EMC news - For Cassidy Magee, donating unwanted pennies just makes cents.

The 12-year-old St. Mark High School student spent her Christmas holiday collect-ing pennies and other small change to support the Os-goode Township Care Centre, which is currently running its largest fundraising campaign since the centre opened in the 1980s.

Aunts, uncles, cousins and friends contributed to Magee’s neatly decorated jar over the busy visiting season, and on Dec. 28 she and her grandmother delivered $82.75 to the long-term care facility on Snake Island Road.

“It’s hard work but I know they’ll put it to good use,” Magee said. “It makes me feel good because I know I’m

helping people.”Magee decided to help the

care centre’s campaign be-cause her grandmother Gwen Magee sits on the centre’s fundraising committee. She told Cassidy about the cen-tre’s ongoing penny drive and other fundraising initiatives.

“I thought it would be a good way to help the commu-nity,” Magee said.

Her mother, Jenn Magee, said it’s no surprise that Cas-sidy wanted to take it on.

“If there’s something to be done she likes to be in there helping,” she said.

Despite the recent donation, Magee is far from finished her fundraising. The care centre wants to raise $100,000 by March, and Magee said she is determined to help them hit that goal.

“I want to raise at least $100, but I think I can do that,” she said. The care centre was

built 26 years ago and is home to 100 residents, most of them long-time Osgoode Township community members.

The centre is hoping to raise $500,000 over the next few years to tackle a number of home renovations, including replacing the roof and buying a government-required back-up generator. All of the furni-ture needs to be replaced, and many rooms need new floor-ing. Special hi-lo beds are also needed for many rooms.

The fundraising campaign began in October with the penny drive and a new giving tree in the lobby. Co-ordinator Wendy Hill said the campaign hit $50,000 in December. She wants to pass the $100,000 mark by March. That goal will be greatly aided by the centre’s next fundraising event on Feb. 1, a beer tasting and music night at Stanley’s Farm.

Penny donation goes a long way for Osgoode care centre

Shiverfest to support ROSSSEmma [email protected]

EMC news - Manotick’s seniors won’t be left in the cold this year if Shiverfest or-ganizers have anything to say about it.

This year’s annual winter carnival will raise money for Rural Ottawa South Support Services, or ROSSS, which provides transportation, meals on wheels and other services for seniors and adults with physical disabilities in the Osgoode and Rideau-Goul-bourn areas.

Every year Shiverfest or-ganizers from the Manotick Village Community Asso-ciation donate the weekend’s proceeds to a charity.

Lead organizer Jan Hynes said supporting ROSSS was an easy choice.

“We quickly realized they would be a very worthy recip-ient, and we also wanted to help get out the message that they do have to fundraise,” Hynes said.

She said several associa-tion members are involved with ROSSS, and they told the planning committee that many people don’t realize only half of the organization’s costs are covered by the prov-ince, city and United Way.

The other half must be found through client fees and donations. If donations are low, client fees go up.

“A lot of their clients, they live on a very fi xed income,” Hynes said. “Being in a rural area where we don’t have ac-cess to taxis or busses, these people are very dependent on the services that ROSSS pro-vides.”

ROSSS director Nancy Wilson said she and her staff are very pleased for the spon-sorship.

“We are so delighted,” Wil-son said. “It not only helps with providing fi nancial sup-port, it also helps make the community aware of the ser-vices ROSSS is involved in.”

Shiverfest will run from Friday, Jan. 25 to Sunday, Jan. 27, with a variety of events for all ages and interests.

The festivities kick off with a bonfi re in Centennial Park and a family skate in the arena on Friday evening.

New this year, the Rideau Skating Club will host an ex-

hibition of its young fi gure skaters between 6 and 6:50 p.m., before the family skate begins at 7 p.m.

Hynes said the partnership has been a long time coming, and she is excited to have so many local skating stars on the ice. The free event is open to everyone.

Dr. Kaboom will end the night with a bang upstairs in the arena from 8 to 9 p.m. with juggling, circus tricks and magic.

Saturday’s jam-packed schedule begins with a pan-cake breakfast run by the Manotick Kiwanis between 7:30 and 11 a.m. in the arena, with proceeds also going to ROSSS. Children’s fun time will be run by the Manotick co-operative nursery school in the arena throughout the morning, and sleigh rides be-gin in Centennial Park at 10 a.m.

Tobogganing and skating will be open all day in the park. Residents should bring their cameras, because this year’s photography contest theme is I Love Snow.

Photos must be submitted by Feb. 10 to [email protected].

In the afternoon, Dino Rep-tiles will show off their exotic snakes and reptiles, courtesy of the Manotick Lions.

But don’t let that ruin your appetite, because the chili cook-off begins at 2 p.m. in the legion.

For $5, tasters can have the run of the room and vote for their favourites, with prizes for amateurs and profession-als.

In the evening, teens are invited back to the Manotick arena from 6 to 9 p.m. for an evening of live, local music and dancing.

On Sunday, the popular trivia contest will return to the Mill Tavern after a suc-cessful debut at last year’s festival.

“We did really well last year,” Hynes said. Tickets are $15 and available at the Tavern or at Offi ce Pro. In-terested participants can also email [email protected] for tickets.

A full schedule will be posted on the Manotick Vil-lage Community Association website at www.manotick-vca.org.

Manotick EMC - Thursday, January 10, 2013 3


EMC news - A small group of volunteers is working hard to see Metcalfe’s main street transformed by this spring.

