Seniors invited to discuss rural transit options

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Upcoming meetings in Manotick, West Carleton, and Vars will bring seniors and service providers together to talk about rural transportation options.

The Council on Aging Ottawa has teamed up with OC and Para Transpo, community support service

agencies and the Seniors Transportation Committee to offer a breakdown of transportation services available for rural seniors in Ottawa.

“I hope the seniors can come to understand who does what, where they can get the service and what it will do for them,” said Margaret Dunn, one of the organizers and a member of the

city’s Seniors Round Table.

The information sessions will discuss access to Para Transpo services in the rural area, as well as the community support services that now fill in the gaps left by a Para Transpo policy change in 2012.

Since that time, Para Transpo no longer provides service between two rural destinations, only trips from

a rural address to an urban address and back.

Three provincially-funded community agencies have picked up the slack to provide largely volunteerrun transit for seniors and people with disabilities, with $506,000 in annual city funding to cover the increased demand.

ROSSS, other non-profits now provide only rural transit service Learning about service providers is important: advocate Continued from the front

The agencies, Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC), Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre (EORC), will be on hand at

the meetings to explain their services as well.

The presentations will also cover OC Transpo’s shopping bus services and its travel training program to help seniors use transit safely.

Guests are invited to the Galetta Community Centre in West Carleton on Friday, April 24 between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. (or 11:30 a.m. if you want to register for a free lunch).

A meeting for southern

residents will take place May 1 at the Manotick arena between 12:45 and 2:15 p.m.

The east-end meeting will be held at the Bearbrook Community Centre in Vars on May 5 between noon and 2 p.m.

COMPLEX SYSTEM

While Dunn said no two seniors are ever going to require the same combination of services, just knowing

what’s out there is a good idea. “If you can take the time to get to know who those agencies are and what they can do for you, it’s an insurance for yourself,� she said.

A person’s health or living situation can change so quickly, she added. “It’s not the kind of thing to do when faced with a sudden emergency. It’s about making arrangements to enjoy the best possible quality of life in one’s rural home.�

Take Dunn, for example.

When she had cataract surgery, she couldn’t drive and had to ďŹ nd another way home to Carp.

She booked her Para Transpo trip weeks in advance, she said, and made use of the service’s discounted taxi coupon books.

She also asked her medical clinic to book all of her follow-up appointments on Wednesdays, so she could make use of the shopper bus that heads into Stittsville from Carp once a week.

That’s one way to take ad-

vantage of transit, Dunn said, but for a senior with mobility issues who is limited to using only Para Transpo or an accessible taxi, the system is by no means perfect.

For one thing, the nonproďŹ t agencies can’t afford to operate outside of regular banking hours, which means some rural seniors are stuck at home in the evenings and on weekends.

And a trip on Para Transpo costs $17.20 round trip – and counting. That’s a problem if you want to encourage seniors to live at home longer, she said. “The worst thing that can happen is someone says, ‘I can’t afford it,’ so they stop going to the doctor, they stop going out,� Dunn said.

But Pat Scrimgeour, assistant manager for OC Transpo systems planning, said fares have become more equitable since the city’s policy change in 2012.

Leading up to that, seniors’ advocates had pushed for a at fare to get rid of the confusing fare zones that

could cost a rider up to $20 one way depending on their destination.

While today someone going from Manotick to Barrhaven might be miffed by the high cost, many others who can now get from the outskirts into downtown for less than $20 are saving money, Scrimgeour said.

As for seniors abandoned on evenings and weekends, Scrimgeour said in 2011 there were 48 weekend trips commissioned the entire year, and only 19 evening trips. “These rural to rural trips were quite likely made by a single digit number of people,� Scrimgeour said.

The money saved by farming out rural-to-rural trips – which was costing the city up to $300 each time – means “more people are travelling for the same number of dollars.�

JOSEPH MORIN/METROLAND

Brian Dryden, left, has inherited the Manotick News from Emma Jackson, who will move on to the city hall beat downtown.

I needed to know, so I didn’t stop.

When I retraced my steps I couldn’t find the bird, so I figured it had crawled into the ditch to die in peace. But I knew I was in for a bit of a mess when a colleague came in asking about a car with “a bird in its grill.”

You can see how it could have been a disastrous job for a city girl like me.

After a while I stopped wearing heels to barn fires, but what saved me, of course, was all of you: you, who have welcomed me into your meetings, your events and your homes to help me tell your stories.

You, who have offered up tea and cookies, but also your opinions, your fears and your personal victories. You, who have toiled tirelessly to serve your community and make it the best place to live in Ottawa.

Thank you for the honour of helping you mark milestones, overcome tragedies and fight the good fight for a cause you believe in. And thank you for teaching me about the good life beyond the suburbs, where neighbours look out for each other and no victory is too small for a celebratory pint at the pub.

As I move to the city hall beat, I won’t forget the rural residents who are clamouring to have a voice downtown. As long as you promise not to forget me, either.

New scribe on the beat Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

If you are sitting down and reading through the pages of this newspaper right now, then you are probably a lot like me and you love the feel of a newspaper in your hands.

But, as this is 2015, you may be reading this online.

Don’t worry, if that is the case, I won’t hold that against you.

We are in the multi-platform media universe these days, and I get my news fix any way I can get it, be that in actual newsprint form or online, too.

Mick Jagger once sang, and still does, “please allow me to introduce myself.”

I figure if those words were good enough for Mick, then they are good enough for me.

So, if you will allow me, I’m Brian Dryden, the new scribe on the beat for Metroland’s Manotick News.

I’m new to the Manotick News beat, but I am not new to the newspaper business.

I am what you can call a newspaper lifer.

I have worked in newsrooms since the late-1980s

when I started in the community press in my hometown of Montreal after learning the trade in Concordia University’s Journalism program.

