Orchard View on the Rideau changes its name to Manotick Place Retirement Community The retirement community on Manotick Main Street now has a new name. Orchard View on the Rideau retirement community has rebranded and changed its name to Manotick Place Retirement Community. The name change went into effect Nov. 7. In the coming months, the signage, web presence and collateral materials at the retirement community will change to reflect the new name and logo that have been selected. However, the change of name will not impact the products or services provided at the retirement community in Manotick. Management remains the same, and there will be no disruption to operations or the services provided as a
result of the rebranding. “It is the intention of management to continue operating a premium retirement community in Manotick,” said Manotick Place Executive Director Linda Meek. “The new names and logos are being adopted as a means of strengthening our position in a competitive marketplace and distinguishing our property in the public realm.” Other retirement communities owned by the same parent company have also undergone a name change. Orchard View Living Centre has changed its name to Orchard Walk Retirement Community, and Orchard View Suites has also changed its name and is now officially Garden View Senior Apartments.

Manotick getting ready for Olde Fashioned Christmas and Santa Claus Parade There is a lot going on in the Village of Manotick these days. Hot on the heels of a successful Women’s Day, the BIA is hosting the annual Olde Fashioned Christmas on December 2 and 3, featuring the Santa Claus parade organized by the Manotick Lions Club. And there are lots of Christmas craft fairs with great gift ideas. Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the annual Shiverfest on January 26 and 27 and Chic Time in the Tick on May 4, 2018. Although we have lost four businesses due to the fire on Main Street, the Village has gained new businesses since then. Key housing projects are moving forward, including the Riverwalk development at Main Street and Century Road, the seniors building on Clapp Lane and the Mahogany Development. Work is also progressing on the Mclean Bridge, due for completion by end of November, and the Manotick Arena Expansion, which is slated for completion by January 31, 2018.

Ontario electricity prices set to keep rising
TSN 1200 radio personalities Todd White and Steve Lloyd were on hand at the CHEO Dream Home in Manotick last week as Bell Media held their media day at the home. Tickets for the 2017 CHEO lottery are now sold out.
The Ontario government’s rigorous pursuit of renewables has increased electricity costs far more than necessary. The government recently released an update to its long-term energy plan, projecting that the cost of electricity for homes and businesses will keep rising over the next 20 years. For example, the average monthly electricity bills for residents and large industrial customers in northern Ontario will jump 52 per cent. Ontario’ electricity prices are already the highest in Canada and Jeff Morris photo among the highest in North America. But despite the high prices, the government of Premier Kathleen Wynne recently reaffirmed its commitment to costly solar and wind power, which is distorting market prices at the expense of Ontario’s current and future ratepayers. Ontario’s electricity market is a stark example of what happens when government picks technology ‘winners’ and ‘losers.’ The government chose wind and solar power over cheaper alternatives such as nuclear, hydroelectric or clean coal power. Between November 2016 and October 2017, the rate paid to wind generators ($140 per megawatt hour or MWh, a common unit for measmissioner Jake Gaudaur.

