New Fright Site at Saunders Farm going to experience a lot of frightening clowns on any trip through this new Fright Site. The six Fright Sites at Saunders Farm for Haunting Season will now include not only this new Big Top Fear House but also the Haunted Hayride, the Barn of Terror, Shambles, the Graveyard and Camp Slaughter. And this year the admission will allow for guests to take unlimited trips through each or all of these six Fright Sites. Talk about a great deal! It’s absolutely frightening! And you’ll have more time to enjoy these Fright Sites as Saunders Farm is extending its hours of operation on Friday and Saturday nights this year to 11 p.m. And don’t forget as well that ticket pricing for this year’s 25th Haunting Season has been simplified with significant discounts available at www.SaundersFarm. com. But this new Fright Site is only part of what Saunders Farm is doing for its 25th Haunting Season this year.

Twenty-five years now of providing Halloweenthemed haunted attractions. Impressive. Halloween visitors are among the more than one million guests who have visited Saunders Farm at Munster. Popular. And now this fall there will be a sixth Fright Site introduced. Scary but fun! This new Fright Site will be “The Big Top Fear House,” which will be open at night during Saunders Farm’s 25th Haunting Season. It is being marketed as the Farm’s most terrifying “fright site” and definitely not a place for anyone with coulrophobia. With what, you say? Coulrophobia? Yes, that’s the fear of clowns and with the name “The Big Top Fear House,” you can guess that you’re

Haunting Season Continued from page3

Between April and September, Saudners Farm offers its Mazes Season which features the world’s largest collection of hedge mazes and labyrintghs. Mazes Season also involves birthday parties, farm camps, farm dinners, corporate events and team building sessions. During this time the Farm also hosts weddings. But it is in late September and throughout October that Saunders Farm holds its annual Haunting Season which is the city of Ottawa’s largest fall festival.

Rezoning being sought for corner Continued from page 1

A zoning bylaw amendment has been submitted to the city of Ottawa to rezone the site from its current Rural Countryside Zone to a General Mixed Use Zone which would permit such future commercial development on the site. The development, as now envisioned, would involved 5,511 square metres of retail space which would include a 3,720 square metre grocery store, a 1,278 square metre retail store, a 513 square metre retail store and a 550 square metre restaurant. A concept plan shows the grocery store in the western portion of the site while the two retail buildings would be in the northeast portion of the site along Shea Road. The restaurant would be located south of the two retail buildings. The site would contain a total of 331 parking spaces. Access to the site would be from both Fernbank Road and Shea Road. Right now there is only a concept plan for the site. A more detailed site plan will be required by the city for the site before any development could proceed. The rezoning being sought for the site

would permit the development as proposed including the grocery store, retail stores and restaurant. Other residential and institutional uses would also be permitted by the rezoning. A demonstration plan prepared for these development lands south of Fernbank Road which have been included in the city’s urban area identifies this site for commercial uses. The site was once within the rural area but now has been added to the urban area and designated as Developing Community (Expansion Area) under the city’s Official Plan. Fotenn Consultants Inc. is acting for property owner William Davidson on this zoning bylaw amendment application. Development review planner Mike Schmidt of the city’s Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department is handling the application for the city. He can be contacted by phone at 613580-2424, ext. 13431 or via email at Mike. Schmidt@ottawa.ca. Any comments about the zoning bylaw amendment should be submitted to Mr. Schmidt by Thursday, Sept. 29.

Four Stittsville residents receive Sovereign’s Medal John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Four from Stittsville have received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers. This is an official national honour which recognizes remarkable volunteer achievements of Canadians across the country in a wide range of fields. Receiving the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers from Governor General the Rt. Hon. David Johnston at a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on Wednesday, Sept. 7 were Stittsville residents Allison Adam, Ferzana Qadri, Theresa Qadri and Linda Schumacher. They were among 46 recipients from the National Capital and Eastern Ontario region to receive the award at the ceremony. This Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers incorporates and replaces the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award, building on the legacy and spirit of the Caring Canadian Award by honouring the dedication and commitment of volunteers. Allison Adam of Stittsville

has been assisting both young and older residents in her community for over 17 years through her involvement with Ecole St. Jean-Paul II, Holy Spirit Catholic Church and the Stittsville Food Bank. Her efforts have helped increase accessibility to food and nutritional resources as well as to various social services. Ferzana Qadri of Stittsville is dedicated to making the Stittsville Food Bank’s resources more accessible to clients as the Food Bank’s director of client services. She fulfils various roles from training volunteers to organizing donation drives to delivering food items. Theresa Qadri of Stittsville, as chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, helps with food collection and distribution, has expanded community education and engagement and helped establish a summer garden to provide Food Bank clients with fresh produce. Linda Schumacher of Stittsville has been involved as a volunteer with several organizations over the past 16 years in such roles as fundraising, communications and event

planning in addition to oneon-one support for those in need. Her efforts have helped establish government-fund hospice services in the area and have helped improve health care access in Eastern Ontario. Any person who is a Canadian citizen and who has made significant, sustained and unpaid contributions to his or her community in Canada or abroad is eligible to be nominated for this Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers. Nominees must have demonstrated an exemplary commitment through their dedicated volunteerism. Anyone can nominate a volunteer for this award by submitting an online nomination at caring.gg.ca. Nominations are accepted on an ongoing basis. The Chancellery of Honours, part of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General, administers the program. Each nomination is carefully researched and then reviwed by an advisory committee which then makes recommendations to the Governor General. See PRESENTATION, page 6

Presentation at Rideau Hall Con’t from page 5

Presentation ceremonies like the one at Rideau Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 7 are held throughout the year in communities across Canada. The actual Medal for Volunteers consists of a silver circular medal that is 36 mm in diameter with a suspension ring. The obverse depicts a contemporary effigy of the Sovereign, circumscribed with the inscription in capital letters of the Canadian Royal Title and the word “CANADA”, separated by two maple leaves. The reverse indicates the ideas of caring and generosity, represented by two interlaced hearts. The sunburst pattern of the rim symbolizes the time that volunteers are giving and their actions. The ribbon uses the vice regal colours of blue and gold. The five gold stripes evoke the fingers of the hand, present in the Caring Canadian Award emblem, while the deep red colour is associated with royalty.

