Juniors win, seniors lose as Bubba Bowl returns to Sydenham

by Craig Bakay fter a two-year absence to to field repairs and improvements, the 10th annual Bubba Bowl returned to the field at Point Park in Sydenham last Friday. The Junior Sydenham High School Golden Eagles won 30-7 while a very young senior side fell 28-7.

The Bubba Bowl is held annually to honour Alex (Bubba) Turcotte, a former player who died of heart disease before he got to play his final season at SHS. The opponents this year were the LaSalle Secondary School Black Knights.

The senior Knights were a force to be reckoned with, featuring several very large human beings and plenty of experience.

However, despite being over matched size- and experience-wise, the Golden Eagles made a game of it when they came out in the second half.

Down 14-0, running back Simon Cook went on a tear, including one 72-yard run and after a couple of LaSalle fumbles, quarterback Ray Whitehead completed a scoring pass to wideout Nick Vankoughnett.

However, both Whitehead and Vankoughnett went down to injuries and it was pretty much all LaSalle after that. The Knights scored a pair of touchdowns in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

“You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of,” head coach Jim Latimer told his team after the game. “There was elevated intensity on

every play.

“But come playoff time, we have to be even better. Nobody’s going to want to see us in the playoffs.”

Latimer himself even admitted to feeling hopeful as the second half began.

“But then we had three major injuries and our guys are so young.”

Still, most of those young guys made it to the finals in junior last year and they’re getting the hang of the senior game.

On the junior side, it was pretty much all Sydenham as Dain Bailey led the way with three touchdowns, two of which came in the opening frame. Chad Branscombe also scored a major and Owen O’Mera added a field goal and three converts.

Coach Karl Hammer said quarterback Jack Richards is “really establishing himself — he’s a great thinker in panic situations.

He seems to see things happening.”

Hammer said on defence, middle linebacker Vince Pople is “certainly coming into his own.”

The fact that Hammer’s opposing head coach on this night was his dad (also Karl) was secondary to him as his team performed on both sides of the ball.

“It was a great team effort,” he said. “We didn’t have to leave our starters in and our backups got in some great reps.

“They’re starting to understand this game.”

Lifesaving awards

ochester New York resident Rob Calihan stands between long-time friends Harold Lake and Paul Davies after they received St. John’s Ambulance Lifesaving Awards and Township Citations Tuesday night in Sydenham.

Last summer, Calihan suffered a heart attack in Battersea and Lake and Davies performed CPR on Calihan for more than 12 minutes until first responders could arrive.

Calihan drove up from Rochester with his 93-year-old mother Martha Weissberger for the ceremony.

“Thanks to them, I can stand here tonight,” Calihan said. “But the most thanks comes from my three daughters, who didn’t have to go through the loss of their father.”

past the point of no return. For example, there was no heat on in the building all through last winter in an effort to save money.

“My only concern is the longer we leave the school, the closer we get to there not being any point to doing something with it,” said Coun. Phillip Smith.

His concern was echoed by District 4 Rec Committee member Sue Leslie.

“We have two quotes lined up and we do have somebody who’ll do the plumbing for free if the Township will buy the materials,” she said. “As you know, the copper plumbing was stolen (in late spring).”

“It’s not a matter of either/or,” said Dep. Mayor Brent Cameron. “The school is still on our plates.”

“I know that the committee has applied to the Kingston Community Foundation for a grant to do a business plan,” said CAO Cathy MacMunn.

But Coun. Bill MacDonald came up with a plan that everyone seemed to be able to live with for the time being, moving that Merriman be directed to come back to Council with a quote to keep the heat on in the school this winter.

ights for the Thompson’s Cut section of the K & P Trail through Sharbot Lake beat out the Sharbot Lake outdoor arena project and the Hinchinbrooke Community Centre (the former Hinchinbrooke school) as Central Frontenac’s project for a potential Trillium Foundation Grant, Council decided at its regular meeting Tuesday afternoon at Piccadilly Hall.

