EMC news - Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt will hold public consultations this spring to discuss the future of the Manotick boat launch. He said he wants to meet by the end of April, but could have to wait until May, depending on schedules and marketing capabilities. In the fall of 2011, the City of Ottawa purchased from Parks Canada the small piece of land beside Bridge Street, just east of South River Drive. The city had been in talks with the federal department since 2004 to take over the boat launch, because Parks Canada no longer wanted the launch and the city didn’t own the foot of its own bridge. According to Moffatt, Parks Canada had originally indi-

cated that if the city bought and closed the launch, Parks Canada would operate a different launch further north at the Long Island locks. However, before the sale was finalized in 2011, Parks Canada said it would not operate a replacement launch. Parks Canada external relations manager Pam Buell said in an email that there was never an agreement to move the launch to Nicholls Island, and that Parks Canada is not planning to create a new boat launch in Manotick. “There are ample commercial and private boat launches in this stretch of the waterway. Parks Canada does not want to compete with private marinas for boat launching. A boat launch in this location is not a resource priority for Parks Canada,” she wrote.

Moffatt said Parks Canada’s stance has complicated the issue as the city tries to decide what to do with the land. “If you close it you upset people, but there are (also) people who don’t want the boat launch. So you leave it open and you upset people,” he said. The city’s original plan was to close the launch and create a small park, which would tie in with the city’s other holdings nearby such as the library and the aquatic club. Moffatt said the land can’t accommodate both a launch and a park, because there just isn’t room. “I’ve been trying to look around and see other options. There’s a whole slew of things around it and it’s been hard to nail down exactly what we should do,” he said.

The public consultations should help, although Moffatt said he has not received the level of feedback he expected. He said he approached residents and user groups, telling them directly that the city wants to close it and asking them what they want. “I got a few emails but nothing groundbreaking. Nothing that made me say, ‘I have to keep this open,’” he said. Manotick resident and boater Janice Domaratzki said the boating community just wants an accessible boat launch in the village, regardless of the location. However, she said there’s an opportunity to revamp the current site, especially once the city moves the north end of South River Drive to connect with Long Island Road across Bridge Street. This could po-

tentially leave more room for green space and parking. “Perhaps there is an opportunity to reconfigure that corner into a parkette with seating and a more organized parking area. “That would allow people to boat and then go for a walk into the village for a bite to eat, shopping, or a visit to the new farmer’s market,” she said in an email. “What we would hope is that, with safe parking, people could take their boats out of the water, and then head into the village.” She recognized the challenge of having cars parked for hours while they visit the village, which would limit the number of people who can park at the launch. Moffatt said he will “hash out a plan” for public consultations as soon as possible.

SCHOOL BOARD AMALGAMATIONS (savings of $27.2 million over 3 years) Photo by Emma Jackson

Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, right, and Mayor Jim Watson, middle, declared April Soles 4 Souls month with local businessman Don Robichaud, who has organized a used shoe collection campaign in Ottawa.

Soles help needy souls at O-YA emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Osgoode Youth Association is collecting soles for souls this month as part of a larger Ottawa campaign to obtain 200,000 pairs of gently used shoes in April. On Monday, April 2, local businessman Don Robichaud launched the Million Shoe Mission in Ottawa, a lofty campaign through Soles 4 Souls Canada to collect one million pairs of shoes in every province over the next 10 years - a total of 13 million shoes including the territories. The shoes are given to local charities and distributed across the globe to help communities in need. This year, the campaign will take place in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. The national goal is 400,000 pairs of shoes, and Robichaud said he hopes 200,000 will come from the Ottawa-Montreal area. Boxes have been set up across the city at all Local He-

roes restaurant locations, six Dymon Self Storage locations and at city hall. O-YA in Osgoode will serve as the rural Ottawa South drop-off point. “I’m hoping it’s going to be more appealing for people who live out here to donate shoes, if they don’t have to drive downtown,” said O-YA chairperson Heather Roe. She said it’s something the kids who use O-YA’s services can really get behind. “Paying back to people is awesome, and kids generally like to be involved in things like that,” she said. Robichaud said the charity accepts all kinds of shoes, from sturdy runners to high heels. “We like to say that people in Haiti need to dress up. So the pumps work, too,” Robichaud laughed. He encouraged all Ottawa residents to do a little spring cleaning and get rid of shoes they no longer wear. Throughout April the shoes will be collected and sorted, and then local charities can “cherry

pick” the shoes they need for their clients. Robichaud expects they will take about 10 per cent of the stock. Another 14,000 will be given to Ottawa charity Sole Responsibility to send 7,000 pairs to Somali refugees in Yemen and 7,000 to Kenya. The rest of the shoes will be shipped to a central warehouse in Nevada where they will be distributed across the globe. Since 2004, the U.S. version of the charity has distributed 17 million pairs of shoes and supported countries through dozens of natural disasters, including the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan. Robichaud began collecting shoes for Soles 4 Souls in Kelowna, B.C. in 2010 as a way to give a local shoe business some exposure in the community. But as the shoes kept coming in, he and business partner Jim Belshaw realized they had something much bigger on their hands. “I think why people have really jumped behind this

has to do with the fact that we don’t ask for any money. We just ask you to do a little spring cleaning, clean out your closet and bring in your shoes,” Robichaud said. Robichaud pulled in a number of local businesses to get Ottawa’s campaign off the ground this April, including Steve Creighton, vice president of Dymon Self Storage. Creighton said he was “delighted” to support the campaign by providing drop-off locations and storage for the shoes, as well as a sorting facility. “It’s very easy for us... to take wearing shoes for granted. Around the world of course many, many people, adults and children, just don’t have that luxury,” he said. “We hope our facilities are just stuffed to the limits.” Mayor Jim Watson and Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume declared April Soles 4 Souls month in Ottawa. For more information about Soles 4 Souls Canada, visit www.soles4soulscanada.com.

