EMC news - As the mayor and city clerk as-sured councillors that Ottawa would get a new revenue-sharing agreement if a new casino is built, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corpo-ration confi rmed that wasn’t the case.

During a city council meeting on Nov. 14, city clerk and solicitor Rick O’Connor assured city councillors that a new money-distribu-tion agreement for the slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway would not be binding on a new facil-ity, as the OLG looks for a private developer to build a new casino in Ottawa.

“We’re going to have a new arrangement and a new agreement if council decides on a new casino,” Mayor Jim Watson said. That under-

standing was based on discussions he has had with the OLG over the past couple of weeks, Watson said.

Not so, says OLG spokesman Tony Bitonti.“(The current agreement) will apply to a

new casino as well,” Bitonti said. “The new agreement takes effect April 1 (2013), and then if and when a new casino is built, that will be the same funding agreement with the City of Ottawa.

“Nothing changes.”O’Connor confi rmed there are a couple of

outstanding process issues he needs to get an-swers on. One issue that still needs to be clari-fi ed is a provision tying the new agreement to the location of the current slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

EMC news - The music is fading at the Osgoode Old Tyme Music and Dancing Club.

For 30 years, the country and western dance club has offered musicians and music lovers an evening of foot-stomping entertainment once a month at the Osgoode Com-munity Centre. But the fun is coming to an end.

Declining membership – largely due to the aging pop-ulation – has cut revenue at a time when rent and insurance are only going up.

“We don’t have enough members to keep it going, unfortunately,” said treasurer Barb Brogan. “We don’t want to close it down but we don’t have much choice.”

Brogan said the club used to be 200 members strong, but that has declined to only about 65 members. As the older members die or become un-able to attend, there are very few younger members signing up to take their place.

Brogan said many members are in their 70s and 80s, and a few are in their 90s. Only two or three couples are in their 50s, she said.

That kind of membership is unsustainable.

“We’ve tried (attracting young people) over the years,” she said. “We’ve tried ev-erything. All of the clubs are fi nding the same thing as we have.”

Seven clubs in the area in-cluding North Gower, Greely, Vernon, Barrhaven and Otta-wa’s west end have all faced declining memberships, Bro-gan said. Some have also con-sidered closing their doors.

Past-president Eugene Gor-gichuck served seven years at the helm, and said it is “heart-wrenching” to shut the doors after celebrating the club’s 30th anniversary in October.

“It’s defi nitely a bitter thing

for us,” Gorgichuck said. “The club served as an opportunity for so many seniors to get to-gether and do something other than sit at home and watch TV.”

While it’s true that the pop-ulation of people interested in traditional country music is declining, Gorgichuk said the club had other options to keep going, such as increasing membership fees and trying harder to attract more mem-bers.

“Not everyone was in agreement that every effort was made to save the club,” he said.

Gorgichuk added that the club’s constitution requires all property to be sold for charity when it dissolves. The club’s collection of instruments and other items were indeed sold, but not at the AGM as Gor-gichuk said they should have been.

“They were already sold for a lump sum of $1,000,” he said, adding that he felt an auction would have raised a larger sum. “An open auction could have earned some char-ity a lot more money.”

It is not yet decided which charity will receive the funds.

During Gorgichuk’s time as president between 1993 and 1999, the club had a wait-ing list of 20 couples. The club began a newsletter full of club events, member news and humour. Gorgichuk began inducting new musicians into the club with a special string tie featuring the club’s fi ddle emblem, and the club spon-sored the annual (and now de-funct) Russell Jamboree.

The club even tried to im-plement a youth hour where young musicians could come and play at the monthly danc-es, but it was a tough sell.

“It’s all older people and I guess the younger people just don’t dig that,” Gorgichuk said.

The club also partnered with the Grand Master Fid-dling Association, which at-tracts the best fi ddlers in the country, to exchange musi-cians every August when the association holds its annual competition in Ottawa.

The Osgoode club would send a group of musicians to participate in the Grand Masters event, and some of Canada’s best fi ddlers would entertain club members at the Osgoode Community Centre.

“There were just such great, great times for so many people,” Gorgichuk said.

The club will host one last dance on Friday, Nov. 23 be-ginning at 7:30 p.m. While non-members must still pay the $7 admission fee, as a spe-

cial treat the cake and sand-wiches will be offered free of charge. The event will be “a round-up” of members and memories, Brogan said.

Like all the other dances, the live music will begin at 7:30 p.m. and continue un-til 11:30, when the club will close its doors forever.

The evening will be bar-tended by Mark and Larry Al-exander, who have been fulfi ll-ing that same duty since their father Fred Alexander founded the club 30 years ago.

Brogan, who has been trea-surer for 26 years, said the club represented a rural way of life from her childhood.

“It’s what we were raised with at house parties; some-one bringing a guitar and fi d-dle and playing music,” said the 75-year-old.

Local � ddlers closing their doors foreverContinued from the front

O’Connor said it’s his un-derstanding that if the race-way wins a bid to become the new casino, the OLG could choose to either keep the same money-sharing agreement or come back to the city with a new offer.

“That sounds like an odd situation,” said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney.

Attempts to negotiate with the OLG have not received a good reception, O’Connor said.

