Wednesday morning was “Forget Ne-Not” morning • the Senior’s Centre. Our favourite dancers, the “Land O’Lakes Cloggers” danced up a storm as only they can. It was their Valentine’s program and we all got pink pens, heart-shaped writing pads in red and red pink hearts on sticks top wave around. It was hand-clapping, foot stomping music. You just can’t sit still when they are clogging. Amanda Veley played violin solos at intermission to give those ladies a rest before their next dance. We are their fan club and we love them. See you ladies at your next function, I hope. Keep clogging up a storm. Our next “Forget Me Nots’ will be at the Senior’s Centre. It features our favourite boy band, Roger Hermer and Heart Full of Country (yes, I said Boy Band).
Don’t forget the best breakfast in the north at Snow • Road Snowmobile Club on February 29th. See you there.
Snow Road Community Centre’s music night presents • the Kingston Ceili Band, contemporary Celtic music, on Thursday February 27th from 7pm-9pm. Lite lunch at intermission. Tickets are $12 at the door.

You will receive d free copy of the caregivers handbook.
Lorie Ryder was hostess of Coffee Break on Friday • morning. Lorie made lots of coffee and cake and it’s a good thing she did because it was packed. It was also the morning of the film about the 1959 Lanark fire from the Lanark & District Historical Society. The fire started on Monday, June 15 at noon, in the Sash and Door building, from a spark. There were high winds that day and it did not take long to spread to 33-35 buildings. Fire trucks from all districts came to help. I think there were 9 fire trucks there. After 5 hours the whole business section was on the ground. But luckily there were no casualties. By the next day everyone was already working to put Lanark back together again. An excellent film.

PL E VNA Rhonda Watkins 613 479-2447 rhonda139@gmail.com 613-264-5325 I would like to start off this column by sending out a big • hello to everybody in the community from long time Ardoch resident, Ina Watkins! I was chatting with my dear friend last week and she is doing well and enjoying her winter in Bells Corners, closer to her family. If you are interested in giving her a call, or paying her a visit, feel free to contact me and I can hook you up!
Big congratulations to Dave Cox, who was voted the win• ner for “Hit of the Year” in the 2019 Ontario Demo Derby!! Great job, Dave!
Our Community sends out get well quick wishes to Anne • Hamilton, who recently went in for cataract surgery on Feb 25 and will be preparing for her second cataract surgery on Mar 10. Hopefully you will be recuperated and seeing better through your beautiful eyes soon, Anne!
I had an interesting chat with Ardoch resident, Annemarie • Schonauer, last week. Did you know that she was working in downtown Toronto at an insurance company when the CN Tower was being built in 1974? I couldn’t believe she was old enough to be working yet! She said she watched it every day get taller and when the top was on the ground, you could go and sign your name on it so your name would be on the top of the tower. Then she watched as it was put on with a helicopter. How cool is that?! A little piece of our province’s history remembered right here in Ardoch!
She was also sharing with me how she had signed her name on the Berlin Wall in Germany before it was torn down and that somebody might have a rock in their home with her signature from the wall. It would be so neat if somebody had that rock here in North Frontenac!
Spring has sprung at Riverhill Farm & Fine Foods, with • over 7500 taps in, it sounds like they are ready for the warm weather and the sap to run, WOW!

If you see Donna Gemmill on March 1st or Dawn McNab • on March 2nd at the North of 7 restaurant or store, please remember to wish them a very happy birthday! Both gals would probably enjoy a few birthday bumps, if you have the time!
And last, but certainly not least; a big thank you to Blanch • Ellenberger, who certainly made our week! When I picked up the mail and there was a letter inside and a wonderful picture of my father in law, Doug Watkins (top of page 5), from 1948 that her late husband Walter had taken. I just had to share this pic with all of you, what a wonderful memory! Thank you, Blanch, for sharing!

At 3.5 years of age, • Lillian Law, won biggest fish in the childrens' tournament on Sydenham Lake on Feb 16, as she caught her first ice fishing pike at just over 2lbs.

