This has been a great move for us,” .El-Chantiry said. “It’s been a great pleasure to work with Karen (McCrimmon) these last few years, and with the mayor for the last several years.” The spirit of collaboration and working together was a key talking point at the announcement. For this project the federal government is spending $1.55 million, the City of Ottawa chipping in $1 million and the province providing $755,000. See WATER, page 14

Tournament raises $21,500 SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A total of $21,500 was raised at the 14th annual Dunrobin Meat and Grocery golf tournament on Aug. 26. Sunny, warm weather prevailed at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club, as 260 golfers participated in the tournament. They were joined by 30 others for the following dinner. The funds raised are being donated to the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre in loving memory of Jean Laughlin. Dunrobin Meat and Grocery would like to thank all those involved in helping make this year’s tournament such a success. This includes all those who sponsored, played, volunteered or helped in other ways. Thank you all so much. The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre at the General Campus is the only cancer centre in the region that delivers all aspects of treatment options. More than 80 per cent of all cancer-related surgeries take place at the Ottawa Hospital. The hospital also offers chemotherapy to patients at satellite locations, providing critical care conveniently close to the patients’ homes. The satellite sites are in the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital, at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and at the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital. The Ottawa Hospital sees over 200,000 cancer visits a year. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer can be very difficult for those affected and their families. The Psychosocial Oncology Program at the Ottawa Hospital was established to provide patients with the support needed to help them cope with the many challenges associated with cancer and its treatment. The approach to care is holistic and aims to provide a patient with emotional, psychological, social, practical and rehabilitation support. The services are confidential and can be provided individually or in a group setting.

VIP competition at Ottawa Carleton plowing match BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Less than 24 hours before, it had been a field of crops. But at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 25, the crops had been harvested and the field at the corner of Moodie Drive and Bankfield Road near Twin Elm in south Nepean had become the site of the VIP plowing competition, the opening event for the 2017 Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s AssociaJohn Curry/Metroland tion annual plowing match.

City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson seems to be giving himself a celebratory fist pump as he looks back on his plowing as he participates in the VIP plowing competition at the Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match at Twin Elm near Richmond on Friday, Aug. 25.
or Jim Watson, Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and several Ottawa city councilors were on hand to demonstrate their prowess at the wheel of a tractor while plowing a couple of furrows in this VIP competition. Others involved in this VIP plowing competition included some members of the media as well as political candidates such as former Carleton federal Liberal candidate Chris Rodgers and current Carleton provincial Conservative candidate Goldie Ghamari. Ottawa city councillors who participated in this VIP plowing competition included West Carleton-March’s Eli El-Chantiry, Cumberland’s Stephen Blais, Osgoode’s George Darouze and Gloucester-South Nepean’s Michael Qaqish. One notable happening as the dignitaries prepared to plow was the choice of tractor which Mayor Watson made for his plowing. He was given his choice of the three tractors available — a red Massey Harris, an orange Kubota and a blue New Holland. Well, the mayor, a former provincial Liberal cabinet minister, opted for the blue New Holland and not as might be expected the red tractors.

Red, traditionally, is the colour of the Liberal Party while blue is associated with Conservatives. But the mayor climbed aboard the blue New Holland and after a few brief instructions from tractor owner and experienced plowman Allen Hills of Ashton, the mayor did his turn driving the tractor and plowing a couple of furrows, one up part of the field and then one back down to the start line. The plowing efforts of the mayor, along with those of each of the VIP plowers, were marked with a sign so that everyone could see how their favourite VIP did. The actual Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s plowing match took place at this same site the following day, Saturday, Aug. 26 where competitors from across Ottawa Carleton plowed against one another, trying to gain a spot to plow at the upcoming International Plowing Match and Rural Expo being held in Huron County this September. Plowers must plow at local matches such as this Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association event in order to be able to compete at the International Plowing Match. This Ottawa Carleton plowing match is hosted by the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association which celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2014. Plowing matches provide an opportunity for farmers to display their skills in plowing and to teach the importance of soil conservation. The plow is one of the oldest tillage tools known. It remains one of the most valuable tillage tools in agriculture as it can transform land into a productive seedbed. Plowing helps soil by preparing a seedbed with a top layer of soil that can easily surround the newly planted seed and encourage germination, can help control weeds, can assist in degradation of mulch into organic matter, thus increasing water retention and can improve soil aeration.

We must help Mother Nature
O
ne cost $3.5 million. One was free. One was spectacular, attracting 750,000 onlookers in Ottawa. The other was awesome, attracting millions in North America. One was manmade, the product of human technology. The other was Mother Nature-made, the result of this marvellous solar system of ours. We are referring to, on the one hand, La Machine, the French street theatre production featuring two huge streetwalking creatures, a horse-dragon and a giant spider. They were even given names — Long Ma and Kumo. It took 34 manipulators to guide this spider and dragon-horse through the streets of the Byward Market and beyond. Their four-day sojourn here in late July cost $3.5 million from the Ottawa 2017 coffers. And, on the other hand, there is the solar eclipse which captured the attention and imagination of not only Ottawa residents, but people all across North America on Monday, Aug. 21. It attracted widespread interest, being broadcast on television and certainly talked about in workplace and
home venues everywhere. You had folks making pinhole viewing devices and getting together with workplace buddies to experience the eclipse. Y ou had 5,000 flocking to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to latch onto a pair of safety solar glasses, allowing them to look directly at the eclipse or to peer through telescopes set up by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. To have two such spectacular happenings take place within weeks of each other has been a treat that may become the best remembered of the Canada 150 events taking place in Ottawa this year. One showed the ingenuity of man. T he other showed the ingenuity of Mother Nature. Going forward, we can only hope that the ingenuity of man as shown with Long Ma and Kumo will be deployed and used to save this incredible world of ours and allow Mother Nature to continue to amaze us on a daily basis, not just at times of eclipses. The planet is under stress these days due to human excesses and pollution. The resulting climate change has to be reversed or else.
No such thing as gifted students anymore
L
ast fall, parents in the OttawaCarleton District School Board were outraged when the board determined it may eliminate some gifted programming. In place of specialized classes — particularly at the primary level — it was determined that it would be more cost-effective to incorporate those identified early as gifted into the regular classroom with extra learning support teachers and programs. It was a political hot potato. Advocates of gifted programs expressed outrage at the decision, declaring that their young prodigies were not just intellectually, but socially disparate from their peers. It has been the predominant sentiment for decades that gifted children, as with others identified with special needs, thrive best in segregated classrooms with a curriculum that is independently tailored to their abilities.

