SF Deputy Mayor Pat Barr – 1950-2021 By Jeff Green he sudden cancellation of a meeting of South Frontenac Council on Tuesday (October 5), was left without explanation until late in the week, when Mayor Ron Vandewal published an open letter announcing the death of Deputy Mayor Pat Barr. The letter reads, in part: “It is with great sadness that I share the news of Councillor Patricia ‘Pat’ Barr’s passing on Tuesday October 5, 2021. South Frontenac Council and staff have been shocked by this news and will miss her warm personality and thoughtful approach around the council table. “Born and raised in Bedford Township (now Bedford District, in the northern end of South Frontenac), Pat grew up in a politically savvy household, where her father was both a councillor and reeve prior to the amalgamation of Bedford Township with the newly formed Township of South Frontenac in 1998. After returning to her family home and community, she joined Council in 2013, with the promise of making life in South Frontenac better for her friends and neighbours. “Her degree in geography, education in agriculture, dedication to recreation and desire to preserve the community’s heritage, prepared her to be an active voice on council over the past 8 years. It goes without saying that her contributions to the community as a member of council have been vast and impactful for the residents of Bedford district and the greater South Frontenac Community.” Barr had been very ill in late 2020 into 2021 when she was hospitalised for four months with symptoms of both Lyme Disease and Anaplasmosis, which are both tickborne diseases. Her stay in hospital included one month in a coma. Lee Dillabough, her husband of 15 years, said that she felt that the more information about the dangers posed by ticks, and how to respond to symptoms of Lyme, and other conditions, would help prevent suffering. She was in line to take on the Deputy Mayor role in South Frontenac for 2021, but because of her illness, Ray Leonard from Portland District, who was slated to

“Those who knew Councillor Barr know she was never without a story or a smile to share, and took pride in the work she did with the township. She will be greatly missed by everyone in the municipal organisation, not to mention the many members of the community who had the privilege of being touched by her kindness,” said Ron Vandewal, “Thank you Councillor Pat Barr for everything you have done for South Frontenac and its residents. We will keep your spirit in our thoughts and actions as we continue striving to make this community a better place, just as you did for so many years.” Before her retirement, Pat Barr worked for Loblaws, in Ottawa, for a number of years, before returning to her home community of Burridge to care for her father when he became ill. A keen traveler, she visited Hawaii and the Caribbean, and took at least 3 trips to Europe. In what turned out to be her final trip to Europe in 2017, she visited some of the battlefields of World War II where members of her family had fought, and visited the gravesite of a family member who died in combat during the war. On Council, she was known for her dry wit and a tendency to speak her mind. She will be keenly missed by her husband Lee, and members of the Barr family.

South Frontenac councillor Pat Barr passed away on October 5,.

At the rescheduled council meeting from October, which took place on Tuesday, October 12, council paused to reflect on the role Pat Barr played on council since 2013, and in Bedford District over many years. Council will consider its options for a replacement Bedford representative to serve out the remaining 14 months of the current council term, later this month. There was no third-place candidate in Bedford in 2018, as both Barr and Councillor Alan Revill were acclaimed, as they had also been in 2014. She finished 3rd in 2010 and was appointed to council in 2013 when the late Mark Tinlin, who had been elected in 2010, left the region. Her father Carl served as Reeve of the former Bedford Township in the 1990’s.■

Un-Vaccinated Population Twice As Contagious, Studies Suggest

By Jeff Green hen COVID-19 vaccinations were being studied for approval, two major criteria were considered, are they safe and are they effective. Effectiveness is determined by the degree to which they protect those who receive the vaccination. But one thing that is not studied, at least in the initial stages, is whether vaccinated people are less contagious than vaccinated people. The vaccines were shown to be affective at preventing the virus from gaining a foothold and producing an illness in those who are vaccinated, but whether the virus is able to use an inhospitable host as a conduit to get to a new host is not that well studied. According to Dr. Hugh Guan of Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health (KFLAPH) a large study in the United Kingdom of health workers and their families has provided a preliminary answer. The study looked at the households of vaccinated and unvaccinated health care workers, and found that more household members of unvaccinated workers devel-

