DINING OUT

in Rideau Township

g n i r Surviving the holidays u t a Fe Hosting family and friends for the holidays is a tall task. According to statistics, during the Christmas/New Year holiday period, the number of longdistance trips (to and from a destination 80 kms or more away) increases by 23 percent compared to the rest of the year. While many of those traveling will stay in hotels, many more will enjoy the hospitality of loved ones.

Holiday hosting can make an already hectic time of year that much busier, as hosts must prepare their homes for guests in the midst of holiday shopping excursions, office Christmas parties and social engagements around the neighborhood and at kids’ schools.

Holiday hosting does not have to run hosts ragged in the days leading up to guests’ arrival, is to plan a night out. Another way to make hosting friends and family for the holidays less taxing is to plan a night out for everyone. In lieu of cooking at home, dine out at an affordable, family-friendly restaurant before taking everyone to a local holiday light display or bazaar. This gets everyone out of the house and allows hosts to showcase their hometown pride.

The holiday season is full of traditions, and some hosts may feel beholden to tradition and offer to host each year. But family traditions are about getting together, not about getting together in a particular place each year. Holiday hosting is an enjoyable yet sometimes difficult task. Fortunately, local restaurants are here you help you feel like you are part of the family and not a waiter.

Community rallies to support Ruiter family after devastating fire ‘Ignore the rain, look at the rainbow.’

These words are inspiring both Peter and Rosemary Ruiter and the whole community in the aftermath of a devastating fire on September 8th that destroyed three barns, an 80-cow dairy herd and the livelihood of the Ruiter family. The landmark farm on Prince of Wales in Nepean was considered by many as a beacon of agricultural excellence for the community.

The community wants to show its support for the Ruiters in their time of need, and the Ruiters want to give thanks to their many friends, family and strangers who have shown such inspirited generosity. This celebration will take place on Saturday, October 14th at the North Gower Community Centre with the

‘Blackrapids Farmfest: An evening with the Ruiters’.

While the evening is expected to be a sellout, there is also a Go Fund Me page to assist the family with rebuilding their destroyed farm.

“The outpouring of generosity and help has been overwhelming. My family and I are so grateful,” says Peter Ruiter. “I just consider myself to be a regular guy who has always helped my neighbours and community as best I can. But this response has been… Well, it’s been humbling to say the least.”

The Ruiter farm on Prince of Wales Drive has been in the family since 1962. Last month, three barns were destroyed and 80 Holstein dairy cows were lost in a mid-day fire that had more than $1 million in damages.

When asked what his

plans are for the future, Ruiter responds, “It’s too early to make any big decisions just yet. We are still in clean-up mode and assessing the damage. There is a lot to consider and I am not going to make any rushed decisions.”

The evening will start with a quieter reception from 6 – 8 p.m. with coffee and desserts being served.

This time is to accommodate those who would like to drop by and visit, but can’t stay the whole evening.

From 8 – 9 p.m. there will be speeches and a live auction, followed by a dance, buffet and silent auction. Admission is free, however donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.

“Our goals for the evening are two-fold,” explains Wyatt McWilliams, event co-chair. “One is to

raise as much money as we can to help Peter and Rosie recoup their losses.

And two, is to show our support from the community for which they have helped so much.

They have always been there whenever the community needed something, now it’s our pleasure to be there for them.”

Anyone wishing to support this event with an item for the live or silent auctions may do so by contacting Jane Schoones at JSchoones@rogers. com. Donations are also being accepted through https://www.gofundme.com/ruiter-familybarn-fire-recovery.

The event is being organized by a committee made up of representatives from the many service organizations that

This year, the children covered by OHIP in the program are those with 2013 birthdays. If a child needs glasses, they will receive a complimentary pair donated by Nikon Lenswear, OGI and the participating optometrist.

The estimated value of the glasses is over $250.

Each year, thousands of children start school without ever having an eye exam, even though 80 per cent of learning comes directly through vision. In fact, children who cannot see the board, focus on a picture or follow words in a book may struggle to achieve their full learning potential.

They built their practice around the care of your eyes and your vision. And for the last six months, Barrhaven’s eyeDOCS optometry clinic has shown steady growth in the community.

Calling itself the premier full-service eye care clinics in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, eyeDOCS provides its customers with the highest quality eye care using the latest state of the art technologies. The Barrhaven location of eyeDOCS is the sixth in Ottawa, having opened in late May. The are located in Cedarview Square at Strandherd and Cedarview in the end unit location previously occupied by Snap Fitness.

