EMC news - Osgoode residents may lose their Canada Day celebration if more volunteers don’t step up. Osgoode Village Community Association president Lori Daneliak said that only four people volunteer each year, and they are always the same people - members of the association’s executive. To properly run the annual festivities, she said a minimum of 15 volunteers are needed. “The question is: does Osgoode want the festivities as big as they have been?” Daneliak said. “The volunteering has not been reflective of that.” The Canada Day event includes children’s activities, wife-carrying contests and other adult games and a barbecue in the afternoon, as well as a parade and fireworks in the evening. For the four volunteers and their families, the event is a two-day job from set-up to clean-up. With more bodies, the work would be more evenly distributed, Daneliak said. Cancelling the event is one of the main discussions on the agenda for the community association’s annual general meeting on Thursday, Jan. 24. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Stuart Holmes arena, and Daneliak said everyone is welcome to discuss the issue or volunteer. The other hot topic on the agenda is a proposed two-year pilot project to allow all-terrain vehicles to use trails in Osgoode Ward that are technically unopened road allowances, as well as the shoulders of some roads. At the moment, ATVs are
only legally allowed to cross roads at 90-degree angles – not drive alongside them. The ATV club has proposed a trail and shoulder network that includes shoulders along Cabin Road between Doyle Road and Manotick Station Road, and Manotick Station Road between Cabin Road and Springhill Road, and a few other small links along roadsides. The trial period is still a ways off – city staff must research whether it’s a good idea and talk to residents in the community. But the goal is to allow the Nation Valley ATV Club use and maintain the trails for about two years. After that, city council could make the arrangement permanent. The road allowances would be open for ATVs and recreational users such as off-road cyclists or horse riders, but “specialty vehicles” such as dirt bikes and dune buggies would be prohibited. Adam Brown, with the city’s rural affairs office, will make a presentation about the city’s plans for the trial period. Greely resident and club spokesperson Kris Gough will also speak about his club’s proposal, and will lead a question and answer period. “I think they’ve organized it really well and I think the presentations they’ve put together will quash any concerns,” Daneliak said. She said the association doesn’t support or oppose the pilot project, but is facilitating conversation before the city begins official public consultations. The ATV question came to a contentious peak in late 2010 and early 2011, when the city was deciding who could use the new Osgoode multi-use pathway that follows an old rail bed from Leitrim Road to Osgoode village.

Warm welcome for new community police office Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - The new Rural South Community Police Centre was officially opened at a packed ribbon cutting ceremony in Greely on Jan. 10. The new centre opened in December at 7010 Parkway Rd in Greely’s old fire hall and library. The building is now shared by the city’s public works department and the community police officer. Const. Nicole Gorham has been the community officer for more than two
years, working out of an office in the old Metcalfe town hall, also a city-owned building. She said her new office is more central for residents in her catchment area, which extends from Riverside South and Findlay Creek all the way south to the city boundary near Vernon. “It’s more central; it’s more in the community,” she said. Gorham added the Greely fire hall is also more accessible since it’s all on one level. The Metcalfe office had stairs to the upper office.
The ceremony attracted a number of VIPs, including police chief Charles Bordeleau to help cut the ribbon. “Community police offices play a critical role in building these relationships with the community,” he told a crowd that included community leaders from Osgoode, Greely, Riverside South and Vernon. Police board chairman and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry praised the money-saving partnerships the police service has been seeking out since last October. See GREELY, page 2

This was brought to my attention after I posted a video of a speech I gave in Parliament on YouTube. The speech contrasts the success of free enterprise in Canada with the failure of the welfare state in America and Europe. To my surprise, the video went viral in the U.S., receiving over 140,000 views at www.pierremp.ca/fiscal-cliff. At a time when the U.S. is dealing with fiscal cliffs and debt ceilings, Americans are looking north for answers. How has Canada avoided these debtrelated ailments in a world economy which is fragile at best?

Policies like this combined with our government’s swift action to reduce corporate tax levels have led the Wall Street Journal and Heritage Foundation to rank Canada sixth in the work on the Economic Freedom Index. The U.S. now ranks tenth.
Why You Should Cleanse
ee n
A major factor in the U.S. fiscal crisis were the policies which encouraged banks to give out sub-prime mortgages. In Canada, we did not impose these policies on our banks and thus avoided the crisis almost entirely. We did not have to bail out a single bank. To continue on this path, our Minister of Finance has ended all government-backed insurance of low-down payments and long-amortization mortgages. Taxpayers are no longer responsible for taking on risky debt.

Greely. “From our perspective it’s really great.” Osgoode Village Community Association president Lori Daneliak said the new location won’t be any more convenient than the Metcalfe office, but it will be good for the community at large. “Because it’s so close to the main street it will be easy for people to get to,” Daneliak said. She added that she’s happy the office has stayed in Osgoode Ward because Osgoode village lost its own community police office several years ago due to budget cuts.

