Ontario Highlands Métis Council

By Jeff Green or the first time, Louis Riel has been formally acknowledged in Frontenac County. On Louis Riel Day, November 16. In 5 locations throughout the territory of Highlands Waters Métis Council, which is much of Southeastern Ontario, flag raising ceremonies took place, and the Louis Riel flag flew over municipal buildings. Those locations include: Belleville, Quinte West (Trenton) Smiths Falls, Napanee, and Sharbot Lake. In Sharbot Lake, Highlands Waters Board Chair Carol Young, joined Central Frontenac Mayor Frances Smith at a flag raising ceremony at the township office in Sharbot Lake. “Louis Riel day is a chance to reflect on where we are, where we are going, challenges we have faced and the challenges we continue to face,” said Jonnathan Marconi, the President of the Highland Waters Métis Council. “I am happy to be able to bring this ceremony to Sharbot Lake,“ said Carol Young, who was a board member in the Thames Blue Water Métis Council before moving to the Arden area from London, Ontario. November 16 marks the day, in 1885, when Louis Riel was hanged. The events that precipitated that day are described in a brief history on the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) website. Here is an excerpt, including a description of the meaning of the day, to Métis people, from the MNO website. “During that year, Riel led Métis people in the Northwest Resistance, which was a stand against the Government of Canada because it was encroaching on Metis rights, and our way-of-life. The Métis were defeated at the siege of Batoche and the Canadian government captured Riel. He was eventually put on trial where he was convicted of treason and executed. As a result, Métis people across Canada were labeled as traitors and for generations many felt the need to hide their Métis culture and heritage. Despite this oppression, many Métis people found a way to preserve their way-of-life and passed it on to current generations. Today, the strength of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is a testament to the courage of our ancestors.” Fifteen years before he was executed, Riel successful-

ly negotiated the Manitoba Act, which brought Manitoba into confederation in 1870. But at that time, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald already had plans to supplant the Métis from their lands. The MNO site recalls a quote from Macdonald, from February 23, 1870: “These impulsive half-breeds have got spoiled by this emeute (uprising) and must be kept down by a strong hand until they are swamped by the influx of settlers.” Riel was elected to Parliament three times between 1870 and 1885 but could not take his seat because the Government of Ontario, in whose territory the federal parliament was located, laid charges on him and set out bounty for his capture even though they did not have jurisdiction in Manitoba. Riel went into exile in the United States but returned to Saskatchewan in 1884, and ended up leading the Northwest resistance. He surrendered on May 15, 1885. According to the MNO site, he was hoping his trial would provide an opportunity to tell the true story of the Métis struggles, in the face of misrepresentation in the Ontario newspapers.

A jury, made up of English settlers, convicted him of treason, but recommended mercy, but the judge, Hugh Richardson, ordered his execution, which took place in Regina on November 16. It took 107 years, long after Canadian settlement had overtaken the West, for the Government of Canada to begin to change the way the country remembers Louis Riel. In 1992 he was formally given status as a “founding father” of Manitoba, and in 1998 the Government issued a “statement of reconciliation” and acknowledged the “sad events culminating in the death of the Métis leader, Louis Riel”. In 2004, then Prime Minister Paul Martin acknowledged Riel's contribution, “not only to the Métis Nation, but to Canada as a whole.” Louis Riel Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February in Manitoba, the same day as Family Day in Ontario, but the Métis Nation marks the day of his death

COVID Spike Continues In KFL&A, With Kingston Driving The Surge By Jeff Green r. Piotr Oglaza, medical officer of health with Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health, is not contemplating bringing any new restrictions at this time in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases in the region. He said that, in comparison to the Sudbury region, where new restrictions have been implemented, there is no “pattern of general spread” in KFL&A. “We are seeing are seeing patterns of cases in clusters, interventions such as the ones being implemented in Sudbury are designed to address a general spread. Our current spread is conducive to targeted interventions.” Dr. Oglaza made his comments at a media briefing last week, when active cases in the KFLAPH region were in the

