Elmentary school teachers hit the picket lines
LPS Teachers Begin Two-day Walkout with Music Elementary school teachers from Land O’Lakes and Clarendon Central Public Schools were on the picket lines in front of Granite Ridge Education Centre Tuesday morning in Sharbot Lake by Craig Bakay
T
eachers from Land O’Lakes and Clarendon Central Public Schools were on the “morning shift” of picketing at Granite Ridge Education Centre Tuesday morning in Sharbot Lake. “We opted for a more visible location,” said picket captain Danielle Harding. “The GREC elementary teachers will take the afternoon shift and we’ll switch shifts tomorrow (Wednesday).” Secondary teachers are scheduled to picket Thursday. Much like their secondary counterparts, class size is a huge issue for the elementary and intermediate teachers. “They (the Ministry of Education) want to remove all language involving class size,” Harding said. “That would have a big impact on special needs students, who don’t get the attention they need now.” They also don’t want to see changes to kindergarten programs and are deeply concerned about the Local Priority Funding program not being renewed. In the 2017 contract extension, $56 million was added to hire teachers and early

childhood educators so that class sizes could be reduced to a cap of 30 students in the first year in most full-day kindergarten the first year of the contract and 29 in the second. Also, that contract extension included funding resulting in a four-per-cent salary increase for teachers over two years. And while there is a 1 per cent salary increase on the table this time around, that’s not why the teachers are out picketing, Harding said. “It is a contract negotiation, so it’s in there, but it’s not what we’re fighting for,” she said. “We’ve already lost that increase from picketing days. “We would be the worst mathematicians ever if we were to strike over 1 per cent. “We want them to say they won’t change the kindergarten formula.” In all, they say cuts to education funding totalling $235 million will affect all students but particularly at-risk and special needs students. Harding said they’ve been bolstered by the support they’ve received, particularly from parents. “A lot of parents have dropped off treats . . . we like the treats,” she said. “Some have even dropped off non-perishable goods and we’ll see they get to the food bank.” There did seem to be a lot of public support Tuesday morning with a high percentage of passing cars honking. One driver, Dave Hansen in his red Ford F150, noticed a painting of Premier Doug Ford eating an apple on one of the picket signs, rolled down his window and called out: “Fords don’t last forever, you know.”

PS teacher Al MacDonald and some of his fellow Loughborough Public School teachers pulled together an ‘ad hoc’ musical group to entertain passers-by and SHS-across-the-road on Tuesday. And to keep up their own spirits on a chill, grey day when they would have much preferred to be inside with their classes. Never mind that the drummer had played drums only twice before and ‘Strike Pay’ as a group has no intent to take their show on the road: their music’s gleefully familiar, and the words are sharp and sassy. For example: “Pants on Fire” (thanks to Johnny Cash), and Sounds of Silence re-
written as “We Won’t Be Silent”: “And people honked and waved/to the neon signs we waved/ and the snow flew hard this morning/my face is frozen, frostbite forming/And the sign said the cuts hurting kids/ are gonna hurt for years/ Mr Buck-a-Beer/ And we won’t be silent.” Strike line teachers were unanimous in their dismay about the Provincial government’s intent to save money at the expense of children who need extra time and attention: “It’s not just the high needs children who will suffer; the whole classroom ends up not getting the best learning situation,” said one.
Townships have 10 months to find a new provider or take service in-house
Health Unit to back out of septic inspection business K
by Jeff Green
ingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington Public Health (KFL&A PH) sent a letter to Central Frontenac Council on January 30th, informing the township that as of January 1st, 2021, they will need to find a new provider for sewage inspection services for new construction. KFL&A PH provides sewage system inspection services, as outlined in part 8 of the Ontario Building Code Act, for the city of Kingston and the 8 municipalities in Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Counties. The program, which cost $566,000 to operate in 2019, is entirely funded out of permit fees. Public health inspectors work with developers and build-
ing departments to make sure that septic systems that are put in during new construction and renovations conform to the building code. This involves site visits before, and after, excavation work is done. However, it is not a program that most public health agencies in the province offer for their member municipalities. In the letter to Central Frontenac Township, Linda Murray, director of corporate services for KFL&A Public Health, said that in preparation for the public health modernisation program which is being undertaken by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, her agency is seeking to align itself to the services that are

