colleagues and supporters with the news he would not run against incumbent Antonakos in this year's municipal election. Voters go to the polls on Oct. 22. "Among other things, it is starting to affect my health and I cannot allow this to happen," Flynn told the Canadian Gazette at the time. "The other thing is the burden I carry knowing the whole Louis Antonakos story ... if someone chooses to step up, the story will be told." Last Thursday, Flynn stayed true to his word, posting: "Words came easy, and although there was much to draw from after the last four years, the following are some concerns I feel the citizens of Carleton Place should be aware of, and have a right to know." Not holding back, Flynn noted he was "shocked" Antonakos had "the audacity to run for the mayor's position again." He stressed "the seriousness of the findings" made against Antonakos by the town's former integrity commissioner (IC), lawyer Robert Swayze. In 2017, Swayze was kept busy, with five complaints (code of conduct violations) filed against Antonakos. Although one was dismissed (the second of two complaints filed by Wally Thorbjornsson), he was found accountable for four: intimidation (filed by Kory Earle); disclosing confidential documents (filed by Coun. Brian Doucett); disclosing information from an in camera meeting (filed by Thorbjornsson); and failing to treat members of the public with dignity, understanding and respect (filed by former Carleton Place Mayor Paul Dulmage). These violations prompted multiple calls for the mayor's resignation from the community. Flynn explained in his post: "Council had limited tools in which to mete out punishment, so (it) used

the tools at (its) disposal, and that was to suspend the mayor's pay indefinitely and discontinue his discretionary fund." He added: " ... It was felt by most that one should not be allowed to run for office again after committing such serious infractions of the (Municipal) Code. "'Egregious' is the term the integrity commissioner used to emphasize the severity of the mayor's actions." Flynn took particular exception to Antonakos' code of conduct violation involving Earle. "Bullying, as we all know, is running rampant in society today, and when our mayor is engaged in such behaviour against many, including Kory Earle, president of People First of Canada, and (the) former president(s) of People First of Lanark County and People First of Ontario, it is very disturbing," he wrote. The deputy mayor alleged Antonakos "was determined to discredit and destroy the (Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital) board and management." He accused Antonakos of jeopardizing the proposed 9,000 square foot emergency department expansion project at the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. "In February 2016, a local delegation was accepted by the Minister of Health, Eric Hoskins, at the Good Roads Conference in Toronto to speak to our hospital situation and our funding needs. In this meeting, which was very upbeat, the feeling was that our long wait was nearing an end and necessary funding was imminent. Minister Hoskins suggested that funding under ($10 million) was easier to obtain. At the end of this meeting, Antonakos spoke of the chaos with the Carleton Place hospital and presented the minister with a handful of toxic email communication between him-

self and our hospital. At the same time he requested that the minister disband the board and management and have the province take over control. “The look on the minister's face was a look of bewilderment and disbelief, a look I will never forget." In October 2016, Hoskins visited Carleton Place to announce the hospital was receiving a total of $8.75 million from the province. The total cost of the emergency room expansion project is estimated at $9.99 million. The hospital's foundation will be tasked with raising the remaining $1.24 million. The deputy mayor charged that the mayor used the powers of his public office to satisfy what he alleges to be personal vendettas. He names several individuals including Wally Thorbjornsson. "Whether the mayor likes Wally or not, or any business person for that matter, should never enter into the equation when dealing with the business of the town." The post on the deputy mayor's Facebook page has already been shared 261 times, with 244 likes and 125 comments. "A cohesive mayor and council working in co-operation with staff over the next four years is a must, considering the many obstacles to be overcome - financial in nature and otherwise," Flynn wrote. Flynn served as Carleton Place councillor for two terms, from 2006 to 2010 and 2010 to 2014, and has governed the town as deputy mayor since 2014. The Canadian Gazette reached out to Antonakos twice for comment on these charges by the deputy mayor but did not receive a response.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

MEDIA HOST CANDIDATES OPEN HOUSE OCT. 3 BY STAFF Carleton Place residents will have the chance to connect with their municipal and school board trustee candidates on a more personal level Wednesday, Oct. 3 during a Candidates Open House. The drop-in open house, set for 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Carleton Place Canoe Club (179 John

During the informal evening, residents are invited to connect with the candidates, who will be stationed at tables around the hall, handing out promotional materials. "With so many people run-

ning in Carleton Place, it's hard to know who should get your vote on Oct. 22. “We hope this serves as a unique opportunity for residents to discuss the issues that are important to them, with the candidates one-on-one," noted Metroland East Editor-in-Chief Ryland Coyne.

Firefighters with the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) in Carleton Place will soon have better protection for their heads when they are called out to a blaze. Council members approved the purchase of new helmets for firefighters on Sept. 17, during the planning and protection meeting. Helmets are an essential part of firefighters' personal protective equipment - especially when they are working under extremely dangerous conditions, trying to save lives and property. The OWFC must replace 27 helmets. OWFC fire chief Pascal Meunier, who is also the town's director of protective services, told the Canadian Gazette: "Helmets have a 10-year shelf life from the date of manufacture, and our existing helmets are just shy of this, expiring in early 2019." "They need to be removed from service," he stressed. Meunier would like to purchase the new helmets this year, taking advantage of a special offer - 25 per cent off the regular price. The helmets are discounted because they are just over a year old.

"An internal committee was formed, comprised of two firefighters and two officers, to research available helmets on the market, comparing all aspects, including safety ratings and qualifications," Meunier said. "The committee selected a new European-style helmet, which is different from what the department has now," he noted. Each OWFC member will have access to a HEROS-Titan, by Rosenbauer, which fulfils all important standards and certifications for firefighting helmets. It is temperature-resistant from -40 C to 300 C, with a neck protector made of heat-resistant and flame-retardant materials. There is also a powerful light mounted directly on the helmet. The total reduced cost of the new helmets is $10,125, plus HST. This provides a savings of $3,375, plus HST. The expense was not included in the OWFC's 2018 financial plan. As a result, the $10,125 plus HST would remain unfunded at the end of the fiscal year. On the other hand, it would be included in the capital budget for 2019. "I am pleased with the committee's recommendation, work and commitment on this project, and council's decision," Meunier said.

