Manotick’s Secondary Plan ready for council Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee approved a secondary plan for Manotick on Dec. 10. The plan – three years in the making – sets out zoning plans for properties along the village’s downtown core, deals
with speeding issues on Manotick Main Street and seeks to make the village more pedestrian and cycling friendly. The planning document, the first update since 1997, also seeks to protect public access to the waterfront – and better publicize existing access. See Secondary, page 3

Manotick News - Thursday, December 17, 2015
While the plan would still need to be approved by council in the New Year, the planning stage is now done. Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village Community Association said now that the plan is in place, he is going to make sure he leverages it as much as possible. Beltzner said with the upcoming repaving of Bridge Street, he planned to talk to staff and the councillors about a dedicated cycling lane and wider sidewalks. “I am happy about the focus on walkability and connectivity in the plan,” he said. Part of the plan will be a vibrant downtown core, he said. “We have a lively core, but we don’t want the streets to roll up at night,” he said, add-
“That was way to easy!”

changes, either a petition or the 85th percentile test. The community association had some concerns about Barrhaven growing so that it would begin to touch the boundaries of Manotick, but Moffat assured them the agricultural land around Bankfield and Barnsdale roads was safe. Osgoode Coun. George Darouze agreed with the plan – which falls short of what the community association wanted – to maintain the reduction all the way to Bankfield where it meets with Prince of Wales. “The city has processes, but no one knows a road better than the residents and the councillor,” Darouze said. “The city is doing a review of agricultural lands, with an eye to maintain the class one and two agricultural lands,”
ing residential zoning around Manotick Main Street was important to keep the area active. Beltzner said property opposite the Giant Tiger on Maple Avenue would be zoned for three-storey apartment buildings. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffat said intensification is needed to ensure the boundaries of the village don’t grow. “We can’t grow out, so we need to grow up,” Moffat also moved for a portion of Manotick Main Street speed to be reduced to 40 kilometres per hour. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El Chantiry questioned the process for the speed reduction, but Moffat said the area didn’t qualify for the traditional road speed

he said, adding Bankfield and Barnsadale land is mostly class two. Noel Norenius, the president of the Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association, said that he was pleased to see the city maintain the historic mill district – home to Watson’s Mill. He expressed some concerns about development on Percival Crescent, but Moffat assured the crowd at Manotick Arena that the city would work with developers to ensure the public still has access to the waterfront. Norenius said he was also pleased to see in the Mud Creek watershed study that staff recognized the need for more hydro geological study. Aside from the change in zoning and speed reductions, Long Island Road and Bridge Street will be community safety zones to protect students going to St. Leonard Catholic School and Manotick Public School. “We need to move forward now that we have the plan in front of us,” Beltzner said.

Hollerado returning to Manotick for benefit concert Local band comes home for arena expansion fundraiser Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
Hollerado fans in the indie rock band’s native Manotick will receive an early Christmas present when the group returns home to play a benefit concert on Dec. 19. Several local artists will open for Hollerado at the all-ages concert – to be held in St. Leonard School’s gymnasium – and proceeds from ticket sales will go toward the Manotick arena expansion project. The show will be Holle-
rado’s first in Manotick in four years. “Coming back to Ottawa is the best. But getting to play in Manotick is particularly awesome,” guitarist Nixon Boyd said in an email. “It brings back great memories and it’s such a great community. Plus my first show I ever played was at Dickinson Day in something like 2000 or 2001. It’s hard to beat your first show but coming to play a benefit for the arena is pretty close.” Though the Juno nominated and multiple awardwinning group has been largely based out of Toronto and Montreal, three of Hollerado’s four members grew up on Hilltop Drive in Manotick, and they’re all keen to contribute. In fact, lead singer Menno Versteeg’s father Hajo, is the
principal organizer of the concert. “I grew up a total rink rat,” Versteeg said in an email, adding that as a kid growing up in small-town Ontario, his life revolved around the rink. “Not only was the arena the setting for my youth, it is also the heartbeat of our community. I am really proud to be able to help create a great place that will be the backdrop of many formative years for generations to come.” The group formed in 2007 with Versteeg on vocals and guitar, Nixon Boyd on guitar, Jake Boyd on drums, and Nepean resident Dean Baxter on bass. Since forming, Hollerado has released two albums and toured extensively in North and South America, Europe and China, play-

