Sweet 16 Family and friends of the late Maddy Otto of Barrhaven gathered at Pinecrest Cemetery to release balloons to celebrate what would have been her 16th birthday. Maddy passed away at the age of five in 2007 at Roger’s House just two days after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Since her passing, her family has raised three quarters of a million dollars for Roger’s House in her memory. For more on Maddy Otto, see From the Other Side on page 6.

Barrhaven Legion Branch # 641 raises 16,000 pairs of socks for the homeless It takes many people to facilitate giving 16,000 pairs of socks to homeless men, women and children in our community. These people donate socks, the volunteers gather, organize and package socks and community service organizations pass the socks along to their clients. For many, being able to open a drawer and choose a pair of dry, warm, clean socks is taken for granted.

For many others, this is a comfort they do not enjoy.

This is the third year that David and Marion Rattray have spearheaded the Barrhaven Legion

Branch #641 community initiative and the second year that they have been joined as partners in this endeavour by fellow Branch members, Dave and Debi Sereda. With a very late start in the first year, less than 1,000 pairs of socks were collected.

In 2016 the goal of 5,000 was surpassed and 12,000 pairs were collected. This year, the team was thrilled to collect more than 16,000 pairs of socks. Representatives from the Ottawa Mission, Shepherds of Good Hope, Operation Come Home, Ottawa Innercity Ministries, St. Joe’s

Women’s Centre, Youville Centre, Cornerstone and the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health were on hand to receive their socks donations. Each representative provided a brief presentation on their work in the community and expressed their gratitude for the donations.

In addition, hundreds of socks were also collected for several women’s shelters and they have been delivered separately and privately.

The team was pleased to welcome Giant Tiger this year as a corporate sponsor. Senior Man-

David and Marion Rattray, Councillor Jan Harder, Giant Tiger brand manager Alison Scarlett, Barrhaven Legion President Bert Boehme, Debi and Dave Sereda and Councillor Michael Qaqish pose with more than 16,000 socks that were collected by the Barrhaven Legion community initiative to benefit local charities.

ager, Brand Communications for Giant Tiger, Alison Scarlett attended the event which was held on

Monday, December 18 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #641. Alison shared how proud she

and Giant Tiger were to be supporters of this important Legion community project.

g n i r u Bachelor and bachelorette ideas! t a e F Affordable bachelor and bachelorette party ideas Weddings can be expensive. Various sources estimate the average cost of weddings is anywhere from $26,000 to $31,000.

Couples and their parents may bear the brunt of wedding expenses, but those who have accepted a role in the wedding party also can expect their share of expenses.

Taking into account gifts, wardrobes, makeup, bridal showers, and travel, including getting to and from the bachelor/ bachelorette party, bridal party members are on the hook for a lot of money when their friends or family members tie the knot.

Many men and women like to travel for their bachelor/bachelorette parties, and costconscious bridal party members may be

concerned about how expensive such parties can be. Pulling out all the stops can be exciting, but there’s no guarantee these types of parties will be more enjoyable than simpler soirées.

Taking steps to control costs can help cost-conscious couples and their friends.

The following are some affordable ideas that can be fun for all involved. · Local Bar, pub or tavern crawl: Partygoers typically want to enjoy a night out on the town, and traveling from one establishment to another can be a fun way to do just that. Everyone invited can set themselves apart with a signature item (hat, T-shirt, or colored clothing), and make the rounds.

· Attend a group event: Group events include sporting events, concerts, theater shows, or a night at a comedy club. Investigate discounted tickets for large groups. · Belt out the tunes: Open mic nights at restaurants, bars and other establishments around town may make for a fun way for friends to share a few laughs together. Participants need not be professional singers to join in on the festivities. · Dinner party: Hire a caterer to visit your house and prepare a meal for guests. Serve a signature cocktail and let the conversation flow.

Bachelor and bachelorette parties can be affordable without sacrificing fun.

