EVENTS

WALK OR RUN IN SUPPORT OF AGH SEPT. 8 The fifth annual Mississippi Mills River Walk or Run for Almonte General Hospital on Saturday, Sept. 8 is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet with more than 140 participants already registered. Many of those participants have registered as part of a team which is a major focus this year. "We've got 19 teams already," said Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation vice chair Julie Munro, who is also chairing the event committee. "They are all fundraising their sneakers off so, we have some really fun team spirit and challenges going. It's so exciting to think of what that will mean for the financial success of this important event." Thanks to corporate sponsors Shoppers Drug Mart Almonte, Orchard View by the Mississippi, Levi Home Hardware, Priority Patient Transfer, Almonte Chiropractic Centre, Bean Chevrolet, the Almonte Civ-

itan, and the Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette, all funds raised from the walk/run supports the purchase of diagnostic equipment for women's health and the hospital's ever expanding obstetrics unit. "Everyone is encouraged, but families in particular that have had their children at the hospital, are asked to come out to walk or run with us to celebrate this great facility and quality health care close to home," said Munro. "Another way to participate is to shop the online auction taking place on our home page between now and Sept. 6." The Mississippi Mills River Walk or Run (MMRWR) features three different distances: a three kilometre timed, three kilometre recreational, five kilometre timed and ten kilometre timed. Pre and post walk or run events include Zumba warm-up, musical entertainment, breakfast served by the Almonte Civitan, massages, recovery

food and children's activities like face painting, a bouncy castle and more. As well as registration, which only costs $30 in advance, individuals and teams are encouraged to collect donations to support their event participation. Pledge incentives such as gift certificates for Lee Valley Tools, Patrice's Independent Grocer and Shoppers Drug Mart are awarded depending on the amount of pledges collected. The highest individual fundraisers and fundraising teams win prizes, including tickets to see the Ottawa Senators. Last year more than 240 walkers and runners took to the streets in support of the event, which begins and ends behind the hospital and Fairview Manor at 95 Spring St. The first group leaves at 8:45 a.m. and it all wraps up by noon. Some road closures in and around the hospital will be necessary but residents will be advised in advance. For more information

COMMUNITY

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com There are six nominees in the running for Carleton Place's 2018 Senior of the Year. Nominees were announced during a special breakfast at Waterside Retirement Community on Aug. 21. They vary from those working with their churches, to non-profits, to leadership and committee work. Joan Bray, Dianne Nel, Garry Postma, Marion Reilly, Paula Sanderson or Gary Strike will be revealed as the town's top senior on Sept. 27, during a banquet at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. Waterside Retirement Community established the senior of the year honour in 2011, in partnership with the municipality. It recognizes the varied and valuable contributions of seniors to the community. Mayor Louis Antonakos

brought greetings from the town to each of the nominees on Monday. Coun. Doug Black joined him. "It is truly an honour to be here," Antonakos said. "Each and every one of you has contributed in immeasurable ways." "We hear the stories how Carleton Place was built on the backs of our volunteers," he added. The mayor thanked the Waterside Retirement Community team and community relations manager, Patty Guimond, "for all the work you do to co-ordinate this event." On top of naming the senior of the year for 2018, festivities on Sept. 27 also include a multi-course dinner, musical entertainment, cash bar, silent auction, keynote speaker, photos and awards for distinction and outstanding service. In 2017, the night's keynote speaker was the town's 2016 top senior - Yvonne Kilpatrick. This year's special guest is Carleton Place's 2017

Senior of the Year, Jan Hopkins. At the Aug. 21 breakfast, Hopkins said: "As I was walking over here this morning I was thinking about the dinner coming up. I was thinking about Yvonne's speech last year, which is an incredibly difficult act to follow ... thinking about what I was going to say, working it out in my mind." "It is about the joys and pleasures of volunteering," she continued. "It is lovely to be recognized, but the pleasure coming from doing the job is a special kind of recognition in itself." The senior of the year decision-making committee consists of past winners Carol Dryburgh (2013), Hilda Docker (2014), Ronette Vines (2015), Kilpatrick and Hopkins. Other members include Guimond, Carleton Place community planner Jessica Hansen and Waterside Retirement Community's lifestyles manager Alison Lunn.

The corn was boiling and there was a steady stream of singers as the Carleton Place Royal Canadian Legion held its annual corn roast complete with karaoke entertainment Aug. 26. Legion Branch 192 president Peter Schaffer gave a big shoutout to Needham's Farm for giving the legion such a "great deal" on the corn. Legion volunteers boiled up pots of corn that was doled out free to the crowd that attended to enjoy the event among the trees in the legion's backyard. The legion sold hamburgers and hotdogs as a fundraiser to go with the corn, but mostly it is was a "fun afternoon out," said Schaffer.

Barry Martin provided the karaoke, which drew a steady stream of enthusiastic singers to the stage.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING ALMONTE WARD Tuesday, September 4th, 2018 to Friday, October 19th, 2018 During the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends) This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. • Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometres away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. • Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. • We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water. We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed. For more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.

Caribou General Store is a place where people can gather, socialize and shop locally ... a forum for community involvement and an outlet for local artists to display their wares. "There is a table for people to sit, drink and talk," Salama said. Ihab Salama Since opening his doors, Salama has recognized a few faces. "I am getting the convenience traffic," he said. "Many of my customers live in the area."

LIMITED TIME

Too, when school was in session, he got a lot of traffic from kids. Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn called Caribou General Store "a welcome addition to the downtown." Why the name Caribou? Salama enjoys the great outdoors. He also feels there are a number of hunters living in and around town. Salama has one thing to say to the residents of Carleton Place: "Come in and save!"

