foot, horseback and machine at the section of the multi-use trail under the Highway 7 overpass at the border of Carleton Place and Beckwith to participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony. Lanark County Warden and Perth Mayor John Fenik noted the official opening was a celebration of eight years of hard work. "The day has arrived," he announced. "I think this is going to be a spectacular trail that will connect someday to loops and go right through Renfrew and Papineau-Cameron and it's going to just be a wonderful asset to Lanark County and beyond." It was back in 2011 when the county formed a partnership with Renfrew County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron to purchase the abandoned rail bed from Canadian Pacific. It stretches 296 kilometres from Smiths Falls to Mattawa. The county's portion begins at Sturgess Road in Montague Township, running through the municipalities of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills to the Renfrew/Ottawa border.
Fenik credited the efforts of Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet for his involvement from day one, as well as the work of Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves, director of public works Terry McCann and his team for getting the trail ready. Over the past year, the county has invested $1.5 million to provide granular resurfacing, gates, signage and upgrades to three bridges in Almonte. "Also, a hand to all members of Lanark County council, who at times debated very passionately about the vision of this trail," he stated. "I think the vision is still unfolding and it will for years, but my thanks to all members of county council who came together and worked co-operatively to make this happen." County Coun. and chair of the economic development committee, Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd, noted he was pleased to see hundreds come together to share in the trail's vision, which will "create more friends." "The friends I want are people like the friends who are here to-

It was a chilly start for the 10th annual Harvest Run in Smiths Falls. But this year's healthy living ambassador, Rick Coldrey, tells the Record News before the race on Saturday, Oct. 6, that, while it might be chilly, it's the perfect weather for running. Coldrey, in his 70s, has participated in the Harvest Run a number of times. He's even completed a half marathon. "I love it," he says of running. "It keeps me young." The Harvest Run isn't just a 5K race - it's a fundraiser for the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. The only price of admission are four pieces of nonperishable food items. Food bank manager Natalia Soteroff says events like this help to fill the food bank's shelves. Often, she said, items donated through these fundraisers bring in special items that aren't normally stocked. "They (the clients) get

SMITHS FALLS COUNCIL AGREES TO LIVESTREAM MEETINGS IT'S NOT CLEAR YET WHICH EXACT MEETINGS WILL BE LIVESTREAMED EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Soon, you'll be able to livestream Smiths Falls council and/or committee meetings. The move comes as the town aims to provide an accessible and convenient means for the public to watch council meetings, while improving accountability, transparency and accessibility. Coun. John Maloney brought the issue before council as a priority item. A staff report was delivered to council at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, Oct. 1, to discuss the livestreaming option.

Kerry Costello, the town's clerk and director of corporate services, said the town looked into three options for providing the service: 1) Doing it in-house. 2) Getting YourTV, the company that currently tapes and broadcasts council and committee meetings, to provide the service. 3) A holistic approach to meeting management where all meeting agendas, minutes, livestream feed, and recordings would be available and accessible through the town's website. Costello said that currently the town doesn't have the staffing resources or technology to the do the job in-house. Council opted for the livestreaming service to be provided by YourTV for a one-year term. As indicated in the town's report prepared by Costello, a longer-term solution could include a more ho-
listic approach - linking the minutes, agendas and livestreams, using a meeting management software. "It's something I'd like council to consider, possibly for 2019," said Costello. Town hall renovations could give the municipality the ability to provide livestreaming services in house. Maloney said he was "very excited" about meetings being livestreamed, as many people aren't able to watch them if they don't have Cogeco. As it stands, the livestreaming service will cost the town a flat rate of $500 per meeting. As indicated in the report, as a cost savings council could choose to only livestream council meetings, committee of the whole meetings, or a combination of both. "There is quite a bit of flexibility," said Costello.
Mayor Shawn Pankow said that, while he would like to see all meeting livestreamed, for cost savings, he would prefer to see committee of the whole meetings, where issues are discussed and debated, livestreamed online. Before the town officially approves the agreement with YourTV, upon suggestion from Coun. Joe Gallipeau, council has directed staff to ask about the cost to cover both council and committee meeting meetings, such as in cases where committee meetings and council meetings are held back to back on the same day, since the cable company is already set up. Council is also expected to explore the possibility of electronic participation, so that council members are able to take part in meetings even if they aren't physically present in council chambers. "I think that's the way of the future," said Coun. Dawn Quinn.It is not clear yet which meetings will be livestreamed. No date has been set for when meetings will go live.

Make Your Selection ... Then Pick Up A Scratch Card Ashley Kulp/Metroland Almonte residents Linda Manzer and David Frisch turned out to protest the official opening of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail in Carleton Place Oct. 5. The residents, who both live along the trail, say the county has failed to listen to their pleas for a bypass around the town of Almonte and have concerns over safety and policing on the trail. County and they're reviewing it and we all work in cooperation. There are issues that we have to address yet - speeding, safety, 911 signs and all of that stuff." Spanning nearly 300 kilometres and almost 2,700 acres, Sweet noted the OVRT is an example of collaboration at its best and cited the active transportation, tourism and economic development benefits. He said the best is yet to come. "I say to Lanark County: congratulations. They're way ahead of us ... they've got their whole trail complete. I wish we could say the same, but we're working at it and we will get it done," Sweet said. "It'll be marvellous to be able to drive all the way from Mattawa to Smiths Falls, but eventually when we make that connection up near North Bay, you can go
north past Sudbury and you can go all the way on the Trans Canada (Trail). It opens up 4,000 kilometres of trails in eastern Ontario." Trail hours With Oct. 5's ribbon cutting, the OVRT is now open to the public from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 1 to Nov. 30 and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Dec. 1 to March 31. Non-motorized users have the right of way on the trail. Dogs are permitted, but must be kept on a leash and users must clean up after pets. Motorized vehicle users must possess a licence, insurance and ATV or snowmobile club permit to be allowed on the trail. For more rules and information, visit www.ottawavalleytrail.com. Those who wish to report an issue on the OVRT should email trails@lanarkcounty.ca.

