In South Frontenac, the surprise was about the lack of entries in two wards, Bedford and Storrington. In both cases there are two candidates, who have been acclaimed and will be at the Council table on December 2, when the new fouryear term starts. Not only is it unusual for council seats to be uncontested; in this case three of the four candidates who have been acclaimed will be brand new councilors. In Bedford, Alan Revill will be a new councilor. Revill will be no stranger at the township office, however, since he was the chief building official for South Frontenac until he retired a couple of years back. Pat Barr, who was appointed to Council when Mark Tinlin resigned last year, will be returning. Barr ran for Council in 2010 and finished third behind Tinlin and Del Stowe, who did not seek re-election this time around. In Storrington District, the two incumbents, Larry York and Cam Naish, stepped down, and only two people put their names forward. Norm Roberts and Ronald Sleeth have found themselves elect-

arb Fraser-Stiff and Andre Labrie had some explaining to do on Sept. 15. The two superintendents from the Limestone District School Board (LDSB) appeared before a special meeting of the Clarendon Central Public School (CCPS) Parent Council, which was called in order for parents to voice their concerns about the board’s recent decision to transfer one of the teachers at the school, effectively cutting one classroom from the school. Until this week the school had a JK-2 class, a grade 3-5 class, and a grade 6-8 class. Now there is a JK-3 and a grade 4-8 class. Over 60 members of the community filled the gym at CCPS to hear Fraser-Stiff and Labrie explain the board’s decision. Speaking on behalf of the community, retired CCPS principal, Brenda Martin, began the meeting. She made a presentation that cited her concerns that the issue was a teacher/curriculum issue. “This is the only school in North Frontenac Township, a school that has been here for 52 years and our education dollars should remain in the township.” She argued for the viability of local small schools and commended the parents whose efforts kept the school open after the PARC Process aimed to close it years back. Martin then requested that Labrie and Fraser-Stiff make efforts to ensure that at the very least, the primary teacher position at CCPS (which is currently a ¾ time position) be increased to full time to help meet the needs of the students in the Junior Kindergarten to grade 3 class. Regarding the junior/intermediate (grades 4-8) students she said that their needs cannot be met by just one teacher alone. “For older students it is impossible for one teacher to cover the required topics in the curriculum even in a two-year cycle.” After being assured by Fraser-Stiff that it is manageable for a single teacher to integrate the math and English curricula, Martin said that her biggest concern is the science curriculum. “Yes you can integrate language and math but when it comes to science, it is impossible for one teacher to cover all of the necessary components required,” she said. Parents had a chance to raise their numerous concerns. They mentioned the added stress and challenges the teachers will face teaching more curriculum with less classroom support to a wider age group. They also talked about a decrease in oneon-one instruction time and more interruptions to all students. Many said they fear that their children will not receive a satisfactory education that will prepare them properly for high school. Barb Fraser-Stiff said that she understands that it sounds impossible but that the new changes can work for students: “It’s been done before,” she said. Both she and Labrie talked about two schools in the LDSB, one on Wolfe Island and the other on Amherst Island that have

two classrooms serving JK–grade eight students. The Amherst Island school has been operating for over a decade as a two classroom school and Fraser-Stiff said that its graduates are thriving. When questioned about the lack of discussion that came with the recent announcement, Labrie was apologetic but explained that the decisions typically happen in September once the finalized numbers of students are known. He said that similar changes have taken place at one third of the schools in the LDSB. Another parent at Monday night’s meeting wondered why local students in the area are allowed to be bused to other schools if decreasing enrollment is the reason for the cuts in their local school. Labrie pointed out that the decision to cut a teacher from Clarendon Central had been taken not just because the school’s student population dropped this year to 39 from 41 last year, but as one of the measures that the board took this month to deal with decreased enrollment over all of its schools. One concerned parent quoted the Spring 2014 Technical Paper, which is put out by the Ministry of Education. The paper outlines the Supported Schools Allocation, which provides additional funding for teaching and support staff to improve the viability of small rural schools. She said that Clarendon Central is one such school and she wondered why staff are being cut when the document states that designated schools with 50 or more elementary students generate funding for a minimum of 7.5 elementary teachers. “Surely if you do the math, with 39 students here we should be able to support four teachers.” Fraser-Stiff and Labrie said they did not know all the details about how the Supported Schools Allocation worked, because that is dealt with by the school board’s finance department. A call to the school board the following day generated a few details from Jane Douglas of the communications department about the Supported Schools Allocation. A number of schools in the board, including Granite Ridge and North Addington Education Centres are eligible for Supported Schools Allocation, Douglas said, and the money is used for a number of purposes throughout the board, including physical and administrative costs as well as paying for teachers. She did not have the figures available for the allocation for 2014, nor details about how it is being spent, but hopefully they will be available later this week. Although Fraser-Stiff and Labrie could not make any concrete promises to parents and staff, they did promise to raise all of their concerns to their senior team and said they would get back as soon as possible with any updates or changes. “We recognize that this community here is asking for some help and support in this matter and we will bring everything that we heard here today back to our staff.” Parents