Chief Building Official/Manager of Development Services Shawn Merriman told Council that the municipality can only submit one application and of the three projects considered, the trail ask has the best chance for success.

“They (the committee doing the trail renovations) have already completed Phase 1, and trails seem to be the thing right now,” he said. “We’re still waiting for a business plan for the school and the rink committee probably can’t get two quotes in time for the Oct. 25 deadline.”

There are no matching funds required for Trillium grants and the maximum ask is $150,000. The Trail project is for $50,000.

“I know if we don’t apply, we won’t be successful,” said Coun. Bill MacDonald.

However, there was concern from Hinchinbrooke residents and the district’s councilors that if work didn’t get started on the school soon, it may deteriorate

SF taking advantage of deal on breathing apparatus

by Craig Bakay lthough the official approval will have to wait until next week’s Council meeting, South Frontenac Council decided to purchase of 50 new Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units and 150 spare air bottles at its Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday night (October 10) in Sydenham.

Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough said an opportunity came along to buy the state-of-the-art SCBA because the City of Kingston Fire Department bought units earlier this year and the company is allowing South Frontenac to piggy-back in on the deal.

Chesebrough said Frontenac Islands, Napanee and Loyalist municipalities are also considering taking similar offers and cost savings could be even higher.

South Frontenac had put $680,000 in its 2018 budget (yet to be finalized) for new SCBA but with the special offer the cost would be $572,991, Chesebrough said.

The total savings could be between $114,00 and $135,000 but the municipalities have until Nov. 30 to decide. The South Frontenac budget isn’t scheduled to be finalized until December.

“This would mean that our mutual aid partners would all be using the same apparatus which allows for interoperability,” Chesebrough said.

He said the advantages of these new SCBA are increased firefighter safety with built-in thermal imaging cameras, lightweight bodies, increased air supply, 15-year warranties, built-in telemetry for future blue tooth connection, rechargeable batteries and serviceable tunnel straps for complete decontamination.

Let the budget process begin.

South Frontenac Treasurer Louise Fragnito presented Committee of the Whole with the draft capital budget for Corporate Services, Protective Services, Recreation and Planning Tuesday night with a total of $782,000 for those departments.

“The items presented are in line with the target capital bud-

get within the 10-year long range financial plan previously presented with amendments to maintain a minimum $10million reserve balance as well as a 2.0 per cent taxpayer impact,” she said. “The draft capital budget represents the initial listing received from all department heads incorporating input from committees and Council,” Fragnito said.

“Each line of the budget is subject to Council approval,” said CAO Wayne Orr. “Some of these lines are a little bit out there for my taste,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “For example the tennis court fencing at Point Park — we had that before and it didn’t work out.”

These figures represent only the non-public works capital

The budget could be approved as early as Dec. 5 or as late as Dec. 19.

Trillium grant for Highlands Waters Metis Council T

he Highland Waters Métis Community Council is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to gather traditional knowledge about the Métis culture and way of life in its community. The council will work to collect this knowledge from Métis elders, traditional knowledge holders, Michif speakers, harvesters, and artists through written survey questions, oral interviews, audio/ video recordings and document research.

From their office near Northbrook, the council and its skeleton staff oversee a territory that extends southeast to Smiths Falls and to the 401 just north of Kingston and west to the edge of the Kawartha Lakes region.

“The territory is large and hard to cover,”

said Candace Lloyd, Secretary/Treasurer of SINCE 1970 the council.

Handling membership issues is one of the challenges faced by the council, and Lloyd has copies of a booklet available that outlines how membership in the Metis Nations is determined. There were distinct Metis communities dotting the Ontario landscape.

To qualify as a member of the Metis Nation of Ontario geneological information must be provided to establish direct descendence from a Metis ancestor. As the booklet points out, however, different terms were used in documentation over the years, and the term Metis is rare in Ontario records.

