Changes coming to CF waste sites

by Jeff Green aste Management Supervisor Kyle Labbett brought a number of updates and proposals to a meeting of Central Frontenac Council this week (February 12). First, he informed Council that as of February 1st the township’s recycling program has expanded. The township now accepts most forms of styrofoam, including cups and flat styrofoam trays, as well as plastic grocery bags, bread bags, wood pellet bags, etc. All recyclable materials must be cleaned. This expansion of the recycling program comes on the heels of the release of recycling results in 2012, when the township went to a clear bag system for waste. Cans and plastics were up 29% in 2012 over 2011 and mixed fibre (paper) recycling was up 15%. A further change is coming to the recycling program, since Council approved the recommended purchase of large, 40 cubic yard recycling bins to replace the ageing 16 yard bins that are currently in place. Buying the new bins is tied in with setting up hauling contracts with a private hauler to transport them. The entire cost of the purchase of the bins and a new compactor is prohibitive, $200,000, but according to a report from the Waste Management Committee, because of more efficient operations over 10 years there will be a savings, and over 15 years the township will not only have paid back the $200,000, but will be ahead by another $184,000. Council gave the Public Works department its approval to seek proposals for bins, a compactor, and a hauling contract.

by Jeff Green

ith more than a little bit of a push from the Province of Ontario, municipal councils throughout Ontario are completing service delivery reviews and asset management plans. North Frontenac is the first local township to go through these exercises, and on Monday, February 11, North Frontenac Council was the first to receive reports from the auditors at KPMG about their operating costs and the capital costs they face over the next 10 years. And in the North Frontenac case, the news was not as bad as some councilors thought it was going to be. “This township is a well-run township in our estimation, given the municipalities we have looked at in recent years,” said Bruce Peever of KPMG after delivering his final report. “Of course you have issues that are not easy to deal with and there is a certain political element to financial decision-making and certain expectations about service levels to grapple with.” “If we were doing poorly, would you tell us that?” asked Councilor Lonnie Watkins in response. “We did talk to one municipality that had significant issues. We weren’t necessarily blunt but we certainly weren’t as flowery in our language,” said Peever. One of the major features of the Services Review report was a comparison with 6 other municipalities of the same approximate size as North Frontenac that are located nearby. These included Central Frontenac and

though the Arden dump has not accepted any waste since 2007, it has technically been in limbo, and it has a limited amount (600 cubic metres – about 30 dump truck loads) of potential dump space available.

NAEC students connect with Canadian astronaut by Julie Druker t is not often that local students are presented with an opportunity to work alongside an astronaut - and even less often with an astronaut who happens to be on a special mission orbiting the earth in the International Space Station. But that is the case for grade nine science students at the North Addington Education Centre in Cloyne, who along with students from 250 other schools across the country, will be working alongside the Canadian Space Agency astronaut in a special study to document data comparing radiation levels on earth and in outer space. Melissa Randle, who heads up the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences at NAEC and teaches science there, will be working with grade nine science students at the school. They will be measuring and recording data collected from a specialized bubble detector, known as a Personal Neutron Dosimeter. The device, which has been supplied to the school by Bubble Technology Industries, is a small hand-held instrument that measures radiation levels in the environment. Astronaut Hatfield will be conducting similar experiments in space and both he and students from across the country will be collecting the data from February 11-18 and again from March 6-13.

