An Outstandingly successful food drive and a challenge for the High School next door by Wilma Kenny and Jenna Leslie long parade of costumed children from Loughborough Public School (LPS) trudged through Sydenham last Monday on a special mission. Each carried an item to leave at Southern Frontenac Community Service’s Food bank. Their donations represented the culmination of a two-week campaign organised and administered by two grade eight students, Alexis Flear and Cassi Yeatman. “We were looking for some kind of project to help the community,” said Alexis. One of their teachers suggested the food bank, and the girls went into high gear. They got in touch with Vicki English the food bank coordinator, obtained lists of the food items most needed, passed their enthusiasm
A
along to the school community, and organized the food into boxes as it rolled in. The LPS teachers offered a pizza lunch for the classroom with the most donations. When the piles of boxes and bags threatened to block the main hallway, food bank volunteers came with a truck. The final count was over half a ton of food, with an estimated value of $3,000. “Grade eights usually do special projects,” said Cassi, “but we hadn’t expected such a great response!” “I’ve never seen anything like it this time of year,” said English. As a thank-you, English and her team of volunteers handed out treats from SFCSC to the 350 or so trick-or-treaters who came through the village Monday evening. LPS Vice Principal John Mooney sees a lot of value in giving students leading roles in projects like this one. “We try to teach them how to be become organised and active… not just work horses,” he said, “the best way to learn is by actually doing.” According to Mooney, a part of the curriculum for young students is to learn more about their community. Events like these do just that: they give students the opportunity to have an active role in doing something good and learning a bit more about their own community. “We really want to give students the opportunity to be a part of their community,” he said. According to Mooney, this is certainly not the end of fund raising at LPS and there will be at least one more food drive to take place this year.

Revolt over economic development fizzles before it starts by Jeff Green s the leader of a revolution, North Frontenac Mayor Ron Higgins has turned out to be a little gun shy. At the regular meeting of Frontenac County Council in Sharbot Lake on October 19, Higgins put forward a notice of motion to suspend the hiring process for a new economic development officer for the county, even though the job had been advertised and a short list of candidates had even been selected. The county’s current economic development officer, Anne Marie Young, will be retiring at the end of the year. She recently received the award for Developer of the Year by the Ontario East Economic Development Commission, and just this week she accepted an award in Saskatoon on behalf of the county from the Economic Developers Association of Canada for the #INFrontenac brand that was introduced this past July. Higgins’ notice of motion led to a special meeting to be

called this week, on November 2, to discuss the economic development officer position and the possibility of contracting out the functions of the office instead of hiring a new person. Higgins was not alone in questioning the new position. Earlier in that October 19 meeting, both Deputy Warden Ron Vandewal and Frontenac Islands Councilor Natalie Nossal talked about contracting out economic development in the context of a debate about providing an emergency grant to help the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation (FCFDC). Nossal and Vandewal voted against the grant, not because they do not support the FCFDC, but because they thought it might be better to contract out economic development to the FCFDC, thus providing a boost to the agency and saving the county the need to hire a new person to run the department. Ron Higgins is a former member of the board of directors of the FCFDC, an unpaid position. However, this week, Higgins said in an interview with Elliot Ferguson of the Whig Standard that his “concerns were addressed after talking with [Frontenac County CAO Kelly] Pender and seeing the external job posting for the position.” He also indicated that he probably would support the position when it comes to a vote. CAO Pender prepared a report for that special meeting, and included the job description for the economic development officer. In his report, Pender noted that earlier in her tenure, Anne Marie Young spent as much as 50% of her time working on bringing the K&P Trail project to fruition, and also spent a lot of time supporting sustainability initiatives, including community engagement, following the release of the Directions
for Our Future document. He also said that working on trail development has decreased to 25% of Young’s time in the past 18 months as the project nears completion, and work on sustainability initiatives has decreased with the folding of the county sustainability committee and the transfer of 100% of federal gas tax funds to member municipalities. Focus for the role has shifted to the development and implementation of a new economic charter, working with businesses and local and regional governments on economic development initiatives, and other related tasks. Pender’s report also provided a comparison between the contracting out model and an in-house hire for the position. The comparison came out strongly in favour of the inhouse model in terms of direct oversight and transparency, although it provided no detail to support some of its assertions. For example, Pender’s report said that the contracting model would result in “no direct reporting to the council or the public” and that “grants to individual businesses can be made discretion of the board” of the contracting agency.

