Bat cave a big hit at Kennebec Halloween party

by Craig Bakay here aren’t as many children in the community as there were when we started this 16 years ago, but we do have more grandparents coming out and they seem to be enjoying themselves,” said Wanda Harrison, chief organizer of Kennebec Rec’s annual kids Halloween party. “Actually, we do have a couple of new families this year and even one baby lumberjack.”

Many things are still the same as they have been many years.

For instance, Barbara Kirkland is still the “tattoo expert” and Diane Nicholson organizes the costume parade.

Kent Smith and Lorne Hiltz were in the kitchen cooking hot dogs.

But one thing that changes every year is what goes on in the basement. This year, it was a bat cave.

“This is our fourth year,” said Connie Tryan, who manages to transform the lower level of Kennebec Hall with her husband Boyd “We’ve done pirates, witches, and a haunted house.

“This year, we were studying stalactites at kids club and decided on a bat cave after feedback from the kids, some of whom have been down here two or three times now.”

“T

At the end of the costume parade, it took some doing but we finally got most of the partygoers on stage for a picture.

Ruttan returns, but change may be afoot at Limestone

by Jeff Green he Frontenac County trustees are set to become part of the old guard on the board of trustees for the Limestone District School Board come December 12th.

Suzanne Ruttan easily held off the challenge from Roger Curtis, receiving 3659 votes to 1672 for Curtis, to return to the board for a third term representing the schools in South Frontenac (Harrowsmith, Prince Charles, Loughborough, Perth Road and Sydenham High School). In Central and North Frontenac, Karen McGregor was acclaimed to a second term representing the students at Land O’Lakes, Clarendon Central, North Addington and Granite Ridge.

Roger Curtis was part of a connected group of candidates who campaigned under the banner of #TRUSTee. While he lost out to Ruttan, the group did well in the City of Kingston, elected 5 members to the 9 member board. They ran on a campaign of greater transparency and consultation

T

before the board makes decisions.

The rift that could develop on the board as the result of the election may also have a geographical component. The trustee from Napanee, Laurie French, was re-elected, leaving three of the non-Kingston districts in the hands of the ‘old guard’.

The fourth rural district was the only one that saw the defeat of an incumbent. Wes Garrod was defeated by Robin Hutcheon in Loyalist -Stone Mills, by almost 1,000 votes.

In addition to Hutcheon, #TRUSTee members include: Bob Godkin, Judith Brown and Joy Morning, who were all elected; and Tom Gingrich, who was acclaimed.

One newly elected Trustee, Garrett Elliott, refused to join #TRUSTee when approached. He told Global News that he only “ran to try and make a positive difference to try to help out. I’ve always been involved in school council.”

The new Board of Trustees will take of office on December 12.

Sydenham High School to host OFSAA boys AA volleyball tournament

by Craig Bakay

S

ydenham High School is set to host the 2018 OFSAA boys AA volleyball championships Nov. 22-24, says convenor/coach Bryan English.

“As far as I know, this is the first time Sydenham has hosted an OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) championship,” English said.

Twenty teams will take part in the event, including champions from 18 areas all around Ontario, as well as the host team and one medal entry.

“This is an important championship,” he said. “Only one to two per cent of high school students ever get the chance to compete in OFSAA. And it’s nice that it won’t be held in a big city this year.”

Teams will actually arrive Nov. 21 and there’ll be a banquet at the Ambassador Hotel in Kingston that evening.

The tournament gets underway Nov. 22 beginning with round robin games from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the two courts in Sydenham High, one court at RegiopolisNotre Dame in Kingston and one court at Ernestown Secondary School. The round robin will continue the following day from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Round robin matches are two out of three.

At 4:30 p.m., the consolation and quarter quarterfinals begin with three of five matches.

The semi-finals begin at 9 a.m. on day three with three of five matches. The bronze medal match is scheduled for 3 p.m. and the championship match at 5 p.m. The semi-finals and finals will all be held at Regi due to an OFSAA ceiling height requirement. The main gym at Sydenham doesn’t meet this requirement and the second gym doesn’t have enough spectator room.