tendees less than thrilled with the trail's opening. Frisch and Manzer, who raised a sign emblazoned with 'I'm Not Celebrating,' both live on the OVRT and are upset the county wouldn't approve of a motorized vehicle bypass around the town of Almonte. Concerned over safety, enforcement, as well as noise and decreasing property values, the biggest issue Manzer said, is the lack of acknowledgment from the county. "There's no response to policing. Who do we call? What happens if there's an accident? They (county) haven't talked to us at all," she commented. "They'll talk to the snowmobile clubs and the ATV clubs ... but they haven't talked to people like me and David." "The fact is, the OPP has neither the means nor the budget to police this trail effectively," Frisch added. Manzer, a world-renowned guitar maker had planned to open an international school in her home, but is thinking differently now with the OVRT 20 feet from her door. "My life has changed completely because of this. I'm ignored. I'm upset," she said. " ... I'm here because I couldn't let this happen without at least one person here knowing what is happening. Sorry, I rained on your parade. They (councillors) get to go home to a peaceful place. I don't." Sweet, who has crisscrossed the province to try and make the OVRT dream a reality acknowledged there has been some "push back," but he is confident communities will jump on board and see it as an asset. "I know there are some who are not happy. I get that. I understand that, but hopefully we can make converts to the whole process," he said. "We've got work to do. We're completing a management plan and that management plan is in the hands of Lanark

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

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY PROVINCE AIMS TO PUT FARMERS FIRST DEAR EDITOR: As we celebrated the 20th annual Ontario Agriculture Week, Oct. 1-7, I want to salute our farmers for all they do to feed our province, build our rural communities and grow the economy. I know the hard work and long hours our farmers put in and the challenges of dealing with risks beyond your control such as weather and trade issues. Our government for the people understands the adversity our farmers face. We saw those challenges this week with concessions in the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), that will impact our supply managed sector. I want to assure you that we are pushing the federal government to provide compensation for our impacted farmers. We will always stand up for Ontario farmers. There are huge opportunities in the agriculture and food sector; however,
we have heard far too often about the difficulties farmers face with red tape and excessive regulation. The entire sector is saddled with too much of it. We are getting rid of it so farmers can concentrate more on what they do best: working the land and feeding families across the province. Over the next few months you will see more of the steps we are taking to reduce red tape and simplify these regulations. To better serve Ontario farmers, we want to hear from you about your experiences with red tape so we can find solutions. We also want to work with you to strengthen our rural communities, to reduce high energy costs on the family farm, and to continue to put more money in the pockets of farmers. We're tackling crippling high electricity rates and have introduced legislation that, if passed, would scrap the previous government's expensive Green Energy Program. Premier Ford recently announced a plan to ex-
pand natural gas access to more than 70 new rural communities. We understand the importance of increasing access to natural gas, and infrastructure in our communities across the province. I also want to commend Premier Ford for travelling to Washington, where he stood up for Ontario jobs and brought forward the trade concerns of our farmers. Our government has vowed Ontario is open for business, and we mean it. Farmers are the stewards of the land and we recognize the vital importance of your hard work to the economic well-being of Ontario. Over the next four years we will leave no stone unturned to provide real relief to rural Ontario.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Incumbent Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow faced off against his only challenger, current sitting councillor, Joe Gallipeau, during the all-candidates debated hosted by the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce, moderated by Paul Howard, at the Settlers Ridge Centre on Thursday, Oct. 4. Mayoral candidates were asked to respond to a series of questions submitted by members of the public on issues important to voters including hospital funding, recreational cost sharing, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costing, conflict of interest, the potential relocation the Victoria Park Campground, Turtle Island Bridge, priorities for infrastructure repairs, commuter rail and the potential to have a question and answer period for members of the public in the council chambers. Question: As mayor, would your support the capital funding request at approximately $41 per household for the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospi-
tal on an annual basis? If not, how would you propose the hospital fund its projected shortfall? Pankow: In the summer of 2017, I sat with hospital foundation and hospital officials, they outlined the challenges they're going to have over the next decade to meet the equipment needs. They determined they're going to need about $3.1 million per year to fund the equipment needs of our hospital to ensure our hospital can continue to provide the vital services it does and to ensure that our physicians have the ability to do the procedures all of us want done, close to home. It became very evident through that process that there was no way the foundations would have the capacity, no matter how hard they work, to meet those needs. The only way to create sustainable financing to ensure our hospital has the financing it needs to ensure that health care providers have the tools to do the procedures patients need, probably is through municipal taxation. That means that the nine communities in the hospital's catchment area, providing service to

I don't know if it's a levy, or through municipal budget line item, but in whatever way it's implemented it won't increase taxes. Gallipeau: I don't support a levy on taxes because the taxes in Smiths Falls are well over what they are in other communities. We have excessive water bills and there's a pile of people, who between their taxes, their mortgages, and their water bills, are just barely getting by. There
are other ways that we could raise the money. The town could help supply water and sewer to the hospital. I don't think that would cost the taxpayers any money because their water plan is underused right now and only working at 40 per cent capacity. Another option would be to go to our provincial government because hospitals are the province's responsibility. They're the ones that should be funding equipment needs. Hopefully, the Ford government will step up to the plate with what
they're working on to make the hospitals and health system better. Question: Should there be another look at recreational cost sharing with surrounding municipalities? Gallipeau: I've talked to other surrounding municipalities, most of which provide funding. There's only one that that neglected to step up during the last cost-sharing agreement. With the new mayor and council, hopefully we can get them to step up. In talking with neighboring municipalities, I would entertain having contributors sit on recreational boards to be better informed on how their money is being spent and how the facilities are managed. Pankow: A new recreational cost sharing agreement was crafted this term of council. I worked with staff, other members of council, and neighbouring communities to come up with what we felt was a fair agreement. Only one of the five - Merrickville-Wolford - didn't sign on. Merrickville-Wolford had the smallest share, $16,000. All other partners have paid their full share.
Question: Would you ask for an OPP costing again? Pankow: OPP costing would provide policing to the community that would be considerably lower than what we're paying today, but you wouldn't have the same level of service. We would be sharing officers with surrounding municipalities. We would have adequate policing, and there probably would be a cost savings, but we would not have the same number of officers on the ground as we do today. I served on the police services board this term, and we reduced the size of the force by two. We have reduced manpower and created savings. However, I support OPP costing to understand what the numbers are and then make a decision about whether or not it's worth sacrificing what we have and what we know, and the level of service we enjoy. Gallipeau: I have voted for OPP costing before. One of the main reasons, is that it would give us a yard stick as to what the cost would be for their services to police our town. At least we would have a yard stick. If