June 7 brought the official opening of Caribou General Store in downtown Carleton Place. The business is located at 13 Moore St., next to Domino's Pizza. Previously, the site housed Mac's Convenience Store, which closed its doors in 2016. "We are thrilled to welcome Caribou General Store," Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association co-ordinator Kate Murray told the Canadian Gazette. She called the intersection of Lake Avenue and Bridge Street the gateway to the municipality's downtown. "We are very happy to see the location occupied," Murray continued. "The store is such a super addition for residents in the area, students venturing out for lunch or a snack, Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail users, town visitors and our other local businesses." Store owner Ihab Salama, a resident of Almonte, is no stranger to the retail sector. He has worked at gas stations/convenience stores for 12 years, including the last three at MacEwen in town. Salama rented the store space in March this year, signing a two-year lease. "If this works, I am here for five years," he told his landlord. "If not, I am done." Caribou General Store is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. It offers Van Houtte coffee, has an ATM and carries a range of products normally found in convenience stores, including dairy, baked goods, beverages, snacks, newspapers and those last-minute grocery and sundry items. "I have Nevada, energy drinks, phone and gift cards, lottery, ice, worms ... I cover everything," Salama said. "I even exchange propane tanks." People looking to beat the warm weather can stop by for an original Slush Puppie. Anyone who spends $25 at Caribou General Store gets a free water, pop or coffee. Regular customer Art Gesner told this newspaper, "Caribou has all the ingredients for a successful store," and this is an ideal location." He added: "The store has the best hotdogs in Carleton Place." Salama gets his hotdogs at Costco. Caribou General Store customers pay $2.50 for a hotdog and $5 for a hotdog, bag of chips and drink. Local resident Florence Pye, a regular visitor with her guide dog, CC, is a fan. Salama takes pride in his business, providing customers with a well-kept store, which is something customers have certainly noticed. "It is so clean," Gesner said. Salama is operating his business his way, which means customers are keeping a lot more money in their pockets. When someone runs a franchise, "big companies come and deliver products at a very high price," he said. "However, these

are the same products you can find at Wholesale Club." Besides Salama, there are two other staff members at Caribou General Store. The owner highlighted the businesses' customer service element. "Come inside and see a welcoming and excited staff," he said. "I give better customer service than anyone in this town because most of the convenience stores have gas stations." "They do not have time for you because there is another person waiting in line to be served," Salama continued. "Plus, they need to watch the pumps."

WEST NILE VIRUS CAN BE PREVENTED One of the biggest annoyances of getting outside in the summer is the pesky mosquito. The incessant buzzing followed by the sting and itchy, red welt. They are a seasonal hazard. But with the news that mosquitoes in Perth tested positive for the West Nile Virus, it's important to protect yourself and family against mosquito bites. According to a press release issued by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit on Aug. 22, they regularly monitor mosquitoes for West Nile Virus, which is spread to people through a bite from the infected insect. As part of annual maintenance, the Town of Perth had vacuumed out its catch basins in June and continue to work with the health unit on further actions. The good thing is, the chance of getting seriously ill from an infected mosquito bite isn't high. The health unit says only about 20 per cent may suffer from flu-like symptoms, which include fever, headache, rash, etc. They usually appear two to 15 days after being infect. Only less than one per cent will see the illness develop into meningitis or encephalitis and it's more likely this will take place in people 50 years or older, those with medical conditions or weakened immune systems. The good news is, there are some simple ways to safeguard yourself and your family from getting bitten at home. The type of mosquitoes most common to this area lay eggs in stagnant water, which can be found in bird baths, flower pots, gutters, wading pools or old tires. Decorative ponds are also a popular spot. It's also recommended that bushes and shrubs be kept trimmed, compost piles turned often and ditches remain free of debris or obstructions. Inside the home, make sure there are no holes in screens of windows, doors or vents, so mosquitoes can't easily gain entry. When enjoying the great outdoors, be sure to wear light coloured clothing to protect yourself. Donning long pants, shirts with long sleeves, shoes and socks during peak mosquito times can help. Protection through mosquito repellent should be applied sparingly. Be sure to use sprays that contain DEET or Icaridin. They should not be used on children under two years of age. Instead, they should be protected through netting, which should also be used when individuals sleep outdoors or in an unscreened space. "Mosquitoes do not travel very far, so those biting you around your property are likely finding suitable conditions in your yard," notes the health unit's website. If you suspect that you might have West Nile Virus, it's important to consult with your doctor. Those who have any questions can also call the health unit's action line toll-free at 1-800-660-5853.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY STINKBUGS UNWELCOME NEW VISITORS DEAR EDITOR: I noticed more butterflies, more squirrels and less bees around the vegetable garden this summer, and a new, alarming visitor, one I have never seen before around here but was introduced to them in central B.C. last year are brown marmorated, or marbled stinkbugs. These are native to South East Asia, mainly China. They were first officially reported in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1998. Since then, they have overrun continental U.S. except for perhaps five states. These are resourceful hitchhikers, stowaways crossing borders inside and outside automobiles, tractor-trailers, freight containers and everything else that moves. In the past decades these little tanks have migrated to Canada, Chile, Bulgaria, Abkhazia, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Greece, Switzerland among other unprepared defenseless countries. Big deal. What's another bug and why is this mention-

able? These little prehistoric looking walking amour shields are a real challenge not just as outdoor agricultural pests, they also doubleup as house invaders that are virtually impossible to get rid of once inside a structure, unlike bedbugs and flees. If thirty thousand fit and enjoy living in a shed, imagine how much they would enjoy a large home with all the hiding spots, crevasses and warmth during the winter. There is a bit of good news here; they prefer upper floors and do not like basements. Most herbivorous pests are specialists; they develop tools and methods to survive off a few foods. The ash borer survives off ash trees, the Douglas-fir beetle chooses Douglas firs. But not our stinkbug. These guys are polyphagous gourmands that run the full gamut, from grapes, all trees, peaches, tulips, tomatoes, (this is where I found one), eggplants, okra, pecans, horseradish, cayenne pepper and jalapenos. Name it, they eat it, up to 250 recorded plants and counting. Stinkbugs define insidiousness and toughness. The

damage they inflict on fruits and vegetables is not readily evident on the surface, but kills from the inside through invisible punctures. They invade grapes from the center and are caught-up in bunches that end up in wine and juices. The wine fermentation kills most of the taste of crushed bugs, however, juices can only handle so many per litre before the nasty taste is obvious. Pesticides, they bath in it with little ill-effects. As for sprayed surfaces of fruits etc. their relatively long legs keep them up off the sprayed pesticides high enough not to bother them much. And too much spray lessens the value of foods for obvious reasons. They eat from the interior of plants where pesticides do not penetrate. All in all, one has to admire these tough, destructive creatures, and wait for their biological nemesis, the imported samurai wasp to keep their numbers in check and hope that the samurai wasp, in turn, does not bring with them unintended surprises.

