Single mother Kara Shaw Plourde, with the arm of a supportive friend draped around her, watched silently as her home was destroyed in front of her Tuesday, Nov. 21, the victim of historic Ottawa River flooding last spring.

“The flooding started on my one-year anniversary in our new home,” Plourde told the West Carleton Review of the house she shares with her two young daughters.

Plourde had been renting in Constance Bay, loved the area and wanted to put down roots.

She bought the home on Baillie Avenue in May 2016.

Plourde’s house was one of two family homes demolished in Constance Bay last week.

Jeff Smith and Christine Reneaud are the owners of the other home, which was demolished on Friday, Nov. 24.

Kara Shaw Plourde’s Constance Bay was demolished on Constance Bay Buckham’s Tuesday, Nov. 21, a victim of the Ottawa River flood last Bay Community Association spring.

Flood a year long problem for homeowners Continued from page 1

“Their situations are not sustainable and they are the embodiment of five people teetering on the edge.”

Russell has been on the flood’s front lines since the river first crested as record rainfall and snowmelt combined to create the worst flood in Ottawa Valley history.

“We didn’t do anything to Kara’s house until June,” Russell said. “We didn’t think it was going to be a problem. It was more the ground water rising than the river flooding. You could drive by this house and it looked fine.”

But it wasn’t fine on the inside.

On May. 4, Plourde started pumping.

“There was a stream in my basement,” she said. “I was averaging 18 gallons a minute. I was able to keep the water down, but that was when the flooding was slowing down.”

The centre of her house started sinking — four inches in one area.

Following that, the outside started buckling.

“I stayed here as long as I could,” Plourde said. “I stayed until July. Until they kicked me out. I was so lucky to find a place to rent nearby.”

But since July, the single mom has been paying rent on one place and mortgage on another just around the corner.

Plourde hasn’t been able to work since the flooding started. The selfemployed graphic designer has even had to turn down work as, first she battled the flood, and now “I am learning how to rebuild,” she said.

Plourde says she is lucky to be close by. It meant her children could stay in their school and she could continue to monitor her dire situation.

“Stonecrest Elementary was phenomenally supportive,” Lourde said.

“I got a call from them, and they said don’t even make their lunches, just

Above right, Plourde receives some support through a hug as her home is destroyed in the background. send them. And they took care of everything else. I’m fortunate the kids weren’t uprooted. We’re lucky in the Bay, because we really do have a village. It’s an amazing community.”

Despite the support, money is still short. Plourde is getting some financial help from the Red Cross, but for both families who lost their homes last week, there is lots more help needed.

The CBBCA is leading the efforts to help raise $45,000 each for the families affected. The money will help each family rebuild as the disaster relief funding covers only up to 90 per cent of the cash paid out. The funding is not insurance and does not pay out based on the loss, but on the cash paid out. Each family must pay out in cash at least 10 per cent, with no credit for donated material or labour. Because there are septic systems involved in these particular cases, there is an added cost to the families.

Both homes, assuming the financing plan comes through, will be considerably smaller than the ones they are replacing.

“The provincial program only works for people who were moderately impacted and those who have lots

of spare credit,” Russell said. “The choices for the families are stark. Pay money you don’t have or lose your home but keep the mortgage.“ Meanwhile, all involved are getting back to work. In the next few weeks, foundation and septic construction will start and the MDS will return in December, work through the winter and hopefully help “bring this very sad chapter in our community’s history to a close.”

The MDS has provided volunteer service for those in need for 60 years.

Volunteers repair and rebuild homes damaged by disasters. Their big white and blue truck was on scene in Constance Bay seemingly the same time as the flood, and it hasn’t left since.

MDS volunteer Osiah Horst was on hand the day Plourde’s home was demolished.

“I don’t do much of the heavy lifting anymore,” Horst said. “I

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Re-naming of École élémentaire publique Kanata I was thrilled to welcome her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette to école élémentaire publique Kanata at a renaming ceremony for the school. The school now holds the name école élémentaire publique Julie-Payette, as well as a wonderful new coat of arms honouring our Governor General.

I would like to thank her Excellency for visiting our community as well as all the excellent staff and students present at the ceremony.

Kanata Santa Clause Parade Our community kicked off the holiday season on a lovely, cold, day with the Hazeldean Lions Club Holiday Parade. Even the snow helped set the scene! I had the honour of walking in the parade alongside hard working community members such as the Kanata Lasers hockey team. Thank you to everyone who came out to the parade and to all the volunteers for your wonderful help!

Bridlewood Tree Lighting As the holidays approach, our communities are joining the festivities in a variety of ways. Last week, I was happy to join Councillor Allan Hubley and members of the community at the 2nd Annual Bridlewood Tree Lighting. I was also pleased to sit in on the Bridlewood Community Association’s meeting and give an update on what our government is currently working on.

Updated mapping for Constance Creek Special to the Review

Updated flood plain mapping affecting Constance Creek and Huntley Creek in West Carleton is being proposed by the City of Ottawa.

Amendments to the city’s zoning bylaw to update the flood plain mapping along these watercourses are now being proposed by the city’s planning and growth management department.

These amendments are the second of a series of such amendments in a multi-year program to implement updated flood plain mapping received from the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority as well as from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the South National Conservation Authority pertaining to other affected watercourses in their areas of jurisdiction.

The City of Ottawa has partnered with these three conservation authorities to update the flood plain mapping in the city’s zoning bylaw. The updated mapping and subsequent rezoning is based on the most accurate information available regarding the elevation of lands adjacent to watercourses.

This topographical information was provided by the city to the conservation authorities, which in turn generated updated flood plain mapping for use in the zoning bylaw.

A provincial policy statement does not permit development to occur on lands within the 100-year flood plain.

Lands within a 100-year flood plain have a one-per-cent chance of flooding in any given year.

The city, for its part, is required to have policies in its

Cybersecurity in Kanata I was pleased to participate in discussions with local businesses on the challenges facing Canada’s cyber security companies today. Cyber security is now a critical component of our daily lives. I look forward to continuing the dialogue and learning more about the issues that matter most to our communities.

