Hydro Ottawa, province in talks over rural power Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Hydro One and Hydro Ottawa have begun a formal con-

versation about who should provide power to the city’s rural residents.

Media the leaders of the two companies met in Ottawa the week of June 15 to discuss bringing 45,000 Hydro One residents into the city’s fold.

And so far so good.

“We had a very fruitful meeting,” said Conrad, who added there’s already “some stuff on the table.”

“We’ve got an open dialogue … so hopefully we can get to a resolution,” he said.

Right now rural customers in wards such as Osgoode, West Carleton-March and Rideau-Goulbourn remain with the provincial Hydro One distributor, despite living inside City of Ottawa boundaries.

Those customers were not transferred to the municipallyowned Hydro Ottawa during amalgamation in 2001.

It wouldn’t be an issue except those rural customers have complained of higher distribution costs and poor reliability compared to their urban counterparts.

Neighbours on either side of a street are sometimes split by the hydro boundary – and when they compare bills, those on the provincial side often find they’re paying as much as 30 per cent more.

The dual-distributor system has caused other bizarre divisions too. Place d Orléans Mall, for example, is serviced on one end by Hydro Ottawa and on the other by Hydro One – meaning half the building can lose power while the rest stays lit.

The issue has surfaced several times over the past 15 years – most recently this spring, when Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais passed a motion at council asking the province to allow the

city to bid on its own residents – but the two distributors have never been able to strike a deal, usually because of the asking price.

But if a deal isn’t finalized by then, “It’s not the end of the world,” Conrad said. “I’d rather get a good deal than a fast deal.”

“This is a positive step forward on this issue.

As discussions are ongoing and this process needs to unfold, we look forward to further updates from Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One.” Energy Ministry spokesperson Jennifer Beaudry

Previously, estimates have put the price tag at about $94 million for the customers and the infrastructure that serves them.

It’s early days, but Conrad said he’s hopeful he can have some sort of draft deal to share with Ottawa residents before Hydro One goes ahead with its initial public offering later this fall.

The provincial government is putting 60 per cent of its company on the market to raise money for infrastructure and transit projects.

He said any agreement between Ottawa and the province would be separate from the public sale process.

Neither Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli nor Mayor Jim Watson were immediately available for comment, but Energy Ministry spokesperson Jennifer Beaudry said the department is “pleased both sides are talking.”

“This is a positive step forward on this issue,” she said in an email.

“As discussions are ongoing and this process needs to unfold, we look forward to further

updates from Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One.” The ministry’s mood wasn’t nearly so warm in the spring, when it blamed the city for the stalled negotiations because it wouldn’t take part in a binding arbitration process to decide on a price.

Watson said at the time that he would only support absorbing the city’s rural customers if rates for current customers would not go up as a result.

Mayor Watson did address the issue of the two power suppliers within the City of Ottawa at the recent Greely Community Association annual general meeting on June 10.

He said that the issue is one of fairness, and that all Ottawa residents should pay the same hydro rate.

“You are all Ottawa taxpayers, you should have the same rates,” Watson said.

“We have to get a fair deal, it’s the right thing to do,” Watson said.

The much-anticipated boat launch dock beside Bridge Street in Manotick is expected to be in place by the end of this month.

“It`s looking really good that we will have the dock in operation this summer,” said Mel Roberts, a Manotick Village Community Association board member who has been lobbying for the reinstallation of a boat dock at the site. A previous dock at the site was removed by Parks Canada in 2012 after the land in question was sold to the City of Ottawa.

Roberts said the dock has been ordered and now it is just a matter of when work starts on the structure.

“I believe it can be completed fairly quickly once they start on it, we just have to wait our turn,” Roberts said. ”We don`t have a date, but it should be ready towards the end of July.”

For the past three summers, boaters have had to either climb into their boats before launching from their trailers, or else wade into the shallows waters and jump in from there.

This summer’s soapbox derby in Manotick is going to be a special one for kids with special needs.

