HELP KIDS BE KIDS... NOT PATIENTS. The best care for CHEO’s patients is truly the heart of the matter DONATE NOW SO YOUR GIFT IS DOUBLED
CHEO is embarking on a project to improve the Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite. Creating one, technologically advanced suite will help doctors more accurately diagnose, and more gently treat, CHEO patients. Your support will make all of this a reality.
THE IMPACT WILL BE MONUMENTAL!
What an improved Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite will mean for CHEO: •
Nearly real-time, 3D imaging guiding CHEO’s physicians as they place stents, close inter-cardiac defects (holes in the heart), enlarge cardiac vessels, perform biopsies, insert g-tubes, drain infections, deliver orthopedic care etc.
•
Provide higher quality images with fewer x-rays and the lowest possible radiation.
•
Eliminate the need for surgery in some cases.
•
Provide more accurate imaging to assist in diagnoses.
• Allow
CHEO to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures.
•
Reduce time in hospital and patient discomfort in comparison to older techniques.
Meet CHEO’s CHEO’s ambassador: ambassador : ZANDER Zander Zatylny is a seven year old cardiology patient at CHEO, and it so happens he loves golf! He was born with a serious heart malformation that required two open heart surgeries before he was two years old! To date he has had eight stents placed in his heart to ensure proper blood flow to and from his heart. With CP’s announcement to help upgrade a catheterization lab and interventional suite at CHEO, patients like Zander will benefit.

Historic flooding hit the Ottawa Valley last week and communities came together to help those in the affected areas. The number of sandbags used in Renfrew County is staggering. Volunteers helped fill the bags across the county: in Horton 45,000 bags; in McNab/Braeside 22,000 and in Arnprior the town provided 7,000 sandbags with local businesses providing a significant number as well. As of May 8, Riverview Drive is closed between Lena Street and Leo Lavoie Road due to flooding. A sandbagging station was also set up at the McLean Avenue ball park in Arnprior over the weekend. Mayor David Reid spent a few hours bagging sand at McLean Park on Saturday. He said plenty of residents were helping out in various ways, from volunteer firefighters shovelling to folks Tiffany Lepack/Metroland dropping off sandwiches. James Bott and Kade Laventure help place sandbags on a wall of a flooded Archibald Street, one of the See VOLUNTEERS, page 4

Provincial help available
Municipal Matters
TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
On Friday, May 5 the province notified municipalities in the County of Renfrew and the City of Pembroke that it has activated the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program for a number of local townships including: Township of Admaston/Bromley, Township of Horton, Township of McNab/Braeside, Town of Renfrew and more. “It will allow them to make an application for damages they have incurred on their primary residence,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Arnprior, Greater Madawaska and Petawawa were not included in the initial assistance area, however they were affected over the weekend and are now being considered. “We have identified that there may be severe flooding in other parts of Renfrew County,” said Conrad Spezowka, media relations spokesperson with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. “We are working with affected municipalities to gather information about flood impacts and will consider expanding the boundary of the activation area if appropriate.” Yakabuski spoke to Bill Mauro, Minister of Municipal Affairs on the morning of May 8. “At the time of the consideration they were not included and that has changed,” said Yakabuski. “I have brought these areas to his attention. We will have to revisit that, I will be readdressing that with the minister as it has changed significantly over the last few days.” Yakabuski says he has never seen flooding like this in his lifetime, adding the volunteer response is amazing. According to the release, water levels are nearly a metre above their 12-year average and at their highest levels since record keeping began in 1947. “The impacts are expected to be costly. Affected individuals, small businesses, farmers and not-for-profit organizations who have experienced property damage or loss as a result of this disaster may be eligible to receive help with expenses,” said the release. More information and detailed program guidelines are available at ontario.ca/DisasterAssistance or call toll-free 1-844-780-8925.

Volunteers turn out in droves to help those affected by flood From front page
Reid praised the volunteers during the town’s council meeting on May 8. “It was a great response in a time of need,” Reid said. “Arnprior residents came out and I’d like to thank all the volunteers for their contributions over the last week.” In Arnprior there are 11 properties in the Chats Crescent/McLean Avenue/Lena Street area that have been sandbagged. According to town staff there are reports that at least two of these properties have damage in their basements. Due to the flooding the opening of the Arnprior marina will be delayed this year, as repairs will need to be to be made to some of the docks and guard shacks. The water is also close to the lifeguard chair at the beach and staff also anticipated that beach will require significant amount of sand replacement. A press release from McNab/Braeside on May 7 said the township had been experiencing severe flooding since May 3, when it started its sandbag operations. “The most heavily affected areas include Rhoddy’s Bay, Sand Point and Stewart’s Bay where staff, firefighters and volunteers have been combatting flood-related issues for days,” said the release.

were no longer in need of volunteers to fill sandbags. “Thanks to all of your help and support we’ve been able to accumulate a stockpile of sandbags. At this time, we do not need help with sandbagging,” said the post on the social media site. In Horton they have 55 primary
residences and numerous cottages sandbagged. Steve Osipenko, acting commander with County of Renfrew Paramedic Service and community emergency management co-ordinator for Horton Township, says the water has started to slightly recede. “We have substantial losses but
the volunteers have done great work to save or mitigate damage to many properties.” Osipenko says they are extremely thankful for all the volunteers who came out to assist in any way they could and they are starting to see a positive trend. “We have had some disappointment and some great successes. This community should be proud of their effort. “We hope things have stabilized but we have to maintain vigilance,” said Osipenko. “Volunteers can offer assistance by calling the Horton office and we will put them on a list. Looking forward there will be as big a need for help in recovery. That can’t be overlooked.” In Whitewater Region water has risen over 21 roads, 13 of them being private and the township continues to monitor the area. “Our roads crew have already diligently placed 23 tandem loads of sand in the necessary areas,” said a May 5 press release. Officials ask that only those who are volunteering or in need of sandbags attend the bagging locations and areas that are flooded. People are encouraged to check their township’s websites, the County of Renfrew and www.municipal511.ca for up-to-date information. -With files from Derek Dunn

off. It is unknown whether that is a cheap or expensive fix. The building has passed all inspections, but a floor replacement has been suggested. It is browning at the edges. Otherwise the premises are clean and neat, according to board members. The new septic system outback means less space for dogs to run. The fence should be moved to allow for more space. A long-range hope is to have a new visiting area for clients to meet alone with potential pets. The organization could withdraw money from the Gaumond Fund for these upgrades, but usually only spends that money the most urgent or necessary repairs.

