News - The Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education is replacing its aging trampoline thanks to a donation from the Kanata Sports Club. The apparatus sits in the corner of the gym and is used on a daily basis. The trampoline, which features a safety ring and bars to hold on to, helps build leg strength, co-ordination and offers a sensory experience for all of the school’s 96 students. “They’re enjoying themselves and building skills at the same time,” said principal Karen McMorine. “For many of them it’s their favourite part of their day.” After more than a decade, the time has come to replace the piece of equipment. “It’s 10 to 12 years old,” said McMorine. “It’s time for a new one.” When Lorne Weatherall, president of the Kanata Sports Club and bus driver for the school, heard that McMorine was planning to replace the old trampoline, he and the sports club jumped into action. The group raised the $700 needed to replace the aging apparatus. “We weren’t sure how we were going to replace the trampoline before Lorne came and approached us,” said McMorine. “He’s more than a driver, he takes a special interest in the kids.”

‘It’s a special donation for special people’ Continued from page 1

“Lorne makes a connection with them,” said McMorine. All the students, who range in age from four to 21, have a gym period at least three times a week. “Every student here in the school can access it. They all use it,” said McMorine. “It’s extremely important in terms of

continuing the program we have.” Thanks to the donation from the sports club, the school will be able to replace the trampoline by this spring. “It’s a special donation for special people,” said Weatherall, who’s been a driver for the school for the past 10 years. “I just like the place, I like the people. It’s a lot of fun.”

The Men of Note perform during a Christmas concert on Dec. 15. The group is looking to add three new members to its current ensemble.

Singers in search of voices jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - A local a cappella group is tuning its search for harmonious voices. The Men of Note, a male ensemble that sings without musical accompaniment, is hoping to add three new members to the current nine-person group. “With everybody’s schedules you’re never sure if you’re going to get everybody for every performance,” said Doug Hall, the ensemble leader for the group. “It’s to make sure we’ve got

started last summer. He wanted to create an ensemble that sings a cappella, didn’t read sheet music while performing, and had no conductor. “It’s a challenge but it’s wonderful,” he said. The Men of Note most recently performed at the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ Christmas concert, singing Whisper, whisper and Sing Out the News. Right now, they’re practicing Bonnie Mary of Argyle, Donkey Riding and Loch Lomond. They practice weekly on Tuesday evenings, from 6 to 7 p.m. and are planning to host additional practices on Mondays for a period of time to work out the music. For more information on how to join, email Hall at djhall@rogers.com.

Chair massage helps Glen Cairn woman heal Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

PHOTOS BY JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Sharon Anderson receives a chair massage from certified practitioner Kecia Lee in her Glen Cairn home. Lee visits people at the house, at their office or at her home-based clinic in South Keys.

Kanata North Community Design Plan Community Meeting #3 Wednesday February 26, 2014 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., Presentation at 7 p.m. Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata 4101 Innovation Drive The integrated Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act process is continuing for the Kanata North Community Design Plan (CDP).

Community - Sharon Anderson sat at a green light in the left-turning lane, blinker on, waiting for traffic to clear. Another vehicle came careening up the street and rammed into Anderson’s car. She suffered severe whiplash during that crash 16 years ago. “That left me really stiff,” said the Glen Cairn woman. “It didn’t rule my life but it comes back.” Heavy lifting or simple household cleaning can leave the spry 70-year-old feeling sore. Her back problems are exacerbated by spinal stenosis, a bulging disk and arthritis. For years she’s slept on her back with a pillow between her knees, instead of her preferred right-side sleeping position, to help alleviate the tension. She visited a chiropractor and underwent physiotherapy to help the pain. But it wasn’t until late last year that she started to feel real relief. At a spiritual workshop, she met Kecia Lee, a certified massage practitioner. Lee practices chair massage, where the client sits instead of lying down. They exchanged information and Anderson had her first in-home chair massage in November. That night was the first time in more than a decade that she was able to sleep

on her right side. “When I started having these massages with Kecia I was very grateful,” said Anderson, who also no longer takes painkillers for her back aches. “It precipitates a kind of healing. That’s something I’m mighty grateful for.” SITTING POSITION

or at her home-based clinic in South Keys. The sitting position helps alleviate tension on the lower back, as well as the chest and stomach. “You’re so comfortable, you’re not getting squashed,” said Anderson. “Being a senior, in the wintertime having someone come to your home is wonderful … This is just a gift to have someone come into your home and take care of you.” Aside from the physical benefits, Lee’s massage also helps to alleviate emotional

stress, promotes mental clarity, improves sleep, energizes the body and boosts immunity. “When we’re feeling stressed all the cortisol (a stress hormone) is flooding our bodies, which leads to problems,” said Lee, founder of Energy at Work. “When we’re calm and relaxed we’re less likely to be reactive.” Lee has been a chair massage practitioner since 2001, a career she chose because she wanted to help people heal. “I knew I wanted to be in the healing field … and to give to people as much as possible,” she said. “It’s the giving and connection I’m able to establish with people – I’m most grateful for that. It’s healing for me as well.” Massages can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the needs of the client. “You will get a benefit from it whether it’s a half hour, an hour or 10 minutes,” said Anderson. “It works, it absolutely works.” Anderson, who frequents the Kanata Seniors Centre with her husband, said she wanted to let others know about Lee’s “healing hands.” “I’m thinking of all of them who could benefit,” Anderson said. “Being with her is quite a blessing.” For more information on chair massage, visit the website energyatworkmassage. ca or email Lee at kecia@ energyatworkmassage.ca.

Despite everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best efforts, however, we have yet to determine how to raise the perfect child, which I can only presume to be the ultimate goal. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to just ignore everyone.

and feel like failure much of the time. On the flip side, however, children have this marvellous way of making time stand still. And when we take the time with them, offering flexibility in our schedules, choosing to enjoy the 20-minutes sitting on the potty waiting for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tinkle sound,â&#x20AC;? and having meaningful conversations, life slows down for us, too, in a marvellous and meaningful way. Let other people help. If you are lucky enough to have friends and relatives nearby, let them visit you and baby on the condition that they

just stay connected, and pretty much stay in bed, giving them a chance to bond and wait for momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body to recover -- and probably a copious amount of time to watch television. If your pregnancy hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already spelled this one out for you -- prepare to let go of control. This starts with a baby whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeding and sleeping on demand and continues with preschool children who are toilet training, pinching fingers in cabinets and removing her clothing as fast as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting it on, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a rush to get out the door. On the down side, this can make us frustrated, angry

Motherhood is a very personal venture. Allow your instinct to take hold. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following safe practices, you get to choose whether to breastfeed or bottle feed, whether to use

stay for short periods -- just enough time to fold a load of laundry. And if the baby falls asleep, be assertive and tell them itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for you to go lie down too. Resist the urge to stay up, exhausting yourself, making them tea and toast. Exercise can wait. Again with the superwoman theme, we all know these marvellous women who pop out a baby, deflate like a balloon and start working out like hell within a couple of weeks of the delivery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oversold. In the first weeks, rest is the most important element. After that, if you feel like working out donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t train for a marathon or a Tough Mudder, just do some kegels. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you, done your workout for the day! While this may sound like a contradiction, given the content of this column, I offer this last tidbit of wisdom: shut your ears to all the advice from around you.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what was going on last May, but there are a lot of babies in our midst. Between friends, family and acquaintances, I know four expected within a week. As any pregnant woman knows, people just love to give advice -- most of which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been too stubborn to accept over the years -- but I have a few tips for youmoms-to-be. It all starts in that first month -- post-delivery. For one precious month, just slow down and do â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nothing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We have images of superwomen in our midst â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like the European member of parliament with her baby in a sling, or the corporate woman who returns to work within a month, pumping between meetings -- these should not be our aspirations.

City, board earn failing grades

ast week the city turned down a request from the Ottawa public school board to build a desperately needed school in Kanata. The board recently secured provincial funding for construction of the school, a process that could best be described as wringing water from a stone, judging by the long list of similar requests in other areas of the city, such as OrlĂŠans, Findlay Creek and Stittsville, communities that are still waiting for a goahead from the province. The money must be used in a limited time frame â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in essence a use-it-or-lose-it situation. The city has given the project a big thumbs down, arguing that a school doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong in an industrial area near companies like Nordion Inc., which creates medical isotopes using radioactive materials. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no actual safety concern, but the city is concerned about a backlash from the public based on irrational and groundless public perception. Nordion says it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the school as a next door neighbour in case it chooses to expand its business. But is this really a concern the city should seriously entertain? As for the issue of allowing a school in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;in-

dustrialâ&#x20AC;? area, there is precedent, says the board, referring to two schools in Ottawa as well as a French public school in Kingston. The board has already launched an appeal, as the city failed to meet the 120-day deadline to make a decision on zoning applications before the Ontario Municipal Board is allowed to take a hand. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application was filed more than 200 days ago, but the city was forced to delay a decision as it had neglected to inform neighbouring businesses, such as Nordion, about the zoning request. According to Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, the lines of communication between the public school board and the city are poor at best. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson has been working to fast-track the school at a pre-determined alternate location that is almost fully serviced (i.e. not yet fully serviced), saying it should fit the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time frame. The whole situation seems to be a comedy of errors. Whoever is to blame, the board and the city need to improve communication. Both will spend tens of thousands of dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taxpayer dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on fighting this out at the Ontario Municipal Board, a conflict that could have been defused with the help of a little goodwill and co-ordination.

