Swimmers beware Warning sign erected on Constance Bay beach after drowning death John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Shooting for fun in the Bay Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association hosted its third annual Fun in the Bay Day Aug. 13 at the community centre. While the weather outside was wet, the enthusiasm of those in attendance was not dampened with all the fun activities being moved inside. Above, Isolde McKay, 8, gets set for the balloon dart game. From Montreal, she was in Constance Bay visiting her grandparents. For more photographs from the event, see pages 38 and 39.

A warning sign has been erected at the entrance of the Constance Bay beach in the wake of the drowning death of a 10-year-old boy in the Ottawa River.

West Carleton-March city councillor Eli El-Chantiry tweeted on Friday, Aug. 12 that the sign would be installed on city property later that day.

The sign was up in time for the weekend near the Point Lounge.

Ironically, Saturday’s rain meant there was little activity on the beach, in marked comparison to the crowds that flocked to the sands the weekend before.

It was on that weekend that tragedy struck, reigniting public discussion on what should be done with the popular stretch of sand that is attracting more and more swimmers and sunbathers, even though it is not an official city beach and swimming area.

There were 160 children from ages 5 and 6 forming 19 teams that descended on the soccer fields in Carp on Aug. 9 for a West Carleton Soccer U6 festival. U6 soccer co-ordinator Joel Bondy reported the teams represented Carp, Constance Bay, Corkery, Dunrobin, Fitzroy Harbour and Kinburn. “Each team played three games throughout the evening and after their exciting games, the children - all thanks to Tim Hortons - were presented with a medal, enjoyed some Timbits and were able to purchase ice cream from on site Carp Custom Creamery,” said Bondy. “I am extremely proud of the fun and fair play that I witnessed that evening. The U6 festival was great.”

Among those enjoying the sun on the Constance Bay beach Aug. 6 was 10-year-old Maleak Thompson of the Toronto area.

He has been identified as the boy drowned after getting into trouble when wading along the sandbar.

He was apparently pulled by strong river currents into deep water at the sudden dropoff along the sand bar.

Around 30 Constance Bay residents hosted an emotional candlight vigil attended by Thompson’s family members on Sunday evening.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon was among the group gathered to express their condolences to the family for their loss.

Earlier El-Chantiry, Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau, police officers and area firefighter had also tweeted out their sorrow for the ‘tragedy’.

An impromptu memorial set up on the beach included a teddy bear and a photograph of the young lad.

The death revived calls

for signs warning swimmers about the drop-off and the strong currents.

It also restarted a debate on who owns the beach and what to do about the rapidly rising numbers of people visiting it for recreation.

The bilingual sign points out that the ‘Point Beach’ is not a city owned public beach and that there are no lifeguards are on duty.

It warns that “there are sudden drop-offs in the river and currents around the ‘Point’ can be strong.”

It goes on to say the area poses a “serious risk” to swimmers.

“Please use caution and ensure children are properly supervised at all times,” the sign concludes.

Most Constance Bay residents are well aware of the dangers and note that the lack of a marked out, protected swimming area surrounded by buoys should alert visitors that it is not a safe spot for weak swimmers.

There were signs placed on the beach several years ago after a drowning, but they have

Party-goers have presented noise and litter problems on and off at the beach for many years.

The status of the beach has been subject of lengthy battle between those who felt it should be limited to local residents and those who argued it is a public resource that should be open to all.

Carp firefighters to heat up summer with corn boil The Ottawa Fire Services Carp station will hold its annual family corn boil and barbecue this evening (Thursday, Aug. 18).

The public is invited to come out to Station 64 to enjoy an evening of fun and entertainment. Join Carp firefighters and their families for the corn boil barbecue, an event that has become an annual tradition supported by local business and residents of West Carleton.

The Ottawa Fire Service is dedicated to enhancing the public’s personal safety and well-being, protecting property and providing an essential service to the community.

Profits and proceeds from this year’s event will be reinvested in the community at children’s functions such as the safe (and very scary Halloween hunted house), the annual Christmas Parade and various other community outreach programs.

Included in the fun are music, good company, demonstrations and advice, fire safety, smoke detector and fire extinguisher information, and displays featuring specialized rescue units and fire vehicles.

Proud supporters this year will be Hudson’s sweet corn and from Carp’s own The Swan at Carp there will be hamburgers, pulled pork, hot dogs and cold drinks.

The event runs from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Carp Fire Station at 475 Donald B Munro Dr.

Site plan proposed for new teen abuse treatment centre John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

The City of Ottawa is seeking public input on a site plan proposal for a property at the edge of West Carleton to allow the construction of a 30-bed residential care facility for youth with addiction issues.

The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is in the process of acquiring 25 acres at 1883 Bradley Side Rd. near Richardson Side Road to bolster its property in the area where it already has a smaller treatment facility.

The city has started the site plan process and is targeting Sept. 20 as a completion date for a decision and is asking for public comments to be provided by this Friday, Aug. 19.

The plan calls for a one-storey building on a severed part of the property.

The severed parcel will have 200.7 metres of frontage on Oak Creek Road and 383.86 metres of frontage on Bradley Side Road, where the access will be located.

The city notes the surrounding land includes a horse jumping facility and lodging farm to the north, residences on the west, agricultural uses to the east and the Thunderbird Sports Complex to the south.

The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre

is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the residential treatment of youth between the ages of 13 and 21 who have substance abuse troubles and related behavioural and mental health issues.

The organization’s current treatment centre in the area is on land leased from the Royal Ottawa Hospital to the east of the proposed site of the new centre.

That facility has capacity for 10 females.

Another centre is located in Carleton Place and has room for 14 males.

However, the current facilities do not meet provincial guidelines for residential treatment centres.

They have been judged deficient in relation to operation efficiency, accessibility, safety, infection prevention, and control and sustainability.

The new treatment centre will accommodate 15 girls and 15 boys in separate wings and will house the organization’s administration.

The city notes the goal is to build a facility that has a home-like environment in a serene rural setting.

“This will be done by using more residential building material types (i.e. siding) and peaked roofs.

Look inside for the

The goal is to provide a residential feel to the building without it feeling institutionalized for its clientele.” Comments should be sent to planner Jeff Ostafichuk at Jeffrey. ostafichuk@ottawa.ca.

A public meeting will likely be held later in the process.

Geocaching in West Carleton Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

The game of Pokémon Go has exploded in popularity worldwide this summer, but the hunt for geocache has been around since 2000. The two have similarities.

The Diefenbunker in Carp recently got involved in the fad to promote August as archeology month. Interestingly, the Diefenbunker isn’t the first in the area to hide its own geocache.

A treasure hunt is how the Internet describes geocaching. It is meant to be an outdoor excursion with the use of GPS-enabled devices. With Pokémon Go, players must physically travel the game’s map to find the Pokémon, which leads them outdoors as

well.

Searchers have to sign up to the Geocaching.com website or use an app for their phones, which gives access to a map that reveals the general area on where to find the geocache. Discovering coordinates will help pinpoint the exact location. The website keeps track of geocache discoveries as well.

The map from the Diefenbunker has roughly 11 caches to be found around Carp and about another 10 in Dunrobin near Thomas Dolan Parkway, Dunrobin Road and Vances Side Road.

There is an estimated six caches to locate in areas by Crown Point and Constance Bay, another two near Galetta and about five more between Fitzroy Harbour and Kinburn, if hunters travel by Carp Road.

Those looking to add to their total finds, if determined enough, could also jump on the Quyon Ferry to try and uncover a geocache located near the ball field and Lions Club, which is right next to the ferry port on the Quebec side.

There are three types of geocache throughout West Carleton. The Diefunbunker has one of the traditional, original type of geocaches.

This basically means, at the very least, the geocaches will have a log to sign and date when the person finds them. Larger containers may have prizes, but the rule is if you take something, the reward must be replaced by something else.

The second type is multi-cache and requires two or more locations. The first stage will be a clue to the next stage, which eventually leads to a container with a logbook.

The last kind is the mystery or puzzle

SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

The geocache can be found in a variety of sizes, but the traditional ones will include paper for the searcher to log the find. This geocache was found in the Shawville area. cache - the Diefenbunker has two of these - and might include puzzles that need to be solved before figuring out the correct coordinates.

Seventh annual 9runrun emergency services run set for Oct. 15 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Registration is now open for 9runrun, the emergency services run that takes place each October in Stittsville.

Race day for this year’s seventh annual 9runrun will be Saturday, Oct. 15 with the races again being a half marathon, a 10K run and a 2K family run.

The event is organized in partnership with the city of Ottawa’s three emergency services – the Ottawa Police Service, the Ottawa Paramedic Service and the Ottawa Fire Service. Brenda Tirrell of Stittsville is the race

director.

9runrun is meant to be an event which not only shows support for the city’s emergency services personnel and encourages health and fitness but also has a tradition of raising funds for youth causes such as Do It For Daron.

Participants in the 10K and half marathon registered by the Oct. 11 deadline will receive long sleeve technical shirts. All 2K participants will receive long sleeve cotton shirts.

All participants will receive unique finisher medals which will be handed out at the finish line by uniformed officers from the

Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville will be the headquarters location for the annual 9runrun emergency services run again this year.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Every single drop of water counts

H

ere in Ottawa, we are lucky to live next to the Ottawa River; a massive source of water. And we are equally lucky that our city has managed the resource and its distribution carefully.

The Ottawa River is clean enough to swim in, for the most part. The river water runs through filtration plants and pipes that deliver a perfectly clean product to all but the rural homes in the city.

In much of the world, clean drinkable water is not a given. It takes time to haul and may take time to boil until potable. Here we simple turn the tap.

It’s something we take for granted. But a short drive away, equipment problems and weather conditions have quickly turned water into a question mark.

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority declared a severe drought condition for several sub watersheds of the Mississippi River last week.

Given the recent heat wave and limited rainfall, it’s no surprise. The question is – with climate change upon us – how many more droughts will turn arable land and productive wells into unusable or less productive land? The Town of Arnprior saw water shut off last week because of a loss of

pressure in the town’s pipes. Residents couldn’t even bathe in the water. Flushing a toilet was OK. Bottled water was handed out. It shows just how key water is to our existence.

Turn off the taps and our world will change dramatically in a matter of minutes.

Ninety per cent of Ottawa’s population lives on just 10 per cent of the city’s arable land.

Rural Ottawa relies on wells and septic tanks to exist and for them a power failure has up until now been the biggest threat. No electricity means no water pump bringing that ice-cold water up from your well. But the rural water supply is starting to show a few signs of distress.

On Aug. 12, with little or no rain in sight, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, based in Manotick, issued a press release stating that the Rideau River Watershed was now in the severe drought category. The decision was based on the 30day precipitation indicator they use. Once rural water supplies are affected by a lack of rain or ground surface water starts to decline, rural residents will be in trouble. We take it for granted, but it’s surely time to reassess our seemingly easy access to good water.

Take the fun, leave the phone at home

I

never understood what Pokémon was all about way back in 1995 when it was just a bunch of mysterious cards that kids collected.

Now, it has become something you do with your phone and I understand it even less. I’ve decided it’s not worth the trouble to learn, which is the kind of decision you have the luxury of making when you get older.

