Boy drowns in Ottawa River

Young visitor from Toronto pulled into current at Constance Bay John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

Constance Bay’s idyllic beach has a dangerous side.

That was driven home Saturday when a 10-year-old boy from a family visiting from Toronto drowned in its waters.

The boy got into trouble while wading or swimming in the Ottawa River off the Point beach just before 4 p.m.

Despite efforts of his 21-year-old brother to assist him, he disappeared under the water.

Several 911 calls alerted police, who with the help of Ottawa firefighters and paramedics, searched for the missing boy.

It soon become apparent the rescue attempts had become a recovery effort. At 10:47 p.m., the Ottawa Police Service duty inspector tweeted that the Ottawa Police dive team had recovered the body of the missing boy.

“Sad and tragic incident,” concluded the message, which was retweeted by West Carleton-March city councillor Eli El-Chantiry.

Former staffers demand apology from MPP Jack MacLaren Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Two former staff members in CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren’s office say he was fully aware of false testimonials that were placed on his website.

The testimonials were removed following media reports that they were stock photos of people from around the world and not constituents here in the riding.

MacLaren apologized, but later was quoted as saying staff members – who have now moved on – made the decision.

He claimed former staffers were responsible for the photos, but has what he termed superior people in place working in his office now.

“We, his former employees, wish to set the record straight,” Jessica Lauren Annis and Debbie Wilson penned in a letter to the editor published in the July 25 Toronto Star.

“Both of the above statements are untrue, as MacLaren alone made the decision to use stock photographs; and, his former staff members are in no way inferior to his current staff members.”

Jackpot!

The Carp Fair held its last drive-in bingo of the year on Aug. 3. There were 500 cars in attendance and during the night there were a number of games played, including a quiz to find out who had been coming to the bingo the longest. Both Anne Beach and Jo Ann Crawford have played for more than 50 years (he bingo has been going for 57 years).

Ronnie Bidgood, co-president of the fair presents each woman a Carp Fair jacket. For more on the bingo and the ‘slow down’ signs given out that evening, see pages 13, 39.

Apology and public retraction was requested in a private letter Continued from front

The former staffers said a private letter was sent to MacLaren when he first made the claims, asking for a public retraction and apology. They received no response.

MacLaren did not respond to interview requests either. Spokesman Billy Morrison’s emailed response reads, in full: “MPP MacLaren’s position is that it is not appropriate to comment on matters concerning former staff. He values all those who have worked hard in his constituency office.”

The public rebuke by the former staffers raises the question of whether Jack MacLaren deceived Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown over who was to blame. Brown is keeping tight-lipped as well, not responding to an interview request.

That leaves Annis in a difficult position.

The former agriculture lobbyist turned political staffer isn’t working at the moment. The executive assistant position she held for two years in MacLaren's office was her first foray into the party side of politics.

The Torontonian holds firm to conservatism, and even stands by MacLaren through his numerous recent debacles. She wondered if political correctness (and “He’s a farmer”) played a role in the furor over his vulgar joke about an MP. And she felt it not a big deal that MacLaren was a Twitter follower to a racist who is a previous Conservative riding president and executive director (the MPP cut the Twitter ties after the story broke). However, she did denounce J.P. Dorion’s tweets.

Still, she liked the job, saying it was fun

and crazy and satisfying. It is also difficult to get back into the field with a tarnished reputation.

“I don’t have any ill will. I’d like to see Jack retract those statements and own up,” Annis said.

“Inferring someone is unethical or inept – it’s kind of a small political world.”

Wilson is less concerned about career prospects.

She lives in the rural part of the riding and has returned to her job as a caretaker. If anything, her reputation has benefited rather than taken a hit since leaving MacLaren’s office, she said.

Wilson is no longer a MacLaren defender either, noting a level of irony in his return from “sensitivity training” that Brown sent him on following the vulgar joke incident.

“He said he learned that words can hurt, then immediately blamed us for what happened,” said the former constituency assistant.

She noted nine employees have come and gone from MacLaren’s office, but cited a prehire non-disclosure agreement both women signed as reason for not going into details about morale and other office issues.

Both women called his claim that staff members made the decision to use false testimonials defamatory, yet do not plan to sue him. They fear a prolonged “he said-she said,” as Annis called it, will benefit neither side.

“We are really not allowed to say anything, but we couldn’t let the lies go through,” Wilson said.

Jack MacLaren MacLaren is running for the PC nomination in the reconfigured Kanata-Carleton riding. He faces at least two contenders.

Look inside for the

Poontoon boat runs into Quyon ferry Scott Campbell scott.campbell@metroland.com

The Quyon Ferry was delayed from its schedule on Saturday night (Aug. 6) as there was a collision, which involved a pontoon boat.

The call came in around 9:05 p.m.

Owner Don McColgon was not running the ferry at the time but said he could not remember such an incident happening before.

According to MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais police spokesman Martin Fournel, the ferry was leaving on the Quyon side and heading over to the Ontario dock at Fitzroy when the crash happened. The ferry was only 100 feet out when the pontoon boat did not yield in the gloom and the two collided.

The ferry went back to port to assess the damage.

The word that McColgan received was the pontoon became jammed on the ferry’s drawbridge.

There was nobody injured, but a paramedic attended as a precaution, said Fournel.

The pontoon had many in-

dividuals on board and they were allegedly intoxicated, which offered a possible explanation as to why the ferry was never spotted.

McColgan said the ferry has navigational lights in use for the night-time crossings.

He was given to understand that the pontoon was not lit and that was the reason it was spotted too late by the ferry driver.

“The alleged pontoon driver took a breathalyzer,” said Fournel, noting there were no witnesses to back up the claim of who was at the wheel. “He had alcohol in his system but not enough to be arrested.”

Fournel noted that the pontoon was registered to someone in Gatineau, but the owner was not present at the time of the collision.

The pontoon boat was actually lucky to be on the Quebec side as drivers can drink and it is the same alcohol limit designated to a motorist.

The alleged driver also didn’t a competency card to run a boat, so he will need to take the test, said Fournel

and since the pontoon did not yield that will be another ticket issued later on.

McColgan said those on the pontoon took the blame for what happened. While he has received negative comments about the cable that guides the ferry, the best time to pass it is when the ferry is at rest.

“But hardly anyone waits,” he said.

The Quyon Ferry website even offers tips for safety: • It is illegal to do water sports over the cable.

• Do not fish near the cable ferry.

• Always pass when the ferry is at rest.

• Never pass in front of a

cable ferry.

• If you have to pass when the ferry is in motion pass 800 feet behind it. The safest time to pass is when the ferry is at rest.

• Do not boat near the ferry terminals as the cable is close to the surface.

Fast spreading Stonecrest Road grass fire prompts warning from fire services Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

A small but quickly spreading grass fire on Stonecrest Road Aug. 5 and the continuing hot weather has prompted the Ottawa Fire Services to remind residents to exercise "extreme caution" in light of the high fire hazard.