COMMUNITY

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT IN CARLETON PLACE - 11 YEARS STRONG TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Women, girls, men and boys attended the Take Back the Night march and rally in Carleton Place on Sept. 20. The aim of Take Back the Night, presented by Lanark County Interval House (LCIH), is to raise awareness about violence against women and children, along with promoting prevention and supporting survivors. Now in its 11th year, the rally was held in the park behind Carleton Place Town Hall, with the march following its traditional route down Bridge Street. In the wake of the #MeToo movement, Take Back the Night was combined with a presentation of The Ghomeshi Effect, which took place at All Nations Church. Selections from the documentary dancetheatre performance on sexual violence and the le-

gal system were performed. The emotional evening began with Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn thanking people for their attendance. Too, he pledged his continued support of LCIH. Flynn introduced LCIH executive director Erin Lee, calling her a dynamic individual. "Alone we are strong, but united we are unstoppable in this community," Lee said. Located in Carleton Place, LCIH is a first stage shelter for women and children in crisis. In existence for nearly 40 years, the 15bed facility responds to 2,000-plus calls for help annually, and it engages and provides direct service to more than 400 women and children. LCIH is pursuing second stage housing, and "we are going to launch second stage housing and have residents living in second

stage housing on Nov. 1," Lee said. Unlike a first stage or crisis shelter, which responds to short-term emergencies, second stage housing offers secure and affordable accommodations to abused women with or without children for up to one year. "We have a special guest here this evening," Lee noted. She then introduced Norma Lamont of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), an agency of the Ontario government. "Each year, using the funds we receive from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, we award grants to non-profit groups across the province," Lamont said. In March an OTF capital grant for $105,500 was awarded to LCIH "to renovate a building ... a second stage residential unit for women and children fleeing violence and abuse,"

she continued. "Sadly, domestic violence perpetrated against women and children has continued to increase in Lanark Country since 2010, with countless incidences to quote the OPP," Lamont added. "Our grant review team saw the benefit of having second stage housing in Lanark County." Second stage housing lessens the pressure on women to accept substandard housing, and it supports healing as women build skills and become more empowered - more independent. "Pat Jeeves, a founding member of Lanark County Interval House, is looking down from above, and she is as pleased as punch," Lamont said, before presenting Lee with a plaque from the OTF. An emotional vigil along the Mississippi River bank saw roses tossed in See - page 5

With the drumming of Lanark Drum heard in the background, their names were read aloud: Heather Fraser, Smiths Falls, 1985; Vera Presley, Innisville, 1988; Thelma Fokuhi, Beckwith, 1992; Barbara Lanthier, Carleton Place, 1994; Donna Barr, Perth, 1996; Tammy Proulx, Franktown, 1997; Antonia Lorenzo Taveres, Drummond/North Elmsley, 1997; Diane Durand, Notre-Dame-desPrairies, Que., 2001; Debra Himmelman, Smiths Falls, 2004; Barbara Galway, Almonte, 2005; Kerry and Starla Walters, Carleton Place, 2009; Carol Culleton, Combermere, Ont., 2015; Anastasia Kuzyk, Wilno, Ont., 2015; Nathalie Warmerdam, Foymount, Ont., 2015; Bernard Cameron, Almonte, 2016; Gail White, Shannonville, Ont., 2016; and Nicole Guimond, Odessa, Ont., 2016. Flowers were all tossed

in the river for all missing and murdered Indigenous women and young girls, as well as all women and children.

Working together "As we honour another year of anti-violence advocacy in Lanark County, we must not forget femicide continues to impact worldwide," Lee said. "Indigenous women and girls continue to be missing and presumed murdered, and communities of women continue to be raped and forced into marriage." She added: "Folks are being violated based on gender identity and choice, and many are being devalued. Yet, we still gather and march. We still raise our voices, and I still remain hopeful." Lee stressed women continue to die at the hands of their abusers. LCIH's See It, Name It, Change It campaign aims to bring citizens together to stop violence against women. "We are creating a mixed housing complex in Mississippi Mills, which is

launching in December, and we are looking at taking action to put survivors in the centre," Lee said. Last year, LCIH started working on a survivor video, which will soon be completed and released to the victimology program at Algonquin College. All students will be required to watch the film. "We are empowering each other against the opioid crisis, and we are talking about housing realities and homelessness," Lee stated. "We are demonstrating pride all over Lanark County, and we are trying to shift attitudes by taking action together." As friends, family and community members, "we must recognize: when we know better, we do better," she continued. "We must speak with a heavy heart and challenge all systems." There is a municipal election in 2018, with electorates going to the polls on Oct. 22. "We need to engage local politicians, asking them their position on creating safer communities, and

The celebration marks the opening of the 61-kilometre Lanark County portion of the multiuse trail, which was once part of the prosperous railway line and connects the County of Lanark to the County of Renfrew and the Township of Papineau-Cameron. Warden John Fenik (Perth mayor) noted that he is "looking forward to welcoming the many user-groups at the ribbon cutting ceremony that can now enjoy this well maintained and managed trail." The ribbon cutting ceremony is a great opportunity to explore the OVRT and celebrate all of the trails within Lanark County.

PUT THE PHONE DOWN: DISTRACTED DRIVING FINES AND PENALTIES TO SKYROCKET JAN. 1 If you have yet to kick the habit of sneaking peeks at your cellphone while driving, now might be a good time to start. Ontario's new distracted driving laws are taking effect on Jan. 1, 2019, and they mean business. The first offence will mean a three-day suspension and a $1,000 fine (the current set fine is $490); the second offence will mean a seven-day suspension and a $2,000 fine; and three or more offences lead to a 30-day suspension, a $3,000 fine and six demerit points. You also have to pay an administrative fee of almost $200 each time you have your license returned. Also, keep in mind that distracted driving is no longer limited to texting and making phone calls. The Government of Ontario has posted a list of activities that count as distracted driving. Included on the list is everything from eating to simply holding an electronic device to entering information into a GPS. Drivers are also not permitted to use hand-held devices while stopped at a traffic light. The exception is if the driver is using the device to call the police, fire department or emergency medical services personnel. Officials emphasize that collisions also occur when vehicles are not in motion. Often, drivers are not paying attention to the light cycle and frequently miss advance turn signals or green lights. Drivers who are focused on a cellphone or other device are also not paying attention to the actions of other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. What is allowed? Display screens that are built into the vehicle and used for safety reasons are permitted, as are GPS screens mounted onto the dashboard (assuming you enter the information before you start driving), cellphones with an earpiece, headset or Bluetooth device using voice-activated dialing (but only to activate or deactivate a "hands-free" function, and only if the device is mounted or secured) and portable media players (but you must activate your playlist before driving). If you must use your cellphone in the car, it is recommended that you pull off the roadway in such a way that you are not impeding traffic, or find a place to park lawfully; however, remember that it is dangerous to stop on the shoulder of a 400-series highway, and drivers are prohibited from doing so for a reason other than an emergency. If the situation is not an emergency, drivers are advised to exit the freeway at an interchange or pull into the nearest service centre. Not only does distracted driving jeopardize the safety of the driver and everyone else on the road, but imagine how silly you would feel being slapped with a licence suspension and a fine worth thousands of dollars because you couldn't resist checking a new text? Time to put the phone down. It's not worth it. For more information, visit: www.mto.gov.on.ca/ english/safety/distracted-driving-faq.shtml.

