No joy in Sydenham as Junior Golden Eagles defeated

by Jeff Green The Sydenham Golden Eagles Junior Football team got off to a great start in their game against the Frontenac Secondary School Falcons at Richardson Stadium in Kingston on Saturday afternoon (November 5). The two teams had been the class of the KASSAA (Kingston and Area Secondary School Athletics Association) League this year and were facing each other in the final.

The Golden Eagles got an early interception, and quickly scored a touchdown midway through the first quarter. They rode that momentum throughout the first half, and went to the locker room with a 12-2 lead at half time.

In the third quarter, however, the Frontenac Falcons began to establish their ground game, chewing up 5 or 6 yards a pop using effective mis-direction to keep the Sydenham Golden Eagles front line off balance. This in turn made their passing game more effective. Late in the third quarter they scored a touchdown, and after a successful conversion the score was Sydenham 12, Frontenac 9 as they headed into the 4th quarter.

The Falcons defense kept shutting the Golden Eagles down, and while the Golden Eagles defence was able to keep them in the game, the Falcons marched down the field as time was running out. A final defensive stand by Sydenham prevented what would certainly have been a game winning touchdown, but the Falcons settled for a field goal with 2 minutes to go to tie the game at 12.

As the clock ran down, the Golden Eagles finally penetrated into the Falcons end. A punt at the buzzer made it into the Falcons end zone for a potential game winning safety but was easily run out to the 10 yard line by the returner.

In the overtime shootout both teams failed to score from the others 35 yard line on the first try.

The Golden Eagles came close to scoring on this drive late in the first half of the KASSAA final. They never came as close again, losing a heatbreaker in overtime Then on the second attempt, the Frontenac Falcons re-established their running game, earning two quick first downs.

With the ball just outside of the ten yard line, a pass and run took them to the 2 yard line. That was all their front line needed, as they pushed the defensive line back on the next play and the ball was run into the end zone.

The Golden Eagles had one more chance but failed to get

olice cruisers and a helicopter used the former Hinchinbrooke Public School as a staging area on Monday afternoon (November 7) as they conducted a search for Ben Hannah (52) of Tichborne, who had not been seen since leaving his house at 12:30 pm on November 1st.

Hannah lived in the vicinity of Parham/Tichborne in Hinchinbrooke District, Central Frontenac.

a first down, and it was over. They went down to a 19-12 season ending defeat.

Flinton Remembrance Day

The Northbrook Legion branch 328 organised a well attended ceremony of remembrance last Sunday,(November 6) under bright blue skies and crisp autumn temperatures in Finton.

Local cadets led by Tim Trickey stood watch as a parade of veterans and community elders laid wreathes in memory of

venerable institutions and family members who have passed away. Among the many who attended the ceremony, young and old, the most cherished was 92 year of Gordon Wood, a D-Day veteran who still lives in Flinton. The ceremony was followed by a lunch, courtesy of Branch 38, at the nearby Raise the Roof Ministry building.

New rink in Sharbot Lake one step closer CF Council report

by Jeff Green he Oso Recreation has long hoped to build an outdoor rink at the Oliver Scott Memorial Park, the ball field that is located next to Granite Ridge Education Centre, and at Council this week Jeremy Neven, Manager of Development Services, presented a set of drawings for a rink that is located within all the required setbacks in the zoning bylaw, and that has the blessing of the Public Works Manager as far as distance from Road 38 is concerned.

T

“I must say I was surprised by how much room there was for a rink,” said Neven.

Rec committee members intend to build a change room/ washroom and a canteen as well on the site, for use in the winter and for the ball field in the summer time.

In his report, Neven said “in addition to the Rec. Committees fund raising efforts, plans are being made to engage township staff to ensure monies are collected and receipted appropriately, setbacks and building codes are met and public works are not affected.”

While all systems are go for the project as far as the planning issues are concerned, it is left to the local committee to raise the necessary funds to put up the rink.

Emergency culvert replacement Interim Public Works Manager Mike Richardson came to council to talk about a large culvert at 4th Lake Road in Hinchinbrooke ward.

Because of the low water levels, the culvert, which is normally always half full of water, has been left dry. This allowed township roads staff to inspect it, and when it looked suspicious, Richardson himself walked through it.

“I’m not that glad that I did,” he said, “I found it was in a sorry state.”

Richardson said the culvert will likely collapse if left in place until next spring. He suggested, and Council agreed, that he immediately approach three engineering companies to quote on engineering for the project.

