News - They may not be as catchy as the new “Thunder Road,” but newly approved names for Osgoode roads will honour the area’s history.

It’s part of the city’s effort to clean up duplications in its rural numbered line and concession roads.

The goal is to alleviate confusion and prevent emergency responders from heading to the wrong road.

The following changes were approved for the numerical line roads located east of the Rideau River in Osgoode Ward: • 2nd Line Road will become Murdock Road • 3rd Line Road will become Forget Road • 4th Line Road will become Dalmac Road • 5th Line Road will become Swale Road • 6th Line Road will become Pioneer Line Road The changes will begin to take effect in March of 2014 and Canada Post will offer property owners a year of free mail redirection.

As with all commemorative renamings, the process wasn’t easy, said Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson.

“This issue is very stressful on everyone,” he said. “It is really a very emotional issue.”

Supporters of an eleventh-hour effort to rename 6th Line Road as “Diesel Road” to honour a young man who died on that road last fall. More than 1,000 residents signed a petition lobbying for Diesel, the nickname of 22-year-old hunting accident victim Andrew Winnicki.

But Thompson said the effort came too late, after residents on the road had been consulted and voted for a new name – Pioneer Road.

The Diesel name would have also created the same problem the renamings are trying to fix – it would have duplicated the name of another city street.

Kathy Zlomislic has retired from her job as postmaster in Kenmore after 45 years.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Postmaster retires after 45 great years at post office in Vernon Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - When Kathy Zlomislic accepted the job as Kenmore’s postmaster in 1968, she had been married a mere six months and was pregnant with her first daughter. Mail was still delivered Monday to Saturday and the Internet was decades away from threatening Canada Post’s monopoly on mail.

Forty-five years later, the 69-yearold has closed up her home office once and for all – and, in today’s economic climate, doesn’t expect anyone to take up her post. “(Canada Post) couldn’t find any-

one bilingual,” Zlomislic said. “(But) I don’t know how much they even wanted to find another person.”

Super boxes have been installed behind the Kenmore community centre where people will now collect their mail – relying on chance meetings with a neighbour to catch the local gossip instead of paying their daily visit to Zlomislic’s home.

Zlomislic said she’ll miss that part of her job most of all. “They’d come in and we’d chat,” she said. “People would open their parcels and say, ‘Look what I got.’ You really got involved with people.”

Zlomislic’s last day as postmaster was Saturday, Aug. 31. Once she

closed up shop around noon, her house filled with dozens of wellwishers wanting to thank her for her service. I didn’t realize I was getting so famous,” she laughed. It’s no surprise so many people knew her.

Montreal-born Zlomislic maintained a standard routine that didn’t change much over the years, even as the volume of mail declined.

She opened the post office from 9 to 12 a.m. weekday mornings, and again from 3 to 5:30 p.m. in the afternoons. On Saturdays she offered a few morning hours for people to collect their mail or send a parcel.

Post office in Vernon is a community tradition Continued from the front

Zlomislic was responsible for sorting all of Kenmore’s mail into the 130 boxes inside her office, which many people came to check every day.

She also sold stamps, sold and doled out parcels and processed money orders.

All the while, she managed to raise her four children at home.

“It was in my home, so I didn’t have to drive anywhere,” she said. “I didn’t have to get a babysitter.”

Zlomislic said times are changing for Canada Post, which is trying desperately to cut costs as mail volumes and

She didn’t notice a huge decline in Kenmore, because even as individual mailings went down more people were moving into the area, she said.

In the early 1990s Zlomislic even had to expand her office to accommodate more boxes for a new subdivision. But Internet access has begun to take its toll.

“At Christmas people weren’t mailing as many cards and parcels,” she said.

“Lots of people cut back because they figure it’s too expensive.” Canada Post has been toying with the idea of cutting delivery back to four or even three days a week, instead of five, a move Zlomislic worries would just compound the problem, as customers flee to more accommodating methods of communication.

ONE LESS THING In Kenmore, the loss of a post office is just one more blow to the already shrinking village.

“This was quite a booming town at one time years ago and this was our last thing left,” said Francis Bowman, who was born and raised in Kenmore. “It means we have to go to Metcalfe or Russell for stamps and everything. It makes a big difference.” Community association member Donna Warren lobbied to keep a post office in the village, and the fact that it’s gone is a sore spot, she said.

“Kenmore’s not very big,” Warren explained. “We used

to have a general store and we don’t have that anymore, and now we don’t have a post office.

We basically just have a park.”

Losing Zlomislic’s daily contact is also difficult.

“She’s always been there for everybody,” Bowman said. “I think we’re all unhappy to see her retire but after 45 years she really earned it.”

Zlomislic said she plans to take a few small trips with her husband Peter and enjoy her six grandkids and brand new greatgrandson. But it will take some adjusting to her new, more laidback routine. “It’s going to take me a while to try and sleep in,” she laughed.

Album drops in support of mental health will resonate across the continent and even the world.

“The goal is awareness.

When it comes to sales, it’s up to every community to reach their own goal by deciding they’re going to support this,” he said. “I have to focus on how can we change attitudes and who can we save. That’s really important to me.”

hopes of creating some of that buzz. In the end, though, Pegg simply wants to spread the message that suicide is not the answer. “My key message is everybody suffers setbacks in their lives, so be compassionate with yourself when you stumble and especially to others when they stumble,” he said. “Give them understanding and compassion.”

who died by suicide in 2010 at the age of 14.

The cornerstone of the album is a song called Weight, which Pegg wrote after a conference for the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention last year.

It deals directly with the issue of suicide and how parents must carry the weight of that loss. It also asks those with suicidal thoughts to “please wait” before taking such a devastating step.

Pegg has committed to donate 100 per cent of Weight’s proceeds to mental health programs in perpetuity.

Another important song on the album, Pegg said, is called Last of the Hot Summer Days, and draws parallels between the terrorist attacks of Sept.

11, 2001 and the pain parents feel come September when their child is no longer there to send off to school with the other kids.

People understand the tragic nature of homicide and accidents, Pegg explained, but they often don’t consider suicide in the same context.

