What an improved Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite will mean for CHEO: •
Nearly real-time, 3D imaging guiding CHEO’s physicians as they place stents, close inter-cardiac defects (holes in the heart), enlarge cardiac vessels, perform biopsies, insert g-tubes, drain infections, deliver orthopedic care etc.
•
Provide higher quality images with fewer x-rays and the lowest possible radiation.
•
Eliminate the need for surgery in some cases.
•
Provide more accurate imaging to assist in diagnoses.
• Allow
CHEO to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures.
•
Reduce time in hospital and patient discomfort in comparison to older techniques.

CHEO champion fundraiser kicks off in Stittsville BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Brian Dryden/Metroland
CHEO champion Jacob Randell, 13, gets a hug from the CHEO bear mascot at the launch of Walmart’s spring fundrasing event in Stittsville for the Children’s Miracle Network on Friday, May 5. All funds raised locally through Walmart for the Children’s Miracle Network Champions program benefits CHEO.
Thirteen-year-old Jacob Randell was the star attraction at the Stittsville Walmart on May 5, when Walmart launched its spring fundraising campaign for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The youngster, who had brain surgery because of a rare form of cancer, praised the efforts of CHEO, Walmart, and the Children’s Miracle Network program for the impact they have had on his life and his family’s. “They got me though it,” he said of his surgery. “Your support of the Children’s Miracle Network helps make my life better,” he told representatives of many eastern Ontario Walmart stores and digni-
taries who were on hand for the campaign launch. “It’s going to be a great month, good luck, and ‘woo-hoo.’” he said as he helped launch the campaign. Annual effort

SC principal receives award from Ontario Library Assoc.
by Shelina AlbhaikSouth Carleton High School principal Colin Anderson has received the Ontario Library Association's Administrator of the Year Award. Mr. Anderson has been named the 2017 recipient of this award for his part in this transformation of South Carleton's library into a vibrant learning commons. The principal had a vision to turn a common library space into a learning commons. The objective of this new commons was to provide students with an open space inspiring them to learn. He saw this conversion as an opportunity to create a vibrant learning environment without barriers and restrictions resulting in the learning commons becoming a model for other schools to consider within the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. The principal was inclusive and collaborative with his approach for gathering ideas and feedback, including input from parent council, teachers, students and trustees. See ADMINISTRATOR, page 5

This enabled a holistic collaboration representing every group’s ideas, thoughts and input. This approach allowed the members to feel part of the conversion and promoted the idea right from the onset. As a result, the learning commons truly became everyone’s success. The school’s library was transformed by changing not only its look and feel, but by removing barriers and restrictions that would have prevented students from using the space. Some of the changes made were the following: •Changing the doors from two doors exiting and one door entering to both doors open at all times and removing the entry gates, symbolizing that the learning commons is always inviting the students in to be used; •Moving the circulation desk to the centre of the library and students creating the front of the desk using old books, allowing a more efficient traffic flow; •Creating a learning commons “oasis” with a tiled floor, bistro tables, chairs and a TV with the school news on a continuous loop so that students are now able to use this space to gather, eat, drink and chat similar to the Starbucks coffee chat environment that has become the norm for gathering; •Creating a lounge area with comfortable, modern, movable
furniture, so students can relax before, in between, or after classes; •Replacing old computers with new Chrome books (30 for use in the learning commons plus 15 for day use and 15 for overnight use); •Converting surrounding storage and office spaces into study and collaboration rooms. These rooms have tables and comfortable seating including TVs in two rooms that can be connected to Chromebooks, a smart projector in one room and one room dedicated as a maker space with ergonomic tables and
materials for hands on projects; •Adding a slat wall across the back wall to showcase students’ artwork or promote new books; •Creating a space that can be used for learning sessions on a variety of studentfocused topics delivered by community specialist and experts; and •Implementing a new, movable, lowheight bookshelf that maintains the openness and visual image of the space. With Mr. Anderson’s consistent leadership, the vision of converting the library into a learning commons became
a reality and is being used today by all the students. It has also become a location to share knowledge, collaborate on ideas, get excited about activities like reading and have a quiet space for contemplation if that is the student’s need. Mr. Anderson has been named the 2017 recipient of the Ontario Library Association’s Administrator of the Year Award for his part in this transformation of South Carleton’s Library into a vibrant learning commons.

Campaign praised for its impact on the community Continued from page 1
Each year Walmart stores across Canada commit to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network’s member hospitals through grassroots fundrasing efforts and by selling miracle balloon icons at cash registers within the company’s stores. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said fundraising efforts such as Walmart’s for the betterment of children is much appreciated. “No matter what it is, Walmart has been an important supporter of the community and that is very important for all of us,” Qadri said. Kanata South Coun. Allan
“No matter what it is, Walmart has been an important supporter of the community and that is very important for all of us.” Coun. Shad Qadri
Hubley also praised Walmart and the company’s various efforts to support the communities that they operate within. “The support that Walmart provides for facilities such as CHEO is very important and is obviously much appreciated by all of us in the community.” While everyone was smiling and happy to be at the event at the Stittsville Walmart store, there was some good natured ribbing going on between the two city councillors. Qadri
pointed out in his remarks that those attending had to venture into Stittsville to get to the Walmart store, that while located within Stittsville it is actually officially called the Kanata South Walmart. When Qadri pointed out that the store is within the boundaries of Stittsville, Hubley joked that the doors should be locked in case some people wanted to escape if they didn’t know they had actually ventured into Stittsville.

