Bald eagle on display at Fair in Richmond John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

His name is Rocco. He is 11 years old and was at the Richmond Fair in Richmond this year, attracting large crowds to see him perform. That’s because Rocco is a bald eagle and one of the featured attractions in the Birds of Prey show presented at this year’s Fair. Rocco was bred in captivity and has been with his handler Ryan Duncan ever since he was born. He was his full grown size after just three and a half months. In the wild, bald eagles live to be about 20 to 25 years old. In captivity, this age expectancy can be doubled. See RAPTOR CONSERVANCY, page 3

Raptor Conservancy presents live demos Continued from page 1

While he was not let off his leash when performing in Richmond, back home at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy facility near Port Dover, ON he is allowed to fly free at times. But Rocco always returns because the lure is food – his handlers are his food source. His favourite food, by the way, is salmon. The Canadian Raptor Conservancy is an organization which focuses on conservation and educating the public about the important role that birds of prey play in

the world. It presents live demonstrations across Canada at select events throughout the year such as the Richmond Fair this year. Over 1,000 presentations are performed each year. At each presentation, the handler or interpreter gives a commentary about each one. Some of the birds used in these shows are the bald eagle, the golden eagle, the Harris Hawk, a barn owl, a great horned owl, a red-tailed hawk, a peregrine falcon and a turkey vulture.

The birds of prey found in nature which can be seen in some of these shows include the bird with the best vision in nature, able to spot its prey from over 20 kilometers away; the only species of hawk that hunts in a pack, just like a family of wolves; the bird of prey that has the most highly developed sense of smell in the world, even better than a bloodhound; an owl that can find its food on the darkest of nights using only its hearing; and a falcon that can accelerate in a vertical dive, reaching speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour.

Pirate ship bounce, pony rides, petting zoo and more at Jo-Jo’s Continued from page 2

But although this ship was display-

ing Jolly Roger pirate flags, it wasn’t an unfriendly vessel – indeed, it wasn’t a

ship at all but rather a fun-filled inflatable bounce with pirate trimmings, including

a giant pirate character at its bow. This pirate ship bounce was just one

of the attractions at the free family fun fair which Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria hosted as a way of showing the restaurant’s appreciation and gratitude to the community for its loyalty and support of Jo-Jo’s over the past three decades. Although the weatherman did not cooperate fully, sending periods of showers down on the event, it did not deter the fun that was being had. Besides the pirate ship bounce, there were also pony rides, a petting zoo and ball hockey. There was a Shriner clown who provided balloon creations. There was free pizza slices for one and all and cotton candy was available, all served for free by JoJo’s personnel in their distinctive red Jo-Jo’s t-shirts. Inside the Stittsville Main Street restaurant there was cake served, celebrating JoJo’s years in business in the community. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri dropped in for a visit JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND during the event as did Stittsville Village Jake Pommainville (left) and Chase Pommainville (right) have fun Association president at the family fun day hosted by Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria in Stittsville last Saturday, Sept. 17.

Launch, community BBQ at Hazeldean Gardens John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Right now it’s a construction site but soon it will be the site of the Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence – 6130 Hazeldean Road which is part of the former Stittsville Flea Market site in Stittsville. And besides the construction work now underway on the site, it is going to be the site of an official launch and community BBQ this coming Saturday, Sept. 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend. It will be an opportunity not only to enjoy a community BBQ but you will be able to obtain some information about the new facility including some of its typical floor plans. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri will be there

as well as he is participating in a brief ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Site clearance and preparation work has been underway on the site at the eastern end of the former Stittsville Flea Market site since last month. The first phase of this new retirement residence now under construction will include 173 dwelling units. A future second phase will include 57 units. There is also a possible third phase that would be built west of the first two phases. The five-storey retirement residence will offer a full continuum of care from fully independent living to fully assisted living including a special memory care unit. The retirement residence will be offering a full meal program for all residents. In addition, each unit will be equipped with a small kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave and

toaster for light snacks. The retirement residence is going to have a bistro/café area called “Stittsville Station.” It may feature a mural of the former Stittsville train station and may have a model train running around inside it. It is expected that this Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence will be open in the fall of 2017. This new Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence is flanked by Hazeldean Road to the north and Neil Avenue to the south. The “Welcome to Stittsville” sign and parkette is located immediately east of the site. Allan Jackson, president of Capital Commercial Investment Corporation and one of three principals associated with the project along with his father and uncle, has said that it is expected that it will take about three years for the first 173 units to fill up,

allowing time for proceeding with the facility’s second phase. The new five-storey retirement residence will be a family operated facility, not associated with any retirement residence chain or brand. The main entrance to the retirement residence will be on the west side of the building. A parking lot for 110 vehicles, more than double that required for the first phase of the project, will be located to the west of the building. On the west side of this parking area will be an access road leading from Hazeldean Road through to Neil Avenue. This will be the route followed by delivery trucks servicing the facility. These delivery vehicles for food will be visiting the facility two to three times a week. Mr. Jackson has emphasized that the new retirement home will be very

open to community use of the facility. There will be monthly special events to which the community will be invited. The new residence will try to engage the public because it is healthy for seniors to have members of the community around the facility and for residents to feel part of the community. Connections with the parkette around the “Welcome to Stittsville” sign at the southwest corner of the Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street intersection are envisioned so that more use can be made of this parkette area by residents of the retirement residence. This new retirement residence is expected to employ 125 full and part time staff, spread out over shifts over each 24 hour period. About 25 staff are expected to be on duty at any one time.

Special programs for artefacts, model trains John Curry

The program will explore different ways in which the Goulbourn

Museum works with its collection of artefacts and how artefacts are used to share and to interpret the history of the Goulbourn community. Online registration is required for attendance at this program. No registration, though, is required for the other special program that is coming up at the Stittsville library and that is an “O” gauge model train show which will be presented from Friday, Sept. 30 through Sunday, Oct. 2.

Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor Environmental Assessment Study (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Open House # 4 (Final) Wednesday, October 5, 2016 Nepean Sportsplex, Halls A and B 1701 Woodroffe Avenue 6 to 9 p.m., presentation: 7 p.m. Transit Access: 94, 95, 157, 173 The City of Ottawa is working on a Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the proposed at-grade Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station along a 14.5 km corridor generally following Baseline Road and Heron Road. The proposed facility would accommodate increasing travel demand across the City and help achieve modal share targets as set out in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Implementation of the BRT facility is identified in the TMP as follows: • Baseline Station to Billings Bridge Station: Part of 2031 Affordable Transit Network. • Baseline Station to Bayshore Station: Part of Network Concept Plan (Post 2031). The EA Study will determine measures to improve transit service efficiency along the corridor and result in the expansion of the City’s transit network. Study Area The Study Area stretches between Bayshore Station and Billings Bridge Station along a corridor following Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, Navaho Drive and Heron Road and includes the area around Baseline Station. At the Open House you will: • Receive an update on the study’s progress • Learn about the Recommended Plan for the corridor • Have the opportunity to: °°Discuss the project with the study team and how it may affect your property °°Provide feedback Public input and comment on the information presented at the Open House event will be received until October 21, 2016. The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The EA process involves developing, assessing, and evaluating alternatives, which results in a Recommended Plan that will be presented to City’s Transportation Committee and Council for approval in mid 2016. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the environmental assessment process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record as per the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). Further information on the EA Study is available on the City’s project web site at: ottawa.ca/baselinecorridor. There will be ongoing consultation activities with study stakeholders during the remaining course of the study. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa.

‘A Splash of Colour’ at owaa art gallery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The new art exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville lives up to its name “A Splash of Colour” thanks to a number of the pieces of art on display which are definitely colourful. Aud Karin Sund’s abstract oil painting entitled “Freedom” is not only big but it is filled with colour, with a number of colours (red, yellow, blue and more) flowing in horizontal columns. Kat McClure’s mixed media piece entitled “Awakening” is also a large painting, with blue

as a dominant colour. It is also, as it were, “eye catching” as there is an eyeball emerging from amid its colours. Louise Barker’s mixed media artwork called “City Colours” depicts a colourful scene which verges on the abstract, showing a café scene with tall buildings of different colours in the background. “Bazinga!,” an oil painting by Michael Goguen, may by its title bring forth thoughts of the TV program “The Big Bang Theory” since Dr. Sheldon Cooper uses the word “Bazinga” as a colloquialism meaning “I fooled you” but there’s no being fooled by the five colour pear-shaped forms that populate this painting.

They are colourful and distinctive. An acrylic painting by Catherine Gutsche entitled “My Gardian Angel” is a colourful abstract depiction of swirls of red, blue and green. Speaking of swirls, Vera van Baaren has actually entitled her small acrylic painting “Swirls” with its green and orange swirls complementing a patch of upright stems. While Shelley Lacroix’s large oil painting “In the Morning Light” is a landscape, albeit a close up of a forest scene, it is eye-catchingly colourful, with its mass of red and yellow leaves surrounding birch tree trunks. Charles Rogers’ waterco-

lour is even called “Splash of Colour” as it features a number of differently shaped but small items of various colours portrayed on a white background. Also with lots of different colours featured in it is Hassan Zaki’s photo called “Christmas Cookies” which shows a number of different coloured Christmas cookie forms such as a gingerbread man, a Christmas stocking and a Christmas tree. Doug Sample’s oil painting “The Red Pines” is a true landscape scene with redleaved trees on a rock outcropping in a watery site with hills in the background. So too is Trudy Daley’s acrylic work “Fall along Moose River” which shows a rippling stream passing between banks boasting red and yellow trees. Bev Lafortune’s photo “Surreal Land” shows a mountain scene with the sky above and snow on some of the mountain slopes and tops. Josie Walsh’s mixed media work entitled “Rustico PEI” shows a white lighthouse beneath a blue sky tinged with white clouds. John Edkins’ photograph “Prince Edward County Sunset” shows a setting sun over a watery foreground, with a wave hitting the shoreline. Michael Goguen’s small oval oil painting shows a blue

sky, mountains and a foreground of water.