“For the most part the term Halfbreed is used and may be modified in various ways (i.e French breed, other breed, English breed,

breed, etc.)” the booklet says also lists other terms, such as “Chicot, Bois-brule, Northmen, Canadian inhabitant, half caste, Indian Voyager, etc.” and the historical context of the record is taken into account as well.

One important aspect of Metis peoples and their identity is that they are distinct and not “simply groups of mixed ancestry peoples” the booklet says.

Documenting Metis knowledge is an important step in the work of the Highland Water Metis Council to help create awareness of Metis traditions and the distinct culture of the Metis in Ontario and beyond. That is why the Trillium grant comes at an opportune moment in the history of the Highland Waters Council.

With the completion of this project, the

Re – Planning and Ardoch Lake

I

respectfully disagree with reporter Jeff Green's editorial assertion that "the role of local township officials is to work with developers in order to make sure that any proposal that makes it to the stage where it will face public scrutiny it is in a state where a path forward for approving it is there."

This is not a transparent or ethical role for any public official. While public officials should cooperate with all parties, including developers and affected taxpayers, at all-and particularly early--stages of planning, the encouragement--or worse--requirement for, government officials in comfy planning collusions with developers to ensure a plan toward plan approval even before the plan is made public should sound alarm bells in every home, court, legislature or other body where open, transparent and ethical government is valued.

If a proposal such as the Ardoch Lake Condominium project can make it to its current stage, with approval being considered for cramming more than thirty cottages on the south shore of a small and shallow pristine lake, imagine the fiasco that might unfold if public officials had worked with developers

Serenity Holistic Massage Located in Sharbot Lake Angela Kelly Registered C.M.P.

to identify and perhaps even grease a path forward for approval even BEFORE affected homeowners and other taxpayers had any knowledge or notice of what was about to be unleashed!

As it is, it is a sad commentary that concerned taxpayers have had to pony up their own private funding for studies to address issues that should properly be the fiscal, planning and evaluation responsibility of an effective and objective government.

Is it any surprise that consultants and researchers hired and paid by developers would reach conclusions favoring their proposed developments? This research and analysis should be the function of honest government, with early, timely and open notice to all those affected so that facts and impacts can be debated and decided in a free, open, and democratic forum..

One fact I'm still awaiting on the Ardoch Lake Condo project is whether the air and other environmental impact of wood stove and other traditional heating by thirty new cottages concentrated on a small shoreline has been determined.

There must be a report out there, somewhere...

I would just like to add to Craig Bakay's article 'Just how big of a problem is septic system failure in Central Frontenac?' Some of the more hysterical views of the proponents of mandatory septic inspection, would have us believe that we are one faulty septic system away from massive poisoning of our aquifers. I addressed this concern with Jeremy Neven, the Township's former Chief Building Officer, and he was unable to point to a single instance where this had happened in the Township. The best he could come up with was a contamination many years ago in the village of Sydenham. Sydenham has a couple of feet of soil, barely covering permeable limestone. We have swamps and lakes sitting on granite.

My point being that even if the number of septic system failures were higher than they appear to be, this would be unlikely to impact our drinking water.

A son pays tribute to his father: Corin Raymond brings his Bookworm

monologue to Snow Road Station and performs songs from his latest album by Jeff Green

Corin Raymond

C

orin Raymond is a Toronto based singer-songwriter who has performed locally on occasion over the last ten years, most recently at the Blue Skies Music Festival last summer. He has recorded four albums since 2001, including the double album Paper Nickels which was funded entirely with Canadian Tire Money. His most recent recording, Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams, was released in the spring of 2016 and was nominated for a Juno award in the contemporary roots music category. The award went to Earthly Days by William Prince.

Raymond has always been a literary kind of songwriter, often making songs that have both a narrative and a poetic bent.

