St. Mark shuts out Glebe in hockey final Lions win third city title in five years Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The roar of cheering fans was second only to shouts of victory on the ice as St. Mark closed its second straight shutout to win the city’s non-contact hockey finals on Nov. 27.

Left-winger Kyle Ainslie and defenceman Shayne Staffen each scored a goal for St. Mark to win

2-0 in front of a small but mighty crowd of supporters at the Manotick arena.

Ainslie scored on a deflection just over a minute into the first period, putting his team into overdrive for the rest of the match.

“That kind of set the tone for the game right away,” said head coach Dave Zivkovic, who has coached the team for nine years.

Staffen scored in the second period.

Zivkovic said he was relieved to have the championship in hand – the third in five years – since the team came close to faltering at the end of the regular season.

“We had a bit of a rough spot,” he said, explaining that four of their top players – including captain Riley Dunbar – were out with injuries.

“We went from first place to fourth,” Zivkovic said.

But in the semi-final game against top-ranked Franco Cite on Nov. 20, St. Mark players pulled off a miraculous 1-0 overtime win to secure their spot in the championship.

“Once we survived that game the kids really knew they had a good chance of winning it all,” Zivkovic said.

Shoreline erosion meeting goes to the dogs What was meant to be a public information meeting about shoring up some eroded sections of the Rideau River became a debate

in Manotick on Nov. 26 to discuss a joint plan between the conservation authority and the city to restore the shoreline.

According to city planner Kevin Jones, several areas along the shoreline inside the park have been

about David Bartlett Park’s status as an off-leash dog area.

A handful of residents who live around the naturalized park at the north end of Long Island Road gathered at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority headquarters

eroding because of high use from pedestrians, dogs and others accessing the main channel.

To control the erosion while maintaining river access, the RVCA and the city will spend about $30,000 next fall to formalize two access points inside the park: one at the north end and another in the south near Bravar Drive, Jones said.

The plan is to install latticework composite material filled with gravel to hold a gentle slope in place. Simple cedar-rail fencing on either side of the access points will funnel park users to the access and allow natural vegetation to grow back in other areas, Jones said.

“In reality, if we were going to re-naturalize that whole shoreline, it wouldn’t work,” he said, explaining that people will access the river whether they’re allowed to or not.

“We’re basically providing a carrot” that will encourage pedestrians to stay on the designated path, he said.

But some residents who live along Bravar are not pleased with the plan, which they say will bring more park users to their part of the residential street.

It is already choked with cars parked on either side of the road on a daily basis, they said, which poses a safety issue for pedestrians crossing near a blind curve.

There’s a community mailbox at the entrance to the park directly beside the curve, and all of those cars reduce visibility, said resident Steve Fox. Not to mention, it wreaks havoc on his lawn when drivers park on his grass.

Another Bravar resident, Mike Jadayel, would like to see all dogs

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

A plan to formalize an access point near Bravar Drive has left several residents concerned about parking. required to be on leash – or at least for the city to provide a fenced area within the park for dogs to run around, leaving other park users in peace.

“As soon as you put them on leash, half of these people will go somewhere else and that will solve most of our problems,” Jadayel said.

But Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said support is overwhelmingly in favour of the dog owners who want to continue bringing their pets to the park for some free play.

“I’ve really only heard from two people with regularity (who don’t support the dog park),” Moffatt said. “I’m not saying it’s not an issue, but it hasn’t come up with any regularity to me.”

He said he would consider expanding the parking lot at the west end of the park to accommodate more drivers, and possibly moving the entrance to a different location.

“There might not be a perfect solution, but the best solution might be to do the parking lot widening,” said Moffatt.

In the meantime, comments about the shoreline naturalization plans can be sent to kevin.jones@ ottawa.ca.

Residents concerned Mahogany will become ‘moveable feast’ emma.jackson@metroland.com

Skeptical residents questioned the motives behind Minto’s proposal to change lot sizes and add 14 new units to a section of its Mahogany development south of Manotick during a public meeting on Nov. 25.

The developer is in the process of building Phase 1 of a five-phase 1,400unit subdivision between Manotick Main Street and Century Road, but sales have been much slower than expected.