be the Deputy Mayor in 2022, took on the role, a year in advance. “Pat made a remarkable recovery in the spring, and was able to return to council, a job that she loved and took very seriously,” said Dillabough. After her return, she was sworn as a Deputy Mayor in May of this year, and Council amended the term of the Deputy Mayor to permit her to remain in the role until May of 2022, when Ray Leonard would take over for the final few months of the current council term. Her health continued to improve over the summer and into the fall, but took a sudden devastating turn during the first weekend of October, and her intestinal system, which had been most impacted early in the year, failed. She passed early in the morning on October 5.

School Colours

ome guys will do anything to cover up their grey hair. The school community at North Addington Education Centre in Cloyne have always taken pride in raising funds for the Terry Fox School Run. After all Terry Fox passed through Kaladar on his famous run. This year the goal of $2,500 was easily reached, and the school started to look at reaching its all time record, from way back in 2004, $4743.60. To provide further motivation, the school's Principal, John Mooney, and Vice Principal. Jamie McCullough, got involved. The school colours are yellow and green and they committed to dying their hair yellow (Mooney) and green (McCullough) if that total was reached. Late last week, as the $4,000 mark was reached and exceeded, plans were made for the dye job, just in case. By the Friday before Thanksgiving, the old record had easily been surpassed, and a new mark of $6,800 had been set. VP McCullough followed through on the weekend, posting a video of his dye job on Twitter. Principal Mooney will have yellow hair by the end of this week. The fundraising campaign didn't slow down over the long weekend, however. By Tuesday afternoon, the total amount raised was at $7606.20. And counting.

Focus Groups To Look At Social Impacts Of Lyme Disease

By Jeff Green ingston and the surrounding area, including parts of South Frontenac, have become known as a so-called sentinel site for the Canadian Lyme Disease Research Network. Not only is Queen’s University a founding partner in the network, but Kieran Moore, former Medical Officer of Health for the region, is still listed as the Network’s Director. That is one of the reasons why it is one of the subject regions in a national study out of the Universite de Montreal (UM) that is looking at the impact of ticks on the daily lives of people in a number of regions across the country. Natasha Nofal, a PHD candidate at the UM, will be facilitating zoom-based focus group conversations about the impact of Lyme, on rural and urban lifestyles, in late October. “We put out a call for participants last week through our partners in local public health (KFLAPH), [through a twitter post] and received a very strong response,” she said, “people are really engaged in this issue.” In addition to KFL&A, Nofal is con-

ducting focus group conversations with Vancouver residents, people from the Estrie-Monteregie region in Quebec, and residents of the Lunenburg region in Nova Scotia. “Vancouver is in there because it is not a region where Lyme is considered endemic. It is sort of like a control group. The three other regions are all considered endemic for Lyme,” she said. The focus groups are looking at the impact on behaviours among the entire community, not only people who have already contracted Lyme. “In some of the focus groups we have conducted in other parts of the country, we have been hearing from people who are not letting their children go outside anymore, who have changed the way they garden, and the way they care for their pets. The changes people are making to their healthy lifestyles are what we are trying to understand with this study,” she said. “The questions we will be asking will be open-ended so we hope to get a real sense of the concerns people have. The insights that come from this study will be integrated with other research findings that the research network is coordinating. The team at the UM is also developing a large survey for next year that will be conducted across the country. The study differs from other studies that have been done around Lyme Disease because it looks at the impact of Lyme at the community level, instead of focussing solely on people who have contracted the disease.