The corporation was hesi-tant to even adjust the text of the agreement to include the proper legal name of the City of Ottawa, O’Connor said.

There is very little oppor-tunity for dialog on the terms of the agreement, he said, adding that it is “akin to a

mother giving an allowance to her child.”

Despite questioning the agreement, city councillors voted 20-3 to approve the new revenue-sharing deal, which has no expiry date.

Over the past fi ve years, the city has received be-tween $4.3 and $4.4 million annually from 1,250 slot ma-chines at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

The new agreement would put $1.3 million more into the city’s coffers each year if slot revenue remains the same. The agreement means the city gets 5.25 per cent of the fi rst $65 million of net slot revenue, three per cent on the next $135 million, 2.5 per cent of the next $300 million and half a per cent of the remainder of net slot revenue.

RBC secures new cardiac machines for Winchester hospitalEmma [email protected]

EMC news - Exactly one year after the hospital’s fund-raising campaign began, a set of four urgently needed cardiac monitors have been purchased for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital’s operating recovery room.

The RBC Foundation took the campaign over the top with a $5,000 donation on Nov. 6, allowing the hospital to finally purchase the $70,500 worth of equipment.

The remaining funds came from individual donors and community events, including a very successful golf tour-nament this summer that was sponsored by a local RBC branch.

The four new monitors are needed to replace the current machines, which are used to monitor heart rate, blood pres-sure and other vital statistics after a patient has undergone surgery.

Since the recovery room is

equipped with four beds, there is a need for a cardiac monitor at each bed for the more than 4,400 patients who recover there every year.

However, the hospital’s current machines don’t work properly and Winchester has been borrowing equipment from CHEO until it can buy new equipment, according to fund development manager Chelsea McIntyre.

Each machine cost just under $20,000 and should be installed by the end of March, McIntyre said.

The hospital had originally been quoted $80,000 for the monitors, but the hospital directors decided that one component was non-essential. That lowered the total cost by nearly $10,000.

Individual donations were solicited through more than 20,000 letters to patients and past donors.

More than 500 gifts were made in support of the new machines, McIntyre said. “We want to thank not just RBC, but all the donors who gave $70,000 and change,” she said.

Winchester RBC branch manager and area resident Marieke van Noppen-Mul-ligan presented the $5,000 donation to the hospital foun-dation’s Brent Tower, who sits on the foundation board and also works for RBC.

“I’m so grateful on behalf of the WDMH Foundation as a recipient of this gift and I’m proud to be a part of both of these organizations,” Tower said in a statement.

Winchester District Me-morial Hospital Foundation’s purpose is to raise funds to support the hospital in provid-ing “the very best of health care close to home for the residents, who are the heart of our community, and whose wellbeing depends on this fundamental right.”

Fentanyl abuse a growing concern for parentsNevil [email protected]

EMC news - Try and try again.

People who are addicted to the drug Fentanyl may have to try rehab over and over again before they fi nally kick the powerful painkiller.

That’s not the message many people wanted to hear during a meeting at Manotick United Church on Nov. 14, but it’s reality according to a counsellor with Rideauwood Addiction and Family Ser-vices.

The meeting switched back and forth from cold, clinical facts about Fentanyl to emo-tional dialogue about the ef-fect the powerful drug has had on local families. More than 50 people attended; many ap-peared to be the right age to have teenaged children.

Last August, 17-year-old Tyler Campbell of Manotick died of an overdose of Fen-tanyl. The public meeting was organized by MPP Lisa Ma-cLeod, who invited Ottawa police offi cers, Dr. Melanie Willows of the Royal Ot-tawa Mental Health Centre and Rideauwood’s Amanda Neilson. Experts on hand said Fentanyl abuse often pops up in small pockets, affecting one community while sparing oth-

ers nearby. Manotick and the nearest high school – St. Mark Catholic – have been seriously affected by the drug’s use and the property crime that comes with it, as users steal to pay for their next drug purchase.

Fentanyl is a prescrip-tion pain killer that comes in patch form and is meant to be worn on the skin and absorbed slowly over a period of two or three days. Addicts remove the gel from inside the patch and either smoke or inject it, releasing all the potency of the drug in one quick burst.

Willows said many teens will experiment with drugs but an opiate like Fentanyl – which is much more po-tent than morphine – is much higher risk, in part because us-ers can become addicted very quickly. Willows and Neilson stressed that addiction can happen to anyone.

“You didn’t cause it,” Neil-son told the audience. “You can’t control it.”

Neilson said parents of ad-dicts can cope. She said fear and anger are natural respons-es to fi nding out a child is ad-dicted to a drug, but parents must deal with those emo-tions and then move forward, getting professional help as needed. She said education and understanding are key, “but it doesn’t have to happen

all on your own.”Rideauwood Addiction

and Family Services can be reached at 613-724-4881 or at www.rideauwood.org.

One member of the audi-ence said there isn’t enough support for families affected by Fentanyl addiction, add-ing that teens who have gone through rehab quickly return to using the drug.

“There will be another death,” she said. “I couldn’t care less about break and enters. The resources aren’t there. They’re not working.”