UNDERUTILIZED SCHOOLS (savings of $116.2 million over 3 years) Beginning in 2013-2014, to reduce underutilized schools in urban areas, the government will change school board allocations to encourage consolidation of school sites.

STUDENT TRANSPORTATION (savings of $34.3 million over 3 years) Continue to work with school boards to find efficiencies through consortia and competitive procurement.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS (savings of $35.9 million over 3 years) As of September 2013, the government is moving to cap successful secondary credits at 34, 4 more than the Ontario Secondary School Diploma requires.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Full Day Kindergarten will continue to be implemented by September 2014. Primary Class Size Cap remains.

COMPENSATION The freeze on executive compensation which would have been lifted on April 1, 2012, will be extended for another two years.

COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS Existing collective agreements, which expire on August 31, 2012, will be respected. Budget provides for no funding for incremental compensation increases in new collective agreements. Finally, a new annual sick leave plan will be implemented.

GRANTS Education Program Other Grants will be reduced including grants to third parties who deliver programs. (savings of $107 million over 3 years) Program Enhancement Grant is being discontinued, with $20 million reallocated to the EPO to support outdoor education. (savings of $65.9 million over 3 years) Funding for curriculum & teaching specialists will be reduced. (savings of $91.1 million over 3 years) Reductions in the school operations and renewal grants will be realized by updating benchmarks to reflect the current age and size of schools. (savings of $32 million over 3 years)

To reduce administrative expenses and back office expenses, the government will pursue savings through amalgamation. In areas of low population growth and declining enrolment, the Ministry will work with Boards to identify potential Boards for amalgamation. This will not include amalgamation of public and catholic school boards.

Watson’s Mill AGM approves strategic review Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - About 40 people attended Watson’s Mill annual general meeting on Sunday, April 1 to celebrate the year’s successes and to plan for the future. Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said the meeting went smoothly, celebrating the completion of its strategic planning review. Geoffrion said one of the

that might have an impact on the overall direction. We can never really predict what’s coming up in the future, you can just have a direction of where you see yourself, what you’d like to do and head towards that,” she said.

Watson’s Mill hosted its annual general meeting on Sunday, April 1. she said. Moffatt said that’s standard practice. “The whole thing is a process. If there’s ever new information coming through, the staff would take it into account as best they can into the vision of the quarter,” he said. While the mill’s strategic plan is separate from the board’s mandate, it could inform the board as to how its plans could impact the heritage site. “When we’re doing planning for the rest of the square we are respecting that the mill is the cornerstone of the square, but our goal is not to impact the mill and what they do,” he said. Moffatt said he was meeting with city staff in early April to begin planning public consultation dates to reveal

the two development options currently on the table. “We’re looking forward to the public meeting where all will be revealed,” Geoffrion said. The mill’s AGM also acclaimed five returning board members in an unusual turn of events where no challengers stepped up to cause an election process. “Usually we have a whole line-up of people,” Geoffrion laughed. She said she thinks the mill’s membership has been happy with this board’s progress, so members didn’t feel the need to challenge the current board. She said the board has increasingly been using sub-committees to spread the workload and increase productivity.

munity Development Corporation, a private corporation owned wholly by the city, which is tasked with creating a commercial development plan for the square. However it has yet to reveal the development options it has been working on since it bought the buildings in 2008. “We don’t have those details. They’re confidential meetings and the members do not have the authority to report publicity,” explained Geoffrion. “It’s been very difficult because...you can only plan six months in advance and hope its going to be status quo.” Although the development corporation doesn’t own the mill, it does own the carriage shed the mill uses as an administrative and programming building, and Dickinson House which also adds to the mill’s historic interpretation. What the corporation decides to do with these buildings could significantly impact the mill. Geoffrion said the corporation board, chaired by RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, has been “really respectful” of the mill’s mandate. The board put some of its plans on hold until the mill’s strategic review was complete in order to take it into account,

Manotick fun run to remember Al Corace

And no wonder. The former Nortel employee and Royal LePage real estate agent was a true pillar of the community: a long-time member of the Kiwanis, he served one year of his twoyear Kiwanis presidency before he died. He was a Grand Knight with the Knights of Columbus at St. Leonard’s Church, and a scout leader for

