Walkley light-rail station plan draws questions, concerns Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Many area residents are already welcoming a future light-rail station at Walkley with open arms, but others are raising questions before they fully get on board with the plans.

When the O-Train line was being planned out years ago, Ridgemont resident David Wood said he was excited about what he thought would be an obvious stop where the rail line runs by the Walkley bus stop.

Ottawa police have made progress in solving a string of swarmings that investigators allege are connected to the same three suspects. Hours after police warned the public about the incidents, which allegedly occurred Aug. 10 and 11 on a path between Albion Road and Lorry Greenberg Drive in the South Keys and Greenboro community, a 14-year-old male suspect turned himself in to police.

A 14-year-old boy has turned himself in to police after Ottawa robbery investigators issued a public warning about three recent swarmings in the South Keys and Greenboro neighbourhoods.

Police appealed to the public for help on Aug. 16 after connecting the Aug. 10 and 11 incidents.

“This is a significant development,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who heads up the robbery squad, said of the arrest. “Clearly it will greatly relieve the stress in the community and the likelihood that we’ll see another offence in that particular area.”

The crime spree began on Aug. 10, around 9:30 p.m., when a female victim was walking along an east-west pathway between Albion Road and Lorry Greenberg Drive, north of Hunt Club Road. As the woman neared Lorry Greenberg Drive she noticed a male walking behind her.

As she moved over to let him pass, he stopped and demanded she turn over her backpack, according to police, who allege a second male suspect then appeared, holding a knife.

The victim handed over a small quantity of cash rather than the backpack, and the pair fled the area, police said. The woman was not injured in the incident.

Almost 24 hours later, a woman was out running on the same path, but closer to Albion Road, when she neared three males wearing bandanas over their faces at approximately 9:20 p.m.

One was armed with a knife and another male may have had a handgun, police said, adding that when one suspect made a demand for the victim’s personal property, she relinquished her cellphone.

The trio then ran off toward Cahill Drive. The victim was not injured in the incident.

THIRD SWARMING

A third swarming was promptly reported, which investigators said occurred the evening of Aug. 11, either right before or immediately after the female jogger was targeted.

“A male and female couple was walking along the same pathway when three male suspects jumped out of some hedges,” Haarbosch said in a press release.

See POLICE, page 3

Police still seek two suspects wanted in Greenboro swarmings Continued from page 2

The trio also wore bandanas.

“The suspect(s) indicated they needed money for their sick family and that no one would be hurt,” Haarbosch stated. “When no money was available, the suspect(s) demanded the female victim’s necklace.”

The couple was not injured.

Though the initial description of the suspects differed and was vague – three males either black or of Middle Eastern descent, between 15 and 20 years old, with slim builds and various heights – police wanted to alert the public about the string of crimes.

A public advisory urged people to be vigilant and cautioned that the pathway – like countless others in the city – is bordered by trees and bushes and that lower lighting levels make for ideal conditions that could conceal suspects after dark.

Haarbosch told Metro-

He is facing four counts of robbery, three counts of conspiracy to commit a crime, three counts of wearing a disguise and three counts of possession of a weapon in the commission of an offence.

Haarbosch declined to comment on whether police have identified the other two suspects. He would only say that they have not yet been apprehended and that no weapons have been recovered.

FILE

“We’ll continue to monitor the calls that come in from that area, but I’m optimistic that, by the fact that one of these people has done the right thing and turned himself in, it will hopefully prevent further occurrences from happening in that area in the short term,” he said.

Anyone with any information on these cases is asked to call the robbery squad at 613-236-1222, ext.

5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Ottawa robbery investigators say there was no delay in alerting the public about a rash of back-to-back swarmings on a walking trail in the Greenboro and South Keys community earlier this month.

Look inside for the

how the crimes were carried out and which weapons and disguises were used.

A 14-year-old male suspect, of Ottawa, who Haarbosch said is known to police but not to the robbery unit, turned himself in at the Elgin Street police headquarters building on Aug. 17 at 1 a.m. He was scheduled to appear in court later that same day.

In Your Community Newspaper*

land Media there was very little delay between when the crimes occurred and when police issued their warning.

“We had the two on the 11th and there were discussions with the investigators,” he said. “By Monday morning (Aug. 15) we were confident that the three of them (the crimes) were linked, and then we went out with the release on Tuesday (Aug.

16).

“Just because something occurs in the same area geographically doesn’t necessarily mean it’s automatically connected,” Haarbosch said.

There were several elements officers needed to explore before that linkage was established, including interviewing witnesses, comparing statements and descriptions, investigating

Passenger drop-offs at Walkley already an issue: residents Continued from page 1

That didn’t happen, and the alternative option of commuting by bus to Carleton University where he works can take more than an hour.

“So what do I do? I drive,” said Wood, who is now look-

ing forward to one day catching the light-rail train at a future Walkley station. “If there was a train it would make such a difference.”

But other residents raised concerns about safety during a consultation meeting on Aug. 17 at the Jim Dur-

rell Recreation Centre in Alta Vista, where project officials turned to the public for ideas on how to best connect communities to future light-rail stations at Walkley, Greenboro and South Keys.

Riverview Park resident Terry Wood (no relation to

David Wood) regularly drops off his daughter at the Walkley Road transit overpass to catch her bus. “It’s on a bridge and it’s a real safety hazard,” said Wood, one of more than 40 people at the meeting. “It’s going to be an even greater problem with the LRT be-

cause there will be more traffic. There’s no place to drop off passengers if you’re driving and letting someone off.”

LRT project leaders acknowledged there is no room at the Walkley stop for a parking lot.

Security for late-night LRT

passengers was also raised.

“What we’re seeing in this neighbourhood is a very large increase in crime, especially for off-peak workers,” said Riverside Park resident Craig Searle.

Trillium line extension, parkway widening plans in synch: director Continued from page 4

“There’s a lot of crime at South Keys, Greenboro and Walkley, and it’s increasing, and violent crime,” he said.

“There’s got to be some provision for getting people to these focal points.”

Bruno Lepage, the city’s traffic lead on the Stage 2 light-rail project, said train passengers will be travelling within fare-controlled zones.

