wanting to be involved in her community after retiring from her career in nursing. As a member of the WI, she has been involved with various fundraising ventures for organizations such as the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, 4H and local hospitals. She has been involved in catering and taking part in local fairs as well as forming friendships with other members.

Dunrobin soccer star named to Danone Nations Cup team BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

A love of soccer is bringing a Dunrobin boy to New York after being named to Canada’s Danone Nation’s Cup Team. The Danone Nations Cup, established in 1999, is the world’s biggest soccer tournament featuring teams from 32 countries made up of children between the ages of 10 and 12. Players across the country are selected to attend a training camp and qualifying game. The hopefuls attend one training camp, are split in to two teams and face off against each other for the right to represent Canada at the tournament in September. Dunrobin resident Ben Penticost, 12, was selected for the try out, played for the winning team and will represent Canada. Ben got his start in soccer playing in West Carleton in U4 Timbits soc-

Dunrobin’s Ben Penticost, photographed here practicing with his club team Futuro Soccer Academy on Aug. 1, will represent Canada on its Danone Nations Cup team and play in a tournament with teams representing 32 countries and the best 10 to 12 year-old soccer players in the world.

Jake Davies/Metroland

cer. His current club team is Ottawa’s Futuro Soccer Academy where he plays U12. “I’ve been playing since I could walk,” Ben told the West Carleton Review following a Futuro practice

at Ottawa’s Adult High School, Tuesday, Aug. 1. “His dad is from England, so soccer is pretty important,” mom Patricia Penticost added, smiling. Penticost competes in the East Region Soccer

League in U13, one age level up from his actual age. Soccer has already taken him all over the world. He has played in Barcelona and will be playing in England, Aug. 9 to take

on the top five teams in his age group in their country. Penticost is a natural athlete who loves to compete. He played organized hockey earlier but quit to focus on soccer. “I’m a striker and I like

to score goals,” he said. “I think I realized I was better at soccer than I was at hockey. But I’ll play any sport.” And according to his mother, will turn any task or chore in to a competition with his brothers. Last May, Ben was invited to tryout and headed to Montreal “I thought it would be a good experience and a great opportunity to meet some new kids,” he said. Twenty-four 24 kids were selected from the tryout and attended a training camp from July 2 to July 6. At the end of the camp, the coaches held a draft to divide the kids in to two teams. The coaches flipped a coin to see which team they would coach. “I was mostly nervous leading up to the game,” Ben said. “We each thought the other team was the better one. It was very stressful.” The game took place

Indoor

July 6 at Pierre-Laporte Park in Boucherville, and Team Red defeated Team White in penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw in regulation time. Ben will be heading to Montreal on Sept. 18 for a threeday training camp before heading to New York for the four-day Danone Nations Cup. “I’ve met a lot of new friends and we’ve become pretty close,” Ben said. “So, I’m looking forward to being in the same place with them and competing with them as a team. The best experience was probably following the shootout when we were running to congratulate our goalie. We surrounded him and went crazy.” Patricia, who will attend the tournament with the rest of the family, says she had enjoyed the whole process so far. “To see that amount of dedication, effort and heart at age 12, is just amazing,” she said.

The Torbolton Ridge forest is a beautiful, geographical landmark in West Carleton, the perfect setting to host the Association of Forest Therapy and Nature Programs forest therapy guide training program from Aug. 6 to Aug 13. One of the main focuses in the program is Forest Therapy. Forest Therapy, also known as Shinrin-Yoku, refers to the practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness and happiness. The practice follows the general principle that it is beneficial to spend time bathing in the atmosphere of the forest. There is a long tradition of this in cultures throughout the world. Program director Sandy Mark says the EcoWellness Centre is the perfect setting for an event like this. “Since we have a wonderful forest, we are keen to take the lead in developing and providing this information and service in the Ottawa area,” Mark said. “The class is full with 16 folks, many from the USA coming to learn about this method.”

This week the centre is hosting the Association of Forest Therapy and Nature Programs forest therapy guide training program.

The year of La Machine

t may be Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 but now this year is going to be known as the Year of La Machine. Even Ottawa 2017 organizers were amazed at the public’s reaction to this four-day downtown stroll by Long Ma the dragon-horse and Kumo the spider. An estimated 750,000 people swarmed the 27 kilometres of Ottawa streets in the downtown core where the pair of giant machines strolled from July 26 to 29. It left both Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme singing the praises of the event. Laflamme touted it as writing “a page in Ottawa history” while Watson called it a “fairy tale weekend that residents and visitors will never forget.” And, of course, the spinoffs in terms of business and international exposure were immense. Making the event even more memorable, if that could be, was the fact that glorious weather prevailed for the four days, the first real summer experience of the year after what seemed like daily rain throughout the spring and early summer. So, all in all, La Machine was an event that made its mark and in today’s world that craves spectacle and wonderment, La Machine rose to the top. As Watson

said, it “captivated the imagination” and “transformed our city into an enchanting and mesmerizing setting.” And while all of this is so true, we have to wonder about this event’s connection with Canada 150 and the $3.5-million expenditure from the city’s Canada’s 150 funding. It undoubtedly wrote a page in Ottawa history, as noted. The behaviour of the crowds showed Canadians to be who they are — a respectful, law abiding, appreciative bunch. Yes, this showed Canadians at their best. But La Machine was an event that could happen in any year. There was nothing linking it with Canada’s 150th. Do we have any better appreciation of our country and its history and its future from this La Machine event, a production of a street theatre production company from France? Surely the goal of Canada 150 celebrations should be to celebrate who we are as Canadians, to discover how we got to where we are today and to explore where we are going in the future. Alas, La Machine perhaps did not do this but, you have to admit, it sure was a fun and memorable experience and perhaps this says more about us as Canadians today than anything else could.

Road trip: the summer of spontaneous adventures

recently returned home from another road trip with the kids. My house looked abandoned. In place of the lush gardens of May and June was a weedy, overgrown mess. The lawn was uncut. The flower baskets sat dying on the front porch. I declare this a summer win. In early summer, I had a realization that at five, 11 and 12, my kids were the perfect ages to travel. For the first time, bladder control and reasonability would overcome their need to stop every 20 minutes on the highway. The older ones can navigate on a map, pitch a tent and entertain themselves for hours on end. Summer camp and work contracts be darned, I decided to make this the summer of spontaneous road trips.