"The cooperation of residents is essential in ensuring that homes, buildings and lives are not impacted by fire," said the fire department in a release reporting the fire. "The dangers are real and we want to prevent losses and/or deaths."

Ottawa Fire Services gave credit to a caller for alerting firefighters to the grass fire by making a 911 call about 1:47 p.m.

The caller stayed on scene to guide a fire crew to the grass/bush fire in the ditch at 3267 Stonecrest Rd. in the Dunrobin area.

"The rapid intervention from the caller and Ottawa Fire Services prevented extensive damage and possible fire spread to neighbouring structures," reads a report on the fire by the fire services public information officer Danielle Cardinal.

While the burn area was reported as being the size of a small car, it was spreading rapidly, covering an area of about 100 feet by the time they arrived, report firefighters. Fortunately, there were no homes or other structures in proximity to the blaze.

Firefighters used water and specialized

tools to prevent it spreading and then extinguish the fire. The fire was under control by 2:05 p.m. and put out by 2:09 p.m.

A hydro pole appeared to have sparked the blaze and hydro crews were called to remedy the problem.

Ottawa Fire Services thanked the caller for advising them of the fire and remaining on scene in a safe location.

It also stressed that the open air fire ban is still in effect, as there is a high risk of fire spread.

"If you see an unattended fire please call 911," urges the fire services. "If you want to place a burn complaint for those not observing the open air fire ban, you can do so on the Ottawa Fire Services non-emergency number 613-232-1551."

Candlelight vigil Sunday A group of Constance Bay families will hold a candlelight vigil this Sunday, Aug. 14 from 8 to 9 p.m. for the young boy who perished at the Point sandbar Aug. 6.

“Our hearts are aching for this young boy and his family,” say organizers in their invitation for the public to attend. They recommend people park at the city access across from Point Dining Lounge.

Candles will be provided. Flowers for release are welcome.

An Ottawa firefighter watches from the beach at Constance Bay as police boats search for a missing 10-year-old boy

Drowning leads to calls for warning signs Continued from front

The next morning El-Chantiry tweeted: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the 10-yearold drowned. Thanks all emergency services.”

It’s a “sad day for all,” tweeted Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. The Ottawa Police sent out their “prayers and thoughts to the family.”

The death prompted calls for signs warning swimmers of the sudden drop-off and strong currents in the river off the beach. While locals know about the dangers, visitors often don’t.

While there hasn’t been a drowning in the area for several years, there were at least three deaths a couple of decades ago. However, warning signs posted then are no longer at the beach.

Ironically, earlier in the day, the

Ottawa Police had tweeted out a warning: “Waterways can be unpredictable. Don’t underestimate the protection of a life jacket or PFD (personal flotation device).”

Police, fire and paramedics set up a search centre on the beach off Lane Street. For a time an ORNGE helicopter was on scene in case the boy had been found and needed to be flown to hospital.

Reports indicate several residents of the area helped authorities and comforted the members of the boy’s family who were on the beach. However, police asked that boats avoid the Point beach area while the search was ongoing.

The boy’s older brother was rescued from the water and taken to hospital as a precaution.

An autopsy is being held to confirm the cause of death. The name of the victim has not yet been released.

“Gifted” but “uncontrollable” child?

Don’t drug them…heal them!

The world needs them!

More and more, parents find their way into my clinic in a desperate attempt to make their life and their childs life easier. They usually have tried it all from counselling to medication and are at a point where it is no longer an option to just sit and wait for a miracle to happen.Their day to day challenges center around managing their child.The school calls to complain about their misbehaviour. Teachers often don’t know what to do, just as parents are at their width end with their patience. Arguments happen way too often and resentment, hatred and overwhelm become a way of life. Yet deep inside every mom and dad know their child is special…. soooo special! Just how can we turn things around?

Let me tell you a little story: A few month ago both parents brought their young teenager into my clinic. I work with all of them together but also provide confidential individual time if necessary, as the goal is to respect everyone.

Even though the child is going to be treated, mom and dad need to understand the ground work and rules and will be enlightened by my suggestions as it relates to their parenting style. This teenage boy was suffering from anxiety, ADD and ADHD. He is a bright and engaged young teenager, who loves to take control of his life. After the initial assessment I provided some energetic homeopathic remedies.

I showed the boy how to take the remedies and he took the first dose right in my office. At the end, I briefly spoke with mom in private, while dad and his son waited in the car.

Next month at the follow-up visit, mom was beaming from ear to ear and dad said: I can’t believe this, but he was another child from the first time he took a drop of your remedies! He immediately calmed down and was patiently waiting in the car for mom to come out, without getting impatient or angry as he usually would.” Mom continued saying:“I even can take him shopping now, without being afraid that I’ll have to run out of the store in embarrassment of him having a panic attack or a tantrum! His conflict resolution is so much easier and we are actually coming to a conclusion.” Then I turned to the boy and he smiled: “I don’t even have my nightmares anymore!”

Healing at it’s purest.No drugs,no side effects! Results can be this immediate! Heilkunst - the different kind of counselling - where everybody counts and not just the one treated. Embrace your family.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March 17th Annual Garlic Festival The Carp Farmers’ Market is hosting the 17th Annual Garlic Festival on Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14. The Carp Fairgrounds will be home to what has grown to be the largest garlic festival in Canada!

Running from 8am-3pm on Saturday and 10am-3pm on Sunday, there will be over 120 booths showcasing 35 dedicated garlic vendors selling fresh garlic, garlic spreads, dips, braids and baskets. Over 60 varieties of garlic will be featured for buyers to taste and try, along with information sessions on choosing, growing and harvesting the bulb as well as cooking demonstrations.

Enjoy the variety of the festival’s huge international food court, its ample parking, wheel chair accessibility and free admission.

Wild Parsnip update Wild Parsnip is an invasive plant that is common within the City of Ottawa in areas of uncultivated land, roadside ditches, nature trails, as well as on and surrounding rural and residential properties. The plant sap contains chemicals that may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to burning and blistering when exposed to the sun.

The City of Ottawa has a comprehensive strategy to control the spread of Wild Parsnip. The strategy includes both herbicide application as well as accelerated mowing cycles. The city is also mapping infestation levels to show the spread of the plant, and conducting an education and public health awareness campaign.

To date, over 800 kms of roadsides as well as over 50 parkland areas have been treated with the herbicide application (Clearview). Accelerated early season mowing cycles have been utilized in areas with medium to light infestation levels, whereas herbicide application has been focused on heavily infested roadsides and in parkland adjacent to active recreational play.

The Public Works Department will continue to work with internal and external stakeholders to explore ways to reduce the spread of Wild Parsnip in the City of Ottawa and put in place strategies to educate the public on the health risks of Wild Parsnip.

