Wet spring impacts WC’s agriculture, recreation BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Ottawa’s eighth rainiest year on record, well on its way to number one, has caused havoc on those who make their money off the land. It has been a summer and spring of challenges for those whose businesses depend on

land and weather to make a living. Residents of West Carleton had to deal with the rainiest spring on record which created a spring flood that devastated communities along the Ottawa River including Constance Bay, Willola Beach, MacLaren’s Landing and Fitzroy Harbour. The water eventually receded, but

the rain never stopped. While residents in affected areas are still trying to put their lives together, those whose income is weather dependent are starting to crunch numbers as summer gives way to fall. Rolf Cambell is an Ottawa-based weather historian who gathers raw statistics from Environment Canada

and collates that information in to easily digestible information and statistics through his Twitter feed @YOW_Weather. Campbell is a computer scientist who has “always been interested in statistics and statistical analysis.” “Meteorology was always on my short list as a career,” he told the West Carleton

Review, Wednesday, Aug. 30. “I’ve always been interested in the data.” Campbell said he had been acquiring data from Environment Canada for many years and in 2011, created his first Twitter account to “push out this info.”

2 West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 7, 2017

Rain has caused havoc on farmers, landowners’ businesses Continued from page 1

He now operates “all automated” Twitter accounts in 26 Canadian cities sharing weather information. “Weather data is just reams and reams of numbers,” Campbell said. “My primary goal is to take those numbers and make them mean something. I’m no forecaster.” But the numbers he has on the spring and summer of 2017 provide a gloomy forecast for those who operate weather dependent businesses. As of Sept. 1, there have been 120 days of rain this spring and summer. “That’s well above normal and no other year has had that much rain before the end of August,” Campbell said. Campbell says four months before the end of the year, 2017 is the eighth rainiest in the last 144 years. Campbell’s data dates back to 1873 using records from the Central Experimental Farm. From 1938 on, Campbell’s data comes from the Ottawa airport. At the end of August, 875 mm of rain has fallen on the Ottawa area (this does not include snow) – only 4 mm behind all of 2010, the current wettest year on record. Campbell is confident in four months, 2017 will be at the top of the charts for the most rain in a calendar year.

“If we have normal weather from here on out, we will be in first place,” Campbell said. “Even 25 per cent rain less than normal. It’s almost a certainty this will be the rainiest year.” Currently, 2017 is in 20th place for highest precipitation going back to 1873, but at 1007.8 mm and only 159 mm behind the top spot (1972), Campbell expects 2017 to climb to the top of that category as well. “We normally average 300 mm between now and the end of the year,” he said. As far as springs go, Ottawa is already in first place for wettest ever. Between March 22 and June 21, 393.2 mm of rain poured on the area – 63.1 mm more than second place 1945. Campbell used data over the last 104 years to “try and estimate how often this might occur.” His stats show in 80 per cent of those 104 years, spring rainfall falls in the 140 to 260 mm range. “This spring was a one in 3,000 years event,” Campbell said. “You have to qualify that by saying it has probably happened once or twice in that time, but it is extremely rare.” Even factoring in climate change, Campbell says don’t bet on a spring like this reoccurring soon. “Certainly, temperatures are trending upwards but it is unlikely an event like this will happen again in our lifetime,” he said. “We are clearly on the

path to having the wettest year, no matter how you measure it.” These high water numbers have hurt the bottom line at the Madawaska Golf Course, and all golf related industry in the Ottawa area, club owner Rick Munro said. “We opened, but nobody came,” Munro said of early spring. “Our first men’s night was delayed a week, our first ladies’ night, our first tournament, all delayed.” Munro normally has eight to 10 staff working in spring to kick off the season, but was only able to keep four to seven people busy. “Any cutting was restricted to dry areas, which were few,” Munro said. “The rain itself stopped us from working. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first six-day stretch we’ve had without any rain (speaking to the West Carleton Review on Monday, Aug. 28).” Munro says through August, the club has seen about 40 per cent fewer rounds played over last year. “People put their clubs in the back of the garage and if they don’t get out to play in the first few weeks, they stay there,” Munro said. “Everyone’s responsibilities also get delayed. We haven’t seen many of our regular non-members

Ward 5 councillor confident rural paramedic wait times won’t wane shifts changed and anyone who uses the rural bases on a regular basis will have to clean out their lockers. The changes were fully implemented on Sept. 1 The paramedic service said the change is a direct response to an arbitration award with the union over the 30-minute end of shift policy. Paramedics say the realignment will help better balance heavy call volumes in Ottawa’s core while still fulfilling the responsibility to service the rural areas. At the time, Ottawa

Coun. Eli El-Chantiry says he is confident rural paramedic service wait times will not be affected due to recent changes to the service model. Last week Ottawa paramedics previously assigned to eight rural stations including Kinburn will be required to start and end their shifts at headquarters instead of the rural bases. A memo sent to staff said around 24 staff members will have their

Paramedic Service (OPS) deputy Chief Peter Kelly wrote in a statement “this is not a reduction in coverage, nor is there a change to the current deployment plan.” He went on to write this model will allow the service “to properly locate resources for the greatest benefit.” The new plan means paramedics will start and end their shift at the service’s headquarters near Conroy and Walkley roads. Paramedics will be assigned to a location based on internal statistics, estimated call volumes based on historical data and areas of high demand. Ottawa council discussed the issue following the release of the OPS 2016 Annual Report. At the time, Coun. El-Chantiry said he was concerned the change may negatively affect response times in the city’s rural areas. “My concern was if there was too much demand in the core, it

