Drone engineering jobs soar into Orlans

Brier [email protected]

News - A drone company founded by an Orlans resident is flying a little higher as a federal government grant allows them to expand staff.

ING Robotic Aviation started by building drones unmanned aircraft for military purposes, but have ex-panded to manufacture drones for commercial use.

Our company began with drones for Afghanistan, said founder and CEO Ian Glenn, a former military man himself. We kept our service men and women safe as they took part in very dangerous combat. All that time we were looking for bad people doing bad things.

He said now the drones can do a wide range of things and monitor ev-erything from drug smugglers to po-lar bears.

In 2011, the company expanded

into the commercial sector, and proj-ects have ranged from surveying for oil and gas companies to monitoring the polar bears in Churchill, Man.

Staff have been in Orlans for some time, with other engineers and em-ployees working in Sherbrooke, Que. and remotely from home offices. Em-ployees will continue to be based in several locations, but the Orlans of-fice will be headquarters.

The Orlans office expanded four months ago and is now located on Youville Drive; the Nov. 17 announce-ment of a $349,000 grant from the National Research Council of Canada industrial research assistance program has allowed them to hire 15 additional employees.

Very specially, (the grant) goes against salaries for really smart engi-neers, said Glenn, an engineer him-self. This allows me to attract the best in the country.

The company develops a range of products, with the smaller Responder drone flying a kilometre radius, and the larger Serenity drone able to fly for eight hours across an 100-km range which requires airspace permission.

See ROBOTICS, page 4

From left, Ottawa-Orlans MP Royal Galipeau and National Research Councils Bogan Ciobanu listens as ING Robotic Aviation CEO Ian Glenn explains how his companys smaller drone works to collect information for commercial clients.

National Entrepreneurship Day will come to Ottawa in 2015, though officials couldnt specify an exact date for the event.

The day will be held in Novem-ber 2015, and recognize entrepre-neurs across the city.

The idea is modelled after an American day as U.S. President Barack Obama declared the third Tuesday each November to be their national entrepreneurs day. There is currently a bill before Congress to make the day a permanent Amer-ican celebration annually.

Mayor Jim Watsons office

hosted the Nov. 19 announcement, which included dozens of Ottawa entrepreneurs.

He said Ottawa has the most start-up companies of any Canadian city.

Watson said entrepreneurs are the risk-takers, the dreamers who help economic growth and create jobs in the city.

People joke Id go the open-ing of an envelope, Watson said. I take great pride in attending the opening of a small business.

Details about the actual date and event will be announced later. More information about the plans can be found online at www.entrepreneur-shipday.ca.

Ottawa to host day for entrepreneurs in 2015

BrIEr DODgE/METrOlANDMayor Jim Watson and Ottawa businesswoman Grete Hale at city hall on Nov. 19. Watsons office hosted an announcement that Ottawa will hold an entrepreneur day in 2015.

The Trim Road realignment proj-ect has been delayed until fall 2015, said senior engineer Joe Mojsej.

However, hes hopeful that weath-er pending, four paved lanes will be open to vehicle traffic from high-way 174 to Portobello Boulevard by mid-December.

Mojsej provided an update at a Cardinal Creek Community Asso-ciation public meeting on Nov. 20.

We had a bad summer; we had 20 rain dates, he said. It does hamper their production.

If the construction company misses their future deadline, there will be a monetary penalty.

But Mojsej is hopeful that open-ing the four lanes in the preliminary stage will help the commute and take a step towards removing bottle-necks.

The goal is to get people home quicker instead of just getting the work done quicker, he said.

There will still be a major proj-ect and road closure in 2015, when St. Joseph Boulevard needs to close from the highway 174 on-ramp which is east of Tenth Line Road to Taylor Creek Boulevard.

There will be detours set up for the St. Joseph Boulevard closure, which will take about 75 days.

City engineer Joe Mojsej explains work on the Trim Road realign-ment project at a Cardinal Creek Community Association public meeting on Nov. 20.

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS

By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates

Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the

plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualifi ed benefi ciary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily.

Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct benefi ciary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO

is designated as a direct benefi ciary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the benefi ciary on the plan documentation

with the fi nancial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall fi nancial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own fi nancial planner or one of CHEOs Legacy Advisory Committee members.

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

Ciobanu was accompa-nied by Industry Minister James Moore and Ot-tawa-Orlans MP Royal Galipeau for the Nov. 17 announcement, held at the companys Orlans head-quarters.

Moore said it was im-portant to create good

quality jobs, and ING Ro-botic Aviations expansion will help a Canadian com-pany produce cutting-edge technology, as well as ben-efit a community.

This is a tremendous opportunity for Orlans, Moore said.

Glenn said the com-pany has been successful because of the early ex-perience he and his staff gained working with the military.

Our competitive ad-vantage is we have the op-erational experience, and weve designed our tech-nology based on that expe-rience, he said. Theres not a company like us.

Ottawa-Orlans Liberal nominee David Bertschi was removed from the race to run as the Liberal party representative for the riding, but hes challenging the decision.

In 2013, Bertschi ran for leader-ship of the federal party. He eventu-ally dropped out, but amassed about $150,000 of debt in the process.

He was earlier given approval to seek the Liberal nomination in Ot-tawa-Orlans.

The other candidate is retired lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie, who serves as an adviser to federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and co-chair of the Liberal International Affairs Council of Advisors.

REMOVED

Liberal party offi cials sent Berts-chi a letter on Nov. 7 removing him from candidacy, due to concerns about his debt.

In a written statement provided by Liberal party spokesperson Oliv-ier Duchesneau, the co-chairs of the national election readiness commit-tee informed Bertschi on Nov. 7 that he was no longer eligible to run.

New information regarding a number of areas of concern was brought to light in recent weeks, the statement said, adding one par-ticular area of concern surrounds Bertschis debt from his leadership run.

The party says leadership contes-tants are required to submit unpaid

claim information to Elections Can-ada, but says Bertschi didnt.

Bertschi disagrees, and said hes within regulations, and the decision to block him from running is pure-ly political.

Bertschi believes his progress to repay the debt and what he says are proper information fi lings with Elections Canada, should leave him clear to run for the Ottawa-Orlans seat.

I know for a fact were fully compliant with Elections Canada rules and requirements and the writ-ten letter of the law according to the Liberal Party of Canada, Bertschi said. We provided a detailed debt reduction plan that was accepted by the green light committee of the Liberal Party of Canada.

So far this year weve raised well over $100,000 and have six months left until May 2015 to get rid of the remaining debt.

Bertschi said when he ran for the party leadership, rules stated debt had no bearing at all on being a nominated candidate. However after the leadership election, new party leader Justin Trudeau created a rule that candidates who had more than $100,000 in debt from a leadership run may not be approved to run for a riding nomination.

You have to realize the rule when I ran for leadership had no bearing at all on being a nominated candidate, Bertschi said. It was a retroactive rule.

Bertschi sent an open letter to supporters that said attempts to meet with the party to clarify the is-sue have been ignored.

On Nov. 20, he said things were looking hopeful there would be dis-cussions the week of Nov. 24. To Bertschis knowledge, no date has been set for the nomination meet-ing, so he may be able to speak with party offi cials prior to the formal nomination meeting.

It looks like there may be some discussions, as I was told today (Nov. 20), he said. There are no promises, there never is. Well see what happens.

Bertschi provided his comments following the Cardinal Creek Com-munity Association meeting on Nov. 20, which he regularly at-tends. He has launched a petition and has asked supporters to sign it. It calls on Trudeau to reinstate an open nomination in the riding. As of press time, more than 570 people had signed the petition.

Duchesneau said the Liberal party has no comment on Bertschis petition.

FILEDavid Bertschi at a campaign announcement for his federal Liberal leadership run in 2013. He eventually dropped out of the race, leav-ing him with debt that the party says makes him ineligible to be the Ottawa-Orlans Liberal candidate in the next federal election.

Programs and services continue to be offered as usual at the RA Centre despite employees walking off the job and forming picket lines at the facility on Riverside Drive and other tness centre locations in Ottawa, last week.

