The Flinton Gold Mine

by Jeff Green t is too early to predict either a gold rush or an environmental disaster for the village of Flinton, but Jimmy Sun, President and legal counsel for the Union Glory Gold group of companies, is bullish on the old Addington Mine property.

His company purchased both the surface and subsurface rights to the property, and an adjacent property from Imperial Minerals some years ago, and in a letter to Addington Highlands township staff from earlier this month, he talked about the exploratory activity his company has been carrying out at the property, which is located off Flinton Road (Concession 4, Lot 24, Kaladar).

“We have in the last few years carried out some preliminary work. Last spring some drilling turned up encouraging data and we have since decided to conduct more drilling in an effort to better understand the potential of the property. This drilling should be completed by the end of November,” he said in his letter.

Sun also pointed out that the property was a producing gold mine in the 1930’s. He invited the township to contact him for more information.

Patricia Gray, from the township office, contacted Mr. Sun after meeting with a consultant who was doing a socio-economic study for Union Glory Gold as part of their exploration activities. In addition to contacting Mr. Sun, Gray also spoke with the regional geologist with the Ministry of Mines and Northern Development who said the company is doing some diamond drilling and also doing studies on streams and water in the vicinity of the potential mine site.

“The geologist advised me that the company is complying with requirements at this time,” she said in a report to Council.

Gray also reported that, again according to the geologist, any mining activity is a number

I

of years away and that public consultation will be required if the project proceeds to that stage.

Union Glory Gold has another project in Eastern Ontario that is further along the process of development. It is located near the town of Tudor in the township of Tudor and Cashel, located south and east of Bancroft in Hastings County. The company estimates the Tudor property contains up to $2 billion in gold deposits, according to information that is posted on their website.

Union Glory Gold is based in Toronto and Hong Kong. It lists the Tudor gold project, an iron ore project in Shefferville, Quebec, and the Addington project, on its website.

At their meeting in Denbigh on Monday (November 21) Addington Highlands Council received Patricia Gray’s report on the Flinton gold mine project for information purposes.

(Other items from Addington Highlands Council) Free rental for NAEC formal dances Council agreed to provide the Flinton Recreation Centre free of charge for the Christmas and Spring Formals put on by the North Addington Education Centre Student Council. Joel Hasler and Dave Kerr, staff advisers to the student council, wrote to the township making the request because with decreasing enrollment the increasing cost of DJ’s, the students are having trouble breaking even on the dances.

New CBO/facilities manager/bylaw officer position created As part of an organisational restructuring process, the township will be hiring a full time Chief Building Official who will also have responsibility for bylaw enforcement and will manage township buildings. Until now it has fallen to members of council to oversee buildings such as the former Denbigh schoolhouse and the Land O’Lakes Family Health Team.

3.72% increase in draft County budget

s members of Frontenac County Council sit down this week to consider the 2017 county budget, they will be facing a document that includes an increase of $333,635.60 in the amount of money to be levied to ratepayers for county programs in 2017.

As Chief Administrative Officer Kelly Pender said in the report accompanying the budget document, staff worked towards building a budget that kept the increase to within the 1.5% inflation rate for 2016, but found it difficult given a number of factors.

One that he mentioned in particular was a $111,000 increase in the base budget for Frontenac Paramedic Services.

“This increase results from salary and benefit costs,” he said, “the additional reserve transfer re the [new] stretchers and the ongoing phase in of the Wolfe Island enhancement.”

The $111,000 cost is being brought into the levy over three years to mitigate its impact.

Still, there are other projects that, if left in the budget would result in an increase approaching 5%.

In presenting the budget to Council, staff

recommended a series of changes to bring it back to the 3.72% level.

The budget includes a $35,000 one time grant to the Frontenac CFDC for operational purposes.

After a budget session this week, changes

will be incorporated into the final version, which is set for approval at the December meeting.

Also, at the meeting Frances Smith will be stepping down as Warden to be replaced by Ron Vandewal.