More detailed information on Wild Parsnip can be found on ottawa.ca, including photos of what the plant looks like and tips on how to avoid coming in contact with it.

Diefenbunker enters the world of geocache Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

August is archeology month, so why not get involve in a treasure hunt?

A treasure hunt is how the Internet describes geocaching. It is meant to be an outdoor excursion with the use of GPS-enabled devices.

The Diefenbunker has become involved in the fad, which is quite popular around the world, said curatorial manager Megan Lafrenière.

Those interested can be part of the hunt by checking the geocache website (geocaching.com), which gives them coordinates and hints to a hidden cache.

When someone finds the cache, they sign in a logbook and the date they found it.

They are welcome to take a prize from the cache, said Lafrenière, but the person must replace what is tak-

en with something else.

Every Thursday throughout the month, the Diefenbunker is also having guided outdoor tours around the grounds. The tours are not the traditional ones the museum offers. They take place at 10 a.m. on Aug. 11, 18 and 25. There are limit of 12 participants per tour and reservations are required.

The Diefenbunker is having their beer tasting this Saturday, Aug. 13. Tickets are available from the Eventbrite website.

There will be a selection of brews from Big Rig, Covered Bridge, Kichesippi Beet, Stalwart Brewing Company, Tooth and Nail Brewing, and Calabogie Brewery. There are also food samplings from the Swan at Carp.

In September there will there be a launch of the ‘The Age of Atomic SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND Anxiety’, an exhibition by the Dief- Those interested can be part of the hunt by checking enbunker’s Museum’s Artist-in- the geocache website, which gives them coordinates Residence Anna Frlan.

Cameron Smedley battles the clock at the Rio Olympics Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

Dunrobin’s Cameron Smedley proved he is an Olympian, but anything can happen at the Olympic Games.

Unfortunately for Smedley, the big show in Rio de Janiero turned out to be a challenge. So close, but so far.

Smedley had earned a bronze medal last November in a test event in Rio, so the stage was set at the Whitewater Stadium on Sunday, Aug.7 for the heats in the men’s canoe single (C1) slalom. The event was delayed for an hour because of high winds.

Smedley was in a field that included 18 other paddlers from such powerhouses in the sport as Germany, France, Brazil, Australia and the United States.

There were two runs with the best time taken into account. The top 14 athletes advanced on to the semi-finals and five didn’t qualify. Smedley wrapped with a time of 104.83 seconds and a 15th-place finish, which ended his Olympic run.

He missed out on the semi-final by a margin of 2.05 seconds. Vitezslav Gebas of the Czech Republic squeaked into the final spot at 102.78 seconds.

Strictly on the first run, Smedley would have advanced as he landed in 12th place with 104.93 seconds.

However, the completition on his second run proved tougher.

Canoe slalom is an obstacle course with paddlers going through numbered gates either downstream and upstream. They must do all this in the shortest time possible without touching the gates, but if there is a touch, a penalty is added to their final time.

Smedley received a couple of penalties and got caught in one of the rapids during his second run. The combination was costly for him.

Take time to get hospital right

T

he National Capital Commission is taking its time to decide where an expansion of the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus should be located.

It’s a decision worth waiting for. Better a good decision than a quick one we live to regret.

The first attempt was ham-fisted, and would have cut away land from the Central Experimental Farm. The public had no real say in the matter, and former MP John Baird – the local liaison with the NCC – seemed content to ignore those voices.

The location was convenient but the farm is cherished by many people – some who live nearby and some from far away.

This was not a case of NIMBY-ism.

Farm supporters know the thin end a wedge when they see one. If part of the farm could be sliced away for the hospital expansion, another “good cause” could come along anytime, and the farm could eventually be sacrificed, field by field.

The NCC is now re-investigating preferred sites for the Civic expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. A recommen-

dation is expected in November.

While it would be nice to have a quick decision, getting it right is crucial. What is eventually constructed will stand for decades; a poor, rushed decision about its location must be avoided.

Proximity to the existing Civic campus would be nice but should not limit the decision makers.

The Civic is but one campus managed by the Ottawa Hospital. If a new campus is created – distant from the Civic – there will be no need to add layers of management. The new building(s) and all the existing campuses will be operated by the same management team.

A new site brings new opportunities. Existing departments at the other campuses that desperately need more space could be moved to the new property, and that in turn could free up space in existing buildings. Demand never goes down, only up.

There are growing, global medical challenges the Ottawa Hospital could address through expansion – potentially benefiting people around the world. And people here in Ottawa.

But only if we get it right.

Piano at city hall a symbol of openness and inclusion

I

t’s funny: just as I was thinking about writing something nice about the piano in the Ottawa City Hall lobby somebody wrote about it in an Ottawa daily newspaper, suggesting that not everyone there likes it all that much.

Actually, you can understand that. Wandering through the city hall ground floor at odd times during the jazz festival, I noticed that the piano was always being played, sometimes really well, sometimes less so, and wondered how the people working near it would feel about. Sometimes, no matter how well an instrument is being played, you wouldn’t mind silence for a while.

But that’s the merest of quibbles. In the larger sense, it’s hard not to admire the decision to put a piano out in the lobby of an ottawa COMMUNITY

piano.

Typically, people hear it when they are wandering through city hall, as people do. They use the lobby as a short-cut between Lisgar Street and Laurier Avenue.

Or they hear the piano when they emerge from the parking lot underneath, a favourite of those who attend the jazz festival or, in colder times, skate on the Rink of Dreams, another unregulated pleasure that city hall affords, or use the city hall washrooms.

If you were a little kid you could sit down at the piano and practise your recital piece, or maybe try to pick out some tune your heard on the radio.

Many people have fond recollections of the previous city hall on Sussex Drive, out by what is now Global Affairs. It was a striking building. But the current city hall, which was once regional headquarters is more centrally located and, as a result, better used. Its ease of access is not just for festival-goers, gallery attenders and those who park underneath but for those who want to drop in on city council meetings. That is important for local democracy.

It seems a no-brainer that the home of local government should be a place where citizens feel at home but most of us know how rare in fact this is.

Almonte deserves better leadership than it’s getting To the Editor: Re. Almonte’s Mayor McLaughlin.

I am writing this letter in response to the West Carleton Review’s July 14 article regarding Mississippi Mills’ request for an apology from Jack MacLaren (MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills).

Understandably, the vote was defeated by the council members. This recent action clearly demonstrates how very low Almonte’s Mayor Shaun McLaughlin can go, seeking sympathy to divert away from his own issues, which are currently plaguing his municipality. I believe that I have read headlines in many newspapers denoting that Almonte’s new mayor was reluctant to inform certain residents (particular area) of the possibility that their drinking water could be contaminated. He did inform them, but not in a timely manner. The end result was that in fact their drinking water was indeed contaminated.