Since then, the newspaper business has allowed me and my family to see the country, with exciting and interesting assignments as a reporter and editor in Kamloops and Victoria, B.C., Thunder Bay, Ottawa and Cornwall.

Congratulations! After four years covering Manotick, you’ve nearly turned this city girl into a local.

My folks in Oshawa can’t understand when I’ve lost my “cur keys” or when I head out to the “backyeard” for some air.

I know more than I need to about the inner workings of a septic system, and my nephew is impressed by my now-encyclopedic knowledge of large farm equipment.

It wasn’t always like this; growing up, I never showed a calf at the local fair, I wasn’t bused to school and I sure didn’t grow up hunting, although I could tell you a few fishing stories.

That kind of rural inexperience is a liability in this neck of the woods, and over the past four years you’ve been kind enough to hide your laughter when I inevitably made a fool of myself.

There was that time in 2011 I stopped for gas at Raymond’s in Osgoode and then promptly backed over the cliff – you know the one, but I bet you’ve never driven over it.

With my two back tires hanging over Main Street, it didn’t take long for four chivalrous young men in various shades of camo to show up in their pick-ups and pull this distressed damsel back from the brink. It was hardly my finest moment, but my saviours didn’t laugh – not to my face, anyway – and for that I am grateful.

City girls can also cause problems when they pull off the road for dubious reasons; usually because I simply HAD to snap a photo of that pretty snow-covered barn, that luscious green cornfield or those highly relatable and wellheeled alpacas (you can almost hear them catcalling: “Mmm hmm, work it, girl!”).

Hard to explain to the person asking about my car trouble.

And then there’s the time I was running late to a Doug Thompson photo op and a partridge decided to play chicken on Grey’s Creek Road. The spray of feathers over my windshield told me everything

Sky is the limit at central library consultation Laundromat, bike check-out among blue-sky ideas for a new main branch Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Would you like a latte with your latest spy novel? How about throwing in some laundry while you check your emails?

All this and more was on the table at a packed public meeting to see what residents want in a re-imagined central library on March 31.

Nearly 200 people flocked to city hall for the consultation, and another 500 tuned in online. They watched a presentation highlighting some of the best features of modern

libraries across Canada and the world before breaking out into brainstorm sessions with library staff.

Ideas from the blue-sky session ranged from 3D printer access to a bike check-out program. Someone suggested adding a laundromat – that got a lot of laughs – but library board chairman Tim Tierney said it’s all on the table at this point.

“As much as we love books and Dewey decimal systems, there is a heck of a lot more (to libraries) than that,” he said.

Creating a teen zone was a common suggestion at the meeting, he said, and the importance of open gathering spaces came up again and again. Having natural light, places to plug in your electronics, and offering a comfortable place to access information are all key elements.

“Twenty years ago, it was all about ‘shhh, quiet,’” he said. “Well, that’s not what libraries are about anymore.

Vancouver has a pizza joint in their library. We want to look at all opportunities.”

As much as we love books and Dewey decimal systems, there is a heck of a lot more (to libraries) than that.

Coun. Tim Tierney

The point of the consultation, Tierney said, was to define what exactly Ottawa residents expect to see inside their central library: do they want to keep the cramped 40-year-old “bunker” on Metcalfe Street, or do they want a re-imagined community hub that’s accessible to all and offers more than just a holding place for dusty

books?

That’s more like it, said Tierney, who worked the room listening to comments from residents – feedback that overwhelmingly supported scrapping the current location, which offers little natural light, poor cell phone and WiFi reception and very little in the way of community space.

The feedback will help library staff present their business case for a re-imagined central library this June, when the city will officially decide whether or not to move forward on the project.

At that point, staff will begin to work out the details of where such a hub might be located. While the March 31 consultation was more about the interior details, Tierney said participants were clear the library should be accessible.

“Lots of comments were that it should be near transit,” Tierney said. “The existing location services a smaller portion of the area and it could be

a lot more if it was closer to the transit link.”

Elaine Condos, the library’s facilities and business services manager, said a cursory look at the hundreds of comments received during the consultation revealed that accessibility is indeed a priority – not just in location, but also in terms of furniture and shelving inside the building.

That’s a given, she said – any renovation or new build the city does meets accessibility standards, she said.

Other priorities that came up again and again, Condos said, called for a variety of spaces (creative spaces, traditional quiet study spots, meeting rooms), the addition of a performance or presentation space and the inclusion of a cafe or restaurant.

That one’s going to get a lot of traction, Condos said.

“It’s not even a trend, it’s a best practice,” she said, noting that the current main branch had a cafe for years but shut down because it wasn’t sus-

tainable. “Now we have vending machines.”

The library board has been considering the possibility of building a new central branch – likely with the help of a private partner – since last summer.

The city abandoned its plans to build a new structure in 2010 in favour of trying to fix up the current branch.

But a report published last July found the existing building would require $40 million in renovations to just get the library up to 21st century standards, and as much as $70 million to expand the space enough to offer a full range of uses for its 14,000 weekly visitors.

The library board directed staff to report back in 2015 with options for building a central library at a new site.

The library has already hired a consultant group to draft the business case for how the city might move forward in a public-private partnership.

Daycare subsidies to follow the child: city

Families will have more flexibility in choosing their daycare service going forward if a new city plan is approved.

Social services manager Aaron Burry unveiled a fiveyear transition plan on April 9 that will provide per-space base funding for licensed daycares in the city while attaching subsidies to families rather than agencies.

“We’re the last major municipality that still has dollars attached to agencies, rather than approving families and simply paying for their care,” Burry said.

That should change by 2017, as the city transitions to meet the province’s new child care guidelines by 2020.

