Seniors may struggle with new transit line: Rick Chiarelli Transit committee approves $148million, 14-kilometre corridor project BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Battle of the brushes

During the year’s first Art Battle – a live painting event with a competitive twist – on Jan. 31, local artists race against the clock at Arts Court Theatre with only 20 minutes to create an original painting while a circling audience watches. After three rounds of painting and voting by the audience, the night’s winner was Bells Corners artist Sarah O’Neill. O’Neill was one of two Nepean residents to battle it out. The other, Sheri Thompson, was a finalist in the third round. See story and photos on page 3.

First Art Battle of 2017 pits artists against the clock Staff
Twelve local artists brought their grit to Arts Court Theatre for the year’s first Art Battle on Jan. 31, but the audience could only name one winner. During Art Battle — a live painting event with a competitive twist — artists race against the clock with only 20 minutes to create the best work they can while circling patrons watch. At the end of each round — three, in the case of the Jan. 31 event — the audience votes for their favourite painting and bids in a silent auction to take the work home. The night’s winner after three rounds was Bells Corners graphic designer Sarah O’Neill. To see some of O’Neill’s work, visit sarahconeill.com. Art Battle International holds monthly live painting competitions in 50 cities around the world. Competitions are free to enter, and often come with a cash prize for the winning artist. To learn more about the series and see a schedule of events, visit artbattle.com.

New line may carry 10,000 riders per day Continued from page 1
Transportation chair Keith Egli said increasing the number of stops would impact the project’s ability to be rapid. The new transit line could carry 10,000 riders a day. But if stops are too difficult to get to, the city might not get the numbers on ridership they’re hoping for, ShaverJones said. Another resident, Kathy McVean, said the project doesn’t take into account the impact on riders. “That seems to fly in the face of increased ridership,” she said of the longer walks for some people to reach bus stops. The project is similar to the configuration already in use on Chapman Mills Drive in Barrhaven. Rather than placing the transit lanes on the outer part of the street, they will be along the median, for faster flow of traffic, said manager of transportation planning for the city, Vivi Chi. The project will be built in two phases – the goal for the first, from Baseline Station to Heron Station, is for it to be operational before 2031.
The project would cost $140 million from Baseline to Heron, with another $8 million in “transit priority measures,” according to staff. Shovels could be in the ground as soon as 2020, said OC Transpo GM John Manconi, provided the funding comes through from other levels of government. “What we don’t have yet are the dollars to start construction,” Chi said. Aside from construction, the city will have to expropriate nearly 200 pieces of property. Some would be a sliver of frontage while about 15 homes would have to be expropriated completely. The federal government owns 10 properties that will need to be acquired – including a portion of the Central Experimental Farm. Chiarelli said the city should talk A depiction of the transit plan for the Baseline-Heron corridor. with residents about purchasing their homes in advance of the project so they don’t have to sit in limbo waiting for the expropriation process to begin. Manconi said if the city begins the project in 2020, the city could begin those negotiations as soon as 2018 or 2019.

