounds in these early years in Richmond included the Agricultural building which was torn down in 1979 to make way for the new Richmond Curling Club building; a grandstand and band shell; a show ring; a race track; a secretary’s office; and a dining hall. Horse barns, slope-roofed structures, were built in a continuous line from the rear of the present arena northward to the current gateway entrance along the Huntley Road. The pig and sheep building was located near where the present “Old McDonald Farm” building stands today. Attendance at the Richmond Fair had SUBMITTED been dwindling in the early years of this This is a 1913 view of the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on fair day.

good for the Fair, which had become largely a local rather than county attraction. However, the Richmond Fair then became the location for the finals of school fairs from across Carleton County. This brought back the crowds, and by 1927, the Agricultural Society was able to purchase the 17 acre fairgrounds from Hugh Rielly for $2500. Later, new stables were built at the rear of the fairgrounds. A new grandstand, erected in 1934, was destroyed by fire in 1973. In 1944, the 100th anniversary of the Agricultural Society was held, with the Honourable George Dunbar, a native of Richmond, opening the Fair and dedicating a cairn and flagpole at the front of the fairgrounds. Cement block ticket offices at the walk-in and drive-in entrances on Perth Street were erected to commemorate this 100th anniversary. One of these cement block gatehouses was removed in the early 1980s, while the second one was removed in 1990. In 1949, the Honourable George Dunbar was present in Richmond again, this time to turn the sod at the site of the new $50,000 Richmond Memorial Community Centre building. This new building, which included a hockey rink and an auditorium, stood on land donated by the County of Carleton Agricultural Society in return for the use of the building on Fair days.

Old Town Hall moved onto fairgrounds to be dining hall Continued from page 9

On September 1, 1950, the Richmond Memorial Community Centre, built in honour of Richmond’s heroes killed in two World Wars, was opened at a ceremony attended by the Honourable George Dunbar. In 1950-51, the old Town Hall was purchased by the Agricultural Society and moved across Perth Street to serve as a new dining hall. In this move, the lower floor of the two-storey building was removed. In 1957, the 4-H Club building was erected on the fairgrounds. From 1960 until 1980, this building was also the home of the Richmond Curling Club. In 1962, the Society purchased an adjoining 2.4 acres from Harold Brown for $2,000. On September 21, 1962, an historical plaque commemorating the Richmond military settlement was unveiled on the fairgrounds. In 1973, the name of the Agricultural Society was changed from the County of Carleton Agricultural Society to the Richmond Agricultural Society. In 1974, the old Richmond Memorial Community Centre was demolished and replaced by the current Richmond arena and com-

munity centre. In 1977, new bleacher seats to accommodate 500 people were purchased in lieu of rebuilding the grandstand. These seats could be moved around the fairgrounds to accommodate the crowd watching the action in several show rings. In 1979, the Richmond Fair was elevated to be an “A” class fair, one of only 20 such “A” fairs in Ontario at the time. The elevation was based on the amount of prize money given out by the Fair in certain classes. In 1979, the Richmond Fair distributed $14,000 in prize money to exhibitors. After the 1979 Fair, the Agricultural Hall, which had stood on its site for 84 years, was demolished to make way for a new Curling Club building. The Curling Club building is used for exhibits and displays during Fair days. In 1983, the Richmond Agricultural Society erected a new 60 foot by 120 foot barn on the fairgrounds. Two of the old barns were torn down to make room for this new barn. In 1989, the Agricultural Society installed new chain link fencing at the north end of the fairgrounds. In 1990, a new sign and gate

proclaiming the Richmond Fair was erected at the main entrance to the fairgrounds. This was when the second gatehouse at this entrance was removed. 1990 was the first year for the Farm Experience tent at the Fair. This is where displays of livestock, grain and forage crops and demonstrations, such as sheep shearing, take place. 1990 was also the first year for the holding of a demolition derby at the Richmond Fair. This has remained one of the most popular events at the Fair right up to the present. 1990 also was the first year for the holding of a Richmond Fair lottery draw, with weekly early bird draws leading up to the Fair. This raffle draw continues today. 1991 was the first year that parking for the general public was prohibited on the fairgrounds itself. Public parking was provided both east and west of the fairgrounds. 1993 was the first year for a lawn garden tractor and ATV pull at the fairgrounds. After the Fair in 1993, tile drainage was installed at the fairgrounds to help dry up the fairgrounds after wet weather. In 1994, a plaque commemorat-

ing 150 years of the Fair was unveiled as was a new logo for the Fair, designed by Heather Whitbread. In 1995, new washrooms were built at the Dining Hall building. In 1997, a new heavy horse ring was constructed, which was later followed by a new western horse show ring. A highlight of the 2004 Richmond Fair was the appearance and performance of the world-famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride. The year 2005 saw the construction of a new 40 foot by 120 foot barn at the Richmond fairgrounds. The new barn was built west of the existing barns, near the intersection of the roadway leading in from the Huntley Road which runs in front of the existing barns and the roadway that runs along the west side of the light horse show ring. The barn was built for the use of both light horse show exhibitors and sheep exhibitors. The construction of this new barn was a first step by the Richmond Agricultural Society to improve the situation regarding the barns on the fairgrounds. Stalls were added to this new barn in time for the 2006 Rich-

mond Fair. The year 2006 saw a major change not to the fairgrounds but to Perth Street running in front of the fairgrounds. A major reconstruction and rehabilitation of the street undertaken by the city of Ottawa has meant new pavement, new curbs and new sidewalks. It has also resulted in erection of a brand new fence across the Perth Street frontage of the fairgrounds. New Year’s Day in 2007 saw the holding of a “New Year’s Day Warm Up” at the Richmond fairgrounds, hosted by the Richmond Agricultural Society and sponsored by D.B. Sparling Cartage Ltd. The event featured free sleigh rides with refreshments such as hot cider and hot chocolate available. The year 2006 also saw the continued growth of the Fair’s miniature horse show, making it probably the largest such show in Eastern Ontario. The Richmond Fair was the first fair in the area to hold a miniature horse show, inaugurating it in 2001. In 2007, just before the Fair, new windows were installed in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. See RECORD ENTRIES, page 11

Record entries in demolition derby in 2009 Continued from page 10

Late in 2007, the Richmond Agricultural Society began the removal of the old heavy horse stable located immediately north of the newer and larger show barn on the fairgrounds. The barn had been used for the stabling of heavy horses in recent years but it was not used at all for that purpose at the 2007 Fair. This was because the show barn, which was completely fitted with stalls, was able to accommodate up to 85 heavy horses. The barn, which was roughly 30 feet wide by 100 feet long, was leaning badly in recent years and was dark inside, making it difficult to use for heavy horse exhibitors. The old barn was taken down in stages, with the work going into 2008, with the tin removed from the exterior walls first. Then the old stalls were removed and the upper part of the barn was intentionally collapsed. The space that this old barn was occupying at the fairgrounds was used for the parking of horse trailers during the 2008 Fair. The removal of this old heavy horse stable still left three older barns on the fairgrounds, along with the newer and larger show barn and the new barn erected in 2005. The year 2008 also saw the northern area of the fairgrounds dug up so that a sewer line could be extended from Huntley Road through the fairgrounds to serve the new Hyde Park development west of the fairgrounds. This work extended through several months in the late winter and spring. The Agricultural Society also took action to prevent severe leaking which had been occurring in the old curling club building. The round steel roof had its joints covered with an expandable material meant to prevent the leaks while also expanding and contracting with the steel roofing. The Agricultural Society is also looking at tak-

ing steps to repaint this roof since its paint is peeling after just three years. This painting was done before the 2009 Fair. The Agricultural Society had been using this old curling club building for commercial exhibits at Fair time as well as for storage purposes for the rest of the year. The front of the building has been used as the Fair office. 2008 also saw a new announcer’s booth for the cattle ring thanks to the construction efforts of students at South Carleton High School in Richmond. The new booth was not completely finished for the 2008 Fair but it was used anyway. After the Fair, it was returned to South Carleton High School so that students could complete the project. SCHS students also previously constructed one of the wagons which are used to transport seniors around the grounds at Fair time. The 2008 Fair also saw the Agricultural Society combine the heavy horse and light horse show rings into one big ring for the heavy horse hitch classes, particularly the six horse hitches. This practice continued for the 2009 Fair, with a record number of six horse hitches, 12 in all, participating. The 2009 Fair, which enjoyed sunny conditions throughout and broke the attendance record set just the year before, saw a newly designed sign at the main entrance between the arena and Dining Hall. The 2009 Fair was also the first one at which the Richmond Agricultural Society received permission from the city of Ottawa to have Fair parking on the Saturday and Sunday at the adjacent Richmond Lions Park. An admission gate was set up in the northwest corner of the fairgrounds for convenient access to the Fair by those parking at Lions Park. Fair parking was also available on the east side of Huntley Road in the developing King’s Grant area. However, with new streets under