Local rock indie band Hollerado will return to Manotick for the first time in more than four years on Dec. 19 for a benefit concert to raise funds for the Manotick arena and community centre expansion project. ing with bands such as The Flaming Lips, Weezer, Billy Talent and Jack White’s The Dead Weather. The group is currently adding finishing touches to its third album, with plans to tour Europe and the United States in the spring, and Canada next
summer and fall. The indie rock band has cultivated a reputation for adding authentic, personal touches to its work, from recording custom songs for fans as part of its 111 Songs project, to hand painting 12,000 of its White Paint albums. Although they haven’t had many opportunities to play benefit concerts, spending a little extra time to do something special is right up Hollerado’s alley. “We don’t get asked to do a lot of charity events but have played a few,” Nixon Boyd said in an email. “They’re different from other shows because they bring out the community spirit in everyone. Everybody volunteers their time for the sake of their neighbours, which is pretty rewarding to be a part of.” Manotick residents and volunteers have worked since 2014 to raise $250,000 for the $1.7 million arena expansion project. With help
from the city and the federal government, the project will see storage space added to the building’s second floor meeting rooms, and double the size of its four notoriously small change rooms. “It’s great, the community coming together,” said Manotick Culture Parks and Recreation Association board member Mike O’Neil, who spearheads the arena expansion campaign. “It’s a chance for families to come together near Christmas. (Hollerado) appeals to all age brackets, so that’ll be good,” he said. “We’re really appreciative of them making the effort.” The concert is set for 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and will include performances by local artists John Alan Slachta, Mayfair, Cameron Wyatt and Jaycee. Annie Murphy of the CBC comedy Schitt’s Creek will host the event. Tickets are available at http://eventbrite.ca, through the shortened web address https://goo.gl/oz9vS9.

Someone out there thinks Del Lee is an angel. The Metcalfe resident got his wings on Dec. 1 when he received the mayor’s Snow Angel recognition award for his hours spent shovelling his neighbours’ driveways last winter. Lee cleared snow from up to six driveways on his street whenever snow fell last year. Osgoode Coun. George Darouze attended the awards ceremony at city hall and said it made him proud to see Lee recognized among other good neighbours for his selflessness and hard work. “Someone nominated him and I was really proud to be there,” Darouze said. “When we listened to the presentation and we heard how the recognitions were awarded and what the neighbours had done, it was really remarkable.” The award is presented to good Samaritans in Ottawa who volunteered their time to help elderly or disabled neighbours during the winter of 2014-15 by clearing snow and ice from driveways, steps or walkways. Twenty-five Ottawa residents were nominated this year as Snow Angels for their work. Anyone can nominate a resident for a Snow Angel award through the city’s snow angel program. “These good Samaritans
have never done it for the recognition, but it’s always nice to reward, and to say thank you,” Darouze said. “I’m sure they’ve been thanked many times during the year, but it’s always nice to let the community know about their good Samaritan work. Del has been doing it for a while. This wasn’t his first year.” While the program – now in its second year – recognizes people for their work clearing snow and ice during the winter months, Lee is typically busy year-round helping his neighbours in any way he can. The retired RCMP officer has lived in Metcalfe for 22 years, and for the past seven years has helped an elderly, widowed neighbour by mowing her lawn and clearing snow and ice from her driveway. What started seven years ago with Lee helping out one person has evolved into something much bigger, something beyond what the Snow Angel award recognizes. In addition to clearing snow all winter, Lee often makes himself available to drive sick or elderly neighbours to medical appointments, sometimes driving to Kemptville or downtown Ottawa. He’s also been known to go to the homes of vacationing neighbours as far as two blocks away to move garbage and recycling bins from the

Del Lee doesn’t see anything extraordinary about helping his neighbours year-round by shovelling their driveways, mowing their lawns, driving them to appointments and checking on their homes while they’re on vacation. It’s all in a day’s work for the retired RCMP officer from New Brunswick.

I have no problem at all doing it.”

