CF council manages to whittle down budget a bit but ratepayers still looking at 7.8 per cent increase for local services, 6.2% overall by Craig Bakay and Jeff Green fter the first round of budget deliberations for Central Frontenac Council, the magic number is sitting at a 6.2 per cent increase. If the budget were to be finalised tomorrow, that would mean an additional $64 per $100,000 of assessed value to ratepayers. “(But) we’re not done yet,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “If we can get it down to 4 per cent, that would be good.” When Council began the all-day meeting on Monday (February 6), they were initially faced with an intractable fact; so-called negative growth. The total assessed value of all the properties in Central Frontenac for the purposes of the current tax year is $886,543,881, quite a chunk of change. But it is down from the total assessed value from a year earlier, by $7.5 million, or 0.8%. That means if the same tax rate that was used in 2016 were applied, tax revenue would be down by $62,000. This issue is compounded

by increases coming from the Frontenac County budget. The County increased its levy to the townships by about 4.2% this year. The impact of that increase over the entire county is buffered by assessment growth of 1%. However, here again since Central Frontenac saw negative growth of 0.8%, the impact of the county budget in Central Frontenac is a 5% increase. When increased policing, hydro and staffing costs, in particular the move to a full time fire chief, members of Central Frontenac Council were looking at a 9% increase in the amount needed for their own purposes, and a total increase of just under 8% when the a 0% increase in the education rate and a 5% increase in the county rate is factored in. After a day of work, Council cut $180,000 in spending from the budget, lowering the increase for local use to 7.8% and the overall increase to 6.2%. Council isn’t done yet having scheduled another budget meeting to follow the

Feb. 14 regular meeting, but two of the largest budgets — public works and fire — along with corporate services have already been dealt with. That leaves the planning, building and capital budgets still to be scrutinised. (Editors note - Budgeting in Central Frontenac has been difficult over the years.

Perry Finds $100,000 Savings For Township D

eputy Mayor Fred Perry made a suggestion at last month’s special budget meeting regarding borrowing money from the Federal Gas Tax Reserve to help pay for the new municipal complex as opposed to taking out a loan on the full amount. This idea could save the Municipality over $100,000 over the course of the loan but would deplete the Townships reserve funds. “I don’t, personally, want to be depleting our reserves,” Councillor Wayne Good said. “If we start doing that here on this we’ll have to start playing catch up.” “As the Federal Gas Tax Reserve builds up at $186,000 a year is the plan to use that if there is a bridge failure?” Councillor John In-

CAO Cheryl Robson explained that it could be used for bridges, road repairs, or other unforeseen expenses related to that infrastructure. “It was an excellent suggestion by the Deputy Mayor,” Mayor Higgins said. Council voted to transfer $250,000 from the Federal Gas Tax Reserve which lowers the total amount of the loan application to $704,244. They also opted for the 25year serialized loan at 3.5% interest.

Editorial

MP Bossio on Electoral Reform

by Jeff Green

here are a lot of things that could, and have, been written about last week’s revelation that the Trudeau Liberals will not reform the electoral system even though Mr. Trudeau himself repeatedly promised they would before and after his party took power. But let’s look at what a Liberal MP said. Mike Bossio was narrowly elected in the new riding of Hastings-Lennox and Addington almost 16 months ago. I don’t know him but from what I’ve heard and read, he is hard working, enthusiastic, and full of zeal to bring about positive change for his constituents. Late last week, he published an open letter on the government decision. He argued that the government should not act on its own to re-write the rules of elections, seeming to favour a more democratic solution, a referendum perhaps, to make that decision. “There is no consensus on which different electoral system to adopt. For a change of this magnitude, there needs to be much clearer support. If the Liberals, as the majority government, tried to ram through a change of this magnitude with so many competing voices, there would be as much and probably more concern from Canadians.” Then he argued that allowing the voters to evaluate a proposed system and make the decision through a referendum, would be divisive. “However, the last thing that Canada needs at this time of international and economic uncertainty is a divisive referen-

dum campaign in Canada pitting us against each other and distracting all of us from what needs to be our top priority – good jobs for Canadians, and growth for the middle class and those working hard to join it.” (Nice pivot to the economy, eh) If, and this turned out to be too big an if, the higher reaches of the Liberal party has actually been willing to actually work towards seeking a real consensus on a fair system by which members of Parliament are elected, they might have found one. But they did not do so and that is where the lack of political consensus on the matter came from. Once again we know what we always knew. Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives want any part of proportional representation, a system where every vote makes a difference in the outcome. The Liberal and Conservative Parties have traded power in this country for 150 years. They intend to do so for another 150. Mike Bossio ends his letter by saying, “However, while our electoral system will not be changing in this mandate, this does not mean that there will be no electoral reform” and then goes on to talk about parliamentary reforms, which he knows very well is not electoral reform at all. And the decision to abandon the project extends beyond “this mandate”. Whether this government lasts 4, 8, or 12 years, it will not reform the electoral system. I suspect that Mike Bossio, in his more reflective moments, is uncomfortable with the letter he wrote last week. He should be.

