'One Small Town' fizzles

by Jeff Green t started out as a plan to build a selfsustaining community of environmentally sustainable homes made of used tires and other materials, called Talking Trees. It then expanded into an initiative called “One Small Town” that was based on the concept of contributionism, and the philosophy of Ubuntu, as espoused by Michael Tellinger, the South African founder of the Ubuntu liberation movement.

Members of the community could contribute their labour towards a variety of initiatives in return for some of the benefits of the project. A simple example was a proposed apiary. By taking on some of the labour, contributors would not only get as much honey as they required, they would also share in the profits when the excess honey was sold.

The project, which was championed by North Frontenac Mayor Ron Higgins, eventually included a renewable energy component using lake water, as well as the potential for a self-contained North Frontenac Council expressed its, somewhat reluctant, support for the venture on a couple of occasions, making sure to stipulate that the township was making no financial commitment.

In November of 2017, a group came to a meeting of council to formally introduce the concept. A home in Plevna was purchased and the first project, an apiary, was to start up in the spring of 2018.

Meanwhile, Ron Higgins was talking up the project. He appeared in CBC interviews and other public forums on social media. He told the CBC that the project was going to progress quickly.

"In two or three years time, once this is all done, we will go into the bigger $20-million projects," he said in an interview on CBC Ottawa on January 28, 2018.

The South Frontenac Museum in Hartington has opted for a more open, airy display this season.

f South Frontenac Museum Society secretary Al Boyce had his way, there would be museum buildings all over the Township, and the County, each focusing on a different aspect of Frontenac history.

“But that’s just me dreaming and rambling,” he said Saturday as the South Frontenac Museum in Hartington opened its doors Saturday for the summer season, which runs through Labour Day Saturdays,

Sundays and Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Group visits can also be arranged email SouthFrontenacMuseum@gmail.com.

Boyce said its been a “busy and dynamic year” for the society focusing on making the Hartington site more accessible.

“We’ve been working on the displays to reduce the crowded feeling,” he said. “So,

Later, it appeared that that David Craig, who had spearheaded the Talking Trees tire home building project, began working independently from the group that was based in Plevna.

The Talking Trees – North Frontenac website indicates that a property has been purchased for the project and that 144 lots have been marked out. Of those, 5 are

marked sold, 2 1.5 acre lots at a listed price of $66,000, a one-acre lot at a listed price of $44,000, and 2 ½ acre lots at a listed price of $22,000.

The site says that the lots will be legally created using a plan of subdivision process.

“Once the Plan of Subdivision has been approved, lots will be available conventionally (approval expected in the summer 2020).” it says on the site.

Late in 2018, Mayor Higgins said that a first nation from British Columbia was set to invest in the project.

There has been no further formal word until this week, when the agenda for the upcoming meeting of North Frontenac Council was released. The agenda includes an administrative report from Mayor Higgins under the heading “One Small Town”.

The very short report consists of the three council motions that have been passed regarding the project, and the following comment.

“Based on intensive research and analysis, since November 2017, of the proposed One Small Town program, I have concluded that the implementation of the proposed program was not going to be a viable option and have closed this proposed project.”

With that, it appears, the Mayor has, at the very least severed his involvement with “One Small Town” if he has not shut it down completely.

One North Frontenac Councillor, John Inglis, is not waiting until the council meeting next week before expressing his opinion about the demise of One Small Town.

“I am embarrassed for my township that we appear to have been so gullible. Even

by Jeff Green Nothing has really changed, so far, for Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health.

“From the food you eat to the water you drink, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we make sure it is safe. That hasn’t changed,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, the medical officer of health for the region and Chief Executive Officer of the public health agency.

The agency does not yet know how much money the Province of Ontario will contribute for the current fiscal year, which started on April 1st, but that is not unusual.

What is different this year, is that in the provincial budget the government indicated that it wants to cut the overall budget for public health by $200 million, a sub-

Continued on page 11 stantial cut of 22%. It is unclear, however, if there will be a substantial cut this year.

“Our municipal partners have committed to covering any shortfall in funding this year so our programs will continue even if there is a cut from the province,” Moore said. “and we have heard from the ministry, who tell us that our final budget allocation will be known in a month or so.”

The province of Ontario currently pays 75% of the cost for KFL&A Public Health. $18 million towards a $24 million budget, with the local municipalities collectively paying $6 million.

There is real uncertainty surrounding what Public Health will look like in 2020/21.