UCDSB RECOGNIZES RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL EXPERIENCE WITH ORANGE SHIRT DAY The movement for active, healthy living
Look in today’s paper for your OFS flyer*
The Upper Canada District School Board was a sea of orange Oct. 1 as students and staff from across our vast district wear orange shirts to recognize Orange Shirt Day. Orange Shirt Day is officially on Sept. 30 and is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School (1891-1981). It grew out of an account from residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad, who told her story of how her new orange shirt was taken from her on the first day of school at the Mission. Since 2013, Webstad's story has become an opportunity to further the discussion on all aspects of the residential school experience and provides a focus for public recognition in Canada about a dark and difficult period in our national history. "Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for our teachers, students
Submitted/UCDSB Schools across the Upper Canada District School Board marked Orange Shirt Day on Oct. 1. Pictured, students plant an Orange Shirt Garden during the school board's spring TRC+3 learning activities. and staff to openly recognize the injustices that happened in residential schools and how the actions impacted so many young people. Today, classrooms will be talking about the significance of Orange Shirt Day and engaging in
learning activities. We want our students to understand that we all belong, we all matter and to carry that message with them each day, throughout their lives, not just on this day," said Superintendent of Schools and Indigenous Education, Jodie Barrett. The date for Orange Shirt Day was chosen because of its historical significance. This was the time of year that Indigenous children were taken from their homes to attend residential schools operated by the federal government. In the present day, the date is now an opportunity for Indigenous peoples, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

I would like with your help to work with council to manage the Town more efficiently for the Tax Payers. Smiths Falls is competing with 3 other neighbouring Towns for more Housing, Commercial and Industrial Taxes. We have not been doing very well for years. Smiths Falls residential taxes are 29% higher than Perth, 50% higher than Carleton Place and 60% higher than Kemptville. Perth Carleton Place Kemptville
$100,000.00 Assessment Property Taxes – Smiths Falls $1803.10 $1397.86 X 28.99% = $1803.23 $1200.12 X 50.24% = $1803.06 $1125.39 X 60.22% = $1803.09
There are many reasons for this and I would like to work with council if elected. The town has a very strong foundation for the future Thanks to Mayor Dennis Staples and his Council for coming up with The Strategic Plan. Ward 3 - Smiths Falls, Rideau Lakes, Westport, Merrickville-Wolford

In just 12 years, 2002 to 2014 completed improvements between min. $120,000,000.00 and $144,000,000.00 costing the town 7.5% or 6.25% it was hard to get an exact figure. Either way this is $10,000,000.00 or $12,000,000.00 a year completed in improvements over 12 years with such a small percent of investment. IT IS NOW TIME TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE TAX PAYERS OF SMITHS FALLS. What I want to work on is to pay off the debt in 5 years or less, making the Taxes and Water Bills frozen at the same rate as they are in 2018 till the debt is cleared. Once completed, adjust the Tax Rate to at least be in line with Perth, 30% less taxes. I have a formula I believe will accomplish this for Tax Payers. Perth learned this lesson over 50 years ago having managed their town with no debt for decades. I would like to work hard on the spending in Smiths Falls to put the Town in a better position.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day - October 16, 2018
Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived. It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies. It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares. Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.
Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

When it comes time to swap your winter tires for your summer set, get in the habit of changing your windshield wipers too. Why? Your wipers have a rough life. They’re bombarded with drying UV rays all summer and regularly get hit with your scraper come wintertime. It’s no surprise that their effectiveness tends to diminish after only a few months of use. When your wipers start leaving streaks on your windshield and making noise, it’s time to replace them. Most experts and enthusiasts agree that you should change your wipers every six months. Summer or winter wipers? A decade ago, windshield wiper manufacturers sold models designed for either summer or winter. Thanks to technological advances, however, today’s wipers are now more flexible and better suited to the curvature of the windshield, making them much more efficient than their predecessors. This means weather no longer has much of an impact on their performance, regardless of the season. If you drive an SUV or a hatchback, don’t forget about your back wiper, which should also be replaced every six months.
Easy installation Many people think that installing windshield wipers is complicated, but that isn’t the case. Wipers are sold with small adaptors and only take a few minutes to install. If you aren’t comfortable doing it yourself, ask your mechanic to take care of it when you take your car in for your seasonal tire change. Finally, keep in mind that the condition of your windshield wipers is just as important as that of your tires. Don’t hesitate to invest in a quality set, as your ability to properly see the road in all conditions is crucial. Good wipers are an essential safety feature.
A hatchet and shovel may also prove useful to get you out of a sticky situation (if a tree prevents you from moving forward, for example). You’ll also need towing cables in case your truck gets stuck. Use a tree or a friend’s truck as an anchor point. Finally, always stay on the trail and follow signage, and keep a change of clothes in your vehicle. You never know what Mother Nature has in store.
Ideally, you’ll head out into the wilderness as part of a group — you don’t want to end up stranded alone, miles away from civilization. Bring walkie-talkies so that
Headlight deterioration
As your vehicle gets older, your headlights begin to darken, which significantly weakens their effectiveness over time. It starts to happen on most vehicles after roughly five years but could occur even earlier, as the issue is with the lens material and not the car itself.

