News – Christmas came early on Dec. 17 when plans for the Dickinson Square development were finally revealed – and residents liked what they saw.

Three of the five properties put up for sale this summer met the city’s minimum bid requirements, leaving Dickinson House and the Carriage Shed in the city’s hands.

Proving the rumours true, local developer Joe Princiotta won the bid to develop 1125 Clapp Ln., on which he plans to build a 32-unit independent living facility for seniors.

The Orchardview Living Centre owner will also purchase the Ayres building across the square at 1128 Mill St., which is currently used by Rural Ottawa South Support

Services (ROSSS). The nonprofit agency will stay there for at least 18 months. The third property went to Orleans businesswoman Lorna Challis, who will develop the vacant Weaver House at 1131 Mill St. into a year-round Christmas store and gift shop. She currently owns a similar store called Christmas Presence in Place D’Orleans mall.

The meeting was a success, according to RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who led the session in the Manotick arena.

Moffatt chairs the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation, a subsidiary of the city tasked with selling or leasing the five Manotick properties purchased in 2007. At the time of the purchase, city council stipulated that the $2.15 million spent acquiring the properties from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority had to be regained through sale or lease, and created the MMQCDC to make it happen.

For the past two years, the board has been consulting with residents, community groups and business leaders to determine what the village wants to see in Dickinson Square, the universally accepted heart of Manotick.

The board created a number of requirements for potential buyers, including bid minimums on each building, experience in heritage property management, tourist operations and/or adaptive reuse, and compliance with a list of design guidelines that ensures any new buildings or extensions complement the square.

Santa’s helpers Staff at the Scotiabank in Osgoode presented a $5,000 donation to the Osgoode Co-operative Nursery School on Dec. 18 after five bank employees volunteered at a Santa Breakfast fundraiser earlier in the month. According to the non-profit organization, the annual breakfast had its most successful turnout ever on Dec. 7, and raised one third of the school’s operating budget for the 2013/2014 school year.

Scotiabank had agreed to match the fundraiser’s proceeds up to $5,000.

From left, school co-president Jillian Scalabrini and events co-ordinator Cheri Fraser met with Scotiabank staffers Jaime Leonard, Brittany Jackson, Christine Scharff and Natalie Hilborn to accept the cheque along with school treasurer Sarah Pelchat and teacher Paulette Meurs. In the front row, current and future students Abigayle Ross, Violet Pelchat, Maelle Scalabrini, Hannah Nixon, Jordyn Rasa, Joshua Clark and Audrey Pelchat came along for the celebration.

Manotick community relieved by city decision Princiotta has been open about his interest in developing the Clapp property, particularly because he owns 1129 Clapp next door.

“The corner was attractive, and we wanted to do something that would complement our seniors’ home (across the street),” he said. The proposed development would run the length of the narrow property on the corner of Clapp and Dickinson Street, offering between 30 and 32 seniors’ apartments that include catered meals and on-site services.

The building will have underground parking entering off of Clapp, and the corner facing Bridge and Dickinson could have some commercial development like a coffee shop or office space for a non-profit agency, Princiotta said.

The coffee shop idea is still “up in the air,” he said, but promised the space would complement the square and his tenants. “Our residents live in that building, so it has to be for them,” he said. “It’s going to have to be something special.”

The concept drawings presented on Dec. 17 show a three-storey, red brick building with four peaked dormers along the front, which faces Dickinson Street and the Rideau River. The building has been designed by Nicholas Caragianis, the same architect responsible for the ongoing plaza development at the corner of Bridge and Manotick Main Streets.

The red brick is meant to tie in the Ayres building across the square, but Princiotta said the building will also replicate a stone foundation like the

OUTSTANDING SALES

The Dickinson House and Carriage Shed will remain in the city’s hands for at least another year, as none of the bids for them met the city’s requirements.

That means its status quo for Watson’s Mill Management Inc, which operates out of the Carriage Shed, and the Rideau Township Historical Society, which runs a living history museum out of Dickinson House.