As of May 8, Riverview Drive is closed between Lena Street and Leo Lavoie Road due to flooding in Arnprior. The water at McLean Avenue park is also very high and has been sandbagged close to the road.
The Flood Victims Arnprior and Area Fundraiser is being planned for June 30 at the Nick Smith Centre from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sonia Mullins-Forget is organizing the event and is looking for more businesses/groups to get involved. Arnprior Flooring has donated $1,000 and has issued a challenge for all companies and businesses in the area to meet or exceed their donation. All monies raised will be distributed to the victims of the flood through a program over seen by the Town of Arnprior. For more information call 613-8518190 or email: sonia_j_mullins@hotmail.com
Flood safety information for flood-affected homeowners SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
With the recent flooding, business owners and agencies are reminding homeowners to be vigilant when it comes to their furnaces and appliances. “We want to get the message out there that once the water has receded, homeowners should make sure they close off their propane tanks and turn off the power to their furnace,” said Kevin McCrea of McCrea’s Climate Care. “Anytime a furnace has been underwater it is definitely not safe to use.” He is prepared to help those in need. “If they don’t know how to shut off the propane tanks or they want us to do an inspection, we’ll do that free of charge,” he said. Anytime an electrical component has been underwater, it can fail, he added. “Worst case scenario – it can leak propane
into the building,” said McCrea. To reach McCrea’s Climate Care in Renfrew, call 613-432-9739 or in Arnprior 613623-9223. Hydro One has issued a spring flooding safety alert reminding the public to stay safe by knowing what to do if their home is flooded. “If water rises above your electrical outlets, baseboard heaters or furnace or is near the electrical panel, call 1-800-434-1235 to have your power disconnected. If any water damage to electrical equipment occurs, a licensed electrical contractor needs to conduct an evaluation and make any necessary repairs before Hydro One can restore power,” says the release. In case of an extended power outage, here are some items to include in an emergency preparedness kit: • Water (2L per person per day) • Canned or dried food that won’t spoil
• Food and water for pets • Manual can opener • Windup or battery-powered flashlight and radio • Batteries for flashlight and radio • Power bank for your cell phone • Cash • Any medical items you require • Blanket • Candles and matches • First aid kit • Emergency numbers including Hydro One’s power outage hotline, 1-800-434-1235 For essential communications, ensure you have at least one corded phone at home as a cordless phone will not work in a power outage. Hydro One customers can also register to receive proactive personalized text or email alerts about power outages affecting their local area. Customers can register for these alerts online at hydroone.com/myaccount or download the free outage app.

Gender-identity speaker tells Arnprior students he is not gay Sam Killerman speaks at Arnprior high school DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.ocm
To this day, people keep telling Sam Killermann he is gay. He is effeminate, clean cut and well spoken, but not gay. But that doesn’t stop people assuming otherwise. At university a few years back, he had heard it a couple of dozen times in the first semester alone. “People assume I am. I’m not, and that freaks people out,” Killermann told the large assembly at Arnprior District High School on April 28. “It’s odd that I always have to say that.” Even his girlfriend — or who he thought was his girlfriend for six weeks — believed he was her BFF. When he mentioned the whole kissing part to her, she assumed gay guys make out with girls all the time. A wave of discomfort passed over the assembly, tinged with curiosity. The young comedian and activist from Texas, who has talked to thousands of students in both countries, and has a popular TED talk on the subject of gender and sexuality, won the kids over with shocking one-liners. “I was losing an argument about whether I was gay or not: with my girlfriend.” Others included:
If you don’t know how they want to be treated, ask them,” he said. “How can I be a good me to you? SAM KILLERMANN
• “To everyone else I’m a snowflake.” • “Because you … ‘talk good.’ That was the bar at Purdue.” • “Why was I wearing a girl’s sweater.” • “We were crying while hugging while holding hammers. That’s never happened in the history of hammers.” • “They said, ‘How do you know what sign to put on the door?’ Put a toilet on the door. It’s a restroom for all genders. It’s a place you go to poo.” • “The starfish are people!” The last bullet calls for explanation. It describes Killermann’s hope with each talk he gives. He tells the tale of an old man on a beach full of starfish. A little girl at the other end is tossing them back in the ocean one at a time. He confronts her, saying she is just one person and there are so many starfish. The girl’s reply, after tossing another in the water, is that she made a difference for that one starfish. He also challenged the notion of the Golden Rule, which says ‘Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.’ He said that gets in the way of treating others with respect and equi-
ty. It leads to phrases such as: ‘What’s the big deal, I wouldn’t have been offended’ and ‘Well, that’s their problem, not mine.’ He advocates the Platinum Rule: Treat others the way they want to be treated. “If you don’t know how they want to be treated, ask them,” he said. “How can I be a good me to you?” Killermann is renowned for his solution to a huge debate in America. As transgender rights were being recognized in various states, the issue arose over how public washrooms were to be used. Male and female signs were no longer enough. For many, Killermann explained, the signs were symbolic of foundational beliefs. If not a male for the men’s room and female for the women’s, society would fall into chaos. The half male half female image didn’t work; it looked like a man in a cape. That’s when he came up with the image of a toilet. Because that is what the room is used for, using the washroom. The signs appear in public spaces and businesses across the country, including his home airport. Killermann also shared a story of wrongfully writing off a family friend. ‘Woody’ was a man’s man in every sense. Plaid shirt and work boots, a carpenter, a big man. “Even his name is manly,” he said. “So when he asked what I did, I said gender stuff. Woody’s not going to care.” After a night of researching gender on the Internet, Woody came armed with questions to last the entire day. They talked about how gender is assigned to you by external forces (parents, society, etc.) and that sexuality is more closely linked to biology. Which is what sparked Killermann’s interest in the topic. He is a heterosexual male who doesn’t fit the stereotype. Woody was also interested to learn the origins of some of his own characteristics. Hence the hammers, hugging, and crying. It wasn’t all laughs for Killermann, who told the story of wearing his sister’s sweater of a sports team. He was in Grade 2. It ended with him curled in a ball, crying, while his ‘friends’ kicked him. The lesson he learned was to take an interest in football and other manly activities, even though he could care less. Then, laughing, he said to take a look at the outfit he has on today, a cardigan-like jacket with loafers: “This outfit says don’t ask me the score.” Following his curiosity as to why he appears so different from others, and talking to non-judgmental gender identity experts, has led him to a much better place. “I was hiding parts of myself,” he said. “And now, I’ve never felt more healthy in my life.”
Sam Killermann is a renowned speaker on gender identity issues. After dozens of people mistook him for gay, he struggled to understand who he was and what society expected of him. He lends advice to young people based on his discoveries. Derek Dunn/Metroland

