Algonquin Land Claim hits the world of sports radio

“Nuisance” calls frustrate tired CF firefighters by Jeff Green total burn ban is in effect throughout Lanark and Frontenac Counties, Addington Highlands and Stone Mills Township, as dry conditions reach unprecedented levels. Central Frontenac Fire Chief Bill Young says his crews have been run off their feet fighting a series of wildfires, some of which have penetrated 2 ½ feet below ground level. The fires feed on the dried roots of trees and pop up to the surface when the opportunity arises. “On top of that, every night the crews are called out to deal with nuisance fires - camp and garbage fires that people are still starting up even though they are not permitted. We send four firefighters to each of these calls, as well as trucks. It costs the township money, it pulls in already tired firefighters, and it poses a real danger to the public.” Starting this week, Bill Young said that fines will be imposed on those people who insist on flouting the law, and endangering their own and their neighbors' lives and properties. Measurements show that dryness has penetrated deeper underground than has ever been seen in the region, which explains why it has been so difficult to put out wildfires. Young said that a fire on Crown land near Over the Hill Road (near Ardoch Road) took the MNR six days to put out earlier this week, and that the Central Frontenac Fire Department had to call in water bombers to fight a fire on Bolton Lake and another near Parham earlier in July. Crews are also having difficulty fighting some fires because all the ponds and other wetlands that they would normally use as water sources are now dry or nearly dry, meaning they have to pump all their water out of lakes, which can be a thousand metres or more from the location of a fire. The fact that fires are permitted in provincial campgrounds, which are not under the jurisdiction of the municipality, can lead to some confusion, but the message from the fire chiefs throughout the region is simple – no fires at all. “Even if there is rain we will not be dropping the fire ban soon,” said Young, “a little rain doesn’t change anything when it is still so dry beneath the surface and in the bush.” Fire fighters in Central Frontenac have been so over-worked that they have had to appeal for support from North Frontenac fire crews on occasion over the last few weeks. “Our crews are really stretched. This has been a difficult summer for us,” said Young, adding that the public might not understand the kind of effort it takes for firefighters to put out wildfires, all the while wearing heavy gear on hot summer days and sticky nights.

Concession 23 at the Flinton Jamboree

The sizzling summer sounds of local music fests by Julie Druker and Jeff Green he 8th Annual Flinton Country Bluegrass Jamboree, which was held from Aug. 3-5, had trailers jam packed at the Flintion Recreation Centre. On the Saturday night, award-winning master bluegrassers Bill White and White Pine played a generous set to a very appreciative crowd. The band of six players featured the pitch perfect vocals of band leader Bill White; master fiddler Joe White; and mandolin front man Rob Tebworth. The band warmed up the tractor trailer stage for a night of all out classic Bluegrass and played numerous favorites like Bill Munroe’s banjo classic, “Pipe County Breakdown” and Jimmy Martin’s “Maryanne” to name just a few. Next up were newcomers to the Jamboree, the award-winning four-member band from the Ottawa Valley, Concession 23. The tightly knit foursome featured the vocals of their only female member, Sherry Philp, who has been named Vocalist of the Year at the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards for the last five consecutive years. Concesion 23 also includes Jonathan Ferrabee (acoustic bass/vocals); Kevin Golka (mandolin/vocals); Sherry Philp (banjo/ vocals); and Nick Strachan (guitar/vocals). They played a number of tunes from their latest recording titled “Wandering Steps”, a tribute to some of the greatest bluegrass composers of all time. Their version of the sad tune “You’re Not Easy to Forget” was superb, with Kevin singing the lead and featuring Philps on banjo and harmonies. They played a couple of originals from that recording, one of which is titled “Albert Johnson” and tells the story of one of greatest man hunts in Canadian history.

Farther south, the 8th Annual Canadian Guitar Festival at Loughborough Lake Holiday Park continued its tradition of attracting some of the best guitar players and finger pickers from all across Canada, the US and more distant continents. On Saturday, when I attended, Toronto transplant Maneli Jamal

