ALMONTE, CARLETON PLACE TO RECEIVE 82 NEW LONG-TERM CARE BEDS Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier is pleased to announce the allocation of 82 long-term care beds in the riding as part of the PC government's plan to bring an end to the province's hallway health care crisis. These are the first new beds for the region in over a decade and come as part of an announced immediate allocation of 6,000 new LTC beds provincewide. "I'm very pleased to see our government move quickly to address this very longstanding issue," proclaimed Hillier. "In my 11 years as an MPP the previous Liberal government didn't build a single new longterm care bed in the region despite a growing backlog, so it's great to finally see real tangible results and action on an issue that matters and makes a difference for my constituents." This move will allow acute care patients to move into more appropriate facilities with the addition of 82 new beds in Almonte and Carleton Place, helping reduce wait times and overcrowding in our hospitals while providing the proper environ-

ment for long-term care patients to receive the services they need and deserve. "It's clear that this government actually puts actions to its words," said Hillier. "This is just the first step towards fulfilling our commitment to create thousands of additional long-term care beds across the province and the region. I'm looking forward to announcing additional developments as they unfold." The 6,000 new beds being allocated province wide represent the first steps toward an announced allocation of 15,000 new long-term care beds to Ontario's health care system over the next five years.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place council has approved Carleton Junction as the new proposed location for the town's community oven. Carleton Junction is the name of the Carleton Place section of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT), which will serve both motorized and nonmotorized users. It encompasses the area between Coleman and Moore streets. Council previously approved the Market Square southeast corner - as the site of the community oven. "I believe several people had concerns about that potentially as a locations," Coun. Theresa Fritz said. She called Carleton Junction "a more suitable location." With the community oven needing about two hours to reach cooking temperature, and during this time the person using it is required to stay close by, Carleton Junction would provide more options to people and families to pass the time. The community oven in Carleton Place is a sister oven to the one built in Mississippi Mills. Mississippi Mills resident Jeff Mills and the municipality's Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens initiated the concept in 2015. Now complete, Mississippi Mills' community oven is located in Almonte on land close to library. Mason Sean MacKenzie constructed it.

Carleton Place's recreation and culture manager, Joanne Henderson, as well as the municipality's engineer and project manager for Carleton Junction, Paul Knowles, recently met with Mills to learn about Almonte's community oven - how it was built and how it functions. "Afterward, we really felt Carleton Junction was a more ideal location for our community oven," Henderson said. "Families and organizations, whether it is a church group, the Brownies or the Boy Scouts, can come and use it ... there are more things to

do there." "As well, if we are having an event or festival at Carleton Junction, various vendors can use the community oven to prepare meals," she added. Although Carleton Place residents and visitors will be able to cook, eat and share in each other's company at the community oven, it will not be built until the necessary funds are secured. The community oven is estimated to cost upwards of $10,000. To date, approximately $5,000 has been raised. The Elizabeth Kelly Foundation in Almonte donated part of the funding for Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place ovens. "I informed the foundation about what we were doing," Mills previously told the Canadian Gazette. "They gave Almonte $5,000 and kicked in another $2,500 for Carleton Place." Other donations to the

LOCAL LIBRARIES CELEBRATE ONTARIO PUBLIC LIBRARY WEEK October is Canadian Library Month. During this month, libraries and library partners across Canada raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in Canadians' lives. In Ontario, we celebrate our public libraries during Ontario Public Library Week (OPLW), on Oct. 14-20. Libraries are Ontario's farthest-reaching, most cost-effective community resource - providing highquality education and lifelong learning, fostering community economic development and reducing the impacts of poverty. Indeed, libraries in Lanark County are extremely active. In 2017 there were 279,700 library visits, 25,543 active library card holders, and 437,990 library books borrowed. Lanark County residents also heavily used their libraries' digital collections, borrowing more

than 60,000 ebooks and audiobooks. In celebration of Ontario Public Library Week, local libraries will be hosting a number of events. The Carleton Place Public Library will be celebrating with "Ten," a teen art show and gala event. Mississippi Mills Public Library will be launching their first Cookbook Book Club this week, and Perth and District Union Library will be decorating their library with Post-it love notes from their patrons. Smiths Falls Public Library is celebrating with a Food for Fines event, while Lanark Highlands will be hosting a library-themed paint night as well as offering fine amnesty throughout the week. Show your love for your local public library by visiting, commenting on a social media post, or participating in an event.

Select bars and restaurants throughout Lanark County will also be helping their libraries celebrate by offering Ontario Public Library Week branded coasters. Show your love for your public library by participating in the Ontario Public Library Association's social media photo contest, #OPLWBookOutfit. This year Ontarians can win great prizes by showing off their matching book cover and outfits. Use your library cards to create an eye-catching photo and tell your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram followers why you love your public library! The contest will be open Oct. 11 to Oct. 20. For more information, please visit your local library. Submitted by the Carleton Place Public Library

The train-themed play structure will go up before the end of October, according to Henderson. In regards to the community oven being located at Carleton Junction, final approval is needed from the County of Lanark, in accordance with the provisions of the town's lease of the lands. The County of Lanark

became part owner of a section of the abandoned Canadian Pacific Rail corridor two years ago, in partnership with the County of Renfrew and PapineauCameron. The section runs from Sturgess Road in Montague to the Renfrew/ Ottawa border. "Is there any concern this (new community oven location) will not jive with their (County of Lanark) vision?" Fritz asked. Antonakos noted the topic has come up between the town's chief administrative officer, Diane Smithson, and Knowles. "Our understanding is the county is not going to get in the way of infrastructure that is going to assist us in promoting Carleton Junction," the mayor said. "All community oven users must do a course to operate it," Henderson explained. "We are partnering with Mississippi Mills ... if you took the course there, you will be permitted to use the community over in Carleton Place, and vice versa," she continued.