OPINION
Connected to your community
Power of water, community Most Ottawa Valley residents have never seen anything like it. The spring thaw combined with excessive rain has led to rising waters and floods along the Ottawa River and other waterways in Renfrew County and areas of Eastern Ontario and Quebec. The situation has underscored the incredible power of water as roads washed out and homes and cottages sustained major damage. The Province of Ontario has activated the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program for a number of municipalities in Renfrew County and in the weeks and months to come there’ll be plenty of work assessing the damage and cleaning up the mess. What this situation has also underscored, however, is the incredible power of community. Whether it’s volunteers showing up in droves to sandbag in Horton, in McNab/ Braeside or in Greater Madawaska, thoughtful souls turning up with hot drinks and food for beleaguered helpers and property owners, or businesses and individuals offering their products and services to help those in need – one thing is clear – we live in an incredibly generous community.
For many, it’s these people, these helpers, who have made all the difference. Whether it was their work to save homes and property, their gifts of sustenance or simply their presence, confirming that in this time of need, no one stands alone – these people are the shining light in this dark story. The flooding comes at a time when the country is marking Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week (May 7-13), a collaborative initiative undertaken by emergency management organizations and Public Safety Canada. EP Week this year encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face emergencies: know the risks, make a plan and get an emergency kit. If they weren’t before, locals are now fully aware of the importance of being prepared. EP Week is a good reminder for everyone to stay vigilant and prepared for when natural disasters strike. People are encouraged to check their township’s websites, the County of Renfrew and www.municipal511.ca for up-to-date information. More information on emergency preparedness is available at www.getprepared.gc.ca .
One year in Arnprior for Syrian refugee family To the editor:
In February, Project Arnprior Welcome (PAW) marked the oneyear anniversary of the arrival in Canada of the first sponsored refugee family (dad, mom, two daughters and a son) from Syria. A celebration party was held with the family, who expressed their gratitude for the warmth and reception of this community. They had arrived at the airport in Ottawa in the midst of a cold Canadian winter but were met by a warm welcoming committee from the PAW group. They stayed at a committee member’s home for a few days to begin the adjustment to life in Arnprior but were soon able to move into their own home. It was furnished largely through the kind donations of this generous community. After a settling in period, the two
oldest girls were welcomed to their new school. While they were busy learning English with their one-on-one volunteers and experiencing what Canadian children take for granted in schools, their parents were being taught English as second language by a group of very committed very experienced volunteers. The space for these lessons was generously donated by Grace St. Andrew’s church. Dad was able to attend ESL classes in Kanata because another group of volunteers was organized to drive him into the daily class. While the parents were at school, other volunteers were helping out with babysitting the little boy. Their fourth child, a healthy boy, was born in December. One of the biggest challenges for the family remains the language barrier. Fortunately, there are a num-
ber of Arabic speaking folks living in Arnprior who kindly helped us to support the family as they found their way in Canada. One of the mandates of PAW was to ensure the family became as selfsufficient as possible as soon as possible. To that end the emphasis was on learning English but as well for the father to be employable within the year, if possible. A lot of effort was put into this to ensure that he would be prepared. Working through many contacts and sheer hard work of some, has resulted in finding him a part-time position, which we hope will turn into full-time soon. Efforts are now underway to provide him with driving lessons with hope of giving the family further independence. They are moving to a new larger home in Arnprior at the end of April. They are so excited.

Through the generosity of the community, enough money was raised to resettle two families. The PAW Committee with the involvement of new volunteers from St. Georges Church of Fitzroy Harbour (who contributed to the funding) continues to work on getting the second family but government delays keep us waiting! Further announcements will be made as details become available. If further donations are required, it will be announced at a later date. A big thank you to all the volunteers, furniture movers, babysitters, ESL teachers, drivers, schools, churches and of course, you - the kind folks of Arnprior and area.

It’s Emergency Preparedness Week Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is a national awareness initiative that takes place each year during the first full week of May and has taken place annually since 1996. It is a collaborative event undertaken by provincial and territorial emergency management organizations supporting activities at the local level, in conjunction with Public Safety Canada and partners. EP Week, which runs from May 7–13, this year encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies: know the risks, make a plan and get an emergency kit. This national event is an opportunity for the Town of Arnprior to remind residents to plan
for emergencies. Disasters can strike anywhere at any time, and residents should be prepared to care for themselves, their families and their pets for at least 72 hours in a disaster, and up to two weeks in a health emergency like a pandemic. The campaign is expanding its reach this year to launch the #PrepareYourSelfie Challenge. In conjunction with EP Week, the challenge is intended to engage Ontarians in conversations about being prepared for emergencies. All Ontarians are challenged to participate by creating their plan, building their kit, and then challenging three family members, friends and/ or colleagues on social media to do the same thing.
They can issue and post their challenge via social media, along with a simple caption, such as: “Emergencies can strike anywhere, at any time. That’s why I’m prepared. I’ve made a plan and built an emergency preparedness kit. Now, I’m challenging (insert name of those being challenged) to do the same. Emergency preparedness starts with you. PrepareYourSelfie.” Information on emergency preparedness can be found on the web at www.getprepared.gc.ca, on our local website at www.arnprior.ca or by contacting the Arnprior Fire Department at 613-623-4231 ext. 2. When you review these public education materials you will see that it is easy to build your own emergency kit however, the Canadian Red Cross has a kit available to buy on their website (http://www.redcross.ca/how-we-help/emergencies-and-disasters-in-canada/for-home-andfamily/get-a-kit ).
A kit from this website will be on display at the Arnprior Public Library during Emergency Preparedness Week. Being prepared means having the knowledge, plans and tools to cope in an emergency. Throughout EP Week the Arnprior Fire Department works to provide residents with emergency preparedness resources in an effort to encourage citizens to learn about the risks in our community, develop a work and home evacuation plan, as well as make or buy an emergency preparedness kit. “As Emergency Preparedness Week arrives I would encourage all town residents to take concrete actions to be better prepared. “Experience has shown that individual preparedness goes a long way to help people cope better, both during and after a major disaster,” said Arnprior fire prevention officer Cory Nicholas.