Attacks will make us stronger
T
he murder of six people and the wounding of others at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Quebec on Jan. 29 shocked all of Canada. And yet in the midst of all of the horror of this tragic shooting, Canadians have come together. Such hatred, prejudice and racism as represented by this act of violence have no place in our society, and Canadians across the country have been quick and unified in denouncing such action and showing love and compassion for those directly impacted. Are you surprised? By the shooting and deaths — yes, because an attack like this on those in a worship space has not happened before in this country. But we have not been surprised by the reaction of Canadians because we care about each other, we respect each other’s beliefs and we value our diversity. The actions of one person, as evidenced in this tragedy, are not going to shake our faith in each other. If anything, this has become an opportunity to express what it means to be a Canadian, what it means to be a part of a society that embraces dif-
ficult cultures, different faiths, different viewpoints and how our common values are paramount and bring us together as one. Will we ever forget this tragic shooting and those who died or were injured? No, just as we have not forgotten the 1989 massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal where 14 women were killed in a rampage, also by a solo shooter filled with hatred. And just like the Montreal massacre has led to ongoing and enhanced awareness of violence against women, we know that this murderous rampage in Quebec City will become a similar incident of focus that will lead to greater awareness and advocacy of our Canadian belief in diversity and acceptance. So those who died on Jan. 29 will not have died in vain. Their memory will live on and will be yet another building block in the continuing project of creating the Canadian society that we all want to see and experience, one that respects and enjoys the diversity and differences that each of us brings to our cultural mosaic.
Hold on tight as province puts brakes on road tolls
S
ure, it’s kind of cheap fun to sit back and watch the city of Toronto fight with the Ontario provincial government. Too bad there has to be a winner, some would say. But the issue is serious and might be coming our way in the not-toodistant future. The argument is over tolls on highways. Toronto, after years of dilly-dallying while its traffic congestion went from bad to awful, finally bit the bullet and decided to start charging drivers for the use of the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway. Not so fast, said the province, for reasons that may not be entirely non-political. It’s an interesting and important discussion. The Don Valley and the Gardiner are the two main entrance roads into Toronto’s downtown. They clog

gry. Others thought it was not a bad idea. And a third group thought it was a good idea that didn’t go nearly far enough. Tory’s proposal, a $2 a time toll for use of the Don Valley and the Gardiner, was seen as occupying an unfortunate middle ground — enough to be irritating but not enough to deter most drivers and not enough to raise the big money Toronto’s transit system needs. There were better ways, it was suggested. But just when the debate over the plan was about to begin, Ontario’s Premier, Kathleen Wynne, stopped it by declaring that Toronto would not be allowed to put tolls in place. There is the suggestion that this was done to curry favour with people who live in the suburbs surrounding the city, whose votes Wynne needs in an election. ediTorial: Managing ediTor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com news ediTor: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 reporTer: Megan Delaire, megan.delaire@metroland.com, 613-221-6237 poliTical reporTer: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220

She sweetened the pot a bit by offering the city a larger share of gasoline tax revenues, which is nice, but the deterrent effect of a toll was lost. If it was there in the first place. The mystery continues, no nearer to a solution.

MP right to comment Gun control measures make us all safer on Trudeau visit To the editor,
To the editor,
I don’t agree with your Jan. 26 editorial criticizing MP Pierre Poilievre’s statement concerning Prime Minister Trudeau’s visit to Manotick. He had the right to express his views as much as Trudeau does during his “do you still love me” selfie tour. The PM’s cross-Canada tour is all about politics and anyone, including members of Parliament, have the right and responsibility to share their views. The election has been over for 18 months and time Trudeau starting acting as a prime minister should. He and his government should be dealing with their seemingly desire to bankrupt Canada with their insane deficit spending. Now making matters worse with their planned introduction of carbon taxes which will only increase costs for everything we purchase and do very little, if anything, about climate change. Let us not forget that this is a government than took over a $1-billion surplus and is now increasing their election promise of a “small” deficit of $10 billion to $30 billion-plus. Our debt keeps increasing and this government just doesn’t seem to care. Also wondering what the PM’s sunny ways tour is costing us already over-taxed Canadians? Poilievre’s views, especially when they are right, should not be set aside just because the PM is visiting a location in an opposing members riding. Lindsay Hepburn Kanata

NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF A ZONING AMENDMENT Zoning Study: Small-scale Industrial Uses in Commercial Zones
In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-law Amendment proposal affects lands in commercial zones, city-wide, as follows: AM-Arterial Mainstreet; GM-General Mixed-Use; LC-Local Commercial Use; MC-Mixed Use Centre; MD-Mixed Use Downtown; TD-Transit-Oriented Development; TM-Traditional Mainstreet; RC-Rural Commercial Zone; VM-Village Mixed-Use Zone. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT Amendments to the Zoning By-law are being considered to permit small-scale, low-impact industrial uses, including micro-breweries, micro-distilleries and small-scale food processing associated with restaurants. The Study will also consider opportunities to permit small-scale manufacturing such as maker spaces, a location where tools and other resources are shared to produce prototypes and manufacture small batches of product. The amendments would permit land uses that combine retail store, retail food store, catering establishment, restaurant or bar with small-scale forms of low-impact industrial uses. The study will focus on commercial zones where restaurants, bars and retail uses are already permitted. The proposed amendments would: • Define and permit low impact, small-scale industrial activities • Allow small-batch manufacturing as a non-accessory component of a business • Provide new opportunities for small business • Contribute to the development of vibrant commercial streets RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS N/A FURTHER INFORMATION For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, contact:

Well, we the common people know Ms. Leslie better than she knows herself, where it is always more of the same argument of ignorance and bias of the people support something people like her do not approve of. In this case, it is coming from someone who would have preferred Hillary Clinton, an American equivalent of Kathleen Wynne for president, and most likely because the feminist Leslie wanted her more because of her female gender than anything else. No different than similar “progressives” prioritized voting for Obama because of his black race. People like Leslie are often hypocritically – just as bad or worse than the people they condemn – in this case just as ignorant and biased, thus who cares what they think.

In light of those horrific shootings in Quebec City that left six dead and numerous others injured, many Canadians will re-ignite the debate on the efficacy of our gun laws. And rightfully so! Canada’s approach to gun control is similar to most western nations. Guns are an efficient way to kill: almost half (46 per cent) of victims shot with guns will die. The proportion of completed suicides is highest with a firearm (92 per cent). Guns are easy to use and rather impersonal. Medical experts say it takes a less well-informed motive to shoot someone than to beat someone to death. Firearms are inherently dangerous consumer products. Between 1970 and 2000, guns killed more than 40,000 people in this country – more than the 39,000 Canadian soldiers who died in the Second World War. Gun related deaths and injuries are linked to a complex set of factors, including the culture of violence. Stricter gun control, predicated on a commitment to
public health and safety as well as the detection and deterrence of criminal activity, is a critical part of the solution. Education to reduce the primary demand is also fundamental. Without question, the federal government’s gun control leg-

Get the kids moving to ward off depression
A
t the start of the school year, I decided it was time to upgrade my smartphone. My telecommunications provider loves me because, since 2004, I’ve only upgraded twice. They offered me a great deal on an iPhone 6s and then talked me into handing down my old phone to my pre-teen son. The kids are always moaning that “every one of their friends has a cell phone except me.” I figured I might as well try him out on it under supervision, while I still have an ounce of control over how he’s using it. Once he’s in high school, I figure, he’ll have free rein of social media use. I wanted to give him some guidance. I noticed something. Maybe it’s just pre-teen hormones kicking in, maybe it’s that he’s already starting to carve out that adolescent independence,
and Technology and NTNU Social Research, published in the February 2017 issue of Pediatrics, may have the answer. Researchers there tracked nearly 800 children over a number of years to determine the impact of physical activity on mental health. They found that physical fitness helped ward off depression in the kids they studied. “Being active, getting sweaty every five minutes.

City moves ahead with Wellington Street site for mega library Chantal Cloutier, president of the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association, said the “friends” will support the project. “We are thrilled at what a new, modern, centralized library location will do for Ottawa,” she said, adding FOPLA will support the project by raising $500,000 annually. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli also said he supports the project. “A fair and reasonable approach has been taken to find the best location in a number of ways,” he said. Egli said he regrets not being on library board for this term of council, as he’d like to be part of the important, city-building project. Egli said he would support opening a satellite branch at City Hall, to make it a “people’s place.” “I think it’s time we turn the page on this issue, and start a new chapter in the city and get this library built,” he said. Watson has backed the board’s decision. “I am proud to support Somerset Ward with this $168-million investment that promotes LRT (light rail transit) use,” he tweeted on Jan. 31. The city’s share of the multi million-dollar, 20,000-square building would be $99 million. That contribution is based on plans that the city would use 62 per cent of available floor space. The feds would chip in the rest.

