Arden Legion goes above and beyond call of duty for Remembrance Day by Craig Bakay

O

ne thing many people who attended Remembrance Day ceremonies in our area may not be aware of is just how busy a time it is for local Legion branches. In addition to officiating at the actual service (which they refer to as protocol), which entails things like arranging for a colour party and getting flags, gear and bodies to the appointed cenotaph, there are a myriad of tasks to be performed beforehand such as getting poppies into stores and such, printing programs, inviting special guests and current serving units of the Canadian Armed Forces as well as the various and sundry things that pop up at the last minute. After the ceremonies, there is the traditional meal and fellowship at the Legion and cleaning up at the cenotaphs. When the Northbrook Branch 328 closed in July of 2017, it left a gap. That gap was filled by Arden Branch 334. The Arden branch has always been responsible for Remembrance Day services in Arden and Mountain Grove, but with the demise of the Northbrook branch, it now has the added responsibility for services in Denbigh and Flinton, as well as logistical support for the services in Plevna. Wayne Marsh, former president of the Northbrook branch who now serves in Tweed Branch 428, returned on Monday to serve as Sergeant at Arms and organizer. But much of the pre-

Remembrance Day duties fell to Arden. But, as Arden President Dave Moore said after the Arden and Mountain Grove services on Sunday, it’s not a burden and something the branch is prepared to continue on with for as long as it’s necessary. “It’s a 300-kilometre road trip,” said Moore. “Most of it is done by Ken Scobie.. “I used to meet him in Griffith during moose hunting to plan it out (but) it’s all got to be planned out and you can’t do it in one day.” Hence, Remembrance Day services in Flinton and Denbigh are held on Nov. 10 (Denbigh at the traditional 11 a.m. for the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the First World War officially ended and Flinton at 1 p.m.). Services in Plevna are held Nov. 12 at 11 a.m. “It generally starts the first week of October and I make about 400,000 phone calls,” Scobie said. “If you want to lay a wreath, send me an email. “I carry the wreaths in my truck and Dave carries the flags in his car. It’s about getting all your ducks in a row.” They do it in all kinds of weather too. Last year, it rained mercilessly during the Flinton ceremony. “And it was pretty cold in Denbigh Saturday morning,” said Moore. “But we can’t complain because soldiers in war have had to endure all sorts of bad weather.”

Legion Branch 425 President June Crawford kept a silent vigil while Mike Procter played The Last Post in the Sharbot Lake ceremonies.

Poppies and wreaths at the Plevna Cenotaph following the ceremony on Monday.

Remembrance Day in Verona by Jeff Green few short years ago, the Remembrance Day ceremony in Verona was almost shifted to Prince Charles Public School from the Cenotaph at McMullen Park, but the insistence and the efforts of a small group of people kept the ceremony in the Park. There was a meeting at the cenotaph around the first of November that year. A half a dozen people were at the meeting, discussing where to hold the service, and there was some heated discussion before a consensus emerged to keep it at the cenotaph. There were not that many people at the ceremony that year, but every year since then, the assembly has grown. This year was the largest ever, marking the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1. The Girl Scouts were on hand, singing. Local clergy, fresh from a combined religious service at the Free Methodist Church, were there as well, as was MP Scott Reid, representing

the Government of Canada. He chose to come to Verona over the dozens of services he could have attended throughout the sprawling Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding that he represents. A large contingent of military and ex-military were also there, forming a long line-up at the end of the ceremony to place their poppies on the wreaths in

front of the Cenotaph. By the time the lone piper departed the scene, signalling the end of the ceremony, the cold November air and sombre tone of the service had relented just a bit. Just about everyone who had been at that meeting a few years ago was on hand, playing their part in making the ceremony a tribute to the veterans, and to the local community.