COLUMN

What will be the coffee shop of tomorrow?

he big fuss over the 50th anniversary of the Beatles arriving in North America shows you that the Baby Boomers are still very much in control of the news media. Nobody else much cares. The Beatles story way overshadowed another recent anniversary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 30th birthday of the Macintosh computer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is of far more interest to a younger generation. By the time the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th comes, the Boomers will be but a memory and the Mac can get all the attention it deserves, providing it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been replaced by something else, such as a little dot you can paste on your cheek that telephones people, plays movies and does spreadsheets. One of the things that is so striking about all this is how fast current affairs become ancient history. Most of the people who screamed when John, Paul, George and Ringo appeared on the Ed Sullivan show are now getting pensions. They will tell you it happened overnight. Most of the places the Beatles played are now parking lots, or, more likely, parking lots surrounding condos. We like to think that things last, but a lot of things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Now there is a coffee shop on each of those four corners. And you know what? Someday soon coffee shops will become a memory too. People will say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember 50 years ago when there were coffee shops?â&#x20AC;? That will be too bad, because the spread of the coffee shop, whether locally or internationally owned, has been one of the more encouraging developments in what is called progress these days.

did, and probably longer than video rentals, too. But they will not be forever. Coffee will go out of fashion, replaced by some other beverage. Or people may decide, as many seem to be deciding already, that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave the house. They want to stay home and use their own fancy machine to make coffee, or whatever beverage replaces it. Meanwhile, what happens to those former bank buildings now occupied by coffee shops? Some kind of store, you might think, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it true now that shopping in stores is rapidly being replaced by shopping online (the revival, now that you think about it, of catalogue shopping)? Stores are over. The thing that replaces the coffee shop has to be something people will leave their houses to attend. Games could do the trick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at one point you could get people out of their houses to go bowling or even play miniature golf. But they can do that at home on the Wii now. Same goes for bingo, although I did see what looked like a big game going on in a shopping centre the other day. It could be a restaurant, but there are already too many restaurants. The same goes for bars. Actually, what there are not enough

of are parking lots, but parking lots are decidedly out of fashion among urban planners and civic politicians these days. Maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back. The fact is that we probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize what goes there. No one, 50 years ago, knew what a video store was. No one, 30 years ago, knew that people would line up to drink coffee flavoured with vanilla and containing soy milk. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why planning for the future is not a walk in the park, as we would advise the new boss of the National Capital Commission, and probably why a lot of us would sooner spend our time thinking about 50 years ago.

Earl hosts presentation for parents on having the talk Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - With the rise in social media, it’s important that parents continue to have a conversation with their children about the birds and the bees. Human sexuality researcher Jocelyn Wentland is hosting “(How to) talk to your kids

about sex,” a free presentation for parents only, with a question and answer period on Feb. 27 at Earl of March Secondary School from 7 to 9 p.m. “It’s no longer a singular talk – it’s an ongoing talk that starts from a young age and will continue into adulthood,” said Wentland, who has a master’s degree in science and is a

part-time professor and PhD student at the University of Ottawa. “Parents are such an important voice in discussions with their children related to relationships and sexuality. And when parents don’t get involved in these discussions, their children are at the mercy of everyone else’s perspectives

on relationships and sexuality. For me, that’s a very risky play for a parent.” Youth today learn much of what they know about sex through social media, the Internet and movies. Parents have a pivotal role to play in helping to shape their child’s knowledge. “Technology has drastically changed what children are seeing in regards to relationships and sexuality. That means that the conversations are happening all the time around them,” said Wentland. “Parents need

to add their voices to that conversation.” The Centretown resident will discuss important tools and strategies parents can employ to engage their children in the conversation, as well as answer any questions from the audience. “Parents will be surprised to learn that this isn’t a big scary conversation to have with their

kids,” Wentland said. “This event will give parents an opportunity to identify how they can approach talking to their kids about relationships and sex.” The adult-only event is open to all parents of elementaryand high school-age children. No registration is required. Earl of March is located at 4 the Parkway, Kanata.

Kanata’s new west district library is half a year away from completion.

District library on track for August opening Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

News - Kanata’s new west district library is on track for its official opening in August, said Elaine Condos, the Ottawa Public Library’s division manager of facilities. “The stairs are all in, the walls are in. By early March they’re going to be working on the raised floor,” she said. “It’s a real building now.” The $10-million library is being constructed using natural materials such as wood and stone and will have many windows, offering plenty of natural lighting. The 2,229-square-metre building, an expansion of the existing Beaverbrook branch of the Ottawa Public Library, located at 2500

Campeau Dr., will serve residents in Carp, Stittsville, Richmond as well as Kanata. The west district library will include an expanded kid’s space as well as an area designated for early learning. It will also hold a large meeting and programming room built to hold 90 people. The library will have general seating and work spaces with window-side lounge chairs, computer workstations, group study areas and a designated quiet room for individual use. The new branch will also house the Kanata local history collection and will have outlets throughout the branch for tablets, on loan from the library, and personal devices. The Friend’s of the Ottawa Public Library will have a bookshop located at the library’s entrance.

Think big:

City home to hundreds of ukulele players Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Arts - Chilly pedestrians on Bank Street are wrapped up in scarves and toques, unaware that a slice of the South Pacific is just steps away. The Bytown Ukulele Club is tuning up. At least once a month, dozens of ukulele players fill the basement room at the Clocktower Brew Pub at Bank and Pretoria Avenue in the Glebe, sharing their love for one of the simplest musical instruments to learn. Sue Rogers is the group’s selfconfessed “facilitator for life.” Before the evening’s playing begins, she zips around the room welcoming newcomers and catching up with some of the group’s 400-plus members. Her enthusiasm for the tiny ukuleles is infectious. Rogers said she was hooked the moment she saw a ukulele perfor-

Some of our youngest are eight and nine years old and you can see them playing next to their grannies sue rogers

mance at the Ottawa Folk Festival. “It was just so easy,” she said. “Within two weeks I was singing away and strumming.” She said the ukulele draws people in because it’s fun to accompany yourself on songs and because players find it easy to move from beginner to intermediate. “Some people can learn in less than an hour,” Rogers said, adding she’s taught some of her co-workers to play over their lunch hour. First-timers are welcome at every regular BUG meeting. “That’s how you learn; being surrounded by it,” she said, adding all ages can take part. “Some of our youngest are eight and nine years old and you can see them playing next to their grannies.” LYRICS AND CHORDS

The four strings of a ukulele need only be strummed with one hand to make a sweet sound. The other hand takes care of chords, but thankfully for newbies, there are many songs that require just two or three chords. The Clocktower’s big screen TVs show no sports – members can instead follow along as chord diagrams

and lyrics are shown for the players. At some of the pub’s tables, music stands have been replaced with iPads, each holding thousands of songs. All the players are welcome to join in and sing as they play. The room – which holds a maximum of 90 uke players – is bedlam at 6:45 p.m. as everyone tunes up or finishes their dinner. The harmony begins promptly at 7 p.m. And if a pub isn’t your thing, you may see BUG members out in the community, playing farmers markets and the like. “All our events are interactive so people can try out the ukuleles,” Rogers said. You can look for dozens of BUG players at the Vernon Canada Day celebration. Along with the small size of the instruments comes a small price tag: another reason for the instrument’s continuing popularity, in addition to portability. Players can start out with ukuleles – they come as soprano, concert, tenor or baritone – that cost less than $50 at city music stores, although you can spend more than $1,000 on one hand made in Hawaii. What’s also striking about ukuleles is that their tiny size bears little relation to how much fun they deliver, both for players and listeners. During a recent beginners night at the Clocktower, there were few smiles while songs were played as the budding musicians concentrated on TV screens and their finger placement to create the chords. But as the final note of each song was played, faces would light up and the smiles and laughter were unstoppable. If the contrast between full-size adults and pint-size ukuleles make you laugh, head to the Internet and search for “Israel” and “Ukulele” to watch the late Israel Kamakawiwo’ole play his favourite instrument.

City council put relaxed rules for widening driveways in the suburbs on hold following a discussion about possible impacts on snow removal and water drainage.