In a last-ditch effort to get the city to reconsider its preferred site for the city’s central library, advocates flooded the Jan. 31 board meeting to have their say. John Smit, manager of policy and urban development for the city, said Lebreton Flats has been targeted as an area that would be reintegrated into the downtown. His comment was part of the staff presentation at the library board meeting that made a case for the site’s selection. A central library was part of the two proposals that competed as part of the National Capital Commission’s call for proposals last spring. Since the plans were unveiled, Mayor Jim Watson and library board chair Tim Tierney have said the city’s process was independent. The process included a fairness commissioner, three opportunities for public comment, and a series of criteria used to evaluate the dozen potential sites that the board voted on. The site is at 557 Wellington St. is near the intersection of Albert Street and Bronson Avenue. It’s also at the base of a very deep escarpment, thanks to the Booth Street hill. Tierney said the aim was to balance land and use objectives with the goal of creating a livable, vibrant, urban area. “There were 12 sites considered,” Tierney said, making a point of saying that ConfederaTIMELINES Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland tion Park — an idea that has popped up in the last couple of weeks — was not one of those Chantal Cloutier, presdient of Friends of the Ottawa Public LIbrary Association, speaks Council will get the final vote on the board’s options. in favour of the 557 Wellington St. site during the Jan. 31 library board meeting that ap- choice of site on Feb. 8, but the financial plan won’t be available until June. proved it.

Vigil held at Algonquin College for victims of Quebec mosque shooting by Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
Almost 100 people filled a conference room at Algonquin College on Jan. 30 for a vigil honouring the victims of the deadly shooting at a Quebec City mosque. Among the mourners were religious and cultural leaders, representatives of federal and provincial government, and college staff and students who shared words of grief and comfort with the crowd. “In light of these events that happen that are beyond our comprehension, what we can do is we can stand together and say, ‘We care about you, we love you, this is intolerable and we will not sit back and accept it, but we will stand up,’” said Dianne Cardin, reverend of the Barrhaven United Church. “And we will stand together. It is really grief and horror and sadness and shock that brings us together, but it is also love and compassion.” Six people were killed and 19 injured in an attack on the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec on Jan. 29. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the shooting as a terrorist attack in a statement on Jan. 30, describing it as an act of “senseless violence.” According to the Office of the Coroner of Quebec, the six men who died were Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42; Abdelkrim Hassane, 41; Khaled Belkacemi, 60; Aboubaker Thabti, 44; Azzeddine Soufiane, 57; and Ibrahima Barry,
39. Following the attack, Montreal’s police department announced it would increase police presence near mosques in an effort to help foster a sense of security among the city’s Muslim community. According to media reports, Montreal police Chief Philippe Pichet said the city has seen a spike in hate crimes since the shooting in Quebec City. In Ottawa, police have not confirmed whether they believe there is a an increased risk for hate crimes, but police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy said the department has taken measures to increase police presence near

Two trapped in vehicles after crash at Fallowfield and Eagleson Roads Staff
Two people had to be freed from their vehicles by firefighters after a car and a commercial truck collided at the intersection of Fallowfield and Eagleson Roads on Feb. 2. The collision, which happened shortly before 1 p.m., came less than two weeks after another crash at the intersection killed one person and hospitalized two others. After they confirmed that there were people trapped, firefighters stabilized the vehicles with cribbing, extended a hose as a safety precaution and began extrication. Firefighters freed the occupant of the car — a
26-year-old man — by 1:10 p.m., after removing a door and a seat. He was treated for abdominal and leg injuries and taken to the Ottawa Hospital’s trauma centre in serious but stable condition. During the crash, the truck rolled over completely, coming to rest upright. But because of the damage to the truck’s roof and doors, firefighters had to cut the 57-year-old male driver out of the wreck. Because of his injuries, paramedics had to stabilize the man inside the truck’s cab while firefighters worked to extricate him. He was extricated by 1:21 p.m., treated for facial and chest injuries, and taken to

The city is one step closer to realizing the dream of hosting the 2021 Canada Summer games.

