‘The Marvelous Students visit bank to learn about money Wonderettes’
branch on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville to learn about money and banking. The class visited the BMO Bank of Montreal branch not just on any day but on “Talk With Our Kids About If you want money, a bank is a Money Day” on Wednesday, April 20. This day features good place to go. So if you want to an educational program created by the Canadian Founknow about money, it makes sense dation for Economic Education in partnership with BMO Financial Group, helping students across Canada learn more about money and personal finances. At the BMO Bank of Montreal branch in Stittsville, the students heard what could be termed a “Banking 101”presentation led by branch manager Michael Posternak and assisted by several staff members. The students learned that a bank is simply a store that buys and sells money and that there are over 6,300 branches of various banks across Canada. Among the other topics discussed were credit cards, savings accounts, cheques and budgeting. Manager Posternak told the students about “wants” versus “needs.” A need is something that a person has budgeted for and needs in order to live. A want is something that is not planned for or budgeted for and which is not essential to live. If you say “yes” to all of your wants, it leads to a lot of borrowing, manager Posternak told the students. This could lead to falling behind in payments which means trouble. A missed payment could affect a person’s credit score and make additional borrowing more expensive or difficult to achieve. “Your credit rating is probably your most important JOHN CURRY/METROLAND asset, Posternak said. “You cannot borrow you way out of debt,” he said, adding that a good rule of thumb is that if you cannot Michael Posternak, branch manager of the BMO Bank of Montreal afford to pay off your entire credit card balance within branch on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, explains the inner workings of six months, you should reconsider whether the puran ATM machine to a group of students from Sacred Heart High School chase being made is a “want” or a “need.” John Curry

Summer Camp How to
Matt Barr
Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs. What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.) Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few. Here are some general considerations:
Your child’s interests What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her. If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child. Day camp versus overnight camp Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right.
Convenient location Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp.
Cost Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”.
3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common. A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want.
Research With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started:
4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory?
1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they? Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check?
8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children.
2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours?
9. How are different age groups divided?
5. What do you do on rainy days? Are your facilities air-conditioned? 6. Do the children swim every day? What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers?
11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a web-site? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card? The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision. After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.
7. Do you offer any discounts?
10. What if my child doesn’t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee? What is your cancellation policy?

Aileen subsequently contacted Lisa Hopkins, the former executive director of CEFO, and things got rolling for this upcoming production.

Indeed, Aileen has been involved with this musical right from its initial conception. It initially started over one and a half years ago when Aileen and former Sacred Heart High School music teacher Brian Boggs, who is now retired, both felt that “The Marvelous Wonderettes” had incredible music and was very humourous, making it well suited for a benefit show in support of the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa (CEFO), a registered charity whose objective is

Jennifer Quinn, an elementary school teacher in Stittsville, is helping out with the promotions for the musical. She and Aileen Szkwarek go way back together as Aileen says that one of her favourite theatre experiences was working with Miss Quinn in directing two children’s musicals at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville. This was when Aileen’s children were attending
Holy Spirit School and they are now beyond their teens. Chris Taylor of Richmond, who is a teacher at Mother Teresa Catholic High School, is the master carpenter for this “The Marvelous Wonderettes” musical. John Liska of Stittsville, who is also a teacher at Mother Teresa High School, will be helping out Chris Taylor with the sets, especially when they are being moved into the Gladstone Theatre for the production.

Cast members are seasoned performers Continued from page 4
Chris Taylor is being assisted by students at Mother Teresa High School both in building the sets as well as in doing some of the painting of the sets. Another Stittsville connection for this musical is the involvement of Matt Dawber, a Sacred Heart High School music teacher who will be a member of the band involved with the production. The four members of the cast of “The Marvelous Wonderettes” are all seasoned musical theatre performers. They include Nicole Tishler who recently played the eldest daughter in the Orpheus production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” She is playing the role of Cindy Lou. Jennifer Grimsey, who is a teacher in Orleans and is a Canterbury High School graduate, last appeared in the Orpheus production of “Anne of Green Gables.” She is playing the role of Missy. Stefania Wheelhouse, who is playing the role of Betty Jean, recently moved to Ottawa from Vancouver. She is a graduate of the Capilano School of Musical Theatre and she even played the same role in as Vancouver production of “The Marvelous Wonderettes.” Erin Connelly, who is playing the role of Suzy, is an Ottawa
Catholic School Board teacher who has performed in musical theatre productions. The musical “The Marvelous Wonderettes” revolves around The Wonderettes, four girls who are members of their high school’s Songleader squad. When the entertainment for the school’s1958 senior prom is suddenly unable to perform, The Wonderettes are called upon as a last minute replacement. As the girls perform at their prom and compete for the title of Prom Queen, the audience learns about their hopes, dreams and heartaches. In the second act of the musical, The Wonderettes reconnect at their class’ ten year reunion in 1968. The audience learns that the girls’ lives have taken very different directions and their relationships have had their ups and downs. But in the end, true friendship endures.

First-ever Jane’s Walk in Stittsville on May 7 Special to the News
Stittsville Main Street will be the focus of Stittsville’s first-ever Jane’s Walk on Saturday, May 7. Jane’s Walk Ottawa is a city-wide festival of neighbourhood walking tours led by local residents who care about where they live, work and play. The goal is to improve urban literacy by offering insights into local history, planning, design and civic engagement through walking and observing in the neighbourhood. Jane’s Walk is named after Jane Jacobs (1916-2006), a writer, urbanist and activist who championed a communitybased approach to organizing, designing and building cities. She advocated getting out and walking about as a key in understanding what would work best for an urban community.
Stittsville Main Street, the community’s traditional village main street, may be on the verge of a rebirth due to rapid population growth and a new “Community Design Plan” which has been approved for the street. Participants in this Jane’s Walk in Stittsville will hear about Stittsville Main Street’s role when Stittsville was a railway village and will see the street’s current role and status. There will be discussion about the opportunities and obstacles that are present now as the street begins a transformation into a walkable, people-oriented main street. This Jane’s Walk in Stittsville, hosted by Glen Gower who is vice-president of the Stittsville Village Association, will begin on Saturday, May 7 at 10 a.m. at Village Square Park at Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. The walk should last about 90 minutes.

OPINION

Code of conduct should not target dissent Ottawa Carleton District School Board chairwoman Shirley Seward and all but two trustees have finally got their code of conduct for school board trustees ready to bring the hammer down on those who don’t play well with others. There was really only one holdout when the board’s newly developed code of conduct was passed at a committee of the whole meeting, and that was trustee Donna Blackburn. The other trustee who didn’t support the code abstained from voting. The board takes an official vote on the matter on April 26. The fact Blackburn didn’t support the code after she made an attempt to make sure such a code could not be used to silence dissent was defeated is not surprising considering Blackburn, and some of the comments she has made in the past, have rubbed many of her colleagues the wrong way. Having a code of conduct for school board trustees seems perfectly reasonable, but the devil is in the details. And one detail of this code is the rather open ended definition of conduct the code
will police. Blackburn says she is worried the code will be used as a tool to silence dissent, and despite what Seward says, that’s a valid concern. “It’s the same set of behaviours we expect from our staff and our students,� Seward said. But there is a big difference between what is expected of staff and students and what should be expected of trustees who are elected representatives of the people. Yes it is perfectly reasonable to expect trustees to treat each other with respect, and have rules governing such things as harassment. But anything that even hints at being a means of stifling dissent is problematic. If Trustee A thinks a decision of Trustee B is wrong, they have every right, and in a democracy one can argue an obligation, to speak up and say so regardless of what other trustees think. And considering that Blackburn’s motion to clearly state that a difference of opinion is not subject to some code of conduct test, was defeated, that is a worrying sign of how this code of conduct can be used in the future.
Safe injection sites might meet everyone’s needs
I
t’s easy to understand why many people, including the mayor of Ottawa and the city’s chief of police, oppose a supervised injection site in the city. The idea goes against all logic: you want people to stop being addicted to drugs, but you provide a place where they can have access to them. It’s hard to get your head around that, yet many people have been able to do so, including reputable people in both the health and law enforcement fields, in Ottawa as well as elsewhere. They argue, most importantly, that safe injection sites save lives. They also point out that safe injection sites save money that would be spent dealing with people who overdose on the street or contract HIV and hepatitis C from infected needles. The arguments are persuasive

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town and they are backed up by examples, such as in Vancouver, where the safe injection site has worked well. But to move ahead with the plan in Ottawa influential people have to make the logical leap, accepting what seems to them a counter-intuitive proposal. But North American society has gone the counter-intuitive route before. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, political decision-makers in the U.S. and Canada dealt with a scourge of alcohol-related crime by ending the prohibition of alcohol.

for tougher enforcement, rather than the legalizing of alcohol, but alcohol was indeed legalized. You wouldn’t say all alcohol problems were eliminated, but many were. And of course we’re moving in the same direction with the federal government’s plans to legalize the use and sale of marijuana. Lots of people oppose that, fearing it will make the drug too readily available, particularly to young people. But proponents take the opposite position — namely, that legalizing marijuana will make it easier to control the supply and distribution and possibly even reduce consumption. The argument for safe injection sites is surely as logical as that, perhaps more so. At the core of each of these issues is the notion of harm reduction.

