COMMUNITY

MORE THAN $25,000 RAISED AT LITTLE BLACK DRESS EVENT TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com There is strength in numbers! Three-hundred and fifty women gathered at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton on Sept. 15 for the sixth annual Carleton Place Little Black Dress event, raising more than $25,000 in support of the Canadian Cancer Society for research. The Carleton Place Little Black Dress event is hosted by a dedicated committee of volunteers. It is chaired by Carol Dryburgh. "She believed she could, so she did" is the motto of the event. In six years, Dryburgh reached her dream of creating a successful event marked by fun, camaraderie and purpose. However, there is another dream to come - kicking the butt of cancer, the leading cause of death in Canada. Fighting the fight alongside Dryburgh are committee members Judy Brown, Lorna Drummond, Peter Hall, Dianne

McGlade, Debbie McVie, Debbie Rooney, Sarah Sanftenberg, Kate Sweeney, Roger Wills and Gay Wilson. Festivities on Saturday included a three-course dinner, Royal Canadian Mounted Police greeters, photo booth, silent auction, door prizes, games, music, dancing and a guest speaker, just to name a few. Once again, Wills was the MC, and the guest speaker was Sarah Robertson. "Over the last five years, this event has raised $100,000," Wills announced, earning a big round of applause from guests. He added: "This event never gets advertised, selling out in four hours." Sanftenberg, the committee's co-chair, noted the group is "absolutely amazed by the support we get from everybody." "We are going to have a lot of fun tonight, but we do not want to forget why we are truly here," she continued. See EVENT, page 16

Continued from front

cost-sharing agreement for the extension of Bates Avenue, requiring Thorbjornsson to break all of the rock required for the project and the town to install services and construct the road, and the finalized cost-sharing agreement be presented to council on June 26 in open session for approval. The recorded vote, which was requested by Mayor Louis Antonakos, was not unanimous. Antonakos was the sole 'nay' in the 6-1 poll.

At the time, the mayor stated the committee should not have been in closed session to discuss the matter. Too, he questioned if the town's procurement of goods and services policy was being followed by going in camera to sole source a contractor (not using a formal tendering process). "Is this person bonded to build roads?" Antonakos asked. "He is not building a road, just removing rock," special project co-ordinator Paul Knowles responded. The agreement between the town and Thorbjornsson is strict-

ly an exchange of services. No money is being given to Thorbjornsson. The extension of Bates Avenue is needed to access the new town yard. As well, it aids any future development within Dunlop Business Park. The policy review committee approved a motion on a comparable matter the same evening, just prior, which involved Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited and Roe Street. Antonakos did not request a recorded vote, nor did he question it. However, the mayor did comment there was one difference - "one is bonded and one is not." Coun. Sean Redmond stated:

"The only difference is one name is Cavanagh and the other is Wally." According to section 5.1 of the town's procurement of goods and services policy: "Exceptions to this bylaw will be permitted but must be approved by council." "This is not the first time we have done this," Knowles said. The matter was discussed again on June 26, during the regular meeting of council. Once more, Antonakos voiced his concern about awarding a "sole source contract in camera," and he stressed, "I do not believe it was right." A complaint to the province's ombudsman was brought up.

"I did not file a complaint," Antonakos exclaimed. "I think I know who did," Coun. Theresa Fritz stated. "And who would that be?" Antonakos asked. Fritz did not respond. Coun. Brian Doucett was absent from the gathering. In the end, council adopted the policy review committee's decision regarding Thorbjornsson breaking rock on Bates Avenue. The recorded vote, requested by Antonakos, was 5-1. The mayor was the lone 'nay'. At this time it is not known when the ombudsman's findings will be made public, coming before council.

OPINION EDITORIAL

TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT INSIDEOTTAWAVALLEY.COM

MAKE ALL-CANDIDATES FORUMS MEANINGFUL Too often all-candidates meetings are poorly attended with only hard-core supporters showing up to cheer on their favourites. That's unfortunate, for candidates forums can be a valuable tool in ensuring voters make informed choices. That's especially true in municipal elections when, unlike federal and provincial votes, the electorate gets to evaluate the candidates without party politics and leader popularity muddying the waters. Most voters have at least a passing knowledge of party platforms and their leaders' abilities. However, municipal hopefuls, especially newcomers, can be a mystery to many ratepayers. When there are several newcomers in the race, as is the case this year in most area municipalities, it's particularly important to give the electorate a chance to scrutinize them in action on a public stage with their peers. If voters are to choose council members who really reflect their priorities and values, they need to hear firsthand as candidates elucidate their thoughts and views. A discerning voter can learn a great deal from seeing how candidates handle themselves under pressure. That's why debates should not be dominated by speeches. While they can be enlightening, they all too often tend to be full of platitudes and self-evident truths. The audience can better evaluate the candidates through unscripted questions from the audience. Conversely, the public's questions are instructive for candidates in understanding what issues are foremost in the minds of their constituents. However, to make the question period the most important element in a candidate forum as it should be, everyone in the audience should feel comfortable in participating. For an all-candidates forum to be effective, it should be inclusive and welcoming, walking the line between orderly and passionate. It's not easy. Everyone has a role, especially the moderator and his or her support workers. Usually there are far more questions posed than there is time for them to be answered, especially if there are a large number of candidates on stage. So what questions are chosen and how long candidates are given to answer them are important. The moderator and crew need to be knowledgeable enough about the community to ensure relevant questions are asked and understood properly, and quick-witted enough to put a stop to duplications and prevent loudmouths from dominating proceedings. They should be strict enough to keep candidates on topic and time, yet flexible enough to allow them to digress if it helps the audience understand the response and to rebut their opponents if warranted. After all, voters want to know where candidates differ, not so much on what they agree. The audience members can help by asking succinct questions that draw out where the candidates stand on issues of importance to the community. Wandering diatribes, long preambles and unsubstantiated accusations have no part in questions. Time is of the essence at these sessions. In municipalities where the number of candidates reaches double figures, it makes sense to hold two forums, one for mayor and deputy mayor and another for councillors to give everyone time to speak their piece. If voters are to leave the forum armed with enough insight to make informed choices, they need to ask questions and hear answers that allow them to determine which candidates have the right stuff to guide their municipalities for the next four years.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY ENGAGE IN ELECTION PROCESS IN POSITIVE WAY, READER URGES DEAR EDITOR: This community is at a crossroads. We are desperately in need of a vision - of the future we want to have for our community. And we are in desperate need of strong leadership to re-insert a sense of connection and collaboration and a shared responsibility to make that vision a reality. We are living in a time where the need for working together and building community is stronger than at any other time in our history. The number of seniors, currently and in the future, who will be in need of support and care extends far beyond what our current healthcare system is capable of. Our youth ... our future ... will either flounder or flourish based on our ability to provide a solid and compassionate community that offers connection, meaning and support. A strong sense of community