2014 Municipal Election Notice Addington Highlands Township Pursuant to Sec 37(1) of the Municipal Election Act, 1996 (“MEA”) E. Helen Yanch and Bill Cox have been declared “elected by acclamation” to the position of Councillor, Ward 2 for the Corporation of the Township of Addington Highlands for a four (4) year term of Council Commencing December 1, 2014.

vidson, Lynda Hawn, and incumbent Suzanne Ruttan.

THE NORTH FRONTENAC SHUFFLE

There is no way around the fact that the North Frontenac election is being conducted under a dark cloud. The sudden death on September 1 of Mayor Bud Clayton, who had been seeking re-election, resulted in an outpouring of grief among members of council, township staff, as well as the township as a whole. It also set in motion a chain reaction that has affected the mayor’s race and the race in at least one of the wards. As we reported last week, Ron Higgins pulled his name as a candidate in Ward 2 and is running for mayor against Claudio Valentini. This guarantees that the new mayor will have no Council experience. Once the dust settled last Friday, all the current members of council are running for re-election, although two have shuffled to new wards. In Ward 1, incumbents Wayne Good and Fred Perry are both seeking re-election, and at the last minute, Lonnie Watkins, who is currently one of the councilors in Ward 2 submitted his name to run in Ward 1. In Ward 2, Vernon Hermer and incumbent Gerry Martin were joined in the race by Betty Hunter, who is a current member of Council from Ward 3. Meanwhile, in Ward 3, Denis Bedard and Fred Fowler are running, as is incumbent John Inglis.

QUIET RACE IN ADDINGTON HIGHLANDS

There were no last-minute changes to the race in Addington Highlands. The two candidates for reeve, Gerald Bray and long-time incumbent Henry Hogg both put their names in early in the year (Hogg doing so on January 2, the earliest opportunity). In Ward 2 incumbents Bill Cox and Helen Yanch have

september 18, 2014 been acclaimed to another term in office. There is a four-way race in Ward 1, however. Eythel Grant and Alice Madigan stepped forward in early August, and Kirby Thompson and incumbent Tony Fritsch jumped in at the beginning of September.

CENTRAL FRONTENAC

In Central Frontenac, there was one late change, as Kirby Bertrim withdrew his name for Hinchinbooke ward. There remains a two-way race for mayor between incumbent Janet Gutowski and long-time councilor Frances Smith, as well as crowded races in all four wards. The four-way race in Kennebec features Tom Dewey (incumbent), Cindy Kelsey, Jeff Matson (incumbent) and Logan Murray. There are five candidates in Olden: Justin Gray, Victor Heese, John Purdon (incumbent), Jamie Riddell, and Cory Thompson. There are five candidates in Oso as well: Bill MacDonald, Wayne Millar (incumbent), Bob Olmstead, Dennis Scott, and Sherry Whan. There are also five candidates in Hinchinbrooke: Brent Cameron, Heather Fox (incumbent), Jim Lowery, Sharon Shepherd, and Phillip Smith (incumbent).

TRUSTEE RACES JOINED

Steve Magee was looking like the only candidate to replace Ann Goodfellow on the Limestone Board from South and North Frontenac and Addington Highlands, but with two days to go before the deadline, two others joined the race. They are David Kendall and Karen McGregor. Wendy Procter is being contested for her long-held position as trustee for the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic School Board for Frontenac and L&A Counties by Jodi Cameron.

TAY VALLEY ACCLAMATIONS - NOT QUITE.

Until the last minute, South Sherbrooke ward incumbents Mark Burnham and Roxanne Darling were walking to reelection, but just before the deadline Neil Bova spoiled the party and put his name in, sparking an election campaign. As well, the race for deputy reeve is on now, as Mick Wicklum decided to contest incumbent Brian Campbell.