Among the materials commonly used to manufacture headlights, glass stays clear the longest but has become increasingly rare over the last 15 years. Today’s automakers almost exclusively install lenses crafted from polycarbonate, which are easier to adapt to the silhouette of contemporary cars. The trade-off is that polycarbonate is far more vulnerable to abrasive debris such as sand, calcium and salt as well as the sun and rain. Opacity can begin to diminish the effectiveness of your headlights after only three or four years, particularly if you frequently travel long distances with your vehicle. Motorists who routinely use the highway during the winter also run the risk of faster wear and tear on their headlights. Low-cost solutions The best option would be to replace your dull headlights, but even if you choose a recycled pair, this won’t be the most cost-effective solution. The far less expensive alternative is to have
your lenses professionally polished. The steps involved are as follows: • A thorough cleaning. • A pressure wash, to cut through blemishes on the lens. • The actual polishing. This will restore the transparency of the lens and leave it looking good as new.
A variety of businesses offer this service, including automotive glass retailers, independent mechanics, rustproofing companies and sometimes car washes. Prices typically range from $70 to $90. Refurbishing your headlights is an effective way to prolong their lifespan. That being said, it isn’t a permanent solution. Eventually, road debris and UV rays will start degrading your lenses again. One last trick to prevent this is to apply UV-proof wax a few times a year to counteract the harsh effects of the sun.

For starters, make sure your vehicle is able to take on difficult terrain. You’ll need an all-wheel drive transmission and, ideally, high ground clearance designed for bush roads. Pickup trucks and SUVs are respectable options. It’s also a good idea to get off-road tires.
you can communicate in case of a mechanical problem or if you lose one of your hunting buddies.
If you aren’t familiar with the trails leading to your camp, it makes sense to do some reconnaissance to avoid unpleasant surprises (such as a fallen tree blocking the road or a flooded trail section). And this might seem obvious, but don’t forget to bring at least 10 litres of extra fuel, just in case.

What is an octane rating? The measure of a fuel’s ability to withstand engine knocking is called an octane rating. Knocking is the result of uncontrolled combustion between the mixture of air and fuel and is most often apparent when your engine is pushed to its limit (high acceleration or driving in the mountains, for example). Numbers at the pump Automakers provide a recommended octane rating for use in each of their models. Filling your gas tank with higher-rated fuel than necessary would be a waste of money. For cars designed for peak performance, unleaded super is generally the norm. In certain situations that are especially taxing for your engine, a higher rating might be required.
SAVE up tO 25% ON WINTER TIRES!
But what do you do if you still notice knocking in your engine, despite the use of a higher-rated fuel? There are a few different solutions, including the use of a product called an octane booster, which contains additives designed to solve certain engine knocking problems. A second solution is to clean out your engine’s combustion chambers to eliminate unwanted deposits. Make sure you do all the necessary research when it comes to buying a cleaning product. Keep in mind that carbon deposits will return every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometres, which makes this solution a temporary one that needs to be repeated every so often. If the issue persists, make an appointment with your mechanic and let the experts fix the problem for you.
Whether you’re towing a heavy load, driving through mountainous terrain or heading to the campground with your family and all your equipment, each time you need your engine to work extra hard, a higher rating should be used. Fuel with a higher octane rating will better absorb the excess heat generated by your engine. Cars that have crossed the 100,000-kilometre mark on the odometer can also benefit from a higher octane rating, which may prolong the vehicle’s lifespan.

Are you in the market for a pre-owned vehicle? Follow these tips to avoid getting stuck with a lemon. Research the price Are you looking for a particular model of used vehicle? First things first: go online to compare prices to find out what the market value is for your car of choice. Make a budget No matter what kind of car you’re shopping for, it’s easy to get carried away and go over your budget. Make a list of your wants and needs, and establish a budget that factors in insurance and maintenance costs. Don’t forget to leave yourself some wiggle room for the unforeseen. Get your hands on the car’s history Ideally, you’ll get the chance to view the invoices for any maintenance work done on the car. Dealerships usually keep the paperwork for all vehicles they’ve done maintenance on, and some private sellers do the same. Otherwise, there are organizations such as CarProof that offer vehicle history reports, but they aren’t always comprehensive. Know who the seller is Be sure you know exactly who you’ll be buying the vehicle from. There are ill-intentioned people everywhere, and the car sales
business is no exception. The thought of making a quick buck can make people greedy. Knowing who you’re doing business with is crucial. Have it inspected Once you’ve taken all the necessary precautions, it’s time to have the car inspected. Bring it to an independent mechanic of your choosing — if the seller insists on taking it to a specific garage, take your business elsewhere. Take it for a test drive Take the car out for a spin — don’t settle for simply starting it! Ideally, you should take 15 to 20 minutes to familiarize yourself with the feeling of the car. Try to drive it on city roads as well as on the highway. Listen for any suspicious sounds, pay attention to the suspension and keep your eyes peeled for any little details that could reveal the vehicle’s true condition. Get it in writing If you buy your car from a dealership, you’ll need to sign a contract. Make sure that it matches your verbal agreement on all points. If you decide to purchase from an indepen dent seller, it’s highly recommended that you draft a written agreement, even if you aren’t required to by law. In the event of future problems, it might offer you some valuable protections.