120 case range. The case load has increased substantially since then, and between Friday (November 12) and Monday (November 15) a further 69 cases have been confirmed. As of November 15, there were 169 active cases in the KFL&A region, 10 requiring hospitalization, of which 5 were in the Intensive Care Unit, 2 of them requiring ventilation. There have been no deaths from COVID in the KFL&A region since July, and only 6 since the onset of the pandemic in March of 2020. The largest outbreak at this time is centred around the Integrated Care Hub (ICH) in Kingston. The ICH is operated by the City of Kingston as a 24-hour, wraparound service for a vulnerable population with immediate needs such as food and

shelter, and longer term needs such as addictions and mental health. in the City of Kingston. Doctor Oglaza indicated that the staff and clients at the ICH are a focus of targeted efforts by KFLAPH “We are addressing barriers to care that some face. One is to offer testing and vaccination to people who do not have health cards. If we do testing, we may see more cases, which we can track and that allows to do something to slow the spread,” he said. The Integrated Care Hub outbreak is responsible for 33 recent cars, 19 of which are still active. It is noe the making it the second largest outbreak of the entire pandemic in the region. There were also 4 new cases over the weekend in South Frontenac, bringing the total since the beginning of the month to

21. Most of the South Frontenac cases, at least earlier in November, were attributed to an outbreak at Perth Road Public School. There are 7 cases associated with that outbreak on the KFL&A dashboard, but only 1 of those cases is still listed as an active case, and the school is gradually returning to the COVID normal. There have been 21 cases in South Frontenac this month, among a population of 18,500 people, making it the jurisdiction in KFL&A with the second highest per capita case rate, still well behind the City of Kingston, with 210 cases among about 120,000 people. There have been no cases in Central and North Frontenac in November, nor have there been any in Addington Highlands or Frontenac Islands. This makes this 4th wave spike dif-

Re: Respect the Flag

This letter (Respect The Flag, Nov, 11) was brought to my attention by a friend who is in the delivery zone for the Frontenac news. I live in Kingston. I am appalled that you published this letter. I support free speech, but not hate, and this is much more about hate than anything else. - Michelle Gibson

Re: Respect the Flag

As a retired military person. I find it sick for someone to use the service of people in the military to support their deep-rooted homophobia/transphobia or dislike for something they do not understand. It is one thing to point something that they dislike but it is another thing to call it an insult, when they do not know why the items is there in the first place, or how the flag come to be that way. To call for Canadians to stand up for something like this, calls into question how supportive this person really is and how this person looks at things that are not within their perceived norms. As a retired member of the military, I came across a lot of instances where people put me down or called for action against me as a transwoman. Not one of those calls where supportive or useful in the person understand or letting me live my life without interference. In most cases those people’s call to stand up where harmful, and caused fear. I feel that this person should have maybe looked into why the flag was this way before making a call to action. It is my understanding that a person in a newspaper should have maybe done some research into the topic before they put an opinion on something out there. And making a statement like “insult to those who have served this country.” How does he know why people serve our country? The reason I had may not have been the reason someone else have. It is clear that this author needs to have some type of training. And maybe needs to have

their articles reviewed before they are put out in the public. He and the newspaper should be made to educate themselves and put at public apology for publishing this as I find it speaks about 2 things in one simple article the military and the LGBTQ2 community. Both are outside of the persons understanding or knowledge to speak about . - Ret’d Cpl Abby Dunford

Media outlets should be held accountable

I am writing in response to the letter that was published last week, denouncing a rainbow Canadian flag being flown at a nearby school. I am one of many LGBTQ+ folks who are proud to call Frontenac County home. The local LGBTQ+ folks I know work in retail, education, healthcare, corrections,

as well as the skilled trades. We are nurses, artists, physicians, janitors, lawyers, stay-at-home parents, carpenters, academics, farmers, and small business owners. Of importance to the op-ed author - we also serve within military and law enforcement. More importantly - we are children and youth in elementary and secondary schools. I was born and raised here, and understand the uniquely confusing and potentially unsettling experience of coming out in rural spaces. Maybe the author is not familiar with the landmark Matthew Shepard case, or the disproportionate rates of suicides in LGBTQ+ adolescents. Simply put - rainbow flags promote acceptance, inclusion, and safety. Our educational system and the professionals working within it have incredible influence with regards to our children’s mental health. The simple act of raising the rainbow flag could have profound, life-saving implications for students of that school. Media outlets are responsible, and should be held accountable for the information they choose to share and disseminate. I believe Frontenac News owes its LGBTQ+ community members an apology for amplifying hate speech, rather than celebrating the gifts that diversity bring to our amazing community. Thank you for your time. - Emily McDonald