Charles Rogers’ photograph “Artist Point” shows a forested scene, with water visible through the cluster of trees. Floral and wildlife scenes are also found in this exhibition and they are colourful in their own way,. Betty Sullivan’s watercolour “Morning Glories” features white and purple floral touches. Shelley Irving’s photo art “Zealous Zinnias” is a close up of two orange/red zinnia blooms. Spectacular! Stephanie Robertson’s photograph “Spring Blossoms” depicts a small tree with a purple glow to it. Another photograph by Stephanie Robertson called “Bleeding Heart” shows a pink bleeding heart bloom hanging on a branch. John Edkins’ photo “Water Lily” shows a white lily with a yellow centre surrounded by green. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s acrylic painting shows a Blue Jay (the bird, not the ball player) sitting on a branch, with several very green leaves in evidence. Trudy Daley’s acrylic painting “Another Nut To Crack” shows a squirrel (or chipmunk) eating a nut while sitting on a branch. Other paintings in the

exhibition offer a variety of scenes and subjects. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s mixed media painting “Mirage” is an abstract featuring dark colours. Similarly Louise Barker’s acrylic “Subliminal Splash” is another dark coloured abstract work. Vera van Baaren’s “Now Add Some Colour” acrylic painting shows a woman adding some red lipstick to her lips. Mark Graza’s “Hunting the Lion” is a large oil painting that shows the hunting of lions, with some of the hunters riding on elephants. Hassan Zaki’s photograph “Doughetry in Motion” is a large painting that shows two hands, one of which is holding something. This exhibition “A Splash of Colour” is on display at the owaa gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville from now until Friday, Nov. 11. After viewing this exhibition, you are encouraged to fill out a People’s Choice ballot indicating your favourite piece in the exhibition. The ballots and ballot box can be found on top of the glass display case that is part of the owaa gallery,. The owaa gallery is open whenever the GRC is open which is seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Time to go back to the drawing board

he proposal for a modern looking addition to the iconic Fairmont ChĂ˘teau Laurier hotel brings to mind the old saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it when I see it.â&#x20AC;? Reaction has been swift and overwhelmingly negative to what is being proposed for the hotel site, which along with the Parliament buildings, is perhaps the most immediately recognizable building in the city to those who view Ottawa from afar and to those who live here. The ChĂ˘teau Laurierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;castleâ&#x20AC;? motif is part of this cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. And clearly in this case, the consensus is screaming loud and clear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess with that identity. Mayor Jim Watson tweeted of the design, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This falls under the category â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;back to the drawing board.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Ouch! Public reaction has been so negative that RideauVanier councillor Mathieu Fleury went from being seemingly gung-ho for the project to backpedalling fast from what appeared to be initial support. The addition plan proposes to build new longterm stay suites, create a new exterior courtyard off the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballroom for seasonal uses and replace an existing five-storey parking garage with underground parking.

That sounds fine in theory except for how this will look. As always, the devil is in the details. A spokesman for the company that owns the hotel told Metroland Media they may tweak the design proposal saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes we will be making changes but not wholesale changes.â&#x20AC;? At least that is the company line as of now. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see. That old saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it when I see itâ&#x20AC;? may have most famously been used in an American Supreme Court decision in the 1960s in an obscenity case that revolved around what is hardcore pornography. As in that case, it is all in the eye of the beholder. And so far, except for a few notable exceptions such as the Lowertown Community Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee chairman Peter Ferguson who is a fan of what is proposed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we, like the many residents, are less than impressed. Do we know what a perfect addition design plan for the hotel should be? The honest answer to that would be no. But like many residents of this city, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know it when we see it, and right now, we are just not seeing it.

Parkway narrowing proposal is met with mixed reviews

he notion of narrowing the west end of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway has resurfaced, with predictable results. Those who commute by car from the west end are fearful. Those who want to see fewer cars on the parkway are delighted. And a lot of people are confused, partly about what the National Capital Commission is hoping to accomplish, and partly about the consequences of the action, should it be taken. (This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count the people who are confused because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember what the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway is and wonder what happened to the Western Parkway.) There is a suspicion on the part of some Ottawans, including this one, that the NCC doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the parkway for what it really is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a major thoroughfare carrying com-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town muters to and from the west end. Instead, the NCC thinks of the parkway as a kind of glorified nature trail. This concept seemed to be behind the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firm opposition to the use of the parkway for light rail, a position that went beyond all logic and probably added considerably to the cost. This thinking is also reflected in the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of creating a nine-kilometre-long linear park, whatever that is, alongside the parkway, using some of the space freed up by the narrowing of the parkway. Is this just craziness, you ask? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there enough green space

beside the parkway? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it already available for people to use? Obviously not everyone thinks so. Well then, what about the traffic displaced from those vanishing lanes? Will the drivers who suddenly find the parkway too slow and too crowded simply pick other ways to get downtown? And what will those ways be? Can the Queensway handle still more cars? Or will there, instead, be fewer cars? This is the most dreamily optimistic way of looking at things. Some larger cities, London and New York, for example, have found that simply making it awful to drive downtown persuades people not to do so. There are still a lot of cars downtown in those cities, but not as many, and a lot of them are taxis. Sheer inconvenience, combined with the eventual arrival of light rail, could do the trick. At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hope.

Meanwhile, for west-enders itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way too soon to panic. The NCC itself has no timetable. The narrowing is some years off. According to published reports, the commission is waiting to see what happens with light rail. Further, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen on many other occasions, the process of the NCC making up its mind is not a rapid one. Certain procedures must be followed. There will be consultations and adjustments and more consultations, for years and years. And we already know that there is some adverse public opinion for the NCC to consider. A telephone survey conducted for the commission reveals substantial opposition to the plan among those who use the parkway. (And, as is always the way, those who live in other parts of town think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all just ducky.) Maybe everything will work out fine. Maybe light rail will cut down EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $VSSZ KPIO DVSSZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +PIO #SVNNFMM KPIO CSVNNFMM!NFUSPMBOE DPN

so much on car traffic that those lanes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be needed. Then, beside a near-carless parkway, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a nice long linear park. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to use it.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Proud to Serve You 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.

More Big Government Spending Kathleen Wynne’s recent Throne Speech included a promise to create 100,000 more public daycare positions for children aged 0-4 years. I believe that mothers and fathers are best qualified to look after their children – not the government. So I was skeptical about this from the beginning. But I found it strange that the government didn’t provide any further details. Then I found out that the media were reporting what those 100,000 spaces would cost. It could be anything from about 2 to 4 billion dollars. This is a gigantic amount of spending. The government is also promising to rebate about $1 billion for hydro. When you add all this up, it’s obvious that the government isn’t serious about balancing the budget. But here’s an idea: if this government is so eager to get rid of money, why not just return it to families who can decide for themselves how to spend it to get the daycare services they need?

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

September 22, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Street Re-naming Project Update Hello residents, I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to provide their input on the re-naming of select streets in Stittsville. As you may know by now, I too would prefer to not have to re-name any of our Stittsville streets; however, it has been made clear by the City these changes are necessary in the advocacy of public safety. We are deeply connected to our history here in Stittsville and I think the responses from residents on this topic prove just how important our roots are to us. The City advised that the following street names are required to undergo changes: Bell Street, Goulbourn Street, Elm Crescent, Long Meadow Way, and Meadowland Drive (Walker Road, which was also subject to the re-naming process, has already undergone the necessary changes to become Henry Walker Grove as per suggestion from the community). I want to assure you that this street re-naming is taking place throughout the City of Ottawa and it is not only happening to our community of Stittsville. Given the significant interest and feedback from Stittsville residents, the City has taken additional steps in the consultation process and I would like to thank City Staff, Rebecca Anderson, for her extensive amount of work and time committed to this file. We have now completed two rounds of opportunities for residents to provide their feedback with suggested street names. I feel that through this second round we have collected a considerable number of suitable suggestions. These suggestions underwent a thorough vetting process and now, all names that have passed this process are being provided to the affected residents. Each property will be able to cast a vote on the name they prefer; affected properties will receive the suggestions and voting information in their mail and only those who are affected will be permitted to cast a vote for their street. It is important to explain that names received under the commemorative naming process, despite passing the vetting process, are not being provided for this vote. When we began this process, the opportunity was provided for residents to submit names in honour of an individual or family name for commemorative purposes. A large number of commemorative naming suggestions were received, many of which had very strong merits and community significance. However, in some cases, multiple suggestions were made for the same street and concerns were shared that this could result in a competition between these well deserving family names. Therefore, in discussion with City staff it was decided that instead it would be recommended to those who submitted a commemorative naming application to have these names used in future Stittsville developments. I greatly appreciate the feedback we have received and I feel that this new listing of street naming suggestions is a large improvement from the last round provided to residents in June. The lists in their entirety have not been supplied to residents as they are quite extensive; however, this information - including all name options being provided to residents on affected streets and those names which were submitted and did not pass the vetting process - are available on my website at Shadqadri.com. Please note that some names considered offensive/ derogatory have been removed from the list of names that did not pass vetting. West-end Councillors’ Budget Meeting Recap On Thursday September 15th I along with my west-end colleagues Councillor Marianne Wilkinson and Councillor Allan Hubley held a budget 2017 information session at the Kanata Recreation Complex. Deputy City Treasurer Isabelle Jasmin and staff support Christine Moran were on hand to give a brief overview of the City’s budget. Ms. Jasmin explained the break down on how the budget funds such services as fire, police and paramedics, roads, parks and recreation, libraries and the buses that take residents to work and home. This was then followed by residents breaking out into two groups for brain storming and discussion on what they would like to see reflected in the 2017 budget. A number of comment sheets were received and these will be submitted for review and consideration. There are many other opportunities for residents to provide input during this process before the tabling of the draft budget at Council on November 9th. Other wards will be holding future consultation sessions in addition to the one we held in Kanata. All are welcome to attend these sessions as they are open to the public. Residents can also participate in the online consultation: plan a simulated municipal budget using our interactive consultation tool available at http://ottawa.citizenbudget.com. After the draft budget is tabled, the public are welcome to register as a public delegation at a budget review meeting: Members of the public can make a five-minute presentation to Standing Committees, Boards and Commissions when they meet to review the draft budget. Please consult the meeting schedule available at Ottawa.ca and inquire with the listed contact person to register for a budget review meeting. 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.

