Dream comes true for Main Street Community Services

Do dreams come true? Just ask Main Street Community Services. For much of the 13 years of the existence of this not-for-profit registered charity that provides services and programs for those with special needs, executive director Shelley Steinburg has wanted Main Street Community Services to have a place of its own. Efforts had been made to try to have a standalone facility rather than lease three classrooms on the second floor of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program) on Stittsville Main Street. But these efforts had not succeeded — until now. Main Street Community Services is now in the midst of relocating to premises at 1002 Beaverbrook Rd. in Kanata where renovations to its 7,000 square feet of space should be completed by the beginning of October. The new premises will be about three times the size of its previous location. And while this space is in a mall setting and is not a standalone facility, it has a community feel generated right from the mall ownership to other tenants. See SPACE BEING, page 9

Questions raised about need for Stittsville-wide BIA BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Some business people in Stittsville are worried that a push to create a Business Improvement Area in the community will end up costing them money if it ever comes to fruition but it won’t be of benefit to their businesses. At issues is the proposed boundaries for a Stittsville BIA, which some business owners say takes in too much of the community and should rather just be focused on the Main Street area of the community. “I have looked at other BIAs and they may make sense in locations that are saturated with restaurants and stores like the Byward Market or Sparks Street but I cannot see the benefit in Stittsville,” said Walter Pamic, who operates a business on Iber Road. “With all the continuous costs that we have to endure as small business owners — exorbitant hydro rates, increased wage, taxes, etc., I am not in favour of more added costs to my property bill,” he said in a communication with other business operators in Stittsville. When a proposed BIA information meeting was held at the Goulbourn Rec Complex back in July, the fact that a steering commttee working towards creating a Stittsville BIA proposed the boundary for such a BIA in essence cover all of Stittsville was one of the main areas of contention. Some who operate businesses on Iber Road, for example, see a BIA as mainly being of benefit to the businesses that line Stittsville Main
Cole Family Owned
Street. City of Ottawa economic development officer Brian Simpson attended the July 18 meeting as the city’s point man when it comes to dealing with the city’s various BIAs. Simpson told the Stittsville meeting that a BIA organizing committee has to convince him there is support in the local business community before he will recommend to the city that an official voting process within the business community is launched. “Where it is at now is we need to determine the level of interest within the business commu-
nity,” Simpson said at the time. A BIA, once established, is funded through a levy on businesses within the boundaries of a BIA, with the level of payment of each business determined by their assessed property value. The bigger the value, the bigger the levy a business pays into the BIA based on what a BIA sets as its annual budget. At this point, there would be three main areas of Stittsville that a BIA would cover — the Stittsville Main St. area, Hazeldean Rd. and Iber Rd.

On Sept. 5, the city’s finance and economic development committee presented a staff report with an update on the numerous BIAs already in Ottawa. Many of those BIAs are closeby to Stittsville as there are multiple BIAs in Kanata, as well as in Carp and in the Bells Corners area. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who supports a Stittsville BIA, says another BIA information meeting will be held this fall as at this point the effort to create a BIA in Stittsville is at the starting stage and its fate will ultimately be up to the community’s business community.

Parking emerges as a big issue in Stittsville Stittsville residents make their views known on parking changes weekend parking that include: • officially allowing street hockey, • a 45-second stopping rule for cabs, • protecting the bike boxes – stopping space allocated for cyclists, and • a move from three hours to sixhour parking on unsigned streets. A report presented to the committee summarized the responses to the city’s survey that was conducted over the summer. There were 1,971 people who responded to the online survey. The ma-
BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
When you ask Stittsville residents about parking, they sure have a lot to say. The City of Ottawa recently conducted a survey of residents tied into possible changes to parking rules on weekends, and the response rate from Stittsville was the highest in the city. Last week the city’s transportation committee approved the changes for
jority – 72 per cent – were in favour of the move to six hour weekend parking. The five communities with the largest number of responses were Stittsville, Barrhaven, Orléans, Glebe, Ottawa South and Westboro. “We got almost 2,000 responses in a month in the summer,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. If the transportation committee’s support translates into city council approval this week, that means the on-
street parking duration limit along unsigned roadways will go from a 3-hour maximum to a 6-hour maximum from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends and statutory holidays. The new rules would take effect on June 1, 2018. “Stittsville was the community with the most responses submitted from across the city,” Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said. He said the high respoinse rate in Stittsville is indicative of a community that is facing parking issues as it contunues its rapid growth spurt in recent years. “Unfortunately, I feel this truly showcases the parking issues that our

growing community is facing,” Qadri said. ‘I frequently receive complaints from residents in Stittsville regarding street parking, from both those who have received parking tickets and also those that are concerned with cars parking on their streets,” he said. “The proposed changes would be for weekends and holidays which I think is important to allow for flexibility to accommodate residents who have gatherings at their homes or are hosting guests from out of town.” — With files from Jennifer McIntosh
Naming ceremony set for library room Ceremony slated for Oct. 5 at library branch BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Grace Thompson’s dedication to her community will be forever recognized going forward when a room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library is named in her honour at a special ceremony next month. While the naming ceremony is still about a month away, Stittsville residents who want to attend the naming ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, Oct. 5, at 2 p.m., are being asked to RSVP by Sep. 22 by contacting Board@BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca as space will be limited at the event. Thompson was a local historian, author, and philanthropist. She was the first secretary-treasurer of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, was a long time member of the Stittsville Women’s Institute, was a founding member of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and was a member of the original steering committee that led to the formation of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Thompson was also one of the first volunteers at the Stittsville Public Library when it first opened back in 1973 and she continued volunteering into the 1980s. The Commemorative Naming Ceremony for the dedication of a room at the Stittsville library branch in honour of Thompson will be held at the library, which is located at 1637 Stittsville Main Street.

