Max’s Big Ride stops in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Max’s Big Ride to defeat Duchenne muscular dystrophy passed through Stittsville on Saturday, June 25 just a couple of hours after leaving Parliament Hill, the starting point of the 600 km ride from Ottawa to Hamilton. Five year old Max Sedmihradsky, who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy for which there currently is no cure, rode aboard a cargo bike pedalled by his father Andrew Sedmihradsky, with the pair arriving at Village Square Park in Stittsville about 12:15 p.m. Dad Andrew was wearing a bright yellow t-shirt for maximum visibility. In the warm sunshine at Village Square Park they were greeted by four Ottawa Fire Service firefighters from Station 46 on Iber Road. Unfortunately, the firefighters did not get to spend that much time with Max and his dad Andrew as they were called

away on an emergency, leaving the park at 12:30 p.m. with lights flashing on their fire truck. As well as the firefighters, there was a handful of supporters which met Max and Andrew at Village Square Park including two very special ones, Stephanie Poff of Stittsville and her 11 month old son Adam Poff. Stephanie knows what it is to have a child facing a life threatening condition, as Adam had a serious heart condition right at birth. But thanks to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, surgery was performed which has corrected the situation, although Adam is looking at additional surgeries later in life. But because of this experience, Stephanie wants to support other families who are facing medical challenges and so she and Adam turned out at Village Square Park to meet Max and his dad Andrew and cheer them on. They also got to meet Max’s mother Kerri Sedmihradsky as well as Adam’s new little sister, Isla who is only three months old. At Village Square Park, Max got to play on the water tower play structure and on the toy train at the park. See MAX’S BIG RIDE, page 3

Re-naming streets in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

What’s in a name? Quite a bit, if it’s your street’s name. The city of Ottawa earlier this year launched a project to re-name several streets in Stittsville and now the city has

come up with a list of suggested names, mostly with ties to Canadian flora and fauna, nature and aboriginal words, although at least one, Campground, has some local relevance. Other suggested names include Beluga, Bobcat, Groundhog, Moose, Polar Bear, and Sugar Shack. See STREET NAMES, page 5

His dad enjoyed a sandwich for lunch, eating at a picnic table in the shade of the station building at Village Square Park. He was joined by Max’s grandparents who brought the lunch. After replenishing water bottles and stocking up on ice and after Max enjoyed a batch of cherries, Max and Andrew headed off with their cargo bike just before 1:30 p.m., refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the day’s segment of the ride that would see them reach Smiths Falls. This is the second year that Max and his father Andrew have undertaken this Max’s Big Ride to help fund research to help find a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. See RAISING FUNDS, page 4

Raising funds to defeat Duchenne MD Continued from page 3

This is a rare and fatal disease that affects about one in every 3,500 boys. Last year Max’s Big Ride raised over $55,000 and it is hoped to meet or surpass this amount with this year’s ride. The ride will also raise the profile of Duchenne muscular dystrophy among Ontario residents and others. This year Max and his father Andrew received on Parliament Hill a letter from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, commending Max for his bravery and noting the generosity of the many Canadians who have donated to Max’s cause. For their part, Max and his father provided a Max’s Big Ride t-shirt for the prime minister. Andrew reported that as he rode along

and at Max’s urging, he told superhero stories which he created virtually all the way from Parliament Hill to Stittsville. Max, who rode in the cargo box of the bike with a wagon-train type shelter over part of it, was carrying a small replica ninja turtle with him. This stop at Village Square Park in Stittsville was the first one on the 600 kilometer Max’s Big Ride from Ottawa to Hamilton where the Sedmihradsky family lives. This year’s bike is a new, larger one than the one used last year. Last year no flat tires were experienced and the hope was the same this year, especially since the route taken for the ride was changed to include more travel on pavement rather than rougher portions of the Trans Canada Trail. See RIDE ENDING, page 5

Ride ending in Hamilton Continued from page 4

The goal is to travel about 85 kilometers each day of the seven-day ride. The route this year will see the ride go through Smiths Falls, Kingston, Belleville, Cobourg, Oshawa, Toronto and Mississauga before ending at Hamilton’s Bayfront Park. This is the second year for Max’s Big Ride and plans are for it to take place annually from Ottawa to Hamilton. The timing will always be in the last week of June so that the ride can finish on Canada Day in Hamilton. Funds raised by the ride will go to Jesse’s Journey, the only charity in Canada solely dedicated to funding promising research related to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne is a muscle disease that gradually weakens the body’s muscles. It is the most common and severe type of muscular dystrophy, affecting a child’s muscle growth. Their muscles tend to be easily damaged and break down. Most boys suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy are wheelchair bound by age 12 and often experience lung or heart failure past that age. But for the Sedmihradsky family, after being devastated by the diagnosis that Max had this fatal

disease with no cure as yet, the focus became on learning about treatments and finding a cure. That’s why they are doing everything they can to facilitate the finding of a cure including this Max’s Big Ride. Fortunately Max, who is five years old and is going into grade one in the fall, is one of only a few Canadian boys receiving a new treatment drug, Translarna (atluren) which is not yet approved for general use in Canada but which the family has been able to gain access through Health Canada’s Special Access Program. Translarna is not a cure but it does help a child’s condition. Indeed, since beginning the drug just a few months ago, Max’s parents report a definite improvement in his abilities such as going up and down stairs easier and walking longer distances without needing to hold onto a parent’s hand. However, the drug is not yet covered by insurance or government funding, so Max’s family is paying for it thanks to the generosity of their family, friends and supporters. Max has loved zooming along on the back of his dad’s bike ever since he has been old enough to do so. So joining his dad on a 600 kilometer ride with a cargo bike is something which excites him and he enjoys.

Street names Continued from page 1

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Andrew Sedmihradsky, with his five year old son Max Sedmihradsky as a passenger, pedals away from the station building at Village Square Park in Stittsville as they continue on their journey in “Max’s Big Ride” to defeat Duchenne muscular dystrophy last Saturday, June 25 after stopping at Village Square Park for lunch and a break.

The streets needing new names because they are duplicate or similar sound street names to others in the city include Bell Street, Goulbourn Street, Elm Crescent, Long Meadow Way and Meadowland Drive. Walker Road was another street included in the initial announcement about the need for new street names but a suggestion arising from the community that it be renamed Henry Walker Grove has already been approved by the city. A list of suggested names has been recently delivered to all affected residents on these streets, requesting that they submit their preferences to the city regarding a potential street name. The deadline for such input is Monday, July 11. Earlier this year, residents of these streets were informed that the existing street name will have to change because of similarity with another street name within the city. Residents were asked to provide suggestions for a new street name. In addition, all residents of Stittsville were asked to consider possible street names for these streets. City staff reviewed all of the suggested new street names which were submitted, screening them to ensure that they are appropriate and meet the city’s standards for such names. A number of the suggested names did not pass this screening. Names were rejected for such reasons as they contained a number (e.g. Five Cross) or honoured someone previously commemorated (e.g. William Bell, Henry Goulbourn) or already were in use in the city (e.g. Balsam, Alder, Honeysuckle, Eastop, Rattray) or sounded similar to an existing street name.

#yakstrong fundraiser at Johnny Leroux Arena This post is written with most of the text coming from a Rideau Valley Conservation Authority press release from late last week. With such little rain recently and in the forecast, it is expected that the drought status for the Rideau River watershed will pass the threshold from Minor to Moderate Severity. Flows in the Rideau River at Ottawa are 15% of normal for the time of year. Larger tributary streams are about 6% of normal and many small streams are intermittent or dry. Aquatic habitat is becoming limited for all species. Lake levels in the Rideau Canal reservoir lakes are declining gradually but are within the target ranges. That will not be helped by the forecast warmer temperatures over the weekend that will increase the rate of evaporation. We (RVCA) continue to recommend water conservation for everyone in the watershed particularly in those areas where residents rely on wells. Holders of Permits to Take Water from surface or groundwater sources are encouraged to reduce their actual taking as much as possible. Conservation Authority staff continue to monitor conditions and communicate with water managers throughout the watershed through the Rideau Valley Water Response Team. This message will remain in effect for the next five days. An update will be issued when forecast weather indicates a significant change. To learn more about Ontario’s Low Water Response program visit: https://www.ontario.ca/ page/low-water-response-program. Also, visit the RVCA website (www.rvca.ca) for local conditions. In order that we can track impacts of the drought conditions in the watershed, we request that any individuals or businesses in the Rideau Watershed who may be experiencing difficulties with their wells please contact the Conservation Authority by calling 613-692-3571 or 1-800-267-3504, ext. 1128 or 1132.

