Nature north of 7- Cloyne Community Day I
n an effort to get those with the best knowledge and understanding of the land north of Highway 7 to engage with local landowners and users, members of the Frontenac Stewardship Foundation organized a Community Day in Cloyne, where numerous groups and organizations gathered at the Barrie Hall to present information and answer questions. The event, which took place on September 6, was an informal gathering that included 20 booth displays representing Quinte Conservation, the Mississippi Conservation Authority, Friends of Bon Echo, the Kennebec Lake Association, Friends of the Salmon River, the North Frontenac Dark Skies Preserve, The Land O’Lakes Tourist Association, the Land Conservancy for Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington and more. Frontenac County Manager of Economic Development, Anne Marie Young, was present highlighting the North Frontenac Township’s Community Improvement Plan, which was recently approved by the county. The topics covered at the Community Day were plentiful and included various local histories, invasive species, land stewardship, local watersheds, water quality, septic systems, local biodiversity, geology, managing crown forest land, Benny’s Pond and much more. Jenny Pearce and Matt Ellerbeck had several live snakes and salamanders on display for guests to visit with, and Chad Clifford of the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust offered up live recordings of various soundscapes found in the area, which are used by the organization to record and create an in-
ventory of the animal and insect life on their properties. The Cloyne Museum was open for those interested in the human history of the area, and certified chainsaw trainer Dave Smallwood and Dave Sexsmith of the Ontario Woodlot Association gave a basic talk and demonstration on safe chainsaw practices. On one table were numerous books on related topics including “Discovering Natural Processes” by Gray Merriam and Jeff Amos, “Wind, Water. Barley and Wine: The Nature of Prince Edward County” and “Lennox and Addington”, both by Orland French. Professional ecologist Gray Merriam, who wears many hats in the stewardship world, as the founding member of the Friends of the Salmon River, as a board member with the Frontenac Stewardship Foundation and a member of the Kennebec Lake Association, said that the primary aim of the event was to engage area landowners in conversation with members of these groups. “Ultimately it is the land owners and users themselves who are going to be the stewards of the land. I believe that we are well past the point where you just call a provincial phone number to have your questions answered. In my opinion the role of volunteer stewardship groups is to talk to landowners and users, find out what their objectives are and then help them to meet those objectives.” Merriam said that the second aim of the event was to give the various groups a chance to engage with one another. “The networking that has gone on this morning