“Our research group takes what we call a ‘one health approach”, said Nofal, who has shifted her professional focus to research after working as a veterinarian for a decade. “It is an approach that is important to my research supervisor, and it is a major interest of mine. It is important to look at how Lyme disease arrives in the first place, at the environmental factors, how it moves from one species to another and its impacts on each species.” Lyme, and other tick-borne diseases that are associated with the black

legged tick, are ideal subjects for this approach, since the spread of the territory of the ticks has been a result of climate change, both deer and dogs suffer health impacts from the ticks, and cats are not impacted by the ticks but are ideal carriers. “When we look at disease, it is important to look at everything together,” Nofal said.

High Speed Internet Coming To Addington Highlands by Craig Bakay fter more than a year of flawless online meetings, it was bound to happen sooner or later. The audio portion of Addington Highlands Council’s Oct. 5 meeting simply didn’t come through to the YouTube feed. You could see them, but what came through audibly was garbled beyond recognition. “We didn’t know it was happening,” said CAO/Clerk Christine Reed. “If we had known, we’d have recessed and tried to fix it. “I don’t know what the problem was but we’ll have someone from the County in and we hope to have it resolved by the next Council meeting (Oct.19).” Perhaps somewhat ironically, one of the larger items being discussed on Oct. 5 presented some good news on the electronics communications front. Council did approve sending a letter of concurrence to Rogers Communications regarding a new communications tower at the Mazinaw Lakeside Resort. But that’s not all. Council received correspondence from Rogers concerning the new tower site in Denbigh as well as proposals for three other locations (Hwy 41 and Massanoga, Hwy 41 and Slate Falls Rd. and Snider Road and Matawatchan Road). “As people rely more on wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops for business and personal use, network improvements are required to ensure high quality voice and data services are available,” Rogers said. “As a Tier 1 Carrier, Rogers’ federal mandate is to fill coverage gaps such that all residents have access to high speed broadband services.” “Improvements will be all along the 41 corridor in the beginning,” said Reed. “This is an encouraging development,” said Reeve Henry Hogg in an interview the day after the meeting. “This is part of the Eastern Ontario Cell Gap project and there’s federal money going into it. “We haven’t had much cell coverage and internet too.”

Hogg said that given trends happening during the pandemic, this could bode quite well for the future of the Township. “It’s a start,” he said. “I think people can relocate here and this could encourage them to work from home. “I’m optimistic.” Hogg said that wireless communication and banking was part of his election platform. “We even have an ATM at the Foodland now, meaning we don’t all have to depend on the Bank of Montreal.” Crown Land Stewardship in AH Council added Joel Arthurs and Bruce Schwenger to the Working Group studying a potential Crown Land Stewardship Program with Arthurs representing lake associations and Schwenger representing residents. However, while he’s prepared to discuss it, Reeve Henry Hogg said he has some “reservations” about the whole idea of creating a system similar to what neighbouring North Frontenac Township has developed. “I have some concerns,” Hogg said. “I see it as being very expensive. “We’d have to hire some people and get some new equipment to build roads and then we’d have to maintain them — they can’t be just forest access roads.” He said the roads will have to be maintained as well as any potential campsites and “you can’t just send one person out, it has to be two.” He said the Township would likely have to obtain some boats and there will be acquisitions in terms of computers and software for booking sites. “It’s a concern,” he said. Pigeon removal – discs favoured over nets, or guns CBO David Twiddy thinks he might have come up with a solution to all the pigeons roosting in the outdoor arena in Finton. The pigeons seem to have moved in to a shadowed location in the roof of the west wall of the arena which is sheltered from the wind and elements. While the birds themselves aren’t that big of a problem, what they leave behind, ie pigeon poop, is SINCE 1970

and not only are the droppings a potential health hazard, who wants to sit on benches covered in pigeon poop? Spurred on by Coun. Helen Yanch, Twiddy has looked at various potential solutions including $57,000 worth of netting and offers of .410 owners to clean them out. But neither solution was deemed acceptable. So, he contacted Orkin Canada, who suggested a rather sci-fi solution, something called Optical Gel Disks.