The project was delayed several times; Gorham originally expected to be settled in to her new home last July. Community leaders support the new space. “It just reflects how the demographics are shifting,” said John McCormick, who leads the neighbourhood watch program for South Village in

Riverside South Community Association president Scott Hodge said he is pleased for now but envisions a separate community police office for Findlay Creek and Riverside South. “As it grows, we should split it in half,” Hodge said of the catchment area. Gorham’s old Metcalfe office will become a drop-in service station for bylaw officers and other city workers, so that they can access computers and phones while they are away from their home base. The downstairs office, which the community police office used as storage, may become a satellite office for Rural Ottawa South Support Services as early as March.

Secondary plan to set tone for Manotick in 2013 Truck debate, Dickinson Square decision on the table this year Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Updating Manotick’s secondary plan is first on the community’s agenda for 2013, a year that promises a lot of change. Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner said updating that document – one that hasn’t been revisited for more than a decade – will set the tone for future projects in the village and will clarify ongoing debates such as how to solve the amount of truck traffic on Manotick streets. The year holds the potential for many changes in the village, including the start of Dickinson Square’s redevelopment and completion of the long-awaited Van Vliet Road connection to Bridge Street this summer. The Strandherd-Armstrong bridge may also open with a chance to finally see if it delivers the reduction in truck traffic advocates promised. All of this happens in tandem with the bigger task of updating the village’s secondary plan, a guideline document that tells city planners and developers how and where to grow the village. While its completion may impact future developments, Beltzner said the biggest advantage to updating the plan
is an opportunity to work together as a village – something Beltzner said was happening more and more last year. “In terms of co-operation with other groups, I think 2012 was an outstanding year,” he said. “I look forward to more of that in 2013 especially as we move forward with the secondary plan review.” Engagement even among residents who aren’t members of community groups like the Manotick Lions, Kiwanis, Legion and recreation association was gaining momentum last year. “We’ve got much greater enthusiasm in the community for community engagement,” he said. He said the year’s two most contentious issues, Dickinson Square’s redevelopment and the Van Vliet connection, brought people out. He hopes to continue that participation. “Those are two areas that would be areas we can get people involved, have them participate and have them feel that they have a contribution to make and that they will be listened to,” he said. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt shared Beltzner’s optimism for the progress made in the village and across the city. “I think 2011 paled in comparison,” Moffatt said. “As
a whole, the city moved forward on a lot of big files.” In Manotick, Moffatt said his progress on the Van Vliet connection was his biggest accomplishment, since the community has been pushing for a signalized connection at that intersection for more than 30 years. The connection will be built this summer. “It’s something that should have been done years ago,” he said. “To finally give the community an answer is a good thing.” The Dickinson Square redevelopment project, which Moffatt spearheaded as chairman of the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Committee, was a contentious issue for residents in 2012. Moffatt said he was pleased that he and his staff were able to work with residents to address their concerns, such as a proposed 13.5 metre height allowance that could dwarf Watson’s Mill. It was reduced to 12 metres after public consultation. “We addressed those concerns and made the community realize that we really were working together,” Moffatt said.
fic lights. Beltzner said he wants to look at crosswalks for the busy road, and hopes to work with the Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association on solving the issue. Beltzner and Moffatt also support the proposed pedestrian link drafted by the recreation association last fall, which would extend the sidewalk along Mahogany Harbour south of Eastman Ave. The controversial part of the plan, which has been on the table in various forms for several decades, is a dock that would allow boaters to tie up and come into the village. While some say this will create tourism and business similar to Merrickville’s boat tourism, others don’t want to see the naroow and sensitive Mahogany Harbour clogged with large boats. For Beltzner, his priorities

He envisions a youth centre similar to the Osgoode Youth Association, which offers drop-in and community programming for kids and teens.
“They need a focal point that’s theirs,” he said. “One of the reasons it works so well in Osgoode is because the youth feel they have ownership. Our future is in our youth and we should focus there.”

In 2012, Thompson helped form the Greely Business Association, which has been setting itself up as a networking vehicle between businesses and customers. The councillor is also working to bring light industrial and commercial development to parts of the ward, including underused lands along Bank Street between Rideau and Mitch Owens roads, between Bank and Albion roads and along River Road. “I think it’s important to have these types of industry in the rural areas. It provides employment and saves on having to drive into town,” Thompson said.

