‘Families First Community Cancer Support’ Continued from page 1
Kayleigh Read, daughter of the late Dave Markell, made the announcement to all those attending the washer tournament, just before tournament play got underway in the afternoon. She noted that the possibility of creating a charitable organization had been mentioned at last year’s tournament as a way of knowing where money raised by the washer tournament goes. Although funds raised by the Dave Markell Washer Tournament had been donated to various causes in previous years such as Alzheimer’s or cancer, there was no certainty about what this money exactly funded. With this new charitable corporation called “Families First Community Cancer Support,” funds raised will now all be going to help diagnosed cancer patients with expenses not covered by OHIP or extended health plans. Kayleigh pointed out that cancer treatments like chemotherapy are covered but, for instance, oral chemotherapy drugs are usually not covered and this could amount to thousands per month. Medications to counteract side effects from cancer treatments also are not covered unless by an extended health plan and one in five Canadians do not have such a plan. Then there’s travel and parking expenses as well as some living expenses and there are no programs to help pay for these expenses. Not until now, that is, because this new “Families First Community Cancer Support” organization will pay necessary bills and other expenses incurred by someone battling cancer. “All that little stuff that no one thinks of,” Kayleigh said. “That’s huge.” And while the annual Dave Markell Washer Tournament will continue to be a major fundraiser for this new organization, it will be expanding its activities, holding bottle drives and online auctions to raise money. In addition, it hopes to partner with organizers of an existing charity golf tournament as another fundraising venture. The new organization will establish a website and Facebook presence as it tries to make the public aware of its purpose. It expects to start processing applications from those needing its help within a month. But for all this to happen, more donations will have to be forthcoming. “We will get big,” Kayleigh said about the new charitable organization. “We need you to give big,” she told
10 Piper Crescent
those at the launch announcement at the washer tournament. She said that those involved with the new charitable organization want to give back for all the love and support which they experienced when Dave Markell passed away from cancer. The new organization will have no administrative costs, Kayleigh said, so that all of the funds raised or donated will go directly to help cancer patients pay necessary bills. With its charitable status, “Families First Community Cancer Support” will be able to give income tax receipts for charitable giving. A Board of Directors has been set up comprised of Anne Markell, Kayleigh Reid, Jessica Campbell and Francine Boucher. This year’s Dave Markell Washer Tournament, at which the announcement about the new “Families First Community Cancer Support” charitable organization was made, was held last Saturday, June 18 at the Poole Creek Crescent/Fringewood Drive park in Fringewood in Stittsville, with sunny, warm weather prevailing. There was an initial washer tournament at 11 a.m., followed by a larger tournament of over 25 teams getting underway a little after 1 p.m. This was the fifth annual Dave Markell Washer Tournament. Two tournaments had been held in the Fringewood community before it became a memorial event for Dave Markell. See DAVE MARKELL WASHER, page 5

Game of washers is similar to horseshoes Continued from page 5
Games are played to 21 points, although a team has to win by two points to claim victory. For this year’s tournament, a number of tents were set up in the park, providing much sought-after shade. Chilli and munchies of various sorts were available at the tournament, with a dinner meal served around 4 p.m. for all
those involved. A raffle was held as an additional fundraising venture at the washer tournament. Organizers received corporate support from such companies as Cavanagh Construction and Read & Read Electric. Lots of volunteer effort goes into organizing and running this annual Dave Markell Washer

Tournament. There are those who cut the grass in the park prior to the event as well as those who set up the washer boxes and tents. There are those who help provide the dinner and others who contribute in numerous ways. It was Jessica Campbell and her husband Ryan who started this washer tournament in 2010, invited close family and friends to attend in the Campbell’s back yard to play some friendly washer games. Dave Markell, an active member of the Fringewood community who passed away from cancer in 2012, attended and thoroughly enjoyed these first two tournaments, helping with their planning and execution He passed away from cancer just before the third annual tournament in 2012 and that’s when it was decided to make the washer tournament an annual memorial event in memory of Dave. That’s when funds generated by the tournament began to be directed to charity.
The game of washers is similar to horseshoes, although instead of throwing horseshoes at a stake in a pit, a person throws metal washers at a washer box. In the game, there are two washer boxes placed 25 feet apartment. Playing in teams of two, players throw a metal washer standing at one box towards the other washer box, trying to get the washer in the box, or, better yet, in a tube standing up in the box. Points are accumulated in this manner. The washers are usually tossed underhanded by players but this is not an absolute rule. Just ask Jason Duprau who has played in these washer tournaments in Fringewood since they began. He found that he was not very good tossing the washer with an underhand delivery and so he has switched to an overhand delivery which he finds to produce more consistent results for him. Indeed, he has even convinced another player to switch to the overhand style of throwing the washer.

Ailing MP rises to the occasion
E
very time Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger is seen in public these days it is a shocking sight. The deterioration to his body has been exceedingly swift since he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shortly after last fall’s federal election. But that doesn’t mean that Belanger can’t still get things done. On June 15, Belanger’s long-time effort to have the words changed in Canada’s national anthem to be more gender neutral – from “True patriot love in all thy sons command� to “True patriot love in all of us command� — was approved by a vote in the House of Commons. “Just two words – of us – would replace ‘thy sons’,� Belanger said in his spring newsletter. “These two words would make our national anthem more inclusive and pay tribute to all the women who have helped to shape our society. I believe it is important for our national anthem to finally recognize their contribution.� “Many thanks to my colleagues for their unequivocal support demonstrated in the final vote in the House of Commons on my Bill C-210,� Belanger wrote in a Facebook post on June 15. “I strongly believe that Canadians now are ready
for an inclusive national anthem. On the eve of celebrating the 150th anniversary of our confederation, it is important that one of our most famous and popular national symbols reflects the progress made in our nation in equality between men and the women. Now, C-210 will be sent to the Senate of Canada for the next steps.� There were some MPs who voted against the change, primarily from the Conservative Party, but there were some Conservatives who supported the change as well. Opponents made two basic points: they don’t think that ‘thy sons’ excludes women, and thus there is no need for gender neutral language, and you shouldn’t mess with the wording of the anthem as a matter of principle. What trumps those arguments against making a change is the fact that ‘thy sons’ was not originally in the anthem either. Those words were added during the First World War. If the anthem could be changed in the past, it is not a valid argument now to say the original words are sacred when they are not the original words at all. Belanger is clearly fighting for his life these days. In this fight, though, he also clearly emerged victorious, and he should be proud of that victory.
Never underestimate your local talent
T
he festival season begins this week in Ottawa with the jazz festival, a welcome beginning to the summer. Bluesfest and others will follow. While music aficionados will debate, as they always do, aspects of the festival line-ups, no one will dispute the joys of hearing live music, especially when it is performed outdoors. For performers of all types of music the festival season brings mixed emotions. On the one hand, there is the excitement of seeing and hearing some of the best Canadian and international singers and instrumentalists perform in front of large crowds. On the other hand, the festival season raises, for local performers, the question of where those crowds are in the off-season.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town The festival season demonstrates that people in Ottawa and the surrounding area love music and will turn out to see it performed live — even, I would venture to guess, braving a chewedup downtown to get there. The audiences are out there, for sure. The question is what happens to them in the months when there are no festivals on. Aside from big concerts by international stars, all types of music are starved for audiences. This may have something to do with the fact that local musicians are local, never mind that many are of international
quality. In the old expression, an expert is someone from out of town, and that may apply equally to performers. But Ottawans will still turn out for local performers under certain circumstances. Last week, the jazz festival held something called a 24-Hour Jazz Ramble featuring local performers at the Record Centre in Hintonburg. (Disclosure: I was, briefly, one of them.) The place was packed and audiences spilled out onto the street, particularly in the evening. True, it was a special event, well-promoted in local media, it was a warm and pleasant night, and various prizes were on offer. But still, it did seem to demonstrate that the potential for support of local performers exists. The trick is to unlock that potential, to get the people out supporting the arts when there is

no festival, no special event, no big-name star from out of town. The obstacles are formidable, here as elsewhere. There is much to keep to people at home. The Internet is infinitely amusing. TV screens have become large and the range of viewing choices has expanded substantially. Both children and adults participate in sports. Plus, people are busy at work, tired when they get home, disinclined to go out, particularly when the weather is cold. Under the proper circumstances, you can get them out of the house. The trick is to create more of those circumstances. Promoters and club owners need to be more creative and more energetic in informing the public about what they are presenting. Right now, many club owners are entirely passive, leaving it to the performers to promote themselves.

performers. It’s a demonstrated fact that a good plug on, say, CBC’s All in a Day, can bring crowds for local performers. For all local media, a little less focus on Hollywood celebrities and a little more on the artists in our community might have a positive impact. The rest of us just need to get out more.

