Kars on the Rideau building culture of cohesion Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC community – Walking into Kars on the Rideau Public School off Dorack Drive, the building doesn’t look much different than last June.

The walls are the same; lockers still slam; the old Kars Public School bell still graces the lobby.

But a new sense of community is brewing inside the school, which used to be Rideau Valley Middle School and then welcomed Kars Public School students for a year and a half until last June.

Now all students and staff from both schools are united under the Kars on the Rideau banner, a newly formed JK-8 dual track school. Principal Rick Haggar said he is working hard to bring cohesion to the entire school community.

“Kars Public School and Rideau Valley Middle School served an incredible purpose

for decades, and Kars on the Rideau Public School is going to be who we are for the next five decades,” he said.

“We want to make this something the students will look back and say ‘I was there for that.’”

On Jan. 24, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board voted to merge the two school administrations this September.

Since January 2011, the two schools had been housed under the same roof but with two administrations, two sets of faculties and two school bodies.

Kars Public School students had to leave their school after it was considered too old to repair and had to be torn down.

The province paid for an extension to Rideau Valley Middle School next door so the two schools could join.

Rideau-Goulbourn trustee Lynn Scott said in January that the new addition has better kindergarten space in prepara-

tion for full-day kindergarten next year, as well as access to a larger gym.

It’s more energy efficient, and it is accessible for people with special needs.

And it’s an opportunity to bring the students and community together, Haggar said.

“There are so many unknowns in a new school, and more in two merged schools.

You have to look at each other and say ‘We’re in this together,’” he said.

Administrative systems had to be merged, and two libraries with two very different filing systems had to be interwoven – not just on the shelves, but in the digital inventory, too.

The new school still doesn’t have its own website, and the school name is not yet on the front of the school – but its coming.

“Every day we’re merging something else,” Haggar said, noting that it’s not possible or even wise to do everything at once.

Despite the current political tensions between teachers and the provincial government, moods were light as Haggar visited classroom after classroom on his morning rounds.

He said the teachers have been leaving politics at the door in an effort to help students transition to the new school.

“You have to hang your hat outside the door, and you put on a different hat for your students, colleagues and community,” he said.

Even the students are getting involved in building a new Kars on the Rideau culture.

While the school’s new name was decided by a small committee of parents, teachers, students and community members, the creation of a new mascot and new school colours rests with the student body.

On Tuesday, Sept. 11 Haggar and his staff kicked off the campaign to find a mascot and

new school colours for Kars on the Rideau.

For more than an hour, Haggar talked to the students about what they can do to bring the school together, and had already received some submissions back that morning.

He’s optimistic about the results.

“Even the Grade 1s, there are designs that I’m shaking my head,” he said, noting that students’ colour suggestions are “plentiful and fruitful.”

Submissions will be plastered across the gym’s walls and the winners will have input into the final mascot designs.

The deadline for mascot designs will be Friday, Sept.

21, the same day the school and community will come together for a ribbon cutting ceremony outside the school.

Students will receive colourful T-shirts to wear all day, and will celebrate with a free school barbecue.

Coun. Scott Moffatt kicks off ward-wide town hall meetings Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC news - Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt kicked off his town hall meeting series in the village of Kars on Sept. 12 at the Kars Recreation Centre.

The series of 10 meetings, also billed as a mid-term update for Ward 21 residents, is intended to be the start of a two-way conversation between Moffat and residents.

The meeting at the Kars Recreation Centre attracted 20 some residents who wanted to talk with their councillor, air concerns and find out what the City of Ottawa is up to.

“It was nice for the people to come out and talk about the issues,” said Moffatt.

Moffatt gave a brief overview of what the City of Ottawa is doing and described some of the accomplishments and challenges facing his ward.

He explained what he does in his role as Rideau-Goulbourn councillor. He currently has a seat on the agriculture and rural affairs committee as well as the environment and transportation committees.

He has also signed up for the new built heritage committee, a subcommittee our city council recently formed to replace a citizen advisory group.

Moffatt is the chair of the Pine View Municipal Golf Course board and Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation. He explained how he was also the chair of the Rural Review Steering Committee and a member of the official plan review sponsors group.

Moffatt is not fazed by the size of the area he represents nor is he concerned about his ability to have his voice heard in an urban coun-

He explained that the city had launched a three-year infrastructure program worth $340 million, targeting road, water and sewer projects. Rural areas of the city can expect to have 65 projects completed over the next three years.

ROAD ISSUES

Residents of Kars will see First Line Road paved all the way from Bankfield to the first bridge in the village.

“I would like to go at least to Lockheed Road. They have gone just to the bridge. I would like it to go to the next bridge,” he said to residents who were concerned about the road.

Mike and Laura Rock are long-time residents of the

area. They had concerns about the speeding along First Line Road. The couple said that continued growth in the area and the expansion of the city’s south end was putting pressure on local roads.

“With the expansion of the rural area people should be cautious,” said Mike Rock referring to the increased traffic on First Line Road.

Other residents at the meeting said they did not get the feeling that the speeding was as big an issue as some residents claimed. Still, Moffatt agreed that an ever-expanding city could lead to issues on rural roads. As far as speeding went, he said residents should call the police when they see speeders along the road.