Not only that, but lately he has been rallying the troops to stop ‘for the betterment of the town’, a controversial water dam project right in the town of Almonte. If Mayor McLaughlin was incapable of handling these types of situations, I can think of several residents of Mississippi Mills that could do a worthier job. Two notable gentlemen come to mind. Both John Levi and Brian Gallagher have guided the town through some challenging times and dealt with some difficult issues

concerning their municipality over several years. Hindsight reveals these two dedicated men are some of the very best that the town of Almonte has experienced and still has to offer. Mississippi Mills has tremendous leadership in their midst. So don’t throw stones while you are living in a glass house, Mayor McLaughlin, would be my thinking.

This newspaper article also reports a recent incident where it seems that Mayor McLaughlin had been swearing (not a nice word he used) at residents in attendance at a council meeting. But I didn’t hear any women getting upset over your ‘fist’ gestures or foul language offered up in the meeting or is it the type of behavior acceptable for their elected mayor to participate in? I’ll bet not one councillor read Jack MacLaren’s joke before the actual vote took place. My guess is that their source of information was the newspaper articles, without actually being in the midst.

Surely, there must be more relevant items for inclusion on the council’s meeting agenda, rather than a request for an apology from our local MPP, which should be considered by many as a pronounced waste of time.

Some of you may agree with me, that it seems of late there exists a faction of people that seek out situations that appear to be ‘offensive’. Today’s world isn’t perfect. Should we and our elected officials not be paying attention to the genuine problems and resolve ways to deal with them effectively?

Almonte is a beautiful town, full of charm. With credit to the local residents, it can be considered a true gem in Eastern Ontario. This historical town, like so many, warrants competent leadership to guide it for the years ahead.

After paying attention to local issues for over 50 years, I do have a right to my opinion.

Talkin’ turkey down on the farm Diana Fisher The Accidental Farmwife

I was heading out to the compost pile early one morning when I felt I was being followed. The cows were already out in the field, so it wasn’t one of them.

I turned around and no one was behind me – but when I looked down, I saw four turkeys standing at my feet. They had followed me across the barnyard to the compost heap and were curiously examining what I was depositing.

“Hey! How did you guys get out?!” They looked up at me and warbled in a perfect chorus.

I have no idea how they do that. It’s like they communicate telepathically within seconds and decide they are all going to speak at once. They do it all the time and it freaks me right out.

The Farmer thought the turkeys might like their free range area expanded a bit, so he cordoned off a sheltered area in the stable with snow fencing. Then he slid both the back wall and the front wall of the stable open so the breeze can pass through.

It’s quite comfy in there, and about 10 degrees cooler than outside.

We put the turkeys back in their pen for safekeeping at night – we don’t want anyone escaping to wander the yard where they might get picked off by a predator. And it has become apparent that they are quite capable of escaping their snow fencing.

I walked back to the stable, the turkeys in tow. They shuffled along behind me, stopping occasionally to nibble grit and weeds on the ground.

Examining the snow fence, I could not clearly see their exit route. There were no gaps in the fence and the bottom had been

pinned down to the dirt floor.

They must have jumped up and flown over the top.

And the Farmer said turkeys with their pin feathers removed cannot fly.

Then I noticed a problem. Their feeders were empty.

I dragged a 40-k bag of feed off the pile and hauled it into the fenced area. The turkeys followed me in, gullibly. They commented in unison about the new development. They were getting fed.

I wonder if they took any credit for collecting me from the barnyard and willing me to do their bidding.

Turkeys don’t eat much, but we have a few more birds this year, so they are going through the feed pretty quickly. Not as quickly as the cows though – I think our dozen head and their babes are halfway through their winter hay already due to the lack of rain and no grass growing on the meadow.

The turkeys have it easy. They seem quite content, and I would like to think they have made it past the age of being targets for raccoons and skunks. I could be wrong there, but fingers are crossed.

I surveyed their domain. The double horse stall had been turned into a turkey pen, and they are quite cosy in there.

Turkey poop lines every flat surface – again, a sign that they are able to fly at least a few feet in the air, up to roost.

I knocked some of the dung off, shoveled it up, and spread some fresh, dry hay across the spongy floor. Immediately several turkeys appeared on either side of me.

They climbed up onto the piles of hay even before I could release it from my fork. I gently pushed them aside with my foot so I could spread the hay out.

“Oh, you like that, huh?” The birds nestled down into the dry hay, preening, cooing and clucking. The brushing action of the hay must feel good under their sweaty feathers in this heat. It dries them off and fluffs them up.

By the time I finished dressing their pen, the birds were all shiny and white again. And the four who had escaped to go and find me looked quite pleased with themselves, snuggled together on a fresh pile of hay in the corner. As I turned to walk away I said “goodbye – have a nice day, birdies …” and they all responded by warbling the same three notes together, simultaneously.

I wish they would stop that. Freaks me right out.

Child Benefit helps middle class families To the Editor: Today, too many middle class families struggle to get ahead.

It is harder and harder for families to save money for the high cost of raising their children as the cost of living keeps rising.

During our first year in government we announced the implementation of the Canada Child Benefit: a simpler, tax-free, more generous and better targeted federal tax benefit for those who need it most.

This will help Canadian families to save, invest and grow our economy.

We are delivering on our promise to replace the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) and the Canada Child Tax Benefits (CCTB) with the Canada Child Benefit (CCB).

As part of our government’s first budget tabled on March 2016, families are now receiving this benefit. Eligible Canadian families who have a child under 18 will receive their first Canada Child Benefit cheque, and this single monthly benefit will be recalculated every July based on information from families’ income tax and benefit return from

the previous year.

It is tax-free and Canadian families will not have to pay back the amounts received when they file their tax returns each year.

Parenting is one of the most important jobs; the CCB will give 9 out of 10 Canadian families more money in their pockets to help with the high costs of raising their kids.

It will provide a maximum annual benefit of up to $6,400 per child under the age of 6 and up to $5,400 per child aged 6 through 17.

We are proud that we are now giving back to Canadian families, while we continue to build an economy that works for the middle class. I encourage everyone to visit http://bit. ly/2aL2gJo to calculate the amount of Child Care Benefit middle and working class families will receive.

As always I am happy to hear any feedback you may have and I encourage you to let me know what your priorities are by visiting my website http://bit.ly/2aQ5qwc.

It might well, for sandpipers and plovers – the two main groups of shorebirds – migrate along coastal beaches in spring as they head north to Arctic tundra nesting sites and in fall as they head for South American beaches where they spend winter. Some species overwinter in Florida and Texas where human snowbirds encounter them during their winter hiatus.

But shorebirds also regularly stop by our area durPHOTOS BY MICHAEL RUNTZ A well-named bird, the Spotted Sandpiper has a most unusual family ing migration, with flooded fields, beach shorelines life, with females taking multiple mates and abandoning them to care (such as at Westmeath), and sewage ponds (such as the Almonte Sewage Ponds) being good places for seeing for her eggs.

them. And there are several species that nest locally, including one with a very different family life.