On Tuesday, April 25 a vehicle was stopped on Highway 17 for a driving offence. After speaking with the driver and two passengers the officer arrested a 33-year-old Chateauguay Que. male. He was charged with human trafficking, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and carrying a concealed weapon. He was held in custody for a bail hearing. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 233 calls for service during the past week. Fraud An investigation has started into fraudulent cheques being cashed in Arnprior. One victim contacted police to report several cheques fraudulently written and cashed in Arnprior. There is a suspect. Beware of a new delivery type of scam. The suspect will contact the victim to arrange a delivery. When they arrive they deliver a gift basket and advise there is a fee to be paid, which must be by credit or debit card. Their debit machine is capable of capturing your credit card info and PIN. Do not accept any gift if you cannot verify who the sender was or if you must make a payment to accept the gift. Above all, the only time you should give out any personal credit/ debit card information is when you yourself initiated the purchase or transaction. Domestic violence Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated six domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with three counts of sexual
assault, two counts of mischief under $5,000, and one count each of forcible confinement, criminal harassment, uttering threats, domestic mischief and assault; one male was charged with forcible confinement, uttering threats and three counts of domestic mischief. No other criminal offences took place. Impaired driving On Saturday April 29 at approximately 5:15 p.m. Const. Denys Baranovskiy received information about a vehicle being driven in Arnprior by an unlicenced driver. The officer located the suspect vehicle and observed the male driver had been drinking. After failing a roadside alcohol screening test he was arrested for driving over 80mgs. Following further breath tests at the detachment a 26-year-old Arnprior man was charged with drive while disqualified. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on June 14. He was also charged with two Highway Traffic Act (HTA) charges - Drive while under Suspension, and Novice Driver BAC above Zero. On Saturday April 29 at 8:30 p.m. information was received about a possible impaired driver in Arnprior. A description of the suspected male driver and vehicle was provided to police and the vehicle was located and stopped. The male driver was arrested for impaired driving and transported to the detachment for breath tests. As a result the 65-year-old male driver from Arnprior was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80mgs, two counts of breach of probation, and two counts of breach of a recognizance. He was held in custody for a bail hearing. Const. Joel Cobb led the investigation.
On Sunday, May 14th from 11am - 3pm Refreshments and snacks will be served. For more information, please call 613-829-3600 www.pinecrest-remembrance.com

Health care close to home good for patients and family members “Nine doors down.” That’s how Eric Pottle describes the distance from his AGH hospital bed to the home he has shared with Sharron, his wife of 39 years. The close proximity to home consoles Eric, although he won’t head home in the foreseeable future.
A chance mishap on a Saturday afternoon last summer changed Eric’s and Sharron’s lives forever. They were sitting in their backyard with a few friends on August 27, when Eric stood up from his chair. He tripped and fell on his back, which was already damaged by a chronic spinal condition. Eric was rushed to the AGH’s Emergency Department where the doctor on duty immediately called the X-ray Department, which provides 24-hour service for emergency cases. A medical radiation technician rushed the AGH’s new digital portable X-ray machine to the ER and took an X-ray on the spot. After reading the X-ray, the doctor diagnosed a broken neck. Eric was stabilized and then transported to Ottawa where specialists performed surgery.
Two months later, Eric returned to AGH, first to the Medical-Surgical Unit and, on November 4, to the Rosamond Complex Continuing Care Unit. Eric is paralyzed now, with only limited mobility in his left hand. He receives his food and medication through a feeding tube inserted in his stomach. AGH nursing staff provide Eric’s personal care, while an automatic lift assists in moving him between his hospital bed and wheelchair. In a few weeks, Eric will be fitted with
an electric wheelchair. He’s looking forward to that, “though I don’t know how long it will take to learn to drive it.”
Eric has adjusted remarkably well to his new life with the help of Sharron,
We are so lucky that Eric is here in AGH… It’s like a second home for him. who visits him every day. And Sharron offers generous praise to their family physician, Dr. Christiane Deschenes, who is also AGH’s Chief of Staff, and others on the AGH health care team. “We are so grateful to Dr. Deschenes. She has been our doctor for over 35 years. We don’t know what we would have done without her. Dr. Heather Abramenko was on duty when Eric was rushed to the ER. The nurses, the physios and all the staff are so caring and good to us,” Sharron adds. The Pottles also appreciate the critical importance of AGH’s diagnostic imaging (DI) equipment in providing Eric’s care and comfort—first the X-ray machine used to diagnose Eric’s broken neck in AGH’s ER, and more recently an abdominal X-ray to check placement

of his feeding tube. Each time, DI staff wheeled the X-ray equipment to Eric’s bedside. “The portable equipment makes such a difference to our patients with mobility issues,” says Dr. Deschenes. “They avoid the ordeal of being moved and brought downstairs to the DI Department. The new digital X-ray equipment provides even greater benefits,” says Dr. Deschenes. “The image quality in digital machines provides better diagnostic accuracy, and the digital machines have much lower radiation.” Those benefits, and pretty well all the care Eric has received at AGH, are not
lost on the Pottles. They are also thrilled that Eric is close to home. “We are so lucky that Eric is here in AGH,” Sharron says. “It’s like a second home for him. It is so much easier for me to visit and it’s so nice for Eric’s peace of mind.”
Being close to home means a lot to the Pottles, especially after Sharron’s experience in the first two months after Eric’s injury. Two days after Eric’s accident, Sharron had knee replacement surgery. The surgery had been previously scheduled, and despite her worries

AGH launches $4-million Put Yourself in the Picture campaign to ensure patients have access to the best in diagnostic imaging “Put Yourself in the Picture” is what representatives of the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor Foundation are asking community members to do in an effort to raise $ 4 million for new diagnostic imaging equipment at the Hospital.
“AGH counts 100 percent on funding from the Foundation to ensure our staff has reliable, up-to-date equipment with which to treat our patients,” said Mary Wilson Trider, President & CEO. “We have recently purchased two new digital ultrasound machines, a new portable, digital X-ray machine and a new digital X-ray suite, all of which cost the Hospital
$1.8 million. We are now counting on the Foundation to pay off loans for these vital tools as quickly as possible to minimize our borrowing costs.”
The Hospital moved to purchase the new equipment because both the old ultrasound machine and the old X-ray equipment were more than 10 years old. Finding replacement parts was becoming increasingly difficult and wait times for ultrasound were becoming too long. Plus, the new equipment is better for the patients. “The image quality in digital machines provides better diagnostic accuracy,” said Dr. Chris Deschenes, Chief of Staff at AGH.
AGH also intends to purchase a CT scanner, subject to the approval of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (CLHIN) and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Part of the approval process depends on confirming a funding source. The AGH-FVM Foundation has committed to raising $2.2 million to pay for this new and urgently needed diagnostic tool. AGH currently does not have CT scanning so patients requiring a CT scan are sent to another hospital.
Long-time Almonte residents Paul and Rhonda Virgin were announced as Put Yourself in the Picture campaign cochairs. They were then presented with three cheques: • The staff, volunteers, board members and physicians at AGH and the Fairview Manor have raised $100,000 to date through a “Family” or internal campaign.
• Long-time Hospital and Manor supporters Art and Helen Levi presented the Virgins with a cheque for $250,000 as lead donors to the campaign.