ERICA WIEBE

Connected to your community

Olympic wrestling champion Erica Wiebe is a popular draw now wherever she goes Kerry Gillespie kgillespie@thestar.ca When Erica Wiebe of Stittsville was named to Canada’s Rio Olympic team she described herself as just a regular athlete doing a sport she loved. Now, just over a month after winning Canada’s lone wrestling medal at the 2016 Summer Games, just its third ever gold in the sport, that hasn’t changed — for her, anyway. For everyone else, it seems to be quite a bit different. “I am the same person, but the way people perceive me has changed,” says Wiebe, who was in Toronto for a series of events last week. “Everything shifts or pivots (after winning a gold medal) and nothing quite prepares you for it.” Airplane pilots will announce that the Olympic medallist is onboard; the WWE is pursuing her to consider taking up the entertainment version of wrestling and people want her to attend their events, whether it’s the Sept. 14 draw for the $1 million Woodbine Mile or a TIFF gala on Friday, Sept. 16. She’s even become Twitter buddies with her long-time favourite fantasy fiction author, Guy Gavriel Kay. “How cool is that?” she says over coffee, with the same quick smile and easy laugh she’s always had. The 27-year-old from Stittsville has had people ask her why she’s so humble after striking gold in Rio. “Well,” she tells them, “if you went in and got beat up by high school boys every day you’d feel pretty humble too.” Wiebe is in the 75-kg class, the heaviest for women, so that means most of her training partners have been male. At the University of Calgary, where she trains, she wrestles with a few women and lots of men, including elite high schoolers.

“If you’re not enough before you cross the finish line or the final buzzer you’ll never be enough afterwards so, for me, it was never like this idea that I have to win a gold medal to justify myself or who I am,” she says. But the medal does come in handy in one annoying aspect of her life: not quite fitting the image of what many people have for an elite athlete. Wiebe has incredible leg muscles but, despite her obvious strength and skill on the wrestling mat, she’s never developed bulging biceps or the defined upper body muscles that ring “elite athlete” bells for the general public. “My partner and I went to yoga one time and (the instructor) looked at him said, ‘Oh, are you an athlete?’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m the athlete.’ That happens to me all the time,” she says. Her partner, James Bartlett, is a lawyer and, to be fair to the yoga instructor, is a power-lifter. “He’s like the third strongest man in Canada, so he’s not bad,” she says, smiling. But she bristles at the notion he’s assumed to be an athlete and she’s not. “It’s been a narrative in my life experience where I constantly have to justify that I’m an athlete.” Not anymore. Even her family members ask her to bring her gold medal to dinner so they can see it. Wiebe didn’t celebrate her medal much in Rio because she was part of a team that included five other medal-hopeful women who all, for various reasons, posted disappointing results. Since then, her life has been a whirlwind of flying around the country to events — she’s not one to say no to an opportunity for a new experience — but she’s still fitting in gym work because she’s not done. She still loves wrestling and “definitely”

plans to continue until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In the short term, she has a few international competitions on her radar and she has her eye on a spot in the upcoming season of the Pro Wrestling League in India, which showcases Olympic-style wrestling on multiple teams with a draft system for foreigners. “Travelling to India would be amazing, the Indian culture around wrestling is so exciting, also it’s pretty lucrative, the signing bonus is minimum $20,000 (U.S.), which in the world of (Olympic) wrestling just doesn’t exist,” she says. “A lot of us want to go, and I feel like I’ve got pretty good pull right now.”

Erica Wiebe with her gold medal

Praise in Ontario Legislature Hectic schedule for Erica John Curry

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Praise for Erica Wiebe’s Olympic gold medal performance has reached the floor of the Ontario Legislature. Her Olympic achievement was pointed out in a statement delivered in the Legislature last week by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren who called Erica “a great Olympic athlete from my riding.” “I’m proud of her achievement and I’m proud that she’s from Stittsville in my riding of CarletonMississippi Mills,” MPP MacLaren said in his statement in the Legislature. Erica, who grew up in Stittsville,

won the gold medal in the 75 kg class in women’s freestyle wrestling in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. MPP MacLaren pointed out that Erica has followed in the footsteps of two other great Canadian women’s wrestling Olympic athletes, Carol Huynh who won Canada’s first ever gold medal in women’s wrestling at the Olympics in Beijing and Tonya Verbeek who won two silver medals and a bronze medal in women’s wrestling over the course of three different Olympic Games (2004, 2008 and 2012). MPP MacLaren expressed the hope that his fellow MPP’s would join him “in saluting the great Olympic gold medal victory of Erica Wiebe.”

john.curry@metroland.com

Olympic wresting champion Erica Wiebe, in an online newsletter posting on Friday, Sept. 16, admits that her gold medal performance in Rio de Janeiro has not yet truly sunk in. But she admits that although it has been virtually a month since her Olympic win on Aug. 18, she has only had a few “brief, fleeting moments” to reflect on the victory since that time due to her hectic schedule in the past month which has seen her at events in Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. “Things are really exciting now in ways I could never imagine,” Erica writes. “I have already gotten back in the gym and so I am fitting in my off-mat workouts around the country in various hotel rooms and planning to return to the mats in mid-October.” While she admits that the journey to Rio was a tumultuous one, she writes “I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” She writes that she is “most excited” about getting back to doing what she loves, namely wrestling.

Board congratulates Erica Special to the News

The Ottawa Catholic School Board has congratulated Erica Wiebe. The Olympic gold medal winner from the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro is an alumni of the Board, having attended Holy Spirit Catholic School and then Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, graduating in 2007.

Certificate of Achievements presented Continued frompage21

The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers is an official national honour which recognizes remarkable volunteer achievements of Canadians across the country in a wide range of fields. Theresa and Ferzana were among 46 recipients from the National Capital and Eastern Ontario region to receive the award at the Rideau Hall ceremony. In presenting the Certificate of Achievements to Theresa Qadri at the Lions Club meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 14, Lions Club president Wayne Beaten commented that the certificates were being presented to recognize the mother and daughter for all that they have done as volunteers in the Stittsville community. Ferzana could not attend the Lions Club meeting due to family obligations but her mother accepted her certificate on her behalf. Both received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers because of their work with the Stittsville Food Bank. Ferzana Qadri has worked to make the Food Bank’s resources more accessible to clients in her role as the Food Bank’s director of client services. Theresa Qadri has been the chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, a role which has seen her involved with food collection and distribution, with the expansion of the Food Bank’s community education and engagement programs and with establishment of a summer garden to provide Food Bank clients

with fresh produce. Theresa has also been active with the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, serving as its president and being one of the key organizers for the Rotary Peace Park and labyrinth project at Bell Memorial Park in Stittsville. She has also been involved with youth programming initiatives in Stittsville and has served on the Stittsville Village Association executive. Theresa and Ferzana were two of four Stittsville residents who received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers at the recent ceremony at Rideau Hall. Other Stittsville residents who received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers included Allison Adam and Linda Schumacher. Allison Adam has been a volunteer with Ecole St. Jean-Paul II, Holy Spirit Catholic Church and the Stittsville Food Bank. Linda Schumacher has been a volunteer with the former Friends of Hospice Ottawa with whom she served as a Board member and was instrumental in the establishment of increased hospice services in the Ottawa area. Any person who is a Canadian citizen and who has made a significant, sustained and unpaid contribution to his or her community in Canada or abroad is eligible to be nominated for the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers. Nominees must have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to their community through their dedicated volunteerism. 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 reviewed by an advisory committee which then makes recommendations to the Governor General.

‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” an evening of dinner, music, silent and live auctions in support of Richmond Village Refugee Welcome and its effort to sponsor and support a refugee family, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12 starting at 5:30 p.m. at St. Philip’s Church Hall in Richmond.

Happenings at 2016 Richmond Fair

This is the second of eleven regional town hall meetings with this one focused mainly on former Marlborough Township. Each meeting will have a local flavour although residents from other communities are open to attend any meeting they wish.

While I will discuss the budget throughout the fall meetings, I am involved in another upcoming meeting that will deal specifically with the 2017 Budget. In fact, Ottawa residents will have several opportunities in the coming weeks to take part in pre-budget consultations, as part of the City of Ottawa’s 2017 budget development process. As was the case last year, I will be co-hosting a meeting with Councillors Michael Qaqish and George Darouze. This meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 5th at the Rideauview Community Centre in Riverside South, beginning at 7:30pm. These meetings, held prior to the tabling of the budget, will see City Councillors will work together in groups, inviting residents from their wards to share their comments on the 2017 budget, including suggested priorities and potential areas for savings. To assist residents in preparing for these meetings, background information and budget resource materials are available at ottawa.ca, including an interactive consultation tool which allows residents to plan a simulated municipal budget. Other nearby meetings include one at the Kinburn Community Centre on Wednesday, September 28th between 7:00pm and 9:00pm hosted by Councillor Eli El-Chantiry. Another will be held at the Nepean Sportsplex, also between 6:00pm and 8:00pm, on Tuesday, October 18th co-hosted by Councillors Rick Chiarelli, Keith Egli and Jan Harder. Residents may also offer budget input by sending an email directly to budget@ottawa.ca, by contacting their City Councillor or by tweeting @ottawacity using the hashtag #ottbudget.