Priest is acquitted of sexual assault charges Special to the News
Rev. Stephen Amesse has been acquitted of charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in 2008. Charges were laid in 2014, but it was only this past March when testimony in the judgeonly trial wrapped up. Justice Martin James recapped the case and issued his verdict of not guilty in an Ottawa courtroom on Tuesday, May 2. The verdict brought a cheer from supporters of Amesse, drawing a rebuke from the judge as inappropriate behaviour in a courtroom. Amesse had been suspended from pastoral duties in the archdiocese following the laying of the charges in 2014. Amesse was the parish priest at St. Patrick’s Church in Fallowfield at the time. No announcement has yet been made pertaining to Amesse’s future as a priest in the archdiocese. He had been assigned to St. Patrick’s Church in August, 2009 following a nine-year tenure as the priest at Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Stittsville. It was during his time in Stittsville that the allegations leading to the charges were to have happened. Amesse achieved great support and admiration during his years at Holy Spirit. He had been appointed pastor on July 1, 2000 after serving as an associate pastor at St. Patrick’s Basilica in Ottawa. He replaced Rev. Frank Scott as the pastor at the
Stittsville parish. When Amesse became pastor, Holy Spirit was holding its weekend masses in the gym at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street. The location of the masses was moved to the larger Sacred Heart High School gym in Dec. 2001, with the church on Shea Road built in 2007. Amesse focused on building a strong parish community as a prelude to construction of the multimillion dollar church complex. He was a familiar sight in local Catholic schools as well as at community events and seniors’ residences. During his nine years at Holy Spirit he conducted nearly 800 baptisms as well as numerous funerals and weddings. Nearly 2,000 young people were confirmed during these years. A farewell gathering for Amesse in June, 2009 just before his move to St. Patrick’s Parish at Fallowfield was attended by more than 600 people. A number of speakers at the gathering praised and thanked Amesse for his work in Stittsville. A prolonged standing ovation indicated the respect and support which Amesse had earned during his work in the community. “We are blessed to have been your flock and thank you for your shepherding,” former Sacred Heart High School principal Val McGillis said in her remarks at the gathering. John Bissonnette, speaking
on behalf of the building committee for Holy Spirit Catholic Church, attributed the building of the church to Amesse’s work, dedication and efforts in the parish. “We would not be in this church today if not for Father Steve,” he said. Amesse was replaced as parish priest of Holy Spirit by Rev. Ross Finlan on Aug. 1, 2009.

Council must protect the city’s history
C
ity council will soon consider an application containing more than a touch of folly. A family in Rockcliffe Park is seeking approval to demolish a 1940’s heritage home. A folly indeed, and one council should turn down. The applicants say the house has bats, mould and asbestos. All those issues can be remedied for a small sum of money when compared to the value of the existing home – well over $2 million. And it’s a good bet the current owner didn’t skip the home inspection before plonking down millions of dollars. There’s little doubt the owner has the means to make the home as nice as it was in the ’40s. It’s equally clear the current owner – who purchased the home in the last decade – knew what they were buying. It begs the question: did they buy the home with the intention of knocking it down?
When there are people in the city without homes, knocking down a massive, elaborate, and quite livable house, just to build an even more elaborate residence is wasteful in the extreme. Beyond the irony of demolishing livable space to make new livable space, council should also consider the wastefulness in terms of actual waste. Somewhere a landfill will be a little closer to full when tons of debris and rubble arrive. And truckloads of new building materials will need to be manufactured and trucked to build the planned mansion. If the owner wants a brand new, massive house, there is land for sale within the city limits where one could construct a Kardashian-style home that the neighbours would likely accept with a shrug. Rockcliffe has history. It has character. It has homes more than a few years old, and that’s a good thing. The city should turn down any request to knock down Ottawa’s heritage.
Work still needed to make Ottawa walkable city
T
he Council on Aging of Ottawa has just released its Age-Friendly Walkability Progress Report. The council’s seniors transportation committee studied various neighbourhoods with the help of local students and other volunteers who went out and walked in the winter and reported on their findings. The timing of the report (which is available on the council’s website www.coaottawa.ca) couldn’t be better. Winter is still fresh in our memory and many of the council’s observations concern winter walking. And, speaking of timing, the report coincides with new census information on population trends in Canada. According to the 2016 census, Canadians 65 and over now outnumber Canadians 14 and under.

assign higher priority to efforts that ensure age-friendly walkability.” The point about getting people out of their cars is worth underlining. City planning policy has long been pointed in that direction, with transit expansion and the encouragement of denser population around transit hubs. So improving walkability fits right in. So does improved access to transit. It may also be that the trend to taller buildings and denser neighbourhoods will create new challenges to walkability that will need to be studied. As the Council on Aging notes, the city has been taking some steps. But the population trends dictate that the challenge will be a continuing one, as well as one with certain political implications.

Master gardener Judith Cox wants gardening to be fun by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Making it fun — that’s the gardening philosophy of master gardener Judith Cox, and you’ll get a sampling of it at the May meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. That’s when Judith will be the guest speaker, delivering a presentation called “Gardening with Children: Purple Carrots, Honeybees and Magic.” Just that title of the presentation evokes thoughts of fun. Judith believes that by focusing on fun and function in gardening, everyone can enjoy themselves, no matter their age. “I put a big emphasis on looking at things in a different way, using the materials that you have available,” Judith says. “It’s all a case of hopefully making it fun, interesting, something different,” she says about gardening. “I want people to enjoy themselves.” And she knows of what she speaks, as she

combined her love of children, thanks to a background in early childhood education, with a passion for gardening when she was the gardener at Saunders Farm at Munster for 15 years, before deciding at the end of last season that it was time for a change. Judith created and tended to the fairy garden at Saunders Farm for years, recognizing it as a valuable tool in drawing in and capturing the attention of children. “People can’t really walk past something that looks really interesting,” she says. “You’re competing a lot with electronics and all this other stuff so you’ve got to make it in such a way that children are going to be able to relate to what you’re doing. You want to sort of start out with instant gratification and then move on to the more patient things.” She notes that for children, the wonder of a garden is magical. “You put this seed in the ground and then, whoa, there’s a plant and that’s amazing,” she explains. Gardening, though, may not seem as magical for an adult, as tackling a garden can seem daunting. That’s why Judith has decided to start her own garden consulting business to help homeowners who want to learn more about gardening in their own garden. “I love the idea of going to someone’s garden and giving them the confidence to be able to be their own gardener,” she says. “It’s not as scary as you think sometimes.” Judith Cox will be giving her presentation “Gardening with Children: Purple Carrots, Honeybees and Magic” at the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre, at the corner of Pretty Street and Orville Street in Stittsville. Non-members of the Horticultural Society are most welcome to attend as guests are free for this meeting. Memberships in the Horticultural Society are $15 each or $25 for a family.

