he Community Foundation of Kingston and Area (CFKA), in conjunction with community foundations from across the country, has prepared reports on the well being of Kingston and Frontenac County residents each year for the past five years. This year, the CFKA has partnered with KFL&A (Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington) Public Health to prepare a survey of residents in the region. The survey was designed to determine where the region stand in terms of the well-being of the residents. For the purposes of the resulting report, titled Vital Signs, well-being is defined as “the presence of the highest possible quality of life in its full breadth of expression, focused on but not necessarily exclusive to, eight interconnected categories”. Those categories are: community vitality, democratic engagement, education, environment, healthy populations, leisure and culture, living standard, and time use. The Vital Signs report for 2013 was released at an event in Kingston on Tuesday, October 1 Among its highlights are the assertion that 94% (plus or minus 3%) of KFL&A residents say they are “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their quality of life. Among the other aspects of the results that contributed to that overall rating, almost 70% of KFL&A residents who responded to the survey feel that their current job adequately reflects their education and training. A majority agree that the quality of the natural environment is high. Over 90% would check up on their neighbours in an emergency; 90% feel that “getting out with friends” is the most important social activity; and almost 80% feel relatively safe when walking alone in their neighbourhood at night. Florence Campbell There are also a number of negative results, areas where things seem to be getting worse in the region rather than better. Almost one in three of our young children are not developmentally ready for school by age 6. A size-able percentage of those in the workforce are struggling to balance work and non-work activities. Voter turnout is down in all levels of elections. Fewer than 20% of respondents (by age group) reported membership or participation in public interest groups serving the community within the last 12 months. In presenting the report to the public, both Florence Campbell, one of the project leads from the CFKA, and Dr. Kieran Moore from KFL&A Public Health, focused on some of the

Ceremonies in Northbrook set for October 9

wo events next Wednesday will highlight the continuing status of the hamlet of Northbrook as a health care hub on Highway 41. At 1 o’clock the ground-breaking ceremony for the $5.5 million re-development of the Pine Meadow Nursing Home will take place at Pine Meadow. The project will take two years to complete and will result in Pine Meadow achieving the status of a Class A long term care facility. An hour later, at 2 p.m. the new Northbrook ambulance base will have its official opening and ribbon cutting. The base will be the permanent home to the 24-hour a day ambulance service in Northbrook, and will provide a stable base for the first time to the service, which has been based in a converted house until now. The folks at Pine Meadow have assured the News that there will be cake at the ground-breaking ceremony, and we are waiting for confirmation about the cake situation at the ambulance base's ribbon cutting event later on.

9th Annual Timber Wolf Run O

ver 250 young runners tested their mettle at the annual Timber Wolf Run at Land O'Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove on October 1. The event, which was founded by retired LOLPS French teacher Brian Robertson, was taken over by LOLPS grade one teacher Jen Meulenaar three years ago. The run attracts students from grades 1 through 8 at other schools, including North Addington Education Centre, Clarendon Central, Granite Ridge and for their first year as participants, Prince Charles Public School. The students are invited to walk or run the race, which takes place through the woods around the school and the length

of the race varies from 1-2.5km. The run is a fun event and gives the students in the northern schools a chance to get together outside for a bit of exercise and fun. The top three winners in each category received medals and ribbons were handed out to the fourth and fifth place finishers. The grade 7/8 top male and female finishers each received a trophy. LOLPS principal Emily Yanch said her school looks forward to hosting the event every year. “It's a great opportunity to get all of our northern schools together, have a fun and healthy competition, and it's a great way to get outside and enjoy the beautiful fall weather.”

Run for Council, win an i-pad South Frontenac Council - October 1

ext year’s municipal elections will have more at stake than a small name plaque and the license to rail against the empire building at Frontenac County; each member of Council will also get an i-pad. In line with a proposal to release all information to the council and the public via e-agendas and eliminate the hefty agenda package that is currently available on demand, ipads will be handed out to new councilors. $6,000 will be set aside in next year’s budget for nine new devices. E-agendas are already available at the township web site, under the council tab, using the CivicWeb system.

