Traffic meeting reports mixed progress on Manotick initiatives mdelaire@metroland.com

Change is in the air in Manotick and it’s not just a matter of cool weather and pumpkin coloured leaves. In a meeting hosted jointly by Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt and the Manotick Village Community Association,(MVCA), roughly 60 residents learned on Oct. 5 about a slew of

traffic related items will be presented in lock-step with, but not as a part of, the proposed additions to the plan. “These are traffic issues, these aren’t secondary plan issues,” Moffatt said. “But because we’re dealing with Manotick issues and because these were items that came up during our review but they can’t be addressed in the secondary plan, these motions are being done at the same time. One motion proposes reducing the posted speed limit on Manotick Main Street to 40 km/h from 50, which would make it consistent with the rest of the village core’s 40 km/h roadways. Moffatt said that the change would require approval from council. A speed study conducted by city staff concluded that 50 km/h is an appropriate speed for Manotick Main Street.

traffic changes planned and proposed for the village’s main roadways. As Moffatt and the MVCA prepare to submit to council a proposal for additions to the village’s secondary plan, a short list of changes not approved by traffic management staff has been drafted to go to council with it. Because the secondary plan deals with development rather than transportation,

Island Road near St. Leonard School. The installation of flexstake road markers and painting of speed limits planned for Long Island Road can be completed without approval from council, and a host of changes to area roadways have already been approved and even implemented. Long Island Road was recently repaved and slightly widened, and Dickinson and Bridge Streets were fitted with traffic signals. The city has approved the installation of

Likewise, a proposal to extend the 60km/h portion of Bankfield Road west to the Manotick sign near Dan Murphy Ford – that stretch currently has a posted speed limit of 80 km/h – will also need to go to council. “That would do a dramatic improvement,” said MVCA president Klaus Beltzner. “Not only for the safety of people who are walking and cycling along the side of the road, but more importantly it will help

people when they’re trying to get in and out of their driveways.” Beltzner added that a No Passing sign was recently installed on Bankfield Road to help prevent collisions caused by drivers attempting to pass cars stopping to turn into driveways. Along with speed limit changes, Moffatt and the MVCA will send to council, l proposals to add two community safety zones; one on Bridge Street near Manotick Public School and one on Long

two pedestrian cross walks on Manotick Main Street, as well as a four-way-stop at the intersection of Barnsdale Road and Greenbank Road. And because the reality is that traffic proposals to the city are sometimes rejected, Moffatt included an educational component to the Oct. 5 meeting, bringing in Phil Landry, the city’s manager of traffic services, and traffic assessment specialist Scott Muir. Moffatt referred to the city’s approval of a four-way stop at Barnsdale Road and Greenbank Road and rejection of a four-way stop at Barnsdale Road and Rideau Valley Drive in explaining how the city’s warrant system works to approve or deny requests. Moffatt said that decisions arrived at through the warrant system can sometimes seem unfair or arbitrary to residents who do not understand how the process uses information about the area under review that is not necessarily apparent to casual observers. For instance, Moffatt explained how the even flow of traffic from all directions through the approved intersection was a factor in its approval for a four-way-stop. “It’s more of an even split for that intersection,” Moffatt said. “If you have a situation where there’s 90 per cent of traffic on one road and 10 per cent on

the other road, you’re going to start seeing people running that stop sign. People are going to roll through it because there’s no one at the other stops.” Through working with the more finite timelines for traffic safety changes to the village’s core streets, the MCVA has also worked for more than a year to urge the city to divert Ottawa-bound heavy trucks from Manotick’s bridges and streets by providing improved truck access to the new Vimy Memorial Bridge. Moffatt described the process of adding more truck friendly routes to Vimy Memorial Bridge as one that would need to happen in phases. The goal, Moffatt said, is to determine which routes are best for truck drivers in order to focus on those specific roads. Before a road can be designated for truck use it must meet certain surface quality criteria, which means repairs and resurfacing will likely need to be done to those specified roads. What it all seems to boil down to is collaboration. “We’re just trying to work with the truck industry, work with the communities to see how we can better maximize access to the Vimy Memorial Bridge,” Moffatt said. “Right now access is poor so let’s work with the neighbouring councillors and communities, let’s work with the truck industry itself.” Although Moffatt and Beltzner both felt the audience’s

Two cross walks are planned for Main Street, between Currier Street and Clapp Lane.  Exact locations are still to be determined. reception of the Oct. 5 presentation was positive, Moffatt admitted it’s hard to please residents when working with as convoluted a solution as the one needed to solve the truck problem. When it comes to some of these situations there is no short term solution,” Moffatt said. “It’s very difficult and that’s what’s so hard, is that people want a solution yesterday, or even tomorrow. But there is no ‘tomorrow’ solution, the solution is further on.”

Manotick doctor cited for improper behaviour Joe.morin@metroland.com

Dr. Tariq Iqbal, a rheumatologist who practises in Manotick, Brockville and Pembroke, has been found guilty by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario of a 2011 charge of sexually abusing four of his patients. The decision was handed down after a Sept. 24, hearing by the discipline committee of the College of Physicians of Ontario. A penalty hearing has yet to be scheduled. While the College of Physicians deliberated the accusations, they imposed some conditions on Iqbal. In 2014 he was told not to conduct any professional encounters with female patients of any age. The college stated in their 2014 decision: “Iqbal shall not perform rectal, vagi-

nal or perineal examinations.” He has to follow these restrictions until his penalty hearing on Oct. 20. The penalty hearing may result in Iqbal continuing to practise under his current re-

strictions or he could ultimately lose his licence to practise medicine. The complaints came from

four different women who had gone to Iqbal for consultations. The discipline committee stated in their Sept. 2015 findings: “Iqbal committed acts of professional misconduct in that in respect to the four patients he has engaged in sexual abuse, he has engaged in an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to the circumstances, would reasonable be regarded as disgraceful, dishonorable or unprofessional and he has failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession.” The four women, who cannot be identified, had different but similar stories to tell. One woman complained about Iqbal not giving her the privacy while dressing and not making sure she was covered properly during his examination, as well as the sexual manner he performed his examination.