ther’s Day. The conditions made it enjoyable to stroll around the Museum site, checking out the myriad of items in the silent auction including Ottawa Senators tickets, gift baskets, gift cards, books and more; visiting the Big Sky Ranch animal display (ducks, a pig, a goat, a pony and more) set up in the shade of the treed area adjacent to the Museum complex; drop by the re-created World War One forward aid post and casualty clearing station with its nursing sister and medic, also set up in the forested area; check out the Museum’s recently expanded exhibition “Healing Hands: Medicine During The World Wars” highlighting the role played by the Red Cross, Nursing Sisters and Veterinarians in the First World War as well as the Museum’s new exhibit extolling the golfing exploits of Richmond native George Lyon who won the first and only gold medal for golf ever awarded in the Olympics (it happened in 1904); and enjoy a snack at the Stittsville United Church food tent. But there was more going on. A military jeep was on the site and youngsters could enjoy themselves at a craft table. Inside the Museum, two youthful collectors brought old music back to life with their phonograph exhibit which included both disc and cylinder records. Funds raised by the silent auction at this “Father’s Day Flashback” event will be used by the Goulbourn Museum to help publicize the story of Goulbourn and Richmond as Ottawa’s oldest military settlement. This “Father’s Day Flashback” event was sponsored by Minto’s Potter’s Key development in Stittsville. The Goulbourn Museum, which is a registered charity, has one of the largest artefact collections among local museums in the city of Ottawa. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. The Goulbourn Museum can be contacted at 613-831-2393 or via email at info@goulbournmuseum.ca.

Great entertainment at Gaia Java coffee shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Whether it was one voice or eight voices, the result was the same at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on June 17 – great entertainment. The evening was shared by singer Linda Barnes, who accompanied herself on the guitar, and

by the Northern Stars Chorus, a barbershop group. Linda Barnes presented a program of mainly familiar cover tunes, although she did perform her own composition “Where Do We Go From Here?”, a song that she wrote about the future of a relationship, i.e. whether to break up or keep going. You knew that you were in for an evening of familiar, well known songs when she opened with the tune “Piano Man,” the 1973 song by American singer Billy Joel which became his signature song in a career which saw him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And she continued with songs like “Weave Me The Sunshine” by the American folk group Peter, Paul and Mary; “And I Love You So,” a song from Don McLean’s debut album “Tapestry” in 1970 which was a hit when recorded by Perry Como in 1973; “If I Knew Then” by the American country music group Lady Antebellum; “You Belong To Me,” perhaps best known as a Patsy Cline tune with its familiar opening lyrics of “See the pyramids along the Nile/Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle/ Just remember darling all the while/You belong to me”; Naomi Judd’s “Flies on the Butter (You Can’t Go Home Again)”; “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” a 1970 song by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival; the 1970 song “Teach Your Children” by the folk rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash and, oh yes, Young; “Consequence Free,” a lead single on the 1999 album “Turn” by the Canadian folk rock band Great Big Sea; “The Carnival Is Over,” the 1965 song by the Australian folk pop group The Seekers which became the group’s signature song; John Denver’s lesser known song “The Game Is Over”; and “Sealed With A Kiss,” the 1972 hit by American pop singer Bobby Vinton which had been recorded a decade earlier by American pop recording artist Brian Hiland.

And Linda also performed a hauntingly quiet, gentle version of Leonard Cohen’s iconic song “Hallelujah.” So, by the time that the intermission for the evening rolled around, the audience had experienced quite a musical journey with Linda Barnes. It was already a super night and it just got better following the intermission as eight members of the Northern Stars Chorus barbershop group took over the performance area and delivered a 14-song set that was an a cappella musical trip barbershop-style through a number of decades. So you heard traditional favourites like “Coney Island Baby,” “Paper Moon,” “That Railroad Rag,” “Goin’ Home,” “Lulu’s Back in Town,” and “Darkness on the Delta,” along with some of the more recent (1950’s and 1960’s, that is) barbershop renditions of more modern songs like “Hello Mary Lou” which was a hit for Ricky Nelson in 1961, “When I’m 64,” a Beatles’ song from 1967 and John Denver’s “Country Roads.” Members of the Northern Stars Chorus who performed at this Gaia Java coffee shop outing were Stuart MacMartin, who is the group’s music director as well, Peter Hall, Matt Gregg, Seymour Bellman, Dan Sunderland, Hank Rydzyk, Peter Joannou
and Keith Lindsey. They sang different parts of the group’s four-part harmony offerings including tenor which is the highest part, lead which carries the melody and is below the tenor, baritone which is between the lead and the bass, and bass which involves the low notes but can still include quite a range. The Northern Stars Chorus, which is based in Nepean with its singers coming from around the area, has performed previously at the Gaia Java shop. Linda Barnes’ performance was the first time that she has performed at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville. Besides playing the guitar which she did in this performance, she also plays a range of instruments including the harmonica as well as singing and writing songs. She played for a number of years in a group called “The Good News Singers.” The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge with everyone welcome to attend. Donations to help the performers with their expenses are welcome. Early arrival to these Friday music evenings is recommended for the best seating.

De-mystifying use of defibrillators John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
There’s lots of defibrillators around in public places these days. But do people know how to use them? This is where the Braden’s Law project comes in, as it has as its goal de-mystifying the use of defibrillators, especially in a sports environment. It is an initiative started by Rob Searle, an Ottawa parent and minor hockey coach whose son Braden died suddenly in his sleep on June 18, 2013 at the age of 14. It was the result of cardiac arrest due to an undiagnosed heart disease. Braden’s death was a nightmare for the Searle family but his death got Rob wondering what would have happened if Braden had suffered the cardiac arrest playing hockey – would he have known how to administer cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use the defibrillator? He concluded that he would not have known and began wondering how many others would know what to do in such a situation. Braden “just ate and breathed sports,” according to his father, with a huge interest in both hockey and ball. He played both sports and he and his father travelled to California for three years to meet players of the Los Angeles Kings, Braden’s favourite team. So, Braden’s Law was born as a legacy for Braden with the goal of
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Rob Searle, who has begun the Braden’s Law initiative to spread knowledge about how to use a defibrillator and to apply CPR in an emergency situation, particularly in a hockey environment, holds at the June 15th meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville a montage of photos of his late son Braden who died in his sleep from cardiac arrest.
ensuring people would be trained in CPR and the use of a defibrillator but specifically in a hockey setting. Rob, speaking about Braden’s Law at the June 15 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, said that there is a belief that using a defibrillator is easy – just plug it in and people will be saved. But Rob pointed out that this is not the case. First, it happens in a panic situation that can affect a person’s performance. Training in a classroom where everyone is calm and things are controlled makes for easy use of the defibrillator. But when a player on the ice has suddenly collapsed, there is not only panic to deal with but also there is the reality that the player is covered in hockey equipment, is probably sweaty and is in an cool or cold arena. All of this adds challenges to the situation and if the person is not fully trained in the use of the defibrillator, things may not go smoothly. Rob pointed out that while 85 percent of cardiac arrests happen in a public place or at home, only 5 percent survive in such situations. However, survival chances rise to 70 percent if CPR is applied or a defibrillator is used within three minutes of the incident happening. People need to practice and learn about CPR and the use of a defibrillator, Rob says. There are Red Cross certification courses available, Rob noted, but they require a greater time and monetary commitment. A Braden’s Law course is only two hours in length and costs only $20. And while not a course leading to any certification, it gives people the knowledge to know what to do in the case of a cardiac arrest or other heart problem. Rob says that knowing what to do takes the panic out of a situation. In addition, there is more chance of success if the person knows what to do in the situation. Even knowing how to access a defibrillator where it is stored in a public place requires some training – will an alarm go off when the defibrillator is removed? What will happen? Rob pointed out that the risk of a hockey player suffering an on-ice cardiac arrest increases as the person gets older and yet there are no protocols in place in so-called beer league hockey. Rob has delivered training to the St. Laurent Adult Hockey League which has 16 teams and will be training those involved with the Minto Adult Hockey league which has 120 teams play-
ing in the winter. Rob right now is seeking up to $9,000 for several enhancements to the Braden’s Law program such as training so that Rob and others can become certified instructors, funds for website development so that Braden’s Law can have a presence on the internet and money for needed equipment and supplies such as mannequins and a projector. The whole aim of Braden’s Law is to try to get a majority of people to know how to apply CPR and to use an defibrillator, especially in a hockey environment. This can end up in lives saved, Rob said. For minor hockey teams with players under 15 years of age, the goal is to train the team trainers. For teams with players over 15 years of age, the idea is to teach the players as they will be the future players in beer league hockey. See BRADEN’S LAW, page 12

