"Free Land" in Ompah in 1877 O
grandmother died at sea but the rest of the family moved to Donaldson then Plevna before finally settling in Ompah. One hundred and one-year-old LeeAnn had many stories to tell of the hard work but also of great fun. Young folk in the area would often walk to Folger to dance the night away then walk back and work all the next day. Marily Seitz often found herself forgetting her note-taking duties as she laughed along with the audience to LeeAnn's humorous tales. Murray Elliott then took over the podium. He was born in Kingston and came home as a baby on the K&P Railroad. He spoke about living in and off the bush. Folks sold beaver pelts, bags of wool, cream and handmade products. They had cows, chickens, pigs, a horse or two and a big garden. Murray echoed LeeAnn's words of the hard work but also the fun of living with a large family in the bush. Barbara Sproule then told of the history of the townships. 1738 saw the construction of Fort Frontenac in Upper Canada. In 1798 Lt. Governor Simcoe authorized a survey, which established lots of 100 or 200 acres. Logging was a big part of the economy. 1865 saw the opening of the first post office in Ompah. Palmerston and South Canonto Township was established in 1868, and two years later

n September 9 the Ompah Community Centre was filled with folks interested in local history. Linda Rush welcomed the crowd. The evening came together because Bruce Moore, Marily Seitz and Linda wanted to have a discussion event (or events) where we could learn more about differing topics. They decided that the history of the settlement of Ompah would be a good topic with which to start. Bruce Moore spoke of the meaning of the name Ompah. In Algonquin it means 'long step' which, while a long walk, was also the shortest portage between the Madawaska River system and the Mississippi River system. It was in this period that the Algonquin began interacting with Europeans who used these two rivers to transport furs to trading posts. As the demand for fur in Europe declined, the demand for timber increased. Then when the timber trade declined the government wanted to settle the land and offered free land to those who would clear twelve (12) acres and stay for a minimum of four (4) years. Linda Rush then introduced LeeAnn White and asked her to tell about her ancestors’ arrival and how they lived. Her great great
Central Frontenac to look at full-time fire chief option
partment goes out on. The final section of the report is about the position of fire chief, whether to maintain the status quo, with Fire Chief Bill Young and Deputy Fire Chief Art Cowdy both putting in 16 hours, or two days a week; to increase Young's hours to a larger part-time position; or in the words of the report, to “hire a fulltime chief.” Gervais said that the status quo option is not advisable because the township is already falling behind in its legislative reporting and other requirements. Option 2, to increase the hours, would not be sufficient, in Gervais' view, partly because, as he said, “The fire chief already works more than 16 hours so that option is already in place and it is not enough. It is my recommendation that the township hire a full-time person.” For comparative purposes, he looked at neighboring townships and found that of nine he looked at, six have full-time fire chiefs; one shares a full-time chief, and only two have part-time chiefs, one of those being Central Frontenac. In Frontenac County, not only does the largest township, South Frontenac, have a full-time chief, but North Frontenac, with half the full-time population of Central Frontenac, also has a full-time chief. Mayor Frances Smith thanked Gervais for his report and said that council will look at the recommendations in the coming weeks or months. Although the report called for a new position to be created, it was silent on how that position should be filled, not saying if the job should be offered to Young or filled through an open hiring process.
by Jeff Green mong the recommendations in phase 1 of an operational review of fire and emergency services in Central Frontenac Township is the creation of a full-time fire chief position. Terry Gervais, formerly of the Napanee Fire Department, made 11 recommendations in the report he delivered to a regular meeting of Central Frontenac Council on Tuesday afternoon (September 13). Of those, a number dealt with health and safety measures, and others with the way the township makes incident reports to the Province of Ontario for every call that the de-