Rideau-GoulbournREPORT
ARAC to make recommendations with rural impact to city for 2018 Budget The upcoming Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) is taking place a couple weeks earlier than normal to review the budget. As a result, the next meeting is on Thursday, November 23rd, which means that you may be reading this column after the meeting has already taken place. As per usual, ARAC meetings begin at 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe. Agenda items include: • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 8089 & 8165 Franktown Road (RideauGoulbourn) • 2018 Draft Operating and Capital Budget • Zoning By-Law Amendment: 7771 Snake Island Road (Osgoode) • Zoning By-Law Amendment: Anomaly – 168 Baillie Avenue and part of 1640, 1641 Bontrey Place • Carp Airport Development: Area-Specific Infrastructure Recovery Charge • Regimbald, Simpson and Wilson-Johnston Municipal Drains: Appointment of Engineer (Cumberland) The big item on the agenda is the 2018 Budget. We will consider the relevant portions of the draft 2018 Operating and Capital Budgets and forward our recommendations
RIDEAUGOULBOURN
WARD REPORT by Councillor Scott Moffatt
to Council for consideration at the December 13th Council meeting. The ARAC budget is relatively small as it merely deals with the rural section of the Planning Department as well as funding some minor portions of the Public Works budget. For the budget presentation at Committee, I have asked that staff also touch on items that impact the rural area but are found in the budgets of other committees, such as Transportation Committee. The 2018 draft budget contains increases to infrastructure renewal across the City that will help begin to bridge the gap between how we are currently funding renewal and how we should be funding renewal. For Rideau-Goulbourn, the 2018 draft budget includes the resurfacing of Rideau Valley Drive South, south of Kars, and microsurfacing on a portion of Fourth Line Road. The portion of Gallagher Road that was upgraded last year will see the final surface added to it in 2018. If
more funds become available following the tender of many renewal projects, roads such as Dwyer Hill Road, Old Richmond Road and Eagleson Road may see microsurfacing as well. The agenda also includes the Carp Airport Development, which was previously listed on the last two ARAC agendas. Due to some minor issues, it was pulled and will now come next Thursday. That report deals with the funding component of extending servicing to this development. The Franktown Road application, which was deferred from the November 2nd ARAC meeting, is a new development in Goulbourn. It is a 19-lot development adjacent to the existing Heron Lake Estates community and the Riverbend Golf Course. The item on Bontrey Place, in Kars, updates the floodplain lines on those properties following a review of floodplain mapping by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. For more information on this agenda, please visit Ottawa.ca or sign up for our e-Newsletter at RideauGoulbourn.ca.
Power South Nepean Community Information Session Demand
for
electri-
city in the South Nepean area has almost doubled since 2002. Over the next twenty years, electricity needs in this community are expected to more than double once again due to the pace of planned residential and commercial developments. To ensure South Nepean has the power to grow, Hydro Ottawa Limited (Hydro Ottawa) and Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) have started planning for new electricity facilities to serve your community’s growing needs. Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One are proposing to construct a new municipal transformer station (MTS) in South Nepean and to rebuild an existing single circuit 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line to a new double circuit line with 230 kV capacity. The rebuilt line would connect the new MTS to an existing 230 kV line south of West Hunt Club Road. This existing line connects to the Manotick station, which is on Bankfield Road directly east of the 416 interchange. Rebuilding the transmission line would require replacing the existing transmission structures and widening the corridor in certain locations. A temporary by-pass line would be constructed in order
to maintain power supply to local residents during construction. The Power South Nepean project is being planned in accordance with the Class En-
vironmental Assessment (EA) for Minor Transmission Facilities, approved under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.

The dreamy stillness of a silent November from Dusk to Dawn to Dusk A weird and dreamy stillness falls upon the breathless earth; the windless, voiceless woods and the gray stubble fields are now still. Tired nature has folded her weary hands for rest; the earth is napping in a magical haze. The mornings are frosty and the twilights are crispy cold, the breath of the north wind is bitter and chill. The last cling-
ing red leaf has fluttered down, the swallows and thrushes have long flown away. The dull red sunset fades into the grey, somber motionless clouds. The lonely, little creek murmurs no more with its icy coating, silent as I pass, the music has fled. The goldenrod slumbers, milkweed pods are all but gone; wildflowers, asters, clover and daisies all fall asleep until April. Sleep
THIS WEEK,
THIS MONTH by Larry Ellis little leaves, grasses and blossoms and awaken in the spring. Though the wind is chill the hearts of the roses still beat, the tranquility of the garden dreams of happy days to come, and those dreams will
come true. The Full Moon in November is called the Beaver Moon and it usually appears very bright, perfectly round, clear and suggests “coldness.” Yesterday the fields were grey, the boughs
were bare and brown but last night silently the snow came down. All night long over the fields a quiet, soft and slow blanket appeared. Not one footprint was to be seen and at dawn there is nothing but whiteness except the flame of the cardinal on a feathery bough. Not a sound; pure silence, through and through, save the chatter of chickadees debating what to do or the Blue
Jay scolding somebody, anybody. There is a gentle hush-hush as the snow gems touch the earth; it is easy to become spellbound by the lovely work of art as winter waves its magic wand. Fear not, the winter will pass and once more in the spring the violets will bloom, the robins will sing, the orchards will grow pink and the creeks and brooks will sing their merry song.