Wayne Orr ‘anticipated’ to retire

South Frontenac Council by Wilma Kenny

L

ast week was the final meeting of the 2015-18 South Frontenac Council. December 4th will be the inaugural meeting of the new Council when the Councillors will be sworn in, and begin carrying out their duties. However, this particular group will be better prepared for the challenges of the next four years than any previous one. Lured by a light supper, they met this last Tuesday at 5:30 for an intensive orientation to their new roles and responsibilities. The agenda began with iPad training, contact information, roles and responsibilities, township organizational chart and other such useful information, winding up with a primer on taxation and budget. In the middle of the agenda, under ‘Initial Decisions’ is a list of some of the items to be addressed at the first December meeting. The next-to-last item, just above Cannabis, is the bombshell: “Retirement of Chief Administrative Officer and Recruitment Process: It is anticipated that Wayne Orr, CAO will be submitting a notice of his plan to retire at the end of July. Council will need to determine a process for recruitment.” As stated earlier in the meeting, the CAO is responsible for the effective administration of all township operations by acting as a liaison between Council and staff and by coordinating activities between departments. During his time with South Frontenac, Orr has been instrumental in assisting Council to: achieve full amalgamation of the four districts; develop a budget process that is thorough and timely; make Council meetings more businesslike and accessible, and build a prosperous Township with a reasonable taxation rate. Residents who come to meetings are able to hear what the individual councillors are saying, and are provided with specific information on a screen about each issue being discussed. Council no longer wastes meeting time reviewing the various cattle losses to predators, approving the provincial remunerations one at a time… Orr is responsible for initiating this orientation process, and the one planned for November 27, an intro-

Central Frontenac Council report

Central Frontenac Council approves renovations to Piccadilly Hall SINCE 1970

by Craig Bakay

E

ven though the quote for renovations to Piccadilly Hall came in about $1,900 over the budgeted amount of $34,000, Central Frontenac Council voted to go ahead with the project at its regular meeting Tuesday night at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. And it also agreed to kick in an additional $1,600 to have the heaters rewired so they can be operated from a wall-mounted control at the recommendation of acting Chief Building Official Alan Revill. Revill told Council that the lowest bid came from Wemp & Smith at $35,898 to strip out lathe & plaster, replace windows, replace deteriorated framing, reinsulate walls and apply new drywall and trim. The other bid, from Men in White Designed Interiors, was $46,095.40. Revill said he has worked with Wemp & Smith many times in the past. Revill said that, during the tender process, it was noted that an electrician would be required to disconnect the electric baseboard heaters prior to removing the wall surfaces and as such, he recommended that this would be a good opportunity to improve the heating system as well. “Those heaters are currently controlled by individual unit thermostats located on the baseboard at the floor level,” Revill said. “So there is often uneven heating and there are risks that a unit may be accidentally left on. “The CBO is recommending to have an electrician from our vendor of record list rewire the heating units to be controlled by wall-mounted thermostats (which will be) much easier to control heating of the building and more convenient for users.”

Used truck on order Council approved purchasing a used single-axle 5-ton plow truck along with two additional sanding units and other miscellaneous items to take on the 40 additional kilometers of roads the Public Works department will be responsible for clearing this winter after the Township decided not to tender out two areas. Works garage renovation ‘fell through the3 cracks” In 2018, $80,000 was budgeted to renovate two public works garages but the work was not begun this year. Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey said he’d support the move but was disappointed and surprised that the renovations “fell through the cracks. “I feel it’s important for employee moral to have a decent lunchroom and kitchen,” he said. “That will be in the budget for next year,” said Mayor Frances Smith. Selling tanker Council approved declaring a tanker from the Arden station surplus and being sold. Dep. Fire Chief Jamie Riddell said Arden still has one large tanker and a smaller one which should be sufficient. “The big thing is cost,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “It’s reached the point do I fix it or not.” New shed for Mountain Grove rink Council approved $6,000 for the purchase of an 8’ X 14’ storage shed (with insulation, lights and heat) for the District 2 (Olden) rink in Mountain Grove. The District 2 rec committee had been using the old fire building to store equipment but the fire department has said it also needs the building for storage. Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey said he’d re-

ceived an email from the treasurer saying that the money would likely come out of the year-end budget surplus. “It’s always been understood that it would be part of the rec committee’s budget but at any rate, they won’t be asked to fundraise for it,” said Mayor Frances Smith. Road 38 to close for parade Council approved closing Road 38 from Elizabeth Street north to Elizabeth Street South Dec. 1 for its annual Santa Claus Parade. Fire Chief Greg Robinson expressed some concern over liability in the case of an emergency with respect to response time. “I’ve been doing these parades for 30 years and there’s never been an emergency,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “Although I’m not saying it couldn’t happen.” Coun. Bill MacDonald expressed similar sentiments. Smith said the annual Tichborne to Parham Santa Claus Parade will be re-

placed this year by a children’s party at the fire hall, likely Dec. 2. Road 38 will be closed through Sharbot Lake from about 1 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. Construction value to flirt with $10 million mark With construction value for the year to date at $9,020,226, acting CBO Alan Revill described as a “robust” year in building activity. This compares with $7,991,860 through the first ten months of 2017 and $7,386,759 through the first ten months of 2016. “This includes single family units and things like garages and decks,” Revill said. Permit fees are also up to $126,857, bringing the building department closer to breaking even. “This shows good growth over three years and is a positive thing for the community,” said Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey.