I’ve clocked 6,000 kms on my minivan this month, compared to our annual average of 10,000. We’re resting for a week, but the kids are conditioned to travel. I’ve decided to fulfil my lifelong dream of visiting Prince Edward Island. The trip is mapped out, the tent is drying on the line, and we are going for it. The kids are begging for more upscale accommodation, but I’ve told them Old Blue (our five-man Costco tent) is the ticket to our freedom. An entire week camping in Prince Edward Island National Park will cost a little over $200. Apologies to the neighbours for the state of the garden. I promise my husband is still living here.

Here comes the 18th annual garlic festival at Carp fairgrounds SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

It’s going to be garlic here, there and everywhere at the Carp fairgrounds this coming weekend, Aug. 12-13. That’s because it’s the 18th annual garlic festival, running from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12 and then from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13. And when we say there’s going to be garlic, we meant there’s going to be lots of garlic with 35 garlic vendors on site along with the usual Carp Farmers’ Market vendors. Up to 86 different varieties of fresh garlic will be available. There’s going to be fresh garlic, garlic spreads, garlic dips, garlic dressings, garlic pesto’s and more. There will be garlic products such as garlic baskets, pottery garlic holders and more. There will be garlic tastings as well. There will also be garlic braiding demonstrations, garlic cooking demonstrations, garlic decorations and a garlic contest. There will be information sessions covering just about anything imaginable to do with garlic. In addition, the air will be filled with garlic aromas. This garlic festival is known for its gorgeous booth displays. Each year one vendor is awarded the Jim Craig Memorial Award for having the best booth. Jim Craig was the Carp Farmers’ Market manager for a number of years. Garlic festival booths are judged for overall appearance, creative use of garlic in displays, educational elements and more. This year Jim Craig’s daughter Sue will present a golden garlic pendant manufactured by Carp Farmers’ Market vendors Eric and Christine Brackenbury to the vendor who has gone above and beyond in his or her booth presentation for this year’s garlic festival. And what a schedule of events is planned for this year’s garlic festival at the Carp Farmers’ Market. All of the events will take place in the Market’s events tent. Events on Saturday, Aug. 12 will include a best garlic contest with garlic growers vying for the top prize in five categories. The entries can be viewed at the events tent from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The garlic tasting will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12 and will continue through to the Sunday afternoon. These garlic tastings will allow festival-goers to taste and compare different varieties of garlic. At 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, there will be a ce-

lebrity chef demonstration featuring Melanie Boudens of Grow Your Roots. Melanie started her business as a food court vendor at the Carp Farmers’ Market and now operates her own vegan café on Hazeldean Road in Kanata. She will be demonstrating how to create three simple “swaps” for protein, cheese and creamy sauces. At 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, there will be a tasting of samples of sweets made from garlic. At 12 noon on Saturday, Aug. 12, Catherine Cheff from Cheff Fields Farms will give a demonstration on braiding garlic. She has been growing and braiding garlic for over 20 years. At 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, Natasha LeBlanc from Tasha’s Table will give a celebrity chef demonstration, cooking up chimichurri burgers with a grilled peach salad. Sunday, Aug. 13 will see more special events at this garlic festival. The garlic tasting in the events tent will continue. Catherine Cheff will be back to share her braiding techniques and at 11:30 a.m., award winning garlic grower John Moore will be talking about growing great garlic. He will also be taking questions. There will be other demonstrations in the afternoon before the 2017 garlic festival winds up at 3 p.m. Garlic has a history of human consumption and use going back several thousand of years and has long been a common seasoning around the world. Garlic is native to Central Asia and Iran. It was known

to the ancient Egyptians. A species of onion, it is a bulbous plant that grows up to four feet tall. Worldwide production of garlic in 2014 was 25 million tonnes, with China accounting for 80 percent of this amount. India was the second largest producer of garlic in the world that year. Garlic is used around the world for its flavor as a seasoning or condiment. Garlic bulbs are divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. These garlic cloves can be eaten raw or cooked or even for medicinal purposes. Garlic cloves have a pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens with cooking. Other parts of the garlic plant are also edible. The leaves are sometimes eaten. They are milder in flavor than the bulbs. Garlic can be applied to bread, usually as a butter or oil, to create such classic dishes as garlic bread, garlic

toast and crostini. The flavor can vary in intensity and aroma depending on the method of cooking. Garlic was rare in traditional English cuisine and this attitude carried over with English settlers to North America so that garlic was not a common ingredient in North American food until more recent times. Garlic contains several nutrients in rich amounts including vitamins B6 and C. It also has dietary minerals such as manganese and phosphorus. Garlic is also a moderate source of some B vitamins and some dietary minerals like calcium and iron. Some believe that garlic can be a treatment for the common cold. However, a review of clinical trials to date shows that there is insufficient evidence to determine the effects of garlic in preventing or treating the common cold. Garlic is known to cause bad breath and body odour.

Lowell Green’s book receives national award BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

John Curry/Metroland

Radio personality, author and West Carleton resident Lowell Green holds a copy of his new book, “Amazing But True! 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada.”

Lowell Green’s recently published book Amazing But True: 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada has received a national award. The book has been declared a Canada Book Awards winner. This is an award presented to authors of books that display literary merit as well as a positive theme. Although Green, a well known Ottawa area radio personality who is a West Carleton resident, has written ten books, this is the first one to win such a national award. It is a 314-page book celebrating Canada’s 150th, containing 150 stories about Canada and its amazing people who have probably never been heard before thanks to extensive research by the author. Each story is told from a unique perspective or is a story that is relatively unknown to Canadians. One of these stories involves the Diefenbunker in Carp. Another deals with the duels fought by the Duke of Richmond. All of the stories are brief, usually just two pages in the book. All of them are written to be read in two minutes or less, with the reader able to read them in whatever order strikes his or her fancy. The stories bear titles like The Grandest Canyon, One Tough Woman!, Totem Pole Pride, The Potato Accord, The Savage’s Wig, The Water Superhighway, Canadian Camels, The Great Bluenose Boondoggle,