The best-known local ‘shorebird’ is undoubtedly the Killdeer. This common plover thrives in agricultural settings, and is unquestionably more common today than it was before colonization transformed forest to field. Their loud, plaintive ‘kill-deer, kill-deer’ calls and convincing broken-wing acts, put on when someone nears their nest on the ground, make Killdeers very recognizable.

Killdeers are plovers - bigheaded, large-eyed shorebirds that visually search for invertebrate prey on the surface of the ground.

Killdeer pairs remain together until their young become independent, with the males taking part in the incubation duties. While most other plovers nest in the Arctic, the Piping Plover, an endangered species, is currently making a comeback in southern Ontario. In addition to pairs nesting on beaches bordering Lake Huron, this year Piping Plovers also nested at Darlington and Presqu’ile Provincial Parks.

Three Piping Plover chicks hatched at Presqu’ile, the first time in exactly one hundred years since the species last nested there.

Due to a lack of extensive sand beaches, Piping Plovers will likely never nest in our region. However, in addition to Killdeer, there are several species of sandpipers that do nest locally. These include the long-billed Wilson’s Snipe and American Woodcock, and the uncommon Upland Sandpiper, a long-legged, small-headed sandpiper that occasionally perches on telephone wires or fence posts bordering grassy fields in which it nests.

While you may not have seen any of those species, there is one common shorebird that you likely encountered along the shore of a lake or river. That is the habitat of Spotted Sandpipers, small shorebirds with a heavily spotted breast and a characteristic bum-wagging walk. Unlike Killdeers, Spotted Sandpiper pairs don’t share parental responsibilities. In fact, these sandpipers are one of only a few species in the world that exhibit polyandry, a mating system in which females mate with multiple males and saddle them with most of the incubation and chick-rearing responsibilities. A female Spotted Sandpiper courts a male, mates with him, lays eggs and then deserts him to court another male while the abandoned male incubates her eggs.

By the time you read this article, I’ll be seeing lots of sandpipers and plovers, but not locally. I’ll be in James Bay conducting shorebird surveys for the Canadian Wildlife Service. My next column will be about my experiences up north. So stay tuned because more shorebird stories are on the wing!

Tee it up for Autism to support family with local connections A golf tournament is being held Saturday, Aug. 20 at the Madawaska Golf Course to spread awareness about autism and assist a family with Arnprior roots.

Tee it Up for Autism is in support of the Chislett family that includes two boys who have both been diagnosed with autism.

Tee it Up for Autism golf committee member Carly Chicquen said the goal of the effort is “to bring much needed awareness and increased understanding for those individuals and families living with autism, while showing our love and support for the Chislett family.”

She said Leanne Chislett grew up a Valley girl in Arnprior with her family (the Porters).

Leanne and husband Nick know the “joys and challenges” of raising a child with autism, said Chicquen.

She said their son Portland was diagnosed with autism in 2012, but since exceeded expectations because of his parents’ “wholehearted dedication to his therapies and their tireless love for their son.”

Last fall when their youngest son Beckett was diagnosed with autism, the Chisletts

were all too familiar with the challenging road that lay ahead, she added.

Upon hearing of Beckett’s diagnosis, the idea for Tee it Up for Autism was born.

Organizers say the fundraiser “is our small way of supporting our dear friends and helping their two young boys.”

As early intervention therapies for children with autism are critical for their development, the funds raised will go towards the Chislett boys’ additional therapy and medical bills. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Portland’s school, the Allegro Autism School in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey.

“Raising children with autism is a long journey, but with unconditional love and a strong support system, that journey becomes the most special gift of all,” says the release promoting the tournament.

The golf tournament will have a 1 p.m. shotgun start and includes dinner and music afterwards.

To donate a prize for the tournament raffle, email teeitupforautism@gmail.com.

Regular season over, playoffs next for West Carleton fastball teams Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

The countdown is on for the playoffs for Greater Ottawa Fastball League teams.

Carp-based Ottawa Valley A’s finished their season in July, while West Carleton wrapped regular season play on Aug. 2.

The Ottawa Valley A’s last three games were losses. The league cellar-dwellers came close against the Quyon Flyers on July 26 but lost 4-3.

Adam Rueckwald had the

start with Todd Wilson also seeing action on the mound.

The Valley A’s played doubleheader in Carp on July 28 starting off against the Stittsville 56ers. Stittsville scored three runs late in the game to win 8-5, led by two home runs from Dan Jessiman. Rueckwald took the loss in relief of Todd Wilson.

The second match-up was against West Carleton Electric from Fitzroy. The Electric prevailed by a score of 12-6.

West Carleton ended its season with a loss as well. The team, which finished in fifth in the seven-team league, travelled to Micksburg to play the first-place Twins and lost 9-2.

The Electric pulled ahead 2-1 early, but Micksburg blew the game open in the fifth inning, scoring eight runs to

The Kars Aces and I4C Victory play in the other playoff series for the first round.

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

Question: I have been off work since May 2016 and have been trying to obtain short-term disability insurance since then. My doctor has provided me with three sick notes since then and at our last appointment she told me not to work. However, my application for short-term disability insurance has been denied. I’ve given the disability insurer the notes from my doctor and I’ve gone through the appeal process but have been denied again.

My employer is now asking when I will return and I’ve booked an appointment with my doctor to see what she thinks. What should I do?

It is not uncommon for disability insurers to deny an initial application for short-term disability benefits. Often the reason cited for the denial is a lack of medical evidence of a disability. If the only documentation you have provided to the insurer are sick notes from your doctor it is usually of assistance to obtain further medical records from your doctor including something documenting your diagnosis.

Often, after receiving such additional documentation an insurer will approve an application for disability benefits.

If you continue to be denied benefits, it is likely time to consult with legal counsel. Also short-term disability About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm.

Venta’s 5 Star Camps mark 10 years of summer fun Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Venta Preparatory School is tucked away on the outskirts of Carp but hosting a summer camp has proven to be quite popular.

Popular enough so that 5 Star Camps is celebrating a 10th anniversary this year.

“It’s all about the positive experiences,” said owner Sean Hopper on Aug. 5, or ‘Papa Bear’ as the counsellors and camp-goers call him. He also gets a helping hand with camp operations from his wife Anita.

Many of the youth are actually returnees and some are even signed up for the entire length of the camp.

The school grounds are quite incredible for being so close to urban Ottawa, said Elizabeth Barnes who is the manager of admissions for the school. It includes about 55 acres of land.

“We provide an overnight experience in a day setting,” said Sean. There is an outdoor adventure camp, music, dance, fine arts and outdoor leadership.

The new leadership pro-

SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

West Carleton-March Councillor Eli El-Chantry toured the grounds at 5 Star Camps on the grounds Venta Preparatory School. This group of camp-goers and counsellors are ready for the climbing wall and vertical playground. gram includes building fires, shelter and even knot-tying.

