Ghamari addresses wide range of local healthcare topics at public forum PC Candidate’s next ‘Carleton Conversations’ meeting to discuss small business on Thurs., Feb. 1

By Jeff Morris Messenger Editor Local residents got a chance to speak their mind as Carleton Progressive Conservative candidate Goldie Ghamari hosted a public forum on the province’s health care situation and how it affects the community.

The meeting, which was held at the Manotick Legion, was part of a series of Carleton Conversations meetings Ghamari is holding throughout the Carleton riding.

“I really appreciate how so many people took the time to come out and ask questions and provide feedback,” said Ghamari. “I took 10 pages of notes, and there were a lot of great questions asked and there was some great feedback provided.”

Topics ranged from mismanagement of the current health system, to challenges facing rural communities, seniors and youth, to mental health issues. The meeting was moderated by former Rideau Township Mayor and former Ottawa city councillor Glenn Brooks.

Long time Manotick lawyer Rich Wilson was among the first to speak at the meeting, as he addressed the need for

change in the health system.

“The existing system is well represented with lobbyists and people who don’t want change,” he said. “Many of these people fight change and will not let it happen. If you try to change things, and you open the door, you will be kicked in the teeth by very powerful people.”

Ghamari added to Wilson’s point, saying that the $8 billion “wasted with e-health” could have been better used and allocated in different ways.

“There seems to be a lot of waste and mismanagement in the system,” she said. “We have to go in and re-evaluate where that money is being spent.”

Allan Haan of Manotick suggested that part of the responsibility falls on the people not to misuse the system.

“Being a communityminded person, I think that we have an increased obligation to take care of ourselves first,” he said.

“If you have a cold, you know that you need rest and fluids. But if you just have a cold and you go to the doctor, they take your health card and ching.”

Mental health is an issue affecting people of all ages. For the youth in

the rural communities in South Carleton, finding help is not as easy as it seems.

“We see mental health challenges in rural communities, but access for youth to get help in these areas is less than zero,” said Nicole McKerracher, the Executive Director of the Osgoode Youth Association. “In theory, there is help available. But it is next to impossible for our youth to access this help.

It’s not like you can hop on an OC Transpo bus out here to get to someone who can give them help.”

Another hot topic was the situation with the dif-

ficulties in finding personal service workers in Ontario.

“It’s a numbers issue,” said Leeanne VandenBurgt of Rural Ottawa South Support Services.

“Hiring and retaining are the problems. We can’t hire enough workers, and we can’t retain the ones we hire. Across the board, we aren’t getting the applicants we need.”

The next public forum in Ghamari’s Carleton Conversations series will be on small business. It will take place Thurs., Feb. 1 from 7:30 – 9 a.m. at the Amberwood Lounge and Eatery in Stittsville.

Former Rideau-Goulbourn Ward Councillor Glenn Brooks was the moderator for the forum on healthcare hosted by Carleton Progressive Conservative candidate Goldie Ghamari, seated.

South Carleton High School impacted by new school announcement

By Jeff Morris Messenger Editor The announcement of a new west end secondary school will significantly impact enrollment at South Carleton High School.

Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Chiarelli was at Stittsville Public School Friday to announce that the province is investing over $37 million in a new secondary school that will accommodate 1,353 students in Stittsville.

The new school is part of a $784 million provincial investment that will see 39 new schools built and another 40 existing schools receiving major renovations or additions.

A new Stittsville high school was the top priority for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board on its list of growth area

needs. Stittsville has a Catholic high school – Sacred Heart – but many of the community’s public board students are bused to South Carleton.

“We were very happy with the announcement,” said local OCDSB trustee Lyn Scott.

The new school has a projected opening of 2021.

“There are a lot of consultations and a lot of things to look at and figure out before then,” Scott said.

One of the possibilities is that South Carleton would become a Grade 7-12 school rather than being a just a secondary school. Enrolment at the school this year is 1,042 students, which is at 77.5 per cent.

OCDSB projections would have had SCHS at 91.7 per cent by 2021.

Stittsville students are not the only outof-area high schoolers being bused to South Carleton.