Wayne Murkar and Leonard Emery trying out the two-person saw North Canonto was added to the township. Barbara told of a pair of settlers who arrived in the area in late fall with no home to go to. They built a brush shelter with a dirt floor and stayed for the winter. As Barbara tells the tale, the wife cried for two months. Following the presentations, questions were asked by the audience. Some folks shared stories of the arrival of their ancestors
as well. Leonard Emery set up a log on saw horses and invited folks to try out the twoperson saw to see just how much effort was required to cut timber, the primary source of income before the settlement period. Many folks stayed afterwards to chat, ask questions, share memories and make suggestions for other topics to be explored in the future.
South Frontenac
contempates 2017 budget S
outh Frontenac Treasurer Louise Fragnito initiated Council into the 2017 budget process with a report outlining the direction that staff would like to take in regard to the target numbers.
Because South Frontenac is committed to long-term budgeting, the 2017 numbers will set in motion spending over a long period, up to 25 years. In order to maintain and even increase the level of reserve funds over the next 10 years and continue the aggressive road rehabilitation and upgrade program that the township has undertaken, Fragnito asked that the target of a 2% increase in the impact of the budget on the average ratepayer be increased to 2.2% this year. The change reflects a proposal from the Public Works department for an expensive upgrade to the Sunbury Road, from a surface-treated (tar and chip) road to an asphalt road with a paved shoulder. The upgrade would reflect the amount of use the road receives on a daily basis, and its role as a detour from Highway 401 from time to time. A similar proposal for the Westport Road will be considered for 2018. “The use of these roads has changed since the original long-term roads plan was developed” said Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth, who added that the township has been attempting for a number of years to obtain a grant

to upgrade the Sunbury Road, without success. The proposal, as it currently stands, would be financed through a loan of $11 million, to be paid off over 20 years, with interest pegged at about 2.5% The budget direction that Fragnito was seeking included annual loan payments to cover the additional projects. The direction, which projects budget increases over 25 years, also included a host of projects, including building a new $2.25 million fire hall every three years starting in 2020 until all the township fire halls are replaced. Council had a lot to say about the proposals. “I need more information about how all these numbers fit together,” said Councilor Alan Revill. “We see projections over a long period of time and we will have to then focus on 2017.” Deputy Mayor Ross Sutherland said he was ok with the 2.2% proposal, but wanted to use reserves to finance the new roads projects instead of bank loans. While other members of Council also expressed a need for more explanation of the numbers, Mayor Vandewal knew what he wanted to see: smaller numbers and less spending. “To me this is a wish list: new fire halls,