Winchester man faces child pornography charges Staff
A man sustained injuries to his arms and legs early on Dec. 9 after he lost control of his SUV in a sharp curve on Rideau Road, causing the vehicle to leave the road and roll at least once before hitting a hydro pole.
Man injured after violent collision destroys SUV Megan DeLaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
A man survived with only minor injuries after his SUV left Rideau Road near Hawthorn Road, rolling at least once before hitting a hydro pole in an early morning collision on Dec. 9. Paramedics, police and fire fighters responded to a call about the single-vehicle collision at 2:20 a.m. after the driver lost control of the car while negotiating a tight corner in the road. Paramedic spokesman JP Trottier said the vehicle was mangled so badly that it was unidentifiable after the collision. “I saw a picture of the scene and I just could not make out the vehicle at all,” Trottier said. “That’s how much damage there was to it.” The driver, a 35-year-old man, sustained only leg and arm injuries and was the only person involved in the collision. However, because the
SUV came to rest with the driver’s side against a hydro pole and was severely damaged, the driver needed to be extricated by firefighters. He was trapped in the vehicle for more than 40 minutes. “It took a really long time for the extrication,” Trottier said. “So again, that’s an indication of a lot of damage to the vehicle.” Paramedics assessed the driver, who was stable and conscious at the time. The man was taken to hospital with minor injuries, and Trottier said it is rare for a person involved in as violent a collision to fare so well. “I don’t know why he didn’t suffer more serious injuries, but there was a lot, a lot of damage to that vehicle, so the impact was quite severe,” Trottier said. “So for him to have what we would categorize as fairly minor injuries is absolutely amazing. So he’s pretty lucky.” Police are investigating the incident.
A Winchester man was arrested and charged by provincial police on Dec. 8 following a fourmonth long international child pornography investigation. In August, the OPP child sexual exploitation unit received a tip from the Queensland Police Service in Australia, saying that an unknown person in Ontario had uploaded child sexual abuse im-

At a brief visit downtown to the Mayors’ Annual Christmas celebration, I saw so many people enjoying entertainment along with free beavertails and hot chocolate. The Rink of Dreams was also up and running for the first outdoor skate of the year. The end of the evening was spent with volunteer firefighters at their annual District 9 Recognition Awards banquet in Greely. Many were honoured and everyone spent the evening enjoying a great buffet and entertainment. Once again, our open door Tuesday continues to be a success. We saw 7 people all coming in for short visits to discuss simple issues or concerns. I encourage you to stop in if you are around the Ward office anytime from 1-5pm every Tuesday. It would be great to see you! Cracking up the Capital comedy festival competition was a tremendous success in our Ward. We sold out all 130 tickets for this two hour non-stop show that filled the room to capacity. Way to go Ward 20!! Eleven local comedians competed for a chance to move to the finals in February in front of 3,000 people for Comedy Night in Canada finale. It was a night of laughter and good times with residents and friends. I would like to thank all those who bought tickets to support this great cause and extend a special thank you to staff that worked hard on bringing this all together. This was a joint venture with fellow Councillors’ Allan Hubley, Jodi Mitic, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney. All ticket proceeds went to Mental Health Awareness. Santa Visits Osgoode Care Centre Santa paid a special visit to the Osgoode Care Centre to see residents last Sunday and pass along some holiday cheer. There was a great turn out for this event with families visiting and having pictures taken with Santa. Hot chocolate and cookies were handed out to the visitors and residents for a special treat. The look on their faces was something to be cherished by all. Age played no favourites that day when it came to having pictures taken and printed on the spot to keep. I had a chance to chat with the residents and bring something special to their day. No words can adequately describe the feelings. It was a unique idea and my absolute pleasure to spend time with everyone there.

Week In Review My weekend was packed full of events that included Breakfast with Santa in Metcalfe and Osgoode, both followed by the Osgoode Christmas Parade. This year we had the city float with special guest Mayor Jim Watson riding on it. Osgoode also had their first pie competition that was a very tough call to make for myself and two other guest judges. In my opinion they were all winners! Congrats to all that entered! I was honoured to be asked to light up the Christmas tree in front of O-YA centre. There was also a nice fire going, live entertainment and hot chocolate to finish off the celebration. The Osgoode Township Museum held a pot luck luncheon that was at room capacity on Saturday. It was an afternoon full of good stories from those that attended and happily shared amongst myself and others. Thank you to all the volunteers and cooks that provided the delicious food.

