Manotick boundaries may shift

Geoff [email protected]

The Village of Manotick could get slightly smaller in the next few years, residents heard on Dec. 6 at a meeting to discuss the ongoing Village Plan Review.

The City of Ottawa is currently reviewing the of-fi cial plans for 24 of its 26 villages.

The review is intended to inform the next update to the city’s offi cial plan, scheduled for 2013.

Held at the Manotick arena, the meeting was the follow-up to a session in the spring, where city staff asked residents for feedback about their desired direction for the village.

One of the issues that needs to be addressed when the plan is updated, residents heard, is a number of dispari-ties between the village’s land use planning documents, and the city’s.

As a result, the village could lose, on paper, a sliver of land between River Road and the Rideau River, stretch-ing between Bankfi eld and Barnsdale Roads.

That’s because, while the city’s offi cial plan desig-nates it as general rural land within the city, the village’s plan identifi es it as belonging to Manotick under the City of Nepean’s offi cial plan, a document that is no longer relevant.

Jeff Ostafi chuk, a land use planner with the city, said it’s important to bring the two documents into line, even though shifting the boundary should have little practical impact.

“It’s more of a clean-up and housekeeping thing,” Ostafi chuk said.

City staff is proposing to change the boundary Man-otick’s village plan instead of the city’s plan because it is an easier document to amend, he said.

At the meeting, some residents decried the move, saying it couldinterfere with putting in a pathway along that bank of the river.

“If you take that out you then lose an absolutely vital linkage,” one man said during the presentation.

“All that is part of Man-otick,” he continued. “If you take that out, you’re going to get a lynch mob.”

Increasing the connec-tivity of recreational paths within the village was a priority identifi ed in the presentation.

Ostafi chuk said the local desire for a pathway along this stretch of land has been on the radar of city staff for some time.

“It’s not necessarily wheth-er it’s in the village or not, it’s whether the designation allows for a pathway, and that’s something residents should be asking the city,” Ostafi chuk said.

Ostafi chuk said if the pro-posed amendment is made, the land would be desig-nated for general rural use, with the fl ood plains and unstable slopes identifi ed where present.

That designation may per-mit the creation of a pathway, he said.

Residents hear update on village plan review

Greely Elementary School celebrates new playstructureBy Dosi Cotroneo

EMC News - What started off as a dire situation turned into a day of celebration as staff and students of Greely Elementary School cut the ribbon on their brand new playstructure.

“The old playstructure was built in the 1980s and we could get by using it for 15 to 18 children for a short time,” said Helen Jarvis, Greely Ele-mentary principal. “With full-day Kindergarten this year, there are more than 50 stu-dents all wanting to access the structure during their lunch hour. It just could no longer accommodate that number of eager active children.”

Jarvis explained the Greely Elementary school council, representing approximately 125 families, had been dili-gently raising funds for a playstructure for over three years. After accessing all the resources they knew of, they arrived to the stage where they had to take their search out to the greater community to work along with them.

“An age-appropriate play-structure was an essential component in our commit-

ment to being a healthy and active school,” said Jarvis.

Although the school held a number of fundraisers and raised $11,000, an enormous feat considering there are only 200 students enrolled at Greely Elementary, the school council found itself $10,000 short of its goal. En-ter residents Marco and Kim Scapillati of Scapillati Floor-ing. When they learned about the playstructure plight, they kicked into high gear and

donated the $10,000 to make the playstructure project pos-sible. On Nov. 10, the recess bell rang and the children raced outside to enjoy their fi rst playtime on their brand new safe playstructure.

“The kids are just loving it,” said Jarvis. “Now they have a signifi cantly larger space, fenced in with a play area that includes a garden, sand, and asphalt for chalk games.”

Submitted photoThe staff and students of Greely Elementary School have a lot to be smiling about these days. After much hard work raising funds for their new playstructure, their dream came true as the new playstructure was offi cially opened on Thursday, Dec. 1.

As staff are hoping to prepare all the village plan amendments before taking them to council, it is likely to be two or three years be-fore any changes are be made, he said.

The amendment to the vil-lage boundaries is one of a number tweaks staff are rec-ommending for the village’s planning documents.

Another is to replace the word “family” – as in “single family unit” – with “dwelling.”

“It’s illegal for us to have ‘family’ in there,” said Rose Kung, the city planner who led the presentation.

“We don’t plan for families, we plan for land use.”

Kung summarized other priorities staff identifi ed after public consultations.

These included conditions for pedestrians in the village core, parking, future devel-opment on the Watson’s Mill site, truck traffi c on Bridge Street, and the extension of Van Vliet Road to ease South Island traffi c.

She said staff is recom-mending a study be done on pathway connectivity in the village core.

Information collected about the idea of an underground parking lot at Watson’s Mill was passed on to the city’s real estate department, she said.

Kung also said an environ-mental assessment is to be done on the Van Vliet project.

South Island traffi cRideau-Goulbourn ward

councillor Scott Moffatt ex-plained to residents that he continues to work on the South Island traffi c situation with city staff.

“This project would see South River Drive shifted over, creating a new entrance with a set of lights,” he said. “We have fi nalized the main part of the environmental assessment. The costs have been fi nalized and we are still

hopeful that the project will be completed by 2012, although nothing is concrete.”

City staff is encourag-ing residents to send them their feedback on the village plan review, and will be col-lecting them until the end of December.

Residents are encouraged to send comments to [email protected].

An offi cial ribbon-cut-ting ceremony was held on Thursday, Dec. 1, with the Scapilllatti’s in attendance. The junior and senior kinder-garten students showed their gratitude by singing to the generous donors.

A plaque was hung to recognize the support of the Greely community in making the structure a reality.

“Huge thanks to Marco and Kim Scapillati of Scapil-lati Flooring for their gener-ous donation, to GESC who faithfully kept this dream alive through their commit-ment and their fundraising,

and to the Greely Lions Club, City of Ottawa and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board who provided grants,” said Jarvis.

Located on Parkway Road in the Village of Greely, the central location of the play structure will make it at-tractive for all of the chil-dren in Greely to come out and play.

Tommy Glatzmayer named tomorrow’s difference makerBy Dosi Cotroneo

EMC News - He was hon-oured with the title, “Differ-ence Maker” and for Man-otick’s young author Tommy Glatzmayer, the Andrew Fleck Child Care Services’ 100 Difference Makers Con-ference was another day to stand up and talk about his journey with his beloved sister, Melanie.