addiction — and we can’t eliminate it, try as we might. So we seek to minimize the damage. We regulate the sale of alcohol and impose certain restrictions on its consumption. Similar procedures will be put in place with regard to marijuana. The safe injection site idea follows similar logic. Ottawa’s mayor has argued, and he is not alone, that what is needed is not a safe injection site but more drug treatment centres, and that’s a good point. But the difficulty is getting addicts to those treatment centres in the first place. Perhaps the clinching argument is this: A safe injection site can also be a place where addicts are offered help from trained professionals to deal with their addictions. Not all of them will take advantage of that, but some will. Addicts don’t want to be addicts; 99 per cent of the time it’s not fun. But they need to get to a place away from the street where profesEDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $VSSZ KPIO DVSSZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +PIO #SVNNFMM KPIO CSVNNFMM!NFUSPMBOE DPN POLITICAL REPORTER: +FOOJGFS .D*OUPTI NDJOUPTI!NFUSPMBOE DPN THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 5:00 PM

Clothing collection bin now at Legion Special to the News
A clothing collection bin is now in place on the Stittsville Legion property on Stittsville Main Street. This is a partnership between the Stittsville Legion and the BIG BROTHERS and BIG SISTERS organization. Good used clothing donations will be most welcome for this new collection bin. SPECIAL EVENTS (All these special events are open to everyone in the community unless otherwise stated). A Mother’s Day Brunch will be held on Sunday, May 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Cost will be $12 per person. Children will be half price. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend. This Mother’s Day Brunch replaces the regular monthly breakfast which had been scheduled for Sunday, May 1 but which has now been cancelled. Volunteers and Legion members are wanted to help at a spring clean-up day at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Sunday, May 15 starting at 12 noon and running until 3 p.m. Bring along brooms, rakes and gloves. The “Comedy Night” scheduled for Saturday, May
Musical filled with songs from the 50’s and the 60’s Continued from page 5
The musical is filled with pop songs from the 50’s and 60’s but it also has an interesting story line and is filled with lots of humour. The songs sung in the musical include “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” “It’s My Party,” “Sincerely,” “Mr. Sandman,” “Leader Of The Pack,” and more. “The Marvelous Wonderettes” was originally created, written and directed by Roger Bean, playing at the off-Broadway Westside Theatre in New York from Sept. 2008 to Jan. 2010. The show was so popular that it is being brought back to Broadway, opening there on April 28. Tickets for this Broadway production are selling for $150 each and up (in U.S. dollars), so the ticket cost of $39 for adults for this upcoming production at the Gladstone Theatre in Ottawa is a real steal. And not only that but the proceeds are going to a good cause, the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa which works to relieve poverty in Ottawa Catholic School Board schools. This production of “The Marvellous Wonderettes” musical is being presented from Wednesday, May 11 to Saturday, May 14 at the Gladstone Theatre in Ottawa. Curtain time on all four performance days is 7:30 p.m. while there is also a Saturday matinee at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $39 for adults, $35 for seniors (age 65 years and over) and $25 for students (18 years of age and under). Tickets can be purchased online at thegladstone.ca or by phoning 613233-4523. With Mother’s Day coming up, tickets to this musical would make a great Mother’s Day gift. Roger Bean, who created “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” is a writer and director who specializes in jukebox musicals. “The Marvelous Wonderettes” was initially written for the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre where Bean created various other musicals utilizing established and lesser-known radio and popular hits. In 2007, “The Marvelous Wonderettes” received the Los Angeles Ovation Award for Best Musical Intimate Theatre and played a recordsetting 18 months at the el Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, California.
21 has been cancelled. WEEKLY EVENTS (Everyone in the community is welcome to attend these events unless otherwise stated) Euchre hosted by the Legion’s 55 Plus Club is played every Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Everyone is welcome to participate. An “Open Mic and Sing-a-long” with Bill Martin will be held every Friday starting at 8 p.m. in the downstairs lounge at the Legion Hall. Come and enjoy some country and some rock ‘n roll music. Everyone is welcome to attend. There is no cover charge. The Stittsville Legion’s website can be found at www.stittsvillelegion.com.

The construction season is nearly upon us. There are a number of projects that you will notice this summer as you make your way around Rideau-Goulbourn. Roads slated for resurfacing include: • Bridge Street • Moodie Drive (Brophy-Fallowfield) • Ottawa Street (West of Fortune) • Royal York Street (Fortune to Fowler) The Moodie Drive project will be conducted primarily between the hours of 7:00pm and 6:00am. The Rideau Valley Drive South project continues with the renewal of storm sewers, introduction of sidewalks and resurfacing from Dorack to Lockhead. Flewellyn Road, between Conley and Huntley, will be microsurfaced. This will help restore the road to its condition prior to the Enbridge pipeline project from 2014. Residents on along Mackey Road can expect to see some work this summer, as well, as the road is upgraded from gravel surface to a paved surface through surface treatment. This project will extend the existing paved surface from Viola Street to McCordick Road. Sidewalk projects include upgrading the sidewalk on Beaverwood Road, between Ann Street and Manotick Main Street as well as the renewal of the sidewalk on Roger Stevens Drive, west of Fourth Line Road. This project had been delayed from last year to this year because the scope of the project was larger than its budget. Also in North Gower, the replacement of the canteen at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre has already begun. Later this summer, the replacement of the play structure will also take place. The much discussed Manotick Arena expansion is moving forward with design and tendering to occur this year and construction slated for 2017. These are just the construction projects slated to occur within Rideau-Goulbourn. In a future column, I’ll highlight projects outside of the ward that may be of interest or may impact your commute. Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee Our May 5th meeting of ARAC contains a very light agenda. There is a floodplain mapping report that was deferred from our last meeting, a presentation on the Ottawa Rural Clean Water Grants Program, a presentation on the 2016 Canadian Plowing Championships and two items that I put forward as Notices of Motion at our April 15th ARAC meeting. One item again asks the Province to give municipalities more authority on land use planning as it relates to renewable energy projects and the other directs staff to correct a zoning anomaly on several Dwyer Hill Road properties. As usual, we meet at Ben Franklin Place at 10:00am. April 13th Council Meeting In last week’s column, I promised to shed light on a couple of recent votes at Council. The votes were on a traffic congestion report and the Pet Shop By-Law. Due to word count restraints in this column, I am unable to include my c o m m e n t s here.

Talking with students about money at BMO bank branch Continued from page 1
Various types of accounts were discussed, including a chequing account, a savings account and even a Registered Education Savings Plan. The students were advised to discuss their banking needs with their parents, first and foremost, and perhaps as well with a school guidance counsellor, a teacher or those at a local bank branch. At this new BMO Bank of Monteal branch on Hazeldean Road, money is dispensed by machines including two ATM’s, each of which can hold $80,000 when full. The students were given a tour inside a small room where the back of an ATM machine was opened up to show the workings of the machine. This is where a customer’s card is retrieved by bank staff if the customer happens to forget the card in the machine after a transaction. Students were also shown a teller’s station and how the computerized terminal there assists a teller in helping a customer. The students were also shown an example of a money order and bank draft. Each of the students was given a personalized certificate to commemorate this visit to the BMO Bank of Montreal branch on “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day.” In addition, each student received a two dollar Tim
Hortons gift card as well as a package of promotional materials from the branch. There were also some Timbits available which the students got to enjoy. Manager Posternak said that this is the first time that this BMO Bank of Montreal branch has participated in the “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day.” The branch approached Sacred Heart High School with a grade ten class indicating interest in participating in such an excursion to the bank. It is estimated that about 600,000 students across Canada participated in this “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day” on April 20. “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day” was launched in Toronto and Montreal schools in 2013 and since then the program has expanded to include about 4,000 schools across Canada. The goal of the program is to teach students about financial literacy and to help them learn about money and personal finances. The Canadian Foundation for Economic Education (CFEE) is a federally chartered, non-profit organization founded in 1974. It works to improve economic and financial literacy. The BMO Financial Group, which supports this CFEE program, provides a wide range of retail banking, wealth management and investment banking products and services to more than 12 million customers.

‘Market Moment’ at Brown’s YIG sees grocery giveaway John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Silver confetti rained down over the cashier check out area at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Friday, April 22 at 3:28 p.m. It was a gala grocery giveaway “Market Moment” at the Stittsville store. Todd Brown of Brown’s YIG had just announced that all those shoppers within the cashier check out area would be getting their groceries free (up to $250 in value). “Congratulations! This is your Market Moment,” he told the surprised costumers as he stood at the railing of the store’s second floor balcony from where he made the announcement over the store’s public address system. He told the customers that the “Market Moments” program was a way of thanking the store’s regular customers for their support. And after he made the announcement, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, which had been singing a number of tunes from the same second floor balcony from which Todd made the “Market Moment” announcement, burst into the singing of “What A Wonderful World,” that 1967 song by American singer/trumpeter Louis Armstrong which has a hopeful, optimistic tone as indicated by its title. Indeed, the Louis Armstrong recording of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
And it was indeed a “wonderful world” at that moment for those lucky shoppers who got their groceries for free. This “Market Moment” giveaway of groceries had been kept a secret, with the store staff not knowing until the last moment. Indeed, Todd Brown himself only knew that this would be happening a day and a half before. On the day before, he arranged for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus to perform on the balcony at the store in the minutes leading up to his “Market Moment” announcement. The Ladies Chorus scrambled to get enough singers together on such late notice but it happened and the singers sang a number of songs from the balcony of the store before Todd took over the spotlight with his announcement, complete with the rainfall of confetti. This was all part of a month-long “Market Moments” program by Loblaws and its associated banners like YIG where customers are approached randomly in the store and given products and coupons for free items. Giving away free groceries is one aspect of this “Market Moments” campaign. This “Market Moments” program started with just three stores involved and has now spread to more than 100 stores across Canada, with one million “Market Moments” ranging in size and spectacle happening. The program delivers moments of surprise, sharing, appreciation and unforgettable memories like the grocery giveaway
at Brown’s YIG. Todd thanked the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus for being a part of this major “Market Moment” at his store.
He said that he would be making a donation to the choir to show his appreciation for their participation in the event.