“We have been steadily growing since we opened,” said Clinic Manager Nathalie Barjolin. “We have a good mix of existing and new patients. Some of our patients who lived in Barrhaven and came to our other locations are happy that we are now here in the community.”

The eyeDOCS team of optometrists have experience in a number of specialized fields such as sports vision, pediatric eye care, senior eye care, night vision testing, neo-natal, cataract removal followup, contact lenses, binocular vision, and other services.

“Full comprehensive eye exams are at the core of what we do,” said Barjolin. “First and foremost, at eyeDOCS, we are optometrists.”

The eyeDOCS clinics can trace their roots back to the practice of Dr. Earl Whan in the late 1950s. In 1967, Drs. Roland des Groseilliers and Margaret Hansen-des Groseilliers pur-

chased the Billings Bridge Plaza location. To accommodate the growing practice, the Billings Bridge clinic saw two expansions in 1972 and 1978. In 1990, they built a new office that is still the home of the eyeDOCS Ottawa optometric clinic at 1285 Kilborn Avenue. In 1997, the eyeDOCS Westboro optometric clinic was established on Richmond Road in Westboro. To keep up with ever-increasing patient volumes, the Kilborn clinic was renovated in 2008 and again in 2016 to provide an inviting open-concept space, and the Westboro Clinic moved and doubled its size in 2010. To Ottawa’s growing communities, the eyeDOCS Kanata optometric clinic (located on March Rd.) and the eyeDOCS Riverside South optometric clinic (located on Limebank Rd.) were added in 2012 and eyeDOCS Preston was added in 2013. Their newest clinic, eyeDOCS Barrhaven, was opened in the spring.

Barjolin said the main goal of the Barrhaven clinic is to make parents in the community aware that their children are covered for eye exams through OHIP. “Our main goal is to always try and educate our patients of the importance of regular eye exams, and in doing so, also making parents aware that kids are OHIP covered once a year because a lot of parents are unaware of this,” Barjolin said. “Kids are covered for full comprehensive eye exams once per year through the age of 19 years.

A lot of parents don’t know that. It’s recommended that children first get their eyes tested when they turn six months, and then after they turn three, to get them tested once a year.”

Barjolin said that eyeDOCS also participates in the province’s Eye See Eye Learn program, which provides free eye glasses to

The IndependentCOMMUNITY Get A look at the “big picture” of Barrhaven at Fall Open House

I’m certainly grateful for the summer weather we finally have enjoyed. What a shock, although I liked it, it was nice to wake up to a cool breeze.

As most of you with hockey girls and boys know, tournaments have started!

Last weekend Robert was in North York with his Raider’s Minor Pee Wee AA team and Jonah was in the east end at Richcraft SENSplex with his Raider’s Minor Bantam Black team. I was thinking this morning of the financial decisions all parents and grandparents make in order to support their children in sporting activities of all kinds. Worth it... heck yes. Thanks to all the League presidents, convenors, coaches and managers who give their time and talent to us. We are fortunate indeed to have such strong associations all year round.

Last week west end colleagues and I launched our new Ambassador campaign. Once again we will assist the Queensway Carleton Hospital raise money and awareness for a new mental health unit.

The campaign is called Hope Rising. Please support us over the next year.

We are Ambassadors Raising Hope and are proud to join Honourary Co-Chairs Chris and Erin Phillips.

My Fall Forum Open House will be held on October 24th from 5pm to 8pm at Cedarview Golf Club at 56 Cedarhill Dr. This year’s event will be a little different. Whereas in the past my team has always invited Bylaw, OC Transpo, Ottawa Police, Parks and Rec, Fire Services etc., this year we will be providing information regarding planning applications and road infrastructure. I am focusing on Big Picture info for Barrhaven.

I hope to see you there.

INDEPENDENT Editorial

What’s missing in Ontario’s approach to marijuana distribution Ontario deserves some credit for forging ahead with guidelines for its legal marijuana distribution system, but the province’s plan is filled with ambiguities and unknowns.

Ontario is the first province to define how it intends to sell non-medicinal marijuana to the public. About 150 stores across the province will be operated by a division of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO).

Ontario has set the minimum legal age for purchasing marijuana at 19.

But there are few specifics on pricing or costs. The government was completely tight-lipped on many facets of a highly complex marijuana puzzle.