My Toy Shop owner thanks community for support through the years Manotick Natural Market to move into My Top Shop location on Tighe Street in the new year By Jeff Morris There will be a new business on Tighe Street in Manotick in the new year. My Stop Shop will be closing its doors in the new year, replaced in that location by Manotick Natural Market. My Toy Shop owner Etienne Kerr, however, says that he is hoping there will be a toy element in the new store, perhaps My Toy Corner. “We are closing down our business as it is, but it has nothing to do with us not being supported or not being successful,” said Kerr. “This is Plan B of a divorce settlement, and it is an unfortunate situation.” Kerr has been holding the biggest sale the store has seen since it first opened its doors in August, 2010. On Wednesday last week, customers were lined up outside for his doors to open. “It’s been a very successful sale,” he said. “We have had a lot of regular customers, and a lot of new customers coming through our doors.” One of the benefits of the sale and the high traffic is that Kerr is getting the opportunity to thank his customers for supporting his business over the years. “Manotick has been great to us,” he said. “The support we have received in the community has been tremendous. I also think that there is a level of loyalty and appreciation in the community because they know that we have always given back to the community.” For the past few years, Kerr has been a driver with the Manotick BIA marketing efforts. The events organized by the BIA have been significant for the business community, and Kerr has been an influencial part in the planning stages for many of the BIA’s event planning and marketing processes. “The events are important for the business community,” he said. “Getting strong support from the community is often not enough for some businesses, simply because the population base is not enough. We are very fortunate that we had strong local support, but also the support from people in neighbouring communities and throughout Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.” Kerr opened his store during an event, as the inaugural Taste of Manotick fell on the date of his store opening. BIA Executive Director Donna Smith vis-
ited Kerr at his store and explained the event to him, and he scrambled to get ready. “It was an event to rejuvenate the village core after we went through the sewer installation project,” Kerr recalled. “Donna came to the store and let me know about it. I went to Bayshore and got a computer system for sales. We were making announcements on Manotick Main Street that we were open. That was our first experience in the village, and we were able to grow from there.” Being a toy store, the annual Olde Fashioned Christmas and Santa Claus Parade are a perfect fit for My Toy Shop. “We will still have the photos with Santa this year,” he said. “We book times for our regular customers and we try to fit the walk-ins in between them. One thing I don’t want is people standing around and waiting with babies, especially if it is cold.” The photos with Santa have been a big success through the years, and Kerr said that he enjoyed seeing the same families come back year after year. This year, the photos are free, with families invited to take their own photos with their cameras or devices. My Toy Shop will be collecting donations for the Manotick Chapter of Ladies Who Hamper. “When you are in business in the village, you form relationships with your customers,” he said. “We have met families with small children, and we have become friends through the years. Now, some of those children have grown up to become teenagers, and a lot of them will come into the store on their own now.” After two years in business, Kerr received a big boost when Parent Magazine named My Toy Shop one of the top toy stores in Canada. “That was really big for us,” he recalled. “We didn’t know anything about it, and they called us to tell us they were shipping some magazines to us, and let us know about the honour we had received. We got a lot of new customers from all over Ottawa after people read that article. It really helped take our business to the next level.” Kerr’s recipe for success was based on strong customer service, along with keeping his finger on the pulse of both the toy industry and the needs of his customers. “When Mastermind

Toys opened in Barrhaven, we had to reinvent ourselves,” he said. “There are things that we can’t compete with them on because of the buying power. As a result, we altered the selection of products we carried. We stopped carrying theme Lego, because we couldn’t compete with them. But we still carried traditional Lego. We focused on classic toys that were high in play value and educational value.” Kerr spent most of last week with a line-up in his store, as his customers were thrilled with the low prices they were paying during his sale. He told many of his customers about his situation, and all were saddened. Many said they will continue to visit the store and his Toy Corner. “It’s an unfortunate situation,” he said. “The last thing I want people to say is, ‘Oh, there goes another Manotick business
that didn’t get support from the community.’ That’s not the case at all.
The people in Manotick have been great to us, and I want to take this chance
to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years.”
rideau continues from page 7 The Class EA is a streamlined process that has proven effective in ensuring that minor transmission projects that have a predictable range of effects are planned and carried out in an efficient and environmentallyacceptable manner. This project will also require approval from federal agencies under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Contingent on the completion of the Class EA process and other planning approvals, Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One will submit an application to the Ontario Energy Board seeking approval to construct the project. It is anticipated that construction of these new facilities could begin in 2020 and be in service
in 2021. Consultation and public input is an important part of the project planning process and your opinions matter.

OTHSD student says the more you put in, the better your experience will be FOCUS ON
Age:17
YOUTH
School: Osgoode Township High Grade: 12 Parents: “I have two incredibly supportive and loving parents; Stewart and Stephanie Patterson.” Brother: “I have one older brother named Rory who is currently doing his third year of university at Brock.” Pet Peeve: “My biggest in when people talk while at the movies. It’s okay at home, but when people are talking loudly in the theatre, it just drives me crazy.”
Favourite Subjects: “My favourite subject is probably English, because I enjoy reading classic literature and learning about how certain stories have influenced our culture over time. Also, when I was going into grade 11, I did my grade 11 English credit overseas in Ireland, with a program called The Irish Experience. I got to tour all over Ireland while learning famous Irish literature, such as the works of Oscar Wilde and Eavan Boland.” What do you enjoy reading for pleasure? “I read plenty of different types of books, but I don’t really stick to a specific genre. Recently, I’ve read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell. Currently, I’m reading For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. However, nothing beats the Harry Potter Series.”
A c t i v i t i e s / I n t e rests: “I spend plenty of time working with my Student Council, planning and organizing events. So far, we’ve had two barbeques to raise money for our school, and we have an upcoming spirit week and costume contest scheduled
for the end of October. Also, as a Link leader I help organize and run events, specifically for grade 9’s to help them ease into high school. As a Skillbuilder I have been helping plan our school’s annual Leadership Camp, which happens in early November.” Why did you get involved in what you do? “I want all of the other students at Osgoode to enjoy their time in high school as much as I have. I find that the more effort I put in, the better an experience I get out.” Career Goals: “I plan to attend university, although I’m not yet sure of where to apply.”