Carrot and farro salad a tasty alternative for lunch This salad is packed with fresh ingredients, chewy farro and beans. Leftovers pack well for lunch. Look for farro in the bulk section at your supermarket. If you like, substitute pearl barley for the farro. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Standing time: 15 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) semipearled farro - 2 cups (500 mL) diced carrots - ¼ cup (50 mL) apple cider vinegar - 1 tbsp (15 mL) honey - 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) Dijon mustard - ¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) vegetable oil - 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed - ¾ cup (175 mL) crumbled feta cheese - 1/3 cup (75 mL) finelychopped shallots - 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped fresh parsley leaves Preparation instructions
Bring large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Add farro and return to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until tender but somewhat chewy, adding carrots in the last five minutes of cooking. Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper, gradually whisking in oil until
blended. Drain farro mixture and add to bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes. Stir in beans, cheese, shallot and parsley; toss to combine. Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Tip: Farro is available whole grain, semi-pearled and precooked and can take 10 to 30 minutes to cook. Semi-pearled farro has had some of its tough outer bran removed.

Ottawa Hospital wins two Trillium Gift of Life awards by Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
Megan DeLaire/Metroland
Dr. Joe Pagliarello, a trauma surgeon with the Ottawa Hospital, received the hospital’s two newest awards on its behalf from Karen Johnson, the Gift of Life Network’s director of hospital programs on Jan. 27. He attributed the hospital’s success in the field of organ donation and transplantation to a culture its staff has carefully cultivated over the years.
Pet Adoptions

