Bus operators suing over RFP process

Trick or eat!

by Jeff Green n October 12, a group of school bus operators serving students in the Limestone, Prince Edward Hastings, Catholic School Board of Eastern Ontario launched a suit against their employer, Tri-Board Transportation Services, in the Belleville Court. The suit alleges that the RFP (Request for Proposal) process through which the bus routes in the region will be divided up for five years starting next fall, constitutes a “breach of contract, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of the duty of fairness”. The suit asks the court for an “interlocutory and permanent injunction” restraining the closing of the RFP, which is scheduled for October 31. The plaintiffs in the case include a number of small and medium-sized bus companies that have been delivering children to schools in the region for many years for Tri-board and Tri-board’s predecessors, and part of the statement of claim is that the RFP process is skewed in favour of larger companies, many of whom have no history in the region. They say that larger companies can bid on up to 20% of the routes that are available, and in so doing they can submit low bids, offsetting the low-profit rural routes with profits from urban routes. Smaller companies, including three in Central and North Frontenac, are only interested in the routes they have already been serving, but they are finding it difficult to complete a number of the questions in the RFP pertaining to managing fleet size, garage space, and others. The suit also alleges that as the only potential employer for their services, the Tri-Board is responsible for some of the costs that the existing operators incurred in recent years, as they upgraded and purchased new buses and routes when other operators retired. The suit also points out that the RFP stipulates that TriBoard has the right to disqualify any bidder who has levelled “any lawsuits against Tri-Board or the school board in the last five years,” a move that the plaintiffs say is “an unlawful and improper attempt of Tri-Board to insulate itself and its conduct from judicial oversight and to intimidate operators from seeking access to justice in the courts of Ontario.” The suit also alleges that of the 55 current operators in the Tri-Board region, 27 have not even picked up the RFP papers because “the terms of process are prohibitive.” The RFP process for school bus service has been coming into force throughout Ontario, and there are a number of jurisdictions where it is in place already. According to the plaintiffs, the result has been devastating to the local operators in those jurisdictions. Research done by the Indepen-

he students of North Addington Education Centre will be suiting up again on Oct. 31 and knocking on your door! They will be asking for non-perishable food items, which will be donated to the local food bank. About a dozen secondary students will be spreading out in Flinton, Northbrook, and Cloyne to collect non-perishable food items, instead of trick or treating for candy. The secondary students organized a very successful Trick or Eat campaign last October, and the elementary food drive in June assisted the food bank in stocking its shelves for the summer. The students are not strangers to supporting the community who supports them. According to participant and grade 11 student Kendra Wilson, “I had so much fun last year that I can’t wait to do it again. It also felt really good to go over and fill the shelves at the food bank. It was great to see all of that food!” We are asking community members to contribute what they can. We will be having three to four students canvassing each community between approximately 5 and 8 p.m.

They will be wearing NAEC ID tags and Campbell’s soupcan costumes. When you see the soup-cans, you know students are collecting non-perishables! We are going to try our best to visit as many households as possible, but if you have contributions and the food is not picked up, please call Ms. Bovard throughout the week at 613-336-8991 and we will pick it up. Also, food can be dropped off at NAEC between October 29 and the 31st. On behalf of students and staff, Principal Angela Salmond would like to thank the community for their contributions to our food drive efforts over the last year. “The response we have received is overwhelming. We would not be able to organize events like this without the support of very generous families in this community. I am proud to see students take ownership of the area in which they live.” If you see students in the community and they are “trick or eating”, feel free to ask them to sing or dance for your donation; they are prepared to work for your generosity!

Hillier on McGuinty Never say die for local Liberals

by Jeff Green ike everyone else in the province, Randy Hillier was surprised when Dalton McGuinty resigned as Premier on Monday night. “I was not surprised that he prorogued parliament,” Hillier said. “The heat was really on him about the gas plant scandals, and ultimately and clearly the responsibility will be seen to go to McGuinty,” he said. Hillier added that it is “likely they won’t have a leadership vote until February, and it is probably fairly safe to say we probably will not see the legislature until mid-March. I guess they are hoping this will reduce he memories of the scandal to some degree.” Until then, Hillier said, the government will be able to operate with no oversight. “They can hide at length. In the meantime I will have an opportunity to return to the riding and do more issue work and advocacy work for constituents,” he said. Although there has been a lot of speculation in he media about the timing of McGuinty’s departure, and some talk about a run for the Federal Liberal leadership, Hillier said there is only one reason for the resignation. “The gas plant scandal is everything. All the rest is stuff and nonsense.”

auril Bélanger is one of the few remaining Liberal MPs in Eastern Ontario. He has held the riding of OttawaVanier since 1995, and on October 13 he spoke to an upbeat gathering of 25 Liberal Party stalwarts at the LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington Federal Liberal Riding Association’s AGM at the Piccadilly Hall. Bélanger referred to the May 2011 federal election briefly, as a “shellacking” for the party, before talking about the three phases of renewal the party is undergoing in anticipation of an election in 3½ years. Locally, the party slumped to a thirdplace finish. It received just under 17% of the votes, quite a comedown in a riding that includes half of the former Hastings Frontenac Addington riding that was held by the late Frank McCormick until 2004. Since then, the local association has recovered financially, and now has $28,000 in the bank, which puts them among the first rank of riding associations in ridings the Liberals do not hold. “The sad reality is that in 30% of the ridings across Canada, and proportionately higher in Quebec, the local associations are dormant, so with 200 members and $28,000 in the bank as we enter into a recruitment drive and a leadership

contest, LFL&A is doing really, really well,” said Bélanger. As to the party as a whole, Bélanger said that the first phase of renewal involved re-organizing the party structure, fixing the finances, and learning how to fund-raise. An example of the success of these efforts, he said, was the party’s convention last January, which “was attended by 3,300 people, and for the first time ever in a convention, made a modest profit of $300,000. We also out fund-raised the NDP last year, which they are pissed off about so they are trying to do better, which is a good thing”. He said that the phase out of federal funding for political parties, which his party opposed, is not necessarily a bad thing. Under Bill C-24, which the Harper government is phasing out, parties received $2 per year for every vote they tallied in the previous election. “The phase out of C-24 does two things, it makes us learn how to fund-raise on an ongoing basis, and it means that elections really are a winner take all process. Before, even if a candidate lost, they got some money for the party for every vote. Now, winning is the only thing,” he said. The second phase of the Liberal renewal process is the

Editorial

Premier Hudak, I presume I

have a theory that there is an eight-year “best before” date on governments in Canada. It comes from the fact that, quite apart from all of the machinations about independence and right/left splits that took place while I was growing up in Quebec, the provincial governments always lasted eight years or two trips to the polls. It was a regular pattern. We threw the bums out, then four years later, just as the warts were starting to show in the formerly fresh-faced government, we reluctantly gave them a second chance. Four years later we threw the bums out again and often elected the first set of bums all over again. Ontario politics haven’t followed exactly the same pattern. Until the mid-’80s the conservatives were in power forever. Then the Liberals had a run that might have lasted longer, but for a miscalculation by then Premier David Peterson that limited his tenure to five years. Bob Rae and the NDP then had a single term, followed by eight years of the Harris Conservatives. When the McGuinty Liberals took power, there were a lot of broken links in the political system in Ontario that needed to be fixed. Municipal amalgamation and hamfisted downloading, as well as a broken relationship with teachers and school boards, were the legacies of the Harris years that the Liberals went about repairing. Buoyed by a strong economy, the Liberals had a lot of success, and were re-elected rather easily four years later. Then the cracks began to show, both in the provincial economy and in the way the Liberals operated. Not only was authority centralized in the premier’s office, information also became tightly controlled and there have been a number of creeping scandals, including e-health and ORNGE (the air ambulance system) Still, last year, the Liberals won a third mandate, although just barely, ending up one seat shy of a majority. This opened up the inevitable questions about how long this third mandate would last and how long McGuinty would remain on the job. In retrospect, it might have been cleaner for all concerned had the Liberals narrowly lost the election instead of

narrowly winning it. At this point all we have to go on is speculation, but whatever the real reasons are for McGuinty’s sudden departure and his rather vague talk about “party renewal”, it must be said that the whole thing is unseemly. After spending months talking about the need to cut government spending in order to maintain the two key programs the Liberals have championed, education and healthcare, the premier has not only resigned leaving the budget deficit intact, but he has also shut down the legislature indefinitely until a new premier is chosen. McGuinty served for seven years as leader of the opposition and nine years as premier, but his legacy will be forever tainted by this decision. Dalton McGuinty used the now infamous tool of proroga-

tion to shut down the elected parliament of the day, which throws all ongoing legislative business out the window. This, McGuinty’s last act as premier, will be remembered for what it is - a cold, calculating, and ultimately self-serving act of desperation. Quite a come-down from his “Premier Dad” persona. The idea is that a new leader will be elected in February, and instead of recalling the legislature, will go right to an election, so the vote will take place before the house comes back into session. It will not work. The Liberals will not recover from all of this with a new leader and a snap election, and unless there is a huge swing to the NDP in Ottawa and suburban Toronto, Tim Hudak will become Premier of Ontario by next summer.