English said Sydenham will also be hosting the EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association) championships beginning on Nov. 14.

While, as the host school, the Golden Eagles automatically qualify for the OFSAA tourney, English is hoping that they might get in as EOSSAA champs, in which case, the second-place EOSSAA team would take the host spot.

“Last year, we lost in the semis,” he said. “We have a lot of returning players and they’re hungry. But it will take a lot because there are quite a few competitive AA teams this year.”

English said it’s been a “whole school ef effort” to host these championships this year.

“You can’t do this without a lot of help,” he said. “And all of our matches will be live streamed.”

Admission for the OFSAA tournament is $10 per day or $20 for the tournament.

Remember when ... pot became legal

by Jeff Green t has now been two weeks since marijuana became legal in Canada, and it is also about 10 days, for most Canadians, since the novelty will have worn off. The tv cameras are all gone from the new legal dispensaries, as are the line ups, but apparently not the product shortages. It will take quite a while for the market to settle down and for the positive and negative implications of a relatively free market in cannabis to be established in Canada.

Most of us grew up with cannabis. For those of us who are under 70, marijuana has been a part of our lives since we were teenagers. That could mean anything from smelling it at a party once or twice to smoking on a regular basis for ten, twenty, even fifty years.

One of the outcomes of marijuana use among several generations has been a strained relationship with the law and the police.

I used marijuana as a teenager, pretty heavily at times, and more sporadically until I was somewhere in my 40’s.

I stopped using it because it stopped being something I wanted to do. The fact that it was illegal had nothing to do with starting, my pattern of use, or my decision to stop. But it did, from a young age, make me feel nervous whenever I saw a police car. Was I carrying any? Was there pot in the glove box. All of these issues coloured relationships with the police, as it did for, literally, millions of Canadians, for many years.

Having a set of rules that are reasonably easy to follow regarding when ingesting cannabis is legal, how it can be stored and transported, and grown for personal use, will create a more law-abiding population, instantly. This is one of the biggest changes that took place two weeks ago. And that impact will take time to filter through.

I don’t feel any differently when I see a police car than I did when I might have been in possession of pot. Once

I

that fear and that sense of transgression is set in place, it does not go away. But for some younger Canadians, one reason to live in fear of the police will no longer develop.

I am hopeful that as time goes on, even though governments across the county have a vested interest in taxing marijuana use, the gardeners will win out. Even before the inevitable court challenge against the 4 plant growing limit, the quality and variety of marijuana seed and cloned bedding plants will only increase over time, and the savings that cannabis users will be able to realise by growing a few plants will have an impact.

Big pot, already represented in Canada by four companies, will certainly thrive through the development of new products and the convenience of an increasingly better organised distribution system, but since ‘weed’ is easy to grow and exchange on an informal basis, it will become increasingly popular, as it should.

The prohibition on selling homegrown cannabis products will likely never go away, but over time it will become more like maple syrup. Anyone can tap a few trees and make enough syrup for their own use and to give away to friends, but in order to sell it legally there are rules that need to be followed. That is as much about safety as it is about maintaining a viable price for producers.

Some small-scale syrup producers sell a few jars and make some money doing it, but it is small potatoes and is not policed.

Cannabis may never be like that because of the health risk, but it will change as cannabis settles into its new status, a recreational drug that will come in and out of fashion. And other countries who are looking at the Canadian experience with legalisation, will soon realise that, like same sex marriage, it becomes a non-issue surprisingly quickly.

Now if we could only solve some of the real social, political, environmental and economic issues we are facing,

Mayors all return, but half of county council will be new

by Jeff Green hree of the four Frontenac County Mayors were acclaimed back into office for a new term (Dennis Doyle – Frontenac Islands – 3rd term, Frances Smith, Central Frontenac – 2nd term, and Ron Higgins – North Frontenac – 2nd term) and the fourth, South Frontenac’s Ron Vandewal won re-election for a second term.

