New pharmacy to fill service gap in Constance Bay area

BY KELLY MCCARTHY kmccarthy@metroland.com

Pharmaceuticals with personal touch – that’s what Tamara Awada is hoping to offer in Constance Bay. Residents of Constance Bay will soon have their very own pharmacy right in the heart of their community.

The Constance Bay Pharmacy, as it is aptly named, opens for business Dec. 1.

“This is an under serviced area,” said Awada, the licensed pharmacist who is opening the independently owned shop. “There was a need for more service, and I wanted to fill that gap.”

The Constance Bay Pharmacy will be a full service pharmacy where residents can fill prescriptions, purchase over-the-counter medications and get professional advice. Awada also said she plans to offer home delivery of prescriptions to local residents if they require that service. It is the first local pharmacy to open in the area, with the closest services currently are 20 minutes away or more on March Road or in Carp.

The store will be open between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday. The store will be closed on

Sundays.

While those are the hours set for the store currently, Awada said she’ll be receptive to tailoring her hours of operation based on what the community needs.

If she finds that more residents require evening hours or early-morning hours, she’ll adjust things to better serve her clients.

That’s Awada’s main goal: to serve her clients to the best of her ability.

She sees her profession as a calling, she said, and takes her role as a pharmacist seriously.

“When (clients) come here, I want it to feel like home,” Awada said. “Being a pharmacist, you have to be a human first in order to succeed in your profession. My clients can expect that human touch in every encounter.”

Awada is licensed as a pharmacist in three countries and holds a Masters degree in the trade. She studied in Moscow, Russia, before continuing to Beirut, Lebanon and finally to Canada. She speaks a total of four languages now, but when she first came to the country she dedicated all of her time to learning English.

“When I came to Canada I had the opportunity to do something else, to switch careers,” Awada said.

Pharmacy offering service with a personal touch opens Dec. 1 “But I am passionate about being a pharmacist so I did everything I could to continue.”

Awada spent three and a half years studying English, even taking classes with high-school aged students to advance her knowledge.

She studied hard to work her way back up the ladder as a pharmacist after taking pharmacy technician jobs she was overqualified for in Russia and Lebanon before finally advancing her career to a similar level.

Now, she wants to use her skills to help those in Constance Bay who have had to go out of their way for pharmacy services until now.

“I want to practise as a pharmacist and help people they way they need to be helped,” she said.

Having a pharmacy in the heart of Constance Bay is a game-changer for residents, said Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

With such a high population of seniors and young

For Awada, the community support has already been overwhelmingly positive.

“People are very welcoming,” she said. “They are very excited and grateful that someone thought to open a pharmacy here. I want to make them proud by offering the best service.”

The Constance Bay Pharmacy opens its doors Dec. 1 at 10 a.m. and will celebrate its grand opening on Dec. 10.

El-Chantiry said that one of his goals as a councillor is to help keep his ward’s seniors at home for as long as possible, and Awada’s pharmacy will make it easier for many older residents to stay in the community they love.

“I hope the community will come out and support this new business and help it succeed,” he said. “I know I will be there with all of my bells and whistles on.”

“Santa shows up and visits with the kids as they eat their breakfast,” Bernhardt said.

Christmas Basket 2016 The West Carleton Food Access Centre - the “Food Bank” will be organizing the annual Christmas Basket Programme in West Carleton to help our neighbours and friends who need assistance at Christmas.

SANTA CLAUS PARADE

The parade is the jewel of the day, starting at 1 p.m. at the Constance Bay General Store (115 Constance Bay Rd.) From there, it continues down Bayview Drive and back to the community centre.

The parade takes about an hour to watch from start to finish, with Santa aboard the last float as the event’s big finale.

The parade usually has about a dozen entries, including floats from local community groups like the Scouts, Girl Guides and local firefighters, as well as dogs from the local agility classes and horses.

This year’s theme is “Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Christmas”, which Bernhardt said is sure to bring out the creative spirit in parade entries. The parade is judged, and prizes are awarded to the winners in various

CHRISTMAS MARKET

After the parade, families are invited to head back to the community centre for hot dogs and hot chocolate (priced at $1 each). Santa will be there to meet and pose for photos with children, all at no cost.

There will be music and face painting as well, and a general feeling of Christmas merriment.

Of course, the annual Christmas Market will be featured at the community centre between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. – a perfect opportunity to knock some

Proceeds raised throughout the day will benefit the West Carleton Food Access Centre, and canned goods will also be collected at each event.

Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (Class EA) Updated Serviceability Report for the Leitrim Development Area (OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b) In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment 76 (OPA 76), the City increased its urban envelope by over 900 hectares. Part of the urban expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). Specifically, OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b were added to the LDA resulting in an additional 87.2 hectares of urban land. OPA 76 urban expansion areas were not included in the servicing strategy for the original 2005 LDA lands Community Design Plan, therefore, an updated servicing plan for the LDA has been prepared. The map illustrates the Leitrim Development Area and OPA Expansion Lands.

The West Carleton Arts Society is hosting its annual $100 and Under Christmas Arts and Crafts Sale between Dec. 2 and 4. More than 27 artists will showcase their handmade items at the show.

Arts Society event offers hand crafted gifts at $100 or less $100 and Under Sale Dec. 2 to 4 This LDA servicing study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the current Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document following an integrated planning and environmental assessment provisions (Section A.2.9) The Updated Serviceability Report (OPA76 Areas 8A, 9A and 9B) for the LDA determined the following: 1.

The LDA falls within the City’s 3C water pressure zone and is currently serviced with potable water from the Ottawa South Pumping Station, trunk watermains and local distribution system throughout the built up area. This water supply system has the capacity to support the planned LDA expansion, and will provide a reliable water service which meets the City’s level of service objectives.

2.

All wastewater flows from the LDA are tributary to the Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station (LPS). The LPS discharges to twin forcemains constructed along Bank Street and outlet to the Conroy Road Collector Sewer which is located near the intersection of Bank Street and Conroy Road. The firm capacity of the LPS has excess capacity required to support the 87 hectares LDA expansion.

This is in part due to the fact that actual wastewater flows are less than the projected flow rates considered for the original design of the station. The four existing sub-trunk sewers within the existing LDA each have sufficient capacity to service the expanded LDA sanitary drainage areas as well.

3.

The LDA stormwater management system consists of a dual drainage network such as stormwater collection pipes; overland flow routes, watercourses and stormwater ponds. To facilitate the OPA 76 expansion lands, the required stormwater infrastructure will include new trunk storm sewers, a constructed channel for rural flow conveyance and the expansion of the existing Findlay Creek Village Stormwater Facility to provide water quantity and quality control.

A Class EA project file report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identifications and evaluation of alternatives and the selection of the preferred solutions, public and agency consultation as well as potential development impacts and mitigation measure.

By way of this Notice, the Class EA report is being placed on the public record for a 30 day review starting on November 17, 2016. The report is available for public review at the following locations: City Hall, Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1, Tel. 613-580-2400

Who says you have to break the bank to give unique, handcrafted gifts this Christmas?

The West Carleton Arts Society will once again host their annual $100 and Under Christmas Arts and Crafts Sale between Friday, Dec. 2 and Sunday, Dec. 4. The event is an opportunity for shoppers to make headway on their holiday gift lists early in the season.

More than 27 artists will be on site at the St. Paul’s United Church in Carp (3760 Carp Rd.) to showcase their wares, all priced at $100 or less. Vendors include jewelers, knitters, painters, soap makers, sewers and potters who will feature Christmas gifts and year-round items alike.

The sale takes place over three days: on Friday, Dec. 2 from 2 to 6 p.m.; on Saturday, Dec. 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Sunday, Dec. 4 from noon to 3 p.m.

The event uses a central cash system to collect payment for items from the sale, making it effortless for shoppers to browse booths without interruption and then pay for their purchases on their way out. The cash accepts cash and credit, Gutsche said.

The West Carleton Arts Society $100 and Under Christmas Arts and Crafts Sale is just a few doors down from the Carp Farmers’ Market annual Christmas Market at the Carp Fairgrounds, Gutsche said, making it an ideal pairing for one-stop shopping.

How do you combine adventure and art? With a self-guided studio tour through the rural landscape of West Carleton.

The 35th annual Red Trillium Studio Tour encompasses 30 local artists and nine locations across West Carleton, making it the perfect sample of everything the ward has to offer for both scenery and art. It takes place on Saturday, Nov. 26 and Sunday, Nov, 27 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

“We’re very fortunate in West Carleton,” said Catherine Nutt, the event’s organizer. “We have a lot to offer in the way of art.”

Over the last 20 years, the Red Trillium Studio Tour has grown to include some of the area’s most talented artists. With two annual tours – one in the winter and one in the spring – the event is the perfect way to showcase what the ward has to offer.

This year’s winter show includes 30 artists, including jewelers, painters, potters, photographers, wood workers and textile artists. The artists are grouped together at nine locations spread throughout the ward, with a variety of mediums at each stop.