national identity. In the words of Prime Minister Pearson who oversaw the flag's design, it represents those "who remain united in freedom and justice … sensitive, tolerant and compassionate towards all.” During the inception of our current flag in the 1960s, people in the LGBTQ+ community were vilified and considered abominations by those in power. Times have changed. We live in a country working to embrace and protect all people. We are leaders internationally in promoting diversity and the protection of human rights. This is what the maple leaf was chosen to represent. Flying a rainbow maple leaf is not meant to disrespect or replace our red and white flag. It's a celebration, a recognition and reminder to students, residents and passers-by that we live in a nation that is working to move forward together. That, in my opinion, is the right side of history. - Julia Schall

In his report, Manager of Development Services/CBO Andy Dillon said that the program ran for one year before the covid19 pandemic hit and “significant procedural issues were encountered the first year of the program which have not yet been resolved.” Dillon’s report said that in 2019, a list of 300 properties to be inspected was generated but only 185 were inspected. “Some properties were found to be vacant, not waterfront, could not be located, or their septic was less than 10 years old,” the report said. There was also a communications issue. The Township contracted the Mississippi Rideau Septic System Office to conduct the inspections. “MRSSO mailed out an information package that stated the re-inspection

Dillon told Council the communication issue was dealt with but described the records as a mountain of information. “It was kind of rushed when I first came in,” he said. “I wasn’t very happy with how it was rolled out.” However, Coun. Tom Dewey wanted the program to push forward in 2022 nonetheless. “I know we’ve had our issues but I’m a little disappointed we haven’t done some of the back-office work so we can go ahead when the time comes,” he said. “I’m not happy the report wasn’t more proactive. “I can’t support putting the program away for 2022.” “I’ve heard from two lake associations who don’t want it put on the back burner for 2022,” said Mayor Frances Smith. “It appears the lack of paperwork is the biggest obstacle,” said Coun. Bill MacDonald. “Maybe we should look for a grant to help us.” “The estimated cost for the work is $1,000 per week for 35 weeks,” said Dillon. “At this point we don’t even know how many systems we need to inspect with bunkies, trailers on lots and commercial properties.” No festival of Trees this year In her Mayor’s Remarks section, Mayor Frances Smith announced that only the

Letters Continued from p2 Re: Wrong Side Of History

I believe this letter was published in violation of your editorial criteria #4, re: polarizing the community. - Susanne Varrette

I'm concerned that a homophobic letter to the editor would be considered for publishing. I am aware that opinions expressed by readers don't reflect the opinions of the publication, but the letter you published by a David Whalen is clearly hurtful to a portion of the community, and was published in bad taste, in my opinion. This person is clearly "straight", concerned about a flag with gay connotation being flown at the school. I am straight as well, but where he and I differ is in the area of respect for others. His final sentence speaks volumes: "Also if you think this is right then you are on the wrong side of history."

• I had no news last week to go into the Frontenac News. Somehow some idiot wrote under my name a smart remark in the column. I sure was not impressed and hope readers understand that when someone passes on, my sympathies are genuine and sincere. • (Editors note – In last week’s paper, the first word from each paragraph from the previous week’s Harlowe column was included. It was a formatting error on our end. Our apologies to Marie and her loyal readers) • Lee-Anne White moved to St. Mary’s on the Lake on Thursday. Her son, Dan, was in to see her and said she really likes it. Staff has her up and walking a bit, getting her therapy. She is not so grumpy. • Ken Black has been having trouble with his legs for quite some time, and finding it hard to walk. I guess he needs a good old square dance to limber them up. Hope they start to improve quickly. It doesn’t look like any music for quite some time. The COVID still has its way of spreading. • Get well wishes are still travelling to Napanee hospital to Tom Neal, who is still ill. • Get well wishes are reaching out the miles to Jim Dix, who has been under the weather for a while.