A few weeks after announcing that they plan to restructure public health and consolidate 35 health units across the province into 10 larger regional entities, the ministry revealed their intentions for Eastern Ontario.

The proposal is to create a regional health unit, based in Ottawa, to cover Renfrew, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Prescott Russel, Leeds and Grenville,

Focus on planning as South Frontenacappoints new CAO

by Wilma Kenny ayor Vandewal introduced Mr Neil Carbone, who has been hired as the Township’s new Chief Administrative Officer. “Neil brings expertise and enthusiasm to the Township as we move forward with Strategic Planning, Seniors Housing and a new Official Plan,” said Vandewal.

Council passed the appointment by-law: Carbone begins his new job with the Township July 15. Current CAO Wayne Orr will serve as his advisor for a two-week transition and orientation prior to Orr’s retirement at the end of July. Carbone has a background in municipal work: he has been Prince Edward County’s Director of Community Development and Strategic Initiatives for the past seven years and prior to that he worked for the municipality of Sioux Lookout. “I look forward,” says Carbone, “to building strong relationships within the community and to working closely with the Mayor and Council to ensure South Frontenac is well-positioned to take advantage of its growth prospects in the coming years.”

Some numbers: Mr Carbone will lead an organization with an annual budget of $32 million, a management team of 13, a staff of 41, more than 100 volunteer firefighters, 40 summer student employees, and countless community volunteers all delivering services to over 18,000 residents in a geographical area of almost 1,000 square kilometers.

Draft Financial Statements

Auditor Howard Allan of Allan and Partners, Perth, reported that the township appeared to be in “very good (financial) shape”, with property taxes “at a very competitive rate”. He joked that “it’s a good year for Wayne to slide out on.”

Morgan Subdivision Problems

Norm Massie and Steven Fox, residents of Valleyview Subdivision Sydenham (locally known as “Morgan Subdivision”) came to Council to request enforcement of the works agreed to in the original subdivision agreement between RKR Landholdings Corporation (signee, Robert Morgan) and the Township.

Only recently have the residents had access to this agreement, which lists obligations the developer must meet. The list includes: swales between properties as part of lot drainage and grading; paved driveways; sodding of front lawns from house to roadway; trees planted at the front of each property; stormwater management; removal of construction debris. Few of these obligations have been fully met by the developer. As a result of these oversights, residents have been struggling with erosion, blocked culverts, additional landscaping and construction debris removal costs.

Massie and Fox met last week with Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services, to outline their problems.

Mayor Vandewal assured them that the Township will see that the situation is rectified as soon as possible.

issues of compliance with subdivision agreements in two reports to Council. Dodds listed the five plans of subdivision that currently have final approval and are under construction in the Township: Lyon’s Landing (the oldest, dating from the 1980’s); Valleyview (2012); Sandstone (2014); Willowbrook and Applewood (2016). An attached map showed five more with draft approval, three applications in process, and one proposed. Each of these agreements has slightly different conditions that the owner must comply with, and because development has carried on over a number of years, in some cases responsibility for meeting agreements has shifted from the original developer to the current owner. Dodds noted that sorting all this out is time consuming and often the assessment of compliance requires legal advice or assistance from professional engineering consultants.

Dodds assured Council that staff will continue to work with residents who have concerns or frustrations about specific matters. She also recommended the Township work through Public Services to contract a professional engineering firm in accordance with the Township procurement policy, that can assist with providing short term and on-going engineering services to support Township staff with subdivision and condominium compliance.

In her second report, Dodds suggested that Council follow the Development Services Committee’s recommendation that the Committee of Adjustment require (peer reviewed) lot drainage and grading plans to be a part of the process of severing new building lots. Also, that these plans be reg-

Ubuntu - con't from pg.1 though Council backed away from the whole thing right at first introduction, and were questioned by the Mayor for being so negative, the public perception has always been that this was a township project. Unfortunately, this is the second promise of investment money from outside that has fallen through.

The first was our Mayor’s promise that if we were able to keep wind turbines out of North Frontenac, investors were lined up to build hotel accommodation here.

I actually believed that for a while. I’m sorry to say that I also believed there was a remote possibility that millions of dollars might come to this community as a result of the idealism of a group of urban visitors.” Inglis wrote on his personal blog on Tuesday afternoon (May 21).

Communal systems could create more development potential in Frontenac County SINCE 1970

by Jeff Green

J

oe Gallivan, Manager for Planning and Economic Development for Frontenac County, briefed Frontenac County Council last week on a communal services report that will be coming their way next month.