MacLeod said there ap-peared to be a consensus that another community meeting will be needed and she en-couraged attendees to speak one-on-one with the experts on hand after the question-and-answer session.

Prior to the meeting, Ma-cLeod said there has been a lot of interest in Fentanyl abuse in the community.

“Tonight is about bringing people together, getting the right people at the table,” she said.

Police offi cers at the meet-ing suggested people with prescriptions for Fentanyl dispose of used, surplus or ex-pired patches properly. Drug stores will accept the return of any unused prescription medi-cines for proper disposal.

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Dennis Westwell speaks about the death of his 17-year-old grandson from an overdose of Fentanyl during a public meeting to discuss abuse of the drug. The emotional meeting was held in Manotick on Nov. 14.

EMC news - During a public meeting in Manotick on Nov. 14, Dr. Melanie Willows of the Royal Ot-tawa Mental Health Centre outlined the ways a Fentanyl user may appear after using the drug.

Signs include:* Small, pin-point pupils;* Drowsiness;* Slurred speech;*Poor attention or

memory.Users who smoke the gel

from Fentanyl patches may dispose of charred pieces of aluminum foil, which they use to hold the gel as they

heat it. Straws or hollow ball-

point pen casings may be used to inhale the smoke.

When an addict hasn’t used the drug for a period of time, they may begin to show withdrawal symptoms such as:

* Anxiety;* Irritability and anger;* Nausea, vomiting;* Sweats and chills;* Insomnia.Addicts who enter pro-

fessional treatment often receive medicines that al-leviate symptoms of with-drawal.

EMC news - The Met-calfe Lions kicked off a ma-jor fundraising campaign last week with a $10,000 donation to the Township of Osgoode Care Centre.

The cheque changed hands on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Metcalfe Lions Den, marking the fi rst major contribution to the care centre’s campaign to raise $500,000 to upgrade the not-for-profi t chronic care fa-cility on Snake Island Road.

“It’s truly overwhelming to think they’re so generous to our cause,” said Wendy Hill, the centre’s community rela-tions manager. She said the Lions have been strong sup-porters for the centre since the beginning.

The chronic care facil-ity was built largely through community fundraising in the 1980s, and it is once again calling on residents in the former township of Osgoode and surrounding areas to help repair and replace a long list of items.

Over the next two years, ex-ecutive director Lori Dudley and her staff need to replace the roof, update the heating and air conditioning system and install a backup generator – projects costing more than $100,000 each.

Replacing each of the hi-lo specialty beds will cost $2,500, for a total of $245,000 for 98 new beds. New fl oors in residents’ rooms, where tiles are coming up and pos-ing a safety hazard, will cost as much as $2,300 per room. Equipment like sit-stand lifts

and a point-of-care computer-ization system are also badly needed.

REAL PEOPLE

Staff also want to replace aging dining room tables, bedroom furniture and decor as well, because, after all, the centre is home to 100 people.

“This is a home with real people,” said Hill. “They have a history and have lived their lives.”

Metcalfe Lions president Kim Sheldrick said the com-munity service group is happy to support the care centre be-cause it is home to so many local residents.

“Everybody there is from the area. Everybody knows somebody in there,” Sheldrick said. “We just wanted to kick off their campaign with a sub-stantial amount of money.”

The cash was raised by the Lions through the weekly canteen at the Metcalfe farm-ers market and fair, as well us special events.

The Lions’ donation comes just in time for the centre to unveil its new Giving Tree, a decorative feature in the cen-tre’s atrium that will thank do-nors for their contributions.

Gold, silver and bronze leaves will be added to the tree’s branches as donations come in, and the tree’s reach will continue growing around the atrium as more leaves are added.

On Nov. 29, the centre will host a free wine and cheese event to unveil the tree and place the fi rst leaves upon it. The Lions’ leaf will be added, along with the other donors

have already given $24,000 collectively to the campaign.

Hill said Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod will be on hand to help dedi-cate the new fi xture.

The wooden tree trunk and branches were hand drawn and cut, and the leaves will be made of aluminum, copper and brass. Hill said the leaves will double as a decoration and a legacy; families can engrave them in memory of their loved one or businesses can recognize their fi nancial contribution.

“People need to be recog-nized for their generosity to the care centre and the people who live here need to know who have supported the care centre,” Hill said. “This will be an everlasting tree that will not only be pretty but serves a purpose.”

Hill is also planning a com-munity fundraiser for Febru-ary that she hopes will collect as much as $15,000 toward their goal. Busting out the Brews will offer an evening of beer tasting, live music and dancing and a chili cook-off.

On Feb. 1, several micro-breweries from across the re-gion will offer samples, which will be paired with appetizers and samples from local restau-rants. The Gang will provide live blues music and a mix of other tunes, and several local real estate agents will face off over their Crock-Pots.

Silent and live auctions will round out the evening.

To donate or to purchase event tickets for February, contact Hill at 613-821-1034, ext 248.

Metcalfe Lions give $10,000 to care centre Campaign hopes to raise $500,000 in a year

EMC news – Volunteers will help the Township of Os-goode Care Centre prepare for the Christmas season on Dec. 6, as part of the United Way’s community action day.