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court report - October 15

Shallow breather acquitted R

yan Ross Baker, 20, was acquitted of a charge of Failing/refusing to Provide a Breath sample. Mr. Baker faced the charge after he failed three times to provide a steady breath for 8 seconds to a roadside screening device in the wee hours of a cold, rainy night in April of this year. In the trial, OPP Constable Kirk testified that he stopped Mr. Baker on the westbound Wagarville Road just after 4:00 am on April 21 after observing the car Mr.Baker was driving swerve off its lane far into the westbound lane before recovering its own lane. Officer Kirk said that, while Mr. Baker’s eyes were clear, and his speech was not slurred, he was speaking very “slowly ad deliberately, a sign that he was concentrating on not appearing intoxicated. When asked to leave his car, Mr. Bakjer aso appeared to be unsteady on his feet, but Officer Kirk offered as well that it was s set night and Mr. Baker was wearing construction boots that were not done up. Officer Kirk asked Mr. Baker to do a sobriety test, which was administered by Kirk’s pattern, Constable Leanna Hawley. Hawley testified that Baker failed two of the three elements of the test. He passed the clear eye test, but failed the test for walking toe to heal, turning and returning, and the standing on on foot test. On these grounds, Mr. Baker was asked to do a roadside breath test. Constable Kirk administered the test, and he testified that after being shown how to do the test, and given three opportunities, Baker was not able to provide “a steady breath for 8 seconds” and the machine could not get a reading. Each time he blew short breaths and then stopped and started” Constable Kirk testifies that, even though he warned Baker before the third test that he had to provide a slow, steady sample, “or else he would be facing a charge of fail-

ing to provide a sample, which carries the same penalties as blowing over the limit.” Kirk testified that in his view, Mr. Baker was deliberately failing to provide a proper breath sample. Ryan Baker was not represented by a lawyer, choosig instead to defend himself. He did not cross examine Constable Kirk at all, and only asked one or two questions of Constable Hawley. In his summation, however, he said that the only drinking he had done that evening was after work, eight hours before he was stopped, that he had cooperated with police and had complied with their request for a sample, and he had tried to provide the sample in the way that Constable Kirk requested. Judge Wright ruled that there was doubt that Mr. Baker had deliberately failed to provide a proper sample, and that if he had been given one or tow more chances he might have been successful. Ryan Baker was acquitted.

First appearances -

Allan Young, 59, is charged with driving while impaired by alcohol and operating a vehicle with blood alcohol over 80 mg/100 ml of blood. Mr. Young received disclosure of the Crown’s case and will return on the next court date, November 19th. Robert Forsythe, 41, is charged with possession of an illegal substance, a federal charge. The Federal Crown said that diversion is a possibility in the case, putting up five fingers to indicate that if Mr. Forsythe donates $500 to a local charity before the next court date, the charge will be withdrawn. Paula Steg, 42, is charged with failing to comply with terms of probation and driving while under suspension. She will return on December 17th with a lawyer.

Ongoing

Wayne Kimberly, 57, charged with careless use/storage of firearm and facing an application by the Crown to have his firearms permit revoked, is set to return to Court on November 19, and since the case has been slow to come to conclusion, the judge marked it as a final adjournment. Jeremy Bryer, 35, faces three charges of theft under $5,000, and 3 charges of possession of stolen property. He has applied for Legal Aide and will return to court on November 19.

Hello everyone did not seem to need to know that the Frontenac News was online until I moved to Kuwait. I really enjoy reading it because it brings loving memories of "home". In fact I read more of it and look forward to clicking through the pages - I even read all the ads! Everything is so different here that the News brings "normalcy" back to my life. With the heat here in the high 30s (down from around 50°C) it is getting cooler but it is still so difficult to think of the low temperatures and the closing of cottages and the end of the season for the Farmers' Market. It is great to hear about the High School and all the bumps, and of course hearing about the students at Hinchinbrooke PS last week. Our work week is from Sunday to Thursday. Friday (is holy day) and Saturday is our weekend, so by the time you all go to work on Monday morning, we have been at work for 2 days! Thank you again for my online version of "home", from always sunny Kuwait. Debbie Jones Editor’s note: Debbie taught at Hinchinbrooke Public School for many years and was also our Crow Lake columnist. She recently moved to Kuwait after accepting a job as the principal of an international school there.

t happened that I had to work on Saturday, 11 August. Our office, the Verona Medical Clinic, is on the main road across from Martha’s Place (the old Bravo Restaurant). While I have often been uncomfortable with the speed and volume of traffic on the south side of the village, it seems to me that in the last year or so, the disregard for speed limits and pedestrian safety have reached an all time high. On this particular Saturday, the noise pollution was also extraordinary. On weekdays, that factor makes a particular difficulty if health promotion classes are being held upstairs in the clinic. It also makes a difficulty if medical tests are being conducted in the clinic that require sensitivity to sound on the part of the clinic staff. On Saturday I watched the traffic and wondered whether the sign at the edge of the village that states 50 km as the speed limit is being read as 50 mph. It was most certainly the case that the majority of the vehicles proceeding up the road were going at least 80 kms. No doubt these same folks also regard stop signs and stop lights as options that hinder the pent up desire for speed. I have lost count of the number of times I have been honked at, given the finger, passed on the double line, or virtually pushed from behind, while observing the posted speed limits. It is to be hoped that part of the general plan for improvements in South Frontenac will include some traffic-calming measures for this strip of the road. It is our intention to approach Council to investigate this. It can only be a miracle that someone has not yet

Mauril Belanger party is official opposition status in a minority parliament. “I’d like to think we can we can get back in government in 2015, but that might be a stretch. Official opposition in a minority is a minimum though,” he said. Bélanger took a few questions, including one about the possibility of Jean Charest entering the leadership contest. “I have not talked to Jean Charest since the Quebec election, so I can’t say what his plans are, but I will say there is a large amount of good will towards him all across the country for what he has done for the federation. As far as a Charest run for the leadership, I don’t see it right now,” Bélanger said, adding, “It’s not pretty right now in Quebec,” in reference to daily revelations at the commission of enquiry into political corruption in the construction industry.