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole

Rural Homelessness

D

avid Townsend of Southern Frontenac Community Services (SFCS) and Louise Moody of Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS) gave a presentation on rural homelessness in South, Central and North Frontenac. They emphasized the difference between city homelessness, which is often visible, and the rural version, which is much less noticeable, with people often subsisting in out-of-the way unserviced or poorly serviced accommodations, or ‘couch surfing’ with acquaintances. In rural areas, making it possible for people to remain in their ‘community of choice’ is essential.

by Wilma Kenny

Addictions and Mental Health, NFCS and SFCS have formed a collaborative approach to working with the homeless and those at risk throughout the County. Last May, over 50 community members and service providers met at a rural summit in Sharbot Lake.

They chose to pursue expanding housing options in rural areas by working with local landlords, investigating what has worked well in other places, such as shared housing, and mini housing projects, and agreed to improve communication through forming a

Guilty pleas in B&E, disqualified driving cases

C

orey Keller, 28, from Odessa, pleaded guilty to a charge of Breaking and Entering a property on Mountain Road in North Frontenac. On April 11, Keller, a man named Joseph Anderson and a third man, were found by a witness after having broken two padlocks and entering 1076 Mountain Road. They were about to take some tools that were near the front door of the property when the witness saw them, so they left empty handed. They left cigarette butts behind and when police arrived after being called by the witness, they tested the DNA on the cigarettes Mr. Keller, and another man, Joseph Anderson, were a match. Keller, already serving six months on a separate conviction, pleaded guilty in light of the dna evidence. The Crown sought 6-9 months, noting a message should be sent about Break and Enters in Cottage Country, but Mr. Keller’s lawyer said that if this

always love that line from the tv show where a family stands in order in front of a goofy host and tries to fill in a statement such as “Pasta is to spaghetti as pie is to ___?

They give their answer and the hosts says, ... “and the survey says ...”

I wonder who took that survey, where those hundred people came from. Imagine you are walking down the street and someone accosts you, asking what you think about the relationship between spaghetti, pasta, and pie. Do you run?

Do you wave our hands in front of your face and cover your eyes? Or do you pause and think, should I say pumpkin?

Coconut cream? Apple or cherry?

Frontenac County and South Frontenac Township's Recreation Department both conducted surveys this year, and North Frontenac Community Services is undertaking one this month.

The similarities and differences in these surveys are interesting, as are the results.

The South Frontenac Survey was undertaken this spring and summer. 697 surveys were filled in. With a population of 18,000 or so, that represents about 4% of the population, but some of those responses could represent entire families.

It also represents those residents in South Frontenac who use Recreation facilities or participate in local recreation. In a township where much of the population is located close to large recreation facilities in Kingston, the 697 responses were seen by township staff and council as a solid result.

When the survey was presented to Council this fall, it was

Day

Commentary taken as a bit of a wish list, particularly the question about what kinds of facilities people would like to see built. But as the Recreation Department, which has only 1 full time employee, develops a 5 year plan it is good to know what people are interested in seeing come about.

Some of the responses will not be relevent to that plan.

When asked what people would like to see if “money were no object” almost a third of the respondants, 191, had a swimming pool as their first choice. Council is not running out and building a pool, particularly when almost everyone in the township lives in walking or bicycle range to a lake.

However, the fact that about half the respondents use the library system and half use the arena (the two are not mutually exclusive) is important to know, and the detail in the survey results about cycling opportunities is relevant to the township's cycling strategy moving forward. The survey was done in-house, at a low cost.

Frontenac County had a more difficult task when conducting a survey this fall. While people know what a park is, they don't really know what Frontenac County does. It is not that surprising then, that even drawing from a larger population (27,000) in the end 274 individuals completed the recent Frontenac County Survey. And given the lack of profile of many Frontenac County services, an average of 220 responses were entered for each question. To demonstrate the problem that the county faces, of those who responded to the survey, who are essentially the most engage 0.8% of the county population, only 179 said they were “somewhat

conviction had been paired with his most recent conviction, it would not have added that much to the sentence. Judge Griffen agreed and sentenced Keller to 30 days, to be added to his current stay in custody.

Levi Gray, 36, pleaded guilty to two charges of driving while prohibited. He was seen by OPP Constable Lefaivre at Ram’s Esso in Sharbot Lake on June 30th. Lefaivre waited for him to enter the vehicle and begin driving. Knowing he had a prohibition, Lefaivre stopped him shortly afterwards.

Mr. Gray will be sentenced on January 16. The range of 6-9 months in custody was mentioned by the Crown as a likely outcome.

or very familiar with the “services, programs and operations of Frontenac County”. 97 were “somewhat unfamiliar,” “very unfamiliar”, or “knew nothing at all” about county operations.