Keep Ottawa Warm As the cold weather sets in, we must remember those in our communities who will be the most affected. I have joined the #KeepOttawaWarm campaign by placing a donation box outside my office door at 555 Legget Drive, Suite 121, for anyone to come by and donate their winter clothing. Donations will go to the Ottawa Mission, Shepherds of Good Hope, and Cornerstone Housing for Women. Please consider donating some clothing so that everyone can keep warm.

ping and rezoning.

This could involve making an oral submission at a public meeting dealing with the matter or making a written submission to the city of Ottawa before the proposed zoning changes are made.

For more information about this zoning bylaw amendment related to the updating of flood plain mapping along Constance Creek and Huntley Creek in West Carleton, please contact City of Ottawa planner Carol Ruddy by Dec. 22, 2017.

She can be contacted at City of Ottawa, planning and growth management department, 110 Laurier Ave. W., 4th Floor, Ottawa, Ont., K1P 1J1.

These zoning bylaw amendments pertaining to Constance Creek and Huntley Creek are scheduled to go before council’s agriculture and rural affairs committee as well as the planning committee and finally full city council in March 2018.

Annual meeting for West Carleton Garden Club by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

Look for the West Carleton Garden Club’s float in the Christmas parade in Carp on Dec. 9.

“It wouldn’t be Christmas without having a float in the Carp Christmas parade,” club president Brenda Baird wrote in her president’s message in the club’s 2016/2017 yearbook, a message that she reinforced by announcing the club’s plan to have a float in this year’s parade when speaking at the club’s annual general meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at the Carp Memorial Hall.

The float this year will feature red and white colours with a Canada 150 theme, she said. It will feature popular Canadian symbols such as a Tim Hortons coffee mug, a hockey jersey, a toonie, a beaver, Big Joe Mufferaw and perhaps a skater and even a moose.

On Tuesday, Dec. 12, a couple of days after the Dec. 9 parade, the West Carleton Garden Club will be holding its annual Christmas potluck for members at the Carp Memorial Hall.

There will also be a silent auction as part of the event and the table centrepieces will be available for purchase afterwards as a fundraiser for the club.

In her president’s report on the annual general meeting, president Baird said that the past year has been a busy one for the club, with a display at the Carp Fair, participation in the 2016 Christmas parade in Carp and looking after community gardens at the Carp Memorial Hall and at the Carp library branch.

She noted that for the first time in a number of years, two of the club’s wintertime meetings in January and March had to be cancelled due to the weather.

She noted that a Canada 150 project to install a walkway leading to the rear reading garden at the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library was completed thanks to a lot of work by the committee members looking after the project. Funding for the project came from the club’s garden tour, a City of Ottawa grant and from the Diefenbooker walk/run.

She said that another Canada 150 project, setting up three pollinator houses with signage in the community gardens, had been delayed and will now become a Canada 151 project for the club.

In the past year the West Carleton Garden Club has held two plant sales and three flower shows.

The club organized a trip to the Mosaic Canada display in Ottawa with the trip also including a visit to the gardens at Rideau Hall.

Also speaking at the West Carleton Garden Club’s annual general meeting was Anne Clark-Stewart of Manotick who is the director at large for District 2 of the Ontario Horticultural Association.

In her remarks, she congratulated the West Carleton Garden Club for winning the provincial award for best

yearbook.

She referenced the various pollinator projects by the horticultural and garden clubs in the district, saying that a pollinator garden map for the district may be produced as there are over 35 pollinator garden projects in the district.

She announced that the district 2 annual general meeting will be held in Manotick in 2018, on April 21 to be exact. She is chair of the planning committee for the event.

She noted that Garden Week in Ontario will be marking its fourth year in 2018, held from June 9 to June 17.

Clark-Stewart also pointed out that the provincial convention will be held in July in Kingston this year which is not that distant for those who might want to attend.

The West Carleton Garden Club’s financial statement for the 2016-2017 year shows total income of $17,759.55 which included $12,015.05 in funding for the Canada 150 project for the walkway to the reading garden at the Carp library branch.

Total expenses for the year were $18,455.99, resulting in an income loss of $696.44 for the year. This compared with a surplus of income of $4,388.30 for the club in the previous financial year. However, the club maintains a good financial position overall with over $10,000 in its bank account plus a $2,000 investment.

At the annual general meeting, the club voted to change wording in the club’s constitution, changing references to the auditing of the club’s financial statements to reviewing the statements.

The executive of the West Carleton Garden Club for the coming year includes Brenda Baird continuing as president, Kathleen Teahen as vicepresident, David Hinks as past president, Donna Christie as secretary and Sheila Stumpf as treasurer.

Those members involved with committees include Karen Buckley and Nancy Argue for membership, Patricia Buchanan for flower show, Ken Sala for website, Anne Gadbois for Facebook, Wendy Good for yearbook, Leislie Alvarenga and Donna Caldwell for hospitality, Dan Stumpf as club photographer, Anne Crosley for programs and Susan Dowler as member at large.

The West Carleton Garden Club meets at 7:30 p.m. on every second Tuesday of the month from September through June at the Carp Memorial Hall in Carp. Membership fees are $15 for a single person and $20 for a family. Membership benefits include education experiences, a monthly newsletter, monthly presentations, and even discounts at some local nurseries and garden centres. All those interested in gardening are welcome to join.

More information can be found at the website www.wcgc.ca. The mailing address for the West Carleton Garden Club is West Carleton Garden Club,

P.O. Box 326, Carp, Ont. K0A 1L0.

The West Carleton Garden Club and Horticultural Society, founded in 1989, is one of 282 societies affiliated with the Ontario Horticultural Association. The club is part of district 2 of the Ontario Horticultural Society, covering Lanark, central and western Ottawa and Renfrew.

The club’s goals are to encourage interest in and improvement in the practice of horticulture by organizing events including monthly meetings to share information to improve horticultural practices, to encourage the planting of trees, shrubs and flowers, to promote beautification

projects, to organize horticultural field trips and exhibits, to distribute seeds, plants and flowers among members and to distribute information and communicate with the public.

