Carp’s Pizza Workz donating to Fort McMurray relief ‘Something this horrendous, it’s important that everybody does what they can’ Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

For every pizza sold at Pizza Workz in Carp, $1 will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross to help those affected by the devastating forest fires in Fort McMurray.

Daniel Vopni, co-owner of the pizzeria with his father Ed, spent a year living and working in Fort Mc-

Murray. “I actually spent a year in Fort Mac right before I came back to buy this place,” said Vopni, “I still have friends and family in that area.

“We’ve been in touch with them and they all got evacuated.”

The fundraiser is a way for him to help those living in the Alberta city after sweeping forest fires caused the largest mass scale evacuation in Canadian history.

“Something this horrendous, it’s important that everybody does what they can,” said Vopni.

Rain, cooler temps lift burn ban Fire crews battle two grass fires in West Carleton Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ottawa firefighters tackled two grass fires in West Carleton early last week before Mother Nature sent some welcome rain on Friday followed by cooler temperatures, causing fire ser-

vices to lift a city-wide burn ban.

A malfunctioning lawnmower was the cause of a grass fire at 3904 March Road, near Upper Dwyer Hill Road, on Wednesday, May 11.

About 20 to 30 dogs and a handful of horses were evacuated from a barn and kennel on the property in case the fire spread, said fire services spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal.

Hundreds wish Juanita Snelgrove a happy 100th birthday Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hundreds of people came out to wish a very happy 100th birthday to Juanita Snelgrove, a descendant of the historic Pinhey family and a long-time community volunteer in West Carleton and Kanata.

The birthday celebration, attended by more 330 people, was held in the original stone house at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site on May 14. Snelgrove turns 100 on Friday, May 20.

The line of people waiting to visit with the guest of honour snaked through the house and out onto the lawn. Snelgrove spoke with everyone, often recounting a story with old friends and new.

She said she was really enjoying the party before greeting the next person in line.

"I think she shook hands with all 337 people," said Daphne Snelgrove, Juanita's eldest daughter.

Juanita, who is well known throughout the community for her volunteerism, is still very active with a number of organizations including the Dunrobin Women's Institute and the Anglican Parish of March. She moved to the Chartwell Kanata Retirement Residence last year and recently took up cribbage and euchre.

"I guess I just take it for granted. I have a different view of age now – 80 is not very old," said Daphne. "Any activity that’s going on she’s there for. If they have outings she’s the first to put her name down."

HISTORY

Juanita graduated from McGill University in 1939, a time when very few women pursued post-secondary education. She also volunteered for the children’s hospital and became involved in the Girl Guide movement.

In 1950, after a long courtship, she married her husband Charlie and moved to a farm near Carp, before settling in Dunrobin near Pinhey’s Point.

She became active in local agriculture, including exhibiting at the Carp Fair, while raising her three daughters, Daphne, Meg and Con. When her husband died, Juanita

began volunteering in earnest.

A long-time member of the Anglican Parish of March, she has served as a member of the Anglican Church Women (ACW) and been an active supporter of many charities such as Centre 454, which provides assistance to the homeless.

Her volunteer work includes involvement with the Canadian Institute for the Blind, Canadian Cancer Society, Dunrobin Women's Institute and the former city of Kanata.

Juanita has also done extensive work with the March Historical Society and Pinhey's Point Foundation.

A well-known speaker on the Pinhey

family, she would often dress in period costume during visits to local elementary schools and during events at Pinhey's Point.

In 2012, the City of Ottawa named a Kanata park in her honour.

The Juanita Snelgrove Park is located at 374 Kinghorn Cres.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon and Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson both spoke about Juanita’s many accomplishments over the past century during the party.

- With files from Metroland Media

Juanita was born in Brighton, England, in 1916 to mother Constance Rhynas Pinhey and father Eustace Hamilton-Jackson. After their wartime marriage failed, Juanita and her mother immigrated to Canada in 1920 to live with her grandmother in Montreal.

Always call before burning: Cardinal Continued from page 1

Crews managed to keep the fire from spreading and had the flames under control shortly after 12:30 p.m., about 20 minutes after the 911 call came in.

Firefighters remained on scene to soak the surrounding fields and monitor for any hot spots.

Cardinal said she credits the homeowners for calling 911 so quickly and for not trying to put the fire out themselves – which is when people most often put themselves at risk for burns and smoke inhalation, not to mention the risk of the flames spreading.

“We were so fortunate the homeowner called us right away – they did the safe thing,” said Cardinal. “This quick intervention from the caller and Ottawa Fire Services prevented fire spread to surrounding buildings as well as injuries.”

DOUSE ASHES BEFORE DUMPING

Fire crews also responded to a brush fire at 2245 Fifth Line Rd., near Berry Side Road in the Dunrobin area, around 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 10.

The wind ignited ashes that had been dumped outside and the dry grass conditions “caused flames to extend rapidly and (get) out of control,” said Cardinal.

Firefighters used a pond at the front of the property to help fight the flames, which were deemed completely extinguished shortly after 2:40 p.m.

“We would like to remind resi-

dents to be extremely vigilant when disposing of ashes or smoking materials,” said Cardinal.

This includes dousing ashes in water or sand before discarding them, she said. For smoking materials use deep, sturdy ashtrays and never butt out in potted plants or in flower beds because moss, wood chips and bark can easily ignite.

“Those safety precautions and measures are highly recommended,” said Cardinal. “We’re trying to have people be extremely cautious and vigilant. We want to thank them for their co-operation.”

BURN BAN LIFTED

Although open air fires were permitted as of 4 p.m. on May 13, Cardinal cautioned that people must still call Ottawa fire at 613-580-2880 before burning anything and before lighting a campfire.

People should also read the conditions on their permit every time they burn, and as a courtesy give their neighbours a heads-up, said Cardinal. This helps to limit emergency calls for permitted fires.

Other tips from Cardinal include: • Don’t leave the fire unattended • Make sure the area around the fire is clear of combustibles • Don’t use gasoline or any other kind of accelerant to light fires • Talk to your kids about fire safety – don’t play near fires • Have a water source nearby For more information on burn permits, visit ottawa.ca/en/residents/ emergency-services/fire-services/ burn-permits.

Province must keep Metrolinx cost in line

T

he provincial government has used blackmail to get major centres in Ontario to use the province’s Metrolinx operated Presto payment system as the smart card system for transit fare payment in the province.

So it is the province that must make sure that Metrolinx does not gouge municipal transit systems.

This issue is top of mind for civic leaders such as Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson these days as the initial contract to use Presto comes up for renewal.

Some media reports are even suggesting that Metrolinx is seeking as much as a 10 per cent commission on each Presto transaction.

The contract with the company ends in October and at this time that contract requires a two per cent commission be paid on each fare.

With the end of the contract will come an increase in the commission, and as Metroland Media reports, it’s just not clear how much that will be.

The province must make sure there is a fair fare commission. While Watson said the system has been working well, he doesn’t want the city

to be treated as a cash cow by Metrolinx and Presto to fund their operations. “We think a reasonable fee schedule should be established and we’ve put forward proposals,�

Watson said. The mayor noted he plans to travel to Toronto at the end of the month and will meet with several ministers – including Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Luca. “Sometimes these issues can be solved by staff, but sometimes they turn political,� he said. “We have let them know very clearly that we want to make sure Presto remains affordable for our passengers, first and foremost, and secondly, for the city.�

Watson said the deal has had the effect of creating a monopoly. If OC Transpo doesn’t use the proprietary payment system, the city isn’t eligible for the millions in funding it receives annually from provincial gas tax transfers.

What gas tax revenue has to do with a specific transit system fare payment system is anyone’s guess, but that is the blackmail the province has used to, in essence, create a provincial monopoly.

Join up or you won’t get your gas tax money. If the mob did that it would be called a shakedown.

When the province does it, it’s public policy.

Access to public washrooms is an issue

T

hese days a lot of attention is being paid in the news media to the problems of people finding a washroom appropriate to their gender. Much less attention is paid to the problem of people finding a washroom at all.

You might be familiar with a recent study conducted by Carleton University Social Work students who looked at public toilets owned and operated by the City of Ottawa.

The study unearthed accessibility problems and signage problems. But the most significant finding was that “45 per cent of the City of Ottawa public toilets were unavailable for access, either due to seasonal or daily closures.�

That study, it should be added, was conducted during normal operating hours, 9 to 5. Let’s remember that people don’t all re-

there is a clubhouse building with washrooms. But the washroom doors are locked.

Ridiculous things happen then.

The mother of a player borrows a car and drives to the nearest McDonald’s to use the washroom.

A child who can’t get to a restaurant pees in the bushes.

The bushes abut someone’s back yard. The person whose back yard it is yells at the child.

The child probably wasn’t the first to use those bushes.

Oddly, toilets are available in some parks with no clubhouse buildings because a porta potty has been installed. There is no logic to it.

You know why those washrooms aren’t open. They need to be staffed, it is felt, staffing costs money and the city is always looking for ways to save it.