Winter Footwear

When you think about proper footwear for winter, you probably think of good grip. While grip is essential, it is just one piece of the puzzle. First and foremost, you need to find a winter boot that is comfortable. You should be able to walk in the boots for long periods of time and not feel any points of rubbing or tightness against your feet. Pay close attention to the way your heels and toes feel—any points that feel like they are rubbing against the shoe can create problems down the line. The second thing to look for is a boot that is wider than your typical shoe. Because of the cold, you are likely going to be wearing thicker socks, so you need extra room for your foot to move around. Having a shoe that is too tight is going to create stiffness in your foot and can lead to various conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis and hip and back pain. Lastly, pay attention to how your foot feels in the boot when you walk. Your foot should feel supported and cushioned. Be sure to flip the boot over and check the tread—does it physically raise off the sole or is it flush? Raised tread is going to give you more grip and stability in the winter, minimizing the risk of slips or falls. Chiropractors are specially trained in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal-related conditions, which includes your feet. If you are experiencing pain when you walk, a chiropractor can assess the pain and recommend a treatment plan. This treatment plan may include a pair of custom-made orthotics which we will discuss in next weeks article.

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole

By Wilma Kenny Strategic Plan Update, Long Range Financial Plan and Organizational Development In preparation for planning the 2022 budget, most of this meeting was discussion and follow-up from an earlier day-long Staff/Council planning workshop at which the following themes had emerged: Core Services/Levels of Service; Seniors/Age-Friendly; Housing; By-law Enforcement; Customer Service/Satisfaction; Organizational Capacity; Facilities/Amenities/Programming; Defining Regional Leadership; Economic Development/Beautification. Underlying much of the discussion was the concept of “a changing Township in a changing world.” Of particular relevance is the current Township survey asking residents for their ideas and suggestions for next year’s budget. It’s available on the Township website, or in paper form at the Township Offices. Board/Committee Vacancies Council agreed that appointments to the various boards and committees which were previously held by former Deputy Mayor Pat Barr should be considered after her vacant Council seat has been filled so the newly appointed Council member can be be included in this process. Barr represented South Frontenac Council on the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the Heritage Committee and the Recreation & Leisure Facilities Committee. Parking on Sydenham Mill Street Kerry and Bill Arthur, owners of Sydenham Pet and Farm Supply, have written to Council suggesting that they consider making the parking spaces along Mill Street between Cross Street and Trousdale’s Store into limited duration during business hours. As well as the Arthurs’ store, the drug store and the post office all have frequent short-term customers. Both Sleeth and Sutherland supported the idea: it was referred to the Director of Technical Services, to look into the next steps: consultation with neighbours, signage, enforcement, etc, and report back. ■

Former Medical Officer of Health Seeks Green Party Nomination

By Jeff Green r. Marlene Spruyt and her husband Simon Packwood-Greaves retired to the Ardoch area a year ago, to a Pine Lake property that they purchased three years earlier. Her last year of work was a pretty stressful one, as she was the Medical Officer of Health in the sprawling Algoma District during the first 9 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. After spending her entire career working in rural healthcare, first as a family physician and later in Public Health, she said that she has been enjoying living in North Frontenac, hiking and paddling and biking, and spending time with family. “It is a beautiful place to live, and we also have family in the Sydenham area, so we wanted to live close to them,” she said. Her son and daughter in-law run Frontenac Outfitters, near Frontenac Park. With some time on her hands, and a lifetime thinking about the social determinants of health, she has been thinking about getting more involved in politics, as they relate to what she sees as the most pressing long term threat to our well-being as communities, climate change. For those reasons, and because she “felt a little restless”, she answered the call from the Lanark-FrontenacKingston riding association, of the Green Party of Ontario, for a candidate to contest the next Ontario provincial election, which will take place in early June of next year. With the call for candidates closing this week, Dr. Spruyt joins Carleton Place based Marlene Dever, who is described in a riding association release as an autism advocate, in seeking the nomination. Both of them have now been through the provincial vetting process and are cleared to seek the nomination. A meeting will be set up, likely in December, where members of the riding association will select a candidate. “Climate change is a threat to our families, communiThe students of North Addington Education Centre ties and our economy,” said Dr. Spruyt in a statement this suited up on October 31st in their Campbell’s Soup Cosweek. “We are beginning to see how extreme weather tumes, to collect items for the food bank. events destroy properties, damage communities and disSecondary students were spread out between Flinton rupt livelihoods.