Special to the News

Harvest time is coming up in Munster. Harvest Fest, hosted by the Munster Community Association, is being held on Saturday, Oct. 1, with activities for children and families from 12 noon to 4 p.m., followed by a dance for adults from 7 p.m. to 12 midnight. The afternoon family events will include the Big Sky Ranch Petting Zoo, a vendor market, a BBQ, a photo booth, crafts, games and other activities. There will be free admission for all of this. There will also be a harvest competition for both youth and adults for harvest-themed items including artwork, knitting, crafts, baking and poetry. The evening dance for adults will see entertainment by the Alison Wonderland Band. Duffer’s Food Truck will be there and adult beverages will be available. Admission will be $10 per person in advance or $15 per person at the door.

City treasurer Marian Simulik says the list of city projects will result in the city spending an additional $10 million they haven’t accounted for. The federal government announced a list of transitrelated infrastructure projects that would be funded, to a total of $156 million. City staff had to hastily put together the wish list of projects over a three-day period in late July, council heard on July 25. A few of the councillors – namely GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans – expressed frustration with the fact that they weren’t consulted over the list. Deans went so far as to suggest the issue be taken up during the mid-term governance review. “There are 24 members of council, not just one,” she said. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said if a wish list had been circulated to councillors, the Prince of Wales Bridge would have been at the top of his list. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said she’d like to see staff develop a business case for the Prince of Wales Bridge so the city can take advantage of future federal funding. The projects were selected in part, based on their stages of completion. Deans said she realizes it was summer, but there’s no reason councillors couldn’t have been given a heads up via email. But city solicitor Rick O’Connor said sending out emails on the issue could be interpreted as a closed meeting and cause the city to run afoul of the municipal act. The list of projects, which range from stage two light rail, to paving rural roads, was a good mix, insisted Mayor Jim Watson. “My role was to look at the list from a geographic point of view, to make sure the projects weren’t all in one part of the city,” he said. “There was no queue jumping, no cherry picking by ward, there was a decision of projects that make the most operational sense.” Watson said while the city wasn’t anticipating to spend the $10 million, he wasn’t in a position to “turn down $156 million.” The list was approved unanimously byOttawa city council.

Glow at gala matches glow in sky John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

There was a glow in the sky over Saunders Farm in Munster last Friday evening, Sept. 16 thanks to the Harvest Moon. And at the same time there was a glow of generosity and love on the grounds of Saunders Farm itself as over 400 guests attended the “40 Years of Love” gala celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The gala featured a welcoming reception in the Farm’s pavilion hall and its surrounding grounds, a silent auction, a “Field to Table” dinner in a giant white tent set up on the grounds to accommodate the crowd, a live auction, a stage performance and dance featuring the Star Tools physicians band and a campfire sing-along. Funds raised at this event are going to support the “Hopes Rising” campaign for mental health which will allow the Queensway Carleton Hospital to transform its physical space to enhance the therapeutic environment to allow for the provision of the best care for patients. Mental health, incidentally, was one of the first services provided by the Queensway Carleton Hospi-

tal, even before its opened its doors in 1976. And today the Queensway Carleton Hospital provides emergency mental health support, inpatient services and outpatient referral services. But more needs to be done which is why the Queensway Carleton Hospital is looking to enhance its mental health services for those in crisis and to strengthen its connections to community health support services. This gala attracted a host of corporate table supporters including Accenture Health & Public Service Team, Bell Canada, Bradley’s Insurance (Stittsville) Ltd., Precision ERP, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Cistel Technology Inc., Colonnade BridgePort, Emond Harnden LLP, Medical Office Design, Chris and Caitlin Neil, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, Parkin Architects Ltd., Chris and Erin Phillips, RBC Royal Bank, Ottawa Senators Foundation, TD Bank Financial Group, Wesley Clover Foundation, Yorkville Asset Management and the McCarney Family Foundation. Ferguslea Properties Inc. was the presenting sponsor. The silent auction set up in the pavilion hall at Saunders Farm where the gala’s recep-

tion was centred included a wide variety and number of items up for grabs to the highest bidder including tickets to a Toronto Blue Jays game, dinner for eight with Chris and Caitlin Neil, Ottawa Senators tickets to a November 3 game against the Vancouver Canucks, jewellery, a pair of red Adirondack chairs, a barbecue, numerous gift baskets, spa packages and even vintage wine bottles such as a 1998 Penfolds Grange Shivaz bottle valued at $1,100. But it was the live auction, held in the giant tent between the dinner and the Star Tools performance that generated much of the buzz and in total raised over $50,000, offering such items under the gavel of auctioneer Ryan Watson as a day on the Big Rideau with Erin and Chris Phillips and friends, a no-doubt unforgettable experience that drew a winning bid of $9,000. A Caymen Islands winter getaway to the South Bay Beach Club on the world famous Seven Mile Beach there drew a similar $9,000 winning bid. Other auction items like a Calabogie and Super Car Drive Like A Pro Experience, an adventure package to Canmore, AB and others also drew similar four-figure winning bids.

Another fundraising enterprise at the gala was a bucket list raffle at $100 a ticket offering a chance to win one of ten “experiences” such as a Rod & Reel Fishing Getaway, a winery tour in California’s Sonoma Valley, a Classic Wrigley Field Rooftop Experience, a Kennedy Space Centre Astronaut Adventure, a NASCAR Drive For a Day Experience, a Bloomingdale’s Shopping Spree, a six-night getaway in Ireland, a Royal Caribbean Cruise, a Lake Tahoe Weekend Getaway and An Ultimate Pro Sports Fan Getaway to a choice of a Major League Baseball, NBA, NFL, NHL or PGA event. The constant buzz of conversation that prevailed at the welcome reception and later at the dinner itself indicated that this gala was more than just a fundraiser – it was a fun raiser as well, with everyone chatting and sharing time with friends and acquaintances. And it all wound up with a performance by the rock ‘n roll doctors band, the Star Tools which has raised over $2 million for charity over the years. It only took seconds after the band started playing their nostalgic rock ‘n roll music that the dance floor in front of the performance stage was filled with dancers.

For those who wanted something different to wrap up the evening, it was there in the form of a campfire singalong. Committee members who organized this “40 Years of Love” gala at Saunders Farm include Sara Cinq-Mars who served as committee chair, Dorothy Laflamme, Cindy McEwen, Sue Cuddhey, Wendy Hubley, Alana Thomson, Brenda Clunie, Antonella Zourntos, Lydia Schouten, Catherine Farmer, Caitlin Neil, Jennifer McGahan, Jody Layer, Amy Tomlinson, Erin Phillips, Kathy Turner, Angela and Mark Saunders, Shelly Cybulski and Jill Byers. Former Ottawa Senators player Chris Phillips and his wife Erin were at this 40th anniversary celebration gala for the Queensway Carleton Hospital. Their children were born at the Queensway Carleton Hospital and they have made family emergency department visits there. From 2009 to 2013, they were involved in the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s “Care Grows West Campaign” which resulted in an expansion of the hospital and the addition of the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre. They are now serving as Honoured

Chairs of the “Hopes Rising” campaign for mental health at the hospital with the aim of bringing about improvements to the physical and therapeutic environment of the hospital’s mental health program to improve the health and lives of those living with mental health challenges. The Queensway Carleton Hospital is West Ottawa’s only full service community hospital, offering a diversity of medical and surgical programs and services. Over 1,900 health care professionals work at the 264 bed hospital. The Queensway Carleton Hospital serves a population of over 400,000 people and has one of the fastest growing catchment areas in Canada. The hospital enjoys the involvement of over 550 volunteers who volunteer thousands of hours each year. In the 2015-2016 year, the Queensway Carleton Hospital experienced over 77,000 emergency visits, had over 19,000 day stay surgeries, and served nearly 5,000 surgical inpatients. There were 2,397 births at the Queensway Carleton Hospital in the 2015-2016 year. The “Hopes Rising” campaign is a $5 million mental health fundraising campaign for the Queensway Carleton Hospital organized by the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation under its CEO and president Melanie Adams. Funds raised by the campaign will support an extensive renovation of the hospital’s mental health unit while also providing enhanced emergency programs and services for people in a mental health crisis. In addition, connections to community mental health support services will be strengthened. A Harvest Moon which prevailed on the night of the gala on Friday, Sept. 16 refers to the full moon nearest to the start of the fall equinox. It usually happens sometime in September. It is called Harvest Moon because the abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening which it provides was a traditional help to harvest crews in bygone years. Hence the term “Harvest Moon” came to be used to describe this early rising full moon.

CIBC Run for the Cure fundraiser at Five Guys Continued from page 34

These CIBC bank branches included the one at Grant Crossing as well as other branches at Terry Fox Drive and Fernbank Road, on Merivale Road, in Carleton Place and in Smiths Falls. These CIBC Run for the Cure supporters worked in shifts last Sunday, posting themselves at various locations in front of the restaurant as well as at highly visible spots along Hazeldean Road and the Grant Crossing access road beside the Five Guys restaurant, waving their pink signs, shaking their pink balloon bouquets and otherwise trying to draw the attention of passers-by to what was happening at the Five Guys restaurant right at that time, with funds being raised for the CIBC Run for the Cure. The sunny, warm weather that prevailed was an added plus for these promotion tactics. Jennifer Holmes, an organizer for this fundraising effort for the CIBC Run for the Cure, said that she simply asked the Five Guys restaurant at the Grant Crossing shopping area about the possibility of helping out the CIBC Run for the Cure and the restaurant readily agreed to being involved in the fundraising, donating one dollar for every burger sold between the allotted hours last Sunday. In addition, all of the tips received are being donated. It was back in 1992 that the first event for what was to become the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s CIBC Run for the Cure was held in Toronto. Since then, the CIBC Run for the Cure has become Canada’s largest single day volunteer-led event in support of creating a future without breast cancer. Today over 100,000 participants take part each year, raising over $20 million. This year marks the 20th year for CIBC’s partnership with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation as title sponsor of the event. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation has become the largest charitable funder of breast cancer research in Canada. Since 1986, it has given over $360 million to breast cancer research. The CIBC Run for the Cure this year is happening on Sunday, Oct. 2. The first Five Guys Burgers and Fries restaurant opened in 1986 in Washington, DC, growing and eventually offering franchise opportunities to others as of 2003. Now there are over 1,000 Five Guys locations in 47 States and in six Canadian provinces. Five Guys Burgers and Fries uses only fresh ground beef for its burgers and cooks its fresh-cut fries in pure peanut oil. Nothing is ever frozen. There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at a Five Guys restaurant.

