Motorcycle power supports QuickStart

John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Motorcycles are powerful machines – in more ways than one. Sure, they can roar off, carrying a rider on a thrilling open-air experience like no other. But they have also become an awesome vehicle for fundraising and their power in this regard was in evidence in the side parking lot at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville last Saturday, July 16. The parking lot was

filled with motorcycles, all there as their riders were participating in the fourth annual Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa in support of QuickStart which offers an early intervention program called KickStart for the youngest of children with autism. “Wow, what a turnout,” QuickStart founder and president Suzanne Jacobson exclaimed as she took the microphone at the 9 a.m. kick-off ceremony for this year’s Ride, looking out over the sea of motorcycles lined up in the parking lot in the sun-

shine with blue skies overhead. Herself a grandparent with two grandsons on the autism spectrum, she explained in her remarks that QuickStart’s KickStart program is a free program offered for children two and a half years old and younger that runs for four to five months, providing parents with the training to be able to interact and communicate with their young autistic child. There is no waiting time with the only limitation being for QuickStart to have the funds available, namely $4,000 per child. When Suzanne announced that QuickStart had funded 33 children in the program last year, a roar of approval went up from the assembled bikers. And the atmosphere only got more enthusiastic and passionate when ten year old Charlotte Gough addressed the bikers. Last April she spoke at the World Autism Awareness Day on Parliament Hill and last Saturday she brought her advocacy for those with autism to this Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa event. She reminded those present that it is important to give those with autism an opportunity to show how wonderful

and gifted they area. She also noted that family is important for those with autism, as unconditional love at home makes a big difference. Charlotte herself was diagnosed with autism at age three and since the age of eight has been an active advocate for those with autism. Among those hearing Charlotte speak was biker Marc Lamoureux. He has been a participant in all of the Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa events so far. He began four years ago because he thought that it was a worthy cause. Since then, he had had a grandson impacted with autism and so the Ride has taken on an even greater significance for him. Another to whom this Ride is important is Guy Hubbard who served as a volunteer helping guide the bikers on their way, complete with a “Slow” and “Stop” sign to control their exit from the parking lot. Guy is a brother-in-law of Dave Kuhnle who founded this Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa in support of QuickStart in 2013 when his two granddaughters were diagnosed at an early age with autism.

Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa starts, finishes at Brown’s YIG Continued from page 1

Both of his granddaughters went through QuickStart’s early intervention KickStart program. Dave had participated in the Ride for Dad, a fundraiser for prostate cancer. He discovered that there was no fundraising motorcycle ride in support of autism so he decided to start one to raise funds to help provide early intervention services for children with autism. Thus began the Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa. Guy, his brother-in-law, has been helping with the Ride since the beginning. This Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa raised over $40,000 in its first three years and the funds raised by this year’s ride should put recent fundraising efforts for QuickStart over the $100,000 mark. Indeed, it has been an amazing fundraising period for QuickStart, with $88,727 raised in six fundraising events over the 33 days leading up to last Saturday’s Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa. What great support there has been throughout the Ottawa community! City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, wearing a black “Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa” t-shirt, was at the send-off for this year’s Ride, thanking Todd Brown of Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and the various sponsors for their support of this

Ride fundraiser. He noted that those touched by autism know what a challenge they face in life, noting that these children simply want to be able to live normal lives like other kids. Following the mayor’s remarks, Ride founder and organizer Dave Kuhnle uttered those familiar and famous words “Start your engines” and the parking lot came alive with the roar of motorcycle engines. At 9:10 p.m., the first of the motorcycles roared out of the parking lot, passing behind Brown’s YIG and then onto Stittsville Main Street, headed to Richmond and beyond to the Westport area before returning to the parking lot at Brown’s YIG for a BBQ. There was a steady stream of motorcycles leaving the parking lot until they were all gone on their way, ready to enjoy a summertime motorcycle ride while raising funds for QuickStart. This was the first year that this annual Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa used the parking lot at Brown’s YIG in Stittsville as its starting and finishing location. Last year the Ride started and ended at the Kunstadt Sports plaza on Hazeldean Road in Kanata. It was somewhat fitting that this Ride was headquartered at Brown’s YIG this year because it was at Brown’s YIG that QuickStart founder Suzanne Jacobson did her first fundraising eight years ago, selling cookbooks

which were prepared with the help of Stittsville’s Pocopazzo Restaurant. QuickStart is an organization that facilitates more access to early intervention services for children with autism, allowing children with autism to hopefully have an equal opportunity to develop to their full potential. By participating in this Motorcycle Ride For Autism Ottawa, bike riders help young children with autism receive early intervention treatment which QuickStart provides through its free KickStart program which is focussed on early treatment for autism. Suzanne Jacobson founded QuickStart in 2008 to facilitate more access to early intervention services for children with autism after her grandson had experienced difficulty accessing such services. QuickStart provides funding to agencies like Emerging Minds and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre which provide early intervention programs at no cost to affected families. These programs fill the “gap” caused by wait lists for government services. These QuickStart JOHN CURRY/METROLAND services are provided during a time when parents otherwise would just Marc Lamoureux stands with his Yamaha motorcycle before taking part in the fourth annual Motorcycle be waiting to access such services.

QuickStart funds early intervention programs for autism Continued from page 2

For Suzanne, it all started when her grandson Alexander was placed on the waiting list for an assessment for autism when he was 20 months old. He was on the wait list for ten months before being diagnosed with autism. Once diagnosed, he then waited two years for the government funded intensive therapy program. Much critical time was lost as it has

been shown that the sooner that intervention begins, the better it is. Yet wait times are increasing due to the number of children being diagnosed with autism. Five years ago one in 150 children was diagnosed with autism. Now it is one in 50 children. The cost of providing early intervention therapies averages $60,000 a year, so not

many families can afford such private therapy. This is where QuickStart comes in as it provides funding to agencies that deliver early intervention programs so that these programs can be provided at no cost to a family. Typically QuickStart funds three children per month for the KickStart program. This past October, though, seven children were funded thanks to the funding being available.

Motorcycles leave from the parking lot at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville as other motorcycle riders wait their turn in the parking lot at the start of the fourth annual Motorcycle Ride for Autism Ottawa in Stittsville last Saturday morning.

Two swimmers with the Goulbourn Sea Hawks competitive swim team will be swimming in the national championships in Calgary this month and you can help them get there. To help with the travel costs associated with attending the national championships, the pair’s Goulbourn Sea Hawks teammates will be going door-to-door in the community this Thursday evening, July 21 in a fundraising bottle drive. Empty beer, wine and spirit bottles will be collected along with cash donations. Anyone who has a large number of empties to contribute should email barb.moffitt@gmail.com to arrange for a personal pickup. The two Goulbourn Sea Hawks swimmers who will be travelling to Calgary in late July to compete in the national championships are 17 year old Nic Ferland and 13 year old Abby Moffitt. Earning the right to swim in the national championships is the highest possible achievement for such young swimmers, other than making the Olympic Trials. Abby Moffitt has had a sensational season in competitive meets. Last April at a meet at Carleton University, Abby set a club record in the 13-14 year old girls 1500 metre freestyle event, breaking the former record by nearly one minute while also at the same time beating the national time standard by

nearly 40 seconds. This result made her eligible to participate in the upcoming national championships in Calgary. At this same meet at Carleton University, Nic Ferland set a club record in the 17 year old and over 100 metre breast event. He won the high point trophy for his age category in the meet. At the Ontario Provincial Championships in Etobicoke, Abby Moffitt won two bronze medals and also placed fourth in the 1500 free event. At the Long Course Swim Meet at the Nepean Sportsplex in April, Abby Moffitt set a new club record in meeting the national time standard in the age 13 and 14 year old 800 free event. The goal of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swim club is to provide every member with the opportunity to improve his or her skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability from novice to international competitor. The Goulbourn Sea Hawks swim club offers programs for those aged 8 to 19 years of age. The club swims at the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville as well as at the Richcraft pool in Kanata. Members of the volunteer Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swim club are Andrea Gregoire, president; Dawn Yoshida, vice-president; David Clarke, treasurer; Curtis Small, secretary; and Bob Garnett, member at large. The coaching staff is led by head coach Val Hayward. The competitive team of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swim club is a member of Swim Canada.

Re-arranged furniture and shelving, new carpeting and a more open concept approach give a new look to the interior of the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Wow! New look at Stittsville library John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

of this former circulation desk itself have done much to add to a feeling of space in the branch. The circulation and public use computers are in the same spot as previously in the centre of the branch. The new circulation desk, much smaller in size than the former circulation desk, sits directly ahead when a patron walks into the branch. This circulation desk can be so much smaller because all of the book processing, formerly done at the circulation desk, is now done in the office area at the branch. In addition, the focus now is for library staff and volunteers to spent time out among the patrons in the branch, available for help

and advice, rather than be confined behind a circulation desk. The two check out computer stations have remained as before while there is a new interior book drop off right beside them, all to the left of the entrance door. The exterior book drop off has been relocated as it is now to the left of the main entrance rather than to the right as before. The whole branch except for the meeting room boasts new carpeting, giving it a fresh look and appearance. The “A Good Read” used book store is now on shelving to the left and behind the new circulation desk.