Asset Management – spend money to make money

Treasurer Louise Fragnoto presented her recommendations for consulting services to complete an asset management plan for the township. The province has indicated these plans need to be in place as a prerequisite for municipalities to be eligible for infrastructure grants. There is $125,000 set aside in the township budget for this, of which $84,000 has been spent on software. After evaluating the responses to an RFP that the township put out in August, Fragnoto recommended giving the contact the RV Anderson Associates for $27,200 plus HST. “We’ll get this back with our first grant,” said Councilor Ron Vandewal. “Whatever,” said Mayor Davison.

Website upgrade

Council accepted the bid of $19,700 from eSolutions to rebuild the township website. “eSolutions has done over 100 different municipal websites,” said CAO Wayne Orr. “Whenever the current site goes to the council page a pic-

Fire hall equipment study – new Perth Road and Sydenham fire halls in the near future?

Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough asked that Council approve spending $10,000 for water grating to deal with flooding at Station 2 (Burridge) and $6,000 for a door frame at Station 7 (Latimer Road) However he said that he did not recommend going forward with wall and window repairs at Station 5 (Perth Road) or wall and floor repairs at Station 6 (Sydenham) “We will be preparing a report on health and safety issues within five weeks, which will include a detailed project plan for the buildings themselves,” Cheseborough said. “These buildings are quite dated.” The continued viability of the Perth Road and Sydenham Stations should be determined before money is put into them, Cheseborough added, implying they may need to be replaced in the near future. Both Councilors Vandewal and Stowe applauded Chesebrough’s recommendations, which were accepted by Council. Open house cancelled A planned Public Works Open House did not come off in September, and will likely be put off until next August. “We tried to put it together for late September, but the duck hunting season started on the same weekend, and we aren't going to be able to do it this year,” said Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth. “Maybe we can look to the spring or summer. Perhaps next August before the seasonal residents leave. We are committed to doing them.”

Editorial

Grading the report: A for effort, C for fuzzy science

he Vital Signs report contains much useful information, and represents a sincere effort to get at the social issues that concern people. It can be used as a tool for developing policies that are directed at some of the struggles that resident face. It has a number of weaknesses, however. One that was acknowledged in the presentation was that despite every effort, there was a very poor response from those under 25 to the Index of Well Being survey that was the backbone of the report. As Florence Campbell acknowledged in her presentation, the results are a snapshot of the well-being of those residents who are over 25. From the point of view of the rural residents outside of the City of Kingston, the report is really not about them. On a per capita basis, more rural residents answered the wellness survey than those in the city. For example, 48% of respondents were from Kingston, which has over 60% of the region's population, while 20% of respondents were from Frontenac County, which has less than 15% of the population. However the report did not only use survey data in its findings. It also included 2011 census data taken entirely from

the City of Kingston, and was written with an unmistakeable focus on a Kingston audience. This is not surprising; the sponsors included the Kingston Economic Development Corporation, Downtown Kingston.ca The City of Kingston, and the Kingston Whig Standard. Because the data the report uses is taken from different sources, each with different geographical boundaries, there is also a question of accuracy. Life in Napanee is different from life in Kingston; ditto for Cloyne and Sydenham, and Loyalist Township is nothing like Burridge, yet all of these places are identical as far as the Vital Signs report is con-

cerned. All of this is not to condemn the Vital Signs report. It is an ambitious enterprise, to be sure, and worth entering into, but it is a flawed document in several regards. And to end on an existential note, how can people be trusted to evaluate their own well being, and their own happiness? Ninety-four percent of us say we are satisfied with our quality of life, but what do we know about it? Maybe we just lack imagination. If lab rats could communicate and 94% said they were satisfied with their quality of life, they would still be living in cages.

that while the crime rate in Kingston is at the national average, the rate of sexual assault, 97 per 100,000 residents is 1/3 higher than the national average, which is 63. People have difficulty, particularly those in the 25-44 age group, finding time to do everything they want to do, including sleep. Only 25% of respondents said they get enough. As well 22% of those in the same age group said that at some point in the last year they ate less because they were short of money for food.

and talked about potential initiatives to address those concerns. These proposals were included in a press release that accompanies the release of the report. “As communities we have done well setting community standards on smoking by adopting healthy public policy such as prohibiting smoking in enclosed public places. We have other threats to community health that may benefit from the lessons learned from tobacco control. Too many are obese or overweight. Too many are not physically active. If we do not address these issues we will have higher rates of diabetes, arthritis and cardiovascular disease and hence health care costs. Our community partners have made significant strides to improve bicycle lanes and walking trails in our area. We must continue this work to make the healthy choice the first choice for our community whether it relates to food or being active,” said the release. Other aspects of the report that are of interest is the fact

