‘I think it will be beneficial to the area’: Wilkinson Jessica Cunha

EMC news - The majority of businesses in north Kanata voted in favour of creating a business improvement area for the high tech sector and the new group met officially for the first time on Tuesday, Nov. 20. The annual general meeting for the Kanata North BIA was scheduled after the KourierStandard’s deadline, but the group was set to elect its first board of directors, decide on its budget and create bylaws. “I’m very pleased this is happening,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who will automatically become a director. The ward councillor holds one of the 12 positions. “We’ve worked for over a year on whether or not this would be a good thing for the community.” With an estimated 600 companies in the BIA’s coverage area, the steering committee is set to recommend a budget of $250,000 for its first year for startup costs, said Wilkinson. The nine-person committee will also be recommending a number of objectives for the BIA to meet. See FEW, page 2

EMC news - Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a surprise visit to the Glen Cairn Tennis Club on Wednesday night, Nov. 14, participating in a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The prime minister arrived shortly before the start of the event, walking up Oriole Avenue, accompanied by mem-

bers of his protective detail. “I had asked the prime minister (that) if he wasn’t busy this evening, if he wouldn’t mind coming out and be our official Christmas tree lighter,” said Colin McSweeney, a vice-president of the Glen Cairn Community Association and friend of Harper. “He wasn’t busy, so here he is.” The ceremony started with Christmas music by the Glen

Cairn Public School handbell choir, a group of grades 7 and 8 students, who performed traditional favourites such as Deck the Halls. After a few songs, the prime minister joined the children and lit the Christmas tree. More than 100 residents turned out for the first annual tree-lighting organized by the Glen Cairn Community Association, Kanata South

Coun. Allan Hubley and the Kourier-Standard. The event was attended by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor and MPP Jack MacLaren. Christmas Décor by Nutri-Lawn decorated the evergreen tree, which is located on 70 Castlefrank Rd., near the intersection of McKitrick Drive.

They include finding an office, hiring staff, networking and creating a list of all the businesses in the area, dealing with any concerns and putting together a website. She said the BIA will also have to work “towards a branding for the area; what do we want to be known as? What are the key issues in the area?” A BIA has the ability to help with marketing, hosting special events, lobbying various levels of government and economic development. “It provides a strong voice,” said Patrick Ferris, co-chairman of the steering committee and an employee with the Kanata Research Park Development Group at a previous meeting. “If our business sector is to grow we need a voice.” ‘BENEFICIAL’

A few businesses in the area objected to the creation of a BIA – around six or seven

– “but not enough to meet the 30 per cent objection to deny that,” said Wilkinson, adding one or two companies objected to the BIA itself, while the others didn’t want to have to pay more in property taxes. A surcharge on businesses’ property taxes will be collected by the city and then funnelled back into the BIA. The levy is determined by a company’s assessed property value, the assessed value for the entire area and the annual budget for the BIA. Rates change depending on the number of employees and size of a business. Wilkinson said the surcharge will likely range from $40 to $20,000, depending on the size of the businesses. “Most would be in a very small range,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the work they’re going to do. I think it will be beneficial to the area.” Wilkinson added she will be looking into the possibility of creating a business improvement area for the Kanata Cen-

Scouts take part in Core Park cleanup Mix-up leaves uncollected trash at Centrum Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A pile of garbage bags left at the base of steps near the Kanata Centrum was the result of a park cleanup and not trash dumped by the side of the road. The 1st Kanata Scouts Group took part in a cleanup day at the Town Centre Core Park, located on Campeau Drive near Kanata Avenue, on Saturday, Nov. 17. “It’s just the sort of things Scouts do; they get involved in their community,” said Graham Birkenhead, one of the Scout leaders. The group left around 20 bags of trash to be picked up by the city at the intersection of Kanata Avenue and Earl Grey Drive. Birkenhead took charge of this year’s cleanup for the first time and said a misunderstanding prevented the garbage from being picked up after the group finished cleaning the park.

“I didn’t realize I was supposed to phone 311 right after,” he said, adding the city knew about the cleanup but “may not have known the exact date.” He added the city called the Scouts group to fix the issue. “They were very happy the Scouts had done it,” he said of the cleanup.

That’s just one of three parks we look after. Graham Birkenhead Leader, 1st Kanata Scouts

Community groups do need to call the city to collect the trash when they’re finished but this “was just a slip up,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “(City staff) are just happy to have groups cleaning the parks.” She added it had nothing to do with the city’s recent switch to biweekly garbage pickup.

A drive through the area showed the trash bags had been collected by the afternoon of Nov. 19. SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY

The 1st Kanata Scouts, which is based in Beaverbrook, adopted the park in 2009, and every year the group prepares the area for winter and then conducts another cleanup of debris in the spring. “It’s just another community service; it’s part of our environmental activities,” said Birkenhead. “It’s just another project for them to do and get involved.” This year saw 12 Scouts, four Venturers and five leaders take part in the cleanup of the Town Centre Core Park, which they conducted after the Kanata Santa Claus Parade. “That’s just one of three parks we look after,” said Birkenhead. The Scouts also helped collect food items for the Kanata Food Cupboard earlier this month. “It’s been a busy three weekends,” said Birkenhead. “It’s just another of the supporting the community events that we do throughout the year.”

Ontarians encouraged to get screened for cancer

FILE

The Kanata Stallions are raising funds in memory of Glen Cairn teen Jamie Hubley, pictured here with his father, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. All proceeds from the Nov. 27 game against the Pembroke Lumber Kings will be donated to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa.

Stallions round up funds in memory of Jamie Hubley

tarians to share with their loved ones. Residents are also encouraged to talk to their healthcare provider about being screened or visit the Time to Screen tool to find out the right time to be screened. Time to Screen specifically encourages: • Average-risk men and women, 50 to 74 years of age, to screen for colorectal cancer every two years using the fecal occult blood test. • Average risk women 50 to 74 years of age to screen for breast cancer every two years with mammography. • Women 21 to 70 years

EMC news - Cancer Care Ontario has launched Time to Screen, a call to action for at least 100,000 additional residents to screen for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer over the next six months. Time to Screen also encourages Ontarians to have open conversations with their family and friends about getting screened, as cancer screening will help save countless lives by enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment. Included in the initiative are creative e-cards about cancer screening for On-

to screen for cervical cancer every three years with a Pap test. • Women 30 to 69 years of age who have been identified as being at high risk for breast cancer should have a screening mammogram and MRI every year. “There is strong evidence that screening for colorectal, breast and cervical cancers can reduce mortality,” said Dr. Linda Rabeneck of Cancer Care Ontario. Cancer screening sees what you can’t and is proven to save lives by detecting pre-cancerous changes or cancer at an early stage.

Proceeds from Nov. 27 game to be donated to Youth Services Bureau Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - Bernice Wilson is betting on the Stallions to help round up funds for the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa in memory of her friend Jamie Hubley. The Kanata Lakes woman asked John Russo, owner of the Stallions, if the team would be willing to host a fundraiser in memory of the Glen Cairn teen, who took his own life just over a year ago after being bullied for his sexual orientation. “I knew Jamie; I know the family and I saw Jamie growing up,” said Wilson. “I saw what a wonderful kid he was growing up … how talented and kind and generous he was. I just felt it was such a terrible tragedy and our community is a dimmer place to live because of what happened. I asked John if I could use the Stallions to generate a fundraiser in memory of Jamie. He said ‘Go ahead and organize it.’” All proceeds from ticket sales for the Jr. A hockey

team’s game against the Pembroke Lumber Kings on Tuesday, Nov. 27, will be donated to the Youth Services Bureau, the charity chosen by Jamie’s parents Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and his wife, Wendy.