dent School Bus Operators Association indicates that the move to fewer and fewer large operators across North America has led to increased costs to school boards, and ultimately taxpayers as well. The suit also refers to a provincially appointed task force, headed by former Justice Coutler Osborne, which raised serious questions about the process and its implementation in particular circumstances. Even though the Ministry of Education did not cede to many of the chief recommendations of the task force, it did leave local boards and transportation corporations with leeway in the decision about how to change procurement policies for bussing services. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs point out that “The Ministry made it clear that school boards and transportation consortia are not required to procure student transportation contracts through an RFP process and that alternative methods are acceptable”. The suit says that therefore Tri-Board was not forced to use the RFP process they have chosen. The lawsuit is before the court in Belleville, and it will need to be heard in short order if it is to achieve its primary purpose, which is to stop the RFP process before October 31.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Addington Highlands Council – Oct. 15, 2012 C ecilia Buelow of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) updated council on the property assessment increases that will be phased in over the next four years. On average, residences not on waterfront will see an increase of just under 6%, which Buelow said was well below the provincial average of 18%, while waterfront residences will have assessment increases of 27% on average. The overall residential assessment increase in the township is 15%. Any decreases in assessment will not be phased in over four years, but will take effect immediately. Buelow encouraged the councilors to advise ratepayers to use the expanded “About My Property” feature on the MPAC website in order to compare their assessments to those of similar properties. She also said that ratepayers must substantiate any complaints about unfair assessments in writing by April 1, 2013, otherwise they will lose their right to appeal until the following year. • Local resident Joan McLeod approached council about setting up a bake shop/café in the new Addington Highlands Community Centre – Denbigh, which would be located in the room next to the library. She would provide her own liability insurance and has already contacted the Public Health Unit in Cloyne. She assured council that she will meet the health unit’s requirements. The township would need to do basic finishing (drywall, floor, etc.) to the space. Councilor Adam Snider wondered whether council should publicize the opportunity in order to give anyone else who might be interested a chance at the venture. Council agreed to place an ad in the newspaper (see the ad on page 17). Deputy Reeve Bill Cox said that council should also have a cost estimate for the renovations before making a decision. Councilor Tony Fritsch said he would provide the estimate. • The Meals on Wheels program, which is run by Land O’Lakes Community Services, requested a key to the Denbigh hall, where the meals are prepared, in order to reduce work for the custodian. The township supports the program by waiving the hall rental fees and Councilor Fritsch said the program has expanded by 4 or 5 times the number of meals prepared since it started being run out of the hall. However, Council refused the request for the key as they do not give keys to anyone else who uses the hall, but will

Natural Wellness Fair returns to Sharbot Lake A by Jeff Green

fter a one-year hiatus, the popular Natural Wellness Fair is coming back, with a twist. Not only will there be a daylong event at St. James Major Catholic Church on Saturday November 3, featuring booths from a variety of practitioners and vendors, there will also be an added feature, Jeremy Bennett – author of "Power of the Mind – How I beat OCD". On Saturday night he will make a presentation on the Power of the Mind, the ability to overcome obstacles. He will also be making a presentation for local business people on applying principles to the working day for more success. Jeremy Bennett turned a major problem in his life, a chronic case of obsessive compulsive disorder, into the basis of his writings and speeches. His biography includes the following statement: “The experience of having OCD has created an opportunity for Jeremy to bring out in him, his soul’s destiny. To empower others to go beyond any crisis, any difficulty in their life. The power of who you are can transform your life and be the unfoldement of your mission.” More details about the Wellness fair schedule and the Jeremy Bennett presentation will be available next week. Stay tuned …

allow LOLCS to put an additional freezer in the basement. • Surveillance cameras will be installed at the Hartsmere Waste Disposal site in order to combat the ongoing problem of waste being dumped at the gates. Roads Supervisor Royce Rosenblath noted that as the site’s entrance is on the highway, dumpers could also be charged by the OPP in addition to being fined by the township. • The Mazinaw Property Owners Association (MPOA) have requested once again that the township improve the Tappin’s Bay boat ramp and dock, which is the only access for waterbound properties on Mazinaw Lake, in order to alleviate severe ongoing crowding problems. However, Tappin’s Bay itself is in not in Addington Highlands, but in North Frontenac Township, and both councils have been fielding requests for solutions from the MPOA and debating the problem for years. North Frontenac decided years ago to back away from the boat launch, but on Monday night Addington Highlands debated approaching them to reopen the negotiations, though they eventually decided against doing that. Councilor Snider noted that the problem is indeed severe, that Addington Highlands has many ratepayers on the lake, and that the increase in MPAC assessments will cause the waterfront ratepayers to complain even more acutely that they get no services for their taxes. He asked if the township has any property on the lake that would be suitable for

a public boat launch – just a launch, not a docking facility, he emphasized. In the end, Council passed two motions. The first was to reply to the MPOA saying that AH has no authority at Tappin’s Bay as it’s not in the township, and the second motion was to search for a suitable spot for a boat launch. • Royce Rosenblath noted that there is concern in the community about Carillion Canada being the new provider of winter maintenance for provincial roads in the area. (Hwy. 7 and Hwy. 41) He said residents are wondering if it might take a long time before they’re plowed out. Carillion has contracts with the Ministry of Transportation for all summer and winter maintenance on some 6,000 km of roads in Ontario. However Rosenblath said that maintenance standards have not dropped and he is confident that the MTO will have their inspectors out in full force to ensure that the company plows the roads in proper time. He said Carillion would be fined heavily by the ministry if they did not fulfill the terms of their contracts. • Long-service awards have already been presented to Ward 2 firefighters, but not to Ward 1 firefighters. Reeve Hogg said that is because records weren’t kept so they do not know the actual number of years of service. The fire department will draw up a list with the best guesses as to the number of years of service and will work towards presenting the awards at the Christmas banquet.

Child and youth workers – unsung everyday heroes W by Dennis McDermott, former Executive Director, OACYC

ith the recent arrival in the mailbox of the Northern Frontenac Community Services booklet, I thought it would be a good time to highlight the child and youth worker (CYW) profession in Frontenac. The new Executive Director of NFCS, Don Amos, is himself a CYW and there are many more working throughout the county. And across the province, there are dozens more who got their start here. The list contains family names many will recognize: Badour, Cota, Cronk, Fox, Goodfellow, Green, Hawley, Lowery, Kellar, Revell, Rose, Snider, Sproule, and Waugh. Even the Director of Public Health for Frontenac, Dr. Ian Gemmill, began his career as a graduate of the CYW program at St. Lawrence College. They are all “unsung” partly because child and youth work is a fairly new profession compared to nursing for instance. It wasn’t until 1957 that the training program started in Ontario under the Ministry of Health (when it was called, Child Care Worker). The idea then was to train people who specialized in working with severely disturbed young people and those with major psychiatric problems, but they were to work in the everyday life situations of children, not in an office. They were seen as a combination of therapist, social worker, and recreation leader -- to be more like an older, supportive relative or friend. That part remains the same today but as the popularity of the profession grew, it expanded well beyond children’s psychiatric hospitals. Schools, group homes, and community centres are now the major employers. That’s also where the “unsung” part comes in. They are rarely identified by employers as child and youth workers. They’re “behaviour consultants,” “adolescent care workers,” “teacher’s aides,” “family workers,” “residential counsellors” – whatever title fits the service they are working in. Then there are those who, like Don Amos, become known more for their

position, Executive Director. Others are known for the further training they took after CYW, like Dr. Gemmill. Another example would be Carl Hammer, now a teacher at Sharbot Lake H.S. And like these three, some maintain their community service focus but go on to completely different endeavours; the work done on the Grace Centre in Sydenham by Energy Kingston Exteriors, for instance, involved a CYW, Mike Goulding, the owner of Energy Kingston. There are also a number of CYWs in Frontenac who maintain their connection to the profession but are known more by their business name. Partners, a private treatment foster care service in Hartington run by Roxanne Kellet-Stephen and John Stephen is one example. Another is CYC Services in Harrowsmith, the distributor of texts for college and university CYW programs. They are the sole distributor for Michael Burns, the CYW author of the three most popular texts in child and youth work in Canada. But perhaps the best kept CYW secret, at least in Frontenac, was their professional association, the Ontario Association of Child and Youth Counsellors (OACYC). For 12 years (1997-2009) their headquarters was in Harrowsmith. During that time, they had a membership of 2,200 and became “the largest CYW association in North America.” And one of the main questions they had to deal with was, “Where’s Harrowsmith?!” No one could believe it wasn’t in Toronto or Ottawa. But the OACYC, like all the other CYWs in Frontenac (and most everyone else here), just want to get on with doing their job – making life a bit better for young people and their families going through trying times. It’s just that with all that news about NFCS and Don Amos, now’s as good a time as any for a little nod and a thank you.

