Greely residents Veronique and Mike Ayling have opened a cupcake shop in Manotick despite Veronique’s ongoing battle with Lyme disease.

Lyme disease can’t keep Manotick baker downEmma [email protected]

News - Veronique Ayling has been dreaming of her own cupcake shop for the better part of a decade.

The Greely resident grew up in the Laurentians bak-ing with her grandmother, but instead of opening her own shop she joined theCanadian Armed Forces, where she works in its inves-

tigations unit. But since the start of a

lengthy battle with Lyme dis-ease she and her husband have decided it’s time to fi nally chase her dream. Ayling will make the goodies, while busi-ness-minded Mike will man-age the books.

After six months of plan-ning, V’s Cupcakes opened its doors on Manotick Main Street on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

The vintage-inspired shop

will sell as many as 20 cup-cake fl avours on weekends, with staples available through-out the week. Wedding cakes, cookies, brownies and scones will also line the shelves, and Ayling said she plans to cater events, as well.

“We’ll be unbeatable as a team,” said Mike. “I’ve test-ed more cupcakes than I can count.”

But the new store is just ic-ing on the cake as the Ayling family tries to conclude a ter-rifying chapter of their life.

Exactly two years before opening her shop, the fi t, ener-getic mother of three suddenly found herself barely able to function.

She was dizzy, thirstier than she’d ever been before and drop-dead tired – unheard of for the “energizer bunny” who did crossfi t workouts some-times twice a day.

“It really happened over-night,” said the 39-year-old.

Continued from the front

After two days struggling to get through her days at work, she went to the military hospi-tal, but the doctor didn’t rec-ognize the signs for what they were: Lyme.

The doctor refused to pre-scribe antibiotics, and Ayling’s health continued to decline. Countless tests, including physical tasks to measure her failing heart, were unable to shed light on the cause.

“I went through hell and back during those tests,” Ayling said. “I thought I would die on the spot, some of them.”

She even tested for Lyme, but the results came back negative – as many falsely do, according to a Health Canada bulletin. By November 2012, Mike was demanding antibiot-ics for his wife.

“I’m watching her health going down and down, and one

morning I remember looking at her in bed and she was beyond pale,” he said. “I thought, my God, I’m watching my wife die.”

Finally, a doctor agreed to give her a month-long course of antibiotics, followed by a second. By early 2013 Ayling was feeling more energetic, but her heart function had plummeted below 40 per cent. Intensive rehab got it back up to 51 per cent, but poor heart functionality is a reality Ayling still faces today.

“I don’t think I will get back to where I was, because my heart was attacked,” she said. “The damage is irreversible.” Having recovered as best as possible but still unsure what had caused her illness, Ayling returned to work that August, a year after Lyme took hold.

She was feeling almost back to normal by the time Janu-ary 2014 arrived, and she and

Mike started planning the cup-cake shop.

The couple was busy taking trips to Montreal and Toronto to buy equipment for the shop, but Ayling was becoming more and more fatigued.

“By April, I couldn’t drive my car,” Ayling said.

She was back to square one. She continued planning her shop on her laptop from bed, between long naps and periods of mental fog.

“I was able to do a lot on-line,” Ayling said. “My best friends were my legs.”

But the many doctors she saw didn’t have nearly as much faith in her illness as her friends. “Some doctors will look at you and say it’s all in your head,” she said.

That is, until she discovered Dr. Maureen McShane.

The US-born doctor lives in Montreal, but opened a prac-tice in Plattsburgh, New York

in 2009 to treat Lyme disease patients.

McShane had contracted Lyme herself, and was appalled to discover doctors in Quebec wouldn’t treat her – and she wasn’t the only one.

“Patients who had seen the same doctor for 25 years said ‘I have Lyme’ and they just said, ‘I don’t want to see you anymore,’” she said.

The problem, McShane said, is that there have been two standards of care for treating Lyme: an older one that simply allowed doctors to treat Lyme as they saw fi t, and another from the Infec-tious Diseases Association of America, which says Lyme shouldn’t be treated long-term. This recommendation comes from a series of cases in which patients failed to recover after long-term courses of antibiot-ics, McShane said.