Professional Engineers of Ontario rejects resident’s complaint against Henry Hogg By Jeff Green
When Addington Highlands reeve, Henry Hogg, voted in favour of a motion supporting the wind turbine contract submissions that RES Canada and NextEra were making under the Large Renewable Procurement process last July, it made a number of Addington Highlands residents unhappy. For Paul Isaacs, one of the most outspoken of those residents, who happens to be a trained engineer, it triggered a further response. Isaacs felt that since Henry Hogg is also a trained engineer he was bound to make sure that any decision he made or position he took on a public matter did not contradict the oath that he had taken when he graduated as a mechanical engineer from the University of Waterloo in 1967. Henry Hogg joined the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) in 1969 and is still a member Isaacs took a similar oath, and although he never joined the Professional Engineers of Ontario himself, he submitted a complaint to the association on September 28. In his complaint he alleged that Hogg “voted to approve the large IWT [Industrial Wind Turbine] project with no study, engineering due diligence, or consultation with his constituents” according to the summary included in the PEO complaints committee notice of decision, which was released to Hogg on July 12 of this year. When contacted this week, Isaacs said he felt that during debates leading up to the vote that council took on the matter, which resulted in Hogg himself breaking a 2-2 tie with his yes vote, Hogg did not indicate that he had done enough research on the implications of the decision, and as an engineer he was duty bound to make use of his expertise. “This is the biggest engineering project in the history of the township. He is most educated person; he is the reeve, and he didn't provide his expertise. That was the essence of my complaint,” he said. When asked whether he knew if Hogg had done any research into the issue, Isaacs said he did not know, but said, “That is part of my point, if he had put pen to paper or provided information in some way, we would have seen it.” In their notice of decision, the complaints committee of the PEO pointed out that “the Ministry of the Environment and climate change possessed the authority to approve the project and engineering analysis for this project was not the responsibility of Hogg. ... Further, while a professional engineer in public office must adhere to the same standards of conduct as a practising engineer, in its investigation the Committee found no evidence of professional misconduct or
breach of the code of ethics on the part of Hogg.” The committee concluded, “There is no evidence on which there is a reasonable prospect of a finding of professional misconduct or incompetence ...”, and the matter was not referred to the Discipline Committee of the PEO. Henry Hogg released a statement on the matter last week, which he read out to a meeting of Addington Highlands Council. In it he said that when informed of the complaint, “I took these charges very seriously and hired legal counsel to defend my actions, which had nothing to do with my position as
a professional engineer.” Hogg also said, “In his submission to the PEO, my legal counsel stated that Mr. Isaacs had defamed me solely as a result of his disagreement with council’s majority decision.” Isaacs told the News that he did not submit his complaint to the PRO because of the way Hogg voted, but because Hogg did not demonstrate he had applied his skills and knowledge as an engineer to the matter, but added, “It would have put me in a moral quandary if he had voted against the motion. Would I have submitted my complaint in that case? I'm not sure.” Henry Hogg said he is not planning to take further action on the matter.
VIA Rail looking at Hwy. 7 corridor Central Frontenac Council – Sept. 13 by Jeff Green
A
t the start of the Central Frontenac Council meeting this week (Tuesday September 13), Mayor Frances Smith presented a document she has received from Jacques Fauteux, Director, government and community relations with VIA rail. The VIA Dedicated Tracks project proposes to use a new, more efficient diesel-electric hybrid fleet to deliver passenger service in the Quebec City to Windsor corridor. An adjunct to that project, according to the document, “includes the Shining Waterways Railway Plan, which aims to provide passenger service from Toronto to Havelock, and its extension all the way to Ottawa, using existing tracks or discontinued railway rights of way.” The service would have many benefits including: local train service to Toronto and Ottawa, shorter trip times than using a car, regional economic development, etc. Basic inspections are to take place on former railway beds and infrastructure that are under consideration for the project in the region over the coming weeks. The former rail line from Havelock to Ottawa is currently part of the Trans-Canada Trail. It follows Highway 7 as it heads from Kaladar to Ottawa, but in Central Frontenac it pushes to the south of the highway at Elm Tree, passes below Big Clear Lake in Arden and over to Mountain Grove, eventually following the southern shore of the west basin of Sharbot Lake at Brewer Road, before passing through the hamlet at the medical center, past the beach and then the township office. Until last year it then went under a bridge at Road 38, but that bridge was removed last year and the trail now passes

over the road as it heads back towards Fall River Road, where it again follows Highway 7 towards Perth.
Building report shows solid year
Chief Building Officer Jeremy Neven presented the yearto-date building permit figures, and the total for the year as of the end of August 2016 is up by $300,000 over 2015. Permits for 14 new homes have been purchased, which Neven described as being comparable to other years in recent times. He said that activity has continued to be brisk into September. When Councilor Cindy Kelsey asked if, as she has seen in her day job at the Arden Post Office, there are many conversions of seasonal cottages to year-round dwellings in the township, Neven said, “Do you think you can get me the names of those people?” On a more serious note, he said that when seasonal cottages become year-round residences, even if there are no renovations done for that purpose, the requirements for air flow and insulation change and a permit should be taken out. “A lot of people aren't aware of this, but they should contact us when they become permanent residents so we can ensure the building is suitable for year-round living,” he said.
Facilities report Neven, in his role as manager of Development Services, reported that work on a number of projects has been proceeding. The new Olden ball field is about to have lights and fencing put in, and the field itself is expected to be completed in time for the 2017 season. The Big Gull Lake boat ramp should be completed this month; a new range hood has been installed at the Kennebec Hall; and shelving has been installed at the Parham library. Work at the Parham fair grounds is expected to be completed this fall as well. Mayor Smith wondered why the range hood for the