Three volunteers have signed up to work directly with the residents of the chronic care facility to deco-rate for the holiday season and bake shortbread cookies with

residents. Reminiscing about the Christmas season is a big part of the day, a volunteer listing said. The Royal Bank in Metcalfe donates funds for the care centre to purchase a small gift for each resident, and volunteers will help wrap these 100 gifts. Many resi-dents would also like to send Christmas cards to family or friends, as they may have al-

ways done each Christmas, but now need some assis-tance to write a little note in-side or address the envelope. Volunteers will also help with this task.

The day will include some entertainment in the after-noon, where volunteers can enjoy some festive music with the residents to help them get into the spirit of the season.

Community action days are part of a collaboration be-tween United Way and Volun-teer Ottawa. The initiative in-vites workplace volunteers to get involved with their com-munity service providers to help with a variety of projects, from serving food to seniors to refreshing a community centre’s coat of paint.

Editorial Policy

THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTIONShould revenue sharing terms for a new casino be a factor in the city’s decision to allow one to be built?

A) Yes. If OLG won’t off er the same terms as the new slots deal, we shouldn’t allow a new casino.

B) No. The broader economic impact of a new casino is enough to go ahead.

C) No. We shouldn’t be building a new casino under any circumstances.

D) I don’t care. It all seems like a political shell game anyway.

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARYHow should the city encourage growth in job-depressed areas?

A) Off er businesses a ‘tax holiday’ to set up shop in job-poor wards such as Orléans.

B) Invest in transit, infrastructure to attract businesses.

C) Off er citywide incentives – council shouldn’t favour individual wards.

D) Do nothing. It’s up to the market to determine economic activity.

I went to fi ll 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 fi lled 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 Queen-sway 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 fi rst 20 minutes on Heron Road were spent wondering why nobody was moving, es-pecially 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 fi ddle with your phone to fi nd 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 conclu-sion: We have all kinds of information avail-able 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 fi xed. We will have the equivalent of smartphones im-planted 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 informa-tion, 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 fi nd it. Strange as it may seem, we may one day look nostalgically back on being stuck in traffi c, on Heron Road, blissful in our ignorance on the way to the Idiot Drivers Hall of Fame.

Awaiting the pre-population explosion

Funny Town

The city should be applauded for mov-ing 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-residen-tial 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 landfi ll into coloured recycling bins, we’ll fi ll up the dump and be forced to send our waste fur-ther afi eld. The cost will be enormous – just as the cost of building a new landfi ll 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 build-ings. 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 re-view would require landlords to construct waste handling

systems for future buildings.The cost of adding recy-

cling space during the con-struction of a new building is minimal when compared to retrofi tting. It’s a small price to pay and the sooner new buildings come with recycling space, the more waste can be diverted from the landfi ll.

Given that the city is en-couraging intensifi ed devel-opment, 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 apart-ment entrances, people with mobility issues will have a hard time participating. Councillors are understand-ably worried about putting in place a policy that may leave residents on the outside looking in.

Hopefully this will be the fi rst step towards adapting the green bin program to work at existing multi-unit 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 retrofi tted 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 fi le.

Taking green bin recycling to new heights

EMC news - Santa’s job is a little easier now that the Ca-nadian Toy Testing Council has unveiled the top 10 toys on the market for 2013.

More than 500 children be-tween 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 Chil-dren’s Choice Awards, which it hands out annually just in time for the holiday shopping season.

Though toys seem to in-creasingly require batteries or a high-tech touchscreen to operate, the council’s kid tes-ters gravitated towards toys that involve a little imagina-tion.

For children under two, Little Tikes won for its Dis-coverySounds 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 resi-dent Lyra Erhardt. “And then we can pretend to eat it.”

Building toys were also popular. The Ed Creator Da-Vinci block gears, which won in the three years and up cat-egory, use magnets to stick together in an infi nite number of combinations and designs.

Bill and Betty Bricks, which won for fi ve-year-olds, are a set of traditional wooden blocks that turn into towering skyscrapers in no time.

Playmobil won for seven-year-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 work-ing 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-fi re jewel game Mine Shift and strategic ogre-outsmarting game Race to the Treasure all won awards as well.

A Swiss-made fi nger bil-liards game won a children’s choice award for ages four and up, another example of an educational and interac-tive game that caught kids’ attention.

This is the council’s 60th anniversary. Liliane Benoit said the independent toy test-ing authority relies on more than 200 Canadian fami-lies 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-profi t organization aims to encour-age the design, manufacture and distribution of toys and books that are sensitive to children’s needs.

Half a Million Canadians Claim

Children’s Arts Tax Credit

Since being elected in 2006, our Conservative Government has established a number of important tax relief measures including the new Children’s Arts Tax Credit. We all want the best for our children, and I know that many families right here in Nepean-Carleton are working hard to ensure theirs can participate in artistic and cultural activities. I am committed to supporting these hardworking families help their children reach their full potential. In 2011, nearly 500,000 Canadians claimed the credit on their tax returns. It is wonderful to see so many families taking advantage of this opportunity.

The Children’s Arts Tax Credit helps with the cost of organized artistic and cultural activities. When children take part in eligible art programs, families can claim the cost of those programs, up to a maximum of $500 per child, on their income tax and benefit returns. This means saving as much as $75 on their tax bill for each child’s programs. In addition, families can also claim the children’s fitness tax credit, also up to a maximum of $500 per child, for eligible programs – a proposal which I successfully had included in Budget 2006.

