Seniors’ home, coffee shop on the way for Dickinson Square emma.jackson@metroland.com

Manotick developer Joe Princiotta could add another 45 seniors’ units to the village core as early as 2016 if his application to the city is approved.

Princiotta submitted a site plan proposal and a zoning bylaw amendment proposal to the city in early December.

The three-storey facility

would span 1125 and 1129 Clapp Lane, kitty-corner to Watson’s Mill and several other heritage buildings in Dickinson Square.

Known for his high-end seniors’ homes – he also owns Orchardview on the Rideau across the street and Orchardview Living Centre a few kilometres east – Princiotta said he’s responding to demand.

“My initial reaction was to put a condo building there,

but more importantly there’s a need for independent living,” he said. Princiotta’s got the market wrapped up in Manotick; independent residents can start off at the new building and then move across the street when they decide they need daily medical care, Princiotta said.

The land in question is bordered by Dickinson and Bridge Streets, and would require the demolition of the Clapp House at 1125 Clapp and another single family home on 1129 Clapp. The new building would offer 45 units running residents up to $5,000 a month for the largest, including food and services.

Residents would have access to fitness and lounge areas, regular physiotherapy and activities, a dining area and open kitchen.

Most parking would be located underground, accessed from an entrance on Clapp Lane.

Living the dream Jesse and Lisa Wilton find new things to celebrate around every corner of their new dream home in Manotick, which they won on Jan. 7 as part of the grand prize package in CHEO’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. The West Carleton family scooped up the furnished home in Minto’s Mahogany development as well as a new car, $5,000 in groceries, housecleaning services and more. It was a great start to 2015 for the family after enduring “a tough year” in 2014. For the full story, see page 4.

Osgoode association looks for change at annual meeting Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Fire and ice Duncan Poole, left, and Jonathan Cressman clash at Hog’s Back Park on Jan. 4 during the weekly get-together of the Felfrost larpers – a group of local live action role players.

Despite the freezing rain, which had turned the field into a sheet of ice, the local larpers did battle as wizards, warriors, scouts and healers.

The Osgoode Village Community Association is looking to extend term lengths and clarify membership boundaries at its annual general meeting on Jan. 22.

The board has had a tumultuous few months as internal disagreements have caused divisions and resignations.

President Rob Brewster resigned from his post in early January after only one year in office because he wants to take on advocacy projects in Osgoode ward instead of simply acting as “an event planner” for the community association, he said.

Board member Greg Thurlow is interim president in Brewster’s place until the AGM, where members will elect board members for nine of the 11 executive positions.

Along with the general election, the executive is also putting forward a number of

amendments to the association’s constitution, most notably a clarification limiting membership to those residents who live within the Osgoode village boundaries and the K0A 2W0 postal code immediately surrounding the village.

The proposed change makes it explicit that executive members and even ordinary voting members must live within those boundaries in order to make decisions within the association.

“I’m not going to turn down any offers to help (with events), but as far as the executive itself, it has to be that zone,” Thurlow said.

The board also wants to lengthen the term a board member can serve to three years instead of two.

“We have a lot of new members on the executive and they felt like two years wasn’t long enough to get their ideas through,” said Thurlow. “It takes about one year to learn

the ropes, and two years to get things done.”

The organization, like many non-profit groups, has struggled to find enough volunteers to organize and run Canada Day and the Santa Claus parade, the association’s two flagship events.

The Canada Day celebrations were almost cancelled in 2014 because so few people were stepping up to help.

But Thurlow said he isn’t concerned that the longer terms could chase away potential volunteers who don’t want to make such a large commitment.

“I’m not going to hold a ball and chain to you,” he said. “We’d like you to stay three years, but if you can’t do it we’re very fluid about it. It’s more that we’re telling people if you want to be president or vice-president, you really have to think about it.”

Thurlow said the AGM’s main event will be a speech from new Osgoode Coun.

George Darouze, who will talk about his plans to create a ward advisory council. Depending on what those plans entail, the village association will adapt to fill any gaps, Thurlow said.

“This is for us to hear from George about what he sees as a community council and then we’ll fit our picture into what George does,” he said.

“Until I hear George’s vision for what he wants, I can’t comment.”

All members of the public are welcome to the meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the upstairs hall of the Osgoode community centre.

Coffee shop will offer public space, washrooms in the square nate,” Moffatt said. “What runs the square? Senior volunteers. You’re adding people to an area in which they can actually integrate incredibly well in the community.