it was a big difference in cost, I think we should at least look at it. Just because we get a costing, does not mean we have to do it. If we had a costing, we could go back to our town police force and try and work with them and see if we could get the costs a little more under control. Question: How do you propose to ensure that this town is provided with a transparent insight into the decision-making process and to ensure that decisions made are best for your constituents and avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest? Gallipeau: I'm glad somebody asked that question because there's been a lot of rumours around Smiths Falls. The Gallipeau Centre had the accelerator, which did receive money from the town. It was a non-profit group that was set up through Valley Heartland. They were strictly a tenant of the Gallipeau Centre. The Gallipeau Centre at no time received money from the accelerator or the Town of Smiths Falls. The Hub pool, the very same thing. The Hub did get funding from the Town of Smiths Falls, but that funding went to the Hub pool. They had their own board, they're a non-profit company and the Gallipeau Centre was at a strictly arm's length - we couldn't sit on the board. They were a ten-
ant of the Gallipeau Centre. No money ever came to the Gallipeau Centre. The other issue is the dispute (lawsuit) I have with the Town of Smiths Falls over water, sewer and meters. My daughter and I spent probably two years trying to get a resolution out of court - meeting with town staff. After two years, we were getting nowhere with town staff, so I had no alternative but to proceed further and try and get a resolution. I think anybody sitting in the room, that was in the same situation as I was, that felt they weren't being treated properly by the town, or at least getting any results from the town staff, hopefully you would stand up and do the same as I did. Over my four years as councillor, anything to do with the Gallipeau Centre or TAG Gallipeau Corporation, at any meeting or any conversation that took place at the town hall, I declared a conflict of interest. As mayor, if anything comes up with my tenants I will declare a conflict of interest. Pankow: The only concern I would have, as mayor I deal with investment inquiries from developers and builders on a very regular basis - people looking to come and buy or rent property. The question I have for Councillor Gallipeau is: how would you not get involved in those discussions when you own a significant amount of properties available in town?
Gallipeau: I understand where Pankow is coming from. However, Pankow has the same problem I do because he has a lot of clients that he deals with and also needs to declare conflicts of interest. Question: (directed at Pankow) Was the plan to relocate the Victoria Park Campground your idea or one from your immediate family? If elected, would you lobby Parks Canada to leave the campground in its present location? Will this be a topic discussed by the next council? Pankow: The 2013 Downtown Revitalization Waterfront Integration Master Plan is the document which first discussed moving Victoria Park
the feet out from the chamber - they need the campground. If changes with the campground negatively impact the chamber, the town should support them financially. My preference
would be that we move the campground to another part of the river and use the space where the campground is now to create an See CANDIDATES, page 43
CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF RIDEAU LAKES NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT (ZBA-11-2018) DENNIS O’CONNOR & JOHN ROYLE CON 4 PT LOT 4 Ward of South Elmsley, Township of Rideau Lakes 158 Highway 15 TAKE NOTICE that the Planning Advisory Committee of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Rideau Lakes will hold a public meeting on the 24th day of October, 2018, at 1:00pm to review an application to amend the Township of Rideau Lakes’ Zoning By-Law #2005-6.

The change in zoning is requested to reflect the existing self-storage facility use on the subject property as an additional permitted use in the CG Zone.

Campground. That document was developed after consultation with the community in 2010 - before many of us served on council. The vision goes back eight years. Within the new strategic plan, in the waterfront development section, there was a portion that referenced the possibility of closing the campground in its current location. It was this year when Parks Canada really put their foot down on what they see as the vision for the entire Rideau Canal - which doesn't include trailers at Victoria Park. We understand the value these seasonal residents bring to the community and the value it brings to the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce. There's very little benefit going to the taxpayers. We lease the land from Parks Canada. I think we can buy some time and find another location. We don't want to cut

POLICE, BYLAW OFFICERS TO SHARE CANNABIS ENFORCEMENT ROLES EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com As cannabis legalization looms, municipalities are getting ready for a big shift. Smiths Falls is no different. Come Oct. 17, cannabis will be
legal across Canada. That means the shift in enforcement of cannabis use from strictly a policing issue to one that will include a mix of police and bylaw enforcement mechanisms. In preparation for legalization, town staff have met with Smiths Falls Police Chief
Mark MacGillivray and the town's bylaw service provider, Frontenac Municipal Enforcement Services, to develop an approach to enforce illegal uses. And while there is clarity on some issues, such as illegal storefronts, the town's chief administra-

WATCHING GRANDCHILDREN GROW IS A PRIVILEGE SAVOUR EVERY MOMENT AS IT GOES BY TOO QUICKLY, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column
I have never spoken to a grandparent who doesn't rave about their grandchildren. Kathleen and I joined the ranks four-anda-half years ago. Now we know why people never miss an opportunity to comment on their grandchildren or to show everyone who will look the latest photos of their grandkids, something most of us have readily available on our phones or tablets. I realize not everyone has children, meaning they won't have grandchildren either. In some cases that's by choice. Not everyone wants to be a parent or grandparent. Still others yearn to be in our shoes but, for various reasons, never have the opportunity. Life can be very cruel! I have spoken to countless people who have told me how fortunate I am to be a parent and grandparent. And believe me I know how lucky we are. Being a grandparent isn't a right, it's a privilege. Kathy and I are truly blessed and we know that! Of course being a parent certainly has its ups
and downs. The same is true of being a grandparent. As grandparents we have a second chance to see children grow, learn and deal with the triumphs and good times along with the frustrations and heartache that life delivers. As a parent you always worry about your kids. Ditto for grandparents! Call it "Round Two" if you like. Being a grandparent means you get to worry all over again. Parents and grandparents never stop wondering what their children and grandchildren are doing, hoping they're OK and that everything is going smoothly. We trust that things will work out for the best! Our two grandchildren are at what we call "the perfect age." Lily will be five next March while Max turned two in July. They are growing quickly of course - too quickly. But at this age every day is a learning experience and because they live nearby we are able to watch them grow, learn and develop. So far things are going very well I'm happy to report. I know our daughter Heather and her partner Indy won't agree with my "perfect age" assessment in terms of their children. Lily has just started junior kindergarten so she is moving swiftly along the path of life. But as I just noted Max is two. The oft-repeated

term "the terrible twos" definitely applies to our Max. He's a wonderful little guy. But he's a handful at times and he learns some of life's lessons the hard way. Had they been born in another era I think our grandchildren would have been great candidates to appear on the old CBS television and radio segment entitled Kids Say the Darndest Things. The American program was hosted by the late, great TV and radio personality Art Linkletter, a native of Moose Jaw, Sask. Honestly, some of the things our grandchildren say are truly beyond belief ! I won't embarrass their parents by repeating any of those statements in print. But I'm sure every grandparent who reads this will shake their head knowingly. Little children are hilarious and most of the time they don't even know it. Lily and Max always make our day and some of the things they have said will stick with us forever. We realize the children won't be young for long. Therefore we savour every minute we have with them. Grandchildren are truly a gift!