“My intention was to draw the parallel that parents are forever affected (by suicide), just like the United States will forever be affected by 9/11,” he said.

Shoe drive a big step for kids in northern Canada Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Walk a mile in a northern kid’s shoes, and you’ll be sending them yours in no time.

According to Kit MacKinnon, co-owner of the Foodland in Greely, many kids across Nunavut and the other northern territories live in poverty, and can’t afford a new pair of shoes for school.

“School’s starting soon, and we have kids who need shoes,” MacKinnon said. Principals across the region have been emailing her with lists of exact sizes for specific kids they know will not have proper indoor shoes this fall.

More requests are expected this week as students show up for school, since many couldn’t be reached by phone or internet beforehand.

The way to help, MacKinnon said, is to bring new running shoes for school-age children to the Foodland in Greely. Volunteers will sort the shoes and Canadian North airlines will deliver them to needy communities throughout the month of September.

MacKinnon and her daughter

Shannon Watson started the drive in August, after a teacher they know in Iqaluit mentioned that a lot of kids must go without new shoes.

The MacKinnon family already hosts the Nunavut Snowsuit Fund at their store later in the fall, which last year sent hundreds of snowsuits to the north. MacKinnon also operates a fly-in retail business to the north.

The original impetus to help families in the north came from the Scrivens family in Metcalfe. Their son Christopher Scrivens, then 21, had been working for Air Nunavut and flew through many of Nunavut’s outlying communities over the course of his 10 months on the job. When his mother Patti-Anne Scrivens came to visit him he asked her to bring warm clothing for local children. From there, the pair devised a larger plan to collect warm essentials for these communities from their home in south Ottawa.

New running shoes can be dropped off at MacKinnon’s Foodland on Meadow Drive in Greely, or at Larga Baffin on Richmond Road in Westboro. “People have already started bringing in shoes but we need lots more,” Watson said.

Rather than push the issue, supporters of the Diesel Road renaming will refocus their efforts on commemorating Winnicki in a different way, Thompson said.

“They came a little late to the process. I explained things are probably not going to change … so they inquired about other suggestions,” Thompson said.

“They’re moving on.”

Supporters of the Diesel Road renaming did not attend the meeting and could not be reached before this newspaper’s deadline.

Given Winnicki’s love of sports like baseball and hockey, a charitable sports tournament in his name might be a good

option, Thompson suggested, or friends and family could pursue sponsoring a ball diamond or other sports feature in his name. “’Diesel’s Diamond’ is something I liked,” Thompson said.

The Diesel Road proposal wasn’t the only controversy plaguing the road renamings.

Patricia McCaffrey came to the agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting on Sept. 5 to plead the case that 5th Line Road should be named after her ancestor, Thomas McCaffrey.

McCaffrey is already used as a name for a different street in the city, but it commemorates a different family.

Four McCaffrey families still live on 5th Line Road, and

20 residents she spoke to who live there supported her idea, she said.

“They came a little late to the process. I explained things are probably not going to change … so they inquired about other suggestions.”

DOUG THOMPSON

“Everyone I talked to did not favour Swale Road,” she said.

Another 5th Line Road resident, Harvey Linton, stuck by the Swale name.

It commemorates a small

schoolhouse that has a storied history of being moved back and forth along the stretch of road, he said, depending on the whims of the school trustees at the time. During one move, it mysteriously burnt down.

“I think it has a but of a history there with it,” Linton said.

“I would like to see it carried on.”

Thompson had another reason for supporting the Swale name. There were at least four families who live on the road ready to battle to have it named after them if the city decided to ditch the Swale Road suggestion and re-open the debate.

“I think it would cause a huge turmoil,” he said. “We’d have to start all over again and there would be a real battle.”

Keep an eye out for the kids

I

t’s that time of the year again when Ottawa motorists start seeing a lot more yellow on the road in the morning.

Starting in September, fleets of school buses flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools.

Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, but the French public and Catholic boards opened a week earlier.

The colour yellow in motorist’s language always translates to one word: caution.

Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners.

Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion.

We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected.

Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or a friend waiting at a bus stop.

Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September.

They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus.

It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street.

By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing.

Yes, this causes delays, but the dangers of stealing back a few seconds of commute time by sneaking past a school bus with its signal lights flashing can be tragic. That’s just not worth it.

If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isn’t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fine upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motorist’s driver’s license.

And that’s only for a first conviction.

Each subsequent offence can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment up to six months.

Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyone’s responsibility.

We’re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

Let’s have a chat about sports team names

H

aving an intelligent discussion about offensive sports team names is easier if you concede right away that the teams don’t mean any harm.

The Nepean Redskins, when they adopted their name in 1981, didn’t mean to offend anybody. If anything, they probably wanted to honour the Washington Redskins, a National Football League team, whose logo is virtually identical.

Nobody meant to denigrate native people.

Nobody probably thought much about it. Team names are adopted, people cheer for the team and not much thought is given to what the team is called. I mean, the Ottawa Senators? Has anybody really thought about it? No fan thinks when he yells “Go Senators!� of Mike Duffy or Pamela Wallin.

The official explanation, that “Senators� refers to ancient Roman Senators, might be even more ridiculous. Why would a hockey team in the Ottawa Valley be named after some Romans? Romans never played hockey.

Ottawa is about to have a football team called the RedBlacks. I don’t think many people, if any, know what a RedBlack is, but we will dutifully cheer for such a team. Probably, because names get shortened when yelled from the bleachers, we will be chanting “Let’s

In the context of the Redskins discussion, it should be noted that there are some team names that are happily accepted by native organizations, such as the Seminoles of Florida State University. But for the most part, times have changed. Over the last couple of decades, team after team has either abandoned names such as Redskins or Braves or Indians or changed mascots and logos to more neutral characterization.

The Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians both used to have an allegedly native face on their caps – the Indian one was grinning, the Braves one was screaming. Now members of the Cleveland Indians have a “C� on their caps and the Atlanta Braves have an “A.�

mascot used to be the Stanford Indian. Now it is the Stanford Cardinal. In Ottawa, our new professional basketball team was going to be called the TomaHawks, for about a minute.