What kind of message does it send to young children to pick them out from the pack at a young age and put them on a pedestal of learning next to their peers? The authors instead advocate for teaching in the classroom that regularly conditions and challenges all students to learn at their level of potential, which, short of cognitive impairment, is likely high. It’s difficult to say whether this will work in practice. But the last decade of brain research has flipped everything we know about learning on its head.

Borrowed items need to be returned to owners SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Many were generous and helpful during the flooding this past spring, not only with their time and money but also with equipment and floodrelated items. Many residents from across West Carleton and even beyond stepped forward and loaned equipment for the use of flooded residents and volunteer workers. This included providing dozens of waders, waterproof clothing, shovels, generators, gas and electric pumps, hoses and fans, among other things. These items were provided to flood victims or were used by volunteer workers. Many of these items had the lender’s name and telephone number on them. There were also other items which were purchased by the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA) and then loaned out. Now that the flooding has subsided and the reconstruct/rebuild phase is now underway in the area, those who lent equipment are looking to recover it. Unfortunately, due to the chaos and crisis conditions in the first few days of the flooding especially, records related to the borrowing of equipment and other items were not well kept and so it is not known who borrowed some of the items. A number of appeals for the return of the borrowed equipment have been made on Facebook pages but there still remain some major items that are outstanding and should be returned to their owners. The CBBCA is appealing to those with borrowed equipment to make arrangements to return the item or items to the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre (the Northwind Wireless and Fibe Centre) by calling 613-832-1050 and leaving a message to ensure that the centre is open when the item is being returned. The CBBCA will also pick up items if requested. If items are returned directly to the lender thanks to the name or telephone number being on the item, please let the CBBCA know that it has been returned. “Our concern is that those people who stepped forward and loaned equipment will be reluctant to do so in the future if they do not get their

Notice of Commencement Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process The Project As part of planning for Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station) approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility in the northwest quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road. The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex) • Support a Maintenance and Storage Facility for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits. The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive project, and is currently under construction as a BRT facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017.

Getting ready to welcome some special guests
T
his week the Farmer and I are preparing our spare rooms for two special guests on the farm. We will have two international students staying with us for the school year. In the past we have hosted students both short and long term from China, Spain, Colombia and Brazil. This year our students are coming all the way from Norway and Nigeria. We are one of dozens of host families in Leeds Grenville. Mina is a 17-year-old from a small town called Nittedal, which is 30 minutes from Oslo by train. She likes arts and crafts, outdoor activities, family gatherings and trips to the cottage. She is looking forward to experiencing what it is to be Canadian, and she hopes to see a game of hockey. I think we can help her out there. I’m happy to see she didn’t list a lot of computer activity on her list of favourite things because what is the point of visiting a new country if you never leave the computer room? Mina will not be overly shocked by a Canadian winter, coming from Norway where winters can be quite severe.
Maybe she will enjoy skating on the Rideau Canal. Rebecca is coming to Canada from Nigeria. I don’t have a lot of information on her yet, except that her real name is Oghenetga. I will have to get some help on that pronunciation. Of course with all of the turmoil being caused by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram in her home country, we are wondering what her life has been like. Our town Coun. Frank Onasanya also hails from Nigeria and he says he can tell by Rebecca’s family name “Idimi” that she likely comes from the west of the country. Most of the attacks by Boko Haram have reportedly been in the North-East, but you can never get the full story from a news report. We look forward to learning more about Rebecca and her life in Nigeria when she arrives this week. Part of the challenge when you are hosting international students is getting them out of the house and into some truly Canadian experiences. Particularly during the long, cold winter months, students are apt to
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife stay in their rooms streaming video and chatting with friends and family back home. We want them to get out and make new friends and do the things that local kids do while they are here. I remember some of the international students that came to North Grenville in the 1980s. It seems like they were here for longer than just the school year; they made such an impression. Vivi from Sweden was this tall, vivacious blond who laughingly refused to adopt the North American custom of wearing a sports bra while playing volleyball. Spectator attendance rose
significantly when Vivi was on the court. She had such a positive, effervescent spirit and a beaming smile. There was a little French girl named Claude from Belgium who rocked the small town of Kemptville with her fashion sense. She was quiet and perhaps a bit homesick as I think her English wasn’t very advanced and it left her feeling a bit left out. She made a small circle of good friends during her stay, however, and will be remembered for her smooth moves on the dance floor (along with her awesome collection of boots and