The bubble collector the students will be using at the school was developed with Canadian technology at Chalk River. During the data collection dates the detector will be left outside the school for 24-hour intervals. Tiny bubbles that form in the gel inside the glass detector indicate the particular dose of neutron radiation that is being received. Randle explained what she and students can expect to find from the data that they collect. “We should expect to see a significantly lower level of radiation here on earth as compared to levels in space, since radiation levels are one of the biggest hurdles that astronauts in space are faced with.” NAEC students are the only students from the Limestone District School Board who will be participating in the project, which Randle sees as a great way to bring science alive for students at the school. “Astronomy can be a hard subject for students to engage with since it is so huge and so ‘out of this world’. So this project is a great way for them not only to engage but also to get a better understanding of Canada’s contribution to what is happening currently in space right now.” The student action project was made available to students from across the country through a company called CurioCity, a

branch of Let’s Talk Science. Students at the school will also be watching videos of Hadfield and will be keeping in touch with him throughout his space journey through

Itchy green thumbs swap seeds at MERA

by Julie Druker t the MERA school house on February 9, the second annual seed swap took place and growers had a huge variety of seeds to choose from. Three tables were set up in MERA’s main hall and guests were invited to take and donate seeds, all in order to share the wealth of a number of heritage and open-pollinated varieties of flowers, herbs and vegetables. Organized by Kristine Swaren of Blue Chicory Garden and Simon Lever of Windblest Farm, the event attracted growers from far and wide looking for new and interesting varieties of plants to grow. In the soup bean category there were Arikara beans, a drought-resistant yellow soup bean that many growers were interested in due to last summer’s drought conditions. Expert growers of medicinal herbs donated a variety of seeds that piqued the interest of attendees. These included Feverfew, a medicinal herb that treats headaches, and Calendula, which is often used in skin creams and whose flowers are thought to relieve the winter blues. Growers also scooped up seeds of Holy Basil, an East Indian strain of basil that is known to be both anti-viral and energizing. In the flower department there was Milk Thistle, a beautiful ornamental flower that can be used to make a tea that is good for the kidneys. At the veggie table growers were

introduced to Floriani Red Flint corn, a variety of corn, which is not grown to eat fresh but to make corn flour. There was also a interesting variety of tomato called Giallo a Grappoli, which the donor picked in the fall and then set in a cool garage where it was harvested throughout the winter months. Seed swaps are especially useful for gardeners looking to preserve heritage plants and wanting to learn about new and interesting varieties of plants, veggies and flowers. As Kristine explained. “A lot of these growers have saved these seeds from plants they themselves have grown. So the varieties you see here are either open pollinated or heritage varieties, not hybrids. Hybrid seed cannot be grown again and come true to type. So basically what people are doing here is preserving heritage varieties.” One grower reminded seed takers with a note on her packet of seeds that said, “Please take only if you are serious about growing this out and returning the seeds to the swap in two years’ time.” There were numerous seeds of plants that growers are no longer able to find in seed catalogues, like Hollow Crown parsnip and also Multi-star peas. Kristine explained that growers will often attend seed swaps prior to ordering seeds through catalogues. “What I tend to do is make a wish list of all the seeds that I want to

CF Council - continued from page 1 formally close the dump,” said Labbett. Again, Council concurred. After dealing with all the waste matters, which took over an hour to work through, Public Works Manager Mike Richardson said to Council – “I promise not to bring Kyle with me the next time I bring a report.”

buy and a lot of them I have been able to find here so I do not have to order them. So not only are you getting the seeds for free but you are also able to talk to those who have grown them and learn a lot from their experience.” Simon Lever found some herb and bean seeds that he has an interest in establishing at his farm, so he was really excited by some of Simon Lever and Kristine Swaren, organizers of the MERA Seed Swap with those varieties. Organizers are plan- avid gardener Roseanna Redmond ning to run a seed saving workshop later in the summer at MERA due to the expression of interest from numerous growers. For those who missed the MERA swap, have no fear. Many of the participants will be attending the Seedy Sunday seed swap, which will take place at the Perth Legion on Sunday March 3.