The West Carleton Garden Club’s floral emblem is the columbine, a native woodland wildflower with showy, drooping, bell-like flowers equipped with five distinctly backward pointing spurs.

Columbine is known as “the flower of the masses” because once started, it will propagate for years and increase rapidly by self seeding.

No one is willing to speak about how arms were twisted – or favours promised – to get 15 councillors and the mayor to approve the move. The final vote was 16-7.

Coun. Diane Deans voted against the shelter’s construction, pointing out there no winners, only losers. She lamented that the people of Vanier and the Salvation Army now have a fractious relationship, even before the organization moves in.

Sadly, the relationship between urban and suburban councillors is on the rocks too. The Salvation Army’s request to move from Lowertown to Vanier affects two wards directly and two more nearby wards indirectly. Yet the weight of suburban votes for the move tipped the scales.

Coun. Jeff Leiper – who represents Kitchisippi Ward, inside the Greenbelt – pointed out that approval meant over-intensification, and that it runs counter to the city’s own Offica Plan. He was outvoted.

While it may be cheaper to have one mega-shelter

than a number of small locations, the effect on Vanier is likely to be considerable. That cost was forgotten in the rush to stamp the planning documents.

Small shelters can fit in with neighbourhoods instead of overwhelming them. Small shelters make for neighbours. Large ones provide a more-or-less faceless crowd. So on one day we get a 350-bed, menonly shelter approved. And then, just hours later, the federal government commits billions of dollars to reduce homelessness.

Should the city have waited to hear the federal plan before voting to see a mega-shelter built? Of course. And one councillor even put forward such an idea – a 100-day pause – but even that was turned down.

The OMB will also hear that the planning committee chair – Coun. Jan Harder – tossed out members of the public when they were meant to get five minutes to speak to planning committee members. If the councillors on that committee didn’t get the full picture from the public then public consultation never really happened.

It helps make the case – no community deserves to be ignored, Vanier included, and that the OMB should reverse the decision to drop a mega-shelter there.

Climb aboard a streetcar named innovation

P

oliticians in major Canadian cities will be watching Toronto in the weeks to come. Specifically, they will be watching one Toronto street — King Street.

King Street is a busy east-west thoroughfare. People use it to get downtown in their cars. It is a busy retail street and is home to dozens of condos, bars and restaurants. King Street is also home base for the 404, one of Toronto’s busiest streetcars.

Toronto Transit Commission statistics show that streetcar carries 65,000 people a day. Cars carry 20,000 people.

In what seems like an unprecedented step, the city government has decided to give the streetcars precedence by making it inconvenient for cars to travel on King Street.

Specifically, the new rules, which are being tried out on a pilot basis, require cars to turn off King Street at major

Notice of Completion Greenbank Road Watermain Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of the new 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain on Greenbank Road between Jockvale Road and south side of the Jock River. This watermain is needed to meet water supply capacity and reliability requirements in the Nepean Town Centre and Barrhaven South development areas under future development conditions.

This Class EA process determined that the preferred solution is to construct the watermain along the east side of the future Greenbank Road right-of-way, using a trenchless construction technique (horizontal directional drilling) at the Jock River crossing. It was determined that crossing the Jock River by open-cut methods would be problematic, due to geotechnical and environmental concerns. The design and construction of the full extent of the 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain will be coordinated with the Greenbank Road widening and realignment project.

Since the road realignment project has been deferred a number of years, it has also been determined that the watermain project can also be deferred without risk to service levels as development proceeds in the Barrhaven South area. However, there is a need to plan for one or more phases of the watermain to be constructed in coordination with anticipated development north of the Jock River in advance of the road realignment project implementation.

This study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class EA process. A Project File Summary Report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identification and evaluation of alternatives, selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF A ZONING AMENDMENT

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 land in commercial zones city-wide PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed amendment would create a new defined land use, “Storefront Industry,” and permit this use in the urban commercial zones AM, GM, MC, MD, TD and TM, and in the rural commercial zones RC and VM. Storefront Industry would permit small-scale light manufacturing and food processing in association with the on-site sale or service of these goods.

Where permitted, Storefront Industry would: • by definition, include a retail or restaurant component, which may include an outdoor patio in the latter case; • be restricted to a certain maximum floor area (either 200 square metres or 350 square metres, depending on the zone) including storage; • not be permitted to have outdoor storage; and • be required not to cause nuisance due to noise, odour, dust, fumes, vibration, radiation or glare.

Non-food-related Storefront Industry would, also by definition, exclude “mass-production (and) the use or production of flammable, explosive or other hazardous materials” which is considered heavy industry under the Zoning By-law.

Functional design drawings of the proposed road and pathway arrangement will be available online and at the Open House. Both the online consultation and the open house drop-in format provide residents with the opportunity to review the designs and provide comments and direct questions to City staff.

The proposal would modify existing zoning exceptions that currently allow for both light industrial uses and retail or restaurant uses, to provide that storefront industry is allowed on these sites. It would also provide a zoning exception for a nonconforming grain mill at 405 Donald B. Munro Drive in Carp, to permit the existing grain mill or allow it to become a storefront industry.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the contact below before the event.

RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS N/A

Tell Us What You Think You have the opportunity to review the functional design and fill out the feedback questionnaire at the open house on December 11, 2017 or online at ottawa.ca/ScottStreet from December 8 to 18, 2017.

Next Steps The functional design will be refined based on comments received from the public. The detailed design will be carried out in the winter of 2018. Implementation is expected to begin after the LRT’s Confederation Line is operating and the reserved bus lanes are removed.

Complete the feedback questionnaire or email your questions/comments by Monday December 18, 2017 to the project manager below.

Nursery School at Old Quarry Trail Special to the Review

Youngsters at the Carp Cooperative Nursery School visited the Old Quarry Trail recently.

And, just like always, a highlight of the walk on the trail was the opportunity to feed the chickadees who land right in the hand for

the feed.