The Metcalfe Community Association’s mural project for Victoria Street is already underway, and the association is now looking to add decora-tive light fixtures and some new signs in the village core as well.

The association needs about $6,000 to install solar-powered street lamps and sev-eral cut metal village signs on either side of the mural.

The three-metre lamps would be similar to those on 8th Line Road, and would tie the two main roads together, said mural co-ordinator Kelly Fekete.

They would be able to hold planters, banners or other decorations to spruce up the village core, she said.

Fekete said the association also wants to install cut metal signs such as large Ms on ei-ther side of the mural, which will be installed for three sea-sons of the year along Victoria Street’s concrete bridge walls that cross the Cassidy mu-nicipal drain. Fekete said the association has already had some support from local busi-nesses, and will begin apply-ing for grants early in 2013.

She hopes everything can be completed for the spring, when the mural is scheduled for completion.

“If you don’t do things they tend to get put off, so we’d like to reveal it all together,” Fekete said. “It’s going to look really nice.”

Local artist Jen Wyn-gaarden already has the mu-ral underway, with the heavy duty plywood boards primed and ready to receive her ren-

dition of Metcalfe’s history. It features the Metcalfe

Fair ferris wheel, a brass band that played on the streets of Metcalfe in the early 1900s, as well as cows and barns to tie in the area’s rich farming history.

In order to fit the long, thin wall that flanks the bridge in Metcalfe’s downtown, the mural is designed to stand 76

centimetres high and between six and 12 metres long.

The association raised about $200 this spring and summer from a donation jar at Mike’s Variety store to put toward the art supplies, which Fekete bought and delivered to Wyngaarden as soon as possible. Clarmo Auto Repair, the Metcalfe Agricultural So-ciety, and the Osgoode Town-

ship Museum and Historical Society also donated to the cause.

While Wyngaarden has no formal training, she is no stranger to large mural proj-ects like this one. Several years ago her family lived in Mexico for a year, and since she couldn’t formally work she filled her time providing murals for local schools and

churches. Her biggest mural ran the length of a school, and featured images of kids playing. Wyngaarden said she doesn’t mind painting on wood boards.

“I’ll pretty much paint on anything I can get my hands on,” she said.

Fekete said she is aware that the business community has already done a lot to sup-

port the project, and the asso-ciation is counting on grants to make up the majority of their fundraising for the project.

“Our business base is really small and we can only count on them so many times,” she said.

“We are just kind of hoping to put the idea out there, the idea that we’re going to need a little more assistance.”

Metcalfe mural project expands to include lights, signs

When your kids just ‘gotta dance’, the City of Ottawa offers a variety of classes and activities that will keep their toes tapping and body rocking. Check the Recreation eGuide available at ottawa.ca for countless options.

Dancing is great exercise for kids of all ages. For younger children, it’s a fun introduction to physical fitness and many key skills that will serve them throughout life, such as coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, stamina, discipline and memory. They will also learn to follow instructions and develop an appreciation for different styles of music.

Through programs such as Music and Movement and Creative Movement, toddlers as young as three can explore their natural response to music and rhythm while expanding their creative scope and gaining confidence in their abilities. These programs provide a fun and casual approach to practicing basic and fine motor skills and learning about body awareness and space.

Classes in pre-ballet, jazz and hip hop will teach your tiny dancer the fundamentals and techniques of specific dance styles. It’s a great introduction to more formal and focused dance classes. A performance for an admiring audience of moms, dads and family members completes the session.

Older children also have a variety of dance styles to choose from. Whatever strikes their fancy, we’ve got them covered - Broadway, contemporary and hip hop, our classes cover the gamut of styles made popular by television dance shows.

Have a child interested in learning a bit of everything? A Dance Mix class allows your child to create his or her own choreography and experiment with a variety performance styles. Classes such as Acrobatic Dance combines dance steps and combos with free floor gymnastics.

Give your child the chance to express, move and create through dance! It is said that Socrates learned to dance when he was 70 because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected. Affordable and conveniently located in your neighbhourhood, a dance class this winter ensures that your child won’t have to wait that long!

EMC news - The Greely Winter Carnival’s newest event has been cancelled three weeks before the amateur cooking competition could pit neighbours against neigh-bours to fi nd the best recipes in town.

Carnival organizer Bruce Brayman said the new event – part of a neighbourhood tasting series across Ottawa called My Neighbourhood Bites – was supposed to take place at the same time as the annual teeny bopper dance on Friday, Jan. 25.

But on Jan. 2 My Neigh-bourhood Bites organizer Donna Henhoeffer cancelled the Greely edition for un-known reasons, Brayman said. While he’s disappointed the event won’t take place during the carnival this year, Brayman said it won’t make or break the festival.

“We weren’t banking on them at all,” he said. “I just wanted it because it was cool.”

Last year’s festival suffered a lower turnout than usual, but Brayman said the committee spent more money on promo-tion this year in order to get numbers back up.

This year’s festival will be largely the same as recent years, with the highlight re-maining the Absolutely Com-edy dinner and show on Sat-urday, Jan. 26. This will be the carnival’s third year with a comedy show, and Brayman hopes to surpass the 100-per-son crowd they tend to attract each year.

“We’re starting to get trac-tion, and the advantage of going to Greely to see com-edy instead of into the city is huge,” Brayman said.