Riverside South public board students have the option of being bused to either South Carleton or Merivale, while students in Barrhaven’s Half Moon Bay community also have the option of choosing South Carleton. A new public high school for Riverside South is also high on the board’s priority list. Because Stittsville and Riverside South have Catholic high schools but no public high school, many students are transitioning to the Catholic board.

“They are not necessarily changing

High School will certainly be able to handle more students with the growth.

“The bottom line is that the southwest part of the city now has two high schools to serve the area instead of one, and that is positive news for everyone here.”

“Most are changing boards because they want to go to a school in their community.”

While the addition of the Stittsville school will take students out of South Carleton, it will also create more room at the school for future growth. The city has targeted village development for Manotick, Richmond and Greely. Both Manotick and Richmond are served by South Carleton High School.

“There are plans for 2,000 residential units in Richmond in the future, and Manotick’s Mahogany development is scheduled for a lot of growth,” said Scott. “South Carleton

Rideau-GoulbournREPORT

Friday, January 26, 2018 Page 5

Two zoning by-law amendments on agenda for next ARAC meeting The first few months of 2018 promise to feature busy agendas for the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, including many items that affect our Rideau-Goulbourn ward. The first meeting of the year is coming up on Thursday, February 1st at our usual time of 10:00am and our usual location of Ben Franklin Place. Agenda items for this meeting include: • Zoning By-Law Amendments • 2403 Huntley Road • 4534 Loggers Way • 5130/5208 Ramsayville Road • 4139 Moodie Drive • 2026 William Hodgins Lane • Manotick AreaSpecific Development Charges • Cassidy Municipal Drain Improvements The two local zoning by-law amendments are 2403 Huntley Road and 4139 Moodie Drive.

2403 Huntley Road is a property on the northeast corner of Huntley and Fallowfield Road, directly across from Karter’s Korner. 4139 Moodie Drive is halfway between Barnsdale Road and Brophy Drive and adjacent to the proposed Alottawata Water Park.

The 2403 Huntley Road application seeks to rezone the property from Rural Countryside to Rural Commercial in order to increase the commercial uses on the property. However, the

uses will be limited to amusement centre, artist studio, convenience store, office, personal service and retail store.

During consultation with residents along Kimini Drive, the use of gas station was raised as a concern and will continue to be prohibited on this property.

The applicant on 4139 Moodie Drive is Proslide Technologies, also the proponent for Alottawata. This application seeks to permit ‘research and development centre’ as well as ‘office’ as permitted uses on the property.

The intent is to build an R & D centre and office building to support the water park project.

The neighbouring property, 4221 Moodie Drive, is already zoned for a water park. The proposed facility will facilitate the design and testing of new water rides and emerging technologies.

The report on Manotick Area-Specific Development Charges just cleans up something that was missed when the charges report was approved a few years ago.

Unfortunately, two development areas were not included at that time. The affected

KEEP CALM

addresses are 1086 Antochi Lane and 5721, 5731, 5741 Manotick Main Street. The approval of this report will ensure that development on these properties is charged the appropriate amount regarding connection to the existing water supply and sanitary service.

Full reports on all of the above items are available online at Ottawa.ca.

Barnsdale Road & Prince of Wales Drive

In a recent column, I announced plans for a roundabout at the intersection of Barnsdale Road & Prince of Wales Drive. An open house has now been scheduled to discuss this project and the proposed design.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to start in 2019 and is subject to change depending on availability of funding. At this open house, you will be able to: • Review plans displaying the recommended design; • Identify potential issues that may have not been addressed; and, • Provide comments on the recommended design.

The open house is scheduled for Thursday, February 15th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm and will be held at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority building at 3889 Rideau Valley Drive.

For more information, please visit www. rideaugoulbourn.ca/ barnsdaleroundabout.

Any comments may be sent to Kunjan Ghimire via email at Kunjan.Ghimire@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2424, ext. 21685. Comment on this open house should be submitted by Tuesday, February 20, 2018.

Planning Advisory Committee

The City is establishing a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). The mandate of the PAC is to advise on the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department’s policy priorities and its annual work plan and may also include other matters as they arise.

Several positions are available including two members from the rural area of Ottawa. They will join counterparts from the urban and suburban areas as well as specialists in the fields of architecture, planning and landscape architecture.