L-r, Jenny Pearce, Gord Rogers, Dave Sexsmith, Ernest Lapchinski and Gray Merriam between the members of the groups and organizations has been wonderful and this event provides an opportunity for these likeminded groups and individuals to engage with one another, which does not happen very often.” Merriam also highlighted the fact that the land north of 7 is some of richest land in Ontario and some of the only land in the province that remains undamaged. “It is the
natural capital here that we need to be working with and we want the planners to recognize that the nature of the richness here is not in factories and shopping centers but in the land itself. The natural capital here is irreplaceable and with that in mind we should be planning all future activities here with deference to that natural capital.”
Clarendon Central parents concerned Municipal by Jeff Green arents of children attending Clarendon Central School in Plevna have called a meeting on Friday night at the ClarMill Hall to talk about staffing at the school. The meeting, which is set for 7 pm, is a reaction to finding out that as of next Monday the teaching complement at the school will be reduced by one. There are four teachers at the school currently. Three of them teach multi-grade classes, and the fourth is what is called a head teacher. The school has a part-time principal, Emily Yanch, who is also the principal of the larger Land O’ Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove, which commands much of her attention. She is on site in Plevna one half day each week. According to a parent who contacted the News, a rumour that the change was coming circulated among the community, and was confirmed by Ms. Yanch. We were unable to contact Principal Yanch at Land O’ Lakes school on Tuesday, and the supervising principal for Clarendon Central, Barbara Fraser-Stiff, was not available at the Limestone Board office. However written notification of the changes was sent home to parents on Tuesday. Currently, there are three classes in the school: a Junior Kindergarten to grade 2 class, a grade 3 to grade 5 class and a grade 6 to grade 8 class. As of next Monday, the school will be split into two classes, a Junior Kindergarten to grade 3 class, and a grade 4 to grade 8 class. The position of head teacher will remain, and that person is responsible for discipline, acts as a resource teacher for children in need of one-to-one instruction from time to time, and covers for the other teachers during their planning time. Further complicating the new scenario is the fact that the JK-3 teacher in the school is only a 3/4 time position, and the head teacher will have to cover that class each afternoon.
P
There are currently two educational assistants (EA) at Clarendon Central, one full-time and one half-time position, and as of next week the half-time EA will become full time, to help cover the extra work-load. However, according to parents and staff, there are some significant special needs in the school. In the letter to parents the board said that the changes have come about because of an enrolment decrease at Clarendon Central, and the letter also pointed out that these kinds of changes happen in schools throughout the board each September. The concern expressed by parents who contacted the News is that cutting one teacher from such a small complement of teachers represents a decrease of almost 27% in the teaching complement, which is a greater impact than would be felt in a school with a complement of 20 teachers. There, losing one teacher would only represent a 5% decrease in teachers. Clarendon Central is a designated rural remote school, which means the Limestone Board receives extra funding beyond the normal per student funding formula to cover for some of the extra costs associated with providing programming in a rural-remote environment. It is the most remote school in the Limestone Board. During the planning process that led to the construction of Granite Ridge Education Centre, an initial proposal to close Clarendon Central was quickly rebuffed, both by the community members on the planning committee and by the parents and community members in the Plevna area, who packed the school when a public meeting was held to talk about proposals for the new school. The public is invited to attend the meeting at Clar-Mill hall on Friday night. Board and school administrative officials have been invited to attend the meeting.

election update
by Jeff Green
NORTH FRONTENAC TOWNSHIP
Ron Higgins, who had been registered as a candidate for councilor in Ward 2 of North Frontenac in the upcoming municipal election, is now running for mayor. Higgins’ decision came about as the result of the sudden death of incumbent mayor, Bud Clayton, who was running for re-election. This left Claudio Valentini, the owner of Tomvale airport on Road 506 and a recently retired teacher at Sharbot Lake High School, as the only candidate. “It is rather awkward to be making the change so soon after Bud’s death,” said Higgins last week, “but there is little time before the nomination deadline and once I took the decision I felt I should make the change right away.” Higgins said that he contacted Jackie Clayton, Bud’s widow, before making the change. “It was a difficult phone call for me to make, but she said she had no problem with it,” Higgins said. Although he was running for council, Higgins said he had been planning to put his name forward for mayor later on, and had talked to Bud Clayton about his long-term political ambitions earlier this summer. Higgins is the founding chair of the North Frontenac Lake Association Alliance, a member of the township’s Economic Development Task Force, and a former board member of the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation. Betty Hunter, who is currently one of the councilors for Ward 3 in North Frontenac, has decided to run for council again, this time in Ward 2. She had indicated earlier in the summer that she was not going to run for council this time, saying “I’ve done my time”. She has served on council in two of the last three terms (she ran for mayor in 2006 and lost,

