Frontenac County remains essentially COVID free, but new province-wide restrictions still apply by Jeff Green

here is a small map of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington at the bottom right hand side of the Kingston Frontenac Public Health COVID-19 cases dashboard on their website.

If you float your cursor over South, Central, and North Frontenac, the same numbers will pop up now as popped up on June 30, 10 for South Frontenac, 3 for Central Frontenac, and 1 for North Frontenac (the number for Addington Highlands is 0) These numbers represent the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases among residents of each township since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Somehow, even with an influx of cottagers, tourists, and weekend visitors, there were no new COVID cases in Frontenac over the last 3 months. But since borders are fluid, the risk that school reopenings bring and the overall increase in COVID cases in Ontario, new restrictions have come into effect in recent days and weeks. One of the restrictions will have an impact on community halls that are just in the process of reopening. Last Saturday (September 19) the following was posted at Ontario.ca, the government site. “The new limit on the number of people allowed to attend an unmonitored private social gathering across the province is: 10 people at an indoor event or gathering (previous limit of 50); or 25 people at an outdoor event

or gathering (previous limit of 100). Indoor and outdoor events and gatherings cannot be merged together. Gatherings of 35 (25 outdoors and 10 indoors) are not permitted.” Minister of Health Christine Elliott said, "We are taking further action to slow the spread and limit new cases of COVID-19 by reducing the size of private social gatherings across Ontario. This action is based on the increasing case counts that we are seeing. As we continue to closely monitor the spread of this virus, we will never hesitate to take further action to protect the health and well-being of all Ontarians." There are exceptions to the rule, including “bars, restaurants, cinemas, convention centres, banquet halls that are staffed, gyms, places of worship, recreational sporting or performing art events” which will make the rules less onerous, but their impact on public events, like this week’s studio tour in North Frontenac and a planned car and ATV rally in the Sharbot Lake area, are not exactly clear. Restrictions that are in place within retirement homes have also caused controversy among residents. Last week, inspectors who were attending at Sharbot Lake Retirement and Retreat, to ensure that a number of issues they had raised in late August had been addressed, were greeted by the residents of the home, who had

questions about some of the rules that have recently been enforced. One of their main concerns centred around the requirement that they maintain a 2-metre distance between each other at all times, including during meal time. Given the size of the dining hall in the building, the 18 residents need to be split into two groups at mealtime. This makes mealtime, the main social event at the Retreat, less of an occasion, and because many of the residents have compromised hearing, “its as if we are eating alone. We might as well stay in our rooms,” said one resident.

Undaunted, Backroads Studio Tour marks the season T he North Frontenac Back Roads Studio Tour is on, this weekend September 26/27. It will be a little different than in

previous years, but there are a great variety of artists taking part. The 12 artists and artisans participating are in

7 locations in a shorter version of the tour than usual, centred around Plevna/Ardoch and highway 506. All of the artists have found sheltered outdoor spaces to set up their work for viewing, and several of the locations host more than one artist. In considering whether or not to do the tour this year, Covid precautions were on everyone’s mind, of course. However the participating artists feel sure that with the use of masks, hand sanitizer and social distancing, the tour can be very safe and successful again this year. Linda Rush and Cathy Owen are the painters on the tour, and both have new works to show. Michelle Ross will have her beautiful photographs. Always popular are pottery and jewellery, and Trina Gorr and Jim Craig will provide lots of interesting works in these me-

diums. Popular fabric artists back on the tour are Betty Hunter and Debbie Emery – Betty with her sewing and handwork, Debbie with her spectacular quilts. Richard Emery and Bobby Morrison both work in wood, in very different ways, and the Oosterlakens

will have their lovely concrete cast furniture and smaller objects available. To round out the skills for people to enjoy, Janis St. John does glass work and uses found objects to create sculptures, and Shaun and Heather Avery present customized home decor.

For details about the tour and a map, visit northfrontenacbackroadsstudiotour.com. Usually the last weekend in September has both lovely weather and beautiful autumn leaf colours. The artists are very much hoping for the same this year.