More reliability with new Abbott Street hydro line John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The new hydro line along the south side of Abbott Street from Stittsville Main Street to Shea Road will increase the reliability of the hydro system in Stittsville while also providing power for upcoming growth in the Fernbank lands. This new hydro line, which should be installed by this fall, will tie in with two planned upgrades to north/south hydro lines as well as the new underground service already installed along Stittsville Main Street. All of this will increase the redundancy available to the hydro system in this area of Stittsville, resulting in minimizing outages and reducing the duration of any outages. In addition, more automated equipment is being installed on this new line so that Hydro Ottawa’s operations centre can handle certain outages without resorting to sending Hydro Ottawa personnel out to fix the problem on site. A new Terry Fox Station on Michael Cowpland Drive in Kanata, along with the existing Janet King Station on Hazeldean Road beside RONA, will be supplying the power for this new line as well as the other planned north/south improvements. The Alexander Station on Maple Grove Road, which is an Ontario Hydro facility, has been supplying power to Stittsville but Ontario Hydro has asked Hydro Ottawa to move customers off the facility as it needs the capacity to service customers in its own service area. Associated with this new hydro line along the south side of Abbott Street are planned improvements to upgrade north/ south lines along Springbrook Drive and also along Sweetnam Drive and Granite Ridge Drive. When these two north/south improvements between Hazeldean Road and Abbott Street are made, the existing hydro line that runs from Hazeldean Road to Abbott Street adjacent to the Amberwood golf course and through Wyldewood/Amberwood backyards will be removed by Hydro Ottawa. All of this will result in more redundancy in the system, meaning fewer outages and increased reliability. The initial stretch of this new Abbott

Street line from Stittsville Main Street eastward beyond the log building at the east end of Village Square Park will be underground. This is because the log building is right adjacent to the street and an overhead line in this location would go right over the building which would be a health and safety hazard. Hence the new line is going underground to east of this log building, after which it will be an overhead line right through to Shea Road. Two overhead lines currently serving homes on the north side of Abbott Street between Stittsville Main Street and Carberry Street will be switched to underground as part of this project. The poles for the new overhead line on the south side of Abbott Street are being placed so that they can accommodate city of Ottawa street lighting. This street lighting is not yet in any budget so it will not be going in right away. Abbott Street, though, is considered under lit for its type of street. In addition, the city is switching its street lighting to more energy efficient LED lighting. Any new lighting will be directional lighting with no spill over impact on residential properties on the north side of Abbott Street. This new hydro line on the south side of Abbott Street will be installed by this fall. Work is expected to take five or so weeks. Already tree trimming has taken place along the route of the new line. This tree trimming and some tree removal involved providing clearance from trees of three metres for the new line. It has been shown that tree trimming to provide such a three metre clearance from trees reduces hydro outages by 40 percent. Contact by trees and branches with hydro lines can cause damage to the line, resulting in an outage. Hydro Ottawa does not expect to have to return to do tree trimming along this new hydro line for 15 or 20 years. Hydro Ottawa is removing any stumps in the hydro line corridor. This area beneath the new line is going to receive topsoil and will be seeded so that there will grass that can be maintained from the curb right up to the pole line. At a public information session in Stittsville about the new Abbott Street hydro

Get Your Plumbing Problem Fixed Right, Right Away

line on Thursday, June 23, city of Ottawa councillor Shad Qadri, in response to a question, said that putting the new line underground and paying for the additional million dollar expense through a special area tax levy was not considered in this case because the number of taxpayers involved was too small. This was an approach taken in Kanata North but in that situation, the whole Kanata North area was involved, making such a levy feasible. It was pointed out at the meeting that hydro rates will not be increased as a result of this new Abbott Street hydro line as the expense, believed to be around half a million dollars, is covered in Hydro Ottawa’s budget. It was also pointed out at the meeting that burying a line underground results in longer outages because it takes longer to find the problem and longer to restore the service than in the case of an overhead line where the problem can be quickly located and rectified. Amberwood resident Milica Tomacic argued that the new line should be placed

underground as the overhead line could adversely affect the health of students and others walking along the nearby Trans Canada Trail as well as those who attend the annual Canada Day celebrations at the front of Sacred Heart High School where the new line will be running. Hydro Ottawa follows the standards set by Health Canada and by these standards there should be no impact on users of the Trans Canada Trail. Ms. Tomacic also expressed the feeling that the new hydro line would reduce property values of homes near the north side of the street, as the new overhead line will be clearly visible from the properties. She also complained that the information meeting was not well publicized, resulting in a low turnout of less than ten people. However, councillor Qadri said that his staff delivered notices about the meeting to all of the homes backing onto Abbott Street and included information about the meeting in his electronic column and in his newspaper column.

Be the bigger nation with many friends

ith Canada Day here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth reviewing all the reasons why we should be thankful. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at peace. We have order. And most Canadians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; based on recent elections â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would agree we have good government. We have been battered a bit by a drop in oil revenue, but Canada appears very capable of moving forward. We have a federal government that is making a growing middle class a priority. We have federal unity. The system works well. When one part of Canada sees good times, it shares the wealth with others. When one province is hurting, the others are there to help. In good times or in bad, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to have many friends. Being part of something big helps smooth out the ups and down of an economy. Clearly we are better when we are part of something larger. Our forbearers figured that out in 1867. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only added provinces since then; never subtracted.

We can today look across the Atlantic to see a United Kingdom that has voted to leave the European Union. That was a vote from the heart, not the brain. As a smaller economic block, the U.K. will enjoy good times and bad times, but the extremes will no longer be so smooth. There is already talk of further splintering; a possible referendum in Scotland, and a united Ireland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Northern Ireland joining the Republic of Ireland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could mean the U.K. is just England and Wales. How long then until Wales wants to go it alone? From this side of the Atlantic, the division of Europe could spur some in Canada to think with their hearts too. But now is the time to sit back and watch what all this division will mean for newly created smaller economies that begin operating independently. We have been delivered an opportunity to watch the results of the experiment. We wish the U.K. the best of luck, but we remain here the bigger nation.

Enjoying the game without a soundtrack

here are signs that big-time baseball could happen again in Ottawa. And there are also signs that Ottawa is not quite ready for it. The turnout for the Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend games between the Ottawa Champions and the Cuban National Team was outstanding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than 5,000 per game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing to mind the mid â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, when the Ottawa Lynx made the stadium on Coventry Road the place to be. The attendance even exceeded the last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big weekend when the Winnipeg Goldeyes were in town. The stadium was up to the challenge. Food lines were not too long, staff were friendly and helpful, alternative parking across the street helped ease the strain on RCGT Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shrunken lot. What doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, and needs

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town to be fixed if baseball is ever to become a major factor in Ottawa again, is the road system leading to the ballpark. The bridge over the Queensway at Riverside and the Vanier Parkway was horribly congested with cars converging from all directions. That needs to be fixed somehow. Yes, you could take the bus, but in order for that to happen, bus service has to be made more convenient for more people. Once inside, however, all troubles were forgotten. The weather was beautiful, which is all-important in this town. The fans could

choose between sun and shade. They liked the between-innings stunts. The scoreboard works. The announcing is bilingual. The umpiring was fine. After the Sunday game, kids were allowed to run the bases and fathers were allowed out on the field to play catch with their sons, daughters and grandchildren, a nice touch. And the quality of baseball continues to be excellent. Inning after inning, plays of major-league calibre were made and the fans appreciated it. Adding to the flavour of the game was a section along the right-field line full of Cuban fans with drums of all sorts and a solitary but spirited trombone. They brought a cheerful and rhythmic intensity to the proceedings. Unfortunately they were too often drowned out by loud outbursts,

musical and otherwise, from the stadium sound system. Which brings up a suggestion, one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only one to make. How about a game with no artificial noise, no recorded music, no electronic prompts to fans to MAKE SOME NOISE. Then we could hear the game, listen to the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chatter, maybe even converse with our neighbours. Just try it once, see if people like it. Last summer, I had a chance to talk with the stadium organist at Fenway Park in Boston. I had noticed that the fans were never ordered to make noise and I asked about that. I was told it was a deliberate decision, when Fenwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new scoreboard was installed, to avoid that sort of thing. Boston fans, the thinking went, were knowledgeable enough to know when to cheer. I would hope we are too, not just in baseball but in all sports.

games find the noise level annoying, not to mention difficult for small children. And they wonder why there is a need to pump artificial excitement into an already exciting event. Baseball, a reflective game with a lower adrenaline level than hockey, actually benefits from a sense of calm. How about it?