battle against COVID, that she was integrally involved with last year, and continues to have a hand in through some of the consulting work that she continues to do. “COVID is a dress rehearsal for some of the things we are going to have to do for climate change,” she said. She also brings a perspective about some of the threats that come with climate change. “Not many people know that malaria was present in Ontario back when the Rideau Canal was being built, among the workers who were digging the mud to build it. We could see malaria and other diseases that are considered to be tropical diseases, in our communities, in a few years,” she said. Other issues that she sees as important in this riding are internet and cell access, and the necessity to “preserve recreational opportunities and tourism.” She also said that she understands that “small businesses, which is what our communities are built upon, are probably anxious about what a shift to a carbon neutral economy will mean to them. Helping them to make that shift is a priority for our party.” She is aware that the controversies surrounding the Federal Green Party could be a drag on the Green vote provincially, but pointed out that the provincial party is independent from the federal party. “Mike Sheiner, the leader of the Ontario Green Party, is well respected, in and outside of the party, and that will be important to Ontario voters, I think.” With the likelihood that the current MPP, Randy Hillier, will be running under the People’s Party banner in June, she said the local riding could be in for “an interesting” election. “When I was in Algoma, I had heard of Randy Hillier, but I did not know where he was from,” she said. “Now I do. ■

Dawson’s Latest Offering May Be His Best Effort To Date By Craig Bakay

larendon Station’s Dave Dawson is “coming up on 89” but although he may not be moving quite as fast as he once did, his artistic output hasn’t slowed down in the slightest. He’s completed 10 books (The Girls with the Raven Black Hair being the latest) with an 11th (A Cowboy’s Christmas Morning) well on the way. Six of his books are poetry, three are short stories and one is a novelette. He's recorded 10 CDs (118 songs) with Adieus to the Blues being the latest and again, there’s another on the way. “I do a lot of writing in the old schoolhouse in Clarendon,” he said. “It’s quiet there but the ATVs do roar by from time to time. “But I just get used to it.” He also paints and draws. And that pursuit has led to what might be his finest work yet — A Book of Wilderness Art. It’s essentially a compilation picture book of his paintings and drawings and at 509 pages, it will hold down any coffee table out there. The sheer volume of artworks presented in the book is impressive enough, but to see them all together gives the viewer an opportunity to access his visual vision as a body of work, rather than just seeing a few paintings here and there. By the way, he dedicated the book to his friends and colleagues in the Rideau Lakes Artists Association writing: “When I’m at my easel, I’m able to shut out the world and live in what is referred to as ‘The Great Eternal Now’.” An interesting turn of phrase, that, for the Great Eternal Now would seem to form a major aspect of Dawson’s visual work. Anyone who’s conversed with Dawson at any length knows his fondness for séance and his ‘conversations’ with Mackenzie King. However, if you only know Daw-

son’s paintings, you may think of him as yet another student of the Group of Seven, dutifully depicting the great Canadian landscape. However, as this book adeptly illustrates, there is a lot more to Dawson’s painting that meets the eye. Even the paintings that on the surface are strictly landscapes are done with a very atmospheric feel. Some might say there is almost always a coming storm just over the horizon. However, others might say the atmosphere is generated on another plane, another dimension, another world. Dreamcatchers form a recurring theme, and serve to reinforce a mystical element in the works. Flocks of birds, usually geese, show up quite often, but Author/artist/musician/curmudgeon Dave Dawson with his two latest books. Photo/Craig Bakay are they really birds. The book finishes up with a number of pen and ink drawWorks like Asteroid With Stump (page 65) and Single ings, serving as a grounding experience after Dawson’s Feather in Storm Cloud (page 125) hint at a narrative use of atmosphere and colour in the previous pages. not of this earth.