It will be funded through reserves, which will have to be replenished in 2017, curtailing other potential road and bridge upgrades next year.

Facilities update Of the projects that were planned for this year, a number are completed or under construction. The Boat ramp at Big Gull Lake, a $20,000 project, has been completed. Construction is underway for the $220,000 addition to the Mountain Grove fire hall for a new library. A $31,000 project to update shelving in the Parham library has been completed.

The $20,000 range hood for in the kitchen at the Kennebec Fire Hall has been installed.

The fencing and lighting project at the Parham ball field, originally budgeted at $37,965, has gone over budget. Council approved an increase in spending to $49,445. The extra funds will come from the recreation reserve.

The township has also applied for a number of one time federal “Canada 150” infrastructure grants. They range from larger to smaller grants: $113,052 for the rink and building project at Oliver Scott Park in Sharbot Lake, $53,000 for the Thompson’s Cut Trail, $50,000 for the new Olden ball field, $6,600 for the Kennebec hall range hood, $1,650 for playground fencing at the Parham ball field, and $1,980 for the Parham ball field canteen water pressure system. No one knows exactly when the results of the massive nationwide grant program will be known.

New boat for building department In order to enforce the building code on island properties, council was asked to support the purchase of a boat

for $8,582.

Jeremy Neven said that the department is currently dependent on the property owners to ferry them across in their own boats, which raises a liability issue, “and can also lead to some uncomfortable boat rides back to shore if the properties fail our inspection.”

Icarus ascending The representatives from Icarus Power, who were rebuffed when they tried to address Council at the previous meeting because there was no township staff report available concerning the three solar power projects they were seeking municipal support for.

This time around, a staff report said they were well within the necessary setbacks for Feed in Tariff (FIT) projects, and they have also obtained signatures from neighbouring property owners in support of the projects. Council passed a motion of support for the 3 projects, two of which will generate 500 kw of power if approved, and the third 250 kw.

NFCS gets continued support for youth program Louise Moody, the Executive Director of Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS), outlined the extensive youth program that the agency has built over the past few years. With no provincial funding, but support from foundations and the municipalities of Central and North Frontenac, the program has increased its offerings for youth over the last three years.

NF Council November 4th ROMA electing new member

L

iz Huff, a board member of the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA), made a presentation to Council on Friday on the roles and benefits of being a board member for ROMA.

ROMA is an organization made up of elected councillors from across rural Ontario that lobbies the Provincial government to make changes at the municipal level. Huff, a Councillor in the Leeds/1000 Islands riding, explained that ROMA tries to find a common voice across municipalities in Ontario to try and deal with some of the issues that are specific to rural Ontario.

She cited rising policing costs, access to broadband internet, taxation issues, implications of cap and trade, and higher energy costs as some of the issues that ROMA is currently discussing and working on.

“You get ideas about service sharing and cost sharing by meeting other municipalities,” Huff said explaining how it can benefit North Frontenac to have a Councillor join ROMA. If a member of North Frontenac’s Council was to be elected into ROMA they’d be representing Zone

New Sign For Snow Road Community Centre Molly Hartin, from the South Palmerston Community Centre (SPCC), made a presentation to Council regarding updating the exterior sign at the Snow Road Community Centre.

Hartin had made a humerous Powerpoint which she screened before Council, that featured music by local musicians Kathryn Briggs and Terry Tufts and had the Councillors laughing at some humorous pictures. The SPCC told Council that the sign will cost just under $2900 to have sandblasted, reinstalled and repainted with the new logo.

They said it could cost an extra $1000 if the contractor has to pour a new footing for the sign.

“I wonder what the 2 councillors from Ward 3 think?”

Councillor Gerry Martin asked jokingly as both Councillors weren’t in attendance at the meeting.

Council approved the resolution for the sign and decided the monies would come from the Special Parks Ward 3 fund.

Part of Hartin’s presentation mocked the mess of signs that crowd Snow Road Station and that confuse new visitors to the area.

“Maybe we need to add a signage by-law as business arising?” Mayor Ron Higgins asked Council.