Deadline fast approaching for residents to think about the future BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
You still have some time left to give it some consideration, but the deadline to make suggestions on what should go into a City of Ottawa time capsule to represent Stittsville as part of a city Canada 150 project is quickly approaching. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri has previously called on local residents who want to make suggestions to contact his office, but to do so by Sept. 22. “All items must be submitted to my office no later than Sept. 22 so that they may be presented to the city archivist prior to a Sept. 29 deadline,” he said. A large stainless steel box measuring 24 inches wide by 36 inches high and 11 inches deep is on standby at the City of Ottawa’s Central Archives
Stay safe as cooler weather arrives Those who like to sit out in their backyard with an outdoor fireplace, fire pit or chiminea are being reminded that not all such heat sources are allowed. According to Sittsville Coun. Shad Qadri’s office, under the City of Ottawa’s Open Air Fire ByLaw, outdoor fireplaces that burn wood or solid fuels are prohibited in densely populated areas, including Stittsville. In Stittsville, open air fire permits are not permitted. An open air fire is the burning of material such as untreated wood, tree limbs and branches where the flame is not wholly contained and includes campfires, brush fires, burn drums, windrows and outdoor fireplaces, but does not include barbecues. Electric, natural gas, propane and oil outdoor fireplaces are permitted. Stittsville residents are also being reminded that the fire pit in Village Square Park is for the sole use of the First Stittsville Scouts and Guides and is not for personal or recreational use. — Brian Dryden
at the James Bartleman Centre in Nepean waiting to be filled with mementos from each ward. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has asked the city’s ward councillors to consult with their constituents on finding “a meaningful and unique contribution” that reflects their civic wards. Qadri calls the time capsule effort “an exciting initiative.” CELEBRATE
While Canada celebrates its 150th birthday this year, the idea behind the time capsule is to open it in 50 years when the country celebrates its 200th anniversary. The entombing ceremony for the time capsule is scheduled to take place in the rotunda at City Hall in early 2018. The box will be locked and welded shut before it is interred in its
final resting place at City Hall, which has not yet been finalized. “I’m excited about this,” Watson said. “We want it to be reflective of what the city was like back in 2017.” All Stittsville submission ideas should be sent to Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. Those making suggestions are asked to include an image of their recommended artifact if possible. “I highly encourage everyone to share some of their ideas for what represents our community as it stands today,” Qadri said. “Although I will not be the final decision-maker for this venture, I am excited to hear just what our residents feel represents the incredible sense of community and family existent within Stittsville.”

OPINION
Connected to your community
Parking needs flexibility
T
he city will soon revamp the length of time you can park on a street that does not have parking signs. It may come as a surprise to some motorists that a curb with no signs has a threehour time limit. In most cases it doesn’t matter – only if someone complains about your car does the city check up on you. Next June 1, the limit will be doubled to six hours. It seems reasonable, but clearly doesn’t go far enough. No one wants cars parked for days or weeks in the same spot, but six hours provides little benefit compared with three hours. Six hours is not the length of many workdays, so it’s not much use to anyone heading to an office for a 9-to-5 job. And six hours isn’t enough time to have a full night’s sleep. It seems the outgoing three-hour limit wasn’t enforced much anyway – a city manager reports only 33 such tickets were issued on weekends in 2016. What the city needs is short time limits in some
places and leisurely limits elsewhere. If a space is located in an area where we want to encourage parking space turnover – near a shopping area for example – stick to three hour parking, or less, during shopping times and leave it unlimited from evening to morning In other areas – suburbs, away from retail – why not allow 23 hours of parking? That would mean cars that have basically been abandoned can still be ticketed, while allowing others to park where there’s plenty of space available. We’ve all paid for roads through taxes, why not allow drivers to use them as parking spaces where things are quiet? The potential downside to six-hour limits is a reduction in parking turnover in places where parking is in high demand. It may tempt some office workers to clog up a neighbourhood for the morning, then clog it up again by moving their cars at lunchtime. Each street and each neighbourhood has different requirements, and a one-size-fits-all policy is a wishy-washy policy. It’s not clear that a six hour rule is going to be much better than the three hours we’re allowed today.
School naming will never please everyone
T
here was a back-to-school photo in the newspaper that triggered more thoughts about the school-naming controversy of the recently concluded summer. The photo showed a mother and daughter hugging at Vimy Ridge Public School in suburban Ottawa. Vimy Ridge — a new school and what a good name for it. The name celebrates one of the pivotal moments in Canadian history. There are other important events in Canadian history, other historic places and they could have schools named after them. Whether those names should replace Sir John A. Macdonald, and other famous Canadians now deemed to be flawed, is another question. But at least we can agree that Canada does not need more things named after Sir John A. There are lots of other good names out there. Or are there?

some of the issues that are at the heart of the renaming controversy. The more understanding there is, the better the chance is of righting some historical wrongs. Better historical understanding begins with increased teaching of history in schools, beginning at the elementary level and continuing. It also wouldn’t hurt to improve and broaden the teaching of politics at the high school level and attempt to increase interest in current affairs. To do so courts controversy, but the kids can handle it — if their parents can. History doesn’t have to be dull, particularly if it is taught warts and all. Sir John A. was a fascinating man, with many faults, personal and political. Those faults make him all the more fascinating — especially, perhaps, to those in schools named after him.

some people might see it as glorifying war. So there you go. Meanwhile, the search can continue for flawless Canadians to name schools after. Know anybody like that? Maybe it would be better just to name schools after trees.