You can enjoy an evening of creative readings at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursday, Sept. 29. That’s when members of the Stittsville Creative Writing Group will be hosting a “Gallery Night” to which members of the public are being invited to hear a live performance of creative writings by members of the group.

This “Gallery Night” will be held on Thursday, Sept. 29 from 6:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. with everyone invited to attend. The Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library is located on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, right beside the Ottawa Fire Station No. 81. The Stittsville Creative Writers Group is a non-judgemental group of like-minded people who are interested in writing and who meet once a week to read stories that they have written, either inspired by the suggested topic or by whatever

strikes their fancy. This Stittsville Creative Writers Group, which was formed more than four years ago, holds its weekly meetings at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursdays. In order to join this Stittsville Creative Writers Group, you must register with the library. Be prepared that there may be a waiting list to join.

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

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

Q: I have a corporation the shares of which are held only by me and members of my immediate family. Do I really need to have annual minutes? If your corporation is audited by the CRA and matters, such as the declaration of dividends, have not been formally documented by a written resolution of the directors or in annual minutes, the consequence can be severe. There are other risks that may be avoided by having minutes prepared annually. This is analogous to your dentist who encourages you to have good dental hygiene and periodic check-ups so that small problems do not become big problems. Practicing good corporate hygiene just makes good sense. The minimum legal obligation of a corporation is to hold an annual meeting of shareholders to consider the financial statements, elect directors and to appoint (or dispense with the appointment of) the auditor. In practice, and as permitted by statute, narrowly held corporations often dispense with an annual meeting in favor of signed resolution of all of the shareholders. The failure to hold annual resolutions, or obtain written resolutions in lieu, can lead to legal action

About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction. We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

from disgruntled shareholders. The practice of holding annual meetings (or resolutions in lieu) also tends to ensure that corporate matters requiring attention are addressed, such as share transfers, changes to directors, and address changes, which if left unaddressed could become significant problems. An effective method of ensuring good “corporate hygiene” is for the corporation to instruct its accounting advisors to provide legal counsel with an annual letter of instructions to document applicable financial matters. It is not uncommon that a new client brings us a minute book that has not been properly organized, or that has not been updated for many years. It is not a cause for embarrassment. We strongly encourage that the minute books be updated before an issue arises, such as a CRA audit.

Fair weather: 3 1/2 days out of 4 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Society which hosts the annual Richmond Fair, saw it as a success. “It was a very successful fair,” Dale said in reference to this year’s Fair, adding that opening with more attractions on the Thursday evening for the first time proved to be a wise move. It was the first time that gate admission was charged for the Thursday evening. Gate admissions for the Thursday and Friday of this year’s Fair exceeded last year’s Friday gate admissions. The demolition derby was held on Friday last year while this year it was switched to be one of the Thursday night attractions on the grounds. Dale points out that besides the derby and “toonie night” on the midway, Thursday at the Fair this year also included entertainment on the outdoor stage and the Homecraft Building was open to the public as well. An additional bleacher seating up to 1,500 people was added around the heavy horse

ring for the six-horse hitch class on the Sunday at 1 p.m. This six-horse hitch class is always one of the highlights of the Fair. The Rise 2 Fame Talent Search show at this year’s Fair on Sunday afternoon attracted 82 entries, just three less than last year’s show. This was the fifth year that this Rise 2 Fame Talent Search show has been held at the Richmond Fair. Performers in this show came from across the Ottawa Valley. The winners in this Richmond show are now eligible to compete in the Rise 2 Fame Talent Search show at the Western Fair next year. One highlight in the Homecraft Department at this year’s parade was the addition of a “antiques and collectibles” class. This proved to be very successful with over 100 entries submitted. Organizers expect that there will be even more entries next year now that Fair-goers have seen the class and the kind of items entered in it.

Three and a half out of four is pretty good and that’s what the Richmond Fair experienced for this year’s annual event. Three and a half days were good weather with only the Saturday afternoon and evening experiencing rainy conditions. The rain did impact some of the Fair’s attractions. The heavy horse pull scheduled for the heavy horse ring on Saturday evening was cancelled due to the weather. This was the second straight year that the heavy horse pull at the Richmond Fair experienced wet conditions. Last year there was also rainy weather and although the heavy horse pull did go ahead, there were virtually no spectators enduring the weather to watch the pull. The rainy weather on the Fair’s Saturday afternoon also meant that the light horse show did not complete its classes. The heavy horse show, which started a little earlier JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND than scheduled to try to avoid any Chad Henderson is the reserve champion rain later in the day, was also imshowperson in the 4H Dairy Show at the Richmond pacted a little as its last three classes Fair in Richmond. were rained out.

Fair parade is musical, visual treat John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Those watching the annual Richmond Fair parade this year got a musical as well as visual treat. The visual treat, of course, came from the colourful floats and other entries in this year’s parade which followed the traditional

route, leaving the assembling point at South Carleton High School and travelling north along McBean Street and then east on Perth Street in front of the fairgrounds. The parade left South Carleton at 11:05 a.m., with the parade taking 37 minutes to pass any point on the parade route. See PIPE BANDS, page 43

Pipe bands, 200th anniversary song in parade Continued from page 42

Among the floats in the parade were those of the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School, the Goulbourn Skating Club, the Richmond Nursery and the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association. The musical treat came not only from the two highland pipe bands marching in the parade but also from the float of the Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee. This float not only featured a background scene of heritage artwork done by organizing committee member Karen Xarchos but also was the moving stage for performers Doug and Pam Champagne as they performed their newly-written and recorded song “My Home Town (The Village of Richmond)” for those along the parade route. Copies of the new CD featuring this song were being sold at this year’s Fair as a fundraiser for the Richmond 200th anniversary celebrations. See PARADE INCLUDES, page 45

Parade includes Shriners’ Hillbillies

Continued from page 43

It proved to be a popular float, not only for parade watchers but even for parade participants as Nepean-Carleton MP Lisa MacLeod rode on the float, as did city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt who also had his own entry in the parade. A few raindrops had sprinkled from the skies just before the parade left the South Carleton High School grounds but other than that, there was no rain during the parade itself, although soon after the parade ended, rain started to fall, continuing throughout the rest of the day. Indeed, Richmond Agricultural Society president Ian Stackhouse and Homecraft president Laura Robertson were in the parade, riding in a convertible – with the top UP! Oh, ye of little faith! Not so with former Richmond Agricultural Society president Wayne Byrne who drove a vintage turquoise 1964 Corvair convertible in the parade with the top down. And he made it all the way without getting wet! This year’s parade was led by the Richmond Legion colour party as in past years, followed by a pipe band with members wearing red tartan kilts. The band was followed by a vehicle carrying long time Richmond Legion member and World War Two veteran George Murphy, followed by two wartimevintage military jeeps. Others represented in the parade with banners, vehicles or other forms of entries included Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson riding in an antique fire truck of the Bytown Fire Brigade,

Robert Ralph’s vintage car, Carleton PC candidate Goldie Ghamari, Stanley’s Christmas Village, the Richmond 4H Community Club, Anna and Elsa from the movie “Frozen,” the Carleton Federal Liberal Association, the Rural Ottawa South Support Services, the Highland Mist Pipe Band, the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers, Richmond Optometry, Fallowfield Tree Farm with a giant tree spade carrying a huge spruce tree, radio station 101 Country, the Goulbourn Historical Society with a pair of horses pulling a buggy with costumes characters in the buggy and walking with it, Certika Financial Group Ltd, Car-O-Practor AutoPro mechanical and collision service with a fleet of six blue vehicles of different shapes and sizes, J.W. Parks Excavating with a backhoe on a trailer, an antique farm plow on a trailer, a vintage tractor, a vintage Cavanagh Construction truck, TD Canada Trust branch staff from Richmond wearing green hats and green rain ponchos (it’s good to be prepared!), Southpaw Property Maintenance and five Ottawa Fire Services fire vehicles blowing their sirens and accompanied by Sparky the fire safety dog. And a highlight of the parade was, as always, the participation of the Tunis Shriners, with the Shriners Air Force, the Shriners Keystone Kops with Johnny Cash’s song “Folsom Prison Blues” playing from JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND the Keystone jail vehicle, the Shriners camel float, the Shriners motorcycle group and the Waiting for the Richmond Fair parade in Richmond last Saturday, Sept. 17 are (at the 14-member Shriners’ Hillbillies garden trac- front, from left) Joan Reid, golden retriever “Tessie” and Marie Sinclair and (back row) tor clan which included a person in an out- Amanda Reid with “Dolly.” house, a man in a bathtub and a truckload of hillbilly women with colourful hats.