But this is one expenditure that

might actually win votes.

Not to sound like a broken record, but maybe some of the money allotted to the big 2017 celebrations could be diverted.

Or maybe the city could come to an agreement with sports leagues or community associations.

Whatever the solution, one is needed.

The arguments in favour of more public washrooms open for longer hours hardly need repeating: the population is aging; the number of people with debilitating conditions who can’t be far from a washroom is growing.

Beyond that, our aim should be to get both you and older people out of the house and more active, since that is essential both for physical and mental health.

We don’t want people staying in who should be out.

Bill 100 not worth the Bush parties could cause a major fire concern, division caused

COULD REDUCE VALUES

What property owner in his or her right mind would want to enter into an agreement with the Government of Ontario and a recreational club to have a permanent easement across their property?

This potentially reduces the value of the property.

In its present form, the Bill also allows for transfer of rights from one eligible body (e.g. recreational club) to another, e.g. a conservation authority, a qualified organization, as defined under section 170 (h) of the Internal Revenue Code (United States), or any other body

prescribed by the regulations under this Act. In the case of hydro easements, the property owner receives a benefit. I just don’t see any benefits to the property owner from Bill 100.

Yes, yes, I know.

The easements are voluntary and property owners can specify their own covenants.

But pity the poor soul who doesn’t write up the agreement to cover all eventualities.

WHAT OF FUTURE?

Because folks, this is not just an agreement between you and the recreational club - it is now subject to the Act and whatever regulations will accompany it, including as yet undefined offsets from the trails.

As for the improvement to Ontario’s Trespass to Property Act, it is my understanding that this law, in most cases, does not take away an owner›s or tenant›s right to sue for trespass (under common law), but usually grants the government (not the owner) the authority to seek its own sanctions as a way to control this sort of behaviour.

Changes to the provincial trespass law can be done separately from Bill 100.

The only objective I see to this Bill is in creating a permanent trails system in Ontario.

If the easements are voluntary, I don’t see many property owners entering into these agreements and so why all the fuss to pass a Bill that may be regulating little or nothing at all.

Shirley Dolan, president, Carleton Landowners Association

Poem praises God and spring To the Editor: ‘Pussy Willows’ Little pussy willows up in the tree What a beautiful reminder of you and me, Of all the wonderful and marvelous things That God makes new each and every spring; With their fluffy wee coats, And all looking their best, They let little birds in their branches to rest;

Waiving about high in the air, As if praising the Lord for putting them there.

Little pussy willows form up in the tree Oh what a pleasure you are to see, Popping out on those branches As if to sing, “We are wishing to everyone a happy Spring” Irene Kuseler Arnprior

the pine forest was created all the way from St. Gabriel’s Church that had been saved to past the Community Centre that was just a dance hall at that time.

Fire lanes were made and saved the day. Fireside Drive was named that because that is where the fire was stopped.

I hope that the young people

will not have bush parties on our forest this summer. We wouldn’t want what happened to Fort McMurray to happen at Constance Bay. We only have one road for an evacuation route.

Fran Dawson Constance Bay

Duffy case shows you shouldn’t rush to judgment To the Editor: When Mike Duffy was first charged with 31 counts of bribery and “intent to commit fraud,” a homeless person approached Judge Vaillancourt who was trying the case and yelled out, “throw him in jail,” referring to Duffy.

The judge did no such thing.

He found Duffy not guilty and dismissed all the charges because the crown failed to make their case.

Come on, Duffy must be guilty of at least one of those charges; there has to be some evidence. Nope!

What the judges ruling proves is that the rush to judgment in the court of public opinion steered and fueled by a news-hungry, headline-seeking, misleading biased media is not only dangerous but ignores the most important concept and principle of our legal system that an accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and is entitled to, in the exact words of the judge, “a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.”

In this case, the RCMP, the crown prosecutors, the PMO and Conservative Senators all seemed to be following the instructions from the Prime Ministers Office and Nigel Wright, the PM’s chief of staff, who paid the $90,000 to Duffy, who then repaid the Senate (offering money to a Senator is illegal).

The RCMP has yet to tell the public why Mr. Wright was not charged with bribing a Senator - but they were sure in a hurry to charge Mr. Duffy who accepted the bribe.

Oh, sorry there was no bribery going on; it was just returning the taxpayers’ money to the Senate.

To the Editor: Re. ‘Don’t Fall for Bill 100 conspiracy theories’, West Carleton Review, May 12.

Bill 100, Supporting Ontario›s Trails Act is a very divisive piece of legislation.

It may be helpful to those who want a permanent trails system throughout Ontario, be they users of recreational trails or the businesses that benefit from the trail users and I can understand MPP Hillier’s desire to support these interests.

But a decades-old tradition of property owners allowing snowmobilers, hikers, ATV riders and others to traverse their lands has been seriously compromised by the introduction of this Bill.

For generations, the trails systems in Ontario have grown significantly without a Trails Act, so one wonders why we need one now. So I am having difficulty understanding why Hillier supports the Bill and appears to be having trouble with open debate on it.

To the Editor: I appreciate Crime Prevention Ottawa’s warning on Thursday, May 12 (West Carleton Review) about bush party dangers.

At Constance Bay in 1948, there was a huge fire that gobbled up most of the central area of our community.

After the desolation of the fire,

In which the Farmer becomes a ‘sexagenarian’: Really, that’s what it’s called The Farmer turns 60 this month.

We celebrated with something that I will likely never undertake again, as long as I live.

I booked the Legion hall and threw him a surprise party.

I started planning the surprise months ago. I sent out the invitations, booked the hall and gave our girls their individual assignments for slideshow, music playlist, birthday cake, décor.

I don’t know what I would have done without their help and the help of my mother and sister and friends. But when it came to the development of a believable fib that would get my husband to his own surprise birthday party on time, I was on my own. And I’m a terrible liar.

The anxiety set in about two weeks before the event. I worried he would make real estate appointments for the night of the party, or he just wouldn’t feel like going out.

Someone asked how would I get him to the hall on time? I decided I would tell him we were going to the surprise 40th of a girlfriend of mine. “Which friend?” she asked.

“It has to be someone he doesn’t know very well, but knows well enough to want to go to her party. You need a backstory. You need to know her birthdate, her middle name ...”

It worries me how much thought my daughter puts into telling a lie. She’s good.

The morning of the party, I still hadn’t told my husband that we had plans that night. Finally I blurted out, “it’s Mr. Stover’s retirement party tonight. You know, he taught with my dad for years.”

I gulped. He said ok. Then he said he planned to spend the day running around doing real estate stuff, and he would drive into the city to visit his dad.

Good, I thought. Because I have to spend the day zipping around town buying decorations, getting my hair done, picking up helium balloons, collecting and testing audiovisual equipment and setting up the hall. I didn’t need to run into him.

accomplished.

Most people don’t believe me when I tell them the Farmer is 60 years old. He looks much younger than that – but then, 60 is much younger these days.

People don’t really retire –they just switch focus. Today’s pre-seniors spend more time pursuing quality of life – hobbies and activities they enjoy.

After retiring from teaching, my 60-yearOn my first trip into town to pick things up, I ran into him. His eyes followed me as I drove on by. I smiled, waved and gulped.

I should have been at work by then and he knew it.

I sent him a text message. “Late for work!

We need to be at the hall by 7:30 for speeches …” I got an “x” in return. I thought he was on to me. The adrenalin was upsetting my stomach.

We were late getting access to the hall and being technologically un-inclined, the set-up of the slideshow took me a lot longer than expected. I needed to get home to whip up the spaghetti I had promised the birthday boy for dinner.

After our meal, “We don’t have to be the first ones there, do we?” he asked. “Uh, no, but I don’t want to miss the speeches,” I reminded him.

When we pulled up to the building, one of my friends was outside, smoking a cigarette.

When she recognized my truck she ran in to assemble everyone. Climbing the steps to the hall, the Farmer says, “Who is this party for, again?”

He is 60. We are both getting forgetful.

My heart was pounding. I had almost succeeded in surprising him. Then he saw the slideshow of our photos on the wall. He stopped and peeked around the corner. I had to pull him into the room.

“Oh no you didn’t,” he said. Everyone jumped out then to surprise him, and I could relax. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The adrenalin rush was a bit much.

I really don’t think I will be doing that again. But I think the Farmer was pleasantly surprised, and a little overwhelmed. Mission

old is working on his new career as a real estate agent. In his spare time he is cattle farming, building a log cabin, cooking Sunday dinners for up to 20 people a week and spending time deep in conversation with his new granddaughter.

Life is looking pretty good at 60. And the age comes with a sexy title. www.dianafisherbooks.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Councillor’s pitch to expand photo radar pilot project rejected at council Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

An attempt by River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington to expand the city’s proposed pilot program for photo radar failed at council on May 11.

Brockington called the plan to petition the province for a pilot project that would place photo radar in some school zones and allow councillors to request speed limits be decreased from 50 kilometres per hour to 40, a watered-down compromise.