Speaker lists benefits of weeds John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

There are at least a dozen different species of edible and medicinal plants that commonly are called weeds. “I love weeds,” Amber Westfall told those at the June meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, June 21 at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville, adding that she hoped to convince those at the meeting to love them as well. She started out her presentation entitled “Wayward Weeds and Wild Bounty” by listing some of the benefits of weeds, trying to break the commonly-held idea that weeds are something that should be removed. Benefits of weeds include breaking up compacted soil, repelling or attracting pests, serving as a pollinator habitat, covering care soil, retaining moisture and being a source of nutrient dense food and medicine. Amber, who operates a business called “The Wild Garden” with the aim of reconnecting people and plants, said that her favourite benefit from weeds is being a source of nutricious food and being plants with medicinal properties. She pointed out that some wild tomatoes have 30 times more of a heart-protective compound called lycopene than cultivated tomatoes. Amber claimed that healthy nutrients have been bred out of the human diet over the past 10,000 years, as agriculture has opted for the development of food that is sweeter tasting, uniform in size for ease of harvesting and able to be transported long distances, all to the detriment of food’s nutritional profile. Food today is grown for everything but its nutrition and flavour, she claimed. “Cultivated plants are like the spoiled kids in the family,” she explained, as everything is done for them such as watering and protection from pests. Wild plants, on the other hand, have no one looking after them and so develop defense mechanisms involving more nutrients to ward off threats. She quoted author Authur Haines as stating that one of the most significant ways in which a person can include more nutritious and cancer protective compounds in the diet is to eat as many wild plants as possible. She cited the nutrient loss in cultivated food from the period 1940 to 1990 as being 99 percent for vitamin A in carrots and 80 percent for vitamin C in apples. She said that essential micro

nutrients such as copper, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium have all been lost in today’s foods. Wild foods are up to ten times healthier to east than cultivated produce, she said as they have higher amounts of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Dandelions, for example, have eight times more antioxidants than the co-called super food spinach while some wild crab apples have many times more nutrients than cultivated apples. Among the wild plants that are edible or have medicinal properties include dandelions, Burdock, Lambs Quarters, Garlic Mustard, violet leaves, Chickweed, Stinging Nettle, Winter Cress, Dame’s Rocket (also known as wild phlox), Shepherd’s Purse and daylilies. Citing the dandelion, she said that she loves the dandelion because every part of it has a use as food or medicine. The root can be used to make a coffee substitute that has a chocolaty, nutty taste. The leaves are edible and the stocks can be used to make syrup or wine. Medicinally, the dandelion can help the urinary system. She noted that there is a clinical trial underway now regarding treating cancer with a dandelion root extract. Indeed, dandelion roots are now selling in the range of $48 a pound because of these health benefits. She said that the dandelion has lots of vitamins and minerals, noting that it has more vitamin “A” than a carrot. She said that the dandelion was brought to North America by the early settlers for its medicinal purposes rather than its edible features. With regard to Burdock, she noted that it, like the dandelion, has both edible and nutrition benefits, saying that it is loaded with calcium and magnesium. She said that Burdock root can be eaten raw or shredded and used in salads. It can be cooked and eaten and can be used as a coffee substitute. Amber said that Lambs Quarters, known for its nutritious leafy greens, is loaded with all kinds of vitamins and minerals. She suggested that it should be called wild spinach as most people use it as they would use spinach. It can be steamed or sauted and is tasty on pizza, she said. She said that it has a nice mild flavour to it, not a bitter taste like with other wild plants such as the dandelion. Stinging Nettle is another plant which can be used like spinach, with Amber calling it a super food that is loaded with calcium and magnesium that can be used as

a treatment for anemia. She said that Stinging Nettle soup in the spring is delicious. Amber made it clear that while wild plants are becoming popular, there is a need to have a knowledge of them to prevent confusion with what could be a similar but deadly plant. She herself teaches day-long courses on wild plants, with a whole day used to teach about just one wild plant. She also mails out to customers a monthly herbal box which contains various wild plant products as well as information about how to use them. For example, one month the box could feature crabapple butter while another month, the box may include a plant that treat sunburns.

Busy summer of activities at Richmond library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Rosemary Morrison is the new supervisor at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library. She is replacing Karen Craig who has retired. Rosemary has worked for the Ottawa Public Library for 11 years. She started at the Stittsville branch and then was involved with children’s programming at the Beaverbrook branch for six years. Last year, she filled a temporary supervisory position which gave her experience helpful in her new role now as public service supervisor at the Richmond and North Gower branches of the Ottawa Public Library. And this summer promises to be a busy time at the Richmond library branch. The TD Summer Reading Club will be operating again this summer. Youngsters who register for the Club will receive a free reading kit containing stickers and an activity booklet. For every book read, a TD Summer Reading Club member will receive a piece of LEGO to be used to help create a LEGO sculpture in the branch. This LEGO activity is replacing the marble maze of past years which just

wore out and could no longer be used. The goal for the TD Summer Reading Club at the Richmond library is to read a total of 2,500 books this summer. And there’s a challenge this summer between the Richmond and Munster branches to see which library branch’s TD Summer Reading Club can read more books. And remember, participating in the TD Summer Reading Club is all free. All you need to do is register and start reading. Weekly programs are going to be held at the Richmond library branch through the summer. These programs, suitable for youngsters aged 6 to 12 years, will be offered on Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. They will include Wild at HeART on July 6; Nature Up Close on July 13; Underwater Adventure on July 20; Creepy Crawlers on July 27; River Adventure on Aug. 3; Monster Trackers on Aug. 10; and a closing party on Aug. 17. Online registration is required for attendance at these weekly programs. But this is not all. There is going to be a special evening family storytime held every Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. from July 6 to Aug. 17. There is no registration required; just drop in and enjoy the storytime.

But there is even more that is going to be happening! Ray’s Reptiles will be presenting an Endangered Ontario Show on Monday, July 25 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. This is for youngsters aged 3 to 12 years with online registration required. On the same day, Monday, July 25 from 3:15 p.m. to 4 p.m., there will be a storytime and craft session. This is on a drop-in basis with no registration required and all youngsters welcome. Another special program this summer at the Richmond library will be “River Adventure!” on Wednesday, Aug. 3 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. In this program, youngsters ages 8 to 12 will journey into the wild, following in the footsteps of the voyageurs of old. Youngsters will be joining a team of fur-trading voyageurs in a game of backwoods survival. Online registration is required for attendance at this special program. So, there’s going to be lots going on at the Richmond library this summer. And there’s lots to see at the library now as well, with a squirrel tree house display, a shark over a doorway, palm trees, a display of stuffed animals and a scene involving elephants and JOHN CURRY/METROLAND giraffes. It’s worth dropping in just to view these new additions to the li- Rosemary Morrison is the new public service supervisor at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library. brary’s décor.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

June 30, 2016

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Back in April, when Medical Officer of Health, Dr Isra Levy stated his support for supervised injection services (SIS), I said publicly that I could not personally support SIS, but that as the Board of Health (BOH) Chair, I was prepared to listen to the evidence and the experts when it comes to important health issues such as mental health and addictions. Staff released their report on SIS on June 13th. At the BOH meeting, Monday June 20th, the SIS report was presented to the Board and public for review and discussion. Fifteen public delegations spoke on the item. Having read the report, reviewing the three recommendations put forward in the report and listening to the 15 public delegates, I made the decision to support recommendations one and three. As for recommendation two I have not yet heard anything that convinces me to change my personal position in its entirety. Public consultation is imperative on this item. Once we have engaged city wide, with members of the public and other community partners I will then review this option further. I am very interested in receiving our results from the discussions going forward before lending support to any specific proposal. I have concerns for the substance abusers; however, I also have concerns for the neighbourhood residents, schools and businesses that would have an SIS located ‘around the corner’. For this reason it is integral that we work with community partners to have a comprehensive approach based on harm reduction and treatment. In 2013, I had the opportunity to visit “Insite”- the first legalized injection site in Canada located in the downtown eastside of Vancouver. The congregation of drug users, the conditions of the environment, and the police “no go zone” area was not what I was anticipating. I was not prepared to witness the reality of their lifestyle. As Chair of the BOH it is now my responsibility to review various programming and opportunities that support OPH’s mandate of the prevention of disease, injury, death and disability. Based on recent medical studies and the data that has come forward the ultimate goal here is to not only look at providing a supervised and clean environment but to offer a strong program of rehabilitation in which to help these struggling citizens reintegrate with society. I want to ensure that the model chosen for an SIS in the City of Ottawa should not only offer a space where a user can inject but also offer a supported place with the supervision of medically trained staff and professional assistance. The site needs to have the availability and encouraged opportunity to enter into rehabilitation. Treatment services exist to help people who misuse substances to use less or less harmfully. These services include; prevention programs, drug counselling, detoxification, and harm reduction programs. These need to be incorporated into whatever model we consider going forward. The only public consultation done thus far was conducted privately by the Sandy Hill Community Health Center. As the City advocate for public health OPH needs to review consultation on a broader scale to encompass multiple stake holders across the City. The legal operation of an SIS requires an exemption under section 56 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) which is granted by the Federal Minister of Health. In June 2015 the federal government passed into law the Respect for Communities Act, which amends the CDSA to set out extensive criteria for exemption applications included for example; scientific evidence supporting the need in a specific area, financial plan and letters of opinion by stakeholders including the Ministers of Health and Public Safety, MOH, Mayor, Chief of Police and measures to address any concerns raised. The final decision to grant the approval of an application for an SIS location lies in the hands of the federal government. The provincial and federal government has expressed their support for enhancing harm reduction services. With this in mind I put a motion forward at Monday’s meeting, that any incremental operating costs over and above existing operations directly related to improvements in access to harm reduction services, including SIS, be funded by the federal and or provincial resources. Unfortunately my motion was defeated. In the next two weeks OPH will have a link set up where residents from across the city will have the opportunity to participate in the consultation on this item. A report with recommendations from this engagement will be compiled for this fall. I will let the community know when the link is available so that you may provide your input on the SIS. Happy Canada Day To all residents, I would like to extend a warm and heartfelt “Happy Canada Day”. Amidst a sea of red and white, Canada Day is one of my absolute favourite holidays because it brings people together despite their differences to share in their love of our home: the truth north strong and free. This is Canada’s 149th anniversary of independence. We are quickly approaching what is sure to be an incredible landmark 150th celebration next year so I would like to invite all residents to enjoy this year with excitement and anticipation, keeping in mind that it is our kindness toward one another that makes us truly Canadian. You don’t have to leave Stittsville to celebrate either. On July 1st, the Stittsville Village Association will be hosting an array of family activities which will run from 3-10 pm at Sacred Heart High School. For more information or to sign up as a volunteer, please email Tanya.hein76@gmail.com. Happy Canada Day to everyone and remember to celebrate responsibly, be careful around fireworks, plan your routes in advance, and drive attentively. 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.