The Pianoman!, 9/11 and the Stanley Cup, You’re not legal, You’re a Woman!, Forget the Red Baron!, The Almost Pig War, The Duelist, The Kidnapping, The Best Damn Satellite in Space, Marilyn Bell, Pirates of the Thousand Islands, The Newfoundland Florence Nightingale, Goodbye Colonel By, and The Avro Arrow Mystery. As is stated on the book’s fly-leaf: “It’s all here. One hundred and fifty of the most interesting, wildest, craziest, far out, believe it or not stories about Canada ever published. This is not trivia. These are true stories about a country and its amazing people that you’ve probably never heard before, often because Lowell has done the research no one else has ever done. You will be intrigued, shocked, amused and always entertained and yes, you’ll learn some pretty amazing but true things about this country.” The book was released about three months ago and continues to sell well throughout the Ottawa Valley. Green feels that Amazing But True: 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada is more than just a book but rather is “a keepsake” for Canada’s 150th birthday. He believes readers will not only learn about Canada by reading the book but will come to realize that Canada’s history is far from bland and indeed, as shown in these 150 stories, really exciting. The book, which sells for $26.95, is available at Chapters as well as various independent outlets around the area. The

The Canada Book Awards program recognizes and promotes outstanding achievements by Canadian authors. It is not a contest with an annual deadline, rather is a program that honours outstanding Canadian literary works regardless of when they were published. Canada Book Award winners are honoured for their literary accomplishment and for being inspirational for Canadians. All books nominated are assessed and reviewed, with books chosen as Canada Book Awards winners being listed on the Canada Book Awards website. The winners receive a gold-embossed award certificate and are able to use the Canada Book awards winner emblem for promotional purposes. The Canada Book Awards program was founded by Canadian author Randall Dale Chipkar to recognize and promote literary accomplishments by Canadian authors. Books of every topic and category are eligible for nomination in the Canada Book Awards program.

More asphalt for West Carleton Elkland team wins, has MVP player SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

West Carleton roads are getting a bit more new asphalt than originally planned this year. Ottawa city council approved $400,000 more for unscheduled asphalt road resurfacing plus another $2.5M for road resurfacing in a motion last May. These funds are allowing for the resurfacing of the curve on Donald B. Munro Drive from Panmure Road to Lomar Road. This meets the criteria for this funding, which is that the resur-

facing is for a specific area of road in need of resurfacing and is not resurfacing of a lengthy stretch of road. In addition, as a result of favourable contract prices for resurfacing this year, the city has been able to go ahead with a number of additional resurfacing projects beyond those originally anticipated. The full length of Crown Point Road from Dunrobin Road north to Opeongo Road is going to be resurfaced. This road is near the Girl Guides’ Camp Woolsey.

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Elkland Moose Lodge 746 team from Pennsylvania not only won the tenth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp on the weekend of July 28-30 but also had the tournament MVP and was the team that travelled the farthest to play in the tournament. The tournament MVP was Justin Cevette of the Elkland squad. The winning Elkland team received the Joel Langford Memorial Trophy, named after a well known local fastball player from Orleans who died unexpectedly in 2015 at the age of 26. He had played fastball from a very early age and was a member of the Canadian Men’s National Team Athlete Pool at the time of his death. He competed with Team Canada at the 2014 Pan American Softball Championship in Argentina. The ten teams in this year’s Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament included Micksburg Twins, West Carleton Electric, Party Lake, Ottawa

Valley A’s, Goodfellow’s, Kanata Pirates, Pickering, Elkland, Broker4Tickets and Napanee. Elkland defeated Micksburg 9-1 in the championship game. Proceeds from the tournament are going to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation to help less fortunate kids to compete in sport. Gil Read was a successful softball coach for 25 years at the local, provincial, national and international levels. He died in 2007 at the age of 53. He had an absolute love of the sport of softball, even going to the extent of setting up an indoor batting cage in the garage of his Kanata home. He was well known as a softball hitting instructor and would videotape players hitting off a tee at the batting cage so that he could analyze the swing on video and help make them better hitters. Gil was the team leader for the Canadian women’s softball team at the Olympics in Athens in 2004. As a coach, Gil started

with t-ball in the early 1980s in Kanata and worked his way up, taking the Ontario men’s under 18 team to gold medal victories at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games. He coached the University of Ottawa Women’s fastball team for two seasons, winning a provincial silver medal in 2005. He guided various Kanata age group teams to five provincial class A titles and he participated as a coach in three national championships. He served on the coaching committee of Softball Canada from 1995 to 2002 as a coaching instructor and master course leader. He served as president of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association in 2001 and 2002. He was a member of the Softball Ontario board of directors from 2002 to 2004 and again in 2006. In 2005, the Ottawa Sports Awards dinner honoured Gil with the Mark Lowry Memorial Award for lifetime achievement in administration and volunteerism.

Venta founder spent life dedicated to child development From Front page

The 50 acre rural site on Old Carp Road near Carp which became the home of the new Venta Preparatory School in 1981 had been the location of the University of Ottawa Child Study Centre’s summer camp. Dr. Sidlauskas had purchased the property in 1958 and had developed the summer camp. This camp was renovated to become the Venta Preparatory School, a day and boarding school, with Dr. Sidlauskas as the principal, a position she held until 1993. Dr. Sidlauskas remained involved in the operation of the Venta Preparatory School right up to her death, serving as a psychologist and sitting on the school’s board of directors until shortly before her death. She was a familiar sight at the school’s drama and musical presentations. Dr. Sidlauskas was presented with a Letter of Commendation signed by Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and West Carleton_March city councilor Eli El-Chantiry in Dec. 2015. It was presented “in recognition of her 60 years of dedicated service to children and youth