SINCE 1970

ur Frontenac County councillors have accomplished nothing. What vision do these County councillors have? Progress or privilege? I see a group of old grey haired balding men wanting to have the title of warden on their lapel and their tombstone so badly they act like school yard bullies, choosing sides, following the pack, and neglecting the duties of their office. They direct their venom towards a woman warden who has read the bylaw and followed its directions. Progress or privilege? How backwards is Frontenac County? Is it like other counties in the Province? Does it have a regional road system, a seniors nursing home or a County Office in the County. No! The county is in a organizational mess! They need goals and objectives! Why is the council not debating the merits and faults of

Vaughan’s Automotive 6674 Main Street, Verona Ontario, K0H 2W0 Owner

the County plan. What vision do they have? County council does not work as a team. They do not respect their bylaws, their fellow councillors and their employees. You have read it in these newspapers. Compare Frontenac County to all other Ontario counties. Is it progress or privilege? In Frontenac, we want a future. Politicians who do not follow the pack! We want a vision that carries us there. Will we settle for progress or privilege? Doug Steele

Way to go girl

Never mind all the florid rhetoric damning the county warden for everything that is wrong with county in-fighting and failures to launch, the story is very simple. A bunch of boys and one lady were in a special club. The boys decided to gang up on the lady. Like the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, "they awakened a sleeping dragon and filled it with a terrible resolve". They messed with the wrong person, and they were made to look like spoiled brats. They started it, they lost it, she wins. And leaves when she wants to! Way to go girl!! Ray Fletcher

Flu viruses are spread by contact with respiratory droplets from another person’s sneeze or cough. These droplets may make contact with your nose or mouth. It can also be spread by kissing or touching something with the virus on it. Shaking hands can do it. (Elbow-bumping, anyone?) Other ways of reducing your chances of getting the flu (besides the yearly flu shot) is to ensure you are getting enough zinc and vitamin D in your diet. Zinc seems to strengthen the immune system. Beef, lamb, chicken, oysters and pumpkin seeds are good sources. Multivitamins contain 7.5 to I5mg of zinc. Vitamin D is not found naturally in commonly consumed foods. In Canada, foods such as milk, some yogurt and some margarines are fortified with Vitamin D. Pharmacists are often asked if it’s safe for a pregnant woman to get a flu shot. The answer is a definite yes. The flu can put stress on the heart, lungs and the immune system as well. Having respiratory problems while pregnant can cause complications. If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about getting a flu shot. For many herbal remedies, there is no good evidence for many of the claims made for them. Arnica is one of these. It’s not safe to take it orally; however for use on injured areas of the skin that might bruise, there is some anecdotal evidence that it helps. Side effects include itching, rash and dry skin. For answers to your questions about herbs or any other drug product, talk to our pharmacists: They are always ready to serve you.

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH CANADA'S HEALTH CARE?

ARE YOU READY FOR A TAX INCREASE TO PAY FOR IT? Health Canada's new proposed changes to remove patients 'rights' to grow their own medicine and force them to purchase from commercial distributors will result in higher taxes at the provincial level. Patients currently using medicinal cannabis use less pharmaceuticals, and require less doctor visits and monitoring saving taxpayers millions of dollars per year.

Next, three local painters whose works were showcased in the center's main and very grand hall space each had a chance to speak about their work. Denise Tipton, who moved to Harrowsmith just a year ago and