There’s so many activities for seniors to be involved in the core of Manotick.”

Princiotta said he expects he’ll have a public meeting to discuss the details of the development sometime this year, but Moffatt said it’s not a question or whether or not the project goes forward.

“That’s not really what’s in question here,” he said. “What it comes down to is the site plan: are there features you don’t like, will an entrance on Dickinson Street be a problem; the tree loss will be very difficult for people.”

Full details on the site plan can be found at ottawa.ca/ devapps.

The vacant homes on 1129 and 1125 Clapp Lane will be demolished to make way for a 45-unit seniors’ living facility in Dickinson Square, seen here in an artist’s rendering from Bridge Street at the corner of Dickinson Street. Developer Joe Princiotta hopes to have shovels in the ground by the spring of 2016.

Princiotta also plans to include a coffee shop, something that was mandated by the city when he first brought forward his proposal as part of a request for offers process 18 months ago.

“We had to provide some commercial space, so instead of doing something totally commercial I wanted to do something good for the square,” he said.

The coffee shop would be open to public, seating about 25 people and offering public washroom access.

Combined with a public gazebo outside, the shop should dovetail nicely with the planned Remembrance Park that’s on track to open across the street in 2017, he said.

The public has seen a version of this plan before; Princiotta had to present it to the city’s Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation more than a year ago in order to buy 1125 Clapp. That property is one of five in the square the city is trying to sell or lease in an effort to recoup the $2.15 million it paid for them in 2007.

The corporation’s board – chaired by Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt – set out strict guidelines dictating what can and cannot be developed in the square, and bidders have to meet a long list of requirements including experience in the heritage or tourism business before the board approves the sale.

So far only two of the five

properties have been sold: the Clapp Lane property to Princiotta in December 2013, and the Weaver House in May 2014 to owners of a homebased spa.

Princiotta recently backed out of his initial bid to buy the Ayres building, which currently is home to the Rural Ottawa South Support Services, saying he didn’t have time to develop it properly.

Princiotta’s bid has changed somewhat since he first proposed it, rising in density from 32 to 45 proposed units now that he has purchased 1129 Clapp next door.

Moffatt said a bit of density in the village core isn’t such a bad thing.

“Most people don’t want to see Manotick expanded outward, so there has to be give and take. You can’t just stag-

Dream Home winners catch big break after tough year West Carleton residents shocked to win $1.7M Manotick home Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

“Oh my god.� “This is incredible.� “Look, look, look!�

Sounds of utter disbelief echoed through the CHEO dream home in Manotick on Jan. 7 after Lisa Wilton and her family won the hospital lottery’s grand prize that afternoon.

It was the family’s first time seeing the home, having bought the ticket in Kanata for Wilton’s birthday. “I’m a little overwhelmed,� said a tearful Wilton. “You can’t top this birthday present.�

The good luck couldn’t have come at a better time for the West Carleton family, who was happy to say goodbye to 2014 after a tough year.

Wilton’s father was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer in March and died at the end of April. A week and a half later, the family’s 13-yearold dog died, as well. “And then the truck died, and then another car died, and then money problems from all that,� said Wilton, who added they’ve been trying

to sell their Woodlawn home since June. “Obviously 2015 is trying to show off.�

The 5,200-square-foot CHEO dream home is located just south of the village of Manotick, in Minto’s new Mahogany development. It’s a far cry from the cramped 1,200square-foot home three of the four family members live in now.

The dream home is fully furnished – complete with a home theatre room, massive kitchen, heated floors and toys like kayaks and bikes. Wilton’s two adult sons, James, 20, and Josh, 24, were especially impressed with the basement rec room, which includes an exquisite bar area, pool tables and outdoor lounge. Her husband Jesse was most impressed by the kitchen – especially since when CHEO foundation members first called, they thought they had won something small, like a slow cooker. “I would have been happy with the crock pot,� Wilson laughed.

As part of the grand prize package, Wilton also takes home $100,000 in cash, a 2015 Cadillac ATS luxury car, house cleaning for a year and $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy. In total, the package is worth $1.7 million.

of the children’s hospital.

CHEO Foundation president Kevin Keohane said the whole point of the lottery is to change lives: those of the winning ticket holders, but also those of the patients at the hospital.