A compromise was exactly what Mayor Jim Watson was looking for with the plan, which would also direct revenues from photo radar tickets be placed in a special account to be used solely for road safety initiatives.

“People are concerned about it being a cash grab, or used as a way to finance the budget,” Watson said.

“This way we have a targeted area that we can look at again after the pilot.”

Brockington said limiting the pilot project to school zones, doesn’t really address the isJENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND sue of student safety.

“I have four schools off of Walkley River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington takes questions from reporters about his motion to (Road),” Brockington said. expand a photo radar pilot project on May 11.

“The pilot will be on the residential streets the schools are on, but there isn’t a problem with speeding on those streets.”

By attending this meeting, residents will find out more about the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process and updated serviceability for the Leitrim Development Area.

In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urban envelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33 (dated June 27, 2012).

The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the EA process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address: •

By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments throughout the EA process. All comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

a practical way of respecting the fact that there’s a reluctance to go “whole hog.”

College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he worried about the potential for Brockington’s motion to be a gateway to having photo radar on every street.

“It’s like a bag of potato chips, you say you’re going to have only one and then the whole bag is gone,” he said.

Chiarelli said to change the behaviour of drivers – which is the ultimate goal – the best tool is police presence.

“Seeing someone pulled over is the best way for people on the road to slow down,” he said.

“Not a ticket in the mail four weeks later.”

Chiarelli also said police officers have expertise that you don’t get from a camera. He used the example of an officer detecting alcohol on a driver’s breath, or finding evidence of a major crime in a random traffic stop.

Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, who made a pitch for the project at the transportation committee, said while he’d like to see it expanded, he’d rather the limited version than nothing.

“It’s a good idea to have photo radar everywhere,” he said.

“I am confident the pilot will show the value of enforcing speed where it is set up.”

Watson said there’s no money in the city’s coffers to put photo radar on every street.

Even though council approved the original motion for a limited to school zones application of photo radar, ultimately it is up to the province as the city needs provincial approval to be allowed to utilize photo radar in a pilot project.

Crime Stoppers teams up with coalition to smoke out illegal cigarettes Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

One out of every three cigarettes smoked in the province are contraband, says Gary Grant, spokesperson for the National Coalition Against Contraband Tobacco.

“Most people think it’s a victimless crime, that it’s small operators, but there are 175 organized gangs involved,” Grant said. “These gangs are also involved in the sale of weapons and human trafficking.”

Grant said aside from enforcement, awareness is key to dealing with the problem.

The coalition has teamed up with the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers during National Police Week.

The week was set to kick off on May 16 with an event in Hintonburg, said Richard McMullen.

“We are pleased to develop this partnership with the coalition,” McMullen said.

“We are engaging the public to get them to be on the lookout for information that solve or resolve crimes, getting them to call our iconic 1-800-222-TIPS.” The illegal cigarette trade funds criminal activity in the capital, McMullen said, adding advertisements detailing the connection

between illegal smokes and gangs are up in select locations across the city, including at Parliament Hill, Ottawa police headquarters and near the offices of local MPPs Yasir Naqvi and Madeline Meilleur.

Grant said the problem is so pervasive in Ontario partly because of the proximity to the big manufacturing centres in Akwesasne, near Cornwall, Ont., and Kahnawake, near Montreal, Que. He said those two sites are the epicentre of activity, and because so much of the province’s population lives in the southern part of the province near the border access to illegal cigarettes is readily available.

Grant said one of the problems is that kids are smoking illegal cigarettes as well.

“A study of cigarette butts in front of high schools showed that a third of them were contraband,” he said. “Which is a problem, because these kids shouldn’t be smoking at all, but people selling contraband don’t ask for ID. A kid can get a bag of 200 cigarettes for the price of a movie ticket.”

Gangs selling the smokes are violent and dangerous, Grant said, adding the RCMP had to warn snowmobilers in Cornwall last winter because smugglers would hide their loot in booby traps along the trails.

Their plush coat of hairs does more than add good looks; it is a deterrent to most birds.

But like all living things, Tent Caterpillars are not without problems. Parasitic flies and wasps (better known as parasitoids) lay their eggs on the caterpillars. After hatching, the larval aliens devour their hosts while they are still alive.

One parasitoid tracks down the caterpillars by following the scent of their silk trails.

And one local bird loves a meal of Tent Caterpillars. Black-billed Cuckoos not only devour the caterpillars but also their tents. They can do so because the silk and caterpillar hairs are removed inside their crop and coughed out as hairballs.

Although Eastern Tent Caterpillars might seem destructive, trees usually survive their feeding efforts. And while the caterpillars’ silk tents might seem unsightly, they are fascinating structures built by most remarkable animals.

Mental Health Partnerships Benefitting Patients Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) has one of the highest rates of patients with mental health issues who return to the Emergency Department within 30 days of their initial visits within the Champlain LHIN. Some of the mental health issues seen at ARH include depression, anxiety, substance abuse and schizophrenia.

A busy emergency room where there is a lot of noise and chaos is typically not the right place to provide the right care to those who have anxiety or dependency issues. Regardless of the health issue; ARH defines quality care as doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person – and having the best possible outcome. The clinicians at ARH wanted to patients with mental health issues a more appropriate experience by connecting the patient with the right care provider when it mattered most. This need resulted in a formalized partnership with Renfrew County Mental Health and with Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services.

These partnerships allow emergency department staff to contact the appropriate agency depending on the mental health issues affecting that patient. Often times a patient in distress comes to the hospital as a last resort.

“Arnprior Regional Health, Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services and Renfrew County Mental Health deserve recognition for working together and putting in place a new model of care to serve clients better,” said Chantale LeClerc, CEO of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). “One of the Champlain LHIN’s key goals is to ensure more people with mental health conditions and addictions have access to services, and this is a great example of how to achieve that. We need more of these types of partnerships to truly build an integrated health system for the patients we serve.”

St. Michael School in Corkery celebrates 50 years Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

St Michael School in Corkery celebrated 50 years as part of the Catholic school board on May 5.

Student ambassadors greeted guests – many of them former students and staff – when they entered the school and accompanied them to St. Michael Church, next to the school, for a morning mass celebration.

Following the service, guests were treated to a dance performance, as well as select scenes from the school’s Peter Pan musical.

The two drum and dance pieces featured 28 students, while the musical saw 104 students take to the stage.

“Our students are thriving,” said principal Martha Palmer.

The school currently has a population of 340 students.

Students showed off a Venn diagram they created of what’s changed at the school over the years and what’s stayed the same – such

as discipline, transportation and learning materials.

Fifty years ago, “children were hit on the hand with a leather strap when they were bad,” read one listing.

Now, “when students are bad they have to stay in for recess or go to the principal’s office.”

Students also had to walk to school 50 years ago, while nowadays school buses are used.

Another difference is the amount of technology available.

Fifty years ago blackboards were the primary teaching tool; now the school is outfitted with all the latest technology, including smart boards, iPads, chromebooks and other tools.

The school was originally a one-room schoolhouse built in 1919 by the surrounding community, said Palmer.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND The school merged with two other school- A St. Michael’s Corkery student shows school trustee John Curry a Venn diagram on what’s houses from the area 50 years ago – becom- changed at the school over the years and what’s stayed the same – such as discipline, ing St. Michael Catholic School – and two transportation, and learning materials. For more photographs, see pages 21 and 22. more classrooms were added to the building.

Over the years the school has received a number of additions; the largest in 1996 when a 7,000-square-foot extension was built. Now, the school not only serves as a

Second annual Resting Paws Road Rally raised more than $1,300 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The second annual Resting Paws Road Rally raised more than $1,300 for four animal rescues on May 14.

The team of Lorrie and Doug Newman, racing for the Ferret Rescue Society of Ottawa, finished in first place against 11 other teams. The Woodlawn duo won $550 for their charity of choice.

In second place were Nepean’s Dev Kohli and Tracey Latimer with Sit With Me Dog Rescue. Their charity took home $375.

Woodlawn’s Mary and Rick McNeill, with the Pet Resource Bank of Ottawa, won third place and $275 for their charity.

Ottawa’s Stray Cat Rescue took home the $100 proceeds from the barbecue.

Organizers and owners of Resting Paws Cemetery and Crematorium Patrick and Sabine Couture said they were pleased with the turnout for the second annual event, even though the funds raised were a few dollars short of last year’s event (it brought in $1,600).

“This year we have winners in four different rescues – ferrets, dogs, all pets and cats,” said Sabine. “We couldn’t be happier.”

It took the 12 teams about four hours to complete the seven challenges spaced throughout West Carleton. The fastest team, the McNeills, finished the rally in two-and-a-half hours.

Mayor’s Report

NCC AND THE CITY By: Mayor Jim Watson

I have long been an advocate for reform at the National Capital Commission (NCC). Since being elected Mayor in 2010 it has become more apparent to me that change is required or else risk hindering the progress of our great city. Until recently, most of the NCC’s board members were neither from the National Capital Region nor chosen by its residents, and that should not be the case.

