An angel’s wings: little Alex surveys Bobs Lake I

by John Curran

n some ways little Alex McKeown, 8, is like many other young boys his age, especially his almost obsessive love of flying and being around aircraft of any type. What sets him apart is his irrepressible smile, the fact he’s a bit of online sensation, and fundraising dynamo, oh he’s been fighting cancer for almost two years now. When COVID-19 hit, his oncology team said to get him out of Toronto immediately, so the family has been at their Bobs Lake cottage since March 18. The McKeowns have been cottaging in the area for generations and Alex’s story is quite well known among neighbours and friends around the lake. When Dad Mike McKeown turned to the Bobs Lake Ontario Facebook group and made the following request, the response was almost overwhelming. “Just wondering if anyone on the lake with a floatplane or anyone who might know someone who could help. My Son Alex as many of you know has cancer and has been deemed palliative. He loves flying but has never been up over the lake he loves so much. I’m just wondering if there is someone with a plane on the lake that would be willing to take him for a quick tour?” he wrote. The post was quickly shared across several area Facebook groups and hundreds of replies started pouring in. “It was incredible,” said Mike McKeown. “I didn’t know what to expect but the community’s response was just tremendous.” Several firm offers immediately poured in from residents and cottagers anxious to assist. Some were more immediate than others. One came from an American pilot who remains willing to come to Canada as soon as the quarantine is lifted. In the end, off duty Air Canada Cargo pilot Matt Rodmell wanted to do the flight, but his plane is currently on wheels and so he couldn’t. Instead he alerted his friend Paul Snelgrove, a resident of nearby Big Clear Lake and private pilot with a fully restored yellow 1958 Beaver floatplane. Snelgrove came the very next day to take Alex for his tour. “Because I’ve got a Beaver it’s a little bigger than a lot of other private floatplanes,” said Snelgrove. “I was able to take his Mom and Dad as well as Alex and his sister for a tour of Bobs Lake including going over their place so they could see it from the air.” Alex lit up – though it did take him a little time to believe

the flight was really happening. When the plane landed and pulled up to the McKeown’s dock, he had no idea it was coming; he suddenly got very shy. “He was just taking it all in with big eyes, he was awestruck,” McKeown explained. “After we went up and had landed, the first thing he said was, ‘I want to go again.’” Alex sat up front in the co-pilot’s seat and because the plane is equipped with dual controls, he was able to get the sensation of flying the plane. It wasn’t the first time, Alex has flown in a Beaver mind you. “His very first flight we chartered a Beaver floatplane from Orillia and we took him to a restaurant on Georgian Bay that you can only get to by water or air. He’s also gone on a Porter flight, he did a life flight with Ornge and we did a family trip to Cuba right before COVID-19 hit,” said McKeown. “The way the community came together to surround our little guy with goodness, it was extremely moving.” For Snelgrove, the experience was similarly uplifting. “I have a nine-year-old myself so when I met Alex I was just speechless, it was tough not to breakdown,” he recalled. “I’ve been blessed and I know it – I can’t imagine what they’re feeling as a family. He is a wonderful kid and it looks like cottage life is agreeing with him. We hope for a miracle.” If you would like to learn more about the harrowing journey of Alex’s young life and his battle against acute myeloid leukemia, his father has created the Alis Army facebook group, which details everything he’s been through and some of the adventures he’s had along the way. He’s also a part of the Great Cycle Challenge, which started in 2016 and after four years has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events across Canada. People of all ages, abilities and from every province across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout August to raise money to help fight kids’ cancer. The Alex’s Army Team is currently sitting in first with more than $262,000 raised. Second place is a distant $20,000. “He just has this zest for life despite all he’s gone through since being diagnosed on Christmas Eve 2018, the bone marrow surgery, the chemotherapy, the experimental drugs, to ultimately being told there’s nothing doctors can do,” said McKeown. “He’s so inspirational, people are drawn to him.” This entire story has an additional silver lining. Remember

Community Living during a pandemic

ife is not easy for developmentally disabled adults, their families, and their caregivers, every day of every year. Navigating around physical barriers, understanding and participating in economic and social life in a community setting, are all challenges that need to be met over and over again. During the COVID-19 pandemic, much of those hardearned accomplishments of (the clients of, and) agencies such as Community-Living North Frontenac and New Leaf Link have been, at best, suspended. For the people who are supported by the agencies, and their families, life in 2020 is difficult, and isolating. Dr. Karin Steiner founded New Leaf Link (NeLL) in 2009.