EMC news – When Manotick Kiwanis president Al Corace passed away last July at age 66, St. Leonard’s Church was packed with more than 500 residents, colleagues and friends who came to honour the Brooklyn, New York native who made Manotick his home. Now, two event planners hope Manotick residents will once again come together for Corace’s sake, at the Manotick Road Race on Saturday, April 21. For years, Corace ran the Manotick Fun Run in support of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, where he had received a quadruple bypass in the mid-1990s and became a regular outpatient. “He went to the (institute’s) rehab and got to know everybody...and that’s how the idea came about,� said Claudette Corace, Al’s wife of 13 years. “He wanted to give back to the Heart Institute, so he said lets do this fun run and walk.� The run attracted hundreds of community members, professional runners and patients from the institute. The annual event ended in the mid-2000s when the cost to organize the run and provide nurses and ambulances to support the participating patients was greater than the $25,000 to $40,000 the event was able to raise. Now, the co-founders of race event planning company InStride Events have resurrected the fun run in memory of Corace, and in support of the heart institute. “Al Corace was an incredible community man, he did so much in Manotick,� said InStride co-founder Laura Glasper. “He’s done incredible things with the Manotick Kiwanis. The whole community knows him.� Last year InStride hosted its inaugural Manotick Road

19 years. In 2000, the heart institute gave him the Monsignor Paul Baxter Award for his commitment to supporting the institute. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt knew Corace when he coached Moffatt’s minor softball team, and Moffatt got to know him better when he joined the Kiwanis in 2006. He said Corace was involved in nearly everything, and was always happy. “He was always a positive guy, always extremely happy and it was hard not to be happy when you were around him,� he said, noting the community was shocked when he passed away. Former Rideau Township mayor and Ottawa city councillor Glenn Brooks also remembered Corace as infectiously positive. “He was a charismatic community leader who always looked for the best in those he met. This was really his hallmark. Al was the man who had an everlasting smile and a joke on his lips. He always had a story to tell you,� Brooks said. Moffatt said he’s glad the InStride founders are reaching out to the community by honouring Corace. “I think it’s smart that they’re embracing the community they’re in by honouring Al. It only makes the race that much more ‘Manotick,’� he said. Corace’s wife said she was overwhelmed that the women at InStride Events wanted to honour her husband. “I was overwhelmed that these two young ladies thought of doing this,� she said. The road race will include two, five and 10-kilometre routes as well as a family run. Fees range from $25 to $45 per person, and up to $60 for a family. Fees will go up for those who register on race

EDITORIAL

Pet owners have stake in what’s left behind

S

pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite

season. Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers aren’t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs. Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and that’s no fun for anyone. The vast majority of dog

owners clean up after their pet – if they didn’t, we’d be knee deep in the stuff by now. So how do we convince the offending few to scoop? Do we need more laws and regulations? Pet owners would no doubt say “No.” And our bylaw officers have better things to do than stake out parks on the off-chance a bad owner will offend in plain view.

Do we need better education? The city advises owners to scoop poop and take it home, where they should flush it down the toilet so that our sewage system can treat the dog dirt like it does our own. Why not use a garbage can in the park or the bin at home? Turns out all the poop that ends up in the trash will become part of the city’s landfill, making it even more

of a challenge to prevent toxins from seeping into our waterways. Even if you own a dog and choose to use a garbage can, that’s a darn sight better than failing to scoop at all. Maybe we need to make things easier for all pet owners by providing better poop containers in the, shall we say, hotspots. That would take tax dollars. Some offenders may be children who don’t like

the idea of carrying a bag of poop to the garbage or back home. If your son or daughter takes the dog out for a walk, why not insist they bring home what Rover eliminates, just to be sure your family isn’t part of the problem. In the end (no pun intended), if the problem gets worse, society will put in place penalties or regulations that affect all dog owners – the good and the bad.

Maybe licence costs will rise to cover clean-up costs. Maybe a bylaw you disagree with will be passed. To avoid those potential pitfalls, pet owners should be at the forefront of making sure all owners scoop after their dogs. Use peer pressure. Use education. Carry an extra bag to clean up after an owner who gives you a bad name. After all, it’s dog owners that have the most to lose.

Making your own noise CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

his happened at a basketball game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, but it could have been anywhere. The scoreboard lights up and says “NOISE!” and a voice booms out: “Make some noise!” And guess what? Everybody makes noise. Sheep, that’s what we are. Noisy sheep. Somebody with a microphone tells us to do something and we do it. There’s nothing new about this. It’s been going on in stadiums and arenas ever since the technology allowed it. But there was a time when the noise was spontaneous. It came from the flow of the game. When the game became exciting, the fans became excited, all by themselves. “We want a hit!” is a vintage bit of noise, found at ancient baseball games. Now nobody says “We want a hit!” Instead, we clap or stomp our feet if the scoreboard tells us to. Occasionally the scoreboard gets it right. The folks begin chanting “DEE-FENCE!” just around the time that defence is called for. That’s nice, you think, but then you look up at the scoreboard and realize that the fans are chanting “DEE-FENCE!” because that’s what’s on the scoreboard. There must be limits to this. Surely, you would not throw your beer at the mascot if the scoreboard said “THROW YOUR BEER AT THE MASCOT!” But you never know. History is full of examples of weird crowd behaviour, of people doing things they never thought they would do because everyone else was. While you wish people would be a bit more individualistic in crowds at the arena, confor-