mini skirts). Carlos from Mexico came to stay one year and very quickly became another member of the Bryson family. Tall, dark and handsome, he was athletic, smart and very popular with all of us. My memories of the international students from my youth are what make me want to host students today. Of course whether you are hosting students from another country or dealing with your own teenagers, it can be a challenge to get them away from the screens and into real life. But that is, after all, what they came here for. To experience another culture, in all of its flavours and colours. I am still in touch with some of our past international guests on social media. It is my hope that we will remain connected in the future, so I can see where they go in life. And who knows? Maybe someday the Farmer and I will visit some of them in their natural habitat. w w w. t h e a c c i d e n t a l f a r m w i f e. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Ward 5 West Carleton-August New lights at Stonecrest School As school resumes next week, I want to remind drivers on Kinburn Side Road that new blinking lights and signs were installed at the end of June at Stonecrest Elementary School. When the lights are flashing, speed reduces to 60 km/hr. The reduced speed/flashing lights will occur at morning drop-off, during lunchtime and at day’s end. Be aware as well that vehicle owners can be fined from $400 - $2,000 and 6 demerit points, if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus. Please slow down, respect the rules of the road and help keep kids safe as they head back to school. Hazardous Waste Depots After the most recent City of Ottawa hazardous waste depot on August 20, I received feedback from residents about long lines and wait times. I followed up with City staff to make inquiries as to why there were backlog issues. Staff explained they experienced heavy traffic (over 2,400 vehicles) at the August 20 depot, and received very high volumes of material. Wait times did reach up to 30 minutes. The contractor did everything they could to process vehicles quickly, and more than 5 vehicles per minute were unloaded. Staff believes part of the issue this year is that we have had poor weather for 3 of the 4 depots held to date. There were two extremely rainy depot events, and another one was cut short due to lightning. I asked staff about the City of Ottawa possibly starting a permanent hazardous water depot program, or expanding the current program to have more than 8 depots each year. City staff does not recommend either option. Each of the 8 depots the city currently holds costs approximately $160,000. The city simply does not have the budget to add more. There are three more depots happening this year and they are listed on ottawa.ca. If you cannot attend, keep in mind that many retailers can assist in disposing of hazardous and/or electronic waste. For example: •
Electronics drop-off locations: www.recyclemyelectronics.ca/on/drop-offlocations/
•
Best Buy accepts electronics returns (contact store directly to inquire)
•
There are numerous locations for battery drop-offs including most home improvement stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, etc.), as well as City of Ottawa libraries and community centres
• www.makethedrop.ca/locator points to drop-off locations for items such as oil, anti-freeze, pressurized cylinders, etc. •
Lowes and Rona accept paints and coatings

Clean water is essential to that. The residents of Carp are going to see improved quality and taste at the completion of this project.” Mayor Watson shared an analogy of the importance of teamwork. “Negotiations are like a three-legged stool – you need all four legs for it to work perfectly, and that’s what we achieved here.” “This is good news for the rural areas,” ElChantiry told the West Carleton Review on Tuesday, Aug. 29. “To be honest, when we first applied for the funding, I wasn’t sure we were going to get it, so I am excited for the community of Carp this project is moving forward.” Construction for the upgrades, which includes a new structure, is expected to begin in spring of 2018.

Gas iron made Mother hot under the collar
I
t wasn’t like every other Saturday morning. Mother had loaded the Model T the night before for all her door-to-door deliveries in Renfrew that she did every week. But that Saturday was different. Mrs. Stewart, (we called her the ‘rich Mrs. Stewart’) had also ordered two dozen of Mother’s sticky buns with her usual order of eggs, butter and one fat chicken. That meant I would have to help Mother take the order to the kitchen door. This meant that I’d get another peek into the kitchen, which was almost as big as our whole house! Mother rapped gently, and the door was opened by Mrs. Stewart herself, and I could see she was ironing. But it wasn’t like our ironing board on the farm that she was using. This board had its own legs, not like ours, which was really only a rough board, wrapped in flannelette sheets, and when used was put on the backs of two chairs. And the irons had to be heated on the hot elements of our cook stove before you could use them. But Mrs. Stewart’s iron sure was different. It had a bulb affair at one end, and what looked like a pipe going upwards. “This is a brand new type of iron, Mrs. Haneman,” Mrs. Stewart said when she saw us looking at it. “It heats with gas.” She looked as proud as punch, as if she had just discovered gold! “And it heats very quickly ... far quicker than the electric plug-in I can tell you.” She propped it on its end, and I could hear it sizzle, and steam came out onto the damp and starched doily she was ironing. Mrs. Stewart made some comment that Mother should have a gas iron, since she was pretty sure
MARY COOK Memories we had no electricity on the farm, and it would sure beat heating the flat irons on the cook stove. Mother already had her money in her purse, her hand on the doorknob, and was pushing me out onto the street. It seemed all she was interested in was getting far away from Mrs. Stewart’s swanky house with the gas iron, and as fast as possible. She plopped into the Model T, let out a big sigh and then put her head down on the steering wheel. “Whew,” she said, as if she had just been relieved of some heavy load. “Whew,” she said again. I dared to ask her what all the fuss was about. “Did you see that iron? Well, let me tell you about a gas iron my friend Rosy had in her New York apartment. It looked just like that one too.” Mother was breathing hard, as if the memory was causing her pain. “The first time Rosy used it, she
called me in from next door to see this new invention. Well! It hissed, it sputtered, and the blue smoke came out of it, and then there was this big puff. It hit the ceiling, taking Rosie’s husband’s best white shirt with it, and there was a hole in the ceiling as big as a pumpkin.” Mother took a hanky out of her purse and wiped her forehead. The memory almost too much for her. “No thank you. I’ll stick with the flat irons I heat on the cook stove until we get electricity.” And I knew that wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Mother started the car, driving away from the curb and headed down to the main street. She was still running down the gas iron of Mrs. Stewart’s when we hit the Northcote Side Road a couple hours later. She said we were lucky to get out of that house alive, and she was sure that one day we’d read in the Renfrew Mercury about a gas iron explosion at one of the richest houses in Renfrew!

Used book sale is win-win situation SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Do you like to read? Do you like a good book? Well, you should mark down Sept. 8 and 9 on your calendar, because that’s when you will have lots of books available for purchase at bargain prices.