Guest EDITORIAL

Who benefits from crowded schools? “P andemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly,” says Dr. Tedros Adhanom, the DirectorGeneral World Health Organization. He is right. I am a grade 8 student at Module Vanier, and have started this school year in a full-blown pandemic. I must wear a mask from the moment I arrive at school to the moment I leave, except for the occasional snack or drink. The school now has strict rules about almost everything (where we must stand at recess, how we must walk to get there, no turning around in our desks, no standing within a meter of another student, no singing, etc.), but this week my class will be getting five or more students added to our already full class of 24 students. Why is this happening? The answer is that there aren’t enough teachers for both classroom and online learning. There are many teachers who are fully ready, happy, and qualified to be hired, but the provincial government just won’t provide the money to hire teachers, during a time when schools need it the most. Doug Ford’s cuts to school funding could cost Ontario lives. This isn’t just at my school, schools all around Ontario are having trouble keeping up with the new restrictions, the lack of space, and decrease in funding. Five more students, what’s the big deal? Well, for one, I have trouble imagining how these students will physically even get into our class. Each of our desks are exactly 1 meter apart with one meter along the edge of the class to move around. How will these students fit in? When I asked my teacher she just shrugged and said, “I guess we’ll figure it out.” Our classes are full to the brim, it is a feat everyday to get in and out of classes, and we all know this is a super contagious disease, so in a middle school full of teenagers… this is a problem that can’t be figured out in a few days time. School is a germ-fest at the best of times. No matter what preventative measures are put in place, it will always be a challenge; however, that is not saying that schools can ditch rules that would help keep us, teachers, and the community safe. We know that Covid-19 is extremely infectious and

can spread like wildfire. Take a moment to imagine that one of our students catches Covid. Now, because of the tight learning spaces, the rest of that class gets it. Now think of all the parents and grandparents that will be exposed. As you can see this can just amplify over and over. Kingston and Frontenac have done very well so far, but until now schools have been shut down, and a false sense of security can do much damage. People seem to think that the Ford government has been managing the pandemic well. And up until recently that has been reasonably true, because they have mostly been following the advice of experts. But, now, the Ford government seems determined to ignore experts and organizations, like the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, calling for class-size caps of 15, and has eliminated such caps all together,

resulting in 30 students in a class. Schools have done exceptionally well adapting in such crazy times, but this new announcement undermines the health and safety of members of our community. Who is this supposed to benefit from policies that pack 30 students into a class during a once-in-acentury pandemic? Surely not the students, who just as they were getting used to the complex web of rules must relearn them, find new friends, have new teachers, and feel less safe. It doesn’t benefit the teachers who will have to organize, instruct and lead a class of teenagers larger than they would have seen since they themselves were in kindergarten. No, this benefits no one except a government that is determined to “save money” by endangering the rest of our community. This is no solution

letters Thank you?

Three thoughts have risen faster than the dough which brought about this pain. (that'd be 'bread' if you're not following the bouncing ball): i) If unilingual English packaging appeared on bread in a Quebec grocery store, how long would it remain there before the jackboots of L'office Quebecois de la Langue Francaise yanked if off the store shelves; ii) Everybody's equal: it's just some people are more equal than others; and, iii) If I make French toast, will they taste different?

hank you so much to the person who left their baby’s soiled diaper on top of the garbage containers beside our outdoor mailboxes at Centennial Park. The containers were overstuffed with Tim Horton’s coffee cups and unwanted mail and even some kitchen garbage. I especially enjoyed the neatly tied dog poopy bag placed in front of the large container where we walk by to get to our boxes. Luckily it was pretty full, so it stayed in place. People, really? If the container is full, take your garbage home and dispose of it. This is especially recommended for dirty diapers and dog poop. Koodos should go to our garbage collectors who have to pick all this crap up and make this area people friendly. Brenda Crawford

Pain by any other name

've never been opposed to bilingualism. In fact, I made it a point to take French all the way through school many years ago long before it was mandatory. Despite this, I've always voiced my objection to Quebec's apartheid language laws: laws that were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and still requires Quebec to invoke the notwithstanding clause to maintain. We picked up bread at one of the local grocery stores last week and much to my surprise, and slight annoyance, the packaging was unilingual French. One needn't understand much French to know what poutine is, that La Rondelle doesn't play for the Habs nor that Pain Blanc is white bread and not a sibling to Mel, best known for his cartoon character voice-overs.