For the first time, the annual end of summer event in the village scheduled for Sunday, August 30, will include Super Kids races that give youngsters with special needs an opportunity to participate in the fun.

“What is different this year is that we are including races for Super Kids,” said Sheila Dubyk, vice-president special events for the Manotick Village Community Association, of the international program created to provide children with special needs the opportunity to take part in the sport.

The Super Kids program uses custom built two-seater derby cars specifically designed to allow children between eight and 18 years of age who have a physical or developmental challenge to participate.

“MVCA is delighted that the Canadian headquarters of Super Kids in Peterborough is lending us two of their special carts this year so that we can offer children with special needs in the Ottawa area with the op-

portunity to participate in a soapbox derby,” Dubyk said, adding Manotick’s derby in the only one in this area to offer the Super Kids program this year.

The carts on loan from Peterborough are expected to arrive in Manotick on August 16.

Registration for the event at Centennial Park, next to the Manotick Arena, is well underway with all information potential participants need available at the MVCA’s website (www.manotickvca.org).

Along with the races to be held on the soapbox racecourse on the Beaverwood Road, the races and picnic in the park will also include music, a craft table for children, face painting, balloon figures and a BBQ lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers.

Participants must be at least seven years of age to race and can purchase a kit online, or make a race cart from items found around the house. Specifications for the carts can also be found on the MVCA website. The MVCA also has a limited number of carts available that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community for youth who do not have a racing cart. The MVCA has 14 available slots for riders in

the seven-sponsored carts.

Promotion of this year’s soapbox derby shifted into high gear in June during Manotick’s Dickinson Days weekend June 5-7, soapbox derby organizer Allan Haan said.

“Dickinson Days was the kickoff of the publicity for the derby. I’m organizing the derby as we speak,” said Haan, who was recently honoured at the MVCA’s AGM for his service to the association. Haan’s last day as a MVCA board member was at the AGM on May 28.

Haan, who remains very active with community events through his work with the Manotick branch of the Canadian Legion and his ongoing involvement with the soapbox derby, said the reason he stepped away as a board member of the MVCA is that he couldn’t guarantee he could attend all the meetings.

“I’ve got so much going on,” he said, adding although he’s not a MVCA board member any more he remains as active as ever with community events in Manotick.

“Absolutely, I am staying involved,” he said. “I’ll continue to do as much as I can for as long as I can.”

Week In RevIeW Saturday, June 20 to Friday, June 26 *** Please note this will be the last “Week In Review” over the summer months. This section will resume again in September. Thank you in advance for your understanding. *** I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather. It’s wonderful to see so many residents enjoying the sunshine and making the most of the nice weather. As the school year is now over, I would like to take this opportunity to remind motorists that there will be more kids at play. Please keep an eye out for them on their bikes and walking around our neighbourhoods. We want this to be a safe and enjoyable season.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the CFS Leitrim Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps for the invitation to their Annual Mess Dinner. It was a very nice evening and I was honoured to be included in this special event. This week has also been one to remember for many families in our community as they celebrate high school graduation. I had the pleasure of attending the graduation ceremonies for both St. Mark and Osgoode Township High School and presenting the Osgoode Ward Bursary Awards. Congratulations on achieving this important milestone and I wish you all the best in the future.

As Committee meetings are starting to wind down for the summer months, there were only two held this week including: Information Technology Sub Committee and City Council. Transportation Committee will be held next Tuesday, followed by Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee on Thursday. There will be one more Council meeting on July 8 and then both Committee and Council meetings will take a break and resume again at the end of August. This will allow for some “catch up” time for me and an opportunity to spend more time in the Metcalfe Ward office.

I’m very excited about Canada Day and I look forward to participating in the many events planned throughout the day in our Ward. I encourage all residents to celebrate this special day for our country with family, friends and neighbours.

My office will remain open throughout the summer with regular office hours of Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.