Tickets are being sold in ‘Warrior Pride’ quilt raffle You could win a hand-made eco-cotton queen-sized quilt valued at $1,000 while also helping support the Bell Warriors Football Club. Tickets for this “Warrior Pride” quilt raffle are being sold at all Warriors home games this season as well as online at http:// bellwarriors.ca/product/warriors-quilt/. Tickets are available at $5 per ticket or three for $10. The draw will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 1. There are only 500 tickets being sold so prompt action is advised if you want to be part of this fundraiser quilt draw. All of the proceeds will be directed to support player fees to keep them affordable for all players. The quilt for the raffle has been donated by Diane Forsyth of Bells Corners who is a Warrior parent as well as the Football Club’s videographer, a role in which she spends the major of her weekends in the fall filming Warrior football games for all four of the Warriors tackle foot-

ball teams. Another fundraising initiative by the Bell Warriors this fall is the sale of tickets to a couple of Ottawa REDBLACKS home games, namely on Friday, Oct. 7 against the Saskatchewan Roughriders and on Monday, Oct. 17 against the Hamilton Tiger Cats. These tickets will be available at a 20 percent discount and each ticket sold will raise money which will be directed to Warriors players in need. For more information about the sale of REDBLACKS tickets, please email info@bellwarriors.ca. The Bell Warriors Football Cub, which was founded in 1955, offers football programs for youth from the communities of Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Britannia, Bayshore and Bells Corners. This now includes both boys and girls aged 8 to 19 years old. For more information about the Bell Warriors program, please email info@bellwarriors. ca or check out the website at www.bellwarriors.ca.

Installation of new officers for Stittsville Lionettes John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Stittsville Lionettes began yet another year with an installation of officers ceremony at the Lions Hall in Stittsville last Friday, Sept. 9. This was the annual installation night for the Lionettes, a group formed to support the Stittsville District Lions Club in its work while also having fun together as a group. Marilyn Southall is the Lionettes president for the coming year. She takes over from Georgette St. John who becomes the immediate past president. Other officers installed by installing officer Jack Burke, a past

Lions District Governor, were Helen Burke as first vice-president, Marilyn Broomer as second vice-president, Marie Armstrong as secretary, Clare Redtman as treasurer and Debbie Carson as tail twister. Stittsville District Lions Club president Wayne Beaten, who was a special guest at this installation of officers ceremony for the Lionettes, praised the Lionettes for their service in the community. He said that he believes that volunteers who answer the call such as the Lionettes do are what makes a community work. He wished the Lionettes much success in the coming year. In her remarks at the ceremony, outgoing president Georgette St.

John thanked all of the Lionettes for their support during the past year, noting that the group had accomplished a lot during this past year. She mentioned the new vests which the Lionettes members now have and which they will be wearing at various events in the future. Georgette noted that the Lionettes was formed not only to support the Lions Club but also to have fun, telling how at her birthday celebration his past year, all of her fellow Lionettes jokingly wore sunglasses to offset the glow from the many candles in the cake. Georgette formally presented the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gavel to incoming president Marilyn Southall, signifying the transfer of the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

presidency to the new president. The Lionettes presented outgoing president Georgette with a bouquet of flowers in appreciation for her leadership during the

past year. The Lionettes also presented Georgette with a photo taken at this past yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lionette rally which showed the Stittsville Lio

OPINION

Connected to your community

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never too old to learn

he cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public school is a democratic institution. Sort of. We have Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; publicly elected in a democratic system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem keen on keeping the process so democratic. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence from current and past trustees that a clique sets the agenda and determines the proper outcome of votes before the public sits down to watch the debate. One of those former trustees has suggested students and parents would be better served by a school board made up of appointed trustees. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea worth considering. The people willing to put their name on the ballot to serve as trustee are clearly committed individuals. They must all arrive at the board table wanting children to excel. But things start to fall apart quickly when the demands of different parts of the city start pulling trustees in different directions. Trustees are elected in geographic zones, and the parents in each zone have diverse expectations. Trustees are forced into parochial decisions in order to keep local parents

happy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even when those decisions are not the best thing for students across the board. Appointed trustees could instead be specialists, without the geographic push and pull. They could be selected by the province for their experience, such as the ability to run a large committee. A financial wiz could be put in charge of understanding and explaining the budget, and members with real estate and construction experience could deal with expansion plans. As it stands today, incoming trustees have to learn these skills as they go. An appointed board would not be as democratic as a public vote every four years, but then again, in the most recent municipal election, some public board trustee zones saw turnout below 36 per cent. And even among those voters, who can say they made an informed vote? The best case scenario would see the province approve a pilot project, and try an appointed school board in one municipality for one term. It could turn out well or it could be scrapped, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea worth trying. If the goal is to give our children the best possible education, nothing should be off the table.

Seems like no one wants to stay up late these days

report has come out suggesting the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arenas are being under-used. If you understand how the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought processes work, you know that no good can come out of this. Already there is talk of streamlining and consolidating and building gleaming new structures. And if you understand how city thought processes work you know what this means: the arena near you is going to be shut down and some mega multipurpose thingy is going to be put up that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to drive halfan-hour to get to. You will be able to get a lattÃ© there, though. Before we mourn, as many will, the death of that cold, dark building that smelled of hot chocolate and the cigarettes of yesteryear, it is interesting to

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town look at the reason all this will be happening. The major factor seems to be that Canadians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay up late any more. According to reports in local media, the people who rent ice time donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to do so before 6 p.m. and they especially donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to do so after 9 p.m. So there is some pretty good ice time going begging and there is a hole in the parks and recreation budget where rent the money from all those late-night beer leagues used to go. It is sad to think of us as a

people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay up late to play hockey, but the trend has been heading in this direction for some time. There was a reminder last week with the announcement of the CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter Mansbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imminent retirement. This provoked a flood of reminiscences about the CBC national news, and with it a reminder that The National, as it came to be called, was shifted to 10 p.m. from 11 p.m. in 1982. The comparison with the present day is quite startling. Before 1982 Canadians, if they wanted the CBC to tell them what was going on, had to sit up past 11 p.m., even later if they wanted the local news and weather. And they did. CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratings were pretty good in those days. Nowadays thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need.

CBC news is on at 10 and you can get it at 9 if you want to go to the all-news CBC channel. For that matter, you can read it online a lot earlier than that and hit the hay around the time the sun sets. News junkies are not the only Canadians who seem to need their sleep. Earlier start times are the rule rather than the exception in many areas of life. Local concerts that used to start at 8 now start at 7 or 7:30. So do most theatre performances. Even on Broadway some shows now start at 7 p.m. and the others start at 8 p.m., a change from the celebrated 8:30 p.m. of yore. What does this mean? Are we more health conscious, more aware of the need to get more sleep with less beer preceding it?