Fortunately you don’t have to understand the whys and wherefores of the game to be fascinated by the social consequences of whatever it is the players are doing.

The news media are full of reports about bizarre gatherings of people in unlikely places. Each day brings new tales of people behaving irrationally in pursuit of whatever it is, endangering themselves and others.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town To hear the media tell it, people are walking into traffic, falling off cliffs and into bodies of water, all the while looking for Pokémon thingies on their phones.

While you can usually discount such tales of horror by half, the sort of people who regularly become alarmed by new forms of behaviour are alarmed and ready to testify to the media about how alarmed they are.

Given the fact that there are genuinely alarming things going on in the world, the Pokémon Go disturbance is a pretty good example of a First World problem.

But that doesn’t stop people from demanding that something be done.

Communities are getting nervous.

Too many people are showing up at places such as Toronto’s ferry terminal or day-care centres in New Hampshire.

They are driving erratically around Toronto suburbs in the middle of the night.

Toddlers, it is claimed, have been abandoned and the Israeli army has expressed concern about security implications.

I’m reminded of the time, in 1981, when an Ottawa daily newspaper ran a promotion involving hiding a gold bar and printing clues as to its whereabouts.

People being people, misinterpretations were made and folks began digging in odd places, such as the Regional Detention Centre.

Eventually, the story goes, city police let the paper know that it would be good if the gold was found quickly, and it was.

While some cities are attempting to cash in on Pokémon Go’s popularity to attract visitors, Toronto has asked that the game’s developers move whatever it is away from the ferry terminal.

This, in turn, has dismayed the game’s devotees, who fear a crackdown. What some of them said is interesting. “It actually brings people together,” one woman told the Toronto Star.

“The normal games that you usually have in your phone … encourage kids to stay indoors.

This is the first game that brought people out.”

That’s a good point when you think about it, and maybe people have been too quick to condemn something they don’t completely understand.

selves. Now, here are a bunch of people venturing out and finding a kind of community when they get out there. Mind you, they’re still staring at screens. The trick now is to find ways of bringing out the people, while keeping the phones at home.

As you can tell, if you look around these days, this will not be easy.

Maybe if we hid some gold.

Don’t let politics deter locating the hospital expansion in the proper place To the Editor: Re: Take time to get hospital right (West Carleton Review, Aug. 11).

No one could argue the goal of getting the expansion of the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus right, but we should remember that this is the same NCC that turned Lebreton Flats over to be developed first and foremost as a hockey arena.

This is not an attempt to compare the two sites, Lebreton Flats and the Experimental Farm, but rather to point out that health care is a far greater priority, then virtually anything you could think of including hockey. Yet there was far more debate and concern about getting a new arena then there is about the Civic Hospital expansion.

Sure, as the editorial points out, the Friends of the Farm are concerned about the loss of acreage, and the argument is put forth that some other good cause could come along and eventually the farm would be dismantled.

First of all how many people are you talking about here, that are directly in-

volved as Friends of the Farm, compared to the thousands who have used and will use the Civic?

All voices are not necessarily created equal when it comes to a big issue like health care. The less then 60 acres needed, part of which is contaminated, represents the fraction of the thousand of acres that the Farm has.

What evidence is there that everything would eventually go?

It took decades to get rid of the 50 acres at Lebreton Flats and they still are not there. To suggest that now the farm will be dismantled because of 56 acres for a hospital is ludicrous.

By the way, hospitals are a lot of things, but giving up land to build for our future health needs hardly falls under the heading of a ‘good cause’.

The Experimental site is an excellent location, providing proximity to the world class Heart Institute. As well it would provide easy access to the cancer clinic, and provide a direct and easy link with other existing facilities.

The new site directly across from the current Civic has easy traffic access from the multi-laned Carling Avenue, and is just a few blocks from the 417 East or West. Primary consideration, in my view, should be given to ease of access.

Unless there is an overall vote, consultations with the public are usually a wasted exercise, as venting your opinion doesn’t translate into concrete action.

Put another way, are you going to make a billion-dollar decision on what a few hundred people say at a few public meetings.

One last point, the NCC board is comprised of more members who live outside of Ottawa then in Ottawa, and the majority will decide what is good for us. Which is why the original decision was probably the best, but the Conservatives lost, and now the Liberals get to paper over everything Conservative.

However in this instance, health care needs and practical solutions need to triumph over politics.

Jeff Spooner Kinburn

stern as it approaches its destination.

Your picture of the ferry clearly depicts this (West Carleton Review, Aug. 11).

The Quyon docks are in the immediate vicinity of the ferry and contribute to the hazard. One must back a larger vessel almost into the path of the ferry to exit the docks.

We must also give the shallow water a

wide berth whilst approaching the docks.

Again putting boaters in conflict with the ferry.

There is little margin for error and the situation is unsafe. This needs to be rectified before a serious accident occurs.

Carling train bridge a danger to car, bicycles To the Editor: I very much appreciate Jessica Cunha’s report about the great danger to commuter cyclists in Kanata at the narrow train bridge near 3701 Carling Ave. (West Carleton Review, Aug. 4).

It has also been a danger to cars for a very long time. The son of my next door neighbor in Ottawa died when he drove

ottawa

into the cement wall years ago.

On Sept. 8, 2015 and Feb. 18, 2016, I contacted CN Rail asking that the bridge be removed. I also faxed photos to show how narrow the passageway is.

As the railway tracks and the places where the tracks used to cross roadways have been removed, there is no need for that bridge.

The reply that I received was that “bridges will not be removed in the foreseeable future.”

If that unused bridge was removed, a safe route for those biking could be made by widening Carling Avenue at that spot.

The rural wave and other enduring country traditions Your laidback nature is indicative of your lifestyle.

You take your time and live in the moment, aware of your surroundings. The weather determines your daily activities.

You’re on farm time. You probably drive a bit slower than city folk as well. What’s your hurry? That kind of wave.

That is how it is done. And it seems to be a lost art.

The Kemptville Farmer’s Market is more than just an opportunity for me to sell some books and unload a truckload of zucchini.

It’s my social time.

I get to visit with people I haven’t seen in years, catch up with close friends and meet loyal readers of this column for the first time.

Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to stop by and say hi.

Sometimes I get really good suggestions for columns too. Last week a woman said she would like me to write about the disappearance of the rural wave. Many farmers still do it – it’s a hard habit to break.

When you’re on the road headed to market and you pass another pick-up truck, you put two fingers to your temple and give a quick salute. Some of you just raise your hand slightly from the steering wheel.

The light effort is symbolic of the casual nature of the wave. It may also be a sign that you are a bit low on energy, as you have been working hard on your farm.

IN THE COUNTRY

I grew up in the country outside the bustling metropolis of Kemptville when it boasted a population of about 4,000. There were no subdivisions to speak of, and we knew just about everyone in town and the surrounding hamlets.

We didn’t live on a farm, but we certainly knew how to do the rural wave. ™ It was a comforting gesture.

As the descendant of a multigeneration farm family, the rural wave is a habit he likely won’t be breaking soon. And yet I’m sure when he recognizes and waves at some people, they probably give him a confused look. missed the opportunity to wave as he passed someone he knew.

I still get to do the rural wave a few times a week, because I live near a single-lane bridge. If two vehicles are approaching this bridge from either side, you have to decide who will go first.

Now let me tell you, it’s a sure sign that you aren’t from around here if you speed up to get across the bridge before the other approaching vehicle gets there.

The neighbourly thing to do is to decrease your speed and pull over slightly. When you are close enough to the bridge, you decide who is closest and let them go first, obviously.

If you both reach the bridge at exactly the same time, it is common courtesy to let the other person go first.

Pull over, signal to the ditch and that will indicate to the other person you are letting them go.

Sometimes the courtesy volleys back and forth a few times before the final concession is made.

“You go first.” (beckons the other driver with a flick of the wrist).

“No, by all means, you go first.” (a comealong motion).

“Oh all right then, thank you very much.” (driver proceeds across bridge, deploys the rural wave).

I have to admit I don’t recognize half the vehicles or drivers that I used to. We have grown in population and I’ve lost track of who owns what farm.

Other than at the single lane bridge crossing, there are only a handful of people I wave to when I pass them on the road.

These are family members, and lifelong friends like, for example, Jim Perry.

Being a truck dealer he is always in a different set of wheels, but I’m pretty recognizable in Dora the Explorer, so he usually recognizes me and waves first.

As the descendant of a multi-generation farm family, the rural wave is a habit he likely won’t be breaking soon.

And yet I’m sure when he recognizes and waves at some people, they probably give him a confused look.

“What? Is my headlight out? Should I pull over?” The uninitiated can be bewildered by the wave. It is probably best to reserve it for those who know its purpose.

But for those you recognize, wave away.

You might get a text a short time later, asking you what’s going on, but you can explain you are just being neighbourly. We’re from the country and we like it that way.

Appreciate our young farmers Franchesca Weeks Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario

We’ve all heard the phrase “young farmers are the future of agriculture.”

According to Stats Canada, the average age of Canadian farmers is 54, and rising. But is this actually the average age of the farm business owner?

In our observation, many of our family farms have 2 to 3 generations working on the farm. If all those working on the farm were included, this could bring the average age of farmers much lower.

Maybe young farmers are not just the future of agriculture, but are in fact the farmers of today.

The Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO) organized our 2016 free barbecues for farmers under 40 to celebrate the work of today’s farmers.

We want to recognize young farmers, show our appreciation and let them know that we admire their hard work on the farm.

This is the second year we have travelled across the province inviting every young farmer in the area to come for an evening of fun and fellowship.

At the same time, we show our appreciation for what they do for a living. A speaker from FCC at each event talks about ‘Getting in on the Food Conversation’ and how important it is to speak up for agriculture and be ‘AgProud’.

Each event is held at one of our members’ farms.

Our first event was hosted on July 14 in the Chatham-

Kent- Essex district at the home of the CFFO’s president Clarence Nywening. The second barbecue was held at the home of Roger and Julie Wikkerink on July 25 in Oxford. The third event was at Rounds Ranch, home of Ken and Geraldine Rounds, on July 27 in Simcoe County. All three events were a huge success.

We entertained the kids with carnival games, face painters, bouncy castles, a photo booth and a cotton candy machine. We also had amazing door prizes that were donated by our sponsors, including $100 gift cards, T-shirts, camping chairs, picnic backpacks and more. At each location we had a food bin where farmers were able to donate non-perishable goods to the local food bank.

The CFFO acknowledges that younger farmers have their own issues and concerns. This event was another way for them to voice their opinions and connect with staff on issues such as lack of local processing, onerous regulations, or the challenges of starting a new farm business.

We thank our sponsors FCC, Beef Farmers of Ontario, Alpine, FBC, Jaylor, Grand Valley Fortifiers, Grain Farmers of Ontario and Meester Insurance on their amazing support. Without them we wouldn’t have been able to give back to the young farmers in these three districts.

Overall these were amazing events of fellowship, great food and entertainment. We look forward to planning similar events for 2017 celebrating farmers of today.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton National Capital Open – Support our Troops Play at the Canadian PGA Golf Tournament takes place at the Hylands Golf Course in Ottawa (located near the Ottawa airport) from 18 – 21 August.

