South Frontenac Planner Lindsay Mills presented a highly critical assessment of the second draft of Frontenac County’s Official Plan to a meeting of South Frontenac Council on Tuesday night (December 3) “This is supposed to be a high level document,” said Mills, “but the County is setting policies, rather than directing the townships to set their own policies.” Some of Mills’ concerns: Although the County plan addresses commerce in hamlets and resorts, it does not mention roadside/highway commercial use. It still wants all housing development to occur in hamlets. It introduces a 150-metre set-back from shorelines, and assigns far too much authority to lake plans, which in Mills’ opinion, tend not to be sufficiently objective. According to Lindsay Mills, the County appears to want to take over approval of Community Improvement Plans: “Why?” he asks. Council agreed that the county and township roles in planning were not being clearly
or appropriately defined in the present configuration of this document. Lindsay Mills will be presenting his position at a meeting of Frontenac County Council this week. 2014 budget finalised At the last Committee of the Whole, Council directed staff to make further budget cuts, in response to a greater than expected drop in provincial transfer funding. Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth was asked to cut his budget by $77,000. Segsworth reported that he could do this by cutting $20,000 from gravel resurfacing, $10,000 each from building maintenance at Keeley yard, and equipment maintenance at Hartington yard, and $37,000 from Keeley sand and salt supply. “I think what’s proposed here is reasonable,” said Segsworth. Council agreed with Fire Chief Chesebrough’s recommendation to purchase a 3/4 ton truck for station 5, and to replace the chief’s 1/2 ton truck, after Chesebrough listed

Family named for Habitat house
J
essica and Chris Roberts, and their children Konner and Paige, will be moving into a new home in Tichborne sometime in the spring of 2014. They are the family who has been chosen by Habitat For Humanity to purchase the home that is under construction in the hamlet of Tichborne. The Roberts put in an application to Habitat early in the summer and learned in the early fall that they were one of three families on the short list for the home. “We didn’t let ourselves think we had much of a chance,” said Jessica, speaking from the modular home that the family is currently renting, when contacted early this week. Even though the Roberts found out that the home was going to be theirs on November 22, they couldn’t tell anyone about it before the official announcement, which happened one week later, on November 29. It so happened that the 29th was easily the
coldest morning of the season so far - so cold that when everyone went into the unfinished, and unheated, home to warm up after the photo-op, it was even colder than it had been in the sunshine outdoors. However, two people at the event who seemed not to notice the cold were Konner and Paige, and there was a reason for that. “We didn’t tell them about it until we drove up to the house that morning,” said Jessica. “We just said, here is one of our Christmas presents, a new home to live in. They were pretty excited; they even picked out their bedrooms on the spot.” However, although the official opening took place on the 29th, the selection was not really a secret. That’s because Chris is one of the managers of the Mike Dean’s grocery store in Sharbot Lake, and when he walked into work the day after finding out, “the first person I saw took one look at the smile on

my face and said ‘you got the house, didn’t you,” Chris related. The shell of the house is up, and the heating and electrical systems are going in this week; however all of the interior finishing, the drywall, flooring, etc. is still to be done. One of the expectations that Habitat for Humanity has, is a commitment of 500 hours of labour from the recipient family. In return they will not need to come up with a down payment and will receive an interest-free mortgage for the full value of the home. “Chris is ready to start working on his days off and my father and other members of our family all have building experience so we will be ready as soon as we get the go-ahead,” Jessica said. Ron Ruttan, the relatively new CEO of Habitat for Humanity Kingston, said that a number of local contractors have provided materials and labour to the project at very low or no cost to help the project along the way. “And now that we have such a good family lined up we are hoping to see even more community involvement to help us get this house finished,” he said.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS
december 5, 2013
Health Link starts to take form in Frontenac, L&A
A
bout a year ago, Local Health Integration Networks (LHINS) across Ontario started to roll out Health Links. Health Links are a series of initiatives aimed at providing more efficient patient care in Ontario by bringing together the whole range of health care service providers (primary care physicians and nurses, specialists, community care workers, social workers, mental health workers, etc.) In Southeast Ontario, the LHIN decided to focus on primary care practices in their effort to create Health Links. In Frontenac and Lennox and Addington County, that has meant engaging the Rural Kingston Family Health Organization (FHO), a co-operative that includes four primary care practices (Sydenham, Verona, Tamworth, Selby) and two family health teams (Sharbot Lake and Northbrook) to develop new and improved services using Health Link dollars. Lynn Wilson is the administrator of the Rural Kingston FHO and starting last January she held a series of meetings with representatives from the six clinics in the FHO to determine local priorities for the Rural Kingston Health Link. By the spring those efforts had resulted in the identification of three priority areas for Health Link projects in Frontenac and L&A: heart and lung conditions (specifically congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder); mental health services; and the transitioning of patients from primary care to hospital care and back to primary care. As often happens in bureaucratic environments, after these priority areas were determined and proposals for making improvements using Health Link dollars were submitted to the LHIN, there was a six-month delay before any money flowed. Then, in early October, Lynn Wilson heard back from the LHIN; the money was released and the program could actually get underway. The first thing that came to fruition - and this started before the Health Link money was released - was a cardiac care