Dissent at city hall a good thing
S
omething happened at city hall this week that didn’t please Mayor Jim Watson, but did indicate that the current crop of councillors sitting around the discussion table on Laurier Avenue are more than just a flock of sheep. Yes, there was honest to goodness dissent when it comes to – as Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans describes it – “the mayor’s budget.” There was actual disagreement and five councillors broke ranks by voting against the budget. The fact that five councillors voted nay to the 2016 budget was news in and of itself because dissent at the council table is noteworthy because it is so rare. The councillors who balked at supporting the budget cited a lack of transparency around proposed job cuts, the city’s debt load and efficiencies. Deans said she couldn’t vote for “a budget process that turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to the concerns of the city’s most vulnerable members.” Ouch. Those are fighting words. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli also voted against the budget, saying the proposed cut of 50 jobs
from the city’s workforce was unclear and he couldn’t tell residents it wouldn’t affect services without knowing where the jobs would come from. Watson said of the job cuts that it’s not council’s job to get into the city’s human resources inner workings – there’s a city manager for that. Really? Is it not every councillor’s job to question what staff is doing in the name of the city, whether the mayor likes questions being raised or not? “It’s our collective responsibility to not simply oppose everything but to propose alternatives,” Watson said. How, pray tell, does one put forward an alternative when the original proposal has not been explained? The mayor may not like it when some councillors don’t blindly stumble along the line he has drawn. But for healthy debate and a healthy exchange of ideas at city hall, it is, to take up the mayor’s theme, the collective responsibility of councillors to ask questions and not always fall in line just because the mayor prefers it that way.
Something new afoot in the city
M
any years ago I was working on a story about visitors’ impressions of Ottawa. The one that struck me then and, still does, was from a British Columbia author, Audrey Thomas. She saw Ottawa as a city of bridges. That seemed odd. To me, a city of bridges meant Paris, or maybe London. But then I started to count them — and lost track. We have bridges over the Ottawa River, over the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River. Wikipedia counted them all up, including railway bridges, and came to more than 30. That’s a surprise. But if you are on foot, as visitors tend to be more than residents, you are more aware of bridges. Walk from the Arts Centre to

In a car you wouldn’t notice, and probably shouldn’t, if you’re watching the road. Plus they always give bridges high sides now to prevent drivers from looking over. In the winter you’ll be able to look down on the frozen river. In the spring, you’ll be able to see the ice break up. For pedestrians and cyclists and hikers some of the benefits are obvious. Others await discovery. There is now easier access to Strathcona Park, for example. How will it affect how people live? What will it do for folks on the other side now that the network of trails along the river is handy for the folks in Sandy Hill. Beyond that there is the impact of a new linking of neighbourhoods.

uOttawa picks Jacques Frémont as president Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
The University of Ottawa has chosen the head of Quebec’s human rights commission as its next president. The university announced Jacques Frémont will replace Allan Rock as its next president and vicechancellor on Dec. 2. A specialist in constitutional
law, Frémont is a professor at the University of Montreal and has held various administrative roles over three decades at the school, including dean of the faculty of law. “As an experienced leader and academic, Jacques Frémont will unite our community and help us write the next chapter in the history of the University of Ottawa,” said Robert Giroux, chair of the selection committee that chose
Frémont. The new president said he is excited to join uOttawa, which he heralded for its programs, research and approach to bilingualism. “This university has a rich history of merging both francophone and anglophone cultures,” Frémont said in a statement. “Preserving and developing French culture in Ontario and further bilingualism and biculturalism
Notice of Project Completion Municipal Class EA Phase II Report and Conceptual Rehabilitation Solutions for Ottawa River Outfalls
The overall project followed an integrated planning approach. The study was carried out as a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan and followed Approach #2 from the MEA Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007). This approach involves the preparation of a Master Plan report at the conclusion of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process where the level of investigation, consultation and documentation are sufficient to fulfill the requirements of Schedule B projects. Any Schedule A and A+ projects identified in the Master Plan may proceed in accordance with the implementation requirements defined by the Municipal Class EA. This report documents the results of an environmental assessment completed in the context of the MEA Class Environmental Assessment (Schedule B) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) and the screening process under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). While the outfalls themselves are owned by the City of Ottawa, the requirement to undertake the screening process relates to the fact that most of the outfalls are located on lands owned by the National Capital Commission (NCC). Seven outfalls were assessed to be Schedule B which required more detail including the completion of more detailed site inspections, additional stakeholder consultation, selection of the preferred alternative, and a second public meeting to present the preferred alternatives and the methodology used in the decision making process. These outfalls are as follows: Seven Outfalls Identified as Class EA Schedule ‘B’ Undertakings Outfall Number

The project is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The EA study has confirmed project need and justification, documented existing environmental conditions, examined alternatives, potential impacts and recommended mitigation measures, and provided opportunity for comments from review agencies and the public, all leading to the development of a preferred solution. If concerns arise regarding this project, which cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environment assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of the first publication of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City at the address below. If there is no request received by Monday, January 18, 2016, the project will proceed to detailed design and construction as presented in the planning documentation.