Week in Review I hope you enjoyed the Family Day long weekend and were able to spend some time with family and friends. We have had excellent outdoor rink conditions this season thanks to the weather and the dedicated volunteers who maintain our rinks. I hope that you and your family will get a chance to get out and enjoy them. The list of outdoor rinks in our community can be found on my website under the “Community” tab. If you have the chance, please take a moment to thank our many rink operator volunteers who work tirelessly to make sure that our outdoor rinks are in top shape! With the warmer weather, we will soon be entering construction season. More information on the projects that will be taking place in your area will be shared in my upcoming newsletter. Look for it to be in your mailbox in late March. If you have any questions about the work taking place in your community please contact my office.

News - Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder put the brakes on a move she supports to allow suburban homeowners to widen their driveways to create time to clear up snow and storm water “fallacies.” The city’s planning committee supported a recommendation to allow homeowners to expand their driveways on Jan. 28 in en effort to ease suburban parking woes. A last-minute change to prevent larger suburban driveways from having wider openings to the road didn’t quell concerns about snow storage or water drainage when the transpor-

tation committee got into a debate about snow clearing a week later. That discussion resulted in councillors worrying about wider driveways augmenting the issue, something Harder called a fallacy. The transportation committee heard on Feb. 5 that the city overspent on snow removal by $21.5 million in 2013. As a result, road maintenance manager Kevin Wylie said he and other city managers will be looking at possible changes to the overnight parking ban that’s enacted when more than seven centimeters of snow is forecast. “Somehow that morphed into it was all about the suburban laneways and it would even

be worse if the report that was approved for sensible widening at planning committee was approved,” Harder said. “Because of the fallacy that came out at that committee meeting, I wasn’t willing to take the chance of this very important piece of quality of life and building better suburbs would fail,” Harder said. The new rules, once approved by council, would allow more homeowners to widen their driveways. All driveways in the suburbs are already allowed to take up half of the lot’s width, but the ability of a homeowner to take advantage of that width was hampered by a restriction preventing driveways from being located in front of the main home. For most lots, the additional driveway width, which must be added in pavers or something similar – not asphalt – would amount to an extra 1.8 metres. A last-minute alteration at planning committee means homeowners wouldn’t automatically be able to create a “curb cut” for the additional driveway width to slope onto the street, but the driveway could retain the same entrance width but become wider in front of the home. Council will reconsider the driveway widening rule at a later date after staff prepares a report about the potential effect widening suburban driveways could have on water drainage and snow storage. When she challenged Wylie about the current snow storage capacity on people’s lawns if they are using the yard for winter parking, Harder said she agreed it would be no different with wider driveways. Harder said widening driveways isn’t the issue. The core problem is the city’s density

minimums that force developers to cram a large number of small lots into their subdivisions. That is a puzzle the city is looking to solve with its “building better suburbs” initiative, Harder said. There will be more opportunities for the public to participate this spring before the building better suburbs report goes to planning committee in June. It will likely also result in lobbying the provincial government for changes to things like allowing city parks and elementary schools to share outdoor space. “Using the space within the suburbs for a greater value for the people who live there … So it’s not a cat-and-dog fight about who is building what school and where is the park going to be.” SUBURBAN STREET PARKING

Harder has also been pushing for the city to expand its onstreet parking permit program to the suburbs. The $65 passes are available for downtown residents to park on streets that have time-restricted parking and bear a sign reading “pass holders exempt.” Installing those signs in the suburbs could cost an estimated $90,000 for a single neighbourhood, Harder said she was told. She would rather see the city ditch the signs and declare that certain areas are parking-permit zones, but staff are reticent and would prefer to do a pilot project to test it out, Harder said. “The fact is, if I have something that is reasonable and can work for these folks, I can say, ‘Hey, you parked on the street, you got a ticket, but you had other choices,’ that’s good,” Harder said.

The Bridge Church celebrates 30 years gation for their generosity to the police officers last Christmas. Home baked goodies and Starbucks coffee gift cards were provided to officers on duty as a way of showing appreciation for their service to the community. Several former pastors and attendees were also present for this festive occasion. Pastor Allan stated in his inspiring sermon that the best days of the church were before the congregation and not behind them. He challenged the congregation not to take on a spirit of retirement or entitlement on this their 30th anniversary, but of courage and boldness so that together they might serve the people of the Ottawa area in greater ways than it has in the past.

The Bridge Church in Kanata celebrates its 30th anniversary since it held its first Sunday Service in the library of Katimavik Elementary School in 1984. R0012419213

Community - The excitement had been building for months, the planning efforts intensifying week after week, as the long-anticipated date inched closer and closer. After all, 30 years is a significant milestone in any relationship or organization, and the staff and members of The Bridge Church in Kanata were determined to make their 30th anniversary celebration one to be remembered on many levels. More than 30 years ago, a young man named Steven Elliot and his wife Helen had a dream to start a new church in Kanata. That dream became a reality on Feb. 4 1984 when the Elliott’s, along with 20 other people, met together in the library of the Katimavik Elementary School for the first Sunday service of what was then called the Kanata Wesleyan Church. From that small beginning the church has grown to a congregation of more than 400 and meets weekly in their beautiful facilities on Didsbury Road across the Queen-

sway from the Canadian Tire Centre. In 2004 the founding Pastor, Steven Elliot, handed the stewardship of the growing church over to the current senior pastor, Rev. Allan Summers. Pastor Allan has grown the church to its current level of more than 400 members. The Bridge has a goal of being the kind of church that people who do not normally go to church love to attend. Along with their two Sunday morning services: 9:15 a.m. and 11 a.m., the church offers a strong, energetic family ministry which serves children and teens in the area on a weekly basis. On Sunday morning Feb. 2, The Bridge combined their two Sunday morning services into one large congregation and celebrated their 30th anniversary at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. Special guests bringing best wishes included councillors Marianne Wilkinson and Allan Hubley, as well as Elliott. Insp. Mike Callaghan of the Ottawa police was also present to thank the congre-

Derek Dunn/Metroland

Ed Barry at his home studio is working on figurines for a diorama of a Second World War battle his grandfather participated in.

Grandson builds monument to soldier’s battle Carp’s Ed Barry working on diorama of battle set in Belgium Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - When Ed Barry was in Stephenville, a town on the west coast of Newfoundland where his father grew up and grandfather died after the war - a chunk of shrapnel still

lodged in his shoulder - he was wandering through the legion when he spotted something that has guided his artistic ambitions ever since. It was a photo on the wall overhead. A group shot. An old black and white photo typically found on walls of legions across Canada. Young men standing at attention, blissfully ignorant of the horrors to come, their names etched in metal below. It was a photo that included Sgt. William J. Barry. “I was in shock. That was him, right there,” said Barry, an Ottawa Police Service constable from Carp. “I never met

my grandfather. But I heard plenty about him from my father.” A self-described perfectionist, and an artist “by trade,” Barry knew what he had to do. It would take a grand vision packed with minutia. It would take hundreds of hours to bring to life, yet represent a moment frozen in time. It would mean painstakingly detailing twoinch figurines, about 50 in all, beat-up military trucks, three long-tom Howitzer cannons, tall grass (trod upon in places), imitation puddles for further effect.

Diorama finds permanent home at Newfoundland museum Continued from page 15

It would be highly artificial, yet a glorious tribute to reality. “It’s a war diorama of a battle he was in. In Belgium,” Barry said. “I have an advisor for it. There’ll be right and left flanks. Even the uniforms are all different because that’s what happened back then. It won’t be an exact replica, but

it’ll be pretty close.” Sgt. William J. Barry will figure in the scene, next to a cannon with arms crossed; just as he appears on the cover of a book called Fire for Effect: 20th battery – 59th Newfoundland heavy regiment. Presented at schools

He intends to bring it to area schools and use it as a

history lesson. He said folks today take the sacrifices for granted, and that few made greater sacrifices for the Allies than did Newfoundlanders. (Barry is used to talking to students, usually about safety issues of particular concern to police. He even uses slight-of-hand and other magic tricks to pique their interest.) After that the diorama will

find a permanent home at the Regional Museum of Art and History in Stephenville. Barry says they are planning a ceremony for the piece. It could prove a big deal. The men in the photo would likely give the lad a collective pat on the back. It’s a labour of love for Barry. A drawer along the lines of Robert Bateman – highly detailed animal drawings steeped in realism – he

laughingly refers to his art studio as his “man cave.” “I get in here, play my war movies and documentaries over there,” he said. “It puts me in the moment, being here.” A former Toronto police officer who worked the mean streets around the Jane and Finch neighbourhood, Barry won’t go so far as to say art brings him the solace others may find at the bottom of a

bottle. But there is an indication that not all his memories are pleasant. The door is too quickly locked when a visitor arrives, for instance. Who else on this idyllic WisteriaLane street does that? Maybe it is more than admiration he holds for the men in the photo. Maybe he, too, has his memories. “I’m in the moment here,” he says again.