Very soon after the announcement was greeted with a chorus of outrage, the TomaHawks (whose name was meant to honour a type of dunk) became the SkyHawks.

As for the Washington Redskins, they carry on, but more than a few news organizations refuse to use their name in game stories. The Redskins are called “Washington.�

So if political correctness is behind the attempt to get the Redskins to change their name, well, there’s a lot of it around, all over North America. And on the odd occasion being correct just simply means being right.

It’s true that some name changes have not been particularly well-motivated. In the early 1950s, baseball’s Cincinnati Reds changed to the Cincinnati Redlegs. This is because of the Communist scare associated with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Communists were often called “reds� and the owners of the baseball team decided that discretion was the better part of valour. Within a few years, Sen. McCarthy went away and the Cincinnati Reds reclaimed their name.

Aside from the financial aspect (which the

main complainer has offered to help with), there doesn’t seem to be much of a downside to the Nepean Redskins choosing an acceptable name. Theirs was a borrowed name in the first place and a Rename the Redskins contest might generate some new interest in the team.

Such a contest might produce some names that resonate with our Ottawa Valley heritage.

Senators is already taken and somebody somewhere might have the rights to Rough Riders.

Nobody wants anything to do with Renegades any more, but somebody with imagination should be able to come up with something.

Think lumber, not politics.

South Nepean commuter park-and-ride set to open in January with 334 spaces Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Commuters could make their connections at a new parkand-ride lot by January.

The city plans to have 334 new parking spaces available at the Nepean Woods park-and-ride, at the corner of Strandherd Drive and Woodroffe Avenue.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said the new lot will become even more essential when the

R POPULA BACK BY

Strandherd-Armstrong bridge is completed in about a year’s time. The bridge will allow bus routes that currently serve only Riverside South or Barrhaven to be extended to serve both communities and provide connections across the Rideau River.

The Nepean Woods park-and-ride will likely become a hub for those and other routes to meet.

“The park-and-rides in Barrhaven and all the suburban communities are tremendously popu-

lar,” Desroches said.

The park-and-ride at Fallowfield and Woodroffe has been reconfigured to serve the maximum number of cars but is now at its ultimate capacity.

The Nepean Woods lot

will start with 334 spaces, but Desroches said another 428 spots could be added if demand grows.

The new park-and-ride will also have multiple shelters for commuters to wait for buses.

The Strandherd-Armstrong bridge will be capable of carrying rail but a timeline for trains has yet to be established.

Desrcoches said that will depend on provincial and federal funding and how the city grows.

News - Looking at the Minto Recreation Complex today, it’s possible to imagine swimmers in the pool and skaters lacing them up for hockey or figure skating.

There’s little more than year to go until the centre opens at Cambrian and Greenbank roads and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder says construction is on schedule.

“This is the largest recreation development in the city since amalgamation,” Harder said of the centre, which will cost $55 million to build.

A press conference to update the public was held Sept. 4 next to the construction site to mark the installation of the huge wooden beams that will form the ceiling of the sixlane, 25-metre pool. The beams are made from laminated wood and are expected to be one of the most memorable features inside the building.

Matthew Johnston is an architect with Perkins and Will Canada. He said the wooden beams were chosen for their aesthetic appeal as well as the material’s ability to deal with high humidity inside the pool area.

A few steps away, heat won’t be an issue inside two arenas. Perkins and Will have selected an air-handling system that will capture excess heat from the rinks to preheat pool water, part of a design that is expected to receive an environmental certification that acknowledges green design.

Both rinks will be NHL-regulation size, with one designed to also accommodate

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

A construction vehicle sits at the future centre ice of one of the Minto Recreation Complex’s two rinks as construction workers form the spectator stands. The centre is expected to open on schedule in the fall of 2014 at the corner of Cambrian and Greenbank roads. sledge hockey players, with plastic windows along the bench boards and no door sill to prevent sledges from entering and exiting the bench area. From Cambrian Road, passersby can see the spectator seating area for one rink starting to take shape, as well as the wooden beams above the future pool. Other features planned for the centre include a wading pool, gym, a cardio and weight room, an indoor running track and multipurpose rooms that can be used for activities like meetings, yoga or child care.

Outside the building will be an artificial turf field for soccer and football complete with lights for nighttime use.

Johnston said the completed Minto Recreation Complex will have about 14,000

square metres of space, similar in size to the Walter Baker Centre in Barrhaven, minus its library branch.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said residents of rural south Ottawa will enjoy using the centre. He said his children have taken swimming lessons at the Walter Baker Centre and the growing community of Manotick always has plenty of demand for ice time.

Construction contractor EllisDon chose the Sept. 4 update event to hold a barbecue on the site for construction workers and visitors, and used the funds raised to help CHEO buy child seats for parents leaving the hospital. Donations from diners and EllisDon totalled $5,000.

A funny thing happens when you tell kids they matter.

They believe you.

An alarming 40,000 kids drop out of high school every year. Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada are committed to changing that. They provide a safe and supportive place where kids can develop confidence and life skills. They offer programs like Rogers Raising the Grade to help kids with their studies. The Club is a place where kids can drop in, so they’re less likely to drop out.

OSU players David Chung, Ryan Massoud and Matteo de Brienne returned from Madrid, Spain after a successful week at the famed Real Madrid Soccer Academy.

As part of small group of selected players from OSU’s USA based partners, Dallas Texans, the boys received a unique inside into the soccer secrets of the world’s highest valued soccer brand, Real Madrid. Training twice a day for a week at Real’s exclusive soccer center located close to the Barajas Madrid Airport, with Real’s full time academy coaches, the group quickly realized the demands and high expectations required to develop into a top level player.

Progress became evident as the week progressed as the boys realised that technique, intelligence with the ball and simplicity was priced above all by the Real coaches.

The group also attended the season opener between Real Madrid and Real Betis at the famed Bernabau stadium attended by over 90,000 spectators.