Mayor’s Report
Fast track Bank St. widening: Thompson Continued from page 4
As a Greely resident, Thompson knows as well as anyone who commutes from rural south Ottawa that Bank Street and other north-south arterials are painfully slow during rush hour, particularly in bad weather. In 2013, Thompson said he hopes to use the city’s Transportation Master Plan review to fast-track the widening of Bank Street from Leitrim Road to Rideau, a project that is currently undergoing its environmental assessment. It could take more than five years to complete the twinning. “I’m going to work hard to shorten that time,” Thompson said. “The north-south routes are very important for our residents to drive in to work.” The councillor said he was very pleased with the first phase of Ottawa on the Move road projects that were completed in 2012, including the installation of a new culvert on Parkway Road east of Old Prescott Road. He said funds for renewed and rebuilt roads in Osgoode Ward will ramp up in 2013, peaking in 2014, and will make driving easier and safer for residents. “I’m satisfied with the amount of money we’ve gotten for infrastructure this past year,” he said. “2013 looks more promising and 2014 will
be quite significant.” One of his pet projects – and a top priority for many Greely residents, too – is the rebuilding and straightening of Parkway between Old Prescott and Apple Orchard Road, where a signalized intersection will be installed. Along with these pre-approved projects, Thompson particularly wants to focus on maintaining existing roads so that they don’t deteriorate to Parkway’s level. “We can’t just spend tax dollars on upgrading the roads,” he said. “Right now we’re spending about a third of what we should be on maintenance.” Thompson said he hopes future stimulus and infrastructure funding from the provincial and federal governments will be earmarked for better maintenance. COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Thompson also hopes to help several ongoing projects wrap up in 2013, after some experienced lengthy delays in receiving city approval last year. Organizers of Greely’s toll booth project hoped to be finished last year and the Osgoode Lions received money for an unfinished historical mural project more than a year ago. Metcalfe’s mural and beautification project is

also ongoing. Thompson said one of his big goals for the ward this year is to start the very lengthy process of bringing an ice-pad facility to rural south Ottawa. “With the development in Greely and Findlay Creek and Manotick, talking with minor hockey leagues and adult leagues there’s just not enough ice time,” Thompson said. He recognized it will be a
long process to bring an arena to the ward, especially since the Fred Barrett arena is just up the street on Leitrim Road, but its worth starting the conversation. “The demographics will change, so that’s something the minor hockey people are pushing,” he said. Other ongoing projects in 2013 include the battle to save the Rideau Carleton Raceway once the Slots at Racetracks program ends in March. Thompson said he has no specific New Year’s resolution, but hopes to keep doing what he loves. “I really enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “It’s really a great community to represent.” together with

On December 18th 2012, our City Council voted 24-0 to finalize the light rail plan that has been so long in the making for Ottawa. Named the Confederation Line and stretching from Tunney’s Pasture in the west to Blair Station in the east, work is set to begin the first half of 2013 and the line will be completed and carrying passengers in 2018. We also hope to have the downtown stations opened for all to see on Canada’s 150th Birthday on July 1st in 2017. The Confederation Line will greatly increase the capacity of our city’s transit system easing travel for transit users and also pedestrians, bikers, and drivers. This project will benefit not just one neighbourhood but the whole city. Its success is in everyone’s interest no matter where you live or how you commute. More people on the Confederation Line means less people in cars and fewer buses on our downtown streets which is good news for everyone. This is a $2.1 billion project and as with any mammoth project of this kind there will be challenges along the road. But with the Rideau Transit Group, the worldclass consortium that is building the system, I have every confidence that disruptions will be limited as much as possible. There will be short-term pain but it is for significant long-term gain. Furthermore, Council signed a fixed-price contract meaning that the city is protected against any cost overruns.
The Confederation Line is the first step in what will eventually be a light rail system that spans all of Ottawa. Soon we will begin the process of planning how to extend the system to the east, west, and south of Ottawa. But before we do so, we must focus on the task at hand which is to build the Confederation Line on time and on budget and I am confident that we will do so.

Compared to 2006, Ottawa’s population is projected to grow by up to 30 percent by 2031 and easily surpass one million residents well before then. We have to keep population growth and mobility needs uppermost in mind as we conduct the 2013 review our Transportation Master Plan. The review must maintain a steady eye on the future and give considerable effort to accommodate our further evolution as Canada’s capital and fourth largest city.

EMC news - Head around the world in only seven hours this January during Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PA Day camp on Jan. 18. Kids can save the cost of an airline ticket and enjoy a day full of activity at the mill while they learn what games and activities kids play in other countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is what are other kids doing in the world today,â&#x20AC;? said Cam Trueman, the millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would a typical kid be doing today? What would be the games theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing, what crafts?â&#x20AC;? Campers will make Japanese origami, play a Thai version of keep-it-up called takraw, and play in the snow like children in northern countries like Russia. Trueman said the group will make snow forts and even attempt to make snowshoes from nearby willow trees. The group will also travel to Ireland, and end the day discovering a warmer area of the world like Costa Rica.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to do it all in seven hours,â&#x20AC;? Trueman said. The camp begins at 9:30 a.m. and wraps up at 3:30 p.m. Trueman said the program is part of the millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate to offer fun and interesting community programming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are part of the bigger global picture,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fundraiser (for programming costs) and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little different.â&#x20AC;? The camp will take place in the Carriage Shed across the street from Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill and is recommended for children ages six to 10. Children are responsible for their own lunch. The camp costs $25 per child, with a $5 discount for Watson Mill members. Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill is the only industrial heritage site in the city, with a mandate to promote and preserve Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill as a social, cultural and educational focal point for the community and visitors. The mill is located at 5525 Dickinson St. in Manotick. To register call 613-6926455 or email watsonsmillprograms@rogers.com.