• Representatives of the Foundation including Art Solomonian, current board chair, and Al Lunney, past board chair, gave $600,000 from the Foundation’s reserve, bringing the campaign to $1 million so far.
Long-time Hospital and Manor supporters Art and Helen Levi “Quality health care is part of what makes a community a place to put down roots and raise a family,” said Co-Chair Rhonda Virgin. “We can never take our quality of life for granted and must continuously work together to maintain and enhance it.”
“That’s why we are asking individuals, businesses, groups, schools and community organizations to join us and to ‘put themselves in the picture’,” said Co-Chair Paul Virgin.

Get in the swing for AGH golf tourney on June 16 Golf enthusiasts, take note! Registration is now open for the 2017 Almonte General Hospital Golf Classic, which will be held on Friday, June 16.
AGH staff Nicole Proulx and Diane Villeneuve with Eric about Eric, doctors advised her to go ahead with the surgery. When she was released from hospital a week later, she was confined to a wheelchair. Friends drove Sharron to Ottawa every day to visit Eric during her recovery period, until she was able to drive again. “Those two months were dreadful,” Sharron recalls. “It’s been so much better since Eric was moved back here.”
Now Sharron visits Eric daily, as do other family members. Three of Eric’s “coffee buddies” also drop in twice a week for an afternoon chat. Then there are regular workout sessions in the AGH’s
Physiotherapy Department where physio staff play a CD of country music that Eric recorded back in 2014. The CD’s title, That Foghorn Sound, recalls Eric’s childhood in Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Eric, who retired in 2000 at the age of 60, used to sing and play guitar and violin with local musicians before the accident. He even fondly recalls performing for patients and residents at AGH and the Fairview Manor over the years. Now he is on the receiving end of those recreational visits from community-minded entertainers. Just one more benefit of being here at AGH, close to home.

Guido Patrice, owner of Your Independent Grocer in Almonte, returns this year as chair of the 15th annual golf tourney after a few years’ hiatus. “I am very excited and proud to be chair of this year’s AGH golf tournament,” said Patrice. “There is something special about not only the AGH, but this golf tournament, and especially the people who support it, volunteer and play in it. We are so fortunate to have a hospital in our community that offers the highest care for the people it serves,” Patrice added. The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m. and includes a barbecue lunch, an 18-hole round of golf, a shared golf cart and steak dinner, as well as a silent auction, a live auction, a 50-50 draw, and several other contests and prizes. The tourney is the centrepiece of the AGH-FVM Foundation’s annual
fundraising campaign, said Joyce Delahunt, chair of the Fundraising Committee for the AGH-FVM’s Foundation. “Last year, the campaign raised $60,000. We’re expecting to outdo that total this year,” Delahunt said, adding that the funds will go to the purchase of new diagnostic imaging equipment for AGH. “The event has always attracted a large crowd of golf enthusiasts,” said Delahunt. “We greatly appreciate everyone who contributes to this worthwhile event, from the players to the sponsors, and everyone who works on planning, organizing and the game itself.” The main sponsors this year are Karson Konstruction, Bank of Montreal, Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. in Carleton Place and Levi Home Hardware Building Centre in Almonte.

Put Yourself in the Picture 365 days a year: Join our Circle of Friends monthly giving society Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor have a very special society of supporters, and we’d like you to join them. Circle of Friends donors make a monthly donation because they know that the Hospital is there for them 24/7, 365 days a year, and they want to be there for the Hospital every day of the year, too. Last year, for instance, our Birthing Centre had close to 500 deliveries. That averages out to more than one baby born each day.
Our Emergency Department had more than 15,000 visits in 2016. That averages out to 41 patients seeking treatment in the ER each day of the year.
Almost every medical journey begins with an accurate diagnosis, which means our Diagnostic Imaging Department sees patients every day, too. Last year, 4,551 ultrasound examinations were conducted; that’s about 12 per day. Our X-ray staff was even busier with about 18 per day, totalling 6,701 for all of 2016.
The Put Yourself in the Picture campaign is the perfect time for you to join our special Circle of Friends monthly giving society. Your support will mean better quality images, faster more accurate diagnostic tests, shorter wait times and better health care closer to home. Your donation will automatically be withdrawn each month or put on your credit card (good if you
collect reward points!). At the end of the year, you will receive one income tax receipt, which cuts down on our overhead expenses as well. You can cancel your monthly gift any time by contacting our office. If you join now you will receive special recognition to help show others that “You’re in the Picture” for health care close to home.
This offer is only available to Circle of Friends society members to thank them for their ongoing, monthly support, and so they can show people how much they care about the care provided at the Almonte General Hospital.

NOTICE – WATER MAIN FLUSHING ALMONTE WARD May 23 – June 23, 2017 The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, May 23rd, 2017 to Friday, June 23rd, 2017, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends). This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system.This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. • Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometre’s away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. • Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. • We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water. We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed and if you would like more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron, ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.

Some day we hope to meet her Some day we know not when To clasp her hand in the better land Never to part again.

LUCIA DOREEN “Girlie” Lucia Doreen Lloyd died on May 1, 2017 in her 96th year at Groves Park Lodge Long Term Care Centre in Renfrew, Ontario. Predeceased by her husband Garth in 2007 and son Graham in 2008. She lives on through her son Geoffrey (Marian) of North Bay, daughter Marilyn (Bruce Lange) of Douglas and daughter-in-law Suzanne Lloyd of Richards Landing; grandchildren Mandy Whelan (Jared) of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Colin Lloyd (Kristine Donovan) of Tampa, Florida, David Lloyd of Picton, Stefan Lange (Rebecca Millar) of London and Sabine Lange (Matthew Morin) of Elgin, Texas; and great grandchildren Devan and Connor Whelan, Veronica Lloyd, Matthew and Andrew Lloyd and Jacob and Autumn Lange. Born in England, she arrived in Canada with her family on May 31, 1948 at Pier 21, Halifax, Nova Scotia. She lived in Deep River, Ontario for almost 60 years, enjoying curling and later rug hooking and spent 30 years wintering in Florida. She was very computer-literate and enjoyed making greeting cards and listening to music with her iPod. Garth was always in her thoughts although his heavenly duties did not include making the tea as he had every day during their 66 years of marriage. In her final years she longed to return to “England’s green and pleasant land”, so Bon Voyage Mum - you are free to join Dad and settle wherever your spirit wishes. Professional arrangements were entrusted to Anderson Funeral Home in Renfrew. Her memory will be honoured as we gather for family picnics this summer. The family thanks the staff at Quail Creek Retirement Residence and Groves Park Lodge for their kind care.