Youth get financial boost The Osgoode Youth Association was more than happy to accept a cheque for $5,000 from the Scotiabank branch in Osgoode June 24, money tied into the OYA’s recent Goode Run event. The $5,000 from the bank brings the total raised through the run, the OYA’s main annual fundraiser, to $30,000 this year.

Hospital pays tribute to cancer care donors Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

The Ottawa Hospital depends heavily on the kindness and generosity of everyday citizens when it comes to funding cancer research and care, and on June 23 it showed its gratitude in a lasting way.

A donor wall listing the names of more than 700 Ottawa residents was unveiled outside the critical care wing of the Ottawa Hospital’s cancer centre, located at the General campus.

The wall puts faces to the $40.5 million donated towards cancer care in Ottawa since 2008, and highlights the importance of community involvement in specialized healthcare.

“The way philanthropy makes a difference is that the provincial funding provides the hospitals with a standard of care, but philanthropy takes it beyond the standard of care,” explained Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

“The latest clinical trials, research techniques, robotics, Cyberknife – that’s 100 per cent funded by the community.

“It’s critical to expand research and provide a service people can’t get anywhere else,” Kluke said.

Choir changes the lives of African children Brian Dryden brian.dryden@metroland.com

Uplifting gospel music and African songs and dance will enliven two area churches when a choir dedicated to helping educate African children and has entertained the Queen in the past, performs in Greely and Orleans in July.

The African Children’s Choir, which is on a cross Can-

ada tour that started in June in Nova Scotia and ends in B.C. in November, will perform at the Community Pentecostal Church in Orleans (1825 St. Joseph Blvd.) at 10:30 a.m. and then move on to Greely for a show at the Parkway Road Pentecostal Church (7275 Parkway Rd.) at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 5.

The concerts are free to attend, but donations to support

the African Children’s Choir’s programs will be accepted to help support the choir’s education, relief and development efforts.

Tina Sipp, choir manager, said the 80 minutes performances are lively shows that mix contemporary Christian gospel music with traditional African songs and dances.

Making time for the kids

A

s if freedom from classes weren’t enough, councillors and staff at city hall have given children across Ottawa another reason to cheer by moving forward with new guidelines for booking sports fields and ice surfaces.

This new policy will help ensure scheduling is done in a manner that should see kids get the best crack at time on soccer fields, ball diamonds and rinks during times that are best suited for young athletes. In a society where kids are stuck in front of screens more and more, anything that makes physical activity more accessible – and less expensive -- is worth exploring.

What city staff has devised is an end to the practice of recognizing “historic use,� which sees teams and organizations that have used a surface at a specific time in the past favoured for that time slot and location when new schedules are produced.

Tighter deadlines for giving up unwanted time slots, granting clubs and associations more scheduling flexibility and stricter criteria for when adults are able to book “prime time� slots are also part of the

changes being put forward by the parks and recreation department.

These changes will hopefully have the effect of not only making more time slots available, but will also help newer clubs and leagues – such as girls hockey – secure less expensive city rinks and fields, rather than paying for private facilities, which cost more. That raises the cost to play, which in turn acts as an obstacle on the road to growing those sports.

Opening up as many recreational opportunities as possible for as many different segments of society as possible should be among the top goals of this city. The more chances people – and especially children – have to be active, the better our city will become. An active city will be a healthier city, and a safer city. Any more changes council can make with this in mind would be most welcome.

Children and parents should be very happy with this move by the city. The rest of us should be happy too, even if it means some adult hockey teams need to start playing at different times during the day or night.

his is the week when we gather together to celebrate Canada or just run off to the country and let someone else do it.

Ottawa has Canada Day down to a formula. The run-up is predictable: a big announcement is made about the artists who will be playing in the big show on the Hill, followed by gripes from people who say they’ve never heard of the artists who will be playing in the big show on the Hill.