The Old Quarry Trail is a 2.7 kilometre trail that loops through NCC land between Bridlewood and Bells Corners. It is accessible from parking lots on Eagleson Road and Old Richmond Road as well as by numerous trail entrances.

The trail provides an opportunity for trail users to see wildlife including birds like the chickadees.

The Old Quarry Trail features some boardwalk areas where the trail goes across marshes. The trail runs through a mixed forest area.

We are looking for carriers to deliver our newspapers.

Call: 613.432.3655 ext. 31 or 1.800.884.9195

Date: Thursday, December 7, 2017 Location: Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Pl, K2V 1A2 Time: 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.)

OC Transpo routes: 61, 88, 167 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The previous Open House for this project was held in June 2017. At that time, the City presented the evaluation of alternative corridors and identified a preliminary preferred corridor.

To date, the Study Team has finalized the recommended corridor and at this open house will present design details on the recommended plan, station locations and concept designs, and the requirement for a light maintenance and storage facility.

The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts.

Information to date is available at ottawa.ca/KanataLRT. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the project manager below before the event.

For further information or to provide comments, please contact: Angela Taylor, P.Eng. Senior Project Engineer Transportation Planning - Transportation Services Department City of Ottawa Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 15210 Email: Angela.Taylor@ottawa.ca

When a snowstorm begins, crews clear snow on high priority roads, main arterials and collectors first and then move to residential roads. The City has developed maintenance standards and they are used to prioritize how frequently roads are plowed, how ice is controlled and how snow is removed. City crews plow residential roads to a snow-packed surface. When necessary, materials will be applied to keep roads safe.

All high priority roads and arterials (like Carp, Dunrobin and March Roads) will start being cleared as accumulation begins to the treatment standard of bare pavement within 2 to 3 hours. The time to clear snow from residential roads (like Charlie’s Lane where I live) starts when there is accumulation of 7 cm or more and will be cleared within 10 hours from the end of snow accumulation to a treatment standard of snow packed.

With approximately 882 km of roads in West Carleton-March, City crews cannot possibly plow all our roads at the same time. The maintenance standards in place work well and keep residents and vehicles moving in the most efficient way possible. More information on snow clearing standards are posted on ottawa.ca.

During a snow event, residents can inquire about snow clearing on their road by submitting an online service request via ottawa.ca, or by calling 3-1-1 directly.

Festive Fair at United Church Annual Christmas market Special to the Review

St. Paul’s United Church in Carp is going to be the place to be this Saturday, Dec. 2.

That’s when the church is hosting a Festive Fair, running from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Featured at this Festive Fair will be a silent auction, Christmas baking, the church’s renowned frozen tourtieres, jams and preserves, knitting, crafts, a white el-

ephant table and more.

The church’s “Repeat Performance” boutique will be open during this Festive Fair, as will the church’s book shop.

In addition, at the same time, the church will be the site of the $100 and Under Christmas Arts/ Crafts event hosted by the West Carleton Arts Society. This West Carleton Arts Society event is happening not only on Satur-

day, Dec. 2 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. but also will take place on Friday, Dec. 1 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and also on Sunday, Dec. 3 from noon to 3 p.m.

So, between the Festival Fair and the $100 and Under Christmas Arts/ Crafts event, St. Paul’s United Church is going to be a bustling place on Saturday, Dec. 2. You will want to be there, as there’s bound to be just

that perfect Christmas gift there for that special person in your life.

St. Paul’s United Church is located at 3760 Carp Rd. in Carp.

Everyone is welcome to attend these events at St. Paul’s United Church on the weekend of Dec. 1-3.

For more information about the Festive Fair, please contact the church office at 613-839-2155.

Special to the Review

The Carp Farmers’ Market is holding its annual Christmas market at the Carp fairgrounds this Friday, Dec. 1 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and this Saturday, Dec. 2 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will be a wide variety of local products and produce available — onestop shopping at its finest!

Besides the presence of over 60 Carp Farmers’ Market vendors, there will also be an international food court and a free gift basket draw featuring items donated by the various vendors.

There will also be a 50/50 draw and

there is a promise by organizers of some special holiday surprises and appearances.

Could Santa Claus have this Christmas market on his schedule?

What is even better, perhaps considered an early Christmas present, is that there is free admission and lots of free parking.

During this Carp Farmers’ Market Christmas market, non-perishable food items will be collected for the West Carleton Food Access Centre. So, those attending are urged to take along a couple of items and help support local families who need your help over the holiday season.

Outdoor hockey league unique experience in Canada by jake davies

jake.davies@metroland.com

For 25 years, West Carleton youth have been playing hockey the way it all began – outside. And the volunteer organizers of the only known outdoor hockey league in Canada are ready to get back at it as the 2018 season approaches.

“We hold it no matter what,” co-convenor Carole Merritt told the West Carleton Review. “Last year wasn’t the best, but that’s the challenge of outdoor hockey.”

Last year’s temperature, and a general warming of the climate, has made maintaining outdoor ice a challenge.

*

But the cold, Merritt has learned in her six years as a volunteer, is never a problem.

“I remember my first year, I thought those little guys aren’t going to be able to go out in minus 30 degree weather (the league has players as young as five),” she recalled. “We’ll let them take breaks after five minutes and give them some hot chocolate to help keep them warm.

Nope, they stayed out there the entire time. We cancel if the ice is too soft, but we never cancel because it’s too cold.”

The league is played on outdoor rinks in Carp, Fitzroy Harbour, Dunrobin, Constance Bay and Kinburn. Each

community has a team in each of the four age categories from five to 15. Merritt says players from Kanata, Renfrew and Lanark county The league is an opportunity for kids to play hockey in a less expensive, more fun-focused atmosphere.

“The games are competitive,” Merritt said.

“But it is recreational. It is a bit of a balance.”

Players are a mix of first-timers, recreationonly players and players that also play competitive hockey.

“Those kids just want to be able to play with their friends, which doesn’t always happen in competitive hockey,” See ICE, page 19

‘Rock the Arts’ puppet show at Carp library branch Special to the Review

The Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library will become a stage for Creatureville’s puppets on Saturday, Dec. 16.

