EMC News - Playing against, or beating the boys? Not a problem. Leaving behind their teammates for a week? Might be a different story. Three Nepean Wildcats bantam AA girls hockey players have qualified for the Ontario Winter Games being held in Collingwood. Sabina Kukurudziak, a defender from Greely, Brianna Lahey, a right-winger from Manotick, and Serena Weaver, a centre forward from Nepean, will all travel to Southern Ontario for the tournament, which begins March 5. Over 500 girls tried out to play at the tournament, with a local tryout held for the Ottawa region in Rockland. The tryouts were one of the first times the girls had been split up onto different teams. It will be a big change for the trio, who will probably be split up again at the tournament as the chosen athletes are divided randomly onto eight different teams. The girls are used to hitting the ice together at least four days a week, plus playing in seven tournaments through the winter and playing for same spring team. “It’ll be different because we always play together,” said Lahey, who plays on the same line as Weaver for the Wildcats. They’ll also have to get used to playing without their teammates, an extremely close knit group of girls. “We’re going to be apart for a whole week,” Lahey realized, then laughed after a panicked expression crossed her face. “I’m going to miss my defense partner,” said Kukurudziak. “It’s going to be difficult to play with someone else.” They’re going to have to prepare for it in the future though, with all three girls, Grade 9 students, aiming to play uni284240_0219

versity hockey – Weaver is shooting for McGill, Lahey for an American school and Kukurudziak for St. Francis Xavier. They’ve all got goals to play at the national level as well, qualifying for the U18 Team Canada, and eventually play for the seniors women’s team. “It would be hard to get there,” Weaver said. “But that’s the goal.” This is just the start, and the first time the girls will be exposed to hockey scouts. They’ve all been preparing for this since the summer, and Weaver started training on a daily basis months before their fall season start even began. Well chosen for captain, her teammates laugh several times when she reminds them of a detail she read in their Winter Games package, or talk about her reminders to the team to eat properly and keep drinking their water. Kukurudziak and Lahey are both assistant team captains for the Wildcats, who play in the AA Ottawa league – the highest level available for them to play at in Ottawa. The Ontario Winter Games are limited to bantam level players, who are Grade 8 and 9 aged. They’re still expecting a high level of competition, with some fast and strong competitors coming from across the province. Their skill level often surprises their friends, who aren’t always aware of the level hockey being played by girls in the region. “Especially the guys,” said Lahey. “They see us play and then they see that we’re good.” Unlike other athletes, who view missing parties and hang outs with their friends as a sacrifice, these girls are over it, and agree they’d rather be at the rink with their team anyways. “We’ve been waiting for this forever,” said Kukurudziak.

More connectivity for Greely Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC News - Greely’s community design plan has been updated to include more pathways between communities, after a series of consultations to refresh the planning guideline. Lead planner Rose Kung said most of the CDP revisions were administrative: updating maps and refreshing the text. However Kung said some major changes were made to promote greater connectivity in the village, outlining desired paths and linkages for the future. “We spent a whole bunch of time on the green space network, because connectivity was an important thing

for residents. We heard loud and clear about connectivity,” Kung said. Greely residents at workshops in March and December 2011 stated time and again that their various developments are too isolated from each other, and that they would like pathways connecting the subdivisions so that families can reach other areas of the village without having to walk or bike on the main roads. Pathways, parks and linkages that have been built since the CDP was last updated in 2005 have been added to the network, including the multi-use pathway that runs between Leitrim Road and Osgoode village.

