Road classification and winter maintenance motion referred to public works committeeBy Craig BakayReporter
Gazette News — One of the things that led to Coun. Mark Schjerning’s request for a comprehen-sive review of South Frontenac’s compliance with provincial and federal regulations was his allega-tion that there are Township roads in South Fron-tenac that aren’t receiving winter maintenance and that there is no record of roads being classified.
At the regular Council meeting last week in Sydenham, Schjerning submitted a notice of mo-tion that: “those township roads currently receiv-ing no winter maintenance that have year-round residents living on them be identified; and that a plan be established immediately to ensure winter maintenance, to include snow plowing, sanding and salting as required (and) that the Public Works Manager be authorized to make the arrangements necessary to provide these services during the 2014-2015 winter season.”
In a report to Council, CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr said: “Council, through the minutes of the Public Services Committee, has been kept apprised of the work being done to identify and establish criteria to evaluate service levels on partially maintained roads throughout the Township.
“While this process is underway, residents are receiving the same level of service that they have had in previous years.”
Orr went on to acknowledge that there are “42 public roads identified that do not have full maintenance, 14 of these do not have any winter maintenance.”
Orr said that this inventory is still being re-fined.
“Current staffing and fleet are not capable of absorbing this additional work without negatively affecting service levels on currently maintained roads and possibly reducing our ability to meet minimum maintenance standards,” Orr said. “No budget has been set aside for the associated over-time costs.
“Procurement procedures would not allow for sufficient time to introduce the contracting of such services without resorting to sole sourcing, nor has routing been considered to determine the most efficient manner of doing this work (and) the cost to implement this Notice of Motion is unknown at this time.”
Orr said a set of draft criteria has been presented to Council but no further work has been undertaken to “populate this draft” (ie there is no standard as to what constitutes permanent residency).
He said the matter was to be on the agenda for a future Public Services Committee meeting.
Council decided to defer the motion until the PSC could meet and look at it.
One of the roads in question is the east end of Long Lake Road, which resident Dave Plumpton said hasn’t been plowed in the three years he’s lived there.
As to Schjerning’s contention that there is no inventory of road classifications in the Township, both members of the media were given a map be-fore the meeting which shows quite clearly the classification of every Township-owned road in South Frontenac.

South Frontenac food bank fuller than ever thanks to local food drivesBy Mandy [email protected]
Gazette News – The spirit of giv-ing is alive and well in South Fron-tenac, especially when it comes to food donations. In the past month the South Frontenac Community Service Corporation (SFCSC) Food Bank has been on the receiving end of two very successful food drives, leaving their shelves brimming with food ready to be donated to those in need.
“It really has been excellent,” said SFCSC food bank coordinator Jen-nifer Linton. “The Frontenac Flyers held a food drive in November for us and now we have the annual Stuff the Cruiser drive and I suspect we will receive more than ever from that.”
This year marked the fourth year for ‘Stuff the Cruiser’ a bi-annual food drive campaign put on by the O.P.P in South Frontenac at the Foodland locations in Verona and Sydenham. Officers donate their time to stand in front of both loca-tions and ask patrons to fill their cruiser with pre-prepared food bags, items of their choosing or monetary donations.
“I have a great relationship with the manager of Foodland here in Sydenham, Dave Stacey, and we work together to make up the packed bags based on the food bank’s needs
and their stock,” said Linton. “We package the bags so that they are $5, $10, or $20 and people can choose how much they want to spend.”
The one day food drive usually raises about $700 in cash between the two locations and about 2,000 pounds of food, but Linton expected totals to come in even higher at the end of the Dec. 13 event. Those to-tals will also be added to the $959.11 and 327 pounds of food raised by the Frontenac Flyers pee wee hockey team on Nov. 22.
“The generosity has been over-whelming this year,” said Linton. “The community is really giving back and that helps us do our jobs better and helps us provide more for families in need.”
Like so many other organizations, the food bank has seen an increase in need over the past few years and now they serve about 63-65 clients a month. The location in Sydenham started off as a food pantry and has slowly expanded to take over most of the building in order to keep up with demand.
Linton has been with the food bank for six years now and she started volunteering when she saw an increased need for support at the location.
“I really enjoy helping people and we have gotten so much busier over the years. I came on when there was
really nobody making hampers but the staff. They would stop during their work day and build hampers when needed, but now that would take too much time away from their work, so I come in.”
The food bank is also expanding in terms of their programming. Last year they started offering crock-pot cooking classes to families.
“We do that a couple times of year. Families come in and receive a crock pot during their first class and then we teach them how to make a beef stew,” explained Linton. “We also give the families a vegetable peeler, a paring knife and a cutting board and then we invite them back to learn new recipes. It has been quite successful.”
The food bank has also received grants from the Community Founda-tion to improve their facilities with new stainless steel tables and vinyl flooring, allowing for easier and more hygienic food preparation. While Linton is grateful for the grants and the help with expansion, she wishes that there was no need to expand.
“Sadly, I don’t think food banks will ever go out of business, but we try to work on the dignity and really provide a dignified place for people to come to. We have such an amaz-ing community here and everyone really works together and for that I am so grateful.”