Municipal election update - continued from page 1 which put her on the sidelines for four years). “A number of people have encouraged me to run again, and I consulted with my family and decided to put my name forward again,” she said. Hunter lives in Ward 2 of the township, just metres from the border with Ward 3. She represented Ward 2 between 2003 and 2006, before running and winning in Ward 3 in 2010. She put her name in as a candidate on Friday, September 5, after Ron Higgins had switched his candidacy from Ward 2 councilor to mayor. With Hunter’s inclusion, there are three-way races for the two council seats in both Wards 2 and 3, as well as for mayor. Ensuring there was a race for council in Ward 2 was one of Hunter’s considerations. “I think people should have choices,” she said. With these changes there are now three candidates in Ward 2 (Gerry Martin, Vernon Hermer, and Betty Hunter) and three candidates (John Inglis, Denis Bedard and Fred Fowler) in Ward 3 (Palmerston-Canonto) There are only two candidates (Fred Perry and Wayne Good) for the two Ward 1 (Barrie) positions In other townships there are a number of competitive wards as well as some acclamations, as the final day for nominations approaches. The deadline is tomorrow, Friday, September 12.
ADDINGTON HIGHLANDS:
In Addington Highlands, the race for Ward 1 (Denbigh) just heated up. There are now four candidates. Joining Eythel Grant and Alice Madigan are Kirby Thompson and incumbent Tony Fritsch. There remain two candidates for reeve, incumbent Henry Hogg, and Gerald Bray. As of early this week Bill Cox and Helen Yanch are the only candidates for the two Ward 2 (Kaladar) positions.
CENTRAL FRONTENAC
In Central Frontenac, there has been a two-way race for mayor between incumbent Janet Gutowski and Councilor Frances Smith for several months. Ward 1 (Kennebec) is a relatively straightforward threeway race for the two positions between current councilors Tom Dewey and Jeff Matson, and former councilor Logan Murray. The other three wards feature crowded fields. In Ward 2 (Olden) Justin Gray, Victor Heese, Jamie Riddell, Cory Thompson, and incumbent John Purdon are seeking two positions. In Ward 3 (Oso) incumbent Wayne Millar has been joined in the race by four others: Bob Olmstead, Bill MacDonald, Sherry Whan, and Dennis Scott. Finally, in Ward 4 (Hinchinbrooke) there are six candidates, including current councillors, Heather Fox and Phillip Smith (who was appointed to Council following the death of Bill Snyder) as well as Brent Cameron, Kirby Bertrim, Sharon Shepherd and Bill Lowery.
SOUTH FRONTENAC
South Frontenac features a three-way race for mayor that includes both sitting Loughborough councilors, Ron Vandewal and Allan McPhail as well as John McEwen. The vacancies in Loughborough seem to have sparked a lot of attention, as there are six candidates seeking the two positions: Mark Schjerning, Fran Willes, Stephen Bach, Ross Sutherland, Dave Plumpton and Terry Thake. By contrast, the Portland race looks tame, but it will be contested. Incumbents Bill Robinson and John McDougall are being joined in the race by Bradley Barbeau. In Bedford, Pat Barr (who was appointed to Council following the resignation of Mark Tinlin), and Allan Revill are the only candidates for the two positions, and a similar situation is shaping up in Storrington district, where the only candidates are Norm Roberts and Ron Sleeth. Cam Naish, one of the current councilors, had been running, but he has withdrawn from the race.
TAY VALLEY
In Tay Valley, the Sherbrooke ward may see acclamations as well, as Roxanne Darling and Mark Burnham are the only candidates. Keith Kerr is the only candidate for reeve and Brian Campbell the only candidate for deputy reeve.
LANARK HIGHLANDS
Finally, for our readers in Elphin/McDonalds Corners, there are no candidates for Ward 5 of Lanark Highlands, but there is a race for mayor between Peter McLaren and Brian Stewart, and for deputy mayor between Bob Mingie and John Hall. Note – the above was written after office hours on September 9, leaving three days for new candidates to come into the race and for candidates to change the position they are seeking. Any resident of a township, whether they are full-time or seasonal, can seek a council position in any ward or they can run for mayor. The only other restriction in addition to residency is Canadian citizenship. Candidates can change the position they are running for up until the nomination deadline at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, September 12. A number of all-candidates meetings are being set up by various parties throughout the region, and the Frontenac News will be sponsoring meetings unless others have come forward. A meeting for Loughborough Council candidates is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17 at the Perth Road Sunday school hall in Perth Road Village at 7 pm. The full schedule of meetings sponsored by the Frontenac News will be announced in next week’s edition. Meetings will be taking place during a three-week period, from September 30 to October 17 in all districts with contested races. Candidate profiles for South Frontenac will be published on Sept. 25; for Central Frontenac on Oct. 2; and for North Frontenac and Addington Highlands on Oct. 9. A dedicated election section at Frontenacnews.ca will soon be up.