OSU President Bill Michalopulos stated “ this was a unique and exclusive opportunity from any player from Canada to be inside the house of the famed Real Madrid Soccer Club.

This opportunity was made possible thanks to our valued alliance with the Dallas Texans. It was a tremendous learning experience for our players, one that they will hopefully use as a motivator for further development.

We expect that other similar opportunities will become available to OSU players as our plans and actions to develop the best possible soccer players in Ottawa continuous”

Onsite septic a cost-effective alternative to public systems Wastewater centre promotes rural innovation with workshop Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – As budgets shrink and costs rise, many rural municipalities could find themselves in deep doo-doo as their wastewater management infrastructure crumbles underneath them.

But the Ontario Rural Wastewater Centre was helping to keep communities out of the brown on Sept. 4 with an all-day workshop exploring the potential for onsite septic systems and other decentralized options to cut costs, protect water supplies and relieve infrastructure pressure.

“We’re at the cusp where technology can solve the problem and you don’t need the big pipe,” said Terry Davidson, director of regulations at the Rideau Valley Conser-

vation Authority, which partners with the ORWC run by the University of Guelph.

The workshop began at the Baxter Conservation Area, where the ORWC has a demonstration centre.

Several presentations explored case studies and new advances in septic system technologies before the group took a bus tour to several innovative sites in the south end of Ottawa.

One of those sites was the Quinn Farm development in Greely, which will become the first development in eastern Ontario to use nitrogenremoving onsite septic systems.

By cutting household nitrogen output in half through an innovative septic system, the developer won the city of Ottawa’s approval to build more residences within a smaller area – and that’s a good thing, Davidson said.

“You can keep good agricultural land while intensifying with onsite systems (so) let’s intensify by using technology,” Davidson said. “People need to live somewhere.”

Shadow Ridge, another

subdivision in Greely, was also a tour stop because it offers a unique combination of private and communal systems: private homes have their own septic systems, but they pump to a communal bed.

Several industrial sites were also included on the tour, because job creation and innovation is key to building a sustainable rural community, Davidson said.

“It’s not just about building houses,” he said. “We want to show that (industries) can be looked after with (decentralized) technology now.”

Roddy Bolivar is a water resource specialist and engineer who worked on Manotick’s transition to the city’s public sewer and wastewater system several years ago.

He said there needs to be more innovative solutions for communities than just the two polar opposites we currently have: namely, small private onsite septic systems versus the big public treatment plants.

“In 5,000 years, how do we only have two solutions and a brick wall in between?” he asked the workshop partici-

list of innovative septic solutions across Canada can only lead to more innovation, which is important if the province hopes to stem the costs associated with ageing infrastructure, energy and climate change.

A number of those innovative systems are on display at the ORWC’s demonstration centre. Bionest, for example, uses an extended aeration fixed film reactor to break down effluent.

Other systems are aerobic, some use peat and others reduce nitrogen.

As technologies rapidly develop, change is still slow to

pants.

Part of the problem is that the provincial policy statement dictates large, public systems should always be considered the best solution first, followed by public communal septic systems and then private onsite systems.

But Bolivar said that approach limits a municipality’s ability to customize a solution to their needs – including their bottom line.

He argued that environmental assessments should instead be left to decide the best solution on a case by case basis.

He added that a growing

come – lags in policy changes and experience at the Ministry of Environment can slow down approvals for new technologies – but Ontario is getting there, Bolivar said.

“If you go look for these technologies they’re out there, but you have to break down a few walls to figure out how to use them,” he said. “We’re in a planning era but I think we’re tipping over to an innovation era and that’s going to provide you with new opportunities to deal with wastewater in your communities.” The ORWC will host another municipal tour and workshop in June 2014.

Schools struggle to meet demand for dyslexia testing In the second of a three-part series, we look at the resources available for children with dyslexia at Ottawa’s public and Catholic schools Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Tracy Armstrong noticed something was wrong when her daughter was in Grade 1.

Her daughter, who was in a French immersion class at a local public school, was having trouble learning to read.

She isn’t alone. A study done by the American National Institute for Health says that nearly 20 per cent of the population has dyslexia. The International Dyslexia of Association Ontario branch, places that number at 15 to 20 per cent of the population.

That breaks down to four or five children in each classroom who have some degree of the learning disability.

“One in five kids have dyslexia, they should be doing better,” Armstrong said of the school boards in Ottawa.

Armstrong, who lives in Nepean, said her daughter’s first grade teacher wasn’t receptive to what she felt were warning signs of the learning disability.

Most parents don’t notice anything is amiss until school starts, but according to “Challenging the Myths: Erasing the Stigma of Dyslexia”, written by private school founder Shelley Holloway, they start much earlier.

It can start with the late development of talking compared to their peers and difficulty learning the names for shapes, colours, letters and numbers. Even poor articulation – like saying “gispetti” instead of spaghetti, can be an early red flag.

Holloway began her research into dyslexia after volunteering to help read to children at her son’s school.

“It was Grade 1 and he wouldn’t remember from day to day what sound a letter would make, we made very little progress,” Holloway said, adding there wasn’t a lot of support available then.

Dr. Tim Hogan, the head psychologist for the Ottawa public school board, said there are a number of reasons a child would have trouble reading in Grade 1, and letter reversals may not yet be a cause for concern.

“In Grade 1, I would say about 40 per cent of the cohort would experience those 14

problems to some extent,” he said. “Teachers will try to correct mislabeling letters or associating them with the wrong sound. If we continue to see they’re not sorting it out in Grade 2 then we might look to other methods.”

But Armstrong said the longer the school waited, the more difficult things became for her daughter.

“We had a much more receptive teacher in Grade 2 but we didn’t want to wait any longer so we had her tested privately,” Armstrong said.

This testing is the coveted psychological assessment that would help to determine whether or not her daughter had a learning disability. The tests are done by the school boards, but the wait lists are long and many parents get frustrated with lengthy waits and subsequent barriers to in-school resources so they seek assessments from private psychologists – either paying out of pocket or using health insurance if they have it. Armstrong said the first test she had done cost $2,200.