It’s important we keep the bullying issue front and centre. BERNICE WILSON ORGANIZER

“We really appreciate that the Stallions are doing that and we hope that everyone can join us,” said the councillor, who will be in attendance. He added with the loss of National Hockey League games “it’s a chance to see some good hockey in Kanata.” Wilson met the Hubleys

at her summer house, where Jamie’s aunt also owned a cottage. “We became friends,” said Wilson. “I thought it would be a good thing to do in his memory and to honour his life. He tried to change things in his school and community to make kids feel comfortable.” The game will take place at the Kanata Recreation Complex, 100 Walter Baker Pl., starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door or can be purchased ahead of time from: Innovations Hair Studio, 411 Donald B. Munro Dr., Carp; Tony’s Place Hairstylist, 455 Hazeldean Rd.; Don Cherry’s Sports Grill, 320 Eagleson Rd. in the Hazeldean Mall; Wild Wing, 700 Eagleson Rd.; at Earl of March and A.Y. Jackson secondary schools and John Young Elementary School. “We specifically chose the game against the Lumber Kings because there’s a good rivalry against the two teams,” said Wilson. “We have a great community and we really come together over things like this. And we’re helping youth that are incredibly vulnerable. “It’s important we keep the bullying issue front and centre so people are educated about the issue.”

Rollover sends two to hospital Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Two people were sent to hospital after their vehicle rolled over in south Kanata on Sunday, Nov. 18. The driver, a 62-year-old male, appeared to suffer a medical event before the collision, said paramedics in a release. They treated him for shoulder and neck pain and stroke-like symptoms. The front-seat passenger, a 62-

year-old female, was treated for spinal injuries and neck pain. They were both taken to hospital in serious condition, said paramedics. The vehicle, a four-door Honda Accord, left the roadway around 5:10 p.m. at the intersection of Kakulu and Castlefrank roads, drove over a fence bordering the yard at Castlefrank Elementary School and struck a tree before rolling over onto its roof and trapping the occupants in-

side, said the fire department in a release. “The male driver and female passenger were both conscious, but trapped in the four-door Honda Accord,” said the fire department. Fire rescue crews used extrication tools to remove the driver-side door as well as a complete side removal on the passenger side. It took just under 45 minutes to extricate both passengers. Police are investigating the collision.

‘Help is on the way’: Hubley Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - An environmental assessment is set to begin for a transportation plan in the south Kanata area by late December or early January, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. The councillor was set to make the announcement at the Bridlewood Community Association’s meeting on Nov. 20. “What the EA will tell us is…how we’re going to move people,” he said. “We know there’s a lot of congestion.” A traffic study on the area is set to be released by Nov. 26. The transportation committee will consider approval of the environmental assessment in December, which then needs to be approved by council before it can begin, said Hubley. The assessment will look at the possibility of widening Richmond, Fallowfield and Hope Side roads to help alleviate traffic volumes in south Kanata.

An environmental assessment for south Kanata will look at the potential to widen roads, including Richmond Road. “Help is on the way,” said Hubley. The city has partnered with the NCC to complete the assessment, and Enbridge has agreed to delay putting in a new pipeline along West Hunt Club and Richmond roads, which was to begin next year, so the study can be completed, said Hubley. He said $400,000 has been set aside in the 2013 budget to complete the environmental assessment, and money would be set aside in 2014 for the de-

tailed design. “Hopefully we’re breaking ground by 2015 at the latest,” he said. With a number of developers building in the west Kanata and Stittsville area, Hubley said the city is predicting around 15,000 new homes, which means an added 20,000 to 30,000 new cars over the next few years. “It’s a growth area,” said Hubley. “We need to have these roadways as quick as possible.”

EMC news - An Ottawa man who attended Winston Churchill’s funeral in 1965 shared his appreciation for the late British prime minister with the Probus Club of Western Ottawa on Nov. 13. Ronald Cohen, one of the three co-founders of the Sir Winston Churchill Society of Ottawa, was the guest speaker at the meeting. Cohen was in attendance at Churchill’s funeral, standing in the crowds on Parliament Square in London, England, as the funeral procession made its way to St. Paul’s Cathedral. “Mr. Cohen’s speech was not only interesting, but entertaining, and brought back many memories to those Brits in the audience who had lived in Great Britain during the Second World War,� said Pat Thompson, a member of the Probus Club who attended the meeting, in an email. “Mr. Cohen quoted Sir Winston many times with great impersonations of Winston’s familiar voice.� The Sir Winston Churchill Society organizes events to commemorate Churchill’s life and “to ensure the relevance of his example to the generations that succeed him,� according to the group’s website. “Mr. Cohen spoke of many events throughout Churchill’s life in England, and the various positions which Churchill

held; he served under six monarchs,� said Thompson. “After half a century, Churchill is still newsworthy; he is quoted and misquoted by politicians. As prime minister, he inspired so many people saying that Great Britain could win the war.� Cohen wrote the Bibliography of the Writings of Sir Winston Churchill, has published numerous articles on the former prime minister, and speaks to various organizations across Canada and the United States about Churchill’s life.

Taking green bin recycling to new heights

T

he city should be applauded for moving ahead with a plan to deliver the full spectrum of recycling possibilities to apartment dwellers. A plan approved by a city committee last week would see all types of recycling services – including green bins – available to people living in new multi-residential buildings. Garbage isn’t a sexy topic, but it is an expensive one.

If residents of this city don’t divert trash from the Trail Road landfill into coloured recycling bins, we’ll fill up the dump and be forced to send our waste further afield. The cost will be enormous – just as the cost of building a new landfill would be enormous – so it’s best to delay that outcome, and recycling is the solution the city is backing. In 2010, 53,349 tonnes of organic waste were collected from Ottawa homes; in

2011, that number rose only slightly to 55,063. A few people who live in apartments have been part of a pilot project to see how green bins might work for all multi-residential buildings. There are challenges presented by multi-unit residences, because places such as apartment complexes rarely have space to store green bins. The city’s plan under review would require landlords to construct waste handling

systems for future buildings. The cost of adding recycling space during the construction of a new building is minimal when compared to retrofitting. It’s a small price to pay and the sooner new buildings come with recycling space, the more waste can be diverted from the landfill. Given that the city is encouraging intensified development, we can expect to see more people in apartments in the future. Making sure all

those apartment dwellers can sort and store recyclables is critical. There will be challenges, and some were discussed at a recent meeting of the city’s planning committee. If bins are not located near apartment entrances, people with mobility issues will have a hard time participating. Councillors are understandably worried about putting in place a policy that may leave residents on the outside looking in.

Hopefully this will be the first step towards adapting the green bin program to work at existing multiunit residential properties, which would allow organic waste diversion to become even more widespread. It is entirely conceivable that solutions implemented at new buildings could be retrofitted to work at existing structures. But until that time the city is taking the appropriate steps to ensure that even if some people can’t or won’t do their part and recycle, Ottawa is moving in the right direction on the waste management file.