Lions donate $1,000 to Fayle family John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Stittsville District Lions Club has stepped up to help out the Fayle family as it deals with an unexpected eye situation that could have left Joshua Fayle blind if not dealt with immediately. The Lions Club donated $1,000 to the Fayle family to help it deal with the expenses related to surgery, contacts and other expenses related to Joshua’s sudden eye problem. These

expenses are estimated in the $4,000 to $5,000 range. In addition, at the Lions Club’s June 8th meeting at which the Lions Club presented the Fayle family with the $1,000 donation, the family also received a $500 donation from Kodiak Snowblowing and Lawn Care where Joshua’s mother Jennifer works. It was back in February 2015 when Joshua went for his regular eye appointment, just expecting a new prescription. He was referred by his eye

doctor to a specialist. Eventually the specialist sent Joshua to the Eye Institute for a Nov. appointment. He was diagnosed with Keratoconus which was progressing rapidly, with the possibility that he would be blind within two months. This led to immediate surgery called cross linking which is not covered by OHIP and costs $1,500 per eye. This cost, totalling $3,000, was taken care of by the Kanata Lions Club and a previous employer. Following this, there were special medicines required that were not covered by OHIP and other costs such as parking at the hospital. But Joshua’s problems did not stop there.

Community newspaper readership remains strong in Ottawa and Valley, report shows Community newspapers are alive and well across eastern Ontario. New research conducted by BrandSpark International confirms it. The Community Newspaper Impact Report, conducted in partnership with Metroland Media, found that 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed have read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland Media community newspaper. That rate includes the nine papers in Ottawa and another six in the Valley. Even more encouraging, 90 per cent of young adults surveyed aged 18-34 across Metroland’s east region report reading their community paper as much or more now than they did a year ago. That number climbs to 93 per cent among all adults surveyed. “There is unquestionably a lot of discussion around the role of newspapers in the modern era, and the future of newspapers as a medium,” said Mark Baltazar, Vice President and Partner at BrandSpark International. “But it’s clear from this research that the community news format – free newspapers and websites focused on hyperlocal news – plays a major role in people’s lives.” According to the findings, more Ontarians surveyed identified community newspapers as the most involved entity in their community. “Community newspapers, whether in print or online, provide a unique service in Ontario, offering community-level news and information that consumers can’t find anywhere else,” explained Michelle Digulla, Vice-President of Marketing at Metroland Media. “Not only is that leading to high levels of trust and engagement, but it’s motivating our readers to take action based on what they see in our properties.”

In fact, 77 per cent of the community newspaper readers surveyed agreed that the content of those papers drove them to take action – either visiting a store, buying something, telling someone about a “great deal or product” or going to a website to learn more.

study focused on readership for the more than 100 local websites and community newspapers (including flyers) published across Ontario by Metroland Media, such as the Kanata Kourier-Standard and Ottawa East News. The margin of error is +/-0.85 per cent.

Further, the report found: • 75 per cent of Ontarians surveyed believe their community newspaper or local news website connects them to their community, • printed flyers and promotional materials are used by 81 per cent of respondents to get local shopping information, ahead of store websites (71 per cent) and emails from stores or companies (68 per cent), • more than 7 in 10 (71 per cent) Ontarians surveyed indicated their community newspaper has a positive impact on their local community.

About Metroland Media

The Community Newspaper Impact Report is the second phase of a major research study undertaken by BrandSpark and Metroland. The first wave of results were published in the Community Newspaper Readership Report in February 2016 and included the following findings: • the typical issue is read twice (2.22 times), and kept in the house for an average of almost four days (3.65 days), • a Metroland community newspaper is most commonly read by two adults in every household, • an average of 22 minutes is spent reading every issue of the community newspaper and any enclosed flyers. More than 13,000 adults within Metroland’s circulation footprint across Ontario were surveyed online and by phone for the study, which was conducted from Nov. 24, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016. The

New barber shop Continued from page 22

And if you have a beard, the Stittsville Barber Shop is just the place for you. That’s because Steve and Rick are experienced in trimming beards. This is a hard-to-find skill to develop but it’s at the Stittsville Barber Shop. Who knows – perhaps Santa Claus will someday drop in for a trim of his famous beard! The Stittsville Barber Shop will be specializing in military cuts and indeed, as part of the shop’s opening specials, military cuts are being offered for free until Saturday, July 30. Other opening specials include a men’s haircut for $14 (regular $18) and haircuts for seniors and kids for only $11. The Stittsville Barber Shop also will handle barbering related to special events like weddings and birthday parties. The Stittsville Barber Shop will be holding a grand opening in a few weeks. The shop held a soft opening on Thursday, June 23 and it turned out to be a rather busy day, with a number of people dropping in to check out the premises and

meet Steve and Rick. Steve and Rick have placed two chairs on each side of the entrance doorway facing Stittsville Main Street which they will use themselves when taking a break or which customers can frequent if they wish. The Stittsville Barber Shop did not take long to get involved in the community, as Rick and Steve hosted a fundraiser for the Mark Yakabuski family last Sunday. Mark is a Stittsville resident who suffered a serious spinal injury in a freak accident involving a golf cart. Last Sunday the shop was open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with all of the revenue from haircuts going to the Yakabuski family. In addition, there were free hot dogs, juice boxes, lollipops and water bottles given away at the event courtesy of Rick and Steve.

‘The Amazing Race’ stops in Stittsville John Curry

Got Events?

john.curry@metroland.com

“The Amazing Race” came to Stittsville on Friday evening, June 24. No, not the reality TV show itself but a live version of its format organized by the Lifecentre Church of Ottawa for its youth group. A total of 12 teams of four youth, each with an adult driver, participated in this competition on a warm, sunny evening. Last year’s inaugural event had involved six teams. There were three Stittsville stops in this city-wide challenge competition, which began with a Lego building challenge at Village Square Park. Then it was off to the Kung Fu Bistro restaurant at the shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road where the teams had to make and eat sushi rolls before moving on to the third challenge which was at The Grounds Café at the Shoppes at Fairwinds shopping area on Hazeldean Road at Huntmar Drive. At The Grounds Café, the teams had to search through a jar of beans to find lettered beans with which the name “Algonquin” had to be spelled out as Algonquin College was the next destination in this “The Amazing Race” competition.

The first team arrived at the Kung Fu Bistro location at 7:40 p.m. after completing the first challenge at Village Square Park. Other teams arrived at Kung Fu Bistro intermittently soon after the first team. Six tables had been set up on the sidewalk area outside the restaurant where the teams had to complete the challenge of making and eating sushi rolls. Sushi supplies were set up on the tables and Kung Fu Bistro staff member Selena McNeilly, who has been making sushi rolls for about two years, gave demonstrations to the teams on how to cut and eat eel, applying super spicy green chilli hot sauce to the cut eel. Another part of the challenge was to make a Bruce Lee sushi roll in three minutes. A Bruce Lee sushi roll has the most ingredients of any sushi roll. The teams, after being shown how to make these sushi treats, had to make them using the proper rolling and cutting techniques. There is, for example, a proper way to slice the eel using a knife. There is also a ball of rice involved, which must be hand made to an appropriate size. One member of each team had to eat the sushi roll made by the team before the challenge was complete and the team could rush to its vehicle and move on to the

next challenge at The Grounds Café. The last of the 12 teams left this Kung Fu Bistro challenge location at 8:10 p.m., ending a hectic half hour of sushi making outside the restaurant. This Kung Fu Bistro portion of this “Amazing Race” was coordinated by Irene Shao who is an international student in the Hotel and Hospitality Program at Algonquin College. Members of the participating teams in this “Amazing Race” competition ranged in age between 13 and 18 years and were accompanied by an adult driver. The youth came from various parts of the city of Ottawa including Orleans, Kanata and South Keys as well as from Embrun and Renfrew. The competition was hosted by the Lifecentre Church which was founded in Ottawa in 1981 and which now has three locations in the National Capital Area including in Kanata, Orleans and Blackburn Hamlet. The Lifecentre Church tries to present the message of Jesus and the Gospel through engaged worship and growth-guided teaching.