tive for the 2018 election. Insurance Coverage Debra Murphy, a representative from the Frank Cowan Insurance Company, made a brief presentation to Council on Friday to explain some of the important parts of North Frontenac’s insurance policy. The Frank Cowan Insurance Company, a small, specialized firm, has a team that works only in municipal insurance. “We are all about managing risks and keeping your claims under control,” Murphy said. “We are very well-versed in what’s important in municipalities.” The total limit of liability for the policy is set at $50,000,000 and the total annual premium is $72,633. Mayor Ron Higgins asked whether Frank Cowan does risk management seminars for social media citing Donald Trump’s tweets as an example. “The more this (social media) gets used by municipalities the more risk there is,” Higgins said. Murphy was unsure but was going to look into it. Salvation Army Disaster Services Mark Evans, a representative from the Salvation Army (SA), made a presentation to Council regarding their Emer-

by Craig Bakay Addington Highlands Council announced its new Road & Waste Management Supervisor at its regular meeting Monday in Flinton. The Township chose to promote from within, naming lead hand Mark Freeburn to the position. Freeburn officially begins his new duties Feb. 13. The position became vacant last November when longtime supervisor (29 years) Royce Rosenblath announced his retirement plans. Rosenblath himself took over the position from another long-time employee, his father, James (26 years as ‘road boss’ of the former Denbigh, Abinger and Ashby Township). For his part, Freeburn was optimistic. “Everything’s looking good,” he said. Condolences - The Township expressed its condolences on the passing of former Frontenac News editor Jule Koch. In a prepared statement Council said: “Jule covered activities in Addington Highlands and reported on many Council meetings.

The EDS program is a modified version of what the SA does day to day but in an emergency context. The program, funded primarily through unspecified general donations to the SA offers clothing and furniture vouchers at their stores, emotional and spiritual care, donation management, and a mass food service via their fleet of custom canteen vehicles when needed in an emergency situation. These services, excluding the canteen trucks, are free of charge to municipalities. “We do endeavour to keep costs at a minimum when we’re dealing with municipalities,” Evans said. Evans would work with the Fire Chief to create a memorandum of understanding between the Salvation Army and the Municipality so costs of using the food truck would be known in advance. The canteen truck, which has a kitchen and washroom on-board, can be used to keep emergency workers fed during an emergency response. Approximately 500 burgers were cooked up for emergency workers during the Parliament Hill shooting in 2014.

Thanks to community

n January 14 we suffered the devastating loss of our home, when it was severely damaged by fire. On that day and on every day since, we have received amazing support from family, friends, and the community, and we want to take this opportunity to thank everyone. Thank you to the firemen who spent over 7 hours putting the fire out and who made sure they brought out every photo and picture they could retrieve, my purse, my husbands wallet, and many other items that meant so much to us....thank you for the donations of clothing, and to the neighbours who gave us coats on the day of the fire; thank you to everyone who has stopped us in the street or in a store and offered us help, the list goes on..... The tremendous support from everyone is helping us get through this ordeal, we are lucky to be living in such a caring community. Thank you all again, Phil and Jo Mather

re electoral reform

’m feeling disheartened and angry about the Liberal decision to abandon their promise of electoral reform. Having rejected the recommendations of an all party task force, the government put out a nonsensical survey to the Canadian public last Fall. Now, while our attention was on the Quebec City massacre and the immigration ban in the U.S., it was revealed last week that there will be no electoral reform under their government. The timing of this announcement, along with the ineptitude of the survey, is suspect. I believe Trudeau never intended to bring about electoral reform, even though he campaigned hard on it this past election. Our electoral system is flawed and needs fixing so that all votes count, and so that many of us voting with our conscience do not end up disenfranchised. This fix is now even more imperative given the recent developments resulting from a flawed system in the United States. The Trudeau government has an opportunity to go down in history as the one that made our electoral system more democratic, but we need to aply pressure in order to hold them to their promise. There are some online petitions going around, including this one began by NDP MP Nathan Cullen in October. It is continuing until March 2. Here is the web address for it: https://petitions. parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-616 Please help by adding your voice in protest of this recent decision, by sending letters to your M.P., and directly to Justin Trudeau, urging them to keep the Liberals to their word; to design a better electoral system for this country. He can be reached by mail at Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2, by fax at 613-941-6900 or send a message electronically through pm.gc.ca/eng/connect Martina Field

