Parks Canada offers temporary solution to Manotick demand Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Parks Canada is willing to allow a dock to be reinstalled at an existing boat launch area in Manotick along the Rideau. The dock has been the focus of an ongoing lobbying effort in the village since the City of Ottawa bought land from the feds beside Bridge Street in 2011.

But while having a dock at the site now appears close to becoming reality, there are still a number of issues being discussed between the city and the federal agency before a dock is actually in operation, foremost among them being if there is time for a dock to be available for use this coming boating season.

Dock issue needs to be resolved before summer Also at issue is whether the dock will have a life span beyond just one boating season. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt told the Manotick News last week that while he wants “something there this summer” details are still be worked out with Parks Canada. The Manotick Village

Community Association was approved to receive up to $23,350 from the city in the past to build a dock at the boat launch beside the Long Island Aquatic Club off South River Drive. Without Parks Canada’s willingness, until recently, to allow a dock to be reinstalled at the site, that has not occurred. Parks Canada had operated a dock at the site for years until the land was

sold to the city. Parks Canada then removed its dock from the site. “In retrospect, it probably would have been smarter to build the thing and put it somewhere,” until permission to install it was worked out between the city and Parks Canada, Moffatt said, adding building a dock was in the hands of the community. The willingness of Parks

Canada to allow a dock at the site, however, is a step forward in the process, even if that willingness comes with some key conditions. The federal agency that oversees activity along the river is now willing to issue a temporary permit for a dock, but there are conditions that could scuttle a dock becoming a permanent fixture. Among those conditions is a review to be completed after it is in place for a boating season to determine if it is safe to have a dock at the site on an ongoing basis. Federal MP Pierre Poilievre’s office has been

involved in helping facilitate recent discussions between the city and Parks Canada. JP Milton, case manager at Poilievre’s Manotick office, said the first step was to get Parks Canada to agree to a permit for a dock. “They just want to make sure that it is safe to have there,” he said of having a temporary permit pending a review. Manotick Community Association president Klaus Beltzner said that as head of the MCA, he understands Parks Canada’s safety concerns. But he told the Manotick News that there must be a clear un-

derstanding of what the criteria of a safety review entails. “What needs to be known is exactly what the criteria is that they will be using,” he said. “In my mind, I am personally in favour of going ahead with a one year trial, but we need to have the criteria for that trial. “We need someone to say, ‘look, these are the kinds of problems we will be looking at,” Beltzner said. “I’m just trying to figure out where they are coming from. Who is the person responsible who makes the safety decisions.” With files from Emma Jackson

The Canadian War Museum is set to celebrate 10th anniversary Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

For a decade, the Canadian War Museum has stood in Lebreton Flats, serving as part memorial and part educational institution. The museum is now set to celebrate its 10th anniversary in its current location with a day of free admission and special activities on May 9. “We’ve brought stories of courage, sacrifice and sorrow to Canadians, and they responded with unwavering support,” said Mark O’Neill, the museum’s president. “I hope that many of those who’ve been moved by our exhibitions and programs will join in our 10th anniversary celebrations.” More than five million people have poured

Continued from the front

through the museum’s exhibits since it left its old Sussex Drive location in 2005 and moved across to Lebreton Flats. The day of celebration will feature tanks and armoured vehicles rolling along in the museum’s North Plaza in demonstrations as historians will be available for free tours and veterans will be on hand to tell war stories. Visitors will also be able to get a rare glimpse at the museum’s vault, which contains art, uniforms and equipment. The museum has also launched a social media campaign to extend the celebration beyond May 9. The initiative asks Canadians to share their experiences of the museum on Twitter using the hashtag #WarMuseum10, or on YouTube, using the words “My #WarMuseum 10 Story” in the title.

Manotick author Holly Bodger holds an advance copy of her first published novel, 5 to 1, in her writer’s room at her home. She will be featured at a book signing at an Indigo store in Barrhaven on Saturday, May 16, before heading to the United States for similar events in New York and San Francisco. bodger.com, besides information about her work as a writer there is also facts about gender selection and a trailer for a film called, It’s a Girl. “Obviously, I have exaggerated it to make a point, but it is a very serious issue,” she said. With the completion of her first published novel, at least the process of writing was something that she was familiar with. Now, for the University of Ottawa grad, comes the completely new experience of promoting her own novel.