The PAC will also include the Chairs of Planning Committee, Built Heritage Sub-Committee and the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee, which happens to be me. Members of the Planning Advisory Committee will be required to prepare for and attend meetings. It is anticipated that the PAC will meet twice per year.

For more informa-

tion on eligibility, roles and responsibilities and the application process, please visit ottawa.ca/ volunteer or contact Eric Pelot at 613-5802424, ext. 22953 (TTY: 613-580-2401) or by email at committees@ ottawa.ca.

Winter Carnivals

No matter which part of Rideau-Goulbourn you live in, you are never too far away from a winter carnival. Shiverfest takes place in Manotick on Friday and Saturday, January 26th and 27th and features a number of events including chili cookoff, curling, bingo and trivia. On the other side of the ward, the Munster Winter Carnival takes place on the same weekend.

Munster will also feature a number of events aimed at families taking place at the Community Centre and Munster Elementary School. To learn more about these events, please visit our Rideau-Goulbourn website’s Events page.

The following weekend, North Gower will host its 56th Winter Carnival at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre. You can come out on Friday, February 2nd for the Kemptville Players Murder Mystery dinner theatre and then come back on Saturday for a full schedule including a pancake breakfast, bake sale, snowmobile rally, buffet dinner and talent show. Informa-

tion on this will also be available on our events page.

Isle in the River Theatre Company

This year, ITR is going to do something a little different for Valentine’s Day. They will be holding an Afternoon Tea at Vibration Studios (5488 Osgoode Main St.) on February 10th and 17th.

ITR has selected Norm Foster’s two act play Wrong for Each Other to entertain you.

“A chance meeting in a restaurant, after four years apart, sends a couple flashing back through the highs and lows of their courtship and marriage. It is a hilarious and often heartbreaking look at the rollercoaster ride of a relationship.”

Tickets are $28 per person (includes the afternoon tea) and are now on sale at www. itrtheatre.com or by calling 613-800-1165.

There are only 50 tickets available per show.

As always for IRT’s Valentine’s shows, proceeds will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa. ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Heart failure to blame as community mourns passing of future RCMP officer

By Jeff Morris Messenger Editor There is still no explanation and there are no answers in the tragic death of a local 23-yearold youth goalie coach and former junior hockey player.

Brandon Lowry passed away on Dec. 23 in the Byward Market. Though it was originally reported that Lowry died after falling down a set of stairs, his mother, Brigitte Dionne, has clarified that the cause of his death was from a heart condition.

“He had gone downtown to join some friends,” she said. “They had ordered some nachos, and he told one of his friends he wasn’t feeling well. He had only been there about 15 minutes. He got up to go to outside for some fresh air, and he collapsed. He had

a heart condition, and his heart just stopped.”

Passers by tried to administer CPR, but their attempts at saving the young man failed.

The news was devastating for Lowry’s family and his large circle of friends. A former Nepean Raiders prospect and a graduate of École Secondaire Franco-Cité, Lowry had played Junior B hockey for three seasons with the Winchester Hawks. He was best known for being one of the few goalies to ever score a goal in the league, as he netted a goal against the Ottawa Jr. Canadians.

The Hawks issued a statement expressing their condolences, saying that Lowry had been a big part of the Hawks’ family for three years.

He had been coaching young goaltenders in the area, and he had studied

at Carleton University.

“He was such a wonderful kid,” his mother said. “The kids that he coached loved him, and they were heartbroken.”

Lowry also had a bright future.

“He was about to apply to become an RCMP officer,” she said.

Lowry was born in Yellowknife and, accord-

ing to his family, was very proud of being from the Northwest Territories. He had images of the NWT on some of his goalie masks, and he had a tattoo on his shoulder of a wolf with the northern lights.

According to his mom, Brandon was humble and did not like to have his

picture taken. He wanted the spotlight to be on those around him.

“Playing goal on a team was something special for him and loved it,” said Al McCambridge. “Brandon was a very humble boy and did not like getting the attention from when he played stellar

games. He would walk quickly from the dressing room, head down to the car as the mom and dads congratulated him and cheered him.”

Funeral services were held earlier this month at Capital Gardens on Prince of Wales Drive north of Manotick.