Trousdale’s Grand Re-opening By Jeff Green n a very real sense, the Trousdale's complex, which includes a Foodland, and now a full-fledged Home Hardware Home Building Centre, is the very same business that the Trousdale family has been in for over 100 years. Trousdale's General Store, which still operates as a heritage and gift store to this day, at one time sold hardware, clothing, food and farm supplies - everything an agricultural community needed. “The writing really was on the wall in the late '60s that changes were coming, as farming was slowing down and Sydenham started to become a bedroom community,” said John Trousdale from his small desk in a cubby hole in the appliance showroom at the front of Trousdale’s Hardware. Until then, customers would make their way to the general store from the surrounding region, but once the bulk of the community was commuting to Kingston for work every day, competition from Kingston retailers became a real concern. “People can shop in Kingston before coming to Sydenham at the end of the day, or they can come home and then go shopping in Sydenham, which is the choice we want them to make,” said John Trousdale. Trousdale’s Home Hardware and Trousdale’s Foodland share ample parking on George Street, at the corner of Bedford, just over the bridge from the centre of Sydenham. The hardware store has been affiliated with Home Hardware for the last 21 years, and it has been a good fit, according to John Trousdale. “We have a stake in the company. It isn’t a franchise situation, and ever since we have been with Home Hardware we have had a secure supply of products. All of the distributors that used to supply independent hardware stores are gone, but with Home Hardware we have thrived,” he said. John Trousdale runs the store, along with some long-serving, loyal staff members. His son Willie is also working in the store, learning the ins and outs of the business, just as generations of family members have done in the past. While Home Hardware provides a product line, the key to the sustained success of the business is service and familiarity with customers, something that was in evidence during last week’s interview, as John and Willie were constantly dealing with phone calls and customers approaching them with questions. In one exchange, a customer poked his head in and said, “John, I need a filter for my fridge.” “What do you have, a Frigidaire?” John asked. “I don’t know.” “I think it is. Is it one with two prongs?” “Maybe.” “Ya, it’s a Frigidaire you have; there’s the filter over there.” Later, John Trousdale said the man had bought his fridge five years ago. “We need to provide that kind of service. There are 70,000 and 100,000 square foot stores lined up all along Gardiners Road that we have to compete with. But people tell me that they get tired of having to go through those stores, and if they can come here and we have the product or can get it in quickly, and we know them and can help them out, we will get our share of the business,” he said. Next weekend Trousdale’s Hardware will celebrate its grand opening as a Home Hardware Building Centre, which

North Frontenac resident targeted by “Mystery Shopper” scam ast week a North Frontenac township employee received a cheque in the mail for $3,977.30, along with an authenticL looking letter purporting to be from VULSAY Industries. The letter advised that the person had been selected as a “Mystery Shopper”, for the position of “Customer Service Evaluator”. The instructions in the letter were to cash the cheque and then spend $100 at Walmart or Best Buy, etc. He could keep what he bought plus $450 for the “training day”, and then he was to send back the extra money, which amounted to $3,187, via Western Union to “test their services”. The letter further said, “Your starting salary will be $450 and will increase to $550 per week after three months of working with us. This is a self-training program designed to equip you with the right tools necessary to carry out your assignments which will be completed in two different locations”. Realizing this was too good to be true, the resident went on-line to find out about the company, which does exist, and saw the following warning posted prominently at the top of their website: “’MYSTERY SHOPPER’ MAIL SCAM: If you have received a letter in the mail stating that you have been hired by Vulsay Industries to participate as a “customer service evaluator”, please note that this is a scam. Do not try to cash the cheque enclosed – it is not valid! Vulsay Industries is in no way associated with this mailing. Please contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre to report this scam. 1-888-495-8501 (The best time to call is between 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.)” The way the scam works is that after the fraudulent cheque has been cashed and the victim has withdrawn the funds, the cheque will bounce and the victim will have to reimburse the $3,977 to the bank out of their own pocket - plus the applicable bank fees for a bounced cheque. The only thing the victim will get to keep is the $100 worth of merchandise, which they’ve paid for themselves, and which has actually cost them a lot more than $3,977.

gives customers the opportunity to access all the products available through Home Hardware. “One of the things about being a Home Hardware Building Centre is the products and service we can offer for the Do-ItYourself projects, and it means that we now have access to all of the products in the Home Hardware flyers that we send out each week. It doesn’t change what we do, or the way the store is laid out, but it adds to it.” It’s another step forward, and another way of keeping the original idea of Trousdale’s General store relevant for another generation. The Grand Re-Opening of Trousdale’s Home Hardware Building Centre takes place on October 18, 19 and 20.

Celebrating 40 years at Perth Road PS by Julie Druker taff, students and former students gathered at Perth Road Public School on October 13 to celebrate its 40-year anniversary and four decades of the school’s history in the community. Classrooms were set up highlighting the history at the school and students were in-

vited to unearth artifacts from the school archives, many of which were incorporated into various displays around the school. As part of a studentdriven project, the school’s grade eight students created videos that were showcased at the event. Grade eight teacher Cindy Harvey said, “This was the perfect project

for the older students at the school since they really had a chance to look into the history of the school and to see how it has changed over the decades. As part of the introduction to history, I like to teach the students about artifacts and archives, how they are handled, what they mean and what they can learn from

them.

arah McCullough was valedictorian of this year's graduation ceremonies at Sharbot Lake High School on October 5. Though this year it was a small class of just 39 graduates, numerous honors, awards, bursaries and proficiency trophies were given out. It was the first year that students graduated from the four-year-old Northern Forestry course, a specialist high school program that five students graduated from this year. In what was described as a thoughtful and moving speech, McCullough, who is pursing a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Applied Psychology from St. Lawrence College in Kingston, highlighted her favorite memories from her five years at SLHS, a school she said was family based and which has given her and her classmates a myriad of everlasting memories and a well of knowledge to tap from in all of their future endeavors. Liz Steele-Drew said that the evening was a memorable one, especially for the fact that a number of the donors of the awards and bursaries were present at the ceremony to give out their awards. She said she was pleased to see so many of the graduates return, many of whom are pursing a number of interesting post-secondary endeavors.

Bellrock Schoolhouse Theatre T

he Bellrock Schoolhouse Theatre presented their inaugural production “Here Come the Cows” or “Never Say Moo in Bellrock” on October 13, officially opening what looks to be an exciting upcoming theatre season in the newly renovated community hall/ theatre. Close to 50 theatre goers enjoyed a sumptuous ham supper and then sat back to enjoy the melodrama, a corny and rollicking good guy/bad guy script that tells the tale of the day-to-day struggles of the small cow farming community of Bellrock. The quirky townsfolk have been beaten down by dust storms and drought and then they’re visited by a pair of greedy evildoers that turn the town upside-down. It was director Doug MacIntyre's second time directing the play (his first debut was in Arizona), and he said that he felt it would be the perfect play to open the new Bellrock Schoolhouse Theatre. “The first time I read it, I thought, this play has got to come north. I approached the people in Bellrock to see if they would be interested and they were and it seems that this kind of melodrama is the perfect fit for community theatre.” The cast included newbies to the stage as well as seasoned actors and it was the entire cast’s fourth reading of the play. Rather than memorizing their lines, the actors read from

the script, which in no way detracted from the play’s overall effect and together with the script’s comedic characters, plentiful corny puns, slapstick action and special effects, it in fact made for some of the play’s funniest moments. The play tells the tale of Molly (Jane MacKay) and her adopted daughter Penny (from heaven) who are struggling to make the rent at the Bellrock Soup Shack and Trading Post. They, along with the other townsfolk, who are each played to great comic effect, are visited by a couple of first-rate evildoers, Miss Trilby Tango (Connie Shibley) and Mandrake Mothdust (Dick Miller). The plot thickens when the cranky, cheapskate, soup-slurping Grouchy Backwater suffers a classic melodramatic death from a scorpion bite, which invites the normally law abiding townsfolk to break the law in a secret scheme that will keep them in the black. As the plot thickens, the evildoers Trilby and Mandrake threaten to make public the secret scam. Much further drama unfolds but as in most melodramas, the good characters triumph, thanks to the appearance of one Mr. Dan Delion and his offer of $50,000 to purchase the good guy and Penny's love interest, Bronco Bronco's herd, which will save the town. The beauty of this melodrama was the chance it gave for all its

Mark Veno and Deb Lovegrove played their roles with gusto characters to shine. Jennifer and Marc Veno played the parts of the smitten young lovers way over the top and to great comic effect while Jane MacKay's character Molly, more of the straight man, carried most of the plot. Dick Miller milked the evilness of Mandrake and allowed for some very funny impromptu laughs when some of the lines got mixed up in the second act of the play. Hats off to Connie Shibley, who played the southern vixen Trilby Tango impeccably with her hilarious southern drawl and spot-on comedic timing. Director Doug MacIntyre was not exag-

gerating when he said at intermission that his cast was more than able to pull off the play with just three rehearsals under their belts. “I'm just delighted with the cast and am totally in awe of their talent and the fact that they have been able to pull this off with so little rehearsal time.” For those who missed opening night in Bellrock, a second dinner/theatre performance of the play will take place on Sat. Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. For ticket information, call 613-374-2344. All proceeds from the performance will go towards the Bellrock Community Association, a not-for-profit corporation.