Awaiting the pre-population explosion CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

went to fill out one of those online forms the other day and when I got to about the second page of it, I found out that it had been pre-populated. Yes. There was a note there saying that as a convenience to me, parts of the form had been pre-populated. The room, all of a sudden, felt crowded. But what it meant was that parts of the form had already been filled in with information that the website already knew about me. That wasn’t very much, as it turned out, just my name and not even my phone number. You can imagine, however, how alarming it would be to be subject to more extensive pre-population. This, in a way, is what all the concern about online privacy is about. People put stuff about themselves up there and it hangs around and hangs around. There are probably a lot more people than you think who know where you live, your telephone number and email address. And there are others who know things about your buying habits. If you are worried about your personal pre-population exceeding that, you have to be careful. For example, I would never tell put it online that the other day I decided to use Baseline and Heron as a quicker way to get from west to east. Nobody does that, right? Well, the Queensway looked really slow, so I made one of those instant decisions that took me right to the Idiot Drivers Hall of Fame. Mind you, it took quite a while to get there. There were all the stoplights, and then the 25 minutes it took to get from Heron Road Bridge to Riverside.

The first 20 minutes on Heron Road were spent wondering why nobody was moving, especially me. The next three minutes were spent wondering why nobody bothered to put up a CONSTRUCTION sign until we were almost at the construction and the two minutes after that were spent wondering why somebody couldn’t have let us all know 25 minutes ago the left lane was the one that was going to end. All the information available in the world, all the ultra-modern means of transmitting it and we sit there on Heron Road, motionless and clueless. Surely this information could have been pre-populated somewhere. The radio didn’t have anything and it’s against the law to fiddle with your phone to find out. A caveman sitting where Heron Road is now would have had just as much information as we did. All of which leads to a profound conclusion: We have all kinds of information available to us, more than ever before. Your phone probably has more information in it than all the world’s libraries in 1912, for all I know. So yes, we have all kinds of information available to us. We just don’t have the right kind. Some day soon all this will be fixed. We will have the equivalent of smartphones implanted in us, perhaps. They will tell us which lane to be in, which roads to avoid, when the snowplow is coming, which parking lots are not full, which stores still have the toy we wanted to buy for Christmas. We will be pre-populated like crazy. But will this make us happy? Probably not. We will be distracted by too much information, confused over having too many choices. You can see it happening now and it can only get worse. It is possible that we will long for the good old days when there was only one thing at a time we needed to now and we knew how to find it. Strange as it may seem, we may one day look nostalgically back on being stuck in traffic, on Heron Road, blissful in our ignorance on the way to the Idiot Drivers Hall of Fame.

Could outsourcing dinner save us money? BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

EAT WHAT’S COOKED

One possible explanation is that restaurants have systems for ordering and preparing food. In other words, they cook what they buy and people tend to eat what is cooked. Food at home is another story. Most people go into the grocery store with good intentions: They load their carts up with fresh produce, then bask in the glory of fridges full of greens. But a busy week at work, a sick child, one too

Eleven years ago, Julie Broczkowski, a chemical engineer by profession, launched her business, The Magic Fridge. Like most personal chefs, the crux of her business model is to cater to households. What makes her stand out, however, is that she doesn’t just make a bunch of stuff and bring it to you. For $200, plus the cost of groceries, Broczkowski will help you plan a menu, do your grocery shopping and cook approximately eight meals in your own kitchen. “When I first started out I thought seniors would be my target market,” says Broczkowski. “But the vast majority of my clients are families where both parents

from personal shopping to housecleaning. For a family on a budget, it may be hard to think about adding an expense. But in a way, outsourcing dinner makes total sense and it may save you more than just time – it could save you money, too. Canadians waste approximately $27 billion of food each year, according to a report released in October from the Value Chain Management Centre, an Ontario-based organization that conducts research on waste. In 2010, uneaten leftovers at home accounted for more than half of that amount – 51 per cent. Surprisingly, only eight per cent of food waste was attributed to restaurants.

y husband is probably the first man in the history of paternity leave to take his role seriously. Okay, maybe not. But he’s doing an awesome job. While I hide out in my office all day (you know, breadwinning), he’s rocking baby and feeding baby and taking baby for walks. Then he’s supervising homework and cooking dinner and making lunches and cooking dinner. Oh, and did I mention cooking dinner? It may come as no surprise that – like so many women before him – he has become completely overwhelmed with his domestic duties. One day, as I approached him – up to his eyeballs in clean laundry, baby gurgling on the living-room floor – he said, “I think we need to outsource something.” Interesting. “What do you have in mind?” I asked him, knowing he’s got an arm’s-length list of home renovations projects he’d like to be doing in lieu of baby care. “The food, the meals,” he said. “I feel like I’m always in the kitchen.” It’s true. I know it. I’ve been meal-planning and lunch-making for my family for seven years. It’s a huge pain in the you-know-what – everything from coming up with original ideas, to chopping, to timing and shopping.

Fair discussion of Poppy campaign condo needed a success To the editor: Re: “Developer Files OMB Appeal,” Nov. 8, KKS. Talk about re-inventing history. In the article, the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association president, Gary Sealey, is quoted as saying “The KBCA donors submitted tens of thousands of dollars to that end so we could promote discussion of the proposed development of 2 The Parkway.” Our understanding of discussion is that people hear the facts about the proposal and then voice their views. Not knowing much about the proposal, but believing Kanata needs condo development for its ageing population, we attended the first meeting many months ago to have the discussion Mr. Sealey refers to. However, we were met at the door by people who wanted us to sign a petition against the development. Then as the meeting opened, we had to endure the rantings of Bill Teron who went on and on about how the community would raise money and take any decision in favour of the proposal to court. And all this before the developer even had a chance to present the proposal. I’m sorry, Mr. Sealey, this is not our idea of promoting discussion. Theresa and Doug Norris Kanata Lakes ***

To the editor: As we approach the final hours of our national poppy campaign, and on behalf of the millions of Canadians who have had the opportunity to wear a poppy this year, I want to thank our more than 330,000 legion members in more than 1,500 legion branches across Canada, the United States and in Europe for their support and dedication for this campaign. With an estimated 18 million poppies worn this year, our efforts to remember the more than 117,000 service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice have been recognized. By making a donation and wearing a poppy, Canadians of all ages support Canadian Forces and RCMP veterans and their families as well as the many the communities where we live. The poppy campaign makes it possible for the legion to operate a service bureau which acts as an advocate for veterans and RCMP members and their families to ensure their quality of life is the best it can be. Every year, the money collected through the poppy campaign is used to provide direct assistance for veterans and their families who are experiencing financial distress. The funds are used to pay for food, accommodation,

utilities, hospital comforts and dental and optical services. The legion truly cares about all veterans, not just by advocating on their behalf, but by engaging in everyday activities to make their lives better. In fact, our most recent records show more than $13 million were disbursed as benevolent awards to Canada’s veterans and serving personnel. Again, thank you to the thousands of legion members who helped with our poppy campaign and to the millions of Canadians who have proudly supported our campaign this year. We are truly grateful. We will remember them. Gordon Moore Dominion president Royal Canadian Legion ***

Thank you for wearing a poppy

To the editor: On behalf of all veterans everywhere, I am very grateful to all those in our community who chose to wear a poppy to commemorate Remembrance this year. The ultimate sacrifice made by over 117,000 servicemen and women has been recognized. The poppy campaign enables the legion to operate a service bureau for veterans and RCMP members to ensure that their quality of life

is the best it can be. Your donation is used to provide direct assistance for veterans and their families who are experiencing financial distress plus a multitude of other services. The legion cares greatly for all veterans and engages in daily activities to help make their lives better. Thank you for your continued support as part of a caring community. Lest we forget Moira M.