construction, this would be the last year that the area would be available for Fair parking. The 2009 Fair saw record entries in the sheep show as well as in the Demolition Derby whose popularity continues to grow each year. The 2013 Fair was a study of contrasts. The Friday saw a record crowd attend thanks to glorious sunny weather and a program that included an agricultural awareness program for students, a demolition derby and rock legend Kim Mitchell performing in the arena. This came on the heels of a Thursday evening program that featured a performance by famous Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster and her husband, an equally renowned fiddler, Donnell Leahy. But the Saturday of the 2013 saw a steady rain all day long. The parade was held with lots of umbrellas in evidence, both on the floats and among the onlookers. Outdoor activity on the grounds was virtually nonexistent. Even on the Sunday, which was dry but cool, the heavy, light and western horse shows were cancelled due to the wet grounds and fears that the horses involved could be seriously injured. For this 2013 Fair, the grounds saw interlocking stone areas installed at the rear of the Dining Hall and also at the entrance area to the Fair office in the old Curling Club building. The area directly behind the Dining Hall was re-graded with crushed rock replacing the former grass. For this 2013 Fair, the grounds saw interlocking stone areas installed at the rear of the Dining Hall and also at the entrance area to the Fair office in the old Curling Club building. The area directly behind the Dining Hall was re-graded with crushed rock replacing the former grass. In 2014, the Richmond Agricultural Society engaged Jason Lindsay to re-point the rectangular stone cairn at the front of the Richmond fairgrounds facing onto Perth Street. The cairn was erected in 1944 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the County of Carleton Agricultural Society, the earlier name of the Richmond Agricultural Society until 1973. The cairn was dedicated in a ceremony involving provincial cabinet minister the Hon. George Dunbar, a native of Richmond. See CELL TOWER, page 12

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

September 8, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Hello residents, My team and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back all of the Stittsville students to the new school year! As children head back to school, I remind motorists of the importance to be cautious, drive safe and follow the rules of the road, especially near school zones and school buses. When you see a school bus using red flashing lights, this signifies that passengers are either getting on or off the bus. Vehicles must come to a complete stop 20 meters both in front and behind the school bus until the red lights stop flashing. This rule applies for both sides of the road if the road is not separated by a median. It is important to note that there are special exceptions which may also require you to stop on both sides of the street. One of these includes Imagination Station, a day care facility located near the Amberwood Village on the corner of Hazeldean Rd and Savage Dr. Here, there is a sign indicating that you must stop in this area on both sides when you see the school bus lights flashing. This area is unique because of the daycare facility on the north side where children are bussed to. Drivers are always responsible for stopping according to the law when they see a school bus stopped with its lights flashing. Fines for not obeying this law range from $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points. I as well as the Ottawa Police Services would also like to remind motorists and pedestrians to be aware of 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; • Watch for newly installed pedestrian crossovers, know how they work and obey them when in use; • Walk on available sidewalks; • 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. Now is also a great time to go over emergency precautions as a family. Last week at council, a 13-year-old resident of Orleans received a certificate of bravery for protecting her younger brother and sister from a kitchen fire. Because her family took precautions and prepared an emergency escape plan, they were able to remain calm, aware, and most importantly - safe. Just goes to show you the importance of working together to communicate proper fire department regulations. I would like to wish all residents a safe return to their school years as we begin to say goodbye to summer weather and wave in the fall. As always, if any residents see any dangerous activity, I would like to remind them to contact their proper authorities and of course, let me know if there is anything from a City perspective you think may help by emailing me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

As many residents have requested it, I am happy to give an update regarding the new Stittsville South / Traditions II development. The City’s Planning Department have advised that in addition to the normal engineering review process associated with a subdivision application there are several additional engineering items to work through for this file. Staff advised that the challenges to overcome include items such as dealing with the Faulkner Municipal Drain and conformity with the Drainage Act, going through the front-ending process for the new Area 6 Sanitary Pump Station including its design and coordination, and the identification and resolution of interim sanitary servicing capacity constraints. Since both developments / developers share in the responsibility of advancing the above items it is necessary that they agree on these matters including the allocation of the interim capacity. In addition to the agreements required between the developers and the City, there are also approvals required by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. Unfortunately I do not have a timeline that can be provided at this time, but I am aware that the developers and City staff are working together on these items. I can appreciate that this halt in development can be difficult for both residents in the area and those that are waiting for their new homes to be built in this community. If you have any additional questions or concerns with the development site please feel free to contact me.

The cairn is adjacent to the provincial historical plaque which commemorates the Richmond Military Settlement which was founded in 1818. This historical plaque had been unveiled in 1962, with MP the Hon. R.A. Bell, MPP Erskine Johnston and Richmond reeve J. Edgar Gamble among those at the plaque unveiling. For the 2014 Fair, the heavy horse ring was enlarged, with more ring added to the north side. In recent years, the heavy horse ring had been coupled up with the adjacent light horse ring for certain classes like the six-horse hitch. The enlarged horse ring will eliminate the need to link up these two horse rings as the enlarged heavy horse ring was able to accommodate all of the heavy horse classes by itself. This expansion of the heavy horse ring also brought the entrance gate closer to the barns, eliminating a runway area where the heavy horse entries had to move through an area where spectators traditionally walked. Also for the 2014 Fair, an area of bush and brush which had grown up over the years inside the fairgrounds fence on the northern edge of the fairgrounds was removed, providing more space for parking or other activities on the grounds. The 2014 Fair saw only Holstein classes held in the dairy show as classes for Ayrshire and Jersey cattle were not held. 2014 saw the publication of the book “Richmond Fair – A Country Experience” compiled by Marlene Lowry-Greene. The book outlines the history of the Fair, going from the formation of the County of Carleton Agricultural Society in 1832 right through to the present day. The 32-page book also features several pages showing old photographs of the Fair activities as well as examples of old Richmond Fair prize list booklets and Fair passes. In 2015, a cell tower was erected in the northwest corner of the fairgrounds. In ad-

dition, a new lighted oval sign featuring the Richmond Fair logo was erected along Perth Street between the Dining Hall and the Richmond Curling Club, adjacent to the historical stone cairn and historical plaque site. The 2015 Fair saw a record number of entries, 76, in the Friday night demolition derby. The six-horse hitch class on the Sunday at the 2015 Fair saw 11 six-horse hitches entered in the class. The 2015 Fair also saw the use of ten new picnic tables which provided seating for visitors, especially at the outdoor stage area.

These new picnic tables, painted red or green or a combination of these colours, came about through the generosity of Richmond Home Hardware and a variety of Fair supporters. Richmond Home Hardware provided all of the lumber for the new tables while the steel framework for each table were provided by the generosity of various Fair supporters. A sign was placed on each table identifying the donor responsible for the frame. Each picnic table was a memorial in memory of someone special to the donor. These supporters, each responsible for a table, were Vivien Daly, Sandra and Stephen in memory of Mancel Daly; Donna Tierney and family in memory of Kevin Tierney; Barbara Hill and family in memory of Gordon Hill; Goldie Mohr Ltd. (Debbie Caldwell) in memory of mom and dad, Goldie and Mary; Cathy Craig who was Homecraft President 20072009; Carol Demjan and family in memory of Gyula Link; Mary Seabrook Munro in memory of Alastair; Gerd Lohmann who was President of the Richmond Agricultural Society 2013-2014; The Craig family in memory of Lloyd Craig; and Golden Triangle Signs. The 2015 Fair also saw the annual Fair Raffle enhanced, with 600 tickets sold at $25 per ticket, with the prize money double that of previous years.

