Covid Cases Spike In South Frontenac

By Jeff Green

he regional COVID uptick is continuing to have an impact in South Frontenac. Perth Road Public School has been hit with an outbreak that has now resulted in 8 cases. On November 1, a staff member tested positive, and this was followed by positive tests for three students on November 2, and one additional student case on November, a further case on November 4, and two new cases on November 6. Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health (KFLAPH) has dismissed a total of 7 school cohorts and one bus cohort, but the school has remained open as of the morning of November 9. Visitors to the school are restricted. Concern at Muddy Waters. A customer who had brunch at Muddy Waters Restaurant in Verona on Sunday, October 31, subsequently tested positive for COVID. Patrons who were at the restaurant between 10am and noon on Sunday, October 31st were asked to self monitor for symptoms for 10. Days. KFLAPH also recommended that individuals affected by this exposure get tested on or after November 7, seven days from the exposure date. Muddy Waters owner Denise Redmond said that KFLAPH contacted them on Wednesday (November 4) with the news. The two servers who were working that morning were asked to take a COVID test this week, and again early next week, as a precautionary measure. The restaurant remains open. “We are following the advice from KFLAPH. The just told us about it yesterday. Since we can’t tell who served the customer who tested positive, both are

getting tested. All of our sit-in customers need to have proof they are double-vaxed, but take-out customers don’t have to. “We hope the customer is ok, and the important thing is for everyone to stay safe,” she said. Between November 1 and November 8, a total of 12 cases were reported in South Frontenac, the majority of which stemmed from the Perth Road School outbreak. The case rate in South Frontenac has now hit 66 per 100,000, the highest in the region save for the City of Kingston. Of the 121 active cases in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, 2 patients are now hospital, and one is in intensive care. The demographics of the cases that were confirmed since November 1st show a high number (19) are 9 and under, but the older cohorts are seeing a larger spike. 30 in the 18-29 age range have tested positive, there are 24 cases among 30-39 year olds, and 15 in the 40-49 year old cohort. Under the old colour coded system, KFL&A would now be in the orange range. During a media call last week, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Piotr Oglaza said that the rate of infection among those who are un-vaccinated in the region is four times higher than the rate for those who are vaccinated. According to KFL&A figures, the lowest rate of vaccination of the eligible population (12 and over) is among the 30-34 year old population (70% fully vaccinated – 74% one dose) followed closely by those who are 20-29 (71% fully vaccinated - 75.6% on dose)

Lest we forget: Andy Anderson salutes after placing a wreath in honour of Capt. Tim Trickey at the Flinton Remembrance Day Ceremony last Sunday. About 50 people attended on a beautiful fall day. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 334 officiated. Photo/Craig Bakay.

The overall vaccination rate in KFL&A is up to 86.3% of eligible residents fully vaccinated, and 89.7% with a first dose. At the current pace, the first dose rate should hit the provincial target of 90% by November 25, but it will likely be at the end of 2021 or

early in 2022 before 90% of KFL&A residents are fully vaccinated. In fact, over the last two weeks, third dose vaccinations are becoming more prevalent in the region than either first or second doses. ■

South Frontenac Council Mulls Over A Short Term Rental Bylaw by Wilma Kenny

Barred Owl, photo taken by naturalist Bill Kendall of Verona.

ouncillor Revill, Bedford’s current Council representative, was sworn in as Deputy Mayor for the term ending May 32/22, replacing the late Deputy Mayor Pat Barr. Delegation concerning Short-Term Rentals (STRs) Rick Ottenhof and Gabor Solymar came as a delegation “We are here to request a system of licensing and bylaws that will accommodate, but also regulate and control, the growing Short Term Rental business in order to protect our lakes and environment as well as the rights of residents to enjoy their properties,” said Rick Ottenhof. Currently one company, Air Bnb, lists 240 properties in South Frontenac. There are several other similar rental companies, as well. The delegates’ concern focused on owner-absent rental properties where there is a constant turn-over of unregulated guests, frequently resulting in overcrowding, heavy drinking, fire-setting, littering, dangerous boating behaviour, trespassing and threats and rudeness to local residents.