In 2011 he wrote and staged a spoken word piece called Bookworm at Fringe Festivals around the country. Bookworm is a very personal account of Raymond’s own history with books and storytelling, a journey that is inextricably linked to his relationship to his father, whose personal 10,000 plus book collection was not stored in boxes throughout the family home, but was stacked on shelves throughout the house as if it were a bookstore or library.

With financial assistance from Blue Skies in the Community, Joanne Cumberbirch brought Raymond and his hour long Bookworm to the Snow Road Community Centre last Friday (October 6). Cumberbirch, who brings in a variety of musical acts to house concerts, decided to produce this event at the hall, calling it the first of a potential series of occasional Coffee Houses at the hall. The hall was sold out, even though many in the audience had no idea what the show was going

to be about.

They were not disappointed.

The show starts with the first line of the Ray Bradbury novel Something Wicked This Way Comes.

“First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys. Not that all months aren’t rare.

But there be bad and good, as the pirates say,”. Before going any further Raymond began a series of digressions and anecdotes about his relationship to that book, Ray Bradbury, his father, and many other stories.

Raymond spent a number of years living with his father in a small town in the far western corner of Ontario. They would drive to Ottawa to visit family, leaving a lot of time for his father to tell stories.

His father was the kind of High School history teacher who dressed up like a Roman Centurian to teach the history of the Roman Empire, and the kind of father who read to his son every night and on 18 hour road trips. He was so enthused about, and idiosyncratic in the way he described books that he sent his son off on reading adventures that have never ceased. Corin never did like school very much, however.

Bookworm covers the great love Raymond has for books and certain writers and characters in particular. This enthusiasm for stories and story-telling informs all his own writing and music, and it came from his father’s determination to share his own love of books, stories, and knowledge.

Bookworm is also a wild narrative ride through Sherlock Homes, all of Ray Bradbury, Philip Pullman, the Twilight Zone, Homeric myth, Spiderman, Raymond’s own family history, and more. Although it retains the feel of a spontaneous yarn, you can hear the writer’s, editors and director’s hand as the story progresses.

The impact of the show is to catch some of Raymond’s love for story and books and life as well. It is also a great advertisement for some of the books and writers he loves, particularly Ray Bradbury. If he had copies of Bradbury’s books available he would certainly sell some after the show.

(He said that when he did the show for a week in Winnipeg, he visited some of the local used book stores on his down time, and the booksellers said they had all had an unexpected run on Bradbury’s catalogue.)

Bookworm is a 6 year old piece, but it still felt fresh and interesting last week.

Finally, he did get to the second line of Something Wicked This Way Comes, a line that captures the attitude of boys and girls back in 1962 when the book was written just as completely as it does today.

“Take September, a bad month: school begins. Consider

August, a good month: school hasn’t begun yet. July, well, July’s really fine: there’s no chance in the world for school.

June, no doubting it, June’s best of all, for the school doors spring wide and September’s a billion years away.”

After an intermission of coffee and treats, Raymond performed a set that was mostly devoted to the songs in his Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams recording.

Over the years, Raymond has experimented with different ways of telling a story using words and music. A good example of the facility he has developed, is the song “Hard on Things”. It is basically a list of things the singer is hard on: from clutches to tools to people he knows to his body to his own well-being. The narrative trick is to make the song more than a list, to create a story, which it does. Other highlights included a new song, written by the Australian songwriter David Ross MacDonald, about the recent end of Raymond’s relationship with his girlfriend, describing the day they were packing up her stuff. It has the line – and I am paraphrasing, “it is too late to say its ok, and too early to be sad. I’m so sad.” Heartache makes for good song lyrics.

Corin Raymond performs most Thursday evenings at the Cameron House in Toronto from 6-8pm, and uses the Cameron House as a character in some of his banter. No doubt Snow Road Station will be used in the banter at the Cameron House some time in the future.

