Cowboy Junkies released a string of fall dates; one of them is Burlington. The Cowboy Junkies are bringing their distinctive style to The Burlington Performing Arts Centre Saturday, October 13 at 8pm.
Whether commenting on the fragile state of the world or on personal relationships, this new collection of songs encourages the listener to take notice. It also may be the most powerful album Cowboy Junkies have yet recorded.
 In no particular order: Alan Anton (bassist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer) and Margo Timmins (vocalist).[1] The three Timmins are siblings In the late 80’s, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. Their now classic album, The Trinity Session (celebrating 30 years), was like a whisper that cut through the noise and sold more than a million copies.
Cowboy Junkies have always remained true to their unique vision, creating a critically acclaimed body of work that has endeared them to an audience unwavering in its loyalty.
In addition to The Trinity Session, albums like Pale Sun, Crescent Moon (1993), Lay It Down (1996) and more recently, Open (2001), and At the End of Paths Taken (2007) chronicle a creative journey reflecting the independent road the band has elected to travel.

The province of Ontario is taking action to keep Ontario’s kids safe and demonstrating its commitment to making sports safer by marking Rowan’s Concussion Law Day. The province is developing a multimedia campaign that will raise awareness about concussion safety.
 It’s graphic – but the point gets made. Is this what we want to do to our kids in the name of sports. The campaign will get concussion safety information in front of the Ontarians who need it most.
“Reducing the risk of concussions is always the goal. But concussions happen and knowing what to do – whether you’re an athlete, a parent, a coach or a teacher – can save lives,” said Sylvia Jones, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. “We’ll honour Rowan Stringer’s memory by launching a province-wide multimedia campaign to raise awareness about concussion safety.”
 A concussion is a head injury caused by moving forces such as a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, that results in a variety of symptoms and temporary changes in mental status, coordination, and balance. Definitions are constantly updated based upon new research, but a concussion is a form of a traumatic brain injury. In fact, it’s the most common traumatic brain injury. After a concussion, the symptoms that occur differ from patient to patient. These include headaches, dizziness, vision problems, trouble concentrating, feeling slowed down, repeated vomiting, sleep problems, and even irritability and sadness. Symptoms may not even appear for days or weeks after the injury. Concussions represent nearly a quarter of Ontario student injuries treated by a doctor or nurse. Ontario students who report a head injury are more than twice as likely to report very high emotional distress and to report less success in academics.
Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Children, Community, and Social Services, sponsored Rowan’s Concussion Law in the Legislative Assembly, where it was adopted in March, 2018.
Better late than never – this should have been done year’s ago.

Burlington Member of Parliament and Minister of Democratic Institutions reports to her constituents. On Sunday she faces a re- nomination meeting
Gould reports:
The House has been back in session for a week now and we`ve picked up right where we left off!
This week we will be debating Canada`s first ever Federal Accessibility legislation as well as important legislation on amendments to the Divorce Act. One of the first items of business upon our return was the ratification of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) – an important piece of legislation that will help us diversify our trade markets abroad.
 Gould In the House while Obama speaks As we enter the fall, the negotiations on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) continue in earnest. Our Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chrystia Freeland, have been adamant: we will continue to negotiate in good faith but we will not sign a deal that is bad for Canada. I had the honour at the end of June to stand shoulder to shoulder with Minister Freeland and our Steel workers at the Stelco plant in Hamilton as we announced our counter tariffs to the United States trade action on Steel and Aluminum. We will continue to stand up for Canadians and Canadian industry.
Over the summer I also had the privilege of holding my second annual Seniors Symposium. Thanks to everyone who came out to hear Dr. Parminder Raina discuss optimal aging and share your thoughts on how we can develop a healthy aging strategy across Canada. I was also delighted to welcome my colleague, the Hon. Jean-Yves Duclos to Burlington to announce that the Canada Child Benefit was increased to match the cost of living. In Burlington, over 17,850 children benefit from the CCB. If you or someone you know is eligible for government benefits and not receiving them, please contact my office for more information. My team would be happy to help you.
 Over two dozen volunteers braved the wind and cleaned up Burlington Beach. This was part of a Canada-wide effort to clean up our shorelines. September has been full of great community events. I want to thank everyone who came out to our Community Clean Up on September 8th. Over two dozen volunteers braved the wind and cleaned up Burlington Beach. This was part of a Canada-wide effort to clean up our shorelines.
As the host of this year`s G7, the Government of Canada is leading world efforts to end plastic pollution and clean up our waterways. Six garbage bags and 2 bags of recycling were collected from our beach. I was proud to announce on September 10th, $525,000 to the Royal Botanical Gardens for their wetlands rehabilitation program. Our government is committed to protecting our natural environment here in Burlington and across Canada.
We have a full agenda here in Ottawa this fall, but I will look forward to seeing you around the community when I`m back in town.
Enjoy the crisp weather and have a wonderful autumn!
There are some, the Gazette included, that had hoped the government would bring about some of the changes in the way our elections are run that the Liberals campaigned. First past the post is proving to be problematic – look at election results in British Columbia, Ontario and New Brunswick.
There is a better way; it does however call for political courage.