There are suggestions about where best to see the fireworks and there are comments on how ridiculous the suggestions are. And there is always at least one forlorn soul who writes that Canada Day should still be called Dominion Day. After that, the population divides

They don’t mind bumping into their fellow Canadians here and there as long as their fellow Canadians are not drunk and stupid, which some of their fellow Canadians get. All in all, it is a nice scene, if you like that sort of thing – crowds of people showing they’re happy to be Canadians.

and you are fortunate enough to have one, you head for the cottage. If you are even more fortunate, you head for someone else’s cottage.

A certain amount of dealing with crowds is necessary here too, but these crowds are on the Queensway, trying, like you, to get away from the crowds. Fortunately this is not, like Toronto, a city that takes forever to get out of, but in the few moments while you are creeping along, you might be briefly tempted by the thought that it might be more enjoyable to be on foot downtown, wearing something red.

is a bit less solitude than you were counting on. A substantial number of cottage Canadians like to celebrate their country by buzzing around lakes in boats and other motorized things. Still, you’re not elbow to elbow on Elgin Street, are you? And things do calm down at night – until the fireworks begin.

In recent years, there has been research showing that fireworks around lakes can be damaging to wildlife, frightening animals and birds and disrupting their normal activity. No one seems to have paid much attention, despite the fact that the family dog is among those affected.

Today’s cottage fireworks are not to be confused with what happens around Parliament Hill on July 1, but they are not as far removed as they used to be. Originating a half century or more ago with the tradition of little children waving sparklers on the dock, the July 1 fireworks have EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Volunteer chaperones travel with the African Children’s Choir when they are on tour in Canada to make sure the kids are well taken care of as they perform at churches. The choir will be performing in Greely and Orleans on July 5.

“We try and fill every venue we perform at,” said Sipp. “People are quite moved by the performances.”

After they take part in a tour, the children in the choir, who are between seven and 10 years old, return to Africa to continue their education programs. Many have lost one or both parents through the devastation of war, famine and dis-

ease. According to Music For Life, the choir’s parent organization, they represent all the children of the continent and the organization’s purpose “is to help create new leadership for tomorrow’s Africa by focusing on education.”

“Our overall goal for them is to get them educated,” Sipp said of the children who participate in the choir and the programs overseen

by Music For Life. Music for Life is active in seven African countries where it is involved in educational and housing programs.

“They only tour the one time so they can go back and continue their education,” Sipp said of the children selected to be in the choir.

The choir touring Canada at this time is made up of 18 kids, nine girls and nine boys, who are travelling with seven volunteer chaperones and a driver.

As they make their way across the country they are hosted by the churches where they perform.

The volunteer chaperones, who come from Canada, United Kingdom, United States and Africa, are integral to the African Children’s Choir’s success when on tour.

“We are so grateful for the efforts of the chaperone volunteers,” said Sipp. “They are giving up about a year of their life, at their own expense, to take care of the children.

“We are always on the lookout for chaperones,” she said, adding there is a vigorous screening process before a volunteer is taken on tour.

“It’s a very important role, because we are entrusting these children to them,” Sipp said.

Lansdowne in the Summer

By Jim Watson

Despite what some may say about how much fun there is to be had in Ottawa, I am continually amazed at how many exciting opportunities take place daily, in our city.

Each spring, I am impressed and proud to see the multitude of cultures, people and organizations that welcome the public into their respective communities.

This past month, Ottawa made history as a host city to the largest single sport event in Canada’s history, the FIFA Women’s World Cup. As one of the largest sporting events in the world, all eyes descended on Ottawa as we welcomed the best female soccer players from around the world.

Eager to showcase the newly rejuvenated Lansdowne Park to residents, and the world, the City has worked hard to ensure all features of the project are completed and free to enjoy for the summer.