“The issue is they did these

studies and said these people did not improve, but they did not give them high enough doses of antibiotics or the right combination of antibiotics, and they did not treat co-infec-tions,” McShane said.

In Canada, several promi-nent doctors have lost their medical licenses for prescrib-ing antibiotics for longer than the standard one month period, despite the fact that Lyme can take two or three years of anti-biotic treatment to fully cure.

Until this June, when the New York senate passed a bill protecting doctors from perse-cution based on their treatment methods, McShane was risk-ing her medical license every day to treat the approximately 950 Lyme patients currently in her care.

There was no question it was the right thing to do.

“It’s a real moral issue,” McShane said. “When I got it, my whole world changed and

there was a doctor willing to risk his license to treat me. So how could turn around and not do the same thing?”

McShane takes a holistic approach, demanding her pa-tients eat clean – preferably gluten-free, as many Lyme patients develop gluten intoler-ances – and prescribing herb-al and vitamin supplements alongside effective antibiotics. She said she fully believes that even the most drastic, chronic Lyme cases can achieve a 100 per cent recovery on this plan.

Ayling will start seeing Mc-Shane in September, abandon-ing the Canadian health care system to pay out of pocket over the border – as much as $10,000 a year if extra costs like travel, time off, tests and lifestyle changes are factored in. She fi nally got a positive Lyme test from a lab in the US this June, and has started anti-biotics once again.

“It’s been a heck of a road,” Ayling said, noting her dream business is more than just cute cupcakes. “Mike and this busi-ness is what kept me alive.”

Metcalfe soldier’s letters make way to digital worldEmma [email protected]

News - In this modern age, no good piece of gossip takes very long to make its way across social media.

One hundred years ago, the best bits of hometown news could take days to reach the front line, where thousands of young Canadians were liv-ing a daily nightmare in the trenches of World War I.

Like many soldiers, Met-calfe’s own Private Elmo Sul-ly kept up a steady stream of letter writing to his girl back home, Fannie Iveson, a fellow student at Metcalfe Continua-tion School.

Those 100-year-old letters have now been collected into an interactive website and print collection, called Private Sully Goes to War, in an effort to help modern-day students connect with their hometown history.

Project lead Jane Cooper said the letters are surpris-ingly accessible. “It’s a high school boy writing to his girl,” said Cooper. “They’re written in a very young voice.”

They’re also fascinating for the details they reveal and conceal about his experience.

“You can sense a lot of self-censorship,” Cooper said.

“He didn’t want to tell Fan-nie the nasty stuff.”

That ‘stuff’ includes some of the bloodiest battles of the war: the Battle of the Somme and Passchendaele.

Instead, many of Sully’s let-ters focus on town gossip and events, including how much he’ll miss the now-defunct Ot-tawa Exhibition.

“Do you remember a cer-

tain day of the Ottawa ex. last year; my suggestion, that I might be in kharki by exhibi-

tion time this year came quite true. ... I hope you are able to ‘take it in’ this year,” he wrote

to Fannie on Sept. 16, 1916. Gossip ran rampant through

his letters: who was dat-ing who, who had gotten top marks in Latin, and, perhaps most importantly, who had enlisted.

In many ways, this front line postal system wasn’t so different than Facebook or Twitter today, Cooper said.

“I was fascinated at how often they wrote to each

other, and how quickly the letters got to each other,” Cooper said. “They’re social networking.

It’s just the technology that’s changed.” it’s changing in the schools, too; textbooks are becoming an outdated re-source, and students are de-manding digital media in the classroom.

To this end, Cooper has partnered with Osgoode

Township High School teach-er David Way to develop an interactive website that will help Grade 10 history students connect with Sully and his friends Duff Crerar and Ross Campbell, who lived in their own village 100 years ago.

HOW DID YOU START YOUR

BUSINESS?

I’ve had a life-long passion for interior decorating.

I began my studies at Algonquin College. Following

these studies, I tended to my family and my career

in the financial industry. Years later, I returned to

my studies in the Residential Décor Program to do

what I enjoy doing best: helping people discover the

heart of their home.

WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE PRODUCT

OR SERVICE?