LECLAIRE, Nathan November 21, 1981 to May 13, 2009 In loving memory of our Dear Son, Brother and Uncle. It is eight years now Nathan and I need you to know that as the years go by, you will never be forgotten. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers and always will be. I heard your voice last month. You left a message on our Voice Mail before you left us. I asked your Dad to save that Voice Mail, in hopes that I would some day have the courage to listen to it. I finally did after all those years. Oh Nath! - to hear your voice! For a brief moment in time it felt like you were still here, just on the other end of the phone like it used to be. Words could not express my emotions! On a lighter note, Ryan and Devin are doing great and of course, Charlie, the Love of my Life is also doing fine, other than growing up way too fast. He will be nine this summer. Katie and Heidi are no longer with us! Miss them so much, however we did get another Boston Terrier puppy named Sally. She is so adorable!. Your Dad is fine and back to work, a much needed break after that long winter of bonding! Lol! I haven’t been to cottage yet, just waiting on our partners in crime to come from North Bay. We stayed at the cottage for the hunt last year. Your presence was everywhere Nath! Your Dad, Ryan and Devin all got the Bucks you chased out to them! Hope you and Gramps are having a wonderful after life! We love you Nathan, even in death we love you so much! Wrap your arms around them Lord and let them know they are loved until we get to your land above. Mom, Dad, Ryan, Devin & Charlie

Heartworm is a blood parasite that poses a serious health threat to dogs in Canada. Heartworms are large roundworms that live in the right side of the heart and the blood vessels that supply the lungs, surviving on nutrients which they steal from the dog’s bloodstream. They can grow to a length of 15-30 centimetres, and in severe cases a dog may be infested with hundreds of worms. Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it will ingest the immature worms (microfilariae) produced by the adults in the heart along with the blood from the dog. The immature worms develop in the mosquito over the next few weeks until they reach an infective stage. When the mosquito bites an uninfected dog, it will inject the immature worms into the tissues with its saliva. From here, the immature worms develop further and migrate to the heart where they will mature into adults and begin reproducing. This cycle continues unchecked unless treatment is given. From this it is easy to see how one infected dog can infect a whole neighbourhood. What are the signs of heartworm disease? For both dogs and cats, signs of heartworm disease may not be recognized in the early stages, as the number of heartworms in an animal tends to accumulate gradually over a period of months and after repeated mosquito bites. Infected dogs may exhibit no signs of the dis-

ease, while heavily infected dogs may eventually show signs including a mild, persistent cough, reluctance to move, fatigue after only moderate exercise, reduced appetite and weight loss. Cats may exhibit clinical signs that are very non-specific, mimicking many other feline diseases. Chronic clinical signs include vomiting, gagging, difficulty or rapid breathing, lethargy and weight loss. Signs associated with the first stage of heartworm disease, when the heartworms enter a blood vessel and are carried to the pulmonary arteries, are often mistaken for feline asthma or allergic bronchitis, when in fact they are actually due to a syndrome newly defined as Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease (HARD). Heartworm may be easily prevented. Start by having your vet examine a sample of your dog’s blood for the presence of the immature worms annually. If your dog is not infected, then a preventive program should be started. It involves giving a pill once a month during mosquito season. This medication destroys the immature heartworms and stops the cycle of the disease. Preventive programs should not be started before your dog has been tested for the presence of heartworm disease by your veterinarian. The test and the preventive program should be done each spring with the medication continuing throughout the summer until November. For those vacationing in the United States with your dog, consult your veterinarian regarding the best way to provide continual protection against this preventable disease.

Country star Jason Blaine to host charity golf tournament/concert Canadian Recording Artist Jason Blaine is ready to rock his hometown again this year with another star studded line-up of Canada’s top country music performers joining him on the stage at his Charity Concert in Pembroke. Blaine has announced Aaron Pritchett, Madeline Merlo, and the River Town Saints, as well as the returning house band, the Western Swing Authority will be his special celebrity guests for his concert fundraiser on June 13. The artists will also participate in day two of the charity
event, a golf tournament held at the Pembroke Golf Club on June 14. “Our event continues to attract some of the best musicians in Canadian country music and I can’t thank these artists enough for being willing to give their time to support our charity,” says Blaine. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to attract the great community sponsors who have helped us raise more than $200,000 over the past three years,” adds Blaine. Pritchett is known for bringing ‘rock energy’ to his concerts and has had several hits, including: “Big
Wheel,” “Hold My Beer,” “Dirt Road In ‘em,” and his latest Top 10 hit song, “When a Momma’s Boy Meets a Daddy’s Girl”. His most recent album, The Score was nominated for a Juno Award in 2017. Madeline Merlo is one of the fastest rising female artists in Canadian country music with recent hits such as “War Paint” and “Over and Over,” which was written by Blaine. In 2015, Merlo received the Rising Star award from the Canadian Country Music Association and a year later she was nominated for Female Artist of the Year. The Ottawa Valleys’ own, River Town Saints first appeared at Jason’s charity concert last year following the release of their hit song “Cherry Bomb.” Their most recent single, “Bonfire” was released in January and is their first Top 10 radio single, helping the band
raise their profile on the national stage. Jason Blaine established his own charity in an effort to give back to his hometown by raising money for worthy causes. This year, the funds raised will help set up a new endowment fund in Jason’s name to support students in financial need at Algonquin College’s Waterfront Campus in Pembroke. The Pembroke and Area Boys’ and Girls’ Club will also continue to be a benefactor allowing it to expand its programming to local children. Additional funds will be made available to special initiatives and projects within the Pembroke region that require ‘just in time’ financial support. “Even though my family and I have lived in Nashville for the past ten years, a big part of my heart remains in the Ottawa Valley,” says Blaine.

Continued success for karate students
On March 28, six students from the Villeneuve Karate School in Arnprior attended a tournament in Gatineau hosted by Hanshi Gilles Lavigne (Shotokan karate) and his association. From left are assistant instructor Anne-Marie Raymond, Marissa Kidd (first place, kata), Wil Smith, Daniel Marshall (first place, kata), Logan Cave and Kenzie Catterill. “Congratulations to all students who won and special congratulations to our Grand champion winners, Marissa and Daniel,” said a press release. “The students are all pleased to announce that our sensei, Sensei Villeneuve has been inducted to the Karate Hall of Fame, the official ceremony and banquet will be held May 20, at the Crown Plaza in Gatineau.