He said during his show that if he were a novelist and came up with a town name such as Snow Road Station, he would consider that “a good day’s work”. And the fact that he was the performer at the first ever occasional coffee house in Snow Road Station, pleased him even more.

Bee-harming Pesticides Found in North American Honey

N

ew research, published in Science on October 5th, found widespread contamination of bee-harming neonicotinoid pesticides in honey around the world. Friends of the Earth Canada CEO, Beatrice Olivastri, said, “The discovery of a cocktail of bee-harming pesticides in honey samples across North America, Europe and Asia reinforces the need for a complete and permanent ban on neonicotinoid pesticides.”

Olivastri went on to say, “The study also highlights the importance of knowing what pesticides are being used when and where and end up making their way into the food we eat.”

Canada does not require pesticide use reporting though the European Union and the United States do. “Instead of acting to ban neonicotinoids, first the Harper Government and now Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals keep telling us all is well. It’s not.

Bees collect nectar and pollen from their environment and, like the canary in the coal mine, they provide early warning of toxins. This study points to the urgent need to ban neonics,” says John Bennett, Senior Policy Advisor, Friends of the Earth. “We also have the right to know what pesticides are being used where and when – it’s time for Canada to require pesticide use reports.”

Maximum, median and average concentrations in positive samples were highest in North American, Asian and European samples: the highest being in North American (86%), followed by Asia (80%) and with multiple contaminations of more than one neonic being most frequent in North America, Asia and Europe. Thiamethoxam dominated overall concentrations found in North America but three neonics (thiamenthoxam, imidacloprid and clothianidin) were recorded in at least 50 % of the samples in North America.

Health Canada originally allowed neonicotinoid pesticides on the market on a conditional basis in the early 2000s eventually issuing nearly 50 such conditional registrations. It continued to renew the registration despite the failure of the chemical industry to meet the conditions. These decisions are now the subject of a court case. In Canada millions of acres of corn, soy, canola and other crops are treated with neonicotinoids.

Battersea woman completes grueling relay race in Adirondack I

t was a test of endurance.

Sitting in her home in Battersea one-week after completing a 200-mile relay race from Sarotoga Springs to Lake Placid, Melonee Dowdall smiles at her accomplishment.

"The hardest part was the heat and elevation," said the 46-year-old brunette about the Ragnar Relay Race in New York State last month that left her sore, hungry and tired. "I'm not good in the heat. It really affects me."

A member of a 12-person team of Canadians called the Crazy Canuckleheads, Dowdall trained for 14 weeks down the quiet backroads of South Frontenac Township.

Runners were expected to run three times (legs) over the duration of the race which lasted two full days and nights. Many ran on little to no sleep over steep terrain and in unseasonably warm temperatures; often wearing fluorescent vests and headlamps to mark their way.

"It was definitely a life

changing experience," notes Team Captain Lisa Johnson.

"The elevation was the biggest challenge."

Wrapped in warm pajamas on a cool fall evening more than a week after crossing the finish line, Dowdall describes her first leg with her trademark humour. She sums it up as 40 degree heat and mostly uphill.

"I considered taking a cab for part of it, but I didn't," she says with a smile.

The last part was up a 1.6 km hill, affectionately nicknamed What the Hill.

"It was brutal," she says in hindsight. "I didn't enjoy the experience. I think I didn't really appreciate the accomplishment (finishing the race) and I still don't."

Dowdall describes the race as one of the most difficult experiences of her life.

"It's the lack of sleep," she says with an incredulous laugh. "One night I laid down alone and I woke-up a short while later with two strange men sleeping beside me."

Taking time to reflect on

what she did with a group of fellow Canadians, Dowdall admits, "It was exceptional.

Everyone was supporting each other. They shared food, helpful tips and encouragement. They just wanted everyone to succeed."

"The entire team was amazing. We all gave it 100 per cent," says Johnson proudly about the Canadian team that placed 188 out of 218.

Looking past the mental and physical challenges, Dowdall found inspiration all around her.