The city hired 12 new paramedics in 2016; hired 24 new paramedics and purchased five new vehicles in 2017; and will be hiring 14 more paramedics

in 2018 as well as another vehicle according to the 2018 draft budget. El-Chantiry also pointed out the 12-minute response time average in rural Ottawa is less than the 15-minute response time average for all of rural Ontario. “We are investing in the service, but we have to keep monitoring this, because this is a very important issue for our rural residents,” he said. El-Chantiry said there

were five life-threatening calls for service in West Carleton in 2016. The province pays 50 per cent of the total cost of paramedic service. The province is also responsible for the Land Ambulance Act, which governs all paramedic service in the province. The act mandates the closest ambulance to a patient must respond to the call, regardless of municipal borders. This seamless service has put a strain on some of Ottawa’s surrounding municipalities’ paramedic service that often have to respond to calls in Ottawa while attempting to return to their own municipalities. Renfrew Coounty’s chief of paramedic services, Mike Nolan, has been very public about his concerns. In 2016, the OPS responded to 533 calls for service outside of the city’s geographic borders, while other municipalities were required to respond to calls in Ottawa 2,395 times. El-Chantiry adds West

Carleton has a service other areas of urban Ottawa do not. There are two paramedicines, as they are know, who receive a list of patients each day from the Carp Family Medical Centre and check in on those patients. “We have a proactive response in West Carleton that is not really available everywhere in Ottawa,” he said. But in an emergency, El-Chantiry wants to ensure everyone gets the same care. “We just want to make sure when a paramedic is needed, it’s there,” he said. “I’m trying to continue to pressure the city to continue to invest in the paramedic service. It’s too important.” El-Chantiry says the annual report shows the service has improved each year. “But I don’t want us to stop and think we’ve achieved our goal,” he said. “How do we maintain our service and not put too much pressure on our neighbours?”

NorthWind Wireless has added another knot to its ties with the Constance Bay community. In a deal finalized last July, the Constance Bay and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre was officially renamed the NorthWind Wireless Fibe Centre. NorthWind Wireless purchased the naming rights to the centre for a 10-year period which will help with the funding for the building expansion. NorthWind Wireless was formed by a team of local entrepreneurs who wanted to bring broadband access to rural communities. Their first project was Constance Bay cleverly turning Canada’s first trans-Canada highway – the Ottawa River – into an open space providing West Carleton residents with access to the information superhighway. NorthWind Wireless now provides broadband access from Pinhey’s Point to Quyon and Willola Beach. The company is also providing services in the March Road and Corkery

The Constance Bay community centre is now known as the NorthWind Wireless Fibe Centre. Road areas extending around Carp. The key advantage to their network is efficient, high performance equipment that allows a much lower number of users in a community with rates comparable to those in the city. NorthWind Wireless Director Ian Stewart told the West Carleton Review how the opportunity came about to join the ranks of the Canadian Tire Centre, TD Place and Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park as important Ottawa community buildings now named

after corporations. “I think initially we were approached by (Constance Bay and Buckham’s Bay Community Association Vice President) Ian Glen,” Stewart said. Stewart says fellow NorthWind Director David McKeen is a Constance Bay resident with ties to the community of more than 50 years. Unfortunately, McKeen was on a business trip in Toronto and unavailable for comment for this story, at the time.

The Deep Roots Food Hub is also a partner member of the program. “Deep Roots Food Hub is working to connect local farmers with West Carleton residents through new and alternative channels,” board member Jen Fry said. “The Good Food Corner Store initiative is a perfect example. Nicholls will provide convenient daily access to fresh produce. Deep Roots plans to build a root cellar that will enable stores such as Nicholls to source local storage crops year-round.” As part of the program, OPH will ensure the pilot stores are trained in proper fresh food handling and storage techniques. “Selling fresh produce takes more planning and more handling, so that is a challenge,” Graham said.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Changing name does nothing

hat’s in a name? A lot, if you listen to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which has called on school boards to rename any schools bearing the name of Sir John A. Macdonald. While Macdonald was one of the chief architects of Confederation in 1867, he also was a decision maker with regard to implementation of residential schools for Canada’s Indigenous peoples. And therein lies the rub — he’s great, but he’s not so great. So, according to the ETFO, let’s wipe Sir John A. from any school buildings. But then what’s next, especially here in Ottawa where the name is widespread. Are the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport renamed? Is his statue on Parliament Hill removed? And what about the Sir John A. pub on Elgin Street? This ETFO renaming proposal has not been greeted favourably by either Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne nor Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. We find Trudeau’s position on this inconsistent as he just recently renamed the Langevin Block because of Hector-Louis Langevin’s role in the establishment of the residential school system. While Langevin is not nearly as signifi-

cant an historical figure as Sir John A., his name was quickly tossed aside by the PM. Yet Sir John A. was Langevin’s boss and was equally complicit in the decision. One goes and one stays — a double standard? Surely what really should be happening as the country wrestles with reconciliation with its Indigenous populace is not to eliminate the past by deleting the names of those from that chapter in Canada’s history. Rather, schools need to tell the complete story of our forefathers, warts and all. In this way, Canadians will come to know not only all the positive things that these people did, but also their blemishes. Removing names from school or public facilities would only cover up the past and do nothing to help Canadians of today to begin dealing with how to form a new respectful relationship with Indigenous peoples. Our past is what it is. We cannot change that. Nor should we want to change that. But Canadians should know about the past — the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly. Let’s honour the accomplishments and achievements of our forefathers while also acknowledging their faults and taking action to correct them.