“In order to get proper enforcement, the police need evidence that there are complaints. It is hard for them to monitor the situation when

there are not getting enough complaints,” he said.

“What we can do is some spot surveys on speeding. In my experience the speed surveys have shown that maybe 10 per cent of the people are speeding, and the rest of the people are doing what they are supposed to be doing,” Moffatt said. “It’s really hard to regulate the really bad violators.”

Rideau-Goulbourn resident Mike McGuire felt the city was not thinking clearly when they went about borrowing money. The city has recently borrowed $200 million to look after many of its infrastructure concerns. Defending the logic behind the city having to borrow money, Moffatt said, “The cost of borrowing is very low right now. If we do not do these roads now and wait until 2017 it is going to cost five times as much.”

Included in the evenings presentation was a list of 16 area roads that are slated to be improved over the next three years. The estimated cost is around $70 million.

The traffic congestion at the intersection of Bankfield and Prince of Wales was brought up by residents who felt that particular intersection was becoming increasingly difficult to use. Moffatt agreed and explained that part of the Greenbank Road Environmental Assessment that was going on would extend all the way east to that intersection.

“The scope of that (study) will come all the way down to Bankfield, Prince of Wales and First Line to encompass the area,” he explained. The addition of First Line and the intersection in the study was the result of Moffatt asking city staff to include the area.

Bill Tupper raised the issue of unfinished projects, appar-

ently forgotten by Ottawa.

Back in 2005 the Orange Lodge in Kars, located across from the public school, was donated to Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg.

The building was moved.

In return, the Kars community was expected to come up with a plan to place a memorial on the spot where the historic building stood. To date nothing has been done about the monument.

When told the story about the monument project Moffatt asked community members to send the original plan to him so he could see it because the project was years before his time as an Ottawa councillor.

“In 2006, the Rideau Ward became Rideau-Goulbourn.

Some of the smaller issues had been pushed aside,” said Moffatt. He felt the Orange Lodge project may have been caught up in those times.

Students enjoy hands-on history at Watson’s Mill Pilot project could lead to city-wide education model Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – A class of Grade 4 Manotick Public School students got down and dirty at Watson’s Mill last week, as part of a pilot partnership between the museum and a local school to bring history to life.

The class visited the mill each morning between Sept.

10 and Sept. 14, getting a hands-on learning experience where they could see and touch the history they were learning about, mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said.

“What’s special about it is all of that learning is done at the museum,” Geoffrion said. “It’s really exciting for us because there have been some projects like this across the country and we’re excited that we’re bringing this to Ottawa.” The pilot project has been spearheaded by the Ottawa Museum Network, which brings together 10 community museums across the city including Watson’s Mill.

The project is modeled on successful programs in Calgary and London, Ont., which allow teachers to create custom-made programs to suit their classroom’s specific needs.

While the program touches on many curriculum links, the week-long program offers much more than the two-hour curriculum-based programs currently offered at most community museums in the city,

Geoffrion said.

“Once it’s established with the site, it’s a more meaningful relationship with our schools,” Geoffrion said. “It’s hands-on learning but it addresses the curriculum.”

Watson’s Mill hosted the pilot, which continued this week with another Manotick Public School class, because educational officer Cam Trueman has experience with the model from his time out west.

Manotick Public School principal Andrew Nordman has worked with the model as well.

The pilot, if successful, will be introduced to the rest of the museums in the network likely in the spring, said OMN executive

Staff from Watson’s Mill, the Ottawa Museum Network and Manotick Public School worked together to develop a pilot educational program for museums across the city.

Two classes from the Manotick school spent a week of mornings at the mill getting messy and learning first-hand about the mill’s history. The pilot program will hopefully turn into a city-wide model for museums in the network to have schools develop custom, curriculum-based learning for their students.

Hands-on history

The students certainly seemed to be having a good time on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Peter Hutchinson, 9, said it was likely his “5,589th time at the mill,” but he was still learning a lot. He said he was looking forward to the rest of the week.

“I want to learn how lots of stuff works, and the history of the people,” he said.

Sophia Mestern, 9, said she was particularly interested in what 19th-Century workers were able to do without the help of modern machinery.

“I think it’s really cool what people could do in those days.

They could build really high,” she said.

Outside, local artist and Osgoode Township Museum president Gary Briggs helped students build a clay oven which they later used to bake pizzas made with flour milled on site.

Fiona Nesbit was one of the first to take her shoes and socks off to mix the clay beneath her feet, although she said the cold clay was “like walking on sticky ice.”

Greely man lighting the night for leukemia cure Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A Greely cancer survivor is spearheading this year’s Light the Night walk to find a cure for leukemia and other blood cancers.

Craig Peleshok was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia in September 2008, and four years later he is trying to end the cycle of cancer forever.

While recovering from his third and final round of chemotherapy in January 2009, Peleshok saw a commercial for Montreal’s Light the Night

five-kilometre walk, which is one of many organized across the country by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.

He called the information line to ask when Ottawa’s walk would take place, and discovered the capital didn’t have one.

“For a year I tried to get a walk to Ottawa,” he said. Organizers told him it was too much work, that it was very difficult to start such an event in a big city.