South Frontenac looks at increasing subsidies for private lane maintenanceBy Craig BakayReporter
Gazette News — One thing likely to come up for discussion when South Frontenac begins its budget delibera-tions in earnest come February is an extension, and perhaps expansion, of its private lane upgrading assistance
program. At its regular meeting last week
in Sydenham, Public Works Manager Mark Segsworth presented Council with a report on the 2014 program, for which $60,000 had been bud-geted.
“This was the seventh year of the program and it’s increasing in popu-
larity,” he said. “The intent of the program is to subsidize up to 50 per cent of eligible expenditures for pri-vate lane upgrades that will improve access for emergency vehicles.
“The sheer magnitude of the work completed this year has required an iterative approach to the budgeted funds.”
In all, Council approved funding for 24 private lanes, ranging from $9,239.87 for Maple Grove Lane to $239.44 for Bauder Road Lane. (Coun. John McDougall declared a conflict of interest for this one and removed himself from the discussion and vote.)
In addition, $11,070.63 was al-located for Parson’s Point Lane to which Segsworth said: “It should be noted that, because of the significant expenditure on Parson’s Point Lane, the intention was to arrive at an actual subsidy amount comparable to those
lanes applying for the first time.” Twelve lanes were awarded first-
time subsidies at a rate of 40 per cent of the total expenditure for a total of $29,102.14. Five lanes had ap-plied once before and were awarded subsidies of 35 per cent for a total of $10,590.68. Three lanes had ap-plied twice before and were awarded subsidies of 30 per cent for a total of $6,038.58. One land had applied three times before and was awarded a 20 per cent subsidy of $2,387 and two lanes that have applied more than three times before were awarded subsidies of 10 per cent for a total of $1,127.27.
Noting the disparity in the number of times applied, Coun. Pat Barr sug-gested that perhaps a system of only being allowed to apply in alternating years might be appropriate.
“If you applied last year, you’d have to wait a year before applying
again,” she said. “I know people like to budget but I’d also like to spread this around.”
“Should we review the criteria?” said Segsworth. “It’s probably a good idea if you can fit it in with all the other initiatives we have this year.”
Mayor Ron Vandewal has been an advocate of the program since its inception and argued that enhancing it to the tune of $100,000 total would “not be out of line.”
He said not only do laneways get upgraded for emergency vehicles but it also causes people “to buy into the maintenance of their lane.
“And, they get the expertise of our Public Works Manager. I’ve been out with Mark when he’s gone to look at some of the proposed projects and more than once heard him say ‘I don’t think that’s going to work but if you put some drainage over here, I can get behind it.’”

Major Atom AA Kingston Canadians receive surprise visit from the Stanley CupBy Rob MooyReporter
Gazette News - Christmas ar-
rived early for the Major Atom AA Kingston Canadians hockey team when Lord Stanley’s Cup stopped by for a surprise visit before their practice at the INVISTA Centre on Dec. 17.
The hockey players’ faces lit up with excitement as they filed into the change room and eyed the cup for the first time. With oohs and aahs, the youngsters rushed in to touch the historic cup and search for the names of their favourite teams and players.
As part of their continued com-mitment to kids’ community hockey in Canada, Scotiabank provided the players with the unforgettable sur-prise, allowing each player to touch and have their photo taken with the Stanley Cup. Scotiabank supports over 5,000 teams across Canada, seven in Kingston including the Major Atom AA Kingston Canadi-ans. The team of 10-11 year olds
were given the honour because of their determination, teamwork and what they do off the ice, with their charity work in the community.
“It was amazing,” said defense-man Liam MacFarland. “It was re-ally exciting to touch the cup.”
Team-mate Cole Carter enjoyed seeing his favourite team, the Pitts-burgh Penguins, recorded on the cup three times. “It really means a lot to me, it was fun to touch the same cup that has been held by some of hockey’s greatest players.”
The oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in North America, the Stanley Cup was do-nated in 1892 by Sir Frederick Ar-thur Stanley, Lord Stanley of Pres-ton and son of the Earl of Derby. The first team ever awarded the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Am-ateur Athletic Association in 1893.
Since 1915, when the two pro-fessional ice hockey organizations, the National Hockey Association and Pacific Coast Hockey Asso-ciation, reached an agreement in which their respective champions
would face each other annually for the Stanley Cup. The championship has been won a combined 95 times by 18 active NHL teams and five defunct teams. The Montreal Ca-nadiens hold the distinction of hav-ing won the cup a record 24 times, the last Canadian team to win the championship in 1993. Arch rivals, Toronto Maple Leafs, who last won the Cup in 1967, are a distant sec-ond with 13 wins. There are actu-ally three Stanley Cups: the origi-nal bowl of the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the authenticated Presentation Cup, and the Replica Cup on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame, in Toronto.
It was a once in a life time expe-rience that will not soon be forgot-ten by this talented young hockey team. Adam Nuttall said it best, “It was simply awesome.”

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, December 25, 2014 7
Councilor wants staff to review Township’s compliance with all federal/provincial legislationBy Craig BakayReporter
Gazette News — On the one hand, rookie South Frontenac Coun. Mark Schjerning’s notice of motion requesting a report outlining the Township’s degree of compliance with the various provincial and federal acts that govern a municipality’s activities is something of a motherhood re-quest. Of course a municipality should be expected to comply with the law.
On the other hand, the shear volume of legislation to be combed through let alone cross-referencing with the township’s activ-ities, would require a considerable amount of staff time, at the very least taking depart-ment heads away from other duties or re-quiring additional staff to complete.
Schjerning’s motion, made at the regular Council meeting last week in Sydenham, asked for staff to “prepare a comprehensive report outlining areas where the Town-ship is not in full compliance with all the applicable federal or provincial statutory requirements; and that the report includes the Act(s), Regulation(s), or Guideline(s); the requirement(s) not being met; what is required to become compliant; the estimat-ed time needed to complete; the estimated costs; and the potential liability associated with noncompliance.”
Also the motion required that the report be completed and distributed one week prior to the planned Feb. 8, 2015 all-day budget session.
In a report to Council, CAO/Clerk Wayne Orr listed the numerous pieces of legislation and their respective regulations under which all municipalities operate, in-cluding:
• The Municipal Act• The Planning Act• The Municipal Freedom of Information
and Protection of Privacy Act• The Development Charges Act
• The Environmental Assessment Act• The Environmental Protection Act• The Safe Drinking Water Act• The Employment Standards Act• The Police Services Act• The Fire Protection and Prevention Act• The Ontario Heritage Act• The Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act• The Drainage Act• The Assessment Act• The Building Code Act• The Expropriations Act• The Occupational Health and Safety Act• The Municipal Elections Act• The Cemeteries Act• The Bylaws of South Frontenac “There is no question that the munici-
pality will not be 100 per cent in compli-ance with every bylaw and piece of legisla-tion and regulations,” Orr said. “While staff continues to work towards compliance in all areas, this often conflicts with the expec-tation to maintain service delivery in other areas.
“To complete a comprehensive review of the level of compliance with just the list of legislation above would be very labour intensive and would be at the expense of other day-to-day functions.
“The timeline outlined by Coun. Schjerning is very aggressive (and) staff be-lieve that a more achievable timeline would be the end of March.”
The majority of Council agreed with the end of March target date but some ques-tioned the wisdom of such a study at all.
“I think it’s a reasonably impossible task, and a moving target,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “It’s way too onerous to put this kind of workload on staff.”
“I concur that the timelines are unrea-sonable,” said Coun. John McDougall. “If we could do this two or three at a time, as a Council, it would be a good learning expe-rience for us.”