“Everybody that’s with you is a customer,” he said.

But Searle challenged this saying, “You can get mugged on a subway.”

Stations will be monitored with cameras 24/7, and some of the larger stations will have station supervisors.

“So at least you’re not alone,” Lepage said.

David Hutchinson, president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association, hopes bus routes will be modified to provide a year-round feeder bus service from Walkley Road, Riverside Drive, Springland Drive and McCarthy Road, for example, to the Walkley station.

“There’s a big gap between that station and the nearest house, and I just think that the whole neighbourhood relies on cars,” he said. “It’s not realistic for someone who isn’t robust physically to walk to that station.”

Staff said a future feeder bus schedule is still being worked out, but that a busrapid-transit system at Walkley will continue to be offered.

Meanwhile, Terry Wood questioned how cyclists will be able to navigate Walkley Road between the future station and the Airport Parkway once that north-south route is widened

and an off-ramp is built.

Both he and Riverside Park resident Paul Herlihey questioned whether the Trillium line extension and the parkway widening plans compliment each other.

“It’s great to have this transit station here, it’s a big plus,” said Wood. “But we have to think carefully about how to connect it to the community.

There are existing problems now that are not being addressed for safety.”

According to Chris Swail, director of Stage 2 LRT, the two projects are not being planned in isolation.

“As both the Trillium Line extension study and the Airport Parkway and Lester Road widening study were

completed concurrently, the two studies closely took into account planning with both facilities in mind and how they would best operate together, collectively,” Swail said.

River Coun. Riley Brockington, whose ward will include the Walkley train station, said questions were raised about cycling safety along Walkley Road, and how people will be able to get from the bus stop at Walkley over to the LRT stop on the other side.

They would have to use the stairs or elevators there to transfer to their next ride, which can be difficult if they have a bicycle, stroller or cart, he said.

A connection, such as a

tunnel, is one idea, said Brockington, who was joined at the meeting by Alta Vista Coun.

Jean Cloutier and Ottawa South MPP John Fraser.

“I don’t think you can build a bridge because the clearance is low underneath Walkley Road and you have buses and other vehicles going by,” he said, but added a tunnel may

be cost-prohibitive.

Public comments will be compiled and key aspects and any changes to station connectivity will be included in a report to council in September. But the public can submit feedback until December 2016.

Herongate apartment complex plans gaining traction Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Herongate residents will likely be welcoming several hundred new neighbours to the community within the next couple of years.

Plans are moving forward by property owner Timbercreek Developments to construct three six-storey apartment buildings that will be home to 436 bachelor, one-, two- and three-bedroom units and a 150-square-metre corner convenience store.

“Heron Road is an important street that could use (new businesses),” Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said.

“With 1435 Heron (Road) or the Federal Study Centre (across the street), there might be some (residential) development there in the future so modest commercial on the ground floor at Heron and Sandalwood might be a good thing.”

Jack Stirling, with Ottawa-based Stirling Group, who is consulting on the project and submitted Timbercreek’s site plan control

TIMBERCREEK APPLICATION/CITY OF OTTAWA WEBSITE

Design documents offer a glimpse of the three new Timbercreek apartment buildings planned for the Herongate community over the next year. The six-storey buildings will feature 436 units, and come with 351 underground vehicle parking spots and 220 bicycle parking spaces. application to the city, said the convenience store aspect is part of a larger plan.

“They want to try and

upgrade the streetscape and make it more active,” he said.

“Timbercreek would like there to be a convenience

(store), retail, even possibly a restaurant in the faces of one of these buildings that would serve the buildings

and serve the surrounding area,” he said. “But for now the effort is to try to get a convenience store.

“This is stage one of a whole redevelopment plan for the whole area so there’s going to be other applications over the years to come,” said Stirling, referring to the future redevelopment of aging sections of Timbercreek’s Herongate properties.

The current redevelopment will replace a dozen townhouse complexes, where 54 families lived but were told to move by the end of February, and some underground parking. Demolition of the homes, which were the oldest rental units in Herongate, is nearing completion and the site will be prepped for construction.

But what the councillor found most striking and appealing about the redevelopment plan for 2816 Sandalwood Dr., along Heron Road, is that it now calls for two and three bedrooms “for larger families,” beyond the one- and two-bedroom

units that were initially considered.

“This is outstanding,” Cloutier said.

“There were some concerns about many larger families want to move to that area. I think it’s responsive to the needs of the community.”

The new complex will also feature ground-floor patios, balconies, 220 bicycle parking spots and 351 underground vehicle parking spaces.

Though Cloutier is enthusiastic about the project, which will encompass 1.64 hectares of land, he still has several questions that need answers, including details about a centralized landscaped area between the buildings.

That space will, in fact, serve as a central courtyard for tenants, Stirling confirmed.

The design for the buildings may also need some work, said Cloutier.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Mauril Belanger’s legacy lives on

I

t wasn’t a surprise. Everyone knew it was coming.

And yet, when the news came that long-time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger had died on Aug. 16, it was like a sucker-punch to the gut of this city.

For Belanger (1955-2016) seemed to have touched the heart of almost everyone he ever came into contact with. The tributes that have been voiced in the wake of his passing, at the much too young age of 61 after a short battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), speak to that.

Yes, there have been tributes from the high and mighty.

Tributes have come from the prime minister to the governor general. They have come from political colleagues in the federal Liberal party, and from political foes from the Conservatives and the NDP. They have come from city officials, from the mayor to councillors from across the city, and not just from the east end of the city where Belanger made his political home.

All have been sincere, and all have praised Belanger’s tireless efforts over the years as a champion

of all Canadians’ rights, be they Franco-Ontarians such as himself, or his final effort to have our national anthem changed to better reflect the changing times so that it was gender all-inclusive.

But for all the high praise from the political world that has been showered upon Belanger since his death, it is likely that the tributes from just ordinary folks in the city are the ones that would have meant the most to him and mean the most to his family.

And in Belanger’s case, there is no doubt that those he served as their MP deeply feel the loss that comes with his death.