Over 60% of respondents were somewhat or very satisfied with the land ambulance service, which is county run, and over 65% felt that way about the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (which is run by an independent board that has county and city representation).

The level of satisfaction for Fairmount Home, the county run long term care facility, seems low, at first glance. Only 28% of respondents said they were somewhat or very satisfied with the service at Fairmount, but this does not really reflect dissatisfaction. Only 8% of respondents were somewhat or very dissatisfied. The bulk of respondents either did not know (48%) or had no opinion (14%).

Fairmount regularly surveys its own clientele and their families as part of its operating procedures.

The County survey also asked if residents would like to see it take the lead on a number of fronts: social services, economic development, planning, transportation, etc, and the most common response was that the county should work with partners to improve service in these areas.

While County CAO Kelly Pender said the survey will provide a baseline of information for future efforts in a low key presentation of its results at council last week, care should be taken not to use any of the data that was collected to justify new initiatives or spending.

Aside from any statistical significance of a survey that reaches less than 1% of the population, the low real numbers make the survey open to distortions of many kinds. If, for example, all of the members of council, CAO’s, treasurers and Public Works Managers from the townships and county filled in the survey, that would be almost 50 people. That would mean that people intimately involved with delivering all the services would have a large impact on the results. The number of responses was so low that any group that is overrepresented in the survey would have an over-sized impact.

Perhaps the most important messages from the county survey are the low overall response rate and the fact that those who did fill out the survey left almost a 1/4 of the questions blank.

Re – SF budget

H

aving read the front page of the Frontenac News dated Nov 17th I am wondering where common sense has gone with South Frontenac council?

An increase of 2.2% every year for 10 years is above the cost of living for Ontario & above any income increase we may get in our household & a lot of others for the next ten years.

At the moment property taxes are based on the value of the property set by MPAC therefore the higher the value of the property the higher the tax bill. The higher valued properties are already paying more for roads & services etc. than a lesser value property & you want to increase it even more?

I am at a loss for words as to why the council thinks that a higher valued property produces more garbage than a lower value property.

At the moment I am paying for 8 bags of garbage a month, I only need 1 bag a month

rural poverty coalition.

Townsend emphasized that they were not asking Council for concrete assistance other than their awareness and interest in rural housing needs.

He and Moody were warmly thanked for their work.

SFCSC Relocation has Cost Overrun Townsend remained as a second delegate concerning the issue of the unexpectedly high cost of relocating all of SFCSC’s services to the Grace Centre. The purpose of the move is to make service provision more efficient and to realize annual savings of 22,000 in rent, utilities, etc. Establishing two portables to accommodate the food bank and the George Street offices has cost $60,000 more than budgeted (the first time, Townsend noted, that he has not brought a project in on budget.) So far, SFCSC has come up with $40,000; Townsend asked Council if they would consider a one-time grant of $25,000 to the agency. Mayor Vandewal said that the budget was not yet set, and they would include this request in their discussions.

as I recycle & SINCE 1970 subsidizing the to other households who do not recycle Surely a fairer system would be to scrap the garbage bag tag system from the waste management fees on the property taxes & have each householder purchase their bag tags as needed from the township or other convenient locations.

This system would encourage recycling as well as saving money for households who do recycle or are away for any length of time, i.e.vacations, snowbirds, illness etc.

Another system would be to charge garbage fees based on the number of people in the household which would more fairly reflect on the amount of garbage being produce rather than the cost of the property.

I am hoping council will come to its senses & take my concerns into account & not pass this budget.

front structures. Peck emphasized that these residents merely want “the ability to use and maintain what they currently have.”

He presented arguments for addressing what he called the “grey area’ between derelict waterfront structures and those damaged or destroyed by an ‘act of God’.

“We have lots of common ground: can we work together on this? We don’t want to be adversarial. (by going to the OMB) for we only end up paying your legal fees and our own: could we open that door again?”

Council had no questions for him, but later said that since this was before the OMB, it should be discussed in a closed session, perhaps prior to the Dec 6 Council meeting.

Applewood Parkland Fee Planner Lindsay Mills brought the recommendation that Council accept the $30,000 cash in lieu of parkland offered by the developer of the 21-unit Applewood condominium project in Storrington district. The owner has based his proposal on a land value of $600,000.

