Family discovers cool alternative to air conditioning Chantal Mack

Submitted by Joe Laroque

Glen Cairn runner Leah Larocque was sporting her er trademark pigtails and watch, as well as an inspiring Bible verse in her shoe, when won the five-kilometre race.

Glen Cairn runner triples down From RACE, page 1

“If you got a lot of people around you it’s going to push you faster.”

When she crossed the finish line, Laroque saw she was six seconds over her goal time.

“I was a little disappointed, but I was excited to win it.”

Larocque’s parents attended the race.

“That means a lot when have people to cheer you on,” she said.

For her effort, Larocque was awarded a plaque and a bouquet of flowers.

“They gave me a wreath to put on my head, which made me feel uncomfortable that I had to wear it.”

Larocque celebrated the win the next day, with her

teammates on the Running Room Racing Team.

“She’s a great runner,” said the team’s coach, Phil Marsh.

“She’s coming from a track and field background. Her endurance is coming along but her speed is a lot better than a lot of girls who run five kilometres.”

Next up on Larocque’s racing agenda is the Barrhaven Run on June 9 and Emilie’s Run at the Aviation Parkway in Ottawa on June 23.

GLEN CAIRN RUNNER

Larocque, who attended John Young Public School, W.O. Mitchell Elementary School and A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, ran for her high school track and field team.

“I was more of a sprinter, a 400-metre hurdler in high school,” she said. “So I wasn’t really doing the distances for very long.”

After graduating from Queen’s University with a bachelor of global development studies in 2011, Larocque moved back home and worked as a communications assistant with the Ottawa Senators as well as writing a regular blog column for the Runner’s Web. Starting next September, she will begin her first year of a masters of journalism program at Carleton University.

Larocque said she would love to land a job as a sports broadcaster.

Larocque was named Ottawa’s Road Racer of the Year in 2010 and 2011.

A Bridlewood family has created a way to cool houses without using air conditioning.

“It all started when we started seeing our hydro bill rise.

We have always been energy conscious, but running our air conditioning in the summer caused a drastic increase, said Cate Rushforth.

As a result, the family began to look at alternatives.

“I started looking online to find ways to cool the hotter rooms in our house.

One of the suggestions was putting aluminum foil up on windows, to reflect the sun.

“It worked really well, but it made the house so dark, and we couldn’t see outside. It just didn’t feel like the right solution for us,” Rushforth said.

Getting creative, she took a camping blanket made of Mylar – aluminized polyester sheets that act like a mirror to reflect the sun and keep heat out – and placed it on the windows instead.

“It reflects heat the same way the aluminum foil did, but it’s transparent, allowing us to still have light enter the house.”

With the Mylar on the windows, the family stopped using air conditioning.

“The house was so much cooler. We only ran the air conditioning for about three hours throughout the entire summer, and it was only on days where you knew the heat would not let up,” Rushforth said.

“In the end we saved over $100 on our hydro bill.”

Neighbours started to notice these new window fittings, and upon hearing what they did, requests were made to have them installed in their

A local family has devised an electricity-saving alternative to air conditioning. own homes.

“My husband and I started talking about it. We both agreed that we didn’t want to go into the business of installing the Mylar, but with my business degree in mind, we thought about creating the product for purchase.”

Rushforth said they debated the idea for a while, but her oldest daughter Sara came home one day saying that Dragon’s Den auditions were being held this past March, and they should try selling the product.

“We didn’t make it past the audition phase, but the video footage of our audition was up on the Dragon’s Den website for about a month. Home Hardware ended up coming to us, asking if we would be interested in testing our product in their stores.”

With a proposition made, Rushforth said it was hard to refuse.

The family began creating kits.

“The have everything you need in them. The Mylar is pre-cut in three sizes, we then

also have tape, a squeegee and instructions. All you need is soap and water to adhere it to the windows,” Rushforth said.

“The nicest part about it is the fact you can take it down, re-apply it and because it goes up with soap and water, no residue is left behind on the windows.”

The kits, named the Sun Reflector Kit, are now available in the Bridlewood Home Hardware as well as in one in the Glebe. The cost of the product is $12.99.

“When you’re spending less than $20 and are able to save up to hundreds of dollars by cutting our air conditioning. It’s a great feeling, especially when your house is still cool,” Rushforth said.

“If the testing period goes well, this could become a national product found in every Home Hardware in Canada.

Not only would the success be amazing, but knowing the good minimizing hydro usage does for the environment – and your wallet – is the best part.

A.Y. Jackson students gear up for annual Kenya Run Gabrielle Tieman

helping the students with different events. The three of us decided to join forces to make one global action team.”

Over the last four years, Kirk says the action group has been able to direct funds into not only education but as well into building a well in a Kenya community.

Having raised over $27,000 from previous runs and other fundraisers, the students were able to stabilize a Kenya community to the point of no longer needing support.

“We were originally supporting another school,” said Kirk. “The money built a well, a school – everything was up and running. Once the school was stable, they told us that they were good. This time around the students decided it was important to support women’s education.”

The second community discovered with help through Community Education Services Canada – a not-forprofit non-governmental organization that supports bright Kenyan students who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS – will be receiving the donations from this June’s run.

Student leader Erica Hammond, a 17-year-old student at A.Y. Jackson, says she was inspired to become part of the action from watching her older sister Emily run the group in previous years.

“In the past years of the event my sister was involved

and I would volunteer and I thought it was really good what they were doing,” said Hammond. “I thought it would be nice to be part of the organizing team.”

Along with fellow student leaders Dreu Bursey, Diane Beriault and Ellen Xue, Hammond said they currently have 20 students volunteering with the group and almost 70 people signed up to run the race.

With previous years seeing close to 100 participants – a

combination of students, staff members, families and community members – Hammond expects participation to exceed these numbers in the coming weeks leading to the event.

“I think it inspires people to get involved,” said Hammond.

“There is a lot happening in the world and it helps people see how they can help out. I think people will like what is happening.”

The run starts at 9:30 a.m. outside of the school on 150

Abbeyhill Dr. in Kanata. Participants are given the opportunity to walk or run five to 10 kilometers.

Participants can register either online at www.running room.com or at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School for $25.

EMC news - Students at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School will host the fourthannual Kenya Run for the community June 2 to raise money to send girls to Ibinzo Secondary School in Western Province, Kenya.

An annual tradition for A.Y. Jackson students, Shelly Kirk, a teacher at the school, says the run is only one part of the school wide initiative to not only help global students in need, but show Canadian students that taking action can have life changing results.

“I love hands on goals,” said Kirk. “It is one thing to teach but it is another thing totally to get involved and really do something practical with instant results. The money gets raised and a lot of time and effort goes into the event.

And then they look and say wow – we can make a positive change in the world.”

Kirk said previous fundraisers have been organized by student groups with staff supporting the goals – with alumni students Alana and Marlin Bursey originally starting the school action group.

“We had a global action team and a social action club where students could get involved with different initiatives to help different causes,” said Kirk. “Originally, three of us at the school – myself, Cathy Belanger and Susan Hemstreet – each had a group and were

The United Way Community Builder Turning Lives Around Award was presented to Maison Fraternité

by Hydro Ottawa’s David McKendry.

Hydro Ottawa proudly participated in the United Way Community Builder of the Year Awards on May 17. The event celebrated the contribution of exceptional individuals and organizations that have helped shape our community.

For the third consecutive year, Hydro Ottawa sponsored the celebration’s Turning Lives Around award, which was presented to Maison Fraternité. The award recognizes those who help the homeless, people with mental health and addictions problems, and those in crisis get the support they need.

Maison Fraternité was honoured for their work with Francophone youths struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. Their services include an in-school intervention service and a residential day program.

“Organizations like Maison Fraternité do so much to make Ottawa a better place. It’s an honour to help recognize their dedication to our community through the Community Builder Awards,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer at Hydro Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa and its employees are strong supporters of the United Way. Through employee donations and corporate matching dollars, Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaigns have raised more than $1 million over the past 11 years.

“Contributing to the well-being of our community has always been a part of Hydro Ottawa’s core mandate,” said Conrad. “Each year our employees generously give back to the community we serve.”

In November 2011, Hydro Ottawa’s United Way Campaign Committee was honoured with a Community Builder Award. Thanks to their leadership, and with the support of employees across the company, Hydro Ottawa is now the largest donor among more than 80 companies in the construction, manufacturing and services sector.

The employer contributions to Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaign are directed to the Brighter Tomorrows Fund. This community investment program supports front-line agencies that serve people who are homeless, or those at risk of being homeless, to invest in energy-efficient retrofits.

‘When you’re dealing with cancer it can be a dark time’: A.Y. Jackson student From RELAY, page 1

The event took place from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. at the school.

“When you’re dealing with cancer, it can be a dark time – it’s so hard. This is why we do the relay at night.

You’re tired, it’s dark and it’s a struggle. But then you see the sun start to rise and there’s hope. You can overcome it,” she explained.

MacLean said she was pleased with the turn out.

“We have eight teams here, each with up to 12 members. One person goes to the track we’ve set up in the gym, while others are invited to play games, watch live talent and have a snack or drink until it’s their turn to be on the track,” MacLean explained, adding that some also donated hair while there.

“It’s great!” she said “And being here, seeing each team has a name, an unofficial uniform or costume, and better yet, a story about why they chose to walk, who they are walking for – that’s amazing.”

Although things were kept up-tempo for the majority of the night to keep up the energy of the teams, there were sombre moments.

Executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, Cathy Jordan, poses with one of the shirts for the national Clothesline Project. A testimonial was written expressing a message of ‘Stop Abuse’ which was displayed outside the building for the WOCRC building on 2 MacNeil Crt. in Kanata on Wednesday, May 23.

EMC news - One of the main problems associated with domestic violence is that no one wants to talk about it, said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

“There has always been a perception that domestic violence doesn’t exist in a place like Kanata,” said Jordan.

The resource centre decided to do something about it.

It is raising awareness about domestic violence through two programs, their second annual poster contest and the resource centre is continuing its long standing affiliation with the national Clothesline Project.

The poster contest earned some rave reviews despite the fact the program is still in its early stages.

“It was a great way for (students) to talk openly about the issue and their ideas on it,” said Merivale High School teacher Jaclyn Canas.

“We had a good discussion about how abuse directly affects students. It was a great avenue for them to express their feelings on abusive relationships.”

Students from local area high schools participated in

the contest, which provided a forum allowing teenagers to express their views on the issue through creative art work.

There was also a corresponding video presentation informing the students about the issue of abusive relationships.

“The classroom was very good, we sort of shocked a few of them when we gave them the some of the videos,” said long-standing peer support member Terry Longhorn.

“We sort of shocked them with some of the stats.”

Canterbury High School student and poster contest winner Jayde Norstrom echoed the sentiment of Longhorn.

“It was scary, a lot worse than I thought.”

Norstrom was one of a handful of local area high school students who attended the awards banquet.

Fellow award winner and Merivale High School student Erin Morrison hopes the program will continue because of the message it sends to her colleagues.

She doesn’t think enough students are informed about the issues surrounding abusive relationships.

“I think it’s an interesting project, something people

should know about,” said Morrison.

“Not everyone really knows what’s going on. Education is key.”

Another program raising awareness about domestic violence was the Clothesline project.

It is a national program which started in 1990 and acts to address violence against women by expressing emotions through visual mediums on shirts.

Each shirt represents a testimonial of someone who was a victim of abuse. Colors are used to symbolize different experiences, everything from murder to incest.

“It’s another way of getting the message out their that abuse is not okay,” said Jordan.

“Each shirt represents a hardship that someone endured.”

The clothesline project is getting the message out there that abuse (in any form) will not be tolerated, it will not be swept aside.

This is a powerful message.

And it could not come at a better time.

Jordan said the shelter in Kanata is at capacity and on any given day the shelter turns away seven abused callers.

With the gardening season underway, the Urban Forest Stewardship Network (UFSN) is calling on residents in communities across Ontario to help trees in their yards and neighbourhoods.

Our trees exist in stressful conditions. Drought, air pollution, salt spray, competition with overhead utilities and root damage during construction are just a few of the hardships we ask our trees to endure. This spring, Ontarians can give their trees a little extra TLC with these top five care tips: 1. Plant the right tree in the right place. When planting new trees, make sure to match the species of tree you choose to the light, soil and space conditions of your yard. Be sure to look up so you don’t plant under hydro wires and always call before you dig!