CHILDREN CRUCIAL PART OF MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSION While strides have been made to raise awareness of mental health, there's still unfamiliarity surrounding the subject, especially when it relates to children. This year, the Canada Safety Council is marking 100 years and has chosen to use National School Safety Week (Oct. 17-23) as a way to ensure children (and the entire population) have access to mental health services. They're dispelling four myths in their efforts to raise awareness, including that mental health illnesses aren't real. Mental health covers your psychological and emotional well-being, so it affects a person just as much as contracting a cold or breaking your leg. All illnesses vary and can be controlled through medication, but in the case of mental health, often they go undiagnosed or mismanaged, which could cause harm to a person or others. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, undiagnosed illnesses can affect a child's performance at school or make themselves cause danger to themselves. It's the lack of awareness and education on the impact mental health of children can have that's troubling. Another myth is that children will simply grow out of a mental illness, but it can remain with a person for their entire life. A study by the federal government revealed 70 per cent of adults who suffer from some form of mental illness showed signs of it as a child or teen. The key here is early diagnosis and getting children on a healthy path. If treatment is done earlier, there's less chance of future harm. It's also untrue that bad parenting can cause a mental health related illness. It shouldn't be seen as a failure and due to the variety of illnesses, it's sometimes easy for parents to miss signs. The safety council notes that often a child's biochemistry and environment are responsible for the development of mental health illnesses, including stressful situations and exposure to harmful substances while an infant. It's important to seek help if parents feel their child might be suffering. Consulting your family doctor, a mental health association or school counsellor are good first steps. When it comes to treatment, it will not make your child's symptoms worse, says the Canada Safety Council. Many parents don't want their children to be on unnecessary medication, or they see therapy as a waste of time, but each treatment method is tailored to the specific child. Not all will need to take medication, but parents should put some trust in the advice of mental health experts. The topic of mental health in children can be a delicate one, but the most important thing for parents to remember is to start having healthy conversations with your children, provide a safe space for them and when in doubt, seek the help of other resources.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY PROVINCE AIMS TO PUT FARMERS FIRST DEAR EDITOR: As we celebrated the 20th annual Ontario Agriculture Week, Oct. 1-7, I want to salute our farmers for all they do to feed our province, build our rural communities and grow the economy. I know the hard work and long hours our farmers put in and the challenges of dealing with risks beyond your control such as weather and trade issues. Our government for the people understands the adversity our farmers face. We saw those challenges this week with concessions in the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), that will impact our supply managed sector. I want to assure you that we are pushing the federal government to provide compensation for our impacted farmers. We will always stand up for Ontario farmers. There are huge opportunities in the agriculture and food sector; however,

we have heard far too often about the difficulties farmers face with red tape and excessive regulation. The entire sector is saddled with too much of it. We are getting rid of it so farmers can concentrate more on what they do best: working the land and feeding families across the province. Over the next few months you will see more of the steps we are taking to reduce red tape and simplify these regulations. To better serve Ontario farmers, we want to hear from you about your experiences with red tape so we can find solutions. We also want to work with you to strengthen our rural communities, to reduce high energy costs on the family farm, and to continue to put more money in the pockets of farmers. We're tackling crippling high electricity rates and have introduced legislation that, if passed, would scrap the previous government's expensive Green Energy Program. Premier Ford recently announced a plan to expand natural gas access to

more than 70 new rural communities. We understand the importance of increasing access to natural gas, and infrastructure in our communities across the province. I also want to commend Premier Ford for travelling to Washington, where he stood up for Ontario jobs and brought forward the trade concerns of our farmers. Our government has vowed Ontario is open for business, and we mean it. Farmers are the stewards of the land and we recognize the vital importance of your hard work to the economic well-being of Ontario. Over the next four years we will leave no stone unturned to provide real relief to rural Ontario.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS CLAIMS GREAT VEGGIE GROW-OFF TITLE FOR FIFTH YEAR ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate the bounty of harvest and that's exactly what took place Oct. 5 at the community friendship oven at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library for the final weigh-in of the 2018 Great Veggie Grow-Off. The grow-off, spearheaded by the Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens, is marking its fifth year in 2018 of pitting Lanark County communities against each other in a friendly challenge to see who can grow the most fresh produce for local food banks. Participating food banks include Carleton Place's The Hunger Stop - Lanark County Food Bank (serving Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith), The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. "It's something that we (Neighbourhood Tomato) think is really important because it puts that message out to people, number one that there are people living among us that don't have enough to eat; and number two, we have people that are wonderfully generous growers who are willing to share," Neighbourhood Tomato's Jeff Mills said. "It's as simple as that." For the fifth consecutive year, Mississippi Mills took the top prize in the grow-off, with 2,768 pounds of local produce for The Hunger Stop. "One of the things I'm going to

Right

miss about not being mayor anymore is winning this thing (trophy)," joked Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin as he hoisted the grow-off prize. " ... This is one of my favourite events. Not only is it fun because I'm a grower myself, but it's extremely beneficial to our community. We've got a lot of people who need a little help and everybody should have nice, fresh veggies in their diet rather than a bunch of canned or packaged stuff. There's tons and tons of fresh food that comes in at this time of year. If we can store a little bit, it spreads out this nutritious food for a long time." At the final weigh-in for the grow-off, McLaughlin brought along his final donation: three bags of McIntosh and "some of the nicest Empires I've ever grown." The total produce raised through the 2018 challenge was just shy of 10,000 pounds at 9,971. The breakdown of other communities' donations were: Drummond/North Elmsley: 1,909; Carleton Place and Beckwith: 1,695; Perth: 1,485; Tay Valley: 848; Smiths Falls: 788; and Lanark Highlands: 478. "This is fun, this is useful," McLaughlin added. "We have to continue talking it up and make sure that people contribute and we grow some more. I will continue being a booster even after I'm not the mayor." Gardening guru and Great Veggie Grow-Off supporter Ed Lawrence showed up with some

MONARCH BUTTERFLY RELEASE CELEBRATES LIVES OF LOVED ONES TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly," Anonymous. Monarch butterflies were included in the 6th annual Carleton Place Little Black Dress event, which took place on Sept. 15 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. Before the festivities, "we did a butterfly release to acknowledge, honour and cherish the memories of loved ones lost to cancer," event chair Carol Dryburgh said. "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," she added. 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. The Carleton Place Little Black Dress Event is a day of celebration for cancer survivors, and it is a day of inspiration for those just beginning their journey. Above all, it is a gathering of support for all those affected by cancer. This year's event raised more than $25,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, earmarked for research. Participating in On the Wings of Hope were members of the event committee, a handful of attendees and volunteers, including three members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Submitted/Carleton Place Little Before the 6th Annual Carleton Place Little Black Dress event on Sept. 15, a memorial butterfly release was held to celebrate the lives of loved ones lost to cancer. It was called On the Wings of Hope.

For approximately 10 years, the clinic has hosted a bread drive and each year they bake, purchase or receive bread donations from The Olde Town Bakery in Carleton Place and pick an area of town to deliver loaves to families. This year the team decided that due to the recent nearby tornado, the bread delivery should be to those affected in Dunrobin. A total of 116 loaves were packed into a vehicle and was received with much gratitude. Murphy Chiropractic would like to thank all of those who participated in the bread drive this year.