Annual Kidney Walk in Stittsville ville Main Street in the fourth annual Kidney Walk, raising funds in support of the Kidney Foundation of Canada – Eastern Ontario Chapter. The walkers left the Walk’s starting point at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road at 11:15 a.m., with the on-site band “Moxnix” at the starting point getting into the walk-

Special to the News

The words for the 1966 hit song by Nancy Sinatra “These boots were made for walkin’” could be tweaked just a bit in reference to the Sept. 11 Kidney Walk in Stittsville. How about the title “These feet were made for walkin’”? That’s what happened as over 60 participants of all ages travelled along Stitts-

ing spirit by launching into the 1960’s folk revival song “500 Miles” as the walkers made their way towards Stittsville Main Street and the trek to Papa Sam’s at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Beverly Street, the turnaround point in the Walk. “500 Miles” could be considered a walking song in that it tells the lament of

a traveller far from home with its lyrics “But I would walk 500 miles/And I would walk 500 more/Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles/To fall down at your door.” This song has been recorded by many over the years including Glen Campbell, Reba McEntire, Elvis Presley, Joan Baez and even Justin Timberlake as well as

the Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary, both in 1962. But song or no song, many of the walkers had arrived at Papa Sam’s by 11:45 p.m. and then started the journey back to the church to complete the 5K walk. At the starting point at the Stittsville United Church, before the Walk began, Rev. Grant Dillenbeck said that all of those involved with the Kidney Walk were helping to build a strong community. He told the story of Bill Graham of Stittsville who

celebrated his 50th birthday on Sept. 8. This birthday had special meaning for Bill because when he was suffering from kidney disease, he had been told that he probably would not see his 50th birthday. However, thanks to a kidney transplant from his wife Marianne who happened to be a kidney match for him, Bill is alive and well today and indeed took part in the Kidney Walk along with his wife Marianne, one of the Walk’s organizers.

Marianne Graham, a kidney donor and one of the organizers of last Sunday’s Kidney Walk in Stittsville, speaks to the crowd before the walk begins.

Walk in support of Kidney Foundation of Canada a success Con’t from page 10

Marianne led the walkers in a brief warm up session, moving the hips, swinging the arms and punching the air. It was very dance-like and indeed the band, right behind Marianne, played some appropriate dance/ warm up music to go with these movements, adding to the energy of the moment. Sunny conditions prevailed for the most part dur-

ing the Walk. The weather was cooler than it had been in recent days and a noticeable wind was blowing but walking conditions were good as the line of walkers, some wearing blue t-shirts and others wearing orange tshirts and others something different altogether, moved its way along the Stittsville Main Street sidewalk. Among the walkers was city of Ottawa Stittsville ward

councillor Shad Qadri. After the Walk, the walkers enjoyed a BBQ back at the Stittsville United Church, while also being entertained by the band “Moxnix.” It was Fun Day Sunday at the church as well, with inflatables such as a bouncy castle set up for the enjoyment of youngsters. A fire truck from Station 81 in Stittsville was also on hand at the starting area.

Antiques exhibited must be at least 50 years old and each exhibitors is to supply a written statement giving the item’s historical interest and its approximate age.

Wine, liqueur and beer will all be there – it could be a party! But it’s not going to be for drinking but rather for viewing as wine, liqueur and beer will be the focus for one of the classes in the Homecraft Department’s exhibits in the Richmond Curling Club building at this year’s Richmond Fair. In the wine competition in this class, there are sections for white table wine from concentrate; white table wine from fresh fruit or juice; rose table wine; red table wine from concentrate; red table wine from fresh fruit or juice; country wine, white sweet wines including ice wine; and red sweet wines including ice wine. In these wine sections, wines may be made from concentrates, juice and/or fresh grapes. Single variety wines will contain 100 percent of the grape variety named. Blended wines will be identified as to the percentage of each variety in the blend and will contain no more than 75 percent of a dominant grape or fruit variety. Red table wines entered in these sections will be dry with an alcohol content of 10 percent to 13 percent. The colour will range from light red through ruby and garnet. White table wines on display will be dry wines with an alcohol content of 9 percent to 11 percent. The colour will range from clear to straw and golden. Sweetness may be evi-

dent in the taste but the sugar should not be noticeable before the fruity character of the wine. Rose table wines on display will have an alcohol content of 9 percent to 12 percent, The colour will range from pale pink to orange to very pale red. Rose wines generally lack the acidity of white wines and the complexity and dryness of red wines. Country wines on exhibit will be made from 95 percent non-grape fruits. This could include flower and sap wines. Alcohol content of these wines will be 9 percent to 12 percent with a sweetness range from dry to sweet. Typical examples could include blueberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, apple and birch sap. There will also be a “Best of Show” wine identified as well as the best overall white wine and the best overall red wine. In the liqueur competition in this class, there is a section for homemade fruit liqueurs and another section for homemade non-fruit liqueurs. In the beer competition in this class, there is a section for light beers and another section for dark beers. Members of the Homecraft Department committee looking after this class for wine, liqueurs and beer at this year’s Richmond Fair include Rick Todd as chair, Jim Wagdin as vice-chair and Donald Sadler, Earl Sadler, Allison Todd, Courtney MacLellan and Nigel Moorcroft. The class is sponsored by Donald Sadler and William Reid.

In 2012, my office hosted a number of Town Hall meeting to mark the midway point of the Council term.

They are general in nature and I welcome anyone who wishes to discuss any topic. Some meetings may serve as opportunities to discuss specific issues in depth. For instance, our main focus in Burritt’s Rapids will be on traffic enforcement along Donnelly Drive and Dwyer Hill Road. At our Manotick meeting, I will be facilitating a specific conversation about David Bartlett Park. The meeting dates, listed below, will also be distributed in a mailed out newsletter and through advertising in our local newspapers. The meeting dates are as follows:

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

Wynne Wasting Time Kathleen Wynne prorogued the Ontario Parliament in order to start over with a new throne speech. The throne speech is meant to setup a new narrative for the Government after an embarrassing defeat in the recent by-election in Scarborough-Rouge River. After 13 years of denial, she claims the Government has to do something about the enormous cost of hydro. Although I’m open to hearing about any hydro relief the Government proposes, it’s shameful that it took a loss in Scarborough-Rouge River for this Government to act. This is the same Government that has faced five criminal investigations by the Ontario Provincial Police. It’s the same Government that has slashed health care services. It’s the same Government that has increased the public debt to $300-billion. Families and business have been struggling with exorbitant hydro costs for more than a decade. The Government’s proposal just seems too little too late.

