WAGE continues from page 1 “We should be grateful that there are any entrepreneurs.

They are the backbone of our economy.”

Ghamari played a clip of Liberal MPP Ann Hoggarth, who said that if business owners cannot afford to pay employees minimum wage, then they shouldn’t be in business.

“We can’t do anything about $14, but if we win, we would change next year’s planned hike and spread it out over four years, going up 25 cents per year,” said Ghamari.

Another point that was echoed through the forum was that the wage increase affected more than minimum

wage workers. If businesses had a tier of people at the $14 or $15 per hour mark, their wages would also have to be increased to keep a wage scale within the workplace.

The next forum in Ghamari’s Carleton Conversations series will take place March 1.

The topic will be hydro, but the location has yet to be determined.

Goldie Ghamari hosted a forum on small business issues in Stittsville Feb. 1.

It was part of her ongoing Carleton Conversations series.

Plans underway for 174th annual Richmond Fair Sept. 13-16 Preparations are already underway for the 2018 Richmond Fair.

This year’s fair will take place Sept. 13-16 and will include rides, games, the midway, five dog shows, six horse shows and much more.

The fair was among the topics of discussion at the Richmond Agricultural Society AGM, held at the Richmond Curling Club in January.

“Last year our Board began a new chapter of looking forward,” said Richmond Agricultural Society President David Brown. “We were blessed with extremely warm temperatures, no rain,

and we were led by a dedicated Board of Directors and committee volunteers.”

Brown was re-elected as the board’s President, while David Rea was elected first VicePresident and Bruce Bain was elected second VicePresident.

Brown recounted the successes of last year’s fair. He praised the junior directors for taking on more responsibilities, and he talked about how the livestock committees stepped forward to enter show results into Assist Expo. He also talked about how the volunteer café team embraced in-

novation and changed the way meals were offered to volunteers. Most importantly, last year’s fair was a financial success.

“After investing a significant amount of Society funds into capital upgrades, we took a breather which directly led to our Fair generating a profit,” said Brown.

“We compromised, acted positively and worked cooperatively. These are only a few of the successes that we experienced last year. All of this has added to the Fair’s legacy in our community. Our objectives should be the same this year.”

Manotick Messenger editor and publisher Jeff Morris was the keynote speaker for the evening.

Morris discussed the role the Messenger will play for both the fair and the community in the upcoming year as the community newspaper serving Richmond and South Carleton.

“The Manotick Messenger has covered the Richmond Fair through the years, as it is a major event for the entire region,” Morris said. “We are excited about the opportunity to be more involved in promoting the fair and increasing our coverage this year.”

The Richmond Agricultural Society elected its Board of Directors for 2018. From left to right are Dale Greene. General Manager/ Secretary; Janet Hawkins, Treasurer; Gerd Lohmann, Past President; Sheri Kavanagh, Homecraft President; David Brown, President; Bruce Bain, 2nd VicePresident; and Dave Rea, First Vice-President.

Rideau-GoulbournREPORT Open House on Barnsdale and Prince of Wales to be held Feb. 15 at RVCA The City of Ottawa is asking residents to weigh-in on how to spend more than $450,000 in the Vehicle-for-Hire Accessibility Fund. Residents can have their say by completing an online survey. The Vehicle-forHire Accessibility Fund Consultation Questionnaire is available on ottawa.ca from January 24 to February 16.

Money in the Vehiclefor-Hire Accessibility Fund is generated through a voluntary surcharge paid by private transportation companies (PTC), such as Uber Canada. The surcharge was implemented because many PTCs cannot currently accommodate persons who use mobility devices including power wheelchairs and scooters.

Money from the Vehicle-for-Hire Accessibility Fund will be spent to support accessible transportation in the city

TD Park Grant

The TD Park People grant program was created to support community groups to host events in urban parks or public green spaces.

Through this grant, TD hopes to lay the groundwork for long-term sustainable community partnerships in parks across each of the selected cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Ottawa). Groups who demonstrate the ability to successfully organize and host events, as well as sustain their group beyond this grant cycle, are encouraged to apply.

