DINING OUT ng Featuri

The art of making friends

Friends and social connections are important

The importance of friends cannot be overstated. Maintaining a healthy group of friends can help relieve stress by enabling a person to have a go-to network of close companions with whom to share the ups and downs of life.

The Mayo Clinic says that friends can increase one’s sense of belonging and purpose; help one cope with trauma; encourage change and help one improve his or her self-confidence and self-worth. The medical group also says that people with strong social support systems have a reduced risk of depression, high blood pressure and unhealthy weights.

While friends are important, some people find that making new friends

— particularly in adulthood — can be challenging. That’s because making friends may not be too great a priority compared to caring for families or tending to work responsibilities.

Those resolving to broaden their social circles can explore these tips for making new friends.

• Start at school. School is often the first place children make friends, but school also can be a great place for adults to meet new people. By attending school functions, you will be thrust into a circle of people similar to you. Parents who get to know their childrens’ friends’ parents may find that they have more in common than just their children.

• Join groups. Kids find it easy to make friends due to consistency.

They see the same kids each day at school and through sports teams and clubs. Adults can replicate this consistency by joining groups that spark their interests, finding like-minded people who meet week after week.

• Go on a blind “date.” Have a friend set you up with a mutual friend and see if there is a connection there.

You may be able to make new friends simply from an introduction.

• Take the lead. Pursue a new friendship by taking some initiative.

Invite someone out for coffee or over to your home for a glass of wine. Follow up afterward to say you had a good time.

• Be positive. Be conscious of what you are adding to a potential friendship. Start off the relationship adding

LOADS OF

“IN HOUSE ITEMS MADE FRESH FROM SCRATCH”

value and joy to the other person’s life, and he or she may be more inclined to do the same. Over time, you can have conversations about rough patches in your lives but wait until the friendship is firmly established to get so serious.

There is no magic number of friends a person should have, but individuals should value quality over quantity. Making friends may seem complicated, but it is actually easier than adults may think when they put themselves out there and shows a willingness to build relationships.

• Go to an interesting or fun place that will allow everyone to relax and unwind from the stresses of everyday life, it’s always easier to be yourself when you are relaxed.

In my last column, I provided an update on the Clapp Lane development at 1125 Clapp Lane.

As many of you are likely aware, this is a property that was acquired by the City of Ottawa and subsequently sold for the development of a seniors independent living centre by the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation. The builder is Reichmann Seniors Housing. RSH acquired the property from Joe Princiotta following the sale from the City.

Further to the last update, you can expect to see activity on the site this week. The general contractor, Laurin, will be setting up their trailer as well as fencing and signage. Over the next two weeks, the contractor will carry out work to prepare the two houses for demolition. Both demolition and tree removal are scheduled to begin April 9th.

Pijselman says Richmond Oaks Medical Centre to be a first class facility of 7000 served by the new medical staff the degree to which increased services were needed has been amply demonstrated.

While the Medical Centre is not currently taking new patients there is a plan to welcome up to another 4000 patients when the new space is available.

According to Sarrazin new contracts are being signed for June when two more doctors and a pediatrician will join the staff bringing the total complement to twelve.

Along with the new facility and additional staff it will be possible to offer evening and weekend hours as well as “walk-in” services for patients of the clinic.

Kim Pijselman, owner of Cedarstone Homes and a well known builder in Richmond, is constructing the Medical Centre.

“Weather has been a factor but I am hopeful the structure will be ready by the end of May. All the infrastructure and asphalt is in place. Even the pads are in for the next two facilities. The final landscaping will of course have to wait until spring.

It is going to be a first rate facility” stated Pijselman

Kim Pijselman giving the project a thumbs up despite the weather.

RichmondHub.ca photo

Pijselman is quick to give high praise to his framing team from Cedarstone as well as a host of well known local contractors such as Thomas Cavanagh Construction and Westborough Utilities for their quality work on the project.