The company is only selling about 1.4 homes per month on average, instead of the projected six they’d hoped for.

That has prompted Minto to bring some of its smaller, more affordable designs planned for later phases into Phase 1B to respond to market demand, according to Susan Murphy, Minto’s vice president of development, who led the meeting.

Right now, Phase 1B – a 197-unit unregistered section at the southeast corner of the project – calls for 52 lots with 35-foot frontages and 145 lots with 60-foot frontages.

The proposed amendment would alter a number of those to 38-foot and 47-foot lots, creating space for 14 more units.

The new plan, if approved, would ultimately offer 49 small lots of 35 and 38 feet and 162 large lots of 47 and 60 feet – a total of 211 units.

The proposal doesn’t change the overall density of the development, which the Ontario Municipal Board set at 1,400 units with at least 75 per cent of lots being 45 feet or larger when it approved the project in 2009.

But some residents were skeptical that these changes aren’t just the be-

dismissed by both Murphy and Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt; studies were generally carried out for the development as a whole, and since the number of overall units isn’t changing Murphy said those community services won’t be affected.

But Mahogany’s land development manager Erin O’Connor did say Minto is considering moving up the development of a planned English

of next year. If approved, it would then go to council for final approval.

While the city’s decision on whether to approve Minto’s plan of subdivision amendment is not yet made, Minto is already marketing the units through brochures and presentations.

Comments on the proposed changes can be sent to city planner jeffrey.ostafichuk@ottawa.ca or scott. moffatt@ottawa.ca by mid-December.

public school, given overcrowding at Manotick Public School and increasing pressure from the public school board. The school is currently planned for Phase 2.

The subdivision amendment decision can be made by city staff without the approval of council. Once it is approved, a zoning amendment would go to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs committee, likely in February or March

ginning of a stream of amendments designed to allow Minto to ask for more units and, ultimately, higher density at the OMB. “Here we are with Phase 1, and already it’s changing lot sizes and adding 14 units,” said resident Michael Clancy, whose property on Manotick Main Street is completely surrounded by the Mahogany project. “It seems to be a moveable feast. You have to appreciate our skepticism moving forward.”

Murphy stressed that Minto is not trying to dupe the community into building with higher density; the units added into Phase 1 will be made up for in subsequent phases in order to stay under the required 1,400 limit, she said.

As for the smaller lot sizes, they will come with larger side yard setbacks in an effort to maintain a more rural feel, she said.

Questions about the impact the extra 14 units would have on services, transit and infrastructure were largely

Silly-hat tribute a fitting goodbye for Osgoode councillor Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

For many years, Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson was known as a sort of fashion plate around the city council horseshoe.

The long-time councillor and former township mayor would don silly hats during city council meetings, but that changed over the last fouryear term of council, when Thompson gave up the headgear spectacle.

But during the very last city council meeting of the term – and Thompson’s 31-year political career – he was sure to get up to his old ways.

Before his final goodbye speech on Nov. 26, Thompson rounded the council table to drop off a box of tissues for Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, saying “You’ll need this.”

He also brought small bouquets of flowers for all the female councillors (and nothing for his male colleagues, to their chagrin) and a large bouquet to thank deputy city clerk

Leslie Donnelly for all her help over the years with council procedure and rules.

For his very last hat trick, Thompson had two things up his sleeve.

First, he brought a selection of his silliest headwear and instructed audience members to don it when he gave a signal.

Next, Thompson brought out his most cherished hat – a chrome fireman’s helmet.

“After 9/11 there was a fundraiser at the (National Arts Centre) for the firefighters in New York,” Thompson said. On his way out the door, Thompson grabbed the hat and later decided to include it in a silent auction during the event.

“The next day, Wayne Easton stayed and he called me up and said, ‘Doug, you won’t believe it. The lady from Rockcliffe Park paid $3,500 for the hat,’” Thompson said.

“As time went on, the lady would take the hat and go around to her friends in the area and for $500 a pop they would get their photos taken with the hat.

Over the course of time, she raised over $16,000 just with this hat.

“This is a hat that means a great deal to me and I think it means a great deal to the fire service as well and that’s one of the reasons I wear funny hats,” he said.