author who is now focussed on writing for the teen fiction market. Although Bodger, who has worked as a technical writer and now in the publishing field, has written in many forms and many styles over the years, over time she realized that her true voice as a writer of fiction appeals to young readers. “You pour your heart into a book. You have to find a voice, and write in that voice,” she said of the many works of fiction she has written as she has evolved as a writer. “Everyone has different tastes, everyone likes different things. If it is not rational to you, then you are not being true to yourself as a writer.” The subject of her new novel 5 to 1, which has a unique structure written in both verse and prose from the different viewpoints of a girl and a boy who are both trapped by the expectations that fall upon them in the society in which they live, did not emerge out of thin air. About three years ago, she read a medical article on the ethics of gender selection and its consequences on both girls, and even boys, in places such as China and India that practice forms of gender selection, either for cultural, religious or political reasons. The world that Bodger creates in 5 to 1 is not so far-fetched. It’s a complex issue that has become dear to her heart. On her personal website, www.holy-

Imagine a place in the Year 2054 where gender selection has led to a ratio of boys to girls of 5 to 1. A place where marrying off your young daughter is the norm, and mothers, rather than rebelling against the system, instead facilitate the status quo and create a process in which boys must compete to win their future mate. Imagine finding the voice to create such a place in your mind and write about it. Manotick writer Holly Bodger has imagined just such a place. It is the setting of her first published novel, 5 to 1. Bodger has been harnessing her imagination through the written word since a very early age. She wrote her first book, a two-page novel, at age six as a young child growing up in Manotick, and has been on the career path since then that leads to the official release of 5 to 1 by major publishing house Alfred A. Knopf on May 12. Advance copies have been getting rave reviews, including from USA Today, which said “5 to 1 is a visual and intriguing masterpiece that opens the imagination and never leaves even after the book is closed.” “I’ve always known that I wanted to be a writer,” Bodger said during an interview at her comfortable Manotick home, where she has created a writer’s room suitable for an emerging

Singer happy to help United Church keep a clean roof Brian Dryden

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Folk singer Terry Tufts promises to keep his between song banter “clean” when he takes the stage at a fundraising concert at Manotick’s United Church on Saturday, May 9. Every five years or so, the church has to do some repair and restoration work on its metal roof. As a heritage building, that work must follow heritage guidelines, explained church administrator Lisa Richards. “It has to be painted and have some minor repairs done,” Richards said. “It’s a heritage structure so to do it properly it costs $15,000.” The church can access some heritage related grants, but to help fund the work that will start shortly on the building this time around Tufts will perform in concert from 2-5 p.m. on May 9. Tickets for the show are $30 each or $80 for a family pass, for two adults and two to three kids. “We’ve got an older congregation and he’s a story teller, so it’s good for our purposes. And it’s clean,” Richards said of having Tufts, a renowned

When Tufts is told in a phone interview that one of the attractions of having him play at the church is that his repartee with an audience is clean, he hoots with laughter. “Well, I do take into account who is in my audience,” he chuckles over the line. He is a professional singer-song-

writer after all, adding he’s been playing shows in the area since “Christ was a cowboy.” “I do a lot of my own stuff so I want to tell them a bit of the background of where the song comes from,” Tufts said of his interaction with his audience. The musician, who lives in North Frontenac, is happy to perform and help out whenever he can. “I did a show at the mill there last year for Terry McGovern,” Tufts said. “They asked if I’d come to do another to help out the church. I do as much as I can when asked if the schedule allows.” While the concert will not raise all the money needed to do the work on the church’s roof, it will certainly help, said Richards. “If we sell 175 tickets, that’s $5,000, one-third of what we need,” Richards said, adding that regardless of how much is raised the work on the roof must be done. There will be some beverages and refreshments at the show, but no alcoholic beverages will be served. “We do want people to be in shape to come to church Sunday,” Richards joked. “We’ve done a lot of concerts here,” she said. “The sanctuary area, when it’s cleared up, makes a really great stage for a concert.” For more information, call Manotick United Church at 613-692-4576.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking long-term foster homes for female dogs in its breeding program. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind breeds golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers. At this time, they are currently seeking long-term foster homes for female breeding dogs, which are fully trained adult dogs, specifically selected from the guide dog program for breeding purposes, to produce future guide dogs. Suitable candidates should be home most of the day, have a secure yard, and access to transportation. This is a longterm commitment of up to eight years, in which you home a dog from the breeding program. Ownership of the dog is retained by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Food and veterinary expenses are provided. For this position, you must live within a one-hour drive of