Let’s not be so easy on CP, says Richardson Mike Richardson commented on a proposal by CP Rail to put in a signal stop at the railway crossing on Eagle Lake Road. In a letter to the township, CP said that the federal government is cutting back on subsidy money for these kinds of projects. Under the system that applies until now, the government would cover $219,000 of the $273,00 cost, with the township paying $34,000 and CP $20,000. With the change the Feds will only pay $136,000 and they recommend that CP cover the difference, bringing their cost to over $100,000. Not wanting to spend that kind of money, CP is asking Central Frontenac to double their commitment, so both Central Frontenac and CP would pay $68,000. “CP rail would be happy if we said yes to this but I think we should be a little bit miserable with them over this,” said Richardson. He suggests that the township go to the County or to the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus to seek support from others in the same position, and Mayor Gutowski said she will indeed bring the matter forward to those bodies. Road allowance for habitat – The township’s lawyers, Cunningham and Swan, have agreed to waive their fees to stop up and close a road allowance for the proposed Habitat for Humanity project on a lot on the east side of Road 38 just north of Tichborne. Council agreed to waive their fees as well to help the project along. Recreation guide to go ahead – Council agreed to pay $1,500 towards the production of a Central and North Frontenac Recreation Guide for 2013, an increase from the $900 they contributed in 2012. The increased cost came about because Northern Frontenac Community Services backed out of the guide, which is produced by the Frontenac News.

Letters to the editor No longer caring about land claim

t has gotten so that I care little however the land claim goes even though I am Algonquin. The standard procedure of governmental delays, selfish non-native people's protests about their property values, and government fostered native people's willingness to betray and take from each other has sickened me. Additionally that does not mention the lawyers' willingness to extract huge amounts of money by dragging out the process, a process which drains away what would have gone to the native peoples. Nor does it mention the paltry settlement the government offers. It is obvious this is the standard procedure the government has fostered. The only people who profit from this are the lawyers. The government doesn't care since they can burn all the taxpayers’ money they want to get what they want. Many native people die of old age waiting, just as the government hopes. The whole process is a modified and now legal continuation of the extermination of native peoples. David Bate

Reminder to fishermen

ust a reminder to walleye fishermen in Ontario Fisheries Management Zone 18 that there is now a slot size effective January 1 2013. Fisheries Management Zone 18 extends roughly from Stirling to Hawkesbury and from Arnprior to Kingston. Walleye between 40cm and 50cm in total length (15.7" to 19.7") can be kept. Fish smaller than 40cm and larger that 50cm must be released quickly and unharmed back to the water. Length is measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail fin with the 2 lobes compressed together. Daily maximum limits are four fish with a sport licence and two fish with a conservation licence. The season ends March 1st and re-opens on the 2nd Saturday in May. Compliance with these regulations are enforced by Conservation Officers. If everyone follows these rules, or keeps fewer walleye than the maximum limit, then we should see improvements in our walleye fisheries in Zone 18. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, the season is open from the 3rd Saturday in June to December 15. The earlier date for the opening of bass season has been justified since general warming of our climate has resulted in earlier bass spawning. David Praskey Big Clear Lake Steward

NF Council - continued from pg 1 Addington Highlands. North Frontenac has significantly higher administration costs than the others, but Bruce Peever said there is no uniformity to how different municipalities account for administration costs. He pointed to only a moderate potential for cost savings through re-organizing some job descriptions. On the other hand, the potential for savings in the Fire Rescue service, Community Services (community halls, economic development, street lights etc.), roads, and waste management are all listed as “high”. The report concludes that the current fire service, “specifically the wide range of rescue services and the number of fire halls – could be adjusted to provide for cost savings, recognising the associated reduction in service levels and potential for public relations implications.” Similarly the report concludes that the

“operation of five community halls represents an opportunity for consolidation to allow for the construction of a new municipal facility.” In terms of roads, the report says that “current service levels exceed the minimum service level standards,” but it recognises any reduction in service brings with it “the potential for adverse response by residents”. The waste management service levels were also flagged as being well higher than the minimum service level standard, and in that case Bruce Peever said the township may consider combined purchasing of engineering and monitoring services with other townships. Overall, North Frontenac spends less than the average of the 6 comparator townships on waste (73%) and roads (68%). In a section called “Opportunities For Savings” Peever noted that one of the easiest things to do would be to cut Council down from 7 to 5 members (the mayor and deputy mayor, elected at large, and one representative from each of the 3 districts), which would save $38,000 per year. Closing three halls (Harlowe, Snow Road and Clar/Mill), which is not quite as easy to do, would save about $37,000 in maintenance costs per year and save over