who has been painting all of her life, had on display her abstract acrylic and encaustic works, which she said are mostly inspired by nature, especially water and sky. “The thing I like about encaustic painting is the fact that you can mix colors with the beeswax directly on the painting, which gives you a lot of depth.” Some of her images come from photos of outer space taken by the Hubble telescope, as was her piece titled “Out There”, a small brilliant orange abstract that captures the wonders of deep space. Artist David Gilmore of Hartington is inspired by themes closer to home and many of his watercolor paintings in the show were based on the landscapes that surround his home on 14 Island Lake. Gilmore, who worked for years as an engineer, has been painting for over 30 years. His pictures capture the various moods created by natural light on land, water, buildings and ice. In his work titled “Snake Island Gulls”, gulls create the focal point as they fly in a rising early morning mist. In another work, also of 14 Island Lake, he depicts the early spring just before ice break with the late afternoon sun reflecting on the ice. “The night before, rain had fallen on the ice and gave it that mirrorlike look, which was interrupted by higher sections of ice that were duller and darker in color.” Gilmore enjoys both the advantages and challenges that watercolor offers. “The big advantage is translucency; you can see the white of the paper through layers of color, which gives a certain glow to the landscape that you can't get with any other medium.” The challenge is the unforgiving nature of the medium. “Once the paint is absorbed by the paper it is very difficult to remove. You can make small changes but not many and not often, which can be stressful as it means that you have to plan in advance." That being said Gilmore has recently ventured into acrylics, which he said are a bit less stressful and you can get bolder colors. Painter Teresa Mrozicka was born in Poland and now lives just north of Sydenham. She has been painting full time for 13 years. She works strictly in oil in a style she describes as “three dimensional pointillism”. She applies thick, individual cone-like daubs of paints to create the images, which when lit artificially “can create a totally different looking image compared to when they are lit naturally”. In her picture titled “Cabbages”, a woman holds a cluster of cabbages. It is one from a series called "Her Garden", which depicts woman gardeners celebrating the harvest. Mrozicka's palette is bright and the stylistic images are captivating in their sharp graphic design. They feel both mythical and dreamlike at the same time. Following the artists' talks, members of the LaSalle Causeway Swing band took to the stage, wrapping up the event with their deep, rich and pitch perfect renditions of countless golden oldies from the 1930's and 40's jazz age. Kudos to the organizers of the event who worked so hard to bring local culture in all of its many forms to Sydenham and area residents.

Young Sydenham architect’s first St. Lawrence Pre-Construction Program green local build The St. Lawrence College Employment Service Pre-Construction Program recently restored a flower

L-r; Kaitlyn Flear, Janette Haase, Yasmina Lawrence, Alan McDonald and Architect Amber Kilborn

he stars seem to have lined up recently for former Sydenham High School graduate Amber Kilborn. Amber, who just graduated from Dalhousie University with a bachelor’s degree in architecture/environmental studies, was the first person who came to mind when Janette Haase, facilitator of the Southern Frontenac Community Services community garden at the Grace Centre, found out that the organization had received a $30,000 grant to build a greenhouse there. Haase has known Amber since she was 12 years old. She said she knew Amber was “more than capable” of heading up the build and contacted her to see if she would be interested in designing and coordinating it. Amber said initially it took a bit of convincing before she agreed to sign on, but she quickly realized that it would be a great hands-on experi-

ence. “It's been an amazing learning experience and I'm a quick learner, so that helped me out a great deal,” she said. The 950 square foot building, which will be known as the Grace Centre Greenhouse, is 80% finished and it was officially opened at the Culture Days event on September 29. The project is Amber's first build and she said she “got her hands dirty and did a bunch of construction as well”. One of the specifications for the building was that it be accessible to clients of the SFCSC's adult day program, who will be invited to work in it during their visits to the center. The building was built on a concrete slab and has one concrete block wall, both of which provide thermal mass to the space, allowing it to heat up in the day and give off heat at night. Five raised garden beds built at task height will allow SFCSC's cli-

ents to work in the gardens while standing. A hooped section of the building will contain the more productionbased garden area with regular low-lying gardens. The building has no electricity or heating system; instead, it has a passive ventilation system that utilizes the site’s natural prevailing winds, which run east/west through the building through a channel of openings in the east and west walls, allowing the winds to pass through and

take up any heat. The bottom-most hoops in the building will eventually roll up to allow cold air to enter at the bottom of the building, and operable openings at the building’s upper-most section can be opened to either let heat escape in the warmest summer months or keep it inside in colder months. Construction began in the last week of June and the finishing touches will be done in the next few weeks. Com-

pletion is expected for the end of October. Amber expects the first gardens to be planted before winter so that both the SFCSC food bank and the adult day clients will have fresh salad greens to eat in December.