"There were some hills I would look at and say 'How am I going to do this'?" says Dowdall.

She adds that she runs “because I can, because I'm healthy and strong. Because I was with my mom in the hospital before her radiation treatment on her brain, when she could still walk. I was with her the last time she walked. When she came back, she never took another step and never stood up again. I vowed then and there, I would live

The Crazy Canuckleheads - Melonee Dowdall is 4th from the right as healthfully as I could as long as I could so I decided to start running in her honour. I do it because I can, even though I had always believed I was not a runner and still don't consider myself a real one.”

Canada 150 Coffee House at GREC

by Craig Bakay ne of the final Canada 150 events in this sesquicentennial year will feature the music of Canada.

The Covering Canada 150 Coffee House is set to go this Friday night (Oct. 13) in the Granite Ridge Education Centre auditorium at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 and includes free coffee and snacks. Proceeds will go to a special fund being set up to pay for music lessons and/or music camp for deserving local students.

“There have been so many 150 celebrations this year,” said Jim MacPherson, who along with fellow musician Gary Giller organized the event. “We wanted to do something to show the Canadian music scene and the many avenues that entails.

And we wanted to highlight the Canadian singer/songwriters and artists we’ve been influenced by.”

The two-set show was in the process of being finalized at press time but in addition to MacPherson and Giller, locals Pete MacPherson, Julia Schall, Martina Field, Dave Limber, Dennis and Donna Larocque and others are scheduled to perform a variety of Canadian tunes, covering such artists as Neil Young, The Guess Who, Ron Hynes, The Barenaked Ladies and Fred Eaglesmith.

MacPherson said they also wanted to give back by raising funds to help kids who might not otherwise have access to music lessons and the musical experience.

“Essentially, we’re just folks who enjoy music,” he said.

Knowledge Circles – a radical idea, people getting together to talk

by Jeff Green e live in an age of social media, mass communications and cell phones buzzing with content 24 hours a day. The Land Between is attempting to bring landowners, hunters, loggers, hikers, anyone who has a love for and stake in the land they live, work, or play in to get together in person to talk about what is happening to the land around us.

Knowledge Circles are being held this month in four locations in the region covered

by The Land Between, a charitable organisation devoted to the well-being of a large region of Eastern Ontario that is located in between the rich farmland of the St. Lawrence Basin and the granite of the Canadian Shield. (see below) Knowledge Circle events are being held over the next few weeks.

Events are being held in Buckhorn, Gravenhurst, Madoc (November 4) and Verona (October 28) all during the time between the end of gardening season and the beginning of deer hunting season this year.

“It has become clear that governments do not have the capacity or the inclination to look at what is on the ground, on the local landscape, in order to protect what is there and to deal with the effects of climate change on the habitat that people live and work on every day. The idea behind the Knowledge Circles is for the people who have the knowledge to get together and share information with each other,” said Leora Berman of the Land Between.

The Saturday events run from 10 – 4. The Land Between is an organisation that is 50% controlled by First Nations peoples, and has

W

developed a partnership with the Curve Lake First Nation, and the Knowledge Circle events will be facilitated by Berman and Shane Taylor from Curve Lake. The day will include an opportunity to record insights from participants and a lot of time for discussion.

“The people who work with the land know our land intimately. They’ve seen the numbers of animals on roads, animals hatched, and those harvested. They have witnessed changes to our soil, water, and wildlife habitats that are causing big problems for everyone living on the land. To find solutions to these problems, let’s call on our most experienced allies: farmers, hunters, anglers, loggers, beekeepers, gardeners, kayakers, and hikers” said Berman.

Berman said that after the first circle, which was held in Gravenhurst last weekend, “there was amazing feedback. People were grateful to have a forum to share their concerns, and new contacts and friendships were made.”