But after much persistence, Peleshok finally succeeded in bringing the event to Ottawa.

In October 2010, Ottawa’s first Light the Night event took place downtown – and was more successful than Peleshok could have dreamed.

“We expected to have 500 walkers and to raise $50,000.

We got 1,500 walkers and raised $250,000,” he said.

In 2011, Peleshok took on the role of corporate walk chairman to attract sponsors and partnerships. That year, more than 3,000 walkers raised $355,000. Peleshok hopes this year’s walk on Saturday, Oct. 13 will attract 4,000 walkers and half a million dollars in fundraising.

And it’s on track: already the walk has twice the amount of teams registered compared to this time last year, and is on its way to raising thousands more dollars for leukemia and lymphoma research than previous years.

The event will begin at the Marion Dewar Plaza outside city hall. Participants will walk to Pretoria Bridge and back (provided there aren’t thousands more people than expected, in which case a back-up route will be used) and the walkers will celebrate with entertainment and communion.

Before the walk, organizers will hold a formal opening ceremony and a bilingual nondenominational service.

“It’s overwhelming when you see all the balloons and things.

The success of the walk has come from family and friends of people with leukemia or who they’ve lost to leukemia,” Peleshok said.

SURVIVAL INSTINCT

Peleshok was 41 when he first experienced symptoms of the leukemia he would spend four months fighting.

At the end of August 2008, he was on vacation with his partner in Lake George. He woke up that Sunday with some blood on his pillow, and figured he had bit his cheek during the night.

The following week, he noticed bruises on the backs of his legs that kept growing and darkening.

By Friday, he was so weak he could hardly help his neighbour move some unwanted items out of his garage.

“It was all I could do to carry little things. I chalked it up to being fat, old and out of shape,” he laughed.

gency ward and he was admitted almost immediately. By Saturday night – and after an enormous needle had been drilled into his hip for a bone marrow sample, the most agonizing pain he had ever felt – Peleshok received the news that he had acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Doctors later told him that if he had waited until his scheduled appointment the following Tuesday, he would have been dead.

While the news was difficult to hear, Peleshok said his doctor saved him when he told him that his treatment and recovery would be determined by his attitude.

Peleshok said he firmly believes that his successful recovery was also influenced by a book he read about three months before his diagnosis, called The Last Lecture.

It was written by a professor dying of cancer, who urged others to make their dreams realities.

“If I hadn’t read that book a month or two before, I’d be dead,” he said.

Peleshok celebrated his recovery later in 2009 when he married his second wife, and he now has a young toddler at home.

He said his experience has led him to help others beat the disease as well.

“I’ve been given this disease for some reason and I’d like to give back,” he said.

Fifteen city hall advisory groups slashed to five Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - City council has approved slashing the number of citizen advisory groups at city hall from 15 to five.

The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee (OBHAC) from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead.

The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually.

When the matter was discussed by a joint finance and governance committee on Aug, 30, Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mercy killing.”

The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, and killing them is the final stage, Brocklebank said.

“Put advisory committees out of their misery,” he said.

Creating a heritage subcommittee that includes more city councillors than citizen experts is a move that has come under fire from heritage advocates.

The deputy city clerk, Lesley Donnelly, says the city has had continuous issues recruiting good members for the built heritage advisory committee, so lowering the number of members and elevating it to a subcommittee should help attract the kind of candidates the city is looking for, Donnelly told councillors.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wasn’t convinced.

“My sense is that we’ve done a little bit too much streamlining and it’s gone too far. Heritage… is one area in particular that’s gone too far,” he said during the Sept. 12 council meeting.

Donnelly said council members who sit on that committee will become “heritage advocates” for heritage issues when they come to committee and city council.

The heritage subcommittee

will include councillors Peter Clark (whose Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward includes two heritage conservation districts), Katherine Hobbs, (a member of the planning committee and councillor for Kitchissippi Ward), Scott Moffatt (the rural representative, from Rideau-Goulbourn Ward) and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder (Barrhaven) in addition to three members of the public.

Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established, a city report states.

Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians, and other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful, according to a report from the city clerk’s office. A broader report about citizen engagement is expected be discussed by city committees in December.

Walk of Care to support ROSSS programs emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Rural Ottawa South Support Services is calling on residents to get active and support the seniors and adults with disabilities in their communities.

Staff and volunteers will host a five-kilometre Walk of Care along the Osgoode multi-use pathway on Saturday, Sept. 22 to raise funds and awareness for the centre’s programming, which ranges from meals on wheels and home care to social outings and activities. In April, the organization entered a funding agreement with Para Transpo and took on all of its rural-torural trips.

Organizer Terry Watson said ROSSS has recently expanded to include all of rural Ottawa south – from Metcalfe all the way to Ashton – and it needs to maintain its programming for all the new clients.

“Our funding is provided by the provincial government, the (local health integration network) and the municipal government, but we are responsible for raising a portion of funds ourselves,” Watson added. She hopes many families will come out “in order to help support their parents, their grandparents, even in memory of them,” Watson said.