Their expectation is that successful applicants host at least three events between April and December 2018

YOUTH

School: Osgoode Township High

by Phill Potter

Grade: 12 Parents: Tania and Ron MacGillivray Brother: Duncan MacGillivray (4), Greely Elementary Sister: Fiona MacGillivray (7), Greely Elementary Part-time Work: “I’ve worked at Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm for over three years. I started off bussing tables, and then I became part of their wedding staff. This involved serving meals, setting up ceremonies, as well as directing guests around the venue.

This past year I became part of the kitchen staff, which means I assist in preparing and cooking meals.

This past summer I worked as an instructor at the the Adventures in Engineering and Science Summer Camp, which is run by the University of Ottawa. I worked with kids 4-13 years of age, where I would teach them the fundamentals of science. I currently work with the same organization, running clubs for teens to teach new technology. This includes laser cutting, coding, as well as work with arduinos and raspberry pi’s.”

Favourite Subjects: “My favourite subjects are Chemistry, Math, and Music. They challenge me, and they give me something to try and work towards (playing a song correct, or solving an equation). As well, there is always more I can learn in these classes. I really like that idea.

The teachers for these subjects are all very nice, and are extremely helpful. That makes those subjects enjoyable.”

What do you enjoy reading for pleasure?

“I enjoy reading science magazines, as well as articles that talk about the advancements happening in the world.”

Accomplishments: “I currently hold an over 90% average, 3rd place in OCDSB Senior Boys Backstroke, Lifeguard Certi-

fied, and 250+ volunteer hours.”

Activities/Interests: “I’m mainly involved with swimming – Certified Lifeguard, as well as a member of the OTHS Swim Team.

At last year’s OCDSB competition I placed third in Senior Boys 100m Backstroke.

I really enjoy music. I’ve been in the Music Program for all of high school. I play the clarinet, as well, I play piano outside of school.

Reach for the Top is a trivia group at our school that I am part of. We compete against other schools, testing our general knowledge through questions.”

Why did you get involved in what you do?

“I enjoy music in general. I really like helping to create something that sounds so amazing, along with the people also in-

A Morning On The Bus.....the ROSSS “Gateway to Groceries” bus that is!

By Tino Bevacqua On a recent sunny and frigid Friday morning the ROSSS bus arrived at my home exactly at the agreed time of 9:05 am. I was greeted by the friendly driver Greg Bungay and volunteer Pamela Brown.

Pam, a Richmond resident, has been volunteering on the bus since

its inception.

And so our drive began with our first pickup at Hyde Park where John was assisted into his seat. Then to the Richmond Lodge where Marie and Fred were helped on board.

Next to a Fortune St. address where Miki was assisted on and finally to the Goodwood Apts. where Chet was pa-

tiently waiting to board.

Normally there would be one or two more riders but today we had five very appreciative clients.

So with everyone buckled up and walking canes tucked away we were off. Our first stop was to the Scotiabank, as one needs money for purchases, and then to King’s Independent.

Along the way introductions, handshakes and interesting conversations were exchanged.

Eventually all the necessary groceries and other essential items (loto tickets!) were purchased, bagged and loaded onto the bus for the return trip home.

Once home again, I realized how valuable a service the bus offers.

Not only as a means to acquire essential needs, but also an opportunity for the clients to enjoy

a rare outing with conversation and interaction. Coupled with Pam’s helping hand to assist the riders where needed or simply to say, “good morning John, how are you feeling today?”.

The special touch of a volunteer can never be overstated but unfortunately there are never enough. When Pam is unable to work her shift the whole burden falls on Greg’s shoulders.

There is a need for one

or two more alternate volunteers to step in for Pam when she is unable to work. Hopefully someone will step up to offer a hand!

Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and the Richmond Village Association (RVA) have collaborated since Sept 2014 to offer this vital service to Richmond.

The service runs twice per month and is paid for by a City of Ottawa grant and RVA funds.

Rideau River ice breaking begins February 19 Rideau River flood control operations begin February 19 with the cutting of the keys, weather permitting. Ice breaking operations, including blasting, are set to begin March 3, weather and ice conditions permitting, on the Rideau River between Rideau Falls and Hog’s Back.

