Water quality concerns dominate AGM
by Julie Druker ocusing on community improvements in Sharbot Lake village while ignoring the water quality of the lake is like putting lipstick on a pig”, said one member of the SLPOA at the recent Sharbot Lake Property Owners Association annual general meeting, which was held at Oso hall on July 21. The comment came following an address by Mayor Janet Gutowski who spoke of the township’s voluntary septic re-inspections program, which was completed on the lake’s west basin in 2011. Of the 85 systems inspected at that time, 21 were found to be well maintained while 58 required remedial work; one needed full replacement and the remaining few either required more information or other basic work. The program was suspended this year due to the changeover of building staff at the township, but will resume in 2013 on the west basin of Sharbot Lake. In a straw vote, the vast majority of association members indicated that only a mandatory inspection system will bring the results they think the lake needs. Gutowski responded that mandatory re-inspections would be difficult to legislate through council since it was not popular with some voters. She added, however, that she felt mandatory re-inspections would be legislated in the next few years by the province. For many SLPOA members that time will not come soon enough, because the water quality of the lake has been steadily on the decline. In his presentation, Kevin Browne, environmental coordinator with the SLPOA, talked about a rapid decline in water quality of Sharbot Lake over the last five years. Though it improved dramatically since the mid 1970s and was at its best between 2001 and 2006, the numbers Browne cited in a Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) study pointed to a decline since 2006. Browne said the reasons include climate factors and the fact that more people are now living full time on the lake, negatively affecting the shoreline’s ribbon of life and increasing the number of septic systems and gray water systems on the lake. Though water clarity is improving as a result of the appearance of zebra mussels in the last few years, phosphorous levels, which negatively affect the quality of the water, have increased dramatically in the last five years. Data collected through the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority’s Watershed Watch Report shows that levels of phosphorus in the lake’s east and west basins are at or approaching what is called an eutrophic, or enriched level, with high levels nutrients available for plant growth. Discussing those levels with Susan Lee of the MVCA, it turns out they are not that clear cut. MVCA does a Watershed Watch report for each lake in the Mississippi Valley Watershed every five years. While it is the case that the phosphorous level at lake bottom on the west basin of Sharbot Lake, which is the cold water basin, jumped from 10.4 in 2006 to 22.3 in 2011, the east basin level dropped from the very high SLPOA President Carol Coupland presenting the Lake level 36.1 in 2006 to 20 in 2011. Plan update Provincial standards define levels of 20 or more as eutrophic “We tend to look at the long-term trends,” said Lee, “so if there is a high reading in one study, we look five years later to see if the reading is still high. It is is more of a concern if the numbers don’t settle,” she said.
“F
Joy to the fishes in the deep green lake. Nigel Waltho, a biologist at Carleton University who specialises in the Caribbean Sea, has a property on Sharbot Lake. He took some underwater photos earler this summer on the lake, including the one reproduced above. A quick scan of Watershed Watch reports along the Mississippi watershed reveals that a number of lakes tend to have very low phosphorous levels historically and in recent reports, while others are high, much higher than Sharbot Lake. For example, the phosphorous levels in Crotch and Palmerston Lakes have always been under 10, whereas Patterson, Dalhousie and Mississippi Lakes sit at 30 or more, and have done so for as long as testing has taken place. “Some lakes are naturally higher in phosphorous, than others, even without the impact of human activity,” said Lee.
Increased algae blooms in Sharbot Lake this year have made swimming sometimes unpleasant and even impossible in certain areas of the lake, according to Kevin Browne, an observation that was confirmed by a number of people at the meeting, and that is why phosphorous levels are being looked at. Susan Lee said that the low water levels and warm weather this year and last would tend to increase the concentration of nutrients and lead to more algae blooms as well in phosphorous enriched lakes. Kevin Browne also presented the results of a Loon Survey that SLPOA has sponsored.
The study showed that loon populations have become increasingly at risk and have declined, possibly due to low water levels and increased boat traffic on the lake. Both of those factors can have a huge impact on loon nests, which are built very close to the water’s edge. Low water levels mean that loons can have trouble reaching their nests and their young, and large boat wakes can often swamp the nests. Statistics from the Loon Survey completed in the east basin by volunteers showed that since 2006 the number of breeding pairs of loons increased from 6 to 14 and the number of chicks went from 1 to 3. However in 2011 the survey recorded just five breeding pairs with no surviving chicks at all. Browne asked for volunteers to construct loon nesting platforms on the lake and also wanted to see the erection of “NO WAKE” signs for boaters. On a more positive note, SLPOA president Carol Coupland presented an update of the SLPOA Lake Plan, which aims to provide information to residents and the township to aid the latter in making sustainable development and planning decisions with regard to lake health. The four-year plan aims to gather and analyze data, and Coupland reported it is on track for this year, year one.
Another chance to raise the flag
F
rontenac County and Sharbot Lake have another chance for reflected glory this week, when triathlete Simon Whitfield carries the flag into the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in London at the head of the Canadian team. It might not be apparent to the billion plus people who watch the ceremonies, but Simon Whitfield got his start in the triathlon in Sharbot Lake. In between 1987 and 1992, he participated in the Kids of Steel triathlons that were offered as a part of the Sharbot Lake Triathlon, events that were organized by Joan and Rudy Hollywood and friends. While he was an enthusiastic triathlete, Simon Whitfield was not the fastest in Sharbot Lake in those early years. In 1990 he finished 7th in his age group, but by 1992 he was the top 15 to 16-year-old at the event. In 1996, at the age of 21, he returned to race in the adult race, and he won in a time of 1:35.12, which was a fast time, but it was 43 seconds slower than the meet’s record time, which was set by Rob Campbell in 1992. Four years later, Whitfield was the surprise winner of the inaugural Olympic Triathlon in Sydney, Australia. That victory, and the fact that he mentioned Sharbot Lake and the Kids of Steel in interviews after winning the race, were motivation enough for the Hollywood family and Central Frontenac Township to mount a plaque in his honour on a piece of granite that is now located at the Sharbot Lake beach, the start and finish line for the Sharbot Lake Triathlon. Whitfield has subsequently competed in two other Olympiads, finishing 11th in 2004 in Athens, and cementing his place in Canadian sports history with a dramatic silver medal winning performance in Beijing in 2008.