OPINION

DEAR EDITOR: In a letter I penned to the residents of Carleton Place on Sept. 20, I referred to several concerns I had with the leadership of Mayor Louis Antonakos. My letter appeared as a Facebook item so I wanted to reproduce the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital portion as a letter to the editor for this newspaper. My reason for doing so, is that not all residents have access in the format that I chose. The findings of the integrity commissioner that I spoke of, I believe, were themselves extremely damning, but the attack on our hospital should resonate with all citizens. In my opinion, everyone should know the truth. After Antonakos' relationship went sour with the hospital board during the previous council when he was the council representative on the board, his actions and words suggested that he was determined to discredit and destroy the board and management. In my opin-

ion, his attack on the board was relentless and consisted of email and many vicious personal attacks at board meetings, all the while he was playing the hero role, announcing his efforts to acquire necessary hospital funding, an effort that was initiated during the previous term with Wendy LeBlanc as mayor. Antonakos convinced his new council that the hospital board had to be destroyed and although the board made several attempts to meet with council, this was rejected based on the mayor's influence. The attacks on the board went on for the duration of the new council's first year, 2015, with any suggestion that the hospital attend a council meeting to resolve the situation, or report on hospital activities, being viewed by the mayor as a sign of weakness. In February 2016, a local delegation was accepted by the Minister of Health, Eric Hoskins, at the Good Roads Conference in Toronto to

speak to our hospital situation and our funding needs. In this meeting, which was very upbeat, the feeling was that our long wait was nearing an end and necessary funding was imminent. Minister Hoskins suggested that funding under $10 million was easier to obtain. At the end of this meeting, Antonakos spoke of the chaos with the Carleton Place hospital and presented the minister with a handful of toxic email communications between himself and our hospital. At the same time, he requested that the minister disband the board and management and have the province take over control. The look on the minister's face was a look of bewilderment and disbelief, a look I will never forget. Antonakos’ hostility toward the hospital continued in 2016 and eventually I arranged a meeting with Toni Surko, the hospital’s chief executive officer. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss her pending re-

tirement and assure her that I was never part of what I deemed as Antonakos’ attack on the hospital, nor did I support that in any way. I asked her, with the situation between the hospital and council being very public and some people convinced by Antonakos that the board and management was incompetent, if there was something positive that we could make public pertaining to the hospital. She said that my request came at a perfect time as the hospital had just been informed that they were receiving exemplary accreditation from the province. The big point I want to make here is, at the same time Antonakos was trying to destroy the credibility of our hospital, deeming the board and management incompetent, they were being recognized for outstanding achievement. In the fall of 2016 when Minister Hoskins attended our hospital to announce the $8.5 million in funding,

all who were in attendance were very aware that the credit for the funding success was given, for their efforts over several years, to CEO Toni Surko, board chair Marcel Pinon and the board of directors. The minister went out of his way to make that very clear. I want to stress that Antonakos' attack on our

hospital strikes to the very core of our community and in essence, I consider it an attack on all citizens. Jerry Flynn, Carleton Place EDITOR'S NOTE: This newspaper reached out to Mayor Louis Antonakos for comment in regards to these allegations but did not receive a response.

PUPPET PRO PREPS POTENTIAL PERFORMERS JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Noreen Young's Puppet Retrospective wrapped up Sept. 22 with a workshop by talented professional puppeteer Bob Stutt. The three-hour Puppets with a Pro workshop was held at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte. One of six workshops as part of Young's two-month exhibition, it

attracted eight participants from as far away as Hudson, Que. Young herself sat in on part of the workshop. Stutt led the group in a series of exercises designed to give them a feel for what it's like to be a puppeteer on a television show. The affable puppeteer has decades of TV and film experience, including several years each with the Friendly Giant, the Mup-

pets and on Canada's Sesame Street. Would-be puppeteers were provided the cameras, monitors and a few puppets for the workshop as they became the "star for a day." 'Noreen Young: A Puppet Retrospective' ran from July 14 to Sept. 22 at the textile museum. It featured 150 puppets from the world of television, stage and video productions.

Young is a legend in the puppet world and in Almonte where she was artistic director for Almonte's annual Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival from 2005 to 2016. She was recently asked to design and build 10 puppets for an adult puppet opera that was part of this summer's Ottawa's Music and Beyond series. They were part of the Retrospective exhibit.

CHANGES COMING FOR REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONY Changes are in the wind surrounding the annual Nov. 11 Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony in Carleton Place. The organizing committee, spearheaded by members of the local Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place met recently to discuss this year's event, and since this year will mark the 100th anniversary of Armistice, have included a few changes to mark this monumental occasion. This year, The Royal Canadian Legion will assist in commemorating this historical 100th centenary, through the introduction of a Bells of Peace Initiative to honour through Remembrance, the Armistice of 1918. The general concept derives from the use of bells as a celebratory announcement that the war had ended. In Carleton Place, the organizing committee plans on participating in the Bells of Peace initiative through the involvement of churches and businesses in our community ringing their bells 100 times in unison at sunset. Rather than having a piper begin this initiative in Carleton Place, it will begin at 5 p.m. with the sounds of sirens from four Ocean Wave Fire Trucks and local OPP cruisers. They will be strategically positioned throughout Carleton Place and the sirens will sound for 30 seconds prior to the various bells being rung 100 times. An informal gathering will take place at the local cenotaph at 4:45 p.m. of any and all residents related to anyone from Carleton Place who served during the First World War. They, as well as all residents of Carleton Place are invited to this informal gathering, and are asked to bring any type of hand bell with them to ring as well at this special ceremony. Members of our local Royal Canadian Sea Cadets 211 Lanark and Navy League Cadet Corps 181 Carlplace will also participate at this informal gathering by ringing their ships bell 100 times during the gathering at the cenotaph. Changes will also be taking place to the annual Nov. 11 Remembrance Day Ceremony and parade. Both the parade and cenotaph ceremony will begin earlier than normal in order to facilitate the first gun salute to fire at 11 a.m. The parade will form up at 10:15 a.m. on Mill Street at the Carleton Place Town Hall with the parade starting at 10:30 a.m. and the ceremony at the cenotaph beginning at 10:45 a.m. Plans are also in the works for the ceremony this year to include a fly past at 11 a.m. of a bi-plane as a tribute to local hero Arthur Roy Brown.

LOUIS ANTONAKOS (I) – MAYOR CANDIDATE My top priority is to ensure that the current positive momentum over the last four years continues as we responsibly manage growth, keep taxation at inflation, professionally replace our retiring staff, and secure critical infrastructure funding. Partial funding has already begun through the strategic annual capital 20-year planning process and direct contact/meetings with

key ministers within the Ontario provincial legislature is already underway in our seeking grant monies from the province. Other areas of focus will be on the cost/expense of how growth will affect our emergency services and recreational needs. These areas will require a number of new efficiencies and cost sharing agreements with our neighbours in Beckwith and Mississippi Mills.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette reached out to all candidates running in the Oct. 22 municipal election. We asked the following questions: Name, age, residence; top priority, how will you fund it, and what is the demographic most important to you. The candidates’ answers are listed in alphabetical order. A response was not received from mayoral candidate Roland Wutherich. (I) = incumbent.