A second women reported the same disturbing behavior including Iqbal performing an unnecessary medical examination in what she felt was done in a sexual manner. The third women said the doctor had touched her in an inappropriate manner during his medical examination as well as not respecting her privacy. The fourth woman reported the same kind of behaviour. The discipline committee felt that the four stories indicated a consistent description of Iqbal’s unprofessional behaviour. Despite the allegations Iqbal denied any wrongdoing and as yet has not appealed the decision. That final appeal opportunity will come after the Oct. 20 penalty hearing. The committee’s report stated: “The Committee is satisfied that each and all of the above allegations made individually

in respect of the four complainants are supported by clear, cogent and convincing evidence.” The committee’s decision also stated: “The Committee is of the view that Iqbal manipulated and exploited his vulnerable patients in a demeaning manner. The sexualizing of examinations suggests a pattern of behaviour, which the Committee finds deeply disturbing and offensive.”

Iqbal came to Canada with his family in 2003. He had been practising medicine in Pakistan for close to 20 years. In 2010 he completed his training in rheumatology after finishing his mandatory post graduate work at the University of Ottawa. Rheumatologists deal mainly with clinical problems with joints, soft tissues, autoimmune diseases, connective tissues disorders and vasculitis.

Rainboth could not confirm whether there was a working smoke detector within the home. Victim Services was at the scene to assist the three residents, and one fire fighter was treated for minor burns to an arm. After treatment on the scene, the injured crew member returned to work controlling the flames. Fire dispatch received the 911 call from the residents at 3:27 a.m. and the fire was considered under control by 4:31 a.m..

South Ottawa budget discussion driven by traffic Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Roadway and traffic issues drove much of the talk at the city’s fifth 2016 budget consultation on Oct. 6, but that doesn’t mean issues like accessibility and city asset disposal took the back seat. Residents at the Ottawa south consultation even brought a host of costsaving suggestions to the meeting at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre with Mayor Jim Watson, Tom Fedec, the city’s manager of financial planning and budgets, and River Coun. Riley Brockington, Alta-Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. The consultations mark an effort by the city to consult residents about spending priorities and efficiencies before drafting next year’s budget, rather than after. The city has $3.1 billion to spend in 2016, with much of that tied to services mandated by the province, or with service standard levels that would drop below an acceptable level if funding were cut, like the paramedic service. The city is forecasting a deficit of $41 million and the mayor has sworn to keep his promise not to raise residential property taxes by more than two per cent. So cost savings solutions and carefully prioritized spending are the major themes of this year’s budget. “My strong suggestion is that in a $3.1-billion budget it’s not a daunting task for us to find efficiencies,” Watson said in response to one resident who protested the decision to cap the property tax increase at 2 per cent. “We’re now negotiating with Hydro Ottawa to run our street lights,” he said, providing an example of the type of cost saving strategy the city is willing to adopt. “That will save us about

$5 to $600,000 per year.” Greely resident Joan Olinik steered the discussion toward accessibility and road safety priorities when she implored Coun. Cloutier to add a cross walk to Russell Road, in front of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, to ensure safer crossing for veterans like her father.

My strong suggestion is that in a $3.1-billion budget it’s not a daunting task for us to find efficiencies. MAYOR JIM WATSON

“In order for the veterans and residents of the Perley to get up onto the sidewalk (on the other side), it’s dangerous,” Olinik said. “The sidewalk curbs are not designed for people in wheelchairs. To cross the road you have two-way traffic, and no one driving through there is sticking to 50 km/h.” Coun. Brockington took the opportunity to list speeding as the number one issue and top priority in his ward. “The number one safety and security issue in River Ward, from my perspective, is speed and traffic,” Brockington said. “We have our share of other issues but speeding is prevalent throughout this ward. There is Strategic Initiative money available, and my challenge to my community is to have that dialogue about prioritizing which streets we need to address.”

Brockington also identified a need to prioritize public transit and existing roads over the construction of new roads. “Before we expand our road network we should exhaust all public transportation options,” Brockington said. “I truly believe that.” Ottawa east resident John Dance hit the targets of road safety, budget priorities and cost savings opportunities when he suggested using more aggressive mobile ticketing tactics to discourage speeding and red-lightrunning and raise capital for the city. “In terms of revenue building options, we know that raising money the way we’ve been ticketing traffic violations is inefficient,” Dance said. “We need more mobile traffic radar and more means of catching people speeding.” Watson answered that while the province banned photo radar as a means to tackle speeding within municipalities, the city plans to install five new red light cameras per year, for up to 20 cameras. At least residents suggested enforcing a congestion charge on vehicles operating downtown in order to raise revenue and reduce the density of traffic on downtown city streets during the day. Watson responded that to do so would contradict the city’s efforts to get people downtown. “We want people to come to the downtown and if you start making it more expensive, that’s going to hurt the businesses and the shops and the restaurants,” Watson said. “We’ve gone a long way to encourage people to live downtown.”

Other cost savings suggestions included reducing OC Transpo discounts for students and seniors, increasing development charges and collaborating more with private donors to fund public projects. While many suggestions were met with responses by the mayor and councillors explaining what made them unfeasible, one man’s cost-saving suggestion had pens scratching across the room. A long-time city employee who did not want to be named said that he had observed a common practice in the city’s construction services of discarding used – but still functioning – equipment. He suggested profiting from city asset disposal by selling used equipment online or at a discounted price

to smaller or less affluent municipalities. Following the meeting, Watson referred back to that suggestion in explaining how ongoing public budget consultations can deliver solutions that the city hasn’t yet considered. “I think some of the suggestions that come up from time to time we’ve heard before, so we’ve been able to research an answer to them,” Watson said. “But others, for instance this gentleman who said we don’t do a very good job of disposing of used equipment and suggested we go sell it on eBay, well I’ll follow up with my staff about that. Some suggestions will find their way into the budget, others will not. They have to be implementable and legal and reasonable.”