$100,000 in capital costs that are going to be required at those three halls. $80,000 per year could be saved by developing tiered response for winter road maintenance (i.e. cutting back on service to secondary gravel roads) and $15,000 per year could be saved by joint tendering with neighbouring municipalities for purchase of salt/sand/calcium. Potential changes in fire service, administration, and waste management are noted, but the potential savings were not included in the report. Because KPMG projects that North Frontenac will need to increase its spending on road and bridge capital improvements by over 3% from 2012 levels, it projects that operating costs need to come down by $161,000 in order to keep taxation at the same level as 2012. After receiving the information from KPMG, Council moved into a discussion of the 2013 budget.

· Get well soon wishes are extended to Jerry Bertrim of Piccadilly. · Dean and Violet Hickey were the recent winners in an OFA Hay Raffle. Saturday a transport of hay all the way from Saskatchewan was delivered to their farm on Evergreen Rd. Without this hay these farmers would have had to sell their cattle. Dean and Violet wish to thank Bill Snyder, the road crew from the township for making sure that their road was clear for the delivery and John Clow and John Jennings for helping to unload it. It is wonderful to hear that these farmers can continue to farm. · A great group of neighbours came out on Saturday in Piccadilly to help one of their own with a wood cutting bee. Lots of wood was cut and a wonderful community potluck took place after at the Piccadilly Hall. It was especially gratifying to see the many young people who took part. · Happy birthday wishes to Dale Younge and Doreen Fitzgerald celebrating this week.

Weddings on Twitter O

ne of the current trends in the world of wedding planning is the un-invitation. An un-invitation, usually done through email or some other one-on-one messaging system, though rarely through physical mail, is a way of letting people know they are not invited to a wedding. You may wonder why this is necessary, shouldn’t non-receipt of an invitation imply

THE FRONTENAC NEWS By Jeff Green

that one is not invited to a wedding? This is true, but we are now living in the age of social media, and a given couple could easily have 1,000 Facebook friends and twitter followers between them, and even with overlap there may be 500 people who know way too much about their pending nuptials. By the time a contemporary couple tie the knot, they have likely posted hundreds of photos of themselves hugging, kissing, goofing around at costume parties and on the beach. They may have posted pictures of the wedding hall, the colour scheme, the honeymoon destination. Not only do their 500 combined social media “friends” know about the wedding, they have been included in the details of the planning. But only about 100 of them are going to be invited. It is not necessary to send 400 un-invitations because at least half of those 500 “friends” are likely only really “friends of friends”, but there may be 100 or 150 “friends” who might be hoping for an invite. They may be saving the date. Best to put them out of their misery by politely un-inviting them.

Custom Made

Wedding Cakes & a Selection of Dresses for Brides & Attendants

There is a new alternative to this uncomfortable situation, and it is something that could be the trend of the year in 2013. Instead of being trapped by social media, embrace it entirely, and conduct the whole wedding on twitter. All you need is a hashtag, say #joanneandpaul where the wedding will be virtually held. The advantage is that no one needs to be excluded, the vows will be short (a limit of 140 characters, and anyone who is late will have the entire event reconstructed for them. The bride and groom and whoever is officiating need not even be in the same place, or even on the same continent. “Do you, Joanne, take Paul to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in heal #Joanneandpaul”. Uh-oh, 140 characters makes for an awkward conclusion to those vows so they need to be condensed a bit, but the “I do’s” will easily fit. There is even an opportunity for tension. Picture this scenario. What if Joanne tweets “I do” but when it comes to Paul’s turn, as 500 people are watching their twitter feed intently ... 30 seconds pass and no tweet is forthcoming. Did Paul bolt? Is he thinking about it? Did he get called away? Did he lose his Internet connection? Then, after say 45 seconds, the tweets start coming