A Reminder to Parents and Teachers Ice breaking operations will create open water.

Children should be supervised at all times around water and should be warned of the dangers of open water.

The City, in partnership with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, undertakes ice breaking operations each year to alleviate possible spring flooding in flood-prone areas. Once started, these operations will be carried out daily, weather and ice conditions permitting.

Greg Bungay, ROSSS employee and Pamela Brown, ROSSS volunteer pose for a photo in front of the ROSSS bus. Senior residents and adults with physical disabilities in need of free transportation to and from the grocery store and other essential services can register at 613-692-4697. Anyone wanting to volunteer can also call the same number.

All residents are asked to keep away from the river until operations are completed.

Richmond heroine Maria Hill was a key figure for Upper Canada during the War of 1812 To honour Richmond’s 200th anniversary, local historian Marion Scott is posting factoids about the community’s rich history on her blog, Richmond Heritage. To see more of her facts, visit RichmondHub.ca.

Except for Laura Secord, we know very little about the role played by Canadian women in the War of 1812, and even less about their role in the early years of the Richmond Settlement. The exception is Maria Hill, wife of Sgt. Andrew Hill of the 100th Regiment of Foot. She was a true heroine in both settings. Having spent much of her life living in army barracks, Maria was one of the wives who routinely accompanied the troops as they traveled across Upper Canada. She

cooked and cleaned for them and nursed their wounds on the battlefield. John Curry, Kurt Johnson and the researchers at the Goulbourn Museum have been investigating Maria’s actions and tried to separate fact from fiction. You may find more information in their writing.

At a time when she could have been safely living in barracks with the other women and children, Maria was trudging around the Niagara Peninsula.

Amid the chaos, bloodbath and heartbreak

of the battlefield she assisted the surgeons and helped care for the wounded and bodies of the dead. The 100th Regiment experienced victories like the capture of Fort Niagara but also defeats, non greater than the Battle of Chippawa. At Chippawa the British force was out manned 2000 to 3500 by the Americans. Casualties were high. In her old age, Walter Shanly recorded how she remembered the fate of the leaders.

“With graphic energy she described the scene in the hospital tent, and

the carrying in, in rapid succession of bleeding soldiers. She called over the names of officers whose wounds she helped to bandage, and told of the terrible cutting up of her own regiment in particular; poor young lieutenant Fortune carried in dead; colonel Hamilton, seriously hurt, captain Sleigh, badly wounded, and so on.”

Maria also said that she would never forget the evacuation from the Niagara frontier. “The wounded who could be moved, the invalids, and the women were

sent to Cornwall….

She described the sufferings endured, the dragging and jolting of the waggons; the guard marching sometimes ankle deep in mud for weary days and nights around Burlington Heights, and so on, on, and on along the shore

of lake Ontario, until at last Cornwall was reached late at night.”

From his interview in 1881, Shanly wrote that Maria was “always with the army” and in her own words she was a “soldier all through”.

Her bravery was indeed equal to her loyalty.

PHARMACY Q: What is Osteoporosis?

A: Osteoporosis is described as a loss of bone strength causing brittle bones that are vulnerable to fractures. Our bones reach maximum density around age 30. As we continue to age from Paul Brooks there, it is important to maintain Pharmacist bone health by choosing weightbearing exercises, getting adequate calcium and vitamin D, avoiding smoking, excess alcohol or caffeine, and getting bone density screenings when suggested. If you are diagnosed with osteoporosis, your doctor may prescribe medicine to decrease the rate of bone deterioration. It is important to be compliant over many weeks, months and years to minimize fracture risk or further bone reduction.

LEGAL SERVICES Q: This past weekend, I signed up to buy a home from a builder, who has given me a bunch of paperwork and forms for me to review. What should I do?