River road traffic causes concerns for residents Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Alarmed by rising traffic volumes, including trucks, speeding and motorists tailgating and passing stopped school buses, River Road residents are petitioning to bring safety back to their street. “The accidents are going to increase. Soon we’re going to have deaths,” said Cedardale resident Fred Newman, who is helping spearhead the Take Back River Road campaign and petition. With the opening last year of Vimy Memorial Bridge, traffic problems have escalated. Newman worries for his two young grandchildren, who must catch their school bus in front of Newman’s River Road home. “My wife has had a few close calls, just cars coming close to them and scaring them,” he said. He and his neighbours recently began circulating a petition calling on the city to reduce the speed limit to 60 kilometres an hour between Cedardale and

WEEK IN REVIEW Saturday, October 3 to Friday, October 9 What a fantastic weekend! We couldn’t have asked for better weather for the Metcalfe Fair. It was wonderful to see so many people at the Fair and it was a great opportunity to meet new people and chat with friends. A big thank you to Mayor Watson for stopping by on Friday and to my staff (Dave, Nick and Jane) for manning my booth for the entire weekend. On Monday I attended the Environment Committee meeting. Although I do not sit on that Committee I did have some questions about the report for the Shadow Ridge Communal Well. Staff was able to answer my questions and I have been in contact with a number of residents to offer some detailed responses and reassurance. I circulated a letter to the residents of that subdivision and I would encourage anyone who still has questions to contact my office either through email (George.darouze@ottawa. ca) or by phone (613.580.2490).

PUBLIC CONSULTATION Policy Update for Pupil Accommodation Review Process The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board currently undertakes school accommodation reviews in accordance with Policy P118.PLG, School Accommodation Studies. The Ministry of Education has recently released an updated Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline (March 2015) and requires school boards to amend their policy documents to incorporate the requirements of the new guideline. These changes came about as a result of comments provided to the Ministry of Education from parents, schools/communities and school boards.

Transportation Committee meeting was on Wednesday and the most significant item on the agenda was the discussion of street parking and how it affects City services, specifically snow removal. Thursday was Audit Committee and we received the report on Audit follow ups which I will be reviewing before the next meeting in November.

In an effort to develop a more streamlined and efﬁcient accommodation review process, policy amendments include minimum standards required to ensure that valuable school and community input is heard when addressing the need for the movement of students, relocation of programming and/or the consolidation of facilities. Details about this consultation can be found on the OCDSB website at: http://goo.gl/9fJpqP Comments may be submitted to: commentsPARpolicyupdate@ocdsb.ca 1015.R0013503884

Erik Waddell, left, and his father-in-law Fred Newman watch Waddell’s children, Spencer Grant-Waddell, 4, and Abigail, 7, disembark from their school bus outside Newman’s River Road home in Cedardale on Sept. 25. Newman is joining other local residents to petition for changes to speed limits in the area.

book page as part of their campaign at facebook.com/TakeBackRiverRoad. Newman’s son-in-law, Erik Waddell, said the city is responsible for mitigating traffic problems since motorists are not crossing the bridge and heading east on Earl Armstrong Road and turning down Limebank Road as expected. Instead, they’re turning onto River Road, which is considered a shortcut. With the traffic influx, residents said they are forced to contend with speeders travelling at upwards of 90 km/hr, raising safety concerns and making it challenging for residents to get out of and into their driveways. With students back in school, drivers are frequently ignoring stopped school buses. “The number of times the bus starts to slow down and people start to see that and they just hit the accelerator and roar right by as quick as they can,” said Waddell, a Riverside South resident. Waddell, Newman’s son-in-law and father to Spencer and Abigail who catch the bus outside Newman’s home, said “sometimes they even go by when the (bus stop) sign is up.” Their petition also calls for prohibiting heavy vehicles, reducing the left-turning lanes from two to one at the east of the bridge to restrict the flow onto River Road, as well as shortening the left-turning bridge signal and the right turn from Limebank onto the north end of River Road. They also want to see traffic-calming measures, such as speed bumps, installed on Balmoral Drive, where families are concerned by an increase in cut-through speeders. While Newman said he’d like to see a consistent speed limit on River Road, such as 50 km/hr, Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, whose ward includes Cedardale, said city traffic engineers would not support making it that low. “The reason they would tell you that is that roads are built to accommodate a certain speed of traffic,” she said. See SPEEDING page 7

The consultation will be web-based and will take place until October 28, 2015. We look forward to your consideration of the updated material and feedback. R0023503354-1015

Speeding prompts ‘Take Back River Road’ campaign Continued from page 6

A limit change would require shorter amber traffic-light times in that area, which means motorists would be slamming on their brakes, causing more rearend collisions. “Falsely reducing a speed doesn’t get people to drive slower unless there’s constant enforcement, but it does lead to a higher number of accidents,” Deans said. The city presented residents with the option of dropping the limit where it is 70 to 60 and from 80 to 70. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, whose ward includes the River Road communities of Honey Gables and Gloucester Glen as well as Riverside South and Barrhaven, echoed Deans, said he’s waiting to hear back from them. “One thing that our staff are concerned about is bringing it down to 50 or 60 and we see absolutely no compliance, and that’s a dangerous thing,” he said. “We don’t want a number that’s pulled out of thin air. “We want the science and traffic numbers to ensure that it makes sense,” he said, adding that motorists wouldn’t abide by 50, which makes enforcement an issue. But Bron Vasic, president of the Honey Gable Development Association and a supporter of the Take Back River Road campaign, said the call for a reduced speed limit is about ensuring safety for those using the road, including local residents. “Yes, it’s an arterial road, but we think people just need to be educated on the fact that it’s not the thoroughfare that they think it is,” Vasic said. “I think that a lower speed limit would entice the people to say, ‘Oh, OK, I’ll go where I can drive faster, and it’s two lanes and I don’t need to worry about being behind somebody who needs to turn off. “Specifically, Earl Armstrong and Limebank were built for that, built for the trucks, built for the commercial vehicles, built for that speed limit.” Newman said he doesn’t have to look at city traffic figures to know that traffic on River Road is at an all-time high. The number of vehicles on River Road has spiked from 8,500 on average every day before the bridge’s opening to 13,200 this spring – within the range of what staff had anticipated. But it was revealed at a com-