Right now, the city’s 6,400 subsidized spots are stationed at agencies, which get an annual budget they can draw against if they accept subsidized kids.

“This has resulted in a very inefficient system in terms of underutilization of the system and dollars leftover,” Burry said.

With a 3,200-person wait list, that’s a big deal, he added.

It also leaves a huge number of families stuck at an inconvenient daycare so they can keep their subsidy while they wait for a transfer.

Under the new system, the city would simply approve a family and pay their child’s full fee wherever they attend a licensed day care, Burry said.

The plan is all about stability – for parents as well as the agencies. Daycares have shouldered rising costs and declining enrolment (heightened by the full-day kindergarten program pulling four- and five-year-olds into the school system).

Burry said the city will move to a per-space funding model, rather than the hodge-podge of government funding that exists today.

Right now an agency could get funding for anywhere between two and 63 per cent of its staff costs, while other agencies get little to no direct government funding.

Between the full-day kindergarten system and the fact that parents’ wallets are tapped out, daycares have been shutting their doors across the city.

Just this February, the St. Elias centre in Mooney’s Bay shut down permanently, leaving parents of 46 kids scrambling to find other arrangements. In a letter to parents on Jan. 20, the St. Elias board said the daycare had suffered a 30 per cent decline in enrolment because of the full implementation of junior kindergarten last September.

Burry said the city’s new plan will curb future closures because agencies will be able to rely on per-space funding every year.

Ottawa will kick in $11.5 million from its child care reserve over the next five years to provide transitional funding for agencies coping with financial pressures, while the prov-

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club O S U h O S tS S a n tO S F C aC a d e m y COaC h F rO m B r a z i l – lU i S F e r n a n d O Pa e S d e Ba r rO S OSU has been pleased to host Coach Luis FernaNdo Paes De Barros of the famed Santos FC Academy of Brazil this past week. Most recently, world superstar Neymar, of Barcelona F.C. was a product of the historic club in Brazil. Santos F.C. are probably most famous for another Brazilian and world superstar – Pele.

Coach De Barros has become known internationally for his knowledge and insight into the development of Brazilian players utilizing a methodology of futsal and soccer. He has travelled abroad, most recently being a guest presenter at the English F.A. National Conference and subsequently at the more local Ontario Soccer Conference. OSU Club Technical Director Paul Harris had the pleasure to see Coach De Barros present on both occasions, noting that “Luis’s approach and depth of knowledge on the development of players in another soccer advanced country was something that intrigued him greatly. Harris thought that this was something that could help the coaches at OSU to see first hand another countries player development style and also subject the OSU players to an additional proven philosophy and methodology.

Coach De Barros was able to work with a number of our Academy teams this past week. From this, our Academy players have been exposed to another development approach and philosophy, which will aid in their growth as teams and players. “OSU prides itself on providing new and innovative development opportunities for our players and coaches, in terms of their education in the game of soccer,” Harris stated.” These types of opportunities represent tangible development and education to players and coaches.”

Through a growing network and reputation in the field of player development, OSU continues to be able to attract coaches of this nature to the club and Ottawa. OSU has a slate of additional opportunities over the forthcoming year with visits from other professional and national team coaches.

More information on these opportunities will be posted and found at www.forceacademy.ca

Feds join city, province in funding sewage storage tunnels Major piece of the Ottawa River Action Plan can now move forward Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

The federal government will chip in to help cover the cost of underground downtown tunnels to hold sewage overflow.

Local politicians made the announcement on April 7 at the Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre.

The two interconnected tunnels will run from LeBreton Flats to Stanley Park, and along Kent Street from Chamberlain Street to Wellington Street. The tunnels will store overflow sewage

to prevent it from spilling into and contaminating the Ottawa River.

Provincial and municipal governments had already committed funding to the Ottawa River Action Plan; the federal government will contribute $62.09 million to the $231.3 million project.

There is an equal contribution from the provincial governments, leaving the city on the hook for over $100 million.

The tunnel is one of many initiatives under the Ottawa River Action Plan, all with the goal of cleaning up the river’s water. Other projects have included reduction of stormwater impacts and improving wastewater treatment.

Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau made the announcement about the tunnel’s funding, citing Petrie

Island as one of the city’s beaches that could greatly improve from less-contaminated water.

“Local residents will be better able to enjoy Petrie Island, the jewel of Orléans, to the fullest,” Galipeau said.

It’s common for Petrie Island to be closed because of contamination after heavy rainfalls that have lead to sewage overflowing into the water.

“The Ottawa River has had its difficulties as a result of sewage overflows and spillage into the river, there have been red flag warnings that have prevented swimmers from bathing at Petrie Island, there were a total of 24 days last summer,” said Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilevre. “We will have fewer of these closures; there will be less overflow of sewage into the Ottawa River.”

Politicians from all levels of government spoke at the announcement, which had nearly 40 minutes of speeches, much of them congratu-

latory to the other levels of government.

Marie-France Lalonde said much of Ottawa’s infrastructure was built in the

post-war period, so modernizations and updates are a ‘major undertaking’.

Let sentries stand proud

O

n a day when Canada remembered its proudest military moment, which took place on April 9, 1917 at Vimy Ridge, the country once again showed how petty politics and over-bearing bureaucracy continues to reduce the legacy of our Armed Forces to a shadow of its former self.

Why it makes more sense to post Ottawa police officers at the National War Memorial to protect the National Sentries standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – at a cost of $425,000 this year – than it does to simply hand loaded weapons to these trained military men and women is baffling.

According to the Department of National Defence, it doesn’t have jurisdiction over the site.

Well, perhaps rather than dishing out close to half a million dollars a year to protect the protectors, why not change the jurisdiction? Surely both the federal government and City of Ottawa could come up with a reasonable solution along those lines, in light of the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo last October.