The Art Space Gallery, previously on the south part of the rear wall, has been relocated. It is now on the library branch’s south wall (far right hand wall when entering the branch). This is right adjacent to the giant window in the branch’s south wall. There is some library furniture still to arrive at the branch. In addition, some of the branch’s books which were stored away off site during the renovations and improvements still have to be returned to the branch. But things are up and running and it’s certainly worth a visit to see this “new look” library branch on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Be prepared for a “Wow Moment” when you visit the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library now following its recent renovations and changes. First off, it looks larger, way larger! And yet, the recent month-long closure for renovations and improvements did not change the size of the building in any way. So why does it look so much more spacious and, well, just plain bigger? It’s because it’s much more wide open and the shelving has been realigned to emphasize the building’s length. There is a spacious wide-open area right inside the entrance doors. There’s a re-positioned and much smaller circulation desk. And the shelving now runs north/south in the far portion of the branch, parallel to the long width of the building, accentuating the length of the premises. Indeed, you might even wonder if that vaulted central ceiling was there before or was it part of the changes made. Well, to set things straight, this vaulted ceiling was not touched. It’s the same ceiling as before but now you just notice it a lot more with the new configuration of the shelving and the open space concept now prevalent in the branch.

Pair delivers evening of covers and originals John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Hit covers mixed with originals at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday, July 15. It was a combined effort by the duo of Alan Sandeman and Gretchen Martin, with Alan singing a host of his original relationship story songs while alternating the lead vocal role with Gretchen who sang an array of cover songs. And when one sang, the other provided musical accompaniment with Alan on the guitar and Gretchen on the keyboard. Alan Sandeman, who has just released a CD entitled “Proclivity,” offered his originals to this musical evening, singing songs with such titles as “The Hard Stuff,” “I Like It Some” (which he called his first and perhaps only reggae song), “Bad Habits,” “This Town,” “Neighbourly Love,” “A Matter of Choices,”

“Your Life and Your Love” and “Live and Learn” (a peppy love ballad). And, oh yes, there was also the toe tapping humourous song about a man who was up before a judge with the tell tale lyric “Honestly, your honour, she never said she was your daughter.” Oops! Of course, Gretchen backed up all of these songs with her skilful keyboarding, adding an instrumental ingredient that made each of these original Sandeman songs even more of a musical treat. And as for Gretchen herself, she stuck to covering hit after hit when she was the lead vocalist in the duo. So you heard “Under the Boardwalk,” a 1964 pop hit by the American doo-wop and rhythm and blues/soul vocal group The Drifters, followed by “Always on my Mind,” a country music song recorded by Brenda Lee in 1972, Elvis Presley also in 1972 and Willie Nelson with a Grammy Award winning version in 1982. Over the years it has been covered by numerous singers. Gretchen’s musical offerings also included “Oh Darling,” a Beatles song from the group’s 1969 Abbey Road album; “Right Down The Line,” a song by Scottish singer Gerry Rafferty that was covered in 2012 by American blues singer Bonnie Raitt in her Slipstream album; “Crossroads,” a blue song written by Robert Johnson in 1936 which was a hit for Eric Clapton in the late 1960’s; “Desperado,” a ballad by the American rock band Eagles from the group’s 1973 album of the same name and one of the group’s best known songs; “Tequila Sunrise,” another Eagles hit from 1973 which was also covered by country music singer Alan Jackson in his 1993 tribute album to the Eagles; See AT GAIA JAVA, page 7

“Drift Away,” a 1973 hit for American singer/songwriter Dobie Gray which became his signature song; and “All Those Lies,” a 1983 song by Glenn Frey of the Eagles. The pairing of Alan Sandeman and Gretchen Martin made the evening a musical memory not only because of the songs sung (originals versus cover hits) but also because Alan’s deeper voice provided a listening contrast to Gretchen’s higher pitched voice. You had the best of both musical worlds. And they not only enjoyed each other company as evidenced by their sometimes banter between songs but also they seemed to be having fun performing. Both seemed to be happy performers and it rubbed off on the crowd. They have been making music together for over a decade since first meeting at a jiu jitsu studio. They were both jiu jitsu enthusiasts and when Gretchen suggested that she wanted to get back into music after being away for a while for family matters, she was directed to talk with Alan who happened to be in a shower at the time. But they did talk (not in the shower) and the rest is history, as they have been performing at times together on and off since then, including previously at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville. The Gaia Java coffee shop hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is free admission but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, July 22, jazz guitar music will be front and centre at the Gaia Java shop with jazz guitarist Rob Wannell performing.

the 56’ers! However, it was not a wasted evening for the 56’ers as the Stittsville squad won the first game of this doubleheader against the Ottawa Valley A’s with a 7-0 victory. Indeed, the game was halted after five innings as the league’s mercy rule was invoked. The mercy rule had been invoked in a different way involving the 56’ers on the night before, Wednesday, July 13, when the 56’ers lost 8-0 to the 14C Victory team in a game at Alexander Grove in Stittsville. In this case, the 56’ers were on the losing side of the lopsided score which brought about the application of the mercy rule. The next home game for the Stittsville 56’ers will be on Wednesday,

The Stittsville 56’ers were beating the Ottawa Valley A’s but could not beat the weatherman in a Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) game in Carp on Thursday evening, July 14. Playing in the second game of a doubleheader against the Ottawa Valley A’s, the 56’ers were leading 3-1 after three and a half innings when the weatherman intervened as thunder and lightning forced the stoppage of play on the diamond. Four innings of play are needed for a GOFL game to be considered complete, so this game will have to be replayed from the start. So much for the 3-1 lead by

July 27 when the Kars Aces will visit Stittsville to play the 56’ers at the Alexander Grove diamond, starting at 8:30 p.m. The Stittsville 56’ers are one of seven teams in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League this season. Other teams are West Carleton Electric, Quyon Flyers, 14C Victory, Kars Aces, Micksburg Twins and Ottawa Valley A’s. Each team is playing nine home games and nine “away” games in the regular season. The regular season, which runs until the end of July, will be followed by playoffs involving three best-offive series with the first place team in the regular season getting a bye. This first place team plus the winners of the three playoff series will then compete in a second double knockout playoff round, finishing with a championship final game on the weekend of Sept. 10/12.

the Trans Canada Trail about halfway between the lookout and the pipeline. The bears headed north. Most encounters with bears rarely lead to attacks. That’s because most bears prefer to avoid contact with humans. Bears have a strong sense of personal space from which they won’t back down. The space might be anywhere from ten to fifty feet wide. If you end up within this personal space, the bear may begin huffing, swatting and false charging. If you encounter a bear, stop what you are doing. Remain still and calm. Speak in a calm, appeasing tone and back away slowly, preferably in the direction in which you came. Walk, don’t run and keep your eye on the bear at all times. In most cases, the bear flees.

There’s deer. And there’s wild turkeys. And now there’s bears. Yes, that’s right - bears. Stittsville resident Sylvie Sabourin had seen three bears in the Stittsville area in the last three weeks. On June 26 at 7:15 p.m., she saw a young bear on the Trans Canada Trail about halfway to the lookout. The bear was headed south across the trail. On July 17 around 10:45 a.m., she came across a young bear on Fernbank Road between the shooting range and Jinkinson Road. The bear was standing in the middle of the road before heading south. And again, also on July 17, this time at 8:20 p.m., she saw a mother bear and two cubs on

Cuts show how bloated city management is

new city manager is in charge over at city hall, and now there is a major restructuring going on. The first major move of that restructuring was rubber stamped last week when council voted unanimously to axe the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two deputy city clerks and deputy city manager positions after a briefing by city manager Steve Kanellakos. While Kanellakos says more is to come to find efficiencies in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations, for now what the restructuring means is that a dozen management positions are being shed in order to streamline operations. The plan, as outlined by Kanellakos, will cut â&#x20AC;&#x153;senior leaderâ&#x20AC;? positions down to nine, from 21. That the city administration now believes it can hack away at â&#x20AC;&#x153;senior leaderâ&#x20AC;? positions so that the number drops to nine from 21 begs the question, how did the number of senior positions balloon up to 21 in the first place? Who was watching and keeping the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration from getting so bloated?