AUNT LIZZIE'S HAND-ME-DOWNS WERE ALL PUT TO GOOD USE IN THE DEPRESSION YEARS, GIFTS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
Even though Aunt Lizzie, Father's sister from Regina, regularly sent a big wood box full of clothes her two university educated sons could no longer wear, we always seemed to get summer clothes in the winter, and winter clothes when sweat was pouring off our noses. However, Mother was grateful for whatever Aunt Lizzie packed in the box, and very little ever went astray. Once she had gone through the box, and found out what fitted my three
brothers, Mother sorted the remainder into different piles. Of course, it was all boys or men's clothes, so the chance of my sister Audrey or me getting anything we could just put on and wear was never an option. One pile was put away for the next season, one pile was what could be worn without being ripped apart ... and this usually caused a fist fight between my three brothers who always wanted the best of the lot. Mother settled that in a hurry by throwing everything back into the box, and telling the boys SHE would decide who got what! I knew from what came out of the box that Uncle Jack must have had a very important job, because always there were at least two men's suits. Of course, they would be well worn, and shiny, but by the time Mother was finished with them, there was no resemblance to what had come from Regina.
Mother said the suits were pure serge, whatever that meant. But according to her, serge meant wealth! And we learned that wealth in the '30s meant having a good paying job with no chance of being laid off. So Uncle Jack worked for the CPR which meant he and Aunt Lizzie could go anywhere in Canada free of charge. I just couldn't imagine anyone being that rich. Imagine, a free pass to anywhere in Canada! No wonder the handme-down box was full of the finest of boy's clothes, and the best serge suits you could buy. And Aunt Lizzie's hand-me-downs weren't to be sneezed at either. She was very partial to red, and we could always count on a silk dress, or maybe a blouse in the brightest of reds being in the box. Because I had flaming red hair, these pieces of clothing always ended up being made over into something for my sis-
ter Audrey, which suited me just fine, as red certainly wasn't my favourite colour at the time. For some reason it was considered redheads could not wear red. Even my sister Audrey, whom I considered to be just about the smartest girl in Renfrew County had no explanation either. So all the elegant pieces of clothing Aunt Lizzie sent our way, always ended up being made over for Audrey. Uncle Jack's suits were made into skirts or jumpers for me and my sister. They would be taken apart, seam by seam, and then those seams would be flattened out with a hot-iron and a dampened tea towel. Why Mother didn't simply cut them off was beyond me. But of course, that would be wasting a couple of inches of perfectly good serge material and that would never do. Never were Uncle Jack's suits made over for my brothers. They were used
to breaks and overalls, and Father was bone thin and Uncle Jack as round as a balloon, so Audrey and I always ended up with serge skirts and jumpers, which gave me special joy since I knew they had once been on the back of someone who held down a very important job many miles away. My two cousins, I figured, must have been pretty spoiled by Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Jack, because one or two shirts that looked like they had just come out of a store were usually in the hand-medown box too. And this is where the fight began between two of my three brothers. We had never seen our cousins from Regina, but they must have been about the same size as my brothers, because mostly, the fancy shirts fit Everett and Emerson like they had been made for them ... poor Earl, much smaller, wasn't lucky enough to get a shirt from
HURRYIN
Regina! When the box was emptied, it was chopped up for kindling for the Findlay Oval. I often wondered if Aunt Lizzie ever wondered how much every last bit of the hand-me-down box was put to good use. Anything that couldn't be made over was put into the rag bag, some of it was saved for making braided rugs, and everything else ended up on our backs. When the hand-medown box arrived from Regina, every one of us got something out of it, and helped ease the pain of the Depression that was all around us.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Lanark County is flying the flag. While the red-and-white maple leaf is, naturally, front and centre, another red-and-white flag is also flying in Perth this month. The kickoff to the Lanark County United Way's (UW) fall campaign began with the raising of the UW flag over the Lanark County council offices in Perth on Tuesday, Oct. 2. The flag raising had been preceded by a similar flag raising in front of Lanark Lodge nearby. In his former profession as a social worker, Lanark County Warden John Fenik said that "I could see the good work that the United Way does." The last time he attended a UW flag raising it was also rainy, but Fenik took that morn-

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

ALZHEIMER'S SOCIETY RAISES FLAG AT TOWN HALL TO KICK OFF FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN WORLD ALZHEIMER'S DAY WAS OBSERVED ON SEPT. 21 The Town of Smiths Falls raised the Alzheimer Society flag on Sept. 20, 2018, to kick off the Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville's Coffee Break Campaign and to celebrate World Alzheimer's Day on Sept. 21. In the tri-county area the local society serves, there are approximately
3,900 people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia and this number does not include caregivers who also need support. Currently there are 564,000 Canadians living with dementia and that number is expected to increase to 937,000 in 15 years with approximately 25,000 people being newly diagnosed each year. Coffee Break® is an annual national fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society and all proceeds from local
events remain in our communities to support our programs and services. It is a third party event where you host a social gathering in your home, office, service club, church, hospital, school, retirement or long-term care facility, park or any place you choose to gather your friends, family, neighbours, parishioners, co-workers or clients. You can host it anywhere coffee or other items can be served. You can host a tradition-