carpenter Brendan Arthur. A number of other committed local volunteers, Ingrid Golemiec and Ron Hipner, assisted with the build, as did students in Alan McDonald's grade seven Challenge class at Loughborough Public School. Kepler Bell Contracting also lent a hand in the construction of the building. Janette Haase, who founded the outdoor community garden at the centre last year, said she is excited to also have the greenhouse now, which will extend the growing season. “I hope to have spinach, kale and swiss chard and other greens into December. We will start our transplants in May and then have our first spinach come April.” The greenhouse will supply fresh produce for nine months of the year. Haase said this project has been the most wonderful one she has worked on to date. “So many people in

the community took part and everything just came together so perfectly.” Jennifer Linton, coordinator of the SFCSC Food Bank, said that being able to supply food bank clients with fresh produce for nine months of the year will be a real bonus. “The response from the clients has been great and people love getting fresh vegetables.” She also said that the number of clients using the food bank is on the rise. In 2012 the SFCSC food bank served over 1000 adults and 660 children, an increase of 29% from 2011, and Linton said she predicts that increase to rise to over 30% this year. With her first project under her belt, Amber said she now plans to work in her field and then travel before returning to school in May, where she will studying for her master’s degree.

LAYFIELD, Charles (Gus) who passed away Oct 5th, 2012 Although we smile and make no fuss No one misses you more than us. And when old times we oft recall It’s then we miss you most of all. Sister-in-law Janet and family

In memory of Ron Shelley Feb. 8, 1960 - Sept. 29, 2013

Dad, Now you’re gone Your body’s ashes You watch us all as our world sadly crashes Even though we are now older Without you tucking us in Our beds are all colder All we wanted was one last phone call Without the tears or sadness at all, To one last time hear your voice We wish death was not a choice But now you’re gone Your ashes will be spread We’ll meet again When we are all dead. You helped us through when times were sad You got us through when we all got mad We cherish the times we spent together But now this way you’ll be with us all forever. We miss you lots, our life is sad We love you tons, our dear old dad... XXOO Love, Cory & Amanda (Norah) & Corinne & Roger (Rebecca, Ryan, Alexis & Jordon)

Notice of STUDY COMMENCEMENT Class Environmental Assessment For The Replacement Of The Mississippi River Bridge On Road 509 The Township of North Frontenac has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the replacement of Mississippi River Bridge on Road 509. AECOM has been retained to assist with this assessment, which will follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Schedule B undertakings. The Township of North Frontenac has identified improvements to Mississippi River Bridge to be of highest priority. The bridge has not seen significant repair since it was last rehabilitated in 1982, a recent assessment has identified immediate needs. Over the long term, the bridge has deficiencies that can only be addressed by replacement. Mississippi River Bridge is deficient: • in width – it is only 4.9m wide which is deficient even for a single lane bridge; • in its approaches – the bridge is not visible to the traveling public until they are almost on it; • in height – the bridge is susceptible to damage by high water levels and spring ice flows; and • in navigability – the bridge is an impediment to recreational boaters.

KEY PLAN To provide the public with an opportunity to provide input and comment on this project, related issues, and the evaluation of alternatives, a Study Design Report has been prepared. This document summarizes the proposed study process, alternatives, decisionmaking procedures, and public consultation activities. Copies of the Study Design Report may be picked up at:

octoBER 3, 2013

What’s Up in the Night Sky - October 2013 by Fred Barrett I love astronomy in the autumn! It gets dark early and the cool, clear air allows for spectacular views of the Milky Way. In my opinion, Fall is the best time of year for observing the structure and deep space objects (DSOs) in our galaxy. All you need is a blanket to lie on and a pair of binoculars to roam the skies. Comet ISON is coming! It will be high in the east near Mars just before dawn in the first few days of October. To find Mars grab your star charts and look up the constellation Leo. Mars will be close above and a little to the right of the star Regulus in Leo. There is an asterism in the top right quadrant of Leo that is called the ‘Sickle of Leo’ (and it looks just like an upright sickle!). Bright Regulus is at the base of the handle of the sickle. On the 14th and for several days after, ISON will be roughly 1 degree north of Regulus. In November it dives toward the Sun and may even be naked eye observable in mid-November. In early December, it will

hopefully become quite spectacular. I will give further directions for finding ISON in my November column. Watch in the east for the sliver of waning crescent Moon passing by Regulus on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October about an hour before sunrise. On the 29th, and for a second time this month, there is a nice grouping of Mars, Regulus and the waning crescent Moon a few hours before sunrise. Venus this month will be about 10 degrees above the southeast horizon soon after sunset. It is so bright that you may even be able to see it while the Sun is still above the horizon. Saturn is below and to the right of Venus for the first few days of the month. Jupiter rises after midnight in early October and about 2 hours earlier by the end of the month. There is a nice grouping of the bright star Antares, the Moon and Venus in the southwest on the 8th just after sunset. Venus and Antares are very close on the 16th. The full Moon is on the 18th and is known as the Hunter’s