Sad but sweet as St. Paul's bids adieu to their young father by Jeff Green ather Giuseppe Gagliano is still a young man as he prepares to take on a large rural ministry, the St. Francis Regional Ministry outside of the City of Sherbrooke in Quebec’s eastern townships. As a 27-year-old Anglican priest, it will be a challenging assignment. However, it will be no more challenging than his first placement as a minister, when he was 24 years old. “Officially, I came to Sydenham as a curate, since I was just out of Divinity School, but although a curate usually serves with an established priest in a larger congregation, I was more or less on my own,” he said from the chapel at St. Paul’s church, on George Street in Sydenham last week. Gagliano was preparing for his final two services at St. Paul’s on Saturday night and Sunday morning. After that he will have some time off to recharge before moving to the eastern townships in the new year. When Fr. Giuseppe arrived in Sydenham in 2013, “The bishop basically said to me, ‘Here are the keys; you go for it.’ I did have a supervisor to advise me, but I don’t think I came here with too many expectations. I was open to whatever I would find. I had never been to Sydenham; it was a completely new experience. What I found was a beautiful church and a welcoming congregation and community, and an active parish. I felt at home right away.” Fr. Giuseppe was new to Sydenham when he arrived, but the area was already known to him. After growing up in Wellington County, he enrolled at Queen’s as an undergraduate, and it was through attending services and joining in activities at St. George’s Anglican Church in Kingston that he realised he had a calling. After graduating from Queen’s with a major in religious studies and a minor
F
in politics, he attended Yale for a master’s in Divinity, and studied for the priesthood at the affiliated Berkeley Divinity College. One of the things he has brought to St. Paul’s in Sydenham has been a contemporary service, which is held on Saturday evenings. “We use different music than the Sunday service - different instrumentation, guitars, piano, drums, as well as a mix of different and more familiar elements to the service, which has made it popular, particularly for some of our young families,” he said. One thing that doesn’t change between the two services is the sermon, however, and the discipline of writing a sermon each week and making it relevant has been one of
the challenges he has had to deal with. “I use a lot of my own references, to politics, Monty Python, Star Wars, reflections on English poetry, anything I can think of to speak the truth to the congregation, and if I am able to speak the truth, the message should work in both the traditional and contemporary services. It really is a matter of trust between us, and while there were some close calls, I have always been able to come up with a sermon each week.” Over his time at St. Paul’s he has developed a rapport with the church community. “My youth was likely an issue for some people at the start, but over time it has become more of a running joke than anything else,” he said.
#INFrontenac brand ambassador program W
hen Frontenac County was defining its brand last year, one of the key insights was that the first group that needed to be the target of a branding campaign were the residents of Frontenac County themselves. Then, after the new brand was launched this summer, the first job of Alison Vandervelde, who was hired in August on a threeyear contract as a field officer for the county’s Economic Development department, was to get out to the key linchpins of the region - local business owners - and convince them to adopt the brand. Starting just after Labour Day, Vander-
He said that when he came to Sydenham he had knowledge, but in time has learned to value wisdom over knowledge. “I also learned that teaching and change must go hand-in-hand, if you are going to change things you have to explain why and be open to revising your plans.” He comes away from his time in Sydenham with more faith than he had before. “Seeing the power of God so deeply in the lives of people, and being invited into people’s lives so deeply is a great privilege.” He said that the greatest joy in his time at St. Paul’s was found in small, intimate gestures that he was privy to. “Sometimes you see really beautiful things that others don’t necessary see: the way people treat each other; the way people treat the church; the way that they are generous without announcing their deeds. These are the lived experiences of ministry.” For their part, the St. Paul’s congregation seem to feel the same way about Fr. Giuseppe. Parishioner Helen Lamb summed it up this way: “Our lives have been forever changed and enriched by this humble, joyful, and extremely intelligent young man who is so passionate about his faith and incredibly sincere in his love and concern for others. We all love him - men, women, young, old - and his presence at St. Paul’s and in the Sydenham community over the last three years has been a gift to everyone who came in contact with him … We shall miss him terribly but will continue to follow his journey in the church from a distance, always cheering him on and blessing him for his time with us.” A farewell potluck was held for Fr. Giuseppe on Sunday afternoon. There wasn’t a dry eye in the church.

velde began contacting businesses, visiting them in the now familiar Frontenac County Smart Car, and adopting them as brand ambassadors. Her goal was to sign up 100 brand ambassadors by the end of 2016. So far she has signed up 35, including four in one day last week. “I don’t know if we will get to 100 by the end of the year, even though there is no lack of businesses that are interested. Now that we are engaged in conversation with so many businesses about how they can use the brand and connect with other businesses, more of my time is taken up,” she said.

