DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Olympic skier Olivier Rochon knows a world-class event when he sees one, and he has seen Kemptville's Neon Night come a long way. Based in Gatineau, Que., Rochon hit the slopes of Pyeongchang, South Korea at the Winter Olympics earlier this year in the freestyle ski aerials, but this past Saturday night, he returned after a hiatus of several years to the Neon Night two-and five-kilometre fun run fundraiser for childhood cancers at Riverside Park.

FUN RUN SMASHES RECORD, RAISES $100,000 Continued from page 1
to come back," said Rochon, after the first racers had disappeared into the darkness on Saturday, Sept. 22. He attended the first Neon Night five years ago, and "it's grown so much as an event. It's amazing! Every year it gets better and better." Overall, according to the fun run's Facebook page, about $100,000 was raised this past weekend, thanks in large part to the more than 900 participants (and 80 volunteers), including a large contingent of Olympic and other top athletes who joined Rochon, including: • Segun Makinde, part of Canada's 4x100-metre relay team, at the Olympic Games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and 2012 in London, England. • Sekou Kaba, part of the 110metre hurdles at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. • Farah Jacques, part of the Canadian 4x100 women's relay at the 2016 games in Rio. • Stephen Evans, a recordbreaking University of Ottawa athlete. Rochon promised that he
would try and return to Kemptville to take part in the neon dog walk fundraiser. (If Rochon is reading this and would like to get an early mark into his 2019 calendar, the next Neon Night event will be on Sept. 21 of next year.) Participants heard during the opening ceremonies that back in the late 1980s, the survival rate for childhood cancers was about 71 per cent - by 2018, that number has jumped to a 83 per cent survival rate, in part because "cancer is being detected earlier," said Carrie Smith of Kemptville Physiotherapy Centre. "This is the best year we have had with way more people preregistered than ever before. By being here tonight, you are helping to save a life." Also, by being present at Riverside Park, and running and walking through the darkened streets of Kemptville decked out in neon glow, organizer Brenda Burich said that "you are saying that kids with cancer are important." And by walking the walk, the participants were also saying to cancer: "These kids are ours, and leave them alone." In a release from the Canadian Cancer Society on Sept. 24, it was
revealed that this year's Neon Night Fun Run raised $100,000 for childhood cancer research, bringing the five-year total to $350,000. The event drew more than 950 from Kemptville, Ottawa and the surrounding areas. "We are blown away by the support from the community," remarked Christina Thompson, fundraising specialist for the Canadian Cancer Society. "Everyone's support is really making an impact. To give an example, one of our researchers has found a specific gene in the blood that does not respond well to chemotherapy treatment. If kids with this gene have chemo treatments, they can die. And now, with a simple test, the treatment can be changed to reduce the risk." "Our entire committee is so proud of this year's total," added Brenda Burich, event chair Neon Night for Childhood Cancer. "To have grown from $50,000 the first year to $100,000 year five is truly remarkable and a direct result of the people in our community and surrounding area, who are willing to support our event and get decked out in neon to make the night bright for our warriors."

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
3
PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com As the 2018 municipal elections get closer, North Grenville residents have a number of opportunities to get to know their candidates better before they cast their vote on Oct. 22. The first of four public meetings for the candidates, the mayoral candidates meeting, was held Sept. 20 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, hosted by the North Grenville Times and moderated by David Shanahan. The meeting drew an impressive turnout, filling the council chambers and proving North Grenville's interest in local politics. The four candidates; incumbent Mayor David Gordon, current councillor Jim Bertram, Nancy Peckford and Elwood Armour, discussed a total of six questions. The first question surrounded the municipality's purchase of the Kemptville Campus. "If you're going to be mayor, what are you going to do in order to rectify the situation where taxpayers find themselves waking up to a burdensome debt they
didn't know they were going to have to cover?" asked a member of the public. Bertram was the first to respond, explaining that the financial structuring that has been arranged for the Kemptville Campus Education and Community Hub will not cost taxpayers a penny, as it is self-funding. "Next year, it will have a surplus, and every year thereafter it's projected to have a surplus," he said. "There are other business activities and enterprises that will be coming into the college. This will not be a burden for you." "When it comes down to the financing, it will cost the taxpayers absolutely nothing," Gordon confirmed. "The way it's structured, in fact, the rents at this point in time are paying the freight." The second question from the public pertained to recreational activities for young families, and 'unstructured' play. The questioner identified Riverside Park as an asset, rich with potential for more kid-friendly activity, and said that with so much new development in town and young families moving to Kemptville, there needs to be a better plan.
Bertram was again first to offer a response, stating that as easy as it is to propose ideas, it's not as simple to go out and do them. "As the community plans these activities, we have to make sure we are not inappropriately competing with businesses which are active in our area," he said. "To look creatively and responsibly at some affordable recreational amenities, I would study the possibility of an indoor pool," Peckford said. Her statement was met with applause. "I'm not saying I would build a pool I'm not committed to a pool, but I'm committed to a conversation, because I swear to God, every second household I visit in this community is deeply interested in access to that sort of amenity." Peckford said she has looked at another community with a population of 24,000 that has brought in a pool with the YMCA, as North Grenville is anticipated to reach that size in the next five to ten years. Gordon stressed there are only 6,900 taxpayers in the municipality. "I just can't, in my heart of hearts, go out and spend millions of dollars at this point in time
when I know it would cost the taxpayers 14 or 15 per cent," he said. "It'll be eight years before we hit 25,000 (people). Slowly but surely, we'll add to our recreation." Armour noted when he ran for council during the last election, he had proposed a swimming pool, and learned about the costs in the process. "You're looking at anywhere from $10-15 million to put one of those things up," he said. He added that an indoor pool would require about 200,000 gallons of water nearly every week, and that since our water comes out of a well, the concept is not realistic. Instead, he proposed the idea of a wave pool. "These things will run 365 days a year, and it's completely recyclable water," he said. "You don't need to draw every two weeks, because the water volume is small." The third question asked why the municipality still does business the same way after 40 years. "I'm disappointed - nothing has changed," said the resident. "I hear a lot of talk about communication and making sure we're listening to the people, but what are you going to do to walk the talk?"
Armour began his response, which was cut off halfway through by a member of the public standing up and asking the moderator to control the length of time that the candidates had to speak. Another resident then shouted out, "We've only had discussion on three points and I've been here for two hours." Gordon was next to speak, agreeing with the questioner that things haven't really changed. "This province is on the brink of bankruptcy, so the chances of getting money for a lot of these initiatives is going to be further down the road, but I think, definitely, we should have a discussion and a vision on what our recreational needs are and how we should move forward." Peckford added that advisory committees are underutilized, and that she would work to invigorate them. She also proposed the idea of holding regular town hall meetings; a minimum of one in each hamlet annually, to improve the connection between the municipality and rural communities.