In Our Opinion
Merry everything to you!
EDITORIAL
If saying “Merry Christmas” is wrong, then I don’t want to be right
Letter to the editor...
Gazette Column — There are, so I hear, people out there who think we shouldn’t say “Merry Christmas.”
Maybe I have that wrong, but, you know, you hear things.
It’s kind of beyond me why saying “Merry Christmas” would bother anybody and while I’m usually quite empathetic about people’s feelings, I just can’t see what could possibly be wrong with wishing someone a happy day, even if it’s only one day a year.
There are, I suppose, differences of opinion when it comes to religious matters. But it’s always seemed to me that Christmas, of all concepts, is one that has managed to transcend religion.
The idea of Peace on Earth, Goodwill Towards Humanity doesn’t seem to have a lot of actual religion in it, now does it?
There has always been something about Christmas that seems to put me in a
good mood, even if it’s only one day in a series of perpetually trying times. When I say “Merry Christmas,” it’s very much an expression of hoping whoever hears it will feel some of that good mood rub off on them. And, I hope that this one day will be a good one for them.
That’s how my mother explained it to me, anyways.
Mom loved Christmas, every part of it, it seemed.
She would bake cookies, and make all sorts of incredible party-type goodies (Christmas Eve was usually at our house when I was a kid. All of Mom’s relatives would stop by for at least a few minutes during the evening.) She loved her tree, which was always a fashion statement. One year, a golden tree featured red cardinals and green apples.
She was legendary for her gift-wrapping prowess and the keeper of a host of Christmas traditions, such as filling a special crystal jar with maraschino cherries, which the ‘elves’ were required to consume before New Year’s.
She loved carols, and Christmas stories and movies. And she didn’t seem able to resist whatever new trinket or
trend that came along. One Christmas, we all got Hai Karate after shave, even those of us too young to shave.
But if I had to pick one thing I remember most about Mom and Christmas, it was the way she’d say it.
There was a lilt in her voice when she said the words. The syllables ‘Mer,’ ‘ry,’ were the same note. Then her voice would rise almost an octave for the ‘Christ’ part before returning to the previous note for ‘mas.’ Mom wasn’t emphasizing Christ for any particular reason, just that she enjoyed being theatrical and, well, she kinda got wound up in all the excitement of the season and couldn’t help being exuberant.
To a certain extent, the Christmas season can bring out the kid in me too. For one thing, I like the presents part and as trite as this may sound, I really do enjoy giving presents even more than getting them. There’s something in that challenge of finding just the right something for someone that means a lot to you . . .
And you know what else I like . . . wishing someone a “Merry Christmas,” so Merry Christmas everybody.
Craig BakayRepoRteR
Gazette Editorial – These days, it seems like for every person who is offended by the term “Merry Christmas”, there is someone who is equally offended by “Happy Holidays.”
Tell someone “Merry Christmas” and you run the risk of people thinking you’re a closed-minded bigot who is wilfully blind to the fact that people celebrate things other than Christmas at this time of year. Tell someone “Happy Holidays” and you’re accused of waging a “war on Christmas” with your overly politically correct, gotta please everyone attitude.
Every day, millions of people all over the world are murdered, oppressed, abused, starved, tortured and stricken with poverty and disease. Just south of the border, so close to home, we have police killing civilians because of the colour of their skin and getting away with it. Why do we choose to spend energy getting upset over people not sending others a friendly greeting the proper way?
This holiday season, let’s try and save our wrath for those who truly deserve it. Not only will this perhaps inspire us to give a bit more to those in need, but it could also encourage forgiveness and acceptance among friends, family members and acquaintances.
There is a reason so many cultures have a tradition of holding celebrations at this time of year. It’s cold and dark outside and we all need some cheering up; whether that comes from stringing lights on a Christmas tree, lighting a menorah or gathering around the Festivus poll to air your grievances, it’s all good!
Most of us at The Heritage/Gazette celebrate Christmas, but if someone wishes us a Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays or Joyous Kwanzaa, let’s hope that we are all able to appreciate the greeting for what is: a kind gesture of goodwill at this dreary time of year.
In his editorial in the December 11, 2014 edition of the Frontenac Gazette, Mr. Bakay states:
“A couple of loads of gravel and a grader run of two is a lot cheaper than paving , especially when you keep in mind that a paved road needs a lot of maintenance just to keep at a particular standard”
I travel the back roads quite a bit and my experience has been very different from Mr, Bakay’s. I find that unpaved roads require a lot more maintenance than paved ones, often many loads of gravel many times a summer. What’s really troubling is that the gravel and grader is a very short term solution.The ruts and potholes return very quickly, often
within days. I often think that gravel and grading is throwing good money after bad. One thing that Mr. Bakay does not mention is the damage done to vehicles on unpaved roads and the costs accrued to repair suspensions and replace tires. I often travel on the paved portions of White lake Road and Canoe Lake Road and I don’t see a lot of maintenance being done on them. I know that Mr. Bakay goes to many community events and meetings and I am sure he drives the roads more than I do. I wonder if he has spoken to the Roads Department people to get the actual facts and figures or whether this is his opinion?

Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, December 25, 2014 9
Reflecting on the year
Gazette Editorial – I know it isn’t quite the New Year just yet, but Christ-mas always makes me a bit reflective. For most of the year, time seems to pass so quickly, but at Christmas I always feel like everything slows down a bit (after you finish shopping). Everyone gets at least a couple of days off work and that time is typically spent with family and friends, eating good food, enjoying some festive beverages and catching up.
In my case, this year feels a bit strange. As I men-tioned earlier in the year, my parents moved from my childhood home in April. I’ve spent ev-ery Christmas I can remember in that house. Santa came down that chimney for many years and wrote me letters that looked suspi-ciously like they were written by my father in that house. I opened presents by our big tree, then opened my stock-ing that hung on the brick fireplace while watching the Disney Christmas Day parade (a fam-ily tradition). While Christmas became less magical when I learned the truth about Santa, I al-ways looked for-ward to these tradi-tions in that house.
While I am still looking forward to the holidays and spending time with my family, I am feeling a bit nostal-gic for the comfort that comes with the house I grew up in. No matter how much my mom decorates the new house, it isn’t the same and I am not looking forward to that. I guess it is time to move on and create new memories and new feelings of home, but that is easier said than done.
I am also reflecting on the rest of the year that has passed and feeling happy and sad all at the same time. I am happy to still be working in a job that I love and working to build experience for my career and I’m happy that Korey is do-ing the same at Queen’s. But at the same time I am thinking about loved ones that were lost this year and the memories I shared with them. As Korey and I wrote Christmas cards together, I hated not being able to send cards to people who were around last Christmas, but aren’t now.
As we age, these experiences be-come more frequent, but they certainly aren’t any easier to deal with. My only solution is to cherish those that are still with me and focus on spending time
with those I love and care for. I know they won’t be around forever, but my memories of the time I spent with them will stay with me.
On a more positive note, I am look-ing forward to the New Year and pro-
gressing in positive ways. I am not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions so I probably won’t make any, and I am not a huge partier so I probably won’t be celebrating the New Year in an elabo-rate fashion, but I am perfectly fine with
that. Just give me some champagne and a spot on the couch with Korey and the cat and I’m happy. So on that note, Mer-ry Christmas everyone and I hope the New Year brings happiness and positiv-ity your way.

Top 10 Christmas moviesBy Hollie [email protected]
Editorial – Christmas is almost here! Are you looking for some great seasonal movies to watch with your family? Allow me to be of some assistance. Here are the top 10, according to yours truly...a profes-sional watcher of movies for 31 years and counting.10) Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole
Christmas (1966 cartoon) – In recent years, it seems the Jim Carey version
has overtaken the original Grinch car-toon from the ‘60s in popularity, but I’m still partial to the classic.
9) National Lampoon’s Christmas Va-cation – My husband, Steve, absolute-ly loves this movie. We put it on and he laughs and laughs until he cries. I’m of the opinion that it’s funny, but not quite THAT funny. Still, it made this list because of Steve. It’s always extra lovely to see the people you love happy at Christmas.
8) Die Hard - Yippee-ki-yay, ho, ho, ho.
Definitely a Christmas movie if I’ve ever seen one.
7) Frosty the Snowman (1969 version) – There have been quite a few not-so-great remakes and sequel type things to Frosty the Snowman over the decades, and I fail to understand why since the original more than stands the test of time. Plus, it has Jimmy Durante!
6) A Charlie Brown Christmas – An-other great classic you can enjoy with the kids. It wouldn’t be Christ-mas without children’s voices sing-ing “Christmastime is Here” and that poor little tree.
5) Home Alone 1 and 2 – Confession: When I was a kid, my cousin Ash-ley and I would watch Home Alone
on pretty much a weekly basis, all year round. As a result, I can recite it word-for-word. I’m including the sequel as well, because it’s also very good…and because it’s my dream to spend Christmas in New York some day.
4) Miracle on 34th Street (1994 ver-sion) – Yes I know the original ver-sion of this movie is probably better and Dylan McDermott isn’t the great-est actor in the world, but this is the one I saw first. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
3) Love Actually - Love is beautiful. Love is exhilarating. Love is painful. Love...actually...is...all around. Steve and I first saw this movie at the the-
atre together years ago and continue to watch it every year.
2) A Christmas Carol (1951 version) – There are many versions of A Christ-mas Carol around, but this one is by far the best adaptation, in my humble opinion. Better still, though: read the Charles Dickens book. I used to read it almost every December, before I had a kid and lost the majority of my reading time.
1) It’s a Wonderful Life – This is prob-ably on my top five movies of all time list, Christmas or otherwise, so of course it’s number one here. Few things cheer me up like Jimmy Stew-art in It’s a Wonderful Life…which is why you just might catch me watch-ing it after a rough day at any time of year.
Honourable mentions:A Christmas Story – Oddly enough, I
have never seen this movie, so it’s not on my top 10 list. But a lot of people love it, so I have a feeling I might get into some trouble if I don’t mention it.
The Sound of Music – I have no clue why this is considered a Christmas movie, but a lot of people seem to think it is one. Seriously, there’s not a single scene in it in-volving Christmas. The Godfather is more of a Christmas movie than The Sound of Music. Whatever the reason, I love this movie so I couldn’t not mention it.

