Mountain Grove trail rider wins US championship “I
t definitely took a while to sink in,” said Elaine Steele of Mountain Grove, who took first place in the 70-mile National Championship Competitive Trail Ride that took place in Ashville, North Carolina on September 23 and 24 at the Biltmore Estate. Steele was the sole Canadian competitor. She beat out 20 other riders from the US in the two-day ride and was one of just 12 who completed the 70-mile course. Steele, who has been around horses since she was a youngster and has been trail riding competitively for 17 years, said the win took her by surprise for a number of reasons. “Not only was I the sole Canadian competitor but I rode a horse that I thought was not my ‘good’ horse,” Elaine said. Elaine rode Zena, The Warrior Princess, whom she describes as a laid back, adaptable horse that aims to please. Elaine and her husband Rick bred and raised the 14year-old half pinto/half Arabian themselves and she proved her worth at the competition. Zena competed in the event after Elaine’s preferred horse, Chanticleer Shadow, came up lame in an accident a week before the competition. Zena was thought to be the underdog in the competition. “Zena hasn’t done a lot of rides, a few here and there and I’ve only competed on her a couple of times before this,” Elaine said. “She was the only pinto down there, and was smaller than all of the other horses. I suppose that for those reasons everyone just kind of dismissed her. They called her “my little pony”. The little pony not only shocked her competitors but her owner as well. “I really didn’t think she could do it and I definitely did not expect it
from her. But she is a little horse that has surprised me many times before.” In trail riding, speed, though important, is not the ultimate goal. Riders need to complete the 70 km ride in a prescribed time and they face elimination if they run either over or under that set time. The judges look for fit horses that have been properly trained and guided by the rider on the trail. The horses are examined by veterinarians every 8-10 miles. The judges assess the horse’s gait, pulse rate, eating habits, attitude, and overall health, and points are deducted from riders whose horses are not up to the 70-mile challenge. Elaine, who is still amazed at her win, said that she did not have any expectations going into the ride. “My goal in going down there was just to complete the event so that I could get my belt buckle - but that was all I was hoping for.” She said that at the awards ceremony she was certain that the judges had made a mistake. “It took a while even after the announcement for it to sink in that I won.“ What does it take to be a good trail rider? “You really have to know your horse, and know what speed you are traveling at.” Elaine mentioned that many of the riders use GPS devices and other specialty gadgets to measure their speed but she uses a wrist watch to keep track of how she is doing. “If you depend on fancy gadgets, which can sometimes not function properly on the trail, you can find yourself in a bit of trouble. Personally I like to rely on my own judgment. That’s what works best for me.” With over 5500 kilometers under her belt, Elaine is well known in the area as a trail rid-
er, and she and her husband Rick organize the Seoul’s Corners Competitive Trail and Endurance Ride every year. What’s next for Elaine and Zena? “I’m not sure at this point what I will do for next season. Chanticleer has done a lot of hard miles and competitions. And I think that my kids will likely ride Zena more than I will. I have another horse that I am excited about, a horse I named

t their emeting on Tuesday (October 9) Central Frontenac Council heard from Sue Leslie and Bob Teal, a delegation from a group called the Central Recreation Center Committee about plans for the soon to be vacated Hinchinbrooke Public School The committee made two requests of council: the first to have a member of council sit on their committee and the second to support the purchasing of Hinchinbrooke Public School should a feasibility study find that the transformation of the school into a recreation centre would be beneficial and affordable to township residents. Back in July, council supported the creation of the committee to look into the feasibility of purchasing either Hinchibrooke or Sharbot Lake public schools. A proposal was submitted to the Frontenac CFDC (Community Futures Development Corporation) for funding to conduct a feasibility study and funds to assist with plans to renovate the school. The proposal was turned down by the FCFDC, which cited two reasons - the proposal failed to identify economic benefits for the area and the proposal was looking at both the schools instead of just one. The FCFDC were impressed, however, with the level of support for the project from various community groups. They suggested that the committee return to council. The committee is hoping that with coun-
cil’s support they can resubmit the proposal to the FCFDC for the Hinchinbrooke school only before the November 1 deadline, as the Sharbot Lake Public School has numerous redevelopment issues – including some asbestos that needs to be removed. In a report to Council, Chief Administrative Officer Shawn Trépanier pegged the cost of the school at $150,000, but Sue Leslie said might it might realistically end up being only $125,000. Councilors Heather Fox and Bill Snyder agreed to be appointed to the committee. Trépanier said that at this point Council has committed $5,000 towards the project, money that is to be levied from the 2013 budget. “Council has made no further financial commitment to the project,” he said. Councilors discussed the wording of a resolution of support for the project. The resolution initially stated that council “would support” the purchasing of the school should the study prove feasible. Councilor Guntensperger was the first to say that he felt uncomfortable with that strong a commitment. “That means that even if we disagree with what the study puts forth, we are still committed to supporting the project.” After additional discussion it was decided to amend the resolution to say that council “would consider” supporting the purchase of

