Fly-In for breakfast at Carp Airport next Sunday, Aug. 7 Special to the EMC

EMC News - Feel free to drop in, drive in, even fly in for breakfast next Sunday.

That morning, the Ottawa Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) - Chapter 245 will host a FlyIn/Drive-In Breakfast on at the Carp Airport from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. – rain or shine.

(Details at www.eaa245.org/) The cost of breakfast is $6 and includes bacon, egg, toast, beans, tomatoes, coffee/ tea, and orange juice.

The small amount of funds raised from this annual event will go to towards the maintenance and upkeep of the chapter’s hangar and workshop at Carp Airport. However, the breakfast is also intended to encourage public awareness of sport aviation in the Ottawa area, attract new members to the chapter and to recreational flying and also as a meet and greet for pilots from the various airports in the surrounding area.

In previous years the Annual breakfast has attracted as many as 350 – 400 people for breakfast and as many as 100 aircraft from local airports all across eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

The EAA is “the organization that enables people to realize their dreams of flight” and the organization is supported by local chapters located throughout Canada, the USA and around the world.

Additional information can be found at www.eaa.org

Aircraft Association, is a growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds. EAA was founded in 1953 by a group of individuals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who were interested in building their own airplanes. Through the decades, the organization expanded its mission to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters and contemporary manufactured aircraft.

EMC News - A public meeting to discuss a proposed leachate treatment facility for the Carp Road dumpsite drew a handful of curious taxpayers, mostly landowners from nearby residential developments.

The session was hosted Monday July 18 at the Carp Mess Hall by Waste Management (WM), which is proposing to construct a leachate treatment facility for its existing waste disposal facility and waste processing operations at 2301 Carp Road.

“This facility will allow us to better manage the leachate produced from the solid waste at this site,” site manager Ross Wallace told about 20 people in attendance.

“The leachate treatment facility will treat the leachate produced from the landfill prior to discharge into the city’s sanitary sewage system,” said Wallace.

Treating is required to bring the leachate down to chemical levels acceptable by city bylaw. Treated leachate is piped from the site into the city’s system at rates controlled

by the municipality. Wallace says treating the leachate will allow the company to send up its maximum of 233 gallons per minute through the sanitary drain.

“The proposed facility uses a single train Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment process. SBRs use a proven and reliable technology that is widely used for the treatment of wastewaters. Furthermore, SBR’s are used by WM as a leachate treatment standard and are in place and successful at many WM landfill sites. The implementation of this technology will allow WM to effectively manage the volume of leachate in storage at the site, while meeting requirements for discharge of treated leachate to the city’s sanitary sewer.”

At present, some of the leachate produced by the landfill is used to irrigate a 25,000-tree poplar forest on the site. However, this process can only be done about six months a year, forcing WM to store excess leachate in the base of the landfill to await processing.

Local family fights to bring home medals

By KATHRYN GLYNN Staff Writer

EMC Sports - The Weston family is into heavy metal. Gold, silver and bronze that is.

The family of four; Mick, Carolyn and their children Hannah, 14 and Calem, 11 have just returned from Dundee, Scotland where they competed in the GFT World Taekwon-Do Championships earlier this month and picked up some shiny souvenirs.

This is the second time the family has travelled to the world championships, but the first to compete.

Mick, a first degree black belt, sparred in five matches over two days with first, second and third degree black belts from Puerto Rico, Scotland, Germany and Canada.

He was very happy with his silver finish-gold going to Germany. He also picked up a bronze medal in patterns and earned third place for his power break.

“I made some great friends; Taekwon Do enthusiasts from 16 different countries,” he said.

Hannah received silver for her patterns and a bronze in sparring but was disappointed in a silver in her jumping front snap kick.

Tied with Germany at seven feet she, “second-guessed myself on my last jump and just missed my target and ended up with silver,” she said.

Shown here (left to right) are Andy Sparks, Mick, Carolyn, Calem and Hannah Weston and Ron Sparks. The Westons recently competed in the GFT World Taekwon-Do Championships in Dundee, Scotland.

Calem placed with a bronze in sparring. He had hoped to do better in his patterns but was pleased to be told that he had a great kick by a black belt from South Africa.

Carolyn took gold in patterns.

“I had torn one of my groin muscles 10 weeks prior to Scotland and was very worried about being able to hold my side kick steady and high enough. So I was thrilled when I placed first in my rank,” she said.

She also picked up bronze in sparring and placed first on side kick board break.

In all Carolyn Weston said she was, “very proud of our little family”.

Extended stay Extending their overseas stay to visit family, the Westons spent a day exploring Edinburgh Castle, and searching the Loch Ness for Nessie before travelling to England.

In London they fit in Madame Tussaud’s Wax

Museum, The Lion King, Tower of London, Millennium Bridge, St. Paul’s, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Picadilly and Trafalgar squares, Royal Mall and Buckingham Palace.

“It was a fast and furious two weeks, but we enjoyed it all,” Weston said.

The Westons are students of the Sparks TaeKwon-Do school in Constance Bay, owned and operated by Ron Sparks, a fifth degree black belt.

They enrolled their children in the program in September of 2005 Taekwon-Do means ‘foot hand way’ and is a series of clean kicks and punches used with bare feet and hands to defend against one’s opponent.

It is best known for its high jumping and spinning kicks.

“That first class the kids both looked so nervous, I gave Mick a nudge and suggested he stand up there with them.

He loved it,” Weston recalled.

By the next week Carolyn

had donned the Dobok as well, and the whole family was participating.

“It’s fantastic! It’s great physical activity and it works your brain as well,” she said.

Attending the Worlds in Scotland has motivated each member in different ways.

For Carolyn it means gearing up her sparring. “Speed is becoming crucial and I need to learn how to punch in the face. Sounds awful, I want to avoid them,” she said.

Hannah was inspired by a team patterns event and has returned committed to work with a friend on these.

Calem too was inspired.

His time spent with the many black belts - many of whom were quite young and some encouraging words, “have made him feel that one day he can be as good as them,” Weston noted.

“Mick, he was in competition heaven. It didn’t matter that he had bruised ribs or a severely bruised fist; he smiled from ear to ear. He is certainly pumped to attend the 2013 Worlds.

The next major tournament for the family will take place July 2012 in Toronto as Master Palella hosts the 10th Anniversary Grand Master Parks Worlds Tournament.

Then in 2013, The Republic of North Cypress will host the GTF World Championships and the Westons hope to make that another family affair.

PLAN

He said the proposed facility would be located south of the landfill footprint approximately 375 metres from Carp Road.

Ward 5 West CarletonMarch councillor Eli ElChantiry applauded the actions of WM, informing the audience that a public meeting was not required to approve the construction of the facility. He stressed that this facility is not connected to expansion plans also under way at the site.

“Having this facility on site is the most practical approach to deal with leachate that is already there,” he said.

“The City of Ottawa has been trying to set up something like this at our site on Trail Road. Treating the leachate on site reduces the impact to the sewer system, so this is good news.”

WM engineer Rémi Godin called the facility “an extra safeguard for the existing

process. This will help us to comply with the city bylaw for discharge.” He added that the facility is not a sewage treatment plant.

“This plant has the best available technology for treating leachate. Having it on site has a positive impact on the environment.”

The state-of-the-art facility involves pumping leachate from an underground storage area at the base of the landfill to four holding tanks in the facility.

Then chemicals such as alum are added for phosphorus control and sodium hydroxide for alkalinity control.