2. Water regularly. Both newly planted and mature trees need regular watering.

Each week, feel the soil near the base of your tree. If dry, give it a long, slow soak.

3. Mulch regularly. Mulch (woodchips, leaves, compost) holds moisture, provides nutrients, prevents soil compaction, and creates a protective space around your tree. Spread mulch three inches deep around the base of your tree, ensuring it is not touching the trunk and causing decay.

4. Prevent damage. Avoid digging near trees or compacting soil which can cause root damage. Ninety per cent of a tree’s roots are located in the top two feet of soil and can extend up to three times the width of the canopy. Use organic alternatives to fertilizers and pesticides. Remove stakes after one year.

5. Prune properly. Educate yourself on proper tree pruning. Hire a certified arborist and investigate their reputation by speaking with previous

But for Angela Cameron, an assistant law professor at the University of Ottawa and a lesbian mother of two young girls, it is about making a difference.

“We have marriage, we have the ability to adopt, but let’s extend that legal protection to our children,” she said.

Cameron said the act would create a positive school environment for everyone.

“We have a legal obligation to take steps and end bullying in schools.”

working hard at making sure those people have a voice.

“Over 85 per cent of people oppose this bill and there has been a strong reaction from the public,” MacLeod said.

Benoit Mercier, president of the Franco-Ontarian Teachers Association, spoke at the hearings and was asked by MacLeod if he had had adequate consultation on the bill.

The short answer, Mercier said, was no.

MacLeod supports a competing bill, which she is designed to prevent bullying, create awareness and provide bullying prevention, including using restorative justice, an approach which focuses on the needs of the victims.

“This notion (restorative justice) has been left out of the conversation,” MacLeod said.

She said she will fight the government’s proposal clause by clause with the aim of making solid amendments.

EMC news - Community groups offered their support to the Accepting Schools Act during hearings in Ottawa on May 22 focusing on the antibullying legislation the provincial government is looking to put in place before the new school year.

“The Accepting Schools Act offers real change and supports youth initiatives in ways that we have never seen before,” said Jeremy Dias, founder of Jer’s Vision, speaking at the hearing.

If implemented, the act would introduce tougher consequences for bullying and hate-motivated actions, up to, and including, expulsion from school. It would also require all school boards to support students who want to promote gender equity, anti-racism, understanding and respect for people with

disabilities and people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, including groups with the name gaystraight alliance or other such names. It would also add a definition of bullying to the Education Act. The meeting, hosted at the Ottawa Mariott Hotel by Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, saw a number of community representatives speak in favour of the bill and about the importance of making a changes sooner rather than later.

“We have a responsibility to take leadership in bringing this legislation through,” Naqvi said. “When I hear about a young person taking their life, I feel I am failing in my job and that is why we are trying to implement this quickly.”

But critics of the bill say by going quickly, the government risks leaving out the views of others in the province. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she is

A case of putting off the hard work

D

espite a recent vote against a proposal

by Mayor Jim Watson to look at shrinking the number of representatives around the council table at city hall, councillors should start taking a reappraisal of Ottawa’s current ward system seriously.

Watson’s proposal to initiate a study of the city’s ward system in comparison with other municipalities, based on a campaign promise to reduce the number of councillors,

may have been abrupt, but the problem the mayor is aiming to address looms over city hall all the same.

Some of the councillors who voted against the proposal cited a formal review of Ottawa’s ward boundaries in 2015 as reason enough to delay tinkering with council seats. Others suggested the $250,000 cost of an early review would be a waste of money. But perhaps they’re just putting off the hard work for another day.

Ottawa’s current ward system, born of amalgamation, would be exposed as inefficient under any reasonable scrutiny. When compared with other large Canadian municipalities, Ottawans are over-represented. On average, each councillor in this city represents 40,154 residents, significantly lower than an average of the top 11 comparable muncipalities in both size and form of government, which stands at 53,346 residents for each councillor.

For the sake of further comparison, Calgary has the fewest elected representatives by population among the 11 cities, with one councillor for every 78,345 residents. On the low end is London, Ont., which has one councillor for every 26,154 citizens. Toronto (1 to 59,433), Brampton, Ont. (1 to 52,391) and Surrey, B.C. (1 to 58,531) fall around the average.

Some simple arithmetic reveals that for Ottawa to move towards the average,

about six councillor positions would need to be eliminated, a number that is close to what the mayor had suggested.

Why look at axing councillors? There are several compelling reasons. Ottawa is changing rapidly, with significant growth occurring in urban, suburban and rural areas of the city. The current system was distilled from the former municipalities, boundaries that no longer hold the same meaning as they did in 2001. At a minimum, taking a look at ward boundaries to see if they still make sense would be a useful exercise.

Each councillor represents added cost. While it is hard

to put a price on democracy, clearly some cities are able to do more with less. Shouldn’t Ottawa’s council at least consider if it’s possible to do the same? And while the current council has avoided much of the cacophony that characterized the last, fewer voices around the council horseshoe may in fact make it easier to be heard above the din.

Democratic reform is unpleasant business that no one, from self-interested politicians to disinterested voters, ever seems willing to tackle. But if councillors aren’t interested in considering such an exercise now, will they be any more ready in 2015?

COLUMN

Leaving room for nature in the woods CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

A

s you look forward to the next big long weekend – Canada Day – you might want to reconsider your attitude toward fireworks. For some people, the long weekend just past was the first time they became aware of the notion that fireworks are not all fun and games.

Perhaps it was because there were more of them this year. Oddly, given the supposed dire conditions of the economy, cottagers engaged in expensive competitions as to who could make the loudest noises for the longest time.

For three nights, it was as if the lake were under attack. It may still be going on, for all we know.

What do we learn from this? Among other things, some people still have too much money.

As recently as a few years ago, the summer fireworks season was small-scale and relatively harmless. A family would go down by the lake and set off a few, then stop after a few minutes.

But now there are more families with more fireworks and a kind of war of the eardrums has set in.

If it was just us, just people, we could endure it, even enjoy it up to a point. But there is more and more evidence that fireworks do more than disturb the peace. They also frighten wild animals, for which fireworks season is nesting time. The good clean fun fireworks lovers are having around the lake sets off a frenzy of fearful activity amongst the animals. According to a recent cottage newsletter, fireworks can be louder than gunshots or jet plane engines, so the terrified reaction of animals is not surprising, especially since many of them have a more

acute sense of hearing than we do.

Animal rights groups have been aware of this for years, but the idea has not penetrated the public consciousness until recently. This is odd because dog owners are keenly aware of the problem. The Internet is full of advice to dog owners about how to deal with the intense fear that many dogs have. Dog owners are urged to play loud recorded noises in the weeks leading up to a major holiday to get dogs used to it. The owners are offered various medications they can offer their pets. The option of not having fireworks goes unmentioned.

Human beings, of course, don’t mean any harm. We don’t set out to make life miserable for animals. However, we accomplish that quite easily just by being ourselves.

We set out to have fun and don’t really notice that anyone or anything is inconvenienced.

Or, for that matter, killed. A recent CBC radio documentary focused on the number of wolves and bears that are slaughtered each year around Banff National Park. And how do we accomplish this? With guns? With traps? No, we hit them with cars and trains.

More and more of us take those highways every year, where we stand a good chance of running over something that didn’t expect a highway to be there or, for that matter, know what a highway is. The irony of it is much of the killing is being done by people in a hurry to get to the park so they can see the animals.

Canada is not, relative to others, a crowded country. Still, people are moving into spaces that recently belonged mostly to animals. The animals are not used to having people around and don’t know what to do. When people begin acting like people – that is, driving cars around and making loud noises – nothing good can come out of it.

The kinds of recommendations you see to cure this generally involve banning people from being people. That hardly ever works. Persuading people to think is a more promising avenue, although hardly fool-proof. For a supposedly sentient species, thinking is not always what we do best.

What is the best strategy for eliminating weeds growing in your yard?

A) Yes. There’s already a review scheduled for 2015. What’s the rush?

A) One word – pesticides, and I’m not talking organic.

B) Yes. At a cost of $250,000, it’s not worth the money.

B) One word – pesticides, and I would only use organic ones.

C) No. We’ve got a few too many councillors on the city payroll – it’s time to take a hard look at that situation.

C) I’ll follow the example of my 29% father and my father’s father – just head outdoors and start yanking them out of the ground.

D) Councillors rejecting a study of their own jobs? Doesn’t surprise me at all.

D) Weeds are just another of nature’s creations – live and let live.

Skateboarders of all ages viewed two potential designs of the new skateboard park for the Richcraft Recreational Complex, set to open in 2013, during a public meeting at the Mlacak Centre on May 23.

“There has always been a need for youths to have an outlet, something to keep them busy and out of trouble.

Often, skateboarding does that, which is why we began to plan designs of a skatepark,” said Bill Gurney, landscape architect and senior design manager of New Line Skateparks Inc. New Line Skateparks never makes the same skate park twice, Gurney said.

To ensure each one-of-akind design suits the preferences of local skaters, the company holds three public meetings.

Plant a tree with a grant EMC news – Landowners interested in planting trees on their idle land starting in the Spring of 2013 will get help from conservation authority staff.

If you have the land and the desire to leave a family or community legacy, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has grant dollars and technical expertise to help you create your own future forest for the grandkids. The RVCA provides free, one-on-one

site visits by forestry professionals who can help develop customized planting plans to suit your individual objectives and property needs.

If you have a minimum of 0.4 hectares of land and are interested in planting a minimum of 500 trees, the RVCA has programs that provide significant subsidies to reduce the costs. In fact, landowners with three acres or more of suitable land are eligible for subsidies that reduce costs by

The RVCA has a long history of planting trees throughout the watershed.

Since 1983 the RVCA has planted more than four million trees. This spring’s planting has just wrapped up with 230,000 being planted on private land throughout the watershed.

Bethany Hope heritage designation around the corner Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A heritage designation to protect the Bethany Hope Centre – and its front lawn – received the approval of the city’s planning committee on May 22.

The property is owned by the Salvation Army, which sent its regional public relations director, Michael Maidment, to express concerns about limiting future development opportunities by designating the lawn as well as the building.

The Salvation Army has no problem with designating the building, but protecting the large swath of green space at the front of the property would reduce the value the church could get as it gears up to sell.

While the committee decided to continue with the notice to designate despite Maidment’s request for a delay, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs put forward an amendment directing the city’s planning and legal staff to discuss potential development opportunities with the Salvation Army with a view to resolving its appeal of the community design plan for the area to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Staff will report back to the planning committee on the success of those discussions on July 9.

Hobbs is happy to see those discussions taking place, be-

cause city staff had tried un- options” that benefit both the successfully to engage the Sal- city and the charitable organiL’événement vation Army in a discussion zation, Maidment said.

It’s important to create about the possible heritage some certainty about what designation for nine months.

Maidment said the city nev- could be done with the site er contacted him or anyone when it’s sold in the future, Hobbs said. She wants to see else at the Salvation Army.

“I chalk it up to some kind the Salvation Army get a fair value for the property. “They of mistake,” he said.

The Salvation Army was need to recoup what they can hoping to meet with the city from the property to continue this week to “find creative their ministry and not to have

that money go somewhere else,” she said, adding that a savvy developer might be able to find a loophole in the zoning and resell it at a higher value in the future if the zoning isn’t crystal clear.

Hobbs said to her knowledge, 10 potential buyers have expressed interest in purchasing the property. The heritage designation would only apply to the lawn directly in front

of the Bethany Hope building, Hobbs said, so the land to the east (including a parking lot) right up to the edge of the heritage building could be sold for development.

“They could parcel off a fairly large portion of lane to come closer to the Bethany Hope building,” Hobbs said.

Hobbs is in favour of including the front lawn in the heritage designation because

she said it is just as important as the building itself.

The designation still needs city council’s final approval, and that may not come until after July 9, if the OMB appeal of the community design plan can be resolved before the heritage designation is finalized, Hobbs said. The Salvation Army could still appeal the heritage designation to the OMB separately.