Time to recall the legislature

To the editor: One month ago, the Liberals shut down the Legislature in the midst of a jobs and debt crisis. They were facing a growing list of scandals, including their $1-billion seat-saver program for the cancelled Mississauga and Oakville gas plants and their eHealth boondoggle that’s wasted $2 billion of taxpayer money with little to show. Rather than being accountable for their decisions, the Liberals decided to run away from their responsibilities while holding a leadership race that won’t wrap up until the end of January.

Power outages can and do occur, however, for a variety of reasons. Storms, tree contacts, a loss of supply from the provincial grid, and equipment failure can all cause outages. Most of these causes are beyond our control at Hydro Ottawa. In 2011, for example, three major storms hit Ottawa in the spring and summer, causing widespread outages. We worked long hours in challenging conditions to get the power back on as soon as possible.

Our year-round tree trimming program is another element of outage prevention, helping to keep trees from making contact with electricity wires. We trim more than 40,000 trees a year to reduce outages and keep the public safe. When unplanned outages do occur, please call the Power Outage Line – 613-738-0188 – to report the outage and to get updated information. You can also pass along information if you are aware of something (like a downed wire) that would help our power restoration activities. Also available is an Online Power Outage Map at www.hydroottawa.com/outages. Updated every 15 minutes, the map displays the location of outages, the estimated number of customers affected, the cause of the outage, and the estimated time of restoration, once known.

Ottawa’s power supply over the past several years has been among the most reliable in Ontario, according to Ontario Energy Board statistics.

To improve reliability, we invested about $50 million to enhance our existing power grid in 2011. Our plan is to maintain or exceed this level of spending over the next five years. We have a rigorous maintenance program, we replace aging assets, and we are adopting new, smart grid technologies including automated controls and sensors that can help to prevent or quickly identify outages.

LETTERS Continued from page 11

By shutting down the Legislature – with no indication of when the House will return – the Liberals have prevented MPPs from taking urgent action that would rein in government overspending and kickstart private sector job creation in Carleton-Mississippi Mills and across Ontario. There are 600,000 women and men in Ontario who didn’t have a job to go to this morning. These are people who are depending on their elected officials to help turn our province’s economy around. Instead, the Liberals are letting Ontarians down. With the doors shut, they’ve put a government that wasn’t doing its job on autopilot, leaving overspending to continue unchecked and the debt to accumulate. They’ve sent the message to businesses and credit rating agencies that the Liberals’ made-in-Ontario jobs and debt crisis continues. Enough is enough. Last month, our province lost another 40,000 private sector jobs while the public sector became even more bloated with another 30,000 jobs. In fact, October marked the 70th consecutive month that the provincial unemployment rate has been above the national average. Ontario needs to get off the path of a $30-billion deficit in

Your Community Newspaper

order to attract investors and encourage businesses to expand and create new jobs. All of us want the best possible public services, and the only way to get there is by paying down the debt, balancing the budget and growing the economy. MPPs need to be back at work, passing legislation to help balance the budget, eliminate trade barriers, modernize our apprenticeship system and lower taxes, among a number of other pro-growth actions. Now it’s time for Liberal MPPs to step up and do the right thing by Ontarians. They need to immediately recall the Legislature, so that we can put Ontario back on track towards economic prosperity.

Glen Cairn lights up night To the editor: I wanted to celebrate Canadian culture in a big way. I thought what better way

than a huge beautiful Christmas tree lighting up the night. With the help of Glen Cairn Community Association president Rob Nino, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Colin and Erin McSweeney, it was an idea that came to life on Nov. 14. By calling in favours and pulling some strings they created what is destined to become an annual Christmas celebration in Glen Cairn. The lighting of the Glen Cairn Christmas Tree. We had several special guests including MP Gordon O’Connor and MPP Jack MacLaren. We were very honoured to have Prime Minister Stephen Harper start the countdown and throw the switch. The ever growing crowd cheered and applauded when this magnificent tree lit up the night. With the thousands of coloured lights dancing and twinkling, it was an awesome moment. Thom Bourne of Christmas Décor by Nutri-lawn did an absolutely fantastic job of decorating our tree. It is quite likely the grandest Christmas tree in Ottawa. A heart felt thanks and much appreciation goes to all those that took a simple idea, ran with it and made it come to life. Merry Christmas to all. Derrick Curren Glen Cairn

Glen Cairn holds tree ceremony Continued from page 1

www.marchdental.ca 1120 March Road, Kanata

Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent some time meeting residents and posing for photographs during the Glen Cairn Christmas tree lighting event.

Dr. Yolande Dmytrowski

Marlene Othmer Hygienist

Hot chocolate and cookies were served during the event. Derrick Curren, who came up with the idea of holding a

Christmas tree lighting ceremony, didn’t know the prime minister would attend the event. “I knew something was taking place when I saw the

trenchcoats (of the prime minister’s security detail) around,” he said. Curren was one of dozens of residents who lined up and had their photograph taken with Harper. “He just asked me my name. My wife mentioned it was my idea (for the event) and he said, ‘Nice idea.’” Sheila Feres and Kathleen Feres-Patry said they enjoyed meeting the prime minister. “It was very special,” said Sheila. “He asked me my name, and I welcomed him to Glen Cairn.” At first, Kathleen said she couldn’t join in the photo opportunity. “I can’t I’ve got the dog,” she said, pointing at the family golden retriever, Taffy. “He said, ‘That’s OK, bring the dog in.’”

Bartering was necessary for survival in the ’30s

T

here seemed to me that not much money changed hands back in the Depression. Of course, there wasn’t much money around. Mother pretty well ran the house on what was in the sugar bowl holding her egg money, which came from selling eggs, cream, butter, chickens and sticky buns door-to-door in Renfrew on Saturdays and of course, in the summer-

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories time, a few more pennies were realized when she could add fresh vegetables from our ample garden to her wares. Father always had a few

coins in his pocket, but they were few and far between. It seemed to me back then that most of the commerce of the day was done by bartering. Mr. Briscoe at Briscoe’s

General Store wasn’t interested in trading what he sold for chickens, vegetables, cream or butter. After all, the entire Northcote farm area had an ample supply of those things themselves. But he always welcomed Mother’s sticky buns. These she traded for sugar and green tea. For the rare times old Dr. Murphy had to drive out all the way from Renfrew and there were very few coins in the egg money bowl, R0011708657

he would be paid for his visit with a freshly plucked chicken, a sealer jar or fresh cream, and of course, eggs. There was always an ample supply of eggs and Dr. Murphy, it seemed to me, never expected to get cold hard cash for his trip out from Renfrew. The stores in town were a different matter. Those owned locally were used to bartering with the farming community. But you could never make a deal with Walker’s Store, which was owned by some big firm in Toronto. It had to be cold hard cash.

It seemed to me Father was continually bartering with other farmers.