New to the tour this year is Wendy Alguire, a fibre artist who makes designer pillows.

She’s featured on the tour’s first stop at 109 Terraview Dr. in Kinburn, as well as five other

More than 30 artists will feature their art on the 35th annual Red Trillium Studio Tour Nov. 26 and 27. The self guided tour takes participants through nine studio stops throughout West Carleton. This elf and Santa were created by Catherine Nutt, one of the featured artists. artists (including Nutt herself.)

The tour also highlights the Good Day Workshop (located at studio three at 2240 Craig Side Rd. in Carp), which features woodworking made by people from the Shepherds of Good Hope.

Artists featured on the tour are juried in, Nutt said, and the work has to pass quality standards in order to be featured. All or most of the artists participating in the tour will have some of their pieces for sale during the tour, which Nutt said make for excellent Christmas gifts.

The whole tour takes a full day to complete, but Nutt said tour participants are free to pick and choose between the 10 stu-

dios and visit the ones of their choosing in any order. Since the tour is self-guided, with the help of the Red Trillium Studio Tour brochure, Nutt said it is easily customizable.

“The idea is to take a day or an afternoon and visit the studios that are of interest to you,” she said.

For those in it for the long haul, there is food like sandwiches and soup available at St. Mary’s Church.

Snow clearing maintenance standards With winter weather just around the corner, now is a good time to provide information on the City’s snow clearing maintenance standards.

When a snowstorm begins, City crews clear snow on high priority roads, main arterials and collectors as follows: • As accumulation begins, crews will clear Hwy 174, Transitway, most arterials and most major collector roads. These roads should be clear within 2-4 hours of the end of accumulation • After 5 cm of accumulation, crews begin clearing most minor collector roads and they should be clear within 6 hours of the end of accumulation • After 7 cm of accumulation, crews will begin clearing most residential roads and they should be clear within 10 hours of the end of accumulation • City crews will plow residential roads to a snow-packed surface. When necessary, materials will be applied to keep roads safe West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 24, 2016 7

Ottawa-Vanier is forever red

T

here are some things that are highly unlikely but still possible, and then there are those things that are absolutely impossible.

Just a week after the highly unlikely came true in the U.S. with the election of Donald Trump as president, there were some who thought, briefly, that the impossible could happen and a Liberal could lose an election in Vanier.

Didn’t happen. That is indeed truly impossible.

After the votes were counted in the Nov. 17 provincial byelection in the Ottawa-Vanier riding, Liberal Nathalie Des Rosiers crushed the Progressive Conservative’s star recruit André Marin by a victory margin of 5,655 votes, or 48.5 per cent of the vote to Marin’s 30 per cent.

The margin of victory for the Liberals was below that of the last provincial election, but the reality is that the race to succeed former Liberal MPP Madeleine Meilleur wasn’t even close. There were whispers before by-election day that the Liberals were vulnerable in Vanier. They clearly were not.

If the provincial Liberals were ever going to see their Ottawa-Vanier stronghold crumble this would

be the time. The Liberal government of Kathleen Wynne is, according to province-wide polls, on shaky ground with the electorate across Ontario, but Ottawa-Vanier isn’t the province as a whole.

It is not considered a Liberal political fortress for nothing. If the Progressive Conservatives are ever going to challenge Liberal domination in Vanier and allow Nepean-Carleton PC MPP Lisa MacLeod to see a Tory elected in Ottawa-Vanier in, as she says, her lifetime, there would have to be a political earthquake in Vanier and there are no signs that the earth is going to move to such an extent any time soon. Marin, a Nepean-resident, said after the vote count that he’s encouraged but he would have to take a step back and reflect on his campaign before deciding if he’d run again as the PC candidate in Ottawa-Vanier.

“I need to reflect … I’ve got to reconsider all the options looking forward,” Marin said. If he is interested in running for provincial office again in the near future, those options he should consider is finding another riding to parachute into.

There are some things that are a given in life, and in the city of Ottawa one of those things is that Vanier is true-blue Liberal red. End of story.

2017 spending should leave some lasting results

W

e seem to have an infinite capacity for being distracted by shiny things. The latest is the proposed outdoor National Hockey League game that has been occupying the headlines of late. Can the game be on Parliament Hill or should it be at TD Place and who’s to blame for it not being at one, or the other, or either?

In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? As far as I know, no dollar figure for the city taxpayer has been attached to any of the proposals, but you can imagine we wouldn’t be getting it for nothing. And while it might be Scrooge-like to grump about such a fun event, it is hard to see a lasting benefit. Once the game is over, everyone goes home, the rink is taken away and that’s that.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town things lately, with an eye to certain provisions of the city budget. This started with an announcement that the city was committing $610,000 to social agencies that work with poor people. That sounds nice, until you begin pondering what $610,000 will buy and contrasting it with other expenditures.

We spent $610,000 on agencies that help poor people. We are committing more than twice that, $1.5 million, on extra policing costs associated with next year’s bicentennial celebrations.

And we announce $400,000 for a Vice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182 Director of Advertising Cheryl Hammond cheryl.hammond@metroland.com Phone 613-221-6218 Editor-in-Chief Ryland Coyne rcoyne@metroland.com General Manager: Mike Tracy mike.tracy@metroland.com Distribution Supervisor Chris Paveley 800-884-9195 ext 31.

sound-and-light show at Chaudière Falls for several weeks next fall 2017 to celebrate indigenous cultures.

How’s that $610,000 looking now?

It’s an easy game to point out frivolous spending and think of ways that it could be used more constructively. Every time I look at the Super Bowl halftime show I think of how many people in Africa could be fed with that money.

It’s an easy game, but it does say something about our society’s priorities. Just to give you another example of how $610,000 stacks up, how about the cost of the royal visit to British Columbia by Prince William and family in September? Preliminary estimates by the department of Heritage come in at $855,000. That includes $116,000 for a dry-run of the event before the royal folks even arrived.

To recap: $610,000 for anti-poverty groups in Ottawa, $855,000 for Will and Kate.

Some better news for poor people in Ottawa is the introduction of a low-income bus pass. Some constructive spending of taxpayer money ($2.7 million a year according to a CBC report) is involved, but even here there are questions.

The price of the pass, $57 a month, has been criticized as too high to be useful. It could be lower if the province kicked in more money. But the province, as we know, has its own priorities.

The 2017 celebrations in this city are considered highly important by some people. In all likelihood those businesses that are involved in tourism will benefit. And in all likelihood the city will get some national and international publicity out of it, which may be worth something,

Money is available for 2017 and money will be spent. It shouldn’t be too unreasonable to ask that some of it be spent in ways that bring permanent benefit to the city and its residents, particularly its less privileged ones.

Following the victory over last year’s champions, the Ottawa RedBlacks will head to the Grey Cup in Toronto on Nov. 27.

RedBlacks head coach Rick Campbell is quoted on the team’s website, saying that “That was way to easy!”

“They’ve been first rate all year and there is no place I’d rather be than at home, trying to win a game and fortunately we were able to pull it off,” Campbell said.

Coins had a ‘Come easy, go easy’ fate for this special treat

T

he winter Eaton’s catalogue had arrived. The mailman left it in our mailbox. It was fat and shiny with a woman wearing a bright red coat on the cover. It was sitting on the kitchen table when I got home from school.

I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up and the red and white checked oilcloth wiped clean. My sister Audrey knew what was ahead and though she wasn’t nearly excited as I was, she too, would be pouring over each page, from the fashions in the front, to the corsets, the Christmas decorations and candy and the tools and farm items at the back. The old catalogue, dog-eared, with pages torn out where necessary, would be moved to the outhouse after Father had punched a hole in the upper corner to feed through a piece of

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories This was one of my favourite sections and I could almost taste the striped hard candy and the chocolates that had been strewed over the entire page, looking like they had been accidentally spilled from the cans holding them.

“Enough of that page,” Audrey said. She was ready to move on. I shoved the book over to Mother sitting at the end of the table working on her diaries.

“If I took all the pennies out of the corner of my hanky, do you think we could take some out of the egg-money to add to

strong binder twine to hang it from the spike inside the door.

Mother would look through the new catalogue when she had time, and order the usual long underwear and a pair of navy blue fleece lined bloomers for me. We had little hope of getting anything else from Eaton’s catalogue.

Until that night.

As soon as Audrey and I sat on the long bench behind the kitchen table, and the book was in front of us, I turned right towards the back and the pails upon pails of Christmas candy.

them and maybe buy one of those little pails of candy?”

I figured it was worth a try.

Mother looked at the page, ran the tips of her fingers over the candy pictures and in the lowest of voices said, “I don’t see why not.”

Well!! Father shook his head, my three brothers, let war hoops out of them that could be heard in Arnprior, Audrey was pouring over the page to see what pail to pick and I thought I was going to cry!

It seemed like only a few days before the candy arrived on a Saturday, C.O.D., Mother paying the mailman with a handful of coins and the fight was on to see who would open the parcel. Mother settled that by opening it herself.