The community showed some big love to a local family last week. The Ambush Benefit Concert in support of local man Ryan Forbes battling stage 4 cancer was held in South Gower Park on Sept. 16, and a grand total of $39,039.60 was raised as a split fundraiser for Forbes and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). 100 per cent of the proceeds from the event was split equally, supporting each cause with $19, 546.80. The Forbes family bumped up the CHEO donation to an even $20,000, which was matched by W.O Stinson & Son Ltd., making the total donation $40,000 for the children's hospital. Stinson will also be matching all personal donations made to #DieselsArmy in September. #DieselsArmy is the movement in support of Forbes as he was recently diagnosed with appendiceal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis on July 19. He was given the nickname "Diesel" when he was younger and working at the Tallman Truck Centre. Forbes'

Research into breast cancer has shown that its origins include a variety of potential causes and risk factors. Although many of them are biological and non-preventable, some others can be eliminated, prevented or controlled by changing certain lifestyle habits.
You can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by changing some of your lifestyle habits.
Non-preventable causes The physical causes of breast cancer that have been identified are as follows: • Age (increased risk after the age of 50) • High breast density • A personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer • Genetic mutations associated with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes • Taking the postmenopausal hormones es trogen and progesterone • A history of benign breast disease (cysts, hyperplasia) • The early onset of menstruation or late onset of menopause
Preventable factors
On the other hand, some causes of breast cancer are closely related to personal lifestyle choices.

October proclaimed Fire Prevention Month October was proclaimed Fire Prevention Month in North Grenville, rather than the usual fire prevention week. Fire Chief John Okum said the theme of the month is, 'Look, listen, learn. Be aware - fire can happen anywhere.' "The National Fire Protection Association have reported from latest stats that if you have a reported fire in your home, you are more likely to die today than you were a few decades ago," Okum reported at the Sept. 17 committee fo the whole meeting. "To the fire service, this is very troubling information and statistics. This is why we must all collectively work together to positively change." In Ontario alone, there have been 70 recorded fire deaths already this year. "I therefore have directed the North Grenville Fire Service to place a greater emphasis on fire prevention week this year," said Okum. "As a result, I would like to promote a fire prevention theme for the entire month of October. And therefore, requesting council to proclaim October as fire prevention month in North Grenville." "That's certainly a startling statistic," said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. "Is that related to the materials that homes are built with, from twenty years passed to the materials being used today?" "Our homes are built better to engineering standards," replied Okum. "Unfortunately, under fire conditions, they don't hold up as well. Lightweight construction is a major contributing factor to early building collapse. Therefore, a lot of injury and fatality to firefighters." Okum explained that it's critical for the fire service to educate and train on this new type of building construction and be aware when fighting fires. Newer types of synthetics in our homes, such as polyurethane contained within furniture, burn faster and hotter, creating a faster travelling fire and allowing less time to evacuate. "This is the importance of having two exit routes planned for early evacuation," Okum concluded.

you already have. Bertram said the answer is larger than the BIA (business improvement area). "I would like to establish a group - a mayor's committee - to go into the history of our OP (Official Plan) and look at the provincial requirements to see what the potential trip-ups are that may be getting in the way of our business." "As a previous businessperson, I know what you're talking about," said Gordon. "You don't want another committee." He explained that it's not about the big corporations, but that small and medium-sized businesses create all the employment in North Grenville. "In small business, get together and tell the municipality what you want. That's the important thing." "I am a small business and have been for some time," said Armour. "I run a market farm. Any idea how many businesses are in the town of Kemptville versus the outside area? Well I'll tell ya - it's about two to one in the outside area versus the Kemptville town. We've got 24 equine operations outside of town. You don't have that many businesses on the bloody main street." Chair of the BIA, Deb Wilson, was sitting in front of Armour when he said this. "Don't tell me that," she said. "Ignorance is bliss, lady," he responded, before Wilson exited the council chambers. Armour continued with his response, stating that agricultural businesspeople outside Kemptville are excluded, and that there is no longer a market for the small farmer. At this point in the meeting, an audience member shouted aloud for the moderator's control, and the meeting proceeded to the next question, regarding local development and the relationship between developers and the municipality. "How do you plan to walk this always challenging ethical line between greasing the wheels of business and making sure you serve your community as best you can?" asked the resident. Gordon said that for any new subdivision built in North Grenville, the developer has to supply the infrastructure, and gave the example of the northwest