Will Groundhog Day without Wiarton Willie ever be the same?

ton Willie. A crowd turns out for the ceremony in Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park, the first of several such events across the country. In Wiarton there are outdoor and indoor stages; a large tent where the town showcases talent and holds events. The Festival includes a winter carnival, ice carving, a food expo and kids events.

You may have heard that Wiarton Willie died in September 2017. A memorial service was held for Willie; there were just under 200 people in Bluewater Park including a town crier, the Wiarton mayor, MP, MPP, the daughter of the man (Mac MacKenzie) who started the annual

prognostication festival, the Wiarton Fair Queen and a CTV news reporter from Barrie. Willie’s ashes were laid to rest in the former Wiarton train station where lots of people signed a book of condolences, Is there or will there be a replacement for “Willie”?

Early settlers hoped for signs of an early spring so they could begin planting and shorten the time to harvest, especially with winter provisions dwindling. What settlers did not realize was that the groundhog sleeps later than the European hedgehog and is less likely to stir even on warm winter days. By February 2, the worst of winter’s weather is usually over in Western Europe, but Canadian winters are generally longer, with much more cold and snow yet to come.

In early February, the openings to groundhog burrows are usually bur-

ied under deep layers of snow and ice.

There is some truth to the shadow aspect of the legend. Sunny days in winter are generally associated with colder, drier arctic air and cloudy days with

milder, moist maritime air. Given the tendency for weather conditions to persist for several days before changing, the weather on any February 2 may continue for a few days, but not necessarily any longer. Since seasons

tend to follow a pattern, 6 more weeks of winter, rather than an early spring, is a statistically better option in Canada.

We can hope for a cloudy February 2nd, we don’t want the groundhog to be frightened.

If it is a sunny day and the groundhog sees its shadow, according to folklore it becomes frightened and returns to its hole to sleep, and winter continues for 6 more weeks. If it does not see its shadow, it remains outside because the worst of winter is over and warmer weather is on its way.

Canada’s two furry forecasters hopefully bring good news to winter-weary Canadians on Groundhog Day: Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam and Ontario’s Wiar-

First walkability survey of village core sites areas for improvement The first in a series of walkability surveys took place in the Village Core on January 10. A small group of local residents walked the sidewalks to assess how accessible they were for people of all ages.

They found a few areas that require improvement, such as snow removal along Dickinson Street and Currier Street into the Mews. The survey follows a format developed by the Council on Aging and looks at safety of the intersections and sidewalks, accessibility to ensure that people of all abilities are able to move freely, convenience and connectedness (directness of paths between homes, public transit and services) and comfort and attractiveness (I.e. benches, garbage cans, trees). A report will be created and submitted to the City for consideration. Future surveys are planned in the spring and summer. Thank you to those who volunteered to participate.

Residents encouraged to attend Richmond Village Association AGM Feb. 7 The Richmond Hub By the Richmond Village Association The Richmond Village Association Inc. invites everybody to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the association.

It takes place Wednesday, February 7th, at the Richmond Community Centre (upstairs over the arena) with doors opening at 8:00 p.m for coffee. Meeting begins at 8:30.

David Proulx, President of the RVA encourages community members to attend.

“The year ahead celebrating Richmond’s 200th is a unique opportunity for our community. As shareholders in the community this is a great opportunity for residents to get involved and help, not only with the planned celebrations, but with shaping our community beyond 2018. Our 2018 experience will without a doubt provide important new incentives and challenges going forward.”

There are lots of AGMs this time of year for corporations of all types.

They are notorious for being poorly attended.

“Shareholders”, in this case community members, are often under the mistaken belief that their contribution wouldn’t change or add anything anyway. Or, they may believe that the existing Board is doing a great job and there is no need to be involved in decisions taken at the AGM. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In the case of

the RVA the entire Board retires at this meeting and a new Board must be elected by the “shareholders” from those persons who are nominated or stand for election. This is essential under the current bylaws of the RVA. The presence and contribution of the RVA within the community has grown tremendously over the past five years thanks to the generous support of volunteers and sponsors from the business community. Community input and involvement is needed more than ever before.