“The effect on SF residents can be drastic. Some are considering moving/have abandoned plans to move to cottage permanently on retirement/don’t visit their cottage on weekends/ are in constant fear of events such as fires that would trap their families /fear intoxicated strangers while on their own properties and are afraid to leave their homes unattended.” They asked for stronger enforcement of existing bylaws (re noise, fires, fireworks, etc), offering to work with the Township to find out how other regions of the province have dealt with similar difficulties. There was agreement from Council that this issue was a problem. Councillor Ruttan, who himself rents vacation cottages, said he knew of a lakeside resident who rented a neighbouring cottage, keeping it empty just to ensure one quiet week for himself. Mayor Vandewal said that although he does agree there is a problem, the Township does not have the staff resources to be able to have changes in place by next summer. “Enforcement will be a problem…we don’t have the staff resources to control this: without enforcement,

Randy Hillier revealed his true colours a long time ago

Editorial by Jeff Green n Saturday Randy Hillier put up an apology on his Twitter account. He acknowledge that he should not have tweeted pictures of people who had died, against their families witshes, and made unsubstaintated claims abou their cause of death, all to to support his unsubstantiated claims about how dangerous the COVID-19 vaccination is. He certainly owed those families an apology, but he had never apologised to anyone before, so it seemd odd. At a rally in front in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on Sunday (November 7) Hillier announced that the Peoples Party of Canada (Maxime Bernier's party) has formed a provincial wing which will contest the Ontario election, and that the leader of the PPC-Ontario party was none other than himself, making him a candidate for Premier. He has not yet shared what the process was whereby he was chosen as leader by a party that did not exist until last week, but that is a detail. We now know why Hillier apologised for his tweet. It

the laws are useless.” CAO Carbone, who was the lead on developing a STR bylaw for Prince Edward County agreed. He spoke of the many interested parties requiring a voice in the process, and the need for various outside consultants. “This was a two-year process for Prince Edward: our issues are not all the same, but we will need more staff resources to fully develop and appropriately enforce a township-wide STR program.” Council agreed there is a problem which needs to be addressed, and several suggested possible first steps. Councillor Sutherland made a notice of motion to request a staff report with recommendations. New OPP Staff Sergeant Councillor Sleeth introduced Marty McConnell, the new OPP Frontenac Detachment Staff Sergeant, who has 21 years of policing experience, the last five years in Lanark. McConnell spoke of his interest in community involvement, and noted that he has connections with Sydenham through his wife, who is a Dahm, and granddaughter of George Walker. “I can give you a lot of history on the Dahms, if you need it,” joked Mayor Vandewal.

tion about trail use and concerns, (and might be of particular interest to some of those who have been expressing indignation on public media about bicyclists on the trail not warning pedestrians of their approach.) Commemoration of Pat Barr’s Service Council unanimously agreed to have a bench installed at Glendower Hall, in acknowledgement of Pat Barr’s long involvement in and support of community events, especially in the Bedford area. Restoration and Preservation of the Bellrock Mill In May of this year, Council approved the purchase of the historic Bellrock Mill. At that time the South Frontenac Museum Society obtained a cost estimate for engineering services to preserve and restore the Mill. They also applied, unsuccessfully, for several grants to cover a portion of those costs. In the absence of other funding, a Public Services report recommends to Council that they fund the engineering study directly in order to prepare for shoring up the property to prevent further degradation. Deputy Mayor Revill said “We all recognized there would be some expense involved: the roof is a safety issue: it needs work immediately.” Leonard agreed: “if we don’t take immediate steps, we will lose a lot more: the snow is coming soon.” Mayor Vandewal cautioned: “We need to look at preserving something realistic…” CAO Carbone added, “(An engineering study) is the first step: we can’t even shore the building up without an examination of the issues.” Council approved a motion by Councillors Leonard and Morey to approve $20,000 from the Working Fund reserve to complete an initial engineering review on the feasibility of preserving and restoring the historic Bellrock Mill. Hinchinbrook Road Mayor Vandewal reported on his recent “grand tour of Hinchinbrook Road”, by saying it looks safe for winter travel, and congratulating staff on their work.