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
June 23, 2016
City’s New Pedestrian Crossovers (PXOs) You have probably seen some of these PXOs show up in the Stittsville community at Springbrook Drive in Amberwood Village and at Delamere and Westridge. PXOs will also be adapted into the five traffic circles in our ward (Huntmar and Rosehill, Shea and Fernbank, and three on Robert Grant Way). I would like to emphasize that it is now the responsibility of all road users to follow the new PXO requirements including pedestrians and cyclists and not just drivers. So what does this mean for road users? For drivers and cyclists, it means to always watch for pedestrians, ensuring to stop behind the yield line, allowing them the right of way. Once pedestrians have completely crossed the roadway, drivers may proceed with caution. However, it should be said that the right-of-way does not absolve a pedestrian of his/her responsibilities. Particularly in the early stages of this pilot project, it is the duty of a pedestrian wishing to cross to indicate their intention to do so and make eye contact with a driver, ensuring they have reached a full stop and it is completely safe to cross before stepping onto the roadway.
D A E R P S E
When crossing with pedestrians, cyclists must dismount and follow rules for pedestrians, walking the bike across the road. Drivers and cyclists caught ignoring PXO rules will be fined $150-500 with 3 demerit points.
TH
D R WO
Please note that not all PXOs will look the same. All PXOs will consist of painted road lines and they will only be occurring on low speed, low to medium volume roads for the first year. As such, they should not adversely affect the flow of traffic in roundabouts or affected streets.
Fire Hydrant Testing Begins in the City

The City of Ottawa has begun testing fire hydrants city wide this week until October. Hydrants are inspected annually to ensure that they are ready should they be needed by Ottawa Fire Services. While hydrants are being tested, neighbouring households may experience temporary inconveniences such as discoloured water and reduced water pressure. The discoloured water, which occurs when the testing process disturbs sediments in the water pipes, does not pose any health concerns, but can stain laundry. Residents living near a fire hydrant scheduled for full-flow testing may experience short term (10 to 20 minutes) drops in water pressure during testing. Water pressure will return to normal once the test is complete. Residents may also experience rusty coloured water following full-flow testing. If discoloured water is noticed, residents are asked to turn off their tap for 10 to 20 minutes. This should allow work crews enough time to complete the test. After work crews have left the area, residents should turn on a cold water tap and allow it to run for about five minutes or until the water becomes clear. Full-flow hydrant testing in Ward 6 will be taking place between June 14-30 and the entire planned work schedule is available on ottawa.ca. This will be updated regularly as work progresses. Unforeseen circumstances may require changes to the work plan, so residents should check the schedule frequently. I would like to thank all residents for their patience and co-operation during this process. Stittsville News - Thursday, June 23, 2016 11

At a Braden’s Law training session, the use of a defibrillator is explained. Those taking the course get to role play in a pseudo-emergency situation in which the apparent victim is wearing hockey equipment which must be cut off to apply the defibrillator or CPR. Hockey equipment can be difficult to remove as special heavy-duty scissors found with the defibrillator have to be used. A defibrillator or AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable electronic device which treats life-threatening cardiac problems through the application of electrical therapy which allows the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.

City of Ottawa Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments Secondary dwelling units (coach houses) in accessory structures Zoning Study In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning and Growth Management department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law amendment (ZBA) affect residential properties city wide. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to adjust an existing policy within Section 3.1 and Section 2.5.2 of the Official Plan to allow Coach Houses as an appropriate form of secondary infill housing. The proposed policy direction sets forward the framework for how to allow coach houses on residential lots throughout the City. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to provide performance standards to implement the proposed policy direction for coach houses as a permitted residential use for properties which have a detached, semi-detached, linked detached, duplex or rowhouse dwelling as the primary dwelling on the lot. Changes to Section 133 secondary dwelling units will provide the performance standards to allow coach houses. Supplementary changes are required throughout the By-law to ensure that existing provisions do not conflict with this new permitted use. The land to which the proposed OPA (file No. D01-01-15-0002) applies is also subject to the proposed ZBLA (file No. D02-02-15-0021). To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or go to ottawa.ca/coachhouses. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by July 22, 2016. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Dated at Ottawa this June 24, 2016.

Members of the Goulbourn Hornets junior girls basketball team, silver medallists in Division 4 play of the Ontario Cup provincial tournament in Waterloo, are, front row, kneeling, from left, Andrea Vervoort, Hailey Norman, Dakota Hanson and Serena Puri; and, back row, standing, from left, head coach Ajai Puri, Julia Blais, Emily Donaldson, Maja Nikolic, Kassidy Ruigrok, Teodora Vujicic, Leticia Sobue, Andrea Banks, trainer Jane Donaldson and assistant coach Martin Vervoort.
The Goulbourn Hornets junior girls basketball team missed the provincial championship by just two points at the recent Ontario Cup provincial tournament in Waterloo. Playing in Division 4 of the tournament, the Hornets entered the tournament as the fourth seed in the eight-team division. But the Hornets went undefeated in round robin play, earning a spot in the gold medal championship final. Up against another undefeated team, the YNBA squad, in this championship final, the Hornets fell behind by double digits but rallied, with the game going down to the final possession. But unfortunately the final whistle saw the Hornets on the wrong end of a two point game as they lost 40-38. As a result, the Hornets brought home the silver medals from this provincial competition. The Hornets had reached the championship final by going undefeated in round robin play. The Hornets open the tournament with a 56-43 victory over the eighth seeded team from London. The Hornets followed this up with a 38-28 victory over the Caledon Cougars before finishing up round robin action with a 49-36 victory over the top seeded team from Stratford. This undefeated record in round robin play meant that the Hornets advanced to the gold medal championship final against the YNBA team. This concluded quite a season for the Goulbourn Hornets junior girls basketball team which included players that had played on six different teams the previous season. Participating in six tournaments throughout the season, the Hornets had one gold medal tournament performance while also earning silver medals in three of the tournaments.

Lions give $1,300 to help family with expenses John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Stittsville District Lions Club has given $1,300 to the Martin family of Stittsville to help with expenses incurred for surgery in the United States for Makenna Martin. This is the second major donation made by the Lions Club to help out the Martin family. The funds came when the Stittsville District Lions Club sent out a call for financial help for this situation to other Lions Clubs in the area. Last March the Lions Club gave $1,000 to the Martin family with the presentation taking place just before Makenna and her mother Jen Martin travelled to Ohio for vision surgery for Makenna. Makenna has suffered from a condition known as congenital nystagmus or “dancing eyes.” Her surgery in Ohio in April went “fabulously,” her mother Jen told the Lions Club at its June 8th meeting. This means that Makenna, who is nine years old, is now able to be more active, doing more running and gymnastics. And she will even be able to give a driver’s license when she is older.
There was no OHIP funding provided for this surgery in the United States, meaning that the family had to bear the expenses. But Jen said that the surgery was “worth every penny” spent because Makenna is now doing awesome with her vision. Jen and Makenna presented the Lions Club with a photo album of photos taken during the trip to Ohio in appreciation for the Lions Club’s financial support. Eyes that “dance” are the outward sign of a condition known as congenital nystagmus. Makenna’s eyes were constantly “wobbling,” meaning that Makenna could not see clearly as though she was always looking at an out-of-focus picture. Makenna used to compensate somewhat for her “dancing eyes” by using her so-called null point where she turned her head to the left while her eyes looked to the right. One action in effect cancelled out the other so that the “wobble” of her eyes was decreased and she could focus a little easier. Makenna’s mother, Jen Martin, first noticed Makenna’s wobbling eyes when she was just months old. A diagnosis confirmed that Makenna had congenital nystagmus, an eye condition
that cannot be cured, and she has been regularly followed by a pediatric ophthalmologist since then. In Nov. 2011, when she was four years old, Makenna had a Kestenbauym Procedure performed at CHEO. This helped but only for a while. As time passed, she essentially reverted back to her previous condition, using her null point 80 to 90 percent of the time. This constant use of her null point led to her neck muscles being strained and to headaches. Despite her congenital nystagmus and two other vision challenges, namely being near sighted and astigmatism, Makenna, who is in grade three, maintains an active lifestyle, enjoying dancing, singing, playing soccer and being active with her friends. Makenna’s mom Jen has actively tried to educate herself about nystagmus and has discovered that Canada lacks research, education and information about nystagmus. She has been an active member of the United Kingdom and American Nystagmus Networks, often purchasing materials through these organizations and consulting with their members around the world.
Local Events Find Fin
It was through this involvement that she became aware of the surgery called horizontal tenotony at the Akron Children’s Hospital in
Ohio. Such a surgery improves visual acuity through decreasing the movement of the eyes and reduces the degree of the null point.