Indeed this column and our website, RichmondHUB.ca, is one of the most recent endeavours of the RVA. As well, Richmond200, the group of dedicated volunteers and community organizations planning and enabling Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations operate under the RVA corporate umbrella. In a similar fashion, the Gateway to Groceries program a partnership with Rural Ottawa South Support Services, the Youth Drop-In Centre and the Richmond Walking Club all rely on volunteers and funding managed by the Board. Advocacy on behalf of the community, ownership and maintenance of the Heritage Mural Gallery on the arena walls, Richmond’s Great Garage Sale, the annual village clean up, children’s winter banners, lighting of the park and the Santa Claus parade wouldn’t happen without

RVA volunteers, a Board managing the funds and other corporate responsibilities.

At the upcoming meeting you are encouraged

by Proulx to “review our work and elect a new Board of Directors to guide the Association.

Interested candidates are invited to attend and run for a position on the next Board.” This is also your opportunity to “learn how you can make a difference as a volunteer … you don’t have to join the Board to be involved! Volunteers are needed across the full spectrum of activities we support. Volunteering can be a very rewarding way to meet new people and give something back to the community at the same time.”

So, come find out how you and your family can participate in Richmond’s 200th Birthday Celebration. Ask lots of questions, and if you feel like volunteering and putting your stamp on the community you can be sure you will be warmly welcomed.

David Proulx’s final words “I look forward to seeing you there!”

Scotiabank supports Richmond’s 200th anniversary

The Village of Richmond got some help with its 200th anniversary celebration last week as Scotiabank donated $5,000 to the Richmond 200th Anniversary Organizing Committee.

volunteered to sell 50 tickets for the recently held Richmond 200th Anniversary New Year’s Eve Gala, helping the event become a sell-out.

Richmond 200th anniversary facts

To honour Richmond’s 200th anniversary, local historian Marion Scott will be posting factoids about Richmond’s rich history on her blog, Richmond Heritage. Over the next year you should expect to see 200 pieces of information that you may or may not have already known. Marion’s facts are posted at RichmondHub.ca and on her blog

at RichmondHeritage.ca.

Here are two of her factoids.

In 1818, fearful of an American invasion, the British government decided to settle disbanded soldiers in the area between Perth and the Ottawa River and establish a depot at a new centre called Richmond. From there administrators would oversee the settlement of Goulbourn, Huntley, and March Townships as well as parts of Beckwith and Nepean.

The whole area was referred to as the Richmond Military Settlement.

Old maps of the area show that Richmond’s

river was originally called “Jacques” supposedly after a French Canadian of that name who drowned in its waters. After the village was named Richmond in honor of the Duke of Richmond (who had just been appointed Governor-General and died close to the banks of the river), the name was changed to “Goodwood” as that was the name of his English estate. Locals continued to use the original name and over time the spelling was anglicized to “Jock”. Flooding was always a problem as the village was low lying, swampy, and crossed by at least 3 creeks.

Richmond Fair accepting entries for annual quilting contest It’s that time again when we remind all area quilters to think about entering their work in the 174th Richmond Fair. It seems along way off as we start to prepare for the warmer weather, however quilters need lots

of lead time to get those creations finished in time to register them by September 7 and bring them in on September 10. The Fair is September 13-16.

There are many different sections to enter including one for young quilters

and those making modern style quilts.

The prize list with all the sections listed will be available at www. richmondfair.ca in the next few months and the entry forms for the fair are on the website. Entry

forms must be completed and sent to the fair office before September 7. The quilt list form is also found on the website, to be completed and brought with the quilts on the evening of September 10 to the Richmond Curl-

ing club at 7pm.

Prize sponsors this year include the Country Quilter, Richmond; Mad About Patchwork, Stittsville; The PickleDish, Carleton Place; The Running Stitch, Kanata; Sue’s Quilting Quarters, Al-

monte; Textile Traditions, Almonte; Joni Newman, Quirks and Quilts; Kanata Quilt Guild; Balance Chiropractic and Massage; Sarah Jane Smiley, Heritage Art Longarm Quilting services; Pauline Clark, 3Dogs Quilting.

Family says thanks to Manotick Fire Department for saving their home A Manotick family is saying thank you to the Manotick Fire Department for saving their home from a blaze just before Christmas.