Budget constraints may delay Airport Parkway expansion Potential deferral spells temporary relief for Walkley Road West residents Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Walkley Road residents are embracing the news of a possible one-year delay for the construction start date and subsequent opening of the proposed first phase of the Airport Parkway expansion and a Walkley Road off-ramp. “We were very positive ... that it was not going to be done now,” said Bob Laird, who lives on Walkley Road West and has opposed the connector off-ramp since about 1997 when it was first floated, arguing that it would bring more traffic, speeding and cut-through motorists to parts of Riverside Park. “I think we’re probably hopeful that by the time (the expansion route is opened), that whole trans-
portation issue in that south end will be sorted out. “I hope that people will take this as an opportunity to look at other transportation (solutions), such as car-sharing,” Laird said. “We’re optimistic that by (then) the city planners and the councillors will have looked at and developed other systems for moving people around.” The deferral would be approved if city council adopted the 2016 budget, which it was expected to consider Dec. 9. The city’s financial pressures are behind the possible expansion and off-ramp deferral, which would move the construction start date from 2018-19 to 2019-20. According to 2013 estimates, the first phase of the three-phase $84.3-mil-
lion expansion, would cost $31.4 million. “There is such a financial crunch at the city they can defer the phase one,” said River Coun. Riley Brockington, who learned of the possible deferral in recent weeks and that the city’s mid-2015 $41-million deficit is to blame. The project’s 24-month environmental assessment, now underway, will continue and a public meeting in late February will go ahead before the transportation committee and council vote on the final recommendations, including the offramp option. “If council approves that ramp (for phase one) it would be pushed a year as well,” Brockington said. He said the project would likely not be postponed indefinitely, given the need for the widening. The councillor recently stood on the parkway pedestrian bridge around 8:30 a.m. and watched as
streams of traffic crawled north. “It was bumper to bumper,” he said. “Just being on that bridge looking southbound, seeing the cars merge in from Hunt Club (Road) and seeing the long snake coming from as far as I can see – it’s the same thing in the afternoon (with) cars heading southbound.” While Brockington recognizes the need for the parkway lane twinning, he has long said it would have been more beneficial to first extend the Trillium O-Train LRT line south before adding more traffic lanes. “It’s the smartest way to do it,” he said. “I think that if both are going to get done, you should push and promote public transportation options – get people to take the public transit. “You get them on it and you make it convenient and accessible, because if you make driving easier, people switch.”

It was a dark June night. The Royal Canadian Navy Destroyer, HMCS Algonquin was 150 miles off the cost of California. Commanding Officer Tim Kerr was preparing the crew for a two month deployment. Tim’s life was about to change…forever. One minute Tim is running the treadmill in the ship’s gymnasium. The next thing he remembers is waking up in the US Navy Hospital in San Diego. Tim had suffered a brain hemorrhage and serious stroke. “I was unable to us my left arm or leg,” he recalls. “I couldn’t even sit up straight.” Even though Tim’s crew made life-saving decisions he still faced a very long road to recovery. Tim immediately began his fight to regain some of his previous life. Tim’s journey brought him to Élizabeth Bruyère Hospital. “Bruyère is a world-class facility,” says Tim. “They have the best people and they are focused on getting their patients up, out and back to a regular life. That’s what they did for me.” Tim spent six months at Bruyère as a patient in the Stroke Rehabilitation Unit and as an outpatient where he continued to receive rehabilitation services. “It was a tough six months” recalls Tim. “There were setbacks, tears and eventually…triumph, thanks to all the professionals at Bruyère.” Tim knows he was lucky to survive. People who meet him today have no idea he once suffered a massive stroke. Tim also knows luck had nothing to do with his recovery. “I owe my new life to the people at Bruyère and the donors who so kindly support the
work they do,” says Tim. He understands how life can change in an instant. Bruyère has been part of Ottawa for 170 years. “There is an urgent and real need for a strong Bruyère in our community,” he says. “Together we must ensure they have the tools they need to help us if ever and whenever we need them.” Year-end giving at Bruyère. “I hope people read my story and make a year-end gift in support of Bruyère. So many people will be grateful for the support.” YOUR END OF YEAR SUPPORT MATTERS When you support Bruyère, you help people like Tim Kerr.