Sharbot Lake criminal court report
Henderson man pleads guilty on weapons charge by Jeff Green
D
avid Sillars pled guilty to one charge of possession of a weapon while prohibited from doing so. A charge of mischief under $5,000 against him was dropped by the Crown. Two further charges under the hunting and fishing act will be dealt with at a later date. In terms of sentencing for the weapons related charge, a pre-sentence report will be prepared and Sillars will return on June 15 for sentencing. Mr. Sillars also has an appeal pending for a conviction in another jurisdiction, which is expected to take place in the fall of 2020, his lawyer said. “Once that date is set, which should be in the spring, we will be in a position to deal with the other charges in this court,” Sillars lawyer told Judge Griffin. In summarising the case, the Crown said that a neighbour of Sillars came upon him, on December 4th, 2019, on what they thought was their property. They saw that he was carrying a crossbow, with a scope on it. He apparently claimed he was using the crossbow to “play GI Joe” and not for hunting. The neighbour took a video at the scene. When police attended at Sillars’ home after the neighbour reported the incident to them, they found a crossbow, but it did not match the video. Sillars later called police and said he had the Crossbow that was in the video, but that it belonged to a friend and not him. Both Crossbows are in the possession of police at this time. Police have also determined that Sillars was not on the neighbour’s land when they met up, but on Crown land. Mr. Sillars was banned from obtaining or possessing weapons in 2007. The Crown proceeded summarily in the case, limiting the potential consequences.

Sasha Baillargeon, charged with failure to comply with a court order, which was to stay away from her mother, will return to court on March 16. Shelly Myers and Kathleen Vanalstine, both charged with ‘theft under $5,000’, will return on March 16. The hope is that they will both have satisfied the conditions of a diversion program by then and will have the charge
withdrawn. Dustin Sweet, and Suzy Wickens, both charge with possession of stolen property, will return on April 6, on the expectation that the principal defendant in the case, Dustin’s father Wayne, will have his case settled by then and the Sharbot Lake case will be able to proceed. Mark Thomas, charged with ‘failure to comply with court ordered conditions’, will return on April 6.

outh Frontenac Museum Society’s AGM at the museum in Hartington was well attended last Tuesday. Chair John McDougall began by drawing attention to pictures of two life members, Barb Stewart and Ken Brown and spoke in remembrance of Ron Paul, a member who passed away recently, saying that the bright, attractive museum hall owed a great deal

to Paul’s painstaking restoration work. Highlight of the meeting was guest speaker Rob Wood’s review of the new Strategic Plan he coordinated with help from museum members and community representatives. This plan will guide the organization’s focus and activities over the next three years, as it becomes a place that is fascinating to visitors and local residents, both children and adults. When it opens for the season in April, the museum will continue to feature Doug Lovegrove’s detailed WW1 display about the 146th battalion and the men and women

Swans form welcome party in Cloyne
H
SINCE 1970
aving recently returned to full time residency in the Cloyne area, after many years as a summer resident and having spent my youth living in the area, I was quite surprised to see for the first time, Trumpeter Swans swimming on the river. I believe this would be a sight any time of the year, but a shock to see three swans fly in, land, and spend the day ex-
ploring our little river in the winter. Our river, depending on which map you look at, is known as both "Little Marble" and the "Mississippi" and is located at the foot of the Mazinaw. The center has been open due to the current, only freezing after last night's -24°. We hope the river opens again soon and our visitors return. Christine Descarie,

by public health with the “Ontario Public Health Programs (OPHP)” that they run. “Sewage inspections do not fit that profile, as their legislative oversight comes from the “Ontario Building Core, not the OPHP” she wrote. The letter leaves no room for doubt. “We are providing you with notification of our intent to terminate our agreement to carry out the municipality’s responsibilities for sewage system … effective January 1, 2021.” Murray wrote that Sarah Ryding, from KFL&A PH, will be available to talk with township staff “to discuss the details of a transition plan”. When contacted on Tuesday (February 11), a spokesperson for KFL&A Public Health said that some municipalities in the province contract out the service to their