However, he never actually wore the fireman’s hat during the Nov. 26 speech – after briefing popping it onto his noggin, Thompson declared it didn’t fit.

Thompson said he has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and thanks as he wraps up his political career.

The decision not to return was the most difficult one he’s ever had to make, but Thompson said he is looking forward to his newfound free time.

“Now I’ll have the opportunity to experience new initiatives, interesting challenges and the opportunity to spend more time with my family – if they want me to,” he joked.

The new Osgoode Ward councillor, George Darouze, was set to take over on Dec. 1.

Kars group seeks memorabilia, volunteers for school archive If walls could talk, they wouldn’t be much help – at least not for Kars on the Rideau Public School.

That’s because much of the school’s long history took place within walls that no longer exist.

But a group of keen parents, staff and historians at the school are hoping to unearth some of that heritage from local basements, garages and attics instead, as they attempt to piece together a complete archive of nearly 200 years of local school history.

“I’m wondering, do people have scrapbooks in their basement that they want to give new life?” said Jason Churchill, a Kars parent with a doctorate in Canadian history, who is leading the project.

He took on the challenge in September 2013 as part of school principal Rick Haggar’s efforts to build a cohesive school culture since Kars Public School and Rideau Valley Middle School joined under a new name and roof in 2012.

“We wanted to embrace the opportunity in front of us, but not forget the past,” Haggar said. “This is to blend the richness of both schools, because they are sister schools and always have been.”

The small volunteer committee, which also includes parent Steve Clarke and staff member Sonia Williams, has spent the past year gathering artifacts, records and interviews from alumni to lay the groundwork for an extensive archive that Haggar plans to install in the school’s library.

“Everything that’s been done up to this point has been background,” Churchill said. “Now we’re at the stage where, if we’re really going to move forward with this we’re going to need to involve the broader community.”

The collection would include a timeline of the school’s history, beginning in 1823, which, as far as Churchill can tell, is the earliest date the community had a local school building.

A stream of digitized photos will also be on display, and Churchill wants to develop an interactive website where past students can share their memories of attending school in Kars.

Those stories are extremely important, Churchill said, especially since some of the artifacts the committee has unearthed have raised more questions than answers.

For instance, why did a certain Grade 6 class include a calf in its class photo in 1990?

And why does the school possess two centuryold trophies that seemingly belong to another school district?

That’s where alumni come in.

“There are significant holes in the story right now,” Churchill said.

The archive will likely be named for Coral Lindsay, a prominent historian and archivist who died in October. She was pivotal in archiving the community’s history as a whole, and taught at the Kars school. She was also instrumental in choosing the new school’s name,

which shares its title with her book on local history, Kars on the Rideau.

CALL FOR HELP

Churchill and his archive committee will host a public meeting at the school on Dec. 9 for anyone who wants to share stories, memorabilia or, perhaps most importantly, their time to help the project move forward.

“We need a broad skill set,” Churchill said.

The list of jobs runs the gamut from fixing hundred-year-old trophies to digitizing thousands of slides and photos to combing through the Rideau Township archives for information.

“We need their talents or their time, but not much of either.”

The meeting is between 6 and 7 p.m., and Haggar said he’ll offer a barbecue dinner for all participants. Churchill said he has no doubt community members will come to the committee’s aid; after all, they’ve never let the school down in the past.

From fires in 1875 and 1945 that each sent children into homes and community halls to continue their classes, to the day in 1980 the entire community came out for a “work bee” to build a new school playground, Churchill said it’s clear from the records that the Kars community has always been there.

“One of the big stories that comes across is the close connection that has always been between the Kars area and the school,” he said.

Once acquired, those stories and memories can be shared with the community in perpetuity, Haggar added.

And as the school moves forward new stories will be included.

“The nice thing about an archive is it never ends,” he said.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get into specifics

A

s the season of giving approaches, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating to see how some charitable groups are working to connect Canadians to people in need.

Instead of donating some cash to the general revenues of a charity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where it will no doubt be put to good use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unicef will tell you what your donation can do in human terms. For example, your $50 can provide 20 litres of therapeutic milk to children in need. Oxfam gets even more specific. Give $15 and Oxfam will give a family in a developing country a chicken, which in turn provides them with eggs. You can give a sheep or goat too, which can supply wool or milk.