to rally and care for all of our citizens is what is needed now and in the future. This upcoming election is about the future ... our future. But we can't see, let alone create a promising future when we are stuck in negativity and criticizing what is in the past. Let's be the change we want to see. Please, let us invest our time and energy in engaging people around a compelling vision of what can be, not what has gone wrong to date, or chastising those we hold responsible. If we want to see positive change, growth and prosperity here in our community, we must turn our attention to looking ahead and determine what change we want to see. Armed with the clarity of those desired outcomes, we then identify and elect the individuals who we believe

have the heart, intelligence, integrity and desire to work as a team to take Carleton Place forward into what promises, under the right leadership, to be a time of defining and becoming an even stronger community. Please engage in this process in a positive, productive way. Please ask the candidates about what is important to you and to our community. Please listen carefully to what they say and what they bring to the table. Please vote. Please encourage your fellow citizens to vote. Please embrace the team that ends up in town hall post-election because we will have put them there, and they will need our support and engagement to make good things happen!

"A more open and interactive website would definitely help so we can communicate what issues have to be looked after," stated Guerard, a Pakenham native and small business owner in Almonte. Kicksee, a technical writer by trade, suggested an online forum for residents may be helpful "to gather ideas and these issues." "People can post these questions and council can monitor that and get together and talk about which issues should be tackled," he said. "The solutions have to come from you (residents)."

Communication and transparency were the common themes raised at the first Mississippi Mills all-candidates meeting Sept. 12 at the Almonte Civitan hall. It was standing room only at the first of three sessions being hosted by the Pakenham, Ramsay & Almonte Taxpayers' Advocacy Coalition Inc. (PRATAC) and featured the candidates running for councillor positions in the Almonte and Ramsay wards. They include Duncan Abbott (incumbent), John Dalgity, Janet Maydan and Jill McCubbin (incumbent) for Almonte ward; and John Edwards (incumbent), Cynthia Guerard, Bev Holmes and Ken Kicksee for Ramsay ward. Edwards was unable to attend. Tony Barr is the fifth Ramsay ward councillor

candidate on the ballot, but announced he was withdrawing from the race during the meeting. "The roles and duties of the upcoming council will require a lot of time and energy to restore the trust and transparency back to the constituents of Ramsay township and the rest of Mississippi Mills," he stated. "I feel my present situation will not allow me to apply myself 100 per cent and fulfill the time required." Paul Virgin served as moderator for the evening. "An essential part of a free and open democracy is an informed electorate. The focus of this evening is on the future and moving forward in a positive way." Following opening remarks from each of the candidates, the floor was opened up for citizens to ask questions.

CARLETON PLACE PREPARES TO UPDATE FIRE SERVICES MASTER PLAN TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members during the regular and policy review meetings, which were held on Sept. 11. Coun. Brian Doucett was absent with regrets. To reflect changes and growth within Carleton Place and the local Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC), the town is updating its Fire Services Master Plan (FSMP). On Tuesday night, council approved using $10,900 plus HST from the unused transition staff funds included in the fire department's 2018 operating budget to update the FSMP. An amount of $22,432 was added to the fire department's 2018 operating budget to assist with the transition of the new director of protective services. However, these monies were not utilized. A consultant from the TDC Group will be hired to assist with updating the FSMP, which will ensure fire services in Carleton Place meet the future needs of the growing community. Areas assessed for the plan include administration, training, fire prevention and public education,

fire station, apparatus and equipment, communications, community emergency planning and fire suppression and emergency response - just to name a few. The FSMP was initially discussed on Sept. 4 during the planning and protection meeting. "Is there a way to allow members of the community and council to provide some input on our master plan?" Mayor Louis Antonakos asked. "We are involving the community," director of protective services/OWFC fire chief Pascal Meunier said. "As part of the process, we talk one-on-one with all the councillors and department managers, and we also meet with (local) firefighters one-on-one or in small groups." He added, "When I say 'we' I mean myself and the consultant." The duo will also get together with Lanark County fire chiefs, who work closely with Carleton Place's fire brigade. Meunier noted a FSMP steering committee is eventually formed, and through meetings, absorbs and reviews all the data and information gathered, developing recommendations to form the substance of the plan.

Carleton Place's last FSMP was completed in June 2014. Participants on the steering committee included then director of protective service/ OWFC fire chief Les Reynolds, local councillors Louis Antonakos and Gary Strike, OWFC firefighters Jason Jackson and Matt Anderson, Jim Gordon, Dale Moulton and Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) intern Catalina Blumenberg.

Street names selected Council has approved the following street names in the proposed NU Globe subdivision: McGregor Street (extension of McGregor Street), Christie Street, Nelson Street (extension of Nelson Street), McPhail Road, Murphy Avenue and Lewis Street. In the area of Walmart and Coleman Street, the NU Globe subdivision encompasses 280 residential units: single-family, semi-detached and townhome dwellings. The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members during the planning and protection meeting, which was held on Sept. 4. Councillors Brian

Doucett and Ross Trimble were absent with regrets. Director of protective services/fire chief Pascal Meunier submitted his July 2018 activity report for the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) to members of the planning and protection committee. Meunier assumed his new role on July 3, taking over for Les Reynolds who retired on June 30 after a 43-year career with the OWFC. "July was an average month, with a total of 16 calls for service," Meunier noted. The emergency calls were as follows: fire related (two); carbon monoxide (CO), one; false alarm, eight; motor vehicle collision (MVC), one; medical assist, one; mutual aid, one; and other, two. In other news, firefighter Matt Anderson was appointed acting captain, and the local department is seeking volunteer (paid on call) firefighters.