Most important, no consideration has been given to edible cannabis products or how these products will be marketed.

Nor have guidelines for home cultivation and use been contextualized, especially for households with children. Cooking at home with marijuana, for example, can be tricky.

What’s more, the food service industry and restaurants were not even mentioned in the announcement.

So how will legalizing marijuana for recreational use affect food in general? The province says it won’t allow edibles, for now. But the black market will fill the gap and may impact everything the province is trying to achieve in mitigating public risk.

Since the federal government’s announcement that marijuana would be legalized starting July 2018, several food companies, processors and distributors have been considering commercializing cannabis-infused products.

Edible products are tremendously popular in other markets where marijuana is legal. In some U.S. states, consumers can purchase a variety of marijuana-infused food products, from fudge, cookies and brownies to hard candies, gelato and gummy bears.

Some food products, like brownies, have long been a staple of cannabis coffee shops in some parts of the world. But the new products are quite different and may be deceiving. They’re skillfully produced and packaged to closely mimic popular candies and other sweets.

Making cannabis more readily available to children, especially in edible forms, represents significant risks. Research shows marijuana use can damage children’s brain development. It can also harm fetuses when used by pregnant women.

Failing to establish a policy framework related to edibles, or pretending the problem doesn’t exist, will only lead to more future challenges.

The food service industry is considering its options but it needs some government policy clarity. Risks associated with the use of marijuana in food haven’t been clearly articulated.

Governments may see the legalization of recreational marijuana as a new, substantial source of revenue. That revenue will likely motivate Ontario to reconsider its options related to marijuana food products.

But as the province grows its addiction to marijuana tax revenues, and as it no doubt adds retail outlets, it should develop clear guidelines for edible products, and for marijuana as a food ingredient for domestic use.

Otherwise, the underground market will fill the gap and that’s hardly a desirable outcome.

No room for bullies in our world of ‘Faith, Family, Football’

HEARING FREEDOM We are a football family.

We live, eat, sleep and breathe it. When I was a young girl and pictured what my family would look like, I never really thought I would be a “Football Mom”. But here we are going into Year 8 of being on the field. We even have a plaque in the house that says “FAITH, FAMILY, FOOTBALL”. I have come to appreciate the discipline and integrity of the game. I love that the coaches are hard on the boys. I love that they are being taught how their actions affect those around them. I love how the coaches don’t tolerate the kids chatting amongst themselves when they are addressing the team. Such valuable life lessons. It’s impossible to wake up one day and think, “Today I am going to teach the kids how to respect and honour each other.” But they are learning it. You can see it in them. And these are boys who are growing up to be men in our community. They are the future.

However, with everything amazing, there is an ugly side. And it showed itself more than ever before at a recent game.

THROUGH THE EYES OF

THE DIVA

stop thinking about this incident and how inappropriate it was. How the actions of these few people tainted the experience for not only those around them, but for the players. These kids are out on the field doing THE BEST they can. Every single one of them came out to play. To work hard and do their best. Not one of them woke up on Game Day thinking…I am going to fumble that ball today if it’s the last thing I do.

Then I realized with absolute clarity how to handle this situation in the future. These people are bullies. We are supposed to stand up to bullies. Everyone talks about it, but how many of us actually DO IT? We need to call these bullies out. I am calling these bullies out.

I have watched the large group of boys in the “Team Huddle” at the end of the game for years. Listening to the words of wisdom from the coaches. I have seen many smiles, lots of frustration and many, many tears. The boys take this game seriously. They want to win. They want to make their team proud.

They talk about every play, every throw, every

tackle from every single game over and over and over again. Reliving every moment. It’s important to them.

And it’s important to the parents. I feel for my kids or their teammates when they drop a pass or throw an interception.

I’m excited and happy for them when they make a great throw, make a big tackle, or go for a long run with the ball. I watch them for hours at practice, all the time spent on the field learning plays and running routes. And the conditioning…that’s a lot of really hard work. So much running to prepare for the season, in full equipment.

It’s not an easy sport. It requires a huge commitment. And my job as a parent is to support my child and the team. I will sit there and cheer from the sidelines, in the boiling hot and freezing cold.

I will be there in the rain and snow and SUPPORT the team. I will be positive and know that the kids are doing their best.