the school should a study prove it feasible. The motion was carried unanimously.
More from Central Frontenac Council Construction slow in 2012, save for new school: The total value of construction permits in September in Central Frontenac exceeded $15 million, which is more than the combined values of 2010 and 2011 combined. That figure is somewhat misleading, however, because it is dominated by a single project, the new K-12 school in Sharbot Lake, a project that approaches $15 million on its own. Putting the school aside, the building numbers for 2012 are slow. The number of permits sold (105) is lower than the first nine months of 2011 (140) and 2010 (149). The number of new residences (15) is higher than last year at this time (13) but lower than 2010 (18) Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven did not know what to attribute the low levels of activity to, except to say that the building industry tends to be cyclical.

Conditional building permit issued for new Sharbot Lake school by Jeff Green C
entral Frontenac Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven confirmed last week that the township has issued a building permit for the new school at the Sharbot Lake High School site. The township has not received a septic permit for the project from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, (MoE) however, and Neven said that while the permit will allow construction to proceed on the project, no occupancy permit will be issued until the MoE issues a septic permit. Although the permit was issued before Neven returned to his position with the township, he said that in looking at the file he noted there are requirements that test wells be drilled, and that the MoE may be requiring that a tertiary system be installed as well. “The school board is now working with the MoE to make sure the system complies with their requirements.” The News made an inquiry to the MoE about the process being applied in this case, but we have not received a response as yet.

Frontenac County loses if Stewardship Council fades away by Jeff Green
I
t was several years ago now that Brett Colman, then working as a Stewardship Coordinator with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, appeared before North Frontenac Council. He was there on a recruitment drive. Colman had just transferred to Kingston from southwestern Ontario and he was trying to find representatives for the Frontenac Stewardship Council from all corners of the County in order to bring it back from a moribund state. Stewardship Councils had been set up as a cost cutting exercise by the ministry. Until budget cuts in 1995 ministry employees did the work of stewardship council’s, providing information and resources to landowners who were interested in fostering a balance between their own land use and the long term viability of the rural ecosystem. Quite apart from the regulatory function of the ministry, which often puts the ministry in conflict with landowners, stewardship is all about cooperation and taking advantage of a common interest between individuals and governments in fostering a diverse and healthy rural landscape. It took a while for the Frontenac Stewardship Council, which is a group do interested volunteers aided by a ministry employee, to get up and running. With the help of Colman, who took early retirement to work with his wife at Desert Lake Family Resort in Verona, and his replacement Cam McCauley, the Council has had active participation from members in all four Frontenac Townships, with members from Frontenac Islands making extra efforts to get to meetings in Hartington or Sharbot Lake, within the limitations of the ferry schedules. Landowners from the Limestone, Canadian Shield, and islands ecosystems have met together and talked about issues of concern across a vast and diverse territory. Slowly, through communications with County and township Councils and staff, cottage associations, woodlot owners, farmers, and students, the Frontenac Stewardship Council has been working its way into the fabric of life in Frontenac County.

As we have chronicled in these pages, Frontenac County itself suffers from the difficulties that its landscape and political history as junior partner in its relationship to the City of Kingston. As the County prepares for its 150th anniversary in 2015, an opportunity to put its best foot forward as a modern, rural community of communities with a common future, the Stewardship Council was in line to be a key partner in some of the activities. This is now in extreme doubt. With the Ministry of Natural Resources pulling away from the Stewardship Council program, the Frontenac Stewardship Council will be lucky to survive, and if it does it will likely be as part of a regional enitty. As one of the pieces of Frontenac Counties’ fragile public identity, the loss of the Council is a loss for the County as a whole, and for all of us who live here.