RE: CF schools purchase
(Letter to the editor by Wayne Robinson, Sept. 8, 2016.) I am in agreement with Mr. Robinson that the mayor and council care about our community. I also agree they deserve respect, the same respect that we all deserve. However, in my opinion, the problem with the schools still remains. As Mr. Robinson points out in his letter, “We elected these members to council with the intention that they will consider issues in the community and make intelligent, well-informed decisions. I trust the Mayor and her council did exactly that concerning the school properties that they chose to purchase on our behalf for the long-term benefit of this community.” Please Mr. Robinson tell me how this was a well informed decision when: 1) by the mayor’s own admission they did not read the information package for potential purchasers provided by the Limestone District School Board about said properties, and 2) again by the mayor’s admission they did not seek advice from their chief building official prior to purchasing yet waited for his opinion until after the fact when it was very quickly decided Sharbot Lake would have to be torn down. (Possibly Parham as well; I guess we are still waiting for that decision). What am I missing? I have other remaining questions as well but the above two really require clarification. - Kent Labbett

increases, so he wants to stick with that. Nonetheless the majority of Council indicated comfort with Fragnito’s suggested 2.2% increase. SINCE 1970 [Editor’s note – Treasurer Fragnito uses a calculation that includes projected increases in tax assessment due to new construction and overall growth as well as phased-in assessment for existing properties when calculating a 2% or 2.2% increase in the impact of the budget on the average property in the township.
In our reporting of budgets at the Frontenac News, we look only at the total amount of money the township levies to ratepayers. For example, the levy increase we reported for South Frontenac in 2016 was 6.66%, an increase from $15.5 million in 2015 to $16.5 million in 2016. Looking back in time, the total levy in 2010 was $10.3 million, so it has therefore gone up by 60% so far this decade. Looking forward, South Frontenac is on track to increase the levy to about $30 mil-

L
ast year, when a proposal for 150 foot tall wind turbines surrounding Denbigh and Ashby Lake - and more than 30 km. from your house - was received, you were all in favour. You didn't care that the vast majority of residents in the area didn't want these eyesores. Now that a proposal for less than 10 foot high solar panels is near your property, you are concerned that you will see them from the second storey of your house. You, Sir, are a hypocrite! - Robt. B.

e the report by Mr. Bonnetta in the Frontenac News on the Sep 6/16 Addington Highlands (AH) Council meeting. Despite the fact that industrial wind turbine development was not an issue in the last municipal election, un-elected/acclaimed AH Councillor Cox had no problem voting YES on a motion to support placement of giant industrial wind turbines 550 meters from taxpayers' family homes and cottages in the north end of AH, several kilometres and out of sight from his home and against the wishes of over 80% of taxpaying AH constituents. According to this Frontenac News article, he does however have a problem with a small passive solar panel project across the road from his house, because he might be able to see it from his upstairs window.

Condolences to her husband Gary and her children. • The Arden Seniors “Happy Gang” had their annual Hamburg Feast Sept. 9. There was great food with wonderful fellowship. Lorne Hiltz, chair of the gang, presented Audree Tomkins with a picture taken in July, when everyone celebrated Aud’s 90th birthday. Thanks to all the volunteers and members for helping make this year’s event a good one. • The Kennebec Recreation Committee would like to remind everyone about the Kids Klub Walk-a-thon happening today, Thursday Sept. 15 at the Rec Park.

If there are head lice in your children’s school, don’t panic. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent or housekeeper. Those lice don’t fly or jump, they just crawl. To check your child for lice, look for eggs within a quarterinch of the scalp. There are some good products available to control lice. Our pharmacists can help you. Remember, if one member of the family has head lice, check the whole family. It is critical to act within three hours when symptoms of a stroke begin. People under the age of 45 seem to be slow in seeking immediate help. Instead they wait to see if the symptoms improve. Not wise. If you experience weakness, numbness and difficulty speaking or seeing, call 911 right away. Stroke cases have increased in the under 45 age group and is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and smoking. It’s not always an old person’s problem. We are coming into the fall season, and of course coughs and colds and running noses are common symptoms. Just because the colour of the discharge is yellow or green doesn’t necessarily mean you need an antibiotic. This discharge is usually paused by a virus not a bacteria so antibiotics are a waste of money in this case. An antitoxin against diphtheria was first tested back in 1891 but it took another 20 years of research to produce a reliable vaccine to protect children from the disease. lt is still used today. Ensure your children get immunized. Questions on immunization? Our pharmacists will be happy to answer them.