The event in Verona is being put on with the support of the Hastings Stewardship Council and Susan Moore. The event will take place at the Verona Lion’s Hall, 4504 Verona Sand Road. The event is free and lunch is included. Registration by emailing info@thelandbetween.ca or call Leora at 705-457-4838 or go online to register at knowledgecircles.ca. Registration is preferred for the food order but participants can attend without pre-registering.

(When traveling throughout Ontario, you will encounter large known ecosystems such as the St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Canadi-

an Shield and further north, the Boreal Forest. But what lies between these areas? An “ecotone” is an area of transition containing elements from the ecosystems it borders, but also having features that are entirely unique.

The Land Between is a complex ecotone, between the Canadian Shield and St. Lawrence Lowlands, and is characterised by low relief exposed granite to the north side and “stepping stones” of limestone plain along the south side. Small and connected lakes and wetlands between these dry open ridges and patches of cool shaded forest are the patterns of this unique natural system.

The physical character of The Land Between, as an ecotone, is shaped by fundamental transitions in: Geology; physiography; climate; and elevation. Therefore The Land Between is located in a unique plant hardiness zone; has its own growing degree days; has its own amount of frost free days, has the highest mineral diversity in Ontario; the highest percentage of shoreline to area than anywhere in the province; and the only rock barrens in Ontario. Generally the landscape has less than 15cm of soil cover. The lack of soils, together with the abundance of connected fresh water, and the starker climate make this landscape easy to damage.

Pollution and disruption here is far reaching and long lasting.

Ecotones are also areas of high biodiversity. Biodiversity results from the number of food web interactions: Higher biodiversity means more species are interacting within the food web. High biodiversity is important for healthy and functioning ecosystems.

Higher biodiversity translates into more capacity to withstand climate change and to maintain ecosystem functions, and therefore greater wellbeing for people - source thelandbetween.ca/geography)

Classical Woodwind Trio Coming to MERA

The Harmonious Pigs are comprised of Susan Morris, who has been playing principal oboe or English horn with the Ottawa Symphony for over thirty years, Ben Glossop who has been principal bassoon with the Symphony for over twenty years and Shauna McDonald who has been the principal clarinet for over ten years.

The trio will be presenting a delightful program of Ludwig Van Beethoven and Ignaz Joseph Pleyel, along with the French masters Paul Pierné and Jacques Ibert. All together, they will be sharing 15 musical gems.

Tickets for each performance are $25, plus convenience fee, and are available at Ticketsplease.ca or (613) 485-6434. They can ordered and then be picked up at the door before the concert.

NAEC surpasses Terry Fox goal

by Valerie Allan AEC students turned out in force on Thursday, September 28, to raise money in the annual Terry Fox Run. Student’s Council set a goal of $2,500 in sponsorships.

The money has all been collected, and the final tally comes to $3,019.25 – over $500 higher than the goal.

As well as obtaining sponsorships, 48 students and staff bought Terry Fox T-shirts, which also contributed to the fundraising.

Ms. Shepherd’s class won free break-

N

fasts for raising the most Secondary money, while Ms. Dunham’s class won free sundaes for being the top Elementary earners.

Greg Garey, Alexus Wagner, Henry Hasler, Raistlin Lloyd, Avery Gaylord, and Maggie Hasler raised $100 or more each.

“We are very proud that our little school was able to meet and exceed an ambitious target,” remarked Angela Salmond, Principal. “It just shows what can happen when the whole school works together.”

Firefighter Award for Bravery

South Frontenac Mayor, OPP Const. Marc Gallant and Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough presented South Frontenac firefighter Mike McNish with an OPP Citation for Bravery, a Governor-General’s Commendation for Bravery and a Township Citation for his attempted rescue of a women whose car had gone off the road and into the water one night last November. Sadly, although McNish jumped into the water and attempted a cold water rescue, he was unable to save the woman’s life.