Stittsville garden on 2016 Water Garden Tour John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
One of the ten gardens on the self-guided 2016 Water Garden Tour on June 25th is right in Stittsville. The garden of Jo-Anne Ilkiw and Arne Nilsson on Norway Spruce Street which has five water features is on the tour and in fact is the only one of the ten gardens that will be available for touring not only during the day (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) but also in the evening from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Inclusion of a water garden that can be enjoyed after dark
has proved to be a popular feature of past water garden tours and so having this garden in Stittsville open for viewing after dark is continuing this tradition. Besides this garden in Stittsville, other gardens on this Water Garden Tour organized by the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society are in Kanata, Nepean, Carp, Hintonburg, Gloucester and Orleans. The Ilkiw-Nilsson garden on Norway Spruce Street in Stittsville is a multi-faceted oasis with five water features augmented by flower beds, an organic vegetable garden and a remote control min-

iature race car track. Among the water features are a fountain heron sprouting water and a small front pond built around a unique stone. Two larger ponds are connected with three distinct waterfalls which are lit at night. Tickets for this 2016 Water Garden Tour, which is the eighth annual such tour, are $20 each and are available from Ritchie’s Feed and Seed on Carp Road in Stittsville as well as a number of other locations. Tour booklets outlining the destinations on this self-guided tour are provided with the tickets. The tour goes ahead rain or shine.
Founded in 2006, the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society which hosts the tour is a non-profit organization dedicated to the enjoyment, education and promotion for the water gardening hobby in the National Capital Region. The tour happens thanks to the cooperation of homeowners who volunteer to open their gardens for the enjoying and inspiration and learning of those who take the tour. All profits from this annual Water Garden Tour go to the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society’s commu-
nity project fund. This year is seeing the completion of the second phase of a Healing Garden at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The next project to be support is a courtyard garden at the RuddyShenkman Hospice in Kanata in 2017. Funds raised by this year’s tour will be directed to this project.

Dining hall at fairgrounds becomes ‘art hall’ John Curry

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Shelby Cassidy holds her art featuring a puffin at the Richmond Village Art Show at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on June 18.
The dining hall at the Richmond fairgrounds became the “art hall” for a day on Saturday, June 18. That’s when the Richmond Village Art Club hosted its fifth annual art show in the dining hall, with the work of over 25 artists and artisans on display. There was silk art, graphite, coloured pencil and pen artwork, photography, pencil drawings, mixed media, acrylic painting, wildlife watercolours, oil painting, jewellery, pottery and sketches on display in this show. Artists and artisans displaying
their work at the show included Coralie Bartley, Sheila Cain-Sample, Alexis Williams, Alicia Clarke, Janice Barclay, Karen Xarchos, Patty Reid Smith, Les Bartley, Sharleen Amiro-Beresford, Kat McClure, Aspa Kelly, Salena Richard and Rebecca Stephens, all of Richmond; Ben LeBlanc, Michael Weaver and Phil Sponsor of Kanata; Hugh Dysart, Vera Van Baaren, Maggie Madden and Suzanne Denney of Stittsville; Aimee Britten and Wendy Southin of Munster; and Randy Wilson of Ottawa. In addition, five art students of Patty Reid Smith’s “Blue Heron Studios on the Mighty Jock River” had their artwork on display at her
table in the art show. Karen Xarchos’ exhibit of acrylic paintings featured several large paintings of iconic Indian-brand motorcycles as well as a number of smaller wildlife paintings. Classic Indian motorcycles were manufactured from 1901 to 1953 when the manufacturer went bankrupt. Since 2013, motorcycles reflecting the Indian’s traditional styling have been manufactured.

display at the show, with perhaps the most intriguing being a piece of what he terms “posable” art in which the art can be displayed in one of several different poses. He originally got the idea for creating such “posable” art from a circus experience in Florida which exposed him to acrobats and movable art. This gave him the idea of creating his concept of posable art and that’s what he has done.

Richmond art show
9-1 victory for Stittsville 56’ers
Continued from page 19
Ben LeBlanc and his wife Tanja of Kanata displayed an array of items including art work made of up-cycled fabric, Delft-style tiles and wood-burned creations. Ben is now offering these items for sale to the public after making them for use in his own house. They now can be found throughout the house but there is no more room and since he enjoys making the items, he has taken to participating in art show and sales, wanting to share his work with others. This art show and sale in Richmond also saw a display of pottery by Suzanne Denney of Stitttsville. She has been creating pottery for 25 years as a hobby but now that she is retired, she is selling her pottery in shows like this Richmond one. Richmond artist Patty Reid Smith had a display of artwork at the show, not only her own but also art created by some of her art students. While Patty herself has been drawing, painting and designing for over 30 years and does commission work in various mediums, she has teaches art for children and adults. So, besides her own art work, her exhibit included art work from several of her youthful students including Cheryl McKenzie Cross, Shelby Cassidy, Brooke Cassidy, Alexi Labelle and Christina Hastings.

The Mattamy Homes Canada Day in Barrhaven Committee comprises a group of 14 members. The local businesses, community partners and grants from the City of Ottawa and Canadian Heritage contribute annually in excess of $85,000 to run the event with the fireworks display alone costing $15,000. It takes several months of the year to carry out the planning, and since 2013, includes several days of a midway with many carnival rides and games. Presently, there are three stages, Kidz Zone Stage, Multi-Cultural Stage and the Main Stage. In 2015 the event was incorporated as Canada Day in Barrhaven, has its own insurance and now receives tax benefits that go back to the event. The modern event has continued to be family friendly, with a variety of food vendors, kids’ activities, multicultural shows, Big Bands on stage, an ATM on-site and the whole event is alcohol prohibited. You can take a shuttle bus from Ross’ Independent or come by bicycle and use our secure bike lock-up. Come out, bring your family and friends and have a great day celebrating our country’s birthday.

Salsa Babies Ottawa will have a family dance class as some of the other entertainment.

Canada Day 2016
Go red and white in Stittsville for 2016 Canada Day 2016 in Stittsville once again offers lots of fun activities and entertainment, capped off with a gala fireworks display. It all happens again this year on Canada Day, Friday, July 1, from 3 p.m. onwards on the grounds at the front of Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville. Everyone in the community is invited to attend. There is no admission charge and the fun activities and entertainment, along with the fireworks are all free. Take along a lawn chair, pick out a spot on the spacious grounds and celebrate Canada’s birthday listening to a variety of on-stage entertainment, chatting with friends and neighbours and enjoying the fireworks display at the end of the evening as dusk descends on the site. There’s always an opening ceremony with local dignitaries such as the MP, the MPP and the city councillor on hand, capped off with the cutting of a Canada Day birthday cake. Bill Martin, who has lots of experience organizing weekly open mic sessions at the Stittsville Legion, is assembling this year’s onstage entertainment, so you know that it will be enjoyable. There will be lots of inflatable attractions for youngsters to enjoy and everyone, especially youngsters, love the glow sticks that are
handed out just before darkness falls. They fill the grounds with hundreds of bright lights, looking like elongated glow worms. And there will be lots to eat at this year’s Canada Day celebrations. Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria will be on hand with its pizza and other food offerings. And if this were not enough, Pong’s Poutine, that wellknown food wagon on Carp Road, will also be there with its poutine and other food products. The Holy Spirit Parish Knights of Columbus will be present as well, with frozen treats that will really hit the spot on what is hoped to be a sunny, warm day. All of this is being organized again this year by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which gathers together the donations and funds required to stage the event, with costs this year totalling well over $20,000. It is the generosity of local businesses that make this all possible. Many hands make for lighter work and the SVA welcomes volunteers from the community to help out on site, either setting up for the celebrations, helping to run the activities during the day or helping clean up after the event. Anyone interested in helping out and being a volunteer at this year’s Canada Day festivities in Stittsville should contact SVA volunteer co-
ordinator Marilyn Jenkins at 613836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com. These Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville have become a tradition. They initially were held in the area south of the original arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC), offering on-stage entertainment, activities and games and, of course, the windup fire-
works. But construction of the second arena at the GRC, now known as the Matt Bradley Arena, eliminated much of the space used for these Canada Day activities and so the celebrations were moved to the front of Sacred Heart High School adjacent to the Trans Canada Trail. These Canada Day celebrations on the grounds at Sacred Heart
High School are not the only Canada Day activity going on in Stittsville on Canada Day, July 1. There’s also the annual Canada Day breakfast for seniors which takes place at Ottawa Fire Service Station No. 81 on Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. This is a free event for seniors in Stittsville but those attending must register with the office of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Starting at 8 a.m., the breakfast is always a sea of red as virtually everyone who attends wears something red for the event. Stittsville’s firefighters are on hand to serve those at the breakfast. These Canada Day breakfasts for seniors go back to the 1980’s when then-Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg launched the initiative. The breakfast would rotate on a yearly basis, one year being held in Richmond and the next year being held in Stittsville. With the amalgamation to create the new city of Ottawa in 2001, this Canada Day breakfast became a Canada Day fixture in Stittsville, hosted by the ward councillor and held in the bays at the Stittsville fire hall on Stittsville Main Street.