4.8%? Really?! This budget that CF administration presented to council did not leave me feeling as queasy as it did the mayor. The reason is because last year I did not agree with my property assessment from MPAC and filed a petition to have it reviewed. My property taxes were lowered considerably. It helped that I had a relatively recent appraisal of the house and property comparing it to similar dwellings and properties in the area. I urge taxpayers to take a long hard look at their MPAC Assessments and ask yourself, “if I sold my house today could I actually get the assessed value of my property?” If the answer is “ not a snowball’s chance” then perhaps you too are paying taxes that are not based on your actual property value. It may seem like a hassle to file forms and go through the steps for a reevaluation but the savings over time may be worth it. After seeing the “not a wish list” (the time to write to Santa has come and gone) I was impressed with the overall gall to expect us
to bear the cost of yet another list of exaggerated funding. $13 000 for a social media consultant? How many young people nowadays are on some form of social media every day? I doubt that they needed $13 000 for training to be connected. Do you expect us to believe that no one in the office is capable of using social media at this point in time? What ever happened to the proposal for the $900 000 expansion to the TWP office that would include a new meeting place for council (as all of the TWP owned and maintained halls are suitable for only residents and groups)? Why not throw in a new throne made of 1000 melted swords? If the cost is to be born on the backs of the taxpayers, why not? I will stand on my hind legs and do all that I can to keep my hard earned money in my own pocket. I urge others to do the same. As the saying goes, “if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything”. Janice Teeple
local Conservation Authorities, while others run the service themselves, either by employing outside contractors or township employees. The spokesperson also confirmed that every jurisdiction in the KFL&A catchment area, including the separated City of Kingston, has been sent a similar letter to the one that was sent to Central Frontenac on January 30th. Public Health will attempt to avoid any staff layoffs as the result of the change, if at all possible. KFL&A PH has contemplated getting out of the septic inspection business before. In 2009, they informed the municipalities that they serve, of their intention to close the septic inspection office, noting that it was not a core business and that the person who had been over-seeing the program for them was retiring. Pressure from the municipalities who use the service led to a change of heart. Not only was the program maintained but KFL&A PH offered to provide re-in-
spection services to townships, such as those in Frontenac County, who had become concerned about the impact that older systems may be having on water quality, particularly older systems on lakeside properties. But it was the Mississippi-Rideau septic office, which is jointly operated by the Mississippi and Rideau Valley Conservation Authorities, who ended up being contracted to provide re-inspection services for older systems for both Central and North Frontenac. Central Frontenac recently brought about a mandatory re-inspection system, which is being run by the. The Mississippi-Rideau septic office also provides the part 8 building code inspections, for new systems, to Tay Valley Township and may be in a position to do the same for the other townships within the