When Melanie Glatzmayer was three years old, doctors diagnosed her with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CDLS). At the time, she was among only 92 cases known to exist in all of Canada. The gene that causes CDLS was discovered in 2004.

Symptoms of CDLS in-clude delayed growth, de-velopmental delays, cer-tain physical characteristics (which vary, but can include missing limbs), severe gastro-esophageal refl ux requiring corrective surgery, and sei-zures. Glasses and hearing aids she received four years ago worked miracles as Mela-nie became far more in touch with the world around her.

Melanie has bravely faced 13 surgeries, and had to face many days away from school.

It wasn’t until Melanie started to get teased at school that Tommy realized the chil-dren did not understand the one difference that set his sister apart from their peers – 10-year-old Melanie has a

rare syndrome.That day was the catalyst

for young Tommy, a Grade 2 student at St. Leonard’s Cath-olic School in Manotick. He decided right then that a book had to be written to explain Melanie’s syndrome. Ms. Wendling and her son got to work on their book, Tommy and Melanie have two pet rats and one syndrome.

The book was launched on the last day of school last year and the photo-illustrated story features Tommy and Melanie and their two pet rats, as they encounter one adventure after another, in-cluding a car crash, a neigh-bourhood bully, and a big surprise ending.

The two-day confer-ence coincided with Andrew Fleck’s 100th anniversary celebrations and was held at the Hampton Inn Confer-ence Centre in Ottawa, from Nov. 3 to 5.

The panel introduced ex-ceptional children and youth who through their stories, dis-played the signifi cant contri-butions the young difference makers have already made to their communities at large. Their motivation and abilities inspired all.

“You defi nitely are the difference makers at such a young age and we are very proud to have you participate and share your stories with the conference delegates,”

said Julie Kanter, resource consultant team leader.

Established in 1911, Andrew Fleck Child Care Ser-vices is one of the oldest and most diversifi ed non-profi t, charitable, multi-service early learning, child care and

family support organizations in Ontario.

Operating 11 programs in six locations, they provide a continuum of childcare, in-formation, support and early years services to over 4,300 children and 27,000 families

each year.The key to their continued

success is their unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation and inclusion in meeting the diverse and changing needs of families and children.

Watson’s Mill lecture series begins fourth seasonBy Dosi Cotroneo

EMC News - The Truth to Bioenergy.

That was the topic for the evening as Watson’s Mill pre-sented the fourth season of its successful lecture series. Manotick resident Michael Oelck was guest speaker at the Carriage House, and his discussion sparked much interest and many questions.

“This engaging talk pro-vided an excellent overview to the different approaches to bioenergy and the use of biomass,” said Cam Truman, Watson’s Mill education and interpretation offi cer. “Guests left the carriage shed in his-toric Dickinson Square with a better understanding of the science involved in the pro-duction of bioenergy and the current trends of alterna-tive energy sources such as ethanol and biodiesel.”

Oelck explained how bio-mass is essentially organic ma-terial and the use of biomass to create sustainable energy is a questionable and sometimes

controversial topic.“According to the

Centre for Energy, biomass

remains an important part of our country’s energy picture, supplying about 4.7 per cent

of our primary energy de-mand, the second largest source of renewable energy

after hydroelectricity,” said Truman. “However, the use of biomass goes beyond just the burning of wood products to generate heat and electric-ity but takes us to the cellular level of extracting liquid fuels from crops such as corn and straw. In fact, starch based plastics are more frequently seen in stores these days as biodegradable garbage bags. This ignites the question, ‘Is sugar the new oil?’”

Truman explained how un-der the perfect mix of graphs, pictures and labels, Oelck pro-vided a balanced look at the bioenergy situation in Canada and kept the audience’s atten-tion with an optimistic look at the future of renewable energy sources. His intellec-tually stimulating conversa-

tions were well adapted for the non-scientist and created opportunity to ask, “Does the development of the bioenergy industry and their quest for energy rick crops take good agricultural land from food production?”

“The answer to this ques-tion is what sparks the contro-versy,” said Truman. “Oelck did make it certain that we have a great country with extraordinary opportunities for the development of our abundant natural resources and fertile land, however, it will take our great leaders and educated public to do this in a viable, environmentally sound way.”

Reporter learns fi rst-hand how volunteers keep rural seniors runningBy Geoff [email protected]

EMC News - “So you’re going out with a couple of old

coots today?”We’re just barely in the

driveway, and already John Sadler is living up to his fi re-

cracker reputation.I step out of the car’s pas-

senger side just as the 88-year-old appears.

Walker in tow, he is grin-ning as he comes around the corner of the house where he rents a room, about eight clicks south of Manotick.

December hits tomor-row, but there’s still a poppy pinned to the top of the winter hat he wears, earfl aps tied up. He also sports a long bright red scarf.

From the driver’s side, the other so-called “old coot” comes around and puts the walker in the trunk.

Bob Dance says hello, rais-ing his voice for the sake of the Second World War veteran and his two hearing aids.

Bob is a volunteer driver with the Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and has been since 2004.

He has driven nearly 15,000 kilometers in that time, each one detailed in his logbook: a tattered green Duotang kept in an old envelope addressed to the bank where he worked for 23 years.

Weathered like leather, the envelope is covered in black-ink equations, converting each of those kilometers from the miles of his American car’s odometer.

This year, he and 71 other volunteers were a saving grace for 300-some seniors living in rural Ottawa, who can’t drive themselves but, like John, want to maintain their independence.

“I don’t want to live in the city and the only reason I can survive here is because of

volunteer drivers,” says John from the front seat, as we’re driving north into the village.

Today, he’s off to an op-tometrist appointment. Gro-ceries, he says, can wait until tomorrow.

“If I had to rely on taxis, fi rstly the cost would be phe-nomenal, and secondly, we don’t have any.”

Bob and John have been driving together since July 15, 2007 – a fact checked in Bob’s logbook. Since they live just down the block from each other, the pairing was natural.

They keep each other well occupied, driving to regu-lar exercise classes, grocery stores, medical appointments, and once into Ottawa to buy the adult tricycle with which John cruises around the neigh-bourhood when the weather’s warmer.

Driving north now, into the village, it’s clear from the chatter that even the little things matter.

And John’s regular exercise class is no little matter

“When you’re over 40 like I am,” John grins, “if you don’t continue to exercise your joints, muscles, sinews and your bones, you’re just going to shrivel up.”