resource centre's work. “This is the exciting part of this agency, and this position for me, in that it does touch on a lot of different things I've done in my past,” said the Stittsville resident. “I feel like it’s all coming together under one roof here.” Paruboczy is the former executive director of a number of nonprofit organizations, including: • Mothercraft Ottawa, a child care and family support organization that has an Ontario Early Years Centre; • Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, a residential program for youth with substance addictions; • Vista Centre, which provides services to people with brain injuries; • Movement for Canadian Literacy, a nonprofit literacy organization that is no longer in existence. Paruboczy, who graduated from Loyalist College in the behaviour science/social service worker program and went on to receive a bachelor of arts with a major in psychology from Carleton University, sat on the board of directors for Interval House and completed a student placement at Three Oaks — both shelters for women fleeing abusive situations. She worked for the Community Living Association, which has residential and home-based programs with a focus on community integration for adults with intellectual disabilities. As well, she started a friendly visiting program in Perth, which matches volunteers with people who feel socially isolated. “Melody is an accomplished leader with over 20 years of management experience at senior levels within the nonprofit sector,” said resource centre board chair Robert Bourgeois when the centre announced Paruboczy’s appointment. “Her areas of expertise include the key management functions and she is knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with all three levels of government and in significant fundraising activities.” Paruboczy took over from veteran executive director Cathy Jordan, who was involved with the resource centre for more than 20 years and retired on Jan. 20. Jordan led the centre through a number of transitions including opening the women’s shelter Chrysalis House, increasing community resources in the centre’s rural catchment area and forging partnerships with other organizations such as an adult day program for adults experiencing dementia-related disorders at Algonquin College.
“It’s going to be exciting to see where Melody takes it,” said Jordan in an earlier interview. “There are so many exciting possibilities that we’re on the verge of.” REFOCUS The resource centre has been undergoing a restructuring and refocussing program to ensure better interaction among the various services offered. “We really are working very hard at breaking down any potential silos,” said Paruboczy, who’s been visiting the various programs offered by the centre. “We’re still in that process. I think for the most part we are doing amazingly well, but there’s probably still a few novel connections that we could be making among our own organization. “My biggest focus is just digging in and understanding everything that we do and all the nuances of it and just making sure that we really are interconnected.” Two areas that Paruboczy is excited about include the “living lab” adult day program at Algonquin College and the push to extend more services to rural parts of the centre’s catchment area. “We haven’t always done the best job really in providing services in the West Carleton area, so now it really is a big focus for us to be bringing supports and services out to the more rural areas,” she said. Last year, the centre opened two service hubs — one in Constance Bay and another in Fitzroy Harbour — to make accessing services easier for rural residents. The WOCRC has also started a “community helpers” program, a volunteer training tool developed by Algonquin College that’s aimed at giving people confidence to help their neighbours. “It’s a different way of looking at supports in the community,” said Paruboczy, adding the training is open to everybody no matter where they live. “This is an opportunity for neighbours, community leaders, anybody who’s interested in taking the training, just to give them a little added confidence in supporting their neighbours.” FUNDING The centre's adult day program at Algonquin College is also looking to expand. The original two-year project just received word of further base funding that will allow the partnership to continue, said Paruboczy. The program offers on-campus training for students in various health care programs — such as nursing, personal support workers and therapy — and is looking to expand to other ar-

It’s very broad and we’re just starting to think about those other programs that could benefit from this opportunity.” The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre serves about 15,000 people a year living in Kanata, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Nepean. The centre offers numerous services in the areas of violence against women, child and youth development and engagement, parent resources, adults and seniors with disabilities and counselling programs.

Another Sham Budget So the 2017-2018 budget is out. This year’s budget is the government’s last opportunity to convince Ontarians to give them another chance. Predictably, the government is congratulating itself on a supposedly balanced budget and a mass of new ‘investments’. But don’t be fooled. The budget isn’t really balanced. The government is hiding a $5 billion operational deficit with one-off revenues and inappropriate use of assets. Government apparatchiks have papered over a lot of what they owe with revenue from the embarrassing fire-sale of Hydro One and the carbon tax boondoggle. They’re also citing assets held by public-sector pension plans as government assets – a cheap trick which Ontarians should easily see through. But it gets worse. The budget says that Ontario’s debt will go up another 8% over the next two years to $336 billion. This means that the government has no plan to reduce Ontario’s massive debt – a debt which has more than doubled since they took power. Annual interest payments on this debt amount to $12 billion. This is just about the cost of a gas plant scandal every month. It is also significantly more than this government spends on post-secondary education and community safety combined. Ontarians deserve a better deal than this. The 2018 election can’t come soon enough!

Working in the pouring rain which soaked all three jackets that he donned, Ross battled the flooding water from about 4 p.m. to dark when a plumber was able to unblock the sewer and eliminate the flooding. Ross had tripped over a snow shovel during his hectic work against the rising water, severely bruising his face.

Information Session Baseline and Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design May 17, 2017 6 to 9 p.m. Presentation at 7 p.m. St. Paul High School 2675 Draper Avenue By attending this information session, residents will be updated on how the City will address the community’s concerns related to the design and construction of the proposed stormwater management pond. Residents will be able to ask questions of staff and subject matter experts and hear more about the project’s next steps. This session is the last step in the public engagement process for this project. Information about the project’s background, existing conditions on the site, and pond alternatives will also be available at the meeting. The City of Ottawa has initiated this Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed stormwater management pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015).The proposed pond will provide water quality treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The study process is following the requirements of a Schedule B project under the Municipal Class EA and has identified a preferred alternative and functional design for the proposed pond. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accessibility accommodation, please email your request before May 15, 2017.