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind’s National Training Centre in Manotick, Ontario. This commitment of up to eight years is like having a pet dog, with all food and veterinary expenses provided. However, there is one special element to the position. Occasionally, the dog you are fostering would be used for breeding purposes and the litter of pups is born in your home, starting eight weeks of whelping the litter; the process when a female dog gives birth. Experience in whelping litters of puppies is an asset, but not necessary. When the dog gives birth, you need to be home the majority of the time throughout the eight week commitment for whelping. In the first three weeks, you need to be there to supervise the pups for feedings every few hours. You have to keep the whelping box clean and wash the blankets, plus make sure their mom is doing well post-whelping, and monitor

24 hours a day if needed for emergencies. When the pups are eight weeks old, they are removed from the volunteer’s home and enter into the guide dog training program. The breeding dog remains living in your home. For additional information or to complete an application, contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at (613) 692-7777 or email info@guidedogs.ca. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided more than 760 professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind also operates an Assistance Dogs Division, which trains assistance dogs for individuals in the local area with mobility-related disabilities. To learn more about the organization, visit www.guidedogs. ca or phone (613) 692-7777.

the pups’ weight twice a day to ensure that each pup is gaining weight. As the pups get older, they are gradually introduced to watered-down kibble. As they are weaned, they start to socialize with people and each other more and begin to go outside. The older they get, the more intense the work gets, as they need a lot more stimulation. You work on housetraining with them, and their naps become shorter as they get older. It is at that point that you start to see their little personalities develop. A professional staff member from CGDB is present throughout the whelping of the pups to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible. Following the birth, they visit your home on a weekly basis to assess the pups and their mom; to offer advice; and to answer any questions or concerns. If you have any issues between visits, you can call CGDB to have them addressed and someone can be reached

WEEK IN REVIEW Saturday, April 25 – Friday, May 1 As last week’s newsletter was sent out on Friday morning, we did not have the chance to include details about the Rural Farm Bus Tour. I am very pleased to say that the day was very successful and I was happy to host this event in conjunction with the Ottawa Federation of Agriculture, The Rural Affairs Ofﬁce and Councillor Blais. We had over 40 City Staff, including Councillors, Planners and General Managers, spending the day with local farmers. It was a great opportunity to learn more about our farmers and the challenges they face. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Paul Mussell for all his work in organizing this tremendous day and to Domaine Perrault Winery, Carleton Mushroom and Suntech Greenhouses for hosting our large group.

Haiti classroom donation Grade 6 Steve MacLean students Ryan Mortimer, Illyas Charania, Logan Keillor and Elsa Faisal present a $24,000 cheque to Helena Kelly, in front at left, her husband Benoît Bégin and Steve Harris of Solidarité-Haiti on April 23. The funds raised by two Grade 6 classes will help pay for the construction of classrooms in a school in Haiti.

Although the weather was a little cold, spirits were not dampened as so many volunteers took the time to clean up their communities. This past weekend, many residents from Osgoode and Vernon donated their time in support of the “Spring Cleaning the Capital” initiative. I know there have been other groups who have participated previously and a few more groups in the upcoming weeks. Once the program is done, I will be posting a list of all groups who volunteered their time. Their efforts are truly appreciated.

Court decision causes awkward silence Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

City council stopped its traditional pre-meeting prayer following a Supreme Court ruling last month, leaving a bit of an uncomfortable silence around the horseshoe in Andrew Haydon Hall. Since then, it was proposed on April 29 that council start the bi-weekly meetings with a silent moment of reflection instead of a prayer. The April 15 council meeting was the first meeting of Ottawa’s city council to omit the prayer. The Supreme Court ruling addressed a battle to say a Catholic prayer before council in Saguenay, Que., but many other municipal governments have taken the decision into consideration as well. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson disagreed with the proposal to replace the prayer with a silent moment, and said she doesn’t like the concept of a moment of reflection because moments of silence are generally reserved for remembrance of a death or tragedy. “At council, I don’t think we’re remembering, we’re acting,” she said. “I don’t like this way of dealing with it because moments of reflection are usually for remembrance.”

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the organizers of the “Hunks For Hammers” event held on Saturday, April 25 at the Greely Community Centre. Once again, Patti-Anne Scrivens took the lead on this fundraiser for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, with proceeds from this year’s event going speciﬁcally to the Maplesoft Centre. A great deal of money was raised to help with local cancer care and coaching and I know this fundraiser takes a lot of work from many people. I would also like to thank Jane in my ofﬁce as she worked very closely with Patti-Anne to coordinate the many volunteers, to secure sponsorship and ensure all the special touches were made.