Official naming ceremony is to come Continued from page 1

Councillor Qadri had sought and received from council approval to waive its normal rules of procedure and deal with the motion at the Aug. 31 meeting. Under normal procedural rules of city council, such a motion would have required a “notice of motion” at one meeting with the motion being dealt with at the following meeting. It would also have had to go before council’s Community and Protective Services Committee before being dealt with by council. Councillor Qadri is now working with city staff to finalize details about the naming of the gymnasium such as the location of the plaque bearing the name “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium” and also the location of any signage in the gym to identify it as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium.” Councillor Qadri is suggesting that the name would be placed at both ends of the gymnasium since at times the gym is divided into two parts. Having the name on both end walls would ensure that the name would be visible in both parts when the gymnasium is divided. An official naming ceremony will be held JOHN CURRY/METROLAND but details are still to be worked out, depenErica Wiebe wears the Olympic dent on when Erica might be back home gold medal which she won in the from Calgary where she now lives and trains. women’s freestyle wrestling 75 kg The naming of this gymnasium in honclass at the 2016 Rio Olympics. our of Erica Wiebe and her contribution to

sports and her community did not require public consultation under the city’s rules for commemorative naming since the gymnasium is located within a city facility. Naming, for instance, a street in honour of someone does require public consultation under the city’s commemorative naming policy. The naming of the gymnasium at the GRC in honour of Erica Wiebe was first announced by councillor Qadri at a “welcome home” celebration for Erica Wiebe at that very gymnasium at the GRC on Aug. 25. The crowd of over 400 in attendance erupted with loud cheers and a standing ovation when the announcement was made. This proposal by councillor Qadri was supported by mayor Jim Watson who was sitting beside Erica when the announcement was made at the ‘welcome home’ celebration. In addition, at the ‘welcome home’ celebration, mayor Watson and councillor Qadri showed Erica the plaque which had been prepared identifying the gym as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium.” Born on June 13,1989, Erica, now 27, grew up in Stittsville, attending Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street and then moving on to grade seven at Sacred Heart Catholic High School where she first wrestled in grade nine. Following high school, Erica opted to attend the University of Calgary, pursuing a

This led to Erica being a three time Canadian Interuniversity Sport wrestling champion and a six time Canadian national champion. She became a member of the Team Canada wrestling team which trains in Calgary. This gave her the opportunity to train with Canada’s top wrestlers. She was the 2014 University World Champion and the 2014 Commonwealth Games Champion. In 2014 she also won gold medals in international competitions in Germany, Sweden and the United States. At the Commonwealth Games in Scotland in July 2014, Erica won the gold medal in the women’s 75 kilogram class, winning all four of her matches in the competition including defeating a wrestler from India by pinfall to take the gold.

Golden oldies music fills the air at luncheon Special to the News

The Stittsville Legion Hall became a golden oldies jukebox at the August monthly luncheon of the Friendship Club.

One golden oldies song after another filled the hall thanks to the musical performance by the duo of Gib Rozon and Robert Dillon who provided the enter-

tainment at the luncheon. Their set list included a virtual who’s who of golden oldies hit makers from the 1950’s and 1960’s including Marty Robbins,

Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Fats Domino, Elvis Presley, Del Shannon and more. So the over 40 Friendship Club members at the luncheon heard such

iconic hits as “A White Sport Coat,” the 1957 rock ‘n roll hit by country and western singer Marty Robbins; “King of the Road,” that 1964 song about a vagabond hobo by country singer Roger Miller; “Crying,” a 1961 ballad which was a hit for American singer Roy Orbison; “Green, Green Grass of Home,” the 1966 worldwide hit for Tom Jones; Johnny Cash’s 1955 hit “Folsom Prison Blues”;”Blueberry Hill,” a 1940 song that was a 1950’s rock ‘n roll hit for Fats Domino; “Silver Wings,” a hit for country singer Merle Haggard who included the song on his 1969 album “Okie From Muskogee”; “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” a hit

for the early American rock ‘n roll group Bill Haley and His Comets which was also recorded by Elvis Presley; “It’s Now or Never,” the 1960 ballad which was Elvis Presley’s biggest selling single ever; and Del Shannon’s 1961 hit “Runaway.” The musical offerings at the luncheon also included “What A Wonderful World,” the 1967 hit for Louis Armstrong whose recording of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Gib Rozon’s imitation of Louis Armstrong’s distinctive gravely voice for part of this song added a special touch to its presentation. Three other songs presented by the Gib Rozon and Robert Dillon duo, both of whom played the guitar and who al-

ternated on the vocals, included “Beautiful Sunday,” the 1972 song by one-hit wonder Daniel Boone, an English pop musician; “Wagon Wheel,” a fairly recent song by the American string band Old Crow Medicine Show which was also a hit for American singer Darius Rucker in 2013; and “New York, New York,” the concluding song at the luncheon, which was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1979 and went on to become associated with him but which was also sung by Liza Minnelli in the 1977 Martin Scorsese film “New York, New York.” The Friendship Club holds a luncheon every month at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street, with each luncheon featuring entertainment.

Stittsville Barber Shop. The Fair Shot Program of the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa helps vulnerable kids play sports by helping with expenses such as registration fees and equipment. Fees and equipment can be expensive and can be a deterrent preventing kids from participating in sports. The Fair Shot Program tries to help families who need it the most with these expenses. “One hundred percent of the revenues raised will be going towards the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa’s Fair Shot Program,” says MP Poilievre. This is possible because the venue, the food and the activities for the kids have all been donated for the fundraiser. The Fair Shot Program helps get vulnerable youth active in playing sports, opportunities which they would not have without help from the program, says Walter Noble, executive director of the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa. “The Fair Shot Program provides kids and their families the funding needed to participate in various sporting events,” says Julie Gratton, a foster care worker with the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa. “It might be a child living with a grandparent on a fixed income or a child living with a foster parent. Seeing the kids’ faces as they receive a pair of skates or baseball equipment or learn that they will be able to take dance lessons is incredible.”

Driver dies in motorcycle crash Special to the News

A motorcycle left the road and ended up in an adjacent field, killing its 50 year old male driver Aaron Orlik. It happened on Wednesday, Aug. 31 on Jinkinson Road near Hazeldean Road west of Stittsville. The Ottawa Paramedic Service rushed to the scene after receiving a call at 1:50 p.m. At the scene, paramedics treated the male motorcycle driver, believed to be in his 40’s, for traumatic injuries. He had been found a distance away from his motorcycle. The man was found without vital signs when the paramedics arrived at the scene and was taken to hospital in critical condition where he died. Orlik was a passionate motorcyclist as evidenced by phrasing in his obituary which stated that he died “doing what he loved best.” He was predeceased by his parents Kurt and Joan Orlik and is survived by his girl-

friend Kim McCorkell, his siblings Mark, David, Julie (Fine) and Joel as well as by seven nieces and nephews and five great nieces and nephews. A memorial service was held in the chapel of the Pinecrest Visitation Centre on Baseline Road in Ottawa on Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 7 p.m. following visitation from 4 p.m. onwards. Shiva, a Judaism mourning ritual, takes place at the home of Julie Fine in Nepean on Thursday, Sept. 8 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday, Sept. 9 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Donations to the Kurt and Joan Orlik Family Fund at the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation (OJCF.ca) or to the Ottawa Humane Society would be appreciated by the family. Jinkinson Road meets Hazeldean Road where Hazeldean Road intersects with highway seven. Jinkinson Road runs parallel with highway seven for a stretch before then heading south to connect with Fernbank Road.

The Dunrobin Women’s Institute hosted a recent presentation to introduce the AROW (Arnprior Region and Ottawa West) Health Link, which serves people with complex health needs in the communities of West Carleton, Arnprior, Kanata and Stittsville. “Sixteen per cent of patients in Ontario are complex,” said Diane Dean, a client engagement representative with AROW. “They use over 80 per cent of the (health care) budget.” A complex patient is someone with four or more health conditions and includes vulnerable factors – such as being a senior, living alone, being unable to drive, or having cognitive impairments, she said. It can often be difficult for someone to keep track of all medical and emergency or clinic visits, medications and health assessments. “Health Links brings care providers together to ensure the coordination of care for

people with complex needs,” said Dean. “It puts patients and family care providers at the centre of the health system.” In many cases, when someone with multiple health issues is ill or suffers an injury they call 911, an ambulance arrives and they’re taken to the emergency department. Their primary care physician often isn’t notified, which means proper followup care doesn’t happen and the situation repeats itself, Dean said. “That’s the way it works right now and it’s very costly. (The patient is) going to take up resources, not because he wants to but because there’s nothing else available.” Health Links offers a care coordinator who links and synchronizes all aspects of a person’s medical care team so everyone remains up to date. It aims to cut down on duplication of services to offer the most immediate and beneficial care possible to keep clients healthy, said Dean. “I think of it like a bicycle wheel,” she said. The client is at the centre, the services and health professionals are the spokes, and all are linked by a care coordinator.