While he emphasized the city would have the final say about a location for a new Ottawa casino, Godfrey said that OLG’s research indicates that the National Capital Region could support two casinos: a new one in Ottawa and Casino Lac-Leamy in Hull.

Touch of sweetness for focaccia bread

Calling on tobacco users: A successful quit attempt could be a phone call away Phone counselling can help keep you smoke-free EMC news - For smokers who are thinking about quitting, there are resources available to help them kick their habit for good. Telephone counselling is one option that can help.

In fact, studies show that smokers who receive phone counselling are more than one and one-half times more likely to stay smoke-free than those who don’t receive counselling.

In Canada, all provinces and territories offer free telephone counselling to smokers. Quitlines provide telephone support from trained responders who can help users develop a personal quit plan, answer any questions

about quitting and help locate quit smoking services in their community. They can also offer information and resources to callers who wish to support someone in the quitting process.

Smokers now need to look no further than their cigarette package for quitline information.

As of June 19, retailers may sell only cigarettes and little cigars featuring new, larger health warning labels.

Each new health warning includes a toll-free quitline number and web address—a first for tobacco health warnings in Canada.

Calling the quitline number (1-866-366-3667) connects callers to free counselling services, while the web address (www.gosmokefree. gc.ca/quit) links users to online resources such as quit smoking information and, in some cases, web-based coun-

selling services.

The new health warnings, developed by Health Canada, include information about diseases recently confirmed to be caused by smoking; facts about the health benefits of quitting; and messages from individuals whose lives have been negatively affected by tobacco use.

Leroy Kehler is one of them. He was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx when he was 48. His vocal cords were removed, and he now breathes through a hole in his throat.

“I wish I had never started smoking,” his message says.

In 2000, Canada was the first country to require graphic health warnings on tobacco packages. Those warnings have played a role in reducing smoking rates, which declined from 24 per cent of the population aged 15 and over in 2000 to an all-time low of 17 per cent in 2010.

The new health warnings aim to build on this success by increasing awareness of the health hazards of tobacco use, and by putting quitline information into the hands of millions of smokers.

W

hen you hear of focaccia bread, you usually think of a bread topped with rosemary or caramelized onions.

Savoury versions such as these are traditional with this popular flat bread.

Focaccia can also be made with sweet ingredients, however, for an entirely different flavour.

Experimenting one day, I decided to add freshly-grated orange rind and raisins directly to the dough while it was being mixed in the bread machine.

Once the dough was shaped into a circle and ready for the oven, I brushed the top with olive oil, then sprinkled it with a bit of sugar.

The focaccia smelled wonderful as it baked and tasted even better.

Focaccia bread is very easy to make using a bread machine to prepare the dough.

ORANGE RAISIN FOCACCIA

• 3/4 cup water • 2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil • 1 tbsp. sugar • 1 tsp. salt

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 2 tbsp. finely-grated fresh orange peel • 1/3 cup raisins • 2 cups flour • 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast TOPPING

• 1-2 tbsp. extra light-tasting olive oil • 2 tsp. white sugar Place all the ingredients (except the ones for the topping) into the bread machine in the order given. Select the “dough” cycle, and start the machine.

When the dough is finished, turn it out on a lightlyfloured surface, then pat it into a circle 30 centimetres in diameter.

Lightly oil a round pizza pan or a cookie sheet. Fold the dough circle in half as you would a pie crust.

Transfer it to the pan, placing the dough so that it

covers one half of the pan.

Unfold the dough to make the full circle.

Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside to rise until doubled. Depending on the warmth of your kitchen, this can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.

With your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the dough.

For the topping, lightly brush the surface of the dough with the one to two tbsp. of light olive oil, then sprinkle with the sugar.

Bake at 400 F (200 C) for 15 to 18 minutes, until the bread is a golden brown.

Transfer the bread to a cake rack to cool slightly before serving.

Cut into wedges, and serve warm. This bread will keep fresh for two to three days wrapped in plastic, but the sugar topping will soften.

Friends of South March Highlands Forest to celebrate national award

Positive Change for Kanata South

Staff

The South March Highlands Conservation Forest recently won the National People’s Choice Award for Public Spaces in the Great Canadian Institute of Planners Places in Canada Contest.

The western-Ottawa forest beat out nearly 100 other entries from across Canada, attracting more than 22,000 votes from Montreal to Victoria and abroad. The South March Highlands nomination also received more than 1,300 Facebook “likes”.

Friends of the South March Highlands are celebrating the win on June 2 with a celebration running from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with parking available at 895 Second Line Rd. at Klondike Road.

Speakers from the City of Ottawa, the Algonquin First Nations and community organizations will speak at the event starting at noon.

For those who haven’t yet discovered the highlands this will be a fun-filled opportunity to do so. Activities include music, children’s workshops, and guided walking and bike tours through the forest, highlighting the spectacular natural features of the area.

The event will feature music by Ottawa rhythm and blues artist Maria Hawkins and children’s activities.

Participants can learn about the irreplaceable value of this urban forest, considered sacred to the Algonquin First Nations. They’ll also learn about the animals and plants that live here, some of which are species at risk.

The South March Highlands is wellknown for its mountain-biking trails, described by B.C.’s Trailpeak.com as “rugged technical mountain biking to rival any great trail in Canada.”

The area also attracts nature lovers, naturalists and birdwatchers, with bald eagles, owls, herons and some 169 other species of birds, including a few rare species at risk.

The area also features large tracts of exposed Canadian Shield, rare sandstone barrens, and lots of fossils for

The South March Highlands Conservation Forest will celebrate an award at an event scheduled for June 2. kids to find.

The Highlands also contain the only two cold water streams left in Ottawa’s Greenbelt, which are needed for certain species of fish to breed and migrate.

Even northern pike have been spotted here, as well as the at-risk American eel and Redhorse fish. turtles

Event-goers may even get a glimpse through their binoculars of one species at risk, Blanding’s turtle, as it lays its eggs predominately during the first week of June. Huge snapping turtles and beautifully coloured painted turtles will be laying their eggs as well.

“Wildlife enthusiasts from across the country voted for the South March Highlands because of the critical habitat it provides for large mammals such as bear, deer and coyotes, while serving as a key wildlife corridor for many other

species,’’ said Donna DuBreuil, president of the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre.

Mitch Brisebois, who nominated the South March Highlands for the contest in January, said he was not surprised the area received so many votes.

He also considers the conservation forest as one part of a larger conservation initiative. ‘‘It’s well-recognized that good planning means protecting environmental spaces, too,” he said. “Of course, I had in mind the entirety of the South March Highlands, including the land north of Beaver Pond, when I sent in my nomination. The conservation forest is a good start, but the South March Highlands won’t survive ecologically if parts are cut out.’’

Opening ceremonies for the celebration start at 9:30am, guided walks leave at 10 a.m. Activities and workshops begin at 11:30am. For more information on the celebratory event, visit www. southmarchhighlands.ca.

With the burst of hot weather in May, garden centers have been very busy with customers looking for hanging baskets and plants to add summer colours to their home’s garden or entrance.

Some people are content to purchase a simple arrangement with a classic look to their planters.

Others are looking for that “wow” factor that makes everyone stop and admire the basket or planter arrangement, and ask “Where did you get that?”

In some cases the planters or hanging baskets have been purchased as ready-to-go arrangements, but many gardeners prefer to experiment with different types of plants and get very creative with both containers and plant materials in order to create an arrangement that generates interest or creates a focal point.

On Tuesday, June 5, the Kanata-March Horticultural Society welcomes Joanne Smith of Brantim Country Gardens who will present “Drama on a Small Scale”, creating container gardens that have a dramatic visual impact.

Smith will present alternative ideas to show members and guests different combinations of plants and tips about how to care for your container plants during the summer season.

A ‘moose’ of a scarecrow

I

t looked like we were going to have a bountiful garden that year. The tomatoes were already high enough to be staked and we were picking away at the bright green lettuce leaves for sandwiches.

It was when the peas and green beans started to sprout that Mother grew concerned that if she didn’t do something fast, the crows, the squirrels and the rabbits would be feeding on them before we did.

It was a problem that had to be discussed with Mrs. Beam. She was the one everyone in the Northcote area went to if the issue couldn’t be handled on their own. She delivered babies and treated all minor illnesses. And she generally could give advice on everything from making soap to who were the best customers when peddling produce in town. Yes, it was time to call on Mrs. Beam.

She came and went right to the garden.

She took one look at what passed for a scarecrow, a slat of wood stuck in the ground with an old plaid shirt of Father’s hanging over it and made clucking noises like a Leghorn hen. “That wouldn’t scare away a hummingbird,” she said.

It was obvious she wasn’t

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories going to leave until a decent scarecrow was in our garden.

She hollered at Everett who was cleaning out the henhouse. She pointed to the drive shed, crooked a finger at Everett and they both headed for the open door where Father kept his tools and odd pieces of wood.

Mrs. Beam pointed to two long pieces two-by-four and ordered Everett to nail them in the shape of a cross. It was so big, I wondered how he was going to get it out of the shed.

But between him and Mrs. Beam, it was lugged over to the garden. On the way out of the drive shed, Mrs. Beam grabbed a shovel and it sure looked like she meant business.

She went right to the centre of the garden. With her right foot jammed onto the shovel she started to dig.

When the hole was deep enough to her liking, she ordered Everett to stand the thing up in the cavity and then she proceeded to anchor

it with the dirt. She gave it a couple of good whacks with the shovel and told Mother to get some of Father’s work clothes out of the house.

“And bring a straw hat too,” she bellowed.

PREPARED

Mrs. Beam was well prepared. She had grabbed a hammer and nails from the drive shed and instead of putting the overalls on the wood frame, she nailed them to the two-by-fours, but the plain shirt was put on the cross bar, the straw hat anchored to the top with more nails and the job was finished. It looked like a 10-foot giant standing in the middle of the garden.

“That should do it,” she said, standing back and planting a gum-rubbered foot right on a patch of green lettuce.

She assured Mother nothing would come near the garden. A scarecrow that size, she said, would scare off a moose.

The day passed. Occasion-

ally I would take a peek out into the garden and it seemed to be working. There wasn’t a bird or rabbit in sight.

Father, who didn’t believe in scarecrows, never said a word other than he hoped Mrs. Beam hadn’t used the good nails he had just bought at Briscoe’s General Store.

The next morning, just after breakfast, I went out to take a look at the scarecrow.

It was still there all right. But on one of the boards representing an arm, there were four crows and on the other outstretched arm a squirrel was eating a belly full of something. I knew not what, but was reasonably sure it came out of the garden.

I ran in the house to tell Mother. She headed for the garden waving a big tea towel in the general direction of the scarecrow.

The birds just looked at her and never moved a muscle until she was almost on top of them. Mother said she thought she should call Mrs. Beam again.

Father said to save her energy. Gardens had been planted on that farm for three generations, and something you just put up with were crows, squirrels and rabbits.

“Mrs. Beam better stay with delivering babies,” he said under his breath.

Home, community care has growing role EMC news - Home and community care currently accounts for approximately five per cent of total health spending in Canada, about a quarter of which is funded from out-of-pocket spending or private insurance.

However, for every hour of paid care that home care recipients receive, at least 10 hours of unpaid care are provided by family, friends and volunteers.

A new Conference Board of Canada report, Home and Community Care in Canada: An Economic Footprint, provides a conservative estimate of the economic impact of the home and community care sector.

“This is the beginning of a dialogue with Canadians. It’s impossible to make informed decisions about home and community care without understanding the significance and impact of the sector on the rest of the healthcare system,” said Judith Shamian, president and CEO of VON Canada.

The conference board estimates that public and private sources spent between $8.9 billion and $10.5 billion in 2010 to support more than 1.3 million Canadians that require some form of assistance to remain in their homes.

Thousands of steps closer to cure for cystic fibrosis More than 10,000 Canadians joined Cystic Fibrosis Canada today in the eighth annual Great Strides walk in 67 locations across the country on Sunday, May 27.

More than 230 participants walked, ran or rolled today at Karters Korner in Stittsville and raised close to $100,000 for CF research and care.

The Great Strides walk is Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s major national fundraiser that takes place every May during Cystic Fibrosis Awareness

Month.