CAROLYN GERBAC – COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE Name: Carolyn Gerbac; place of residence: Carleton Place. I am running for council because I love this town. I began working here over seven years ago and have resided here for three. I feel I have the ability and qualifications to continue to help keep Carleton Place a great place to live in this integral time of growth. I don’t have one top priority. I think each issue has its own importance and I think as a team we can tackle

CAROLYN GERBAC

the issues and challenges together and strive to address all the issues relating to the town. Although I do recognize certain demographics in the town as having more challenges in this communities than others, again, I see Carleton Place as a whole, which includes all of its demographics. Prioritizing is essential where there are deficits, but I will keep in mind all of the demographics that make up the town.

TRACY KWISSA – COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE I believe a councillor’s role is to make a difference in the lives of as many Carleton Place residents as possible. As a lifelong resident with a firm grasp of issues, I know I can work in a collaborative and professional manner with everyone on council to guide our beautiful town to a prosperous future. It’s basic. Carleton Place needs to attract businesses that bring jobs and innovation. Infrastructure needs to be re-

paired and updated and a solution needs to address the lack of public transportation. Seniors and youth need more opportunities to engage in recreational activities and creative outlets. My experience working with the disenfranchised has shown me many of Carleton Place’s wonderful resources go untapped through a lack of awareness. Together we can make our town the bustling riverfront gem it is meant to be, and the place everyone wants to come live, work and play.

I love Carleton Place and I want to make sure with all these changes happening here we can move forward while still preserving our heritage. What is your top priority? My top priority must be the hospital. We have been granted money for a large ER expansion but that does not include money to purchase the equipment.

How can we purchase new equipment? My solution is to charge a new build fee to the homebuilding companies and allocating that money into the hospital so they’re able to fund this great expansion. With all these new houses being built, more people will be using the hospital. Which means, we need this equipment sooner than later. This will help the hospital budget for PAOLO VILLA the future and get what they need much, much quicker.

TIM CAMPBELL (I) – COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE

insideottawavalley.com

The reason that I am running for re-election as a councillor in Beckwith are as follows: I feel that there is a need for a voice like mine to promote the value of heritage and culture in Beckwith. For example, the importance of our heritage corner at Beckwith Park. I want to continue to promote managed growth while maintaining our rural character. I want to make high speed In-

ternet and natural gas available to all of Beckwith not just parts of the municipality. I’d like to continue to make municipal leaders and residents more aware of the questions surrounding social issues (such as seniors’ issues, youth homelessness and the fact that the opioid crisis is also here in this area of Ontario). I am committed to continuing to support the funding of grants for private roads.

JOE DOWDALL – COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE Name: Joe Dowdall, age: 40, Beckwith Township. Why I want to run: I’ve lived in Beckwith since 2007 and have a young family. This year I felt the need to run for Beckwith council, as our township has evolved over the years and has become a place of choice for young families. As such, I feel that it is important to inject a fresh perspective into the township council that takes into account the needs and concerns of young families.

JOE DOWDALL

What is your top priority, how will you fund it: My top priority is public road safety – Push for traffic calming solutions in high traffic areas as well, as complete an assessment in the various residential areas where there is a need for increased signage for speed limits and “children at play.” If elected, I will promote this issue and insist that the required funds be allocated to this initiative.

KERRI NICHOLSON-WATSON – COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE Name: Kerri Nicholson-Watson; age: 38; place of residence: Beckwith Township. Why I am running: I want to be a voice for the people of Beckwith. What is your top priority: To keep Beckwith rural and taxes lower. How will you fund it: Moderate growth with larger lot average sizes so that increase the tax base and not the tax rate.

a mom of a young child I do have the needs of the younger families of Beckwith at heart. Beckwith council is on the cusp of transition with incumbents nearing the end of their desired council terms. I feel the people of Beckwith would benefit from electing a new councillor this term so that electors would benefit from the experience of the incumbents before they decide to retire from council.

CASTING YOUR VOTE VIA INTERNET/PHONE Mississippi Mills residents will have the option of casting their vote in the Oct. 22 municipal election three ways; either by telephone, Internet or paper ballot. The following are some answers to frequently asked questions from intelivote systems inc., responsible for undertaking the electronic voting (telephone, Internet) in the election. 1. Who will get a Voter Instruction Letter (VIL) with a PIN to vote in the election? A. All qualified electors on the official Municipal Elector’s List provided by the municipality. 2. What if my name is not on the Voters’ List? A. Eligible electors who are not on the official elector list will have to go to a location designated by the election official and complete the required form to have their name added to the elector list. Once this is completed you will be given a VIL by the election official. 3. When should I expect to receive my PIN in the mail? A. Individual PINs will be mailed to eligible electors so that they are received approximately three to five days prior to the first voting day. 4. What if I don’t get a PIN in the mail by Election Day? A. If you are an eligible elector and on the official elector list, but you did not get a PIN in the mail by the start of the election period, you can request a replacement PIN. If the election official’s records indicate you were sent a PIN in the mail then the original PIN will be disabled and cannot be used to cast a vote in the election. A replacement PIN will be issued to you if the original PIN has not been voted and you provide appropriate identification. 5. Why would I not get a PIN in the mail? A. If you didn’t get a PIN in the mail one of two things may have happened. First, your name was not on the official elector list. PINs are only mailed to electors whose names appear on the official elector list as supplied by the municipality. Secondly, a PIN may have been mailed to you and it has been delayed for some reason in the mail system. 6. Can anyone tell how I voted if they know my PIN? A: No. The system does not track how a particular PIN has voted, only that the PIN has been used to cast a vote. 7. Once I have my PIN, do I have to register in advance if I want to use either the telephone or the Internet to cast my vote? A. No, there is no registration required. During the election period, using your PIN, you can use either the telephone or the Internet to cast your vote or vote using a paper ballot if this is offered by the municipality. 8. What if I lose or misplace my PIN? A. If an elector loses or misplaces their PIN they should contact the Voter HelpLine. The election official can decide to replace the missing PIN if it has not already been voted. They will determine if a voter has to travel to a location, sign a form, and then replace the missing PIN, or they can decide to allow the Voter HelpLine agent to authenticate the