Filling a service gap for developmentally disabled young adults after graduating from Sydenham High School, NeLL has expanded its services over the years. It had grown to the point where it was providing 3 days a week of programming at Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church, until the COVID-19 shut-down in March. Karin Steiner is also the mother of Nicholas Steiner, who was one of the original NeLL participants. COVID-19 has had an impact on the agency, and on her personally. “Nicholas has been living in Kingston, in a house with other people who are supported by Community-Living Kingston,” Karin said in a telephone interview last week. When COVID-19 hit Karin became nervous. There are caregivers providing 24 hour support in the house, and the staff had already been seeing some turnover, which increased when the pandemic hit. Karin brought Nicholas home. “Community-Living Kingston has been understanding about my decision, and they always did a great job in the house and they have been in touch since Nicholas came home. He will be able to go back, but I am keeping him with me for the time being,” she said. This does put her back into the position of primary caregiver, and since she now lives alone, it has changed everything for both Karin and Nicholas.

Alex McKeown, 8, got a surprise last Friday when Paul Snelgrove arrived at his dock in his de Haviland Beaver floatplane to take he and his family for their first ever areal tour of Bobs Lake, where their family has been cottaging for generations. there were several offers to take Alex for the flight? Another private pilot who has his plane on wheels based in Carp, Ont., is going to fly the McKeown family all the way from there to Toronto and back on the August long weekend. Little Alex’s cheeks will no doubt be aching after that trip, as he’ll be smiling from ear to ear as he lives his dream again with his family, riding high on another angel’s wings.

by Jeff Green “In addition to coming to New Leaf Link in Harrowsmith three days a week, Nicholas took art lessons in Kingston, and had other regular activities scheduled. Now he is here with me, which is safe, but he misses his friends, his normal routine. He had a life in Kingston. He misses that,” she said. For Karin Steiner, whose husband died in 2015, the role of sole caregiver for Nicholas is also a challenge, and a stress. She fell on the rocks by the water last week, and needed stitches. “I was fine, but what would have happened if I was not fine. I find that stressful.” In her role with New Leaf Link, Karin had been involved, with others, in the development of online programming, which received some grant money last week. (see sidebar) The normal New Leaf Link programming was immediately suspended when the church closed in March, and a return date for in person programming is still a way off, with many unknowns as to what it will look like. “The church needs to be open for booking first, which they are being careful about, and we also need to see how we can make it work,” she said. “There are a lot of unknowns.” Julie Hunt, of Sydenham, is the mother of Joel, who with Nicholas Steiner was one of 3 original New Leaf Link partici-

Editorial

MPP Hillier makes his choice regarding doctor’s orders by Jeff Green PP Randy Hillier has been active on social media in recent weeks. He has been critical of the Ford government, charging it with using the COVID-19 state of emergency as a pretext for a series of omnibus bills which bypass democratic checks on its power, in order to promote initiatives that have nothing to do with the response to the pandemic. He is not alone in this. The leader of the NDP, Andrea Horwath, has been making many of these points as well. Hillier has also been critical of mandatory mask orders, which are in place now in both Lanark and Frontenac Counties, and is supportive of challenging the orders at the Ontario Human Rights Commission, a body that he has consistently opposed in the past. On July 27, he said, in a tweet, that wearing a mask “only generates more fear and causes people to be apprehensive of becoming human again.” Over the last ten days he has engaged in a running debate on twitter with Perth Doctor Alan Drummond, who is the co-chair for public affairs with the Canadian Federation of Emergency Room Physicians. That debate appears to be over now, as Hillier tweeted on

July 28. “It appears the good doctor @alandrummond2 does not want to engage in debate of facts whether on covid or guns but prefers everyone obey and show deference to his opinions. Facts matter to me more than career choices”. MPP Hillier appears to support another group of doctors, however. The group is called “America’s Frontline Doctors”. They appeared in Washington DC last weekend to advocate for alternative treatments for COVID-19. The video from that media event, which was also retweeted by US President Donald Trump, has been pulled off social media. A Facebook spokesman said the group’s video was removed for “sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19”. Among the claims in the video, in which a group of maskfree, white coated doctors, make a series of claims. Among them is that mask wearing is not effective in slowing the spread of the virus, and another is that the drug hydro-chloroquine is an effective treatment for COVID-19. In his tweet linking to a site called BitChute, where the video remains posted after being pulled from Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, Hillier wrote: I watched this video yesterday and it is a powerful presentation against the COVID

change over night, and in some cases, they do not understand why things have changed,” said Dean Walsh, Executive Director. “Families have had to make adjustments to their own lives and schedules, in ways they have not seen before. Some of the people we support have not been able to go out at all, social distancing is not easy for them. They are lonely, they are depressed, just like other vulnerable people who are shut in. Social distancing comes at a cost.” He pointed out that not only are people with developmental disabilities among the most vulnerable people in the community, “I would add that they are among the most devalued in the community. They do not always have friends, families, or support systems to carry them through a pandemic.” “Our employees are frontline workers,” said Mark Hudson, who is the Community Living-North Frontenac Board Chair and the minister with the Sharbot Lake Pentecostal Church. “They have come to work each day to face the stresses and challenges, and are making a difference in the lives of the people we support. We are lucky they have been so diligent.” The Community-Living office has remained open, but only to staff since March. It is now open to the public, within protocols that were outlined to agency staff by an inspector with KFL&A Public Health. “They were very helpful, but very clear as well, about how we needed to operate. We are committed to safeguarding everyone, so all visitors to our office will go through the screening process,” said Dean Walsh.