The new Richmond Oaks Medical Centre will be a welcome addition to the community of Richmond. Given the cramped quarters at the current location it is a pretty safe bet that nobody will be more pleased to see the new facility open than the patients and staff who are “ready to move as soon as the new building opens!!”

It is hard to miss the rapidly rising structure of the new Richmond Oaks Medical Centre on Perth Street. The centre holds the promise of a new level of medical service for residents of the area coupled with a new pharmacy, physiotherapy services and laboratory services.

As the centre and population grows provision has also been made for expansion.

Donna Sarrazin recognized the need for increased services in the area and took the initiative to conceive and promote the project. She can take credit for igniting much of what is happening. She worked tirelessly to bring together investors, the medical community and businesses to make this project a reality.

In order to staff the new clinic Sarrazin recruited nine doctors who currently practice from the offices of the Richmond Goulbourn Medical Clinic. Doctors L.M. and H.R. Rabb faithfully served the community for years from the existing clinic. The old facility served the community well but is now inadequate for the needs of a growing community.

The valley, as she calls it, is something Bailey is focused on avoiding. She relies on a strong network of support from her husFROM THE band, family, friends, and her church.

Her outlook has become an inspiration for other patients of PAH, as well as those

by Jeff Morris around her.

“Some patients of PAH go into the valley,” Bailey said. “Facing death is not easy, but really, we are all dying, just at different rates, and we are all going to die. I just take it one day at a time and focus on living, not dwelling on dying.”

The disease has limited the things that Bailey can do. She was an avid golfer and is still passionate abut the game. She also has a goal in mind.

“We call it the six-minute marathon,” she says. “For someone with PAH to be able to walk for six minutes is a big challenge, and it shows remarkable progress. That’s one of the goals I am aiming for.”

In an effort to say thank you, give back to the community and to assist other PAH patients, Bailey is helping to organize the Unmasking PH Masquerade Ball. The event will GR O C Ebe R held May 5, which is World Pulmonary Hypertension Day. There are similar events going on in Vancouver and Calgary on the same day.

“I thought a masquerade ball would be good because it is an invisible disease,” Bailey said.

The event takes place Sat., May 5 at the Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa. The evening will include a hearty buffet meal, live music, an abundance of items to bid on at the silent auction table, an exciting variety of live auction items too and also a few words shared by PH patients and their caregivers just to shed some insight on this chronic and progressive lung disease, and more.

Tickets are $50 per person. Donations for the silent auction table are always welcomed as well as any monetary donations too. All funds are going towards supporting Pulmonary Hypertension patients and to research in the field of PH. Tickets are $50 and are available by calling Barb at (613) 294-7884 or Joanne at (613) 282-1862.

MANOTICK MESSENGER

The MessengerLETTERS Greely Grandmas respond to Andy Braid’s anti-Conservative rant

The Editor, In reply to Andy Braid’s usual anti- Jeff Morris and anything conservative, the Greely Grandma’s will reply.

We thoroughly enjoy Mr. Morris’s columns which are humourous, caring, informative and include a variety of subjects. In our last attempted defence of the conservatives, we were compared to woeful Toronto Maple Leaf sup-

porters with no brain cells and blind support.

How kind and enlightening! As an aside, the Leafs are doing better.

As far as Mr. Braid’s assessment of the leadership candidates all reading from a Republican Party Teleprompter , how insulting to sincere people who put their beliefs ,time and money on the line and try to get elected to public office. Each Conservative

candidate represents a credible point of view.

Caroline Mulroney is a well educated, young mother and bravo for her. Christine Elliot has served and cared about this province for many years and we need more people like her running for office. Granic Allen has legitimate concerns about several issues and expressed herself with great passion. Doug Ford has concerns around

debt, hydro costs and jobs. Who doesn’t?

As usual Mr. Braid hurls the alt-right and neo-con barbs.

Ontario is in big trouble and we do desperately need a change of government and direction! We do not see the NDP holding the balance of power as good news!