“What a great day for Canadians living with this devastating disease,” said Maureen Adamson, CEO of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. “People from every corner of the country took thousands of steps today in our national Great Strides walk to champion Canadians with cystic fibrosis and help find a cure. Cystic Fibrosis Canada is so grateful – we could not do this without your support.”

During May, Cystic Fibrosis Canada shines the spotlight on Canadians living with cystic

fibrosis to raise awareness and funds. Funds raised by Great Strides walkers and sponsors will be invested in life-saving CF research and treatment to help people with cystic fibrosis live longer, fuller lives.

Since 2004, the Great Strides walk in Canada has raised more than $13 million for Canadians with cystic fibrosis.

“We’re delighted with the turn-out for our Great Strides walk in Ottawa today,” said Lois Graveline, Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s manager, community development.

CAT OF THE WEEK AM I YOUR “DESTINY” ?

“This great community event brought us together to support families in the National Capital Region coping with the challenges of cystic fibrosis.”

Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children

and young adults.

It is a multi-system disease that mainly affects the lungs and the digestive system. Most deaths related to cystic fibrosis are due to lung disease.

Severe respiratory problems result from a build-up of thick mucus in the lungs of CF

patients, where the effects are most devastating.

Mucus and protein also build up in the digestive tract, making it difficult to digest and absorb nutrients from food.

There are 4,000 Canadians living with cystic fibrosis.

Kanata family finds positives after devastating fire Dan Plouffe

EMC news - It started out as pretty much the worst nightmare imaginable.

The Baggios’ Belleview Drive home in Katimavik gone in flames, a short-circuited patio light to blame.

With heavy smoke and water damage, there wasn’t much left besides the clothes on their backs.

But the whole family made it out safely – mom, dad, the 23-year-old twin daughters and their younger 11-year-old sister, plus two pet dogs and a rabbit.

The Baggios have kept a remarkably positive attitude since the mid-April blaze.

They’ve also found plenty

more reasons to be thankful through the devastating circumstances. “It’s been emotionally trying,� acknowledges mother Michelle Baggio. “We did lose mostly everything. But most importantly, nobody was hurt.

It makes you realize how unimportant your material items actually are. “I wouldn’t say we’re materialistic people, but we have pretty much everything we want. When everything is gone, you realize it wasn’t really that important in the first place. You’re not in a hurry to go out and replace it.�

The way the community stepped up to help them out was almost baffling, Baggio recalls. They received jackets,

shoes, toiletries and food immediately.

At Holy Redeemer Catholic School where Sofia Baggio is a Grade 6 student, the family received numerous cards from strangers with gift cards to restaurants. Neighbours took care of their pets. “We were just so grateful,� Michelle said. “We really didn’t know our neighbourhood. Everyone’s lives are so busy and you really think you’re on your own, but when something like this happens, you realize what a wonderful community we do come from. “We had people we didn’t know coming to us and providing support. It was overwhelming and an incredible feeling.

That has really helped us get through this difficult time.�

There were several other uplifting moments to celebrate as well. Throughout the ordeal of recent weeks, Sofia was taking part in the biggest competitions of her gymnastics season.

The fire occurred just days before Sofia was set to compete in the provincial championships in Ottawa at the CE Centre.

Sofia’s Ottawa Gymnastics Centre club immediately rallied to collect money and find her a competition leotard, tracksuits and competitive gear.

Her parents decided they’d stay at a hotel to make it seem like an out-of-town event for the 11-year-old.

Sofia put everything in her mind aside and produced a performance that allowed her to finish above her ranking, landing herself an all-around bronze medal.

She then repeated the allaround bronze medal result two weekends ago in Quebec City for the eastern Canadian championships, where she also helped Ontario win team gold in their category. “I was really surprised, I didn’t expect that was how I was going to place,� says Sofia, who was the eastern Canadian champion in the vault event. “It felt good to be there.

I accomplished a lot this year. I felt proud.�

Tremendous pride is exactly what Sofia’s coach, Tobie Gorman, felt. The veteran coach was especially impressed to see Sofia cheering on all her teammates, although that didn’t come as a big surprise since Sofia is always supporting others and received a club sportsmanship award in backto-back years. “That normally doesn’t happen,� Gorman said. “To handle that upheaval, and for her family to handle it, I don’t know how you do that – that’s such resolve. She’s one special little girl.�

We hope to see you all again for our annual Fall Cleaning the Capital campaign in September 2012.

Emerald Plaza library looks for a new home Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – The only library in Knoxdale-Merivale ward could be on the move.

The Ottawa Public Library’s plan for capital works includes a search for

a new building for the Emerald Plaza branch.

The OPL has tried to acquire more space in the shopping plaza to expand the library but that has proved unsuccessful the library board heard on May

14.

“We never seem to be able to come up with more space in that plaza,” said Richard Stark, manager of facilities planning and development for OPL. “It’s one of our busiest

branches,” he added. “It’s very crowded.”

The library has a fouryear lease at the plaza, so library staff want to begin the search for a new location to move to when that lease runs out.

“We never seem to be able to come up with more space in that plaza.”

RICHARD STARK

The 525-square-metre branch had a circulation of 284,150 items in 2011.

That’s compared to the highest-circulation branch, on Metcalfe Street, which had a circulation of 910,461 items.

So where does one begin?

“Create a checklist for the latest technology in walls, windows, siding, drainage, solar power, water management, ventilation, plumbing, heating and cooling systems,” says Nudura marketing manager, Todd Blyth. “An energy efficient checklist would also include the most insulated building envelope.

For this, concrete, instead of wood, champions them all.

“Wood framing is outdated now,” Blyth continued.

“Concrete, on the other hand, saves the forest, eliminates toxicity, and delivers superior structural, environmental, and human health benefits.

Nudura walls are pre-assembled forms, each one stacked, reinforced, and then filled with concrete. Once locked together (like Lego) the system creates a solid, monolithic wall. This advanced method has shown to

deliver energy savings of up to 70 percent and delivers a building envelope up to three times more sound resistant,

(MS) -- You are in the driver’s seat when it comes to the quality of the features and fixtures in your dream home.

Indeed, building from the ground up is a golden opportunity to create the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly house of a lifetime -- and for those committed, good advice is readily available.

How to choose a builder they might be. * Look for a builder who does more than build. A good builder should do more than just build. A builder should provide a network of qualified professionals to make the process go more smoothly.

This network should include real estate and building consultants, interior designers, architects and engineers. Such connections can provide peace of mind and will also illustrate that a builder is both respected in the community and is intent on ensuring your home becomes the dream home you envision it to be. * Don’t build on the cheap. Buyers who plan to

build their own home are in the unique position to ensure their home is as safe and high-quality as possible.

This isn’t always the case when buying a resale, so make the most of your opportunity and use only topof-the-line construction materials and features and choose a builder with experience in working with such materials and features. Building on the cheap could prove disastrous in the not too distant future, so don’t sacrifice on quality when building a new home.

More information on selecting the right builder is available online at www.pace2000homes.com.

(MS) -- Whether the kids have all grown up and moved out or if the kids are on the way and it’s time to expand a living area, building a new home is an exciting, yet often agonizing, experience. The reasons for building a new home are many, but regardless of the reason, the process of choosing a builder should remain the same.

Andrew Nadalin, president of Pace 2000 Inc. and a fourth generation builder and craftsmen, offers the following advice to prospective homeowners with their eyes set on building a dream home to call their own. * Look for a builder with a solid reputation. A builder’s reputation speaks volumes, but it doesn’t have to speak for istself. That’s because a builder who has spent years providing personal service, innovative design and quality workmanship will no doubt have a host of happy former customers ready and willing to offer their input. If during the interview process a builder appears reticent to share his work or experiences with previous customers, this should be a red flag. Reputable builders will be proud of their work and more than willing to show it off. * Find a builder who is flexible. You will be paying to build your home, not the builder’s home. A builder should be flexible and ready and willing to meet your needs, no matter how unique

Cheap Trick storms into Carp Fair this September Theresa Fritz

Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC events – The band may have been blown away at Ottawa Bluesfest last year but this year, Cheap Trick is going to give the 149th Carp Fair a try.

The ’70s rockers were forced to cancel their show at the outdoor festival last July 17 when a fierce storm blew in, causing their stage to collapse moments after they had left it.

While their equipment was

R0011390941_0510

trashed, and their driver was among three people injured, the band was unhurt.

Having gone through the harrowing situation last summer, the group was somewhat reluctant about returning to the scene of the storm in Ottawa.

But Carp Fair organizers were able to sway them back to a more rural part of the city. “That (coming back to Ottawa) was a bit of hurdle. They didn’t want to play on any stage that resembled Bluesfest,� says fair general manager Joyce Trafford. “Ours is an indoor stage and they were fine with that.�

She admitted having the band perform in Carp “will be huge,� considering they were only 20 minutes into their set at Bluesfest when they forced

off the stage by the storm.

Cheap Trick will perform at a ticketed event at Carp Fair Friday, Sept. 21 at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena.

But, they are not the only act booked for the arena for this year’s fair.

Perennial Valley favourite Gail Gavan & Friends will perform on Thursday, Sept. 20 at the traditional Homecoming night for the fair.

Admission to this show is a twoonie donation with money going to a charity of the fair board’s choosing.

The charity has not yet been announced.

The Sept. 22 Saturday afternoon concert will feature Caroll Baker and George Fox. This show is free with fair gate admission.

Born in Nova Scotia, Baker had her own television series

on CBC in 1983 and also appeared regularly on the Tommy Hunter Show. She was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992.

As for Fox, the Alberta native won three Canadian Country Music Awards for male vocalist of the year and three Juno awards for country male vocalist of the year.

The Saturday evening show is a ticketed event featuring Canadian country trio Doc Walker.

The Juno award-winning band hails from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba and was nominated for 2012 Country Album of the Year for its 2011 release 16&1. The album that includes “Country Girl,� “Do It Right� and their new single “Where I Belong.�

The weekend of Carp Fair

entertainment rounds out on Sunday, Sept. 23, with an afternoon concert by ’80s new wave group Platinum Blonde.

This concert is free with fair gate admission.

Platinum Blonde, let by frontman Mark Holmes, is known for such hits at “Standing the Dark� ‘It Doesn’t Really Matter� and “Crying Over You.�

Trafford said there is some variety in the entertainment, something fair organizers to find each year. “We try to give something to everyone,� Trafford notes.

Tickets for the ticketed shows are expected to go on sale Aug. 7 at the Carp Fair office, located at 3790 Carp Rd. in Carp.

A stitch of comfort for cancer patients Emily Misurec

Every Thursday at senior lunch, a group of dedicated students meet to participate in something a little greater than themselves.

Victoria’s Quilts Canada is a non-profit organization that makes quilts, and donates them to cancer patients across the country.

It was founded in 2000 by Betty Griffin, and has seen major expansion over the past eight years. With over 700 volunteers, and having completed over 13,000 quilts, undeniable progress has been made in soothing victims of this disease.

The organization was brought to All Saints in 2010.

Guidance office administrator Val Forte knew about it

through her own quilting guild, and expressed an interest.

Youth program liaison Kathy Panagapko contacted Forte about establishing a club.

She brought all the needed supplies and equipment, and became the mentor of the group. The club was advertised to the students as a volunteer opportunity, and the response was great.

Over the years that the group has been running at All Saints, a total of 12 quilts have been produced.

“Our quilts have gone as far as the Northwest Territories, and have been as close as a staff member,” says Forte.

The process involved is not difficult.

The group receives pre-

made quilt tops, quilt batting, and flannel backing. It is the job of the volunteers to sandwich all three layers together.

The students use a needle to bring thread through all three layers, and tie a knot. This process is called tying-down, and is done using 100 per cent cotton embroidery thread. No previous sewing experience is required.

Students also receive a chance to express their creativity by choosing colour schemes, and the patterns in which the quilts are tied.

The volunteer group at All Saints has become interested in expanding their contributions. They are slowly learning how to sew, and are working together to make their own quilt tops.

Cancer patients receiving treatment often suffer from chills.

The quilts are convenient because they are portable, and can be brought wherever the patient goes.

The quilts are also an emotional comfort because they are given as gifts.

A loved one of a cancer patient submits a request for a quilt. A check is completed to ensure that the patient has not previously received one.