Dr. Sidlauskas’ philosophy was template for Venta curriculum. of Ottawa-Carleton.” Dr. Sidlauskas, known as “Doc” to her protégés and students, had an exceptional life, not only in founding the Venta Preparatory School but also in the other events of her life. Born in Lithuania in 1914 as the seventh of nine children, she completed her undergraduate and Masters level studies in her home country of Lithuania at the University of Kaunas, graduating in 1936. She then went to Italy on a scholarship to begin her Ph.D. program

in psychology at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. In June 1939, with just her Ph.D. thesis to complete, she returned to her native Lithuania where she was caught up in the chaos happening just before the beginning of World War Two. She got a job with the Italian Embassy in Kaunas thanks to her fluent Italian. In 1940, Lithuania was occupied by Russia, with the round up of Lithuanian intellectuals making it dangerous for her to remain there. She was accused of being a spy but with the help of the Italian ambassador, she escaped in Aug. 1940 to Italy. She was not to return to her native Lithuania again until 1970. In 1943, she earned her Ph.D. in child psychology in Milan and remained in Italy, teaching at the university until 1948 when she immigrated to Canada as a refugee. She spent one year as an Honourary Fellow at the University of Minnesota and then, in 1951, she accepted a full time position at the University of Ottawa’s School of Psychology. She remained on the teaching staff there until her retirement in 1979, mentoring and directing the theses of MA and PhD

candidates in Child Psychology. In addition to her teaching and administrative responsibilities at the School of Psychology, in 1958 Dr. Sidlauskas founded the University of Ottawa Child Study Centre. She remained Director of the Centre until her retirement from the university in 1979. After her retirement from the university, she was clinical director of the Canadian Association of Learning Through Listening in Aurora and also was a consultant psychologist to Toronto Montessori School and Montcrest School in Toronto. In 1981, Dr. Sidlauskas founded Venta Preparatory School and was the school’s principal until 1993. Venta Preparatory School,

an independent school, is a charitable organization offering both boarding and day programs for children from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 10. At Venta, the delivery of the curriculum is tailored to suite each individual student. The maximum class size is 12 students, following the belief that only in small classes and with teachers who know each child’s needs can a student feel secure and develop to his or her full potential. The individualized programs for each student are based on psycho-educational testing which each student undergoes. All students participate in physical education and art and music are mandatory. The school’s focus of helping

children realize their full potential is based on Dr. Sidlauskas’ own research. Among its students over the years have been former Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s children and also Kiefer Sutherland who has become a well known actor. Visitation was held at Dr. Sidlauskas’ home on the grounds of the Venta Preparatory School at 2013 Old Carp Road at Carp on both Aug. 14 and Aug. 15, with a Mass of Christian Burial held at St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church on March Road on Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 2 p.m. Burial followed in the parish cemetery. Following the burial, a reception was held in the church hall.

immediately before the events of the original Star Wars film. The movie follows a group of rebels on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star, the Galactic Empire’s superweapon. The film is different in tone and style from the traditional Star Wars film. It has been praised for its acting, action sequences, musical score and darker tone. The film received two Academy Award nominations, one for Best Sound Mixing and one for Best Visual Effects. The movie to be shown on the second evening, Tuesday, Aug. 15, will be Beauty and the Beast, a 2017 American musical romantic fantasy film. The film has been praised for various performances by cast members, its visual style, its production merits and its musical score. The film is the highest grossing live action musical film ever and the highest grossing film so far in 2017. Last year which was the sixth annual year for these drive in movie nights at the Carp fairgrounds, the two movies shown were Zootopia and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In 2015, there was only one movie shown which was Paddington. There was, though, pre-show entertainment presented including Ms. Twisty, a balloon artist.

Thrashing time was like a holiday for Mary

unt Lizzie called it “threshing,” but everyone I knew called it “thrashing.” Father said his sister got high-minded when she moved to Regina and left the farm at Northcote behind, and sometimes he had no idea what she was talking about. Anyway, it was thrashing time and to me it was like a holiday ... just like the Saturday night card parties, only there was no music. Early in the morning, farm neighbours would start to arrive, and they would stand around the barnyard, smoking their pipes, waiting for Mr. Briscoe to bring the big thrashing machine, pulled down our long lane by his tractor. There was nothing to do until that boozer of a machine was situated, and the daylong work began. As many as 15 neighbours would be there, and that meant they would have to be fed their noon meal, as the thrashing could go on until late in the afternoon.

that I was, said she couldn’t see any reason why we couldn’t go in and get ourselves a plate full of dinner, and eat it in the grape arbour. I said it was probably better if we waited until the men were served, and then we could venture in. Velma was all for charging in right then, but I told her she could go if she wanted, but I was waiting until I knew the workers were digging into their through the opened window. pies. And so we sat it out until The clatter of dishes as the big table was being set, the bake Velma took a peek in through the window and said the pie was table used, and another make on their plates. shift table made of planks on It didn’t take long for the two ‘sawhorses,’ covered with men to clean their plates and flour bag sheets, all needed to head out the door to the job at feed the neighbours who had come to help with the thrashing. hand.

Memories

Mother and my sister Audrey would be up before dawn, and the old Findlay Oval would be fair hopping by the time the first few neighbours had arrived. That year my best friend Velma came across the 20 acre field. With the wild rush to have dinner ready at the stroke of 12, Mother and Audrey had no time to bother with the likes of me ... barely seven years old. And so Mother said I could have Velma over to play. We sat in the grape arbour in the two-seated swing, and could hear the kitchen sounds coming

There wasn’t a scrap of pie. It looked like Mother and Audrey were all in. It didn’t take long for me to realize we had walked right into a pile of work. Mother said we could fill the dishpan with hot water from the reservoir, and start into washing up, and Velma could grab a clean tea towel. Well, that certainly wasn’t what either of us had in mind! Mother made sure we had everything in order for the job at hand, and then she and Audrey took their loaded plates out into the grape arbour, and it wasn’t long before we could hear the sound of the swing seats gently going back and forth. Velma wanted to know how we got into cleaning up the dishes. I didn’t have an answer. I took a peek out the kitchen window. The swing had stopped moving. Audrey was asleep in one seat, and Mother in the other. My friend and I had no choice but to dig into clean-

ing up the dishes. Just when we thought we were finished, Mother said I was to get a pail of fresh water from the pump, and chip off shards of ice from the icebox, take a tin cup out of the cupboard, and take it out to the workers in the barnyard. There was no time left in the afternoon for Velma and me to play, and right then I decided when it came time for the thrashing machine to go to her farm, I would stay home. Spending a whole afternoon cleaning up the kitchen after more than a dozen farmers had eaten a full meal, was not my idea of a fun time. The last I saw of Velma that day, she was heading across the 20 acre field with her head down, and every step an effort.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Food Policy Online Survey Every day, Canadians make decisions about food that directly impacts their health, the environment, and their community. In order to better understand the priorities of the public on food-related issues and opportunities, the government has released an online survey for Canadians to fill out. Those who participate will be invited to share their views on four major themes: increasing access to affordable food; improving health and food safety; conserving our soil, water, and air; and growing more high-quality food. The results of the survey will be reported back to the Government of Canada and will be used to inform key elements of a new national food policy, but the deadline is fast approaching. Visit www.karenmccrimmonmp.ca/food by September 18th to find out more and to have your say.