The Council meeting on Wednesday was the only committee meeting this week. I attended a few other meetings and one in particular involved making plans for the upcoming Mayor’s Rural Expo on Thursday, June 4. I would encourage all local businesses to follow up with the Rural Affairs Ofﬁce to secure the spot for this annual event.

Much at stake in labour battle

ust like the mercury rising in thermometers across Ontario these days, temperatures are rising in the latest chapter in a series of showdowns between the provincial government and the teachers unions. The last time this happened, back in December 2012, Dalton McGuinty was still premier, autumn was turning into winter and relations between Queen’s Park and the teachers were just as chilly as they are today. That dispute, which the unions characterized as a fight about rights and the province said was about money, was among the factors that saw McGuinty move on to a secluded life of Ivy League academia and started the process of current Premier Kathleen Wynne’s rise to power. How little has changed in a few short years. From the province’s perspective, it was about holding the line on salaries then, just as it is now. The teachers are once again claiming it’s an attack on rights, not about pay. Two things should shape this dispute, but likely won’t: the province still has significant budget woes,

and teachers are still well paid. Whether those facts have any influence over the negotiations remains to be seen. Eventually one side will cave in, yet by then some sort of damage will be done to the rest of us. Either the province will cave, as it did back in 2012, and we’ll be stuck with the bill or, after some sort of disruption in our schools, teachers will grudgingly return to work, smarting from a battle lost. Back in 2012, this newspaper supported a different notion: all differences aside, what must be held foremost in the minds of all parties is that education is about our children. Children are the future of this province, and any shot it has at returning to prosperity has a lot to do with them. Bitterness or cold calculation today will only lead to ruin tomorrow. Some sort of compromise needs to be struck that allows the province to move forward with reducing the deficit, while at the same time ensuring satisfaction and security for teachers. This is far from an easy task, but it’s what must be done to ensure that Ontario doesn’t continue to lose its way.

Give Sparks Street pedestrian mall a break

hey’ve started talking about cars on Sparks Street again. You could have predicted it, because it happens every time somebody notices Sparks Street. When somebody notices Sparks Street, particularly if it is after business hours, somebody notices that there are no people on it. Then they start talking about putting cars on it again, as if that would solve something. It would; it would solve the problem of there being no cars on Sparks Street. But it wouldn’t solve anything else. For much of the time -- say, 9 to 5, May to October -- there isn’t much that needs solving on Sparks Street. People are out and about, chatting, eating food from one of the food wagons, listening to a busker,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town watching a juggler. It’s not the kind of thing that tourists come from far and wide to see, but it’s OK. It’s better than just another street with cars on it. Over its 48-year history, they have tried various things to “save” the Sparks Street mall. Most of the saving consists of putting new objects in the middle of it -- furniture, kiosks and some structures that, frankly, it’s hard to know what they are. After a few years, those objects are carted

away and new ones are put in there. Then there are events, mostly involving food competitions of one sort or another. These draw well, but they leave eventually and it becomes the same old Sparks Street again. The main problem is that the big stores decided, around the time the Rideau Centre opened in 1983, to leave Sparks Street. So Sparks Street is no longer a shopping destination. Another problem, which may solve itself as more and more condos and apartment buildings go up, is that most of the population decides to leave Sparks Street too, as soon as the workday is over. Sparks Street needs to be thought of as the place to go, and it isn’t.

And even if there were riots, they would have taken place on Elgin Street, which somehow got to be the Sens Mile. Sparks Street can’t catch a break. Putting cars back on it would just add insult to injury.

suburban malls. The place to go for drinking and dining is the ByWard Market. Sparks Street is the place to go to look at the structures in the middle of it and try to figure out what they are. To be thought of as the place to go, Sparks Street needs excitement. If there had been riots on Sparks Street after the elimination game against Montreal that would have put Sparks Street on the map. People would go down in the off season to see where the riots happened. During the playoffs they would go down there to riot. But there weren’t any riots, despite the Senators having been robbed by the ref of the tying goal, despite Subban breaking Stone’s wrist, despite the plain old injustice of it all. To their credit, Ottawans, unlike, say, Vancouverites, just aren’t rioting people. When the ref ruins everything, we write letters to the editor.