But future pathways have been added, too. “We’ve shown the future connections we want, and we’re showing approximate location of future parks,” Kung said. She said adding future connections to the CDP makes it easier to ask developers to include them as the village is built out. The updated green space plan includes two future community parks similar to Andy Shields Park, with sports fields and other facilities. Kung said one would be located in the Quinn Farm development, and the other would be east of Bank Street. See CDP on page 2

Since Family Day and Heritage Day fall on the same date, the historic grist mill on the Rideau River will offer a free drop-in program from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to celebrate both occasions at once. “The idea is to share some family activities in a heritage way,” said education officer Cam Trueman, who said the two occasions are well paired. “Families are looking for things to do and places to go, and we can say ‘this is how families were in the past.’ We didn’t sit and watch a movie, we did activities to-

Ottawa woman wrestling for a female division Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC News - So long, Hulk Hogan. The women will take it from here. This Saturday, Feb. 18, Ottawa resident Julia Nules will wrestle in the match of her career: an exhibition game that could result in Ottawa’s first women’s wrestling division. While fans look on at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, a panel of judges will decide if Rage, a local wrestling promotion led by former wrestler Wayne Cryderman, should officially promote female wrestlers in the Ottawa area. “It’s like Dancing With the Stars, there’s going to be a three-panel board and fans to evaluate them after the match,” Cryderman said, noting that the decision will ultimately depend on the fans. “It has a lot to do with fans and how they react to the match.” Nules moved to Ottawa two and a half years ago, and has struggled to find female opponents. For the most part she wrestles men – her 6 foot 2 stature helps – but to play other women she’s had to travel to Renfrew and Cornwall. After losing a match against a male wrestler, Nules called on her fans to convince Rage to bring in an official women’s division. The fans started a petition, which earned enough names to convince Rage to

hold the exhibition game. Feb. 18 will be Rage’s first all-female fight. Wrestling is by nature a tough sport, and there are tough stigmas that come with it, Nules said. But as women’s wrestling slowly spreads out of Toronto and the US into smaller cities, fighters like Nules are starting to change the stereotypes. “There’s always that stigma: you fight like a girl, and there’s clawing and screaming and hair pulling. But we are trained in technique, we’re trained professionals,” she said. “We know what we’re doing in the ring. I’m not afraid to get hit and I’m not afraid to hit anyone.” She said women’s wrestling is helping women in and outside of the sport to be bold. “It shows women they can be charismatic, they can be powerful, they don’t have to be ditzy and I do have a brain. It shows other women that they can do whatever they want,” she said. Of course, being tough doesn’t mean you can’t be feminine. The walls of Nules’ Elmvale apartment boast several larger-than-life posters of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn looking as feminine as ever, alongside edgy hard rock posters and photos from her favourite concerts. And her on-stage persona is pretty female, too. Her

character Persephone Vice is a coming male wrestlers, mostly fierce fishnet-wearing fighter from Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.

Osgoode actors search for Wizard of Oz Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC News - Osgoode’s STAGE children’s theatre successfully pulled off its performance of Wizard of Oz at Osgoode Public School last week. Kids ranging from ages 8 to 15 took the stage Thursday, Feb. 9 and Friday, Feb. 10 to portray the classic story of Dorothy and her eclectic friends as they seek their hearts’ desires. The theatre group performs two shows each year: one in February and one in the spring. Although it’s now open to all Ottawa students in Grades 3 to 8, its roots are in the Osgoode Public School where it started as a volunteer-run drama club for students. Kerri Rossiter and Christina Leese began the theatre group when their own kids attended the school and wanted to act.

Six years later, the group has transformed into a fullyfledged business that welcomes kids in the Ottawa area, particularly those in rural Ottawa, to try the art of performing. “We did it for two years as a volunteer thing, and then we realized the demand was really there so we decided to make a go of it,” Rossiter said. She said it’s inspiring to watch the kids grow throughout the process. “It gives kids an opportunity to experience theatre. Our idea is commitment, discipline and respect. It’s fun to see the kids a bit shy the first week, and by week 18 (they’re ready). It’s fun to watch,” she said. Grade 6 Rideau Valley Middle School student Myhkaila Cushing played Dorothy, her first lead role in a play. She said the biggest challenge was “getting the emotions right”

and making the character her own. “I just try to make it as good as the movie, but I think it’s a bit funnier. Not as intense,” she said. Grade 7 Rideau Valley Middle School student Dana Bonner played the Wicked Witch of the West, and she also brought more humour to the role than in the original 1939 film. “I’ve made her more full of herself than she already is,” Bonner said. It seems most of Stage’s scripts are like this: reinvented, adapted versions of their original drafts, if not completely new altogether. Many scripts performed by the group have been original screenplays written by Leese, but a few were adapted works based on popular plays. Rossiter said they often add flexible characters into prewritten plays such as Wizard