On Sat I was at the school to get a flu shot, when I noticed a Canadian flag which was modified to have the gay pride flag attached to it. This is totally disrespectful to our nation. There is a gay pride flag which can be shown on its own. To deface the nation symbol of Canada is an insult to those who have served this country. I do not care what reason the school has for doing this, but they are wrong. It is time Canadians stand up to the people who have no idea what the flag means. Also if you think this is right then you are on the wrong side of history. - David Whalen

Youth Programming in Frontenac

In the November 4th Frontenac News it was published in the notes from Central Frontenac Council that Rural Frontenac Community Services Youth Program was making a request to Council for use of community halls for programming. The article reported that Rural Frontenac Community Services Youth Program services “10-17 youth in Mountain Grove and Sharbot Lake.” We would like to note that this information does not accurately reflect the program area nor the number of youth we serve.

The Improve Your Strength & Balance

Taking a tumble can cause serious injury that affects your everyday life and independence. One of the best ways you can reduce your risk of slipping, tripping and falling is to improve your strength and balance. Almost any kind of physical activity is helpful – but some activities deliver greater benefits than others. Strengthening your leg muscles can reduce the chance of falling if you do lose your balance. Strong legs will stabilize you and can make the difference between staying on your feet and hitting the ground. While any activity that uses your legs is good, it’s important to find something you enjoy. Walking requires no special equipment other than a pair of supportive shoes. Make an after-dinner walk part of your routine or leave the car in the driveway and take a walk to pick up light groceries. There are many simple ways to get moving more often. Strength training exercises that target specific leg muscles can be easily done at home – there’s no need to join an expensive gym. If you enjoy being with a group, community centres often have exercise programs for different age groups. Here’s a simple strengthening exercise to try: Leg extensions: This exercise can be done while watching TV or sitting at the kitchen table. While seated, straighten-out one leg and gently lift it off the ground to a height that’s comfortable for you. Hold for 10 seconds if you can. Put that leg down. Extend and lift the other leg. As your strength grows, add ankle weights to give your legs even more of a workout. Your sense of balance is what keeps you on your feet – without it you would not be able to stand upright. Poor eyesight, some medications and some health conditions can cause dizziness or other balance problems.

years has been impressive. These determined volunteers were often forced to overcome many challenges to serve in uniform, from learning a new language, to having to travel great distances from their remote communities just to enlist. More than 4,000 Indigenous people served in uniform during World War I. Indigenous recruits joined up for a variety of reasons, from seeking employment or adventure to wanting to uphold a tradition that had seen their ancestors fight alongside the British in earlier military efforts like the War of 1812. Indigenous men brought valuable skills with them when they joined the military. Patience, stealth and marksmanship were well-honed traits for those who had come from communities where hunting was a cornerstone of daily life. One unique example was being a "code talker." Men translated sensitive radio messages into Cree so they could not be understood by the enemy. Another Cree-speaking "code talker" would then translate the received messages back into English so they could be understood by the intended recipients. Indigenous service members would receive numerous decorations for bravery during the war. Indigenous people also contributed to the war effort on the home front. They donated large amounts of money, clothing and food to worthy causes and also granted the use of portions of their reserve lands to allow for the construction of new airports, rifle ranges and defence installations. The special efforts of First Nations communities were recognized with the British Empire Medal to acknowledge their great contributions.

It is nice to get out for a drive again. I visited with Chuck and Penny on Friday. It is so great to be out and about again. Thanks a million to Bob and Elaine for taking my car in and bringing it home to me. Just hoping the snow stays away so I can drive a little longer. • Olive Allen spent the weekend in Sharbot Lake with her daughter, Barb.

They had a wonderful busy season and want to thank all the people for coming out and making it another successful season and hope to see you all again next spring. • I didn’t see any people outside drinking coffee at the Community Centre on Friday. I guess outside coffee is all over for the season. Maybe we will be able to have our coffee in the hall soon. The bathroom renovations seem to be moving along. • Remember the war vets on November 11th and buy a poppy. These wonderful people lost their lives for our freedom and attend a service if you can.