Re: South Frontenac Wastes an Opportunity SINCE 1970

would like to address some of the points raised. The “inequality” of waste management tax is no different than any other fee. Does the waterfront property owner expect better snow removal, better policing or better fire protection? Yet, they do pay more in taxes. A 2015 US study from the JPMorgan Chase Institute concluded that consumer spending, hence consumption, does go up with income although it is not linear. With more consumption there will also be a proportional increase in waste; therefore, pay more. Who says the bag tags are “free”? Yes, we don’t pay for them directly but I have no doubt that the cost of the tags is present in the waste management budget. If we were to pay more for the tags then there should be a corresponding reduction in the budget and taxes – no difference. And since when was the collection of recyclables free? Really? Who says that clear bags are better? It is a different way of controlling waste but why is it better? Show us the empirical data that demonstrates a reasonable and realistic waste management cost savings as well as an “environmental savings”. What about the economics of the bags? Who pays the cost of the printed bags? Where are they stored? Who administers the selling and distribution? I hope they aren’t sold at a profit! That’s an additional tax. I bet that the printed bags cost more than the tags. Controlling waste at one’s own home is fine if the resources are available. Tenants would have a fine time composting, and not everyone can have a burn barrel in their backyard.

Open letter to Prime Minister Trudeau

I am profoundly shocked by your government's decision to renege on your commitment to meaningful electoral reform. Your father and my father, the late Hon. Eugene Forsey, were friends. And so many of us trusted you. When you came to office we had hope. We thought you would respect Canadians' clear desire for an electoral system based on proportional representation – a desire on which the Special Committee found extensive agreement: "71.5% of respondents either strongly agreed (59.1%) or agreed (12.4%) with the statement “Canada’s electoral system should ensure that the number of seats held by a party in Parliament reflects the proportion of votes it received across the country”:[258] (from the Committee's Report, referring to their online consultation. An even higher percentage of submissions supported some form of proportional representation.) We thought you were committed to evidencebased policy-making and to listening to Canadians. Abandoning this crucial electoral reform does the opposite on both counts. It is an astonishing betrayal, suggestive of hypocrisy and based on lies.

Member of the Ontario Community Newspaper Association

If you persist in this outrageous decision, you will condemn us not only to the anti-democratic perversity of "first-past-the-post" elections, but to a dangerous hardening of political cynicism even among those of us who still believed in your promise of real change. I appeal to you to reinstate genuine electoral reform as a major priority of your government, and direct adequate resources to developing a made-in-Canada proportional representation system, based on the fine work already carried out by the Special Committee. With deep disappointment – but a remaining glimmer of hope, Helen Forsey

Good bladder health means allowing it to fill with urine before emptying it. Many people go whenever they feel the urge, or they go ‘now’ so they don’t have to worry about it later. If the bladder isn’t allowed to fill properly it might shrink a little causing you to feel the urge to go more often. You can retrain your bladder by holding the urine longer. Here’s a good idea to aid in getting a good night’s sleep. Make a “to do” list each night just before you turn the light out. Having the next day’s obligations down on paper (or digitally) will help avoid the stress that you might forget something. It will relax your mind to help you get a good night’s sleep. The internet is full of health information. The question is whether the source of information is reliable or not. Here are two sites that contain reliable information on health. NHS Choices is a British site from their National Health Service. Another site is Medline Plus from the U.S. and is a combined effort of the National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health. Both sites are comphrensive and reliable. Pharmacists are sometimes asked whether drinking alkaline water will help avoide illness. The answer is probably not. The natural PH (measure of acidity/alkalinity) of our blood is 7.35-7.45 which is alkaline already and nothing we eat or drink will change that.

• February 14th is not the only day to be wearing red and white! I will be wearing red and white on Feb. 15th! Why? To celebrate our National Flag! Did you know our Canadian flag was adopted by Parliament on October 22nd and proclaimed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on February 15, 1965. Red and white are the official colours for Canada, declared and appointed by King George V on November 21, 1921. • When thinking about our Canadian flag, I cannot help but remember those who have protected us, some with their lives. Did you know the Royal Canadian Legion advocates on behalf of veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families and provides essential supports to communities across Canada? Have you heard about Northbrook’s Jimmie Clarke Legion Branch # 328? • Here is just a snapshot of what the members of Northbrook’s Jimmie Clarke Legion Branch # 328 have been up to. From funds recently raised, over $5,000 has been distributed in our community including Pine Meadow Nursing Home and Meals On Wheels. Members of the branch also held their annual student Remembrance Day drawing contest. The contest winners shared in prizes totalling $560. The annual poppy campaign in our area (Kaladar to Griffith) was successfully completed with 23 members and volunteers participating. By becoming a member of the Legion you are expressing the ultimate way to show your appreciation for that service. Did you know you don’t have to have served to join? For more information contact Wayne Marsh (President) at 613-336-9011 or Cecil Hawley (Membership Chair) at 613-336-2389. • Monday February 20 is Family Day. School is out, so come on over to the Barrie Community Hall in Cloyne and have a bowl of soup and crackers.