Holly Labow of Polished Spa in Ardoch is a new brand ambassador The goal of 100 sign ups was only meant as a way to kick-start the program, and the response from the businesses and from the promotional campaign on the County Facebook feed has already shown Vandervelde that there is an appetite among business owners to develop their own brand as a part of something larger. “A number of businesses are really taking the INFrontenac idea to heart, and are using it in their packaging, on their storefronts, wherever they can,” she said. Among some of the businesses there is also a feeling of solidarity developing.

They are not doing this to promote the In Frontenac brand, but they are businesses that are already working together and want to work together more. They also recognise that the cross-promotion from INFrontenac can only help them,” she said. One of the other immediate impacts of the brand ambassador program has been to the social media profile of Frontenac County. Every new brand ambassador is posted on the Frontenac County Facebook page, and since September 1 that page has increased its profile radically in every category. The number of views for Frontenac County Facebook posts for the three months preceding the brand ambassador
campaign (June 1 to August 31) was 65,000. During the same period the number of engagements (likes, shares, comments, or clicks) was 2543. In September and October, a two-month period (the brand campaign started on September 7), the number of views has jumped

The princesses, unicorns, tigers and ghosts shelled out to monster music and many visited Ms. Fizzle and her Magical Bus.

• In November we are called to take time to remember the courageous women and men who sacrificed their lives on the many battlefields throughout the world and throughout modern time. A most beautiful way to remember and to honour those who made the supreme sacrifice so we can live in freedom is by wearing a poppy. The Annual Royal Canadian Legion 2016 Poppy Campaign began on October 28 with the distribution of poppies throughout the area. A second way to remember those who died is to attend one of the Remembrance Day services in and around our community. For a full schedule of the services, please see page 9. A third way to honour our dead is to purchase and lay a wreath at one of the services. If you or anyone you know would like to purchase and lay a wreath, please contact the RCL branch Poppy chairman at 613-336-9011 before Nov. 9. • The 640 Army Cadets invite you to a roast pork supper this November 9 at the Henderson UCW Hall from 4-7pm. They ask for a free will offering for supper. Want to become an Army Cadet? This is the perfect night to get more information. You can also check out their Facebook page. • Last week’s snow was a great kick-off to some Christmasthemed activities in the community. November 19 sees many talented crafters and artisans displaying their creations at the Lions Christmas Craft Extravaganza. Do not wait for the last minute to come out for this well-anticipated event. Be there when the doors open at 10am! Shop until the door closes at 2pm. • What is Christmas without the Christmas parade? Has your team come up with a theme for this year’s parade, which will take place on December 3? What a great outing for the entire family! • Then in the evening it is time for just Mom and Dad, a group of friends, or the budding artist at the first Lions Paint Night! This is an evening to enjoy a glass of wine or other “spirit” while releasing the artist in you. Come out for an enjoyable evening with friends. Leave with a masterpiece to hang proudly on your wall or give as a gift. Tickets ($45) for this event must be purchased beforehand. Contact Debbie at 613-336- 8502 to reserve your spot in front of the easel! Check out the Land O’ Lakes Lions Facebook page for a

Halloween in Arden
November 3, 2016
by Kent Smith
T
his year the Kennebec Recreation Committee hosted two Halloween events for children in Arden. On October 29, the committee hosted its 16th annual children’s Halloween party at the Kennebec Recreation Centre in Arden. Eerie music filled the hall, while children moved from station to station around the hall enjoying a multitude of Halloween-themed crafts. Fifty-nine souls returned from their visit to the “Wicked Witch Inn”, located deep down in the bowels of the building, where children participated in a spooky scavenger hunt. After lunch, and the costume parade, children received a treat bag. This year’s event attracted youth from Arden; Flinton; Kaladar; Kingston; Mountain Grove; Parham; Sharbot Lake; and Winchester. Then, acting upon a suggestion from Lisa Matson, the committee hosted the inaugural Community Shell-Out on Halloween night itself, Oct. 31. The concept was simple. Provide a safe; fun experience in a central location where the more rural members of the community, and “Trick and Treaters” could hook up. “Trick and Treaters” and community members met at the Kennebec Recreation Centre between the hours of 5 and 7 pm for the exchange of traditional Halloween goodies. A total of nine families, with donations from an additional five families shelled-out to 39 youth, who were accompanied by 31 parents and family members. This year’s event attracted youth from Arden; Kaladar; Mountain Grove; and Sharbot Lake.