Residents who participate will be registered to win prizes. The event is still looking for volunteers to help with activities, and they can reach the association at pineviewottawa@ gmail.com. ORLÉANS
Canada Day this year is going to be a lot different in
Orléans, as organizers announced in January that the Greater Orléans Canada Day celebration had been cancelled. Organizers cited financial and weather-related difficulties among the reasons for the cancellation of the event that was held for the past 11 years. “The real frustration is the financial stress that we’ve been under the last few years that’s been caused by weather,” said board member Fred Sherwin at the time of the cancellation. CUMBERLAND
While Orléans won’t be throwing a Canada Day bash this year, Cumberland’s Baitun Naseer Mosque is hosting a public event and barbecue that all are welcome to attend. Children’s activities start at 7 p.m., with a flag hoisting and national anthem at 8:40 p.m. There will also be guest speakers as well as cake. The barbecue starts at 7:30 p.m. The mosque is at 2620 Market St., Cumberland.

Red Carpet event for cosmetics at Stittsville IDA Pharmacy John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Cosmetics was front and centre at the Stittsville IDA Pharmacy on Thursday eve-
ning, June 16. That’s because the pharmacy’s cosmetics department staged a first-ever Spring Into Summer Red Carpet event that provided customers with the opportunity to receive advice
RIDEAU HALL
MOVIE NIGHTS
from makeup artist Julie Meikle of Stittsville. And yes, there really were red carpets on the floor, replacing the normal black ones, just for this special event. And it involved more than just advice, as customers were able to sit in a makeup chair, chat with Julie about their current makeup practices and then allow Julie to apply her expertise to their facial situation – a minimakeover, as it were. And Julie brought a lot of expertise and
experience to the event as she worked in New York for a number of years, gaining training and experience with such companies as Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. He also worked with Sears, Glamour Magazine and Seventeen Magazine and did makeup for the Biography Channel, the History Channel, A&E and even New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. She even appeared on the Today Show. See MAKEUP ARTIST, page 39

Makeup artist Julie Meikle of Stittsville has worked with celebrities and models Continued from page 38
During her New York years, she worked with models, photographers and directors. Among celebrities with which Julie has worked are Duane “Dog” and Beth Chapman of the reality TV show “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” comedian Gilbert Gottfried and magician/ illusionist Criss Angel. She brought all of this experience and knowledge to the cosmetics department at the Stittsville IDA Pharmacy, providing makeup tips, picking out a new lipstick colour and just chatting with customers about their makeup practices and new procedures and trends in the makeup industry. And she had lots of cosmetic products to choose from, right at her disposal in the IDA’s cosmetics department. As an independent pharmacy, the Stittsville IDA Pharmacy can carry whatever cosmetic products that it wishes in order to meet the needs of its customers. So you have a host of brand name makeup products on the shelves including Cover Girl, Maybelline, Revlon, Almay, L’Oreal and Fruits & Passion. “We do have a good selection,” says cosmetics department manager Sheryl Fishenden. And the selection extends to skin care products as well, with brands such as Marcelle, Avene and NeoStrata. It’s all meant to provide a selection that offers
something for everyone. Indeed, one of the purposes of this Red Carpet special event was to draw the attention of Pharmacy customers to the variety of cosmetic and skin care products which are carried in the store. And did you realize that Stittsville IDA Pharmacy also carries a line of boutique clothing? Indeed, at the Red Carpet event, a couple of the store’s young staff, namely Lauren Honcoop and Emma Gillespie, modelled dresses from the store’s clothing line. And they got to do it on the “red carpet” – so move over, Oscars and
you other celebrity soirees, Stittsville now has had its own glamour soiree right at the Stittsville IDA Pharmacy. Karim Merani of the Stittsville IDA Pharmacy praises cosmetics manager Sheryl Fishenden for reorganizing the store’s cosmetics department, calling it a very important area of the store. He also noted that Sheryl is great dealing with customers who visit the department. Julie Meikle does freelance and special occasion work like weddings and she recently did the makeup for Stittsville singer Grace Lachance when she recorded her
new music video. But Julie admits that her favourite thing is teaching woman about makeup and all of the new techniques and products available today. She particularly enjoys going to people’s homes and working with them there on their makeup challenges. And why does she do this? Her website (www.juliemeikle.com) perhaps says it best: “My absolute favourite moments are spending time with mothers, wives, grandmothers, business women and young teens, helping them see and believe that they are truly beautiful.”

While there is no legal requirement to have a shareholders agreement it is a powerful tool for addressing matters that are not already provided for by statute. For example, there are limited statutory provisions prescribing how disputes between shareholders may be resolved. A well-drafted shareholders agreement can address disputes using various contractual provisions that can bring an end to the shareholders relationship with certainty. An example of such a contractual provision is a shotgun buy-sell covenant. A shotgun buy-sell covenant allows one shareholder to give a second shareholder an option to either buy all the shares or sell all the shares at a price fixed by the shareholder initiating the process.
A lawyer with experience in commercial and corporate matters can guide you through the crafting of a shareholders agreement that is right for your business.

This is but one of many matters that may be addressed in a shareholders agreement. Management and control, work and effort requirements, survivorship, succession, share transfer provisions, and confidentiality obligations may all be addressed. Rarely are two shareholders agreements the same, as the circumstances and risks each is intended to address are unique. The very process of drafting a shareholders agreement is often useful in itself, engaging shareholders to express their expectations and thus facilitating the avoidance of misunderstandings that may lead to dispute.

The second shareholder must select one of the options. A buy-sell is designed to be fair by forcing the shareholder who exercises the buy/sell right to be reasonable in setting the price since they do not know if they will be a buyer or a seller.
A shareholders agreement is a contract between two or more shareholders of a corporation. The contract creates binding rights, duties and obligations for the shareholders relating to the corporation and supplements existing provisions of the corporation’s constating documents and governing corporate statute.

Dylan and Rascal - Friends and more! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Dylan Carey-Knox is a 17 year old grade 12 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville with autism. But thanks to his autism service dog Rascal, Dylan has become known not as “that boy with autism” but rather as “that boy with his dog.” The presence of Rascal in Dylan’s life has allowed Dylan to be a normal child, with life far less scary and upsetting. And when Dylan does become upset, Rascal becomes a big cuddle blanket, with his soft coat providing a sensory calming effect for Dylan. “He’s his permanent friend,” Dylan’s mother Debra Carey-Knox says about Rascal’s relationship with Dylan. Dylan and Rascal have been together now for almost five years, as Rascal was just three months old when he arrived in Dylan’s life. He came from the North Star Foundation, a non-profit organization based in the United States that places high quality assistance dogs with children who face social and emotional challenges. The service dogs are genetically bred for their role and the North Star Foundation’s method is to place an appropriate service dog with a child when they are both young so that puppy and child can grow together while the dog is in training. This is what happened in Dylan’s case. And now Dylan and Rascal are best friends, with the dog included in virtually all of Dylan’s activities. They have gone to Disney World and Universal Stu-

dios together. Rascal has dressed up as the Lion King. Rascal, using his paws, plays air hockey with Dylan. They have frolicked in the ocean together. They have bowled together, although Rascal’s love of chasing the balls precludes this happening now. The same happens when they play miniature golf together as Rascal goes after the balls. They have visited Niagara Falls together. They have swum with dolphins. And Dylan can amaze onlookers when he puts on a demonstration of dog tricks with Rascal who rolls over or stands up on his hind legs on command. Indeed, there are a couple of photo albums which are filled with Dylan and Rascal doing things together. “There are no limits to what we can do,” his mother Debra says about family activities involving both Dylan and Rascal. But while Dylan and Rascal are “best friends,” Rascal is always at work when he has his service dog vest on. So, if Dylan becomes agitated at any time, Rascal is there to provide comfort and reduce the agitation. Dylan can lie on Rascal, if he wants, or Rascal will snuggle his nose up to Dylan. Or, if needed, Rascal will alert mom Debra to the situation. In high stress or new situations, Dylan can get agitated and it is in situations like this when Rascal is truly what Debra calls “a godsend,” as the dog plays a huge role in allowing Dylan to become calmer in such circumstances. When Dylan was younger and did not have a service dog, he was, as some autistic children are, a runner. This meant that Dylan’s parents had to take shifts sleeping at night to prevent the running. But with Rascal, this is no longer necessary because the service dog is with Dylan and will alert the parents should Dylan get agitated and running becomes a possibility. The running is no longer a problem. Rascal lets Dylan be a normal child, mom Debra says. When in the company of the dog, Dylan becomes just a boy with a dog that others are interested in. They pat the dog (that’s allowed with autism service dogs) and they talk with Dylan. Without the dog and it calming influence on Dylan, he could become and be seen by others as being that boy who suffers fits of anxiety, exhibiting unusual behaviour. Indeed, Dylan also suffers from PTSD as a result of a childhood incident. But Rascal is also trained for PTSD as well, as the North Star Foundation does include dual diagnosis training of a service dog when necessary in matching with a child.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Sacred Heart Catholic High School student Dylan Carey-Knox is with his autism service dog “Rascal.” Rascal accompanies Dylan to school at Sacred Heart only for special events or occasions. He normally does without Rascal at school as he works with an educational assistant through his school day. This is also done so that Dylan can learn to cope without the presence of his autism service dog. But it is acknowledged that Dylan will probably always need the presence of an autism service dog in his life because the dog has a calming effect on his behaviour. While Rascal still works with Dylan when he is at home, Rascal does not wear his service dog vest when at home as it is meant to be a time when he can run around and just be a dog and a member of the family.