From the driver seat, Bob notes that many of the volun-teer drivers that keep John and others on-the-go are, like him, retirees themselves. While this gives many the spare time they need to lend a hand,

it also means ROSSS often runs short of volunteers when winter hits, and the snowbirds migrate south.

“But they won’t see you stuck,” John chimes in. He even remembers one time when he was picked up by a director, because no volunteers were around.

The rewards of the volu-teer’s job, says Bob, are many, but they aren’t tangible. The small fee the rider pays barely covers the mileage money the driver gets.

But, it occurs to me in the backseat, Bob and John exchange a more important currency: stories.

“It is incredible how much know-how there is in any and every community,” Bob says, after we hear the tale of John’s career working for the rail-road, eventually revolutioniz-ing safety standards that were barely there before.

(“I left school, went down to the railroad offi ce, signed on and one day later I retired,” John laughs.)

We arrive at the optom-etrist’s offi ce. John puts his arm through mine and, togeth-er, we ramble up the ramp, me grumbling about how hard do they have to make it for seniors to get inside.

John isn’t phased.The woman ahead of us –

also “over 40,” as John would say – isn’t having any easier of a time, but she and John share a laugh when we fi nally make it to the door.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

United Way campaign a success for everyone

EMC Editorial – Congratulations, United Way Ottawa!Following the close of its offi cial 2011 fundraising campaign

on Thursday, Dec. 1, the United Way announced it successfully raised $31,529,000 – money that will be invested into the com-munity, making Ottawa a better place for everyone who calls Canada’s capital home.

While this amount is somewhat shy of the campaign’s $33.5 million goal, it is still a noteworthy fi gure. Throughout the Unit-ed Way’s storied history, this is still the most money raised dur-ing the organization’s annual 10-week campaign period. Echo-ing comments made by 2011 campaign chair Max Keeping, we applaud the countless United Way volunteers whose enthusiasm and dedication throughout the campaign (and beyond) ensured its triumph. At the same time, however, we can’t forget about the many individuals, businesses and other organizations that contributed to this important cause.

Financial donations, along with fundraising initiatives, were ongoing throughout the campaign, making the United Way, all it represents and all of us who support the organization’s efforts very proud.

Long-standing traditionAccording to the organization’s offi cial website, for more

than 75 years, United Way Ottawa has brought people and re-sources together to build a strong, healthy, safe community. Although best known for raising money and distributing the funds to its various member agencies, the site goes on to state the United Way’s true business is engagement — providing ways in which contributors can achieve their aspirations for the community. We’re convinced it is groups such as the United Way that truly give Ottawa such a positive reputation. For every “bad news” story you hear, there is twice as many “good news” stories. This story about the United Way is a perfect example of this. It truly illustrates what a caring community we live in and proves the spirit of giving is alive and strong – and not just because we’re in the midst of the Christmas season.

Even greater news is United Way Ottawa may still be able to reach its fi nancial goal before all is said and done. Yes, Dec. 1 did mark the offi cial close of the campaign, but the books will remain open until March 2012 to allow for the comple-tion of various workplace campaigns and other related efforts. Come on Ottawa! Let’s do our part to ensure the United Way continues to do its part!

Reader suggests new LRT routeDEAR EDITOR:The city is still deliberating on where Ottawa’s much-needed

new LRT route is going to be.Ottawa’s transit system already serves its citizenry very well

between Kanata and Orleans and South Keys, along the existing transitway and Ottawa River Parkway, which only comprises Ottawa North.

Ottawa really needs an express transit system between its big ticket tourist landmarks such as Scotiabank Place and the Ottawa International Airport.

I propose that this route is feasible by utilizing a strategic combination starting point at Scotiabank Place, down the 417 to Bayshore Shopping Centre, toward West Hunt Club – Hunt Club Roads and/or along the Via Rail train track, stopping by Algonquin College, before continuing on to the airport.

While the area between Kanata, Barrhaven Centre and Hunt Club Road is now sparsely populated, it is only logical that it will only be a brief matter of time before Ottawa South real estate valuably prospers.

Thank you for your consideration of this world-class, sustainable and affordable LRT solution.

Michael Pastien,Capital Physics,Ottawa

PS: While this vision of mine is a totally unsolicited one, and I don’t expect to receive any payment for it, I would cer-tainly be highly thankful of a fi nancial reward or bursary from a combination of areas.

Roundabout navigation far from rocket scienceEMC Lifestyle - I was ap-

proaching a City of Ottawa roundabout the other day in my car when I became con-fused as to how to navigate such a unique traffi c infra-structure feature.

Luckily a radio ad came on just in the nick of time to shed some much-needed light on my predicament.

In the city-commissioned ad, a young couple – let’s call them Dick and Jane – fi nd themselves in the same situa-tion as I was, driving toward a roundabout and wonder-ing what to do when they get there.

Does Dick subsequently plough through the centre of the roundabout, taking out a school bus full of doe-eyed urchins on their way to a soup kitchen prayer session?

Thankfully no, as both Dick and Jane explain to each other that they had recently vis-ited the City of Ottawa web-site to learn how to properly navigate a roundabout.

These online visits were apparently done separately, in their spare time. Perhaps at coffee shops on laptops. I’m picturing cappuccinos and a perfectly coiffed hairstyle on her side of it and fashion-able two-day-old stubble and a leather bomber jacket with

scarf on his end.As a result of their stilted,

un-engaging in-car conversa-tion and the knowledge ob-tained from the website, the couple successfully makes it through the gauntlet - sorry, roundabout – and presum-able continue safely all the way home, where they no doubt watched Glee and ate Thai food.

What I’m trying to say, in a roundabout way, is that the radio spot is insufferably lame and achingly fake sounding.

So what, you say? Surely I’ve been exposed to bad commercials and public ser-vice announcements before.

Yes, I have, and I hated ev-ery cringe-inducing minute of them (I’m looking at you, Tim Hortons).

But just because the public

is used to terrible acting and lame premises in ads doesn’t mean the trend has to con-tinue. Really, the city couldn’t have come up with something better than this? Panicky peo-ple reaching for the volume knobs in their cars in response to this ad will likely be more of a danger on the roads than those who are unfamiliar with roundabouts.

Another good question is why we need this ad in the fi rst place. Roundabouts have been in use in the National Capital Region (formerly Ottawa-Hull) for years, from Kemptville to Barrhaven to the Experimental Farm and Gatineau. In Hull you can fi nd four of them in a 300-square-metre area of Boulevard des Allumettieres and Boulevard

Saint Joseph.It seems the addition of

one of these Einstein-level brainteasers to Orleans was the catalyst for much of the recent confusion.