Sports - The Kanata Thunder won the Jay’s Peak Avalanche tournament in Jay, Vt., the weekend of Feb. 7 to 9. Led by Kian O’Mahony’s stellar goaltending and Alex Trzmiel’s offensive outburst the bantam team started off strong breezing by the South End Capitals in their first game 5-0. Despite some highlight reel goals in the second game from Mitchell Lee and Krishan Dilwari, Kanata suffered a 4- 2 loss to the Cumberland Dukes. Needing to win their third game to advance, the Thunder played their best game of the season and beat the Orléans Red Bulls 5-0. The championship game was now set between the Thunder and the Nepean Titans. Nerves made the players grip their sticks a little tightly for most of the first period and

Submitted

The bantam Kanata Thunder were crowned champions at the Jay’s Peak Avalanche tournament in Jay, Vt., the weekend of Feb. 7 to 9. strong goaltending from both sides kept things scoreless. The second period was a different story as the Thunder picked up the tempo and Mitchell Lee broke the game open on a great breakaway pass from Sheamus O’Connell. The Thunder took a 1-0 lead into the final period and began to increase the pressure on Ne-

pean. Both teams left everything out on the ice for the final period but the Thunder were too much. Michael Li showed extreme determination as he banged home a rebound on a shot from Dylan Rouse and gave Kanata their second goal of the game. The Thunder all but sealed the championship with some

great work around the net by Ryan Bourgaize that was finished off by Adam Spriggs giving Kanata a 3-0 late in the third period. Nepean managed to get one goal back but solid goaltending by Matthew Shaw and good team defense sealed the championship and led the Kanata Thunder to a to a 3-1 victory.

Chinese seniors support centre celebrates Year of the Horse Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre

R0012536987

Community - The Chinese Year of the Horse galloped in with a successful celebration on Feb. 2. More than 1,300 people attended to help ring in the New Year with the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre (KCSSC), which hosted the event at the newly-constructed Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata. The celebration this year was on a much larger scale than previous years with both young and old attending the event. The venue was decorated with red lanterns and couplets and resembled a typical Chinese

New Year street festival. Chinese literary works and art were on display, and community organizations were on hand to dispense information on their programs and activities. The Food Alley also offered delectable traditional Chinese New Year foods. A room was specially set up to showcase four great Chinese inventions with hands-on experiments and fun and games for the whole family. The most popular of all were the food stalls where families gathered with their orders of Shaanxi hamburgers, tasty Sichuan cold noodles, delicious fried dumplings, sugar-coated haws, fried noodles, spring rolls and more delicacies.

Upon the arrival of our guests of honour, the muchanticipated Lion Dance troupe performed a lively number to the beat of drums and gongs. The four lions pranced around the stage and moved among the audience which charged up the atmosphere of the entire gymnasium. The highlight of the program was a line-up of song and dance performances. The opening number was a dance entitled “Happy Together” choreographed and performed by the Kanata Seniors Club. Their beautifully designed costumes added much glamour to kick-

start the entertainment segment of the program. Credit for the vibrant program goes to the participation of the various performing clubs in Ottawa and the successful celebration would not have been possible without every volunteer, including the MCs, who put in much effort to ensure that every department was taken care of and ran smoothly. It was also heartwarming to note that the celebration brought together several generations of volunteers that included grandparents, parents and grandchildren.

Y strong kids campaign kicks off Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The YMCA-YWCA launched its annual Y Strong Kids campaign on Feb. 15. The campaign – which

aims to raise $150,000 in the National Capital Region – will help provide subsidies to kids from low-income houses, allowing them to participate in camps and after-school programs, said Margot Lefebvre,

a YWCA manager. “One in four children who attend our programs requires financial assistance to participate,” she said. The nation-wide campaign hopes to raise $13 million.

The campaign in Ottawa will run until March 15, with events happening throughout the month at various locations throughout the city. The Kanata YMCA will host a cake and pie auction on Feb. 26, the downtown Y will host smoothie bars on Feb. 24 and Feb. 25, as a movie night on Feb. 28. “Physical activity is an important part of helping kids reach their full potential,” Lefebvre said. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has declared Feb. 15 to March 15 as Y Strong Kids month. “Giving children a strong start is crucial to ensuring they can reach their full potential and lead healthy lives,” Watson said. “We need to ensure families continue to have access to meaningful programs and services like those offered by the YMCA-YWCA.” On March 23, the Y will host Y Cycle for Strong kids – an indoor cycling fundraiser in support of the campaign. For more information, visit ymcastrongkids.ca.

Public school board anticipates less support from province Committee of the whole meeting looks at using surplus to bridge funding gap Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa public school board’s committee of the whole got a sneak peek at the 2014-15 budget on Feb. 11. The public consultation on the budget won’t happen until June, after the province announces funding, but the public board is already looking at the pressures. “I think we have to assume there will be very little growth in the funding,” Mike Carson, the board’s superintendent of facilities, told trustees. The provincial deficit, coupled with the commitment to full-day kindergarten being in all schools by fall of 2015, will mean a fiscal crunch for all levels of government. “We need to make priorities,” Carson said. While the school board ended the 2013 fiscal year with a $45.8 million surplus, there are pressures in the form of future employee benefits, as well as increased transportation costs for busing high school students in the city’s urban transit area and pressures related to increased costs for snow removal because of the heavy snowfall this year. Meanwhile, the board will take in an additional 2,000 full-day kindergarten students starting in September 2015. Carson said allocating $7 million for the future employee

benefits should leave the board with a surplus of roughly $32 million. He said the board’s strategic plan would take into account its strategic priorities of emphasizing academic performance and student well being. Board chair Jennifer McKenzie said she was happy to see the board’s strategic plan was part of the discussion. “I would like to see us in a place where our strategic plan dictates the budget,” she said, adding she would be looking for funding to work with the

Carson said the surplus is often used for capital projects – with permission from the Ministry of Education – and would ideally be around three per cent, or $24 million. “I don’t want us to get so dazed by the surplus that we open up the tap and let the dollars fall in the sink,” Campbell said. Shirley Seward, who represents the zone that corresponds with River Ward, said she will hold budget consultations in her ward. “I think we need to look at

Several trustees were concerned about keeping the surplus down to ensure continued funding levels from the province. Theresa Kavanagh, who represents the zone that corresponds with the municipal Bay Ward, asked if a surplus was a record amount. “I am just worried the board might get punished for being good with the books, by getting diminished funding,” she said. Rob Campbell, who represents the zone that corresponds with the Rideau-Vanier and Capital wards, asked if the surplus should be limited to two per cent of the board’s revenue.

Staff will recommend a finalized budget on May 13. The board will hear public delegations on May 26 and it will be approved by June 23.

Cancer society launches quit smoking campaign Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Ready to butt out once and for all? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, there is no time like the present with the chance to win a brand new car on the line. On March 1, the Cancer Society launches its 2014 Driven to Quit challenge across the province and here in Ottawa, Barbara Hollander, regional coordinator for the Smokers Helpline, said the contest is a great way to encourage smokers to quit. “Our main thing is to encourage people to make an attempt to quit,” she said. In some cases, Hollander added, it can take as many as seven tries to successfully quit. “People need to identify

what their main motivation is. Sit down and say, “Why do I really want to quit?” It could be their health, or finances, or to get more physically active -- but identifying the motivation is important.” Aside from personal motivation, the opportunity to be entered into a draw to win the choice between a Dodge Avenger or a Dodge Journey or one of seven regional prizes of $1,000 cash could help this time be the win a smoker needs, Hollander said. Registered participants will receive a confirmation email that includes a $4 discount coupon for either Nicorette or Nicoderm. Each participant is required to have a buddy, someone to offer support, hand holding, smoke-snatching and words of encouragement -- anything the quitter needs, Hollander

said. Buddies have the opportunity to win one of eight $100 cash prizes.

People need to identify what their main motivation is (to quit smoking). Barbara Hollander

Registration is currently open for anyone who has already quit or plans to quit by the end of the month at DrivenToQuit.ca or by calling 1-877-513-5333 or by visiting a Canadian Cancer Society Community office. New this year, participants can create a public profile online where they can share their

Quit smoking tips To help get through cravings and urges, use the 4 Ds: • Distract - find an alternative to smoking. • Delay - your craving will pass soon.