We understand that families have a difficult time making ends meet, and that is why we will continue to offer programs like this to them. The average family of four now receives more than $3,000 in extra tax savings, and the federal tax burden for all Canadians is now the lowest it has been in half a century. Our Government remains committed to and focused on economic growth, the creation of jobs, and the long-term economic prosperity of Canadians.

I encourage you to check the Canada Revenue Agency’s website for more information about all of the credits and tax savings you may eligible for. Remember, save your receipts for 2012 as you can start claiming these credits on your income tax benefit return when you file your taxes in early 2013.

EMC News - Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper made a surprise visit to the Glen Cairn Tennis Club on Nov. 14, participating in a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

The prime minister arrived shortly before the start of the event, walking up Oriole Ave. accompanied by members of his protective detail.

“I had asked the prime min-ister (that) if he wasn’t busy this evening, if he wouldn’t mind coming out and be our official Christmas tree light-er,” said Colin McSweeney, a vice-president of the Glen Cairn Community Associa-tion 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. The event was organized by the Glen Cairn Community Association, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and the Kourier-Stan-dard.

The event was attended by Carleton-Mississippi Mills

MP Gordon O’Connor and MPP Jack MacLaren.

Christmas Décor by Nu-tri-Lawn decorated the ever-green tree, which is located on 70 Castlefrank Rd., near the intersection of McKitrick Drive.

Hot chocolate and cookies were served during the event.

Derrick Curren, who came up with the idea of holding a Christmas tree lighting cer-emony, didn’t know the prime minister would attend the

event. “I knew something was

taking place when I saw the trenchcoats (of the prime min-ister’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 op-portunity.

“I can’t, (because) I’ve got the dog,” she said, pointing at the family golden retriever, Taffy.

“He said, ‘That’s OK, bring the dog in.’”

The pride of Oz-goodeStephanie La Rochelle performs Over the Rainbow during council’s Nov. 14 meeting. The Greely resident was the runner-up in CBC’s contest to choose Mirvish’s Dorothy for its production of Wizard of Oz in Toronto this winter.


eMC news - Greely’s com-munity theatre troupe is leav-ing Broadway tunes behind for its first community Christ-mas celebration this holiday.

the Greely Players will host its first “Christmas in the Village” variety show at Parkway Pentecostal Church from 7 to 9 p.m. on nov. 30 and dec. 1.

organizer Joan Bruce-ni-bogie said the lineup promises an evening of laughter, song and fellowship.

“We are offering quite an array of Christian and popular music, dramatic readings, and it’s all Christmas themed,” she said.

a 21-person adult choir and an 11-person children’s and teen choir have been created from past and present Greely Players cast and crew.

a comedy sketch will bring out the season’s funnier side and, before everyone goes home, the choirs will lead the audience in a carol sing-a-long.

Bruce-nibogie, who has been involved with the Greely Players for years, said she has been hoping to produce such a Christmas show for several seasons.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a few years, keeping in mind that there are individual church Christmas concerts, but nothing for the commu-nity at large,” she said.

“the Greely Players has such talent, and I really want-ed to bring that to the fore as a celebration, to share the voic-es with the community.”

a number of choir mem-bers will sing solos through-out the evening.

In the children’s choir, Isa-bella Kondrat, tim robillard, eric Laycock, Matt Chin and Morgan Piironen will all take centre stage, and Chin will perform a duet with Greely Players president Holly Vil-leneuve.

Bruce-nibogie will also perform the Huron Carol with the help of the children’s choir.

Being Mohawk, she said it is very meaningful to per-form the haunting carol for the crowd.

“It’s very, very special,” she said. “I’m going to wear my native shawl for that number.”

the theatre group has part-nered with Parkway Pente-costal to rent their brand new sanctuary, which is decked out with state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment.

But the evening is a fund-raiser for the South Glouces-ter united Church, which has offered free rehearsal space to the choirs since they began in September.

the church will sell re-freshments and host a silent auction during the event. Pro-ceeds from ticket sales will also go to the church.

tickets are $10 per person, and children under five can at-tend for free.

“We wanted to really make it affordable for the communi-ty, and because we’re partner-ing with these two churches we can do that. It’s a real gift,” Bruce-nibogie said.

tickets can be purchased by calling 613-821-1756 or 613-826-3680.

EMC news - New guide-lines meant to standardize garbage and recycling bin re-quirements for multi-residen-tial buildings left councillors with a slew of questions at a recent planning committee meeting.

The design guidelines are aimed at preventing prob-lems before they happen, said Melanie Knight, a planning staffer who worked on the guidelines.

The document says prop-erty 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-, black- and green-bin materials.

Currently, there are no guidelines and the city doesn’t offer organics recy-cling for all multi-residential buildings. While a handful of apartments are part of a pilot project for green bin collec-tion, many buildings don’t have the capacity to include another type of recycling bin. The guidelines aim to fi x that.

“Residents must have con-venient access to facilitate their participation in the recy-cling and organics programs,” the document states.