They will form the bedrock of the council, but in all likelihood they will be joined by four new members. Natalie Nossal, the 2nd Frontenac Islands rep on the council, did not seek re-election. She will most likely be replaced on county council by Bruce Higgs. Higgs received the most votes in ward 1 (Howe Island) this time around. In Frontenac Islands, the top vote getting councillor from the ward where the mayor does not reside is offered the 2nd county position. Since Dennis Doyle is from Wolfe Islands, it is Higgs position if he wants it. After the 2014 election, newcomer Nossal finished first ahead of David Jones, who had been at the county table for four years.

Jones promptly resigned from Frontenac Island Council and rode into the political sunset. Bruce Higgs was ap-

T

pointed to Frontenac Islands Council to take his place.

In South Frontenac John McDougall did not seek reelection. Tom Dewey was re-elected in Central Frontenac but he told the News he will not be seeking the second Central Frontenac position when the matter comes to the new Central Frontenac Council in early December.

In North Frontenac John Inglis has also indicated he is unlikely to be seeking the county role again after spending 8 years on Frontenac County Council.

In terms of gender balance, there will be 7 women among the 30 members of Council (23%) in the 4 Frontenac Townships. Two of the four are approaching gender parity, Frontenac Islands (2 of 5 – 40%) and Central Frontenac (4 of 9 – 44%), while South Frontenac (1 of 9 -11%) and North Frontenac (0 of 7) drag the overall percentage down.

The 7 women are an increase over the 2014-2018 councils, however. There are only 6 women (20%) of the 30 council members in Frontenac County during the current four-year term.

While the political side of the council tables remains pre-

dominantly male, on the administrative side the situation is different. 3 of the 5 Chief Administrators in Frontenac County are women, and 3 of the 4 Treasurers (Frontenac Islands contracts out its financial services to Frontenac County) are women as well.

In terms of age, people in their 60’s and 70’s predominate on most councils. In Central Frontenac, however, there are at least four members of council who are not of retirement age, which is an exception when you look county wide.

It is more than likely, however, that once the makeup of Frontenac County Council is determined, that it will be entirely made up from the over 60 crowd. This is partly due to the overall demographics of the local councils, but also because it is very difficult for a full time worker to manage both township and county responsibilities.

Op-Ed

The misguided fear surrounding Proportional Representation SINCE 1970

by X.B. Shen recent opinion piece, titled “What history can teach us about proportional representation,” published on September 9 in The Toronto Star, concludes that Proportional Representation (PR) was to blame for the 15 European democracies that fell into dictatorship in history. The basis of this argument was “governments often lacked effectiveness, allowing authoritarians to argue that democracy did not deliver what the country needed. A rapid succession of elections and collapsed coalitions set the stage for a “strong-man” promising stability.”

The article ends, “Before tinkering with our electoral system, Canadians should weigh carefully the risks involved, and remember what happened in Europe.” The article was intended to sway the general public away from supporting PR, especially those in B.C. and Quebec, where a referendum on PR could lead to its being adopted as their provincial electoral system (After the provincial election in Quebec this month, CAQ, which won a majority, has promised to support the electoral change to PR without a referendum).

This article uses tactics of fear and misinformation. First, it should be emphasized that those dictatorships happened during the inter-war era (from 1918 to 1939).

Since then, the world has progressed.

The democracy of then was not the democracy of now, nor was the PR of then the PR of now.

Secondly, because the article stressed to readers what happened in Europe almost a century ago, it conveniently avoids what is happening in the US and Canada in our current time. Democracy in both countries is facing a grave threat. The "greatest democracy” in the world elected Donald Trump through its Electoral College system. The biggest province of the “best country” in the world elected Doug Ford in its first-past-the-post system. Both ran a divisive populist platform. Both have majority power and govern like tyrants.