Household Hazardous Waste Depot on September 18th Residents can drop off their hazardous waste at a Household Hazardous Waste Depot on Sunday, September 18th, from 8:00am to 4:00pm, at Tunney’s Pasture, Sir Frederick Banting Driveway.

Residents are reminded that this depot is for household waste only (maximum 100 litres). No commercial waste will be accepted. To keep our waste collection operators and our environment safe please do your part by safely disposing of hazardous household waste such as used needles, propane cylinders and pool chemicals. If you are unable to attend the depot, some hazardous materials can be returned to local retailers involved in the Take it Back program any day of the week during regular operating hours. The City hosts several Hazardous Waste Depots at locations across the city throughout the year. For information about upcoming dates, visit ottawa.ca/hhw.

Rosemoor Garden to be featured at Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society meeting On Tuesday, Sept. 20 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The September meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society will be like a quick trip to England. Taking the short drive to the 7:30 p.m. meeting at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville on Tuesday evening, Sept. 20 will see you end up in North Devon, England. Now, that’s travelling at its best – quick with no airport security checks involved! While you won’t actually be leaving the Pretty Street Community Centre in body, your mind and spirit indeed will be travelling to North Devon, England as Horticultural Society member John Soar will be telling you about his visit to the Rosemoor Garden there. The Rosemoor Garden is a public display garden, one of four major gardens run by the Royal Horticultural Society. Rosemoor Garden today covers 26 hectares (65 acres) and includes a visitor centre, a library, a plant centre, a shop, a restaurant and a tea room. In 2009 Rosemoor Garden, which opened to the public in 1990, saw nearly 130,000 visitors. The garden has two very distinct areas. One area is the original garden developed by Lady Anne which is a diverse collection of plants in an informal setting. The other part of the area is the “new” garden which is a formal decorative area in a woodland setting. It was Lady Anne Berry, daughter of the late Robert Horace Walpole, the fifth Earl of Orford, who created the original eight acre garden in 1959 and developed it over the following 30 years. The garden developed in a naturalistic style with sweeping lawns and curving borders set out as the plantings ex-

panded. The garden was first opened to the public in 1967 and with an associated nursery became known for rare and unusual plants. By the 1980’s the garden was attracting a significant number of visitors. It was in 1988 that Lady Anne (then Palmer) gave the garden to the Royal Horticultural Society along with an additional 32 acres of land. In the mid 1990’s, 37.5 hectares of woodland surrounding the site was added to the garden. Horticultural features of the garden today include a rose garden with about 2000 rose plants, an arboretum and herb, fruit and vegetable gardens. The Royal Horticultural Society was founded in 1804 in London, gaining the “Royal” name designation in 1861. The Royal Horticultural Society states its purpose as being the encouragement and improvement of the science, art and practice of horticulture in all its branches. It promotes horticulture through flower shows. In 2013 the Royal Horticultural Society had over 414,000 members. The Society operates four major gardens in England including Rosemoor Garden in Devon. It has recently announced plans for a fifth garden. John Soar will be talking about his visit to Rosemoor Garden in England at the meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society this Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. Guests are most welcome to attend but there is a $4 guest fee. Memberships will also be available at the meeting at $15 per person or $25 for a family. For more information, please email SGHorticultural@gmail. com.

Demolition derby, horse pull at Fair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The demolition derby, always one of the highlights of the annual Richmond Fair, has been moved up a day at this year’s Fair so that it will be held this 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. This 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 selected 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 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. Three passes for gate admission will be selling for $27 while 35 coupons for midway rides will be available for $40. The Richmond Fair’s website can be found at www. richmondfair.ca.

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

September 15, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed 2017 Budget Public Information Session Hello residents, On Thursday September 15th my office in conjunction with Councillor Marianne Wilkinson and Councillor Allan Hubley are holding a Budget 2017 public information session. The session will begin at 7:00 p.m. upstairs in the Kanata Recreation Complex located on Terry Fox Drive. The purpose of the public session is a part of our ongoing efforts to increase public understanding and engagement around the municipal budget. The budget is the blueprint that defines how the City resources are collected and allocated. The overall budget comprises two main components – the Operating Budget and the Capital Budget. During development of the operating and capital budgets, Council has some flexibility for reallocating or reprioritizing funds between programs and services to address emerging issues. Given these limits on discretion and the financial realities of limiting tax increases to residents, it is difficult to address all these issues or to implement significant changes from year to year. Therefore, it is important that we hear from you so that we may engage as your city representatives in the 2017 budget process going forward. This is an opportune time to become more familiarized with how the City budget works and where your tax dollars are allocated. At the present time, the City of Ottawa represents over 883,000 individuals. While the interests of one resident may vary to that of their neighbor, it is important to remember that the budget is a delicate jigsaw puzzle designed to best accommodate all people. I do hope that you can make the time to engage and provide your input. I also welcome you to share your comments and suggestions by sending me an email at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. Thanks, and I hope to see you there. Governor General’s Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers Last week, I was pleased to attend the Governor General, the Right Honourable David Johnston’s Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers Awards banquet at Rideau Hall. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers recognizes the remarkable volunteer achievements of Canadians from across the country in a wide range of fields. As an official Canadian honour, the Medal for Volunteers incorporates and replaces the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. The Medal builds on the legacy and spirit of the Caring Canadian Award by honouring the dedication and commitment of volunteers. 46 Ottawa residents were honoured with the medal including 4 residents from our community of Stittsville. These ladies were Allison Adam, Linda Joyce Schumacher, Ferzana Qadri and Theresa Qadri. • Allison Adam has been assisting citizens both young and old in her community for over 17 years through the St. John Paul II elementary school, Holy Spirit Catholic Church and the Stittsville Food Bank. Her efforts have helped increase accessibility to food and nutritional resources as well as to various social services. • For the past 16 years, Linda Schumacher has helped several organizations with fundraising, communications and event planning, as well as one-on-one support for people in need. Her efforts and dedication have led to the establishment of government-funded hospice services and improved health care access in eastern Ontario. • Ferzana Qadri is dedicated to creating a positive atmosphere at the Stittsville Food Bank. As its director of client services, she is dedicated to making the organization’s resources more accessible to clients. From training volunteers and organizing donation drives to delivering food items, she has made a difference in her community. • As chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, Theresa Qadri has helped with food collection and distribution, expanded community education and engagement, and established a summer garden to provide clients with fresh produce. Under her guidance, the organization has become more accessible and efficient. I would like to send my congratulations to all recipients of this year’s awards for this prestigious honour and give a special thanks to these four caring women of Stittsville who work tirelessly for the betterment of our community. Next year, I am pleased to inform residents that the City of Ottawa will be partnering with the Office of the Governor General of Canada to honour 150 outstanding volunteers from our city. These 150 outstanding volunteers will be recognized with the award in 2017 in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary. I, along with my Councillor colleagues, have been given the privilege of selecting six outstanding patrons within our community to be nominated for this special awarding. The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, October 14, 2016. If you, or someone you know, would like to see a deserving individual nominated, please ensure to contact me with their story at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. An awards ceremony is currently being planned for National Volunteer Week which will take place from April 23 to 29, 2017, at which time the successful recipients will be honoured. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