Gala Celebration Concert!
Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Sir. John A. Who? Last week the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario decided that the idea of maintaining and teaching Canadian history means nothing to them. At their annual general meeting the OETF passed a resolution saying they believed that any school bearing the name of Sir. John A. Macdonald should be renamed because some people may take offence to the name of the founding father of Canada. Macdonald’s vision of a united British North America and a transcontinental railroad connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific, was what brought us together as a dominion 150 years ago. But in this historic year it seems the OETF believe that Canada’s first prime minister is not worthy of celebration, is not worth of commemoration for all the good he did for Canada. The OETF are doing this they say because of Macdonald’s role in the residential school system. They have a fair point, Macdonald did play a role in the creation of a system that was responsible for terrible crimes against our indigenous peoples. But we cannot expect the leaders of the past to stand up to modern standards of morality, it simply isn’t possible. Every prime minister preceding Paul Martin was involved in the residential school system. So where does it end? Who is so virtuous a historical figure that they meet all of today’s standards? History is history, and we do not get to change what we don’t like about it.

Variety at Carp Farmers’ Market SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
There’s lot of variety in the featured attractions at the Carp Farmers’ Market over the next three weeks. The attractions range from cooking a gourmet grilled cheese to learning about alpacas to sampling apples. This Saturday, Sept. 2 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon there will be a cooking demonstration. Heather of Heather’s Hearth will demonstrate how to cook a gourmet grilled cheese. She will feature her own bread as well as products from other farmers’ market vendors in this demonstration. Those at the demonstration will be given an opportunity to taste the difference that fresh local ingredients make in cooking delicious food. Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon it will be Alpaca Day at the Events Tent at the market. You will be able to meet alpacas from the Cheff Fields Farm and learn about alpaca wool and weaving from Catherine and Dwight Cheff of Cheff Fields Farm. Alpacas produce fibre that is soft, silky, and warmer and stronger than sheep’s wool. Alpacas come in a variety of colours including white, black, brown, grey, fawn, and any combination of these. This is the widest assortment of colours of any fibre-bearing animal. One acre of pasture can sustain from five to eight animals. They are quiet animals that make soft humming sounds to communicate. Adult alpacas weigh an average of 125 to 175 pounds and live for 20 to 25 years. They
eat two pounds of hay per day as well as threequarters of a pound of a supplement per day. The average total fleece weight per alpaca is about five to 10 pounds for an adult, who are shorn once a year. Alpaca fibre is processed into a number of products. Several mills in Canada spin a good-quality yarn from alpaca fibre. The first large importation of alpacas to Canada happened in 1992, involving alpacas which were imported from Chile via a yearand-a-half quarantine in New Zealand. The alpaca industry in Canada has grown, with additional importations in recent years from Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Australia, and the United States. In Jan. 2006, the national herd numbered 16,373 registered alpacas. Saturday, Sept. 16 will see the focus at the Carp Farmers’ Market shift to apples as it will be Sampling Day from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. This will be a great opportunity to try out various types of apples.
The Carp Farmers’ Market will be featuring cooking, alpacas and apples.
The Keep Ontario Working Coalition (KOW), in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the West Ottawa Board of Trade released the first and only independent economic impact analysis of Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act. Conducted by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), the study revealed that if the legislation is implemented as currently drafted, there will be significant, sudden and sizable uncertainty for Ontario jobs, economy and communities. The Orleans Chamber of Commerce, Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and West Ottawa Board of Trade are working together with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and local stakeholders, including local Business Improvement Areas to advocate for amendments to Bill 148 that will ensure its intended outcomes. We strongly advise the government to consider the results of the economic analysis and act accordingly.

Goulbourn Male Chorus enters new season with new director Men wanting to sing are invited to join SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The Goulbourn Male Chorus is looking for new members as it heads into a new season with a new music director. The chorus is welcoming men who would like to sing in this group. Currently, the Goulbourn Male Chorus draws men from all over the west end of Ottawa as well as rural Ottawa including West Carleton. The group’s new music director is Scott Auchinleck, currently the musical director of the Kanata Choral Society.
Well known in the Ottawa choral scene, Auchinleck holds a master’s degree in choral music from the University of Ottawa. He also has degrees in music and education from Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Que. He has worked with choirs and churches in the Montreal and Ottawa regions including being director of music at Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. The Goulbourn Male Chorus rehearses on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at the Trinity Presbyterian
Church on Richardson Side Road. While being able to read music is an asset, the chorus provides MP3 files of its songs to help those who prefer to learn by listening. The fall program of the Goulbourn Male Chorus will be focused on music for the group’s Christmas concert, which will be held on Sunday, Dec. 10. Any man who likes to sing and enjoy spending time with other men who enjoy singing is most welcome to join the chorus.
EMA LEE FASHIONS CELEBRATES FOURTEEN YEARS! BREAKING NEWS HOT OFF THE PRESS
CAPITAL FAIR
We are not ready to retire yet and our business etiquette would be to politely announce it to our many loyal customers old and new
Fourteen years ago when we first opened Mr. and Mrs. Steve Clyne came into the store. He brought his guitar, sat in the “husbands chair” and played and sang while his wife shopped. This still happens! Customers come in; looked puzzled and then I can hear them humming to the same tune that he is playing. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Clyne! The late Miner Bell told me stories about the dances that took place in our building and how the nickelodeon machine would play “Irene Goodnight” over and over again. Men come in with their wives and tell how they use to deliver to my store when it was George Myers General Store or worked here years ago making Cheese and collecting milk. Others come in and within five minutes of talking, there is some kind of connection with history of family members that used to live in this beautiful area.