St. John’s serves Fair meals Jeannie Langman Special to the News

This year it was the “turn” of St. John’s Anglican Church of Richmond to prepare the serve the meals in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds during the annual Fair. The meals were served from Thursday at noon until the Saturday night. St. John’s Anglican Church now has a new “hero” to thank for the great success that this year’s meals enjoyed. Al Cox came to the church’s rescue and headed up the parishioners to undertake feeding both judges and Fair workers as well as members of the general public. Parishioners had a fun time preparing the serving the meals thanks to the confidence shown by Al Cox. For the Saturday meals, Al brought in a co-worker Randy to help and his assistance proved invaluable for all of the parishioners involved. This was the first time that St. John’s Anglican Church participated in the “sponsorship’ recruitment plan originally initiated by St. Philip’s Catholic Church when it was responsible for the Fair meals a couple of years ago. This means going out and enlisting sponsors prior to the Fair to help with the expenses related to preparing the Fair meals. St. John’s wishes to give a big sincere “Thank You” to these sponsors whose generosity helped make this year’s Fair meals a

success. These sponsors include R. Baird Water Conditioning Ltd., Christopher’s Meat Market, The Marlborough Pub, Southpaw Landscaping, Richmond Auto Care, Tubman Funeral Homes, Flynn Landscaping, Bank of Nova Scotia, Richmond Village Pharmacy, Richmond Lodge, Pet Valu; South Carleton Physiotherapy, Golden Dell Farms Ltd., Tricia Schouten (Barrister & Solicitor), Rabb Construction, city of Ottawa GoulbournRideau ward councillor Scott Moffatt, King’s Your Independent Grocer, Cydney Green Real Estate, Nancy and Don Veilleux and Richmond Village Dentistry. St. John’s Anglican Church wishes to thank Ian Stackhouse for his freshly dug potatoes and Nancy Evoy-Veilleux and Don Veilleux for purchasing and picking up all of the food supplies. Thanks also to Marsha Deyell and Christine Jeffs for being there every day and all day to take on any tasks. Thanks also to the Allen’s and many more. Special thanks as well to Fr. Michel and Kathy Dubord for “coming back’ to help out and also thanks to the parish’s new interim incumbent Rev. Bill Byers and his wife Audrey for pitching in. Thanks to all of the church members who so willingly came out and helped peel, prepare and serve the meals as well as the many who generously gave donations. It wouldn’t be Richmond Fair without some rain but that too didn’t stop customers coming in for great tasting home cooked meals.

Nursery School takes ‘Best of Parade’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Richmond Cooperative Nursery School took “Best of Parade” honours in last Saturday’s annual Richmond Fair parade. The Nursery School float also was the winner in the class for organizations. Placing second in this organizations class was the Richmond 200th anniversary celebrations float featuring singers Pam and Doug Champagne and the Richmond fox mas-

cot. Third place in this organizations class went to the Goulbourn Historical Society’s entry featuring a pair of horses pulling an open carriage with a number of individuals in historic period costume either riding in the carriage or walking along with it. In the class for businesses in the parade, the Richmond Optometry was the winner, with the Richmond Nursery placing second. Third place went to The Car-O-Practor AutoPro entry which con-

sisted of six different vehicles featuring the Car-O-Practor blue and yellow colours. In the antiques class, the Massey Harris tractor entered by Barry Beach of Kanata took first place. Second place in this antiques class went to the antique car entry of Jack Scollan of Prospect. Wayne Byrne of Carleton Place placed third with his 1964 Corvair convertible. There were no entries in the novelty class in this year’s parade.

54 entries in demolition derby John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The demolition derby at this year’s Richmond Fair may have switched nights but it certainly retained its crowd appeal. Indeed, more bleacher seating was set up for this year’s Thursday evening derby than before and still it was totally filled up, with lots of derby fans standing virtually wherever they could to witness the derby action. “Motormouth” Brian Goudge, the demolition derby announcer, was once again at his best in keeping everyone in the crowd abreast of what was happening in the derby ring. This year’s demolition derby was also preceded by a monster truck demonstration in which a big-wheeled monster truck virtually “walked over” any regular-sized vehicles in its way. The only downside of this switch of the demolition derby to the Fair’s Thursday evening from its traditional Friday night date was a drop in the number of participants but there were still 54 cars in total which took part in the demolition derby. Entries in last year’s demolition derby were in the 80’s range. Weather for this year’s demolition derby was warm, following a sunny day. The award for the best painted car in this year’s demolition derby went to Josh Featherstone of Richmond. There were three heats held in the fourcylinder class while there were two heats in

the six-cylinder class. The eight-cylinder class had one heat. Paul Menzel of Richmond won the first heat in the four-cylinder class, with Ryan Jolicoeur of Richmond as the runner-up. Jesse Schultz of Mantoick won the second heat in the four-cylinder class, with Denis Emobnd as the runner-up. Trevor McLelland of Renfrew won the third heat, with Max Pilon of Clarence Creek placing second. This was a close heat with both Trevor McLelland and Max Pilon ending up tied. They split the prize money while they flipped for determining the heat winner which turned out to be Trevor. In the four-cylinder class final, Chris Boyer emerged as the winner with Denis Emond as the runner-up. In the first heat for six-cylinder cars, John Byers of Arnprior was the winner, with John Scissons as the runner-up. In the second heat for six-cylinder cars, Justin Jeffery emerged as the winner, with Matthew Carpenter of West Carleton as the runner-up. In the six-cylinder class final, John Byers continued his winning ways to win the final. Robbie Todd of Richmond finished in second. In the eight-cylinder heat, Matt Carswell was the winner, with Chris Hartwick of Pembroke as the runner-up. The eight-cylinder championship final did not change things, as Matt Carswell was the winner, with Chris Hartwick placing second.

Agricultural service diploma presented to John Brummell John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Normally John Brummell of the Stittsville News is taking photographs at the official opening of the annual Richmond Fair. This usually involves a photo of the recipient of the prestigious Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies’ agricultural service diploma and a photo of the formal ribbon cutting ceremony. But at this year’s Fair, he did not take these photos. That’s because at this year’s official opening ceremony, he was the photographee, not the photographer. Yes, that’s right, it was John Brummell who received this year’s Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (O.A.A.S.) service diploma and it was John Brummell who was given the honour of cutting the ribbon to officially open the Fair. This meant abandoning the camera, leaving the

photo taking to others for these two happenings at the Fair’s official opening ceremony on Wednesday evening, Sept. 14. In presenting the O.A.A.S. service diploma which is presented annually to an individual who has shown outstanding commitment to agriculture, Richmond Agricultural Society general manager Dale Greene noted that over the years John Brummell along with Stittsville News editor John Curry had provided the Fair with lots of publicity in the pages of the Stittsville News community newspaper. John Brummell is also a former Fair Board director and has been involved with the Homecraft Department including serving as a judge for a photography class and also helping with exhibit setup in the Homecraft building. He is also a passionate advocate for the 4H program. Indeed, in his brief

remarks following his receipt of the O.A.A.S. diploma, John said that he considered himself to be a very lucky person to be able to watch local youth grow up in the 4H program, allowing him to get to know them and their families and himself be treated virtually as part of the families involved. It was John Brummell who was given the honour of cutting the ribbon to officially open the 2016 edition of the annual Richmond Fair, with the ribbon being held by Richmond Agricultural Society president Ian Stackhouse and Homecraft president Laura Robertson. The presentation of the O.A.A.S. diploma to John Brummell was one of two special announcements made at the official opening of this year’s Richmond Fair. The other was the announcement that the light horse barn on the fairgrounds was being named “Burt’s Barn” in honour

of former Richmond Agricultural Society president Burt Grundy who passed away in 2014. He was president of the Agricultural Society in 2004 and 2005 when the light horse barn was constructed. Nancy Grundy, in her remarks, said that naming the light horse barn in honour of her late husband was a great tribute to him. She said that Burt loved the Richmond Fair and was supportive of all agricultural endeavours. Burt not only served as a director and president of the Richmond Agricultural Society but he also was involved for years with the Canadian Hereford Association, the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers and the Quarter Horse Association. Besides his commitment to agriculture, Burt was also involved with helping children impacted by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Russia. Those at the Fair’s official opening ceremony

gave a standing ovation in response to the announcement that the light horse barn would be named “Burt’s Barn” in honour of the late Burt Grundy. This year the Fair’s official opening ceremony was held in the beer garden tent on the fairgrounds rather than in the upstairs hall at the Richmond arena. City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt were both in attendance at the official opening ceremony, offering their greetings and good wishes for the upcoming Fair. In their remarks at the opening ceremony, both Richmond Agricultural Society president Ian Stackhouse and Homecraft president Laura Robertson praised the many volunteers who are involved in staging the annual Fair and also thanked the many sponsors who support the Fair.

President Stackhouse welcomed representatives from other fairs in the area who were in attendance at the opening ceremony. These included representatives from the fairs in Navan, Chesterville, South Mountain, Russell, Spencerville, Carp, Metcalfe, Delta, Renfrew, Beachburg, Lombardy and Perth. It was noted at the

Float features Richmond’s 200th anniversary song John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Richmond Fair parade watchers last Saturday, Sept. 17 got to hear Richmond’s 200th anniversary song. “My Home Town (The Village of Richmond)” was performed on the Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee’s float by Doug and Pam Champagne of Richmond who have written and recorded the song with the resulting CD being turned over to the organizing committee to be sold as a fundraiser for the 2018 celebrations. Doug Champagne had given a musical taste of this song at the launch of Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebration preparations last April but he and Pam had thought that they had about two years to finish up the song and produce the CD. But then a phone call from the organizing committee asking if the song could be ready for this year’s Fair so that it could be sold there as a fundraiser for the celebrations forced them to go into overdrive mode to produce the CD quickly. Doug and Pam were in the studio the week before the parade recording the song, with the CD being

ready just a couple of days before the parade itself. But they made it! Doug said last Saturday that he was pleased with the song and the CD, especially with the fact that the CD recording includes a mandolin in the instrumentation, played by Rob Dillon who was the producer of the CD. Doug and Pam were in the studio for about three to four hours recording the CD. Doug explained that with a new song like “My Home Town (The Village of Richmond,” it sometimes takes some time in the recording studio getting the phrasing down just right, even though he wrote the song in the first place. The CD was able to be produced thanks to the generosity of three sponsors who are identified on the CD label: Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond, JD Customz and Roth Construction. On the float in the Fair parade, Doug and Pam Champagne were joined by guitar player Marc Senachal as well as by Richmond’s fox mascot. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod also rode on the float and city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt also ended up on the float as well.

