house fully involved. The blaze spewed smoke visible for several kilometres. Fire chief Bill McGonegal told the Canadian Gazette 19 men were on the scene. It was a defensive operation, with firefighters working to prevent the blaze from spreading to other structures on the property. "We saved two barns on the property," McGonegal said. "One of the barns started to burn but was quickly extinguished." Inside the barns: goats, donkeys, pigs, sheep and more. McGonegal confirmed the family's two dogs and cat died inside the home. Mutual aid in the form of a tanker was received from Montague and Mississippi Mills fire departments. Both OPP and Lanark County Paramedic Ser-
vice were also present. "We had everything under control around 3:30 p.m.," McGonegal said, and "we remained on the scene until 8:30 p.m. There were no injuries. Ken and his partner Kelly Deugo operate Countryside Petting Farm, a mobile petting farm. The couple has two children. "Luckily the fire department was able to contain the fire to the house, saving the barns," Ken said. "All of the animals in the barns were unharmed." "We have water and hydro hooked up in the barns so the animals will not need to be moved," he added. Ken's brother, Dan Henry, started a GoFundMe page (www.gofundme.com/christmashouse-fire-tragedy) for the family. With a goal of $5,000, an outstanding $14,155 has already been

"With the holidays right around the corner it makes this very tough time even more tough," Dan noted. Presents purchased for the two children were all lost in the fire, along with everyone's personal belongings. "We are all getting through," Ken told this
newspaper. "No injuries to anyone ... as terrible as it is we are counting our blessings." "At the current time we still do not know what we need," he said. "Many people have donated clothes and other items, which is a huge help." "Great neighbours!" Ken added. "Great friends and family!"

MISSISSIPPI MILLS PUTS WHEELS IN MOTION TO REZONE DON MAYNARD PARK ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com It may be a longer process than they'd like, but Mississippi Mills council is has put the wheels in motion to reverse the zoning of Almonte's Don Maynard Park. Acting chief administrative officer Shawna Stone provided a verbal update to council at its Dec. 18 meeting after receiving guidance from the municipality's solicitor. "It's the recommendation that because it's a new council and this is your first time dealing with the potential rezoning of Don Maynard Park, that you treat it as a new application," she explained. Council wasted no time in making a decision, unanimously voting to reverse the park's zoning. "I don't think it's expensive, it just takes time and we're getting what we want and that's what this is all about," Deputy Mayor John Levi remarked. "You can't push some things." Coun. Denzil Ferguson wondered what a new application would entail and planner Niki Dwyer noted that it would be the same process as changing a land use designation and requires an application under Section 34 of the Planning Act.
"That application comes with the onus on the municipality to undertake a public consultation process, there's notification procedures leading up to the consultation process, then you actually have to a technical planning review ... to justify why the decision you're making is consistent and concurrent with the Provincial Policy Statement and your own Official Plan as well as the county Official Plan." Once the application is approved at the local level, it goes on to the county for endorsement and Dwyer indicated "there's a bit of redundancy" as they have to undertake a similar process. "And then the final decision could be susceptible to an appeal with the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal in both cases, within 20 days of the decision being made," she said. Dwyer said the Don Maynard Park situation is a bit different given that there is an appeal on the previous council's zoning decision in March 2017, to LPAT. A case management conference is scheduled for Feb. 21. "The file has not had a final decision made," Dwyer pointed out. "As soon as an appeal comes in, the application in essence is suspended and no decision is made until, in this case, we're still working under the old OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) rules, a
decision is made by the board. If LPAT overturns the decision of the previous council, it becomes final. "If council elects to continue with the OMB/LPAT process at this point, there will be legal expenses incurred therein, but it would get us a final decision issued by the board," Dwyer stated. Coun. Bev Holmes wondered how long the process would take and if it would prove costly to the municipality. Dwyer said the application would be done on staff time and resources, so there would be no consulting fees associated, but she advised it would take approximately 60 to 90 days for final approval at the local level. "Once you get to the county, that's a whole other can of worms," she commented. "I can't give you a definitive timeline on how long that's going to take and then again, if the decision was to be appealed, which there is opportunity for, then it would end up back at LPAT and we would be incurring legal fees again." "Can I just request that we do this as quickly as possible?" said Coun. John Dalgity. "Absolutely," answered Mayor Christa Lowry. Don Maynard Park, located within the Gale Street subdivision, was dedicated to late recreation and community leader, Don Maynard, in 2003. It has frontage on Gale Street but back in March 2017, the thencouncil made the decision to change up its footprint to allow for the creation of five lots with street frontage.