At the briefing at city hall, Kanellakos said the changes would save the city $2.7 million over the next two years. The city will have to pay out $1.29 million in severance. Kanellakos said he talked to 2,600 of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17,000-person workforce in the two months leading up to unveiling his plan, which has the full backing of Mayor Jim Watson. According to Kanellakos, this is the first step and he will be working with the new senior leadership team who will be responsible for the next steps to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This includes a review of other levels of the organization to find opportunities to consolidate and streamline,â&#x20AC;? his memo to council reads. That sounds good, but what the real impact will be going forward is still in doubt. Most of the people being shifted out of these senior positions appear to already have other jobs at city hall to fall back on. And, of course, all residents of Ottawa should keep a close watch on city hall to make sure that as time goes by, the administration doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start to fatten up yet again.

Open arms and open hearts flourish in Canada

n July 6, Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Ramadan fast. I was invited to meet one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest families at their upper level duplex near downtown Ottawa. As I walked slowly across the street, I could hear the sound of laughter echoing from the open window. I double-checked the address, uncertain that the family of four could be responsible for these festive sounds. I knocked on the door. Jana* answered, a smile beaming across her face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eid Mubarek,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eid Mubarek!â&#x20AC;? she responded. She invited me into the small living room, where her two young daughters, age six and four, were laughing and playing in their summer dresses. Last autumn, the news image of a dead Syrian toddler face down on a beach in Syria was a call to action for many Canadians. It propelled Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously low-profile Private Sponsorship of

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Refugees Program into the spotlight, as Canadians raised money, formed groups of five and partnered with government-approved sponsoring organizations in their attempt to do something in the face of the Syrian migrant crisis. In October, the Liberals made good on an election process to fast-track the applications for 25,000 Syrian refugees from United Nations-approved lists across the Middle East. It is the largest resettlement effort since Canada received 69,000 Vietnamese â&#x20AC;&#x153;boat peopleâ&#x20AC;? between 1975 and 1980. When the government abruptly halted Syrian refugee sponsorships in March, public outcry forced them to reduce the decision. Another 10,000 Syrian refugees are

expected to arrive in Canada by the end of the year; some government assisted refugees, but many through private sponsorship. Time will tell how easily the newcomers will integrate into Canadian society. Private sponsorship is a beacon concept, however. A government evaluation has shown that privately-sponsored refugees acquire language skills more quickly, enter the workforce sooner and have better health outcomes than government assisted refugees. Observing Janaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and their interactions with four of their sponsors, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see how having an on-the-ground Canadian team dedicated to help them navigate the future can boost their success. One of the sponsors comes late to our Eid gathering and thrusts a fistful of coins into each of the young girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eid Mubarek,â&#x20AC;? she says. Another runs ahead, as we walk to the local playground, helping the girls cross the street. In the initial few weeks, sponsors were on-hand daily to take

the family to medical and dental appointments, open bank accounts and register both the adults and children for school. Since then, Jana tells me, there is someone visiting many times per week. I tell her Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard some Syrian families have complained that their sponsors are overbearing. I ask her if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too much,â&#x20AC;? says Jana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked for it. We want them here with us.â&#x20AC;? Jana and I converse with ease as we walk with her husband, the children and four of their Canadian sponsors to the park. She tells me about the day they arrived in Ottawa, following a sleepless few hours in a Toronto airport hotel and a 14-hour plane journey from Beirut. They were disoriented, unsure what their next steps would be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would they take a bus somewhere? Find shelter? Her husband said he was nervous, but Jana says she was not nervous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him not everyone is lost here like in Lebanon.â&#x20AC;? A few minutes later they spotted their name, written in Arabic, on a sign.

many crying, waving and cheering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know there would be a group for us,â&#x20AC;? Jana tells me, beaming. Although she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the word, she describes her relationship with the sponsors like one would an extended family. She says, after three years in a refugee camp, her sponsors and Canada have shown her that she can be happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve needed anything, one of them has been there for us,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy in Canada.

Capital Karting Grand Prix at Karter’s Korner John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Karter’s Korner in Goulbourn – It’s where you’ll want to be on the weekend of Aug. 6/7. That’s because it will be the site of the second annual Capital Karting Grand Prix not only featuring competitive go kart racing at its best but also highlighting the Mayor’s Cup of Wishes fundraiser which saw $35,000 raised for several charities at last year’s inaugural event. Last year saw about 3,000 attend the twoday event with ten teams in the Mayor’s Cup of Races Charity Challenge Team Races and 61 competitive racers in five categories in the kart racing. And this year’s event should be even bigger. Almost 20 teams already have signed up for the Mayor’s Cup of Races that will take place on Saturday, Aug. 6. Competitive kart racing will take place all day on Sunday, Aug. 7. Best of all, this is all free for spectators. The charitable partners associated with the Mayor’s Cup of Races at this Capital Karting Grand Prix are the Children’s Wish Foundation, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, Roger’s House, Soldier On, Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the HERA Mission of Canada. The Children’s Wish Foundation is a Canadian charity that grants a wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The Ottawa Senators Foundation invests

in social recreation and education programs that promote both physical and mental wellness for youth. Roger’s House is a paediatric residential hospice for families with children living with a life limiting illness. Soldier On empowers retired and serving members of the Canadian Forces who are living with an illness or injury to accept their situation by adopting an active lifestyle through participation in physical, recreational or sporting activities. Cystic Fibrosis Canada is a national charitable not-for-profit corporation which is committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. The HERA Mission of Canada supports women in rural Kenya who are working to change their community which has been devastated by HIV AIDS through initiatives in education, employment and food security. The idea is to grow this Capital Karting Grand Prix into a world class motorsport festival, not only raising thousands for charity in the Mayor’s Cup of Races but also showcasing the sport of karting in a fun environment. There will be a family fun zone with inflatables and concessions, along with live music on the Saturday night. Karter’s Korner features a kart track that is 883 metres long, making it the longest go kart track in Ontario. Karter’s Korner is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Fallowfield

Road and Huntley Road south of Stittsville.

Expanded ladies section John Curry

After all, they still all have lots of life and appeal left in them. Dandelions Consignment also carries fidget products from Special Finds, a local supplier for the special needs community. These products are all brand new. Thursday, July 28 is a great day to think about dropping into Dandelions Consignment Shop because that’s the day when the shop is holding its semi-annual $10 “FillA-Bag” sale for kids and teens clothing. In addition, the women’s items

john.curry@metroland.com

Dandelions Consignment shop in Stittsville has expanded its ladies wear section. There is greater selection now as the shop is now carrying up to size 2x. In addition, there is more and more ladies clothing and accessories being handled. The shop now even has an assortment of Lululemon athletic wear, all in super condition and available at much lower prices than can be found in retail outlets. And while the ladies wear section has been expanded, Dandelions Consignment shop is still carrying a wide selection of clothing for children and teens, both boys and girls. The infant apparel section, though, has been reduced. What makes shopping at Dandelions Consignment shop interesting and fun is that you don’t know what you will see there from day to day. Some newly consigned items could come in on any day. So regular visits are advised to stay abreast of new arrivals. And the prices at Dandelions Consignment are not only bargains but also they go down if the piece of clothing goes unsold. After 30 days, the price is lowered from the already low price. And if it happens to still be there after 60 days, down goes the price again. So some real bargains do appear from time to time. And purchasing from Dandelions Consignment means that you are also helping the environment as these quality, like-new clothing items get nowhere near a landfill.

Street hockey tournament John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Playing in the Hockey Night in Canada PlayOn! 4 on 4 street hockey tournament. Exciting. Winning the best jerseys of the tournament award. Awesome. Making it to the finals in the division. Priceless. This was the experience of the SKM Software Stingers of Stittsville in the annual PlayOn! Street hockey tournament which was held on Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10 in the parking lots at the Canadian Tire Centre, home of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). The SKM Software Stingers were judged to have the best jerseys in the tournament, with the team logo on the front and the player’s individual names and numbers on the back of the yellow jerseys. The SKM Software Stingers, playing in the U8 recreational division of the tournament, finished in first place out of eight teams in the preliminary round of play. The Stingers made it all the way to the championship finals of

the division in which they lost a close, hard played game by an 8-6 score. Members of the seven-member SKM Software Stingers team of Stittsville were goalie Brian Kirkwood and players Jamie Charlebois, Matthew Mines, London Knight, Ramsey Stretch, Andrew Zapp and Drew Morris. The Hockey Night in Canada PlayOn! 4 on 4 street hockey tournament bills itself as Canada’s largest sports festival with tournaments held right across Canada. These tournaments offer recreational and competitive street hockey tournament divisions at all levels. There are 24 divisions in all, with these tournaments having 20 to 50 separate “street rink” games running constantly throughout the event. These Hockey Night in Canada PlayOn! street hockey tournaments have become the largest annual participatory hockey event in the world since being started in 2003, with over two million participants now having played in one of the over 144 PlayOn! events held so far. PlayOn! street hockey tourna-