• Drink Water - try cold water and hold it in your mouth before swallowing. • Deep Breath - slowly breathe in and out.

journey with friends and family for support. The contest offers loads of support, Hollander said, with tips, tools and a help phone line for participants. “We offer you one reason to quit and three ways to help,” she said. Participants can call or text the free helpline, or visiting the website. According to the cancer society, tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable disease, death and disability in Ontario and is killing more than 13,000 Ontarians every year and roughly 36 people a day. Twenty minutes after a smoker quits, Hollander said their blood pressure and pulse rate will return to normal. Two weeks to three months after, circulation improves, walking becomes easier, and lung function may increase by up to 20 per cent. One year after quitting, the risk of heart disease is cut in half. Risk of smoking related heart attack is cut in half and 10 years of being smoke free cuts the risk of dying from lung cancer in half. “Quitting smoking is a process; people get frustrated if they have tried a few times, so remember what happened last time and try again,” she said. “But never quit quitting.”

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, quitting smoking can immediately offer smokers a positive outcome.

This is your opportunity to have a say in the design of a brand new community, complete with homes, stores, schools, parks and facilities. From the 15 concepts created by local residents at the last meeting, four plans have been created. You can choose parts from one or several, put forward additional ideas, ask for clarification and put your stamp on the new community that will spring up along March Road, north of Maxwell Bridge. Everyone is welcome to attend and provide their viewpoint. Then the consultants and City staff will produce a final plan for you to consider, and the City’s Planning Committee and Council will approve the plan. Detailed submissions will then be prepared by landowners, along with servicing plans, before construction can commence. RETIREMENT HOME FOR BEAVERBROOK When the owner of the Varley apartment building told me that he was planning to build a retirement residence connected to the existing apartment, I told him that he needed to discuss it with representatives from the community before submitting any plan to the City. He agreed to that approach and has held 4 consultations with groups from the Beaverbrook Community, resulting in changes that were reviewed by a group of residents last Monday. Once a submission is made to the City, a full public meeting will be held for all interested residents to see the plans and provide their comments.

News - What happens when you are out shopping or playing in the park and you have to go? One local organization is looking to make public washrooms more accessible and available for anyone who has to go. The Gotta go! campaign started a couple of months ago with one thing in mind -- creating a network of safe, accessible, free, clean and environmentally responsible public toilets and water fountains at parks, major transit stops and key public spaces to meet the needs of residents and tourists in Ottawa. Campaign organizer Marianne Eriksson informed Lowertown residents at a Feb. 10 meeting about the campaign at its monthly meeting on Feb. 10. According to Eriksson, one of the first things the organization is doing is gathering information, ideas and comments from residents. “We want to know where you think would be a good place, concerns or ideas,” Eriksson said. “Sometimes we are simply talking about putting in one public toilet in a location that could have a beneficial impact.” According to the campaign, the Crohns and Colitis Foundation surveyed their members in 2008 and found that more than 85 per cent of them have been caught needing a toilet in a hurry and although the city does have public restrooms in large parks or community spaces, use is limited to the hours it is open to the public and some are seasonal. “There have been complaints that people use laneways in the market,” Eriksson said. She said the group is also compiling a list of current public washrooms to best identify the ideal spots for public washrooms. Concerns about cleanliness, she added, could be addressed by having self-cleaning washrooms. “We are looking at what other capital cities are doing, as well as looking at design capabilities for the washrooms,” she said. Not an inexpensive endeavor, the organization plans to help off-set any start-up costs by making advertising space available for businesses. Lowertown Community Association board member Elizabeth Bernstein told Eriksson that a recent walkability audit the association conducted in the summer collected some information about public washroom needs and offered to share the information with the campaign. “(Going forward) we can share with you and help build the research rather than work separately,” Bernstein said. To find out more information, send comments or ideas, contact the Gotta go! campaign at gottagocampaign@ gmail.com.

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Were he spiritual, Peter Goodings would be a laughing Buddha holding an empty job jar. Instead he is a pragmatist with a background in mechanical engineering and a new house that is virtually maintenance free. Simplicity over complexity, sparsity over clutter, the ideal over botched attempts: Goodings’ home reflects key principles in Buddhism, though he would say it wasn’t deliberate. Still, when he speaks of the potential long-

term savings of his high-efficiency home, one can’t help but picture him laughing all the way to the bank. The home is squeezed into a wooded area in central West Carleton. The silence of the naked trees seems to permeate the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main room, bringing with it sunshine and an ease that blankets the sanitized minimalism. Goodings, who still lives in south Ottawa near Lansdowne Park and owns a cottage in Fitzroy Harbour, casually drops a comment that illustrates the genius behind the

first home he has designed. “The thermostat will go off any minute now, and it’s about -24 C outside. There’s lots of sunshine today,” he said, setting down two cups of tea before leaning back on a couch. He smiles. “It’s an engineered house, not an architectured house.” His plan is to build the exact same model for others. The 178-square-metre bungalow-esque home has two bedrooms on either side of the sunken main room and kitchen, along with two baths and a utility room. No upstairs – the roof is slanted steel. No basement – it is on stilts, nearly half a metre above ground to dissuade critters from moving in. The exterior walls are also of steel. There are no bedroom windows on either side where neighbours are. Some 70 pot lights dot the inside. The deck is at floor level to further the seamless transition from inside to outside. It is an entirely computercontrol environment. Goodings’ goal was to create a maintenance-free abode. The slanted roof has no gutters to clean; snow slides off the back without getting trapped in corners. The triple glazed argon filled windows are framed with stretch-resistant fibre glass, not wood that needs routine painting or aluminum or PVC that warps. The floor stilts or piers – each withstands 25,000 kilograms of weight - require no skirting. The cost is comparable to a basement, but without the necessary backfill and grading and threat of flooding or

Built on piers, the home has many cutting edge technologies, and a modern stripped down look, but manages to maintain a cottage feel. cracking. Consumer junkies will have to build a shed or toss much of their stuff; the home has limited storage. But anyone who purchased swampland or flood zone property could build this house on it. The floor uses radiant heating. Fans push the heat down in winter and up in summer. (It requires no air conditioner.) The sun provides much of the heat, pouring through the leafless trees in winter. In summer, the foliage offers shelter from the sun’s rays. Gooding says knowing when to open and close windows is important. He gets by without drapes, too. He relies on electricity, but insists on needing very little. Propane is unreliable (and a scarcity this winter), and nat-

ural gas is unavailable in most rural settings. All the pumps, valves, and a boiler that come along with having a furnace and hot water tank detracts from his quest for simplicity. “It’s easy to build something complicated with a thousand parts. What’s not so easy is to build something with as few parts as possible,” he says, axiomatically. He finds aesthetic satisfaction in the simple and useful. Even the raised kitchen floor serves a purpose: it hides much of the plumbing. It took a team of three workers just six months from February to July - to build it, with a total of nine on hand to lift the south-facing front windows. At $240 a square foot, the price tag is about $460,800.

An exterior view of Peter Goodings’ model home.

The maintenance-free element makes the home an empty nesters’ nirvana. But the open space and absence of stairs also makes it ideal for young families. As for interior space, it reads as hotel rigid until there for a moment or two. Then it almost warms. The high ceilings and open space create a sense of luxury, but the location and structure balance it with a cottage feel. “I think what surprises people the most about this place is they say it is calm,” he said. “Lots of people have told me how calm and quiet it feels. There doesn’t seem like a huge barrier between inside and out. And it’s nice in all seasons.” Calm and quiet? Sound perfect for meditating.

City to allow medical marijuana growing in industrial areas Facilities must be 150 metres from homes and institutions laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Growing medical marijuana will soon be allowed in certain industrial parks in Ottawa. The city’s planning committee approved new zoning rules to accommodate the federal government’s changes to the medical marijuana access program on Feb. 11. The city has already received nine notifications from local businesses who are interested in applying for a federal medical marijuana growing license on April 1. The facilities will be allowed in general and heavy industrial zones in both the urban and rural areas. But for some councillors and members of the public, the 150-metre separation distance between the facilities and residences or institutions was not enough. Orlans Coun. Bob Monette worried that children at daycares allowed to be located in industrial parks would be too close to the facilities. He dissented on the committee’s vote to approve the rules. “This use is no dirtier, to be blunt, than any other use permitted in an industrial zone,” said Carol Ruddy, the city planner in charge of the study. She said the normal separation distance for an industrial use is 70 m. The largest distance she encountered for a marijuana growing facility setback was a kilometre, Ruddy said. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the city should be looking at the higher end of that setback distance range in order to protect nearby

homes from things like fires at marijuana grow-ops. Lee Ann Snedden, manager of policy development and urban design, said growing marijuana isn’t considered to be a “sensitive land use” due to the tight federal regulations on how the facilities are designed. The only reason her staff supported a larger setback from residential areas was due to “perceived issues” with the facilities, she said. Ruddy said increasing the separation distance would result in creating “dead zones” around the facilities. “This is lands we’ve set aside for employment uses… we need those lands, they are important,” she said. “Quite frankly the (planning) department’s position is (that larger separation distances) sterilize lands from a particular use,” Snedded added. Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess agreed, saying the city needs to protect economic development opportunities on lands it has set aside for employment uses, like industrial parks. She added that federal regulations won’t’ allow any odours to escape from the facilities. “They must have sophisticated HVAC systems and (air) scrubbers,” she said. The federal laws for medical marijuana are far more strict than many other industrial use, many of which have unregulated emissions, Ruddy said. The facilities will require annual federal inspection, which is more frequent than other types of facilities, Snedden said. All production, storage and destruction of marijuana must be location inside the facility

The dark areas on the map show industrial areas where medical marijuana growing facilities will be allowed to operate in Kanata if on Feb. 26 city council approves zoning rules recommended by the planning committee. – no outdoor growing is allowed. No clients are allowed to access the buildings and delivery vehicles must enter inside the facility to pick up the product. The buildings must have outdoor surveillance equipment. If city councillors had rejected specific zoning rules for medical marijuana growing facilities, it would have

been considered an agricultural use by default and therefore allowed in a number of rural zones, including agricultural, rural countryside, mineral aggregate and extraction zones, environmental protection zones and development reserve areas. Those land uses area allowed in approximately 75 per cent of the city’s rural land area.