THINGS TO DO

FIRST EVER PUMPKINFEST IN CARLETON PLACE OCT. 20 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Beautiful colours, pumpkin spiced everything and the first Pumpkinfest in Carleton Place. Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA), in collaboration with the town and sister city committee, has come up with the new event - a one-of-a-kind festival for the entire family. Pumpkinfest takes place on Saturday, Oct. 20 in the green space next to the Carleton Place Public Library, running from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Coun. Theresa Fritz, a member of the sister city committee, as well as the council representative on the BIA board, spoke about Pumpkinfest during the recent community issues meeting. "It kind of ties in to something the sister city committee has been doing for a number of years

now," she noted. "Every October, the sister city committee sponsors a giant pumpkin, taking it down to Franklin, Tenn., one of our two sister cities." The large gourd, donated by an area farm, is always the feature attraction at the annual Pumpkinfest in Franklin, which attracts tens of thousands of people. Carleton Place twinned with Franklin in January 2005, and it is also a sister city to Comrie, Scotland, linking in August 1992. "Jamie Law has taken the pumpkin to Franklin the last few years," Fritz said. "Previously, it was local Realtor Ralph Shaw." The journey from Carleton Place to Franklin takes upwards of 20 hours. In 2011, the sister city committee made the expedition a Twitter event, with people able to follow the pumpkin on its voyage. "It is a big, big deal down in Franklin, and we thought we

could try and do a little more on our end, giving the pumpkin a big Halloween send off," Fritz said. In Carleton Place on Oct. 20, the supersized pumpkin will be the centre of attraction, with many activities taking place around it. "We have mini pumpkin decorating, face painting, pumpkinthemed games, dance party and a straw bale structure the kids can climb," Fritz noted. "People can also have their picture taken with the pumpkin." Pumpkinfest is a substitute for the BIA's trick or treat event, which saw participating businesses handing out candy to children. Merchants also offered instore specials and some Halloween tricks. "While very popular, the BIA wanted to look at doing something different this year," Fritz explained. Everyone is invited to throw

ST. JAMES ANGLICAN CHURCH LAUNCHING YOUTH CHOIR TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place is alive with the sound of music. With an established senior choir of 17-plus people and growing, the church is launching a youth choir, ages 10 to 18. Everyone is welcome. The Canadian Gazette sat down with director of music and organist Ian Guenette on Oct. 4 to discuss the initiative. Guenette took over for the late Ralph Langtry who retired in September 2017 after 56 years at St. James Anglican Church. "I took over for Ralph last November, but my official start date was May 1," Guenette explained. "I was still in school, travelling back and forth every second week to play."

He graduated in the spring from Montreal's McGill University with a bachelor's degree in organ performance. "As well, I have also taken choral classes and choral conducting workshops," Guenette noted. "My background is classical." Langtry passed away last October, leaving money to St. James Anglican Church. The only stipulation was it had to be used for music. "There was a gift, which will help us pay for this new initiative," Rev. Brian Kauk stated. Langtry also left the church an annuity. When Kauk told Guenette about Langtry's gift, "we immediately thought of a youth choir," Guenette said. "In my interview I indicated I wanted to start a youth choir ...

they were all gung ho." Langtry had a junior choir at St. James Anglican Church decades ago, which flourished. "Some of the people in our senior choir now were in the junior choir back then," Guenette noted. "Ralph was very involved with youth," he continued. For 33 years Langtry worked as an educator, employed at South Carleton High School in Richmond. There he taught history to every grade (nine through 13). By way of the youth choir, "we want to keep his legacy going," Guenette said. "It is also a great way to honour Kristine (Kristine MacLaren). MacLaren was a music and arts teacher for more See MEET, page 19

State of the Art Health Care Facility With the $8.75 million dollars in provincial funding now secured and construction on our new emergency room set to commence in 2020, we will focus our efforts on supporting community initiatives to raise the remaining construction and medical/clinical equipment dollars required so that Carleton Place residents have access to a state-of-the-art health care facility.

Improved Quality of Life As our community grows, we must continue to further invest in our recreational facilities, parks and trails, environmental initiatives, and arts and cultural programs that will enhance the overall quality of life for all Carleton Place residents.

UNITED WAY KICKS OFF CAMPAIGN WITH FLAG RAISING DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Lanark County is flying the flag. While the red-and-white maple leaf is, naturally, front and centre, another red-and-white flag is also flying in Perth this month.

The kickoff to the Lanark County United Way's (UW) fall campaign began with the raising of the UW flag over the Lanark County council offices in Perth on Tuesday, Oct. 2. The flag raising had been preceded by a similar flag raising in front of Lanark Lodge nearby. In his former profession as a social worker, Lanark County Warden John Fenik said that "I could see the good work that the United Way does." The last time he attended a UW flag raising it was also rainy, but Fenik took that morning's cold drizzle as a good sign. "It's like rain at a wedding," he joked. "It's a good thing." Helen McIntosh, the chair of the Lanark County UW's adviso-

ry council, commended county employees for being "consistently" one of the most generous employee groups of donors to the UW's campaign. In 2017, about $200,000 was invested back into county community initiatives through community partners. While the UW helps out partners like the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, and the Community Justice program, they have also welcomed a new partner, the Lanark County Interval House women's shelter into the fold. "We hope to bring people together," said McIntosh. One of the pressing needs she sees is "to support our citizens in need."

Desmond Devoy/Metroland The Lanark County and United Way flags flutter down on the pole in front of the county council offices in Perth on Tuesday, Oct. 2, before the flag raising ceremony to kick off the charity's fall fundraising campaign.

CARLETON PLACE LIBRARY LAUNCHES SENIORS' TECHNOLOGY SERIES For more than three years now the Carleton Place Public Library has been offering one-onone "Tech Tutoring" for its patrons. By far the largest demographic to take advantage of this service is seniors. Statistics Canada has reported that senior Canadians are steadily increasing their Internet usage. According to 2010 statistics, 60 per cent of seniors aged 65 to 74 are active online, and they're joined by 29 per cent of those over 75. Those numbers are only increasing among the senior population; 68 per cent of those 65 and older reported using the internet "a few times a month" in 2016. Canadians between 65 and 74 were the fastest growing demographic online between 2013 and 2016, jumping 16

percentage points. The biggest barrier to access for seniors is their lack of digital literacy and their fear of asking for help. The Carleton Place Public Library will attempt to remove these barriers in a friendly and non-judgmental setting. By aiding seniors in becoming comfortable with technology, they will be able to expand their involvement in their community and in their social lives in general. Carleton Place Public Library, with assistance from the Province of Ontario and in partnership with a local service organizations, including the OPP, the Town of Carleton Place and the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, present a Seniors' Technology Seminar Series. This seminar series aims to teach se-

niors in our community how to use the internet safely and smartly and to make them more fully aware of what resources are available to them online.