We are looking for feedback from people in both the City of Kingston and Frontenac County to make sure we are serving library users’ needs. "Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of everyone in Kingston-Frontenac. To do that, our hours of operation need to meet the needs of each community,” explained Kimberly Sutherland Mills, Director, Service Design and Delivery. "We're reviewing how we can best use the hours we have available to provide the best possible service. Whether that means open hours during your after-work commute, or perhaps having hours at all the libraries near your home aligned so that you have better access, your feedback is essential to these decisions."

“The salesperson said the six-inch disks give off a low-level sound that creates the impression the disks are on fire and the pigeons won’t go near them,” Twiddy said. “They also have a lemon scent that the birds don’t like.” Twiddy said they’d probably need about 740 of the disks spaced six inches apart but even so, “it will probably cost onetwentieth of what we’d have to pay for netting. “We’re now looking for a quote.” ■

We encourage users to fill out a short survey to share feedback, which should only take about 10 minutes to complete. The survey will stay open until October 31 online. It also gives users an opportunity to let us know how they use digital collections, and to share ideas for Mobile Branch locations. Find the branch hours survey online at bit.ly/BranchHoursSurvey, at community.kfpl.ca, or on our main page at kfpl. ca. There are also printed versions of the survey available at all branches. There may be further opportunities for community engagement at a later date, such as a focus group or open house. ibrary staff will review all survey responses and prepare a final report by November 30, which will be posted at community.kfpl.ca.

• Hope everyone had their tummies full of turkey and an enjoyable with friends and family. • The fall leaves are beautiful with different colours falling gently to the ground. Old man winter is around the corner. So far we have been lucky; not frost yet. • Our sympathy goes out to the Crockett family on the passing of Norma. She was born here in Harlowe, later moved to Colborne. We grew up together (many years ago). Her maiden name was Gray. • The two old crows (the late bloomers) will be celebrating on Wednesday, the 13th, George and I. 14 years of marriage. How sweet it is! • I hear that music and dancing will be wide open in Napanee on Sunday. It sure does not make sense when the restaurants cannot be open to capacity. My idea is, it is still risky out there with COVID lingering. Don’t forget to play it safe.

Oct. 23 from 10:00 – 2:00 and it will be a fun and yummy time. Proceeds aid the Henderson UCW group, who support both the Henderson hall and the church. Many vendors are coming - featuring jams, jellies, knitting, crafts, bath and body products, clothes and many items for Christmas presents and decorating. Come and have a visit and there will be home baking sales, along with a grab and go lunch to purchase, and loads of fun. Our own Angela Deline, who hails from our village is one of the many vendors.

• A beautiful and productive week is behind us once again. On Thanksgiving weekend, it’s nice to take an extra moment to reflect on all the positive things we have going on. By the time you read this, most of our turkey-times get-togethers will be behind us. But, this morning I’m thankful for the health of my family. And very much looking forward to being able to have a nice big feast with my Grandparents, Wayne & Mary Abrams in Sydenham, joined by more of our close family and friends. Perhaps as time has gone by, and we have figured out more easily how to navigate the pandemic, these gatherings won’t be such a source of anxiety, and more a place of pure thanks for being able to spend time with the people who are most special to us. • District #4 Recreation Committee has closed up the Community Pantry for the season. Thank you to everyone who has donated to make this another successful year. Left over items will be donated to the Sharbot Lake Food Bank. • With Hallowe'en quickly approaching, District #4 Recreation Committee will be handing out candy at the home of Mrs. Mary Howes in Parham. Stay safe.

Tips to Plant & Rake Without the Ache!