OPINION

FERRIES ENJOYABLE PART OF THE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE JEFF MAGUIRE WOULD RATHER TAKE A FERRY THAN A BRIDGE JEFF MAGUIRE Column

Ferries have always fascinated me! To be truthful any vessel that carries cargo across wide bodies of water is of interest to me. But ferries are different than ships or barges. Ferries specialize in moving human cargo, most often with owners' vehicles or bicycles stowed safely below. Ferries are also big commer-

cial carriers taking vans, cargo trucks, tractor trailers and buses from point A. to point B. and often trimming conventional road trips considerably in the process. Recently Kathleen and I embarked on our latest ferry trip. Well, it was very short so perhaps I should call it a "ride" rather than a trip. We were on our way to visit our good friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc at their new home in Picton. For those unfamiliar with the Lake Ontario community it is located in Prince Edward County (PEC) an area which, in recent years in particular, has become a magnet for tourists. If you look at a map you will see that PEC is, in effect, an island. A wide

swath of land connected to the rest of Ontario by bridges and yes, by the Glenora Ferry. We had a choice of routes - several in fact but we deliberately headed for tiny Glenora just so we could enjoy the experience of another run on that particular vessel. What makes the Glenora Ferry unique is that it is part of the provincial highway system. Follow Highway 33, better known in the region as the 'Loyalist Parkway', southwest from Kingston and you will pass through small centres such as Bath and Adolphustown. The highway ends at the Adolphus Reach, an inlet from Lake Ontario. That's where the ferry takes over. The free, year-

round service, operated by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), moves vehicles of all sizes and their passengers across the narrow strait to Glenora. From there it's a short nine kilometre hop into Picton. The Glenora Ferry is not unique in Ontario. There are other services operated by MTO including one from Kingston to Wolfe Island and another from either Leamington or Kingsville to Pelee Island in Lake Erie. I have travelled on both those ferries over the years. Certainly the short run to and from Glenora is picturesque. You have just enough time to get out of your vehicle and take in the spectacular views including the huge

bluff that rises to Lake on the Mountain near Picton! Three days later we made the reverse trip on the way home. I never miss the opportunity to ride on a ferry. I will go out of my way to enjoy another ferry excursion. Kathy has largely overcome a childhood fear of ferries resulting from a stormy excursion to Walpole Island in the St. Clair River. Now there is yet another good Ontario ferry trip, from Walpole to Algonac, Michigan. Kathy and I have made the crossing many times since her childhood adventure and highly recommend it. There are other ferry crossings to Michigan from Ontario along the picturesque St. Clair Riv-

er as well. Closer to home, along the Ottawa River, ferries transport vehicles between Ontario and Quebec. The locally famous Quyon Ferry is a good example which I also recommend. It runs from Fitzroy Harbour in rural west Ottawa to the Quebec village of the same name. We've taken ferry trips for decades on our travels. I can't recall one that I didn't enjoy. I'll take a ferry instead of a bridge any time! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont. He has been writing for community and daily newspapers in Ontario since 1971.

COUNCIL

COUNTY LEADING THE CHARGE WITH COMMUNITY SAFETY PLAN ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com It's been in the works since 2016 and now Lanark County and Smiths Falls have a Community Plan for Safety and Wellbeing. Stephanie Gray, member of the plan's steering committee, presented the final document to county council during its Aug. 8 community services committee meeting in Perth who supported the plan in principle. It was forwarded to the Aug. 29 county council session for final approval. Gray said a lot of work has been done to get to this point, but it was important to maintain a "regional approach." "That meant taking a look at the services that are available and the constituents we serve," she noted. Throughout 2016 and 2017, research and consultation was done to identify assets, issues and prevalent risk factors. Once they were outlined, strategies were developed to try and fix

them. The final draft, a 51page document, was approved by the steering committee, which includes representation from the justice, health care and education sectors, as well as community organizations and youth, on July 4. Gray pointed out that this community safety plan is a requirement under the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services' new Safer Ontario Act, which came into effect on March 8 of this year. She indicated Lanark County is leading the charge since regulations aren't expected to be enforced until January 2020. Local municipalities wouldn't need to adopt the plan until two years after Jan. 1, 2019, but they would each have to pass a motion at their respective councils. " ... We're in a really good position with this because even though we started before the legislation was enacted, we worked to follow guidelines that were provided by the ministry related

back to ... the Ontario Working Group and that group included chiefs of police, the ministry and a number of different sectors," she explained. Twelve priority risk areas were identified through the process: mental health, housing, substance abuse, poverty, transportation, health and well-being, domestic violence and sexual assault, youth and families, seniors, justice, Indigenous health and well-being, and culture and diversity. Under each of those issues, Gray explained, includes background surrounding the issue, existing assets and actions for each "in terms of social development, prevention, risk intervention and emergency response." "Something that is consistent throughout all of the risk factors is making more of an effort to ensure there's co-ordination and understanding of what's out there and what's available and promoting it a little bit more," she added. Gray said some of the