eptember is here and I’ve managed to do the unthinkable — the family calendar is booked seven days per week, sometimes double-booked. After all the years promising myself and you readers that I wouldn’t let this happen, the crazy, overscheduled lifestyle has hit. My eldest two children are on the brink of adolescent years. And as it turns out, they like their friends more than they like me. Their friends play football and soccer and baseball and hockey and … well, the list goes on. “Some days, I’d like to come home from work and just sit for half an hour,” my husband said one day last spring as he was emptying the compost and preparing to mend a school uniform for one of the kids. Personally, I’d like to stop thinking about groceries and meal planning.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse My most frequent Google searches these days include things like, “meals for kids on the go” and “slow cooker all year ‘round.” I’ve also been known to look up things like “how much protein do kids need if they’re growing and playing sports six hours per day?” Turns out, it’s a lot.

8 West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 7, 2017

ent meeting, I have discovered the best thing since the professionalization of motherhood — the carpool. If you’re a parent with kids in extracurricular activities and you’re not carpooling, it’s time to start. It will save your sanity. But you have to stop hovering so much. The carpool should be easy to establish, but it’s not. It takes hours to get everything downloaded and organized at the beginning of the sports season — you have to recruit like-minded parents (those that are comfortable as nonhelicopters), download the info from TeamSnap and create a shareable calendar. As a family with one car and three kids, I have to frequently look into double-booking issues, work around vacations and rely on kind neighbours — you know who you are — to make

it run smoothly. It’s comparable to many project management jobs for which I once got paid. But once it’s in place, it works like a charm. My son has 12 practices per month in one sport. Twelve! With six parents on our carpool list, I attend two training sessions every 30 days. Unless I’m volunteering on a particular evening, I don’t need to be on the sidelines watching my kids train in sports. Would they want to sit there and watch me exercise? I don’t think so. I don’t even want to watch me exercise. It’s time better spent grocery shopping and meal planning, if you know what I mean. The carpool has been so successful, I extended it to include games. So what if I missed my son’s first goal of the season? I got to take a bubble bath

Unhappy with roads? Be at budget meeting Editor: Re: Ottawa Roads in Worst Condition of 15 Largest Canadian Cities West Carleton-March Coun. ElChantiry wants our input on Budget 2018 priorities. My message is: If “Roads are Priority Number One” ... why are almost 80 per cent of city roads rated in a condition below “GOOD”? About one-third of our roads are reported in a condition “that may negatively impact the level of service.” That doesn’t sound good ... sounds unsafe for cars, cyclists and pedestrians! Ten years ago the rural affairs advisory committee reported a 15 per cent decrease in road condition over the period 2002-2005. It stated: “ ... under our current budget pressures, funding for life- cycle investments across the city has been reduced. This has resulted in a drop in the conditions of our entire road network, in both urban and rural areas ...” Over the past decade it has gotten worse. The Municipal Benchmarking Network reports the condition of Ottawa’s roads is dead last compared with 14 other large Canadian municipalities [Page 158 of the report at: http:// mbncanada.ca/ ]. Ottawa provides the input so what is staff telling council

about the condition of our roads? Surely ‘someone must have told someone' ... or was no-one listening? Mayor Watson commented on the road condition during Budget 2017 discussions: “ ... We have spent a record amount of money in infrastructure this term and last term of council and yet it never seems to be enough, and we never seem to whittle down the infrastructure deficit.” Road maintenance is not rocket science ... it is either being mismanaged or underfunded. In another statement the mayor said: “ ... Most residential streets I travel on are actually in pretty good shape because they’re not collector lanes, they’re not travelled on a lot, so they don’t get the wear and tear,” though he acknowledged roads in some communities, particularly in the rural areas, are rough. Thank-you for acknowledging the poor condition of the rural roads! When we suggest that the roads maintenance budget is underfunded, “Ottawa on the Move” is paradedout. This Budget 2012 program injected $340 million but much of this work was directed at preparations for LRT. It skewed the normal priority for due routine maintenance and ru-

ral residents were cautioned that they would have to sacrifice some roadwork for the LRT priority. But at least this injection recognized that many millions of road maintenance and renewal work was overdue. We chronically underfund road maintenance by tens of millions of dollars annually and the situation continues in the long range financial plan. I estimate a backlog of some $200 million in road maintenance work. ‘A stitch in time saves nine.’ Every year that routine maintenance is delayed means it will be more costly when we eventually get to it. Ignored routine repairs necessitate a rebuild at greatly increased costs. If we don’t keep up with the routine repairs of our car a major and expensive repair lies in the near future. Same situation with roads. If you are not happy with the condition of our roads tell your councillor and the mayor. I hope to meet you at the Ward 5 budget consultation meeting on Sept. 12.

The West Carleton community deserves tremendous credit for its generous support of the society’s fundraising events such as the residential canvass, Daffodil Month and the Relay For Life. Despite the progress which has been made, childhood cancer is still the No. 1 cause of disease-related death for Canadian children.