Letters Re fire department

T

he Sharbot Lake Fire Department embarrasses self by extinguishing 3 small fires in no danger of escape. On October 24 the Sharbot Lake Fire Department responded with the Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Riddell and 3 firefighters and a pumper to 3 small fires on my property on the 509 highway. The day before I took out a permit to burn brush piles as the fire ban was off, the temperature forecast was 3C and no wind. The fires were in the open with no material to burn other than the piles. They burned well and next morning at 7:30am I assessed that 2 were completely out and one had a hot spot. I decided that by replying by hand and using a rake I could build 3 piles no larger than 3’X3’, entirely within the previously burned area, which I did and lit them and let them burn knowing by noon that they would be burned out. These are piles that were of a size that if I had a hot dog on a stick I would have been legal on the bylaw or if I waited until 2 hours before sundown to light would have met the bylaw’s ridiculous requirements. Someone saw the smoke and decided that I was in contravention of the bylaw,

they won’t admit who made the complaint. I hope it isn’t someone that would benefit by sending the fire department out to extinguish these fires at my expense. I have taken photos of the extinguished fires using an 8‘ 2X4 as a reference for size as well as a photo of the water source I had available if needed. At no time was there any danger of escape and I was present but not sitting on the fire, but was cutting firewood within 100 metes. I urge council to update the bylaw to reflect practical common sense provisions so that this doesn’t happen again. When you read the stats of the fire department, you can delete this one as unnecessary. Sincerely,

VISITOR’S GUIDE

while the bells tolled out in the clear night sky...well 69 times, unfortunately the rope broke, we had to improvise by borrowing Will & Melody Cooke's "Hand held Hug" Bell. These bell chimes were rung to remind all of the 100th Anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the fighting of the First World War... the Great One, Royal Canadian Legion in partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada, hoped that bells all across Canada as well as in Mons, Belgium, the final town liberated by the Canadian Corps in 1918, would ring out loud and clear on the night of Nov. 11. The joy and relief that must have been felt when the war ended, after a war that was so bloody and destructive with so many lives lost. Many of the dead were so very young. Chris Bertrim started the service with prayers as Doris Campsall lit candles, symbolizing the lives lost and the hope for peace evermore. Each of the 5 bellringers rang the bell for 20 times, for a total of 100.... one chime for every year. Gor Gordon Bertrim, rang the bell in memory of his Father Private James (Jim) Bertrim of the 146 battalion. Donna Fox rang the bell in memory of her grandfather Private John (Jack) Campsall of the 20th Canada Infantry. Bernie Quinn pulled the bell for the Volunteer fire fighters Keith Steele had the honour of ringing it for the Parham United as did May Walton for the Parham Free Methodist Church. The service ended in prayer led by Pastor Ken Walton. He prayed for all those who had served in the Canadian Forces and for all those who continue to defend the peace and freedom we enjoy today and asked that the bodies, minds and souls of those who have been wounded in their efforts be healed. There were some interesting conversations before and after the service. Gordon Bertrim is the last survivor of the list of veterans on the Tichborne United Church's roster (there is no roster in the Parham United Church) Mary Howes’ inlaws (Earl & Eva Howes) had donated the bell to the church. Keith remembered hearing of his uncle Clifford Steele being made Sargeant just days before he was killed. Will & Melody Cooke reminisced about Mel's father, Art Goodfellow, going to the Remembrance Day services with his comrade Ken Hollywood. Dan Hayes, grandson of Ed Hayes who was a veteran, volunteered to fix the bell. Don Ball, son of Gordon Ball, also a veteran who recently passed away, rode his bike to the service, from Ball Point. Also in attendance as well as those mentioned above were John & Michael Morrow. A big thank you to Mary Howes who organized this service. Coffee and sweets ended the evening.