The fact that Wilton already does that as part of her day job makes her prize all the more poignant, Keohane said. “We’ve struggled ... it’s tough sometimes,� added Jesse. “(Wilton) deserves good things, and eventually karma comes around in the right way.�

The lottery campaign brought in record profits this year, earning just over $3 million for the hospital. The tickets sold out for the first time since 2011, although Keohane said it’s always close to a sell-out.

He speculates that ditching the spring lottery this year to focus only on the fall likely helped push ticket sales over the top, along with the second-annual 50/50 draw which this year raised more than $500,000 in profits.

Ottawa resident Kosta Pezoulas won that draw, taking home more than $520,000.

The lottery’s second prize went to Carol and Charles Nagy, who took home $100,000 cash, a 2015 Hyundai Genesis, a seven-day Eastern or Western Caribbean Cruise for two and a $10,000 gift certificate for Jubilee Fine Jewelers.

The foundation also added a new “hurry up to the Grey Cup� incentive that sent several early ticket buyers to the Grey Cup game in British Columbia earlier this fall.

Thousands of dollars more in prizes were announced Thursday, Jan. 8 at dreamofalifetime.ca. A list of winning ticket numbers is posted on the website.

Eat, skate, laugh at the Greely Winter Carnival

REGISTER NOW FOR OUR

SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Greely’s coolest festival is back with another packed lineup to please every member of the family.

This year’s Greely Winter Carnival kicks off with a family-friendly skate and spaghetti night on Wednesday, Jan. 21 and continues until the final notes of the Greely Idol competition fade away on Sunday, Jan. 25.

The festival’s highlight always comes on Saturday night, when the ever-popular Absolute Comedy brings its show on the road to the Greely Community Centre.

The evening includes a catered buffet dinner, several comedians from the downtown comedy club and, this year, a set by Ottawa band The White Lake Effect.

Another popular event is the Police vs. Firefighters hockey game on the community centre’s outdoor rink; a big crowd came out for last year’s inaugural game and Greely Community Association president Bruce Brayman expects another good turnout this year on Saturday afternoon. Volunteers will collect food donations for the Enniskerry food cupboard.

And the area’s rising stars are already warming up for the

Good start, but more needed

I

t was long overdue.

However, the sacking this week of Julian Fantino, the beleagured Veterans Affairs Minister, should be just the first step if the federal government is serious about mending fences with veterans.

The new veterans affairs minister, Erin O’Toole, has a major task ahead of him. Being a former military man himself and his reputation of being affable sort should help.

He can’t help but be an improvement on Fantino, who alienated veterans, normally supporters of the Conservatives, with his behaviour that verged on the edge of boorishness.

However, saying “it’s an honour for me to serve our veterans” and being nicer to them in face-toface meetings won’t address the many grievances that they have with the government.

O’Toole and the Conservative government have to show they are taking veterans’ concerns seriously by improving mental health services and financial support for distressed veterans. Enough of leaving

needed funds unspent, spreading out announced increases in assistance over 50 years and allowing claims to bog down in the bureaucracy.

If you don’t believe improvements are needed, ask the Royal Canadian Legion, hardly a radical organization of malcontents. In response to Fantino’s departure, the Legion said it hopes the change will bring “better action” on the issues facing veterans and their families. It pointed to three specific areas where the government needs to improve veterans benefits.

In its release, the Legion made note of the outpouring of support for veterans on Remembrance Day and urged the government and all political parties to “put the past behind and move forward to create an environment where veterans know that this country’s obligation to care for them when they need it will be met.”

Shuffling ministers and soothing words aren’t enough. The new minister and the government need to take concrete actions to take better care of veterans.

Make sure we’re memorializing the right thing

T

he amount of public criticism that has surfaced on the proposed Memorial to the Victims of Communism should persuade the government to give the project a rethink.

Some of the criticism has centred on the location of the memorial – a now-open space between the Supreme Court building and the Library and Archives on Wellington Street.

Some argue either that the space should be preserved as the last bit of open space on the street. Others say that the space was intended for a new Federal Court building.

If the government accepts either of those lines of thought, it should not be difficult to find somewhere else to put the memorial. A trickier question, however, is the character of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the memorial itself, or whether there should be one at all.

Let’s assume the memorial will go ahead. It’s probably too late, not to mention politically unacceptable, to stop it. How could the memorial be re-imagined to take into account the second criticism – that, by dealing only with the victims of communism, it neglects those who have suffered under other forms of totalitarianism?