A: Congratulations on entering the world of home ownership. Quickly get to a lawyer who will help you review Michelle Perry the agreement and other paperwork and explain to you what you have B.A.,LL.B. committed to. If you have signed the agreement and the builder has allowed you to make it conditional on lawyer approval, the need for early input from a lawyer is clear. Regardless, in order to close the deal there is work that your lawyer will need to attend to. Why not get to them early in the process? In addition, your lawyer can review the role of the Ontario New Home Warranty Program in protecting your interests. Most of all, they can explain to you all of the ins and outs of the home purchasing process to help make moving day a painless (and even enjoyable) experience!

VETERINARY SERVICES Q: What are some food allergy myths? Shouldn’t food allergies cause intestinal signs?

A:

In pets, it is usually the skin that suffers with a food allergy.

Food allergy is one of the itchiest conditions in veterinary dermatology.

Making matters worse is the fact that Dr. Andrew Sparling food allergies tend to be resistant to D.V.M. cortisone therapies which makes itch control especially difficult.

If an animal does not get better fully with a food trial it means that food is not the issue?

False - animals usually have a combination of food and inhalant allergies. A true hypoallergenic food trial will only help against the food allergies which would therefore only create a partial control for the patient depending on the inhalant allergens and the time of year.

Ask your veterinary team about allergies to get all the important information for your pet.

DENTAL SERVICES

TRAVEL SERVICE

Q: How can you help reduce decay & sensitivity?

Q: Why should I book my vacation with Maritime Travel?

A: Healthy food such as vegetables and nuts, are good for both your general and oral health. The nutrients that come from healthy foods help to fight cavities and gum disease.

Limit how much and how often you consume foods and beverages that contain sugar. Sugar is one of the main causes of dental decay.

Limit your consumption of foods and beverages (such as citrus fruit and soda drinks) that are high in acid. The acid may play a part in causing dental erosion, which can lead to sensitivity and decay.

For more information, please contact your dental office.

MacLeod named shadow finance critic, will not run for leadership

By Charlie Senack Manotick Messenger After a week of turmoil in the Ontario Conservative Party, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod held a free pizza party at the Barrhaven Boston Pizza alongside Bill Walker, MPP for Bruce-Grey and Owen Sound.

During Walker’s visit to Ottawa, he toured multiple long term care homes alongside MacLeod, including the Perley-Rideau Veterans complex in the East end.

“I wanted to see them because they’re such a different model and I have a real affinity for veterans so I wanted to see how that worked and what it was about,” Walker told the crowd during the pizza party.

On Tuesday Jan, 30, they visited the Osgoode Care

Centre alongside Councillors George Darouze and Scott Moffatt.

The original purpose of the party was to celebrate another successful turkey swap, a campaign MacLeod was a part of where people could drop off a turkey to the Barrhaven Boston Pizza location in return for a free pizza voucher.

There goal was to receive 100 turkeys in 2017, a goal they surpassed by early December.

Many of the questions that came up during the two hour-long party included whether MacLeod would run for Ontario PC Leader.

MacLeod said during the event that she still did not make up her mind.

“A lot of Ottawa residents have been encouraging me to run as have been people from across

Ontario,” MacLeod told the Messenger. “The rules have not been set and we are not quite sure when or how long this leadership will be.”

She said Marjory LeBreton, former Government Leader of the Senate and

Senator Vern White — alongside others — were looking into her options and would get back to her.

The next day she announced she would not run for party leader, and interim leader Vic Fedeli announced MacLeod

would become the new Finance Critic.

The Ontario PC party has announced it will hold its vote for new party leader on March 10th.

One party goer asked MacLeod if she felt having a female as party leader

would help the Conservatives win the election.

“I think we need to have a strong leader (because) we have a lot of problems we need to clean up not just in this party, but in this province,” MacLeod responded.

Greely Winter Carnival was another success thanks to GCA, volunteers The Greely Winter Carnival hosted by the Greely Community Association (GCA) was a resounding success this year! The weather co-operated, the crowds came out to enjoy the Firefighter’s Pancake Breakfast, the Greely Lions Family Brunch, tryouts for Greely Idol, skating, sleigh rides, and so much more! It was a family-oriented weekend of fun, well planned and organized, and executed by the GCA and many volunteers. The Greely Idol, which joined the Greely Winter Carnival 10 years ago, is always a continuing support and great showcase for local talents. Each year there is a Junior and a Senior Idol winner; this year I proudly gave them each a basket filled with goodies!