INVITES YOU TO AN

EVENING CHRISTMAS BAZAAR

But it wasn’t unusual to see Mother making a deal at Scott’s Hardware or Aikenhead Store, trading a fresh chicken for chicken wire or freshly churned butter for cough medicine. There really was a Mr. Scott and a Mr. Aikenhead and they seemed to know cash was scarce. I doubt Mother was ever turned away because she hadn’t the money to pay for what she needed. It seemed to me Father was continually bartering with other farmers in Northcote. It wasn’t at all unusual to see him walking a young heifer out the lane with a rope around its neck and coming back with a colt. Or he would load a sheep in the back of the old Model T and come back with a couple of newborn piglets.

It was how the farm community survived the terrible Depression that closed in around them. Although we depended heavily on the hand me down boxes that came regularly from from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, it wasn’t at all unusual for the clothes to be traded amongst the neighbours. I once got a lovely coat from my little friend Joyce who had outgrown it. I doubt we had anything to give her in return -- they were so much better off than we were. After all, Joyce lived in a brick house and had a toilet. As regular as clockwork, we had visits from Rawleigh and Watkins door-to-door salesmen. They travelled by horse and buggy, and we could always tell when they were coming in our long lane, because they both had big brass bells around their horse’s necks which gave plenty warning they were on their way. They were both great salesmen and it was hard to resist their wares. It wasn’t unusual for Mother, when she had bought over her limit to start bartering with them. They bantered back and forth and when the salesmen realized there wasn’t enough money to pay for what Mother had chosen, they could either take the couple pounds of butter and a few eggs, or pack up and leave. They usually accepted the barter. It seemed to me back then, that bartering was simply a way of life. There was no embarrassment to trading one thing for another. It was just another tool that helped people of the 1930s survive.

Leek, potato, ham gratin a tasty dish for cold days EMC lifestyle - Firm cheeses offer a great flexibility of use. They keep very well. They are delicious by themselves and can also be used in a thousand different ways in the kitchen. Pastas, cooked dishes, quiches, omelets, gratins, sandwiches and salads couldn’t survive by without them! At any meal, these cheeses add taste and nutritional value. Gratins are often laden with heavy cream and butter, and cheese. This lightened version is just as delicious and wonderfully comforting. To serve with roast meats or poultry, omit the ham. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: one hour. Servings: four as main course or six as side dish. INGREDIENTS

• 1 bunch leeks (two to four) • 1 tbsp (15 ml) each of olive oil and butter • 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried thyme leaves • 1/4 tsp (1 ml) each of salt and pepper • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Dijon mustard • 1/2 cup (125 ml) chicken or vegetable stock • 1 cup (250 ml) diced ham (about 125 g) • 1 kg potatoes (five to six medium) • 1/4 cup (50 ml) freshly grated parmesan or asiago cheese PREPARATION

Cut leeks in half lengthwise and wash well. Slice white and light green parts. In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Stir in the leeks and garlic and cook until slightly softened, for three to five minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the mustard, stock and ham and then set aside. Peel and thinly slice the po-

tatoes to about a quarter inch (half a centimetre) thick. Place one-third of the potato slices in a buttered eight- to 10-cup (two to 2.5 L) gratin or shallow baking dish. Spoon half of the leek mixture over top. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining potatoes. Cover with buttered parchment paper, pressing buttered side down. Bake in an oven at 400 F (200 C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. Remove parchment paper. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes to melt cheese and lightly brown potatoes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Tip: A mandolin or food processor makes even, thin potato slices. To make slicing easier, cut potatoes in half crosswise and place flat edge down on mandolin.

Canadians need training: poll EMC news - According to recent polling by the Canadian Red Cross, the majority of Canadians say they would recognize the signs if someone were experiencing a cardiac emergency, but fewer than half say they would be able to do something to help. November is CPR month, an annual campaign to promote the importance of CPR as a lifesaving skill. The Canadian Red Cross urges Canadians to take a course, and know what to do in an emergency.

“In half a day you can learn the skills necessary to save a life,” says Don Marentette, national manager of first aid programs with the Canadian Red Cross. “Only 15 per cent of Canadians say they are confident they can help someone suffering from a cardiac emergency, and that’s just not enough. Approximately one in 10 deaths in Canada directly results from a heart attack. In large urban centres, the average ambulance response time is more than eight min-

utes, but permanent brain damage is likely to occur within four to six minutes after a person stops breathing. “Knowing what to do in those critical minutes can save a life,” adds Marentette. “CPR, when used with an automated external defibrillator, and started immediately after cardiac arrest, can double a person’s chance of surviving a heart attack.” For more information or to find a course near you, visit www.redcross.ca/firstaid.

Vigil honours victims of violence ‘Whole community issue’ affects everyone: WOCRC director Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

SAISON 2012 - 2013 SEASON

EMC news - The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women will be marked with a vigil at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre on Dec. 6. The event is an annual reminder of the École Polytechnique Massacre, which saw 14 women killed by a psychologically disturbed gunman. “It remembers the 14 engineering students who were murdered,” said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the centre. “That’s an important part of it but it’s symbolic. It’s an opportunity to remember all the women and children who are impacted by domestic violence.” The centre always lights 15 candles during the ceremony; 14 for those gunned down and the last flame to represent all the nameless victims of violence.

Minoo, right, who works at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, lights the 15 candles at last year’s vigil, as a woman lays a rose on the table. “It’s an important reminder that we need to take action against violence against women and children,” said Jordan. “It’s important that we pause and reflect on this issue. This is our opportunity to bring the community together to do that.” Last year, the resource centre helped 160 women and

children at Chrysalis House, a shelter for those fleeing abusive situations. However, 817 were turned away due to a lack of space, said Jordan. “It’s definitely an issue in our community,” she said. “It speaks to the importance of the vigil in creating awareness and reminding everyone that it’s a community issue.

EMC news - The United Way has reached the midpoint of its $30-million fundraising goal and campaign organizers are urging donors to keep the momentum going. “We have every confidence in Ottawa,” said campaign co-chairperson Angie Poirier. “Ottawa is the most generous (city), with one in six donating to the campaign.”

nac-cna.ca/subscribe

Since the campaign launched on Sept. 27, it has raised $16.4 million. This year’s campaign has made its recipients the focus and the United Way has showcased them with videos on its website. “It’s the stories we hear about are the lives that are directly changing,” Poirier said. “A life becomes a life and is turned around.” The goal is for people to feel connected with the orga-

nizations their donations help. Every little bit helps, said the campaign organizers. “It’s the measurable change,” said Poirier. “If the money isn’t there, then the individuals don’t get to change. These people wouldn’t have the lives that they come to know if we didn’t have the money and resources to help.” Poirier has attended numerous events during the past six weeks aimed at motivat-

“It is a whole community issue; men and women, rich and poor. We need to work together to end violence against women.” The vigil, an outdoor candlelight ceremony followed by an indoor reception, will be held at the resource centre, located at 2 MacNeil Crt., from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. ing donors. “I was anticipating going into workplaces and (helping) with the launches, but wasn’t anticipating becoming so moved by those who are benefiting from United Way and seeing what it actually means to people,” Poirier said. The United Way has a history of staging workplace campaigns, with employees donating portions of their paycheques or holding fundraisers of their own. Anyone can donate to the cause on the United Way’s website, unitedwayottawa. com.