It’s winter, and with it comes special driving conditions on area roadsBy Craig BakayReporter
Gazette News — Winter is here, and with it come all of those spe-cial driving conditions those of us in northern climes live with every year.
That fact is not lost on public works managers or the OPP, both of whom must deal with those condi-tions, and drivers’ approach to them, on a daily basis every winter.
The Frontenac Gazette sat down last week with South Frontenac Public Works Manager Mark Segs-worth, roads supervisor Brian Kirk, and OPP Const. Roop Sandhu to “reduce accidents and collisions in the winter.”
“What can we say to the public to improve safety?” said Segsworth.
“Slow down, for one thing,” said Sandhu. “There were 33,000 colli-sions on OPP-patrolled roads last year and almost all of them were due to poor driving behaviour.
“Driving too fast for the condi-tions — weather, traffic, road con-dition — is a major factor.”
“You have to drive to the condi-tions, that’s for sure,” agreed Seg-sworth.
“Drive at a speed you feel com-fortable that you can control your vehicle,” said Sandhu. “For exam-
ple, at 60 kph, it takes 20 metres to stop on a dry surface.
“When that surface is icy, it takes 70 metres to stop.”
Icy roads are something Segs-worth and Kirk deal with regularly in the winter.
“We check the weather networks and our goal is to make at least one pass before the school buses ar-rive,” said Kirk. “Last winter was challenging.
“This winter has already been challenging with the alternating freeze-thaw cycles we’ve been go-ing through.”
When it comes to winter road maintenance, Segsworth and Kirk are governed by Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways. Under the statute, roads are clas-sified as 1-5 and the classification determines how often the road has to be patrolled and when it has to be plowed and/or salted/sanded.
Under the classification, four-lane highways are Class 1 and obvi-ously have the highest standards for snow/ice removal. South Frontenac doesn’t have any of these. It does however have one Class 2 road, Road 38, and snow accumulation on it must be addressed within six hours when it reaches a depth of 3 centimetres.
Class 3 roads (Perth Road, Bat-tersea Road, Moreland-Dixon Road, Sunbury Road, Rutledge Road, Bedford Road, Sydenham Road, Alton Road East, Loughborough-Portland Boundary Road, Wilton Road, Yarker Road, Bellrock Road, Desert Lake Road and Westport Road) must be addressed within 12 hours after an accumulation of 8 centimetres. Icy conditions must be dealt with within 8 hours
For Class 4 roads, it’s 16 hours and 8 centimetres (ice in 12 hours)
and for Class 5 roads, 10 centime-tres within 24 hours (ice within 16 hours).
“We’re not perfect, but we think we do a pretty good job on that,” said Segsworth.
“In most cases, we exceed those standards,” said Kirk.
But ultimately, it comes down to the individual driver, they agreed.
“The way you drive in winter should be different,” said Sandhu.
“Check the weather conditions and don’t make any trips you don’t
have to. If you are driving and con-ditions become so bad that you have to pull over, find a safe spot, don’t do it on the side of the road.”
He also suggested calling ahead if visiting friends, family and let-ting them know the route you’ll be taking, just in case police need to come looking for you, clearing your vehicle of snow and ice, top-ping off wiper fluid and carrying an emergency kit in the car.
And they all agreed, don’t pass the snow plow.

Local church and mosque work together to help Syrian family come to CanadaBy Mandy [email protected]
Gazette News – Imagine your home, your country and the life you built being overtaken by civil war. Sadly, this is the situation many Syr-ian families are facing. Many have been forced to seek refuge in other countries, unsure of when or even if they will be able to return to their homes.
As Reverend Dawn Clarke of Perth Road United Church watched the events in Syria intensify, she felt
helpless. She wondered, like many of us, what she could do to help.
“I personally experienced really intense distress over the news,” said Clarke. “It was upsetting me so much that I had to do something about it. I knew my contribution would have to be small, but I came up with the idea of sponsoring a refugee family and maybe helping give them a bet-ter life.”
In December of 2013, Clarke brought this idea to her own con-gregation in Perth Road. The 30-plus members of the congregation
were enthusiastic to help. She then contacted the Islamic Society in Kingston (ISK), wondering if they too would like to help and if they had a family in mind that needed sponsorship. The ISK immediately said yes to both requests and the two groups quickly found a family with a Kingston connection.
“My brother in law and his wife and three kids are currently living in a basement in Lebanon. They were in a life-threatening situation in Syria and they had no choice but to leave,” explained ISK member Yas-
er Al Mtawa. “We wanted to help them, but didn’t know how so when this opportunity came up we were so grateful.”
While the initial idea of sponsor-ing a family seemed fairly simple, the process is not. Despite the huge numbers of people fleeing Syria dai-ly, the obstacles to sponsorship are formidable. The application form required by the Canadian govern-ment is 100 pages long, and spon-sors must provide a guarantee of $35,000 for each family.
“I had no idea that the amount of money we needed to raise would be so high, but I wasn’t discouraged,” said Clarke. “That amount covers food, housing, transportation, cloth-ing and all of the essentials for this family when they come over here. We are working really hard to raise the funds as soon as possible.”
Through fundraisers, personal do-nations, bazaars and movie nights, Clark and her congregation, along with the ISK, have raised just over $15,000 so far. They know that they still have a fair bit of work to do, but their motivation remains strong.
“We are getting to know the fam-ily through this process and that just gives us more motivation,” noted Clarke. “The children are delightful
and we’d really love to help them have a better life.”
The family is also grateful for the support. Al Mtawa speaks to them on a daily basis and even visited them this past June.
“I witnessed their situation first-hand and that made it even more important for me,” said Al Mtawa. “When they found out about this fundraising campaign, they were so happy. They are dreaming of Canada and really counting the days.”
While the application has been submitted, Al Mtawa is unsure of how long the process will take. For now the focus is on raising more funds and encouraging more com-munity members to help if they can.
“I think that a lot of people feel exactly the way that I was feel-ing about a year ago,” said Clarke. “They want to help but don’t know how. There are so many families going through this hardship and we can help. It may be a small act, but I hope we can sponsor more fami-lies after this is successful and we can make a difference one family at a time.”