played early in the afternoon. Born in Russia and raised in Germany and the US until 18 years of age, Jamal, who is self-taught, demonstrated a unique style all his own that combines classical, flamenco and percussive playing. He played a number of pieces from his two CDs- the first titled “The Ziur Movement”. He played “Most Glorious Days”, inspired by the words uttered by the judge on the day that he became a Canadian citizen. It was an example of his masterful upbeat playing where he breaks out all the stops, From his 2012 CD titled “The Lamaj Movement”, he played numerous selections including “Us Against Them”, a slow, rich, and deep tune. His set was followed by Owen Van Larkins of Australia, who currently is touring with Jamal and fellow fingerstyler Trevor Gordon Hall. Larkins played a number of tunes from his 2012 CD, “Wandering Hands”. He opened his set with his upbeat original “Stomp” to get the crowd acclimatized to his particular groove and immaculate playing. Later into the set he quieted things down with “One Way Ticket”, a pretty tune with hard hitting, heavenly harmonies. He finished his set off with the rousing “Halloween Two Step” - a danceable, driving tune that demonstrates the lighter side of his amazing virtuoso soundscapes. Meanwhile back at Clarendon, the the 39th annual Blue Skies Festival was programmed this year by new artistic director Julia Phillips, followed on some of the initiatives taken in recent years to program with a younger audience in mind while continuing the folk and roots traditions that have made the festival a multi-generational sell-out for years and years. Phillips has a particular interest in music with a roots-based jazz inflection, if this festival was any indication. The highlight of the Friday night ‘sound check’ concert exemplified all the traditions

he Algonquin Land Claim, which according to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs is headed towards the completion of an Agreement in Principle (AIP) by the end of this year, has attracted media attention in Toronto. The claim, which encompasses 1/6 of the land mass in southern Ontario - home to 1.4 million permanent and seasonal residents has been negotiated under the radar for 20 years. As the negotiations have progressed over the last 2 or 3 years, there have been simmering concerns among some Algonquin individuals and groups, as has been noted in these pages. At the same time interest groups such as the Ontario Federation of Anglers, Ducks Unlimited, the Federation of Cottage Associations, and Land O’Lakes Tourist Association among a host of others, as well as representatives from affected municipalities, have all privately expressed their own concerns. Forums that have been set up to inform and consult with interest groups and municipalities in the territory have not mollified many of the concerns about the impact of the claim. This view was expressed last week on Fish’n Canada, a weekly show on The Fan radio station in Toronto. Phil Morlock, from the Canadian Sports Fishing Industry Association, described the meetings as “classroom lectures rather than consultation.” Kathleen Wynne, the Ontario Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, was interviewed earlier on in the program. She identified herself as a canoe camper with a long family history in Algonquin Park, and said she was “one of you guys”, identifying herself with the fishing and hunting enthusiasts that are the target market for the radio show. Not only did Wynne reiterate that the Land Claim will not affect private land or Algonquin Park, she also said there will be ample opportunity for public consultation as the claim moves forward, and that she will be available for interviews as well. Phil Morlock countered that his group sent a series of questions about the claim to the ministry over a year ago and has not received a response. Morlock also said he is suspicious that the promise about excluding the park from the claim is less than it seems. He claimed that even though, in order to protect the trout fishery in the park, winter fishing is not permitted, there are Algonquins who take trout during the winter but officials with the government have never taken action. Fish’n Canada will be following the land claim now, and will have an interview with Michael Gravelle, the Minister of Natural Resources, in an upcoming show. Podcasts of the one-hour weekly shows are available at fishncanada.com.

THE FRONTENAC NEWS

Cleaning up the summer details by Wilma Kenny he agenda was long but dominated with housekeeping issues at the only August meeting of South Frontenac Council on Tuesday night. Council Sticks with the Rules Darlene Clement asked Council to consider waiving the fee in lieu of parkland (5% of property value) for a recent severance of her father’s property. This property, originally two separate farms, had merged in the ‘60s, due to common ownership. Ms Clement felt an exception should be made because both newly created properties are expected to remain with family members. Council directed staff to obtain an official evaluation of the property, but indicated they did not wish to begin making exceptions to the official plan. As they left the meeting, one member of the delegation shouted to council: “I don’t like your attitude!” Later in the meeting, Council agreed they saw no reason to close and sell a road allowance in Storrington, for it is township policy to not close road allowances that lead to water. Council did agree to close and sell another portion of road allowance in Storrington after a site visit confirmed the allowance runs through a swamp. However, they turned down the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s request for a reduced price. Mayor Davison expressed concern that, although the conservancy staff had described the property (the former Hewlett-Packard land) as open to public use, he had found the gate locked, with a ‘No Trespassing’ sign.