1% Municipal Tax Mayor Ron Higgins made a short report on an Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) meeting he attended last week where 80% of the attendees were in favour of adding a 1% “Municipal” tax in Ontario to cover the fiscal gap they’re experiencing in infrastructure and funding. Mayor Higgins was against the idea, which would

Royce Rosenblath of AH to retire at the end of the month

by Jeff Green n 1986 Royce Rosenblath took over from his father Joe as the “road boss” in the former township of Denbigh, Abinger and Ashby after his father had served in the role for 26 years. 29 years later, now serving under the title of the Roads and Waste Management Supervisor in the amalgamated township of Addington Highlands, he is leaving at the end of the November. In a letter that he delivered to Council on Monday (November 7), he said “I would like to thank Reeve Hogg and the Council, both present and

I

past, and the ratepayers of Addington HighSINCE 1970 lands for the opportunity to work with them for the past 29+ years ... I have enjoyed my employment and will miss working with my coworkers when my retirement day comes.

Please accept this letter as my official notice of retirement, my last day at Addington Highlands will be November 30, 2016.”

Councilor Tony Fritsch said to Rosenblath that “there is no doubt that there will be a hole to fill after you leave. No one has the same feel for the history of the township,

why decisions were made, what works and does not work.”

No reason was given for Rosenblath’s decision to retire, although in his letter he noted that he would like to thank Tanya [also a Rosenblath – his cousin by marriage] who has been acting as the Roads and Waste Manager for the past 3+ months.

He may have had more to say at an in camera meeting which followed the regular meeting of council.

Addington Highlands has also been undergoing an operational review this year,

and one of its recommendations was the establishment of a Chief Administrative Officer to oversee all township operations.

Currently it is one of a few townships where senior managers, such as the roads and waste manager, fire chief, and chief building official, all report directly to Council.

Two special meetings have been set for next week to discuss that review.

At the end of his letter Rosenblath said he will be “glad to provide whatever assistance I can to provide for a smooth transition.”

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole - Nov. 8

by Wilma Kenny he meeting began with a minute of silence for remembrance.

FIT 5.0 Solar Projects Two proposals were brought to Council hoping for Township endorsement which, although not essential to the final project, can be a help in getting further approval. The Icarus (Rutledge Road) application will come forward to next week’s Council meeting for consideration. The second one, Soventex/ Wintergreen, brought by David Hahn, had been turned down by last week’s Council meeting, on the grounds that they had not done the required preparatory presentation.

They will therefore have to wait for a formal notice of motion to reopen the matter.

OMB Review The province is seeking input into their current review of the OMB process. The Association of Municipalities has provided a position paper and a guide to the consultation. Described as “a dense document” by Councillor McDougall, this will be brought back for further discussion and recommendation at the next Committee of the Whole meeting, after Council members have some time to study it. The two core principles of the OMB reform seem to be: a greater role for municipalities, and the establishment of some form of adjudication process.

Committee Chair Term Appointments Staff requested clarification of the policy that chairs of committees should serve a maximum of two years. The Corporate Services Committee has asked how broadly this policy should apply: what about sub committees? Committees like the Pumpkin-

options at least the 1% puts it in our hands,” she said.

North Frontenac Looking At Consolidating Wards 2 and 3 Council had a conversation on Friday about amalgamating Wards 2 and 3 into one ward and having just two Wards in the township. The reasoning behind this is that then the two zones, Ward 1 and 2+3, would have closer to a 50/50 split of the population.

They decided to bring this idea to the public in June 2017 for discussion which would leave them time to implement the new system, if things changed, for the 2018 election.

bring sales taxation in Ontario up to 14%, from the current 13% (HST).

“The reason I’m upset is we’re helping the government to bail them out of a situation they’ve created,” Higgins said. “They’re trying to put a Bandaid on a problem that the provincial government created.”

“We were looking after our infrastructure quite well until we got hit with downloaded services,” Higgins said.

“I want to make sure that the AMO board understands my position even though it isn’t a majority,” said Higgins who was frustrated that that was the one option they were presenting.

Liz Huff from ROMA, who was still in the audience during this point of the meeting, spoke about the issue.

“AMO has been working on this for years.

It isn’t the only option they looked at. The basic premise is that property tax isn’t sufficient to sustain municipalities in Canada.

We now have a picture of what it would cost ($8.6 billion) to keep our infrastructure in shape versus what the ability of the property tax is, locally, to carry that.

“It seems to me we were told it would mean an 8% annual property tax increase on the average rural municipality in Ontario to carry that cost. Out of all the unappealing

Letters and provincial funds do not exist. How can you feel sorry for Anne-Marie Young and economic development making offers to purchase without funds to meet obligations.

There is an age-old answer in Luke 14-28 “for which of you, intending to build a tower (read trail) sitteth not down first and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it.”