The MessengerCOMMUNITY The legacy continues to grow for South Carleton’s Class of 1971-72
Fifty years after starting at South Carleton High School, 45 students from the 1971-72 Grade 13 class got together to celebrate the friendships and experiences they had shared. Not only did they look back, they decided to give back to South Carleton High School by contributing to the F. G. Ward Award. Almost $5,000 has been raised to sustain the bursary that is now administered by the Ottawa Community Foundation. On September 5, 1967, more than 200 students, mostly born in 1953 and 1954, went to their first day of high school in Richmond. South Carleton High School was only 15 years old. The school district stretched from Hazeldean in the north to Burritts Rapids in the south. The kids came from one and two room schools to larger six and eight room schools. They came from Richmond, Ashton, Munster, Dwyer Hill, Stittsville, Manotick, Fallowfield, North Gower, Kars and everywhere in between. Except for those from Richmond, everyone had long bus rides. Times were different. The foreign students were blonde – their parents came from Holland and Germany after the World War II. The rest were mostly of Irish stock that had settled the Ottawa Valley in the previous 150 years. There were a few kids of Italian or British heritage. Five years later, just over 100 students entered Grade 13. Some of the members of the original Grade 9 classes had moved to other schools and many had graduated from Grade 12 the year before. On July 2, 2017, 50 years after first walking the halls of South Carleton, almost half of these Grade 13 students joined in a class reunion at the home of Laura and Dave Tupper in Kars. The idea of holding a reunion had started a year previous with the big question “how do find people you had last seen 45 years ago?” Molly Hartin, Jean Moore and Dave Tupper had each kept in touch with a handful of classmates who they reached out to. With their help, over the course of the winter, everyone except for about a dozen classmates were located. Unfortunately, ten had already died. The reunion itself was a resounding success. Seventy-five people, including guests, came from across the country. One
classmate made the trip from his home in Columbia, South America. Many more wanted to come, but distance and other obligations got in the way. In the days prior to the reunion, many classmates shared their biographies. The story of the class is the story of Canada itself over the past 50 years. The class of 1971-72 was at the leading edge of the information age and a number got in on the ground floor in the high technology industry. Some became farmers, elementary and high school teachers, and academics at universities across the country. Others served in our armed forces and governments, cared for others as homemakers, health care workers, nurses and doctors, practiced law or accounting, or built businesses. Still others were musicians, artists, tradespeople and entrepreneurs.
The 1971-72 Class of South Carleton High School has found that giving back to the community has been a way to stay engaged with and involved in their school and community.

Local artist set to showcase single on-stage in advance of EP release By Mike Carroccetto Special to Manotick Messenger She turns 25 this Saturday and is craving a stage to celebrate. Miranda Boutros is an emerging recording artist who grew up in Manotick and now lives in Barrhaven. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my champagne birthday than with friends, family, and music,” says Boutros. And there’ll be a champagne toast, of course. The young music maker attended St. Leonard and St. Mark High School before attending Algonquin College’s School of Media and Design for their Music Industry Arts program. That’s where she befriended music producer Nick Gütz and musician Connery Brown. Since graduating Algonquin in 2015, she has worked on her own music with Gütz and Brown.” “It feels like a really good time in my life to take that leap and share my work with people. I’m ready to open myself up for response and reaction to my music and hopefully use it
to help guide and fuel me as I finish up my EP.” Boutros describes her sound as alternative pop with an alternative rock flare, with jazz and blues influences threaded throughout. “Not only are (Gütz and Brown) my friends and colleagues, they’re brothers I never had,” adds Boutros. “I can lean on them in times of weakness and
celebrate with them in times of triumph. They are important to my career and life in general.” This Saturday (November 25, 2017), Boutros will perform her single ‘Crave The Rose’ at Collab Space in Nepean, one of four songs from her debute EP -- The Exposé -- set for release in next Spring. Crave The Rose is now available on Spotify. Bou-