Some might worry about the presence of armed

members of the military in the capital, but what makes a soldier less trustworthy with weapons than police? Do soldiers, if provided appropriate training, pose some threat to our democracy? We don’t live under a military junta and it’s highly unlikely we ever will. Providing a couple of soldiers performing a ceremonial duty the means to protect themselves will hardly sow the seeds of a Dr. Strangelove-esque catastrophe.

Canada’s service men and women have been bearing the brunt of our political inadequacies for some time now. All one needs to do is to look at the way our veterans are treated or at the once-againdeplorable state of the Forces themselves following Canada’s withdrawal from Afghanistan to see the rot.

The last thing Canada needs to do, especially in plain view of a monument to the legacy and bravery of its soldiers, is hire guardians to protect the guardians. Just give the brave men and women at the National War Memorial the means to protect themselves and let them stand proud.

T

he Ontario government, according to a recent news item, “is speeding up the process for closing schools, as part of a crackdown on publicly funded boards with too many classrooms sitting empty.�

Reflecting that, the government indicates that only two public meetings, instead of four, need to be held before a school closes, and the review need only take five months instead of seven.

Some people will see that as good news. The notion of lazy or stubborn boards wasting taxpayers’ dollars by keeping useless schools open is repugnant to those who make saving the taxpayers’ dollar the top priority.

But there are other priorities that deserve at least a thought before we

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town race ahead to streamline the process of getting rid of so-called “underutilized� schools.

Caution is one of them. For some reason demographics does not seem to be the strong suit of school boards or provincial governments. Shifts in population, up or down, are not foreseen. One school is built in panic, another is closed in panic. People move from the inner city to the suburbs and people move back from the suburbs to the inner city. None of this seems

to have anticipated by the decision makers. Given this, making decisions on school closings more quickly hardly seems like a logical step.

Another priority is consultation.

Those neighbourhood groups and parent groups that insist on having their say may seem like annoying hindrances to efficient decision-making, but they have rights, not to mention children. Further, they have local knowledge that the authorities should treasure rather than resent.

A third priority is neighbourhood.

The school is the centre of the neighbourhood. Take away a school and you hurt the neighbourhood.

A Globe and Mail article on the issue has a nice quote from Monika Turner, director of policy at the Association of Municipalities of DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 2ICHARD "URNS ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST "RAD #LOUTHIER /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

Ontario. “A school is the hub of a community,� she said. “When you close a school, that community has lost a draw for anybody to ever come back.�

It may be only a coincidence, but the authorities in the Globe quoted in favour of speeding up the closing process were school board people.

The people opposed represented municipal interests. They would be more inclined to recognize the neighbourhood consequences. A so-called under-utilized school is not empty. It could just under two-thirds full. Those who want to shut it down say the money could better be spent on programs. But there is more to a school than programs. A school can have great programs, but if it is overcrowded, the educational benefits will be diluted.

At one point, the Ontario government seemed to recognize this. There was a determined effort made to EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Passing the torch – let’s talk Continued from page 3

For the past eight years, my wife, daughter and I have lived in the greater Ottawa area, settling into the region that we are proud to call our home.

I have a varied background as a reporter and editor, having covered ev-

erything from a Memorial Cup junior hockey championship held in Seattle too many years ago to mention, to recently delving into the politics of First Nations and community relations between Akwesasne and the City of Cornwall.

But there is a common theme no matter where I

have been and what I have been writing about, and that is the joy I find in talking to people about the issues and stories that they care about in their community.

It is the people, and their hopes, dreams and concerns that is the thread that binds a community together.

I am excited to get to

Climate change debate brings all government levels together Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

A packed panel discussion at a church on McArthur Avenue perhaps speaks volumes to the growing concern around climate change policies in Canada, but the five participating politicians were hardly able to scratch the surface of the contentious topic during a two-hour discussion.

Ecology Ottawa hosted the event at the Unitarian Fellowship church in Overbrook on April 9 in an effort to get all levels of government representing the urban east end to discuss what elected representatives can and should do to mitigate climate change. Eastend city councillors Tim Tierney, Mathieu Fleury and Tobi Nussbaum joined Liberal Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and her federal counterpart, MP Mauril Bélanger at the table.

Since no one from the federal Conservative party – considered by critics to be the least environmentally-friendly federal party – currently represents the area, that voice was missing from the debate, which led to some political back-patting between the five like-minded representatives.

LOCAL IDEAS

But audience members were able to tighten the screws a bit during a question and answer period, which ranged from the inefficiencies of Canada Post’s community mailbox program to the dangers of the Energy East pipeline planned to cross the Rideau River.

At the city level, Fleury, Nussbaum and Tierney all advocated for more walkable neighbourhoods with improved cycling and transit options.

Other city priorities in-

cluded following through with planting one million trees in the wake of emerald ash borer devastation across the city, promoting energy efficiency and, perhaps most importantly, funding stage two of the city’s light rail transit plan that would bring electric trains to some of Ottawa’s suburbs.

But the discussion was perhaps most beneficial for Bélanger, who faces a federal election campaign later this year. He said his Liberal party will introduce a national carbon pricing plan if they form the next government –setting national targets and then allowing the provinces to decide how to meet them in their own way. “You’d have the benefit of different strategies for reducing carbon use and for carbon pricing, and each province could learn from each other,” Bélanger said.

Bélanger pledged to “restore environmental laws that

have been downgraded” under the Harper government’s watch, to end fossil fuel subsidies and to shift investment incentives to renewable energy technology and away from petroleum products.

His comments, for the most part, were met with applause and the occasional obscenity

cast against Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Harper’s position on transporting oil by rail and pipeline, however, was a touchier subject. Bélanger touted making rail safer for oil transportation so controversial pipelines can be avoided.