LOLCS Survey I

t has been a very busy few months for the Board of Land O' Lakes Community Services & Pine Meadow Nursing Home. As promised, the results of our May/June Survey for Community Services have been tallied and studied with the outcome being as follows.

First and foremost, there was a very positive response to the existing programs overall, especially the Seniors Adult Drop-in, men's and women's groups, Meals on Wheels, and Transportation. Seasonally, the Income Tax Service, Snowsuit Fund, and Christmas Hamper programs are readily utilized. Lesser used are the Warm Toes and the Backpack programs for children, Adult Protective Services, Caregiver, and Homemaking Services.

The number one area noted as needing improvement is better communication with the people living in our coverage area. When asked how information was received, two methods stood out, word of mouth, and through the local newspaper. We are in the process of redoing our website and are exploring other ways of keeping you informed. In the mean time, we ask that you continue to check up on, visit and talk to your senior neighbours, and continue to read the paper for upcoming events.

There were also requests for adult exercise/ walking programs. While there have been independent exercise programs for Seniors in both Northbrook and Denbigh, no one responded that they actually made use of these.

This could be due to a lack of communication.

The lack of child/teen activity programs was certainly seen as a need in our communities.

Open Mon. - Fri. 7am - 5pm, Sat. 8am - 5pm, Sun. 9am - 2pm

Mon-Thu: 8am-6pm Fri: 8am-8pm. Sat: 8am-5pm.

Sun: 9am-4pm

Unfortunately, we are not provincially funded for this at this time. We will continue to search for possible funding sources. Meanwhile, if you would like to organize and run after school/ homework clubs, teen movie nights, or other age appropriate programs, you could talk with either the Lions Club or the school administration to see if they can accommodate you.

The Mazinaw Lake Swim Program has been operated by dedicated volunteers for the past 45 years (originally as the Marble Lake Swim Program), and has been a program of Land O' Lakes Community Services since 1985. While costs have risen, efforts have been made to keep registration fees minimal. Registration fees continue to cover only a very small percentage of the actual cost of hiring instructors, lifeguards, bus drivers and bus rental, as well as insurance. Most of the costs to run this program are raised through fundraising.

Fundraising is done for many other programs running at Community Services and Pine Meadow. All aspects of Pine Meadow, Community Services, and the Mazinaw Lake Swim Program, require volunteers to assist with programming, and until more provincial funding is allocated to rural services, we appreciate the generosity of our community to help us run these very valuable programs. We continue to explore alternative funding.

If you find you have some time to volunteer, please contact the programs you may be interested in.

We thank you very much for taking the time to participate in our survey.

Fun at the F.A.I.R

I

n order to highlight youth services, programming and activities for rural youth, a community services fair is set for Wednesday October 25th at Granite Ridge Education Centre.

The Northern Rural Youth Partnership, which is made up of representatives from groups who work with youth in Frontenac County, as well as municipal partners, is holding a Partners with Parents event called Fun at the F.A.I.R. (Families Accessing Information/Resources).

Starting at 5pm there will be a community dinner, and at 6:15 youth will participated in a fun fair with face painting, clowns, and other activities organised by the Rural Frontenac Community Services Youth Program, while very young children will be able to access free day care. The adults will have access to different tables for information sharing. That portion of the evening will be from 6:30 to 8. There are 11 agencies or organizations

particpating, from Recreation Leagues such as baseball and soccer to agencies the help with counseling, mental health services, educational services, and more. Adults will receive a number when they arrive and that will determine the order in which they visit the different service providors. It will be a bit like speed dating for services as each presentation has been honed down to 5 minutes. At each location adults will receive an information package and a ticket that they can enter into a draw for the door prize of their choice at 8pm.

Admission is free but families are encouraged to pre-register in order to make sure the correct amount of food is available, but no one will be turned away at the door. To pre-register call 613-279-2244 or email Janm@rfcs.ca.

Food is being provided without charge by Seed to Sausage, the Healthy Kids Community Challenge and Weston Bakeries.