The IndependentCOMMUNITY Vintner’s Cellar made 2017 a great year for wine in Barrhaven

Sometimes, Anthony Prosty has a hard time believing that Vintner’s Cellar has already been in business for one year.

“Time has really flown by,” he said.

Anthony is celebrating the first anniversary of his business with a special promotion for $20 off a batch of wine as a sincere THANK-YOU to all his customers. Although the offer is available to all customers until the end of March, Anthony is hoping that new customers will come to his location at Fallowfield and Woodroffe to see what Vintner’s Cellar has to offer.

“It took a few months to build it up, but it has been awesome,” said Anthony.

“Most of my customers are repeat customers, and it has been great to get to know them all.”

Anthony’s business has seen rapid growth mainly due to the quality of the wine at Vintner’s Cellar.

“I know that we are the closest thing to a commercial winery in the city,” he said matter-of-factly. “It has to do with the process in our wine making. We have the highest quality of juices on the market, and we use a six-week brewing process rather than a four-week process.”

Anthony has always wanted to be in business for himself, and he had always envisioned doing something in the food and beverage industry. It stems from his enjoyment of cooking, especially for friends.

After graduating from university, he spent six years in retail and then another 15 in high tech.

“I went through the boom and then the bust,” he said. “After that, I knew I wanted my own shop.”

The idea for opening Vintner’s Cellar started after he bought wine at a make-your-own wine shop.

“I realized that there was no longer a brew on premise in Barrhaven and said to myself that this was my opportunity. The

one thing that I remember, though, was that the wine I bought was not very good. I wanted to have a product that was high quality.”

Once the seed was planted in his mind, his passion for the business helped fast track it off the ground.

“Within a month, I had a complete business plan and I started investigating going with a franchise or doing it 100 per cent by myself,” he said. “Quickly I realized that I did not know how to set up a production floor nor what to buy and where to buy it.”

Anthony investigated a number of different franchises, and decided that Vintner’s Cellar out of Toronto was the best fit.

“After a talk with the franchisor I went to one of the stores and bought five batches of wine,” he said. “It was fantastic.

It was consistent, and the quality was exceptional. I thought it was as good or even better than many that I have had at the LCBO – certainly on par with some very good wines.”

Anthony said that Vint-

ner’s Cellar has been extremely helpful to him. He received extensive training, and the company has been very supportive “and is just a phone call away.” The products carry a guarantee where if the customer is not satisfied, the product will be replaced. “We haven’t had to do that very often at all,” Anthony said.

Vintner’s Cellar has 60 different wines to choose from. Each batch of wine makes 29-30 750 ml bottles. The prices range from $120 to $250 per batch.

“Quality through and through is the Vintner’s Cellar way,” said Anthony. “Regardless of the quality level of wine that you choose, we allow six weeks to process the wine, which includes at least four weeks devoted to fermentation. This extended fermentation time ensures that the sugars turn into alcohol and you get a true wine taste instead of a sweet cooler.”

The process of making wine is very simple.

Customers select their wine with the help of the experts, and then start the fermentation pro-

cess. Then in six weeks, customers come in and bottle and cork their wine with Anthony’s help. Customers can even custom make their labels, which is included in the price.

“Our most popular quality level wine is our Supreme 100% juice,” Anthony said. “This comes in over 40 varieties of wine and since it is 100% juice, it has a very high amount of natural sugar. Therefore, your wine is not only smooth, but it also it also has a fairly high alcohol level.”

Anthony said that within a year, he has gotten to know most of his customers quite well. He said they have become more than customers and are almost like consultants.

“They give me tremendous feedback on everything they try,” he said.

“And many of them like their wine and recommend us to their friends.

Some of the customers have go-to wines that they order time and time again, while some like to experiment and try different wines each time.

We often talk about aging,

storing, tannin levels, histamines and sulfates”.

Anthony reads a lot about wine so as to aid his customer in their selection.

Anthony said that it is during the bottling process that he gets to know his customers and what they like.

“Truly, I’ve never had so much fun at ‘work’ in my life,” he said. “Customers come in with a grin and they are happy to select their wine. Six weeks later, we spend half

an hour together bottling the wine and just talking about wine.