In the end, that is the true test of someone’s impact upon a community, so we will let these words speak for the many: “He was a true gentleman, in both civilian and political life. He took a moment at every event he was at to shake my hand and ask me about my life, my family, no matter how busy he was ... I’m not trying to canonize him, but he was a good man,� said Jeff Kaluski, president of the Beacon Hill Community Association.

And that is the ultimate tribute, that he indeed was a good man.

Weather a hot topic of conversation

R

emember when it was OK to talk about the weather?

Some of us still do talk about it, regardless.

The heat — like the cold, which we can look forward to as well — is a handy topic of conversation, in case we need one.

Sometimes we do, especially when other topics, such as political ones, become too depressing, or when we encounter someone with whom we have nothing in common.

And it has been hot, right? Hotter than ‌ when? Well, that’s part of the conversation.

The older guys will surely remember a time when it was far hotter than this.

People were frying eggs on the sidewalk, the milk truck horses were fainting, the corn was as high as a dachshund’s eye — that kind

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town of thing.

And dry? What about the lawn and the petunias? Even artificial turf is parched, they say.

The other night people were sitting outside having a dinner party, listening to the splashes from the swimming pool next door, and hoping for a thunder storm.

That’s unnatural.

There can be a nifty conversation about coping strategies.

Drinking hot tea, for example, which some people swear by. Running through the sprinkler.

But then someone might scold you for wasting water.

People who have air conditioning will moan about how much it’s costing them in hydro bills.

People who don’t have AC will complain about how the people with AC are destroying the environment.

All because it’s hot.

Old-timers will talk about going to air-conditioned movies to beat the heat.

Those with shorter memories will praise the air conditioning on OC Transpo buses. That will lead some people to suggest that with the cost of bus fares it might be cheaper to get air conditioning.

You see how much conversation we can get out of a little heat?

It’s less confusing to talk about than baseball, not to mention electoral reform.

And in the old days it was less controversial than anything, a truly safe topic of conversation.

The problem now is that this is no longer true. The heat is a hot topic.

The arrival of climate change as a political issue has caused this.

There are those who don’t believe climate change exists, on the one side.

And there are those who believe climate change is such an imminent risk that we should no longer fly on airplanes. The sides are not equal: the bulk of opinion, scientific and otherwise, supports the idea that climate change is happening and that it is, to a large extent man-made.

But that doesn’t stop people from arguing about it. Sure, there’s climate change, some people say, but there has always been climate change.

Look at the Ice Age. Sure, there’s climate change, other people say, but we can’t do anything about it without destroying the economy. Sure, there’s climate change, say the most gloomy of us, but it’s too late to fix it.

The argument rages on, seemingly hotter the warmer the temperature. Some people think we have all sinned, to cause all this heat. Other people resent being called sinners.

And there you are, wondering whether to bump up the AC. When the rain comes, as it must, it’s time to shift the complaint to inadequate storm sewers. We’re nothing if not versatile.

While they will each have staggered heights so as not to resemble a large wall, Cloutier said he wants to make sure the complex “has a really nice built form that looks great from a variety of perspectives, and that it goes well with as it faces the park and as it faces the neighbours along Heron Road.”

Neither Cloutier nor Stirling knew how much apartment rents will be.

“I care very much that it be affordable, clean and appropriate for the area where it is being built,” said Cloutier.

Though large swaths of Herongate tend to attract people living on tighter budgets, Cloutier said it’s important for neighbourhoods to have a blend of housing.

“You can incorporate affordable housing within a development,” he said, adding that the city can ask a developer to reserve 10 per cent of available units for city subsidies. “Because we don’t want to ghettoize any areas of the city and have all persons of a single socio-demographic group in one area.

“What I want to see is a good, vibrant community that will enhance the quality of life for all, that will create good focal points for the community,” Cloutier said, adding that other priorities include environmental sustainability and prioritizing

Licence sticker prices going up again for car owners Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

The cost to renew an Ontario licence plate will go up again this September.

The annual cost for a southern

Ontario sticker will be $120 as of Sept. 1. A northern Ontario plate will cost $60.

According to the Ministry of Transportation, the revenue generated from licence plate sticker fees is directed into general revenues,

which support all government investments, including investments in provincial transportation infrastructure. “These revenues help to ensure that the province has adequate funds to maintain our provincial

roads and bridges in good repair for the benefit of all road users,� the ministry said in a written email statement.

The cost for a sticker renewal has increased by 62 per cent since 2011 for southern Ontario residents, when it was then only $74.

For northern Ontario residents the cost has risen from $41 to $60 – an increase of 46 per cent.

It was in March 2012, when the

Ontario government announced it would be phasing in fee increases for driver and vehicle licence fees.

According to the ministry, Ontario has been increasing these fees in an effort to ensure provincial roads, bridges and highways are safe and in good repair for future generations.

Prior to the increase in 2012, licence plate sticker fees had not increased since 1997.

The cost to renew a licence plate sticker is going up again this September. The cost will rise to $120 from $108 in southern Ontario. The cost to renew in northern Ontario will also rise from to $60 from $54.

Pop-up park improvements trial run for Herongate changes Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A well-worn gravel path that cuts through Herongate’s Sandalwood Park, connecting people to a plethora of shops and services, recently underwent a transformation – albeit a temporary one.

But it’s hoped those changes will someday become permanent to boost safety, improve access and promote cycling and walking in the neighbourhood, said Trevor Haché, secretary and past president of the Healthy Transportation Coalition, which is made up of individuals, organizations and businesses working to increase healthy transportation policies and boost infrastructure investments in the region.

He joined several of the organization’s volunteers at the park on Aug. 20 during a Herongate community fun day, where they laid out heavy-duty mats along the path to simulate a paved surface and installed solar lights along the trail.

“The pop-up project idea is basically to demonstrate over a short period of time what the improvements would mean to people, to give them the opportunity to see the improvements in place,” Haché said, “and to reimagine their neighburhood and their lives, even if it’s just for a short time, to

MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND

To highlight the Herongate community’s desire for Sandalwood Park improvements, members of the Healthy Transportation Coalition, including Trevor Haché, left, Gillian FitzGibbon, Gada Nohra and Kathryn Hunt, created a pop-up pathway there on Aug. 20. recognize that these things would be great if they were made permanent.”