But councillors on the city’s planning committee were concerned that putting guidelines in place might make it diffi cult for seniors to take out their trash. Cum-berland Coun. Stephen Blais started off the debate on Nov. 13 by saying the guidelines seemed to have been “looked

at in isolation,” without con-sidering 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 diffi cult for people with mo-bility challenges to get their garbage and recycling out.

“It’s 100 metres there and 100 metres back,” Blais said. “For someone who has mo-bility issues ... 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 fi ll a void,” Rory Baksh said.

But Blais and Taylor said the distance is just one exam-ple of how a resident could be affected by the guidelines. The councillors worried that the list was aimed at pleas-ing city planners, developers and garbage collectors, but was not as concerned with whether it would serve resi-dents’ needs.

“It’s great to say it’s going to be more effi cient or more attractive to look at and all these things these guidelines talk about, but how is it going to impact Joe and Jane Ot-tawa 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 won-dered who would monitor the requirements to ensure they weren maintaining 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. The planning committee ap-proved the new guidelines with no changes.

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.

It seemed to me that not much money changed hands back in the De-pression.

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 summertime, 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 Gen-eral 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, 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. Mur-phy, 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 fi rm in Toronto.

It had to be cold hard cash.But it wasn’t unusual to

see Mother making a deal at Scott’s Hardware or Aiken-head 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 con-tinually 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 Depres-sion that closed in around them.

Although we depended heavily on the hand me down boxes that came regularly from from Aunt Lizzie in Re-gina, 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 sales-men and it was hard to resist their wares.

It wasn’t unusual for Mother, when she had bought over her limit to start barter-ing with them.

They bantered back and forth and when the salesmen realized there wasn’t enough money to pay for what Moth-er had chosen, they could ei-ther take the couple pounds of butter and a few eggs, or pack up and leave. They usually ac-cepted the barter. It seemed to me back then, that bartering was simply a way of life.

There was no embarrass-ment to trading one thing for another. It was just another tool that helped people of the 1930s survive.

EMC news - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

That’s the message that se-niors at a Rotary Club fraud prevention presentation heard at the Orléans branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Nov. 14.

The ABCs of Fraud presen-tation, which is endorsed by Ottawa police, has been going to different library branches this fall to educate seniors.

West Ottawa Rotary Club members Bob Harrison and Linas Pilypaitis spoke to a group of seniors at the Orléans branch. Seniors are more vul-nerable to fraud due of several factors, and are often seen as more susceptible, Harrison said.

“When I grew up, I was trusting someone with a hand-shake,” he said. “The doors in my house were never locked.”

These days, scams are a dime a dozen and it’s impor-tant that people – especially those more vulnerable to scams – take steps to protect themselves.

While just over half of all scams arrive by email or elec-tronic communication, there are also telephone and door-to-door scammers. A scam is where someone is supposed to give you something for your

money. They’ll end up giving nothing or something –not ex-actly as promised.

“Everyone in the world is trying to get your money,” Pi-lypaitis said.

The pair acted out an ex-ample of a scam for a fake se-curity company. Harrison, the fake security salesman, sold Pilypaitis, acting as a senior, a heavily discounted alarm system. Besides providing a down payment Pilypaitis let Harrison do a full scope of the house, and let him know dates when there would be no-body home – leaving an empty house to rob.

“Nobody needs to know when you’ll be away from your home,” Pilypaitis said.

They gave some tips to protect identity and personal information, including not to leave mail in a box that any-one could access. Some mail, like tax returns, include infor-mation such as a social insur-ance number.

Once a year, fi le a report for a credit history to check and see if anyone else has tried an unauthorized credit check, said Pilypaitis. They warned against the use of money trans-fers for anything that might not seem legitimate. A good rule of thumb is never give to any credit card information to any-one, unless you have initiated the contact, Pilypaitis said.

EMC lifestyle - Firm chees-es offer a great fl exibility 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 wonder-fully comforting. To serve with roast meats or poultry, omit the ham.

Preparation time: 15 min-utes. 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 (fi ve 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 gar-lic and cook until slightly soft-ened, for three to fi ve minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the mus-tard, 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 remain-ing potatoes.

Cover with buttered parch-ment 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 po-tato slices.

To make slicing easier, cut potatoes in half crosswise and place fl at edge down on man-dolin.

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.

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 appoint-ments 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.”

Ditch kids for date night, shopping this seasonEmma [email protected]

EMC news - It’s never easy finding time to Christmas shop when the kids are with you, but two community ser-vices are hoping to help you steal a few hours to yourself.

At Watson’s Mill in Manotick, the museum is of-fering a brand new Drop and Shop program three Saturdays in December leading up to Christmas.

For $10, parents can drop their kids off at the museum for four hours of fun while the adults shop in the village.

Mill education officer Cam Trueman said the Christmas-themed programs will keep kids busy and keep business local.

“It’s going to be fun and the parents will have four hours

to do their shopping in the village,” Trueman said. “The parents can’t drop them off and go to Barrhaven to shop, they have to stay in the vil-lage,” he joked.

Trueman said the pro-gramming from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 8, 15 and 22 is geared to kids ages five to 10. The kids will make Christ-mas crafts, write letters to Santa Claus and create unique Christmas tree ornaments to take home. They’ll also visit Dickinson House across the square for story time, and will likely bake cookies and deco-rate gingerbread houses.