As a first step, in 2014, Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin and I wrote the federal government to make the case for better municipal representation on the National Capital Commission (NCC).

On April 11, 2016, we signed the Declaration which welcomed the Mayor of our respective Councils, to participate as non-voting members on the NCC Board of Directors. I was delighted to be able to bring my voice to the table, and it is my hope that this change will lead to stronger federal-municipal collaboration towards our common goal of building an even better national capital region.

West Carleton 4H Press Reporter

The West Carleton 4-H community club held their second meeting on Tuesday, May 10 at the MacGowan Tree Farm in Galetta.

In manageable groups, the members visited six different stations all around their beautiful landscape where they learned about their unique type of farming and other relatable topics.

Members learned all about the coniferous trees, their maintenance and pests. Participants also learned how to make Christmas wreaths from the farm grown trees, and how to judge the trees in the field to select the perfect Christmas tree.

The meeting was a great success, as everyone learned something new about tree farming and agriculture.

The 4-H club’s next meeting will LAURYN ROCHON-KAISER/SUBMITTED be held Tuesday, May 24 at Domin- Members of the West Carleton 4-H Club learn how to make Christmas ion Springs Farm in Pakenham. wreaths.

On April 28, we attended our first Board meeting, during which the Board voted on the LeBreton Flats proposal. The highest ranked bid was revealed and it was selected by unanimous decision.

IllumiNATION LeBreton, by the Rendezvous Lebreton Group, was chosen. RendezVous Lebreton will feature an impressive Events Centre, which will also be the new home of the Ottawa Senators.

It will also include a large residential component with affordable housing, four-season accessible public spaces as well as commercial, office and retail spaces.

The proposal offers important community benefits, while maintaining historical features and our strong culture. RendezVous Lebreton will be accessible by two LRT stations, Bayview and Pimisi, and promotes connectivity with its surrounding, including the City of Gatineau.

The City of Ottawa is very pleased to work with the National Capital Commission on this very exciting development. My recent appointment to the NCC Board of Directors will facilitate a crucial partnership which will this monumental project become an iconic staple in the City of Ottawa.

Ottawa resident bilked of $10K in re-emerging scam Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A scam in which residents are being threatened with arrest is making the rounds again, this time in Ottawa.

One Ottawa resident was bilked of almost $10,000 in recent weeks in this way, said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

“It’s been seen in the past. It’s just that it’s more prevalent, that we’ve had more complaints,” he said of this particular scam.

As a result, the Ottawa police organized fraud unit has issued a warning about “an emerging mass marketing scam/extortion” in which fraudsters are telephoning residents and threatening to arrest them and their families.

“Messages have been left for victims to immediately call back a specific phone number or their family would be arrested and prosecuted,” police said in a statement issued May 11.

The callers are actually after personal information, as well as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords, and threaten victims with arrest if they don’t share these details.

“This is also how fraudsters confirm a victim’s identity,” police said.

The callers have impersonated government agencies and lawyers, though there have also been instances in which they don’t provide a name.

Some scammers have said they are calling on behalf of the Canada Revenue Agency and say, “‘If

you don’t come up with the money, there’s people on the way to your house to arrest you,’” Soucy said.

Faced with such a threat, victims have offered to provide their credit card information, but the fraudsters insist they instead go to a store and purchase iTunes cards worth thousands of dollars.

“Then they’ll stay on your cellphone with you (while you buy the cards) and then they get the pin number on the back of the card and cash them out,” Soucy said, adding there is no way to recoup the money once the pin is shared.

Fraud officers are urging residents to be wary of callers asking for personal and banking information. Agencies such as the Canada Revenue Agency will not call you to ask for payment in this way, or

Ottawa Police reminds all road users to share the road As Ottawa roadways are seeing more cycling traffic with the warmer weather, the Ottawa Police and its Safer Roads Ottawa partners remind all road users to be aware of cyclists and share the road.

Between May 1 and May 12, there were 16 collisions involving cyclists in Ottawa. That trend is showing no signs of abating as a cyclist was severely injured in a crash with a garbage truck Tuesday morning on Kanata Avenue. The debate over how cyclists and motor vehicles should co-exist has been especially heated in West Carleton.

To increase the safety of cyclists, police advise road users to: • Treat bicycles as you would any other vehicle on the road. Cyclists generally ride in the right-most through traffic lane, about one meter from the curb or parked cars.

• When passing a cyclist, leave a safe distance between your car and the bicycle. Give extra passing distance during slippery road conditions.

• Pass at a moderate speed and give plenty of space on quiet roads.

• Shoulder check and signal all lane changes and turns.

• Check for bicycles in your side view mirror before opening your car doors.

Cycling enforcement was the focus of April’s Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).

For everyone’s safety, cyclists are reminded to follow the rules of the road that apply to them under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and the Ottawa Traffic and Parking Bylaw. These include: • Stop at all stop signs and red lights.

• Use proper hand signalling when turning and stopping.

• Recognize and be mindful of the blind spots around cars, trucks and buses.

• Cycle on the right side of the road.

• Ride only in the designated direction on one-way streets.

• Do not drive on the sidewalk.

• Wear a helmet (required if under 18 years of age).

• Have a bell or horn on your bike.

• Be bright at night. Use a headlight, taillight, reflectors and light-coloured or retroreflective clothing so drivers can see you.

• Share the road with other users.

• Signal all lane changes, turns and stops.

threaten arrest, Soucy advised, adding that because it’s tax time right now these callers are trying to prey on people.

The scammers may also attempt to represent telephone, cable, gas or hydro companies, he said.

Soucy advises anyone who receives such a threatening call to do their homework and check into the caller’s identity by first searching online for the agency’s real telephone number and then calling

Cyclists have road rights too

to verify the claims that money is owed. “If they threaten to arrest you, it’s a scam,” said Soucy.

Victims are urged to report suspicious calls or that they have been bilked of their money by calling the Ottawa police call centre by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 7300, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

School board prepares for influx of students, despite budget pressures Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Proposed job cuts won’t hinder the public school board’s ability to handle the influx of Syrian refugees starting in the 2016-2017 school year, says board chair Shirley Seward.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board was faced with a budget shortfall at the beginning of their annual budgeting process that amounted to $14.4 million.

The first phase of cuts, which dealt with in house programming, led to increased fees for before and after school child care and a change in French instruction for primary grades. There were also some changes to the learning disabilities program. Those changes generated $5.1 million.

In March, the board approved a series of job cuts that saved another $3.9 million. Which means there’s still a $5.4 million shortfall. The staff report says the budget is part of a three-year effort to get spending more aligned with funding levels from the Ministry of Education.

The last round of cuts will mean a loss of five non-unionized administrative positions for a total savings of $680,000.

A rejigging of learning

support services will include the increase of two full-time equivalent speech and language pathologists to support the 50:50 English and French kindergarten program. Another two full-time educational assistants will be added to support the new kindergarten program.

The cuts will include the reduction of three educational assistants, the loss of almost the equivalent of one full-time social worker, the loss of a psychologist and a general reduction of 13 full-time educational assistant positions.

There will also be a decrease of five full-time positions, but the report says six new custodial positions will be added.

The job cuts are just the latest in a slew of planned cuts for next year’s budget. The board approved cutting 73 positions in March.

Nancy Akehurst, the president of the education support bargaining unit of the Ottawa Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, said that support staff is already cut to the bone.

“These cuts will have a huge impact on the students and the community,” she said.

Akehurst said that while the numbers don’t seem that bad, the changes could be more widespread based on the nature of the employees.

“A cut of 22.5 full-time

equivalent positions could mean as many as 75 members are changing positions,” she said, adding some staff are part-time, or cover off more than one position and split their hours.

And it’s not just social workers and education assistants Akehurst is worried about. She said that cuts to office administration positions will have an impact as well.

She expressed concern about staff being moved around to accommodate the cuts and support new students.

Despite the influx of refugees to the city, staff recommended cutting four ESL staff in March.

Akehurst said that the new students will have a slate of needs that will require the work of psychologists and social workers, but those are among the positions being cut.

Donna Blackburn, the trustee who represents parts of Nepean and Barrhaven, said that the board will still be able to give students a good education.

Despite this, she said some of the cuts could have been avoided. “For instance, when we threw out the staff recommendation about the before and after care … had we gone with the staff recommendation we would have

had $400,000 more in revenue from the before and after care program.

“So when you take $400,000 you translate that into what we’re looking at, that’s eight educational assistants.”

But Seward said the board has the option of rehiring those positions if they find they can’t meet demand once the new students start.

She also said staff have built in an extra 100 students into estimates.

“I am confident we are prepared,” she said.

When asked if the influx of students may cause some of the smaller schools to reach capacity, Seward said staff would start a city-wide process of looking at boundaries and student populations.

Formerly known as the accommodation review committee, the process aims to deal with overpopulation in some areas and under-utilized schools in other areas.

The province recently changed the guidelines – and called them pupil accommodation review guidelines.

Seward encouraged the public to come to the board meetings on May 30 and June 6, so that they canhave their say on the budget.