And there it was, a shiny pail of Christmas candy and the holiday weeks away! The excitement wasn’t to end there. Just before we were to head

for picking raspberries the next summer. We were all sitting around the kitchen table as usual when the last candy was eaten with Christmas more than a month away.

Mother was at her diaries and was no doubt thinking about the coins taken out of the egg money in the blue sugar bowl to pay for the candy. The pail sat empty in the middle of the table. Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal, but we all heard him say, “Come easy, go easy.” We knew he wasn’t talking about the candy, but the coins taken out of the egg money to pay for it.

upstairs to bed, Mother said she could see nothing wrong with opening the pail and giving each of us just one to taste!

I picked a green and white striped one and Audrey looked for and found a cinnamon one, with the brothers, so anxious to get a taste, just grabbed one off the top and popped it into their mouths. Well, having a piece of the Christmas candy every night before we went to bed became a ritual and it wasn’t long until we could see the bottom of the pail. We knew there wasn’t a hope of getting another order of candy from Eaton’s catalogue.

And then the pail was empty. All that remained was a dusting of sugar in the bottom, which Emerson scooped up by licking the end of his finger and running it around the inside bottom of the pail. Audrey said the pail would be good

Serenity Renewal’s Sister Louise to receive Order of Ottawa

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.om

Cynthia O’Dwyer had already been making progress in her battle against alcoholism and drug addiction when she walked into Serenity Renewal for Families, a critical step that would help shape the rest of her life and the lives of her future children.

“It was terrifying, but I was just so accepted there,” O’Dwyer said of meeting Serenity Renewal’s co-founders, Sister Louise Dunn and Alexa Smith, who is now retired.

O’Dwyer, now 56, had just gone through the Royal Ottawa’s 10-day detox and 27-day residential programs in the late 1980s, but knew there was more work she needed to do in her recovery.

“I needed more help, just selfesteem and awareness to deal with childhood abuse,” she said.

“It destroys how a person perceives the world.”

The Serenity team and Dunn

have made all the difference in O’Dwyer’s journey.

“Louise just has a way of listening,” O’Dwyer said of Dunn, one of 15 people who will be inducted by Mayor Jim Watson into the prestigious Order of Ottawa at a city hall ceremony on Nov. 17.

Acceptance is key, said Dunn, a Catholic nun who, at age 83, continues to work 40 hours a week as an addictions counsellor, providing a wide range of workshops at Serenity’s home base at 2255 St. Laurent Blvd. near Walkley Road.

“I don’t look and see the addicted. I don’t look and see the alcoholic,” said Dunn. “I look and see the person who is also an alcoholic.”

O’Dwyer still had her walls up in her late 20s when she went to Serenity, when it was located in Herongate. She had already been struggling for years, having begun using alcohol and drugs at age 12. “It became something I did all the time. It was an escape,” O’Dwyer said.

“I did not like the way I felt without anything. I wanted to check out.”

In many ways, she said she had to learn everything all over again — how to cope with anger, sadness and bitterness, how to learn to trust again. But the counselling sessions and workshops she has taken part in over the years have helped her grow and heal. O’Dwyer has been sober for 29 years.

For Dunn, her work — which is done on a volunteer basis — is “life-giving.”

Dunn co-founded Serenity in 1983 after she went back to school to earn her certification in addictions counselling. As a teacher at two Catholic high schools in Ottawa, she said more and more teens were coming to her with addiction issues.

Since opening, Serenity has helped thousands of children, teens, adults and seniors. Every year, 2,500 people with addiction and mental-health issues come through the doors.

“Finally Free from Arthritis Pain Without Drugs and Harmful Side Effects” Living with arthritis pain can affect every part of your life.

It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life – time with grandkids, playing golf, even working in the yard.

It would be nice to get out of bed – just one morning – without pain.

Every time you try and push through the pain…like standing or walking for a long period of time…you pay for it for the next 2-3 days with even more pain.

Do you have any of the these Arthritic problems? ü ü ü ü ü ü

Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid arthritis Bursitis/tendonitis Degenerative joint disease Lumbar disc problems Aching pain in the arms or legs Pain Pills Are Not Always “The Answer”

Many medications have unwanted and harmful side effects. Remember Vioxx? After years of use worldwide, the makers withdrew this popular arthritis drug from the market because of the overwhelming evidence it caused heart attacks and strokes. It’s estimated that it caused 61,000 deaths in the United States alone!

There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT if you’ve been on medications for arthritis ask yourself … after taking all these pain medications…maybe for years… are you any better off?

Pain Is Not Just ‘Old Age’ Have you had one doctor after another telling you this is just the natural process of the body getting older that you should expect to have arthritis. Sure, if you don’t take care of your damaged joints now, as you get older they will be worse (which is why you shouldn’t wait any longer to see if I can help you.)

However, old age is not the cause of your arthritis.

Why is it that you have 360 joints in your body, all are the same age, yet arthritis and joint degeneration has not affected every one of them? Only your previously injured joints that never healed properly suffer?

My name is Dr. Kelly Graham, owner of Dunrobin Family Chiropractic. Over the past 16 years in practice, I’ve seen thousands of people come in suffering with arthritis and walk out pain free.

I’ve made it my mission in practice to help those suffering with chronic pain like you.

“My experience at the clinic was very positive. Everything has changed. Dr. Graham is very knowledgeable and caring. I feel like they are genuinely interested in my well being Thank you!” – Cindy reporting on her experience at our clinic.

I’ll answer all your questions about chiropractic and arthritis pain.

The appointment will not take long at all and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day either.

Are you suffering from Arthritis Pain?

If so, relief may be easier than you think.

Think of how you could feel in just a few short months. See and feel your life change for the better. Start your body on the way to pain-free, normal living. Feel tight joints rest, relax, free up.

In addition to that, here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic…

I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life.

“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal

Sincerely,

To take me up on this special offer, you must call before December 9th, 2016.

Dr. Kelly Graham DC P.S. The only real question to ask you is this…

West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 24, 2016 17

MacLaren proposes identification of veterans on provincial ID cards who served in the reserve force, as well as special and domestic duties.

The bill will be presented on March 17. “We thought it would be appropriate to speak about it now since we just had the Remembrance Day services last week,� said MacLaren.

MacLaren said he expects the Liberals and NDP will back the bill. “We’re all Canadians and we all enjoy freedoms,� he said. “And it’s the veterans who fought for and obtained those freedoms.�

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Conservative Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren announced on Nov. 15 he will introduce a private members bill to add identification of veterans to provincial ID cards.

The proposal calls for a small yellow bar with the word veteran to be located below the photograph on driver’s licences and Ontario identification cards to indicate the bearer is a veteran, said MacLaren. “I think it’s appropriate that we show respect for our veterans and I think we could show more – that’s what we’re trying to do here,� he said.

If passed, the provincial identification would be optional for veterans, which include all former members of the Canadian Forces who have been honourably released, as well as those

MPP Jack MacLaren, with cadet Scott Coulombe, lays a wreath at the Constance Bay Remembrance Service this year. MacLaren will introduce a private members bill in March 2017 to add identification for veterans on provincial ID cards.

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER).

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

BENEFITS

The federal veterans ombudsman has been calling for a national identification card for veterans since 2013, said MacLaren. And although veterans have access to a CFOne card issued by the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, it has no photo identification and “is not widely used.� MacLaren’s office added the Ontario identification card (often used in place of a drivers licence by non-drivers) would not replace any Forces ID. The benefits of adding identification for veterans to provincial ID cards include public recognition of service, potential discounts, and emergency first responders could more easily triage veterans for service-related conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder, said MacLaren. “Going into an event or an accident, a situation, it would just give them some information on the individual; that this person is a veteran,� he said.

Identification could potentially provide financial benefits as well. “We see in the U.S. where they do have identification for veterans; there have been private sector businesses (that) have chosen to offer discounts,� said MacLaren. “Perhaps in Canada too certain businesses might choose or be willing to offer a slight discount to veterans out of respect for their service.�

The cost to modify existing ID cards would likely be low, said MacLaren. However, no cost analysis has been completed.

MacLaren said he is open to any changes that might be suggested for the bill. “If there are adjustments and changes that have to be made as we move along we’ll be accepting of that,� he said. “I just want to get identification on cards.�

Chateau Laurier design smaller in scale

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Architects and planners unveiled the new plans for an addition to the Chateau Laurier on Nov. 17.

The design behind the curtain however was eerily similar to the one that was panned on social media in September.

“There isn’t as much change as I’d expected,” said David Jeanes, president of Heritage Ottawa.

Jeanes, who remained diplomatic during the open house where residents could get a peek at the plans, said he was surprised to see the roof on the modern looking addition stay athe same. “The roof is rather boxy,” he said of the addition, adding the iconic roofline of the existing Chateau Laurier was “critically important.”

The plans appear to disguise and hide the addition rather than showcase it. The new plan is a scaled-back version of the original version that was unveiled previously.