The tournament is an official tournament on the Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada schedule. Proceeds from the National Capital Open will benefit the Support Our Troops program – this year focusing on helping to end Veterans homelessness. I look forward to a great weekend of golf!

Kanata’s Olympic Athletes I want to congratulate our Riding’s athletes and coaches who are representing our country at the Rio Olympics. Participants from our Riding include: • Erica Wiebe (wresting) • Cam Smedley (canoe slalom) • John Hawes (coach) We are so proud of the whole team and wish them all the greatest success!

Veterans and Defence Events It was a great honour for me to represent the Minister of National Defence at the Peacekeeping Memorial unveiling in Sydney N.S. This great event was held on Peacekeeper’s Day (9 August), and reminds us all of the great work and sacrifice Canada’s Peacekeepers have contributed throughout the years. I was also delighted to attend a medal presentation for a 94 year old Veteran of WWII who received the Légion d’Honneur medal from the French Government, and to attend a Veterans roundtable discussion.

A small peek into the past for Fitzroy and the Ottawa River Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

Hall of fame hockey player Frank Finnigan won a Stanley Cup with the Ottawa Senators in 1927. Once upon a time, he even played against Fitzroy Harbour.

Ottawa Senators fans at the Canadian Tire Centre have probably noticed the banner that hangs up in the rafters of the arena. The name and number belongs to Finnigan, otherwise known as ‘The Shawville Express’ during his time in the National Hockey League as he was a Shawville native.

His number 8 was retired by the Senators organization in 1992. Finnigan spent seven seasons with the Senators in the 1920s and ‘30s.

An article by Roy MacGregor reports that a 13-year-old Frank Finnigan picked up $10 in Quyon for playing in a hockey game against the cross-river Ontario rival, which, of course, was Fitzroy Harbour. However, the story stops short on saying whether it was Quyon or Fitzroy that won.

According to the books ‘The Romance of Fitzroy Harbour’ by Fred Sadler and ‘Tallying the Tales of the Old-Timers’ by Joan Finnigan – incidentally Frank Finnigan’s daughter – those hockey games were likely played on the ice out on the Ottawa River in the early 1900s.

The connection with Quyon continued in those early years of the 20th century.

Going back to Sadler’s and Finnigan’s books, both state a rather exciting event for people in Fitzroy Harbour and beyond would have been the ice racing. The logical location for the races would be on the river.

These events lasted from 1910 to 1926 and would take place over two days. Usually, this was in February, so the ice would be considered deep and safe enough for the horses.

The majority of the entrants came from Ottawa and Fort Coulounge and places in-between.

Tents were set up on the ice to keep the horses and a blacksmith was even on hand. If a horse didn’t have a shoe for the ice, they couldn’t race. The contests brought out large crowds and they paid 50 cents for admission, which allowed for some prize money for the contestants.

Of course, the ferry crossing that has docks at Quyon and in the Fitzroy Harbour area existed at this particular time.

The river link has been around since 1885, according to the ferry’s website. In the early days, it would have been a horsedriven ferry owned and piloted by Augustus Davis. The horsepower ferry lasted to about 1916, when a new one equipped with a Fairbanks Morse gasoline engine was started up by Angus McLean.

Don McColgan has been at the helm since 1991 with a new cable-driven ferry hitting the water in 2014. The larger ferry can now handle anything from tractor-

FITZROY HISTORY

It is believed that Charles Shirreff founded the settlement of Fitzroy Harbour in 1831. According to the book, ‘Beyond our Memory … a history of Fitzroy Township’ by the Fitzroy Township Historical Society, Shirreff had two sons Alexander and Robert with him. He had been granted of 4,500 acres to make a settlement.

Shirreff had come from a Scottish family. He also established a sawmill and flour mill as well as a log building for a school and church.

In 1953 Fitzroy decided to invest into fire protection as it was becoming more difficult to rely on Arnprior for its fire services. The town raised $2,000 for the cause and Ontario Hydro contributed a three-ton truck. A pump and 750-gallon tank were added to the truck, which was designed by a man named Lloyd Ringland.

Another major event for Fitzroy was the opening of Fitzroy Provincial Park in 1961. The work leading up the opening included the construction of four miles of road, the clearing of 100 acres of bush and swamp and the planting of 90,000 seedling trees.

The best way to prevent tick bites include: • Wearing closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants • Pulling your socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs • Wearing light-coloured clothing to spot ticks more easily • Using insect repellent containing DEET or Icaridin on clothing as well as on exposed skin.

Tick populations are established in known risk areas throughout the province.

In addition, multiple factors are allowing ticks to potentially establish populations in new areas throughout the province.

These factors include climate change, warmer winter temperatures and ticks’ ability to “hitch-hike” on suitable hosts, like birds or deer.

Warning issued after possible infant formula tampering at Kanata Walmart Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people who bought infant formula at a Kanata Walmart to check the product for tampering.

The agency issued the advisory on Aug. 11 after the store reported that packaged formula had been substituted with another product.

“This type of issue is not typically associated with the manufacturing process but can occur occasionally when a consumer returns altered products to the retail store for a refund,” said the food inspection agency in a news release.

The outer container appeared intact but the formula inside had been swapped, said the agency.

“Consumers using infant formulas should examine the packaging material to ensure that

the security seal is intact and has not been altered or the product substituted,” said the CFIA. There has been no illnesses linked to the complaint, said the agency. The food inspection agency did not release the brand name of the formula and said the investigation had been turned over to police.

“From what I understand, just the one (case had been reported),” said Denis Schryburt, spokesperson for the CFIA. “Whenever there’s something like this the local police or RCMP will take on the investigation.”

Ottawa police wouldn’t confirm or deny if they are investigating potential tampering and that details are only divulged if a charge is laid.

The food inspection agency warned people not to consume or use products that appear to be altered, and to contact local police or the CFIA if suspected tampering has occurred.

West CarletonMarch Eli El-Chantiry was at the Carp Fair Drive-in Bingo on Aug. 3 reminding residents to slow down when driving.

He spoke about the continuing speeding problems and had a large crowd line up for ‘Slow Down For Us’ signs produced by the City of Ottawa.

Police focus on impaired driving and roundabout safety Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Local police have a new target for August.

Ottawa and Gatineau police are on the hunt for impaired drivers and are monitoring roundabout safety this month.

According to statistics kept through the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP), due to impaired driving there were 1,680 collisions involving pedestrians, resulting in 17 deaths and 717 injuries between 2010 and 2014.

When it comes to roundabouts, during the same period, there were 403 crashes, resulting in 44 injuries.

STEP uses geographical statistics from the RCMP, OPP and Ottawa Police, as well as provincial safety campaigns to determine a focus for monthly enforcement.

Ottawa police Const. Marc Soucy said the selection is in line with the time of year, the public’s priorities and also traffic issues.

“We try to target specific incidents that are specific to the time of the year and the concerns of Ottawa,” Soucy said.

In July, STEP focused on cycling safety and red light running. June’s focus was pedestrian safety and construction zones.

School bus safety will be the focus in September.

Soucy said there continues to be quite a lot of confusion over what drivers are supposed to be doing as

they approach a roundabout and how to manoeuvre through it.

He said police are encouraging drivers to watch out for signs that signal which lane to be in heading into the intersection.

“Most of them have pretty large signs explaining which lane you should be in if you wish to continue straight or turn or so on,” he said.

While impaired driving knows no season, Soucy said the focus on it in August stems from the long weekend. “Impaired driving is always a concern.”

It’s a concern not just on the roads, but also on the waterways.

And police were able to crackdown on impaired boating during a recent blitz.

Ottawa-Gatineau’s Operation Dry Water resulted in 33 liquor licence offences, four roadside tests, two three-day suspensions, three boats removed from the water and one environmental protection act offence. Most of STEP’s targets stem from what Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of Safer Roads Ottawa Program, calls the fatal four – impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding and seatbelts.

The concern about roundabout safety is a newer addition.

“Depending on the topic, we’ve had very good success. In others, much like distracted driving, we continue to see that any given day when staff go out and do enforcement there are really far too many people doing it,” Wilkinson said.

Crime rate down in city Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

The crime rate might be going down, but instances of violent crime are up in the City of Ottawa.

The police services board received its annual report at a meeting on June 27, showing the crime rate, calculated per 100,000 people, went down two per cent between 2014 and 2015.

But according to the crime severity index – a measure of police reported crime reflecting the seriousness of offences – violent crime was up 7.3 per cent.

Board member Sandy Smallwood questioned the difference during the meeting.

“I’m at a loss for why we are seeing that change,” he said. “Is this a trend? Why are we seeing this flip?”

Deputy Chief Jill Skinner explained that to be a trend, the occurrence would have to be seen over three consecutive years.

“It’s driven by increases in attempted murders, robberies, assaults, sexual violations and abduction offences,” Skinner said.

“Additionally, the increases in non-violent crimes that carry more serious sentences added to that outcome.”

Repeat offenders who receive longer sentences also contribute to the increase seen on the crime severity index she said.

“We have seen more violence and more guns, although over 2015 it has dropped slightly,” Skinner said.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the police board, cautioned board members not to read too much into the report.

“I’d be very careful about how you interpret this. We live in a safe city and police are doing a good job,” Harder said.

“Our stats are excellent.”

The police have also released statistics by ward. They can be found online at www.ottawapolice.ca/en/ crime/Crime-Stats.asp.

In the 2015 police annual report, criminal code traffic offences were up 1.7 per cent over 2104. That’s attributed to an increase in impaired operation offences (two per cent) and Dangerous Operation of motor Vehicle (nine per cent), provincial traffic offences were down none per cent. Fatal collisions were down

29 per cent, with 17 in 2015 and fatalities were down 24 per cent to 19.

Those statistics are in line with a general downward trend in traffic fatalities, Wilkinson said. A decrease, he attributes, in part to education programs, as well as enforcement and changes in vehicle technology.

Wilkinson said police know traffic concerns remain top of mind for residents, as seen in a recent public survey. “There’s a tremendous appetite for the Ottawa Police Service to move forward and do enforcement, and the model there is to be strategic with that enforcement as well,” he said.

There were four camps, each accessed only by helicopter, conducting the surveys. Our daily routine involved recording the sandpipers and plovers encountered during a five-hour walk centered on high tide.

Walking along the coast is oft times difficult for numerous streams must be forded, some underlain by muck that behaves like quicksand.

At high tide a meandering route is necessitated in order to avoid the copious deep pools that punctuate the land.

We suffered one heat wave in which temperatures soared into the mid-thirties.

One hot day I walked nearly 20 kilometres and ended up suffering agonizing leg cramps because of dehydration.

Migrating shorebirds depend on James Bay. It provides them with mud-dwelling invertebrates that provide the fat to power their journey to the eastern United Sates (and eventually to South America).

The shorebirds – primarily Arctic-nesters – feed along the edge of the salty water

as it recedes and then returns to invade the land. Of particular interest are the endangered Red Knots, some of which bear individually coded flags on their legs. A flag’s colour reveals where the bird was captured: red is Chile; light and dark green, the United States; white, Canada. Reading a flag’s code involves cautious approach and careful scrutiny through a spotting scope.

Because knots can wade in water that covers a flag, or other sandpipers block your view, a glimpse of a tag’s colour is sometimes the only reward for your efforts.