Hogan said that while he feels the Ottawa public board is one of the better-resourced systems in the province, many parents are stepping outside the system to get their kids tested.

Hogan said there are 23 full-time equivalent psychologist positions within the public board.

There are an additional 30 speech and language pathologists that serve the board’s more than 100 schools.

Hogan said typically each psychologist is responsible for up to eight elementary schools, based on the school population and the needs, and they may spend half a day per week at each school, or one day every two weeks.

“Each school identifies five priority students each year to be assessed,” he said, adding a psychologist’s job within the board involves a lot more than just doing assessments.

There is no set list of criteria, determining which student is picked for assessment, and the testing would look for markers of any of the Ministry of Education’s 14 defined exceptionalities – everything from the gifted to autism.

A study performed by the American National Institute for Health says that nearly 20 per cent of the population has dyslexia. of dyslexia, said she suspects the children who act out are the ones who get placed on the list.

“The student who is suffering silently at the back of the class won’t get noticed,” she said.

Hogan said learning disability classes are not meant to serve as a placeholder for students with behavioural problems. He added more parents seem to be coming to the school with assessments in hand.

“I don’t know if the issue is more prevalent or there are more private psychologists available,” he said. “But special programs and resources can be made available before the formal testing.”

Chief psychologist for the Ottawa Catholic school board, Elizabeth Paquette, said from the school’s perspective, the first step for intervention with a reading difficulty is not psychological resources or intervention.

“First we would do remedial reading, give the student extra time to process for tests and rule out other potential learning disabilities,” she said.

There are 11 full-time equivalent psychologist positions in the Catholic board and each would be responsible for 10 schools. Much like the public board, each school

identifies five priority students each fall to be tested.

“We would look at students who are very withdrawn and don’t want to be in school,” she said.

Paquette said while an assessment doesn’t have to be done for an individualized education plan, it must be done for the learning disability classes available for grades 4, 5 and 6 students.

“The system classes are more strategy based,” Paquette said.

Paquette said she has been working in the school system for 25 years and the diagnostic tools are becoming more refined, but the assessments have also become more complex.

“There are challenges, there is a bigger caseload now,” she said.

No matter what test is done, the results will never be listed under what Armstrong feels is the proper name for the condition. Dyslexia is not in the diagnostic manual used by psychologists, meaning many are reluctant to use the term.

As a result, it is often referred to as a language-based learning disability.

Linda Barbetta, head of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton, says she thinks the broad-based term does a disservice to stu-

dents.

“It’s too generic and focuses on accommodation rather than remediation,” she said. “I think it would be very costly to educate teachers on dyslexia and the teaching methods though if the school boards started to use the term.”

Hogan said in the early days of his professional career, the term dyslexia was still being used.

“It’s no longer a DSM (diagnostic manual) classification, but that doesn’t mean the phenomena has changed,” he said. “In all likelihood, it’s a learning disability with a neurological basis.”

Hogan said focusing on the fact that the child has a reading problem and has difficulty with language or math skills, should direct the student to the resources.

But Rob Kirwan, who heads the public board’s special education advisory committee, said with the growing number of recognized learning disabilities and dwindling funding, resources are tough to get.

“It becomes a case of pitting kids with (attention deficit disorder) against kids with autism as they compete for dollars,” he said.

The testing process can also be complex to navigate.

“A parent who is just struggling to pay the rent or that is new to the country, may not recognize that a student is having trouble learning to read,” Kirwan said.

Holloway, founder of Mindware Academy, a private school for children with learning disabilities, said that people with dyslexia require specific one-to-one remediation.

“Schools often lack the time, the money and the specific skills to offer such remediation,” she said. “But by labeling the condition as language difficulty, schools are free to use other methods of remediation.”

Holloway says these methods have little to no success with the dyslexia learner.

Based on her experience, Armstrong said she agreed.

“The first test was kind of inconclusive,” Armstrong said.

“It showed she had a strong likelihood for having a learning disability.”

The test recommended Armstrong’s daughter, who was enrolled in French immersion and was having difficulty learning a second language, switch to the English stream.

The test also indicated difficulty with reading, writing and working memory – all common traits for someone

with dyslexia.

Armstrong’s daughter was moved to an English program, but there weren’t many supports in place.

In the meantime, her daughter became introverted and quiet.

“Her anxiety was extremely high,” Armstrong said. “When (students) are anxious, they can’t learn. They are on overload.”

Despite her concerns, Armstrong said she was dismissed by the school and even some of her friends.

“I had people tell me that if I wasn’t so stressed out then maybe she could read better,” Armstrong said.

By Grade 4, Armstrong said she still felt everyone was dismissing the situation.

She was asked if her daughter was born late in the year – she’s a January baby, or if her daughter was getting enough reading practice at home.

“Meanwhile her personality started to change,” Armstrong said of her daughter, who began to sleep less and withdraw at school.

There were supports in place, but Armstrong said they often left her daughter feeling isolated.

“One teacher discovered that if she was tested orally, she would perform much better because she wasn’t limited by her writing,” Armstrong said. “But they would make her answer the questions on a recorder in the hallway by herself. How must that have made her feel?”

At the beginning of Grade 4 she had her tested again.

The same psychologist who saw her in Grade 2 retested to fill in the blanks.

“She came back right away with a diagnosis of dyslexia, and I thought we would get all this support because now I had a diagnosis,” Armstrong said.

But that wasn’t the case.

In-class accommodations were varying depending on the teacher and the reading support wasn’t there, Armstrong said.

“Because she was in Grade 4 and they don’t teach them to read after Grade 3,” she said.

So Armstrong and her husband decided to spend $3,000 on a private, week-long course called the Gift of Dyslexia.

The course uses multi-sensory teaching techniques.

“Basically, there’s 220 words in the English language that don’t have a picture associated with them. The point is to find a way to teach them those words. It’s clay and picture based.”

Nuit Blanche promises good time for the whole family Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Arts lovers, night owls and other curious parties are invited to take a tour of Ottawa and Gatineau under the stars to be surrounded by art.

Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau will begin at dusk on Sept. 21 and will end in the wee hours of the morning of Sept. 22. The show will see more than 200 artists, business on both sides of the Ottawa River and other local partners participating in a street exhibition unlike anything on display at a gallery.

In the fall of 2012, Nuit Blanche Ottawa took place for the first time in the capital, as a one night-only affair based on similar events in Toronto and Montreal. The funding and organization was provided by BRAVO-Est, which received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Taking place in the Byward Market and Westboro, visitors had the opportunity to observe local art in all its forms from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m.

The inaugural event featured 160 projects in two areas

of the city that were viewed by a total of 30,000 people. There were multiple family-friendly events, gallery showings and performance art to visit and observe and this year, the organizers say the intention is to bring back all the success of last year and to expand the festival to include sites in Gatineau.

Still in its infancy organizers decided to expand to include Gatineau artists and business, because Megan Smith, a curator at Hintonburg’s Orange Gallery and one of the event’s organizers, said art doesn’t stop at the river’s edge.

“The reality was the artists came from both sides of the river and we feel it’s important to see it as a region, not just as one province,” Smith said.

“This allows people to support artists in their own city.”

In Gatineau, the show will take place on Laval Street, which according to Smith has a really thriving arts and nightlife scene that made it a natural location for the show.

The Museum of Civilization will also play host to an event, with its own art project in which people can partici-

pate. Communities in Ottawa participating are Lowertown, Centretown and Hintonburg.

The organization will offer free shuttles throughout the evening for people looking to visit as many sites as possible.

“There will be four shuttles in the core space - downtown, ByWard, Gatineau and Sparks (Street). You can just hop on and off throughout the night,” Smith said.

“Try to visit as many as you can. Go until you can’t walk anymore. I recommend have a good pair of shoes and save energy and take the shuttle.”

She said there are really creative individuals and projects this year, including a children’s zone on Guiges Street in Lowertown presented by ArtEast and Guild 240. This exhibition includes storytelling and the promise of an explosion of colours, where young artists and local artists can create artwork throughout the evening.

A full list of artists, exhibitions and programming for the evening is available online at nbog.ca. A map has also been made available online, to help

people plan their art routes for the evening. Smith encourages everyone, regardless whether they adore art or not to pay a visit to the event.

“I think it’s really worth the experience,” Smith said. “Every city has a different vibe and ours is really community based - what it allows people

to do is experiment and experience art in the streets and that is something that doesn’t happen every day and it’s definitely worth the journey.”

One particular Renfrew Fair left a lasting impression

L

Jobs, Growth & Long-Term Prosperity

A majority of Canadians believe that economic growth and long-term prosperity remain the most important issues for our nation. That is why our government has been working to keep these issues as our main focus.

We have delivered.

Since July 2009, Canada has added nearly one million net new jobs, a majority of which are full time positions in the private sector. In a time of global economic uncertainty, we have outperformed all other G7 countries in job creation during this time.

We have achieved this by keeping taxes low and controlling government spending.

Throughout my terms as Member of Parliament, our government has passed over 150 different tax cuts, including cuts to income tax and the GST. It is working. The federal tax burden is now the lowest it has been in 50 years, and personal income taxes are now 11% lower overall compared to rates in 2006.

Our government has recently introduced measures to target international tax evaders by granting the Canada Revenue Agency more power to track these people down. This ensures that all Canadians pay their fair share.

To remain prosperous in the future, we have to get out of debt. Even though Canada has the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7, our government is committed to paying it down.

By 2015 we are expecting to return to balanced budgets which will allow us to do this.

In July, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced changes to the federal Ministry.

He unveiled new faces and steady hands which will continue to keep taxes low, control government spending and put our finances on a sustainable path. In the Fall session of Parliament, the Governor General will deliver a Speech from the Throne outlining a renewed policy agenda. I look forward to the new session and will remain focused on the important issues at hand – jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.

ifestyle - Weeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair, but I couldn’t get the picture out of my mind.

It haunted me when I lay in bed at night and many times during the day.

Had Uncle Lou not sent Mother money with the sole purpose of taking us five children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year.

Mother said money was scarcer than hen’s teeth and that year we may have to miss the fair.

It would have been the first time ever and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me.

But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most.

So crisp bills arrived in the mail. Not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying “enjoy the fair.”

So we were going after all.

The usual preparations took place: a big lunch packed in an 11-quart basket, shards of ice from the ice house in a glass jar

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories of iced tea, sugar cookies, and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions.

There was no such thing as plastic containers or Saran wrap back in the 1930s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass and we were all set.

Mother had doled out Uncle Lou’s money to each of us to spend as we wished. My sister Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or two and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Mother’s egg money.

The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food – there was plenty under the blanket on the grass.

Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking and Father would head

for the livestock. Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days.

I knew where the blanket was and I would be perfectly safe to come and go as I pleased.

Audrey said she would give me half an hour and that was it.

Then I was on my own.

I told her I would like to just walk around and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were, knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside.

I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana. I have no idea what was in the tent, but Audrey assured me it wasn’t suitable for the eyes of a sixyear-old.

We wandered on, me holding

tightly to Audrey’s hand, passing one tent after another, each one looking very forbidding to me.

Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man who looked like had hadn’t seen bath water for a year was honking through a horn inviting people in to see what he called “the oddities of mankind”.

I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant and she said just to look up on the stage.

There stood two little people, their hair had been cut close to their heads and they stood just a few feet tall. Their faces were wrinkled and even at my young age I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage.

They looked so frightened and the man kept yelling out to the people in front that for a quarter – “just twenty-five cents” – you could go into the tent and have a closer look.

My heart went out to those two little people on the stage, in the blinding sun and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the man’s hands and go to the little people and put my arms around them.

I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter to turn away, look the other way.

And I started to cry. My eyes connected with one of the little people and her face I thought softened and I smiled in her direction.

But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look.

I asked my sister why people would pay to see two such pitiful people and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind.

That year the rides didn’t seem as much fun and the candy floss not as sweet.

The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were.

When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our “silent prayers” I remembered the two little people and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, the hot tent and the eyes of strangers.