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Lanark County Situation Table chair and Community Plan for Safety and Well-being steering committee member, Stephanie Gray, introduced the final draft of the plan to Lanark County council during its Aug. 8 community services committee meeting in Perth. Pictured, Gray speaks at the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting last December. suggestions in the plan have already come to fruition. " ... I think it's also important to note that this is a living document that is constantly evolving and has already evolved," she said. "Two things that I could draw attention to are the fact that we now have funding for a mental health nurse through the OPP. That was something identified in the plan and the funding has come through ... another thing the plan references is the development of a child advocacy centre and Open Doors recently announced that it received funding for a child advocacy centre." She expected the plan would have a three-year cycle initially, but would eventually be tied into the four-year term of municipal council. With the new Conservative government in place, sections of the act are under review, but Gray isn't concerned about the plan being removed. "In my opinion, it almost doesn't matter because we've got a plan, we're going ahead with it," she stated. "We started without the legislation, if it's a good thing we can continue working towards it. That's kind of the angle I'm considering." With the municipal

election looming in October, Gray suggested county councillors support the plan in principle and forward it to local councils for consideration. Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) asked for an amendment that the plan be sent to member municipalities after Jan. 1, which was endorsed. " ... I'm afraid if this goes to councils at this time, it could become a political football," he said. "I agree, Jan. 1, 2019. I think that's a really good point," added community services chair, Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor). However, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) wondered if the plan should be entrenched in the county's Official Plan because there's no obligation to follow it unless it's in that plan. " ... That to me is where it belongs, in the Official Plan document, and that to me is the only way to truly test whether we're going to implement and maintain what the document says," he stated. Coun. Keith Kerr (Tay Valley reeve) suggested a better spot for it would be the county's Sustainable Communities Official Plan.

"I'm in complete support right now, but feel we're jumping ahead of this motion and thinking about how we're going to take it from just endorsement to action," added Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills Coun.). Warden John Fenik, who is also a member of the steering committee, congratulated members on being forward-thinking with the plan. "While we're in a lame duck situation, this doesn't involve any money or any hiring and firing," he said. "I wanted to say thank you to Stephanie first for the amount of work that's gone into this. This is a 51-page document and it's all geared for crafting a path and a journey to make all our communities in Lanark County healthier." " ... It means reduced calls for OPP service, less police involvement ... if the provincial government decides this is no longer mandated legislation, it doesn't make a hill of beans to me because this is about Lanark County and what we've developed here." Fenik added that he has spoken with members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus who are interested in seeing the document.

MVTM HOSTS SHADOW PUPPET WORKSHOP Ever wanted to learn how to make shadow puppets? Saturday, Sept. 1 is your chance with artist Megan Spencer at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte. This workshop is intergenerational, open to all ages, four to 100. The cost is $5 for kids and $10 for adults. Shadow puppetry has been around for thousands of years, originating in China and India. This unique form of storytelling is the oldest type of puppetry in the world! Come see some of these puppets in action in the telling of the 'Origins of Shadow Puppetry', where you'll meet several shadow puppets from different traditions. Megan will then offer a demonstration of all the materials on hand and some basic methods to make your own shadow puppet and then we'll make our own play behind the shadow screen. Megan works primarily as a community engaged artist facilitator and in her private practice as a multimedia visual arts with a passion for story telling through puppetry. Her commitment to community work began shortly after she graduated from the Fine Arts program at Fanshawe College in 1995 when she began doing front line social service work in Toronto. She quickly learned that incorporating opportunities for creative expression as part of her work resulted in a sense of peace and deeper connection with her clients, and better relationships with each other. Since that time she has perused further training in expressive arts including Wild Words with Eleanor Crowder of Bear and Co, and Puppetry workshops with the Old Trout Puppet Workshop and The Toronto School of Puppetry. Recently Megan was a supporting artist in 'The Countdown Public Art Project', a partnership with Red Dress Productions, Women's Sexual Assault Centre and OV-CAOS, where four pebble mosaics around Renfrew County were created with the community to honour victims of sexual violence.

"The Classic Theatre Festival has produced a sizzling revival of Patrick Hamilton's renowned psychological thriller." It's the annual mystery thriller produced by the festival, a fitting show for the end of summer as the nights get longer, the floorboards start to creak with the cooler temperatures, and we start planning fall reading cozying up by a fire. It's also the play that inspired the oft-used term for any acts of psychological manipulation in abusive relationships: gaslighting. In Angel Street, Bella Manningham (played by Jessica Sherman) is driven to a point where she begins to question her sanity by a possessive and controlling husband (Jeffrey Aarles), who has isolated her and threatened her with the dreaded madhouse if she does not comply with his increasingly brutal demands. Whether she will survive her ordeal is up to an unlikely ally who suddenly appears: is he part of a dream cooked up by a mentally unstable Bella, or does he exist for real? Mixed in with the play is an unsolved murder, intrigue among the servants and the bleak days and nights of Victorian-era London, when pollution choked the air and muddied the waters, and social inequality produced by the Industrial Revolution heightened pre-existing class tensions. When the show opened on Broadway, it starred a then-unknown Vincent Price and ran for over three years. The current production features a finelytuned cast that also stars veteran Canadian performers Sheldon Davis, Darla Biccum and Lauren Horejda, all of whom have been seen frequently both on stage and in TV and film. Tickets to this year's final show are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. Once the show closes, the festival begins working on next year's 10th anniversary season.

That led to a wider level of community involvement as well as inspired more young people to join and hone their piping

Dedicated volunteers, a realistic vision and community support has enabled the North Lanark Highland Games to continue to thrive in Almonte for 35 years. So says the guest of honour at this year's celebration Aug. 25 of Scottish culture and heritage. At the opening ceremonies, Reg Gamble, longtime MC of the games, was showered with praise and was complimentary of his peers in return. The grandstand was again packed at the North Lanark Agricultural Society Fairgrounds for the full-day event of traditional Scottish athletic, dancing and pipe band competitions. People from all over eastern Ontario, particularly Ottawa, and western Quebec attended providing an economic boost for Almonte. As one first-time attendee said: "What a beautiful little town. So friendly. I'll be back for sure." The Royal Canadian Air Force Pipes and Drums of Ottawa under the direction of Pipe Major Malcolm Odell was the duty band for this year's games. The children's minigames of hurling the haggis, throwing the wellie and tossing the caber were also a big hit. It was hard to tell who was having more fun, the hundred-plus youngsters taking part or Brenda Turner and her merry band of organizers. In appealing for new volunteers to help run the Games, Gamble noted that the addition of the minigames was an excellent example of the "fresh ideas" that has kept the Almonte games so successful. "We need more young volunteers with bright, new ideas," he said. "Please join us." The games committees have always encouraged ideas from the bottom up instead of dictating from the top down, he explained. Gamble said that another reason the Almonte event has survived while