Letter: Childhood cancer Editor: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Every year in Canada, about 950 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society is the largest national charitable funder of childhood cancer research in Canada, investing over $50 million in childhood cancer research over the last 15 years. This has supported over 170 research projects. And it’s working. In the late 1980s, the five-year survival rate for childhood cancers was 71 per cent. Today it is 83 per cent. In addition, each year the Canadian Cancer Society helps hundreds of families with kids with cancer get to cancer-related appointments with the assistance of the society’s transporta-

Back to Queen’s Park, Back to Work Next week I will be headed back to Queen’s Park as the Legislature begins its fall session. Summer is normally a low period for politics, but we have all been kept busy with an active agenda. I have spoken with business owners around Eastern Ontario about bill 148, the 30% mandated wage hike, and the impacts it is going to have on them. They were straight forward in saying bill 148 is going to kill jobs. I attended the committee meeting that was held in Ottawa to ensure that their views and concerns were represented. I have been making your voices heard, by standing up for the issues that are going to matter when the Legislature resumes sitting. Fighting government cash grabs, opposing making the same regulatory mistakes with marijuana that we made with alcohol and standing up for our small businesses. I was happy to once again host our Music in the Park concert, it is always great to be able to connect with the community in a light and fun atmosphere. And on a personal note I had the great joy of hosting my daughter’s wedding. Family is very important to me, as a father and grandfather I see what I’m fighting for as an MPP, their futures..

Fifteen-year-old Charlotte Van Barr of Kinburn fiddles around a lot. But it is all in a good way, as Charlotte has been competing in fiddle and step dance competitions for eight years now. This summer, the Grade 10 student at West Carleton Secondary School placed first at several fiddle/step dance competitions. She placed first in the age 18 and under fiddle category at the Ottawa Fiddle and Step Dance competition in Richmond in May. This was the second year in a row that she was the champion there. She won in the duet fiddle category at the southwestern Ontario contest in Tavistock while she also won in the Ontario Open Fiddle and Step Dance Contest in Bobcaygeon. On the weekend of Aug. 26/27, Charlotte was at the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Competition in Valleyfield, Que., as she had been chosen as one of four young Canadian fiddlers to be a presenter at the junior showcase there. Indeed, she was the only young fiddler from Ontario invited to this showcase. At the showcase, Charlotte gave a 10-minute presentation of fiddling and step dancing and told about herself. This happened at the evening finals of the competition at Valleyfield College. This past weekend, Charlotte was a finalist in both fiddle and step dance in the age 18 and under category in the annual Pembroke Old Time Fiddle and Step Dancing Championships. When

she was 13 years old, she placed second in the age 18 and under fiddle category at this competition. But Charlotte is more than just a fiddler and step dancer. She plays classical violin as well with the Ottawa Youth Orchestra. She studies classical violin with Elaine Klimasko of the National Arts Centre Orchestra. Charlotte has participated for four consecutive years now in the provincial finals for classical violin hosted by the Ontario Music Festivals Association. Over the past five years, she has received multiple scholarships from her participation in the Ottawa Kiwanis Music Festival

PUBLIC MEETINGS

Centre receives no government funding; it has developed thanks to funding from rotary clubs, the United Way and individual donors. Its initial 2013 budget of $30,000 has now grown to $203,000. The Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre was founded by Monique Yashinskie after she lost her son Robbie to suicide in 2011. She had spent a year trying to get help for him but due to a fragmented system, she was never able to secure the help that her son needed. She vowed that she would change

the system in Renfrew county so that no others would have to go through what she did in trying to get help for someone in need. Her son Robbie Dean had a job at McDonald’s, was in the reserves and was at the top of his class. He played sports and had a girlfriend. But he came to suffer from depression, mood disorders and an alcohol addiction. He was friends with and liked by everyone. He was always there to listen for others. See ROBBIE DEAN, page 15

Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre Continued from page 14

When his mother founded this new family counselling centre, it was the community which suggested that it be named after her son Robbie Dean. The purpose of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre is to try to close the service gaps which exist so that people get help when they need it, unlike what happened in Robbie Dean’s case. The Centre also tries to be proactive to solve problems before they become tragic. Currently, the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre employs three counsellors. It also has volunteers who facilitate groups dealing with parental peer support, stress management and LGBTQ. The Centre also offers suicide prevention and crisis clinics. The goal of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre is to provide people with a safety net to help them get through their low moments in life. Walk-in clinics in various communities in Renfrew County is an important part of this. Yashinskie suggests that the presence of such a walk-in clinic where a person can talk about things right away might have been a great help for her son Robbie when he was struggling before his suicide. Yashinskie makes it clear that the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre does not do therapy. Rather, its free services are geared to help those feeling stressed or in crisis to develop coping skills. The Centre has seen 500 clients since 2013, with only nine having been referred directly to hospital. Most of its clients are between the ages of 16 and 30, with little or no income and no health benefits. They also do not have anything

that is can be diagnosed; they are just struggling with life. “We have become the place for people who don’t have anywhere to go to come to,” Yashinskie told the Lorne Sutherland Women’s Institute members in her presentation to the group. The centre has recently introduced a grief and loss program. Thanks to United Way funding, a grief counsellor has been hired for the program. The centre also has a peer support group for parents with children facing mental health challenges. This group provides a forum where these parents can talk to other parents in similar situations. The centre currently sees about 170 clients a month. It also receives about 200 calls a month from those seeking help.