Princiotta has not outlined his long-term plans for the Ayres building, but the agreement allows ROSSS to remain a tenant there for at least 18 months.

Moffatt said the city is committed to helping ROSSS find a new location in Manotick that will serve the needs of the agency and its clients, who are mostly seniors and adults with mobility issues.

“We need to find the ideal space,” Moffatt said.

The Weaver House is currently vacant, and was considered by many residents a difficult property to sell because of its deteriorating condition.

But Moffatt surprised the crowd on

the process.

“Obviously it’s not over yet, and there’s a lot of work ahead of us,” she said. “But I feel reassured and I sincerely believe that the city wants to work with us. We’re going ahead as if we’re here for the long term. We’re planning for next year.”

The mill will install a new phone system next year, and Geoffrion has notified her partners at the Manotick Farmers’ Market and the annual book sale that 2014 programs are a go.

Of course, Geoffrion is also nursing the glimmer of hope that appeared when Moffatt confirmed that only $100,000 is still outstanding from the board’s $2.15 million mandate.

The three property sales added up to $1.8 million, and a sixth property – the Holloway lot on the east side of Dickinson – can’t be sold, but takes care of another $250,000.

Geoffrion hopes that means a future sale process could offer reduced prices on the two heritage buildings.

Moffatt said decisions about the final two buildings will be made in 2014, with the potential for a revised sale process in 2015.

“That is a board decision,” Moffatt said.

The approximately 60 residents who attended the meeting were generally pleased by the plan. Several times, residents broke into spontaneous applause as various details were revealed.

“Well done, Scott,” Manotick Lions president Kris Schulz added at the end of his presentation.

After the meeting, countless residents approached the councillor to shake his hand and offer their support.

Meetings weren’t always this easy for the rookie councillor; when consultations first began two years ago, residents were appalled to discover that the MMQCDC board would make the final decision without giving residents a chance to see the bids.

But Moffatt insisted that the community’s visioning exercises, meetings and feedback would inform the final decision; they just had to trust the process.

“I’ve tried to put everything on the table so that when we got to this point, there would be no surprises,” he said.

In the end, it worked.

“I think he delivered,” said Watson’s Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion, who depends on the Carriage Shed to operate the mill and its programs.

2013 a year of painful progress for south-end villagers The past year has been a bumpy ride for villagers living south of the city, full of angst over some of the biggest issues to face the region in years.

The fate of the Rideau Carleton Raceway, for instance, united residents across Osgoode and Rideau wards as they fought to keep one of their biggest economic drivers afloat in the face of an Ottawa casino.

In Manotick, the fate of Dickinson Square was in question until Dec. 17, when residents finally got to see what their beloved historic

gathering space will look like in the future.

But despite the uncertainty, it has also been a year of progress.

Greely jumped on board to bring Osgoode Ward its first roundabout (coming soon to a Stagecoach intersection near you), and an ATV group from Winchester will be the first to legally drive their four-wheelers inside Ottawa boundaries.

Plans are also well underway to bring a much-needed youth centre to the village of Manotick.

And those are just the front page

headlines; villagers were busy making news from January straight through to December.

JANUARY

What started as a simple crosswalk near Manotick’s new seniors’ residence blossomed into a fullfledged signalized intersection after staff added $500,000 to the project’s funding envelope. Another $50,000 was funded by seniors’ residence developer Joe Princiotta to make sure proper crosswalks were includ-

ed. The signalized intersection was set to open in December.

A growing drug problem in the Ottawa region prompted the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre to develop an early intervention service for youth addicted to painkillers like fentanyl. The outpatient service was launched in early January and was discussed in detail on Jan. 21 at a public meeting in Manotick, where Ottawa’s fentanyl abuse problem first became apparent in summer 2012.

FEBRUARY

Osgoode-area residents came out in droves to support Linda Pandel, a Metcalfe hair stylist who was waiting for a double lung transplant, at a fundraising event planned by her family and friends. The community raised more than $10,000 for the family, but Pandel died in hospital waiting for her transplant on March 4.