Canada Votes 2015 Voting day is almost here. For the latest federal

munity meeting on the issue in June that while staff had anticipated about 70 per cent of the rush-hour traffic would use Earl Armstrong to get to Limebank, only about 50 per cent are using it, with the rest heading down River Road. Qaqish and Deans said a number of measures have been implemented along River Road, including flashing speed signs and changes to the traffic light pattern on the east end of the bridge. The timing of the light has been changed to give straight-through morning traffic the priority and vehicles turning left onto River Road are forced to wait longer. “So, it’s actually more advantageous now to go straight through and take Limebank from a time perspective,” Deans said. “And the duration of the left-turn arrow was decreased from 15 seconds to 10 seconds, so we’re letting fewer and fewer people through each cycle. “So it’s quicker for them to keep going on Earl Armstrong to Limebank Road.” That also gives residents in Honey Gables and Gloucester Glen “a bit of a gap time” so they can get out of their drive-

ways and onto River Road in the morning, said Qaqish. The installation of ‘local traffic only’ signs at the bridge intersection, which would apply to rush hour times, are also under review, Deans said. At the June meeting, city traffic staff promised to look at the impact to traffic on Prince Wales Drive if one of two turn lanes onto River Road were permanently shuttered. Recent changes have also included the addition of ‘I Stop, You Stop’ signs on River Road to remind motorists to yield to stopped school buses as they pick up and drop off students. Deans also said OC Transpo buses that are empty of fares have since been directed to use Limebank Road rather than River Road. As well, shoulders along River Road have been graded for cyclists. At the north end of River Road, where it connects with Limebank Road, staff have been requested to review restricting the right-hand turn on the red light, she said. However, Qaqish said a traffic signal at River and Leitrim

Government advertising must deliver substance

ach week more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers just like the one you are reading today go about the business of telling stories that matter to the communities they serve. We are at your rinks and schools. We are at your council meeting. We are at the scene when tragedy strikes. We celebrate your milestones. Our job is to cover your neighbourhood, warts and all. And we are good at it. We are in towns big and small. Independent research shows that more than 70 per cent of Canadians read their community paper. Despite our collective strength, ours is a medium easy to ignore. Because we focus on Canada one community at a time, we lack the sex appeal of other media. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen our share of federal govern-

ment advertising gradually erode over the years. Our regional and national associations have met with government MPs, opposition MPs, cabinet ministers and senior bureaucrats to promote our case. We are always met with courtesy and a promise that things will get better. Well things are not getting better. So despite it being contradictory to everything we believe in journalistically, the time has come to tell you. In short, the federal government is all but ignoring your community newspaper. We believe this means the federal government is ignoring you and your communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to be informed about programs and services offered by the Government of Canada.

advertising. More than $26 million of that went to TV ads, while another $15.5 million went to Internet advertising â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an industry dominated by American-based companies like Google and Facebook. Creating ads and paying ad agencies ate away another $10 million. Radio advertising cost just under $7 million. By comparison, community newspapers saw a paltry $867,000 in total advertising from Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or an average of about $25 per week per newspaper. The way in which your government uses your money to communicate with you is very telling. TV and Internet ads work to build brand, not to inform. Your community newspaper generates debate and serves as a forum for discussion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is also one of the few places where local MPs actually receive editorial cover-

age outside election season. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why those MPs submit letters to the editor, columns or buy their own local advertising to share their work with the community. They know the power of your local community paper. The federal government knows it, too. The Harper government spent $1.25 million with a company called NewsCanada to create its own stories â&#x20AC;&#x201C;stories it offers for free to print and broadcast outlets. The vast majority of these government-approved stories are never published. But you and I paid for them. It is disconcerting that the federal government spent 50 per cent more creating its own news than the total advertising buy in Canadian newspapers. The federal government strategy appears to be that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important to make pretty ads than to put

relevant information about programs and services in front of readers of community newspapers. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling you theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather give your tax dollars to Facebook and Google than Canadian-based companies that invest in local journalism. If the federal government continues to ignore our community newspapers, some communities may lose them. When that happens a vital voice is silenced. If you believe, as we do, that government should invest in meaningful communication with citizens through community newspapers, we ask you to help us. Contact your local candidate. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from you, too. Give us a call at 613-221-6261 or write a letter to the editor and email theresa.fritz@metroland.com. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to make sure your voice is heard.

choices are better. Or maybe they realize that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that satisfying to make a grandstand play in a church basement in front of 23 people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even notice. And so we proceed, many of us quite happily. We like the ritual stroll to the neighbourhood church hall, getting the ballot (although all identification requirements makes us feel vaguely not trusted), marking the ballot, double-checking it to make sure we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accidentally vote for the wrong person or play tic-tac-toe, asking the scrutineers how the turnout is, and then strolling back. It feels good, as if we have done something worthwhile, like going to church, which we sort of have. People who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote miss out on this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know why, because voting is the farthest thing from difficult. The polling place is invariably close by, the hours make it easy to vote after work, and it is

possible, in many cases, to get time off to vote, if necessary. So there is nothing holding people back. Except for their own inertia and whatever feelings of alienation they may have. The local candidates may not appeal to some, none of the leaders may seem just right, none of the party platforms are perfect. But, hey: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a perfect world. There must be something or someone you like better than the others. Or, to put it negatively, there must be someone you want to vote against. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legitimate choice too, voting against. The important thing is to choose. There have been many strolls to the same church hall over the years and some changes too. The big difference is that there are people from all over the world at the polling place now, Canadians all, which is something that Canadians rightly celebrate. When asked what

differentiates Canada from other countries, Canadians might mention medicare, hockey and better beer, but they also mention how easy has been the transition from bicultural to multicultural society. As we know, not everyone is as happy with that as they should be, but voting day is a good time think about it.