I will remember that: 1. These are kids 2. This is a game 3. Coaches are volunteers 4. Referees are human 5. This is not the Grey Cup.

is what’s best for You! I arrived at our field on a gorgeous day ready to cheer on my son and his team. I set up my chair and chatted with some of the parents. I took a moment to look over at a huge sign that has been placed at the entrance of the field. It said:

Poilievre vows to fight tax changes that will hurt local farms, businesses More than 300 people attended a town hall meeting at the Nepean Sportsplex and voiced their displeasure over proposed tax changes that will hit small businesses and farms.

The Carleton Conservative MP, who also serves as the Finance Critic in the Tories’ Shadow Cabinet, has been vocal against the changes for the past month.

“The Liberals’ radical tax hikes are going to have a devastating impact on Canadian small business owners and farmers,” he said.

“People like the dairy farmer in Richmond, the dry cleaner in downtown Ottawa, and the dentist studying abroad who doesn’t want to return home to open a practice. These people spent years building their businesses. Now they feel like

Justin Trudeau is treating them as nothing more than tax cheats. We think they’re the backbone of the Canadian economy.

We should be asking how we can help them grow and succeed, not how we can tax them out of business.”

Poilievre said that a “massive new tax” will hit the passive investment income of small businesses. The new change will see this income taxed at 50 per cent, with an additional tax of 23 per cent when that money is taken out of the company.

“That will mean a tax of 73 per cent of your passive investment income if you are a small business owner,” he said. “For small businesses, this is money used for things like pensions and maternity.”

Poilievre also said

that major changes to succession planning will be harmful to small businesses, especially farms. He said that the sale of a business will no longer be able to be

considered a capital gain.

“Because of the changes to sales of businesses, it will be more beneficial for a farm owner to sell to a complete stran-

ger than it would be to sell to his own children,” he said. “That is a threat to a way of life for rural farm families. I will fight against these taxes.”

Poilievre said there

has been a big backlash to these changes, including from some Liberal MPs. He is hopeful that the government will back down on these changes.

Pierre Savard students help with unveiling of Chapman Mills West Forest signs Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the unveiling of the interpretive signs at the Chapman Mills West woodland, alongside the Ottawa Stewardship Council and Pierre Savard School. The students and staff of the school were a fundamental community partner in making many of the improvements possible. This woodlot will be enjoyed by the entire community for many years to come, as it is truly a natural treasure in the Barrhaven area. I hope that this will inspire other schools and groups to take on similar projects in the future.

Drinking-Water Quality Remains High in Ottawa

Last week, the Environment Committee received a report which shows that Ottawa continues to produce and deliver some of the highest quality and safest drinking water in the world. For the fifth year in a row, the City’s drinking water systems were rated as 100% in conformance with the quality manage-

ment system by a third party accreditation body.

By adopting new procedures, the City has also decreased the amount of time residents are without water service during water main breaks. For more information on these services, please visit Ottawa.ca.

Staff Report Highlights Strong Local Economy and Healthy Employment Rate

Last week the City’s Planning Committee received the 2016 Annual Development Report which is an overview of demographic and economic statistics for the city. It showed that Ottawa continues to have a strong economy with a healthy supply of jobs and general economic stability. A few key highlights from this report include; A population growth of 0.8 per cent in 2016 to an estimated 968, 580 residents and we saw more than 5, 800 people move to the City in 2016.

Ottawa’s unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.3 per cent which is lower than the 6.5 per cent provincial rate and the seven-per-cent national rate.

Grade: 10 Parents: Cathy & Joel Deschenes Brothers: Daniel (23), Graduated from Brock University, employed

by Brock University and Sioux City Hockey Team as a Hockey Scout. Josh (20), graduated from Durham College, employed by Good Life Fitness.

Pet: Male Crimson Bellied Conure Parrot – named Storm Pet Peeve: “People singing, that can’t sing!”

Part-time Work: “In the winter months I volunteer with the Manotick Curling Club – Little Rocks Program. I love teaching the youth about the sport I love.

Between all the curling events I attend, I do my best to help out as much as I can. This year I plan to help out more.”

Favourite Subjects: Physical Education What do you enjoy reading for pleasure?

“I mostly read sports magazines and online articles about curling and other sports. I love to read about upcoming events, who are the favorites and under-

dogs, and then during events, I really like following the editors and see how things play out.”

Who is your favourite author? “My favorite author is Mary Shaw.

I have ready all of the “Brady Brady” books, and really enjoyed them.”