clinic. Dr. John McCans, a cardiologist at Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston, has held clinics in Verona and Northbrook. “I am happy to come out to see patients suffering from congestive heart failure and other heart patients in this setting whenever the local clinic has a dozen or so patients ready to see me,” said Doctor McCans last Friday at the Verona Medical Centre, where he was holding his second clinic. He said that it is much easier for rural heart patients, who often are in relatively poor health, to get to a clinic near their home than to drive into Kingston and struggle to find a parking spot and get to a clinic at Hotel Dieu. “The most important thing is to have advanced, trained nurses, which they have in Verona and Northbrook, to track the patients and monitor their medications in-between my clinic visits. Without that this would all be a waste of time,” he said. Don Fraser, who lives on 13 Island Lake and is a patient at the Verona Medical Centre, does not suffer from congestive heart failure but he has recently developed a heart valve issue. He took advantage of Dr. McCans’ clinic last week. “It was certainly easier for me to get to Verona than Kingston,” Fraser said. Then next Health Link initiative that will be up and running locally will be the transitions initiative. A more formal partnership is being developed between the Rural Kingston FHO and the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), the agency that manages home care in the region. “What we are developing is a dedicated presence of the CCAC within our primary care clinics, so patients will see the

Council passed the revised preliminary 2014 combined capital and operating budget which will require raising $13.6 million in taxation, a $700,000 increase from 2013. The impact of that increase on ratepayers is buffered by growth in the township. The acerage property will see and increase of 2.91% in their taxes. 1% of this increase will go directly into capital reserves. Private Lane Upgrading Assistance Program Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth recommended Council approve payment (a total of $60,000) to seventeen private lane associations to assist with work done on their lanes. These township grants, which do not subsidize gravel resurfacing, will cover up to 50% of the total cost of private lane improvements, once they have been completed. Segsworth said many residents on private lanes still do not seem to be aware of this program: for more information check the Township website or call the Public Works Department. Portland Waste Disposal Site Mark Segsworth, in consultation with AECON engineering and Quinte Conservation Authority is recommending a 5 metre sand buffer zone and partial capping of the Portland waste disposal site to manage the seep at the edge of the landfill.
Township Of Central Frontenac The Township of Central Frontenac is inviting applications from interested individuals to participate on an ad-hoc committee looking at developing a septic re-inspection program within the Township of Central Frontenac.

Dr. John McCans and Don Fraser at the Verona medical clinic same CCAC nurse and that nurse will be in communication with that patient’s primary care team,” said Lynn Wilson. Sometime early in the new year, enhancements to the mental health services will be announced. “The Health Link is enabling us to improve on a number of things that we are already doing, and to improve co-ordination between care providers,” said Lynn Wilson, “and it is giving us some resources to do it with.” The Health Link initiative is set to run until April of 2015, but the province has not yet confirmed the funding for the project for April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Standardized User Fees for Township Recreation Facilities and Halls Council approved standardized user fees and user agreements for Township facilities (halls and playing fields), as recommended by the South Frontenac Recreation Committee.

Policing costs could jump in 2015
Why one size Provincial transfers up does not fit all T
by Jeff Green
SINCE 1970
by Jeff Green o one understands how the OPP currently calculates the fees it charges to municipalities. Therefore a lot of local populations were pleased when the OPP said it was going to simplify things. The OPP looked at all the costs that are charged to local municipalities throughout the territory they cover, and then looked at the total number of houses in that territory, and divided the total cost by the total number of households. They came up with a figure of $369 per household. Then they said that is what they will charge each municipality, $369 times the number of households in the municipality. One of the flaws in this - and this is a big flaw in a lot of our local townships - is that seasonal residences count. When you look at how this will play out, let’s take the example of North and Central Frontenac. Ratepayers in the two townships will end up paying a combined $2.7 million for policing in 2015, a steep increase from the combined $975,555 that was paid in 2013. That’s because there are 7,489 households in the townships, even though the combined permanent resident population is only 6,348. For that money, the same level of service that is offered now by the OPP will still be offered; one police car, staffed on a 24-hour basis, is assigned to the Sharbot Lake detachment to serve both Central and North Frontenac. At just under $1 million, that is already a pretty expensive police car, but raising the cost of one police car to $2.7 million per year seems a bit rich by local standards
N
hanks to increased funding from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF), all local municipalities except for South Frontenac will be getting a little boost as they face down their election year budgets in the coming months. But after that election, the 2015 budgeting process could be brutal if a proposed new funding arrangement to cover local OPP costs ends up being implemented. The proposal is for a billing of $369 per household to municipalities, and the kicker is that seasonal households count just as much as year-round residences. Here are the numbers, listed alphabetically by municipality. Addington Highlands will receive $1.53 million from the OMPF in 2014, an increase of $189,000 from 2013. In 2015, policing could cost AH ratepayers over $1 million for the 2,718 households in the township. The population, (based on the 2011 census) 2011 was 2,518. We do not have the figures for policing costs in 2013 Central Frontenac will receive $1.62 million from OMPF in 2014, an increase of $149,200 over 2013. In 2015, policing costs are slated to go to $1.48 million for the 4018 households in the township. The permanent resident population in Central Frontenac is 4,556. Policing costs in 2013

their next contract. It would result in policing costs of $3.7 million for the 10,054 households in South Frontenac. The population of South Frontenac is 18,113. Policing costs in 2013 were $2.4 million. Tay Valley Township will receive $686,400 in OMPF funding in 2014, an increase of $130,000 over 2013. In 2015 policing is set to cost $1.43 million for 3,868 households in Tay Valley. The population of Tay Valley is 5, 571. Policing costs in 2013 were $502,313