Loughborough residents have their say at Town Hall meeting by Craig Bakay
A
bout 30 residents attending the Town Hall meeting in Perth Road Village last Saturday. The event was organized by the two South Frontenac Council members representing Loughborough District — Coun. Randy Ruttan and Dep. Mayor Ross Sutherland. “This is an opportunity to hear your concerns,” Sutherland said. “Everything is on the table.” “I don’t pretend to know what your concerns are but I know what mine are,” Ruttan said. “I ran for Council because some things bother me.” First up was the concept of having a property standards bylaw instead of a safe properties bylaw. “Who’s going to decide what is junk?” was one comment. “There have been property standards bylaws that prevented people from having gardens in their front yards that were
struck down in courts,” Sutherland said. Other comments included that such bylaws tend to pit neighbour against neighbour, tend to be expensive to enforce, “you can’t apply city standards to rural settings,” to one resident offering to take neighbours’ junk to the dump in his pickup. That conversation morphed into a septic inspection program. Ruttan suggested residents be required to prove they’ve had their septics pumped out every five years or so. Another resident was annoyed that “people are dumping garbage on my farm . . . and growing marijuana on it.” It wasn’t all complaints and/or new rules suggestions however. One resident was “very proud to see the involvement in conservancy in our area.” Access to high speed internet and cell phone coverage was a huge issue for residents in the Buck Lake area.
Although somewhat lightly attended, the Loughborough District Town Hall featured some lively debate Saturday in Perth Road Village
Some Perth Road residents were interested to know what were the next steps with the firehall, along with concerns about increased commerial traffic on Perth
Road. Others were annoyed that there was no available access to the Point Park docks on Canada Day.
Council to consider transfer site when Oso dump closes by Craig Bakay
T
he future of the Oso dump is back on the table pending more information after Central Frontenac Council’s regular meeting Tuesday evening in Sharbot Lake. Public Works Manager Tyson Myers’ report recommended the landfill simply be closed when its life runs out in about four years. “If we opt to just close it in four years, is there an option to reconsider down the road?” asked Coun. Bill MacDonald. “There are a lot of strong feelings out there. “We have to look at a transfer station.” “I’m reporting on a cost basis only,” Myers said. “I need you guys’ feedback on the politics of it.” Meyers said. The estimated total closure cost in year 1 is $440,000.
If it were to be operated as a transfer station, the cost would be $525,000 for a seasonally (summer) operated site or $540,000 to operate year round, Meyers said in his report. Either way, he said, the consultants overseeing the shut down need to know now, as the requirements for either type of change are quite different. “I can’t agree with that option (total closure),” said Coun. Nicki Gowdy. “People in Arden are still bitter about their site being closed down and this would cause a lot of hard feelings.” In 2019, there were on average 51 vehicles per day at Oso, 56 vehicles per day at Olden and 28 at Hinchinbrooke. About 60 per cent of the total traffic at Oso is from May 1 to Nov. 1.
Happy New Year from Smitty's Appliances 46 Years & Still Going Strong! & His Friendly Staff
Coun. Sherry Whan asked if an incinerator was an option and Dep. Mayor Tom Dewey asked if mining the site for scrap metal had been explored. Meyers said he’d come back to the next Council meeting with answers to those questions. “I too have concerns with totally closing it (as opposed to making Oso a transfer station),” said Mayor Frances Smith. “With 40 per cent of the people using it, if you come from the far end of the Township, Mountain Grove can be a long drive.”
Red grant application
Council approved a plan to apply for Provincial Rural Economic Development Program funding to piggyback on the Townships roadwork plans for Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake. The plan would result in direct physical improvement connected to Elizabeth Street renewal such as public art, streetscaping and signage. If successful, this would provide for a $100,000 budget with $50,000 coming from the RED program, $43,000 coming from the Township, $2,000 and staff support coming from Frontenac County and $5,000 from the Sharbot Lake Business Group Inc.

‘Historical’ benches brought back to life at Prince Charles Public School by Craig Bakay
t the end of the day, they may be just benches, but to some people, they mean a little more than that. So when students from Prince Charles Public School in Verona came to Atkinson Home Hardware in Hartington for paint and supplies to fix them as part of Brian Grigg’s 6/7 shop class, they expected to pay with funds set aside from Parents School Council fundraisers. But Wendy Rose wouldn’t hear of it. You see, Rose was a student at Prince Charles and remembers those benches well. Not only did she arrange for a donation, she went to the trouble of colour-matching the paint so it would be the actual Prince Charles colours. “They (the benches) were sky blue but we thought it might be a good idea to have have them in the school colours (green and yellow),” she said. “I got the colours from the “P” in Prince Charles. “I remember them well, they were used for all sorts of things — choir, school photos, even as boards for floor hockey.” “They had become a backdrop but now they’re a centrepiece,” said Principal Peter Mouncey.
A
He said real-life projects like this give students an education they can’t get from more theoretical teaching. “The emphasis is on problem-solving — from a practical standpoint,” Mouncey said. “They have to figure out what tools they need, how to do a lot of measuring and such. “They thought it was going to be simple once they started looking at it, some of the boards were in bad shape and we had to remove two cups of screws.” That aspect wasn’t lost on the students. “We were going to try to use the same tops and sides but we couldn’t for all of them,” said Jason Rose. “Our top was too small so we had to cut down one end and move the legs.” “And I didn’t expect all the sanding we had to do,” said Sydney Leonard. “We had to sand for painted and the corners had to be rounded off so people wouldn’t injure themselves if they bumped into them.” “The painting was fun but I didn’t know about all the sizes of sandpaper,” said Maddy Bruschette, whose dad Norm runs MB Carpentry and helped out, mostly in the background. “He did the big cuts and double
checked measuring. “I enjoyed the project, especially learning how to use a drill.” Rose said the students did most of the work. “Mr. Grigg comes over and shows you how to do it,” he said. “So then you can do it. “Now they won’t have to be rebuilt a hundred times.” So, what’s next for the Prince Charles shop class? Actually Rose has a suggestion. “When I was going here, there was a white picket fence out front,” she said. “I have a few pallets of picket fences in my yard.”