The words “insider progressive” are mentioned. These are red flags for us, which usu-

ally mean people who are condescending, smarter and always have the one and only right answers on issues. We would like to know which party Mr. Braid supports. Any guesses or would he show his true colours, other than constant criticism and hateful remarks or has he already by slamming one party regularly.

There is lots to say about how the Liberals have run this province!!!

Sincerely, The Greely Grandmas Colleen Nottell Sylvia P. MacDonald Ed. Note – In his rant in the last issue, I seem to remember that Andy indirectly endorsed Andrea Horvath and the NDP. He must be out there longing for the return of Rae Days. As for me, I am totally influenced by who has the most lawn signs. In the next election I am supporting Royal LePage. JM

The clocks have changed, the snow is melting, and Spring is on its way Yes, it’s almost Spring!

What a great time of the year. In some respects it’s only because of the winter season, in giving us the cold, snowy, blustery weather, that we fully appreciate the wonder of spring. Thanks winter!

Welcome Spring!

Spring comes as subtly as snow in the night.

It slips up on you with its vague powdering of green. The trees naked and wind-tossed one day, the next are beaded with buds and standing serene. The grass has suddenly turned from brown to green, One of my favourite times of the year is April and May when each tree is a different shade of green; when I see that I know that spring really has sprung. Open the windows, invite the outdoors in, enjoy the sounds of the birds, the warmth of the sunshine – you’ll feel like a new person – until you realize that spring usually means spring cleaning!

Winter always gives way to Spring; we can trust the seasons and their timing but we find ourselves in a transitional state. Transitions are in-between-times or periods of waiting. Many of us find it uncomfortable and frustrating to wait and are usually ready to jump into the next thing. Transitions are usually subtle and change rarely happens overnight and might

Spring brings many beautiful things – daffodils, crocus, tulips, and lilacs in a variety of colours. Evenings are longer with rose-gold sunsets, stars are brighter, the moon is rounder, rain is warmer, clouds are fluffier, birds sing louder as

they flit about building nests and grass grows, the earth has stirred anew.

Chicks and bunnies appear; children laugh and

shout as they toss the frisbee, skip ropes, fly kites, play ball and soccer.

Committee to discuss development charges for new housing in Manotick The City’s Planning Committee will be discussing a proposed bylaw amendment to ensure new development in Manotick will pay charges to cover the costs of sewer and water services to those developments. The two developments that could proceed this year are Riverwalk at the corner of Kelly Marie Drive and Main Street and a smaller project on Antiochi Drive. The amendment is required as it is anticipated these projects will proceed prior to the next comprehensive development charges review in 2018-19. This item was approved by the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) in February. Once approved by the Planning Committee, it will go to the full Council. Information can be found in the minutes of ARAC of February 1.

Walking Club returns

The Manotick Walking Club has returned to the upstairs of the Manotick Arena as of March 19th. This is a gentle indoor Walking Program for those who want to remain active. There is no charge.

Stay as little or as long as you want. The Program operates every Monday and Friday, 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. For more information contact Sonia at bluegramz@rogers.com

Barrhaven South Urban Expansion

The City is moving forward with the development of lands north of Barnsdale and west of Greenbank, in an area known as Barrhaven South. Following three public consultation meetings on a community development plan for the new community of 1200 homes, the City is proposing a zoning amendment to adjust the urban boundary to include lands on the corner of Greenbank and Barnsdale Roads. This new parcel will replace land adjacent to sand and gravel pits

that cannot be developed until the pits stop operating. The result of the “swap” is that the amount of urban land available for development will remain the same. Although the proposed parcel of land was originally designed agricultural, the Ontario Municipal Board had re-designated this land as General Rural Area, making it eligible for development. The proposed development will include a park and ride, two schools, a commercial plaza, a range of housing types, parks and storm water management ponds.

