I saw a beautiful woman some years ago, carefully limping with frame support, accompanied by her two young children, angelic looks, dark Botticelli eyes, brown curly hair.

Now, as the cruel disease advances, ravaging her lovely body, she needs two helpers to prepare her for this relaxation, to transfer from chair, to sling, to pool.

of CHANGE, vaso somE i h TREES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY eif s lad TREE INVENTORY TOOL KIT ON THE VVAY! Did you know that for every lOtiees, nine are located on privateproperty? Ottawans highly value their trees, but everyday significant trees are lost due to construction projects, natural disasters and old age. To protect the remaining trees, it is key to identify where significant trees are located, what type of tree they are, and to understand their significance. To assist in this cause, the City of Ottawa is developing a tree inventory tool kit for residents to take ownership for the well-being of significant trees on their properties. The tool kit includes a tree inventory database program that will help the non-expert who cares about protecting significant trees and wants to do something about it The launch of this tree inventory tool kit is planned during Environment Week, on Thursday, June 8, from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m., at Minto Park (between Gilmour & Lewis). In case of inclement weather, the launch will be held at Jack Purcell Recreational Complex, 320 Jack Purcell Lane 2" Floor. Join in the fun and receive a free tree inventory CD ROM to assist in recording trees in your neighbourhood, and a White Spruce seedling, Canada's Millenium Tree. lnfo: Pierre Lacrabc,2444300,ext 3877; www.city.ottawa.on.ca/ottawaldtylwebig/g41g4-trees.html