Before the rejuvenation project began, Lansdowne Park consisted of almost 30 acres of asphalt and approximately 230 trees. Compare this to the current 1.8 acres of asphalt and 850 trees; you will see how truly significant this has impacted Lansdowne and its neighboring communities. By transforming Lansdowne Park from an asphalt tarmac into a green park space, it has become a true gathering place, as was originally intended in the 1800s.

In addition to the many recreation programs, events and farmers market that will take place regularly at Lansdowne, other summer features to be enjoyed are; - Skate Board Park - The Water Plaza reflecting pool and “Uplift” monument - Children’s Play Area - Basketball Courts - Heirloom Apple Orchard and the Civic Gardens Free to enjoy for sports with the family or a relaxing picnic; the “park” has finally been returned to Lansdowne through the addition of the Great Lawn. With capacity to welcome 17,000 people, world-class urban park is sure to be a feature enjoyed for generations to come.

If you would like to learn more about events taking place, recreation programs or Lansdowne Park itself, visit Lansdownepark.ca. For other activities and events at Lansdowne, visit tdplace.ca for details.

Toilets, cycling, arts funding all part of pre-budget town hall Residents get an opportunity to voice their budget priorites Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The mayor’s first teletown hall on the 2016 budget process covered every Ottawa issue you can think of on June 25.

For one hour, residents were invited to call in to the city’s first-ever phone conference, where they could listen to the discussion and sign up to tell Mayor Jim Watson what they’d like to see included in next year’s budget.

The mayor, the city manager, the city treasurer and most department managers were on hand for the discussion so that listeners could get the most accurate answers possible.

Watson billed the teletown hall as an experiment to help residents weigh in

on the budget before anything even gets drafted.

Few people actually lined up to talk; two speakers got back in line and had time to ask a second question. And when the hour was up, only two people were left in the queue, according to Watson.

But the people who did speak covered off a capital city’s worth of topics: from public washrooms in the city’s light rail stations to crumbling rural roads to restoring funding to downtown homeless drop-in centres.

Vanier Cycles tweeted at the mayor to ask for more cycling infrastructure funding in next year’s budget.

Watson didn’t promise anything, but he reiterated the city’s commitment to cycling projects; the north-

south bike corridor on O’Connor Street was just approved last month, he reminded listeners.

But he also recognized the city’s cyclists will always want more than what the city has to give.

“It’s probably not as much as some cycling enthusiasts would like, but we are making progress on our cycling plan that was approved in the last council,” Watson said.

It was a similar answer for Kathryn Jamieson, chairwoman of the Ottawa Museum Network, who called in asking for the city to increase support for the Renewed Action Plan for Arts, Heritage and Culture which council approved in 2012.

This year’s strategic initiatives process has scaled back the promised operational funding for local arts and heritage organizations because of affordability.

Watson said the city is doing its part for arts funding by investing $40 million into the Arts Court and Ottawa Art Gallery redevelopment – but they can’t do everything.

“There’s no question the arts are an important aspect to our city’s quality of life,

but we have to balance all of the needs,” Watson said.

That seemed to be the theme of the evening: that the needs of a growing capital city must be balanced with keeping taxes at or below the inflation rate.

Requests for more public toilets in transit stations, increased funding to fix the rural road system and a more aggressive approach to building complete streets were all met with the same answer: that the city’s doing what it can, but taxpayers aren’t made of money.

Watson reminded listeners that under his direction councillors have become disciplined to keep the budget under control; if they want to add to the spending column, they have to subtract something of equal value. That said, Watson said all of the points raised at the town hall will be considered.

“Staff have taken notes and we will make sure they are fed into the budget process,” he said.

A recording of the teletown hall will be posted at ottawa.ca. Comments about the 2016 budget can be sent to budget2016@ottawa.ca or tweeted to the city using #ottbudget.

ell, I played a little bit. There was a birthday party for a friend, and a night out on a patio with another friend.

But, mostly, I worked while the Farmer was away on business this past week.