IS THERE HELP OUT THERE? A HAND UP FOR THOSE IN NEED DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com
THE ISSUE: FOOD INSECURITY IN OTTAWA VALLEY LOCAL IMPACT: PEOPLE TAKE TAKE ACTION OF EMPOWERMENT
This is the final piece of a four-part series exploring the different aspects of poverty in the Ottawa Valley from the struggles people face to make ends meet to the services that are available to help them across the region.
insideottawavalley.com
How can we help? Many hands make light work, and there are many helping hands out there to offer those who are struggling financially with a hand up and, if necessary, a hand out, depending on the need. The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, for example, is known in the community for its initial birth as a food bank, but it has become so much more than that over the years. "The advocacy office, the meal programs, community kitchen programs, the garden ... and also the community action network and training, which gives people a way to make change in the community," all operate under the roof, said Ramsey Hart, who is The Table's executive director. "It's one part empowering. People need to take action in their lives," said Hart. He pointed to The Table's cooking program, which "help people make better choices for (their) health, and the food that they are making." Part of the advocacy they promote is not always necessarily grassroots political action, but self-advocacy as well. Hart pointed to a recent case at The Table where their doctor had advised a senior client that he would have to be referred to a neurologist in Kingston, and that it would take many months to see this doctor. The Table's advocacy staff advised the senior to return to his doctor and ask again, if there was another, more expedient

Lo and behold, by asking, a better way was found and the senior was told that he could see an Ottawa-based neurologist the next week. This is part of what Hart says is The Table promoting "communication skills and self-confidence," not just medically, but also through landlord and tenant issues, which is "a big issue for the advocacy office." Cornerstone Landing started in late 2012, and "it's hard for us to believe it has been that long," said executive director Terrilee Kelford. They ended up helping seven homeless kids in the first 13 months of operation across Lanark County, starting in December of 2012. In the second year, after a grant allowed them to expand beyond Perth's borders, to cover the entire county, they helped 21 kids in need. By 2017, they were
helping 82 kids. Cornerstone has a housing caseworker, who helps young people with: . Education enrolment; . Getting identification; . Opening bank accounts; . Dealing with landlord and tenant issues, and renting accommodation; and, . Getting furnishings for accommodations. "Most of the time, it is rent supplements," said Kelford. "Housing is unaffordable for kids on Ontario Works," or other social assistance. She commended the local Catholic Women's League for supplying hygiene kits to Cornerstone, because now "we have stuff to give them (youth), instead of having to put a call out," she said. Another organization
with a long history of offering help is the Salvation Army, whose MississippiRideau Lakes Corps is based in Smiths Falls. Well perhaps best known for their annual Christmas hampers and kettle campaigns, they help the poor year-round. They offer assistance with utilities, rent, emergency clothing and furniture, disaster assistance, and even an Adventure Camp for Kids. The "Sally Ann" can also be contacted at 613-283-3563, as it (along with The Table) is an agent for LEAP (Low-Income Energy Assistance Program) for help with Hydro One and/or Enbridge gas. The Salvation Army also offers food bank services, which can be accessed bimonthly. This concludes our four-part series on poverty in the Ottawa Valley.

CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGES ALGONQUIN TERRITORY Carleton Place council commenced its Dec. 18 meeting with a land acknowledgement - for the first time ever. "I thought it appropriate to start the new four-year term," Mayor Doug Black told the Canadian Gazette. A land acknowledgement is a formal statement recognizing the unique and lasting relationship existing between Indigenous people and their traditional territory. Prior to European arrivals, the Algonquin inhabited the area. Debby Lytle, a member of Lanark County Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation and Lanark Drum, read the land acknowledgement. She said: "As we gather here today, let us be reminded that the community in which we live, work and play is situated on traditional, unceded Algonquin First Nation territory. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Anishinaabe and express our respect and support for their rich history and culture." Afterward, Lytle thanked council, and she