mity is not always a bad thing. We all stop at the red light, for example. Individualistic behaviour at intersections would not be helpful to society. Likewise, people doing whatever they want in the classroom can create problems. The same with church. The same with shopping mall parking lots. But a little spontaneity can be refreshing. And it can be quite effective. I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy who claims that he began the spontaneous chant about firing the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. “FIRE WILSON!” he chanted, early in the game and nothing happened. Nobody else chanted with him. He tried it a couple of times more and eventually it worked. Without prompting from the scoreboard, the chant spread around the arena. Perhaps it worked too well. Whether it was a direct result or not, the coach was looking for other employment the next day. For sure, this was unkind. You wouldn’t want to show up at work and find everyone chanting that you should be fired. But at least it was spontaneous. A slightly less spontaneous chant arose at Scotiabank Place the other night, when fans of Daniel Alfredsson began chanting his name at a time specified in an Internet campaign. This was nice, richly deserved and definitely an improvement over slavishly following the dictates of the scoreboard and the public address system. Some day the Internet may replace the scoreboard as cheerleader and we’ll have to watch out. People get into trouble following the crowd on the Internet. Bad things happen to their computers, or worse. Most people who know hockey and know Ottawa expect there to be real emotion in the stands in the playoff games to come. So much so that no one should need any prompting to jump up and cheer. The question is whether we have become so accustomed to following the scoreboard that we’ll still wait to be prompted. We shouldn’t. “Go Sens go!” is not the world’s most original cheer, but it will sound great when 19,153 or so people are chanting it all by themselves.

Sens’ Karlsson at forefront of Norris debate By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com He’s enjoyed a front-row seat during this season for the ages. And Senators goaltender Craig Anderson minces no words when he talks about the massive impact Erik Karlsson’s many talents — fully unleashed in a system that emphasizes speed above all else — have had during Ottawa’s surprising run to a berth in the Stanley Cup playoffs. “He’s been outstanding for us,â€? Anderson said of a blueliner who has emerged as a serious contender for the James Norris Trophy, awarded annually to the National Hockey League’s top defenceman. “When he’s on the ice, he makes things happen.â€? No defenceman in the league owns a more impressive set of statistics than the 21-year-old Swede, a ďŹ rst-round pick by the Senators (15th overall) in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Heading into the ďŹ nal two games of the Senators’ season, his 77 points (19 goals, 58 assists) were tops among all NHL blueliners and it isn’t even a race — next in line, both with 52 as of a week ago, were Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins and Brian Campbell of the Florida Panthers. Only three other defencemen in league

history have held a margin of at least 20 points over their nearest pursuer in a given season. All of them — Bobby Orr, Paul Coffey and Denis Potvin — are Hockey Hall of Famers. Through play last Wednesday, you also would have found Karlsson’s name atop the leaderboard among NHL blueliners in shots (252),

even-strength points (49), goals (16) and assists (33). He also rates second in power-play points (28) and ďŹ ve of his goals have been game winners. Proving that he’s not all offence, the native of Landsbro, Sweden, tops all league blueliners in takeaways (64). But Karlsson’s value to the Senators goes way

Senators’ first-round playoff tickets now on sale Believe it, Ottawa. Your Senators are back in the Stanley Cup playoffs. And there’s no better place to be than Scotiabank Place to catch all the excitement. Tickets for all openinground playoff home games are now on sale and available online at www.capitaltickets. ca, by calling 613-599-FANS (3267), 1-877-788-FANS (3267), or at The Sens Store locations at Carlingwood Mall and Place d’OrlÊans, any Ottawa Sports Experts

location, Les Galeries de Hull, and the arena box ofďŹ ce. It’s the 13th time in the last 15 seasons that the Senators have advanced to the Stanley Cup playoffs. They are opening the post-season on the road, with Games 3, 4 and a potential Game 6 all slated to be played at Scotiabank Place. Senators season-seat owners who have renewed their seats for 2012-13 (in addition to any new season-seat purchasers) will be eligible to purchase playoff tickets at the same cost

as their regular-season seats – a savings which could amount to as much as a 60 per cent discount over the regular price. Also, season-seat packages for the 2012-13 season are currently on sale and will provide priority access for any additional 2012 playoff rounds. Half-season seat packages for the 2012-13 campaign are available for as low as $28 per seat per month (300-level seating) and as low as $130 per seat per month for 100-level seating.

beyond the numbers. Anderson, for one, will tell you there is no defenceman in the NHL who means more to his team in terms of its success. “We wouldn’t be where we are right now without him,â€? said Anderson. “Hands down, he is one of the main reasons why we sit where we sit (in a playoff position). I can’t say that for any other defenceman in the league right now, that their team is so dependent on one player. “Not that we rely on just one player but in the grand scheme of things, he is our Sidney Crosby or whatever you want to call him for our team.â€?

that people appreciate what I’m doing and liking what I’m doing out on the ice,â€? said Karlsson. “And I like that people are noticing this team is a good team ...

All the teams (in the NHL) play pretty solid defence and (MacLean) came in with that philosophy, that we needed to generate a lot of speed and create a lot of opportunities and not just sit back and hope the other team makes mistakes. It’s been working pretty well for us.â€? Lest you think Karlsson is all about offence, Anderson points toward his plusminus rating, which stood at +19 with two games to go — a huge jump from the -30 he sported a year ago. It’s particularly impressive given that the Senators’ goal differential as a team is currently +13. “With Karl, look at his plus-minus,â€? said Anderson. “It’s around +20 and Chara is around +35 and he’s on the best team in the league for goal differential. And we have a +13 differential as a team and (Karlsson) is about +20. Right there, that shows you he’s a competitor both offensively and defensively. “The biggest thing I’ve seen in his game is that he’s a two-way player.