Estate planning seminar for seniors John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Planning is key in maintaining control of your assets for both yourself and your heirs. That was a message delivered loud and clear by financial planner Mark Craig at a free seniors seminar on estate planning at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Thursday, June 23. He referred to the statement “Many people spend a lifetime of effort accumulating personal wealth and very little time preserving it!,” noting that the you need to plan for your estate following your death. Such a plan should include a will and powers of attorney, selection of an executor, listing important papers and their location, understanding how taxes will affect an estate and taking steps to limit tax liability, knowing what income family will receive from the estate, ensuring up-to-date beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, pension plans and RRSP’s/RRIF’s and putting a plan in place to cover future health care and nursing home costs so that the estate is not eroded by mounting medical and living expenses. Mark advised developing such a plan, probably by contacting a tax and estate planning specialist to understand what options are available to you and then putting a plan in place. A lawyer may also be involved to ensure that the plan is set up properly from a legal standpoint. Mark explained that when a person passes away, an estate is simply a person’s assets or what he or she owns minus what the person may owe. When a person dies, there is what is called probate which ensures that things are in order for whatever

is included in the will. Probate charges by the province range from .5 percent to 1.5 percent depending on the value of the estate. Mark suggested that avoiding probate is a good thing in some cases. This can be done by assigning beneficiaries to such things as insurance policies. With regard to investing to build up wealth, Mark advised taking the long term view and have a diversified portfolio with not everything in the stock market, for example, and with a diversity of stocks and bonds.

Grade seven/eight students present play ‘Hoodie’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

A group of grade seven and eight students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School recently presented a play entitled “Hoodie.” This was the second grade seven/eight play presented at the school this school year, with an earlier play being presented before Christmas. About 60 students were involved in the production, with on-stage roles including participating in one of the play’s many vignettes as well as involvement with group scenes in the play. Olivia Piercey, a grade seven student who performed in the play, said that being in one of the vignettes with lines to say gave everyone an opportunity to shine on stage. Every student who wanted to participate was able to do so. Students, though, went through an audition process so that students could be matched with suitable roles. The play dealt with how a student was dealing with issues related to being an individual while also getting along with the group. Funds raised by the play were donated to CHEO for its mental health services helping teens with problems that they face in life. The characters in the play were trying to deal with such problems. Grade seven student Kathryn Basinger was another of the actors in the play while

grade eight student Jessica Hay served as the opening and closing MC while helping run the play backstage in between her MC appearances. The students practiced after school and sometimes at lunch time as they prepared for the play. Kathryn Basinger enjoyed being involved in the play as she got to hang out with a lot of fellow students while preparing the play. She also enjoying having her own role on stage in the play. Olivia Piercey said that she made a lot of new friends from her involvement in the play. She also thought that the play exposed the students to some of the problems and dilemmas which students can face in their high school years. Jessica Hay echoed this sentiment, saying that the play in its storyline showed students that other students share their feelings of insecurity associated with the teen years. Both Kathryn and Olivia expressed the hope that they would be involved in the grade seven/eight plays in the 2016-17 school year when they will be in grade eight. Jessica Hay, who will be in grade nine in the coming school year, said that she hoped to get involved in other drama productions in her high school years. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND All three students praised the teachers involved with the play for being so supportive Three Sacred Heart High School students who were involved with the recent grade and understanding in organizing and pro- seven/eight play presented at the school are, from left, Kathryn Basinger, Jessica Hay and Olivia Piercey. ducing the play.

Stittsville garden on 2016 Water Garden Tour John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

By day, Jo-Anne Ilkiw’s garden on Norway Spruce Street in Stittsville is a spectacular oasis with five water features, flower beds, an organic vegetable garden and even a remote control miniature race car track. Just awesome! But add over 1,000 candles, a bevy of Christmas lights, a three-piece musical group and refreshments, all encased in the developing darkness of a warm June evening, and you have awesome multiplied tenfold. And this is what over 30 people got to experience and enjoy on Saturday evening, June 25 at the Ilkiw garden as it was the only garden on the 2016 Water Garden Tour organized by the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society to offer viewing in an evening setting. It was also one of the ten gardens on this year’s tour which were open for visiting throughout the day on Saturday, June 25. And while touring a garden lit by candlelight and Christmas lights offered perhaps a unique experience for those present, just playing music outside in a garden setting definitely was a new experience for “The Killer B’s,” a three piece ensemble which filled the evening air with its musical sounds. With Brent Rubeli on saxophone, Bruce Clements on keyboard and Paul Rivet on drums, the instrumental trio, dressed in yellow shirts, black clothing and even wearing yellow shoes, all to keep with the “bees” image, opened just after 9 p.m. with the tune

Members of “The Killer B’s” musical ensemble which performed at Jo-Anne Ilkiw’s evening garden tour in Stittsville on Saturday, June 25 are, from left, Brent Rubeli on saxophone, Paul Rivet on drums and Bruce Clements on keyboard.

“The Girl from Ipanema,” the Brazilian bossa nova jazz song that was a worldwide hit for Brazilian singer Astrid Gilberto and American saxophonist Stan Getz, winning the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1965. It has become one of the most recorded pop songs in history. “The Killer B’s,” performing near an appropriately-coloured yellow patio umbrella (that “bees image again), went on to fill the garden air with melodic background music throughout the rest of the evening. This addition of music just added to the magic of this evening tour of the Ilkiw garden which saw lights, either candles, globe lights or Christmas lights, everywhere throughout the spacious garden. There were even some lit candles floating in one of the ponds in the backyard. These ponds also had their underwater lights glowing, adding yet another light feature to this garden scenario. Christmas lights were particularly evident in the wooded area at the rear of the backyard, including on a garden archway. Lighted candles were everywhere – along a window sill box at the backyard’s garden shed, at spots along the miniature car race track, on the top of a rock wall in the garden, among the flowers and plants surrounding the ponds, among the pickets on the fence around the central organic vegetable garden and elsewhere. Wherever you looked, there was a light of some sort glowing. Indeed, the plan had been to place 600 or so candles and lights around the backyard garden for this evening tour. But the number just kept growing and growing, with over 1,000 lights eventually adding their illumination to the evening setting.

Happy Canada Day! Here’s where you can enjoy a BeaverTail... While our Tanger Outlet location will be closed for Canada Day only, festive BeaverTails® will be available to West Enders at Walter Baker Park. For those headed downtown for the celebration, we’ll be located on the Sparks Street Mall, in Majors Hill Park, behind the Museum of History in Hull and, of course, at our permanent William and George Street location in the ByWard Market.

Daytime, evening tours at Jo-Anne Ilkiw garden Among those at this evening pond garden tour at the Ilkiw garden was city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who in remarks to those present said that this garden was one of the many unique places in Stittsville, calling it an oasis. He noted that caring for this backyard oasis is a passion, not a hobby, for Jo-Anne Ilkiw. He praised Jo-Anne for opening up her “labour of love” to the public in this water garden tour. Theresa Qadri followed up her husband’s remarks by reciting a poem entitled ”Jo-Anne’s Garden Oasis” which included a line “Heavenly it is meant to be” which really captured the

garden’s atmosphere and image on this particular night. Theresa presented Jo-Anne with a copy of the poem. The evening also featured a raffle draw for a number of gift certificates provided by sponsors of the water garden tour. The garden had also been visited throughout the day by those on the self-guided 2016 Water Garden Tour of the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society. Among the visitors were Evelyn Palmer of Beacon Hill and Myra Woolley of Ottawa West, both of whom have pond gardens of their own. See GARDEN, page 37

40 Looks Really Good for Queensway Carleton Hospital The history of Queensway Carleton Hospital is intertwined with the history of Nepean – a township established in 1792. Along with the growth of the region, more people meant more accidents, disease and the need for established healthcare in the form of hospitals. Nepean residents who needed any type of medical attention headed “to town” to visit one of the hospitals, and even in the 1900s, were subjected to long waiting lists. All patients from Carleton County paid a non-resident fee to Ottawa for medical services rendered. It amounted to $1 per day for treatment. Rural doctors, barred from practicing in city hospitals, were moving into Ottawa where the medical profession offered brighter futures. More than one attempt was made to establish a hospital in the expanding Nepean Township. During the 1950s a group of prominent citizens, led by Dick Bell, sought support from Carleton County Council to construct a hospital. The request was denied by provincial government. In 1973, the planning group for the hospital started a petition to be signed by regional government officials. That step opened the door for a delegation, including Jean Pigott, MP for Ottawa-Carleton, Aubrey Moodie and Garry Cardiff, to meet face-to-face with Premier William Davis. At the end of the intense meeting, with Premier Davis’ words “…Jean, you never could take no for an answer…” the final go-ahead funding was granted.

Construction Site March 25, 1974

2016

In 1986, the addition of state-of-the-art diagnostic services ensured pr ured patients were provided the best available tools at QCH. 1989 marked a number of firsts as Dr. Adrien Bernard, a QCH Radiologist performed a new procedure which involved inserting a self-expanding stent into obstructed bile ducts, replacing the need for catheters and external draining tubes for the patient. It was a first in Canada. He would again in 1998, become the first Canadian Radiologist to perform a new radiology procedure that removes fibrous growths delaying or eliminating the need for a hysterectomy. Growth was finally recognized for QCH in 1997 with the province’s Health Services Restructuring Commission. QCH was mandated to change its program concentrations. With the closure of The Salvation Army Grace Hospital, QCH took on the low-risk maternal newborn program. In addition, CT Scan services were added to the list of the hospital’s growing diagnostic functions. By December 2002, the hospital received its first commitment from the province for much needed expansion to our facilities and the following are some of the many milestones QCH has enjoyed since: • June 2003 – Groundbreaking for new Emergency Department, ICU and inpatient beds. • September 2004 - QCH opened the new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service.