In addition to hundreds of knots, we tallied thousands of White-rumped and Semipalmated sandpipers.

Also present were hundreds of Hudsonian Godwits, huge sandpipers with long, upturned bills, and much smaller Least Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers, which look like miniature Killdeers with a single breast band.

As the tide ebbs, flocks

wheel and swirl as their members seek new feeding sites.

One day a thousand White-rumped Sandpipers flew directly at me, their wings a whistling blur, a mere metre above the wet sand. When they reached me, the flock magically parted and swiftly swept past me, two branches of an avian river that quickly consolidated back into one massive group.

And then there were geese.

Each day we encountered hundreds of Canada Geese feeding on grasses that paint the mud above the high tide green. They would run ahead and eventually fly, flushing sandpipers in their wake.

We were not the only animals to watch geese. Several times we watched a Gray Wolf stalking them; once I saw a wolf carrying a duck in its mouth.

Other camps also reported wolves; one lucky group had a wolf circle them, a mere 20 metres away.

That same camp also encountered a Polar Bear, a rare sight that far south.

Many of the volunteers are 20-something old. Our camp set a record as we were all over 60 years of age.

I hope to return next year for the surveys.

That is if my aging body allows me to!

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Three tips to boost your child’s school success Though your kids may not want to hear it, a new school year is about to begin.

Here are three ways you can contribute to their school success, from elementary to post-secondary.

Actively participate in your child’s education: “Research shows that parental involvement leads to higher student achievement and success,” says Akela Peoples, president and CEO of The Learning Partnership, a national charitable organization dedicated to advancing publicly funded education.

“Parents should monitor their child’s progress, provide a structured routine, attend school meetings and events, and SUBMITTED encourage their children by telling them they can be successful.” Ensure your child has access to help: “We all need help, but often shy away from asking The students at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy had an exciting year, winning major math for it,” says Roshaan Hajira, a member awards, taking part in several environmental and social action initiatives, and generally excelling in of the alumni advisory committee of many areas.

“Look for opportunities in your community that offer things like workshops for learning, personal and professional development and new skills to help you succeed in and out of school. My top back to school tip: don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

Make sure your child has a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP): “Having an RESP is a great way to encourage your child to continue their education and can help you prepare for the cost down the road,” says May Wong, executive director of the nonprofit SmartSAVER. “With an RESP you get access to available government grants and can grow your savings tax-free.

There’s a wide selection of providers and different types of RESPs to choose from, including accounts you can start with no fees and no minimum contribution.”

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Cheryl Hyndman, a long-time teacher at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, shows off the top athlete trophy named in her honour and the Peter Lake Award she was presented with at the end of the school year. Hyndman is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA).

New athletic co-ordinator named for west-end schools Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Long-time A.Y. Jackson Secondary School physical education teacher and athletic director Cheryl Hyndman had her own graduation of sorts at the end of June.

The 18-year veteran of the Kanata high school – 30 years altogether with the school board – is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association.

“It’s a good transition for me into retirement and I’ll still have that connection to the school,” said Hyndman, who will be responsible for all high-school sports in the west end of the city.

Her coverage area includes schools in Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Stittsville and West Carleton in the four boards (English and French public and Catholic) as well as private schools.

“I’m very fortunate. I have a job I absolutely love. I learn something new every single day,” said the Bridlewood resident. “For me it’s about the kids.”

Hyndman’s name will live on at A.Y. after students had the top-athlete award renamed in her honour.

She was surprised with the trophy at the school’s end-of-year banquet.

“The whole event, I was just in tears the entire time,” said Hyndman. “It was the kids’ idea. It’s cool; you walk past the trophy case and there it is.”

She was also presented with the Peter Lake Sportsmanship Award – usually reserved for students – for outstanding leadership, sportsmanship and unselfishness at the end-of-year banquet.

The award was also presented to student Destiny Scheel.

The Cheryl Hyndman Athlete of the Year Award was presented to four students: se24 West Carleton Review - Thursday, August 18, 2016

niors Thao Dao and Ian Tracy, and juniors Emily Zhao and Tyler Hendrycks.

Known as the “school mom,” Hyndman has been integral in helping athletes thrive and keeping the student body active. She’s led numerous sports teams to OFSSAA – the provincial finals and championships for high school students – but for her the main goal was always to have fun and be active.

“A hundred per cent effort is more important than how good you are,” she said. “I just want them to come and have fun.”

Hyndman was described by a number of her co-workers as welcoming, positive, organized and passionate.

“She pushes the students but also realizes they’re kids. A lot of them refer to her as the school mom – that wouldn’t happen unless they knew she cared about them,” said Cindy Arnott, who’s worked at A.Y. for 25 years.

“Cheryl has benefitted our school through her unwavering commitment to our students and staff. Her positive attitude and seemingly endless energy have allowed her to be involved in too many activities and initiatives to list,” said physical education teacher Chris Layer, who’s worked with Hyndman for 21 years.

“Her open door policy makes the phys ed department a safe space for so many students.

Her office is always filled with students coming to say hi or looking for advice … They know Cheryl is always there for them when they need it,” said dance teacher Katie Hill.

“Cheryl is the heart of AYJ. The school will be a very different place without Ms. Hyndman in the hallway. We are so proud of her but will miss her dearly.”

Hyndman said the move is bittersweet.

She’ll miss teaching, but as the athletic coordinator she’ll still be able to visit the school and attend A.Y.’s games.

“It’s a really nice community school,” she said. “For a small school we have a big punch.”

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Is your child a perfectionist?

Being a perfectionist can be a good thing, but only if it the tendency is kept within reasonable limits.

If not, this character trait can become unhealthy and cause a lot of imbalance in a child’s life.

How can parents judge if their child’s search for perfection is excessive?

How can they help him or her to better manage it?

The following advice may be of use.

Sure, we try to teach our children that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

But that doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect.

Perfectionism is harmful to our well-being when it results in additional stress.

The constant dissatisfaction of striving for unattainable goals results in a frantic pace and constant self-doubt.

If you notice this kind of attitude in your children, take action right away in order to help them regain their self-esteem. They

must not be allowed to sink further into the vicious circle of perfectionism.

Be a role model for your children in their progress towards a healthy attitude regarding effort and making mistakes.

The help of a psychologist may also be appropriate.

The ideal time to do homework is as soon as kids get home from school, after a healthy snack.

SOME SOLUTIONS

The best method to follow is to ease back one step at a time.

Help your child find a way to change one behaviour at a time and gradually relax the rigid rules she has imposed on herself.

Over time, she will understand that not all situations require the same degree of perfection and that her loved ones do not require it either.

She will learn to set achievable goals and take pleasure in attaining them, without worrying exclusively about succeeding.

Teach her that making mistakes is a part of life and a part of learning.

Five tricks to make homework easier The start of a new school year also means the return of homework.

Here are five tricks to keep this daily chore from becoming a source of conflict between kids and parents.

1.

Establish a routine. Homework should be done at a set time to avoid negotiations and instill selfdiscipline in kids.

The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack.

2.

Start with the most difficult tasks.

It’s better to start with what kids like the least or the subject they find

most difficult; after a day at school, kids are already tired of concentrating and will be less and less attentive as the minutes go by. This will also allow them to finish their homework on a positive note.

3.

Have everything close at hand.

Make sure they’re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a compass, and anything else that is needed.

This will cut short the imaginative ways kids can delay starting

their homework.

4.

Take a break. Primary school-age kids are bound to lose concentration after about 20 minutes.

When you notice that happening, give them a short break of a predetermined duration.

5.

Create motivation.

If the kids have a hard time sitting still, get them to spell words while throwing a ball in the air or going up and down stairs.

Or promise to play with them for 15 minutes as soon as they’ve finished their homework.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION How to live with your teenager’s latest look for back to school The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes.

When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties.

Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters.

Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises. After all, who’s never upset their parents with some unconventional clothing?

Are you done with boring lunches?

Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes? Are they complaining about always eating the same old thing? Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these brilliant ideas.

You can put your children’s favourite leftovers in an insulated container or a microwaveable dish. You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes. Cut strips of chuck roast eaten in the evening to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the remains of a roasted chicken. Even eaten

cold, these dishes help beat the monotony of the usual fare.

For sandwiches, forget sliced white bread; it contains little nutrition and can get boring. Opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas. Fill the sandwich with home cooked meats cut into strips, or use hummus, tofu mix, cheese, or tuna — all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts. Condiments don’t have to be the traditional mustard and mayonnaise. Why not try ranch dressing, pesto, or guacamole for a change? The fruits and vegetables food group also benefits from a bit of variety.

Adolescence is a period of self-affirmation. When it comes to your teenager’s sense of style, try to be as flexible as your values will let you.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school.

Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge.

Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation.

Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti.

Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an

undesirable nature.

Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone.

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares.

Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school.

In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide.

No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying.

Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

Sleep, an important element to success Do your teenagers sleep a lot? Good! In order to be fit and able to absorb lots of new information, adolescents should get between nine and ten hours of sleep a day. If your teens have a tendency to go to bed around midnight and then get up at seven in the morning to go to school, they’re probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep. Sleeping in till noon on Saturday won’t help them recover.

During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep. Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can undergo abrupt changes in level. On top of that, many teenagers neglect their sleep because of a busy schedule.

A young person who doesn’t get enough

sleep will have trouble getting up in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, nervous, irritable and depressed. A chronic lack of sleep reduces a person’s learning and memory skills and can have a negative impact on school grades. To restore a normal sleep cycle that will improve their academic performance, encourage your teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and get up every day at the same time.

• Turn off all screens (including cell phones) at least one hour before going to bed.

• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; try a glass of warm milk, a warm bath and listening to soft music.

West Carleton Skating Club – 2016-2017 Skating Registration is now open

Encourage your teenagers to find out about various study programs without putting any pressure on them.

Career choices: try not to worry By the time they graduate from high school, your teenagers are expected to have made certain choices about their future careers.

What do they want to do in life?

If you feel your children are undecided or unmotivated, or if they refuse to talk about it, don’t be discouraged just yet.

There are many different ways you can help your children through this process.

First of all, take every possible opportunity to discuss their interests and skills.

Listen without judging and criticizing.

Go ahead and tell them you could picture them doing this or that profession, but don’t pressure them.

The important thing is to keep your teenagers thinking about the future.

Encourage them to see a career counsellor so they can explore their natural talents

and learn about the different programs of study open to them.

Remember that it’s never too late to decide on a career.

In fact, more and more students are choosing their professions after they reach adulthood and after trying various jobs.

Through all their explorations, young people discover their own identity, assimilate all kinds of knowledge and accumulate valuable life experience.

Your children’s career paths may be very different from yours.

Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon to change careers once, twice or even more often nowadays.

In short, be patient when helping your teenagers in their career choices.

And remember, they need their parents’ support, even if they don’t show it openly.

Playoffs start in Greater Ottawa Fastball League Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

The first round of playoffs in Greater Ottawa Fastball League has the teams battling it out in best-of-five series.

West Carleton Electric took the first game of its series on the road against the Stittsville 56ers last Wednesday night.

The final score was 8-3.