"If they don't want to play by the rules, they don't have to come to North Grenville," he said. "Some of our most respected local developers are feeling a level of frustration that is preventing them from pursuing other projects," said Peckford, "which means that out-of-town developers become more opportunistic in terms of building things here, not necessarily hiring, sourcing, or investing locally." She added that it's a good thing North Grenville has development charges, because the kind of development the community is seeing is met with significant infrastructure
needs. The final question discussed at the meeting asked the candidates what their plans would be to get rid of local garbage dumps once and for all. Gordon used Holland as an example to illustrate how he feels that garbage should be disposed of - incineration. "But believe it or not, we don't have enough garbage in Leeds and Grenville to operate an incinerator," he said. Peckford spoke about waste aversion, and looking at organic waste as a community in terms of composting without stressing fiscal resources, and managing waste in ways that are more responsible and efficient, and not just sending it to landfills.

Bertram reminded the room that he 'walked the talk' as councillor when he developed the Rural Summit and made it part of the municipality's strategic plan. He also spoke about how he defended the owners of Leslie Hall when the matter of the building being designated heritage was brought to council, as he knew that the owners of the building did not want it designated heritage. "When it came to election rights, and replacing a councillor years ago who had to leave, I argued that the last election should be used as a point of reference," Bertram said. "The battle was won later on because guess what's now part of our replacement policy? Now, if it's within six months of an election, one has to refer to the election results if a replacement has to be made." The next question came from Sherry Jordan, the spouse of Peter Vichos; a local honey producer and business owner in Kemptville. "How do each of you plan on supporting small businesses in the township of North Grenville?" she asked. "What's become very apparent to me is that we have a fledgling business improvement association," said Peckford. She added that the bread and butter of any small community is business retention and expansion; building on what

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

WHO WE ARE
LETTERS & COMMENTARY WELCOME TO FREEDOM 54 DEAR EDITOR: This is not a test; it is reality. This is not a lecture; this is my personal experience. Common logic would dictate that smoking is unhealthy. And I know quitting is extremely difficult for some people, but there are tools that w have used in our growth and development that can be utilize to conquer the demons of tobacco addiction. Just think about the time, effort and money we've invested in such things as relationships and other important milestones and events in our lives. How hard have you tried to walk, talk, ride a bicycle, graduate, get married, have children, raise a family, buy a vehicle or home? We have drive and ambition and we accomplish our goals and enjoy the fruits of our labour. With the support of
many, the strength of our willpower, the discipline and determination that we are capable of, escaping the clutches of nicotine dependency is possible. I am enjoying the benefits of being a nonsmoker right now. My life has started a new chapter and I'm living the good life ... welcome Freedom 54.
SHAWN BREEN SMITHS FALLS
FORD THREATENS NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE DEAR EDITOR: I could not bring myself to vote for a Doug Ford-led PC Party. I consoled myself that an Ontario premier does not have presidential powers.
I never imagined that my MP, Steve Clark, his cabinet colleagues and the entire caucus would meekly allow their trumped-up leader to abuse the highest law of the land to pursue a personal vendetta against Toronto municipal politicians. What happens now that Mr. Clark, the cabinet and caucus agree that having won election as an MPP, the leader of the largest party in the legislature is above the law? Imagine their outrage when a future Liberal or NDP premier invokes the Notwithstanding Clause to avoid respecting an inconvenient judicial decision. It's time for Mr. Clark to show some backbone and stand up for the rule of law.

Some residents of Merrickville may have noticed an unpleasant odour in the areas surrounding the Merrickville Wastewater Treatment Facility, which is operated by the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) on behalf of the vil-
lage. This odour has increased over the summer months due to the high heat and humidity we have experienced across most of Ontario. Please note that this odour is not a public health risk and will natu-
rally improve with cooler weather. The odour comes from part of the wastewater treatment process. To upgrade older infrastructure, a new facility was built in 2011 that features a unique sewage
treatment process called an ISAM (Integrated Surge Anoxic Mix). During this treatment solids (sludge) from the process are removed from the bottom of the primary tank and then further processed by adding air to the
sludge. It's this part of the process that unfortunately can lead to unpleasant odour - especially in hot, humid weather. For now, to alleviate some of the odour, staff will be transferring sludge late at night and aerating over-
night during cooler ambient temperatures. If you have any further questions, please contact OCWA staff at 613-269-3247. Submitted by the Village of Merrickville-Wolford

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland Left: Fries for Charity, a local charitable initiative, runs entirely on generosity. Everything from the potatoes and frying oil to the insurance on the company vehicle is donated in kind by their sponsors, and the stall is run completely by volunteers. Fries for Charity served their best at the Ambush Benefit Concert at South Gower Park on Sunday, Sept. 16 with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the cause. All funds from the event were split between CHEO and #DieselsArmy, in support of local man, Ryan Forbes.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?
You are eligible to vote in the election for municipal council if you meet all of the following requirements: • You are a Canadian citizen • You are aged 18 or older • You qualify to vote in the municipality There are three ways that you can qualify to vote in a municipality: • As a resident elector if you live in the municipality. You may own, rent, live in shared accommodation where you do not pay rent or live in the municipality but do not have a fixed address. Being a resident elector is the most common type of eligibility. • As a non-resident elector if you own or rent property in a municipality, but it’s not the one where you live. You can only be a resident elector in 1 municipality. However, you can be a non-resident elector in any other municipality (or municipalities) where you own or rent property.’
• As the spouse of a non-resident elector if your spouse owns or rents property in the municipality or municipalities other than the one where you live. • Neither you nor your spouse qualify as a non-resident elector if you do not personally own or rent the property in the municipality. For example, if the property is owned by your business or your cottage is owned by a trust, you would not qualify. There is a special rule for students who may be living away from home while they attend school. If you are a student and consider your “home” to be the place where you live when you are not attending school (i.e. you plan on returning there), then you are eligible to vote in both your “home” municipality and in the municipality where you currently live while attending school.