After that hospital construction started in 1974, the need for community-based psychiatric healthcare was evidenced by long waiting lists at The Royal Ottawa Hospital. Queensway Carleton Hospital made its debut in the community by opening its first program, a store-front psychiatric out-patient clinic in Bells Corners in March 1974.

• January 2005 – new Emergency Department, ICU and medicine units open.

By late 1975, a Board of Directors had been formed with Aubrey Moodie as President and Chairman. The framework for the new organization was established with Garry Cardiff as the first Chief Executive Officer.

• February 2008 - Thanks to a $9 million gift from Dan Greenberg, the cancer centre was named the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre.

Early staff, referred to as “the hardhatters”, worked out of trailers and in a semi-finished building in the middle of a field. Staff hires were conducted by ushering candidates along unlit corridors with flashlights, dodging lumber and wiring and guiding the candidates across board walkways over muddy terrain – while wearing their hard hats at all times.

• January 2010 – The Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre opens.

On March 8, 1976, construction was near completion and QCH was set to welcome its first inpatient, 88-year-old Stella Monaghan, a long-time Nepean resident. Mrs. Monaghan led the way for a group of 12 geriatric patients admitted to the hospital’s fourth floor that day. Queensway Carleton Hospital was officially opened by Premier William Davis on October 5, 1976. The hospital was opened as a 240-bed facility built on its cornerstone programs: Emergency Services (designed to handle 30,000 patient visits annually); Medical and Surgical Services (supported by clinical specialties as well as diagnostic and therapeutic services); Mental Health Services and Geriatric Services. As QCH prepared for its 10 year anniversary, emergency visits hovered around 59,000, patients waited in areas such as emergency observation and day surgery recovery for inpatient admission, chronic care patients in acute care beds, and long waiting lists for clinics continued to stretch staff and physician resources. The hospital now had just over 900 staff, 200 physicians and more than 400 volunteers. The focus was on maintaining high quality patient care under extreme patient volumes.

• March 2006 - the Ontario government announced plans for a satellite cancer centre. • November 2007 – Launch of Total Joint Assessment Clinic (TJAC).

• September 2012- James Beach Health Care Centre opens. The new 4 story tower include 10 new operating rooms, ambulatory care facilities, a rehabilitation centre, support services and a partnership with The Ottawa Hospital’s Nephrology Program to bring the dialysis service to west-end patients. The Shirley E. Greenberg Breast Imaging Suite also opens. • January 2014 – Premier Wynne announces approval for the Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit. • October 2016 – The Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit will open. The hospital was built thanks to the efforts of a community who believed the need for comprehensive, accessible healthcare was paramount to making the west end a success. Today, the 264-bed facility and its more than 1,900 employees, 300-plus physicians and 600-plus volunteers, have helped shape west Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley - and plan to carry on that tradition into the future. Queensway Carleton Hospital will continue to be a vital ppart of this communityy and the region for the next 40 years and beyond.

From Syria to Heads Up Barber Shop in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

In his native Syria, he was a barber. And now, in his new homeland of Canada, 22 year old Nour Khaoule is working in his trade. He is now cutting hair at the Heads Up Barber Shop in the Ultramar Plaza in Stittsville. Nour, who was a barber for seven years in Syria, is taking English language training in Kanata every morning and then works at the Heads Up Barber Shop every afternoon. Frank Olszynko, owner of the Heads Up Barber Shop and a long time barber himself, calls Nour a very

good barber as well as a “very pleasant young man.” He says that Nour’s English is improving daily. If necessary, Frank helps Nour communicate with customers, using what he calls “barber sign language,” indicating to Nour with hand signals how the customer wants his hair cut. He says that customers have been very warm and welcoming to Nour when they learn that he is a refugee from Syria. Frank says that Syrians are known

for their barbering expertise. Indeed, Frank had recently been talking to his wife Frima about this barbering excellence by Syrians, wondering if perhaps he should contact the Syrian community in his quest for a new barber at his shop. Upon further investigation, it turned out that a former barbering colleague knew of someone and it turned out to be Nour. Nour came to Canada from Damascus in February as a refugee, sponsored by his sister with whom he now lives. He spoke

only Arabic when he arrived but now is quickly learning English thanks to the English language training that he is taking. His brother back in Syria is also a barber with 15 years experience. His parents are still in Damascus as well. The Heads Up Barber Shop currently has a summer special in effect until the end of August that sees the cost of a haircut being only $11.50. The regular price of a haircut is usually $17.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I’ve worked as a bookkeeper for 9 years. I started as a part-time employee but for the last couple of years I’ve worked almost 40 hours a week. My employer is retiring and selling the business. I’ve heard through the grapevine that the buyer is a competing business and likely won’t require my services so I probably will lose my job, but my boss hasn’t told me anything. Is this legal? Generally, unless you’re unionized, your employment can be terminated at any time by your employer. If a business is sold and certain employees are not offered positions with the new company, they have effectively been laid off. Although an employer is allowed to end your employment you also likely have a right to compensation. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Garden called ‘spectacular’ Continued from page 35

Both also have participated in previous water garden tours. They found the Ilkiw garden to be “spectacular.” This garden in Stittsville was one of ten gardens on this year’s Water Garden Tour and it was not only the only one in Stittsville but also the only one which offered an evening tour experience as well as a daytime tour. Other gardens on this year’s tour were in Kanata, Nepean, Carp, Hintonburg, Gloucester and Orleans. Founded in 2006, the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society which hosts the annual tour is a non-profit organization dedicated to the enjoyment, education and promotion of the water gardening hobby in the National Capital Region. All profits from this annual Water Garden Tour go to the Society’s community project fund. This year is seeing the completion of the second phase of a Healing Garden at the Queensway Carleton Hospital thanks to funding from the Society. The next project to be supported by the Society is a courtyard garden at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata in 2017. Funds raised by this year’s tour will be directed to this project.

If an employee is not given any formal notice of termination they can often make a claim for compensation after they have been dismissed. In some situations, where an employee and an employer can’t agree on the amount of compensation to be provided the dispute has to be resolved in Court. However, the vast majority of these cases are settled out of Court, sometimes with the assistance of a lawyer. Finally, if you’ve been a full-time employee for the last year the compensation you receive should be based on your full-time salary or hours.

‘Who is Nobody’ Fair at Westwind Public School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

How does a nobody become a somebody? Three dolls – one for each grade six class – on display at the “Who is Nobody” Fair at Westwind Public School in Stittsville on Thursday, June 23, each one sitting on a chair beneath a giant sign “Who is Nobody?”, represented how this happens, how a somebody is created from a nobody. At the beginning of the “Who is Nobody” project, each doll had no age, no character, no gender, no identify, no friends. During the course of the project, these dolls went from being a nobody doll to being a somebody doll, simply by having someone care about them. Students in all three grade six classes at the school were involved with “Who is Nobody” projects, working either alone or in pairs. Each project had to provide one item symbolic of the individual project for placement on the doll. So, the doll got covered with these items, transforming the doll from a nobody to a somebody with lots to identify who he or she is. In this “Who is Nobody” project, the students involved must make several decisions in determining their project. First, what kind of living thing is to be helped by the project. It must be related to people, animals or the environment. This is very much a personal choice left up to each student or student team to decide. Then a decision is made on choosing an organization that helps the chosen living thing. It could be an organization that helps people or one that helps animals or one that helps the environment.

Once the organization to be helped is selected, then the student or student team has to decide how the organization is to be helped. There could be fundraising done on its behalf. Or a student or students could volunteer with the organization. Or materials could be collected to donate to the organization. Or the help to the organization could be a combination of all three of these ways to help. The student or student team then creates a plan regarding this help and then follows through on the plan. And finally, as the culmination to this “Who is Nobody” project, each student or student team creates a poster board outlining everything to do with the individual project undertaken. This poster board is then on display at the windup “Who is Nobody Fair” at the school, with students there to explain to fellow students and visiting parents just what the particular project has been all about. Students at Westwind Public School from grade three up to grade five visited the “Who is Nobody Fair” in the school gym on Thursday, June 23 to hear about the “Who is Nobody” project and to see

the various display boards about the projects undertaken. This is meant to help prepare them for when they are involved in their own grade six year. “We want to inspire a world to be a better place,” Westwind Public School grade six teacher Laura Bond said when explaining the reason for the “Who is Nobody” project to students assembled at the Fair. And just what are some of the organizations selected by the students this year as the focus of their individual or team project? They include the Canadian Red Cross, Freedom Dog Rescue, Restoring Hope Ministries, Big Sky Ranch, Stittsville Food Bank, Ottawa Dog Rescue, Canadian Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House, the Salvation Army, the Richmond Food Bank, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Humane Society and more. Student Charlotte May decided to help people in Cambodia who suffer from iron deficiency by helping the social enterprise organization Lucky Iron Fish.