Bluefish set to show their true Viking grit at annual swim-a-thon JEREMIAH GILLETT
Many years ago a 22-year-old fisherman from Iceland named Goulaugur Frioporsson was lost at sea with his crew of five, due to their boat capsizing. The air temperature was -2 degrees C and the water a mere 6 degrees C and Guolugur found himself alone in rough icy water, far from
home. The water could have killed him almost immediately as it did the others, but it is said that he was of ‘true Viking grit,’ as he remained calm and began swimming west towards the lights of his small village. He swam for six hours in rough icy seas and covered a total distance of five kilometres to
reach shore. While the Nick Smith pool won’t be as frigid, on May 15, 16 and 17, the 60 swimmers from the Arnprior Bluefish Swim Club (ABSC) will be putting their grit to the test when they each attempt to swim five kilometres in two hours at the annual swim-a-thon. If you know a swimmer, see a member of the
club around your neighbourhood, or if you like, please, go online to support this great team and the opportunities for these and future swimmers at http://ontarioswimathon.ca/absc . For more info about the ABSC, including forms, a gallery of images, and list of contacts, visit their website at www.arnpriorbluefish.net. please take a moment to support their efforts.

How to properly plant cedar hedges When is the best time to Whether you live in the city or the suburbs, cedar hedges are a strategic — and popular — way to delineate your property and benefit from some privacy. Thinking of getting your hands dirty? Follow these basic steps to learn how to properly plant your cedar hedge.
Don’t skimp on quality! Robust in nature, your cedars will grow strong for years to come, ultimately enhancing the value and curb appeal of your property. 3. PLANT YOUR CEDARS
After selecting the finest looking cedars you could find, line them up in the trench, keeping a distance of 60 centimetres between each. Make sure the top of the roots falls even with the ground, and water each plant profusely before filling the trench back up with soil. And there you have it! For additional information on how to maintain, nourish or trim your new hedge, visit your local nursery or garden centre to speak with a specialist.
1. PREPARE THE GROUND
Dig a trench approximately 60 centimetres wide and 40 centimetres deep. Next, add a generous layer of gardening soil (around 20 centimetres thick). 2. BUY YOUR CEDARS
Visit your local nursery to find young cedars with an abundance of healthy roots.

water your plants?
Do you usually water your plants in the middle of the day when the sun is at its zenith? If so, you should rethink that habit! Midday is actually the worst time to accomplish this task. Ecologically speaking, you risk wasting more water due to the strong sunlight prompting rapid evaporation. The solution? Take out the hose either in the early hours of the morning or when the sun starts to set. At daybreak the sun is still cool, which means water won’t evaporate as swiftly. Furthermore, it’s actually healthy

for a plant’s foliage to dry out gradually throughout the day. A drier foliage protects your flowers and shrubs from disease related to high levels of humidity. Consequently, when watering at dusk, aim for the ground rather than the foliage. If not, humidity will cling to your plants throughout the long hours of the night, which can cause spores or other harmful bacteria to grow. For more practical advice regarding the proper maintenance of your flowers, trees and shrubs, make your way down to your local nursery or garden centre today!

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION
Give your walls new life with a fresh coat of paint Do you often feel an overwhelming urge to crack out your paintbrush and give your walls a fresh new look inspired by the season’s hottest colours? If you like to stay on top of the latest design trends, here’s what’s in vogue for summer 2017. • Woodland themes. Colours that bring to mind a peaceful stroll through the woods are must-haves in trendy, Zen-inspired homes this year. For inspiration, think of natural elements like leaves, pine needles, ferns, moss, mushrooms, bark and stone. Adding simple, earthy tones to your home is the perfect way to infuse some peace and serenity into your life • Nocturnal skies. This year, colour schemes featuring gradients of blue, grey and purple are transporting trendsetters to a place where the stars — and unexplored galaxies — enchant us day and night. For a truly original, dreamlike design, consult a specialist about the use of watercolours to recreate the richness and depth of a dark night sky. • Expert picks. Pantone and Color Marketing Group — two recognized authorities on international colour trends — have both chosen luscious green tones as this year’s top colours. Coincidence or fate? Greenery (selected by Pantone) is a refreshing and revitalizing shade, whereas Thrive
(chosen by Color Marketing Group) is more of a warm olive green. • Sequined elegance. This year, be bold and opt for a chic design using special paint that includes a sequined finishing gel. This ultra glamorous style can be achieved by combining any number of dark colours (midnight blue, burgundy, charcoal grey, etc.) with small, iridescent flakes. In the right light, the end result is simply stunning!

Each year, Pantone — the global authority on colour trends — releases a series of palettes featuring the shades most likely to dominate interior design trends in the upcoming year. Here’s a glimpse of nine colour schemes you can expect to see a lot of in 2017 home decor, as predicted by the prestigious firm. 1. Acquired Taste. This bold scheme deliberately combines colours that wouldn’t normally be featured together. It showcases, among others, burnt orange, light grey and purple. 2. At Ease. The combination of greyed-down pastels in this muted palette is perfect to create a relaxed feel in any room. 3. Day Dreaming. This collection, best described as weightless and airy, is a continuation of the 2016 Color of the Year pastel theme. 4. Florabundant. As its name implies, this 100 per cent floral selection of shades is reminiscent of the leaves and petals of the most beautiful
blooms. 5. Forest Bathing. Leave your stresses behind and take a stroll through the forest with these green hues set off by browns and greys with a hint of grape and lime. 6. Graphic Imprints. Set on a black and white backdrop, bright colours like electric blue, fuchsia and lemon yellow are combined to form a lively rainbow. 7. Native Instincts. Earthy tones and vibrant colours, including pale blue and deep violet, steal the show in this palette designed to honour the native peoples of all five continents of the globe. 8. Raw Materials. The three Rs — reduce, reuse, recycle — are the inspiration behind this scheme, which features natural shades reminiscent of wood and stone. 9. Reminiscence. Take a trip down memory lane with the evocative blues, greens and sepias featured in this refreshing, nostalgic palette.

YOUR INDEPENDENT CUB CADET DEALER—EXPERT SERVICE. LOCALLY OWNED. The advice, service, selection and support you need to find the right fit for you.
If one of your walls sports an unsightly hole — perhaps left over from a small nail or hook — you’ll be happy to know that it takes only a few minutes to repair. With the right product and a few common tools, you can make your wall look impeccable by following these four easy steps. 1. With some sandpaper, gently sand the surface around the hole on a diameter of a few centimetres to even the surface and help the filler adhere. Then, use a vacuum cleaner to remove residue from the cavity. Finally, remove any leftover dust on the surface with a microfibre cloth. 2. Using a spatula, gently fill the hole with either gap filler or joint compound.
Try to make the filler penetrate as deep as possible. Smooth the surface, leaving a bit of the product left over. Let dry for about 24 hours or according to package instructions. 3. Sand the wall by hand or with an electric sander until the hole is no longer visible, then wipe down with a moist cloth. If you can still see a slight indentation, which can happen if the hole is on the larger side, refill it and repeat the process. 4. Before repainting the wall (ideally the entire wall), apply a primer on the area that has just been fixed to fill the porous compound, reduce the absorption of the paint and make the colour adhere better. You’re done!