A plan to allow all-terrain vehicles on the shoulders of several roads in Osgoode was well-received at a public meeting on Jan. 24. Nation Valley ATV Club member Kris Gough offered residents at the Osgoode community association’s AGM an early look at his proposal for a two-year pilot project that the city then put forward for feedback in February. The project was later approved, although ATVs have not yet started driving inside Ottawa’s boundaries.

The Dickinson Square development process officially got underway of Feb. 1 when the City of Ottawa posted a request for expressions of interest on Merx.com, Canada’s public tenders website. The document included information about four heritage buildings up for grabs, as well as a development property at the corner of Dickinson Street and Clapp Lane.

Be the first to know of Openings and Priority Registrations

The community was supportive of a plan to redevelop the plaza on the north-west corner of Manotick Main Street and Bridge Street. The property owners proposed adding a new bank and shopping plaza in front of the existing strip mall, which would stay the same for now.

The plan included landscaping and beautification along the sidewalks.

Taggart-Miller announced in February its decision to use a Boundary Road site for its proposed dump, which would provide industrial and commercial waste disposal services. Later, the city announced it would provide financial assistance to groups looking to oppose the new dump.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson was vocal in his fight against the city’s approval to allow Rogers to place a telecommunications tower on Sale Barn Rd near some Greely homes. The councillor wanted to see the antenna moved farther down the road to a city-owned vacant piece of land at 6326 Bank St., just south of where Sale Barn Road meets Bank.

A Manotick health food store was reduced to rubble after a March 17 fire. The Natural Market building at 1140 Tighe St. went up in flames around 11 p.m. and crews fought the fire for several hours. A spokesperson with the fire department described the building as “a complete loss” with $450,000 in damage. No one was injured. A second vacant unit in the same building was also destroyed in the fire.

Cell towers, casino locations hot issues this spring Continued from page 5

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson made good on his threat to cancel the city’s support of a Rogers communications tower in Greely unless the company considered an alternate location farther from homes in April.

Thompson wanted to convince Rogers that it should move the antenna from the proposed site at 1536 Sale Barn Rd. farther down the road to a city-owned vacant piece of land at 6326 Bank St., just south of where Sale Barn Road meets Bank. All council members in attendance voted in favour.

The city announced it would plant more than 100 trees in Manotick this spring to try to salvage the village’s tree cover before the emerald ash borer took hold. At an information meeting at the Manotick arena on April 18, the Manotick Culture,

Parks and Recreation Association invited city staff to speak to residents about a tree planting initiative meant to mitigate the loss of tree canopy as ash trees are removed from public property.

Changes to accessible transit service in rural areas weren’t working, according to riders who spoke out against changes to Para Transpo. Instead of running Para Transpo vans to transport disabled people within rural areas, OC Transpo decided in 2012 to instead provide funding to community service organizations that provide rides. A year later the change had left people stranded and isolated, residents said.

MAY

The new aluminum roof on Watson’s Mill was finished in time for the heritage mill’s opening day on

May 4, a full six months ahead of schedule. The roof’s quick construction was due to community generosity, mill staff said. The mill received just over $100,000 in grants, on top of about $150,000 from the mill’s capital projects reserve. The rest came from community donations.

Regular users of Manotick’s David Bartlett Park were dismayed in May to find that damage from a resident’s septic system replacement the previous fall still existed after the snow melted. A road-sized swath of muddy, grassless earth cut through the green space to a backyard on Bravar Drive on the opposite side. Homeowner John Mazzarello had patched the parkland with topsoil and grass seed in November, but it didn’t take hold.

McKibbon, a husband and wife duo who own the All Seasons Weddings officiant service, bought the building in May 2012 and spent $200,000 restoring the church over the summer.

JUNE

An entire industry breathed a sigh of relief on June 3 when Mayor Jim Watson said the Rideau Carleton Raceway should be the only option for a future casino in Ottawa. In a surprising about-face on the issue, Watson informed councillors by email on Monday night he would propose “that the city identify the Rideau Carleton Raceway as the only acceptable location for an expanded gaming facility in Ottawa.”