Fishing guides save life of Rochester man By Catherine Reynolds aul Davey and Harold Lake are experienced fishing guides who typically catch fish when they’re on duty. Last Saturday, they also saved a life. Friends for decades, the men started their day like any other: boats, supplies and customers ready for an 8 am start on Loughborough Lake. The sky was blue and the water was calm. It was a perfect day for fishing. But as it happened, it was not just another day on the water. By 3 pm that afternoon, a customer was in cardiac arrest at Loughborough Lake Marina in Battersea. The men quickly scrambled to help the victim, a Rochester man who had collapsed seconds earlier. When they reached him, his vital signs were absent. Taking over almost immediately from the man’s wife, Davey and Lake began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as CPR. The men performed chest compressions and mouthto-mouth for about 10 minutes until help arrived. The fishing guides credit their life-saving medical attention to the training they received to qualify for a commercial fishing guide license. Both men belong to the Storrington

Service dogs for people with non-visible disabilities B
Brittani and Anchor at Tim Hortons. Anchor uses sight, sound and smell to detect any changes in Brittani’s stress levels.

rittani Lawson, a 21-year-old woman from Verona, and her service dog Anchor met me at Tim Hortons recently. Brittani has a medically diagnosed, non-visible disability and her doctors say that she needs a service dog to allow her to live an independent and normal life. She was forced to take control of the supply and training of her service dog when the non-government independent organizations could not meet her needs. Medical professionals recognize the value of trained service dogs for people with non-visible disabilities. The matching of a trained service dog to these individuals can save lives, and helps them lead a normal and independent life. The training, accreditation and supply of these animals is left in private hands, with little or no federal or Ontario Provincial Government guidelines. A service dog team consists of the handler with a medically diagnosed need, and a trained dog. The province of Alberta has come to grips with this need and issues photo ID cards for all individual certified service dog teams. Guidelines for the certification, service dog training, public and business education is available from Assistance Dogs International (ADI), an international not-for-profit organization pooling the resources and experience of many international service dog groups. Ontario does not have to make up the rules. In the same way that we accept the use of dogs to detect explosives, the concealment of narcotics, or buried avalanche survivors, we must learn to accept that service dogs are needed by many people with different non-visible disabilities. The dogs’ heightened sense of smell detects changes in the scent emitted by people with, for example, insulin deficiency from diabetes, or Post Traumatic Stress
By Malcolm Callister
Disorder and can alert them to the onset of a seizure and the need for help. A certified service dog is a well trained, non-aggressive and medically alert animal. Its job is to ensure the safety of its team partner. A service dog is trained with a combination of kindness and rewards for actions. Do not speak to, pat, or feed treats to the dog without the handler’s permission. You will confuse and distract it, and this may have deadly results for the human member of that “service dog team”. When meeting a service dog team, always speak to the handler, not the dog. A few years ago, when it was suggested that a service dog would help Brittani to live a normal independent life, there were no trained dogs available. Brittani and her family purchased a Labrador puppy named Anchor from a good breeder and started an intensive ADI based owner-training program. Brittani performed the many hours of weekly training, with her family providing the taxi service and long waiting times. Not everyone can have this support, and not every medical need lends itself to owner training. Government support is required. Having now passed the test as a service dog team, Anchor wears his official service dog vest. Most businesses accept this, but not all. In Ontario, public and business education is required. A service dog team may be challenged for being where dogs are not allowed. Currently the handler must produce a doctor’s letter to confirm that they need the service dog for personal health reasons. They may also have to argue their rights, and that is wrong. An Ontario photo ID card similar to a driver’s license, as they have in Alberta is required.