MANOTICK MESSENGER

The meaning of Good Friday Good Friday is a Christian holiday that is celebrated every year on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday. Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary, the location outside of Jerusalem’s walls where the crucifixion took place.

Though Good Friday is considered a holiday and is a legal holiday in many countries across the globe, the commemoration is not characterized by the festive atmosphere many holidays inspire. In fact, in the fourth century, the Apostolic Constitutions described Good Friday as a day of mourning and prayer. In addition,

many Christians fast on Good Friday, eating only one full meal and two smaller meals that do not add up to a full meal.

Christians believe that commemorating the death of Christ helps to remind them of the sacrifices that Christ made and the human sin that contributed to his death.

The observance of Good Friday has existed for centuries. According to Catholic Online, the Catholic Church does not celebrate Mass on Good Friday, though church services held on Good Friday correspond to the divisions of a traditional Mass. These services include the Liturgy of the Word, dur-

ing which the Passion of Jesus Christ is read; the intercessory prayers for all people, including non-Christians; the Veneration of the Cross, during which the crucifix is unveiled to the congregation; and the Holy Communion. During these services, the church organ and bells are silent.

Good Friday is one of the holiest days of the year for Christians across the globe. This year Good Friday is celebrated on April 14.

The MessengerCommunity Local singer-songwriter goes from the red carpet to the Red Dot Perhaps there is not a lot of reason to watch the Ottawa Senators down the stretch this season, but there is a reason for local fans.

St. Mark High School graduate Stephanie LaRochelle will be singing the national anthem at Canadian Tire Centre before the March 22 game against Edmonton. She has been on a rotation throughout the season and has become somewhat of a regular at Sens games.

If you can’t make it in for the game, she will also be performing at the Red Dot Café in Osgoode Tues., March 27. While she won’t be singing O Canada at the Red Dot, the local singer-songwriter will be performing some of her original material.

“I grew up going to that restaurant so I am really looking forward to it,” LaRochelle said of playing at the Red Dot. “I will be playing on the bar side. It’s a cute little atmosphere, and it’s great that they are featuring some live music and I am happy to be a part of it.”

LaRochelle gained national prominence six years ago when she was the runner-up in the CBC reality series Over the Rainbow.

“Over the Rainbow has opened up a lot of doors for me,” she said. “I got an agent, I started working in TV and film a little bit, and now I am working on some original music.”

LaRochelle is releasing a single within the next few months. Her new song is called ‘Just For Tonight.’

With files from Mike Carroccetto

St. Mark High School graduate Stephanie LaRochelle is singing the national anthem for the Ottawa Senators this week. Next week, she is performing at the Red Dot Café in Osgoode.

Despite the weather, Councillor’s third annual Irish Tea another success Think week we had a fantastic afternoon celebrating my 3rd Annual Irish Tea at the Metcalfe Town Hall! Even though the weather was not the best, it didn’t stop people from coming in to enjoy some great live music by Spencer Scarf and some fiddling and dancing by the Warren children! The transformation of the Town Hall into an “Irish green” party room was spectacular, all thanks to my staff and volunteers.

As always the Greely Lions and Volunteer Firefighters came out to serve tea and help guests to their seats. The tables were full and chairs lined the walls with residents smiling and clapping along to the music. It was great to see Mayor Watson, MP Pierre Poilievre, MPP Lisa MacLeod, Mayor of Russell Township Pierre Leroux,

ITR Presents - A Murder is Announced In this 45th anniversary year, ITR Theatre Company is delighted to bring a whodunit to the stage by arguably one of the best mystery writers of all time, Agatha Christie. “A Murder is Announced” was first published in 1950 and was Christie’s 50th book.

This current play adaptation was written by Leslie Darbon in 1977.

An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house’s several

occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined Inspector grimly following the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation just before the final curtain.