Ema lee Fashions is still opened and celebrating their fourteenth year!
Everyone knows that the store is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 in the hamlet of Downtown Balderson. What people don’t know is why Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical everyday boutique. What makes it different? It’s the people! Here are a few examples:
John Curry/Metroland
Dunrobin area artist Saila sits with some of the recent artwork which she has done. She recently had a display of her artwork at the Art On The Grass summer arts festival at the Carp fairgrounds in Carp.
A McDougal family use to own the store and their family members from Oshawa told the story about how scarlet fever hit. They had to close the store because people were afraid to go near them. A McLaren family member from Alberta brought in framed photos and newspaper articles about their Grandmother Lillian Cameron being the first telephone operator in Balderson. A gentleman by the name of Dalton Bradley dropped off two of his wives hats to add to my vintage hat collection. She had been a nurse at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Then one day a customer came in and asked where did you get that hat? When I explained, she said that she had been with her mother the day that she had bought it and was pleased to see it on display. She was Mr. Bradley’s daughter.
courage and strength. What an inspiration! There has also been a lot of laughter at Ema Lee Fashions especially the days when the late Mrs. Ora Paul came in. Just when I was taking life too seriously or upset when someone tried to return a bathing suit at the end of the season, Ora actually helped me keep my act together. Thanks Ora. I’ve watched children grow up and come back to shop and show me their wedding or graduation pictures. I’ve met 100-103 years old ladies full of spunk come in and buy their Birthday Party Bling. One of the told me ‘My dear it’s all in the attitude!
So we are not only celebrating fourteen years in business but celebrating the journey of meeting such wonderful, interesting caring people at Ema Lee Fashions. More Two customers from Perth than a ladies fashion store! heard that my grandson was very ill As many customers have said ‘if back in 2008. They placed his name on a prayer list across Canada and you can’t find something to wear the US. That was nine years ago. here you are not shopping. Thank you!

14 year old Dunrobin artist successful at Art On The Grass BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Some of the world’s most creative people are known by one name — Drake, Madonna, Picasso, Mozart and more. And joining them in this trend is 14 year-old Dunrobin artist Saila, which is her first name and how she signs her art. It’s really quite a unique name, as she was named after the maiden name of her mother’s mother-in-law. At the recent Art On The Grass art show and sale at the Carp fairgrounds, Saila not only sold 14 pieces of her art but she also picked up a few commissions, the first time that this had hap-
pened for her and in fact she now has a waiting list for such commission work. Saila says that she has always been drawing creatively and her art includes a bit of everything in terms of medium used — pencil, both graphite and coloured pencil, watercolour, acrylics and even some pastel work. She attended a few art camps when she was younger to learn about different techniques but other than that, she is a self-taught artist. Saila graduated from Stonecrest Elementary School last June and is off to West Carleton Secondary School at Dunrobin this September. Indeed, the first course that she selected at high
school was art. She says that she is always working on a piece of art as she does art virtually every day. She says that each piece that she does takes a different amount of work to complete but that the average time is usually a few hours. She particularly like to do portraits and animals. She also finds that she gets a lot of inspiration from the work
of other artists. She participated in the Art On The Grass event at the Carp fairgrounds because she wanted to get more exposure for her art and wanted to show that young artists like herself can contribute in the world of art. She was the youngest exhibitor at the show. She hopes to be there again next year.
Saila does not yet know if she will make a career out of her art but she hopes to keep progressing and selling her art. Besides her art, Saila is involved in competitive cheerleading. Saila can be contacted at Saila@ myomaxfitness.com. Her art can also be viewed on Instagram @zenndrawing.

NHL players, executives assemble to remember Bryan Murray BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
The Ottawa Senators held a memorial service for Bryan Murray on Aug. 24 at the Canadian Tire Centre. Murray died Aug. 12 after a long battle with colon cancer. Players and executives from all over the NHL came to pay their respects to the man who had a part in many of their careers, some of which he even helped to start. “He got me my first job,” said Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock. “He’s been in the league a long long time and he’s touched a lot of people. If you’re an upfront guy people are attracted to that “ Babcock worked with Murray when he coached in Ana-

of change.” “I know I can speak for everyone who played for Bryan that would remember his sarcastic wit,” said Phillips. “His team meetings were awesome, even when he was not happy with us he would throw out his sarcastic wit that made even Mike Fisher giggle.” Phillips told a story about when Fisher was going through a bit of a scoring slump when he was still in Ottawa. He asked Fisher “are you ever going to score again?” Once he stopped laughing he asked him again “no, seriously, are you?” Fisher later scored that night. An emotional Pierre Dorion spoke on behalf of the management along with assistant general manager Randy Lee. He spoke of the legacy Murray would leave with the team and the importance of honouring his memory. “Hopefully the next time we’ll gather like this it’s to celebrate Bryan’s induction into the hockey hall of fame.”

with stage 4 terminal cancer that most likely could have been caught had he gotten regular checks. But instead of being angry he decided to be a voice to convince others to not skip on the important checkup. “He thought about how he could have saved so many other lives,” said Dorion. The ceremony to celebrate Murray was emceed by Dean Brown and Gord Wilson. The two-long time sportscasters have been involved with the organization for a very long time and were both very familiar with Murray. Chris Phillips spoke for his fellow former and current players and Murray’s niece Lynn Hearty-Coutts spoke for the family. Commissioner for the NHL Gary Bettman was also on hand to celebrate Murray’s life and held him in high regard for both his work in the NHL and his work to raise awareness for colon cancer. “His message to all was get checked and my sincere hope is everyone will honour Bryan’s life and his advice,” said Bettman. “Ultimately Bryan would find his place in the NHL, and look at this NHL map. Washington, Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and, of course, Ottawa. In each of those organizations, Bryan was an agent

heim and Murray was the General Manager. A lot of former and current Senators players were in attendance including Chris Phillips. Philips spent his entire career with the organization and a large portion of that was with Murray behind the bench or up in the executive box. In the final season before he retired Phillips didn’t play a game and spent a lot of time up in the box with Murray. “He was an honest man,” said Phillips. “Ask him an honest question and he gave you and honest answer. You knew where you stood with him. He had time for everyone no matter where he was in the community.” As a coach and later GM, Murray had the respect of people throughout the organization “It wasn’t about him, it wasn’t about individuals. It was about the team,” said Phillips. Pierre Dorion took over the GM job after Murray stepped down. “I wouldn’t be the GM I am today without Bryan Murray,” said Dorion. “He had such a good approach to the way he did things.” After his diagnosis Murray became a champion for colonoscopies and how important it is to get yourself checked. Unfortunately Murray had not gotten checked and was diagnosed