Snow removal: you get what you pay for
S
now is a fact of life when you live in Ottawa between November and April. Or October and May. Depends on the year. When two big snowfalls hit the city inside a week, snow removal crews were kept running at full speed to keep traffic moving and they did an admirable job. That hasn’t prevented some citizens from complaining about the aftermath.
Yes, some sidestreets didn’t get cleared over and over again as the snow fell and wind blew cleared snow from the edges of roads back into the travel lanes. Some multilane streets were reduced to single lanes. But safety never suffered. If drivers adapt to the conditions – or just stay home when storms hit their peak – snowy roads work just fine. Those people who proclaimed side streets as the
worst they’d ever seen should check and see if they survived. The sky did not fall. City taxpayers foot the bill for snow clearing, so maybe we shouldn’t wish for even greater snow-clearing capabilities. The city administration seems to have discovered the right amount of resources to throw at Mother Nature when she sends multiple snowstorms at us in a short period of time.
In a nutshell, you get the services you are willing to pay for. We could have gold-plated plows and teams of snowremoval technicians with shovels on every street to catch the flakes before they hit the ground. Your street could be buffed and blown dry by morning. Not only would that be costly, but what would happen to all the snow removal equipment during a winter when
there is little snowfall? That very expensive equipment would sit around city yards rusting and depreciating. School boards face a parallel situation. Schools could be built with enough classrooms to hold every child, without a single portable in the yard. But what makes more sense over the lifetime of a school is to construct buildings for the average student population and use portables to deal with a handful of years when
enrolment peaks. The city’s snow removal strategy strikes a similar balance. We have enough plows to get us through a string of storms, but not enough to make every road look like it’s summertime within a day or two of a blizzard. That’s sensible spending. If global weather continues to become less predictable – maybe with warmer winters or snowier ones – city council may need to reconsider the snow removal budget and buy or sell equipment. Until then, our snow removal people should get a pat on the back and keep on truckin’.
COLUMN
Cultural fall out from dropping the puck CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
I
f you read the papers and listen to the radio you know our life is about to get way better because NHL hockey is back, after having stayed away for almost half a season and creating a huge gap in our lives. The sports pages are filling up with actual hockey stories about actual hockey players and whether they have a nice touch around the net. There is speculation about trades and line combinations. This already makes life better for sports page readers, who got really tired of reading about the players and the owners negotiating or not negotiating or not even talking about negotiating. This might have been the worst reading in the history of sports journalism. Anything is an improvement on that and reading actual game stories about the Ottawa Senators and their hated opponents will be a great improvement still. Those whose needs are greater will find satisfaction in the sports talk shows on the radio, where line combinations are examined in even greater depth. Now it begins again and not a moment too soon for many of the experts on our culture, who keep saying that hockey defines us as a people. Of course there’s something in that. Many of us play or have played hockey, many more watch hockey or listen to it on the radio. But hockey doesn’t define everybody. Even in Ottawa. Look how long we went without an NHL team. The previous Senators vacated the premises in 1934; the current Senators didn’t arrive until 1992. That’s a 58 years with no NHL team to define us. And yet we survived somehow as a city, as a city of Canadians who
are supposed to be defined by hockey. This must mean that there are things other than hockey that occupy space in the hearts of people in the National Capital Region. It may also mean that there are people among us who, even now, define themselves as something other than Senators fans. In fact, amazing as it may seem, they may not even think of hockey when it comes time to define themselves. They may define themselves in terms of their jobs. They may define themselves as runners, guitar players, readers, grandparents, hipsters, foodies, Presbyterians, skateboarders, gardeners or even baseball fans. Yet here they all are living in this country that’s defined by hockey. And hockey season is starting. Which means that all those skateboarders, guitar players and grandparents are going to be living, whether they like it or not, in a world of line combinations, plus-minus statistics and rumors of impending firings of general managers. It behooves those who live happily in Hockey World to be respectful of those who choose other pursuits. They think they have reason to fear us, and no wonder. Slap Shot was on TV the other night and those who live in Hockey World always tune in for at least part of it. It seems quite Canadian, although it’s a Hollywood movie. But is it really Canadian, all that enthusiastic brawling and blood on the ice? It’s what many hockey fans deplore yet, at the same time, we somehow identify with it in a way that American moviegoers cannot. One of the things that defines us, in other words, is our enjoyment of a movie about hockey brawls. This gets a bit scary and it is probably just as well that in real hockey, as opposed to movie hockey, there are referees and brawling is at least officially frowned upon. So, as the real hockey starts, try to be sympathetic towards those of other tastes, remembering that, to some Canadians, condominium height, garbage pickup and light rail are as important as defence pairings and face-off percentages. As they say, it takes all kinds.