The procedure also has an odour control system.

The entire facility will be built behind a berm designed to capture and contain any leachate that could spill from the facility in the event of a leak or malfunction. However, the leachate would not enter storm water containment systems.

“Storm water drains into a pond located to the east,”

said Godin. “Storm water collected in the pond will not be released.”

The facility would be accessed via the existing vehicular access from Carp Road.

Ross Wallace said the facility will generate negligible traffic, consisting of a sludge removal truck once every two weeks, one delivery of chemicals every six months, and a pick-up truck each to transport workers.

In questioning the proposal, neighbouring resident and watchdog of the landfill Gerry Augusta asked, “What has changed to warrant building this facility now?”

Ross Wallace replied, saying, “It is simply a better way to manage the leachate on the site. It gives us more opportunity to bring our system up to the latest standards.”

He added that WM has similar facilities operating at a number of other locations.

Riverfest to celebrate history of Ottawa River

By PHIL AMBROZIAK Staff Writer

EMC News – History will be flowing full force at Pinhey’s Point Aug. 14.

That’s the date for this year’s Riverfest, an event aimed at celebrating the history and heritage along the Ottawa River.

“We want to celebrate anyone who has played a part in the river’s history, both past and present,” explained Emily Pearce, communications and marketing assistant with the city’s heritage services unit.

“It’s an event that has been held for many, many years to the point where it has become somewhat of an institution,” remarked Melissa Lansing, education and interpretation programs officer at Pinhey’s Point. “Over the years, many people have both lived and worked along the river, all the way up to today.”

Among the featured activities planned for this year’s Riverfest are heritage demonstrations, games, live music and the opportunity to see the river from an explorer’s

perspective with voyageur canoe rides and to pirate a view of the Hamnett Pinhey mansion aboard tall ship, Black Jack.

“There will be fun for the whole family,” Pearce said.

“Heritage demonstrations will include sheep shearing, blacksmithing, lace making, leathersmithing and more. Becky Mason will also be performing canoe ballet, which should be very interesting to see, while Pinto Valley Ranch will be providing wagon rides.”

The event will also include

a barbecue hosted by Scouts Canada.

“This is our biggest event of the year,” Lansing continued. “While we’re still working on having different heritage tradespeople come out, it will be great for people to be able to see, learn and, in some cases, even try their hand at some of these old trades.”

Riverfest celebrations at Pinhey’s Point will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost for the event is $6 per person, $10 per pair and $16 per family.

“It’s an event that has been held for many, many years to the point where it has become somewhat of an institution.”

MELISSA LANSING EDUCATION & INTERPRETATION PROGRAMS OFFICER

“Most people who come to Pinhey’s Point are often in awe of just the scenery

itself,” Lansing said. “Riverfest provides them with a little something extra. The music and the ambience just make it all the more special.”

For more information about Riverfest, call 613-8324347 or visit www.ottawa.ca/ museums.

“There will be something for everyone and it will truly be a lot of fun for the whole family,” Lansing concluded.

Pinhey’s Point is located at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. in Dunrobin.

City offers precautions to help prevent children from drowning

By Phil Ambroziak Staff Writer

EMC News – Drowning Prevention Week, which officially began July 16, couldn’t have come at a better time.

With its arrival, and in the wake of a July 17 incident which saw a two-year-old boy rushed to CHEO after being pulled from a backyard swimming pool in Stittsville, the City of Ottawa has issued a series of precautions that could prevent children from drowning throughout the remainder of the summer season.

“Firstly, we want to ensure people keep children and nonswimmers within arms reach while in the water,” remarked Greg Bender, a recreation supervisor with the city’s parks and recreation department.

“It’s also important to always be vigilant and constantly supervising, especially if you have a big pool, if you are at the beach or at the cottage.

According to information provided by the city, among Ontario children age five years and under, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death. Two-thirds

Youngsters such as these two should always be supervised by an adult when swimming in a pool, at the beach or at the cottage. The City of Ottawa recently issued a series of swimming safety tips that should be adhered to by swimmers of all ages. of these drownings happen to those who never intended to get wet in the first place.

Unattended toddlers are especially at risk of drowning because they are mobile and very curious.

“One thing we’re recommending is if you’re ever having any type of get together at the pool or such, is that you designate an adult as an official supervisor. You can take turns, rotating every half-hour

or so, but it is essential to always have an adult supervisor on hand.”

The city also encourages children and adults alike to take swimming lessons.

“It’s a lifelong skill and activity,” Bender said. “We also encourage people to learn CPR and First Aid.” It’s also suggested that one always have a personal flotation device when in a boat or a watercraft. And, if you have a swimming pool, it is essential to install four-sided fencing around all pool, measuring at least five feet or 1.5 metres high and including a self-latching and self-closing gate.

“And, with it being so hot outside this time of year, it’s important to always drink lots of water and to stay hydrated,” Bender noted. “You should also practice sun sense by ensuring you stay out of the sun and have plenty of sunscreen.

If you follow all of these tips, you should have a safe and happy summer.”

For more information on drowning prevention, call 3-1-1 or visit www.ottawa.ca.

Humane Society full after two weeks EMC News - Two weeks after moving into its new facility, the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) was full. During that period the OHS took in 531 cats and 175 dogs.

“We moved into our new building June 23. By July 11, we’d reached our capacity for cats,” said Bruce Roney, OHS Executive Director. “In the first two weeks we admitted an astounding 34 per cent more cats and 66 per cent more dogs than the previ-

ous year.” The new facility is designed to accommodate more animals annually, but on a day-to-day basis, it is currently operating at maximum capacity.

This was not unexpected.

“New shelters generally experience an increase in admissions when they first open; however, we understand that it normally occurs after two months.

It was a surprise when we were full in two weeks,” said Roney.

There are many reasons that people give up their pets, according to Roney, but it boils down to irresponsible behaviour that results in animal homelessness and overpopulation: not spaying/neutering; no identification such as collar/tag and microchip; inappropriate pet choices for owner lifestyle; and not meeting the physical needs of the animal for food, water, shelter and veterinary care.

Light Rail On Track

By Jim Watson This month I am very pleased to tell you that on July 14th City Council voted unanimously to adopt a realistic and affordable light rail plan that meets our $2.1 billion budget.

People have told me time and again that it’s time we stopped the dithering on light rail on got shovels in the ground. This new plan does just that, and in a way we can be proud of.

Let me highlight some of the major improvements with this light rail plan: We have chosen a new tunnel alignment that is significantly closer to the surface and runs under Queen Street.

The shallower tunnel accomplishes two very important things.

It reduces the risk of cost overruns and also reduces the estimated cost for the entire project to the original price tag of $2.1 billion even after inflation is factored in.

This is great news for our taxpayers who have, understandably, worried about costs.

With this new plan, we will also be able to acquire a fixed-price contract that puts the responsibility on those building the tunnel to get it done on time and on budget.

This Council is making good decisions to ensure the financial security and operational ability of the light rail project. We intend to have shovels in the ground by 2013 and the first trains running from Blair Rd. through the downtown tunnel to Tunney’s Pasture by 2018.

Building this light rail network in Ottawa is the single biggest city building project undertaken since the Rideau Canal and it’s imperative that we do it right.

This first phase is the most important one because we are building the foundation that will allow for expansion to the west, east and south as our city continues to grow.

admitted is a sobering reminder of the need for the Ottawa Humane Society in the first place,” said Roney. “We still have work to do in our community, and education is the key.”