That’s important time that we have together. We have been successful because we build relationships, and that’s when we really get to know our customers and build those relationships.”

Community Police Officer Message

January is the time of year that many people leave this winter wonderland and head south for a few weeks or even a few months. Please be mindful before you leave to ensure your home has been left as safe as it possibly can.

Below are some safety tips to remember: Here are some tips to make your home appear occupied: - Don’t post on social media that you are going away. Also, avoid posting those amazing vacation photos until you have returned home.

Have someone

shovel the driveway and collect the mail - Take out the garbage - Set some lights on timers (set the timer to random, if possible) If you’ve purchased valuables items like electronics, cut up the boxes so as not to advertise that you have these expensive items.

This is especially something to keep in mind around the holiday season. Also, ask a neighbour to check on the house regularly. Due to the cold temperature, if a window is broken, it won’t take long for the house to cool down which may cause other problems. Be a good neighbour. Keep an eye out for each other. Know your neighbour if you haven’t taken the time to introduce yourself.

Following the Trail Something is foul in Half Moon Bay. Residents in the community have been complaining about the smells coming from the Trail Road Landfill Site since the summer. The smell, like a long Ottawa Senators slump, just seems to keep lingering and won’t go away.

Barrhaven Councillor Jan Harder has received numerous complaints about the odors since last summer. She is working with city staff to find solutions to the problem. She was told by city staff that the likely cause in the increase in odor was the increased amount of precipitation last summer.

The province has three-kilometre buffer zones around landfill sites.

The Half Moon Bay community is outside that three-kilometre perimeter. The odors were never really a concern to residents of the community until this year. They are hoping that it is something that is a temporary problem.

Scientifically, the extra moisture creates more bacteria. This speeds up the decomposition and liquification of the garbage, creating the odours. Harder, always able to put things beautifully into layman’s terms, referred to it in a CBC interview as “garbage juice.” It is the garbage juice that is creating the gasses that are escaping into the air and causing the problems in Half Moon Bay. This month, the city is introducing a pilot project to try and reduce the odours coming from the landfill site. They are installing a new system around the landfill to try and capture the gases. In the meantime, Harder is encouraging residents to use their green bins, as many of the decomposing items causing the smell are from rotting food.

While there is a bit of a wait-and-see as to how the pilot project will work, the implications of the problem are serious. Harder is aware of that, and knowing the relentless fighter and champion of the community is, we know she is on it.

The most serious consequences are in the real estate market. While the BIA is doing an exceptional job in trying to attract corporate-level jobs to Barrhaven, the meat and potatoes of business in Barrhaven is development and real estate. Home owners in Half Moon Bay have made the biggest investment of their lives by buying homes in Half Moon Bay. The real estate industry and developments are counting on this problem to be solved. A market collapse in that community may be a stretch, but no one wants to see a stigma attached to Half Moon Bay that could lead to homes losing their values and new builds sitting vacant.

In the mean time, we can all just sit tight. And maybe pick up some Fabreze on our next trip to the store.

Santa Parade sponsorship only a part of Allstate’s commitment to community

Since you have been open, you have seen the community in Barrhaven grow around you. Has that helped you in your commitment to the community?

Allstate Canadas’s commitment to the community has always been strong, however as Barrhaven has continued to grow and expand, so has our agency, which has allowed us the opportunity help and support even more customers.

Our community involvement has also grown over the years.

Once again, you were involved as a sponsor of the annual Barrhaven

Santa Claus Parade. Tell us a little bit about what that parade and sponsorship means for your Allstate.

The Parade is an event we look forward to each and every year. It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to engage with the community and we love to see the kids as excited about the floats as we are! The parade also offers us a chance to work together, as a team, outside of the office in a fun way. Brainstorming ideas for the float is a fantastic creative outlet and the fact we can get our families involved in the process makes it even better.

What are some of the other community-building endeavours Allstate does, locally and/or nationally?