That’s when puppeteer Sarah Argue of West Carleton and others from her Rock the Arts professional puppet company will be at the branch to present “Do You Believe?”, one of her original puppet shows. It is a seasonal show that includes laughter and magic revolving around the actions of the puppet Ned. It’s the first day of winter and there is no snow. Ned will not settle for a snowless winter, so he begins his journey to solve the mystery, eventually discovering the truth and the meaning behind the winter season.

“Do You Believe?” is one of six original puppet shows created by Sarah Argue, all featuring Creatureville puppets. Her Rock the Arts puppet company has staged performances across Canada and even as far away as Australia.

Sarah now has over 80 handmade puppets and she never forgets their names or voices. Ned is one of these.

This 40-minute puppet show “Do You Believe?” is for those aged three to 10 years old. It will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 16 at 10:30 a.m. at the Carp library branch. It is being presented as part of the Ottawa Public Library’s celebrations for Canada 150.

Those attending must register online for this free program at www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca.

Sarah Argue, who grew up in Carp, attended Brock University in St. Catharines for theatre studies with the goal of being an actor. And indeed she became one, touring with a professional children’s show for three years throughout the

United States. She then returned home, leaving the theatre for a job with the City of Ottawa.

But her life changed when she signed up for a workshop with puppeteer Noreen Young. She had grown up watching Young’s Under the Umbrella Tree television show.

This was seven years ago and since then she has made a career out of the art of puppetry.

She taught herself how to make foam puppets and started her Rock the Arts puppet company with the goal of providing both youngsters and adults with an opportunity to laugh while also learning life lessons.

She presented her first show to her motherin-law and now presents 150 shows a year all across Canada at festivals, fairs and schools.

She has called her puppet company Rock the Arts because her puppet endeavours include all of the different arts — live performances, writing the shows and creating CDs with music.

Sarah develops all of her puppet shows herself. Usually she first comes up with a theme of what she wants to teach the kids who will be watching the show. For example, it could be a message to be positive in life. Next comes the puppet who will be featured in the show. For example, for a show about being positive, the puppet would be called “Pozy.” Sarah then would write the script for the show based on the theme and the puppet.

Rock the Arts employs four people, with Sarah always performing with one other puppeteer in her shows.

The shows presented by Rock the Arts vary from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on the venue. The school performances usually include a workshop for the students after the show.

Sarah acknowledges that for some reason, people love puppet shows. She says that kids know that a puppeteer is moving the puppet but notes that as soon as a puppet talks, the puppeteer is gone from the kids’ minds as they are focused on the puppet alone. She hopes that puppetry as an art form will never die.

Red Trillium Studio Tour on Grey Cup weekend Special to the Review

It was Grey Cup weekend Nov. 25-26 but it was also Red Trillium Studio Tour weekend as well.

This semi-annual event (spring and fall) has been running in West Carleton for over 18 years.

In this tour, visitors get to drop into artists, artisans and crafts people right in their own studios, with some studios featuring guest artists as well.

A wide variety of work was available to be seen on last weekend’s Red Trillium Studio Tour including pottery, clay sculptures, watercolours, acrylics, jewelry, beading,

An added treat was a stop at St. Mary’s Church on Sixth Line Road near Dunrobin, where a light lunch was available in addition to three artists on site: Kirstin Davidson with her pottery and clay sculptures; photographer Ginny Fobert; and Lydia Pepin, a first time tour participant, with her oil paintings.

The number of visitors at St. Mary’s Church was down a little this year from the previous year but they were able to enjoy some hot chili along with other refreshments. And they were able to enjoy these refreshments in the confines of the heritage church, surrounded by its stained glass windows. What a treat!

Photographer Ginny Fobert had an array of her photographs set up on display including some time lapse photos and other ones with some special effects, such as a couple where she took one photo and then turned the camera upside down to take the same picture again, creating quite a mirrored effect on the finished photo.

Ginny began taking photographs about five years ago and keeps experimenting with different ways of taking her photos.

She calls her business Mynd’s I and can be found on Facebook at facebook.com/ mynds.i.

Among the visitors at St. Mary’s Church were Angela Legary from Renfrew and her daughter Mary Graham who lives in Waterloo but was back home visiting her mother. They had travelled all the way from Renfrew to enjoy the stops on the Red Trillium Studio Tour.

Another of the tour stops was at 3269 Greenland Rd. where Lynda Northey displayed her stoneware and porcelain pottery while photographer Mario Cerroni had a display of his photography. Mario, who retired as a teacher at Holy Trinity High School in Kanata in 2007, took up photography when he retired. He had liked taking family-type pictures earlier in life, so he though he might like to do it in retirement.

He had originally not intended to show and sell his paintings but one thing led to another in his involvement with art groups and now he displays and sells his photographs.

He likes to tell a story with his photographs, such as a time exposure photo that is meant to show the vast number of tourists which visit the Ottawa area. He also likes to feature architecture in some of his photos, declaring that Ottawa has some great architectural gems. He also likes featuring old things in his photos, such as one showing a rocking chair in a doorway that he had on display for this Red Trillium Studio Tour or another one showing two old dilapidated vehicles sitting side by side, just like two old men might.

There were nine stops on this self-guided fall edition of the Red Trillium Studio Tour, located around Carp, Dunrobin, Woodlawn, Stance Bay and Kinburn in West Carleton.

Artists participating include Karl Kischel (watercolours and acrylics), Donna Cameron (Jewelry and beaded evening purses), Kirstin Davidson (pottery and clay sculptures), Ginny Fobert (photography), Lydia Pepin (oil paintings), Lynda Northey

(pottery), Mario Cerroni (photography), Maciek Peter Kozlowski (paintings), Megan Duffield (women’s clothing), Jeffrey Sugarman (paintings), Bogdan Rodziewicz (paintings), Susan Srivastava (Paintings, drawings and prints), John Walsh (acrylic and watercolour paintings), Lis Allison (pottery) and Heather Sherratt (weaving).