Submitted/Lanark County Volunteer Training Session held on Nov. 26.
BR+E PROJECT SEEKS EAGER BUSINESSES TO PARTICIPATE The response to a call for volunteers to conduct face-toface surveys with a variety of businesses across Lanark County has been overwhelming. Lanark County, in partnership with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC), is delivering the Business Retention and Expansion Project, which aims to support and strengthen local businesses across Lanark County. It is an action-oriented, communitybased and volunteer-driven process that includes confidential face-to-face interviews/ surveys by volunteers with businesses to address any issues and opportunities for that business, as well as data collection and action planning. "More than 80 trained volunteer visitors have stepped up to the plate to do the surveys, and this response really shows how much the community cares about local business," says Stacie Lloyd, economic development officer with Valley Heartland CFDC. The volunteer visitors come from all walks of life. From retirees looking for a new experience, business service providers, local chamber and BIA members, to business owners who want to support each other, the spirit of working together to support local business is incredibly strong. Benefits to your business
agreeing to a visit include helping Lanark County and local municipalities better understand your business needs and priorities; connecting your business to resources and support programs available; identifying and addressing immediate business concerns and issues that may need attention; and collecting key business and market data through the survey to support economic development planning that directly supports the business community. "Businesses will be able to share information by completing the survey, have any issues or opportunities heard and will be contributing to the development of future projects, programs and priorities that support business across Lanark County," Lloyd explains. "Results of the survey will help Lanark County set priorities and actions that respond to the needs of local business both now and into the future," added Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. Selection has started, so if you are a business in Lanark County that would like to participate by agreeing to an interview/survey, don't miss out. Contact Teri Devine at 613283-7002 ext. 111, 613-207-5940 or by email at bre@valleycfdc.com. More information is available at www.valleycfdc.com/ bre.
LOCAL SINGLE MOM WINS $4,000 TRAVEL VOUCHER LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Renee Champagne is heading south for a vacation - the Caribbean to be exact. The Carleton Place single mother received a phone call Friday morning from Brian Foot telling her she'd just won a $4,000 travel voucher. Foot is the president of Community Living Association Lanark County (CLALC) and he had Perth Mayor John Fenik make the draw from a bucket filled with hundreds of other tickets Friday morning, Dec. 14, at the Community Living Association building in Perth. "We just did the draw two minutes ago," Foot confirmed. "I cannot believe this. I am so happy. You just made my day," Champagne said. "I want to go to the Caribbean with my kids. And I'm a single mom, so this is amaz-
ing." The Community Living Association supports people with intellectual disabilities and helps them to live with dignity and respect in their communities. The board's Good Neighbour Fund directly helps those people in the community with varied abilities. For example, the funds could be used help them to purchase clothing for job hunting. "The money goes toward our Good Neighbour Fund, which is similar to Make-AWish, only on a smaller scale for individuals with intellectual disabilities to be able to participate in things they wouldn't otherwise be able to do," Foot ex-
plained. The fund can also help cover rent, legal funds, or for additional seminars and educational opportunities. It also provides opportunities for special group outings, like going to a summer cottage, or on a vacation. CLALC serves individuals with intellectual disabilities throughout the county, including Perth, Smiths Falls, Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place. Heritage Travel and Tours in Perth provided the travel voucher. Champagne can take a trip "anywhere in the world," Foot said. "We'll have the voucher made up for you as soon as possible."

YEAR AHEAD HOLDS CHALLENGES, PROMISE As we approach 2019, it's with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. We survived 2018 with its extreme climatic events, economic upheavals and political shenanigans, so we should be able to weather whatever 2019 sends our way. Who could have predicted when Jan. 1, 2018, dawned that by year's end Doug Ford would be Ontario's premier, the federal Liberal government would own a major pipeline and Quebec's government would neither be Liberal nor Parti QuĂŠbĂŠcois. Or that hundreds of homes would be severely damaged in tornadoes, not in Oklahoma but in Calabogie, Dunrobin and Gatineau. So we march into a new year worried that tornadoes or other violent storms could be a reality again in summer 2019. Will we be properly prepared? Programs are being cut, as municipal governments, school boards and hospital administrations face funding uncertainty with a provincial government headed by a volatile leader bent on slashing the budget, often in mysterious ways. On June 7, Ontarians made it clear what they thought of a government grown out-of-touch with public opinion and fiscal reality as it kept rewarding its cronies. As we roll through 2019, we can only hope that the more moderate, pragmatic members of the Progressive Conservative caucus exercise some restraint on their colourful leader when he strays too far from the mainstream. That will be more likely if the public speaks out loud and clear when it encounters government decisions it doesn't like. However, it's likely the public will be distracted by federal matters in 2019; the main parties have already started to campaign for an election less than 10 months away. Brace yourselves: expect the political verbiage to grow in intensity as we approach Oct. 21. Speaking of politics, with so many changes in municipal leadership around the region, constituents should cut the newcomers some slack as they get accustomed to their roles. New mayors in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Lanark Highlands, Rideau Lakes, Merrickville and Kemptville need time to put their stamp on their communities. It's encouraging to have first-time mayors and councillors in place because they'll bring a fresh perspective to tackling the many challenges brought on by the austerity looming ahead. And it's this potential for thinking outside the box and for implementation of exciting cutting-edge technologies that will gift us with new efficiencies and solutions to overcome the many difficulties threatening our way of life in 2019. Happy New Year, everyone!