Southwest stuffed sweet potatoes are healthy side dish Lifestyle - Here is a healthy, colourful, kid-friendly meal – and vegetarian too. Cutting the sweet potatoes in half to bake shortens the cooking time considerably. Grill up extra corn and roast a red pepper for this dish. If you like a little heat, kick it up with hot sauce or serve it on the side for the adults. Serve with a salad.

Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 40 to 55 minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, about 375 g (12 oz) each • vegetable oil • 250 ml (1 cup) cooked corn kernels – about two cobs

• 250 ml (1 cup) canned black beans, drained and well rinsed •125 ml (1/2 cup) diced roasted sweet red pepper •3 green onions, sliced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper • 125 ml (1/2 cup) shredded jalapeno havarti, cheddar or mozzarella cheese PREPARATION

Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut in half lengthwise.

Brush the cut sides with a little oil. Place, cut side down, on a parchment paper-lined shallow baking sheet then bake in

a 190 C (375 F) oven until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with knife -- about 35 to 45 minutes.

Let them cool enough to handle then scoop out the flesh, leaving a one-centimetre (1/2-inch) shell.

In a large bowl, mash the flesh until smooth. Fold in the corn, beans, red pepper and green onions, then season with cumin, salt and pepper.

Spoon the filling into shells and return to the baking sheet.

Sprinkle each half with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of cheese.

Bake them until heated through and the cheese melts, for about five to 10 minutes.

Queensway Carleton opens one-stop diagnostics Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com News - Women’s health got a shot in the arm on Sept. 4 with the opening of the breast centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

The Shirley E. Greenberg breast imaging suite brings together multiple forms of testing in one place. The goal is to have patients – overwhelmingly women – get all the tests they need in one private and comfortable place and in as short a period as possible.

It’s expected that the hospital will perform about 5,500 mammograms, 1,400 breast ultrasounds and 2,600 bone density exams in the new suite in 2013-14.

With advances in technology, such as digital mammography, and the larger space in the suite, patients can often move between ultrasound, mammography and bone density machines in a single visit, instead of having to make multiple trips for each service.

If concerns are identified during testing, patients can be sent to see a surgeon within two weeks of their first visit to the breast imaging suite, said the hospital’s diagnostic imaging manager, Shawn

O’Rourke said that having enough space to provide all the breast suite’s services improves the outcomes for patients.

“We’ve got everything that we need and ... we will buy new equipment as the community grows,” she said.

MILLION DOLLAR DONATION

A donation of $1 million from Shirley E. Greenberg helped the QCH Foundation build the new imaging suite.

The Greenberg family has provided volunteer and financial help to the hospital for many years, including funding for the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre, which opened at the hospital in 2010.

Irving was also the chair of the hospital’s first-ever fundraising campaign.

Hospital board chairwoman Clare Becton introduced Shirley to an audience at the opening of the breast suite.

“Shirley’s support for women’s health in this city has been legendary,” Becton said.

Shirley spoke briefly – drawing the biggest laugh of the day – before taking a tour of the breast suite and unveiling a sign.

“I have a new hip,” she said, thanking the medical staff who performed the operation.

“I’m only sorry the rest of me doesn’t match.”

She wished the staff “a bright and ever-better future.”

Edwards’ artist Norman Pirollo’s On Fire! is on exhibit at the annual National Capital Network of Sculptors Dimensions sculpture exhibition. The large-scale sculpture show opens on Sept. 12.

Arts - More than 20 local artists will showcase some of their best work at this year’s premier sculpture show in Lowertown.

Dimensions is presented by the National Capital Network of Sculptors will take place from Sept. 12 to 15 at St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts.

Twenty-eight sculptors from across the city will showcase two or three pieces each at the exhibition.

Admission is free and many of the artists will have their work for sale, as well as on display.

Norman Pirollo will have three works featured at the exhibit.

The Edwards-based wood carver said this exhibition is the main event of the year for the sculpture organization.

“It’s an art sale and an exhibit all in one,” he said.

A furniture maker by day, Pirollo said he picked up sculpting because it offered him more artistic freedom

than his regular job normally affords.

“Sculpting is more freeform, it’s more interesting, and not rigid. It’s beauty and artistic,” he said.

Pirollo’s three pieces will follow a fire theme, with the pieces resembling flames.

The four-day show will open at 6 p.m. on Thursday night with a visit from Mayor Jim Watson, and will include free wine and food.

The Friday evening, from 6 p.m. onward, will see every artist in the show on-hand for patrons to meet and speak with.

On the weekend the show is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

An annual event, the show will feature something new this year – one artist’s piece will be on display outside the centre.

“It was too big to fit inside, so you will be see it from the street,” Pirollo said.

The goal is for that particular piece to encourage area residents and tourists visiting the ByWard Market to stop by and check out the show.

Aside from the outside installation, there will be sculptures of all kinds inside, including stone, bronze, mixedmedia and “3D” art.

“There is something for everyone at this show,” Pirollo said.

“You will get to see the best sculpture work from the region.”

OrlĂŠans teen takes Ottawa Idol contest Brier Dodge

Arts - Last time she competed at Ottawa Idol, she was runner-up.

But there was no second-place finish this year for singer Lindsay White, the 16-yearold who won Ottawa Idol on the long weekend.

The St. Peter High School musical theatre student performed close to home, as the final round was held at the Place d’OrlÊans Shopping Centre on Sept. 1.

She didn’t compete in 2012, but finished as runner-up in the 2011 competition. “I was shocked, I was so happy,� said the teen. “There were so many amazing singers; the judges said it was really tough.�

At school, Lindsay is part of the high skills musical theatre major, show choir and the school musical.

She looks up to singers like Carrie Underwood, Adele and Beyonce for inspiration.

Now that she’s won recording time in the studio, she’ll be able to professionally record a song. She’d like to find someone to write an original song to record. “I’m going to want to do my own song, but I don’t have it yet – so I have to work on that first,� she said.

Second-place finisher was Stittsville’s Jennifer Lauren, and in third place was Nepean’s Antonio Pezoulas.