Around the village of Stittsville
The United churches in the area, including Stittsville United Church in Stittsville, are joining together to raise funds for the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata. The United churches in Stittsville, Richmond, Carp, Kanata, Glen Cairn, Bells Corners and perhaps Fallowfield have set a fundraising goal of $50,000 to raise for the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice over the next year. A number of activities will be held throughout the year, providing an opportunity for the members of these churches and others in the community to take part in this fundraising initiative. The $50,000 goal is not a limit, with the hope being that it will be exceeded in this fundraising project. The funds will go to help with construction costs for the new nine-bed residential hospice now under construction at the former Trinity Presbyterian Church site on McCurdy Drive
in Kanata. In addition, the funds will go to help with ongoing costs for the hospice. This initiative by the United churches in the area follows a similar joint fundraising campaign by the Anglican churches in the area to raise $100,000 for inclusion of a “quiet room” in the new residential hospice complex. Hospice Care Ottawa provides a number of programs and services including day programs, caregiver support, bereavement support, transportation services and at-home care. It also provides end-of-life residential care. Currently, Hospice Care Ottawa operates a number of end-oflife beds at a temporary location at the Embassy West Hotel site on Carling Avenue near Kirkwood Avenue. The new nine-bed residential unit at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata will replace these temporary beds. All programs and services offered by Hospice Care Ottawa are provided free of charge as per the hospice tradition.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Ottawa Public Health Mental Health Initiatives Dear Residents, In honour of National Mental Health Awareness Week last week, I would like to take a moment to share some of the valuable educational resources available through Ottawa Public Health (OPH) pertaining to ensuring residents remain not only physically healthy, but mentally as well. The stigma surrounding mental illness is slowly starting to dissipate but it is far from dissolved. As community members, we still have a long way to go before the fear and feelings of shame from those who suffer silently can be treated in the same manner as physical illness. As Chair of the Board of Health, I am thrilled to announce that this week Ottawa Public Health, with the support of Bell Let’s Talk, have launched an expanded “have THAT talk” mental health promotional video series. I would like to thank the “have THAT talk” program coordinator, Ben Leiken and the entire OPH team for all of their hard work on the program. I would also like to thank the professional panel in attendance at the launch event for ensuring its success, including Chair of the “Bell Let’s Talk” mental health initiative, Mary Deacon; Canada Research Chair in Mental Health Epidemiology, Dr. Ian Colman; Director of the Youth Mental Health Research Unit at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, Dr. Ian Manion; and Psychiatrist at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital, Dr. Azaad Kassa. The “have THAT talk” campaign/video series was first launched in 2012 for parents, and the videos and resources centred on “how parents can talk about mental health with their kids”. Since then, it has expanded to include psychological standards in the workplace. The 5 new videos, along with an activity guide, explore the topics: How to Talk about Your Mental Health; Reducing Stigma; Building Resilience; Caring for yourself, the Caregiver; and Building Social Connections. The videos offer skills and suggestions about safe ways to talk about your own mental health and how to support others when they come forward and share their challenges with you. They talk about how you can help reduce the stigma associated with mental health as well as strategies to care of yourself or someone in need. One in 5 Canadians will experience a mental illness at some point in their life. It could be you or someone you care about. It is everyone’s responsibility to take action to reduce stigma, increase support, and encourage people to get help sooner. As busy individuals, it is sometimes easy to forget how meaningful our everyday interactions can be. Simple words such as “how are you?” can bear significant power when you truly listen to the response. I highly encourage all residents to take an opportunity to review the videos by visiting haveTHATtalk.ca It is crucial that we work together as a community to educate people about the nature of mental illness and how to get support. We all have a role to play. Hair Donation Ottawa Results I would like to take a moment to thank all residents who took the time to show their support either through donation or otherwise for the Hair Donation Ottawa event last week, which helped to raise funds for cancer research. With your generous support, I was able to contribute $1050 to the cause. We came together to support a fantastic cause and it was an enjoyable event for all. As donations are still coming in, full numbers will not be available until the end of May; however as of April 30th, there were 236 participants that helped to raise $108,000, collecting over 2,210” of hair. I would like to thank the Hair Donation Ottawa team, in particular, Helene Hutchings and Perry Pavlovic, for all of their hard work toward the success of this great campaign as well as Deputy Mayor, Mark Taylor for taking the time to join the event in shaving my head. I would also like to provide a special thanks to all of the Stittsville families and kids who participated in the day, bravely donating their hair in order to contribute to such a worthwhile cause. Your incredible contributions help to ensure that cancer research continues to improve every day. Thank you. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details. Stittsville News - Thursday, May 11, 2017 23

Raising funds for charity with annual cake auction by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
“Let them eat cake” is the renowned phrase attributed to France’s Marie Antoinette, uttered about peasants during a famine. It is seen as an indication of the heartless, uncaring attitude of King Louis XVI and French royalty at the time of the French Revolution. But at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, cakes provide an opportunity not only to enjoy the sweet delicacy that they are but also to do good at the same time by raising funds for charity. This is the whole point of the school’s annual cake auction which was held on Friday, May 5, with tables in the foyer filled with decadently decorated and uniquely designed cakes of all shapes and sizes, made by students and staff. Classes then bid on the cakes, with the funds raised going to a number of designated charities. And what a collection of cakes ended up filling the tables that were set up in a rectangle around the atrium area, with a single row of tables up the middle of the rectangle as well. Cakes started coming in just after 7 a.m. and continued for the next hour, filling up all of the table space. Students arriving for school circulated around the outside of the tables, viewing the cakes, taking cellphone pictures of them and chatting with friends about them. The volume of chatter in the atrium kept growing as more and more students John Curry/Metroland arrived to view the cakes on display. And what cakes they were! You’ve heard, no doubt, of carrot cake. Well, With their cake representing various sports which they created for the annual cake you have probably not seen a carrot cake like the auction at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville on May 5 are (from left) Jessica Quinn one made by student Hannah Sullivan which was in the form of a giant orange carrot, with (behind), Makenzie O’Brien and Bryenah Bennett.
Sports-themed layer cake
a slicing knife lying beside it. Yes, it was carrot cake that truly lived up to its name — a cake in the form of a carrot. There was Tessa Neilson’s cake creation laden with Smarties and M & M’s. There was a cake featuring a person fishing in a boat on a lake, surrounded by trees. There was a sports-themed cake made by students Jessica Quinn, Makenzie O’Brien and Bryenah Bennett that featured layers, one each for a sport. There was a cake laden with jujubes, one of many cakes with goodies as part of it including, in some cases, suckers and even one with Mars bars. There was a cake celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday. There was a cake with a beach scene. A number of cakes featured arrays of cupcakes, all appropriately decorated. A cake forming the letters “S” and “H” sported a host of sparklers (unlit). Imagine these tables in the atrium full of such cakes, each one a work of art in its own right, and you can gather the sense of awe and amazement which permeated among those in the atrium as they viewed this collection of cakes. And, just remember, it was all being done ultimately to raise funds for charity. Last year’s cake auction raised $32,000, divided among a number of charities such as SchoolBox Nicaragua, Free the Children, the Stittsville Food Bank and Brain Tumour Research. This $32,000 brought the 16 year fundraising total for the event to about $200,000. Once again this year, on-site co-ordinators for this charity cake auction were teachers Malcolm Lawrence and Mike Maloney, just as they have done for years, wearing their white lab coats and their colourful head pieces.