The Electric got a run in the first and the 56ers answered back with two in the bottom of the opening inning to pull ahead. West Carleton retook the lead in the second, as Neil Murphy and Mike Cavanagh scored.

The Electric pushed the score to 4-2 in the top of the third and after the 56ers

pulled to within one in the bottom of the third, they threatened again in the fourth inning by loading the bases. However, West Carleton managed to get the three outs without any damage done.

West Carleton cushioned its lead in the top of the seventh. Andy Barber singled and advanced to third on Derek Barber’s single. Jeff Barber walk to load the bases.

Steve Cavanagh then hit a grounder and the 56ers went for the out at home, but did not make the play as Andy Barber scored. Electric took advantage, plating three more runs in the inning to make the final score 8-3.

West Carleton played again on Tuesday (in Fitzroy) and Wednesday, both after press deadline.

Meanwhile, the Carp-based Ottawa Valley A’s had a tough time with the Quyon Flyers as the Quebec side mounted a major comeback to win 12-5 in the first game of their series.

Valley jumped out to 5-3 lead going into the fourth, but the Flyers tallied up seven runs in the bottom of the fourth.

The game was pretty much settled when Joe McCleary and Matt Greer had backto-back solo home runs.

The Valley A’s and the Flyers met up again in Carp for game two on Tuesday after press deadline.

In the other series opener, 14C Victory blanked Kars Aces 3-0.

The regular season champs, Micksburg Twins, have a bye.

‘Hockey can bring out so many emotions’ Continued from page 28

The Coyotes, who traded up to pick the highly-ranked defenceman, called him to the stage to join a team of exciting young stars led by franchise superstar Shane Doan. He put on the jersey for the first time.

“There are so many emotions,” Jakob said.

“Excitement and happiness most of all. It’s all I’ve been working for for a long-time, and to see my hard work pay off – it was really great.”

He quickly recovered to say much work lies ahead before he secures a spot on the roster. Jakob has trained at Paul and Lucas Lawson’s Pro Skaters school in Arnprior.

Jeff says the former Sarnia Sting defenceman has worked just as hard as anyone he has ever known, which says a lot from a former NHLer. “He’s as committed as anyone I’ve known.”

Jeff admits to challenging his son somewhat when a youth, but very little for most of his life.

Jakob pushes himself and has grown up with other Floridians who work hard at their chosen sports, usually baseball and football.

The toughest interview question came next: “So which of you is the best

hockey player?”

Grandson and son don’t hesitate to point at John, as all break out laughing.

“No,” says Jeff. “Jakob’s definitely taken everything we’ve done to the next level. For sure.” *** As they walk into the rink, Jakob is looking forward to jumping on the ice with his best friend.

Logan Brown was selected No. 11 overall by the Ottawa Senators in the draft and played against Jakob last year, as the Windsor Spitfires’ second highest scorer.

The boys met because their fathers grew up together playing hockey and, like them, went to the NHL. Logan’s dad Jeff played with the Quebec Nordiques, St. Louis Blues and other teams, even making the 1992 AllStar game. He coaches the Ottawa 67’s so was forced to face Logan and Jakob from a helpless position behind the bench last year.

Although father, son, and grandson have played together in summer hockey for about seven years now, John would bow out on this day. He could wear a brace on his knee, but opted out. Jeff marvels at his dad playing hockey usually two days a week at 70 years old.

The game includes a few other players suspi-

One has an orange

Sens practice jersey, another moves as though he has had at

least major junior experience.

All appear smitten to be on the ice with the two high draft picks. Before the game photos are taken.

Throughout the game the lads are watched closely, though refuse to showboat; perhaps to some disappointment.

Then it happens.

Jakob and Jeff break free for a two-on-one.

A hard pass to dad that an average player would bobble.

Jeff should have taken the shot. But, being a father, he didn’t. The pass goes right back to the son.

It is almost a touchshot goal.

The son scores, as virtually every hockey dad would have it.

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.

Jr. B hockey moves into Kanata and the Jack Charron Arena Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Junior hockey is coming back to the Jack Charron Arena.

The Ottawa Canadians Jr. B team will move into Kanata for the upcoming season and work closely with the Lasers Jr. A and midget AAA teams on player development.

“The Kanata Lasers showed an interest and we wanted to get closer,” said Tasso Vasilas, owner and head coach of the Jr. B Ottawa Canadians.

“It’s very exciting. These kids have dreams of playing at a higher level.”

The Canadians used to play out of the Sandy Hill Arena in the east of Ottawa. The move from the city core to the suburbs will allow the Lasers to keep an eye on potential draftees and Jr. B players could be used as

call-ups.

“We’ll be right next door to them,” said Vasilas. “If you’re 17 or 18 (years old), they most definitely can be playing Jr. A.” The Canadians first game of the season is Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. against the Ottawa West Golden Knights.

“They’re a pretty big rival of ours,” said Vasilas.

“Hopefully, we can attract some people to come and watch.”

Jeff Jordan, head coach for the Kanata Lasers Jr. A and midget AAA teams, said he’s looking forward to the collaboration between teams in different levels of hockey.

“It’s very convenient they’re moving out there,” he said.

“It’s a great opportunity to work with Tasso and the Canadians, and have them local too. It sounds like we’re going to have a

real good relationship.”

The bulk of the Lasers midget AAA players are from Kanata and Stittsville, while a chunk of local players recruited for the Jr. A team are also from the west end, said John Hill, operations manager for the Kanata Lasers and former general manager of the Ottawa Canadians.

Adding a Jr. B team into the mix allows for additional training options.

“We’re trying to keep more local kids playing for the local teams,” Hill said. “This way we can have them play in Jr. B and then move them up to Jr. A, depending on how they develop.”

HOCKEY COMMUNITY

The Ottawa Canadians will play every Tuesday at the Glen Cairn arena during the

regular season. With a large community surrounding Jack Charron, the goal is to draw more people to the games.

“Its not the old goon-style hockey that you used to see years ago in Jr. B,” said Vasilas. “It’s pretty good hockey.”

The Ottawa Canadians won the league championship in 2009-10 and again in 201213.

The Lasers used to play out of Jack Charron, before the team moved to the Kanata Recreation Complex. The team attracted a sizeable crowd for its games at the Glen Cairn arena.

“There are quite a few people in a five minute walk from the arena,” said Hill.

“The problem we have with the Lasers playing at the KRC – it’s a great facility but it’s in a bad location. On a cold winter’s night you can’t walk to the KRC.”

Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor

Olympic athlete joins AGH fundraising aising walk/run on Sept. 10 Almonte’s very own Olympic athlete, Perianne Jones, will be running in the Scotiabank 2016 Mississippi River Walk and Run on Sept. 10. The event is a fundraiser for the Almonte General Hospital’s birthing centre and women’s health care.

Jones, 31, represented Canada at both the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics, competed in four World senior and three World junior championships, and earned two World Cup team sprint bronze medals, in 2012 and 2013. She also had three top-10 results at the World Cup, and came in 11th in the team sprint at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Last year, Jones retired from the Canadian cross-country ski team and moved back to her hometown of Almonte from Canmore, Alberta, with her husband.

Jones says she has a lot of reasons for participating in the run/walk event. “I was born at AGH,” she says. “And I know how important the hospital is to Almonte and the surrounding area. The people of Almonte have been very supportive of me during my cross-country ski career.

So I always jump at the opportunity to help in any way possible to pay back this community’s generosity.”

But Jones’ reasons for participating in the AGH fundraiser don’t stop there. When she retired from a 15-year stint with the Canadian team last year, she told an Ottawa Citizen reporter that it was time to further her education. Last fall she enrolled in the sonography program at the Canadian National Institute of Health in Ottawa. Next month she will begin an eight-month

practicum as an ultrasound technologist.

Jones is very enthusiastic about her chosen career. “It is a rapidly expanding area of diagnostic imaging. Ultrasound is so cost effective and fast that it’s often the first line of investigation. It also involves no radiation, which makes it very safe. And with technological advances, it will get better and better at diagnostic imaging.”

Jones also understands how important ultrasound services at AGH are to the Almonte community and surrounding area. “These services need to become more accessible to people who live in the area,” she says, noting that they play a vital role in women’s health care.

AGH’s Digital Imaging Department has been providing an increasing number of ultrasounds, from obstetrical to abdominal, pelvic, thyroid and carotid artery, in recent years, particularly with the expansion of Gynecological/ Obstetrics services. Replacement, updating and acquisition of new diagnostic imaging equipment are priorities for the hospital.

And that’s why Jones will run in the Mississippi Run/Walk on Sept. 10. She says it will be a family affair. She will be joined by her father, Brad, who is an avid runner, her brother, Kieran, who coaches the Nakkertok Nordic ski team in Ottawa, as well as her mother, Judi Agnew, who has worked as a pharmacist at AGH for 30 years.

“It’s such a wonderful way to participate in a community event, to have some fun and to raise funds for our hospital at the same time,” Jones says.

Almonte’s Canadian Olympian Periane Jones

“Running for Council” rises to the challenge The Team Challenge for this year’s Scotiabank Mississippi Mills River Walk & Run heated up recently, and not just because of the steamy summer weather. Town Councillors Jane Torrance and Amanda Pulker-Mok turned up at the Hospital on Thursday, Aug. 4 to do some practise laps for the Saturday, Sept. 10 Hospital fundraiser only to find Hospital Chair Cindy Hobbs and Foundation Chair Art Solomonian out practising too.

Teams entered in the Bean Cars Team Challenge include: Body Poets Massage Therapy Rehab Regenerators Foundation Fun-Raisers Board Trail Blazers Team Breary Uncorked

Perhaps it was the excitement of the Olympic Games but a competitive spirit quickly gripped the group. So much so that it resulted in the Board Chairs challenging the Town Councillors to a walking, running, fund-raising showdown!

Councillors Pulker-Mok and Torrance were quick to take up the challenge. They both have had recent experience with the Hospital’s birthing unit, which benefits from proceeds raised through the annual fundraiser.

Pulker-Mok’s son Jayden was born at AGH in April as was Torrance’s granddaughter Grace.

“We’re fielding Running for Council Family & Friends Team that will put the Hospital and Foundation Board Teams to shame,” said a combative Pulker-Mok. “All Amanda and I have to do is look at her beautiful son and my adorable granddaughter and think about the care provided by our fantastic birthing unit, that’s all the 36 West Carleton Review - Thursday, August 18, 2016

Councillors Jane Torrance and Amanda Pulker-Mok racing AGH-FVM Board Chair Cindy Hobbs and AGH-FVM Foundation Board Chair Art Solomonian motivation we need to rise to this challenge!” added Torrance.

In its third year, the annual walk or run has routes for every level of participant including a 3k Family Route and 3, 5 & 10k timed routes. New this year, a Zombie Out-Run will see participants maneuvering thru a 3k route trying to avoid some unpleasant obstacles.

Running for Office Orchard View by the Mississippi Lulu Lemon Ottawa Get Your Mortar Running Ottawa Valley Family Health Team and more teams welcome!

“This event is all about having fun and raising funds to support our birthing unit and women’s health care, said Hospital Chair Hobbs. Anyone born in Almonte, or who makes use of our Hospital or Manor, or who simply recognizes that having quality health care close to home is worthy of our ongoing support should sign up and participate.”