Rideau Valley students rock the stock market Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC community - At the sound of a bell, Grade 8 students at Rideau Valley Middle School descend on a trade desk to buy and sell their stocks from volunteer parents, who exchange faux money for colourful slips of paper stocks. Some students are crestfallen to hear the stock they had set their hearts and money on is sold out. Others hand over wads of cash in exchange for only a few stocks. All have to rush back to the trading floor for advice, shouting to their team mates across the gym. The Stock Market Challenge was created more than 30 years ago by Lin Dickson and Glenn Kletke, who were teachers at Fielding Drive Public School off McCarthy Road in the Hunt Club area. Now retired, the teachers still deliver the program each year to a number of Grade 8 classes in the Ottawa area. During the week of April 2, 3 and 4 they delivered the program to four Grade 8 classes at Rideau Valley Middle School in Kars. The challenge was a threeday lesson in how the stock market works. For two days, students learned about the stock market, got investment tips, and heard about the advantages of working in an all-girl, all-boy or mixed team. They chose their team, created a name for their broker-

On the third day, the young brokers donned their costumes – ranging from the Super Mario Brothers to rabbits to farmers – and spent the day at a make-shift stock exchange in the school gym, to see who could come out on top. The Corn Stocks, Piggy Bankers, Hockey Stocks and other creatively named teams began with $1,000, and they got bonuses for costume design, outstanding skill or for winning challenges. From 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

the teams alternated between scribbling frantically in their ledgers, scanning newspaper headlines for updates on their stocks and trading in the exchange. At the end of the afternoon, the most valuable all-girl brokerage, all-boy brokerage and mixed brokerage were crowned, as well as an overall victor. Kletke said all-girl teams tend to be more organized and are better at saving, while all-boy teams take more risk. He said mixed teams tend to take the overall winning title

because they have the best of both qualities. He added that the whole exercise is less about teaching kids about stocks and more about honing a number of skills they don’t even know they’re using throughout the game. “Under the guise of the stock market challenge, it’s an educational activity that promotes a lot of skills,” he said. They use math skills to keep their ledgers updated, reading and comprehension skills to analyze headlines and decide which stocks they’ll buy or

While the program has nev-

er expanded into other parts of Ontario or Canada, Kletke and Dickson did take the program to Malaysia and Singapore several years ago. A third organizer, Ron Binette, gave the entire event an official feel as stock prices constantly changed on the large screen at the front of the gym. Headlines periodically flashed good and bad news.

Ottawa Little Theatre hosts eastern festival Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - This spring, Ottawa theatre goers had a taste of Eastern Ontario when the Ottawa Little Theatre played host to five plays in five days. The Ottawa Little Theatre, along with four other eastern Ontario theatre companies, is participating in the Eastern Ontario Drama League 2012 Spring Festival which started on April 10 at the Ottawa Little Theatre in Lowertown and wraps up with an awards brunch on April 15. Organizer Jane Morris said

the festival features four fulllength productions from the Domino Theatre in Kingston, Prince Edward Community Theatre in Picton, Peterborough’s Theatre Guild and The Bay of Quinte Community Players along with the Ottawa Little Theatre’s own production, Self-Help, which was held over for a day to kick off the festival. Having attended festivals like this one in the past, Morris said the sets for each of the plays are amazing, which is a task in itself. “All the productions have to have sets which will trans-

port to whereever the festival is being held, which makes for a really interesting festival,” Morris said. The drama league was established in 1933 and represents 28 community theatre groups from Halliburton to Cornwall. The organization holds two festivals each year for the theatre community, the spring festival and the One-Act Festival, which was also held in Ottawa this year. The festival also features an awards ceremony, with 16 different honours given out at a brunch on the last day of

the festival, where one theatre company will take home the top prize for best production. The winner will take its play to the province-wide Theatre Ontario Festival this May in Sault St. Marie. An adjudicator will attend all the plays and offer professional critiques after each production and help choose who receives what awards. Ottawa-based theatre director John P. Kelly will be the adjudicator this year for the festival. Morris said it is purely coincidental, but with Kelly’s long history in the theatre

Ave. Tickets for the festival are $20 each or $75 for the entire festival and are available at the Ottawa Little Theatre or online at www.ottawalittletheatre.com.

Local band Hollerado loses Juno bid Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Manotickborn band Hollerado lost their bid for best video of the year at the 2012 Juno Awards on March 31, losing out to Toronto band The Sadies. Lead singer Menno Versteeg offered his congratulations to the winners, who he said are “buddies” of Hollerado. Versteeg said the band wasn’t too upset about the loss. “It’s great to win one but losing one is not a big deal.