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

Question: I recently changed roles at work. My new title is “Accounts Manager” and I am responsible for all the company’s accounts payable and receivable. I also help other staff price our products and develop new accounts. I am very happy about my new role but my job used to be “9 to 5” and now I have to work late and on weekends. I asked my boss about overtime but was informed that managers and supervisors do not receive overtime pay. Is this true? For most employees in Ontario overtime hours start after 44 hours of work in a week. For every hour worked in excess of 44 hours an employee is supposed to receive time and a half.

job title includes the word “manager” or “supervisor” does not determine their entitlement to overtime pay. Rather, it depends on what the actual duties of the employee are.

Under the Employment Standards Act there are exceptions to the general rule including that managers and supervisors do not receive any overtime compensation. For this “manager exception” to apply an employee generally needs to be performing work that involves the supervision of other employees in a leadership role as opposed working in general administrative duties. Also, the exempt employee must be working in the manager role the majority of the time while at work - not just every now and then. The fact that someone’s

Although many job titles, such Accounts Manager, include the word “manager” this does not necessarily mean you don’t get overtime pay. If your job does not involve supervising other employees this is a good indication that you may be entitled to overtime compensation.

Pickleball played this summer at Alexander Grove courts John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It’s called pickleball! It’s a fairly new and increasingly popular sport that combines elements of tennis, table tennis and badminton. It can be played by two, three of four players at a time, using solid paddles to hit a perforated polymer ball similar to a wiffle ball over a net. Indoor pickleball is offered at a number of city of Ottawa community centres including the Goulbourn Recreation Complex where there are four courts. This past summer, though, pickleball became a sport played outdoors at the tennis courts at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville. It all stemmed from a request by Alfie Mangan of Stittsville, a retired Goulbourn Middle School teacher, who first played pickleball in Florida about three years ago and had been playing the sport back here at home at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata. He asked city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri last May if it might be possible to have a pickleball court grid stencilled on one or two of the tennis courts at Alexander Grove. Councillor Qadri looked into the possibility and within weeks, two courts had the markings on them for pickleball. Alfie began a pickleball group which has ended up playing every weekday from 9:45 a.m. to 12 noon throughout the summer except for just one day. The group is going to continue playing at Alexander Grove as long as the weather allows before moving to an indoor site. About 10 to 12 players have played regularly

throughout the summer with four or five others dropping by on occasion. Alfie and the group are most appreciative to councillor Qadri for facilitating these outdoor pickleball courts at Alexander Grove. Councillor Qadri says that there are now quite a few pickleball courts across the city, noting that all new tennis courts have the pickleball court markings on them. He says that by incorporating pickleball court markings, the city is trying to make a facility more adaptable and encourage more usage with the introduction of this new sport. He points out that just by painting a few lines on a court, a new sport becomes available to those interested. Alfie Mangan admits to loving the game of pickleball, saying that it is a game that can be played by those of all ages. Alfie says that pickleball is fairly easy to learn and advises anyone who is interested to just show up any weekday

morning when the group is at Alexander Grove. He says that extra paddles are available and the current players are very willing to teach others about the sport. In addition, there are YouTube videos that demonstrate the playing of the game. Anyone interested in knowing more about pickleball or in learning how to play the game can email Alfie at jamanjam@gmail.com for more information or for information about lessons. There is a pickleball etiquette which exists both for safety and for courtesy considerations for players. There are also strategies that should be followed in playing pickleball such as how to get to the net after serving. This is not as easy as it sounds and there is a no-volley zone which exists for seven feet on both sides of the net. This no-volley zone is commonly referred to as “the kitchen.” Players cannot enter this area to return a ball unless the ball first bounces. As to why it is called “the kitchen,” Alfie surmises that it may be because “it’s a

hot place to be.” Bob Schwenger, one of the players in this Stittsville outdoor group, says that pickleball is fun to play for a wide range of players and definitely gives a person exercise. He also notes that the spin put on the ball is a factor in playing pickleball. In addition, as Alfie notes, the wind can affect the ball. However, he calls the Alexander Grove courts a wonderful setting for pickleball as the surrounding trees keep the wind down. There are now pickleball tournaments at various city facilities and the Pickleball Association of Ontario even holds a championship event. There’s also an Ottawa Pickleball Association. A pickleball court is similar in size to a doubles badminton court. The same pickleball court is used for both doubles and singles. The net is hung at 36 inches on the ends and 34 inches in the centre. This is slightly lower than a net on a tennis court. See SPORT OF PICKLEBALL, page 31

Pickleball only started in 1965 Continued from page 29

The ball is served with an underhand stroke so that contact with the ball is made below waist level. Points are scored by the serving side only and occur when the opponent faults i.e. fails to return the ball, hits the ball out of bounds or steps into the non-volley zone. The first side scoring 11 points and leading by at least two points wins a match. This new racquet sport of pickleball was only developed starting in 1965 in Bainbridge Island, Washington at the home of then-State Representative and future Lieutenant Governor of the state of Washington Joel Pritchard. He and two friends had returned from golfing and had found their families bored. They attempted to set up badminton but there was no shuttlecock. They improvised with a wiffle ball, lowered the badminton net and fabricated paddles from plywood. And the sport of pickleball was born! But how did it get its name, pickleball? A common version of the naming is that the sport is named after the Pritchard family dog Pickles who loved to chase after the ball. However, it seems that the dog was not part of the Pritchard family until

after pickleball was invented and it was the dog being named after the sport rather than the sport being named after the dog. It now appears that the sport was named pickleball as a reference to the pickle boat which is the name of the slowest boat to return with its catch of the day. In addition, in rowing, a pickle boat has a crew which has been chosen from the leftovers of other boats. Some of the terms used in pickleball include “Dink” which is a soft shot, made with the paddle face open and hit so that it just clears the net and drops into the non-volley zone; “Kitchen” which is the non-volley zone ex-

tending seven feet from the net on both sides where a player may not enter to return a ball unless the ball first bounces; “Poach” which is a term used in doubles play referring to crossing over into your partner’s area to make a play on the ball; “volley” which means hitting the ball before it touches the ground and bounces; “Let Serve” which is a serve that touches the top of the net and lands in the proper service court which is allowed to be replayed without penalty; and Half-Volley which is a type of hit where the player hits the ball immediately after it has bounced in an almost scoop-like fashion.