Entrepreneurs first

How To Plan Your Business’s Growth by Business Development Canada Say you have a successful small business. You have a few employees, and things are going fine. If you're like many entrepreneurs, you may never take time to sit down and think about your future growth—how to take your company to the next level in a smart, disciplined way. But growth is an issue many business owners ignore at their peril. In fact, it might just be one of the most important issues facing them as entrepreneurs. “If you decide not to grow, you may be paving a path to failure,” says Patrick Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “If you don't grow, your competitors will, and that will put pressure on you.” The good news, Latour says, is that business owners can create a road map to guide them and reduce their risk as they grow their enterprise. The road map can help them find more growth opportunities and avoid common mistakes, like failing to delegate responsibility to employees. Need a plan To develop your road map, start by committing time to outlining a plan for your growth, Latour says. It should include a few important basics: A clear picture of your business's current strengths, weaknesses and opportunities A vision for where you want your company to be in the next three to five years

An action plan to achieve your vision (Who will do what and by when) Your growth plan could be anything from a rough, informal sketch to a full-blown, highly detailed strategic plan, including everything from a mission statement to scenario planning and financial forecasts. What's vital is getting the key players in your company on the same page, thinking about your future. “If you're going to grow, you should absolutely have a plan,” says Paul Cubbon, who teaches entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” Latour agrees. “The plan doesn't have to be pages and pages long. Sometimes the simpler, the better. But if you don't have a planned, disciplined approach to growth, you're probably going to make more mistakes.” Regaining control Christopher Moreno is a firm believer in creating a growth plan—and following it with discipline. His event planning and production business, 365 Productions, was growing so quickly in 2011 that he and partner Ben Patience worried it was spinning out of control. “We were concerned about having too many things on the conveyor belt,” Moreno says. “We said: Eventually the conveyor belt is going to be full, and something is going to

fall off the end.” The duo decided to embark on a strategic planning exercise. The process helped clarify their opportunities, risks and respective roles in the company. The result: a detailed five-year plan that included financial forecasts for three different growth scenarios. The plan helped them boost sales to an expected $3.2 million this year from $1.8 million in 2010. They have even exceeded their goals, meeting their year-three targets in 18 months. And the plan has helped guide a successful international expansion into Britain and Australia. Along the way, they made sure to meet regularly with employees to see if the plan needs any tweaking and check how their plan is being implemented by measuring progress against their benchmarks. “The plan is 10% of the work; the other 90% is actually doing it,” Moreno says. “If you don't get in the car and drive, the roadmap is useless.”

3 dos and don’ts for growing a small business You’ve decided you want to expand your small business—but aren’t sure how. Here are some growth do’s and don’ts. Leverage existing clients— Looking for growth opportunities? Don’t forget your existing clients. They could be your best path to expansion success. It’s usually

much easier to find new business from current clients than to start afresh with untested ones. “Listen to existing clients, and see what they need,” says Patrick Latour. “Ask them how you can help them be even better. Can you help them in ways they don’t know about?” Latour also advises growth-oriented entrepreneurs to seek out opportunities to join the supply chains of multinational corporations. Grow smart—Whatever you focus on as a growth opportunity, be sure it’s the right path for you and your business, says Paul Cubbon, who teaches entrepreneurship at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. Don’t expand into new business areas just because you can. “People think growth will bring a more profitable situation. But they may grow from one to 20 employees and not make any more money, while working twice as hard,” Cubbon says. “It’s not just about growth. It’s about smart growth.” Be sure new business offers the same margins as you currently enjoy and helps you differentiate yourself from the competition. Don’t micromanage—Growing companies often wind up in trouble when the entrepreneur has trouble delegating decisions to staff. “Hire good people and trust them,” Latour says. “Let your people work, while you spend more time thinking about your strategic focus and your next move.”

LEONARD FUELS LTD.

Since 1948

5589 Hwy. 38 - Hartington 613-372-2112 1-800-543-7884 Leonard Fuels is more than a small business; it is the bedrock of the local community. It’s a business that has been run by the same family for over 70 years, employs local people, and provides the kind of reliable, caring service that larger, more distant companies can’t match. The business was started by Keith Leonard in 1936, “using a flatbed truck and 5 gallon cans that he would haul up customers’ stairs and bring into their houses,” said Rozanne LeonardStewart, who is Keith’s grand daughter and the manager of the business today. After a hiatus during WWII, when Keith Leonard enlisted in the army, Leonard Fuels reopened upon his return, in 1948. When Keith’s son Roy Leonard got his oil burner mechanic’s license in 1962, he started Leonard Heating, which later was amalgamated with his father’s business.

The business has expanded to include servicing of furnaces, air conditioners and heat exchangers, as well as the provision of fuel and lubricants to homes and businesses throughout the region and into Kingston. Over the past twenty years the number of employees at Leonard’s has risen to 12 full time employees and 5 part time students in order to provide a constant supply of oil for winter heating, and servicing of furnaces to comply with the increasingly rigorous government regulations faced by homeowners. “For us, it’s all about being a part of the community, and providing good service to our customers. Everything else changes, but that stays the same,” said Leonard-Stewart. And for 61 years, plus 5 before the war, that has been the source of Leonard Fuels’ success.

This, my tenth year in real estate, is an opportune time to count my business blessings. When I began, I was working out of a cottage bedroom on Kashwakamak Lake. I had a great view of the lake & only a vague idea of how to build a business. However, I was determined to get to know the area & the people who might need the services of a retired teacher-turned-real estate professional sometime in their future. I volunteered in the community & I started running the roads to become familiar with our fabulous lakes. The internet was my contact window to potential buyers & provincial cottage shows in Toronto & Ottawa were the venues to meet these buyers: I was on my way. Two years later, having outgrown my home office, I rented space on Hwy 41. I needed help & I hired a local assistant who knew almost everyone. Business

grew & I had another golden opportunity: my daughter joined me to see if real estate was a good career match for her. She became my licensed assistant in 2007. In November 2007, I purchased an office building in the centre of Northbrook, next to the LCBO, on Hwy 41. With a large parking lot & tons of interior space to relocate to, I settled in to develop a family business that would – above all else – provide excellent service to our buyer/seller clients. To that end, our enclosed & open cargo trailers still travel the roads de-cluttering cottages & homes or moving in new furnishings, a FREE service to our clients. We keep local tradespeople hopping by providing buyers with lists of reliable contacts when they want to have work done. We hold an annual spring Yard Sale in our Northbrook parking lot & we offer the space for local fundraising projects & community events. My daughter, Chantel, works exclusively with buyers & I focus on sellers. While our main focus is waterfront property, we list & sell off-water properties throughout the year. Repeat business tells us we’re offering the kind of service our clients expect. We have an active website that features lots of photos & detailed descriptions of our listings. My close association with Cottage Life magazine & the spring & fall Cottage Life Shows has been game-changing for my business. Yes, indeed, I have much to be grateful for as a small business owner/operator in 2012.