Manotick’s Business Im-provement Area is supporting the program’s craft supplies.

South of Manotick, the Os-goode Youth Association will offer a similar service on Sat-urday, Dec. 15. Between 4:30

and 9:30 p.m., OYA will en-tertain kids with a pizza party, movies, games and crafts while the parents enjoy a date night or a chance to do some shopping.

“I think its going to be one of those programs that’s a real win-win for everybody,” said OYA executive director Nicole McKerracher, who planned the program. While the evening is branded a date night for parents, McKer-racher said the possibilities are endless once the kids are safely having fun at the youth centre.

“There are a lot of different things they can do on a night without kids,” she said. “I tried to keep in mind that a date night would not be something for everybody. Not everybody who has kids has the opportu-nity to go out on a date night,

for whatever reason.”The pizza party costs $20

per child, or $35 for two kids. McKerracher said that’s on par with most babysitting fees for a five-hour date.

“The added benefit is we

feed them dinner, and I think the kids like to go out and play with their friends,” McK-erracher said.

The program is geared to-ward children ages four to 11. Registration for both pro-

grams is limited, so parents are urged to book their spots soon. To register at Watson’s Mill call 613-692-6455. To register for O-YA’s date night email [email protected].

Pet Adoptions

Fleas, an annual external parasite, are mostly harmless. The biggest problem caused by fleas is itching. However, some pets or people may be allergic to flea saliva, which causes flea allergy dermatitis (super-itchy spots with hair-loss); young, sick or elderly pets can become anemic from too much blood loss.

These wingless insects are capable of jumping long distances. While cat and dog fleas prefer to feast on animal blood, they will turn to a human host if needed.

The life-cycle of a flea has four stages:

fleas found in carpets and in lawns.

If you do have a flea-infestation, it is important to treat the pet’s environment as well, to eliminate flea eggs and larvae.

There are many over-the-counter products that help solve flea problems such as flea sprays (both for the pet and environment), shampoos, or collars. While the costs may be lower for over-the-counter products ($5 to $30), they often need to be reapplied to solve a flea infestation.

expensive and require a vet visit for a prescription. They are usually dispensed in a six-month package, to be applied monthly for the flea season.

They are safer, easier and more effective than over-the-counter products. These products often have additional benefits, such as heart-worm protection and tick, lice and mite infestation prevention. Because of their ease of use, their safety, and their effectiveness, they are highly recommended.

It is important to read all of the instructions carefully before using any flea-control product. Follow all the instructions. Never use flea productions designed for dogs on cats, and vice versa. When in doubt, contact your veterinarian.

To protect cats from fleas and ticks, as well as a host of other outdoor hazards, cats should be kept indoors at all times.

Local talent shines in Orpheus production of FootlooseJoseph [email protected]

EMC entertainment - The musical Footloose will pre-mier at the Counterpointe Theatre on Nov. 23 and run until Dec. 2.

The production features great dancing and music, not to mention wonderful acting.

Producing a show as ambi-tious as Footloose required a small army of people, many of whom hail from Kempt-ville, Greely, Manotick and Metcalfe.

Footloose is one of the most exciting and entertain-ing movie musicals in recent memory. The story thrives as a live stage performance.

It is the tale of family led by Rev. Shaw Moore, a preacher who will not allow dancing of any kind in his town. The preacher, played by Ken Tucker, is trying to gain the control he feels he has lost power over his family by con-trolling the young people in town. He is a father longing for a son he has lost.

The musical, which in-cludes great music and dance, celebrates the wisdom of lis-tening to the younger gen-eration and helping them with love, patience and understand-ing and allowing love and joy to heal the heart.

Serving as a catalyst is Ren McCormack (Mathieu-Philippe Perras) a young man

from Chicago who has moved to the small farming town where Footloose takes place.

McCormack does not un-derstand or accept the rules in his new home.

Caught up in the drama is the daughter of the preach-er, Ariel Moore, played by Courtney Vezina a Kemptville actress.

Vezina was raised in Kemptville and attended South Branch Elementary School, eventually studying at North Grenville District High School.

After high school, she went to St. Lawrence College in Brockville, Ont., where she studied musical theatre for a year.

She later attended Carleton University to study psycholo-gy, graduating with a bachelor of arts last spring.

She now works at a group home for troubled young men.

Even after her change in career direction the theatre still called to her.

“The theatre was always a passion of mine,” said Vezina, “but I had to put it on the back burner while I was working.”

When the Orpheus Musi-cal Theatre Society decided to perform Footloose and began auditions for cast members, Vezina was ready.

“I loved how the musical combined dancing, music and acting,” she said.

When she was given the part of Ariel Moore she was thrilled. The production and her association with the Or-pheus Society have been an eye-opener for her.

“I have performed on the stage before, but this is defi -nitely the biggest produc-tion I have been involved with,” she said. Of the three skills required for Footloose – singing, dancing and acting – Vezina enjoys singing the most even though she has no problem at all with the acting and dancing.

“This is what I am most passionate about,” she said.

“I grew up singing in church and was always involved in music.”