“It ensures patients gain quicker access to the services they need,” she said. “The link is a team built around the client. They design a care plan that works.” Currently, the AROW Health Link has about 50 complex care clients. The colead organizations are Arnprior Regional Health and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. AROW is one of eight links within the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) region, which covers Ottawa and the Valley. “It’s early days and Health Links is still developing,” said Dean. The next step is “to get the word out there.” This means talking to doctors and other health care professionals to ensure people know about Health Links, she said. Patients can self-refer to the program or request a referral from their doctor, said Dean. “But doctors need to know about this in order to refer.” For more information, visit health.gov.on.ca/en/ pro/programs/transformation/community.aspx, email AROWHealthLink@arnpriorhealth.ca or call 613-6233166,ext. 363.

CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RIVERSIDE SOUTH MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE RIDEAU RIVER STUDY AREA REVISED NOTICE OF COMPLETION In September 2008, the City of Ottawa completed the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update (MDPU) and Riverside South Community Infrastructure Servicing Study Update (ISSU) in support of the Riverside South Community Design Plan (CDP). The study was part of a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review infrastructure servicing alternatives for the Riverside South Community area of Ottawa. The final MDPU identified the preferred stormwater management alternative. In October 2012, the City of Ottawa released revised sewer design guidelines with new criteria for stormwater management and storm sewer design. In addition, changes to the City of Ottawa Official Plan are promoting increased density of development and significant land use changes. An update to the CDP was initiated in 2014 and finalized in 2016 to reflect land use, density, and transportation changes. To supplement the CDP, an update to the MDPU was completed to review the overall drainage plan for the study area that integrates with and enhances the natural environment of the study area. The update was divided into two study areas based on the receiving watercourse; directly to the Rideau River or to Mosquito Creek via proposed stormwater management facilities. This notice pertains to the MDPU Report for areas draining to the Rideau River “Rideau River Study Area” which presents an update to the existing natural environment of the study area as well as recommends a preferred stormwater management strategy for the proposed Riverside South Community. By this Notice, the 2016 MDPU is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015). Please note that only the changes proposed in the MDPU are open for review. Copies of the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update for the Rideau River Study Area are now available for reviewing at the following locations: Ben Franklin Place Client Service Centre 101 Centrepoint Drive Ottawa, ON K2G 5K7 Tel: 613-580-2400 City Hall Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2400 Ottawa Public Library – Ruth E.

ing on Wednesday, Aug. 3 approved the requested minor variances, with the 20 day appeal period now expired. At the committee of adjustment meeting, chair Martin Vervoort commented that the variances being requested seemed “very straightforward”, with the project being a fairly minor addition to the building. There was no discussion by committee members at the meeting, with the matter being dealt with by the committee in just minutes. The Lions Club is expecting a building permit for the project at any time now. The Lions Club is calling tenders for the project. The actual work may not be done until next spring rather than doing the work through the upcoming winter months.

the time. The Club had planned the project for several years and, fully aware of the great need in the village at that time for a doctor’s services, kept working away at realizing the goal with various fundraising initiatives. The downstairs of the building became the Lions Club’s meeting hall which over the years as served as the meeting place not only for the Lions Club but for community groups such as Brownies. It is also used extensively for wedding receptions as well as for family and group parties. In 1987, the Lions Club put on an addition to the Medical Centre building to accommodate the need for more office space for the doctors using the building. The basement area of this addition was made into a Lions Club lounge area which has become the site for Lions Club executive meetings, freeing up the larger Lions Hall for community use on such occasions.

Ryan Orban of Stittsville is suiting up for the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) Major Junior “A” League again this season. The 19 year old, 208 pound defenseman is one of eight defenseman named to the team’s 23-player roster for the upcoming season. This roster was announced on Sept. 1 following a three day training camp.

Thursday, Sept. 22 in Peterborough. Ryan, who wears sweater number six for the 67’s, played in 61 games for the team last season, earning five assists while achieving a plus three rating on the ice. This was Ryan’s first full season with the 67’s. He had joined the team in the previous 2014-2015 season after starting the season with the Saginaw Spirit of the OHA. That season he played 23 games with both the Saginaw Spirit and with the Ottawa 67’s. In the 23 games with Saginaw, he picked up three assists. He had no assists or goals for the 67’s in his 23 games with the team that season. In the 2013-2014 season with Saginaw Spirit, Ryan played in 42 games, picking up four assists. Ryan was chosen in the 2013 OHA entry draft, being selected number 23 in the second round.

available for use. And if you are a goalie or think that you might like to be a goalie, then this “Come Try Ringette” session is for you. Anyone who is thinking about being a goalie should attend this event as the West Ottawa Ringette Association, which is hosting this “Come Try Ringette” session, is looking for goalies, especially between the ages of 10 and 16. Representatives from the West Ottawa Ringette Association will be on hand at this “Come Try Ringette” session to answer any questions which youth or parents may have. There will also be onice helpers present to assist any new players who may need extra help or instruction on the ice. For more information, please email secretary@westottawaringette.com. The sport of ringette marked its 50th anniversary year in 2013 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 in 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 and hence the sport’s name ringette) 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 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 the player is on the move. Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck but the blueline rules force more passing. That’s why ringette is a game where skating and passing are paramount and where teamwork is a focus.

Registration is now open for the 20162017 season for the Goulbourn Basketball Association (GBA). Information can be found on the GBA website at http://www.gbahornets.com . The Goulbourn Basketball Association, home of the Goulbourn Hornets teams, offers both competitive and recreational basketball programs for youth aged 5 to 18 years old. The competitive program is for players interested in an increased level of competitive basketball as the program helps develop a player’s basketball and athletic skills to allow for the player to compete at a higher level of basketball. These Goulbourn Hornets competitive teams play against other competitive category teams as part of the Ontario Basketball Association and the Eastern Ontario Basketball Association. Teams practice in local gyms while playing home and away games throughout the city and area. At the novice (ages 8 and 9) and atom (ages 10-11) levels, the emphasis is on development of skills and enjoying the sport of basketball. Fair play and sportsmanship are emphasized. Games against other competitive teams provide an opportunity for players to learn and to grow their understanding of the fundamentals of the sport. The bantam (ages 12 and 13), midget (ages 14 and 15) and junior/juvenile (ages 16-18) teams travel to tournaments throughout the season to qualify for the Ontario Cup Provincial Championships. This higher level of competition helps players learn, develop and grow their basketball skills and knowledge. The tryouts for the Goulbourn Hornets competitive teams will be taking place in September. The recreational basketball program offered by the Goulbourn Basketball Association exposes youth in the Goulbourn community to the game of basketball, providing them with a positive atmosphere to develop as players and people. Improving basketball fundamentals in a fun environment is the focus of the program.

Ryan Goodwin is the new president of the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, taking over from Tim Sheehan who becomes the immediate past president. Jackie Kimmerly is the secretary while Tom Stephens is a Director At Large. Director – Competitive is Chris Weir. Competitive convenors are Charlene McEnery and Patti Bokij while Patti is also the Competitive ice scheduler.

The recreational program season starts in late October and runs until the end of March. There are practices one evening a week and novice, atom, bantam and midget teams play one game a week on Saturdays, starting in November. A yearend tournament in March marks the end of the season. For the recreational program, the Goulbourn Basketball Association participates in the West End Basketball League, an association of eight different area basketball associations from the west and south areas of the city of Ottawa, with the goal of having fun, developing sportsmanship and competing against others in a positive setting. The Goulbourn Basketball Association had its beginnings back in 1987 when Bob Sheppard and Bert O’Grady formed the Goulbourn Stingers bantam basketball team. It was originally formed to provide their daughters and other local girls with an opportunity to play basketball. This team earned a bronze medal at the Ontario championships that year. In 1988, Bob and Bert were joined by Doug Arnold of Richmond who wanted a place for his son to play basketball. The Goulbourn Basketball Association was created with three teams formed for the 1988-89 season – bantam girls, bantam boys and midget girls. The Association was tasked with raising funds, assisting in the operation of the three teams and administering to the needs of the coaches, players and parents involved. In the fall of 1988, the three founders – Bob, Bert and Doug – contacted other basketball organizations in the area to set up a loose organization to facilitate games between the various teams. Representatives from Ottawa, Cornwall, Hawkesbury, Kingston and Smiths Falls met in Richmond and the Eastern Ontario Basketball Association was created. This Eastern Ontario Basketball Association has now grown to involve over 20 local associations. The Goulburn Basketball Association itself has grown over the years to include both competitive and recreational boys and girls teams ranging from Small Ball to Junior, with over 500 players in total. Steve Opie is in charge of Competitive equipment while Chris St. Germain is looking after Competitive finances. Robert Smith is the Director – House. The House convenors are David Joseph for atom, Fiona Livingstone for minor midget and Craig Goodwin for midget. Cyril Rogers is the Director for Hockey Development. Tyler Nystedt is the convenor for initiation while Maggie Zobarich is the convenor for novice. Angelo Miceli is the vice-president for support services. Maggie Zobarich is the director – communications.