Ken Schlegel and Lee Anne Hamilton were in their River Road home when an electrical problem caused a fire in their basement ceiling.

“Our smoke alarms sounded at 9 am,” said Schlegel. “We rounded up elderly, sleeping par-

ents, in pyjamas, who were hustled outdoors to a cold car without eye glasses or hearing aids. Our fire fighters arrived and they were able to prevent the fire from spreading completely throughout our log home.”

In addition to putting out the fire, the local firefighters moved a huge china cabinet out of harms way without breaking any dishes or

its delicate contents.

They also went into the burning house and found the missing glasses and hearing aids.

“We want our community to know that we have an excellent firefighting team and that we can all feel very proud of the work they have done and will continue to do everyday to keep us all safe when fire threatens,” said Schlegel.

Caring with Excellence Ken Schlegel said that the Manotick Fire Department deserves praise after the work they did to save his log home on River Road a week before Christmas.

Ice Storm of 1998 was an unforgettable event for the Osgoode Ward The Ice Storm of 1998 was an unforgettable time for many Ward residents and it is hard to believe 20 years has already gone by. This past weekend in Vernon, Kim Sheldrick pulled together a walk down memory lane in the Community Centre with old newspaper clippings and poster boards displaying the destruction of the storm, with volunteers who came together to help one another out.

There was also a vendor craft sale, chili night, and Sunday breakfast to name a few other activities that took place to commemorate the Ice Storm of 1998.

OTHS Careers/Civics Class

I was proud to be invited to speak to a grade 10 Careers/Civics class. We discussed Municipal level politics and what it entails, talked about the Osgoode Ward itself and where it fits in with the City of Ottawa. The presentation surprised many of the students with facts that they did not know about Osgoode Ward. I encouraged them to ask me anything during out Question and Answer portion of my visit, where the students were able to learn even more about civic engagement. One of my favorite questions was how I came to settle in Canada and be their City Councillor. This gave me an opportunity to encourage the youth to volunteer, give back and get involved right now to

better their community, jobs, and future. The presentation and discussion were very well received and I look forward to future visits for other classes as well. Knowledge is power!

Open Door

I held my second Open Door of 2018 at the Ward office. It was an extremely busy and productive day!

Constable Megan Artbuthnot, the community police officer for the Ward, stopped in to discuss traffic, safety, and to check in on any concerns we have in the Ward. Greely Community Association (GCA), Vernon Community Association (VCA), and Osgoode Village Community Association (OVCA) presidents all dropped by coincidentally and it turned into a shared impromptu meeting of community issues and upcoming events. Great way for them all to meet in person and under one roof! Stop by next Tuesday between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm for my Open Door.

Osgoode Village Monthly Luncheon

all the trimming for locals to enjoy. The team of volunteers that the Thurlow’s have show true community spirit, helping where they can. These drop-in $5 luncheons are a great way to socialize and get out of the house, especially with the long winter season where these luncheons are the big excitement for the

week! Well done everyone and I look forward to the next one on February 21st at the Osgoode Legion.

Appreciation Drop-In for Scrivens Depot Road Crews

I’m always happy to spend some time with the road crews who look after our Ward, especially

during the long winter months. Sharing coffee and spending time with both the night and day crews gives me an opportunity to put faces to names, share a laugh or two and let them know how much they are appreciated for their long shifts, often in difficult weather conditions. It was very im-

portant to hear what concerns they have been finding while out on the roads.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Tim Dozois, Area Manager for Roads, and Jeff Holmes, Zone Supervisor, for allowing me to join them at Scrivens Depot and catch up with staff. Awesome work everyone!

Manotick business community celebrates a great year at 2018 BIA AGM Last year may have been one for the ages in Canada, but 2017 was also a year to remember in Manotick.

“One of the things that made 2017 great was the increase in participation of our businesses in events in the village,” said Manotick BIA Chair Salima Ismail. “Our businesses were more engaged this year, and it made a difference.”

While the BIA has a mandate of promoting business in the village, they were also blessed with great weather for many of their events this year. Mother Nature cooperated with Dickinson Days, A Taste of Manotick, Women’s Day and the Olde Fashioned Christmas weekend.