And there’s always next year,” he said, noting that winning awards isn’t everything. “As much as I had a great time last weekend, I don’t think it’s the way to measure your personal worth as a band.” Hollerado’s video for Good Day at the Races was filmed in Kansas and mostly consists of the band members trying to ride ostriches. Drummer Jake Boyd said it was “a serendipitous thing” when director Michael Maxxis showed them his idea, because the band had previously wanted to ride ostriches for

their single Juliette but didn’t have the resources. “We figured this guy was the guy to go with,” Boyd laughed. The foursome flew to a 300-person town, where they spent less than two hours riding the ostriches at a local race track. In the video, a number of the town’s locals are shown watching in the stands. “It was funny for them because they watch real rodeos and ostrich races all the time, and this was a bunch of city kids falling on their butts,” Boyd said, noting it was

“scary as hell” riding the large birds. “It was like riding a big football without any control,” he said. Versteeg and guitarist Nixon Boyd were the only band members who made it all the way around the track without falling off. The video has little to do with the song’s lyrics, which chronicle the challenges of being gay in a small town. Versteeg said the song is based on a friend’s experience growing up in Manotick. “It’s a small town and word

gets around. And when I was growing up in the 90s it could be tough on people,” he said. He added that the band purposely stayed away from exploring the song’s content in the video. “If you try to act it out it can come off a bit melodramatic,” he said. “Sometimes the way to get people’s attention is to present an image that they’ve never seen before, and then they’ll be like ‘oh, what’s this song about?’. You’re presenting something that’s completely escapist from what you’re talking about.”

The band played a brief set at the Juno Week kickoff event at the National Arts Centre on Wednesday, March 28. The awards were handed out on March 31 and April 1.

‘CSI gloves’ are handy even when there’s no crime scene

T

here’s one type of glove that is really useful in the kitchen. It’s the thin latex type, sometimes referred to as CSI gloves. If you’re not familiar with the TV series, CSI stands for Crime Scene Investigation. You can buy these gloves by the boxful at most pharmacies and you’ll quickly discover how many uses they have around the kitchen. The gloves will keep your hands clean when you’re mixing meatloaf, or shaping meatballs or hamburger patties. If you’re dipping meat, chicken or fish in a liquid such as milk or egg, then in flour or bread crumbs, or in a barbecue sauce, the latex gloves will really come in handy to keep your hands clean. If you’re mixing or shaping cookie dough or kneading a sticky biscuit or bread dough, wearing CSI gloves reduces the mess in the kitchen. Slip the gloves off when you have to transfer a baking sheet or pan to the oven and you won’t be transferring bits of dough to everything you touch. And if you’re interrupted

Hoppy Easter!

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff when you’re in the middle of a messy task, you can slip off the gloves and respond to the interruption, whether it’s the phone ringing or a family member in need. To avoid cross-contamination, always discard the gloves after handling any raw meat or egg product. If you use the heavier yellow rubber kitchen gloves to wash dishes, you probably find that it’s always the right hand glove that gets a hole in it first. When that happens, instead of throwing out both gloves, keep the left hand glove. Turning the left glove inside out will make it into a glove that fits the right hand. Keep it as a spare for the next time you need to replace a right hand glove. And here’s another tip that you may find useful, particularly if you have a large collection of cookbooks. You may find, as I do, that you remember seeing a

recipe, but you can’t recall which cookbook it was in. Consider starting an index of your own for the recipes that you’re most likely to try. Whenever you browse through a cookbook, have a notebook handy. When you come across a recipe that you’d like to try, jot down the name of the recipe and the title of the cookbook in your notebook. Include the page number and any extra comments that will help you remember later what was special about it. Then, when you’re looking for a particular recipe, you’ll be able to check your own personalized index to find it. This will make it much easier to find the recipe. It also helps to use a sticky note to mark the page in the cookbook. Jot down the name of the recipe on the note and stick it on the appropriate page with the recipe name showing above the top of the page.

EMC news - Two young cancer patients presented Gov. Gen David Johnston with bouquets of daffodils at Rideau Hall on April 3 to mark the beginning of the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual fundraising campaign. Alyssa Shouldice, 6, and Cole Neville, 7, visited the greenhouses at the Governor General’s official residence with their families, presenting the bouquets to Johnston and his wife Sharon to launch Daffodil Month. Cancer Society president Peter Goodhand used the occasion to encourage all Canadians to participate. “I am honoured to be here with Alyssa and Cole and their families,” Goodhand said. “The good news is over 60 per cent of people diagnosed with cancer will survive, but that is not good enough.” Both Alyssa and Cole were diagnosed with rare cancers in 2010 and have spent much of their lives since fighting the odds and fighting their disease. Cole, a shy, truck-loving boy was declared cancer-free in July 2011, while Alyssa is still in treatment, but is back at school and will complete her treatments by April 2013.

Both children had time to sit with the Johnstons and discuss a favourite subject, their dogs. The Cancer Society uses the month-long campaign to raise cancer awareness with the volunteers raising money through the sale of yellow daffodil pins as well as the flowers themselves. “We want to create a movement across Canada and see thousands of Canadians wearing the daffodil pin,” Goodhand said. “United by the daffodil, we will show people living with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone, and we won’t give up until all forms of the disease are defeated.” April 27 has been identified as Daffodil Day by the society and is used to mark all the work accomplished throughout the month and offer Canadians a day to reflect on the impact the disease has on the country. “We encourage Canadians to do something special on Daffodil Day for those living with cancer or to contribute in some way to the fight against cancer,” Goodhand said. For more information about the Canadian Cancer Society of Daffodil Month please check out their website at www.cancer.ca.