Space being completely renovated but challenge now is to furnish and equip rooms Continued from page 1
This makes the space a dream come true for Steinburg and her Main Street Community Services team. “It’s just very much right” and is where we belong, Steinburg says about the new premises, noting that a community feel pervades the location. The ownership has a similar belief system relating to community service and other tenants include the Lotus Centre for Special Music Education that provides music education for those with developmental disorders, learning disabilities, and gifted profiles; a tutoring business; and even a longtime barber shop, all believers in service to the community. The only real concern that Steinburg has with the location is that Main Street Community Services could have used even more room, but there is a possibility that there could be room to expand in the future. Since deciding last June to relocate to these premises, lots has been happening. Main Street Community Services found the city of Ottawa most co-operative and supportive in facilitating its plans for the space which formerly housed three different businesses. The space had to be completely renovated, with walls erected for the various rooms such as a quiet room, a Snoezelen room which provides a stress-free environment for individuals with disabilities, a computer room,
a life skills room, a doctor’s office, and various other rooms including a kitchen and a locker room. There’s also a spacious main area. But challenges still remain because although Main Street Community Services now has expanded premises, there’s not only more to pay in rent than at its former Stittsville site but also all of the rooms still have to be furnished and equipped. The only furniture that Main Street Community Services has that will be used in the new premises is a boardroom table and eight chairs. The Snoezelen room, for example, will cost about $10,000 to equip and set up. Other specialty rooms will cost $3,000 to $4,000 each to equip and set up. The locker room, which Main Street Community Services has never had before, will cost up to $25,000 to set up. The kitchen area will cost, well, whatever a household kitchen costs these days. Main Street Community Services is currently seeking corporate sponsors to help set up these various specialty rooms. In addition, it has a GoFundMe fundraising initiative underway to try to help with some of these costs. But Steinburg makes no excuses for the costs facing Main Street Community Services in these new premises. She says that she wants to live out her full dream, meaning that she wants the special-needs youth whom Main Street Community Services serves to
have the benefit of new and complete equipment that will give them every opportunity to grow and succeed. The new premises are totally wheelchair-accessible, all on one floor. The previous premises at the former Stittsville Public School required climbing up a flight of stairs. The new premises are close to green space and a community centre is close by. Main Street Community Services will be able to hold its summer camp program at these premises because of the proximity of a pool. But although Main Street Community Services has moved from Stittsville, Shelley says that the area will remain important to the organization, not only because Shelley herself lives in Stittsville and a number of youth benefiting from its services come from the community, but also because Main Street Community Services has four residential group homes in Stittsville. Main Street Community Services now has 10 such residential group homes, with other ones being in Richmond, Carp, and Kanata. The new premises will allow Main Street Community Services not only to grow its services but also to be more efficient because of a better, more specialized environment not only for the special-needs youth being served but also for the frontline and administrative staff. Main Street Community Services expects to have a grand opening at its
new premises sometime in October. Erica Mclean, the assistant executive director at Main Street Community Services, notes that the new premises will allow the organization to expand its programs and services over time. She notes that there is definitely a need for these programs and services, especially given Main Street Community Services’ willingness to accept special-needs youth that other organizations are reluctant to take. And Main Street Community Services tries to maintain a family atmosphere and environment, something that not only was the case in its previous premises but also will continue in
its new location. “Everyone’s a family member here,” Steinburg says, rather than a client or customer. Main Street Community Services is a registered charity that provides comprehensive, research-based programs for individuals who are challenged by a disability or an exceptionality. It also offers a social learning day program, an adult day program, a developmental day program, an afterschool program, a summer camp, and a March break camp. The 10 residential homes operated by Main Street Community Services provide both full-time care and respite services.

Around village of Richmond Richmond Community 4H Club *St. Paul’s United Church is providing the meals at the Richmond Fair this year. Each year, a different church group in Richmond takes on the responsibility of providing the meals in the Dining Hall at the fairgrounds for the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the Fair. *The Richmond walking group will begin again for the fall on Tuesday, Sept. 19, right after the Richmond Fair weekend. Group members walk to music for an hour every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12 noon in the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena). Participants walk at their own pace, as fast or as slow as they want. It is up to the person. This is a great way to get some exercise while also enjoying a social time, finding out from others what’s happening in and around the village. And best of all, it is all free. This walking group program is sponsored by the Richmond Village Association. For more information, or if you have questions, please contact Coralie Bartley at 613-838-5328. *A chicken barbecue is being held at the Richmond Legion Hall on Ottawa Street on Friday, Sept. 22 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. You’ll be able to enjoy a breast of chicken with assorted salads and a homemade dessert. Cost is $15 per person. For tickets, please call Mavis Lewis at 613-838-2749. This will be the Legion’s final barbecue of the season. Steak barbecues have been held throughout the summer, with the last one slated for Friday, Sept. 15. Then things will wind up with this chicken barbecue. *Nadia Mills is the chairperson of the junior division committee for the Richmond Agricultural Society for this year’s annual Richmond Fair. Sue Getty is the vice-chairperson. Committee members include Adeline Bugden, Robbie Judd, Hailey Judd, and Katie Temple. *The Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) has a caregivers' program with meetings held on the fourth Tuesday of every month at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street. The meetings get underway at 6:30 p.m. with a speaker and refreshments. The speaker is typically done by 7:30 p.m., giving time for the caregivers present to ask questions or get advice from one another. The program is free and free respite care in the home can be provided so caregivers can attend. However, this has to be discussed and planned in advance with ROSSS. The topics and speakers are different every month. This month’s theme will be “Healthy Aging”. For more information about this caregivers program, please contact Leeanne Van der Burgt of ROSSS at 613-692-4697, ext. 243. *Cathy Craig is the chair of the fruits and vegetables committee of the Richmond Agri-
cultural Society this year, with Brenda Lindsey as the vice-chair. Committee members include Dorothy Rea, Rita Devenny, Margaret Sadler, Bev Tanner, Bill Reid, and Sandi Doleman. *Free Open Table community dinners are once again being held at St. John’s Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street. The first one will take place on Saturday, Sept. 23 with the doors opening at 4:30 p.m. and dinner being served at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend this free dinner. Future dinners will be held on Saturday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Nov. 18. *The Chapman Mills Sound Connection, a women’s chorus, is starting rehearsals for the 2017-18 season on Tuesday, Sept. 19. The group meets from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at the Minto Recreation Complex on Cambrian Road in Barrhaven. New members from Richmond are most welcome. *Former Richmond resident David Leroux moved to Kingston in association with his job with Labour Canada back in 1994. He retired about four years ago. In Richmond, he began his “Dining With David” catering business which he continued after he moved until 2001 when he was involved in a VIA Rail derailment. He was returning from labour work in Halifax, alone in the dining call, when the derailment happened in Stewiacke, NS. The dining car in which he was riding left the tracks and went through a feed mill store. It took a couple of hours to rescue him from the rubble. *Roger Chapman, a former president of the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association, is now the general manager of the Richmond Royals of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. *Wednesday night euchre parties at Rev. Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at St. Philip’s Church at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street begin again on Wednesday, Sept. 20 after a summer break. These euchres will be held every second Wednesday so the dates in October will be Oct. 4 and Oct. 18. The starting time for these Wednesday night euchres has changed from the previous 7:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The admission fee is $5 per person which includes a lunch and refreshments. New euchre players are most welcome to attend, joining the group of regulars who enjoy attending these evenings of playing cards and socializing. For more information about these euchres, please call Rita at 613-4893996. *Honourary presidents of the Richmond Fair this year are Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, mayor Jim Watson and councillor Scott Moffatt.