in Lanark County, it is "fitting" that there is a Games in Almonte "to celebrate that heritage." Opening ceremonies MC Paul Virgin told the crowd that Gamble is a "Scotsman extraordinaire" who has been "a fixture of the Games since the beginning." He was instrumental in founding the Games, played in the event's first duty band and has MCed it since it started 35 years ago, he said. "He will provide his golden throat for a good cause at a moment's notice." Highland Games chair Don Wagorn called Gamble "a special community guy" who always helps when there is a need. On behalf of Mississippi Mills, Coun. Alex Gillis thanked Gamble and his wife Gail for all their hard work and dedication to the Games, as well as their many other contributions through his community and funeral business connections. Gamble comes by his Games involvement honestly, as his father Don Gamble was one of five founders of the Glengarry Highland Games.

JAN HOPKINS NAMED 2018 ONTARIO SENIOR OF THE YEAR TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place resident Janice (Jan) Hopkins is the recipient of the 2018 Ontario Senior of the Year award. Mayor Louis Antonakos presented Hopkins with a framed certificate on Aug. 21, during a special breakfast at Waterside Retirement Community. Too, he brought greetings from the town. Coun. Doug Black was also in attendance. The Ontario Senior of the Year award gives every municipality in the province the chance to recognize one of its residents who after the age of 65 has enriched the social, cultural or civic life of his or her community. "This award is in recognition of your dedicated service to our community," Antonakos said. For more than 25 years,

Hopkins has been actively involved with the local Mississippi Mudds theatre group. In 2007, she joined the Canadian Cancer Society, serving as president and vice president of the organization's Almonte/ Carleton Place/Pakenham chapter. Later, Hopkins served as president of the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. Locally, she managed the organization's residential campaign, served as a Relay for Life chair and participated in a number of fundraising activities. In excess of a quarter century, Hopkins has been active in Zion Memorial United Church, holding a variety of positions. She is a former Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital board member. Last September, Hopkins received Carleton Place's 2017 Senior of the Year award. Waterside Retirement Community es-

tablished the honour in 2011, in partnership with the municipality. It recognizes the varied and valuable contributions of seniors to the community. Hopkins was nominated alongside Diane Nel, Flora Neave and Paula Sanderson. The Aug. 21 breakfast introduced the nominees for Carleton Place's 2018 Senior of the Year. On Sept. 27, the town will name its top senior. The contenders this year: Joan Bray, Dianne Nel, Garry Postma, Marion Reilly, Paula Sanderson and Gary Strike. Hopkins' certificate was signed by: Minister of Seniors Affairs, The Honourable Dipika Damerla; Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Her Honour the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell; and Antonakos. Talking about the joys and pleasures of volunteering, Hopkins said: "It is lovely to be recognized, but the pleasure coming from doing the job is a special kind of recognition in itself."

Know the Signs of Overdose Iris Rawlings has been an Emergency Department Nurse at CPDMH for more than 20 years. She says the job is always changing and there’s always something new to learn. Unfortunately, one of things that is changing relates to overdoses. “We are seeing more,” says Iris. “It’s a different world and we really want to focus on prevention and ensuring people have the information they need.” August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day and provides an opportunity to do just that.

insideottawavalley.com

An overdose means having more of a drug (or combination of drugs) than your body can cope with. There are a number of signs and symptoms that show someone has overdosed, and these differ with the type of drug used. “Behind every overdose is a story. We need to listen. Only when we know their story and what has happened, can we help them,” explains Iris.

www.almontegeneral.com ●

Overdoses can happen when prescription medications are used incorrectly. Iris notes it’s important to know the right amount and the right time to take your medication and what drugs should not be mixed. Sometimes, overdoses are accidental such as when children swallow cleaning products. Overdoses can be caused by street drugs such as Fentanyl. “Often one drug is laced with something else and friends don’t know what to do. They need to seek help immediately,” stresses Iris. Overdoses can also be a cry for help. “If you are feeling overwhelmed, come to Emergency before you open that bottle of pills,” she says.

“We have great relationships with local paramedics, the OPP and Lanark County Mental Health,” sums up Iris. ““Together, we want people to know that we are here to help and keep you safe.”

www.cpdmh.ca

An overdose is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention. Always call an ambulance if you suspect someone has overdosed. If you can’t get a response from someone, do not assume they are asleep. Sometimes it can take hours for someone who has overdosed to die. Seeking emergency help isn’t just for when someone is unconscious. Seek help if someone is having a seizure; experiencing severe headaches, chest pain or breathing difficulties; or is extremely paranoid, agitated and/or confused.

Smiths Falls Police Services Board In our busy lives, seems there’s so much to do. Our minds often race, and our vehicles too. Consumed with ‘whatever’ is coming up next; the meeting, the deadline or incoming text. But sharing our roads, on their very own journeys, are students embarking on a voyage of learning. Each of them precious, with dreams yet untold. And each one deserving, of care on the road. So as we travel life’s roads, though our minds may deride us, let us be mindful of those, who journey beside us.

“Working together for a safer community.”

NEWS

MISSISSIPPI MILLS PROCLAIMS AUG. 26 GEORGE C. ECCLES DAY The following are highlights of the Aug. 14 council meeting in the Municipality of Mississippi Mills. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin offered a brief history of local hero George C. Eccles, the first radio telegrapher in the world to die at sea. On Aug. 26, 1909, while sending the SOS Morse code distress signal, Eccles went down with the SS Ohio, an iron passengercargo steamship. Ohio hit

an uncharted rock off the British Columbia Coast. There was worldwide attention at the time for Eccles' act of heroism, and he was accorded a civic funeral. He was buried in the Eccles family plot at St. Paul's Anglican Church Cemetery in Almonte. Last November, the municipality unveiled a sign at 2312 Ramsay Concession 8. Born is 1873, Eccles was raised at the site. The sign

reads: "Five lives were lost, but 208 lives were saved due to his efforts." On Tuesday night, Mississippi Mills proclaimed Aug. 26, 2018 as George C. Eccles Day, commemorating his efforts.