Recently, the Lions Club in Kanata picked out a piece of equipment for the Ottawa Hospital Eye Institute that is expected to improve accuracy when doctors attempt to diagnose eye problems.

What better way to get people behind a project than to set a goal of buying a specific item that will provide a specific, positive outcome?

This straightforward way of contributing to a

cause allows donors to see their efforts being put to use. They know they are directly connected with the end result: one chicken, one family fed.

Donors to food banks can feel the same connection because they know the can of corn or bag of oats they give will be cooked up and served at the table of a family in need of a little help.

Money can obviously be put to use by the same food bank, but the connection is not the same.

We see this desire to make a difference when an individual in our own community battles a serious disease. Suddenly a disease weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only heard of has a face and we realize this person is just like us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only human to want to help them.

Large charitable organizations must do even more to humanize their efforts. Large scale groups such as the United Way do good work, but they also create a layer of dispersal of funds that separates the giver from the person being assisted, and there is always the perception of some funds being used to keep the bureaucracy running. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis the season to give.

When the scammers come calling

S

eniors are supposed to be gullible and targets for scammers of all kinds.

You read that all the time, about door-to-door fraudsters, phoney charities and, especially, computers. Seniors are supposed to be babes in the woods when it comes to computers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so sure about that. The seniors I know are a pretty knowledgeable bunch.

After all, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 70 now, that means you were 40 or so when computers came to be widely used in workplaces and in your 50s when the Internet entered our lives.

But maybe scammers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that. The other day the phone rang and it was a guy from an authoritative-sounding outfit warning us that our computer had been taken over

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town by criminals and he would help us fix matters, if we would let him take control of the computer. After a slight delay, caused by an inability to understand what he was talking about, we replied, as follows: CLICK. Amazingly, he called back, quite annoyed that he had been hung up upon and resumed his pitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who are you, again?â&#x20AC;? we asked. He repeated the name of the authoritativesounding outfit. CLICK, we replied.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call back.

Those sorts of calls can happen to anyone and there is a faint credibility to them because many people have, in fact, had difficulties with their computers being hacked in various small and large ways.

After all, the Ottawa Police Services, no nest of gullible seniors, was hit just last week.

So you might wonder, after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the correct thing and hung up, if you made a mistake. The helpful thing then is to use your computersavviness and punch the name of the authoritative-sounding outfit into Google, followed by a word such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;scam.â&#x20AC;? Bingo! Up pop dozens of articles about exactly the phenomenon youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just experienced. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been happening in Canada, all over the U.S. and Britain.

been laid. It turns out that hanging up was exactly the right thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as it almost always is. There are many nasty things about the Internet. One of the nicer things is it enables us to get information confirming we are not alone.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lot of savvy to double-check before accepting any kind of offer and most people do, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now so easy. But obviously some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, which helps to make these scams profitable. And there will be new ones coming along, new reasons to double-check, new reasons to hang up.

Are seniors extremely vulnerable to such scams? I doubt it, but it is probably true that older people are more trusting than younger ones. The people who are seniors now were not brought up to fear that everyone was trying to cheat them. They were brought up to take what people said at face value.

The downside of that is that they may be more likely to be scammed.

The upside of that is that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend every waking minute in fear that someone is trying to take advantage of them. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what vulnerability means, it beats the alternative.

Manotick team will need to rebuild Continued from page 1

As the clock ran down on Nov. 27, supporters counted down the seconds to the buzzer, erupting into cheers as the St. Mark team jumped into a celebratory pile in front of the net.

Zivkovic said he and his fellow coaches – Mike Paron

and Shawn MacEachern – savoured the moment, knowing it could be a while before they build up another championship team. Most of the players are in Grade 12, and Zivkovic expects only a handful of veterans to return next year. “The cupboard’s going to be bare,” he said.

But that was a thought

FREE

for another day. On Nov. 27, the team was focused on celebrating their comeback victory properly – something the crowd ensured when they gave the players a hero’s welcome as they emerged from the dressing room.

“It’s something for them to remember for the rest of their lives,” Zivkovic said.