For families considering adopting an animal, the summer can be a good time to integrate a new pet into the home.

Photos and profiles of animals available for adoption are also available on the OHS website www.ottawahumane.ca.

With this new and improved light rail plan, Ottawa is on the right track and that’s something we can all be proud of.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kindness to strangers is alive and well

Adam and Ella Mohr Stittsville

DEAR EDITOR: On Wednesday, July 13, while out for a walk, my wife and I were caught in a downpour and took shelter at the old railway station on Abbott Street in Stittsville.

Shortly after, a cyclist also took cover from the deluge. As we wondered how we would get home, he took out his cell phone and called his daughter. Within minutes, she appeared in a minivan and drove us home.

This unselfish act toward complete strangers deserves public recognition.

We are truly thankful and appreciative for this generosity and wish to thank Jim Narraway and his daughter Teal.

We in Stittsville are truly fortunate to have such caring citizens living among us. Jim’s parting words to us were “pay it forward.”

Councillor offers thanks for Love Kanata event DEAR EDITOR: I would like to thank Pastor Keith MacAskill and the more than 40 volunteers from the Bridlewood Community Church of the Nazarene for the Love Kanata event on Wednesday, July 20.

It was my pleasure to meet with the many volunteers and attendees at the event to express our love for Kanata. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful neighbours!

Thank you for all your work to make our community a place to celebrate. I look forward to joining you at future events.

Sincerely, Allan Hubley, Councillor Kanata South

EMC Editorial - When it comes to our weather, be careful what you wish for.

Those of us who griped about the cool, damp spring may likely be the same people complaining about the unprecedented heat wave that struck all of Ontario and beyond this month.

But while we may also want to poke fun at those complainers at times, the oppressive heat and humidity is no joke for those who may already have a pre-existing condition. Area health units tell us everyone can be at risk – especially when the mercury hits 35 Celsius with a humidex reading of 47.

But the elderly, people with chronic illness, infants and preschoolers need to have as limited exposure to the elements as possible.

The following tips are provided by the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit but applies whether one lives in the heart of the city or in the valley. The list includes: • not leaving children, adults or pets in parked cars or sleeping outside in direct sunlight, • consulting one’s doctor or pharmacist regarding the side effects of one’s medications, • drinking plenty of water and 100 per cent fruit juices throughout the day, even if one doesn’t feel thirsty. Remember to take sips often and not to guzzle your drink, • eating foods that have high water content such as watermelon, grapes and oranges, • avoiding drinking alcoholic beverages, coffee and cola, • avoiding going out in the blazing sun or heat when possible. If one must go outside, stay in the shade as much as possible. Plan any necessary outdoor activities in early morning or evening, • whenever possible going to an air-conditioned room or building, including shopping malls and libraries, • wearing a wide-brimmed hat outdoors, • keeping window shades or drapes drawn and blinds closed on the sunny side of the home, • keeping electric lights off or turning them down low, • taking a cool bath or shower periodically or cool down with cool, wet towels.

• visiting a local pool or beach – check for postings at http:// www.healthunit.org/water/test/beach_results.htm • wearing loose fitting, light clothing, • avoiding eating heavy meals and using the oven, • avoiding strenuous outdoor physical activity.

While the mercury is no longer in record territory, based on the summer to date the same issues could arise at anytime.

Take care out there.

A camping we will go, whether I like it or not EMC Lifestyle – Nothing says summer like a threenight stay at an Ontario Provincial Park.

Yes, I can safely say I’ve finally come to enjoy camping.

I say “finally” for a couple of reasons. The first being the fact I’d never been on a fullfledged camping trip until three years ago and the second being that my very first camping experience was nothing short of a disaster.

I’m not entirely sure why I’d never been camping. It seems it was a family tradition for most people I know to pack up the tent and the sleeping bags and head off into the backwoods for a oneof-a-kind brush with nature.

I suppose my family wasn’t big on tradition. Either that or, because my dad’s career as a soldier required him to spend countless weeks on end “living” in a tent, he was

quite content just to stay home whenever time allowed for it.

As a youngster, the closest I ever came to camping was whenever my brother and I would set up our family tent in the backyard or when my best friend’s dad would set up his tent trailer in his driveway and allow us to “camp” there for a night or two. While both were unforgettable experiences I will cherish for the rest of my days, they never really captured the true essence of camping.

My first true camping trip, which took place during the

summer of 2008, was also unforgettable. Unfortunately, it’s unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. In fact, it was an experience that almost turned me off camping forever.

My wife is one of those individuals who would regularly go camping during her youth. It was a summer ritual she wanted to continue ever since we met and she simply couldn’t believe I’d never been camping in my entire life. In spite of her continual efforts to convince me it would be fun, it wasn’t until I was reunited with the same

friend whose family owned the aforementioned tent trailer that I finally decided to give it a try. We planned a joint camping adventure with my family and his and, seeing as he was the most experienced, I left the major planning details to him. Sometimes what looks good on paper, however, doesn’t always translate so well in real life.

When it came time to embark on our adventure, we found ourselves packing two vans full of camping gear and supplies, not to mention our three children and his (at the time) two and setting off on a close to three-hour drive to a provincial park known as Silent Lake.

Keep in mind; I am still innocent and somewhat naïve to the rigours of camping at this point in time. Upon arrival, I quickly experienced a baptism of fire when it was

discovered the site we’d reserved was a “walk-in” site.

This meant we had to park our vehicles and walk a good five minutes or more to our designated campsite. This, of course, translated into several trips to and from our vans as we carried what seemed like an endless supply of coolers, camping gear and other really heavy items. It wouldn’t have been so bad had it not been for the sweltering heat, swarms of mosquitoes and the rough terrain (including numerous tree roots sticking out of the ground, a bridge and a hill) we had to endure during our back-and-forth trek.

Once we were settled in, things were actually okay … for a while. Unfortunately, my friend’s wife began to feel under the weather and, aside from daily trips to the beach, there really wasn’t much for us to do until it grew dark and

we could sit around the campfire shooting the breeze.

The icing on the cake came a few days into the trip when we planned to cook hamburgers for dinner. We just finished cooking the food when the sky suddenly opened up and we were hit with an intense rainstorm.

Our dinner was ruined, drenched by the deluge that seemed to come out of nowhere. We scrambled into our respective tents as quickly as possible. As I got out of my wet clothes, I quickly discovered our tent was flooded.

Amidst a barrage of curse words more powerful than the sudden downpour, we cleaned up the mess as quickly as possible and tried to get some sleep. By this point, I officially declared “camping sucks.”

sociated with these things, but our trainers are certified by the Canadian Yachting Association,” Desrochers said. “At most other clubs, you have to be a boat owner.

Our club allows you to learn and have fun on the water without specifically having to invest in and maintain your own boat. We have a fleet of about two dozen vessels of different types.”

While lessons were expected to begin July 23 and run until the end of August,

Desrochers did indicate enrollment has been a little slow because of the summer vacation season and there could still be an opportunity for those looking to sign up a little later than usual.

As of Aug. 1, cost for a family membership to the club will be $225 while single memberships will run $175.

covered each individual glow stick was held within a hard plastic casing by, you guessed it, Scotch tape. So, here I am in the dark, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes trying to peel off a tiny piece of Scotch tape from each package of glow sticks before I can use them to illuminate the campsite.