Voting day is Oct. 22. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing website (www. mah.gov.on.ca) provides a Voters’ Guide for the Ontario municipal council and school board elections. The following information is taken from that guide. TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK TO VOTE You are entitled to three hours in which to vote on voting day. This does not mean you can take three hours off work. It means you’re allowed to be absent to give yourself three hours of voting time. Typically this is at the start or end of your working hours. For example, voting hours are normally from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. If your working hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., you are entitled to leave one hour early so that you would have from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to vote. Your employer may decide when it would be most convenient for you to be absent in order to vote. For example, if you work from noon to 6 p.m., your employer may decide that you should come in at 1 p.m., rather than leave work at 5 p.m. VOTING FROM HOME Your municipality may provide opportunities for you to vote without having to go to a voting place: Municipalities may offer voting options such as vote by mail or vote by Internet. Municipalities are required to provide a voting place in certain retirement homes and long-term care facilities. Contact your clerk for more information about how you can vote in your municipality. VOTERS’ LIST AND IDENTIFICATION Your name must be on the voters’ list in order for you to cast a ballot. The voters’ list for each municipal election is prepared from data kept by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). ADDING YOUR NAME TO THE VOTERS’ LIST You can check to see if MPAC has your information in its database at www.voterlook-
up.ca. You can also call them at 1-866-296MPAC (6722) or TTY 1-877-889-MPAC (6722). The voters’ list becomes official as of Sept. 1. After Sept. 1, you must apply to your municipal clerk if you want to add your name to the list or correct your information. You have until the close of voting on October 22 to apply for any changes. If you are applying to add your name to the voters’ list, you will be asked to provide proof that you are eligible to vote. REMOVING A NAME FROM THE VOTERS’ LIST The voters’ list is a public document. If you do not want your name to appear on the voters’ list you can apply to the clerk to have your name removed. If you remove your name from the list, you will not be able to vote. You can also apply to the clerk to remove the name of someone who is deceased. You cannot ask for someone else’s name to be removed from the list for any other reason. SHOWING ID BEFORE VOTING When you arrive to vote in person you must show identification to prove that you are the person whose name appears on the voters’ list. The identification must show your name and address. Photo identification is not required. Examples of identification include: • Ontario driver’s licence • Ontario health card (if your name and address are printed on the card) • mortgage, lease or rental agreement • insurance policy • credit card statement • bill for hydro, water, gas, telephone, internet A Canadian passport is not an acceptable identification document because you write your address inside your passport yourself. For the full list of acceptable identification, visit www.mah.gov.on.ca. If your name is on the voters’ list and you do not have identification, you may fill out and sign a declaration that you are the person whose name appears on the list.

WELCOME TO NORTH GRENVILLE, A REFUGE FROM THE STORM COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER FOR THOSE WITHOUT POWER, DIANA FISHER WRITES DIANA FISHER Column
insideottawavalley.com
STIHLCanada
www.stihl.ca
Well, that was quite a weekend. A tornado touched down in the Ottawa area Friday night and some people suffered a great deal of damage to their homes and property. Although we in North Grenville were virtually unharmed by the storm, we did notice a change in our little town. Saturday morning, thousands of our neighbours to the north woke up to realize their electricity had not come on overnight. Worse than that, they were told that the power might be out for five days. The stores, restaurants and gas stations in the remaining powered areas of the city just couldn't accommodate the customers, so residents of the blackedout areas headed south, to Kemptville. I was doing my regular Saturday grocery run when I noticed the lineup from the MacEwen gas station. It was spreading all the way back, out of the parking lot and down the road, into the roundabout. There were about 50 cars lined up when I drove by. At first I thought, "Wow. The price of gas at 1.18 must be really good in Kemptville." Then I realized what was going on. Storm refugees. There was an actual traffic jam in the Canadian Tire parking lot, and the grocery stores were experiencing the same influx of people who had come from away. I had a couple of my own storm refugees - my daughter and her fiancĂŠ from Barrhaven, who needed to take a shower, get a good night's
sleep and use our internet for the night before they hoped to return home. As power lines were down on a section of Greenbank Road and traffic was nuts, it took our Barrhavenites almost two hours to get here. Once in town, they realized they were starving and pulled into Fat Les' chip stand for a poutine. It turned out to be a wise decision, because nearly every other restaurant in town was full to the rafters with a line of hungry, rumpled and tired people waiting to be seated. I didn't hang around long enough to witness any grumpiness myself, but I hear that some people were less than patient when dealing with the traffic and congestion in the stores. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that, like me, they did not immediately realize why they were forced to deal with a sudden influx of shoppers in our little community. For the most part, I think we can safely say, residents of North Grenville quickly realized that the newcomers to town were here because they were hungry and in need of supplies. They didn't need anyone giving them a hard time. That's not what my hometown is about. Here is something I found on Facebook Sunday night that warms my heart. It was written by Kika Smith, who runs one of our local coffee shops. Located on the County Road 43 strip, Brewed Awakenings would have been directly in the line of fire for all of those dishevelled visitors in desperate need of a good cup of java: What a weekend! It has been an incredibly busy weekend with many
new faces coming in from areas affected by the tornadoes. I want to take a minute to thank my phenomenal staff, who took it all in stride and continued to smile and put orders out quickly. One of my staff was headed to volleyball tryouts, which got cancelled, and when she saw how busy we were, she came in and worked for six hours. Not only that, but her dad came in and did dishes for us for hours, smiling and joking the whole time. Thank you, Rachel, Rick and Debbie at Grahame's Bakery, who were ridiculously busy at their place but took a couple minutes to drop off some extra bread; not because we asked them to but because they knew that we would be as busy as they were and need the extra bread. Thank you to Paula, who stopped in for a coffee and cleared tables while she waited. Thank you, Cathy, who offered to run out and get us any groceries that we may need. Thank you, Ghislaine, one of our regular customers who offered to do dishes when she saw our absolutely full restaurant; she decided to come back when it was less busy to get her espresso and then helped us clean up at the end of the day. Again, a huge shout out to my staff for being so amazing. And lastly, thank you to all our customers, new and regular alike, for their patience and humour. We live in an incredible community." Indeed, we do. Diana Leeson Fisher is a regular columnist who grew up in the small town of Kemptville. Her blog can be found at www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com.