I have everything I need in hand when I arrive

at your home, and I am fully bilingual. When I

arrive, so does the excitement of creating a space

that is uniquely your own. We can discuss your

needs and ideas to create a design you love from

concept to final installation. Best of all, you can

be sure your project will have a happy ending

because I personally execute all the phases of the

project to ensure quality workmanship. From my

initial consultation, to product selection, to final

installation, I handle every detail. I am a true end-

to-end decorating service.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SURPRISED TO

KNOW? I find clients are most surprised to learn how many

options are available to them in their own home,

and that working with an interior decorator doesn’t

have to be expensive. First, when working with me,

my initial design consultation is complimentary.

Second, because I work with a wide variety of

products and suppliers, I can help them determine

a budget and price range that is comfortable for

them. Once that is established, my clients can relax

and know that everything I show them will fit within

the budget for their project. They often comment on

how much more warm and functional their spaces

are after incorporating some of my ideas into their

home. They are also pleasantly surprised to learn

how affordable decorating can be, especially with

the right advice.

WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION TO BE

THE BEST?

I pride myself on being a designer who is easy

to work with and who can make the most of any

budget.

My clients appreciate the fact that I decorate to suit

their lifestyles and expand on their own ideas. My

goal is to always make decorating a fun experience.

Together, we can make your dream space a reality.

FAVOURITE SAYING OR QUOTE?

News - Forty days, 800 kilometres and a whole lot of faith: that was Aileen Lamont’s world for the bet-ter part of the summer as she walked from southern France

to the northern coast of Spain on a personal pilgrimage.

The 60-year-old Greely resident left St. Jean, France on June 21 and hiked over the Pyrenes mountains into Spain.

She didn’t let up until she reached Santiago de Compos-

tela on Aug. 6. Lamont walked an average

of 20 km a day, passed Ro-man-era churches and took in countless pastoral views of European countryside steeped in rich culture, history and faith.

“For me, it was very spiri-

tual,” Lamont said. “There were so many, many

moments when I would just fall into prayer.”

Lamont was walking the Way of St. James, a pilgrim-age to Santiaga de Compostela where Jesus’ apostle St. James the Great is said to be buried, to mark her 60th birthday as well as the 125th anniversary of All Saints Anglican Church on Parkway Road.

Also called the Camino Frances, the pilgrimage has been used since the ninth cen-tury, and was one of the most important pilgrimage routes in the Middle Ages. Today, the route is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts thou-sands of pilgrims each year.

Lamont’s aim was to raise $8,000 for the church, which faces mounting maintenance bills.

“I am very blessed and I have more than I need in this life, so I thought what a way to give back to my com-munity, my spiritual family,” Lamont said.

She embarked on her pil-grimage alone, but the well-worn trail offered up plenty of friends to help her along the way.

And she, too, was given a chance to help her fellow pil-grims.

Early in her journey, she came across a woman from Slovenia who was struggling down a steep hillside because of a knee injury. Lamont and her friend Monica helped her down the hill and into a near-by village.

Sympathetic passers-by gave her their fi rst aid equip-

ment, and the two women stayed with her until she was safe.

That show of community gave Lamont comfort when she found herself on lonely country paths, having taken the road less travelled.

“You may have walked alone, but you were never alone,” Lamont said.

Some days were certainly a challenge. Being summer, the heat could be nearly unbear-able, particularly on a steep incline or on the fl at meseta tablelands famous for their stark and unyielding country-side.

“It was challenging, and that’s where prayer kicked in,” she said. “You’ve maybe got two to three km to go that day, but you know St. Chris-topher’s leading the way and St. Anthony is looking after your health. It occupies your mind.”

One day she came close to giving in to temptation, when a poorly marked sign had tak-en her a few kilometres out of her way on a particularly sti-fl ing afternoon.

Knowing she was running low on water, she made it to the main road and decided she would hitch-hike the last four or fi ve km into the village. As a car came along, she waved at it as she had seen others do – the universal thumb-up didn’t seem to apply – but the driver simply waved in return, with a big smile, and kept driving.

“Well, that served me right for trying to skip the last four km,” Lamont laughed.