Photographer Ginny Fobert (right) points out a feature in one of her photographs to Rachel Morehouse (left) at her display of photographs at the Red Trillium Studio Tour stop at St. Mary’s Church on Sixth Line Road near Dunrobin on Sunday, Nov. 26.

Check out Millward’s Consignment Furnishing & Décor at 1300 Stittsville Main St. You’ll find high end items ems at consignment store savings vings.

Millward’s is the result of years of planning by owners wners Liz and Don Millward.

“After long fulfilling careers eers in the automotive and health care fields, we craved ed change and the opportunity tunity to express our more creativ eative sides in a new challenge,” explains Liz. “I have always had a passion for décor. Over the years I have delighted in creating beautiful surroundings while also studying residential décor courses.”

Liz also earned staging certification from Canadian Staging Professionals.

Originally from Deep River, Liz says her décor style is derived from her love of natural beauty, reflected in simple, timeless ways.

A native of Ottawa, Don studied at Ottawa Tech and always considered himself somewhat of a “gear head”.

Now they are combining their talents and passions to open the higher end furnishing and décor consignment shop.

“We have been collecting inventory ourselves from various sources, auctions mainly, to initiate the business and will continue to do so on an as needed basis,” says Liz and Don. “The hope is that once established, our main source of inventory will come from clients interested in consigning their treasures.”

Pieces will be accepted on individual criteria, based on condition and marketability.

“We are not constricting the business to any one particular style or era as we love anything from traditional to shabby chic.”

Quality furnishings and décor will be the cornerstone of Millward’s Consignment.

“Our shop will appeal to consignees interested in simplifying, downsizing or looking for a change who would like to pass on there once loved items and earn some cash.”

Customers will be anyone looking to for high end, high quality furnishing and décor at a fraction of its original retail price.

“Our store is a space for those who enjoy a more tactile experience, and the guarantee of quality not always found in the virtual world of shopping. It will also appeal to those in tune with today’s environmental issues who look for options to recycle, repurpose and avoid the waste and toxic effects of modern day over packaging and over consuming.”

Millward’s will be closely linked to neighborhood charitable services as unsold/ unwanted items will be donated to people in need.

“Our store is a relaxed place to come for advice whether it be related to creating the perfect colour scheme or finding the necessary focal point to tie everything together.

Shop inventory will be forever changing and we will be more than happy to help out with any particular needs of our valued clientele. Our success will flow naturally as we share our talents with the community.”

Ice biggest challenge of league Continued from page 13

In studio, on tour

West Carleton artists were showing their fall colours during the Red Trillium Studio Tour last weekend, a self-guided tour of area artists’ studios. Above, Heather Sherratt shows off her woven products, while right next door (and above right), Lis Allison poses with her pottery.

Merritt said. “They often act as mentors to the less experienced players.”

This year, due to the current uncertainty of temperatures, the league is trying to do something a bit different. As mentioned earlier, in warmer weather, sometimes the league would have to cancel the evening. This year, the league hopes to provide something different on those too-warm days.

“We hope to organize ball hockey, or maybe some dryland training,” Merritt said. “It

will be up to the coaches.”

The league is expected to start in early January. Teams play games on Saturday mornings and have one practice on another day of the week and the league usually wraps up around the March Break.

Merritt says some locations are considering shinny for 16-year-olds as so many ‘retired’ league players want to continue playing.

The league budgets for ice maintenance until the end of February and “we’ll go from there as long as it’s safe.”

Farm visitors in the winter months

I

t was a worry for me. Winter had settled in and the fields were deep with snow, and paths made only for the places we had to get to ... the barns, the ice house, the pump, and of course the outside privy.

Everywhere else was just massive drifts of white snow. The West Hill, across the creek and leading to the railroad tracks was also covered in snow, and this was what I was worried about. It was a time when tramps MARY COOK rode the rails, and before the snow came, it was unusual if we didn’t have two or three er setting an extra place right at our dinner tramps a week, coming up from the tracks table, and sending them off with a brown looking for a meal.

And they were never turned away ... Moth- paper bag of sandwiches and cookies.

YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING ONE STOP TOY SHOP! Two convenient Ottawa locations, stocked with all the toys kids are wishing for!

And now the hill was covered with snow, and I worried about the tramps ... how would they find a place to eat? Or sleep? And then one morning, just after the snow came, Father came in for his breakfast after the morning chores and said he was pretty sure a tramp had come up the hill, and went into the barn to sleep. At least he would be warm, I thought. But what about something to eat?

Father didn’t have an answer. My heart ached for the tramps. Many of them not much older than my brothers. Mother said they were orphaned children brought over from the British Isles to work on Valley farms. She said many were so mistreated they had to run away, and they became the many tramps who rode the rails. So often I cried when Mother told me about the tramps, and now they were caught in the winter snow with no place to sleep, and I could feel my stomach go into knots just thinking about them.

Father could tell I was upset, and he said he had an idea. He took me out to the barn, and I watched as he put two wood benches together, and piled hay on them, and then covered the hay with a horse blanket. He put it well away from the doors, and I knew from being in the barn at night with Father, that it would be toasty warm inside, even without benefit of a stove. Then he went to the drive shed and took an old cushion he used on the hay mower and put it at the head of the makeshift bed. To me, it looked a lot more comfortable than the old creton couch in our kitchen. But I still worried about the tramps.

We could give them a warm place to sleep,

but what if they were hungry?

Well, Mother had a solution for that too.

We had an old battered black tin lunch box, with a place for a thermos in the lid. And at night she made sandwiches, filled the thermos with hot tea, and Father took it out to the barn and left it on the makeshift bed. Some nights it wasn’t touched, but often it was.

And when the lunch box was empty, I knew that a tramp had had a good night’s sleep, and something for his stomach before heading back to the West Hill and the train tracks.

We never saw the tramps coming or going in the wintertime. In the summer, they came right to the kitchen door, and were invited in to sit at our table.

It was when the cold blasts of winter hit Renfrew County that I worried about them.