For everything there is a season
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; …a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance…” ~ Ecclesiastes 3
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife
O
ur little Leti was born this past week, about a month early. It was exciting and terrifying at the same time when we realized Annie was not just having false contractions but was in labour. She was one day short of 36 weeks when the pains started. The new mom and dad called us in to meet Leti when she was about an hour old, after she had had her skinto-skin time with both her parents, and they had all had a chance to introduce
themselves. Leti was making a squeaking noise, like voiced breathing or high-pitched snoring, every time she breathed. The nurse said that, although it sounds ‘cute’, it actually means her little lungs were straining as they pumped outside the womb for the first time. The nurses took Leti over to the weigh table and made her comfortable. Then they put a little mask over her nose and mouth and pumped air in and out, slowly expand-
ing and exercising her lungs. Leti closed her eyes and raised her arms to fall back alongside her head. She was totally relaxed. “She’s at the spa,” smiled the nurse. Born at 6 lb. 7oz. and 20 inches long, this was not a small baby by any means. In fact she was likely growing a bit too long for her petite (and very active) mother and that is why she came early. She didn’t look premature; her skin was plump and pink and she cried heartily. But getting
this little one to eat on her own would take some convincing. She probably felt she was owed at least another month of womb service before having to do any work on her own. She was whisked off to CHEO the night of her birth, so they could get her started nursing and take care of the early-baby jaundice under the heat lamp. Another spa treatment. After a few routine tests, Leti should be able to go home for real on Tuesday. Everyone is very excited to meet her. She has made a grand entrance to this life. On Sunday evening, as about fourteen of us were gathered around the dinner table celebrating Leti’s birth, someone else was making his exit. Harry Pratt spent the
“That was way to easy!”
past several weeks in an intense battle with pancreatic cancer. Finally he was at Kemptville District Hospital, the place he had valued so highly in his life, spending countless hours volunteering his services as an MC and auctioneer to raise funds for much-needed equipment. His family and friends turned the cafeteria of Kemptville District Hospital into a ‘winter wonderland’ chapel on Saturday, so that he could be part of his daughter’s wedding celebration. On Sunday, a close friend told him that everything had been said, and everything had been done. If he needed to go now, it was ok. So he did. Harry was just 68 years old when he passed away. My mom worked with Harry at Towne Construction when she first came to Kemptville in 1965 so he and Sheila were always good friends of our family.
But we all have memories of the great man and the work that he did in this community – some of it public, much of it private. He was caring and generous to a fault. He treated everyone like an equal and he exuded a positive attitude while wearing an infectious grin. While sifting through your own memories of Harry Pratt, I would recommend you make sure there is at least one in there of Harry dancing. Because I think that is what he is doing now. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kemptville. You will be remembered. Friends and family are working on plans to celebrate Harry’s life. So many people didn’t get a chance to say goodbye, and thank you. We will let you know as soon as we hear what has been organized. dianafisher1@gmail.com theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM Phillips Brooks 19th Century Lewis H. Redner 19th Century
O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and BlitzenBut do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?
Still through the cloven skies they come. With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.
In other words, “have yourself a merry little Christmas!”