Iron deficiency afflicts approximately 3.5 billion people around the world including those in Cambodia. It is a preventable nutritional deficiency which can lead to anemia. With an iron deficiency, a person is constantly tired, struggling to focus and often feels sick. One Lucky Iron Fish, which is in the shape of a fish, can provide an entire family with up to 90 percent of its daily iron intake for up to five years. All that has to be done is to cook with this reusable ‘fish,’ boiling it in any liquid or broth based meals. It is a simple and affordable solution to eliminating iron deficiency. The Lucky Iron Fish organization involves a team of scientists, physicians and nutritionists from across the world who are tackling iron deficiency thanks to this fish-shaped object that is used in cooking meals. Indeed, MacLean’s Magazine has identified Lucky Iron Fish as one of five innovations that will change the world. Charlotte raised funds for Lucky Iron Fish by hosting a lemonade stand during the recent Richmond village-wide garage sale event. See SUPPORTING, page 41

Supporting Ottawa Dog Rescue Continued from page 39

She also provided iced tea at King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond and collected donations from family members. All in all, Charlotte raised $258.85 for Lucky Iron Fish, enough to provide more than 30 of these fish-shaped iron objects to include in cooking. Student Sasha Yakovlev chose to help out the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy which is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting people with cerebral palsy in Ontario. It provides a wide range of services, resources and programs for those with cerebral palsy and their families and also supports research related to cerebral palsy. Most of the Federation’s programs and services are funded almost entirely through collection and re-sale of used clothing and other used goods. Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of conditions arising from a lack of muscle control due to injury to the developing brain. Symptoms of cerebral palsy vary depending on which area of the brain has been injured. These symptoms may include muscle

tightness or spasm, involuntary movement, difficult with gross motor skills such as walking or running, difficulty with fine motor skills such as writing or speaking and problems with perception and sensation. Some with cerebral palsy show no obvious effects while others may be non-verbal. Those with cerebral palsy have a normal life expectancy and their condition will not get worse, although it may change. It is estimated that one out of every 400 babies is affected with cerebral palsy. Over 50,000 Canadians are living with cerebral palsy. For her project, Sasha decided to collect used clothing to turn in to Value Village to help the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy. She ended up collecting six bags of used clothing, something which will not only help the Federation but also will help the environment by re-using the clothing rather than throwing it out. Student Lauren Campanelli and a classmate, for their project, held a bottle drive to raise money for Make-A-Wish Foundation which grants wishes to youth facing life-threatening health situations.

Their goal was to raise $50 but they ended up raising $170 for Make-A-Wish Foundation. For students Ella Cameron and Julia Garnett, they set out to help the Ottawa Dog Rescue which finds homes for abandoned and/or abused dogs. They held a raffle, a bottle drive and sold specially-designed cookies at the Sweet Room in Stittsville, all of which generated $776 in total for donation to Ottawa Dog Rescue.

Julia knows first-hand about the work of the Ottawa Dog Rescue as her family adopted a little white rescued dog from the organization just last Easter. Students Liam Horner and Joshua Frenken, with their project, collected used hockey equipment for donation to youngsters who could not afford such equipment. The equipment which was collected was donated to Canadian Tire Corporation’s Jumpstart program and the Sens Foundation. Liam and Joshua ended up collecting 183 different items of hockey equipment including 21 JOHN CURRY/METROLAND pairs of skates. They also collected Canadian Westwind Public School student Sasha Yakovlev is with her display about Tire money to donate to the her “Who Is Nobody” project for the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy which she did, collecting used clothing for the organization.

In addition, there is a fourth The Richmond Agricultural raised bed there which is being Society is now in the growing looked after by the Richmond 4H Club. All of these raised beds are four feet by eight feet in size. Also as part of the grant, which covered costs related to the wood to make the raised beds and the soil to place in the beds, the Agricultural Society has also provided two similar raised beds at both the Goodwood Apartments and at the Richmond Lodge Retirement Community. These beds will be looked after by residents at these locations. All of the produce grown in the three garden beds being looked after by the Agricultural Society will be donated to the Richmond Food Bank. In addition, the Agricultural Society wants it to be known that any seniors in the village are most welcome to visit the beds at any time and pick a fresh vegetable or two for their personal use.

business. Thanks to a $3,300 grant from the Just Foods Community Gardens program in Ottawa, the Agricultural Society now has three

raised garden beds in which it is now growing a variety of vegetables and herbs. The beds are located in a grassed area on the west side of the Dining Hall be-

ing to bend over too far or get down on their knees to do so. The raised beds also have moulding around the top of their wood walls so that they are attractive and look good. For these four beds beside the Dining Hall, the ground was dug out and gravel was laid before the raised beds were built and installed. This was done to allow for good drainage for the raised beds. The grant from Just Foods Community Gardens did not cover the purchase of plants for the garden beds. However, both Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer and Ritchie Feed & Seed in Richmond have generously stepped forward in providing plants for the garden beds. Plants in these Agricultural Society beds so far include radishes, beans, cherry and regular tomatoes, peppers, Romaine lettuce, Spanish onions, parsley and a variety of herbs. Richmond Agricultural Society president Ian Stackhouse says that there will be a learning curve this year to determine just what vegetables and herbs are most useful for the Food Bank.

It is expected that these garden beds will produce quite a harvest of fresh vegetables and herbs. Watering of the beds beside the Dining Hall is being done by the Richmond Agricultural Society. A central sprinkler is going to be set up so that the beds can be watered regularly. These garden beds beside the Dining Hall are also being viewed as an educational display so that people can see a sustainable community garden in action. Education about growing and agriculture are part of the Agricultural Society’s mandate as evidenced by his Agricultural Awareness program each year at the Richmond Fair. These Agricultural Society garden beds will not see any pesticides or spraying. Weeding will be done by hand. It is expected that the soil will need enhancement as the project proceeds. More organic material and other beneficial material for the soil will be added to improve the soil’s growing capability as time goes on. The Agricultural Society has received

great support from the community in developing these garden beds, not only beside the Dining Hall but also at the Goodwood Apartments and at the Richmond Lodge Retirement Community. The Agricultural Society has erected a giant banner on the fence along the Perth Street frontage of the fairgrounds listing the community sponsors who have helped with this project. Take a look at the banner the next time that you pass by. The Richmond Agricultural Society was alerted about the Just Foods Community Gardens program in Ottawa by Rev. Michel Dubord of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond. He took the idea to the Agricultural Society which then acted on it, submitting an application for a grant to get these community garden beds installed and producing. The Agricultural Society has formed a committee including, among others, president Ian Stackhouse, Homecraft president Laura Robertson and Agricultural Society members Carol Demjan, John Gil, Susan Hughes and Bob Armstrong to oversee this community garden bed project.

e are happy residents in the exclusive Tweedsmuir on the Park adult community in Kanata Lakes. But then when this condo popped up we couldn’t resist. It’s just as nice but doesn’t have stairs! We are thrilled to have bought a condo where we still have space to continue our family traditions—we will just have more time for them now. Our unit is big enough for the grandkids to sleep over! If we bought a comparable condo downtown, it would have cost us $50-60K more. Beaverbrook has everything. I walk to the senior’s center for my Zumba class, and I can walk to the library with my grandchildren. Life is sweet when it’s simple.

Travel the Rideau for an historic boat experience Looking for a memorable and unique vacation adventure? Look no further than The Rideau Canal. The Rideau Canal is a scenic, historic waterway that winds its way through eastern Ontario to connect the city of Kingston on Lake Ontario with Ottawa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the canal was originally built by the British after the War of 1812 to provide a secure link between Montreal and Kingston. Colonel By of the Royal Engineers was in charge of the project and the town settled at the north end of the system was originally known as Bytown, now called Ottawa. With 47 locks in 25 separate lock stations, the 202 kilometer route is mostly natural river and lakes, with only about 19 kilometers manmade. Today it is a haven for water enthusiasts and boaters of all kinds. To see the Rideau Canal, you can either you can travel by boat in the canal itself, or you can drive alongside. Some people like to cycle this route.

SEEING THE RIDEAU FROM THE WATER If you have a boat capable of making the journey, you can go on an inland adventure, or go for a guided tour from any of the many operators along the route. The Canal LV JHQHUDOO\ RSHQ WR ERDW WUDIĆ&#x201C; F IURP May 20 to October 12. It can be covered in as little as three days by boat, but a more leisurely pace will allow you time to enjoy the many sights and interesting communities along the shoreline. Though some people do the entire Rideau, others travel just a section. With over 1,100 km of shoreline, there is plenty to capture your attention. For a successful boating excursion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always best to plan your route. There are lots of online resources to help you determine what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to bring and what you can get along the way. Start by determining how far you want to go. Make sure you build LQ WLPH WR VZLP Ć&#x201C; VK YLVLW VKRS DQG GLQH <RX ZLOO QHHG WR Ć&#x201C; QG D launching and exit locations to suit your journey, unless it will be round trip. There are guide books such as the

Rideau Boating and Road Guide and the Ports Guide to help with route planning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always wise to have nautical charts too, available for online ordering from Ontario Travel Guides. Get your charts at the start of your planning so you can become familiar with them before setting out. Remember to take your time and enjoy the ride. An average trip of Ć&#x201C; YH GD\V WR D ZHHN ZLOO JLYH \RX plenty of time to sightsee and relax. Travelling through a lock can take about 30 minutes if there is no lineup.