And I often wondered how they knew that up the hill there would be a bed for them and sandwiches and cookies to take out of the lunch box and take with them when they headed back to the tracks. But they knew.

And they knew not to take the battered black lunch box with them ... because there would be others, like them looking for a warm place to sleep. And there would be a lunch box with enough food to fill their stomachs before heading out again over the West Hill to the railroad tracks.

Apple cheddar bread is great for sandwiches If using frozen pizza dough, defrost overnight in the refrigerator. This loaf slices easily once cooled. It makes delicious turkey sandwiches with crisp greenhouse lettuce and cranberry sauce.

Preparation time: 15 minutes (plus 1 hour for bread to rise) Baking time: 40 minutes Serves 8 to 10 Ingredients 2 cups (500 ml) shredded aged cheddar cheese 1 cup (250 ml) finely diced peeled apple 2 tbsp (25 ml) finely chopped fresh sage leaves 1 lb (500 g) prepared white or whole wheat pizza dough Spray 9 x 5-inch (2 litre) loaf pan with cooking spray; lightly coat with flour. In medium bowl, combine cheese, apple and sage. Remove 1 cup (250 ml) of the mixture to small bowl; cover and refrigerate.

On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 9 x 5-inch (23 x 12 cm) rectangle, about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick. Sprinkle remaining apple mixture evenly over dough. Roll dough to enclose apple mixture along its longest side. Using large sharp knife, loosely chop dough into 1/2-inch (1 cm) strips, then cut crosswise again, making coarse dice. Repeat cutting again as necessary, until

cheese and apple are distributed evenly.

Form dough into loaf shape and place in prepared pan; cover with parchment paper and clean tea towel. Let rise at room temperature until the dough doubles in size and springs back when touched lightly, about 1 hour.

Sprinkle top of loaf with reserved apple mixture. Bake in 450 F (230 C) oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F (180 C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

Return of the coyotes F

ergus the Golden Retriever and I went for a walk in the back forty on a sunny autumn day. Halfway through the second field I realized I had chosen the best possible conditions for the dog to get as muddy as possible. The pasture, which appeared to be lush and green, was deceptively wet. Fergus was in his glory. I looked down and realized my own legs were splattered with mud. There was no use turning back.

More than once I have realized I am very lucky that Fergus does not have the urge to roll in foul-smelling things he finds on the ground. The carcasses of roadkill and the droppings of other beasts are irresistible to some dogs. They drop and wriggle happily in the stink like a pig in mud. The smellier the better. But Fergus is not tempted. He stops

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife

and sniffs and sometimes he marks the spot as his own by peeing on it. But that is the extent of his interaction with the offensive things. For this I am truly grateful.

On this particular walk, Fergus found something really strange. He was quite captivated by it, so I came closer to have a look. It looked like a pile of dog droppings, but it was covered in white fur. There were half a dozen similar art installations, in a semicircle at the corner of our field. This corner is slightly raised in elevation, which made it a

favourite spot in the past for our cattle, and coyotes. Clearly this pack had found a meal of wild rabbit.

In earlier years when we had sheep the coyotes used to perch on the velvety moss-covered rails of the cedar fence and watch “sheep TV.” From that elevated spot, they could see all the way up the field into the barnyard, where the fat fluffier were snacking on hay, oblivious.

From that vantage point, the wild dogs could plan their next move.

I only witnessed one attack, from two fields away, for about thirty seconds.

I saw the coyote pouncing toward the grazing flock like a pup that wanted to play. When he made his selection and moved in for the kill, I ran looking for the Farmer.

“Coyote’s got a sheep!” I screamed. I couldn’t shoot a gun, so I just ran out

of the house in my sock feet, flailing my arms and hollering. The coyote didn’t even look at me. He dragged the sheep to the edge of the field, where he left her.

He and his pack would be back later for their feast.

Usually coyotes are much more discreet about their dining habits. They take the smaller or weaker animals that stray from the group. They invite their friends to share the meal. They leave very little behind.

After that bold daylight coyote attack, we got Donkey. And that was the end of the coyote kills, to our knowledge. The Farmer and his hunting buddies left the coyotes alone, because they were staying in their own territory. They ate rodents, rabbits and groundhogs and left our sheep alone. They weren’t our favourite animals, but they were allowed to stay.

When we replaced our sheep with cattle, the coyotes appeared to leave. But now that the cattle are gone, we see more deer, and the coyotes have returned.

They can stay, as long as they leave my

dog alone. Fergus is on a wireless fencing system, and we don’t leave him outside when we aren’t home so he should be OK. The deer are on their own. Hopefully the coyotes will be satisfied with smaller animals for food.

A friend told me the local wildlife sanctuary is building a special kennel for coyote rehabilitation, to help build up their numbers. I was a bit flabbergasted.

I know coyotes must have a purpose in the larger ecosystem but I did not think they were in danger of extinction.

In the spring we will have turkeys and chickens and a few steers that we will raise for our own beef. Fergus should be big enough by then to pose a threat to any hungry coyotes.

But then the coyotes might be the least of our worries. On her way to Sunday dinner the other night, one of our guests reported seeing a "big cat.” We have confirmed cougar paw prints in the last few years, and we have seen a catlike creature at the back of our property.

I’m hoping the big cat has no interest in Golden Retrievers.

Some animals can be downright hard to see by michael runtz

With winter peering around the corner, there is now a burst of animal activity. Before their ponds completely freeze over, beavers are busily adding final touches of insulating mud to their lodges, as well as branches to the food pile in front of that structure. With the threat that snows will soon blanket the ground, red squirrels and chipmunks are still stashing away nuts and large seeds for consumption during the winter. And although the rut is over, between bouts of eating to restore body reserves lost during

their season of love, bull moose are sparring.

Recently, in only two days in Algonquin Park I encountered six beavers, four otters, three moose, and a plethora of chipmunks and red squirrels. The moose were bulls, and two were sparring. Sparring is not so much a fight as it is a ritualized display in which participants learn the relationship between antler size and body strength. Sparring bulls push against each other’s antlers, shoving back and forth with all their might. When a bull finally gets pushed backwards, it signals defeat by turning away.