ENCHANTÉ
A spiritual journey in theatreBy Mark BerginColumnist
Gazette Lifestyle – When great actors of the stage are mentioned, we often think of those in their gold-en years. Vanessa Redgrave, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Patti Lupone come instantly to mind.
But one of the greatest stage ac-tors of this generation will be in her thirties for about four more years, and she could easily pass for a much younger twenty-something. Celia Keenan-Bolger blasted onto Broadway in 2005, garnering a Tony Award nomination for Best Perfor-mance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for her debut as Olive Os-trovsky in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. She won a Drama Desk Award and the Theatre World Award.
In the past few years, her skills and performing diversity have glowed wherever she’s set foot. In Peter and the Starcatcher (the back story to Peter Pan), she won the hearts of thousands in her role as Molly, the adventurous girl for whom Peter would fall, if he could grow up. She won the Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for the
role and was again nominated for a Tony, this time for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play.
Last year, as emotionally pained Laura Wingfield in The Glass Me-nagerie, alongside other stage greats Cherry Jones, Zachary Quinto and Brian J. Smith, Keenan-Bolger again tugged at heart strings. She took a classic role and made it her own, de-fining for years to come the young woman with a limp and a searing insecurity. She received another Tony nomination for her portrayal of the painfully shy girl. She won every other award for which she was nominated, including a Drama Desk Award and the Theatre World Award.
But it is her current work as “Mother” in The Oldest Boy that has taken everything to a new level and depth. The off-Broadway produc-tion at Lincoln Center’s Newhouse Theater is a masterpiece in its own right, with a cast and crew that do it justice. It is probably the most aesthetically beautiful production I have ever seen.
Sitting with the stage phenom at Lincoln Center Theater after a recent matinee performance feels more like a late night metaphysical chat.
In The Oldest Boy, the fourth wall, that psycho-emotional bound-ary between performer and audi-ence, is more a thin veil than solid wall.
The Oldest Boy opens with Moth-er walking onto stage, the house lights still on, sitting in a meditative posture, facing the audience. Moth-er looks into the eyes of audience members, acknowledges the awk-wardness of the situation and turns herself around.
“I have a different relationship to this play,” says Keenan-Bolger. “The audience is the last character of the play. I look into people’s eyes and try to connect with them. What happens couldn’t be manufactured. In this play, that’s such a huge and important part of telling the story.”
She explains that she’s gotten more comfortable with the process during the play’s run.
Celia Keenan-Bolger brings the bittersweet magic of Peter and the Starcatcher and the pain and sorrow of The Glass Menagerie to her new role as Mother in The Oldest Boy.
This, once again, is why I love off-Broadway so much. So many more risks; so much depth. It’s a two hour spiritual dance (and literal rit-
ual dance, at times) between Tibetan Buddhist culture, with its spiritual-ity and ritual, and Western Culture: the value of ritual; the beauty of spirit; the confusion of rationality; the agony and joy of parenthood; the pain of letting go; knowing when to let go; the foolishness of parent-ing theories, which change with the seasons.
A monk sums up Western love in one sentence to Mother: “You con-fuse attachment with love. Love is not attachment.”
I can’t say enough good things about this play. Suffice to say that when I first saw it, I went back two days later to experience it again.
Celia Keenan-Bolger breaks hearts with her acting in this one. But every actor is strong. The rituals are mesmerizing. The dance. The tea ceremonies. The excruciating joy of childbirth. The excruciating pain of letting go. The risk of feeling. Sim-ply overwhelming.
“It’s a beautiful new play by Sarah Ruhl about a woman, who lives in the United States, married
to a man from Nepal,” says Keenan-Bolger.”They have a three-year-old toddler, Tenzin. Her husband is Bud-dhist, and she is interested in Bud-dhism as well. Two monks come to her house and say that they believe that her child is the reincarnation of a High Lama, a teacher. They want to take him back to India to educate him. She has to decide if this is even a legitimate claim and then has to come to terms with the decision of letting her child be taken away and educated as a Buddhist.”
Given the emotional depth of this production, I asked Celia what she’s learned about herself.
“I think what I learned about my-self.” She pauses. “I haven’t totally answered this before. I think...” She pauses again. She’s thinking this one through.
“I do different things, like a play’s revival or a musical and that fulfills me.” She pauses again. Silence. She leans back and looks upward, then makes eye contact again.613-546-8885

A space to call your own is important for every teen-ager. For Justice, an uplifting young lady from Kingston, Ontario, a personalized bed-room is a dream come true. Justice has spina bifida, a dis-abling condition that occurs when a baby’s spinal column does not fully close all the way when still in the womb.
Her dream was to have her very own bedroom suite from The Brick, so that she could sleep on a normal bed and have a beautiful personal space of her own. Justice’s desire for a bedroom suite from The Brick was so im-portant to her, that she had framed a photo of her favor-ite collection and placed it beside her bed.
When Make-A-Wish® Eastern Ontario heard about
Justice’s dream, they con-tacted The Brick to make it happen. We were so honored to help make Justice’s dream come true, we pulled out all the stops to create a perfect bedroom just for her – and then some. This video shows how our Brick team pulled together to give Justice her best day ever.

By Kate Kristiansen
Chestnuts roasting by the open fire commonly spark thoughts of the holiday season. These smooth, red-brown edible nuts taste good and are packed with healthy benefits.
Since she was a young girl, my friend Helen eats these as a snack year round—nibbling away on bags of fresh and sometimes roasted ones. She loves to crack the hard, chewy shell, eating the creamy white fleshy goodness inside.
Given their nutritional value, these morsels are hailed as a symbol of longevity and fertility by many North American nomads. Chestnuts drop from their deciduous trees in the fall, so are also a sign of harvest and abundance. Many other areas of the world also value their health benefits, such as China, Korea, Japan and the Mediterranean. Greeks deem that the chestnut is superior to the almond, hazelnut, and walnut. (My friend Helen is Greek, and she would agree.)
Unlike other nuts, chestnuts are low in fat and high in starch content. The fibre content of a chestnut is 3.1 g per 100 grams; this them a low glycemic index food, one that raises blood sugar slowly. Chestnuts are high in vitamin C, minerals, such as potassium, copper and magnesium, amino acids and antioxidants. They also provide 195 calories per 100 g serving, mostly coming from their carbohydrate content, according to Livestrong.com.
They can be crumbly in texture and mild and sweet to taste. They can be eaten boiled or roasted. I enjoy them in my annual holiday stuffing; I have seen them in soups, and ground down to flour for baking. In addition, they are high in essential fatty acids and the best part is they do not have gluten (the binding protein in grain, which can upset the small intestine.)
Chestnuts act as a tonic for mus-cles, nerves, and veins. Edible chest-nut leaves are recommended as a sedative on respiratory organs and can aid in treating bronchitis.
Many grocery stores sell chestnuts throughout the winter, or you can find them canned and bottled. When buy-ing chestnuts, look for smooth, shiny shells, which do not rattle inside their hull. Store in a cool, dry place, and after hulling keep them refrigerated.
The classic way to eat them is by roasting. Slice a thin line in the hull so they don’t split or burst in the oven or fire. Roast in a pan for approximately 25 minutes, until the hulls become darker. Do not eat un-til they are cool, despite how yummy they smell.
Raw chestnut can be unsafe and poisonous. Only eat sweet, edible chestnuts found in spiky pods, not Horse Chestnuts. Find the good ones, roast or boil them up and eat them like candy. Share and enjoy!
Happy Holidays.