Approaching vehicles yield to those already in the roundabout.

There, that’s all you need to know. It’s not rocket surgery, or something like that.

Will public service spots improve? While municipali-ties and governments should try hard for audio excellence, no doubt some ads will be tolerable and many others will be awful in both idea and execution.

Still, there’s no harm in brainstorming and trying harder.

And to Dick and Jane, shame on you.

Strange but true

Mary shares her wealth much to brothers’ dismay

EMC Lifestyle - It was my sister Audrey’s idea. She called a meeting. She had to wait until Mother was mak-ing a trip to Briscoe’s Gen-eral Store and Father was in the barns. It was a Saturday, and as soon as the brothers had come in from doing the chores, Audrey herded us all around the kitchen table and she stood at one end, just as if she was a member of parliament.

I had no idea exactly what a member of parliament did, but I was pretty sure he conducted meetings and made everyone sit up and pay attention to what he was saying. Just like my sister Audrey.

“I have an idea,” she start-ed in a very serious voice. “When I was in the Five and Dime last week I saw some-thing I thought Mother would love for Christmas.” She paused for effect. “Of course, it cost too much for me to buy it. Alone. That’s when I got this idea. I think, instead of each of us buying her a gift, we should put our money to-gether, and buy her what I saw last week.”

“How much?” Emer-son, always concerned about his money, asked. “What was it?” Earl wanted to know.

Audrey pulled herself up like she was about to make an earth-shattering an-nouncement. “It’s a mouth organ. Now, it isn’t just an ordinary mouth organ. It has two rows of holes instead of one. Mother has never had a mouth organ like that. Now, this one wasn’t cheap. It was 75 cents.”

Emerson drew in his breath, Everett let out a low whistle, and Earl said, “holy jeepers.” Not to be left out of the dis-cussion, I asked Audrey where she thought she was going to get 75 cents.

“I just fi nished telling you!” she yelled. “We’ll pay for it together. Instead of each of us buying some-thing for her, we’ll buy one thing. Something she would really love and would never dream of buying for her-self.” I mulled this over in my mind.

Audrey went on to describe the mouth organ. She said, not only did it have two rows to blow in, it came in a blue velvet box. Well, that was the clincher. The case for the one Mother had now was hanging by a thread, she had to keep an elastic around it to keep it closed.

As if it had already been decided on, Audrey ordered us all to go and get our mon-ey. She had hers in her apron pocket, mine was tied in the corner of my hanky in my wash stand, and the boys kept theirs on the window sill in their bedroom. She told us to hurry, or Mother would be walking in on the meeting.

Audrey fi gured if we all chipped in 15 cents that would cover the mouth organ and the ribbon. Emerson wanted to know why we had to have ribbon. Audrey ignored him.

All of us counted out our change, and laid 15 cents in front of Audrey. When I looked down at what I had left, I had three big brown pennies, two nickels and two dimes. It had taken me months to accumulate that much.

Audrey said she would buy the mouth organ the next time she went into Renfrew, and we would all put our name on the card when she got it wrapped. Which is exactly what happened. We again had to wait until Mother was out of the house so that Au-drey could call another meet-ing. This one was to view the mouth organ.

And there it was. Exactly like my sister had described it. Shiny silver, two rows of holes to create the music, and the most beautiful deep blue vel-vet case to keep it in. Seventy-fi ve cents was a princely sum, but we all agreed it was worth every penny!

However, that left little

money left for us to buy our other presents. And that’s when Audrey came up with another idea. That Christ-mas, if we didn’t have enough money, we would simply hand over one of our own treasures in our gift exchange. I wondered if we could ask for something specifi c. For instance, could I ask for a pair of Audrey’s new lisle stock-ings? “Certainly not,” Audrey said. I couldn’t think of one thing I wanted that my broth-ers owned. And what would I give each of them?

Well, Audrey was no prob-lem. She loved a broach Aunt Lizzie had sent me in the hand-me-down box. Af-ter racking my brain for days, I fi nally decided, since I had three of those big brown pen-nies, I would wrap up one each for Everett, Emerson and Earl. And I still had enough money left to buy Father a red and white polka-dot handker-chief! Mr. Briscoe had a stack of them near the overalls at the General Store, and they only cost nine cents!

When I made my pur-chase, I had enough money left to buy myself a few slices of bologna which I loved even more than any of the candy displayed on the counter in the big glass jars. I thought of wrapping it up, keeping it until Christmas morning, and putting a card on it that said “To Mary, from Mary”. But of course, once Mr. Briscoe put it in brown paper, tied it with string and handed it to me, I knew it would never see the end of our lane. I was eating it before I set-tled into the cutter for the ride home.

And then it was Christmas morning. Mother loved her new mouth organ, Father im-mediately put the red hanky in his overall pocket, and Au-drey pinned on the broach. But the brothers seemed less than pleased with the big brown pennies.

One each. It was then I used one of Mother’s often- said comments when there was no money for frivolity, looking them right in the eye I said, “Don’t you know there is a Depression on?”

OCDSB re-elects chair, vice-chairSpecial to the EMC

EMC News – The chair and the vice-chair of the Ot-tawa-Carleton District School Board will be familiar faces around the board table as both the chair, Jennifer McKenzie and the vice-chair, Bronwyn Funiciello were re-elected by their fellow trustees, at the board’s Dec. 6 annual organizational meeting.

McKenzie, who represents zone 10 Somerset/ Kitchis-sippi, has been active and energetic in improving com-munication, consultation, and cooperation with parents and school councils. She has reached out to ensure the in-creasingly rich diversity of our community is refl ected in our school activities.

“I am honoured to be re-elected as chair of the Ot-tawa Carleton District School Board,” McKenzie said. “It is an exciting time to be on the board of such a dy-namic and forward thinking

organization. We have ac-complished a great deal work-ing closely with our talented staff already and have even more exciting plans for the board in the coming year to enhance student achievement, well-being, and leadership.”

Funiciello was fi rst elected in 2003 and represents zone 6 the Rideau-Rockcliffe/Alta Vista area. She has long been known as an advocate for pub-lic education at community, board, and provincial levels. She believes one of her great-est accomplishments has been effectively reconnecting her schools and community with the school board. She pro-motes the need for a system-wide perspective but under-stands that each community has unique attributes. Trustee Funiciello supports offering a wide variety of program op-tions, so that all students can reach their potential.