Sawmill Permitted For a number of years, Wayne Selle has operated a small sawmill on a property at the corner of Murvale and Scanlan Roads, in Loughborough. Recently, he severed the property, and is proposing to move the sawmill from the lot it is pres-

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC TOTAL BURNING BAN There is a Total Burning Ban in effect in all four districts of South Frontenac. Please refer to our website for up-to-date information on the burning ban status.

When questioned, Selle said the sawmill was a small operation, and at the most, might draw six half-ton trucks a week, and a larger truck once every two months. There will be no outdoor furnace or kiln at the new site. Council approved the necessary zone change. Massassauga Waste Disposal Site Closing The Massassauga Site is slated to close on September 28. Further information will be posted on the Township website, and at the site by mid-August.

Seeking a recycling break -

Addington Highlands Council - August 7 by Jeff Green

alph Seamons, of Tanglewood Marina on the north shore of Weslemkoon Lake, appeared before Council He brought Jim Reynolds along with him. Reynolds is a seasonal resident on Weslemkoon, and a client of Ralph Seamons’ garbage delivery business. Seamons has been having difficulty complying with some new dumping provisions that Addington Highlands brought in last year, in particular the requirement that all recyclable items be placed in a blue box and handed to the dump attendant, who then inspects the items and carries the box up a ramp to dump the items in township bins. Seamons, who has been running his business since 2001, used to transport the recyclable materials to the waste disposal site on Hartsmere Road in “totes” that are the size of 8 or 9 blue bins. Until the new rules took effect, he would dump the contents of the totes in the township bin, but now he must use the totes to fill one blue box at a time, and wait while the attendant checks the contents of the blue box, carries it up a ramp and dumps it into the township bin. “I take 16 totes full of recyclables once a week during the summer. Now instead of simply dumping the contents once, I

Consultations re Bedford, Portland Waste Sites The Public Services Committee will share information and seek public input at two meetings: Bedford Centre on Tuesday August 21, and Verona Lions hall on Wednesday August 24. Both meetings are from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Public Open House and Facilities Tour Public Works Manager Segsworth announced there will be an official opening of Federal Gas tax funded projects at Keeley Road, Saturday September 29, from 10am-2pm. Come tour the Household Hazardous Waste Site, and the new Sand/Salt storage facility. Could Black Become the New Omaha Orange? “NO!” says Council. A frequent topic resurfaced once again when Segsworth announced that one of three trucks ordered in early spring, the vehicle intended for his own use, is being built at a separate location than the other two. The plant where his vehicle is being built is not equipped to paint the truck Omaha Orange, the township colour. Having in the past been disappointed with the poor results of repainting, Segsworth has directed the factory to paint the truck black, and add the Township crest to the doors. Council remains adamant that their trucks must be easily identified, and has directed Segsworth to have it repainted orange once it arrives.

Sign theft in Arden

by Jeff Green udith Versavel of Gallery on the Bay in Arden has been the target of what seems to be senseless acts of vandalism this summer. Her gallery is located at the end of Willet Lane, and in the interest of saving potential customers from driving down her lane when she is not open for business, she has placed small open and closed signs on the signs she already has on the Arden Road. These open and closed signs have been vandalised and stolen on a number of occasions. On August 1, permanent "closed/open" signs were made and attached to the gallery signs on Arden Road. At the end of the day, one of them was missing. Judith Versavel has contacted the OPP and they are investigating the vandalism. “Running a business in these times is hard enough without having someone causing extra cost and frustration,” said Versavel about the crimes, which have marred an otherwise excellent relationship with the local community. “We have are wonderful community, and this is one of those stupid things that keep happening,” she said “and I really have no idea why I am being targeted. It is adding stress to my summer for sure. Anyone with information regarding this theft is urged to contact the Lanark County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or 613279-2195. You are reminded that you can call Lanark County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. You do not have to provide your name or testify in court and if your information leads to an arrest you can qualify for a cash reward.

Letters to the editor It’s a question of simple fairness Mr Green, not jealousy. And as for your remarkably SINCE 1970 silly comment that Arden has lost “virtually all (its) retail establishments over the years” to big boxes elsewhere; Arden never had a business of that sort to lose. It did lose its then remaining grocery store several years ago when the shabby state of the roads and sidewalks in the hamlet turned off potential investors, but the Legion is now operating a grocery and Arden retains 5 other businesses, several that not only advertise in your newspaper but that have been here for over 30 years. - Patrick Maloney