But one audience member

said that strategy is counterintuitive from a climate change perspective.

“When you talk about the different modes of transportation, you distract from the fact that they’re all transporting something that is deadly for the environment,” the audience member said.

Teens to learn about cultures

See the $avings

The Osgoode Youth Association is hosting a series of events to teach 12 students between grades 6 and 12 about different cultures over seven weeks, starting April 15 and going into May, with the association’s World Village Program.

Students who get involved will have a chance to sit down with hosts of seven different countries, learn about where they come from, see pictures, experience their food and much more.

“The woman from India is planning a trip to her home two weeks before her presentation, and she said she would pick up all sorts of trinkets for the kids,” said Nicole McKerracher, the Executive Director of the O-YA. “She can’t wait for her week to present and is really excited.”

The project is being made possible because the Osgoode

The organization has been around since 2002 and was created by community-minded people for bored teens.

In 2014, they had 723 different participants in the program and have recently won the CHEO Healthy Kids Award for their community programs.

Youth Association won a grant from the Community Foundation of Ottawa.

The grant requirements were for a cultural background and McKerracher had wanted to run a program like this for a while.

“We sort of just took that (grant requirements) as the inspiration for the program, and also just the fact that there is so little cultural diversity in the ward (Osgoode). We wanted to bring this experience to the kids,” said McKerracher.

The project is only expected to run once, unless it is very successful.

McKerracher is hoping to create good relationships between the association and the presenters and maybe through those connections they could offer similar events.

A youth worker for the O-YA organization, Kyla McCulloch, said the project is important because of what it can do for the community.

“I think it’s amazing because a lot of the teens, especially in Osgoode, are so cut off from the city and they’re no buses or anything so it gives them an op-

Ottawa businessman leads mountain adventure up Everest Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

No mountain is high enough for Shawn Dawson.

After becoming the eighth person in the world to climb the tallest summits on seven continents in two years, the Ottawa businessman is set to lead a group of 21 people up Mount Everest in his latest fundraising effort.

Dawson founded the Dream Mountains Foundation in 2011 to raise money for seven charities while he was trekking up the mountains.

“When I started to take on

the challenge I decided, because of the extreme risk involved, I wanted to make it about something greater than myself. So I decided to create the foundation,” he said.

Dawson raised more than $143,000 from 2009-11, as part of his tallest summits challenge. During those climbs, he almost died, falling through an ice bridge on Denali in Alaska, saw a dead body for the first time on Aconcagua in Argentina, and even stepped over a dead Russian climber, who had died a day earlier on his way up Mount Everest.

Dawson started asking

himself why he was taking on these dangerous adventures.

“If you don’t understand why you’re there, you’re not going to have the focus and drive to make it,” he said.

“I believe in challenging myself as a human being and understanding what I’m capable of doing and finding out what my limits are... It’s all about pushing myself and understanding my limits.”

He figured the next logical step for him was to share the experience with others.

“I wanted to try to keep raising money and keep it going,” he said.

This year’s Mount Everest expedition will be Dawson’s fifth, as the foundation has done one a year since he first finished the seven summit circuit. Dawson, who owns Fatboy’s Southern Smokehouse in the ByWard Market, has made his living in a number of restaurant and real estate ventures.

His foundation has raised more than $600,000 for charities he has a personal connection to, including Habitat for Humanity, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, and Dreams Take Flight.

This year’s team is leaving Ottawa on April 23 and has already garnered more than its goal of $100,000 for the seven charities. Dawson said he expects they’ll hit $125,000 by the time they leave.

Dawson’s expedition groups have gone through

Shawn Dawson sits at the top of Mount Everest. The Ottawa businessman will be leading a group of 21 people up the mountain later in April as part of a fundraising effort with his Dream Mountains Foundation. team building exercises and a gruelling physical training schedule to get ready for their expedition. This year’s group climbs 33 flights of stairs and goes back down 10 times, two days a week.Participants

have had to pay for their own travel costs for the adventure, but Dawson assured it will be well worth it.

“What makes a life time adventure isn’t just the destination; it’s the journey,” he said.

NOTICE OF FINAL OPEN HOUSE OTTAWA RIVER OUTFALLS REHABILITATION MASTER PLAN AND CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT You’re invited: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 7 – 9 p.m.

Hintonburg Community Centre, Wellington Room 1064 Wellington Street The City of Ottawa invites you to attend an Open House to present the study process and alternative solutions being proposed, as well as, provide the public with an opportunity to discuss the study with the study team and to provide input and comment.

The City of Ottawa is responsible for maintaining its storm and combined sewer outfalls to the Ottawa River to an acceptable level of service. The City of Ottawa is conducting a Master Plan and Class Environmental Assessment study to identify an effective rehabilitation programme for 29 outfalls to the Ottawa River that have deteriorated over time.

The Process: This study is nearing completion as a Master Plan project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, 2007, which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. After completion of Phase 2 of this study, alternative solutions have been identified and evaluated. A Master Plan document will be prepared that will establish the outfalls rehabilitation plan. Twenty-one outfalls are following schedule ‘A’ of the class EA process. Seven outfalls are proceeding under Class ‘B’ of the Environmental Assessment Process. A single outfall at Kent Street is being completed under the Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel and falls under the schedule identified for that project.

Members of the public, agencies, and other interested persons are invited to provide comments for incorporation into the planning and design of this project. All comments received will be collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice and the receipt of the necessary approvals, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with design and construction of this project.

Additional information is available on the City of Ottawa website at Ottawa.ca.

Tunnels will prevent Ottawa sewage from entering river Continued from page 7

Mayor Jim Watson appeared, on crutches as he re-

covers from his winter snowmobile accident, to speak and answer questions.