quality time spent: pets don’t complain; they don’t ask us to talk about our feelings; they don’t give advice we didn’t ask for. Just love. • Caring for a pet keeps us active and engaged. Knowing we have to get out to walk the dog might be the only thing that gets us some fresh air and exercise on a gloomy winter day. Keeping active for our pets will help improve our energy levels and mood as well. And, simply caring for a pet each day can help keep us engaged and feeling valuable and needed, with a positive focus to get us through the winter. • Pets connect us to people. Pets can be the easiest conversation starters with other people when we are feeling isolated in the dead of winter. Taking the dog for a walk or to the park might turn into a positive social experience meeting other animal lovers who may need a friendly chat as much as we do. • Pets keep us healthy. Research shows that owning a pet can be linked to lower blood pressure, a better balance of natural hormones and chemicals in our bodies, better fitness, and fewer visits to the doctor than those who choose not to keep an animal companion around. So as we endure another frigid February here in Ottawa, hang in there, and know that comfort, companionship, and some help cheering up are just a tail-wag away.
Cheer Up Pup! As Ottawa residents, we are not strangers to winter’s harsh temperatures, treacherous weather conditions, and dull, dark, dismal days. Unfortunately, for some of us, winter can take its toll as we succumb to what is commonly known as the “winter blues.” Common symptoms of the winter blues include loss of energy, increased appetite, and feelings of depression. Fortunately, when feeling the brunt of the winter season weighing down, we can find comfort and cheer in both the benefits and responsibilities that come with caring for our pets. Here’s how: • Pets provide a unique form of simple, unconditional love and companionship. With a pet, any time together is uncomplicated,
Pet of the Week: Chico (ID# A198680) Meet Chico, a smart and loyal dog looking for his new best friend. Chico is an active boy who loves to run around and play in the snow. He can be a little shy at first, so he’s looking for an experienced dog owner who can help him come out of his shell. Once he gets to know you, he’ll always be by your side. Chico would prefer to be the only dog in the home, so he can have all of his new family’s love to himself. For more information on Chico and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Hundreds of life-saving organs have passed through the Ottawa Hospital’s doors bound for recipients with different illnesses and different reasons to keep living. On Jan. 27, the Trillium Gift of Life Network recognized the institution and its organ donors, presenting the hospital with two awards for accomplishments in organ donation. “We’re very proud of our team,” Dr. Renate Ilse, vicepresident of the hospital’s clinical program, said during the awards presentation at the hospital’s General campus. “I think what I’m most proud of here at the Ottawa Hospital is the culture of celebration that we have around organ and tissue donation and transplantation.” For exceeding the province’s target conversion rate — the percentage of potential organ donors who go on to become actual donors — of 67 per cent, the hospital received the Trillium Gift of Life Network’s Hospital Achievement Award. In 2015-16, the hospital’s conversion rate of 79 per cent resulted in 35 people donating their organs after death. The only institution in Ontario that reported more organ donors in 2015-16 was Hamilton Health Sciences, with 37 donors. The Ottawa Hospital has hit these markers, including exceeding the target conversion rate, for five consecutive years. That’s why, for the second time in two years, the hospital also received the Trillium Gift of Life Network’s Award of Excellence. The
award recognizes hospitals that have met the conversion rate for four or more consecutive years. The Ottawa Hospital is one of only four in Ontario to receive the award this year, and, compared with hospitals of a similar size, it ranks second for conversion rate and total donations in 2015-16. Dr. Joe Pagliarello, a trauma surgeon with the hospital, is no stranger to accolades for work in organ donation and transplants. He received the Trillium Gift of Life Network’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016 for his transformative work advancing Ontario’s or-
my physician colleagues at both the intensive care units,” he said. “They have a degree of commitment to organ donation that is unparalleled. And they have a degree of commitment to the whole process of making this work and getting the best outcomes from our donation program.” In 2015 and 2016, hospitals in Ontario dealt with 296 deceased organ donors and performed 1,173 life-saving transplants. In the same period, more than 2,200 tissue donors improved the lives of others by donating their corneas, skin, bone and heart valves.

And on Jan. 27, he received the hospital’s two newest awards on its behalf from Karen Johnson, the Gift of Life Network’s director of hospital programs. “We’re not a major transplant centre, but we are a major donation centre,” Pagliarello said after receiving the award. “That’s what we’ve developed and that’s what we’ve taken pride in over the years.” He attributed the hospital’s success with organ donation to a culture that its staff has gradually developed and nurtured over years of hard work. “It starts with some people that I’m very, very pleased to be associated with, and that’s
“These numbers are recordbreaking,” Johnson said. “And 2015-16 was the best year yet for donation in Ontario. In 2015-16, as a result of the work [of the Ottawa Hospital] we had 35 donors here.” The Trillium Gift of Life network says there are 1,500 people in Ontario seeking a life-saving organ transplant and every three days someone dies waiting. One donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of 75 people by contributing vital organs and tissue.

Heart Health Month kicks off in Canada Heart disease is the second-leading cause of death in Canada, and research in this area is an important tool in improving the lives of Canadians affected by this disease. Minister of Health Jane Philpott announced an investment of almost $2.9 million to fund five research projects that will support new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease. ottawa
Philpott made the announcement during a tour of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute at the start of Heart Health Month. The investment from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research will fund five cutting-edge research projects, including: • Dr. David Birnie received over $600,000 to conduct the first study of its kind in the world to learn more about cardiac sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease that can cause sudden death • Dr. Wenbin Liang received $577,000 to study how to develop more effective therapies for treating irregular heartbeats, a condition which affects over 1 million Canadians

Ottawa is an inclusive city, where we are made stronger by everybody’s heritage, beliefs, ideas and cultures – not in spite of them. As we hear more and more discord in the world I would encourage you to reach out to your neighbours, especially the ones you don’t know and get to know them. I believe working together as a community provides a better way of life for all. January in review

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