Snowsuits to get free flight to Nunavut emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - A fateful trip to a Manotick drug store could mean a warmer winter for kids in Nunavut. Christopher Scrivens, a 21year-old pilot from the Metcalfe area, spent 10 months flying for Air Nunavut in 2012. While living in the North, his mother Patti-Anne visited him twice, bringing clothing for local residents at
her son’s request. Together they witnessed the abject poverty of some communities and came up with a plan to collect snowsuits for Nunuvut children who don’t have proper winter clothes, despite an average of -35 C weather in January. “The kids didn’t really have a lot,” Scrivens said. He and his mother organized the Nunuvut Snowsuit Fund, and a drop-off bin has been set up in MacKinnon’s
Foodland in Greely. But the bigger problem – how to get the snowsuits to the north – wasn’t solved until Patti-Anne stopped in to the Shoppers Drug Mart in Manotick. She overheard Marc Wood taking a business call and noticed the logo on his hat: Canadian North airline. Wood is the only Canadian North airline employee in Ottawa. “It was fate,” Patti-Anne said. She struck up a conver-
sation, and asked if his company would deliver the snowsuits. The free flight has now been confirmed. “We will do everything possible to move whatever snowsuits are donated,” Wood said. Wood lived in Northern Canada in the 1970s, and said even then the poverty was acute. “There’s a need for general improvement,” he said. Donors can drop gently used or new snowsuits and boots off at MacKinnon’s
Foodland and at the Larga Baffin at 1071 Richmond Rd in Westboro. On Jan. 9, local real estate agent Betty Ann Hinch kicked off the campaign with a donation of four brand new snowsuits, including several for toddlers. Once the snowsuits reach Iqaluit, they will be distributed to smaller outlying communities with the help of the RCMP. “They know where it’s needed,” Patti-Anne said. She said she’s impressed to
see several community groups and individuals collaborating. “It’s kind of cool that it’s all coming together.” Kit MacKinnon, who runs the Foodland with her husband, has spent time in the North with her daughter as well and said she has also seen the poverty first hand. “I just want to help,” she said. For more information or to inquire about donations, email nunavutsnowsuitfund@ hotmail.com.

Warming up to end homelessness Toque sales to help street youth Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - The coolest way to stay warm this winter is also the hottest way to help homeless youth. Students at Osgoode Township High School are selling toques as part of an annual nationwide campaign to end youth homelessness. Members of the Metcalfe high school’s student council are selling the black hats for $10 each during lunch hours. Eight dollars will go to Ottawa’s Youth Services Bureau to support programs for homeless youth at the downtown centre. The remaining $2 will go to Raising the Roof Foundation, a national agency which organizes the toque campaign each year, to help find a long-term solution for homelessness. “YSB serves over 3,000 youth per month,” a statement on the bureau’s website said. “Many are street-involved and have nowhere else to turn. The sale of the toques helps the Youth Services Bureau continue to provide safe shelter, hot meals and a listening ear for young people in Ottawa.” The campaign will culminate across the city on Feb. 5 with Toque Tuesday. Osgoode Township High School will sell toques Jan. 17 and 22 as well as Feb. 5. Osgoode Township Grade 11 student representative Stephanie Manoni-Millar sits on the Youth Services Bureau’s Toque Tuesday planning committee. In previous years, the campaign hasn’t had much presence in high schools. With the encouragement of her father, who sits on the bureau’s fundraising committee, Manoni-Millar brought the toque sales to her school. “They’ve been trying to get into it for a while,” she said. “I thought it would be a good thing.” She and her fellow council members, including co-president Alison Reiszadeh who helped sell toques during their first sale day on Jan. 10, are hoping to sell 50 hats. This is the third year the Youth Services Bureau’s charitable foundation has partnered with Raising the Roof.