Peter Clewes, the architect with the project, said the major changes include an eight per cent reduction of the massing, height and floor plates. In addition, Chateau Laurier owners Larco Investments Ltd., has heard from the NCC that they’d like to see the roof of the Chateau lit to highlight the roofline at night.

Several roofs in the parliamentary precinct will be lit. Clewes said the addition wouldn’t be lit, so as not to detract from the view.

The building materials will be limestone, bronze and copper, which Jeanes said is hard to see in a model. “The materials are quite grand,” he said.

Jeanes didn’t appear to agree with Clewes statement that the addition be significantly different from the heritage aspects of the site.

He pointed to the addition at the Lord Elgin, which uses different window sizes and stone, but is more in character with the original building.

Aside from the bricks and mortar, there will be a return to nature. The two additions may feature green roofs, said Derek Lee, who’s in charge of landscaping for the project.He said

the plan is to reintroduce the hotel to Major’s Hill Park.

That would be done by taking down the existing parking lot, which was built between the 1960s and 1980s. A new parking lot would be five storeys and underground.

But the work will be worth it, when staff can once again open the curtains in the iconic ball-

room. Right now the only view out the window is that of a concrete slab. Lee said that part of the return to nature will be a small, Frenchstyle kitchen courtyard and an “urban room” on MacKenzie Avenue with landscaping and a “water feature” to highlight surrounding natural elements – such as the mature line of trees surrounding the park.

Imagine a time when you called a service company and a technician would show up promptly for a service call at your home, tip his hat, clean up any mess from the work performed, and thank you for your Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning is one of the select businesses certified business when the work is done. as a Bryan Baeumler Approved Contractor.

This doesn’t have to be just a mem- Here, General Manager and Partner, Roger ory of a time when customer service Holmes (left), is shown with Bryan Baeumler was something to be taken seriously; during a visit to Toronto in September 2016. at Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning, they don’t just offer lip service about putting customers first, they are committed to taking customer service to the next level, and setting a whole new standard in the industry.

“We designed our business around the belief that we would do what we said we were going to do, when said we were going to do it, and to then stand behind the work that we did,” General Manager and Partner, Roger Holmes explained.

This may seem like rhetoric that so many other companies spout regularly, but for Holmes, this philosophy is the cornerstone of his business. He doesn’t expect people to take his word on it, however, the proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

Being named as one of a select number of businesses recognized as a Bryan Baeumler Approved Contractor is proof positive of the Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning team’s reputation of high quality service, integrity, and honesty. The family-owned and operated business also has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and has been reviewed more than 200 times on Home Stars, a trusted resource for reviewing home professionals, with a rating of 9.6 out of 10.

It’s easy to see why customers appreciate their experience - offering 24 hours same-day emergency service, and two-hour window appointment times so customers aren’t left waiting all day wondering when a technician will arrive.

Servicing a wide geographical range, from Perth to Smiths Falls, Kanata, Stittsville, Carp, Arnprior, and Renfrew, no customer will be left high and dry when dealing with Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning.

In fact, Holmes is so concerned with making sure the customers’ experience comes first, that appointment confirmation emails are sent out that include the name and recent photo of the technician who will be servicing the call, offering peace of mind to customers admitting someone unfamiliar into their home.

When their technician arrives at a customer’s home the first thing they do is roll out the red carpet – literally! Technicians bring with them a carpet to stand on while putting on protective boot covers to ensure the customer’s home remains pristine after the service visit. These are the often-overlooked details that sets them above and beyond his competitors.

Following their appointment, customers are emailed a copy of the work order describing what was done and the invoice, as well as a sincere thank you for choosing Carleton Refrigeration, Heating & Air Conditioning for their service needs.

“That’s the professionalism, we are respectful of our customer’s time, and respectful of their safety and security,” Holmes stressed, “Our goal as a team is to create a customer experience that is so exceptional all they want to do is tell everyone they know…it’s what we do different that keeps customers coming back.”

Graffiti incident prompts speaker series on recent hate crimes

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A spate of racist graffiti in the capital has prompted Crime Prevention Ottawa to host a speakers series.

The series, entitled “Addressing Hate Crimes: Creating a Safe City for All,” will be held Nov. 25 at city hall in council chambers.

The first incident happened in the Glebe. Rabbi Anna Maranta woke up to find a swastika and a racial slur on her front door.

In a statement on her Facebook page, Maranta blamed US president elect Donald Trump.

“This. This is what has been unleashed by the American President Elect and those that support him,” the post dated Nov. 15 says The second one was Kehillat Beth Israel congregation on Coldrey Avenue The last was at the Congregation of Machzikei Hadas saw at least four swastikas spray painted on the synagogue.

People noticed the vandalism at 7 a.m. on Nov. 17.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi joined the chorus of public leaders who decried the trio of hate crimes.

“Today we learned that the

police are investigating a third act of vandalism and antiSemitism against Ottawa’s Jewish community,” the attorney general wrote in a statement.

“These acts of hates and intolerance are shocking, sad and absolutely unacceptable. It is deeply troubling that are happening in our community – a community that values that diversity and inclusion.”

Andrea Freeman, president of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa, said the organization is working closely with Ottawa police. Freedman said in an emailed statement that the police are taking the incidents very seriously.

“These acts of cowardice are an affront not just to the Jewish community, but to all Ottawa Ottawans and Canadians who share our core values of respect, tolerance and kindness,” she said.

Naqvi echoed the sentiment.

That’s not my Ottawa,” he said. “These acts of hate do not reflect our city, our province, our country.”

Freedman said the federation has received an outpouring of support from Ottawa communities of many beliefs and denominations and from our elected officials.

“It is reassuring to know they join us in standing up

against all acts of racism, anti-Semitism and bigotry,” she said. “The Jewish community of Ottawa will not be intimidated and we stand united against deplorable acts of hatred.”

The Glebe Business Improvement Area was quick to stand behind Rabbi Maranta.

The association sent out a statement the same day she found the graffiti on her front door.

“The Glebe Business Improvement Area is horrified by the appearance of hate graffiti on the home of a local resident,” the statement reads.

“The symbols send a message of intolerance and hate to the entire community and we regard it as a sickening act.”

The Crime Prevention Ottawa speakers series will feature: • Bernie Farber, executive director Mosaic Institute • Reverend Anthony Bailey, Minister Parkdale United Church • Joanne Law, representing the Ottawa Trans Community, • Dave Zackaris, staff sergeant diversity and race relations for Ottawa police • Amira Elghawaby, communications director for the National Council of Canadian Muslims.

The event starts at 8 a.m. with coffee.

STAY WARM AND SAVE ON HOME ENERGY THIS WINTER

Location: Pilon Family Chapel 50 John Street North, Arnprior

As we head into the winter months, you may notice one thing: an increase in your energy bill. The reduced amount of daylight drives us to turn on our lights sooner, while the cooler temperatures cause us to crank up the heat inside.

The winter and summer months tend to be the most energy-intensive times of the year, as we try to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, despite what the thermometer says.

We would like to extend a warm invitation to attend our annual Candlelight Memorial Service.

8 Tips to Save Money and Stay Warm this Winter!

1 Set the thermostat to 20° C (68°F) when you’re home.

MPP MacLaren to host hydro town hall meetings

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren will host four town hall meetings throughout his riding to address hydro issues.

MacLaren, whose riding includes those on Hydro Ottawa

and Hydro One, said increased electricity rates are causing financial hardships for his constituents.

“We get more calls about hydro bills in this office than any other subject,” he said.

Last year in Ontario, 60,000 people had their hydro turned off in their homes because

“they couldn’t pay their bills,” MacLaren said.

Many of those who live on government pensions, or who have lost their job, struggle to pay their bills, he said. And although the Liberal provincial government will introduce an eight per cent tax rebate on electricity bills in January, it’s

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan Amendment and Comprehensive Zoning By-law Amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan Amendment (file number D01-01-16-0011) and Zoning By-Law Amendment (file number D02-02-16-0073) affects new development and redevelopment in proximity to the MacDonald-Cartier International Airport as well as the Rockcliffe and Carp Airports as illustrated on Annex 10 of the Official Plan.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The purpose of the City-initiated amendments are to: • update Annex 10 of the Official Plan with a new 35 NEP/NEF composite noise contour line • to make necessary changes and streamline existing airport noise control policies in the Official Plan • make necessary updates to the Zoning Bylaw The introduction of a new 35 composite contour in Annex 10 is a result of new noise projections for the McDonald-Cartier airport to the year 2043. Effort has been made to have the 35 NEP line conform generally to land use boundaries and topographic features. The streamlined policies and necessary changes in the Official Plan are intended to provide greater clarity in regard to land use permissions in the vicinity of airports and provide an update to dates and references. Changes to the Zoning Bylaw will generally be limited to necessary updates of dates and references and replacement of Schedule 6.

FURTHER INFORMATION For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, please contact the undersigned planner. Further information, including access to the application, additional materials, and any related plans, studies or reports may also be obtained by going to Ottawa.ca/devapps and inputting the File Number D01-01-16-0011 or D02-02-16-0073 in the “Search” criteria.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal.

Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by December 23, 2016. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments, or of the refusal of a request to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa.

Four town hall meetings hosted by MPP Jack MacLaren will offer people information about their hydro bills and the chance to hear from Parker Gallant, a contributor to the Financial Post on matters relating to the energy sector and vice-president of Wind Concerns Ontario. not enough because costs keep rising.

“They’re just running out of money,” said MacLaren. “It’s not OK. People, they’re hurting and they want information.”

The four town halls – two in Kanata and one each in Pakenham and West Carleton – will offer people information about their hydro bills and the chance to hear from Parker Gallant, a retired banker and former chairman of the Canadian Bankers Association’s trade finance committee, who is a contributor to the Financial Post on matters relating to the energy sector and is the vicepresident of Wind Concerns Ontario.

“We’re going to have an expert on the subject, to explain to people their hydro bills,” said

MacLaren. “It’s an information town hall meeting.

“Government needs to start to understand that they’re causing great hardship in Ontario, whether it’s businesses trying to survive or people trying to pay their hydro bills. We have to see if there’s something that can be done.”

MacLaren said he had a constituent from West Carleton call his office when his bill doubled to $1,000 for no discernable reason.

He called the Hydro One ombudsman to inquire about the bill, which was then reduced to its regular amount. But the ombudsman couldn’t explain why it went up in the first place or why it was reduced, he said.

“They weren’t sure,” MacLaren said. “It’s pretty hard

to have any level of confidence in Hydro One (when they can’t explain why).”

MEETINGS

MacLaren will host four town hall hydro information meetings: • Saturday, Nov. 26: 10 a.m. to noon at the Stewart Community Centre, 112 MacFarlane St., Pakenham.

• Saturday, Nov. 26: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., Kanata.

• Saturday, Dec. 3: 10 a.m. to noon at the Kinburn Community Centre, 3045 Kinburn Side Rd., Kinburn.

• Saturday, Dec. 3: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Intercultural Dialogue Institute, 335 Michael Cowpland Dr. unit 112, Kanata.

New book looks at Renfrew County timber era

BY TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

Things were wild during the timber times in Renfrew County.

Larry Cotton’s new book The Turbulent Square Timber Era, the sixth book in the Whiskey and Wickedness Ottawa Valley series, examines life in the Valley during the bustling time.

“People will find it entertaining, informative and educational,” Cotton said of his newest book. “I’m very happy with the way it turned out.”

This is a sequel to his Canadian bestseller Whiskey and Wickedness Renfrew County, published in 2008.

Cotton has a passion for writing historical-based books and is currently writing three more books.

“This is a retirement project.

The important thing is to determine a passion, I would have gone crazy,” said Cotton on his love of writing.

“Some people slow down but I drive by a small town and wonder if that old hotel could talk. Well it can. I can walk by and say I read a story about that. People have to realize how important the town’s histories are.”

Cotton has written 18 historical-based books and the new one on the timber era was published in October.

He uses early newspapers, criminal court records, coroners inquests, journals and diaries to write his stories.

“I try and get most of my stuff from primary documents but I like to put by own narrative to it,” said Cotton. “I think I have a strong sense of whimsy.”

The Perth-based author, is originally from the Barrie area but also taught at Madawaska High School and started as the planner for the County of Renfrew in 1976, serving for decades.

Some of his other books look at Barrie, Orillia, Muskoka/ Parry Sound, Simcoe, Toronto, Halton and Hamilton.

Cotton says a large majority of the male population in eastern Ontario worked in some capacity of the timber trade.

“It was unique in terms of the number of men occupied in the trade, it was different than the northern Toronto area,” said Cotton.

“In eastern Ontario and western Quebec, you have the river and 80 men died in one year. Along the Madawaska

River you had a very high mortality rate because there was quite a bit more violence because of the ethnic groups, the quality of timber and the number of taverns.”

But there was one specific reason this area was more unique.

“It was a wild and woolly place to work,” said Cotton.

He says the new book is really the story of the average working man’s life in the bush in the mid-19th century, which was calls it a rite of passage into manhood.

“If you go and ask half a dozen people in Renfrew what their great-grandfathers did,

they worked in the shanty or hauling supplies. It’s a universal experience every man went through.”

BOOK SIGNING

Cotton has two book signings coming up.

On Nov. 26, he will be at the Arnprior Book Shop from 2 to 5 p.m. and he will be in Renfrew on Dec. 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at A Sense of Country.

Books can also be purchased at Century 21 in Renfrew, Something Special in Burnstown, Book Worm/Top Shelf Distillery in Perth and Balderson Cheese.

Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it?

I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents.

Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario.

Parker’s talk is called “Watts in your hydro bill?’ Parker will take you through every line-item on your bill, and he’ll explain what each one covers. If you think the electricity line covers only the cost of generating electricity, you may be shocked at what else it contains.

Here are the dates, times, and locations for all four town-hall meetings: • November 26th, 2016 • 10:00-12:00 Mississippi Mills Stewart Community Centre – Upper Hall 112 MacFarlane St, Pakenham, ON • November 26th, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm John G Mlacak Centre Bud Purnell (Hall C) 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata, ON K2K 2W3 • December 3rd, 2016 • 10:00-12:00pm Kinburn Community Centre 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn, ON • December 3rd, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm Intercultural Dialogue Institute 335 Michael Cowpland Drive #112, Kanata, ON For more information, please contact his office at 613-599-3000 or email jack.maclarenco@pc.ola.org

The rodeo that is market day on the farm

I

always feel sorry for the drover when he comes to our place to pick up animals.

We think we are ready for him, but the animals have other plans.

One mild November evening we lured the cattle into the barn with a freshly unwrapped bale of hay. It smelled like apples and whiskey in there.

They couldn’t resist it. As soon as they were all inside, the Farmer slid the gate shut behind them. Aha. Trapped.

The cattle resigned themselves to the fact that the morning would likely hold some kind of unpleasant business, and settled in for the night with little fuss.

In the early morning mist,

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife we could hear the cows mooing softly from inside the barn.

They were growing restless, wondering what was in store for them. Then the drover’s truck rattled around the corner and up the lane. The bellowing began. They know that truck sound means either another animal is arriving or one of them is going.

I was happy to see that Dennis the drover had brought his wife, because I hadn’t seen

Kim in a while. We caught up as we made our way into the barn. “How’s the non-smoking going?” “Oh great, thanks.

Haven’t had one since July.

How are the kids?” It was our job to push the animals out into the corralled area.

Later the Farmer said to me, “farm first, talk later.” He is a man of few words but he gets his message across. Haha.

But it wasn’t our chit-chat that caused a problem that

day. With most of the cattle and all of the calves crowded in the corralled area, Dennis backed the truck up to the end of the chute.

The Farmer opened the gate so it would be a clear path into the back of the trailer.

We gently separated the calves from the herd and pushed them down the chute one by one, behind one cow who was their bait.

We tapped their butts with a cane so they would hop up into the trailer. Seven, eight…. and then number nine saw a gap in the fence. He bolted, breezing right past the Farmer and squeeeezing himself through the open space to freedom.

A number of colourful swear words erupted from my husband and the drover. By the time we collected ourselves the escapee calf was already halfway down the field, standing defiantly between his mother and the bull. “Well.

That’s just great,” said the

Farmer, as the blue air around him began to clear. The calves were certainly putting up a fight this year when it came time to separate them from their mothers. We had sold two calves the weekend before to a local farmer and that had been another kind of rodeo event. The Farmer managed to get himself wedged in the trailer beside the baby bull, who proceeded to climb the wall in attempt to escape out the window.

The trailer was rocking back and forth – it looked like something out of a cartoon and I was amazed the Farmer got out in one piece. He decided not to get into the trailer this time.

We wanted the rest of the calves to go in this sale. They had been suckling on their mothers since they were born, and the cows were getting a little thin and tired.

It was time for a break. The drover scratched his head.

“Listen. If you get him in the barn tonight I will come back in the morning and pick him up before the sale.”

So that’s what we did. Eight

of our calves went to the sale barn, and the cows wandered down the field to find sunny spots in which to lie down and rest with the one remaining calf.

The Farmer did manage to get that calf in the barn, which was nothing short of a miracle.

By the time the sun set the cows realized their calves were not returning, and they started to bawl.

I feel bad for the neighbours in the front farmhouse because, although they are not farmers themselves, they have a front-row seat to everything that happens on the farm, complete with a soundtrack.

Those cows bawled all night.

Description of Property- Former Skead’s Mills Methodist Church, 307 Richmond Road The church at 307 Richmond Road is a one-and-one-half-storey stone building constructed in 1898 in the Westboro neighbourhood in Ottawa’s west end.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value The building at 307 Richmond Road has cultural heritage value for its design value as a village church built in the Gothic Revival style, its historic value as an example of the early development of Ottawa’s west end, and its contextual value as a landmark along Richmond Road.