A

PR has evolved and takes different forms in different countries. The most common ones are Party List PR, the Single Transferable Votes (STV), and Mixed Member Proportional representation (MMP). The pure party-list system can lead to a destabilizing proliferation of small parties, which are able to extract promises from the bigger parties in exchange for joining their coalitions. When promises are broken, the small parties may withdraw from the coalitions, and a new election is triggered. The Toronto Star article uses this as its basis of the argument, and it is misleading.

In contrast, MMP, based on Party List PR, is considered the best PR system. In MMP, voters get two votes: one to decide the representative for their single-seat consituency, and one for a political party.

Seats in the legislature are filled firstly by the successful constituency candidates, and secondly, by party candidates based on the percentage of nationwide or regionwide votes that each party receives.

A 2014 article in Vox discussed “3 reasons why New Zealand has the best-designed government in the world” (https://www.vox. com/platform/amp/2014/9/23/6831777/ new-zealand-electoral-system-constitution-mixed-member-unicameral).

New Zealand is using the MMP system, with a twist of its own. The result is, the major parties rarely get an outright majority, but have enough ideological allies in smaller parties to form a government. Since New Zealand adopted the MMP from the firstpast-the-post system in 1996, there have been 8 general elections coinciding with its 3 year election cycle. No election was

Central Frontenac Council – October 22

Council approves commission of fire station location study, and beginning of fire master plan

by Craig Bakay

C

entral Frontenac Council approved a recommendation by Manager of Emergency Services/Fire Chief Greg Robinson to amend the Fire Bylaw as recommended in the Fire & Rescue Phase Two Operational and Organizational Review at its regular meeting evening in Sharbot Lake.

Specifically, Robinson asked Council to have a fire station location study done; develop a master plan for Council’s approval; include gaps/risks identified in the phase two operational and organizational review that have not been mitigated to be addressed in that master plan; fully support the implementation of changes resulting from the operational and organizational review; and keep Council informed on the implementation of changes resulting from the phase two operational and organizational review.

Robinson said that there was $25,000 in the budget to be used for the station location study and master plan.

Coun. John Purdon said that the master plan should also have prevention and protection in addition to the word fire in the title.

But Purdon also questioned the need for a fire station location study.

“We have three fairly new stations and I can’t see wanting to relocate those,” Pur-

don said. “How big a study do we need for our four stations and two substations?”

“We did our own study and there was a possibility to combine Arden and Mountain Grove,” Robinson said. “But we don’t have the data we need.”

Coun. Brent Cameron went even further, questioning the scope of the phase two operational and organizational review, a rather large document presented to Council at the May 22 regular Council meeting that contained 142 “gaps” the fire chief said needed addressing.

“I’m not trying to be difficult,” Cameron said. “But the province has rescinded some of the requirements, gaps, that study identified. feel like we’ve been given a large number of recommendations (142) and been told to take it or leave it.

“I’m not comfortable with this and would like to see a less ambitious document — one that gives the retention of personnel higher priority.”

Robinson responded that the master plan isn’t yet completed and “only five recommendations are being asked for tonight.”

While that might be technically true, one of the recommendations is that Council give its full support to the “implementation of required changes resulting from the phase two

operational and organizational review.”

Another recommendation is those changes be included in the fire master plan.

Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey suggested they wait to pass the resolution until the new Council but Mayor Frances Smith said she was fine with the resolution as is.

“There are seven of us who have been through it,” she said.

Winter Maintenance contracts Council approved acting Public Works Manager Dave Armstrong’s recommendation that they accept contractors’ bids for winter road maintenance in Area 1 and Area 2 and do the snow removal, sanding/ salting in house for Area 3 and Area 4.

Armstrong said in his report that based on historical invoices for 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 winter seasons, the Township would be spending about $287,500 annually for Areas 1 and 2 to be serviced leaving a surplus of about $137,500 from the

budgeted amount for equipment rental, additional equipment maintenance and repair, and future considerations for equipment purchasing and/or rental.

Essentially, the Township will be paying $2,723.22 for each snow/sleet/freezing rain event in Area 1 and $1,751.59 in Area 2. He said he hasn’t had enough experience yet to estimate what it will cost the Township to do Areas 3 and 4 itself.