GINGERBREAD FUN

The Osgoode Youth Association is inviting everyone to sweeten up their holiday season at its annual gingerbread decorating event.

Between 2 and 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, friends and families can pair off or team up to create their cookie masterpieces while competing for titles including Most Creative Use of Candy and Most Festive.

Up to two decorators can make one house for $25, and up to five decorators can complete two houses for $45.

O-YA will supply the pre-assembled gingerbread houses as well as a selection of candy, icing and, of course, tons of holiday cheer. Guests can also bring their own decorating materials.

Participants should register by email to nicole@o-ya.ca by Dec. 10.

businesses. Last year the school raised more than $12,000 at the event, which went a long way in helping to ensure that they can offer a warm, safe and fun learning environment for preschool aged children in the area, according to the school’s communications co-ordinator Maggie Matte.

“We hope to top that total this year and bring in $15,000,” she said.

Throughout the event, kids can have their photo taken with St. Nick while family members check out the auction for the perfect Christmas gift – or something for themselves.

Families can catch another glimpse of Santa at the Osgoode parade, which starts at 11:30 a.m. Floats will travel down Osgoode Main Street from Nixon Drive to the community centre.

“Also we will be collecting food and donations for the local food bank,” said organizer Laurie Ann Holmes.

“Last year we were very grateful for all the donations received for our local food bank in Enniskerry.”

The association is still registering floats, and anyone interested in volunteering or participating in the parade should contact Holmes at klholmes@storm.ca.

SUPERHERO PARTY

Santa’s not the only one paying a visit to Manotick this Christmas.

On Dec. 20, a number of

superheroes will join Father Christmas at the Rexall drug store in Manotick for a day of free photos, activities and a chance to meet some of the world’s most sought-after heroes.

Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. families can come to rub shoulders with the likes of Batman, Spiderman and Superman as well as the CHEO bear and, of course, Santa himself.

Store manager Greg Brown said the 4x6 photos are being offered free of charge, but donations are welcome for the Rexall Foundation, which supports the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Photos can be upgraded to 5x7 or 8x10 prints.

You may feel sad, helpless or anxious, or you might have trouble sleeping, eating or concentrating. Pay attention to how your body is feeling and recognize that physical and emotional reactions are normal.

Things you can try

to prevent and cope with stress:

• Focus on what needs to happen, try to take life day-by-day.

New program connects community with art Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Local artists have teamed up with non-profit organizations in the city to add a little art to the lives of clients.

Created by the Orléans arts organization, AOE Arts Council, the latest programming, dubbed Art Place, was launched at Elisabeth Bruyère Residence downtown on Nov. 25.

In total, the new program will operate six art projects at six organizations in the city which executive director Victoria Steele said will help fill the gap in artistic programming at these sites.

“This program offers, in my view, truly meaningful benefits,” Steele said. “The arts really will be a community building tool and I can’t wait to see the results.”

So far, the Immigrant Wom-

en Services Ottawa, Zonta Club Ottawa, Hospice Care Ottawa and Saint-Louis Residence join the Elisabeth Bruyère Residence as five organizations who have partnered with the council to host the artists. The sixth location is yet to be determined.

Each artist or art group will be paired with one of the locations for a period of five to eight weeks. The artists will work with the organization and

its clients to create an artistic project.

This year, the projects will range from theatre to sculptures to storytelling and book arts.

“Working with the clients at the Immigrant Women Services Ottawa has been a delight,” said artist Naomi Tessler. “I am fascinated by the journey we will be travelling together.

I think it will create positive change in their lives.”

Tessler, a Forum Theatre artist, will lead workshops at

the immigrants centre. Her project will offer participants the opportunity to hone their theatre skills and gain confidence to speak up and act out on social issues. The objective is to offer participants the tools to encourage self-confidence, environmental awareness and well-being.

The arts council received $149,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to fund Art Place.

The money will be handed out over a three year period to

fund the artists.

According to programming co-ordinator Cassandra Olsthoorn, the goal is to expand this program beyond the three-year funding window, and to do that the council will be looking to create more community support as well as encourage donations on its website, artsoe. ca.

“We have lots of artists, it is just a matter of finding them some space,” she said.

Olsthoorn said each artist requested the type of organization to work with.