“Slow Down for Us” Signs from Safer Roads Ottawa As a part of the Safer Roads Ottawa program I am once again offering residents the opportunity to participate in the Slow Down for Us campaign. Slow Down for Us is a temporary signage posting campaign. It is geared towards drawing attention to and educating motorists on the local residential streets to be aware of children at play. It alerts drivers to be more conscious and responsible to obey the speed limits that are put into place. This program receives enforcement support from the Ottawa Police Service accordingly. Upon my request to have the Stittsville community participate in the Slow Down for Us project, Safer Roads Ottawa has provided my office with signs to be posted for a period of 30 to 60 days on the City easement portion of resident’s property. The Safer Roads Ottawa Program is a leading partnership between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department. The Program is committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the City of Ottawa, through culture change, community engagement and the development of a sustainable safe transportation environment.

Ladies Chorus makes performance happen in 24 hours John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Just 24 hours. That’s all the time that elapsed between initial contact and successful completion of what turned out to be the quickest performance ever pulled together by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. It was all part of the participation by the Ladies Chorus in the “Market Moments” surprise event at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville on Friday afternoon, April 22 when Brown’s YIG awarded free groceries to all of the shoppers in the checkout area of the store at the moment of the in-store announcement at 3:28 p.m. But for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, this whole experience began just 24 hours earlier on Thursday, April 21 just before 4 p.m. when its director Robert Dueck of Stittsville, who was shopping at the store, was approached by owner Todd Brown and asked how quickly the Ladies Chorus could pull together a group to perform at a special “surprise” event at the store at 3 p.m. the following day. Having no idea what the special “surprise” event was but not one to turn down a challenge, Robert immediately rushed home and began a hectic few hours to determine if enough singers from all voice parts of the Ladies Chorus could be assembled and prepared to perform at the “surprise” event happening in just 24 hours’ time. He first contacted the group’s accompanist Peter Brown who lives in Lanark to determine his availability. With that confirmed, he then contacted Ladies Chorus president Maxine Mercer and so began the process of contacting Ladies Chorus singers to determine their availability for the performance. The Ladies Chorus’ “phone tree,” usually used for notifying singers if a rehearsal is cancelled due to inclement weather, was activated to try to line up enough singers to make the sing-out possible. By about 10 p.m., 17 singers had confirmed participation, making the performance “a go.” Friday morning saw half of the 36 member Ladies Chorus arranged for
the performance and Robert working on a possible program of songs to be sung. But this was only part of the process – the songs still had to be rehearsed and so the singers assembled at 1:45 p.m. on Friday at the Dueck home in Stittsville to go over the songs to be sung, some of which had not been sung by the group for two years. But the group’s growing repertoire of songs that it has performed gave plenty of scope and a program of 12 songs was prepared. At 2:45 p.m., the singers left for Brown’s YIG on Stittsville Main Street, assembling in the upper meeting room at the store, prepared to sing but still not knowing what the “surprise” event that was happening was all about. Just before 3 p.m., they were told by Todd Brown that their performance was part of the store’s participation in Loblaws “Market Moments” campaign, a national four-week program in which customers are approached at random in the store and given prizes. But for this particular “Market Moment,” all of the shoppers in the check-out area at a particular moment would be receiving their groceries free. Todd thanked the Ladies Chorus for assembling for this performance on such short notice and he said that he would be making a donation to the group in appreciation of their involvement in the “surprise” event. He also asked that the song “What A Wonderful World,” a song first made famous by American singer/trumpeter Louis Armstrong in 1967 and which had since become a standard recorded by many performers, be sung by the Ladies Chorus immediately following his announcement about the free groceries. Now knowing what the “surprise” event was all about, the Ladies Chorus singers took their places for the 3 p.m. opening number of their sudden, “flash mob” type performance at the store. The first sopranos waited in one area of the store’s second floor balcony area, the second sopranos assembled at another area and the altos gathered on the steps leading to the balcony area and at 3 p.m. they all started singing the initial tune for the performance, Java Jive, the 1940 hit by the Ameri-

can pop vocal group The Ink Spots that’s all about the love of coffee. The singers all assembled around a keyboard on the store’s second floor balcony above the check out cashiers area and continued their performance, with Peter Brown and director Dueck at the keyboard. The musical sounds of the Ladies Chorus wafted through the store as the group continued with other songs such as “Chapel of Love,” “Sugartime” and “Sentimental Journey,” all causing some shoppers to pause and look up at the singers lined up along the balcony railing. There was even applause, including from some of the cashiers. Then the big moment arrived and Todd Brown, also standing at the railing of the second floor balcony near the Ladies Chorus, made his announcement about the store’s “Market Moment” with all shoppers in the store’s check out area at that moment to receive their groceries (up to $250 in value) for free as a way of thanking regular customers for their support. As he made the announcement at 3:28 p.m., silver confetti rained down over the cashier check out area and the Ladies Chorus burst into the song “What A Wonderful World.” And at that moment, it indeed was “A Wonderful World” for those shoppers who so unexpectedly were receiving their grocery purchases for free. And so, at 3:37 p.m., the Ladies Chorus concluded their singing and it was all over – the end of what turned out to be a hurried but exciting 24 hours for the singing group. Director Dueck was pleased that the repertoire of songs that the Ladies Chorus has now built up is varied enough that this hastily-arranged performance at Brown’s YIG was able to include such songs as the upbeat “Chapel of Love” which the group had not performed for two years and the ever-popular “Sentimental Journey,” not to mention that Todd Brown-requested song, “What A Wonderful World.” And now this coming Saturday, April 30, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be performing again, only this time with a performance arranged and prepared not over a short 24 hour time period but over several months as the group is presenting its annual spring concert at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata. For this concert, the Ladies Chorus has been practising twice a week to perfect the songs that will be presented in the concert. In addition, the Ladies Chorus has been participating in a number of sing outs at local retirement residences and seniors groups in preparation for the upcoming concert. See SPRING CONCERT, page 13

City policy allows road hockey; city bylaw prohibits road games john.curry@metroland.com
To play road hockey or not to play road hockey. With apologies to William Shakespeare and the famous opening line “To be or not to be” in a soliloquy in his play “Hamlet,” this was the question that caused a social media flurry in Stittsville and beyond last week. It all had its beginnings when a resident placed a so-called turtle sign on the street to slow down traffic on Denali Way, a street in the Jackson Trails community in Stittsville, making it safer for children to play outside. In addition, a number of orange cones then appeared across one end of the street, obstructing access. And then the debate began, with posts on social media including the Stittsville Moms page and other Facebook pages, some defending the actions and some against what happened, citing the need for vehicular access and the hazard of placing such items on the street, blocking access and possibly hindering vehicular access. But this debate then evolved into whether youngsters should be playing road hockey on the street. And that’s where it gets confusing because of the city of Ottawa’s position on playing road hockey on the street. The provincial Highway Traffic Act prohibits the use of streets for sporting
activities. City of Ottawa bylaws must be consistent with the provincial law and so the city’s bylaw contains a provision which “prohibits a person from playing or taking part in any game or sport upon a roadway.” Pretty clear, you would think, with enforcement done on a complaint basis, just like most city bylaws. Enforcement generally consists of education, mediation and warnings rather than bylaw charges. But back in 2007, city council adopted a policy allowing the playing of ball hockey on city streets as long as the free flow of traffic is maintained. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was on city council at the time, supported this policy which also allows hop scotch and basketball to take place on streets as well. So, there you have it. A bylaw says one thing; city policy says another. Councillor Qadri admits that youngsters can play road hockey in Ottawa as long as they do not impede the flow of traffic, meaning that any net should be moved when a vehicle approaches and the players should allow the vehicle to pass. Indeed, councillor Qadri has reflected on his days as a youth growing up in Ottawa playing ball hockey and broomball on a residential street, calling such reflections “some of my best memories.” But he also wants to ensure safety for drivers and children playing around streets. That’s why he was out last Saturday distributing about 45 “Slow Down For

Us” signs to homeowners to place on their front lawns. This is a campaign implemented by Safer Roads Ottawa that sees signage urging drivers to slow down on residential streets and keep an eye out for youngsters who may be playing on or around the road. Councillor Qadri has distributed such signs in various areas of Stittsville in the past and he continues to support and encourage this “Slow Down For Us” campaign. He readily admits that speeding and distracted driving on residential streets is a concern these days and this “Slow Down For Us” campaign is meant to alert drivers to obey speed limits and be cautious when
driving on residential streets. It is somewhat ironic that this community debate last week involved road hockey because it was just last September when Stittsville was in the news when four Ottawa Senators players played road hockey with a group of Stittsville youngsters who had rung their doorbell as the four were watching football on television. The four – Curtis Lazar, Mark Stone, Chris Wideman and Alex Chiasson – abandoned the television and played road hockey with the youngsters, reviving their own memories of playing road hockey when they were kids themselves.