Twenty-seven unionized full-time employees from two Unifor bargain-ing units, including property and facility services staff, walked off the job at midnight on Nov. 20.

Picket lines were in place the next morning, as workers held signs and ags at facility entrances.

The unionized members, who also include restaurant, maintenance workers and ice-cleaning machine operators, represent 10 per cent of the centres total workforce, accord-ing to the RA Centre.

Were adapting to the situation, said Bryan Merrett, director of mar-keting and member services with the Recreation Association of the Public Service of Canada, also known as

the RA Centre.All RA locations are operating as

scheduled, including the main site on Riverside Drive and several Life-FIT centres, which the recreation as-sociation co-manages within several government departments in Ottawa.

It really is business as usual, Merrett said.

Remaining centre employees are working to ensure programs and ser-vices are unaffected.

Its all hands on deck, he said on the rst day of the strike. Were working together as a team to ensure that the building, the operation, con-tinues.

The striking workers have been without a contract since May, and have rejected two offers from their employer.

They are asking for changes to contract language around modi ed work and return-to-work provisions, layoff protection, working hours and job security. The union also wants to negotiate wages and retirement al-lowances, among other demands.

Six part-time maintenance and facility services employees with a third bargaining unit, including property maintenance, arena and curling staff, will be in a legal strike

position on Dec. 6.All have voted in support of a

strike mandate, said Mike Arm-strong, Unifor national representa-tive.

Theyre just as disgruntled as ev-eryone else.

The rst day of the strike coincid-ed with an annual general meeting that was to take place at the centre on Thursday night (Nov. 20).

Thats why we walked out last night and today, to impress upon the board of directors and the member-ship that these employees are not happy, said Armstrong.

Morale theyve never seen it this low.

I guess when you dont get any respect at work and nobody listens to you Im standing here with people with 30 years seniority, 27 (to) 28 (years) and theyre just disgusted.

The unionized employees are un-happy that centre management are not taking the collective bargaining process seriously.

Weve only had four days of bar-gaining, Armstrong said. And the employer gave us two nal offers in four days. I mean, thats not a very good track record.

The employers rst offer came

after one hour of bargaining around the time the three-year contract ex-pired, according to the union.

That offer, like the second one that came on Nov. 16 after 30 hours of negotiations, was rejected by em-ployees.

They say its a fair and compre-hensive offer, Armstrong said of the employer. Apparently, the employ-ees dont think so.

The workers only made the deci-sion to strike when it became clear RA Centre management does not want to bargain fairly and construc-

tively and listen to the requests of workers, he said.

This is the only option.While both sides recently ex-

pressed a desire to return to the bar-gaining table, RA Centre manage-ment have said after six months of collectively bargaining with Unifor they are still unable to understand, let alone address, the unions true concerns and demands.

Management has said it is waiting for the union to make the next move in the stalemate.

We are waiting and willing to go back to the bargaining table and dis-cuss next steps, said Merrett.

Management is recommending members and visitors to RA Centre locations give themselves extra time going to programs and services be-cause of possible delays in crossing picket lines.

They are encouraged to remain patient and respectful, Merrett said in a statement.

The RA Centre bills itself as the largest private not-for-pro t recre-ation and leisure association in Can-ada with more than 22,000 members, who rely on the centre for tness programs, sports leagues, summer camps and clubs for all ages.

Business as usual for RA Centre as employees form picket linesUnion blasts employer for not bargaining in good faith

Thats why we walked out last night and today, to impress upon the board of directors and the membership that these employees are not happy. Morale theyve never seen it this low.MIKE ARMSTRONG, UNIFOR NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE

With less than a month until Christmas, Im freaking out a bit. Ive written before about my allergy to malls. Theres also something deep inside me that rejects the commer-cialization of Christmas.

Ive become pretty good at managing my childrens expectations. They all believe in Santa Claus, but they know Santa only brings gifts that fi t into a stocking. They also know Santa has to give toys to all the kids in the world, and that some kids have greater needs than their Nintendo 3DS request. We also encourage the children to make gifts for us, their teachers and for each other to encourage them to put some thought into their presents and also to avert their desire to buy cheap, plastic junk with their pocket money.