North Frontenac Little Theatre Fundraiser

he changes keep coming for North Frontenac Little Theatre, but the troop carries on. Even before being forced to put a stop to live theatre productions, in the spring of 2020 because of COVID restrictions, North Frontenac Little Theatre (NFLT) was in the midst of a major change. Due to changes in the fee structure for community use of Granite Ridge Education Centre, NFLT was working with Central Frontenac Township to make changes to the Oso Hall, in Sharbot Lake, so it could be used as a theatre space. Over the last 18 months the hall has undergone a facelift and the NFLT lighting system has been installed. Last Christmas, NFLT put on a Zoom production of A Christmas Carol, which is still available for viewing, but they have not attempted a live production in the new space, as of yet. That won't change this month, but a live theatrical fundraising event has been in the planning stages for months, and this week the NFLT executive was pleased to confirm that it is a go. On November 26, starting at 6:30pm, NFLT is presenting an evening of music and food and theatre, at the Oso Hall, which will remain at half capacity and will also conform to COVID protocols including masking and a double vaccination mandate for attendees. A very limited number of tickets are available for $20 each. They are available at Cardinal Cafe or by calling 613-808-4411. Among the entertainment, the Mike Erion's Jazz group will perform, as will Mark Giroux, and Adam Parker. There will also be skits, prize draws and a Christmas themed silent auction. “We have received a tremendous amount of support for our silent auction,” said long-time NFLT Executive member Brian Robertson, “that we decided to put off a lot of it until before our planned spring '22 pro-

duction, when we hope to be able to have more people attending, and we have decided to limit this auction to larger items and Christmas items.” It has been quite a process for the NFLT to be able to navigate COVID rules and their own concerns about public safety. “When we started planning this, we did not know what the situation would be in late November, and we have been working with the township, public health, and our own executive until the last minute,” said Robertson. Public Health hurdles were cleared earlier this month, but concerns about a COVID spike, in Kingston, have persisted. The executive met last Friday evening, and noting that the COVID spike has not hit Central Frontenac, and that the event will be a double-vaccinated-only event, the executive decided to go ahead, but only at half ca-

pacity, 60 people including performers and organisers. The fundraiser is important for NFLT for two reasons. First off, as theatre lovers, they are itching to get back in a social sphere, and they are short of cash. “Not only are our coffers next to empty, because of lack of performance revenue due to Covid 19, but due to ongoing expenses surrounding our transition to, and establishment in, the Oso Community Hall. Even though the Township of Central Frontenac has been overwhelmingly generous in its accommodation of us, and even though we received a sizable grant from the Kingston Community Foundation, for the installation of the theatre lights, other pressing issues have required additional spending,” said Brian Robertson.

with ceremonies. November 16 is also recognised as Louis Riel Day by the Government of Ontario. "Today we commemorate and reflect on Louis Riel's historical legacy and quest for justice. A hero to Métis people, Riel was executed 135 years ago after being found guilty of treason for leading the North-West Rebellion in defense of Métis rights, land and culture,” said Ontario Minister of Indigenous Affairs Greg Rickford in 2020. This year, the day began with a virtual pancake breakfast, followed by flag raisings at Toronto City Hall (10am) and the Ontario Legislature (12:15). And this year, communities throughout the Ontario Highlands Council territory joined in as well. The Ontario Highlands Métis Council has

THE FRONTENAC NEWS a new president, a new board chair, and a whole new council that took office earlier this year. The previous office in Northbrook has been vacated, and negotiations are underway for an office to be established in Napanee, sometime in 2022. “I can't speak to the old council,” said Jonnathan Marconi, the newly elected president of the 10 member Ontario Highlands Council (OHC) “my commitment to the council and the membership (there are currently about 400 registered Métis in the Ontario Highlands catchment area) is to be as ethical and as transparent as possible. When we sit together as council, we are all equals, and only once a decision is made do I, as president, represent our approach to the public,” he said. Jonnathan Marconi has been a volunteer with the MNO for six years. He works for the federal government and lives near Kingston,

and said that he sees the opportunity to take a leadership role with the Métis Nation as a “tremendous opportunity in a time when the Ontario government and the Métis Nation are beginning to work on what self government for Métis Peoples will look like.” One of the two major roles of the OHC is to provide services to its members, which includes direct services as well as access to scholarships for studies at post-secondary institutions. There are genealogical criteria for membership in the MNO, and Marconi said that the Ontario Highlands Council is happy to work with people in the territory to do the necessary research to become members. He can be reached at hlwmc. president@gmail.com The other role is to work towards further recognition in Ontario and self-government, and Marconi described the leader of the