Four palm trees have now sprouted in Stittsville United Church. Two of them have appeared among the pews while another two are in the front sanctuary area. In addition, there is now a throne at the front of the church, surrounded by palatial trappings. No, the Stittsville United Church has not adopted a new look. Rather, these are some of the props which are now set up for the presentation of the church’s annual spring musical entitled “Rescue in the Night” which is being presented this coming Saturday and Sunday at the church on Fernbank Road. Indeed, in this musical, ancient Babylon, with all of its hanging gardens, water fountains and even the famous Ishtar Gate, is being replicated in the sanctuary of Stittsville United Church. The musical will feature lots of cats and lions in King Darius’ palace in the ancient gated city of Babylon. King Darius happens to have three advisors who are plotting against Daniel who also lives in the palace and is a special advisor to the King. So the plot of the musical is set. The famous Ishtar Gate is one of the eight gates of the ancient inner city of Babylon. It was an awesome gate which has been reconstructed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin out of material excavated at the ancient site. It is now being reconstructed at Stittsville United Church for this musical production. This musical “Rescue in the Night” will be presented at the church this Saturday, April 30 at 7 p.m. and again this Sunday, May 1 at both 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. There is no admission charge but a free will offering will be taken up during the show. This musical will show a lot about the ancient city of Babylon and the exiled Jewish people. Modern musical songs have been added to the story to offer a blend of ancient history and the music of today in the production.
A big-leafed palm tree stands among the co n g re g at i o n sitting in the pews at Stittsville United Church in Stittsville last Sunday morning. The four palm trees are props for the musical at the church this weekend.

The Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor Foundation
AGH nurses confirm new equipment’s value in quality patient care I
f you wonder how new technology and updated equipment really improve the quality of patient care, ask Chelsea Gibb or Sue Abernathy. Both nurses at Almonte General Hospital are working with new equipment purchased with funds from the AGH-FVM Foundation. Gibb, who has worked for more than five years in AGH’s Medical-Surgical Unit, says the hospital’s new BVI 9400 Bladderscan machine has improved not only her own nursing experience but, more importantly, the quality of care for her patients. A bladder scanner can monitor bladder function and measure urine retention in patients recovering from surgery, as well as patients with a variety of chronic or acute conditions, particularly the elderly, and obstetrical patients in post-delivery. It also helps to evaluate the need for catheterization to collect fluid. AGH’s new 3D ultrasound machine, says Gibb, has revolutionized how she checks her patients’ bladder function. “The new machine takes only a minute to use. It’s non-invasive and it measures urinary bladder volume and the post-void residual.” The machine’s ultrasound technology also helps to locate the bladder and get a trustworthy result. With the older machine, nurses took more readings to get an accurate result and sometimes resorted to the insertion of a catheter to determine urine retention, Gibb says.
“The new machine reduces unnecessary catheterizations that can cause discomfort and embarrassment for patients,” Gibb adds. “It also reduces the risk of urinary tract or bladder infections, or other complications, from unnecessary catheterizations.” Meanwhile, Sue Abernethy says a new blood/fluid warmer purchased for the hospital’s Emergency and Perioperative Departments is an essential piece of equipment. The blood warmer, says Abernethy, is used to help prevent hypothermic shock, as well as hypovolemic shock, in a patient, who is in a compromised state and requires an immediate blood transfusion. Stable patients can receive blood directly from the refrigerator, where blood supplies are stored. But critical cases are at risk of being cooled too much (hypothermia) by unwarmed blood or going into shock from loss of too much blood (hypovolemia), Abernethy says. “The blood warmer can warm blood to between 37 and 42 degrees Celsius, and pump blood into the recipient’s system rapidly,” says Abernethy, who has worked in AGH’s Emergency Department for more than 20 years. “In urgent situations, whether in the Emergency Department or the Operating Room, the blood warmer works quickly to provide a seamless transfusion.” …Continued on page 4

AGH/FVM golf tourney Monday, June 6
T
he Almonte General Hospital’s 2016 Annual Golf Classic, set for Monday, June 6, at the Canadian Golf and Country Club, is presented as a “big thank you” this year, says Joy Delahunt, chair of the organizing committee. “We want to thank everyone who contributes to this annual event, from the golf players to the sponsors, and everyone who works on the planning, organizing and the game itself,” says Delahunt. The golf tourney, now in its 14th year, is the main fundraiser for the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor (AGHFVM) Foundation. Delahunt, who has chaired the event’s organizing
committee for two years now, has a personal reason for thanking Foundation donors this year. “A few weeks ago, my husband was rushed to the AGH Emergency Department and received life-saving care. That showed me, more than ever, how important it is to have excellent hospital care available to us in our community and so close to home. And I think it’s important that donors to the Foundation realize how much their contributions are helping AGH to provide that excellent care.” This year’s event has a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m., says Delahunt, and it will be bigger and better than ever. “The event includes a barbecue lunch, 18 holes

of golf with a shared cart, a steak dinner, as well as both a silent and live auction, and a 50-50 draw,” adds Delahunt, who is also a member of the AGH-FVM Foundation Board of Directors. “There also will be lots of games and prizes to hand out throughout the event, as well as a swag bag of gifts.” Mary Wilson Trider, President and CEO of AGH, agrees that Foundation donors play a large part in funding the health care services that AGH provides in the community. “Funds from the Foundation help to pay for a wide range of equipment that improves the care we provide at AGH and the Fairview Manor,” Wilson …Continued on page 4

All the comforts of home at Fairview Manor M
uriel Currie is knitting afghans for her two granddaughters, a project that she says will take “months and months” to complete. Meanwhile, Doris Cochran prefers reading when she has time between her exercise classes or other scheduled activities. Both long-time residents of Fairview Manor say they have lots to keep themselves occupied. “It’s hard to lose your friends and your loved ones as you age,” says Doris Cochran, 93. “But you need to be tough, and you need to look after yourself and keep going.” That’s why Cochran moved into FVM 12 years ago. “After my husband died in 2002, I stayed in our home for two years (on a property outside Almonte where the couple had retired). But then I decided I wanted to be in a place where I felt safe, where I didn’t have worries and where I could enjoy life.” The obvious choice for Cochran was Fairview Manor. Although she and her husband had lived in Toronto and Ottawa, and their two daughters still lived in Toronto, Cochran felt most comfortable in Almonte where she had grown up, and still had some family and friends close by. Also, she says, “My daughters looked for places in Toronto, but there was nothing comparable to Fairview Manor.” Currie, 84, moved into FVM 10 years ago after suffering a fall that required a long rehabilitation period and resulted in limited mobility. She now uses a motorized wheelchair and shares a double room with her husband, George, who came to FVM after suffering a stroke. The Curries had lived on a farm west of Almonte since they were married. Now their son, Kevin, and his family live there. Currie notes that one of the advantages of living at FVM is that “we are so close to my son and his family, and we can go out to visit them.” Over the years, FVM has become “home sweet home” to both Cochran and Currie, and they each have established regular routines that keep them busy and content. Cochran attends exercise class every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. She also reads a lot, including the daily Citizen, and she loves crossword puzzles. “You have to keep your body and
included five quilts for the beds at her son’s house. Another of her specialties, Currie says, are mittens, which she describes as “extra thick and extra warm.” When not working on her hobbies, Currie participates in various FVM activities. The weekly Bingo game is one of her favourites. She actually won a recent game, though she had to share the five-dollar jackpot with another player. Currie says she didn’t mind. “It was better than a kick in the pants,” she laughs. Currie also makes time for her duties as president of the FVM Residents’ Council, which meets monthly to discuss topics of interest to the residents. Asked what issues might be discussed, Currie says food sometimes comes up. “Everybody has their own likes and dislikes,” she shrugs, “but you can’t please everybody all the time.” Cochran agrees. “I need a special diet. So I’m happy that the staff prepares food that fits my diet.” And that brings both women back to why they live at Fairview Manor. “We feel fortunate to have the staff to help us. They are very good to us. And we get everything we need,” Cochran says.
Resident Muriel Currie mind active,” says Cochran, who also takes advantage of the Manor’s various entertainment nights, and enjoys weekly Bingo events, as well as board games like Scrabble and Horse Races. Outings on the FVM bus are also on Cochran’s list of favourite activities. She also attends FVM’s cooking sessions when staff and residents gather to bake cookies, or prepare preserves for the annual fundraising bazaar in November. “We make everything from strawberry and raspberry jam to jellies and all sorts of pickles.” Although Currie participates in many of FVM’s scheduled activities, her main interest right now is knitting the afghans for her two granddaughters. It’s a big project, so she keeps her needles close at hand. In the double room that she shares with her husband, some of Currie’s other projects are on display, including some handmade quilts. Other projects, she says, have

The Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor Foundation
Making the tough choices: what equipment to buy? A
lmonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor are committed to providing the highest possible quality of care to patients and residents, while keeping pace with changing community needs and technological advances. There is a continuous need to update, replace and add new equipment to maintain the quality of services in this dynamic health care environment. Tough decisions must be made each year about what equipment to purchase to best meet the most urgent needs of patients and residents. These decisions are based on a rigorous consultation process. Early each year managers and directors across the Hospital and Fairview Manor consult with their staff and Medical staff to identify equipment that must be replaced, as well as new equipment, to meet evolving patient and resident care needs. Requests from each unit and department are then submitted to the Senior Management Team. If the sum of the requests exceeds the budgeted dollars available, the
AGH’S SCORECARD:
Medical Advisory Committee is asked for advice on prioritizing the requests. The prioritized list is then presented to the AGH’s Board of Directors for approval as the capital budget for the upcoming year. Once the budget has been approved, the list of needed equipment is provided to the AGH-FVM Foundation. The Foundation may raise funds to purchase the equipment through designated or undesignated gifts from individuals or organizations, as well as a variety of fundraising activities, including the annual AGH Golf Classic. “The needs of our patients and residents are of utmost importance in determining our capital equipment budget priorities,” says AGH President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “And we depend on the AGH-FVM Foundation to work with the generous community to raise funds to make these critical purchases. We are truly grateful to those who donate to the AGH-FVM Foundation. Donors help us to provide the best possible health care in our community close to home.”
Leaving a family legacy L
iterally hundreds of families served by the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor have long standing histories with both community institutions. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and grandchildren have all been born at AGH, cared for, and then may eventually or have already become residents of FVM. Recognizing and celebrating this legacy of family health care is becoming more and more important to many. Arranging a legacy or planned gift is a way to ensure that the excellent patient care for family members, neighbours and friends continues for many years to come. While the AGH-FVM Foundation strongly encourages you to seek professional legal and financial advice when planning your estate, we will do everything we can to assist you in creating a meaningful gift. …Continued on page 4

Leaving a family legacy
Nurse Sue Abernethy with the new blood/fluid warmer
…Continued from page 3 BEQUESTS One of the easiest and most powerful ways to invest in the future of health care for your family and in your community is through a bequest in your will. According to Foundation Managing Director Al Roberts, “A bequest is a gift specified in a will of either a specific amount of money, a percentage of the estate, a particular asset, or the residue of the estate. Including an estate gift in a will may also help provide tax relief so the Hospital or Manor receive a gift and the ‘tax man’ receives less.” To leave a bequest to Almonte General Hospital or Fairview Manor Foundation in your will, speak to your lawyer or financial planner to let them
know your wishes. We encourage those who have made bequests to the Hospital or Manor to notify the Foundation. Your bequest will be kept in strict confidence, but will allow us to properly recognize your gift during your lifetime, and ensure that your gift is designated in accordance with your wishes. Legacy gifts may be recognized through special plaques, garden stones and/or on the Foundation’s donor wall, all of which provide special memories for years to come. For more information (and with absolutely no obligation), please contact the Foundation at 613-256-2500, ext. 2297.
AGH nurses confirm new equipment’s value in quality patient care …Continued from page 1 Abernethy adds that “the new machine is user friendly, and it’s essential to a critical care area to ensure the best possible outcome for patients needing transfusions.” The new Hotline model, which replaces an older machine, uses a triple lumen tubing. The blood is carried in a sterile inner tube while warm water circulates in the outer tubing. The device not
only regulates the blood’s temperature, but also the speed of flow to the patient, says Abernethy. And that improves the quality of patient care, she says. “It is good to have a new and reliable machine again. It is the only piece of machinery we have that is capable of warming blood for transfusion.”
Golf tourney on Monday, June 6 …Continued from page 1 Trider says. “Foundation donors and sponsors of our fundraising events certainly deserve our appreciation. And the tournament is a great way for members of the community to enjoy a fun activity, while contributing to quality health care in our community.” Golf is $125. Dinner is $45. Several opportunities still also exist for major and hole sponsorships.

Santolina Street in the new Poole Creek Village subdivision on the east side of Johnwoods Street have been constructed and are available for traffic. This public meeting about this proposal is being held this coming Wednesday, May 4 with an open house taking place starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a presentation about the proposal at 7 p.m. in the upper hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. Johnwoods Street currently runs from Hazeldean Road north to Maple Grove Road.

Converting the northern portion of Johnwoods Street in Stittsville into a pedestrian and cyclist pathway will be the subject of a public meeting on Wednesday, May 4. The meeting will be a community information and comment session regarding this city of Ottawa proposal to convert the segment of Johnwoods Street between Rosehill Avenue and Maple Grove Road into a pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. This would involve the removal of the current asphalt roadway which would be replaced by a three-metre wide recreational pathway. There would be no more vehicular traffic.

was extreme controversy in the community about traffic on Johnwoods Streets as it was being used as a route to reach the new Palladium (now Canadian Tire Centre) arena. Speed bumps which still are in place on the street closer to Hazeldean Road were installed to slow down the traffic along Johnwoods Street. The opening of Huntmar Drive with the development of the Fairwinds community provided an alternative route to the Canadian Tire Centre and other areas such as the Palladium Auto Park, providing an alternative to the use of Johnwoods Street. But Johnwoods Street is still a major access street for the Bryanston Gate subdivision as well as for the new Poole Creek Village development.
Jubilee Singers’ spring concert Jack MacLaren nature, will be featured in the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers’ spring concert. This concert, entitled “Sing A Song Of Nature,” will be presented on Saturday, May 7 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road near Huntmar
Drive. Nature is a key ingredient to the identity of Canadians including the music that is created. It reflects the four distinct seasons that Canadians enjoy. Nature can be a thing of beauty and renewal or it can be harsh and unrelenting. But it is always inspiring. This concert, “Sing A Song Of Nature,” will present this relationship between music and na-
ture by presenting music not only from Canada but from around the world. Tickets for this concert are $15 for adults and $10 for children or seniors. Tickets are available from any member of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or are available via email at GJSingers@outlook.com or through the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers website at www. gjsingers.com.

‘Kick off ’ assembly for Jump Rope for Heart at A. Lorne Cassidy John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Heart and Stroke Foundation wants to involve one million student skippers in its Jump Rope for Heart program this year. Last year, students in over 4,000 schools across Canada, totalling 955,000 students, took part in Jump Rope for Heart events. This year the aim is to try to have one million students involved, Jennifer Capogreco, a program coordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, told an assembly of students and staff at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville at the school’s April 18 “kick off ” of its Jump Rope for Heart program for this year. Students will now be canvassing friends and family to collect monetary pledges before the school’s Jump Rope for Heart event coming up on Friday, May 6. At the kick off assembly, Ms. Capogreco, assisted by Moe Baja, showed a video about Jump Rope for Heart. The program has raised over $10 million for the Heart and Stroke Foundation over the past 30 years. Ms. Capogreco pointed out that not only are skipping and other Jump Rope for Heart activities such as tug-of-war and leap frog fun to do but they involve beneficial physical activity and also are a way of helping others by raising funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation which works to combat heart disease and stroke.
Funds raised in the Jump Rope for Heart event go to help research into heart disease and also go to provide defibrillators for public spaces. A. Lorne Cassidy teacher Debbie Roberts told the assembled students that when a person helps others, it makes the person feel good about themselves and also about those around them. The Jump Rope for Heart fundraising goal at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville this year is $8,500. Students from junior kindergarten to grade six participate in the program. Various “thank you” prizes are available for students as they reach certain levels of fundraising – for example, a free skipping rope at the $5 level. There are soccer balls, gift cards and even three-wheel scooters available. At the assembly, the students all recited the Jump Rope for Heart pledge, led by Moe Baja from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The pledge includes the promise that “I promise to have fun by jumping rope…to raise money to help everyone.” A video was shown of a dog skipping rope, showing the assembled students that anyone, even a dog, can jump rope. There was also a video shown of a skipping team performing on the TV show “America’s Got Talent.” And it was not just left up to videos to show the students the fun that skipping can be. The A.L.C. skipping demo team pre-
sented a demonstration at the assembly that featured various aspects of skipping, all done in an upbeat way. The student demo team’s performance was followed by various teachers showing their skipping talents, much to the delight
of the assembled students. This even included school principal Andrew Canham. The students will now be collecting pledges as they prepare to take part in the school’s Jump Rope for Heart event on Friday, May 6.

Hair Donation Ottawa fundraiser raises $96,000 for cancer research John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The April 17th Hair Donation Ottawa cancer research fundraiser saw $96,000 raised. The proceeds from this sixth annual fundraiser will be going to assist in cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and at the CHEO Research Institute. This year’s $96,000 adds to the over $250,000 which Hair Donation Ottawa has raised for cancer research in the previous five years since its formation in 2011. In addition, thousands of inches of hair have been collected at the event to make wigs for cancer patients. Hair Donation Ottawa’s 30 Stittsville News - Thursday, April 28, 2016
annual cancer research fundraiser sees participants raise funds through pledges for donating their hair and/ or shaving their heads at the event. In return, participants receive a wash, cut and style or shave thanks to the involvement of hair stylists from various Ottawa area salons as well as the staff and students from the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Program. The fundraiser is held at Algonquin College. Two annual $500 bursaries to help financially challenged Algonquin College Hair Stylist Program students with the costs related to their education are funded by Hair Donation Ottawa. Hair donations of a suit-
able length go towards the manufacture of about ten free wigs a year for financially challenged children in the Ottawa area who are experiencing hair loss due to medical treatment. All hair unsuitable for wig making is sent to support Green Circle Salons in the making of hair booms for oil spills around the world. Hair Donation Ottawa was founded in 2011 by Helene Hutchings who was diagnosed and treated for cancer at The Ottawa Hospital in 2010. Helene, who is a realtor in Stittsville, began the fundraiser in Stittsville with the location switching to Algonquin College as the event grew in numbers.