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SUCH A GIFT. THROUGH THEIR FAMILY FOUNDATION, DAVE AND ANN TRICK ARE BRINGING SOME MAGIC TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT CHEO. Dave and Ann Trick are so proud of their nine grandchildren. Over the years, many of the Trick’s grandchildren have visited CHEO for everything from broken bones to tests and treatment for various health issues. Dave and Ann are grateful that today, they all are healthy! But that wasn’t always the case.

GRANDPARENTS DAY IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017. A gift to CHEO’s Grandparents Program, either as a grandparent or to honour special grandparents, will transform your gratitude into specialized care for all families who need CHEO. 18 West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 7, 2017

In 2011, their youngest granddaughter Emily suffered a stroke in-utero. She spent two weeks in CHEO’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to their interventions, and continued care through CHEO

and OCTC, Emily is thriving. For the Trick family, supporting CHEO was an easy choice. Dave and Ann established their foundation with one clear goal in mind: “We wanted to inspire philanthropy within our own family,” Dave explains.

“We are delighted to help provide an excellence in care that all grandchildren deserve,” says Ann.

A botanical gem near Philadelphia Learn all about Longwood Gardens at Garden Club meeting in Carp SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Over one million people visit every year. There are varied outdoor gardens and 20 indoor gardens. There’s a conservatory with 4,600 different types of plants and trees — and don’t forget the fountains on the property. This is all part of Longwood Gardens, one of the top horticultural displays and botanical gardens in the United States. Located at Kennett Square near Philadelphia, Pa., Longwood Gardens consists of 436 hectares of gardens, woodlands and meadows. Open year-round, it is known not only for its plants and horticulture, but for its events and performances, its seasonal themed attractions and its educational courses and workshops. Joshua and Samuel Peirce — great-grandsons of the original settler, George Peirce — began planting an arboretum that eventually covered 15 acres. The arboretum included trees and plants not only from the wild, but from some of the area’s botanists as well. By 1850, the arboretum had one of the finest collections of trees in the United States. Called Peirce’s Park, it was the site of community picnics and socials. However, as the 20th century dawned, the arboretum had been allowed to deteriorate and the farm passed out of the Peirce family. The trees were about to be cut down in 1906, before Pierre S. du Pont — an American businessman and philanthropist, and a member of the prominent du Pont family — purchased the property to preserve the trees. Within a few years, he added horticultural display gardens, continuing to develop the property until his death in 1954. He ensured that Longwood Gardens would be wellfunded going forward. Today, Longwood Gardens has outdoor gardens ranging from formal to natural; 20 indoor gardens within a 4.5 acre group of heated greenhouses; and a conservatory containing 4,600 different types of plants and trees, as well as fountains. More than one million visitors have seen Longwood Gardens each year since 2012. During his lifetime, du Pont developed such attractions as the 600-foot-long Flower Garden Walk, an Open Air Theatre, an Italian Water Garden and a five-acre Main Fountain Garden. Following his death, other features that have been added include the Waterlily Display, the Theatre Garden, the Wisteria Garden and the Peony Garden. Thousands of native plants were also added, including 10,000 rescued from the North Carolina mountains. In 2014, the new Meadow Garden showcasing native plantings and highlighting the relationship between the human and natural worlds was unveiled. That same year, Longwood Gardens undertook its largest project ever: the revitalization of its historic Main Fountain Garden. Outdoor gardens and garden features that can be found at Longwood Gardens today include the Chimes Tower and Waterfall, the Flower Garden Walk, the Forest Walk, the Hillside Garden, the Lookout Loft Treehouse, the Oak and Conifer Knoll, the Rose Arbor, the Rose Garden, the Topiary Garden and the Trial Garden. Longwood’s first conservatory was built in 1914, connecting old and new wings to the original farmhouse on the property. A second and larger conservatory was opened in 1921, and is considered one of the world’s great greenhouse structures. In 1993, the 100-foot-long Mediterranean Garden opened in the conservatory. In 2007, the Indoor Children’s Garden was opened in the conservatory. In 2010, an indoor green wall was added to the conservatory. With 47,000 plants, it was the largest green wall in North America when it opened. Although the focus at Longwood Gardens is on hor-

ticultural displays, it has taken steps to prioritize certain collections designated as core collections. These core collections include the Australian collection (plants native to Australia), the azalea collection, the boxwood collection, the chrysanthemum collection, the fern collection, the holly collection, the lilac collection, the magnolia collection, the South African collection (species and horticultural selections native to South Africa), the oak collection, the orchid collection and the waterlily collection. Longwood Gardens is also known as a performing arts venue for theatre troupes, Broadway-style musicals, choruses and bands. Longwood Gardens will be the subject of a presentation by Cathy and Michael Fournier at the Tuesday, Sept. 12 meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club at the Carp Submitted Memorial Hall. The meeting will get underway at 7:30 p.m. This meeting will also feature the fall flower and veg- The Longwood Gardens near Philadelphia is known for its array of fountains as well as its acres of flowers, plants and trees. etable show of the garden club.

The alpacas are coming, the alpacas are coming! It’s Alpaca Day at the Events Tent at the Carp Farmers’ Market this coming Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. You will be able to see alpacas from the Cheff Fields Farm and learn about alpaca wool and weaving from Catherine and Dwight Cheff. 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 colours. This is the wid-

est 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 three-quarters of a pound of a supplement per day. The average total fleece weight per alpaca is about five to 10 lb 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.