Letter to the editor Dark Skies and North Frontenac in conflict

eff Green started off his Sept. 4 North Frontenac Council Report with the headline "Dark Skies and Helipad in conflict." Well, the conflict over Dark Skies extends much deeper than the 506 Helicopter pad. Voters throughout North Frontenac are lining up to tell incumbents and those vying for a seat on council what they think about Frontenac Township doling out cash to a few hobbyists and astronomers so they could have what has been described as a free place to play after dark. Tax payers have always felt this was a waste of money and land. Wasted on a project that nobody wanted, nobody needed and that gave the people of the township back nothing in return for more than $41,000 spent. Imagine the reaction of these same tax payers when Jeff reported Councillor Hunter’s off-handed disregard for our basic right to emergency and air ambulance service. During council discussions when she complained landing lights at the helicopter pad on 506 interfered with events at the Dark Skies Astronomy pad, the Councillor suggested the 506 helicopter pad should be temporarily closed. Emergency airlifts could all be moved to the Ompah helipad which she said was only a few minutes away. Now that’s a challenge many volunteers on the fire department would love to assist her with. To prove her point that a few minutes life saving time was of no consequence, she could have a volunteer strap her on a backboard with a neck brace and be made completely immobile. Then one of her moon and star gazing friends could actually clock the number of "few minutes" or "quarter hours" it takes to move her 25 kms by land ambulance from the 506 Helipad to Ompah. As I said originally, for those who support any new tourist venture such as Dark Skies or Saturday Night Mud Wrestling, we’ve lots of space in North Frontenac. But please, build on your own land, not ours, build on your own dime, not ours, and don’t build on the health, welfare and backs of the full time long term residents of this township. - Leo Ladouceur

By Jeff Green SINCE 1970 entral Frontenac Mayor Janet Gutowski said today that Tay Valley’s gain in hiring Larry Donaldson is Central Frontenac’s loss. Donaldson was hired 14 months ago after a long search and brought stability to the position after the previous CAO left abruptly after a difficult period. “I got nervous when I found out last month that Tay Valley was hiring a new CAO, because I knew if Larry was working there he would save some commuting time,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski, adding, “while we are disappointed that Larry is leaving we wish him well in the future. We were comfortable with him here.” Donaldson lives in Stittsville and will have a shorter commute to the Tay Valley Township office on Harper Road near Perth. Donaldson’s wife, Tammy Kealey-Donaldson,

Letter to the editor No thanks to FPTP!

his is Democracy Week and how does it make you feel that you can be elected as an MP with only 7% of the registered voters voting for you? Not very good, I’m sure, especially when the winner says he has a mandate from the people! In the June Ontario election 3.9% more voters came out to vote. This is a good sign. But how do you feel about our electoral system when the percentage of folks who went to their polling station and declined their ballot went up by 1,245%. Or the number of rejected ballots went up by 76%, and the number of unmarked ballots increased by 131%. These people are telling us that the current electoral system does not represent the voters. Our First Past The Post, winner take all, no longer represents the multicultural, multifaceted society we live in today. A change is desperately needed. - Norm Hart

is the Ontario Works manager for Lanark County, whose offices are close to those of Tay Valley Township. In a Frontenac News article from early August last year, which came out a few weeks after Donaldson took on the CAO position, he said the following: “When I first met the staff, on my first day on the job, the only question that was asked was if I was planning on staying.” With Donaldson leaving, coupled with the retirement of Public Works Manager Richardson earlier this summer, there are now vacancies at two of the senior positions at the township as we enter the election period. Donaldson is staying on at the township until the election is over. His last day will be October 31. Mayor Gutowksi said that at the next meeting the township will develop a plan for a new CAO search. Because all but one member of the current council is seeking a new term on council, council can operate as normal during the election period.

will bring everything that we heard here today back to our staff.” Parents and staff are hoping that the situation is resolved since, as one parent pointed out, the announcement of the changes has caused undue stress to staff, parents and students alike, with many parents feeling their children have already lost out at their first month back at school. CCPS Principal Emily Yanch said she “appreciated the parent community organizing the meeting, and hearing their concerns being addressed by members of the board.” (The News received word late on Tuesday from Brenda Martin that the Junior Kindergarten to grade 3 teaching at CCPS is being upgraded from a ¾ time position to a full time position.

By 2020, about one in three Canadians will be diabetic or prediabetic. If you haven’t been screened for diabetes and are over 40, check with your doctor. Diabetes can be prevented through lifestyle changes, weight-loss, better nutrition and exercise. As we age, our eyes sometimes don’t produce enough tears to keep the eye moist, causing “dry eye syndrome”. This can also be caused by certain medications as well. It’s important to keep the eye surface moist. Talk to our pharmacists about this. We can check your medication list for possible drug causes and recommend a suitable moisturizing eye drop or ointment to help. Pharmacists are often asked for something to reduce heartburn. There are drugs available for this but often just making a few changes in your life might do the job. Avoid eating less than three hours before bed. Eat smaller meals. The more you eat, the longer it takes for the stomach to empty, which can contribute to heartburn. To reduce heartburn, try to identify which foods cause it. Common culprits are tomatoes, garlic, milk, coffee, cola soft drinks and chocolate. You might try sleeping on a bit of an incline using a wedge-shaped cushion. Lastly, lose those extra pounds that could put more pressure on the stomach, causing contents to move up the esophagus. If all this doesn’t reduce your heartburn, talk to your pharmacists. There are a number of products available without prescription that may help.

Rec Committee members set up the kids' games under the picnic shelter and had cub car painting and races in the rink building, which were a big hit. The Loggers' Games continued as though the sun was shining, a hearty crew used to working in all kinds of weather.

ated with a surgery to have Drew fitted with a diaphragmatic pacemaker, which will allow him to breath easier and could eliminate his need for a ventilator. The campaign officially ended on August 27 after successfully raising $37,638, more than the initial $35,000 goal; however Teeter still felt the need to contribute to what she believes will be the ongoing medical costs for him and his family. With that in mind, Teeter and fellow members of the congregation of Cole Lake Free Methodist Church, Jean Freeman and Cheryl Silver, organized a bake/yard sale fundraiser on September 13. Members of the church and the local community donated all of the goods and a steady stream of visitors attended the event. The three ladies were thrilled with the generosity of the attendees, many of whom made generous extra cash donations to the cause. By the end of the day over $625 was raised. Those who missed the event and who would still like to make a donation can call Cheryl Silver at 613-374-3250.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Sydenham Lake Canoe Club hosts O Cup #4 Fall Classic O ver 90 paddlers from across the province endured the less than ideal weather conditions at the Ontario Canoe Kayak Sprint Racing Affiliation’s (OCSRA) O Cup Fall Classic event, which took place at the Point in Sydenham on an unseasonably cold and rainy September 13. The classic was hosted by the Sydenham Lake Canoe Club (SLCC) and 92 paddlers competed in a number of 200 metre canoe and kayak races as well as open and masters events. The event also included a 6000 metre team pursuit race open to paddlers of all ages. The fall classic was the fourth race in the OCSRA's Ontario Cup series and it was a chance for paddlers to gain points that could lead to their joining the Ontario paddling team. The SLCC to date has 60 members, and thanks to a grant from the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation that the club received in November 2013, it also now has a nationally sanctioned regatta course, which menas that major paddling events can now take place on Sydenham Lake. Five paddlers from the SLCC competed on Saturday. Sebastien L’Abbe placed fourth in his heat in the 200metre K1 under 14 event. In the same event Ian Ramzy tipped his kayak and unfortunately was disqualified. Twin brothers Nicholas and Mathieu Symons, who competed in the under

Nicholas and Mathieu Symons 12-200metre K1 event, placed fifth and sixth in their heats respectively. George Willes placed 2nd in his heat in the Boys K1 200m Helen Parfitt, SLCC vice-commodore, explained that for the SLCC paddlers the event is not really about winning or even placing since the majority of the paddlers are quite a bit younger than many of their competitors. “The benefit of this event for our younger paddlers was to have the opportunity to compete on “home turf” and to have one additional opportunity to compete with paddlers from all across Ontario. Our young paddlers have had only one All-Ontario competition

to date so our aim was to see how they fare ‘racing up’ with older paddlers in the U15 events”. That being said, one Sydenham paddler, Genevieve L'Abbe, who is currently a member of the Ontario Team and who competed on Saturday as a member of the Ottawa River Canoe Club, placed first in the U 17 women's K200 event and her result will go towards her Ontario team's ranking status. Genevieve also raced in the 6000m team pursuit event and though her team did not place in the top three, it looks as though L'Abbe as a solo paddler is poised to make waves. The seven clubs who participated on Saturday were Balmy Beach, Richmond Hill, Cobourg, Gananoque, Carleton Place, Ottawa River, and Sydenham. One of the primary concerns of those competing, coaching, officiating and observing on Saturday was trying to stay warm. Prior to their races the Symons brothers chose to paddle around in their boats in an effort to keep their muscles from tensing up. One coach told me that wearing the right clothing is key. “It's all about layers and choosing the right kinds of fabrics. Wool is good, cotton is a no-no,” one coach said. This year’s Ontario Cup was won by the Balmy Beach Canoe Club of Toronto, who took home the highest number of points overall. Saturday’s event attracted over 160 visitors to Sydenham and organizers wish to thank the many generous local sponsors and volunteers. For more information visit www.sydenhamlakecanoeclub.com

The tradition of a fine dining experience will be continued and an affordable daily menu of lunches with numerous healthy starters, home made daily soups, fresh baked breads, home made pizzas, a fresh charcuterie (meat) plate, a cheese platter and delicious locally made desserts will be offered. A prime rib dinner special is another plan and will be offered regularly on the weekends. The new owners bring with them a love of Indonesian food, which is popular in the Netherlands. Customers will be able to enjoy skewered meats dipped in a spicy peanut sauce, as well as a native Indonesian treat called Rijsttafel, a large plate of different meat, fish and veggie dishes served with different kinds of rice, which will be offered on special nights. Some of the traditional Netherlands desserts they have planned are Stroopwafel, a thin caramelized chewy waffle-type cookie as well as poffertjes, mini puff pancakes that are made fresh and served with butter and powdered sugar. The couple plan to cater special events and parties off site and invite special events bookings at the restaurant as well. Live music is also a consideration and there are hopes to have a regular live music evening once monthly. Renovations for the restaurant are also in the plans and the new owners hope to make the interior walls friendly to local artisans who might want to hold a show and/or display their work there. Jeroen and Tess are working on a new website but the old one is still up and running (fallriverrestaurant.ca). The gift shop is closed until later this year, but the couple plan to stock it with a wide selection of gourmet food products, cottage/home wares, truffles and more. While Tess and Jeroen definitely have their work cut out for them, already they are enjoying meeting and serving their new customers. The Fall River Restaurant is located at 21980 Highway 7 in Maberly and will be open year round Wednesdays through Sundays with the kitchen open from 11am until 8pm. Call 613268-2197 to make reservations or email info@fallriverrestuarant.ca

hanging careers mid-life is very rare but crossing an ocean to do so is even more rare. Tess Steenberghe and Jeroen Kerrebijn, who took over the helm at the Fall River Restaurant in Maberly in July, moved from the Netherlands to the area after deciding they wanted a change - a big change. She, a lawyer and he, a neck and head cancer surgeon, left Dordrecht, the Netherlands along with their three children to embark on a new life in Canada. The couple first became enamored with the beauty of this country after Jeroen completed a fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto in 1996. Ten years ago they purchased a cottage in the Haliburton area and they have known for decades that they wanted to make the move to Canada. It was their 20-year-old daughter Isabel who gave them the final push they needed. “She said that if we were going to do it we needed to do it now,” said Tess. Both knew that they would not be able to pursue their professions here without having to go back to school, but they embraced the challenge of finding new work. “It was a combination of factors,” Jeroen said. “We knew that we and the kids were getting older and knew that the sooner we came over the better.” Tess said that buying the restaurant/coffee house and gift shop in Maberly was a complete coincidence. “We love the nature and the ample outdoor space in Canada and were looking at outdoor businesses, like resorts or campgrounds and a friend put us onto this area. We actually found the restaurant listing on the internet ProAlliance Realty, Brokerage just by chance and it looked like the perfect thing for us.” Direct Line: 613.336.1737 Neither have experience Toll Free: 1-866-969-0998 in the restaurant business Email: chriswinney1@aol.com though Tess waited tables www.landolakesproperty.com as a student and Jeroen 12309 Hwy 41, delivered goods to restauNorthbrook, ON K0H 2G0 rants, but former owners Michelle Murphy and Paul Zammit agreed to help by showing them the ropes. While much remains the same at the restaurant in these early days, Tess and Jeroen have some interesting new plans.

Outdoors Observations

artin, a reader from the Ardoch area, has had an invasion of hundreds of colorful beetles in his pole beans. Steve Blight and his wife Anna, a trained horticulturalist, were able to identify them as the nymphs of Green Stink Bugs. Spraying with a mixture of 1 part liquid dish soap to 40 parts of water works well to control them. Remember to rinse the plant after 15 minutes or so.

Art in the Saw Mill in Verona T

en local artists displayed their unique creations at the second annual Art in the Saw Mill show in Verona on September 7. The venue is perfect for such an event, spacious and roomy and the show attracted a large crowd of art buyers and enthusiasts to the historic old mill. Five painters covered a wide array of subject matter including landscapes, flowers, and wild life and five artisans displayed their more functional wares: gorgeous quilts, metal lawn and garden ornaments, photographs and woolen items. Ted Stewart of Newboro, an award-winning wildfowl sculptor who is self taught and who has made over 1400 bird carvings over his 20-year career was on hand carving a basswood wood duck. His display included numerous wild fowl, including loons, Niska (Canada geese that he carves out of single piece of cedar), pied-billed grebe Stewart carves mostly basswood but also cedar, tupelo, pine and he paints the carvings with acrylic paints. He taught for 15 years at

the Kashechewan school in James Bay and also does archeological work. Stewart has won over 135 awards for his work across Canada and in the United States including a first place award at the 2014 World Championships in Ocean City, Maryland. His work can be seen on his Facebook artists page at tedstewart-art.

Reno Rescue seeking stalled cottage renovations I

by Jeff Green f you are a cottage owner and a crackerjack carpenter to boot, skip this article. If, however, you are a cottage owner who is a bit DIY-challenged, there may be a reality show starring role in your future. Mountain Road Productions, an Ottawa-based TV production company that produces shows with a home renovation theme, among others, is casting for a new cottage renovation series for Cottage Life Television. The show is called Reno Rescue and is filming later this fall. Reno Rescue features carpenter Dave Depencier, who will bring his team to cottages with disaster reno projects that are going nowhere fast and turn them into “a little piece of cottage perfection” while teaching skills to the not-so-handy homeowner along the way. To apply to be featured on the show, eligible cottagers must send interior and exterior photos of their cottage, a photo of themselves and their loved ones, a brief written description of their renovation situation, and their contact information to casting@mountainroad.ca Those who are chosen will be required to invest $2,000 into their project, but all the rest of the labour and materials will be covered by the show. According to the Margaret Robitaille at Mountain Road, one of the features the show will be looking at is the relationship between the homeowners. The one partner who has undertaken the stalled reno will stay on and work with Dave Depencier, and the other, long-suffering partner will go off for a few days, returning for the big reveal at the end. Can you see yourself as a TV star? Apply as soon as possible as filming is set to start in late October, and those chosen will have all the work done long before next year’s sunny cottage season.

others involved in school education from across Canada. Substantive discussion by such a wide group was both unusual and very productive, and it was decided to have annual conferences. Thus came into being the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group, which to this day continues to meet for about five days every May. Not all the business of these conferences occurs in the formal sessions. One year in the 1980s, the conference was held in Kingston, and a number of us had an evening stroll along the peaceful shore of Lake Ontario exchanging nice problems. Claude Gaulin, from Laval University, shared a problem he heard on a recent visit to Russia. A circular table has in its surface four deep wells symmetrically placed at the vertices of a square. Within each well is placed a drinking tumbler, which may be either upright or inverted. They are not all the same way up to begin with, and the task of the operator is to end up with them all upright or all inverted according to certain rules. The operator cannot see into any of the wells. She proceeds by a number of moves. In each move, she may put her hands into two of the wells, determine the state of the tumblers, and for each of them, either leave it alone or turn it over. When she withdraws her hands, the table rotates and stops at random, at which point, another move can be made. When the task is complete, a bell will ring. Can the goal be achieved? If so, how?

Aftermath: rotating table continued from page 9

Our first reaction was that it may not be possible to finish. After all, since we have no control over where the table stops before each move, one of the wells may escape our attention and its tumbler cannot be reached. However, we soon realized that, while this indeed could occur, we still might be able to arrange to get the other tumblers into the same state. To get on track for this problem, you need to realize that at each move there are two distinguishable possibilities: select two adjacent wells or two diagonally opposite wells. It is straightforward to see that in two moves, it can be arranged that three of the tumblers are in the same state. If this state agrees with that of the fourth, the bell will ring and we are done; otherwise, we know that three have the same state and the fourth has the other state. I will let you take it from here.

Bringing your plants indoors I

t is that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the nights are long and cold. Many of us put our house plants outside for the summer or have purchased annuals to brighten up our containers. If you want to save them for another season, act now to get them inside before frost strikes. Before you decide which plants to bring inside, look at it carefully. If it has not thrived outside, it likely won’t thrive inside. Unless the plant is very valuable or has great sentimental value, do not bring inside. The first thing to do is to bring the plants inside without bringing in a lot of creepy crawlies—that’s the technical for insects. Earwigs love to hide out in the soil of our plants and when they get inside they start looking around. To get rid of soil based pests, put your containers in a larger container of water. This will force the pests to get out. Do not leave the plant in the water for too long as you do not want it to get waterlogged. Then, look at the plant carefully. Spray the leaves with warmish water that contains a little liquid soap or insecticidal soap. Spray the tops and the bottoms of the leaves and the stalks of the plants. If there are cocoons on the plant take them off and wipe the plant off. If you have room, segregate the new arrivals indoors from the plants which have been there all year so if you bring in any pests, the

old plants won’t be impacted. If you think back to the spring, you will remember hardening off your plants by putting them out for a few hours each day until they were ready to be outside full time. The same thing applies now only in reverse. Our homes in the winter are dry. They do not have as much sunlight as your plants are used to so you should bring them in more gradually, for a few hours each day. As the evenings get colder, I tend to bring my plants in for the night and then back outside for some of the day. This prevents them from frost and helps to harden them off for the tough indoor conditions. Many of us like to save our annuals for next year. Geraniums are one plant that often come indoors. You can bring them in by taking cuttings, dipping in rooting hormone and planting them up. While some folks are successful doing this in the fall, many are more successful doing the root cuttings in February when the plant wants to grow. I pot up my geraniums and sit them in a sunny window to grow and bloom all winter. You can also keep them in a cold dark room, only providing a minimum of water and then bringing them into the light in February. Once they start to grow, take your cuttings. If they get too leggy, cut off the long stems and let the new growth flourish. Other annuals such as Coleus,

Sweet Potato Vine and various other trailing plants do well by taking cuttings and putting them in a jar of water. When roots start to appear, pot them up and let them grow on. With some plants, you can take cuttings multiple times over the course of the winter. Bringing your plants indoors is an excellent way to keep your green thumb working all winter long. Be careful about watering and fertilizing your plants. Over the winter many of our houseplants and annuals like a little rest so just provide with enough water to keep them from drying out completely.

Two programs to help you “Love Your Lake” I

n an effort to encourage waterfront property owners to help keep their area lakes and shorelines healthy, the Malcolm Ardoch Lakes Stewardship Committee hosted a special presentation at the Clar-Mill hall in Plevna on September 14. Landowners from seven lakes in and around Plevna attended the event. Barbara King, executive director of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW), headed up the presentation and spoke about two programs that property owners can participate in that focus on creating healthy shorelines. Ross highlighted the importance of property owners taking the initiative to keep their lakes healthy. “While there

are a lot of changes happening to Ontario lakes, there are not a lot of regulations, nor government agencies putting money into monitoring the changes. These days it is up to property owners themselves to take the necessary steps to protect their lakes now and into the future.” The first program she spoke about was the Love Your Lake program, a shoreline evaluation and stewardship program developed by the CSW and the Canadian Wildlife Federation, who work together with lake associations to deliver the program. Participating lakes are assessed on a property-by-property basis and the evaluations are carried out by CSW staff so that landowners are not

Granite Ridge colour house fun On Sept. 5, Granite Ridge Education Centre students and staff enjoyed an afternoon in the sun participating in colour house challenges and a BBQ. Points for their colour houses are earned through participation in theme days and special activities organized throughout the year. The events featured for

the afternoon were: puzzle games to get to know new staff, parachute games, obstacle courses and the very popular water sponge game. The clap challenge led by Ms Robinson was a great way to involve all students in a rousing cheer to end the day. What a great ending to the first week of school.

The lake association also receives a customized report regarding the overall state of the shoreline, which can be used as a guide for future community stewardship programs to be put in place by the Barbara King association.