OPINION
MONTREAL COUSINS OFTEN STAYED ON FOR SCHOOL IN THE FALL RONNY KEPT MISS CROSBY ON HER TOES WITH HIS ANTICS, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
For reasons I was never able to figure out, my Montreal cousins, Ronny and Terry often stayed on after the summer holidays and went to school with us for a few weeks. At least, Ronny did. Terry was too young, and so he stayed home with Mother, while Ronny (a couple years older) joined us at the Northcote School.
Miss Crosby was never too pleased when this happened. Cecil and my brother Emerson couldn't hold a candle to Ronny's antics, and they were troublemakers from the word "go." And so, it was with a great deal of anxiety that a lunch was packed for Ronny, and he headed off to school with the rest of us. I was sure, without a doubt, that that first day would be a disaster. There was no doubt that Ronny stood out from the rest of the school. His clothes came from the finest stores in Montreal, a real contrast to the overalls and plaid shirts worn by the rest of the boys from Northcote. His shoes were real leather, and it was easy to see his stockings, which
came to his knees, were as fine as could be found in the best stores in a big city. When recess rolled around, Ronny, surprisingly, had been on his best behaviour all morning. He caused no trouble, and I could almost see Miss Crosby breathe a sigh of relief. Every recess, the entire school played ball. Miss Crosby made sure each and every pupil was included. The older boys didn't like it a bit ... but that was the rule, and that was that. As it turned out Ronny was one of the first up to bat. I was pretty sure it would be an embarrassment ... after all, what chance did he have to learn anything about ball in Montreal? Well, were we in for a
surprise. Two Mile Herman was the pitcher, and when he threw the first ball, Ronny connected it to the bat and the ball went sailing. And Ronny took off like a bullet! He slid into first base long before the ball got there. When he stood up, the store-bought grey short flannel pants were dirt from the waist to his knees. The shiny leather shoes were no better. He had to sit in the school for the rest of the day, the Montreal clothes a mess. I was sure we'd be in for it from Mother when she saw the mess of Ronny's good Montreal storebought clothes. And Aunt Helen hadn't sent anything that even remotely looked like the clothes my brothers wore.
When we went to bed that night, I could hear Mother on the old treadle sewing machine, which wasn't unusual, because she often did much of her sewing late in the evening. Well, the next morning, we could see why the old Singer was fair hopping the night before. Mother handed Ronny a pair of overalls and a plaid shirt. She had taken a pair of Earl's overalls, (the smallest of the brothers) cut them off at the knees, and hemmed them up for Ronny. The Montreal clothes were packed away in the little genuine leather suitcases, and wouldn't see the light of day until the two cousins headed back home. There was nothing small enough for young Terry, but he ran around
naked most of the time anyway. As for Ronny, he tamed down a lot when he was no longer teased about his fancy clothes. All it took was a pair of cut-off overalls, and a little too-large plaid shirt to turn Ronny from a mischievous city-slicker into just another young lad from the farm in Renfrew County.

NEWS
COUNCIL RESPONDS TO BLOSSOM ROAD DRAINAGE COMPLAINTS Continued from page 6
velopment, Phil Gerrard, explained that development charges are levies that the municipality obtains from developers working on new construction. The funds go toward funding capital projects. The development charges by-law formerly in place was set to expire on Sept. 8, 2019, which Gerard said may seem like a long time away, but in terms of the particular process, it is not. The municipality received a proposal from the firm who did the previous development charges bylaw, and been inti-
mately involved since then, completing related projects such as the long-term population, housing and employment forecasting study, the water and wastewater rates study, and the recent areaspecific development charges by-law for the northwest quadrant. "The number that they came in with was just over $39,000, but the problem is that we had only budgeted $32,000 in capital funds for that project this year," said Gerrard. "So, we are requesting an increase in the capital budget so that we may initiate this project this year - the difference is $3,500 - the development
charges actually fund the study, so there's no taxpayers' dollars involved with this; it's the development charges funds that we would be requesting from the capital reserve." The Planning Reserve Fund will undertake the 2018 capital project of updating the development charges by-law.
Amendment to user fees and charges bylaw; variance fee The municipality's fence by-law sets standards and specifications for fences within the municipality; in other words, how fences are to be constructed. Gerrard said there are some situatons where provisions cannot be met, so a mechanism was built-in to allow variances to the user fees by-law. "There's no application fee for that, so anyone applying for a variance to that by-law is being subsidized by the taxpayers. It's the feeling of staff that it should
be on a cost-recovery basis from the applicant." Staff proposed a $100 fee for the review and issuance of variances to the fence bylaw 38-04. The resolution was carried.
Public Works responds to Blossom Road drainage complaints Following complaints to the public works department, a survey was conducted in July 2018 as part of the drainage system that ran in front of the residence at 47 Blossom Road in Kemptville. "The survey showed an anomaly of approximately 5cm in the ditch," said director of public works, Karen Dunlop. "This fall, it will be removed and corrected and reseeded once we have a grade-all in the area." Dunlop explained that a grade-all is a rubber-tired excavator, which will be used to smooth out the area to facilitate any drainage issues.