in his fourth Olympic games, still an elite Olympic level triathlete at the age of 37, Simon Whitfield was a popular choice as flag bearer for the Canadian team in London. As for his medal chances, they might seem slim since he is currently ranked 33rd in the world, but in this year’s World Cup rankings he was the 13th ranked athlete. He has the best record of any Olympic Tri-athlete. Bevan Docherty, of New Zealand, is the only other Olympic triathlete to have won more than one medal (silver in 2004 and bronze in 2008)
Back in August of 2001, politicians Leona Dombrowsky and Bill MacDonald unveiled the plaque marking Simon Whitfield’s Sharbot Lake connection. Ken Hollywood, back row centre, found the granite stone that the plaque is affixed to. (file photo)

MNR urges “common sense approach” on ratsnake and other notes from Frontenac County, including something a bit fishy
T
he Frontenac Axis Grey Ratsnake provisions have been added to the Ontario Species at Risk Act. But, as Frontenac County Planner Joe Gallivan indicated at a meeting of Frontenac County Council on Tuesday, July 24, planning departments in the affected townships, which include Central and South Frontenac and Tay Valley, will use the new regulations “as a screening tool for planning applications, and not a prohibited development area.” The mere fact that suitable habitat for grey ratsnakes is present in a certain location will not necessarily trigger any restrictions on development, nor will a ratsnake sighting. Active nesting grounds, on the other hand, may be subject to restrictions and the rare sites that are known as hibernacula - places where there is confirmation that snakes over-winter in groups - will be subject to more stringent restrictions. There is a 30 metre buffer zone around permanent nesting sites and a 150 metre zone around hibernacula. “Officials with the ministry have told me that it is very rare that hibernacula for grey ratsnakes are identified, but they are important to the survival of the species” said Joe Gallivan. Temporary nesting sites, such as man-made nesting sites, are not subject to the same level of restrictions as permanent nesting sites are. Gallivan also said that mapping of grey ratsnake habitat