• We’re excited for the increasing daylight hours- however our “Henderson Harry” groundhog saw his shadow- so we are doomed for 6 more weeks of winter. We are warding off cabin fever by anticipating the 13th Annual Big Gull Lake Fishing Derby (“one day one lake” for pike or pickerel- in the Slot size) hosted by the Frontenac Addington Trappers Council on Sat.

One reader’s suggestion was “Could it be an antique waffle maker stand? It would sit on the stove or open coals and the waffle maker sat on top”.

Focus on wellness

Holly Labow of Polished Spa W hen Holly Labow moved her spa business out of town to her home north of Grafton a few years ago, she was concerned that she may lose business being north of the 401, and in the country “That didn’t happen. People made the trip for the services I provide and the atmosphere I created,” she said last week from her new home on Pine Lake, on Brown’s Lane off the Ardoch Road in North Frontenac. Being a few minutes north of Grafton, and just 15 min-

utes from Cobourg, is not exactly the same as being located off the Ardoch Road, especially in the winter when even permanent residents are planning southern getaways. Holly and her husband Michael bought their lakefront property a few years ago, and once he retired, they moved in last summer on a full time basis. They had a new building designed and built for Polished Spa, for Holly to start up her business in North Frontenac. Since then they have contin-

ued to work on their house. Polished Spa has one main room with a treatment bed and plenty of room to work, and a foyer/waiting room at the front. It is clean and comfortable and has views of Pine Lake and the surrounding woods. In it, Holly Labow offers a range of services, including: manicures, shellac manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup, and waxing and trimming. She also provides hot stone, aromatherapy, and exfoliating massage treatments. Holly is also a certified foot reflexologist and provides reflexology treatments in the spa. “By manipulating specific reflexes in the feet to remove stress, a parasympathetic response will occur in the body,” Holly says on her website about reflexology. Reflexology treatments include a foot bath and the use of essential oils. First sessions can last 90 minutes and subsequent sessions are not as long. “I love my work in the spa, and even if we are in a new location, far off the beaten track, I wanted to get started up as soon as I could after we moved here. I opened in mid-August, and caught the tail end of the summer. Since then I have been learning about the community, and introducing myself and my services to people in the area, many of whom have never had a pedicure,

never spent an hour in a spa like this,” she said. So far, even in the dead of winter, she feels pretty good about how the business has gone. “The summertime is more about the esthetics part of the spa and the winters

are more about healing and wellness. I’m happy to create this kind of peaceful atmosphere, to help my clients relax and serve their needs.” So far so good. While the spa has not been overwhelmed with business this

winter, there have been clients coming in on a regular basis, and Holly is as optimistic as ever about the future. “I kind of took the philosophy that if you build it they would come, and so far it is working out.”

Traditional chinese medical acupunture by Lynn Dowdall T

here must be something to it since it has been around for 5,000 years! Traditional Chinese medicine is main stream medicine. It is both an art and a science. Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese art of healing and one of the oldest medical studies in the world.

The science of acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. For thousands of years the Chinese have appreciated it for its non-pharmaceutical treatment, simple application, wide range of use, low cost, and good curative effect. It works on the ener-

gy of the body by inserting extremely fine needles into acupuncture points; this in turn disperses blockages, increases the function of specific organs and balances the overall energy of the body. It reduces cholesterol,

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

February 9, 2017

In the Pink I

by Anne Elvins n 1990 a small group of women formed a support group in South Frontenac. They called themselves 'The Sydenham/ Harrowsmith Breast Cancer Support group'. At first the group met monthly at each others

website - continued from page 1 and better than ever. And this year they will be topped off with flotillas, winter lake events and other celebrations. There will be balls and banquets spread through the calendar. We started the year with the Red and White Ball and the New Years Day Levee. We will carry on with a period ball called “A Soiree with Sir John A”, with a “Giving Thanks” dinner to share across the whole community and we will usher out this special year with another New Years Eve dance. We will enjoy special church services in May and July and the Shabot Obaadjiwan FN will host a sharing circle for the larger community in early autumn. Heritage events will take different forms. Many, such as the “150 Quilts” display will be part of the Heritage Festival in February but opening of the Kennebec Heritage Garden will take place later and Virgil Garrett’s collection of grand-