Tickets for this show are currently on sale and can be purchased at www. itrtheatre.com or by calling 613-800-1165. Come on out to the show and help ITR celebrate 45 years of great entertainment.

youth continues from page 16 I’ve played volleyball since grade six. It is a sport I have grown to love. It’s an amazing sport that requires a lot of teamwork, and becomes more exciting the better you get.

I’ve been very lucky to have had awesome team mates over the years, as well as amazing coaches, who share my love for the game. I’m super excited for the season to start off this year, and looking forward to getting back on the court.

This year I also played on the Sevens Rugby Team. It was the first year I had ever played rugby, and I had a blast!

It’s unlike any sport I’ve ever played, and being out on the field gives you a total adrenaline rush.

I wish I had worked up the courage to join this team when I was in grade nine.

I’m also involved in our Free the Children Club, and Leadership Camp.

The Free the Children Club organizes fundraisers, such as a coffee house, raffles, and a clothing drive to help people in our community and the world.

I’m also a Skillbuilder at Leadership Camp, which is my favourite weekend of the entire year. The Skillbuilders, alongside a couple of very devoted teachers, spend almost the entire year organizing a weekend long camp at my school. It’s a weekend full of games and meeting new people. It is one of my absolute favourite things about my high school experience. After a weekend at camp, you will see the school in a whole different way.

Outside of school, I

play ringette, golf, and I water ski; traveling is also one of my great passions. I’ve played ringette since I was seven years old. I love it, since it’s an amazing way to meet new people, and a great source of exercise.

To be honest, my team is never that good, but we all go out there to have fun, and we get over the losses pretty quickly.

I also play golf, because my parents love it, and I work at a golf course. My favourite part about golf, is driving around in the cart, and celebrating the odd time my drive goes farther than anyone else’s.

Golf is an extremely frustrating sport, and I applaud anyone who has the patience to play it regularly.

Water skiing at my cottage is also one of my favourite things to

do. It’s a very peaceful feeling to be out on the water with only your thoughts. I look forward to it every summer.

Finally, travel is one thing that interests me the most. I have been very lucky growing up, to have the opportunity to travel a lot with my family. I learned at a very young age, that this world we live in is huge, and is meant to be discovered. I love the way that every city has its own unique beauty, and that no two places are alike. In future, I plan on going pretty much everywhere, because there are so many new places to see and people to meet.”

Why did you get involved in what you do?

I also hope to be able to travel with my job, because like I said, I love to see the world. Finally, I want a job that I’m passionate about, that I will wake up every morning and be excited to go to, I just don’t know what this job is yet.

Next year I plan on going to university, and potentially going into a Biomedical Sciences Program (I change my mind a lot though).

I think this program would suit me well, because I love science, and it’s what I’m good at.

Hopefully, at some point along the way, I’ll figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I still have a little time before I figure that out.”

She told me that I could get up, go to my classes, then come home, or I could join clubs and sports teams and make the most of my four years.

In high school I’ve tried hard to join everything that I can, and that’s made all the difference. I know a lot of teenagers hate school, and are excited to leave, but I’m the opposite.

I love going to school, and have made some amazing memories and friendships that will last me a lifetime.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over these past four years, it’s that high school teaches you a lot more than what’s in the curriculum.”

Oh brother! Manotick’s Bittens to face off in first round of OHL playoffs When they faced each other for the first time in the Ontario Hockey League this year, Will and Sam Bitten joked about getting into a fight, and who their mom was cheering for.

But now that the playoffs are here, it’s on.

Will, a veteran with the first place Hamilton Bulldogs, will be facing younger brother Sam and the Ottawa 67s in the first round of the OHL playoffs. The first two game of the series are Thursday and Sunday in Hamilton, while Games 3 and 4 are Tuesday and Wednesday (March 2728) at TD Place Arena at Lansdowne in Ottawa.

The Bulldogs have been the class of the OHL this year while the 67s have been an improved team but have ridden a bit of a roller coaster in

the standings. “(The Bulldogs) went for it this year, and they loaded up with a lot of players,” said Sam, the younger of the two brothers. “My brother (Will) is a big part of it. They have a few players who have been signed (to NHL contracts) and they are a stacked team up front and old on the back end.