ments were started in 2003 by a guy who just loved playing road hockey with his brothers. The first PlayOn! tournament was held in Halifax, NS in 2003 with 121 teams participating. PlayOn! street hockey expanded to across Canada in 2004 and 2005, running in partnership with the NHL and the TSN television network. In 2006, which was the NHL

lockout year, the PlayOn! street hockey program did not take place. But the program returned in 2007 with CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada becoming the title sponsor for the program. In 2008, the program grew to eight Canadian cities, involving over 80,000 participants and spectators. And the PlayOn! street hockey tournament program has contin-

ued to expand ever since. There were 12 events in 2009, 15 tournaments in 2010, 17 tournaments in 2011, 19 tournaments in 2012 and 21 tournaments in both 2013 and 2014. In 2013, the national championship, game was televised on CBC. With CBC TV leaving the hockey broadcasting business, a new title sponsor is being sought for the program. The “Hockey Night in Canada” name has been licensed from the CBC. The PlayOn! street hockey tournament in Ottawa was going to be scheduled for the weekend of June 11 and June 12 in the parking lots at the Canadian Tire Centre but the dates conflicted with a concert at the Canadian Tire Centre. No other suitable location with large parking lots could be arranged and so the date for the tournament was moved to the July 9 and July 10 weekend. PlayOn! street hockey tournaments in 2016 have been held in Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Kelowna, London, Mount Pearl (Newfoundland), Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Ottawa. All of the tournaments were held in late May or June except for the Ottawa one which was held on the weekend of July 9/10.

Outbreak of reading among youth of Richmond John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

An outbreak of reading has struck Richmond. The youth of Richmond are experiencing a rash of reading. After five weeks of the TD Summer Reading Club at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library, the 1,000 book mark has been achieved. And the reading goes on! With each book read, another piece can be added to the Lego creation that is being built at the library branch. It continues to grow and it’s a big hit with all the young readers. What it will end up being is anybody’s guess! And building this Lego creation is not the only attraction for children at the Richmond library branch this summer. There’s a new children’s contest now underway that will run for six weeks, namely “Spot the animal reading in the library.” Every week, there is going to be placed in the children’s section at the library a picture of an animal reading. The challenge is for children to find the picture and then report the name of the animal.

There will be a prize draw every week involving the names of all those who spotted and identified the animal. Teen and tween readers have not been forgotten in all of this summer’s library fun in Richmond. For them, there is a shredded book in a jar contest. Yes, that’s right – a shredded book in a jar contest! And the challenge is for teen and tween readers to guess the name of the shredded book. In the jar There will be a prize for the winner. Don’t forget that there is a summer story time session being held every Wednesday evening, running from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Richmond library. Families are welcome to drop in and enjoy listening to fun stories presented by a team of enthusiastic summer students. The TD Summer Reading Club at the Richmond library is part of a Canadawide program to encourage children to read throughout the summer. After a child registers for the Club, he or she keeps track of all the books read. For each book read, a child receives a piece of Lego to help build the Lego creation – some are calling it a “masterpiece” – at the branch. This

Lego creation project is replacing the former marble maze that was used to reward youthful book readers in the summer but the maze wore out, so now its Lego building time instead. The goal of this year’s TD Summer Reading Club at the Richmond library branch is to read at least 2,500 books. With 1,000 books already read, this goal is definitely do-able. And just think of what the Lego creation will be like when the 2,500 book mark is hit. Wow!

There are programs for youth being offered every Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Richmond library. These are geared for youth ages 6 to 12 years old. Online registration is required to attend. On Wednesday, July 27, the theme at this Wednesday afternoon program will be “Creepy Crawlers.” There’s a special “River Adventure” program on Wednesday, Aug. 3. See READING, page 18

Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (EA) Kanata North Urban Expansion Area The City of Ottawa has granted approval of the Community Design Plan (CDP) for the Kanata North Urban Expansion Area subject to conditions of the Planning Act and O. Reg. 543/06. The map illustrates the Kanata North CDP Study Area. The City of Ottawa and the Project Team have planned to ensure infrastructure capacity is available for the proposed development in the expansion area. This process has been conducted in accordance with Section A.2.9 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to integrate approvals under the Environmental Assessment Act and the Planning Act. As such, approval of the Community Design Plan and associated OPA are supported by the following Master Plans which document the preferred municipal infrastructure projects: • Environmental Management Plan (EMP) • Master Servicing Study (MSS) • Transportation Master Plan (TMP) • Public Consultation Report

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on July 13, 2016 established its intention to designate the former Overbrook Public School, 149 King George Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The former Overbrook Public School, 149 King George Street, is a two-storey rectangular building clad in red brick and constructed in three phases in 1916, 1947 and 1955. The building is located on the corner of King George and Quill Streets in the Overbrook neighbourhood.

Heritage Value The former Overbrook Public School has design value as a simple example of the Collegiate Gothic style, popular for school construction across North America from 1900-1930. A late variation of the Gothic Revival style, the Collegiate Gothic style was inspired by the British universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Features of the building typical of the style include the use of red brick and limestone, symmetrical façades with evenly spaced windows and the decorative stone details. The building also has physical value because it was designed in anticipation of later additions; it was an asymmetric two room school, which remained until 1947, when a large L-shaped addition was built to accommodate the first children of the baby boom. Overbrook Public School has historic value for its association with the development of public schools in former Gloucester Township in the early 20th century. Constructed beginning in 1916, Overbrook Public School is one of the earliest remaining buildings in Overbrook. The building has associative value as an example of the work of two Ottawa architectural firms. Millson and Burgess, responsible for the design of the original building in 1916, was a prolific architectural firm in Ottawa in the early 20th century, designing a variety of buildings including churches, libraries and private residences in Ottawa and the surrounding area. Architect Walter Sylvester designed the 1947 addition to the building. Sylvester was a long time Overbrook resident and trained under celebrated Ottawa architect W.E. Noffke in the early 20th century. In the 1940s, Sylvester designed additions to several schools in former Gloucester Township. Prominently located on a corner, Overbrook Public School has contextual value as a local landmark which has served as a community hub and serves as a reminder of the community’s early development.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Reading in Richmond Continued from page 17

Many of you likely heard about the “shakeup” at City Hall. It is important to note where this direction is coming from and how it would impact residents, if at all. In the coming months, you will more than likely hear of more organizational changes at the City. Rest assured that the focus is far removed from frontline staff and our goals are not to impact service delivery in a negative way. The City Manager was tasked with reorganizing the top of the City’s bureaucracy and he is doing just that. The intent is to flatten the organization and reduce the layers between frontline services and the City Manager’s office in order to find efficiencies and maintain our budget goals going forward. If you have any specific questions about this, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office. Coach Houses You may recall a discussion on allowing coach houses within the City of Ottawa that I mentioned in my column a few months ago. The discussion, at that time, spoke to only allowing them on properties connected to municipal services. The feedback we received clearly spoke to a desire to see these on privately served lots as well and we have worked on a proposal that seeks just that. Learn how the City is proposing to permit Coach Houses, small accessory dwelling units in the backyards of residential properties, www.ottawa.ca/coachhouses.

This is when youngsters will be joining a team of fur-trading voyageurs in a game of backwoods survival. Now that sounds neat! Wednesday, Aug. 10 will see a program called “Monster Trackers” presented while Wednesday, Aug. 17 will be party time, with a closing party for these weekly youth programs taking place. This coming Monday, July 25 promises to be an exciting day at the Richmond library branch. Ray’s Reptiles Endangered Ontario Show, geared for those aged 3 to 12 years, will be presented from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Online registration at BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca is required to attend this program. It will be followed by a story time and craft time running from 3:15 p.m. to 4 p.m. This is being offered on a drop-in basis. There is no online registration required and everyone is welcome.

Rev. Carla VanDelen at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street, will be returning from her sabbatical leave this coming Monday, July 25. During the sabbatical, which began on Monday, April 18, Rev. VanDelen has taken an eight week expressive arts course at the Fleming College School of the Arts in Haliburton. She has also taken time to read, reflect, garden and renew her spirit after nearly nine years of full time ministry. A sabbatical is a period of at least three consecutive months set aside for reflection, recreation and revitalization, with the minister unencumbered by work responsibilities.