It wasn’t as pleasant a debate as you might have thought.
 Shawna Stolte answering questions during the ward 4 “debate”. Shawna Stolte was in considerable physical pain during the more than an hour and a half debate.
She had been hospitalized earlier in the month with a kidney stone problem. She thought it was completely passed. It wasn’t.
The night of the debate she was heavily medicated and had brought a small plastic bucket she thought she might have to use if her stomach got the best of her.
Even though medicated, the ward 4 candidate hung in and went through the event.
The evening for Stolte started with her not know if she was going to debate the incumbent or just have a conversation with moderator Mark Carr.
Jack Dennison showed up at the 30 minute point and the conversation turned into questions being asked and answers given.
 Mark Carr moderating.] Carr did make one difference with this debate. He allowed a candidate to question a candidate if they had been mentioned in a response.
Prior to this decision there was no room for direct debate between the two candidates. There was no opportunity for one candidate to put a question directly to the other candidate.
Dennison didn’t say he was going to take part in the debate – he said he might. The organizers were never able to say for certain that Dennison was going to take part.
There were something in the order of 125 people in the Nelson high school auditorium. Some observers felt the turn out was as low as it was because they assumed Dennison wasn’t going to show up.
His difficulty in getting to the debate was due to a Council meeting taking place the same evening.
 Councillor Jack Dennison – late for the start of the debate – and without an apology to his opponent. Dennison had been given the option of having the debate take place on a different date. He had six days to inform the organizers. When the noon deadline came and went without a response the organizers stayed with the date on which the Council meeting was taking place.
Dennison said he “might” be able to make it.
The result was to leave the only other candidate running against Dennison in some doubt as to whether or not she was actually going to see the incumbent on the stage.
Given all this Shawna Stolte acquitted herself very well.
Few people know that when she decided to run for the ward 4 seat Stolte made an appointment to meet with Dennison in his city hall office. He may have thought she was there to measure the place for new drapes. She was there to introduce herself; that level of decency has been part of Stolte’s approach throughout this election.

Members of the Halton Partners for Car Seat Safety recently conducted a Car Seat Inspection Clinic at the Wellspring Church on New Street in Burlington. This group is a collaboration of the Halton Regional Police Service, the Halton Region Health Department, the OPP, the four municipal Fire Services and a number of community volunteers.
In the course of the clinic, police officers interacted with all drivers performing cursory checks of car seats and identifying those requiring further inspection.
 Learning how to set up the car seat correctly. Officers conduct these inspections under the authority of the Highway Traffic. Occupied car seats form part of a vehicle’s equipment.
Police conducted 90 inspections (the 5-point ‘quick’ inspection).
Results:
Link to Ministry of Transportation web site – detailed instructions.
Some noteworthy observations:
• Children showing up in a booster when they should still be in a 5-point harness
• Many untethered or loosely tethered forward-facing car seats were identified.
• A number of boosters were inspected where it was determined that parents had not installed supplied screws in the armrests.
The Halton Partners for Car Seat Safety recommend parents and guardians to read and follow all manufacturers’ instructions when installing a car seat. For car seat resources in your area, dial 311 for information.

While summer has slipped away on us – and we are into fall and pumpkins and leaves that will be changing their colour and falling to the ground – we might want to take a look at the plants in a tiny garden on Elgin Street.
 It is referred to as the Apeldoorn Garden – put in place to recognize and remember our sister city in Holland.
Wow! Resplendent! Vigorous! Glorious!
Nature at its finest.
Kudo’s to the gardeners who put those plants in place.
Imagine what it must be like for those people fortunate enough to walk past these plants on their way to work or downtown to meet friends.

The Election Returning officer ensures tat the rules to be followed during an election are clear.
A third party advertisement is an advertisement in any broadcast, print, electronic or other medium that has the purpose of promoting, supporting or opposing a candidate in the election, or a “yes” or “no” answer to a question on the ballot.
A third party advertiser is any individual, corporation or trade union that causes an election campaign advertisement to appear.
The city recently released the name of a third party advertiser: Jennifer Beleck.
The Gazette reached out to Ms Beleck – there has been no response to date.
We made inquiries – Ms Beleck is believed to be associated with the parents at Bateman high school who oppose the closing of the school in 2020.
Ward 5 Councillor Sharman works closely with the Bateman parents.
The question posed by the people the Gazette talked to is – who is Beleck representing and what kind of election advertising are we likely to see?
And where will the money for the advertising come from?
Who has the most to lose if any of the incumbents are not reelected?
All questions to ask when you see advertising in local media.
Be vigilant. Follow the dots and follow the money.