and known nesting and hibernacula locations may be provided to township or county planning departments for their use, but that as with other information about species at risk, that information is not made available to the general public. The reason for this is that these sites are important to the survival of the species and making them public might run counter to that intention. The ratsnake, which is Ontario’s largest snake, is the subject of a public information event that is being sponsored by the Frontenac Stewardship Council tonight at the Verona Lions Hall (see Northern Happenings on page 10). Speakers will include Tim Wood and Kate Pitt with the Ministry of Natural Resources. The event will include general information about the snakes as well as an overview of the new regulation. Fairmount Auditorium redevelopment steps forward Two items on this week’s Frontenac County Council agenda concerned the Fairmount Home Auditorium. While county council approved a mere $20,000 expenditure for architectural drawings and cost estimates for a project that will likely cost $2 million or more, it was also decided that the project will be central to an application for matching funding from a federal infrastructure grant as well. The Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund will provide almost $50 million in grants to public infrastructure improvement projects in Ontario. Frontenac County is applying for $1 million towards the Fairmount Auditorium project, with $200,000 slated to come from fundraising and $800,000 from the County and the City of Kingston. County CAO Liz Savill said that while Kingston City Council has not yet been informed of the project, senior administration is “thrilled” that the county is seeking federal money to upgrade the shared county-city infrastructure. If the grant is approved the estimated cost to the county would be $320,000 but according to a staff report, that figure would be offset by the fundraising dollars. In discussing the auditorium project, North Frontenac Mayor Bud Clayton wondered why the project is pushing ahead when “two successive councils have said no to the project.” South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison took a different view. “We’ve always felt that something should be done about it, but it has been a question of money. If we can get

50% funding, then we should go ahead. The auditorium is in need of repair.” Warden Gutowski, and Councilors John Purdon and John McDougall all expressed support for Mayor Davison’s position. With Mayor Davison carrying two votes on council, the redevelopment project now appears to enjoy majority support on Council. In the end, council approved both the application for a $1 million grant and the $20,000 expenditure on architectural drawings Ompah project terminated – At a special meeting of North Frontenac Council on Monday, July 24, a bylaw was passed terminating the agreement between North Frontenac and Frontenac County to build a joint ambulance base and fire hall in Ompah. A similar bylaw was passed at Frontenac County Council on Tuesday. “We’ll have to let the dust settle, and then revisit our ambulance base plans,” said Warden Gutowski.

County Council continued from pg 2
Gone fishing – Frontenac Islands Mayor Dennis Doyle raised a question about the county’s procedural bylaw because the warden unilaterally postponed the regular meeting of council. The meeting, which was originally scheduled for July 18 (the third Wednesday of the month), ended up being put off until this week, forcing Doyle to change his schedule because his colleague from the Islands, David Jones, was not available. South Frontenac Mayor Davison said, “I was the one who facilitated that. I was given an opportunity for a fly-in fishing trip, and I took it. I think we still have a gentleman’s agreement that if two members are not available the meeting would be cancelled,

and John [McDougall - the other South Frontenac representative] had already said he would be away.” “I don’t see how this fits SINCE our1970procedural bylaw. I had to change my schedule just to be here today. Councilor Jones [the other Frontenac Islands rep] couldn’t change his schedule. Why is that?” asked Doyle. “We should at least have been polled about this.” “In this case, I made the call,” said Warden Gutowski. “I am aware it isn’t in the procedural bylaw, but we don’t always apply the letter of the bylaw. However, I was not comfortable doing it and I’m not sure I would do it in the future. We might want to reconsider our procedural bylaw to give clear direction on this kind of situation.” (See – “I’d rather be fishing, too”) August meeting cancelled – The council meeting scheduled for August 15 has been cancelled, as is customary.
Commentary
I’d rather be fishing, too
by Jeff Green et’s see. You have a chance to go lake trout fishing, and maybe fish for arctic grayling as well, at a remote, fly-in location on Great Slave Lake in the middle of the Arctic summer, or you can go to a Frontenac County Council meeting. I wonder what I would do? No, I don’t wonder what I would do. Were I mayor of South Frontenac or the Queen of England, I’d be out on the lake in a flash. I’ve been on Great Slave Lake in July (a long time ago) and I’ve been at county council meetings in July (more recently), and I can attest to the fact that Great Slave Lake is an infinitely better place to be in July. That said, I think Gary Davison made an error. Not in going fishing, but in asking county council to re-schedule their meeting just because a representative from South Frontenac could not be present. It’s not as if there was anything on the agenda that put his township at risk. And it’s not as if the rest of county council were likely to take advantage of the lack of representation from South Frontenac to act against

the township’s interests. As long as council has a quorum, they should meet. The budget is in place; nothing can happen that has not been approved in that budget; and while Davison had a compelling reason not to be at the meeting, he did not have grounds to ask anyone else to change their own plans. If he had to miss the meeting because of a sudden illness, or family crisis, or the weather, maybe then re-scheduling would be viable, but since he had this last-minute trip dangling in front of him as a sort of bait, he should have said, “You guys go ahead and meet; I’m going fishing.”