Sessions include the following: • Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 2 p.m.: Online Voting Information Session, presented by town clerk Stacey Blair. • Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 2 p.m.: Social Media 101 presented by library technician Caroline Zeeman. This will cover a broad introduction to what "social media" is and then delve into the specifics of platforms and apps. • Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 2 p.m.: The OPP will be presenting a seminar on Internet safety entitled "Seniors Take Charge", which will focus on avoiding

fraud and being safe on the Internet. • Tuesday, Nov. 27 at 2 p.m.: The Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, in association with the Carleton Place Public Library will present information about making healthy decisions on the internet and how to find credible health information online. All sessions will be held in the Barbara Walsh Community Room at the Carleton Place Public Library, 101 Beckwith Street, Carleton Place. Register by calling 613-257-2702 or emailing library technician Caroline Zeeman at czeeman@carletonplace.ca. Submitted by the Carleton Place Public Library

The Upper Canada District School Board was a sea of orange Oct. 1 as students and staff from across our vast district wear orange shirts to recognize Orange Shirt Day. Orange Shirt Day is officially on Sept. 30 and is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School (1891-1981). It grew out of an account from residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad, who told her story of how her new orange shirt was taken from her on the first day of school at the Mission. Since 2013, Webstad's story has become an oppor-

The date for Orange Shirt Day was chosen because of its historical significance. This was the time of year that Indigenous children were taken from their homes to attend residential schools operated by the federal government. In the present day, the date is now an opportunity for Indigenous peoples, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

I spoke with many people who had some very interesting questions and concerns. It is so nice to talk to people and hear their ideas and what is important to them." "I think it went well," Dulmage said. Fritz liked the format "as the questions are live and honest and you cannot

read off a prepared response." "It was great," Bill Slade wrote. "We have some fantastic candidates to choose from." "You got your questions answered face to face," he added. "It will be tough in the voting booth!" One complaint heard over and over from attendees was the noise level.

than two decades. She lost her battle with cancer in July. A meet and greet and information night for the new youth choir takes place on Friday, Oct. 19 at 6:30 p.m., held inside the church hall, 225 Edmund St. Refreshments will be provided. "No audition is required," Guenette said. "Everybody can sing to some extent." "The night is an opportunity for people to get to know each other, and we will co-ordinate a schedule for rehearsals," he

added. "We might do some warm ups too." In regards to the youth choir's numbers, the ideal situation would be 15 to 20 participants. "It is a great way to develop lasting friendships, and making music with other people, whether you know it or not, is good for your mental health," Guenette said. "Be a part of the church community." The youth choir will sing once a month at the church - for now. Rehearsal will be every a week. "My plan is to travel around Lanark County

with the choir, visiting some of the smaller churches," Guenette explained. "We will also do fundraising concerts locally, and the hope is to have the youth choir join the senior choir at Christmas and Easter." The new youth choir will be about more than just about singing. "We want it to be educational ... how to read music and basic music theory," Guenette said. He highlighted the 115year-old pipe organ at St. James Anglican Church a Casavant, the backbone of musical accompani-

ment. There is also a fairly new grand piano. Guenette moved to Carleton Place at age six, attending Caldwell Street Public School and Carleton Place High School. "I am a local boy," he said with a smile. Guenette is excited about the youth choir. "We will not be singing Grandmother organ hymns ... will so some classical stuff," he noted. "There are great choir arrangements out there ... popular tunes, Michael Jackson ..." According to Guenette, "I am in this for the long run."

OPINION

WATCHING GRANDCHILDREN GROW IS A PRIVILEGE SAVOUR EVERY MOMENT AS IT GOES BY TOO QUICKLY, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

I have never spoken to a grandparent who doesn't rave about their grandchildren. Kathleen and I joined the ranks four-and-a-half years ago. Now we know why people never miss an opportunity to comment on their grandchildren or to show everyone who will look the latest photos of

their grandkids, something most of us have readily available on our phones or tablets. I realize not everyone has children, meaning they won't have grandchildren either. In some cases that's by choice. Not everyone wants to be a parent or grandparent. Still others yearn to be in our shoes but, for various reasons, never have the opportunity. Life can be very cruel! I have spoken to countless people who have told me how fortunate I am to be a parent and grandparent. And believe me I know how lucky we are. Being a grandparent isn't a right, it's a privilege. Kathy and I are truly blessed and we know that!

Of course being a parent certainly has its ups and downs. The same is true of being a grandparent. As grandparents we have a second chance to see children grow, learn and deal with the triumphs and good times along with the frustrations and heartache that life delivers. As a parent you always worry about your kids. Ditto for grandparents! Call it "Round Two" if you like. Being a grandparent means you get to worry all over again. Parents and grandparents never stop wondering what their children and grandchildren are doing, hoping they're OK and that everything is going smoothly. We trust that things will work out

for the best! Our two grandchildren are at what we call "the perfect age." Lily will be five next March while Max turned two in July. They are growing quickly of course - too quickly. But at this age every day is a learning experience and because they live nearby we are able to watch them grow, learn and develop. So far things are going very well I'm happy to report. I know our daughter Heather and her partner Indy won't agree with my "perfect age" assessment in terms of their children. Lily has just started junior kindergarten so she is moving swiftly along the path of life. But as I just noted Max is two. The oft-

repeated term "the terrible twos" definitely applies to our Max. He's a wonderful little guy. But he's a handful at times and he learns some of life's lessons the hard way. Had they been born in another era I think our grandchildren would have been great candidates to appear on the old CBS television and radio segment entitled Kids Say the Darndest Things. The American program was hosted by the late, great TV and radio personality Art Linkletter, a native of Moose Jaw, Sask. Honestly, some of the things our grandchildren say are truly beyond belief ! I won't embarrass their parents by repeating any of those statements in print.

But I'm sure every grandparent who reads this will shake their head knowingly. Little children are hilarious and most of the time they don't even know it. Lily and Max always make our day and some of the things they have said will stick with us forever. We realize the children won't be young for long. Therefore we savour every minute we have with them. Grandchildren are truly a gift! 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.

Bringing the Specialist to You It’s a simple way to connect with specialists – without even leaving town. Telemedicine links patients and health care providers using two-way, secure video-conferencing. It can help improve access to care and reduce wait times.

insideottawavalley.com

A Telemedicine appointment is just like a regular ar appointment, only the health care provider is on n a monitor and uses tele-diagnostic equipment to hear heart and breath sounds and a special camera to provide close-up images – all as if you are sitting in the same room. At each appointment, patients are able to see, hear and talk to a doctor or other health professional.

Registered Nurse Denise Davies has been CPDMH’s Telemedicine Coordinator since the program began. “Patients tell me they can really see the benefits. And they love coming to their familiar local hospital instead of travelling to see a specialist.”

www.cpdmh.ca

CPDMH’s CPDMH established Telemedicine programs include specialties such as Hematology, Respirology, Res Dermatology, Nephrology, Oncology, Infectious Diseases and Endocrinology. The system also supports weekly rounds, linking heal ealth care providers with colleagues at other facilities. faci Finally, the technology is used for mee eetings and education sessions.

I had a very positive experience. Telemedicine eliminated the time and costs associated with travelling and it made it easier for my family to be involved in my care. — Telemedicine patient

CPDMH has been providing health care via Telemedicine since 2001 via the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). In 2010, 335 pati atients were cared for via Telemedicine at CPDMH. Last year, more than 2,500 patients were served. Patients require referrals from their family doctor. For more information on the program or services offered at CPDMH, please contact Denise Davies, Telemedicine Coordinator at 613-253-3821 or visit www.cpdmh.ca/ telemedicine.