Fowler on tower

now Road Station is deep in the Mississippi River Valley. Wi-fi broadband and cell signals go right over this area. The Bell telephone service is substandard and uses out dated equipment and as a result there are many outages, some times for weeks which creates a very dangerous situation if one has to dial 911. Having this tower installed in Snow Roa Station and eventually serving the local area with cell service and broadband wi-fi is very important as a health and safety issue for myself and many of my neighbours mostly who are seniors and need reliable access to emergency communications. I do not care if I see this tower or its navigation lights. The local ANSI (area of natural and scientific interest) has already been disturbed by gravel pits and other development. “Species at risk” is not an issue as there is a “Fowler Toad” living in the area and I’m doing just fine.

CRINS rejects petition

n last week’s paper (Vol. 20, edition 37, September 17) on page 7, the North Frontenac Council report contained an item on the revised plan of condominium for Ardoch Lake. The item said that Councillor John Inglis voted against a motion supporting the plab. “I did NOT vote against accepting the revised Plan of Condominium for Ardoch Lake,” Inglis said in a letter to the News. “In fact, at the previous meeting I had said that if all waterfront lots met the zoning frontage requirement, I'd vote for it. And I did. What I voted against was another motion regarding the communal dock. I voted against allowing individual lot owners having docks, because one communal dock had been in the plan all along. I suggested

Continued from page 1 The Public Health Inspector told the residents that the measures are not in place to punish anyone, but were there because if one resident contracted COVID-19, they would all be at a high risk. “We are tested every two weeks,” said the resident. “That is great, but the test only shows you were COVID free when the test was taken, not after it was taken” said the inspector. The rules around dining and visiting, that residents also complained about, will stay in place.

less restrictive than the Long-Term Care Act, which applies at places like Fairmount Home and Pine Meadow Nursing Home. Under COVID Directive #3 for Long Term Care Homes, retirement residences and long term care homes are under the same COVID related restrictions. While the residents of Sharbot Lake Retirement and Retreat were having a hearing from a public health inspector, it was clear that Directive #3 is in force in full at those institutions in Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington where it applies, even though, to this point, there have been no cases at all When asked about that, the inspector said, "yes, and we want to keep it that way.

Paul Smith lives in Almonte and is a frequent visitor to the township, but is not a resident. The News regrets the errors.

Todd White's authority for this is the 2015 North Frontenac bylaw permitting CRINS to "receive and process" comments on the proposed tower.

The section hands saw him falling. When they picked him up he was unconscious in which state he remained up to last night.

Details and a map are available at northfrontenacbackroadsstudiotour.com. Social distancing should be easily done at each studio.

Celebrate that, don't let your uniqueness make you shy. Don't be someone other than the wonder you are. Remember every star is important to the sky" • Happy birthday to Rebecca Neadow, Violet & Johnny Skuce, Tom Commodore, Carol Vallier, Art Teal and Margaret Thompson. • Parham United Church, like many churches in this time of Covid crisis, is postponed but using their time wisely by repairing the church steeple and painting the roof, all under the direction of Charles Steele. As well, the church has painted their Christian Education (CE) Centre, kitchen and washrooms and thank everyone for their generosity, prayers and support. Parham United had planned to host a bake sale as part of the District 4 Recreation's Vendor sale planned for Sat. Oct. 3. District 4 has wisely cancelled that event due to the most recent Covid regulations. We must all try to do our best, follow the regulations, and be as responsible as we can. Thanks, everyone.

to Wayne and Judy Conway. They are leaving Verona and they will be greatly missed. Their contribution as volunteers has been immense. Wayne was involved in many organizations in Verona in key positions such as past president of the Verona Lions Club and president of the Verona Community Association. For many years he was the general manager of the Verona Cattail Festival. Judy was by Wayne's side as an active member of the Lions Club and the VCA. No matter the size of the job, as volunteers Wayne and Judy were always there to help out. They were recently honoured by the South Frontenac Township Council "for their many years of dedicated service to South Frontenac and their commitment to the Verona Community." Judy and Wayne, we wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.

Let’s brighten some spirits before gloomy winter arrives and decorate as much as we can, we’ve had amazing pumpkin people in our village. Let’s get creative Sydenham.

What is Fear Avoidance Behaviour?