Richmond Fair changes Special to the News

The Richmond Agricultural Society has received many comments from friends and patrons of the Richmond Fair in response to some of the changes that have been implemented for this year’s Fair. The Agricultural Society thanks everyone for their interest and support because without this there would be no Fair. The Fair’s largest and most popular attraction, the demolition derby, has been moved to the Thursday evening, Sept. 15, starting at 7 p.m. This change has been made due to public safety concerns of the Agricultural Society. Friday evenings on the fairgrounds are busy, crowded and often this leads to issues with crowd control. The main goal of the Agricultural Society is to provide an atmosphere that is family friendly and fun. It is hoped that moving the demolition derby to the Thursday evening will help achieve this goal. Another prominent concern has been the Agricultural Society’s restriction on allowing bags and backpacks onto the fairgrounds. To clarify this, parents with children will be allowed to bring bags and backpacks onto the fairgrounds as coming to the Fair sometimes requires parents to bring many items and the best way to do that is to bring a bag or a backpack. But the Richmond Fair has experienced increased occurrences of underage drink-

ing on the fairgrounds. Efforts to reduce this liability has required the Fair to implement new measures aimed at eliminating this issue and thus the prohibition on bags and backpacks other than for parents with children. In addition, the Fair will not “hold” bags or backpacks at the gate. Regular admission prices are now going to be charged at the gate on the Thursday night of the Fair. It must be remembered that the Richmond Fair is a not-for-profit community organization which requires funds to operate and pay expenses. However, in an effort to keep the Fair affordable, the same gate admission prices are being charged this year as have been charged for the past two years. In addition, Toonie Night will run on the midway as usual on the Thursday night of this year’s Fair. The Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday admission prices for this year’s Richmond Fair are as follows: 0-5 years of age FREE; 6-12 years of age $5; and 13 years of age and older $10. There are many new and exciting events and attractions being offered at the Fair this year. Full details can be found at www.richmondfair.ca. For more information or to comment, please contact the Richmond Agricultural Society at richmondfair@sympatico.ca or at 613-838-3420.

Fundraising for Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The fundraising target for the Richmond 200th anniversary celebrations in 2018 is $100,000. This will include local fundraising initiatives as well as hoped for grants from governments at all levels. Right now the Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee has established a bank account at Richmond’s TD Canada Trust branch in which anyone can deposit money, either as a donation or from what 200th anniversary fundraising chair Tino Bevacqua terms a “grassroots” event. This could be anything from a lemonade stand to a bottle drive to a garage sale to any other innovative idea. At the April 30 launch of the 200th anniversary celebration efforts, about $20,000 had been raised

from donations, sponsorships and in-kind donations. Tino hopes to grow this to as much as $28,000 in the near future. All donations and sponsorships are formally recognized and publicized including a photo taken at the 200th anniversary recognition platform on Perth Street just east of the Richmond arena. Street banners are currently being sold. Already 11 such banners at $500 apiece have been sold and the goal is to sell 30 or 40 of them. The banner will have the name of the banner purchaser on it along with the Richmond 200th anniversary logo. Tino is challenging individual streets and neighbourhoods in the community to purchase a banner. He himself canvassed Moore Street and raised enough that Moore Street

will have a banner with its name on it. Moore Street is the first street in Richmond to purchase such a banner. Government grants are going to be sought including funds from Heritage Canada. A detailed application has to be filled out but organizers hope that at least $25,000 will be forthcoming from Heritage Canada to help fund these 200th anniversary celebrations for Richmond. The Richmond Village Association (RVA) has applied for $15,000 in funding to erect another mural on the side of the Richmond arena in 2017. The RVA also hopes that yet another second mural can be erected in 2018 pending receipt of additional funding. The Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee is still working on a possible legacy project which would flow from these 200th anniversary celebrations in 2018.

Watch for Richmond 200th anniversary memorabilia at Fair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

This upcoming Richmond Fair promises to be a good place to learn about the plans for celebrating Richmond’s 200th anniversary in 2018. The Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee will have a booth at the Fair where there will be sign-up sheets for those wishing to help organize events and also lots of 200th anniversary merchandise available for purchase, all of which would make unique gifts for anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions. Revenue generated by the sale of this merchandise will go towards helping fund the 2018 celebrations. And there will be one very special item that will be available and that is a CD of a new Richmond 200th anniversary song written and performed by Richmond’s own Doug Champagne. You will even be able to hear this song performed by Doug himself on the Richmond 200th anniversary float that will be in the annual Richmond Fair parade on Saturday, Sept. 17. Doug is donating not only his

talent but also all revenue generated from the sale of the CD to the 200th anniversary fundraising efforts. Indeed, fundraising is going to be a major focus for the 200th anniversary committee in the year 2017 leading up to the anniversary year of 2018. As Cydney Green, chair of the 200th anniversary organizing committee puts it, every event organized by the committee in the coming months and through 2017 will be geared to fundraising so that 2018 can be a time of socializing and fun with no worries about fundraising. In 2017, the organizing committee will be hosting “A Taste of Richmond” fundraiser at the Jabulani Vineyard and Winery near Richmond where all of Richmond’s restaurants and food outlets will be involved in offering examples and samples of their offerings. The year 2017 will also see a fundraising barn dance held. Such a barn dance had been planned for earlier this summer but it did not go ahead due to a concern about preparations. But things will be ironed out and all ready to go, probably in June

2017 when the “Best Dammed Barn Dance in 199 Years” will be held. There are also plans for events such as a fundraising golf tournament to be held in 2017. Capping off 2017 and beginning 2018 will be a gala New Year’s Eve Party that will mark the end of 2017 which is Canada’s 150th anniversary year and the beginning of 2018 which is Richmond’s 200th anniversary year. This will then lead into other special events leading up to a gala weekend of celebration in June. In early January, there will be a curling bonspiel at the Richmond Curling Club which will be a community events hopefully involving teams from various schools, churches, organizations and businesses in the community. February 2018 will see an event celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of Silver Stick Hockey in Richmond. March 2018 will feature a talent night of local talent while April 2018 will be when a red carpet gala will be held, premiering a movie about the history of Richmond. April that year will also see a 200th anniversary focus

for the annual Upper Jock River Canoe and Kayak Race and there will also be a “cleaning our community” campaign to get the village spic and span for the celebrations to come. May 2018 may see a second annual “A Taste of Richmond” event while June will possibly see

a variety of events leading up to the gala celebration weekend that month. Events to take place in the latter part of 2018 could include a scavenger hunt, sports tournaments or other events. All ideas are being welcomed by the 200th anniversary organizing committee at this point.

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

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

I am negotiating to purchase a business and my business advisor has strongly suggested I structure the deal as an “asset purchase”. Why is this preferable? through an asset purchase agreement. For example, if the owner of the business has been pocketing cash payments or using corporate assets for personal use, the business may be exposed to reassessments and penalties by the Canada Revenue Agency. A purchase of shares would mean that you, through the purchased corporation, are exposed those claims.

There are two principal ways to structure the agreement of purchase and sale of a business: as an asset purchase or as a share purchase. An asset purchase is just that, a purchase of listed assets without taking on liabilities of the business. A share purchase, by contrast, is the purchase of the shares of the corporation that carries on the business and owns the assets. There are a number of considerations as to which form of purchase is preferable. In this article, we want to focus on why your advisor has strongly recommended an asset purchase.

Exceptions There are some exceptions to the avoidance of liability by an asset purchase. For instance, if the purchased business employed unionized labour, a collective agreement and any ongoing liabilities thereunder will follow the purchased business, even if structured as an asset purchase. Your legal counsel can assist you to identify and understand the relevant risks and how to avoid them where possible or otherwise obtain protection.