Q: My spouse and I are separated and our child has turned 18 years old. She is starting post-secondary education in September, who is responsible for these expenses? Getting your child to the completion of their high school education can be an exciting and busy time. By this point in their final year, most students have thought about what their next steps are and are starting to make arrangements for what will happen in September. Unfortunately, our children are very rarely self-supporting by this stage of their lives which leads to the big dilemma of - who is to pay for these post-secondary education expenses? When parents separate, their financial obligations to their children are typically set out in the child support guidelines. These obligations are set out very clearly for children under the age of majority but when children turn 18, the entitlement to ongoing support is not as straightforward. There can be an ongoing obligation to pay monthly child support for a child who

is over the age of 18, depending on the circumstances, and there can be an ongoing obligation to contribute to that child’s special and extraordinary expenses. Post-secondary education costs may qualify as a special and extraordinary expense which parents could have an obligation to continue to contribute towards long after their child has turned 18. Determining which types of expenses qualify, how much each parent should contribute towards the expense and what is a reasonable contribution to expect from the child is not always easy to do. Seeking advice from an experienced family law lawyer can provide parents with the information needed to understand their obligations when it comes to post-secondary education expenses and supporting their children beyond the age of majority.

Silver medals for Goulbourn Hornets Minor Midget Girls Special to the News
It was silver medals for the Goulbourn Hornets Minor Midget Girls (U15) team at the Ontario Basketball Association (OBA) Provincial Cup in Whitby on the weekend of April 2830. The Hornets won four straight games to advance to the championship final where they lost a close 4439 game to the Peterborough squad. This earned the Hornets silver medals plus congratulations from their parents, coaches and spectators, not only for their on-court play but also for the first-class sportsmanship which they demonstrated throughout the weekend.
The Hornets started off play in this OBA Provincial Cup tournament on the Friday night, taking on Tillsonburg in a close contest that was decided by just two points, with the Hornets winning by a 34-32 score. On the Saturday morning, the Hornets faced off against Dundas, setting the pace and controlling the game, resulting in a 52-36 victory. On the Saturday afternoon, the Hornets went up against the Toronto Lords. This game turned out to be a real nail-biter, with the Hornets emerging with a one point win, 32-31. With three straight victories, the Hornets placed first in their pool in
round robin play and it was off to semifinal action on the Sunday morning. Energized by their three victories and knowing that a win in the semifinal game would gain them a spot in the gold medal final, the Hornets went up against Collingwood, the top-seeded team in the tournament. But the Hornets were up to the task and ended up defeating Collingwood by a 38-14 score. It was then on to the gold medal game against Peterborough, a powerful team. Each period ended with a close score and it was anybody’s game but in the end Peterborough edge ahead, winning by five points, 44-39.

Art show celebrating Canada’s 150th at GRC Special to the News
It’s an art show and sale to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday — that is why the goal is to have 150 works of art on display at the event, all in keeping with the Canada 150 theme. And while over 20 artists will be participating in this
special art show and sale, the works of art will be displayed in a unique way, namely by theme rather than in individual artist booths. The six themed categories will be Coast to Coast, Floral and Fauna, Work and Play, Canadian Architecture, Red and White and Canadian Faces. It is believed that exhibiting the art by category will allow more artists to participate. These may be newer artists or perhaps artists who do not have enough finished art to have an individual booth but do have art that fits some of the categories. This show and sale will be held this Saturday, May 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the lobby area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road. Everyone is
welcome to attend. Those who do attend will have an opportunity to win one of three baskets of artist greeting cards. All those who attend will receive a ballot allowing them to vote for the top three art pieces in the show that they particularly like. Those who submit a vote will have his or her name go in a draw to win one of the baskets of artist greeting cards. The art on display in this show and sale will range from photo art and mixed media to watercolours and acrylics. “It will be a mixed bag of artwork,” Salena Richard of the sponsoring Ottawa West Arts Association (OWAA) says. All of the art on display will be for sale and indeed after May 8 will be able to be pre-
viewed on OWAA's website. The price and size of the painting, as well as an image of the piece, will be posted online for viewing in advance of the show. If you find a piece online that you like, it would be best to be at the show bright and early near the 10 a.m. opening to make sure it becomes yours. Ms. Richard says that all of the OWAA artists are excited and looking forward to this spring exhibition and sale with its focus on Canada’s 150th birthday. Besides this art show and sale, the OWAA gallery on the walls of the foyer area of the GRC will have a new display of artwork on exhibit, so there is going to be lots of art to view, all in one location.