MPP says provincial budget cuts don’t go far enough Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

EMC news - Dalton McGuinty’s provincial budget announced in March plans to cut $4.9 billion over three years, which would bring the province on track to bring down the deficit by 2017-18. But Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said it isn’t enough. “Don Drummond literally gave Dalton McGuinty a

roadmap to get out of debt and he’s not taking the recommendations,” MacLeod said, adding that by continuing to fund all day kindergarten and placing a cap on class sizes means that money has to come from somewhere. MacLeod said McGuinty needs to have a serious talk about Ontarians. “You can’t overspend for nine years than ignore the economic times,” MacLeod said. “The debt will impact the next generation. He needed to have

a JFK moment and tell people to ask not what their province could do for them but what they could do for their province.” MacLeod said with a minority government, McGuinty should have approached the other leaders to work out a budget, rather than presenting it once the document was finished. “Tim Hudak and Andrea Horwath had already outlined their positions about where

they would like to see the province go,” she said, adding Ontarians don’t want to see another election. In an effort to consolidate job creation and business support programs, the province is creating a Jobs and Prosperity Fund that will focus the goals of a bunch of inter-related programs. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli said that would amount to $250 million in savings in 2014-15. But MacLeod said the plan

to pull the slots out of the Rideau Carleton Raceway and other race tracks across the province will mean lots of lost jobs. “It won’t just be in the racetracks themselves, but jobs in the industry as well, like feed and stables,” she said. To help save costs, MPPs will also take a two-year pay freeze, bringing them to a five-year total pay freeze. The projected deficit for 2011-12 is projected to be

$15.3 billion, which is $1 billion lower than the forecast a year ago. Without the measures in the budget, Ontario’s deficit would approach $25 billion in 2014-15. Instead it is projected to be $10.7 billion. “Every dollar we are spending on debt we are not spending on education and healthcare,” MacLeod said. “The deficit is our third largest spending priority and we need to get that under control.”

Life-long love of English begins

M

other said it was a day to remember. Father said it was a day Mother took leave of her senses and “a fool and her money are soon parted” as well. It was a phrase he used often. The excitement started long before that special day, however. It all began when Mother decided what our family needed was a big dictionary, just like the one that sat on the corner of Miss Crosby’s desk with the Bible. Mother had a continuing love affair with the English language and she thought every new word we could learn would be like “a jewel in our crown.” I was never able to figure that one out. My older sister Audrey wasn’t sure exactly what Mother meant either, although she was reasonably sure every new word would have a lot to do with our success when we were all grown up. At any rate, Mother decided our family needed a big black Webster dictionary. There was an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer and it would cost next to nothing and be shipped free any place in the world. It was up to every one of us, she said, to get the money. Father said we weren’t to count on him. What earthly

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories good was a dictionary when your main concern was getting the wheat planted, the cows fed, the milking done and any other number of farm chores? His argument was lost on Mother and we five kids. That night, there was no sitting around the kitchen table leafing through the Eaton’s catalogue. The boys’ whittling would have to wait. The job that night was to see how much money we could all come up with. Audrey and I got our hankies out of the drawer, untying the knot in the corner and coming up with 36 cents between us. The brothers added about 40 cents to the pot. Mother went to the sugar bowl cupboard and took down the egg money. She emptied it out on the oilclothcovered table and sorted the coins. There were no bills, just a couple quarters, a few dimes and several big brown pennies. It looked like we were a long way off from what the ad was asking for. I was sure Father was grin-

ning behind the Ottawa Farm Journal from his rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Mother didn’t seem to be the least concerned. She filled out the coupon from the paper, wrote C.O.D. on it, put it in an envelope and Audrey was ordered to put it in our mailbox on the way to school the next morning. She said by the time the dictionary arrived, she would have earned the money from selling more eggs, butter, chickens and sticky buns door to door in Renfrew. And so the work began. Everyone but Father was on a mission. Every penny, every nickel was put in the blue sugar bowl building up for the day the mailman would deliver the big dictionary coming all the way from New York. Would it ever arrive? Each day coming home from school that was the first thing we asked Mother as we piled in the kitchen door. “Be patient,” she’d say. But we could tell she was just as anxious as we were.

Then one day, as we were coming down our long lane, there was Mother standing in the open doorway frantically waving her arms in the air. “It’s here ... it’s here!” There it was, in all its glory, sitting on a clean white flour bag tea towel on the kitchen table. It was almost as big as the family bible. Mother wouldn’t let any of us touch it until we had thoroughly washed our hands. Once we all had a good look at it, Mother carried it into the parlour and put it on the twig table. Rules were made on the spot. No one was to lay a finger on it until the hands had been washed. And no turning down a page to mark a place. No pencil marks underlining a word. We vowed to abide by every rule. After all, this was a major expense and it had to be treated with the utmost respect. Mother said if the dictionary was going to be worth anything, it had to be used, so we were to each find a word every night, write it down and become familiar with it. The ritual became part of our lives, just like browsing through Eaton’s catalogue and writing in our diaries. It opened up a whole new world for us, and so began our life-long love affair with words and the English language.

Wild mothers are looking for warm, safe spaces to nest with their babies this spring.