A catered dinner and a cash bar will round out the evening, which features live stand-up comedians from Ab-

solute Comedy’s location in Little Italy.

The organizing committee is also pushing its snow sculp-ture contest, which had to be cancelled last year.

The event was ready to go until a dose of freezing rain ruined the snow at the last minute. Groups, companies, families and friends can regis-ter to build a snow sculpture outside the community centre on Saturday, Jan. 26 and Sun-day, Jan. 27.

Each team will have a mea-sured site and will be allowed to use wheelbarrows and shov-els to bring extra snow to their site. Teams that want to make

a snow sculpture can email [email protected].

Old carnival favourites are also back this year, including the Greely fi refi ghters’ pan-cake breakfast on Saturday morning and the Greely Idol competition throughout the weekend.

The Girl Guides will host their chili and skate night on Wednesday this year. A poker night will be held on Thurs-day. Sleigh rides, magicians, Radical Science and a family brunch on Sunday will com-plete the weekend. For a full schedule and to purchase on-line tickets, visit greelycom-munity.org.

EMC news - What started as a friendly football game between some South Carleton friends has morphed into an annual tradition lasting a quarter century.

On the fi rst day of 1988, four Aughey brothers from Manotick and three broth-ers and a sister from the Park family in North Gower orga-nized a New Years Day foot-ball game.

The families, with a few friends and neighbours thrown in, faced off at a North Gower fi eld to “start the year off right,” said Darin Aughey, who has continued to organize the game ever since.

He said the game was sim-ply an effort to get outside and do something active on the fi rst day of the new year.

Then 16, Aughey and his brothers had no idea the Aughey-Park Bowl would take on a life of its own.

“It was more or less ring-ing in the new year with some athletic endeavour and a fun, family event,” Aughey said.

The same year, Aughey be-

gan working at the Lonestar restaurant at Fisher and Base-line Roads in Nepean. He’s celebrating his 25th year there as well, now as the restaurant’s general manager.

Aughey said his time at Lonestar is intricately con-nected to the annual football game. For one thing, the res-taurant was founded by two former Ottawa Rough Riders players, Val Belcher and Lar-ry Brune.

Aughey also recruited sev-eral of his colleagues to par-ticipate and some have now been playing for more than a decade.

The New Years Day game moved to Minto Field at the Nepean Sportsplex in the ear-ly 1990s.

Over the years the teams have morphed into community teams that include members of the Aughey and Parks family as well as in-laws, colleagues, neighbours and friends.

Some friends and col-leagues have played longer than family; Aughey said one of his employees has played for at least 16 years. Every year about six Aughey and Park family members partici-

pate. In 25 years, Aughey has only missed one game, be-cause he was in Europe play-ing hockey.

The two-hand touch game kicks off at noon and usu-ally lasts about two hours. It’s played in all types of weather. Some years - like this year - the game has been played in several feet of snow. Other

years, temperatures have dropped below -30 C.

“Those years we didn’t play the full two hours,” Aughey said.

While it’s billed a fun, fam-ily event - kids are welcome on the fi eld, too - Aughey said there’s defi nitely an element of competition. They keep score, and they’ve kept track

of wins and losses over the years.

He said it’s hard to say whether the Aughey or Park family has won more games because the teams have in-cluded so many other mem-bers.

In honour of the 25th an-niversary, Aughey invited all alumni to play this year and

24 people came out. “It’s the fun-loving aspect

of it, it’s the camaraderie,” Aughey said.

And after 25 years, there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

“We’re stoked for next year,” Aughey said. “There’s already talk and chatter about next year’s game.”

EMC news - A west-end re-source centre is hoping put the city’s youth in the spotlight.

The Nepean, Rideau and

Osgoode Community Re-source Centre is starting to gather resources for the sec-ond annual Shine a Light on Our Youth fundraiser – set to hit the Centurion Conference Centre on April 20.

Sandy Wooley, execu-tive director for the resource centre, said last year’s event brought in $8,000.

“We focused the money on our youth counselling pro-grams,” Wooley said, adding the extra funds allowed the program’s co-ordinator to

double her hours at the cen-tre.

“This year we hope to double the proceeds and raise $16,000,” Wooley said. “Ev-erything will go into youth programming.”

While the resource centre receives core funding from the city for most of the ser-vices it offers, there is little provided for youth program-ming. That’s what makes the fundraiser necessary, Wooley said.

“Young people are the

future of our community,” Wooley said. “So it makes sense to make sure they have the proper resources.”

The centre currently oper-ates youth advisory groups in Barrhaven, Bells Corners and Parkwood Hills.

Wooley said they are cur-rently looking at an advisory group for parents in Manotick whose children are dealing with Fentanyl addiction.

The advisory programs are run by youth for youth in the community, with the help of NROCRC’s community de-velopers.

“We want residents to tell us what kind of services they want, rather than telling them we are setting up a basketball program or games night,” Wooley said. “Having their input makes the resources more effective.”

The April event will host Mayor Jim Watson as a guest speaker.

There will also be live and silent auctions. Wooley said January is when organizers really start buckling down and approach the community for auction items and sponsor-ships.

Tickets for the event are $65 and are available for pur-chase now. To buy a ticket or donate items for the auction, contact Wooley at [email protected].

EMC news - OC Transpo is hoping to tap frequent riders to help get the bugs out of its smart-card payment system.

The new Presto cards will be available for free at OC Transpo sales centres between Jan. 18 and Feb. 1.