Henderson Road Culvert Council awarded the Henderson Road Culvert tender to Crains’ Construction Ltd. for $191,110 not including HST. The budget for the job was $200,000.

Acting Public Works Manager David Armstrong said he’d work with the contractor to get the work done as soon as possible and minimize traffic disruption.

He estimated there would be “about four days” of traffic disruption as it is a rather large culvert.

Diabetes awareness month

N

ovember is Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14 is World Diabetes Day. To raise awareness of diabetes and share information on best management, the Sharbot Family Health Team Diabetic Education Team (Cathy Fox, Certified Diabetes Educator, Registered Nurse and Saman Shaikh, Certified Diabetes Educator, Registered Dietitian) will be contributing weekly articles during the month of November Currently diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions as one in three Canadians is living with diabetes or prediabetes and an estimated 1.5 million are living with undiagnosed diabetes.

There isn’t a cure yet for diabetes but maintaining a healthy lifestyle can reduce its impact on your life. What you do every day makes a difference: eating healthily, staying physically active, taking medicines if prescribed, and keeping health care appointments to stay on track.

There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (diabetes while pregnant).

With type 1 diabetes, your body can’t make insulin (a hormone that acts like a key to let blood sugar into cells for use as energy), so you need to take it every day. Type 1 diabetes is less common than type 2 diabetes; 5% of the people who have diabetes have type 1. Currently, no one knows how to prevent type 1 diabetes.

Most people with diabetes—9 out of 10—have type 2 diabetes. With type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t use insulin well and is unable to keep blood sugar at normal levels. If you have any of the risk factors below, ask your doctor if you should be tested for diabetes. The sooner you find out, the sooner you can start making healthy changes that will benefit you now and in the future.

Type 2 diabetes risk factors include: having prediabetes (blood sugar levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes); being overweight; being 45 years or older; having a parent, brother, or sister with type 2 diabetes; being physically active less than 3 times a week; ever having gestational diabetes or giving birth to a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds.

The Canadian Diabetic Association encourages everyone to visit www. Diabetestest.ca to take the online CANRISK test and learn their risk level for developing type 2 diabetes.

submitted by the Sharbot Lake Famly Health Team

You’ve been diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes.

Now what?

Managing diabetes or prediabetes is a balancing act— food, activity, medicine, and blood sugar levels—but you can do it. Meeting with a certified diabetes educator is a great way to get support and guidance, including how to: follow a healthy eating plan; get physically active; test your blood sugar; give yourself insulin by syringe, pen, or pump, if needed; monitor your feet, skin and eyes to catch problems early; get diabetes supplies and store them according to package directions; manage stress and deal with daily diabetes care.

What is a Certified Diabetes Educator?

Certified Diabetes Educators play a significant role in managing Diabetes. A Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) is a licensed health care professional, such as a nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, who specializes in helping people with diabetes learn how to manage their condition. The counselling and support that CDEs provide is known as diabetes education or diabetes self-management. To certify, the diabetes educator must pass a national exam that certifies them with the Canadian Diabetes Educator Certification Board. Recertification is done every 5 years to maintain the status of

he Clar-Mill Community Archives’ latest project is cataloguing North Frontenac’s cemeteries and as such coordinator Brenda Martin was at North Frontenac’s regular Council meeting last Friday in Plevna to outline how they plan to go about it.

One of the first mysteries to unravel will be the determination of the oldest cemetery in North Frontenac,” Martin said. “Until a recent find, Playfair Cemetery was recorded as the oldest.

Perhaps it is the oldest ‘registered’ cemetery.”

Watkins Cemetery (Lot 20 NER, Clarendon) on private land was recently identified and markers and historical writings would place this as the oldest cemetery in the Township with graves dating to 1862 when Bramwell Watkins had Pierpont dig a grave for his brother, Delany, who drowned in Fawn Lake on Sept. 21, 1860.