Fire hall task force gets its marching orders North Frontenac Council - Oct. 9
by Jeff Green orth Frontenac Mayor Bud Clayton saved some time by directly appointing Councilor Gerry Martin to chair a task force to come up with a design and costing for a solution to the Ompah fire hall conundrum. Martin will come up with a list of task force members to be brought to Council for approval later this week. Councilor John Inglis asked Clayton why he had not been appointed to the task force as well, and Clayton said that if Inglis wants on, he could be on the task force as well. CAO Cheryl Robson will be the staff liaison to the task force. It will come up with its own terms of reference at its first meeting, which will then come back to council for approval. “The task force’s mandate will be threefold – to develop a design and cost of a 3,000 square foot fire hall with the money that is available, and if that is not possible, to develop a design for a smaller fire hall with the money that is available, or to bring back options about what we can do if we cannot afford to build a new fire hall at all,” Clayton said. There remain questions about how much money is available for a new building. $400,000 was earmarked for the project originally, but the cost of an Environmental Assessment, and the charges to the township from a failed attempt to do a joint project with Frontenac County, will come off that total. Questions about ATV run and road damages Council received a number of before and after photographs from Denis Bedard, which showed, according to Bedard, that “no severe damage was done” to Norcan Lake Lane during the fall ATV run, “although in several corners the gravel appeared to be loosened.” The firefighters who organize the fundraising ATV runs paid for damage to the lane after the spring run, and they said they would monitor the road during the fall run. Councilor Hunter pointed out that in some cases the before and after shots were not taken at the same location. Councilor Inglis, who told Council he has received a confidential complaint about damage from the ATV run from a resident on another road, said, “If it was my road I would be upset... When you do a fundraising activity, you don’t just collect money, you have to cover all your costs. One of the costs is putting things back exactly the way they were before the event.” Council decided there was ample time to consider what kinds of measures they want to see in place before the next scheduled ATV run in the spring of 2013.

he independent business owners of Harrowsmith would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Frontenac News for attending and reporting on the town's concerns regarding the relocation of the community mail boxes to Centennial Park. This was a true town hall meeting, with close to 200 citizens in attendance. Rev. Patsy Henry and the council at St. Paul's United Church were instrumental in the planning of this event They opened the doors to the church without charge. I would also like to thank Dawn Sieben, Chair of the Harrowsmith United Church Council, for helping with the photocopying, walking the village, talking with residents and hanging posters. Thanks to the Ontario Provincial Police, Hartington detachment, for attending and addressing safety issues; David Townsend, Executive Director, Southern Frontenac Community Services and Wayne Orr, CAO, Township of South Frontenac; as well as our council members McDougall and Robinson. Thanks also to Glen Baldock of Canada Post.

Many of the current services and programs SINCE 1970 offered for seniors are aimed at helping seniors remain comfortably in their own homes as long as possible. Family services assist township residents with housing (including fuel, rent, and repairs), food, tax returns and referral services. Council members thanked Townsend and his board chair, Joan Cameron, for their work.
Amendments to Burning By-law
Fire Chief Chesebrough addressed some recommended changes to the current burning by-law. Burning permits will no longer be issued, as the process only creates confusion. Instead, the details of defining and regulating open air burning will be clarified by the proposed updated by-law. Chesebrough recommended including over-the-counter fireworks in the level one fire ban and total fire bans, with the township retaining the right to authorize commercial fireworks displays on special occasions. Mayor Davison questioned the township’s ability to enforce a fireworks ban, asking, “How many fires have been started, in recent years, by fireworks?” “None.” was the reply by Cheseborough. The proposed by-law lists a variety of factors that are to be taken into account in the decision to declare a Total Fire Ban, including weather conditions and information from the MNR, Frontenac Park and the Fire Marshall. Councilor Mark Tinlin asked why fire ban signs were not being used. Chesebrough said that after a review in 2008, all signs were removed and replaced with information on
Correction –
In the article “Harrowsmith residents meet with Canada Post” in last week’s paper (issue #39 – October 4) it was erroneously reported that Brenda Crawford will be the local contact for Canada Post. It is Anne Elvins who is the contact. As well, a reader who had attended the meeting in Harrowsmith questioned the characterization of the attendees as “an angry, raucous crowd” because it suggested that the meeting was out of control at points, which was not the case. In retrospect, a more accurate wording would have been “a vocal, sometimes angry crowd” - JG

have switched to policing contracts in recent years.” Since the Sharbot Lake OPP detachment serves both North and Central Frontenac, Trépanier recommended that North Frontenac be approached to see if they are interested in pursuing a joint policing services contract if the price is right. “There is no cost to either township to pursue a policing contract cost analysis from the OPP,” Trépanier said. Mayor Janet Gtowksi said that since South Frontenac already has contract policing in place, they should also be approached to see if a county-wide contract might be feasible. Council gave its approval for the CAO to make inquiries into a policing contract. About six years ago, North Frontenac looked into a policing contract and found it was not cost effective, and about five years ago Addington Highlands switched from contract policing to status quo policing, also for cost reasons. Office closing All township services, including waste sites, will be closed for one day, on Thursday October 25, for a staff development exercise.