For Sarah Conn of STO Union Theatre Company, she asked to be partnered with Hospice Care Ottawa.

“I had a friend who volunteered for the May Court and her experience inspired me,” she said.

Conn and the theatre company will be working with the palliative care patients on an interactive theatre program --building a life-sized board game. The hope is that each client will contribute to the project.

“We wanted to find a way to have multiple stories and multiple ideas of what affects someone in life,” Conn said.

This way, she added, clients can share their life stories, or life lessons in building the game. Eventually, the board game theatre presentation will be made public. All projects will be showcased in a closing celebration on Feb. 25, 2015.

Police warn shoppers to lock it or lose it Manotick News staff

This holiday season Ottawa police are reminding shoppers to lock up their vehicles.

The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police launched its “lock it or lose it” campaign at three shopping centres in the city on Nov. 27.

The campaign encourages drivers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and the contents in a vehicle from theft.

Tips and hints to help secure holiday shopping items in your car include: *Remove valuables and shopping bags from view - this includes loose change and electronic devices such as IPods, cell phones and GPS navigation systems.

• Never leave your vehicle running and unattended.

• Close windows and lock the doors.

• Never leave your car or house keys in your vehicle.

Thieves notice unattended vehicles that have new purchases for them to take.

• Park in well lit areas with pedestrian traffic.

• When returning to your vehicle carrying bags, place them in trunk, and then drive away to a different parking spot if shopping is not completed.

Thieves notice unattended vehicles that have new purchases for them to take.

  

Aside from following some of these tips, police also encourage shoppers to participate in its anti-theft program, “All Valuables Removed.”

The key component to the program is a bright yellow theft prevention card which has both a checklist for drivers as well as in large print the words “all valuables removed” and the Ottawa Police Services emblem.

According to police, when the cards are placed in the window of the vehicle it helps deter thieves -- letting wouldbe-thieves know not to bother searching your vehicle.

The “All Valuables Removed” warning cards are available at Community Police Centres and police stations’ information desks and by request at pia@ ottawapolice.ca.

Thompson tearful at final council meeting

OSGOODE COUN. DOUG THOMPSON

“This is a hat that means a great deal to me and I think it means a great deal to the fire service as well and that’s one of the reasons I wear funny hats,” he said.

However, he never actually wore the fireman’s hat

Now I’ll have the opportunity to ... spend more time with my family.

during the Nov. 26 speech – after briefing popping it onto his noggin, Thompson declared it didn’t fit.

Thompson said he has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and thanks as he wraps up his political career.

The decision not to return was the most difficult one he’s ever had to make, but Thompson said he is looking forward to his newfound free time.

“Now I’ll have the opportunity to experience new initiatives, interesting challenges and the opportunity to spend more time with my family – if they want me to,” he joked.

The new Osgoode Ward councillor, George Darouze, was set to take over Thompson’s seat on Dec. 1.

TE

Next, Thompson brought out his most cherished hat – a chrome fireman’s helmet.

“After 9/11 there was a fundraiser at the (National Arts Centre) for the firefighters in New York,” Thompson said.

On his way out the door, Thompson grabbed the hat and later decided to include it in a silent auction during the event.

“The next day, Wayne Easton stayed and he called me up and said, ‘Doug, you won’t believe it. The lady from Rockcliffe Park paid $3,500 for the hat,’” Thompson said.

“As time went on, the lady would take the hat and go around to her friends in the area and for $500 a pop they would get their photos

taken with the hat.

Over the course of time, she raised over $16,000 just with this hat.

Family’s good fortune made for disappointing day

G

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories noon. We would be leaving the farm early, after a hasty breakfast.

Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top. Each fowl had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly.

We knew the butter and mother’s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh. Parking the sleigh was another reason for going in at the crack of dawn. Where you parked was of prime importance. You hoped to be right in the centre of the main street.

That’s where the townspeople would be walking to look over what you had to offer, but more important, the big buyers, the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street. Of course, with the big sleigh covered with all the stuff Mother and Father hoped to sell, there was no room for us five kids, so we went in the double cutter, following behind, so full of excitement we could hardly contain ourselves.

Since it was so early in the morning, Father had no trouble finding a good spot right in front of Scott’s hardware, one of the busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He

parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses, and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street.