Transportation Bill of Rights On Monday, as a result of inclement weather at their destinations, over 20 aircraft were forced to divert to Ottawa International Airport. Most of these flights were handled effectively at the airport by the airlines and the authority. However, the poor treatment of passengers on a certain flight has reaffirmed the importance of establishing a Passenger Bill of Rights, currently before government as Bill C-49. This fall, Bill C-49 will be heading to the House Transport and Infrastructure Committee, which will be reconvening a week early to properly study the Bill. After the important work in committee is finished it can be sent back to the House of Commons for final passage.

NAFTA Board In advance of the upcoming NAFTA negotiations, the government will be strengthening Canada’s diplomatic outreach to the United States with the appointment of new political delegations. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Chrystia Freeland, has also created a new NAFTA Council, which will bring together experts from a wide range of political and professional backgrounds who will offer their best strategic advice in support of Canada’s negotiations. Working together, these individuals will further strengthen Canada’s NAFTA team. The members were chosen to demonstrate the government’s unified and non-partisan Team Canada approach to the negotiations, which are set to start August 16.

St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour, which opened in 1961, is a junior kindergarten to grade eight school of the Ottawa Catholic School Board.l

St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour opened in 1961 SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Education at Fitzroy Harbour goes back to as early as 1832, when Charles Shirreff provided a log building that served as a school as well as a community church and hall. By 1847, there were seven log school houses in Fitzroy township and by 1864, there were 11 school houses. Each of these schools was governed by three trustees, a system which continued until a township-wide school board was established in 1963, followed by creation of a county-wide board of education in 1969. Fitzroy Harbour had one of these early school houses and in 1864, enrolment was around 40 pupils. Some of these pupils were undoubtedly Catholic since Fitzroy Harbour had an established Catholic community as early as 1850. But, it was not until 1961 that Fitzroy Harbour had its own Catholic school, which was built to accommodate students from not only the Fitzroy Harbour area but also the Constance Bay area. Two Catholic school boards had been established as a prelude to the building of this new Catholic school in the community. The first trustees for the new Fitzroy Catholic School Board were Earl Stanton, Jim Lunney, and Jack Doyle. The original trustees for

the Torbolton Catholic School Board were Tom McHale and Orville Wilson. Just like in Fitzroy township, education in Torbolton township went as far back as the 1840s. Catholic students did not have a separate Catholic school but attended one of the established Torbolton schools. The two Catholic school boards created in 1961 existed until they became part of the new county-wide Carleton Roman Catholic School Board in 1969. Rev. Monsignor Francis French of St. Michael Catholic Church in Fitzroy Harbour played a significant role in generating interest in the establishment of a Catholic school in the community. Rev. Orloffe Dorion, who succeeded Monsignor French, carried on the work to establish the school. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lawrence donated the land for the new two-room, grade-one-tograde-eight school, which opened in 1961. Gerry Leveque was the first principal with his wife Anne as the teacher. There were 49 students in the school’s inaugural year. By 1965, enrolment at this Catholic school, called St. Michael, had grown to almost 70 students. In 1969, major changes happened to the school as a small gymnasium, a kindergarten room, two more classrooms, an office, and a

staff room were added to the original tworoom building. A decade later, a full-sized gymnasium was added along with four more classrooms and a library. In 1999, the school’s playground was rebuilt with primary and junior play structures added. In the year 2000, a millennium garden was established. Enrolment at the school had grown to over 200 students by 2005, with the school being under the jurisdiction of the new Ottawa Catholic School Board, created by the amalgamation of the Ottawa Separate School Board and the Carleton Roman Catholic School Board. Because of its geographic location in the far northwestern area of the board’s jurisdiction, St. Michael Catholic School at Fitzroy Harbour is the only school in the board's jurisdiction to offer a junior-kindergartento-grade-eight program. All other elementary schools in the board’s jurisdiction offer programs only up to grade six, with students then going on to attend grade-seven-tograde-12 high schools. St. Michael Catholic School now has a new junior kindergarten room as a result of the introduction of full-day kindergarten in schools.

Hamnett Pinhey plaque unveiled in Aug. 1967 SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Fifty years ago this month, a historical plaque to commemorate March township pioneer Hamnet Pinhey was unveiled at Horaceville, Pinhey’s estate that's now the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. An article in the Thursday, Aug. 10, 1967, issue of the Stittsville News about this plaque read as follows: “On Sunday, August 20th, 1967, an historical plaque commemorating the Hon. Hamnet Pinhey will be unveiled at Horaceville, Pinhey’s estate near South March. This plaque is one of a series being erected throughout the province by the Department of Public Records and Archives, acting on the advice of the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. Sunday’s ceremony will form part of a memorial service to commence at 3 p.m. by the ruins of old St. Mary’s Church on the grounds of the estate. The unveiling is being arranged and sponsored by the Carleton-West Russell Historical Society whose secretary, Mr. H.P. Leslie, will act as program chairman. Others who have been invited to take part are Ven. W.D. Christie, Archdeacon of Ottawa Diocese; Mr. H.J. Craig, Reeve of March Township; Mr. W. Erskine Johnston, MPP Carleton; Rev. E.C. Attwell, rector of St. Mary’s Anglican

Church in March township; and Prof. W.S. Goulding, representing the Historic Sites Board of Ontario. The plaque will be unveiled by Miss Ruth H. Pinhey, a great grandniece of Hamnet Pinhey and present owner of the property. The Hon. Hamnet Kirkes Pinhey was born in Plymouth, England, in 1784. While still quite a young man, he became a partner in a firm of exporters and a member of the Guild of Merchant Grocers. Hamnet Pinhey (as he always signed himself) and his partners owned some vessels which, during Napoleon’s attempt to close the Continent to British trade in 1806-1810, were used as blockade runners. Pinhey sometimes went on one of these trips and acted as “King’s Messenger” carrying dispatches to such British representatives as remained in Europe and probably communications to secret service agents. These services, which involved no small risk, were acknowledged by the government at the end of the war with France and when Hamnet Pinhey came to Canada in 1820, he was allowed a free “military” grant of 1,000 acres. He located 800 acres in March township, which he was later able to increase to 1,000 acres. A “census” of the township made in May, 1821, lists him among the inhab-