The 17-year-old Antonio just started Grade 12 at Mother Teresa High School, where he’s active in school musicals.

He’s also sung at local festivals like Greekfest, and enjoys combining differ-

Last year, Antonio finished in the top six performers in the competition. “I’m glad that I did better than last year, and that’s all I set out to achieve,� he said.

Metcalfe officer to temporarily lead Lanark county detachment

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Acting Inspector Stephanie Patterson has learned a lot she hopes she never needs to use in her new role.

The Metcalfe resident took over as the acting detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP on Aug. 12, following the announcement of the retirement of outgoing Insp. Gerry Salisbury. Before coming to eastern Ontario, however, Patterson took part in one of Ontario’s most wellknown recent disputes.

Several years ago, a tense land dispute erupted between the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation and developers of suburban housing in Caledonia in southern Ontario.

As part of the OPP’s provincial liaison team, Patterson worked with the First Nations’ people, “building bridges with them,” she said.

Overall, the tense situation “was challenging, absolutely.

There was a lot of dialogue that had to go on. My role was explaining what the OPP’s role was there.”

“I always had an inkling about policing,” said Patterson. “You don’t always know what you want to do when you get an arts degree.”

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation requirements in the northwest Stittsville area, specifically along Carp Road from HWY 417 to Hazeldean Road as illustrated in the key map.

Consultation There will be on-going public consultation activities during the course of the study. This first Open House will provide an overview of study progress to date, including the evaluation of alternative corridor alignments and an overview of design alternatives which will be considered in next phase of the study.

the members. Consistency is part of what makes things run smoothly.”

Also, she and her officers are too busy with the end of summer rush to try to deal with any new changes. “(It is) a busy time in the policing world, and resources are stretched with people on vacation,” she said.

The population of the county increases as cottagers head to their second home, boaters hit the lakes and rivers, and both clog up the county’s roads.

“I expect that the long weekend will be busy,” she said of the Labour Day holiday.

On the personal side of things, at the end of her hourlong commute each day, she has a husband, a lineman for Hydro Ottawa, and two sons, one entering Grade 8, the other entering Grade 11.

She enjoys golfing in the summer, curling in the winter, and best of all, “I love going to the rink to watch my boys play hockey,” she said with pride.

“My husband is a good guy,” she added. “He’s the main taxi,” considering the unpredictable hours of police work.

Falls.

After her stint there, she began her time with the liaison team in Caledonia, followed by a posting to Napanee and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, during the Robertsville Mine protests.

She returned to eastern Ontario as a detachment commander in Napanee, essentially the detachment commander’s second in command.

She then transferred to the same position back in Long Sault in the United Counties of Stormont, Glengarry, and Dundas.

Her final move has been to the East Region headquarters outside of Smiths Falls, where she will return once Salisbury’s replacement has been found.

“They gave me this opportunity and I have gladly accepted,” she said.

Already, after so long seeing Salisbury at the head of the local police hierarchy, with a new commander on the horizon, possibly as soon as November, big changes “may happen with the new person… everybody had a different leadership style.”

To enact any major changes now, “would not be fair to

Mother feels let down by Ottawa public school system For the first time ever Armstrong said her daughter felt like someone understood her style of learning. But the success was short lived.

“I would go into her school and work with her when she would have been having French class,” Armstrong said, adding by then she had quit work to be available to help with her daughter’s schooling.

“But we found that unless she was doing it everyday and it was incorporated into her schoolwork, it wasn’t helping.”

By Grade 5, Armstrong knew the gap between her daughter’s reading and writing ability was greater than the school thought.

She refused to sign the school’s individualized education plan because she felt the supports weren’t working.

Another test showed she was right.

“I was shocked when they told me they didn’t want to change anything,” Armstrong said, adding the school told her they felt they could close the gap the next school year.

“She’s always loved school though, that’s the weird part,” Armstrong said.

“If only teachers could channel that and teach her the way she needs to learn, then she would soar.”

By the time her daughter hit Grade 6, Armstrong said she had had enough and enrolled her daughter in a private school designed to help kids with dyslexia and other learning disabilities.

Now she’s in Grade 8, and while there’s still a gap, they’re working with the school to close it.

“The best part now is she knows she’s not alone,” Armstrong said, adding her daughter is much more confident.

“It’s not the academic piece as

much as the confidence, because once you shatter a kid, it’s very hard to build them back up.”

But the tuition cost $15,000 a year.

“I feel fortunate we can afford it,” Armstrong said. “If she has dreams we want her to be able to realize them. But I feel very let down by the public school system.”

From tutoring methods to tax credits, Armstrong said she plans to start a

website to help other parents who are navigating the path from diagnosis to remediation.

“I feel like we made some mistakes along the way, so if we can take away the learning curve for other parents then I feel good about that.”

Aries, you may not like scheduling too many things in advance, but sometimes it pays to plan and let others know your schedule so their minds are at ease.

You may experience a financial windfall this week, Taurus. It may be a good time to ask for a raise or to play the lottery. Luck is on your side in the coming days.

Gemini, expand your horizons and your path to success will be illuminated. Creativity will bring new opportunities and people into your life this week.

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!

Share your optimism and enthusiasm with others, Cancer. You may prove unable to contain your happiness, so don’t be surprised if those around you pick up that vibe.

Libra, your heart is set on a lofty goal, but you recognize all the hard work necessary to make that goal a reality. Give it your best shot, and you will be glad you did.

Scorpio, you may convince yourself that now is not the time to spend money on something that will make you feel good, but there is no reason to let fear get in the way of happiness.

A friend or partner could open up a window of opportunity for you, Sagittarius. Make the most of this opportunity, and success will soon follow.

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t get much done this week, Capricorn. There are many enticing distractions, and you can afford to devote some time to trivial pursuits.

Aquarius, this week may allow you to have your cake and eat it, too.

Friends may be envious of your luck, so be sure to share some of your good fortune with those around you.

Pisces, devote ample time to your personal life this week. A few things need sorting out, so don’t hesitate to put other matters on the back burner.