pants in 2009. She was in Mexico on vacation in early March, while Joel, who normally lives with them, was in a group home run by Ongwanada in Kingston while they were away. “We realised after a week that we had to cut our vacation short and get back home. Joel and I have been at home ever since,” Julie said. Julie is employed as a caregiver at New Leaf Link, so she is off work. “Joel has been home since COVID hit. Luckily it is summer now and we have a pool, so he can at least enjoy the water, but it is not easy for him, or for me, really,” she said. “The saddest part is that Joel has lost his whole world. He misses his friends at New Leaf Link. The highlight of his week now are the online New Leaf Link sessions. At least he sees his friends on the screen” Even the weekly shopping trip is off. “We used to go to Foodland, the post office, and the bank once a week. It was a routine, and everyone knows Joel, but that is off as well. Now I go myself on Friday’s, when my husband has his day off. To be honest I am dreading the coming winter,” she said In Sharbot Lake, Community-Living North Frontenac has been faced with many challenges since mid-March. “The impact of COVID-19 on our agency has been considerable. Many of the people we support have had their lives

orthodoxy of fear. Social media censors on Facebook have been removing the video from all sites. Watch, as doctors speak truth to power and challenge the narrative.” BitChute is described by Wikipedia as “a video hosting service known for accommodating far-right individuals and conspiracy theorists.” While this excursion of MPP Hillier, into the debates that are more prevalent in the United States than in Canada, might be interesting to some, I certainly hope our MPP is using his own free time on his twitter adventures. He was elected in 2018 to serve the interests of the residents of Frontenac Lanark Kingston and receives a salary to spend his working days promoting our interests at Queen’s Park and within the riding. MPP Hillier has been championing the interests of small business people in the riding, people who he says are victims of government policy and fear mongering about COVID-19. It is hard to see how tweeting about America’s Frontline Doctors and linking to BitChute, while questioning the integrity of someone like Dr. Alan Drummond, who has been a dedicated medical professional in his community for decades, will help bring credibility to that cause, or to Hillier himself.

Community Living operates the Treasure Trunk, a second hand store, which reopened last month. “Some people we support normally work there, but aren’t able to now. The store is valuable to the community, and we were pleased when it was able to reopen.” The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) has provided extra funding to help Community Living agencies with added costs for respite, protective equipment and supplies, which has helped out quite a bit, said Dean Walsh. “But it continues to be hard on everyone,” he said.

Remembering Peanuts, Jellybeans and Ma Helmes A

SINCE 1970

sk any of the thousand people who went to Sydenham High between 1938 and the early ’70’s, there is only one person they will all be sure to remember: Ma Helmes. And she was not even officially associated with the school. ‘Ma” (Myrtle) Helmes ran a small store attached to her house just three doors down from the high school, at the corner of Bridge (now Rutledge) Street and Mill Street, for over 30 years. Here’s some of her story: In 1933, Mrs Helmes’ husband died, leaving her with no job, no money and two children, June age 12 and Charlie, 5. Charlie, who’s now in his nineties, told me the story from here. They were living in a rented house on the back street of Sydenham (Portland St). For several years, Widow Helmes supported her family by cleaning house for several people in the village, until one day the minister told her she was working too hard, and should consider buying Mary Gouge’s place, which had a small store attached. She protested she could not afford to buy a house, but Mr Freeburn, who held the $1,000 mortgage, told her to “Pay me when you can.” The Helmes family moved into their new home in 1938. At first, Mrs H. stocked the store with groceries. It wasn’t long before she realized her chief customers were the schoolchildren who came for candies and school supplies. (note to any readers under 60: we had to buy our own textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils, etc. back in those days.) By wartime, she had began serving hot dogs and hamburgers at lunchtime: June worked front of house, collecting the money and yelling back the orders, ”Two hotdogs, Ma” while Charlie acted as runner between kitchen and store. Didn’t take the name long to stick and from then on, she was “Ma” to everyone.