“We will plan for two days, but may increase that if there’s need,” she said.

Frustration grows over lack of public high school in Stittsville Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Stittsville Coun.

Shad Qadri didn’t get what he wanted for his community after a recent provincial funding announcement left Stittsville empty-handed.

A May 5 provincial press release announced $137 million in funding to build and renovate schools – but there was nothing for Ottawa’s west end included in that tally.

The English public board’s top-ranked priority last year, an addition at West Carleton Secondary School, received funding last

year. It means the No. 1 spot on the list now belongs to the previously second-ranked Stittsville secondary school.

“The priorities seem to keep changing, and ours continue to be left behind,” Qadri said.

“I hope that this year, let’s at least get some commitment from the province and the school board.”

Lynn Scott, the school board trustee for Stittsville and West Carleton, said the province has not requested an updated priorities list from the English public board since West Carleton’s addition was funded.

At a school board

committee meeting on May 17, staff will present a report that recommends keeping the Stittsville secondary school in the No. 1 slot as it is now.

“I certainly will be arguing in favour of this,” Scott said. “We have waited for this for a very long time. We actually very much need a high school in Stittsville now.”

Both Scott and Qadri said the community is growing, and will continue to grow, adding to the need for a new school.

When the province funds new schools or renovations, it looks at the business case and

priorities list submitted by the school board.

Qadri said he’s been talking with MPPs because he needs support at the provincial level.

He said the Stittsvillearea MPP, Jack MacLaren, “has done very little for us.”

“We’re going to have to keep telling the province that we really need this high school,” Scott said. “The community is going to have to speak loudly and strongly on this.”

MacLaren said the issue is the Liberal government overspending on “wasteful projects” and the holdup is caused by a lack of funding.

When asked if he had spoken with anyone at the province about the school funding, he said, “nobody talked to me about it, so it’s certainly time to step up and put pressure on the government.” He said “certainly we’re going to do more from my office.”

Students in Stittsville are allowed to go to the Catholic high school, but many choose to bus to South Carleton.

Scott said students are transported about 10 to 15 kilometres outside their community to go to South Carleton.

“We just have to keep fighting for this,” she said.

Digestion….something we don’t like to talk about is something so revealing, intriguing and potentially challenging, we all have to deal with at one point or another in our lifetime. If we talk about digestion, we commonly refer to our physical digestion of food, which can involve challenges like heartburn or acid reflux, bloating, gas and indigestion, gastric ulcers with burning and pain, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, colitis, crohn’s and more. Now, it would be easy, if food would be the only culprit to change in order to heal our digestive system again. But unfortunately it’s not that easy. Many people take over the counter or prescription drugs to keep the symptoms at bay. Some with success, others are able to reduce their symptoms, but many have reached a point where nothing works. That’s where our Heilkunst treatment comes to the rescue.

Our digestive process is one of the most interconnected systems within our body. Many organs are involved, all of which intertwined in the process of breaking down an external substance - our food - into something that our body can absorb and benefit from internally - actually something that keeps us alive and thriving. But digestion has also another side - an emotional side. We “digest” ideas and feelings. The “digestion” of stress in our day and age is one of the most challenging ones many people are faced with.

Have you ever wondered why you can’t stop your heartburn by just changing your eating habits? Why you suffer from chronic constipation? Why you are prone to recurrent ulcers? Or why you are sentenced with crohn’s or colitis? Nothing is fair in life. And if you just have a little hope left, give yourself a nudge and try our treatment. Healing digestive issues has become one of my specialties over the last decade.

As part of our Heilkunst treatment, we will investigate and reveal the true cause of your condition by looking at your hereditary influences, life style habits, nutritional deficiencies, toxic levels, stresses, upsets and traumas, as well as mental and emotional challenges and if needed your blood in form of our Live Blood Analysis.

Testimonials “After decades of prescription drugs and three surgeries for my chronic acid reflux, Heilkunst has cured me. It’s been a wonderful journey.Thanks Manuela” PS,Arizona “My husband was on twelve pills a day -seemingly for the rest of his life- just to control his ulcerative colitis, never mind curing it. After about one and a half years of Heilkunst treatment he was off all drugs and never had another attack again. That was about eight years ago.” MC, Arnprior

The Carp Tennis Club had a successful open house event on May 14 before steady rain shut the festivities down a tad early.

The courts saw steady action for about four hours while the barbecue ran for half that time before the wet weather ended the event.

Golfers to drive for heart institute Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

There are plenty of charity golf tournaments, but few are more apt than Arnprior’s latest.

Golf is about fun, comradeship, and exercise. All great stuff for your heart. Which is why organizers of the new The Valley Has Heart golf tournament knew if they were going to raise money for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, they were going to do at the Sand Point Golf Course.

“We know there are a lot of charit golf tournaments this time of year,” said Ed Reid, chairman of the newly formed organization. “This is ideal for the heart institute. We want it to be a model for other communities.”

Reid and all members of the group’s executive have experienced a heart attack or other cardiac-related illness. Most received help from the heart institute, too. During Reid’s stay 18 months ago there were six people on the floor from the Valley; three he knew personally.

“There’s only so much money people can give. And they want to give to their hospital,” he said. “This is their hospital. The heart institute is an extension of our hospital.”

Getting word to nearby towns comes in part by having county and local municipal councils declare The Valley Has Heart week. Organizers have also reached out to media, appearing on CTV’s Regional Contact on May 11 (http://ottawa.ctvnews. ca/video?clipId=868735} and elsewhere. There is also a website and

Concussions bring NHL player home to Kanata Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Like so many hockey players, competing in the NHL was Darroll Powe’s dream.

Standing just 5-foot-11 and never a “first line guy” by his own admission, Powe made it to pro hockey anyway – a dream come true and born of hard work and a passion for the game.

He had a career playing for the Philadelphia Flyers, the Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers, and some of their American Hockey League farm teams, from 2006 to 2015. But more frequent and worsening concussions shook him awake and out of the dream.

He returned home to Kanata to settle down and work a desk job in February. So far Powe says he doesn’t feel any fallout from the many concussions he sustained, though he notes it may be too early to tell for sure. He admits he has been lucky compared to others.

Asked whether it was worth it, he said unequivocally, “One hundred per cent. I got to live my dream for five, six years. It was an amazing time.

“Would I have done things differently? I don’t know … but I got to have a great experience and I feel OK right now and hopefully that’s the case for the rest of my life. It was an awesome time while it lasted. No complaints.”

Born in Saskatoon, Powe moved to Kanata for high school, attending Earl of March Secondary School and playing for the Kanata Valley Lasers, then the Kanata Stallions when the team was renamed.

A shot at the NHL was something he hoped for but nothing he expected, until it happened.

“It was surreal,” he said. “It was in New Jersey so all the guys I had played with at school, they drove up and watched and it was pretty cool.”

Asked what he thinks got him to the NHL, he says, “I think I just loved it. It never feels like work when you love something … if you don’t love it you are probably not going to do the work you need to make it happen.”

Eventually it was concussions that convinced Powe is was time to leave hockey.

Though he can’t put a number on how many he has had, he says they ranged from a concussion or two in high school – which at the time he probably would have denied – to a recurring and worsening injury that kept him out of commission for months near the end of his career.

He and his young family returned

Retired NHL player Darroll Powe, right, stands with country music superstar Garth Brooks during his Teammates for Kids Foundation ProCamp in Stittsville in early April. to Kanata in February, where he took a job with Freedom 55 Financial as a financial security adviser. Transitioning from professional athlete to desk-jockey is still a bit of a challenge but Powe is enjoying the new challenge, he said.

Asked what advice he might have for young hockey players who harbour the

same dream he did, he said, “Whether it be working out outside the game or playing and losing, you’ve got to see value in everything in the game. Because there are lessons you can take from every game.

“And one of the things I probably didn’t do as well as I could have was just not take everything so seriously … it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun.”

One of his important takeaways was giving back, he said, which he sought to do frequently. He had the opportunity to continue doing as a guest coach at Garth Brooks’s Teammates for Kids Foundation ProCamp in Stittsville in early April.

“One of the most rewarding things about playing was the fact that you could walk into a room and you know change 20 kids’ lives just by showing up and reading a book or something like that,” said Powe. “So it’s a pretty cool feeling to do that.”

As for his concussions, Powe said injury is a reality of any physical sport, especially at an elite level. While the NHL and other levels of hockey continue to improve their response to it, the most pressure comes from within, he said. The bottom line is you have to be honest with yourself and feel ready to get back out on the ice. “Make sure you take care of yourself first because if you don’t take care of yourself, it’s not going to work out for you on the ice anyways,” said Powe.

More Bad Policy Last week, the Hon. Glen Murray, Minister for Environment and Climate Change, confirmed his plan to eliminate natural gas as a fuel in Ontario. Industry officials estimate that switching homes from natural gas to electric heat will cost each Ontario household $3,000 more each year. Approximately 62% of Ontario homes use natural gas for heating.