“Secrets of Discipline” - practical strategies W

hile most parents would probably agree that disciplining their kids is not high on their list of the most enjoyable pastimes, Ronald Moorish has made it his chosen field of expertise and on Sept. 27 he made a presentation on the subject to parents, guardians and educators at Sydenham High School. The presentation was sponsored by the Limestone District School Board. With 41 years of teaching experience under his belt, 16 of which were as a behavior specialist, Moorish has penned three books on the subject: “Secrets of Discipline”, “With All Due Respect” and “Flip Tips”. He now makes his living sharing that knowledge. Moorish, who is a parent of four and a grandparent of five, cited changes in parenting compared to when he was raising his kids in the 1970s. “I understood when I became a parent that it was my job to give my kids everything they needed to become healthy. These days it seems that parents give their children whatever they want to make them happy.” No so Moorish. He opened by speaking of the importance of understanding brain development and how the brain of a younger child differs from that of an adolescent. This helps to determine the different approaches to use with children of varying ages. Young children whose goal is to please require simple faceto-face directions. Moorish stressed that for young children simple rules and regular routines go a long way in setting up the basic expectations that will help them to achieve success in the future. On the other hand, for adolescents, direct confrontation can set up power struggle - an unnecessary but all too common situation that Moorish said leads to emotional outbursts, and from which nothing positive can derive. “I make it a personal habit with kids from grade five and up to address a behavioral issue only when they are engaged in some

kind of physical activity. The general rule to follow is – ‘Beside me, we can talk about anything, but opposite me - we'll talk about nothing.’” He added that when the adolescent emotional brain is engaged, no reasoning or problem solving is possible and it is best to wait and to deal with problematic issues with older kids when their emotions have calmed down and are not engaged. He explained that myelin is not fully developed in young adolescents’ brains and as a result many connections in the brain are not solidified. “Sometimes for example you will find with adolescents that gentle suggestion does not work and that to make your point you have to make it strongly.” He spoke of how at this time the adolescent brain is undergoing major recalibration so that emotions, understanding, processing information, and problem solving can vary as the brains reworks itself. “All of the executive functions of the brain can tend to go “off-line' for certain periods of time, resulting in that tendency for adolescents to sometimes appear to lack common intelligence. Hormones are also a factor. “The amount of time that it takes for an adolescent to “get up “ and actually wake can be an hour or two. Best to have lower expectations at this time,” he said. Moorish also pointed to societal changes. In days gone by adolescence was the time when children moved away from their

families. “This was a natural part of human experience. We have to understand that society has changed but that that children have not.” His advice - keep your sense of humour, roll with the punches but keep your basic expectations high. Regarding kids of toddler age Moorish also had much to say. “You are not a parent until your child is 1.5 years of age. Up until then you are a servant.” One of the great challenges he said is for parents to make the necessary switch from being a servant to being a parent. “Many people unfortunately don't and instead continue catering to their children.” Speaking of parents whose ultimate goal is ensure that their child is happy, and who describe their youngsters as their “best friends”, Moorish did not mince his words. “Get a life!” he said. He explained how at toddler age, when a child begins to move around their environment, there are definite safety issues. This

is the time when parents need to set limits - to learn how to say no. “If adults lose the courage to say no to their children, please explain to me where the children will get the courage they need to say no to drugs, to strangers, to vandalism, to bullying? Where will the character trait called self restraint, which is a key part of self discipline, come from if we fail to do our job?” Consistency at all ages is key. “When you are consistent these things become routine and these routines will become habits and good habits will be instilled for life.” Moorish said that the “Terrible Twos”, which can last upwards of 18 months, is the average transition time that it can take for youngsters, especially strong-willed ones, to understand the adult switch from servant to parent and it can be a very rough time especially for the moms, who tend to have been the primary nurturer. Moorish cited how the codes of conduct in schools have changed in the last four and five years, moving from punitive systems to those of positive role modeling. “Schools have realized only in the last few years that codes of conduct work best by teaching kids how to do things right rather than punishing the things that they do wrong.” Much of what Moorish preaches is good old-fashioned common sense mixed with lesser known factual information, which together can assist parents in the most important job of their lives.

Why storytelling helps children by Susan Ramsay - Early Literacy Specialist, HFL&A “It was a dark and stormy night.” The storyteller’s eyes widen. His words slow. The narrative begins and no one knows how the tale will end. Good storytelling captivates us, sparks our imagination, and shapes our thoughts and attitudes. But good storytelling does not just happen. It is a skill that begins developing at a very young age. According to Alyssa McCabe, professor and researcher with University of Massachusetts Lowell, narrative skills begin in children as young as 27 months old. At this stage children tell one event stories. “Me cat.” is a toddler’s narrative about dressing as a black cat on Halloween. At 3½ years children tell two event stories. “I was a cat. I got candy.” This preschooler’s story includes two exciting events – dressing up and going trick or treating. Children’s narrative skills include more details by the time they are four, but these details typically jump around. McCabe calls this the leapfrog story stage. “I was a cat. Mom was scared. I like chocolate. He stepped on my tail.” If you are the child’s mom you will know that the story describes a Halloween adventure in which another child accidently stepped on the tail of her daughter’s costume while trick or treating. This caused her daughter to fall. Mother automatically gasped and asked, “Are you okay?” Later that night, the daughter sorted her candy putting all the chocolate into one special pile. Soon, however, the story sequence becomes easier to follow, and another feature of storytelling emerges. Five-year-olds realize that stories convey feelings and reactions. These stories are called highpoint narratives. “I really like chocolate. On Halloween I went to Grandpa’s house. He gave me a BIG chocolate bar. On my street they don’t know I like chocolate. I got candy kisses and chips. I got granola bars. Grandpa knows I

like chocolate.” McCabe’s suggests that it’s not until children are about six years old that classic narrative skills emerge. Their stories move beyond the emotional high point. A resolution is added. “My brother likes chips, so we swapped treats. I gave him three bags of my potato chips. I got three of his chocolate bars. Now I have more chocolate!” So why do children’s abilities to tell stories matter? Research shows that children’s narrative skills at the end of kindergarten predict reading comprehension as late as grade 7. (Griffin, Hemphill, Camp & Wolf, 2004; Tabors, Snow, & Dickinson, 2001) Storytelling helps children become more self-aware. Through stories children can describe themselves or the other story characters as victim, hero, or observer. Through storytelling they evaluate real or fictional situations, express emotions, and determine possible actions and resolutions. Storytelling helps children think. Adults in children’s lives can nurture children’s narrative skills in simple but important ways: · Model storytelling by sharing stories about your day, or by telling made-up stories together. · Use mealtimes to talk together. Research shows that the amount and depth of conversation at the dinner table impacts children’s literacy development. (Beals, 2001) · Ask children genuine, open-ended questions to get them talking. (Avoid questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. Avoid questions to which you already know the answer.) · Engage and support children’s storytelling. Comments like “Really?” or “I see” let children know their words and ideas are interesting and you want to hear more. · It was a dark and stormy night...and the six-year-old boy leaned forward in his chair to tell Grandpa what would happen next.

Food, fun and fellowship with the Sharbot Lake 39ers I by Julie Druker

t doesn't take long to see that this group of elders likes nothing more than a chance to catch up on news and to visit - though playing games, listening to a guest speaker and of course enjoying a home-made lunch are some of the other reasons why members of the Sharbot Lake 39ers continue to get together. The 39ers meet on the first Tuesday of every month at noon at the meeting room of the North Frontenac Telephone Company building in Sharbot Lake. When I visited the group earlier this month I was invited to tuck in as members spoke to me of what the group means to them. President of the club, Virgil Garrett, likes to chair the meetings with gavel in hand. He spoke to me of his love for antique cars and told me of the 1916 Model T he has restored and of the bees he keeps. Ken Hollywood, who at 95 is not only the club’s oldest member but the oldest member of the entire Zone 36, which stretches from Ottawa and Smiths Falls, north to Pakenham and south to Kingston. Ken I am told is the joker in the bunch and he keeps everyone entertained with his stories. Norm Riddell is the club’s newest member. He joined a year ago when he moved to Sharbot Lake from Belleville, where he was president of the Belleville seniors’ groups, which boasted 2000 members. That being said, he still finds the Sharbot Lake group welcoming and very worthwhile. Dot Fraser is the group’s “hostess with the mostest” and she welcomes new members to “come out, enjoy a meal and make some friends.” She says the group also loves to play regular games, which include euchre, carpet bowling, table

shuffle and darts on Fridays. Donna Reid of Crow Lake was visiting the group for the first time and said that if she had known they were meeting throughout the summer she definitely would have come sooner. On the day I attended, Janet Barr of Community Living - North Frontenac and the Treasure Trunk was speaking to the group about Good Food Boxes of Kingston, which offers for a very reasonable price boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables. The group welcomes new members and will be meeting during the months of December through March at the Maples Restaurant on the third Wednesdays of every month along with the Sharbot Lake Diners.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