Footloose is a perfect mix of the three disciplines, she said. Vezina also enjoys step-ping outside of herself to play the part of Ariel.

Getting ready to put on the kind of performance expected by the theatre group is nerve wracking and exhilarating at the same time, she said.

“It has been awesome. An awful lot of work in a good way,” said Vezina. “It is a great uplifting story.”

Sarah Marks, a student at St. Mark Catholic High

School in Manotick, will be playing a part as one of the teen ensemble group.

“I became a performer be-cause I was put into dance when I was three and never stopped,” she said. “It started there then slowly progressed into taking vocal lessons and all of a sudden I was perform-ing in musicals and having a blast with it.

“Footloose is another op-portunity to be on stage and perform but on a much higher level,” she said. “It is more professional than any show I’ve done and everyone in-volved is doing it because they want to improve and show their talents. I really like that in a theatre atmosphere. I am having so much fun with Footloose! Every day is an-other opportunity to improve my skills and become a better performer in all.”

Evan Welchner, a student who lives in Orchard View in Greely, is another member of the teen ensemble and this will be his fi rst Orpheus show.

Evan played Mike TeeVee in Willy Wonka, and various chorus roles, and is trained in singing, breakdancing, hip hop.

“It’s hard to say exactly where a love of performing comes from, but it’s some-thing I’ve had for as long as I can remember,” he said. “I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so I tend to jump on any per-

formance chances I get. That led to me getting into dance and theatre and such.

“When I heard about this show it seemed like a perfect fi t for me, so I went ahead and auditioned,” he said. “Now I get to sing, dance, and act, all at the same time, with a whole group of people who love it as much as I do. That’s a pretty good deal in my book.”

Footloose has garnered its share of awards.

It was nominated for Tony Awards for best book of a mu-sical, best original score, best performance by a leading ac-tress and best choreography.

Tickets for the musical are available online: wwwcen-trepointetheatre.com or call-ing 613-580-2700 or at the Centrepointe box offi ce.

Tickets are $40 and $37 for adults (orchestra/balcony), $37 for people 65 or older and $25 and $20 for children 12 and under. High school stu-dents can purchase $5 tickets through the eyeGo program.

Student rush tickets are available for $10 and must be purchased at the box offi ce with valid student ID.

Tuesday and Wednesday tickets can be purchased ahead of time. All other days must be purchased on the day of the performance.

Performances run from Tuesday to Saturday, starting at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinee performances begin at 2 p.m.

Meet the only little polar bear in Orleans. Her name is Juno and she’s the baby of the family. She is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) for short and she’s our real

life teddy bear. She is somewhat of a princess, we like to put pink and blue hair dye in her bangs and clip it back so it’s out of her eyes. Here’s a bit of history on how

we named her: We named her Juno for 2 reasons, my birthday and my sister’s birthday are in June and guess what? So is hers. She is 1 1/2 years old. The second

reason is because of Juno Beach, where Canadians fought on D Day. We love her soo much and couldn’t imagine life without her. Best Birthday gift ever!

Special to the EMC

EMC news - On Saturday, Nov. 10, the Osgoode Rideau Romans Major Atom team spent the morning in Manotick preparing Centennial Park’s outdoor rink for the upcoming skating season.

Parents, team members and coach Matt Klassen raked, pulled weeds, cleared leaves and picked up garbage throughout the day. Klassen had contacted Noel Norenius, president of the Manotick

Culture, Parks and Recreation Association to see if his team could lend a helping hand.

While the NHL may be ar-guing over multi-million dol-lar revenues, the roots of the game evolved from the culture of the outdoor rink. On that crisp sunny morning, parents worked alongside their sons and daughters and explained why this effort was impor-tant. At the end of the morn-ing there was a clean surface ready for fl ooding, about 20 bags for composting, and ev-

eryone felt just a little bit bet-ter about giving back to their village.

Centennial Park out-door rink is adjacent to the Manotick Arena and is oper-ated by the recreation asso-ciation with assistance from the city of Ottawa. Flooding will commence when tem-peratures remain consistently below zero.

If you’re interested in be-ing an outdoor rink volunteer, contact the association at [email protected].

Fun By The Numbers

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, while there’s much about a situation that you don’t understand, you will quickly be filled in on all the details you need to know to get the job done.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, confrontation will get you nowhere. It is better to avoid any troublesome parties and simply go on with your days. No need to put monkey wrenches in the plans.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Take some time to reflect on what you need to get done, Gemini. Things are about to get more hectic, and it will help to know what is on your schedule in the coming days.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22There 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 – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, 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.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, 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.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23You may find that things that are beneficial for others may not always be beneficial for you, Libra. But often you have to make sacrifices for the benefit of the entire group.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Certain challenges may be tough to conquer, Scorpio. But with the right help you can get the job done. Gemini may be your shining light this week.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21There is no point in speculating about your finances, Sagittarius. Keep track of your deposits and withdrawals so you have a handle on all accounts.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Now 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.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although you do plenty, someone around the house could really use some more assistance from you. It may take some juggling of your schedule to accomplish.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Usually your outpouring of creative juices is unstoppable, Pisces. This week you could have a little trouble thinking up new ideas.