The coalition’s plan now is to work with Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, whom the group first met with this spring, to see if the improvements can be included in the 2017 city budget.

“We just hope the city can make these investments because we want to encourage people to walk and bike more often,” Haché said, adding that some wheelchair-users have said the

poor condition of the path has almost caused them to tip over.

However, there are no immediate plans to ask for funds, said Cloutier.

“It is likely that it wouldn’t be approved in the next few budgets,” he said, adding that while he doesn’t know how much it would cost to pave the path, budgets are exceptionally tight these days.

Still, there is hope.

“As a result of the growth in the area – i.e., the three

new buildings and the 436 units – there might be some money there,” Cloutier said, referring to plans to build

three six-storey apartment buildings at the north end of the park.

It’s possible development charges or cash-in-lieu-ofparkland funds from that project could pay for improvements.

“Does that mean that paved pathway? Does that mean lighting in the park?

Or does that mean a new play structure or a splash pad?” said Cloutier, who plans to speak with city parks and recreation staff, as well as the coalition, about the options.

During the Herongate fun day, more than 100 people filled out the coalition’s survey asking them whether they support the pathway being paved and lighting added.

While Haché said there was near majority support, Cloutier said it’s not unusual for a survey to get that kind of response with such a direct line of questions.

“The question is always, how are we going to pay for it, how will we maintain it to

the standards that it needs to be?” he said.

But Haché said the coalition’s pop-up initiative was 18 months in the making, and the project was based on feedback gathered during numerous discussions in the community.

It is one of six pop-up projects the group is spearheading in some lower-income communities in Ottawa thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

In addition to seeing the short cut paved in the cityowned Sandalwood Park, residents have also said they would like it cleared of snow every winter.

“It’s a path that people use to get to and from the grocery story and other commercial destinations in the area,” said Haché. A shopping district is located just east of the park.

But Cloutier said snowclearing also comes at a cost.

Early Bird Registration Now Open for Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital The City of Ottawa and Tim Hortons are pleased to announce the annual Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital campaign, which will take place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Early-bird registration is now available.

No plans to ask for 2017 funding: councillor Continued from page 11

The wish list for change includes lighting to improve safety at night for pedestrians and cyclists and to allow people to play on the soccer pitch, Haché said.

Lights are currently only used at the north end of the park during the winter when the skating rink is set up.

“From a safety perspective, it’s not necessarily great to walk through a dark park in the evening,” he said.

He also noted that lights could even be placed on a timer.

There is a city policy that

doesn’t allow night-time lighting in parks, said Cloutier, “because it encourages people to stay in the park after dark, and sometimes that is not always the desirable thing.”

Still, he said paving the pathway may very well be a priority for residents since the short cut is used to connect people to shops. He said he would first consult with residents to better understand their needs.

“There’s no lack of needs, there’s no lack of wants, but resources are sometimes hard, so it’s a question of balance,” Cloutier said.

TREVOR HACHÉ/SUBMITTED

Solar lights outline a gravel pathway in Sandalwood Park in Herongate on Aug. 20 to demonstrate lighting options for the area. Many residents have indicated their wish that the path be paved and lights added to improve safety for residents.

Forever a child when spending time with mom BRYNNA LESLIE

W

henever my mom comes to visit, I revert to adolescent habits.

I stay up too late, mouth off and generally stuff my face with as much chips and beer as she tells me not to.

Recently, she came to stay for two weeks.

The first week, we were confined to a tiny mobile home rental on Lake Ontario – me, my mom and three children.

Mom’s intentions are good – wake up, get the kids breakfast, let the adolescent (ie: me) sleep in. After a day or two, however, I realized I was rebelling more and more. I couldn’t figure it out.

Maybe it was the lectures. Every statement to the children or to me had a “should” attached to it.

Like any adult who’s being told what to do, I did the opposite.

“You shouldn’t carry your kayak like that; you’ll

Capital Muse

hurt your back,” said the wise woman. So I hauled my kayak on my forearm all week, just to be spiteful.

“If you’re going in the pool, you should shower so you don’t get germs in the water,” said mom.

So maybe I didn’t bother showering for two days.

“You should put some jewelry on if we’re going shopping in town,” she said. I took my earrings out permanently for the week.

The other thing mom does is recount all the old stories from when I was kid.

If one of mine is misbehaving, she likens it to something my brother did at that age. If I have a disagreement with my spouse on the phone, I get a story about conflict in marriage

and how to avoid divorce.

Really, what it comes down to is a battle of control. She wants to be the alpha female, so I over-assert myself to be the master. The kids, sadly, are caught in the middle of our primitive dance for control.

Generally by the end of mom’s stay I’m so tense, I burst. Like any solid teenage girl, I have an emotion-fuelled, illogical temper tantrum about the injustice of the world.

“I would never have spoken to my mother like that,” mom says.

But I continue. Like a good adolescent daughter, I blame my mother for the state of my life affairs, world affairs and the failure of our vacation week, completely discounting all the good.

And then I feel bad and cry. When I come up for air, I usually apologize for being such an ingrate, thank mom for letting me sleep in, for encourag-

ing me to go to the spa without kids and generally doing all the awesome grandmother stuff that enriches the children’s lives and mine.

For the last two days of our vacation, we’re at

peace. Mom has discontinued the lectures and family stories. I’ve put my jewelry back on and started showering again.

Sadly, she’s gone back to the U.K. again.

I always cry on the way

home from the airport, as I’ve done since I was 12 when she first moved there.

The good thing about mom is that she’s everforgiving. Despite my unforgiveable rebellion, she’ll come back.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Ottawa hospitals to receive $1.5M for ER nursing hours The province is providing more than $16 million to cover the cost of 300,000 nursing hours at sites across Ontario. Of that, a total of $1.5 million will go to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses and the Montfort and QueenswayCarleton hospitals.