McCrimmon announces Liberal leadership bid ‘I do understand I’m a dark horse’ Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - Karen McCrimmon launched her bid for the federal Liberal leadership at a Kanata hotel on Wednesday, Nov. 14. “I do understand I’m a dark horse,” said McCrimmon during a media scrum following her speech before more than 100 people. McCrimmon said she felt compelled to offer her service as the Liberal party leader. “I just felt something had to be done,” she said. “I think Canadians are looking for hope.” The 54-year-old Constance Bay woman said she delayed announcing her run for the leadership until she had a chance to talk with fellow candidate Justin Trudeau when he spoke at a CarletonMississippi Mills riding dinner on Nov. 7.

In these depressed economic times, Canadians are looking for leadership, she said. “Yesterday’s announcement that we are $5 billion in debt more than expected is a wakeup call for all of us,” she said in her speech, later adding that if she were prime minister her government would balance the budget.

Karen McCrimmon announces her candidacy for the federal Liberal leadership in a crowded meeting room at the Kanata Holiday Inn Select on Nov. 14. way out of this fear.” She said Canadians need to work together to fix problems with health care, climate change and unemployment. The country needs a leader with strategic planning skills to tackle these problems, she said. Decision-making powers need to be decentralized from the Prime Minister’s Office and the cabinet to the legislature and the public service, said McCrimmon, who also promised more transparency in government. “I’m not pleased with the path Canada is currently on,” she said. “From where I sit I can see that we are going slowly off course.” She said the party needs to work together. “As leader of the Liberal party I will strengthen the teamwork within the party,” she said. “We need all Canadians to be part of that team to build a better country.” McCrimmon is a retired lieutenant-colonel, known as the first woman to command a Canadian Forces Air Force squadron: 429 Squadron Trenton. She lost to CarletonMississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor in the 2011 federal election. O’Connor, also a veteran, won with 57 per cent

of the vote to McCrimmon’s 24 per cent. Her campaign slogan is Karen for Canada, with the website address karenforcanada.ca. As commanding officer of 429 Squadron, which flew C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, McCrimmon and her crews carried out many humanitarian and military operations around the globe. She served in the first Gulf War, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and was also a senior staff officer at NATO air headquarters in Germany. In 1995, she was awarded the Order of Military Merit, one of the highest peacetime military awards. She is the mother of two grown children. Among those vying with McCrimmon for the top job are Trudeau, David Merner, David Bertschi, Alex Burton, Deborah Coyne and Jonathan Mousley. The new Liberal leader will be elected in Ottawa on April 14. McCrimmon’s campaign team is still collecting the 300 signatures needed and the $75,000 entry fee – $50,000 is due by Dec. 15 – to stay in the race. With files from Derek Dunn

Chinese New Year event to be interactive, informative Learn how to make traditional food, crafts Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre is getting a jump start on planning its 2013 New Year’s celebration. The event, which is set to take place on Feb. 10, will feature interactive stations where the public will have the chance to make their own traditional food and crafts. Wen Jean Ho, founder of the support centre, said she’s hoping the event will draw a large crowd looking to learn about Chinese culture. “(We want) the community to come out and enjoy the activities,” she said. “It’s going to be fun.” Ho said the group wants to celebrate their culture with the community by hosting a more interactive event. “Cross-cultural, cross-community; then we can really create harmony.” Booths at the New Year celebration will include: • A craft section with papercutting and Chinese lanternmaking tables. • Food stations where at-

tendees can learn how to make dumplings, sweet rice balls and spring rolls. • Teaching areas where people can learn how to write Chinese characters, about traditional medicines and first aid, and a background in history of the culture. • An area with traditional clothing will be set up where attendees can try on the garments and have their photo taken. A tea ceremony will also be performed, as will a theatrical performance. “We will tell how Chinese people celebrate the New Year,” said Ho about the performance. “The focus is interaction.” One way to celebrate is by creating red paper lanterns. They are hung in a window or over a door during the New Year celebration, which spans 15 days. “It’s a symbol of luck for the Chinese New Year,” said Ho, adding attendees will have the opportunity to make their own lanterns at the event. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The support centre is looking for volunteers to help run each aspect of the ceremony, including the theatrical performance. “Community members can participate in the performance,” said Ho. “We will

Chamber fundraiser serves up Food for Thought Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Chamber of Commerce hosted its 11th-annual Food for Thought event on Thursday, Nov. 15. The food and wine show is also the largest fundraiser for the local food bank. Last year’s Food for Thought event raised more than $6,000. The chamber raises the funds through the silent and live auctions – which this included a 12-person suite for a Blue Rodeo concert at Scotiabank Place and a chef’s table at Graffiti’s Italian Eatery for eight with wine. Hundreds of people attended the event, sampling delicious dishes and drinks

prepared by local restaurants and vendors. Food for Thought was held at the Holiday Inn & Suites, 101 Kanata Ave. Ticket prices for the event were $50 for members and $60 for non-members. Only 300 tickets were sold for the event. This year’s event showcased the work of west-end chefs as well as a few new additions, including bistrofiftyfour, as well as past favourites the Cheshire Cat Pub, Napolis Café and Lapointe Seafood Grill. A number of local and international wineries and breweries also participated. Graffiti’s and the Holiday Inn & Suites were co-hosts of the event with the Chamber. With files from Jessica Cunha

City looks to set green bin rules for multi-res buildings Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - New guidelines meant to standardize garbage and recycling bin requirements for multi-residential buildings left councillors with a slew of questions at a recent planning committee meeting. The design guidelines are aimed at preventing problems before they happen, said Melanie Knight, a planning staffer who worked on the guidelines. The document says property owners are responsible for constructing “proper and safe waste handling systems” for their buildings, and that the facilities must include room for garbage bins as well as recycling for blue-, blackand green-bin materials. Currently, there are no guidelines and the city doesn’t offer organics recycling for all multi-residential buildings. While a handful of apartments are part of a pilot project for green bin collection, many buildings don’t have the capacity to include another type of recycling bin. The guidelines aim to fix that. “Residents must have convenient access to facilitate their participation in the

recycling and organics programs,” the document states. But councillors on the city’s planning committee were concerned that putting guidelines in place might make it difficult for seniors to take out their trash. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais started off the debate on Nov. 13 by saying the guidelines seemed to have been “looked at in isolation,” without considering the city’s other plans, such as the Older Adult Plan. He and other councillors, including Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, were worried that a rule that waste bins must be no more than 100 metres from the dwelling might make it difficult for people with mobility challenges to get their garbage and recycling out. “It’s 100 metres there and 100 metres back,” Blais said. “For me, that’s OK, but for someone who has mobility issues or someone who is perhaps approaching retirement or (is a) senior, a 200-metre walk to bring the garbage to the garbage can, that can put a strain on your lifestyle.” A consultant who worked on the guidelines pointed out that there is currently no maximum distance for how far away from the building the owner can place waste re-

ceptacles. “We’re trying to fill a void,” Rory Baksh said. But Blais and Taylor said the distance is just one example of how a resident could be affected by the guidelines. The councillors worried that the list was aimed at pleasing city planners, developers and garbage collectors, but was not as concerned with whether it would serve the needs of residents. “It’s great to say it’s going to be more efficient or more attractive to look at and all these things these guidelines talk about, but how is it going to impact Joe and Jane Ottawa resident who is going to use it?” Blais asked. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she was also concerned the guidelines are “too grandiose” and she wondered who would monitor the requirements to ensure they weren’t making it difficult to maintain hygiene. “Are we really forgetting about the bigger picture?” she asked. Still, staff that worked on the project said without the guidelines there will be a bigger problem in the future. Councillors were satisfied with that and the planning committee approved the new guidelines with no changes.