The transformation of the Joseph Brant museum is coming along just fine. The construction work is on time and the target of an opening in 2019 should be met.
 Construction of the transformed Brant Museum well underway. The replica of the original house has been shifted around the site several times. It is now where it will eventually rest – just a little positioning to get the front of the house facing in the direction that has it overlooking the lake.
 The house will sit on top of the new museum that is being built underground.  Architectural rendering of what the completed transformation of the Brant museum is expected to look like. The house will not be a part of the museum the public will be able to visit. It will be used for museum staff and administrative purposes.
Few people know that the building of a replica of the original house that was destroyed by fire was slipped into a fund that was in place for the construction of the original Queen Elizabeth Way. T.B. McQueston was a Liberal Minister at the time who believed that gardens and good art should be a part of every public work.
The Museum will have a permanent exhibit of Joseph Brant lightnings and artifacts.

He did show up.
Jack Dennison left the city Council meeting that was taking place Monday evening and drove to Nelson high school to be a late in arriving candidate to take part in a debate with ward 4 candidate for the council seat Dennison holds.
 Councillor Jack Dennison ‘debating” ward 4 candidate Shawna Stolte. Prior to Dennison’s arrival Shawna Stolte sat in a chair and had a conversation with moderator Mark Carr.
It was a very typical polite Burlington conversation. There were no points scored by either candidate. There was actually more agreement between the two than differences with “ditto” being the response more than once.
The two candidates reached over and shook hands several times during the ‘debate’.
You don’t remove a 20 year plus incumbent with that kind of a performance.
There was a respectful audience but the high school auditorium was certainly not full.
The Gazette will comment at length on the “debate’ when the video of the event is available.

We expect a 15 year old girl and a 17 year old boy to be in school completing an education.
 Two young people who cannot be identified because of their age were arrested yesterday when police apprehended them driving an SUV that had been stolen in Guelph earlier and was noticed by Headon Forest residents who noticed it driving erratically with a flat tire.
Just before 9:00 am yesterday Halton police arrest two youths in the stolen vehicle.
Citizen observed several youths driving this vehicle with one flat tire.
Police quickly located the Nissan SUV in the area. As police investigated the stopped vehicle, the male driver accelerated away as an officer approached the vehicle causing the officer to jump to the side. The officer did not suffer any injuries. Police attempted to pull over the Nissan SUV which led police on a low speed pursuit over a very short distance while driving on flat tire. Police quickly arrested two youths after the Nissan SUV stopped after hitting a curb.
A 17-year-old male young person from the City of Hamilton who cannot be identified due to his age was held for a bail hearing and will appear next in Milton Youth Court on September 25th 2018, and will be charged with the following:
• Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000

 “I don’t want to hear anymore delegations” said Councillor Jack Dennison. The question in the middle of the day is – Will Jack Dennison excuse himself from a city council meeting this evening and take part in the debate with the woman running against him for the ward 4 city council seat.
Dennison has flip flopped on participating in the debate. It was – I want to see the questions first – then he had no confidence in the people who organized the debate.
 People just kept walking into the room for the ward 5 debate – three additional rows of chairs had to be set out. The ward 6 debate was just as well attended. The more than 500 people who have attended debates for ward 5 and 6 candidates didn’t have any problems with the way the debates went.
Both are here for viewing.

 Shawna Stolte – ward 4 candidate for city council Mark Carr, moderator of the debate this evening at MM Robinson high school, is going to have to get imaginative and creative to have a debate with no one else on the stage.

The Performing Arts Centre launches the 2018/2019 season with The Jim Cuddy Band on Friday, October 5 at 8pm. Joining The Jim Cuddy Band are special guests Devin Cuddy and Sam Polley.
 Jim Cuddy For over 35 years, Jim Cuddy has written songs that have become indelible in the soundtrack of Canadian lives. With the release of his fourth solo album, Constellation, he adds ten songs to that extraordinary songbook.
As one of the founding members and creative forces behind Blue Rodeo, Cuddy has received nearly every accolade Canada can bestow upon a musician, from the Order of Canada and induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, to countless JUNO Awards and a Star on Canada’s Walk of Fame. Behind it all, is a simple devotion to his craft as a songwriter, which remains Cuddy’s tireless pursuit after more than three decades.
“I’ve always found fascination in the smallest details of human behavior,” says Cuddy of his songwriting. “It has been something that I look at and remember, whether it is the details of an exchange that I witnessed or an exchange that I have. Of course, as you get older there are bigger things that happen in your life that you realize you’ll never totally understand. There never seems to be a loss of things to write about.”
 Jim Cuddy – “as you get older there are bigger things that happen in your life that you realize you’ll never totally understand.” Cuddy’s creative drive led him, in 1998, to launch a solo career in conjunction with Blue Rodeo. With Constellation, he continues to find new ways to balance personal reflection and plainspoken storytelling, remaining both intimate and accessible.
The 2018/2019 BPAC season will also include, Capturing Pablo Escobar: An Evening with Javier Pena and Steve Murphy, Cirque Le Roux: The Elephant In The Room, John McDermott Christmas, Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company, Mike Super: Magic & Illusion, Antonio Sanchez: BiRDMAN LiVE, and Gowan.