Hoping for a better fall Continued from 3

Due to the time it takes to organize charity and business tournaments, as well as the cash spent up front, it is nearly impossible to cancel one due to a forecast of rain. Munro says the rain doesn’t just affect his bottom line, but those who work at the course as well. When the course is operating at full capacity, he has about 21 employees working daily. “You’re trying to keep them on, but there is only so much cleaning you can do,” he said. “We’ve had to cut hours.” Munro says the Ottawa area golf industry as a whole has been in decline for around the last seven years, and this season may be the final nail in the coffin for some. “In 31 years as an owner, without a question, this is the worst season we’ve ever had including maintenance issues and financials,” he said. “It’s been a difficult year across the board for everybody. It’s going to be a devastating year for the golf industry as a whole.” It’s been a tough year for West Carleton cash crop farmers as well. Former West Carleton mayor Dwight Eastman

“Even when you got a few good days, the ground was so saturated you couldn’t get the machines on it.” - West Carleton cash crop farmer Dwight Eastman has been in the farm industry for most of his life. While he got his start in beef, for the last 10 years he has been producing cash crops. This year’s crops include hay, corn and soybean farmed on 500 acres and an additional 150 acres he farms with his son Darryl. “One of the crops important to us is our hay,” Eastman told the West Carleton Review Wednesday, Aug. 30. “This year we were three weeks to a month late cutting it. The delay made the hay a little more mature and it had a little less protein in it.” Not only was the quality down, so was the quantity. Finding enough rain-free time to cut and dry this season’s hay between 120 days of rain was a challenge, to say the least. This left many farmers unable to get a second cut this summer. Luckily for Eastman, he owns his own haying equip-

ment. Many other hay farmers in West Carleton hire contractors to do the cutting and bailing leaving themselves vulnerable to the rain as cutters scrambled to get their work done before the next rainfall. “Even when you got a few good days, the ground was so saturated you couldn’t get the machines on it, because they would sink,” Eastman said. Eastman says he was fortunate enough to get a second cut this season except for the hay on some of his un-drained fields. His corn and soybean crops faced other challenges. “We got them in early, but there was a little trouble with not enough heat units,” Eastman said. “If we have a warm fall and a late frost, we’ll be okay. It was a challenging year. We were praying for rain last year at this time.”

First place for West Carleton Electric SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

West Carleton Electric finished in first place in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League this season. The Fitzroy Harbour-based team had a record of 11 wins, six losses, and one tie, good for 23 points. The Micksburg Twins also finished the regular season with 23 points but West Carleton Electric was awarded first place as it had a better record against Micksburg in the regular season. The first-placed team gets a bye in the first round of the playoffs as the other six teams battle it out in various best-of-three series. In this first round of the playoffs, Micksburg,

the second-placed finishers, will play the 14C Victory team which finished in seventh place in the regular season. The Kars Aces, third-placed, are playing the Stittsville 56ers, the team which finished in sixth. Meanwhile, the Quyon Flyers will play the Ottawa Valley; Quyon finished in fourth place and the Ottawa Valley A’s placed fifth. The Kars Aces and Quyon Flyers both finished the regular season with 22 points but Aces were awarded third place as the Aces finished with 11 wins versus 10 wins for the Flyers. The number of wins was the determining factor over how the teams were placed in the final standings.

‘The Best Little Fair in Canada’ SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

It’s called “The Best Little Fair in Canada” and the 2017 Carp Fair should only reinforce this description. That’s because this year’s fair offers four days of entertaining fun, ranging from midway rides to musical entertainment to livestock shows to special events. This year’s Carp Fair runs from Thursday, Sept. 21 to Sunday, Sept. 24. The fair opens on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. with Toonie Night on the midway, in which each ride costs only two dollars. Thursday also sees the official opening ceremony while Gail Gavan and The Ryans will be providing the live mu-

sic at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena. Things really get rolling at the fair on Friday, Sept. 22 with the hunter show, the Clydesdale show, the Percheron show, the Belgian show, the 4H Dairy Achievement Day, the 4H Beef Achievement Day, an antique tractor parade, a horse pull in the show barn, and music in both the afternoon and evening in the arena. Saturday, Sept. 23 will feature a miniature horse show, a heavy horse show, a beef cattle show, a garden tractor pull in the show barn, a ceremonial parade at 12 noon, a strongman competition, and music in the arena both in the afternoon and the evening.

On Sunday, Sept. 24, events horse hitch classes, a Simmental will include a western horse show, an Angus show, and the show, a sheep show, the heavy 4H Horse Achievement Day.

Back to school time yet another reminder of Depression

etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought. That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies. For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would be allowed to wear them only for the

first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on! It was a Saturday. A week before school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me. The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school. There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first.

And not boy’s shoes.” Mostly, my shoes came in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina who only had two sons...no daughters, and you didn’t have to be too smart to see that they were decidedly boy’s shoes. Brown, they were, called brogues, with thick laces. I was the only one the shoes would fit. And I hated them with a passion. How I longed for a pair of girl’s shoes. Mother didn’t even answer, and I wondered if she heard me, so I asked again if she thought there might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy... as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering. Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time. “Mary, I know you’d like new shoes,

MARY COOK Memories but by the time we get the books the five of you need for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away. I never mentioned new shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose

grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing. My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning. I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