This is a file that Gallivan has been working on for years, but he wanted some of the newer members of the council to be more familiar with the issues in the report in advance of its release.

The Province of Ontario encourages rural municipalities to focus on development within hamlets. Since there are no hamlets in Frontenac County that have municipal water systems except for Sydenham, and there are no municipal waste water systems in the county at all, development potential within and near hamlets is limited.

“The potential for communal services within subdivisions has been around since 1995, but municipalities have not taken it up within their jurisdictions, because of fears over the potential liability coming back to the public if a communal water or waste system fails,”

said Gallivan. “Over the years, the technology for septic systems has progressed substantially, and that cuts the risk.”

Communal services would mean there is one large septic system to cover an entire development instead of separate systems for each building. In some case, one of more communal wells could be included as well.

Municipalities in Ontario have two options for creating multiple building lots on a single piece of property, ‘vacant land condominium’ development, and ‘plan of subdivision’ development. Under a ‘plan of subdivision’, the municipality assumes ownership, and the associated costs, for the public infrastructure (roads, ditches, sidewalks, etc.) within a development, after the developer pays to build them to a municipal standard, whereas within a ‘plan of condominium’ the infrastructure remains the responsibility of the property owners after construction is complete.

Plans of Condominium, Gallivan said, could include responsibility for upkeep and maintenance of communal services in addi-

n Frontenac News of May 9, 2019, an article by Jeff Green praises a group attending a Tourism Conference. Mr. Green is to be commended for bringing this effort to our attention once again. We sincerely hope that it results in action.

Over the last few years, CF Council have made numerous references to the declining population and the need to increase tourism and encourage new residents to locate here.

Has anyone looked around lately?

The whole area is dotted with derelict or empty buildings and what looks like dump sites on residential properties. This is hardly encouraging for tourism.

CF’s Safe Properties by-law has not been successful in encouraging people to clean up their properties for a range of reasons, and therefore was not enforced. One of these was that some folks lack resources, are too old, or are in ill health to be forced to do this. This lacks credence as much of the “mess” is just plain garbage and detritus. This devalues surrounding properties and gives a negative view of CF to potential visitors, thus making increased tourism a pipe dream.

In a study from the Journal of the American Medical Association reprinted in the Toronto Star of September 15, 2018), it found that cleaning up lots with overgrown weeds and trash lifts residents’ moods and feelings

For over a decade, farmers have been telling us that there is a need for a local abattoir. A feasibility study for an Eastern Ontario mobile abattoir was complete in 2005. With funding from the County of Frontenac, National Farmers Union Local 316 conducted an abattoir feasibility study in 2011. There was also some work done around the possibility of creating a co-operative abattoir.

thorise him to go to the township councils to see if they are interested in pursuing the type of development that communal systems will make possible within their townships.

“It really comes down to what the local townships envision for their future,” he said, “the timing is good for South Frontenac, which is facing a lot of development pressure right now. The council is starting to review their Official Plan, and they will have the opportunity to accept communal services in their new plan”.

Gallivan said that one of the key elements for developers would be a consistent process and cost structure for communal water systems across the county.

“That would put Frontenac County ahead of other municipalities,” he said.

While South Frontenac is the jurisdiction that would be the most likely to see developments using the communal system model, Gallivan said he could see applications in Marysville on Wolfe Island, as well as in Central and North Frontenac.

of self-worth. The negative impact that unkempt or blighted properties makes on the mental health of people living in such areas has been well documented.

Most residents of CF have pride of ownership and even volunteer to clean up our roads. However, some do not. In the case of seniors or owners suffering illness or disability, service organizations and volunteers could help clean up their properties. In the other cases, CF should impose fines and/or send in a crew to clean up the property at the owner’s expense.

As permanent residents and taxpayers in CF, we are disgusted in the lack of pride that would allow some fellow residents to hamper the good work of groups trying to increase tourism and ownership here.

tion to roads and ditches, keeping municipal liability to a minimum.

“As well, if there are a number these systems within Frontenac County, there may also be an opportunity to put together a single municipal fund to cover potential liability from all of them. Individual projects would not have to cover as much liability on their own.”

In making his presentation, Gallivan used an existing development on the southwest edge of Inverary as an illustration of how much more density can be achieved using communal services. The Mathias subdivision is a 27 - acre block of land with 16 lots.

The minimum lot size in the development is 1.5 acres, and each lot includes space for a well and individual septic system.