Developer receives extension A six-month extension has been given to the approval of phase 1a, phase b and phase c of the local development at 150 Mill St. - the old woollen mill property.

Jim Mikulasik has owned McArthur Island since 2008. The extension in no way implies approval for any future development. Too, if no agreement is signed at the end of the sixmonth extension no further extensions will be granted. Development services manager Joanna Bowes stated, "Last December we approved 58 residential units, a banquet hall and commercial space." She noted more information and discussion was required regarding a traffic circle and the hackberry trees on the property. McArthur Island is home to 430 hackberry trees - the largest stand in Ontario, north of Peelee Island. The hackberry is the official tree of Carleton Place. "This is a very complex project," Bowes said. "There are a lot of moving parts." With the implementation of the traffic circle near Gillies Bridge, a 120-year-old hackberry tree was endangered. "I do believe the traffic circle was redesigned, saving the large hackberry tree," Coun. Sean Redmond said, and "I know members of the urban forest/river corridor advisory committee met with the developer and discussed a tree preservation plan for the hackberry trees down there."

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place council has decided to implement a committee of the whole (COW) system. During the policy review meeting on Sept. 11, by a 5-1 recorded vote, council moved to provide direction to staff to prepare a revised procedural bylaw based on a COW system, which will commence with the new term of council. Mayor Louis Antonakos was the sole 'nay.' Coun. Brian Doucett was absent with regrets. "I look forward to it," Coun. Doug Black said following the vote. Black moved the motion, which was seconded by Coun. Sean Redmond. "It is a more efficient system,"

deputy clerk Stacey Blair noted. "If we are going to start a new council on a system, to me it makes sense to start with the new committee of the whole system, rather than learn the old system and then switch over," she continued. Currently, Carleton Place uses the standing committee system. The committees are as follows: physical environment, planning and protection, policy review, corporate services and community issues. The COW system is very common. Besides Carleton Place, Beckwith is the only municipality in Lanark County using the standing committee system. "I think it is fairly straightforward," Blair said. Redmond wondered how COW would be chaired. Too, he asked if subjects would be blocked togeth-

er.

Blair noted it is at the discretion of council how COW is presided over...a rotating chair every six months or more frequently, as an example. "Yes, absolutely, we would be blocking subjects together," she said. Blair has worked with the COW system before, at four different municipalities. Coun. Theresa Fritz covered Arnprior council for many years as a journalist. At first the municipality had a structure very similar to Carleton Place...a number of standing committees. However, Arnprior switched to COW, and "it really became a much more efficient process." "Items were grouped by subject matter," she indicated, and from a media perspective, it did

"Right now, our meetings start at 7 p.m.," Antonakos said. "If we go to committee of the whole, it is likely meetings will start earlier." "Meetings will also run later, he continued. "I am not sure we are being more efficient in conducting town business by having longer meetings...you get tired...you want to rush and leave a meeting sooner than later." See SYSTEM, page 17

make covering the meetings a little easier, which was good." Blair explained, "By creating an agenda every other week, you are able to spend more time on content, and on writing and preparing reports, as opposed to being in a constant agenda cycle." Presently, "you are either preparing an agenda or writing minutes," she continued. "There is not a whole lot of room in between for the clerk's department to work on policy issues...bylaws need to be updated." By switching to the COW system, instead of meeting once a week, council will meet to discuss issues every two weeks. However, if deemed necessary, a special meeting could be called during an off week. "I do not think it will come as a surprise...I am not going to support the proposed changed - for a number of reasons," Antonakos said. "I think there is consistency when we meet weekly, interacting with staff on those evenings," he continued, and "I personally think a weekly routine has worked well for both members of council and our residents." On top of a possible early start - 6 p.m. - the mayor voiced concern about the length of COW meetings.

Quality Care for Seniors Several months ago, our column featured information about the Quality Improvement Plans. The plans were developed together by the hospitals to improve experience and safety for patients, residents, staff, physicians and volunteers.

•

Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital have another quality plan that is focused on seniors. It is called the Senior Friendly Hospital Plan. Its goal is to optimize the health and well-being of frail and at-risk seniors while they are hospital patients.

• •

www.almontegeneral.com ●

•

This year, we are focusing on two key priorities: functional decline in the medical/surgical units and hospital-acquired delirium.

www.cpdmh.ca

Both of these conditions have the potential to lengthen a stay in hospital or the time to recover. Our work this year will include putting processes in place to provide information for patients and families about how to keep mind and body active, educating staff on the identification of patients at risk for developing delirium, and engaging the Patient and Family Advisory Committees for advice. All our quality plans build upon our missions as organizations to focus on quality care and lead the way in quality and safety. For more information about the Quality Improvement Plans and Senior Friendly Hospital Plans please visit our websites at www.agh-fvm.com and www.cpdmh.ca.

In 2011, the Ontario Senior Friendly Hospital Strategy was launched. It identified three priority areas for quality improvement across the province. The strategy aims to:

•

Improve the health, well-being and experience of seniors in Ontario hospitals, helping them get back home sooner and healthier Improve seniors’ ability to live independently and stay out of hospital Enhance the value of health care dollars Help reduce Alternate Level of Care through supporting people in transition to the right place of care after a hospital stay Promote quality improvement initiatives that can be included in hospital Quality Improvement Plans as part of the Excellent Care for All legislation

OPINION

JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES ABOUT ROAD HOGS JEFF MAGUIRE Column