Raising funds for Fair Shot Program John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Up to three dozen kids will have the opportunity to be involved in sports thanks to a pancake breakfast hosted by Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre at Saunders Farm in Munster on Saturday morning, Sept. 10. The event raised $11,788 for the Fair Shot Program of the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa which helps cover costs for vulnerable kids to play sports. This can take the form of providing equipment like skates or other sporting equipment or by covering registration fees so that youth can be involved in soccer, dancing, swimming, hockey or other sports programs. In his remarks at this fundraiser, MP Poilievre said that the Fair Shot Program allows kids under the care of the Children’s Aid Society to be involved in sports, noting that the money being raised at the pancake breakfast will provide equipment or pay for registration fees to make it all happen. About 36 kids will be helped to play sports with the funds raised at the event. These could be kids without parents or kids from broken homes or kids from families that just do not have the money to pay for sports equipment or registration fees, he said. And MP Poilievre told the crowd of 200 that all of the funds raised at the breakfast are going directly to help kids as there are no admin-

Walter Noble, executive director of the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa, in his remarks at the fundraiser, said that the Fair Shot Program not only gives kids an opportunity to be involved in sports through covering equipment and registration costs but also provides these kids with special sporting memories that will be with them for the rest of their lives. Track and field athlete Sekou Kaba of Ottawa, just back from his first Olympic experience in Rio with all of its associated memories, told those at the breakfast that he had enjoyed every bit of his Rio experience. Wearing a red jacket with “Canada” emblazoned on it, he recited

his athletic history which has included representing Canada at the North America Central America Caribbean Association (NACAC) Under 23 championships in Mexico in 2012, the Francophone Games in France in 2013, the Pam Am Games in Toronto in 2015, the track and field world championships in Beijing, China also in 2015 and now the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro last month. Calling these recent sporting years some of the most memorable years of his life, he said that these memories have happened thanks to sports. He noted that this fundraiser was in support of kids being involved in sports and he urged youth to get involved in whatever sport appeals to them. Kaba, who competes in

the hurdles, got to know MP Poilievre back in 2012 when he was trying to receive his Canadian citizenship and he turned to the MP for help. The MP’s efforts helped move the matter through the system and he became a Canadian citizen, starting his journey representing Canada at major track and field events. Kaba was born in Guinea in west Africa, moving to the United States as a youngster with his family in 2001 and then coming to Canada in 2007. MP Poilievre predicted that Kaba would win a gold medal in hurdles for Canada in the Olympics four years from now. At the fundraiser, there were formal presentations of major donations from Scotiabank ($3,000), Doug Stuewe Royal LePage Team Realty ($1,750) and Car-

Other sponsors of the event included Moncion’s Your Independent Grocer, Saunders Farm, Danby’s Bar and Grill, Rideau Carleton Raceway, Honey Drop Body and Face Art, Rent in Ottawa Property Management and Wesley Clover, an investment management firm. Virtually all of the expenses involved in the event were covered by donations including the activities for youngsters, the venue and the food for the breakfast. Contributors of door prizes for the event included West Ottawa Soccer Club, Na-

poli’s Café of Stittsville and the Stittsville Barber Shop. Door prize raffle tickets were available with a donation to the Fair Shot Program. Another special guest at the event was city of Ottawa Gloucester-South Nepean ward councillor Michael Qaqish. Also attending the event was former Nepean-Carleton MP Dr. Bill Tupper. MP Poilievre also thanked his office staff and the many volunteers who were involved in helping stage this fundraiser including those who served the pancake breakfast. See OLYMPIC, page 38

“I am thrilled that we could raise almost $11,800 for the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa’s Fair Shot Program,’ MP Poilievre said after the event. “I am grateful to our many sponsors, donors and volunteers who helped make this day a success, who have given approximately three dozen kids the opportunity to play sports that they would not have otherwise had.” Besides the free pancake breakfast, other activities at the event included face painting and a bouncy castle. Youngsters also had access to a playground area at Saunders Farm. There was also live music at the event, provided by Spencer Scharf who is something of a “one man band” as he plays numerous instruments including even the harmonica and the banjo.

Using pedal power to help grandmothers in Africa. Noteworthy. Cycling 265 kilometers over two and a half days in the seventh annual “Ride To Turn The Tide” supporting the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Awesome. And seven of the 22 cyclists and four support people involved were 70 years of age or over. Unbelievable! But that’s the scenario for this year’s “Ride To Turn The Tide” which saw the members of the Grassroot Grannies and other supporters raise an expected $65,000 in this

265 kilometer ride. During this ride, the cyclists travelled through the communities of Almonte (Mississippi Grannies), Perth (Lanark County Grannies), Merrickville (United Church), Metcalfe (Grannies All About Kids) and south Ottawa (Riverside Grannies). Nancy Hough, co-ordinator of this “Ride To Turn The Tide” for the Grassroot Grannies, notes that all of these groups are united in a single cause, with exceptional camaraderie existing not only among the cyclists’ group but also between the Grassroot Grannies and the Grannies and other groups that host the cyclists along the way.