Still, theres something about Christmas. The kids all of a sudden think they need all kinds of things that Ive never heard them speak of before things like gloves with fi nger holes and a punching bag. We try very hard to get them at least one small thing on their ever-lon-ger wish lists, but above that, weve tried to create a new Christmas tradition charity.

For our kids, charity doesnt have to be about spending money. Last year, a group of us got together

with some neighbours to sing Christmas Carols on Dec. 23. I hinted to the kids perhaps we could take up a collection for an organization in need. They decided on the Ottawa Food Bank. They printed out labels, made up the box and

off we went. An hour and twenty houses later, we had raised $150 for the organiza-tion, despite our sketchy voices. .

On Christmas Day, we did something really different. My eldest son and I volun-

teered with St. Peter and St. Pauls Anglican Churchs Feeding of 300-plus, held at Knox Presbyterian Church on the corner of Elgin and Lisgar streets on Christmas Day.

We passed several hours on the afternoon of Dec. 25, fi rst clearing plates and serv-ing juice, and then singing Christmas carols. This was a fi rst for me.

It changed my perspec-tive, but my son was most profoundly infl uenced. Mom, he said on our way home from the church, I feel

sad that we have a nice warm house and another turkey din-ner at home, but the people who ate supper at the church maybe dont have anywhere to go for Christmas.

It gave us a greater appre-ciation for our own blessings. Presents and material goods were the furthest things from our mind as we walked in the front door and hugged our extended family, who were our guests for dinner.

As much as those two experiences worked out well, charity can be one of those things thats hard to teach children, say communica-tions experts Jennifer L. Jacobson and Gretchen Barry

The women, who do marketing for charities and non-profi t organizations, have some ideas.

They offer tips on how to make charity a bigger part of your childrens experiences.

First, fi nd out whats important to your children. Where do they see need and how would they like to help? The authors suggest making a clear game plan for how to help can you hold a charity garage sale or bake sale? Volunteer somewhere with your children? What actions can maximize your childs participation?

Published weekly by:

Every cloud has a silver lin-ing and there can even be something said in favour of a little mould.That would be the mould in the

walls of the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Its created an opportunity to do something posi-tive with the museum.

Unfortunately it appears that the opportunity is not being taken. The museum, shut down because of air contamination caused by the mould, is in the process of being refurbished. It was announced last week by the federal government that funding has been found to renovate and modernize the museum, the work to be completed in summer or fall of 2017.

The problem is that the renovated

and modernized museum will be in the same location, in a light-indus-trial area off St. Laurent Boulevard.

Could there be a worse location? Its hard to think of one. The area is full of traffi c and pedestrian-un-friendly in the extreme. There are no other attractions around. You get in your car and drive there, then get in your car and drive back.

Meanwhile, a much better loca-tion is sitting there, more or less empty, at LeBreton Flats. While

it is encouraging to see that the National Capital Commission has recently become more engaged with creating something anything! on the Flats, the fact remains that right now it contains the Canadian War Museum, a condo or two and a lot of empty space.

Yet, as has been said so many times by so many people, the area could be great. The space is there, the river is there, the transit is there, the location is close to downtown and easily accessible from the suburbs.

Would-be city planners have been drooling for decades over the possibilities. The riverside could be opened up for restaurants and cafs. Parkland could be retained. Sports facilities could be located there.

And museums.There is no reason why Ottawa

could not attempt a modest version of what Washington does with its Mall a lengthy treed avenue right downtown that contains more than a dozen museums, including the Smithsonian, as well as national monuments. The area buzzes with tourists and residents, walking from one attraction to the next.

It should not be beyond us to create such a space in Canadas capital, a space where Canadians can become better acquainted with their country, where visitors can learn about it, where children can discover and marvel. Having several museums all in one area would also make it possible for restaurants and coffee shops to fl ourish, and the combination would create the lively LeBreton Flats for which Ottawans have been longing for half a century.