The Manotick legion announced early in June its plans to design a Remembrance Park north of the cenotaph, in the green space knwon as the Holloway property. Since then, the park plans have moved forward with an expanded brick apron around the cenotaph and brick sidewalk to Bridge Street. The park should be complete by 2017.

Greely resident Mark O’Neill received the mayor’s city builder award for bringing the 911 system to Ottawa 25 years ago. During a city council meeting on June 12 Mayor Jim Watson and Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson commended O’Neill - now the president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Civilization corporation - for his “outstanding community service and public advocacy.”

In June the city approved Nation Valley ATV club’s bid to allow ATVs on select city roads in and around the village of Osgoode as part of a twoyear pilot project. The road network includes 8.3 km on some roads. The idea is to create a trail “backbone,” which would hopefully be supplemented by trails through private property over time through agreements with owners, said Kris Gough, a member of the ATV club.

Another good year

T

he year 2013 has been many things.

Here in Ottawa, it has been a year of new beginnings. A stadium is in the works, tunnels are bored beneath the streets, two new sporting institutions are taking shape, and official plans have been ratified to guide our city into the future.

It was a year of a terrible tragedy, when the lives of six people were lost during a horrific bus crash near the Fallowfield Transitway station. Dozens were injured. We can only hope that the lessons learned from that tragic moment in time will help us prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

It has been a year of controversy. Daniel Alfredsson snuck out of town in the middle of the night. Tall towers have been planned and opposed, heritage has been preserved and destroyed, buses have been diverted, highways constricted by construction. Bridges have been delayed, bridges have been abandoned, and bridges have been mired in mismanagement. It was a bad year for bridges. It wasn’t a particularly good year for electronic bus passes either.

It has been a year of consistency. Winter was cold, summer was steamy and property tax increases were kept to a minimum. Bluesfest still rocked.

Our mayor still managed to appear at every pancake

breakfast and barbecue he could.

Elsewhere, political uncertainty and scandal were hallmarks of 2013. Ontario witnessed the arrival of Kathleen Wynne as premier. She has been dogged by the legacy of her predecessor, and Queen’s Park has teetered on the brink of an election ever since.

On Parliament Hill, things haven’t been much different. The Senate expense scandal has gobbled up great chunks of time in both the red chamber and House of Commons. When it wasn’t the trials and tribulations of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau leading the evening news or topping the front pages, there was always Toronto’s Rob Ford there to fill the vacuum.

Yet through it all, Ottawa has a great deal to be thankful for. Despite federal public service job cuts, the city is still faring better economically than many across the province. The light rail system currently under construction will revolutionize transit and spur development across the city.

Ottawa is a wonderfully green city, with parks and open spaces easily accessible to all who live here. It is a vibrant city, with culture to spare for those who wish to seek it out. The past year has been many things, but it has proven once again how fortunate we are to live in the nation’s capital.

The heartwarming technology of Christmas

T

he technology is lining up pretty well for Christmas this year. Santa’s helpers at the mall will, for a small fee, put your child’s photo with the big guy on a flash drive for you. So there’s that worry taken care of.

It needs hardly to be said that online shopping grows every year. People don’t have to go out to be among other people, except to get their flash drives from Santa’s helpers.

Also, the word has just come in that it is now possible to buy Christmas trees online.

Home Depot in the U.S. has put trees on its website. Ikea sells them in Britain and there’s another big company in Sweden that does it too.

Meanwhile, Amazon is working on a delivery drone. This is a great relief to those people who thought they might have to go out of the house this season and interact with other people.

And there’s this other advantage, found in a newspaper quote from a happy California online tree shopper – “no needles in the car!”

Yes. It’s such a drag at this time of year to have a car that smells like Christmas trees. It reminds you of, well, Christmas.

So things are moving right along. Not that there isn’t room for improvement. Some

Funny Town children are not being co-operative. They are becoming less and less enthusiastic about having their pictures taken.