MacCRIMMON - In loving memory of my husband Leo Dale MacCrimmon who passed away October 15, 2017 and son Lloyd MacCrimmon who passed away January 19, 2018. I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine. I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, That I can go on living When I no longer have you. And the memories of the happy years, When we were together; The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, Will stay with me forever. And when I’m sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.” Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday.” Lovingly remembered by Wife and Mom, Ada Miss you Dad and Brother Ray, Lois and Kelvin

When the time comes... If it should be that I grow weak, And pain should keep me from my sleep; Then you must do what must be done, For this last battle can’t be won. You will be sad, I understand; But don’t let grief then stay your hand. For this day more than all the rest, Your love for me must stand the test. We’ve had so many happy years; What is to come can hold no fears. You don’t want me to suffer so... The time has come, please let me go. Take me where my needs they’ll tend, But please stay with me ‘til the end. To hold me close and speak to me, Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree, It was a kindness done for me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I am saved. Please do not grieve that it was you Who had this painful thing to do. We’ve been so close, we two, these years; Don’t let your heart hold any tears. -Author unknown We miss you Bogart

tomatoes and offered his congratulations to Mississippi Mills and the organizers. "There are people among us who don't have enough to eat and I think that sucks," he said. "In this country, that is really not great, but there are also a lot of gardeners and people in the community who are more than willing to help out and that they do. It's proof in this fun competition." Stressing just how important donations of fresh produce are to local food banks was Karen Lomas, board chair of The Hunger Stop. She said families look forward to the additional items. "The smiles on the faces

when they are able to pick up as much fresh food as they can and walk out the door with it, it means a lot to them," she remarked. The Hunger Stop makes sure nothing goes to waste, either. Lomas said when vegetables start to get past their prime or they can't give out the produce fast enough, they get creative. "We chop up, we freeze and then we make salsa and pasta sauce," she explained. "We have a restaurateur in town (Carleton Place), Ian (Carswell) with the Black Tartan Kitchen and he makes up soup from everything that's leftover. We feed all our people from what you guys bring in, from what the gardens bring in, all the way through, I think we got to March last year with vege-

tables grown from gardens. So, it's greatly appreciated." The event was held at the community friendship oven site as it's another initiative of Neighbourhood Tomato's that works in tandem with the grow-off. "We have the Great Veggie Grow-Off where we teach people to grow and we have different garden plots in places," Mills explained. "Our latest thing to close that loop from seed to table is we're wanting to teach people how to cook and share. We've built this oven and we're very, very proud of it. It's being used a lot by the (Almonte) farmers' market and it's being used today for a fundraiser for the (Mississippi Mills) youth centre."

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!

COUNTY'S MULTI-USE TRAIL STRETCHES 61 KILOMETRES Continued from page 1

county formed a partnership with Renfrew County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron to purchase the abandoned rail bed from Canadian Pacific. It stretches 296 kilometres from Smiths Falls to Mattawa. The county's portion begins at Sturgess Road in Montague Township, running through the municipalities of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills to the Renfrew/Ottawa border. Fenik credited the efforts of Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet for his involvement from day one, as well as the work of Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves, director of public works Terry McCann and his team for getting the trail ready. Over the past year, the county has invested $1.5 million to provide granular resurfacing, gates, signage and up-

grades to three bridges in Almonte. "Also, a hand to all members of Lanark County council, who at times debated very passionately about the vision of this trail," he stated. "I think the vision is still unfolding and it will for years, but my thanks to all members of county council who came together and worked co-operatively to make this happen." County Coun. and chair of the economic development committee, Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd, noted he was pleased to see hundreds come together to share in the trail's vision, which will "create more friends." "The friends I want are people like the friends who are here today that have a vision of what this (trail) could be and how it can be shared by the snowmobile clubs, four-wheelers, bicycles, cross country skis or whatever," he remarked.

"Those are the types of friends that I want. I do not want 'Chicken Little' friends who tell me all the problems with it because they end up in chicken noodle soup. I want these people who are here today, they're the people who make this trail happen ... This is just the beginning." Linda Manzer and David Frisch of Almonte were two attendees less than thrilled with the trail's opening. Frisch and Manzer, who raised a sign emblazoned with 'I'm Not Celebrating,' both live on the OVRT and are upset the county wouldn't approve of a motorized vehicle bypass around the town of Almonte. Concerned over safety, enforcement, as well as noise and decreasing property values, the biggest issue Manzer said, is the lack of acknowledgment from the county. "There's no response to policing. Who do we call? What happens if there's an

accident? They (county) haven't talked to us at all," she commented. "They'll talk to the snowmobile clubs and the ATV clubs ... but they haven't talked to people like me and David." "The fact is, the OPP has neither the means nor the budget to police this trail effectively," Frisch added. Manzer, a world-renowned guitar maker had planned to open an international school in her home, but is thinking differently now with the OVRT 20 feet from her door. "My life has changed completely because of this. I'm ignored. I'm upset," she said. " ... I'm here because I couldn't let this happen without at least one person here knowing what is happening. Sorry, I rained on your parade. They (councillors) get to go home to a peaceful place. I don't." Sweet, who has crisscrossed the province to try and make the OVRT dream a reality acknowledged

there has been some "push back," but he is confident communities will jump on board and see it as an asset. "I know there are some who are not happy. I get that. I understand that, but hopefully we can make converts to the whole process," he said. "We've got work to do. We're completing a management plan and that management plan is in the hands of Lanark County and they're reviewing it and we all work in co-operation. There are issues that we have to address yet speeding, safety, 911 signs and all of that stuff." Spanning nearly 300 kilometres and almost 2,700 acres, Sweet noted the OVRT is an example of collaboration at its best and cited the active transportation, tourism and economic development benefits. He said the best is yet to come. "I say to Lanark County: congratulations. They're way ahead of us ... they've got their whole trail com-

plete. I wish we could say the same, but we're working at it and we will get it done," Sweet said. "It'll be marvellous to be able to drive all the way from Mattawa to Smiths Falls, but eventually when we make that connection up near North Bay, you can go north past Sudbury and you can go all the way on the Trans Canada (Trail). It opens up 4,000 kilometres of trails in eastern Ontario."

Trail hours With Oct. 5's ribbon cutting, the OVRT is now open to the public from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 1 to Nov. 30 and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Dec. 1 to March 31. Non-motorized users have the right of way on the trail. Dogs are permitted, but must be kept on a leash and users must clean up after pets. Motorized vehicle users must possess a licence, insurance and ATV or snowmobile club permit to be allowed on the trail. For more rules and information, visit www.ottawavalleytrail.com. Those who wish to report an issue on the OVRT should email trails@lanarkcounty.ca.