Why don't motor vehicle drivers today share the road? OK, it's not everyone who is guilty of what I consider to be one of the cardinal sins of driving these days. But the number of motorists who clearly have no idea what their obligations are when they take to our streets and

highways is shocking. From what I am witnessing and hearing with respect to this matter the problem is growing! It is true that people deliberately break the rules of the road continually. Speeding, red light running, tail-gating, illegal lane changes, failing to signal, dangerous passing and perhaps worst of all, distracted driving, are also increasing exponentially. The dangers inherent to operating a motor vehicle today have never been higher. Other drivers hold your life and those of your loved ones in their hands and yet considering the chances they take while behind the wheel they evidently don't care. It's truly

terrifying! In terms of failing to share the road I think this is a two-edged sword. A sword that's being wielded every time we take to the road today and it could strike any of us at any time. First of all it has become clear to me that many drivers simply have no idea they are supposed to share the road with oncoming traffic. Somehow they never learned why there is a centre line (in yellow or white) on most roadways in Canada and the United States. It's pretty basic stuff. The centre line is only meant to be crossed when it's safe to do so. Otherwise you have to stay in your

own lane and adjust to the speed of the vehicles ahead, or stop completely when there is an obstacle in your lane. You aren't supposed to cross into the other lane forcing oncoming drivers, who clearly have the right of way, to take evasive action or stop completely just to let you pass. If you are driving in the opposite lane you are breaking the law in most cases. In Ontario there is a provincial offences ticket for "failing to share the road." I don't know how much it costs if you're caught by the police? But based on what is happening at present this particular fine should probably be tripled. Sadly the vast majority of of-

fenders don't even know they're breaking the law and, let's face it, the likelihood of being caught is pretty small. Obviously some offenders find out the hard way. At that point it's too late because they have already caused a collision. The other edge of this particular "sword" relates to drivers who know better, but simply don't care. Like all motorists who break the rules of the road they are willing to take a chance and hope oncoming traffic either moves over or stops to let them pass. It's a calculated risk and in most cases they get away with it. Although not before terrifying the drivers and occupants of vehicles who are in their proper lane and proceeding correctly.

I also find that most drivers are lemmings when it comes to this issue. One driver breaks the law by passing illegally and everyone (or most drivers at least) follows them. Meanwhile oncoming motorists whose lane is completely clear are the ones forced to stop or are pushed to the curb, or in some cases off the road, by oncoming vehicles who have entered their lane. It's obvious to me more enforcement is needed in this area! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

EVENT RAISES FUNDS FOR CANCER RESEARCH are magical and cherished.

Continued from page 4

"Cancer," Sanftenberg said. "Six letters and two syllables, and it just rolls off the tongue." However, "when you are sitting in a room with your doctor, waiting to hear the results of some of your tests, the word stops everything," the committee's co-chair emphasized. Cancer never cares what we want or think. It is a heartless killer. "But we care, and this is why we are here," Sanftenberg said. "The money we raise tonight will truly change the lives of Canadians." Yet again, the Memory Chair was placed at the front of the room, "in honour and in memory of the people who could not be with us in person," Sanftenberg noted. "They are, however, here in spirit." This year the committee incorporated butterflies into the Carleton Place Little Black Dress event. Butterflies are thought to be a personification of a person's soul and symbol of rebirth. They

Tree of Hope The Tree of Hope returned on Saturday. A coloured piece of paper shaped like a butterfly adorned each place setting, with guests invited to write the name of a loved one or a special message of hope. These butterflies were placed on the lighted Tree of Hope, which is meant to give strength and love to those fighting and living with cancer. "We used lavender dresses last year, which were turned into a framed commemorative collage this year," Sanftenberg explained. The committee's co-chair finished with the poem Just One by Maryam Kazmi. Dryburgh, getting emotional, thanked her committee members for their dedication and enthusiasm, and for the outstanding support and generosity of guests and sponsors, she extended her group's sincere thanks and appreciation. "I could not do it alone!" she exclaimed. On the Wings of Hope

Butterflies were included into the event to acknowledge, honour and cherish the memories of loved ones lost to cancer. "This afternoon we did a butterfly release," Dryburgh revealed. "We called it On the Wings of Hope, and when those beautiful butterflies took flight they carried wishes with them ... wishes needed to be expressed out loud." They were: we wish the caregivers strength and tranquility, thanking them for their labour of love; we wish the survivors a long and happy life, thanking them for showing us how to fight with courage and determination; we wish energy and hope for those currently fighting the battle, thanking them for showing us what true bravery is all about; and we wish the victims peace and love, thanking them for the joy and happiness they brought us. "As the ancient legend goes, if anyone desires a wish to come true, they must capture a butterfly and whisper the wish to it," Dryburgh explained. "Since butterflies make no sound, they cannot tell the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit." "So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly, it will be taken to the heavens and be granted," she added. The diamond sponsor of this year’s Carleton Place Little Black

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

Continued from page 9

the public works department was beneficial for the municipality and could see that rolling out for all areas. "I'm not sure how we deal with other programs and it's something we probably need to learn." Almonte native Dalgity said he liked the idea of project management and using a consistent approach to solve issues. He works with Acadia Sports Canada and is the son of Garry (former longtime councillor) and the late June Dalgity. "Residents need to be able to look at issues and our projects to see where we are at any given time," he commented.

Communication from the municipality to the community is a problem, said McCubbin, a marketing/website consultant and designer, is seeking her second term as Almonte ward councillor. "Council sets direction and we have professional staff that set direction but reporting back to the community, there is a gap," she remarked, adding there is a pending list area on agendas where public can look for progress on projects. Jennifer Cooney, who has been acclaimed as trustee for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, raised the traffic issue on Paterson Street in Almonte, where Holy Name of Mary Catho-

lic School and R. Tait McKenzie Public School are both located. "We don't have a traffic plan in place to protect these students besides a crosswalk that's been installed in a real unideal spot," she explained. "Would you entertain a bypass off Paterson?" Holmes, a lifelong resident and registered nurse for more than 40 years, agreed there was a traffic issue and a lot of congestion on the street, but "really and truly I think this has to be a capital budget issue," she said, noting that in the interim, a crossing guard could be a temporary solution. More traffic monitoring in the short-term needs to

be done, pointed out Maydan, a retired information technology and litigation management specialist. In her native province of Manitoba, senior students take on the crossing guard roles which works well. "I'm not sure if we can do it in Ontario," she said, stating she would consider a bypass. " ... I live on Ottawa Street and I know about traffic so I could see that as something that would be useful ... there does need to be traffic control." Abbott would be open to another look at the issue. "The crossing on Paterson Street, there's a lot of dissatisfaction with it, but yet we're told at council that everybody loved it," he said. "It does need another look."