Charlie recalled her saving fifty-cent pieces. Ma herself tells the story in a short essay she wrote for a school history compiled in 1967 “Over the period of two years I had acquired a large pail full of fifty-cent pieces. I wanted to take my children on a trip across the border and what would I do with that pail of money? We hit upon a solution; we decided to bury it, and so one dark night I led the way with a flashlight. Charles followed with the pail of money and the shovel over his

shoulder singing ‘Hi ho and a bottle of rum.’ June brought up the rear, with a geranium. We buried the money, planted the geranium to mark the spot, and went on our way. On our return from the United States, the fifty cent pieces were still there, but not one had sprouted. This tale has a happy ending, however, in that I made a payment on my store and home with that money I saved in fifty cent pieces.” Eventually the store acquired a large sign: “M J Helms, Groceries/ Candies/Tobaccos/ Drink Coca Cola”. In spite of the misspelling of the name, the sign remained. Over the years, Ma generated a lot of memories and stories. There are some common themes: “She scared the living daylights out of me at first”; “quite a lady”; “wouldn’t stand for rowdiness’; “always there when you needed her”; “you had to earn your place, earn her respect;” “she loved to play cards, especially euchre.” Her grandson Bob admits “She was intimidating when you first met her,” but remembers that when he went for a week’s visit, she would take him down to Ruttan’s store for a popsicles, because she didn’t sell them

herself. Everyone agrees that ‘Ma’s’ was most popular with the older students, especially the boys. She didn’t tolerate rough language, and anyone who swore in her establishment was told to leave. The second time one boy offended, she threw him out and warned him never to return. Another version of the story says that she carried out her threat to cut the tail off his shirt, then gave him the money to buy a new one. Again, in Ma’s words: “The boys have come to me to mend rips in their clothing, sew on buttons, bandage wounds, and all the little acts a mother would do for her children. I have scolded and shouted at them, and they just come back for more. My place is a ‘bring your own, stand-up lunch room.’ (In later years, she no longer sold hot dogs and hamburgers.) We have had as many as thirty boys eating lunch at one time and Ken Sigsworth always sat on the ice box to eat his lunch. We have had a lot of laughs and a few misbehaviours, a broken window now and then — but the boys were only too glad to stay out of school to replace them.” There are many remembrances of her quiet kindnesses and generosity. Students who had a ‘spare’ were expected to sit at the back of the classroom and do homework: often they would slip down to Ma’s instead. Many former students, both men and women, recall the card games at her dining room table in the room just behind the shop: if Ma had particularly good cards, she’d sometimes send one of them out to attend to customers until she had played her hand. Mary Smith remembers, “As I came to find out, her bark was much worse than her bite, and by the time I hit grade 12, I was welcomed into her wee store, and was soon playing euchre at the counter. Eventually, she trusted a few of us enough to let us run the store for her (if we were on a spare) so that she could have a nap.” In 1969, when Mary was in her senior year, she arranged to have Ma come to the Christmas assembly as a guest of honour, where she recited a funny poem that drew a standing ovation. She was presented with a bouquet of roses. Ma closed the store in 1973, just a year before her death. Ken Sigsworth saved the door, still with its bell, just as the building was being torn down to make way for the high school addition. He used it on his cottage for years before it finally disintegrated. (The class of ’69 are in the final stages of placing a plaque on the site of her store, to honour the memory of Ma Helmes. Her

Confederate flag

confederate flag continues to fly in Piccadilly. The confederate flag is a symbol of white supremacy and racism. It is the flag people followed to war in order to preserve slavery and to protect their ability to own and control other human beings. It has no place in this community or in this country. It is so disrespectful. It is disturbing to me and many of my neighbours but imagine how much more offensive it is to those in our community who are people of colour. It is wrong to fly it.

I dug around some of my potatoes and they are the size of hen’s eggs and he vines are dead. I think we all feel half dead, too. The weather has been so hot, no dancing, no parties, no get-togethers because of the virus and worst of all: our summer is almost gone. • In the month of July there has been a blitz of research about the old barns in Barrie ward as Brenda Martin of North Frontenac Historical Society and Archives has tried to visit every known barn in the community. Larry and Doreen Black have been traveling with her occasionally, and Ken and Doreen Black have been working from home. Many others have been assigned homework to find photos, dates, and other background information. A few more hours will be spent this week in the area looking at the Snider Farm, the George Hawley Farm and the Bakers farm. If anyone has pictures or any information on the properties of Mac Thompson, Brenda would like you to call her at 613-479-2387. If anyone was missed with a barn call as well. Our barn was built in 1884, way before my time. Brenda thanks you for your help.