She also struggled to keep her temper in check when faced with the realities of the modern pilgrimage; not all walkers on the Camino trail are there for spiritual reasons, and some had a tendency to blare their music just as she was taking in a particularly moving scene.

But there were other sounds

that fi lled her with joy: pil-grims openly praying on the trail, for example, or the buzz of a bee which, being so se-cluded, was the only thing in earshot.

Lamont reached the Cathe-dral of Santiago de Compos-tela on Aug. 6 alongside two women she met on the road, Christiane and Armelle, both from France. It was a celebra-tion of sorts, but also a sombre moment for pilgrims to em-brace the statue of St. James the Great and visit his crypt below the church.

“At the end of the road, you embrace death,” Lamont said.

It wasn’t until a few days after she had arrived home to Greely and got her walking sticks out for the fi rst time that she came to realize what her journey had really been about.

“The camino is a meta-phor for life,” she said. “We all come from different back-grounds, and we walk the road. We have choices, we are given obstacles . you have down moments and euphoric moments, too.

And you meet people on the way who become your friends, and some try to take advantage of you, and some

you leave behind. You share meals and laughter and tears; you look after each other, and ... you come to embrace death at the end of a well-journeyed life.”

And she’s taken home some more mundane lessons, as well, such as the weight of carrying water – a fact Lam-ont has come to realize many women in the world know all

too well. “I have such an admiration

and appreciation for women and children who have to fetch and carry water,” she said. She’ll be supporting potable water and community well projects as a result, she said.

And she had some practi-cal advice for future pilgrims: pack lighter than you think you should, and go at your own pace.

Donations in support of Lamont’s journey can be sent to All Saints Anglican Church at 7103 Parkway Rd. in Greely.

While many of us have heard of Achilles Heel, perhaps we are not as familiar with the term Achilles Tendinopathy.

Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) refers to the inflammatory and degenerative changes to the Achilles tendon. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles combine to form the Achilles, which is the strongest tendon in the body. Yet despite its strength, it has a weakness—it can frequently be injured. That predisposition to injury is attributed to the anatomy of the tendon and biomechanics of the foot.

Overuse and repetitive stress placed on the Achilles tendon often leads to injury. Orthotic-friendly footwear which provides arch support can help relieve Achilles tendon strain, according to the

Canadian Certified team of Pedorthists at BioPed Ottawa. http://w w w. b i o p e d . c o m /locations/locations.asp?id=46

The two muscles which form the Achilles cross three joints –the knee, ankle and subatalar joint and insert into the calcaneus. Plantar flexing the foot or

tendon allows for propulsion, enabling us run or jump. A bursa between the Achilles tendon and calcaneus cushions and lubricates the tendon. When inflammation of the bursa occurs alongside insertional Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) this is known as “Haglund’s Syndrome”. Non-insertional AT is more common, encountered due to an area of hypovascularity near the calcaneal insertion. Insertion of the tendon into the calcaneus means the calcaneal eversion at the subtalar joint, commonly referred to as flat feet, stressed the tendon, and in most cases, tendon degeneration is located at the medial aspect.

Running, aerobics and high impact activity adds additional stress. When a person is running, the Achilles tendon is subject to

forces up to eight times greater than a person’s body weight. AT pain is a direct result of tendon degeneration. There is a 52 per cent chance that an elite long distance runner will develop an Achilles injury at some stage of their life. Patients with AT can be treated with foot orthotics used in a combination of other modalities, such as physical therapy.

BioPed offers a variety of products and services including custom orthotics, assessment and biomechanical gait analysis by Canadian Certified Pedorthists. BioPed carries a wide variety of orthopaedic-quality and fashionable footwear from sandals to work boots.

If you are suffering from AT or want to prevent it from happening, contact the professionals at BioPed.

For more information on plantar fasciitis and other foot concerns, visit BioPed in Ottawa at one of their four centres (Barrhaven, Orleans, Kanata, Westgate Mall) or Contact them www.bioped.com/locations/locations.

Several media and design students at Algonquin College helped the pair design a tab-let-friendly website complete with scans of the original let-ters, typed transcripts, photos of Sully and his friends and even a map and timeline of Sully’s whereabouts during the war.