Accomplishments: “Last season my Curling Team went to the U18 Provincial Curling Championships and we placed 2nd overall. We were very happy with our placement, as most of our team was only 14 years old at the time. In June of 2017, I entered a contest with the Ottawa Valley Curling Associated and was one of 72 youth curlers selected to be a Junior Star at the Roar of the Rings Olympic Qualifier – be held at the Canadian Tire Centre this coming December.”

and focus on and off the ice for curling.”

Comment: “I attended St. Mark High for grade 7 and 8. I was very fortunate to be accepted into the HPA (High Performance Athletes) Program at John McCrae. When I’m away for curling events, the program offers accommodations by adjusting dates for any test or exams. As well, I’m provided with a driver to and from school every day. Without the support of this program, it would be very difficult to focus on my competitive curling outside of school.”

John McCrae Secondary School student Emily Deschenes won a silver medal at the Ontario Provincial U18 Curling Championships last year.

The IndependentSPORTS

Biggest play of Iloki’s career helps Ravens hold onto Pedro “If I get tackled, my mom’s not going to be too proud of me right now,” says Barrhaven star of his Panda Game TD

By Jeff Morris As Barrhaven native Phil Iloki raced down the north sideline at TD Place Stadium, he knew that it was more than a last-minute touchdown.

It was a play that put the third year Carleton Raven on the map as one of the best and most dangerous wide receivers in Canadian university football.

Iloki caught the pass from quarterback Michael Arruda and outran two Ottawa Gee Gees defenders into the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown.

The Carleton University fans at the sold-rightout TD Place Stadium jumped and cheered as Iloki raced past them. It was the biggest play in the biggest game of the year for the Ravens. For Iloki, it was the biggest play of his young career.

For football fans in Ottawa, it looked like a carbon copy of the famous Henry Burris-to-Greg Ellingson pass that put the Redblacks in the 2015 Grey Cup. It was a similar pass, a similar reception, and a tocudown run along the same sideline

and into the same end zone.

“We have the best quarterback in the country, and he just made a play,” Iloki said after the game. “He juggled the ball a little bit in the backfield. He trusted me enough to put it up, and I was able to make a play.”

For the football community in Barrhaven, no one is surprised by Iloki’s body-twisting, juggling catch at full speed.

As a member of the Nepean Redskins – now the Eagles – Iloki made big plays like that on a regular basis.

Iloki led all receivers in the Panda Game with four catches for 131 yards. In the Ravens’ previous game, against the Waterloo Warriors, Iloki led all receivers with 145 yards and a 72yard touchdown. After five games, Iloki is fifth among Ontario University Athletics receivers with 470 yards.

The biggest reception of his career, however, was not a designed play.

Iloki was humble in trying to credit Arruda for the play.

“It was a 50-50 ball,”

Iloki said. “We made it work. I’m not going to lie to you, it’s one of those plays where you close your eyes and hope the ball sticks to your fingers.

The credit goes to Mike and to the team. They were so resilient. There were a lot of ups and downs.”

Iloki said that as he ran down the sidelines, he saw himself on the scoreboard jumbotron.

“I saw their player fall down, and I was watching as I was running to see how close they were,” he said. “I thought for a moment, ‘Oh, this is awkward. I think they’re going to catch me.’ I was running as fast as I can thinking, ‘Aw man, if I get tackled, my mom’s not going to be too proud of me right now.’ I got in, and it was exciting.”

Iloki said one of the challenges that receivers from both teams had to deal with was the noise level. Almost 25,000 boisterous fans jammed into the stadium.

“It was my first time playing with noise like that,” he said. “I don’t know how NFL or even CFL players do it. You

have to keep looking at the ball because you can’t hear the snap count.”

The Ravens travel to London this weekend to take on the powerful Western Mustangs. They are heavy underdogs this weekend, and they will follow that one up with a pair of must win games for a shot at the playoffs.

“As crazy as this Panda Game is, it’s still only two

points,” Iloki said. “This was a momentum game.

We have to keep on going and take on what’s next.”

Notes – Iloki was not the only Barrhaven native involved in the Panda Game Saturday. Another former Nepean Redskins star, Ettore Lattanzio of the Ottawa Redblacks, was involved in the coin toss during the game’s opening ceremonies.

Lattanzio was a star defensive lineman for the Ottawa Gee Gees during his USports career… If you want to see Phil Iloki and the Ravens in action, they are at home Sat., Oct. 14 against the Toronto Varsity Blues. For tickets, visit goravens.ca.