(Stittsville). The JJs were led by conductor Linda Crawford and accompanied by pianist Bonnie MacDiarmid at these concerts. At the first school of the day, St. James Catholic School, the school choir stepped up to join in a rousing rendition of O Canada, which certainly kicked off the day in fine style. Thank you to St. James choir director Jennifer Fitzel for coordinating that great start to the tour. The concert offered by the JJs was an allCanadian show in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday. The selections included two pieces by Kanata composer Laura Hawley: Music Makers and Vivre, Aimer. Music Makers was composed specifically for the Junior Jubilees in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers family of choirs. Both of these pieces feature Laura’s signature jazzy rhythms. A composition by another Ottawa composer, James Wright, To Young Canadians, has as its text the famous letter written to young citizens by Jack Layton. It was expressively sung by these “young Canadians” of the Junior Jubilees! A highlight of each concert was the perfor-
mance by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers Teens quartet of I Dreamed of Rain. This beautiful song was a perfect link to the Earth Day celebrations in the schools. The program was rounded out with two rollicking folk songs from Newfoundland: Great Big Sea, and I’se the Bye. The students at each school enjoyed the wide variety of musical styles and the engaging performances by the JJs. The JJs hope that these concerts will encourage new young singers to come out next September to join the choir. The first practice will be Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 5:45pm at Stittsville United Church. All young singers ages 8-16 are welcome to join: there are no auditions. It is a busy spring for the JJs! They participated in the 2017 Together in Song children’s choirs festival on April 23, and on April 30 were guest artists at the concert by the Goulbourn Male Chorus. On May 6 (7:30 p.m.) and 7th (2 p.m.), the entire Goulbourn Jubilee Singers family of choirs will present their special 40th anniversary shows at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad.

Golf, Archery, Soccer, Basketball, Water Games & much more FUN!
Daven Braumberger of Stittsville on ‘Giver’ TV show by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Being selected to work on building a Canada-shaped playground. Exciting. Spending three days on the site at Mooney’s Bay creating the Ontario portion of the playground. Memorable. And then watching the whole experience unfold on the TV screen. Awesome! This has been the experience of Daven Braumberger of Stittsville who on Wednesday, April 26 got to see her playground-building days last summer portrayed on television in the “Giver” TV show on TVO Kids. Subsequent episodes of the TV show will be showing the building of other sections of the 4,600 square metre playground, each one focused on a different area of Canada. For Daven, who is a Grade 3 student at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville, she and five other youngsters helped build the Ontario section of the playground last July. “I will never forget those days,” Daven says about her three days last summer helping to build the playground. She says that each day was so much fun and she got to meet so many new people while doing it. Indeed, it was quite a bonding experience as Daven now feels very close to the other youngsters who worked on the project with her as well as with those involved in videoing the experience for the “Giver” TV show. “They are just my best friends forever now,” she says about all of those whom she met working on the playground. Daven was just seven years old when she was selected to help build the playground and to be videoed doing so for the “Giver” TV show. She still can’t get over it. “I was seven and I got to build a playground,” she says, noting that the experience may have changed her dream of being an actor or singer in later life. She is now thinking that being a builder of playgrounds and other projects might be in the works for her. Daven had successfully auditioned for being one of the youngsters chosen to work on this playground at Mooney’s Bay, creating a video as her audition presentation. She was selected and got to experience not only the building of the
Ontario section of the playground but also to enjoy other experiences like a helicopter ride over Parliament Hill and even meeting city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. All in all, Daven says that this playground building project was “the best three days of my life” which she will never forget. She notes that it is not just a little playground that was built but a “crazy big” playground involving all of Canada’s provinces. Indeed, it is billed as Canada’s biggest playground. The thrill of the experience all returned when she got to see for the first time the video result of her three days of playground building with the screening of the first epi-
sode of this playground building project on the “Giver” TV show on TVO Kids on April 26. It reduced the three days down to 26 minutes on the TV screen. Daven was one of six youth from across Canada cast in the first episode of the “Giver” TV show on TVO Kids. Over the course of 10 episodes, the program will be showing kids and volunteers working to build the 4,600 square metre Canada-shaped playground meant to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Each of Canada’s provinces and territories is represented in this playground which is the country’s biggest playground. She made a short video with her ideas about the playground and about why she
wanted to help build it. She submitted the video online. It was then announced that there would be a casting call in Ottawa. She and her mother Monic Buettner went to the casting call where Daven auditioned. A few weeks after the audition, she was called and told that she had been chosen to be part of the Ontario cast. Another Stittsville youngster, Ben Rodgers, also a student at Holy Spirit Catholic School, participated in this playground building project as well, working on another section of the playground. The segment of the “Giver” TV show involving his participation will be coming up in a future episode.

New videos help battle stigma of mental health issues: Qadri BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Ottawa Public Health, along with the Bell Let’s Talk program, has launched an expanded roster of five new videos of the “have THAT talk” mental health promotional video series. Mayor Jim Watson, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, chair of the Ottawa Board of Health, and Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s Medical Officer of Health, unveiled a new “have THAT talk” video series on mental health on May 4, during Mental Health Week (May 1-7). “With the support of Bell Let’s Talk and our collaborative work with over 15 national and local partners to create these evidence-based videos and activity guide, we are helping people talk about mental health and reach out to get the support and services they need,” said Coun. Qadri. “We know that there is no health
without mental health and by working together, we can continue to reduce stigma, build resilience and encourage people to get help sooner,” he said. The launch event for the expanded video series included Mary Deacon, Bell Let’s Talk mental health initiative chair, Dr. Ian Colman, Canada Research Chair in Mental Health Epidemiology, University of Ottawa, Dr. Ian Manion, director of the Youth Mental Health Research Unit at the Institute of Mental Health Research at the Royal, and Dr. Azaad Kassam, psychiatrist at QueenswayCarleton Hospital. They all participated in a panel discussion about mental health and how the new video series will help local residents and their families. “The new have THAT talk video series and activity guide presents an innovative way to give Ottawa residents helpful tips, tools, and information about how we can all work
“It is crucial that we work together as a community to educate people about the nature of mental illness and how to get support.” Coun. Shad Qadri
together to promote and protect positive mental health,” Mayor Watson said. “With one in five people experiencing a mental illness at some point in their lives, it is clear that these resources will be of benefit to many, not only in Ottawa, but across the country as well.” The information contained in the videos is based on best evidence in mental health, and each video was
reviewed by over 15 local and national partners in the mental health field, as well as those with lived experience. “Mental health support is such a critical need, which is why Bell Let’s Talk is very pleased to partner with Ottawa Public Health for the launch of the new have THAT talk mental health video series,” Deacon said. “By increasing awareness and understanding about mental illness, and encouraging everyone to talk about mental health, we can help people all around the country living with mental illness get the support they need,” she said. The new have THAT talk videos and activity guide can be found at www.havethattalk.ca. Available resources
The release of the videos coincided with Mental Health Week May 1-7, an annual mental health promotion initiative which provides opportunities to talk about mental health
and highlight the resources available within the community. The five new videos, along with an activity guide, explore the topics: How to Talk about Your Mental Health; Reducing Stigma; Building Resilience; Caring for yourself, the Caregiver; and Building Social Connections. “I highly encourage all residents to take an opportunity to review the videos by visiting haveTHATtalk. ca,” Qadri said. “It is crucial that we work together as a community to educate people about the nature of mental illness and how to get support. “The stigma surrounding mental illness is slowly starting to dissipate but it is far from dissolved,” Qadri said. “As community members, we still have a long way to go before the fear and feelings of shame from those who suffer silently can be treated in the same manner as physical illness.”