Youth homelessness, Don Maynard Park

ment," she said. Almonte ward resident Ryan Leonard, whose late mother Gloria was part of the group that championed efforts to save Don Maynard Park, wondered if candidates would reverse the current council's decision to sell off a portion of the greenspace. "I would definitely stop the sale of the park. I believe greenspace is important ..." stressed Guerard, who didn't agree with disturbing an older neighbourhood in Almonte for the construction of a few lots. "It should never have been put on the chopping block in the first place," Dalgity said. "Parks are here for eternity," added Holmes. Maydan, the lead on the committee appealing the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, said the issue has created a lot of tension within the community. "This has hurt a lot of people and divided the town," she stated. "It's not worth it and no, I would never sell it." McCubbin and Kicksee were the only candidates who would choose to reverse it. "I've talked to people in the community, former councillors and current councillors, and the current proposal for Don Maynard Park actually retains two-thirds of the land, including the portion the school uses. It will be upgraded and will remain Don Maynard Park," Kicksee said. "For those reasons, I support that proposal." The second meeting was held last evening, Sept. 19, in Pakenham. The final session, with mayoral and deputy mayor candidates, will be Sept. 26 at Almonte Civitan Hall. Start time is 7 p.m.

Candidates were also asked for their input on the youth homelessness crisis and the rising cost of housing. "People can't afford to live in Almonte. The housing prices are so much higher than they used to be," said Almonte ward resident Cathy Blake. She wanted candidates to think about more social housing, subsidies and potentially a hostel or drop-in facility for youth. "We need to start doing something for people that don't have as much to live on," she added. McCubbin noted homelessness "is an incredibly tricky question." She said Lanark County municipalities have been putting pressure on the county, as social housing is under their umbrella. "Secondary dwellings have been encouraged in any home, but I know that doesn't help with teenage homelessness," she stated. "Planners across the county are also discussing inclusionary zoning ..." Guerard recognized the importance of the issue, but said convincing developers to build affordable homes isn't always easy. "We should discuss this as a community and decide

where we want to have something or if we want a program," she said. The municipality's use of consulting companies for studies and projects instead of in-house staff was also questioned and whether they would put stricter emphasis on using local businesses/trades for projects. "Sometimes we need wisdom that's not here," Abbott pointed out. " ... We got into this with the problem with (Don) Maynard Park. The consultant's report, that we paid for, said the park was surplus and we should just get rid of it. Once it's done, people rely on them ... we paid a lot of money for that report and got caught in our own web." Dalgity said he's a firm believer in "look local first." "Where possible, we should be providing training in-house," he continued. "In the long run, it could save a lot of money as well." Holmes also agreed with the 'think local' approach. "We should be using our local talent and our in-house talent and our community for consultation because often you guys have the answer," she stated. "Let's be a little bit more transparent ..." "We're a relatively small municipality and as such, we can only afford so many staff ... when we hire consultants we need to make sure we're hiring experts that are giving qualified opinions that will fit well with our community," added Kicksee. Maydan didn't have an issue with the use of consultants, but indicated staff's time should be prioritized. "Sometimes inhouse staff get drawn off to things that maybe weren't that important in the long run. There are things we can do for time manage-

sner. "Steam Whistle is a very crisp, refreshing beer, and the most neutral of the beer we have here," Davies noted. Course two - Oktoberfest sausage, sauerkraut and apples - was paired with Waterloo India pale ale (IPA). "A lot of hops has been added to the beer," the executive chef said. Providing a history lesson, he explained, "The reason being, when they were transporting beer from England to India it was spoiling on the ship ... by adding lots and lots of hops it was preserved longer." The night's third course was a hit with guests - particularly Ron and Barb Goebel.

"My wife and I have travelled to Germany, but this is one of the better German meals we have had," Ron stated. "The food tonight is excellent." Davies made German Beef Rouladen, which is beef pounded out and stuffed with onions, bacon and dill pickles. It is then braised. "I braised it in beef stock and Waterloo Amber," he explained. "It is served with German Spaetzle Dumplings." The meal was served with Waterloo Dark, a lager. The fourth course - dessert - was a Black Forest cake in a glass. "It has all the elements of a Black Forest cake," Davies noted. "The bottom layer is chocolate cake, which was baked with stout, a dark beer, and the

shaved chocolate, and I have paired it with Waterloo Amber." "Another class act at the Waterside," Deputy Mayor

Jerry Flynn commented. Flynn attended the Chef's Table - his second with wife Debbie McVie. WRC residents Doris Trask and Gladys Black enjoyed the Chef's Table. "Without exception, staff is wonderful," Black stated. "Very accommodating." Near the end of the evening guests sang Happy Birthday to Black who was celebrating her 90th birthday the following day. WRC community relations manager Patty Guimond thanked Davies and Whitworth "for putting on

a beautiful dinner tonight." "Jake, I know you have had some challenges in the kitchen and this is overtime for you ... it was an absolutely beautiful dinner," she continued. "Everything was delicious ... thank you very much for doing this for us." Davies has been the executive chef at WRC for about four years. There is a Chef's Table planned for Dec. 6, with another scheduled for Jan. 17. WRC is located at 105 McNeely Ave., situated on the banks of the Mississippi River.

In celebration of national Small Business Week, the Mississippi Mills community wants to recognize local small business owners who have achieved 25, 35, 50 and 65+ years in business in our municipality. Mississippi Mills is a thriving community made up of long-serving business people and familyrun businesses. These entrepreneurs are the engine of our local economy and we want to show them they're appreciated! In 2016, council, with help from the community and economic development committee launched an appreciation night to rec-

ognize those across Mississippi Mills that have reached the following milestones: 25, 35, 50 and 65+ years in business. This year marks the third occasion hosting this recognition celebration. The event begins at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Old Town Hall, on Thursday, Oct. 18. The community and economic development committee would like the community's help, make a nomination! Do you know of a local business person who meets the milestones? Please email your suggestions before Oct. 4, to Bonnie at bostrom@mississip-

pimills.ca or 613-256-1077. Please include: The name of the business, name of the owner, number of years the current has been in business (the same owner or family), the address of the business, and one or two sentences to describe the business. In order for a business to qualify they must be located within the boundary of Mississippi Mills and be currently operating. This event honours long-standing business owners or family businesses in our community, not the actual businesses establishments (which may have been owned by a succession of owners).