Kennebec Recreation Committee will begin at 7:30 pm. As every year, this event spotlights various local talented individuals or groups, entertaining the crowd. Santa always manages to make an appearance, miraculously at the half time break, when light refreshments are also served. Maybe it’s the smell of homemade cookies that draws him to the community centre at that time. Please bring a donation to the Food Bank as your admission to the concert. · On Sunday December 8 the Arden Legion will hold a Zone Cribbage Tournament beginning at 11am. · On Dec. 12, 13 & 14, Villages Beautiful hosts the Festival of Trees at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. This fundraising event gives each village a share in the funding to enhance their appearance by way of summer plants & mulch and winter decorations.

A donation to the food bank is your admission fee. · On Thursday Dec. 12, there will be a community dinner at Circle Square Ranch, $15/person. There will be door prizes and the proceeds go to camp scholarships to bring children to camp who could not afford it otherwise. · On Sunday December 15 the Legion will host a Potluck dinner at 4:30 pm. Everyone is welcome. Please call Beth Sampson at 613-335-3664 for more details. · Christmas will be soon upon us, as is this year’s deadlines for paper submissions.

Shakin’ the bushes for local talent I
by Gary Giller
know people’s thoughts are on Christmas, and all the hustle and bustle that surrounds it, but I thought people should know well in advance that the Frontenac Heritage Festival organizing committee is “shakin’ the bushes” to find local talent for an evening of entertainment on Friday, February 14, 2014. Do you sing or play an instrument? Do you, or a group that you are part of, dance? Do you like to make people laugh? We are looking for a wide range of entertainers to be part of our Talent Show. The show will take place from 7 – 9 p.m. and each person or group will be given approximately 10 minutes of stage time. If you are a seasoned entertainer or a newcomer to the stage, be part of the fun. We have time for about 10 acts, so don’t delay in coming forward. Anyone interested should talk to Gary Giller at 613-279-2723, or Jim MacPherson.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS
New Christmas tradition in Verona by Julie Druker embers of the Verona Community Association (VCA) decided to change up their traditional Christmas activities this year. Wayne Conway, director with the VCA, said the change came about because the usual PA Day in November was moved this year to December, which meant that the free skate that usually precedes the annual tree lighting at McMullen Park would not take place. Also, the tree at McMullen Park was getting increasingly damaged from the Christmas lights. So VCA members decided to move the festivities to the Verona Lions Hall on Sand Road and make the event a day-long and evening event for the whole family. Local community businesses and individuals were invited to decorate a number of Christmas trees and 11 trees were set up in the hall's outdoor pavilion. Guests were invited to vote on their favorites and prizes were given out to the top three winners. The 11 gorgeous trees were
M
simultaneously lit up at 6:30 pm. Youngsters had a chance to ride the Verona toy train and roast marshmallows at an outdoor fire pit. Inside the hall they enjoyed a number of special Christmas crafts, games, snacks and beverages, plus visits with the very jolly Santa and Mrs. Claus. A free meal of chili and hot dogs was also provided. Later in the evening music lovers enjoyed local songsters Crooked Wood. Like all changes it takes time for a new tradition to catch on but by noon on Saturday the parking lot was quickly filling up as carloads of youngsters arrived with parents and grandparents in tow to enjoy the free festivities. Conway said that the event so far seems to be catching on. “It's the first annual and we are seeing a lot of enthusiasm so far. The nice thing is that here there is a place for people to warm up inside, out of the cold.” The mandate of the VCA is to beatify the
PAGE 7
town of Verona and make it a place where residents enjoy to live. “We hope to see this new tradition become a successful, longtime ongoing event.” Conway also brought
up the fact that the Verona Cattail Festival, now in its fourth year, took a while to catch on but was never more successful than this summer.

Chairs for Charity raises $10,000 for seniors’ services L
ocal seniors were the biggest winners at the Southern Frontenac Community Services' recent Chairs for Charity Auction fundraiser, which took place at the Grace Centre in Sydenham on November 29 and raised $10,000 for seniors' services. SFCS board chair Joan Cameron spoke at the event about the services that will benefit from the fundraiser. These include the adult day program, diners club, meals on wheels, home care, volunteer hospice, bereavement and caregiver support, transportation services, foot care, income tax clinics, and a number of social and recreation programs that include the VON Smart program, Tai Chi, sit-
tercize and yoga. The $40 ticket for the event included a pre-auction social and grazing hour where guests snacked on an impressive spread of fancy hors d'oeuvres and drinks generously donated by several local food and beverage artisans, including the Casa-Dea Estates Winery, Barley Days Brewery, the Kingston Olive Oil Company, Limestone Creamery, Desert Lake Gardens, Bread and Butter, Fred's Bread and Seed to Sausage. Guests also had a chance to preview over 100 auction items in the center's downstairs community room, which were all donated by local businesses and individuals.