How to reduce the risk of getting flu at school School-aged kids who catch colds or the flu from their classmates can quickly spread those colds to their family members, who then might spread the colds further when they go to work. Preventing the spread of colds and flu at school is a team effort that requires the assistance of not just parents, but also teachers and students. Still, parents might be the first line of defense when it comes to preventing the spread of cold and flu at school. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 38 million school days are lost to the flu each year. Those lost days can affect students who miss lesson plans, but also affect parents, who often must take days off
from work to tend to their sick children. While there’s no way for parents to guarantee their children won’t catch a cold or the flu this school year, they can take various preventive measures to increase kids’ chances of staying healthy and achieving perfect attendance. Some of these measures are: • Make sure kids are immunized and that their immunizations are current. Vaccinations bolster kids’ immune systems. That’s important, as kids’ immune systems are naturally less mature than adults’, making them more vulnerable to germs and viruses. The CDC recommends that adults and children receive their flu vaccinations in October while noting that such vaccinations can be administered
as late as January and still prove effective. The CDC also recommends that adults and children receive flu vaccinations each year. Additional vaccinations may not need to be administered as often, but parents should still ensure kids’ are up-to-date with their shots. • Make sure kids regularly wash their hands. Kids often catch colds by rubbing their hands that have been exposed to cold virus germs on their noses or eyes. To prevent that, parents can teach kids to wash to their hands thoroughly, including scrubbing the backs of their hands, between their fingers and around their fingernails.

This prevents the spread of colds and flu to classmates and teachers, and time to rest at home may help youngsters recover more quickly. • Teach kids to avoid common germ spots. Germs can be lurking anywhere, but some spots seem to make more welcome homes for germs than others. Studies have shown that kids were most likely to encounter germs in schools on water fountain spigots and on plastic cafeteria trays.

Guarding against head lice As the school year begins anew, lice often becomes a subject of conversation among concerned parents. In certain areas, such as in classrooms and locker rooms, lice easily can be transferred from person to person. Understanding this common foe can help students avoid it and parents recognize it when it’s present. A louse is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds on its host while living on the surface of the host’s body. Although lice can affect various parts of the body, they are most notably present on the scalp. Research indicates that head lice have been spreading among humans for millenia. Ancient Egyptian and Greek books of medicine make reference to lice, and they have even been found
on prehistoric mummies. Unlike lice that congregate on other parts of the body, head lice are not a vector for disease transmission. They are relatively innocuous, but can be quite a nuisance. The insects are adept at clinging to human hair and feeding on blood from the scalp. Anyone can get lice, regardless of their personal hygiene or lack thereof. School-aged children between the ages of four and 14 catch lice more frequently than adults. Although firm data on lice infestations is difficult to come by, estimates suggest that as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children between the ages of three and 11. Head-to-head contact with an already-infested person is the most common
way to get head lice. Head lice can be spread when people sit closely to one another, such as in a classroom or theater. It is very rare that lice are spread through shared belongings such as hats, combs or on furniture. Pets do not play a role in the spread of head lice. Lice tend to congregate behind the ears and at the neckline at the back of the head. Sometimes, they can be found on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can be difficult to detect, and they may
not produce symptoms. In some instances, itching and irritation may be so mild that it goes unnoticed. Plus, because eggs (nits) and even adult lice are so small, they can be difficult to identify. Treating lice typically involves using specialized combs to remove nits and lice. Pesticide shampoos and lotions or nonpesticide treatments may be used to eradicate the lice. Limiting head-to-head exposure is the best way to avoid a lice outbreak.
Schools, day care centers and babysitting centers are common places for lice to strike.

Student physicals should be part of back to school planning School time requires having all of the necessary supplies, clothing and gear ready for the year. In addition, preparing for a new school year often involves providing updated physical health information to the school administration. The requirements for health screenings and reporting may vary between school districts. Some physical examinations need to be conducted annually, while others may only need updating at certain intervals, such as when kids transition from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school. Updated physical forms also may be required at the start of a sports season. Health screenings are intended to detect problems

that may interfere with learning. Physical exams may indicate issues that can hamper progress or shed light on undiagnosed problems that may require further assessment and necessitate customized learning plans to help students succeed. Physical exams are also a way to ensure students’ immunizations are up to date. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, physical exams typically are completed by students’ primary care providers. Some school districts offer free or low-cost health assessments through school providers as well. Students who will be traveling for school may be required to meet the health requirements of their destination country. For example, medical students admitted to a Canadian university may be required to get a medical exam, according to the Government of Canada. Visiting the doctor, nurse practitioner or a schoolprovided medical professional may not make school-aged children too happy. To make the process go smoothly, consider these suggestions. • Work with physicians who have access to electronic health records. EHRs are secure technology that provides easy access to vaccination records, health history, appointment reminders, and even prescription information. Some providers even make it possible for patients to directly access their health information through a secure login, helping save time.