Policy approved Council members approved the municipality's commemorative bench, tree and bike rack policy, making it possible for people to

dedicate an item in honour of a loved one. The costs: bench, $3,000 plus HST; tree, $650 plus HST; and bike rack, $1,500 plus HST (single ring) and $2,500 plus HST (multi rings).

Members approved Former Town of Carleton Place treasurer Phil Hogan, former Mississippi Mills mayor Al Lunney and Town of Smiths Falls lawyer Paul Howard were appointed to the Joint Lanark County Compliance Audit Committee for the term Dec. 1, 2018 to Nov. 14, 2022. The committee will deal with applications from the 2018 election and any byelections during the next

council term.

Priority list identified Mississippi Mills director of planning Niki McKernan provided a detailed priority list for the Community Official Plan registry. The list highlights the key priorities to commence within the next 18 months.

Zoning amendment approved Council approved the necessary zoning amendments for the proposed Aselford Development at 36 Main St. E. in Almonte, located approximately 100 metres north of the Mississippi River and approxi-

mately 60 metres southwest of the intersection of Main Street East and Union Street. The new development will create 13 rental units. They are in keeping with the historic character of Almonte.

Upcoming meetings The next meeting of Mississippi Mills council is Aug. 28 at 6 p.m., followed by a gathering on Sept. 4 at the same time. All meetings are held in council chambers, located in the municipal office at 3131 Old Perth Rd. in Almonte. Submitted by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills.

CELTFEST ORGANIZERS CELEBRATE SUCCESSFUL EVENT, LOOK TO AGM Well, to say Almonte Celtfest 2018 was a success would definitely be an understatement, and we couldn't be more proud. The weather gods were definitely on our side this year as we welcomed more than 9,000 guests to Celtfest over the three-day weekend, proving this year to be a record year. We have a few groups to thank, and we'd like to start out by thanking our sponsors. Without our sponsors and supporters, Celtfest would not be what it is today. So thank you, sponsors - you are an incredible group of businesses and entrepreneurs who continue to have faith in Celtfest weekend and what it brings to our community. Second, we'd like to thank you, our guests. Thank you for supporting the weekend, showing the musicians your love, and continuously showing up year after year. It means so much to us, the Celtfest board, that we are able to organize this weekend for you, entertain you, and hopefully leave you on Sunday with a feeling of "Now, THAT was the best damn weekend!" Thirdly, we'd like to sincerely thank our volun-

teers. Your expertise, the generosity of your time and your overall kindness is so appreciated. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Now, I'd like to address the board of directors. This was my first year on the board, after spotting a callto-action last year on Facebook. You see, I attended Celtfest last year for only the second time, had "the best damn weekend" even in the rain, won the gift basket (which was incredible value), and while a little soggy, hit Sunday with that feeling that I spoke about above. So, I decided to attend the annual general meeting (AGM) to see if perhaps I might be able to participate and give back to our community. And the rest is history, as they say. I joined as the director of promotions. Did I know what I was doing? No. Were there times when I felt like I might be flying by the seat of my pants? Yes. And that's OK! It's actually great. Trying something new that you've never done before, or even feel like you might be underqualified, can be both scary and exciting. But, I joined an incredible group of individuals, who supported, guided,

befriended and rallied. And I thank them immensely. Board positions available Looking out to 2019, the Celtfest board of directors is recruiting. Yes, we are looking for new board members to join us in making Celtfest 2019 the next record year. Open positions include: chair/cochair, director of sponsorship, director of finance, and site manager. At 7 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the Almonte Old Town Hall, we will be holding our Celtfest 2019 AGM, and we welcome and encourage you to come out, see what we are about, talk to the board members and sign up for consideration. We would love to see you, and we would be happy to tell you what's in store for the coming year. Plans are already in the works! Check the Celtfest Facebook page in the coming days for further details on the AGM. I can tell you from personal experience, it was one of the best things I've done in a long while!

SEAMLESS AUTO CARE RE-OPENS AFTER FIRE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A Carleton Place business destroyed in a fire earlier this year held a grand re-opening celebration on Aug. 18 after being rebuilt. In March, a significant blaze at Scandia Business Park, 130 Industrial Ave., resulted in the loss of a structure housing Seamless Auto Care, which offers complete auto repairs and performance services. The local Ocean Wave Fire Company extinguished the fire, receiving assistance from departments in Beckwith, Mississippi Mills and Drummond/ North Elmsley. The cause of the blaze was undetermined; however, it was not deemed suspicious. Damage was estimated at upwards of $400,000. The owners of Seamless Auto Care, Shawn, David and Ethan Greenberg, hosted members of Carleton Place council and the local chamber, along with staff, friends and family from all over Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. On top of tours of the rebuilt shop, festivities included a barbecue, presented by Seamless Auto Care and the local NAPA Auto Parts, which raised $350 for

Carleton Place's Christmas Day committee. The group offers a free dinner every Dec. 25 to anyone in the community - the homeless, the elderly, the working poor, families with children, the list goes on. Following the grand re-opening celebration, on its Facebook page, Seamless Auto Care posted: "We would like to thank Brad Adams and NAPA for supplying the barbecue, tents and cooking skills, and Kory Earle and his volunteers from the Christmas Day committee for their helping serving up the food." Too, the Greenberg family is humbled for the support it has received in rebuilding its business. Earle thanked Seamless Auto Care for its donation. "It is people like Shawn, Ethan and David Greenberg and Brad Adams who make our corner of the world a better place," he stated. "Because of everyone so many will benefit on Christmas Day." Wally Thorbjornsson is the owner of Scandia Business Park. "I am very pleased to continue to work with the Greenberg family," Thorbjornsson told the Canadian Gazette. "They have been great tenants since the building was rebuilt."