No change needed to impaired driving limit The death of three young children and their grandfather by an alleged drunk driver in a horrific road crash in Vaughan, Ont. on Sept. 28 will renew the call by many to reduce the criminal limit for drunk driving to 0.05 blood alcohol level (BAC) from the current 0.08 level. Canada set the current criminal limit at 0.08 for impaired driving over 35 years ago. An internal federal government study in 2010 warns that lowering the bar for drunk driving convictions could overwhelm the justice system. The Justice Department says that courts, police services, and jails could be pushed to the breaking point if the federal government ever lowered the criminal drunk-driving Voting day is almost here.

with the approaches taken in other countries. Canada’s impaired driving laws are among the strictest in the Western world. Lowering the criminal limit would nullify many effective countermeasures now in place. If criminal charges were to be laid below the current threshold, that many more, if not all, would be challenged. A significant concern and risk in reducing the criminal limit below a point most Canadians would consider unreasonable is that it would encourage contempt, disrespect, and disdain for the law. Unquestionably, this would weaken the resolve of the criminal justice system - the police and courts – to enforce the law. Tinkering with this criminal limit could well open the doors to a barrage of defence challenges! Frivolous criminalization will not protect the

tiveness, efficiency and severity. Let’s keep it that way! What is needed is to increase the perception of apprehension, and to improve the system’s efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with impaired driving offenders.

public. There is absolutely no evidence that charging low-BAC (0.05) drivers under the Criminal Code would prevent more deaths and injuries than measures now in place in provincial and territorial regulations. When it comes to dealing with impaired driving, the current administrative and criminal sanctions in place in Canada provide a well thought-out mix of effec-

The University of Ottawa has officially been recognized by the province as a French-language service provider under the French Language Services Act. The designation, which the university requested, requires the university to offer programs and academic services in French.

Ottawa U to get new French designation Jan. 1 After four years of discussions, the University of Ottawa has been recognized by the province as a French-language service provider under the French Language Services Act. The announcement was made on Sept. 25, Franco-Ontarian Day. The designation means that the university will be legally required to offer programs and academic services in French. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education in French is central to our institution and we are determined to serve the community and provide young francophones with a chance to study and grow in a francophone environment. We firmly believe that this designation has rewarded our efforts and is the next step in our ongoing commitment to this cause,â&#x20AC;? said Allan Rock, president and vice-chancellor, in a University of Ottawa press release. The university has had a variety of French programs for students to study in French, or complete their studies in a bilingual atmosphere. For example, some courses allow students to take a course in English, but submit their work in French â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or vice versa. The university received a partial designation because

not all the programs and services at the school are covered â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though the estimate is that 90 per cent of francophone students already at the school are in programs that will be covered under the designation. Only certain programs in the faculties such as science and engineering are not covered. Some of the programs not covered under the designation are programs that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be completed as currently structured, with the requirement of at least one English course. The designation could expand in the future to cover more programs. The university only designated programs that are already compliant with the act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The university is committed to reviewing the scope of

the designation once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough experience in applying it,â&#x20AC;? said SĂŠbastien Grammond, a professor at the faculty of law who coordinated the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to obtain the designation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, in three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time, we may consider designating graduate programs, and other programs and services not currently covered by the designation.â&#x20AC;? OrlĂŠans MPP Marie-France Lalonde was on hand for the announcement, and said she was proud to see the announcement made on FrancoOntarian Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an important step that ensures the sustainability of francophone culture in Ontario, and for future generations,â&#x20AC;? she said.

PERTH POWERSPORTS AND MARINE

Inaugural ‘Porchfest’ to highlight local musical talent Few places are cosier than a front porch, meaning an upcoming music event in Hintonburg is guaranteed to be an intimate experience. On Oct. 24, fledgling musicians from across the community and city will take to the porches of participating homes in Hintonburg for the inaugural Porchfest. The imaginative event is the brainchild of musician and resident Ken McKay, who got the idea from similar events held in the United States and Montreal. It’s an initiative he’d eventually like to see spread to porches across the city. “About a month ago, I opened my mouth to the Hintonburg Community Association about this thing going on across America called Porchfest,” McKay recalled. “They said ‘Let’s do it – it sounds like a great community event.’” McKay, who performs under the name Ken Halen, knows that drawing artists out of the comfortable and safe confines of their basements or living rooms can

have positive and unexpected consequences.

“Musicians have been launched out of this thing who have never been heard of before. A person might have been playing for 20 years.” Ken McKay, Creator, Ottawa Porchfest-Hintonburg

He wants Porchfest to give artists exposure to those living nearby, and beyond. “You see people coming out of houses with instruments all the time, but you never see what it is that they do,” said McKay. “Musicians have been launched out of this thing who have never been heard of before. A person might have been playing for 20 years. “One Montreal guy got a record deal out of a You-

tube video (taken during a Porchfest).” Residents who want to register their porch for use as a stage during the event can do so up until Oct. 14 on the event’s website, ottawaporchfest.ca. During Porchfest, performers will play acoustic or unplugged sets lasting 45 minutes, while respecting the family-friendly nature of the event. Unfortunately for some, the porches will be dry in more ways than one - a no smoking or alcohol policy will be in effect for the duration of the set. A listing of what performers can be seen and where will be posted on the website to aid music lovers. Already, McKay has received strong interest in the event, with a dozen performers signed up as of Oct. 1. Praising Ottawans for their enthusiasm for adopting “neat” new ideas, he said his hope is to expand the event citywide, or at least into a few more neighbourhoods. “This is the first year – we’re expecting to have fun, see what happens, and let it organically grow.”