The Canadian War Museum is a

glorious start. The Science and Technology Mu-

seum would add a second, exciting dimension, bringing more people to the Flats.

And heres a crazy thought: the Portrait Gallery could even rise again.

Many people across the city might have been a bit surprised to learn that as the result of a signifi cant mould problem, the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology will receive an $80.5-million makeover.

Surprised not because the museum doesnt need the renovation, but because of the other opportunities the federal government appears to have passed on as a result. This announce-ment comes only months after the National Capital Commission called for proposals to fulfi ll its latest vision for LeBreton Flats, the much-neglect-ed brownfi eld just west of downtown. Those plans called for an anchor in-stitution or an attraction for the area, something around which the rest of LeBreton could be developed.

What better to serve as an anchor than a brand new, iconic science and tech museum? Sure the Canadian War Museum is already there, but wouldnt that serve to make LeBreton even more of an attraction?

Such an argument might be obvi-ous to those of us who live in Ottawa, but perhaps thats part of the prob-lem. Mere residents of the capital have a vested interest in this city it is our home and our community. Yet, by and large, those who hold sway over decisions affecting the capital, the members of the Conservative government, have shown little inter-est in investing signifi cant sums of money here.

The science and technology museum joins the likes of the portrait gallery in a long line of projects that have either been moved out of Ot-

tawa or given short shrift since 2006.These are things people living in

Ottawa should be concerned about. Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, who is responsible for the NCC, said he didnt want to see Band-Aid solu-tions for fi xing the museum, but also worried about taxpayers and reason-able and responsible conclusions.

Is that to say that Canadians dont deserve a capital they can be proud of? Perhaps Canadians do simply think of Ottawa as a hive of bureau-cratic drones, and nothing worth paying much mind, but that would be an insult to proud Canadians.

Ottawa, as capital of a G7 country, deserves iconic buildings. If the Con-servatives arent willing to dream that way, perhaps Ottawans need to think hard before casting their ballots in the federal election next fall.

To the editor,

Lost Canadians, a citizenship advocacy group, is challenging the governments version of the history of Canadian citizenship before 1947.

A spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada has stated that the legal concept of Canadian citizenship has existed only since January 1, 1947. History does not support that assertion.

The governments position seems to be that Canadian citizenship was created ex nihilo on Jan. 1, 1947. In fact, the term Canadian citizen has been part of the statute law since 1910, not 1947. It originally meant a British subject born, naturalized or domiciled in Canada.

Historically, the evolution of Canadian citizenship between 1910 and 1946 parallels the gradual acces-sion of Canada to full nationhood during those years. An important milestone was the Canadian Nation-

als Act 1921, which defined Cana-dian nationality for the purposes of Canadas membership in the League of Nations. It incorporated the 1910 definition of Canadian citizen and included children born abroad to Canadian fathers.

By the 1940s, with Canada at war, the term Canadian citizen had acquired something like its present meaning in both common parlance and official usage, though not yet in statute law.

Archival documents assembled by the Lost Canadians group show clearly that the term Canadian citizen was in official use by the government of Canada during those years, and not only for the purposes of the Immigration Act as the government maintains. (These documents may be viewed at www.LostCanadian.com).

For example, a booklet published in 1943 by the Department of Na-tional Defence informed Canadas

young men that they would be fight-ing as citizens of Canada.

This debate is essentially a three-way collision between history, politics and law.

The case of Jackie Scott, now be-fore the Federal Court, turns in part on this question: Was the Canadian Citizenship Act 1946 a complete break with the past, or did it build on what came before?

And if Canadian soldiers of the Second World War (including Ms. Scotts father) were told that they were fighting as Canadian citizens, why is the government now telling us they were not?

The government is effectively accusing Lost Canadians of trying to rewrite the history of Canadian citizenship. If the minister and his officials really want to know who is rewriting history, they should look in the mirror.

News - A new survey com-missioned by Metroland Me-dia suggests that a significant majority of Ontario consum-ers (97 per cent of those sur-veyed) continue to rely on flyers for making purchasing decisions.