The church at 307 Richmond Road has design value as a good example of a small 19th century stone village church in the Ottawa area. The building is a simple interpretation of the Gothic Revival style, featuring pointed arch windows with decorative tracery and stone quoins. The central gable over the front door features decorative bargeboard. Located in the present day community of Westboro, the former Skead’s Mills Methodist Church has historical value for its association with the early development of the Ottawa’s west end. Constructed in 1898, it is one of the oldest remaining buildings in Westboro.

It operated as a Methodist church until 1925 when the United Church of Canada was formed. In 1928, the building was sold to a Baptist congregation.

The building has contextual value due to its location on Richmond Road, which as the main east-west highway into the city, played an integral role in the development of the small, rural villages west of Ottawa. The church is a landmark as one of a number of stone buildings located along Richmond Road in Westboro, the centre of Nepean Township in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

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

I thoroughly enjoyed talking to so many people at both the Kanata Legion and the Diefenbunker, and was so inspired by the number of people who showed up to the events.

Our community can be proud of their displays of gratitude to our Veterans.

I want to thank Councillor Alan Hubley for his leadership in highlighting Ottawa’s anti-bullying campaign. Using a Frisbee to toss from person to person to initiate a discussion on prevention is such an effective way of starting the conversation. After catching the Frisbee from Concillor Hubley, I made a toss to my colleague Peter Shiefke, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for Youth. Please follow the Frisbee’s progress on my web page, and please discuss with others how you can play a role in eliminating bullying.

Around the Community

Thank you to the Glen Cairn Community Association for their invitation to attend their annual tree lighting ceremony. It was a beautiful evening to light up an incredible tree! It was also such a pleasure to join the Cadets of 872 Squadron during their fundraising spaghetti dinner. It was great to speak to so many intelligent, respectfully young men and women.

Canada Company – Veterans Event

It was my pleasure this week to speak at the Aviation Museum to an incredible group of professionals who care deeply about Canada’s Veterans. Canada Company hosted a National Transition exCHANGE. The event brought together dozens of companies who actively hire retiring members of the Canadian Forces. Often it is difficult for companies to understand the skills and training that the retiring members have to offer to civilian employers. Events like the exCHANGE bring together companies and retiring members and have proven incredibly successful in helping these new Veterans transition to the civilian workforce.

They chose the wrong bird

BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

Last week I wrote about the Greater White-fronted Geese that were frequenting the Madawaska Headpond.

These stray geese stayed until at least Nov. 14. More recently, another species of goose has made the news but for a very different reason.

Earlier this year the Royal Canadian Geographic Society started a campaign to name a national bird.

The five finalists were: Canada Goose, Common Loon, Snowy Owl, Gray Jay, and Black-capped Chickadee.

A public forum was held at the Canadian Museum of Nature where a proponent for each species defended his or her choice. When the one for Can-

ada Goose fell ill, I was asked to take her place. I turned down the invitation because I strongly felt another species deserved to be placed on a national pedestal. My choice: the Blackcapped Chickadee.

Last week it was announced

that the Gray Jay was the winner.

Now, I have nothing but admiration for that gentle bird of the north for many reasons, including those given for its selection (i.e., found across Canada, hardy, friendly, and smart).

However, those attributes equally apply to Black-capped Chickadees.

And these affable little birds own other impressive features.

Their hippocampus, the part of the brain dealing with spatial memory, grows larger in the fall to enhance their owners’ ability to store and retrieve food.

On cold winter nights chickadees lower their body temperature by 12°C, entering a deep sleep called torpor to conserve energy.

Black-capped Chickadee a winner Serious savings on great looking furniture? Let the shopping begin!

Continued from page 28

Other points tip the scales in favour of Black-capped Chickadees.

They are found across Canada in many habitats, including cities where they come to backyard feeders and land on us for handouts on public trails; almost every Canadian knows them! In winter chickadees socialize with other species forming “mixed-species flocks.”

When they encounter a predator, chickadees give alarm calls that give information as the level of danger it presents, information that other species decipher.

Conversely, Gray Jays are boreal forest birds that stick to themselves, seldom socializing with other species. Comparatively few Canadians have met or even know the species.

And last but not least, part of their name bears an American, not Canadian, spelling.

A dark cloud hovers over this competition.

Unexpectedly, near the finish line, Blackcapped Chickadee, Common Loon, and Snowy Owl were disqualified, even though two of those species garnered more votes than Gray Jay. Why? Because those three were already provincial symbols (New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec, respectively).

But this begs the question: “Why did the contest organizers allow these three to be nominated in the first place if they were ultimately going to be disqualified?”

MICHAEL RUNTZ PHOTO

To many, including Michael Runtz, the Black-capped Chickadee would have been a much better choice for National Bird.

Could this be poll fixing – reducing the number of eligible candidates at the last minute so that only two have any possibility of winning, one being the Gray Jay? By having three species tossed out, the odds of that species winning certainly were not hurt!

It is, however, fortunate that the Canada Goose wasn’t chosen. For if it had been, I’d be even more justified in yelling: “fowl play!”

Grandparents fight for access rights to grandchildren Your buying choices matter to your community and your future.

It’s that time of year!

We are planning for the holidays; time with family and friends, getting into the spirit of giving and making more purchases than we would during the entire rest of the year combined! So it seems a good time to revisit the idea of keeping it local. Online marketing and buying has revolutionized our consumer habits. It has created many favourable opportunities for the market place and the global economy. We view it as convenient and efficient and many believe they are getting better deals. It is not reasonable to expect our communities to be completely self-sustained.

However, there are advantages to keeping the balance between shopping locally and online. Advantages that have a real economic, environmental and cultural impact on us.

I have always been a huge proponent of shopping locally.

I come from a small community so it was easy to see the changes in the economic landscape and gauge how decision making by government and the community could make an impact. It is very much the same in a larger community like Ottawa. I had a friend who owned a shoe store and I didn’t buy shoes outside that store for the 9 years she owned it.

Why would I not support the business of someone who was my friend, my neighbour and a community supporter? Why wouldn’t any of us?

Many studies have shown that money spent locally means more money in the community circulated at a greater velocity which is what keeps the local economy thriving. In addition, local business people are more likely to support community causes and at a higher level. So you can thank them for our local sports teams, greater access to health care, education and the arts. All in our own backyard.

Our commitment to local businesses also spurs new businesses which means more access to a variety of products and better services at our fingertips. We can access unique, high quality products often at the same or better price. And we receive more value in the form of personal customer service, advice and referrals to other things we are seeking. I love interacting with the people who are helping me with my purchase. I often have fun and thoughtful conversations that add meaning to my day. It’s not that we will never buy online. The key is keeping our choices alive tomorrow by balancing our buying decisions today.

The West Ottawa Board of Trade actively promotes the businesses that support our community work through membership. One program that really keeps it local is our Member to Member Program. Many member businesses have special offerings or discounts that fellow member businesses and their employees can access. What better time to check it out than during the holiday season? On behalf of our board, staff and volunteers, we wish you a prosperous and healthy holiday season in this wonderful community.

Cheers to your success!

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ottawa-area grandparents are adding their voices to a demand for change to the province’s Children’s Law Reform Act that would allow for grandparentgrandchildren access rights.

Kanata’s Frank and Sonya, and Lea and Larry of Orléans, say withholding visitation for grandparents and their grandchil-

dren constitutes emotional and psychological abuse, and currently there is no recourse in the law.

Both couples did not want their last names used.

“Children’s Aid, Elder Abuse Ontario and Public Health Canada all say that using children as pawns, isolating them and denying them access to their grandparents, is emotional abuse. And it still goes on,” said Frank. “You don’t have to be a grandparent to

understand that this is wrong.”

Bill 34 was introduced by Algoma-Manitoulin NDP MPP Michael Mantha and passed its second reading on Nov. 3. The legislation would ensure that courts consider individual cases to grant access, based on whether contact would be appropriate in the circumstances.

“It stops the using of children as pawns in a relationship,” said Frank. “Everybody is very well

aware of parental alienation syndrome, where there’s animosity between two people who are divorcing and they end up using the children as pawns. The aspect of it transferring onto the grandparents, people just aren’t aware of it.”

Sonya said many grandparents don’t even know why access to their grandchildren was cut off, especially if they previously enjoyed a close relationship.

“It can be confusing when you don’t understand why,” she said.

“It begs the question that how is it in the best interest of the child to not have a relationship with loving and caring grandparents? I just don’t get that.”

Lea, who facilitates the Ottawa chapter of Alienated Grandparents Anonymous, a peer support group that meets twice a month, said grandparent-grandchild isolation is vastly under-reported.

“The people involved, it’s their families,” said Lea. “They’re very afraid to come out and talk, that there may be repercussions to that. They are ashamed, they are humiliated. They feel like they are the only ones but they’re not.”

Mantha estimates that more than 75,000 grandparents in Ontario have been denied access to their grandchildren, affecting more than 112,000 grandchildren.

“This bill is really focused on grandchildren’s rights as well because denying that relationship, from a perspective of a grandchild with their grandparents, is detrimental to their well-being, to their upbringing,” said Mantha during a video press conference before the second reading of the bill.