The walk will start and finish in the Osgoode Youth Association parking lot on Osgoode Main Street. Participants will walk 2.5 kilometres northeast towards Snake Island Road, and then come back for a community barbeque and a live show from Junkyard Symphony.

“We’re hoping it will get people out because it’s an ac-

tive activity that families can do as well as adults,” she said.

With a minimum pledge of $20, participants are welcome to collect more sponsors or to simply donate to themselves.

She said ideally the event would raise $10,000, but she is realistic for the event’s first year. “This is our first walk and we know we have to grow, so we just appreciate anyone coming our and supporting our clients,” she said.

Registration begins at the start line at 9 a.m. and a prewalk warm up will begin at 9:30 a.m. The walk will begin around 10 a.m. and Junkyard Symphony will get started just as everyone gets back around 11:30 a.m.

The entertainment was subsidized by MASC, Multicultural Arts for Schools and Communities.

EMC news – Overbrook artist Rosalie Favell has been honoured with the 2012 Karsh Award for her works representing indigenous society.

The $7,500 prize is awarded every two years by the city to recognize significant contribution to photographic practice in Ottawa, throughout Canada and internationally.

It is named in honour of Yousuf and Malak Karsh, Ottawa brothers and photographers who were internationally renowned for their work in the mid 1900s.

Favell accepted her award from Mayor Jim Watson at the Karsh-Masson Gallery in Lowertown, surrounded by her portraits of fellow artists and aboriginal people who inspired her.

Keep Terry Fox’s dream alive

I

f you look up the word “hope” in the dictionary, you’ll probably find a photograph of Terry Fox. Or at least you should.

Terry Fox was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his leg amputated above the knee – an age when most of us are starting our lives: going to university, beginning a career, falling in love for the first time.

He died at the age of 22.

In those four short years, Fox managed to inspire generations of Canadian citizens.

He made us learn to hope in the face of an awful disease that has touched all our lives.

He taught us to fight back no matter what the odds.

When Fox learned he had cancer he decided to run a Marathon of Hope across Canada.

His goal was to raise enough money to discover a cure for cancer.

Starting in April 1980, Fox

started his run by dipping his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean in St John’s, NL. He ran 42 kilometres a day, the equivalent of a full marathon.

On Sept. 1, 1980, after running for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont..

The cancer had spread to his lungs.

On June 28, 1981, Fox died.

But his memory lives on in

the hearts and minds of generations of Canadians, who continue his battle every year by holding Terry Fox Runs across the country.

The runs have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and funded numerous advancements in cancer research, saving countless lives.

But a cure is yet to be found.

This year, Fox’s brother, Fred Fox, visited the campus of Carleton University, urging the

students to keep Terry’s dream alive.

Carleton is one of eight Canadian universities to join Terry’s College and University Student Engagement (CAUSE).

The colleges and universities have committed to holding a major campus event that includes runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation.

Most communities across Canada planned to hold their annual runs on Sunday, Sept.

16, including an Ottawa run at Carleton University.

Kanata and Stittsville were scheduled to hold their annual

Terry Fox Run that day as well, an event that usually attracts hundred of west-end runners.

The Kanata/Stittsville run has raised $550,000 since it first started in 1989.

Last year, Constance Bay held its first Terry Fox Run, attracting 75 participants and raising more than $4,400 for cancer research.

Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s John Bell said that while great strides have been made in cancer research over the past 30 years, there is still much more to be done.

We must continue to keep Terry’s dream alive – one step at a time.

COLUMN

You too can be a Waste Explorer CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

f you don’t automatically throw out everything that shows up in your mailbox, you will have seen the document that announces a major change in your life.

As of the end of next month your garbage is only going to be picked up every two weeks. Although there was considerable debate about this at city hall, the circular in your mailbox reflects that hardly at all.

“Important changes are coming,” it begins, but all it contains by way of explanation is a cryptic little note at the bottom: “Think about it …,” it says. “It all has to go somewhere.”

This is true, probably, as is: “It all has to go sometime,” which is the issue at hand.

So what are we to make of it, the fact that we go from garbage pickup every week to garbage pickup every other?

The most dramatic interpretation is that Ottawa has become a Third World city. In many parts of the world, garbage pickup every week can only be dreamed about, the key to improved sanitation and public health. Yet here is Ottawa, going the other way.

To support this interpretation we can look at many other areas in which Canada, through the culture of cutback, has descended from previous heights.

If, on the other hand, you are the kind of person who sees the glass as half full, you will have a completely different take. Less frequent garbage pickup means that garbage needs to be picked up less frequently, which means that there is less of it.

This encouraging theory might be difficult to prove empirically, but the anecdotal evidence is there. You know it when you look down your

street on garbage night and notice that some people are putting out no garbage cans at all. None.

Everything they need to throw out is on one of the recycling containers, black, blue and green.

We salute them, although we do wonder what they do with all that plastic packaging. Maybe they don’t buy anything wrapped in plastic.

There’s a challenge.

Is it possible that we have been so well-educated in the philosophy of recycling that we don’t need to put anything at all in the garbage can? Have we bought in so completely to the recycling message that we have made garbage obsolete?

If so, it may be because recycling has been made so easy for us. We don’t need to buy the recycling boxes; they are delivered to our doors.