“The website is all about

being able to be very interac-tive,” Way said. “It becomes less abstract, and it goes be-yond the textbook.”

Cooper said the book has been in progress since she found the letters in the Os-goode Township Museum nearly 20 years ago. She thought then that she would turn them into a book, but it was only at the end of 2013 when Metcalfe resident Mar-

garet Rivard had transcribed the letters that Cooper decided it was time.

She did hours of research into Sully’s regiments so she could fi ll in the gaps of his whereabouts and experiences to create the book.

But it was clear that to be-come a success it would need to be a digital creation fi rst and foremost.

“The book becomes a teaser

Soldier’s life was a hard one

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Algonquin College media and design students Sundesh Singh, Jill McArthur andVictoria Caughey helped Osgoode Township High School teacher David Way andMetcalfe researcher Jane Cooper create an interactive website of a Metcalfe soldier’s World War I letters.

Published weekly by:

Parents across the city are breathing a col-lective sigh of relief, as the fi nal days tick off the calendar announcing the start of the school year.

On Tuesday, Sept. 2, tens of thousands of children will stream into Ottawa’s streets, returning to school on foot or by car or bus. Motorists will begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week. Fleets of school buses will fl ood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools. Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, but the French public and Catholic boards open a week ear-lier. The colour yellow in motorist’s language always translates to one word: caution. Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners. Kids will be kids, which means they are in constant motion. We must always remember the fi rst rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected. Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend waiting at a bus stop.

Motorists would do well to drive a little more

slowly the fi rst few weeks of September. They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights fl ashing. The fl ashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus. It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street. By law, traffi c in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights fl ashing.

If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isn’t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in fi nes up to $2,000 upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motorist’s driver’s license. And that’s only for a fi rst conviction.

Each subsequent offence can result in fi nes as high as $4,000 together with six demerit points and pos-sible imprisonment for up to six months.

Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyone’s responsibility. We’re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

We’ve had lots of exposure to NIMBY – the Not in My Back Yard – phenomenon

in which people rally to protect their neighbourhoods, sometimes selfi shly, often nobly. But the front yard is not immune either. Nor the side, if you happen to be on a corner.

We’re seeing it already in Kanata, where there is controversy over the placing of the fi rst of the new com-munity mailboxes by Canada Post. There is no perfect place to put one of these. It will always be right where there is no place to park, or right in front of someone’s house, or too far to get to on foot or too close to some-thing else. Some people are annoyed and many more will be as the process of dropping home delivery and in-

stalling more community mailboxes continues over the next year or so.

The annoyance factor is accentu-ated by the fact that nobody wants these things in the fi rst place. How could they? People are used to reaching outside the front door for the mail. Now they have to go some-where else for it.

At least Canada Post, unlike many enterprises, is not billing this reduc-tion in service as something that will serve the customer better.

It will serve Canada Post better, is the idea. Eliminating door-to-door delivery will enable it to cut costs and become more viable fi nancially. (Those with long memories will re-call that Canada Post’s mandate used to be to serve the public, before it was changed to require the corpora-tion to turn a profi t.)

The irony of the community mailbox conversion is that it could make Canada Post less likely to turn a profi t than it was before.

Most obviously, Canada Post is losing good will over the conversion and that can’t help any enterprise. If people are mad at Canada Post, they will be more likely to use a competitor’s services.

But there is another factor at work too: the customer’s attitude toward

the mail they receive. As you know, few people write personal letters any more. Consequently, they buy fewer stamps and Canada Post must lean more heavily on distributing fl yers and what unsympathetic customers refer to as junk mail.

Up to now, nobody has minded that much. The advertising that forms a large part of the mail we receive is an irritant, but it’s no trouble. We take it out of the mailbox and throw it away. Now we will have to walk down the street or perhaps even get into our cars to retrieve something we didn’t want in the fi rst place.

Won’t that change our attitudes toward junk mail? Won’t we demand that Canada Post do something to reduce it?

And if Canada Post is forced by public opinion to cut back on the advertising it distributes, that will cut into Canada Post’s revenues, further undermining the fi nancial position

that the community mailboxes were supposed to improve.