Interval House Kingston

hen the COVID-19 lockdown hit, a lot of people faced new levels of stress, but for Kingston Interval House and the clients that the agency works with, it brought unprecedented challenges. “There were so many moving parts when COVID first hit,” said Theresa Metcalfe, Community Services Manager at Kingston Interval House. Kingston Interval House has been working with women and children and youth who have been impacted by gender-based violence for over 45 years, since 1975. It operates an emergency shelter with a capacity of 25, Robin's Hope, a second stage housing location with 18 apartments that is available for up to one year, a multifaceted outreach program, and a 24 hour crisis line. When COVID hit, women has less freedom to move around than normal, many people were working at home and families were together 24 hours a day. Women also stayed with their abusers longer than they normally would have. “They felt very torn. They thought, 'how could they go to a shelter and risk exposure to COVID, but how can we stay in the situation we are in'” said Metcalfe. It was also much more difficult to access outreach counselling because of a lack of privacy in the home. And instead of in-person counselling, Interval House Counsellors had to resort to the phone and Zoom. “Our counsellors were also working at home, so it was difficult for them not having support from their colleagues,” she said. The Interval House emergency shelter has a lot of communal areas, and that became a problem during COVID because families had to remain in their own bubble. The capacity of the shelter was more limited to allow families have space of their own. “There have been a lot of ebbs and flows over the last year and half. At first we had to deal with a lot of outreach during the lock down, then when things opened up and people started moving around our shelter became busier.” When the shelter is full, as it often is, Interval House staff call around to other shelters to find beds or to find transitional housing for women and children. Families who have been living at Robin's Hope have faced another difficulty, as affordable housing has become harder and harder to find over the last 18 months. “This is a developing problem that women are having to deal with,” she said, “and Robin's Hope is always full. There is a need for more transitional housing.” But in spite of all of the difficulties that COVID brought to women and children in abusive situations and those who work with them, she said “we always remain optimistic and

we have learned about other ways we can provide outreach through the pandemic. Phone calls, and zoom calls can be effective in many cases, and can help people who have transportation issues to deal with, especially in rural areas.” Our Child Witness counsellor who works with children of various ages facilitates groups on a regular basis. “We thought 4 and 5 year olds would not be able to concentrate on crafts and other activities over Zoom, but it works pretty well. We are certainly going to integrate some of what we have learned into our work in the future.” As to rural services, the outreach service to Frontenac County has not been operating but they hope to start travelling again. Sometimes there is funding to provide transportation to services in Kingston, but much of the service is being offered through electronic means at this point. “I think if there was one message, it is not to hesitate to call us if our services are something that can benefit you. We are available 24 hours. Women can call just for information, for counselling. The first step let us know if you need us and we’ll go from there,” she said. Sometimes women hesitate to call because they feel that their situation is not that extreme, not that difficult, and they don't want to use limited resources that should be reserve for women in crisis situations. “We don't look at it like that,” said Theresa Metcalfe, “everyone is different, every situation is different. We are not necessarily saying to everyone that they need a safety plan, they might need someone to talk to.” For information about Interval House Kingston and the services they offer, go to Kingstonintervalhouse.com.

to celebrate Halloween. Firefighters were on hand to shell-out candy to the trick-or-treaters who stopped by. The firefighters greeted 16 very creative and amazing costumes. One trick-or-treater (who might be a future recruit) was dressed in a Sparky costume. Many thanks to all who participated - it was a fun night for all. • I was talking with a friend in late September and she said, "The fall is such a busy time." And so it is. What with work in the woods, garden harvest and clean up, medical appointments, winter tires on the car... And so it continues. • Downtown Ompah has been busy the last while. First Aid training for the fire fighters was held for two weekends at the Community Centre. And the same two weekends, 9 OPP cruisers were parked at the Rest Stop as the police officers were doing ATV trail training. And now it is hunting season. Hope everyone stays safe and has good luck. • We just got news that the Community Centre is opening up. Proof of vaccination and masking will still be required but we can return to pre-Covid numbers in the hall. The Hall Executive is meeting this week to make decisions on future activities. Stay tuned. Marilyn Dunham, long-time hall caretaker, has retired. She was involved over the years in not only cleaning but in booking, planning, and helping out at events both in the hall and in the community. Marilyn was a true Care-Taker. She is already missed. Welcome to Taylor who takes over from her grandmother! • On Monday, November 15, the Sharbot Lake Health Team and Rural Frontenac Community Services will hold a workshop on 'Shopping for Healthy Eating' presented