“Our emergency department sees a growth of between two and five per cent of volume in visits every year, and that really puts a strain on the system,” Renate Ilse, vice-president of clinical programs at the Ottawa Hospital, said during an announcement at the General campus on Aug. 19.

“And it can actually plug up the emergency departments so that when the ambulances come in it’s very difficult to offload the non-priority patients in a timely way.

“So programs like this and this funding really, really helps us.”

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An ambulance rolls up to a hospital’s emergency department and paramedics quickly bustle their sick or injured patient inside.

Up until about five years ago, a patient in stable condition with a less severe health condition likely had to wait for hours to be seen by a doctor, depending on how swamped the ER was.

That delay meant paramedics were also forced to wait, sitting on the sidelines unable to respond to 911 calls, until their patient was finally moved into the department’s clinical area for treatment.

A new round of muchneeded dollars for 49 hospitals in 20 Ontario municipalities, including Ottawa, will ensure wait times don’t climb beyond about a half hour.

LIQUIDATION SALE RIDEAU AUCTIONS INC.

This year’s renewed funding will cover the cost of almost 11,000 nursing hours at the Civic and General emergency departments. That works out to about 15 hours a day at each campus, seven days a week. At the Montfort and Queensway-Carleton hospitals, that translates to about 11 hours a day each.

The program has made a difference in reducing ambulance offload times since its inception in 2008-09. Before that, 90 per cent of patients were waiting for ER care an average of more than two hours.

“With the application of this program that time has been brought down to between 30 and 40 minutes,” said Dr. Guy Hébert, an emergency room doctor who oversees both the General and Civic emergency departments.

Flour and sugar bags had many uses LRT Stage 2 Connectivity Public Consultation On August 30th, I will be hosting a public consultation on connectivity for the new Bowesville Station in Riverside South as part of the Stage 2 project for LRT. This is an opportunity for you to provide valuable feedback to staff on how we can connect this new state-of-the-art station to the surrounding community through multi-use paths, trails and cycling connections. The public consultation will be taking place from 7pm-9pm on at the Rideauview Community Centre located at 4310 Shoreline Drive.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this important transit initiative.

Congratulations to the Winners of the Riverside South Road Hockey Tournament Despite the heavy rain on August 13th, there were still huge crowds at this year’s Riverside South Road Hockey Tournament.

Thank you to all the organizers and teams who made this event possible. Congratulations to this year’s winners: The Benchwarmers in the Veterans Division and the Riverside Renegades in the Young Guns Division. This is was a great community event and I look forward to attending and sponsoring similar events in the future.

Parking on Residential Streets Residents are reminded that unless otherwise posted, parking on residential streets in Ottawa is subject to a 3 hour maximum limit. This regulation is the current City-wide bylaw and follows similar regulations for other Canadian municipalities. The three hour parking limit is in place from 7:00am to 7:00pm to deter long-term parking on city streets. It also allows residents and visitors alike the opportunity to use residential streets for parking, and prevents the streets from being used as permanent areas for vehicle storage. This also ensures that our streets remain as safe as possible. Should you notice any violations of this bylaw on your street, contact 3-1-1 to create a request for enforcement.

Seniors Activities in Riverside South The Barrhaven Seniors Council is pleased to offer a number of activities for seniors in Riverside South. Activities begin the week of September 12th and include Euchre, Mahjong, Cribbage, Bridge, Dominos and a number of other programs. The Council is also organizing a bus trip for seniors on Tuesday, October 4th to the Ottawa Valley to see some of its beautiful Fall colours. To book your spot on this trip or to find out more about what the Council has to offer, please email barrhavenseniors@gmail.com or call 613-796-6520.

M

other was ready to tackle another batch of flour and sugar bags. If she was lucky, she got a sugar bag from Mr. Briscoe at the General Store in Northcote after he finished filling paper bags to put on the shelf in different pound sizes.

These bags were smaller than the ones she got at the gristmill, but the printed dye, for some reason, was much harder to get rid of. Depending on what she made out of the flour bags, getting all the dye out wasn’t all that important.

It wasn’t unusual to crawl into sheets, made from four opened flour bags, and to still have Red Roses Flour printed for all to see.

When Mother was tackling the dye in the bags, you would know what she was doing when you came in the gate at the back yard.

You could smell javel water and lye soap a mile away.

Once the bags had been washed at least three times, their seams opened, and all the strings and threads gotten rid of, came the job of trying to make the bags suitable for tea towels, underpants

MARY COOK Memories for my sister and me, and of course, pinny aprons, and more often than not, blouses.

But getting the dye out was a major job for Mother.

The bags would soak overnight in the copper washtub, and if Mother was lucky, the dyes would have greatly faded from the jar of javel water.

Using the tongs she used when getting the whites out of boiling water and into the washtub, she would pull each bag out and put it in the big granite dishpan.

This was when she would know if the whole exercise was a complete bust.

Which more often than not, it was.

For the very best of the bags, the smaller sugar bags, for instance, they would be further treated to a wash of

water and lemon juice, and then spread out on the grass to let the sun finish the job. Sadly, that didn’t always work either, and there it would be, the printing, as large as life, maybe a little bit faded, but far from being completely removed.

I could see the look on Mother’s face when the javel water didn’t work. It was the same look she got when she tried to make over something that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, realizing the hopelessness of the whole exercise, because the suit material was too heavy, the silk dress too fancy, or, as in many cases, what she took out of the box was fit only for the rag bag.

After the kitchen was redded up, Audrey was sent out to bring in the few flour bags, and the one sugar bag which had been treated to the beating sun for the whole afternoon. Sadly, the printing was as bold as ever.

Mother sighed, got out the scissors, and got down to the job of figuring out what could be made. Some would become “not for company” tea towels.

The few, which had faded the most, would do for pillowslips and sheets.

She held up the one sugar bag, limp from so many washings and javel treatments, and decided it would have to do for a few dishcloths.

Then she called me over to the sewing machine, held up one of the flour bags, measured my body from the waist to my knees, and began cutting it up.

There was no such thing as having a pattern to go by. I knew I was in for another pair of flour bag bloomers.

Bloomers made out of flour or sugar bags would not be the most comfortable of underwear until they had been washed many times.

