With regret, we must announce that we will cease production and posting of our PCSO newsletter The Walnut. It has not been possible to engage a full-time volunteer editor for this key element of communicating with our membership and visitors to our website. Many thanks to our devoted Walnut readers over the years.
We also extend our sincere gratitude to PCSO Board member Chuck Graham for producing the year-end editions of The Walnut for 2022 and 2023. It’s a complex, time-consuming task which Chuck assumed on top of his own busy schedule, to produce excellent collections of articles and stories of PCSO activities.
Walnut issues typically contain.
- Recaps of PCSO meetings and events
- Announcements about upcoming meetings and events
- Health and nutrition news
- Survivor stories
- Updates on new, innovative prostate and recurrent cancer treatment
- Research and diagnostics
- Photos, funny moments…and anything else we can come up with!

The Walnut - September, 2013 
The big news, aside from it being Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, is it’s also election time.
The campaigns are done, the politicking and verbal sparring, too. Come out to the association’s elections on Sept. 19 and vote.
Even vote more than once. We won’t tell.
The Walnut - July and August, 2013
Summertime and the living is easy…
Please note that this issue is for both July and August.
The Walnut’s editorial stiffs, er, staff are bound by union rules not to do anything constructive for two months. Mind you, some would say this is a consistent theme.
Have a wonderful and restful summer. See you in September! (Wasn’t that a song, too?)
The Walnut - June, 2013
We interrupt regular programming for this special announcement.
Let’s eat! See page 3’s Next Monthly Meeting for details on the upcoming Burger BBQ.
Operators are standing by to take your order…
The Walnut - May, 2013
On May 3, Ludwick Papaurelis lost his long and brave fight with prostate cancer.
We dedicate this issue of The Walnut to a man who gave so much to the PCCN Ottawa community.
PCCN Ottawa Member and Warrior Gerald “Jake” Freill passed away on May 1. We extend our condolences to his family.
The Walnut - April, 2013
The late great Al Jolson crooned about April showers, daffodils and the hope that comes with the spring. An apropos sentiment as we dance out of winter’s darkness.