Stittsville News - Thursday, September 14, 2017 11
What’s up, doc, around village of Stittsville? Last year, the City of Ottawa began a review of the current City By-Laws that regulate site alteration activities. Over the last several months, City staff have engaged with local residents, farming organizations and environmental groups to create a new Site Alteration ByLaw for the City of Ottawa. The City’s goal with this new by-law is to prevent drainage problems, protect the productivity of soils in designated Agricultural Resource Areas, protect designated natural areas and other identified natural heritage features (such as significant woodlands and valleylands) from negative impacts, reduce the risk of root damage to City-owned trees or other trees protected under the City’s tree by-laws and to establish basic rules for how site alteration is done, to avoid impacts to neighbours and the environment. Ultimately, the driving force behind this proposal is the impacts on agricultural lands by those wishing to development. In some cases, we have seen land manipulation in an effort to downgrade land from agricultural to a use more compatible with development. One thing I would like to see in this by-law is an outright exemption for normal agricultural activities. That exemption doesn’t yet exist. I would encourage any landowner or resident who has an interest in site alteration activities to review the draft by-law which is available on Ottawa.ca and to provide your feedback to City staff. As always, you can contact my office to receive a copy of the draft by-law, or to provide your comments. It is very important that the City received a variety of feedback on this matter from all parties impacted.
Richmond Parks Open House On Tuesday, September 12th, I will be hosting an Open House meeting alongside our City of Ottawa Parks Planner, Jennifer Hemmings. The purpose of this open house is to outline plans for various park projects across the village. The parks included are King’s Grant Park, Richmond Lions Park and Sarah McCarthy Park. The latter is a new park being developed in the Richmond Gate community off of Nixon Farm Drive. The proposals will introduce a new mini soccer field and pathways at King’s Grant, a new lighted outdoor rink at Richmond Lions Park, and a basketball court, puddle rink and two new play structures, including an accessible structure at Sarah McCarthy Park. Ms. Hemmings and I have also heard many of the comments from Richmond residents on what they’d like to see in our parks. As a result of those comments, future planning has also begun on a new regional park in the Western Development Lands. That park has been identified for both a splash pad and a skate park. While the park planned in the Western Development Lands is a few years away, the plans for our other three parks are more imminent with much of the work taking place in 2018. The Open House will focus on these three parks and will be hosted at the Richmond Arena hall upstairs between the hours of 7:00pm and 9:00pm. As this is an open house, you can come at any time during those two hours. If you are unable to attend, I will also have the display boards with me at my Richmond Fair booth, just inside the main gate, all weekend from Friday, September 15th until close on Sunday, September 17th. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Dentist gives back with scholarships SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Stittsville dentist Dr. Ami Barakat wants to give back. That’s why he has decided to award two $8,000 scholarships to graduates of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, one for a male recipient and one for a female recipient. The first $8,000 scholarship has been presented to Hunter Knight, a graduate of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. The scholarship will help Hunter pay his tuition and for his books as he enters his second year of studies at McMaster University in Hamilton. The selection process is still underway for choosing the female recipient of a scholarship. These scholarships came about as Dr. Barakat and his wife Anne had been looking for ways to give back to the community after serving it in business for 13 years. Over that time, Dr. Barakat has supported hockey teams, has gone on mission trips and has performed pro-bono dentistry for the less fortunate, among other initiatives. Dr. Barakat, though, always wanted to help youth who may have been dealt an unfortunate hand or made one or two bad choices. He wants to help such youth become productive members of society and excel in life. Dr. Barakat has been doing dental work on young ladies at a number of Children’s Aid Society group homes since 2004, getting to know the youth involved and hearing their stories. Some of their stories have been quite heartbreaking. Knowing about the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, Dr. Barakat saw an opportunity to help youth there by providing two scholarships annually covering tuition for postsecondary education. He hopes that the scholarships will help in effecting change in the lives of recipients in the coming years. Dr. Barakat operates the Villanova Dental Studio which has two locations in Stittsville, one on Stittsville Main Street and one on Hazeldean Road. The Villanova Dental Studio offers comprehensive dental care for all aspects of dental health. Dr. Barakat has received a Forty under 40 Award from the Ottawa Business Journal. He graduated with honours from the University of Toronto faculty of dentistry and has also studied at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and at the Academy of General Dentistry. He has also attended the Las Vegas Institute for advanced cosmetic dentistry training. Working with Dr. Barakat at his Villanova Dental Studio locations are Dr. Nohe Sassi, Dr. Belal Alani and Dr. Bilal Mammah. The team at Villanova Dental Studio also includes a staff of 20 including hygienists, dental assistants and patient co-ordinators. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre was founded in 1993 by a
group led by Ottawa philanthropist Dave Smith. It provided a day drug treatment program until 2010 when it switched to offer residential and aftercare treatment for youth aged 13 to 21 years. Currently the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre operates a ten bed facility for females at a campus in West Carleton while also operating
a 14 bed facility for males at a Carleton Place location. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is now fundraising through its foundation to raise funds for construction of a new 30-bed youth treatment facility in West Carleton, combining both current programs under one roof.
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
September 14, 2017 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville Residents with Majority of Feedback on Parking By-Law Amendment On Wednesday, September 6th, the City’s Transportation Committee discussed and approved an updated Traffic and Parking By-law. This report and recommendations must now go before City Council for final approval. Included in the report is the recommendation to extend on-street parking duration limit along unsigned roadways from a 3-hour maximum to a 6-hour maximum from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends and statutory holidays. This will allow more flexibility for residents and their guests requiring greater than 3-hour parking on weekends and holidays; and allows up to 24 hours of consecutive on-street parking for overnight guests arriving after 1 p.m. Upon receiving Council approval, the updated by-law is proposed to go into effect June 1, 2018 and will also be harmonized with City and provincial legislation. The report presented to the committee summarized the responses the City received from the survey conducted over the summer. With a total of 161 votes in support and 51 votes against, Stittsville was the community with the most responses submitted from across the City. Unfortunately, I feel this truly showcases the parking issues that our growing community is facing. The current Traffic and Parking By-law was approved by the City in 2003 and since then I know Stittsville has experienced denser development and I think the parking needs of residents have also changed; particularly during the winter months. For example, I have been working with the City’s Traffic Department in tandem with the Fairwinds’ Community Association to review potential parking limitations between Dec 1st-March 31st. The majority of responses from Stittsville residents supported the weekend and holiday changes proposed. I frequently receive communications from residents in Stittsville regarding street parking, from both those who have received parking tickets and also those that are concerned with cars parking on their streets. The proposed changes would be for weekends and holidays which I think is important to allow for flexibility to accommodate residents who have gatherings at their homes or are hosting guests from out of town.

Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario is hosting two “Try Sledge Hockey” sessions at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, with everyone invited to try out the sport of sledge hockey. of excitement and challenge to a game already known for its fast pace and teamwork. In sledge hockey, the athlete sits low to the surface of the ice on top of a tubular frame. Metal runners serving as skates are attached to the underside of the sled. Picks are used to propel a player across the ice and to pass the puck. Athletes in sledge hockey wear the same hockey equipment as authorized by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Sledge hockey was designed to allow participants with a physical disability to play the game of ice hockey. It was invented in the early 1960s at a rehabilitation centre in Stockholm, Sweden. It has become one of the most popular sports in the Winter Paralympic Games. The name “sledge hockey” has been officially changed to “para ice hockey” as of Nov. 30, 2016, by the International Paralympic Committee, which serves as the international governing body for the sport. The change was made partly because of the fact that the meaning of “sledge” differs between languages. Two men from Sweden designed the sled for sledge hockey in the 1960s, because they wanted to continue to play hockey despite their physical disabilities. The sled or sledge has changed little over the years from the initial sledge that these two men designed. Competition between sledge hockey teams started in 1971, involving five teams in Europe. In 1981, Great Britain established its first sledge
hockey team, while Canada had its first team in 1982. In 1990, the United States developed its first sledge hockey team. Sledge hockey continued to expand, with Estonia and Japan icing teams in 1993. Sledge hockey became an official event at the Paralympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994. Sweden appropriately took the first gold medal for the sport. In the 1998 Paralympic Games in Nagano, Japan, Norway won the gold medal. The U.S. won the gold medal at the 2002 Paralympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Canada won the gold medal at the 2006 Paralympic Games in Torino, Italy. Essentially, all of the regular ice hockey rules for able-bodied ice hockey apply to para ice hockey or sledge hockey. Differences are those necessitated by the ice sledge and the athlete. The first set of international rules was created in 1990. The only rule unique to para ice hockey is “teeing,” which is charging an opponent using any part of the front radius of the sled. The sticks for sledge hockey have a blade curved at one end in a manner similar to regular ice hockey sticks. The stick generally has six to eight metal teeth at the opposite end of the blade for manoeuvring and propulsion. Movement is achieved by using the metal teeth as a means to grip the ice and push yourself forward. John Jacobs is the current president of the Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario. Heather Swafford is the vice-president.

It’s now the ‘Burns-Nichol Green’ SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Jack MacLaren
The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s green has been named. It is now known as the Burns-Nichol Green following a dedication ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 6 that saw a plaque unveiled proclaiming that the bowling green is being dedicated in honour of George and Shirley BurnsNichol in thanks for their service to the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club. The plaque is attached to a sizeable rock just inside the entrance to the bowling green where it can be easily seen by lawn bowlers arriving at the site. George Burns-Nichol served as president of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club from 2007 through 2016. During his tenure as president, the club grew its membership and facilities, obtained needed funding from both municipal and provincial sources, and rebuilt and expanded the lawn bowling green. George’s wife Shirley has held a variety of positions on the club executive over the years. At the unveiling ceremony, emceed by club member
Rick Nolan, George and Shirley were presented with a scroll outlining the dedication wording on the plaque. In addition, they received a certificate from city of Ottawa Stittsville ward Coun. Shad Qadri, commending them for their work and commitment to the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club. Following the unveiling ceremony,

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Alienating the Middle Class Politicians are elected to serve the interests of the people in the best way they see fit. That means it is an elected official’s job to oppose bad policy. And sometimes, it means speaking out against other levels of government. This is the first of a multipart series on how the new tax reforms proposed by the federal government will negatively impact the middle class. The same middle class they so often proclaim to fight for. These reforms have been incorrectly billed as a fix to tax “loopholes.” This language has made professionals, farmers, and other small business owners feel like they are tax cheats. The practices set to change are—and have been for a long time—legal. Not only are they legal, successive governments have encouraged these hardworking members of the middle class to take advantage of the tax code in order to save money for retirement. But now, finance minister Morneau does not want them to save for retirement. He does not want them to be able to grow their businesses or create new jobs. He just wants their money.

Toastmasters resumes weekly meetings BY MONIKA JAIN Special to the News
The Stittsville Toastmasters Club resume its regular weekly meetings on Wednesday, Sept. 6 after a summertime break which saw only a few meetings held. The Stittsville Toastmasters Club has received the highest honour from Toastmasters International, namely the President’s Distinguished Club award. The club has also marked the first anniversary of receiving its charter. In fact, the theme of the meeting was “Happy Anniversary.” Antonio Misaka served as sergeant-at-arms for this Sept. 6 meeting with Richard Cook as the toastmaster. Two prepared speeches were delivered. The first speech was presented by Lori Holloway, entitled “Plant Control — It’s time once again.” The second speech, presented by Gina Cook, was an educational speech about judging contestants. Rick Holloway led the impromptu speaking portion of the meeting, setting the stage for a camping conference where those in attendance
were either supported to introduce and market a new camping product or share their opinions about camping. Ann Seymour, Sandra Gloss and Carol Ring won the votes with the ideas that they presented related to this camping conference, with all three sharing the Table Topics trophy. The club is organizing its second annual humorous and evaluation contest set for Sept. 20. Guests are invited to attend what promises to be a laughterfilled meeting.
It should be an evening to remember. If you would like to attend or would like more information about the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, please contact Gerry Tapp at 613-721-8177 or via email at tapp.gerry@rogers. com. The Stittsville Toastmsters Club meets regular at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. The Stittsville club’s email address is contact@stittsvilletoastmasters.ca.

The summer barbecues at the Richmond Legion Hall are coming to an end for another year with just two left. Friday, Sept. 15 starting at 4:30 p.m., the usual menu will be offered — steaks, burgers, and hotdogs. Then, the following Friday, Sept. 22 starting at 4:30 p.m., barbecue chicken will be the entree. The barbecues have been very busy this year with most weeks seeing more than 100 dinners served. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work over the course of these events and to everyone in the commu-

nity who has supported us by attending. Please contact Shirley Morris at 613-838-3721 to reserve your ticket. Letting the organizers know that you will be there helps to ensure that we do not run out of salads, sides, and entrees, so please call in advance. Friday Night Darts will return under the weekly stewardship of Cathie and Tim Lytle. Registration will be on Friday, Sept. 22 and Friday, Sept. 29 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. with regular-season play starting on Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Dues remain the same at $100 for the season. You do not have to be a Legion member to play and no prior
experience is needed. Plans are well underway for the Richmond Legion’s annual Remembrance services and the annual poppy campaign will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 30 with the door-to-door canvass. This event is a very important part of the fundraising needed to support various programs for veterans and their families and everyone is welcome to come out and help with this. It is also a great way for students to earn community service hours and will be a great item to add to any application for a post-secondary Legion bursary application. Just be at the Richmond Legion at 9 a.m. on Oct. 30 and pick up a route map. A hot lunch of soup and sandwiches will be waiting for you when you complete the route. Exercise classes geared to seniors take place Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 9 a.m.; coffee is served each weekday at 10 a.m.; and euchre is played every Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. Movies are shown every second John Curry/Metroland Wednesday at 2 p.m. (check located on Ottawa Street in the website www.richmondlegion.ca for details).