This may have to do with the fact that every adult they know now has a camera, often disguised as a phone, and the children are constantly forced to pose. And now they have to stand in line in the mall so that their parents can get them and Santa on a flash drive so that they can email photos instead of writing Christmas cards.

But you know, progress is inevitable. Some day it will possible to have robots that will look like children and be more co-operative in front of cameras.

There still remains the necessity of going outside for certain things, such as the picture of Santa and your robot. But surely, if we can

put a man on the moon, we can fix this.

Which leads us, reluctantly, to the following heart-warming Christmas story.

The Christmas Drone It had been a difficult day and Bob was wondering whether this might turn out to be the worst Christmas ever. First the children had, for the fourth visit in a row, refused to have their picture taken with Santa. There would be no flash drive this Christmas.

Then the outdoor Christmas lights refused to turn on automatically, which meant that Bob had to go outside to flip a switch.

Then the WiFi went down. “Oh no!” cried Bob. “How will I finish my Christmas shopping?”

The Christmas cards were all stuck in the community mailbox with care and the Christmas tree he had ordered online was nowhere in sight.

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter on the roof that Bob wondered he would have to get new insulation. But he sprang out of his house to see what was the matter, hoping he could remember the access code to get back in, and lo and behold his eyes beheld a tiny little airplane.

He was hoping that the tiny little airplane could talk, otherwise it would be difficult to

tell the rest of the story.

“Where did you come from?” he asked the tiny little airplane.

“I’m The Christmas Drone,” the tiny little airplane said. “I come from Amazon to bring presents to all the little children of the world and their lazy parents.”

“Did you bring my Christmas tree?” Bob asked.

“Not my job,” the Christmas Drone said.

“The Ikea drone should be along any minute.”

“This will be the happiest Christmas ever!” said Bob, although, to tell the truth, he was getting a bit tired of the clatter on the rooftop.

Lincoln’s MKC Moves

from Concept to Production

by Brian Turner

Lincoln marked another milestone recently in its journey to compete decisively in the prestige and luxury market with the all-new 2015 MKC SPV (Small Premium Utility Vehicle). The Lincoln design team faced the dual challenge of meeting the ever-changing demands of younger luxury vehicle consumers while further defining the Lincoln design DNA. The MKC Concept, which was revealed to the public at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, introduced a uniquely crafted wraparound lift-gate, a design feature that carried over to the production model. Its side-cut design gives MKC an uninterrupted rear-view to epitomize elegance, while its hands-free feature is another example of Lincoln’s commitment to build customer-friendly vehicles.

Those aspirations also carry through to the interior, where the merging of craftsmanship and technology combine to offer a warm, luxurious environment.

Featuring an architecturally unique instrument panel that showcases Lincoln’s signature push-button gear shifter, MKC creates an open, welcoming interior.

Inviting leathers and available Bridge of Weir leather and real-wood trim accentuate

MKC’s elegance and grace. “We gave attention to every detail to convey a stylish, luxurious vehicle,” said Soo Kang, Lincoln interior design chief. “The structure of the interior allows for openness, and that space contributes to the overall ambience. We want this vehicle to not only meet but often exceed the expectations of the new Lincoln customer.”

“We’re confident we’ve created an allnew vehicle that will attract new customers to the brand while meeting the expectations of long-time Lincoln drivers,” said Max Wolff, director, Lincoln Design. “The execution of the new liftgate is a prime example of how a signature premium design element can create a better customer experience.”

In the 2015 MKC, Lincoln will introduce a series of customer-focused comfort features they call ‘Lincoln Experiences’.

Systems such as ‘Approach Detection’ will allow the MKC to respond to an approaching owner (identified by the key in his or her possession) and illuminate the ground near the doors and in the outer door handle pockets for easier and safer entry. A communication system will allow drivers to interact with the vehicle remotely using the

smart phone-enabled MyLincoln Mobile app. An embedded modem on each vehicle communicates with the app which allows owners to start, lock, unlock and locate the vehicle. Drivers also can use the app to perform a variety of other functions such as place a call for roadside assistance; monitor the vehicle’s fuel level; check the tire pressure and battery status; and program engine start times. .“Lincoln Experiences are about creating a warm, personal driving experience every time a Lincoln owner approaches their vehicle,” said Matt VanDyke, Director, Global Lincoln. “Today’s premium car buyer is more demanding than ever. Our goal is to create vehicles that not only meet those evolving demands, but exceed them and redefine what the luxury car-buying and driving experience should be.”