Re: It's time for some Ardenites to move on

can empathize with Jeff Green in his wish that he could have provided better answers during his interview with the 'Lost Highway' documentary film-makers, however I differ with some of the thoughts Mr. Green feels would have provided those clever answers he was seeking. I too have long heard the complaints that 'everything goes to Sharbot Lake' and I agree that the same harsh economic realities face all of us in Central Frontenac. These sentiments however, are likely to result whenever there are perceptions that other individuals or communities have more amenities, facilities and resources. Such comments here in Central Frontenac are not primarily based upon the result of a loss of businesses, but more from resentments lingering over the loss of independence and influence that can be traced back to the amalgamation of the former townships and from various decisions and actions at the municipal level since that time. Dismissing the possibility of there being any truth to perceived slights as 'beside the point' in itself misses the point. A far more productive approach would be seeking to understand what might have led people to their perceptions, followed by attempting to alter those conditions. Is it time to move on? In Arden that is exactly what we have been doing. There is no direct or implied criticism from us toward Sharbot Lake or any other community in Central Frontenac. Without a 'commercial hub' we agree that if we are to revitalize the com-

munity we need to do so by working to build upon existing assets and natural resources. This approach is reflected by describing the community and its people through the slogan, 'Naturally Beautiful, friendly by Nature'. It would be foolish if we believed it could be possible to recapture what existed in the 'good old days', but we do believe that by working together we can shape a newly revitalized and sustainable community. As far as Council actions and decisions go, in Arden we are in fact most appreciative and grateful for township undertakings to upgrade local conditions. We understand that there are budget constraints and a need for fairness across the municipality, but we do not apologize for working to hold Council accountable for maintaining conditions within the Arden area and across the township. That is Council's responsibility, and insisting on accountability is something we should all be prepared to do as citizens and communities. Speaking of 'community', that term generally means 'a body of people living in one place, location or district', but it often also suggests concepts of 'common interests' or 'identity of character'. Perhaps this is our problem in Central Frontenac. Can we yet say that we have moved on to the point that when we refer to our community, we mean the township? Only by working together can we begin to move past parochial definitions based upon local neighbourhoods and former jurisdictions. The Friends of Arden congratulate Sharbot Lake on the completion of its Community Improvement Plans and the potential for economic growth that may ensue. Hopefully growth will strengthen the entire township, as opposed to only one part, leading to the same unintended consequences across the municipality that parts of the township are perceived to have been neglected. We all continue to struggle and we do need Yoga, Pilates, Dance, Reiki & other Energy Therapies

to struggle to become stronger. Only when we have stronger individual parts, can we then become stronger as a larger townshipwide community. To criticize the spirit coming out of Arden, is to diminish those people putting forward their best efforts to build a new community, one that is a part of the larger community of Central Frontenac. Yes indeed Mr. Green, we are moving on. We have moved on and we encourage you to keep up with us. Terry Kennedy, Friends of Arden

Another reason to support new NF ambulance/ fire hall

would like to voice my deep felt appreciation to the North Frontenac firefighters for their work at Sunday Lake this past week. On two separate occasions (Sunday night and again on Tues) they responded to calls from residents. The first call also required an ambulance and the second call was to contain a fire from spreading to neighbouring homes and into the bush. The firefighters worked for several hours in the extreme heat from the flames and even when it was out, they checked to ensure that there were no hot spots and that the neighbours were safe. It is at times such as these that we have to ensure that we do not lose our ambulance and fire hall. The idea of a fire at this time of year is terrifying enough without thinking that help is too far away to be of value. We have to say thank you to our volunteers and fight to keep our essential services in close proximity to all of us. Mavis Wade