What’s New Leaf Link (NeLL) been up to in 2018? N

ew Leaf Link is a grassroots organization that serves developmentally disabled adults in South Frontenac. NeLL champions the interests and abilities of participants in Arts, Healthy Living, and Community Participation. NeLL is a friendship project whose mission is to recognize, extend, and support participants’ special interests in an environment that fosters long-term relationships. NeLL is incredibly grateful to operate from the Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church from 9:30 am - 2:30 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, from September to June. 2018 has been an exciting year for our small organization. On September 22, New Leaf Link received the County of Frontenac's 2018 Access Award, presented at the annual Warden's Reception in North Frontenac. This spring we began training with Sensei Marty Tucker from the Academy of Martial Arts in Sydenham. In June, Artists Nicholas Steiner Bell & Keifer Blight displayed their work at the Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning in The City of Kingston as part of the Artistic

Futures program. This program is facilitated by Gabriel Deerman of Salmon River Studios in Lennox and Addington County in partnership with New Leaf Link. In August and September, NeLL members were grateful recipients of cheque presentations from a private donor and Norwex Canada Foundation. Two community fundraisers for the New Leaf Link program were held at Trousdale’s Foodland in Sydenham and Verona Foodland in May and September. Our participants will benefit so much from the generosity of our community! What amazing support we received for the New Leaf Link end of year Open House on June 7! So many people turned out! Our Christmas Open House/Fundraiser will be held on Thursday, December 6 from 11 – 2 at the Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church.

Vital Volunteers – one the 50 over 50 award winning businesses

A

rt Dunham is a committed environmentalist and volunteer on Big Clear Lake, which borders the hamlet of Arden. He has been involved with the Big Clear Lake Association, Scouts, the Frontenac Environmental Partnership, and Friends of Arden. His other life has been in IT. He worked for Nortel when the company was a giant in the telecommunications industry in Canada, and eventually was working with Avaya, which had purchased Nortel’s remaining assets in 2009 after Nortel’s spectacular failure and demise. Art kept working at Avaya until he was downsized out of job in 2013. “At age 53, I wasn’t ready to retire. As part of my volunteer work, I had developed software that helped me do the associated day-to-day tasks easier and faster. I knew other volunteers running similar associations were facing the same challenges and would benefit from these solutions as well. It was time to give back to the community and help others, as well as generate some extra income to bridge the gap until my regular retirement age. Those were the incentives that led to the creation of Vital Volunteers Inc. later that same year,� he said of his decision to combine two of his passions, lake association work and communications technology. Vital Volunteers has been developed for lake Associations and other not-for-profit groups that deal with a similar set of problems: communicating with association members, collecting fees, maintaining financial records in a timely manner, and promoting events. “We help those tireless volunteers running the executive of community-based associations, societies, clubs and notfor-profit with cloud based solutions for member management, communication, events, online payments, and more. This makes them more efficient and effective, freeing up their volunteers to focus on their organization’s mission, rather than updating spreadsheets for member contact information, donations, dues etc.

Our solutions also help to make information more readily available via the Cloud, as well as enhancing direct communication to an organization’s members. Getting these administrative type tasks done, without burning out your volunteers, is vital for any community-based organization,� he said. Over the last five years, Vital Volunteers has been fine tuning its service offerings based on Dunham’s experience with the Big Clear Lake Association and other clients “Our solutions continue to evolve, and our customers love it,� he said. “Before they used several different 3rd party software packages and now they can just use ours. Additionally, we have been able to deliver custom solutions to their individual problems that go beyond administrative boundaries such as BioBlitz tracking, interactive lake buoy mapping, revenue generating Business Directory and online community hall rentals.� Vital Volunteers was recently recognised for its innovative approach to communications by the WISE 50 over 50 annual awards program. WISE, which stands for Wisdom-Initiative-Skills-Experience is a website and awards program that was developed by Wendy Mayhew, a senior’s entrepreneurship researcher and promoter. The 50 over 50 awards program recognises innovators in what it calls the “newest and fastest growing segment of entrepreneurship, led by people over the age of 50.� The program is now two years old, and has been steadily increasing its profile. “Winning this award gives me a boost by showing me that others see the value in what I am doing. I can use it as another tool in marketing my service to lake associations and other groups who are looking to make it easier to manage their operations and recruit members and volunteers,� he said.

folks continue to hunt, visit, eat, or as we say enjoy the three most important things in life “hunt, trap, fish!” The snow enabled easier tracking of the prey, so our hunters are happy as they go up and down the roadsides and into the bush. Not everyone is happy- since the hunters still haven't had a shower or used soap so as to not alert the deer! • Someone in our area got a telephone call scam and found it disturbing, but at least didn't respond. Also folks are reminded to take the keys out of their vehicles and to keep them locked, as one green vehicle was stolen due to keys left in it. • Remembrance Day passed with many Cenotaph celebrations, memories shared, and bells rung at churches across Canada.