Give nesting wildlife a break this spring Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The OttawaCarleton Wildlife Centre is asking Ottawa residents to have a little patience this spring when dealing with wild animals on their property. According to centre director Donna DuBreuil, between April and June wild mothers are looking for safe spaces to nest until there is enough tree cover to protect their babies from predators. Wild animals such as squirrels, raccoons or skunks will look for attics, chimneys or outdoor staircases to provide shelter for their babies. Residents with this problem, DuBreuil said, should offer the wild mothers a grace period

to wean their babies before taking any animal-proofing measures. “When the mother’s taking them out to eat because they’re weaned, that’s the safest time (to animal-proof),” DuBreuil said. Barricading nesting areas could trap babies in inaccessible areas, where they could die and cause bad smells. A mother could also cause significant property damage trying to get to her babies. DuBreuil encouraged residents with wildlife problems to consult the centre’s website www.wildlifeinfo.ca. She reminded residents that the mother only plans to stay a short time. “It’s a temporary thing.”

PET OF THE WEEK

SPEEDY

LUCY

ID#A139298

ID#A085801

Lucy is a beautiful spayed female lynx point Siamese and Domestic Shorthair tabby mix who is approximately six years old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on March 22, and is looking for a forever family that understands her independent streak! She loves to find sunny, quiet places to rest. Lucy has a delicate and timid personality and would really love an experienced owner who can slowly help her come out of her shell. She gets along best with older teens and adults, and she would rather not be overwhelmed by loud noises, fast movements or a boisterous home.

Speedy is a spayed female Domestic Shorthair cat who is approximately six years old. She was surrendered to the Ottawa Humane Society the day before Christmas Eve, on Dec. 23, 2011. Speedy likes to sleep in bed with her human companions, and she has a very affectionate and friendly disposition. She tolerated the two Chihuahuas she lived with temporarily in her foster home, but she would probably do best in a dog-free home. Speedy needs to stay safe and sound indoors and not be let outdoors to run freely. Stop by the Adoption Centre at 245 West Hunt Club Road weekdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check out the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption or call 613-725-3166 ext 258.

My name is Bailey and I am 4 years old. What can I say; I LOVE my tennis ball! I can spend the entire day fetching that ball. In the summer, I also love to swim. When I go camping, my owner Sylvie always books a water front lot and I spend all day fetching my ball in the water. I also have a doggy pool on the deck in my back yard that I love to play in. I can be found at the dog park on most days!

What may be desired is not necessarily the safest... Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Society has established many rules for our protection. We wouldn’t think of allowing our small children to go outside alone where they are exposed to many dangers, yet many cat owners readily open the door for feline friends to go out unsupervised not knowing if they will return the same day, the next day, or ever. Are you a good neighbour?

Another factor to consider, besides your cat’s safety, is your cat’s effect on the environment and the nuisance he or she might unwittingly create for neighbours. Cat fights are noisy and offensive; unsterilized cats breed indiscriminately; their spraying and feces are pollutants; they get into garbage; ruin gardens; cause car accidents; cause damage to a car’s paint job; spread diseases; kill wildlife; and in some cases, inflict wounds on people and other animals. Is this freedom? Outdoor cats are not free. They fight a daily battle for survival against exposure to the elements, accidents, disease, poison, abuse and fights with other animals, theft or loss. On average an outdoor cat lives approximately

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

three years while the lifespan of a cat that has been kept indoors (and supervised while outdoors) is approximately 15 years. The Ottawa Humane Society recommends that you keep your feline companion on a harness or under supervision when outside. Harness training is a safe way to allow your cat to experience the pleasures of the great outdoors. Have a microchip installed in your animal as a precaution against loss. A microchip implant will provide your pet with identification that lasts a lifetime. Harness training is a safe way to allow your cat to experience the pleasures of the great outdoors. Ensure your cat’s safety. Your feline companion and your neighbours will thank you!

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behindthe-scenes work is taking place, too. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

Taurus, you’re in good spirits this week and it could be because you received some good news that provides you with extra energy. Get tasks done and then have fun.

Libra, pick your battles and recognize that there are certain things that you just can’t change. It may prove frustrating, but that’s the way it is. Scorpio, sometimes the best way to help someone is to leave them to their own devices. This week you’ll adopt this approach, and it will work out for the best.

Gemini, it may be time for a change of scenery, especially if you feel like you need recharging. Browse available travel deals and you can probably find something affordable.

Cancer, accept help when it is offered. Doing so will reduce stress and put you in a better frame of mind. Someone close to you has a proposition.

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 Patience is a virtue, Aries. The best will be in store for you later in the week. There’s not much chance for adventure Monday or Tuesday, but things pick up on Wednesday.

Sagittarius, there is conflict at home, you must help reduce the tension. It may take some time, but use this week to lay the ground work. Capricorn, with so much change in the air, you may want to shout it from the hills. However, it may be wise to keep things hush-hush for a while until it’s all worked out.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Leo, though you often enjoy being the center of attention, there are many times -- like this week -- when you simply thrive being able to recuperate out of the limelight. Virgo, when an opportunity presents itself, jump on it without delay. This could be the break you’re looking for, so don’t pass up the opportunity to get on board.

Aquarius, there’s no time like the present to do a selfanalysis and take the steps to change something that has been on your mind. You’ll have the support of family. Pisces, positive thinking can often help you overcome obstacles, but so can simply taking some action. Expect good news this week.

Great Sex

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let #1 activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President

We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:< Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC<Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

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 90% 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. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA< Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am #39 also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL < Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON <Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON Proof that it really works!

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

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 #23 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 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.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.<Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton #40 Beach, FL < My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When retested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON < I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON <I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my selfesteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN < Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.