Hurdles cleared for Arden Court transformation
by Jeff Green he Arden Court Group Home, which closed earlier this year, may be turned into a housing complex for seniors. Central Frontenac Council approved an Official Plan amendment for the building and the lands adjacent to it, which make multi-residential use permissible. The rest of the large property will remain zoned as rural. This Official Plan amendment, in addition to a corresponding zoning amendment, has been requested by the property’s current owner as well as a prospective new owner who is planning a new housing development in place of the group home. “This will have the effect of dealing head on with our identified need for seniors’ housing,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski in supporting the proposed amendment, “and it is being done by the private sector, which is ideal.” The Official Plan amendment is going to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval, at which time the township will approve a zoning amendment. Township applies for road grants in Sharbot Lake Recently retired Central Frontenac Public Works Manager Mike Richardson came back to Council to talk about two grant applications he has agreed to spearhead for the township. The first one is for a change to the bridge on Road 38 in Sharbot Lake, just south of the high school, which goes over the former CP rail line. The bridge needs repair, which would cost $325,000. But even if that repair were done, the township is facing future maintenance costs on a bridge that is no longer necessary as the rail line is now only used as a recreational trail. The Small Communities fund, which would cover the repair, covers 90% of the cost of projects that are approved. Given that, Richardson recommended that instead of repairing the bridge, the township remove it, lower the road to highway grade, and install a large culvert to allow for crossing on the trail. That would cost between $500,000 and $900,000 depending on the mode of construction, but would result in a safer roadway for pedestrian traffic and a lower maintenance structure for future councils to maintain. The second grant is for a long contemplated reconstruction of Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake. It is a $1.2 million project, which would cost $400,000 to the township if approved. Council decided to apply for both grants, as recommended by Richardson.

Council to consider Bud Clayton conference room
J
ust two days after Warden Bud Clayton died, emotions were running high at a Committee of the Whole meeting of Frontenac County Council. Councilors paid tribute to Clayton at the start of the meeting, noting his contribution to improvements at the county, his work for Pine Meadow Nursing Home, and his commitment to North Frontenac Township. Deputy Warden Dennis Doyle then suggested that the conference room on the main floor of the county offices, which used to be used as a council chamber in the first few years following municipal amalgamation, and is now used as a committee and staff meeting room, be named the Bud Clayton room. A number of councilors said they would support such a proposal. Councilor John McDougall suggested that the proposal be deferred for a couple of weeks for council to consider any implications there may be to the naming, and for Clayton’s family to be consulted. Council agreed and the matter was deferred to the Sept. 17 council meeting. Six Sigma on a lean There have been a parade of consultants to meetings of Frontenac County over the years, but very few, if any, have a black belt. Dale Schattenkirk, the CAO of Learning to See Consulting out of Regina, Saskatchewan, is the exception. His black belt is not in Karate, however; it is in Lean Six Sigma, and it is actually a Master Black Belt. Lean Six Sigma is not a college fraternity; it is a managerial concept that results in the elimination of waste in work processes. It is a system that was adopted by large industri-

al corporations in the 1980s and 1990s and SINCE 1970 has been applied to the public sector in the last 15 years or so. The goal of Lean Six Sigma is the elimination of eight kinds of waste in institutional settings: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion, extra-processing, which are expressed in an acronym – DOWNTIME. For a cost of $30,000, Shattenkirk brought a team to Frontenac County this summer to look at the county’s procurement processes and at logistics within Frontenac Paramedic Services. They found little to improve upon in the procurement end but as far as logistics within Frontenac Paramedic Services they found a number of what Schattenkirk called “opportunities to improve”. Most of these have to do with better tracking of supplies used by paramedics on an ongoing basis, less extra driving by managerial and support staff to ensure supplies are in place, and better tracking of supplies to cut down on the amount of materials that end up being recycled because they reach their past due date before being used.