If not, the request is accepted, and a quilt is made. The quilts are all delivered personally, with a card indicating who requested it.

Cancer is a widespread disease that touches many lives.

Victoria’s Quilts gives volunteers the chance to contrib-

ute to their community, while also working for a cause that is personal and important to them.

“It started out as a volunteer opportunity, but I really like how good it makes me feel,” said volunteer Amber Goveas.

The organization is important to Forte because “(her) mother passed away from cancer, and one in four people suffer from the disease, an overwhelming statistic.”

Volunteering in all forms is beneficial.

But in the case of Victoria’s Quilters, they are lucky enough to contribute to a cause that helps all of society, while still doing something close to their hearts.

Cashier’s grocery store woes Guidelines for being a gracious grocery shopper

ServiNg KaNata North

Meghan Pelley

City Councillor, Kanata North

I’ve been working at a grocery store since I was 15 and I can honestly say I don’t mind my job, but I need to lay out some guidelines for those of you who make me

grind my teeth.

1. Do you want bags?

It’s really a simple question. Yes or no. I will ask if you want your meat separate but I’m not psychic. I don’t

know if you want something double bagged or if you need to have your bananas in their own bag. So don’t bite off my head. Speak up and ask me in a civil tone or do it yourself.

Do you know the code?

Figs, yucca root and okra may take me an actual second to look up but yelling the name and price of the produce isn’t helping anyone.

2. Produce.

I have been eating fruits and vegetables all my life, so yes, I do know what a red delicious apple is. Screaming, “Red delicious apple, $1.10 a pound!” doesn’t help me at all.

3. Paying You’re at the check out, you know you have to pay, why would you not get your money out while you’re waiting in line?

Not only is watching you take out each penny excruciatingly painful and makes me want to drive nails into my head but it also inconveniences the five other people in line.

If you’re going to pay in cash, at least be ready and quick about it. Don’t contemplate for five minutes whether you want to give me two nickels or a dime.

MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN

The Transportation Committee will be approving the strategic approach, scope and timing for the review and update of the Transportation Master Plan (TMP), including the Ottawa Pedestrian Plan and Ottawa Cycling Plan, next week. This will be the start of the review of the transportation component of the Official Plan which is to be finalized by the end of 2013.

The TMP includes the location of both primary and secondary transitways, the O Train, road networks and priorities for construction of new or widened roads, transitway segments, cycling routes and pedestrian sidewalks and paths. Even the timing for building transportation infrastructure that is funded by new development is prioritized, since there is not enough funding to do all needed construction at once.

The public will be able to provide their views and suggestions throughout the process. Projects of importance to Kanata include the timing of construction of the light-rail transit system to the west, the extension of Campeau Drive to Huntmar Drive and connecting cycling routes throughout the City.

At the same meeting, the Committee will receive an interim report on the Western Light Rail Transit Corridor Planning and Environmental Assessment Study. This study is expected to be completed by this time next year and at that time a recommendation will be made for the light rail route from Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline. Construction will depend on the TMP priority setting and obtaining funding.

INTERPROVINCIAL BRIDGE STUDY

Last week the National Capital Commission (NCC) announced the start of Phase 2B to assess the 3 remaining corridors (Kettle Island, Lower Duck Island and Gatineau Airport/McLaurin Bay) for a new bridge across the Ottawa River. A public consultation will occur from 3 pm to 9 pm on June 5 in Gatineau, and on June 12 at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans. Those interested can also complete the Pair-Wise Comparison of Evaluation Factors on www.ncrcrossings.ca by July 5.

FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES (FCM)

I will be attending the FCM Annual Meeting in Saskatoon for the next few days. I’ve been on a number of FCM Committees, including a sub-committee on trade negotiations with Europe, and the conference is a time to share ideas and learn from others.

I’ll share what I learn in future columns.

INFORMATION ITEMS

Give-Away Weekend is this weekend, June 2 - 3. Put unwanted items at the curb with a sign ‘free’ and someone else can give those items a new home.

Zak’s Diner has applied for a liquor license for the restaurant and patio.

Watch for the Motorcycle ride for Dad going along Carling and through the business park the morning of Sat. June 2.

The woman behind the achievement centre Seeing students at their best fuels teacher’s passion Alyssa Coulas

Deanna Tremblay welcomes her Achievement Center students with a smile.

Alyssa Coulas

Imagine having a job that you love more than anything, where you get to help people achieve success on a daily basis.

At the age of three, Deanna Tremblay was playing “schoolhouse” with her little brother, teaching him different lessons as if to be his teacher.

Her greatest inspiration for teaching, she recalls, was her Grade 1 teacher in Winnipeg, who still asks about her.

After a five-year program

at the University of Manitoba and a bachelor’s of education later, Mrs. Tremblay is now the student success teacher at All Saints Catholic High School.

She deals with a variety of issues throughout the day including confidential student issues, trying to help students get back on track, student motivation and disengagement, trying to co-ordinate school board initiatives within the school, and looking at students and trying to make plans that are in their best interest.

There is no such thing as a routine for Mrs. Tremblay, even though she tries to meet with students on a regular basis.

Her job is to track students and to work one-on-one or in a small group to help students to help them get back on track.

SAVE 0531.R0011421243

On top of all the work she does with her students she collaborates with student services and administration and is responsible for a number of student success initiatives.

One period a day she has the Achievement Center, a student success initiative where the school provides programming to students who are needing to accumulate credits, need to graduate and need to meet the target of 16 credits by the age of 16.

She often works with students with unique time table issues or who have a variety of issues or needs such as mental health.

She said what keeps her motivated is seeing her students with smiles on their faces that have met with success.

Tremblay said she loves to see her students graduate, knowing that it is sometimes a hard road but they made it.

She said she’s overwhelmed with pleasure when students who have graduated return to visit her and tell her their accomplishments.

Tremblay said that when she sees students that are being the best they can be and see their passions it makes all the long hours worth it.

Tremblay said the moment she realized she made the right choice about becoming a teacher was when she went back to her reunion and she saw a girl she taught in her early years of teacher.

“When I ran into her I asked her what she was doing and she said she became a teacher because of me,” said Tremblay. “In life you have to do what you love and I love teaching.”

From STITCH, page 29

Going up to accept their prize, the guys beamed, enjoying the limelight and the cheering from screaming fans.

This past summer, Glass Ghost cashed in their winnings of seven hours recording time.

Their first single, Toy Boats, was released on their Facebook page for free download through Soundcloud on Aug. 21.

Proceeds from the event go towards the music department to fund trips such as this year’s New York City trip, buy new music, instruments and equipment.

Always a highlight of the events calendar every year, Battle of the Bands is definitely here to stay.

BotB 2012 is already in its planning stages, and groups are getting ready to shred, blast and belt their way to victory.

It’s quickly revving up to be one awesome year for the All Saints music department.

Falling deeper into a dark place

The increasing number of adolescents seeking care for mental health issues has skyrocketed, but stagnant funding is straining the system Brier Dodge

tion started in January 2011.

First, they went through their own wait-list of clients who wanted access to counselling, before opening up the clinic for others. Originally one day a week, it expanded to two days this past October.

“When they wait, their situation deteriorates,” Gravelle said, of the children and youths. “That helped clients, knowing that when they need service, they could just come by.”

And it’s been what a large percentage of their clients needed.

April 2011 to March 2012 saw 680 clients come to the walk-in – and 67 per cent didn’t need referrals for future services, taking some pressure off CHEO.

Kathy Brunsdon sat by the phone for a week at her Stitsville home, making call after call, concerned about her 15-year-old daughter Hannah.

Daron Richardson, a 14-year-old girl who lived nearby, had recently died of suicide.

And Kathy was concerned that Hannah was displaying the warning signs she was reading about. She already had a psychiatric referral in at CHEO, but hadn’t heard anything back.

“I don’t remember anything,” Hannah, a Canterbury High School student, said about the time. “I felt like I was hovering above myself. It was just a horrible time.”

Kathy waited.

“I hadn’t heard back and Daron Richardon’s suicide happened and I started to panic,” she said. “I tried calling for an entire week, leaving a message every day. I sat right there by the phone. I don’t remember moving from the phone, just waiting and waiting and waiting.”

Since then, mental health services for youth throughout the city have seen a spike in demand. spike

In 2011, CHEO saw 1,479 psychiatric crisis visits to its emergency department, mostly teenagers with depression and anxiety related issues. That’s 50 per cent increase in two years, served by the same 25 beds and staff numbers that the psychiatric ward had in 2009.

CHEO has stated that in Ontario, one in five youth have some type of mental health problem, but only one in six of those get the help they need. That means for every 30 youth in Ontario, five have mental health problems that may go untreated.

Ottawa has seen a swell of awareness in the media and at public events since the high-profile death of Daron Richardson, daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson in November 2010, and Jamie Hubley in October 2011, city councillor Allan Hubley’s son “Certainly in November 2010, over a couple of week period of time we saw this remarkable increase,” said Dr. Hazen Gandy, director of child and adolescent mental health services at CHEO. “We expected the volume of business to return to the consistent level, but it’s continued since then.”

It’s a cause and effect that has spiralled out of control, leading youth and parents alike through traumatizing months on a waitlist before they can get treatment.

‘bumpy ride’

Hannah, left, and Kathy Brunsdon were thrown into a complicated youth mental health system when Hannah, now 16, was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2010. The Brunsdons were put on a waiting list in 2009 around the time of Daron Richardon’s death – a time period that saw a spike in demand for youth mental health services. other hospitals is hard – children’s hospitals vary significant in catchment area and size, and the detailed mental health statistics only began to be released in 2011.

But CHEO had more than 1,400 visits to the emergency room for mental health issues in 2011, the greatest number in the province.

The second-highest demand in Ontario was at the Children’s Hospital at the London Health Sciences Centre with 845. The third, Lakeridge

I’m trying to make things better and I can’t because there’s nobody to help me, nobody to guide me.”

Kathy Brunsdon

Health Corporation, saw 625.

Gandy said overall emergency room visits have gone up, but the increase in mental health visits exceeds the overall increase.

“There are other places seeing a fairly significant increase, so I don’t think we’re alone,” he said. “But certainly in eastern Ontario, we’re seeing substantial increases.”

The youth psychiatry program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre serves referrals for 16 to 18years-old from CHEO’s emergency room, so the demand has hit the program just as hard.

“We started seeing some increase at the end of 2009, but there has

been a big surge since Daron Richardson, and then that was followed

by Jamie Hubley,” said Dr. Smitta Thatte, youth psychiatry clinical director. “And it hasn’t stopped.”

In 2009, Thatte said the department had 10 to 12 referrals a month – today, they see 25 to 30 youths a month.

“Definitely more than a two-fold increase in referrals,” Thatte said.

“There is always somebody waiting.”

Campaigns like Do it For Daron – an awareness campaign for recognizing mental illness and reducing stigma – has helped identify many more youth who can benefit from help.

“You’re told that it will be nine months (on the waitlist),” said Kathy. “And OK, but someone just died. And supposedly the parents didn’t know at all, there were no cues. And here I am, and I’m trying to make things better and I can’t because there’s nobody to help me, nobody to guide me.”

Gandy said he hasn’t seen an increase of parents crying wolf, and CHEO truly is seeing more patients who have significant mental health issues coming forward.

“When they said that I must have a mental illness, it was right around the time they started Do it For Daron,” Hannah said. “So that was a huge part of my story, being able to realize, and realize that it’s OK. And to realize I needed to get help before it turned into something that I wasn’t able to be in control of.”

It’s an increase that has forced

every mental health organization in Ottawa to respond and make changes in the way they offer services, including permanent changes to their day-to-day operations.

CHEO has stopped taking any elective cases, meaning waitlists for services to support children with ADHD or anxiety disorders have been stretched even further. more workers

They’ve hired more crisis workers to cover evenings and weekends and have asked other partners, like family physicians, to provide more mental health care.

“We’ve really shifted our resources for acute care, and that’s allowed us to manage the trends,” Gandy said. “It’s robbing Peter to Paul. It’s not like we’re adding new resources.”

The Youth Services Bureau (YSB) has been one of the partners to step up to try and fill the gap.