Lyn Leonard, resident of Arnprior, died peacefully in her sleep at the Brockville General Hospital on March 10th. She was born in Noranda, Quebec on September 30, 1940 to Marg and Harry Bender. Her husband and the love of her life, Ron and their cherished son, Steven, preceded her in death as did her dear siblings, Phyllis Allcorn and Jack Bender. She is survived by her daughter Susan (Chris) Vallom and her adored grandsons Liam and Riley Vallom of Prescott, Ontario. Also surviving is her very special niece, Jennifer (Stephen) Johnson and their children, Tabitha, Brendan, and Aidan. She was blessed with many nieces and nephews and cousins too many to list, as well. Lyn was a long time resident of Glen Cairn where she and Ron moved in 1971 to raise their family. She graduated from the Belleville General Hospital nursing program but left nursing to stay home with her children and to allow them the long summer vacations that Ron had as a teacher which they spent happily camping across Canada. Lyn devoted countless hours to volunteer activities in her community and she built many strong friendships within the UCW of Glen Cairn United Church and with Beta Sigma Phi. She returned to work as a special education teacher’s assistant after Susan left home and was fortunate to spend her final years at Glen Cairn Public School in her neighbourhood. She was a creative and talented artist and crafter who enjoyed painting, knitting, sewing, and in recent years Swedish weaving and she brought those hobbies with her when she moved in 2002 to White Lake. She also took a lot of pleasure from cooking and travelling and was able to indulge in both with her family and large circle of friends. Her heart disease slowed her down in recent years, but she did as much as she could when she was able and enjoyed every second! Please join with her family and friends on Saturday, May 20th from 12:30-3 at the Lion’s Den Community Centre at 170 Castlefrank Rd in Kanata for a celebration of her life. Before she died, we planned a party with her favourite poutine and Caesars and with lots of laughter and memories of a life well lived. I hope that those who knew and loved Mom can come and share their memories with us.

More drug education in schools: student By Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
A Grade 6 student in Kanata is calling for more specific drug education in schools at a younger age. Jessica Spirak, who attends Stephen Leacock Public School, wants to see education about harmful substances such as fentanyl and other opioids begin in Grade 5. “The problem is that when you get into middle school or high school there’s going to be pressure to take drugs,” said the 12-year-old. “But if we teach it at a younger age, we can maybe save the kids and give them the knowledge to say ‘No’ to it.” Students should be learning about harmful drugs such as fentanyl, carfentanil, morphine, heroin and methamphetamine during health classes, said Jessica. “Every 14 hours someone dies from an opioid overdose,” she said, citing Canadian statistics. “Less than two grains (the size of salt) of fentanyl can kill you, so that’s pretty small … they use carfentanil to calm down elephants so imagine what that’s going to do (to people).” Jessica started a campaign, with the help of her mother Tanya, to get education officials on board. She is writing letters to trustees, meeting with politicians and education officials, and speaking publicly about her desire for mandatory teaching on harmful drugs. She hopes more people will take up the call for change.

Jessica’s campaign was spurred by a public opioid meeting held in Kanata following the overdose death of a Grade 9 student at All Saints High School. “I wanted to ask the question why we don’t have education in the schools at a younger age. I went up and asked the question and nobody answered me the way I had expected it,” said Jessica, adding the answer she received was that drug education is being taught in the classrooms. “I thought, ‘But why am I not being taught that?’” She wants lessons to focus on what the drugs can do to a person, even if they only try it once. “If you don’t know about it that’s probably when you’re going to use it,” said Tanya, adding she did a lot of research herself when Jessica started asking questions. “Parents do not realize this is not being taught.” Tanya said she knows of at least three youth overdose deaths in the west-end community. As parents grapple with the issue, she said they should also be educating themselves. “Messaging has to come from everywhere,” she said. “I challenge parents to talk to their kids, to get more involved in their kids’ lives, to listen. We have to give our children the opportunity to be able to voice their concerns and to teach them the skills that they need to get through life.” TEACHER FLEXIBILITY The Ottawa public school board said teachers have flexibility within the curriculum to speak about topics “as they arise in the context of what’s being taught,” said Dr. Petra Duschner, psychologist and manager of mental health for the board in an email provided by the board’s communications department. “There are opportunities to build awareness and to provide addiction education around illicit drugs, including opioids.” In grades 4 and 5, education is focused on tobacco and alcohol. Marijuana is introduced in Grade 6, according to the curriculum. “The reason for this focus is that research tells us that they are the most available substances to students,” said Duschner. “In terms of specific information about substances — it is important to focus education and prevention on the substances that are most commonly used by students at that grade level.” See EDUCATION, page 41
Education can help prevent substance abuse Continued from page 40
Jessica said the goal should be to educate students before a particular substance — in this case opioids and in particular fentanyl — becomes an issue. “(The education) needs to be something — not to scare them — but something to get to them so that it means, ‘Don’t do it,’” she said. “And if they do get offered something, which they will probably, then they’ll know to say, ‘No.’” Jessica met with Paige O’Leary, the daughter of Sean O’Leary, who wrote an open letter detailing his family’s experience with Paige’s addictions, as well as number of other teenagers earlier this year. “They all said they wished they would have known the dangers of these at a younger age,” said Jessica. Sean, who started the parent support and resource group We The Parents and an offshoot for youth called We The Children, said teachers need to bring opioid awareness into their classrooms. “The main focus of We The Children, and FOR SALE
FOR SALE
that’s what Jessica is talking about, is getting the education to our children,” said Sean. “My daughter and most of her friends had no idea when they started doing drugs that they were doing fentanyl.” The education should include all the facts, long- and short-term side effects, how they affect the body, but also what people like about them, said Sean. “We’re asking our kids to make a decision that is life-altering based on the fact that us adults are saying, ‘Don’t do it, it’s bad and you can die,’” he said. “The fact is now the stuff can kill them. They deserve to be given all the facts. They’re making the decision, not us. So they should be educated, they should know.” Ottawa public school trustees Donna Blackburn and Christine Boothby both said peerto-peer education and parent involvement are part of the solution. “We can give information to the kids and we can give information to parents but I think a lot of it needs to be started with kids,” said Boothby, Kanata trustee and vice-chair of the board. “They listen to each other more than
FOR SALE
FOR SALE
they listen to parents.” Blackburn, trustee for Barrhaven and Knoxdale-Merivale, said a change in classroom education has to come from the province. “This is a curriculum issue, which is a provincial issue,” she said. “It’s not a trustee thing. As a trustee, I’m not an expert on when anybody should be educated or at what level. What I can say is that the health curriculum has been recently updated. So that’s good, it’s helpful. But I’m quite confident that there will be response to the opioid situation.” Sean Greson, who works for the Ministry of Education in issues management and media relations, said teachers can choose to include topics like opioids and fentanyl within health classes. “The overall learning expectations — mandatory learning, listed for substance use, addictions and related behaviours — do not preclude teaching and learning about other substances based on the professional judgment of the educator team in the school,” he said in an email. “Under the direction of boards and principals, teachers plan units of study, develop a
FOR SALE
FOR SALE
FOR SALE
variety of teaching approaches, and select appropriate resources to address the curriculum expectations, taking into account the needs and abilities of their students.” When asked if the ministry would add fentanyl and opioid education to the curriculum for elementary school students, Greson said the ministry’s health and physical education curriculum — updated in 2015 — addresses the topic of substance use and addictions “in a comprehensive, age-appropriate way.” “Education is one critical strategy that can help prevent substance abuse. Parents, guardians, educators and society in general all have key roles to play in educating students about substance use, misuse and abuse,” he said. Meanwhile, Jessica and Tanya continue to spread their message and on May 1, Ottawa Public Health visited Jessica’s class to talk about fentanyl and other opioids. “If this can save one other person’s life … and we can get more and more education out there, yes that’s what I want. That’s what Jessica wants.” — With files from Megan Delaire