There are already 2,000 people using the cards as part of a “friends and family” test program and OC Transpo is hoping up to 10,000 more people join them when the new cards begin to work on Feb. 1.

The cards are being re-

leased to a larger number of transit users to test the belea-guered system when it’s under heavier use.

The Presto system is used by some transit agencies in southern Ontario, but Ottawa was set to be the fi rst city to use a new generation of the technology last summer.

A full, 200,000-card rollout was scheduled for June, but the city and provincial agency responsible for the system, Metrolinx, pulled the plug at the last minute due to techni-cal issues.

Glitches, such as red screens indicating rejected payments, continued to plague the sys-tem through the summer, forc-ing Metrolinx and the city to extend the “friends and fam-ily” test period through the winter.

Presto is supposed to ush-er in a new era of how users pay to ride the bus. For one thing, the passes are transfer-able, meaning you, a spouse, a child, a friend, a roommate

or anyone, really, could share a card – as long as you don’t ride at the same time. The cards can be topped up online or at a service centre.

Manager of business and operational services, David Pepper, said OC Transpo is hoping at least half of the new Presto-card holders use the cards regularly.

That lowball number is enough to give OC Transpo the kind of critical mass it needs to put the system to the test.

In addition, now that the Toronto Transit Commission has signed on to implement Presto for the TTC by 2016, all eyes will be watching Ot-tawa to see how it fares.

Last month, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 boss Craig Watson said that all 1,600 OC Transpo operators were set to be retrained on how to use the Presto system in January in advance of the deluge of new users expected in February.

More Presto cards to be available Jan. 18OC Transpo seeks ‘frequent riders’ for 10,000-card rollout

FILE

OC Transpo will pass out up to 10,000 free Presto cards between Jan. 18 and Feb. 1 in an eff ort to get more riders using the new system. OC Transpo is hoping that having more Presto users on board will help the system identify and fi x any glitches.

EMC news - Some of the city’s community resource centres are coming together to develop a strategic plan to serve rural residents.

Community resource cen-tres that serve eastern Ottawa, Nepean, Rideau, Osgoode, Orleans, Cumberland and western Ottawa are putting a call out for a consultant to guide a strategic plan for rural areas.

Sandy Wooley, the execu-tive director of the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Commu-nity Resource Centre – which serves Nepean and as far south as North Gower – said there are particular challenges with offering services in rural areas that need to be addressed.

“Doing community devel-opment work in Parkwood Hills is signifi cantly different than doing it in a place like Manotick,” Wooley said.

Wooley said the resource centre is currently working on an advisory committee com-posed of parents whose chil-dren are dealing with Fentanyl addictions issues.

“We are looking to link those people with services and provide them with the supports they need,” Wooley said.

The request for proposals

sent out by the four commu-nity resources centres would provide a cohesive strategy to serve the entirety of Ottawa’s rural communities. The plan was inspired by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s rural community de-

velopment project that serves areas such as West Carleton.

Wooley said with limited staff and funding, one of the ways to address the needs of the centre’s diverse catchment is to work with partners.

The request for proposals says the project would take six months to complete a report.

It would include consulta-tions with community groups and a review of community development literature and best practices. The fi nal report would identify key issues, strategies opportunities and recommendations for next

steps.“It would be like a road

map,” Wooley said.

PLANS

Wooley said the resource centre will continue to do work with youth advisory committees.

They want to expand the work already being done in Parkwood Hills, Bells Cor-ners and Barrhaven.

Staff is also working on getting funding to compliment a community voice project that was showcased in Park-wood Hills in October. The project asked residents to take pictures and create other art-works to showcase the good and the bad of the west-end neighbourhood.

Wooley said the centre is hoping to expand on the proj-ect with funding for a docu-mentary to highlight the fea-tures of the neighbourhood.

If the centre is able to se-cure funding then a new project would be a video documentary highlighting the neighbourhood.

Next on the horizon is the centre’s annual income-tax clinic.

“There is also work to be done,” Wooley said, adding she is excited about the mix of initiatives for the coming year.

Just after Christmas there was a great big snow. Other places got more of it than we did, but we got enough.

The Queensway was mushy and slow, on-ramps were slippery, arterial roads were tricky and residential streets were mostly unplowed.

The day after that snow, I was driving out of town. The side streets were fine. The Queensway was in beautiful shape. So was Highway 7, and it wasn’t as if any of the snow had melted. No, it had just been pushed aside and taken away.

“Well, of course,” I hear you say. “We know how to deal with snow.”

It’s something we always hear ourselves say-ing, often to friends in the U.S. who have lived through snowstorms that have crippled trans-portation and deprived thousands of power.

We know how to deal with snow, we say smugly. We also love to say it to our cousins in Toronto after they have had a difficult time with the weather. We don’t have to call out the army to clear the streets.

But what was apparent the day after that big snow on the dry and clear 417 is that it’s not we who know how to deal with snow. It’s the people who work for us, who drive that noisy, clunky equipment all day and through the middle of the night and into next day. They know how to deal with snow.

And, unlike people in many other walks of life, they don’t just do it when they feel like it. They do it when it’s needed and don’t stop until it’s done. The same goes for the private guys who clear the laneways, parking lots and

driveways of the city.There are more and more of those, as annual

warnings about the risks of shovelling are read by wary (certainly not lazy!) males of a certain age.