Notice of PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION For The Replacement Of The Mississippi River Bridge On Road 509 December 19th, 2013, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm at Snow Road Hall 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, and a recent assessment has identified immediate needs. Over the long term, the bridge has deficiencies that can only be addressed by replacement. Several options for replacement have been evaluated. At this time, the technically preferred alternative is: • A new two lane bridge on an alignment to the west of the current bridge • 2 metre height above water to allow for navigability and to minimize ice damage This option is safer for the road user, allows the current bridge to remain in service during construction and permits larger boats to pass under the bridge. A Public Information Session has been planned to present the public with information regarding the project and to show how alternatives were evaluated. This session will include displays boards and be an open house format with a short presentation at 7:00pm. The public is invited to attend and to provide input on the project prior to the detailed design phase. The Public Information Centre will be held at: Snow Road Hall 14073 Road 509, Snow Road Station ON KOH 2R0 December 19th, 2013, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm with a formal presentation at 7:00 pm. Work completed on the Class EA to date has been documented in a Draft Phase 1 and 2 Report. A copy of the report is available for download from the Township web site at www. northfrontenac.ca. Public input and comment is invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project at any time. The finished Phase 1 and 2 Report will include comments received up to December 31st, 2013. If you would like to be included on the study mailing list, view a copy of the Draft Phase 1 and 2 Report, or request further information, please contact: Guy Laporte, P.Eng. or Project Manager AECOM Canada Ltd. 654 Norris Court Kingston, ON K7P 2R9 Tel: (613) 389-3703 Email: Guy.Laporte@aecom.com

Auctioneer Ralph VanKoughnet took up his anvil at 7pm sharp and the bidding began. The highlight of the evening was the auctioning off of 20 colourful chairs, benches and tables, each painted by 20 different local artists. Many of them fetched over twice their reserve bids of $150. A burly bunch of volunteers from Sydenham High School moved each chair to the front of the hall where the bidding took place Ralph VanKoughnet sold Eva Skierska’s Maple Leaf chair for $320 and in many cases, exfundraiser. “These pieces are not really citing bidding wars were played out. chairs; they are one of kind original art piecNona Mariotti, who chaired the event and es," she said. who is the board secretary with SFCS, said Mariotti herself walked away with a chair the popular auction has been running for painted by Ann Barlow, a beautiful piece that close to a decade now and has evolved over took Ann over 100 hours to paint. the years from a smaller event to something More than 150 people attended the event, that is quickly becoming a popular art-based which is the organization’s major fundraiser.

What’s Up in the Night Sky - December 2013 by Fred Barrett
C
omet ISON survived! On November 28 it passed through the Sun’s atmosphere and gave everyone quite a scare. It did disintegrate to a certain extent and is smaller now but it has survived and hopefully will get brighter. It could become a naked eye object in the coming week but sadly won’t be the spectacular sight that we were all hoping for. Dawn is the time to look for ISON in the east southeast. About an hour before sunrise from the 3rd to the 9th, it will be passing not far below the right corner of constellation Ophiuchus near its bright stars Delta and Epsilon Ophiuchus, also known as Yed Prior and Yed Post respectively. Another way of finding ISON is to find Saturn in the southeast and look about 10 degrees to its left. As it rises higher and earlier in the predawn sky, the damage done to it by its passage through the Sun’s atmosphere may cause it to fade quickly or alternately the pieces of debris may make it more visible. It’s all very unpredictable but well worth a look. Saturn rises about 5 a.m. at the beginning of December and just after 3 a.m. by month’s end. Look for it in the southeast. The waning crescent Moon passes close by to the right of the planet on the 28th and 29th. Venus is magnificently bright in the southwest soon after sunset. You should be able to detect the phase of Venus through binoculars. Look for its crescent to become smaller as the month progresses. It’s hard to miss brilliant Jupiter in the northeast. It sits in
the constellation Gemini. Gemini rises above the horizon about 6:30 p.m. The Moon passes just below Jupiter on the 18th. Mars gets brighter as the month progresses. It rises soon after midnight. Note its distinct orange and yellow colour. Mercury can be seen to the lower left of Saturn at dawn. Don’t miss the Geminid meteor shower. It peaks on the evening of the 13th and 14th. It has a ZHR of 120 which is quite high. In previous columns I described ZHR as a measure of how many meteors to expect. The higher the number, the more you will see. There will be a ¾ gibbous moon that night but if you wait for it to set an hour before dawn or drop lower to the horizon after midnight, conditions will be ideal. The meteors come from the asteroid Phaethon. It has a very elongated orbit that brings it quite close to the Sun every 1.5 years and this causes a slow disintegration of the asteroid. The meteors are relatively slow at 36 kilometers per second and dive deep into the atmosphere, leaving long yellowish trails across the sky. Don’t forget that meteors start arriving a few days before the peak and still can be seen for a few days afterwards. The meteors can be seen all over the sky and are called the Geminids because they come from the direction of the constellation Gemini. There is another meteor shower on the 22nd. It is the Ursid shower and has a ZHR of 10 – pretty low. It’s worth having a peek.
Ottawa brewer uses local maple syrup to give character to his beer J by Jeff Green
P Fournier has sent much of his adult life as an amateur brewing enthusiast and promoter of specialty beers. Now that he has taken his passion to the next level and formed a brewing company, Turtle Island Brewery, he has been looking at a variety of unusual ingredients to give his beer a signature taste in the increasingly crowded marketplace for craft brewers in Ontario. That’s what led him to Lanark County maple syrup producer Charlie Temple, who has run maple syrup operations in McDonalds Corners and his new location near Ferguson Falls. For JP Fournier, it was not the prime-selling light and amber syrup that has brought renown to Lanark and District maple syrup producers that caught his attention. “I found the late syrup, the stuff that is sold off in bulk or is used for cooking, the stuff that is heavier and darker, to be very interesting from a beer-making point of view,” said Fournier. In mid-November, Turtle Island Brewery brought some of that late syrup home to a Winter Warmer event at the 240seat banquet hall at Temple’s Sugar Camp, and I was lucky enough to receive an invitation. The event was set up to demonstrate food and beer pairings, and it featured four of Turtle Island's beers and dishes cooked by Temple’s head chef. The idea behind the pairings was for the food and beer to work together to enhance each other, and for the most part they were successful. Two of the beers featured that sweet and mineral-rich fla-