“Fractured Homelands” author featured in Sharbot Lake Symposium O by Jeff Green n Saturday, October 27, Bonita Lawrence, whose research into Algonquin communities led her to the publication of “Fractured Homelands”, the most comprehensive account of contemporary Algonquin communities in Frontenac County and the surrounding region, will deliver the keynote address at a free, all-day symposium being hosted by the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation at St. James Catholic Church in Sharbot Lake. Bob Lovelace, one of the organizers of the symposium, said that bringing acadamic researchers and thinkers to a public forum to talk about topical Algonquin issues that are of interest to the entire community is something he has wanted

to do for a while. “Ardoch has always been involved with university and college people who have worked with us to do research. Way back in the early ’80s, during the Rice Wars, we asked researchers from Carleton in Ottawa and Queens in Kingston to help us with biology, sociology, and legal issues. Over the years we have been studied and we have conducted our own studies. Most of this has been directed at helping us preserve Algonquin jurisdiction. Recently we decided that it was time to make this a community discussion, to bring it into our community and share the experience of knowledge gathering with our neighbors and friends,” said Lovelace. A couple of months ago, the Ardoch Algonquins put a call

South Frontenac Council - Oct. 16, 2012 Official Plan Amendment: Council passed a bylaw to amend the township’s Official Plan: along with some ‘housekeeping’ details, there were two major additions. One strengthens environmental policies, in order to minimize environmental and visual lake impacts caused by the increasing development of shorelines, and the conversion of small seasonal use cottages into larger year-round residences. Another section outlines policies for plans of condominium, defined as ‘vacant land with common elements’ i.e. a devel-

Five pounder wins big at Sydenham Legion Fishing Derby

ohn Clayton's 5 pound 4 ounce pike landed him the top prize of $200 at the Sydenham Legion Family Fishing Derby, which took place on October 13 on Sydenham Lake. Clayton, who is a Sydenham resident, said he hooked the winner while drop shotting for bass on Sydenham Lake, where 40 other anglers participated in the event. Ninety people bought tickets and following the weigh-in, prizes donated by local businesses were given out at the Sydenham Legion. Organizers Les and Jeannie Davis, and Victor Gonzalez were pleased with the turn out and hope to be holding a second derby on the lake this winter. All proceeds from the event will go to the Legion to help with repairs.

opment with individual residential lots, which share a communally maintained private lane. This amendment will now go to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for final approval. Municipal Infrastructure Investment Funding: Council agreed to submit an ‘Expression of Interest’ as a first step in applying for a portion of a recently announced Provincial grant program intended to be used for roads, bridges, and wastewater infrastructure in small municipalities. Treasurer Louise Fragnito estimates the first stage of funding should be a minimum of $23,000, which would be used to develop an asset management plan and purchase related software. Such a data base will provide the ability to forecast infrastructure needs, and plan for long-range management and funding. Bedford Resident Honoured: Councillor Tinlin announced that Susan O’Brien McTaggart of Bedford has been selected to receive a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. Frontenac Arena Debt: Councillor Vandewal noted that as 2012 is the last year for Frontenac Arena’s fundraising for its $600,000 upgrading, any outstanding debt (estimated to be somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000,) will have to be factored into the township’s 2013 budget. 2011 Audit: Auditor Vicki Leaky, of KPMG reported on her review of the township’s 2011 financial statements. She noted that everything seemed to be in good order.

out for presenters, both from the academic and local communities. What has resulted is a mixed program that will begin with a panel discussion at 9:30 am featuring Marci Webster, Susan Delisle and Regina Hartwick, all of whom have local connections. The discussion they will contribute to will deal with community well-being and education. After a break, writer Tom Pawlick will talk about food security and modern rural life, the subject matter of his most recent book: "The War in the Country – How the Fight to Save Rural Life Will Shape our Future". After lunch, Bonita Lawrence will deliver her address, followed by a discussion. The final panel of the day is called Certain Futures. It includes David Welch from the University of Ottawa, who will talk about uranium exploration in Frontenac County; Paul McCarney from Trent who will talk about another topical subject, resource management decisions on indigenous territories as an issue of original jurisdiction; and Bob Lovelace from Canoe Lake and Queen’s, whose subject is re-indigenizing the Commons. Mireille Lapointe, who teaches the Aboriginal studies course at St. John’s High School in Perth, will moderate the event. Bob Lovelace has some specific goals for the symposium. “I am hoping that we foster a better understanding between people. In the community, I am hoping that Algonquin and Settler folks will get to know each other better. I am hoping that the academic folks get to know us rural and indigenous people better. I really hope that when people from here walk on a university campus they don’t feel strange or out-of-place. I am hoping that young people in the community come to the symposium to learn what people are doing at university and decide they might want to join the action. I guess I just want to have a really good day,” he said. There is no fee for the symposium. The doors of St. James Church Hall will open at 9 am on October 27, and the symposiums runs until 4 pm.

he Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s beef recall is disturbing in its both scope and implications. More than 1,500 different kinds of meat items have been recalled because they may be contaminated with a potentially lethal strain of E. coli bacteria known as O157:H7. To date, 12 Canadians are known to have become ill from it after eating tainted meat. The U.S. has closed its borders to meat from the now notorious XL plant in Brooks, Alberta, but not before recalling 2.5 millions pounds of beef. In this region alone, retailers that may have sold contaminated product include Costco, Food Basics, Foodland, Giant Tiger, IGA, Loblaw, Metro, PC, Price Chopper, Sobey’s, ValuMart, Walmart, Your Independent Grocer and Zehr’s. (The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has up-to-date information at www.inspection.gc.ca.) Canada’s food supply is usually touted as among the safest in the world. Statistically, that’s still true. But it does beg some questions about the implications of our dependence on an industrialized food supply. If you’re a huge company making car parts and something goes wrong, a recall can encompass a dozen different manufacturers worldwide and be costly and inconvenient, but seldom results in harm. If you’re processing food industrially and something goes wrong, a recall can be massive and costly, and people may sicken or die before the problem is resolved. CFIA found multiple deficiencies at the XL plant, beginning with poor technique for detecting E. coli O157:H7, inadequate monitoring of microbiology test results, and the lack of a detailed protocol on what to do if the pathogen is detected. Other deficiencies included a broken thermometer on the evisceration table, clogged water nozzles in the primary carcass wash (12% of them), and employees touching contaminated meat, then handling beef trim (read hamburger) without properly cleaning and sanitizing their hands. It only takes 10 of these microscopic marauders to make you sick, according to a fact sheet from Canada Beef. Food handling on an industrial scale needs to be impeccable. Needless to say, it’s not. So, what’s the message – avoid beef? You could, but many of us enjoy it. It’s pretty tasty

Meanwhile, in a wok or large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 tbsp. canola oil; 4 green onions, sliced; 3 cloves garlic, minced until the onions begin to brown. Add 450 g thinly-sliced beef (e.g. sirloin or round steak); cook and stir until the meat loses its pink colour. Add 2 tbsp. each of soy sauce and beef stock; cook for 5 minutes. Add 2 medium carrots, cut in match-sticks; 1 c. finely sliced cabbage; 1 c. snow peas (or substitute frozen peas, thawed under running water); cook and stir 5 minutes more. Mix in the cooked noodles and toss until heated through. Adjust seasonings. Top with 1/4 c. chopped cashews if desired.

stuff, and it’s also a source of high quality protein, iron, B vitamins and many minerals. It’s probably fair to say that there’s never been a safer time to buy Canadian beef (the XL plant was shut down and is now under extreme CFIA scrutiny). The spotlight is shining so brightly on the industry, I’d wager every operation is minding its Ps and Qs where safety is concerned. But here’s another option: why not think about supporting our smaller beef operators and buying locally? Here we are in Small Business Week, and with the soaring feed costs from the summer’s drought, it’s a reminder that local beef farmers could use your support. Check the listings at Hands on Harvest (handsonharvest.ca) to find a source of sustainably raised, fully inspected, safe and delicious beef, produced by someone who can look you in the eye and answer your questions about how the beef was raised and readied for sale. When you do shop for local beef, it can be hard to reconcile the higher prices with an unyielding household budget. One of the best ways to do this is by treating meat the way the Chinese do, using it almost as a seasoning, rather than a “takes-up-half-theplate” affair. That way, you can enjoy the best quality beef around, support a local farmer, and enjoy varied and creative meals. Here’s a simple weeknight recipe you can have on the table in 30 minutes or less. It’s made with ingredients you probably already have on hand, and it will satisfy everyone’s craving for Chinese, no take-out required. Bon appétit!