Randolph John McCullough February 16/2018 In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle “Randy” Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only we could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause us pain. But you’re forever in our hearts, until we meet again. Stephen & Polly & Family

• It was fun and games with Pam on Wednesday morning at Forget Me Nots. It all had to do with Valentine’s Day.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS
What’s Up in the Night Sky? – February 2020 I ’ve always wondered how a galaxy could be more than 27 billion light years from Earth when the universe is roughly only 13.7 billion years old. A light year is considered a unit of distance and indicates how far you can go in one year at the speed of light (about 9 trillion kilometers). It doesn’t seem right that something 27 million light years away can be that distance when it has had only 13.7 billion years to go that far. Actually there are 2 reasons that explain this seeming inconsistency. One

reason is that the universe is not fixed in size in space. The universe is expanding and, as I mentioned in a previous column, it is increasing its rate of expansion as time passes. Over time, the galaxies are moving away from each other as space expands. Yes, galaxies collide but these are localized phenomena that occur when they are near enough for their respective gravitational fields to interact and attract each other. The second reason is that a galaxy 27 light years away is not being directly measured. We are seeing light from that galaxy that is ancient. Its light has been traveling for billions of years through the universe. When the universe was younger, the universe was smaller and that light had a shorter path to travel. It only took a few billion years to reach us. In the mean time, the uni-

verse has expanded. The distance between that galaxy and us is much more. So much so that if that light were to make the trip today, it would take 27 billion years to reach us and would not be observable. Astronomers, with the understanding of the changing nature of the universe, can predict that that 27 billion light year distance is based on light that set out long, long ago. It’s that time of year for the Zodiacal light! Its cone shaped glow will be best viewable above the western horizon from mid February through early March after twilight has faded. The triangular shape of the light, with its apex pointed towards the zenith, is caused by the debris disk of our solar system. Its radiance is light glinting off of that cloud of particles. The disk of dust ranges through the inner solar sys-

tem and extends out from the Sun to the orbit of Jupiter. The debris originates from comets and material thrown off by asteroid collisions. The dust particles have a size range from about a few micrometers to a few centimeters. The debris mainly orbits in the ecliptic plane – the plane in which the planets travel around the solar system. Therefore the best time to observe its glow is when the axis of the Earth’s rotation is tilted at a maximum to the ecliptic plane. This occurs around the time of the spring and autumnal equinoxes. At the spring equinox (February-March), it will appear about an hour after sunset on the western horizon. At the time of the autumnal equinox (September-October), it will present itself before dawn on the eastern horizon. Ancient astronomers called it the ‘wings of the morning’ because when it appeared in the fall at sunrise, it signaled the dawn. The best time to view the Zodiacal light is an hour or 2 after the Sun has gone down. Find yourself a nice dark site when the Moon isn’t around. Dress warmly (need I say), let your eyes get dark adjusted and look to the west. In the evening sky this month Mercury can be seen in the west and bright Venus is hard to miss in the west as well. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be made out in the southwest in the early morning. They are an exceptionally fine sight about an hour before sunrise on February 29th about 10 to 15 degrees above the horizon. Just before dawn on the 18th, a thin crescent Moon passes in front of Mars. Monthly Highlights: All Month: Zodiacal Light. Feb. 15th: Last quarter Moon. Feb. 18th: The Moon passes about a degree north of the Mars. Feb. 19th: The Moon passes about a degree south of Jupiter. Feb. 20th: The Moon passes about 2 degrees south of Saturn. Feb. 23rd: New Moon. Feb. 26th: The Moon is at apogee (farthest from the Earth) – 403,920 kilometers. Feb. 27th: The Moon passes 6 degrees south of Venus. Feb. 29th: Mars, Jupiter and Saturn make a beautiful display above the southwestern horizon about an hour before sunrise. That’s a wrap. Keep looking up! And don’t forget Jupiter and her dancing moons – Callisto, Io, Europa and Ganymede in the early morning! “The Beginner’s Observing Guide by Leo Enright is an invaluable companion for adventures in the sky. It also contains useful star charts. It can be ordered from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada at www.rasc.ca/publications. A subscription to our very own excellent Canadian astronomy magazine “SkyNews” can be arranged at the RASC website as well.