He said previous efforts

to clean up the river through the Ottawa River Action Plan have resulted in an 80 per cent decrease in raw sewage that

goes into the Ottawa River; this phase of the plan should eliminate the rest of the raw sewage from spilling over into the water, Watson said.

He spoke about the impact to the city’s downtown core while the new tunnels are built.

He said there will be some savings because some of the work can piggyback on the light rail tunnel digging.

Schedules will be developed by the city, and there will be some traffic disruptions while the tunnels are being built.

The work done in the immediate core and tourist areas will be finished by the first day of 2017, in time for the city’s celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday.

The rest of the work will be completed by 2019, Watson said.

Poilevre faced questions on whether the Ottawa River Action Plan in the city of Ottawa is enough without similar plans in towns and municipalities outside the city but along the river.

Ottawa is the major population centre, so cleaning it up will ‘go a long way’ he said, adding they were happy to work with other municipalities in the region.

Mother’s forgetfulness has entire family on hunt

I

could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast.

It didn’t sound like her usual early morning bustle.

There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasn’t the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm.

When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her. She was halfway into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat. “I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,” and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories “Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And before any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them.

I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and that’s all there is to it.”

She sure was agitated. We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the house for the search. We

even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door. Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas.

“I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It looks to me like Mother has gone and lost something again.” Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up

to the front lid, slamming it as she did so. “Very strange it is to me,” Mother said. “How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.” She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove. Father suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, “Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and we found it on the seat of the Model T,” he offered. “Those pictures were right there,” she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack.

“Well, there’s nothing more to do about them now,” she said with a big sigh. “But tonight we all search again. I promised those pictures to Aunt Freda, and I will keep her letter over for one more day, but they better turn up this evening.” I wondered what would happen if they didn’t.

Now, we had a long lane

going into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road.

Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didn’t manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school.

We could always tell if there were letters in the box, because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane.

Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who announced that she hadn’t found the pictures and she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping. She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous.

“Well, what do you know about that?” she said. ”Aunt

Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week.

Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And was looking forward to hearing about my spring planting coming up.”

Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to Father. He had enough on his mind with trying to get the last of the seeding done and all. It wasn’t to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it.

I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week.

Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age.

Ottawa police to guard sentries at the National War Memorial DND to pay city $425,000 for armed protection Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

the ceremonial guard, said he is confident in the safety of the sentries now guarding the memorial.

“The Canadian Forces takes the security of soldiers very seriously,” he said.

“In this particular case, we have cooperation with Ottawa city police and it’s working very well and we’re very happy with it.”

In addition to armed police guards, stanchions have also been installed around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to give sentries more room.

“The stanchions are there in part to protect the soldiers,” Lavigne said. “It gives them a bit more room to manoeuvre.

We have had some instances in the past when the public has gotten a bit too aggressive in trying to take pictures.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs also marked the 98th anniversary of Vimy Ridge in a ceremony following the relaunch of the National Sentry.

The ceremonial guards who watch over the National War Memorial every summer have become the guarded.

The Department of National Defence has announced it will pay Ottawa police $425,000 this summer to protect the sentries.

The decision to guard the guards comes less than a year after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in October 2014.

The National Sentry guards retook their positions in a ceremony on April 9, standing on

either side of the monument.

Armed police officers will protect the sentries every day until the season ends in early November.

“After the terrorist attack of Oct. 22, we learned there are certain dangers to which our soldiers willingly subject themselves (to),” said NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre after the ceremony.

“We are going to do everything in our power to protect the men and women who stand in defence of our National War Monument.”

Cirillo had been guarding the memorial when he was reportedly shot twice at pointblank range by Michael Zehaf Bibeau, who was later killed after storming Parliament Hill with a rifle.

The attack shook the capital and provoked the new safety measures for the reserve soldiers who stand by the monument in a ceremonial role.

LEAVE YOUR LASTING MARK FOR CHEO’S CHILDREN & FAMILIES MATT WAS ONE OF THOSE RARE PEOPLE WHO HAD AN INNATE AND INCREDIBLE ABILITY TO TOUCH AND AFFECT THOSE HE LOVED IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY. NOW THE MATT LARUE MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT FUND WILL CONTINUE TO HELP PEOPLE AT CHEO’S DIABETES CLINIC. By making a planned gift to CHEO you not only help future generations of children, but you also provide some tax relief to your estate, while still providing for your family members.

Here are some ways you can create your Forever CHEO legacy: make a bequest in your Will; create an endowment fund; name CHEO as the beneficiary of your RRSPs or RRIFs; or take out a life insurance policy with CHEO as the beneficiary.

CONSIDER CREATING A TRULY LASTING LEGACY AND HELP TO ENSURE THAT CHEO IS FOREVER PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

Ford revs up to help students reach fundraising goal Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

A Manotick car dealership is hoping to drive some cash into the coffers of a student fundraising campaign at Steve MacLean public school this coming weekend.

The fundraising event on Saturday, April 18, is to support the school’s Solidarity in Haiti (Solidarité Haiti) Be The Change – One Brick at a Time campaign.

The campaign is raising funds to help a school-in-need and children affected by severe weather events in Haiti in recent years. The school’s campaign is being spearheaded by Steve MacLean public school’s Grade 6 students.

Manotick’s Dan Murphy

Ford is sponsoring the Ford Drive 4 UR Community testdrive fundraiser that is set for the school at 4175 Spratt Rd. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The students have done really well with their campaign and we want to help them.

ERIC LEMKE, DAN MURPHY FORD

For every licensed driver who participates, Ford will donate $20 to the campaign.

The company will donate up to $6,000 at the event, which would take 300 test drives to reach the goal.

“The school has been really good in their efforts. The students have done really well with their campaign and we want to help them,” said Eric Lemke, head of community relations at Dan Murphy Ford.

