Remember when cosmetic surgery was a completely taboo subject? Now, you mention Botox and nobody raises an eyebrow. Well, like many people of a certain age, the lighthouse in the village has been showing some wear and tear from time (and gravity), and like many people fighting age (and gravity) the lighthouse will be getting some TLC. A nip and tuck, some cosmetic adjustments, a bit of a facelift as it were. We are assuming that afterwards it will look a little lighter and will be turning heads!
Congratulations to quintessential Kagawongian, Mary Buie! Having raised over $2700 for this year’s CIBC Run for the Cure, she was among the top three fundraisers for the Sudbury event! About a dozen supporters of Mary came out on Sunday as she led a pink-clad parade on a 3-km walk through the village to raise awareness. Well done, Mary! You are an amazing inspiration!
There is a planned power outage on Saturday October 23rd from 8am - 5pm. It will affect most of Manitoulin. It’s never too early to plan ahead. Case in point: Manitoulin used to have an ice making company and they didn’t take any precautions for the last major planned outage and they went into liquidation.
Got extra pumpkins and decorative squash? It’s time to make Kagawong look autumn gourd-geous!

Check out https://www.manitoulin.com/harvest-glory-days/ for more information.
Happy belated birthday to Kagawongian-by-marriage Kathryn B who turned 29 on Saturday. Tomorrow, Jamie F will be celebrating his 29th as well. Remember, it’s never too late to become what you want. Unless what you want to become is younger.

Have you ever considered that Amazon was actually invented by cats trying to find a way to get more cardboard boxes into their homes? As unlikely as that sounds, it’s always a paws-ibility. Have a great week!