If a communal septic system were in place, the same block of land would be able to contain 42 detached lots as well as 9 townhouse lots and a small apartment complex with 12 units, plus a commercial lot.

• Well that was an amazing Yard Sale turnout last weekend.

It was so nice to see people out treasure hunting, one yard at a time. Lots of laughter, meeting new people, neighbours, and such a positive response from everyone. There were children who were on the look out for “neon signs” telling their navigators to stop. Thank you to those who helped make this happen. Hope everyone was able to ‘declutter’ and make a few dollars and provide a few smiles. I think an annual one is in order  Even had some lemonade stands, which were very popular. Kudos everyone! Thanks to Colin Shelley who offered up his lot, plus friends inviting friends over to join them.

Grade 12s Devin Cooney and Nick Anderson have returned home from the Youth Invitational Special Olympics in Toronto last week (May 14-17) with a total medal haul of five, including two golds.

Cooney took the gold in shot put and silver in both the 200 metres and 400 metres. He was also fifth in the long jump.

Anderson won gold in the long jump and a bronze in the 100 metres (both personal bests) and added a sixth in the shot put.

“This was a big deal because there were 2,500 athletes from all across North America, including Cayman Islands and Jamaica,” said coach Tammy Steele.

“There were athletes from Chicago, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan, Manitoba, Alberta, Quebec,” said Cooney.

The guys are no strangers to athletic competition. Last year, Cooney was on a gold-medal winning basketball team from the school and Anderson took gold on the soccer team. Albeit, those were much smaller events.

Cooney actually likes basketball best, he said, citing Michael Jordan as the best ever. But the Invitational in Toronto was “a lot of fun, evenly fun with basketball.”

Anderson prefers the field events, such as long jump, despite winning bronze in the 100 metres.

“With the running events, after a while my legs hurt,” he said, explaining that he’s had a bout of shin splints lately. “But my goal is to be a weightlifter like my Uncle Murray.”

(Murray Anderson has had considerable success in strongman competitions, including two 12th-place finishes in Ontario’s Strongest Man in 2005 and 2007.)

Both Cooney and Anderson, like most athletes, remember the food at the competition.

“They had good breakfast, lunch and supper,” said Cooney. “And cappuccinos.”

“And Ice-caps,” said Anderson.

Next year, the Invitational is scheduled to be held in Kingston and both athletes are looking forward to it, albeit for different reasons.

The school is looking at taking most of the student body to the Kingston meet to cheer them on.

“The student body is coming to watch?” asked Cooney.

“I want that!

“I guess I’ll really have to train harder.”

Anderson said that while he likes the idea of competing, having a lot of people there watching him really isn’t his thing.

“No, not re-

May 2-4 in Sydenham: a very busy Saturday!

T

Lions feed first responders

by Wilma Kenny

wo events kept Sydenham full of people last weekend: an artfest and a villagewide yard sale. Both were loosely organized by individuals who floated the ideas, and let local folks take things from there.

The artfest began last year, when Brenda Young decided to help her sister show and sell the jewellery she had been making, by opening up her living room and inviting some friends to join in. It was so successful that this year, Brenda rented the Legion hall, divided the cost by 21 (the number of display spaces that would fit the hall) and contacted some artists. She ended up with an assortment of skills on display, and goods for sale: woodworking, glass blowing, local food and condiments, soap and cosmetics, and more. Admission was free, and the hall was crowded.

Karen Brawley fired up the yard sales by passing around the suggestion that Saturday would be an ideal time for a village-wide yard sale, and neon signs would be a great way to advertise. Someone who worked at KGH put it in the hospital bulletin.

Traffic moved at a good-natured crawl most of the day, both in the village and on the adjoining roads. Most vendors commented this was the best yard sale ever; their main complaint was that they were too busy to get out of their own yard. People

bought freshly-dug plants for their gardens, hunted for antiques, shared info about what was where, and bought clothes. Karen said, “One guy dropped his pants right in the front yard to try on a pair of jeans: said it was ok because he had boxer shorts on!” A lemonade stand at the end of George Street did brisk business as the day grew warm, but a local senior was concerned that they were using un-compostable styrofoam cups (“All we could get at the store.”) and so she went all the way to Verona to locate paper cups which she brought back and gave to them.

Two pairs of clunky outdated downhill skis in a free box found good homes: one pair to a fellow who was nostalgic; “they were my very first downhill skis!”, the others went off to become skids under an ice fishing hut.