When it comes to spine, muscle, and nervous system pain, it has been well-established that those who experience chronic pain (pain experienced more than 3 months) will often avoid certain activities due to fear of making the injury worse. Although this might be helpful to prevent harm in the short term, if allowed to persist, avoiding everyday activities can lead to physical and psychological consequences that can contribute to disability and chronic pain. This phenomenon is known as “fear-avoidance,” which, simply enough, means that we avoid certain activities because we fear they will have a negative impact on our health and well-being, specifically with respect to pain. Three things are needed to define a fear-avoidant behaviour: An initial injury that causes pain: After an initial injury, like an ankle sprain, a pain signal is sent to the brain to protect the body from further damage. How someone interprets their pain: An extremely negative interpretation of pain results in psychological (depression) and behavioural (avoidance of activity) fear responses, may eventually lead to a decrease in function. How someone’s perception changes as a result of their pain: A change in pain perception that leads to an individual cycling back to the initial stage of injury, which leads to more pain instead of recovery. Current evidence has shown that fear-avoidance is related to increased pain, physical disability, and depression in individuals with chronic pain. Fear-avoidance–based treatments (which include education about fear and avoidance and an exercise program) have been successful in reducing chronic pain.

The South Frontenac Museum: Bringing Our History, Art and Culture To Life

Wood Block Set – How Very Puzzling

efore children learn to read and write, babies and toddlers must learn the very

basics – fine motor skills, counting and understanding basic shapes and objects.

Reopening schools safely matters to everyone That’s why the government of Ontario has worked with health officials, school boards and educators to develop a comprehensive plan to keep kids and staff safe. • Physical distancing measures will be implemented such as desk separation, signs, ﬂoor markings and one-way hallways. • Face coverings will be required for staff and students in Grades 4-12. • Hand hygiene will be enabled with hand sanitizer and hand washing. • More nurses will be in schools. • School cleaning will be enhanced.

Puzzles made from wooden blocks taught and challenged the littlest members of each family, teaching them the necessary skills of memory, brain exercise, how to use their hands and maneuver items, and more! This wooden block set emerged from the 1880s in Victorian England. Although the paper on the blocks are well-worn and hard to discern, the images would form depictions of animals typical of the English countryside – a goat, a dog, a cat, a cow, a rooster and a horse. The child would use the image cards on the inside of the box to try to solve the puzzle, and when completed, all of the blocks would remain nicely contained within the box. Many settlers in the South Frontenac region would have come from British descent. Bringing with them a toy from their former home or gifting a child wooden blocks when a family member came to visit would be a marker of their former heritage in their new land. The animals depicted on the blocks would also help children in rural communities identify the animals that they would likely be surrounded by on the farm. This toy would reflect aspects of everyday life that a child would grow accustomed to. Well worn, the paper that contained the images on each wooden block was printed using the chemical process of chromolithog-

raphy. This type of early printing in the late

1800s, reflective of the period such wooden block toys would be used. The image would be applied to stone, such as limestone or zinc, and then traced over, using a gumlike substance and nitric acid. This process could take even the most skilled workers months to produce. It is likely that this particular wood block set in the care of the South Frontenac Museum was very precious to and well-cared for by the family who owned it.

Cost overrun covered

Work proceeding on K&P Trail between Sharbot Lake and Clarendon by Jeff Green

he upgrade of the K&P trail between Sharbot Lake and Clarendon has been a much simpler project than the previous piece of trail, the stretch from Bradshaw Road (just north of Tichborne to Sharbot Lake.) The previous piece had been cut up and sold off to neighbouring landowners, requiring a re-purchase and new trail construction. The current piece was purchased by the township of Oso 40 years ago and has been a public trail ever since, but it needed an upgrade in order to be in the same condition as the brand-new section to the south. The upgrade was slated for the 2020 construction season, after being approved as part of the 2020 Frontenac County budget. However, the lowest quote that came in from a request for quotation process was over $925,000, and only $580,000 had been allocated to the project. The bidder, Crain’s Construction, agreed to limit the scope of work to fit the county budget, but in the end the project will need an infusion of $90,000, bringing the cost to

$670,000, in order to ensure that the new section is finished with the same fine stone dust and safety features as the rest of the K&P Trail. In a report to Frontenac County Council’s September 16 meeting, Richard Allen, manager of economic development, wrote: “The Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program (OMCCP) has already approved funding that can be used to cover the costs associated with the development of the trail within close proximity to Sharbot Lake. This funding will cover up to 80% [$70,000] of a project that will improve conditions for commuter cycling and must be used by the end of 2020. Staff are proposing to increase the K&P Trail project budget by the $90,000 associated with the OMCCP program in order to complete all works as planned.” The remaining $20,000 will come from surplus funds from the trail’s operational budget for 2020. Council approved the staff proposal. The project is nearing completion.