Well, it could be called a Memorial to the Victims of Totalitarianism,

and that would bring in victims of the Nazism, it would bring in Cambodians, Rwandans, refugees from Somalia and some Middle Eastern countries, among others.

Or, and here’s what seems more promising, the memorial could put aside the notion of victimhood altogether and concentrate instead on those who have come to our shores, benefitted from and made a contribution to life in Canada. We would be celebrating instead of mourning.

We would also be in line with modern trends in the use of the language. It may verge on political correctness, but there is a movement away from the use of such terms as “suffering,” where it refers to people living with illness.

the term “victim” when referring to victims. The preference is for the word “survivor,” largely because there is a connotation of powerlessness and passivity that clings to the word “victim.”

That sounds a lot like what we have come to know in Canada, as those who came over from Hungary in 1956 or Vietnam in 1979, to take two examples, settled here, adjusted to Canadian life, had jobs and families and helped make their lives and their country better. Freedom, it’s called. Wouldn’t that be worth a memorial?

To be sure, there have been some blots on Canada’s record, but most of our history has been one of welcoming people from troubled places, helping them adjust to life here and learning to enjoy the contributions they make to our life.

If we are going to memorialize anything, it should be the spirit that has enabled the survival of so many who make up this country’s population and their role in keeping Canada a free and decent place.

Yep, this is winter on the farm

I

t occurred to me that my sheep may be cold. I went out to the barnyard to check on the pregnant brood of cattle when I heard a faint bleating from the barn. I followed the well-beaten path into the room where the heated water is available for the beasts to have a good, long drink. There was Gracie, curled up between two mounds of frozen dirt. This is her first winter without friends for body heat.

Gracie spends her days with Donkey and Misty, the big Belgian horse. Her comrades are also her protectors, but I don’t know if they would curl up with her to sleep. And this time of year, when the horse and donkey come into the stable at night, Gracie is left alone in the barn.

At night the cows come in and huddle together, and that should warm things up considerably. It’s just the bitter midday cold that has me worried about her. She has a good fleece coat

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife but I’m sure she would like to cuddle up to someone for that extra bit of warmth on a windy, cold winter day. Just one more reason why sheep shouldn’t be kept as solitary animals, the Farmer will say.

On my way back to the house I passed through the stable. It wasn’t yet time to put the horse and donkey in.

Donkey thought otherwise, however, and started tailgating me closely. He fairly skipped over the last few piles of frozen dung to catch up with me as I opened the stable door.

I would have had to slam it in his face to keep him out, so I didn’t. I ushered him into the

warm stable, with the horse close behind.

Once the animals were inside their stalls, I loaded up the feeders with hay, filled the buckets with warm water and measured out portions of sweet feed.

That’s where the trouble started. I put Misty’s sweet feed bowl in front of her, but before I had even put Donkey’s snack in front of him, the big horse reached over the partition that separated them and nipped him on the neck.

I guess this is her way of reminding him that it is only out of her generosity that he is getting a snack at all. I gave her a scolding, firmly clasped the tie on

her halter, and moved Donkey’s treat just out of her reach so she could neither steal it nor bite him. Still, it took some coaxing before Donkey would turn back around from where he hung his head in the corner. I think his pride was hurt. The politics of farm animals.

The bald spots on Donkey’s back are getting some hair regrowth. The sulfur lotion I have been applying to his bare patches seems to be working really well and that’s a good thing because I think it stings.

The last time he sensed I was trying to dribble some of the stuff on his back he did a double-legged donkey hop-kick sort of a thing to discourage me from further treatment.

That kind of freaked me out.

I was in the horse stall with him at the time. If he decided to line up and kick me, I wouldn’t stand a chance. And I’ve heard his hooves hit the wall. It sounds like a gunshot. So, the treatment has ended.

The cows are due to give birth any day now. We aren’t exactly sure when they are due, because it wasn’t a case of getting a bull and letting them dance to-

gether. A mature bull sets about his business right away. You can pretty much mark the date on the calendar and expect the calves nine months later.

The little bull we got in the fall of 2013 was probably old enough to perform in the spring of 2014 but we aren’t exactly sure about that. He was pretty tiny. Our cows, however, appear to be massively pregnant.

Every morning and afternoon we have to walk the perimeter of the barnyard looking for calves.