in from the virtual witnesses: “Cold feet??? LOL”; “Somebody text Paul;”; “Knew he would do this, he’s always been like that. Remember the time when he was dating that girl Kathy and he said he wa”, And then comes the delayed tweet from Paul “I do. I love you so much Joanne. This is the best day of my life,”. What a relief. They are now happily married and all is well. All that is left is for the photos to be posted on Tumblr and Instagram, and we’re done. But wait a minute, even as the minister is fumbling with their keyboard trying to type out “I now pronounce you husband and wife”, a tweet from Joanne is posted. “Paul, who is this Kathy???” Uh oh. Maybe we should stick to live weddings after all.

lthough Bob Seger was referring to “that old time rock and roll”, many of us are reminiscing about “the days of old” as we look back affectionately on all the wonderful times spent at Sharbot Lake High School. Even with all the excitement that accompanies the building of a “new” educational facility, there are many fond memories that come to mind as we say goodbye to the “old” school.

Sharbot Lake High School “Last Waltz”

In celebration of those “by-gone days”, a committee of energetic organizers has planned a final opportunity for SLHS alumni to gather together before the old building is subjected to a wrecking ball. The event, which is taking place on Saturday, May 25th, 2013, is being referred to as The Last Waltz, and has been planned in combination with the 65th Anniversary of Sharbot Lake High School. The Last Waltz is intended to be a tribute to all the wonderful music that has been performed on the SLHS auditorium stage. It will involve a concert beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing well into the afternoon, featuring an array of alumni musicians representing much of what has been enjoyed on the SLHS auditorium stage over the years. Wrist bands can be purchased at the door for $5, allowing people to come and go throughout the day. The concert will provide an entertaining backdrop for a celebration of the school’s 65th Anniversary giving people the opportunity to socialize

with old friends, and reminisce about “the good old days” as they enjoy a variety of displays and memorabilia. Lunch will be available on-site. The supper time period has been left open for people to relax with friends and family before the evening fun begins. The day will culminate with a Concert/Dance from 7:30 p.m. to midnight featuring the extremely talented Shawn McCullough and his band. It is going to be a great evening of merriment with a light buffet included and a licensed bar. Tickets will be $30/person. Due to limited space, they will be sold in advance, and can be obtained from the SLHS main office. If you are looking forward to attending, make sure that you purchase your tickets well ahead of time. So mark May 25 on your calendar, and join us for an enjoyable trip “Down Memory Lane”. Although the organizing committee is doing its best to advertise the event, we are also relying on the power of social media to get the word out. Please let other alumni know by messaging your former classmates online. You might even consider combining this event with plans for your own group reunion. See you at the Last Waltz!

Habitat For Humanity looking for potential homeowners A By Sharon Matthews

Heritage Festival Walk/Run Family Relay

Heri Bear shows off the trophy donated by Anne Howes of the Rising Bun for first local in the 2k Heritage Run with last year’s winners, Macy Whan and Kyle Kinkley Dale. Kyle is moving up to the 5k this year. Races will start at the Oso Beach on Mon. Feb.18. Sign up at 12:30pm. Walks start at 1pm. and runs at 1:30pm. Information: Rudy, 613-279-2761

s reported earlier, Habitat for Humanity is looking to come to Central Frontenac later this year. This creates a great opportunity for a hard working family wanting to own their own home. Habitat can make the dream of homeownership affordable. With Habitat, your down payment is 500 volunteer hours rather than cash savings. Those hours can be paid by volunteering on committees, working on the construction site, or any number of other activities. Even your children and families can get involved to help you earn your hours. Did you know that your children’s school grades can contribute volunteer hours? Habitat also does not charge interest on the mortgage which makes payments much more affordable than a traditional bank mortgage. A simple modest home can be within your reach. Equally important, while the family who gets the home wins, so to does the community. The families' monthly mortgage payments get reinvested back into the community, and