of Oz, to accommodate kids who might not be ready to speak on stage. “There are kids who want to be on stage but not say anything, so we stick in some parts without lines,” she said, noting that often the children become bolder as the rehearsals continue, so the non-speaking characters tend to end up with a few lines. Leese also incorporates local content into pre-written scripts. “We sometimes add a story that everyone in the area would get, certain jokes. Last year we put in a joke about South Mountain,” Rossiter laughed. The young actors come from across rural Ottawa, including Osgoode, Metcalfe, Kars, Greely and North Gower. In April, Stage will produce Little Big Foot at Osgoode Public School on April 19 and 20. For more information about the theatre group visit www.stageonline.ca or call 613-826-0725.

Fish licence-free this Family Day EMC NEWS - If you’ve ever dreamed of reeling in a record fish, this is your chance. All Canadian residents are invited to grab a pole and start fishing during the annual licence-free long weekend Feb. 18 to 20. Throughout the province’s Family Day weekend, Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources has waived the need for a fishing licence to allow people to try fishing without having to drop a lot of cash on an Outdoors Card. The freebie weekend applies only to Canadian residents, and anglers must stick to the conservation limits outlined for their area. Alesha Caldwell with the Ontario Federation of Anglers

and Hunters administers the program, which encourages communities to host events to take advantage of the licencefree weekend and teach residents about the sport. Gearing up for the weekend, Caldwell has overseen the organization of countless fishing events across the province, including three in the Ottawa area. On Saturday, Feb. 18 the Ottawa Region Walleye League will host its third annual Kids Ice Fishing Event on Constance Lake in Ottawa’s west end. From 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. kids can try their hand at ice fishing alongside experienced anglers. League members will drill holes and provide fishing equipment and bait if needed and lunch is included. In Renfrew, the Castleford

Kadence Hein fishes with her dad Derek Stone at the 2011 Castleford Ice Fishing Derby in Renfrew. Each year the charity derby attracts hundreds of people. This year’s derby will take place Saturday, Feb. 18 during the ministry’s licence-free fishing weekend.

7th Annual Ice Fishing Derby will take place on the Ottawa River from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Feb. 18. The charity derby attracts hundreds of anglers young and old every year, and this year will raise money for Renfrew and Arnprior Community Living. In Ottawa proper, the Catholic Centre for Immigrants will host an ice fishing fundraiser on Monday, Feb. 20 for their annual Community Cup soccer tournament. For $10, residents can enjoy a hot lunch, hot chocolate and access to bait and rods. The group will also drill the fishing holes and provide a warm shack for the anglers. The group will meet on the Ottawa River between Masson-Angers, Quebec and Cumberland, Ontario east of Ottawa. Two buses will be available to take participants to the site, leaving from the centre’s headquarters on Argyle as well as Catherine Street. The group is asking for a $5 donation to take the bus. Caldwell said the weekend, along with a licence-free week in July, is useful to get new anglers started. “In general to be able to get involved in a sport you need a kick starter like getting a family member to take you out. So having licence-free opportunities reduces that barrier to get you out,” she said. Especially in the winter, fishing is a very accessible sport to get into, Caldwell said. “You’re not casting, you’re just fishing in a hole. So for ice fishing you just need a hook, rod and a line,” she said, laughing that sometimes a stick with a string and pieces of hot dog can catch more than her fancy equipment. Even a hut isn’t necessary, she said. “You don’t need a hut. They are available, you can go

Smooth $6,000 collected for Go Bald event Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC News - Seven kids and two adults were feeling pretty smooth on Feb. 4 as the fourth annual Go Bald for Wishes event in Metcalfe raised more than $6,000 for the local Make

a Wish Foundation branch. Organizer Kim Sheldrick said the event raised more money than ever this year. Her goal was to raise $3,500, which she almost doubled. Over the past three years, the event raised more than $14,000 collectively. With

this year’s fundraising the total will surpass $20,000 for the foundation. Her own two sons, Michael and Matthew Bates, were among the seven kids who had their heads shaved. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Osgoode

Coun. Doug Thompson were the day’s “celebrity stylists” and helped to shave several participants’ heads in the Metcalfe Lion’s Den. The Lions donated the use of the den as well as about $500 towards the event, Sheldrick said.