BE BACK TO SCHOOL READY Consider function and style with backpacks Finding the right backpack is an essential component of back-to-school shopping. Children may have their own ideas of what’s in style, but parents should look for backpacks that are functional before factoring in style. Marrying form and function together can be challenging, but it’s necessary to prevent students from developing back problems. But parents must give consideration to more than just the size of their children’s backpacks. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, at least 14,000 children are treated for backpack-related injuries every year. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says that the weight of a backpack should not exceed 10 to 15 percent of a child’s body weight. But many students pack their bags with much more weight than that. Improperly sized, worn and overstuffed backpacks can injure joints and lead to neck, back and shoulder injuries. They also may affect chil- There’s lots of selection in backpacks but make sure you choose one that is functional. dren’s posture.

Many adults are returning to the classroom When a new school semester starts, children and young adults may not be the only ones who are returning to the classroom. Many adults resolve to expand their professional horizons by returning to school even after they have established themselves in their professions. Some may aspire to develop skills specific to a particular job, while others may want to make it easier to transition to a new career. The National Center for Education Statistics says 33 percent of the 18 million undergraduate students in the United States are over the age of 25. Students over the age of 30 make up 22 percent of the student body in colleges and universities. Many adults may not have been in a classroom in more than a decade. Many things have changed with regard to academia in recent decades, and adults may need some extra time Adult learners now comprise a significant portion of and help to make their transition back to student go smoothly. college and university student bodies.

• Schedule a campus visit. Choosing a school is an important decision, and even though you might not be spending as much time on campus as you did when you were younger, don’t overlook the importance of a campus visit. A member of the admissions faculty or even a current student may be able to offer a guided tour, explaining the layout of the campus, amenities and resources. He or she also may point out parking areas, study locations and the best way to navigate the campus. This will help alleviate a fish-out-of-water feeling the first day of class. • Secure financial aid if necessary. School is expensive, but keep in mind that scholarships
and other forms of financial aid are not exclusive to younger learners. • Brush up on school skills. Start reading more to refresh your vocabulary and other language skills. College involves critical thinking and reasoning, so explore free online courses or games that cover critical thinking skills. Refresh your memory on basic writing rules if essays and reports will be part of your curriculum. Honing your academic skills in advance of returning to school can help you start off on the right foot. • Create a support system. Going back to school will require you to rearrange schedules and make certain sacrifices. Such adjustments may require the assistance of friends and family.

Your input is wanted as the City of Ottawa starts to prepare its 2018 budget. City of Ottawa West Carleton-March Ward Coun.

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton National Capital Open Recently The Hylands Golf Club played host to the National Capital Open to Support Our Troops. Proceeds from the tournament go on to benefit the Soldier On fund, a Canadian Armed Forces program that supports currently serving members and veterans to overcome their physical or mental health illness or injury through physical activity and sport. Since its inception in 2007, Soldier On has helped more than 2,200 ill and injured members and Veterans. This year, the tournament raised more than $78,200. I would like to thank all the volunteers and supporters of this incredible tournament.
Kanata Youth Council As a part of the Government’s continued commitment to promote meaningful youth engagement in Canada’s government, the Kanata-Carleton Youth Council will be returning for this upcoming school year, and will be opening for applications shortly. The Kanata-Carleton Youth Council will include youth from different schools, neighborhoods and local associations. I want to hear from youth in the community and am inviting anyone from the ages of 15-21 to apply. Once selected, the council will meet several times throughout the year to discuss issues that matter to our youth, their community and their country. I hope to hear from all those interested soon!
South Asia Fest I had a wonderful time at the South Asian Festival, celebrating such great communities with the many people who showed up for the festivities. Thank you to all the organizers, volunteers, performers & supporters who joined us at city hall. It was such a terrific celebration!
Dieppe Commemoration Last week marked the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid. The August 19, 1942 battle involved 5,000 Canadians: 907 were killed, 586 wounded and almost 2,000 were taken prisoner. The raid, code-named Operation Jubilee, was the first significant military action involving Canadian soldiers in Europe during the Second World War. I am so thankful to those Veterans who fought for our freedom.
Food Policy Online Survey There is still time to have your say in Canada’s upcoming Food Policy! I am looking for individuals to share their priorities and get their perspective on what areas the government should focus on when creating the new food policy. The survey feedback will be an important component of policy discussions and will be shared directly with Minister MacAulay. Visit http://KarenMcCrimmonMP.ca/food/ before September 18th to find out more and to have your say.
Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all. Please feel free to contact our office at 613-592-3469 or by email at Karen.McCrimmon@parl.gc.ca. Please follow me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/karenmccrimmon.ca/

onship a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s time to see who’s the best at the club. Last year was the inaugural event for the junior championship. This year junior coach Daniel Guay says he has expanded the tournament to two days and expects 12 junior members will compete starting at 1 p.m. on Friday. “They are so excited,” he said. “This will not be easy for reigning junior champion Nicolas Langford to repeat because this year’s competition is so strong. The guys have better experience after playing in match play and the intersectional tournament.” Guay is also hosting a mini-championship on Madawaska’s executive course Sumac Grove for the young juniors who aren’t quite ready for Twisted Pines. The juniors will also
compete in a skills competition including putting, longest drive and closest to the pin. The Men’s Club Championship will take place this Sunday and Monday of the Labour Day long weekend.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes
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!
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, trust the people you love and your close friends. There is a good reason why you hang in certain social circles. It’s not the time to doubt your alliances.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Bringing together people and socializing is what you desire this week, Sagittarius. Therefore, why not host a party or organize a night out with friends?
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Friends may be surprised to hear you requesting things, Taurus, since you’re not usually one to ask for help. It is okay to need some assistance this week to get by.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Self-confidence and enthusiasm helps you to be a natural-born leader this week, Virgo. Show coworkers just how much you can handle and they’ll take a step back.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It is important not to let others make decisions for you, Capricorn. If you feel strongly about something, speak up for yourself and others will notice your assertiveness.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may need to ask yourself some difficult questions this week if you plan to map out more of your future. If you’re looking for adventure, the goals will be different from stability.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, changes to your financial status may have you looking at various ways to cut costs or ways to splurge. Research all of the possibilities before making drastic changes.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Someone close to you may be having difficulties he or she is not able to verbalize, Aquarius. Be patient with this person and help work through all of the angles.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 There are many changes waiting to unfold in your personal life, Scorpio. Take the time to listen to what the stars are trying to tell you and make the best decisions.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, when you act as a leader your behaviors may be different from others around you. It is okay to stand out for the right reasons.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Try to show others this week that you are a thoughtful person who has many life experiences to share, Cancer. Try to assert yourself in a calm but effective way.