For the first few times of wearing them, they felt like pieces of cardboard against your body, and the tight elastic in the legs didn’t help to soften them either.

Mother had the new bloomers finished before I went to bed.

I would wear them often during the summer, breaking them in, and grateful that by the time I went back to the Northcote School, the bright red and blue words, “PRIDE OF THE VALLEY” across the seat would be all but faded away.

Continued from page 21

“In other words, we’re very successful in getting (patients) off the ambulance stretcher into a clinical care bed and that permits the ambulances to go back out there at the ready for the community,” he said. “It saves an immense amount of time and it accelerates the start of care for the patient.”

Of the ambulance offload patients brought to the Ottawa Hospital emergency departments, 15 per cent of cases are considered lower to moderate severity.

Still, an average of 60 ambulances arrive every day at each Ottawa Hospital campus.

“I’m sure a good 40 to 45 of those would qualify to benefit from the offload (nursing service),” Hébert said.

“And we want that to continue,” said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who also serves as parliamentary assistant to Ontario’s minister of Health and Long-Term Care.

“The standard is about 30 minutes and once it goes over that it begins to affect the effectiveness of our emergency services,” he said. “So we want to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

“I do want to stress that those patients that arrive at hospital with life-threatening conditions will be given that high priority,” he said, flanked at the announcement by Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi.

Patient volumes soared after the Montfort Hospital opened its new ER in 2010. It saw a jump by 20,000 patients, bringing the annual total to 55,000 or 150 to 160 patients a day.

“We did see quite a significant improvement with that program so it needs to be sustained,” said Dr. Bernard Leduc, president and chief executive of the Montfort Hospital.

Fraser acknowledged the growing demand for emergency medicine and the desire for more money, not just renewed dollars.

“The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is working with the paramedic services and the hospitals on a plan going forward for 2017-2018,” he said. “We’re continuing to be committed to this program and we’re going to improve it.”

An interview with Ottawa paramedic officials was not possible before press time.

Ottawa Police Service Lately, there have been a number of issues that have both questioned the judgement of the Police Chief and some members of City Council have taken a hard line on members of the OPS who have raised concerns publicly about issues affecting the morale of the force. Let me first state that in many situations, when most of us run away from danger, our women and men who work in emergency services are normally the first to run in. Their jobs are stressful and at times thankless but when they show up to assist us in our time of need, we understand how much we appreciate their dedication and service to our community. I have never questioned this and I know River Ward residents support our first responders.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Dr. Guy Hébert, an emergency room doctor who also oversees the emergency departments at the General and Civic campuses of the Ottawa Hospital, says provincial funding for ER nurses who monitor less urgent patients after they are brought in by ambulance frees up paramedics and ensures care is received more quickly.

The Ottawa Police Services Board is a seven-member civilian body that oversees the Ottawa Police Service. The Board is responsible for setting the overall objectives and priorities for the provision of police services. It is also responsible for hiring and monitoring the performance of the Chief, approving the annual police budget, and preparing a business plan for the Police Service every three years. Three City Councillors sit on the Board: Chair Eli El-Chantiry, Councillor Jan Harder and Councillor Tim Tierney.

Performance issues regarding the Chief, go through this Board, not City Council. When residents of River Ward bring issues to my attention that involve the Police, I normally share them with Chair El-Chantiry and we develop a response. In 2015, when the lack of police attention and enforcement to speeding issues was paramount in the ward, I made a presentation to the Police Services Board, underlining the need in our community.

Members of the Ottawa Police Services, from constable to Chief, have an internal framework that exists to report issues/concerns, including the ability to file grievances through their union. Issues that impact morale are serious and need to be addressed immediately. I do not share the sentiment that OPS members should just keep their mouth closed or resign if they think morale is low, quite the contrary.

I believe it is the responsibility of both the Police Chief and Police Services Board to study recent survey results and determine the root causes that impact morale and address them.

Policing is not an easy profession and the industry itself continues to evolve. The residents of Ottawa support their first responders, but first responders need to know that when they have issues in their place of work, they will be addressed.

Slow Down for Us-Lawn Signs Residents who live in school zones or on streets with a fair number of children are encouraged to contact my office to have a Slow Down for Us lawn sign erected on your front grass. With school about to reconvene, the signs are part of a city-wide campaign to remind all motorists to slow down and keep a watchful eye on our youngest residents. The speed of traffic on our local, residential streets continues to be a main concern for me. Please respect posted speed limits and help keep our community safe.

Unhealthy behaviours cut six years from Canadians’ lifespans, Ottawa study reveals Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Snuff out that cigarette, lace up your sneakers and start snacking on some veggies.

Unhealthy behaviours related to smoking, diet, physical inactivity and alcohol are shaving six years from the lives of Canadians, and causing about half of all deaths here.

“If no Canadians smoked and we all did our 150 minutes of physical activity a week, the Canadian life expectancy would be six years longer,” Dr. Doug Manuel, an Ottawa family doctor, public health researcher and lead author of a study published Aug. 16 in the medical journal PLOS Medicine.

Those six years came as a surprise to Manuel.

“I’m always expecting it to be lower,” he said. “I’m always taken aback by the magnitude – how important health behaviours are or how healthy living is important to your health.

“It’s huge,” he said. “Fifty per cent of deaths we attribute to unhealthy living.”

The survey revealed that: • 26 per cent of deaths were caused by smoking, • 24 per cent of deaths can be blamed on physical inactivity, • 12 per cent of deaths were caused by poor diet, • 0.4 per cent of deaths were due to unhealthy alcohol consumption.

“We’re not surprised that smoking is number one,” Manuel said, though added that smoking rates in Canada are improving. “But we are surprised that physical activity and diet is quickly approaching what smoking is.”

Top risk factors were also broken down by gender. Smoking shaved 3.1 years from the lives of Canadian men, while women lost three years due to physical inactivity.

Ottawa Hospital/ Submitted

A new Ottawa-led study shows that unhealthy behaviours are killing half of all Canadians and trimming our lifespan by six years.

Lead study author Dr. Doug Manuel, left, hopes the study’s results and its method will direct policy changes and engage Canadians.