For the love of chestnuts
20 Frontenac Gazette - Thursday, December 25, 2014
This Christmas was a different and memorable one for Mary
Gazette Lifestyle - Was it really so long ago, on that special Christmas morning when everything was the same as other Christmas mornings, but so very different on looking back?
That special day, of course, didn’t al-low for special privileges. We still had early morning chores to do, we had to have a full breakfast, the kitchen had to be redded up, and we had to be fully dressed, and ready for church, all before we got near the Christmas tree propped in a corner of the kitchen.
The tree was always in the kitchen, even though the blasts from the old Find-lay Oval, caused it to shed, and leave it with pretty scant branches by the time Christmas morning rolled around. Put-ting up the tree in the parlour, the small-est room in the old log house was never an option. As soon as the first blasts
of winter hit Northcote, the room was closed up with a rolled braided rug shoved tight against the door to keep out the draft, and it would stay that way un-til the snow was gone. So there was the tree, propped in a corner by the icebox, anchored with wires into the wainscoting to keep it from falling over.
Finally, we had done the chores, had our breakfast, we were dressed for church, and Father moved over to the tree, sat down on the floor, and made a great pretense of not being able to ready the cards Santa had attached to each par-cel. On other Christmas mornings, we were handed out stockings first. These weren’t the fancy red felt stockings you could buy at the Dime Store for ten cents...these were Father’s grey work socks, each with a name attached to the top. No, that morning, we were handed the parcels first. There were the usual hand-knit mitts, a small book...we al-ways could count on a book...and a small toy. I remember mine as if it were hand-ed to me yesterday...it was a small game of Chinese checkers. It looked very much like the very same game I had seen in the Dime Store weeks before. But I
was thrilled. Especially when I found it wrapped inside my very first pair of long white stockings!!! Such luxury was simply beyond me! I had never owned a pair of white stockings before.
Finally, all that was left were the five stockings. As Father picked the first one up, he told us we were not to look inside until everyone had his stocking in his hand. It all sounded very mysterious to me, but it added to the excitement. I knew for a fact there would be an orange in the toe. We always got an orange - our once-a-year orange!
When Father was sure we each had our stockings, he gave us the nod that we could dig into them. I couldn’t under-stand why we all had to do it at once, the stockings were usually not too interest-ing, but that morning, Father and Mother seemed more excited that any of us five children.
The first thing we found was an enve-lope with our name on it. It was Moth-er’s writing, and the envelope was the kind we used back then - flimsy and blue lined. Well, let me tell you, when we ripped into the envelope, you could hear the yells in Renfrew. Inside each was a
crisp $1 bill!Not one of us had ever, in our entire
lives, had a $1 bill! I had once been able to amass 33 cents tied in the corner of my hankie and thought I was rich beyond means. But a whole dollar in the form of a bill? Unheard of.
“Where did it come from?” I was the first to ask. And then Mother ex-plained it all to us. Uncle Lou, our rich uncle from New York, the one with the big black Buick. The uncle who wore pressed grey flannels. The uncle who put the terrazzo floor in the Waldorf Astoria, had sent Mother a $5 bill, and she was to have it changed at the bank in Renfrew, and each of us five children was to have a whole dollar in our stocking!
Mother laughed when she told us how she had to go into the bank with an Amer-ican $5 bill, and change it into Canadian money...and how the teller had to know all about it. And I knew Mother would have told her about her rich brother in New York, and how good he was to all of us, all the way out there in Northcote.
Emerson, Everett and Earl folded their dollars into small squares and squirreled them away into their Sunday pants pock-
ets. Audrey put hers in her shoe, which I thought was a silly place for a dollar bill, but then I knew she would likely show it off to her friend Iva at church. I knew mine would go into the little drawer of my washstand upstairs...not tied in the corner of my hanky. Oh no! It would be laid out flat under my pile of hankies, and I wouldn’t spend it on something foolish. The rest of what was in our stockings paled in comparison to our crisp $1 bills. In fact, by the time we were in the sleigh on the way to the Lutheran Church in Northcote, I couldn’t remember a thing in my stocking, except of course the $1 bill. And the orange.
May I take this opportunity to wish all of you the most merriest of Christmases. And my prayer is that you will be sur-rounded by loved ones, and remember the true message in this joyous time of year.