When questioned by Council about how the value was determined, Mills was unsure how or whether the property had been appraised.

eff Green, in his "About that elephant" delineates his view from the left corner of his left eye in the November 17, 2016 issue of the Frontenac News. As a loyal and dedicated member of the main stream libbie movement, his statements me, specifically, ..."my feelings of unease are settling into a sense of dread."

Interesting. Why is he so afraid of a man who will be tough on crime, illegal alien criminals, unvetted moslems, and mayoral proclaimed illegal "sanctuary cities" that are magnets to the afore mentioned groups?

I wonder where his sense of dread was when the POTUS enabled the Iranian islamofascists to acquire ICBM nuclear warheads, or when the same pseudo leader released over 8000 felons in an amnesty program which has seen the typical recidivist actions of these thugs.

CAO Wayne Orr said he thought the township lawyer had referred to an appraisal, and agreed to look into the question. Mayor Vandewal said council needed a policy about appraisals from both sides in situations like this.

Who Owns Lane off Bellrock Road?

A request that the Township accept a lane at 4725 Bellrock Road (Hamilton) has opened up the question of who owns the 400 foot lane: originally it belonged to the county, but there appears to be no record of it having been transferred to South Frontenac at amalgamation. The Public Works Manager, who was unable to be at tonight’s meeting, will be asked to look into this.

Staff Budget Report Treasurer Fragnito brought a summary of changes to the 2017 draft budget. Currently, after the cuts recommended at the last budget meeting, the Township has is $52,475 below the target of a 2.2% taxation increase.

This leaves them with the options of adjusting the taxation impact downward, or adding in some items such as a $35,000 grant request from the Frontenac CFDC, which may or may not be covered by the Frontenac

Where was his sense of dread when moslem terrorist attacks murdering innocent men, women and children started to occur a few years ago in the USA. Where was his dread when "Shillary" ran for the office and campaigned on increasing debt another 1.3 trillion, banning firearms from law abiding people who routinely use them for self defence, and continuing on the same path of destruction the current POTUS set for the USA? Where was his dread that her complicity in the Benghazi murders, and her many other scandals labelled her as unfit to be the leader of the greatest nation in the whole world?

It may be trite to say the least, but I wonder if Mr. Green attended the silly snowflake protest in Toronto to decry the election of Donald who the US people chose over the inane and insane policies of "Shillary" Clinton.

County budget/ Mayor Vandewal commented, “This looks a lot better than it did in the Frontenac News.”

There was some discussion in favour of SFCSC’s request for one-time funding assistance, in view of their track record of service to the community.

Ranked Balloting for 2018 Elections??!

Although recent amendments to the Municipal Elections Act now offer municipalities the option of introducing ranked balloting, CAO Orr brought a report to Council recommending that they maintain the existing First Past the Post system for the 2018 elections.

He suggested Council might wish to request a report back to Council in 2019, based on the experiences of municipalities that used it. (to date no Canadian municipal, provincial or federal election uses ranked balloting, so there is no opportunity to learn from others.)

Council showed no interest in becoming famous as pioneers in this field. Councillor Barr summed it up: “we already have too few people voting in our elections: we don’t want to make it even more complicated than it is

During the long Canadian winters with their low levels of sunshine, how much sun exposure is needed to get adequate amounts of vitamin D? The answer is 45 minute per week. If you feel you don’t get that, supplements are readily available to make up the difference.

If you are traveling during the coming holiday season, be sure to bring enough of all your medications with you. Although you may be able to buy some of them where you are visiting, it is difficult to be sure if they are exactly the same. Names of drugs may be similar but the actual drug could be totally different.

It was in 1957 that the first hormonal contraceptive was approved in the U.S. The brand was Enovid and had a whopping 10mg of estrogen, many times larger than the amounts in today’s birth control pills.

At that time it was prescribed for menstrual disorders but in 1960 it was given approval as an oral contraceptive. It had many side effects but it did pave the way to the low-dose products of today.

Central Frontenac Council report

Massive insurance savings through joint RFP

by Jeff Green entral Frontenac has cut its insurance cost by 2/3rds through a joint request for proposal for insurance services that was undertaken by the four Frontenac Townships and Frontenac County, with the help of a consultant. Insurance companies were asked to quote on providing a single policy to cover all 5 entities, and to quote in each individually.