Jubilee Singers sing at church John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers provided music at the worship service at Stittsville United Church last Sunday morning, April 24. But the regular Stittsville United Church choir, while not providing the music for the service, still had a role to play as the choir members provided the refreshments served at the postservice fellowship time in the basement hall at the church. Twenty-four members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, under the direction of Linda Crawford and accompanied on the keyboard by Bonnie McDiarmid, sang “All Things Bright and Beautiful” prior to Rev. Grant Dillenbeck’s sermon entitled “The Same Old New Vision.” The Jubilee Singers also
sang “Northern Lights” in Latin during the offertory. In addition, the Jubilee Singers accompanied the members of the congregation as they all sang “I See A New Heaven” together following the sermon. Jubilee Singers accompanist Bonnie McDiarmid and the church’s music director Allison Houston played an piano and organ duet together as a prelude to the worship service and they also did the same thing as a postlude after the end of the service. This is the first of two consecutive Sundays in which special music will fill Stittsville United Church. This coming Sunday, the musical “Rescue in the Night” telling the story of Daniel in Babylon in music will be presented at the Stittsville United Church at both 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. And, if neither of these times are good for you, you
could attend the musical on the Saturday night, April 30 at 7 p.m. Indeed, the Saturday evening presentation has the added attraction that it is also a Dessert Theatre experience, with homemade baked pie being served. Everyone is welcome to attend any one of these “Rescue in the Night” presentations. Admission is free although a free will offering will be taken up. As for the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, the Jubilee Singers and the group’s two associated groups, the GJS Teens and the Junior Jubilees youth choir, are presenting a concert entitled “Sing A Song of Nature” on Saturday, May 7 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and youth.

Vendors provide variety of offerings ranging from candles to jewellery Continued from page 38
There was a constant din in the hall for the threehour evening event as vendors chatted about their products and/or services with possible customers. Among the offerings from vendors at this “Ladies Night Out” were scented candles, jewellery, cosmetics, pottery, coffee, reiki, children’s clothing, 3D fiber lashes, soap, handbags, leggings and more. Among the vendors was Baila Dicker of “The Jewellery Tree,” selling hand-made jewellery. Baila, who makes all of the jewellery herself, explained that a person has to be passionate about what he or she does in order to be able to produce the wide and varied selection of jewellery which she was offering at her table at the event. Connie Holm of Stittsville’s Spa Olivia had a gameof-chance type wheel set up at her table which people could spin, with a number of spa services such as a brow wax or a bikini wax possible for winning depending on where the wheel stopped.

The Spa Olivia table was set up beside the Creative Edge Dance Academy table which was not a coincidence because the two cooperate, combining their services for dance parties. The Creative Edge Dance Academy, located on Carp Road just north of Richardson Sideroad, is completing its first year in business, offering both competitive and recreational dance opportunities for youth from ages 2 through 17 years. For the upcoming 2016-2017 season, the Creative Edge Dance Academy will be of-

Three weeks ago I was at a retail store and tripped over a box on the floor. I fell and broke my ankle. Today an Insurance adjuster called me. He said I was responsible to look where I was walking but he offered me $5000.00 to help me out as I have been off work. I am on sick leave and have not lost any income. Is there any reason not to just take the money? Plenty of Reason. Leaving aside what happened, and what you might be entitled to recover as a result of your injuries, it is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer before taking a settlement proposed by an insurance company. Insurance adjusters work for Insurance companies and they do not approach a settlement based on what you are entitled to. They offer money based on the risk of what you might receive by way of an award. Generally, they will try and settle a claim or potential claim for as little as they reasonable can in order to close off a risk. Consultation. A lawyer will work for you. Many lawyers offer a free consultation. I find I ask a lot of questions and

do a lot of listening during a consultation. I try to give my client an understanding of the legal issues arising in their circumstances, and what the options are going forward. Assert your rights. Over the years I have come to understand that people almost always benefit from at least consulting with a lawyer before trying to settle with an insurance company. There is a significant imbalance between a lone individual and a huge insurance company. A lawyer has the knowledge to help level the playing field. In my experience insurers will see a greater risk when dealing with an injured person who is represented by a lawyer. Greater risk to insurers leads to better settlements.

State-of-the-art facility will extend life of landfills John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It could be the most technologically advanced facility of its kind in North America. The new, soon-to-open Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre off Carp Road just north of Richardson Sideroad will have the capability to divert more than 110,000 tonnes of construction and demolition materials away from landfills while recovering or recycling a minimum of 80 percent of the materials being processed. “This new facility will be the most technologically advanced recovery facility of its kind in North America and takes advantage of new technologies, robust processes and our years of experience in the industry,” says Lee Timmins, the engineer who as assistant manager of projects and municipal business development for Tomlinson Environmental Services Ltd. not only was involved in its construction but now serves as a company spokesperson for the facility. He says that this new state-of-the-art facility will extend the life of landfills in the area as construction and demolition materials that do not need to go to landfills will instead be proceeded at this facility, with up to 80 percent being recovered or recycled. He equates this new facility to the well-known recycling blue and black boxes except that this new facility will handle construction materials. The Tomlinson firm has 20 years of experience in recycling construction and demolition materials thanks to operating such a facility at the Springhill landfill

in the former Osgoode township, handling 50,000 tonnes per year. This experience led to the design of this new facility, a design that took about five years to develop while incorporating the technological improvements that have happened in the industry in the past few years. Tomlinson felt that it needed a west end facility to complement the Osgoode site, especially since proximity to such a site is critical for the home builders and contractors that would use it. The new facility uses the latest in screening technology including air pressure separation to sort the materials passing through the new facility. This means that no pre-sorting of the materials is required, thus saving contractors and builders both time and money. But while this technology serves it purpose, it still comes down to a human component, with staff members flanking two long conveyor belts in the facility’s second storey sorting area and hand sorting the materials as they pass by on the belts. It is expected that about 20 people will be working in this sorting area when the facility opens. A computer can adjust the speed of the conveyor belt depending on the complexity of the materials being sorted. There is no danger in this facility of a recurrence of the runaway conveyor belt that was the focus of one of television’s funniest and most memorable skits on the “I Love Lucy” show in 1952 when Lucy and her friend Ethel were faced with a speeding conveyor belt while working in a candy factory. Timmins says that this new facility represents a combination of innovation and environmental consciousness for the Tomlinson company. “We are very proud of this be-
cause it’s doing the right thing,” he says, while adding that it also makes economic sense. He notes that the facility is designed to accomplish 80 percent diversion. The new plant will be surrounded by pavement and asphalt, so it is going to be a very clean place. In addition, the conveyor belts which carry the materials to the second storey sorting area while separating some materials along the way are fully covered, so there will be no materials escaping and littering the site. In addition, weather will not affect the covered belts. This will be a very clean site, Timmins says. Construction of the facility began last summer following years of design work and a lengthy approvals process. But this Tomlinson site off Carp Road is more than just this new recycling and recovery facility for construction and demolition
materials. There’s also a waste transfer station there as well as a materials recycling facility for blue and black boxes. In addition, used electronics are accepted at the site as well. Any solid, non-hazardous materials can be handled at the site, Timmins says. And while home builders and contractors will be major users of the construction and demolition materials recycling and recovery facility, it is open to anyone. The average guy with a pickup truck who has renovated the basement, for instance, is more than welcome to take his waste materials to this facility which will even be open open on Saturdays to accommodate such customers. Hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. See FACILITY, page 43

Facility will handle up to 500 tonnes per day Continued from page 41
This new facility will be able to process more than 50 tonnes of construction debris and remnant material an hour, up to 500 tonnes per day. This new facility will support recycling and recovery efforts for all manner of construction materials, including source separation of cardboard and plastic, reclaiming construction materials like aggregates, rock and concrete which can be crushed and reused, recycling of metals and wood and the conversion of mixed materials into biomass or fuel sources.
This single stream processing plant will be leveraging new technologies in screening and utilizing air pressure to sort material based on size and weight. This will allow the processing of more material at a higher diversion rate than ever before. For more information about the new facility, visit www.wasterecoverycentre.com. The Tomlinson firm was founded in 1952 with Ralph Tomlinson operating one single axle dump truck. It has developed into a leader in transportation infrastructure and environmental services.

He says that the new construction materials recycling and recovery facility is “like a Meccano set� with “belts going here, there and everywhere.� Lee acknowledges that he enjoys his work, saying that it is fun to build things like this new facility, especially when they have such an obvious environmental benefit. He notes the predominant red colour of the new facility, calling it “our big red plant� and pointing out that the Tomlinson firm is known as “the red army� since red is its corporate colour featured on all of its vehicles. Meccano, which still is available, is a model construction system created in England by Frank Hornby in 1898. It consists of reusable metal strips, plates, angle girders, wheels, axles and gears with nuts and bolts to connect the pieces. It enables the building of working models and mechanical devices.

Over the years, the colour of the Meccano pieces has changed but it is the colours red and green that are most associated with Meccano. Although much has changed with regard to Meccano over the years, what has remained the same are the Imperial half inch perforation spacing and the 5/32nd of an inch whitworth thread for nuts and bolts and other threaded parts. These unchanged standards and complete interchangeability of parts results in many modern models functioning perfectly with Meccano components that are more than 100 years old and vice versa. The only problem with mixing old and new parts is that the result is usually an odd mixture of colour schemes of the pieces. Today, over 100 years since Meccano was created, there are thousands of Meccano enthusiasts around the world. There are even annual Meccano exhibitions held around the world.