We are lucky in Mississippi Mills having many seasoned business owners. Event organizers realize it would be impossible to celebrate them all in one event. For this reason,

Caring for Residents with Dementia September is Alzheimer’s Month, providing a great opportunity to share more information about the many forms of dementia. We are also pleased to outline some of the specialized services provided at Fairview Manor for residents living with this disease. Dementia is a collective name for progressive brain syndromes which affect memory, thinking, behaviour and emotion. There are more than 100 forms of dementia. The most well-known form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for more than half of all cases. Approximately 80% of residents at Fairview Manor have a diagnosis of dementia, ranging from mild to severe impairment. When caring for residents with dementia, we ask many questions, including: what do they understand? what causes them to become upset? what makes life more enjoyable?

www.agh-fvm.com

As part of our Life Enrichment program, various activities are offered to residents with dementia which focus on stimulating memories, decreasing agitation, providing comfort, and providing sensory stimulation. Some of these activities include manicures and hand massage, arts and crafts, a reading circle, and listening, singing and dancing to music. The old, familiar songs and artists are always the most popular.

Finally, the Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) initiative enhances health care services for residents with complex and responsive behaviours associated with dementia. Fairview Manor has a part time Personal Support Worker who serves as our BSO Champion. She spends one-on-one time with residents, learning more details about their lives and how the disease is affecting their understanding of their care. From there, she works with our colleagues at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, to suggest non-pharmacological interventions to provide comfort and a sense of purpose to decrease agitation and anxiety. That information is then shared with the entire care team, which benefits everyone. Sometimes the simplest thing can make a big difference. Every resident of Fairview Manor is an individual with unique needs. This is their home and we want to meet and enhance their life. Understanding and finding ways to support residents with dementia is a key part of that care.

This ad is generously underwritten by the

insideottawavalley.com

There are several specialized services in place to support these residents, including Restorative Nursing, Life Enrichment and the Behavioural Support Ontario initiative.

The Restorative Nursing Program includes nursing interventions that promote the resident's ability to live as independently and safely as possible. It actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental and psychosocial function. Each resident at Fairview Manor has an individual plan of care that is updated regularly and includes input from the resident, family members, doctors and Manor staff. Everyone works together to ensure each resident develops and maintains an interesting and meaningful life at Fairview Manor.

MAPLE COOKIES WERE A TREAT FOR YOUNG MARY MARY COOK SHARES FOND MEMORIES OF ENJOYING COOKIES FROM BRISCOE'S GENERAL STORE MARY COOK Column

You could smell the maple cookies as soon as you opened the door into Briscoe's General Store. Like all the other cookies Mr. Briscoe sold, they were stored in tilted boxes in a row right down the centre of the store, but the cookies shaped like maple leafs were in the first box. Others were wafer thin, some were just

round like biscuits, and some were chocolate with white icing. But I could never smell any of the other cookies ... only the maples. I used to think it was good planning on Mr. Briscoe's part to put the maple cookies near the front door. The wonderful smell helped deaden the reeking stench of coal oil in containers at the back of the store ... right beside the little barrel of molasses. There were no covers on the cookie boxes, but when the height of the summer assured you of a good crop of houseflies, in an attempt to keep them away from the cookies, long pieces of wrapping paper were laid over the entire row of cookie boxes. But when you lifted the paper, there were always flies underneath, which didn't seem to affect the sales

one bit. I didn't have much use for the thin wafers, which, however, were Father's favourite. When a meal was over, he liked to pick up a wafer and soften it in his tea. Mother thought it was a disgusting habit, but it was just one more thing she had to get used when she moved to the farm at Northcote. Of course, the maple cookies and the wafers were luxuries we didn't often enjoy. Father often had to go to the store in the middle of the day ... he might need nails, oil, or gas, and if that happened when I wasn't at the Northcote School, I was always allowed to go with him, which was a special thrill for me. Any time I could spend alone with Father, he gave me great job. He wasn't a talker, but he had

before had come in contact with the cows, the horses, the barn equipment, and the buggy, he would reach into each tilted box of the ones we wanted, and bring out a full fist of cookies! I knew Mother would wonder, if she were there, why Mr. Briscoe would bother covering the cookies with paper in the first place, when any farmer, without the benefit of a good hand wash, would saunter over to the boxes and grab a couple of handfuls of their favourite, serving themselves. But we must have been a healthy lot, because never, all the time Father helped himself to the maple leaf and wafer cookies, did I ever hear of a soul in Northcote dying from dirty cookie disease.

plenty of facial expressions and hand motions I could read like a book. Another reason I liked to go to the store with Father was that he always bought a few cookies for me. Of course, he never had any money in his pocket, so he would just tell Mr. Briscoe to put them on our bill. Mother, at the end of the month, after selling her wares in Renfrew, would go into the store at Northcote and settle up with Mr. Briscoe. Neither Mother nor Father ever laid out cash when they bought supplies, which I used to think was just like getting something for nothing. So Father would first do his business with Mr. Briscoe. And then he would go over to the counter and take a small paper bag which was neatly piled in order of size with all the other bags. He always opened it with his thumb, and then put the bag to his lips and give it a hefty blow, and it would open up all the way immediately. He would nod in my direction, and we would head over to the row of cookie boxes. He knew without asking what kind of cookie I would like. And with his hand that

This year's event will feature fall and winter fashions, and will be held at the agricultural hall in the Almonte fairgrounds from 3 to 5 p.m. Fashion Blooms will again showcase members of the Darrell Thomas Textiles family who have had limited exposure as designers and will give them a venue to show off their works and talent, all while raising money for the operations of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. This year's show promises to be just as exciting as last year. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the museum or on the museum website (mvtm.ca) or at Baker Bob's of Almonte.