Gardening is a great outdoor activity that many enjoy in spring! But, like any other place, the garden is also a place where injury can occur. Here are some tips to help you keep your back in check and your garden bloom. 1. Warm up before you start: Before you start, warm up your muscles with a brisk 10-minute walk. Swing your arm and lift your knees to enhance the benefit. Warm-ups can improve muscle dynamics to reduce injury and help prepare the body for the stresses of exercise. 2. Stretch: Repeat each of the stretches mentioned below, five times on each side and hold for 15 seconds. Relax and do not overextend. For your sides, extend your right arm over your head, then bend towards the left from the waist. Next, hold one arm out in front of you, palm down. Bend your wrist until the fingers point to the ground; use your opposite hand to hold this position. Next hold one arm in front of you and place your palm in the “stop” position; use your opposite hand to hold this position. Place your hands in “prayer” position, and press your palms together. Lastly, for your back, begin in a seated position, bend forward from the hips, keeping your head down. Touch your fingers to the ground. 3. Bend your knees to lift: Before lifting, position yourself close to the object. Keep your back straight and bend your knees using your leg and arm muscles to smoothly and slowly lift the load. Keep the load close to your body and pivot—don’t twist—to turn.

good news. One patient, who had been in the ICU in the days preceding the Thanksgiving weekend, has left hospital. There were no patients in hospital in the region, as of October 10. 6 people have died of COVID in KFLAPH since the onset of the pandemic began, none since early July. Vaccine rate increase has slowed. The first dose vaccination rate in

KFLAPH is now within 2 percentage points of the 90% target at 88.1%, and the fully vaccinated rate is up to 83.3% of the eligible population. The rate per week has slowed to just under 900 first doses and over 1600 second doses. If that rate remains steady, 90% of the population will have their first dose by mid-November, and 90% will be fully vaccinated by the end of the year. ■

Last Call Wraps Up Celtic Kitchen Party’s Trilogy Of Albums

ast Call is Celtic Kitchen Party’s final installment in the North of Princess trilogy of albums, which also includes Lobster Tail and Beer and Sociable. Basically, if you liked the first two, you’ll like this one as it’s pretty much more of the same. But that’s OK. Five of the 13 tracks are listed as traditional and that’s very much a part of what you’re expecting when you listen to a band with Celtic in the name. The album starts off rockin’, with traditional tunes Sean Ryan’s Polka/Irish Rover and Tell Me Ma/Swamplake Breakdown. Fans of the old Don Messer’s Jubilee TV show may recognize that one. The third track, The Temperance Song, keeps the up tempo beat going and is a band original. For the fourth tune, they chose Dirty Old Town, and did a nice job on the old standard. That’s followed up by Whiskey in the Jar/Whiskey Before Breakfast, traditional tunes done just how you’d like them to be. The sixth track is a bit of an anomaly and somewhat mysterious. It’s titled Covid-19 Shanty, penned by Andrew Vanhorn and D. Ryan. It’s about, as you might expect, the pandemic we’ve all been experiencing and particularly about the effects of lockdown. However, the liner notes say that the album was recorded live off the floor at North of Princess Studios May 8 and 9, 2018. Here’s the problem, the World Health Organization declared covid-19 a public health emergency of international concern on Jan. 30, 2020

and a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Perhaps Vanhorn is a psychic? But, it’s not a bad tune and one of the better covidinspired pieces out there, and there are many forgettable ones. The album continues with a couple of ballads, originals Just For Tonight and On the Banks (of the Rideau River). Didn’t George Martin once say not to slot ballads back to back on an album? Following that comes Auld Lang Syne (yes, the New Year’s favorite) and while it starts of kinda slow and dreary, it picks up nicely for the second half. Next is a short instrumental called Macpherson’s lament and then a Vanhorn original called Big Break. Big Break is the least Celtic song on the album and one every local musician can probably relate to. That’s followed by The Immigrant, a love letter to Canada which probably suffers from a cliché or two (land of milk and honey, make my dreams come true) but is otherwise solid. The did, however, save the best for last. Roll On Home is an original “I got too drunk” song and we never have enough of those. It’s essentially about the advantages of a pub being at the top of a hill and being fortunate enough to live at the bottom of said hill, thus being able to ‘roll on home.’ Overall, the album is consistent and competent, if not terribly creative. Fans of the band and/or Celtic music in general won’t be disappointed though. ■