It’s a miracle what they all do. One day you think you’ll never be able to get where you want to get and the next day you forget that you even thought about it. You rarely hear those who live in Ottawa complain about the snow-plows. Not for long, anyway.

Deal with snow? We as individuals might play our little part. We get our cars out of the way, sometimes doing a little dance with the snowplows. We put snow tires on our cars so that we don’t get stranded and add to everyone else’s difficulties. We stay home when urged to, take public transit when it makes more sense.

But it’s not we who get the snow off the streets and roads.

The people who do that not only perform a great service; they also enable our bragging about how we know how to deal with snow.

It’s a neat trick to convince ourselves we are hardy northern survivor types at the same time as we spend most of our time indoors and warm while others do the heavy lifting. That’s what Canadians do every winter and the accumulation of bragging rights adds to our national pride.

So it’s best not to question it too much. We do, in fact, go outside from time to time. We bundle up. We freeze in the car until it warms up. We wait in the cold for the bus. In colder parts of the country we even plug the car in overnight. And when we get where we are go-ing, when we get back indoors, we are exhila-rated by how cold it was and how we survived and we can’t stop talking about it.

Not everyone on Earth gets to do this. For example, people who live in warm weather climes, such as southern California, can’t, although they occasionally get to brag about brush fires and earthquakes, thus avoiding the accusation that they are total weather wimps. I wonder if they say “we know how to deal with earthquakes”?

Our unique relationship with winter

Funny Town

The Presto payment system for the city’s buses and future light rail hasn’t

travelled a smooth road.The tap-and-go payment

cards look nifty and plenty of riders would like to give them a try, but they’re not quite ready for prime time, or rush hour for that matter.

Between Jan. 18 and Feb. 1, the city will hand out 10,000 free Presto cards.

Then on Feb. 1, the final

test will begin. If the cards work as designed, you can expect to see Presto cards all over town within months.

Part of the reason some riders are looking forward to the cards is their advantage over the current monthly paper passes. Once Presto is up and running, riders will be able to share cards; some-thing that’s not allowed under the current system.

That means a parent can potentially come home

from work and hand the Presto card off to a child or other adult to use during the evening. Sounds good, but we need the Presto system to work before that comes true.

Presto cards are expected to deliver another advan-tage. They will make paper passes and eventually tickets obsolete at some point in the future, saving the cost of making, counting and then trashing the paper ones now in use.

City council decided Presto was the right package for Ottawa. Councillors voted to go with the system in part because it has been tested in the real world by Toronto’s transit system.

But then things went wrong. The city accepted that Ottawa should have a Presto system that ran on a new, untested software package and new display screens for drivers.

The software failed and

now, as we approach a rescheduled launch, OC Transpo’s drivers must undergo retraining because of the new interface screens.

While it sounds fair that Metrolinx – Presto’s parent – is paying for the retraining, every taxpayer should keep in mind that our provincial taxes help cover the cost of the duplicate training sessions provided by Metrolinx.

If this final test of Presto fails, the city can walk away

from the contract as late as April. Of course that still means the city will have to start from scratch.

The mess has raised some big questions: why didn’t we buy an off-the-shelf system with hardware and software that had already been proven elsewhere and why is Ottawa stuck as the guinea pig for the new software?

As every transit user knows, they key to a good system is running on time.

Presto should disappear if system fails againEDITORIAL

EMC news - It’s time for the dancers to step in.

The annual Grand Masters fi ddle camp held in Manotick every August will welcome step dancers for the fi rst time this summer in an effort to expand its student base.

The fi ve-day camp has been held at the RCMP camp near the Long Island Locks in Manotick for 17 years, of-fering fi ddling and fi ddle ac-companiment lessons for all ages and skill levels.

Camp co-ordinator Ron Bourque said step dance was a natural progression for the camp.

“A lot of the younger fi d-dlers also step dance or they’d like to learn, and they’ve been

asking if we’d be able to pro-vide that,” Bourque said. “It’s something new so we thought we’d give it a shot this year.”

He said step dance fi ts per-fectly with fi ddle music cul-ture. Kingston-based fi ddle instructor Kelly Trottier will double as the step dance in-structor this summer.

Bourque said the dance ad-dition is also in response to declining participation from fi ddlers over the past decade.

“Registration has been pretty steady but we’re not as high as we’ve been before,” he said. “We have different age groups that we attract, from eight to 80 years old, so we like to try to accommo-date all the different levels.”

It’s not clear how many classes will be offered for step dancers of various lev-

els; Bourque said it will de-pend on the level of interest. He said this summer’s camp will likely offer beginner and intermediate sessions.

The camp runs from Aug. 18 to 22 and is open to all ages. It attracts students and teachers from across the country. Instructors from across Canada will bring their own regional fi ddling styles, allowing students to get a taste of old-time, Mé-tis, Cape Breton, bluegrass, Ottawa Valley, West Coast and Acadian styles. For more information about the camp and registration fees, visit ca-nadiangrandmasters.ca.

The early-bird registration deadline is Feb. 28.

For more information, con-tact Bourque at 613-834-5531 or [email protected].

EMC lifestyle - No one minded the winter back in the ’30S.

The colder the better. When the temperature

dipped below 30 degrees, we knew the Bonnechere would be frozen solid, and it was safe to put on the skates. We kids were happy.

My three brothers and Audrey had real skates, but mine were hateful bobs, the two bladed kind that were as dull as dishwater, which I had to use until the day my teacher arrived at the rink behind the Northcote School with a pair of black, blade skates for me.