SOME GOOD NEWS

The decline in smoking rates has made a big difference in the health of Canadians, and diet and physical activity rates are improving.

There are also modest improvements in our fruit and vegetable intake. Trans fats have also declined within the food industry, which is helping.

“I’m saying there is optimism,” Manuel said.

The results of the study, which reflect 98 per cent of Canadians, are not only eyeopening, but also ground breaking in the way scientific researchers crunched the data.

“What we presented to that journal is saying this is a new way of estimating the burden from smoking and these other health behaviours compared to what (the World Health Organization) and others have been doing for quite a while,” said Manuel, who is also a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital, a senior medical adviser at Statistics Canada, a professor at the University of Ottawa and a lead public health researcher at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, which funded the study with Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

to look at the health factors, and created a predictive algorithm – a formula known as the MPoRT Mortality Population Risk Tool – to predict death based on the responses to the Canadian Community Health Survey, which asked about Canadians’ health behaviours.

The researchers followed up to find out whether participants had died and the contributing causes of death.

New computer programs had to be developed to execute the algorithm, which is being made available to other countries for their own studies.

It’s hoped the Canadian study’s results and methods will help direct change in this country.

“For us as scientists, it’s providing the tools for those ‘what ifs’ for the policy folks to be able to evaluate or test out different policies,” said Manuel. “There’s not a lot of estimates, believe it or not, when we’re developing

policies for smoking or other things.”

The hope is also that this will draw Canadians into the health discussion.

HOW HEALTHY ARE YOU?

The public can also determine their estimated life expectancy by answering questions about their health behaviours at www.projectbiglife.ca, an updated lifespan calculator first developed by the research team during an earlier study focusing on the health behaviours of Ontarians.

The survey demonstrates that if changes are made, years could be added to their lives.

The team has already been working on another study to compare Canada internationally, including the U.S. Other risk factors, like cholesterol, have been added to that survey.

Those findings are expected in six months to a year.

Some advice for parents of teens that are about to start college or university Do you feel anxious, insecure and nostalgic as your teenagers begin their post-secondary education?

It’s normal.

Your children are now young adults, and you may be feeling unsure of your role in their schooling now that they’re becoming more and more independent.

Here are some tips for handling this situation: • Encourage your children to verbalize their feelings about continuing their studies at a post-secondary level.

• Show that you support them and are truly inte­rested in their studies.

• Make sure your children are aware of the im­portance of attending classes regularly.

• Be on the lookout for signs of fatigue and a lack of interest or motivation. If you

see any of these, don’t judge their behaviour; try to understand it.

• Don’t focus only on their marks. If your children aren’t very talkative about their marks, don’t keep at it all the time. Keep communication channels open by asking general questions. How is school going? Are you happy with your program? Which activities interest you the most?

• Ask about which student support services are available at the institution (academic or career guidance, learning support, psychological counselling, etc.). If necessary, en­courage your children to use these services.

Lastly, don’t underestimate the role you can play as a parent in your child’s post-secondary education.

Be available and attentive, because your support is crucial.

Congratulate kids for their effort while doing homework

Take the stress out of doing homework by encouraging your child’s efforts.

TAEKW

It’s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what it’s like for them, after a whole day of school.

Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework.

These strategies can help make this obligation more fun for everybody.

• Play school with your child. Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words.

This is especially effective if you create a “blackboard” with a piece of paper taped to the wall.

• Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball.

• Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of concentrated effort (or any other

ratio that works).

• Invest in some educational computer software that will help your son feel excited about learning grammar, math, and other subjects.

• Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can finish her math homework in fewer than 15 minutes.

Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you don’t want to discourage her.

• List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written “take a 10 minute break” or “enjoy a second story at bedtime”; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs.

• Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts. Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Back to class fall registration Keys to a positive return to school We are approaching the time of year when families jump out of holidays and start their back to school routine. Here are a few tips to help make the back to school transition easier: 1. A great day starts with a good night’s sleep. Staying up late in the summer is a habit that a lot of kids and parents get into. A few weeks before school starts up, make sure that a regular nighttime routine is followed. Put the kids to bed earlier and wake them up at the time they would have to get up for school. This will help them ease into the earlier mornings once classes begin.

2. Get yourself up and ready first. Parents also need to get into the swing of things when kids go back to school. Get up slightly earlier than normal to make

sure you have time for yourself and your kids. Making breakfast and lunch, packing book bags and getting outfits ready takes some extra time, and you don’t want to throw off your own morning routine.

Just because it is fall

3. Continue exercising.

Just because it’s the fall doesn’t mean keeping fit should slow down. Studies show that kids who exercise every day perform better in school. Encourage your kids to stay active by walking them to the bus stop or letting them ride their bikes or walk to school. If those sneakers are showing wear from all that summer fun, pick up a new pair for travelling to school and for gym class. A wide variety of styles

and sizes are available across the country at Sport Chek.

4. Schedule appointments.

Plan ahead and book any necessary appointments and checkups before school starts, including teeth cleaning, vaccinations and haircuts. Getting these out of the way now means your child won’t have to miss school later.

5. Reestablish routines that may have been forgotten. Get back into building a routine with your kids, including early dinners, book bag packing and a bedtime story. Ensure your child’s backpack can hold all their supplies and fits them properly, particularly if they have grown over the summer.

Sport Chek carries backpacks in a variety of shapes Submitted

Sleep very important to having academic success Do your teenagers sleep a lot? Good!

In order to be fit and able to absorb lots of new information, adolescents should get between nine and 10 hours of sleep a day.

If your teens have a tendency to go to bed around midnight and then get up at seven in the morning to go to school, they’re probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep.

Sleeping in till noon on Saturday won’t help them recover.

During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep.

Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can

undergo ab­ rupt changes in level.

On top of that, many teena­gers neglect their sleep because of a busy schedule.

A young person who doesn’t get enough sleep will have trouble getting up in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, ner­vous, irritable and depressed.

academic performance, encourage your teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and get up every day at the same time.

• Turn off all screens (including cell phones) at least one hour before going to bed.

• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; try a glass of warm milk, a warm bath and listening to soft music.

• Don’t drink any caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks) after the middle of the afternoon.

Be sure to talk to a healthcare professional if your teenagers lack energy despite a stable sleep routine.

Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes?

Are they complaining about always eating the same old thing?

Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these brilliant ideas.

You can put your children’s favourite leftovers in an insulated container or a mi­crowaveable dish.

You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes.

Cut strips of chuck roast eaten in the evening to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the remains of a roasted chicken. Even eaten cold, these dishes help beat the monotony of the usual fare.

For sandwiches, forget sliced white

bread; it contains little nutrition and can get boring.

Opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas. Fill the sandwich with home cooked meats cut into strips, or use hummus, tofu mix, cheese, or tuna — all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts.

Con­ diments don’t have to be the traditional mustard and mayonnaise.

Why not try ranch dressing, pesto, or guacamole for a change?

The fruits and vegetables food group also benefits from a bit of variety.

The celery and carrot duo can give way to zucchini, peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower. And berries, a peach, or a pear make a change from the ubiquitous apple.

Bon appétit!

Volunteers Invigorate THE RIDE By: Shelley McLean

A volunteer: Someone who contributes time, effort and talent to meet a need or further a mission, without getting paid.

Our mission atTHE RIDE is to revolutionize cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital and on September 11, hundreds of volunteers will not only ensure all of our cyclists have what they need but they will provide enthusiasm.

The OHRI (Ottawa Hospital Research Institute) Pit Crew is supportingTHE RIDE once again this year. Sheila De Marinis spearheads this volunteer group, which has been withTHE RIDE since the very beginning.

De Marinis says it’s become her team’s trademark over the past six years.

“It gives us the opportunity to connect with the riders if they simply ride by or if they should decide to stop. We have assisted many riders over the years with not only handing out drinks and food, but solving small problems.”

For De Marinis and the OHRI team, volunteering is invigorating. ”We have received comments over the years, that simply seeing a familiar face at a pit stop has given riders the strength to carry on and finishTHE RIDE. Even though they’re focused on cycling, all riders who stop take the time to thank us for doing what we are doing. Even many of the riders who choose to ride on by, lift an arm and give us a big wave.”

De Marinis says volunteering is a gratifying experience, “Even though you are on the sidelines, you are very much part of the team andTHE RIDE.” Make a difference in the fight against cancer by volunteering forTHE RIDE on September 11.

J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman

Aug. 18.

A vehicle came from Hunt Club Road along Lorry Greenberg, left the road, struck one of the pedestrians and immediately fled the scene, according to investigators.

The 18-year-old male suffered a very serious head injury, as well as numerous bumps, bruises, lacerations and abrasions, said J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman.

The victim was transported to the trauma centre.

“We were told he was struck by a vehicle. He then slowly lost consciousness and so he was treated for a

very serious head injury,” Trottier said.

Ottawa police Det.-Const.

Darwin Turner, who is leading the investigation, said in an email the teen has since been discharged from hospital.

Though police have little to go on, they are hoping to connect with potential witnesses to the collision, or anyone who may have details about the driver and vehicle.

Soucy did not know how hard the victim was hit, and it’s not known if the vehicle may have a dent as a result.

“They found no debris of cars,” he said. “Had they found debris, they could

Collision investigators are stymied by an alleged hitand-run in Greenboro that sent a teen to hospital with serious head injuries late last month.

Police are turning to the public to generate leads, though there is little information to go on about the vehicle.

Its make, model, colour and even the type – whether it was a car, truck or minivan – remain a mystery.

“There’s nothing concrete,” Ottawa police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy said of the collision investigation.

The incident unfolded on July 31 around 12:35 a.m. as four people waited for a bus at a bus stop on the east side of Lorry Greenberg Drive, about 50 metres north of Hunt Club Road, police said

“We were told he was struck by a vehicle.

He then slowly lost consciousness and so he was treated for a very serious head injury.”

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, once you have your mind set on something, it is hard to get you to think about anything else. This dedication can be an asset at work in the days ahead.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are in good spirits this week and it could be due to some good news that provides you with extra energy. Tackle some tasks at hand and then have fun.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it may be time for a change of scenery, especially if you feel like you need recharging. Plan a getaway that allows you to unwind free of distractions.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Accept help when it is offered, Cancer. Doing so will considerably cut down on your workload and put you in a better frame of mind. Someone has a proposition that’s promising.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, though you often enjoy being the center of attention, you will enjoy a much-needed break from the limelight in coming days. Use the time to reflect.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, when a job opportunity pops up, jump on it without delay. This could be the break you’re looking for, so don’t pass up the opportunity to get on board.

W E N

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, recognize that some things are beyond your control, no matter how hard you try to influence the outcomes. Do your best and things will work out for you.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, sometimes the best way to help someone is to refrain from offering advice and let him or her work it out. This week you’ll be put to the test in this line of thinking.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, do your best to address a financial issue in the weeks ahead.

It may take some time, but use this week to lay the groundwork for your future financial security.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a pleasant surprise has you wanting to share good news with anyone and everyone. However, it may be wise to keep things hush-hush for a while until you know all the details.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 There’s no time like the present to perform a self-analysis in an effort to better yourself, Aquarius. Expect the support of family as you look to make positive changes.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, positive thinking and taking action can help you overcome difficult obstacles. Good news is coming your way.

2. Many animals, especially cats, give birth throughout the spring and many are brought to us eight weeks or so later.

3. Early summer is the beginning of summer holiday season, and many people surrender their pet before going on holidays.

The third reason will shock a lot of people. You likely are very bonded to your pet and would not dream of surrendering her to a shelter because she doesn’t fit with your holiday plans.

But many, many people do.

You know what may shock you more? The OHS is mostly ok with that. We say “mostly” because we believe that being a pet owner is a serious commitment. But we also believe that, if all else fails, bringing your pet to a shelter is a responsible choice. Too many pets are simply abandoned when not convenient, dumped somewhere alone and left to their own devices. And that is much, much worse than surrendering him to a trustworthy shelter.