Particularly this week, when it’s expected to be bitter cold, we don’t want any calves born outside in the snow.

We will have to make room inside the barn for the mamas as soon as they show signs of labour, so we don’t lose any young to winter.

Snowmobile ride supports ovarian cancer research Manotick News staff

2015

Snowmobilers can celebrate the snowy weather with a ride to support their mothers, wives, daughters and maybe even themselves on Saturday, Jan. 24.

The inaugural Ride for Her (Snowmobile Style) in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada hopes to raise $2,000 during the event, which includes breakfast at the Red Dot Cafe, a lunch at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and, of course, a chance to hit the trails.

There are two ride routes planned. The ‘spirited route’ is a four-hour ride beginning with breakfast and registration at 8 a.m. The ‘casual route’ is a more relaxed, family-friendly ride that begins with breakfast at 9:15 a.m. Both will end together at the raceway for a light lunch and silent auction.

Items up for grabs include a kids’ Team Canada jersey signed by Metcalfe hockey

great Larry Robinson, a home spa package worth $400, a day at Metcalfe Golf Club including dinner and a new golf bag, a gift certificate for KS on the Keys restaurant and a handmade baby quilt.

Organizers are also raffling off a number of smaller items, including Montreal Canadien and Toronto Maple Leaf swag, gift baskets and car maintenance gift cards.

The first 50 riders to register will receive a gift bag full of coupons, samples and gift cards. The person who raises the most pledges will receive an extra prize.

Registration is $25 and includes breakfast, lunch and the ride.

The event is organized by Business in Motions, which over the past two years has raised more than $5,700 for Ovarian Cancer Canada’s local research efforts.

Currently, the only definitive way to determine if someone

has ovarian cancer is to examine tissue that has been removed through surgery or a biopsy, according to the foundation.

Much of the research into the cancer so far has emphasized early detection, since the disease is the deadliest cancer for women in Canada.

At the moment, there is no screening test for the disease.

According to the foundation, 45 per cent of all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer survive five years, compared to 89 per cent of women with breast cancer.

Those diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer only have a 30 per cent chance of survival. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, an estimated 2,700 Canadian women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2014, and about 1,750 women died from it.

To register for the event, call Business in Motions at 613-8214895 or Kyle Burry with the Osgoode Carleton Snowmobile Trail Club at 613-222-5939.

Local brews on tap for care centre event Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Organizers are hoping support will bubble over at the third-annual Busting Out the Brews fundraiser for the Osgoode Care Centre on Jan. 30.

Tickets are more than half sold for the popular beer and wine tasting event at Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm in Metcalfe, which has raised more than $26,000 at each of the past two events. Organizer Wendy Hill said her committee hopes to push amount that over the $30,000 mark this year.

“Everyone has been housebound for a couple months, so it’s an opportunity to forget the snow and cold and wind outside while supporting a home that most people in our community have had people in, are in right now or will be coming into someday,” Hill said. “It’s a lot of fun but it pulls at the heartstrings, too.”

The care centre on Snake Island Road between Metcalfe

A silent auction will include a number of smaller items, including rounds of golf at Emerald Links, Anderson Links and Cloverdale Links, a free septic pumping treatment and a pampering session for pooches at the Fluff Me Buff Me K-9 Palace in Manotick.

The evening begins at 7 p.m.

Guests can try samples of beer from local craft breweries like Beaus, Kichesippi, Cassel and, new this year, Bicycle Craft Beer.

Wines from Blue Gypsy, Joseph’s Estate and Domaine Perrault wineries will also be available.

Food samples will be provided by the Red Dot Cafe in Osgoode, Winchelsea Catering, St. Albert cheese, and a smokehouse in Carp. Carleton Mushroom has also donated some mushrooms for the evening’s tapas.

Tickets are available at Metcalfe Variety, the Scotiabank branch in Osgoode or through Wendy Hill at the care centre.

The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Register Now! M

and Osgoode villages has been working toward a $500,000 fundraising goal to replace the facility’s roof, furniture and other amenities since September 2012. They hope to hit their mark by this coming September, but they’ve still got a ways to go, sitting just under $360,000 collected so far.

“I still think we can do this,” Hill said, noting the fundraising is picking up again now that the end is in sight. “People can see the end and I can see the enthusiasm. We just need to pull together.”

Busting Out the Brews is a big part of that. For $30, guests can enjoy samples of local beer and wine as well as hors d’oeuvres from restaurants and caterers across the Ottawa Valley.