Pearl Coronavirus Diary Day 140 Getting Back my Bikini Body: I needed something to do this summer while still in lockdown so why not try to get my bikini body back. I had a rocking body 66 years ago when I was 16. So I am going to see what I can do to get it back by late August or early September so I will look thin and in. My measurements at the moment are 46-40-46 but by the end of August or early September, I hope to be 36-25-36. I am prepping for a bikini competition and I will give it my all. I will eat clean (I will clean up everything) and I will work out hard 5 or 6 days a week. I really struggle with my water weight as I am mostly water. I’m really bloated and puffy but that is from the water. I will really be excited when I see my 6-pack (do women have a 6-pack?). I will do a mixture of weightlifting and heart-pumping cardio. I will have such a lean toned physique that no one will recognize me. I will work so hard that my metabolism will be revved up for 40 hours. After my sweat sessions, hydration is necessary but I have so much water weight I don’t need to be drinking 8 glasses of water per day. It will only make me heavier. They say cut out sugar but I have a sweet tooth - the third one down from my front tooth so I can’t do that. My training is so strenuous I sometimes have to take 2 or 3 days to rest my body to get rid of all those aches and pains from all that exercise. I nosh on potato chips (white of course) and low fat ice cream when I get the munchies. I replace greasy fries and lasagna and pasta of any kind with baked chicken wings (large of course to keep me fuller for a longer time), or pizza - two or three small slices with just tomato sauce and cheese. The pounds are pouring off me! When I need to get hydrated I will have a large Coors or a coffee with lots of cream and Splenda. If I am still hungry before supper I will have a chocolate bar and a diet Pepsi but the diet says to stay away from processed foods so I won’t get any closer to that than 1 or 2 feet. I hope my eagerness to get a bikini body will help to inspire others to join me. Look for me at a beach near you soon – looking spectacular! • Thank you Donna for the lovely fresh corn on the cob last Thursday – all cooked and ready to eat.

Nice to see all the long hay and sumacs trimmed up by the play structures. I know a lot of youngsters enjoyed this area before COVID-19 halted everything. The baseball field was used almost every day for games or practises. Good time to redo things. • Congrats to those responsible for clearing the ashes left from our tragic incident. The Anglican Church and the red brick house have been levelled completely, making Parham seem empty and lost. • Did you get to see the comet last week? Won't appear again in our life time. • Those feeling cabin fever due to the pandemic should take a walk on the trail. It's very beautiful, scenic and has a calming effect on you due to the nature surrounding it. Besides, you'll feel better by getting a bit of exercise and releasing some of your stress. • Blue Jays fans must be happy, maybe not with the outcome but at least they get to watch their favourites. • The Parham Fair has gone virtual this year due to COVID19. So many people met and reminisced at this event; it was like a BIG family reunion. Oh well, we all have to do our part in flattening the curve. • More and more yard sales are happening. Its' always fun to get a bargain and they all seem to be doing their best to keep social distancing, mask wearing and hand sanitizing part of the sales event. • Folks are being quite creative with the different styles of masks, either home made or store bought. • With all the negativity about COVID there are a few positives. If we just look long and hard, we can find good in all things, so challenge yourself to find the positive things ie: saving money on trips, hair cuts, nail salons, gas and gas emissions to name a few. • Produce from the gardens sure tastes yummy. Hopefully we keep on getting the odd rain shower. • Just remember: when you are using the Community Pantry, it is a "Community Pantry for the whole area" , help yourself but don't hoard or be selfish as there ARE others who may need it as well as you. Please only take what you need. The secret of its success is to share... That was the intended purpose of this project, so please do your part. Thank you. • Thinking of you to Michael Morrow. • Albert Einstein once said, “The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty and truth.” • Have a great week! • Happy birthday to Andy Robinson, Garnet Brown, Carol Wisteard, Miranda Bird, Hallie and Hannah Hearns, and Sherri Vinkle.

5 Health Hacks for Pain Relief

Let’s face it, summer is busy! Between playing outdoors with the kids, gardening, building decks, and working from home, it can be difficult to find time to manage those lingering aches and pains. Here are five ways for quick pain relief! Golf Balls: It turns out that these petite dimpled balls can be used for more than a game-winning putt. Just roll the ball under your foot while seated to help relieve tension in sore feet. Tennis Balls: Standing against a wall, place a tennis ball between your back and the wall. Slowly move up and down or side to side to help work out tension in your back or shoulders. Frozen Peas: Forget expensive ice packs. Frozen vegetables are a great alternative and will form to fit different parts of your body. Rolling Pin: Tight thigh muscles are common in runners, walkers, and other athletes. Roll a rolling pin up and down along the front or side of your thigh to help relieve this tension. Towel: If you sit at a desk all day, you may feel tension in your back or chest from slouching. To help relieve the pain, place a rolled towel on the floor. Sit at one end, facing away from the roll. Slowly lay back so that the roll is under your spine, supporting you from the neck to the lower back. Relax in this position for one minute, feeling a stretch across your chest and the front of your shoulders. To avoid straining your neck while in this position, rest your head on the roll or place a pillow at the end of the roll for more support. These tips may not completely eliminate your pain but try them for a few weeks and you’ll likely feel less discomfort. If the pain gets worse contact your health care practitioner.