Production of the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2014 at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Ky. Vehicles will begin arriving to Lincoln dealerships next summer. Canadian pricing has been announced, starting at $39,940.

Full Service Mechanical Wheel Alignments Tire Sales, Installation and Balancing

by Brian Turner

What few people outside of the auto repair business know is that in order to run a successful body-shop like CARSTAR Kanata, a complete and effective support system must be in place to deal with the mechanical, electrical, and electronics components of a modern vehicle in order to return it to like-new condition after a collision. To that end, Yvon Allard has recruited and trained an elite team of automotive specialists and has installed all the equipment needed to successfully deal with the technology-laden vehicles that roll down our roads today. This team continually receives training and updates to keep them on top of emerging vehicle design and manufacturing trends for all makes and models.

So it was a natural progression for CARSTAR Kanata to offer a full menu of maintenance and mechanical repair services for those car owners seeking an affordable and reliable service provider without having the need for a collision repair service. Now Yvon’s customers can get just about any required service from a quick and thorough oil change to a brake-system overhaul to an airconditioning recharge and so much more without having to deal multiple shops and long waits for appointments. The nation-wide resources of CARSTAR have made a lot of this possible and the end result is a growth in repeat business. “We are impressed

by CARSTAR’s extensive guidance and impeccable training programs,” says Yvon. “Our ultimate goal has always been to provide an unsurpassed customer service experience and we will continue to do that as part of the CARSTAR network. We want every one of our customers to remain a lifetime customer.”

Teen band reaching for the stars this Christmas Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts – Six Ottawa-area teens looked born to be on stage as they performed for a packed studio on Sunday, Dec. 15 during their firstever video release party.

The co-ed teen band Reach formed about 18 months ago after the young musicians all took part in a summer ‘Rock Star Camp’ run by Fat Dog Productions at their studio off West Hunt Club Road.

While some of the band members

attended separate camp sessions, they all came together that September for a weekend rock star school, which studio owner Chad Nesrallah had formed after watching great bands break up time and again when camp ended.

“We thought, ‘What would happen if we just kept going?’” Nesrallah said. “We’ve been kind of holding out for bands that are going to stick together ... (and) these guys were very serious when they came in.”

The five-person band – plus original member Jessica Burnside, who

came back to sing during the video release party – hails mostly from Canterbury High School, and has big dreams.

Their romantic Christmas ballad, Watch the Stars With Me, was written last Christmas but it was too late to market over the extended holiday season.

This year, it has been released on iTunes and the band hopes the video released on Dec. 15 will be a catalyst to help them break through the white noise of the music industry.

“It would be cool to get signed to a

label,” said Canterbury High School guitarist Jack Johnson.

“We’re going to try to guide them through the maze, if that’s what they want to do,” added Nesrallah, who acts as the band’s director. “There has to be a new hit song next week, so why not (Reach)?”

Singer Jessica Bianconi, a Grade 9 student at Canterbury High School, said the band has about nine original songs and wants to eventually record an album.

“We’ve played a lot of venues to see how the audience responds to us

and we haven’t really had a negative experience yet,” she added.

On Dec. 15 the group performed an hour-long set that included several upbeat originals as well as covers of songs by Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson and Foster the People.

At the end of the set, Nesrallah introduced the video for Watch the Stars With Me, to wild applause from the audience of friends and family gathered in the studio.

Thai chicken dinner for two better than take out Lifestyle - This mildly spicy dinner is super easy and much more economical than take out. Serve with rice. Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves two.