Danger on township roads
J
ust wanted to tell people about what happened last Friday January 31 on 509 highway. My daughter was driving south at about 6 in the evening and just after Bell Line there was 2 temporary sign bases on the road. She could not help but hit one damaging the tire and rim. Stuck on the side of the road she called dad and I went up to change tire. . Assuming these fell off the back of someone's truck would be nice if people were more responsible. Cost a tire and rim for us could have been much worse. Just wanted to let you know and your readers that it's hard enough to avoid wildlife at night on roads around here looks like have to avoid unnecessary articles dropping on road too. Dave Parks

North Frontenac Council - February 7
Thanks but no thanks, to offer to pay for Official Plan amendment
by Craig Bakay hile appreciative of the offer, North Frontenac Council declined a group of property owners suggestion that the owners would pay to amend Frontenac County’s Official Plan at its regular meeting last Friday in Plevna. In a letter to Council Jan. 28, resident Steve Dunham wrote: “I was pleased to see general agreement on Council regarding the need for the County to change this un-

reasonable OP provision (treating regional Areas of Natural or Scientific Interest as Provincial ANSIs). The reason for not proceeding with the request appeared to be the cost was to wait 1 ½ years until the next scheduled OP review at the County. “I represent a large number of private property owners impacted by the current County ANSI provisions and we find the restrictions on our private properties for that period of time is unreasonable and unacceptable. “In order to assist the Township to move forwards on the OP request promptly, our group of property owners are offering to compensate the Township for the $750 fee associated with the OP amendment request. Please advise if Council finds this acceptable and I will ensure payment is provided promptly.” “These people have been waiting a long time,” said Coun. Vern Hermer. However, Clerk-Planning Manager Tara Mieske said that if the Township were to initiate such a request, the County would “require a study as to why we want the change.” She also said that such a study would likely raise the overall cost to the $1,750 range and that in all likelihood the actual change wouldn’t happen before the scheduled OP review anyway. “The County already has two resolutions on this from
this Council,” said Mayor Ron Higgins. “To me, the process would still take 18 months,” said Coun. John Inglis. “The County Planner acts like this (ANSI restrictions) is cast in stone, (and) I don’t trust him (to act on such a request in a timely manner),” said Dep. Mayor Gerry Martin. “And County Council listens to him,” said Inglis. “And if we go ahead, it will be more work for our staff, which we’ve said we’re trying to not add to,” said Higgins. “We’re here to represent the residents,” said Hermer. “Somebody dropped the ball way back when.” “I’m not sure spending money is representing,” said Higgins. “I don’t wan to take their money.” “We’ve spent more for a lot less,” said Hermer. Higgins said he and Martin would bring the matter up at the next County Council meeting and try to get a feel for “their feeling on removing regional ANSIs. “God save us if we get a lot of rain, they’re going to make everything a wetland,” said Hermer.