Oops. After this little victory on our behalf, it is hard to know what happens next. Whatever it is, we probably won’t be fi nding out through the mail.

Ema Lee Fashions:11 years and counting

It was a hot June night in 2002 and everything was quiet in the small hamlet of Balderson. No one knew that in one house, there was a deal going down!

Two men sat facing each other at the kitchen table in Mr. George Myers’ home.

The conversation was quick and right to the point. Would Mr. Myers sell his old general store or not? That was the question.

The sun was going down. The clocks on his wall ticked to their own tock.

The silence had been broken. Finally a deal had been made on the back of a cigarette pack.

The transformation began on the old general store and eleven years later Ema Lee Fashions is still a thriving, successful business. It is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 and open seven days a week.

Gerry McSweeney and Emily Desjardine had no idea that the business would become such a huge success. “We are known all over for being the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley and for being a destination shopping spot” Desjardine said.

“The store is also known for it’s plethora of ladies apparel, swim suits, purses and men’s shirts”.

Adjoining Ema Lee Fashions in the“Downtown Balderson Complex” you willfind Balderson Fine Foods, well known forits homemade ice-cream and the Anne andVanessa’s Bakery.

Since their last anniversary Emily and Gerryare very happy to announce and welcomethe new proprietor and trained Chef Adam Porter of the Balderson Café. Adam’s theory: “Our philosophy is simple freshness is our commitment”. The Café is open from 10:00amto 5:00pm and the response from all of thecustomers has been extremely complimentaryand positive.

Emily and Gerry highly recommend thatyou drop in for lunch and don’t forget totry his homemade desserts…you won’t bedisappointed!

it’s the second time in 2014 the rainbow flag has flown at city hall; the flag also flew during the Sochi Olym-pics.

“We have the power to

foster that change at the lo-cal level and the city has made it a priority,” he said. “How better to demonstrate that Ottawa is a city for ev-eryone…but by raising the rainbow fl ag.”

Ottawa South MP John Fraser also spoke at the fl ag raising, and said all the Lib-eral MPPs from the Ottawa

area would be taking part in the pride parade.

Also in attendance was the

U.S. ambassador to Canada, Bruce Heyman and his wife, Vicki. Heyman said the em-bassy will fl y the rainbow fl ag for a month in support of the event.

The U.S. embassy is a community partner of Capi-tal Pride week and sponsored two Americans to come to Ottawa.

Cason Crane, the first openly LGBT man to climb the “seven summits – the highest mountain of each continent – will act as the international parade mar-shal.

The embassy also brought Stephanie Battaglino, an ac-tivist for transgender issues and the corporate vice presi-dent at New York Life Insur-ance Company.

The pride parade was scheduled to run Aug. 24 along Bank Street.

Lifestyle - Children who are being rejected by their peers are going through a terrible ordeal. Isolated, insulted and ostracized, they often suffer in silence, and the consequences can be dramatic. It is never easy for parents to help a child who is being rejected, but it is possible.

Being different in some way is sometimes the cause be-hind this rejection. At other times, there doesn’t appear to be any logical explanation. Shyness, a nervous tic, speech diffi culties, obesity, or even having braces can be enough to set in motion the victimization process. Sometimes, all it takes is for children to ignore being made fun of for the rejection to start. And yet, some children who stutter or who are obese will never experience rejection. Children are best prepared by receiving help in devel-oping a certain amount of independence and social skills, which allow them to cope with their differences. Parents who help their children from a young age to develop social skills are preparing them to be better able to defend them-selves without resorting to violence (but rather through discussion or humour, for example). This also helps them to build their self-confi dence. Parents should listen to how their children have suffered and, above all, take them seriously. The next step is to tell their teachers; school staff may be able to correct the situ-ation through a class discussion where everyone can ex-press themselves without fear of being judged. It is vital to encourage rejected children to talk about their experience in order for them to escape their isola-tion.

How to help children who have been rejectedLifestyle - Why not organize a back to school party this year? Turning the fi rst day of school into a festive occasion is a great way to start off the new school year on the right foot.