COMMUNITY

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

According to Sage Age's Bob Yaremko, the group currently performs up to 20 shows a year, visiting retirement homes, schools and service clubs. Members range in age from their fifties to nineties. "Most of the people in the area don't know we exist, even though we're going into our 26th-27th

year," the 81-year-old remarked. "We're not just for seniors, but generally speaking, what's kept us going is that main audience of seniors." Each show features 10 to 14 short skits and there are no scripts, roles, props or sets. "All you need for this group is life experience," he said, noting it's all

about delivering a positive image on aging. "There's a connection there. When we talk humorously about seniors, they can tell we're seniors and have been there, done that." The group meets Monday mornings to develop content, but See PLANS, page 30

Hundreds of seniors got a better idea of what information, services and social connections are available in their region Sept. 6 at the eighth annual North Lanark Seniors' Expo at the Almonte Community Centre. A total of 796 attendees came through the doors, visiting with 85 exhibitors offering everything from financial advice and planning, retirement residences, health care, transportation, as well as information on social clubs, services, recreational and arts opportunities. The expo, co-ordinated by multi-service organization Mills Community Support (MCS), has continued to grow year after year. The inaugural event featured 33 exhibitors. "It's our biggest year so far," confirmed MCS chief executive officer Robert Eves. "We're up to 85 exhibitors from 78 last year." Eves said there's an obvious importance to an event such as this and it fits in with exactly what MCS is about: supporting people of all abilities. "It's central to our belief, our mission, of creating age-friendly communities throughout North Lanark. The key is providing easy access to information for services and supports. It's all about keeping individuals in their communities for as long as possible ... and making sure that they can remain healthy, active, creative and connected." The added bonus of the event is it not only informs seniors, but increases exposure for those agencies and businesses. "You can have all the best services in the world, but if no one knows you're there, people can't age in place," Eves stated. Set to mark their 75th anniversary in business, Smith's Shoes of Smiths Falls displayed a variety of footwear for all needs at the expo. Owner Cy Wells noted Smith's is a "full-service shoe store." "We can measure your feet and create custom footwear. We carry products that a lot of stores don't," he noted, including large and wide sizes, as well as arch supports. They also offer a mobile fitting service within a certain radius of the store and specialize in footwear for those suffering from diabetes or arthritis. Wells said the expo creates visibility for his business. "We've been in business for so

many years, but people don't know all that we offer," he stated. Offering a different type of service to seniors at the daylong event was Sage Age Theatre. The seniors' improv outfit originally formed in 1992 and provides a unique and often humorous look at the issues involving the aging population.

nothing is ever written down. "You know who your characters are and the situation and hopefully you know how it ends," Yaremko said. "Or you get there somehow," added Sage Age member Liz Gillis. Frances Rathwell, board chair of Archives Lanark, was at the expo to inform the community on all the organization does to keep the county's history alive. She said the group continues to compile information for its rural schools book project with four more townships yet to produce. "We're in Drummond Centre (off of Highway 7 outside Perth) and we're open on Fridays and Satur-

days at the moment," she explained. "People can come in and go through land registry records and find information on their ancestry." Archives Lanark has extensive church and census records as well as a majority of historic newspapers from around the area.

Another project they've been taking on is the hunt for a new space. Talks have taken place with Lanark County about expanding their current home in the former Drummond Township municipal building (1920 Concession 7 at Drummond Centre).

"We're still talking about getting a larger space, we just want to make sure it's one that's accessible to the public," Rathwell said. Plans are already in the works for next year's ninth annual North Lanark Seniors' Expo, set for Sept. 5, 2019.

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug. Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say… Keep my memory with you, For memories never die. I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky. When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home. I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day. “In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…” Love, Erin

Ashley Kulp/Metroland Lanark County recently launched a county-wide Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) project in conjunction with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC). Pictured, Valley Heartland CFDC regional economic development officer Stacie Lloyd, left, and BR+E co-ordinator Teri Devine, during a presentation to Lanark County's economic development committee Aug. 29 in Perth.

LANARK COUNTY HITS THE GROUND RUNNING ON BR+E PROJECT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The County of Lanark is taking action to ensure its existing businesses are fully supported for the future. On July 31, the launch of a county-wide Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Project was announced. The project is a partnership between the county and Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) and comes out of the action plans from Lanark County's recently completed strategic plan. County councillors received further insight into the roll-out of the program during a presentation from Valley Heartland CFDC regional economic development officer Stacie Lloyd and BR+E co-ordinator Teri Devine, at the Aug. 29 economic development committee meeting in Perth. Lloyd said since approval of the strategic plan in December, funding was secured and Devine was hired in June to oversee the project over the next year. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge of the BR+E model as an advisor with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and as

former economic development officer with the Municipality of North Grenville. The BR+E concept, an OMAFRA model in place since 1998, is an "action-oriented, communitybased and volunteer driven project," Devine said. "They (OMAFRA) provide the tools for the project ... and have delivered over 260 projects successfully across Ontario. As Stacie mentioned, I've been involved in a couple of them over the years," she continued. Devine is passionate about BR+E. "I believe in it. I know most jobs in our communities come from the businesses that are already here so we need to work with those businesses, nurture those businesses and identify the opportunities to help them grow and continue to create jobs in our communities. This is a great way to do that." The project, which will span a year, involves the recruitment and training of volunteers to conduct confidential visits with local businesses. "It's face-to-face interviews with businesses done by volunteers," Devine explained. "We gather volunteers, they sign confidentiality agreements and go out to do the business visits for us, which is great community capacity building.