Two and Three Mile cousins knew how to cause a stir
G
etting invited to a birthday party didn’t happen very often. Birthdays, if celebrated at all, were left to the family. And if your birthday was close to Easter, or Christmas, like mine was, all you got was cake with well-used candles on it. There would be no money for even the simplest of presents. But Two-Mile-Herman’s home was different. There were 11 children in his family, some of them married and on farms of their own, and there was young Cora, who was my age, and when her birthday rolled around, those of us who were in her grade were simply invited by an older brother or sister at recess at the Northcote School. There was no such thing as written invitations. And so, one Saturday, my brother Everett drove me over to the Barr Line in the buggy for Cora’s birthday party. The place was fair jumping by the time we got there. All Cora’s friends from school were there, as well as various cousins,
MARY COOK Memories including Three-Mile-Herman. Now, the two cousins didn’t always see eye-to-eye, and it was an everyday occurrence to see them come to blows behind the Northcote School over something as simple as failing to hit the ball, or make it to first base. Presents weren’t expected either. And if one was offered, it would be something simple like a little fancy hanky taken from a Christmas present, received from a rich aunt months before, or a toy watch from a box of crackerjacks. You were there to have fun, eat, and go home with one of the butterscotch suckers
gathered together with an elastic band, and bought at Briscoe’s General Store for a nickel a bunch. It didn’t take long for the boys to separate from the girls, going outside to play tag, shoot tin cans off the fence with their slingshots, or sitting on the pump platform playing marbles. Cora’s friends elected to stay inside, never taking our eyes off the big mile high cake in the centre of the kitchen table. It seems to me, all we were there for was to eat cake and go home with a butterscotch sucker. Cora’s mother eventually went to the back door, banged
a wooded spoon on the bottom of a tin pot, and the boys tore into the kitchen and with us girls circled the huge table that easily sat Two-Mile-Herman’s complete family. It was cake time, which to me was far more exciting than just sitting around doing nothing. Because inside the cake we knew there would be a few coins wrapped in wax paper, including a whole dime. No one knew who would get the dime. It depended entirely on where Cora’s mother cut into the cake. I was told by Mother before I left home that if I was the lucky one, I was to hand the dime over to Cora, which I didn’t think the least bit fair. Well, I needn’t have worried, because Three-Mile-Herman got it, and that’s when the fight started. Two-Mile told his cousin to hand it over to his sister Cora, but Three-Mile already had it in his pocket, and announced he’d be leaving because his Father would be waiting for him at the Northcote Side Road. Two-Mile threw
himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove. The rest of us sat around the kitchen table eating cake as if a free-for-all between the two cousins was an everyday occurrence, which it was. Cora’s mother simply went
Two-Mile threw himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove to the pump in the kitchen, pumped out a dipper of water, and threw it over the two boys, which brought the fight to a sudden halt. She just stood there with the dipper in her hand, and her arm stretched out. Three-Mile knew what she was after, and he pulled the
wax paper-wrapped dime from his pocket and handed it over, which was then handed over to Cora. Cora licked the cake off the wax paper, and tore upstairs with the dime to put it away for safekeeping. The party was over. Everett was waiting for me outside with the buggy, and I went home wondering why anyone bothered to have a birthday party in the first place. I would never be lucky enough to find a dime in my piece of cake, and besides, we had cake every Sunday, so that was no treat either. I talked it over with my sister Audrey, and we both decided celebrating birthdays at home with only the family was far better than getting all dressed up, just to come home with a butterscotch sucker!

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
canadiangolfclub.com/collections/ drop-the-shame-get-in-game
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, finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up aboutwhat you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can probably come up with something promising.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin, Sagittarius. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something, Taurus. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being. Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through. The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.