INGREDIENTS

•15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • Six boneless skinless chicken thighs or two boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks • Pinch each salt and pepper •Half small onion, thinly sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) Thai red curry paste • 1 can (400 mL) light coconut milk • 1 lime • 10 ml (2 tsp) fish sauce • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) granulated sugar •1 Sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 centimetre (1/2-inch) pieces • 250 ml (1 cup) sliced mushrooms • Chopped fresh coriander PREPARATION

oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until it’s golden all over – about five minutes.

Remove and set aside.

Add the onion, garlic and more oil to pan if necessary and cook, stirring frequently, until it’s slightly softened, about three minutes.

Add the curry paste and stir until the mixture is fragrant -- about 30 seconds.

Add the coconut milk to the pan.

Remove a couple of wide strips of peel from the lime and add to the pan along with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of lime juice. Add the fish sauce and sugar, and bring to a boil.

Return the chicken to the pan along with the sweet potato and mushrooms.

Stir, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced, about 15 minutes.

Stir in another 15 ml (1 tbsp) lime juice. Sprinkle with coriander.

In a large wide saucepan, heat the

2014 Walk for Memories aims to be biggest yet Event to take place on Jan. 26 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The 2014 Walk for Memories in support of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County aims to be the biggest and best one yet.

With the number of participants hovering around the 600-person

mark in 2013, not to mention just over $260,000 raised in funds for the society, the organizing committee is hoping the event draws even higher numbers.

“We just keep setting our sights a little higher,” said Tracey Pagé, who has been on the committee since the beginning of the event in 1996. The Manotick-born woman was instrumental in creating the Walk for Memories, which has steadily grown over the years.

That first walk raised $22,000 and saw 175 participants.

The goal for the 2014 walk is

to have more than 600 people participate either in teams or individually and raise $275,000 for the Alzheimer Society.

“What these funds do is they support people in the community who are living with dementia,” she said.

The funds also help provide for caregivers.

“It stays in the community for support, education and resources,” said Pagé. “Anyone who’s had a family member with dementia, they know there’s a lot of care required.”

FAMILY FUN

The 2014 Walk for Memories will take place on Sunday, Jan. 26, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Carleton University Fieldhouse. The event is held annually on the last Sunday in January at the conclusion of Alzheimer Awareness Month.

“It’s fun for the whole family,” said Pagé. “It’s got that unique element. You can give a little bit back with some exercise and some fun.”

Last year’s walk saw around 60 teams participate, many decked out in team costumes or colour-co-

R0012473975_1219

ordinated outfits. Ages ranged from infants to grandparents, said Pagé.

There are lanes for all speeds, she added, so wheelchairs and strollers are more than welcome.

Participants who raise $100 or more will also receive a free Tshirt.

The event will also boast a number of new features, including a youth-led activity centre.

“We wanted to have an activity centre run by the youth and driven by the youth,” said Pagé. “It’ll be educational and an activity at the same time so there’s something other than walking.”

A memory board and slideshow will also be set up during the walk.

Attendees are invited to submit a photo by email of who they’re walking for ahead of time, or they can post a photo or phrase on the message board the day of the event.

“We like to see people’s faces lighting up when they see their family member’s pictures of who they’re walking for,” said Pagé.

The Sons of Scotland pipe band will lead the first lap around the track, and Ozone and Free Association will provide live musical entertainment.

“It’s a premiere indoor fundraising walk,” said Pagé. “If in January you’re looking to get out and get some exercise for a good cause, you’ll have fun and everybody wins out in the end.”

Pagé is an accountant with Collins Barrow Ottawa LLP in Bells Corners, one of the main sponsors of the event every year.

“We want to be behind the Alzheimer’s society, where we can contribute most,” she said. “We see the good that the Alzheimer Society does with the dollars they have.

We’ve gotten to know these people; we’ve gotten to know the participants and that’s important to us.

And we enjoy it too.

Every year a number of employees and retired accountants volunteer their time to help co-ordinate the walk, said Pagé.

Grade 10 Osgoode Township High School students Thomas Perry and Kyle Fischer cheer for the school’s hockey team as they faced off against a group of former students who came back for the annual alumni hockey game on Dec. 17. Dozens of students bought out of class to watch the game at the Larry Robinson arena, with proceeds going to the school’s athletic department for a new scoreboard. The alumni players graduated in the early 2000s. They won the game 14-11.