caller and issue a replacement PIN over the phone. In both cases, the original lost or missing PIN will be disabled and it will not be able to be voted in the election. 9. How do I access the voting system? A. Voting instructions will be included in the voter instruction letter mailed to each eligible elector on the official elector list. Included in this information are instructions on how to access the voting system. Voters can cast their ballot using the telephone or cell phone by calling a toll free number. Voters using personal computers will use the Internet to visit a website that will allow them entry into the voting system where they can cast their vote. 10. Once I enter my PIN and start my voting process do I have to complete all the races on the ballot in one session? For example, what if I am interrupted and have to hang up the phone for some reason or, if I am voting using the Internet and have to leave my session? A. No, you do not have to vote all the races on your ballot at one time uninterrupted. You can disconnect from the Internet or the telephone and re-connect later, re-enter your PIN, and complete your voting activity at that time. In fact, if you find it more convenient, you can switch from one method to the other and complete your voting using the other method. For example, you can start your voting on the Internet and at some point close your Internet session, and then later re-start the voting process and re-enter your PIN using your phone or cell phone and complete your ballot. 11. If I am using the telephone to vote, how will I know what number to press to vote for the candidate of my choice or what if I make a mistake and select a different candidate than the one I want to vote for? A. The voter instruction letter mailed to you has the list of candidates included on it for your reference purpose. In addition, each time the system presents you with a race to vote for; it lists the eligible candidates running for that position and instructs you to select the corresponding number for that candidate. You may also clear your ballot selections and start over. 12. Once a vote has been confirmed, can it be changed? A. No. Once a vote has been confirmed it cannot be changed. This process is the same as dropping the ballot into the ballot box in a traditional paper based election ensuring complete voter anonymity and secrecy of ballot. The system does not know how the ballot was voted; only that the PIN was used in the election to cast a vote and thus it cannot be removed from the vote count. 13. How do I vote if I am away from home, out of town, out of the province, or out of the country? A. You can vote during the election voting period using the Internet from anywhere in the world. You can also use telephone service and connect to the voting system toll free from anywhere in North America simply by dialing the toll free number contained in your voter instruction letter.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place, like the 1981 Kenny Rogers song, goes out in a blaze of glory on Sunday, Oct. 14. "After 10 years, this is our farewell show," promoter Bob White recently told the Canadian Gazette. White is also a longtime employee with the town's recreation and culture department. The general admission show, which offers theatrestyle seating, takes place in the upstairs hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena), beginning at 7 p.m. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. The duo of White and

Andy Bowes has been the driving force behind the Country Harvest Music Show from the start, with Andy responsible for the stage. The Carleton Place Arena Staff Association presents the event. "We really wanted to do a show in Carleton Place for seniors, for country music fans, and it needed to be in the fall - it needed to be when all the fairs were over," White explained. "Also, the ticket price had to be affordable." For the first five years, the Country Harvest Music Show was held in the Carleton Place Town Hall auditorium, with proceeds going to the restoration of the hall. "We raised about $15,000, with the town

In the beginning, John Bowes ran the sound, and over the years we have had more than 35 entertainers play in the show, with up to 12 being Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (OVCMHF) inductees. "We have covered the Ottawa Valley as far as musicians go," White said with a smile. Farewell show The Bowes Brothers and George Chenier Sr. are the 2018 headliners, and the house band consists of Andy Bowes, Brad Scott, Wade Foster and Mark Lemeiux. "Brad and Wade have been with us all 10 years," White noted. "George Chenier Sr. never played the Country Harvest Music Show; however, he has always attended." "We are planning to showcase the house band this year, with the guys doing a set together," he added. Jimmy Simpson of Sound Around Town is handling the sound, and

matching the funds," White explained. "Our goal was to get the balcony open." The auditorium has seating for approximately 240 people; however, a renovated balcony would mean an additional 60 seats (give or take a few). For the last five years, the Country Harvest Music Show has been held at the arena, with all monies directed toward the facility. "We have raised somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000," White said, and "with help from the Civitan club and The Fall 400 Dragon Boat Festival we have been able to upgrade the lower washroom in arena one." The entertainers at the first Country Harvest Music Show were the Bowes Brothers, Arlene Quinn, Johnny Spinks and McMunn Music. "Of course, we lost Jeff (McMunn) in December 2016," White said. Howard Hayes was on the playlist for the inaugural show; however, he had to pull out. The patriarch of the Bowes family - Clarence - filled the slot.

The exhibit will also include many fascinating anecdotes, such as this one from Sonia Rosamond Salisbury's Memories of Pinehurst: "Of all the memories the most enduring is that of Granny ... her little cupboard with her hats on hat stands, and her dressing room off the main room where she hung her clothes. Mum told me that someone once had been raiding the liquor cabinet. To preserve the supply Mum said that Granny put the liquor bottles under her hats in lieu of the stands. Apparently, a rumour went around town that Mrs. Rosamond was a secret drinker! "Then there was the bathroom with the most wonderful view of the grounds from the semi-circle seat at the curved window. I had my last bath in Pinehurst in the tub, and I asked, 'Granny, why do you have to

The Lodge became her next home, but we were forbidden to go to Pinehurst grounds which we all loved so well."

SCHOOLBOX BENEFIT CONCERT SEPT. 29 Almonte's favourite five-piece alt-neo-psychedelic-folk-rock band, The Ragged Flowers, invites you to a night of groovy original music in support of the local charity SchoolBOX on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Almonte Old Town Hall. Following a sold-out gig at the Cedar Hill School House in August where they unveiled several new songs, The Ragged Flowers are now channeling their musical energy into raising funds for SchoolBOX and the people of Nicaragua in a time of particularly great need. SchoolBOX, the 'little charity that could', has been building educational infrastructure and providing school supplies to tens of thousands of children across Nicaragua since it was founded by Almonte's Tom Affleck in 2006. Nicaragua, once ranked the safest country in Central America, was rocked by protests and unrest in mid-April. As a result, SchoolBOX temporarily suspended its educational programming for the safety and security of its local staff and international volunteers. When the protests hit SchoolBOX was only a week away from completing construction of its 100th classroom, a remarkable milestone made possible with the generous support of many donors in Almonte, throughout the Ottawa Valley, and right across Canada. "We are grateful to have such

an outpouring of local community support for SchoolBOX during this difficult time", said SchoolBOX's acting executive director, Jon Tam. "As soon as it is safe for our staff to return to the field, we will be working hard to complete our 100th classroom and bring classrooms, libraries, washrooms, and school supplies to communities across Nicaragua where there are needed now more than ever." The Ragged Flowers have been longtime supporters of SchoolBOX, with two of its members, Nathan Sloniowski and Ian Douglas, having travelled to Nicaragua with their families. Sloniowski even wrote a song in Managua about his experiences

called "Ron's Journey." The song sets to music the life story of SchoolBOX's Nicaraguan director Ronald Chavarria who was the first member of his family to get an education and break the cycle of poverty. Seasoned fans, or "Ragged Gardeners", know that tickets for the band's latest show will sell out fast, so don't wait to get your seats! Tickets can be purchased online at schoolbox.ca/raggedflowers or at Baker Bob's & Equator Coffee Roasters in Almonte.