drive shed. There were bits and drabs of paint; a bright green used to freshen the pump in the Spring. About an inch in the bottom of another paint can was bright orange. And then Father locked his eyes on the can of silver paint used to paint the stove pipes in the house. “By gar, there’s enough here to do the job real nice,” he said, shaking the can to make sure. He got a paint brush that had been sitting in a pot of turpentine, gave it a few swipes with an old rag he found on the dirt floor, and without consulting Mother, began slapping the silver paint onto the two front fenders. Father had to scrape the bottom of the paint pail to get the very last drop out, which he slathered over the already painted fenders for good measure. Well, all of this was done without consulting Mother. It was getting dark in the drive shed when he asked me to run in the house and get Mother. “Don’t tell her about the painting...just tell her I need her out here for a real nice surprise.” Well, Mother threw a sweater over her house dress and went out to see what Father wanted, with my sister Audrey close on her heels. What he wanted, and what he expected was for Mother to be overjoyed with the new silver fenders! She slapped her hand over her mouth, and said nothing. It was Audrey who said exactly what she thought of Father’s paint job. She vowed she wouldn’t be caught dead in a car with silver fenders, and that’s all there was to it. She said if she had to drive into town in it, Father could let her out at the outskirts. Well, she wouldn’t have to worry about it for a few months anyway. The car was in the drive shed for the winter. The next day, a Saturday it was, Father rounded up the three brothers, and rolled four big blocks of wood from the wood pile into the drive shed. And as if it was as light as a feather, they hoisted up the car and put the four blocks under it, freeing the wheels from the cold dirt floor for the winter. Audrey changed her mind about riding in the car with the silver fenders

Memories
when she found out she either got in or stayed home when Spring rolled round. As for me, I thought the paint job added a touch of class to the old car. I knew we were the owners of the only car in all of Renfrew County with silver fenders, and a hole in the floor where I could see the Northcote road without even looking out a window.

W
e hadn’t had the old Model T Ford for a full year. It came to us through the simple act of a trade. A neighbour needed sand from our gravel pit, he had no money to pay for it, and we got the old battered car instead of cash. It was that simple. The deal was made with the shake of a hand. Load after load of gravel was hauled by my brothers to the neighbour’s culvert, which had been washed away with the Spring runoff of the Bonnechere River, and when the final load was delivered, my brother Everett drove the old Model T home. It wasn’t much to look at. The two front fenders were different colours, a result of the original owner trying, and failing, to paint over a deep dent, and there was a hole in the floor board in the back seat as big as a pie plate that allowed you to see the washboard road out of Northcote without looking out the window. But it was our first car, and it opened up a whole new world for us. The time it took to ride into Renfrew with the horse was cut in half, and Mother who soon mastered the fine art of driving the old car, even ventured as far as Ottawa. But those mismatched fenders didn’t sit well with Father. He managed to partially repair the dent with a hammer, and he said one day when he had a bit of time to spare, he would nail a piece of tin over the hole in the floorboards in the back. And then, after the first snow fall that year (and it was a doozie) Father said it was time to think about putting the car up for the winter. I was really upset, because I never once thought we couldn’t drive the Model T through the snow. Father pointed to the narrow tires with the stem of his pipe and said, “Ya wouldn’t even get as far as the gate in the snow with those.” So Father drove the car into the drive shed where it would sit until the Spring thaw. Father was pretty proud of that old car. And that Fall day he decided it was only fitting that the Model T have fenders that matched. Buying new ones from Thacker’s Garage in Renfrew, even if they were available, was out of the question, so Father decided he would paint them both the same colour. He looked over all the old cans of paint stacked on a shelf in the

Christmas in the sunshine Clockwise bottom left and right: The Osgoode Christmas Parade rolled by under sunny skies on Dec. 5. Entries included area politicians, firefighters, Girl Guides and Scouts, among several others. MIddle Ada Geniole, 3, of Osgoode, left, and Alianna Glendenning, two-and-a-half, of South Keys, are all bundled up to ward off the chill under sunny skies as the Osgoode Christmas parade rolls by. Top despite the warm weekend temperatures, Frosty didn’t melt while speaking with Wilburn Cowan, sergeant-at-arms with the Osgoode Legion Branch 589 of the Royal Canadian Legion, prior to the start of the Osgoode Christmas parade. Top right Santa’s presence in the Osgoode Christmas parade was a highlight for many families lining the parade route.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s 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!

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make the most of an opportunity to move forward with your goals. You have plenty of energy, and your mind is focused. Hang around with like-minded individuals as well. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t get too wrapped up in other people’s business, Cancer. You don’t want to intrude on others, and your loved ones are fully capable of solving their own problems.