Bill 34 ‘stops the using of children as pawns in a relationship’ Continued from page 32

“We’re trying to accomplish something that is in the best interest of the child.”

Yukon, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Nova Scotia have laws that protect grandparent access to grandchildren.

“Quebec has the law that

is most favourable, the most fair; it recognizes that there is a right to have a relationship,” said Frank. “If there’s something, some reason it’s not in the best interest of the child, it goes to court and a judge decides.”

Educating around grandparent alienation is a step in the right direction to address

the issue and have people better understand the ramifications, he said.

“It’s not just a few grandmothers in the corner who want to see their grandchildren a little more – it’s much bigger than that,” Frank said.

“More than anything we want people to understand is that it’s abuse.”

Since 2005, six previous versions of the bill have died following second reading when elections were called or the legislature was prorogued.

Mantha said he hopes this is the final time a bill is proposed and that it becomes law.

“There is no reason why there should be an eighth time that we’re coming back

to present this bill,” he said.

“We’re all hoping, on behalf of all grandchildren across this province, that this is indeed the last time that this bill is going to be introduced and that it will become law.”

S AL E S DEALS, DEALS, & MORE DEALS!

Many couples today choose to live together in long-term and committed relationships without marrying. What some couples do not understand is that the law treats married and unmarried, or common-law, spouses very differently. It is important to understand these differences and how they will affect a person’s rights to property, support payments or a partner’s estate.

Some key things to remember: in Ontario, property is not automatically divided between unmarried couples if a relationship ends; unmarried spouses may have a spousal support obligation, but only if they have a child together or if they have been living together for at least three years; and only married spouses automatically have a right to share in a spouse’s estate if that spouse dies without a will, no matter how long a couple has been in a relationship or whether they have children together.

In order to protect yourself and your partner, unmarried couples are permitted to negotiate a contract–a cohabitation agreement–that lets them agree on certain rights and obligations in the relationship. A cohabitation agreement gives couples a great opportunity to carefully

consider each other’s financial situation now and in the future, and decide together how they wish to share property, pay (or not pay) support to a partner in the event of a break-up, and what happens to the estate upon the death of a partner.

It is important to plan ahead, be aware of your rights, and know what will happen if a relationship ends by choice or in the event of a death. The good news is that it’s never too late to draft a cohabitation agreement, whether you are considering moving in together, or whether you have been living together for a short or long period already. Many couples worry that having a conversation about a cohabitation agreement will be difficult and distasteful, but having these discussions now can lead to thoughtful and caring discussions about the future.

It is also important to remember that in order to have legal effect, these agreements need to have clear terms that are understood by, and achieve the intentions of, each person. This is why it is critical to have a qualified family lawyer assist in the preparation of a cohabitation agreement.

Students at Huntley Centennial to give back this Christmas Angel Tree program benefits Ottawa’s Chrysalis House

BY KELLY MCCARTHY kmccarthy@metroland.com

Students at Huntley Centennial Public School will learn a lesson in giving back this Christmas.

For the first time this year, students will participate in a school-wide Angel Tree program to benefit Chrysalis House, a women’s shelter in western Ottawa.

“The kids have been extremely receptive to the idea,” said Amanda McDonald.

“They seem to want to have that connection with the women and children at the shelter.”

McDonald, a Grade 7/8 French immersion teacher at Huntley Centennial, started the Angel Tree program with her own class eight years ago. Now, she’s expanding the program to involve each of the school’s 25 classrooms in order to provide even more gifts.

Starting in the first week of

KELLY MCCARTHY/METROLAND

Students at Huntley Centennial Public School will give back this Christmas by hosting their own school-wide Angel Tree program to benefit Chrysalis House. The program ties in with the school’s Me to We involvement, where they host local and global humanitarian efforts. From left: Madison Broadhurst, Annika Vanvliet, Nick Bradley.

December, each classroom at Huntley Centennial will have its own basket that the children will be invited to fill. The school will have between 55 to 65 Angels, which they’ll divide evenly between the classrooms.

Each classroom will likely have one mom and two or three

children each to look after, McDonald said.

“The empathy seems to really come out,” she said of the program in previous years. “I think it’s because it is kids helping kids.”

The Chrysalis House – a 25bed shelter where women can

bring their dependents for protection from violence and abuse – is run by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

It is open to any self-identified woman and her dependents.

In the past, students in McDonald’s class have donated toys, school supplies, games,

clothing, gift cards and everyday essentials. They’ve donated to Angels who have children ranging in age from infant to teenager.

The baskets for the Angel Tree program will be open to children to donate as many or as few gifts as they wish. The

program ties into the school’s existing connection to Me to We, where the school hosts multiple local and global humanitarian programs each year.

“Giving back and helping others is powerful,” McDonald said. “The children have seen that already with Me to We and now they’ll see it with the Angel Tree.”

Part of the school’s Me to We initiative is to fundraise by selling Rafiki bracelets to support a village in Haiti. They’ll be selling those bracelets between Nov. 21 and 25, and the public is encouraged to stop by the school during opening hours if they’d like to make a donation.

The Angel Tree program will run until Dec. 20, when McDonald will then collect the baskets and deliver them to Chrysalis House.

“We try to take care of the moms and the kids staying at the shelter with the Angel Tree program, especially at this time of year,” McDonald said. “The students want to make sure that those kids have something to wake up to on Christmas morning, just like they do.”

Breast cancer support group celebrates 20 years were the driving force behind important community initiatives, including the town’s nonsmoking bylaw, one of the first of its kind in the area.

“It was the breast cancer group that did that,” said Gibeau. “All council did was pass the resolution.”

Among those who spoke at the event were Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski,

BY SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It was a day to celebrate a group that has not only supported individuals with breast cancer for 20 years but also blazed trails in Arnprior and area.

The Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group hosted an open house to celebrates its 20th anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 12.

The anniversary event was held in place of the group’s annual fundraising dinner, which was held for the past 18 years.

Earlier this year, officials announced they’re open to having another group host the dinner or considering other fundraising ideas.

Elta Watt and Rita Clouthier, two of the founding members, were on hand for the event.

“This is just so special,” said Watt. “We’re so grateful for the support over the past 20 years.”

She was overwhelmed by the turnout.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid and McNab/Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett.

“Thank you from our council and the greater Arnprior community,” said Reid, who made note of the large turnout for the open house. “Keep up the good work.”

The Breast Cancer Support Group meetings will continue every third Tuesday of the month at the Arnprior Public Library from 7 to 9 p.m.

Addiction can be beat with support Continued from page 15

It has also become known as a place where families of the addicted can receive a wide range of supports in their own journey — an underserviced need Dunn first recognized early on.

“Our primary concern is the family,” said Wally Clare, Seren-

ity’s executive director. “Our emphasis, our focus, always comes back to the issue — in some ways — about family.”

“It’s everybody in that family that is affected by that disease in one way or another,” said O’Dwyer, who grew up around relatives who also abused alcohol. “(Dunn) knows how to

reach us all and she knows what people need.”

O’Dwyer went on to have two children, and as they grew up they too benefited from the various workshops Serenity provides for tots to teens.

“That’s one of the best things they have ever given me,” the Nepean resident and realtor

said of the not-for-profit charity. “They’ve grown up in Serenity Renewal, and they know they can turn to them.”

Family support is key. With it, Clare said an addicted person has a 50 per cent better chance of recovery than if they try to recover solo. But if a client doesn’t have that important net-

work, the Serenity team helps fill that gap.

“If there isn’t a family, we’ll provide you with the affirmation and support that you might be looking for,” Clare said.

O’Dwyer will never forget the day Dunn came to the hospital after she gave birth to her first child.

The progression that clients achieve is part of Dunn’s motivation, though she is the first to say that it’s not the work of miracles, but about a journey.

Serenity has become highly regarded in the 12-step community for helping people rebuild their lives, some of whom have been battling addiction for years. It is also known to help fill the gaps in the system by offering a wide range of counselling and family supports, often free of charge to those unable to pay.

“There’s nothing else like them,” said O’Dwyer, who has served as a Serenity board member.

New alcohol policy adds a little water to wine

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan by the city to loosen up the rules that allow alcohol to be served and consumed during some street festivals doesn’t quite go far enough, the community and protective services committee heard on Nov. 17.

Jasna Jennings, executive director of the Byward Market Business Improvement Area, was one of a few delegations that called for the city to instate a Bourbon street model.

Jennings used the example of a patron guzzling their drink on a patio in order to hit the street to see a show.

“Let ‘s not perpetuate the notion that Ottawa is the city fun forgot,” she said.

She said this practice encourages binge drinking – rather than discourages it.

The proposal, brought on by changes to Ontario liquor laws, would include allowing bars and restaurants to expand their patios.

Alcohol would be served within certain cordoned-off areas for special events.

Paramedic chief Anthony Di Monte said Ottawa police were not

in favour of a Bourbon Street style, and cordoning off a specific area allowed more control.