itants without any family or house- his first log house and the clearing of Hamnet Pinhey is stated to have hold. He was probably engaged at that land in preparation for bringing his brought his family to what soon was time in superintending the building of family to the site. called “Pinhey’s Point” before the end of 1821. The census made in April 1822 gives his household as one adult male, one adult female and three children under 12, a boy and two girls. The assessment roll gives “Mr. Pinhey” 850 acres uncultivated, 50 acres of “arable” land, no taxable house, one horse, a yoke of oxen and one milk cow – about the minimum stock for all but the poorest settlers. This was a good beginning, but the next seven years were to see great changes at “Horaceville,” as Pinhey named his estate after his son Horace. Hamnet Pinhey was able and energetic and possessed of considerable means and a large measure of courage and perseverance. The assessment roll quoted seems to be the last available for March township in this period so that the process of improvement cannot be followed in detail. However, log farm buildings were built, a larger and more comfortable dressed-lumber house put up facing Lake Deschenes at the top of the John Curry/Metroland slope down to the shore, a stone kitchThis is the provincial historical plaque unveiled in 1967, 50 years en built behind it and a garden laid ago, commemorating Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey and his development of out in front.

See HAMNETT PINHEY, page 23

Hamnett Pinhey was first warden of Carleton County Continued from page 22

A stone church, placed beyond the mills and creek, was begun in the spring of 1825 and completed by Christmas 1828, sufficiently to be used, though the stove was installed in January, 1829, and Thomas Acres was busy with the pews in 1830 and the windows in 1831. Acres was a versatile carpenter-joiner who could mend a cart or a mill wheel, make bedsteads and fit up a pantry or a parlour with equal ease. Both mills seem to have been running by 1828, though a good deal of work had to be done on the grist mill in the spring of 1829. It was probably about 1828 that the walls and roof of the stone addition to the second house were finished. In the diary and account book now in the Ontario Archives, which Hamnet Pinhey kept between January 1, 1829, and January 28, 1840, there is no mention of quarrying or stonemason’s work in 1829. A stone and timber pier was built that spring, without resource to skilled labour. In June and July, Acres was busy fitting up the new “small room,” hall and dining room. This was followed in the middle of July by the burning of lime in the kiln and then, while Acres carried out alterations in the old house, the new rooms were lathed and plastered. Finally, Acres completed the job by painting the house inside and out, ending in mid-September with the hall door. The work of improvement was carried on through the early 1830s. There seems to have been no major addition to the house until after 1836 and possibly not until after 1840. The important works in 1830 were a new hay barn on a stone foundation, a dam and a bridge but besides the work on the church, there was constant work on the mills. The gardens were fenced and then partly walled in stone. Always there was the work on the farm and on the roads – the “King’s Road” and the “Lake Road.” Among other items was a root cellar on the slope before the house with a flat top forming a platform on which were mounted a number of small can-

non. The diary records the making of carriages for these guns. All these items appear in an updated sketch of Horaceville, which was evidently made not earlier than 1832. During these years, Hamnet Pinhey had played a part in the life of the township and the surrounding area. He had been made a justice of the peace for the recently formed Bathurst District which gave him a share in local government as it was then constituted. Letters in the March Township papers in the Ontario Archives show that he acted to some extend as a land agent, placing settlers on government grants as well as finding tenants for his farms and taking an interest in their problems. In 1832 he was elected a member of the Legislative Assembly for Carleton County and took his seat at the second session on November 2, 1832. While in the Assembly, Pinhey was a fairy active member, sitting on several committees and usually but not invariably voting with the supporters of the government. Unfortunately a petition contesting his election was brought up on November 6, 1832, and the matter was brought to trial by the House on December 31. The issue turned on whether a number of voters for Pinhey were not properly qualified because they had no deeds for their land and were allowed by the polling clerk to vote

on the strength of location tickets or other imperfect evidences of the possession of a freehold. On January 16, 1833, the House voted that Hamnet Pinhey had been improperly elected and declared George Lyon to be member for Carleton. It does not seem to have been claimed that Hamnet Pinhey exerted any improper pressure to have these votes received. There is, however, some evidence that he was criticized by some of his neighbours and he was not again elected to the Assembly. After this time he seems to have remained at home, continuing to improve his property, making considerable additions to his house and playing a part in local affairs. When the Dalhousie District was formed in 1841, Hamnet Pinhey was elected to the District Council as representative of March township. In 1847 he was appointed to the Legislative Council of the United Province of Canada and held this office until his death in 1857. The Hon. Hamnet Pinhey was warden of the Dalhousie District in 1848-50 and when the County of Carleton was incorporated under the Municipal Act in 1849, he was elected reeve of March township. As last warden of the District, he presided at the first meeting of the new county council and was unanimously elected the first warden of Carleton County.”

Fighting Bill 148 Job creators are fighting this bad bill and so am I. Restaurants Canada surveyed Ontario restaurant owners and found that a full 81% will be cutting jobs as a result of Bill 148, which will raise the minimum wage from $11.40/hr to $15/hr. They also found that 98% will raise menu prices and 97% will reduce labour hours.

This is a sketch of “Horaceville,” the Pinhey property on the Ottawa River, done about 1837 by Mary Anne Pinhey. The sketch shows the historic St. Mary’s Anglican Church at the left along with the mills and outbuildings associated with the Pinhey farmstead.

Last week, Loblaws came out and said that all of the proposed higher minimum wages across Canada will cost them $190 million. That’s almost 1/3 of their net annual income. Ontario job creators are being as clear as they can on this issue, and the government refuses to listen to them. I have heard from business owners all over the province, and they are all going to be hit negatively by this. We have seen this in Seattle and other places that have hiked their minimum wage to this extent. I am fighting the Liberals on bill 148, I refuse to vote for something that will mean fewer jobs and make it harder for young students to break into the workforce.