There are also opportunities for swimming, archery, and arts and crafts, a climbing wall ,and a vertical playground, and a low ropes course touted to be biggest in Eastern Ontario.

The 5 Star Camps focus on variety, excellence, nurturance, trust, adventure – which, of course, is an acro-

nym for Venta.

While this may be the charming salesman at work, Sean gives the impression of someone who is truly passionate about the 5 Star Camps. He also has the title of director of operations and dean of students at Venta.

“I would do this for eight weeks, but I would be single,” laughed Hopper. The

ARNPRIOR CHRYSLER 205 Madawaska Blvd., Arnprior

template has been six weeks over the summer and then takes two weeks off before school to refresh and relax with his wife and family.

“Kids need to be active; there is too much screen time,” he said, noting that once upon a time the long summer holidays from school were created because it allowed kids to work on farms, which the majority

don’t do anymore.

Screen time is minimized at 5 Star Camps. “The counsellors are not even allowed to have cellphones at work.

They actually like it.”

Sean’s reasoning behind the decision puts the emphasis on people conversing with directly with others. A person who is right there should be considered more important than the text

message or phone call that might come in. The phones can always be checked later, he says.

Sean and Anita are the only ones to carry cellphones just in case there is an emergency.

The camp employs 50 youth and they are all qualified to do that kind of work.

It is a Hopper family affair as their son and daughter work as counsellors.

They deal with youth from ages 5 to 12 with about 150 kids a day and nearly 1,000 over the course of the six weeks.

“The kids leave here tired,” said Sean.

West Carleton-March Councillor Eli El-Chantry also got a tour of the grounds on Aug. 5.

“I am quite impressed with the engagement of all of the kids,” he said. “There are no kids off to the side.

They are doing something and showing off (what they achieved).”

He noted items such as the climbing wall and the low ropes course can be the best kind of team-building.

Paint With Janet to focus on Carp Hall Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The Carp Exhibition Hall is an iconic symbol in West Carleton and an artistic beauty in its own right.

Now a local artist has captured the historic building with an impressionism flare.

She is now ready to help budding artists and those with no artistic experience create their own masterpiece of the hall.

Paint With Janet is coming to Carp on Thursday, Aug. 18 at the West Carleton Amateur Sports Club, 3832 Carp Rd. where Janet Beath will teach the class how to paint the big red hall.

The session starts at 6:45 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m.

She has also taught local classes how to paint the Pakenham Five-Span Bridge and has another night planned to create paintings of the Carleton Place skyline.

“I think it’s important

to create an identity, a connection to your local community,” said Beath.

“People can do this; I break it down so anybody can do it.”

Beath admits teaching how to create an original painting like this can be a challenge and compares it to making a teachers lesson plan. “A painting like this I could do quickly, but it takes me several hours to break it down.”

She feels the impressionistic style helps people when they are working on it. “The eye does the blending, so it removes the fear of trying to be perfect,” said Beath.

The night out costs $40 cash per person or $35 for return customers.

“It’s a fun night out and more than that it’s relaxing,” said Beath. “It’s an evening out not just to paint but spend time with friends.”

Beath has been a professional artist for 25 years and has instructed therapeutic arts with

Although this event is not a charity she feels it will help bring more awareness to the sports

West Ottawa Board of Trade welcomes new executive director Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The West Ottawa Board of Trade has a new executive director who is putting her focus on continuing to grow the business chamber.

Sueling Ching, who came on board last month, is working on strategic initiatives to build the strength and number of member businesses following the board of trade’s merger with the Nepean Chamber of Commerce in 2014.

“We’re still very much in that transitional stage,” said Ching, 48. “We were a strong chamber; our expectation was that we’d be doubly strong. We’re probably not, we’re probably less than that – bigger than we were, but less than we thought we’d be.”

West Ottawa had about 400 members, including several from West Carleton, and the Nepean chamber was reported to have about 250 when the two organizations voted to merge. A number of business members voiced concerns before the merge, worried that the large size of the organization meant people would fall through the cracks.

Currently, the merged board of trade has about 500 members.

“That’s business. When you make a big change like that, that’s going to happen,” said Ching. “I feel 100 per cent confident that over the next year we will start to rebuild and rebuild our membership strength and rebuild our ability to influence and serve.”

ABELLE PHOTOGRAPHIE

Sueling Ching joins the West Ottawa Board of Trade as its new executive director.

Ching, who lives in Brockville, is the former executive director of the Brockville Chamber of Commerce, CEO of the Brockville and area YMCA, and is a small business owner of a home-based health and wellness business.

“Sueling brings with her a passion for local business and has over 25 years experience in community development and the non-profit sector,” said Mark Nisbett, board chair of the board of trade.

“I am confident this appointment will ensure the West Ottawa Board of Trade continues to grow as the voice of business for the west Ottawa community.”

The board of trade serves the areas of Kanata, West Carleton, Stittsville, Nepean

and Barrhaven. The size of the business community under the board of trade’s jurisdiction provides a “huge opportunity,” said Ching.

The strategic plan, which will be launched in the fall following board approval, focuses on clarity of vision, greater collaboration among organizations to achieve goals, and enhanced communication. “We need to be better at communicating the value that we have to offer to the membership in the entire area,” she said. “We’re very focused on providing opportunities for our members to learn things that will impact their business in a significant and immediate way.”

For Ching, this includes staying on top of what’s new and what’s working and then composing that into easily digestible pieces.

“There’s a lot out there. When you’re running a business it’s difficult to stay on top of everything that’s available to you,” she said. “We’d like to be in a position to help our businesses really make sure that they’re spending their valuable time in a useful way.”

Having received a warm welcome and attended a few events, Ching said she’s confident as the plans move forward.

“What I have found in my very short time here is the exact same as I found at the Brockville Chamber of Commerce – an astounding amount of dedication among the members to contribute to collaborate with other businesses to learn and to grow for the sake of their own business but also the community as a whole,” she said.

“That gives me reason to be optimistic about the outcomes. I’m looking forward to getting to know some new people in the community.”

And she’s not worried about failure.

“There’s no such word as failure – there’s only success and learning,” she said. “Even within our organization I fully expect to flop on our face with things that we’re going to try but what we’re going to do is keep trying so that we can create the greatest value possible.

“I encourage current business owners and people who are thinking of becoming entrepreneurs to take that same attitude; be creative, be innovative, take advantage of the tools that are out there and be brave to move forward – but never let yourself be paralyzed by the idea that you’re going to fail because all it ever is is a learning (opportunity) and then you move on.”

Ching takes over the position from Rosemary Leu, who moved to B.C. earlier this year following a health scare involving a loved one. Leu worked at the board of trade for six years. She oversaw the board’s name change to the West Ottawa Board of Trade (from the Kanata Chamber of Commerce) and the amalgamation of the board of trade with the former Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce.