WHO WE ARE
LETTERS & COMMENTARY END OF THE TRAIL FOR CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS DEAR EDITOR:
Cross-country skiers have enjoyed Mississippi Valley Ski Club trails for more than 40 years. Seasonal access (December to March) was generously allowed by private landowners. The Mississippi Valley Ski Club (MVSC) arranged for liability insurance (through membership in Cross Country Canada) and managed trail maintenance. Unfortunately, the MVSC trail will not be available to skiers this season. The club is hopeful that, in future seasons, a collaborative effort by politicians, officials, landowners, recreation groups and interested individuals, will result in the development of a long-term, sustainable cross-country ski trail solution. MVSC asks that skiers recognize that all previous MVSC trails located on private land are now inaccessible. If you ski on them, you are trespassing. Please
don't do that. MVSC members will be gathering in the new year to brainstorm next steps. You can learn more by checking out the Mississippi Valley Ski Club on Facebook. If you would like to be added to the MVSC mailing list please send a note to the MVSC president at jb@jacobberkowitz.com.
DAVID SOMPPI, CARLETON PLACE
WHERE ARE THE INSECTS? DEAR EDITOR:
I was passed by an older pickup truck during one of my recent walks around Carleton Place. This thing sounded like it is capable of dragging Carleton Place Town Hall to Almonte in minutes with emissions as powerful. The odour and visible particles kicked-up made me gag. If the exhaust had a negative affect on me, I started wondering how much more damage this would cause smaller living creatures like birds and insects. This led me to wonder
when the last was that I had to clean smashed bugs off my car windshield. It must have been more than eight years ago, about the same time I felt that there was no more need for the motorcycle windshield. Insects are a vital and necessary part of life and its continuation, without them the planet will be altered in unknowable negative ways. Because their numbers are legion, inconspicuous and hard to track, their demise so far has been more felt than measured. This in itself is worrisome. Numerous species from Monarch butterflies to the rustypatched bumblebee's numbers has declined by about 87 per cent over the past 20 years. Not having to wear goggles and keeping one's mouth shut during a summer bicycle ride and not getting bitten by blackflies and mosquitoes is not worth anywhere near the necessary benefits of legions of these and other insects.

INTERVAL HOUSE UPDATES NEW CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL ON ACTIVITIES TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) provided an update to Carleton Place council during the Dec. 18 committee of the whole (COW) meeting. Coun. Theresa Fritz chaired the gathering, and she will oversee the meetings until May 31. It was LCIH executive director Erin Lee's first time speaking to the new council, which was sworn in on Dec. 4. LCIH, based in Carleton Place, has been in the community for almost 40 years. The organization believes a woman and her children have the right to live with dignity and without the threat of abuse. "When this right is denied or interfered with, we will provide protection and support," Lee said. LCIH is the only shelter and community support serving the region, which has in the neighbourhood of 66,000 people. "About 51 per cent of the community currently identifies as female," Lee noted. "When you think about the people who access our services there are many." On average LCIH responds to over 2,000 crisis calls per year, and 93 per cent of these calls are from Lanark County. In terms of outreach ser-
vices, LCIH sees 400 families a year. "These are people living in the community ... people who have not decided to access the shelter," Lee said. In terms of shelter support, LCIH sees about 107 families comes through its doors each year. "We have 15 beds, and our occupancy rate is generally 100 per cent - sometimes over," Lee said. "This past summer we had 14 children in the shelter with eight moms." LCIH's approach to service is simple: they advocate, they educate, they believe in strong partnerships and political voices, as well as having relationship with local politicians (all levels). Lee highlighted some of the challenges affecting services to Lanark County's rural victims of violence. "Isolation," she said. "If you call 911, sometimes it will take 40-plus minutes for a vehicle to get there." Moreover, Lee noted: "There is a lack of public and personal transportation, and there is farm and animal care to consider." Weapons are more readily available. "We know 30 per cent of women who live in a rural community are more likely to be threatened by a rifle," Lee pointed out. There are also communication issues ... no cell service
in some areas. Too, "there is a lack of community resources ... we are the only violence against women dedicated agency in Lanark County," Lee stressed. LCIH offers a shelter program and shelter children's program, as well as a transitional support program, which helps victims of violence transition back into the community. In addition to public education and family court support, LCIH launched second stage housing recently. The building with four units, also located in Carleton Place, is currently full, and there is a waiting list. Mills Community Support Corporation in Almonte launched a 12-unit building on Dec. 1 with two apartments designated for victims of domestic violence and another geared toward homelessness, and the rest are for individuals with complex needs. "Mills Community Support Corporation runs and owns the units; however, we are the partnering agency, responsible for the referrals," Lee recently told the Canadian Gazette. This is permanent housing, and the units are full." LCIH collaborates with everyone in the community people, businesses, politician bodies and other organizations, doing its best. "You help us!" Lee told council. She mentioned Carleton Place has an opportunity to support a free 40th anniversary legacy art project installation in town. The Countdown Public Art Project honours survivors of sexual violence.