We work with and support a variety of different initiatives within the com-

munity. Some of which include the Barrhaven Food Cupboard, Kids Come First Golf Tournament and The Ride for Dad. At a national level, Allstate Canada has been a proud supporter of MADD Canada for over 30 years, in addition to sponsoring the United Way and partnering with Canada Soccer, just to name a few.

Customer service and commitment to the community fuel success

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Three years since an ownership change and two years after changing its name to Surgenor Barrhaven Chevrolet-BuickGMC, little more than the sign on the building has changed.

For a half century, the dealership on Prince of Wales Drive operated as Jack May Pontiac Buick GMC. Becoming part of the Surgenor Group has strengthened the dealership while maintaining the Jack May principals.

“Our dealership is as much about people as it is about cars,” said Andrew McGurn, Dealer Principal at Surgenor Barrhaven.

“It’s about relationships.

We have maintained a lot of relationships with longtime Jack May customers, and we have built relationships with our new customers.”

One of the things that made the transition easy was the staff. The vast ma-

jority of the more than 50 employees stayed with the dealership through the change in ownership and branding.

“A lot of our success is due to our staff being out there in the community,” McGurn said. “People coming in and they know our staff members. Maybe they first dealt with our sales people on the front line, but then they meet our service people and the rest of our staff.”

McGurn said that Surgenor Barrhaven is big on community involvement. Their sponsorship of the Barrhaven Santa Claus Parade is just part of their commitment to the community.

“Surgenor Barrhaven is a family business with family values, just like the Jack May dealership was,” McGurn said. In fact, Surgenor Barrhaven’s General Manager Darren Curry is the grandson of Jack May. The Jack May dealership popped up along Prince of

Surgenor Barrhaven is located on Prince of Wales Drive between Jockvale and Strandherd.

Wales Drive in 1965, just after Mel Barr started developing the Larkin Farm into a housing development that would be the first phase of the new Barrhaven community. The Nepean Township location put the dealership north of Manotick and east of Barrhaven. Over the next half century, both commun-

ities would grow toward Jack May. Eventually, the dealership would become part of Barrhaven as the community stretched to the Rideau River to the east.

“Our location is great,” said McGurn. “We are right in the middle of Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South. As the area grows,

we are growing with it.”

While little has changed with regards to staff and the level of customer service at Surgenor Barrhaven, McGurn said there are some advantages that have come with the change.

“We have added more staff,” said McGurn. “We also have a greater selection of vehicles because of

the size of our inventory with Surgenor ownership.”

From the sales staff to the customer service to the service department to the inventory, McGurn said it is all about one thing.

The IndependentCommunity Barrhaven singer Kelsey Hayes to ‘get jazzy’ at Winter Jazzfest

Kelsey Hayes is taking another big step in her career.

The young Barrhaven singer-songwriter will be performing at the Mercury Lounge on February 8, a performance that is part of the Winter JazzFest series.

From humble beginnings as a vocalist, the fourth-year Carleton U Bachelor of Music student has branched out into writing her own material.

Drawing on her own experiences, Hayes has created her own unique style of indie-pop, creating a ‘genuine and soulful sound.’

Hayes released her debut EP at the Mercury Lounge in the fall of 2015.

In 2016, the now

21-year-old made her international debut, touring multiple cities in China between playing shows at Bluesfest and the CityFolk

Festival in Ottawa.

Hayes will be releasing her newest EP in conjunction with this Jazzfest performance. Doors at 9pm.

Hayes hits the stage at 10:30p.m.

The Mercury Lounge is located in the ByWard

Market Square.

Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 in advance through Eventbrite:

Filing a Traffic Complaint with the Ottawa Police Service (OPS)

It is sometimes hard to know the best place to file a traffic complaint. There are a few different channels that you can choose. If there is immediate danger in any situation it is always best to call 9-1-1 however if there is no immediate danger there are other ways that the police can still be alerted. Whether you have specific details or not, you can report directly using their online reporting option at ottawapolice.ca/onlinereporting or if you do not

have access to a computer, you can always call 613-236-1222 ext 7300. These complaints would include speeding, distracted driving and generally not adhering to the laws of the road. Data from reports will be used to better direct OPS resources towards proactive policing measures. This will enhance safety for road users city-wide.