During Question Period, Murray suggested “in Toronto, where I live, my building and others in my neighbourhood don’t need to be running on natural gas.” The Minister also stated that “home heating in the future is going to have to come from sources other than natural gas.” I completely disagree with this outrageous idea to eliminate natural gas as a fuel in Ontario.

Natural gas is an affordable and clean fuel, and Ontarians need it. Natural gas is a solution, not a problem.

Olympic equestrian hopefuls to compete in Ottawa Dressage Festival Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

It takes place on a longweekend, it promises horses and dogs, it’s free to attend.

And this year, the Ottawa Dressage Festival will feature some of Canada’s top dressage riders as they compete to represent Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Dressage is an equestrian sport that puts horses and riders through their paces as they perform a series of dance-like movements testing the rider’s control of the horse before a panel of judges. It became an Olympic sport in 1912.

This year, the annual festival’s judges will come from across Canada, Great Britain and Germany to judge riders from Canada, the United States and Central America at Wesley Clover Parks – formerly the national capital equestrian park – on Corkstown Road from May 19 to 22.

“The whole show atmosphere I find really exciting,” said long-time organizer Paul Teeple.

“And it’s even more exciting this year when all those people are here.”

As well as a chance to earn qualifying scores for the Summer Games, competi-

tors can potentially qualify for other international and national dressage championships. In total, 150 riders are expected to compete over four days.

Teeple has managed the show since National Capital Dressage was founded in 2003 to organize it, although he said high-level dressage competitions have been synonymous with the Nepean venue for decades.

“There’s been that level of show there, either a high level national one or an international one, for at least 25 years,” he said. “A long time.”

On average, Teeple said, the festival attracts between 300 and 500 people per day, though some individual events, like the May 19 Grand Prix Olympic qualifier, can attract those numbers alone.

Since this year’s festival is the second-last – and the largest – Olympic qualifying competition in eastern Ontario, Teeple said that its grand prix event will likely decide which two Canadian riders will go to the Olympics.

“The Canadian (riders) are all bunched up at the top,” he said.

“The top six are so close in scores that it’s going to

be decided probably at this show.”

Teeple said that even if the deciding test takes place at the June 17 festival in Cedar Valley, Ont. it’s very likely that the riders who represent Canada in Brazil will have competed in Ottawa’s festival.

“Somebody at this show is going to the Olympics,” he said, listing Olympic veterans Belinda Trussell, Jacqueline Brooks, Brittany Fraser and Ashley Holzer, and 2015 Pan Am athletes Chris Von Martels and Megan Lane as the riders to watch.

With dressage events spread out over four days, festival organizers also plan to entertain crowds with dog agility demonstrations and equestrian equipment and apparel vendors.

According to Teeple, the festival’s team of 60 Ottawaarea volunteers are the key to helping it all run smoothly, and retired RCMP superintendent George Kaine is at the head of that team.

Having learned horseback riding as part of his basic training, Kaine, 73, credits his love of riding, his interest in volunteer work, and his friendship with Teeple for drawing him to National Capital Dressage in 2003.

He has been a volunteer ever

“Paul and I are friends and we ride together and I just sort of fell into it,” said Kaine, who lives in Orléans.

“I enjoy volunteering, so this was another volunteer activity. It’s only once a year and I like horses and enjoy seeing the performances.”

Kaine manages volunteers of diverse ages and back-

grounds who, among other things, provide stable security for international horses, record judges’ observations about riders, and run results from the ring to the show office where they are read by an announcer.

“They come from all walks of life,” Kaine said.

Save on golf, support the food bank The Greensmere Golf and Country Club is offering a deal this month that is helping the West Carleton Food Access Centre.

Anyone bringing in a food donation to the Carp area golf course until May 31 will receive 50 per cent off the regular price of a power cart rental.

steady increase the West Carleton food bank is feeling from families requesting assistance. Greensmere, which is located at 1717 Bearhill Rd., has set up a basket for food donations and a cash donation box in the Pro Shop.

It notes specific needs are canned fruit, stew, salmon, tomatoes and pasta sauce, cereal, pudding cups, and pasta.

For more information on the food bank, the West Carleton Food Access Centre can be contacted by phone at 613832-5685, through email at wsfoodaid@ gmail.com or by visiting its Facebook page.

WENDY MAYEW/SUBMITTED

Local wrestler Leah Sheeler, right, competes at the Provincial Youth Festival where she won a silver medal.

Local girls do well at provincial wrestling tourney On May 21, members of the Arnprior junior wrestling team coached

by Fitzroy’s Kevin Mayhew travelled to Baltimore, Ontario for the Provincial Youth Festival.

It was one of the largest turnouts of wrestlers and teams in the last couple of years. The teams came from Thunder Bay, Windsor and many towns in-between.

All wrestlers were treated to memorable opening ceremonies by members of an Ojibway band and included songs done to the beat of a drum and a traditional Hoop Dance.

April Toupin in the Novice age group placed first. She has been training hard since her last meet, but unfortunately there wasn’t anyone for her to wrestle.

But she was there to help warm up her teammates and watching matches proofed very beneficial.

Skyla Bonell, also in the novice age group, placed second. Being only her second tournament, she wrestled very well using moves that some of

her opponents did not know.

Skyla only lost one match and that was to another girl who had more experience.

Emily Toupin in the Kids age group placed fourth. Emily, in her first year, of wrestling competed against others who have been wrestling for two or more years and despite doing even better than her last meet, lost by points in her matches.

Leah Sheeler in the Bantam age group placed second and wrestled the best she has done yet, this being her first year.

Each of the three in her weight won a match. The medals had to be figured out by looking at times, points and several types of criteria to determine the medals.

Up next for the girls was a trip to St. Cesaire for the Canada East Wrestling Festival on May 13. The tournament had wrestlers from Ontario to Newfoundland competing for two days.

This was the last tournament of the season for the girls.

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

About 18 months ago I left a steady job to work at a new company where I was promised at least three more years of work. This would have brought me to age 60 when I want to retire. My boss has now told me that I’m going to be let go next month. I’m pretty sure this is being done because of my age. I only left my previous job because I was guaranteed work until age 60. I don’t want to retire early and I want to take legal action.

An employee’s rights in such a situation often depend on whether a written contract was ever signed and what evidence is available that age discrimination has occurred. Even for a relatively short term contract the written terms of the agreement are important. Employers are typically very careful before guaranteeing employment for a specific period of time so employment contracts are usually made to be indefinite which means they can terminated with reasonable notice. Fixed term contracts can result in an employer having to pay a significant amount of compensation to end a contract early which could be the result in your case.

About William Parker

Bill Parker provides civil litigation and employment law advice to individuals, small businesses, and non-profits. Bill’s employment practice includes advising both employees and employers on contracts, disability insurance policies, and employment standards legislation. Bill’s litigation practice includes work on breach of contract, construction, and shareholder disputes. Bill was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2009.

However, if the employer made a verbal guarantee of employment, but this guarantee is not found in the written employment agreement it is much harder to argue that there was in fact a guarantee to employment for a certain period of time.

It is discriminatory under the Ontario Human Rights Code to dismiss an employee due to their age. The difficulty is proving that a dismissal occurred due to an employee’s age as opposed to a legitimate business purpose. Because of the uncertainties involved in the type of claims you are describing the best first step is to consult with a lawyer and have them review your contract.

Huntley Centennial Public School honoured three popular and long-time teachers who will be retiring at the end of this school year at its annual Arts Festival, held May 6.

Donna Christie, Marg Graff and Castel Eveillard, who have been teaching at Huntley for a combined 47 years, were thanked for their long-time service.

“I am here to recognize and thank three pillars of the Huntley staff who are retiring next month,” said school council chair JoAnne Graham.

“On behalf of the Huntley community, we all want to say thank you so much to all three of you for all you

From left, teachers Marg Graff, Castel Eveillard and Donna Christie are recognized for their years of service during Huntley's Arts Festival on May 6. The three popular staff members will be retiring this year. have done for our children and all the best for years of health and happiness in your retirement.”

DONNA CHRISTIE

Christie has been teaching at the Carp school for 10 years, although her history with the school stretches

back even further, said Graham. Christie’s daughters attended Huntley Centennial and her husband was the first chair of the parent council.

An avid gardener, Christie ran the school’s garden club and “kept the outside of our school looking beautiful,” said Graham.

Christie is also a big supporter of the arts and orchestrates the Arts Festival. She’s also responsible for bringing in many outside artists, dancers and other performers “to enhance our children’s education,” said Graham. “We are so appreciative of all that she has done for our Huntley community.”

Graff has been a staple at the school for 12 years, sharing her love of all things arts and performance-related.

She has been “an arts specialist making drama, dance, visual art and music come alive for our students,” said Graham.

Graff has led the school’s choirs, Soundwave, a drumming circle, as well as leading the many musicals over her years at Huntley. She’s also led many social justice initiatives, such as the school’s Character Crew and the student Leadership Team.

“Marg has convinced hundreds of students to sing and dance and recognize their own talent,” said Graham.

