67's Stars of Tomorrow
The
town of Metcalfe and its minor hockey association had a special visit
from the Ottawa 67s last weekend. The Ontario Hockey League’s Eastern
Conference leaders held their practice at the Larry Robinson Arena in
Metcalfe, and then skated with the 67s’ stars of tomorrow in the
Metcalfe Timbits Hockey Program.

There is a Hodge Podge of curiosity on Tighe St.
It’s
the Olde Curiosity Shoppe, it’s in Manotick and it’s called Hodge
Podge. It’s a delightful medley of curios and post-confederation
antiques, jellies and chutneys, fine coffees and teas, children’s candy
from yesteryear, cheese from down the road and from Ireland, UK
products that are dear to the hearts of ex-pats, like lemon curd,
Yorkshire Tea and real Cadbury chocolate, tiny Victorian hurdy gurdies
and olives from the Monks of St. Athols Island.
Beth Collins’ dream of Hodge Podge began during childhood visits to
Swiss Pastries in Ottawa where European delicacies were splendidly
displayed. She was equally fascinated by Cooke’s in Kingston and
Mrs. McGarrigle’s fine shop in Merrickville.

a little bit of hodge podge and a lot of customer service to their shop
on Tighe Street in Manotick.