OPINION

RIDING WITH GRAMPA WAS ALWAYS A BUMPY RIDE EARL LEARNED A RUMBLE SEAT LESSON ON NORTHCOTE ROAD, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

It wasn't the first time we lost my brother Earl out of the rumble seat of Grampa's car. The first time, it was Emerson's fault. Wrestling in the rumble seat for the best position, much bigger than Earl, Emerson gave him a mighty push, and like a loon diving into a lake, Earl went sailing into the ditch on the Northcote Side Road. But this time, it was Earl's fault, plain and simple. Every time Grampa came

from Ottawa, we five kids had to have a ride in his rumble seat car. My sister Audrey and I were content to sit in the front with Grampa, listening to his tales of Ottawa where he lawnbowled, played golf and ate at Bowles Lunch. The day that Earl took the second dive was entirely his fault. The three brothers had climbed into the back, and Earl decided he would sit on the outside of the seat, with his back against the window that separated the rumble seat from the front of the car. Audrey kept rapping on the window, making mad gestures at Earl, trying to get him to sit down in the hole, but of course, he couldn't see her with his back to the glass. The Northcote Road was full of holes and ruts, which should have slowed down Grampa, but he seemed to get special delight in hitting every one of them, as we bounced

along at a good clip. We tore past Briscoe's General Store like a bolt of lightning, my teeth chattering from the rough ride with my eyes glued to the road. It was Audrey who saw the whole performance in the rumble seat, and she almost caused Grampa to leave the road when she grabbed his arm and told him to stop the car, we had lost Earl. Grampa never eased the gas a fraction, and simply said, "We'll pick him up on the way back." I started to cry, wondering if Earl was laying dead in the ditch, or at the very least had broken his legs ... both of them. But Grampa didn't seem to be the least concerned. I turned in the seat, and there were Emerson and Everett, as calm as you please, as if we lost a sibling every day while driving in Grampa's rumble seat car. Their hair was flaying all over

their faces, and they were grinning like they had just been given a dollar. They didn't seem to have a care in the world. Just before we came to that part of the Northcote Side Road, before the last long stretch into Renfrew, where we left the gravel, and the road turned into cement, Grampa, looking neither left nor right to see if any other cars were coming, pulled a Uturn and headed back home. Halfway to Briscoe's General Store, there was Earl standing on the side of the road waving frantically with one of his running shoes in his hand. Grampa ground to a halt, Earl climbed into the back and slid right down into the very depths of the hole. It looked like he wasn't going to take any more chances of diving into the ditch. Mother didn't even ask Earl how he got a scraped knee. She was more interested in the

green grass stain on his good Sunday shirt. She did get out the iodine and dabbed the cut and ordered him to go upstairs and change his clothes. Earl limped around a bit, but didn't seem to have any injuries other than the skinned knee. He did say though, the iodine hurt a lot more than the scrape he got when he nosedived into the ditch out of Grampa's rumble seat car along the Northcote Side Road.

His smiling way and pleasant face, Are a pleasure to recall, He had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all.

TAYLOR, ADAM - In loving memory of a dear son who passed away August 31, 2008.

If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives, Meant more than we ever knew. If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You’d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would. We will always love you Adam! All our love Mom, Dad, Vernon and David ~~~~~~~~ David and Carolyn would like to invite everyone to the cabin on Buttermilk Hill Road to celebrate Adam’s 10th Anniversary by sending off some Chinese lanterns in his memory on August 31 at 7:30 p.m.

DREAM TEAM

MOVIE: The Happytime Murders STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Bill Barretta, Elizabeth Banks, Maya Rudolph, Leslie David Baker and Dorien Davies DIRECTOR: Brian Henson RATING: 14A Imagine a gritty detective story. A film like L.A. Confidential or The Usual Suspects with more than a hint of Seven. Now imagine that same film, but with puppets. Welcome to The Happytime Murders. This is a world where puppets live and work alongside people, but they're far from equal. Puppets are treated like second-class citizens, but there was one show in the 80s that brought everyone together. The Happytime Gang was beloved by both puppet and human. Which raises the question of why anyone would want to start killing the cast members? When Ex-cop turned private investigator Phil Philips (Bill Barretta) stumbles into the first crime scene he gets caught up in the case. As a puppet and ex-cop Phil has expertise that Lt. Banning (Leslie David Baker) thinks will help solve it. The only catch is he has to work with his ex-partner Detective Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy). There's a lot of bad blood between Phil and Connie, but when Phil's brother Lyle (Kevin Clash) is killed everything changes. Phil and Connie will have to wade through the dirt, the muck and the

felt to find the truth. A truth so twisted it will rock them to their core. If the Muppets were a beloved and cherished part of your childhood then The Happytime Murders may not be for you. You have to remember that once you see it you can't unsee it. Puppets get murdered in horrific ways, and perform acts no self-respecting puppet should. However, if you're of a particular frame of mind you may find yourself enjoying the dark and twisted humour of The Happytime Murders. I can tell you I loved the Muppets, but I was also laughing pretty hard. Make no mistake this is a disturbing film. If the cast were all human it would be a gruesome crime drama, and X rated. With the puppets though it creates this surreal comedy where you aren't always sure you should be laughing, but end up laughing anyway. The cast walks an interesting line between portraying serious film noir characters and making them funny. It's odd, but Maya Rudolph as the classic P.I.'s secretary makes it work. Elizabeth Banks as the ex-actress turned stripper is both sad and funny. Leslie David Baker nailes the grizzled Lieutenant, and then you have Dorien Davies who, as the voice of femme fatale Sandra, delivers both the sultry and the psycho. As the voice of Phil, Bill Barretta captures the quintessential hard-boiled detective. He is also great playing off McCarthy. McCarthy never fails to make me laugh, and I can't think of too many actors who can pull off a gritty crime comedy with puppets. Brian Henson wants to do something a little risky, a little twisted, and darkly funny. I believe he's pulled it off. I don't think The Happytime Murders is for everyone, but he has pulled it off. Mark Haskins has been reviewing movies for more than a decade. His column is a regular feature.