Letter to the editor neighbours’ property values? If you live in Property standards the country with no close neighbours the
O
ne group says they have the right to do whatever they want with their property. Another group says people don't have the right to allow their property to deteriorate to the point where the esthetics negatively impact tourism, the ability to attract new residents and businesses, and impact neighbours’ property values. Neither side is unreasonable. Surely there is common ground here? Also complicating the issue is whether there is a gap between the current bylaw that stresses health and safety and 'esthetics'. The health and safety aspect is often referred to as risk of fire or accident. It deals with rubbish, debris, long grass, timber, scrap material, buildings and fences. The scrap material clause even mentions 'unsightly conditions'. So the basic question is, does the health and safety aspect limit the ability of the township to address properties that impact tourism, new residents and businesses, and neighbours’ property values? We're not sure. Perhaps what is needed is the township to tell us if there is a gap and provide examples and pictures of what is enforceable under each clause of the existing bylaw and what isn't. If there is a gap I think tweaking the existing bylaw is all that is needed. Perhaps add 'unsightly conditions' to all the clauses since it's in one already. We need to quit hiding behind health and safety and acknowledge the people's real concern - 'esthetics'. Can the existing bylaw not simply be extended to say that it always applies to health and safety concerns but may also apply to properties where the esthetics negatively impact tourism, the ability to attract new residents and businesses, and
bylaw doesn't apply, as there is no impact. However if the property is in downtown Sharbot Lake or some other built up community then it is more likely that the property may be impacting the three areas. If we do not acknowledge that those three areas are important then we take the wind out of the sails of all the individuals and volunteers who are working hard to make our township more attractive to tourists, individuals and business. We all benefit from the economics if we are successful. It is easy to lose a good reputation and hard to build one. We need the township council and staff to be leaders and display their skill at communication and facilitation; to find and convey that middle ground so we as a township of neighbours can make the right decision. Otherwise there will be passionate debate on both sides and at the end of day we will get the status quo – which isn't acceptable to many, as that is how this got started in the first place. Township council, staff, it is your time to shine, or not. Art Dunham

There has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin®) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects.

“Two separate engineering reviews were conducted with the finding that due to an extremely large geographic region, larger than some European countries, and unfriendly topographical terrain, factors were against us,” said Bob Taylor, the former President of AFAR. “A couple of times we thought we had attained a workable solution only to find extraneous factors had scuttled our best laid plans and efforts. It was like buying a car, affording the payments and having the skills to drive it, but in the end having no road to drive it on.” Rapidly changing technology, such as social media and Internet streaming, were also factors.

Meet Verona's new postmaster by Julie Druker
With over 27 years of experience under her belt as the former assistant postmaster in Odessa, Sherry Whan recently landed the job as Verona's new fulltime postmaster. Sherry has already comfortably settled in her to her new digs and is quickly learning the names of her new clients. “It's been wonderful so far; people are being very helpful and friendly and the staff here are just great,” she said. Sherry still resides in rural Odessa with her husband and three sons and said the biggest change for her is the halfhour commute she now has to make to Verona every day. That and the fact that though the Verona outlet carries about the same volume of mail as Odessa, there are about three times the number of businesses in Verona as compared to Odessa. The similarities between the Verona and Odessa post offices are many. Both buildings were constructed at roughly the same time, in the mid-1960s, so the layouts are similar, which makes things more straightforward for Whan. Also, all of the procedures are the same. Sherry Whan has a big job in learning all the names and then putting those names to faces, but she seems up for the challenge, and judging by her friendly face, welcoming smile and outgoing nature, it looks as though Verona has gained a most capable new employee who seems very willing to serve Verona BUSINESS CARDand SIZEthe surrounding community. t rn No Bu d, ey! oo n W Mo