SENS EXTRA

Better, faster, stronger Sens first round pick leaves camp with contract but returns to junior adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators first pick of the NHL 2015 draft, Thomas Chabot, has left Ottawa with a contract and two main aspects of his game to work on to improve his chances of making the team’s roster at next season’s training camp. The club signed Chabot, an 18-year-old, 6-foot-2 defenceman to a three-year entry-level contract, general manager Bryan Murray announced on Sept. 30. Though Chabot has now returned to play with the Saint John Sea Dogs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, he said he was very satisfied with his first training camp experience with the Senators. “They told me I had a great camp and I knew I had a great camp,” said Chabot. “It’s hard to go (to camp) and not make it (on the team), but I wasn’t really thinking about it. I was just focusing to get to learn and enjoy the experience and live it day by day and try to get better,” he

said. “To be back now and to get back in junior with a contract in your hands, it feels real good.” The training camp was one of the first opportunities Chabot has had to play with and against players older than himself, he said. “Everything was quicker; everybody was stronger, so it was something really different.” While Chabot worked to adjust his game, using his own speed and trying to simplify his game, he said speed and power are the two major things he will have to work on. “You’ve always got to be faster, but I’m going to try to be stronger … to be strategic for me to battle against older guys,” Chabot said. “I have some things to learn in my game, but first thing is to be stronger in my game and develop physically.” Chabot said he is aiming to become a player with a strong two-way game with an emphasis on offence, and strong skating ability who’s not afraid to carry the puck.

He listed Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith and L.A. Kings defenceman Drew Doughty among his inspirations. Returning to the Sea Dogs, Chabot has earned an assist after two games in which the Sea Dogs defeated the Gatineau Olympiques 4-3 and the Shawinigan Cataractes 5-2. “I know we have a great team, we have a lot of good players, so I know it’s going to be an exciting year,” he said. Last year, Chabot recorded 41 points with 12 goals and 29 assists, in addition to 62 penalty minutes in 66 games. Asked who his dream team was growing up, Chabot said it was the Montreal Canadiens, but added, “I wouldn’t mind anywhere to get drafted. (Getting drafted by the Sens) was something special for me.”

OC Transpo plans tax hike to balance budget Emma Jackson Metro Ottawa

OC Transpo is raising its transit tax 2.5 per cent in 2016 as the transit operator faces rising costs and flatlining ridership. An early budget report released Sept. 29 asks staff to craft a transit budget that finds $24.5 million in new money while limiting the transit tax increase to 2.5 per cent. Between the $9 million extra collected through that hike and another $6.9 million more coming from fares, OC Transpo will still

have to find $8.6 million in ‘efficiencies’ to avoid going into deficit. That process has already started, according to transit commission chairman Coun. Stephen Blais. He said five management positions were cut this summer, and the system is “becoming more efficient in how some of the routes operate.” But that hasn’t been enough to fend off a rising tide of extra costs. Insurance claims were much higher than budgeted in 2015, for example, and as warranties end on the city’s fleet of hy-

H OT price

brid buses maintenance costs are rising, too. “In order to provide the same level of service doing the same work on the buses, we now have to spend more money,” Blais said. Blais said more details about OC Transpo’s savings plan will come to the finance committee as part of the draft budget. He skirted the notion the transit operator is considering service cuts. “We need to consider making sure we have an efficient and affordable system for the highest number of people that we can,” he said.

Turkey hash a great brunch or dinner idea This hash is a great brunch idea. The eggs also make it a pleasing last-minute dinner. Serve hash with hot sauce if you like lots of heat. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 1-1/2 hours Serves: six to eight Ingredients

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil • 1/4 cup (50 mL) minced fresh parsley • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder • Salt and pepper • 1 whole turkey breast (about 5 lb/2 kg), bone in, skin on and trimmed of fat Hash: • 5 red potatoes, cubed, about 1 lb (16 oz) or 2 cups (500 mL) leftover potatoes • 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter • 1 onion, chopped • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 hot pepper, seeded and minced • 1 each sweet red and yellow pepper, chopped • 10 Ontario Eggs • 1/4 cup (50 mL) milk or whipping cream • Salt and pepper

• 16 corn tostadas • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded cheddar cheese • Minced fresh parsley Preparation instructions

In bowl, mix together oil, parsley, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Pat turkey dry with paper towel; rub mixture under skin and on both sides of breast to evenly distribute. Place skin side up, on greased rack in large roasting pan. Roast turkey in 425º F (220ºC) oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF (180ºC); cook until thickest part of breast registers 160ºF (70ºC) on instant read thermometer, about 1 hour. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Remove skin and meat from bone and slice. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.)Hash: Meanwhile, in saucepan, cover potatoes with enough water to cover by 1-inch (2.5 cm); bring to boil. Salt water and reduce heat to medium; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and let

cool. In large skillet, heat half of the butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and hot pepper; cook, about 3 minutes. Add red and yellow peppers; cook until vegetables are tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes; cook until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. In large nonstick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add egg mixture; cook until no liquid remains, about 4 minutes. For each serving, put 2 tostadas on plate; top each with 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped turkey, 1/2 cup (125 mL) potato mixture and follow with eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Manotick News - Thursday, October 15, 2015

Metroland Media welcomes new intern James Kerr james.kerr@metroland.com

I started on my long, intricate journey to become a journalist on Wednesday, Sept. 23. However this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where my story starts. I was born in Halifax, and have since lived in British Columbia and England as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m part of a military family.