Lemke said that four or five different model new Ford cars will be on site for those who register to take a test drive.

The drivers who participate will be asked to complete a short survey after their test drive.

Those interested in participating can register at the event, or preregister by going to www. drive4ur.com/en/bethechangedrive4urcommunity/Register.

M&M Meat Shops will also also be hosting a charity barbecue during the fundraising event.

Maximize your child’s learning ability development.

Unfortunately, it can be challenging for parents and teachers to recognize vision problems in children.

It can be equally difficult for children to communicate or recognize issues, as they may think that they see the world the way everyone does.

Despite having 20/20 vision, children can still suffer from various eye health problems, such as eye focusing, which can create frustration and lead to permanent learning consequences.

Look out for these eye appearances and symptoms as an indication of your child having a vision problem:

EYE HEALTH CHECKLIST

APPEARANCES:

Children’s eye health is a fundamental part of their growth and

• One eye that looks turned in or out • Bumps, styes, redness, swell-

ing, or crusting of eyelids • Haziness or whitish appearance inside the pupil • Frequently watery eyes • Excessive blinking or squinting

WEEK IN REVIEW

SYMPTOMS:

• Closing or covering an eye when looking at objects • Losing place or using a finger to maintain place when reading • Exhibiting a reading or learning problem • Complaining of headaches, nausea and dizziness • Avoiding reading, colouring, or activities up close • Poor hand-eye coordination No one can see through children’s eyes, except the children themselves. The best way to ensure your children have a bright future is by booking their eye exam with a doctor of optometry.

Saturday, April 4 – Friday, April 10 I hope everyone enjoyed a nice and safe Easter weekend with family and friends.

On Saturday, I was pleased to participate in Station 93’s Annual Easter Weekend Pancake Breakfast as well as attend the Easter Farmers’ Market at the Greely Legion. It was nice to see so many people out supporting these great community events. On Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Ron MacLean at the Hometown Hockey Tour in Kanata.

This work week was spent meeting with residents, Community Association Representatives and City staff.

All meetings were very productive. I also had the opportunity to sit down with MPP Lisa MacLeod and we discussed concerns that affect residents at both the municipal and provincial levels.

I would like to also thank the Greely Business Association and the Greely Community Association for inviting me to speak at their meetings. I know we all live very busy lives and the time and energy these volunteers contribute to our ward is definitely appreciated.

As some of you may know, we are fortunate to have a new Community Events Administrator join our office.

Jane DiRaimo began working for me in February and has been a great asset and very helpful in providing community support. Jane has attended a number of community and city events over the last couple of months, as well as being involved with the GBA and other community based organization. If you are at an event and see Jane, I hope you will take the time to introduce yourself.

Jane is very approachable and is eager to help our residents while promoting our community strengths.

She will also be able to provide proper direction should your questions require additional support from City Staff. Please join me in welcoming Jane to our team!

parison and they do not always display symptoms for caregivers to notice.

The only way to truly know how well your child can see is through a thorough assessment.

In Ontario, OHIP covers annual comprehensive eye exams for children up to 19 years of age, so there is no out of pocket cost for parents.

Eye See...Eye Learn is a free program offered by participating doctors of optometry, helping to identify vision problems in Ontario’s young children. The program provides eye exams and complimentary eyeglasses to Junior Kindergarten children, when needed.

R0013221671

Eye health and vision is an essential part of children’s cognitive and social development, especially as they start school.

An untreated eye issue can greatly impede a child’s ability to learn, play, and even socialize.

Studies show that difficulty learning is often connected to a correctable vision problem. In fact, 80 per cent of classroom learning is done through the eyes.

“Vision health is extremely important for children in all settings, including the classroom, at home, and while participating in extracurricular activities,” says Dr. Radhika Chawla, doctor of optometry, who agrees with studies that show vision and learning are fundamentally linked.

“In kindergarten, for example, vision problems can interfere with simple hand-eye coordination activities and the ability to perform near tasks, such as reading. This can hinder a child’s ability to learn and can lead to emotional issues.”

One in four school-aged children faces some form of vision difficulty. Despite this, 90 per cent of children have not had an eye exam from a doctor of optometry before the age of four.

A child’s vision problems can easily go undetected.

Vision problems aren’t always obvious to the parents or the child.

Children have no form of com-

OPINION

Connected to your community

In which the professor leaves the classroom DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife classes were too short-lived to leave me with the feeling that many teachers have.

Teachers are leaving a mark on their students’ lives.

It’s not easy for teachers to break through the distractions to get to their students in today’s classroom.

Student rights trump the teachers’ authority in many cases. Just take a stroll through YouTube and you will see dozens of videos of frustrated teachers attempting to keep the attention of the class while students are texting, browsing the Internet or even watching a movie on their laptop. Larry Leeson

(Dad) never had to deal with cell phones in the classroom.

I doubt a single mobile device would have survived that encounter.

Back to my husband, whom I normally call “the Farmer”.

In this story, he will be TF to avoid confusion, because I am speaking about that part of his life that happens off the farm.

As a college / university professor, your students are adults and paying to be in your class. They judge you on your performance and that rating becomes your review and assessment. It’s a bit of a popularity contest – and not

Pet Adoptions Domino (A168805) a good-natured kitty-cat who loves everyone and everything (except other cats).

Domino has even been known to become friends with dogs! He is such a big boy, you won’t believe he’s only two years old!

You will likely find Domino unwinding in his bed, as he likes to take it easy. He can get tired out from too much play, so a slower approach and day filled with light activities would be best for this cuddle monster.

easily won if the subjects you are teaching are Math, Business and Agricultural Economics. Teaching, TF says, was never his comfort zone.

One-on-one, yes. He loves the subject matter, he is patient and enjoys tutoring a pupil to success.