With the county paying Eastern Ontario Trail Alliance for maintenance, and having a “no fee trail” sounds like an endless money pit.

After the Frontenac Renovates reserve is used up, what will be the next reserve to be drained?

A Trail Head in Verona would be a crowning gem for this endeavor.

Re: Hartington Protest Walk. (October 20 edition)

F

irst of all, I want to thank Frontenac News for covering the walk. As a community we are working hard to fund our fight to protect our vulnerable water supply. This proposed subdivision poses a very real threat to both the quantity and quality of our water.

Secondly, we did not organize this walk in protest of anything. It was a fund raiser. We are very proud of the women, mostly Grandmothers, who raised over $3000.00 with this walk.

Thirdly, I want to correct a statement that was made in the article. It was stated that "The walk was designed as a way to raise money for the appeal of a South Frontenac Township decision to approve a new subdivision that is to be put in Hartington."

The walk was indeed a fund raiser to gen-

If you are still a smoker and are going to have surgery soon, it’s a good idea to stop smoking for 4-6 weeks prior to the operation. Nicotine constricts the blood vessels and interferes with healing. Not smoking will help you recover more quickly from the surgery and who knows, you may never smoke again, which is a major positive for your future health.

Speaking of smokers, if you are a two pack per day smoker and stop today and you are 30 years old, you will extend your life by almost 8 years.

When your skin gets burned, it’s important to cool the skin right away. This will prevent further damage. Immersing in cold water for 20 minutes helps.

Most burns are minor, affecting only the top layer of skin. These are first-degree burns. A seconddegree burn goes deeper into the tissue and may result in blisters and pain. A third-degree burn goes through all layers of skin and may not hurt much because nerves have been destroyed. This burn needs professional help.

Pesticides are common in the growing of fresh fruits and vegetables. Products shown to contain the least amount of pesticide residue include: sweet corn, pineapples, cabbage, onions, asparagus, mangoes, papayas, kiwis, eggplant, and cauliflower. Buying organic should reduce pesticide exposure.

Love for cows takes local woman to Royal Winter Fair

was trying to find a calf for her daughter and learn how to care for it, Pearson noted wryly, “I had never even touched a calf before that. I didn’t know anything about cows.”

A retired family doctor who owns a small farm in Frontenac County, Pearson said affectionately about the 16 cows at the family farm, “It’s like looking after little kids.”

The family got serious about cows in 2011 when they purchased a calf in the “Sale of Stars” at the Royal Winter Fair.

“We stared at her hour-after-hour, she was so beautiful,” said Pearson about the purchase of the family’s first show heifer, which they soon discovered came from Eilevale Farm in South Frontenac.

Over the next few years, the family immersed themselves in the agricultural community in Frontenac County where Brown honed her skills as a master showman.

“Having a cow at the Royal Winter Fair is such a huge deal,” said Pearson who will be watching from a distance as her daughter competes in three classes over three days at the Royal Winter Fair this week.

“Teddy has upped the ante in this county,” said Pearson, “She’ll do her best to not do it badly.”

Focused on making the most of her last year at the most prestigious agricultural fair in Canada, Brown smiles when she talks about her future.

“I love the cows so much. I don’t see myself ever being away from them,” she said with a chuckle. “It’s weird, isn’t it?

I don’t know why I love them, I just do.”

Teddy Brown

Letter - continued from page 3

by Catherine Reynolds eddy Brown has loved cows longer than she has known them.

Standing in a barn at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto less than 18 hours before she is to represent Frontenac County in the 4-H Showmanship and Conformation class, she smiled when asked about the origins of her affection.

“I’ve always had a love and devotion to cows, without even petting them,” said the Elginburg native. “I think they’re good creatures that give so much to us. I just appreciate that. I don’t know why I love them, I just do.”

Unassuming and hardworking, Teddy is gaining national attention exhibiting her family’s superior line of Holsteins.

Her accomplishments seem even more impressive when compared to her arrival in 2010 on the Frontenac County 4-H scene at age 16 when she bought her first calf.

For the first year of 4-H, the girl and her calf were ranked at the bottom of every competition. After years of hard work and perseverance, she became a very accomplished showman, exhibiting some of the top heifers in Canada.

Now 22, Brown’s is enjoying her fifth and final year at the Royal Winter Fair at the 4-H competition; one of the biggest fairs in the world. In 2014, she won Reserve Grand Champion Calf at the TD 4-H Classic. In 2015, she won Grand

T

Champion Calf at the TD 4-H Classic. It was the highest 4-H accomplishment in Frontenac County in years.