It didn’t bother me a bit that they were miles too big for me.

Mother simply stuffed the toes with Father’s wool socks, and I was ready to hit the ice!

Once the Bonnechere was ready, the boys, which always included the Thoms from the next farm, began the job of cleaning off the river.

There were no fancy shov-els back then. Father had nailed a piece of heavy tin to a board, and that worked perfectly.

It was impossible to avoid cracks and bits of ice stick-

ing up out of the frozen river, but there was enough of a surface cleared that a dozen of us could skate at the same time.

Surviving many winters, and summers too, was the lean-to Father made to shel-ter us when we wanted a rest.

It was made of several boards nailed to a couple two-by-fours and propped against a cluster of cedars which had been cleared of their lower branches.

Two small nail kegs held a plank so we could sit down under the lean-to.

At the time, I doubted there was a better place to skate in all of Renfrew County!

Of course, I never went very far from the house with-out a lunch.

So always, as well as tot-ing down my skates to the river, I carried a brown pa-per bag with a sandwich or

two, and perhaps a cookie as well.

I had to guard this bag as if it were money from the bank, since I learned one day that when I went to have my snack, all that was left was a bit of wax paper scrunched up inside.

No one admitted to the dastardly deed, but I strongly suspected my brother Emer-son, and do to this day!

The Thoms were big strapping boys, like my two older brothers, and they pret-ty well took over the ice.

They played hockey, dominating most of the ice surface, and we girls were relegated to a small corner of the Bonnechere.

There was no net for the goal, simply two blocks of wood about five feet apart at either end of the cleaned off surface.

My youngest brother Earl, the smallest of all the boys, was always the goalie, which

he didn’t relish one bit. He wanted to SKATE! He

accomplished this by letting so many goals in that he had to be replaced. Earl was no dummy!

Of course, there was no money for a puck. But by the time winter had really settled in, and everything was frozen solid, horse buns were perfect substitutes.

There was always a little pile of them sitting at one end of the cleaned off Bon-nechere, so that when one split apart, another one was always at the ready.

I shuddered when I saw my brothers, with a pitch fork, sift through the manure pile at the back door of the barn until they found just the right size and shape to use in their hockey games!

Fun on the Bonnechere went all Sunday afternoon. And when it came close to the time we had to head back to do the chores, we went to the lean-to and took off our skates, and trudged home.

We always left enough time between skating and the chores to allow us the treat either Mother or Aunt Ber-tha Thom had ready for us.

With Mother it was hot chocolate and ginger cook-ies!

But at Aunt Bertha’s, it

was hot chocolate and cup-cakes! It’s hard not to re-member the wonderful smell of those cupcakes as soon as we walked into the Thoms’ kitchen door.

There was nothing fancy about our rink on the Bon-nechere.

There was nothing fancy about the skates we wore... my brothers and sister’s coming from a shoemaker’s store in Renfrew, traded for a few chickens and some of Mother’s sticky buns.

It was a time when we made do with what we had. I don’t think we ever had a real hockey puck.

The horse buns suited just fine. And long before Frisbees were invented, in the wintertime, when every-thing had frozen solid, there was nothing better to hurl through the air, than a solid “cow chip.”

I never liked to be on the receiving end of one, but my brothers never tired of hurl-ing them at each other, the greatest fun coming when one broke in mid air over someone’s head!

Winter was a time of great frivolity. When the day came to a close, and with our outer clothes draped over the wood box beside the Findlay Oval to dry, our cheeks would be crimson, and often I could barely keep my eyes open to eat my supper.

And I would look around the table, laden with food, all produced on our own farm, and I would think, I was just about the luckiest little girl in all of Renfrew County.

Nothing like skating on the frozen Bonnechere to turn cheeks crimson

EMC news - The Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coali-tion wants to remind residents that when the temperatures go down awareness of the dangers of being on or around ice and open water needs to go up.

When water begins to freeze on rivers, lakes, the Rideau Canal and other open bodies of water it may look solid but is often still dangerous. If you want to go out onto the ice, re-member the thickness should be:

• 15 centimetres for walk-ing or skating alone.

• 20 cm for skating parties or games.

• 25 cm for snowmobiles. • 35 cm for fishing huts.Before venturing onto the

ice, check the Lifesaving So-ciety’s guidelines for staying safe. When in doubt, simply stay away from the ice, period. As a guideline, clear blue ice is usually the strongest; white opaque or snow ice is half as strong as blue ice. Grey ice is unsafe. The greyness indicates the presence of water.

Last winter, Ottawa fire ser-vices, working in close coordi-nation with Ottawa paramedics and Ottawa police, responded to 49 calls for help from per-sons in distress, lost or feared drowned. All three groups are part of the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition.

Think twice before going on the ice

EMC news - Municipali-ties need to have a greater say in where the province puts gambling facilities and green-energy projects, says Ontario Liberal leadership contender Kathleen Wynne.

Wynne, MPP for Don Val-ley West in Toronto, released her plan for municipal pros-perity in a teleconference on Jan. 3.

Prior to her leadership run, Wynne has served as minister of education, transportation and municipal affairs and housing.

The goal of the platform is

to increase municipal autono-my and give cities and towns the tools they need to prosper.