food due to financial constraints.” According to the Health Unit’s 2013 statistics, over 8% of households in Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington area live with food insecurity, unsure whether there will be enough food to go around by the end of the week, or unable to serve fresh meat or fruit or vegetables because these things are too hard to get or too expensive. David Townsend of Sout Frontenac Community Services, first of three speakers, compared rural conditions to city living. Rural access to food can be difficult to impossible without transportation: few rural residents have walking access to convenience stores, and there are only three supermarkets in all of South, Central and North Frontenac (Sydenham, Verona and Sharbot Lake.) The two food banks are in Sydenham and Sharbot Lake. One food bank coordinator notes that “hunting season noticeably helps (the food shortages).” Our statistical median income may look reasonable, but Townsend pointed out that it is greatly boosted by the higher incomes of lakeshore residents. Ayla Fenton, president of the National Farm Youth, spoke on behalf of young farmers, many of whom have not had the experience of growing up on farms. While in 1930, 31% of the population farmed, that percentage has dropped to 1.2% today. One problem facing begin-

Students Prepare To Travel To Site Of Battle Of Vimy Ridge By Catherine Reynolds An inconspicuous escarpment in northwest France has captured the imagination of a 16-year-old girl from Canada. “They’re heroes,” Shannon Suffron said quietly, referring to the Canadians who fought for control of the 8km escarpment in World War One. Known as the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the campaign made history when the Canadian Corps scaled a steep barrier separating them from the German Sixth Army. The Canadians captured most of the ridge during the first day of attacks on April 9, 1917. Three days later, they secured their final objective, a fortified knoll located outside the village of Givenchy-enGohelle. It was a pivotal victory in the war. Almost 100 years later, the battle remains a symbol of Canadian national achievement and sacrifice. Prior to battle, the ridge was considered unsurmountable. Awed by her countrymen’s courage and innovation, Suffron is looking forward to seeing history come to life
when she joins a handful of classmates from La Salle Intermediate and Secondary School (LISS) at the battle site in April 2017. Suffron is one of five LISS students from South Frontenac Township travelling to France to honour the achievement of our country’s forefathers at a 100th anniversary memorial service. “I’m very excited,” said the teen in late 2016. “I think it’s a great opportunity to see first hand what I studied at school the year before in Grade 10 History.” Using the topic to complete her final school project, Suffron studied the battle extensively. “It’s known as a big Canadian milestone,” she said. “That was our first step in becoming our own country. Our victory earned the world’s respect.” Aware many of the men who fought in the war were only a few years older than her, the teen paused and said, “I couldn’t imagine people in my grade going to war. Their courage was remarkable.”
Eager to travel overseas for the first time, Suffron noted, “It’s going to be interesting to see how Europeans live and experience their different lifestyle.” After the service, which is expected to be attended by representatives of the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office and British Royal Family, students will have time to visit Paris and see attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and Louvre. LISS is one of three schools from Kingston participating in the trip to France. “To be there exactly 100 years later is pretty spectacular,” said Laura McDowell, trip coordinator for LISS. A History and Geography teacher at the high school for the past 18 years, McDowell confirmed that the Battle of Vimy Ridge is part of the curriculum for Grade 10 History. She will travel with the group to recognize the impact Canadians had on World War One. The Kingston contingent of 49 people is part of a movement of 15,000 Canadians planning to attend the service.