MNO, Margaret Froh, as an inspirational leader in that effort. Louis Riel Day was established in Ontario in 2015, and is becoming a focal point for the Métis Nation, gaining more traction each year, across the province. “After the death of Louis Riel, Métis people were labeled as traitors and became a forgotten people. Today, we are forgotten no more. We assert our Métis rights, and by doing so, we take up that mantle of Louis Riel. It is for this very reason that Louis Riel day is a cause for celebration in our communities across Ontario and the homeland. It is a day to remember our past, to live our culture, and reaffirm our determination that future generations of Métis people will inherit the rights that Louis Riel fought so hard for,” said Margaret Froh about Louis Riel Day in 2020.

It was a very moving tribute which brought great memories of sadness and laughter. • If everything goes their way, there will be a craft sale at the Snow Road Snowmobile Club on December 11th from 10 until 2. Keep your fingers crossed. Anyone interested should call Ruth Wark at 613-2784077or Alice Gilchrist at 613-278-1020. All Covid protocols will be followed. Even better news, if all goes well and there are sufficient volunteers, the Snowmobile Club will open up for their breakfasts in January 2022. I will keep you posted about this. Sadly, the club has lost some volunteers during the pandemic and unfortunately the volunteers are all a little older. Plus, additional helpers will be needed to comply with Covid regulations. If you would like to volunteer, contact Ruth or Alice at the above numbers. • It was wonderful to hear Esther Tuckwell’s voice last week when she called. We miss you – it was lovely to hear from you and will you send me your phone number so I can call you sometime. • Congratulations to my neighbour, Marc, on his successful completion of the Firefighter Recruitment Training.

He gave a brief history on the Korean War which is also known as the forgotten war and paid a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to my husband, Kent Killingbeck, who was wounded in action on May 5th, 1953.

South Frontenac Honours Its Volunteers With Appreciation Event

By Craig Bakay outh Frontenac Township, like everybody else, has had to adapt because of covid-19. One such adaptation was evident last Saturday as a limited number of people assembled to recognize the contributions of the Township’s many volunteers. “There are no awards or anything, it’s just a general recognition of everybody,” said organizer Amanda Pantry. “Our motto says it all — Our Strength Is Our Community,” said Coun. Doug Morey. Since 1999, the Township has presented awards to individuals who have provided outstanding volunteer service in the Township. The recipients (up to four per year) were nominated by peers for their contribution to the community. In 2019, Council suggested a program refresh, as the number of nominations have been declining over the years. After hearing feedback from Council, the Recreation Committees, and other community members, a broader celebration recognizing the work of community volunteers has developed and a youth volunteer component has been established. The 2019 Volunteer Recognition program did not take place as usual during the spring but Council did receive

38 nominations for volunteer recognition. Each nominee received a mailed appreciation package and their names will be featured on Township social media and in the Frontenac News Dec. 3. But on this Saturday in November, no particular volunteers were centred out for special attention, rather the community as a whole. There was live music (provided by Chris Murphy), masks, vaccine conformation and fellowship. Perhaps the highlight of the event was seeing Council serving up a lunch (the pulled pork as well as the buttertarts were especially good). Of course, after serving as servers, the politicians each got up to say a few words. Mayor Ron Vandewal began, thanking all of the volunteers and calling them “the hundreds of people that are the backbone of our community. “Things have been different these past couple of years but people are still volunteering in the background.” Coun. Al Revill said he went to a small community to work shortly after school and was influenced greatly by the work of volunteer firefighters. He went on to note things like the Battersea Pumpkin Festival and events at Centennial Park have continued in limited capacities. “It’s the work that keeps the fabric of our community together,” Revill said. Coun. Norm Roberts said that he’s volunteered in Newfoundland, Alberta and Ontario. He shared one personal anecdote from his time with Storrington minor soccer.