vour of late maple syrup and, to my taste at least, they are the most successful of the Turtle Island beers. The first, Turtle Island Dark Honey Brown Ale, which is finished with maple, was paired with marinated sirloin steak twist with Argentinian Chimichurri sauce on grilled eggplant and roasted red pepper. The final dish of the night, Lamb Kofta with pistachio and mint was served with the newest Turtle Island beer, an 11% Russian Imperial Maple Stout that is full-bodied, almost thick with several kinds of malt, with the bitter edge of maple coming to dominate the taste. While I found the Lamb Kofta lacked spice, but enjoyed the crunch of the Pistachio, the beer was very, very good. It also demonstrated, to a greater extent than the Honey Brown Ale, where the maple was more of an afterthought. The other beers that were served were a Wild Harvest Extra Special Bitter, which was very good, and a Squashed Pumpkin Porter, which I did not care for as much (I should point out that I don’t like either porters or pumpkin-flavoured beers, so my opinion on this beer is less than reliable) My favorite dish of the night was the one paired with the Pumpkin Porter. It was bacon-wrapped figs served on pureed squash accompanied by a ratatouille tower and olive oil crostini. Turtle Island brewery products are not available in LCBO stores as yet.

The full Moon this month occurs on the 17th. It is called the Full Cold Moon or the Full Long Nights Moon. The nights are long and cold at this time of year and the Moon hangs high above the horizon for a long time. Its path across the sky is so high because the Sun is low and the Moon sits opposite the Sun. Winter Solstice occurs at 12:11 p.m. EST on the 21st. It is officially winter up here in the North and summer down in the southern hemisphere. You could have fooled me. Late November frigid temperatures sure convinced me that winter had already put a grip on us. There’s not space in this column to add a star chart to illustrate the position of some of the constellations and events that I write about during the month. I find it difficult at times to describe exactly where you should look and I always worry that you might give up in frustration. I hope that most of you can find an astronomy book with star charts or have Internet access for that information. Star charts are such a tremendous aid to guide you in exploring the night sky. Watch for a late December column to fill in for a holiday season break. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night – astronomy wise that is! “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 any questions or suggestions, you can contact me through this paper or email me at fred.barrett2@sympatico. ca. Clear Skies! - Fred.