National Gallery plans global photography institute Alex Robinson

The National Gallery of Canada has announced it will create a global research centre for photography. The Canadian Photography Institute will be a “world class” centre that will house what gal-
lery executives said will be one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of photographs. The centre will seek to have collections “representing the entire history of the medium,” and will focus on the history, evolution and future of photography. “The scale of the Ca-
nadian Photography Institute is such that we will be able to entirely reimagine how to collect, present, study, preserve and disseminate our photograph collection, while enabling countless others to reach a greater understanding of humankind through the culture of pictures,” said Mark Meyer,
the gallery’s director. The gallery, which has been collecting photographs since 1967, will launch the institute thanks to a $10-million donation from Scotiabank and support pledged from art collector David Thomson, who is also the chair of Thomson Reuters Corp.
archival photographs from the Globe and Mail and will debut in May 2016. The National Gallery is already home to the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography collection, which permanently closed its separate location next to the Chateau Laurier in 2009.
“Thanks to partnership efforts, the visual arts community and Canadians will benefit from a national research and exhibition centre that presents and preserves an outstanding collection of photographic works,” said federal Heritage Minister Melanie Joly. The institute’s first exhibit will feature

Roasted squash salad with apples makes a lovely side dish This recipe salad has layers of sweetness from the squash, apples and honey, balanced by the cider vinegar and goat cheese. The roasted squash seeds add a crunchy addition. Preparation Time: 45 minutes Baking Time: 40 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients
• 3/4 cup (175 mL) apple cider vinegar • 1/4 cup (50 mL) honey • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, melted • Salt and black pepperå • 1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4 cups/1 L), reserve seeds • 1/4 cup (50 mL) olive oil • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh thyme leaves • 2 Honeycrisp apples, cut into matchsticks • 3/4 cup (175 mL) crumbled goat cheese (Chévre) Preparation instructions
The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!
In large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the vinegar, honey, butter and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add squash and toss to coat; remove squash with slotted spoon reserving vinegar mixture. Place squash on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast in 375°F (190°C) oven,
basting occasionally with reserved vinegar mixture, until squash is tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside. Meanwhile, separate seeds from pulp; soak seeds in bowl of water for five minutes. Drain and place on clean tea towel; dry seeds and remove any excess pulp. In small bowl, toss seeds with 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread in single layer on small parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in 375°F (190°C) until seeds are golden, eight to ten minutes. Place on paper towel. In small bowl, whisk together remaining vinegar and oil, thyme and a pinch each salt and pepper. Set aside. In medium bowl, toss squash and apples with enough vinaigrette to coat. Place on large serving platter. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese and roasted seeds. Nutritional information

Merry Christmas from Manotick
Erin McCracken/Metroland
Waiting for the Jolly Old Elf Clockwise bottom left: Hundreds of families, and many more young children, anxiously anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus, who served as the grand finale in the Manotick Christmas parade on Dec. 5.. Top left: Jennifer Mondoux, of Riverside South, and her daughter, four-year-old Clara Rollins, nibble on sweet treats prior to the start of the Manotick Christmas parade. Hundreds of people came out to enjoy the festive parade under sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures. Top right: Kars resident J.P. Fournier, president of Turtle Island Brewery Co., pours himself a warm lunch during the crafters’ market at Watson’s Mill in Manotick. Manotick was transformed for a weekend-long oldefashioned Christmas celebration, featuring wagon rides, a parade, Victorian crafts, a concert and carolling. Middle, Mason Helem, 5, and his sister, Brooklyn, 8, of the Manotick area, hold signs sure to get the attention of Santa Claus. The siblings were among several hundred people who lined Main Street for the Manotick Christmas parade. Manotick News - Thursday, December 17, 2015

will have the best equipment. CT scans are the backbone of Medical Imaging. They give radiologists the critical information needed to diagnose and save lives. CHEO needs a new CT scanner that will transform CHEO’s ability to improve technique and decrease scan time. Pictures of your child’s brain or body can be obtained much faster! These pictures are very accurate and detailed and they allow radiologists to detect small and important changes or concerns.
It will have a tremendous impact on patient care. From babies to teenagers, patients who need these exams must be exposed to radiation in order to find a diagnosis. With the new technologies available, new scanners emit lower radiation doses significantly and are much faster. This means a patient spends less time on the CT table! It can mean a reduced need for anesthesia as well.
PLEASE HELP US PURCHASE THIS REVOLUTIONARY PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY TO HELP CHEO’S PATIENTS, JUST LIKE VIENNA. Have a profound impact on the life of a child!