2017 Civic Events Funding Program Local not-for-profit organizations such as community groups and recreation associations are invited to apply for funding to provide one to two-day community events with free admission that foster civic pride and develop community cohesion. These events are held in a specific geographic district in Ottawa, and encompass a broad range of activities and family entertainment. To help grow our 2017 celebrations, events no longer have to take place on a statutory holiday. Also in 2017, the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa 2017 Bureau are collaborating on the Civic Events Funding Program. As in previous years, the $50,000 from the Civic Events Funding Program will continue to fund community focused events. The additional investment of $150,000 will specifically focus on community events that celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Information Package and Application Forms are available at ottawa.ca or at any Ottawa Client Service Centre. The deadline for applications is Thursday, September 15th at 4:00pm. For more information, contact 613-580-2424 ext.14133 or rec-info@ottawa.ca If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

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

July 21, 2016

Water Service Post Adjustments now Free Hello residents, This week I am pleased to announce a resolution to an ongoing concern within the community – this being standpipe valves (main water supply). If you are a homeowner or renter, you may have noticed a small black valve with a bronze screw in the center somewhere around in the front yard of your property, either on your laneway or within your lawn or garden. This is known as a standpipe or a water service post and is used in cases of emergency to shut off water to your home.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Got Events?

A problem can arise as a result of natural freeze/thaw cycles affecting the height of the post which in turn can impact a homeowner’s ability to safely maintain and enjoy their outdoor space. It caused difficulty in plowing/shovelling driveways, cutting the grass, and even posed a tripping hazard. As such, in October 2003, the City approved a water service post adjustment fee of $129 for correcting this issue. Additionally, a helpful guide was posted to Ottawa.ca for residents to safely hammer down a post themselves. However, I, along with many residents, agreed that this did not adequately reflect costs associated with the maintenance of a city implemented valve. A study was conducted and while field costs represented approximately 40% of the fee, administration represented the remaining 60%. Likewise, an industry scan of five Ontario municipalities indicated that all of the municipalities considered the standpipe to be municipal responsibility and none charged for adjustment of the post. I asked for Councillor Moffat (Rideau Goulbourn ward) to present the motion at Environment committee for me (as I do not sit on that committee) and the motion passed. Now, any resident can call the service in to 3-1-1 and have their standpipe re-adjusted free of charge.

D A E R P S E

If you have noticed an issue with your water service post, I encourage you to report it to 3-1-1 either through telephone or emailing 311@ottawa.ca to have it adjusted. City Staff Re-Structure Last week’s council meeting saw an in-camera session restructuring the organization of City staff.

This is done occasionally within governments with the intention of improving the overall effectiveness of the organization in reaching the goals set forward by Terms of Council priorities without disrupting City services.

D R WO

City manager, Steve Kanellakos has been working hard to ensure that ideas have been heard to best understand the needs of the city moving forward. With the new structure in place, reporting relationships have been simplified. The new organizational structure consists of eight departments each led by a General Manager, as well as the City Clerk and Solicitor. All senior leaders will report directly to the City Manager. Service areas have been grouped within departments in ways that break down silos and allow for greater collaboration, integrated planning and service execution.

NEW

with our FREE COMMUNITY CALENDAR

ottawa

The new organizational structure includes a senior leadership team made up of seasoned municipal leaders who will stabilize the new structure and promote real succession planning across the organization. Our senior leadership team understands this organization well and will each lead individual department with direct lines of accountability to the City Manager. This team sets the stage for future succession planning as each General Manager has been given clear direction to mentor and develop our next generation of leaders. The organization is structured as follows: • Rick O’Connor will remain as City Clerk and Solicitor; • Janice Burelle will lead the Community and Social Services Department; • Marian Simulik will lead the Corporate Services Department; • Susan Jones will lead the Emergency and Protective Services Department. Anthony Di Monte will continue as Acting General Manager until Susan returns; • Dan Chenier will lead the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department; • John Moser will lead the new Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department on an interim basis while a new General Manager is recruited; • Kevin Wylie will lead the Public Works and Environmental Services Department; • Donna Gray will lead the Service Innovation and Performance Department; and, • John Manconi will lead the Transportation Services Department. Planning department, as still not yet set, will still be decided at a later date while the City searches for the best possible candidate. I look forward to the fresh take on our Planning Department and all of these new directions the City is going in. It is with a heavy heart to bear witness to the departure of some long-time serving member of the City staff and I wish them all the best of luck in their future endeavours.

Demolition derby moves to Fair’s Thursday night John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The demolition derby has been one of the most popular attractions at the annual Richmond Fair in recent years. And it should be no different at this year’s Fair, with the bleachers surrounding the walled off rink area once again filled to overflowing with spectators. But what will be different will be when the demolition derby happens. This year, for the first time ever, the demolition derby will take place on the Thursday night of the Fair, a full 24 hours earlier than its traditional 7 p.m. start on the Fair’s Friday night. This is happening as the Fair moves to add more attractions to its offerings on the Thursday. Up until now, while the Thursday evening has always featured Toonie Night on the midway, there was little else happening on the grounds. This year, though, is going to be different which is why there will be admission charged to get on the grounds on Thursday evening. This was not the case up to now. But look what’s being offered on the Thursday evening! Toonie Night on the midway is continuing. And the demolition derby will go ahead as of 7 p.m. At 6 p.m., just before the demolition derby, there will be a monster truck demonstration in the demolition derby ring. See the spectacle of massive monster trucks climbing over cars. You won’t want to miss this, especially just before all the slamming and banging that will be following with the demolition derby. But there’s event more! Rynestone’s Magic Show will be on the outdoor stage, providing super family en-

tertainment. And 7 p.m. will see a free teen dance on the arena ice slab with music by a DJ. The Homecraft Building (Richmond Curling Club) will be open to the public from 4 p.m. onwards, allowing everyone to view the floral, homecraft, junior school, quilts, baking and other exhibits in the building, all of which had just been judged that very morning. This is the first time that the Homecraft Building will be open to the public on the Thursday of the Fair. And while the arena is hosting the non-alcoholic teen dance, those who want to enjoy a drink will have the opportunity to do so at the beer garden tent that will be set up beside the outdoor stage. This beer tent will operate throughout the four days of the Fair, with lots of entertainment offered. And while events like the demolition derby have been moved to the Thursday evening of the Fair, the lawn track pull which usually was held on the Thursday evening will take place on the Friday at 7 p.m. at this year’s Fair.

The Friday of the Fair will be filled with the Agricultural Awareness school program and seniors wagon tours of the grounds, along with livestock shoes and an evening filled with entertainment provided by “Rum Attitude” on the outdoor stage and the Mick Armitage Band and the group “Chilliwack” in the arena. Saturday at the Fair this year will see the regular range of traditional happenings like the livestock shows, the parade, entertainment on the outdoor stage and lots of entertainment in the arena. See NEW TUG OF WAR, page 23

New tug of war at 12 noon on Sunday at Richmond Fair Continued from page 22

This entertainment will include Marleen Fawcett and Kelli Trottier as well as the groups “Blackwell” and “Cold Creek Country.” Beyond these regular attractions will be several new highlights. “Birds of Prey,” which was at the Fair two years ago, will be performing on the weekend. So too will Milord’s High Dive Aerial Show, back at the Richmond Fair after a three year absence. Not to be missed at this year’s Fair, especially if you like food, is the Food Demonstration Tent which features a demonstration kitchen sponsored by the Egg Marketing Board. This food demonstration tent only appears at seven fairs in the province each year and this year the Richmond Fair is one of the chosen seven. Various food preparation demonstrations will be given with free samples handed out. It could be cupcakes or pies or lamb or crepes, for instance. Saturday will also see a heavy horse pull happening, starting at 7 p.m. Although there was a heavy horse pull at last year’s fair, rainy conditions made it a virtual washout. So this year’s fair offers the first real opportunity for spectators to see this awesome horse-powered event. And moving on to the Sunday of this year’s Fair, you won’t want to miss the livestock shows including the miniature horse show and the spectacular heavy horse six-hitch class which sees the ring filled with wagons pulled by teams of six horses. And, of course, the entertainment in the arena in the afternoon on the Sunday is all first class with Gail Gavan and Triple, Trouble, Flashback and Gord Barnes. There will be a non-denominational church service at 10:30 a.m. and the “Rise 2 Fame Talent Competition” on the outdoor stage beginning at 12 noon. Don’t forget the slow tractor race at 2 p.m. But make sure that you catch the first ever tug of

war which will happening at 12 noon in the heavy horse ring during that show’s lunchtime break. Since this is the first tug of war ever, it is not known what teams will be taking part but organizers are hoping and expecting tug of war teams representing, perhaps, the firefighters, the police, local service organizations and schools. The tug of war competition will leave the winner with the area’s tug of war bragging rights, at least until next year’s Fair. This year’s Fair will also feature a

Kiddyland Tent offering free entertainment for children including The Little Buckaroos, Michael Bourada’s Magic and The Fairy Princesses. The Countryside Petting Farm and pony rides will be at this year’s Fair, always a popular attraction. There will be working displays of antique machinery on view in the antiques area on the grounds. The home cooked meals in the Dining Hall at the fairgrounds this year will be provided by St. John’s Anglican

Church on the Friday and Saturday and by a caterer on the Sunday. This tradition of local churches serving the meals at the Richmond Fair dates back to at least 1939 and it is always a major fundraiser for the church involved on that particular year. This year’s Richmond Fair (the 172nd edition) will run from Thursday, Sept. 15 to Sunday, Sept. 18. Gate admission on each day is $10 for those age 13 and over, $5 for those aged 6 to 12 years old and free for those aged five and under.