Winchester Hospital Heelers lace up one more time Joseph Morin Joe.morin@metroland.com

The Winchester Hospital Heelers are on the last lap of a promise they made to their community back in 2007 when they started out on their journey. The Heelers pledged to raise $500,000 for a new digital mammography machine for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital. The hospital purchased the machine several years ago and the Heelers have been working on helping the hospital with their debt ever since and having a great deal of fun while doing it, said Christina Enright a member of the

team and a cancer survivor. The team members all share one vision and that is of a community where there is the right kind of diagnostic equipment that they can depend on close to home. The dynamic group is a brand recognized in the Winchester community. They are hoping that brand will help them accomplish their goal. To date they have raised $482,000 now they are anxious to reach their final goal with one final burst of speed – the last $18,000. This year’s fundraising event is coming together.

The City of O awa Workshops is a good example of the type of industrial building built throughout North America in the ﬁrst half of the 20th century. Constructed in 1941, as part of a larger complex of City buildings, it was designed by Joseph Holmes Irvine, City of O awa Design Engineer. The building is constructed of reinforced concrete with a brick veneer. Features of the building associated with the Modern style include the ﬂat roof, plain, unadorned façade and the large steel framed windows with inset hopper windows. The cultural heritage value of the City of O awa Workshops also lies in its historical and contextual importance within the former industrial hub of west O awa. It is one of the few remaining examples of this prominent industrial area centered on the railway tracks. The complex func oned as a maintenance yard, workshops and storage. Located on the border of the historic community of Mechanicsville, the City of O awa Workshops is an important symbol of the area’s industrial and railroad boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Strikes loom as elementary, Catholic teachers join fray steph.willems@metroland.com

Ontario parents are likely getting apprehensive after both the public elementary and Catholic teachers’ unions voted in favour of strike action. Public secondary school teachers have already taken to the picket line in Sudbury and Durham region, with warnings that the Ottawa could follow, although the discussions con-

tinue amongst bargaining parties in that area. On April 24, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association returned a strike vote of 94.2 per cent in the wake of an unpalatable bargaining proposal from the provincial government. In a media statement, the association stated that the strike vote was not the result of the provincial Liberals’ recently-released austerity budget. “The initial proposal includes provisions, many of them non-monetary,

that eradicate the most fundamental of teacher’s rights,” reads the statement. “The government is using the provincial deficit as a smokescreen to allow school boards to take equitable, long-standing rights away from teachers.”The release cites school boards gaining the ability to dictate working conditions as one of the reasons for the strike mandate, ending with an appeal for their employer to return to the bargaining table. The Elementary Teachers’ Fed-

eration of Ontario, meanwhile, could see its members hitting the streets on May 10, having received a no-board report from the province’s Ministry of Labour. The legal strike position was also announced on April 24. “A ‘no board’ report doesn’t mean negotiations have ended,” said ETFO president Sam Hammond in a media release. “ETFO continues to be open to meaningful bargaining that meets the needs and respects the professionalism of our members.

It has been eight years of fundraising for the team and along the way many of them have had their own battles with cancer to fight. The addition of a digital mammogram machine at their hospital has made all of the difference. There have been many different members of the Heelers and each one of them has made considerable contributions to their cause. “There are those of us who are diehards,” said Enright, “we are determined to clear that debt,” she said referring to the group of team

The Winchester Hospital Heelers started organizing in 2006, and have raised money for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital ever since. In 2007, a year after the original Winchester Hospital Heelers team was formed; the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation offered the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation a tremendous opportunity: enter a team in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, and see 75 per cent of the funds raised by that team returned to WDMH for local cancer care. Now that the Weekend to End Womens’ Cancers is no longer running, the Heelers are still organizing events, however 100 per cent of the funds will go to cancer care close to home, at WDMH.

Saturday June 6, 2015

And, on Saturday, June 6th, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is sparking a lemonade stand movement and hosting the 3rd annual Cardel Homes Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium presented by Palladium Insurance. Sarah Bickford and her three kids - Olivia, 11; Gwen, 9 and Elliot, 5 – they have already begun to recruit their team members for the Lemon Bursts stand. This year they are going bigger than ever, enlisting the help of 12 families and involving more than 27 kids. They will all be volunteering at multiple stands in their Nepean neighbourhood and out front of Fresco’s on Elgin Street. “I know how hard the struggle with cancer is,” explains Sarah, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphona in 2007 when her youngest child was just 18 months old at the time. “As a family we wanted to do something to give back – and this is something that we could all do together. It’s really great and the kids love it, and the response they we get is so incredible. People are so generous.”