In the end, by choosing the lowest individual offers, each of the townships and the county have realised savings. But none as much as Central Frontenac. Aon Insurance offered to provide “as good or better coverage than we had in the past” said Treasurer Michael McGovern, “at a greatly reduced price.”

Council agreed to sign a three year contract, to cover 2017 and 2019 with Aon at a price of $129,628 each year. In 2016 the township paid over $300,000 for insurance.

“The savings are about $175,000 this year, and when I saw the numbers I looked over the policy very carefully to make sure I wasn’t missing anything,” said McGovern.

He said he also received assurances from the consultants, Cameron and Associates, that the policy was sound.

Money to be set aside for Arena Floor - Council decided to follow the advice of the Frontenac Arena Board and will set aside $50,000 to go towards a new floor when the time comes to replace the 40 year old floor at the arena.

Councilor Brent Cameron, who is on the Board, said that

C

the “floor does not need to be replaced this year, or next year or even the year after, but it will need to be replaced, and it could cost up to $700,000.”

The arena supervisor will be proposing that the board do an in-depth analysis of the floor as part of the 2017 budget to determine how long it will last and how much it will cost to replace.

Holiday closure – The township office will be closed on Friday, December 23rd at 4:30 and will not re-open until Tuesday, January 3 at 8:30 am.

New approval process for waste sites -Interim Public Works Manager Mike Richardson, encouraged the township to employ Golder and Associates to complete some site plan work on the Olden Waste site in order for the site to comply with a new approval process. In place of the Certificate of Approval Process that has been in place for years, a new process, the Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) process. Richardson said that making the change is voluntary for now, but will be mandatory soon. Council agreed and Golder will begin working next month with the expectation of completing the new approval process by February.

Engineering work for 4th Depot Lake Road Culvert Replacement Council has contracted with Greer Galloway to the tune of $8995 to engineer and administer of a large culvert replacement on 4th Depot Lake Road.

Canada 150 Bill Bowick, and his sidekicks Rose Marie Bowick and Ray Fletcher brought an update about the activities of the Canada 150 committee. Bowick said that plans were proceeding for events throughout the centennial year, starting with a New Year’s Eve Dance in Sharbot Lake and a New Year’s Day levee Mayor Smith and Bill Bowick with in Arden. Other events Canada 150 T-shirt that are planned include a heritage costume dance, a writing project by the United Church Women, a sharing circle by the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation, and special events at the Frontenac Heritage Festival in February, Canada Day, and at the Parham Fair in August.

Murder Mystery DinnerDecember 3

“An auto-parts heiress, married to a Russian yogi/ naturopathic doctor, is turning Kingston Penitentiary into a tourist attraction.

Is this an investment opportunity to die for?”

So goes the story line for the upcoming Murder Mystery Dinner happening on Saturday evening, December 3, at the Grace Centre, 4295 Stage Coach Road, in Sydenham.

Local charity Southern Frontenac Community Services (SFCS) is teaming up with Mr. Spot Mysteries to offer a fun-filled evening in Sydenham, where armchair sleuths can test their crime-solving skills in this hilarious production, while enjoying a lovely meal and the company of others.

Tickets for the Murder Mystery Dinner are $50 each, which includes not only the entertainment, but a sit-down, three course meal, with soup or salad, main course, one drink (beer/ wine/ soft drink), dessert, coffee/ tea, and dessert. A licensed cash bar will also be available.

Andy Mills is organizing the event on behalf of SFCSC. “Our meal will be prepared by our own cook, Josey Cadieux, and her team of volunteers,” he said. “We have this beautiful space, and we want to share it with our community quite simply by hosting events such as this. We also hope that we will meet some new guests who are not familiar with our charity, and will want to get to know us in the future.”

Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased online through the organization’s website: www.sfcsc.ca, as well as in person (cash or cheque) at their office at 4419 George Street in Sydenham.

For more information, visit: www.sfcsc.ca or contact Andy Mills at 613-376-6477, ext. 205.

Where does all that money go?

At the Festival of Trees that’s held each year in early December, there is a lot of money collected, so where does it go? Who get’s it.

What do they do with it? Who are they? And well you may ask.