The cows pretty much take care of themselves, but I have to count them every night. Usually they make this easy for me, walking single file on their diagonal beaten path up the meadow in the heat of the day and again at sunset.

Sometimes, however, the calves huddle together and I can’t count them from the house so I have to pull boots on and go out there to count heads. I’m not sure what the plan is if one is

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife missing.

I guess I go looking for it.

The biggest concern is feeding and watering the chicks – turkeys and chickens. We lost 10 turkey chicks the first week because they were in the barn and a raccoon got to them. Now Chelsea scares away anything that approaches. She paces back and forth like a sentry at her post beside the stable.

I tend to them right after

breakfast and again after I get home from my day job. One of the turkey chicks is feeling his wings and keeps fluttering out of his pen. He doesn’t get farther than the chicken pen on the other side, but every night I have to pick him up and put him back where he belongs.

When the Farmer returns, he can clip his pin feathers or whatever it is he does to keep them on the ground. I’m getting

tired of chasing this one around the pen.

I was bitten the other day while feeding the chickens – not by some kind of bug that I did not see to identify. It was itchier than a mosquito, so I went in search of antihistamine.

Then I remembered I had fed all of the Benadryl to the dog, at the advice of his vet. Cody, at 16 years of age, has developed some pretty severe allergies. He scratched his ears so much they got infected, so I had to give him ear drops. This was a twoman job before the Farmer left.

By day three, the dog was quite familiar with the routine, and he knew what was coming. Now, it’s at least a three-man job.

Morning shave became a captivating event

T

ommy Rohr was that wonderful farm hand who wandered in off the tracks one day.

He was a home boy from England, and begging for a job, he said he would work for nothing more than a bed to sleep on and three meals a day. He ended up with a couch in one corner of the back kitchen, his belongings neatly packed underneath, and with a guarantee of a flat fifty of Player’s cigarettes from Briscoe’s General Store every week as payment for his labours.

Tommy Rohr seemed pleased with the arrangement.

As he often said, he didn’t need much else.

He had a thin, dark skinned, leathery kind of face, and I guess had he allowed it to grow would have had a black beard to match his jet hair.

But all the time Tommy lived with us, he was clean-shaven

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories and meticulous about his appearance, which was the only reason he was allowed to have that first meal at our kitchen table when he wandered in off the tracks. Mother would not tolerate anything but the cleanest of hands, and a face free from whiskers.

Every morning, Tommy would take his place beside Father at the washbasin on the bench beside the back door.

A small wood framed mirror hung rakishly from a nail, and Father’s razor strap was right beside it. Tommy and Father shared the basin of hot water and the mirror, but for Father that is where his hospitality

ended. No one was allowed to use his razor strap, not even Tommy Rohr. And so poor Tommy would use a whit stone to sharpen his black handled razor about once a week. But alas, the whit stone did little to keep the blade keen enough for a clean shave.

I liked to stand beside Tommy in the mornings and watch this ritual of his shaving beside Father. There was never a word spoken between the two men. This was serious business, no time for frivolities.

Father would be done in jig time. He would give his razor a dozen or more swipes on his strap, and then he would get

down to the serious business at hand.

Tommy on the other hand, after lathering his face with the homemade bar of soap, and not having had the benefit of the strap, would take much longer. I would stand there entranced as Tommy dragged the dull razor over his cheeks.

It seemed to take forever to complete one sweep, and I silently wondered if men shaved differently because they came from England.

Father would finish, swish off his razor in the basin of hot water, dry it on the huck roller towel, fold it in two, place it carefully in its felt lined box, and set it on the window sill where it stayed until the next morning.

After Tommy had made several slow and calculated sweeps, I would see little pinheads of blood appear. Tommy would lean into the mirror and look as if he had never laid eyes on his own face before.

I was so fascinated I wouldn’t have moved from the spot if the house caught on fire.

And every time he sprung a leak, Tommy would tear a smidgen of newspaper off a page he had at the ready, and carefully place it over the wound. By the time he was finished, his face looked like lace tablecloth, with all these little pieces of paper stuck to his cheeks.