are used to build more homes for families. To be eligible a family must be in need of better housing. Future homeowners who are selected must have a regular, permanent income from employment or long-term disability, but are unable to afford a conventional mortgage. The maximum family income for consideration is currently at $55,000. Families with income above the maximum income can still be considered if they have extraordinary costs such as medications. A family's determination to improve their current housing situation and their willingness to participate in Habitat for Humanity activities and tackle the work involved is also a major consideration. If you think you could be Habitat’s next homeowner, please call Jane Drew at 613-3756142 for more information and to get an expression of interest application form. Also, as Habitat gears up to come into our community, if you are interested in helping out please email Sharonm.longlake@gmail. com or phone Sharon at 613-375-8343. Let’s show our community spirit and support this great opportunity!

Peter Mansbridge presenting Karl Hansen with his Diamond Jubilee Medal

A Life of Service By Karleen Griffin

t was my honour to accompany my father, Karl Hansen, of Harrowsmith, to the final Diamond Jubilee Gala at Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto on February 6, 2013. This was the final celebration for recipients of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, recognizing those who have contributed a life of service. In Queen Elizabeth II’s speech delivered on April 21, 1947 she said: “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be dedicated to your service…” In Lieutenant Governor David C. Onley’s address, he stated that, “it was (his) hope that (all the recipients of this medal) will further inspire others to give back to our great province and country.” The medals were presented by the Lieutenant Governor Onley and other former vice-regal representatives and other extraordinary Canadians. For the evening’s entertainment, Peter Mansbridge served as Master of Ceremonies. There were musical performances by such artists as Michael Burgess, Tom Cochrane, Bruce Cockburn and Liona Boyd. There were also comments from Free the Children founder Craig Kielburger and video messages from astronaut Chris Hadfield and the Prince of Wales. All the messages commented on the many contributions of the recipients and Canadians in general. The Prince of Wales stated that his family has always been so proud of Canada’s strong contingent of volunteers and emphasized the importance of volunteering to keep our communities, our country and our world strong. Karl Hansen’s medal was in recognition of significant achievement and remarkable service. His 66 years of volunteer service have ranged from participation with cadets, clubs and teams, to assisting with church and school functions to serving on the Lieutenant Governor’s Advisory Council for the Police Bravery medal.

he volunteers at the Ompah library had satellite internet service reinstalled last week, to replace the federal government’s CAP program, which ended last year. It has now been reopened in memory of John Conrad, who was a great help and friend to many people in their computer frustrations. The library group made the financial commitment to a two-year contract, believing that internet access is an essential service, especially for low income residents, summer residents, and tourists, many of whom were thankful for the site when CAP was funding it. The termination of the CAP program was a huge loss to small sites in rural areas like ours. The Kingston Frontenac Public Library was also using CAP, but, being funded by Kingston and Frontenac County tax dollars, has reallocated resources to continue internet service. In addition, North Frontenac Township covers the salary cost of the public internet student assistants in Plevna and Cloyne branches. The Ompah library has enjoyed a lot of support, from the township for the use of the building, from Mazinaw-on-Line for much technical and financial

support, and from donations by patrons and friends. Based on that support, and with the funds generated for full-time wireless access, the Ompah library group has made a big commitment for internet service for the next two years. As ‘The Little Library that Could’ – we think we can, we think we can- make it work. The volunteers invite the community to come in, meet their neighbours, enjoy a fine book and DVD collection, and use the internet for free during winter hours - Wed. 10-12, and Sat 12-2. For a nominal fee, wireless access by password can be purchased. That access can be used anytime outside the library and lasts for 3 months from its first use or until the time limit is reached, a worthwhile investment for regular users.