“I am very pleased to be re-elected as the vice-chair and

I look forward to continuing to work in collaboration with the chair, my fellow trust-ees, staff, students, and their families,” Funiciello said. “I believe that together we will accomplish much for the stu-dents of our District and those students will go on to create a better world for all of us.”

The current term for trust-ees is Dec. 1, 2010 to Nov. 30, 2014. However, the chair and the vice-chair are elected annually.

The Ottawa-Carleton Dis-trict School Board of Trust-ees is made up of 12 trustees elected by zone and two stu-dent trustees. The trustees are responsible for overseeing a thriving and progressive educational system, which serves more than 72,000 students in 147 schools and sites. Trustees are empow-ered under the Education Act to set policy for the operation of all public schools in the Ottawa area.

United Way campaign sets a new recordBy Diane [email protected]

EMC News -- $31,529,000. Congratulations, Ottawa – you done good.

More funds than ever be-fore were raised by the Unit-ed Way this year, setting a 10-week campaign record.

The announcement was made by 2011 campaign chair and CTV Ottawa’s Communi-ty Ambassador Max Keeping at an achievement celebration held at the Canadian Museum of Nature on Thursday, Dec. 1. Supporters rose to their feet in a standing ovation to cheer the results as coloured streamers arced across the stage.

“What an amazing 10 weeks this has been. I have had the time of my life and thousands of others have also been on an incredible ride,” Keeping told the gathering, thanking do-nors for their generosity and his co-chairs, “the thousands of you who put your heart and soul into this year’s cam-paign. Your dedication and passion for community have inspired thousands of people to donate.

“When you see the many faces of Ottawa, the heart-breaking and genuine needs of too many and the aston-ishing generosity of so many – what an amazing place we call home. What an amaz-ing hometown we have. I love it.”

The majority of the funds were raised by the region’s public sector. Last week, the 2011 Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Cam-paign (GCWCC) announced it raised an impressive $23.1 million, more half of United Way Ottawa’s achievement to date. Keeping called the group the most generous workplace donors in the entire nation, telling the crowd GCWCC promised another million-dol-lar donation before the books were closed.

He told the EMC the aver-age donation from a public sector employee last year was $303, attributing this generosity to daily efforts on the part of federal employ-ees to improve the country as well as their keen awareness of the community in which they live.

“United Way is the biggest reflector of the city’s generos-ity. On any given night there’s usually five major fund-rais-ers and on 20 weekends of the year we donate more than a million dollars to charities. We volunteer more hours on a per capita basis than anywhere else in the country. With Chil-dren’s Hospital (CHEO) we give more per capita than 169 others on the continent. The statistical evidence is there,” Keeping said. “I call it a civic culture of compassion. Every city, every community you go into, people are generous and they’re caring, but this city, it just seems to part of the DNA. We do it: we recognize there’s a need and we go out to meet that need. It’s part of our culture. When I look at all the other major metropolitan cities, we’re far and away the most caring.”

Other highlights of this

year’s campaign include the high-tech community rais-ing more than $2-million, the first sector to hit the $1-mil-lion dollar mark in the first five weeks of the campaign; Scotiabank raised more than $310,000 this year through their workplace campaign, corporate gift and charity auction; Belair Direct and JP Morgan Chase employees more than doubled their cam-paign goals, raising $69,700 and $40,000 respectively; and Turnbull School and Heenan Blakie LLP each had a 100 per cent participation rate from their employees.

While the sum was stellar, it fell short of the ambitious $33.5-million target set by

the agency Sept. 22. Keep-ing, who has volunteered with the agency for more than 20 years, said it wasn’t unusual for the United Way to come up short by the end of the of-ficial campaign, pointing out the last time the goal had been reached by touchdown was in 2006.

United Way board chair Rick Gibbons reiterated the message of optimism in his ad-dress saying, “The campaign will roll forward for another few weeks. We encourage those campaigns that haven’t wrapped up to keep going, maybe we even have a couple out there that are just getting underway. So we sometimes hold ourselves a little bit

hostage to our own calendar and what we really like is that right into the new year – as we did last year, as we’ve done year after year – we’ve kept the vaults open, we’ve welcomed dollars continually coming in and we know that’s going to happen.”

United Way chief execu-tive officer Michael Allen told the EMC while the agency set for its agenda a 10-week campaign, many of its sup-porters organized longer cam-paigns or held on-going cam-paigns that ran throughout the year.

“Many, many organiza-tions now want to run their campaigns on their time. So we have to be respectful of that, if it works in their cy-cles it has to be what works for us and not the other way around,” Allen said. “This is very common for most United Ways now, that the

amount of money they raise in terms of their overall annual objective is only partly real-ized in the campaign time-frame. And many, of course, don’t have a campaign time-frame now that ends in De-cember, many of them go on right until the end of the fiscal year.”

Allen said with United Way Ottawa’s fiscal year ending in March, there was time enough to meet the objective, espe-cially with more than 300 lo-cal workplace campaigns still to be completed.

Last year’s target of $33.1 million was not reached until the end of January.

“It’s been a great campaign from so many respects but we have work yet to do,” Allen said. “We’re going to very much celebrate tonight the generosity of donors – it is the record for us in terms of our 10 weeks of our campaign –

but so many campaigns are still ongoing and there’s still work to be done. So we’ll cel-ebrate tonight but we’re going to carry on.”

Over the years the United Way has been very success-ful in conveying to donors the importance of their gifts, Allen said, transcending transcended economic dif-ficulties observed in the community and with certain employers.

“The federal government is an example of that, there are uncertainties there. But my gosh, they were amaz-ingly strong and as usual fast campaign But those things will unfold in the whole-ness of time and we’ll have to work hard and again con-vey to donors how important it is – their gifts can make a difference,” Allen said.

Fruit cake and chocolate, or cherries and chocolate?

EMC Lifestyle - Some of you may remember the Christmas cookie recipe that was in my column a couple of years ago, the one that used Christmas fruit cake and a cake mix.

Chocolate cake cookiesOne devil’s food or plain

chocolate cake mixTwo eggs, lightly beaten

with a fork1/2 cup vegetable oil or

light olive oilFruit Cake Version1 3/4 cups dark or light

fruit cakeOne tsp. rumCherry Version1 3/4 cups maraschino

cherries (375 mL jar)If you are making the fruit

cake version, cut the cake into slices about 1/4” thick, then cut each slice into small bite-size pieces. Dip your knife into cold water frequently so that it doesn’t get too sticky.