Local rock band Ambush will maintain the party atmosphere, and then the real fun begins with a live auction for prizes like an Amish shed worth $3,600, a signed Bobby Orr jersey, and a wine fridge.

Greely singer to appear on CBC’s Heartland Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Greely native Stephanie La Rochelle will make her television acting debut on Jan. 25 when she plays a busking runaway on CBC’s long-running drama, Heartland.

Her character is an aspiring country singer, and comes into contact with the Heartland cast when she’s busking for change with her guitar.

La Rochelle said the role is perfect for her because it allows her to sing as well as act. She sings a few songs in the episode, including one she wrote herself, called Seize the Day. That song will be released on iTunes as her first single the same day as her television appearance. It is already available for pre-order.

While La Rochelle said she still considers herself a singer first, she said the acting gig could turn out to be a breakout role for her.

“This was really my first big role for TV and film so it as a really great experience,” she said, noting her Heartland character could come back for other episodes.

La Rochelle landed the role through an audition in Toronto last August. She joined the Heartland cast to film the episode at the end of September.

“It was amazing, I had such a good time,” she said. “The

Heartland is now airing its eighth episode this season. The show follows a farming family in Western Canada “as they chase big dreams and manage life’s setbacks,” according to the show’s website.

Along with the upcoming single, La Rochelle is also spending time in a Kanata recording studio developing several other original songs, which she hopes will be released on iTunes by the spring.

• 1 clove garlic, crushed • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh mint • 50 ml (1/4 cup) each coarsely chopped hazelnuts and dried apricots • 25 ml (2 tbsp) pumpkin seeds (pepitas) Preparation

In a large bowl, stir together the squash, oil, maple syrup, salt, cumin and cayenne, and then place the mixture on a

baking sheet. Roast in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes, then stir and roast until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a sieve, rinse the quinoa very well under cold water. Place in a medium saucepan and add 250 ml (1 cup) water. Cover and bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. If any water remains, drain it away. Cover the quinoa and let it stand for five minutes, then fluff with fork.

In a large bowl, place the squash, quinoa and red onion and let it cool slightly.

For the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, oil and garlic in a small bowl and pour it over the salad.

Add the mint, hazelnuts, apricots and pumpkin seeds and toss to coat.

Emerson finds use for leather leggings

F

or my sister Audrey and me, the big box sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor held as much excitement as picking potato bugs on a hot summer day.

It had come that winter’s day, after we got the call from the CPR station that it had arrived.

Rarely, if ever, was there a thing in the box for Audrey or me.

Aunt Lizzie had two sons, and so the hand-me-down box was always filled with things like serge suit coats and an assortment of half worn out shoes. Sometimes, there would be something of value that would cause my three brothers a free-for-all as each tried to lay claim, but that was rare.

Audrey and I watched from our position at the kitchen table, as Everett took the crowbar to the wood lid to pry off the lid. On the top was the usual array of odds and ends. Halfway down into the box, Everett pulled out two odd looking objects that very much resembled long spats. I was very

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories familiar with this fashionable bit of men’s clothing, because Grandfather wore grey felt ones over his shoes, which I thought was just about the classiest bit of men’s wear I had ever seen.

Certainly, not one of the farmers in the Northcote area wore spats.

But what Everett hauled out of the wood box wasn’t made of felt. And they were much too long to be spats. They were made of soft, rich brown leather. Everett turned them over in his hand a couple times, and suggested they looked like they might be put on a horse in the cold weather.

Mother got out of her chair and snatched them away from Everett.

“Those are genuine leather leggings,” she said with awe in her voice. “I used to see them on young lads in New York all the time. Must admit, I have never seen them out here, though.”

She held them out at arm’s length across the room, in front of each brother.

“What a shame, I doubt they will fit any one of you.”

And she went on to tell us how only the very wealthy in New York wore leather leggings.

Emerson, ever willing to be classed as just a cut above average, suggested they would be just fine to wear to the Northcote School. Mother looked at the brother who at 12 stood just

Pet Adoptions

MIA (ID# A166457)

Meet Mia (ID# A166457), an affectionate kitty with sleek black fur seeking her happily ever after. Mia enjoys playing with soft toys and to would love to watch the world go by from a window in your living room. This beautiful girl wants you all to herself so she’d prefer to be the only kitty in your life. Mia is an extremely loving cat but prefers to come to you when she needs attention — she loves to rub her face against you, the wall, the chair, or anything that will sit still for her! She uses her scratching posts like a pro so she’d like to have one in her new forever home.