78-year-old Jack Dyment is oldest cyclist in ‘Ride To Turn The Tide’ Continued from page 42

This “Ride To Turn The Tide” ended at the Bushtukah store on Richmond Road in Westboro last Friday afternoon, Sept. 9 which was two and a half days after the group left its starting point at the Bushtukah store on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7. The group of cyclists this year, with the ladies wearing pink jerseys and the three cycling men wearing white and black jerseys, included four cyclists new to the event – Brenda Cerson, Linda Connell, Lesya Lashuk and Paula Marinigh. Cyclist Jack Dyment had not cycled with the group since three years ago but was back this year. Indeed, Jack was the oldest cyclist in this year’s ride at 78 years of age. One of three men participating in the

ride this year, he reasons that the cause being supported by this “Ride To Turn The Tide” is such a good cause that men should be involved with it as well as the women of the Grassroot Grannies. Funds raised by the Ride go to support grandmothers in Africa who are raising their orphaned grandchildren, helping fund many community based initiatives which are helping African women gain more control over their lives since the HIV/AIDS pandemic a decade ago. And at the starting line on Wednesday, Sept. 7, Jack Dyment wasn’t apprehensive about the 265 kilometer journey that he was facing, saying that he had done some training rides of 70 kilometers or so in length to get prepared for this “Ride To Turn The Tide.”

And he also had cycled seven kilometers just to get to the starting point at the Bushtakah store, so you know that he was fit and ready to go. His wife, Mary-Jane Dyment of the Grassroot Grannies, has cycled in this Ride previously but this year she did not cycle but instead was in one of the support vehicles which travelled with the cyclists, reading to give a helping hand at any time. Close on the heels of Jack Dyment for the distinction of being the oldest cyclist in this year’s “Ride To Turn The Tide” was Judy Laughton who is 77 years old. Mother of Bob Laughton, owner of Bushtukah, she has cycled in some of the previous rides as well. Indeed, she is a long time cyclist, being involved with the “Women on Wheels” group for 35 years. She jokingly says that this cycling group should perhaps now be called the “Wild Old

Women” because of the aging of its members. This cycling group still goes on trips where they travel to a destination such as the wine country of Prince Edward County and then cycle around the location for several days. Judy, who has ridden in the “Ride To Turn The Tide” twice before, describes herself as a recreational cyclist. She noted that it takes a lot of commitment to participate in the Ride because it means not only riding in the actual event itself but also means a summer of collecting pledges of financial support leading up to the event. The “Women on Wheels” group was involved in the launching of this “Ride To Turn The Tide” by the Grassroot Grannies. The actual idea for the Ride came from a group in Victoria, B.C. which had held such an event. Beneath sunny skies and in warm temperatures at the starting line at the Bushtukah

store on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 7, both city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Kanata North ward councillor Marianne Wilkinson wished the cyclists well on their impending ride. Councillor Qadri, in return, was heartily wished a Happy Birthday by the assembled riders as Sept. 7 was his birthday. Councillor Wilkinson, who has supported this “Ride To Turn The Tide” since its beginnings seven years ago, noted in her remarks just how important the funds raised by this Ride are for those in Africa. It was councillor Wilkinson who cut a green ribbon to mark the official launch of this year’s Ride, after which the cyclists departed in groups, riding under a Grassroot Grannies banner as they departed the Bushtukah parking lot. Before getting underway, they had been given a pep talk by Bob Laughton, Judy’s husband, who congratulated the Ride participants for their concern for the welfare of others in the world.

Three male riders on ‘Ride To Turn The Tide’ Continued from page 44

“Ride with Pride,” he told the cyclists. “Bon Voyage.” Many of the cyclists on the Ride this year were in their 60’s and 70’s, with seven being aged 70 or over. Ten of the cyclists were members of the Grassroot Grannies. One cyclist came from the Eastern Townships while others were from the Ottawa area. The three male riders in the group included 78 year old Jack Dyment, Paul Hough and Anthony Woods. On leaving the starting line at the Bushtukah store in Stittsville, the cyclists headed west on HazeldeanRoad, turning onto Iber Road and then following Abbott Street and Shea Road to Fernbank Road where they headed west towards Ashton on their way via Almonte to their first overnight stop in Perth. Cyclists found that despite the hot humid day, the kilometers flew by and they were in Perth almost before they knew it. This year the traditional “tailgate” party was relocated to the pool at the Perth Plaza Hotel where many cooled off in the pool before heading out to dinner at the home of one of the host Lanark County Grannies. Thursday, Sept. 8 held the threat of wet weather but the predicted thunder and light-

ning never materialized. There were some rainy times but the rain just served to cool down the riders. Following a dinner with Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe, the cyclists headed to their billets for the night. Friday, Sept. 9 was a relatively short day for the cyclists, with only 60 kilometers to be covered. There was lunch with the Riverside Grannies. The group was joined by city of Ottawa Kitchissippi ward councillor Jeff Leiper who donned a “Ride To Turn The Tide” jersey and rode the last ten kilometers with the group to the Bushtukah store on Richmond Road. At the finish line, councillor Leiper spoke about the work of the Grassroot Grannies in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

City of Ottawa councillor Marianne Wilkinson, who had been at the starting line on Wednesday, Sept. 7, was at the finish line as well and handed out certificates from the city honouring the work done by the Grassroot Grannies.

Fireflies became a cruel game for the brothers

hey were everywhere. Glowing in the dark of the night. I wasn’t frightened of them. I was frightened for them. They were the many fireflies that came out in the heat of the summer and once darkness had settled in, they flitted around, not that far from the ground ... many little glowing lights, no doubt unaware of the danger awaiting them. I was once frightened by the fireflies, but then my sister Audrey said they were simply tiny pieces of stars broken off by unseen angels and sent down to bring light in the darkness. That made perfect sense to me, and certainly eliminated any fear I had. What didn’t make sense to me and filled my veins with ice water, was how my three brothers could murder those harmless little flies. They were easy to

MARY COOK

Memories catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what lay in store for them. And this is when my three brothers would commit their murderous act, so that the poor creatures could no longer fly. They actually ripped the little bodies apart and put the small pieces of glowing light up and down their arms, until they looked like they were carrying many tiny little flashlights. Then the brothers would tear around the yard like people possessed! They

would yell and laugh, enjoying their murderous acts. I covered my ears with my hands, so I couldn’t hear them and pleaded with Mother to stop their cruel acts, but that got me nowhere. I would stay in the house, praying for Mother to say it was time to get ready for bed, and avoided even looking out the kitchen window, just in case I saw what was going on in the backyard. Finally, it was bedtime. Mother went to the door,

hit the wooden spoon against the tin disc that hung on a nail that was used to call everyone in for meals, and one by one the brothers headed into the house, leaving the evidence of what they had been up to outside. They were still talking about what a great night it had been when they had their glass of milk and cookie, and again, I put my hands over my ears to shut out what they were saying. Being the youngest, I was always ushered upstairs before anyone else, and Audrey was right behind me that night. She knew how upset I was, and tried to steer the conversation to something more pleasant. But nothing could erase what I had seen in the backyard. Finally, the brothers came upstairs, and they had to pass through our bedroom, which was really

a big hall, leading to their beds in the back room. Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be making my life miserable, came right over to where I was sitting on the side of the bed waiting for Mother to come and hear our prayers.