Filling them is no problem, nor is sorting them.

Neither effort nor thought is required.

It is too bad that no one one has thought of ways to make it easy for us to be as virtuous in other areas. We could use some help cleaning up after our pets, giving more support to charities and merging from three lanes into two on the Queensway.

Meanwhile, we don’t know whether to be comforted or not by the notion that it all has to go somewhere. The city’s website page on recycling provides something called a Waste Explorer – maybe not the most attractive concept when you think about it, but a handy way to tackle those difficult which-box-is-which questions.

For example, the Waste Explorer will tell you that alfalfa sprouts go in the green bin, that artificial plants go in the regular garbage, as do bicycle tires, as do rubber wine corks; wooden orange crates go in the regular garbage, but wood chips go in the green bin; some items, such as beer kegs are identified as having “multiple options” but when you click on that you are told that multiple options means take them back to the beer store.

A few paragraphs ago we thought that recycling was simple. Now we’re not so sure. At least we only have to think about the garbage every other week, when we put out our wooden orange crates.

A) Yes. I’ll be wary of Ottawa’s roads and bridges from now on.

38%

B) Invest $6.3 million in upgrades as suggested by city staff. There’s no need to move the 120 Metcalfe St. facility.

B) No. This was an isolated incident, not necessarily a sign of bigger problems.

0%

C) Do nothing. The Main Library branch doesn’t need upgrades or a new site.

C) Perhaps. If the city fails to take appropriate action, I’ll be very worried.

50%

D) I think I’ve got a better chance of being struck by lightning than I do of falling in a sinkhole.

Casino downtown

a losing move Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013.

Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.

OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%

The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers.

By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011.

The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.

fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.

Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa.

Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,

These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces.

In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.

From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos

The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments.

First Heel and Wheel event a rainy success Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC news - Despite the bad weather, strong winds and steady rain, the first ever Heel and Wheel event for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital thrilled organizers with a great turnout and more than $70,118 raised.

The entire amount of money raised by the 25-kilometre hike or ride goes directly back to the hospital.

Twelve teams took part in the event. The only compromise organizers made as a result of the inclement weather was to shift their end-of-event party from an area on the hospital grounds to the Winchester Lions Club Clubhouse a few blocks away. That was where all the action was as runners and cyclists finished off their day-long efforts and enjoyed a fun party, great music by the band Conspiracy and food.

“We have been getting great feedback,” said event organizer Christina Enright.

Enright explained the success of the day was due to the small army of volunteers that made the event happen. She said the communities in the area that hosted the four main starting points for the fundraiser had helped tremendously.

“All of the communities opened up their doors,” she said. Organizers had been

“We worried about it to a certain extent,” said Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation Chair Arnold Scheerder. “You cannot plan for the weather.”

The participants for the Heel and Wheel joined up from four main starting points in Osgood, Finch, Russell and South Mountain villages.

One team, called Little

Miss Diva, made up of Sue Cloutier, four-year old Addison Yorke and Lynn Anderson, all from Morewood, cycled all the way through the bad weather to get to Winchester by around 4 p.m.

“We had a ride and a half,” said Cloutier as the group came to the end of their day.

“The wind was a killer but we will do it again,” she said.

Daad Elsaadi and Claudette MacMillan belong to different teams but shared the same experience. “We walked the 25 kilometres,” said Elsaadi.

Elsaadi, a cook, said she became involved after donating dinners to the hospital, and then realized she wanted to do more.“I am on my feet all of the time,” she said.

Both women were dedicated to their hospital. “Coming from another country,” said Elsaadi.

She explained how fortu-

nate Canadians were to have such a great hospital in their community, and that “everyone should be supporting their hospital.”

Elsaadi said she felt that walking for her hospital was the least that she could do to help.Troy Cross, the executive director of the WDMH Foundation, said the idea for the fundraiser came from a desire to get people active on the same roads they used ev-

ery day.

There were 100 participants, including 14 children, on 12 different teams. The youngest walker, four-yearold Syvanna Dow, raised $342. The top producing team was the Walking Wounded, which came up with $6,705.

Daad Elsaadi raised $1,861.

“This is an absolutely fantastic start to an event that I know has many more years to come,” Scheerder said.

Was Anna really lazy?

I

f you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name.

One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna.

She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding.

Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake.

All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!”

I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often.

Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days.

ANADAMA BREAD

2/3 cup water 2 tbsp. cornmeal 1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. molasses

1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. bread machine yeast Measure the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given. Start it, using either the Delay or Regular cycle.

When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing.

This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for 2 to 4 people.

City offers tax help for farmers Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - In an effort to help drought-stricken farmers, city council has extended property tax deadlines until next spring.

The extension applies to farmers who participate in the city’s Farm Grant Program and allows farmers to pay their taxes by April 25, 2013 instead of December 6, 2012.

The interim property tax due date has also been extended to April 25, 2013.

Farm Grant Program participants will also get a grant to cover any penalties and fees they would have been hit with starting at the original tax due date.

Mayor Jim Watson told city council that he was very pleased the city has found a way to assist farmers who are facing “extraordinary circumstances.”