ferent from other waves locally, where cases were spread throughout the region. In this wave, the rate remains low in Lennox and Addington, and the more remote parts of Frontenac County. The demographics of active cases in the region were dominated by public school aged children in late October and early November, but the school outbreaks seem to be on the wane as we hit mid-month. The dominant age group for cases is now the 18-29 year old age range. Of 120 cases that were reported in the week of November 8-15, almost a third (39) were among this group. The 30-39 year old group is close behind, with 32 cases, and there were 18 among those aged 40-49. The case rate for those 9 and under was 17 for the week. The testing positivity rate in the region is now 2.49%, the highest it has been The region remains in the orange zone under the old regional colour coded system, but the red zone is now in sight. Dr. Oglaza said that the rate of infection among the unvaccinated population is now 6 times that of the vaccinated population in the region. The age groups with the

“I was in charge of the bursaries for kids who couldn’t play because of the cost,” Roberts said. “One day, I visited a home where one kid who really wanted to play asked ‘is this the man who’s going to let me play soccer?’ “I guarantee you he played soccer that year.” “You’re all heroes for the work you’ve done,” said Ron Sleeth. ■

Although 86.8% of KFL&A residents 12 and over have been fully vaccinated, that rate is only 71.6% among 2029 year olds, and 70.6% among 30-40 year olds. Late last week, the region hit the provincial target of 90% of eligible residents having received a first dose of vaccine, but at the current rate of vaccination, achieving 90% full vaccination for the entire 12 and over population will not happen until the beginning of 2022, after the Christmas holiday season. Dr. Oglaza said that the majority of case spread in the region has been the result of private gatherings among family and friends, and not from public spaces such as schools or restaurants. That was one of the reasons he noted for saying that the KFLAPH is not considering bringing in local measures such as re-imposing capacity limits in restaurants, in order to bring the recent spike in cases to an end. “That is not where the virus is spreading,” he said. There will be a media briefing on Tuesday afternoon this week, and we will see at that time if the case spread late last week has changed the outlook in the region. ■

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

What’s Up in the Night Sky? November 2021 by Fred Barrett In the early morning of November 19th at 3:19 am, we have a Full Moon – but with a special treat. Between 2am and 5am, a total penumbral eclipse takes place. Remember that an eclipse of the Moon can only occur at full moon when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and casts a shadow on the Moon. It is not particularly rare. It happens a minimum of 2 times to a maximum of 5 times a year but it’s rare to observe one because you have to be in the right place and the right time on Earth to see it. To muddle things a bit, there are 3 kinds of lunar eclipses. In a total eclipse of the Moon, the dark inner part of the Earth’s shadow, called the umbra, falls on the moon’s face. The entire Moon is in dark shadow and it may often appear blood red. A second type of eclipse is called a partial eclipse where the umbra only

takes a bite out of the Moon. The dark bite grows larger and then smaller, never completely covering the Moon. What we have on the early morning of November 19th is called a penumbral lunar eclipse. In this third type of eclipse, only the diffuse outer shadow of the Earth, called the penumbra, falls on the moon’s face. It’s much more subtle and more difficult to observe than either the total or partial eclipses. There is no dark bite taken out of the Moon since the umbra never touches or covers the Moon. Observant moon watchers will notice a gray shading slip across the moon’s surface to completely cover it. Creepy! Another spectacle this month is the annual Leonid meteor shower. It peaks on the 17th and is well worth viewing in the days following the peak. Unfortunately, the almost full moon interferes with good meteor watching. It helps to observe the

shower if you position yourself in a spot where the moon is blocked – like behind a wall or house. Venus can be found in the southwest in the evening and Jupiter and Saturn are in the south heading for the southwest by midnight. By morning you can find Mars and Mercury very low in the east. Highlights: November 17: Leonid meteor shower peaks. November 19: Full Moon occurs at 3:57 am EST. Penumbral eclipse occurs. This Full Moon is called the Full Beaver Moon or the Full Deer Rutting Moon. Beaver have finished their work for the year and retire to their lodges for the winter – sounds comfy. And deer run about doing what comes natural. November 20: The Moon is at apogee – 403,920 Kms. A new contest begins next month. I