Remembering the legendary Johnny Bay

by Julie Druker

(Originally published on October 4, 2012.)

fter much research into her family tree, and in particular her Mohawk ancestry, Laura Schwager presented her findings in a presentation she gave at Barrie Hall in Cloyne on Sept.17 as a special guest of the Cloyne & District Historical Society. Schwager, who has numerous relatives in the Mazinaw Lake area and who is the great-great-granddaughter of Johnny Bay, currently lives and teaches at the Quinte Mohawk School in the Tyendinaga Mohawk territory. She became interested in her Mohawk ancestry after hearing stories from her grandparents, Earl and Cora Davison. “My interest in my Mohawk ancestry comes first from a photograph of my great grandmother, Matilda Bay Schwager ... and what would stand out perhaps most for me ... was an image described for me of the day Matilda was buried ... how a huge flock of geese in their V formation flew down low and loudly above everyone, as if to carry away her spirit.” Schwager’s research with family members, local historians and genealogists has brought to light the lives of Johnny Bay and his wife Anne Laforce, who eventually settled on the shores of Mazinaw Lake on Levere Road (Indian Point). During his time there, Bay helped build numerous cottages; including the Obornes', Blatchfords' and Pearsons' cottages, and also Skootamatta Lake Lodge. Schwager's research uncovered Bay’s earliest roots, which originated with the Haudenosaunee: the People of the Longhouse, also known as the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy who lived on land in Upper New York State and Southern Ontario. Each longhouse was comprised of a married couple, the wife’s extended family, and was led by a clan mother. Johnny Bay was born in 1850 and died around 1924. He is buried in the Flinton Catholic cemetery along with his wife Anne, his daughter Matilda and his son John. Laura said that she is not sure how he died.

There are two canoes still in existence that he made, one at the museum at Bon Echo Provincial Park, and one that was used in the Tyendinaga landing ceremony for many years and that is now stored at a private residence on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Reserve. Schwager was able to trace Bay to the Akwesasne Mohawk Reserve, which “consisted mostly of Mohawk people wary of warfare between the French and the English, the British and the Americans, and Canada and the United States and that was formed to ‘identify, categorize and control the people that lived off the land through the area that would become 'Akwesasne'’”. Schwager was able to find records of Johnny Bay’s grandparents on both sides of his family from the late 1700s and records of his parents from the early 1800s. Bay’s parents, Peter Bay and Mary Cook had 11 children, all born on the reserve. One of the questions that Schwager was most interested in was why Johnny Bay eventually left the reserve, where she believes he lived from 1850-1876, to end up on Mazinaw Lake. Part of the answer she said was based on her academic findings. In her presentation she highlighted the plight of Aboriginal peoples throughout the country as “new diseases swept through the reserve and the Canadian government worked to build a nation without ‘Indian interference’, a time when rapid change-making procedures were run to guarantee types of culture extinction”, which she said likely played a large role in Bay’s move off the reserve. “By the time Johnny Bay was married he was faced with definitions foreign to his ancestors; he was forced, though he might not have known to the extent that I am aware of today, to fall from a place he knew, and into categories of ‘identity’, ‘community’ and ‘ownership’ as defined by Euro-Canadian society.” Schwager also cited unrest within the reserve as a motivating factor for the Bays to

In these times of pain and suffering worldwide, the death of our mother brings perspective and joy between the tears as we remember her incredible life and the blessings of humanity that she embodied. Mom loved life and laughter. Her Raptors and Blue Jays, her crafts and baking, her bowling and shopping, family gatherings with a good card game and her intense pride in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Always supporting us as we muddled through life. Mom was born in Ottawa in 1931 and died in her sleep of natural causes on July 16, 2020, in Windsor. As mom aged, she remained happy and grateful for the many blessings in her life, most important among them, her family. In 1955, she married Rev. Lawrence Leafloor and embarked on the adventure of raising six children. At the same time, she welcomed her sister Grace to live with our family for the duration of her life and Grace became a strong support for mom. As she raised our family in many small communities in Ontario and Saskatchewan, she always made due, often with so little, and always putting her family’s needs first. After Larry died in 1996, she lived in Windsor near her daughter Laurean and later moved into Laurean’s home where she was lovingly cared for by her daughter and son-in-law, Brad. Open-minded and open-hearted. Kind, gentle and generous, with fiery opinions on things that mattered to her. She was also a woman of deep faith. Mom was the embodiment of the sentiment that she often expressed: “I’ve had a good life.” Jean is predeceased by her father Alfred Ernest Ward and mother Florence Joy, siblings Don, Doris, Roy, Grace and Art, and by her husband Larry and his parents and her daughter Angela’s spouse Ken Wilson. She is survived by her children Christopher (Satinder Besrai), Stephen (Susan Skrypnyk), Laurean (Brad Stobbs), Angela, Leslie (Anakalak Nowdluk) and Craig (Kim Rohac), grandchildren Tyler, Marly (Luke), Melissa, Alexandra, Aaron, Sarah, Hannah, Kamilah, Joy, Grace, Laura, Andrew and Tommy, and greatgrandchildren Lyam, Maple and Ivy. Private cremation will be followed by memorial events when permitted by the pandemic.