Kingston Community Foundation Grants $50,000 to Rural Programs

nstead of holding an in-person launch gala as they in the almost forgotten pre-COVID times, The Community Foundation for Kingston and Area (CFKA) announced their 2021 fall grant recipients on November 4 via a media release. The recipients of the grants, which are supporting a total of 23 projects in Kingston and the surrounding region, are smiling in the own offices instead of for the cameras this year, but t “Charities within Kingston and area continue to feel the effects of the pandemic, seeing increased needs and costs at a time when many have experienced a decline in funding, particularly those that rely on inperson fundraising events and ticket sales,” said Tina Bailey, Executive Director. “This makes the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area’s latest grants of $256,703 in new funding to be released immediately particularly needed and timely.” Grants awarded range from $1,000 to $25,000: all

responding to the current needs and realities of charities and selected to significantly contribute to the resiliency and vibrancy of our local community. “I am particularly happy to see that many of the projects will provide support for those in our community who experience barriers that have been amplified by the pandemic,” says Willa Henry, Grants Committee Chair for the Community Foundation. The Foundation’s granting is unique in that it funds projects in all areas of community need. Once again in this granting round, they offered ‘emergency operational grants’ to charities whose programs have been greatly impacted by the pandemic. The smallest grant - $1,000 to the Kingston Canadian Film Festival - will bring an exhibition of the work of Alanis Obomsawin, one of the most acclaimed Indigenous filmmakers in the world. Funding for the projects comes from income on the Foundation’s endowment funds – funds established and grown by local residents wanting to make the community a better place for all. The Community Foundation invites all local charities to apply to its competitive grants program twice a year. The next application deadline is February 15, 2022. 4 of the 22 grants went to organisations based in Frontenac County, totalling almost 20% of the total allocation. Grants went to Wintergreen Studios ($3396), the Elbow Lake Resource Centre and the Queen’s

University Biology Station ($16,650), New Leaf Link ($15,000) and Rural Frontenac Community Services ($14,456) Community Development Wintergreen Studios - Outdoor Classrooms, $3,396 Wintergreen Studios plans to reimagine their outdoor spaces for the long-term, to meet the changing needs of the organization and the communities to which they serve, in part by building two 10’ x 10’ roofed gazebos.

Addington Highlands Adopts Staff Vaccination Policy By Craig Bakay fter a couple of minor amendments to what was presented at its previous meeting, Addington Highlands Council approved a covid-19 vaccination policy at its regular (online) meeting Nov. 2. Coun. David Miles abstained from the vote, recording the lone “no.” CAO/Clerk Christine Reed told Council the policy had been circulated to staff for comments and there were concerns as to what constitutes being “fully vaccinated.” “I don’t know if the Township is the best authority to determine who is fully vaccinated, so we deferred to the Province,” Reed said. In Ontario, an individual is considered fully vaccinated if they have received: • the full series of a covid-19 vaccine

authorized by Health Canada, or any combination of such vaccines, • one or two doses of a covid-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada, followed by one dose of a covid-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or • three doses of a covid-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada and they received their final dose of the covid19 vaccine at least 14 days ago. The second concern was over the use of the word “outbreak” so the sentence was amended to clarify that it refers to a “declared workplace outbreak” as opposed to a regional outbreak. Community Control Group Reeve Henry Hogg noted during his report on the 52nd meeting of the Community Control Group that “there are no requirements in legislation requiring mu-

nicipalities or fire departments to have a mandatory vaccine policy.” He said the group decided to lift indoor capacity limits but proof of vaccination will still be required. Quinte Conservation Budget Council decided to ask the Quinte Conservation Authority for some clarifications before responding to the authority’s 2022 budget. “The 2022 proposed budget has an increase to the municipal levy of $69,461.37 and an option for a $25,000 reserve build,” the QCA said in a letter to the Township. Provincial Grant Upon hearing that the Province will be providing Addington Highlands with $2,053,400 ($774 per household) under the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund for 2022, Reeve Henry Hogg had this to

say: “I guess the good news is that the OMPF grant is going to continue.” Road Report Brett Reavie, Manager of Roads and Waste reported that there has been some flooding in the Township because of “high rainfall amounts and beavers preparing for winter.” Lennox & Addington Business Awards Dep. Reeve Tony Fritsch reported that 41 Cannabis Company has received the “best new business” award from the Lennox & Addington Business Awards. Although the Addington Highlands team generally moves its meetings along at a brisk pace, Tuesday’s meeting was one of the shortest on record, clocking in at 29 minutes. ■