Coping with grief during the holidays T by Julie Druker
with grief. She lost her son when he was just 19 years old in a car accident and she shared her personal grief experience and strategies for coping. She said there is wealth of information online and talking to strangers can sometimes be easier than talking to those you know well. “People we know often don't want to see us sad, which makes it hard to talk to them.” Yates said that being inundated with happy holiday messages through the media can be a difficult thing to cope with. “Be true to yourself. It's hard because people don't want you to grieve. It's important to not feel guilty about the feelings you are going through.” She siad that often, unless others have experienced grief, they may not understand what a bereaved person is going through and may not be able to offer the kind of support they need. Some of her practical suggestions for coping are: “Let the tears come. Don't answer the phone if you don't want to. But do answer it if it is someone you know who will understand you.” She suggested acknowledging and embracing your limitations. “Don't agree to commitments until the day of. If you commit and then renege you will feel guilty and that is something extra that you do not need to feel bad about.” Yates said that asking for help can be one of the hardest things to do when one is experiencing grief. “Try to reach out to those who might understand your feelings best. You need to know you are not crazy and are not alone.” She said that a bereaved person needs to tell their story and a listening ear can often be what they need most. She also touched on dealing with inappropriate remarks such as, “At least you had a chance to say goodbye." Of her own experience she said, “I did not have a chance to say goodbye and did not want to say goodbye.” Yates stressed that grief should not be compared. “People want to try to connect and try to understand that they love you and want to help but sometimes say stupid things.” She suggested planning ahead and getting a lot of rest. “Sleep whenever you need to and if you want to, find new ways to celebrate when you are ready.” Those who attended the information session had a chance to share their own personal stories and it was apparent that talking and sharing with others who have experienced similar losses does help assuage grief. For those who would like to help a grieving person, Hazel had a thoughtful suggestion about what they could say - simply, “I've been thinking about you.”
he holidays can be an especially difficult time for those experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one. In a special information session held at the Maples Restaurant in Sharbot Lake on December 2, two grief counselors spoke about their own personal experiences and some helpful strategies for coping with grief. Hazel Huneault, a trained facilitator with Bereaved Families of Ontario and a victim support worker with MADD Canada, knows all about grief after having lost a niece and a sister. She opened with the statement, “All communities need a soft place to fall over the holidays.” She said that grief can be overwhelming, but the holidays and the world do not stop for grief. “While others are caught up in the shopping and the baking we want no part of it and this is normal and this is okay. No, you are not going crazy. You are a grieving person trying to adjust to a new kind of normal.” She spoke of grief arising unexpectedly, anywhere and at any time and how that is also okay. Some of her suggestions for coping are: “Do not push or force yourself to do anything that you do not want to do. It's important to be gentle to yourself. This is your grief journey and you set your own pace. Talk to family and friends and change your plans as you wish.” She said that it is for no one to judge the decisions a bereaved person needs to make to help them get through every day. “Don't worry about hurting others regarding your decisions about how to spend the holidays. You must be true to yourself.” She suggested sitting down with your family to decide what you want to do and to be honest. “There is no right and wrong way to handle the day. You are vulnerable and need to just get through the next day, the next week or season in a healthy way.” In closing, Hazel stressed that grieving takes time and that one will often experience difficult ups and downs. She said that sometimes focusing on children can help, and trying to make the days enjoyable for them, though it can be difficult, is one goal to strive for. She added that because everyone's grief is unique there are no steadfast rules. She said that experiencing grief saps your energy. “Rest when you need to and if you need help with everyday tasks ask someone to help you.” Caroline Yates, who worked as a former executive director at Bereaved Families of T:5.06” Ontario, also shared her ideas about coping

MUSIC LESSONS
n Sund a y , December 8 at 2pm, the noted renaissance musicians Duo Athénaïs will be performing as the final part of the Blue Jeans Classical series at the MERA Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners. Duo Athénaïs is the performing name of Virginia Dunsby and Richard Maurel, two Canadian baroque musicians based in Ottawa, who play on period instruments and have been musical partners and friends since 2012. The rich, haunting sounds of Virginia’s traverso (a wooden, keyless transverse flute) and Richard’s viola da gamba (an old, bowed instrument held by the legs) complement each other beautifully. The music they play draws from the vast collection of 17th and 18th century sonatas for flute and basso continuo written by composers from England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Virginia Dunsby pursued the study of the classical flute at conservatories in Hull and Paris, where she studied piccolo and chamber music. Virginia has toured extensively in Europe as a member of "Duo Concertante" and as a member of the Heidelberg Chamber and Cantata Orchestras. She has made recordings for both the CBC and the German State Radio. After learning the violin and clarinet as a youth, Richard Maurel embarked upon more serious studies of the baroque pipe organ , baroque singing, modern and baroque oboe and the viola da gamba. Since 2005, he has

Reeve Henry Hogg said the township alternates hours at the sites in order to maximize the efficient use of its trained waste site attendants. “We have never had much luck with parttime attendants in the past. Often they didn’t show up,” he said, “and I don’t think the vandalism we have seen at the Weslemkoon site has anything to do with Sunday hours.” “I’m not sure either,” said Keeble, “there is a lot of anger out there over taxes.” Mr. Keeble was not aware, until he was told at the meeting, that a recycle bin had been set fire to at the Weslemkoon dump last month and will cost $20,000 to replace. MoE says decision pending on Denbigh waste site: The township has been working for several years to get approval to re-open the Denbigh Waste site, and an application for a Certificate of Approval from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MoE) has been with the ministry for over a year.