Brews and blues for local care centre Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Residents of south Ottawa no longer have to go downtown to bust a move and enjoy a brew. On Feb. 1, the Osgoode Township Care Centre will host a beer-tasting fundraiser at Stanley’s Maple Lane Farm, which will pair Ottawa microbrews with local restaurant samplers and a chance to dance the night away. Organizer Wendy Hill said the fundraiser, called Busting out the Brews, is part of a larger campaign to raise $500,000 for home renovations at the non-profit long term care facility on Snake Island Road. Tickets are $25 and include four four-ounce samples from a choice of five local breweries. Clocktower Brew Pub, Big Rig Brewery, Kichesippi Beer Co, Beaus All Natural Brewing and Hogsback Brewery will all have beer on tap between 7 and 8:30 p.m. Patrons can pair their pints with meatballs from Osgoode’s Red Dot Cafe, chicken wings from Swan on the Rideau, a special dish from Carleton Mushroom, a chocolate fondu and more.
A chili contest between several local real estate agents will also take place during the beer tastings, and ticket holders can cast their ballot for the evening’s chili king or queen. After the beer and food tasting ends, Eastern Ontario band The Gang will take over with its mix of blues and classic rock tunes. Stanley’s will operate a cash bar once the beer tasting ends at 8:30 p.m. Throughout the evening, live and silent auctions will offer patrons a chance to take home a variety of donated items, including a diamond tennis bracelet from Howard Jewellers, a round of golf for four at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, an hour flight around Ottawa, and even a tattoo from Ventura Boulevard Tattoo in Barrhaven. Local auctioneer Stewart James will lead the live auction. “This is going to be a very unique fundraiser that will continue each year,” Hill said. “It is a chance for the community to gather and support a very worthy cause.” The facility opened in the 1980s after the community raised money for a much-
needed nursing home in the ward. Today, the care centre has expanded to 100 beds, but many elements in and outside the building have not been updated for 26 years. Big projects include replacing the roof and buying a government-mandated backup generator, which will each cost about $100,000. Much of the home’s furniture needs to be replaced, and special medical beds are needed for each room. Since the campaign began in late October the centre has raised more than $50,000. Hill hopes to pass $100,000 by March. “We are raising funds to ensure our residents live in the most comfortable environment,” Hill said. She encouraged area residents to come for a tour. “The life stories of work and knowledge that are shared are truly remarkable. This is not any home – this is our home.” Tickets are available through Hill at 613- 821-1034 ext 248. Shuttles to and from Stanley’s Farm are available for residents in Osgoode, Greely and Metcalfe and should be pre-arranged with Hill.

Champion OSU Force Academy 1997 Boys Lead OSU’s Disney Magic The Ottawa South United Force tested themselves against some of the best competition in North America over the holiday break, and the result was remarkable all around. The trip to Florida was particularly special for the 1997 boys, who came away with a Disney Soccer Showcase tournament championship in the preacademy division. “We always knew they were a strong group of boys, and I think finally everybody put it together,” says OSU general manager Jim Lianos. “They grew up as a team, and as individuals, at that tournament. They showed what they’re made of.”
T
hat day, my sister Audrey was taken out of school. Because I was much younger and refused to go to school without her, I too was allowed to stay home. Audrey was needed in the kitchen, as it was the day Mr. Briscoe would arrive with his circular saw mounted on a flat-bottom sleigh for a day of cutting wood. The gang of neighbours who would arrive early in the morning, in cutters or sleighs, would have to be fed their dinner. There were sometimes 15 to 20 men with big appetites and Mother needed all the help she could get. It would have taken many weeks for Father to bring the cut trees out of the bush and stack them in the barn yard. The neighbours would start to arrive early and get right to the job at hand. It was one of my most favourite days: I would plant myself in the kitchen window on a chair, making sure I had cleared a spot of frost from the middle pane, so that I could watch the men at work. It took several men to feed the logs into the circular saw, another few to catch the flying wood, and still another few to throw them onto our waiting sleigh or stone boat, whichever was handy. The cut pieces were hauled to the back door of the shed, and tossed in a heap. It would be my brothers’
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories chore, over several Saturdays, to stack the cut wood into neat and high rows in the shed. The wood was then close at hand to the kitchen wood box, which I had to keep filled for the Findlay Oval cook stove, a job I hated with a passion. No one had to be told when it was time to come for the noon meal, and it was Mother’s job to make sure it was ample, piping hot, and a meal the farmers were used to getting at noon hour. That meant plain, home cooked, and plenty of it. The bake table would be full of pies, mostly raisin or apple. Mother would have been up late the night before baking them to free the oven for the dinner the next day. Early in the morning, into the Findlay Oval would go a roast of pork or beef, enough to fill the largest roast pan we owned. Sitting in big aluminum pots would be enough potatoes to feed half of Renfrew County and pots of turnips and carrots would be cooked and ready for mashing just before the men came in for their meal. Of course, white porcelain pots would be simmering
with green tea on the back of the stove. It was my job to set the kitchen table and another small table that usually held baking pans and extra cutlery. The red-checked oilcloth had to be wiped and dried and the big white cups and saucers, the ones we got free in bags of puffed wheat, set beside each plate.While the men filed into the kitchen, my sister Audrey would already be filling bowls with potatoes and vegetables, and big platters of sliced meat would be put at the ends of the tables. By the time the last man had washed up in one of the two basins of hot soapy water on the bench at the back door, the water was black. There wasn’t much thought given to germs back then. Rich brown gravy was poured from milk jugs, and it didn’t take long for the men to wipe their plates clean with slices of home-made bread. The pies were cut in four and without benefit of clean plates, the men slid a whopping piece onto their dinner plates and it wasn’t unusual for second helpings all around.
Most of the day would be spent by the time the last log was fed into the circular saw and it was time for the men to head back to their own farms for the evening chores. Wood sawing day continued up and down the Northcote Side Road until every farm had been tended to. It was the neighbourly thing to do back in those Depression years. Then my three brothers would be home from school, and after getting out of their school clothes and into their work clothes, they headed right for the barn and the chores. Father’s overalls would be covered with sawdust and splinters of wood, but there was no changing for him until he was finished in the barns. It always amazed me how he could sit right down at the supper table and pile his plate high with whatever was left over from the noon meal, just like he hadn’t eaten in days. The next day I would wander over to where the sawing had taken place and wade through the pile of sawdust that had been left behind. Long before recycling and reusing were common phrases, the sawdust was carried over to the ice house and added to the sleighloads brought from the saw mill, covering the blocks brought up from the frozen Bonnechere weeks before. It was an era when nothing was wasted.
Walter Used To Eat Frozen Dinners Alone
In the group stage, the Force played a scoreless match against their U.S. affiliate club, the Dallas Texans, beat a USSF academy team from Kendall, FL 1-0 and then topped an MLS DC United academy side 1-0, with Vana Markarian scoring the lone marker in both contests. OSU wound up facing the Ontario Cup and national champions from Dixie in the final, coming out with a 2-0 victory on goals by Yousef Aldaqqaq. The perfect defensive record throughout the event was partly the product of the team’s two standout centre backs, Sanchit Gupta and Charles Andrascik .“I’ve told the college coaches down there, ‘If you guys are looking for defenders on scholarships, take these two as a package and you’ll never have to worry about your central defense until they graduate,” Lianos highlights, calling the pair the two best central defender duo in Ontario. “They’re that good.” Minus a small handful, the group of players that went 12-2-4 in the Ontario Youth Soccer League last summer have all been together at OSU since age 8 or 9. The team’s coach is Russell Shaw. Also at Disney, the ’96 boys were undefeated in group play with a win and two ties, which moved them into the bronze medal match where they came back from a 3-1 deficit with 15 minutes left to win 4-3.
Now he enjoys Now enjoys aa varied variedmenu menuand andgreat greatcompany. At Chartwell, the chef changes the menu daily, so Walter not only gets to choose from a variety of balanced meals, but he enjoys them with a side dish of laughter and conversation.
The ’96 boys were also competitive in one-goal losses in the U15/16 USSF Academy Division, and the ’98 girls went 1-2. Simply being invited to take part in the #1-Ranked Showcase Tournament in North America puts the participants in elite company. “Even I am surprised about how quickly tangible and consistent success has come,” says OSU president Bill Michalopulos, whose club turns 10 years old this year. “It just goes to show you what an organized program and passionate OSU players and coaches can do.