Selective Traffic Enforcement Program

This month STEP will focus on following too close and stop sign violations in the City of Ottawa. Between 2012 and 2016, following too

close was the cause of 24,726 traffic collisions, 9,290 injuries and 7 fatalities. Throughout the same timeframe there were 3,129 collisions involving drivers who failed to stop at stop signs. There are some shocking numbers and we all have to do our part to make sure when we are on the roads we are driving safe and following the rules and posted speed limits.

The IndependentFOCUS ON YOUTH Honour roll student-athlete proud to be part of mental health solution Name: Jackson Bennett Age: 17 Grade: 12 School: St. Francis Xavier High Parents: Jay and Kerri Bennett Sister: Amelia (Mia for short) (15), grade 10, St. Francis Xavier High. “She swims on a very competitive synchronized swimming team. Her team competes at the provincial level. They are historically very successful, winning the provincial title on multiple occasions. She loves it very much, but it’s not her passion. Her dream is to one day attend John Hopkins for medical school, and to eventually become a cardiovascular surgeon.”

Pet: “I have a cat named Bobo. She has been a part of my family for as long as I can remember as we adopted her in October of 2002. My mother also has a “doggy daycare”. One could say we have many different dogs. In fact – over 250 of them.”

Pet Peeves: “One of my biggest pet peeves, as I’m sure most high schoolers can relate to, is slow walkers in the halls, as well as big crowds of people standing in the middle of the halls. We don’t have a whole lot of time to get to class, and the halls are not very wide, so there really isn’t any room for the slow walkers and hall blockers.

It is quite frustrating.”

Part-time Work: “I just started as a host at a restaurant in Manotick called The Black Dog. I really love it. I love interacting with people, and since that is essentially my job, I really do enjoy it. If you have never been there, I cannot recommend it enough as the food is fantastic, and everyone is very friendly.”

Favourite Subjects: “My favourite subjects in school

are just about any business course, as that is the career path that I would like to pursue. Currently I am taking Economics, which I really enjoy. Next semester I’m taking a Sports Management course.”

What are currently ready for pleasure? “The books I enjoy reading the most are of the fantasy genre. For example, one of my favourite series is the Percy Jackson Series which is a five-part series written by my favourite author Rick Riordan. It focuses on the adventures of a teenage boy as he discovers the realm of Greek mythology.

They are very captivating, as Rick Riordan really makes you feel like a fly on the wall the entire time. I also enjoy reading sports related magazines, such as Golf Digest and Hockey News.”

Achievements: “Some of my proudest achievements include winning the Director of Education Award in grade 6, making the Honour Roll every year since grade 7, and amassing over 50 medals and trophies from various sports over the years. The Director of Education Award goes to “the most exemplary, studious, and all around excellent” for that year; undoubtedly making it my most proud achievement.

I’m also very proud of achieving at least an 80% average every year since grade 7. The Honour Roll is something that has motivated me all throughout middle and high school, and will continue to inspire me to do my best throughout university.

My favourite sports are golf, hockey, baseball, and skiing. At any given point in time, anyone of the four could be my favourite,

PEDORTHICS Q: How do I determine if I need a foot orthotic?

A: If you are experiencing foot or lower limb discomfort, ask your physician if a referral to a Canadian Certified Pedorthist would help. A detailed Derek Gilmer Canadian Certified Pedorthist assessment from an orthotic and footwear expert such as a Pedorthist can confirm if a foot orthotic will assist you with a particular foot, lower limb or even back problem. The objective of a foot orthotic is to help reduce unnecessary stresses and/or pain by either re-aligning your feet within your footwear or accommodating specific conditions or deformities.

PHaRmaCEUTICal Q: I’m ready to quit smoking.

What do you suggest?