Soon, glow sticks of every shape and colour were littered about the entire perimeter of our site. It looked ridiculous and didn’t really do much to solve our initial problem. By now my temper has reached an all-time high … just in time for a couple of park rangers to walk by with their flashlights and see me standing outside the tent in, what my wife likes to refer to as my “tighty whities” (although they were in fact boxer shorts) with dozens of multi-coloured glow sticks scattered around.

What a revolting development it was.

Come the following year, my wife once again brought up the camping as something we could do during our summer holidays. Of course I was steadfast against it, but like any good husband, all of my ranting and raving soon turned into simple compliance. This time, however, we stayed close to home and booked a site at nearby Fitzroy Provincial Park.

Much to my surprise, the experience was like night and day compared to the previous year.

We only stayed three days, just enough time to have fun without growing too irritable.

The weather also co-operated with us the entire time and I quickly learned this was what camping was truly all about.

EMC News – It may be small, but it has a lot of heart.

For more than 30 years, the Kanata Sailing Club, which currently boasts close to 120 members, has served as a haven for long-time sailing enthusiasts and beginners alike.

Located at 1610 Sixth Line Rd. near Shirley’s Bay, the club is a membership-driven organization that offers a challenging experience for all who take part.

“It’s a little club – it’s not as large as some of the others in the area,” explained John Desrochers, the club’s membership director. “Mem-

bers who join are offered training and, recently, we held an open house in the hopes of enticing a few more people to come out while the weather is still nice. We simply want to offer people an enjoyable time on the Ottawa River.”

While a fee of $325 is required to cover all costs associated with sailing lessons, the club does offer the added bonus of providing boats to its members.

The rain soon stopped, but I could not sleep … probably due to a combination of anger and discomfort. Later that night, my wife and I thought we heard an animal rustling around outside. Concerned because we’d left our sopping-wet hamburgers nearby in our efforts to escape the rain, we thought we’d better investigate.

Upon exiting the tent, I was immediately attacked by the swarms of mosquitoes, which most of you probably know seem to triple in numbers at nighttime. Nevertheless, I managed to find my way through the darkness to the picnic table and quickly had my hands on a bag of glow sticks. Getting them out of the wrappers was easy; the hard part came when I dis-

ADHS reunion draws near

Arnprior Fair aims to be biggest in Valley

By THERESA FRITZ Associate Editor

EMC Events – The biggest fair in the Ottawa Valley is only one week away.

The 157th Arnprior Agricultural Society Fair will take over the fairgrounds on Galvin Street from Thursday, Aug. 4 to Sunday, Aug. 7. As always, the event is shaping up to provide a ton of family fun, entertainment and of course shine the spotlight on local agriculture.

“It is just going to be an amazing event,” said agricultural society director Lynn Grinstead. “Last year we had record numbers through the gate and it is because of that we could make this year’s fair bigger.”

One of the reasons the fair can lay claim to being the biggest in the Valley is the fact it will have more rides than any other around.

“We will have a minimum of 14 rides,” explained Grinstead.

Some of the fair’s returning favorites will include agricultural exhibits, team penning, dairy, beef and 4H shows.

Also returning is the very popular demolition derby, which draws in major

crowds to the fairgrounds.

The lawn tractor pull will also be back.

“Scott (Rancourt) puts a lot of effort into organizing the demolition derby,” Grinstead noted.

On the musical front, attendees will get to take a trip back in time as 1980s rock/ new wave band Platinum Blonde headlines on the Friday night. The Juno Awardwinning band was inducted into the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame. Some of the string of hits fair-goers will be able to hear include ‘It Doesn’t Really Matter’, ‘Standing in the Dark’, ‘Not in Love’ and ‘Sad Sad Rain’, to name but a few.

Grinstead recalled she saw Platinum Blonde play at her college in 1984 and had her photo taken with them.

She plans to bring the photo with her to the show.

“They have great songs,” she stated.

Opening up for Platinum Blonde will be local band Gamut. Other concerts during the fair will be put on by local bands Just Two Guys and Carvalho.

According to registrar Steve Rooney, guests are expected from all over North America, with the furthest registered so far visiting from Victoria, B.C. and the southern U.S.A. Former students of Almonte High School from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s will be gathering.

The theme of the Reunion is ‘Years of Glory...Almonte High in the Sixties’. Alumni will gather at the school in the afternoon for tours of the old school building, the threestory structure dating back to Tait MacKenzie and James Naismith in 1874. They will enjoy a look at the new gymnasium with its huge display of trophies and championship banners going back to the early 1950s.

Alumni will reminisce about the glory days of Almonte track and field, when the ‘Orange and Black ‘would fill six buses full of contestants for the county track and field meet. The arrival of the “Almonte Armada” would be greeted with groans of disbelief and resignation from the other Lanark County high

rave reviews, returns this year with the truck and tractor pull.

For children and animal lovers, the Bowmanville Zoo’s exotic animal show returns with a larger collection of animals. Grinstead said the zoo will also be bringing a baby big cat and people will be able to have their photo taken with the animal. There will also be a Kids’ Amazing Race.

The Lunch Box – Deal or No Deal returns for kids with a bicycle as a grand prize as well as bingo on the Sunday afternoon of the fair.

“It will be a cash prize bingo but we need people to participate to run it,” Grinstead emphasized.

The Sunday will also feature the strong man competition.

“I’m very excited about the fair. It is just going to be an amazing event,” Grinstead concluded.

She urged everyone to support the Arnprior Agricultural Society’s efforts to continue providing a community fair that offers something for everyone.

Please see a future edition of the EMC for a complete and detailed fair lineup.

schools.

In the evening, alumni will gather for cocktails at the Almonte Community Centre at 6 p.m., with a hot sit-down meal at seven. There will be a program of welcome and reminiscence after dinner, followed by an evening of dancing to the music of

The Heartbeats, a widely-known rock and roll revival band.

People are able to register for this event electronically through the Almonte District High School Alumni Association, or by calling Terry Currie at 613-839-3439.

GettinG to Know wildlife Motherhood for Squirrels is a demanding Job

By Donna DuBreuil,

President, OttawaCarleton Wildlife Centre

0728.362246

The female squirrels that were seen resting on the fence rail at the Wildlife Centre during June were looking pretty tuckered out. It was no wonder, after caring for up to five babies over the late winter and spring months.

The eastern Grey Squirrel has her babies as early as March and in our climate that presents a real challenge. The female must find a secure spot when her newborn babies are only as big as your thumb and subject to be preyed upon by crows. The typical tree nests or dreys afford no protection at that time of year due to the lack of leaf cover.

A second litter is born in July and August when the weather is less harsh but still female squirrels are looking for safe spots, such as a soffit or shed that offers protection

from predators and the elements when babies are most vulnerable.

There are fewer babies born during the summer. We speculate it is because they are born to adults who were themselves born late in the season the year before. The care of the young is the sole responsibility of the mother, and she is very devoted.

We would sometimes get calls from people concerned about squirrels with hair loss.

When it was confirmed that the hair loss was around the squirrel’s shoulders and upper back, we were able to assure people it was quite natural.

Mother squirrels will pluck their hair and use it to line the nest as warm insulation for tiny babies.

You can always tell a mother squirrel with ‘teenagers’ because her hair will have started to come back in and the short new growth will often be a different shade. It appears that

the squirrel is wearing a dark ‘vest’ with lighter ‘pants’.

Most likely the squirrels you see around your property at this time are females with babies close by. Trapping and relocating adult squirrels is never humane as they don’t do well in a new territory. It is also a death sentence for the babies that are left behind to suffer and die of starvation.