“She has helped all our students to realize the opportunities that exist to make a difference in our local and global economy.”

CASTEL EVEILLARD

Eveillard has been a key educator at Huntley, teaching

French at the Carp school for 25 years.

“He has taught generations of Huntley students both early French Immersion and core French,” said Graham. “His long-standing dedication to all things Huntley gives him a special place in our hearts.”

He can be found every morning in the yard, greeting students as they arrive for their daily lessons, said Graham.

“He always ensures everyone feels welcome at our school … and always enjoys visiting with his students from the past who come back to see him.”

And it’s been thanks to Eveillard that the school always performs so well at the Carp Fair every year.

“Each year he has carefully brought over our children’s entries,” said Graham. “Without Castel we would not have had near the number of entries in the Carp Fair.”

All three teachers were presented with a bundle of special books as a thank you for their time served.

Host a Lemonade Stand Make a Difference!

On Saturday, June 4th hundreds of local kids will be helping to paint the town yellow.

desserts including chocolate cupcakes and cake pops – all decorated with a splash of yellow.

They’ll be taking part in the 4th annual Lemonade Standemonium. It’s a fundraiser where kids host lemonade stands in their community and raise awareness and funds for local cancer care.

“It was very heartfelt to have so many friends, family and neighbours stopping by to support our lemonade stand – it created a real sense of community and was very empowering for our kids to feel they were making a difference,” explains Fraser.

For Emmerson Markwick, 6, and her big brother Daxton, 8, the Lemonade Standemonium has become a beloved annual event. This is the third year that they have participated in honour of all of their family members who have faced a cancer diagnosis, including their 9 year old cousin Bridget, who was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a rare form of kidney cancer, in 2013.

“It was very serious and devastating for our whole family,” explains the kids’ mom, Trina Fraser. “It was important to us to do something to help.

Thankfully, after two battles with cancer, Bridget is now doing really well”.

To help kick-start this year’s campaign, Daxton and Emmerson hosted their lemonade stand a little early. Along with fresh regular and cranberry/raspberry lemonade, they treated passers-by to yummy PROCEEDS BENEFIT

Over the last three years more than 1,000 stands have registered in the Lemonade Standemonium from right across the region including Orleans, Barrhaven, Kanata, Metcalfe, Manotick, Carp, Stittsville, Calabogie, Renfrew and Kemptville. Through their efforts, the kids have raised more than $190,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Thanks to the generosity of Cardel Homes, Palladium Insurance and Accora Village, 100% of the funds raised at each stand have been put to work supporting local cancer research and Cancer Coaching.

You can register your stand today at www.ottawacancer.ca/lemonade or contact 613.247.3527.

Together we are putting the squeeze on cancer!

and were known all over the area where they performed widely.

She learned to play the fiddle with coaching and encouragement from her ‘Grandpa Buck’, and by the age of 14 years, her unique style incorporating simultaneous fiddling and step dancing was garnering her awards like the National Talent Competition of the Canadian Country Music Awards.

Thompson has performed live across Canada and the United States in countless special events including the Rita MacNeil Show, Tommy Hunter Show, Nova Scotia, Thunder Bay and Huronia Symphonies, the Boston Musicfest, Almonte Celtfest, and too many more to mention.

She has recorded two critically acclaimed albums, widely aired across the globe.

One of her favourite memories is of headlining on Parliament Hill for Canada Day celebrations.

With more than 35 years of fiddling experience, Thompson has influenced and continues to teach hundreds of students, investing in them a love for music of a variety of fiddling styles.

Her vast experience now serves her well in her role as a music judge at various Open Fiddle and Stepdance Competitions in Ontario.

Her passion comes from her soul. While she loves performing for appreciative audiences and enjoys the spotlight, she is quietly and deeply rooted to her Celtic heritage.

She describes her ambition to leave a legacy of love for fiddling and step dancing that will live on well past the glitz and the lights of stage performances, enduring in the hearts of young people long into the future.

She always counsels her students to ‘just be natural and be in the mo-

ment’ since she truly strives to be honest and authentic in her own performances, and believes that this accounts for the extraordinary energy she expresses while playing.

As a tribute to the enduring influence of the fiddle and its music on Canadian culture and identity, Parliament enacted National Fiddling Day, to take place this year this Saturday, May 21.

Thompson notes that the focus of this event ‘needs to be not so much on the performances, but more on the Celtic heritage’ it honours, the traditions and culture of many Canadian settlers who helped to build Canada.

In her own way that is exactly why Thompson fiddles, why she continues to teach young and older alike, and why she agreed to promote Almonte Celtfest 2016 as fiddler-in-residence.

This year is Almonte Celtfest’s 20th celebration of traditional Celtic music and dance to be held July 8-10 in the natural amphitheatre of Gemmill Park in Almonte.

The popular three-day festival, includes Friday Pub Night in the Park, and Celtic entertainment Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. and Sunday noon to 6 p.m.

Free parking and bike racks are available; bring your lawn chairs, water bottles (refill stations available on site) and sunscreen, and be prepared to clap, sing and dance to performers of local, regional and national acclaim. No pets or outside alcohol allowed on site.

Admission at the gate is by donation, so bring your family and friends to this outstanding musical event.

Need to enhance your BALCONY? Would you love to be able to step out your door and find yourself instantly surrounded

by Mother Nature?

Let your imagination run wild when you choose plant pots; just make sure they all have drainage holes.

When orga nized properly, even the smallest of balconies can be transformed into an oasis of beautiful greenery where you can relax all summer long.

If necessary, drill some in the bottoms of those that don’t.

A few pots, soil, a trowel, plants and a bit of fertilizer: that’s all you need to create your own little corner of paradise.

Choose plants that will feel right at home, taking into account how many hours of sunshine your balcony receives.

A few pots, some soil, a trowel, plants and a bit of fer- Most flowers, herbs and vegtilizer is all you need to create a little balcony garden. etables need plenty of sun, but you’ll soon discover that garden centres stock gorgeous varieties of plants that thrive best in the shade.

How to create CURB APPEAL

“Homebuyers tend to use the exterior of a home and its yard as a gauge on what the inside looks like,” says Patricia Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “First impressions are critical to capture the attention of homebuyers and send the message that the home has been well cared for, inside and out.”

To ensure your home stands out and gets noticed for the right reasons this fall, Verge recommends taking care of these simple steps before listing: • Cut: Make sure trees and bushes are neatly trimmed.

• Clear: Remove leaves and sticks from gutters. Make sure the lawn is mowed, leaves are raked and weeds are removed.

• Clean: Wash windows, pressure-wash dirty siding and decks, and kill mould and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof and driveway.

• Paint: If you can’t afford to do the whole house, a fresh coat of paint will transform your front door and provide a more welcoming entrance. More information is available at www.wedothehomework.ca.

Home Improvements • Kitchen and bath upgrades • Drywall and taping • Painting • Plumbing and electrical • Flooring, all types • Window and door replacements • Attic insulation upgrades

One well-stocked planter placed in just the right spot can enhance your balcony, but lots of different plants and pots will result in a much more interesting look.

Make use of every nook and cranny.

Diversify colours and heights, and use a mix of flowering and foliage plants.

Once you’ve set things up, enjoying your flowering balcony all summer long is going to be simple: just remember to water, remove dead flowers as they wilt and fertilize your plants regularly.

Mayor Jim Watson and Coun. Eli El-Chantiry were joined by Nortrax management to open up the new facility on May 5.

Nortrax opens new facility Facility to sell John Deere; includes a 12-bay service centre Nortrax celebrated the grand opening May 5 of its new state-of-the-art facility in Ottawa near West Carleton.

The company’s new flagship location is at 190 David Manchester Rd. near the junction of Highways 7 and 417 southeast of West Carleton. It will serve the construction, forestry, and quarry business in eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

The new 33,000-squarefoot facility includes a 12bay service centre, designed to easily accommodate the larger production-class equipment offered by John Deere.

In addition to an expanded parts warehouse, product support and a technology showroom, the building is designed to be expandable for future growth. In fact, the build-

ing design is the first in a series of similar facilities Nortrax will be constructing in North America.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Ward 5 Coun. Eli El-Chantiry were on hand for the ribbon-cutting and were joined by senior John Deere/Nortrax officials.

“I am delighted to be part of this official opening, alongside Coun. ElChantiry,” said Watson.

“The opening of this new facility is a clear indication that Ottawa continues to be a great place to do business and that our city continues to benefit from both new construction and infrastructure renewal.”

Nortrax Canada vicepresident Michael J. Rugeroni said, “with branch locations across Eastern Canada, Nortrax covers a large geographic area and Ottawa is a critical part of our footprint. We’re investing heavily in Ottawa to position ourselves to better meet the needs of our customers in this key market.

“While offering new

products and technology to our customers, we believe it’s also important to provide our employees with the tools, facilities and training to perform at their best. Our excellent team led

by Ottawa Nortrax general manager, Luke Sheppard, is laying the foundation for future growth and success.”