For the cherry version, drain the cherries through a sieve, then rinse them under cold water. Blot them dry with paper towels, then cut each cherry into quarters.

To make the cookie bat-ter, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs and oil (plus rum for the fruit cake version). Stir until well blended. The batter will be very stiff.

Add the fruit cake or the cherries, and stir to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the batter. Have a cup of cold wa-ter ready, and use it to dip the spoon as you make each cook-ie. Drop the batter by heaping teaspoons on to an ungreased cookie sheet. You’ll probably need 2 spoons, one to scoop up the batter, the other to push

it off the fi rst one on to your baking sheet. Leave about 1” between cookies.

Bake at 325F for 14 to 16 minutes. Because it’s hard to tell when these are done, you may want to bake three or four, let them cool, then check them. Of course, this means that you’ll have to eat at least one. The cookies should be fi rm around the edges, but still a little soft in the center.

When you remove the cookies from the oven, cool them on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Little-known dietary contributors to heart diseaseSpecial to the EMC

EMC News - Red meats, hydrogenized oils -- these are the foods we associate with heart disease and high choles-terol. But, a few other things many people eat rather fre-quently could be contributing to future heart problems.

Researchers have found

that eating a diet high in refi ned grains, including those in most store-bought pastas and white breads, can double the risk of heart disease.

These foods are those that have a high glycemic index, or GI. Foods with a high GI quickly release sugar into the

bloodstream.Doctors have found a cor-

relation between high GI and heart disease, mainly in women, according to re-search at the University of Milan.

The study ques-tioned 32,578 women and 15,171 men.

Special to the EMCEMC News - Give the gift

of fi tness to a loved one and invest in your own health today by making the City of Ottawa’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Services a part of your daily, active-living routine.

In today’s society where health care and Government funding is stretched, we need to take a personal interest in how we choose to manage our health. The benefi ts as-sociated with exercising on a regular basis are undeniable; from lowering blood pres-sure and cholesterol, keep-ing chronic diseases at bay to boosting vitality. Fitness is no longer a luxury; it is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

Through the City of Otta-wa, fi tness is affordable and available to all age groups and mobility levels. The city

offers a wide range of pro-grams to fi t everyone�s life-style and the Ottawa Hand in Hand fee support program subsidizes those with fi nan-cial diffi culties. City staff members are trained in CPR, Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (to bet-ter assist those with physi-cal impairments), WHMIS, Health and Safety and un-dergo annual training. We are focused on Service Ex-cellence and thus diligently work to adjust to the needs of our community.

Not sure where to start? Take a look at our programs on ottawa.ca/recreation-guide to see the impressive list of options available to you. Need more of a per-sonal touch? Drop into a Recreation Complex in your neighbourhood and fi nd out how they can meet your fi tness needs.

Our fl exible member-ship options do not require a yearlong contract. Choose to exercise in our condition-ing centres, swim, skate or take group exercise classes such as aquafi t, spinning, yoga, Pilates, Zumba, boot-camps, and the list goes on. Go ahead! Use your Class A Fitness membership in any of our Recreation Complexes.

Prefer to take a specialty program? We offer a wide range of registration based classes that will suit your fancy. We offer great courses for all ages and stages and special needs. We have sports conditioning, strength and cardio, indoor cycling, yoga, tai chi, Nordic walking and much more!

This year choose to re-main active in your com-munity with the City of Ottawa’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Services!

PrairieMy name is Prairie and I am a golden Standard Poodle and I am named after the

golden waves of wheat across the Canadian prairies and I love to run free in open fields. I have a little brother named Panda and he is my best friend. We do everything together. Here is a picture of me doing my best impression of the dog in my favourite movie, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Happy Holidays everybody!

Pet Adoptions

STEVEA134544

CARLAA138246

Meet Steve, a neutered male, white Domestic Shorthair cat who is approximately eight months old. This snowy white furry feline was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 27 and he is now available for adoption. Steve would love to sleep under the blanket with you. He has the most amazing yellow eyes and loves keeping busy with interactive toys. He would rather not be fed anything except the special diet he needs to keep him feeling his best. No holiday treats, please! Steve is a special needs adoption because he has dietary needs. He may be able to change from this diet slowly over time once settled into a home and with the advice of a vet.

TWELVE PET TIPS FOR CHRISTMAS

This unaltered female, white Dwarf and Himalayan rabbit is about seven months old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on November 19 and is now available for adoption. Her red eyes stand out against her pure white fur coat, and she’s looking for a home where she can be social with her owners and have plenty of exercise and healthy food. Rabbits love human companionship, and that’s all Carla wants for Christmas!

The holidays present many hazards for pets. The same things that make Christmas special may cause problems for your animals. Here are the OHS’s tips to help keep your companion animals safe, healthy and happy during the holidays:

The busy social season1.�Holidays are a busy time for visiting

and being visited – you may be away for extended periods or have a house full of guests. If you’re away, have someone check in on your pet or board your pet. Note that your pet’s vaccinations will have to be up-to-date to be accepted at a boarding facility.

2.�If you’re entertaining, you may wish to keep your pets in a quiet room away from the noise and activity. If they’re mingling among the guests, make sure you’re moni-toring them so that they don’t share your guests’ holiday fi nger foods!

The glittering Christmas decorations3.�Christmas ornaments should be “pet-

friendly.” Avoid using tinsel on trees! Curi-ous animals are attracted by the shiny strings

and may swallow them, which can lead to serious injury-and expensive surgery! Orna-ments hung on lower tree limbs should not be breakable. Also, keep your tree free of decorations made of food!

4.�Barricade the water trough around the tree to prevent your pet from drinking the water, which may be dirty and contain pine needles, which are indigestible.

5.�Be careful with Christmas lights! Secure electrical cords and conceal outlets. Pets may chew on cords; and keep pets away from open fl ames.

6.�Some Christmas plants are toxic to pets. Keep your pets away from mistletoe, holly, poinsettias and amaryllis. If ingested, they may cause vomiting, diarrhea and/or other problems. If your pet has ingested something you’re unsure about, call your veterinarian!

The carefully purchased and lovingly wrapped gifts

7.�After gifts have been unwrapped, dis-card or store wrapping paper and ribbons,

which could be dangerous play toys for pets.8.�You’re not the only one looking under

the tree with curiosity. If you don’’t know what’s in a package, don’t leave it under the tree! You may fi nd out the hard way that Aunt Jane got you a delicious box of Belgian truffl es. Chocolate is toxic for cats and dogs.