What Schattenkirk was more interested in talking about, however, was the work culture at Frontenac County, which impressed him. “You guys are in a very good position in terms of quality improvement,” he said. “You have a group that is committed to improving the operation at all levels of the organisation.” He suggested training staff to do quality improvement, using the LEAN system to train a few key members of both the management and staff teams to a LEAN yellow and green belt level. “The idea is to have everyone in the coun-

You won’t need jokers like us to telling you what to do.” He also said that the money charged by his company is offset by savings, either in “light green or dark green dollars” - light green dollars referring to time saved by staff that can be used for more productive work, and dark green referring to cash savings. A proposal to extend the contract with Learning to See Consulting will be considered by Council later this month.

Sometimes visiting your doctor, you are given a lot of information and it can be hard to keep it all straight. At the end of the visit, try this: repeat back the main instructions your doctor has given you to ensure you got it right. It helps the doctor and it will certain make things clearer for you. Your doctor won’t mind. More women are having their first baby later in life compared to their counterparts of a generation ago. There were nine times more first births to women over 35 than there were 40 years ago. On the plus side, these children seem to fare better due to better economic security. On the negative side, older women are at greater risk of having complications like diabetes and heart problems during pregnancy. Here’s another reason to stop smoking, especially if you are a parent. It seems that children of smoking parents are more likely to experiment with cigarettes and end up being heavy smokers themselves. If you need help quitting smoking, our pharmacists can help. Talk to them.

Living in Canada, we don’t consider bugs as part of our daily diet but the United Nations reports that over 2 billion people worldwide supplement their diets with insects. Insects are actually quite nutritious being high in protein, fat and minerals. For example, caterpillars have more protein than beef.

New digs for Land’ O Lakes Emmanuel United Church by Julie Druker
Are you sure you want to run for council? F M by Julie Druker unicipal expert Fred Dean packed the Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake on Sept. 4 for a public meeting highlighting the reasons of why and why not to run for council in the upcoming October municipal elections. Dean did not mince his words and gave listeners much food for thought. On the “Do not run” side of the conversation, Dean targeted those who may have been thinking they could make a fast buck for a minimal amount of work. I am taking liberty here and summing up what I remember Dean stressing. “If you don’t like meetings...council is not for you. And if you don’t like reading reports, and receiving irate phone calls at all hours of the day, council is not for you.” Dean said also that if you think it won’t impact your family life, council is not for you, especially if you are running for mayor. If you have motives of pecuniary interest (meaning your spouse, children or parents might benefit financially from your votes as a member of council), council is not for you. He advocated reading books regarding the laws on pecuniary interest. On the “Do run” side, Dean did state the heart felt reasons as to why those interested should be throwing their hats in the ring. “It requires someone who is really committed to their community, someone who is a good listener, who loves meetings and who is willing to advance the issues that are important to the community and who can also work well with other people. Those elected to council do not get to chose who they play with in the sand box; they have to work well with all of the other electorates.” Hat in or hat out, Dean definitely opened up a dialogue for those considering putting their hat in for the upcoming municipal race.
or Reverend Judith Evenden of Land O’Lakes Emmanuel United Church, designing and renovating what will be a brand new church is a dream come true. In 2009, the Harlowe, Cloyne and Riverside Flinton United churches amalgamated and became the Land O’Lakes Emmanuel congregation. In 2011 the members made the decision to sell their three churches (and one manse) and begin the search for a new place of worship. Evenden said that it was accessibility issues and/or lack of washroom facilities at the three churches that led to the decision to find a new place of worship. “The congregation came at that time to a place of knowing that if everyone let go of their churches and grieved that loss, we could then move forward and start fresh with a new vision and a new sense of coming together.” Following the sale of the Cloyne United Church in October 2011, the last of the churches to be sold, the task group appointed with the job of finding a new facility decided on the criteria that needed to be met. They wanted a centrally located, accessible, and multi-purpose facility to be purchased outright so that the church would not have to go into debt. That goal was reached in November 2013 when a threebedroom bungalow with a three-car garage in Northbrook, which was built 10 years ago by Sandor and Eleanore Kaltner, was purchased. The building is located on a 23-acre parcel of land and is slowly being transformed into the new church facility that Evenden believes will meet all of the needs of the congregation while also serving the community.
PAGE 7
The architect working on the project is Bruce Downey of Kingston with local contractor Mike Cumming. The 2900 square foot main floor, which incorporates the former garage space. is wheelchair accessible and boasts a 1600 square foot sanctuary. “The worship space is bigger than any we have had in the past and the plan is to make it completely flexible with no permanent furniture so that we can use it for worship but also for weddings, funerals, yoga, movie nights and other community events,” Evenden said. Also on the main floor are a servery/ kitchen area, three washrooms, a meeting room, main office and the minister’s study. In the main vestibule will hang a panting by Don Wise titled “Church Street”, which depicts the five churches in the former pastoral charge. A verandah that stretches across the entire front of the building will be a place for visiting and Evenden hopes to be able to have numerous walking trails on site. There are also plans that the indoor elevator on site will also be upgraded as well. Some of the old furnishings from the former churches will grace the new building, including