The babies mature quickly; developing hair by three weeks.

Their eyes open by four weeks and by nine weeks, they are venturing out of the nest with mother. By 12 weeks they are quite independent although the summer litter will often den with their siblings over the winter.

If squirrels have taken up temporary residence in a soffit or attic, once they leave in mid to late September, you can do the animal-proofing.

GARDENER’S CORNER

Fantastic Foundlings Believe it or not, this is the best time of year for the avid gardener. When most of the big box garden centres are literally folding their tents, bargains abound. Forget the annuals, look in the dark corners or back lots of the nursery for scruffy little perennials or shrubs that most people overlook because they are not perfect.

Three years ago we found a pile of 2 gallon perennials with a sign saying 2 for $5.00 In that pile we found a neglected Genista and a Tamarisk that at first glance looked dead.

On closer inspection we could see that the Tamarisk was sending out tiny new shoots despite being terribly pot-bound.

Three years later we have a Tamarisk that is five feet tall and full of candy floss pink blossoms. The Genista with it’s quirky domed branch structure was just a cascade of brilliant yellow flowers. Not too bad for five dollars.

Most nurseries have deep discounts at this time of year. Don’t be afaid to ask the staff where the deals are. Take it from me, a lot of the best deals go home with the employees.

Just because the plants looks a little scruffy or have some browned off leaves, doesn’t mean they are not viable. Take home an orphan and give it some care and you will be amazed at what nature provides.

I have paid premium for perfect and it’s understandable when you want instant impact in the garden but if you think long term and want beauty on a budget, look for a few foundlings.

Quebec team dominates fourth Gil Read memorial event EMC Sports - The weather was perfect, the crowds were impressive and for an all-star team from Quebec so were the pickings!

The Quebec Seniors rolled over most of their opponents to easily win the fourth annual ‘Gil Read Memorial Men’s Fastpitch Tournament’ in Carp last weekend. The Quebec tournament team is comprised of players from Donnacona Blue Sox (Quebec City area) and other clubs from the province including Quyon Combat Flyers who

play in the local league. They claim $1,800 cash for their exertions in Carp!

It’s been a productive summer for the Quebec Seniors.

They were runners-up in a tournament at Cambridge, Massachusetts the previous weekend and they won a competition at Au Sable Forks, New York (near Lake Placid) played July 8-10. At Au Sable the Quebecers defeated Carp 14C Victory in the final.

Playing as Donnacona many of the winning players in Carp this past

weekend were also champions at the prestigious Jim Bradford men’s fastball tournament in Cobourg, Ontario in June.

Sunday afternoon the Quebec squad blanked Napanee North Key Junior Express 6-0 to capture the Gil Read tournament trophy. North Key was one of two sides from the Lake Ontario community entered in the competition.

The champions didn’t lose a game in the 10-team event, winning three and tying one to lead the B Pool standings. They then won their

HEY MOM and DAD, Have your child meet GRAPE at our next playoff game!

semi-final contest 10-1 over Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL), easily qualifying for the championship game.

The Quebec side scored a total of 60 runs in six games on the weekend. They used offence to overwhelm their opponents in the absence of their top starting pitcher Francis Leclair.

He was unavailable to play in Carp.

Napanee North Key made it to the final after compiling a 3-1 mark in the B Pool. Their only round-robin setback was a 14-8 defeat at the hands of the Quebec Seniors Saturday morning. In the semi-finals

North Key downed previously undefeated Kars Aces from GOFL 8-5 to make it to the title game. North Key claimed $700 for finishing as runnersup in Carp.

Kars, the defending GOFL champions, was a perfect 4-0 in the A Pool, posting the best record in the preliminary round of the event.

All funds raised during the annual competition go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation which assists underprivileged children in the Ottawa area who wish to play organized sports.

This is the second year the tournament was held at Carp Fairgrounds and,

assisted by ideal summer weather, it is expected to be the most successful yet (watch for a future story in the EMC on the outcome of the venture).

Six of the seven teams in GOFL took part in the Gil Read memorial with Kars and Fitzroy WC making it to the semi-finals. Quyon (Quebec) Combat Flyers, who won the 2010 event in Carp, didn’t enter this year.

But several of their top players were in the winning Quebec Seniors’ line-up.

Quyon is undefeated in GOFL play so far this season!

Among GOFL teams entered, Fitzroy WC Electric went 3-1 in the A Pool while host Carp finished 2-2. In the B Pool Barrhaven Broadway Blues finished 2-1-1 while Ottawa Blitz (known as Taylor’s Blitz for tournament purposes) was 1-3.

Stittsville 56ers, the last place side in GOFL this season, were an uninspiring 0-4 in Carp.

Also in Pool A Napanee Shoeless Joe’s Express finished 1-3 while Cree Nation Bears were 0-4.

Local West Carleton fastball fans had to be impressed by the performances of both local sides. Fitzroy made it to the semi-finals before losing to the eventual champions from Quebec. Carp, meanwhile, was a highly competitive 2-2.

In Pool A action Fitzroy WC outscored Carp 8-5 in the tournament opener Friday night. Saturday Electric edged Napanee Shoeless Joe’s 4-3 before taking it on the chin 9-0 versus Kars later in the day. Sunday they outlasted Cree Nation 11-10

to make the playoffs.

After losing to rivals Fitzroy Friday, 14C Victory shut out Napanee Shoeless Joe’s 9-0 and blasted Cree Nation 9-1 in action on Saturday. Carp fell out of the competition Sunday with a 6-2 loss to GOFL rival Kars.

Until 2010 the tournament, which is named in memory of Gil Read a long-time coach from the Ottawa area who died tragically in 2007, was played at Carlington Park in west-central Ottawa.

Facility rental costs skyrocketed in the city proper, however, prompting the organizing committee to seek another venue. They settled on Carp Fairgrounds, hoping to attract more fans and increase revenues. As mentioned all proceeds from the competition go to a charitable foundation established in Gil Read’s name.

The money assists children, who could not otherwise afford the cost, to play competitive sports.

Last year’s tournament in Carp was a complete success.

The foundation received nearly $10,000, almost double the profit from 2009.

The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999.

He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games.

For the youngest players in particular, last weekend’s Carp competition served as a warm-up for the upcoming Junior Nationals.

That tournament will take place in Napanee Aug. 8-14.

Anyone interested in the Gil Read tournament or those wishing to make a donation to this worthwhile cause can reach Al Read by telephone at 613-435-3199.

Or they can call Chris Read at 613-292-7379 or contact him by e-mail at thereadfamily@ rogers.com.

Jon Brunette Memorial Golf Tournament goes Aug. 6

By THERESA FRITZ Associate Editor

EMC Sports – Get ready to tee it up for a worthy cause.

The ninth annual Jon Brunette Memorial Golf Tournament is set for Saturday, Aug. 6 at Carp’s Irish Hills Golf and Country Club.

Tee off for the tournament is at 1 p.m. and the tournament is a fundraiser for the Jon Brunette Memorial Fund. The Memorial Fund was established to honour the memory of Jon Brunette who lost his life in a snowmobile accident on March 17, 2003. Jon played his minor hockey in the WCMHA system (1990-1998)

and with the Ottawa Valley Titans (1998-1999). He then played three years with the Arnprior Packers Jr. B Hockey Club.

The tournament is also in loving memory of Malcolm Brunette, father of Jon and Eric Brunette, who passed away in August 2007.