“The best thing is that OSU is providing opportunities and we are very pleased to see our players and teams taking advantage of them.”

Rack of lamb with Mediterranean tapenade makes for elegant meal EMC lifestyle - Lamb is fresh, lean, tender, mild and easy to cook. It’s an excellent source of protein, iron and B vitamins and because lamb isn’t marbled like beef, health-conscious cooks can easily trim off the fat. This is a fabulous idea for fancy dinner or a quick yet elegant meal. Ask your butcher to remove extra fat and chine the bones (meaning to sever the backbone). Serve with roasted root vegetables. Preparation time: 15 Minutes. Cooking time: 16 to 18 Minutes. Baking time: 30 to 35 Minutes. Servings: Four.
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard • 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh rosemary or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried • One clove garlic, minced • Two racks lamb (six to eight ribs each), trimmed

pan, heat oil over mediumhigh heat; saute garlic, tomatoes and red peppers until softened, for about five minutes. Add olives and capers; cook for three minutes to blend flavours. (Tapenade can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to three days; rewarm to serve.) In large bowl, combine oil, mustard, rosemary and garlic; rub over meaty parts of lamb. Reserve any remaining oil mixture. In large heavy-bottomed skillet, brown each lamb rack on all sides over high heat, about one minute each side. Place in shallow roasting pan; top with any remaining oil mixture. Cover exposed bones with foil to prevent burning.

Luc Guertin adds a little extra clean snow to Waldo, his giant snowman. The smiling snow sculpture stands on Toulouse Crescent.
Waldo grows on Toulouse Crescent Nevil Hunt

EMC news - The cartoon Waldo is hard to find, but on Toulouse Crescent in Orléans, Waldo is impossible to miss. Luc Guertin put together his giant snowman in Decem-
ber thanks to a massive snowstorm. Instead of just plowing away the drifts, Guertin created a snow pile and then set to work making Waldo. “I spent the best part of the day,” Guertin said. “I was up until 2 a.m.” Waldo sports a hat, scarf and smile made from
housing materials Guertin had lying around. His buttons – as big as your head – add a jaunty look. Guertin said his neighbours enjoy his snow skills and people who pass can’t help but smile back at Waldo. “They think it’s great,” he said.

tion around the bar.” As Paul Maclean, head coach of the Ottawa Senators’, walked into the Scotiabank Place Jan. 7 around 1:30 p.m., photographers surrounded him with flashing lights. The Senators are looking at a five-game weekly schedule to make up for lost time, said Ottawa Senators coach Paul Maclean. The season will begin Jan. 19. “Training camp will only be a week long this season and then we have game after game,” said Ottawa Senators coach Paul Maclean during a press conference at Scotiabank Place on Jan. 7. “We want to thank the fans for their patience. We play for the fans.”