“Our organizing committee has moved the starting line to behind the Hospital and Manor this year and put lots of fun activities in place for pre and post walkers, runners and those in attendance cheering participants on,” said Foundation Chair Solomonian. “Supporting the Hospital and Manor was all the motivation I needed but now to take on the Town Councillors makes it even more worthwhile.

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

Q: My friends and I have an idea for a business we want to carry on.

Should we have a partnership agreement?

The mere carrying on of a business with a view to make a profit with one or more other person is sufficient to create a partnership in law.

A partnership in Ontario is governed by the Partnerships Act. The Partnerships Act sets out a framework that governs the relationship between the partners to each other, and the partners and the public, but allows the partners wide latitude to structure their relationship the way that they determine by agreement among the partners. Absent a partnership agreement, the default provisions of the Partnerships Act govern.

For example, under the default provisions of the Partnerships Act: all the partners are entitled to share equally in the capital and profits of the business, and must contribute equally towards the losses; no partner may be expelled by majority vote; any partner may determine (terminate) the partnership at will by notice to the other partners. There are many other default provisions, and many matters not addressed by the Partnerships Act, that may surprise the unwary.

About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction.

We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

About J. Robert Allan Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

A Partnership Agreement allows the partners to determine what their rights and obligations are to each other. Typical provisions in a partnership agreement include obligations and entitlements for sharing profits (& losses) and capital, decision making, signing authority, admission and expulsion of partners, what happens in circumstances of partner incapacity, retirement or death and breakdown between the partners. Subject to certain provisions of the Partnerships Act that cannot be avoided, a partnership may be constructed as the partners desire, giving this form of business relationship extraordinary flexibility.

All partners of a partnership are jointly liable with each other for all debts of the partnership. A partnership has no separate legal existence from the partners and the partners do not enjoy limited liability as do shareholders of a corporation. While partnerships are useful in the right circumstances, it is prudent to determine before you start business if a partnership is the right business vehicle, and if it is, the advisability of a partnership agreement.

ADVERTORIAL

Helping to power the revolution in cancer research Written by: Andrea Douglas In 2008, the inaugural year ofTHE RIDE (formerly Ride the Rideau), Gary Milks joined his co-workers the Brick Peddlers from Merkley Supply and hopped on his bike for a 100km ride for this important cancer fundraiser.

It was tough going. A week before the ride he had injured his shoulder while playing hockey. By the 85 km mark, he couldn’t feel his arm. Massage personnel en route jumped in and helped alleviate some of the pain and he was able to finish – barely.

In year two, Gary decided to take a pass on the actual biking, but not on THE RIDE. Since then, he has been working as part of the weekend set up crew.The funny thing is this job is more work than actually riding.

But more than the pride of working on such an incredible event, for Gary, it’s about the personal stories of cancer all around him that drive his passion for volunteering forThe Ottawa Hospital.

That first year of the event, Gary had lost a neighbour, a young mother, to breast cancer. Pancreatic cancer claimed the life of a cherished aunt. And this past December, he lost eight family members to cancer.

“It touches everybody,” he says. And it’s why he volunteers faithfully.

Because he wants to give back and he wants to see this terrible disease beaten.

“The good thing physically about the bike ride is that after four or five hours you’re done,” he chuckles.

“But on the operations crew, the work starts by 6 am and doesn’t finish until 10 pm.”

Whether it’s driving the big trucks, or setting up and tearing down the course, or dropping off water and oranges at the feed stations, he gets a good feeling from being involved with the event.

As the IT manager for Merkley Supply, a proud sponsor ofTHE RIDE, Gary wouldn’t dream of missing this event. It’s the most successful one-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just six years, it’s raised more than $10 million for cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital.

And was he disappointed when torrential rains meantThe Ride was called off last fall?

He says the Merkley office is covered with pictures and plaques of the Brick 40 West Carleton Review - Thursday, August 18, 2016

Peddlers from year to year.

And that daily reminder of what this event can accomplish instills in him a real sense of pride.

“Sure, I was sorry it didn’t happen,” he says, “But the money was still raised.

And that’s really what it’s all about.”

Mick Armitage to retire after long, enjoyable musical career Jeff Maguire

West Carleton favourite Mick Armitage has always loved the drums.

The Ottawa-born musician, who grew up in the west Quebec town of Shawville, was heavily influenced by the British rock and roll bands that invaded North America in the 1960s.

His interest soon focused on the drums and those who played them including Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles’ Ringo Starr.

“I liked the Beatles, of course.

But I love the Stones. There’s an edge to their music that appeals to me,” Armitage says, quickly adding that the English band must be good. “It’s been over 50 years and the Stones are still touring,” he notes.

Armitage has never been a fulltime musician. But after more than three decades of performing he has certainly made a major mark in the music business in Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley and west Quebec.

Since 1997 he has led the band that carries his own name. The Mick Armitage Band is popular in concert, at special events and fall fairs across the region.

“We’re Nepean-based, but Val-

SUBMITTED

Mick Armitage (centre) is surrounded by his long-time bandmates and friends, from left, Bruce Baker, Grant Tomkinson, Al Tambay and the Reverend Al Bragg. After decades pleasing audiences in Ottawa, eastern Ontario and west Quebec, the Mick Armitage Band will play their last concert together early next year. Armitage, who is retiring from the music business, says “you have to know when to stop.”

ley bred,” he observes.

Now, after performing regularly since the early 1980s, Armitage is retiring from the music business.

“I guess it’s really a case of turning a page. I don’t feel I have anything else I want to accomplish in this business,” he explains.

“I’m 68 and honestly, how many times can you play the fall fair circuit,” he chuckles.

“Don’t get me wrong – I’ve loved all of it. But you have to know when to stop.”

Armitage insists this is his last full year, despite the fact his band will get back together for one concert early in 2017.

“I always honour my commitments. We were booked to play the 2017 Valentine’s Charity Ball (in Ottawa in February) two years ago.

“But after nearly 35 years of performing regularly, we (current group) will disband in 2016.”

This year they remain on the fall fair circuit. They’ll be at the Shawville Fair in Armitage’s adopted home town on Sunday, Sept. 4 and they open for the popular band Chilliwack at the Richmond Fair, in west Ottawa, on Friday night, Sept. 16.

See GRAND page 42

Grand finale concert, reunion to be held in Carp Nov. 5 Continued from page 41

“It will be nice to open for a band that is older than us,” Armitage quips.

As for Shawville, he and his band are a fixture at the annual agricultural fair and exhibition.

“It (Shawville Fair) is the best fair anywhere. This will mark the 16th year in a row we’ve played there. I want to thank Elwyn Lang and the Pontiac Agricultural Society for their support over the years,” he says.

The performance Armitage calls “our grand finale” will take place in the Carp Agricultural Hall in the West Carleton section of rural west Ottawa on Saturday, Nov. 5.

“There’s going to be a set by the old ‘Racoons on Ice’ (his original band which began playing in the 1980s). The set will include Roger Plant from Carleton Place (now living in British Columbia), David Babineau and Robbie Dontigny, both from Arnprior, Bruce Baker from Stittsville and me.

“There will be a few special guests playing that night. Among them will be world champion fiddle player Louis Schryer. So I hope to see all my friends and acquaintance in Carp in November,”

Armitage says. “It will be a great party. I hope you can all attend!”

Carp and West Carleton are near and dear to the long-time musician and concert promoter.

“My Dad (Roly Armitage) is the former mayor of West Carleton and he’s much better known than I am,” he says flashing a broad grin.

Besides being the ex-mayor of the district, the elder Armitage is perhaps best known for his career as a veterinarian in both the Pontiac region of Quebec and the Ottawa area.

“Dad has delivered a lot of calves and foals and saved a lot of pets over the years,” his son outlines.

“He’ll be 92 on his next birthday and he’s still going strong. He is still in the horse racing business.”

Besides his long career as a vet, followed by a tenure in municipal politics as a councillor, mayor and regional council member, Roly Armitage is a decorated Second World War veteran. He has also served as general manager of Rideau-Carleton Raceway in Ottawa and general manager of Carp Airport.

“My father has had a truly in-

credible life,” Mick says proudly.

Armitage credits his current and past bandmates with keeping him in the music business for so long.

“I’ve made so many life-long friends along the way. And the bands I’ve played with are all long-standing ones.”

As for the Mick Armitage Band he takes no special credit.

“Everyone is important in this group. After I split with Racoons on Ice (in 1997), I decided it was time to take control of my own life. I immediately started this band.

“A very wise musician once told me that every band needs a leader and I hope I have been that all these years.

“I think it’s true. Look at ‘Ambush’ (another long-standing area band). Mark McDonell is the acknowledged leader.

He has been a great role model for me.”

Armitage traces his musical interest back to the 1960s and his teen years in Shawville. “I started playing music there in the early `60s and performed for nearly five years, until about 1969.”

In 1983 he was living in Edmonton, where he worked for Hy’s

of Canada managing a nightclub and restaurant for the hospitality chain.

“A friend from Ottawa called to say he was starting a band and wanted me on the drums. I was lonely and within six months I had moved back here.”

Following his return to the capital he and Rick Ponitoski, along with the late Brad Summerfield and Rocky Bertrand (also deceased) began practicing together.

RACOONS ON ICE

The four musicians merged as Racoons on Ice. Armitage himself borrowed the name from the popular television show of the time, hosted by Kevin Gillis.

“Our very first job was at the old Madawaska Hotel in Arnprior. We opened for a great local band of that era called Jude.”

Armitage says Racoons on Ice were soon much in demand!

“Within a few years we were doing up to 50 gigs a year. One December we did 17 shows. We performed six times in Mexico and we even taped a CTV show on location at Los Angeles Locos Resort in Manzanillo (on Mexico’s Pacific coast). Local favourites Delmer

and Cecil and Gail Gavan were with us for that show,” he explains.

“That show was aired nationally a few times.

“We also recorded one cassette and a few lives shows during the period I was performing, promoting and booking the `Coons. I was also the solo roadie until we could find a lad who was willing to endure the long hours, working for peanuts,” Armitage observes.

Racoons on Ice also won the ‘Share CHEZ Contest’ (run by the Ottawa radio station) and released a song Armitage co-wrote with Steve Wheeler entitled ‘Get Out to Work’.

He says conflicts within the band resulted in him being asked to step down.

“They say ‘It’s an ill wind that blows no good’ and that’s how it was in this case. I formed my own band.”

The Mick Armitage Band began by playing in small bars. Very quickly they emerged as a force in the Ottawa Valley and West Quebec and secured bookings at dances, shows and fairs across the region. The first foursome included Armitage, Plant, Baker and Tiger Tanner from Shawville.

Tour to Ireland one of Armitage’s favourite musical trips Continued from page 42

“Within a year we added Al Bragg from Kanata – the Reverend – on pedal steel and piano and Grant Tomkinson from Westmeath on bass. Along with Roger, we became the nucleus of the band.” Bragg is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.

“Roger moved to B.C. a few years ago and another great Ottawa talent, Al Tambay (guitar and vocals) stepped in. We’ve been rockin’ together ever since!”

He says the five have formed close bonds. “Grant, Bruce, Al and the Reverend – we’re like brothers. I could not have hoped for better friends and musicians to work with.”