The study, produced by BrandSpark International, also indicated that, despite many marketers feeling pres-sure to move to digital ad-vertising and online flyer op-tions, many consumers still look to print for information about shopping, even among younger demographics.

The consumers who par-ticipated in the online survey read grocery, mass merchant and drug store flyers on a reg-ular basis and said that they consider print flyers more valuable than online or email by a significant margin.

Despite the trend toward online forms of advertising and marketing to consum-ers, we heard directly from Ontario consumers that they rely on print flyers more than any other medium when looking for deals, gift ideas and making a purchase, said

Ian Oliver, president of Met-roland Media.

The value in print flyer advertising is real and the research indicates that many consumers view print flyers as indispensable.

SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS

97% read flyers (only 3% report never reading fly-ers)

94% of grocery consum-ers and 88% of mass mer-chant consumers read flyers

73% of consumers use flyers to learn about new products

Consumers spend more time reading print flyers compared to online and email flyers

MAXIMIZING VALUE

Print flyers remain strong as a source for identifying sales, maximizing value and finding new products.

For example, survey re-sults suggest that consumers look to print flyer advertising significantly more than store websites to research informa-

tion, including what deals are happening (3.3 times more), comparing price and value options (twice as much), re-searching the range of prod-ucts available (1.6 times more) and researching which stores carry a product (1.6 times more).

FLYERS DRIVE WEB TRAFFIC, STORE VISITS

Consumers surveyed told Metroland that flyers allow them to discover new prod-ucts, and 71 per cent of con-sumers surveyed say they are more likely to visit a retailer that sends them flyers.

Additionally, 72 per cent say that flyers impact their purchase decisions, and more than half say that flyers are a valuable part of their life.

More than half (51 per cent) have visited a stores website after reading a flyer.

BrandSpark surveyed 1,814 retail shoppers liv-ing in Ontario between June 17 and June 27. Calculated scores have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Ontario consumers prefer traditional print flyers: survey

Incorporating giving into regular activities can make a big difference. Cleaning closets? Have a dona-tion box ready. Show children that volunteering reaps positive rewards, even if theyre not financial.

Explain why youre doing it and what youre looking for, the au-thors suggest, as a means of helping your children develop a language and a mindset toward giving.

Christmas is a special time of year for many of us, but its also a difficult time of year for a lot of people those in need, those whove lost loved ones and those who are alone.

Maybe it seems mean of me to hide away the Christmas toy flyers and avoid the mall in December. Perhaps my children are missing out. Time will tell.

But I like our simplistic version of events going for a family hike and chopping down a Christmas tree, praying through Advent, mak-ing cookies or jam for neighbours, and, more recently, helping out where were needed.

Weve got a long way to go, but I hope, as my children grow, they will maintain their charitable ways, not only as a Christmas tradition, but throughout the year.

One cent sale helped prepare for long winter aheadMother had counted her egg money at least four times.

It sat all night in little mounds at the end of the kitchen table, just where she had left it when we had gone to bed. Beside it was a sheet of white paper, and the full-page ad out of the Renfrew Mercury. Mothers list was long, and although there wasnt a thing on it that caused me the least bit of excitement, what did get me all in a state of anticipation, was the fact that we would be going into Renfrew to Ritzas Drug Store, where I could browse the perfume counter and use the little sample dip-stick to dab on a bit of Evening in Paris, my very favourite.

It was the Rexall One Cent Sale, which happened twice

a year, and now it was late in the fall, and the Renfrew Mercury showed a full page of everything from tooth powder, to rubbing alcohol, to something called pills for pale people. These were not the same as Lydia Pinkhams Pink Pills for Pale People, according to my older sister Audrey. No, everything on the one-cent sale had to bear the label Rexall.

And it was Audrey, so

much smarter than I was, who explained how the sale worked. She told me in the simplest of terms. If you bought something that cost a dollar, you got another of the exact same thing for a cent, so you would end up with two, for a dollar and one cent. No wonder Mother was mak-ing a list as long as your arm.

Just to be sure Mother had enough money to cover all the things on her list, she