Make a Wish Foundation grants wishes to children who are suffering from life-threatening or terminal illnesses. The money raised is given to local children. In years past, several Metcalfe children have gone on trips with their families.

This year a boy in Osgoode will benefit from the fundraising, Sheldrick said. Sheldrick is still accepting donations towards the event. For more information about Make a Wish Foundation and the work it does, visit www. makeawish.ca.

ID#A140279 Meet Lewis, a four-month-old male, tan and white Teddy bear hamster. Lewis was admitted to the shelter as a stray on February 2, when a Good Samaritan found him in a plastic bin in a dumpster and brought him to the OHS. Lewis is looking for a warm and loving home where he can entertain himself on a hamster wheel and get some love and affection from his owners. He is well socialized and enjoys being picked up and cuddled. Visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00am-7:00pm and Saturdays 10:00am-5:00pm.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PET GOES MISSING Sometimes our furry friends escape, but there are steps to take to ensure this scary and stressful time goes smoothly and your pet gets home safe and sound as quickly as possible. If you have lost an animal, fill out a Lost Animal Report with the Ottawa Humane Society at www.ottawahumane.ca and email us a photo of your pet. The OHS receives thousands of lost animals every year. Submitting a complete Lost report will help us to quickly identify your pet, if it is brought to us. Submitting a Lost report is not a substitute for visiting the municipal animal shelter to look for your animal – visit the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Road to check if your pet has been brought in. Be aware that your dog could be almost anywhere. Exploring dogs have travelled as much as 20 kilometers in a single day. Do not limit your search to your neighbourhood only.

My Mom adopted me on November 9, 2011 and I was 2 years old. My previous owner was sad to let me go because her husband was allergic. The house I used to live in had two many animals, 2 dogs and other animals outside, i.e. horses, barn cats and I don’t think she had time for me. When I first came to my new home however, I had a bad habit but my new Mom was so patient with me and now she just adores me. I know because she keeps telling me! Now my life is grand! I live alone with my Mom and have the run of the house and she has time to play with me and takes good care of me. I have many spots to lie around and enjoy the sunshine and look outside at nature and birds. I’m so grateful to my Mom for rescuing me. She calls me Princess sometimes because that is exactly how I feel. Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out!

If you have lost your cat, search the area at dusk and dawn – be cautious around cars and garbage cans. Inform your neighbours and ask them not to feed your cat. Placing kitty litter outside may be enough to entice a nervous or shy cat to return to a site that smells familiar. Photos of most stray cats recently admitted to our shelter are posted online at www.ottawahumane.ca. Pictures are posted within 24 hours of admission, and the site is updated every hour. We will do our best to help with your search, but as the owner, you are ultimately responsible to look for and identify your pet. Make sure you have up-to-date photos of your pet so that you can put up posters in your neighbourhood. Make fliers that include the lost date, description and any unique markings,

a picture and your phone number – a reward motivates people! Be specific when describing your lost pet. Example: A large 6-year-old domestic short-haired cat, all black with white paws, neutered and declawed, friendly with people, answers to the name Newton Or: A 3-year-old medium size dog, 25 to 30 pounds, black and tan, shepherd mix, female, spayed, a little timid – answers to the name Shadow. Place a lost ad in the newspaper and check the Found section. Have your pet microchipped so that it can be scanned at a local vet clinic or at the OHS, and make sure to update microchip information if you move. Keep identification tags up-to-date with your phone number and address. A City of Ottawa License will also help identify your pet.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Light rail contract should pay off for taxpayers O