During this time, they will talk about the importance of the project as well as its design. On the final day, everyone (all genders) is invited to put stones in the piece. "The artists will take it away, returning in May to install it," Lee said. "For us as a community, given number of women and children murdered in the
province, given the number of sex assaults, and given what we know ... this is an important," she stressed. Joining Lee on Tuesday night was LCIH public education co-ordinator Brianne Luckasavitch. After Lee's presentation, staff members were directed by council to write a report on LCIH's request for an art installation piece, which will be discussed at a future meeting.

"We (Lanark County) were selected as one of four places in Ontario to receive a public art installation," Lee said. "We talked to our staff and board, as well as survivors, and they said they wanted it to be located in Carleton Place because of the roots and history of the shelter," she continued. "Survivors wanted it to be public, and the artists agreed." "We had three sites identified; however, I am here tonight to tell you we would really like council to consider having it behind town hall," Lee added. "We want to listen to the women in our community." The art project measures four feet by five feet. The green space behind the town hall is the location of LCIH's annual Take Back the Night event. It is peaceful and situated next to the Mississippi River. Too, it is public and accessible. The artists will visit Carle-

FABRIC SALE FUNDRAISER FOR TEXTILE MUSEUM SURPASSES EXPECTATIONS The holiday season came early for the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM). The MVTM is pleased to announce that Darrell Thomas Textiles of Ottawa - the year-long fabric sale surpassed all expectations by raising just under $3,000 to support the operations of the MVTM, while also marketing the museum to the Ottawa area.
Also, Fashion Blooms was held at the Almonte Agricultural Hall on Sunday, Sept. 30, raising $2,000. The chic runway setting paired with fashions ranging from theatrical to classic lent much flair to the event. Darrell Graham of Darrell Thomas Textiles - the high end Ottawa textile firm which also had a booth a FibreFest - broke out some highly
original and classic designers for the fashion show. Event organizer Sarah Montgomery, a MVTM board member, and a superb team of volunteers circulated with nibbles and sold hot and cold drinks at intermission.

MEET CPDMH'S NEW INTERNISTS Dr. Natalie Keses and Dr. Jason Kiser have a few things in common. They both love the Ottawa Valley. And they both like to solve problems. Dr. Keses and Dr. Kiser are Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital's (CPDMH) two new internists and will lead a weekly outpatient clinic that will serve patients in Carleton Place, Almonte and other surrounding communities. They will also provide in-patient consultations at CPDMH. Patients are referred to an Internist by their family physician for assessment of symptoms that are not yet diagnosed. Sometimes there are multiple medical issues to be addressed. "The symptoms may involve cardiac, respiratory or other multiple issues that need to be managed," explained Keses. "We need to consider multiple medical issues all at one time and how they are inter-related." "We like to work with each patient to come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan," added Kiser. As one part of the clinic, the physicians supervise treadmill tests, the first basic diagnostic report related to coronary artery disease. They will also read the ECG reports for the hospital. Keses and Kiser also work at Queensway Carleton Hospital and say they are pleased to be following in Dr. Bryan Smith's footsteps in Carleton Place. "I knew Dr. Smith when I started my career at Queensway Carleton Hospital and I even did an elective with him," said Keses. "When he was getting ready to retire, he wanted to ensure the service continued in Carleton Place and I'm excited about the opportunity." Kiser agreed. "I was very interested in doing a clinic in Carleton Place because I've heard great things. The nursing staff in the clinic are outstanding. It's a friendly place."

OPINION
EUROPE'S MARKETS ARE A MUST-SEE FOR VISITORS IMPRESSIVE SELECTION OF COMMODITIES, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES
soared in popularity. In Ontario it seems most communities of any size have a weekend market. There's a good one in Carleton Place where we live. The upswing in seasonal markets has breathed new life into Ontario's (and Canada's) flagging agriculture industry. Markets provide a vital sales and marketing opportunity for farmers and others with smaller operations. People who wish to join forces with producers of foodstuffs and various other commodities under one roof, or at one outdoor site. The variety of goods available is what brings customers back week after
JEFF MAGUIRE Column
My wife and I enjoy visiting markets. All kinds of markets - farmers' markets, craft markets, antique markets, flea markets and supermarkets. In recent times seasonal farmers' markets have
week. Unfortunately Canada's weather limits the length of the season in most communities although that is not true of our biggest cities of course. Still, all things considered it is the markets of Europe which impress Kathleen and me the most. Whatever city or town we tour the local market is a must-see for us. We have been fortunate to visit so many in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, The Netherlands, Germany and, most recently, the delightful market in the heart of Basel, Switzerland. To us a visit to London, one of our favourite places in the world, is not complete unless we call at one or more of the British capital's fabulous markets. Our favourite food market in the city is Borough
Market. It's located on the south bank of the River Thames in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral. We are also frequent visitors to Portobello Road Market in London's trendy Notting Hill district. It's among the best known markets in the world and little wonder. If it isn't available on the Portobello Road then it isn't available! In Germany, where we were in October, it seems that Wednesday and Saturday are the usual market days. That is certainly true of the small, but busy market in the picture perfect town of Gengenbach, our usual headquarters in the Black Forest region of southwest Germany. The array of food available in Gengenbach market, located in front of the Rathaus (Town Hall) in the centre of the old town, is incredible.
We were also in Munich during Oktoberfest, something I wrote about earlier. While visiting the Bavarian capital we made a point of touring the city's excellent market. Comprised of outdoor stalls mixed with allweather structures, Munich market is one of the best food set-ups we have seen although the indoor market in Cork on Ireland's south coast is comparable in my opinion. The Munich market featured a tantalizing and beautifully presented selection of fruits and vegetables along with copious amounts of nuts (still in the shell) and what the German's call 'Pfifferlinge' which we know as Chanterelle. That's an edible, trumpet-shaped mushroom. Another thing which stands out in my mind about Munich market was the
sight of men standing at food booths drinking beer at 10 a.m. in the morning. A little early in the day for me but not unusual in Germany, especially during Oktoberfest! It is just after Christmas but something Kathy and I hope to do sometime soon is visit the much-touted Christmas markets in Europe and especially those in Germany. The German Christmas markets have operated successfully for centuries. We would like to take part in this annual tradition at least once in our lives.