ave You Ever …? Cut up a log into firewood with a hand saw? Then split it up with an axe? Harvested a field of grain with a scythe and pitchfork? Carried it wrapped in jute bags sewn to create a large blanket? Chopped fodder for cattle with a hand-held curved blade? Fed and watered livestock from hand-carved wooden troughs? Scrubbed clothes on a metal or glass washboard? Pressed them with irons heated on a wood stove top? This was the life of early settlers. It's hard to imagine that a house could be built of logs, roofed with hand made wooden shingles, boards hand cut and hand planed. Furniture and most necessities started with a tree and were created with function foremost. The Pioneer Museum has an extensive display of various tools and equipment to help visitors relive the early days. Many of them are made of wood. One display item that constantly amazes everyone is a homemade, portable forge that was donated by the family of Cecil and Helen Snider in memory of Cecil's father, Zara James Snider. In the

early 1900s Zara Snider was a blacksmith in the Glenfield-Vennachar area. When the road to Denbigh was being built in the 1930s he diligently built a forge to fit into his wagon, hitched up a team of horses and followed the road building crew. He moved with them, repairing and making metal tools, blades and brackets for their equipment as items wore out and broke down. This might possibly be the first mobile forge.

New service for children with ADHD Aftermath - The Tennis Tournament In a major tennis tournament, you start and Autism opens - submitted by the JDN Center This column by retired mathematician off with 64 players, who compete in pairs in
A
manda Neadow, standing with her sons Jason and Dawson, opened the JDN Center for Children in Perth on Sept. 10. The center will provide ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) Therapy and parent coaching support for children diagnosed with ADHD, Autism and Cognitive Deficit Disorders. Neadow is originally from the Sharbot Lake area.
When her two sons were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Neadow did extensive research “to understand what ADHD was, how to treat it and how to ensure that my boys would be successful”. She did a lot of it on her own. “We used the sources that the school offered, but the majority of sources and support we used was based on our own research,” she explains. “There are many children who have ADHD, ASD and Cognitive Deficits who struggle every day and their parents and caregivers want their children to be happy and healthy,” Neadow says. “So if the JDN Center can help parents start or continue their journey with more resources, and support than my family had; then our job is done.” The center is located at the Elliot Street Medical Clinic, 12 Elliot St. in Perth.

THE FALL WINDS ARE BACK… And they don’t mix very well with paper recycling week so please take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty water bottles tend to gravitate into the ditches and treeline. Not overfilling your box will make the contents more compact and less likely to fly around or the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers flat in a grocery bag then into your recycle bin, it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep our environment in mind when recycling.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT The HHW Depot will be open every Thursday from 3 pm to 8 pm. Please remember accepted items are hazardous materials, electronics and bale wrap only.

Group wants to bring Fermoy hall back to life A
t the top of Fermoy Hill, one of the highest points on the Westport Road overlooking Wolfe Lake, sits the Fermoy Hall, where it has been since it was constructed over 150 years ago. For over a century it served as the hall and office for the Township of Bedford, until the early 1970s. At that time the township purchased the Glendower school, a few kilometres down the road, after it was closed by the Frontenac Board of Education, for a very good price. The school building was larger, had modern conveniences including indoor plumbing, and with little renovation could function as an office and a public hall. Over the next 40 years the Fermoy Hall slowly fell into disuse, and at one point was rented out to the Tom Cat Bat company. The hall was used for a time as a production facility for maple baseball bats produced by the late Tom Roberts of Westport. While not much is left from that usage aside from some racks, the hall does now have a 200 amp electrical service. For the first 10 years of its existence, South Frontenac Township was run on an area rating basis, which effectively gave representatives from former townships like Bedford access to budget money to spend in their new wards based on recommendations by local recreation committees. It was during that time that the Fermoy Hall received a new metal roof; had its aluminium siding replaced by board and batten siding; had new windows put in; and an accessibility ramp built. All of this made the building sound, but inside the building there are some major issues that have curtailed its use. There is a hole in the ceiling; some of the lights don't work; and the floor and walls require attention. None of these issues have curtailed a group of local residents from the north-eastern corner of South Frontenac to begin meeting in the hall to talk about ideas for developing it for community use.