Leu was described as one of the pillars and greatest proponents of west Ottawa businesses.

There might be a little mud at the Arnprior Fair this weekend.

Well on the stage anyway, as lead singer for the popular country-rock band The Road Hammers says ‘Mud’ is one of his favourite songs to perform.

“The crowd really gets into that one; I really enjoy it that and it makes it fun,” said Jason McCoy. The band will also be playing some old favourites too.

“We do some of my solo songs, like Born Again in Dixieland. It amazes me people still know that one.”

The Road Hammers took home the award for Canadian Country Music Group or Duo of the Year in 2005 and that same year won the Juno for country recording of the year.

The band also won the 2006 CCMA Award for Group or Duo of the Year.

The Road Hammers will be hitting the Arnprior Fair’s main stage this Friday, Aug. 12 at 9 p.m.

McCoy says they have a really good job and enjoy meeting people after the show.

“We have a lot of friends in the Ottawa Valley. It’s a great life, we have homes all over the place,” said McCoy. He says he has been to Arnprior many times and calls the area a beautiful place.

“On one of my first bands some of my bandmates were from Arnprior,” said McCoy. “You have some great talent up that way with the Family Brown and Charlie Major; there must be something in the water.”

The group’s music could be called country-rock, but McCoy has another way to describe it.

“It’s the feeling of the first time you kiss a girl or the first time you shoot a gun; it’s exciting,” said McCoy. “We try to have fun and we pride ourselves in putting on a good show.”

Monica Schnob, the entertainment director for the fair, says they have put together a great line-up, one everyone will enjoy.

“The Road Hammers is a perfect pick for our ‘Country Fair’ and people are really looking forward to that show on our main stage,” Schnob said in an e-mail.

Rainwater Whiskey to perform at fair Continued from page 36

Tonight (Thursday) in the beer tent after the demolition derby, Rudy and Saddle Up will hit the stage. “Rudy and Saddle Up band has played in the Arnprior Fair grounds before and everyone has such a good time with this band and requested to have them back,� said Schnob.

Local band Rainwater Whiskey will hit the stage twice Friday night.

They will start on the main stage at 8 p.m. before the Road Hammers and will finish off the night in the beer tent after the main show is over. “Rainwater Whiskey is a local band that have played at Ranch Night for couple years now and we are proud to now have them at the Fair,� said Schnob.

CONSTANCE BAY GUITARIST

Rainwater Whiskey is comprised of Mark Bolton on guitar from Constance Bay, Thomas Watson from Renfrew is the lead singer and Kent Clingis from Richmond is on drums.

Celebrate river at Pinhey’s this Sunday The Ottawa River with its newly proclaimed heritage designation will be the focus of a Riverfest celebration at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in Dunrobin this Sunday, August 14.

Many different activities are planned from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., including Voyageur canoe rides, sailing demonstrations, a display of heritage boats, demonstrations of forgotten arts and trades, and live music.

On Friday, Aug. 19, Pinhey’s Point is presenting its annual Movie on the Lawn from 8 to 11 p.m.

Roast marshmallows over the open fire and enjoy the outdoor movie.

The group describes its sound as modern country that is closer to a rock band with some classic songs as well.

They have played at the Arnprior Stampede, the Ranch night and a number of local events in Arnprior. “We can’t wait to play,� said Bolton. “We have been hoping to play the fair since 2013.�

He says Arnprior is like their second home and they are very thankful for the support of the fair committee. “They have been really good to us,� said Bolton. “Getting to play the fair is a big hoopla for us.�

They say it is amazing to be opening for McCoy. “He has been a big influence to me,� said Clingis, who encourages everyone to come on down to the fair. “It will be a hell raising good time!�

On Saturday at 9 p.m., Switchgear takes to the stage.

Schnob says they seem like a fun down-toearth bunch of guys.

For it’s Arnprior Fair time with four days of attractions, entertainment, rides and excitement at the fairgrounds. And the forecast for the 162nd annual fair is for warm and sunny weather all week, with a slight cooldown for the weekend.

This year’s fair, which kicks off today (Thursday) and runs through Sunday, includes several old favourites (two demolition derbies, World’s Finest Shows midway, Dock dogs) and a renewed emphasis on horse events and exhibits.

The horse events include a return for three days of a major team penning competition hosted by the local organization along with a heavy horse show at 1 p.m.

Saturday and a miniature

horse show Sunday at 9 a.m. with both hitch and line classes. The fair board is hoping to add a light horse show to the equestrian offerings next year.

The Ontario Chariot and Chuckwagon Association is bringing in its horses and riders for mini-chuckwagon races both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. For the younger horse lovers, there will be the Ross and Debbie McCaig and Sons petting zoo and pony rides.

The fair board has put the disappointment of a midway’s sudden cancellation three years ago and is delighted to welcome back again last year’s favourite, World’s Finest Shows. With the Renfrew Fair dropping the company for Carter shows, World’s Finest Shows is bringing its full complement of rides to Arnprior on its way to the Capital Fair, which opens Aug. 19.

The Arnprior Fair opens today (Thursday) with a

ARNPRIOR & DISTRICT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTRE THE GROVE NURSING HOME COMMUNITY SERVICES

demolition derby at 7 p.m., followed by Rudy and Saddle Up. “This band has been here before, and everyone has such a good time with them we invited them back,” says the fair board.

On Friday, the fair is again hosting a morning at the fair for special needs folks and their families who can enjoy free rides and lunch from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The fair will be in full swing by Friday afternoon and that evening’s entertainment includes Rainwater Whiskey and The Road Hammers.

Saturday’s offerings include shows by the Sentimentalists Mysterion and Steffi Kay, a change to test your dog in the Dock Dogs pool at 2 p.m., the main demolition derby at 6 p.m. and Switchgear at 9 p.m.

More fans will be able to watch the demolition derby in comfort this year as the bleachers have been expanded to hold 800 people.

Enjoy the taste of country at fair in Pakenham Ashley Kulp akulp@metroland.com

For more than 100 years, the Pakenham Fair has been a late summer staple, celebrating the rich agricultural heritage of the area.

This year’s edition is set for Saturday Aug. 13 at Pakenham Community Park and the Stewart Community Centre. The traditional country fair includes horse, beef, dairy, horticultural and craft shows, vendors’ market and children’s activities.

Hosted by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, this year’s fair carries the theme ‘Animal Antics’ and will feature the Caven family of Mississippi Veterinary Services officially opening the fair at noon on Aug. 13.

However, activities at the fair actually get underway bright and early at 7 a.m. with the MacMillan Ladies Broomball breakfast at the fairgrounds concession stand. As the day rolls on, a bake sale inside the Stewart Community Centre will tempt your sweet tooth, beginning at 9 a.m. and the horse show at the ball diamond kicks off at 9:30 a.m.