A:

Develop an action plan to improve your chances of quitting. Writing the plan down will help you think more carefully about what you need to do and how you will approach it. Try the following: • Pick a day as your “quit date,” which is Dana macDonald the day you intend to stop smoking. Write Pharmacist this date down.

• Make a list of the important benefits of quitting and read it over before and after you quit. Use this list while you are trying to quit to remind yourself of your reasons for quitting.

• List the situations in which you smoke and the reasons why you smoke – this will help you identify what “triggers” you to light up.

• List fun and healthy activities to replace smoking, and be ready to do these when you feel the urge to smoke.

Talk to your Pharmasave pharmacist about medications or nicotine replacement therapy to help make the process more successful.

John McCrae Bulldogs run away from St. Mark to win fifth straight game

By Jeff Morris The John McCrae Secondary School Bulldogs continued their run in the NCSSAA Senior Boys Basketball League with a 70-62 win over St. Mark in Barrhaven Monday.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a 42-27 halftime lead and coasted to their fifth victory in as many games. St. Mark rallied late in the fourth quarter with a string of threepointers, but they were never in reach of John McCrae.

McCrae coach Kris Dale knew that he would have a good team this year, but even he is pleased with the 5-0 start.

“It’s a good group that gets along very well,” said coach Kris Dale.

“That really is the key to

our offensive success.

They are willing to share the ball, they are happy for each other when they make good plays, and defensively, they communicate. They really do a good job of playing as a five-man unit.”

Dale has coached many of the players since Grade 9, and added that a few new players from the school’s high-performance athlete program have bolstered the roster.

“The group gelled in spring practices and in the fall, we hit the ground running and we were ready by the time the games rolled around,” said Dale.

The Bulldogs earned wins over St. Pius, West Carleton, Omer Deslauriers and Nepean before beating St. Mark.

The eight-point win Monday was their closest game of the season.

“I knew that we had a strong team coming in and that we would be successful, but there are some strong teams in this league. Five and oh is a nice position to be in, but there are still a few more games to play before we get too excited about things.”

The Bulldogs were scheduled to play Thursday against Merivale before the league shuts down for exams. Their final two regular season games are Feb. 5 and 8 against Holy Trinity and South Carleton.

John McCrae senior boys basketball coach Kris Dale huddles with his team during their win against St. Mark Monday.

Heart failure to blame as community mourns passing of former Jr. B goalie

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

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

“He had gone downtown to join some friends,” she said. “They had ordered some nachos, and he told one of his friends he wasn’t feeling well. He had only been there about

15 minutes. He got up to go to outside for some fresh air, and he collapsed. He had a heart condition, and his heart just stopped.”

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

The news was devastating for Lowry’s family and his large circle of friends.

A former Nepean Raiders prospect and a graduate of École Secondaire FrancoCité, Lowry had played Junior B hockey for three seasons with the Winchester Hawks. He was best known for being one of the few goalies to ever score a goal in the league, as he netted a goal against the Ottawa Jr. Canadians. The Hawks issued a statement

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

He had been coaching young goaltenders in the area, and he had studied at Carleton University.

“He was such a wonderful kid,” his mother said.

“The kids that he coached loved him, and they were heartbroken.”

Lowry also had a bright future.

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

Lowry was born in Yellowknife and, according to his family, was very proud of being from the Northwest Territories. He had images of the NWT on

some of his goalie masks, and he had a tattoo on his shoulder of a wolf with the northern lights.

According to his mom, Brandon was humble and did not like to have his picture taken. He wanted the spotlight to be on those around him.

“Playing goal on a team was something special for him and loved it,” said Al McCambridge. “Brandon was a very humble boy and did not like getting the attention from when he played stellar games. He would walk quickly from the dressing room, head down to the car as the mom and dads congratulated him and cheered him.”

Funeral services were held earlier this month at

The Honda for All

Capital Gardens and Cemetery in Barrhaven.

Brandon Lowry passed away at the age of 23 from a heart condition. He was on a career path to become an RCMP officer.