s temperatures take a plunge and the fall leaves are dropping faster than you can sing “Bye, Bye Birdie”, badminton enthusiasts are digging out their racquets and birdies for another season of play at Sharbot Lake High School. For those looking for a bit of fun and fitness this fall and winter- all you need is a pair of gym shoes in order to play. Ron Abbott will take care of the rest. For the tiny fee of five bucks per school semester,

A Promise for You “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name [than Jesus Christ] under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” Acts 4:12

you can hit the birdie till your heart’s content with other like-minded enthusiasts. Abbott, who has been overseeing the community activity for going on 30 years now, is hoping to see more people out to play this season after seeing the numbers dwindle last year. “The numbers tend to go up and down each year- some years we have too many players but last year often we would not have enough people to fill the two courts.” Children are welcome if accompanied by adults. The first term just started and will end in January. However, those interested should not wait until January to begin since construction at the school might make the second term of play an impossibility. If you have them, bring your own racquets and birdies, but if you don't, Ron will be happy to supply you with what you need. For more information call Ron at 613-374-3212.

Outdoors in the Land O’ Lakes - Black Widows! by Lorraine Julien W

ith frost on the pumpkins and leaves falling from the trees, you just know that spooky Hallowe’en is just around the corner! I tried to think of the creepiest subject for this column and the Northern Black Widow Spider (properly known as Latrodectus variolus) came instantly to mind. Over the past few years, there have been a few sightings of this southern Ontario native. In some rare cases, this insect has even bitten a few unlucky people. The main thing to remember though is that the Northern Black Widow is very rarely encountered. Many entomologists have never even seen one of these spiders in the wild in Ontario, so your chance of seeing one is remote (hopefully!). The Northern Black Widow is a very timid and shy spider that quietly goes about its business spinning its webs and hiding in dark, damp places in the hope of catching its prey. Favourite locations are around wood piles, garbage piles, storage sheds, veggie gardens, old tree stumps and under rocks or logs where they can wait for their favourite food: flies, mosquitoes, beetles and grasshoppers. The only risk of being bitten is if you happen to disturb them. The one to watch out for is the female; the male does not bite. Both predators and prey get tangled in the funnel-shaped web. When this happens, the spider wraps more silk around the unlucky victim and paralyzes it with venom. The spider then drags the bundle home to enjoy the feast. If you happen to be bitten, clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water and apply an ice pack to slow down the venom. Ibuprofen will help alleviate the pain. You should seek medical attention at the nearest hospital as medicine to counteract Black Widow Spider venom (anti-venom) is available in Canada.

If possible, photograph or collect the spider. A Black Widow’s venom is said to be 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake, but the tiny amount of venom a spider injects with one bite is rarely fatal for humans. Bite symptoms at the site include redness, swelling, and itching. In 30-60 minutes, pain will start in muscle groups, cramps and abdominal pain. Pain and cramping are worse between 2-3 hours and may last up to 36 hours or longer. Other symptoms include perspiration, nausea, fatigue, shock and coma. It’s important to remember that most people (99% of those who are bitten) suffer no serious injury or death. Small children, the elderly or those with compromised immune systems are most at risk. The finger-nail sized female is shiny black with a large abdomen and a red or yellowish marking on the underside of her belly (if you should get so close!). The abdomen markings are two red triangles whose tips don’t quite touch (almost like an hourglass). The male Black Widow is actually dark brown, is half the size of the female, doesn’t bite and doesn’t have venom. In fact, the poor fellow is usually eaten by the female after she’s mated with him. Black Widows may become more common as our winters get milder and our summers hotter. They cannot survive in really cold weather. Probably more of these spiders were spotted this year because of the mild winter we experienced last year. Although the Northern Black Widow is slightly smaller and not quite as venomous as its more famous cousin the Southern Black Widow (Latrodectus maclans), you definitely do not want to fool around with it. The bottom line is that while you may want to keep an eye out for this kind of spider, there is no reason to fear them as they are still quite rare, very reclusive and it’s ex-

tremely unlikely that you’d be bitten. There is no reason to spray or kill every spider you see because it is not necessary. Happy Hallowe’en, everyone! OBSERVATIONS: Shirley Dunn of Bennington, Idaho, writes that on Oct. 4 she saw a beautiful bird at her bird feeder that she had never seen before. She looked it up on

the Internet and found Steve Blight’s article on Evening Grosbeaks on our website. The Evening Grosbeak was all by itself and it is a rare bird in her area, so she wrote in to let us know. Thanks, Shirley. Please send your observations to Steve Blight at natureobservations@rogers.com or Lorraine Julien, naturewatching@gmail.com

By Jule Koch n Oct. 9 & 10, the Sky Family from PEI presented a “Celtic Revival” at two area churches. The family of musicians and dancers are on a cross-country tour. On Oct. 9, they performed at the River of Life Christian Fellowship in Plevna, and on Oct. 10 at Bethel Pentecostal Church in Kaladar. There were over 100 people at each concert. The group, which consists of Tom Petrofsky, his sons, Seth, Joel and Gabe, and daughter Miriam, presented an energy-packed performance of original Celtic music on a vast

array of musical instruments, along with impeccable Irish step dancing, lots of humor, and even a wild Cossack dance by Gabe. However, the heart of the presentation was a gospel message and testimony by Tom Petrofsky. Pastor Raymond Klatt of the River of Life Fellowship said they hoped to have the group again. “The Sky Family was fantastic. Many people were blessed and encouraged with their walk with the Lord and a wonderful challenge was given to follow the Lord. They sure brought revival to Plevna!” For information visit www.theskys.org

Fundraiser pulls in $6,700 by Jeff Green t’s always a tricky enterprise organizing a first-time fund raising event. However by joining forces, Jane Drew, executive director of Central Frontenac Housing, and Marcel Giroux, a board member with the Kingston chapter of the Alzheimer’s Society, pulled off an event that combined the buzz of a live auction with the pleasures of two sets of music spanning the 10-year recording career of Oh Susanna. Both Jane and Marcel made full use of their personal community and family networks to pull the event off - and raise $6,700 to boot. Jane’s husband, Auctioneer Garry Drew, was put to service. He gathered many of the items for the auctions from the local business community, conducted the 19item live auction in a humorous and effec-

tive manner, and even swept up the hall at the end of the night. Jane did most of the organisational work, and the arm twisting to get everyone on board. Among the work that Marcel Giroux put into the event was a phone call he made to his son Cam in Toronto. He asked Cam to come up for a weekend in October, and maybe play some drums. He also asked if Cam’s wife Susie would be coming as well. Susie Ungerleider, who performs as Oh Susanna, is a frequent visitor to Sharbot Lake with Cam and their son Sal. As she said during a break in her performance, normally when she is in Sharbot Lake on a Friday night, that means dinner at the Legion. The first part of the evening belonged to Garry Drew, who entertained and ca-

joled people out of their money at the auction, which included a signed Maple Leafs sweater, a load of gravel, golfing packages and other interesting items, all of which went for good prices. Then in a relaxed performance, with Burke Carroll on dobro and steel guitar, Cam Giroux on drums and background vocals, and herself on guitar and lead vocals, Oh Susanna performed songs from all of her recordings, including a number from her latest release, Soon the Birds. The songs, as always were powerful and honest, and beautifully performed by the singer-songwriter and her two-man band. Burke Carroll was particularly interesting to watch because not only was he able to provide tasteful backup on some of the softer songs, he was also able to rock out on the heavier numbers, even as he was sitting and playing dobro. The evening ended with the announcement of the winning bidders from a large and varied number of silent auction items. Central Frontenac Housing is a five-unit, seniors residence, located on Clement Road near Sharbot Lake. The Alzheimer’s Society operates a program out of the Seniors Centre in Sharbot Lake, among other local activities.