Currently, there are 13 cemeteries recognized in North Frontenac including (Ardoch) Plevna Community Cemetery, Ardoch United Church Cemetery, Cloyne Pioneer Cemetery, Dempsey Cemetery, Donaldson (Mundell) Cemetery, Grindstone (Playfair) Cemetery, Harlowe United Church Cemetery, Ompah Cemetery, Robertsville Cemetery, Sproule Family Burial, St. John’s Anglican Cemetery, St. Killian’s Catholic Cemetery and St. Mark’s Anglican (Harlowe).

“We’re looking for input (from Council) as to what to do next,” Martin said. “We want a summer student, and we have people who are willing to help.

“But there’s an inconsistent numbering system and improvements needed to the website link.”

She said there’s been a drone survey of the Robertsville Cemetery done as a pilot project and they’d like to explore doing more of that.

“But we need a Township letter of support for our grant application and after that our biggest issue would be summer students and office space for them to work in.”

“Right now we’ve got a lot of old tombstones that lawnmowers are running over,” said Coun. Gerry Martin. “And some of those old Ardoch tombstones date back to the 1880s.

“We need to look at getting them fixed.”

“I think this is an extremely worthwhile project,” said Coun.

Vernon Hermer.

As per the Township procedural bylaw, the allocation of funds and resources was deferred until the next regular meeting. $7,200 washroom study

“Certified” Diabetes Educator (CDE).

CDEs assist people with diabetes or prediabetes with self-management by offering evidence-based guidance to diabetes care. CDEs collaborate with the physician or nurse practitioner using the 2018 Diabetes Canada Guidelines to follow you in such areas as monitoring of blood glucose, medications, reducing risk of complications, monitoring of blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, feet, eyes and exercise. In your diabetes visit, the CDE will discuss your needs and goals, provide tracking tools to help you monitor your diabetes and answer any questions you may have.

Ask your health care provider about diabetes self-management education and support and to recommend a diabetes educator.

The Sharbot Lake Family Health Team has a Diabetic Team that includes 2 Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) who work closely with the rest of the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team health care providers to help you achieve the best health possible. Please call the clinic at 613-279-2100 for more information.

If you are a patient at the Sydenham, Verona, or Northbrook clinics, contact the clinic for the services offered at those locations.

Bruce

In loving memory of my dear wife, Joan who passed away November 1, 2003.

My life goes on without you And nothing is the same I have to hold the heartache When someone speaks your name.

Sad is my heart that loves you Silent the tears that fall Living my life without you Is the hardest part of all.

You were always there for me Your heart so kind and true, And when I ever needed something I always counted on you.

Our special years will not return When you and I were together But with the love within my heart I’ll walk with you forever.

Always loved, Jack and children xoxo

by Pam Giroux acing retirement is a very timely topic of conversation for those of us 50 and older. Canadian playwright, Michael Wilmott, has chosen retirement and what that all means to us as the theme for his comedy “ A Red Plaid Shirt”.

The situations in the play revolve around two couples who have been friends for years. The women, Deb and Gladys, seem to have accepted this change in their life path with relative ease. Their husbands, Marty and Fred, however, are not finding it quite so easy; in fact, at times they seem lost at sea. Therein lies the humour in this delightful Canadian Comedy.

Marty, searching for a purpose, thinks he would like to buy a motorcycle and explore the open road. His buddy, Fred, has become a lot more introspective and now spends his time worrying about his health, checking his symptoms on his lap top. The two friends at the urging of their spouses decide to take a woodworking class at the High School together rather than face a “honey do” list prepared by their wives.

The woodworking shop provides many comedic scenes between the two friends that will surely keep audiences in stitches.

Rehearsals have been underway since

Baked goods go quickly at Women’s Institute sale W

by Craig Bakay

ith more than an hour to go, the baked goods were down to a precious few at the Sydenham Women’s Institute Craft and Bake Sale Saturday at the Grace Centre in Sydenham.

They’d started the morning with three full tables and now they were down to less than half a table. The Girl Guides had already sold out at this point.