Robert Donald Charles Price - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Rob Price in his 50th year. Rob was an adoring husband and best friend to Brenda. Survived by loving parents Gerald and Norma Price and sister Shelley Price. Step-father to Robert (Sarah), Sheena (Devon), and Zachary (Melissa). “Robbie” loved to spend his time with his grandchildren taking them tubing, for side by side and backhoe rides and playing. He will be missed the most by Maddy, Chloe, Oliver, Taylor, Austin, Blake, Owen and Aiden. With every grandchild that arrived he became more wrapped around their fingers and more compliant to their every demand and desire. Rob was a brotherin-law to Fred (Iona), Charlie (Judy), Virginia (Brian), John (Janice) and Gary (Donna). He will be forever remembered by many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and friends. Rob was a special nephew to Uncle Jack, who will miss their moose hunting adventures and Aunt Frona who will miss their yearly fish fry and chauffeured boat rides. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to Central Frontenac Fire & Rescue, County of Frontenac Paramedics, OPP officers and the Perth & Smith Falls District Hospital for the compassion and professionalism they showed to us during this difficult time. Our most heartfelt gratitude for Devon McQuillan’s immediate and courageous efforts. Memorial donations in memory of Rob can be made to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters or the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Online condolences and memories can be shared with the family at www.goodfellowsfuneralhome.com

Hugh Segal was introduced by former SFCS board member Duncan Sinclair, who said that one of the things he re-

Continued from page 10 Railway Heritage Society grant. Council approved a $1,000/year grant to the Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society to cover Hydro Costs (about $600) and other operating costs (such as insurance which is about $600). While there was discussion about bringing the Society under the Township’s insurance, the Society expressed a desire to maintain their autonomy as it would have to be a township committee to be covered under the township insurance policy. Off and on the roads Council amended its off road vehicle bylaw to allow off road motorcycles and extreme terrain vehicles (like Argos) to operate on its roads. The Highway Traffic Act requires that such vehicles operate at speeds well below that which cars are allowed.

Rallys Automobile and ATV rallys are planned for this fall by the Oso Rec Committee. Representative Bill Bowick said the rallys, dubbed the ‘Turkey Tour’ “can be done (safely, given covid concerns). It’s just a matter of logistics.” Monument to move The Lions Monument currently at Glen Fosey Park will be moved to Railway Heritage Park beside the Lions Bench. Fire department stats for summer Fire Chief Jamie Riddell reported that Station 1 (Arden) was the busiest of Central Frontenac’s fire stations with 13 calls in August (1 fire, 6 medical, 1 vehicle accident, four training exercises and 1 other activity). Station 4 (Parham) had 10 calls and the other two (Mountain Grove and Sharbot Lake) had 9 each. In August of 2019, Sharbot Lake had 16 calls, Parham 12 and the other two 11 each.

With a prime location to catch both local residents and people heading north for a day at the cottage or in Frontenac Park, sales were brisk all morning, raising more than $700 for the local food bank. A great big thank you goes to the Social Events Committee for organizing this event; Mayor Vandewal and Councillor Roberts for helping to set up and take down tables and carry out all the goods; Makayla Sutherland, Bonnie Robinson, Neil Carbone and Claire Dodds, ; Public Services staff for the behind the scenes stuff, bringing tables and road barriers; all who donated sale items, and former CAO Wayne Orr who brought a table full of his retirement handicrafts