HOW TO GET THERE By water, enter the Rideau at Kingston Mills lock station (from the St. Lawrence/Lake Ontario) or enter at Ottawa from the Ottawa River. If trailering, there are a multitude of access points along the Rideau as well as marinas with ramp access.

SERVICES ALONG THE RIDEAU It is easy to provision from the many grocery stores along the route in waterway towns such as Seeleys Bay, Newboro, Westport, Portland, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Manotick. In addition to the grocery outlets and fuel depots, most marinas and a few of the lock stations supply ice. Fuel and pump outs are available from many marinas along the Rideau. Some offer gas and diesel. For those without an on-board head, all lock stations have public washrooms as do most of the marinas. Dockage between the marinas and the lock stations is available and can be pre-arranged. Camping is available at local campgrounds, including two Provincial Parks, or at most lock stations. Traveling The Rideau by water is memorable holiday adventure, no matter what kind of boat you use. The lovely scenery will enchant you while you explore the rich history of the waterway. Take time to photograph the abundant waterfowl and wildlife, stop for a refreshing swim, or enjoy a picnic at a lock station or mooring. To break up the journey, welcoming small towns such as Newboro, Portland, Westport or Merrickville are great for a shopping excursion

on shore. No matter how you do, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

forget time spent on The Rideau Canal.

MARY COOK Memories My brother Emerson said I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to the farm animals. Except for the cows, which I wasn’t too fond of, I wanted all the others for pets. Emerson said if I had any brains, I would know that you didn’t raise livestock for pets. Eventually, they would go off to market, or end up in the smoke house! But I tended to put those thoughts out of my mind. Even after my pet black lamb ended up on the supper table one night, sending me into hysterics and turning me against lamb for the rest of my life, I still thought I could make pets out of the farm animals. Even though I wasn’t too fond of the cows, I loved the calves. It was no chore

Harry with the Heaves held a special place in Mary’s heart

for me to feed a sickly calf from a bottle, until it was able to feed itself. Holding a screeching baby pig, with its soft body feeling like that of a real live baby, filled me with the utmost joy. And then there was poor old Harry with the Heaves. He was never called just plain Harry. It was Harry with the Heaves. Harry was a horse that had been around the farm long before I was born, and I loved him with a passion. Apart from the heaves, he had a sway where you could rest a couple bags of grain if you were so moved, and that was why he had the heaves, Father said. Harry with the Heaves was no longer able to do any farm work, and my sister Audrey said the only reason he was still kept

around, was because Father knew how much I loved the poor old horse. He didn’t eat much, which maybe helped too. Harry with the Heaves didn’t move around like the other horses, preferring to stand at the fence behind the barn, resting his head on the rails. Every day I would put a halter on him, and walk him very slowly around the barnyard. We wouldn’t be gone a dozen steps, when the heaves would start. They seemed to come right from his hooves. And I would stop and let him heave away until the spasm passed, and then we would walk around another few steps, with his head getting lower and lower to the ground. The few times we hitched him to the

buggy, it was like we were giving him a new lease on life. There were strict orders from Father not to run Harry with the Heaves...just let him move at his own pace, which wasn’t very fast. But I could tell he loved pulling the buggy. And we would circle the barnyard a couple times, until he could no longer breathe easily. But it was enough to make the old horse feel he was needed, even if we really weren’t going anywhere. Other sickly animals would just disappear, and I knew perfectly well what their fate was. But Harry with the Heaves lived on, contributing nothing to the work load of the other horses, just living day by day with his condition getting worse right before my eyes. And then one day, when I came home from school, I couldn’t see Harry with the Heaves anywhere. I thought he may have wandered into the field behind the barn, but no, he wasn’t there. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, just like my brother Emerson said, but no one had to tell me that Harry with the Heaves wouldn’t be

around any more. Nothing was said about his missing. Not a word from Father, the brothers...no one said a word. He was just gone. And I knew, without anyone telling me, that my beloved horse was no more. Not a word was spoken about his end. It was as if Harry with the Heaves had never existed. A deep sadness came over me. My horse was gone. Like so many disappointments, and sad happenings on the farm, there was no discussion…no explanation. It was thought the less said the better. I cried for Harry with the Heaves only when I was alone. And I prayed wherever he had gone, he would be hale and hearty, running around with other horses, eating the finest hay and oats, his back in shape, and the heaves a thing of the past. To ease the pain in my heart, I had to believe it. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

An estimated $40,000 in damage was caused when fire broke out in a motor home parked in Munster. Multiple 9-1-1 calls were received just before 5 a.m. on Monday, June 27 regarding a motor home on fire parked in front of a home at 7 Whisperwood Street in Munster. Ottawa Fire Services firefighters responded to the call. The motor home was about 50 feet from the house so there was no direct damage cause to the house because of the fire. The motor home, however, had a trailer attached to it with a few gokarts in it. A van near the motor home was also damaged by the fire. There were no injures caused as a result of the fire. An investigator was called to the scene to look into this fire.

Canon Michael McKinley marked the 50th anniversary of his ordination in the Anglican Church last Sunday, June 26 at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Canon Michael, who is an honourary assistant to Rev. Jane McCaig and the people of St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville, celebrated this very special day with the community of St. Thomas, his family and his friends at the 9 a.m. Sunday morning service and with coffee, cake and reminiscences after the service. To further mark this day, at Canon Michael’s request, the parish collected food and monetary donations for the Centretown Emergency Food Centre which has many refugees among its clientele. The welfare of recent refugees is an issue that deeply concerns Michael. Canon Michael, who was born in Belfast in Northern Ireland, received his degrees from Trinity College in Dublin. He was subsequently ordained to the Diaconate on June 26, 1966 in the Diocese of Connor, Northern Ireland, followed by ordination to the Priesthood a year later. After curacies in Belfast, Montreal and St. Catharines, Michael served as Rector in the churches of St. Brendan’s in Port Colborne and St. Peter’s in Hamilton and then for 25 years at St. Thomas in St. Catharines until his retirement. Michael and his wife Olive have three children, Peter, Catherine and Janet, and six grandchildren and now reside in Kanata. See CELEBRATION, page 65

Celebration at St. Thomas Continued from page 64

theatrical retirement! Canon Michael was prominent in the liturgical renewal movement among churches in the 1980’s and 1990’s to make worship spaces more “user friendly” following the guidance of leaders such as the former Anglican Primate Michael Peers. Canon Michael and the people of St. Thomas in St. Catharines, after many challenges, revamped the worship space to reflect the need of the community to worship and to conduct activities in a flexible manner. To quote from an article from the Jan. 2005 Anglican Journal: “It was not an easy task convincing a congregation to change. ‘It was a big hurdle even just to remove the pews,’ recalls Mr. McKinley. ‘I found that some people were attached to the trappings of Christianity, not the heart of Christianity. It was about the JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND seven last words, ‘We never did it that way before’…. After much prayer, persistence and education, the Joe Chennette, left, congratulates Canon Michael McKinley, right, on the 50th anniversary of his ordination in the Anglican Church at a celebration at St. Thomas Anglican Church in call for change prevailed…” This left a lasting legacy and an example for oth- Stittsville last Sunday, June 26. ers to follow. Although retired, Canon Michael has been able to offer through his ministry to the community of St. Thomas a challenge to keep the faith and the church moving forward into the future. An energetic and erudite speaker, Michael’s exploration of theology encourages each listener, whether in agreement or not on the finer points, to explore more fully his or her own faith journey. The people of St. Thomas continue to be grateful for the presence of Michael and Olive among them and the gifts that each one brings to St. Thomas and to the wider community. • Price includes supply of hardwood and (plus tax)

They fully enjoy the time that they now have to travel. Canon Michael’s warm Irish accent has not diminished over time and one is certain that it added a great deal to his theatrical performances for which he was noted in his previous parish. Probably few have forgotten his performances as “Dr. George Bradman” in the production of “Blithe Spirit” or as the “Bishop of Lax” in the play “Pools Paradise.” Perhaps Michael could be persuaded to come out of his

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there is much you want others to know about you this week, but you’re not ready to share all of the details just yet. Continue to bide your time, sharing only when it feels right. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 There’s not much you can do to change a current situation, Taurus. Step away for a bit and let the pieces fall where they may. Then you can develop a strategy. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You have a new goal this week, Gemini, but others are not as receptive to your ideas as you hoped they would be. You may need to fine tune things. Be persistent. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, resolve to make the most of this week even if it seems difficult to do so. Seek support from friends or family members willing to lend an ear or a helping hand. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few moments to recharge this week. You have been going at a breakneck pace for too long, and now it’s time to slow things down. Use some vacation time if you can. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others are routinely drawn to your unique personality. Make the most of others’ warm reception and do your best to return the favor whenever you can.

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!