our editorial screed in the Aug. 2 edition lecturing Arden on how it is time to bury its resentment of Sharbot Lake and move on managed to miss the one salient point that actually defines the entire issue - fair distribution of tax dollars. As I have pointed out in previous letters to this newspaper dating back several years, when Kennebec was forced into the amalgamation that created Central Frontenac it was debt free and had reserves in the bank. The same cannot be said for each of the other three former townships. Since amalgamation each of these other former townships has received significant Public Works upgrades adding up to over $2 million, not including the township office addition or the medical centre (a further $720,000) while Kennebec has not received a single up grade and continues to have to fight tooth and nail for essential repairs. CF Township created a self serving Public Works Construction Activity spreadsheet in August, 2010, designed to show that public works expenditures had been distributed evenly throughout the greater township since 2003. In a letter published in this newspaper Sept 23, 2010, (http://frontenacnews.ca/2010/10-38_ sep_23/letters_10-38.html#letter3) I pointed out numerous discrepancies and omissions in that report, collected missing data from the township and used their own figures to demonstrate that in actual fact Olden had received $2,811,948; Hinchinbrooke - $2,626,592; Oso - $2,526,777; and Kennebec - $1,251,629. Again not including the medical centre or township office addition in Sharbot Lake. According to the former township CAO, my calculations were not disputed. This ratio remains largely the same to date. Kennebec has been short changed over $1 million while historically the biggest contributor to CF Township taxes. Recently the township published figures that show that Kennebec is no longer the single biggest contributor to CF taxes but as these figures are brought to us by the same people that blatantly massaged the Public Works spreadsheet, I, for one, will remain justifiably sceptical. Kennebec was effectively gutted after amalgamation and the pavement and sidewalks in Arden were left to crumble. I led a delegation to CF Council in Sept 2009 to reacquaint them with their responsibilities and while promises were made they continue to drag their feet, claiming fiscal restraint and doling out road work repairs every 2 years that are still a long way from being completed, and reneging on promises not to replace the deteriorated bridge guardrails with cheap ugly highway crash guards.

The idea of digitalization of the human body is coming. There are blood glucose machines that can connect to an iPhone. Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you. Bruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly. Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor. If you have to give your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable. Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy is important. It enables us to serve you better.

Four decades of happy traveling Flower Festival at St. Paul’s in Parham A T l-r, Jean Stott, Paul Belshaw and Joyce Hill at the Flower Festival

by Julie Druker

hough they have yet to choose a final destination for this year’s upcoming trip, members of the Parham Happy Travelers, a group that has been meeting monthly for over 40 years now, held a BBQ fundraiser beside the Parham post office to raise funds for their next adventure. Joan Wyatt, the group’s president, said not only does the group take one trip a year (last year it was to Upper Canada Village), they also make annual donations to local community groups or service clubs, which is their way of giving back to the community. The group has 42 members, 25 of whom are active, and they meet every third Wednesday of the month for a potluck lunch, live entertainment and oth-

er activities. Recently the group celebrated their 40th anniversary and close to 70 guests attended the celebrations. Wyatt, who has been a member of the group for 11 years and its president for the last three, said the group especially encourages its seniors to get out, enjoy a meal and some entertainment, but especially one another’s company. “It definitely gets members out of the house once a month and committed to something that they enjoy and look forward to. It is also an opportunity for members to meet new people in the community, “ Wyatt said. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join the group, which meets at noon every third Wednesday of the month (except in July and August) at the Free Methodist Church in Parham.

Verona resident’s ongoing support for Haiti T by Julie Druker

hough it has been well over two years since the country of Haiti was decimated by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck near Port Au Prince on January 12, 2010, Verona resident Linda Bates has continued to bring much needed aid to residents of that country. In February 2013 she will be returning to Haiti on her 5th trip with a team of volunteers, who will each be bringing with them three suitcases filled with provisions, which on this particular trip will include hand-knit dolls, hand-sewn summer dresses and shorts for children, school supplies and more. Linda

will be traveling to the country aboard a Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship that stops in Haiti. The ship has proved in past years to be a mode of inexpensive travel and a way to get around unnecessary red tape when aiming to get aid into the country. Ship regulations allow each cruiser to bring with them three suitcases that can be dropped off in Haiti for free. Linda expects seven other travelers to be making the trip with her, which means that a total of 24 suitcases, which translate into thousands of dollars worth of donated goods for the residents there, will arrive in Haiti. In the suitcases will be hundreds of hand-knitted dolls for comforting babies, which Joyce Hamilton and Phyllis Harper of Verona have spent countless hours making. Also in the luggage will be hundreds of hand-sewn summer dresses and shorts made by volunteer sewers in the

and many other ingenious and beautiful arrangements, some of which also included an interesting educational component. Joyce entered her own arrangement and chose Victoria Day as her theme, wishing to highlight the significance of that Queen on this country's history. Other memorable entries included one from New Leaf Link (NeLL) done in the tradition of Japanese floral art called the Moribana style, which incorporates leaves, branches, vines and plants according to the season and which they designed to reflect the principles of their organization. Another notable entry was a beautiful orchid from Blue Roof Farm in Verona, representing the Anglicans from Bellrock, a.k.a. the Village of Gardens.