Ombudson Clears South Frontenac After Complaint About Closed Meeting By Jeff Green ontroversy has dogged over the Johnston Point project in South Frontenac since it was first proposed, and even after final approval for a “Vacant Land” Plan of Condominium has finally cleared all appeals, and been approved by Frontenac County Council, the project is still the subject of scrutiny. The latest challenge came in the form of a complaint to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman over a closed meeting that the township held in July to discuss some remaining legal manners pertaining to the project. The complaint, as explained by the report of the Ombudsman's office that was received by the township on September 29, was that at the meeting with the township's solicitor, the discussion strayed from confidential matters to other matters related to the project. All matters that come before a municipal council must be discussed in public, according to the Ontario Municipal Act, with certain exceptions. One of those exceptions related to matters which come under solicitor-client privilege. In his letter to Council, Paul Dube, the Ombudsman, described it in this way: “Per s. 239(2)(f) of the [Municipal]Act, a meeting or part of a meeting may be closed to the public if the subject matter being considered is advice that is subject to solicitor-client

www.trousdalefuneralhome.com

privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose.” Dube said that “the complaint to my office suggested that the discussion did not fit within the exception, as the presentation included information about the project that was not confidential.” Dube said that his office interviewed South Frontenac Mayor Ron Vandewal as part of their investigation. “The mayor told us that the objective of the meeting was to advise council of the township’s legal obligations around the Johnston Point Development. During the meeting, the township’s solicitor actively participated in the discussion, providing confidential legal advice and responding to questions posed by Council. Accordingly, Council’s discussion fit within the exception for solicitor-client privilege. “ But as to the claim in the complaint that the discussion strayed from confidential matters to other matters, Dube said “the courts have found that it is unrealistic to expect Council to parse its discussion where it would detract from free and uninterrupted discussion. Here, it was not possible for Council to separate the confidential legal advice from the general information about the development project. The topics were entwined in such a way that it would not have been realistic to expect Council to parse them.” He therefore concluded that “Council for the township did not contravene the open meeting requirements on July 13, 2021, when meeting in closed session to discuss the Johnston Point Development.”■

Community Foundation Helps Fund Emergency Generator Project For Lakelands FHT

he Community Foundation for T Lennox and Addington (CF-LA), in partnership with the Mazinaw

Community Fund, Lakelands Family Health Team and the Township of Addington Highlands, are pleased to announce the installation of emergency back-up generators at the community medical clinics During these extraordinary times, area residents are increasingly aware of the importance of access to dependable health care. The emergency generators will be installed at both the Northbrook Medical Centre and at the Addington Highlands Community Centre in Denbigh. For many years Dr. Tobia and Lakelands Family Health Team, with clinics in Northbrook and Denbigh, joined more recently by the Northbrook pharmacy, have offered medical advice and comforting assistance to the local community. Because of frequent power outages over the years, it became very apparent that auxiliary electricity was necessary for these locations. Local community activists Margaret Axford and Ian Brumell recognized this need and, taking advice from Dr. Tobia and Lakelands Family Health Team, in conjunction with their Mazinaw Community Fund, decided to give back and partially fund these auxiliary power installations. Jan Powell, Executive Director of the Lakelands Family Health Team, explains the importance of the project. "Lakelands Family Health Team requires power to run the clinics on a daily basis. Power is needed for our electronic medical records, heating, cooling, security, water, and electrical systems. Historically, we have needed to close whenever a power outage occurs, cancelling all inpatient care and requiring the immediate transport of vaccines to alternate sites with cooling & freezing capabilities. The emergency generators project ensures that Lakelands Family Health Team will be able to remain open for delivery of care during power outages. From Lakelands Family Health Team, our current patients, future patients, other tenants in the build-