Plan on track to enhance portion of Bank Street sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The city is looking to turn the southern end of Bank Street into a safer and more community oriented road. Residents will have the opportunity to participate in creating a community design plan for Bank Street from the CN railway corridor south to Queensdale Avenue at a public meeting on Feb. 20. Planner Jillian Savage said the community design plan is a good follow-up to a previous one done for Bank Street north of Billing’s Bridge to the CN railway tracks. The goal of the plan is to transform this portion of Bank Street in the GloucesterSouthgate Ward from a street heavily used by automobiles into a more pedestrian and cycling-friendly roadway. “It’s one of the first ones we did for an arterial main street, so we are basically completing the process for the street,” she said. The community design plan will set a vision for a more improved and safer corridor, said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. “Right now, residents feel as if the street is a barrier to them,” said Deans. “This community design plan is an opportunity to work toward creating a more community-oriented, safe and sustainable neighbourhood. We need to consider the different uses along Bank Street that when combined come together to make Gloucester-Southgate a great place to live, work, and raise a family.” CHALLENGES

The study area is nearly 3.5 kilometres in length, and includes any properties that touch Bank Street as well as properties located between Bank and Sawmill Creek. A few key areas of the plan include the South Keys Shopping Centre, Sawmill Creek,

the South Keys and Greenboro transit stations, the large intersection at Bank and Hunt Club Road, an area east of Bank at Hunt Club which currently has industrial zoning, and the Jewish Memorial Gardens cemetery. This project is unique as it is taking a portion of Bank and finding out what some of its characteristics could be, said Savage. “We cannot assume that Bank Street has just one characterization throughout its whole area,” she said. One of the challenges will be to find way of balancing the means of transportation on the major route, while ensuring it remains pedestrian-friendly. With environmental assessments underway for the Greenboro and South Keys transit stations in preparation for the possible extension of the O-Train line, it is important now more than ever to start the plan, said Savage. Savage said the areas around the two transit stations will experience development pressure first. The plan will ultimately see the physical landscape of both public and private properties change as time goes on, said Savage. The community of Gloucester-Southgate is already on board with the project, Deans said, as stakeholders from different areas of the public have helped comprise three different groups – a business advisory, a public advisory, and a technical advisory group. From the residents she’s heard from, Deans said one of the areas they feel most strongly about changing or improving is the safety and overall façade of the South Keys Shopping Centre. “Long-term, the redevelopment of the mall is going to be a big player for the strategy,” said Deans. Savage noted some examples of the redevelopment could include making it more of a walkable and pedestrianfriendly entity.

“There’s a lot of improvements that can be made to make it more pedestrianfriendly,” she said. “Right now, people have to drive from one end to another. We want to make it into destination.” Both Deans and Savage are impressed with the public’s participation in the community design plan. “Especially when it comes to the South Keys Shopping Centre, people really do seem invested in it,” said Savage. The other unique part of the plan is Sawmill Creek, she added. Residents would like to see the wetland become more of a natural habitat in the future and have a pathway system weave throughout the creek. “They’d like to have the opportunity where they can enjoy it,” she said. Resident Jennifer Talbot said she is anxious to see what types of ideas arise from residents regarding improving the street. Safety is a huge concern for her. “I cycle in the summer most of the time to work, and use OC Transpo in the fall and winter, but there’s a lot that could be done to make the street itself more pedestrian friendly,” she said. Likewise, the South Keys Shopping Centre needs to be revamped with added safety measures, Talbot added. “There is a lot of traffic and usage in that mall, but it’s not the best in terms of safety and it’s not really a place where you’d want to be at night either,” she said. “There are things they can do to improve the outside of it and make it more of a place where people can walk easily.” The Bank Street community design plan meeting is set to take place at the Greenboro Community Centre starting at 6 p.m. A staff presentation will take place at 7 p.m. before a question and answer period.

News - Mayor Jim Watson’s idea to name a yard between city hall and the courthouse after Nelson Mandela is up for public scrutiny. Watson revealed the idea during his “state of the city” speech to city council on Jan. 22. “It would be a small, but meaningful way to recognize the man who inspired people the world over,” the mayor said. The proposal is under consideration by the city’s commemorative naming committee, which is seeking the public’s feedback. If approved, the area in front of the city hall heritage building facing Elgin Street, in front of the Human Rights Monument, will be renamed. Comments on this proposal must be directed to Diane Blais in the city clerk’s office by emailing namingottawa@ottawa.ca no later than March 14. The South African leader dedicated his life to ending that country’s apartheid regime died on Dec. 5, 2013. Mandela was South Africa’s first black chief executive, elected as president from 1994 to 1999 after serving 18 years in prison for plotting to overthrow the government using violence. He was the first living foreigner to be made an honourary Canadian citizen and the first foreign leader to be made a member of the Order of Canada. Mandela visited Ottawa in 1998 and unveiled a plaque honouring John Peters Humphrey in front of the Human Rights Monument outside city hall’s heritage building.

BUYER BEWARE: 13 Extra Costs to be Aware of Before Buying a Home

Ottawa & Area - Whether you're looking to buy your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs - on top of the purchase price - that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you're not informed and prepared. Some of these costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. While not all of these costs will apply in every situation, it's better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly. Remember, buying a home is a major milestone, and whether it's your first, second or tenth, there are many small but important details, not to mention

stress and excitement, to deal with during the process. The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations in the hours before you take possession of your new home. To help homebuyers understand what these extra costs are, and in what situations they may apply, a free industry report has been prepared called "13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home."

downtown and this is step one of getting more stores and services with a mixture of residential as part of the larger development, just south of there,” she said. Trinity Development Group has not commented on its plans for the area, though rezoning would allow for anything from cinemas to a retirement home. However, Harder said the plan is to bring more retailers to Barrhaven. “Trinity is working on a number of various retailers, but definitely there would be a box store, a large box store, as part of it with some other stores and businesses that we absolutely need in Barrhaven.”

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Trinity Development Group’s rezoning application for 3194 Jockvale Rd. is the first step in developing Barrhaven’s downtown, says Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. The application requests rezoning 10.61 hectares of land between Greenbank Road and the Kennedy Burnett drain, and behind existing retail stores on Strandherd Drive, from Development Reserve to MixedUsed Centre. Harder said this is the start of a project that has been a long time coming. “It’s building on Barrhaven’s

Trinity Group’s map of the project shows three large buildings including a proposed Jr. Department Store, and plenty of parking. But that is just the beginning, said Harder of developments in the area. “This is a very big deal,” she said. “It’s going to bring new services to the community, and ones that the most recent business study done by Barrhaven’s Business Improvement Area clearly show as necessary.” Trinity’s development is just the kind of thing the Barrhaven BIA’s study says it should support, said the BIA’s executive director, Andrea Steenbakkers. “We are really supportive of any new commercial development that happens in the downtown core of the community, because that continues to allow the existing businesses there to just grow and get stronger,” she said. “I know that there are some fairly major tenants that Trinity is working with throughout the development of the application, and we want to make sure that there is not so much red tape involved.” Though the project is just getting started, Steenbakkers said the development and business community in the area support it. However, community members have until Feb. 26 to send their comments to sean.moore@ottawa.ca .

House parties would always bring special magic

hen I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held without being asked, she said it was very simple. The central switchboard operator just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch. Well, that all made perfect sense to me. That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the 20-Acre Field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping. With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my

MARY COOK Memories sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew without asking that out in the summer

kitchen, 11-quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing. I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove, everything was ready for a great night of fun. Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders. The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy

feather ‘tickings,’ puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!” It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit, as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in

my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the 20-Acre Field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends,

at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?” Audrey would say the same words she said every time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary, just Renfrew County magic.”