Debra also hosts foster children in their household, so Dylan is very used to people coming and going in the household and having lots of people around the house. Debra says that autism service dogs are crucial in trying to change a child’s life suffering from autism and she’s a huge fan of Rascal, calling him “the most awesome dog in the world.” Dylan received Rascal from the North Star Foundation, a United States organization founded by Patty Dobbs Gross whose own son Danny, now nearly 30 years old, received an assistance dog named Madison to work with his challenge of autism.

‘Rascal’ came from North Star Foundation in United States Continued from page 41
What Patty learned about raising a child with a social/emotional challenge with the help of an assistance dog became the backbone of the work of the North Star Foundation which is headquartered in Connecticut. Since the North Star Foundation was incorporated as a non profit organization in the year 2000, over 250 assistance dog partnerships with children who face challenges have been created. Patty advocates that partnering a dog with a child with special needs should involve canine behavioural genetics i.e. breeding dogs with temperaments conducive to working with children. These children are youth who are facing challenges ranging from autism to serious medical conditions. At North Star Foundation, the focus is on meeting a child’s social, emotional or educational challenges with the help of a well bred and carefully socialized dog. Considerable energy is put into teaching a child to interact with the dog in ways that enhance bonding. The experience of Dylan and Rascal is going to be documented in Patty Dobbs Gross’ next book. Dylan did have a service dog before Rascal. Called “Teddy Bear,” the dog lost vision in one eye and would growl when approached on its blind side. This meant that Dylan needed another service dog and that’s when his mother Debra turned to Patty Dobbs Gross and her North Star Foundation for help and Dylan’s partnership with Rascal began. Teddy Bear, by the way, while no longer suitable as JOHN CURRY/METROLAND an autism service dog because of his vision problem, Sacred Heart High School student Dylan Carey-Knox ended up working with a person suffering from ver- demonstrates how his dog “Rascal” can sit up on tigo and is now retired. command.

Sophia Brown-Andrukaitis of SCHS places fourth in research competition John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was in thinking about her own vegetable garden and the need to stake up tomato plants that led South Carleton High School student Sophia Brown-Andrukaitis to the project that ended up gaining her a fourth place finish in the Eastern Ontario Division of the National Sanofi BioGenius research competition. Sophia is the first student from South Carleton High School to have participated in this competition. And while Sophia’s research project had the elaborate title “The Impact of Heat Stress on Lodging Resistance in Canola,” it basically dealt with a similar problem as experienced by Sophia’s home garden tomato plants – the stem strength and the root anchorage strength of canola plants. Crop yield, whether it be Sophia’s garden tomato plants or canola in a Canadian farm field, can be imJOHN CURRY/METROLAND pacted adversely by lodging or the South Carleton High School grade 12 student Sophia Brown-Andrukaitis holds the certificate which she displacement of plants from vertireceived for placing fourth in the Eastern Ontario Division of the National Sanofi BioGenius research cal stature – in other words, not competition while standing beside a display in a hallway at the school which explains about her research standing up straight.

about a crop such as canola which can be pushed over by adverse weather like wind, hail or rain. And in these days of climate change with temperatures rising, what is the impact of this on canola plants in terms of lodging residence – how does more heat affect the stem and root strength of the plants? Sophia was asked last fall by her biology teacher at South Carleton, Ms. Sharron Meier, if she would like to participate in the National Sanofi BioGenius research competition. There were no course credits involved but it allowed for the possibility of working in a lab in a research setting. Sophia realized that it would be a lot of work but thought that it would be fun to do. So she applied and got accepted in the competition. The competition requires a student to work with a research mentor and so Sophia linked up with Dr. Wu of Agriculture and AgriFood Canada at the Experimental Farm on Carling Avenue who is doing research on canola and how its root system can be affected by heat and water stress.

Impact of heat on lodging resistance of canola Continued from page 46
She also linked up with Dr. Ma of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada who let her work in his lab on this project. Sophia then set out to determine the lodging resistance of canola and how it is affected by higher temperatures. Four varieties of canola were tested to determine if stem or root lodging is more prone to heat stress. There were two test groups, one with canola growing under normal temperature conditions and one with canola growing under higher temperatures. At maturity, the plants were subjected to a threepoint bending test and root lodging tests and root morphological traits were examined. The resulting data was analyzed, graphs crated and conclusions drawn. The conclusions from Sophia’s project were that although there is a significant difference between the lodging resistances of the four varieties of canola tested, all four varieties were affected by
heat stress in the same way. Heat stress increased the stem lodging resistance in canola plants. This happens because the stem diameter and biomass of the plants is increased, improving the lodging resistance of the stem. It was also found that heat stress decreases the root lodging resistance slightly. There is no impact on the plant’s tap root but there is a negative effect on the plant’s lateral roots. Overall, under heat stress, root lodging is more likely to occur than stem lodging. This is because heat stress increases stem lodging resistance while it decreases root lodging resistance. In other words, heat stress makes the stems of the plants stronger while the roots are weakened, however not as much as the stems are strengthened. Sophia travelled to the lab once or twice a week and all during the March Break as she worked on the project. Once the research was done and the conclusions draw, Sophia developed a poster and presentation which was then
submitted to the competition. She then had to make a verbal presentation about her project to a panel of judges. Sophia ended up placing fourth in the Eastern Ontario Division of the competition. She found the experience of doing research in a lab a great learning experience with some of the knowledge obtained, such as how to interpret data from a research project, no doubt to be useful as she goes on to university. She notes that she could not have gotten this experience anywhere else and she is happy that she got involved with the competition. And, besides that, she found that it was fun to do. But, despite her research, Sophia still has to stake up the tomatoes in her home garden. This project did not solve that problem. She notes as well that while the impact of global warming is being well research in terms of the impact on coral in the sea and similar impacts, there is not much research yet on how global warming is going to impact food production.
Canola is one of the world’s most important oilseed crops and is the most profitable commodity crop for Canadian farmers. Lodging, which is the permanent displacement of crop plants from vertical stature, is a major cause of crop yield loss and quality reduction. With temperatures rising due to global warming, there will be an impact on crop production., with higher temperatures limiting the growth and productivity of the canola. But there still is a need to know how the lodging resistance of canola is affected by higher temperatures. This is what Sophia’s project touched on. Sophia is very grateful for everything that her biology teacher at South Carleton Ms. Meier, her mentor Dr. Wu and her mentor’s supervisor Dr. Ma at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada did for her in undertaking this project. She is also grateful for the opportunity that she was given to participate in the National Sanofi BioGenius research competition.
This Sanofi BioGenius research competition is no ordinary science fair. For over two decades now, this competition has challenged high school students to carry out ground breaking research projects in the field of biotechnology. In the competition, selected students like Sophia Brown-Andrukaitis of South Carleton High School are matched with local mentors, giving them hands-on research experience in a professional lab setting. Over the years students’ research projects have ranged in topic from cancer and Alzheimer’s disease to agriculture and the environment. In some cases, a project’s findings have been patented and commercialized, making a real difference in the world. Sanofi BioGenius Canada, which began in the Toronto area in 1994, is aimed at raising awareness among students and educators about the emerging field of biotechnology. The Sanofi BioGenius competition now takes place annually in every province.