Saturday, Sept. 8 is the date for the second annual Parkinson SuperWalk Lanark North Leeds which again will be held at Conlon Farm, 109 Smith Drive in Perth starting at 10 a.m. The event will be held rain or shine with music, food, demos and information about Parkinson's. Patricia Boal, CTV Ottawa News anchor will MC and mayors John Fenik of Perth and Shawn Pankow of Smiths Falls will be there to lend their support. The relaxed two-kilmometre walk around the park and adjacent neighbourhood however is not the most important goal of the walk. "The day marks an opportunity for people with Parkinson's disease to come together for a common purpose; to raise funds and awareness while having fun at the same time," says co-chair of the walk, Gayle Truman. Last September, the notable success of the first local SuperWalk (over $31,000 was raised), underlined the need for increased services in Lanark North

Leeds. Since last year's walk, a support group and two new exercise programs have opened in Smiths Falls. An educational event was organized through the Ontario Telemedicine Network as part of Parkinson's Awareness Month last April bringing the expertise of a leading researcher and neurologist and neuro-physiotherapists to Lanark North Leeds and information sessions have been organized with local health care providers. Parkinson's is the second most common neurological disease with over 100,000 people living with it in Canada. It is a chronic and progressive disease, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. These range from loss of smell and muscle rigidity to tremor and depression. The obvious symptoms are usually the tip of the iceberg, with many others not apparent to most people. The average age of diagnosis is 62 with 30 per cent diagnosed before the age of 50. By 2031, it is predicted that the number will double and Lanark Leeds and Grenville, with the highest percentage of se-

niors in Ontario and already underserviced, will face a particular challenge. "While there is no cure for this chronic and progressive neurological disorder, early identification and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is important so that people can educate themselves about what they can do to help delay the disease," says Pat Evans, local advocate and a person with Parkinson's. "People seem to be diagnosed much later here than they would be in an urban area. The reasons for this are not clear but access to specialists may be one factor. There may also be increased isolation because of distance and worries about being judged or stigmatized may prevent people from talking with their doctor." Dan Linton, 48, a Smiths Falls resident, says that he had had symptoms since he was 38 and that diagnosis was only confirmed when the medication was prescribed. "It took a long time for me to be diagnosed because they weren't expecting a 38-yearold to have Parkinson's. But not everyone with Parkinson's is 60

Monthly donors ‘put themselves in the picture’ 365 days per year

“This new equipment means earlier diagnosis which leads to earlier intervention.”

For some people making a $100 donation to the Hospital or Manor would leave them very short that month, but $10 would be possible. That’s why monthly donations are so popular because it allows donors to make a larger donation but not leave them short.

“When it comes to the CT scan,” adds Paul Virgin, co-chair, along with his wife Rhonda, of the ‘Put Yourself in the Picture’ campaign, “monthly donations will help us project forward our revenues so we’ll have a better chance of knowing when we’ll have the 75 per cent or the funds needed to purchase the CT scanner. At that point, provided the Ministry of Health approves our application, it won’t be if, it will then become when.”

“Monthly giving allows me to give more by spreading it out over a year,” said Roy Beasley. “The Hospital is really important to me so I want to do the most I can.” Margaret Brunton couldn’t agree more. “During the last campaign, I was able to make a larger gift,” said Brunton. “Now, I’m not in the same position but by being a monthly donor I’m spreading out my support which makes it more manageable and convenient too.” The Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation has a major push on this year to sign up monthly donors as a way of community members ‘Putting themselves in the Picture’ to finish paying off the new digital Ultrasounds and X-ray machines that the Hospital purchased in 2017 ($1.8 million) and to fund the acquisition of a CT scanner ($2.2 million).

Just some of our current monthly donors Front Row: Bonnie Love (Community Member), Paul Virgin (Campaign Co-Chair), Margaret Brunton (Community Member), Roy Beasley (Community Member) Back Row: Richard Love (Community Member), Judith Marsh (Community Member), Jesse Lowe (Foundation Director), Maureen Frazer McLeod (Manager of Emergency, OR and OBS), Julie Munro (Foundation Vice Chair)

Imagine if every adult that lives in Mississippi Mills who doesn’t currently make a donation to the Hospital and Manor Foundation, gave $10 per month towards the campaign. That’s $120 per year X approximately 5,000 adults = $600,000 per year. That combined with the current $500-600,000 that the Foundation provides to the Hospital annually would mean the CT would be funded in just over two years.

“We are so fortunate to have this great community resource here in Almonte,” said Bonnie Love who, along with her husband Richard, committed to monthly giving in 2017 when the campaign was launched.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

SUDOKU

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 If you want to get out and see the sights, you have to plan an excursion, Aries. Start planning a vacation and don’t forget to invite a pal along for the trip.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, indecisiveness may cost you in the days ahead. Try to come to a decision on an important situation so you can begin moving forward once again.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Do not be quick to accept the word “no,” Taurus. If you are seeking a promotion, it may take another round of negotiations to sell your position to a supervisor.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes you don’t see the purpose behind certain actions, Scorpio. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to clear things up. Forge ahead and things will become clearer.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some things are at play and you may need to gather some facts. Don’t try to piece things together, but rather start at the beginning and get a comprehensive view.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sooner or later, if you try different things you are bound to stumble on the right course of action, Sagittarius. It just may take longer than you initially expected.

insideottawavalley.com

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You have to hunker down and work through tasks that hold little interest for you, Cancer. Success comes from tending to all of the details, even those that are less interesting.

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!

This Special Feature will be published in Full Colour on Thursday, September 6th, 2018

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Don’t worry if you cannot get your act together just yet, Capricorn. You will find your groove soon enough and everything will ultimately fall in place.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Plenty of opportunities to make big changes are on the horizon, Leo. You need to figure out what it is you want to do with yourself and where to make change.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Some things can’t be avoided forever, Aquarius. If you feel like you are running away from problems or things you don’t like, you may need to confront them.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sit quietly aside and let others talk while you listen. Listening can be a great way to learn about others as well as yourself. Use this time wisely.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Funny things happen when you least expect them, Pisces. Just when you may have thought a situation was dire, some fun will change your opinion. 0830