FILE PHOTO

The city is looking to set new rules to ensure all types of recycling equipment – including green bins – are available at new multi-residential buildings. If approved by full council, the guidelines would be used at the site-plan stage

to guide developers and city staff on how to achieve the solid waste requirements for

new multi-residential buildings such as apartments and townhomes.

Hottest toys unveiled in time for Christmas Playthings tried and tested by children Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Santa’s job is a little easier now that the Canadian Toy Testing Council has unveiled the top 10 toys on the market for 2013. More than 500 children between the ages of six months and 12 years tested toys for a period of eight to 12 weeks. Their feedback formed the basis for the council’s Children’s Choice Awards, which it hands out annually just in time for the holiday shopping season. Though toys seem to increasingly require batteries or a high-tech touchscreen to operate, the council’s kid testers gravitated towards toys that involve a little imagination. For children under two, Little Tikes won for its DiscoverySounds activity garden that plays music and includes many windows and cubbies to explore. “I like the sounds that the garden makes,” said Ethan Gayed, 5, who announced the Children’s Choice Award for Little Tikes.

A Fisher Price kitchen and dining room set, complete with plastic pizza, cookies, dishes and pans was also a huge hit. “We can make food and

pretend to cook things,” said six-year-old Barrhaven resident Lyra Erhardt. “And then we can pretend to eat it.” Building toys were also

Ottawa resident Ethan Gayed, 5, announces a Children’s Choice Award for the Little Tikes DiscoverSounds activity garden at Algonquin College on Nov. 13. The Canadian Toy Testing Council awards the market’s best toys annually for ages six months to 12 and up. Ethan said he liked the garden because there are lots of things to do – crawling in and out, making music, opening the window and pushing buttons. popular. The Ed Creator DaVinci Block gears, which won in the three years and up category, use magnets to stick together in an infinite number of combinations and designs. Bill and Betty Bricks, which won for five-year-olds, are a set of traditional wooden blocks that turn into towering

skyscrapers in no time. Playmobil won for sevenyear-olds with its Future Planet ranger headquarters play set. While building the space station is fun, playing with it afterwards is the best part, said Dillon Snasdell-Taylor, a seven-year-old Carp resident

who announced Playmobil’s Children’s Choice Award. The Playmobil set did have one high-tech feature: a working solar panel that powers a large fan on top of the space headquarters. Board games like Pick N’ Choose – which requires players to sculpt, hum and act out clues – the rapid-fire jewel game Mine Shift and strategic ogre-outsmarting game Race to the Treasure all won awards as well. This is the council’s 60th anniversary, and Liliane Benoit said the independent toy testing authority relies on more than 200 Canadian families to determine which toys stand up to the test of safety and durability, how well they function and how much fun they deliver. Benoit said the non-profit organization aims to encourage the design, manufacture and distribution of toys and books that are sensitive to children’s needs.

Sports club honours long-standing members jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Sports Club honoured one of its longest-standing members at its weekly Hot Seat on Friday, Nov. 16. Lorne Weatherall, president of the club, presented Wayne Pilon with a plaque and an Ottawa Senators jacket. Pilon helped create and establish the Hot Seat 21 years ago. “I had the idea to do something on Friday afternoons,” said Pilon. “Everyone here thought I was nuts.” The Hot Seat – which is hosted by Kanata resident and radio personality Mark Papousek – features sports figures and athletes and has been held every Friday afternoon during the fall and winter

months since Pilon first mentioned the club should host a weekly event.

Anything I asked him, he’d do it. LORNE WEATHERALL PRESIDENT, KANATA SPORTS CLUB

“Wayne was the bartender and he said, ‘Mark, you know what? We should do something on Fridays,’” said Papousek. “It was just an idea Wayne and I had and we let it fly.”

The first event in 1991 drew around 30 people, Pilon said, adding they hosted golfers, anglers, curlers and football players in the beginning. Now, about 90 per cent of the Hot Seats involve hockey and the floor is packed. “It got going,” said Pilon with a smile. Pilon has held a number of positions as a member of the club, as a bartender, creator of the Hot Seat and master of the 50/50 draw. But he had to take a step back after he suffered a stroke, said Weatherall. “Anything I asked him, he’d do it. (He’s) just a great, great guy,” said Weatherall. Pilon’s wife Venita, also a member of the sports club, was presented with a bouquet of roses, “for all her help,” said Weatherall.

The March Rural Community Association welcomed long-time residents to its meeting Nov. 13 at the Old Town Hall in South March. Among the attendees were Ann Ward, Barbara Vance, Eddie Vance, Judy Vance, Bill Murphy, Gary Maxwell, Dale Vance, Brian Ward and association president Judy Makin. “There is no place like home,” he said. “We had to walk to school; there was no bus then.” Fortunately for Eddie, his neighbor was a teacher at one of the five one-room schools in the area and he was able to hitch a ride on the horse and buggy. But he was not able to attend high school as that would have required transport to Carp or Nepean, something his family could not do. “We had a one-room school where the cosmetic surgery business is today. We had one teacher teaching all grades from kindergarten to Grade 8 in the same room, but we didn’t call them grades in those days.”

Barbara Vance was able to ride to school on her horse while years later Eddie drove a school bus to carry rural children to school. Closer to the town hall was the March House, which was often a retail outlet with a residence on the second floor. The attendees recalled the house being a general store, art gallery, post office and pool hall at different times. Eddie sold snowmobiles from that location in the early 1970s. Where the Shoppers Drug Mart stands today, another store owned by Jack Nichols stood. Behind it was the only ice skating rink in the area. A pool was added on the site in the 1960s.

THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY PROVIDES THE WHEELS OF HOPE TO HELP CANCER PATIENTS GET TO THEIR TREATMENTS. For many, Wheels of hope is a life line. It can be the difference between getting to cancer treatment or not. Single mom Chelsie Geib knows all too well how difficult it can be to manage a family and make it to sometimes daily appointments; “Do you know what is worse than being diagnosed with cancer? Not being able to get to the appointments you need to save your life. When I had lost all hope my final call was to the Canadian Cancer Society, who informed me of their free service that helps people like me get to the hospital for appointments. Knowing I could turn to the Society felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I really could fight this disease – and win.” Canadian Cancer Society volunteer drivers help people like Chelsie fight back against cancer. In Ottawa alone last year, Society volunteers drove a total of 90, 781 km to ensure that people got to their radiation and chemotherapy treatments. The program is free for cancer patients and is especially vital for people without the financial means or nearby friends and family to help make the often daily trips to their appointments.