Junior Men’s team wins tournament John Curry John.curry@metroland.com
The Goulbourn Hornets
Junior Men’s basketball team overcame an opening game loss to go on to win the Hoopdome Tour-

Basketball Association season for the Goulbourn Hornets. Opening the tournament against the North Bay Spartans, the Hornets were stunned by the Spartans’ 10-0 run at the beginning of their game, using their size advantage to score inside. But the Hornets eventually settled down and it became a competitive back-and-forth game with the Hornets only behind by five points, 57-52, with ten seconds to go in the game. After hitting a three pointer and fouling after which the Spartans missed two free throws, the Hornets had the ball with less than three seconds to go. Alas, the miracle comeback did not happen as a last second game-winning three point shot rolled off the rim as the buzzer sound. With this opening game loss, the Hornets now had to win their next two games in order to make the playoff round.
First up with the Oxford Attack, a team that had a great size advantage. But the Hornets were not going to have another slow start and opened with more energy, using their superior speed and agility to exploit the man-to-man defense of the Attack. The Attack switched its defense to zone but the Hornets managed to hit enough shots to maintain their lead throughout the game, cruising to an 83-67 win. Now the Hornets had to face the undefeated Tillsonburg team and win in order to earn a berth in semi-final playoff action. This game against Tillsonburg saw several lead changes, with Tillsonburg showing good balance with both size and solid guard play. But Goulbourn got contributions from throughout its lineup, winning 64-60 and advancing to a semi-final game against the Whitby Wildcats. In this game against the Whitby Wildcats, the Hor-
nets established a lead in the first half, finding a way to break the Wildcats’ trap and scoring in transition to extend the lead to double digits in the third quarter. Whitby came back to get the game within two points in the fourth quarter but Goulbourn weathered this comeback and pulled out a 59-50 win to advance to the playoff final. The championship final saw the Hornets go up against the Tillsonburg squad that the Hornets had defeated the day before. The Hornets saved their best defense of the tournament for this championship game, applying pressure early and then alternating between zone and man-toman defense to keep Tilsonburg off balance. The Hornets opened up a small lead early in the game, a lead that was maintained throughout the game as the Hornets won 48-41. This was the Hornets’ first tournament win of the season.

Members of the Goulbourn Hornets Major Atom girls basketball team which competed in the recent Ontario Basketball Provincials in Newmarket are, front row, kneeling, from left, Brooke Ellis, Brooke Wallace, Eden Tourigny, Elsie Ross, Hillary Edwards and Zoey Anna Hemeon; and, back row, from left, coach Dan Case, coach Kevin Hemeon, Keira Watson-Laird, Maya Hamad, Tinah Djerbib, Kaitlyn Leboutillier, Hillary Case, Sophie Edwards, Kylee Enticknap and coach Geoff Edwards.
The Goulbourn Hornets Major Atom girls team went into the Ontario Basketball Provincials in Newmarket ranked sixth in its division. But after the weekend of play, the Hornets came home fourth in their division thanks to a solid showing at the Provincials. The Hornets compiled a record of two wins and two losses at the Provincials including two exciting narrow victories. The Hornets started the weekend facing the No. 2 seed IEM Aurora, pulling off a 32-30 victory to upset the higher-ranked squad. What a great start to this provincial
competition! However, in their second game of the competition, the Hornets lost 54-34 to Cambridge. The Hornets then rebounded with a solid effort, emerging with a nailbiting 30-29 victory over the London 86ers. This victory over London earned the Hornets a trip to the bronze medal game where they faced North York in a battle for the bronze medals. The Hornets lost 46-33 to North York which claimed the bronze medals. The Hornets, though, came home knowing that they placed fourth in their division of the provincial competition, an improvement on their sixth place ranking going into the Provincials.

A FRESH MEAL EVERY TIME**
Boat anchors, fishing equipment and even earthquake activity can disrupt worldwide voice and internet communication. That’s because these are the three main reasons that can cause failures of the undersea communication cables that link continents around the world, guest speaker Geoff Batstone told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa - Stittsville at the Club’s April 20 meeting. Indeed, if fishing gear becomes entangled with an underwater communication cable, fishermen know to cut the gear free as the companies owning the communication cable will pay to replace the gear. This is a lot cheaper solution that having the retrieval of the fishing gear damage the cable, forcing an expensive repair since ships with such repair capability cost anywhere from $60,000 to $100,000 a day to operate. Batstone is a lawyer who works on communication cable projects. He even had samples of the cable used for these undersea communication cables which he passed around to Rotary Club members. No, these are not some huge diameter cables but rather they are small diameter cables about the size of a loonie which involves thread-like fibre optic strands encased in a sleeve of plastic surrounded by wire and a plastic coating. These fibre optic strands are capable of carrying voice and internet data at the speed of light. These cables are placed on the ocean floor, sometimes up to 5,000 feet down. It costs millions to place these cables on the ocean floor and they are carefully laid in the hope that the cable can stay there for
its expected 25 year lifespan without being damaged or disturbed. That’s because of the huge cost of repairing a damaged cable. Companies try to place the cable where it will not be disturbed but Batstone admitted that this is impossible as many of the cables are laid where there is a lot of shipping traffic and hence a lot of anchors going to the sea bottom. There is a slightly larger, heavier cable that is better armoured with protection that is used in areas where the underwater cable is more likely to get disturbed such as areas closer to land. These can withstand more disturbance than the lighter-weight cable which is used in the deeper water areas where there is less chance of disruption. These underwater communication cables continue to be installed because the need for more capacity for voice and data communication continues to grow. Up to 98 percent of voice and data communication between continents travels over undersea fibre optic cable as opposed to satellite transmission. The most cables can be found running between the eastern United States and Europe but virtually everywhere in the world is connected via such cables to some degree. One new such new cable project with which Batstone is familiar involves a cable being laid through the Northwest Passage in Canada’s North, part of a cable that will run from Japan to Europe. This is not only the shortest route between Japan and Europe but also would provide the first fibre optic communication service to Canada’s North. Up until now, all voice and data communication with the North uses communication satellites which are stationed 35,000 kilometers above the earth. See UNDERWATER CABLES, page 65

Not only is the area within walking distance of the Shops at Lansdowne, its bustling main drag, Bank Street, boasts a number of locally owned specialty stores ranging from toys and antiques to secondhand clothing and kitchens, all within short walking distance. The same vibe carries over to Manotick Main Street, which features a number of unique shops and street front cafes. Further south, Kemptville remains the shopping capital of North Grenville. On top of its specialty shops and dining options, a number of big-box stores have recently opened in Kemptville.

Across the street is House of Targ, a beloved venue for live music, pinball and perogies owned by three local musicians. There are also several pubs in the area that host a number of popular open mic nights. On top of its many yearround entertainment options, Manotick is the host of a number of annual festivals and events like Shiverfest, Dickinson Days, Harvest Festival and A Taste of Manotick. A new music festival recently launched in Kemptville. This year’s Kemptville Live Music Festival takes place from July 22 through 24.
Old Ottawa South neighbourhoods keep their small town charm during growth. WIKIPEDIA OLD OTTAWA SOUTH
Along the banks of the Rideau River lie unique Ottawa neighbourhoods as rich with history as they are with modern amenities. Old Ottawa South — located between the Rideau Canal to the north, the Rideau River to the south, Avenue Road to the east and Bronson Avenue to the west — is home to hundreds of designated heritage properties and boasts more than 6,000 residents. The area is known for its walkability as a
variety of stores and businesses, the majority of which are locally owned, line the main strip along Bank Street. About 20 kilometres away from Old Ottawa South, in the rural southern part of the city, is Manotick, home to roughly 4,500 people. Manotick was founded by Moss Kent Dickinson and Joseph Currier, who built an old-stone mill on the shores of the Rideau River. Watson’s Mill remains Manotick’s most recognizable landmark and is still open to the public. Twenty minutes south of Manotick is the township of North Grenville (just outside of Ottawa), where its largest community, Kemptville, continues to expand — both in terms of residential and commercial growth — while still maintaining its small town charm.
Business park continues evolution of Barrhaven
The landscape in Barrhaven has been slowly evolving over the past few decades and will look dramatically different with the ongoing development of the CitiGate lands, a 170-acre premier business park at the corner of Highway 416 and Strandherd Drive. Part of longtime Barrhaven City Councillor Jan Harder’s vision for the area is to make it more walkable by offering a wider variety of convenient

shopping options as well as higher paying, local employment opportunities so residents don’t always have to commute downtown for work. “We’ve set the stage for that by approving the CitiGate lands, where we have zoning in place that will allow for more than 7,000 jobs,” Harder says. Andrea Steenbakkers, executive director of the Barrhaven BIA, agrees the CitiGate devel-
opment is an important step forward. “While Barrhaven has seen significant residential and retail growth, we now need the third part — employment — to make it a whole, sustainable community,” she says. “We have tens of thousands of skilled workers in Barrhaven who would love to work where they live, not to mention the relief to the City’s traffic and transit.” Stittsville News - Thursday, April 28, 2016 59

Old Ottawa South’s small town feel COMMUNITY
Neighbourhood’s charm and ‘hometown feel’ nice for children and adults Jen Traplin When Brenda Lee decided to open a home daycare nearly 20 years ago, she knew Old Ottawa South was the neighbourhood she wanted to be in. “I was a nanny to a few different families in Old Ottawa South for six years and loved the neighbourhood. There are many home daycare providers there so I knew there would be a support system,” she explains. “There are so many things to do with children in the neighbourhood, between Brewer and Windsor parks, the Sunnyside Library and it’s variety of programs, the community centre, wading pools and our proximity to museums, I knew we would always have something fun and educational to participate in.” Over the course of her nearly two decades as a resident in Old Ottawa South, and as chair of the Ottawa South Community Association’s Special Events Committee, Lee has seen sig-

nificant transformation in the small, urban neighbourhood. “There are fewer students in the area than there were 20 years ago. There has definitely been a surge in housing and in the prices of those homes,” she says. “The stores have changed as well from small places to buy beads and incense, garages and gas
stations, a St. Hubert, a couple of small Mom and Pop grocery stores and The Folklore Centre, to more pubs and high end restaurants, specialty shops and coffee shops.” Through it all, Lee says, one thing that has remained consistent is Old Ottawa South’s charming, small town feel. “It is a great community where people say hello
to each other on the street, they get involved in community causes, there are parks and activities and events that foster community,” she says. “I grew up in Renfrew and the population of Old Ottawa South is basically the same as Renfrew. It’s why I like it — I feel that hometown feel and closeness of neighbours and friends, but I can enjoy the bonuses of the city if I want to.”