“Whether it’s casinos or energy infrastructure, we need to ensure we have willing hosts,” Wynne said. “Working together with communities … we will build even stronger and more prosperous commu-nities across Ontario.”

While Wynne’s statements focused on the importance of communities “buying in” to provincial initiatives instead of being forced into them, her ideas were light on actual policy direction.

Wynne said she is open to looking at what kinds of “tools and mechanisms” municipali-

ties might need to ensure there is a good community process for projects that fall under the provincial purview, such as gambling facilities or solar farms.

Wynne said Energy Minis-ter Chris Bentley made a good start by establishing a new process that weighs multiple criteria for things like solar-farm proposals for the next phase of the province’s feed-in-tariff (FIT) renewable en-ergy program.

The next step is to make the process of deciding where those facilities go a more col-laborative one, Wynne said. That would involve consulting the Association of Municipal-ities of Ontario ahead of time and engaging local decision makers, including mayors and aboriginal leaders, throughout the process.

“I think communities have ideas about how they would

like to see the processes work better,” Wynne said.

Wynne said that while she encourages municipalities to hold referenda on whether they should accept a new gaming facility such as a ca-sino, she wouldn’t force cities to go through that expensive process.

But under the current dead-lines outlined by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corpora-tion, it would be impossible for a municipality to hold a referendum before the OLG to make its decision.

Wynne said she hasn’t contemplated any political maneuvers that could be used to extend those deadlines to allow municipalities to hold referenda.

The other components of Wynne’s community plan in-clude:

* Investing in roads and bridges

* Bringing mayors together to ensure Ontario’s growth plans are on track

* Rebalancing the cost of providing provincial services so it is less of a burden on ru-

ral municipalities * Developing regional and

community transportation strategies and advocating for a national transportation strategy.

Wynne wants cities to have a sayMunicipalities should have more power in where OLG, green energy projects go: Liberal leadership contender

EMC news - Deadlines for the Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence are coming up fast.

The excellence program was created to recognize and foster the spirit of innovation that thrives in Ontario’s agri-cultural sector, according to the Ontario Ministry of Agri-culture.

The program encourages the development of rural com-munities, farms, agri-food processors and agri-food or-ganizations by adding value to existing products, creating jobs and driving economic growth, a ministry statement said. Each year the program recognizes up to 45 innova-tions across the province, granting $5,000 to each win-

ning project. In addition, a Premier’s Award grants up to $75,000, a Minister’s Award is valued at up to $50,000, and three Leaders in Innova-tion awards are worth $25,000 each.

All award recipients receive a plaque, a gate sign and vari-ous promotional materials.Pri-mary producers, processors or agri-food organizations are in-vited to submit applications.

Primary producers and farmers must be Ontario resi-dents and a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, while processors must be a Canadi-an-owned company with less than 100 full-time employees. At least 50 per cent of their food ingredients must come from Ontario.

Agri-food organizations must be Ontario-based with a direct relationship with the agri-food sector.

Full details on eligibil-ity, innovation categories, as-sessment criteria, application process and selection process can be found on the website at www.ontario.ca/agrifoodin-novation.

The 2013 application dead-line is Friday, Jan. 18 at 5 p.m. For more information or

resources contact 1-877-424-1300 or [email protected].

EMC news - Don’t spend the next school PA day cooped up indoors - it’s time to get outside and enjoy all that freshly fallen snow.

The Rideau Valley Conser-vation Authority is once again hosting its Winter Adventurer PA day camps at Baxter and Foley Mountain conservation areas this season.

Children aged six to 12 are invited to spend a great, fun-fi lled day with RVCA inter-preters while they learn how to snowshoe, build shelters and campfi res, cook outdoors and use a compass.

Of course, no PA day is complete without a few out-

door games as well.“We can’t let the winter

cold stop us from enjoying some wonderful outdoor op-portunities,” said Rebecca Whitman, Foley Mountain su-pervisor and interpreter.

“We need to stop retreating indoors and becoming inac-tive. Instead, we need to em-brace winter and get the chil-dren out and enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer.”

Camps are $40 per child ($35 for additional children in the same family) and in-clude snowshoe rental, snacks and the traditional reward of a frothy hot chocolate after a day of frosty fun.

There is a maximum of 20 participants, so families are

encouraged to register early.Baxter Conservation Area

south of Kars will host its camps on Jan. 18 and Feb. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Registration can be com-pleted through Andrea Wood, who can be reached at 613-489-3592 or [email protected].

Foley Mountain Conserva-tion Area will host its camp on Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Contact Whitman at 613-273-3255 or [email protected] to register.

The programs are offered as part of the RVCA’s Active Outdoor Life series. To learn about other Active Outdoor Life events, visit www.rvca.ca.

EMC news - Chris Kush-neriuk has put his hockey ca-reer on pause, but his friends and teammates have switched to fast-forward to raise funds for the Gloucester-raised player.

Kushneriuk, 26, was play-ing with the Wheeling Nail-ers of the East Coast Hockey League when he found out

late last season he had testicu-lar cancer.

Kushneriuk is undergoing treatment in Indianapolis from some of the best doctors in the world, said Kushneriuk’s girl-friend, Christiane Lalonde.

But without medical insur-ance, top care comes at a steep price. He’s looking at about $250,000 to cover the cost of treatment.

“It’s very expensive and it all happened so fast,” Lalonde

said. “But there’s no price on life.”

He started his treatment in December and it is expected to last until about early Feb-ruary.