“They were easy to catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what lay in store for them.” He thrust out his arm and there were the remains of one of the murdered fireflies! Of course, it had lost its glow. Audrey gave him a poke that sent him flying and told him to get ready for bed or he would be sorry! And right then I knew what I was going

to pray for. I was going to pray that the next time the brothers went out at night to catch fireflies, they would be attacked by a batch of wasps instead and, just maybe, their arms would fall off! It took me a long time to fall asleep and when I did, I dreamed of angels breaking off little pieces of stars and sending them down to our farm in Northcote where they became fireflies. And I could see my brothers trying to catch them. But they soared way above the ground, and I dreamed I could hear the fireflies laughing.\ Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Lowry, Lorne (Died September 5, 2016)

The world’s “okayest” drummer, “Ollie,” “Special Ed,” left us after a summer of health care interventions interspersed with comforting visits with family and friends. Lorne will be deeply mourned by his daughters and sons-in-laws Leanne and Sean, Morgan and Tom, and Melissa and Shawn, by his big brother Stephen and sister-in-law Marijke, and by his wife Linda and her family. His grandchildren Emma, Charlotte, Logan, Lincoln, and Aidan, and honorary grandson Keldon, will miss their Babu and his constant safety precautions. His special pet companions Kubwa, Bunsen, and Bwana are grieving too. In his role as professor at Algonquin College and as a leader in the Canadian and Ottawa chapter of the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society, Lorne mentored a generation of HRAC apprentices and technicians. Feisty and crusty to the end, Lorne passed his final nights in the compassionate care of the Palliative Suite team at the Perth hospital. The family wishes to thank the many health care professionals who cared for Lorne at the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre, the Ottawa Hospital 5th Floor East, the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, and at home through the CCAC.

Conley Road in Goulbourn eight years ago, first started playing at age ten in assemblies at Stittsville Public School. At that time he was playing 60’s pop music in a band called “The Chargers”, along with some of his classmates. But then he heard the music of Buck Owens and the Buckaroos and everything changed as he became hooked on country music which has become his lifelong musical passion.

This coming Sunday, Sept. 18, Gord Barnes will be performing in the arena at the Richmond Fair, just like he has for the past two years. On the following Sunday, Sept. 25, Gord will be front and centre at See GORD BARNES, page 53 the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame Awards Show as one of four 2016 inductees into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. This Awards Show takes place starting at 7 p.m. at the Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean. Gord admits that he had no idea about his selection for the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame until he received a call last March telling him about his upcoming induction. He says that the call brightened up his day and while he says that the thought of being inducted in the Hall of Fame someday rested in the back of his mind due to his nearly 40 years in the music business, he did not think that it would happen at this time so soon after returning from a 15 year break from the business due to work commitments.

Gord Barnes released second CD in 2014 Continued from page 52

The first country song that Gord learned was “Act Naturally,” a number one hit in 1963 for Buck Owens and the Buckaroos. As a boy, he grew up in a house where nothing but country music was played. When friends of his parents visited, they would end up leaving their guitars behind for Gord to play. People like Gerry Levac, Reggie Young and Gord’s uncle Bob Barnes all played a big influence on Gord in his early musical years. By the age of 15, Gord was playing at different venues for parties and dances around the Ottawa Valley, along with steel guitarist Art Simpson who was his stepfather. It was through Art that Gord was introduced to the Desmond brothers who had a big impact on him musically. Some years later, Gord even had the opportunity to play rhythm guitar and to sing with one of the brothers, Gene Desmond and his band, the Roadrunners. In 1973, when he was 19 years old, Gord decided to form his own band, a trio called Blue Ridge Mountain with Ron Todd of Richmond on drums and Wayne Shay of Greely on bass guitar. This trio went on to play at the Monteguard Club on Somerset Street in Ottawa for seven years as the house band, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. The band also played for private functions and at clubs at different venues around the Ottawa Valley in these years. After some years, the band was renamed North Country, adding a fourth member, pedal steel guitarist Lee Kelm of Venosta, QC. as Gord really loves the pedal steel guitar sound. In 1985, Gord was looking for a change and when he was asked to join Ron Martin and Frontier, he jumped at the opportunity. This saw Ron Martin featured on rhythm and vocals with Brian Ostrom on pedal steel guitar, Louis Lacelle on drums and Gil Glaser on fiddle and guitar. And, on yes, Gord on bass. He enjoyed just being a sideman and playing in the background with a group and learning

what it takes to be a good sideman in a band. In the late 1980’s, Gord freelanced, playing bass and lead guitar with Neville Wells, Ralph Carlson, Eddie Pigeon, Ron McMunn, Freddie Dixon, Gerry Levac and more. Then, in 1988, the group Gord Barnes & Laredo was formed with Ron Todd on drums, Wayne Shay on bass, Brian Ostrom on pedal steel guitar and Gord on guitar and vocals. This band played all across Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, always a big crowd favourite on the bar circuit. But in the late 1990’s, Gord’s work commitments prevented him from pursuing his music at a performance level and so he took a 15 year break from performing, restricting himself to playing at home in his music room. But in 2013, after retiring from work, Gord continued where he left off 15 years earlier, leading Gord Barnes & Laredo. The group now performs a couple of times a month which is just right in Gord’s view. It was in 1991 that Gord recorded his debut CD which featured two original tunes, “If we were only friends” and “Till the end of time.” Gord was back in the recording studio in 2014, 23 years later, for his second CD, “Family, Friends and Favourites” which features cover tunes that his fans have requested over the years. On this CD along with Gord are the 2014 members of Laredo, namely Brian Ostrom on pedal steel guitar, Louis Lacelle on percussion, Gil Charron on bass guitar, Maureen Young on keyboards and Wayne Foster on fiddle. In addition, Gord’s son Derek played lead electric guitar on some of the tracks. Gord admits that traditional country music is what he likes, citing Merle Haggard and George Strait as his two favourite country artists. He says that even after 35 plus years of performing, he still enjoys performing and getting out and meeting people in the various venues. Indeed, he says that one of the biggest