5-Star Camps adds archery tag to arsenal of fun BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

There’s something fun to do all day, every day at 5-Star Camps in Carp. Already bursting at the seams with activities, 5-Star Camps co-owner Sean Hopper has added archery tag to the long list of things to do at his camp located on 55 acres of forested property on the grounds of Venta Preparatory School.The camp opened its doors in 2007, and is billed as Ottawa’s premiere summer day camp. There is something for all visitors to the camp, from ages five and up. Campers and corporate visitors can take part in archery, the largest low ropes course in eastern Ontario, rock climbing, arts and crafts, swimming, inflatables, and several sports. This year, the team has introduced archery tag. “We played it in Ottawa as a staff and we decided it was quite dynamic,” co-owner Anita Hopper said. “We looked at having it here for the staff but it was so good we had to share it with everyone.” Sean, who has been involved

with Venta School for “the last 41 years,” is the school’s current vice principal during the school year, and the camp director during the summer. “Every year we try to add more to the programs,” he said. “Keep what works and add more.” Sean says archery tag “fits in to our programming because we already offer three days of archery training” during the course of a typical camp week. “And now they can put their new skills to use in a very fun, safe way,” he added. “It’s like dodgeball with bows and arrows.” While archery tag is part of the campers’ programming, it is also available for booking by the general public for birthday parties or corporate events. “We believe people are trying to get back outdoors,” Sean said. “Not everyone likes to golf or white water raft. I can build a program with my certified staff that everyone can participate in.” In the meantime, his 5-Star campers are giving archery tag rave reviews. “A lot of our campers like it and they are now booking their

birthday parties here,” Sean said. 5-Star Camps can hold 140 campers a day while maintaining a 6:1 camper to staff ratio. “There’s way too much screen time and not enough play time,” Sean said of the current state of affairs for youth. “We believe kids should be outside, playing in a safe environment.” While archery tag is new to the camp, Sean says the programming available at the camp is enough to keep any age occupied all day long. “If you wanted to participate in every single activity we offer, it would take 16 hours,” Sean said. “We’re an outdoor camp. We’re like an overnight camp in a day camp setting.” Sean says, despite the soggy summer eastern Ontario has had this year, the team works hard to keep the kids outside. “There’s only been one day we’ve held lunch indoors,” he said. “We have a full indoor program but we don’t want to have to use it.” For more information on 5-Star Camps or 5-Star Corporate Challenges, you can visit their website at 5starcamps.ca.

5-Star Camps, located on the grounds of Venta Preparatory School, has added archery tag to all the fun activities the camp already hosts for youth and adults.

Public lecture, exhibits at Pinhey’s Point SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

How the West Carleton War Memorial was designed will be the topic at a public lecture coming up at the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. Malcolm Wildeboer, a partner with Vandenberg and Wildeboer Architects, will tell the story about the layers of thought and design that were behind the creation of the memorial. The lecture will be presented on Monday, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, located at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. off Sixth Line Road at Dunrobin. Admission to this lecture is free. There will be refreshments provided following the lecture. This is the second of two public lectures presented at the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site this summer. The first one was presented on Monday, July 17, when Dr. Melanie Morin-Pelletier — a historian on war and society for the Canadian War Museum — talked about the Vimy Ridge battle of the First World War, as well as how and why Canadians commemorate the battle. These lectures are but two of the summer 2017 events and activities planned by the Pinhey’s Point Foundation of the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. Three exhibits are also being held this summer. One is about the origins and significance of domestic Gothic architecture in Ottawa. This exhibit runs through to Oct. 8. This revolutionary residential Gothic architecture helped transform Ottawa from a rough lumber town into a city with the status of the capital of Canada. Another exhibit this summer, Pinhey’s Point Meets the Sixties, which is running from Aug. 1 to Oct. 8, tells the story of the purchase of the Pinhey property by the National Capi-

tal Commission in 1959. There were plans for a restoration for Canada’s Centennial in 1967, along with a planned steamboat to Aylmer. The exhibit explains what happened and what did not happen. Yet another exhibit on display until Oct. 8 tells about the efforts of a Pinhey woman to try to learn the fate of her brother, whose name is on the Vimy Memorial as one of the 11,285 Canadian soldiers missing in action in France. The exhibit also tells about another Pinhey family member who visited the Vimy Memorial as a student pilgrim in 1936. The Pinhey’s Point Historic Site has three travelling exhibits this year. One entitled Meet the Gentry and Whose Astrolabe? happened at Algonquin College in June, while another, Meet the Gentry, was at the Dunrobin Community Association’s Canada Day event on July 1.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The Farmwife tribe is worldwide and very interesting

uring this season of outdoor farmers markets, county fairs and trade shows, I meet a lot of people. Some of them are readers of the column who want to meet me in person because they have been reading my life for the past ten years in my Farmwife blog and columns. Others are accidental farmwives themselves and they stop by to compare notes and meet one of their tribe. Accidental farmwives, or women not born into the farming life, tend to be very interesting people. Some of us (myself included) come into the world of farming by marrying a farmer. Perhaps one of the best-known accidental farmwives is Ree Drummond, a.k.a. The Pioneer Woman. She lets readers into her life through her television show on the Food Network, her books, a blog, gorgeous photography and hilarious recipes that involve step-by-step commentary from the funniest farmwife I know. She has also home-schooled her children and she is a caregiver of wild mustangs on her Oklahoma ranch. Others, like Kate Humble in the U.K., feel compelled to rescue a plot of municipal land before it is sold off to a condo corporation. Next she began rescuing animals (including FOR SALE

FOR SALE

“the world’s ugliest pigs”) and learning more about the various agricultural uses of her property. Now she has a teaching farm, a boutique, a café and she produces pear cider that is sold at the neighbourhood pub. You can read more about her and order a copy of her book, at Humble by Nature. Another U.K. farmwife, Bobbi Mothersdale, has published a daily journal of a year in her farming life. It’s a great introduction to the trials, triumphs and seasonal routine on an East Yorkshire farm. Her book Hens, Hooves, Woollies and Wellies is available for purchase online. If you do a quick search on the internet you are bound to find some accidental farmwives in your area. Now, the “real” farmwives (who know what they are doing because they have been doing it since they were kids and are multi-generation farmers) have a wealth of information to share, but the accidental ones tend to share it in a more honest, blow-by-blow kind of way because every day, every week, every season brings a new experience. I highly recommend you check out some of their blogs, columns and books if you are considering becoming a farmwife yourself. Nurse loves Farmer is a blog set in the Ca-

nadian Prairies. Sarah Schultz is also an avid photographer and cook (skills many farmwives seem to have, excepting yours truly. I can cook, but it usually involves grilling lean meat or fish and tossing a salad. Done. My photos usually turn out blurry or with headless subjects). Schultz is a self-proclaimed “agvocate,” voicing her perspective on genetically modified foods, herbicides, and raising healthy kids on the farm. Farmer Elaine Froese uses her background in conflict resolution to assist Canadian farmwives in their growth as “farminists.” Canadian freelance writer and photographer Billi J. Miller has met a few female farmers who are opposed to being called “farmwives.” The term doesn’t bother me in the slightest, as in my mind it has always meant being married to the farm, as well as to the Farmer. I don’t split hairs over titles. FOR SALE