Wolfe Erlichman: A Long Journey Home by Jeff Green
Wolfe Erlichman is a political activist as well as a member of the Bedford and South Frontenac recreation committees, the Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra, Fiddlers and Friends, and the Wintergreen Energy Co-op. He is also a former refugee, who came to Canada as a young child mainly because his father was skilled in the needle trade. For most of his adult life, Erlichman ran a printing company in Toronto, and in the 1990s he bought a house in the country in Bedford Township, near Westport, where, with his wife Connie, he spent just about every weekend year round. They eventually moved there permanently when he retired. Connie developed ALS and he spent a number of years as a caregiver until she died about 12 years ago. By that time Wolfe had already rekindled some of the interest in politics that had been a feature of his life in the 1960s in Toronto. He was one of the founding members of the Bedford Mining Alert (BMA), which was working on changes to the mining act in the interest of landowners in Bedford and beyond. When a protest about a uranium exploration project in North Frontenac sprung up in 2008, Wolfe joined with fellow BMA ac-
tivist, Marilyn Crawford, to provide insight into the Mining Act. Soon after his wife died, Wolfe also joined the beginners’ group of the Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra. A few years later he was fund raising for an orchestra trip to PEI in his local community, and somehow that led to him joining the Bedford Recreation Committee, and then the South Frontenac Committee as well. “Through all of this I have met a lot of people, in Frontenac, Lanark Counties. I found out that there are a lot of interesting people living north of Highway 7,” he recalls. His story has taken its own twists and turns, before and after he arrived in Frontenac County, as we will see, and Erlichman seems to like the idea that small decisions, like joining an orchestra or going to a meeting about renewable energy, can have major consequences in someone’s life. One decision that affected Erlichman's life more than any other was made by his father before he was born. In the late 1930s, Wolfe's father and his young wife were living in Warsaw, Poland, with their extended family. At the time there was a non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia, and Poland was rife with rumours about how it would be split up be-
tween the two. “My father decided it was best to leave. He knew it was not going to be good for Jews in Poland, and since he had been a leftist he felt he would fare better in Russia than in the West. My grandfatherdid not agree. He thought the family should Jews in the Warsau ghetto as they are loaded into trucks to be taken to labour camps.

The Armistice was signed at 5:00 a.m. on 11 November, not 11 a.m. as many believe, and came into effect at 11:00 a.m. Paris time, giving the saying “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”.

Remembrance Day Services Returning To Verona November 11
quarantined on the boat and all ended up in hospital in Quebec City. They then made their way to Toronto instead of Montreal, where Wolfe's father began working for the Schipper Brothers. They lived in rental housing near Kensington Market, and soon bought a house at Bloor and Bathurst. Over time they moved further north, to end up in North York. Wolfe grew up as a Toronto kid in the 1950s, was politically active in the 1960s and was involved in community development in an area
of Toronto known as Trefann Court. He played an inadvertent role in Toronto mayoralty politics when he ran into an acquaintance, John Sewell, on the street one day. Sewell, who was just graduating from law school at the time, asked him what he was doing, and Wolfe said he was working with people at Trefann Court, who were trying to control how their neighbourhood was going to develop in the face of pressures to tear everything down and rebuild from scratch. “I said we could use some
legal advice. Why don't you come down there and talk to some people? He came and he never left.” Sewell made his name as the voice of Trefann Court and that started a political career that culminated in him being elected mayor in 1978. Wolfe Erlichman, now 75, doesn't spend a lot of time looking back. He has never returned to Europe. “I’m a Canadian. I’d rather go to Moncton, or St. Catharines than somewhere else,” he said. ■

The RCMP, OPP, and the armed forces are all laying wreathes, so we are a go.” After the ceremony, a reception will be held at MOM Restaurant. All are welcome to attend. ■

In addition to the equipment, volunteer Fury coaches, players and community volunteers provide six on-ice sessions.

So far, with two on-ice sessions under their belt, both participants and mentors are having a great time getting to know one another and have fun!

They have a real spread, and a turn out with folks coming from Ottawa, Napanee, Enterprise, Kingston, Verona and all over the place- a regular international event. Folks from away wonder what we do here- well, really- we’re busy folks- what don’t we do is more like it for sure! • Don’t forget the Cadets are hosting a fund raising roast pork dinner at the Henderson Hall on Wed. Nov. 9 and it will be yummy, while helping the Cadets better help out in the area and maintain their wonderful programs. We are so proud of the Cadets, their leaders and all their accomplishments to promote leadership and good citizenship. • Also, Remembrance Day is coming up on Friday Nov. 11 and it’s so important to find a nearby service of Remembrance to attend. My dad fought in the Second World War, and returned home to marry his home town sweet heart, and father us children- three baby boomers. He served in Holland and helped with their liberation, and my uncle was killed in Holland dismantling land mines after the war was over. We surely owe a debt of gratitude to those who served and to those who currently work for the ideals and ideas for which our loved ones fought and died. Here I’m thinking of all who locally or globally serve, lead, give, share and “wage modern wars” on waste, pollution, damage and all who promote freedom of speech/expression, equal sharing around the world, development of positive values, and the promotion of good to triumph over evil.