I was requested by a concerned citizen in the village to • bring up the speed of which some vehicles travel in our village. This seems to be an ongoing concern. We have many pedestrians and pets, not to mention other vehicles on roads for this to be a safe thing happening. Please if you are the driver of any of vehicles who could you please respect the speed limit. Even if you are a passenger, perhaps remind your driver to slow down. Or as citizens maybe we need to bring it to police attention enough that they do something about it before someone gets injured or even worse. v er ona

by Jeff Green S arah Atkinson (owner/manager/head chef) of the Sydenham Country Café, is a ball of energy, especially when she is talking about the café.
The café has been open for less than a month and it already has an established clientele and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and grab and go options. It is establishing itself as a bake shop, and does catering as well.
A a take out window has just been set up at the side of the building for those who need that major coffee-shop option.
When I visited last week, mid morning, the breakfast crowd had come and gone, but the café was still half full, with mid-morning coffee drinkers, and some of the lunch sandwiches were just being prepared for the display case.
Sarah worked in restaurants as a teenager and trained in kitchens. She went to teacher’s college with a view towards teaching cooking, but one thing led to another and she ended up spending 25 years in education, most of it running her Sarah Atkinson in front of her cafe
own private school in Kingston.
Recently she has been making and selling baked goods, doing some catering and painting, from her home base north of Sydenham. She has seen an opportunity for a café in Sydenham ever since Hillside, which was located in the same location as the Sydenham Country Café on Rutledge Road just east of the village.
“I even looked at properties in the village, trying to see what is available. Then my husband told me that this property had been sold, so I came up and the new owner was here, looking around. I asked him what he was planning to do with this unit and he said he was hoping to lease it to a food business. I had already drawn up what I wanted so we looked at my drawings, and we basically made a deal right then and there,” she said.
That was in the early fall, and it took a few months to prepare the space, get everything up and running and get all the equipment in place.
“I had hoped to be open earlier but we opened when we could and the response

has been very positive so far.”
The menu at the Sydenham Country Café can be described as casual comfort food with a twist. The twist comes from some of the flavour enhancements that Sarah has developed over the years, such as her bacon marmalade that is carefully used on some of the sandwiches that are available at the café.
The cooks at the café prepare a daily soup and entrée special, and Sarah likes to make sure that some favourites are always available.
“We try to make sure that our Lasagne and Chicken Pot Pie are always available, for eat-in or takeout. They are always in demand” she said.
In addition to these classic comfort foods, the café also serves the contemporary equivalent, in the form of the Santa Fe and Asian Protein Bowls, available with chicken, or beans for vegetarians.
Among the specialty sandwiches, there is Montreal smoked meat, Turkey and Swiss, and 4 cheese gourmet grilled cheese (available with bacon or pulled pork)
The coffee at the Café comes from North Roast Coffee in Kingston. Their popular Confederation blend and the darker Sumatran are ready to serve.
And they have a breakfast sandwich? The Sydenham Country Café version is served on an English muffin or multi-grain round, with real cheddar and a hint of what Sarah calls her ‘zippy cheese sauce’. Their toasted western is another breakfast sandwich option.
From 7am – 9am the breakfast window is open, serving sandwiches, coffee, and muffins.
Their menu is available online at countrycafe.ca.
“We have gotten off to a really good start,” Sarah said, “and I think we will only have more available for people as we get into the spring and summer season.
The café is open on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 7am – 3pm, Wednesday to Friday from 7am – 7pm, and Saturdays from 9am -3pm. The hours will be extended for the spring and summer seasons.
Little Black Book of Scams
outlines the sort of things to
watch out for by Craig Bakay
If you’re a senior in Frontenac County, chances are you’ve gotten one of those phone calls. You know the ones — somebody’s going to make you rich or the “bank” needs some information or heaven forbid, if you don’t tell the caller what they want to know, you’re going to jail.
North Frontenac Coun. Fred Perry’s gotten them too, as well as questionable emails asking for his banking information and such.
Perry’s concerned, because although you don’t have to be a senior to get scammed, Frontenac County’s on track to be more than 50 per cent seniors before too long, and seniors are a huge target. “I found it at the car dealership,” Perry said. “I thought it would be good information for seniors.”
So, he asked Clerk Tara Mieske to see if she could get some to have in the Township office. “We couldn’t really get hard copies for here but we can print out a couple of PDFs to put out,” she said. “And everything that’s in the book is on the website.”
So, you can get all the information at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca or call1-88-348-5358 to find out about local scams; financial and investment scams; banking and credit card scams; spam emails and text messages; identity theft and where to report them (Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501).
The Competition Bureau of Canada has come out with The Little Black Book of Scams.