Agricultural Awareness Program at Richmond Fair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It was built in 1958 as a 4H calf building and became a wintertime curling rink in 1960, remaining home of the Richmond Curling Club until the current rink opened in 1980. And now this Quonset-style building serves at each and every annual Richmond Fair virtually as a classroom, as it is the home for the Fair’s Agricultural Awareness Program. This Agricultural Awareness Program is designed to educate elementary school students about food and where it comes from. It is grade four students who on the Friday of the Fair get to tour as class groups what is now known as the Agriculture Awareness Building and hear presentations by a number of presenters on specific topics related to agriculture. At this year’s Richmond Fair, topics ranged from honey bees to earthworms to weaving and spinning to horticulture to dairy farming to agricultural trivia. There were even presentations by the Goulbourn Museum and Manotick’s Watson’s Mill, both of which told about agricultural connections. The Goulbourn Museum staff on hand for the Agricultural Awareness Program told about the importance of farming in Canada during the period of the World Wars. And Watson’s Mill staff told the students about how wheat is made into flour at a grist and flour mill like Watsons Mill. Marianne Gee of Gees Bees Honey Company told the students about the importance of honey bees not only in producing honey but also in pollinating various fruits and vegetables, noting that one third of food today comes from plants that require pollinating. She wowed the students by telling them that a bee hive houses from 30,000 to 50,000 bees. She had a hive (empty of bees) at her presentation which she opened up to show the students what the interior looks like, with the cells in which the bees make honey. She donned a beekeeper veil and gloves to add reality to the opening up of the hive and even carried a “smoker,” a device used by beekeepers in real-life situations which creates smoke, tricking the bees into thinking that there is a forest fire happening and sets them to eating their honey, not paying attention to what the

beekeeper may be doing. Marianne told the students that each hive has only one queen bee who lays all of the eggs. Students also got to sample some honey, with Marianne explaining that the one pound jar of honey was the product of honey bees visiting two million plants to collect nectar to make the honey. “That’s why they call them busy bees,” she said to explain this whopping number of plant visits needed to make just one pound of honey. The Richmond Weavers and Spinners were set up in this Agriculture Awareness Building with presenters showing the students how fleece and wool are prepared for use in spinning. Judith Cox of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton was on hand in the Agriculture Awareness Building to explain to them about gardening. Geraldine (Gerrie) Baker of The Worm Factory, who presents environmental education programs in schools, told the students about earthworms and the role that they play in keeping soil healthy. She also explained about worm composting and how to recycle kitchen and food scraps by maintaining a worm composter. Caileigh Gallagher of The Travelling Farmer, which is an agricultural awareness program for youth implemented by Tilecroft Farms of Vernon with the assistance of a number of sponsors, played a game of agricultural Plinko which produced the topics for ensuing trivia questions about agriculture. For example, when the topic “chickens” was produced by the Plinko game, the trivia question dealt with what is a hen that lays eggs called. Three possible answers were suggested: nesters, layers and omelettes. And the correct answer was – layers! Regional dairy educators with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, Nancy Dodsworth and Roberta LeBlanc, told the students about dairy farming including how butter is made from milk. They also had a variety of milk products and milk-related items on display for the students to see. In the Agriculture Awareness Building, besides hearing the presentations, students also see displays of scarecrows, large pumpkins and long gourds.

The Agricultural Awareness Program conducted by the Richmond Agricultural Society at the annual Richmond Fair includes not only these grade four visits to the Agriculture Awareness Building and its various presentations but also has other components. Grade one to three students visit Kiddyland and its attractions while grade five and six students visit the barn and livestock areas of the Fair. Visiting these different areas allow students to progress in their knowledge about agriculture over the years as they visit the Richmond Fair.

On Friday, Sept. 16 at this year’s Fair, school buses started rolling into the fairgrounds just before 10 a.m., coming from a variety of schools in the wider western Ottawa area. A committee of the Richmond Agricultural Society organizes this Agricultural Awareness Program at the annual Fair. Members of the Agricultural Awareness committee for this year’s Richmond Fair were co-chairs John Gil and Susan Hughes, vice-chair Carol Demjan and members Roelie Jackson, Louise Rosch and Jolyne Ubbink.

Bring the OUTDOORS inside More and more people have taken to incorpora ng a bit of nature into the decor of their homes, and with good reason. Plants provide a nice touch of colour, create a relaxing atmosphere and help to purify the air in your house. So by fashionably using plants and ﬂowers as decora ve accessories, you’ll be able to breathe new life into your home. Making the inside of your home come to life couldn’t be easier. Simply arrange a cluster of assorted plants along a stretch of wall — in your living room or bathroom, for example — that has a window. Posi on a low and sturdy table

beneath the window and garnish it with an array of exo c plants varying in size and species. You can also place your flora on nested tables or shelves at different levels to create a stunning visual effect. No indoor garden would be complete without kokedema. A Japanese variant of the bonsai, this art form involves wrapping your plant’s roots in soil, moss and string. By hanging these charming li le gardens from your ceiling, you’ll be able to create a spectacular tableau of greenery virtually anywhere in your home. Keep in mind that certain plants don’t get

along well with others when planning the layout of your indoor garden. You can always consult a hor culturalist if you’re having trouble deciding on which plants to use.

SOME GOOD CHOICES The chlorophytum (or spider plant), ﬁcus, ivy, bowstring hemp, philodendron and gerbera are all species that require minimal upkeep and have air-purifying quali es. These types of plants help rid the air of carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, benzene and formalin.

Buying a house with OTHER PEOPLE? Are you tempted to buy a property with one or more other people so you can access the property market more cheaply? Admi edly, it’s an interes ng concept. But think carefully before you get involved in this type of real estate transac on. Buying a house with your sister or a friend is a complex project that could easily become disastrous. Here are three ps to help things go smoothly.

Choose your partners carefully Agreeing to share the responsibili es of a house with other people is like commi ng to a rela onship. Even though everyone gets along perfectly now, no one can predict what will happen 5, 10 or 15 years down the road. So, you’re be er oﬀ choosing partners that you know well and with whom you have already established a trus ng rela onship. A er all, you won’t be able to just walk away from the project whenever you feel like it.

Rely on experts Start by using the services of a real estate broker who is familiar with how co-ownership works. Talk about the advantages and disadvantages. And be pa ent; it may take several weeks before you find a property that meets everyone’s needs. When you find a property that interests you, hire a cer fied home inspector for a full pre-purchase inspec on report that can protect you in case of later disputes. Lastly, choose a trustworthy notary or lawyer who will be able to guide you through the buying process.

Plan for the worst-case scenario Should you buy a divided or undivided co-ownership property? Do you need to establish a co-ownership agreement? Your notary or lawyer can help you determine the best format. Even if you trust your partners completely, have a plan for the

worst-case scenario. If one partner decides to leave, will you be responsible for his or her mortgage payments? Can you buy him out? What happens if one of you dies? In short, buying a property with other people can be a

great opportunity to become a property owner. Just keep both feet planted ﬁrmly on the ground so you can make informed decisions. And whatever happens, remember the adage that short reckonings make long friends.

What does a GREEN HOUSE look like? If you believe a green home has to be built in the middle of the woods, think again. Many consumers are choosing to build eco-friendly homes in the city or the suburbs, in the heart of residen al neighbourhoods and near all the services you need. The three main features of an eco-friendly home: 1. A green home is more energy eﬃcient. Good sun exposure and the quality of the insula on can reduce energy costs by at least 25 per cent. 2. An eco-friendly home is in harmony with

its environment. The building plans take into account climate, soil quality, sunlight, wind, bodies of water, ﬂora and fauna. 3. The building or renova ng materials used have li le impact on the environment. They are recycled and don’t produce any toxic fumes.

DID YOU KNOW? Some real estate agents specialize in the sale of green proper es. Their exper se can help you get answers to all your ques ons so you can make a wise choice.

Three ways to use your CONVECTION OVEN (NC) Every me you prepare a meal with your oven, you may ﬁnd yourself wondering what in the world that convec on feature means. While many new ovens oﬀer convec on cooking, most home chefs don’t fully understand the feature or how to use it to their advantage. Jim Miller, cooking expert with GE appliances, explains that with tradi onal cooking, food is heated from the oven’s bo om baking element. With convec on, a fan circulates hot air over, under, and around the food. This is how convec on is able to 6 Floor Plan - Thursday, September 22, 2016

cook food more evenly and quickly, up to 25 per cent faster. You also achieve be er browning in a convec on oven. In a regular oven, the air can become humid since moisture has nowhere to escape, leading to food ge ng steamed rather than roasted. In a dryer convec on oven, foods will brown more easily while remaining moist and juicy inside. To use the convec on feature, simply lower your recipe’s recommended oven temperature by 25 degrees. Food cooks faster when using convec on, so check on it about

halfway through to see if any adjustments are needed. Some of GE’s ranges even feature automa c convec on conversion, making all these adjustments automa cally. As an added bonus, the lower cooking me and temperatures can help you save on your energy bills. The next me you’re entertaining or looking to experiment in the kitchen, try one of these cooking methods with your convec on oven: 1. Roas ng: Convec on is a winner for roas ng and crisping food to perfec on. The fat on meats renders quickly, helping to

seal in the juices while s ll browning the skin. 2. Baking: You can use convec on to bake mul ple trays of cookies at a me evenly, without having to rotate the baking sheets. Dough also rises higher, making for a flakier and lighter pie crust. 3. Dehydra ng foods: Convec on does this current cooking trend best. Fruits and meats will dry out quickly and uniformly. Tip: Any food that sets while cooking may be too delicate to withstand the fan, so avoid convec on for delicate cakes, flans, custards, and soufflés.