There was one complaint — from a Napanee resident — his GPS couldn’t find the Sydenham Beer Store lot, where several vendors were set up. (Reminded me of the time an irritated woman from Kingston snarled at me; “I suppose Yew People don’t need signs, for Yew already know how to get there!”)

It was a long but entertaining day, and Karen intends to encourage an encore next year.

Sharbot Lake Farmers Market opens for season W

by Craig Bakay

ith the Victoria Day weekend comes the opening of local farmers markets and Saturday at Oso Beach in Sharbot Lake was no exception.

“It’s been a cold, wet spring and vendors have been working hard to create options,” said Sue Cole, spokesperson for the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market. “But we do have plant starts, preserves and dried goods.

“And the earliest season greens are just starting to come in.”

They’ve added a couple of farm vendors this year, she said.

“We’re looking forward to having mushrooms and cut flowers,” she said. “And also some fresh soaps.”

She said they plan to have breakfast start-

ing in June as well as a lot of other events, but they’re just getting started in that area as they’re a vendor-run market as opposed to having an administrator.

One thing they would like to have is more music. They have a few days booked but they’d like to see some buskers around.

“We’re hoping to have more music,” she said. “There is power available, so bring your own equipment and put down a hat.”

She said musicians interested in playing at the market should email slfminformation@ gmail.com to book a Saturday.

The Sharbot Lake Farmers Market is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Thanksgiving at Oso Beach in Sharbot La

Septic Savvy - a workshop in North Frontenac “T

here is much for all of us to learn about why a properly functioning septic system is integral to ensuring the safety of our drinking water and keeping our lakes healthy” according to Bruce Moore, Chair of the North Frontenac Lake Association Alliance.

The purpose of the three hour Septic Savvy workshop is to not only inform the public but to also receive input from the public on the topic of well-functioning septic systems and their impact on the environment and drinking water.

Septic system maintenance is not a new topic however there is new knowledge and lessons that have been learned about how to optimise the operation of household systems.

The workshop will receive current information and lessons that have been learned from the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations, Kingston Frontenac Lennox Addington Public Health, Mississippi Rideau Septic System Office, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, and the Township of North Frontenac The Lake Association Alliance has partnered with the Township of North Frontenac to offer this septic smart workshop on Saturday, June 8 at Clar-Mill Hall, Plevna from 9-12 noon. In establishing this joint venture, the Alliance recognizes that North Frontenac established a voluntary septic re-inspection program many years ago. As the Township website stages “systems that are improperly maintained, older or outdated or malfunctioning may have a negative impact on the environment, lakes and groundwater”.

The North Frontenac Lake Association Alliance has created a quick survey to make it easy for the public to send in their views, whether or not they are coming to the workshop. Please take the survey at <surveymonkey.com/r/QKQSMX9>.

For more information or to register email patmccarron@hotmail.com last minute registration will be possible at Clar-Mill Hall on June 8.

Provincial funding secured for latest cell/broadband project in rural eastern Ontario E

by Jeff Green

ORN (the Eastern Ontario Regional Network) has secured the last piece of funding it needs to set up its newest project. A $71 million commitment from the Province of Ontario, paired with a $10 million commitment from local municipalities, leaves only a federal government commitment of another $71 million still to come.

A request for proposal for private sector partners to invest the remaining $61 million for the $213 million project to get underway.

The Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has designated both mobile (cell service) and fixed broadband (high speed internet) as a basic service for all Canadians.

The EORN project is designed to fill some specific service gaps in Eastern Ontario that would not be filled otherwise by the private sector because of what it calls “market failure”, not enough revenue for companies to justify large capital investments to serve too few customers in rural areas.

Currently 40% of the area does not have access to high definition internet services, 20% of the area does not have

access to standard definition internet services, and 10% of the are has no voice call (cell) service at all.

This new project has, as its goal, 99% voice call cell service, 95% coverage for standard definition internet service, and 85% high speed internet service. In addition EORN intends to invest $34 million in increased capacity (5G) network enhancements in high density, high usage areas.

EORN is a not for profit corporation created by the Eastern Ontario Warden’s caucus to help improve internet service in 12 eastern Ontario counties and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

To date it has been responsible for bringing more than $300 million in high speed infrastructure to the region.

Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith is one of 9 board members who oversee EORN operations.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Museum - Continued from page 1 we picked a theme and topic and you can get a wheelchair around it now.”

The theme, he said, is South Frontenac 1900-1930.