GREAT PRIZES TO BE WON! PROCEEDS BENEFIT

Over the last two years of the campaign, more than 600 kids have hosted hundreds of stands and helped to raise close to $120,000 in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Team Ronick/Team Kang has been one of the top fundraising stands each year, led by 10-year-old Ronick Kang his little sister Maeya. They host their stand in honour of their grandma, Balwinder, who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. “I was really sad and I wanted to help her,” explains Ronick. “I found out about the campaign online and it just grew from there.” Ronick says the key to his success is finding the right stand location – one with a lot of foot traffic. This year their stand will once again be located close to the Starbucks, near the corner of Terry Fox Drive. Ronick and Maeya have ambitious plans for their stand – and have already got their parents and aunts on board the project. “We are going to paint homemade signs, have music at our stand and bake chocolate chip cookies to sell too!”

Looking to keep slim and trim? Add more fats… healthy ones that is! Eating healthy fats like avocados help us feel full longer thanks to the release of a hormone called leptin. Research shows eating low fat foods often increases our appetite causing us to

Avacodo Lime Soup

This cool and velvety soup is a perfect pick me up and great for your metabolism! Avocados have healthy monounsaturated fat (MUFA) which helps you feel full longer and reduce your cravings. Research suggests exercise burns MUFA more rapidly than saturated fat which means that the MUFA in avocados will be burned more quickly than the saturated fat found in meat.

eat more overall. Avocados are also known as our alphabet fruit because they are rich innutrients beginning with A to Z… Vitamin A for immunity, B for energy, C for glowing skin… and Zinc to help support your adrenal glands and reduce your reaction to stress! You can add avocados to your smoothies, salads and soups!

4 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted 3 Tbsp lime juice 1 Tbsp white miso paste ( or a touch of sea salt) ¼ tsp paprika 4 cups coconut water Sea salt to taste

Mind

Did you know that more deaths are caused by being inactive than obesity? The Health Institute of Canada recommends getting at least 150 minutes of activity every week. Think about that, every week has 10,080 minutes, so after completing your 150 minutes of exercise that still leaves you with 9,930 minutes to eat, sleep, work, and do your hobbies! That’s only 1.5% of your week. Try breaking it up into three 50 minute workouts, or five 30 minute workouts People who are inactive are more likely to see their bodies lose strength, stamina, overall mobility than those who are active. Active people are shown to live 8 good years longer than those who are not. Do find the time and in the end you’ll have much more it!

Clean-up crews fan out to mark the arrival of spring Brian Dryden

R0013240157/0423

brian.dryden@metroland.com

Spring has sprung and that has residents throughout the area springing into action to clean up their communities, getting them neat and tidy as the mercury rises and the debris from this year’s long winter is exposed in the welcome warmth of sunshine. In Manotick, members of the local Kiwanis chapter will be rolling up their sleeves for their semi-annual Village Clean Up Day on Saturday, May 9. Twice a year, in the fall and spring, the organiza-

tion sponsors a clean up where members of the Kiwanis are joined by other volunteers to spruce up the appearance of the historic village. Clean up volunteers will gather at Miller’s Oven (1137 Mill St.) at 8:30 a.m. for breakfast before fanning out at 9 a.m. to start their work. Manotick Kiwanis club secretary Rick Coates said there are usually 10 to 20 volunteers each clean-up who get involved. “It varies a lot,” he said of how many people turn up to help. “It all depends on what the weather is like,

what else is going on that weekend. “This year we have some cadets coming. That is good, especially for along the riverbanks. Some of us are getting older, you know,” Coates said with a laugh. The Osgoode Community Association organized its own clean up on April 25, where prizes were given out to volunteer clean up teams that collected the most garbage. The winning team, Team Dawna Hamilton of Modern Living Realty, brought in 872-lbs. of garbage. Team Leroy Trin-

ity Trashers placed second with 406-lbs., and Team TBCO collected 220-lbs. of trash for third-place. A number of businesses and groups helped the clean-up effort in Osgoode, including Busy Bee Bins which provided use of its refuse bin, Foodland donated food for a BBQ and use of its parking lot for the event, J.D. Swallow provided the competition prizes, Coun. George Darouze covered the cost of shelter rental, and Osgoode Co-operative Nursery School provided face painting at the post clean up BBQ.