CARLETON PLACE CHAMBER AWARDS GALA OCT. 19 Small Business Week is an annual celebration of entrepreneurship in Canada that was first organized in 1979 by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). With events happening across the county, the week is an opportunity to bring small business owners together to network and celebrate achievements. And small business is a big deal in small and medium sized towns and rural communities across the country and across the province. Small businesses contribute greatly to their local economies through job creation and taxes and are often very involved in many aspects of the community. "Small businesses are so important in a community. They are the ones that make a community unique and different, they are the supporters of local organizations, of community teams and events," said Jamie Law, chair of the board of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce. And that is exactly why the chamber feels it is so important to recognize business through the Business Awards of Excellence Gala. Now in its sixth year, the business awards were first developed in 2013 as an avenue to celebrate and recognize businesses that are making a difference in the community. For the second year, the Business Awards of Excellence will be held at the Grand Hotel in Carleton Place. "We are excited to be back at the Grand this year. It is truly an exceptional venue to celebrate the achievements of the business community!" noted chamber manager Jackie Kavanagh "The hotel, like the chamber has a long history in the community and we think it makes a perfect venue for celebrations." In all there a 21 local businesses that will be recognized at the awards in six different categories. And the nominees are: Business/Business Person of the Year . Stonefields Estate . The Waterside Retirement Community . The Thruway Restaurant Community Involvement Award . Parkit360 . The Studio School of Dance . Luxart Homes . Black Tartan Kitchen Excellence in Customer Service .

ry Fox Run since MacLaren's passing. "I know a lot of seniors will be thinking of her today," said SFDCI Grade 12 student, Krissy Draper. Draper was in MacLaren's class the year she was diagnosed with cancer. "We thought nothing was wrong," she said of learning of the diagnosis. "We were shocked; we didn't know." MacLaren was diagnosed in May 2017 with leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer originating from smooth muscle. She passed away just over a year later. "I was just so shocked," said Draper of learning her former teacher had passed away. "She was one of my favourite teachers. She was a kind person, especially when you were going through a lot." The death of MacLaren also came as a surprise to Grade 12 student Emily Tym. "I thought she was getting better," she said. Tym had MacLaren as a teacher in both Grade 9 and 10. "I emailed her a couple of months before she passed away, saying I hoped to see her soon," she said. "But, I never got to see her again." "I think Kristine has touched the lives of so many students and community members," said SFDCI principal, Marsha McNair, on the day of the Terry Fox Run. "It's just natural today that people think of her." Currently, McNair said the school is in conversation with the friends and family of MacLaren

SFDCI teacher, Kristen Drouin, who knew MacLaren well, said in an emailed statement after the Terry Fox Run that she's found it challenging to express her thoughts and feeling about the great loss they've endured as a result of MacLaren's death. "I've struggled with what to say because I couldn't come up with something that I felt was adequate to express the profound sense of loss I feel," she said. It was on Saturday, when

Living with arthritis pain can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life – time with grandkids, playing golf, even working in the yard. It would be nice to get out of bed – just one morning – without pain. Every time you try and push through the pain…like standing or walking for a long period of time…you pay for it for the next 2-3 days with even more pain.

Do you remember the Vioxx problem? It was a medication designed to relieve arthritis pain…but like all drugs, it had side effects. After years of use worldwide, the makers of Vioxx withdrew it from the market because of the overwhelming evidence it caused heart attacks and strokes. There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT not before seeking a natural way to correct the CAUSE of the problem! Ask yourself … after taking all these pain medications…maybe for years…are you any better off?

Pain Is Not from ‘Old Age’

Have you had people telling you your arthritis is just the natural process of the body getting older- that you should expect to have arthritis? Sure, if you don’t take care of your damaged joints now, as you get older they will be worse.

Old age is not the cause of your arthritis. I’ll venture to say all 360 joints in your body are the same age, yet arthritis and joint degeneration have not affected every one of them – so it’s not an “old age’ problem. My name is Dr. Sean Murphy, owner of Murphy Chiropractic. Over the past 18 years since we’ve opened the doors, I’ve seen hundreds of people come in suffering with arthritis and leave the office pain free, stronger and functioning better. I’ve made it my mission in practice to help those suffering with serious pain like you.

OPINION

AUNT LIZZIE'S HAND-ME-DOWNS WERE ALL PUT TO GOOD USE IN THE DEPRESSION YEARS, GIFTS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Even though Aunt Lizzie, Father's sister from Regina, regularly sent a big wood box full of clothes her two university educated sons could no longer wear, we always seemed to get summer clothes in the winter, and winter clothes when sweat was pouring off our noses. However, Mother was grateful for whatever Aunt Lizzie packed in the box, and very little ever went astray. Once she had gone through the box, and found out what fitted my three brothers, Mother sorted the remainder into different piles. Of course, it was all boys or men's clothes, so

the chance of my sister Audrey or me getting anything we could just put on and wear was never an option. One pile was put away for the next season, one pile was what could be worn without being ripped apart ... and this usually caused a fist fight between my three brothers who always wanted the best of the lot. Mother settled that in a hurry by throwing everything back into the box, and telling the boys SHE would decide who got what! I knew from what came out of the box that Uncle Jack must have had a very important job, because always there were at least two men's suits. Of course, they would be well worn, and shiny, but by the time Mother was finished with them, there was no resemblance to what had come from Regina. Mother said the suits were pure serge, whatever that meant. But according to her, serge meant wealth! And we learned that wealth in the '30s meant having a good paying job with no chance of being

laid off. So Uncle Jack worked for the CPR which meant he and Aunt Lizzie could go anywhere in Canada free of charge. I just couldn't imagine anyone being that rich. Imagine, a free pass to anywhere in Canada! No wonder the handme-down box was full of the finest of boy's clothes, and the best serge suits you could buy. And Aunt Lizzie's hand-me-downs weren't to be sneezed at either. She was very partial to red, and we could always count on a silk dress, or maybe a blouse in the brightest of reds being in the box. Because I had flaming red hair, these pieces of clothing always ended up being made over into something for my sister Audrey, which suited me just fine, as red certainly wasn't my favourite colour at the time. For some reason it was considered redheads could not wear red. Even my sister Audrey, whom I considered to be just about the smartest girl in Renfrew County had no explanation either. So all the elegant pieces of

clothing Aunt Lizzie sent our way, always ended up being made over for Audrey. Uncle Jack's suits were made into skirts or jumpers for me and my sister. They would be taken apart, seam by seam, and then those seams would be flattened out with a hot-iron and a dampened tea towel. Why Mother didn't simply cut them off was beyond me. But of course, that would be wasting a couple of inches of perfectly good serge material and that would never do. Never were Uncle Jack's suits made over for my brothers. They were used to breaks and overalls, and Father was bone thin and Uncle Jack as round as a balloon, so Audrey and I always ended up with serge skirts and jumpers, which gave me special joy since I knew they had once been on the back of someone who held down a very important job many miles away. My two cousins, I figured, must have been pretty spoiled by Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Jack, because

one or two shirts that looked like they had just come out of a store were usually in the hand-medown box too. And this is where the fight began between two of my three brothers. We had never seen our cousins from Regina, but they must have been about the same size as my brothers, because mostly, the fancy shirts fit Everett and Emerson like they had been made for them ... poor Earl, much smaller, wasn't lucky enough to get a shirt from Regina! When the box was emptied, it was chopped up for kindling for the Findlay Oval. I often wondered if Aunt Lizzie ever wondered how much every last bit of the hand-me-down box was put to good use. Anything that couldn't be made over was put into the rag bag, some of it was saved for making braided rugs, and everything else ended up on our backs. When the hand-medown box arrived from Regina, every one of us got something out of it, and helped ease the pain of the