40th anniversary for Fitzroy Harbour Community Association water Whiskey and most of all friends and volunteers. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon were all on hand to mark the special occasion. El-Chantiry praised the many volunteers over the years especially noting current president Karen Taylor who has held that post for 18 years. “How amazing are our rural volun-
teers,” said El-Chantiry. He went on to say how proud he was of this major accomplishment. “It means there is a historical connection because this is a part of our history,” said El-Chantiry. In the plaque presented to Taylor from Watson and El-Chantiry it noted it was a distinct pleasure to bring greetings on behalf of all of council. “We want to acknowledge the FHCA on the auspicious occasion of
its 40th anniversary serving the community,” reads the certificate. “Constructed in 1977 the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre serves as an important community hub for a variety of recreational sports activities for persons of all ages. The FHCA also merits accolades for organizing Harbor Days, a community garage sale, winter carnival, a New Year’s Eve event, as well as children’s activities for Easter, Halloween and Christmas
and for participating in the Cleaning the Capital Campaign.” In her remarks Taylor called the They are a rural ruby. night a very special occasion and a The Fitzroy Harbour Community chance to look back on the history of Association (FHCA) celebrated its the centre which she said was so much 40th anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 26 more than just a cold, sterile facility. in fine form. “It’s a symbol of a community and The field where they normally play in Fitzroy Harbour the village has ball was transformed into an elegant always been closely tied to its hall,” affair with a crisp white tent, delicious said Taylor. “Our hall is a place where food, rocking country music by Rainfriends gather, it’s a place of fellowship, of sharing in the many special events which mark passages in villager’s lives.” She recounted the many activities for kids, adults and seniors all under the roof of the hall. She also thanked the Campbell family for their special place in the FHCA history. “We’re situated in a beautiful setting along the Carp River,” said Taylor. “This community centre could not have existed without the generosity of Clifford Campbell who donated this land to our village. And to give you an idea of the generosity of this Harbour family. The Campbell family who recently lost Jack Campbell, Clifford’s son, requested any donations in memory of Jack be directed to the Fitzroy sports field.” Taylor called the hall a special building built by volunteers as was Tiffany Lepack/Metroland the first hall that opened in 1940, also The Fitzroy Harbour Community Association held its 40th anniversary celebration at the community centre on Saturday, Aug. 26, with a delicious supported by volunteers who have roast beef dinner, local entertainment and popular Ottawa Valley band Rainwater Whiskey.

August is the prime month for hearing Eastern Wolves howl BY MICHAEL RUNTZ
August is one of my favourite months for several reasons. One is that by its end, the biting insects start disappearing. Another is that the nights are deliciously cool and the days clear and bright. And last but not least, Algonquin wolves are howling. Of course, wolves howl all year long. Howling is how wolves communicate not only to fellow pack members but also to other wolves. Howls are audible “no trespassing” signs that tell other wolves where property limits reside. Wolves
howl to tell pack members their location, and to no doubt convey other information. Howling also seems to play a role in social bonding in a pack. Why is August better for hearing wolves howl? One reason is that the night air is cooler and calm, and sound carries better under those conditions. Another is that wolf packs take up residence then in “rendezvous sites.” At rendezvous sites pups are left to play and rest while adults go hunting. Pups howl a lot and do not discriminate between the howls of pack mem-
bers and stray wolves or their impostors, and reply to either with equal enthusiasm. A rendezvous site (named for the reuniting of adults and pups at the site) can be used for days, weeks, or even months. In August, because wolves reply readily to human howls and rendezvous sites are in use, Algonquin Park holds Public Wolf Howls, events in which attendees are taken out to hear Eastern Wolves reply to human howls. The Wolf Howls are world famous, with more than a thousand people taking part in one event. I used to take part in the Howls when I worked in Algonquin as a summer naturalist. Since 1993 I have conducted my own Howls in Bonnechere Provincial Park and in more recent years also at Achray in eastern Algonquin. Last weekend I held Wolf Howls in both parks, and had responses from wolves on both events. Prior to the Howls I searched for wolves and had great success, locating three rendezvous sites, one situated along the shores of a remote
beaver pond. After quietly sneaking in prior to dawn and patiently waiting for an hour, I was rewarded by seeing an adult wolf stroll into view and howl. The wolf was wearing a radio transmitter, placed there by an OMNRF biologist. After a two-hour wait the second day, three pups wandered into view and howled. I was silently ecstatic as my camera clicked away. Another rendezvous site was located along the shores of another beaver pond. This one, however, lacked any good vantage point for observation or photography. As I first snuck stealthily through the woods toward the pond, a wolf pup wandered within three metres of me, completely unaware of my presence. Unfortunately it was too close to photograph and vegetation blocked my view as it wandered away. The memory of its oversized head peeking through the Bracken ferns so close to me is one that will never fade away. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca
