Contamination confirmed in Kaladar house OAHS brings in mold-busters by Jeff green
F
ive weeks ago Danielle Pollard of Kaladar moved out of the home she has lived in with her young daughter since early in 2014 after finding that mold had developed throughout the upstairs portion of the house. As reported in the Frontenac News on October 23, Ms. Pollard lives in a rent-subsidised house that is administered by Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services (OAHS). The article outlined how Ms. Pollard received an opinion from the KFL&A Public Health Unit, which indicated that all porous materials in the home should be replaced, including the wooden furniture, sofas, etc. At the time that the article was written, the results of an air quality test had not come in yet. A phone message to Cory Smith, of the client services department of OAHS in Peterborough, was not returned before the article was published. Subsequent to the article being posted online, on October 24 an email from Kelly Reynolds, communications co-ordinator at the OAHS head office in Sault St. Marie, came to the News. The email included a statement from Don McBain, executive director of OAHS. It reads, in full: “OAHS has been working in collaboration with Mrs. Pollard and independent contractors to have her concerns regarding mold addressed. A Health Inspector visited the unit and the report was provided to Mrs. Pollard on October 3. This report did not indicate the home was unsafe to live in and indicated specifically which furniture items were to be cleaned with soap and water, removed or replaced. Mold was not reported to have been found on the shell of the unit. Air quality tests were performed and sent to a third-party laboratory for inspection. We anticipate results of this independent Air Quality Report some-
time today. Mrs. Pollard was notified that OAHS would not move forward with remediation until results and recommendations are received. Records do not indicate that the unit had mold issues in the past. OAHS has been active in addressing this complaint and will continue to work with this client to ensure this unit meets all Health and Safety requirements.” When interviewed earlier this week, Don McBain confirmed that the air quality test referred to in the email was received by OAHS on October 27. The test indicated a very high reading for a category of mold called Asp/ Pen (Aspirgillus and Penicillium). The reading inside the building was 60,800 in what is called raw data and 3.24 million spores per cubic metre. It was hard to find online information about what a safe level for Asp/Pen is, but one web site we consulted said the raw count for Asp/Pen should be in the single digits, and another, Inspectapedia, said a reading of 36,000 per cubic metre indicated a “molddamaged building”. This week, Don McBain acknowledged that the mold readings are “very high”. He also said that indications are that the building is not contaminated with mold, and that the cause of the problem is poor ventilation. The health hazards of Asp/Pen, which is a category including a number different varieties of mold, vary from individual to individual. They are allergens which can cause reactions such as sneezing, itching wheezing etc, and they can be more serious for asthma sufferers, and even fatal for those with suppressed immune systems. People working on cleaning up Asp/Pen contamina-

Today’s Oilheat Has No Hidden Fees
A visitor from Nepal P
ema Lama, a practicing Tibetan Buddhist and teacher from Nepal, visited students at local area schools last week. Students at Harrowsmith called the visit nothing short of “awesome”. Pema Lama and his Canadian host, Leslie Myles, visited with grade four and five students at Harrowsmith Public School (HPS) on October 29. The day before they visited students at Loughborough Public School. Myles became acquainted with Pema during her numerous trips to Nepal and last year when she spoke to students at HPS about her trek to the Mount Everest base camp, she promised that she would return this year with a special visitor from Nepal. “The students knew that I would be returning with someone from Nepal and today they finally had a chance to meet him”, Myles said. Pema Lama, who has been studying Buddhism with his great uncle since he was 7 years old as well as with other yoga and meditation masters, engaged the students at HPS. His visit began with an introduction by Myles who spoke of Nepal, a country she became enamoured with years ago. She spoke of the capital city Kathmandu and its bustling population of 1 million people and of the smaller rural villages located high in the mountains, particularly the village of Mugu located near the Tibet border, which Pema Lama calls home. She spoke of the differences of village life compared to life here in Canada and of the many small mountain villages that have no roads, and where animals like yaks, donkeys and sheep share the many walking paths with the local villagers. She described the village farms and how the villagers live off of the produce they grow. There are very few schools, which are located many miles away and students spend often up to four hours a day walking to and from them. Myles told the students, “It is very different there but also very beautiful too”. She then introduced Pema who told the students
by Julie Druker
about his village, how he studied Buddhism in a cave with his great uncle. He explained the meaning of his name: “Pema means lotus flower and Lama translates to mean mother power or mother art.” This was Pema’s first ever visit to Canada and he spoke to the students of his respect for all people and all religions and explained to them how “even though people look different and speak different languages, we are all, in mind and heart, the same.” He took questions from the students, one of whom asked him about the shawl he was wearing. He explained that the shawl is an important part of his practice and it represents the wings that the freedom of his practice brings him. He also stressed the importance the practice places on positive rather than negative thoughts. Following his talk he demonstrated some different yoga exercises, inviting the students to participate, and also later invited the students to join him on the floor to practice meditation. Myles, who is the managing director of the Limestone Learning Foundation, together with Pema Lama has been involved in an international student dialogue called the Nepalese Global Connection, a pen pal program where students from the Limestone District School Board and the Shree Himalaya Primary School located in the Solu Khumbu region of Nepal have been writing letters back and forth. Pema also brought with him letters from the Nepalese students. It was a memorable visit for the Harrowsmith students and for the school principal Valerie Arsenault. Arsenault stressed the importance of bringing visitors like Pema Lama to the school. “Visits like this one from Pema Lama bring the outside world to the students in a way that no technology can. This visit brings the wisdom and experience of other cultures and countries to the students and makes for an especially authentic learning experience.”

North Frontenac says goodbye to IT co-ordinator
E
van Sepa, the IT/911 co-ordinator for North Frontenac who has put the township at the forefront of Global Information Systems (GIS) applications on its website, is leaving this week for a job in York Region. He said that he will be doing the same things that he has been doing in North Frontenac, “except on a larger scale”. That is a bit of an under-statement since York Region has operating and capital budgets that are both over $1 billion and North Frontenac's total annual spending is under $10 million. Before leaving the township this week, Sepa outlined for Council where the township now stands in regards to the goal that he has been working towards on their behalf as IT co-ordinator: open government. In presenting a wide range of municipal information for public consumption, the website is the prime example of that project. The township was the first in Frontenac County to publish all agendas and supporting reports, with a full archive. Frontenac County has an electronic agenda management system in place that is being offered to the townships under contract, but since North Frontenac has their own system that does not require a third party contract to maintain, they have turned down the offer. Similarly, the township's website was re-designed inhouse, in contrast to the $20,000 that South Frontenac spent last year to have their site commercially built. Another aspect to Sepa's work on the website was the embedding of mapping data within the site. This effort was recognised by ESRI, the world's largest GIS mapping company, and was included in a presentation by the company at their annual users conference, which is attended by 15,000 people, in San Diego this year. As well, Sepa launched a raw data initiative for the township. All of the data held by the township is not only available to the public, it is available to be downloaded in usable form by researchers, developers, or anyone with a use for it from
Thank You District 2 Olden for your support!! Jamie Riddell
THANK YOU I would like to thank the electors of Bedford District for their confidence during my short team as councillor in South Frontenac. I look forward to serving you during the next four years. Pat Barr
THANK YOU I would like to thank all who supported me in Loughborough District. I look forward to representing you on South Frontenac Township Council. Mark Schjerning
Thank You Loughborough I would like to thank the voters in Loughborough District of South Frontenac Township for electing me Councillor. It is a privilege and I will work hard to make South Frontenac a vibrant rural community. I will be making regular reports on emerging issues. I hope this will improve community involvement and make council decisions more responsive to community needs. If you would like to receive this report by email or post please contact me: call 613-532-7846 or email rossloughborough(@)gmail.com. Once again, thank you, Ross Sutherland.
the township's raw data site – http://data.nftwp.opendata. arcgis.com/. In his final presentation to Council before leaving, Sepa said that the township “can take pride in being a leader in its open government initiative, as it is far ahead of most small municipalities. These kinds of initiatives have been led, for the most part, by large cities like Toronto and Ottawa.” With Sepa leaving just before a new council is sworn in, township CAO Cheryl Robson said he will not be replaced in the short term. The township will make use of support offered by the Frontenac County IT department and will be exploring ways of working with neighbouring municipalities and the county before deciding how to proceed. Evan Sepa has worked with the County IT department on some of his mapping initiatives, making use of the resources of Frontenacmaps.ca. No solution at Norcan Lake: Public Works Manager Jim Phillips presented a report on a meeting he held with landowners within the ill-fated Norcan Lake subdivision at the north-western corner of the township. The subdivision ran into difficulties when the developer did not live up to his commitment to build a road linking back lots in the subdivision with a commonly owned water access lot. The developer now says he cannot afford to put the road in as planned, and the township has made an alternate pro-

posal, which is cheaper, but in the view of Mr. Phillips, still accomplishes the goals of the residents. Phillips said in his report that after hearing him out, “The group said they would meet again soon to discuss the matter, but several in the group expressed their opinion that the township’s proposal would not be acceptable,” to them for a number of reasons. Faced with this reality, Phillips proposed a motion to Council that puts “the developer on notice with respect to his obligations” and proposes that a mediator be hired to try and iron out the dispute. Council approved the motion. Council balks at air compressor: A proposal to purchase a 5,000 pounds per square inch compressor with ancillary equipment for the fire department, at a cost of $31,000, was deferred until the fire chief is available to explain why it is necessary. Even though the item was budgeted for, Councilor Inglis said his understanding is that a smaller compressor would be suitable and fit with current equipment better. Until now the fire department has used a 2,500 pounds per square inch unit. “I did not think this would be an issue because it was budgeted, but since the fire chief is on vacation for two weeks, we can defer this until the 24th of November when he can explain,” said Cheryl Robson.
Addington Highlands Council -
T
wo complaints from residents came up at Addington Highlands Council this week. Residents living on Dennison Road came to council to complain that the road crews pushed snow onto their lot when clearing their road last winter. “We recognise that since we live on a dead end road, there is a problem, but if there is a build up this year, then we would want the snow to be removed instead of being continually pushed into our property,” one of them said. Public Works Manager Royce Rosenblath said the expense of removing snow instead of pushing it off the road is not something the township normally gets into. Council passed a motion asking Public Works to come up with a proposal for Dennison Road. Beavers: The township received a letter from Timothy Laidler who lives on Addington Road 7, complaining about the effects of constant beaver activity on his road, causing costs to the township for de-clogging and replacing culverts and putting gravel down on the road. “I suggest a new approach” he said, and then proposed that all deciduous trees be removed from within 100 metres of the high water mark of the pond that is near the road. “The deciduous trees should be replaced with planting of coniferous trees, cedar close to the water, spruce further back, pine even further back .. Beavers only live on deciduous species,” Laidler said. He added that beavers end up doing this to their habitat
by Jeff Green
eventually, “eating themselves out of house and home.” “I don’t think we want to get into a program like that,” said Deputy Reeve Bill Cox. “I think we should respond saying we will do our best to control the beavers and leave it at that,” said Councilor Tony Fritsch. County OP causes concern: The draft Lennox and Addington County Official Plan was received by council. “There’s a lot there that I don’t like, such as restricting developments to hamlets; we don’t have serviced hamlets,” said Reeve Hogg, “but I don’t see what we can do.” Council accepted the OP for information purposes only. Move in date for fire hall put back. The move in date for the new Northbrook fire hall is set for December 24, but expectations are that the construction may drag on into the new year.
Correction I
n the October 23 issue the article titled “Celebrating 18 years of ‘dropping in”, it was mistakenly reported that the Adult Rehabilitation Centre program (ARC) in Mountain Grove was closed by the Government of Ontario. In fact it was closed by the former head administration of Community Living-North Frontenac at that time. Also it should be noted that Community Living-North Frontenac is an integral partner in the ongoing operation of the weekly drop in. We apologize for the error.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
to the voters of Barrie Ward, North Frontenac. Wayne Good
to all who supported me in Ward 1. I look forward to representing you on North Frontenac Township Council. Fred Perry
THANK YOU I want to thank the North Frontenac Ward 3 community who returned me decisively to a Council position on October 27. It is an honour to be given the role of helping guide the wellbeing of this area. There are challenges and opportunities coming, and there are some new people to work with on Council in this next four years. I’ll continue to emphasize transparency with the forum at “www.johninglis.net”, and to look for sensible solutions to real problems.
Thank You
Many thanks to my supporters. Congratulations to Ron Vandewal and our new council. - John McEwen

recently received a post card from our M.P. Scott Reid reminding me to honour our veterans by going to a Remembrance Day service. This prompted me to write this letter to remind Mr. Scott and his government not to be hypocrites and to honour our veterans by taking better care of them when they come home wounded because they did their duty and protected us. - Wolfe Erlichman
Citizens, not "stakeholders"
I
n the wake of the election in North Frontenac, I want to congratulate your paper on your excellent coverage of the campaign, and wish the new mayor and councillors well. A word of caution, however, about the notion that municipal government is "a business", and that we, the residents, are its "stakeholders" or "customers". The word "business" implies a commercial venture geared to profit and run for the benefit of private interests – those of its owners or investors. Government, at any level, is a completely different animal. Yes, governing involves money – taxes and fees to finance the services provided – and it certainly requires financial planning and responsibility. But that does not make it a "business." As residents of North Frontenac, of Ontario, and of Canada, we are citizens, with rights and responsibilities, including involvement in the decisions that affect our lives and those of our children and grandchildren. In a democracy, each one of us has an equal voice in how we are governed, regardless of our economic or social status. It is both inaccurate and belittling to reduce our status to that of "customers," "stakeholders," or "taxpayers," all of which are much narrower concepts. The purpose of government is to serve the common good, the public interest. Of course, governments can borrow useful tools and insights from businesses, as indeed they can (and should) from non-commercial sources as well – science, history, faith traditions, the arts, the cycles and lessons of nature itself. But again, they are no more "businesses" than they are scientific endeavours, forms of worship, or works of art. Let us steer clear of narrow and mistaken concepts that restrict our vision and limit our ability to fully engage with our fellow citizens and those we have elected to govern us. - Helen Forsey
Re Judith Evenden

here was a farewell party last week for Reverend Evenden and Eleanor. She leaves behind three closed and sold churches: Harlowe, Flinton and Cloyne, plus a sold manse and a split congregation. It’s a sad legacy, very sad. - Marie White

SINCE 1970
ongratulations to all those civic-minded men and women who chose to run in the recent Municipal Election in Central Frontenac and elsewhere. I applaud you for the time, the effort, and the money you put in to become an elected member of our Municipal government. For those of you who did not win I applaud you anyway for trying to make a difference in your community. Entering politics is not a decision one takes lightly these days. To those who spoiled their ballots or did not make the effort to exercise their franchise in this democratic country I say “Shame on you”. People in other countries like China and Syria are fighting for the right to vote in a democracy and for you to give up that right to vote in my opinion is just plain shameful! It seems that over half the citizens in this area fall into that shameful category. Why is this kind of apathy so pervasive when we need our citizens to care about what is happening here in our own little part of the world? In other words what did our soldiers and warriors die for? Pamela and Marcel Giroux
Re: the sad, bad and ugly
T
he Frontenac News dated Oct 23, 2014 has me seeing red! First I'd like to tell you about gossip – oh, we all do it; it's part of life, but "Do not go about spreading slander among your people" (Lev. 19:16). "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless" (Jas. 1:26). First, I am not sure who in my small town knew about Denis Bedard, and really who cares? No one needed to know about his past. Besides, that Denis received a pardon. But let's talk about the good that Denis does. He helps out in his community. Denis and Rose have helped out many families in Ompah. They run a big bass derby every year. Also twice a year they do the ATV ride for Dad, the Santa clause parade, the kids' party, and the presents for the kids. Denis and Rose are always there doing something for our community. When you walk into the store there is always a pot of coffee on, and a good morning from Denis and Rose. No one really knew except the bus drivers and firefighters. But now everyone knows, thanks to you, Jeff Green! Gossip is so damaging. More damage can be done with the tongue than by any other means. Like our mothers used to say, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!" Thank you. - Janet Duffy

Still from "Honour Your Word" of their way of life, a life rooted in the piece of Boreal Forest they are defending. The film was released this past March, in the midst of many changes at Barriere Lake. There has been a recent Supreme Court ruling supporting the position of the current Band Council in its quest for land and resource rights outside of the context of the government's proposed comprehensive land claims policy. After the one-hour documentary is shown, Martha Steigman, Marylynn Poucaciche and up to three other Barriere Lake community members will be on hand to answer questions and share coffee and food with the audience. The film is being presented by the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation in support of their sister community. Admission is free, and there will be an opportunity to donate to the community of Barriere Lake.

Verona ON Manicures, Pedicures, Sugaring and More.
by Jeff Green artha Steigman, a documentary filmmaker from Halifax, will be presenting her film, Honour Your Word, at the United Church Hall in Sharbot Lake at 2 pm this Sunday (November 9). The title Honour Your Word is taken from a slogan that is used by residents at Barriere Lake, an Algonquin reserve that is one of the poorest in Canada. It asks the Province of Quebec and the Government of Canada to honour a conservation and resource-sharing agreement that was negotiated with them that was negotiated in 1991. The film follows the lives of two young leaders: Marylynn Poucachice, a mother of five, and Norman Matchewan, the soft-spoken son and grandson of traditional chiefs. Both spent their childhoods on the logging blockades their parents set up to win a sustainable development plan protecting their land. Twenty years later, Norman and Marylynn took up the struggle of their youth, to force Canada and Quebec to honour their word. The context for the barricades at Barriere Lake is familiar. The community was in disarray over leadership, and the Province of Quebec decided to move in and impose third party administration, angering both sides in the dispute. Underlying the internal tension and anger over the imposition of governance, is the ever-present disconnect between the Algonquin community's connection to the vast tracts of land surrounding their tiny 59 acre reserve, and the arrangements that had been made between government and logging interests. Director Martha Steigman spent four years shooting this documentary, which challenges stereotypes of “angry Indians.” Honour Your Word juxtaposes starkly contrasting landscapes - the majesty of the bush, a dramatic highway stand-off against a riot squad, and daily life within the confines of the reserve - to reveal the spirit of a people for whom blockading has become an unfortunate part

World Pneumonia Day is on Nov 12. Pneumonia is the #1 killer of children under the age of five worldwide and is responsible for nearly one in five child deaths annually. Over 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world. This is very sad because pneumonia is a treatable illness. The solution is better access to vaccines, improved sanitation, promotion of breastfeeding and frequent hand washing, as well as use of clean cookstoves to reduce indoor pollution. Signing up for organ donation is a good thing. Nearly 80% of those on the transplant list are waiting for a kidney. It costs about $60,000 yearly to maintain someone on hemodialysis. A kidney transplant costs about $23,000 with about $6000 per year for medication. One kidney donation can save approximately $250,000 in healthcare costs over five years. It dramatically increases someone’s quality of life. Have you registered as an organ donor yet? At the end of the flu season, the flu virus seems to disappear. It doesn’t really but doesn’t spread as easily in the spring as in the fall and winter. Also flu shots give some immunity to the flu. Now is the time to improve your immunity to the flu this season. Put get my flu shot on your “to do” list today. Our flu clinics will be on Thursday afternoons Nov. 6, 13, 27, and Friday afternoon Nov. 21. Science is always changing.

Theatre Complete brings awareness of youth poverty to NAEC I by Julie Druker
n a special touring show highlighting the issues of youth poverty and homelessness, members of Theatre Complete captured the hearts and minds of students at the North Addington Education Centre (NAEC) on October 24. Theatre Complete, a theatre focus program that runs out of QECVI in Kingston, invites high school students from Kingston and the surrounding area to come together for one semester of intense theatre study. The program includes a drama in the community segment that has the students choose, research, and create a show centered on a relevant youth topic of their choice. Past productions of Theatre Complete have included the topics of bullying, mental health and addiction, and this year the program's 11 students chose youth poverty as their subject after receiving a special request from the Youth Diversion Organization in Kingston to cover the topic. After intense research, which included interviews with youth who have faced issues of poverty and homelessness, the students presented a show that was based on the real life experiences of the people they interviewed. The show included music and dance and the stories included one girl, who along with her mother faced numerous challenges after their economic situation changed dramatically following the death of their father/husband. Another story tells of a teenager who fathered a child, and faced a number of challenges, including the decision to give the child up. Much of the factual information presented in the show challenged the common myths about youth poverty and demonstrated how youth can easily fall into the clutches of poverty and homelessness. Canada's child poverty rate is 15.1%, four percentage points higher than a 17 country average. Many people are shocked to find out that 50% of homeless youth come from upper and middle class households and have left their homes as a result of unhealthy living situations that often include various forms of abuse and neglect. The fact also that one in five Canadian youths are either homeless or living in poverty is another eye opening statistic, as is the fact that children who experience persistent poverty are at a higher risk of experiencing health problems, developmental delays and behavior disorders. One of the goals of the Theatre Complete program is to demonstrate how theatre can directly impact the world and facilitate discussion about important issues facing youth. Ryan Clement, who heads up the program, said he hopes the show will “make people more aware of the these issues,
while also offering help to those living in these circumstances and encouraging them to share their experience and to seek out the many supports that are available to them. “This is something that can happen to anyone anywhere at any time,” he said. Clement said that given the fact that students who drop out of school are 10 times more likely to end up homeless than those who graduate is one reason that he is also encouraging schools to set up funds for post-secondary schooling to help students secure deposits for tuition and student residence accommodations. “For many students the fact that these deposits are required before their student loans kick in can be a barrier to securing a spot in a post-secondary school program”. Students experiencing homelessness and/or poverty should know that there are numerous resources available to them to assist with accommodations so that they do not have to live on the streets.

For these students to see the production presents an opportunity for them to better understand these issues and to see how they might affect their own particular situation here,” she said.

For Health | For Smiles | For Life 613-389-2999 | admin@mccabefamilydentistry.ca We are pleased to welcome new patients to our practice. Because we love working with patients of all ages, we have made the conscious decision to make the practice family friendly so we invite you to bring your whole family. McCabe Family Dentistry opened its doors in March 2014 in the northwest end of Kingston in the new Empire Court plaza on Gardiners Road. Our convenient location next to the Invista Centre is just a few blocks south of Highway 401, allowing us to easily serve patients hailing from the beautiful townships of Frontenac County. We are a family-friendly, modern dental office that prides itself in using the latest in dental technology to provide the best dental care to our patients. We enjoy working with children and adults alike, so in order to make dental visits fun for the whole family, we have incorporated Netflix into each operatory and a Wii U in the waiting room to be enjoyed by both children and the young at heart. Our team consists of a husband and wife team of two dentists – Drs. Rory and Liz McCabe. Dr. Rory McCabe was born in Stratford, Ontario and raised in Stratford and London, Ontario. He started his path towards dentistry at the University of Western Ontario where he completed his Bachelor of Medical Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology degree in 2005 and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2010. Dr. Liz McCabe grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. She also attended the University of Western Ontario where she completed her Bachelor of Medical Sciences in Physiology and Pharmacology in 2006 and completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2010. Rory and Liz met in dental school and after getting married, they embarked on a new adventure of moving to Kingston and building their own dental practice. Because of our unique position as a family-owned dental practice, we are privileged to be able to get to know each of our patients personally and professionally. We value the opportunity to provide personalized dental care and to treat our patients as humans rather than numbers. You can rest assured that you will be treated respectfully by the same familiar team of smiling faces at our office. By establishing and maintaining an excellent relationship with
our patients, we feel that we can provide dental care that is tailored to the wants and needs of each patient. Both Drs. Rory and Liz McCabe diligently work at providing the most up-to-date dental care.

Bob Taylor visits father’s WWII crash site By Jeff Green
Bob Taylor runs a fresh fruit and vegetable stand in Northbrook during the summer and fall these days, but he has done a lot of other things, and is known for the years during which he was associated with ambulance service in the northern half of Lennox and Addington County. Less well known is his connection to WW2. Bob was born at the end of June in 1943, near the town of Stirling, a long way from the war, but that war had already taken a toll on him. His father, Robert Taylor, died in a plane crash during a training run near Scredington, England, on June 18, 1943, one week before Bob was born Bob was raised by his grandparents, as his mother was working when he was young and eventually re-married. “My grandparents were wonderful and always kind and helpful to me, so I have no complaints about that,” he said. Although he was sent to New Brunswick, where his father's family was from, at about six years old, Bob had already made attachments in Ontario and he soon returned. His grandmother died in 1955, and he stayed with his grandfather through his teenage years. Although he knew of the circumstances of his father's death, it wasn't until last year that he visited Scredington, where the accident took place, to participate in a ceremony in a 13th Century church in which a plaque was dedicated. “It was pretty overwhelming visiting the site, participating in the commemoration, and being treated as if I was royalty the whole time,” he said. As part of the events, there was a flypast of one of the few remaining Lancaster Bombers, the same plane that went down on that June day in 1943. Nine soldiers were in that plane, two more than a normal complement. Flight Sergeant Robert Taylor was the rear gunner with a new crew, and because it was a training mission he was basically along for the ride on the flight but, all crew members participated in training missions. He had survived 50 bombing missions over enemy territory, a rare feat in itself (22743 soldiers died in combat missions flying in Lancaster bombers between 1942 and 1944 and 44% of the fleet ended up going down) He was in training in a plane that was set to be a Pathfinder, planes

Bob Taylor holding a plaque to his father that was presented to him in England. that flew just above treetops and lit up targets for bombing missions. According to his son, because the anti-aircraft guns were trained on the bombers, the chances of survival in a Pathfinder were significantly better. “He likely would have survived the war as a Pathfinder, but that was not to be,” said Bob Taylor. By remaining in contact with his New Brunswick grandparents, uncles and aunts, Taylor learned some details about his father. “My grandfather was renowned as a hard-working man, He built a very successful dairy farm, but my grandmother was much more social. Apparently my father took after his mother. He had a rare skill. He could smell a day’s work and disappear like a Houdini,” he said.

O Valiant Hearts
Only the dead have seen the end of war. ~ Plato
"O Valiant Hearts" is a hymn remembering the fallen of the First World War. The words were taken from a poem by Sir John Stanhope Arkwright (1872–1954), published in 'The Supreme Sacrifice, and other Poems in Time of War (1919). It is sung every year at the Remembrance Day service on Parliament Hill O valiant hearts who to your glory came Through dust of conflict and through battle flame; Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, Your memory hallowed in the land you loved. Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war As who had heard God’s message from afar; All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave, To save mankind—yourselves you scorned to save. Splendid you passed, the great surrender made; Into the light that nevermore shall fade; Deep your contentment in that blest abode, Who wait the last clear trumpet call of God.
Remembrance Reflections 2014 We are challenged to remember and learn from past wars and peacekeeping efforts as we celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11. As a child we remembered our departed veterans, including my uncle who died in the war, by participating in Remembrance services in our public and high school, community, church, and cenotaph sites. It was a special time in that my Dad also served overseas, coming home to create a houseful of baby boomers - born after the end of WWII. On Remembrance Day, we concentrate and remember all the actions of those who served and the ideas and ideals for which they fought and died. We stand in their shoes, realizing that many were so very young - fighting and flying bombers before their 21st birthday. They made the best choices they could at the time and we honour
Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still, Rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill,
by Rev. Jean Brown, Retired
those choices by remembering and using those choices as a spring board to create the kind of world that they fought and died to give us. What does that look like today? To me it looks like a different kind of war - one that promotes or acts upon human rights, respect, building understanding and compassion for others and trying to create a world where children have enough food, medical support, and access to education, and a world that strives for peace. May the memories of the past inspire us all to work for peace in our hearts, our homes and our world. May we promote the peace of evil confronted, injustice exposed and the striving for reconciliation a part of our living. Let us chose non-violence and use the Biblical tools and insights of Jesus Christ to craft peace, to shape communities based on love, understanding and compassion for others.
While in the frailty of our human clay, Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self same way. Still stands His Cross from that dread hour to this, Like some bright star above the dark abyss; Still, through the veil, the Victor’s pitying eyes Look down to bless our lesser Calvaries. These were His servants, in His steps they trod, Following through death the martyred Son of God: Victor, He rose; victorious too shall rise They who have drunk His cup of sacrifice. O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead, Whose cross has bought them and Whose staff has led, In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land Commits her children to Thy gracious hand.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS - Remembrance Day
Bob Taylor - continued from page 8 While he was in England for the ceremony, it brought some of the physical reality of his father's last day home to him, and he even brought a souvenir, of sorts, back to Northbrook. “Someone pulled up a piece of twisted metal from the ground near the crash site. The paint on the bottom was the same as the non-reflective black paint on the bottom of the Lancasters, so it only makes sense that it was from the plane,” he said. The metal is attached to a plaque to his father that Taylor brought home from England. He is currently working on a book and wrote the poem at right about his father's life and death ■
A poem for Remembrance Day By Colleen Steele Dear Mom, he wrote, I’m doing alright I think about you every night I’m sorry I enlisted without your consent To hurt you, Mom was not my intent I wanted to see the world, by air, land or sea I wanted a part in this “Liberty” The training was hard and the days were long But we built up our defense and made us strong The chores that I done back home on our farm
Have helped me & hopefully will keep me from harm But to kill another was so very hard to do You had to shoot or he would have killed you The tanks, bullets and blasts give you such a fright You keep “alert” ears well into the night Try not to worry Mom, though it may be hard to do Just pray that soon peace will bring me back to you Your loving son, Will
An Airman’s Lament - A tribute by J. Robert Taylor to his father Where many a pretty girl I came to know And now there stands a granite monument for all to see It bears my name for all eternity And should you tarry there and per chance to see Please pause for a moment and think of me.
My duty is done, my life is now spent Please listen now to my last lament I’m a Canadian airman, my name is Dent I came here from a land across the sea I came from the land of the true north strong and free I came to defend our freedom from tyranny It is here that I fought and here that I died And now with the Lord I doth abide And now rest forever in the quiet English countryside No more will I gaze upon the shores of the Miramachi Oh how this mystical river, it beckons me From Millerton to the fishing docks at Neguac From ol’ Blackville town down to Tabisintac And on the shimmering waters where the salmon play Lord let me drift on down to Miramachi Bay
I pray we must always remember the reality Of the terrible price of our liberty My life, my love, an infant son I’ll never see Are just part of the things that are lost to me And now I’m free of pain and fears But I have one regret I’ll carry on down through the years That I couldn’t wipe away my mother’s tears No more will I see the evening sunset glow Or walk upon the winter snow I will not feel the cold north wind blow But there is one thing I would have you know That if of any place on earth I’d choose to be It’s “Home Sweet Home” on the Miramachi
In Newcastle town there lies the village square And many an evening I dallied there The movie house, the billiard hall, the soda shop also

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, and also the 120th anniversary of our organization, the Family & Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (formerly the Children’s Aid Society). For this Remembrance Day we decided to do something different - tell the story of one soldier from our area who went to what they called the Great War, and never came back. The result is a series of videos, images and information on Captain Stanley Cunningham, MC of Kingston. We call it “Soldier of the Great War”. Cunningham wasn’t that much different from any of us. He lived on Union Street. He went to Kingston Collegiate and graduated from Queen’s University. He joined the 21st Battalion when the war started and was killed just 75 days before it ended. Today, he rests in a war cemetery in France. And his name is on the Memorial Wall at the Kingston Memorial Centre. This Remembrance Day, join us in remembering his life and his sacrifice. Watch the videos. Share them on social media with your family and friends. Help us bring him home after more than a hundred years by remembering him and all Canada’s war dead.

What’s Up in the Night Sky - November 2014 by Fred Barrett M
other Nature had her way with us and the Star Party at the Maberly Fair Grounds was weathered out. That didn’t stop a few people from Kingston and two from Ottawa from showing up just in case it cleared. No such luck. The rain date on the following weekend suffered the same fate. I ended up eating the unsold snack bar sandwiches all week! I’ll never be able to look a chopped egg sandwich in the eye again. We’ll try for another astronomy night at the fairgrounds in the spring after the snow melts and, of course, I’ll keep you informed. I find the night sky especially beautiful at this time of the year. The nights are crisp and when the clouds stay away, the air is clear and the stars are so sharp. By 7 p.m. the Pleiades star cluster has risen above the eastern horizon with the Hyades cluster not far below it. The Hyades are near the centre of the constellation Taurus, the Bull and the
Sydenham Golden Eagles win KASSAA
- move on to EOSSAA on home turf Nov 7 by Julie Druker
S
ydenham’s senior Golden Eagles football team finished off their regular season with a 6 and 0 winning streak and a final win at the KASSAA (Kingston Area Secondary Schools Athletic Association) double A championships, which took place at Richardson stadium at Queen's University on November 1 and was a stellar team effort. Sydenham shut out the LaSalle Black Knights with a final score of 47-0. Head coach for the senior Golden Eagles, Mike Love, who has been coaching the team since 2006, highlighted some of the more important points of that game. He cited the team’s quarterback Dylan Fisher as a important piece of the team’s win. Fisher threw four touchdown passes, earning himself the MVP trophy, which was presented to him at the end of the game. Running back Brodie Latimer also had a great game and ran the ball for two touchdowns. Love credited the team’s defense led by line backer Mitch Herron for virtually shutting down the Knights’ offense and preventing them from getting a single point on the score board. The Knights came into Saturday’s game with a 6-1 record, having lost their one and only game of the regular season to Sydenham at the annual Bubba Bowl event. Love credited his “great group of players both in offense and defense” for a great regular season and the KASSAA win. For their first EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association) game, the senior Golden Eagles will be taking on the Brockville Collegiate Institute’s Rams on Friday, Nov. 7 in Sydenham at 1 pm. The winner of that game will play the following weekend at the winner’s field. If the Golden Eagles keep it up they may indeed land themselves a spot at the National Capital Bowl, which is scheduled to take place on November 22, with the location to be announced. In other football news the Sydenham Juniors also played at the KASSAA double A finals and lost their game against the LaSalle Black Knights 27-7.
giant orange star Aldebaran, one of the brightest stars in the sky, shines out from within the cluster. It is commonly called the eye of the Bull. Not far behind and an hour or so later in the evening, the magnificent constellation Orion rises up in all its glory in the east. It will be with us for a few months but I find this large constellation breathtaking in early November as it climbs slowly above the horizon. The belt of Orion across its middle, with the sword hanging down from its left side, is spectacular. Within the sword is the beautiful Orion nebula which can be made out by eye and is a wonderful sight through binoculars. We have three meteor showers this month! The first shower is called the Southern Taurids and can be viewed roughly from early September through to late November. They peak on the night of November 5 and 6. The hourly rate, the ZHR (Zenith Hourly Rate), is a modest 10. The next shower is the Northern Taurids which are active from mid October to mid December. Their peak occurs on the night of November 12 - 13. Its ZHR is 15. The radiant for these showers is the constellation Taurus but as I’ve written in previous columns, meteors can be seen in all parts of the sky but they radiate from Taurus and thus the name Taurids. Although the Taurids are modest in number, the meteors are unusually large in size – pebble size versus the dust size that is typical in an average shower. They are slow moving as well (27 Km per second or 65,000 miles per hour) and linger in the sky. This means long lasting fireballs! They are often called Halloween Fireballs! The debris is left behind by the comet Encke and possibly also by a much larger comet that broke up relatively recently – a hundred thousand years ago or so. The reason that the two showers last such a long time is because the debris has been gravitationally stretched out by the planets, especially giant Jupiter. The next shower is the Leonid meteor shower. Its radiant is in Leo and has a ZHR of 20. It’s a pretty good shower and I never miss it. You shouldn’t either! It peaks on the evening of November 17 – 18. I sure hope everyone remembered to set their clocks back one hour on the 2nd! Daylight savings time is over. Winter approaches. On the 6th Mercury is 5 degrees left of Spica in the morning twilight. Mars can be found 1 degree south of the globular cluster M22 in the evening. Messier 22 is in the constellation Sagittarius – the teapot asterism is within that constellation. On the 6th we have The Full Beaver Moon. This is the time to set beaver traps before the lakes and ponds freeze. Also the beavers are active preparing for winter, putting their long johns on and setting aside grub for the snowy months ahead. This Full Moon is also known as the Frosty Moon. For the 14th I offer you a challenge. Jupiter can be made out in the daylight just after sunrise. It is 6 degrees north of the Moon – a fist width and a bit more is about 6 degrees. On the 21st you can view the old crescent Moon in the east. The new Moon appears at sunrise the next day in the west. Try to find Mercury at this time too. It is 2 degrees below the new Moon. Use binoculars. On the 25th, the new crescent Moon is about 8 degrees right of Mars.
Sunrise on the 8th occurs at 6:49 a.m. EST and sunset is at 4:37 p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time). On the 29th, the Sun rises at 7:17 a.m. EST and sets at 4:19 p.m. EST. The days are shortening fast. “The Beginner’s Observing Guide” by Leo Enright is an invaluable companion for adventures in the sky.

Aftermath - The
Journey of Ardeth and Charlotte This column by retired mathematician and seasonal Maberly resident, Edward Barbeau, is for your mathematical amusement. Its author is very happy to correspond with readers about mathematical matters, and hopes that the column will turn out to be a dialogue with readers of the Frontenac News. His email address is barbeau@math.utoronto.ca.
I
t is still the case that the most important thing that elementary pupils can gain from their mathematical instruction is how to deal with ratio and proportion. This includes such topics as rates, prices, interest, conversion of units and fractions. There are a great many jobs for which this is the main mathematical requirement. Yet it is an area that many are not comfortable with. Here is a problem that yields to the right mindset. Ardeth lives in Arden and Charlotte lives in Sharbot Lake. One morning at exactly the same hour, each sets out walking to the town of the other, following exactly the same route in opposite directions. Each woman maintained the same constant speed throughout, although one was slower than the other. They passed each other at noon. Ardeth arrived at Sharbot Lake at 2pm, while Charlotte, being less fleet of foot, did not get to Arden until 4:30 in the afternoon. What time in the morning did they set out? The solution is elsewhere in the paper

St. Pierre, Francis In memory of my dear son Have you ever lost a son, Who meant the world to you, One you loved so very much, And miss him like I do? Have you ever had that heartache, Or felt that awful pain, Shed those sorrowful tears, That drop like falling rain? If you've never had that feeling, I pray you never do, For when you lose a son, You lose a part of you. Miss you so much, Love you always, Mom

Where every day is a day to fish, To fill your heart with every wish. Don't worry, or feel sad for me, I'm fishin' with the Master of the sea. We will miss each other for a while, But you will come and bring your smile. That won't be long you will see. Till we're together you and me. To all of those that think of me, Be happy as I go out to sea. If others wonder why I‘m missin' Just tell 'em I've gone fishin‘ See you in heaven, Your wife of 63 years Mary Aspin

Operation Warm Toes L
and O' Lakes Community Services (LOLCS) in Northbrook will be accepting donations for Operation Warm Toes, a campaign to supply children with warm winter boots. The campaign's committee worked diligently over the past year to raise funds to support 220 children with boots for 2014. However, the registration numbers this year surpassed the budget; 390 children & youth from Amherstview, Napanee and Northbrook have registered for boots. $8000 has been raised so far, and another $2000 is needed to supply the local children and youth with winter boots. To make a donation or drop off new boots, please contact Sue Andrew Allen at LOLCS, 613-336-8934, 12497A Highway 41; or Dana Henry at The Salvation Army 613-354-7633. Charitable receipts will be issued for $25 or more. Thank you to those donors who have supported this program.
Christmas hampers I
n a cooperative effort between the Salvation Army and other social agencies, Christmas food hampers will be made available to individuals and families in need. The distribution effort in Central, North and parts of South Frontenac is coordinated by staff of Northern Frontenac Community Services and community volunteers. Every attempt is made to make a hamper available to those who need one. We will begin taking applications on November 10. If you feel you need a hamper, please call 613-279-3151 between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday to Friday, or come to the NFCS office at 1020 Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake. The deadline for referral is December 3. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Christmas Hamper Program can contact Joyce, 613-279-3151.
Help serve your community W
ould you like to help local kids who have vision or hearing problems? Given the opportunity, wouldn’t you support people who may be blind, deaf, on dialysis or have diabetes? Would you say no to helping raise funds for the Food Bank, the Salvation Army Christmas Hampers, the CNIB or the Summer Swim Program? The Sharbot Lake & District Lions Club has been serving this area for over 63 years. We are presently seeking community-minded people who want to make a difference in their own neighborhood or even half way around the world. Our official motto is simply “We Serve”. What better way to explain our mission? You can learn more about the Lions by attending our Information night on November 18 at 7 p.m. at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. Check us out on Facebook or visit our websites: www.sharbotlions.com or www.lionsclubs.org . Anyone 18 and over can become a Lion. In fact, we have several couples who enjoy Lionism as a rewarding family activity. Yes, we work hard but there is also a social aspect to membership. We enjoy many fun activities with the folks from other Lions clubs, especially those from nearby communities here in Eastern Ontario. Membership in a Lions Club provides people with the opportunity to meet and work with other individuals, striving toward the common goal of helping those in need. We enjoy the camaraderie of the group as we involve ourselves in club activities. The satisfaction gained by being a part of these efforts is one of the big rewards of being a Lion. How do we serve? We are very proud of our “Vision Screening” program. For over 10 years we have been testing the eyesight of local kindergarten and grade one students. In

October we visited the schools in Plevna and Mountain Grove, along with Granite Ridge and St. James Major schools in Sharbot Lake. We use equipment purchased with the monies we have collected through our various fundraising activities. A new piece of gear now allows us to test their hearing as well. And we continue to support a project called “No Child Without”. In this program, we work hand-in-hand with the Medic Alert Association to provide every child in our local schools with the Medic Alert bracelets they may need to keep them safe at school, at home and everywhere in between. We also enjoy working with our senior citizens. In mid-June each year we go to a seniors’ home to barbeque hamburgers and hot dogs for the residents and their families. And each October for the past 38 years we have invited local seniors to spend a wonderful evening of entertainment, prizes and good things to eat. We even provide the buses to bring folks in from all over the district. We are proud to support Adopt-A-Highway, our pavilion at Oso Beach, the Central Frontenac Summer Swim program and the parades at Christmas and Canada Day. Over the years we have purchased equipment for the Medical Centre, the playground at the beach and have provided financial support to the Dog Guides, the Salvation Army, the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Food Bank and many others, including people with specific needs within our own community. We could do none of this without the support of local folks like you! When a Lion asks you to buy a chocolate Easter bunny, a Christmas fruit cake or a raffle ticket on any of our great prizes, your money goes to support all of the above – and more! How can you help? You could add your name to our list of community volunteers or you could become a full-fledged Lion. We are always seeking new members You can email us at: sharbotlakelions@gmail.com or call 613-539-8190 or 613-375-6318. WE SERVE!

Ball and Chain – album release and dance, dance, dance B by Jeff Green
all and Chain is the cheeky band name for the irrepressible singer/songwriter/ guitarist Jody Benjamin and her fiddle player and singer husband, Michael Ball. Ball and Chain mix two great musical loves in their music, country dance music and contemporary Cajun music. They have released four albums containing original tunes sprinkled in with songs by Hank Williams, Webb Pierce and contemporaries like Julie Miller and Steve Earl, as well as an album of Cajun tunes, "Louisiana Love Bug". The sixth release from Ball and Chain "Surrender" is their first to include all original songs. This is how the album is described on the website cdbaby: “Their love of hard core Honky Tonk is evident but here they feature songs with a wide range of styles. There is a love song for the prairie skies of Jody Benjamin's home province of Saskatchewan, a
Aftermath - Ardeth &
Charlotte - continued from pg. 11 The key to solving the problem is to recognize that, when you move at a constant rate, the distance covered is proportional to the time taken. If you move twice as long, you cover twice the distance for example. There are two legs of the journey. The eastern leg between Sharbot Lake and the passing point and the western leg between the passing point and Arden. The time taken for each woman on these legs is proportional to the length of the legs, and therefore the times taken by the women on these legs are proportional to each other. Suppose that T is the length of time in hours between setting out and passing at noon. Charlotte takes T hours to cover the eastern leg and 4 + 1/2 = 9/2 hours to cover the western leg. Ardeth takes 2 hours to cover the eastern leg and T hours to cover the western leg. Therefore T ÷ 9/2 = 2 ÷ T This means that T² = 2 x 9/2 = 9 so that T = 3. Thus each woman set out at 9 o’clock in the morning. Teachers may wish to try this problem on their senior elementary or secondary students. Some of the younger children who have not yet had algebra may have more success with it, because they have little choice but to look at it from first principles. The older students may find algebra a distraction, miss the underlying structure and make the problem much more complicated than it is.
simple classic country waltz, a rockin' murder story song and a couple of Cajun-style fiddle tunes. The title track is a philosophical advice song for control freaks. The instrumentation varies as well. Some songs are simple guitar, fiddle, bass and drums while others feature electric guitar, pedal steel, Wurlitzer, Hammond organ and there's even a jaw harp intro to one of the fiddle tunes. This band always keeps the dancer in mind and their live performances always have full dance floors.” They will be bringing the music from Surrender, and much more to the Agricultural Hall in McDonalds Corners on November 15. Accompanied by their band, the Wreckers, they will conduct Cajun 2 step and waltz lessons starting at 8pm. The band starts up at 9pm. There will be a cash bar to benefit the McDonalds Corners Agricultural Society. Admission is $15.
Rock 'n Roll Toy Drive in Verona (and in Sydenham too) T
by Jeff Green
wo dances are being held to support Christmas toy drives in Frontenac County, one in Verona at the Lions Hall on November 15, and a second in Sydenham at the Sydenham Legion on December 13. All of the proceeds from the events will benefit the Verona Christmas Committee and the Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Relief Committee. Tom Revell, Matt Clow and James Deline of Sydenham have joined forces to put the two events together, and while they will both have the same format, the character of the two communities and different bands will make the events quite different. On November 15, the doors open at 8 pm and there will be items on display at the back of the hall for a silent auction that

will wrap up later in the evening. On stage, three bands will take turns entertaining the audience and filling the dance floor: Bauder Road, the Feral Five, and Ten Cent Hat. As well, some special friends might show up to add to the line up. Tom Revell, who started organizing these events with his Little Betty band mate Matt Clow ten years ago, said that he was taken with the commitment made by 30 or 40 volunteers of the Verona Christmas Committee. “They each have a number of kids to shop for and they need to find out about the kids, their ages and interests and then shop just for them. I hate shopping, so I thought I'd play some guitar instead and the dances started happening,” he said. Last year the Verona dance raised about $3,000 and they hope to do the same again this year. The dance starts at 8 pm; it is a licensed event and tickets are $20, available at Nicole's Gifts and Toppers in Verona. The Sydenham event is still a month off but mark December 13 on your calendars now. The bands that are already booked for that event are Dark Horse, Bauder Road and Still Standing.

On the left is Lion Pam Lemke, in the centre Lion Red Emond, and missing from the picture Lion Phil Barchard, who were instrumental in raising this money by holding the 1st Annual Fun Golf Tournament at Hunters Creek Golf Club. Receiving the cheque is Betty Pearce. The Lions hope to make this event an annual affair and many people are already asking for a spot for next year. The local food bank has had an abundance of calls for help this year and with more money going out than coming in, the LOL Lions helped fill the void. - submitted by Marylin Bolender

Newfoundland warmth entices holiday shoppers H

NAEC students attend Four Winds Festival F
by Julie Druker oliday shoppers looking to get a head start on their purchases were treated to an array of possibilities at the recent craft show that took place at Trinity United Church in Verona on November 1. Close to 30 local crafters had on display their wares, which included bead, stone and crystal jewelry; a variety of knit and woven winter warmies including socks, mittens, hats and scarves; numerous comestibles; candles; Christmas ornaments and decorations; hand-crafted wooden pens and pencils; home-made treats for our four footed friends; massage gift certificates and much more. One table stood out for me – it was laden with cozy and colorful knit booties that their creator, local Verona painter Elaine Farragher, calls Newfoundland thrummed slippers. Typical of Newfoundland they are made from wool and short lengths of un-spun wool fleece. The latter are woven into the knitted stitch, creating a heart-shaped pattern that makes a warm, fleecy inside lining. The slippers are not only unique, they are the perfect footwear for chilly winter days and nights. Farragher started knitting just three years ago. She said she likes to make the slippers when she is “relaxing in front of the TV on those long winter nights”. She jokingly added that making them “satiates her natural inclination to be obsessive compulsive”. The booties are meticulously made and she began knitting them following a trip to Newfoundland. “I saw them there, loved them and came home and found the pattern on a website called Ravelry”, a free website dedicated to knitters and crocheters. It has thousands of different
patterns, including some for thrummed Newfoundland slippers. The slippers cost $40 a pair and Elaine makes them in a number of different colors and sizes for both adults and children. Like a sock, one size can fit many different-sized feet. The slippers take Elaine roughly five hours to make and are a perfect gift. They can also be stuffed with smaller gifts. For those who missed the Verona show and who must have a pair, contact Elaine at 613-374-2052.

likely not have to take place. Therefore, according to Mold Busters, remediation should take one day. They will be disinfecting all surfaces, drapery, and ventilation systems to ensure a complete removal,” he wrote. “As far as preventing future growth, Mold Busters will be providing the unit with an air extractor/dehumidifier.” Once the remediation is done the air will be tested again and if it is declared moldfree the OAHS will consider the matter to have been dealt with. As far as the status of the wood furniture and sofas in the house, which KFL&A Public Health said could not be cleaned, Don McBain said Mold-busters does not take the same view. “They are capable of determining what needs to be done and if they decide things need to be removed they go ahead and do that,” he said. When asked about compensation for Ms. Pollard, who has not been living in her rental house for five weeks and counting, and might be dealing with the loss of furniture and other items, McBain said that those matters will be taken into account. This leaves Danielle Pollard in a bit of a quandary. What should she do if Mold-busters says her furniture can stay but Public Health has condemned it as contaminated. “If Mold-busters says it is safe, should
I put my daughter in her bed, knowing that Public Health says it should be thrown out,” she wonders. When contacted, Matt Doyle from KFL&A Public Health confirmed that in the view of his agency, all porous surfaces, including wood, cannot be decontaminated. As far as the claim by OAHS that he “did not indicate that the house was unsafe to occupy,” Matt Doyle said that does not mean he said the house was safe to occupy, only that he did not comment on that issue since it was outside of the scope of his investigation. Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services owns and operates a number of houses in the Frontenac News readership area. They are available to the entire population on the basis of a needs assessment. Referrals are made through community services agencies, local First Nations and the Métis Association.