This is the only fundraiser we do for the fund,” explained Jon’s mother Val Brunette. “We usually have between 20 to 25 teams of four.”

The money raised goes to sponsor a player from West Carleton who plays for an Ottawa Valley Titans team.

The money goes directly to help pay for the registration

fees. As well, the fund sponsors the year-end fun day for the Initiation program (4-5 year-old players) for the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association.

Even though he died at the tender age of 20, Jon Brunette did do a bit of golfing himself.

The cost to play in this year’s tournament is $320 per team ($80 per person in advance) or $90 per person at the door and the fee includes 18 holes of golf, green fees and golf cart as well as a barbecue buffet dinner. To register, contact Val Brunette at 613832-1346 or e-mailv.brunette@xplornet.com.

Local MP has honour of bidding farewell to royal couple

By PHIL AMBROZIAK Staff Writer

EMC News – It was a responsibility of royal proportions.

On Saturday, July 2, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor was tasked with bidding farewell to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and wife Catherine Middleton) as they prepared to board their plane to continue their Canadian tour, a visit which began in the nation’s capital June 30.

“My wife and I had a chance to meet them as they were preparing to leave Ottawa,” O’Connor confirmed. “It was my duty to introduce them to the line of VIPs on hand and to officially say goodbye to them as they boarded their plane.”

The MP went on to explain that, in major cities such as Ottawa, a Member of Parliament traditionally welcomes royal visitors in this manner while another minister sees them on their way at the conclusion of their stay.

“In this case, (Ottawa West-Nepean MP) John Baird was there to greet them and I was the one to say farewell,” he said.

During their time in Canada, the royal couple was scheduled to visit eight cities before departing the country on July 8. These included Ottawa; Montréal; Québec City; Charlottetown, P.E.I.; Summerside, P.E.I.; Yellowknife and Calgary. They also paid a surprise visit to fire-ravaged Slave Lake, Alberta.

The recent visit was Prince

Woody’s Cycles

William’s third to Canada, having been here in 1991 and 1998. It was the first visit to Canadian soil for the duchess.

Past encounters While O’Connor is likely to never forget his brush with royalty, it’s not the first time he’s had an opportunity to meet members of the royal family.

“We also had a chance to meet the Queen and Prince Philip when they were in Ottawa last year and, years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Prince Charles,” O’Connor remarked.

O’Connor, who currently

serves as chief government whip and minister of state, served more than 30 years in the Canadian military. Prince Charles, he said, is the honourary colonel in chief of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, the minister’s former regiment, which is now based in Petawawa. It was during his time in the military that O’Connor met Prince Charles.

He said it’s been an honour each and every time he’s met someone from the royal family.

“My wife and I were quite honoured to meet the young couple,” he continued. “They were both very charming

people. When we met the Queen and Prince Philip, it was a little different because we met them at Government House; spoke with them there and then proceeded to the airport. This time, however, the duke and duchess came to the airport from a special function, so our time with them was shorter.”

The MP concluded by expressing how much his wife likes the Queen and the entire royal family, reiterating how honoured they were to be on hand for the farewell ceremony.

“It was an honour and quite a pleasure,” he said.

It took a lot for Father to come apart at the seams Mary Cook’s Memories

BY MARY COOK

his impatience.

It was a blistering hot day in the middle of the summer. Father had spent several days mowing hay. It had been raked, stooked and left in piles around the fields. Then the stooks were forked onto the big flat bottomed wagon and pulled into the barn yard by the team of horses.

The wagon was drawn up on the side of the barn where a small door opened near the roof, and the horses untied from the wagon. Through a combination of pulleys, and one rope hanging loosely down from the little door in the barn, a hay fork hung.

One horse was hooked up somehow to these ropes holding the hayfork, hay was clamped from the pile on the wagon, the horse ordered to move ahead, and the hayfork full of hay was slowly raised up to the little door opening into the hayloft of the barn.

It was Everett’s job, since he was the oldest of the brothers, and certainly the most dependable, to stay in the hay mow and once the fork full of hay was eased into the loft, a

rope was pulled, opening the hayfork releasing the hay.

Everett had to keep moving the hay to the back of the loft, continually making room for what was still to be hauled up off the wagon.

It was when Father and Everett were heading back to the field that day, with the team for more loose hay, that the trouble began. Emerson and Ronny were supposed to be raking up any hay that had fallen off the wagon and make it ready to be hauled up into the hayloft when another load was returned.

Queenie, the old nag that was used to pull the hay off the wagon and into the loft, with this series of ropes and pulley was almost asleep in the heat of the day.

Well, no one knows if it was Emerson’s idea or Ronny’s. But they thought it might be fun to ride the hay fork up into the hay mow while they waited for the next load to come from the field.

One would straddle the fork, and the other would urge old Queenie to walk back and forth, hauling the one on the fork upwards.

Neither lad considered that their bodies were much heavier than the soft hay. Emerson thought he should be the first to go since he was the oldest. He straddled the fork lift, and Ronny nudged Queenie awake, and taking a hold of

her bridle urged her onward.

Emerson got about three feet off the ground, when the pulley left the framework of the barn, the ropes snapped, and the whole operation came to a pile on the ground.

Well, that was the day Father lost his patience! Really lost his patience. He looked at

the pile of ropes and the fork, Queenie chewing the hay that had yet to be raked into a pile, Emerson and Ronny were nowhere to be found, and you didn’t have to have a university education to know what had happened!

I was watching from the cement pump stand where I was playing jacks, and I saw

Father stand and look at the mess for a full five minutes.

Then he took off his old straw hat, flung it to the ground, and proceeded to jump up and own on it until it was as flat as a pancake. He let out a slew of swear words in German – and this time they were mixed in with a few choice ones in English.

My View From Island View

Fishing

So I was giving some thought this week to the sport of fishing. I have never really fished before. In fact, I have always been of the mind that it is a lazy, boring waste of time. How can anyone just sit in a boat for hours with a line in the water hoping to catch a little itty bitty fish? And this is not a cheap sport to boot. By the time you buy a boat, motor, rod, reel, worms and your beverages for the weekend, those little fish are no longer free. In fact when you add it all up, one small fish could be worth upwards of $200!

So to my horror, in the last few weeks I found myself accepting an opportunity to go fishing. I did wonder what had I gotten myself into?

I decided, I will go but I am going to bring my book (Ice Bound: A Doctor’s Incredible Battle for Survival at the South Pole) and a nice soft cushion for my bottom.

Practice was my first lesson. My teacher set me up with everything I needed, taught me how to cast and then left me alone. When I felt like I had the hang of it, off we set for the prime pickerel location. Apparently this is a VERY special spot and I am NOT to divulge this location to anyone. After trolling for about an hour, I did indeed get a bite. I expected my teacher to grab the rod from my hands and bring it in for me but NO. With patient guidance, the teacher talked me through escorting this fish right to the net and low and behold, there stuck on my hook was a 10 lb. pickerel! The teacher was speechless...the teacher was without words, but best of all, the teacher gave me a high five with one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen. Having no basis for comparison, I did ask if this was a BIG fish and apparently it was not big at all but more in the

MONSTER category. Well... I must tell you, I am hooked! For those of you who know what it’s like to eat fresh fried fish within 2 hours of catching it, you will know exactly why I am hooked! The calm and stillness of the water before sunset mixed with the adrenaline rush of each bite is almost impossible for me to grasp. I crave the solitude, silence and simplicity of this special place by the water that only a select few people know about. I feel so blessed to be able to experience this.