EMC news - There was a time when the old town hall in South March was the centre of activity. It was a meeting hall, gathering place and municipal seat for the township, which thrived on farm life. A gathering on Nov. 13 at the Old Town Hall, located at 821 March Rd., brought together many of the area’s long-time resident families to reminisce and trade stories. Presented by the March Rural Community Association, the evening was not unlike social activities of years gone by. About 20 people, some whose families date back generations in the area, revealed what they knew about the area and how it developed into being the former city of Kanata and a high-tech community, now a part of the greater city of Ottawa. Association president Judy Makin welcomed the group and facilitated the discussion with the assistance of Brian Ward. “Many of our guests are descendants of the original families living in the area,” said Makin. Part of the discussion focused on some of the old buildings and homes that still exist in the area, such as the Pinhey home, March House, and the Old Town Hall. Eddie Vance, the most senior attendee who dates back to January 1924, told the gathering of what life was like when he was a boy.

“We used to shop in Carp when we needed things that we didn’t produce in the farm,” said Barbara. “At one time, there were five general stores in Carp. I used to buy my Christmas gifts there.” One of the biggest undertakings was when farmers gathered their goods to be sold at the market in downtown Ottawa. “As kids, most of our food was produced on the farm, so it was a big deal when we went into Ottawa to shop. My family sold homemade butter, eggs and other farm goods at the market.” Many farmers made the trek to the market, often leaving before dawn in summer and not arriving home until after dark. “It was almost an overnight trip,” said Stewart Carroll, a fifth-generation resident of March Road who still farms land there. In some instances, farmers would herd their cattle to the market. Others travelled to Lincoln Fields where they could load produce onto a trolley to make the final journey to market. As development changed the landscape, some of the old properties were subdivided or sold and contributed to urban sprawl. Today much of the area has been engulfed by the city with the high-tech corridor, housing and shopping centres. Nonetheless, for the farm families of South March, there is still a sense of community that binds the group. For example, it was the March Rural Community Association that helped when Eddie was a township councillor in the 1970s. “Part of the rural area didn’t want to go to Kanata,” he recalled. Eddie also owned the Mr. Gas outlet which used to be on March Road near Dunrobin Road. He operated that business from 1955 to 1983. “Having your own business and being a councillor is a tricky thing to maintain.” The March Rural Community Association meets on the second Wednesday of each month at the Old Town Hall. Everyone is welcome.

EMC news - A Bridlewood woman who offered to shave her head to raise funds for cancer research has lopped off her locks after surpassing her goal. Bahareh Tabrizi held a shaving party at her home on Nov. 10 to celebrate raising more than $6,700 for the Canadian Cancer Society, beating her original goal of $5,000. “I did it!� wrote Tabrizi in an email. “I’m officially bald. Saturday night was the event and it was so great.� Her husband, Frank Bolduc, and father Asghar Tabrizi, as well as a few other volunteers, all went bald for the cause. “My husband and father and a couple of others also shaved their heads to raise even more money,� she said, adding around 40 people turned out to celebrate and

support the fundraiser. “I’m so proud of my friends, family and colleagues.� The 34-year-old is number six on the Canadian Cancer Society’s individual fundraiser list. Although the weather is getting colder, Tabrizi said she doesn’t mind being bald. “Being bald is so liberating,� she said. “And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the five minute showers. Although, it is definitely a lot colder outside now; (I’m) glad I have some cute toques.� Tabrizi wanted to do something more to raise funds for cancer research after she lost her mother, Rafat, to brain cancer 11 years ago. Diagnosed on Nov. 10, 2000, Rafat succumbed to the illness after 18 months. “I’ve always done various fundraisers to raise money for cancer, but it’s been a matter of a couple of hundred dollars

Kanata-based band Rothwell and Moffatt perform at last year’s sold out Songs for a Winter’s Night concert at the National Arts Centre’s Fourth Stage. This year’s event will take place on Dec. 8.

Songs for a Winter’s Night kicks off the holiday season Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s not the typical Christmas concert but Rothwell and Moffatt’s upcoming Songs for a Winter’s Night performance is sure to put people in the holiday spirit. “It’s not Christmas carols by any means,” said vocalist Stephanie Rothwell, one third of the Kanata-based folk-rock band. “But we have a winter theme…It’s a wonderful evening of entertainment.” Now in its third year, Songs for a Winter’s Night will be held at the National Arts Centre’s Fourth Stage on Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. “This show is a great way to kick off the holiday season,” said Jeff Moffatt, a Beaver-

brook resident. “You’re going to be entertained.” Last year’s concert was a sold-out event, drawing a crowd of around 200 people. “It’s sort of taken on a life of its own,” said Moffatt. “We channel a lot of our focus…on this show.” This year’s family-friendly event will feature a dramatic and theatrical feel with more audience participation, said Moffatt, who is a vocalist and guitarist. “You will get a lot of variety,” he said, adding the band will showcase some new material. Holding the concert on the NAC’s low-key Fourth Stage also allows a more intimate feel, he said, adding the band had the opportunity to grow the event this year but wanted

to keep it small. “We didn’t want to spoil the specialness of the event,” said Moffatt. “We wanted to keep it unique.” The musical group, which also includes Stephanie’s sister Emily Rothwell on vocals, has been working together for 15 years. “We’re all driven by the music,” said Stephanie, who lives in Village Green. “We have a love of music.” Rothwell and Moffatt, which will release the new track River this month, also includes drummer Steph McAlear, guitarist Fred Guignon and bassist Mike Liepe. “We have a band that is very capable,” said Moffatt. “You’re guaranteed to be entertained. They’re very talented players.” Opening the evening will be

Scottish-Canadian singer and songwriter Bobby Watt, who was also a special guest at last year’s concert. “He’s got an amazing baritone voice,” said Moffatt. “And he got rave reviews,”

said Stephanie. “He’s very different from what we do.” Tickets for Songs for a Winter’s Night can be purchased online at nac-cna.ca, through Ticketmaster or in person at the NAC box office. For more

information on Rothwell and Moffatt, visit rothwellandmoffatt.com or like them on Facebook. “We’re always looking for new friends and fans,” said Moffatt.

Bieber tickets raise $6,500 for Ottawa autism charity EMC news - The winning bid for two tickets to a Justin Bieber Believe Tour Concert at Scotiabank Place on Nov. 23 brought in $6,500. The prize includes a chance to meet Bieber and a dinner for two at RARE Restaurant & Bar along with limousine service for the evening from Royalty Limousine Service. Suzanne Jacobson, direc-

tor of QuickStart - Early Intervention for Autism, was thrilled to find her charity the recipient of a generous donation from Justin Bieber and Ottawa’s own Dan Kanter, a musical director and guitarist. The winner of the auction, who bid anonymously, congratulated the organization on “the good work they are doing for early intervention and awareness for children

with autism.” The winner said he has “a number of friends with young children who have been diagnosed with autism.” Jacobson was delighted with the auction and its outcome. “We are very pleased with the success of the auction and are happy that so many people are interested in supporting the work we do at QuickStart,” she said.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

There is no point in speculating about your finances, Sagittarius. Keep track of your deposits and withdrawals so you have a handle on all accounts. Now is not the time to leap without looking, Capricorn. You have to be cautious with your choices and actions this time of the month. Don’t make waves so close to the holidays.

Virgo, there are too many messes to clean up, so instead of digging in you may just decide to procrastinate a little longer. Just be sure to make up the time later on.

There is no need to put off romantic endeavors, Cancer. Make time to further relationships, and you will be happier for having made the additional effort. Leo, a casual encounter with an old friend goes by like no time has elapsed at all. Agree to keep in touch and spend more time together going forward.