This year, Brown plans to show the daughter of her winning cow from 2014.

“It’s neat to have the same family come back,” she said about her Calf Lily, who she was presenting on Nov. 8 in the Showmanship Class.

Poised to compete against the best cows and handlers in the Canada, Brown seems ready for the pressure.

“I feel good,” she replied when asked if she’s ready for the competition, which was starting a few hours later. “The cows have settled nicely and I’m not too nervous. I’m just trying to focus and get the job done.”

Brown calls this year’s fair bittersweet because it is the last time she can compete in 4-H, as she is at the age limit for 4-H. “It’s pretty cool,” Brown noted about how far she has come in the short time she has been working with cows.

I’ve had some pretty knowledgeable and influential people in this industry who have helped me along and I’m thankful for their support.”

Some of those supporters include Brown's partner Adam Hunt along with her mother, Mary Pearson.

Laughing at the memory of those early years when she

erate money for the appeal of the proposed subdivision. On August 23rd the Township voted to NOT support the subdivision.

The vote on draft plan of subdivision conditions was defeated 4 to 3 in a recorded vote, with 2 councillors absent. Mayor Vandewal, and Councillors McDougall and Sutherland voted in favour, Councillors Revill, Roberts, Schjerning, and Sleeth voted against, and Councillors Barr and Robinson were absent. The zoning change was also defeated.

Two of those who voted in favour, Mayor Vandewal and Councillor McDougall, are also South Frontenac's representatives on Frontenac County Council, which held a special meeting the next morning. County council voted to support the subdivision, despite of the vote at the Township meeting the previous night. Mayor Vandewal and Councillor McDougall voted in favour of the subdivision, again in spite of the results of the previous night.

Since this issue is going to the OMB, the most both Councils could do was to decide whether to support the application & the draft plan conditions at OMB. South Frontenac voted in essence to not support the application & draft plan conditions at OMB, while County Council voted to support the application & draft plan conditions. The decision is in the hands of the OMB. This is sending quite a mixed message. Township says no, County says yes- who speaks for the people who are at risk here? It seems that the Township, at least, is listening. Not all of them, but the majority is listening.

NAEC Trick or Eat will visit Flinton again!

T

he students of North Addington Education Centre suited up on October 31st in their Campbell’s Soup Costumes, to collect items for the food bank. For the first time ever, items were collected in Denbigh for the Denbigh Food Bank.

About ten secondary students spread out between Flinton, Northbrook, Cloyne, and Denbigh to collect non-perishable food items, instead of tricking or treating for candy. The students are not strangers to supporting the community who supports them.

This is the sixth year for the very successful event. We visited as many households as possible, but we know that some houses were missed. If you have food that you would like for us to pick up, please call Candice Bovard throughout the week at 613-336-8991.

On behalf of students and staff, the principal, Angela Salmond, would like to thank the community for their contributions to our food drive efforts over the years.

“I had a feeling of tremendous pride when a student had his mom drive him to my home to collect items. He was so polite - a true ambassador for this community. Thank you for helping show our students how important it is to take care of one another”.

NAEC students were not able to reach as many Flinton houses as they have in previous years. They will be coming around on Friday, November 18th, from 5:00-8:00pm, to collect any items that were missed on Hallowe’en night.

They will be wearing their soup costumes.

Bert Korporaal

Long serving Frontenac Park Assistant Superintendant marks his retirement L ast Saturday afternoon, a crowd of friends and co-workers gathered to honour Bert Korporaal on his retirement from 40 years of park work, the last 30 as Assistant Parks Superintendent of Frontenac Provincial Park.

Bert has played an important role in the development and preservation of Frontenac Park, a popular 12,000 acre wilderness in South Frontenac. A dedicated woodsman, he’s well known for his love of the outdoors and his willingness to go the extra mile to help others enjoy the trails, lakes and campsites. Many commented on his friendliness

and generosity.

Part of Bert’s responsibility has been to protect the park: from poachers, rule-breaking fishers (the two, not four-legged ones — the park has both), illegal campers who build fires in the duff, and those who scatter garbage. He makes no compromises with law-breakers, and his memory is good.

Bert’s looking at a number of options for retirement and has had several job offers, but for the immediate future, plans to enjoy hunting season.