ccording to Joyce Hill, who has been a member of the congregation at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Sydenham for 40 years, flowers are often used to celebrate church anniversaries in England. Joyce is originally from Luton, Bedfordshire, a town located about 30 miles north of London, England, and she decided to bring the English tradition to St. Paul’s after visiting a flower festival in Eversholt, England with her husband when they traveled there in 2008 to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. “I remember it being a really beautiful festival so when we were deciding on ideas of how to celebrate this year’s 175th anniversary here at St. Paul's, we remembered it and decided to bring the tradition here to Sydenham,” she said. Joyce, along with long-time church members Jean Stott and Hazel Hobbs, invited individuals and businesses from the community to create a flower arrangement based on the theme of “Seasons and/or Holidays”. On August 4 the church opened its doors to the public to view the 36 arrangements on display in the sanctuary. They included a bonsai tree, a miniature lily pond, orchids,

FAMILY REUNION

august 9, 2012

By Sara Carpenter

must confess, zucchini isn’t one of my favourite vegetables. But when it’s at its seasonal peak as it is now, it has a mild garden taste and a delicate crunch that reminds me of pattypans, those colourful, diminutive, ribbed squash that are so delicious roasted. A friend of mine uses zucchini to garnish gazpacho, a cool, summertime soup from Spain; the tiny cubes of light- and bright green are a worthy foil for this spicy, tomatobased delicacy. The trick with zucchini is to get them small, six or seven inches. After that, the seeds develop too much and the texture becomes somewhat mealy. They can still be good cooked if you remove the seeds, but for eating raw, there’s nothing like the smaller ones. Zucchini belongs to the summer squash family, which has a tender, edible peel. The aforementioned pattypan squash is a member, too, and so is the one we simply call summer squash, which resembles zucchini, but in a bright yellow-gold. All the summer squashes are a real bargain for weight watchers, coming in at about 35 calories per half pound. They also contain a decent amount of potassium to help with blood pressure regulation, and despite being low in fibre, in their raw state they can definitely help fill you up and hydrate you at the same time. A good heat wave vegetable. The zucchini “ribbon” salad featured below is a take on one that California chef Giada de Laurentiis makes. The lemon juice brightens the vegetables’ mild flavour and the Parmesan cheese adds savouriness. Bon appétit!

ZUCCHINI RIBBON SALAD

Makes 4 servings Using a vegetable peeler, make “ribbons” from 2 medium zucchini and 2 summer squash, ends trimmed. To make the ribbons, run a vegetable peeler top-tobottom down the length of each squash to form long, thin strips. Transfer the strips to a salad bowl. Add a large handful of snow peas (about 100 g), trimmed. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together 1/4 cup fruity olive oil; 2 tbsp. lemon juice; 1/2 tsp. salt; 1/4 tsp. pepper. Drizzle over vegetables, tossing gently to coat. Just before serving, add 2 to 3 tbsp. torn basil leaves or chopped flat-leaf parsley; toss gently. Garnish with 60 g of Parmesan or Romano cheese, shaved into shards with a vegetable peeler.

a large dress and it has been adorned with unglazed ceramic flowers, which give it a more formal but still natural look. A similar interior constructed of stairs invites the viewer inside to try it on. A third piece and one of my favorites is made from inverted branches of sumac arranged in a whirling construction, which makes the structure appear like a whirling full skirt that stands up from the ground on the branches' pointed ends. In this piece a ladder made from cut pieces of larger branches invites the viewer to climb the skirt to wear it from above or alternately to climb inside its lower open spaces and adorn it from below. One of the most successful pieces in my opinion was one made in two sections, the upper part, a ceramic torso adjoined to two gray and weathered pine slabs that look like long, stick-like legs. The piece calls to the viewer to insert their head and arms into the work from behind, the same way you would dress a doll with paper cut-out clothes. For Marvan, who has been working as a professional artist for the last 12 years and who studied performance art at New York's State University, this work represents a definite new direction and one she will no doubt continue to explore in two more upcoming residencies that she will undertake while in

Ontario. The next will be at Artscape on the Toronto Islands and the third at the Tree Museum located in the Muskokas. For more information visit www.fieldworkproject.com