SPOKEN WORD OPEN MIKE FUNDRAISER FOR LANARK COUNTY'S NATIONAL LIVE POETS SOCIETY TEAM The Lanark County Live Poets Society (LiPS) is hosting an open mike fundraiser at Under Pressure Coffee House in Carleton Place on Sunday, Sept. 30.LiPS is a spoken word community collective that was created in 2008. It has hosted a Slam series and many related events in Lanark County, and it sent a team to the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word (CFSW) eight times. This year will be the ninth. A slam is a spoken word competition, with performers taking the mike and sharing original work that is judged by members of the audience. LiPS follows the general format for the process of selecting a team of five people to represent

Lanark County, but it has been equally hosting open mike events called Sharing Language and Music or S.L.a.M. The CFW hosts a national competition, workshops, panels, classes and features for spoken word artists across Canada. It is hosted in a different city every year, and this year it will be in Guelph, Ont. LiPS continues to be the only rural spoken word series representing at the national festival. LiPS also promotes and encourages the sharing of poetry, story, song and all formats of the spoken word through community open mikes. LiPS is hosting such an open mike event from 1 to 4 p.m. at Under Pressure Coffee House, 37 Lans-

downe Ave. It is an all-ages, all-welcome event. Members of this year's CFSW team will also be performing some of their work.Admission is $5, with proceeds helping to fund the 2018 Lanark County LiPS team's attendance at the CFSW in Guelph. For more information, including future events, email lanarklips@hotmail.com or follow LiPS on its Facebook page. Submitted by Tammy MacKenzie

OPINION

JEFF MAGUIRE TACKLES THE DECLINE OF READING. scroll and visit social media sites. Young adults are close behind in this regard. The resulting decline in reading books is especially worrying I think. Recently the American Psychological Association published research showing that adolescents in the United States are using their portable devices for many hours each day rather than reading books or

had plunged to just 16 per cent. My concern is that this trend is "dumbing down" our society. In other words people are not as informed as they were when print media was such a dominant force in the world. I don't have a perfect solution to offer with respect to this situation I'm sorry to say. You can't force people to do what they don't want to do! However, just as my parents did so many years ago

adults today can talk to their children about the benefits derived from reading and at least introduce them to a subject most young people today don't even consider. 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.

Among the early memories of my childhood is reading books and thoroughly enjoying the experience. I'm fortunate to come from a newspaper family and reading and literacy were at the top of the list in our house in terms of life skills. My late mother Molly was a voracious reader and she passed her love of books along to me, her oldest child. Mum and Dad both had a lifelong love of reading. Among the lessons they taught me and my three siblings were not only to read books, magazines and newspapers but to comprehend what we were reading. After all reading is, or should be, an important part of the human learning curve. Reading and collecting the 'Hardy Boys' book series fueled my interest in mysteries, especially real-life criminal occurrences. So imagine my surprise when, after moving to Carleton Place in 1976 to become editor of the local newspaper, I discovered that many of the Hardy Boys' books were written by a local native. Carleton Place-born Charles 'Leslie' McFarlane, writing under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, authored 19 of the first 25 books in the series (beginning in 1927 with 'The Tower Treasure') and 21 Hardy Boys titles in total. Reading in my youth also fueled an interest in travel. As a child I enjoyed mystery novels from England that gave me some insight into life in Great Britain. My parents also bought me books penned by American writer and humorist Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He is better known by his penname, Mark Twain. To me it is pretty difficult to top Twain's best sellers including 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. So now, after lauding the

importance and benefits of reading, I am left to comment on the alarming decline in this vitally important life skill, especially among teenagers. The advent of the worldwide web has seriously impacted the written word. In its place is an ongoing landslide in the use of social media. Teenagers in particular are using their phones and portable devices to text,

other long-form media. The results of the study appeared in a Washington Post article which my wife referred me to. The statistics the study produced are startling! And based on what is happening in Canada in this regard I'm sure any such study here would yield similar stats. The study notes that in the 1970s, 60 per cent of U.S. high school seniors reported reading a book, magazine or newspaper every day. By 2016 that number

PARENTS RECEIVE GUIDANCE FROM SCHOOLS, PUBLIC HEALTH UNITS AS CANNABIS LEGALIZATION NEARS TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Canadians will be able to legally purchase and consume nonmedical cannabis this Oct. 17. By way of public information sessions for communities and parents, schools and community health are approaching cannabis legalization in a safe and responsible way. At Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place on Sept. 16, the partnership consisting of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit (LGLDHU) hosted its second talk in response to legislation on nonmedical cannabis. Public health nurses Kaitlin Patterson and Rianne Macdonald led the one-and-a-half hour presentation on Monday night. Cannabis — also known as marijuana, weed, pot, grass, dope, etc. — is the most common-

ly used psychoactive drug in Canada after alcohol. Cannabis is a plant containing cannabinoids, and the two most active cannabinoids are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). “THC is a mind-altering psychoactive chemical, giving a ‘high’ to those who use it,” Patterson said. “Unlike THC, CBD does not have any psychoactive properties.” She added, “The ratio of THC and CBD plays an important role in the side effects associated with a cannabis product.” There are many ways cannabis can be used: smoked (joint or cigarette), vaped (bong or pipe) or ingested (mixed in drinks or foods). “People need to be aware of synthetic cannabinoids,” Patterson warned. Synthetic cannabinoids are man-made chemicals, which some people may use as an alternative to cannabis. Health effects from using synthetic cannabinoids can be unpredictable and harmful, even life-threatening.

Smoked or vaped cannabis takes seconds or minutes to kick in, lasting up to six or more hours. The effects of ingested cannabis can take 30 minutes to two hours, lasting 12 or more hours. “The risks associated with

smoking or vaping include chronic cough, mucous, wheezing and lung infections,” Patterson noted, and “when ingesting cannabis, it is easy to have too much, increasing the risk for in-

LANARK COUNTY BOOK HUB NOW AT CARAMBECK COMMUNITY CENTRE The Carleton Place Public Library, in partnership with the Town of Carleton Place, is pleased to present a Lanark County Book Hub at the Carambeck Community Centre. Residents are welcome to browse the assortment

of books inside of the hub, and are encouraged to replace a taken book with a gently used book from home. Be sure to check back to the book hub often, as new titles will be arriving on a regular basis.

This Lanark County Book Hub was constructed by volunteers from the Perth Men's Shed, with materials donated by the Perth Home Hardware. Funding was made possible by the Community Fund for Canada's 150th

birthday, a collaboration between the Perth & District Community Foundation, the Government of Canada, and extraordinary leaders from coast to coast to coast. "These little Lanark Book Hubs are a wonderful

way to share the love of reading with our community," said Meriah Caswell, Manager of Library Services. What better spot to host one than the Carambeck Community Centre, which is always bustling with ac-

tivity!" For more information on the Lanark County Book Hub program, please visit www.bookhublanark.ca. Submitted by the Town of Carleton Place

Breast cancer causes and risk factors

Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, September 27, 2018 |

Research into breast cancer has shown that its origins include a variety of potential causes and risk factors. Although many of them are biological and non-preventable, some others can be eliminated, prevented or controlled by changing certain lifestyle habits.