Between 500 and 800 of the city’s 4,000 eligible farm properties usually participate in the Farm Grant Program each year, at a cost of around

$30,000 for the city to administer.

In order to be eligible, the land must be classified as farmland by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and it must not be owned by a commercial enterprise.

The motion approved by city council on Sept. 12 also indicated that the city will look at reducing rent for local city-run farmers’ markets and the possibility of providing water to farms where wells have run dry.

Stolen cow found safe and sound in Russell Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Daisy is safe at home from a harrowing adventure after she was kidnapped from the Russell Fair last week.

The 68-kilogram fibreglass cow is an expensive and integral part of an Osgoode dairy farmer’s travelling farm exhibit that makes the rounds to the Ottawa Valley’s many fall fairs to teach kids about how food is made.

But Daisy was stolen the evening of Thursday, Sept. 6, the first night of the Russell Fair, and owner Jeff Robinson thought the $7,500 bovine was gone forever.

Still, he offered a $500 reward for her safe return, and in the early hours of Wednesday, Sept. 12 someone playing a GPS game spotted the metre-high cow outside Russell village.

“It was found just outside Russell on a main intersection clearly visible for all to see,” Robinson said. “The cow was well taken care of, as there seems to be no damage.”

The rescuer would not take the $500 reward, so Robinson said the money will instead be donated to the annual Farmer’s Food Aid Day that purchases cattle for the Ottawa

SUBMITTED

Daisy the fibreglass educational cow was found safe and sound early Wednesday morning.

Food Bank.

The cow, a miniature replica of a real cow standing slightly more than a metre tall, can be milked into a pail. Robinson bought the educational tool two years ago to add to his travelling farm exhibit, which he began about 10 years ago.

While Robinson runs Tile Croft Farms, a dairy farm in Osgoode, his exhibit covers many types of farming.

It serves to teach children where their food comes from, but sometimes the parents have questions, too, he said.

A number of his farm’s suppliers as well as farming or-

ganizations have contributed financially to his exhibit over the years and he said those stakeholders also indirectly own the cow.

Daisy is scheduled to appear at the Richmond Fair this weekend, the Carp Fair from Sept. 20 to 23 and the Metcalfe Fair, taking place from Sept. 27 to 30.

Robinson suspected Daisy was taken by teenagers or students looking for a laugh, and said he thinks local media coverage of the theft prompted them to return it.

“A happy ending to a sad story,” Robinson said.

Prayers get family through Dirty Thirties Every child should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Established in 1988, the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa (CAFO) gives children a chance to reach their full potential. Providing education and enrichment opportunities, the Foundation is committed to improving the lives of abused and neglected children and young adults in the care of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “…I am so grateful that I have had the support of the Dare to Dream bursary. I would like to thank all of the donors and let them know what a great difference they have made in my educational journey.”

In 2011, the Foundation disbursed over $220,000 to help children in need, $90,000 of which provided 46 young adults assistance with postsecondary education costs. Funds raised through the generosity of donors and community partners go a long way to help improve child welfare in Ottawa. Year after year, these thoughtful donations are what make the Children’s Aid Foundation’s mission a reality.

EMC lifestyle - We learned to pray at a very early age.

Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much.

Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things, we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the west hill under which the cows were seeking refuse in a storm was another question he asked.

So other than grace at the table at meal time, father pretty well left the praying up to mother.

Although mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her rosary beads.

But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was how often, and how fervently you did so.

And so every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”.

That was because we all had to scrunch down around mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and it was hardly big enough to hold all of us.

I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on mother’s knee, but Emerson usually beat me to it.

Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes closed and our hands in steeples, and then she would begin.

Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word.

And I wondered back then if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again.

When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything such as rain, good crops, a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door-to-door in Renfrew.

And mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who mother thought was a saint!

They were all part of our nightly prayers.

And then of course we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over.

That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School.

Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves.

I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers.

And so began a lifetime of silent praying.

Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers, I thought back then.

In fact his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United church a stone’s throw away.

And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth.

I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other.

To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ramrod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet.’

It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday with my own thoughts.

And then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life.

I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start.

I was praying for things that I had seen in the five and dime store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country.

When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for.

We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School.

Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the Bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her.

One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote...there were the graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer.

I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, it was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, that were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

Fast, medium or slow, there are classes for older adults on the go Whether you are an older adult who likes to keep moving, who likes to take it easy, or something in between, there is an activity waiting for you at a City of Ottawa recreation facility. It’s no secret that Ottawa’s population is growing older; however, the variety of programming available to older adults may be the best kept secret of all.

Stepping over the edge to help kids in need Third Drop Zone to take place in Ottawa Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa residents are preparing to drop themselves off an 18-storey building to help raise money for children with disabilities.

The third annual Easter Seals Drop Zone Ottawa will take place on Sept. 24 at the National Hotel and Suites Ottawa on Queen Street. On the day 108 participants will drop off the side of the18-storey hotel and rappel to safety in support of the Ontario children and youth with physical disabilities.

“I will be pushing my limits as far as a fear factor, but you look at the kids and really, this event is appropriate because they push themselves everyday,” said participant Angela Havey.

Havey heard about the fundraising event through her company Century 21 in the spring. She said she leapt at

the chance to participate.