The city’s alcohol permit policy hasn’t been updated in a dozen years.

Despite providing the site plan – which is illustrations of the different kinds of scenarios for alcohol permits – to business improvement areas a year ago, the report in its entirety wasn’t made available until Nov. 10.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that didn’t seem enough time for the members to go over the proposal.

“We have known 2017 was coming for several years,” Chiarelli said of the push to have an updated policy in place before 2017 events start.

Steve Monuk, representing Ottawa Venues York Entertainment, said he’s all for the part of the proposal that gives delegated authority to staff to grant the applications.

Under the current process, he has to submit his Canada Day application in April and doesn’t hear back until June 27.

Committee chair Coun. Diane Deans, was among the committee members that identified some problems with the public consultation and the language around the four

site scenarios included in the report.

“I understand there’s some urgency in passing this policy in advance of 2017, but there are some loose ends here,” she said.

Di Monte said committee was hearing divergent opinions and that there’s no way to please everyone.

“We would like to move forward with policy or it will be a Hodge podge for staff in 2017,” he said.

Deans said there does seem to be some differences of opinion that likely won’t get resolved before the Nov. 23 council meeting.

“I guess we will all have to take a little water with our wine,” she said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said staff missed the boat and could’ve included the ability to name an area a temporary park – to put forward a Dragon’s Boat-type model. “Certainly we are a fun city,” he said. “We do so safely.”

Board of Health chair Coun.

Shad Qadri said he wants to see a recent report on changing the culture to one of moderation when it comes to alcohol included in the policy.

The committee chose to send the report to council without a recommendation in the hopes that some of the more contentious issues could be ironed out beforehand.

Iraqi-Canadians gather to celebrate victories against terrorism

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Abdul Kareem Kaab was jailed four times as a political prisoner under the regime of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.

The longest stretch behind bars was in the former Abu Ghraib prison. Once freed following his last stint in 1991, he said life in Baghdad was never the same.

“It was not a real life for me and my family. You are always hidden,” he said, adding the government refused to hire him as a civil engineer and he was required to check in weekly at the police department.

“It’s a normal story for Iraqis,” said Kaab, who returned home to Baghdad and was appointed to foreign affairs roles beginning in 2009 under a new government.

He was posted to Ottawa in March as the Iraqi ambassador to Canada. “Many people have suffered a lot.”

But for the first time in a long time Iraqis are celebrating, which is why the ambassador welcomed upwards of 100 Iraqi-Canadians – many of whom live in south Ottawa – to the Jim Durrell Community Centre on Nov. 11 to celebrate the advances made by Iraqi liberation forces.

Earlier this month, these troops, with the support of international coalition forces, have been fighting their way into Mosul, considered a

stronghold of Daesh jihadists.

Upper Hunt Club resident Nuur Nury still has relatives living in Baghdad, where he was born. Nury’s parents fled the country and came to Canada as refugees in 1988.

“For me as a hockey-loving Iraqi-Canadian, who has lived here all my life (the celebration is) exactly what I was looking for to tie the knot between Remembrance Day as a Canadian and what the Iraqis are fighting for right now – freedom,” said Nury, the night’s emcee. Calling the Iraqi military progress “a miracle,” Kaab said June 9, 2014, marked the start of the fall of large Iraqi provinces, home to at least a third of the country’s population or more than 9.5 million people. “The barbaric groups – gangs – of the terrorists of Daesh were at the gates of Baghdad,” he said, before blaming corruption and raising questions as to how they were to gain control so quickly. “We lost all these areas without any war. It has been given, has been sold.

“The plan was to wipe Iraq out off the map of the world, to get rid of – forever – Mesopotamia. And they almost succeeded.” But a call to fight back was heard by millions of Iraqis, starting in Baghdad.

The army and police began to take shape and with the help of mobilization forces city after city was freed from the terrorists’ grip. Now all eyes are on northern Iraq, where the

country borders Turkey and Syria.

“Our troops now are fighting there, have recaptured, reconquered six districts, including Mosul itself,” Kaab said.

But there is still work to do to prevent further destruction of cities and historical and religious gathering places, as well as to free Iraqis, he said.

The ambassador noted the images that had played across a projector screen: bulldozers tearing down ancient places of worship, mosques and monuments, masked men about to behead civilians or shoot boys for watching soccer on TV, women and girls being abducted, people burnt alive, stoned to death, executed, drowned and thrown from rooftops.

Other heart-wrenching images depict men training young boys for suicide missions.

“It is not a movie,” said Kaab. “No, it is real life.”

Manotick resident Paul Hindo, who was born in Baghdad, took part in the celebration to honour those who have served. He said he closely monitors what is happening in his birthplace.

“There’s no such thing as a good war, but this is a just war,” said Hindo. “Terrorism – it’s one of those cancers that we have to get rid of.”

Optimism reigns now that Iraqis from different sects, regions and religions are working with the national army and police to fight back, Kaab

Brig.-Gen. Jennie Carignan, Canadian Army operations chief of staff, speaks with Iraqi Ambassador to Canada Abdul Kareem Kaab (right), and Iraqi-Canadian Paul Hindo, of Manotick, during a celebration at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre on Nov. 11. said, adding that once Mosul is secured, and other small terrorist-held pockets fall, rebuilding and unification efforts can begin.

“This is the least we can do in paying back the sacrifices of these martyrs who have fallen to liberate our territories and our people,” he said.

The Institute on Governance is working behind the scenes to support those rebuilding efforts. Nathan Gorall, executive director of the independent, Canada-based not-for-profit, said a project is in the works to help create and support Iraq’s constitution to ensure much-needed social, municipal, housing and edu-

cation services get to the people who need it most and that oil revenues are better shared.

“Our job … is to actually start thinking about the future and the maintenance of a country that includes Sunnis and Shiites and Kurds across the great country of Iraq,” Gorall said, adding the Canadian government is providing $5.5 million for the project.

As well, the Canadian Army’s highest-ranking woman in the combat arms, Brig.Gen. Jennie Carignan, told the crowd that the Canadian Armed Forces are proud to be part of the efforts to bring peace to Iraq. “I think that Canada and Iraq and all the

people here in this room, the biggest thing that we have in common is hope for peace in Iraq,” Carignan said. “Our sincere hope is that all these military victories set the foundation for a bright future for Iraq.” Kaab thanked the Canadian military for its support, for providing humanitarian aid and hundreds of soldiers who are training Iraqi forces, for being part of an international coalition and for de-mining liberated cities.

Canada and Iraq have many principles in common, in addition to being friends and allies, which are working “to help Iraq to stand again,” said Kaab.

Butter tart maple apple squares are easier to make than you might think Here’s proof you don’t have to make fancy tart shells to indulge in Canada’s glorious butter tart goodness. These squares are still ooey gooey, yet come with the benefits of juicy apples. Just follow our easy recipe – no rolling pin needed.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes Baking Time: about 50 minutes Serves: 12 INGREDIENTS

Base: • 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour • 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar • 3/4 cup (175 mL) butter, at room temperature Topping: • 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, at room temperature • 1 cup (250 mL) packed light brown sugar • 4 Ontario Eggs • 3/4 cup (175 mL) maple syrup • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • 2 cups (500 mL) peeled and diced apples (e.g. Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Northern Spy, Crispin) • 2/3 cup (150 mL) golden raisins or chopped nuts

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Base: In large bowl, stir flour and sugar together. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives, then work with your fingers until crumbly. Press evenly into buttered 13x9-inch (3 L) metal baking pan. Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for about 20 minutes or until pale golden. Remove from oven.

Topping: Meanwhile, in large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Stir in apples and raisins.

Spread evenly over warm base. Return to oven; bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown on top and set in the centre.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, peace of mind may come your way after you square away all of your finances and begin developing a budget for the year to come. Enlist some professional help if necessary.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Introspection leads you on a quest to find a creative outlet, Taurus. Play to your strengths and ideas will surface, or check in with friends for inspiration.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, stick with a course of action even if you have hit a rocky road.

Your efforts thus far have been extensive, and you will soon see a light at the end of the tunnel.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if family is not around, surround yourself with friends. This support system will prove invaluable. Express your gratitude to friends for their unwavering support.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a different way of thinking may be just the thing you need to solve a Here’s How It Works: problem that’s been more puzzling than you expected. Ask others for their point of view.

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 VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric Virgo, before you can be honest with others, you have to be honest with clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! yourself. Take a look at things you might want to change and then forge ahead in that direction.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you take a roundabout route, you will still end up at the finish line. And the new perspective this route provides may benefit you in the long run.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results can’t be denied. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in your career.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Sagittarius. Call it stubbornness or just dedication, but your ambition may open doors that remain closed to others.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone close to you is interested in learning more about what makes you tick. New friendships may develop this week, so approach situations with an open mind.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, resist the temptation to bite off more than you can chew.

While you might want to prove your ability to multitask, don’t do so at a detriment to your health.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, even if you have rest and relaxation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in a different direction.