Giant tug-of-war at Richmond Public School Special to the News
flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.
A giant tug-of-war between students and staff was a highlight of the annual Richmond Public School (RPS) Fun Fair on Thursday, June 9. When it was all said and done, the staff team led by principal Wally Stagg had to accept defeat when the students out-numbered and over-powered the staff pullers. Sunny weather conditions for this year’s Fun Fair brought out a record attendance, estimated at about 350 RPS students and family members, ranging from toddlers to grandparents. Lenny the Fox, the RPS mascot, dance and mingled with the crowd at the event while the Richmond volunteer firefighters were on hand again this year, providing an opportunity to Fun Fair-goers to explore a fire truck, check out the equipment and
gear and ask lots of questions. Parents and students got the chance to meet and chat with the school’s new principal for the 2016-2017 school year, Nancy Dlouhy, who attended the event. A 40foot long inflatable obstacle course and a double lane slide were both back at this year’s Fun Fair due to popular demand and made possible in part by the Richmond Public School Council and by a generous donation by Jo-Jo’s Pizza. Inflatable Twister tested fair-goers’ flexibility while Strong Man tested people’s brawn. Fun Fair classics like the sack race, sock wars, giant flip-flop race, ring toss, dinodig and fish pond were among the more than a dozen games and activities at this year’s Fun Fair. See FUN FAIR, page 49

Thirty-six high school student volunteers ran the various games as well as a tattoo station and photo booth. Others created henna art and balloon animals. Face painting with artist Salena Richard resulted in many changed but happy faces for children at the event. Hot dogs, drinks, chips, cotton candy and freezies were available and the three-hour event was treated to great music supplied by Live 88.5. Events like this annual Fun Fair rely heavily on volunteers who help organize the event and work together to run it. “We volunteer because we feel that we are part of something special,” says volunteer Ulrica McKim. “It is a great community with a big heart that we call Richmond Public School.”

Dazzle at U-Rock Music School’s concert bandaged limb of one sort or another. But while these two performers dazzled in the concert, they were not alone. Ten year old Avery Stone started off her performance of “What A Feeling” with her back to the audience but soon turned not only to face the audience but to wow it, with black gloves on her hands and a glittering stage costume, even with glitter on her shoes. And she encouraged the audience to rhythmically clap along with the song. And although it goes back over 50 years to when it was a hit for Chubby Checker in 1961 and even won the Grammy Award for Best Rock and Roll Recording, “Let’s Twist Again” as delivered by nine year old Sonia Chirilla made everyone think that “twisting time” was here again. Her energetic delivery including some twist dance moves got everyone feeling like they wanted to twist - it was infectious, energetic and just plan “rockin’”. The Roxies, a group of nine young singers wearing pink t-shirts and some of the cutest smiles anywhere, showed the audience what it means to have fun performing, because it sure seemed like they

They were like musical bookends at the beginning and end of the URock Music School’s summer concert on Sunday afternoon, June 19. And what bookends! Both were powerful, attention grabbing performances that featured singing voices that held the listener spellbound and awe-struck. One was the performance by 14 year old Simone Fisher whose version of “Something’s Got A Hold On Me,” highlighted her strong voice, an asset which she enhanced with a stage presence that was worthy of a much more experienced performer. While Simone was among the first to appear on stage in the 30-performance concert, among the last was 15 year old Kaitlyn Weatherall whose rendition of “I Will Always Love You” resonated throughout the performance area at Greenfield’s Pub & Eatery in Barrhaven –now that’s singing! Kaitlyn performed with a bandaged left wrist and thumb, carrying on something of a tradition as in recent years she apparently has appeared in these concerts with a

Villeneuve, seven year old Alexa Henderson, seven year old Milla Ellison, nine year old Olivia Quinlan, nine year old Makenna Martin, seven year old Brooke Sloan, nine year old Keira Godard and eight year old Avery Rumsey. Another group performance which wowed the audience as well was that of the Shooting Stars, a group of four young performances who delivered a medley of three songs to wrap up the concert. Members of the Shooting Stars included drummer Avery Bailey, guitarist/ singer Aidan MacLeod and singers Rowan Hendrick and Kiara Marsden. Sixteen year old Bowen Xue had an infectious delivery for his song “Can’t Stop This Feeling,” moving around the stage like a veteran performer and encouraging the audience to get involved with some rhythmic clapping. Several drum solos took place in the concert, thanks to drummers Nessa Coughlan, Alexis Granger and Kyler Villeneuve. A number of performers were making their first performance on a big stage in a concert at this event. Among these first-timers were nine year old Liam Henderson who sang
an original song about summer; nine year old Phinley Agate who sang and played the ukulele; nine year old Hope Reimer who played the guitar and sang; and nine year old Holly Yeadon who sang the “Cup Song.” See U-ROCK, page 51

2016 Report to the Community
OUR CARE
Last year, QCH was one of 18 Ontario hospitals chosen by Health Quality Ontario to take part in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program – or NSQIP. The goal is to ensure the very best care using evidence-based guidelines. Other hospitals involved in this voluntary program have reported fewer complications, improved care and even shorter hospitals stays.
Emergency visits
77,974 Day surgery cases
19,315 Surgical inpatients
Patient outcomes are reviewed during their stay and once at home to look for unusual occurrences or complications. That data is then compared to 800 hospitals internationally to allow us to see how we are doing. From there, we can drill down and identify any opportunities for improvement.
4,972 Medical inpatients
4,643 Psychiatry inpatients
675 Births
2,397 Clinic & Day Program visits
85,380 Diagnostic Imaging tests
142,918 Cardiopulmonary procedures
262,376 Rehabilitation outpatients
93,087 Rehabilitation inpatients
678 Employees
SAFER SURGERY
It’s all part of our focus on safety and quality. When things don’t go as planned, we want to understand and learn. This will lead to better care and healthier patients.
Describe a pill by its colour, size and shape and chances are that our pharmacy team can tell you the name of the drug. They are the experts and they can be found throughout the hospital helping keep our patients safe. At QCH, we have a formal process called medication reconciliation to ensure that each patient’s medications are reviewed at admission and discharge, as well as at each transition point in-between. It’s all about communication. Pharmacy technicians work with patients, families and care providers to develop the initial medication history that stays with the patient throughout their stay. Any discrepancies can be quickly identified and corrected. And when the patient goes home, the list is reviewed again to ensure each patient is informed and prepared. We want to reduce the number of medication errors and adverse drug reactions – both in the hospital and at home.

Q
uality and Safety. Two simple words that mean so much. At Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH), it’s a commitment to ensuring every patient experience is the best it can be. It means staying on top of the latest leading-edge practices. And it requires everyone at QCH to be part of one team caring for our patients and families. We want to be the hospital of choice, recognized for our exemplary patient care, people and performance in an environment of innovation and strategic partnerships. In this year’s Report to the Community, we’re pleased to share some of our latest quality and safety initiatives. It’s our top priority– every day.
EXEMPLARY CARE
Delivering the best quality is a whole hospital effort. We all want to do the best we can.
We couldn’t be prouder! This year, QCH received the highest award possible from Accreditation Canada Accreditation with Exemplary Standing. Every four years, QCH is evaluated through Accreditation Canada’s voluntary process. An onsite review looks at everything from admission and discharge processes to infection control rates. The findings evaluate QCH’s performance against international standards of excellence. It’s an opportunity to validate how we do things and look for ways that we can do them better. Staff, physicians,
volunteers, Board members, patients and community members are involved. Our overall compliance rating was 99% and we met every one of the required organizational practices. The results reflect our team’s commitment to safe and high quality care. But it doesn’t stop there. Each year, QCH develops a Quality Improvement Plan to continually monitor our work. Accreditation is all about improving quality, reducing risk, and strengthening accountability. And we’re all for that!

Our mental health unit is located in the original part of QCH, built in 1976. It is overdue for renovations to provide a safe, healing therapeutic environment where each patient’s dignity and privacy can be respected during these most vulnerable times.
Please visit Hopesrising.ca to learn more. We HOPE you’ll join us! From our Childbirth Centre to the Myers Automotive ACE Unit, you are advancing care for all ages. Thank you for your ongoing support!
A SENIOR FRIENDLY APPROACH
PROVIDING A NEW PERSPECTIVE It takes a team to provide care at QCH – and our team includes patients and families. In fact, the patient’s voice is the most important one at the table. And now we want to do even more by ensuring they are part of every aspect of QCH – from advising hospital committees to improving discharge instructions and visiting hours, as well as participating on patient food tasting panels.

Our Patient and Family Advisory Council members share their ideas, provide feedback and help shape how care is delivered at QCH. For example, their suggestions to make a patient brochure easier to read or understand can actually reduce risk and truly make a difference. It’s our common sense perspective. Patients and families have a totally different vantage point. If we can see the care through their eyes, we know that care can only get better.

ADVANCING CARE FOR ALL AGES
Construction is almost complete and now our health care team is getting ready as well. We are changing the way we care to be more senior friendly. Everything from respectful communications to the physical environment is being addressed. We want to promote comfort, safety, independence and well-being for seniors throughout the hospital.
Volunteers
Patient revenue
We are so grateful for our caring community. Thanks to your generosity, we have advanced care for all ages at Queensway Carleton Hospital. In fact, in 2015, our community helped us raise over $4.7 million. Delivering on our promise, funds transferred to the hospital have purchased many vital pieces of equipment, upgraded patient information systems and technology, provided specialized learning for our nursing staff and supported the capital construction of the Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit.
Meet Irene Nicholson. She is 101-years-old and is exactly the kind of patient who will benefit from QCH’s new Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit. This specialized acute care unit will focus on the whole person, not just one medical issue. It’s the first of its kind in eastern Ontario and only the second ACE Unit in Ontario.