When I got back to Island View, I shared my story with the residents and in return I received admiration, fun teasing but most of all I received their excellent fishing stories. One of our residents used to serve on a mine sweeper during peace time in the 1960’s. One day the boat was anchored just off shore. Bored with nothing to do because most of the crew were asleep, he went into the kitchen, grabbed a chunk of beef, a meat hook and a long strap. He put all this together to form a crude piece of fishing equipment and proceeded to catch a shark! Pulling the wild beast up with the winch, he almost had it when the clever fish decided to spit out the hook and swim free. Upset, his officer couldn’t understand how stupid he could be trying to fish for shark with out a barb on his hook!

Eric Bartlett was one of our residents who sadly passed away in the spring. His fishing tale is completely different and I would like to share it with you. His son, Ian, gave me

permission to share his story: Not only was Dad an avid fisherman, he was also an expert swimmer, life guard and swimming instructor as well as a certified diving instructor. This was all fine until the military decided to combine his skills as an ammunitions and explosives expert with his proficient underwater diving experience. During the FLQ crisis in the late 1960’s Dad was assigned the delightful task of inspecting all of the underwater piers and foundations for all of the bridges crossing the Rideau Canal.

This was a security measure to prepare a safe passage for Queen Elizabeth when she visited Canada for Expo 67.

How is that for the ultimate fishing story! Fishing, for explosives, during a Canadian political crisis.

So what did I discover from my fishing experience? Well...I realized I was dead wrong about fishing! I learned how to just be in a quiet place with the teacher, sharing time and space in a little boat on one of the most beautiful lakes you can imagine.

I discovered the peace that can come from just being and not always having to exchange words. Because sometimes a high five and a big smile are all you really need.

EMC Lifestyle - My sister Audrey said it was a blessing none of us could understand German. Because when Father was provoked, really provoked, he let off a slew of swear words we all knew he wouldn’t repeat in English!

Now, it took a lot to provoke Father. Mother said he was the most patient man in the world. The endless job of cleaning out the barns, milking the cows twice a day, and feeding the pigs, never got a complaint from Father. He was one to keep his feelings to himself.

But when he got provoked, really provoked, we all knew what would happen. On more than one occasion, for instance the time the cows broke down the fence in the barn yard after he had spent three days putting it up, he walked over, never said a word, but bit the stem of his pipe right in half.

We knew then, he was really provoked.

He never took it out on the cows, though. He just set to work rebuilding the fence, which took another two or three days. Yes, he sure was a patient man, just like Mother said he was.

But he could lose his patience when it came to Emerson’s or Ronny’s pranks, although then he did little more than chew on his pipe, and shake his head. But one day, that wasn’t enough to satisfy

Saturday, August 7 Though unsuccessful in the 8:00 am – 10:00 pm states, “Contact” was still a August hit in CanadaSunday, in 1988/89, but8 9:00 am – 2:00 pm not as much as their previous releases. It had sold 100,000 copies without a tour or promotion other than music videos for “Fire”, “Connect Me” and “If You Go ThisTime” but the band had decided to leave their label after the cancelation of a major world tour in 1989, renaming themselves The Blondes for one last release, 1990’s “Yeah Yeah Yeah” on their own label, Justin Entertainment.

By 1990 the band had decided to venture into solo projects and Platinum Blonde was no more until mid 1999, when former members Mark Holmes and Sasha Tukatsch toured with fellow Vertigo/ No.9 member Dave Barrett to promote the release of “Seven Year Itch (1982-1989)”, the

band’s greatest hits compilation, and their No.9 indie release.

The following year Sasha Tukatch was replaced by “Juice” (formerly of LimbLifter) and in 2001 & 2002 the band toured Canada once more, to promote “Are You Sitting Comfortably?”, an 11 track album comprised of new and re-recorded No.9 material due for release in Fall 2002.

This material was unfortunately not released until 2007 but five former members of the band have performed a charity concert in Toronto on the 28th of December 2003.

“Are You Sitting Comfortably?” was eventually released as a solo album by Mark Holmes in 2007 and in 2010 the original members of the band re-united in celebration of the induction into the Canadian Music and Broadcast Hall Of Fame, minus bassist Kenny Maclean, who had unfortunately passed away in Toronto

Who are Platinum Blonde?

Platinum Blonde are a Canadian new wave rock band that had several hit singles and albums in Canada from 1983-1988, their most popular single being the platinum hit “Crying Over You”.

Founded by Manchester (England) native Mark Holmes in 1982, the trio had emerged from the Toronto club scene in 1983 with hit EP “Six Track Attack”, a recording produced by the world famous David Tickle that was later expanded into the Double Platinum “Standing In The Dark” LP. By late 1984 the band had invaded the airwaves in Canada with four hit singles, their Juno nominated “Standing In The Dark” and “Doesn’t Really Matter” music videos obtaining high rotation on the newly created Much Music, Canada’s national music video network.

They had graduated from clubs to the country’s largest arenas within a few months of the release of “Standing In the Dark”, creating near riots at several venues including their free concert in Nathan Philips Square in Downtown Toronto in 1984.

In 1985, the band released the Quintuple Platinum selling album “Alien Shores”, within a year of the release of “Standing In The Dark”. This album featured the addition of a fourth member (ex-Deserter Kenny Maclean) and the introduction of a harder sound but their fans remained and the album yielded hit after hit, four including “Crying Over You” and the Billboard charting “Somebody Somewhere”, their first and only American hit. The success of this album allowed the band to headline their own “Alien Invassion Tour” of Canada, one of the most successful tours of Canada by a Canadian artist in the eighties. But having been introduced to American listeners with “Somebody Somewhere”, the band was now eyeing the American market, changing once more their look and sound for their third

Real Estate Matters Robert Pugh

limited experience in seeing different home styles and layouts, visiting open houses can be a very worthwhile exercise.

To plan an effective open house tour, you should start with a map. Plot out the addresses of where the open houses are located, and the times of showings to ensure that you make the most productive use of your time.

If you don’t already know the neighbourhood, then that’s the first place to start. Look at your map, and see where major transportation links are located, as well as parks, schools, shopping and amenities. If everything you see on the map looks good, then start out with a driving tour of the neighbourhood itself, before you devote some time to viewing individual houses.

If you plan on visiting an open house, and you’re already working with a real estate salesperson, be sure to notify them in advance. Your sales representative can be a very valuable source of information about the neighborhood, and may possibly even be familiar with the individual property. Also, depending on the rules of your local real estate board, visiting an open house without your agent present may result in conferring certain rights on the salesperson who is showing the property.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Can Hudak avoid shooting himself in the foot?

EMC Lifestyle - The end of July and with the 40th Ontario general election set for Thursday, Oct. 6 the rhetoric – not to mention the attack advertising – is heating up as the parties move into high gear on the campaign highway.

At this stage it looks very good for the Progressive Conservatives and leader Tim Hudak. With a doubledigit lead in the polls the Tories are poised to make good on their long standing promise to oust Premier Dalton McGuinty and the Liberal Party.

There’s little doubt McGuinty’s own standing in the eyes of voters has much to do with his party’s present position. The Ottawa native isn’t well liked. In fact that is probably a major understatement. McGuinty clearly isn’t popular with many in his own party.

I will admit he’s never been my favourite politician and that is definitely an understatement. I’ve made that clear in previous columns in this newspaper. McGuinty’s second given name starts with the initial ‘J’ (for James).