“We’re very excited about our prospects in Ottawa,” said Sheppard. “Our new home will bolster our sales, service, and parts programs as we strive to provide the outstanding service our customers expect. Our entire Ottawa team has been waiting with anticipation to officially unveil our impressive new facility to our customers and to the community.”

Sheppard added with the approach of summer he looks forward to seeing more construction and forestry customers and the general public dropping by to meet the local Nortrax team, tour the new facility and see the new John Deere equipment on display.

Vanilla-spiked danish a tasty treat Fresh strawberry danishes are easy to make using frozen puff pastry. We’ve added cardamom, a classic Scandinavian spice to the glaze.

Serves: 8 Ingredients 2 cups (500 mL) chopped strawberries 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla 1 sheet (225 g) frozen butter puff pastry, thawed 1 egg yolk 1 tbsp (15 mL) water 1/4 cup (50 mL) icing sugar 1 tsp (5 mL) milk Pinch ground cardamom Preparation instructions In medium saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar; cook over medium heat stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved.

Mash with potato masher until just little bits remain. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water until smooth.

Whisk into strawberry mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. Refrigerate until fully cooled, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, unroll puff pastry, leaving on parchment paper, set on baking sheet. Trim to form a 10- x 8-inch (25 x 20 cm) rectangle.

Position pastry with 8-inch (20 cm) side towards you. Starting at bottom right corner of pastry, using a sharp knife, diagonally cut 3-inch (7.5 cm) strips of pastry, about 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide, right to the top of pastry (there might be a tiny triangle of leftover pastry at top, simply discard). Repeat with left side of pastry. Refrigerate pastry on baking sheet while strawberries cool. In small bowl, whisk egg yolk with water; set aside.

Spoon strawberry filling down centre of pastry from top to bottom, it should be about 2-inches (5 cm) wide. Starting with left strip, fold one strip over strawberry filling to cover. Then fold one right strip over to cover strawberry filling and part of the left strip. Continue folding left then right strips, right to the bottom. Pastry should resemble a braid. Brush with egg yolk mixture. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Cool completely before icing.

In medium bowl, whisk icing sugar with milk, remaining vanilla and cardamom. Add a drop or two of milk if glaze is too thick; drizzle over danish. Slice and serve.

Library board approves plan Carp poet tops in National Capital for public engagement writers contest Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Staff

Carp’s Gill Foss has captured the first-place prize for poetry in the 29th annual National Capital Writing Contest.

Foss took home $300 for her poem ‘Green Shift’. She has won several writing awards and earned an honourable mention in last year’s National Capital Writing Contest.

The contest is sponsored by the Canadian Authors Association (National Capital Region).

The winners were announced at an awards night May 9 in the Ottawa Public Library main branch’s auditorium.

The top short story prize was won by well-known Kanata ‘Turtlehead’ blogger Lynn Jatania for ‘What the Chipmunk is Thinking’.

Second Place went to Kanata’s Tony Bove for ‘The Step-Mother’s Story: We Never Called Her Cinderella’ and third to Adrienne Stevenson for ‘Leveller’.

Other top three award winners in the poetry category were Sylvia Adams of Ottawa (second for ‘High School Reunion’) and Helen Gamble of Perth (third for ‘Feeding the Flowers’).

Honourable Mentions in poetry were awarded to Lee Ann Eckhardt Smith of Richmond for ‘Christmas Baking’ and two to Gerry Mooney for ‘A Piece of Scotch Plaid’ and ‘Preparing for Winter’.

Honourable Mentions in the short story category went to Adam Heenan for ‘Benny and Margot Forever’, Josephine Bolechala ‘Mask Island’ and Arlene Somerton Smith for ‘A Stone in the Temple’ Judges were Sheila Martindale (poetry) and Matthew Bin (short story).

“According to the judges, the competition was fierce this year,” said contest co-ordinator Sherrill Wark. “Making it into the top six is an accomplishment.”

Winning entries will be published in Canadian Authors Assocation NCR’s e-magazine, Byline.

The Ottawa Public Library Board approved a plan for public engagement on May 10 over the development of a new main branch in the city’s core.

The city has retained PACE – the same consultant the Ottawa Hospital used for its expansion plans of the Civic campus.

The first round of consultations was scheduled to take to take place on May 16 at city hall.

Library CEO Danielle McDonald said the process was “sufficiently agile” to take staff through the city-building initiative.

“We are continuing to build public trust in the process,” she said.

The May consultations will speak to site criteria.

“We will ask the public what’s important to them,” McDonald said, adding public opinion will be weighted with best practices and expert opinions.

Participants will be given two weeks to fill out a questionnaire following the consultation.

The city has an ongoing call for sites, which is open until this Friday, May 20.

Two consultations will be held in June – one at city hall and one at the Library and Archives Canada, because staff are still doing a dual track process – preparing for a standalone facility and a joint one with Library and Archives Canada.

Library board chairman Tim Tierney said he’s hoping the beginning of the public input period will help allay some of the concerns residents had about a fixed site

process. “I am a visual person, so now we can look ahead to the next marker,” he said.

When asked about the possibility of an international design competition, McDonald said it’s too early to say.

“We want it to have all the programs and services we need and be beautiful and accessible,” she said.

“That’s the objective. But how we get there, we will have to determine that.”

A short list of potential sites will come back to the library board on July 12.

The board will have what McDonald called the decision package – the partnership, financing and project delivery method, including the site – in December and then they’ll make their recommendation to city council.

Marguerite’s show and tell quashed by Emerson and Cecil There was no such thing as ‘show and tell’ at the Northcote School.

There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils.

Once we settled in our seats, our whole day, except for a 15-minute recess, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and, of course, our hour for lunch, we were stuck to our seats like flypaper.

The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’.

With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course. If it wasn’t brand new hair ribbons laying across her Shirley Temple curls like a folded up Renfrew Mercury, it was ankle sox with real lace on the cuffs.

And then one day, just before Miss Crosby came out

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

on the stoop to ring the big brass bell, in rolled Marguerite on a brand new bicycle.

No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman, who came all the way from the Barr Line.

The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell.

And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new bicycle.

It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my

brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard.

My best friends Joyce and Velma and I just stood there like stone.

A new bicycle! Imagine!

We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment.

Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking at it, that

it would be curtains for anyone who laid a hand on it!

Even Miss Crosby’s eyes were like saucers, but, of course, she said nothing, ever careful not to show favouritism to any one pupil.

Marguirite asked, during the morning, if she could go to the windowsill and sharpen her pencil.

We knew perfectly well there wasn’t a thing wrong with her pencil.

What she wanted to do was take a peek outside to have a look at her bicycle!

All went well into the day.

Morning recess passed. No one mentioned the new bicycle.

Our lunch was eaten outside, and still no one talked about the bicycle.

Marguirite was plenty annoyed, you could tell just by the way she was tossing those hateful store-dyed curls around.

I could see my brother Emerson and his pal Cecil

snickering over by the back fence, but they never went near the bicycle either.

Afternoon recess came and went. Cecil put up his hand, with two fingers, which meant he had to use the outside privy, and it would take longer than if he only held up one finger.

Miss Crosby nodded, and Cecil got up from his desk, nodded at Emerson, and went out the door.

Finally, the big CPR clock on the wall showed it was four o’clock, and Miss Crosby said we were dismissed.

Emerson and Cecil were the first to get out the door, and they headed right for the gate, where they looked like they had just robbed a bank.

Marguirite wasn’t far behind.

She took one look at her bicycle and her scream could be heard in Admaston!

Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion

was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes.

“Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate.

“Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered.

“Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.”

When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle, she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards.

The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

In his latest MPP newsletter, MacLaren reports that on Saturday, May 28, Beer Store customers are encouraged to return their empty beer, wine, and spirit containers to donate all or a portion of their container deposits to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. All of the funds raised will be used to fund promising blood cancer research at medical institutions across the country, he explained.

BIKE FOR HEART

Now

Meanwhile, on May 26 and June 8, the Big Bike for Heart is coming back to Kanata Research Park and is seeking corporate teams to participate, said MacLaren. “Join in the fun and get a little exercise riding the Big Bike to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation,” he wrote.

People can participate as an individual or register as a company team.

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

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your tendency this week is to escape into your mind and imagination. While that’s fine for a little while, pretty soon you have to come back down to earth.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, people are pulling you in all sorts of directions this week. They each want you to share in their good times, but there’s only so much of you that can go around.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you generally like to keep your feet on the ground, this week you are looking to be a little adventurous. Let someone entice you into a whimsical journey.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a desire to bring more calm into your life could have you seeking out a vacation or just a respite from daily life. Take the time to unwind and you’ll come back recharged.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this week may prove to be a little intense, but you’ll muster the energy and strength to push on through. Balancing fun and some workrelated responsibilities is key.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Practicality seems to disappear when you have your mind on enjoyable activities, Virgo. Find a way to be both fun and practical and you will be set.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Honesty is always the best policy, Capricorn. This will become obvious when a past untruth you shared comes back to haunt you. Confess now to save face.