· Free Land in Ompah – Part 2 was held on Sunday, Oct. 30 at the community centre. LeeAnn White had the audience in stitches as she told stories of her earlier working life. She had a variety of jobs, including working at the Trout Lake Hotel and various lodges. She also delivered mail, including delivering a baby in a basket, complete with instructions, that had come from southern Ontario! Marilyn Pierce spoke about how her ancestors came to the area in the early 1900s. She lived in Windsor but spent every summer of her life in Ompah except for one year during the war. When she and Jack retired, there was no doubt where they would live. Then John Inglis spoke about the ‘back to the land’ movement, which is why he came to Ompah. He gave up a well-paying job in Toronto for the freedom from a daily office grind. He needed to build his home but couldn’t afford to buy windows, so made his own. Thus began Lothlorien Woodworking. Following the speakers, the audience divided into small groups to tell their own stories of how they arrived here, lived and what keeps them here. The hall was filled with the buzz and hum of conversation. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know more about members of the community. It was discovered that all valued the peace, tranquility, fresh air and beauty of the area, along with the warm inclusive feelings of community. The next discussion event will be watching a video called “The Land In Between” possibly in November. Then in the spring, “How our waters have been managed” through the 150 years of settlement. · The long tradition of a Hunters Roast Beef Dinner will held on Wed. November 9 from 5 to 7 pm. In the morning of the 9th, folks will get together at the community centre to peel and chop vegetables for the dinner. Bring a peeler and favourite paring knife if you want to join in the work and fun. The more the merrier. · The November Birthday Bash will be Wednesday the 16th. All are welcome.

WILEY, Patricia Lynne May 22, 1946 October 31, 2016 - With sadness we announce the passing of Pat. She will be missed by her children Lisa (Rob) and John (Adrienne), her sister Donna (Desmond) and extended family. Known as “Gramma” to Cole and Charlotte and “Nanna” to Ethan and Mya, she will be greatly missed by her grandchildren. Pre-deceased by her husband Michael. Pat will be remembered as the amazingly caring, kind, generous and loving person that we all knew her as. Following cremation, Pat’s wishes were to have a private family service. The family would like to apologize for not having an open service, however, anyone who knew Pat recognizes that she would not want that and we would like to honour her wishes. Thank you to Goodfellow’s Funeral Home and all of her friends in the community for their enormous support. There are so many people in Sharbot Lake and surrounding areas that made such a difference in Pat’s life. She valued all of those friendships, conversations and laughs. Her children appreciate this and sincerely thank you.
A Promise for You "and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us." Matthew 6: 12

Car vs deer collisions
Central Hastings OPP would like to remind the motoring public to exercise extra caution while travelling area roads and highways this current deer hunting season. During the month of November, 2015, Central Hastings O.P.P responded to 26 deer-related and three other wildlife-related motor vehicle collisions. Watch Out for Wildlife • Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder. If you see wildlife beside the road, slow down and pass carefully as they may bolt suddenly onto the road. • Stay in control of your vehicle and never swerve suddenly to avoid an animal. • Stop as safely as possible. Brake firmly if an animal is standing on or crossing the road and remember if one animal crosses the road others may follow. • Never assume an animal will move out of

Mississippi - continued from page 11 performing the skit “Monk Monotony”. There were door prizes, a 50/50 draw and a lovely luncheon afterwards. • On Oct 27 the Snow Road Music Night was held at the snowmobile club, with about 25 people attending, which, considering the snowy night, was a good attendance. Accompanied by the talented Bruce Barton, 14-year-old Jessica Wedden stepped in to replace Jim McIntyre, who couldn’t make it that night. Jessica, who is a Canadian Folk Music Award nominee, performed quite impressively. I’ve been seeing her since she was nine years old and I see rainbows for her. Frank Morrison also sang his tunes and lyrics with his passionate voice and he did a fantastic job. Well done to both of you. Yves hosted Frank Morrison at his home that night because of the weather – how grand is that. • The next Music Night is Thursday. Nov. 24, 7-9pm with the Jim Dix Trio at the snowmobile club; $12 at the door, $10 advance, children ½ price • Kathy & Jerry hosted Coffee Break Friday morning, with lots of coffee and goodies. Fantastic banana bread, Kathy. • Sympathy to Heather Kirkland and families on the death of her father, Dave Walker. • Our friend Sheila Weeks is at it again – modeling, I mean. She will be in Kingston next week modeling Alia and Tan Jay Clothes. Way to go, Sheila. • Happy Birthday to Raymond Riddell, Linda Russell, Karen Woodman, Stan Sargeant, Ethel Clark, Tracy Hannah, Greg Mumby, Brenda - Barb and my great grandson, oneyear-old Jack Kent. • Don’t forget the Elphin Presbyterian Church’s beef & pork dinner with l the trimmings at the church hall on Sat.