ttawa taxpayers are about to invest $2.1 billion in light rail. For all that cash, it would be nice to see benefits beyond rails and stations. City council cannot build in contract provisions that see the light-rail builders required to buy supplies locally and use local service providers because of the provincial Discriminatory Business Practice Act. Requiring local purchasing could benefit the local

economy, and in a cycle of spending, would provide spinoff benefits to the taxpayers footing the bill. The potential opportunities are staggering. While Ottawa may not be home to the steel mills needed to forge the actual rails, local companies could provide legal and financial services, supply electrical systems and install them, and pour the concrete for tunnels and overpasses. Each of those local companies would in turn

need to contract with local services and suppliers. And this is no fly-by-night project. The light-rail system will take years to build, meaning the jobs and investment would be around for a considerable period of time. While the province bars any contract provision that discriminates based on the “geographic location” of a business, the city is trying to get local companies linked up with the light-rail consortia.

The city took a first step in the right direction by organizing a trade show on Feb. 9 so local businesses could meet with the companies most likely to carry out construction. Coun. Steve Desroches said the city was acting as “matchmaker” between the sellers and buyers. With more than $2 billion on the line, a more formal process is needed if we don’t want most of the spending to

head out of town on a rail. If there are no contractual requirements to “buy local,” you can be sure the winning bidders will try and maximize their profits by buying the least expensive goods possible. That may mean companies from elsewhere in Canada, or internationally, will receive cheques while local businesses are left behind at the station, so to speak. If we can’t write a requirement into the contract, the

city can make its preferences clearly known to the winning bidders. No one is advocating “buy local” at any cost, but if an Ottawa-based supplier can come close – say within 10 per cent of the outsider’s price – then the rail contractors should play favourites and purchase the local goods or services. The city needs to sign, seal and deliver a contract that pays off for the winning bidders and pays off for taxpayers too.

Crisis? What crisis? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

hat was an amazing photo in the paper, showing a long string of buses backed up on the Transitway, while police and OC Transpo people tried to sort out the mess after a crash of two buses during rush hour. You look at it and empathize immediately – with the people who were injured but also with the people on those other buses. Because you can picture yourself in there, waiting helplessly, wanting to get home. Or out in the cold, waiting for another bus while traffic piles up on Scott Street. Perhaps you can picture yourself angry, yelling at somebody to do something. The interesting thing is that people didn’t seem to be yelling at anybody. The passengers interviewed by local media were the opposite of angry. “It sucks but at the same time accidents are going to happen regardless so you just got to grin and bear it,” one guy told the Citizen, as he waited for another bus. “There’s not much to complain about,” said another. “It happens, right?” “Some people were getting a bit frustrated but most people were pretty calm about it,” a woman told CTV Ottawa. That calmness did not apply to the comments section of news websites, where many people used the occasion to vent spleen about OC Transpo. But they weren’t there when it happened – and they wouldn’t have been helpful if they were. What matters is that the people in the middle of the crisis seemed patient and accepting. Canadians are sometimes mocked for having these qualities – as contrasted to the more asser-

tive Americans – but they serve us well in times of stress. It’s true that orderliness, some say meekness, is not a characteristic that makes for exciting movies, but those people are the ones you want around you when things fall apart. I remember a brief power outage in June when the traffic lights went out at the corner of Carling and Woodroffe. That’s four lanes in either direction having to move through the intersection with no policeman in sight – at rush hour. In a different country, known more for its individualism, it would have been a festival of horn-honking, aggressive driving and crushed fenders. Here, it was a spontaneously orchestrated ballet of cars taking turns. No fenders were crushed. Now, afterwards, when the crisis had passed there might have been recriminations in letters to the editor, on websites and open-line radio, but when the situation demanded it, calmness was the order of the day. Those who were around during the Ice Storm of 1998 will remember that too. Once the crisis had passed and we knew we would survive and get our toasters working again, some people began to complain. Yet, when the crisis was on, we were patient, we worked together, co-operated, helped other people and generally acted like a real community. This is the enduring memory of that period and it is an accurate one. The bitching came later and we don’t think of that so much. It would be nice to think that a crisis always brings out the best in us. It’s probably more accurate to say that it brings out the best in some of us and something less than the best in others. You have only to look at the recent Italian cruise ship disaster to see vivid examples of both types of behaviour. On a more everyday level, think about what happens when a flight is cancelled. Some people get on with their lives as best they can. Other people yell at the person behind the counter. Those are the ones you don’t want behind you at Carling and Woodroffe.