If you wish to breathe a spark of life into your home’s cold and impersonal interior without breaking the bank, here are three inexpensive ways to do so in no time! 1. PAINT Painting a vivid colour onto a single wall can transform a room in a heartbeat. Be daring and add a splash of bright orange, electric blue, lemon yellow, scarlet red or lime green to your lacklustre kitchen or living room. 2. Fabric A dark bedspread inevitably stifles the atmosphere of a bedroom. Why not replace yours with one that’s flamboyantly coloured or cheerfully patterned? Likewise, dress up your drab couch with a colourful throw and some printed pillows. If your faded flooring is bringing you
down, cover it with a vibrant rug. 3. Accents Fun, calming or downright unusual, accent pieces add character to any interior. To give your dull space a welcoming feel without going broke, you can use: • Paintings, mirrors, posters or pictures • Natural or artificial flowers and potted plants • Lamps, candles or bold light fixtures • Hanging mobiles, dream catchers or beaded curtains • Elegant drapes, stained glass windows or colourful blinds • Sculptures, masks, feathers or figurines • Musical instruments, sports equipment or art supplies

Nutrient-packed fertilizers for a healthy garden If your dream is to grow your own cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, beets, onions or any other of your favourite vegetables, the first thing you’ll need to do is make sure you have good fertile soil to work with. How? By aerating the earth and adding a good dose of fertilizer! What are fertilizers? Fertilizers — either mineral or organic in substance — provide vegetables with the nutrients they need to grow with vigour. Often used in combination with other growth stimulants, they can make all the difference between a meagre crop and a bountiful harvest. Which is right for your garden? There are a variety of products available at your local garden centre specially formulated to enrich almost any soil type. The most efficient fertilizers for your basic gardening needs, however, are those that include the following ingredients: • Nitrogen • Bone meal • Compost
• Manure • Phosphorous • Potassium Are you ready to harvest fresh, brightly coloured veggies? Visit a garden centre near you to find the quality products your garden craves!

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION What to plant to attract butterflies to your garden Flower gardens, with their bright colours and delicate aromas, delight our senses in more ways than one. Add colourful butterflies to the mix and these magical outdoor spaces become the very essence of nature’s beauty. If you’re looking to populate your gardens with these whimsical winged creatures, here are a few tricks to get them fluttering your way. First, plant your flower garden in a calm and sunny area that’s well shielded from the wind. Next, install a decorative item like a small mural or a statue — preferably something made of stone — where your pollenloving friends can perch to soak up the sun or rest between foraging expeditions. Now, for the most important component: the flowers! Butterflies are especially attracted to fragrant, nectar-rich varieties such as: • Milkweed • Hawthorn • Hibiscus • Butterfly bush

Two and Three Mile cousins knew how to cause a stir Getting invited to a birthday party didn’t happen very often. Birthdays, if celebrated at all, were left to the family. And if your birthday was close to Easter, or Christmas, like mine was, all you got was cake with well-used candles on it. There would be no money for even the simplest of presents. But Two-Mile-Herman’s home was different. There were 11 children in his family, some of them married and on farms of their own, and there was young Cora, who was my age, and when her birthday rolled around, those of us who were in her grade were simply invited by an older brother or sister at recess at the Northcote School. There was no such thing as written invitations. And so, one Saturday, my brother Everett drove me over to the Barr Line in the buggy for Cora’s birthday party. The place was fair jumping by the time we got there. All Cora’s friends from school were there, as well as various cousins, including Three-Mile-Herman. Now, the two cousins didn’t always see eye-to-eye, and it was
a n everyday occur-
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
rence to see them come to blows behind the Northcote School over something as simple as failing to hit the ball, or make it to first base. Presents weren’t expected either. And if one was offered, it would be something simple like a little fancy hanky taken from a Christmas present, received from a rich aunt months before, or a toy watch from a box of crackerjacks. You were there to have fun, eat, and go home with one of the butterscotch suckers gathered together with an elastic band, and bought at Briscoe’s General Store for a nickel a bunch. It didn’t take long for the boys to separate from the girls, going outside to play tag, shoot tin cans off the fence with their slingshots, or sitting on the
pump platform playing marbles. Cora’s friends elected to stay inside, never taking our eyes off the big mile high cake in the centre of the kitchen table. It seems to me, all we were there for was to eat cake and go home with a butterscotch sucker. Cora’s mother eventually went to the back door, banged a wooded spoon on the bottom of a tin pot, and the boys tore into the kitchen and with us girls circled the huge table that easily sat Two-Mile-Herman’s complete family. It was cake time, which to me was far more exciting than just sitting around doing nothing. Because inside the cake we knew there would be a few coins wrapped in wax paper, including a whole dime. No one knew who would
get the dime. It depended entirely on where Cora’s mother cut into the cake. I was told by Mother before I left home that if I was the lucky one, I was to hand the dime over to Cora, which I didn’t think the least bit fair. Well, I needn’t have worried, because Three-Mile-Herman got it, and that’s when the fight started. Two-Mile told his cousin to hand it over to his sister Cora, but Three-Mile already had it in his pocket, and announced he’d be leaving because his Father would be waiting for him at the Northcote Side Road. Two-Mile threw himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove. The rest of us sat around the kitchen table eating cake as if a free-for-all between the two cousins was an everyday occurrence, which it was. Cora’s mother simply went to the pump in the kitchen, pumped out a dipper of water, and threw it over the two boys, which brought the fight to a sudden halt. She just stood there with the dipper in her hand, and her arm
stretched out. Three-Mile knew what she was after, and he pulled the wax paper-wrapped dime from his pocket and handed it over, which was then handed over to Cora. Cora licked the cake off the wax paper, and tore upstairs with the dime to put it away for safekeeping. The party was over. Everett was waiting for me outside with the buggy, and I went home wondering why anyone bothered to have a birthday party in the first place. I would never be lucky enough to find a dime in my piece of cake, and besides, we had cake every Sunday, so that was no treat either. I talked it over with my sister Audrey, and we both decided celebrating birthdays at home with only the family was far better than getting all dressed up, just to come home with a butterscotch sucker!

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes
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 20 Aries, finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up aboutwhat you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can probably come up with something promising.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin, Sagittarius. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something, Taurus. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being. Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through. The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take the emotional plunge, Cancer. Someone special needs to hear about it pronto. This is not a week to clam up, but rather one to share your feelings and let others in.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 The time has come to spend less time thinking and more time doing, Scorpio. Turn a page in your life and you’ll likely be satisfied with the results.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you always have time to do something for yourself, but you might need to put that on hold right now and focus on others. Forge ahead even if you are met with resistance.