OPINION

Connected to your community

A new school year begins

n the day of school orientation I advised our Norwegian house guest that the "bus" would be leaving at approximately 7:30 a.m. The Farmer came downstairs as we were spreading liverwurst on toast at about 7:05 a.m., used a shoehorn to put his shoes on and pulled on a dress jacket. Mina shot me a look of alarm. “Are we still leaving at 7:30 a.m.?!” she whispered. I reminded my husband that he didn’t have to leave just yet — and he assured us he had other things to do before hitting the road. The whole incident reminded me so much of my father. Dad used to give us an exit time — and then saunter out the door half an hour before that to back the car out of the garage and sit in the driveway. Mom would emerge from the bathroom, head in a towel, to gasp,

“Is he in the car?!” We were never late for anything if Dad was at the wheel. In most cases, we were at least 20 minutes early. I didn’t inherit that gene. The school year started for North Grenville after Dad’s birthday this year. In fact, his 76th birthday fell on the Labour Day holiday. He would have been pleased to have one more day of summer vacation before having to don a suit and head to the science lab and classroom. He did not enjoy the years when school started before his birthday. Sometimes he didn’t even show up. For a few years now I’ve watched many of my friends seeing their kids off to university for the first time. I remember when my eldest flew the nest. It’s a time of transition for the whole family. Mom and Dad have to learn to let go, and the other siblings left behind have to discover a whole new way

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife

of being, on their own. Every time I hear of a young man or woman going off to school, I think of it as an extremely positive thing. It’s such a huge accomplishment, for the whole family. The student has earned entry into the institution through hard work and achievements. The family has found a way to finance the whole deal. And finally, Mom and Dad, you have given your child the confidence and independence they need to take this next step. Good for all of you. When I was 19, in 1987, I was nowhere near ready to go to university. I had been accepted into Carleton U’s honours journalism program, and Grandma said I could stay with her, because I just couldn’t picture myself

in residence. Before I had to make a move, however, another option came along and within weeks I found myself married and waitressing in Ottawa. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I had had the guts to stick to my original plan and go to school instead of hooking up with a man 13 years my senior and becoming a wife instead. But then again, there isn’t much value in wondering "what if." My impulsive nature and rash decisions led to a fairly entertaining if not very peaceful 13-year marriage, and three beautiful daughters (and one granddaughter). I wouldn’t change the past if it meant not having them. The beginning of a new school year brings back so many memories for me, both as a nervous student and an anxious mother. I remember the first day of Grade 6, when I was informed by another student that my homemade yellow T-shirt did not "go" with my homemade brown skirt.

I remember my just-turned-fouryear-old in 1997 asking me if she could go to school like her older sisters, and having to make that difficult decision. She did very well, although her first teacher report advised that I “send more snacks” because my little one was a nervous eater and liked to explore the other lunch bags in the locker-room. Maybe I should have had more store-bought snacks at home. I was a stay-at-home mom, so there were really no packaged snacks at home and my girls had a kind of fascination with them as a result. Being a parent can be a whiteknuckle ride at any stage of the game. As you send your kids off to school, whether it is kindergarten, university or anywhere in between, say a quick prayer over their heads and know that your love has equipped them with the tools they need to succeed.

Eggplant mint relish would be a tasty addition to any table This eggplant, tomato and mint relish is a great way to add variety to your antipasto platter.

The beaks of birds are the most modified structures in the animal kingdom. These multifunctioned tools act as pincers, drills, crushers, filters, daggers, rippers and slicers. They serve as grooming tools and fishnets. They hack open trees and deliver food to helpless young. Of all the bills owned by local birds, one stands out as being most unusual. When you first see it, you would be forgiven for thinking that its owner flew into a brick wall or had a genetic deformity. That is because, unlike the bills of most birds, the tips of its beak don’t meet. Instead, they cross over and independently project into the air. That bill belongs to the crossbill. There are two species of crossbills and both occur sporadically in our area. Red crossbills have black wings, but only the males are red; the females are green. The sexes of white-winged crossbills also bear different colours (males are pink, females are green). Both sexes bear bold, name-giving white bars on their black wings. Both crossbill species eat the seeds of conifers, which they extract with the use of their unusual bills. The first step to successful dining for a crossbill is to find the cones of a preferred tree (white pine for red crossbills and black spruce or white spruce for white-winged crossbills). Cones are often plucked from the branch and clenched tightly in one foot. A crossbill then inserts its crossed tips under the adjoining scales of a cone. It opens its bill sideways, the curved tips prying apart the scales. When the seed hidden beneath the scales is exposed, the bird’s long tongue extends in and plucks out the seed. Seeds are tough and hard to physically break down, even for the crossbill’s tough gizzard — a muscular organ lined with a tough cuticle con-

Red Crossbills have unusual bills that create problems when picking grit from roads. taining sharp projections. To help the gizzard do its job, crossbills swallow small stones and grit. When the gizzard’s muscular walls contract, those items help it function like a gristmill. Grit is often picked up from gravel roads where crossbills and other finches fall victim to speeding cars. Red crossbills, like their close relatives, are nomadic and move widely to find huge seed crops, delaying nesting until they find one. Their courtship songs are strange things, sounding to me like tiny mechanical toys being wound up. Because of their dependency on large seed crops, crossbills delay nesting until one is found and thus are known to nest in almost every month of the year. While resident red crossbills eat pine seeds, a smaller-billed race from the Rockies dines on hemlock seeds. Recently, this race appears to have moved into our area and can be seen dining on spruce seeds. The approaching seasons should be alive with both species of crossbills, because most species of conifers are currently laden with cones. If you see a crossbill, be sure to watch how it expertly uses its oddly-shaped bill to extract seeds from the cones. For these birds, a messed-up bill works just fine.

