Birthday wishes are extended to Andrea Chartrand, who celebrated her birthday on Nov. 8. We hope that you had a lovely birthday Andrea.

Gabriel Malette of Gatineau, Que. grandson of Huguette and Garry Malette will celebrate his . . .

12th birthday on Nov. 12. We hope that you enjoy your special day Gabriel.

I sure hope that everyone is enjoying this summer-like weather. It is suppose to last until Thursday and it is a good time to finish up all those outside jobs that need to be done before winter sets in.

Today, Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day. Let us all offer up a silent prayer for those wonderful men and women who unselfishly sacrificed their lives so that we could live in this wonderful, free country. In the case of my generation, freedom and democracy are gifts that were handed down to us by previous generations who struggled through world wars to earn those gifts. “Lest We Forget.”