Hoffman making impact in second season with B-Sens By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Mike Hoffman is eager to embrace the challenge. Fresh off playing a key role in the Binghamton Senators’ charge to a Calder Cup crown last season, the 22-year-old native of Kitchener, Ont., feels ready to assume a greater role in his second season with the Ottawa Senators’ primary affiliate. “We’ve got a young team,” said Hoffman, who blossomed into a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League star after going undrafted and unclaimed by any team in the Ontario Hockey League. “I think everyone’s got a little bit more (responsibility) on them, including myself. I want to be scoring more goals and getting more points to help the team win as much as I can.” Hoffman’s pedigree certainly suggests a guy built for offence. In his final two junior seasons, he racked up 98 goals and 179 points, helping the Drummondville Voltigeurs reach the Memorial Cup in 2008-09 before earning QMJHL most valuable player honours with the Saint John Sea Dogs the following season. In between those two campaigns, the Senators made the 5-11, 175-pound centre a fifth-round pick (130th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. They’re hoping Hoffman turns into one of those late-round gems down the road, but some grooming down on the farm will come first. “(Hoffman) is a super skilled guy with top-end speed, and he’s wiry strong,” said Randy

Lee, the Senators’ director of hockey operations and player development. “He’s got a great one-time shot. He has to be an impact player every time he plays down there (in Binghamton) and he can do that. He can be a difference maker.” Life in the American Hockey League hasn’t always been rosy for Hoffman. He spent time during his rookie pro season with the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League and started the Calder Cup playoffs as a healthy scratch. But by the end of the B-Sens’ title run, head coach Kurt Kleinendorst was calling Hoffman his most improved player over the course of the post-season. “This guy was a top guy, the MVP of the Quebec league, so for him it was an adjustment,” said Lee. “He was patient and he waited for his opportunity in the playoffs last year … he carved out a bigger role for himself. It was a good experience for him and he made a good contribution to the championship win.” Hoffman called the Calder Cup run “a good confidence builder for me.” Though his aim is to become a “complete twoway player,” Hoffman also knows what’s brought him to the point. “I’m going to have to be an

offensive player, someone who’s putting pucks in the net and putting up points as much as I can,” said Hoffman, the B-Sens’ second-leading scorer behind

Rob Klinkhammer. “I definitely want to play in the NHL someday. For now, I just want to get better every single day I go to the rink.”

WASHINGTON CAPITALS Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7 p.m., TSN The Capitals are in a huge dogfight with the Florida Panthers for Southeast Division supremacy – not to mention a Stanley Cup playoff berth. While Alex Ovechkin remains this team’s most dynamic offensive talent, he’s nowhere near the 60-goal scorer he once was a few years back. The Caps’ attack is also hurting with the loss of centre Nicklas Backstrom to a concussion over a month ago. That ramps up the pressure on

the likes of Alexander Semin and Brooks Laich to produce more goals. Dennis Wideman provides help in that area from the back end, along with John Carlson. In goal, Tomas Vokoun provides Washington with steady, dependable play.

BOSTON BRUINS Saturday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m., CBC Though their play has been somewhat average of late, the Stanley Cup champion Bruins are still a formidable force and a top candidate to repeat in June. This is a team loaded with offensive threats, led by the versatile Patrice Bergeron and the bruising Milan Lucic. Young phenom Tyler Seguin is having a breakout season in his second full season in Boston, while Chris Kelly is putting up career numbers and Brad Marchand

remains a perpetual pest who’s also a major impact player. Zdeno Chara is the big man in many ways on the Boston blue line. In Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask, the Bruins boast arguably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL.

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!

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of #23 breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take.