OTTAWA NEIGHBOURHOODS – THE SOUTH
Kemptville College: A Mill an architectural piece of local history gem in Manotick Kemptville College has helped train generations of Canadians who earn their livelihood working to provide food for others. Built in 1917, originally to support and strengthen farming practises in Eastern Ontario, Kemptville College specializes in programs related to agricultural and rural fields. Nearly 20 years ago, Kemptville College became part of the University of Guelph, as well as the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC), a province-wide network of facilities for teaching and research in agriculture, food, the environment and rural communities. Two years ago, though, the University of Guelph announced it would no longer offer classes at Kemptville College after all current students had completed their programs this spring. Recognizing the impact that decision would have, not only on the local community but across the agriculture industry as a whole, the province of Ontario set up a working group to examine the future of the Kemptville campus. That group includes the municipality of North Grenville, which put together an am-

bitious plan for Kemptville College. The community’s vision sees the school as a non-profit, multi-tenant education and community hub focused on low carbon innovation and reducing the agricultural impact on climate change. The group tasked with analyzing the feasibility of the North Grenville’s plan, BDO Canada, has endorsed its vision for the re-invented college, calling the plan both sustainable and unique.
For more than 150 years, the mill stones at Watson’s Mill in Manotick have been busy grinding wheat into flour. The mill is the only operational industrial heritage site in the Ottawa region and is still a stunning piece of architecture today. Built from limestone cut from the Rideau River, it’s supported by white oak beams and hand hewn pine ceilings. “Many architectural journals describe the Mill as one of the best examples of 19th century grist mill architecture in Canada,” says Elaine Eagen, Programming and Visitor Experience Officer at Watson’s Mill. “Our visitors not only learn about the process, but have the opportunity to see and feel the building and its machinery in action.” Throughout its lifetime, the mill has been owned by three local families. It was founded by Joseph Merrill Currier and Moss Kent Dickinson in 1860. It remained in the Dickinson family until 1928 when it was sold to Alexander Spratt. His family ran the mill until selling in 1946 to Harry Watson, who was the last owner to operate the Mill at an industrial level.
Nearly 20 years after Watson purchased the mill, he entered into a lease agreement with the National Capital Commission to open the Mill as a heritage attraction before it was eventually sold to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, who restored the building and re-opened it as a functioning grist mill and museum. Watson’s Mill is open to the public during the warmer months and hosts a variety of events. Watson’s Mill officially opens for the season on May 21, 2016. For more information, visit watsonsmill.com.

Underwater cables connect continents Continued from page 54
This results in delays in transmission, albeit usually only seconds, but since people are used to instantaneous communication, these delays are very noticeable. Because fibre optic cable transmits data at the speed of light, there is no noticeable lag or delay. In addition, satellites can only handle a limited bandwidth whereas fibre optic cables can carry an immense amount of data. There is also greater reliability with fibre optic cable because satellites can be affected by external conditions such as sun spots and thus are prone to disruptions in service. In the North this means that the banking system goes down along with other services that rely on the satellite communication technology such as air traffic control. Such disruptions will be eliminated with a fibre optic underwater cable serving the North. These underwater communication cables are usually projects undertaken by consortiums involving a number of phone and communication companies or by
private equity firms. However, firms like Google, Facebook and Microsoft are getting involved in the industry because of their need for bandwidth and a desire to have control over the connectivity of their data centres to the rest of the world. Numerous underwater communication cables connect continents around the world. There are usually multiple cables linking continents and areas so that the data and voice traffic can be re-routed if one cable is disrupted. This, though, is not always the case as a recent disruption of a major and key cable running between Australia and Tasmania has shown. There are no alternative capacity and now there is disruption taking place until a specialized cable laying ships can get to that area to repair the damage. Once a certain undersea communication cable is installed, the owner sells capacity to various telecom providers. Each telecom provider is thus associated with a company which can provide worldwide communication through its underwater cables.

SENIORS & NEWS
MARY COOK Memories What excitement! And in the middle of the week at that! The call from Aunt Bertha on the next farm came before we left for school. To even get a phone call that early in the morning was unusual in itself. But to be invited over that evening in the middle of the week was even more unusual. Visiting among neighbours was reserved for Saturday nights! Aunt Bertha had something she wanted us to see, and yes, the whole family was invited to cross the twenty-acre field right after supper. Aunt Bertha said we would see something so new, that it was doubtful anyone in all of Northcote had ever seen one before. The Thoms children who went to school with us wouldn’t give us a hint as to what we were about to see at their home that night, but you could tell they were pretty excited too. Supper was hurried, the kitchen halfredded up, our faces washed, and off we went on the flat-bottomed wagon across the field to the next farm. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex and their eight children were waiting for us, and Ralph, who seemed to be in charge, led us through the kitchen, the summer kitchen and out to another room, which Aunt Bertha called the shed, although it was in much better shape than the little building we called a shed back home. There in the middle of the floor was a brand new washing machine! Like us, the Thoms had no electricity, but this certainly looked like it would take more than elbow grease to run it. We circled the machine, and I wondered what was so special about it that Aunt Bertha would bring us all over from the next farm to see it. The tub was a pale green, certainly a step up from the square tin tub and scrub board Mother had to use. But I still couldn’t imagine what was so important about a washing machine that our whole family would be brought over in the middle of the week to look at it. “Stand well back,” Uncle Alex said, and as one we all moved a few feet away. Beside the machine was another apparatus that looked a lot like the motor Mr. Briscoe brought around in the fall to saw wood. “Better put your pipe away, Albert,” Uncle Alex ordered.
Connected to your community
Great invention makes it way to Northcote
“Don’t want anyone to get hurt.” This was getting scarier by the minute. We couldn’t see what Uncle Alex was doing, but he pressed a few buttons and this black piece of machine made an ungodly sound, like the whole place was going to blow up and a puff of blue smoke came out, just about blocking Uncle Alex from view. Then Aunt Bertha pushed something on the washing machine and right before our eyes, the gyrator started up, the few pieces of clothes began tumbling, suds rose from the depths and Aunt Bertha stood back, crossed her arms over the chest and said, “Now, isn’t that something?” With laundry for eight Thom children, there would be no more scrub board! The magic wasn’t to end there. Another button was pushed, the machine came to a halt, and Aunt Bertha pulled out a set of long underwear from the soapy water, turned a little handle, fed the underwear into a ringer attached to the washing machine and the long johns dropped into a basket on the floor, looking like they were almost dry enough to put on. Uncle Alex explained how the whole thing was run with a gas motor and as far as he could figure out, it was the first gas washing machine in all of Northcote. Nobody was going to argue with that. Fancy washing machines were nothing new to Mother, who had an electric one in New York, but she kept that to herself, instead praising Aunt Bertha for this newfangled gas machine that would lighten her load on wash days. The new gas washing machine over at the Thoms farm was all we could talk about when we got home. “By gar, that’s really something,” Father said. He thought it was the greatest invention since the telephone. Unlike the radio, which Father was sure would never catch on. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it is easy to get excited about the wrong things this week. Try not to be too reckless in your actions, and stick with someone like Libra to keep you grounded. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may be unable to keep your emotions in check this week, and you just might let more things slip than you hoped to. It’s okay to open up once in a while. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Pursue a moneymaking idea, Gemini, because a partnership project is something right at this venture in time. Create a solid relationship with someone you trust and get started. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you keep hitting a wall with regard to a project. Accept that you will not make too much progress now and move on to something else. You can circle back later. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A particular goal may seem like an uphill battle to anyone else but you, Leo. You have the stamina, work ethic and the personality to overcome any obstacle. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be ready to go out on your own and demonstrate your independence, but something is holding you back. A support system isn’t a bad thing.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may quickly tire of any tasks that are put in front of you this week. Repetition is just not your friend, so look for activities that may be more stimulating. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, repeatedly taking an unsuccessful approach won’t produce new results. It’s time to try a new tactic. Perhaps ask a friend for a different perspective. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, turn up the charm and you’ll have more opportunities to get things to go your way. Just don’t put on an act or others will see right through it. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you are often the one to help others, but this week you need some assistance. Accept any help you can get and thank those around you for their willingness to lend a hand. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, distractions may be enjoyable this week, but you have to limit them or you will get nothing done. There’s a lot on your plate that you have to complete. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Tackling some financial problems this week, Pisces. Focus on old debt or something that has been plaguing you for some time. 0428