chief administrative officer)," Rogers stated. "Our time together has been very short, and she has been a true professional," he added. Rogers is a true professional himself. Earlier this month he sent a thank you email to the Canadian Gazette, impressed with the newspaper's honesty and professional approach. Rogers wished Smithson and her staff all the best going forward. Furthermore, he wished council members the very best, telling them he is impressed with what he has seen so far. The 130th council of Carleton Place took the oath of office on Dec. 4. "I know you have challenges ahead, but you will do well," Rogers said. The longtime clerk and Mayor Doug Black have known each other since public school, and he and Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond have the Boy Scouts in common. "To this day, I carry the Boy Scout motto in my wallet," Rog-
ers said. Black told this newspaper it has been "an absolute pleasure knowing Duncan." "His professionalism in front of our residents has served the community so well during his long career," the mayor continued. "We wish Duncan the best, and we will make sure he remains in a volunteer role of his choosing going forward." "In some way I feel like I am following in my father's footsteps," Rogers told everyone. The clerk brought his own son to the inauguration of the new council, "wanting him to see it." "Thank you for the honour of addressing you tonight," Rogers concluded. Council, as well as members of the public and media gave Rogers a standing ovation.

Driving under the influence puts lives at risk
The dangers associated with impaired driving are well known. Nevertheless, every holiday season, countless drivers get behind the wheel either exhausted or under the influence of alcohol, medication or illicit drugs, putting the lives of others at risk as well as their own.

Are you planning on hitting the bar at your holiday shindig? There’s nothing wrong with having fun, as long as you don’t get behind the wheel afterward! Public transportation, taxis, designated drivers — there are many ways to get home safe and sound without driving your personal vehicle. Other sensible solutions include staying the night or renting a room at a nearby hotel.
BEWARE!
Like extreme fatigue, alcohol, illegal drugs, and medication affect a person’s cognitive functions and compromise their ability to drive. In addition to clouding one’s judgment, these substances impair a person’s concentration, coordination and reaction time.

Dispensing with myths Even today, many false beliefs about impaired driving continue to circulate. It’s about time we unveil the truth behind these misconceptions! •
I ate after I drank; therefore, it’s safe to get behind the wheel. Actually, eating after a night of drinking changes absolutely nothing, as the alcohol has already entered your bloodstream. And since the effects of alcohol won’t disappear with a little food in your tummy, it’s definitely not safe to drive!

Going prolonged periods of time without sleep (more than 17 consecutive hours) is equivalent to drinking several alcoholic beverages. That’s why it’s strongly recommended to avoid driving when sleep-deprived.

of prescription and over-the-counter medication can significantly compromise a person’s ability to drive. Their various side effects (drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, reduced concentration, etc.) can be just as dangerous behind the wheel as those of certain illegal substances. •
Men have a higher alcohol tolerance than women. A person’s sex doesn’t necessarily influence their tolerance level. However, things like body weight, fatigue, medication and metabolism do.
•
Police officers can’t tell when someone is under the influence of drugs. False! Police officers are specially trained to evaluate someone’s ability to drive in different ways — by administering a physical coordination test, for example. Furthermore, a driver can be brought in for further evaluation by a drug recognition expert at the local station.

There’s no fool proof way to remove alcohol from your system. Taking a cold shower or drinking black coffee will not lower your blood alcohol content. Your body needs time to break down the alcohol naturally — it’s the only way!