ENCHANTÉ
A spiritual journey in theatre“From the many roles I’ve had before,
I’ve taken bits and pieces of things I’ve learned and put it all together in this one,” she says. “This was the first time I was on stage for the entire show. It felt like I had so many tools to do that. I realize how many amazing actors and actresses and directors I’ve learned from. As you work on stage, you really are building a body of work. Ev-erything you do influences the next work you do.”
Celia Keenan-Bolger grew up in Detroit and has been performing since childhood. Her younger brother (Andrew) and sister (Maggie) are also theatre professionals.
“I was the oldest of three and have loved theatre since I was very young,” she says. “I went to a community theatre production of Sound of Music in Detroit and fell in love with it. I always had a sort of talkative precocious side. And I have amazing par-ents. My mother is a teacher and dad is an urban planner. They had no stake in our be-ing in theatre. They really let us be our own people. It’s like what this play addresses. I probably talked a lot and got up from the dinner table to tell stories. That was em-braced by my family and not shut down.”
She started performing in children’s the-atre at a young age.
“I never really stopped,” she says.She attended a performing arts school in
Detroit and then attended the University of Michigan for musical theatre.
“There is something amazing about the-atre,” she says. “It’s hard to master it. I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of different types of characters.”
The Oldest Boy is about attachment, love and letting go. It’s also a spiritual jour-ney.
“I think when I first read this play many months ago, I had a very emotional reac-tion to it. It’s a strange ephemeral experi-ence in this play. I dig deeper night after night. The writing and direction help to sustain an emotional response. I’m very curious about the questions this play is ask-ing. They are very difficult to grapple with. The play has taken care of me. It’s not just about giving away your three year old. We
all have things to let go of.”In her preparation for her role, Keenan-
Bolger went to a Buddhist retreat in up-state New York.
“They said something so profound. True love is wanting what is best for some-one else. That’s not how we’re conditioned to see love.”
She explains that at recent student matinees of The Oldest Boy she thought it might be at a level that was too adult in orientation.
“There are so many ways to keep our brains occupied with screens and you don’t do interesting things with other people,” she says. “Theatre is one of the few places where we all come together and have this shared experience. I really felt it at the student matinees. I thought it was a pretty adult play for Grade 8 and high school students, but their response has been so in-credibly moving to me. I wonder if it just feels good to be in a space with a bunch of other people and get to talk about it when
it’s over. Today, we are not called on to do that very often. I love going to a the-atre. I always have. I’m not religious and have never gone to church, but I think theatre is like a re-ligious experience. It’s that place where you watch people fail and overcome insurmountable odds. You also have this religious and ritual experience of doing something over and over again. You don’t have that in any other part of
life.” I asked her how she was going to say
goodbye to such a masterpiece of a produc-tion.
“It always happens; you get the post-show blues,” she says. “Saying goodbye is done in such a beautiful way in this play itself. There’s so much to talk about around attachment in this play, it gives me a differ-ent perspective on leaving it. You can really care about something and let it go. We in-vest a lot of our lives in something and then have to deal with it being over. The play is about learning to love something and not hold onto it.”
It brings to mind one of Keenan-Bolg-er’s lines as Molly in the last scene of Peter and the Starcatcher, where she’s explaining goodbyes to Peter Pan: “It’s supposed to hurt. That’s how you know it meant some-thing.”
What’s next?“I’m working on a great piece by Ethan
Lipton,” she says. “I saw his No Place To Go and thought I would give anything to work with him. He’s writing a new piece, and I actually get to do something with my husband (actor/producer
John Ellison Conlee). We don’t get to work together, and now we are. It’s Ethan’s new play called Tumacho. It’s a comedy and it’s wacky. It’s very different from [The Old-est Boy]. We’ve been doing readings and workshopping it.”
She pauses again. Her eyes widen and the corners of her lips reach upward. “And we also get to go on vacation soon. We’re going to go to Turks and Caicos.”
Sounds like she’s returning to Never-land.
Keep your eyes open for Celia Keenan-Bolger. Don’t miss any chance to see her perform. The Oldest Boy closes on De-cember 28, and it is worth every effort you can put into getting to Lincoln Center The-ater in New York to see it.
For tickets to The Oldest Boy, go to www.lct.org.

Ring in the New Year with festive party ideas
Although New Year’s Eve parties tend to be similar from year to year, hosts can explore the many ways to make their celebrations stand out from those of years past. This handy guide provides ideas to your get creative juices flowing.
Establish a color palette. Many people equate New Year’s • Eve with the gold and silver hues of champagne. How-ever, you can use any festive color for your party. Use the same colors on everything from invitations to dinnerware to take-home favors.Encourage guest input. Guests understand the cost of • hosting and the amount of planning necessary to throw a festive party, and many will likely reach out to ask what they can do or bring. Figure out in advance which aspects of the party you want your guests to take care of so you have a ready answer when the inquiries start rolling in.Keep musical tastes in mind. A fun party usually includes • an array of familiar songs and music that appeals to the masses. When compiling a party playlist, choose songs guests are sure to know and love. Mix these in with a few of your favorites. You can even ask guests to provide the names of three favorite songs when they RSVP.Dim the lights. Bright lights can make guests feel intimi-• dated and awkward. Set the mood by turning off overhead lights, opting for ambient lighting instead. For a fun ef-fect, string holiday lights around the room or use a por-table disco ball to spread sparkling colors on the floor and ceiling. Candles are another option for intimate affairs, but should be avoided as a safety measure if you’re hav-ing a large crowd.Set out New Year’s fill-in-the-blank cards. Encourage • guest participation with an entertaining idea. Print out small cards that guests have to complete. Phrases like, “The bad habit I want to quit is ___” or “____ was the silliest thing I did last year,” can be fun to do and share. Guests can take turns guessing whose card is being read.Have the party catered. Unless you want to spend the eve-• ning in and out of the kitchen, invest in catering. Guests of a late party won’t expect a three course meal. However, platters of sandwiches, appetizers and other little munch-ies will fit the bill. Remember, caterers may book up fast this time of year, so be sure to reserve service well in ad-vance of your party.Create a specialty drink. In addition to toasting cham-• pagne or sparkling wine, serve a specialty drink creation. This can be a beverage that ties into your color scheme or the theme of the party. Dessert drinks, such as chocolate martinis or vanilla cake-flavored vodka mixers, may be the right flavor for your affair. As the host, you should remember to provide non-alcoholic alternatives as well.Consider more substantial food after midnight. Encourage • guests to eat more and drink less once the clock has struck midnight. Casseroles and other baked dishes are easy to make in advance and have on hand. A breakfast buffet of pancakes, toast and omelets also will fill guests up with something more substantial than chips and dips.New Year’s Eve parties are a great way to reflect on the last
year and look forward to a new one, and hosts can take steps to make their parties memorable for all the right reasons.