The “they" are volunteers and the "Festival" is the event held each year to earn money to give back again to the community. What’s this? Yes the money goes back to the various villages in the area to buy flowers to make the villages beautiful each year, and the name of the group of volunteers who arrange all this is "Villages Beautifull". The group keeps only enough money over from year to year to fund the next Festival. All of the rest of the money is given out to the volunteers of the villages each year to buy flowers and containers and sometimes trees.

The Festival is coming soon.

Christmas Hamper Program

In a cooperative effort between the Salvation Army and other agencies, Christmas Food hampers will be made available to individuals and families in need.

Nativities 2.30 W

hen Jean Freeman started up 101 Nativities at the Cole Lake Free Methodist Church in 2010 she wanted to gather up as many nativity scenes as she could, from her own collection and those of friends, neighbours, and other parishioners from her church and other churches around the region.

Putting them all together into a display for public viewing in mid-November was her way of kicking off the Christmas season by focusing in on the most intimate aspect of the tradition, the birth of Jesus Christ.

“Before all of the commercial sales and everything else gets underway we thought this display of 101 Nativities, which was just a number we hoped to get to at the time, would set a bit of a mood for the season.”

Pretty quickly, it worked.

“Some children come here on opening night all dressed up. It’s an event they look forward to all year,” she said on Saturday afternoon (November 19) as the show was ending its second day this year.

Freeman is joined by Kristine Caird along with a number of other volunteers in organising the show every year. This year there were 230 Nativity scenes laid out on tables

PAGE 11

by Jeff Green and on a newly constructed display featuring 10 foot long recently milled rustic shelving that was made by a relative to help set off the scenes.

“We spend a lot of time in the couple of days before the show moving the different Nativities around so they look just right, and everyone works at it. Each morning I find it has changed because someone has had an idea and has moved things around, which is all part of making it just so,” said Caird.

The organisers never know if a crowd will come out, and this year the weather was so nice on the Saturday that they were worried the crowds would be thinner than normal, followed by a stormy Sunday.

“We are a tradition for people now,” said Caird, “and people seem to make it out at some point in the weekend to see their favourites, to see what is new this year, and even for the treats and coffee.”

The displays have a local and an international theme, with some displays coming from far afield (Africa, Europe, Israel, Haiti, South America) while others were purchased locally or hand-made. They are made of many different materials as well; ceramic, glass, wood, even coconut shells.

Carson Craven behind one of the African Nativity scenes on display “One of the reasons we hold it so early is so people can have their Nativities back for their own displays. We get nervous about making sure nothing gets lost or damaged, especially as we grow every year, but so far we have a good record,” said Caird.

“It is a lot quicker to take down than it is

too put up,” she added.

So far, the name 101 Nativities has held up, even through there were over 230 this year, but as they get closer to 300, pressure may mount to re-name the event. By 2025 we could be reporting on the Cole Lake 500.

Festive Ride adds a new focus

W

ith its annual Festive “Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere” (R.I.D.E.) campaign getting underway this week, the OPP is determined to dispel the myth that driving while high on drugs cannot be detected by police and is a safe alternative to driving under the influence of alcohol.

Officers are trained as Drug Recognition Evaluators, giving them the authority and tools needed to detect drug-impaired drivers – something they hope no driver gives them a reason to use during the holidays. Over the coming weeks, the OPP hopes to conduct a successful campaign in which every single driver they pull over in a Festive R.I.D.E. Stop is a sober, drug-free driver.

Chiropractic Clinic as a way of giving something back to their communities. Popular right from the beginning, it now fills Grace Hall in Sydenham with two sittings and raises almost $4,000 to be divided equally between the Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Fund, and Southern Frontenac Community Services.

For many, it has become a delightful way to begin the winter holiday season (though last Saturday was still shorts and t-shirt weather). For $25, participants get to choose a bowl made by one of several local potters and a meal of soup from an area restaurant. Some fill their bowl with one soup, others prefer the ‘tasting’ approach, trying scoops of each of several of the wide variety of flavours. Not only do the bowls go home with their new owners, but the helpers whisk them away first and return them freshly washed.

The presentation of VISIONSoup remains largely a family affair: preparation, welcoming and serving are done by Josie and Leslie and their parents, spouses, children and friends, all wearing bright red shirts.

Soups and bowls are all donated.