By that time Father would be settled in at the table digging into his fried potatoes and salt pork. And every time he saw Tommy take another piece out of his face, Father would wince as if he himself had been inflicted.

This went on for ages after Tommy had become part of our household. Finally Father made a gesture that was completely against his principles.

He thought a man’s razor strap was as personal as his long underwear. No one touched it but the man to whom it be-

longed.

But one day Father could stand it no longer. Father went to Tommy, took the razor from his hands, rinsed it off, and began slapping it up and down on the strap. He handed it back to Tommy and said, “now let’s hope that’s the last of the wounding. I guess you’ll have to use the strap instead of the whit stone. Can’t have you bleeding to death every morning.”

It was the end of my fascination with Tommy and his daily shaves. And it was the start of a new relationship between him and my Father.

After all, now they shared a razor strap.

Farmwife lets the grass grow Continued from page 14

My insect bite turned into a circular rash that looked a bit too much like a bulls-eye for my liking. I went to the doctor to get checked for lyme disease. I think she thought I was a bit of a hypochondriac.

I guess I’ve been reading too many reports from the Health Unit on lyme disease and I don’t want to end up in bed for six months like Avril Lavigne.

So I’m in charge of feeding the chickens, supervising the cows and cutting the grass this week while the Farmer is away.

You would think that would

be pretty simple.

So far, the grass is giving me the biggest challenge of all my Farmwife tasks. No.1: The riding mower battery is dead.

So I have to roll the riding mower out of the shed, line it up with my truck and try not to zap myself with the cables while boosting the battery.

I have never done this before, but I’ve seen it on TV. I’m pretty confident I can do it.

No. 2: the Farmer suspects the mower may be out of fuel.

I couldn’t lift the gas can in the shed and that’s a good thing because upon closer inspection, I noted the word ‘diesel’ printed on the side. The Farm-

er says not to put diesel in the riding mower. This morning I put the proper gas can out in the driveway to remind me to take it in to town to fill it up.

Then I drove away without it.

The Farmer has been gone six days and I have yet to succeed at cutting the grass. I’m pretty sure he’s going to come home, look at the meadow, and say, “You had one job, Farmwife. One job.”

Next time I’m going with him on his business trip. We can hire someone to cut the lawn, feed the chickens and count the cows. www.the accidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

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 Your mood is pleasant and playful this week, Aries. It’s a perfect time to plan a social engagement or party at your home. Invite friends and family and have a good time.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take time to find ways to relax and unwind. This could mean removing yourself from tense or competitive situations for a little while until things calm down.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Your imagination is ignited this week, Gemini. This can clear the path for new beginnings. Make sure decisions you make now are centered and empowered.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your energy levels are elevated this week. Make the most of this newfound energy by tackling all of those projects you have been putting off.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 This week brings all sorts of interesting ideas and desires, Leo. There’s much to keep you busy, but make sure you don’t overdo things. Avoid the urge to stretch yourself too thin.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Don’t be surprised if your feelings are all over the place this week, Virgo. The week might feel like a roller coaster, but you will feel great by the end of the week.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, an irritating issue seems to fix itself and that is relieving.

Remember, you do not have to take on everything yourself. Plenty of people are willing to lend a hand.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have lately been more comfortable with your role in life and your responsibilities. It seems you have everything all together, and others may seek out your advice.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, when your imagination is stimulated, there’s nothing you cannot accomplish. This may be an interesting week for you, as restless energy has you seeking an outlet.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may need to look at a problem from another perspective to find the best solution. Discuss your findings with others and see if they have any suggestions.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take things easy and let your intuition work for you, Aquarius. Financial or business-related projects fall in your lap, and you work through them quite easily.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Emotions reach a high after hearing good news this week, Pisces. It’s okay to let your guard down a bit around your loved ones.