In Stittsville on journey from Barrie BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
“Zach Makes Tracks� passed through Stittsville on Sept. 7. This is a journey by 13-year-old Zach Hofer to travel from Barrie to Ottawa, mainly by riding a bicycle. He walked through Peterborough, but other than that, he has ridden a bicycle. He began his journey on Aug. 13, finishing on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Sept. 10. His travel through Stittsville saw him stop at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street, where he was greeted with cheers of support and encouragement by about 100 of the school’s older students who had assembled at the front of the school to welcome Zach to Stittsville. Accompanied by two Ottawa Police cruisers, one in front and one behind, as well as by a nine-passenger motor coach which had been donated for use on the trip, Zach arrived on his bicycle. He then was greeted by Holy Spirit principal Caroline Tarrant, presenting her with a bag of wrist bands for the students. Zach then delivered a high five to each of the students who had lined the front of the school, after which he had a group photo taken with the students, with the school name on the building in the background. It had only been for the past couple of days that Zach could visit schools on his month-long journey as schools only opened for another school year on Tuesday, Sept. 5 and he had been on the road since Aug. 13.
He said that despite riding all the way from Barrie, he had not yet experienced any flat tires on his bicycle. A Grade 8 student himself, he said that the most difficult part of his journey was the public speaking role, telling onlookers and others about the project and his reason for doing it. However, he said that it had been getting easier for him as the journey progressed. His visit to Holy Spirit Catholic School provided inspiration to the students and showed the students that young people can make a difference. The students all know about Terry Fox as the school holds a Terry Fox Run, but Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope happened almost 40 years
ago now whereas this “Zach Makes Tracks� project was unfolding right before their eyes. After Zach’s visit, teachers talked to their classes about Zach’s journey and generally about mental health awareness. Zach undertook his month-long journey from Barrie to Ottawa to raise awareness and funds for a youth mental health program at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie. He had originally gotten the idea two years ago when he was 11 years old and indeed wrote the prime minister at that time telling him about the journey which he said he would be making when he was 13 years old.

Raising funds for a mental health program Continued from page 28
This letter was reproduced in a large-scale fashion on the left back section of the motor coach which was accompanying him on his journey. He was joined on his journey by his mother Shelley, his stepfather Derek Clark and his grandparents, along with the family dog. Zach wants to see a child and youth mental health program at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie because he has seen the impact of mental illness on his mother and on
schoolmates. He wanted to make a difference, emulating Terry Fox. He knows that suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth in his home area of Simcoe Muskoka and that 1.2 million Canadian children and youth are affected by mental illness, with fewer than one-quarter of them getting the health that they need. Zach wants to try to make sure that children affected by mental illness get the help that they need when they need it. When Zach passed through Stittsville on Sept. 7, he had already raised over $65,000.

Horse show at Westar Farms SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It’s a one-of-a-kind horse show and it’s happening right near Stittsville. It’s the Westar Farms Derby Day Bronze Show, which is being held on Sunday, Sept. 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Westar Farms on Fernbank Road, west of Stittsville. In this show, horseback riders ranging from age eight to age 68 will be competing in equestrian events on ponies and horses in four different show rings. A full slate of bronze circuit divisions will be held in the Carroll Cartage east and west show rings. The bronze circuit is a group of regional level competitions with most of the riders coming from Ottawa and the surrounding area. There will be classes judged on style and accuracy in the hunter ring, culminating with the Weinstein Law Hunter Classic in the afternoon. Horses and riders starting their competitive path in the jumper division will perform in the east ring in the morning. More seasoned competitors will compete for prize money, prizes and especially for the fun of it all in the afternoon, when the Mann Lawyers Hunter Derby is held. They will also be competing all day long in the Grand Prix field, the HRH Duchess Gambler’s Choice, the Ottawa Valley Large Animal Clinic Nations Cup Team Challenge and the Juniper Farms Jumper Derby. These types of classes are usually found only at national-level competitions with top level riders. This event promises to be fun, as the riders will be able to compete in a scaled-down version where a ribbon will be a bonus. For many, just rising to the challenge and participating in a unique event in front of an enthusiastic crowd will be reward enough. Westar Farms has been expanding its equestrian event facilities in recent years, with the newest addition being two sand competition rings. Ten of 12 planned events have been hosted at Westar Farms so far this season, starting in May and finishing up with the Derby Day Bronze Show on Sunday, Sept. 17 and the final in a series of grassroots development shows on Sunday, Oct. 1. The fun and educational classes in these development shows are intended for those who may just want to try a taste of horse showing, or maybe want to take a first step toward the bronze or other levels of competition. Most of the participants in the development shows are from local riding schools including many Westar Farms students. These shows end up being a fun outing for these riders. The beginner show rider division is the starting point for many as young as five years old, who are led by a coach around the ring. It is all about having fun and gaining experience. Westar Farms shows are marked on the calendars of many riders and horse lovers because of the welcoming atmosphere, attractive show grounds and friendly people. Staff and volunteers work hard to provide all the amenities competitors and spectators require, from top-quality show rings to a shady spot to sit on the bleachers at ringside and a yummy bite to eat at the refreshment booth. Sponsors are an integral part of the competition facilities at Westar Farms, providing support in the form of prize money, prizes and services. This year, Westar Farms’ new initiative of selling advertising on the show jumps in the Grand Prix field has been a big success. Some of the jumps were even designed specifically around the sponsor’s business logo colours and products. A trade fair of local vendors with horse and nonhorse products has been another feature at many of the Westar Farms shows this year. Spectators are always welcome to attend any equestrian competition at Westar Farms. Westar Farms can be checked out at its website www. westarfarms.ca.

ather was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my sister Audrey and my mother had to take over.

porridge. A pot of eggs would be simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval, and I had placed an egg cup in front of each place. Well, it didn’t take long for Emerson to complain. The porridge was like glue, there wasn’t enough cream in the pitcher, and where was the brown sugar? I ran to the ice box and refilled the pitcher, grabbed the brown sugar bowl out of the cupboard, and told him he could either eat the porridge or give it to Sport our old Collie dog waiting outside the salt pork.