Suspicious vehicle
O
n October 25, the Kaladar detachment of the OPP responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the Village of Tamworth. Between 12:30 and 1:15 pm a few students were having lunch at a park on Wheeler Street in Tamworth. At the intersection of Ottawa and Wheeler Street they observed a beige-coloured van with dark tinted windows. The female passenger was seen apparently taking photographs of the gazebo area where the students were sitting. No contact was made with the students. The vehicle then proceeded towards the Village of Tamworth. The students reported this incident to the school authorities. The occupants of the van are described as: female passenger appeared to have dark hair and wearing large sunglasses. The male driver appeared to have white hair, goatee and large dark sunglasses. Female appeared to be much younger than that of the male. A license plate number was not observed. Police at this time are looking to identify the vehicle and speak with the occupants.

Annual Guatemala Stove Project Fundraising Dance C
ome on out and dance for a great cause! On Saturday, November 18 the Guatemala Stove Project is hosting a fundraising dance featuring talented local music scene stalwarts Under the Covers. This band will have you up on your feet and dancing all night. This annual fundraiser will feature a silent auction of unique items crafted by local artisans or donated by local businesses. The Guatemala Stove Project, a volunteerbased organization is continuing its efforts to raise funds for the construction of masonry cook stoves for impoverished, rural Mayan families. Over 6,000 stoves have been built so far creating a lasting legacy for rural families in the western highlands of Guatemala. Consider that a single stove extends the lives of each family member in a household by 10 – 15 years and reduces the amount of firewood needed by half which helps to preserve the country’s precious forests. The Guatemala Stove Project also supports sustainable-development projects in over a dozen communities and issues micro-loans to indigenous women to start small businesses that will help lift them out of poverty. The Guatemala Stove Project recognizes the importance of education in creating opportunity and hope for the future. It provides scholarships to several students who would otherwise not have this opportunity. You’ve heard about the GSP and maybe you have even made a donation in the past. Now is the time to show your support for

South Frontenac Council - November 1 W by Wilma Kenny
illowbank Subdivision, Inverary Council approved the amount of $3,364 for the required cash-in-lieu of parkland for Phase 1 of this subdivision which is located on Perth Road near Davison Road. Right-of-Way Closure - Storrington. In a close vote, Council agreed to reduce the costs for the sale of a portion of Townshipowned road allowance to Ron Campbell, to match the selling price of a neighbouring piece. Deputy Mayor Sutherland objected, on the grounds that this seemed to amount to a double standard in regard to others who had been charged higher amounts. Sleeth referred to the property as “a worthless strip.” Mayor Vandewal reminded Council that the wording of the policy gives Council the option to reduce costs if deemed reasonable to do so. Fence Viewers Council agreed to appoint the two Township by-law officers as fence viewers. Together with the currently available viewer, Tasha Lloyd, this will provide the three fence viewers needed by the planning department. The remuneration will be increased from $75. to $200. per day, and will include mileage. Sydenham Walking Tour to Go Online Council made a motion to ask the County’s mapping services to develop a digitalized version of the self-guided historical walking tour of Sydenham, which was published several years ago. It could then be placed on the County and Township websites so it will be
readily available to cellphone users. Park Model Trailers Councillor Councilor Revill introduced a motion to to request a report from the Planning Department confirming amendments required to the Zoning By-law to prohibit park model units in the Recreational Resort Commercial Zone. These park model units do not conform in size and construction to the intent of trailers being either transient or seasonal. Financial Policy: Budget Management Since May, the CAO, Treasurer, Public Works Manager and supervisors have been meeting monthly to review year-to-date financials. Council approved a formal policy for continuing this process, with the goal of “addressing the need for flexibility to respond to unforeseen demands or unexpected opportunities, while balancing the need to ensure that budgets are adhered to" Glendower Hall, Front Entrance Council agreed to release $5,000 from the capital budget for the design and engineering of a new accessible front entrance for Glendower Hall, in Bedford. Community Caring: Quietly Effective Commenting on Community Caring’s annual financial report, Council Liaison John McDougall called them “A quiet group that goes about the job with no fuss.” Run by volunteers, the group rents space in the Princess Anne Building from the Township for $2400 a year.

Cost of food is rising, but farm incomes remain unchanged.” Getting fresh produce from a small farm to market can also be a challenge.