Alumni still got it

Christmas concert was memorable for many reasons

T

he Christmas concerts at the Northcote School usually went off without a hitch – Miss Crosby saw to that.

For the entire month of December, we had rehearsals every day after school. Never could we miss even a minute of our studies. Oh no, not with Miss Crosby. That meant it was getting dark by the time we walked the five-and-a-half kilometre trek back home.

Every last pupil had to take part. It didn’t matter if you had a voice like a crow, you sang in the choir. If you were so shy you couldn’t say your name out loud, you had a part in the Nativity scene anyway.

The program for the concert rarely varied. The parents who crowded into the Northcote School to see their children perform could count on a repeat performance of the

an angel. After she had complained loud and long that she was tired of being a sheep, Miss Crosby had let her wear a handmade silver halo like Velma and me in order to keep the peace among the students. My sister Audrey was again the Virgin Mary, which didn’t please Cora one bit.

Finally, the parents were crammed into the school, the old stove was belting out the heat, you couldn’t see out the windows for the steam off bodies, and the bad smell of overshoes and gum rubbers hung in the room like a cloud.

The first thing that happened to put a damper on the concert was when big Emma grabbed a hold of the makeshift curtain (just a group of flour bag sheets hung on chicken wire to separate the performers from the audience) to stop herself from falling, and the entire stage-curtain came down like a cloud wafting from the sky. Someone got a ladder from the cloak room, and it was hammered back up and the concert was ready to begin.

Miss Crosby got us through the singing numbers, and what passed for a pantomime,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories home each year, and the coloured paper stars each pupil made.

Of course, there was no piano in the school, so that year Miss Crosby had ThreeMile Herman’s parents bring in their crank-up Victrola, (I think it was the only Victrola in the Northcote area) and from someone else she scrounged a record of Silent Night. The appropriate time was when the Nativity scene was coming to a close, and just before Santa was to burst through the back door.

Marguirite, as usual, was

year before.

That is, all except that one year when everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

We had rehearsed until we knew our lines backwards and forwards. We pupils were to be at the school early, with our parents arriving in time for the concert. Well, as soon as we got to school, there was trouble brewing. First of all, the mice had eaten all the popcorn balls off the Christmas tree on Friday night, so all that was left for decoration was the wisps of silver tinsel Miss Crosby brought from

a loop. He careened into the classroom, and immediately sat right on the knee of the first woman in the back row.

She let out a war-whoop and with a mighty shove, pushed him to the floor, where it took three strapping men to right him. It was obvious to everyone that Santa had been into something stronger than green tea. By this time the heat in the crowded little one-room school house was bouncing off the walls.

Uncle Alec, my father and a couple other men got Santa into a chair at the back of the room, and within minutes he was sound asleep and snoring loud enough to wake the dead. Someone drove Santa home in his own cutter, and the talk around Northcote for weeks on end was about all the excitement at the school that cold winter’s night. My brother Emerson and Cecil said it was the best Christmas concert ever held at the Northcote school.

and the Nativity scene was about to begin. Someone turned down the oil lamps on cue, and Three-Mile Herman got the nod from Miss Crosby to start cranking the Victrola. Somehow, someone brought the wrong record, and we were listening to a high screechy voice belting out a song from the First World War. Three-Mile Herman never missed a beat, and kept turning the handle on the side of the Victrola and we continued on with the Nativity scene as if that was the music we had rehearsed with all along, even though none of us, except Three-Mile Herman had ever heard the record before.

The concert finally came to a close, and after thunderous applause from the parents, the entire school room of 18 pupils, sat on the floor at the front to await Santa Claus, who was supposedly standing out in the cold waiting to be let in.

Uncle Alec Thom got up and went to the door, and Santa in all his glory flew in, ringing a set of bells on a piece of rein, exactly like our horse King wore, and just about knocked Uncle Alec for