May is Chip Your Pet Month

0507.R0013259718

Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. May is Chip Your Pet Month — a perfect time to get a microchip for your furry companion. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized

microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost

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

from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. Dates for upcoming OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www. ottawahumane.ca/microchip. For more information, call 613725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

An open letter to our fans, from the Ottawa Senators What a ride! The last two - plus months have been an incredible run, as our team came together to overcome the greatest deficit in NHL history to qualify for the playoffs. This year, we had a major loss within our family and fought battles both on and off the ice. We stuck together and persevered knowing we could achieve our goals. In February, when the odds were stacked against us, this team started to roll. When we starte d to win, we could feel that something special was happening. We couldn’t put our finger on it at the time, but knew it was different. We know you felt it too – we know this because once the team started the run, you wouldn’t let us quit. You were loud and supportive at home. You filled Canadian Tire Centre during the team’s road games, and the crowd waiting for us at the airport when we arrive d from Philadelphia blew us away. You changed the mood of the entire city. You pushe d us to keep going when the odds were against us and we responded. Game 6 may not have gone our way, but the ovation you gave us before we left the ice was one of the most incredible moments of the entire season. As we leave to go our separate ways for the summer, we want you to know this – there has never been a Senators team more excited for next year. Thank you, fans! Sincerely, Your 2014-15 Ottawa Senators

May 24 was the gateway to summer activities and traditions

t was especially warm that April. The snow had long since gone, and the days were warm enough that the roads were no longer muddy ruts, and we could even see spring buds coming out on the trees. Our winter clothes, including our despised long underwear, had been packed away, and we could smell the mothballs Mother had generously scattered into the trunk in the upstairs hall where our wool sweaters and other heavy clothing would sit out the hot summer months. The creek at the bottom of the West Hill had receded, and the Bonnechere River had settled into a gentle current cutting through the lower reaches of our farm. Spring was warm

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories enough to be called summer, and that was all it took for my three brothers to decide it was now time to go swimming in the Bonnechere, even though the month of May had yet to begin. Of course, Mother put the kibosh on that idea. There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it. My brother Emerson said if they waited that long, the summer would

be half over at the rate we were going. Emerson went outside to the big thermometer that was nailed to the house with “Supertest” in bright yellow letters on top. “It’s 75 degrees,” Emerson wailed. “I don’t care if it says 100! There will be no swimming until the 24th of May,” Mother said, slamming the screen door shut with a bang. Father came from the barn

Bonnechere could easily be nothing more than a trickle, and the summer would be half over, and that would be the end of swimming. My older and much wiser sister Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour. The leaves were yet to come out, but the vines were thick enough that the sun had yet to penetrate. I thought, since I seldom had Audrey all to myself, that this would be a good time to ask her what was so important about the 24th of May. “Well,” Audrey said leaning back in the old wood swing, “Mother says a lot of things should wait until the 24th of May, and a lot of things change on that day too.” I waited for Audrey to

to get a cold glass of water, using his battered straw hat as a fan. He took his red polka-dot handkerchief out of his back overall pocket, and wiped his face, sending streaks of dust from the hayloft down his face. “Sure is hot in the barn,” he said. Emerson was joined by my brothers Everett and Earl in a plea for a dip in the Bonnechere. Well, they could have saved their breath. There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it. Emerson wanted to know what was so important about the 24th of May. He reminded Mother that was almost a month away, and by that time, at the rate we were going, with the heat and all, the

speak. She looked like she was falling asleep. I was sitting across from her, and I nudged her with the toe of my shoe. “I’m thinking. I’m thinking,” she said. And then she rhymed off a few things, which made little sense to me, but obviously were important to Mother. “Well, you will see that Mother never wears a summer hat to church until the 24th of May. She said in New York any woman caught wearing a summer hat before the 24th of May would be considered a woman of poor taste.” Audrey took a long breath. “And you certainly wouldn’t wear white gloves before then for the same reason. And that same goes for summer shoes too.” See MARY, page 30

Ladybug, Ladybug, fly away home Your house is on fire and your children are gone, All except one, Sweet Charlotte Ann, And she hid under the frying pan. (~Nancy Drew, Ghost of Thornton Hall)   h my goodness the ladybugs are aggressive this year. Well, to be more precise, the Japanese beetles are taking over. I would post a photo of my south-east facing bedroom window to demonstrate just how many bugs we have, but I wouldn’t want to gross anyone out. It’s obscene. We have had one or two hangers-on over the winter but

The Accidental Farmwife as soon as it started to warm up and the sun really began to beat down on the window, those two put out their signals, their sonar and their scent and attracted others. By the dozens. I vacuumed them up every day, sprayed the window frames with bleach cleaner, and the next day they were back. In bigger numbers. It was obvious we had a problem when the bugs ran us out of our room. It had been

a busy few days and I hadn’t had time to vacuum. By nightfall on the third day, the bugs were binging around the room like blind bats, smashing into things in their panic to get to the light at our bedside tables. We tried turning the lights out and going to sleep. Because I had inadvertently left my closet light on, the bugs had left their window and gathered up on the ceiling around the heat of the bulb. When I added