Liability A properly structured asset purchase agreement will allow you to purchase all of the desirable assets of the business you wish to acquire while leaving out the unwanted liabilities. Your advisor has likely identified the business as one (by its nature or by the disclosure you’ve obtained) in which there are significant potential liabilities that may be avoided

They’re ‘full timers’ - Airstream trailer is their home! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

For Jim Cocke and partner Debbie Wood, their Airstream is more than just a travel trailer – it’s their home. Yes, that’s right, Jim and Debbie are what is known as “full timers” – their Airstream travel trailer is their home, year round, and has been for the past nine years. “After nine years, it’s still exciting for us,” Jim said about this travel lifestyle that he and Debbie follow as he sat in his Airstream trailer at the fall rally of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International’s Ontario Canada Unit at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond last weekend. Currently serving as International vice-president of this club for Airstream owners, Jim had been invited to attend the rally by the Ontario Unit’s president Gordon Desbarats and so he attended, representing the International club at the event. He and Debbie had not been to this part of Ontario before and so they relished the idea of travelling here. It is rare to find someplace where Jim and Debbie have not travelled in their Airstream home since 2007, as they have visited the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Alaska and all of the continental United States except for part of New England. Indeed, they hope to soon visit Quebec, the Maritimes and New England. And then what would they do? Well, just do it all again, Jim says. He says that he and Debbie enjoy their travelling lifestyle, noting that they “love the feeling of going down the road with the trailer behind us.” They usually make

no reservations of where to stop because they cherish the freedom to stop or go when they feel like it. For instance, on leaving the rally in Richmond, the pair were either going to head to Quebec followed by New Hampshire and Vermont or were going to go the other way to see Niagara Falls. They had not decided as it would be a decision made when they left the fairgrounds and turned onto the road. Jim and Debbie are both from North Carolina where Debbie was born and raised. Jim, for his part, attributes his trailering wanderlust to the fact that he was raised in a military family which moved around a lot, with no roots in any particular place. Jim and Debbie initially got a travel trailer due to their love of backpacking and exploring the Appalachian Trail, a marked hiking trail that extends from Georgia to Maine in the eastern United States. While living in North Carolina, they thought that if they had a travel trailer, they could go farther afield in exploring the Appalachian Trail. So they started looking around in the RV market, wanting something that would endure and they quite simply stumbled upon Airstreams. They fell in love with the Airstream style and quality and in 2004 they purchased a smaller trailer. They discovered that they enjoyed travelling in their Airstream on weekends and it gave them a new appreciation for travel trailers as opposed to the backpacking that they had been doing. Why sleep in a tent when you can enjoy living in an Airstream trailer, Jim explains. Jim and Debbie then discovered an Airstream club and started going to rallies, establishing friendships with other Airstreamers.

But then they met a couple who had been “full timers” with their Airstream trailer for 18 years. Jim and Debbie had not thought about such a lifestyle before this meeting but they instantly thought that full timing was a great idea. But they wanted to try it out first before committing to such a lifestyle. Could they live in such a small space, they wondered! So, after buying a new Airstream, they set out on a trial trip, a 5000 kilometer journey from North Carolina to Vancouver and back. This trip did the trick, as they realized that the full time travel trailer lifestyle was for them. There’s no lawn to cut, no leaves to rake, no snow to shovel, Jim points out. It’s just a lot of sightseeing and touring, Debbie adds.

Jim loves the freedom which the lifestyle provides. He and Debbie can hitch up their Airstream and go when they want, where they want and can stay for as long as they want. So they go south in the winter and north in the summer. They enjoy being in Canada in the summer while they spend the winters in Arizona or Florida. It is much different than owning a house and all of its obligations, Jim notes. One year after their trial trip to Vancouver and back, Jim and Debbie quit their jobs, sold their house and all its contents except for a few precious items put into storage and as of 2007 made their Airstream trailer their home. See GET MAIL, page 47

Airstream fall rally at Richmond fairgrounds John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Richmond fairgrounds became an Airstream parking lot last weekend. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the fairgrounds were the site of the 2016 fall rally for the Wally Byam Caravan Club Internationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ontario Canada Unit. Over 40 Airstream travel trailers, with their distinctive polished aluminum exterior and rounded shape, rolled into the fairgrounds throughout the day on Thursday, Sept. 1 and Friday, Sept. 2 as they set up for the rally which formally began on Friday evening with a host of scheduled activities throughout Saturday and Sunday before departure last Monday, Sept. 5, Labour Day. This rally was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Moon Over Richmond,â&#x20AC;? quite simply, as one of the rally hosts Rob Douglas of Ottawa pointed out, because a new moon was happening as the rally got underway. This rally is one of four gatherings which the Ontario Canada Unit of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International holds each year. Two are rallies such as this one which tend to be more elaborate events with a catered dinner, entertainment and a business meeting. The other two are referred to as rendezvous gatherings in which a particular destination is selected and members are invited to meet there. Last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally was not the first one held by these Airstream enthusiasts at the Richmond fairgrounds. There was a similar rally back in 2004 which attracted 78 Airstream trailers. The Ontario Unit has members from across the province with a number in the Ottawa area. It is an entirely volunteer organization. For this rally, the Ontario Unit welcomed Jim Cocke who is the international vice-president for the Wally Byam Caravan Club International which is the RV Club of Airstream owners. Rob Douglas, one of the hosts for the rally, explained that the Wally Byam Caravan Club International is a brand specific club for Airstream owners. He said that Airstream travel trailers are known for their quality and long life. A long time travel trailer owner himself, he bought his first Airstream trailer in the year 2000. It came about as he and his wife Lynn were trying to decide what kind of vehicle they were going to get for their RV retirement years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would it be a fifth wheel, a travel trailer or a motor home? They stumbled onto a London, ON Airstream dealer and were so impressed with the Airstream trailer that they purchased a 2000 model right off the lot. Their current Airstream is a 30 foot 2012 model which they purchased new at the Toronto

Hudson

RV show where they had gone to investigate upgrades to their Airstream but ended up buying a brand new unit. Rob says that while Airstream trailers weight about 8000 pounds, they are aerodynamic in design and hence â&#x20AC;&#x153;they tow light.â&#x20AC;? He says that Aistream travel trailers require virtually no maintenance, just a regular wash and a wax once a year. He explained that members of the Airstream club get to know each other and indeed can identify each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trailers as they arrive at the site of a rally or rendezvous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much like family,â&#x20AC;? he says about fellow club members. He says that Club members enjoy visiting local restaurants and stores in the vicinity of any rally or rendezvous, always wearing their identification badge so that local residents can identify them and business owners can appreciate the economic spinoff which results when a community hosts a rally or rendezvous. The next Ontario Canada Unit event will be a rally in Jordan Station which is in Niagara wine country. For Bob and his wife Lynn, they use their Airstream travel trailer in non-winter months but both are fans of winter activities so after Thanksgiving, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel south but instead they put away the Airstream and get ready for their winter activities such as snowshoeing. Rob could not say enough about the friendliness and cooperation shown towards the Airstream Club and its members by the Richmond Agricultural Society, saying that

Activities on Sunday, Sept. 4 included breakfast, news about upcoming caravan trips, aself-guided walking tour of Richmond, a group happy hour, a hot dog and corn roast dinner and the Unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting. Monday, Sept. 5 saw the serving of breakfast before the Airstream trailers departed from the grounds. Airstream trailers are manufactured in Jackson Centre, Ohio. See SILVER ALUMINUM, page 42

Silver aluminum Airstream trailers Continued from page 41

live! lansdowne

Their unique body shape dates back to the 1930’s and is based on designs created by Hawley Bowlus, who earlier in his career had overseen construction of Charles Lindbergh’s aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis. The first of the familiar sausage-shaped silver aluminum Airstream trailers was produced in 1936 under the guidance of Wally Byam who had gained control of the company. This 1936 trailer, called the “Clipper,” with its riveted aluminum body, had more in common with the aircraft of the day than with other travel trailers. Airstream today is a division of Thor Inc.

Airstream manufactures more than 2000 trailers and several hundred motor homes each year. Wally Byam is considered one of the pioneer manufacturers of travel trailers. It was after World War Two when the economy started to boom and people could turn their attention to recreational travel that the sale of Airstream trailers boomed, with Airstream becoming one of the most recognizable products in the world.

The Wally Byam Caravan Club International celebrated its 50th International Rally in 2007. The founding meeting was held in Kentville, NS in Canada in 1955.