Francine Gravelle, director of mental health services at the YSB, has responded with a walk-in clinic that can help before youths get treatment somewhere like CHEO. “A five month waitlist (at the Royal or CHEO) isn’t realistic,” Gravelle said. “Not all should be waiting when a few (counselling) sessions can provide them with the support they need.”

YSB runs a variety of mental health services, including shortterm and long-term counselling, but the walk-in clinic, held twice a week at their Carling Avenue loca-

“As one parent said, it’s a bumpy ride,” Gravelle said. The walk-in clinic provides a buffer zone for clients in the grey area between incrisis and at risk of suicide.

Seeking treatment for youth mental health can be tough.

“I think this is a great time to be looking at how the different groups and agencies can partner together, and there are solutions,” Gandy said.

Resources can be funded through the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, or Ministry of Children and Youth Services. YSB is funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, while CHEO gets funding through the Ministry of Health.

“This whole system is somewhat fragmented,” said Thatte. “So really the parents and the patients don’t know which door to go in, and many times they are referred to different places.”

The consensus is that a better network of services needs to be formed to support one another, and to provide integrated care.

“The reality is, the system is complicated. It has silos, it’s not easy to navigate,” Gandy said.

“How do all these agencies begin to talk to each other to make it easier to get the right service at the right time?”

And for Hannah and Kathy, a mother and daughter who spent hours researching and studying the course of treatment, they would like to see prevention taught earlier.

Hannah ended up on a ninemonth waitlist for CHEO and eventually, after insurance covered some private treatment, was able to get help at the Royal, which had a shorter waitlist. She participates in YouthNet at CHEO, a support group that doesn’t require a doctor’s referral, and runs a gender-specific group session, as well as organizing therapeutic arts and recreation activities.

Faith, talent and academics shine at All Saints Arielle Follett

Faith, talent and academics – these are the foundations for an All Saints student. But of course, some just can’t help but shine brighter than others.

“Faith isn’t about wearing ‘I have faith.’ on your forehead,” Mariann Jajo-Yacoub, a Grade 11 student, said with a chuckle. “People seem to think that faith is rare because they aren’t looking. So many incredible things and amazing people go unnoticed.”

Jajo-Yacoub is known in the All Saints community for her unwavering belief in God. She participates in the HOPE

team as well as attending morning prayers within the school. Outside of school, Jajo-Yacoub is a member of the Catholic Christian Outreach program (CCO).

“The goal is to enrich young students deeper in the faith,” she briefs. “CCO is also for anybody who wants to get to know the Lord, is just starting out, or even just looking for answers. They’re devoted to evangelization.”

Jajo-Yacoub strongly believes in the power of Christ and his ability to motivate, and she believes that others should embrace this strength.

Jajo-Yacoub believes this strength can only be found through God. “Basically, it’s in living a life of faith that you bring others to do so,” she said. “That takes care of reflecting your faith onto the world and of bring others to do so.”

Sarah Hearn, also a Grade 11 student, agrees.

“Talent is something we give to the world,” Hearn says with a smile.

“And it’s really important that people find their talent.

I think that by exhibiting my own talents, I’m inspiring someone else to go out and

find theirs.”

Hearn participates in All Saints musical theatre and production programs and is also a Cappies critic. These extra-curricular activities are what taught her that everybody has talent in them.

“Everyone has something in them that makes them shine,” she smiles. “Not everyone realizes that but they need to.”

The highlights of these programs are also the highlights of Hearn’s high school career, highlights that she shares with an entire group of people.

Hearn believes that being a

part of these programs played an integral role in shaping who she is today.

“It teaches you time management and it makes your realize that your actions affect everyone else,” she says.

“Plus, you create such strong bonds. You make the kind of friends that you’re going to hold dear for the rest of your life.”

Jennifer Ham says the same for her own extra-curricular participation.

“I think it’s really important to be involved in your school,” Ham says. “It helped me learn about the voices of my own school.”

And knowing those voices definitely helped when Ham was elected as student trustee for the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

Student trustees hold the responsibility of representing not just their grade, or even their school, but their entire school board. There are only two picked for every school board and it is a very big honour.

“It was such a great experience,” Ham sighs with nostalgia. “I was so fortunate to have this position.”

Student trustee isn’t Ham’s only responsibility, however.

Ham is also a grade rep,

a member of the HOPE and ACT team. Ham plays on the school’s tennis, volleyball and badminton teams as well as participating in the peer pal program and playing piano for many school clubs.

Most kids would consider all this to be too much and use it as an excuse to let their grades slip, but not Ham. Ham juggles all these activities while still managing a mid-nineties average, a goal achieved by only a select few.

“You just have to know how to prioritize,” Ham explains.

Some may even begin to resent all the work that they do, wishing for a more active social life or better grades, but Ham feels that all the work she does is worth it.

“It’s very rewarding,” she grins. “I wasn’t involved at all in Grade 9 and 10, but now I’ve discovered that I really love being involved in my school. I think it’s made me a better person.”

This being said, Ham says you have to watch yourself.

“Know your limits,” she warns. “If you realize you can’t handle it all, then you’ve gotta let something go. Nobody’s perfect.”

No student is perfect – but these kids are pretty darn close.

But she thinks that getting to that breaking point where she couldn’t bring herself to get out of bed in the morning – days she can’t even remember – wouldn’t have happened if she had been taught coping strategies in school from an early age.

“You don’t just wake up one morning and you’re feeling suicidal. You wake up each morning just feeling a bit worse,” Hannah said. “So I think we need more of what we have. A YouthNet here, YSB centres, walk-in centres in different places.”

Gandy said with more resources, not only could youth who haven’t been admitted be treated, but those who are high-risk patients could potentially be discharged sooner.

And fundraising for awareness shouldn’t shift focus, Thatte said.

But she said they remain hopeful that increased awareness in the community will result in pressure on the government to increase resources.

At CHEO, they’ve made almost all the changes they can with the resources they have.

But staff are still anxious about future growth, as they expect numbers to continue to rise.

“Certainly if it continues to increase at the rate that we’ve seen, it’s not going to be sustainable for us,” said Gandy.

School improv team causes a scene Jacob MacLeod

“We have come together in the spirit of loving competition to celebrate the Canadian Improv Games…”

And so began the Canadian Improv Games with its oath, chanted by an audience of more than 150 people, and six teams from high schools across Canada.

“That’s exactly what improv is, loving competition,” said Serena Chapin, member of the All Saints improv A team.

In this 35th anniversary season, 20 teams, consisting of eight students, from coast to coast competed in the preliminary round for a chance to play in the national finals, but only five can proceed.

This year, history was made as six teams qualified to national finals including All Saints Catholic High School.

This hasn’t happened in over 16 years, proving competition to be tougher than ever.

The teams have competed in many regional competitions, training and preparing themselves for this eventful night.

Improvisation is performing a scene from a simple suggestion without prior preparation. This may seem easy enough for one person to do, but imagine doing it on stage

Rich Rebellion rises to new heights after recent successes Zach Sullivan

Maybe it’s their youthful enthusiasm, or perhaps its the product of multiple musical upbringings coming together.

Then again, it could just be natural talent, but regardless of what it is driving Rich Rebellion, it seems to be delivering success.

Recently dominating at All Saints’ Battle of the Bands, their effective mix of strong vocals and disciplined instrumentals has secured them several hours of recording time in the studio.

Vocalist Michael Zadra, guitarists Evan Swire and Ryan Daly, bassist Marty Perron, and drummer Ryan Bochert, all 18 years old, talk like they have a knowledge of music years beyond their teenage years.

Their origins as a functioning group are typical of any high school alternative rock band.

“Basically, Evan and I came to the conclusion that with our shared love of guitar we had to start playing together,” said Daly. “We eventually started jamming alongside his drummer buddy Ryan Bochert, and after playing together for a while we discovered singer Mike Zadra, and became familiar with our bassist Marty Perron.”

“I was really surprised with how well we meshed once we reached our status as a fiveman act,” said Swire. “After a few sessions I was convinced of our strength, and was ready to tell all my buddies that we were officially a band.”

Such a meteoric rise may be cause of surprise to some observers, considering the relative newcomer status granted to some of the band’s members.

While Swire, Daly and Bochert are all veterans of their respective instruments, Perron didn’t break from piano to start playing bass until a little over a year ago, while Zadra began experimenting with vocals only last fall.

Perron agreed.

“It’s really something, and goes to show how far diligent practice can take you in just a short time.”

With several of their singles familiar to their avid followers, they waste no time describing their sound. “We’re definitely a blend of several areas of rock and roll. We take cue from a lot of classic rock, and we try to bend it with some more modern funky, stuff” explains Swire, “We’re certainly open

to different musical ideas.”

Those unfamiliar with Rich Rebellion’s act may not have to wait long to hear their lyrics, as the beginnings of a new album are under development.

Several of the bands members have hinted towards recording over the summer, while Perron has entertained the idea of distributing their sound to several radio stations.

“Whatever they do, I’ll be listening to their material as soon as possible, I know these guys and would like to see them go as far as they can” says Adam Elliot, a local fan and diabetic activist, whose cause has inspired a single that is in the works. “From a creative standpoint, writing unique stuff is obviously difficult, but seeing how far we’ve come so far, I’m convinced we’ll succeed” said Daly.

In the eyes of their fans, they’ve already done just that.

showcase various performing arts skills.

A panel of judges scores each teams performance in each event, and at the end of the night the scores are determine a victor.

The games aim to provide an exciting environment for teenagers to express their artistic talents in fun way.

“Prior to every competition, we are encouraged to just have the time of our

lives, and embrace the amazing opportunity presented,” said Daniel Martin, member of All Saints’ improv A team. “I know that every time I leave the stage, I can’t stop smiling and thinking of how proud I’m of everyone on my team. Every team was amazing. Every scene was consistent with quality, and there was definitely no clear winners,” said Shayne, member of the All Saints Improv A team.

The six high school teams to advance were All Saints, Canterbury, Kelvin, Kitsilano, Milton District, and Templeton. All Saints came out strong and finished in fifth, with Milton District winning the night.

“The (Canadian Improv Games) were good at what they do because no matter what place any team got in, everyone was standing on stage laughing or pouring tears of joy,” said Wyatt Lang, member of the All Saints Improv A team.

The Canadian Improv Games is a tournament that essentially forms a community of teenagers, encouraging all to co-operate with each other “and, above all, to have a good time.”

Rebels Ready for Battle Catherine Dobrowolskyj

Blinding lights, distant chants, the smell of adrenaline is almost palpable.

On April 12, five bands competed for several prizes, the most coveted being recording hours at Raven Street Studios. Although the gender diversity could have been a little more balanced, the judging was nothing but fair. It was apparent that all of the bands were prepared and weren’t about to take this opportunity for granted.

No doubt this kind of event takes a lot of hard work and commitment, especially from the bands members themselves. Rich Rebellion managed to demonstrate their dedication to their music and pulled through to obtain the sought-after title of winner.

“We had a few events before the show, but it was the three weeks before Battle of the Bands that we really practiced the most,” said winningband member, Evan Swire.

“Around 21e days straight,” added member Marty Perron.

That’s not the only time that went into this event.

An estimated 45 hours of organization, setting up, taking down, rearranging, stressing, sweating and the occasional mental breakdown were all incorporated into the event to make it as great as possible.

“We appreciate all of the volunteers that were able to make this year’s Battle of the Bands better than the past

years,” says Swire.

From the front rows of the crowd, the technical aspect of the show was much appreciated by the viewers.

“It was great,” says All Saints student, Meghan Pelley. “The lighting added to the whole rock star effect for the show.”

So did the moment of truth finally pay off for Rich Rebellion?

Well, you’ll just have to ask the members themselves after they finish using their prize recording hours in the studio.

Student powerhouse: Jennifer Ham Well-rounded rep is the voice of students as trustee Emily Misurec

All schools seem to have those “it kids”.

These are the students who are involved in every extracurricular known to man, while still maintaining a sky-high grade average.

Grade 11 student Jennifer Ham is a perfect example.

But her incredible modesty, compassion and kindness hold her in a manner that makes her relatable to all students.

Ham holds the prestigious position of student trustee.

In addition, she is involved in ACT Team, HOPE Team, peer pal program, and Speak Up in a Box. She plays piano for the school musical, liturgy choir, glee club, and a few other vocal groups.