Corvus and Me
by Joelle Hubner-McLean
reviewed by Jeff Green orvus and Me is a coming of age tale about a girl in her early teens named Janine. The story has a familiar set up. Janine bumps her head while sledding with her younger sister and the story takes place while she is unconscious. However, unlike the scenario in “The Wizard of Oz”, for example, Janine knows what is going on, and the story is not so much about Janine wanting to get home, or to wake up, as it is a quest/journey tale. Janine is given a task, and an ally, a crow called Corvus, to help her complete it. The twists and turns along the way bring Corvus and Janine to talking trees, evil phantoms, all in a quest to reach the Snow Queen in time to save the animals in the wood from a winter that is overwhelming them with storms. Throughout all the plot’s twists, the key relationship is between Corvus and Janine, and the most important question to be resolved is whether Janine can overcome not only physical but psychological obstacles. Corvus and Me does not talk about bullying at all, but Janine is clearly someone who has something in her real life past that she must overcome; something that makes her feel she is an outsider, something that cuts into her innate feeling of self worth. As much as anything else, Corvus and Me is about overcoming fear. Corvus and Me is Mclean’s first book, and while it is set in the character Janine’s imagination, the world she inhabits and the characters that she meets are presented as more than just imaginary figments. The feeling that pervades the book, and the conclusion as well, is that Janine entered an alternative world when she was injured, but that world is not her world. She faces the same kinds of barriers and challenges that she finds when she wakes up. Ultimately, Corvus and Me is an adventure story with a psychological and environmental twist, and it is meant to be the first of a series that will follow these characters into future adventures. Joelle Hubner McLean has recently moved from Oshawa to Snow Road, where she has had a seasonal home for 10 years. Corvus and Me is available at Corvusandme.com.

Tons of hazardous waste diverted from CF land fill N
NF Essential Services Fair T
by Julie Druker
ow in its fifth year, Central Frontenac's annual Household Hazardous Waste Day continues to gain in momentum as more and more year-round and seasonal residents take the opportunity to rid themselves of all kinds of hazardous waste, which the township also wants to keep out of its landfill sites and ground water. Central Frontenac waste management supervisor and public works coordinator, Kyle Labbett, supervised the event at the corner of Highways 7 and 38 in Sharbot lake on July 21, along with Terry Asselstine from the Hinchinbrooke and Crow Lake waste sites They were joined by numerous councilors and staff from the Township of Central Frontenac and all were pleased with the steady stream of vehicles waiting patiently for their turn to empty their trunks and truck beds. Truckloads of acids, bases, paints, motor oil, gasoline, batteries, fluorescent light tubes, adhesives, contaminated plastic containers and other hazardous materials were collected and loaded onto tucks courtesy of Steve Tebworth of Drain All of Ottawa, who had been hired to take away the waste. The most popular items of the day were oils and paints, and Tebworth came prepared with a tanker and two transports, which he estimated would be hauling away between 20 and 25 tonnes of hazardous materials by the end of the day. He said that 70% of the hazardous waste is recyclable. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out and to those who took the time to properly dispose of these dangerous materials.

What can I do if I’ve been fired? This column is not intended to provide legal advice; it is just general legal information provided by volunteer local lawyers and the staff of community legal clinics and Legal Aid Ontario. The law can change. You must contact a lawyer to determine your legal rights and obligations. If you are living on a low income, you may be eligible for free legal help from Legal Aid Ontario (criminal, family or immigration) or your local community legal clinic (income security programs, employment law, tenants’ rights, or human rights). You can reach Legal Aid Ontario at 1-800-668-8258 or visit them online at www. legalaid.on.ca. You can contact Rural Legal Services at (613) 279-3252 or toll free at 1-888-777-8916. f you get fired from your job there are a lot of options available to you to enforce your rights including claims under the Employment Standards Act (ESA), Canada Labour Code, Human Rights Code or a wrongful dismissal lawsuit in court. If you are unionized, you should speak with your union representative as soon as you are fired. Your union can explain to you the protections available in your union’s collective agreement. If your employer does not have an acceptable legal reason for firing you, the employer must give you notice. This means that your employer has to tell you in advance that you will be fired. Your employer can also pay you for a period of time instead of giving notice. If you didn’t get notice or pay instead of notice, you have two options. You can make a claim to the Ministry of Labour under the ESA. or, you can sue for wrongful dismissal in Small Claims Court (claims $25,000 or less), or Superior Court for claims greater than $25,000. There are different limitation periods for making each kind of claim. You should speak to a lawyer as soon as possible. For the majority of employees, the ESA sets out the minimum notice period you are entitled to under the law. If you have worked at your job for at least 3 months, you are entitled to notice. In general, you are entitled to 1 week’s notice for each year that you worked up to a maximum of 8 weeks. You may also be entitled to severance pay, depending on the size of your employer and the length of your employment. The notice period for “federally regulated” employees is different as this falls under the Canada Labour Code. Speak to a lawyer if you are not sure whether you are federally regulated. Instead of an ESA claim, you can sue your employer in Superior Court or Small Claims Court for wrongful dismissal. While there is no set amount of notice that may be ordered if your claim is successful, it is not unreasonable to ask for 1 month’s pay per year of service. If your employer has a good legal reason for firing you, for example, fraud, theft, unexplained absences or workplace violence, you may not be entitled to anything and your employer may not have to give you notice. Finally, you cannot be fired if the reason you are being fired is protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code (your age, disability, race, sex, etc.). You also cannot be fired as a punishment for making a claim to enforce your rights, such as a claim under the ESA for violation of your workplace rights. When you are fired, remember that you should look for work and keep track of your job search efforts. You should also apply for Employment Insurance (EI) immediately. If you are denied EI benefits, you may be able to appeal the decision. It is important that you speak to a lawyer so that you are fully informed of your rights.