OPP reportS Police are investigating a fatal motor vehicle collision that occurred on August 5 at approx. 4:35 pm. Police have determined that a passenger van exiting a private driveway and a pickup truck travelling westbound, collided on Highway 7 near Gambles Side Road approx. 10 km west of Perth. The driver of the van, an 80-year-old Perth area resident, succumbed to her injuries at the scene. The driver of the truck, a 49-year-old Oakville, Ontario man was uninjured in the collision. Also traveling in the pickup truck were four passengers, two of whom, a 48-year-old woman and 14-year-old girl, were transported to hospital with minor non-life threatening injuries. Two other female passengers, 14 and 10 years old, were uninjured. • On July 27 at 7:04 pm Frontenac OPP received a call of a possible impaired driver heading north on Road 38. Near Hartington, OPP Constable Whinney observed the described pickup truck pass by him. After observing the driving of the vehicle himself he stopped it. Due to other physical observations

Scouts set sights on 2013 Jamboree

by Julie Druker

Front Debra-Lyn, Zachary Willard; back: Karen Young, Beth Willard

ocal members and volunteers of the South Frontenac Scouts of Perth Road and Verona are hoping this year to raise enough funds through various events to send 15 scouts aged 11-14 and their leaders to the Canadian Scouts Jamboree 2013. The national event will be held at Camp Woods in Sylvan Lake, Alberta from July 6-13. The Jamboree happens only once every six years and is an event where Scouts from all over Canada gather to participate in a number of activities, programs and educational workshops. Karen Young, assistant group commissioner for SF Scouts of Verona and Perth Road, and Cub leader Beth Willard organized a yard sale in Harrowsmith on August 4 in support of the upcoming Jamboree trip. Young said, “Our goal is to try to get all of our Scouts to the Jamboree next year, which would be great. We have been fundraising all year long to make that happen. These Jamborees are known to be very important experiences for the scouts who are able to attend, and many will remember the experience long into adulthood.” The next fundraising event will be a charity golf tournament at Westbrook Golf Club in Kingston on August 17. The cost is $85 for 18 holes with a meal included and it will be a four-person scramble format. Tee off time is at 11am. Other activities during the event will include a 50/50 draw, a putting contest, heckle hole, and silent auction. For more information call Bruno Albano at 613-374-3583. The SF Scouts are also raising funds through Regal Gifts (www. sfscj2013.shopregal.ca). The company offers more than 1000 products for sale and the SF Scouts will earn 30% of every order purchased. Those without Internet access may contact Maggie Dalmas at 372-2050.

2nd Annual Frontenac Frolic attracts a crowd by Julie Druker embers of the Bobs and Crow Lakes Foundation held their second annual Frontenac Frolic fundraiser at the Bedford hall on August 4. The foundation, which is a registered charity, raises monies to fund various projects to preserve and enhance the quality of both lakes for current and future generations. Bargain hunters who came out had a fine array of used flea market and brand new silent auction items to choose from. For animal lovers of all ages, it was the draw of the cute and cuddly farm animals from West Winds Ranch in Westport that made their day. Those tempted by games of chance enjoyed the always surprising cow flop bingo game. Christopher Stone (at right with Susan Mactaggart), a member of the Friends of the Tay Watershed, oversaw the display and sale of the “Done Dory”, a beautiful hand-built boat. The close to 16 foot versatile rowboat/sailboat was built in Perth in 1997 by Frank Roy, who donated it to the Friends of the Tay, and the proceeds from its sale will go towards funding their various education and outreach programs. Susan O'Brien Mactaggart, president of the Bobs and Crow Lakes Foundation, said that recent cutbacks by the federal and provincial governments of numerous Ministry of Natural Resources programs have had negative effects on lake groups and their environments, and that now lake associations must strive to raise by their own efforts all the funds they need to support their programs and projects. She said, “Right now we as a foundation find ourselves in the

rontenac County will turn 150 years old in 2015. At the helm of planning a proper celebration is the 150th Anniversary Planning Advisory Committee. The committee is in the early stages of planning and encourages county residents to provide suggestions and ideas for the celebration. To kick-start community involvement, the committee is holding a contest for the creation of a logo to visually identify and promote the celebratory events of 2015. The contest closes on November 2, 2012. A grand prize of $1,000 will be awarded to the contest winner. The winning submission will be used in all visual references to the 150th Anniversary over the next three years. Please visit www.frontenaccounty.ca.