Huge thank you for all the donations the Lanark Animal Welfare Society has received to help with the renovations of the shelter! We're very excited to announce that renovations will start by the time you read this column. A very large part of the building will be demolished and rebuilt. It should last for the remainder of the year. We kindly ask that you not drop off any more new cats or kittens. We simply can't handle it and don't have the space. Call the shelter at 613-283-9308 if you have questions. Should you be interested in fostering some of our cats then please look at our website or Facebook page for more information or send a message to shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. Thank you! We are blessed with the help of our Pet Valu stores in Almonte, Perth and Carleton Place, as well as the Natural Pet Foods store in Carleton Place. They'll continue to receive our adoptable cats. We'll try to update our available cats' pages as fast as we can but it is always best to click on their full picture to read from where they can be adopted. Microchip clinic/adoption weekend
Almonte. Ozara Ozara is a pretty, all grey young female who gets along well with the other cats she has met. Ozara is playful and would do well in any household where she can grow up a little more and is offered a steady routine with lots of encouragement and love and attention. Ralph Ralph found his way to the shelter one day. On his own? We don't know. It took a few days of feeding him outside before he was trapped. Initially not very happy being in a cage (for an adjustment time only), he's now playing in the cat runs with several other cats. He's the friendliest, handsome grey/white guy you can imagine. He follows you around and loves to be handled. Ralph is available in Carleton Place at the Natural Pet Foods store. Whitney Our latest office cat is Whitney. She's absolute adorable and loves to walk around the shelter while sitting on your shoulder. She seems to like to see the world from up high. Maybe because she's deaf ?! Despite her hearing loss, she already caught four mice at the shelter. Unbelievable! She's the first one you'll see when you come to LAWS. She's a dilute calico with lovely faded orange markings on her overall grey medium long hair. Please adopt her from LAWS. Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

CANNABIS AND YOU
SMITHS FALLS POLICE, BYLAW OFFICERS TO SHARE ENFORCEMENT ROLES COME CANNABIS LEGALIZATION Continued from front
ing by the rules come legalization. Morris said the town expects to get clarity on this when the legislation is expected to be passed into law over the next several weeks. Despite the ambiguity, the town has divided roles for enforcement between police and bylaw officials.
WHAT WILL POLICING ISSUES BE?
insideottawavalley.com
R0013021901
• Drug-impaired driving offences. • Illegal (non-licensed storefronts). • Illegal cannabis production (greater than four plants per household). • Possibly public consumption. Const. Aaron Tompkins, Smiths Falls Police Service's community service officer, acknowledged that the lack of clarity on exactly what the enforcement will look like come Oct. 17 makes it difficult for police to plan and educate the public in advance on what will and what will not be allowed and who will be the enforcement body come cannabis legalization, when the rules surrounding cannabis are changing so rapidly with the newly formed Conservative government. But while some rules will be changing, some will not. What won't change with legalization is how police enforce impaired driving and illegal cannabis production things they've always done. Tompkins said police don't have is a comparable
measure to assess impairment like they do with alcohol. Instead, officers rely on observation to assess intoxication. Tompkins reported that the SFPS has one officer trained as a drug recognition expert (DRE) and approximately half of all frontline staff are trained to conduct field sobriety tests. The SFPS will not be using oral swabs. Tompkins said there will be a lot of things to get used to. For instance, while people might know how much they can or can't drink before getting behind the wheel, they might not know their limits with cannabis. "It's going to be a lot of public education," he said. Tompkins is making rounds in the community, visiting with local stakeholders, community groups and businesses to help people understand the shift that will be taking place this month. "It's going to be a big learning curve for society in general," he said. The Smiths Falls police have already shut down an illegal storefront that popped up in town recently. Tompkins reported that police responded to the storefront after receiving a complaint. He said although it wasn't clear whether they were actually selling cannabis out of the storefront he believes "that was their intention."
• Nuisance complaints within the scope of the town's nuisance bylaw. • Possibly public consumption depending on the powers of search and seizure provided in the yet-to-be passed regulations. • Possibly enforcement of the Smoke Free Ontario Act and the resultant provincial offences act administration. The town says more information is needed as it pertains to the primary enforcement for the proposed Smoke Free Ontario Act, 2017. Morris said as its proposed in the act as it stands, the health unit would be responsible for enforcement. The town expects this to become clearer as legalization gets closer. There are a small number of both bylaw officers and tobacco enforcement officers for the area. What also remains hazy is how much control municipalities will have on where pot shops will be located and how many will be located within their municipalities. What also remains unclear is how much control municipalities will have on controlling where people will be allowed to smoke or consume cannabis - if their wishes go beyond the scope of what the Smoke Free Ontario Act dic-

tates. In September, Premier Doug Ford's office announced that smoking cannabis would be legal anywhere smoking tobacco is legal. In the same month, Ontario's Attorney General Caroline Mulroney and Finance Minister Vic Fedeli announced plans to allow private cannabis retail in the province. Ontarians will only be able to purchase cannabis online until April 2019. The province announced that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario will license private cannabis stores in Ontario communities. The province will operate online cannabis retailing starting Oct. 17. Municipalities can opt out of having cannabis retail sites in their communities by Jan. 22, 2019. This will be a decision for the newly formed council that will be elected this month. If council opts out, they can opt back in at a later but yet to be stated, date. If council opts in, they can't opt out. Morris said that councils will need more information, and time, to make informed decisions on whether to allow cannabis retail sites in their municipalities. The Town of Smiths Falls has advocated for a cannabis retail site at the Tweed production facility.

A nursing bursary took her to the Brockville School of Nursing graduating 1964 then a career in hospitals, a doctor’s office, Public Health and Homes for Special Care. Always clever with numbers, she returned to college in the early 80’s and became a computer programmer working in the Ottawa area. Marnie’s loves included world travels, camping, music, theatre, a good book, games, puzzles, her dogs, her friends and me, her partner in life for 42 years. She had a great sense of humour and a dry wit. Sincere thanks go to the loving and attentive staff of Lanark Lodge. A gathering to honour Marnie’s life will be held in The Loft at Codes Mill on Sunday October 14, 2018. Visitation with family and friends from 1:00 to 2:00 pm followed by a memorial service for those wishing to attend. Private interment at a later date, St. James Anglican, Innisville.