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 am purchasing a new home. I heard from my real estate agent that I would have to get title insurance. Is this necessary? Title insurance has been around for the last 15 years and is used in almost all residential real estate purchases, especially those involving mortgages. What is title insurance and how much does it cost? Title insurance is an insurance policy covering a variety of risk involving the purchase and ownership of real estate. The policy coverage lasts for the entire period of ownership and is, in general, a cheaper option than having a real estate lawyer perform full title and off-title searches so as to provide a legal opinion on title. Mortgage providers insist on either a lawyer providing them with an opinion on title (and all the performance of searches that go with it) or to have the transaction title insured. An average one-time premium for title insurance ranges from $300 to $400 for a policy insuring a new owner and the mortgage provider. What does it cover? Title insurance covers a variety of issues associated with purchasing a home, such as conflicting ownership claims, spousal claims, title defects, encroachments and

subsequent removal of structures, unpaid property taxes and utilities, by-law infringements, such as renovations without a building permit, and many other issues. Some title insurance companies also cover errors made by a real estate lawyer representing a purchaser. Common Exclusions The most common exclusions (i.e. not covered) by title insurance are environmental issues and soil contamination, title issues known to the purchaser or their lawyer prior to closing and aboriginal claims. Title insurance only covers issues that crystallized prior to closing but were discovered following the closing. For example, renovations made to your home without a work permit after you have moved in would be excluded. Home buyers in Ontario purchase their new homes without any obligation on the seller to disclose issues with the property. Title insurance is a very efficient way to protect your investment and deal with any surprises that may come up after your purchase.

Daven Braumberger, 8, of Stittsville sits on a spinner which she helped install at the Ontario section of a Canada-themed playground now taking shape at Mooney’s Bay Park in Ottawa. This first part of the new playground was unveiled on July 14 with “Giver” television cameras rolling.

GRAHAM BRAGGER

Daven Braumberger is only eight years old, but is already considering a future career in construction. Up until recently that was never on her radar, but is now on her ‘maybe’ list after she spent three days with five other kids building an Ontario-themed play structure at Mooney’s Bay Park, the first section of what will become the largest playground in the country by the end of August. “I would love to,” Daven said of the possible career option. “It’s really fun.” The Stittsville resident was cast with five other kids from Ontario, including one each from Barrhaven, Orléans and Riverside Park, for the first leg of the project. “It’s really crazy that we built this because when I grow up I’ll be like, ‘I built this park.’ It’ll be a good memory for me,” Daven said following the structure’s reveal for TVO’s Giver TV show cameras on July 14. Daven’s mom, Monic Buettner, who joined other parents to serve as supervisors at the worksite, said the experience was empowering for the young builders, especially the girls. “They were driving the tractors, they had drills in their hands,” she said. “It wasn’t just pretend. You get behind the wheel and we’ll direct you,” Buettner said of her daughter’s experience driving a tractor. Buettner was thrilled her daughter was selected to take part in a such a milestone project, one that is being filmed for Sinking Ship Entertainment’s Giver children’s television show for TVO. The production company and city are sharing the cost of the $2-million project. The first of the episodes will be televised beginning next spring. The playground will officially open on Canada Day, 2017. “It’s so exciting – the legacy of it, the fact that it’s not only going to be for Ottawa kids but for Canadian kids for years and years to come,” Buettner said. “And it’s the biggest in Canada and she was able to help. It’s amazing.” Daven was chosen as one of six youth from across Canada cast in the first episode of the “Giver” TV show on TVO Kids which is being filmed this summer. Over the course of ten episodes, the program will show kids and volunteers working to build the 4,600 square metre Canada-shaped playground meant to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Each of Canada’s provinces and territories will be represented in this unique playground in

which will be the country’s biggest playground. Daven was selected to work on the Ontario portion of the playground. And how did this happen for Daven. When Daven and her mother Monic heard about the plays for this new playground in the news and realized that it was associated with the TV show “Giver” that Daven watched, they looked up the project online for more information. On the website, they saw a call for submissions from kids wanting to be a part of the show. They could either send in a video or a drawing of what they wanted to see as part of the playground. Daven and her mother made a short video with ideas about the playground and about why Daven wanted to help build it for Canadian children. It was submitted online. The TV show then announced

that there would be a casting call in Ottawa. Dave and her mother thought that this would be a great opportunity to see what everything was all about and to meet with the TV producers. They went to the casting call where Daven auditioned. All in all, the TV show received almost 300 submissions by drawing, video and in-person auditions related to this playground project. A few weeks after her audition, Daven was called and told that she had been chosen to be part of the Ontario cast. And this is why she was at the site as one of the sixmember cast for the first episode of the “Giver” TV show that is documenting the construction of the playground. Filming took place from July 7 to July 9, with the filming finishing up on July 14 due to earlier rainy weather.

A Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee is being headed by Cydney Green who re-

members walking as a youngster in Richmond’s 150th anniversary parade in 1968 and who chaired Richmond’s 175th anniversary celebrations in 1993. On the committee are Joyce Cook, Maryanne Wammes and Terry Lynn Love, all of whom were involved with the 175th anniversary celebrations in 1993, as well as Kellie Cook, Sarah Wammes, Karen Xarchos, Tino Bevacqua and Kerrie Cook.

St. John’s rector Rev. Michel Dubord is retiring John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

For over half of his ordained ministry, Rev. Michel Dubord has been rector of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond – 18 years in total. Only two others in the long history of St. John’s going back to its beginnings in 1823 as the first Anglican church in Carleton County have achieved such long tenure in

Rev.Michel Dubord

the position – Rev. A.J. Poole with 17 years service and Rev. Canon Charles Biggar Pettit with 22 years in the parish. Now Rev. Dubord is taking early retirement from full-time ministry as he and his wife Kathy move to the Perth area where there is a 40 acre patch of God’s rolling countryside peacefully waiting for them. But what he is leaving behind is a record of leadership and involvement that started right from when he first arrived on the Richmond scene just after the famous Ice Storm of 1998. There’s been the Quiet Garden, the Children’s Garden, the day hospice, the community’s focus on a youth program and the need for more community space, the Richmond refugee initiative, providing Richmond space for the Rural Ottawa South Support Services and more. Under his leadership, St. John’s Anglican Church has participated in community parades, has been involved in the annual Good Friday Walk of the Cross and has held an annual Blessing of the Animals, following in the example of St. Francis of Assisi. And on a more personal note, there was his campaign to stop Canada’s exporting of cancer-causing asbestos which saw him literally take to standing on a street corner to make people more aware of the problem and, who could forget, his portrayal of a bride in the church’s Womanless Fashion Show earlier this year. Taking a page from the 1970 Dustin Hoffman movie “Little

Big Man” which recounts the life experiences of a man who is short in stature but tall in bravery, Rev. Dubord calls St. John’s Anglican Church the “Little Big Church.” He notes that although it is a relatively small church in numbers, its members have shown how much can be done even when lacking a lot of resources. He praises the dedication and work of the people of the parish, saying that his greatest fear during his years at the church was burning out the people. This never happened. The Quiet Garden is an example of St. John’s parish using what resources it had to do something and that resource was property. The Ice Storm of early 1998 had forced a clean-up of the church property and generated thoughts among the congregation of doing something with the property. Talk focussed on developing some kind of quiet garden area and when Rev. Dubord arrived, he introduced the idea of a establishing a labyrinth on the property, something that he had experience with in his previous posting. A shared vision developed and the Quiet Garden was developed, open to everyone. It is now home to meditation and labyrinth walk sessions and the main worship service in July is held in the Quiet Garden. Baptisms and weddings have been held there and the area continues to get more beautiful with each passing year, thanks to a dedicated group in the congregation who are looking after it. Another more recent initiative which is starting to get more no-

tice is the Children’s Garden, a fenced-in area on church property at the corner of Fowler Street and Strachan Street which was developed thanks to the generosity of long time St. John’s parishioners, the late Ted and Helen Earle. This Children’s Garden is getting more and more use and more attention from passers-by. Since 2007, St. John’s Anglican Church has hosted a day hospice every Thursday in the church hall. It came about after the Anglican Diocese at that time urged its churches to assess community needs and try to enrich the life of the community in some way. Rev. Dubord read about the work of Friends of Hospice Ottawa (a forerunner organization to today’s Hospice Care Ottawa) and went about partnering with them in their work of providing services and care to those with

life threatening illness. While plans for developing a residential day hospice on the grounds at St. John’s (using that property resource again) did not work out, the day hospice program started in the church hall continues to this day, with a dedicated group of parishioners involved in its operation, along with Hospice Care Ottawa. Rev. Dubord sees the day hospice as an opportunity for St. John’s to be of service to the community, calling it “one of the wonderful things here,” connecting the church with the world outside. It was St. John’s Church which played a leading role in a community visioning process which identified needs in the community, specifically the need for a youth program and the need for more public community space.