One such mother and her friends have turned the experience into a project designed to keep her daughter Nora's memory alive and make people smile in the process.

This kind of loss ranges from miscarriage and pregnancy loss all the way up to infant loss, neonatal death, which is what happened to Nora.

About 65 unicorns are hidden in Renfrew, she noted. "Unicorns are all around the valley - Carleton Place, Perth, Smiths Falls, Tweed, Belleville, Stittsville and as a Renfrew native I couldn't skip it." More than 560 ornaments have been created. Look for them in public spaces, hanging on trees and in other nooks and crannies. "Lots of love went into these ornaments," said Hardy. "Nora's mom loves seeing the pictures posted." All organizers ask is that those who discover
and take the ornaments share their experience. "We're hoping to bring a smile to people's faces in honour of Nora," says the Facebook page. "If you find one of these ornaments, kindly share it with us, and use the hashtag #thenoraleighproject. We would love to see how pretty they look in your tree!" The Nora Leigh project has helped Nicholas stay busy while keeping her daughter's memory front and centre. The statistic of one in four shocked the grieving mom and she discovered an online community of women who had been through the same thing. Embroidered bracelets and a significant presence (top fundraisers and a team of more than 50) at this year's Butterfly Run helped ease the pain a bit (the Butterfly Run is held in October, pregnancy and infant loss awareness

The initiative was created by Perth's Emily Nicholas in memory of her daughter Nora. Ornaments have been hidden in and around Ottawa Valley towns in the hopes of bringing smiles to people's faces and raising awareness for the cause. month, and raises funds for Roger Neilson House). The ornaments are a way of continuing the project. But why unicorns? "I had just decorated
Nora's nursery with unicorns - it was the stuffed animal we got, we had bought clothes with unicorns," said Nicholas. "When she passed I started
doing research and what women do to cope and a lot of women had chosen animals to associate with their babies. I thought the unicorn is really impor-
tant to me and it reminded me of her." Since her friends, including Hardy, knew Christmas would be a hard time for her, the ornament initiative was perfect. "Even if people didn't know what the Nora Leigh project was, it would just a bring a smile to people's faces," said Nicholas. "And Nora knows up there." Just creating the ornaments has in itself been a labour of love. "We've literally cut the wood, painted them, glue gunned them," said Hardy. While Nicholas has no other children, Hardy's kids and those of her friends have been helping out. "They're the ones who have been doing a lot of the hiding," said Hardy.

SHERYL CROSS NAMED THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM'S VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR Sheryl Cross has been named the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP) volunteer of the year. Lovingly named 'The Hofbauer Award' this trophy goes annually to a volunteer who goes above and beyond for the program and its riders. "Sheryl does just that," said program co-ordinator Amy Booth. "Sheryl gives about 20 hours of her very valuable time each week: at the farm, in the
office and with fundraising events. She is dedicated, efficient and just about the nicest person you'd ever care to meet." Sheryl received her award at LCTRP volunteer night held in Perth on Nov. 21, where volunteers, parents and riders gathered to recognize the volunteers who contribute their time and expertise. The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program delivers a unique and holistic approach
to therapy, rehabilitation and recreation. It provides a safe environment in which to introduce physically and developmentally challenged children and adults to the healing benefits that horses can provide. The team that delivers the program consists of certified instructors and committed volunteers. "The folks who come out each day, rain or shine to support our more than 130 riders to achieve their goals are truly in-
spiring," said Booth. "We are glad to have had this opportunity to thank them all." Joining Sheryl as winners of therapeutic riding awards are: • Jen Cuddy, who earned the Brian Cole Memorial Award, in recognition of her love of horses and the riding program. • Sarah Tait received the Janette Cressy Remembrance Award, which recognizes a parent's contribution to the program.

It's the 33rd year for such a feat - and it's no small one. Some 650 children will receive a Christmas gift this season thanks to the generosity of the community, businesses, and municipalities alike. "We would like to thank all our Lanark County municipal offices and the Pakenham library who have hosted angel tress as far back as the late 1980s and early 1990s," said Const. Paige Whiting, who has been spearheading this toy drive for the past 15 years. "It's been another successful year," she said. For Const. Lori Lobinowich, community services officer at Lanark detach-
ment, her first year with the committee has been a great experience. "It's been wonderful to see the generosity of the community," she said. Town halls across the county were adorned with angel trees depicting a child's age and gender for the gift givers. Community partners who have joined in the giftgiving include Albany, Eaton, the Town of Perth, Lanark Couny administration, the Great War Memorial Hospital, Uniglass - all of Perth, Walmart, Rick's Glass Medic and Tinting, The Studio School of Dance in Carleton Place, and the OPP East Region Headquarters and the OPP communications centre in Smiths Falls. "These community partners broaden the dispersal of angels in the community, making the program a success," an OPP press release reads. Numerous hand-knitted items were also donated by the Montague Forget-MeNot Seniors Club, and Barnabe's Your Independent Grocer in Perth hosted a