Ritchie/Beattie Amy and James are pleased to announce the birth of their daughter Jordyn Elizabeth Ritchie born January 3, 2013, weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz. Jordyn's arrival has made Blake a very proud big brother. Grandparents are Donna and Stephen Ritchie of Harrowsmith, Linda Beattie of Kingston, and Carl and Tina Beattie of Kingston. Great-grandparents are Ethel Dubeau of Sharbot Lake, Doug and Sheila Ritchie of Harrowsmith, and Francis Beattie of Perth. Great-great-grandmother is Lillian Burke of Sharbot Lake.

CARD OF THANKS

There’s a saying in medical circles, “What’s good for the heart is good for the head.” As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, what could be more romantic than tending to the well-being of the heart? Biologically speaking, when the blood vessels of the heart are healthy, they’re elastic and smooth inside and not angry and inflamed and prone to blockages; that applies equally to the blood vessels of the head, the only pathways for the nourishment of the irreplaceable brain. The vital job of keeping our blood vessels healthy and happy belongs not just to Valentine’s Day, but to every day. The thing about heart disease is that it seems so remote… until you have it. Then it saps you. It can be painful, debilitating and downright scary - in a word, heartbreaking. Yet there are so many things we can do to prevent it. The key, it seems, is to embrace a good-for-you approach to life that gives us pleasure every day. Even those of us who struggle to exercise regularly are always struck by how much better we feel when we do. And getting enough sleep? A pleasure in its own right. Wholesome, balanced meals can be marvellous to eat and even to prepare. Are we really so rushed we can’t manage a proper meal together? We can rearrange our priorities and make it happen if we help each other out, and that pushes everyone’s happiness buttons. That’s good for our health today and down the road, too. There’s a ton of press about the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, and deservedly so. These fats combat

Thank You - Kellar Lookout Home Hardware Building Centre has been the centre of our lives for over 26 years. What a wonderful work and social experience! We were fortunate to have a terrific contractor and customer base. Thank you to everyone who has graced our doors in the past. We will miss seeing your faces on a less regular basis. We are passing the Lookout torch on to very capable hands and wish Richard Ellard, the new owner, Jason Lessard, his manager, and the remarkable staff at Lookout, future success. Thank you all, Rick and Gina Kellar

Hugs to my Mom's brother Bob Gordon & Jane for their many trips from Osgoode to Arden to comfort Dad and me and to my mom's sister Carol Fleck, for her daily calls to see how we were doing. Our biggest thank you is to Mom, from your loving husband Gary, daughter Lori, son-in-law Allen and three grandchildren Matt, Jake and Troy for being such an amazing, kind and loving wife, mother and "Bomma" to your family and giving us so many precious years. We will always love you and miss you. XOX Gary, Lori, Allen, Matt, Jake & Troy and CJ

IN MEMORIAM

Campbell Cheston Ronald Benjamin October 6, 1986 - February 11, 2007. Time may heal a broken heart. Time may make the wounds less sore. Time can never stop the longing, For the loved ones gone before. Sadly missed by Gram Jean Campbell, sister Sasha, Auntie Heather & family

inflammation, promote proper nerve transmission, and help regulate blood triglycerides (a bad fat) and blood pressure, all of which can have a positive effect on the heart. But taking supplements doesn’t seem to confer the same health benefits as getting your omega-3s from fish. Those who are talented ice fishermen will rejoice, but the rest of us will have to get our fish elsewhere. Fortunately, more and more grocery stores are bringing in fresh fish, and frozen fish, which is easier to find and equally nutritious, is very versatile, too. Fatty fish like salmon, trout and mackerel give you the most omega-3 bang-for-your-buck. They are excellent choices a couple of times a week. Have you ever thought of having fish for breakfast? If you’re not a confident fish cook, Kedgeree is kind of a cheat. It’s an Indian-inspired dish of lentils, rice and smoked fish that dates back to British colonial days. Substantial and satisfying, it would be very at-home as part of a specialoccasion brunch. Bon appétit!