it just makes sense to bring it back to a usable state. In my view once we are looking at lighting and repairs to the ceiling we might as well look at insulating while we are at it, and at ceiling fans. Not everyone is comfortable with an outhouse, so the township might look at port-a-potties in season, like they do at other locations,” she added. Donna Garland is the chair of the Fermoy Hall group, and she has worked with the group on defining the kinds of uses that can be accommodated with limited alterations to the building. “We need to be able to present these possibilities and a reasonable wish list for money to council,” she said at a meeting in August. The group is meeting this week to finalize plans for a presentation to council later in September or in early October.
Fermoy Hall At a preliminary meeting in July, 21 people showed up and talked about what needed to be done, how much would have to be done by contractors and how much by volunteers. They also talked about potential uses for the hall, ranging from public meetings, workshops, yoga classes, musical events the whole range of activities that small halls are used for. Alan Revill and Pat Barr are the councilors on South Frontenac Council who represent the residents of Bedford District. They have both been involved with the local group, providing advice and talking about how the township might become involved. Two other meetings have since taken place, one in August and another on September 1. Last year the township placed $30,000 in the budget to be used for Fermoy Hall. “Although that money was in the budget and we can roll it over to be used later on, council needs to approve any actual use of the money, and they will want to see that the spending is in line and will result in the hall being used,” said Barr, who has attended all but one of the meetings that have been held. The group is preparing to make a presentation to Council with a plan and a wish list for spending to bring the hall back into public use. “At this point they are talking mostly about making it a three-season hall, by repairing the ceiling, putting in new lighting and perhaps a ceiling fan,” she said. The hall is serviced by an outhouse and has no running water, although according to Barr there is a well that was drilled in the 1970s, and the state of repair it’s in could be looked at as well. “It is also, as we all know, a heritage building, and the township has invested money in it already in recent years, so

Central Frontenac - Continued from page 2 Kennebec Hall cost $20,000. “That's a lot of money for a range hood,” she said. “It's a very extensive range hood for a very busy kitchen,” said Clerk-Administrator Cathy MacMunn. “I'll have to go see it then,” said Smith. KPMG to audit for two more years Treasurer Michael McGovern proposed that the firm KPMG have their contract extended for two more years for providing auditing services. At that time the township will be participating in a joint procurement process with Frontenac County and the other three Frontenac townships in the hopes of achieving efficiency and cost savings. Council agreed.
Library addition to Mountain Grove fire hall
Fire Chief Bill Young presented the results of a tender for the construction of a 1,000 square foot addition to the Mountain Grove fire hall to accommodate a new library branch. The lowest bid was from Guy Saumure and Sons for $254,600 plus taxes. The budgeted price for the project was $220,000, including a $32,000 engineering fee, and the township received a $110,000 matching grant from the Government of Canada under the Canada 150 Infrastructure Program to cover the costs. With the engineering added in, the project is now $66,600 over budget.
Fire dispatch returns to Kingston
When the City of Kingston Fire Service increased its price for providing dispatch services to the township's fire department last year, Chief Young recommended shifting to Smiths Falls, who offered to provide the service for $13,500. However, Young has now proposed, and Council accepted, that the township return to Kingston Dispatch, as they have revised their price down to $13,500 to match Smiths Falls.
Signage plan to come forward Councilor Jamie Riddell, representing the Economic Development Committee, said that now that the Frontenac County branding exercise is complete, the committee will be making a proposal for highway signs at all entrances to the township. This will include corridors such as Highway 7, Roads 38 and 509 and the Arden/Tamworth Road, as well as the Henderson, Crow Lake, and Fifth Lake roads. “We have been working well with the County on this project, and the work they have done with the new county brand will dovetail really well with what we are doing,” Riddell said. A report, including costing options, will be presented to Council in time for 2017 budget deliberations.

continued from pg. 11 One way to solve the problem is to work out the number of matches in each round and add them together. But there is a more efficient way to look at the problem. Each match results in a loss for one player, and each player except the champion loses exactly once. Since there are 63 losers, there are 63 matches.