FUNDRAISING GAME

In his hometown of Gloucester, friends, fam-ily and teammates have been quick to organize multiple fundraisers.

Lalonde planned one at her work, and another at the Heart and Crown pub. His friends organized another night out in benefi t of the cause at the Great Canadian Cabin bar downtown.

But on Dec. 28, support-ers were able to raise at least $6,000 with a charity hockey game featuring NHL, univer-sity, OHL and junior A play-ers. The players taking the ice at the Minto arena included

Claude Giroux, Erik Gud-branson, Marc Methot, Eric Condra and Grant Clitsome.

Minto donated ice time and about 600 tickets were sold. There was also a silent auction and 50/50 draw, and a donation from bar sales for the night.

“Given the nature of his illness, it’s something that affects everybody,” said Dan Bittle, who helped organize the event. “The hockey com-

munity in Ottawa … really is a band of brothers. The hock-ey world is just so small. Ev-eryone came together to help and it was a great night.”

Lalonde said Kushneriuk has been surprised how much money teammates both in the States and in Canada have been able to raise towards his treatment.

“He’s very happy and grateful for all the support, he appreciates everything,” she said. “He’s very blessed with everything going on.”

EMC news - Foodies from across the city are invited to the Glebe this month to enjoy some delectable fare in sup-port of the community.

Fine wines, local brews, finger foods and dozens of desserts from restaurants and shops in the neighbour-hood will be served up at this year’s Taste in the Glebe on Jan. 17.

The event, hosted by the Glebe Neighbourhood Activ-ities Group, will take place at the Glebe Community Cen-tre.

“This is the best food and wine show in the city, hands down,” said Clare Rogers, one of the organizers for the event. There are always a few new restaurateurs each year, she said, but the theme is al-ways the same - to eat, drink and be merry.

“It’s a great time,” she said. “There are always fancy finger foods and some not so fancy foods, but all are equal-ly delicious.”

Last year, Rogers said one restaurant made more than 400 fish tacos.

“There were both gorgeous and delicious,” she said.

Rogers added there also tends to be fun treats that stray away from strict gour-met fare, such as milkshakes provided by the Works last year.

The annual event is part of the activities group’s fund-raising initiative and the proceeds will go towards a community development fund, which focuses on rais-ing money to help improve the Glebe Community Centre building and grounds.

Rogers said the money raised at this year’s Taste in the Glebe will help fund the group’s upcoming landscap-ing project, which includes the addition of parking at the centre, as well as relocating the sidewalk in front of the parking area.

“It’s to stop the danger of having cars backing out onto the sidewalk,” Rogers said.

The project will increase the available parking from six spaces and one handicap space to about 18. Bicycle racks will also be added.

This project is completely funded by the community and so far the group has

raised $80,000 for the park-ing project, while the land-scaping portion intends to a community-driven volunteer initiative.

The Taste in the Glebe, Rogers said, is also a huge community event, made pos-sible because of the dedica-tion of residents.

“It’s a lot of work, but we have no shortage of volun-teers who help out,” Rogers

said. “It’s like one big com-munity party and community event.”

The event will welcome as many as 350 people from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the centre or online at www.gnag.ca. Residents interested in donating directly to the landscaping fund can contact the activities group at 613-233-8713.

Hi, I’m Edmund a Yorkie mix…. I was born in La Belle Province nearly two years ago. A few weeks ago my original owners shipped me off to the S.P.C.A. de L’Outaouais…they said I barked too much and that I wasn’t very friendly. After getting some needles…ouch! They sent me to The Animal Health Care Facility at Algonquin College in Ottawa for general grooming and some dental work. They also gave me an operation to prevent me from making puppies…ouch again! They then took my picture and posted it on a web site to see if anyone would like to adopt me. All the students said I was very handsome and they didn’t think it would be long before someone would want me. They were right. My new mommy and daddy love me very much. They call me Sir Edmund sometimes but mostly Eddie. They’re always cuddling me, taking me for lots of walks and giving me healthy treats. I think I’ll keep them. I’ve met lots of new friends in Barrhaven and the only time I bark is when someone rings our doorbell. Thank you for reading my story.

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, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results will be worth it. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in the business sector.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Taurus. Although you may be ambitious, just be mindful of other people in your path as you go.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Be honest with your feelings this week, Gemini. Someone close to you is interested in learning more about the way you operate. This could strengthen a friendship.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer. Otherwise you could be left with a long to-do list and not enough energy to get the job done. Consider paring down tasks.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, although you may have rest and recreation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in the opposite direction. Busy days are ahead, so rest later.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22You have put too much effort into something to abandon your plans now, Virgo. Rethink quitting early on. Maybe a friend can carry you over the finish line.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Surround yourself with lots of friends when you cannot have family near, Libra. This will help keep feelings of loneliness from creeping in during quiet moments.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may need to concede to a difference of opinion this week when you simply cannot resolve something amicably. Redirect attention on a craft or pastime.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, sometimes you tend to be brutally honest with others. While honesty is an admirable trait, this week you may need to censor what you say to avoid hurt feelings.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Taking a circuitous route will land you at the finish a little behind others, Capricorn. But you will get to the end nevertheless. Trust your instincts with this one.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you probably won’t be able to rest your mind until you square away all of your finances and make a budget for the new year. Take on the job this week.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Introspection leads you on a mini-quest to find a creative outlet, Pisces. Play to your strengths and some ideas will surface.