“These events are intended to showcase Manotick, not only to the residents of the village, but to residents as well,” said Manotick BIA Executive Director Donna Smith.

“Many people saw things they liked in Manotick and they came back.

That’s what we want to accomplish with these events.”

In addition to those events, a new twist for the year filled the BIA’s calendar for five months. Past Chair Michael Mirsky put forth the idea last year of having the “150 Days of Manotick” as part of Canada’s 150th anniversary celebration. Many local businesses participated, giving the public something to do involving an activity or a local business for 150 straight days.

“The calendar was full, and it was a huge success,” said Smith.

Manotick Messenger Publisher and BIA board of directors member Jeff Morris offered praise for the year that the BIA had.

“I don’t think anyone would disagree that this was the best year ever for the Manotick BIA,” Morris said. “Salima and Donna and the different committees deserve a lot of credit for the work they have done this year, and the 150 Days of Manotick was a big part of that success.”

One area of promotion which was new to the BIA was in local sports tourism. The Ottawa Carleton Ulimate Club hosted the Canadian Ultimate

Activities/Interests: “I worked alongside Youth Ottawa to make a video about breaking various forms of prejudice in

modern Canada, in collaboration with Maggie, Robin, Shelina and many other students in Mr. Paron’s grade 10 Civics and Careers class. We later went to the Youth Ottawa Showcase where we showed the video.

I’ve been involved in the Cultural Awareness Club, Peer Helpers, and Key Club, as well as working alongside Janice O’Neil in creating the Manga/ Anime Club.

I’m part the Debate Team and club at St. Mark, which I am especially passionate about.

I have followed politics from a young age. In the last election I worked alongside Chris Rogers, the Liberal candidate for the Carleton riding, while also canvasing with Mauril Belanger. Recently, I’ve been volunteering at the Osgoode Youth Association.

I love experimenting with technology and learning new software and programs. When it comes to the sciences, I have a particular love for chemistry. I have a passion for photography,

Manotick Miler and Barrhaven Run for Roger Neilson House announce merger May 6 event to create unique experience for participants and raise funds for Roger Neilson House The Ottawa Senators Foundation has announced a merger between the Barrhaven Run for Roger Neilson House and the annual Manotick Miler.

Both events, held each spring, raise significant funds for important causes in our community. Barrhaven Run’s strong family and fundraising culture combined with the Manotick Miler’s growing participant base will create an improved experience for all participants while aiming to increase the awareness and funds raised for Roger Neilson House.

The Manotick Miler will be held on Saturday, May 6, on Main Street in Manotick. The race will include new courses and will include 10-mile, 5-mile, 3-mile and 1-mile routes. There will be

a $300 prize for the top make and female finishers in the 10mile run, while prizes to be announced will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in the five and three mile races.

Organizers said that by merging the two runs, more funds can be raised for Roger Neilson House.

Started in 2008 by a small group of Barrhaven business owners, the Barrhaven Run was an annual charity running event held annually in the community of Barrhaven. Roger Neilson House, was selected as the charity of choice and over the past 10 years, the Barrhaven Run for Roger Neilson House raised more than $300,000 for the pediatric palliative care facility.

“We wish to thank all of the organizers and supports of the Barrhaven run. Your support of Roger Neilson House over the past many years has

been tremendous, supporting many children and families at their most vulnerable times.” said Megan Wright, executive director, Roger Neilson House. “We look forward to participating in the Manotick Miler, the support of our community is key to Roger Neilson House being able to provide ongoing services. We count on this support and are very grateful to the business owner and community in both Barrhaven and Manotick.”

The idea of the Barrhaven Run originated during a barbecue and get together with insurance broker John Baizana, realtor Patrick Creppin, and Barrhaven Source for Sports owner Rob Raistrick.

“On behalf of the Barrhaven Run for Roger Neilson House Organizing Committee we are excited to have the team at inStride continue this charity event.” said

John Baizana Cofounder BarrhavenRun.ca. “The tradition of the event will not only continue but be enhanced for the communities of Barrhaven and Manotick.”

InStride Events worked with Greco Lean and Fit owner Sean James to start the Manotick Miler.