“It’s been busy,” said organizer Linda Bates. “It’s been one of those days but I’m OK with that.”

There were 20 vendors this year, plus the Girl Guides and the WI had five tables.

“I love it,” said Bates while tying Christmas ribbons for a customer. “I used to come to this 15 years ago before I was

a vendor.

“One guy said he comes every year just to get his fudge.”

Others came for other crafts, baked goods, a hot lunch of soup or chilli and Bates said there’s another reason.

“Everything here is home made and that draws a lot of people,” she said. “But for me it’s also about just having the community come in for a chat.”

The WI holds two craft/bake sales a year. The 2019 spring event is scheduled for May 27.

“Every vendor except two have said they’re coming back,” said Bates.

Jessalyn Wagar and Morgan Menard of Out of the Woods Verona and Matthew Crossman and Andrea Potter (“a mother-son team”) of The Glass Shack in Elginburg were two new vendors at the Sydenham Women’s Institute craft and bake sale Saturday at the Grace Centre in Sydenham

Frontenac Farmers Market ends season on a chilly dark day

by Craig Bakay es, surprisingly enough, we don’t plan to come out next week in the cold,” Frontenac Farmers Market director Laura Simmons said last Saturday as the Market closed for the season.

Even though is was a chilly day with overcast skies, the rain held off in the morning and there were a number of customers for those vendors that braved the weather.

“It’s OK,” said Simmons. “There’s not much on my table this week.”

One vendor who did still have some produce was Mike Janssens, who had

several varieties of “antique” apples and did a rather brisk business.

Janssens dressed in the Halloween spirit with a Napoleonic era British redcoat uniform and greatcoat.

“A couple of other vendors told me they’d be dressing up,” he said. “They didn’t.”

But it worked out, he said.

“The uniform gives me the opportunity to showcase the antique varieties,” he said. “Such as Talman Sweets (1850s), Northern Spies (1870s) and Russetts (mid-1700s).

“These are a friend’s apples as our 400 trees are still a bit young.

“But you’ve got to get people to try these varieties.”

For Simmons, it’s now time to get things ready for the Christmas Market they put on in conjunction with Prince Charles Public School Dec.8.

“There will be 60-65 vendors and it will be an opportunity to come out and do some Christmas shopping,” she said.

This was Simmons’ first year as market director and she said she’ll likely hang on to the job next year.

“We’ll be 14 next year, actually one of the longer running markets around,” she said. “This year was actually a very good year and we’re very pleased with the traffic, community support and all the cottagers that came out.

“We’re growing and plan more events like music and the EarlyON/ Library puppet show was a wonderful pairing.

“For me, I like feeding people healthy food — Mike Janssens of Janssens Fresh Produce sports a British red- I’ve been doing it for 45 coat from the Napoleonic era while promoting his antique apple years — and I like the sovarieties. cializing.”

South Frontenac Council report - continued from page 7 study for accessible washrooms at the Snow Road Hall.

But it wasn’t a unanimous decision.

Mayor Ron Higgins cast the deciding vote (there were only five Council members in attendance) agreeing with Dep. Mayor Fred Perry and Coun. Gerry Martin. Coun. Vernon Hermer and John Inglis voted against.

“I’d like to go on record as protesting against this,” said Inglis. “I don’t understand why you have to hire an engineering firm to wire a bathroom.”

“I agree with you,” said manager of community development Corey Klatt. “It’s over the top. But it’s required because of the (accessibility) renovation.”

Firearms bylaw revfiew?

Mayor Ron Higgins gave notice that he’d like to review the firearms bylaw next meeting.

“We got complaints from a couple of residents,” he said. “People are hunting too close to homes.”

“The squirrels are going to be happy if I can’t shoot any more of them,” said Coun.

Gerry Martin.

Trucking through Ompah Coun. John Inglis gave notice of motion to discuss options for reducing the speed of heavy trucks and cars through Ompah.

“Apparently there are large trucks coming through at 4:30 a.m. and we got complaints from a couple of residents,” he