PHOENIX HOMES ready to launch Pathways at Findlay Creek Looking for a modern, vibrant community with the latest innova ve home designs, all at a price you can afford? Check out Pathways at Findlay Creek. Another quality community being built by Phoenix Homes, O awa’s most trusted builder, Pathways at Findlay Creek is a large master plan community with a huge variety of homes and prices.

With both 2 storey and bungalow singles on 35 or 50 foot lots, you will find value and ameni es most other builders can’t offer. Similar to the popular Phoenix Homes at Fernbank Crossing, the Pathways at Findlay Creek singles will become sought a er homes for genera ons to come, featuring high ceilings, larger windows and basements that can be completed to offer excep onal addi onal living space. “We have a huge selec on of well-thought out floor plans. Func onal and comfortable. Such a massive variety of products means our buyers are spoiled for selec on. There are just so many op ons. For example, all our Bungalows are designed to be both beau ful and prac cal, offering plenty of room for comfortable family living in a convenient layout. And our Single-Family homes

The top six late-blooming PERENNIALS As the leaves start to change colour and fall to the ground, many gardeners start to feel rueful at the dull sight of ﬂowerbeds past their prime. There’s hope, though, for gardeners reluctant to put away the secateurs and gardening gloves, even in the lower-number hardiness zones. With some planning and plan ng, you can develop late-blooming ﬂowerbeds that promise con nuing colour well past the end of summer. 1. Chelone lyonii, or turtlehead. Likes dampness and produces colourful, slope-headed blossoms. 2. Chrysanthemum. If you’re plan ng in the fall, get them in the ground fast, mulch them and keep them damp. 3. Eupatorium purpureum, or Joe Pye weed. Although you see it growing wild along roadsides, newer varie es are tamer and smaller.

4. Helenium autumnale, or sneezeweed. Although the plant doesn’t look like much through the summer, you’ll be rewarded with fantas c blooms in early fall. 5. Asters. These tough star-shaped ﬂowers keep the blooming season alive right into the fall. 6. Coneﬂowers. New cul vars promise pre y scents and colours.

SHRUBS FOR A GOLDEN SHOW Add some deep reds and golds to your fall pale e with shrubs that yield late ﬂowers or brilliant foliage. Try witch hazel, Solomon’s seal, ninebark or Crispa, an elm cul var. Even if you’re not set up to have a fall-blooming garden this year, it’s a ﬁne me to start planning for spring. Fall is the best me to plant many shrubs and bulbs for next year.

Fall HOME GARDENING shortcuts to avoid (NC) With winter looming around the corner, it’s easy to skip steps to quickly ﬁnish outdoor jobs before the cold moves in. But digging without knowing what’s underground could hurt you or others and leave you with expensive restora on costs and poten al legal ac on. For example, did you know that there’s an underground network of pipelines and cables just beneath your feet? Before you put your shovel in the ground, don’t forget that you must call or click before you dig. Whether you’re digging by hand or

excava ng with machinery, it’s the law for homeowners and contractors to contact Ontario One Call to ensure all buried natural gas lines are located before breaking ground. Line loca on personnel use special equipment to locate underground u li es for you on behalf of its member u li es. This is a free service that will help you protect yourself and others from unnecessary damage. Be sure to contact Ontario One Call at least one week before you start work digging at on1call.com or 1-800-400-2255.

Using ROSE GOLD in your home Rose gold, also known as pink gold, has gone from being a dis nc ve element of jewellery to one of the most sought-a er decora ve metals in home design. The so and warm atmosphere it creates makes it the perfect way to add a touch of class and elegance to your home. That’s why it’s one of the most alluring and o enused metallic shades when it comes to interior decora ng. Inspiring decor Rose gold soared in popularity thanks to its use in some of the biggest fashion shows in the world. This meless hue is now being used to ou it an increasing array of decora ve household objects: lamps, trays, vases and even garbage cans. Rose gold is also making its way into home furnishings and wall panelling. It pairs well with a variety of materials including wood, silver and copper. Its graceful and gentle colour can add a hint of luxury to any room. To be used sparingly Rose gold’s main virtue is that it complements any decor and suits any style. However, this metal should be used as a finishing touch; only a few light traces are needed to create a refined allure. Overusing its en cing lustre with too many accessories can have the opposite effect, making your room or decor appear somewhat tawdry and inelegant.

Special visitor greeted with morning blast

MARY COOK Memories The morning sounds never varied. Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morning without fail. Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox. Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a log from the wood box on top. I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click, and the door close behind him. Then I heard sounds I had never heard before... oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line!

Connected to your community

Well, did that get the whole house up in a hurry! He was swearing in German, so I knew it must be something serious. Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house! “Don’t open the door,” he hollered. And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife, and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk! Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom to get a clean pair of long underwear, and opening the door a bare crack, Mother threw out the whole pile onto the back stoop. We knew Father was headed for the Bonnechere River. The three brothers did up the chores that morning, avoiding walking near the dead carcass of the skunk, which Father had finished off with a shovel that lay on the ground beside it. The smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife, and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again! It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick, and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight, and we were

warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly. Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water from the reservoir. Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunk-drenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar, and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure. Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses. Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside, and not from Father. Emerson pretended to gag, and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry. There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

putting him in intensive care in the hospital and for two months he was on dialysis when suddenly his kidneys just started functioning again. This apparently happens very rarely but it did for Dave and he is now back healthy and working. Amazing! But Michelle has experienced another amazing thing with regard to her American Cocker Spaniel dog Lukah who is now back in good health thanks to the support and love shown by the Richmond community. Lukah is a rescue dog which Michelle adopted who had been abused in his earlier breeding existence. Lukah became a faithful dog for Michelle and a companion for her other American Cocker Spaniel named Pinch. The two dogs became inseparable but Pinch then died suddenly, leaving only Lukah as a faithful, placid pet for Michelle and Dave. But then about a year ago, Lukah developed a bump on the top of his head. She was assured that it was nothing to be concerned about but it got worse, growing to become the size of a fist. It was determined to be a benign growth but it needed removal for Lukah to retain any quality of life. However, a veterinarian’s estimated cost for the needed surgery and dental work was $2,300, far beyond Michelle’s financial resources. But a trip for dog grooming to Michelle at Blue House Pet Grooming on Perth Street changed all of this. She not only launched a fundraising drive for Lukah called “Loonies for Lukah” but also she advised Michelle Klobucar to go see Dr. Sue Martin of North Lanark Veterinary Services in Lanark.

‘Lukah’ is back to his gentle ways Continued from page 74

That’s because she had heard that Dr. Martin helped out in such situations. This proved to be the case as Dr. Martin did the required surgery for a much lower price. Meanwhile, the two Michelle’s – Michelle the dog owner and Michelle the dog groomer – set about to fundraise. Between the two of them, they raised $750 which almost covered all of the veterinarian’s cost. Dog owner Michelle approached everyone that she could in Richmond, telling the story about Lukah

Haunting Season at Saunders Farm begins on Sept. 24 John Curry

and collecting money here and there from receptive and compassionate listeners to the story of Lukah. Dog groomer Michelle even did a nail grooming session at the Pet Valu store in Richmond, turning over the proceeds for Lukah’s fundraising. Lukah is returning to Dr. Martin in Lanark to complete the dental work associated with the surgery – at no charge. Michelle Klobucar calls Dr. Martin a “phenomenal vet” who has just bent over backwards to help in this case. And Michelle also cannot say enough about the generosity and love shown to her and Lukah by the residents of Richmond. She calls it such a blessing to have had so many people donate to help, saying that it brings tears to her eyes when she thinks about all

those who contributed. She says that Richmond may be a little town but it is filled with lots of love. And now as Lukah resumes his gentle ways as a healthy dog in her life, Michelle is just so grateful and thankful to all those in Richmond who helped out in this situation, especially Michelle at Blue House Pet Grooming. She also is forever thankful to veterinarian Dr. Sue Martin in Lanark who has shown such care and compassion in this case. All of this may not be a miracle because the outcome was grounded in the love and compassion of the people of Richmond and Dr. Martin but it has been a miraculous outcome to what could have JOHN CURRY/METROLAND been a sadly tragic situation. Michelle now has both her Dave Danis (left) and Michelle Klobucar (right) are with Lukah who has partner and her dog back and recovered from surgery related to a fist-sized lump on his head. The surgery was possible thanks to the generosity of residents of Richmond. healthy in her life. Hallelujah!

Haunting Season begins at Saunders Farm in Munster this coming Saturday, Sept. 24, running through until Monday, Oct. 31 which is Halloween. And this year’s Haunting Season is special because it marks the 25th year since Saunders Farm held its first Haunting Season back in 1992. To mark this milestone, Saunders Farm has brought in elements from Carnivale Lune Bleue, a 1930’s era carnival that includes pieces features on HBO’s Carnivale. This carnival features a 1917 Eli Bridge No. 5 Ferris Wheel and a 1938 Allen Herschell three abreast wooden carousel. Rides will be offered on the carousel and ferris wheel during the daytime and there will be classic games offered as well such as a high striker. The “Big Top Fun House” will feature interactive experiences suitable for a younger audience. However, once darkness falls, this “Big Top Fun House” will become the “Big Top Fear House,” serving as the sixth haunted attraction at Saunders Farm and perhaps its most terrifying “fright site” of all. Hours of operation for this year’s Haunting Season at Saunders Farm is being extended to 11 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday nights. Ticket prices and hours of operation can be found on the website www.SaundersFarm.com.