“I thought this was a challenge I was willing to try to help fundraise,” Havey said.

Havey and her team came out to a training session on Sept. 13 at the Coyote Rock Climbing Gym to learn the ropes.

Propelling herself off a three metre rock climbing wall, Havey said may be nothing like the building, but still, she found herself afraid to give it a try.

“Leaning back is the scariest part,” she said. “But once you trust the rope will hold you, it becomes a lot easier.”

Havey was not alone in feeling the fear at the training session. Twenty people came out to the session, all having to drop off the side of the rock wall at least twice.

Others couldn’t wait to go again and again.

“It is really fun,” said Don Gompf. “It was my first time, but I was pretty easy.”

All of the participants who will be rappelling off the building had to raise a minimum of $1,500.

One group, the Amway Ottawa Yager group, has raised more than $6,000 for the cause.

The Easter Seals Drop Zone Ottawa is presented

by Morguard. All the money raised will support children with physical disabilities by providing financial assistance for mobility equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, braces, communication devices and a fully accessible summer camp. Ottawa is one of eight provinces participating this year. In 2011, across Canada, the event raised over $1 million for the organization.

Since the fundraiser began in 2005, more than 3,700 people have participated in the event and has raised more than $5.79 million for Canadians with disabilities.

The fundraising goal for the capital region is $150,000.

For more information about the event or to donate, please go to the Drop Zone website at www.dropzone.ca. For more information about the Easter Seals, please go to at www. easterseals.org.

Yoga marathon to help raise money for celiac association Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A local celiac association will hold its first activity-driven fundraiser in the Glebe to help raise awareness and money for the charity.

The Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association announced it will hold a Yogathon for Celiac Disease at Ottawa’s Fred Astaire Dance Studio, 149 Second Ave. on Sept. 22.

Vice president of the Ot-

tawa chapter, Mark Johnson, said connecting a healthy activity to a disease to promote fundraising and awareness made sense.

“It is a healthy activity, being tied to the celiac association; it made sense to connect healthy activities to a healthy cause,” he said.

The event, Johnson added, is aiming to have at least 100 people participate throughout the day. There will be a variety of yoga styles, including hatha, yin and ashtanga during

the marathon yoga session.

Participants will also have the chance to win door prizes.

One of the goals of the fundraiser is to better educate people about celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity.

Celiac disease affects one per cent of Canadians and it is estimated six per cent of Canadians are gluten-sensitive.

Gluten refers to the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, triticale and oats.

Those diagnosed must steer clear of any food with any

amount of gluten because it makes the body unable to absorb nutrients, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates.

The ingestion of gluten can cause nutritional deficiencies, blistering skin rash and an increased risk of other autoimmune diseases, such as Type 1 diabetes. There is no cure for celiac disease, but is treatable by following a strict diet.

“Three million Canadians suffer from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and this fundraiser will help ensure there is safe labeling for gluten-free food,” Johnson said.

Gluten-free food in grocery stores has come a long way, Johnson added, with the asso-

ciation working with Health Canada since 1994 to ensure food marked gluten-free are properly labeled.

Some of the progress with safe-labeling, Johnson said includes a pilot project in Prince Edward Island to provide information and education for food servers in retirement homes and the development of courses for food service workers on how gluten-free food should be prepared safely and without contamination.

Johnson said he hopes events like this fundraiser will help raise awareness of the disease and help fund some of the organization’s charity activities to help

educate people.

The organization is not new to fundraising.

Each month at the Riverside churches of Ottawa, members have the opportunity to gather for potlucks, nutritional meetings and speaker series. Johnson, diagnosed with celiac disease himself, encourages all newly diagnosed individuals to join and attend information sessions held at the church.

Participants are encouraged to pre-register at www.celiac. ottawa.on.ca. The yoga-thon will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22. Donations of $15 for the first hour of yoga, and $10 for each subsequent hour are requested.

Ottawa students win Duke of Edinburgh awards Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Youths from across Canada came to Ottawa for a Sept. 12 presentation

by Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award for Young Canadians were presented to young people at the Ottawa Convention Centre.

Several Ottawa students made the list of 130 who had completed the requirements for their gold level certificate.

To receive the gold level Duke of Edinburgh Award, students must complete a minimum of 60 hours of community service over 12 months, a three-night camping trip, a skill development program and 50 hours of physical activity over 25 weeks.

It was a chance for Prince Edward to return to Ottawa, the place the first Duke of Edinburgh Awards were given out in Canada 50 years ago.

Peter Melanson, national president of the Duke of Edinburgh award, was alongside the prince.

“Today is a day for a great many celebrations,” he said.

Governor General David Johnston, addressed the audience by pre-recorded video.

“Today we share your pride

and celebrate your success,” said Johnston. “I encourage you to stay involved beyond today.”

Prince Andrew went through the 130 youths group by group, addressing them and their families following the presentation of certificates.

“I’m always surprised by the number of you that do this independently,” he said to the audience.

“Today we share your pride and celebrate your success ... “I encourage you to stay involved beyond today.”

GOVERNOR GENERAL DAVID JOHNSTON

A large number of participants take part through their secondary schools or through Scouts Canada. “I’m also particularly pleased that many of you have experience overseas.”