A few of the programs that the foundation is currently putting into place are the shoreline survey, fire pumps, boat safety cards and fish rehabilitation. Visit www.bobs-and-crow-lakes.org

tunes while strumming his fiddle, and at other times, accompanied by his brother Noah on guitar, playing some of his own fiddle compositions. In addition, Otty Way, Perth-based guitarist and songwriter Jacob Bornheimer, accompanied by vocalist-songwriter Surah Field-Green of Sharbot Lake, performed original tunes that used looping techniques to layer vocal and guitar riffs together, producing a hypnotic/ephemeral sound.

of the festival. The Boxcar Boys, a group of young Toronto musicians, describe their music as a “gumbo of wild gypsy,

Their set featured tight ensemble playing, lots of danceable melodies, and some haunting Klezmer clarinet riffs. On Saturday night, highlights included Maz - a project that became a band when Mark Maziade decided to put together a jazz ensemble rooted in traditional Quebec music. The result is at times ephemeral and at times foot-stomping Québécois music in the tradition of La Bottine Souriante. By the time Maz’s set came to a close, the small number of hardcore dancers at both sides of the hill in front of the Blue Skies stage had swollen to become bouncing wings around the people sitting on blankets or low chairs in the center. Annabelle Chvostek, who some may know from her tenure with the Wailin’ Jennys, edged the evening into a singersongwriter direction, but not completely. The message of her music is one of social justice, but she delivers it with a lot of rhythm, exemplified in the only cover song she performed, Peter Tosh’s “Equal Rights”. She is also one of the few performers who manage to play fiddle and sing lead vocals at the same time. Sherman Downey and the Silver Lining were heavily anticipated by the crowd after stand-out performances at the Stewart Park Festival and the Sharbot Lake County Inn in recent weeks, and their Newfoundland party sound found a receptive audience.

Addington Highlands - Continued from pg 2

Maneli Jamal at the Canadian Guitar Festival Among the highlights on Sunday night were Sonic Escape - a fiddle, flute and cello trio from New York, who were attending their first ever folk festival. They wondered how the audience would respond to their virtuoso playing of popular classical music, but need not have worried as they received a standing ovation by the time their set was completed. The final performance of the festival featured the Guelphbased band Eccodeck fit the bill to a tee. Eccodeck includes keyboard, bass, a multi-instrumentalist on all things brass, a drummer and a conga player, along with a man they call “The Delivery Man” who plays a complicated sampling machine. Among the samples they use are vocal performances from some of the top African and Indian influences vocalists they can find. The band produces a hypnotic beat that is at once modern and ancient, a sound that also echoed the roots-jazz feel that Julia Phillips brought to Clarendon this year. In addition to performers from across Canada and Northeastern United States, two of the front stage acts, who perform while equipment behind the curtain is being shifted between performances, were young local musicians. Japhy Sullivan, from nearby Bennet Lake, is a fiddle player, composer, and singer. Fresh from a performance at Stewart Park with a full band, Japhy performed some more intimate material, at points singing original and traditional

have to fill the blue box 125 times, and wait for the attendant to dump the blue box. It costs me a lot of time and the attendant as well,” said Seamons. He said it now takes 6 hours to do his recycling run when it used to take 2, and asked that he be able to use a less onerous system, preferably a return to the old system. He offered to enter into a contract with the township, with specific terms being spelled out. “The problem is that contaminants, non-recyclable materials, were getting into our recycling stream and when that happens our recycling load is rejected at the recycling depot in Renfrew. Each time that happens it costs us up to $1,000 in total,” said Reeve Hogg. Jim Reynolds said that he hopes the township can make an arrangement with Seamons, who said he might get out of the garbage business if the situation is not resolved. “We have steadily increased our recycling, and I fear that if this is not resolved we will end up with no service, and that will result in garbage being dumped at the side of the road,” said Reynolds, who added that one of the attractions of Seamons’ service to them is the fact they can deliver their garbage and recycling 24 hours a day instead of having to deal with limited township dump hours. Council members asked questions of Seamons, but did not have time to address his requests, which they will look at in September. Truck and paving contracts awarded – One large and one small contract was awarded at the meeting. The large one was the purchase of a plow/sander at a cost of $193,000 from Winslow Geromaly Motors of Peterborough ($225,000 was allocated to the purchase in the 2012 budget). The smaller item was the paving contract for the handicapped parking sites at the new Denbigh community centre at a cost of $4,800. Flinton Rec Centre washrooms Council decided to purchase new doors and stalls for the Flinton Recreation Centre washrooms, as the existing ones are 25 years old and failing. Two quotes will be sought for materials and installation. Agreements with North Frontenac Two agreements that were discussed at the joint meeting between Addington Highlands and North Frontenac were ratified. One is to allow Addington Highlands residents access to the Highway 506 waste site in North Frontenac for the disposal of hazardous waste. The second was for a joint protocol for declaring a fire ban.