It wasn’t long until all the butter and the sticky-buns were gone. I could see Mother’s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going

to be good day -- I could feel it in my bones. And the excitement of visiting the Five and Dime store was mounting by the minute.

And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear. They had red em-

broidery on their pockets, letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers. They were all business, let me tell you. The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop.

oing into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Mother delivered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough.

Going into Renfrew for an entire day was pure rapture.

Imagine: a whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote.

This only happened once a year, however. That was the day, usually in early December, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around. The excitement out on the farm would be at fever-pitch for days. The night before, I was sure Mother and Father never even bothered going to bed. Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasn’t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under.

Fresh butter wrapped in wax paper, and Mother’s famous sticky buns sitting on pieces of square cardboard would be added to the fowl, in the hopes of earning a few extra dollars. Before we children went to bed, we saw Father hitch up the team and bring the big flat-bottomed sleigh to the kitchen door, to cut down on the time needed to get an early start into Renfrew the next morning.

My sister Audrey had made sandwiches and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cookies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the after-

Turkey Fair Day a bittersweet success

R0013028597-1204

They took off their big fur mitts and poked the turkeys, lifted a goose high the air and looked it over, and pinched the chickens.

They moved away from the

sleigh and whispered, nodded, whispered some more, and then moved back to our sleigh.

They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldn’t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his

pocket as big as pickle crock, and start counting out the money into Mother’s outstretched hand.

Another one of the men walked quickly away, and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh, and they began loading everything into the back, which looked to me like it could hold two full grown heifers.

And then our sleigh was empty.

The look of sheer joy on Mother’s face was something to behold.

Father who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept saying, “Well, by golly. Well, by golly,” as he lit and relit his pipe.

Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated before my eyes.

There would be no trip to the Chinese restaurant where we brazenly ate our bagged lunch-

Pet Adoptions

BIG BEN, ID# A174872

Meet Big Ben (A174872), a gorgeous, two-year-old, gold, Flemish Giant bunny seeking a forever family to call his own.

Big Ben is the perfect name for this very large rabbit! His impressive size means he is far too big to be kept in a standard rabbit cage.

Big Ben would do best with an experienced rabbit owner who will allow him to have free run of the home. He’s a little shy at first but will become best of friends with you if you give him some time to get comfortable.

For more information on Big Ben 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.

The Holidays Can Be a Perfect Time to Welcome a New Pet

R0013029733-1204

Hi! I’m Prairie.

My name was inspired by the times my parents lived in Saskatchewan and in Kansas.

I love catnip, lounging in my wicker basket, and purring for the Ottawa Senators, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the Kansas City Royals.

es, and didn’t spend a cent.

No stop at the bathrooms at the CPR station, and certainly no visit to the Five and Dime Store to look over the array of toys.

Although Mother and Father couldn’t believe their good fortune, with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop.

Turkey Fair Day was over for another year.

Mother could see our disappointment, and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoe’s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we want.

Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy.

I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasn’t a total loss after all.

Imagine a holiday season where you not only fulfill your children’s holiday wishes but make a homeless animal’s dreams come true too.

That’s the idea behind the Ottawa Humane Society’s holiday delivery program, a festive way to surprise a loved one with a furry friend during Hanukkah or on Yuletide morning.

From kittens and rabbits to dogs and hamsters, the OHS is seeking families interested in having volunteer elves drop by with their new fourlegged family member on Dec. 25 or

any night of Hanukkah.

Regular adoption procedures still apply, which means parents would come in to the shelter in advance to fill out an application form, be matched with the right pet, and speak with an adoption counsellor.

This delivery program is busting the myth that pets should not be adopted during the holidays, the fear being that animals are given as holiday gifts with no thought to the commitment needed to be a responsible pet owner.

In fact, if you’ve been thinking about

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

adding a pet to your family, this may be the right time to do it, said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director.

“Less travelling, smaller families, and time off during the holiday can make this the perfect time of year to bond with a new pet for many people,” Roney said.

There are limited holiday delivery spaces available so contact the OHS to sign up by phone at 613-725-3166 ext. 258, or visit the shelter at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.