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

Forever loved and missed, Mom

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

CANDIDATES ANSWER VETTED QUESTIONS Continued from page 23
enhanced tourism space and space for residents. I don't think there is any point to lobby Parks Canada, they own the land. Gallipeau: I'm one of the ones who was in support of the campground in its current location. Whether you're a boater or an RV-er you're still a tourist, you're going to spend money in Smiths Falls. What I'd like to see done is upgrade the campground to attract people into Smiths Falls. The more people you bring in, the more it helps the economy. I support sending the letter the Chamber has asked for. Question: Has anyone seen the bridge to Turtle Island? Gallipeau: Part of that bridge they said was salvaged for part of the new bridge, but they neglected to tell us where the rest of the bridge went. The rest of the bridge went to a scrap dealer and put through their machine for scrap metal. Question: Categorize your first priority for infra-
structure repair and what this will look like at the end of your four-year term. Pankow: We have three significant projects that we need to complete in this term of council - Beckwith Street redevelopment, water tower replacement, revitalization of the Lombard and Abbott intersection. Beckwith Street has aging infrastructure that is in need of replacement. The water tower does not meet the needs of the community. Recently, it has sprung leaks. A water main break over the winter led to a situation where the water tower lost 75 per cent of the water in 15 minutes, which could have had a serious impact in the event of a fire in town at the same time. Likely, we would have had to bring tankers in from another community. The addition of turn lanes and smart signalization at the Abbott and Lombard intersection is needed - all that can be done. In total, these three projects are valued at approximately $20 million. I will continue to lobby for funding from other levels of gov-
ernment. We received some $7 million in grants this term of council, allowing the town to do around $20 million worth of work. Gallipeau: The one project that we're working on now is the Beckwith Street sewer and water separation and the new water line. We did receive a grant valued at around $1 million. So far, as a councillor, I still don't have a total estimate of what this is going to cost. In talking with other communities, we're going to need another $6-7 million to make this work. Some towns have paid $10 million to do what we're planning on the main street. The priority will be where do we come up with the rest of the money for Beckwith Street before we start on anything else. We've got $6 million here, $8 million for a water tower and $2 million to correct the Lombard intersection. We better find a gold mine, real quick. This work doesn't need to be done in one term. It's going to take more than four years to get
this work done, unless we can get grants. There's no way the taxpayers of Smiths Falls can afford to do it. I'm a strong supporter of getting Confederation Bridge back and will make it affordable. I would help ease traffic congestion and ease traffic flow. The priority will be identifying where do we come up with the rest of the money for Beckwith Street before we start on anything else. Pankow: I spoke with the province about connecting links funding at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference about Beckwith Street and the Lombard/ Abbot intersection. A lot of the work that has been done in this term of council has been done with connecting link funding. That's why these projects are phased - to account for grant applications and the possibility for funding. Question: Do you believe the mayor should bring all issues to the council chambers rather than acting solely on some of these issues? Pankow: Any decision of council comes to the council chambers. Certainly, we have one vote each. However, I have things that come across my desk and meetings, such as with developers who may not want
certain things in the public eye when projects are in their early stages. But everything comes before council to make decisions. I will continue to do that work, which includes lobbying - a job that is done behind closed doors. Gallipeau: That's exactly my position. I have one vote, the same as councilors. There are going to be issues, as Shawn said, that as a mayor you have to deal with that you need to do on your own until such time as it comes before council. Question: How would you pledge town resources to a proposed commuter rail line, like Go Transit in the Greater Toronto Area, brought up by a mayoral candidate in Ottawa? Pankow: Via Rail has a major expansion plan in front of the minister of transportation. We expect an answer by the end of this year. It's a $3.5 billion investment from the federal government that would enable Via to expand service in the Quebec-Windsor corridor, which would mean improved service from Smiths Falls to Ottawa and Brockville. It's a strong initiative and has a lot of merit. Secondly, the Moose initiative - a regional transit system that would be spok-
ing out from Ottawa into 43 Gatineau and into the Ottawa Valley. They are working with the City of Ottawa and the federal government. I would be surprised if we don't see some enhanced rail service over the next four years. Gallipeau: Since I've been on council for four years, I've been an advocate of getting a rail service to Ottawa from Smiths Falls to at least multiple times a day. It would allow students and workers a way to get back and forth with ease. The future of our community depends on efficient transportation - we all know our roads aren't that great. We don't have four lane highways like Carleton Place. We do have rails. Question: Are you in favour of having a question and answer period at council's committee of the whole? Gallipeau: I would be in favour of that on a pilot project only. I think we could see how it goes. Pankow: I agree with councillor Gallipeau, I think we could run it on a pilot basis and see how it goes. – Questions and responses have been edited for clarity and length.For the full story visit us online at insideottawavalley.com.

WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER FAILING TO PAY TAXI FARE EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com On Thursday, Oct. 4, at approximately 4:44 a.m., police were called to attend a residence on Aberdeen Avenue for a report of a female who had obtained a taxi to transport her from a downtown business. Police say an investigation revealed that the 32year-old female suspect, of Smiths Falls, did not have money to pay for the outstanding fare and that she was intoxicated. The suspect failed to identify herself to police and she was subsequently placed under arrest. Police say, while conducting the arrest, the suspect punched an officer in the face. The suspect was transported to the Smiths Falls Police Service and stands charged with: obtaining transportation by fraud, assaulting a peace officer,
and two breaches of her probation release conditions. The suspect was later released by way of a promise to appear in court and officer in charge undertaking with conditions.
MAN ARRESTED FOR OUTSTANDING ARREST WARRANT On Thursday, Oct. 4, at approximately 10:47 a.m., a 29-year-old male suspect turned himself into police for an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The warrant was issued after the suspect failed to attend court on Oct. 1, 2018, for outstanding drug related charges. The suspect now faces an additional charge of failing to appear in court and was later released by police by way of a promise to appear and officer in charge undertaking with
conditions.