Throughout the day, visitors can take in fall fair exhibits in the community centre, pick up some treasures at the craft show and vendor market from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or view horticultural exhibits, also at the community centre.

There’s plenty to keep the kids busy as well, with activities kicking off at 10 a.m., including bouncy castles, frog jumping, face painting with Korny Klowns, or make your own T-shirt for $5 with JB Arts. Another highlight includes the Eclectic Adam Comedy and Magic Show, with two viewings during the day, at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

In keeping with the animal theme, a hunting dog demonstration by Culandubh Kennel of Clayton will also take place during the day, as well as the popular Man’s Best Friend show at 10 a.m. Dress up your pet pal for the fair and show them off. The 4H Calf Show is set for 10 a.m. at Fred Millar Field.

Satisfy those hunger pangs at the Mississippi Mills Fire Department barbecue from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where firefighters will be grilling up hot dogs and hamburgers. Bragging rights and the title of Pakenham’s Best Chili will unfold at 2:30 p.m. with the annual Chili Contest.

Oh what a feeling at Carp’s drive-in bingo Tracey Zoobkoff and Ronnie Bidgood, co-presidents of the Carp Fair, pictured left dancing with West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, wanted to celebrate all of the wonderful volunteers that make the organization and the fair such a success. To recognize their contributions they are making a YouTube video to showcase all of the volunteers: the painters, seniors, bingo workers, office staff and more. Part of the video was filmed just before the final drive-in bingo night of the year on Aug. 3 by one of the office staff, Stephanie Verk, top right. The video will be set to the popular Justin Timberlake song ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’, which was also played before the bingo started as people danced The video should be completed by early fall. Watch for it on the fair’s social media.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you know how to lay on the charm to get a job done, and you might need to work your magic this week. Some might scoff, but the end results will be positive.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your work ethic is recognized by superiors this week. Accept this well-earned praise, but keep working hard to maintain your reputation.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have one foot on the ground, your head seems to be up in the clouds. Make an effort to regain your focus so you can finish the tasks at hand.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Problem-solving does not interest you this week, Cancer. You just want things spelled out to you in black and white. If things become too complicated, ask for clarification.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the pressure to make decisions is easing up, and you can finally relax and focus on entertaining things. Take some time to strengthen an important relationship as well.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ideas in your head are developing so quickly that you can’t pin one down. Your creativity is a feather in your cap, so make an effort to sort out your ideas.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Decisions that seemed so easy to make just a few days ago now seem like uphill battles. Don’t sell yourself short, as you can handle the challenges ahead.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You have an ability to attract power and love, Scorpio. Make the most of this power and try to help others as much as possible. You will be glad for having done so.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, recent contributions on the job are finally getting you some special attention. Your efforts paint you as a team player, and others are taking notice.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a big decision has you mulling all of the potential outcomes.

Take a few breaths and some extra time to reevaluate your priorities in the next few days.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, beauty is everywhere if you just look for it. Pay attention to the little details that can show you the potential of others. You may be surprised at what you find.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are much more comfortable when surrounded by a close network of friends. Organize a get-together with your social circle.

Missing berry pie a mystery for Mother Father, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door.

She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies.

“There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said.

It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes!

Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flour-bag tea towels.

The wonderful sweet smell followed us upstairs.

Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning!

We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once!

“He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.”

She was sure hoppin’ mad.

Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed.

Mother pointed a finger at each of my three brothers, who all vowed they had never touched the berry pie.

Father had the nerve to suggest maybe Mother had put it someplace, or maybe Earl, who sometimes walked in his sleep had taken it off the bake table.

“Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said.

The day passed and there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all.

Well, the next morning, was a repeat of the morning before.

Mother was yelling at the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once!

Then we saw what she was yelling about.

There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickel, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten!

Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

that passed through our farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night.

Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all.

MYSTERY SOLVED

He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before.

Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors!

No one in Northcote locked their doors.

Ours didn’t even have a key!

For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm.

Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed.

He said he knew they often slept in the barn. And they were hungry ... always hungry.

Riding the rails was their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive.

After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it.

It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs.

Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Canada Child Benefit – Information Session I was thrilled to be joined by Anita Vandenbeld the MP for Ottawa West-Nepean and Chris Rodgers, the 2015 Liberal Candidate for Carleton, for an information session at Tiny Hoppers Daycare in the Riding of Carleton. We had the opportunity to discuss the positive impacts the Canada Child Benefit will have for eligible families across the community. This event provided me with a great opportunity to listen and receive feedback from parents that are helped directly by the Government of Canada’s program. The CCB is simple; families will receive a single payment every month, tax-free, and they will not have to pay back amounts received when they file their tax returns.

It is also better targeted to those who need it most; low and middle-income families will receive more benefits while those with the highest incomes will receive lower benefits than under the current system. I could not agree with our Prime Minister more when he says, “The new Canada Child Benefit means more money for healthier groceries, kids’ summer programs, and back-to-school clothes. This is about putting money in the pockets of families who need it most, investing in our future, and helping the Canadian economy grow for the benefit of all.” I encourage everyone to visit http://bit.ly/2aL2gJo to calculate the amount of Child Care Benefit middle and working class families will receive.

Prime Minister’s Youth Council The Government of Canada is committed to listening to the issues that matter most to young people. That is why our Prime Minister, in his role as Minister of Youth, committed in Budget 2016 to create a Prime Minister’s Youth Council. Canadians, aged 16 to 24, will provide the Prime Minister with non-partisan advice on national issues such as employment, access to education, building stronger communities as well as climate change and clean growth, among others. Young Canadians who would like to participate are encouraged to apply online by 12 August 2016 at: https://www.canada.ca/en/ campaign/prime-ministers-youth-council.html

CANADA’s Largest Garlic Festival in Carp On Saturday August 13th to Sunday August 14th, the Carp Fair Grounds will be home to what has grown to be the biggest garlic festival in Canada.

Garlic, garlic and more garlic! You will never find more Ottawa Valley garlic in one place than you will at the Carp Farmers’ Market.

This, the 17th Annual Garlic Festival, promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

With over 120 booths showcasing 35 dedicated garlic growers selling fresh garlic, garlic spreads, dips, dressings, pesto’s, braids and baskets. They join 96 regular Carp Farmers’ Market vendors to celebrate the “stinky rose” from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sunday. All vendors must produce what they sell.

Over 65 varieties of garlic will be featured for customers to taste and buy, along with information sessions on choosing, growing and harvesting the bulb as well as cooking demonstrations from local restaurants.

New this year: Our Festival is lucky enough to be one of a select few places in the Ottawa area where you’ll be able to see a performance from the Mobile Millennium Carillon! This FREE performance will take place on Saturday ONLY from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Enjoy the variety of the festival’s huge international food court for refreshments, a snack or a meal. Lots of FREE parking, FREE admission, FREE samples, FREE demonstrations and with wheel chair accessibility.