Thanksgiving Food Drive in Sharbot Lake - submitted by the North Frontenac Food Bank n the Thanksgiving weekend, volunteers with the North Frontenac Food Bank will be working with Mike Dean’s Grocery Store and other local businesses for the first of what they hope will become an annual food drive. Even the local school children are getting involved. Students from various junior classes at the Granite Ridge School are creating autographed autumn leaves which, over the next 2 weeks, Mike Dean’s Grocery Store will be displaying with each cash donation of more than $3. All proceeds will go to the food bank. Food bank volunteers will also be at Mike Dean’s on Friday & Saturday, Oct 11 and 12 collecting cash, as well as your food donations. Food donations can also be dropped off any time at the Sharbot Lake Marina. With the start of school this past month, the food bank is facing one of its busiest times and the cupboards are looking bare. “We’re asking the community to help where it can” said the North Frontenac Food Bank’s new president, Kim Cucoch. Whether you donate food or make a cash donation, every little bit helps. And as you close up your cottage for the season, please keep the food bank in mind for any left over food products you might have. Helping the food bank is a great way to help your neigh-

Land o’Lakes Food Bank Planning Meeting – submitted by Land o’Lakes Community Services

here will be a “Meeting of the Minds” for the Land O’Lakes Emergency Food Bank to be held at the Kaladar Community Hall on Friday October 4 at 2 pm. All interested parties are invited to attend. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together all the volunteers for the Food Bank and come up with a plan for the future running of this program. Also, we would like to recruit new volunteers.

bours and your community. Also, if you make a cash donation the food bank, upon request, can provide you with a charitable donation slip for your taxes. There are also other ways to help. The food bank is in need of new volunteers. With the retirement of long-time president, Brenda Piat, the food bank is currently looking for a new coordinator who can work a few hours, one or two weeks per month, dealing with client intake and requests. The coordinator position requires discretion and confidentiality. The food bank is also looking for people willing to volunteer an hour or so on a Tuesday and Friday morning, once every month or two. As some of the volunteers are retired and go away for the winter, the food bank will be short of volunteers to hand out food boxes on those morning and to repack the boxes. “The work is not difficult and it really feels good to help out” said local volunteer Tracy Bamford. “As my Nanny Mary said, many hands make light work.” The North Frontenac Food Bank serves a wide region from north of Plevna to south of Parham, and east of Arden and

PAGE 11 Full Moon. If you’re out observing, don’t make sounds like a deer, or a moose for that matter! Starting on the 4th and for the next 2 weeks, watch for the Zodiacal light in the west after sunset. It is a pyramid shape and is the reflected glow of material in the plane of the Solar System. The 13th is set aside as Fall astronomy day and there may be amateurs out in your area making a special observing event that night. On the 21st, the Orionid meteor shower occurs. Although considered a minor shower, watch for a few extra meteors that night. It has ZHR of 25. The ZHR stands for Zenithal Hourly Rate. If the radiant (or point in a constellation where meteors seem to originate) was at the zenith, its number represents how many meteors a single observer could expect to see in an hour under a clear and moonless, dark sky. The radiant for the Orionids is in the constellation Orion. The larger the number, the more meteors there will be. The number of observable meteors decreases as the radiant gets closer to the horizon. Sunrise in early October is at 7:05 am and sunset is at 6:32 pm. At the end of the month, sunrise is at 7:26 am and the Sun sets at 5:56 pm. Here’s an early warning: Daylight Savings Time (DST) ends on Sunday, November 3rd at 2 pm. Set the clocks back 1 hour. You now have no excuse for showing up at the wrong time. “The Beginner’s Observing Guide” by Leo Enright is an invaluable companion for adventures in the sky. It contains star charts and is available at the Sharbot Lake Pharmacy. It can also be ordered from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada at www.rasc.ca/publications. A subscription to our excellent Canadian astronomy magazine “SkyNews”, with its centerfold sky chart, can be arranged at the RASC website as well. Let me know how your observing has gone this month, especially anything unusual. I enjoy the feedback. If you have questions or suggestions you can email me at fred. barrett2@sympatico.ca . Clear Skies! Fred.