Non-preventable causes The physical causes of breast cancer that have been identified are as follows: • Age (increased risk after the age of 50) • High breast density • A personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer • Genetic mutations associated with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes • Taking the postmenopausal hormones es trogen and progesterone • A history of benign breast disease (cysts, hyperplasia) • The early onset of menstruation or late onset of menopause

Preventable factors

2010 OVCMHF inductee Charlie Kitts is back as MC. "Charlie has been with us from start to finish," White said, and "when I told him this was the farewell show he could not believe it." Tickets are $15 per person. They are available in Carleton Place at the arena office, 75 Neelin St., SRC Music, 124 Moore St., and Graham's Shoes, 139 Bridge St. Other outlets: Nicholson's Sundries in Pakenham, 2529 County Rd. 29, and Mark's Cobbler Shop in Perth, 98 Gore St. E. "Tickets are limited," White stressed. "We have been able to

keep the ticket price reasonable all these years because of our dedicated sponsors," he continued, and "90 per cent of them have been with us for all 10 years." The year's sponsors: Alan R. Barker Funeral Home & Cremation Services, All Purpose Towing and Auto Sales, Ashton Station Creative Group, Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd., Bud's Taxi, Brown & MacFarlane Glass Company Inc., Carleton Place and District Civitan Club, Carleton Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning Ltd., Coldwell Banker Jeff Wilson, Donna's Hair Design, J A Patterson Electric, Motion Creative

Printing, PxlWorks Printing, Signs and Graphics, SRC Music, Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd., Thunderbird Golf Club, Tim Hortons, TES (Topps Environmental Solutions) and Waterfall Catering. Door prizes will be given away, and the Carleton Place & District Civitan Club is conducting a 50/50 draw. "The club has been with us for at least five of the 10 years," White said, and "they always donate money back to the cause." With the Country Harvest Music Show a licensed event, ticket holders must be 19 years of age and older. "There is a cash bar, which is run by the town,"

White noted. Too, in addition to snacks, the Civitan club is selling tea, coffee, water and soft drinks. Refreshments are not for sale during the show; however, they can be purchased beforehand and during the 20-minute intermission around 8 p.m. In addition to plenty of parking, the venue is accessible (washrooms and elevator). Too, it is air-conditioned. "This is not a dance," White said. "It is a night for people to sit back and enjoy a great show." The Country Harvest Music Show has had a number of amazing volunteers through the years:

He added: "When we started doing the show I had no grandkids - and I had no white hair. Andy did not have kids, and now, he travels all over with his son for hockey. “ In order to do this show you need to put in 110 per cent." The farewell Country Harvest Music Show on Oct. 14 promises to be a fun night, with the Bowes Brothers closing the show as they started it. For additional information about the farewell Country Harvest Music Show, contact White at 613253-5046.

| Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, September 27, 2018

SHOW RETIRING AFTER 10-YEAR RUN

arena staff, Joanne Henderson, Jessica Hansen, Eleanor Henderson, Barb Scott, Joyce White, Ruth Munro, Margaret Stewart and the list goes on. "Eleanor worked the door for at least six of the 10 years," White said. "Some of the others worked behind the scenes in the kitchen." "We have been so lucky with the support we have received," he added. The Country Harvest Music Show is just one show White has co-organized and promoted, and he has a stack of posters to prove it. With the Country Harvest Music Show ending after a 10-year run, "it does not mean Andy and I will not do another show together down the line," White stated. "It is just time to retire this one."

Outdoor tasks • to •

winterize your home

When the days start to get shorter and colder, you know it’s time to prepare your home and garden for winter. To help you out, here’s a handy list of outdoor chores to get done this fall: 1 2

3 4 5 6 7

PLANT AUTUMN BULBS: before the first frost, plant the bulbs that you want to bloom next spring (tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, crocuses, etc.). PROTECT WEAKER PLANTS: cover the bases of weaker, dormant perennials with mulch (as required by your hardiness zone). Also, consider protecting recently planted shrubs and the trunks of younger trees. CLEAN UP THE GROUNDS: to avoid the possibility of carpenter ant and rodent infestations, remove all dead leaves, branches and firewood you find near the walls and foundation of your home. This step also removes fire hazards. CHECK THE FOUNDATION AND EXTERIOR WALLS: locate and seal all cracks to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage to your home. CUT THE WATER SUPPLY: empty then store garden hoses and shut all outdoor water outlets to prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting over winter. CLOSE THE POOL: drain the water, remove the skimmer basket, empty the filter, remove the pool ladder and set up the winter cover. PRUNE BRANCHES THAT ARE CLOSE TO YOUR HOUSE: not only will you prevent them from damaging the exterior of your home, but you’ll also eliminate a potential bridge for heat-seeking parasites.

INSPECT THE ROOF: replace any damaged shingles (split, curled, wavy, loose, etc.). If you have a flat roof made of asphalt and gravel, make sure the crushed stone covers the whole surface. Also, remove all debris and check the flashing. For best results, call a professional roofer for a maintenance inspection. 9 SWEEP THE CHIMNEY: sweep your chimney — or have it swept by an expert — in order to reduce fire hazards. Moreover, check the chimney cap or put one in place. This simple device prevents animals from being able to sneak into your home. STORE GARDEN FURNITURE: wash all outdoor 10 furniture then store it or shelter it with protective covers. All cushions, however, should be brought indoors. Be sure to also store the barbecue (after cleaning the grill and removing the propane tank, of course). 11 FENCE THE VENTS: to keep rodents out of your home, place grills on all of your vents (i.e. extractor fan, bathroom fan, dryer, central vacuum, etc.). If you already have grills in place, inspect them to make sure they’re in good shape. Also, make certain that each valve closes properly. 12 CLEAN THE GUTTERS: remove leaves (wait until they all fall) and other debris from your gutters so that water can flow as it’s supposed to. If you don’t, standing water could freeze and damage the gutters. Also, take the opportunity to assess your gutters and, if necessary, strengthen them.

Three rules for remodelling your kitchen

The Kitchen Work Triangle

Planning a kitchen remodel? Here are three golden rules you should follow to ensure your project’s success.

clearance in front of your dishwasher for comfortable loading and unloading.

1. THE WORK TRIANGLE When planning the layout of your kitchen, you need to consider the work triangle, a zone delineated by the washing, cooking, and food storage spaces. This triangle is where you will spend most of your time.

In all cases, make sure that you can move around without having to contort yourself, even when the fridge, oven or dishwasher door is open.

For the kitchen to function well, the distances between the dishwasher (or sink), the fridge and the stove must be equal, or almost equal. Don’t place these appliances too far apart. 2. CLEARANCE Do you want to build an island in your kitchen? Make sure to leave about four feet (1.07 metres) of space between your cupboards and your island so that you can move around easily. Similarly, plan for at least three feet (0.9 metres) of

3. LIGHTING Generally, kitchens have four types of lighting: natural light (from a window above the sink, for example), general light (from a ceiling light or recessed lights), task lights (spotlights on your work surfaces) and accent lights (LED strips underneath the cabinets). Be sure to plan out the placement of your lights before beginning construction work.