The sumptuous holiday fare9.�Table scraps and left-overs aren’t just

too rich for your pets: bones in the meat could lead to serious complications or death.

10.�Ensure that edibles in Christmas stockings or on the tree are unreachable by your pet and away from dangerous places, such as the fi replace.

The winter wonderland11.�Always ensure that your pet is wear-

ing adequate identifi cation. With more fre-quent comings-and-goings, it’s easy for your pet to slip out of the house unnoticed.

12.�On colder days, limit your pet’s ex-posure to the out-of-doors to short time periods.

Despite the fact many face uncertain employment and tough economic times ahead, United Way donors have mobilized in making an even greater effort to in-vest in their community, Allen said.

“I think (the economy) does impact donors in that their empathy is sensitized. They realize if they’re struggling if they’re having difficulties, people who have other chal-lenges in their lives – more so than they might have – absolutely need more help. And so people tend to be very generous,” he said.

Allen said United Way Ot-tawa is unique in that a higher percentage of donations – 93 per cent – come from individ-uals rather than corporations as in the case in other cities.

“The other part of that is

we’re a very generous commu-nity. One in six people donate to their United Way campaign. That’s twice as many as in To-ronto, three times as many as Montreal – and it’s one in 42 in Vancouver. So we’re a com-munity that’s extraordinarily generous,” he said, describing Ottawa as “a big city with a small town heart.”

Keeping and other com-munity leaders have set the tone that is part of today’s culture in this city, he said, showing by example that people go out and support community engagement and participation in their social and everyday business lives. This has become a character-istic of this market, with the United Way a beneficiary of that mindset.

This year’s campaign was marked by very strong sup-port from new businesses, Allen said, with more than 22 new campaigns initiated

by them – the most in the last five years.

“We also had very strong commitment at the leader-ship and major donor level in the federal government, more donors at that higher level of giving. We’d like to think that’s because of the work that we’ve done to transform our business and to allow do-nors to be more thoughtful and deliberate about the kind of investment they’re mak-ing, not just the gifts they’re giving or what kind of results we hope to generate; I think that appealed to federal public servants,” Allen said.

The United Way has be-come more deliberate and focus on where funding is allocated, with the expecta-tion the agency’s funding can drive change. Allen said while charitable giving still has a role to play in supporting peo-ple and organizations, more donors are hoping to make

the type of investment in their community that will result in change in the lives of seniors, people with disabilities, new Canadians, children and peo-ple facing crisis. Today’s do-nor is more akin to a philan-thropist, he said, endeavoring to improve the lives of others and asking for accountability from the agencies the United Way supports.

“Donors increasingly, with have so many choices, so many options and so many needs – and there are legitimate needs – they want to know at least in some part of their giving that they’re making a real in-vestment and a change in the community itself. This is not something the United Way has exclusively championed, this is what donors are asking for. Many donors are asking, ‘what difference is my dona-tion making?’ And so in many respects we are responding to the kind of things donors

are asking us, and rightly so: what difference is the invest-ment we are making resulting in change?

“With so many choices I think that’s the value of United Way’s work, that we can look at the community impartially, we can look at the needs we believe where we can make a difference. Our promise to

donors is that we will invest their dollars where they’re needed most, where they will make the greatest difference. And that’s what we have to deliver on.”

United Way continues to accept donations through its web site at www.united-wayottawa.ca or by phone at 613-228-6767.

Bluesfest, RBC Royal Bank partner to ensure music plays onSpecial to the EMC

EMC News – North Amer-ica’s premier music festival, Bluesfest proudly announced its long-term partnership with RBC Royal Bank at a media event Dec. 2.

The partnership ensures the music plays on for an-other five years in the nation’s capital and further strengthens RBC commitment to culture in Ottawa.

RBC Royal Bank has al-ways shown a keen interest in

cultural initiatives, support-ing numerous organizations and events at a grassroots, national and global level. The new five-year partnership with Bluesfest further en-hances their rich calendar of cultural and customer driven initiatives in Ottawa and its surrounding communities.

“RBC Royal Bank is proud to partner with North Amer-ica’s premier music festival because we have two great things in common: we both

continue to evolve to provide our customers with the best possible experience, and we are 100 per-cent committed to Ottawa from both a busi-ness and cultural perspec-tive,” said Jeff Boyd, regional president, Ontario north and east, RBC Royal Bank. “This is great news for our custom-ers, for Ottawa and for RBC Royal Bank. We are delighted that RBC Royal Bank and our customers will now be able to benefit from this new

partnership and we look forward to growing and en-hancing the festival over the coming years.”

“This new partnership will ensure the festival can con-tinue to operate as one of the biggest in North America for many years to come,” said Mark Monahan, executive director of Bluesfest. “RBC Royal Bank’s long-term com-mitment to Bluesfest now allows Cisco to focus on technology enablement.”

school. I think it’s way more popular in Saskatchewan than any other place in the world. Where I’m from, we always had a good team. I like it. It’s a super hard sport to play. People don’t really realize how hard it is.

Q: What was it like playing junior hockey in Spokane, Wash.?

always passed the place where he was born in Floral. It’s not a town anymore, but that’s what I always thought about when we drove by that certain area, that it was where Gordie Howe grew up. We also have a statue of him in the city. That’s all I really knew about him when I was growing up, that sort of stuff.

Q: Your home province is famous for its curling heritage. Have you ever tried the sport?

A: Oh, yeah. We do that in

By Rob BrodieOttawaSenators.com

For a young guy still a few months shy of his 21st birthday, Jared Cowen has already compiled quite the list of hockey achievements.

As a 16-year-old hailing from tiny Allan, Sask., the Ottawa Senators blueliner had a major hand in the Spokane Chiefs’ charge to the Memorial Cup crown in 2008. Three years later, the 6-5, 230-pound Cowen hoisted the Calder Cup after joining the Binghamton Senators in the midst of their playoff run. In between, he won a pair of silver medals with Team Canada at the world junior hockey championship.

Now Cowen is starting to make a whole set of new hockey memories with Senators, for whom he scored his fi rst career National Hockey League goal in a Nov. 1 game in Boston against the Bruins.

Cowen took some time out to talk with ottawasenators.com about hockey and a whole lot more:

Q: Who was your favourite player growing up?