Addington Highlands Council - Dec. 2 Council sceptical of Weslemkoon requests Jon Keeble, the president of the Weslemkoon Property Owners Association, appeared before Addington Highlands Council to talk about a number of concerns, the main item being dump hours. Properties on the north end of the lake are served by the Hartsmere dump and those at the south end by the Weslemkoon dump. “Right now the two dumps are open on alternate Sundays. I’m hear to argue that they should both be open on Sundays, at least during the peak summer season of mid-June to mid-September,” said Keeble. “I think that would stop much of the bag tossing at the gate that goes on now.” Keeble estimated that the cost of a parttime dump attendant to cover the extra hours would be up to $4,200. “As a group we pay $1 million in taxes and we don’t receive much from the township,” he said.

presentation about waste site monitoring that came about at the request of Council, three MoE representatives came to Council. They explained how the monitoring works, and they also said that a response from the ministry regarding the Denbigh site should be available within two months. Curious, scary numbers in asset management report: Council did not seem to know how to respond to a draft asset management report that was completed by a Toronto consultant with little input from township staff or Council. The report looked at all the fixed assets owned by the township – municipal buildings, roads and bridges, trucks and equipment, etc. and put a lifespan and a replacement value on each item. It then put a dollar figure on how much it will cost, over time, to keep the township's infrastructure from deteriorating. “We need to have this report done in or-

der to apply for infrastructure grants from the Province,” said Clerk/Treasurer Jack Pauhl. “Yes, but what are we supposed to do with it?” asked Councilor Helen Yanch. “We can’t afford to adopt it.” “I read this and it paints a pretty grim picture. But I realise that if you did the same thing 20 years ago it would paint the same grim picture, and we are still here,” said Councilor Tony Fritsch. “It says we have to raise taxes for capital upgrades by 6.35% per year, every year. It’s not going to happen.” “Not unless you want to raise taxes by 10%,” said Reeve Hogg. “Not next year,” said Deputy Reeve Bill Cox, referring to the upcoming municipal election. Council decided to send some corrected information to the consultant and then wait for the final report before deciding how to deal with it. “We will need a special meeting for this; it will not be a ten-minute conversation,” said Tony Fritsch.

“The Hand Tree” at LOLPS S tudents in Mr. Hull's grade 7/8 class at Land O' Lakes Public School recently completed a unique class project that now stands tall and proud in the school's main pod area. The finished sculpture, which the class has come to refer to as “The Hand Tree”, is just one of many art projects that Mr. Hull, a trained illustrator and artist, has brought to students at LOLPS. In addition to being a classroom teacher, Mr. Hull is also the head of the school's art club, which he hopes to start again this year. The Hand Tree project included two components. The first was a cooperative art project that had students divide into pairs to create plaster casts of each other's hands. This first part allowed students to explore the art of making a plaster cast and it involved first making a negative plaster mold using plaster bandages, and then creating a positive plaster mold to be used in the final piece. Once the 24 plaster hands were completed, and following suggestions by Mr. Campbell, the school's French teacher, and Ms. Peace-Fast, the hands were mounted with doweling onto a nine-foot-tall maple branch that Hull salvaged from his wood pile. The second component of the project connected the finished piece to the grade 7/8 writing curriculum and the students were next instructed to create a fictional narrative based on the origin of “The Hand Tree”. The assignment had students consider plot, characters, themes, setting, and

point of view. For added fun Mr. Hull suggested that students could include a horror element to their story if they wished. As further incentive the two students whose stories received top marks were awarded prizes and the winners were also invited to tape record and/or read their stories aloud to the entire class. The students were off and running. The two winners were Phil Conner and Morgan Howes. Phil, who is a grade eight student, wrote a spinechilling tale titled "The Rise of the Hands". It tells of a student who first dreams of, then witnesses a long ago uprising, in 1577, where a deranged evil king and his army cut off the hands of his detractors. The tale quickly evolves into a suspenseful and horrific zombie epic, with the main character, Johnny, being put in a very uncomfortable position that haunts him for the rest of his days. Morgan's tale is equally chilling. Titled "The Cursed Gift", it tells of a girl who can speak with the dead and how her gift, which is normally punished by death, can be put to practical use by all. Mr. Hull understands how art can feed the imagination, and having students create an art piece that they used to fuel their creativity in the written form has made for a very in-

Aftermath - Pythagorean Triples
any of you will be familiar with the equation 3 + 4 = 52. The set (3, 4, 5) of three whole numbers is called a Pythagorean triple, because the square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the two smaller numbers. Children usually find out about these triples when they are in middle school or junior high school. There are lots of triples like this around, and it can be an absorbing task to see how many you can discover. One way to do this is to check for possible patterns, and experiment with them. Two other Pythagorean triples are (5, 12, 13) and (20, 21, 29), because 132 = 52 + 122 and 292 = 202 + 212. (The square of any number is the result of multiplying the number by itself, and is denoted by putting a superscript 2 after the number.) Here are a few lines of investigation for you: 1) Find other Pythagorean triples besides (3, 4, 5) and (5, 12, 13) where the largest two numbers differ by 1. (Hint: Add the two largest numbers together.) 2) Find other Pythagorean triples besides (3, 4, 5) and (20, 21, 29) where the smallest two numbers differ by 1. This is a harder task and the pattern is not so easy to find. It may be worth pulling out a computer or a pocket calculator and seeing if you can find any more. You can email me for more hints. 3) See if you can find other Pythagorean triples besides those described in (1) and (2). There is a general formula that gives them, but do not go to a search engine before you have given yourself a chance to explore the situation a bit. There are other ways to generalize the relationship 32 + 42 = 52. There is another sequence of equations with this one at 2