Bright choices for bathroom lighting

Come home with

...going the EXTRA mile to deliver exquisite service!

For bathroom lighting that’s both functional and appealing, there are a few rules you’ll need to follow when it comes time to choose your fixtures.

Stephanie Mols

The main light source, generally located in the middle of the room, should give off diffuse, indirect light. Opt for a ceiling light or a chandelier, for example.

Stephanie.Mols@century21.ca

For additional lighting, choose wallmounted fixtures or spotlights that you can install above or alongside the mirror behind the sink. Make sure that they shine light evenly over your face when you’re in front of the mirror to facilitate shaving and makeup application. If you want to create a unique atmosphere, try placing light strips along the bottom of the walls or installing embedded lights in the shower. Make sure you choose fixtures that are moisture resistant. Finally, install a dimmer switch so that you can adjust the intensity of the light to your liking.

Electronic locks for a safer home Increasingly popular among safety-conscious homeowners, electronic locks guarantee superior protection for your home. Because they’re unlocked with a key card or a secret code instead of a traditional key, they’re among the most effective methods to prevent burglaries.

For reasons I was never able to figure out, my Montreal cousins, Ronny and Terry often stayed on after the summer holidays and went to school with us for a few weeks. At least, Ronny did. Terry was too young, and so he stayed home with Mother, while Ronny (a couple years older) joined us at the Northcote School.

Miss Crosby was never too pleased when this happened. Cecil and my brother Emerson couldn't hold a candle to Ronny's antics, and they were troublemakers from the word "go." And so, it was with a great deal of anxiety that a lunch was packed for Ronny, and he headed off to school with the rest of us. I was sure, without a doubt, that that first day would be a disaster. There was no doubt that Ronny stood out from the rest of the school. His clothes came from the finest stores in Montreal, a real contrast to the overalls and plaid shirts worn by the rest of the boys from Northcote. His shoes were real leather, and it was easy to see his stockings, which came to his knees, were as fine as could be

found in the best stores in a big city. When recess rolled around, Ronny, surprisingly, had been on his best behaviour all morning. He caused no trouble, and I could almost see Miss Crosby breathe a sigh of relief. Every recess, the entire school played ball. Miss Crosby made sure each and every pupil was included. The older boys didn't like it a bit ... but that was the rule, and that was that. As it turned out Ronny was one of the first up to bat. I was pretty sure it would be an embarrassment ... after all, what chance did he have to learn anything about ball in Montreal? Well, were we in for a surprise. Two Mile Herman was the pitcher, and

when he threw the first ball, Ronny connected it to the bat and the ball went sailing. And Ronny took off like a bullet! He slid into first base long before the ball got there. When he stood up, the store-bought grey short flannel pants were dirt from the waist to his knees. The shiny leather shoes were no better. He had to sit in the school for the rest of the day, the Montreal clothes a mess. I was sure we'd be in for it from Mother when she saw the mess of Ronny's good Montreal storebought clothes. And Aunt Helen hadn't sent anything that even remotely looked like the clothes my brothers wore. When we went to bed that night, I could hear

Mother on the old treadle sewing machine, which wasn't unusual, because she often did much of her sewing late in the evening. Well, the next morning, we could see why the old Singer was fair hopping the night before. Mother handed Ronny a pair of overalls and a plaid shirt. She had taken a pair of Earl's overalls, (the smallest of the brothers) cut them off at the knees, and hemmed them up for Ronny. The Montreal clothes were packed away in the little genuine leather suitcases, and wouldn't see the light of day until the two cousins headed back home. There was nothing small enough for young Terry, but he ran around naked most of the time

anyway. As for Ronny, he tamed down a lot when he was no longer teased about his fancy clothes. All it took was a pair of cut-off overalls, and a little too-large plaid shirt to turn Ronny from a mischievous city-slicker into just another young lad from the farm in Renfrew County.

The ALS Walk - September 15, 2018 Over the last eleven years “Bunny’s Bunch”, with the support of our many friends and relatives, has been able to raise over $100,000.00 for the ALS. It is a very humbling feeling that this has happened in what seems to be a very short time. There have been donations from $5.00 to $500.00 to this worthy cause over the eleven years. During the three and a half years that Bunny survived this dreaded disease, we received much support from family and friends. With the generous support from a few special friends she was able to remain at home for the journey. The ALS Society enabled us to afford the special equipment that was required for her to remain at home as long as she did. Many thanks to everyone, Fred Haughton and family ANNOUNCEMENT

juries and accidents.” In the short term, cannabis use affects a person’s mood, perceptions, behaviour and alertness. “Academics, work, sports and the ability to drive safely are impacted,” Patterson said. Using cannabis long term can lead to addiction, difficulties with memory and concentration, anxiety, depression, cardiovascular diseases and poor lung health. When non-medical cannabis becomes legalized this fall, it will be vended online through a government agency called the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS); however, it will not be sold in private retail stores until April 1, 2019. The OCS will also be the supplier to private retail stores. In Ontario, adults 19 and older will be able to buy and use nonmedical cannabis purchased online or from private retail sites. According to Patterson, consumers will only be allowed to use non-medical cannabis in a private residence, including the outdoor space of the home. “In Ontario, the maximum amount of non-medical cannabis an adult can possess is 30 grams,” she said, and “a maximum of four plants can be grown per household.” Consuming non-medical cannabis will not be allowed in public spaces or when operating a vehicle. “There is zero tolerance for young drivers under the age of 21, novice drivers (G1, G2, M1 and M2) or commercial drivers,” Patterson noted. When choosing to use cannabis, a person can actively take steps to reduce risks to his or her health. There are evidence-based recommendations for how to do so. These recommendations are aimed mainly at non-medical cannabis use. The Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines in Canada are as follows: abstinence, age of initial use, choice of cannabis products, cannabis use methods and practices, frequency and intensity of use, cannabis use and driving, special-risk populations, combining risks or risk behaviours. In 2017, youth in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark were surveyed regarding cannabis.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

The legalization of cannabis this fall has sparked concern among many area parents who have questions on what this means for their children. Here, the Canadian Gazette takes a look at how schools and community health are offering guidance for parents on how to talk to their teenager about cannabis.

Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, September 27, 2018 |

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may want to pull the covers over your head and stay in bed all week long, but that’s just not possible. If you dust yourself off and get out there, you’ll get back on track. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Don’t lose your patience if you need to repeat yourself a few times before your point comes across to others, Taurus. Eventually, others will start to come around.

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!

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may get an inkling that change is ahead, but you can’t pinpoint which direction it’s coming from. Just be at the ready for anything that seems unusual.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Two friends or family members may try to put you in the middle of their quarrel, Libra. This is an unenviable situation. Try to remain as neutral as possible.