“For the past three years we have helped with the logistics of The Barrhaven Run and look forward to the merger.” said Laura Glasper, co-founder and event manager InStride Events “We love what the Barrhaven Run has done for Roger Neilson House and we look forward to continue this through the Manotick Miler.

Two great events coming together for one great cause.”

More than 500 brave frigid temperatures at annual Richmond Run road races

By Jeff Morris More than 500 runners braved the temperatures in the minus-20s with wind chills in the minus30s at the 2018 Richmond Road Race at South Carleton High School.

The event, which took place Sun., Jan. 14, drew many local runners as well as runners from throughout Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.

“Six months ago, we had runs where the temperatures were above 30 degrees and even approaching 40,” said Al McCartney of Run Ottawa. “And here

we are today, with more than a 50-degree difference. You have to really praise the runners for their dedication to overcome the weather.”

Olivia MacCaskill of Kanata, who runs for the Ottawa Lions Club, was the first to cross the finish line. She placed first in the 5km race in 19:51.0. She beat the top male finisher – her father, Ken – by 22.2 seconds. Kayla Jones was third and Britt Halverson was fourth, meaning that three of the top four finishers among the 244 5km runners were female.

As MacCaskill crossed

the finish line, she had frost on her face and eye lids.

“I have never run a race in cold weather like this before,” she said. “Once we got going, you find a rhythm and you stop thinking about it.”

MacCaskill said that although it was her first race in temperatures that extreme, she has run in cold weather before.

“We ran a few times in the cold weather over the Christmas holidays as we were getting ready for this race,” she said.

In the 10km race, Patrick Saunders of Rockland

finished first with a time of 35:52.6. Michael Blois was second, Ralph Werner was third and Scott Henry was fourth. The first female across the finish line was Maureen Mahoney, who finished seventh with a time of 37:55.5. Alexandra Haynes was right behind her with a time of 37:59.3.

Runners and volunteers were able to use the South Carleton High School facilities to stay warm before and after the races.

Olivia MacCaskill was the first to cross the finish line in the 5km run.

DINING OUT

g n i r u Bachelor and bachelorette ideas! t a e F Six reasons to dine out this Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is celebrated in various ways throughout the world. One of the more popular methods of spending time with a romantic partner is over a delicious meal at a nice restaurant.

Statistics Brain says that 34.6 percent of Valentine’s Day celebrants in the United States dine outside of the home, making this day dedicated to couples one of the most popular days to dine out all year.

Dining out on Valentine’s Day helps to make the day more special, and the fol-

lowing are a number of additional reasons why couples should enjoy a meal out on the town this February 14.

1. Embrace the chance to try new foods. Dining out gives individuals the opportunity to try new cuisine they may not attempt at home. This is a chance to expand flavor profiles and give something new a chance.

2. Enjoy creative plating.

Many restaurants expend extra effort on presentation on Valentine’s Day, dressing the plates with special garnish or with a unique presentation of the foods. Valentine’s Day

meals are often as beautiful to look at as they are delicious to eat. Experiencing such visual masterpieces can add to the enjoyment of the night out.

3. Enjoy a night off from cooking. One of the biggest benefits of dining out on Valentine’s Day is enjoying an evening away from the kitchen. Heading out for a restaurant meal means no stressing over what to cook for dinner, no wrangling with ingredients and no postmeal cleanup.

4. Learn something new.

Chefs and restaurants may

pull out all the stops for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. Diners may learn more about exotic foods and wine pairings on Valentine’s Day than they might when dining out on less popular nights.

5. Beat the winter blues.

For much of the country, Valentine’s Day occurs during a time of year when winter is at its most harsh. Wintertime can be isolating as many people spend increased hours indoors to avoid inclement weather. Dining out gives couples the opportunity to get some fresh air and

“IN HOUSE ITEMS MADE FRESH FROM SCRATCH”

dine in a social environment that can help buoy spirits.

6. Jump start other activities. Dining at a restaurant may be the precursor to other things to come on Valentine’s Day. While out, couples may opt to head to a movie, enjoy some local live theater or stroll through a museum gallery. A good meal can make for the perfect starter to a memorable Valentine’s Day. Dining out on Valentine’s Day is a tradition that can benefit couples in various ways and make an already special holiday that much more memorable.