There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place

Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my own bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question. “How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep

It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the Saturday night party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my own bed. Magic indeed!

Schools use spirit of Olympic Games as a teaching tool Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Though the true message of the Olympic Games can become lost amid politics, scandals and even unfortunate plumbing issues, local schools are not missing the chance to use the event as a teaching opportunity. As the 2014 Olympic Winter Games kicked off in Sochi on Feb. 7, Manordale Public School marked the occasion by inviting a Canadian twotime Olympic gold medalist and a group of Binghamton Senators to their school. Carolyn Waldo, a synchronized swimmer and the first Canadian woman to win two gold medals in the same Olympic Games, was welcomed to the school by cheering students decked out in red. Now a sports anchor and reporter, Waldo was on hand to interview four members of the Binghamton Senators, the Ottawa Senators’ American Hockey League affiliate team. While students were suitably star-struck by the athletes, they got more than a thrill out of the experience.

Fellow student Ania Wolframe said it was the personal stories of experiencing and overcoming hard times that inspired her. “I like to listen to what other people have to say and (know) I’m not alone if I have a certain problem,” she said.

Puempel and Chris Wideman spoke about juggling school with hockey, the pressure of elite competition and where their inspiration to play and succeed came from. “They really inspired me today,” said Luaui Maghur. “I feel like I want to play

The school’s 530 students participated indoors and outdoors in bobsleigh, biathlon, relay, hockey and curlingthemed events. The goal was to celebrate the Olympics, and channel some of the best attributes the games bring out, said principal Denise Gagnon-Lebrun. “We are showing young children how to interact with each other, how to believe in each other and to take risks,” said Gagnon-Lebrun. “We see our athletes do this all the time, push themselves to become the best that they can be, and they get to show that at the Olympics. “We tie that in here with, ‘What can you do better? How can you become a better person or how can you become a better athlete or a better reader?’” Though the Olympics may seem to be a long ways away for the students, the school recently learned that a Barrhaven Public alumnus has already blazed the way for them. “We found out this morning that a former Barrhaven student (Paul Bonifacio Parkinson) is right now figure skating for Italy (in the Olympics),” she said. “We talked to the kids about that and we told them at our opening ceremonies this morning, ‘that could be you some day, in the Olympics.’”

The adults love all that too - but also appreciate the extra layer of emotion we’ve brought to the story, with the relationship between the dad and his daughter,” said Mitchell. Adding to the excitement is a third character, suggested by Donaldson, in the form of a live viola player who creates the sounds of whales, ships, storms and more while on stage.

Arts – A traveling theatre production based on popular children’s book The Snail and the Whale has gleaned inspiration from an organization that helps deployed soldiers record bedtime stories for their children. The organization, called Storybook Soldiers, based in Tidworth, U.K., served as the inspiration for bringing the children’s book to the stage, said the show’s director, Toby Mitchell in an email interview.

The organization trains soldiers on recording equipment, recording them as they recite bedtime stories for their Dr. Graeme Ferguson children to listen to when they are deployed. After adding some music and sound effects, the soldier’s child can listen to their parent’s voice on CD whenever they want. “Apparently, one of (soldiers’) favourite stories is The Snail and the Whale,” said Mitchell. By re-enacting the bedtime story exchange between parent and child, Mitchell crafted a way to tell the story on stage. “So in our show we see the story through the eyes of a little girl who’d love to be sailing around the world with her seafaring dad - just like the Snail sailing with the Whale.” The children’s story, written by Julia Donaldson, is about two unlikely friends, a snail and a The team at whale, traveling the world together.

Youth Employment Stay home if you are Fund creating jobs sick: Ontario’s doctors

young workers

Under the fund, Ontario is providing up to $7,800 to cover a range of supports and services for each eligible young worker. That includes up to $6,800 to help cover wage and training costs, and up to $1,000 to help young workers pay for job-related costs like tools and transportation to work. Eligible youth aged 15 to 29 and employers can apply online to access the fund through Employment Ontario’s employment service. The fund is part of the Ontario Youth Jobs Strategy, which is helping more young people find work or start their own businesses, and ensure that employers can find the skilled workers they need to grow their businesses. The province is investing $295 million over two years through the strategy to create employment opportunities for 30,000 young people aged 15 to 29.

People such as children, seniors and those living with chronic diseases are more susceptible to the flu and are a greater risk from its complications. Following a few basic guidelines such as coughing and sneezing into an elbow, using hand sanitizer and washing hands frequently will help

I can’t stress it enough going to work while sick is bad for you and potentially worse for your colleagues Dr. Scott Wooder

prevent the flu. These are important tips, but getting the flu shot is still the best defence against the flu. It’s important to protect yourself and those around by taking the necessary steps to prevent the spread of the flu.

0220.R0012550098

Community - Ontario’s Youth Employment Fund is helping young people across the province get training, find jobs and gain valuable work experience. Since launching in September, the fund has helped employers across Ontario offer 5,792 four- to six-month job and training placements to young people looking for employment. The fund is well on its way to meeting its twoyear target of creating 25,000 job opportunities.

News - With the flu season in full swing, Ontario’s doctors are encouraging people who are sick to stay home. “I can’t stress it enough going to work while sick is bad for you and potentially worse for your colleagues,” said Dr. Scott Wooder, president of the Ontario Medical Association. “Staying home to rest will help you to manage your illness and prevent others from getting infected. Think about those around you, and please don’t take the flu to work.” The flu is highly contagious. Most cold and flu viruses are spread because people touch surfaces and then touch their faces, other objects and other people. Employers should encourage workers to stay home when sick – not require sick notes – which has a discouraging effect and forcing patients into the doctor’s office when they are sick only encourages the spread of germs to those in the waiting room, who in some cases are often more vulnerable.

Active thinking leads to better grades News Canada

News - All students are active thinkers by nature, but not all students know how to think actively when it comes to classroom learning or athome studying.

According to Oxford Learning’s CEO and founder, Dr. Nick Whitehead, this is because, like many other school skills (such as studying, organization, and focus) active thinking is a skill that students need to be shown

how to use. “Active learning is not a skill restricted to the classroom. Children (and adults, too) should always be thinking about the world around them. In fact, the more that children develop this skill

outside the classroom, the more they are able to apply it in class.” Dr. Whitehead outlines three simple steps for students to follow to practice their active thinking skills: •Before the activity,

whether it’s doing a craft or sitting down in class, students should pause to try reflect on what they already know about what they are going to do. • During the activity students should ask themselves questions to draw connections or highlight details, like “What is this similar to?” • After the activity students can reflect on what they just learned. Dr. Whitehead says

that parents can encourage active thinking by prompting conversations about learning and by asking the right questions. Instead of asking, “how was school?”, more specific questions such as “how was math class?” or “what concepts did you learn today?” are more helpful. News Canada

Ratatouille a dish that can be enjoyed all year long Lifestyle - Ratatouille is a traditional French stewed vegetable dish, typically prepared in the summer, in the area of Provence or Nice, France. The original recipe used only zucchini, tomatoes, green and red sweet peppers, onions and garlic. The dish today adds eggplant to the mixture. There is much debate as to how to make traditional ratatouille. Some sauté all the vegetables, others cook each vegetable separately layering each in a casserole and baking in an oven. Ratatouille works as a side dish, as a meal with rice, pasta or polenta. Preparation time: 15 to 20 minutes. Cooking time: about 40 minutes. Serves 8 to 10. Ingredients

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil • 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each dried basil and oregano • 1 large sweet green pep-

News - Children and teens with learning disabilities can experience unique emotional and behavioural issues, said Mindware Academy founder Shelley Holloway. The newly-minted chair-

woman of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton, said that’s why the school and the association will host a workshop by child psychologist Dr. Maggie Mamen, entitled Understanding and Managing Emotional and Behavioural Issues in Children and Adolescents with Learn-

ing Disabilities. The workshop – set to be held at the school on Pinecrest Road on Feb. 27 – is the beginning of what Holloway said she hopes will be a speaker’s series that can serve as a fundraiser for the association and a guide for parents.

Holloway said for children with learning disabilities that problem doesn’t just end once the school bell rings at the end of the day. Mindware Academy – a private school that Holloway founded for students with dyslexia, Aspergers, attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – boasts 40 students from grades one to eight. “We get kids who have self-esteem, anxiety issues, sometimes full-blown phobias about going to school,” Holloway said. “Boys who have trouble sitting still in class can act

out at the end of the day.” Mamen, who operates her practice in Centrepointe , has written several books, including Understanding Nonverbal Learning Disabilities: A Common-Sense Guide for Parents and Professionals and The Pampered Child Syndrome: How to Recognize It, How to Manage It and How to Avoid It. Holloway said her talk will give parents some ideas and coping mechanisms. The workshop will cost $20 for members of the association and $30 for nonmembers. Tickets can be purchased online at eventbrite.ca.