Residents enjoy taste of normalcy in Battersea

by John Curran

even months into the global pandemic and folks around South Frontenac are savouring every small return to freedom the ongoing public health crisis safely allows. That’s been good news for Jeff Day and his partner in life and business Core Lee, who together own and operate the Holiday Country Manor in Battersea. The Loughborough lakefront resort was hit hard in March when everything locked down. “We typically rely on guests from Toronto, Montreal as well as Europeans and people from the U.S.,” said Day. “Our bedrooms have been closed since March, so we’ve definitely been impacted.” With a patio attached to the stately 1840s stone house-turned resort, the business has been able to reopen on a limited basis in recent months as restrictions have eased. There are still no guests allowed in the resort and the dining room remains closed, but outside diners are clustered in socially distanced pods and a steady stream of orders is pouring in over the phone for delivery and takeout from Jeff’s Patio. “When the weather is nice, people are coming out and enjoying the patio but if there’s any sign of rain they’re staying home, it’s extremely weather dependent,” added Day. “We’re doing a lot of takeout, it’s still not a regular dinner service, but at this point it’s September so we’re running into our shoulder season and we’re happy our takeout demand is still really steady… before this we’d never even tried doing takeout service.” Making the trip across the Round Lake Road to Battersea for an evening out at Jeff’s were Perth Road residents Gerald van Wyngaarden, his sister Wilma van Wyngaarden and their tenant Ingrid Uebbing. “It’s cool to have something like this available in the area to come to and enjoy dinner out without having to go into Kingston,” said Gerald. “Core Lee is great in the kitchen – everything he cooks up is amazing – and Jeff is really good at running the front of house.” Last week Jeff’s Patio was featuring an Asian theme in addition to its regular menu. Diners could choose from sweet and sour pork with fried rice, lemon chicken with fried rice, barbecue pork with shanghai noodles, or handmade pork and cabbage eggrolls. “People really seem to enjoy our special themes that Core’s been cooking,” said Day. “We’ve also had Greek, Italian and Caribbean theme weeks… every week it’s different, which is nice for people who have been ordering a lot.” For the record, Wilma and Ingrid each said they prefer the lemon chicken while Gerald is a big fan of the barbecue pork and noodles. As for what brought the trio out on a Thursday evening, Uebbing was clear she made the call. “I’ll take the blame for that tonight. I worked hard all day in the garden and doing other chores and didn’t feel like cook-

ing,” she said. “It’s nice to get out and feel like it’s a little closer to back to normal.” Wilma agreed and said the three have been frequenting Jeff’s Patio since it reopened a couple of months ago. “Jeff and Core are a really nice couple,” she said. “We had them over for dinner last year before COVID hit, and we’ll hopefully get to do it again at some point.” It’s taken more than friendship and fresh meal ideas to navigate the past few months, but Day said they are happy to be facing 2020 in Battersea rather than some big urban centre. “We took over the Holiday Country Manor four and a half years ago and started fixing it up when we moved here from Toronto,” he explained, adding it was a homecoming of sorts for him having grown up not far away in Westport. “I’ve talked to a lot of people we know who still live in and around Toronto and I can’t imagine going through this there.” The fall may yet bring a wider reopening of the Manor, but for now the biggest thing set on their forward-looking radar is Thanksgiving. “We’ve traditionally done a huge

Thanksgiving buffet and it has always been a big draw with families of 25 and 30 people showing up – unfortunately that’s out for this year,” said Day. “We will still be doing a traditional turkey dinner and we’ll have plated service here on the patio or meals available for takeout. We may also do something else in a family-style pack-

age, but people will need to check the menu to see on that last one.” The menu is updated weekly on the Manor’s website, www.holidaycountrymanor.com. There you will also find updates on the resort’s reopening status going forward.

North Frontenac Little Theatre update W

e would like to reassure all our loyal followers that it would take more than a pandemic to bring down the final curtain on NFLT. We've lasted 40 years after all! When the lockdown occurred in March we were forced to cancel the Spring production "Kiara's Coming Home". It was a terrible disappointment for Cast and Crew who were looking forward to performing at our new venue, OSO Township Hall. Since then Jeff Siamon, Brian Robertson, Derek Redmond and Art Holloway have been working together negotiating with Township Council and Andy Dillon, Chief Building Official, over installation of our theatre lights. This has been challenging to orchestrate since the Hall ceiling renovations are about to begin. Traditionally NFLT holds its AGM in May after the Spring production. After a Zoom meeting of the Executive in May a decision was made to postpone the AGM until we had a clearer picture of what was happening with the lockdown in place. During the summer a lot of political negotiating took place between NFLT members of the