What we lacked in quantity, we made up for in quality. Seems that the heat kept a lot of people at home last Tuesday, and I’m not just talking about the temperature. Those who attended, sat in the air conditioned comfort of the O.S.O. Hall, and shared stories, about our elected officials, and some of their staff and contract holders. Too bad you missed it. It was so much better than television. Like all levels of government, those who promised ‘change for the people’ are now ‘changed people’. “They’re not listening”, was the top complaint, closely followed by a much more interesting, “You won’t believe the cover up”. Our elected, seem to have forgotten who they are working for. They hold positions in a public office, and treat it as if it’s a private one. Looks like our council might need a watchdog committee to keep an eye on them. Since the township is not keeping track of complaints, I suggest e-mailing your concerns, to all members of council, and me, wearewatchingcf@yahoo.ca where complaints will be compiled. The next public meeting is July 31, 7-9pm at O.S.O. Hall in Sharbot Lake. Residents of Central Frontenac are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity, to express your concerns, and share your thoughts. I would also like to extend a special invitation to all council members and staff, to attend this next meeting, where you will get the chance to set things straight, answer our questions, and show us what a great job you’re doing.

first president and it was under his leadership that popular programs began, which included the marching Majorettes and a very popular drum and bugle band under the direction of Martin Eys. Other activities that eventually evolved included seniors’ euchre, the annual fair (which eventually became today’s Canada Day parade and celebrations), bingo, youth dances and more. The building, which for years was fondly referred to as “the chicken coop”, was originally a chicken slaughterhouse owned by Claude Snider, who lived in a house next door to it. The club’s first members purchased the building from Snider for a small fee and paid him back in manageable monthly installments from funds raised at various club events. Over the years the building has undergone numerous renovations and now boasts washrooms and kitchen facilities. Val Ruttan of Harrowsmith, who has been a member of the club since its early years, has very fond memories of the club, espe-
cially back in the early days, but she also understands why at this point its existence is under threat. “So many older members who have been involved since the beginning have retired recently, and as a result there is real problem getting the manpower necessary to run the events”, she said. “The roughly 10 members that we do have left are not even enough to maintain the necessary voting quorum at our meetings. So though it would be very sad to see the club close, unless we get a significant outpouring very soon and a significant influx of new members at this upcoming meeting, it looks as though we will have no other choice but to close, “ she said. Gow is hoping to see many faces at the August 13 meeting, which will begin at 7:30 pm. The club is located at 4041 Colebrook Road in Harrowsmith. Those who cannot attend the meeting but who still want to offer their support through membership or by volunteering can contact Kim Gow at 613-3720018 or kgow63@hotmail.com

FCFDC Cheese app wins award
T
he use of a very modern technology to teach the creation of a traditional product recently took top honours in Community Economic Development in a province-wide competition. The Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation (FCFDC) was recognized for its development of an
iPad application “How to start a cheesemaking business�. “To start a cheese making business is a pretty complex and long process. And so we gathered that information together and developed the iPad application. We did this because we identified that there was an opportunity for new rural businesses in our communities,� says Anne Prichard, Executive Director of the Frontenac CFDC. The Frontenac CFDC won the Award of Excellence at the Ontario Association of Community Futures Development Corporation’s Annual Conference in Sault Ste. Marie. Ms. Prichard explained that the Frontenac CFDC is a member of a unique economic development partnership with the counties of Hastings, Lennox & Addington and Prince Edward. Its objective is to help entrepreneurs who want to establish an artisanal food or beverage business. This partnership began with the launch of an Invest in Cheese Initiative. Creation of the iPad app business tool followed the successful launch of this economic development thrust. “This award shows how innovative the Fronenac CFDC is in bringing technology into everyday use,� says Diana Jedig, Executive Director of the Ontario Association of Community Futures Development Corporations.