Rev. Dubord studied at St. Paul’s University in Ottawa Continued from page 33

A youth program has now been established at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre and more public community space is now a community goal. Indeed, Rev. Dubord feels that it is only a matter of time before new public community space becomes a reality. Rev. Dubord and St. John’s had a hand in the recent initiative which has seen the creation of the Richmond Village Refugee Welcome group and its efforts to sponsor a Syrian refugee family. He readily acknowledges the efforts of others in both the parish and in the community in taking lead-

ership of this initiative. He was involved initially to help make it happen. He feels that it is important for Richmond as a community that there are those in the community who care about social justice issues and who work to broaden the definition of neighbour and what it means to be a community. He points out that, as this case demonstrates, the church does not have to run things but should be involved with such initiatives. He says that when a church partners with others while having a voice at the table, amazing things can happen. The church gets to be involved

with those concerned with community issues, whether they go to church or not. Recently St. John’s has provided space in its church hall for a local office location for the Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) organization which is headquartered in Manotick but which provides services throughout the rural south of the city of Ottawa including Richmond. ROSSS has partnered with the Richmond Village Association in providing a shopping bus service in Richmond. Rev. Dubord’s road to his years in Richmond began with three and a half years of full time theological stud-

ies at the renowned Catholic St. Paul’s University in Ottawa, leading to a Bachelor of Theology, albeit with an additional Anglican component. During these summers when a student, he served in different parishes to gain experience and after his graduation from St. Paul’s, he was accepted to be ordained, serving initially as an assistant curate at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church in Ottawa. He then was appointed as the incumbent at a three-point parish on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River – St. James in Hull, St. George’s in Gatineau and St. Mary’s in Chelsea, with each parish different and unique. A realignment of these parishes by the Diocese saw Rev. Dubord become parish priest at St. George as well as become director of the Temple Pastures Retreat Centre in the Gatineau hills, an Anglican retreat centre operated by the Anglican Diocese of

Ottawa. During his tenure as director, this Retreat Centre adopted a view of building Christian community through community rather than the prevailing thought of the church being a parishcentred organization. He continued to look after the Temple Pastures Retreat Centre when he became rector at St. Mark’s Parish in Cumberland, a small parish but one with a very dedicated group of parishioners in his view. Then, almost out of the blue, Rev. Dubord has the opportunity to become rector at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond and he leapt at the chance as it allowed him to be closer to his three young children who were living with their mother in Kanata at that time. And he found the people of St. John’s very welcoming to his arrival while on his part he had lots of energy

and lots to give to his new circumstance. It has turned out to be a great fit, the people of St. John’s and Rev. Dubord. He says that one of the reasons for this is that the people of St. John’s have been extremely trusting and accepting of change. Rev. Dubord admits that he is fairly progressive theologically as well as by nature and he praises the congregation for allowing him to change some things at St. John’s and to introduce the congregation to new ways of doing things. And he has developed quite an attachment to the people of St. John’s. Indeed, while his desire to retire early has been paramount, he also did not want to move to another parish because to properly serve a new parish, he would have to block out all of his memories related to his years at St. John’s.

Minister intends to keep in touch Continued from page 34

And he does not want to do that – he wants to keep the people of St. John’s in the forefront of his thoughts moving forward, noting that they have both laughed and cried a lot together and he wants these memories to be what he retains from his years in full time parish work. Rev. Dubord also admits that he just does not have the energy any longer to go somewhere else and start all over again. He says that he would love to be 30 or 40 years old again with lots of energy, adding that these are interesting times in terms of the Christian faith with so much opportunity now to think creatively in that regard. He says that he and Kathy are looking forward to living more simply in the coming years, appreciating nature. But he says that he will remain open to opportunities, perhaps something will arise that he has not even though of at present. He has a soft spot for small congregations which are challenged

by finances and people involvement and he might help out a church in such a situation. He also has an idea about developing an after school program for children focussed on developing a healthy self-compassion which simply means loving yourself as much as your best friend and having a strong sense of self. He wants to help kids grow in a healthy way. He will also continue to provide spiritual direction to folks as he always has and always will be willing to listen to and to help people in their journey through life. But Rev. Dubord makes it clear that he is not planning on falling off the face of the earth in his retirement. He intends to keep in touch with the folks at St. John’s and will always be involved with the Anglican Church in one way or another. One of the reasons that he has opted for early retirement is that he is in good health and as such he will be able to do things in retirement which rely on good health.

Dubord will be retiring as the rector of St. John’s the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond in August, with Sunday, Aug. 7 being the final service over which he will preside. Rev. Dubord has been rector at St. John’s since 1998,

a total of 18 years. Following his retirement, the Anglican Diocese should be appointing an interim minister for a few months to give the parish an opportunity to determine its vision for the future. This interim appointment would then be followed by the appointment of an incumbent to the position.

36 Stittsville News - Thursday, July 21, 2016

Council committee to consider amendments on Oct. 6 Continued from page 36

Seventy five parking spaces are being proposed for the area between the medical centre/pharmacy and these other two buildings. In addition, the proposal includes a retirement home on the eastern portion of the site, along with 35 additional parking spots. Such a retirement home meets even the current zoning on the site but a holding zone would be established to prohibit any such development until a municipal water service is available to the site. As things now stand, city council’s Ag-

riculture and Rural Affairs Committee will consider this Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendment proposal at its meeting on Thursday, Oct. 6. The city of Ottawa is now seeking public input about this proposal. Comments about the proposal should be provided to city of Ottawa planner Natalie Persaud by Tuesday, Aug. 8. Planner Persaud can be contacted by mail at the City of Ottawa, Planning and Growth Management Department, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Fourth Floor, Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1, by phone at 613-580-2424, ext. 12681 or by

Royals returning to Richmond for 2016-17 season John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Goodbye Stittsville Royals. Hello (again) Richmond Royals. The local team which plays in the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 is returning to its roots for the upcoming 2016-2017 season by re-branding itself as the Richmond Royals and playing its home games in Richmond rather than in Stittsville. The home opener for the re-branded Richmond

Royals will happen on Sunday, Oct. 2 at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena). The Richmond Royals joined the fledgling Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League back in 1968. The Richmond Royals played out of Richmond from 1968 to 1990 as the Richmond Royals before becoming the Goulbourn Royals. In 2003, the Goulbourn Royals changed to become the Stittsville Royals, with home games played at the new Goul-

Richmond

bourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. A brief affiliation with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association in 2014 with the team playing as the Stittsville RAMS did not work out and the team reverted to being the Stittsville Royals. Last season the Royals played a number of home games at the Richmond arena, with the Richmond-Munster Minor Hockey Association looking after the sale of tickets, the 50/50 draw and the canteen in a partnership with the Royals.

mond Medical Centre of Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb on Perth Street until such time as the new medical clinic is available, hopefully in the fall of 2017. These new doctors will also be taking over the patients of Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb as the Rabbs move into retirement.

New addition to church pew was entertaining

MARY COOK Memories Our family sat in the pew next to the very front of the church, which I always thought was a shame because I could never see a thing going on behind me. Mother forbade us to turn around in our seats, and my sister Audrey said the whole back of the church could fall in behind us, and Mother would expect us to keep our eyes

peeled straight ahead. I thought the church service long and boring. The time dragged by, and even though Audrey said it was a real sin to let my mind wander away from what the minister was saying, I had no idea what he was talking about. And so it was with more than a bit of joy the day a very elderly lady moved from the

CAT OF THE WEEK SWEETNESS PERSONIFIED CANDY is a beautiful tabby and white with gorgeous eyes, gentle & sweet kitty. She is truly trying to catch your eye. She is only 6 years young and is waiting for the loving home of her own. She is also a nurturer and a affectionate cat especially towards younger then her… She loves to mentor and be a role model. She is laid back and can be the kitty you have been waiting all along to add to your family. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622.

back to the other end of our pew. I hardly knew the old woman, but I was delighted she was close at hand, because now I had something else to occupy my mind. That first Sunday, she was already sitting in her seat by the time we piled in beside her. The seats curved, so I had no trouble looking over in her direction and giving her a good going over. She sat with her hands folded in her lap on top of her opened Bible. Mother nodded in her direction, but the old woman either had no desire to be friendly, or there was something wrong with her eyesight. It looked like someone had just propped her in the seat. In fact, I wondered if that was what had happened, and I wished at once, that we had been there to see her come in. Emerson hissed he thought she may have passed away. Mother poked him on the knee to hush him up. But then she opened her purse to take out a little lacy hanky, and a strong whiff of lavender perfume floated over the pew causing Emerson to raise his hand to his mouth and let out a loud gagging cough. He wasn’t too fond of perfume. But at least it proved the old lady was still alive. Her skin looked like it had been drawn tightly across her face, and there was no doubt about it, she was going to give me plenty to think about during the long service, and I was secretly delighted, I confess, that she had lost her hearing and had to move up to the front of the church. I soon realized the sinfulness of my thoughts, and asked a quick forgiveness from God for harbouring such ideas.