Terror on the Trail in Sharbot Lake
L
by Jeff Green
ynette Whan has always decorated the woods around her home for her family at Halloween and she has also always wanted to do something on a community scale. This was the year, and with the help of some of her running friends and the Railway Heritage Society, the idea of a 2 and 5 km walk/run along the K&P trail between Sharbot Lake and Road 38 came to fruition. The set up took much of the afternoon on Sun. Oct. 30 when the run was held. There were coffins that moved; zombies wandering in front of runners; lost souls looking for their loved ones; all things that runners rarely see as they chug along the scenic trail that curls around the west basin of Sharbot Lake. Many of the walkers and runners were dressed for the occasion as well, including a woman in
heels who somehow managed to make it most of the way up the trail, and back, with her daughter running on ahead and calling for her every time she got scared by a moving skeleton or a monkey in the trees. The event attracted a good, younger crowd, who also enjoyed the haunted caboose put on by the heritage museum. At the end of the run, along with water, each participant received a bag of candy, certainly once of the best ever participation prizes in a local run. Prizes were awarded for the fastest runners: Karl Kent (m) and Christine Patterson (f) in the 5 km category, and Riley Merrigan in the 2 km category. Prizes were also awarded for costumes. At the end of the race, it was decided this would be the first annual haunted run.

tus. She described how such a program, which some dismiss as ‘too expensive’ has been proven to actually cut health care and other costs, improve levels of nutrition, education and mental health, and inject cash back into local economies. Participants then divided into discussion groups, to talk about programs and policies that might be developed or expanded to improve food security in local communities. Many ideas were floated, no hard decisions made, but the afternoon succeeded in raising participants’ awareness of some serious close-to-home issues.
TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC THE WINTER WINDS AND RECYCLING With the strong winds so far this fall, please give a bit more thought to how you put out your recycling. Take precautions that what you put in your recycling box STAYS in your recycling box. Loose newspapers will end up kilometers away and empty or light plastics tend to fly out into the ditches and tree lines. Not overfilling your box and crushing your bottles will make them more compact and less likely to take flight. As well, the simple act of putting a rock on top of your newspapers will hold them down. An alternative would be to put your newspapers vertically in the box so the wind can’t catch them or lay flat in a grocery bag then into your box; it holds a lot and they are contained. Please keep the environment and our workers in mind when recycling.

The three bald men of LPS by Jeff Green hings somehow got a little out of hand at Loughborough Public School last Thursday, October 27, and it was all because some of the teachers at the school thought the students might respond to a little incentive during the annual Terry Fox fund raising campaign for cancer research. The teachers said that if the students raised $800 they would all put on a crazy hair day, which they did. But then one of the teachers, Chris Chinook, said he would shave his head if $1,000 were reached. When the total went up to $1,200, more had to be done, so Alan Macdonald decided to join in. When the big day arrived, the students arrived, sat quietly (or as quietly as can BUSINESS CARD SIZE

be reasonably expected under the circumstances) and waited as the teachers sat still and Robyn Lindsay from E-Clips quickly and methodically buzzed off their hair in a matter of a few short minutes. It was pandemonium while the hair buzzing was going on, with the students chanting out the last name of each victim, the noise increasing with the removal of each swath of hair. Then, showing true leadership, school principal, Scott Morency, took the stage. He whispered into Robyn Lindsay’s ear and took his seat. He did not lose all his hair, leaving about 1/8th of an inch, bald enough to bring more cheers and squeals from the crowd. Then, as quickly as it had all started, it was over. The students lined up and exited the gym for lunch in an orderly fashion, then headed back to class after their lunch break and the school returned to normal.

Mazinaw Lake Swim Program The Mazinaw Lake Swim program has been in operation for 43 years. It was started when two local children drowned and the women of the community banded together to start a program that would teach their children how to swim. The program costs approximately $250.00 per student of which the student pays $100.00. The money we raise through registration usually covers the cost of the bus to take the children to Bon Echo Park and not much more. The rest of the money to run the program comes from donations, craft show food sales and grants we apply for. Each year I approach the donors who have helped in the past and I ask if they will once again be able to donate to our program and then I wait, hoping that they will be able to help once again. Every year Hooks Castle have been most generous and this year was no exception; they donated $2,500.00 which went a very long way towards us being to ensure that all children who wish to can join the program. This is a small community and I’m sure the requests are many from people asking for donations. We are most grateful to Hooks Castle for continuing to support a program they believe in. Thank you Mary Kelly, Chairperson Mazinaw Lake Swim Program