Over the years the Mick Armit-

age Band has played large venues including the Chateau Laurier and all the major Ottawa hotels as well as the Shaw Centre, Ottawa and Gatineau’s many museums, the Sheraton Centre in Montreal, Ottawa SuperEx, Canadian Tire Centre and at the headquarters and social events sponsored by many of Ottawa’s major high-tech firms and corporations.

“We’ve played so many weddings that we are now performing at the weddings of the children of couples we played for years ago,” he laughs.

The band has opened for Johnny Reid, Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, George Canyon, Terri Clark, the Stampeders and many others.

“The Shawville Fair with Stompin’ Tom (Connors) will al-

ways be a fun and crazy memory from my musical history.”

One of Armitage’s favourite times was the band’s 2006 trip to Dublin, Ireland.

“Along with 50 friends we travelled to Ireland and performed at Dublin and Blessington to very enthusiastic crowds. It was the highlight of my musical career,” he states.

“Kissing the Blarney Stone and meeting Andrew Strong (the Irish musician) who starred in the Commitments (1991 cult film classic) are among my memories from that trip.”

On July 7 the band performed at the City of Ottawa ‘Concert in the Park’ at Fitzroy Harbour Provincial Park.

They have been part of the se-

ries several times over the years in Fitzroy and Stittsville.

“There were 400 people there and it was a lot of fun. I pulled one eight-year-old lad up on stage and he was dancing away.

“I asked him what he wanted us to play and he said, ‘Do you know Bat out of Hell (the classic 1977 release by Meat Loaf). I guess he must have been listening to his Mom’s CDs,” he laughs.

Now it is time for Armitage to step aside and make room for the area’s up and coming musical talent. One group he feels will go far is Ottawa’s Ramblin’ Valley Band.

“They are excellent,” he stresses.

“Due to some health issues – a bad back and poor hearing – it’s time to retire from running the roads. With great difficulty it’s

time to call it a day.

“We’ve worn out about 15 roadies over the years. The timing is good because our current roadie, Lorenzo Bracci, graduates from University of Ottawa this year,” he explains.

“I want to thank my bandmates, my family and friends and all the great people who have supported me and the band over the years.

“As the Stones said, ‘It’s only rock and roll – but I like it.’”

Tickets for the Armitage band’s grand finale in Carp Nov. 5 are available by email at: mickarmitage@sympatico.ca or by calling 613-859-7740. Some proceeds from the show will go to the Carp Agricultural Society and the Constance Bay Royal Canadian Legion branch.

Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual.

It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County.

But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas.

Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service.

The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth to that rumour.

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself.

The bride was never consulted

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs.

Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown.

I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch.

The day finally arrived, and all

Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day.

I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too!

NO REHEARSAL

A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right.

I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps!

My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and

waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over.

The dress became my “going to church dress,” but the shoes would never touch my feet again.

One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina.

Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.

hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet.

An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way.

I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that.

He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep.

Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church.

The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out.

No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over.

It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he will keeping an eye on a new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his community on Iber Road.

Qadri, who is chair of Ottawa’s health board, has publicly opposed the facility, saying he’s not comfortable with its location – within walking distance of four schools.

The owner also didn’t go through the proper channels with the city, according to Qadri, adding he will be putting pressure on police to check the facility out once it opens.

The facility looks like a medical clinic and there’s a three stage screening process before clients are even allowed in the dispensary.

Potential customers have to bring a prescription from their doctor as well as government issued identification before setting up a patient profile to access the array of marijuana-derived products.

The owner, Franco Vigile, said the facility, one of two he has opened in the west end, is filling a need.

Right now, doctors prescribe medical marijuana and the product is shipped from licensed providers – such as Tweed in Smiths Falls.

Margaret Hofsink, a client who suffers from multiple sclerosis, uses marijuana to treat muscle spasm, anxiety, depression and fatigue.

Hofsink said the strain and method of delivery vary throughout the day depending on her needs.

She smokes a high cannabidiol strain in the morning that’s better for inflammation and uses oil and gel caps during the day for pain management. In the evening to increase her appetite and help her sleep, Hofsink said she uses a strain with a higher amount of THC. Thanks to the Carling Avenue Magna Terra clinic – which is already operating – she said she’s able to work with staff on tailoring her medicine so she’s using less.

Before she came to Magna Terra last month, she said she had to rely on an imperfect mailing system.

The product didn’t always arrive on time and it wasn’t always good quality.

Hofsink said allowing Snoop Dogg to acquire part of Tweed now means she unwanted advertising emails about pop culture events. “I am in it for the medication, not the culture,� she said.

With easy access to the medicine she needs, Hofsink said she has a new lease on life.

It’s those kinds of people Vigile is trying to help, he said, adding that’s why he’s willing to put his neck on the line in advance of licensing. “Imagine having cancer and having to wait for your medicine to come in the mail,� the Algonquin grad said.

Qadri stresses that the facility in Stittsville, which starts its service in early August, will be operating illegally.

He said aside from the lack of federal licensing, the area is not zoned for retail.

Qadri said he asked Vigile to hold a public consultation and seek the proper zoning amendments. “I can’t speak to why he didn’t do that,�

Qadri said.

Vigile held an open house for residents at the new Stittsville location on Aug. 2 and 3, but that’s not good enough, Qadri said. “People who are going to visit the facility are likely already in favour,� Qadri said. “An open house in an alternative location would have a different mix of perspectives.�

VILLAGE ASSOCIATION

Stittsville Village Community Association president Tanya Hein said while the community association hasn’t had an official meeting since the opening of the facility was made public, she’s heard opinions on both sides of the issue. “From my perspective, I think they should wait to operate until they can do so legally,� she said, adding she isn’t concerned about school children accessing the dispensary. “Kids who want it, will find a way to get pot,� she said.

But Qadri insisted no matter how good the security is, there’s a chance it could be breached. He used the example of adults being approached by minors outside of liquor stores asking them to buy alcohol. “That could happen there,� he said.

But Vigile maintains the concerns are unfounded.

Each customer has an electronic profile, that tracks their prescriptions and the strains they’ve purchased in the past.

While he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey area, he said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana.

In the meantime, he will fill the gap.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, whose ward houses the other Magna Terra facility on Carling Avenue, said there has been little to no communication to his often since the dispensary opened. “I imagine its location has something to do with that,� he wrote in an email. “Carling is an arterial main street and a significant distance from the kinds of facilities and institutions that people might have concerns about in relation to anything related to drugs.�

Fair fun It was a rock’n sock’em good time at the Arnprior fair on Thursday, Aug. 11 with the demolition derby a smashing success. Unfortunately, the fair’s second derby on Saturday was washed out by the rain and will be rescheduled for sometime in September or early October. Right, there were a number of animals at the petting zoo area, which was fun for people of all ages, especially the special needs visitors, who were welcomed at the fair last Friday. There will be plenty of animals at the Carp Fair Sept. 22-25 with several horse events as well as sheep, cattle, swine and dog shows.

Shawville Fair celebrates 160 years Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

It’s not too late to consider the Shawville Fair as a Labour Day weekend excursion. The 160th edition of the fair is set to take place from Sept. 1 to 5.

Weekend passes for the Pontiac Agricultural Society event are available until Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 9 p.m.

“One price admission makes it an affordable event,” said the society’s president Sara Knox. They can be purchased online - see shawvillefair. ca for more information – or at the society’s office.

The society and countless volunteers allow the Shawville Fair to hit the milestone of 160 years.

There have been many memorable moments to recount, but one that still get talked about is when Stompin’ Tom Connors made an appearance in 2005.

It is in the record books as the biggest night in the fair’s history with estimates of 30,000 to 40,000 people being in attendance for just that day.

It was definitely a crowd to remember as the town’s population doesn’t even hit 2,000. The fair tends to average 30,000 to 40,000 people for the entire five-day week-

end.

This year, crowds can take in musical headliners such as Kim Mitchell (Friday), Brett Kissel (Saturday) and Gord Bamford (Sunday). Valley bands Ambush, Mick Armitage Band and Phil Denault will be showcased throughout the weekend.

It will probably be the final appearance for the Mick Armitage Band members at the fair as they announced their retirement for February 2017.

The gates open on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 4 p.m. The midway is once again run by Beauce Carnaval for the weekend. The traditional kick-off event is the popular truck and tractor pull at 7 p.m. and the official opening ceremony is set for 7:30 p.m.

There will also the exhibits to view, heavy horse and Holstein shows to watch, and demonstrations of sheep-shearing, bee-keeping and butter-making.

Fairgoers can also check out performances by Little Ray’s Reptiles, West Coast Lumberjack Shows and the award-winning ArnpriorMcNab Pipes and Drums. The demolition derby is on the Labour Day Monday.

There is plenty more throughout SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND the weekend in line with the event’s One of the rides that Beauce Carnaval might bring to the Shawville Fair gives fairgoers a swinging time. agricultural roots.

CATION

Plum gelato great alternative to traditional ice cream Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream.

The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6 Ingredients: 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Italian Prune Plums 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Honey Custard: 1 egg 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half-and-half cream 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk 2 tbsp (25 mL) honey Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Cut each plum in half, but not all the way through and remove pit. Place plums cut side up in prepared pan (they will be snug). Drizzle with honey. Roast in 425ºF (220ºC) oven until very soft, darker in colour and caramelized on the bottom, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth.

Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preparation instructions Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved.

Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of metal spoon, about 8 minutes.

Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight.

Gently whisk plum purée into custard.

Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Freeze in covered container.

For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Mayor’s Report OTTAWA WELCOMES YOUNG TALENT FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR ONE YOUNG WORLD SUMMIT By: Mayor Jim Watson

Last fall, I had the pleasure of attending the One Young World Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, where I received the Summit’s “baton”from the Governor of the Bangkok’s Metropolitan Authority, confirming Ottawa as host of One Young World 2016. The baton is proudly displayed at City Hall, until it is time for me to relay it to the 2017 host city.

The One Young World Summit is the largest gathering of nations behind the Summer Olympic Games, designed to bring together young people from across the globe to create lasting, meaningful relationships that empower them to create positive change at home and abroad.

Since its inception in 2009, One Young World has hosted 7,300 delegates between the ages of 18 and 30, with a further 1,300 expected from 196 countries for the 2016 Summit in Ottawa.

The fair is making a video of a number of local volunteers which will be put out soon on social media to help promote the fair. Below, Danielle Bainton, Kim Robson, Robin Fraser and Paige Watson get in on the fun before the bingo starts.

The annual One Young World Summit brings together the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations. Delegates to the Summit network with peers from across all spectrums of private industry, the public sector and our world. They will debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces. No youth led movement outside of the Olympic Games represents as many nationalities as the One Young World Summit.

As an innovative, vibrant and welcoming city, I am proud to greet these young future leaders to our Nation’s Capital this fall. While in Ottawa, they will also have the opportunity to hear and be heard by talented Counsellors, such as former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chef Jamie Oliver and Cher, who will attend the Summit in order to mentor these talented youth.

Hopeful delegates from around the world - and Ottawa of course – can still apply to attend by submitting an online application: www.oneyoungworld.com/attend-summit-2016.