When it comes time to swap your winter tires for your summer set, get in the habit of changing your windshield wipers too. Why? Your wipers have a rough life. They’re bombarded with drying UV rays all summer and regularly get hit with your scraper come wintertime. It’s no surprise that their effectiveness tends to diminish after only a few months of use. When your wipers start leaving streaks on your windshield and making noise, it’s time to replace them. Most experts and enthusiasts agree that you should change your wipers every six months. Summer or winter wipers? A decade ago, windshield wiper manufacturers sold models designed for either summer or winter. Thanks to technological advances, however, today’s wipers are now more flexible and better suited to the curvature of the windshield, making them much more efficient than their predecessors. This means weather no longer has much of an impact on their performance, regardless of the season. If you drive an SUV or a hatchback, don’t forget about your back wiper, which should also be replaced every six months.

Easy installation Many people think that installing windshield wipers is complicated, but that isn’t the case. Wipers are sold with small adaptors and only take a few minutes to install. If you aren’t comfortable doing it yourself, ask your mechanic to take care of it when you take your car in for your seasonal tire change. Finally, keep in mind that the condition of your windshield wipers is just as important as that of your tires. Don’t hesitate to invest in a quality set, as your ability to properly see the road in all conditions is crucial. Good wipers are an essential safety feature.

Fall is hunting season and many game enthusiasts will venture off paved highways and onto dirt roads and possibly encounter other types of harsh driving conditions. Here are some important tips to follow before you set off on your hunting adventure. For starters, make sure your vehicle is able to take on difficult terrain. You’ll need an all-wheel drive transmission and, ideally, high ground clearance designed for bush roads. Pickup trucks and SUVs are respectable options. It’s also a good idea to get off-road tires.

you can communicate in case of a mechanical problem or if you lose one of your hunting buddies. A hatchet and shovel may also prove useful to get you out of a sticky situation (if a tree prevents you from moving forward, for example). You’ll also need towing cables in case your truck gets stuck. Use a tree or a friend’s truck as an anchor point. Finally, always stay on the trail and follow signage, and keep a change of clothes in your vehicle. You never know what Mother Nature has in store.

Change your wipers with Cars On the road to hunting season! your winter tires

If you aren’t familiar with the trails leading to your camp, it makes sense to do some reconnaissance to avoid unpleasant surprises (such as a fallen tree blocking the road or a flooded trail section). And this might seem obvious, but don’t forget to bring at least 10 litres of extra fuel, just in case. Ideally, you’ll head out into the wilderness as part of a group — you don’t want to end up stranded alone, miles away from civilization. Bring walkie-talkies so that

Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, October 11, 2018 |

Headlight deterioration As your vehicle gets older, your headlights begin to darken, which significantly weakens their effectiveness over time. It starts to happen on most vehicles after roughly five years but could occur even earlier, as the issue is with the lens material and not the car itself.

Among the materials commonly used to manufacture headlights, glass stays clear the longest but has become increasingly rare over the last 15 years. Today’s automakers almost exclusively install lenses crafted from polycarbonate, which are easier to adapt to the silhouette of contemporary cars. The trade-off is that polycarbonate is far more vulnerable to abrasive debris such as sand, calcium and salt as well as the sun and rain. Opacity can begin to diminish the effectiveness of your headlights after only three or four years, particularly if you frequently travel long distances with your vehicle. Motorists who routinely use the highway during the winter also run the risk of faster wear and tear on their headlights.

your lenses professionally polished. The steps involved are as follows: • A thorough cleaning. • A pressure wash, to cut through blemishes on the lens. • The actual polishing. This will restore the transparency of the lens and leave it looking good as new. A variety of businesses offer this service, including automotive glass retailers, independent mechanics, rustproofing companies and sometimes car washes. Prices typically range from $70 to $90. Refurbishing your headlights is an effective way to prolong their lifespan. That being said, it isn’t a permanent solution. Eventually, road debris and UV rays will start degrading your lenses again. One last trick to prevent this is to apply UV-proof wax a few times a year to counteract the harsh effects of the sun.

Low-cost solutions The best option would be to replace your dull headlights, but even if you choose a recycled pair, this won’t be the most cost-effective solution.

What is an octane rating? The measure of a fuel’s ability to withstand engine knocking is called an octane rating. Knocking is the result of uncontrolled combustion between the mixture of air and fuel and is most often apparent when your engine is pushed to its limit (high acceleration or driving in the mountains, for example). Numbers at the pump Automakers provide a recommended octane rating for use in each of their models. Filling your gas tank with higher-rated fuel than necessary would be a waste of money. For cars designed for peak performance, unleaded super is generally the norm. In certain situations that are especially taxing for your engine, a higher rating might be required.

But what do you do if you still notice knocking in your engine, despite the use of a higher-rated fuel? There are a few different solutions, including the use of a product called an octane booster, which contains additives designed to solve certain engine knocking problems. A second solution is to clean out your engine’s combustion chambers to eliminate unwanted deposits. Make sure you do all the necessary research when it comes to buying a cleaning product. Keep in mind that carbon deposits will return every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometres, which makes this solution a temporary one that needs to be repeated every so often. If the issue persists, make an appointment with your mechanic and let the experts fix the problem for you.

Whether you’re towing a heavy load, driving through mountainous terrain or heading to the campground with your family and all your equipment, each time you need your engine to work extra hard, a higher rating should be used. Fuel with a higher octane rating will better absorb the excess heat generated by your engine. Cars that have crossed the 100,000-kilometre mark on the odometer can also benefit from a higher octane rating, which may prolong the vehicle’s lifespan.

The far less expensive alternative is to have

Make a budget No matter what kind of car you’re shopping for, it’s easy to get carried away and go over your budget. Make a list of your wants and needs, and establish a budget that factors in insurance and maintenance costs. Don’t forget to leave yourself some wiggle room for the unforeseen. Get your hands on the car’s history Ideally, you’ll get the chance to view the invoices for any maintenance work done on the car. Dealerships usually keep the paperwork for all vehicles they’ve done maintenance on, and some private sellers do the same. Otherwise, there are organizations such as CarProof that offer vehicle history reports, but they aren’t always comprehensive. Know who the seller is Be sure you know exactly who you’ll be buying the vehicle from. There are ill-intentioned people everywhere, and the car sales

business is no exception. The thought of making a quick buck can make people greedy. Knowing who you’re doing business with is crucial. Have it inspected Once you’ve taken all the necessary precautions, it’s time to have the car inspected. Bring it to an independent mechanic of your choosing — if the seller insists on taking it to a specific garage, take your business elsewhere. Take it for a test drive Take the car out for a spin — don’t settle for simply starting it! Ideally, you should take 15 to 20 minutes to familiarize yourself with the feeling of the car. Try to drive it on city roads as well as on the highway. Listen for any suspicious sounds, pay attention to the suspension and keep your eyes peeled for any little details that could reveal the vehicle’s true condition. Get it in writing If you buy your car from a dealership, you’ll need to sign a contract. Make sure that it matches your verbal agreement on all points. If you decide to purchase from an indepen dent seller, it’s highly recommended that you draft a written agreement, even if you aren’t required to by law. In the event of future problems, it might offer you some valuable protections.