“We chose Doug Lovegrove’s work on the 146th regiment (a First World War unit recruited from the area) as an anchor, including the displays on nursing sisters and women on the homefront,” Boyce said. “It’s kind of a before, during and after the war, with at home and on the farm.

“It’s like this is what Ma was doing while the boys were away, and this is what Pa was doing on the farm, including the tools he used without electricity.”

Boyce said this is only the beginning.

They’d like to have more space to display items as well as storage space so they can accept some of the donations they’ve been offered.

“We’re hugely indebted to the Township and all they’ve done for us (but) we’re not going to turn somebody away just because their stuff comes from north of Hwy 7.”

Family Fun Night

Boyce said there’s no way to know just what the museum system will turn into but he sees a great opportunity to preserve parts of history that the Royal Ontario Museum or the seven national museums in Ottawa can’t do.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love the ROM, but I think museums like this one provide a local service you don’t get at the ROM,” he said.

“Saws for example.

“If we don’t preserve these things . . .”

He said their mission is to share and catalogue the history of the area, whatever that might be.

“Who knows, in five to 10 years, we might have the world’s best collection of fishing rods,” he said.

Boyce said their biggest challenge is finding people with the skills they think they need.

“The people we’ve got are really keen but we need computer people, graphic arts people and carpenters,” he said. “If you let it go away to the dump, it will be gone.

“But if you take the providence of it, it can There were plenty of activities on tap at Land O’Lakes Public School last Thursday night as the Parents Council and school staff put on the annual Family Fun Night fundraiser.

Generations get together for fun games at Prince Charles

by Craig Bakay ast week was a busy one at Prince Charles Public School in Verona beginning with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) night, a concert by the Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra, a play from the 1,000 Islands Playhouse Young Company and then on Thursday afternoon, the school’s Grandparents & Games gathering.

“There’s a common misconception that there are two kinds of people — math people and non-math people,” said Principal Peter Mouncey. “That’s not true.

“Everybody can do it (and) math is fun.”

To that end, Prince Charles invited grandparents (and other family members) to have a chance to play new and familiar games that promote arithmetic and problem solving skills for Primary/Junior age students (JK-Grade 4).

“In conjunction with the Faculty of Education at Queen’s University, the staff at Prince Charles are participating in a twoyear project to help families find fun and effective ways that engage children with mathematics,” Mouncey said. “We will provide all the games, some light snacks and a math card game for each student to take home.”

And by all accounts, it was mission ac-

complished.

As Grade 6-7 class members Jorja Steele, Maddy Parks, Sydney Leonard and Isaac Badour wandered around the games tables offering cookies and snacks they’d baked as part of their classes, grandparents like Ina Emmons enjoyed the company of their grandchildren and their friends.

“He’s (grandson Tyson Revelle) always at my place but he made a point of wanting to do this this year,” she said. “He said ‘you come, you come.’”

Grandfather Peter Fitzsimmons was part of a larger group playing the card game Uno. “Nobody knows the rules,” he joked.

“They’re (the kids) picking on us.”

SK-Grade 1 teacher Lee Casement said games are a good way to teach concepts like probability, spatial sense and counting.

Ina Emmons played Snakes & Ladders with grandson Tyson Revelle and his buddy “This was so successful last year, we Abel Mulder-Kane at Prince Charles Public School’s Grandparents & Games afternoon just had to do it again,” he said. “I rememlast Thursday.

Alzheimers walk

I

t’s that time of year again, when the Alzheimers Societies in our area are gearing up for their annual fundraising walk for Alzheimer Disease. Pine Meadow Nursing Home has offered to host a “walk in the box” this year for the KFL&A Alzheimers Society. A” walk in the box” is a walk, similar to any walk, it’s just on a much smaller scale than a full community walk might be.

I’m encouraging all volunteers, families, and friends to walk in support of someone you may know that is on the dementia or Alzheimers journey to walk, and show your support for the cause.

You may register as a walker with pledges, or donation can be made the day of the

walk or you may simply walk to show your support for this cause.

The walk is on Saturday, June 8th 2019, beginning at Pine Meadow Nursing Home, 124 Lloyd Street, Northbrook, Ontario.

We will be taking a walk around the block.

Registration is at 9:00 & the walk will begin at 10:00. There will be refreshments, live entertainment and a BBQ to follow in the garden area.

Thank you for your support. For more information, please call Pam Lemke at 1-800-266-7516 ext 701 or email plemke@ alzking.com