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

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

By way of public information sessions for communities and parents, schools and community health are approaching cannabis legalization in a safe and responsible way. Smoked or vaped cannabis takes seconds or minutes to kick in, lasting up to six or more hours. The effects of ingested cannabis can take 30 minutes to two hours, lasting 12 or more hours. “The risks associated with
smoking or vaping include chronic cough, mucous, wheezing and lung infections,” Patterson noted, and “when ingesting cannabis, it is easy to have too much, increasing the risk for inSee PUBLIC, page 26

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

Install a ceramic tile backsplash in five easy steps If you’re looking for a way to enhance the look of your kitchen, bathroom or laundry room, try putting in a ceramic tile backsplash. Here are five steps to follow. 1. PREPARE THE SURFACE If you’re installing the tiles in your bathroom or laundry room, make sure the wall you use is covered in water-resistant gypsum. This will provide the best protection against moisture and mould. Furthermore, the surface must be smooth, clean and dry. If the wall is painted, sand it gently. 2. DRAW GUIDE LINES Draw a vertical line across the middle of the surface you want to cover. Then, place a tile spacer at the edge of your backsplash (at counter level, for example). This will indicate where you should place your first row of tiles. Using a level and a pencil, draw a horizontal line to mark the placement. 3. PLACE THE TILES Starting at the middle of the bottom row, use a trowel to spread ceramic tile adhesive on a small part of the wall. Place the tiles by lightly pressing on each one, referring back to the horizontal line you drew to make sure they’re level. Place a tile spacer

between each tile and repeat until the surface is entirely covered. Let dry for 24 hours.

4. APPLY GROUT Remove the tile spacers and wipe your ceramic tiles with a damp sponge. Apply the grout so that it fills the grout lines between the tiles. Smooth it out, let it dry, and then clean the tiles. Don’t apply grout to the edges of your backsplash (between the first row of tiles and your counter, for example). You’re better off using caulking for these spaces. 5. SEAL THE GROUT LINES Seal your grout lines by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Several coats might be necessary. Finally, clean your backsplash with a damp cloth, and admire the results!

Three rules for remodelling your kitchen Planning a kitchen remodel? Here are three golden rules you should follow to ensure your project’s success. 1. The work triangle When planning the layout of your kitchen, you need to consider the work triangle, a zone delineated by the washing, cooking, and food storage spaces. This triangle is where you will spend most of your time. For the kitchen to function well, the distances between the dishwasher (or sink), the fridge and the stove must be equal, or almost equal. Don’t place these appliances too far apart.
The Kitchen Work Triangle
2. ClearANCE Do you want to build an island in your kitchen? Make sure to leave about four feet (1.07 metres) of space between your cupboards and your island so that you can move around easily. Similarly, plan for at least three feet (0.9 metres) of clearance in front of your dishwasher for comfortable loading and unloading.
3. LightinG Generally, kitchens have four types of lighting: natural light (from a window above the sink, for example), general light (from a ceiling light or recessed lights), task lights (spotlights on your work surfaces) and accent lights (LED strips underneath the cabinets). Be sure to plan out the placement of your lights before beginning construction work.
In all cases, make sure that you can move around without having to contort yourself, even when the fridge, oven or dishwasher door is open.
Finally, for all your construction and renovation project needs, never hesitate to call on your local specialists.

The donations are still being counted, but it looks like the most recent meeting of 100 Women Who Care - North Grenville was the best one yet. One of the group's leading ladies, Anne Kotlarchuk, says registered members and newcomers pooled their funds this quarter to raise $5,300 for local charity - their largest combined donation so far. This time, members voted to give the funds to Neon Night Kemptville, helping that local fundraiser for childhood cancer programs to surpass its annual fundraising goals. Kotlarchuk says the local chapter of 100 Women
Who Care, which is only in its second year of existence, has already crossed the 100-member mark, and their growth won't be stopping any time soon. "We had about 55 women attend our last meeting, but most of our membership who couldn't attend sent their donations in ahead of time, online." The 100 Women Who Care model asks registered individuals or teams to commit to a $100 donation each quarter, for a full year. Members nominate local charities for consideration, and three are selected at random. Representatives from those three charities
are invited to attend the meeting and make a presentation to the group. Each registered individual or team casts a vote, and by the end of the hour thousands of dollars have been pledged to a worthy local cause. Managers of Rideau Hill Camp, the recipient chosen at the second quarter meeting, gave a presentation to the group on Sept. 20. Funds are being put toward supplementing camp fees so that more children can build some lasting memories with the experience of summer sleepaway camp.