From Ottawa centre, Erin Chapman, Kevin Ianson, Daniel Morrow, Jessica Silva received awards. Kanata’s Zahra Chamma received the award, as did Stittsville’s Alexandra Vincent. Nepean had five recipients: Gage Emond, Emily Featherstone, Andrew

Hickman, Megan Lunau and Rodney Newcombe.

Silva spoke to the entire audience, representing all the award winners.

“I cannot express how meaningful it is for me to be recognized by a member of the Royal Family,” said Silva, who was inspired to complete the gold level while living for two months in Zambia.

Elmwood School graduates Alex Vincent, from Stittsville, Erin Chapman, from Rockcliffe Park and Nepean’s Emily Featherstone were all present at the ceremony.

Vincent is now studying mechanical engineering at Carleton University. She said she enjoyed the opportunity to take part in the awards process because she was able to help the younger students at Elmwood achieve their bronze and silver levels of the award.

For Featherstone, it opened doors as she tried rowing. Now attending Queen’s University for biology, she made the junior varsity rowing team – something that wouldn’t have happened before the award program. “You at least will know how to seize these opportunities and overcome those challenges,” said Prince Edward.

Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK BeeBee

OReO

ID#A143073 Beebee is a spayed female, brown tabby Domestic Shorthair cat who is about seven years old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 5 and is now available for adoption.

Beebee loves to curl up in the sunshine and watch the world go by. She has a quiet personality and gets along well with pretty much anyone. She is past her feisty kitten years and would rather not live in a busy and bustling home.

Beebee needs a quiet loving home where she can enjoy her adult and retirement years receiving love and attention curled up on your lap.

ID#A142675 This unaltered female, black and white Syrian Hamster is about 10 months old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on August 21. She is one of many hamsters and other small animals currently available for adoption.

She would love a wheel in her cage for exercise, and an extra-special treat would be a hamster ball to explore your home outside the cage,under supervision,of course!

For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www. ottawahumane.ca.

Is your cat’s scratchIng habIt leavIng you scratchIng your head?

You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post.

Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height.

Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near

an inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post.

If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip.

Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up.

Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post.

Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and

make her less likely to use the post.

Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores.

If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s finger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning.

While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a final option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour.

However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her

Milo My favorite things to do are taking long walks in the grass, eat and than store some of my kibble in my cheeks (to eat later in bed!), chase anything that catches my attention, ah and sleeping under the covers!! And sshhhhh, don’t tell anyone, but I secretly LOVE when my parents dress me in clothes! My scarf completes me! I just love life and cannot get nearly enough cuddles. But I think I’m most happiest when I have my head hanging out the car window!!

home. If you decide that it is absolutely necessary to have your cat declawed, only have the front paws done, so that the cat can still scratch an itch, climb and defend herself.

If this is your decision, consult your veterinarian first and discuss having the surgery done at the same time your cat is spayed or neutered.

Other tips If you catch your cat in the act, try making a loud noise (for example, use a whistle, shake a soda can filled with pebbles or pennies, or slap a wall or a table) or use a water-filled squirt bottle. Conversely, when your cat claws the scratching post instead of your couch, make sure you give your cat extra praise and affection.

One reason cats scratch is to remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Regularly trimming your cat’s nails can help reduce scratching. You should clip off the sharp tips of your cat’s claws on his front feet every two weeks or so.

More companion animal information is available at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Scratching is normal cat behaviour, not a comment on your upholstery. Cats scratch in order to: remove the dead outer layer of their claws; rub their scent onto things to mark their territory; stretch; work off energy; and even to seek your attention when they want something.

There are lots of ways to keep your feline friend from ruining the furniture.

Taurus, you may feel rushed by outside pressures, but it really is up to you to set your own pace. Everything will get done if you just relax.

Those closest to you need a little space and respect, Gemini. Just give them what they need and all will go smoothly. Wednesday could be a trying day.

Cancer, you may need to act quickly before things start moving in the wrong direction. You have to take control and make sure things are on the right course.

Leo, you can have fun doing just about anything this week.

You have lots of energy, so maybe something physical will fit the bill. Grab a crowd and go to it.

Virgo, things have not been going your way, but that is no reason to be disappointed. You will soon find a way to bounce back and get back on track.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, your goals are easily achieved this week. All you really need to do is set your mind to them and everything will fall into place along the way.

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!

Libra, this week you have the uncanny ability to impress people in one-on-one conversation. Start by focusing all of your energy on one particular relationship.

Scorpio, it’s time to assess your health and make a few changes for the better. It’s within reason to change your diet and exercise more often. It will be to your advantage.

Sagittarius, you will find you’re incredibly efficient this week, both at home and at work. If you have time left over, you may want to help a coworker or family member.

Capricorn, both work and family issues are on your mind, but you can only tackle one set of concerns at a time. Figure out which one is a priority and set your wheels in motion.

Aquarius, you are likely to feel amazing this week, so much so that you actually do a double-take in the mirror to make sure it’s you looking back. Savor every moment.

Pisces, you may have some trouble figuring out what is real and what’s a facade this week. Others can provide backup if you need it.