"Gem" of a comedy set in the Emerald Isle to shine in Sharbot Lake submitted by North Frotneac Little Theare orth Frontenac Little Theatre is bringing a touch of the Irish to the area as it holds auditions for the North American Premiere of the award-winning drama, Ciara's Coming Home, written by international author and playwright, Glenys O'Connell. The play, will be staged in late April and early May at Oso Hall, Sharbot Lake, and the production will celebrate the theatre group's fifth decade in operation. Auditions for aspiring actors between the ages of 11 & 60 years will be held on February 18 & 19 at Oso Hall (see details on page ...) and candidates with no prior acting experience as well as seasoned thespians are welcome, said Director, Adrian O'Connell. The play reveals with hilarious unpredictability, the chaos that ensues when a young, New York-based Irishwoman suddenly de-
N
cides to pay a return visit to her rural Irish farm family home in the year 2004. The play was penned by Arden resident, Glenys O'Connell, while she and her husband, Adrian, were on sabbatical in Ireland in the early 2000s and was staged in five regional theatres throughout Ireland at the time, picking up several awards along the way. Subsequently, after the couple returned to Canada in 2007, the comedy won first prize for original drama in North America in a contest jointly sponsored by the Government of Ireland and the North American Gaelteacht (Irish language) Association, based in Ottawa. Said NFLT President, Pamela Giroux "We're really delighted to be able to present this play in the spring. I read the script and I just loved it. It's a real gem.” Rehearsals for Ciara's Coming Home will take place at Oso Hall throughout March
and April, said Director, Adrian O'Connell, adding that the play presented a great opportunity for people who'd always wanted to act but never gotten round to it. "Many people who have described themselves as basically shy, including, famously, the late Hollywood idol, Kirk Douglas, have gone on record over time, to say
how performing on stage changed their lives for ever, making them far more confident about themselves and able to speak in public without fear," said O'Connell, adding that he himself had learned a great deal from professional directors who had worked on plays in Ireland, including those written by his wife, Glenys.
Continued from page 10 there’s an assignment nobody wants, you’ll get drafted. Fowler wasn’t at Friday’s meeting and sure enough, he was voted in to be the Township’s representative at Solicitor General Sylvia Jones’ OPP reasonable roundtable sessions. Of course there were the expected comments about how he’d be the man for the job because of his background in law enforcement.
Road allowances
Council discussed ending the practice of selling off road allowances that lead to water in a future bylaw. “I’m against selling access to water,” said Coun. Vern Hermer. “And we’ve been doing it for years,” said Mayor Ron Higgins. “I’ve been trying to get access to the Mississippi River for years but we’ve sold off all of those,” said Dep. Mayor Gerry Martin. “It was a mistake.”

Frontenac Park in winter
The above picture was taken by Simon Smith, who has been visting and volunteering at Frontenac Park for 34 years. It was taken during the Christmas Bird Count at the park in December, and was posted by Carolyn Bonta, the co-ordinator for the Frontenac Park Count, on Twitter this week. It was taken in the vicinity of the Kingsford Dam, and the figure on the far right is Steve Blight of Crow Lake. We thought our readers might enjoy a reminder of how beautiful winter can be as we hit the February Blues time of year. Good news is, syrup season could be just around the corner.
Family Day in South Frontenac
F
amily Day at the Frontenac Community Arena grounds has become the largest gathering of people from across South Frontenac each year. Unlike Canada Day, which is a local community celebration. “One of the things I love most about Family Day is that it is a township wide event,” said Amanda Pantrey, one of the organisers of this year’s celebration of the winter season. This year’s event features all of the activities that have made Family Day popular, including horse drawn wagon rides, a winter obstacle course, Scandinavian kick
sledding, snowshoe races, free skating in the arena, games, a free BBQ courtesy of the township, and free milk courtesy of the Frontenac Dairy Producers. As an added bonus this year, many local businesses have donated items for a prize basket that will be raffled off at the end of the day. There is no charge to enter the raffle, entrants just need to sign in to get a ticket. And at 3pm, the South Frontenac Stocksport club will be doing an Ice-stock demonstration in the arena. It will be both a demonstration and an opportunity to try out the sport (bring ice grippers if you can).
It all kicks off at 11am on Monday, the 17th. Come early or be prepared to park along the road as the parking lot fills up early.
The Frontenac Arena is located in Piccadilly, at 4299 Arena Boundary Road, halfway between Verona and Godfrey.