School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table.

reminded us of the starving Armenians. Mother grabbed the toast, took a knife, and scraped the burnt side furiously, slapped two pieces in front of Emerson, and told him to eat up or he’d be late for school. He knew better than to argue. Mother cracked an egg, dipped her burnt toast in the yolk, and spread jam on the other piece and ate up like eating burnt toast was an every day occurrence. The smell of burnt toast hung in the kitchen as we gathered our book bags and headed out the door for school. Mother’s parting words were for Emerson. “Not one word about the burnt toast or you just might be having some for your supper tonight.” Audrey looked at Emerson with slit eyes, a warning that he better take heed, as she would be reporting back to Mother. When we got home from school, everything was in or-

der. The smell of burnt toast was replaced with the aromas coming from the oven. Supper was ready, Father was washed up, but still showed signs of his long day in the hay field, with bits and pieces stuck in his hair. Not a word was said about the burnt toast, but when Mother’s back was turned, Emerson pretended he could smell it, turning his nose in the air, and sniffing, and then making the worst face, crossed his eyes, put a hand around his neck, and let his tongue hang out, as if he was going to choke to death. Mother, who we all said had eyes in the back of her head, walked to his chair, and cuffed him on the ear, a smack that could be heard in Douglas. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Six-horse hitch in heavy horse ring Livestock shows at Fair SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
One of the highlights of the Richmond Fair will happen on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 1 p.m. in the heavy horse ring. That’s when the six-horse hitch will happen, always a crowd pleaser, as the bleachers are filled with onlookers as the wagons pulled by teams of six heavy horses pound around ring. It’s a sight that should not be missed and certainly is a memorable scene for all those who see the ring filled with these hitches. The heavy horse show runs on both Saturday, Sept. 16 starting at 9:30 a.m. and then again on Sunday, Sept. 17, starting at 9 a.m. There are classes for Belgians, Percherons and Clydesdales along with registered, draft and commercial horses. Mark Lindquist of Cameron is the judge for the heavy horse show. Barry Burchill of Nepean will be the ring steward, while Murray Graham of Embrun will serve as the announcer. Duncan MacGibbon is chair of the heavy horse committee, with Bill Cook served as the vice-chair. Committee members include Brian Crabb, Stewart Crabb, Chad Kelly, Chris Kelly and Helene Rivest. In the same vein as the six-horse hitch is the four-horse hitch in the miniature horse show on Sunday, Sept. 17.
While not quite as impressive as the six big horses going around the ring, these four-horse hitches are still quite a sight and well worth catching if you are on the fairgrounds at that time. The miniature horse show begins at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 17, with the fourhorse hitch class number 16 out of the 22 in the show. Don Morrow from Edwards will be the judge for the miniature horse show. Annika VanderPloeg of Richmond will be the announcer. Jordan Alma is the chair of the miniature horses committee, with Kathie Wells serving as the vice-chair. The judge for the saddle and harness horse show is coming from Stillwater in New York state. Connor Bryant will be the judge while Jane Mathews of Smiths Falls will serve as the ring steward. Gert Bowen of Brockville will be the ring announcer. The saddle and harness horse show will take place on Saturday, Sept. 16 starting at 9 a.m. It will include classes for registered American saddlebreds, hackney horses, hackney ponies, Shetland harness ponies, roadster horses and ponies, Arabians and Morgans. Tricia Schouten is the chair of the saddle and harness horse committee. Lorna Wilson is the vice-chair, while Jeff McCormick serves on the committee. The western horse and pony performance show will take place on Satur-
day, Sept. 16 starting at 9:30 a.m. Sheila Rondeau of Kinburn will be the judge for the show. Bob Houghton is the chair of the western horse and pony performance committee, with Michelle Roger served as vice-chair. Sheila Rondeau of Kinburn will also be the judge for the Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race on Sunday, Sept. 17, starting at 9 a.m. There will be novice, intermediate and open divisions in this show. The novice division is designed for beginner riders who are new to equestrian competition and/or the sport of extreme cowboy racing. The novice course will have 10 obstacles plus overall horsemanship and time points. An intermediate division rider is an individual who is ready to move out of the novice division, but is not yet ready to compete in the non-pro division. A rider in the intermediate division has had some competitive experience in other equestrian sports. The intermediate course will have 13 obstacles plus overall horsemanship and time points. An open division rider can have any level of experience. The non-pro course will have 13 obstacles plus overall horsemanship and time points. Bob Houghton is chair of the Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race committee. Michelle Roger is serving as the vice-chair.

The beef cattle show for Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford will take place on Saturday, Sept. 16 starting at 1 p.m., while the show for Limousin and Simmental cattle will happen on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 1 p.m. If this is not enough beef for you, there will be an open junior beef 4H showmanship show on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 11 a.m., as well as an open junior beef 4H showmanship show on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 11 a.m. Chris Lawton is chair of the beef cattle committee for the Richmond Agricultural Society.