COMMUNITY
LOCAL MARKETING COMPANY LAUNCHES, READY TO CULTIVATE CUSTOMERS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Micheal Luigi Pacitto, local photographer and graphic designer, has launched his most recent brainchild: Market Pie. An open house for the new marketing agency was held at eQuinelle Golf Course on Sept. 20. “How do you draw customers?” Pacitto asked the room at the launch. “You’re so busy focused on building your business and helping people that sometimes learning things like social media is really hard.” Unlike a lot of marketing firms that fo-
cus on the creative aspect of branding, marketing and advertising, Pacitto says Market Pie uses different tools to reach new customers. “We become part of your marketing team. We take on the responsibility of understanding what draws you customers, and how they get to you,” he explained. “We manage that system and do the heavy lifting so that you have more time. We’re taking it all off your plate so you can focus on what you love.” Pacitto says he’s spent the last five years trying to understand the strategies behind successful marketing, especially for larger-
scale businesses, and how to apply those strategies to small businesses in rural communities like North Grenville. After all, he believes it’s the small businesses that really make the North Grenville community thrive. “If business owners aren’t thriving, then this community isn’t thriving,” he said. “So, what I really want to do, and what I’m really passionate about, is trying to understand what the systems are that draw customers for big businesses, no matter where the customers are located. I want to make it so that every single person in this room can benefit from that. It’s a really big task, and it

takes a team.” Market Pie offers affordable retainer packages to businesses of any size or type that want to create and attract customers. Pacitto and his team help businesses get noticed and become leaders in their industries through website development, video production, strategic blogging, and social media management. Pacitto believes business owners aren’t just in it for the money, and that especially in North Grenville, business owners want new ways to give back to their community. “I think the whole reason why you want new customers is not just to grow your bank account, but the more customers you can get as small business owners in this community, the more people you can help,” he said. “If we can help customers, either directly or through our clients, that’s where my heart is and that’s what I want this business to be all about.” The unique strategy behind Market Pie involves researching customers’ businesses, and creating specifically tailored content and marketing methods for their target customers. “We understand who their customers are on an amazing level, and then we take responsibility for reaching out to them on social media and creating a marketing system for them so that they have more time to focus on their business,” said Pacitto. The type of businesses that Market Pie is best-suited for are those that want to have a positive impact on their community. “They’re the people we love making content for, and they’re the customers that really love what we do, because we’re on the same page,” said Pacitto. “That could be a big company, or it could be a small one that’s really integrated. It’s a question of where that business wants to go.” Pacitto recognized that as a business, it’s easy to make yourself known in a community, but it’s very difficult to reach out to the people who aren’t already in your network on in your network’s network. “All business can get word-of-mouth sales, no problem,” he explained, “but the businesses that thrive are not relying on word-of-mouth - they’re using a system that creates customers, no matter where they are; if they’re in the Tempo community, the downtown community, or if they’re way out in the sticks… it doesn’t matter. What we’re going to be doing is creating a way for businesses to reach out beyond their network.” The Market Pie team consists of CAO Micheal Luigi Pacitto, President Sean Corbett, content writer/editor Hilary Thompson, social media manager Abe Hamid, and Ashley Beland. Special thanks and recognition for Market Pie’s success is owed to the North Grenville Business Builders (NGBB), John Kaldeway, Daren Givoque, Chris Chinkiwsky, Jim McManaman, and Ness McCutcheon. “This town has a great asset,” said Pacitto, “We have a really strong business community, and the supports necessary for that community to thrive.” For more information, follow Market Pie on Facebook

JEFF MAGUIRE TACKLES THE DECLINE OF READING. JEFF MAGUIRE Column
The statistics the study produced are startling! And based on what is happening in Canada in this regard I'm sure any such study here would yield similar stats. The study notes that in the 1970s, 60 per cent of U.S. high school seniors reported reading a book, magazine or newspaper every day. By 2016 that number had plunged to just 16 per cent. My concern is that this trend is "dumbing down" our society. In other words people are not as informed as they were when print media was such a dominant force in the world. I don't have a perfect solution to offer with respect to this situation I'm sorry to say. You can't force people to do what they don't want to do! However, just as my parents did so many years ago adults today can talk to their children about the benefits derived from reading and at least introduce them to a subject most young people today don't even consider.

Among the early memories of my childhood is reading books and thoroughly enjoying the experience. I'm fortunate to come from a newspaper family and reading and literacy were at the top of the list in our house in terms of life skills. My late mother Molly was a voracious reader and she passed her love of books along to me, her oldest child. Mum and Dad both had a lifelong love of reading. Among the lessons they taught me and my three siblings were not only to read books, magazines and newspapers but to comprehend what we were reading. After all reading is, or should be, an important part of the human learning curve. Reading and collecting the 'Hardy Boys' book series fueled my interest in mysteries, especially real-life criminal occurrences. So imagine my surprise when, after moving to Carleton Place in 1976 to become editor of the local newspaper, I discovered that many of the Hardy Boys' books were written by a local native. Carleton Placeborn Charles 'Leslie' McFarlane, writing under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, authored 19 of the first 25 books in the series (beginning in 1927 with 'The Tower Treasure') and 21 Hardy Boys titles in total. Reading in my youth
also fueled an interest in travel. As a child I enjoyed mystery novels from England that gave me some insight into life in Great Britain. My parents also bought me books penned by American writer and humorist Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He is better known by his penname, Mark Twain. To me it is pretty difficult to top Twain's best sellers including 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. So now, after lauding the importance and benefits of reading, I am left to comment on the alarming decline in this vitally important life skill, especially among teenagers. The advent of the world-wide web has seriously impacted the written word. In its place is an ongoing landslide in the use of social media. Teenagers in particular are using their phones and portable devices to text, scroll and visit social media sites. Young adults are close behind in this regard. The resulting decline in reading books is especially worrying I think. Recently the American Psychological Association published research showing that adolescents in the United States are using their portable devices for many hours each day rather than reading books or other long-form media. The results of the study appeared in a Washington Post article which my wife referred me to.