During the actual rut, sparring can be serious, with punctured eyes and other injuries occurring. When two bulls meet, they lower their heads and sway their antlers back and forth. If one of the bulls sports smaller antlers (and is therefore weaker), it usually turns away and aggression ends. If neither backs off, the shoving contest begins.

But how do bull know if an opponent is more powerful or has larger antlers? I believe that knowledge is learned after the rut, during sparring contests. I’ve seen bulls spar in November and early December, then stop and amicably

browse side by side, only to spar again.

With no real prize (i.e., a cow) present, sparring after the rut may well allow bulls to learn who is who, valuable knowledge that is likely retained for the next year’s rut, with a lack of real aggression during the lesson.

Oddly, none of the moose, otters, beavers, or a Great Gray Owl were the highlight of my trip. In fact, my highlight bore neither feathers nor hair.

I was photographing lichens on a Green Ash (a non-native tree commonly planted in Algonquin) when I noticed a small insect crawl into view.

Although the lichens were a mere twocentimetres across, they dwarfed their visitor. I moved my camera closer and to my surprise, discerned it to be a Snow Scorpionfly!

As the name suggests, Snow Scorpionflies are most often seen atop snow (but normally only on warm winter days). Four millimetres in length, they look like large pepper grains. But odd ones at that, especially the males with their scorpion-like appendages and saw-like wings. But to my knowledge, Snow Scorpionflies are only seen atop snow or in ground mosses, which they eat. To see one at eye-level on a tree trunk was a delightful surprise.

That is the beauty of nature: in addition to larger animals that are always exciting to see, there are myriad small ones that are so easily overlooked.

Even when they are right under your nose!

Senate 150th anniversary medal for Lowell Green Special to the Review

Ottawa area radio personality and author Lowell Green is one of the recipients of the Senate’s new 150th anniversary medals.

This is the medal which is being awarded by senators to Canadians considered “unsung heroes” whose generosity, dedication, volunteerism and hard work have made their communities a better place. The medals have been the centre of some controversy of late because some senators awarded one to themselves but many are going to ordinary Canadians who have made exceptional contributions to their communities.

Green, who lives on Spruce Ridge Road in West Carleton near Stittsville, says that he is “very pleased” to be receiving the medal, calling it “quite an honour.” He notes it caps off quite a year for him, including the publication of his book Amazing But True! 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada which received a Canada Book Award and has now been nominated for a 2018 Governor General’s Michael Runtz Award.

This book has been nominated for the so-called Pierre This young bull moose was not difficult to see or get Berton Award or, more formally, the Governor General’s near when it was eating Balsam Fir. History Award for Excellence in popular media. It is known as the Pierre Berton Award as he was its first recipient. The Governor General’s Awards will be presented this coming May. This Pierre Berton Award goes to a project that is judged to have done the most to engage people in the study of history and has broadened people’s knowledge of history.

Public Meetings Green has a connection with Pierre Berton, who was All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, one of Canada’s most prolific and popular writers of his110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. tory.

one of Green’s heroes. Green even interviewed Berton a number of times.

But the lives of the two are intertwined even more. When Green went to work at radio station CFRB in Toronto in 1993, he used the office which Berton had used during his time at that radio station.

Green feels that his most recent book Amazing But True! 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada fits right into the criteria for the Pierre Berton Award as it tells 150 stories related to Canada’s history and is popularizing this history.

The book itself, Green says, is selling well, especially in the Ottawa Valley. It is available at Chapters as well as in various outlets around the area such as the Antrim Truck Stop at Arnprior and Grahame’s Bakery in Kemptville.

The Senate’s 150th anniversary commemorative medals celebrate the first sitting of the Senate which happened on Nov. 6, 1867. The medals are being awarded to Canadians, largely unsung, whose contributions have made their communities a better place in which to live.

The front of the medal features the Senate’s badge while the reverse side

depicts the Senate Chamber with a space provided to inscribe the name of the recipient.

The medal was designed by Lt.-Col. Carl Gauthier, director of honours and recognition at the Department of National Defence. The medals were struck by the Royal Canadian Mint.

Each senator has received 12 medals to award.

The medal is meant to be presented to Canadians who give voice to people or issues that sometimes fly under the radar or which do not grab headlines, namely “unsung” Canadians.

Nominations for these medals were received by the Senate from June 30 to Aug. 31 this year.

Bearsaeinrs

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, an outburst of creativity may surprise those close to you, but this week you just may need an outlet.

Channel this energy into a project you have been hoping to complete.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Impatience will not serve you well this week, Leo. There is no room for shortcuts, so buckle down and devote yourself to the tasks at hand, even if they take a while.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, the solution to a problem you have had for awhile will come to you this week. This immediately makes you more comfy allows you to focus on recreation.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Your poker face is on this week, Taurus. Keep things close to the vest as you have a surprise to announce and don’t want to spill the beans prematurely.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 A partnership might hit a rough patch this week, Virgo. But it isn’t anything serious. Commit to working things out and you will have benefitted from this experience.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Assignments at work take precedence this week, Capricorn. Do your best to navigate your way through a lengthy to-do list. Don’t let distractions get in your way.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You can’t seem to sit still this week, Gemini. Get outdoors and take a hike or engage in another form of physical activity. Enjoy getting outside for some fun and fresh air.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, an unexpected turn of events spices things up in the coming days. Enjoy this change of pace but do your best to stay grounded throughout the tumult.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, living in your imagination helps you drum up creative ideas, but this week you have to periodically reconnect with reality. Shift the focus to work or family.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a drastic shift in direction at work can catch you off guard at first, especially since you’ve been comfortable. But this challenge can provide greater opportunities.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, controlled chaos is the source of your inspiration this week.

Ruffle a few feathers, but make sure you do so in a productive and effective way.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 The road to satisfaction can’t be found on a GPS device, Pisces. You have to do some soul-searching and figure out what you want.