KEDGEREE Makes 4 servings

Cook 1 c. brown rice (or converted rice) according to package directions. (May be prepared up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Or use 2 cups leftover cooked rice) To prepare hard-cooked eggs, put 4 large eggs in a small saucepan with cold water to cover by an inch. Cover and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately remove from heat and let sit undisturbed for 6 minutes. Drain and rinse in two changes of cold water. Peel, quarter lengthwise, and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, gently cook 2 tsp. each butter and vegetable oil; 1/4 c. finely chopped onion and 1 tbsp. medium curry paste over medium heat until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over 1 tbsp. flour; cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 1 minute. Off heat, add 1 1/4 c. milk; 1 tsp. dried dillweed; 1/2 tsp. salt; stir to combine. Return to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat. Fold in 1/2 c. cooked lentils (or canned lentils, rinsed and drained); 1/2 c. frozen peas and reserved cooked rice. Cook gently, breaking up any chunks of rice until the mixture is heated through. Transfer to a warm serving platter. Arrange on top 4 oz. smoked salmon cut in bite-size pieces ringed with wedges of lemon (opt.) and reserved hard-cooked egg quarters. Sprinkle with parsley or chopped fresh dill if desired.

New face for Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society C

aitlin Norwich-Stevenson has taken over as the new public education coordinator for the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington and she is looking forward to serving individuals and families in North, Central and South Frontenac. The society currently has an office in Sharbot Lake in the Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centre, which has been used as the base for serving individuals and families in the community. Caitlin takes over the position from outgoing public education coordinator Bob Fisher, who will continue to serve the society on a part-time basis in Napanee. Caitlin, who hails from Smithville, ON, a small town in the Niagara region, currently lives with her husband in Seeleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay. She is a recent graduate from the three-year Behavioral Sciences Technology program at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, where she graduated in 2012. In her new role Caitlin will be in charge of public education for all of Kingston and the Frontenacs. She will be supporting individuals and

by Julie Druker

families who have been affected by Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and other forms of dementia on a one-on-one/as needed basis and will also be providing information to individuals and families about how they can access services in the community. Caitlin spoke of the challenges she will be facing in an effort to get the word out about the supports available to those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be tough, especially in rural communities where people are so spread out, to make known the various services and supports that are available to them. One of the ways that I will be addressing that issue is by networking with various church groups, volunteer groups, long-term care facilities and other community organizations. We [the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society] will also be hosting various public education and public awareness events in the rural areas to let people know exactly what services and supports are available to them.â&#x20AC;? Caitlin is currently in the process of planning a public awareness event that will take place in Sharbot Lake in the spring.

Asked why she decided to get involved in this particular line of work, she explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand the increasing need for people working in this field as the population ages. And I also understand how Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other forms of dementia are not diseases that just affect the individuals diagnosed but also their families and friends. I want to be there to support everyone involved when they are faced with the various challenges that come up.â&#x20AC;? Asked about other challenges that face her in her new role as public educator she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest challenge by far is the stigma attached to these diseases. Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and other forms of dementia are so largely not understood and The Caitlin Norwich-Stevenson people always have a tendency to fear what they do not understand. This lack of un8109 Hwy 38, Godfrey ON derstanding is largely what prevents people from getting the help they need and as a result, unfortunately many individuals and families can tend Dual Fuel to become very isolated.â&#x20AC;? Caitlin Models also wanted to stress the fact that she is hoping to help not just individuals whoAvailable have been diagnosed and their families but also anyone who may have any questions at all about Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other forms of dementia. She also advised individuals or families wanting more information about symptoms and 613 signs to reach out to the Society but also to speak 374-2566 with their family physician. Caitlin said she is happy to anOR 1-888-674-2566 swer any questions people may have. She can be reached at her Kingston office at 613-544-3078.