On October 3, Christine Steele Teal approached us to tell us a group of people in the community wanted to do something for Ann. Chris got the ball rolling. She gave us a few ideas to think about like a ball tournament or supper. She asked what Ann’s favorite food was, which was spaghetti. So a spaghetti dinner was planned. On November 3, 2018, this dinner was held at GREC together with the help of many volunteers to many to name. Ann decided she wanted to put in an appearance and was amazed at the turn out. We are so fortunate and thankful to live in such a caring and supportive community. Special thanks to all who brought items for the raffles and auction and to all for the donations and the much appreciated food. Thanks again. David and Ann Goodfellow

ichelle Allen didn’t expect to follow in her father’s footsteps, but here she is, working in wood (albeit with a different twist). Her dad, George, is a local woodworker, creating cabinets and furniture and such. “Dad is my woodcutter and he does the staining,” she said. “So, I guess I am keeping up a family tradition although it was never intended, it just happened.” Allen makes signs and things through her company, Backyard Country Creations. She holds sign making classes and does custom decor work. She’s been doing it for about three years now although she could never have predicted this would become her vocation. “Never in a million years,” she said laughing. “My artistic background is photography.” Be that as it may, she’s become pretty handy at painting signs on stained wooden boards and more importantly, guiding others through the process with her classes. The process is relatively simple. She has “about 100 to 150” sign stencils to choose from depending on the season. Once the stencil is chosen, it’s attached to a wooden board and the letters/symbols removed. Then acrylic paint is applied and a variety of techniques used depending on the desired finished product. “It’s like applying nail polish,” she said. “Multiple thin coats.” But there’s another aspect to the classes. “I feel it’s a really good opportunity to meet lots of people,” she said. “I’ve met a lot of people from working at Cardinal Cafe. “I started holding classes as a ‘night out’ for people but the fundraising aspect of it

by Craig Bakay

has really skyrocketed.” Which brings us to last Friday night’s class at Oso Hall. “Rural Frontenac Community Services (RFCS) contacted me,” she said. “I’ve done some other fundraisers, like for St. Andrews.” In fact, one of her students on this night was Louise Moody, RFCS executive director. “RFCS is raising funds toward the United Way Kingston, Frontenac Lennox & Addington Campaign,” she said. “It’s very fun and I’m making a gift for my new grandchild.” Allen does a variety of items, including mugs and such. This past summer Smart’s Marina contacted her about putting some merchandise in their store and she said that worked out quite well. But it’s clear she enjoys the classes and fundraisers. There was a wide range of ages in the Friday night class. Allen recommends that kids be at least around 11 years old and/ or be supervised by an adult because of “I did one for a gymnastics club in Perth and had about 10 kids,” she said. “I haven’t done a birthday party yet, but I’ll consider it.” The class on this night was predominantly female but Allen had an explanation for that. “It’s hunting season,” she joked. “All the guys around here are gone.” But she’s just fine with a girls night out class. “Get your girlfriends together, a bottle of wine and we’ll do it,” she said. You can contact Allen through her Backwoods Country Creations Facebook page.

Getting the Most from Your Diabetes Visit

Submitted by the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team (November is Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14 is World Diabetes Day. To raise awareness of diabetes and to provide information on best management, the Sharbot Family Health Team Diabetes 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.) id you know that a little preparation before your diabetes visit will help you get the most out of the appointment? According the Diabetes Canada, preparation for your diabetes-focused visit ensures you are prepared and know what to expect. Diabetes Canada and your Certified Diabetes educator have a few sugges-