Jennifer Ham

Grade 11 student Jennifer Ham holds the prestigious position of student trustee, and represents the voice of students all over the school board.

Ham also plays on the tennis team, senior girl’s volleyball team, and senior badminton team.

Ham introduced the idea of student grade reps to student council, and is a rep for Grade 11.

All the while, Ham is able to boast a mid-90s average.

While most people would cringe at the thought of hav-

ing so much responsibility, Ham thrives on it.

She said she feels like she is involved, and contributing to the school community.

Ham “encourages people to get involved because you learn and grow so much from it.”

Ham represents the voice of more than 20,000 students.

She sits on board committees, lead meetings with copresidents, and meets with other student trustees from different boards across Ontario to show the student’s perspective, and to improve the school board.

The position came to Ham as if by fate.

A teacher approached Ham, and asked her if she would be interested in running for the position.

She had never heard of a student trustee before, but she agreed.

She had been searching for a leadership role.

“I thought it would be a fantastic, unforgettable learning experience and I was right. I grew so much as a person and I have loved every moment of it.”

Ham has high ambitions

for the future.

She plans to major in a science at University of Ottawa, and eventually attended medical school.

Ham said her ultimate goal is to become a doctor.

This career path appeals to Ham because she loves to help people. In fact, helping people has always been a passion of hers.

As a child, Jen loved to help teachers put up posters, run errands, and would stay in at recess to help out.

She obtained her NLS and standard first aid so she would know what to do if someone ever got hurt. This lifelong passion is something Ham craves for the future.

“Getting the chance to help people who are hurting get better would be something that would motivate me to get out of bed each morning and go to work happy.”

Ham demonstrates all the qualities of an all-star student.

But she still has a compassionate, down-to-earth nature that makes her irresistible.

When it comes to stars, it is hard to find one that shines as bright as Ham.

All Saints student a blossoming singing star Catherine Dobrowolskyj

Freddie Mercury, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder are all famous names in the history of music.

All Saints student, Dana Swarbrick, will be among them one day.

This singer/songwriter has

been involved in her school’s music department since she first arrived.

Her early years involved participating in the school band program but the commitment slowly increased as she joined Bluesettes in late 2008.

“At the time, Bluesettes was a small group of girls singing in five-part harmony,” says Swarbrick. That was enough to spark her interest.

Throughout the years, the group dynamics have changed as members came and went, but Swarbrick’s participation

has remained constant.

The whole group has formed a family bond.

“The more you grow as a musician, the more you grow as a person.”

It seems only fitting that music is one of the most important elements in Dana Swarbrick’s life.

Swarbrick’s father encouraged her interest in music.

“My dad got me started with music; he bought me my first guitar,” she said.

Swarbrick said was inspired by a video that refers to hacking the human brain.

By: Your local Family Physiotherapy Team Second only to the common cold for being the most frequent cause of time off work, back pain always seems to be lurking around the corner. 85% of adults between the ages of 30 and 65 will have back pain at some point in their lives that will cause them to seek advice from a health care provider.

The most common causes of low back pain include: 1) Lumbar strain/sprains 2) Disc herniations (discs act as cushions and shock absorbers between each individual vertebrae) Strains and sprainsoccur when either muscles or ligaments abnormally stretch

or tear. A disc herniation is when a disc ‘bulges’ out from between vertebrae and put pressure on the spinal nerves and cord. Symptoms of a disc bulge with nerve compression may include sharp shooting pain, numbness, tingling,and weakness into the legs. Both injuries are likely to occur as a result of over use, poor conditioning, and improper body mechanics while lifting and stressing the spine.

Most episodes of back pain last a few days and are resolved within a few weeks.

The first 1-2 days are the most painful and it is recommended to have your back evaluated by a healthcare practitioner.

She said she is fascinated by the fact that “every audience across the world is united by an innate understanding of the major pentatonic scale.”

This means that on the major scale of five notes, everyone is able to anticipate notes from the scale without really thinking about it.

It seems perfect then to know that this talent is heading off to McMaster University to pursue a career in music cognition.

“I love the brain, I love sciences and I love music,” this combination is genius for the

passions of Dana Swarbrick.

Not only is this future superstar involved in Bluesettes, but she is part of many schoolrelated activities such as the student music council, the All Saints improv B team, she starred in this year’s production of Xanadu and she somehow manages to maintain her academics.

“You really need to prioritize. Sometimes, I realize that my priorities are out of line and I have to rearrange them,” says Swarbrick. “You need to be very committed, talent comes second.”

Locked into prom Meghan Pelley

Sarah Maritan recently embarked on a trip to Vimy Ridge in early April expecting to commemorate the soldiers, little knowing that the experience would be more about making memories then remembering.

While the trip was meant to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the group spent one of the days visiting Paris.

During the tour they crossed the Pont de L’Archevêché, which is colloquially referred to as the Lock Bridge.

According to legend, if a couple goes onto the bridge and attaches a padlock with their name inscribed on it,

then throw the key into the river, their love will remain eternal.

Maritan has been obsessed with the bridge for years so when her boyfriend, Joe Willemsen, handed her a lock with ‘Sarah+Joe’ written on it she was ecstatic.

“Joe told me to turn over the lock. On the back, it said ‘Prom?’ Of course I said yes!”

Maritan said.

The unexpectedness of the “promposal” added to the perfectness of the moment for Maritan.

“I had my suspicions that (Joe) would do something while we were on this trip, being in Paris and all. Though I in no way imagined it to have

been the way it was – it exceeded every teenage girl’s dream.”

Maritan now has a key that hangs from a necklace that she wears daily. It matches the one thrown into the river as well as one Willemsen carries.

“I love having a physical thing to remember (the promposal). The lock and key was absolutely perfect; couldn’t have imagined anything else.”

Maritan plays with the key in her fingers.

Ever since childhood, Maritan couldn’t wait until her senior year.

She loves seeing the sweet gestures that even the toughest of boys will do to get their

The teen without limits Most people can say that high school is some of the best years of their life.

For 17- year-old Evan Swire, high school has been the busiest years of his life.

And yet, he couldn’t be happier.

Swire is a tremendous athlete, musician, and student.

For him, high school is where his dreams of becoming a professional athlete or

musician come to life.

An ordinary day for the young teen gives him little to no freedom to watch television or sit on the computer, unlike most high school students.

Swire works at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata, teaching young kids how to play hockey, a sport he plays competitively.

He also coaches football and has logged over 600 volunteer hours in the process.

Additionally, he is the goaltender for All Saints Catholic High School’s varsity lacrosse team and commissioner for the intramural dodgeball, so he rarely sees a day without physical activity.

“I love playing all sports,” he comments. “It’s where I get to have the most fun, and it’s where I have met a lot of my best friends.”

In his senior high school years, Swire has taken up not

Maritan knew that she and Willemsen would go to prom together but he fact that he went out of his way to put effort into making her feel spe-

He is currently the lead guitarist and back up vocalist for Rich Rebellion, a band that has grabbed the attention of many locals and Evan’s peers.

Recently, the band won an All Saints’ competition entitled Battle of the Bands, where amateur artists would show off their talent and love for music.

Swire works around the clock for his music career, playing guitar for at least an hour a day and singing in the weekly Bluesettes club after

school, but he knows his hard work will eventually pay off.

“It takes up a lot of time to practice this much,” says Swire. “But it’s not wasted time.”

Swire also proves his work ethic with his marks. Currently, his average sits at an 85, an impressive number considering how little time he has to do school work. And yet, the young teen still tries to strive for more.

“My average could be higher, but unfortunately studies suffer when you have a lot going on.”

Next year, he plans to attend Acadia University with a major in kinesiology. Swire said he wants to become a physiotherapist, a job that is often connected to sports and athletics.

Free time is something he rarely experiences, but he is an example of how hard work pays off.

And although he said high school has proven to be the most difficult time in his life, Swire’s positive attitude is one that will undoubtedly give him one of the best futures a high school student can ask for.

New sport increases school spirit Kevin Murphy

Dodge, duck, dip, dive… and dodge – the rules that can only be applied to one sport; dodgeball.

Dodgeball has become a popular sport in the intramural world of All Saints Catholic High School. The game only became part of the school in 2010, but it has grown to be much more popular in the student life today.

The All Saints Dodgeball Association (ASDA) decided to expand to all high school grades this year, a step up from its last year when only senior grades could participate. The game has proven to evolve into a school-wide event, where teams play competitively while other students watch the intensity with admiration. The 2011-12 year brought in a total of 14 teams from all ages, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

“I enjoyed playing last year, and I wanted to see it thrive,” said Evan Swire, ASDA commissioner. “I’m happy it is taken seriously because that’s what makes the game more fun.”

Almost all 14 teams use uniforms to show their spirit, and cheers to show their passion. Additionally, the ASDA showed more spirit by having

But the dodgeball fury hasn’t ended yet for these high school students.

For All Saints students, the month of May features a buyout day where they can watch a student teacher hockey game, high school basketball game, and possibly a series of dodgeball games. the dodgeball buyout day would consist of a Grade 9 game, a student versus teacher game, an all woman game, and much more.

Overall, it will become a great way for students to build even more school spirit.

Juan Serna, a member of the league championship team called Charlie Sheen’s Tiger Squad thinks the sport will become a tradition in the coming years for the young school.

“It was so fun to be a part of,” he said. “With the amount of passion and interest that the sport brought this year, there’s no way it will die anytime soon.”

All Saints has grown and sustained several traditions over the past decade.

Dodgeball has already begun to get students more involved while bringing them closer together in the world of intramural sport.

Ontario’s Minister of Transport Bob Chiarelli announces a $79-million investment in bridge and road projects in the City of Ottawa for this year’s construction season.

Big boost to roads and bridge construction investment: Chiarelli Province to spend $79-million in Ottawa in 2012 Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

The Ontario Ministry of Transport has announced it will invest $79-million in highway-widening projects and bridge work in Ottawa this year.

Ontario is investing $2.4 billion in road and bridge construction projects across the province this year, said Minister of Transport Bob Chiarelli during a press conference held in Kanata on Friday, May 25.

“Our government is improving infrastructure across the province, while creating jobs and strengthening our R0011422172

economy,” said Chiarelli, MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean.

The investment is expected to create 2,700 jobs in eastern Ontario during the construction season.

Highway improvements announced in Ottawa include: • Widening Highway 417 from Nicholas Street to Ottawa Road 174, expected to be complete in 2014 • Widening Highway 417 from Eagleson Road to Highway 7, including high occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction from Moodie Drive to Palladium Drive, expected to be complete in 2014.

• Advance pier work on the Hurdman Bridge over the Rideau River, expected to finish by the end of this year, to prepare for the work on Highway 417 in the city’s east end.

• Replacing the Carling Avenue westbound and Kirk-

wood Avenue bridges, expected to finish at the end of 2013.

The $79-million investment is for all road construction in the Ottawa area this year, including the four announced projects, said a ministry spokesperson.

“There’s never in the history of Ottawa been that intensity of highway construction, in bridge construction,” said Chiarelli.

The construction work will help loosen congestion for commuters on Highway 417, said Chiarelli.

“It makes life more enjoyable for people not to have to wait in those traffic jams,” he said.

The Ontario government is investing $12.9 billion in infrastructure projects this year, the second-highest amount in provincial history, said Chiarelli.

Ottawa Race Weekend draws thousands Emma Jackson

Orillia, Ont’s Lisa Avery grabs her drink at the 33kilometre mark of Sunday’s maraton. She was the first Canadian woman to cross the finish line, posting a time of 2:42:49.7.

EMC sports - Thousands of athletes flocked to the city last weekend to take part in Ottawa Race Weekend Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27.

Saturday’s events included two-kilometre, five-kilometre and 10-kilometre races, with nearly 20,000 participants alone that day.

Another 9,900 took part in the half marathon, and more than 4,300 ran the 42.2 kilometre marathon that wound through the more scenic areas of Ottawa and Gatineau on Sunday morning. The weekend also included a half-marathon walk, a marathon walk, a wheelchair marathon and a kids’ marathon.

The top three marathon

winners were all Kenyan men who travelled to Ottawa to enter the race.

The first Canadian to cross the finish line was Rejean Chiasson from Toronto, in 12th place. The first Ottawa resident to finish the marathon was Pascal Renard in 26th place.