rincipal Angela Salmond was nominated to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by her daughter, Taylor, a grade 12 student and Student Council President. The nomination came with a twist...it wasn't just one bucket! A student representative from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 dunked their prin-
cipal with a bucket of refreshing ice water. Angela nominated Heather Highet (Principal of Granite Ridge), Joel Hasler (teacher at NAEC) and Paul & Audrey Parks (NAEC cafeteria staff). In the photo by Summer Andrews, Henry Hasler (JK), with a little help from Andre Tryon (Grade 11), gets the first bucket of ice water to start things off.

on Sep. 18 at the Perth Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E., at 7:30 pm. Admission is $2. The talk will be given by David Frisch, who became curious about a historical marker he saw at the roadside of a farm just outside Almonte. George C. Eccles, who was born and raised on the farm, was the first wireless telegrapher to die while carrying on his duties on board a ship while it was sinking. In 1909 the S.S. Ohio bound for Alaska, struck an uncharted rock in Swanson Bay off the British Columbia coast. Eccles stayed at his post transmitting SOS signals and went down with the ship. Of the 213 passengers and crew, all except five including Eccles, were saved. He is buried in the Eccles family plot in St. Paul’s Anglican Church Cemetery in Almonte, though there is no marker for him. However, the Wireless Operators Monument in Battery Park, Manhattan, NY, USA, which commemorates those who died in ships’ sinkings, includes his name. You don't have to be a member of the historical society to attend; the event is open to everyone. Information: www.perthhs.org

people's imaginations,” Evenden said. The renovations have not come without challenges since as a space of public assembly the building must meet specific health, fire and building codes. “I think people are wondering what is taking so long but a lot has to be done to make sure that everything is done properly and up to code.” While most of the major construction work has been done, the drywall and finishing touches still need to be completed. Much of the work being done and the materials have been donated by members of the congregation and the community. Evenden hopes that the community will also use the space and with that in mind is inviting members of the community at large who support the values of the church to consider donating to the cost of the renovations. Those interested can contact her at 613-336-2655 or revlole@bell.net. Evenden is hoping that the project will completed by October. “Personally I'd love us to be in here for the World Wide Communion Sunday that takes place the first week in October.” Until then worship will continue at the Lions Hall in Northbrook on Sundays at 10am.

Appaloosa - cont'd from pg. 11 Hunter Under Saddle and third in the Western Pleasure, and with one more show to go this year, which takes place in Bethany, Ont. on September 13 & 14, she is hoping for first place finishes in both events. Brittany first came in contact with Steele and the North Fork Equine Center when she did a co-op placement there as a grade 11 student at Sydenham HS. “I really enjoyed the experience and saw that it was a really well run facility so I decided to board Pearl here and also receive training and coaching from Cindy”, Brittany said when I interviewed the two at North Fork earlier this week. Cindy Steele has over 30 years experience in the industry and opened the centre 20 years ago. She boards, trains and coaches and also sells horses. She trains and coaches in both English and Western styles and boards close to 30 animals, some of which are champions. She said it is the “small farm-type atmosphere here and the one-on-one coaching” that she has become well known for.