FOR SALE

I am inspired by the farmwives (real or accidental) who have managed to produce something unique and special from their property’s bounty. Sheepskin rugs, alpaca wool socks, sweaters and mittens, goat milk soaps and essential oils, fermented tea kombucha, raw honey and jam are just a few of the highly-prized items I have seen farmwives produce. I would like to think I would be inspired to create something from the land too, if I worked from home full time. We have plenty of mature nut trees on our property. Maybe I could make some sort of low-sugar, preservative-free nut butter to sell. If I were handy and crafty at all. Keep in mind I can barely manage a minimal vegetable garden. Then again there is that time the Farmer tried to identify the strange nut tree growing next to the barn by licking the sap coming from its casing. He couldn’t feel his tongue for the next twenty-four hours. I suspect it has medicinal properties, as many of the native plants do here on the farm. Maybe someday I will take the time to research them. For now I will continue to write stories of life on the farm, with our beef cattle, our chickens, cats, and one loyal pup named Fergus.

A number of events are marking the passing of summer. Nights are cooler and the days shorter. Bird song has all but ended and blackbirds are gathering in increasingly large flocks. And currently the fruit of raspberries and blueberries is ripening. The maturing of fruit is a welcome event for many animals. Eastern chipmunks will soon start stashing away larger items such as chokecherries for winter consumption. Cedar waxwings are currently nesting so that their young can soon exploit the rich bounty. And black bears are feasting on berries in order to put on fat that will not only help keep them warm in the months to come but will more importantly provide nutrition next spring when they arouse from their winter-long dormancy. Black bears are large carnivores that generally pose little risk to humans. Still, it is always best to treat them (as we should any animal) with respect and keep some distance from them. Thus, recently when I was in Algonquin Park photographing bears for an upcoming book, I used a long telephoto lens and kept close watch on their body language for any sign of distress or alarm. Now, it isn’t easy to sneak up on a bear, for these fascinating animals see well and have remarkable hearing and a well-developed sense of smell. Thus, only a handful of my recent encounters with almost 20 different bears ended up providing good photo opportunities. Once a bear became aware of my presence, it would usually quickly bound away with surprising speed. Sometimes curiosity would cause one to stand up on its hind legs

to gain a better view of the intruder before vanishing into the woods. But I was able to gain good views of a few bears in action and watch them for considerable amounts of time. It was fascinating to see such large animals dining on tiny berries. When feeding on blueberries, a bear would keep its head low to the ground and sometimes use a large paw to pull a berry-laden bush towards its mouth. The bears never seemed to bite off chunks of bushes and instead used their thick lips and tongues to pull berries from them. Whenever a bear raised its head to scan for danger, unlike a moose browsing on vegetation, leaves and twigs never dangled from its mouth. There is a reasonably good crop of blueberries this year in Algonquin, and black bears are certainly aware of it. However, bears were not alone in

enjoying the fruit. Dozens of American robins and blue jays also devoured the berries, and they will soon be joined by cedar waxwings. While it might seem that these animals are exploiting berry-producing plants, the real story is the complete opposite. When birds or bears devour Blueberries, they are interested only in the sugar-rich pulp that surrounds the seeds. The seeds pass unscathed through the animals’ digestive tract and leave their body with the droppings. When this happens, the plant has succeeded in sending off its seeds to a new location, which is the ultimate goal of any plant. Animals do more than unknowingly disperse seeds of berry-producing plants. They also supply them a nice bed of fertilizer! The Nature email is mruntz@start. ca

At this time of year black bears are busy devouring the fruit of blueberries and other plants.

the group. This Ottawa-based group is known for presenting a unique blend of traditional music with restructured lyrics and song structures. The group’s influences range from bluegrass to old time punk rock to alt-country. Formed in the mid-2000s, Huntley Slim and the Suburban Cowboys recorded an EP called “Sherway Sessions” in 2007 and then later released a full-length album entitled “Songs From This Chicken Coop.” And, indeed, the album was actually recorded in an old chicken coop in Carp where Chris Mellor’s father was building a boat. The album is filled with traditional bluegrass arrangements with country music themes like love gone wrong, whiskey, regrets and heartaches. It is old-time acoustic alternative country music at its best. John Curry/Metroland Huntley Slim will be perThe West Carleton Amateur Sports Club at the W.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you see the wisdom in someone else’s idea and you are willing to go along for the ride. Express your support and your utmost confidence in this person and his or her idea.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course.

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 been living with my boyfriend for 18 months and we have no plans to get married. At what point are we considered “common law” and how does that compare to married couples? Generally in Ontario you are considered “common law” if you have been living together for at least three years or have a child together and have been living together in a relationship of some permanence. A common law spouse has no right to the assets of the other party – the starting point in law is that each party retains the assets that are in their own name, and jointly titled assets are divided evenly. Compared to married couples who get an equal share in the total assets of the relationship, regardless of ownership. However, a party who is not the registered owner of an asset may claim an interest in the property through the legal concept of unjust enrichment. The claimant must demonstrate that although they are not a registered owner, they have contributed to the acquisition, maintenance or appreciation of the asset, entitling them to a share in the value. These cases are somewhat complex and depend heavily on the unique facts of each situation. Common law couples have the same right to spousal support as married couples so long as they can establish

entitlement. The amount of spousal support payable, if any, will depend on several factors, such as the income, assets, health and financial independence of each party. Again, the specific facts of each case are important. The last important distinction between married and common law spouses is that only married spouses have a right to a share in the estate of the spouse who dies intestate, meaning without a will. Common law spouses have absolutely no right to a share in the estate of their common law partner who dies without a will, regardless of the length of the relationship. You can enter into an agreement that specifically sets out what rights and obligations will result from your relationship. They are called cohabitation agreements and they can be entered into at any time, even if you are already living together. A family law lawyer can assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of your rights and obligations and assist in preparing an agreement that sets out how you wish to deal with matters upon a breakdown of the relationship. elationship.
