Wednesday, July 21, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Lightening kills woman at Hendervale horse show One woman was killed and 10 other people were injured by a lightning strike at a horse show in northwest of Oakville Saturday afternoon. Linda Lambert, 48, of Tottenham, near Alliston, was pronounced dead at Milton District Hospital around 11 p.m. Saturday. The ring steward and the other individuals -- horse riders and officials with the Ontario Quarter Horse Association (OQHA) -- were felled by lightning from a sudden storm that hit the area around the Hendervale Equestrian Complex just before 2 p.m. The No. 1 Sideroad stable on the Burlington/Oakville border had been hosting a youth competition put on by the OQHA, one of several horse-riding organizations that regularly rents out space at Hendervale. Lambert was treated at the scene and, at one point, was without vital signs. However, a pulse was regained and she was taken to Milton hospi­ tal. Volunteer firefighter Peter King, of Cayuga, who tried to revive Lambert, himself developed chest pains and was taken to Milton hospital. The 51-year-old was discharged Monday. Nine ambulances, six police cruisers and two fire trucks attended the scene. Victims, suffering from various non-life threatening injuries, were transported to hospitals in Burlington, Milton and Oakville. The injured included seven females and three males ranging in age from 13-54; most were from Ontario but two were Americans, from Montana and Colorado. Among the 10 people hurt by the lightning was Hendervale owner Janet Manbert's daughter, Kim, 31. The elder Manbert said her daughter was not in the open field where most of the victims were jolt­ ed but was inside a covered building to the north. Kim, was holding a metal bar when the light­ ning hit south of her location. It knocked her back­ wards, said her mother. She was taken to Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital for obser­ vation and an electrocardiogram and then released. "I was here 15 minutes after it happened," said Janet Manbert, who did not know Linda Lambert, the woman killed. Manbert said it is the first time a lightning strike has injured anyone on the 60- hectare (150-acre) complex, which opened in 1996. "It was a freak storm," she said. As for the usual practise by horse people when a thunder­ storm is imminent, Manbert said, "Everyone knows the minute you see lightning you go for cover because the horses have steel shoes." The Hendervale owner said the bolt from above also caused extensive damage to electric and electronic components on site. Business phone and fax lines were still down Tuesday and the computerized irrigation system that waters the Grand Prix (championship) show field was, in her words, "toast". Manbert said she also wanted to correct what she termed an erroneous report in a Toronto news­ paper that inferred riders and trainers were outside riding when a storm struck the area again around 5 p.m. Manbert said the show, which was sched­ uled to run until Sunday, was stopped immediate­ ly after the first lightning strike.

Open a ir fires n o t allowed in to w n The Oakville Fire Department is advising resi­ dents that open air burning is not allowed in town. The burning of leaves, brush, building materi­ als and other debris is not per­ mitted. The only exception is burning on farm property for farming purposes and even this requires prior fire department approval. The Ontario Fire Code states: "Open air burn­ ing shall not be permitted unless such burning consists of a small, confined fire, supervised at all times and used to cook food on a grill or barbecue." The following are not approved: outdoor fire­ places, bonfires and burning in 45-gallon drums. Fire depart­ ment approval is not required for natural gas or propane barbe­ cues or store- bought barbe­ cues that use charcoal or bri­ quettes. A 911 response to an u n a p p r o v e d burning com ­ plaint may result in a $100 cost recovery fee under Town by­ law. Charges may also be laid under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997.