Upon moving to Ontario I was enrolled in Sir Robert Borden High School, which I currently attend. The school subjects I enjoy most include English, music, civics and especially history. I have had no formal writing or reporting experience, however, I do enjoy writing amateur book and film reviews as well as short fic-

tion in my spare time or for school. Ever since I was enrolled in middle school and discovered my passion for writing, I have always been interested in the field of journalism. I follow and keep up to date on issues of all sizes, from small community matters to massive global events. While I am interested in

nearly every type of journalism, subjects such as politics, art, and social justice issues intrigue me the most. On the other hand, I have little to no interest in subjects such as sports and economics. Despite these preferences, I am still willing to cover most stories as I strive to gain as much experience as possible. I learned about Metroland

Media through the co-operative education program at my school whilst searching for journalism placements. I aspire to be a writer or journalist of some kind in the future and I hope to get a better understanding of what journalism and professional writing are like and what career paths involve them. If you have any story ideas about the area the Ottawa East News covers, my email address is james.kerr@metroland.com.

Corn field marijuana grow-ops cut down by Ottawa police Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa drug cops beat marijuana growers to their illicit harvest, sweeping up more than 1,500 pot plants worth more than $1.5 million that were likely destined for Ottawa streets. Based on intelligence gathered by police and tips submitted to Crime Stoppers over the course of the year, drug investigators spent the past month harvesting 22 pot patches in 15 corn fields located on both sides of the Rideau River, south of Riverside South and south of Barrhaven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good haul. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be used for all kinds of illicit activities so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty happy with that,â&#x20AC;? said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, head of the Ottawa police drug unit. The 2,000-kilogram seizure represents a significant loss of profits typically used to finance the cocaine and gun trades and human trafficking. The sheer volume of the crop leads Mc-

Donell to suspect that organized crime is likely connected, since those involved would rely on a larger network, from planters and harvesters to distributors and street-level dealers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking this $1.5 million and giving it to the Shepherds of Good Hope,â&#x20AC;? said McDonell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These dollars support organized crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A (single) patch of 200 plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to get rid of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a couple of kids rolling and smoking it on their own. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a couple of pot plants that were found out behind momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house.â&#x20AC;? The police marijuana eradication project takes place every autumn, though officers remain tight-lipped about when they typically swoop in on the suspect fields, as well as exact addresses of the crops so as not to tip off competing criminals and others interested in the crop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even 100 plants at $1,000 each â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you go in and find one little patch, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big, big profit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking away with and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost you a nickel,â&#x20AC;? McDonell said.

Tips are critical to tracking down these illicit crops, though officers out on patrol have in the past spotted suspect vehicles parked alongside corn fields. The illicit plants are typically planted in the spring after farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fields have begun to sprout with corn plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might go back every now and then to check on them,â&#x20AC;? said McDonell. Other than that the crop requires little effort with low risk and a lot of reward, especially compared to a home-based grow-up which requires electrical bypasses and more high-tech equipment. This time around, most of the pot patches were located in the middle of corn fields that had been cut out by growers, while others were planted between rows and still others in back of fields close to streams and trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normally in a corn field because they provide the highest cover from the roads,â&#x20AC;? said McDonell. A team of about seven drug investigators, with support from the police marine, dive and trails unit, went to each location and chopped down the crops with machetes before hauling them away. No suspects have been identified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To sit on (site) and invest those resources to try to locate the guy, it would be more like blind luck,â&#x20AC;? McDonell said.

Fifteen corn fields were raided over the past month by Ottawa police drug investigators on the hunt for hidden patches of marijuana plants. More than 1,500 plants were cut down, worth more than $1.5 million.

OPINION

Why, it’s Misty the horse, of course DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife and didn’t renew them when they expired. I put posts on Facebook saying Misty was looking for a new home, and as soon as I got a response I took the offer away. Finally, on St. Patrick’s Day 2014, the Farmer got a call from Roy Sherrer, who raises Belgian horses on a farm near Spencerville. He knew Misty well. Just like that, she was sold. I blame it on the Guinness. Within a few weeks, Roy had Misty hitched up with another horse and pulling a wagon. We were surprised but oh so happy to hear that she was learning to be a

horse. And then, once trained, Misty was sold. To a farmer in Quebec. Roy came over to get us to sign some papers and he asked us how many times she had been hitched before. The answer was, well, never. Misty had been hitched once for a photo opportunity, at her original farm. But we hadn’t put as much as a saddle on her. He said she learned within just a few hours, to follow the lead of her hitch partner, and pull. We were very proud. Roy said Misty’s new owner was going to take her

to the International Plowing Match in September. I started to think about how I would find out when Misty was competing, so I could attend. I imagined the Farmer and me, in our plaid shirts, cowboy boots and jeans, Misty’s own cheering section. Then, out of the blue, I got a message from a friend who had an almost unbelievable story. My uncle and his partner Christiane used to enjoy their visits to the farm, and Misty. Christiane was visiting her mother in Val des Monts Quebec recently when she heard a familiar snort from the farm next door. She walked over to take a closer look and couldn’t believe what she saw. “Misty!” The red-gold horse responded to her name. Christiane checked in with the elderly farmer who had just added the horse to his team and he confirmed her name and origin.

disappointing. I told her Misty is used to following, not leading. She followed her sister around from the day she was born. And when her sister died, she turned around and there was Donkey. I’m sure they know Misty’s character by now, but I thought I would add my two cents. Hopefully they will give her another chance. I think Misty would really enjoy being part of the Christmas celebration in the little Quebec village, jingle bells on her halter, pulling a sleigh. She always loved the attention of people, and the excitement of the crowd. I hope she gets her act together and if they don’t have a strong lead horse, she might consider being one herself. theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

PET OF THE WEEK

Is a Small Animal the Pet for You? When thinking of the Ottawa Humane Society, most people will say that visions of cats, kittens, puppies and dogs come to mind. But what if you are looking to add a small animal to your family? Where would you go? Well, look no further than those you trust to help you ﬁnd your feline and canine companions. What most people don’t realize is that the OHS always has a large variety of small