I had no idea what the minister was talking about that day. I was too engrossed in the old lady in the seat beside us. It wasn’t long before she started to doze off and yet she never moved a fraction of an inch in the pew. But her eyelids slipped down, fluttered open, and then closed again for good. She flew awake when the organist let out a blast for the last hymn. I must say it startled me too, and for the first time, the old lady looked over at us, and issued what passed for a smile. When the service was over, Mother reached across and extended a hand. Then the old lady opened her purse again, and another whiff of lavender settled around us. She took a nickel out of her purse and handed it to me, and said it was for being so good in church. I was dumbfounded, and Emerson pushed in beside me, but there was no more money in the offing. And then Mother, to my horror, beamed at me after I said my thanks, and told me to go and put it in the offering plate at the front of the church. I couldn’t believe my ears! The old woman was beaming at me, and I knew I had to do what Mother said, and hand over the nickel. A whole nickel! With a heavy heart I went up to the plate and dropped it in. It was the fastest money I had ever earned, and it was the shortest time I had ever had a nickel in my possession! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Tourtiere meatballs with maple- Around village of Richmond cranberry glaze a great appetizer Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Tourtiere, a savoury Quebeçois meat pie, has become a dinner must-have for many across Canada. Here we’ve incorporated the flavours into easy-to-make meatballs and added a cranberry glaze for festive noshing. Preparation Time: 20 minutes; Cooking Time: 25 minutes; Baking Time: 25 minutes; Makes about 42 meatballs. Meatballs: 8 oz. (250 g) mushrooms; 1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped onion; 1 1/2 lb. (750 g),lean ground beef; 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) each dried sage leaves, thyme leaves and celery salt; 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each ground all-spice, cinnamon and nutmet; 3/4 cup (175 mL) packed mashed potato (1 potato). Glaze: 1 cup (250 mL) smooth jellied cranberry sauce 1/4 cup (50 mL) each barbecue sauce and water 2 tbsp (25 mL) maple syrup In food processor, pulse mushrooms and onion until evenly ground, stopping often to scrape down side. Place in large bowl; add beef, sage, thyme, celery salt, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add potato; mix well with your hands. Shape into approximately 42 meatballs 1-1/2 inches (2.5 cm).

Arrange racks in top and bottom third of oven. Spray or oil two large rimmed baking sheets. Place meatballs on baking sheet. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven, switching racks half way through, until meatballs are brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Let stand on baking sheets for three minutes. Remove to large serving bowl. Meanwhile, in medium skillet, over medium-low heat, combine cranberry, barbecue sauce, water and maple syrup, stirring often, until melted and fairly smooth. If desired, stir in more water, a tablespoon (15 mL) at a time. Pour over meatballs and stir gently to coat. Serve with toothpicks. Tip: Make meatballs ahead, bake and cool on sheets; refrigerate in sealed container up to 3 days or freeze. Warm meatballs in microwave for seven minutes. Prepare glaze as above; pour over meatballs, stir to coat. Serve warm.

Goldie Ghamari seeking PC nomination for Carleton in next provincial election John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Goldie Ghamari wants to be the next MPP representing this area. But the 31 year old international trade lawyer has a long road to travel to achieve this goal in the 2018 provincial election which is why she is now actively getting her name out there. One of these occasions was a town hall meeting which she hosted at Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond on Tuesday evening, July 12. But she has also spoken at the Victoria Day fireworks in Ashton, been a judge at the Medieval Festival in Osgoode, and attended community events in Stittsville and other areas of the Carleton riding which is the provincial riding in which she will be seeking the Progressive Conservative nomination. This is a new riding extending from Ashton and Stittsville in the west across the rural south of the city of Ottawa to the Riverside South community and Metcalfe in the east. It is the riding in which Pierre Poilievre was elected as the MP in last fall’s federal election. Goldie has been door knocking throughout parts of the riding already and is relying on social media and “word of mouth” to get her message out there. And one of her supporters already is Rick Schouten of Richmond who hosted

her on a visit to the Schouten farm near Richmond and was impressed not only with her ability to listen to concerns but also to follow up on them. “I feel she is a young vigorous candidate who has a lot to offer,” Rick said about Goldie at the town hall meeting in Richmond. For Goldie, following up on concerns is part of being a politician who always keeps in mind who he or she is representing. In her remarks at the town hall meeting in Richmond, Goldie cited hydro, taxes, agriculture and health care as key issues for her. While acknowledging that the sale of the provincially owned Ontario Hydro will be done before the next provincial election in 2018, she noted that rising hydro bills are affecting living costs and are forcing industry closures in the province. She said that the current provincial government has enough tax funding available to it but that is has a “spending problem,” leading to financial problems. She said that the agricultural sector needs access to natural gas and that there needs to be a focus on preserving farmland while allowing rural landowners to do what they want to on the land which they own. See INTERNATIONAL, page 45

International trade lawyer Goldie Ghamari wants to make a difference through politics Continued from page 44

Goldie lamented funds cut from the provincial health care budget, causing the layoff of hundreds of nurses. Goldie explained that she is becoming involved in politics because she believes that now is the time to make a difference. Acknowledging that she could make more money as an international trade lawyer, she instead wants to work hard to make a difference in politics, offering herself as a new, young, fresh face on the political scene. “I am fed up with the way things are,” she said, noting that young people today have difficulty in buying a house and starting a family. She said that she would engage with younger voters, noting that it is their future that is at stake. She said that if action is not taken now, things may never get restored to how they should be with a focus on the day to day problems that people are facing. She pledged to fight for people’s rights and to stand up for the residents of Carleton riding.

She explained what lies ahead for her. To run as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the 2018 provincial election in Carleton riding, she must first win the party’s nomination. A nomination meeting is expected to be held sometime in 2017 at which only members of the Progressive Conservative party in the riding can vote. Membership is $10 per year. This may be a highly contested nomination battle because right now there is no incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP in the riding. Right now parts of the new Carleton riding are represented by MPP Lisa MacLeod and by MPP Jack MacLaren. MPP MacLeod has already announced that she will be running in a Nepean riding in the 2018 provincial election while MPP MacLaren is expected to run in the new riding encompassing Kanata and West Carleton. This leaves the new riding of Carleton with no incumbent MPP. Goldie came to Canada when she was just one year old when her parents left everything behind and immigrated to Canada, believing that Canada would give their children more opportunities in life. The family arrived in Montreal with only two suitcases and only $50 but her parents worked hard, became Canadian citizens and instilled in Goldie and her sis-

ter the importance of respecting and living by Canadian values. Her parents taught their children that success comes through hard work, determination and sacrifice. Her sister is now an aerospace engineer while she is an international trade lawyer. As a lawyer, she saw the unfair policies and laws affecting her clients. She realized that instead of helping just one person at a time, she could help everyone by becoming involved in politics and working to change unfair policies and laws in Ontario. She wants to use her advocacy skills to fight for the concerns of Carleton residents at Queens Park.

Golsa “Goldie” Ghamari was called to the Bar of Ontario in June 2013 after graduating from the Faculty of Common Law at the University of Ottawa. She has worked as an International Trade and Public Affairs Legal Advisor, doing work at the Federal Court and at the Federal Court of Appeal as well as other work. She also founded her own law practice, Golsa Ghamari Professional Corporation, which is a boutique international trade and commercial litigation law firm. Goldie is a Board member of the Women’s Business Network of Ottawa as well as vice president of the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week you will get a strong sense of what you have to do to solidify a relationship. Build off of what you and your significant other have in common. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Employ flattery more in your daily conversations, Taurus. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar, so begin with a compliment before providing constructive criticism. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others may value your advice even if they do not ultimately take it to heart. Do not let this get in the way of offering guidance to others down the road. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give more thought to responsibilities that might be weighing you down. It might be time to lighten your load a little bit. Find someone to help you out. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, get to the heart of the problem so you can find a solution as quickly as possible. Take ownership of your leadership role in a situation and direct others with confidence. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, take a calm approach to an unexpected situation this week. Looking at things coolly and calmly will help you rectify the situation in a way that benefits all involved.

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!