Hawley, Douglas Albert (February 4, 1942 - July 23, 2020) Warrant Officer, Canadian Armed Forces (Ret.) Douglas A. Hawley, passed away at the age of 78.

• Thank you Betty Elliot for responding to my enquiry last week about the planes flying over our community! The two Hercules C130s did two east-to-west passes over the east end of Kash lake. She said the First pass over seemed to skim the tops of their 100 foot Pine trees and caught them by surprise; a really breathtaking experience! They saw them circle back up along hwy 506 and turn around somewhere east of the lake for a second run down the lake. One of them came right over their dock and the other one was on the other side of the point heading west down Kash lake. • Betty and her family are enjoying their 41st summer at the lake and have been here this season since May. She said that aside from the infestation of gypsy moths it has been great! The residents of their point are working hard to try and get rid of as many caterpillars, moths and eggs on their properties in hopes of making a difference for next year! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!! • Last week my family and I had the pleasure of meeting a really nice couple in Ompah; Tom and Sue Reinhart! They have been working hard making their new place their home and WOW, it sure looks great!! If you are interested in a lovely free couch bed? They are giving one away to somebody that needs it. If you would like to contact me, I can put you in touch with them. • Free high speed internet access is again available at the Cloyne and Plevna Libraries.

we will just keep progressing forward with good Health. Keep smiling, keep shining, Sydenham. We got this. 2021 will be one heck of a year. We rock, the kindness of our locals sure has helped many during this uncertain time, just yet another reason why keeping it local has many benefits. • Just a friendly reminder to those who are taking advantage of our local beach here in Sydenham, distancing is still a thing but also if you are a smoker be responsible and don’t smoke around those who are there, I do believe there are signs posted and the point is enjoyed by many people young and old. Maybe we should see what can be done about a village New Year’s Eve bash at the point with fireworks … hmmm, anyone ?

Land O’Lakes Community Services have never stopped looking after their cients by Susan Andrew-Allen (Director of Programs)

and O’Lakes Community Services has been in our community since 1976. They continue to provide services in our community. Following is an update of what they have been offering during the Covid-19 pandemic. Maybe you never realized it, but Pine Meadow Nursing Home is a program of LOLCS. Through the stewardship of Margaret Palimaka, and her dedicated staff they have kept Pine Meadow residents & staff covid-19 free to date. This is amazing considering all we have been hearing about nursing homes and their outbreaks. LOLCS reopened their front doors on June 22/20, but they want you to know that they have been working behind those doors since the lockdown was declared to continue to bring their services to our community. When the pandemic was declared on March 30th the staff met quickly and devised a plan to keep their programs operating under the guidelines imposed by Public Health. Clients were notified as to what was happening and how they would be supported going forward. Working with various ministries they were able to procure the necessary disposable PPE equipment & hand sanitizer and have made this available to both their staff & volunteers. Staff are screened upon entering the building and before any community partners that rent space in the building will be allowed to return, they will complete a risk assessment. They have used teleconference calls to continue their regional meetings and they use their boardroom for counselling sessions all while maintaining social distancing. There are many people being supported in our community and LOLCS provided grocery & medication pickups & deliveries. Very generous donations were received, and boxes of food/meals were distributed to a number of households. Meals on Wheels continues with delicious meals being

delivered on Thursdays to Denbigh, Vennacher, Cloyne, Northbrook, Flinton, Kaladar, Harlowe & Henderson. This service is perfect for those having difficulty preparing hot meals, coming home from a hospital visit or just to enjoy a treat once in a while. During this unprecedented time, with COVID19 keeping Seniors isolated, LOLCS volunteers/staff have delivered close to 400 additional meals prepared by local businesses to help seniors in their catchment areas. There were many hundreds of care calls made to ensure people are well and have everything they need at home to maintain social distancing and to ensure overall wellbeing. This is also an opportunity for clients to have a social aspect to their mostly isolated time at home. Homemaking and Home Maintenance is just starting up again slowly with homemakers being required to wear masks and gloves, and to maintain social distancing. There are homemakers available to help seniors with light cleaning within the home, meal prep, and laundry Currently, our Foot Care Program and Dining Programs are on hold. The staff miss seeing their clients, but safety is paramount with regards to re-opening these programs. During this difficult time the Transportation Program has been used for such things as delivering medications, meals & groceries. The majority of medical appointments have been cancelled, but are now slowly starting up again. There have been a couple of regular drives that have continue through all of this using the same driver on a regular basis. The VON van has continued with driving patients to dialysis appointments. The Adult Protective Services (APS) program has provided face-to-face home visits throughout the past 3-4 months. These visits have taken place in parking lots, yards & doorsteps to ensure people are safe & well. This helps decrease