AND
QUALITY MATTERS
QCH is proud to support a greener environment through several initiatives that focus on reducing energy consumption and redirecting waste from the landfill to recycling. In fact, QCH was recently recognized with an award from the Ontario Hospital Association for energy excellence. A great example is the reusable sharps container program. These plastic boxes are mounted on walls throughout the hospital to safely collect used needles and syringes. In the past, the boxes were discarded once full. Now QCH works with a company that empties, sterilizes and returns the containers for reuse. It keeps our patients and staff safe, but it’s also environmentally friendly. In the past year, QCH has diverted 2.5 metric tonnes of plastic from the landfill. That’s the equivalent of 193,798 water bottles! Stittsville News - Thursday, June 23, 2016 55

MARY COOK Memories Sitting on a straight-back kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better. It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception. All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play. And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times. Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and piecrusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb. My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long
Connected to your community
Mary learns there is always lots to be done in the household
day ahead of me. Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey were completely ignoring me and the long sighs. Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Without taking her eyes off the piecrusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths. Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.” Well! That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job was as boring as sitting with nothing to do. And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul! “Well?” Mother said. It was more of
a command than a question. I was in charge of all the string that came into the house. Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string. It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard. I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair. Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square. Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches! The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small
hanky! My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table. I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon! After about 10 minutes I was almost asleep in the chair. This was more boring than having nothing to do! Finally I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later. Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well, I would never get back to the knitting. ‘You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her eyes off the filled pies. Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it. She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels. Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making. “Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long
for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.” She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again. Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it. For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model. Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size. Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer. She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles. I learned a lot that day. I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Surrounding a sign publicizing the upcoming annual community strawberry supper at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street on Wednesday, June 29 with three sittings (4 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.) are members of the organizing committee at the church, on the left, Geppy Walton (kneeling) and Frieda Veenstra behind her, and, on the right, Martha Roberts (kneeling) and Heather McKeown behind her. Other committee members not in the photo are Lyn Hughes, Carol LeBlanc, Dawna Selby, Mary Russell and Gwen Gaebel.
One of the best times of the year is here – strawberry season. And with strawberry season comes one of the most enjoyable and certainly one of the most delicious events of the year – the annual community strawberry supper hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville. This year’s community strawberry supper will take place on Wednesday, June 29 in the church hall, with three sittings being offered – 4 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. And, don’t forget, there’s also take out available! Early purchase of tickets is recommended to get the sitting that you want. This is because some of the sittings sell out quickly.

This annual supper will include turkey, ham and a wide variety of salads as well as the star of the event- fresh local strawberries, served over vanilla ice cream. Wow!

Garden at The Country Quilter becomes quilt paradise John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The rear garden at The Country Quilter shop in Richmond was a quilt paradise on Saturday, June 18. There were quilts on display on clothelines throughout the spacious garden, each one bearing an identification tag outlining information such as the quilter and the pattern involved. There were quilts of all sizes, all colours and all patterns on display in the sunshine on the warm day with
a clear blue sky overhead. A steady stream of visitors strolled amid the hanging quilts while also enjoying the peonies and yarrow in bloom as well as other attractions on site such as a display of dolls and a used book sale. This was the annual “Quilts in the Garden” outdoor show and sale which began back in 2002 with just 20 quilts on display and which has now grown to over 100 quilts and handmade items on display. There is no admission charge for those who visit the show.
Front and centre and the first quilts seen on entering the back garden at The Country Quilter last Saturday was the work of Carol and Pete Marshall of Manotick (aka “The Quilting Couple”) who were identified as the “artists in residence” for this year’s show. Pete Marshall readily admits that his wife Carol does most of the quilting in their household but he himself does do some quilting now that he is retired. Indeed, when he retired, he made and gave quilts to a number of his co-workers as parting gifts. He not only had some of his work among the extensive display at the “artists in residence” area of the outdoor show but some of his work could be found amid the quilts on display in the garden as well. One of these was a quilt featuring a pattern showing an array of grey houses on a hillside, entitled “Rhondda Grey” as it depicts a scene in the Rhondda Valley, a former coal mining valley in Wales. The predominant grey colour of the quilt represents the coal miners while black patches on some
of the houses depict the traditional practice of using black drapes to indicate a death in the house. Zig zag stitching in the quilt is meant to represent the web of coal mines in the valley. But this “Quilts in the Garden” outdoor show had a wide variety of quilts, each with a story to tell or quilt work to admire, just like with Pete Marshall’s “Rhondda Grey” quilt. Small quilts on display included Dianne Markle’s “Carpenter’s Star” and Sheila Parks’ “Spring Star.” See ‘QUILTS IN THE GARDEN,’ page 64

thing to pull, push or move about such as a zipper to pull back and forth, a pocket flap to open and close or a row of tassels to feel. These touch quilts usually feature bright, contrasting colours as Alzheimer’s patients are drawn to cheerful colours. Susan Eastman, whose mother is a resident at the Granite Ridge care facility in Stittsville, herself has provided about 15 of these touch quilts to Alzheimer’s patients there. Another attraction at this year’s “Quilts in the Garden” show was a display of dolls by the “All Dolled Up” group of Ottawa. There was also a display of smaller internationally attired dolls and cards being sold to support CANHAVE, a registered charity that sends HIV/AIDS affected orphans in Uganda to school. An extensive used book sale at this “Quilts in the Garden” show was also being held as a fundraiser for CANHAVE. The Richmond Area Quilters Guild had an exhibit at this “Quilts in the Garden” show as did the Scrappy Quilters group at The Country Quilter shop. There was a hand work display inside the shop and JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service had its yellow van on site for some of the show to sharpen scissors, rotary cutters, knives and other tools. And many of those who attended the outdoor quilt show went next door to enjoy the luncheon which the ladies of St. Paul’s United Church served from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

ol Marshall quilt “Be Happy” with birds in silhouette featured on it; Dianne Markle’s “Northcott Pannel” featuring a map of Canada with a Canadian flag in the top right hand corner of the quilt; and a wide but short quilt by Nancy Sprules entitled “A Song of Faith,” an original pattern with a fish, a bird and a tree of life and featuring the phrase “God creates the universe. We can discover our place as one strand in the web of life.” One eye-catching display at this year’s “Quilts in the Garden” show was a group of quilted handbags which were hanging on a white picket fence in the garden. A red handbag done by Lynne Rochette was stunning. Wendy Campbell’s larger handbag carried the name “Fit To Be Tied Bag.” Amid these handbags on the white picket fence was a small quilted dress featuring the “Cottage Mama” pattern, also done by Wendy Campbell. A popular spot at this year’s “Quilts in the Garden” show was an exhibit of touch quilts where Susan Eastman was on hand to explain about these lap-size touch quilts and how they can be such a comfort for those living with Alzheimer’s disease. These touch quilts are lap quilts whose most salient feature is the texture of the fabrics on their tops, providing a tactile adventure for the fingers and hands of a person with Alzheimer’s disease. Embellishments to these touch quilts may further enrich the quilt’s feel and provide some-

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may not be possible to get away for an extended vacation just now, but perhaps a few days away will offer the brief respite you need to get energized. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, professional issues may be stressful, but try to maintain a positive attitude and the issues will soon be resolved. Rely on a trusted colleague to help. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Face tough issues head on, Gemini. No matter the obstacle, you are fully capable of overcoming it. If necessary, ask for some clarification so you can better focus on the tasks at hand. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take some time out of your schedule for a fun day trip or another spontaneous activity that enables you to escape the daily grind and unwind for a little while. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may need to lend some special skills to a situation this week, Leo. When someone calls on you for help, accept the challenge with dignity and pride. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, make delegation a priority over the next several days. Spread the workload around to lessen some of your burden and to encourage others to contribute.
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!

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your mind is set on a new opportunity, but you do not yet have the finances to make it happen. See if you can find an investor or another way to fund the project. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, sometimes you have to take a challenging route even though you desire the easier path. The hard work will be worth it in the end, as you will see shortly. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Helping others is a big part of who you are, Sagittarius. Every effort you put forth will come back to you in time. Enjoy all the moments you have with others. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It’s difficult to fully explain just how busy you are, Capricorn. Start trimming your to-do list so you can maintain your energy and actively involve those around you. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s time to try a few new things, Aquarius. Try a hobby or activity that is out of your comfort zone. You may be surprised at how much this new hobby interests you. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 There’s only so long you can put off financial concerns before they become a big problem, Pisces. Start addressing things today.