Christiane gave me some more info about Misty’s new home. Her owner hitches his team to wagons and sleighs in the winter, complete with jingle bells, and takes families for rides in the village. He has a beautiful spot in the valley and she will be very happy there. I felt much better, knowing where she was. I know I need to let her go and it’s all quite silly to be concerned for her happiness but it’s nice to hear she found a good home. Next, I received an email from the granddaughter of Misty’s new owner. Sarah explained that her father didn’t speak much English, so she would be our go-between. She told me Misty wouldn’t be going to the plowing match. Apparently she didn’t get along with her new hitch partner, so they were back to square one. Well that was

other things. What they lack in size, they more than make up for in love and companionship and you will quickly ﬁnd yourself under their spell as you play with them and discover their personalities. If you have been hoping to add a little bundle of love to your family, come by the Adoption Centre at 245 West Hunt Club Rd to meet a wide variety of small animals and ﬁnd that perfect match for your family.

t was a very difficult decision to give up our beautiful Belgian horse, Misty. She wasn’t a trained horse, but we were absolutely positive she had untapped skills and just needed the chance to display them. Unfortunately, the Farmer and I were completely illequipped to discover, train or utilize those skills. Having a horse is a huge responsibility. We considered ourselves lucky to have gone through six years without any major medical bills or disasters. But it was time to find a new home for our 1800-lb pet. She needed to find out what it means to be a workhorse. Traipsing around the meadow all day after a mischievous donkey had to be boring at times. For over two years we fiddled with the idea.

Everyone played a role in sauerkraut making MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories scrubbed within an inch of its life. Father had the shredder ready.  It was a wood box affair about ten inches wide, a couple feet long, with a piece of board smooth as silk from many years of usage, fitting exactly the top of the box.  In this board, was a sharp blade imbedded in the middle, and only Father manned this part of the operation.   Everett was once allowed to use the shredder and ended up with a goodly portion of a finger cut off which old Doctor Murphy had to stitch back on!   So Father took no chances.  He was the

shredder.  Every one of us had a job to do when it came to sauerkraut night.   All decked out in long white aprons, (Father thought Mother was taking this cleanliness a bit too far, but he wore one anyway to stop an argument which he was sure to lose), and with our hands scrubbed red, we were ready to begin. Emerson and Everett were in charge of bringing in the heavy bushel baskets of cabbage heads.  Earl took the heads out, one at a time, and handed them to Audrey and me sitting at one end of the table.  Our job was to peel off the outer leaves, and toss

them into one of the empty baskets (they would be fed to the pigs).  Mother cored the heads and handed them, one after another to Father at the shredder. One head at a time was placed in the board with a groove and blade in it, and Father shoved the cabbage back and forth over the blade, filling the cavity underneath.   Once it was full, Father dumped the shredded cabbage into the big barrel beside him. Every so often, the entire operation would stop, and Mother would take the wood plunger we used to whip cream into butter, and pound down the cabbage in the barrel, take a cup of coarse salt from the bag and toss it over the shredded cabbage. I loved the smell of the cabbage, which I was sure started to ferment as soon as it hit the barrel, but of course, it didn’t.  It would have to sit for weeks before we could truly

call it sauerkraut! By the time the last bit of cabbage had been shredded and pounded down into the barrel, it was ready for Father to put the round disc of well scrubbed wood on top of it all.   A large stone, so big only Father and Everett or Emerson could lift it, had been sitting in the dish pan filled with clean water from the pump.

It too, had been scrubbed clean, and I loved to hear Father tell how it was the very same stone used by his Father when he was a young boy.  The very same stone used to press down the shredded cabbage years and years ago.   I would look at the stone, and marvel at the mystery of it all.   See MARY page 28

he cabbages were ready.  The heads filled four bushel baskets in the summer kitchen, and Mother had covered them with old quilts.  She said to keep them safe from an early frost, which wasn’t likely since it was still September, and they were well protected in the snug summer kitchen.   We knew it was to keep the mice off them!   Mother worried constantly that a mouse would come in contact with anything we might eventually put in our mouths! It was a Saturday night and everything was ready.   The big barrel had been well scoured, sun-dried, and now rolled into the kitchen waiting for the shredded cabbage. We always made sauerkraut on a Saturday night.   It was then the whole family would be together, and this was a true family venture!  And it all happened around the old pine kitchen table that had been

As Fall stretched into winter, out in the summer kitchen was a barrel that would augment our meals, and we would enjoy the fruits of a true family evening...and savour the wonderful

German dishes Father so often made.  Just like his Father did a generation before him.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s 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 Aries, delve deeper to get to know a new acquaintance more closely. There is more to this person than what you will see on the surface, so don’t hesitate to connect. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, expect to be pulled in a million directions over the next several days. Keep a cool head and you will handle this situation with the same flare you always do. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Take a step back and reassess a particular situation this week, Gemini. A step back and a new perspective might be just what you need to make the most of this situation. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you sometimes have a sixth sense about you, and it guides you through the tough decisions that need to be made. Rely on your intuition for something major this week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will be the king (or queen) of your domain this week. Others will respect your final decision on many issues, and you will feel comfortable being the head honcho. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot dictate every situation. Not only can you get frazzled, but also others may begrudge your taking over all of the time. Go with the flow once in a while.

Transforming Landscapes FOR OVER 35 YEARS

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, now is a good time to pull them all out. People are expecting serious productivity and you can deliver. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week presents a great opportunity to allow a colleague to take over the reins of a big project. This person is fully capable and ready for the responsibility. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may turn up at your door this week seeking assistance. Don’t be surprised by the sudden visitors, and do your best to send them off with what they need. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, with so much on your schedule, you have to give some serious thought to prioritizing. Otherwise, you may expend energy that cannot be wasted. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have been indecisive of late, Aquarius. While you may not know which way to go regarding an important decision, trust your instincts and you won’t be unhappy. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Treat yourself well this week, Pisces. Dine out at an upscale restaurant or indulge in a spa treatment. You deserve something special.