The underdog part of this story came out later in our interview when Brittany informed me that her standings in Fort Worth came quite unexpectedly. Pearl had been in a car accident in August of 2013 when a driver sideswiped the trailer she was riding in, causing the horse serious injuries to her back right leg and hip. The vet said she would never jump again. “We talked about how to proceed and in mid-December 2013 we started Pearl back and with the help of a chiropractor and veterinarian we slowly and carefully brought her along'”, Brittany explained. Cindy spoke of the special bond between the horse and her rider. “This mare has a lot of heart and I really believe that she would jump to the moon for Brittany”. Both Cindy and Brittany are thankful to their many sponsors, Brittany's parents and everyone involved who made it possible and helped raise $10,000 to cover some of the costs associated with their trip to Texas. Brittany dedicated her world-class win to Cindy Steele's sister, Lisa MacDonald, who passed away in August 2013 and who loved to watch Pearl jump.

North Lanark Health Centre supports seniors fitness in Snow Road by Julie Druker eniors in Snow Road have been keen to stay ac-
S
tive and healthy, and four members of the community took the initiative and have been running regular seniors fitness classes at the Snow Road Community Hall. Recognizing their initiative and in an effort to serve the residents in their western North Frontenac catchment area, the North Lanark Community Health Centre recently trained the four local residents in their seniors fitness instruction program. Sheila Kittle and Carolyn Jarvis recently completed their senior fitness training through the NLCHC and are now holding one-hour classes at the Snow Road Community Hall. The classes take place there on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30 -10:30am. On September 8, Kara Symbolic, a community health promoter with the North Lanark Community Health Centre, attended the first official Monday class where 16 seniors were participating. She congratulated the four trainees, two of whom, Sue Sworowski and Laurie Front l-r Sheila Kittle, Kara Symbolic and Carolyn Jarvis Ryder are just finishing up their training and will also be have been serving residents mostly in North Lanark. Syminstructing the classes. bolic said the NLCHC is unique in that it sends community The NLCHC serves a large rural population and until now health promoters and community developers, who work with
community members on the root causes of illness and ill health. “We do a lot of health promotion and illness prevention by running programs like fitness classes, cooking classes and mindfulness-based stress reduction classes. We do a lot to help people build their own capacity to prevent sickness and disease from happening,” Symbolic said. The classes and programs are free and open to all members of the community. Participants do not have to be clients of the health centre. “People on fixed and low incomes often find it difficult to participate in community life so we have a strong commitment to being able to offer accessible programming for all members of the community,” Symbolic explained. Symbolic is delighted that Snow Road community members are stepping forward to make a healthier community. The classes at Snow Road are geared to seniors and older adults and incorporate a short warm up, 20 minutes of cardio vascular exercise, a cool down, 20 minutes of strength training and some flexibility and balance exercises. Those with specific injuries or particular health issues are welcome and can be easily accommodated in the classes. For more information contact Carolyn Jarvis at 613278-0696.
Local trio beat the odds at Appaloosa Youth World Show I t's one of those classic underdog stories, but in this case it was a horse, her rider and their trainer who beat the odds recently in Fort Worth, Texas. Brittany Doyle of Sydenham, her eight-year-old mare Pearl, and their coach Cindy Steele of the North Fork Equine Center in Piccadilly, traveled to Fort Worth, Texas to compete in the 2014 Appaloosa Youth World Show on July 3, 4 and 5. Brittany and Pearl placed 8th in the Hunt Seat Equitation Over Fences, 10th in the Hunter Hack event, and 5th in the National Snaffle Bit Association competition. Brittany is a graduate of Sydenham High School and is currently studying for a bachelor’s degree in science and nursing at St. Lawrence College in Brockville. She has owned Pearl and has been riding her since she was seven years old and Pearl was six months old. The two have been training with Cindy Steele for the last two years. The Appaloosa Youth World Show was Brittany's first time competing at an international level at a world class event, one that attracts thousands of riders and horses from all over the world. Brittany and Pearl have been competing nation-