Books for Our Pride and Joy Susan Ramsay, Early Literacy Specialist (Hastings, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington), sramsay@klandskills.ca

P

ride. We see it showcased joyously in Pride parades in Canadian cities and throughout the world. We also see it targeted horrifically in places like the Orlando nightclub a few months ago. How can such opposite emotions and reactions surround this simple, one-syllable word? MerriamWebster defines pride as “a reasonable or justifiable self-respect: delight or elation arising from some act, possession, or relationship (e.g. parental pride).”

Pride in our children is something most adults know something about! I often hear parents and grandparents share stories of their ‘pride and joy’ - stories of their child hitting new developmental milestones, showing kindness, cleverness, skillfulness, or an enviable sense of wonder. They want others to recognize how unique and special their child is. Yet when these unique and special children mature and identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) they often experience loss of affirmation from family members, friends, community or country.

A new recommended booklist from Kingston Frontenac Public Library, called Pride Books for Children, would suggest that books with affirming stories about chil-

dren, families and communities that don’t fit gender stereotypes are not only important to share with children. They are also books families are seeking. Their list highlights books available in your local library or through interlibrary loan.

Red: A Crayon’s Story by George Shannon tells the story of a blue crayon that has been given a red label. He is encouraged to be red by drawing red objects like strawberries, and to mix with yellow crayons to draw oranges but, no matter how hard he tries, he simply cannot be red. Eventually Red discovers what readers have known all along. He’s blue! This simple picture book can speak to children in varied ways and encourages them to be true to their inner self.

Families, Families, Families! by Suzanne Lang is filled with whimsical portraits of animals in non-traditional families. The text on each page is simple and brief, yet prompts children to think about and appreciate families that are different from their own.

This Day in June by Gayle Pitman received the 2015 ALA Stonewall Book Award, and was winner of the 2015 Notable Books for Global Society Awards. This Day In June is a children’s book about pride celebrations and includes a reading guide with facts

In her book Kilodavis shares her belief that ‘my’ Princess Boy is really ‘our’ Princess Boy, and as a community, we can accept and support others for whoever they are and however they look.

Her book and others show us that our pride and joy needn’t turn off when children come out.

VISIONSoup supports local charities

C

ool weather is soup weather. Luckily, the annual VISIONSoup community fund raising event will be held at the Grace Centre, 4295 Stage Coach Road, Sydenham, on Saturday, November 19 from 11:30am to 1:30pm.

Guests will receive a beautiful hand-made pottery bowl to keep, which will be filled with delicious soup from local restaurants. All proceeds will be shared between the Loughborough Christmas Hamper campaign and the Southern Frontenac Community Services Food Bank.

“We are excited to be running this event again this year,” said Josey Steel, one of the pair of organizers who plan the event.

“We are contacting restaurants and getting more and more signed on to donate

soup. We expect the final tally will be almost 20 soups!” adds Leslie Reade, the other half of the dynamic duo. “Sometimes people in our community need a helping hand, and we know that these two charities do a lot to help those in need in our community. This is a way we can give back.”

The cost for VISIONSoup is $25 per person, plus a food bank donation. Tickets can be purchased at Trousdale’s General Store, Sydenham Chiropractic Clinic, Sydenham Veterinary Services, and the Southern Frontenac Community Services office at 4419 George Street.

NAEC students experience the bright lights and big city O

by Valerie Allan

n October 27, a packed bus left NAEC early in the morning for a trip to Toronto.

Students started their program with a visit to the Royal Ontario Museum. There, they saw the work of Dale Chihuly, a famous artist who works in blown glass. Students saw boats filled with huge glass globes, a landscape of glass including creatures from above and below the sea, various vessels, and some installations called “Persians”, inspired by

Kaitlyn Lessard admires the "Persian" room.

the patterns in Persian Rugs.

As well as seeing the Chihuly exhibit, students visited other areas of the ROM, including the dinosaur exhibit, the Chinese exhibit, the bat cave, and the rock exhibit.

The group split into two for the next part of the day. Photos are not available for this part of the day, because one group was in the pitch dark, while the other was in an art gallery (a traditional “no-photo” zone).

Ms. Dunphy and Ms. Shepherd accompanied students to “Onoir”. This is a restaurant where the food is consumed in total darkness. The premise behind this is that all the diners’ senses are concentrated on their food, rather than being distracted by their surroundings.

Students and staff reported having a delicious meal, and said it was a lot of fun to eat in the dark. Many said they would like to go again.