ings and on behalf of our community, Lakelands Family Health Team thanks everyone who has played a role in delivering this project!" Dennis Mills, President of the CFLA, said this project is an important one for the foundation so support. “A foundation, in every sense, is a firm and sustainable base upon which we build for the present and the future. The Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington and the Mazinaw Community Fund are thrilled to be providing $60,000 to this much needed project. It is the largest single grant made in our history. We gratefully appreciate the generous citizens of Lennox and Addington County who ensure essential capacity to make our community thrive.” “This particular donation is made possible through the Mazinaw Community Flow-Through Fund and the leadership and generosity of Margaret Axford and Ian Brumell.” The Mazinaw Community Fund has been providing grants to charitable projects throughout Addington Highlands since its establishment in 2006. Addington Highlands Reeve Henry Hogg said: “the Township is very grateful for the generous donation from the Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington to install standby generators at the Medical Building in Northbrook and the Addington Highlands Community Centre in Denbigh. It is vital to the internal operations of the LFHT and to the people it serves in our community and the surrounding areas, that they can continue to operate during normal hours during power outages. And, it is also vital to have a secure continuous power supply during off hours to protect refrigerated vaccines and medicines within these facilities. There are other tenants in these buildings including a Pharmacy, Public Library, Community Food Bank, and Community meeting and recreational areas that also significantly benefit with continuous power.” The opening celebration will take place on Monday, October 18 at 11:45 am at the Northbrook Medical Centre, 12357 Hwy. 41 Northbrook. ■

Lion's Fence Project Heads Into Year 2 In Northbrook A

t the beginning of November last year, members of the Land O'Lakes Lions Club were looking for a way to mark Remembrance Day when the traditional ceremonies were being severely curtailed due to COVID. They were also hoping to find a way to allow the local community to come together when social gatherings were not happening. Decorating the fence along the perimeter of the Northbrook Lions Hall, for Remembrance Day, seemed like it would be a good way to do something very public, and it was a project that members could work on together, with their families. The first project went over well, and it has continued. Next, the Lions put together a holiday theme display for the Christmas season. The next couple of fence themes involved

the community. For Valentine's Day, several children and parents, during a stay at home order and virtual learning, opened up their craft time to the Lions, and made beautiful hearts that hung on the fence, for everyone to enjoy. On St. Patrick's Day, Pine Meadow Nursing Home’s leprechaun helpers decorated our fence all festive and green to celebrate. In the spring, the Lions Club had an Easter display that also stayed up during the summer, as the club came alive each week, as the first summer of the Lions Farmers Market became a focal point each Saturday. Last week, the final touches were added to the autumn fence display. Many helping hands at North Addington Education Centre crafted thankful messages on leaves that were a perfect addition to this season's fence. ■

Horse & Wagon Rides for Pine Meadow Residents

Prince Charles Cross Country Race The 1st School Wide Event In 2 Years

Pine Meadow resident Hollie Kennedy pets the horses from High View Farms

Prince Charles PS students Allie and Jon run the cross country course.

Submitted by Sarah Thompson (Recreation Program Manager) ine Meadow Nursing Home welcomed back High View Farms on September 29th! Horse & Wagon rides with a beautiful team of horses from High View has been an Annual Fall Tradition for the home for many years now. Unfortunately, the pandemic made this impossible in 2020, marking this day yet

another milestone on our way back to “normal”. Trips around the block displayed some beautiful fall colours, and triggered lots of fond memories and stories of years gone by. Families and staff joined in the fun and for some, this was a first experience, one never to be forgotten. A big Thank you to High View Farms, we look forward to your return! ■

In preparation for the return of cross country meets at Fort Henry in Kingston, members of the Prince Charles Public School (Verona) running club competed in age-appropriate races on Friday, October 8. The races turned into a school wide event when the whole school (physically distanced by cohort) came out to cheer the runners on.

The PCPS Panther mascot was on hand for the event, and a video recording was made of the final lap of each race that parents will be able to access and watch from home. “It was really awesome to get everyone outside in one school community” said run organiser Lee Casement, a teacher at the school. ■