We’ve got to capitalize on our chances and try to take what we can get.”

Local fans, friends and family are expecting to see the two Bitten brothers on the ice facing each other quite a bit. While Will is a top line point producer for the Bulldogs, Sam will be trying to keep his older brother off the scoresheet.

“I’ve accepted my role this year as a checking forward, and I take pride in my role of trying to

shut down the opposition centres,” Sam said.

“We’re always competitive out there. If it’s a face off or a puck battle in the corner I always want to be the one that takes it to him. It started in the basement playing mini sticks.”

Will Bitten, who turns 20 in the summer, recently signed a contract with the Montreal Canadiens. He was drafted by the Habs in 2016 and is likely headed to the AHL next season to play for the Laval Rocket. Sam Bitten is in this year’s draft. While they are facing each other this year, his dream would be to be drafted by the same team.

“That’s my dream,” Same said. “I grew up as a Habs fan and I was there in Buffalo when my brother got draft-

Manotick’s Jamie Sinclair earns berth in World Curling Championships

By Randy Fletcher As defending United States Women’s Curling Champion, Manotick’s Jamie Sinclair knew her team would have a target on their back as they defended their title during the 2018 Championships, which took place in Fargo, North Dakota the first week of March.

Not only did Team Sinclair post a perfect 7-0 record earning them a spot in the gold medal game, her impeccable 10th end final shot to the button secured her second consecutive National Title, and a spot at the World Curling Championships in North Bay, March 1725.

Sinclair has been part of the U.S. Curling Association’s High Performance Program for four years and despite winning the national title

last year, another team was chosen to represent the U.S.A. at the Worlds.

For Sinclair, who was a born in Alaska and has duel Canada-U.S. Citizenship, the World Championships are the biggest event she’s competed in.

She says her team is prepared to play in front of huge crowds and international media coverage.

“We’ll soak it in, but with our experience at Grand Slam events and the Olympic Trials we know how to deal with pressures on and off the ice at Worlds.”

Sinclair and her team of Monica Walker, Vicky Persinger and Alex Carlson received a bonus with winning the National Championship; invitations to compete in the final two Grand Slam events of the 201718 season. It bodes well as the most successful

season for the 26 year old who began curling at the Manotick Curling Centre at the age of eight, and soon became a local phenom at events in the Ottawa area. Sinclair won back-to-back Ontario Junior Women’s titles and National University Championship, playing for the Carleton Ravens.

Playing at the World Championships just a few hours away will bring a hometown flavour for Sinclair. Many members of the Manotick Curling Centre are planning to make the trip to North Bay to watch Jamie and her team compete, so there will be a larger than usual Team Sinclair cheering section. “More cowbells the better”, says Sinclair, referring to the traditional of clanging of bells and other noisemakers used to acknowledge good shots. Sin-

clair says it will be great to see familiar faces in the crowd. “Manotick is where my dream started.

At every stage of my curling career I’ve been fortunate to have the support of the people of my home town, both at the Curling Centre and within the community.”

Sinclair has successfully competed against most of the teams attending the World Championships so she’s familiar with the style of play each squad brings.

Team Sinclair’s perfect record at the U.S. Nationals proves they have the steady nerves and patience required to compete at the highest levels.

Sinclair’s mission is not just to win curling events; it is to grow the sport wherever she can. She provided expert colour analysis

Manotick’s Jamie Sinclair gets congratulations from her mother after winning the U.S. Curling Championships and earning a spot in this week’s world championships in North Bay.

for NBC Sports during the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Sinclair doesn’t hesitate to help curlers of all ages get into the sport. She has produced a series of curling instructional videos

available on YouTube at CurlupwithJamie, which has received incredible feedback from curlers at every level. But for now, Jamie Sinclair’s main focus is taking on the best teams in the world.