During that time as well, businesses may provide input, feedback, comments, complaints, whatever that is. We address those issues as well." The data is collected through a standardized survey of 66 questions, including a section of 15 questions specific to Lanark County's communities. "So there's a lot of data and a lot of great information that we gather to support your efforts in economic development," she stated. With all data in hand, the information will be analyzed and an action plan will be produced "for implementation with county council and the community." That conclusion of the project with that action plan is set for July 2019. Volunteers needed Right now, Devine said the project is still in phase one with the recruitment of more than 30 project team members. "These are members of our community, community leaders, service and business organizations, our partners that all work together to provide and support business." The first project team meeting was held Aug. 28 at the county's municipal office in Perth, where See SIXTY, page 40

Do you ever wish to see the positions of all of our council candidates in one place? The Mississippi Mills chapter of the Council of Canadians is here to help. The council is a national, nonpartisan, non-profit citizens' organization dedicated to advancing social justice and preserving and promoting our democratic autonomy in Canada. Our council chapter volunteered to assist citizens of Mississippi Mills make informed choices in the upcoming municipal election (Oct. 22) by conducting a brief survey of the platforms of candidates for positions on town council. Many other communities do the same. Links to some of them appear at the end of this article. The eight questions of our survey are shown below. They address the issues our chapter believes are most important to citizens of our municipality. • Question 1: Special interest groups can dominate citizen participation, use misleading information and false context to frame an issue or an individual, and influence public opinion. What, in your opinion, should be done to reduce conflict that could arise in the municipality? • Question 2: order that citizens may have a say in local government policy, there must be involvement beyond simply casting a vote. How would you propose to increase citizen input to the business of the municipality during your term as a member of council? • Question 3: Our elected council manages over $20 million of public money in the municipal treasury each year. Many citizens wish to reduce their municipal taxes, but few want their public services cut back. Which services would you reduce or eliminate if taxes were to be lowered: fire, police, garbage, library, roads, snow removal, recreation, drainage, or other? Why would you cut these? • Question 4: The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' statistics regarding Mississippi Mills' industrial base, state that the largest growth in jobs since 2011 has been in the arts, entertainment and recreation industry, an increase of 81 per cent. How would you sustain this prosperous community business

• Question 8: As a potential member of municipal council, please form a question, not a campaign statement, that you would want to ask the citizens of Mississippi Mills. To date, eight candidates have kindly responded to our questionnaire. You can read their answers visiting our Facebook page: Council of Canadians in Mississippi Mills. For information on how to vote, click here: www.mississippimills.ca/en/townhall/elections.asp or call 613-256-2064.

which sets out a vision of the community into the future. The way the Official Plan guidelines are implemented is through zoning bylaws. In your opinion, is our Community Official Plan a good thing for the municipality, or a bad thing? Please explain your choice. • Question 7: The building of new homes and commercial spaces in small towns is often accomplished using existing buildings and storefronts, rather than suburban expansion.

da's foremost military historian, examines how those who survived trench warfare on the Western Front found entertainment, solace, relief and distraction from the relentless slaughter. These tales come from the personal accounts and artifacts of more than 500 soldiers. The fighting at the front was devastating, but behind the battle

lines, another layer of life existed, which included songs, skits, art and soldier-produced newspapers. With his trademark narrative abilities and an unerring eye for the telling human detail, Cook has created another landmark history of Canadian military life as he reveals the secrets of how soldiers survived the carnage of the Western Front.

SIXTY TO 70 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR BUSINESS VISITS Continued from page 38

an overview of the project and training session was held. OMAFRA regional advisor Katie Nolan also provided guidance. However, the big push right now is retaining 60 to 70 volunteer visitors by November to conduct the approximately 95 to 110 confidential business interviews. The business selection is to be completed by December, with random business visits to run from January to March 2019. The creation of a resource network is another integral piece to the process, which is where the county's economic development committee, lower tier municipalities, partners and agencies can all be involved. "We set up the resource network to be able to respond to the issues or opportunities that come back from the feedback the businesses give us (through the visits)," Devine stated. "We want to ensure we have a broad resource network set up so that those responses can be swift and immediate to those businesses. A BR+E program is only as good as responding to those and giving referrals because if a business complains about something or makes a suggestion or wants a follow-up and that follow-up is never done, the whole point of a BR+E is really watered down." Through the network, red and green flag items will be flagged. "Red flags are those kind of items where a business may be identifying that they're having major challenges. For example, maybe that business is going to close or maybe they can't get the labour they need ..." she said. "Green

flags are sometimes good things where a business may be expanding or they know other businesses that want to come into the community and we can support that ..." Coun. Bill Dopson (Montague Reeve) believed the project was "positive and proactive" but wondered how businesses would be selected for visits. Devine said businesses will be selected at random based on a stratified table of the different sectors in the county. "What we know is the number of businesses in Lanark County and the number of businesses within each sector in Lanark County," she answered. "We want to start with that and ensure that when we do select businesses, we select businesses that are a fair representation of those key sectors in your community based on the Lanark County Strategic Plan as well." He questioned if not-for-profit organizations would be included in those visits. Devine indicated they could and have in past BR+E projects, but that will be something the project team will determine. " ... It's certainly not that they're not valuable in our community, so can we include them? Absolutely ..." she noted. For more information on the progress of the BR+E project, visit valleycfdc.com/brande. Presently, 25 volunteers have been recruited, but the project is in need of more. Those interested in participating in volunteer business visits should contact Teri Devine at 613-283-7002 ext. 111, 613-207-5940 or email bre@valleycfdc.com.

sudoku

Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, September 20, 2018 |

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things that may have confounded you in the past will be much clearer this week. Someone comes into your life and will explain what you need to know.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Let supervisors know just how much you have been contributing at work and how it has been beneficial to their bottom line. This can be the doorway to a pay increase, Leo.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may have taken on too much, Sagittarius, and now you think you can’t get it all accomplished. It may take a few long nights, but your initial goal is still attainable.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Conversations with friends the next few days prove to be a great moodlifter, Taurus. Things in your life will continue in a positive direction for some time afterwards.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, do not feel like you have to change much about yourself to fit the mold others have created. It is okay to be unique and be proud of your differences.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It is okay to seek perfection, Capricorn, but not when others are helping out. Be grateful of all they have to offer, even if you may need to fix something along the way.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though work life and home life are separate, there are some instances when they might overlap. Use this time wisely to build deep relationships.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are naturally trusting of others, Libra. But keep a small amount of skepticism going so that no one takes advantage of you. Once you vet friends, keep them close.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You have a trustworthy circle of friends, Cancer. If the going gets a little tricky this week, call upon the people who just can’t wait to support you.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Spending too much time worrying about what others are doing or what they think of you is not productive, Scorpio. Focus on what makes you happy and don’t worry about others.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you must follow through when you say you are going to do something this week. If not, others may associate you with empty promises, and that reputation is not easily remedied.