Ms. Allan and Ms. Harnden took their group to the Art Gallery of Ontario to see the “Mystical Landscapes” exhibit. This featured an international array of different landscape artists, such as Van Gogh, Gaugiun, Monet and Georgia O’Keefe. There was also a good representation of Canadian artists, including Emily Carr, Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven. The focus of the exhibit was the concentration of artists on the soothing effects of the natural world in times of upheaval. Students were pleased when they recognized the works of artists they knew, but also enjoyed seeing the works of artists they had not seen before.

Frontenac Seniors Expo in Sydenham and Sharbot Lake One-stop event on aging well for seniors, their families and caregivers November 18 and 19 The County of Frontenac is organizing the Frontenac Seniors Expo, a one-stop event on aging well for seniors, their families and caregivers, on November 18 and 19 in Sydenham and Sharbot Lake.

The Frontenac Seniors Expo takes place at the Grace Centre in Sydenham on Friday November 18 between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and at the St. James Major Church in Sharbot Lake on Saturday November 19 between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p..m. Admission is free with lunch provided. Keynote speaker is Rhonda Lovell of Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) Public Health.

“The County is pleased to support a plan for age-friendly communities in Frontenac so that residents can live fulfilled lives

without having to locate to urban centres,” said County of Frontenac Warden Frances Smith.

Earlier this fall, the County of Frontenac retained MMM Group Limited, a WSP consulting company, to assist with the preparation of an Age-Friendly Community Action Plan. This project is funded by the Government of Ontario. An age-friendly action plan sets out a framework for a community to improve its age-friendliness and ensure all residents can remain active members of the community at every stage of life.

For further information about the Frontenac Seniors Expo contact Anne Marie Young at 613-548-9400 extension 330 or ayoung@ frontenaccounty.ca

orthern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS) received a $45,000 grant from the Trillium Foundation earlier this year to purchase a vehicle capable of transporting staff and equipment to play-groups, youth events, and for seniors outreach programs. “The van came just in time, since our staff were starting to worry if they were going to arrive safely in our old van. It allows us to bring people, gear, whatever we need up and down Frontenac County” said Maribeth Scott, NFCS Director of Children and Youth Services. NFCS delivers children and youth services in South, Central and North Frontenac, through playgroups, sports programs and workshops. The agency also delivers adult and seniors programming in the region north of Verona.

“It all adds up to a lot of driving,” said Scott, “and having a reliable van helps. Lanark, Frontenac Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hill-

ier attended a ribbon cutting for the new van, which has actually been in service for a while. “I'm happy to help celebrate this grant from the Trillium Foundation. NFCS is an organisation that helps rural communities thrive.”

OPP report

M

embers of the Lanark County Ontario Provincial police detachment are investigating a hunting accident that happened on Monday, November 6th, 2016.

The man drove himself to hospital and suffered non life threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing. The deer hunt has begun.

Please be careful.

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC www.southfrontenac.net LIVING HERE THE WINTER WINDS AND RECYCLING With the strong winds so far this fall, please give a bit more thought to how you put out your recycling. Take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty or light plastics tend to fly out into the ditches and tree lines. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers vertically in the box so the wind can’t catch them or lay flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when recycling.

Addington Highlands Council sale of road allowance causes controversy

by Jeff Green t is not often that the ghost of the founder of Flinton, the legendary Senator and business man Billa Flint, is brought up in the context of a decision by a contemporary council.

But that is what happened on Monday (November 7) regarding a decision to sell a 32 by 40 foot parcel of land behind the former United Church in Flinton to the Orser family.

The Orsers purchased the church 5 years ago and have been struggling ever since to obtain the necessary approvals to put in a septic system behind the building. The solution that came to Council for final approval on Monday was for them to sell part of the road allowance that borders the adjacent Skootamatta River to the Orsers.

Three delegations came forward to comment on the proposed sale. One, James Wood, merely sought clarification. Another, June Phillips and Caol Lessard from the Addington Highlands Public Library, which has a branch next door to the former church, objected to the sale on the grounds that it will impinge on their ability to run outdoor children's programs next to the library. They noted as well, in their written submission, that “the neighbour looking to purchase the property has caused many access issues. If he is able to purchase any part of the property we feel these problems will grow.”

The most vociferous opponent to the proposal was Flinton resident Bruce Hasler. He asked Council if they considered themselves wiser than all of those who have served on council “for the last 157 years since the road allowance was established by Bella Flint and surveyed by John Emerson in 1859.”

He said, “I would think that you would have to have the ego of Trump to put yourselves above all those smart people and stop and sell this property after all this time.”

He added that “any councilor who votes

I

for this bylaw is guilty of ignoring the rights of taxpayers, and should resign.”

Councilors Tony Fritsch, Kirby Thompson, and Deputy Reeve Helen Yanch all briefly engaged in back and forth comments with Hasler, saying they looked at all of the issues before coming to the decision and that the right of way will still be in place, though it will be narrowed for a 40 foot stretch.

Later in the meeting, after the opponents and the Orser family had left, the sale came up for approval. Councilor’s Thompson and Fritsch both said that they would like to see a low fence constructed to mark off the edge of the road allowance and the new boundary of the Orser property.

Council agreed that the township should pay for the fence because it is for the townships benefit that it is being constructed. The Orsers need only agree to its construction in order for the sale to be approved at the next meeting.

A discussion about whether it was possible to prohibit the Orsers from parking in front of the library fizzled when Council realised that their only option was to prohibit all parking in that location, which would not help anyone.

“The Orsers should just be encouraged to park on their own property,” said Helen Yanch.

Police report Napanee Detachment Commander Pat Finnegan made his quarterly visit to council, outlining the activities of the OPP in Addington Highlands over the summer months.

He paid particular attention to a letter from Robert Taylor that the township forwarded to his office. Taylor operates a fruit and vegetable stand in front of his property on Hwy. 41 in Northbrook. In the letter, Taylor said that traffic travels at high speed in that part of Northbrook, and dangerous driving is rampant. He said that the police presence in Northbrook has gone down in recent years and that had made the problem worse.

Sharbot Lake Retirement & Retreat

Open House - Saturday Nov 12, 2-4pm Come visit us & tour our newly renovated residences.

14244 Road 38, in the beautiful village of Sharbot Lake.

Finnegan said that he appreciates the letter, and thanked Council for forwarding it, and added that “we responded by taking a closer look at what is going on there and at our activities. We need to determine, in these cases, if there is major problem or just the perception of a major problem.”

While Finnegan said it is true that many northbound summer drivers start speeding up in Northbrook well before they reach the 80 km zone, there has been no spike in incidents in that location.

He also said that the detachment is less likely to park a police car with a radar gun in a fixed location these days “because it has been shown to be ineffective. People slow down when they see the police and when they get out of sight they just speed up again.”

Instead, he said they often use unmarked cars with mobile radar and other techniques to patrol the roadways.

All told, 700 motor vehicle charges have been laid in Addington Highlands this year, 588 between June 1 and September 30th.

Most of those have been provincial offences such as speeding, seat belt infractions, cell phone use by drivers, etc. That figure includes patrols along Hwy. 7 in the the township as well as on Hwy. 41 and other arterial and back roads.

Finnegan also said that the OPP is investigating vandalism at the former Northbrook fire hall. It was broken into, covered in graffiti, some of it anti-police, and some furniture that was stored in the building was destroyed.

Finnegan indicated that he expects the investigation will turn up the culprits eventually.

The hall has since been emptied and the doors secured.

Kaladar Comunity Hall Council received a letter from Penny Hinchey, the secretary of the Kaladar Community Club, regarding the future of the Kaladar hall. The letter outlined the difficulty the club has encountered keeping the hall in operation, which has recently become more acute when the Land O’Lakes Tourist Association stopped renting office space in the hall.

“So my question to you is, rather than shutting the hall down, which would be a huge loss to the community, is it possible for the township to basically take it over?” Hinchey said in her letter.

Hinchey added that she believes this has been done with the Cloyne, Harlowe and Denbigh Halls, and concluded her letter by saying, “hoping to hear back from you before we have to take some drastic decisions.”

Reeve Hogg said first that the Cloyne and Harlowe Halls are not in the township.

The township does, however, own and maintain the Flinton Recreation Centre, the Family Health Team Building in Northbrook and both the Denbigh Hall and the Denbigh Recreation Centre.

“I think we should ask the community club for a financial statement to see what we are looking at here,” said Councilor Tony Fritsch.

Denbigh Recreation Centre Council received the engineering plans for renovating the kitchen at the Denbigh Recreation Centre but will not take on the project unless a grant can be found to help pay the cost.

Flinton Recreation Centre A $24,000 contract was awarded to Hook’s for the supply and installation of new flooring in the Flinton Recreation Centre. The top floor will be done in 2016 and the bottom in early 2017 in order to spread the cost over two budget years.