Phil Jenkins tells about Richmond John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Soldier settlers. A Duke who died. The Rielly House hotel. Olympic golfer George Lyon. The iconic Richmond Bakery. And even a so-called “Quiet Garden.” All of these and more were part of the story of the history of Richmond woven by author and Ottawa Citizen columnist Phil Jenkins and told to those attending the Wally Byam Caravan Club International (Ontario Canada Unit) Airstream rally in Richmond on Saturday evening, Sept. 3. It all took place in the Richmond fairgrounds’ Dining Hall whose own history as initially the Richmond town hall was also highlighted in the presentation which included not only Jenkins’ verbal comments but also an accompanying series of photographs shown on a projection screen. Jenkins told how the story of Richmond started with the War of 1812, after which the British decided to establish military settlements in the area to provide a defense against any future American invasions. British soldiers were offered half pay pensions

and land if they agreed to be settlers in the area. The settlers destined for this particular military settlement named it “Richmond” in honour of the 4th Duke of Richmond who was the governor-general of Canada at the time. Arriving at Richmond Landing, a spot on the Ottawa River at Lebreton Flats below the Chaudiere Falls, these soldier/ settlers and their families eventually set out for Richmond in Aug. 1818, travelling along the new Richmond Road which had been hewed out of the surrounding forest and then up the Jock River to the identified town site at a set of rapids which would provide the water power for the community’s grist mill and sawmill needed in settling the area. In 1819, the year following the settlers’ arrival, Richmond was visited by the Duke of Richmond himself who was touring the settlements in his jurisdiction. The Duke ended up dying just outside Richmond from rabies from an earlier encounter with a pet fox. There’s a cairn now at the site of his death although he is buried in the cathedral at Quebec City. Jenkins noted that when Richmond was first settled, there was

talk that Richmond might become Canada’s capital city. However, with the arrival of Colonel John By in 1825 to begin construction of the Rideau Canal, the new town of Bytown (later Ottawa) started to grow while Richmond began to decline. Indeed, Jenkins described the ongoing Richmond settlement as a town “that had a dream that lost it to Ottawa.” He noted that a number of stone buildings in Richmond such as the Birtch Bros. store on McBean Street and the former Bank of Ottawa building at the corner of McBean Street and Strachan Street shows that those in the community anticipated great things for the future of the community, a future which never developed. Another of these stone buidlings was the Rielly House hotel on Perth Street virtually across the street from where Jenkins was speaking in the Dining Hall at the fairgrounds. He told the story about the hotel’s Edward Rielly from Ireland who had a way with horses and ended up taming a horse belonging to Hugh Bell, a Bells Corners hotelier. Edward eventually eloped to Perth with Mr. Bell’s

daughter but not before outrunning a pursuing father. Family relations later improved and Edward ended up operating the Rielly House hotel in Richmond. Jenkins also told about George Lyon, a descendant of an early settler, who won the gold medal for golf in the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis at the age of 46. He ended up being the last such gold medal winner in golf at the Olympics until this year’s Rio Olympics when golf was reinstated as an Olympic sport and a gold medal was awarded. Jenkins gave a brief history of the current Dining Hall building at the fairgrounds where his presentation took place. It began life as the community’s town hall before eventually being moved to its current site on the fairgrounds. He also told about the renowned Richmond Bakery which closed down after nearly 80 years of operation in the community. Jenkins also told about the Quiet Garden with its labyrinth which has been developed at the St. John’s Anglican Church property on Fowler Street in Richmond. Indeed, he called this Quiet Garden his favourite spot in Richmond. Following his one hour outline

of Richmond’s history, Jenkins picked up his guitar and sang two songs, each with an Airstream theme to them. “What goes past and takes your breathe away – it’s an Airstream” was one of the lyrics in the first song. And his second song also referenced Airstream trailers, including the lyric “We are going on an Airstream holiday to make our dreams come true.”

Get mail regularly, never go in a bank Continued from page 37

They hold out the possibility that they may someday have a home again and indeed have purchased property in the North Carolina mountains for just such an eventuality. But right now, their Airstream is their home as it has been for the past nine years. And their Airstream home can be a completely self-contained unit if necessary. It has battery powered lighting thanks to solar panels. It can carry 39 gallons of fresh water which provides water for over a week. Holding tanks can also be utilized. They belong to a club for “full timers” like themselves with the club providing a mail forwarding service. So they get their mail on a regular basis including a number of magazines. Jim readily admits that he has not been inside a bank in several years as he does all of his banking online and through the use of bank machines. Both Jim and Debbie are also ham radio operators which along with their phone and email keeps them in touch with everyone. Jim notes that the Wally Byam Caravan Club International in total has about 6500

members in Canada, the United States and even Europe and Australia. He said that the common denominator for members is their “shared love of the iconic brand” of Airstream. In addition, a strong camaraderie exists among members as they share ideas about their trailers and their love of travel with each other. Both Jim and Debbie are avid Airstream advocates and indeed they have toured the Airstream factory in Jackson Center, Ohio not once but several times. Airstream trailers are still largely assembled by hand at the factory.

And as for why they continue to be “full timers” with their Airstream trailer, Jim simply says that they do it because they love the lifestyle. Jim notes that the Ontario Canada Unit’s rally in Richmond last weekend was a large rally for a local unit, saying that most such local rallies attract 15 to 20 trailers. The Richmond rally had over 40 trailers in attendance. The larger turnout is because of the size of the Ontario Unit compared to some other Airstream unit clubs. THIS WEEKS SPECIAL!

Former Richmond resident at Airstream fall rally at Richmond fairgrounds John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Last weekend’s Wally Byam Caravan Club International Airstream rally at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond was different for Wendy Taylor of Kemptville than for others at the rally. Because for Wendy, it was something of what might called a homecoming because she is a former long time resident of Richmond. The former Wendy Banks, she and her late husband Chris lived in Richmond where they were involved with the Richmond Curling Club and where Chris was a leader with Richmond minor soccer. Wendy, working with the rally’s guest speaker and historian Phil Jenkins and with her own knowledge of the community, devel-

oped a self-guided walking tour of the community which was available to fellow rally participants last Sunday afternoon following Mr. Jenkins’ presentation on the history of Richmond just the evening before. Wendy is now married to Carl Taylor and both are avid Airstream travellers. They spend their summers in Canada and their winters in the United States. Carl Taylor has been an Airstream trailer enthusiast since 1992, having progressed through a number of different Airstream models until now he and Wendy travel around in an Airstream motor home, at times trailering a vehicle behind for personal use. Carl in fact has visited every state and province in his Airstream travels. Wendy has been an Airstream traveller since the year 2000.

Top honour goes to Robyn Townsend John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Ontario Horse Trials Association provincial championships were hosted in Eastern Ontario for the first time in years last weekend and it was a local rider and horse who took home the top honour. Robyn Townsend and her horse Miss Conception from the Fin de Ville equestrian facility on Bleeks Road in Goulbourn won the Open Preliminary Division at these provincial evening championships last Saturday and Sunday held at Oakhurst Farm, another Goulbourn equestrian facility located near Ashton. The Open Preliminary Division was the highest level division offered at these provincial championships and Robyn and Miss Conception led through all three eventing phases: dressage, cross country and show jumping. “I have had this mare since she was two years old,” Robyn says about Miss Conception. “I brought her up myself, from teaching her how to wear a halter and lift her feet to evening at this level.” Miss Conception, known at her home facility as Bethany K, is a ten year old Dutch Warmblood mare. She is a granddaughter of the legendary Jus De Pomme, a double gold medal winner in show jumping at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

“Bethany (Miss Conception) put in her best dressage test ever on Saturday morning,“ said Robyn who is the coach and trainer at Fin de Ville. “She has tremendous jumping form and scope and a great gallop. That showed through the cross country and show jump phases.” Robyn added that she could not be happier with her horse’s performance and that she is very proud of her. Fin de Ville is a family operated equestrian facility located on Bleeks Road east of Conley Road in Goulbourn. Robyn Townsend is a certified riding instructor who specializes in starting young horses and introducing students to the equestrian sport of evening. Robyn has been riding since she was 12 years old and was named to the Canadian eventing national talent squad in 2008. She has been a certified instructor since she was 16 years old. She has worked at large competition and sales barns in Ontario, Quebec and Florida. Fin de Ville is owned by the Townsend family – Cliff, Patty, Robyn and Michael. Fin de Ville has a large grass riding ring with both a dressage ring and a jumping ring. It also has a new 80 foot by 180 foot indoor arena so that riding can take place in all weather conditions. Fin de Ville also has a groomed 1.1 km turf galloping track for conditioning work and fun as well as a growing number of cross country jumps.