the top. The next equation in the sequence is this: 102 + 112 + 122 = 132 + 142. 3 (Writing out the squares, we 4 see that this asserts 100 + 121 + 144 = 365 = 169 + 196) Can you find other equations that continue this pattern? There is another tantalizing equation that seems to generalize 32 + 42 = 52 that involves cubes. The cube of a number is the product of the number taken three times, and is indicated by a superscript 3 to the right of the number. You might want to check that 33 + 43 + 53 = 63. Both sides of this equation equal 216. There seems to be no natural continuation of this pattern to fourth and higher powers. However, there are lots of cubes that are equal to the sum of three other cubes. For example, 13 + 63 + 83 = 93 and (−1) 3 + 73 + 103 = 123. See how many more you can find.

triguing class project. Add to it that element of horror and it's easy to see how "The Hand Tree" will be long remembered at LOLPS. Dorothy Pearson, the director of Area 8 of the RWTO, said that RTO District 20 has been a regular supporter of their Bags Plus program for years and that with the grant they are able to continue to run the program. “The only other way we get funds is from donations by our own members so these funds are very important for us and are the extra that we need to keep this program running.” The District 8 branch of the RWTO currently has 68 members, seven of whom are over 90 years of age. The RWTO's motto is “Caring and Sharing”. There are 52 branches throughout the province in a total of twelve different areas.
Loughborough student has hair cut for cancer J
by Wilma Kenny ackson Sargeant, a grade 5 student at Loughborough Public School, has been growing his hair for the past 2½ years. His Dad describes him as an avid hockey player who sometimes got mistaken for a girl, with his long blonde ponytail. Jackson wanted his hair long enough to donate, so it could help make a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to cancer treatment. Kim Harris of E-Clips Salon in Sydenham did the cutting. The whole assembly of over 500 LPS students counted 39 separate locks as they were cut and placed in an envelope. Kim then “buzz cut” what very little was left of Jackson’s hair. He assured us he had a warm toque to wear home that afternoon! Donations of loonies and toonies for cancer research are still flooding in, in recognition of Jackson’s gift.

Dumping on the Trans-Canada Trail

truck or a car and is located out of sight of any roadway, making it a good candidate for illegal dumping. Just off the edge of the trail, on a downhill slope that ends in the Middleton/MacDonald owned wetland that runs directly into Sharbot Lake, a quantity of old boards, some of them pressure treated, as well as a couch and some other furniture, are strewn about. In addition, there is brush spread out on both sides of the trail, the product of persistent illegal dumping, according to Julie MacDonald. She has been trying, for two years, to get the mess cleaned up, without success. “I have talked to both the township and the
case of illegal dumping on the edge of the Trans-Canada Trail outside of Sharbot Lake has revealed that the ownership of the trail is still in doubt. The owners of the adjacent private property have gone to both Central Frontenac Township and the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance seeking to have the material removed, but they have had no success. “I am concerned that more and more material will be dumped here because it is a convenient spot for dumping and it is looking more and more like a dump,� said Julie MacDonald, who owns property on both sides of the trail with her husband Josh Middleton. The trail can be accessed by a pickup

Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance many, many times, and this spring the Trails Alliance said they were going to clean it all up, but that never happened. And now the township can’t decide whether they own the trail or not,� she said. Kyle Labbett, the waste management coordinator for Central Frontenac, has been to the property and said that it is clear that the material has been illegally dumped. “We are still trying to find out if we actually own the trail. I haven’t been able to determine, and neither has our CAO Larry Donaldson, if the ownership of the trail property has actually been transferred to the township,� said Labbett, “and it is our policy not to remove illegally dumped material from private property, so there is nothing we can do about it at this time.� Labbett added that, although the ownership is in some doubt, an agreement is in place between the township and the East-
ern Ontario Trails Alliance to manage the Trans-Canada Trail in Central Frontenac, and Labbett said that the Trails Alliance has made an offer to do some cleanup. “Last month Kyle Labbett did tell me that the Trails Alliance was willing to pay $500 towards a clean-up, which is a lot less than they originally said they would do. It is enough to clean up the lumber, but not everything else, and after two years of waiting that’s not nearly enough.� This leaves her the option of reporting the matter to the OPP, but even if the OPP did launch an investigation it would be hard to prove who did the dumping. In the meantime the snow has covered up the material and it is unlikely anything can be done until the spring. “My concern is that people will just continue dumping, damaging my property and causing runoff into the lake,� said Julie MacDonald, “and I feel I’m only getting the run-around from the township and the trails alliance.� She said that the problem The has continued to escalate in the two years since she first reported it to township, 8109 Hwy 38,the Godfrey ON which coincides with the township starting to accept Dual Fuel brush at only one Models of their waste sites, the one at ElAvailable bow Lake south of Parham. She also worries that the increase in dumping fees for commercial loads that is 613 374-2566 coming on stream in JanuaryORwill make the situation 1-888-674-2566 worse.