For more information on Mia and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

under six feet tall, and whose muscular legs were as round as a stovepipe. She assured him they would never go around.

“See, they are supposed to button up the sides. They’ll miss closing by a good four inches.”

And she set them aside, no doubt already wondering how she could make them over. For the time being, they would be packed away.

The next morning, Emerson was already downstairs in the kitchen when the rest of us came down for breakfast. Emerson sat in Father’s chair by the stove, his feet up on the oven door, and the leather leggings covering his shins from knee almost to his ankle. His breaks fitted tightly at the top, and his short gum rubbers somehow looked awfully out of place on his leather covered legs. Mother of course, hurried over to the stove to see how he had made them fit. Audrey and I were right behind her.

Life is not easy for kids with physical disabilities. They face all kinds of challenges doing everyday things that able-bodied kids take for granted. However, you can improve their lives by giving to Easter Seals Ontario. You’ll be providing financial assistance for essential equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers and ramps as well as vital communication devices. You’ll even help send a kid to a fully accessible Easter Seals camp designed for kids just like them. Reach out to help kids with physical disabilities live better lives. Give today!

Bare legs no match for winter weather He had taken the laces out of Father’s work boots, and with a wide gap between the eyes and the hooks of the leggings, he had laced them up.

Bare leg showed where the leather should have met, but it didn’t matter a whit to Emerson. He got them on and that’s all that was important. Now, one would think Emerson would feel self conscious about going off to the Northcote school in something as foreign as leather leggings. But not my brother Emerson.

And so off he went to the Northcote School in the dead of winter.

He was sure everyone would be very impressed. Eighteen pairs of eyes scanned him up and down. Emerson said how the very well off people in New York wore them all the time.

He made no apology for the fact they didn’t meet even half way around his leg. I expected trouble from Cecil. But one look at Emerson’s almost six-foot frame, and there wasn’t as much as a snicker.

It was a bitterly cold day, and by recess the wind had worked up to a frenzy, and there stood Emerson bundled up like someone from the North Pole, but his legs as bare as a badger where the leggings didn’t meet. It wasn’t long before he was shaking from head to toe. Fortunately Miss Crosby let him back into the school before she rang the bell. Luckily, Father had to go to Briscoe’s General Store that afternoon, and he came by the school to offer a ride home. Emerson was saved from walking home in the snow with almost-bare legs. When we got home, Emerson took off the leggings.

The marks from the laces up his legs looked like railroad ties.

Mother wrapped the leggings in tissue paper, put them in the upstairs trunk, and announced she was sure she could find a use for them some day. Emerson was going to have to think of some other way to impress the kids at the Northcote School.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Unexpected news excites you, Aries. Even though you’re not yet sure if the news is good or bad, you have high hopes that positive information is on the way.

Libra, a problem with no obvious solution has you seeing both sides of the argument. Dwell on things for a little while longer, and the solution will eventually come to you.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, you have an abundance of energy and you have to find a way to harness it for the greater good. Find a new hobby or volunteer for a local project.

Scorpio, you are planning some big moves and you are bound to have a number of supporters behind you. Others want you to succeed so take an opportunity and run with it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Now is not a good time to make significant financial decisions, Gemini. You have to make changes when the time is right, and you will know when that day arrives.

Take extra care with projects at work, Sagittarius. A difficult problem may arise, and a careful approach to the tasks at hand can help you nip that problem in the bud.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, your mood is uplifting to those around you. Maintain this optimistic outlook in the weeks ahead, and good fortune is bound to come your way.

Capricorn, you will forge a new relationship this week, and it may lead to a solid friendship that lasts a number of years. Feelings are bound to get more intense.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, don’t be afraid to accept a helping hand at work. Seek help from others if no offers are immediately forthcoming. Explore all of your networking possibilities.

This is a great week for brainstorming, Aquarius. Once you have a few solid ideas, put your plans into motion. At least one should pan out quite well.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Keep an extra-sharp mind this week, Virgo, as there isn’t anything you cannot accomplish if you put your mind to it. Try tackling those big projects that you have been avoiding.

Someone is trying to steer you in one direction, Pisces. Politely decline if that direction is the opposite of what you want to do.