Long ago I took the liberty of changing it to ‘B’ (for ban).

This guy loves bans, of every kind. The one that upset me the most was the Liberals’ questionable ban on pesticides. I see the evidence of that decision every time I look at our front lawn. Thankfully the

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

lawn care people are quickly getting a handle on that problem though. Our maintenance firm has made great strides in lowering our personal weed count this year.

The pointless ban on smoking in vehicles containing children (you can still smoke at home with the kids in the house of course) is another classic.

Worst of all perhaps is the McGuinty government’s move toward banning development in some areas. That is something Randy Hillier, Tory MPP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, among others is fighting as the rural rights crusade (a justifiable campaign I believe) continues.

In fairness I freely admit to supporting the Grit-driven ban on cellular telephones and other hand held devices.

Dalton’s bans are probably the least of our worries. It’s the free spending by his government that really has us up against it in this province.

Consider the ‘Fair Share Health Care Premium’ which is so grossly expensive for

us, the taxpayers. Or the Liberals’ move toward government sponsored daycare through the all-day kindergarten program.

The kindergarten plan is still only half rolled out and members of McGuinty’s own party are balking at it, especially with the election approaching.

Who in Ontario can forget the infamous E-Health scandal of a couple of years ago?

That is one of the biggest and most pointless spending sprees to occur during McGuinty’s nearly eight-year tenure as premier.

There’s a lot more including the absolutely gross over compensation of executives at various provincial board and agencies, something that is unforgivable.

Evidently some Liberals have failed to understand the real reasons for their possible demise this fall.

West-Nepean, suggested the No. 1 reason for his party’s poll plunge is due to “Tory attack ads.”

I laughed because just minutes earlier I heard a Liberal ad attacking the Conservatives on the same radio station.

Who is leading the campaign in that department I wonder?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

When the radio host asked Chiarelli about the clearly aggressive attack campaign by the Liberals he didn’t even attempt to answer.

Instead he plowed ahead with what to me sounded suspiciously like a written state-

ment, judging by the monotone in which his remarks were delivered.

Don’t you just love politics!

Certainly I think we need a change of government in Ontario.

See Reflect page 28

Avoid Attracting Bears

gun registry? It very quickly turned into a billion-dollar example of bureaucratic bloat that took years to get rid of.

REFLECT From page 27

We have to send a strong message to politicians who have over spent our tax dollars on questionable programs.

The Grits have also turned a blind eye to ridiculously lavish compensation for those at the top, many of whom provide little if any value for money.

So, it appears to be a “can’t miss” situation for the Conservatives and new leader Hudak. He took office on July 1, 2009.

I’m sorry to say that as much as I want to see McGuinty and company gone, I am concerned that their most likely replacements, Hudak and the PCs, are already well off course in a campaign that has barely left the start line.

Some of the ideas being advanced by the Tory leader, presumably with the backing of his caucus, are very suspect in terms of value for money, the same thing I have just pilloried the Liberals over.

I support a law and order agenda both provincially and federally. But not at any cost!

Last Tuesday (July 19) Hudak made a stop in Ottawa during which he announced that a Progressive Conservative government will establish a registry of homes used as grow-ops (marijuana grow operations) and drug labs. He noted that since January, a total of 13 Ottawa homes have been “busted” by police as grow-ops.

Hudak’s point is that people currently purchase homes without being aware they were used for such nefarious purposes. He accused McGuinty and the Liberals of opposing such a registry “despite widespread public support.”

I don’t know about you but every time I hear the words “government operated registry” I break into a cold sweat!

Remember the federal long

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Mom, can we go to another one?

So, how much will a grow operation registry ultimately cost Ontarians?

Hudak’s grow-op registry announcement came just 24 hours after he said that, if elected, a Tory government will also invest in a program to put electronic monitors on sexual offenders in this province.

He says the $50 million program will place GPS-enabled ankle bracelets on the 14,000 registered sex offenders in Ontario. In Ottawa last week Hudak hinted such a program will probably be extended to include other dangerous criminals.

“We are going to have more to say about using modern technology (to fight crime) in the time ahead,” he told reporters.

Mr. Hudak should make a call to Stephen Harper and find out how the federal Conservatives won the 2006 election. Perhaps he just needs a reminder?

Because the reality is that in January of that year Harper became prime minister and a minority Conservative government claimed power in Canada by running a campaign that wasn’t terribly long on original ideas and avoided focusing on expensive programs.

Instead Harper and company ran against then Liberal PM Paul Martin, his government and their highly questionable record. It worked and the federal Tories have been in office ever since.

Consider those important facts Mr. Hudak! There is a much faster route to success this October, if you will only follow it.

PAT TREW

78 with tuna.

I’ve also included directions for cooking the pasta without heating up the kitchen in the hot weather.

A Touch of the Mediterranean Salad One-and-a-half cups uncooked spiral pasta (such as fusilli or rigatoni) Two plum tomatoes, seeded and diced One can artichoke hearts, drained and cut into quarters Eight to 10 pitted black olives, sliced Two tbsp. diced red onion Two tbsp. olive oil One-and-a-half tsp. red wine vinegar 1/4 tsp. basil pinch of oregano 1/2 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper Two tbsp. pine nuts 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese To cook the pasta without

heating up the kitchen, bring a pot of water to the boil.

Add the pasta, stir, then remove the pot from the heat, and cover it.

Let the pot sit for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring the pasta once. The heat of the water will continue to cook the pasta.

After 12 minutes, check whether the pasta is done.

It should be firm with no starchy flavour.

When the pasta is ready, drain it, and set it aside.

Let it cool completely before adding the remaining ingredients. Otherwise, if the pasta is warm, it will absorb the dressing and become soggy.

Transfer the pasta to a mixing bowl, and stir in the tomato, artichoke hearts, olives and onion.

In a measuring cup, combine the oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Pour the dressing over the salad, stir gently, and refrigerate it for two to three hours to let the flavors blend.

Just before serving, transfer the salad to a serving bowl, and sprinkle the pine nuts and feta cheese on top Serves three to four.

EMC Lifestyle - I have a CD which has over one million recipes, all organized by content and ingredients.

Even when I’m not looking for a recipe, it’s fascinating to browse through.

When I started writing this column, I decided to find out just how many recipes this CD has for pasta salad.

I typed “pasta salad” into the search engine, and up came 2,440 recipes. When I added “artichokes” as an ingredient to narrow the search, it came up with 144 recipes for pasta salads with artichokes.

Out of curiosity, I changed the ingredient from “artichoke hearts” to “tuna” expecting to see lots of recipes, but there were only 78.

Then, I changed “tuna” to “black olives” and was really surprised when 506 pasta recipes with black olives came up.

The CD, of course, doesn’t include the variations that we all come up with whenever we make salads.

Here is my version of a pasta salad with a Mediterranean touch. With this recipe, there are now 2,441 pasta salad recipes, 145 with artichokes, 507 with black olives, but still only

It is one of the four fundraisers that St Mary’s holds each year.

Each person gets a big piece of white cake which is cut in half. Mashed raspberries and sugar are placed between the two pieces. Fresh raspberries and whipped cream are added to the top for a delicious finishing touch. This year part of the proceeds will go to Chrysalis House.

ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let anybody confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you #1 find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: � Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night.

Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON �My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA�I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON�Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours.

Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.�For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC�Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

All true experiences from real people.