OPINION
ARE YOU BEFUDDLED BY VEHICLE KEY FOBS? HANDY LITTLE DEVICES DO HAVE SOME DRAWBACKS, COLUMNIST BRIAN TURNER WRITES BRIAN TURNER Column
With little doubt, one of the most beloved and sought after features on today's vehicles has to be the remote entry system. After all, who really wanted to fumble with keys in a rainstorm in the first place? And isn't it lovely to be able to just push a button to start your ride? Sort of hearkens back to the 1929 Model A with its
foot button starter control. But as remote fob transmitters become more and more popular (even in entry level products), more consumers every day are discovering some surprising drawbacks to these handy little devices. The first is replacement cost. Keys, like socks, have been going missing in record numbers, well, since the beginning of socks. Lose a remote key/fob and your wallet is in for a shock. They range in price from $100 to over $500 each with many mainstream vehicles coming in at the $200 mark; ouch! And they're not clothes-washer proof, so forget one in your pocket, and you're heading back to the dealership for another wallet hit. When you have to replace a fob transmitter with most vehicles, the vehicle (not the fob) has to be
programmed to recognize the new key which of course means booking an appointment with your dealership and paying their labour fees. If you think you can live with just one key when you lose one, think again. Key fobs can fail from time to time and if you only have the one, it means getting a tow to the nearest dealership for replacement. They run on batteries. Remote fob transmitters need electrical power to operate and therefore contain a battery (think of wrist watch batteries). If you use the same fob constantly you'll usually get about 12-18 months of use before the battery wears out. Some vehicles will provide a dash warning when the battery is getting weak, but not all. If the fob battery
is completely dead, the push-button start may not work. If this happens, try using the fob itself to push the starter button; its proximity to the button usually will give you one last start. They can make your vehicle prone to theft. Sounds hard to believe, but this advanced technology can be beat by thieves with some higher tech in their back pockets. There are devices available that can amplify the signal that remote key fobs constantly transmit. These amplifiers can increase the fob's power to the point that when it's stowed in your home, your car will unlock and can be started and driven away. This is how car thieves are getting high-end luxury units out of owners' driveways. If your neighbourhood has ex-
perienced any of these events and you're particularly worried about your own ride, you can wrap the key fob in tinfoil to prevent this from happening. If you want something a little more esthetic, get a small decorative metal tin box, line it with foil, and deposit your keys in it when you get home. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing 'Question for the Car Counsellor' on the subject line or by post to Metroland Media, 65 Lorne St., Smiths Falls, Ont. K7A 3K8]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume I can't always promise replies).

... she's about three years old and has a LOT of love to share. She is absolutely adorable and extremely affectionate. She can't stop hugging and snuggling in your arms, your neck, your lap. She's a true lap-cat. We don't much of her history, she was a stray cat and we find it hard to believe that nobody came looking for her. She's a real gem to call your own. Please meet her in Almonte at Pet Valu. Ulyss Meet Ulyss who arrived in April. His transformation since his arrival have been remarkable. Initially shy and unsure as he was surrendered and found his new location somewhat scary, he's now very comfortable with all his cat buddies and enjoys human touch. He's been at LAWS since April and was overlooked too many times. He's
not the outgoing kind who will greet you at the door, but once he knows you're his caregiver he'd be happy to share the couch with you. He will make a good pet for any calm household. Please meet this black beauty with his sleek shiny fur and amazing green eyes at LAWS. Libby Looking for a sweet, pretty Tortoiseshell cat? Look no further but please meet Liberty (Libby as her foster mom calls her). Libby is a gentle, loving girl who was a great mom to her 3 kittens.

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

MCLAREN, ANDREW DAVID – In loving memory of a dear son and brother, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver. October 19, 1977 – September 28, 1996.

We’ve so many precious memories To last our whole life through Each one of them reminders Of how much we’re missing you. Forever in our hearts, loved and missed everyday. Dad, Mom, Stephanie, Blade & Norm.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may want to pull the covers over your head and stay in bed all week long, but that’s just not possible. If you dust yourself off and get out there, you’ll get back on track. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Don’t lose your patience if you need to repeat yourself a few times before your point comes across to others, Taurus. Eventually, others will start to come around.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It is important to have goals, but not at the expense of friendships, Leo. If you have to put success over the needs of others, it may not be worth it. Wait until everything jibes.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may get an inkling that change is ahead, but you can’t pinpoint which direction it’s coming from. Just be at the ready for anything that seems unusual.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Having a plan in place at all times is your saving grace, Virgo. When something unexpected happens this week, you will be able to handle it without breaking a sweat.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, when someone challenges you, it’s best to not get defensive. This may seem like you are admitting guilt. Instead, do not engage this person much.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, do not worry even if your workload seems overwhelming. Relief is on the way. A hero will swoop in and take some of the responsibility off your shoulders.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Two friends or family members may try to put you in the middle of their quarrel, Libra. This is an unenviable situation. Try to remain as neutral as possible.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Happy times in your life have you exhibiting good will toward others, Cancer. Maybe you’ll give a coworker a break or cast some good vibes on a friend.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Though it may be challenging, spend more time engaging in frivolous activities this week rather than more serious pursuits. Show others you can let loose, Scorpio.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Travel plans may be slightly delayed, but they’re not completely off the table, Pisces. Don’t worry about having to unpack those bags just yet.