A long, hot, historic ride A

ccording to historical reports, it took about 6 hours for the old Kick and Push railroad to bring passengers from Renfrew to Kingston. That was if there were not breakdowns along the way Last Sunday, in the searing heat, it took a group of cyclists 50% longer, about 9 hours, to pedal the 170km trip over the K&P rail trail, with a detour or two along the way. The next morning, they did it all again, in reverse, in even hotter weather. The four riders are all associated with the Gravel Cup, a series of cycling events organised by Brendan Gorman, who led this ride with of COVID-19, so we took the opportunity to do this K&P Trail ride,” said Gorman, between gulps of water in a shady corner of the Rock Hill B&B just after noon on Sunday, July 26, just under 100 kilometers into the first leg of the ride. The cyclists were accompanied by an ATV, driven by a member of the Ontario Federation of ATV’s (OFATV). Cycling groups and the OFATV have forged an alliance in Renfrew County, participating in each other’s events.

the feelings of isolation & loneliness. This program has increased their trusteeship program duties at this time. Because of Covid 19 restrictions and the temporary closure of our BMO in Northbrook, the APSW has ensured that clients are able to pay their utility bills, rent, etc. and clients have easy access to their finances. They thank Jenifer Baker, the BMO Tweed manager and Richard Bryson, manager of Northbrook branch and their staff for all their help and support with this. The VAW (Violence Against Women) program and staff are working extremely hard, to make sure that the vulnerable women in our community receive the support they need. They are meeting with clients wherever they can while allowing for social distancing. They keep in touch by phone or internet, unfortunately some do not have access to either and the team leaders are doing their best trying to get around this, but it is difficult with spouses and children in these homes. They continue to provide transportation to and from shelters and other appointments as needed and they make referrals to other agencies for other needs that arise. They have created mental health packs for the children of their clients. They have been navigating through communications means like Zoom & teleconferencing with lawyers, customs & shelter staff. They continue to support their clients with their educational and employment goals with their continued partnership with Career Edge & Job Connection. Making the monthly women's support group meetings happen has been a challenge. They have been able to continue following the guidelines given out by Public Health. They assist women with housing, foodbank and other applications as needed. As this pandemic continues and shared with statistics on a national level, they have experienced an increase in new referrals and intakes. The staff and volunteers for LOLCS deserve a tremendous vote of thanks for all they have been doing to keep our community safe and their programs running. If you want to find out more about their services please contact them and inquire or better yet, think about joining their Board so you too can make a difference in your community.

Swimming tips from MLSP

i everyone, and welcome back to Week 3 of Swimming Tips & Water Safety with the Mazinaw Lake Swim Program. This week’s topic is drowning prevention, as last week was Drowning Prevention Week with the Lifesaving Society. An easy way to remember some drowning prevention tips is using the acronym, SWIM. Supervision is highly important in any body of water, such as lakes, pools, and even bathtubs. Water safety Include proper devices in your water outings such as lifejackets, water, flashlights, whistles or other sound making devices, and sun protective gear. Check the weather before your departure, and exit the water should it become dangerous. Make sure you are aware of your surroundings, and your own limits.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Another highly recommended skill is to become familiar with CPR procedures. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is what keeps the heart beating, therefore spreading oxygen throughout the body, and reducing the risks of permanent brain damage caused by the lack of oxygen when a victim goes unconscious. Q OF THE WEEK: Do you know the compression to breath ratio used in CPR? Answer to question from 2 weeks ago.: A whip kick is with your knees almost together, and moving your lower legs in circles AWAY from your midline with the feet flexed (Toes pointed towards your nose). It is used in breaststroke, as well as elementary backstroke. A flutter kick is with your legs straight, and kicking from the hips with your feet pointed (Toes pointed away from your nose).

Delivery or Curbside pick available. Keep up the good work self isolating and we will get through this. Continued from page 10 The ATV had to park in Verona, as they are not permitted on the K&P trail south of that point. The cyclists stopped at Back Forty Cheese in Mississippi Station, passed by the last remaining K&P station in Clarendon, and were happy to accept fruit, vegetables and water from Greg and Arlette Rodgers of the RockHill B&B, but they declined an offer of a swim in Sharbot Lake.