R0013048294

the soft glow of the bedside lamps, it started them moving around the room. As soon as we turned the lights out, the bugs began dive bombing us in bed. Then I felt one crawling up my leg. Under the sheets. And one on my face. That was it. We picked up our pillows and went to the spare room, shutting the door on our bedroom and sacrificing it to the bugs. The next day I sat down to research ladybugs. Or Japanese beetles. They choose a sunny, warm, south-facing window in which to reside until it is warm enough to head outside. They do call their friends, by way of the pungent odour that they emit. This smell is strong enough to call other bugs from miles away, apparently. If you believe what you read on the Internet. Most ladybugs have enough energy stored up during the summer to sustain themselves through the winter. They just need water. Sitting in that sunny window all day without water will just dehydrate

them. That’s how most of them die: dried up little shells of former lady beetles on my window sill. And that’s why we occasionally find one or two intrepid explorers in the bathroom. They are looking for water. So you can put a small bowl of water on the window sill, for the ladybugs. If you put a drop of soap in it, they won’t be able to get back out, and they will drown. After reading about these amazing little creatures, however, I wasn’t too excited about killing them all.The most humane way to get rid of them, of course, is to use a shop vac and then empty the live bugs outside. But if it’s cold outside they will die anyway. Someone has made little ladybug houses and sells them online. I found myself wondering if that would actually work. Could we co-exist with the Japanese beetles? I need one of those ladybug houses. You put a little cup of water inside, without the soap, and they are happy in their little

wooden chalet all winter, on your window sill. I stood in front of the window today and counted my ladybugs. Twenty-five in the sun, fifteen in the sudsy water of the death bowl. The natural deterrents such as clove and garlic did not work – but they did make my room smell interesting. I didn’t try moth balls. I don’t think that would be safe to breathe in. I think there are definitely less ladybugs each day than the day before. It’s getting warm enough for them to go outside, where they can eat the aphids off my rose bushes – and be eaten, in turn, by the robins pulling worms beside the sprouting peonies. It’s a rather macabre ecosystem we live in, but I think I have our little slice of it under control, for now. I need one of those ladybug houses. Pardon me while I go fetch my vacuum.   dianafisher1@gmail.com theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

no idea what plants getting hit with frost, wearing a summer hat and white gloves and summer shoes, and swimming in the Bonnechere all had to do with the 24th of May. I mulled over all she had said, and I figured, next to Easter and Christmas, the 24th of May must surely be one of the most important days of the year. I couldn’t wait for that date to roll around, and I decided right then and there, I would write in my diary all that had happened on that date.

And then Audrey reminded me of the many little flat wood boxes of sprouted seeds in the kitchen waiting to be put into the garden. “Never, ever, has Mother transplanted those boxes until after the 24th of May. You’re too young to remember, but one year she planted every last box, and two days later, the frost came, and killed every last one of the plants.”I had

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 You are a mystery lately, Aries. No one is quite sure what you will do next and you may like to surprise. But share your plans every so often with those closest to you. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, surround yourself with positive people who maintain optimistic outlooks. Many opportunities will open up if you keep a positive attitude. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may resist social activities this week at first, but soon you will get swept up in the fun and lose your inhibitions. Use social activities as a way to network. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you are thinking about a career move, it’s about time you put your plans in motion. This week you may find you are full of energy and ready for a new challenge. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a renewed sense of enthusiasm has you eager to get started on future plans. Perhaps a new course of study will suffice and pave the way for new experiences. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A chance encounter with an old flame stirs up feelings you didn’t realize you still had, Virgo. Even if these feelings are less dramatic, you’re still tempted to act on them.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it is up to you to initiate action in a situation that leaves you somewhat uncomfortable this week. Don’t hesitate to step up and take charge. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 A difference of opinion may be highlighted at work this week when you are confronted by a coworker, Scorpio. Act with integrity, but be firm with your resolve. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may try to stop you from having fun, but you are determined to enjoy yourself. Your entire week is focused on having a good time with friends and family. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, although you cannot control all of the changes in your life, you do have firm control over your personal health. Don’t put off revamping your diet and exercise plan. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, close friends will keep you pretty busy over the next few days, but you can handle it. Let off steam with a few different fun activities when time allows. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Use caution when making decisions this week, Pisces. You can be prone to impulsive behavior, and you don’t want to find yourself in trouble. 0507