Reasons for kids to play video games Lifestyle - It’s easy to think that the time your kids spend playing video games is time wasted, but a closer look at the skills your child is learning might prove that thought wrong. Here are five reasons why

your kids will benefit from being gamers: • Video games teach problem solving and decision making. Gaming isn’t a mindless activity – it’s the opposite. Video games get kids to think and require constant input from

the player. Instead of passively absorbing information from a TV show or movie, your child is actively engaged in logical thinking and decision making. They’re also learning to set goals and execute plans. • Video games are social.

Years ago gaming was a solitary activity, but due to the Internet, gamers can now play and create together. For example, games like LittleBigPlanet 2 encourage players to create their own levels to share and play with other gamers around

the world. • Video games provide positive reinforcement. The activity encourages children to improve their skills, and then this improvement is rewarded by advancing in the game. Learning the importance of practice and

discipline will help kids during school and other hobbies. • Video games build teamwork. Most are now designed with cooperative play options. Whether it’s solving puzzles together, or being on the same hockey team, video games give kids a number of different ways to constructively work together. News Canada

Gloucester Fair increasing number of festival days jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Gloucester Fair is growing. The regional fair will move from four days in the last week of May, to 10 days at the end of August. The new, extended version will kick off on Aug. 15 and run until Aug. 24. Harley Bloom who is on the fair’s board of directors, said the longer run and new dates aren’t the only exciting additions. “We are very excited with the possibilities,” he said. Festivities will kick off with a monster truck show and a demolition derby. Bloom said there will also be one headliner and other local entertainers on stage throughout the fair. The change in timing and length will mean more planning, but the basic infrastructure has been in place for years, said the fair board’s president Maurice Lafortune. Originally started as an offshoot of the City of Glouces-

Road, nearly three decades ago. The fair board is a working one and Lafortune said mem-

ter’s parks and recreation department, the fair started in the parking lot of the Earl Armstrong Arena on Ogilvie

bers can be found throughout the fairgrounds driving fence spikes into the ground or pitching in wherever else they’re needed. It was moved to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 1997 largely because it had outgrown its home. “The Rideau Carleton Raceway have been great partners to us,” Bloom said.

Bloom said the board began to consider taking over the late-August dates a few years ago when the Super Ex was suspended in 2011. “We are not looking to take over for the Ex,” Bloom said. Bloom said the Gloucester fair will still maintain it’s smaller, regional fair feel, despite the extended timelines and addition of more rides and

attractions. This year, the fair will have the largest midway in the city, featuring the Zipper, Scrambler and Fireball, among others. There will also be a kid’s zone with a petting zoo, pony rides, the bird of prey show and DooDoo the Clown. See FAIR, page 66

Fair to include more activities, shows Continued from page 65

Bloom and Lafortune said what makes the fair special is the fact that it has hosted more than 1,000 physically and mentally handicapped children during its existence. “We offer them a day at the park for free,” Bloom said. The change in timeline from May to August may mean organizers will have to reach out to

families or agencies in the communities so the kids can have a chance to take advantage of their day. Traditionally, the one-day event during the fair has been sponsored by Hydro Ottawa. The utility company provides funding and volunteers to help out. Another big event is the annual Smoked to the Bone barbecue competition, sponsored

by D& S Southern Comfort BBQ. There are amateur and professional categories. Bloom said there are $20,000 worth of prizes. “Having (the competition) in August will make it the season finale for the Canadian Southern BBQ Association,” Bloom said. Even though there are a lot of events planned, Bloom said organizers will be looking for input

from the public in the coming months to see what Ottawans would like to have. “We are thinking about a pet day and maybe an ultimate frisbee or soccer tournament,” Bloom said, adding organizers may look to the public for a newer, more regional name for the fair as well. While there are no bus routes to the Rideau Carleton Raceway, Bloom said he is looking into whether the city can extend bus service for the duration of the fair, or if the board can organize some kind of shuttle service. “We want to make this a real family-friendly event,” he said. “We are very excited.”

St. Patrick’s Home looking for more lottery ticket buyers Sabine Gibbins

sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – Many tickets are still available for St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa Foundation’s annual lottery. Development officer Marlee McElligot said there are approximately 400 tickets still left to be purchased. In its more than 20-year tenure, the lottery has sold out since 2005. The week leading up to the Feb. 24 deadline is always a race, but this year has proven

to be a little more challenging, said McElligot. One of the main reasons for this is due to staff concentrating primarily on moving seniors into their new residences by Dec. 30, 2013, she added. Priorities shifted so they could meet the move-in deadline and focus on setting up the spaces. The new home is located right beside the former residence, which will soon be demolished. “There’s always a big push during the last few weeks to

try and sell out the lottery,” she said. “We really need the help from the community this year to reach our goals,” she said. Funds raised from the lottery will go towards purchasing medical and recreational equipment for residents, she said. “A lot of it goes towards patient or spiritual care,” she said. Every year, the foundation hopes to sell out the 2,000 tickets which are sold for $100 each, McElligot added. R0012551875

Next year, the foundation hopes to inform buyers specifically where their money went. One of the major incentives for supporters is the fact they have many chances of winning. For anyone who bought an early-bird ticket, their name went back into the draw, after an early-bird lottery took place on Jan. 22 for a $10,000 and a $5,000 prize. The main draw will take place on March 7 for a $10,000, $5,000, and 12 $1,000 prizes. Monthly draws will take place afterwards on the second Wednesday of the month from April to December for $1,000 and $5,000 prizes. McElligot said one of the main reasons why the lottery is so popular is because there is a cluster of dedicated seniors in the community who always purchase tickets every year. St. Patrick’s Home is a haven for more than 200 residents, said McElligot. A new building was required as the original one was outdated – it is over 50 years old – and in need of repair. Still a beehive of activity as construction workers and staff move in between piles of supplies and furniture in the hall-

Construction on the new building began in September 2011. When the older building is demolished, it will create more parking spaces and a refreshed landscape design. McElligot said she believes the reason why St. Patrick’s

Home stands out is due to the 200 volunteers who help run the programs and services for seniors. For more information on the lottery, please visit www. stpats.ca/foundation, or phone them at 613-260-2738.

Protect Your Young Family. Today and in Your Future. Many people don’t think too much about life insurance — until they have a family. If you don’t already have life insurance, or have only minimal coverage, now is a great time to make sure your children and spouse would be financially protected if you were to pass away. Life insurance can help by providing a tax-free benefit that your family could use to cover expenses, pay off loans and debts, pay for your children’s education and more. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to life insurance: � Your life insurance benefit can be used to pay for whatever your family needs or wants — from mortgage costs to day-to-day expenses, to summer camps and vacations. � A stay-at-home spouse needs life insurance too, even if they’re not earning an income. The work they do at home, including childcare, housekeeping, cooking and more, comes with significant financial value. Life insurance could cover those costs and give them the flexibility to take time off work to help themselves and your children deal with their loss. � Even if you have coverage from work, it may not be enough. Plus, it may not continue if you were to leave your current employer. Your own policy stays with you, regardless of your employment status. � We offer a variety of life insurance plans that can suit your budget, lifestyle and needs. And, you can make changes to your policy as your life changes and your needs evolve. Underwritten by RBC Life Insurance Company.

Aries, you want more than you can acquire this week and your desires may lead you astray. It is important to exercise selfrestraint, even if you get a thrill from living on the edge.

Libra, it may seem like you are being led astray by one thing after another, when all you want is to focus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions.

Taurus, make a concerted effort to improve your focus in the weeks ahead. There is much to lose if you cannot tackle the tasks at hand, particularly at the workplace. Gemini, it’s unlike you to slow down, so don’t be surprised when friends start looking at you curiously after you take your foot off the gas. Your free spirited nature will soon return.

A need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others’ perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light. Virgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgement might be off this week. Rely on your intuition, but don’t make any big decisions without first thinking carefully.

Scorpio, work on a creative project with a sweetheart or friend early in the week. Ideas will flow easily and your imaginations will soar together. It is a productive pairing. This is not your week to mix love and money, Sagittarius. In fact, keep the two as separate as possible, and exercise caution before lending anyone money.

Cancer, find a routine that works for you and then stick with it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and when actions become automatic, you can focus on other things.

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!

Cheese skins 18. Deafening noise 19. Cheeky talk 20. Early photograph 24. Basics 25. 007’s Flemming 26. Photograph (slang) 27. Male sheep 28. Norse sea goddess

Capricorn, you want to play outside of the rules this week. You normally like to follow a relatively traditional course, so this catches others off guard. You don’t always have the patience to stick with the same routine, Aquarius. That means others cannot expect you to conform to their whims if they want you as a friend. Pisces, you may need to sacrifice some security for a chance to have a memorable experience. Do something out of the ordinary.