Riders having fun and loving it John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Riders like 13 year old Kyle Morton of Port Perry and 16 year old Alexa Bresnahan of Richmond have dreams of possible Olympics participation. Then there are riders like 50 year veteran Edie Tarves of Uxbridge who have been there and done that. But whether young or older, all are involved in eventing because they’re having fun and they love it. These three riders were among the more than 100 riders who participated in the Ontario Horse Trials Association provincial eventing championships at Oakhurst Farm near Ashton on Sept. 3 and 4. Eventing has three components: dressage, cross country and show or stadium jumping. Kyle Morton, who has been riding for five and a half years now, views eventing as a good test of all of the attributes needed in riding and he finds it challenging. His favourite part of eventing, though, is the cross country portion. “I just think it’s fun,” he says, deJOHN CURRY/METROLAND scribing how its exciting to get out Edie Tarves of Uxbridge holds her horse Tanners Crossing at there and jump obstacles with your Oakhurst Farm near Ashton where they competed in the Ontario horse. He acknowledges that he has Horse Trials Association provincial championships, placing first to improve on his cross country techin the Champs training open class. nique, trying to sit down more on the

horse as he tends to lean forward. But he says that he has been a lot better this year when riding both of his horses, Roxie and Darby. His goal, he says, is to ride in the 2024 Olympics. “I think I can do it,” he says. At eventing competitions like these provincial championships, Kyle says that he watches other riders in the cross country and stadium jumping phases of the event, noting their techniques and how they approach the jumps. Kyle, competing in the pre-training junior class at these provincial championships, placed fourth on one of his horses and tenth on the other. Alexa Bresnahan, who rides out of the host Oakhurst Farm, views cross country as the part of eventing that is the most fun, just like Kyle does. She says that in cross country, a rider and horse get to go fast and jump over fences, performing in their own bubble, as it were, with the horse and rider as partners in the adventure. She calls her horse Aragon a “very special horse” who loves competing in the cross country. But she admits that she also likes stadium jumping while confessing to sometimes struggling in the dressage portion of eventing.

Alexa, though, would like to get to the highest level in her sport which would include Olympic participation. See DRESSAGE, page 53

Dressage, cross country, show jumping Continued from page 52

Right now, though, she is focussed on learning all that she can such as making her turns tighter and her lines of approach more precise in the cross country and stadium jumping. Competing in her first provincial championship last weekend, she did not feel that she had any â&#x20AC;&#x153;home field advantageâ&#x20AC;? riding at her home farm at Oakhurst. She pointed out that a lot of new fences had been created for the competition, giving it all virtually a new look for Oakhurst horses and riders like herself and Aragon. Alexa has been riding for nine years, participating in eventing since the beginning. In these provincial championships last weekend, she placed second in the training junior class which was the second highest level of competition at the event. Edie Tarves, who has been riding since she was four years old and involved with eventing since she was 12, has reached the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pinnacles, riding in the 1984 Olympics as well as two world championships and the Pan Am Games. She says that she loves all three phases of eventing, namely dressage, cross country and stadium jumping. Edie is also a coach and says that her focus in teaching is to have a rider who loves what he or she is doing and also a horse that loves what it is doing as well.

Finding the right horse and rider combination who both enjoy what they are doing is a key to success in eventing in her view. Finding the right type of horse for a rider is part of this and she herself is currently involved with developing her own horse, Tanners Crossing, a big former thoroughbred race horse now in the third year of competing in eventing. She notes that the 11 year old Tanners Crossing is so big that going over the fences is easy as the horse almost literally steps over them. The challenge is getting the horse to the fences properly so that the jump is successful, she notes. Edie says that she loves the dressage component of eventing: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are training the horse,â&#x20AC;? she says with reference to dressage. Edie, who has won at these provincial championships in the past, did so again at last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships at Oakhurst Farm. She and Tanners Crossing placed first in the open training class. An eventing competition like these Ontario Horse Trials Association provincial championships at Oakhurst Farm last weekend includes three phases: dressage, cross country and show or stadium jumping. Dressage tests the balance, suppleness and obedience of the horse as well as the harmony between the

horse and rider. The horse/ rider team is required to ride through an exact sequence of movements before a judge. Cross country is the most demanding and exciting of the three phases involved in eventing, requiring the horse and rider to jump a series of fixed, unfamiliar obstacles while galloping across a course of about five kilometers in length. The course must be completed within a specified time frame. Stamina and trust between horse and rider are critical in cross country. Judgement, speed and accuracy are all required in the show jumping phase of eventing. Show jumping sees the horses jump a set combination of jumps in a stated order. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

The hot sun was beating down on my sister Audrey and me. We were on our backs in the long grass watching the soft white clouds form and reform in the mostly blue sky above. It was a favourite pastime for me. Not so much for Audrey, who went along with it because she knew how much I liked to pretend the clouds were little dogs, someone with long flowing white hair, or any number of things I could muster up in my young imagination. But that day was different. Audrey talked to me just as if I was her best friend Iva. Rarely did my older sister ever include me in serious chat. After all she was years older than I was. But that afternoon, it was like she had to get off her mind what she was thinking about. “I wish I could see the future,” she said softly. I knew there was more to come. “I would like to know what I will be doing when I am finished at the Northcote School.” I looked over at her face. Her eyes were closed. She wasn’t looking at the clouds above us. “I really want to be a nurse. Or a teacher.” I knew she would make a wonderful teacher. Didn’t she spend hours with me showing me how to knit, embroider, print in my scribbler, and go over my spelling? And as far as being a nurse was concerned, I didn’t know one living soul in all of Renfrew County who had a kinder heart. She would make a wonderful nurse. And I could picture her in her uniform, with a nurse’s cap on her brown hair, and a pin on her collar to show the world she had graduated. Audrey let out the longest sigh. I wanted to get into the conversation and so I reminded her of what our mother always said: “You can do anything you want to do, if you want to do it badly enough.” I thought that would make Audrey feel better, because she certainly didn’t seem too happy to me. But what I said didn’t seem to make her feel any better. And I told her I thought she should be a teacher and come back to the Northcote School when Miss Crosby was too old to teach anymore. “That will never happen,” she said in a voice I could hardly hear. “Well, what about being a nurse? Now, it’s the last thing I would want to be. I hate

Connected to your community

Sisters share daydreams, fears under sunny skies blood! But, Audrey, you would make a wonderful nurse.” She opened her eyes and looked at the soft white clouds moving in the sky, and I was pretty sure I could see that she was trying awfully hard not to cry. Why she would be feeling so sad on such a beautiful day was beyond me! “No, that will never happen,” she said, in a voice so low I could hardly hear her. I wanted to know why. After all, she was smart and I thought she could be anything she wanted to be, and if she wanted to be either a nurse or a teacher, all she would have to do, is go out and do it. So I asked her why. What would stop her from being either? “Because there is no money. It costs money to be a nurse, and we could never afford to send me to Teacher’s College. No, I’m afraid I’ll never be either.” Now, there really were tears. Just gently rolling down her cheeks and into her hair. I knew if I reached out and touched her, it would cause a flood, so I stayed perfectly still and waited for Audrey to say something else. Finally, there was a big sigh, and she brushed the back of her hand across her eyes. And she pointed to a huge white cloud above us, and said she thought it looked like someone riding a horse. I couldn’t see anything that resembled a horse, but I said nothing. Audrey had returned, and that was all that mattered. But long after we got up and went to do chores, I thought about what Audrey had said. Would that be my fate too? Was I destined to live out my life on a farm out in the country? And would my sister end up like so many other young girls who finished public school, working at cleaning houses for the rich people in Renfrew or married to another farmer? Was that all could happen to a child of the Depression? I knew I would not have the answer that day. I knew, like my sister Audrey, only time would determine what the future would hold for both of us, long after the Depression was behind us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

not be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between

two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories

except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and holds more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Richmond is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, exercise patience as you try to resolve a situation this week. You may have found a solution that works for everyone, but it may take time for others to adjust. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you spend much of the week daydreaming, but someone or something unexpected snaps you back to reality. Enjoy this pleasant surprise. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others interpret your focus this week as single-mindedness, and they aren’t quite sure what to make of it. Do your best to keep colleagues in the loop. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you are not a fan of instability, which is why you like to plan everything down to the smallest detail. This week you may have to loosen up a little bit. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you manage to attract attention pretty much everywhere you go this week, in spite of your efforts to be as inconspicuous as possible. Chalk it up to your magnetic personality. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are emotionally charged of late, and that is perfectly fine. It may take a few days for you to begin thinking more with your head than your heart.