Congratulations to Senior Idol winner Nayana Kathleen and Junior Idol winner Anyssa Ricci, and to all those that participated in Greely Idol!

WARD REPORT

by Councillor George Darouze

was a sell out once again.

The buffet by Orchard View Wedding and Event Centre was incredible as usual, with not only visually pleasing presentation, but incredible tasting food as well. I would like to thank the Volunteer Firefighters for putting on a great pancake breakfast, and the Greely Lions for the family brunch on Sunday. They were a huge hit! Matt Tucker and the Greely 1st Scouts also deserve a round of thanks for volunteering to help clear tables and helping the Lions with the brunch.

Over 200 people came out to enjoy an assortment of delicious breakfast items, and enjoy the Radical Science demos taking place at the same time! It is wonderful to have such a great community turnout

and involvement from residents, volunteers and the GCA. Engaging in the community is vital to keeping it alive and vibrant! Well done everyone!

Manotick Shiverfest Winter Carnival

Manotick kicked off their Annual Shiverfest with a hearty breakfast by the local Kiwanis Club. It was nice to run into some of my constituents that belong to the club and were helping to make and serve the breakfast.

I was able to drop by later on at the Legion for their Annual Chili cook off, featuring many different home recipes for Chili. Once again, it was great to see some Ward 20 constituents participating and competing in a friendly way! The local youth group YOMA had a great variety of baked goodies for sale to help raise money for their youth programs. I didn’t stand a chance. I caved in and bought a pile of goodies!

Osgoode Care Centre Tour

It was insightful to have toured the Osgoode Care Centre with MPP Lisa MacLeod and MPP Bill Walker, who is also the Critic for Seniors, Long Term Care and Accessibility, as it brought the opportunity for him to see this great facility up close and in person. Being able to tour the facility, was a chance to ask questions and see how well run it is while still facing the struggle of funding constraints and the possibility of closing. This residence is essential to the Ward and future residents as it is the only one in the rural area, making it possible for residents of the facility to stay near their families and the farms that they grew up on.

The tour was a great opportunity for the OCC to connect with strong voices in the province that may be invaluable to preserving this rural institution.

Busting Out The Brews

The Annual Busting Out the Brews fundraiser for the Osgoode Care Centre brought in a phenomenal $80,000 this year, in large part due to sponsors and magnificent donations to the live and silent auctions.

The wonderful annual community event held at Stanley’s Olde Maple Farm provides the ticket holder with a chance to sample many local breweries, vineyards and restaurants. Once the sampling experience is over, the live auction begins.

The evening finished off with a live band. It is always a great crowd and everyone that purchases a ticket is supporting the Osgoode Care Centre re-development fund.

Thank you to all the organizers and volunteers that make this happen each year.

Open Door

This week was another busy time with community association representatives stopping

by, along with many residents. I am still seeing new faces and having the pleasure of getting to know a little more about residents that have come by to introduce themselves. It always makes for a very productive day in the Ward and I look forward to seeing more people again next time.

Remember, if you have not had a chance to meet yet, please drop in soon on any Tuesday from 1-5 in my Metcalfe office. You are more than welcome.

2951 Army Cadets Parade

Earlier this week I attended the Commanding Officer Parade for the 2951 RCACC Leitrim Cadet Corps, in attendance with the Osgoode Legion, families, and friends. I am very proud of the Cadet Corps for all their hard work, and I am glad I could offer my support.

I was also very humbled to receive a beautiful framed group photo from their recent Vimy trip.

Thank you!

New wing at St Francis Xavier High School includes 30 classrooms I was pleased to attend the New Wing Blessing Ceremony at St. Francis Xavier High School last week. It is great to see the school growing to accommodate new students in the community. His Grace, Arch Bishop Prendergast, led the blessing ceremony. The new wing includes 30 new classrooms, study and work areas for students and a great new art classroom. I would like to thank Principal Pedari, teachers and the parent council for including me in this celebration.