‘Dief the Chief: October 62’ being presented at Diefenbunker SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Diefenbunker in Carp takes its name from John Diefenbaker, who was prime minister of Canada during its construction. Yet he never visited the site, apparently upset that his wife Olive could not accompany him there if there were a nuclear war threat. But this month, Diefenbaker will be at the Diefenbunker, not, of course, in person since he died in 1979, but cer-

tainly in a visual dramatization called Dief the Chief: October 62. This will be a theatrical experience written by playwright Pierre Brault who is known for writing and performing award-winning historicallybased shows. This will be yet another as Dief the Chief: October 62 will involve a dramatic journey through October 1962 when the world seemed to be on the brink of nuclear war due to the Cuban missile crisis. You will see

the crisis through Diefenbaker’s eyes, travelling through the Diefenbuker as the world watches the U.S.A. and the USSR face off in this Cuban missile crisis. You will hear in Dief’s own words about his rocky relationship with American President John F. Kennedy. Indeed, this dramatic performance will allow those in attendance to have a unique opportunity to relieve these moments in history from 1962. Dief the Chief: October 62 will be presented at the Diefenbunker on 13 occasions ranging from Thursday, Sept. 14 through Saturday, Sept. 23. Performances will be on Thursday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m.; Friday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. and again at 9 p.m.; on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 2 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.; on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.; on Friday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.; and on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 2 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. The cost of tickets is $35 per person plus tax. Space is limited so early purchase of tickets is recommended. The production is the creation of Pierre Brault, a veteran actor, writer, director and producer whose work has appeared on virtually every stage in Ottawa as well as elsewhere across Canada. He is best known for writing and performing award winning, historically-based, one-man plays based on historical figures. These have included Blood on the Moon about Patrick Whelan, the man hung for assassinating D’Arcy McGee; Portrait of an Unidentified Man about notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory; and 5 O’Clock Bells about guitar genius Lenny Breau. In these, Brault brings history to life and the same will be true for Dief the Chief: October 62.

Pierre Brault has received two best actor awards from the Ottawa and Montreal Critics’ Circles as well as the inaugural Audrey Ashley Award for his body-of-work contribution to the Ottawa theatre scene. He served as playwright-in-residence at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa in the 2006-2007 season. John George Diefenbaker served as the 13th prime minister of Canada from June 1957 to April 1963. He grew up in Saskatchewan and after brief service in World War 1, he became a noted criminal defence lawyer. He contested elections throughout the 1920s and 1930s before finally being elected to the House of Commons in 1940 where he remained until his death in 1979. In 1957, he led the Progressive Conservative party to its first electoral victory in 27 years, following it up with another electoral victory in 1958 which resulted in an overwhelming majority for the Tories. As prime minister, Diefenbaker appointed the first female cabinet minister in Canadian history. He also appointed the first Aboriginal member of the Senate. During his tenure as prime minister, his government passed the Canadian Bill of Rights and granted the vote to First Nations and Inuit peoples. In foreign policy, his stance against apartheid helped secure the departure of South Africa from the Commonwealth. He is also remember for his 1959 cancellation of the Avro Arrow project and it was his indecision on whether to accept Bomarc nuclear missiles from the United States that led to his government’s defeat in 1963. When the Cuban missile crisis erupted in October 1962, Kennedy chose not to consult with Diefenbaker before making decisions on what actions to take. Kennedy sent a former ambassador to Ottawa to inform Diefenbaker as to the content of a speech that Kennedy was making on television about the crisis. Diefenbaker was upset at the lack of consultation and that fact that he was given less than two hours advance notice of the speech. He was also angered when the U.S. released a statement stating that it had Canada’s full support. The Cuban missile crisis did end without war with Kennedy’s actions in the crisis widely supported by Canadians. Diefenbaker was severely criticized in the media for his reactions in the crisis. This play Dief the Chief: October 62 is a collaboration of playwright and performer Pierre Brault with the Diefenbunker, known as Canada’s Cold War Museum. The John Curry/Metroland play is being held in partnership with Ottawa 2017 to celThis is the entrance building for the Diefenbunker ebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.

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

I have put an offer on the house a few days ago, which was accepted by the sellers. The agreement was made conditional upon satisfactory home inspection. The house was only built a few years ago and we are contemplating on going through without the home inspection and waiving this condition. What rights do we have if we discover some deficiencies in the house after the closing date? Let the Buyer Beware. The law in Ontario is pretty clear “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. A proper home inspection is therefore crucial for anyone buying a resale home. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation. Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal.

Warranties and Representations. FUNERAL, BURIAL AND CREMATION SERVICES ACT NOTICE OF DECISION

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to provide any warranties and representations to the buyer. The buyer might try to negotiate such warranties into the agreement of purchase and sale, however this is very rare.

The standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a resale home used by real estate agents, the OREA form 100, does not contain any warranties in regards to a physical condition of real estate property, except for a very limited warranty related to urea formaldehyde insulation. Consequently, there are no explicit warranties given by a seller to a purchaser when it comes to the condition of a home, unless such warranties are negotiated between the parties and added into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Home Inspection A proper home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is the best way to protect yourself from any unpleasant surprises. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, it is the only way to learn what you are buying and to make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of your lifetime. It gives you an opportunity to negotiate with the seller to repair all or at least some of the deficiencies prior to closing, to lower the purchase price or to decide not to proceed with the purchase.