EMC News - Restaurants and hotels are gearing up for the start of the Ottawa Senators’ season, after the National Hockey League announced it had reached an agreement with the players union, ending a three-month lockout. Many people have been severely affected by the lockout that is finally ending. Scotiabank Place had laid off people back in September. As of Jan. 7, every person that had been laid off has officially gone back to work. The Kanata Brookstreet Hotel is just one of many hotels preparing themselves for the start of a new NHL season. “We are extremely excited for things to go back to nor-
mal this winter. Things around here will get more lively,” said Mark Nisbett, director of sales and marketing at the Brookstreet Hotel. “We always have people coming into the hotel but it’s just not the same without the hockey season.” There were no layoffs on a permanent basis, with most having their hours cut. But now that the season is back everyone is heading back to work as usual. “As part of our support for the NHL, we have partnered up with the Ottawa Senators to provide a special promotion just for hockey fans,” Nisbett said. “When you come to the hotel, present us your hockey ticket and you will receive 15 per cent off our best rate.”

project as a chance to create an art destination in the capital. “We couldn’t be more excited about the buzz it’s creating within the Ottawa artist community,” she said. “Finally there is a place for artists to sell and display their artwork.” Zaborowski said that although the capital has many galleries and a number of art festivals throughout the year,
it does not have a regular public space for artists. This project could change that. “The idea behind the project is to have a permanent place for artists to call their own and to have the freedom to express artistically for all to appreciate and to create a spectacular original outdoor gallery that will represent Ottawa’s most original and finest artists,” she said. Zaborowski said she is most
with a chance to win a $500 shopping spree. The outdoor mall is also taking part in the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of craft brewing in the National Capital Region with Winter Brewed on Feb. 16 and 17. Artists who submit an application before Jan. 31 will be eligible to display and sell their original artwork in specific indoor locations throughout the Sparks Street business district prior to May’s outdoor opening. All other submissions for the ongoing Artist Alley project are due March 15.

EMC news - A new opportunity to spread art in the city’s core has the Ottawa arts community buzzing. The Sparks Street Artist Alley will offer a space for local artists to display and sell their works in the shadow of Parliament Hill. Artists Preston and Agata Zaborowski are responsible
for collecting submissions from interested artists, who will be chosen to participate in the project by a jury. “We are looking for unique artists that will represent Ottawa’s diverse talent,” said Agata Zaborowski. “We are open to all mediums and all levels, including students. Originality would be the main focus when making a decision in selecting artists.” The two artists see this new
excited about the location. “Historic Sparks Street is the perfect place for artists to sell and display their work. The restaurants, cafes, shops and ambiance of Sparks Street speaks for itself,” she said. “There is no vehicle traffic, only a steady stream of people strolling the street.” Zaborowski said this project is part of the larger Sparks Street revitalization project, launched by the Sparks Street Mall Business Improvement Area. As part of Winterlude, treasure hunts will be held on the street on Feb. 2 and Feb. 18,

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Aries, your domestic side will come out this week when you decide to play host or hostess to friends or family. You may reveal some surprising skills in the kitchen. It will take fast action for you to get something accomplished this week, Taurus. If you blink, the opportunity may pass you by, so get moving. You may need to reconsider your purchasing power, Gemini. Your finances may not be what they seem at this moment, and you could need to play things conservatively.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Libra, if you find you have been falling behind on things or simply cannot seem to get organized, then it’s time to reconsider your approach. Scorpio, when party planning is put into your hands, you are right in your element as a natural leader. You are bound to have all of the details perfect. Someone could require a pep talk this week, and you are the person for the job, Sagittarius. Figure out ways to downplay any struggles and point out all that this person has accomplished.
Cancer, there are a few obstacles you will have to overcome before you can move on to something more enjoyable this week. Make the hard work a priority and the rest will follow.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Maintain the status quo this week, Leo. You may be tempted to do things differently, but going with the flow and not rocking the boat is the best approach this week. Flexibility will be the key this week, Virgo. If you are able to bend, then you will be much more successful than if you are rigid in your opinions and actions.
You may find a turnaround in your financial situation has finally arrived, Capricorn. Just don’t spend all of that newfound money in one place. Put some into an account for later. Aquarius, you may need someone to light a fire under you this week. Welcome this effort because once you get going you will be able to accomplish anything. Pisces, it may be a challenge to balance work and home life responsibilities this week. Aim for a 60/40 split of requirements.