But standing in front of a large group, the orator in the spotlight, was never his thing.

Imagine working fulltime in a position that isn’t your comfort zone. For much of your adult life.

It’s not that he doesn’t know what he loves. He does.

He loves building things. TF has joked that if he knew upon leaving high school that an engineer does more than drive a train, he would have taken engineering in university. I said he should have taken it anyway.

He would have looked cute in the hat.

TF has built four houses and restored two more. He

loves farming because there is always something to repair, move or reinforce in the barn and along the fence line.

But if you combine his love of building with his genuine love of business, there you have it. Real estate.

Just over two years ago TF decided to study for his real estate license. Now he hangs his shingle at Remax in Kemptville.

Already he has been named top salesperson in the office more than once.

He has had and sold listings from Cardinal to Carleton Place to Ottawa and many places in between. He truly loves what he is doing.

I love what I do to, but it doesn’t pay much. So we have downsized a bit on the farm, saying goodbye to the things – and the animals – that gave us pleasure but didn’t exactly bring in revenue.

We have a healthy herd of beef cattle now, and that will

Celebrating National Volunteer Appreciation

0416.R0013225037

Every year, organizations across Canada mark National Volunteer Week to recognize, celebrate and thank Canada’s 13.3 millionplus volunteers.

This year, National Volunteer Week takes place April 12-18. Volunteers touch almost everything we accomplish at the Ottawa Humane Society. You might be surprised to know that the OHS is supported by over 800 volunteers, and the number is growing every month. With over 800 volunteers, it’s not hard to see that volunteers are the lifeblood of the OHS. Their gift of time, dedication and enthusiasm allows us to continue to provide care for more than 10,000 animals each year, and accomplish so much for our community.

Our volunteers give their time to more than 26 programs and in 2014, gave

almost 60,000 hours of their time to help the animals in our care. Volunteers visit 78 institutions in our community and bring joy and happiness through our brightening lives program; they support our retail boutique; they pick-up and drop-off coin boxes for donations throughout the city; they call our donors to thank them for their support; they help enrich the qualities of lives for dogs, cats and small animals residing at the shelter; they help with the planning and delivery of events; they bring animals into their home and provide care for the animal until they are ready to be adopted; they groom our animals; they drop off adopted animals to their new forever families on Christmas mornings; they process donations; they help with administrative tasks; they educate the public

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258

in French and English about animal care and welfare; they save the lives of vulnerable kittens; they help at-risk youth to change their lives through training shelter dogs; they take photos to help animals find their new families; they help provide lifesaving medical treatments; they help govern the OHS, and this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Volunteers are the driving force behind giving so many animals a second chance, and for making our community a more humane place for all. Without their support, there would be no Ottawa Humane Society.

Please join me and everyone at the OHS in thanking the over 800 men and women that make the work of the OHS possible this National Volunteer Appreciation Week!

DOMinO (A168805)

keep us busy in our off-hours.

The calves may not be as cuddly as the lambs were but they are a lot less work.

So there is your answer to “what will your husband do?” now that Kemptville College is closing.

I look forward to the next incarnation of the campus that I grew up on, climbing trees and reading in the library as a child.

My mother worked there for nearly 40 years also, as the director’s executive assistant. It has always been a big part of my family.

And if you decide to buy or sell a house this spring, I know a really good real estate agent who would be thrilled to help you.

Just tell him his Farmwife sent you.

Lucky

Hello! My name is Lucky I’m a 7 month old male.

My family adopted me from a family farm. I’m very friendly and love to play. I love napping by the cozy fireplace, I enjoy hiding is bags as well as napping in a crystal bowl in the living room. I love to chase my friends, and do ninja hi-jinks my family think I’m funny and cute! I do not like winter, and can’t wait till spring and summer so I can hunt, play and watch the birds fly by. I think my family rocks!

I’m a Lucky cat.

n April 2nd, my husband left the classroom at Kemptville College for the last time.

After 25 years as a professor of Agricultural Economics, he was shutting the door on that phase of his life. He started a part-time career as a real estate agent a few years ago, so that will be the hat he now wears, until full retirement.

When I was a teenager I considered following in my father Larry Leeson’s footsteps and becoming a teacher.

He wasn’t exactly supportive. He said he didn’t want me going into such a stressful, thankless career.

Well, I’m sure teaching can be frustrating at times, but I imagine it is also extremely rewarding.

I got a taste of it when I was teaching English as a Second Language in Taiwan but my

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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 Think before you speak, Aries. Quick wit might lead to some easy laughs, but it’s best to consider how your words will affect those around you before you speak.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Give yourself a little more time to solve a puzzling problem, Taurus.

Within a few days you might have the fresh perspective you need to determine a solution.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, criticism coming your way is intended to be constructive. Listen to what others are saying and recognize that they are advocates, not adversaries.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give yourself time to form an opinion on an important issue in your life. The more time you give yourself, the more clearly you will see the issue at hand.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, not everyone moves at your breakneck speed. Just because others aren’t keeping up doesn’t mean they don’t understand what is going on.

Give others time to catch up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a budding relationship demands your attention this week. Give this relationship the attention it deserves, and you will be glad for having done so.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to rehash an old issue. You and others have long since moved on, and there are more positive things to focus on in the next week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your financial savvy comes to the forefront this week. Put your skill for finding a deal to work and you and your accountant will be glad you did.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a goal that seems unlikely is still worth working toward.

Others will be there to offer support and guidance as you pursue this very unique and rewarding goal.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a great opportunity to express yourself comes along this week. Make the most of this chance to let others see your creative side.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a friend or family member looks to you for advice this week.

Do your best to put yourself in his or her shoes and let him or her know your support is unwavering.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you have the wherewithal to complete a projects other may never even attempt. Put your best foot forward and get to work.