Acupuncture continued from page 6 acupuncture points; this in turn disperses blockages, increases the function of specific organs and balances the overall energy of the body. It reduces cholesterol, cleans blood vessels, delays the aging process, has no side effects and prolongs life. Needling helps with Depression, Anxiety, Addictions, Insomnia, A.D.D., & Stress. It is useful in pain relief, both for acute and chronic pain. As well as a pain relieving effect, acupuncture has an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect, an immune enhancing effect, a regulatory or balancing effect and a motor recovery effect (for an injury or stroke). Acupuncture is not just for sore backs and addictions. It is a natural therapy that treats a wide range of conditions from Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel, Headaches and Fertility to Insomnia, Bellys Palsy, Nose bleeds and strengthens internal organs (just to name a few). People often ask if the needles hurt, but since they are very fine, they are practically painless The needles do not have anything added to them. They are powerful by themselves. There is also no set number of treatments required. The process and response to therapy depends a great deal on the condition being treated, the state of health of the individual and the duration of the illness. It also depends on whether it is a chronic or actute illness The average number of treatments is 7 to 10. For example nose bleeds usually only require 1 treatment= whereas for sea-

homes, but as the group continued to grow a larger venue was needed. St. Paul's United Church in Harrowsmith opened their arms in welcoming support. On the second Tuesday of each month approximately 25 women would gather for a hearty home-cooked lunch, after which the church offered a private meeting space. The meetings often included guest speakers detailing new treatfather clocks will be on display all year. And the best may be yet to come. The Village of Arden is planning festival weekends for mid-June and mid August. Details are still being finalized but both week-ends will include music, sports, food and out-door activities. And last but not least, the North Frontenac Little Theatre will have activities in support of Canada 150 throughout the year. They kicked off this program with “Turtle Crossings” last November. Through 2017, they will be involved in community activities, stage a student theatre camp in August and conclude with a revue called “Central Frontenac Forever” in November. It’s going to be a busy, fun filled year. The website Cfcanada150 should always have the latest, most accurate information about what’s going on. Keep in touch. Or go to Canada 150 Central Frontenac on Facebook. sonal allergies 7 to 10 would be needed. Acupuncture therapy is also useful as an aid to quitting smoking. It helps release cravings, facilitates detoxification, relieves anxiety, and supports the immune system. Acupuncture is now available for cosmetic uses as well, as an alternative to face lifts and other more invasive treatments. Children also respond really well to acupuncture. Less needles are used and they respond to treatment much quicker than adults. Children can be treated for a fever, digestive disorders, insomnia, bowel problems, coughs, asthma, bedwetting, seasonal allergies, acute pain such as from an injury and some skin conditions. As of April 1, 2013, acupuncture became regulated in the province of Ontario. Other practitioners may do acupuncture under the scope of their profession, however, it may not be traditional Chinese medical acupuncture and they may only treat for pain. A Registered Acupuncturist must provide a TCM diagnosis assessment. Acupuncture by a Registered Acupuncturist is covered through extended health insurance. The needles are pre-packaged for single use only. Malpractice insurance is only available to acupuncturists who use disposable needles. Once the needles are used, they are disposed of in a bio-hazard container. Lynn Dowdall is a Registered Acupuncturist. She operates the Perth Acupuncture Clinic, which is located located on Highway 7 between Wemyss and Brooke. She can be reached by phone at 613-267-1119.

ments & relaxation techniques. However, the main component of each meeting was always camaraderie with a strong emphasis on humour. At the close of each meeting a member was presented with a fresh flower arrangement provided by Christine Kennedy, the owner of Memory Lane Flowers in Sydenham. When St. Paul's United Church closed in 2016 the gruop became homelss, or so it felt. Enter Yarker. The group was invited to hold lunches at Riverside United church, followed by meeting. Along, with the new location it was also decided that the group needed a new name.

This support group now has approximately 45 members coming from all over the region. We offer hope, inspiration, friendship, education, laughter and sometimes tears. But most importantly a feeling that you are never alone on this journey. There is nothing more hopeful to a newly diagnosed person than meeting a group of healthy, happy, IN THE PINK survivors. The next meeting is on Thursday, February 16th at 12 noon. The volunteers at Riverside United church need to know how much food to prepare so if you plan to attend call Ann at 613-572-1368 or Kim at 613-214-1329.