Huge thank you for all the donations the Lanark Animal Welfare Society has received to help with the renovations of the shelter! We're very excited to announce that renovations will start by the time you read this column. A very large part of the building will be demolished and rebuilt. It should last for the remainder of the year. We kindly ask that you not drop off any more new cats or kittens. We simply can't handle it and don't have the space. Call the shelter at 613-283-9308 if you have questions. Should you be interested in fostering some of our cats then please look at our website or Facebook page for more information or send a message to shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. Thank you!

We are blessed with the help of our Pet Valu stores in Almonte, Perth and Carleton Place, as well as the Natural Pet Foods store in Carleton Place. They'll continue to receive our adoptable cats. We'll try to update our available cats' pages as fast as we can but it is always best to click on their full picture to read from where they can be adopted.

Microchip clinic/adoption weekend Last call to mark your calendar to have your pet microchipped. The clinic will be held Saturday, Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Pet Valu in Perth. Cost $30 cash. No appointments needed. Please be reminded also of the upcoming adoption weekend in Perth at Pet Va-

LAWS SHELTER RENOVATIONS SET TO BEGIN THANKS TO GENEROUS DONATIONS

lu Saturday Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 14, all day, both days. We will have several cute cats and kittens available for adoption. On Sunday, Oct. 14 at Pet Valu in Almonte, you also have a chance to adopt cats and kittens from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) representatives will be available with bouncy cats. For your sweet tooth, they'll be having a bake sale as well.

This week's featured pets Harry Please say hello to bouncy little Harry. He's about six months old and was live trapped in Almonte. Harry is enjoying all the regular meals he gets at LAWS, a far cry from being a stray cat. He loves toys, especially with flashing lights. Although he's warming up to potential adopters he will need a bit more time to trust all of them. Please meet Harry at Pet Valu in Almonte. Ozara Ozara is a pretty, all grey young female who gets along well with the other cats she has met. Ozara is playful and would do well in any household where she can grow up a little more and is offered a

Submitted/LAWS Harry steady routine with lots of encouragement and love and attention. Ralph Ralph found his way to the shelter one day. On his own? We don't know. It took a few days of feeding him outside before he was trapped. Initially not very happy being in a cage (for an adjustment time only), he's now playing in the cat runs with several other cats. He's the friendliest, handsome grey/white guy

you can imagine. He follows you around and loves to be handled. Ralph is available in Carleton Place at the Natural Pet Foods store. Whitney Our latest office cat is Whitney. She's absolute adorable and loves to walk around the shelter while sitting on your shoulder. She seems to like to see the world from up high. Maybe because she's deaf ?! Despite her hearing loss, she

already caught four mice at the shelter. Unbelievable! She's the first one you'll see when you come to LAWS. She's a dilute calico with lovely faded orange markings on her overall grey medium long hair. Please adopt her from LAWS. Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

As kids, my sister and I loved walking in our neighbourhood on a snowy evening and sneaking glances into the lighted interiors of the homes we passed. There's something magical about a snapshot of a homey interior on a cold winter's day, especially around Christmastime, when decorations add such festive charm. Imagine my delight when I first heard about the annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour organized by the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW), Perth & District. Here was a rare opportunity to tour eight of our area's most unique and inspiring houses, and for a worthy cause. Over its 12year history, this annual event has raised close to $225,000 in support of advanced education for local women, as well as literacy and other educational ini-

tiatives in local schools and libraries. It's time to mark your calendar and tell your friends: this year's house tour will be on Dec. 1 and 2 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. The community of Lanark will share the spotlight with Perth in this year's outstanding lineup of houses. Just a short 15- to 20-minute hop north, the former village was first settled in 1820 by Scottish immigrants who named it after the town of Lanark in Scotland. Its prosperous lumbering and textile industries left a fine heritage of stone and timber houses now neighboured by some quite spectacular newer builds. Our ticket-holders will experience the architectural diversity and picturesque setting of four Lanark area homes and may choose to linger awhile to explore new

ground. Three families in Perth are also proudly opening their doors for the tour, conveniently near the amenities of restaurants, accommodation, shopping, antiquing and all else that this renowned heritage town has to offer. Strategically situated between Perth and the Lanark ends of the tour is the eighth house, an impressive squared-log home lovingly constructed of local white pine. For more details, keep an eye on the CFUW Perth & District website (cfuwperthanddistrict.wordpress.com/2018-housetour/) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ CFUWPerthON/). House tour tickets are $30 again this year, available as of Oct. 20 by phone from Isabel at 613-326-0437, online through Tickets Please (www.ticketsplease.ca) or locally at The Blossom Shop in Carleton Place or Crush Marketplace in Almonte.

Submitted/AGH The winning ticket was drawn in the Car or Ca$h for Health Care Raffle at the Almonte Civitan Hall on Oct. 5. Jordan Waito of Kanata has the choice of a 1967 Pontiac Firebird or $30,000 in cash. The raffle benefitted the Carleton Place and Almonte hospital foundations.

were in the draw for the joint fundraiser that benefitted both the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation and the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation. Waito has a choice to take the 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible or $30,000 cash. Keith Bean, owner and president of Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC in Carleton Place, donated the winning prize and was the one that drew the winning ticket. "My dad and I bought the tickets at the Capital Classic Car Show in July at Wesley Clover Park," said a surprised but extremely excited Waito, who along with his father Jeff, came out to the Almonte Civitan Hall after being phoned and told he'd won the grand prize.

"I had a 1967 Firebird," said Jeff, "and that's why we had to buy tickets that day." "I'm so happy how this turned out," said Bean. "We were able to more than double the money going to these two local hospitals which was what I had hoped would happen. For our first year, it all came together well and so much of that was the wonderful volunteers that helped sell

April 6. Because the prize car was donated by Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC, all of the more than $100,000 generated, minus licensing fees, advertising costs etc., will be split evenly by the two hospital foundations. Dozens of volunteers sold tickets at local car shows, cruise nights, community and regional events, fairs and at Scotiabank in Carleton Place. Tickets were also sold by volunteers at the Almonte Hospital Gift Shop, by staff and volunteers at both hospital foundations and by staff at Beans in Carleton Place.