Cardel is no stranger to this haven on the Mississippi. Its Stonewater Bay community was a big hit with buyers looking to embrace an executive riverside lifestyle. Now, with the arrival of Miller’s Crossing, even more families can enjoy the tranquil charm of Carleton Place, surrounded by urban conveniences. Featuring brand new plans exclusive to this special community, Miller’s Crossing will offer a range of affordable options for buyers new to the area or looking to move within a town they already love.

Regardless of the style they choose – a single-family home, townhome or a condo (coming soon) – Miller’s Crossing buyers will find lower prices than those for comparable homes in nearby communities like Kanata or Stittsville, without sacrificing a convenient commute or neighbourhood charm. The community’s location is sure to be popular with DND employees moving to the new Kanata HQ, just a short drive from home.

Cardel’s sales centre will open on August 22 at noon at Unit 1C, 515 McNeely Ave., next to Starbucks in the commercial park at McNeely and Highway 7. For sales centre hours and to register for updates, visit www.cardelhomes.com

BONUS ROOM

Miller’s Crossing will launch with 15 new single-family floorplans, expected to start in the low $400s. Plans include four bungalow designs plus a variety of two-storey layouts available on two lot sizes, with several elevation styles to choose from, including Canadiana, contemporary and traditional exteriors. Each home style is designed to complement the nature-draped surroundings and contribute to attractive neighbourhood streetscapes.

For those looking to embrace the easy life, Cardel’s townhomes will combine low-maintenance convenience and affordability. With seven floorplans to choose from, townhomes in Miller’s Crossing include high specification standards and come loaded with features – a great way to enjoy Cardel craftsmanship at a low price point.

Surrounded by nature, including parks, a pond and a community centre, Miller’s Crossing is located adjacent to greenspace protected from future development. Residents can take advantage of nearby shopping within walking distance, including Canadian Tire, Starbucks, Walmart, Tim Hortons and Independent Grocer. With its full calendar of local events and year-round recreation opportunities, Carleton Place has a sense of community all its own.

WHEN LIFE BECOMES AN ART WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT AN ELEGANT, MODERN BUILDING THAT COMBINES LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS, A BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND A MAGNIFICENT ART GALLERY – ALL IN AN IDEAL SETTING IN DOWNTOWN OTTAWA? THAT’S WHAT DEVMCGILL IS OFFERING, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OTTAWA ART GALLERY, THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA AND GROUPE GERMAIN. LOVERS OF CULTURE AS WELL AS SEEKERS OF A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE IN THE HEART OF URBAN HUSTLE WILL BE DELIGHTED. DevMcGill, which has been crowned Entrepreneur of the Year and is the winner of the prestigious Montréal Architectural Heritage Award, is a key real estate promoter in Canada. The Arthaus project combines its unmatched savoir-faire and standout audacity.

For the first time in Canada, a residential tower will combine luxury condominiums, an art gallery and a boutique hotel. Residents are immersed in culture in the heart of Ottawa.

SUMPTUOUS CONDOMINIUMS The 89 condos located between the 15th and 23rd floors (including four penthouses) offer a breathtaking panorama of Ottawa and the surrounding area, no matter where the apartments are located.

On the east are vistas of trees, houses and historic buildings, as well as University of Ottawa campus; on the west, the view of downtown, Parliament and its magical evening spectacles is unbeatable; and finally, on the north the hills surrounding the Ottawa Valley

to the north of Gatineau rise proudly on the horizon.

All the condos have at least one bedroom, a living room, a dining room and a bathroom (two in the two-bedroom units) with glassed-in showers and rainshower showerheads. They also have an elegant open-plan kitchen, the work of Toronto designer U31, with built-in European appliances. Two condominiums can be joined together to provide three bedrooms.

The penthouses have two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room (convenient for guest!), along with a gas stove in a kitchen and an outdoor gas fitting that makes barbecuing easier. A gas fireplace can also be installed.

In order to personalize the décor to their own tastes, owners are invited to chose from a range of top-end finishes selected by famous designers. Besides the choice of materials, they get expert advice on how to configure and personalize their space. On request, an ultramodern home automation system can be installed in the penthouses to control lighting, music and the alarm system.

Another characteristic of these condominiums: exceptional lighting, featuring immense bay windows and ceilings 9 to 10 feet high (14 in the penthouses).

Dog celebrates 19th birthday, owners to submit to Guinness World Records Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Likely one of the oldest living dog in Kanata, and quite possibly one of the most senior living canines in the world, celebrated his 19th birthday on Aug. 10.

The family originally thought their pooch was celebrating the big two-oh this year, but found an error on his Canadian veterinary records.

Floquinho (pronounced flockeen-io) was born in Brazil on Aug. 10, 1997, making him about 133 years old in human years.

The toy poodle’s name in English translates to Little Snowflake, said his human mom Fatima Machado.

When the family located Floquinho’s original birth and vaccination files from Brazil to submit to Guinness World Records, Machado said they discovered the mistake.

She was planning to submit his birth and vaccine records to Guinness following Floquinho’s 20th birthday to see where he stands on the list of verified oldest living dogs.

An Australian cattle-dog named Bluey holds the world record for oldest dog, having lived for 29 years, five months, according to online records on Guinness World Records.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Floquinho celebrates his 19th birthday on Aug. 10. His vet records will be submitted to Guinness World Records to see where he lands on the list of oldest living dogs. dia, names 20 dogs that lived more than two decades.

“We will submit the documents anyways, just to see what they respond,” said Machado.

Three dogs older than 19 but younger than 20 were also listed.

Machado remembers the day Floquinho joined her family. She and

her husband Wilson went to a local vet to pick out a dog for their daughter Ana’s sixth birthday.

“I picked him up and held him and he was really calm and quiet and I said, ‘Yeah, it’s you,’” said Machado.

“When she saw (her gift) was a little dog she was so happy.”

There was no question about leaving him in Brazil when the family immigrated to Canada in 2001. Floquinho was five years old when he made the trip.

“He loved the snow,” said Machado, adding he was an active dog always looking to play. Now he prefers naps to chasing balls.

Floquinho has been given a clean bill of health with no disease from his veterinarian, she said, adding he does have tremors due to his age and his back legs are weak.

“The most important (thing) is to have him healthy,” Machado said, adding she is sometimes asked if the dog is suffering.

To that she says, “Sometimes we see he has some pain in the legs. I’d prefer God takes him in a natural way so I don’t have to decide his fate.”

Her husband Wilson made him a walking contraption that helps him move about, and a makeshift bench allows him to sit while he eats.

“He loves that dog,” said Machado, adding the family will not own another canine. “It’s hard when you get attached – each one has their own personality, their own traits. They’re not replaceable.”

Floquinho no longer goes on walks but Machado carries him into the family’s backyard in Kanata Lakes to sit in the garden. He often gets up three to four times a night, so she will sleep on the couch to be near him.

“We try to give him the best quality of life,” she said, adding she credits “a lot of care, patience, love, cleanliness and attention,” to his long life.

Ottawa’s environmental efforts praised, criticized Ottawa receives a mixed grade on environmental issues in the Community Foundation of Ottawa’s latest Ottawa Insights report.

Providing indicators in the areas of energy and climate, land use and ecology, transportation, and water, waste and sewage, the newly released ‘theme’ offers fresh insights into how well the city is performing in relation to its environment and sustainability.

The report was released at a public event in Ottawa in partnership with Ecology Ottawa and Sustainable Eastern Ontario.

A small sampling of facts from the indicators in the report include: Ottawa is getting steadily warmer. Between 1890 and 2010 the city experienced an overall mean temperature increase of 1.7

degrees Celsius.

Only one per cent of waterways in Ottawa’s agricultural areas meet the recommended vegetative buffer to protect water quality and habitat.

Local household water consumption has declined significantly since 2007.

Discharges of untreated sewage to the Ottawa and Rideau Rivers have also dropped.

In a comparison of cities in 17 countries between 2010 and 2015, Ottawa had the third highest growth rate in cycling.

Ottawa has made little direct progress, however, in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions – 40 per cent of which are associated with transportation.

“These indicators demonstrate both prog-

ress in some areas, along with a number of areas that require serious attention and action,” said Community Foundation of Ottawa CEO Marco Pagani.

“By identifying both the problem areas and those that deserve celebration, we hope to contribute to informed discourse among decision-makers, influencers and the general public in order to support strategic action for the long-term good and sustainability of our environment.”

The Ottawa Insights community knowledge centre is the foundation’s most recent public initiative designed to empower Ottawa citizens to take informed action to create positive, systemic and sustainable change in their community.

It is a dynamic, web-based knowledge centre that brings together and connects key information and intelligence on local status, trends and conditions affecting quality of life in Ottawa.

Since its initial launch in April, Ottawa Insights has presented a suite of more than 60 indicators related to the themes of basic needs and standard of living, economy and employment, health and wellness, and now environment and sustainability.

The Community Foundation of Ottawa will continue to present comprehensive information and data over the coming months in the areas of arts and culture, education and learning, and community and belonging.

Visit www.ottawainsights.ca for more on the report. For more information about the Community Foundation of Ottawa, visit www.cfo-fco.ca.

Riding at Dunrobin farm a real confidence booster The Ottawa Carleton Riding Association for persons with developmental disabilities (OCAPDD) is looking forward to another horse riding program this fall in West Carleton.

The riders and volunteers wrapped up last spring’s program in June at Little Rock Farm in Dunrobin.

The OCAPDD members joined with the volunteers to enjoy a barbecue and a short ride before the rain set in.

Fran McLachlan of Little Rock Farm issued a special thanks to Maria Beckstead, who gave a speech, thanking everyone who gave their time to make this such a meaningful experience.

The riders had a little fun in the rider challenge ring, testing their eye-hand coordination, developing confidence and building trust.

“Great job everyone,” said McLachlan.

“See you in September.”

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 Everyone recognizes your ambition this week, Aries. Channel your energy constructively and don’t be ashamed to pursue your goals so strongly.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, tackle some slow and steady work this week rather than trying to be innovative or unique. There will be a time to innovate later on. Right now you need to prove yourself.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are in the mood to get started on something new over the next few days. Think about some tasks you have been putting off and develop a plan to address them.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take an intellectual approach to solving a problem that has been bothering you for quite some time. Ask a friend for advice if you find you need some help.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, approaching someone who has not done his or her share of the work can be difficult. Tread gently because this person may have been distracted by something more pressing.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Your big ideas are highly valued, Virgo. Let others know what you are thinking and you may find that even more people are receptive to your ideas than you initially thought.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, things have been going your way for some time now. It’s exciting waiting for whatever is just around the corner. This unanticipated good fortune is just what you need.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Open yourself up to a new way of thinking, Scorpio. While your way of doing things may be right most of the time, adopting a fresh perspective may help you see things more clearly.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try doing something on the spur of the moment. Spotaneity may give you a rush that you may not have felt in some time. This could be just the excitement you need right now.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Try to meet some new people, Capricorn. Add to your collection of networking contacts, which will help further both your professional and personal lives.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, relax when a stressful situation presents itself. Add some humor to the situation so you and others can handle it in the most positive way possible.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if others are uninterested in being social, find creative ways to enjoy some alone time. This may include music or artwork.