A: I really liked Gordie Howe because he was from Saskatchewan, even though I never saw him play. In the more modern (era), I liked Mike Modano and Jarome Iginla. I guess they were a lot younger back then.

Q: How much were you aware of Gordie Howe and his achievements as a kid?

A: Driving from my town into the city (Saskatoon), we

down to Spokane and live in a different country with a different family. It was a great city to play junior hockey.

Q: What was your best junior hockey memory, winning the Memorial Cup or playing in the world juniors?

A: World juniors are so much fun and it’s such a prestigious thing, but I also liked the Memorial Cup because we won it. I was 16 and it was my fi rst year of junior, so that was unbelievable. It’s also way harder to win because you have to go through four rounds (of WHL playoffs) just to make it to the tournament.

Q: What was most memorable about your fi rst NHL goal?

A: I’ll always remember the immediate feeling you get, the rush, after it fi rst happens and seeing the look on all the guys’ faces when they realized what just happened. I think that’s the best part.

Q: If you’re cooking dinner, what’s on the menu?

A: I like to barbecue a lot. Usually it’s some sort of steak, or chicken with sweet potatoes cut up.

Q: Your favourite music?A: I’ve never had one

BUFFALO SABRES

FLORIDA PANTHERS

Tuesday, Dec. 20,7:30 p.m., TSN

Though they’ve struggled a bit recently, the Sabres remain a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Captain Jason Pominville is also an offensive leader for a Buffalo attack that features Thomas Vanek, a top-end snip-er, veteran Derek Roy and Luke Adam, one of the NHL’s top rookie talents. Off-season acqui-sitions Christian Ehrhoff and

Robyn Regehr have bolstered a revamped Sabres blue line that includes Tyler Myers, a rising young star. While Ryan Miller has gone through ups and downs in goal, the Sabres have benefit-ed from the strong play turned in by backup Jhonas Enroth.

Thursday, Dec. 22, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet Sens

No team underwent as mas-sive an off-season overhaul as the Panthers but the changes are already bearing fruit, as Florida has rocketed to the top of the Southeast Division. Look no further than the scor-ing charts to see the differ-ence the moves have made in the new-look Panthers, with Tomas Fleischmann and Kris Versteeg both injecting an extra jolt into the team’s forward

ranks. Veteran Stephen Weiss is also off to a strong start for the Cats. On the blue line, Brian Campbell has made a quick impact in his first season in south Florida. Jose Theodore carries the bulk of the goaltend-ing load for the Panthers.

Number of families asking for help increased since last yearSpecial to the EMC

EMC News – The phone is ringing off the hook at the Caring and Sharing

Exchange, home of the Christmas Exchange Program.

The number of people ask-ing for food assistance or toy assistance (or both) in Ottawa is higher today than it was on the same day a year ago.

In order to provide the min-imum of help to each and ev-ery person already registered – among them thousands of children – the Exchange needs to raise another $350,000 in donations. But the Christmas Exchange and its 300 part-nering agencies expect the number to keep rising un-til the very last moment on Christmas Eve.

On the fi rst week of De-cember the charity must de-cide on an amount for the

much-needed gift vouchers.“We had 8,500 fami-

lies listed to receive help the fi rst week of December 2010”, said

Marilyn Matheson, execu-tive director of the Christmas Exchange. “We thought 9,350 families in 2010 couldn’t get any higher. Yet here with over 24,500 names from 9,570 families. So we expect we may end up with a total of over 10,500 families by the 24th”.

Christmas Exchange needs the community’s help to make Christmas happen for these families.

Many of these people have shared their story with the Exchange, and they are often people who used to donate, in the past. But they have re-cently hit hard fi nancial times due to job layoff, illness or increased expenses such as

hydro and food.In addition to providing di-

rect assistance, the Caring and Sharing Exchange provides a co-ordination service to cross-reference applications made to many of the area churches, service clubs, and other orga-nizations that also provide as-sistance. This helps to elimi-nate duplicate applications of Ottawa residents. They also process all the applications to the Salvation Army Toy Cen-tre (Toy Mountain). Last year alone, over $600,000 were saved and redistributed back into the community through the identifi cation of thousands of duplicate application.

For more information about the Caring and Sharing Exchange and its programs, or to make a donation, please call 613-226-6434 or donate online by visiting www.Car-ingandSharing.ca.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Patience is a virtue, Aries. The best will be in store for you later in the week. There’s not much chance for adventure Monday or Tuesday, but things pick up on Wednesday.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behind-the-scenes work is taking place, too.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21You’re in over your head, Sagittarius. Too many projects and not enough helpers can leave you feeling over-whelmed. You may want to tackle one thing at a time.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, new beginnings have arrived and you’re excited about all of the prospects. Others may share your joy but not to the extent that you do.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, it’s alright to be cautious with your decisions, but taking much too long could indicate you’re not ready for a change. Soon a spouse or partner will grow impatient.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20It’s hard to accept help sometimes, Pisces. But help is what you need right now. Accept it with open arms.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, pretending to enjoy something you don’t like will not make for a productive week. Speak your mind. If something is bothering you, say so.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, there’s nothing mysterious about a presentation that is made, which earns your interest. This could be a good opportunity for a change if you pursue it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are trying to purchase something that has sentimental value but you can’t seem to find the item you have in mind. Don’t devote too much energy to the challenge.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22When someone at work makes an announcement, you are caught off-guard by the news. It will take you a few days to recover, but then it’s business as usual.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23The cliche, “save for a rainy” day was never more appropriate, Leo. Your rainy day has arrived, and you may need to tap into saved funds just to get along.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, others could find you’re acting irrationally, and that’s not within your character. It could be time to step aside and regroup, which may paint a clearer picture of your behavior.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23You have nothing on your mind except having fun, Libra, and that’s OK. Since you’ve been working so hard lately, it’s actually a good opportunity to do something to let loose.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, although things have been a bit hectic, you have found new strategies for not letting the stress affect your well-being. You’re enjoying the ride, instead.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, organization at home can go a long way to bringing a new outlook on your life. Think about eliminating some of the clutter that has taken over.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20It’s high time you share some of the responsibility with someone else, Capricorn. Managing everything yourself is a one-way ticket to getting stressed out. That’s not what you need.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, contrary to what you may believe, you cannot always be right in every situation. Thinking this way is counterproductive to your relationships and could affect friendships.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Rethink a financial strategy, Pisces. Examine all the ins and outs and consider all the pros and cons before committing.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