Thousands of volunteers manned water and nutrition stations, directed traffic away from routes and ran a recovery area for finished runners.

Spectators also came out in droves. Even along the quiet side streets that kept runners out of Ottawa’s busier commercial strips, residents lined up with drums, bells, signs and cheers – even offering the occasional high five – to help the athletes meet their goals.

Mayor’s plan to review council size rejected Fifteen oppose motion, many citing planned 2015 ward evaluation Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A fight to shrink city council may not be over yet.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who committed to cutting council seats during the 2010 municipal election, said a 15-9 council vote doesn’t spell the end of a movement to reduce how many wards represent the citizens of Ottawa.

Council voted against Mayor Jim Watson’s proposal to review the option of reducing the size of city council during a May 23 meeting. “(There are) other ways in which a boundary review can

be initiated,” Blais said. “Certainly a council vote isn’t the only way,” he said, referring to a provision that kicks off a ward boundary review if a petition with 500 signatures is submitted to the city.

Blais had drafted a motion to kick off the ward review and was ready to give notice to council on May 23, but the mayor’s office requested he hold back, Blais said.

Bringing the proposal forward in a different way could have led to a different outcome, Blais said.

“I think we could have finessed the support,” Blais said.

That comment came af-

ter Mayor Jim Watson, who made a similar promise to cut costs by axing four to six seats from the 23-person city council, lost his hurried bid to look at that possibility.

City councillors voted 159 against getting options for a study looking at reducing the number of wards and city councillors in Ottawa, which the mayor said could save the city $2 million every year.

While a leaner council was alluded to during the election, the mayor has stayed mostly mum on the idea until his monthly online “Ask Jim” chat on May 17.

After responding to a resident’s question about his promise to reduce council’s size, the idea picked up steam.

On Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., Watson sent a memo to councillors informing them that he

Following up on a campaign promise, Mayor Jim Watson made a motion at a May 23 council meeting to review the option of reducing the size of city council. would ask for council’s rules to be waived the next day so councillors could discuss and vote on whether to study the possibility of reducing the number of city wards and councillors.

Watson said he knew the issue would be divisive and personal to councillors.

“It’s a bit like when you’re asked to vote on your own salary,” Watson said.

“It’s a bit uncomfortable,” he added, asking councillors to “put that aside” for the debate.

Councillors were concerned about the estimated $250,000 cost for the ward boundary

review and said that there are more important issues facing the city right now, including the Lansdowne Park redevelopment and the upcoming light-rail transit system.

The 15 councillors who voted against the idea said residents are not clamoring for the change. KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli said he has not received one call or email asking for the change, and the only comment he received in person was that reducing council’s size is “easy and catches the public’s attention, but it has no effect.”

Councillors agreed, saying any savings would be clawed back because councillors would require more staff to keep up with the increased workload, or there would be more pressure on the city’s bureaucracy.

The functionality of city council depends more on how well the councillors work together than their number, said West Carleton-March Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry.

“I don’t want to see our staff time wasted on this review,” he said. “It’s not about rural, suburban and urban anymore … It’s time for us to work together.”

Going ahead with the review would have exacerbated that urban-suburban-rural divide, said Capital Coun. Da-

vid Chernushenko. “(It would) end up pitting councillors against councillors and neighbourhoods against each other,” Chernushenko said.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt, one of the most outspoken opponents to the mayor’s idea, said shrinking council could reduce representation in the rural areas.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun.

Tim Tierney worried about the impact on francophone language and culture promotion if there were fewer French school board trustees, since school board zones would be reduced as a result of limiting the number of city wards.

While Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said her ward “could benefit with some tweaking around the edges,” she said that wasn’t worth $250,000, and certainly not when a review is already scheduled for 2015.

Even councillors who supported the idea during the election, including Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor, said the rushed way it was brought directly to city council turned him off the concept.

Taylor said he “notionally supports” the idea of making council leaner, but “not at this time and in this way,” he said, adding that he doesn’t see a compelling reason to push the review up from 2015.

MacLaren calls for probe into Presto deal Transporation minister Chiarelli says west-end MPP is ‘ill-informed’ Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The auditor general should investigate provincial “threats” of withheld gas-tax money that led Ottawa to choose the Presto transit-fare system, says Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren.

On May 22, MacLaren sent a letter to the provincial

auditor general requesting a review of Ottawa’s “solesource” contract with Presto, a smartcard fare payment system set to launch in Ottawa on July 1.

The cards are already in use in the Greater Toronto Area.

“It seems that the province threatened to withhold provincial gas tax funding if the city didn’t award the transit

payment system contract to Presto,” MacLaren’s May 24 press release states.

In an interview, MacLaren said it is not appropriate for the province to require cities to adopt the Presto system in order to gain access to gas-tax money.

“We want oversight and accountability,” MacLaren said.

“It eliminates the opportunity

to tender and get a competitive bidding system.”

MacLaren wondered why Ottawa didn’t pursue a smartcard payment system used by the City of Gatineau provided

by ACS, a division of Xerox.

While MacLaren’s call for a provincial audit focuses specifically on Ottawa, he said, “We know the same troubles are going on in other areas.”

Ottawa has had a partnership with Presto since 2007.

That pre-dates the provincial government’s gas tax program, making MacLaren’s argument irrelevant, said Liberal Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, the minister of transportation.

The gas-tax requirement isn’t unique to Ottawa, Chiarelli said – all 13 Ontario municipalities that use Presto have that clause. Conditions on receiving funding are common at both the federal and provincial levels, he added.

Chiarelli said these questions came up in the media and at Queen’s Park years and months ago.

“It is an old issue … we dealt with it,” the minister said. “(MacLaren) might not be aware of the facts that were made available,” Chiarelli

“The Presto procurement was open, transparent and competitive,” Chiarelli said.

Presto is overseen by Metrolinx, a Crown agency that co-ordinates transit initiatives in the GTA and Hamilton.

So far, the province has invested $163 million into the Presto system. Ontario has committed to paying onethird of the capital costs for municipalities like Ottawa to set up a Presto system.

said, adding that MacLaren was “being really political” about the issue.

Presto is an Ontario government initiative “born out of recognition of a need for a cost efficient, consumer focused transit e-fare system,” according to an independent procurement review.

That review, conducted in February of this year by former Ontario Supreme Court Justice the Coulter Osborne, states that in 2004, technology firm Accenture was awarded the contract to provide services and equipment for the

Wood-burning furnace rules miss mark: residents As city crafts rules for popular rural systems, some say boilers aren’t problem Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa doesn’t have its new rules for wood-burning furnaces quite right – yet.

That was the message from both, owners of the heatproducing boilers and neighbours perturbed by the smoke the devices spew onto their properties. Approximately 20 people gathered at the old Goulbourn town hall on May

23 to hear about new zoning rules aimed at providing some regulation for outdoor wood burning boilers, also known as outdoor hydronic heaters.

The standalone devices are common means of heating homes – and sometimes pools – in rural areas and many municipalities have laws regulating when and where they can be placed, but Ottawa is a notable exception.

The issue was first brought to the attention of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee on Jan. 13 by Carlsbad Springs resident Dan Renaud and Glen Roberts of Cumberland.

The boilers are generally used in rural areas, but there is nothing stopping someone in Westboro or Vanier from putting one on their property.

Renaud and Roberts detailed their frustrations of having neighbour’s woodburning boilers directly adjacent to their properties. If the stack isn’t tall enough and the boiler is close to a neighbouring home, heavy smoke can drift into a neighbour’s property.

In Renaud’s case, he says it has prevented him from working at his carpentry shop in the spring. For Roberts, the concern is health. His wife, Catherine, has a chronic

neighbour’s wood-burning boiler.

With those considerations in mind, the city drafted new rules that would prevent people from putting a boiler on their property if it’s a small lot. The proposed rules also include provisions for how far away the unit must be from a neighbouring home and how tall the smoke stack must be.

But some residents at the May 23 meeting said the city missed the mark.

The setback distance is too large and would be impossible to achieve even on some larger lots, residents said, and the requirement to have a smoke stack higher than a neighbour’s roof could mean boiler owners might have to build a 12-metre-high stack in some cases.

Those issues will be looked at when staff revise the proposed rules, said Derrick Moodie, a city staff member from the rural affairs office.

Mike Westly, who lives on Flewellyn Road, said the city shouldn’t need to regulate the boilers.

“A lot of my neighbours have been burning wood for years and they wouldn’t put it in a spot to annoy neighbours,” he said. “That’s just the rural mentality.”

Jamie Johnston of Carp agreed, saying that it doesn’t make sense to regulate where

people can put a wood-burning boiler if there are no restrictions on wood-burning heaters inside homes.

Others said the city is trying to regulate the wrong thing.

Instead of saying where wood-burning boilers can go, the city should regulate the emissions and what kinds of materials can be burned.

Wilder said that would be difficult for the city to do because it’s not only expensive, it’s outside the city’s jurisdiction.

Roberts was frustrated that the proposed rules wouldn’t help his situation because it would only apply to new units, not those that are already installed.

“Unfortunately we can’t solve all the problems that exist, but it’s looking at preventing more problems in the future,” Moodie said.

Geraldine Wilder, another city planner working on the project advised that many people around Ontario have been successful in civil lawsuits regarding neighbours’ disruptive wood-burning boilers.

The proposed rules will go to the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee and then city council for debate and approval. If approved, they would be enforced based on complaints called in to the city.

Summer is almost here, and families are preparing for holidays. It’s hard to believe that the end of the school year is only 4 weeks away, and for some, planning for child care over the summer holidays can be extremely stressful, complicated, and expensive.

The ultimate question at this time of year, is ‘at what age can a child be left home alone or to care for others’?

Leaving a child unattended under the age of 10 is in contravention of the criminal code, and the CAS of Ottawa does not recommend that parents leave a child under 12 to care for other children.

Although the law has determined that children over the age of 10 can legally be left unsupervised, it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that regardless of their age, children under the age of 16 are safe or in the very least make provisions for their safety. This means ensuring a proper readiness and safety planning for children or youth who are left alone.

Making this decision can be stressful for parents, who need to consider a wide range of factors when determining when their child is ready to be home alone. For example, is your child able to make sound decisions as it relates to their ability to handle emergency situations? Are their surroundings safe? How long will they be left alone? For some parents who consider these factors, it may become evident that even their 14 year old is not ready. For older youth for whom being left alone can lead to boredom related risky behaviours, there are a wide range of challenging and engaging recreational activities in the city to keep them busy. Involving teens and preteens in the planning of their summer activities may also help to ensure they will have fun and stay safe throughout the summer For more information on leaving children home alone call 613-747-7800.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes.

More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behindthe-scenes work is taking place, too.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, financial constraints could delay the start of a new project that you have wanted to do for quite a while. Don’t fall into despair; you just may have to save a little longer.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, learn all the facts before you get pulled into gossip. Otherwise you may become part of the problem of disseminating the wrong type of information.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, though you are naturally intuitive, this week you may have a burst of purely psychic energy that cannot be ignored. You may find vivid dreams are part of the deal.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 0708

Cancer, you are feeling very passionate and you have deep and rich emotions this week. It is all about developing an even more solid relationship with your partner.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Don’t feel tempted to give anyone a pep talk, Leo. You may just be wasting your time. The person you have in mind might not be too receptive to advice.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, thoughts of love and romance could distract you and make it hard to do your job. Don’t be tempted to spend all the time on the phone.

Last week’s answers

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

You have an inherent ability to read a person’s thoughts and motives, Libra. You may find that people’s feelings simply jump out toward you. This ability could be taxing, though.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Emotional issues with a family member could leave you seeking an escape route, Scorpio. This may be just what you need to clear your mind and get back on track.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you are feeling less inhibited this week, which may lead to a loose tongue. Try not to offend because you aren’t thinking things through but operating on impulse.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, stress on the job could have you thinking about quitting. But a look at your finances may tell you this isn’t a wise idea at the time. Stick with it for a little while longer.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Mistakes from the past could come back to haunt you, Aquarius. For a few days you may be low on self- confidence.

Lie low if you don’t trust your judgement just yet.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, though you’re usually physically active, this week you can benefit from just taking a small break. Focus on recharging.

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!