You probably already know that eating breakfast is vital for energy and for in-creasing one’s capacity to learn. Make your back-to-school breakfast a colourful affair. Set the table with fresh fl owers and new placemats, and concoct a healthy breakfast that’s a bit out of the ordinary. If your children aren’t hungry, a smoothie and a small homemade fat-free muffi n are easy to manage, even for small stomachs that are feeling queasy with stress.Before leaving home, be sure to take the traditional photograph at the front door. The idea may seem old-fashioned to you, but these annual photos will become great memories for the entire family. Create an album just for these back-to-school photos and in a few years time you’ll all have fun looking through it. When your children get home after their fi rst day back at school, give them a surprise, a little reward to make them feel better after what can often be a stressful

day. You don’t need to spend a fortune to put smiles on their faces – serving their fa-vourite meal or taking everybody out to a restaurant is a great way to fi nish off the day.

Above all, this is an occasion to spend time together as a family, a moment to support each other in making the peaceful transition from the quiet of the summer to the regular school year routine.

Master Yoda’s Ottawa adventure comes to an endSpecial to the Manotick News

News - After a long, gruel-ing fi ve weeks, of searching for their missing family cat, Yoda has been returned to his family.

The ill 11 year - old cat was removed from his home in Kemptville, sometime around Thursday July 10th, by a stranger intent on help-ing him. Exactly fi ve weeks

to the day, he was returned to the family in good spirits and is doing very well.

The family still does not know the whole story of what went on with Yoda over the past fi ve weeks, but they are grateful that he was well taken care of during his adventure. “The lady that took him gave him fl uids, force fed him, and ensured that he was comfort-able and taken care of,” said

Patricia McDonald. The family is grateful for

all of the support they have received over the last fi ve weeks.

“It seems like everyone from Prescott to Ottawa was searching for Yoda.

Thanks to the people in our communities, their leads, phone calls, and emails we were able to bring our Yoda home” said McDonald.

Yoda’s early morning prowls will now be restricted to the length of a rope in his front yard.

There will be no more wan-dering around the neighbour-hood at his own free will.

He’s home now and the family is in agreement that they are not going to risk los-ing him ever again.

“We just want to thank ev-eryone for putting up posters, looking for Yoda when you were out and about, and for your phone calls and emails. We never gave up hope and it’s nice to know that the people in our community and beyond never gave up hope, either.”

News - A tale of deception, betrayal and courage will mark the start of Opera Lyra’s 30th season.

The opera company announced its latest

season’s performance will be Puccini’s Tosca, beginning on Sept. 6,8,10 and 13.

Starring as Floria Tosca is Canadian soprano Michele Capalbo, while tenor David Pomeroy will play her lover, Mario Cavaradossi. Tyrone Paterson, the company’s former artistic director said stars Capalbo and Pomeroy voices match perfectly.

“They are the leading Canadian interpreters of these roles and Todd Thomas has just the right quality of voice for the role of the dark and dangerous Scarpia,” he said.

Paterson will return to Opera Lyra as the guest conductor to lead the Tosca company and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

The opera is a political thriller, set in Rome during Napoleon’s invasion of Italy in 1805.

Pre-opera chats will be available, hosted by the Opera Lyra Guild, free for ticket holders on

Sept. 6, 10 and 13 in English and Sept. 8 in French at 7 p.m. in the Mezzanine at the Na-tional Arts Centre.

Mother called it character building. My sister Audrey had another name

for it, which she told me not to repeat in front of Mother.

Every time I asked for some-thing as simple as new hair ribbons and Mother reminded me there was a Depression on, and no money for frivolities, she called it character building. When Marguirite did something nasty to me, Mother called it character building.

When my brother Emerson did me some dastardly deed, Mother called it character build-ing. I fi gured I had enough char-acter building in the 1930s to last me into the next century.

And so it was when the old aunt who appeared unan-nounced at least twice a year, and Audrey and I had to give up our bed upstairs, and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen, foot to foot -- Mother called it character building.

The summer was beastly hot that year. The upstairs was like

an oven. Even with the windows wide open in the boy’s room and the hall, the slight breeze did little to cool it off.