Local elementary and high schools also participated, with students pooling their money in classes to purchase gifts for an angel. "The student participa-
tion is a welcome and overwhelming success," noted Whiting. Steve Orr, volunteer coordinator with Family and Children Services of Lanark Leeds Grenville (FCSLLG) said they will probably hear from even more families.
"We always get late requests from families and workers," he said. "So a lot of the places that the angels are put out, they always send us extra and we'll continue to get angel tree requests right up until Christmas. It's a fair number." Orr said they also get re-
quests from other agencies and people who know the organization as well. "Staff and I get phone calls from parents looking for help at Christmas." He said this year's collaboration has been phenomenal. "The community always responds. They are always looking for ways to help if they can and this is one way," he said. "There are lots of organizations that do this kind of stuff. You can imagine the effort the community does to try and help out if they can." Orr thanked the volunteers, who helped organize the gifts as they were brought back to Perth to be sorted for social workers and their assigned families. The police officers also offered a word of thanks and appreciation to Lanark County Crime Stoppers whose truck and trailer they used to pick up the gifts around the county whom they called "instrumental" in their success. "A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to retrieve an angel and purchase a gift."

Your beautiful music lives on in our hearts May you rest in peace, until we meet again Love Charlotte and family
McPARLAND, Della - In loving memory of our Mom and Grandmother who passed away 10 years ago on December 27, 2008. If we could send a dove to heaven, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things. Inside would be a million kisses, Wrapped up in a million hugs. To say how much we miss you, And to send you all our love. Sadly missed and much loved Rose, Wayne and family

OPINION
MOTHER SETTLED ANNUAL DEBATE OVER CHRISTMAS DINNER MEAL FEATURED GOOSE FOR FATHER, TURKEY FOR EVERYONE ELSE, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
It was after Christmas, and Father was still talking about the goose Mother cooked for dinner. Father said the Haneman household had been eating goose for Christmas for three generations, and he saw no reason to change
now. Mother favoured turkey. She reminded Father he also had his way the year before, and he was the only one who had second helpings. And he was lucky to have it again. Last year we all had to eat goose because there was no other meat cooked for Christmas dinner. Mother said the only way to keep everyone happy was to cook both. So, on Christmas Eve that year, two roast pans sat on the bake table ready to be put into the oven before we went to bed. Mother had cut a whole loaf of bread lengthwise and put it under the goose, because the grease from the bird would be ample, and when the roasting was finished, the soggy bread was fed to the
pigs. The turkey, stuffed with raisin and sage dressing, would produce just enough drippings to make the gravy we all loved. By morning that year, the goose was cooked, but the turkey would stay in the oven until we got home from church. I remembered Father couldn't resist pulling off a piece of crisp goose skin as we headed out the door. It was she decided we would invite old Herman for Christmas dinner. The old bachelor lived alone, didn't know what a bath was, and wore his clothes until they were hanging in rags. So old Herman came for Christmas dinner that year, and he actually shaved, and knew enough to take his hat off at the
back door. When Mother put the goose and the turkey on big platters in the centre of the table, old Herman slapped his forehead with his opened hand, and declared he hadn't had goose since his Mother passed away. Well, did old Herman enjoy that goose! He never touched the turkey, eating right along with Father who was delighted that someone besides him liked goose. When Herman - who could hardly walk to the back door he was so full was ready to leave, Mother took most of the leftover goose, piled it high on a tin pie plate, and off old Herman went, leaving a scant amount of goose for Father to polish off.
Well, here it was Christmas again, and to keep Father happy, another goose was cooked right along with the turkey. But there would be no visit from old Herman, who was laid up with something or other. My sister Audrey groaned that it looked very much like we would be having leftover goose until nothing was left but the bones. Well, the minister, on Christmas Day must have preached the same sermon he did last year, because Mother was all for sharing, and she said the goose was a good place to start. She just about cleaned off the platter, piling it on a big pie plate, cut an apple pie in two, broke off six sticky buns, wrapped up
the lot, and sent Everett over to old Herman's with strict orders to just hand it in the door and leave. It looked like we would always be having goose right along with a turkey every Christmas. Father was happy, the rest of the family was happy, and down the Northcote Side road, away in the bush lived old Herman, who I was pretty sure would be getting a yearly helping of roasted goose, making him pretty happy too. Mary is a longtime writer with several books in print and in electronic copies. 'Mary Cook's Memories' appears as a regular column. She can be reached at wick2@sympatico.ca

2019
The Canadian Gazette in conjunction with the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be producing the Mississippi Mills & District Visitor Guide for 2019.
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!