D

tions that will help you get the most out of your visit. Try to have your blood work done before the appointment. This helps the doctor and the Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) focus on the next steps in the organization of your diabetes care- including medication addition or change in dose. Bring along your blood sugar log book or the actual meter. Your CDE likes to review your numbers to see if there are any adjustments that can be made. You can also bring along your updated list of medications to ensure the medical records are the same. Identify your goals. What do you want to get out of this visit? What are you trying to achieve? You most likely have good diabetes management at the top of the list, but there may be other topics you want to discuss, such as weight loss, becom-

ing more active, learning to cook healthy meals or even becoming more involved with your community. Bringing a list of written questions to your visit ensures all your concerns are addressed. Your concerns are important! Bring along a family member or friend for support. Sometimes two sets of ears are better then one! Maybe the family member or friend can take brief notes for you to review after the visit is over. And finally, to achieve the most from your diabetes appointment, be honest with yourself and the CDE. We are here to help, not pass judgement. Discuss any possible barriers in your life, such as limited finances, or fears about diabetes. Your CDE can work with you to find a solution that is beneficial to you. Over time, the small changes that you have incorporated into your lifestyle will lead to sustainable

diabetes control. Remember, diabetes management is a lifelong process with ups and downs. A good working relationship with your CDE will help you in your journey through this process to achieve your goals. The Sharbot Lake Family Health Team has hosted a Diabetes Education Program since 2006. Two on site full time Certified Diabetes Educators work closely with the other health care professionals to provide care to approximately 500 patients with diabetes or prediabetes in the community. (Cathy Fox and Saman Shaikh are both Certified Diabetes Educators and can help you learn how to best manage your diabetes or pre-diabetes. Please call the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team at 613-279-2100 to book an appointment to discuss your diabetes.)

Nicole’s gifts Remembrance Day in Harrowsmith Christmas For Kids O by Craig Bakay or the past nine years, Nicole Van Camp has had a Christmas tradition of her own. She opens her store, Nicole’s Gifts in Verona on a Friday evening, which she calls an Open House, and a portion of the profits goes to the Verona Community Association’s Christmas For Kids campaign. “Because I’m on the committee, I have a pretty good idea of what’s needed,” she said. “We make sure every kid gets new clothing, socks, underwear, pajamas, a toy, a book and toiletries.” She said the open house “usually raises enough to shop for two to

three children.” And she’ll keep taking donations until Christmas. “There’s a donation bin at the hardware store but I’m happy to take new toys, clothing, books, and toiletries here,” she said. “It frees up funds for lastminute emergencies.” The weather wasn’t the greatest Friday night, but there were plenty of customers in the store. “It’s been a pretty good turnout, especially considering the weather,” she said. And she intends to keep doing it every year. “I’ll keep doing it until the need’s not there,” she said.

by Brenda Crawford n Remembrance Day in Harrowsmith at the new parkette at 10:45am over a dozen people came together to remember our veterans and war heroes. The Harrowsmith Beautification Committee took possession of two wreaths from Sydenham Branch Legion, one from Canada and one from the province, and held a small ceremony. I spoke about how we were actually standing on the spot where the parade of soldiers from WWII marched to the railway station to board the train on the first lag of their long journey. I held letters from my father Harold Snider sent from Italy, France, and England while he served

his country. James Barbeau, sitting in his stroller, held a row of medals earned by Norman Mahood who was a boy soldier from British Columbia. Rod Crawford told of his father Campbell Crawford enlisting as a boy soldier as well. Adele Hamelin read In Flanders Fields and after our moment of silence and re-

membrance we placed our poppies on the wreaths placed by Rod and Greg. Just as we were dispersing a plane flew overhead. It was a good omen. We are hoping this is just the first of many services held at this site with both the schools participating. Thank you to Merrill for your guidance and kind words sent from the Montreal Street Legion Office.

The Bells of Peace were rung in Sydenham! A t 430pm on Sunday, November 11, the Bells of Peace were rung at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Sydenham; over 70 people were in attendance to witness this historic event. The Bells of Peace was a national initiative by the Royal Canadian Legion, and St. Paul’s Anglican Church and Branch 469 RCL teamed up to make this happen in Sydenham. The purpose of this event was to commemorate the one hundred years from the end of World War I in 1918 until 2018, and, therefore, the Bells were rung one hundred times in honour of this occasion. The bells were rung by a group of local children and youth including Lillie Marshall, Sophia Antoine, Meghan McKinstry, Addy Schjerning, Mason

Schjerning, and the entire group of Tucker children: Benjamin, Mary, Anna, and William, Charlotte and

Katherine. Following the bell ringing, Last Post and Reveille were played and every-

one present entered the Church for a service of Remembrance, followed by fellowship and refresh-