And when Auntie arrived, she went right upstairs like she owned the place, and put her tapestry bag on the chair and laid claim to the bed Audrey and I shared. We were doomed for the creton couch in the kitchen.

Apart from the narrowness of the couch, sleeping in the kitch-en was not a hardship in the summer, because the Findlay Oval had already been moved to the summer kitchen, quilts hung on the windows in the daytime to keep the sun out, and the kitchen became the coolest room in the house. It was the

narrow couch that was the bane of our existence.

Out in the summer kitchen was an old wire couch, the kind where one part sat on top of the other when it wasn’t in use, but when pulled apart became a double bed.

Moving the cook stove to the summer kitchen, left one wall bare, and Audrey asked Mother why the old wire couch couldn’t be moved into the regular kitch-en for Audrey and me.

Mother hardly gave the idea a moment’s consideration (she was busy cooking dande-lion greens, a favourite dish of Aunty’s), and said she saw no reason at all why the couch couldn’t be moved into the main

kitchen. The boys could do that little chore when they came in for supper.

After Audrey and I had red-ded up the kitchen, the three brothers dragged the wire couch into the coolest room in the house, and we hauled in the thin felt fold-over mattress.

We didn’t even bother with sheets, so glad were we to have someplace to sleep other than the narrow creton couch, and a cool place at that.

The walls of that old house were paper thin. And before we fell asleep, Audrey and I heard Aunty get up several times to use the chamber pot, walk across the fl oor to the window, and let out long and purposeful sighs.

She also had the habit of talking to herself, almost whis-pers, but loud enough that we could hear her from our couch downstairs. “Whew..hot...boy...whew,” we heard long into the night.

There were many opportunities for character building

Cheese tostaditas with nectarine salsa an easy appetizer

Lifestyle - These colourful bites are a hit with all ages. Make and refrigerate ingredients ahead of time, then have friends or family help fi ll the cups at serving time.

For a faster version, omit the cheese fi lling, double the salsa and let everyone help them-selves. Preparation time: 45 minutes. Makes 24 appetizers.

INGREDIENTS

• 125 g (4 oz) light cream cheese, softened • 1 clove garlic, minced • 4 ml (3/4 tsp) dried oregano leaves • 4 ml (3/4 tsp) each ground cumin and chili powder • 24 corn tortilla cups (scoops) Salsa:• 250 ml (1 cup) diced nectarines or peaches • 125 ml (1/2 cup) fi nely diced sweet red pepper • 75 ml (1/3 cup) minced fresh coriander • 50 ml (1/4 cup) fi nely diced red onion

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) minced jalapeno pepper • Grated zest of 1 lime • 5 ml (1 tsp) fresh lime juice

PREPARATION

In a small bowl, blend together the cheese, garlic, oregano, cumin and chili powder until smooth. Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the nectarines, sweet pepper, coriander, onion, jala-peno pepper, lime zest and juice.

To serve, spoon or pipe 5 ml (1 tsp) of the cheese fi lling into each cup (scoop) and top with 10 ml (2 tsp) of salsa.

Tips: For easy piping, put cheese mixture into plastic bag, and seal and snip the corner of the bag to create small opening.

If making the cheese fi lling ahead of time, cover the mixture and refrigerate. Soften it in a microwave before fi lling cups.

When Aunty came down-stairs in the morning, she didn’t look at all happy. The house had been cleared of Fa-ther and the boys, and Mother was bustling around the kitch-en, already thinking of the next meal for the table.

Aunty was in the same long black dress she came in. The only thing that was missing was the starched white collar

and the bonnet. She was fan-ning herself with a copy of the Renfrew Mercury.

“Sure is hot upstairs,” she said. “Not a bit of air any-where. Hardly slept a wink.”

Mother, Audrey and me were in the summer kitchen getting into the day’s work. Audrey, who was already clearing up the breakfast dishes, and set-ting out the dish pan of hot soapy water on the table while Mother bustled about fi lling a

soup bowl with porridge for Aunty, gave me a poke while passing me, “I’ll give you a nickel if you tell Aunty that’s what we call character build-ing in this here house.”