Witches are being added to the haunting brew at Saunders Farm this fall. “The Coven,” a Salem witch-themed indoor and outdoor haunt, is the largest new haunt added at Saunders Farm at Munster in the past five years. Open during the daytime as a Witches Village and at night as a full-blown haunt, the Coven features a swamp, a forest and an old witch’s house that features a maze of rooms. And since a coven traditionally refers to a gathering of witches, you can bet just from the name of this haunt that you are going to run into numerous witches as you make your way through the house. Thrill seekers in the evenings will have a glance at the eerie two-storey witch’s house and a small graveyard as they line up for the haunt, which is set in a forested area of the farm. There will be a number of scares from sound, lighting and other special effects before reaching the witch’s house. This will include walking through a swamp area that Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm says will even feel like walking in a swamp for those passing through. There will be fog and even appropriate smells before the Coven itself is reached and the witches are encountered, guaranteed to be one spooky and scary experience. Mark Saunders explains that the Coven marks a return by Saunders Farm to a classic traditional Halloween haunt, this one related to the famous Salem witch trials in colonial Massachusetts in the 1690s when 20 people were actually executed for witchcraft. The idea of the Coven came from Mark’s conversations with a friend of his in the United Kingdom who developed a witch-themed haunt with a swamp concept. Saunders Farm has been able to add a forest setting to such a haunt idea. The Coven at Saunders Farm has
been totally constructed on the site by Saunders Farm’s own carpenters and staff. Mark himself acknowledges that the site of the Coven, located in a forested area with a swamp as well, is kind of “creepy” in itself. In the daytime, the Coven will serve as a Witches Village, providing an opportunity for young farm visitors to walk by the witches house and have their photos taken with a witch with the eerie house in the background. The scare factor will only be elevated for the evening crowd seeking thrills, and at the Coven, they are going to get them, that’s for sure. While the Coven is a major new haunt for the upcoming haunting season at Saunders Farm, there’s lots of other new attractions this year as well. The Canada 150 Corn Maze, which was opened recently at the Farm to mark Canada’s 150th birthday, has proved popular and entertaining and it will be available during haunting season. This corn maze takes up a four-acre field, featuring games and puzzles along the way for those progressing through the maze. There’s also a wooden observation bridge that’s a must-do attraction where you get a bird’s-eye view of the whole maze. All parts of Canada are represented in the maze, providing a memorable experience for families in this 150th anniversary year for Canada. Haunting Season this year at Saunders Farm is also going to feature an all new puppet show which has been written and produced by Ben Durocher of Stittsville who is currently performing in the puppet-themed musical comedy Avenue Q off-Broadway show in New York City while also working at a Jim Henson/Muppets workshop there. In addition, Haunting Season at Saunders Farm will feature an all-new original stage show, Archie in Love, this year. This stage
show has been written and will be directed by Neil Bateman, a longtime music teacher at Holy Trinity High School in Kanata who has now retired and is adding his talents to the team at Saunders Farm. There will be new street theatre shows around the grounds of Saunders Farm throughout Haunting Season. There are two new extra bouncy jumping pillows in place, replacing the two former jumping pillows. There’s a new expanded pedal cart track and the daytime and nighttime haunted hayrides both have expanded routes. This year there will be a Friday, the 13th happening during the Haunting Season (Friday, Oct. 13) and you will want to be there for that as Saunders Farm is promising a very special Friday the 13th eeks-travaganza! The Saunders Farm Haunting Season, its 26th, will run from Saturday, Sept. 23 through to Tuesday, Oct. 31 — Halloween. Ticket prices and hours of operation are available at www.SaundersFarm.com. Saunders Farm held training for its witches this past weekend while it is holding its “ghoul school” involving training for all of its 260 Haunting Season staff this coming weekend. This training will continue throughout the following week until opening day on Saturday, Sept. 23. Mark Saunders notes that Saunders Farm will have lots of pumpkins on site this year, despite the failure of the farm’s own pumpkin crop due to the excessive rainy weather this past spring and summer. Through his contacts, Mark has obtained a supply of pumpkins from around the Montreal area and these are being trucked to the farm, ensuring that there will be lots of pumpkins around, great for those Haunting Season family photos. Saunders Farm has attracted over one million visitors over the years, winning local, regional and international awards for its innovative initiatives in the agri-tourism industry. See FOREST, page 41

Scarecrows, pumpkins, gourds showcased at Richmond Fair SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Scarecrows, giant pumpkins, long gourds, and more will be showcased in the Agricultural Awareness Building at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond for this year’s annual fair. The scarecrows will be judged for originality. The scarecrows may also be mounted on a stock or can be seated. The largest pumpkin section will see entries judged according to weight. Entries can be any kind of pumpkin or squash. A longest gourd section will see entries judged by the length of the gourd. Besides scarecrows, giant pumpkins, and long gourds, there is also a section for specialty items including a display of six gourds on a tray, three miniature pumpkins, the tallest corn stalk, the largest sunflower head, and the tallest sunflower. There will also be honey on display, with various classes including
light, golden, amber, and creamed honey. In addition, there is a section for maple syrup, either amber or light. The Agricultural Awareness Building is the old former curling club building on the fairgrounds. It is home to the Richmond Fair’s Agricultural Awareness Program, which is a program to educate grade school students about food and where it comes from. The program features a number of presenters who give 10-15-minute presentations to students on specific topics related to food and agriculture. This Agricultural Awareness Program takes place on the Friday of the annual fair, with the building closed to the public until 3:30 p.m. that day. John Gil and Susan Hughes are co-chairs of the agriculture awareness committee of the Richmond Agricultural Society. Committee members are Louise Rosch and Jolijne Ubbink.

The beer will be either brew-onpremises-made or homemade. There will be a class for light beer and a class for dark beer. For the wines on display at the fair, the wines may be made from concentrates, juice, and/or fresh grapes. Country wines entered in the fair competition must be made from 95 per cent non-grape fruits. Flower and sap wines are allowed. Examples of country wine include blueberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, apple, and birch sap. There will also be sections of liqueurs at the fair, including homemade fruit liqueur and homemade non-fruit liqueurs. The wine, liqueurs, and beer committee of the Richmond Agricultural Society, which is looking after the wine, liqueurs, and beer sections and classes at this year’s Richmond Fair, includes Nigel Moorcroft as chair, Rick Todd as vice-chair, and Jim Wagdin, Courtney MacLellan and Allison Todd as committee members.

Q: My husband and I have been married for 15 years. For the past 5 years my husband has been at home taking care of our 7 year old son while I advanced my career. Upon our separation, what obligations might I have in the way of spousal support? Whether or not a person may be obligated to pay spousal support upon separation is a common concern, particularly among those who have one spouse who stays at home to care for the children or those who have a significant income disparity between the two parties. The question as to whether or not you will be obligated to pay is a complicated one that depends on many factors. There are two objectives to spousal support in Ontario: the first is compensation and the second is need. A compensatory claim is often made where one spouse needs to be “compensated” for their role in the marriage. For example, one spouse may feel they should be compensated for sacrificing their career and staying home to raise the children for the furtherance of the other spouse’s career.

the financial need which a spouse experiences after the breakdown of a relationship. In addition to these objectives, the Divorce Act sets out a number of factors that need to be considered in establishing a claim for spousal support. The answer to whether or not you would be obligated to pay spousal support is not straightforward and hinges on specific details of your relationship, income and roles taken in the marriage. In addition, spousal support can be ordered for varying lengths of time depending on the age of the parties, length of marriage, education level and whether retraining is required to enter the job market among other considerations. A family law lawyer would be able to advise you more precisely on what your obligations may be upon separation from your spouse and provide value in assisting you through the process to ensure you achieve the best outcome possible.