department. Currently one F150 truck is shared between the facilities coordinator, IT manager, and public works manager. With this demand the vehicle is often not available, and staff end up using their own cars and being paid mileage. Trépanier recommended purchasing a used truck for the building department, at an estimated purchase price of $14,000, with the money coming from the $150,000 in building permit purchases last month for the new school. Township to consider a policing contract The township has been seeking, and finally has received from the OPP, a breakdown of policing costs for the last three years. The cost in 2010 was $671,000 and in 2011 it was just over $700,000. Central Frontenac uses what the OPP calls status quo policing. The OPP provides the service according to their own protocols and availability of officers, and bills for the service that is provided. The other option that is available, and CAO Trépanier recommends exploring, is a formal policing contract. South Frontenac has a policing contract in place, and in his report, Trépanier said that “several townships of a similar size to Central Frontenac

In 1900, in the U.S., nearly one-third of all new babies never reached the age of five. The major diseases that took these children were whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. As well, women often died of ‘’childbirth fever”, a serious streptococcal infection of the vagina. One of the unsung heroes of medication history is hydrocortisone. It was discovered sixty years ago and has been a wonderful solution to people suffering from itchy and inflamed skin conditions. The drug is found in creams and ointments and is available without a prescription. Our pharmacists can advise you on the proper use of this product. Singing in a choir is good for your health. Scientific studies have proven that singers have longer lives, use fewer prescriptions, have better cognitive skills, better vision, volunteer more often and have longlasting marriages. One more thing: 93% of choir singers vote in elections!

Since its formation in 2005, Victoria’s Quilts Bolingbroke has distributed over 575 quilts to patients going through cancer treatment in our area. The members have provided comfort to these cancer sufferers and have contributed greatly to community spirit by providing companionship and an opportunity for people to work together on a worthwhile cause. The Bolingbroke branch has been an important partner to the hall, contributing to and undertaking several substantial fund-raising events to help with hall upkeep. However, with the continued success and growth of the branch, facilities at the hall were not able to keep up with their needs, either in size or flexibility of access. The members voted to move to a new location, which would allow growth in membership and unrestricted access to their quilting machine. We wish Ann Gunthorpe and the membership continued success in their endeavours, and thank them for their contribution to the community over the past several years! · The Saturday Seekers made a good start last week, and the group is expected to grow as more people find out about it.

Great grandparents are Stuart & Ruby McConnell. · Bonnie Weese's granddaughter Ginny, a
grade 8 student at Calvin Park Public School in Kingston made the headlines and TV news by organizing a protest called “Figure It Out” with the aim of raising awareness of the plight of students caught up in an adult issue and a plea for these adults to indeed figure it out. Ginny said that their white sloganed T-shirts pointed to peace and surrender and also to the fact that the students wanted to “give up and surrender” understanding why the adults in their lives had let them down, give up trying to understand the government's approach to using students as pawns in an adult battle, and give up wondering why students were being punished for the mistakes of teachers and government. As well she said that the party line of “putting students first act” was a misnomer. It's fantastic to have a social activist with roots in our area, since Ginny's family was one of the founding families of Kirk Kove. - Jean

Natural Heritage Study public meetings F by Julie Druker
rontenac County presented their newly minted Natural Heritage Study at two public meetings last week. The study’s aim is to identify a natural heritage system in the county. It was pinpointed as a “priority project” in the Frontenac ICSP [Integrated Community Sustainability Plan] and its results will be used as one of the foundation blocks for the county’s new Official Plan (OP) By adopting the Natural Heritage Study (NHS) into the County’s OP, the authors believe that the county will be better able
to determine policies for land use, environmental preservation, conservation and management, that will conform to the provincial policy statement. The NHS project manager Michael Enright, ecologist Alex Zeller and land use planner Rory Baksh made the presentation to a handful of listeners at the Sydenham Public Library on October 4 following a similar presentation in Sharbot Lake on Oct.3. Some of the over 14 components that were analyzed in the study were; deer and moose feeding/wintering habitats, trout sensitive lakes, bird nesting sites, woodlands,
Barbara Ann Scott in Cloyne R egarding the photo and article about Barbara Ann Scott in the recent issue of the News: Garry Drew’s memory of her opening the school is very interesting. This photo is of her in attendance at one of the Lumbermen’s Picnics held in Cloyne. This one was in 1947, which would fit in with Garry’s recollections. She must have had at least two official duties that day! Her presence at the picnic was a magnet for visitors; local
Alex Zeller, Michael Enright, Rory Baksh and Peter Young areas of natural and scientific interest, ecological corridors, wetlands, and areas of biodiversity. The proposed mapping that is included in the study marks off lakes and wetlands, including provincially significant wetlands, all of these having been established previously. As well, and it is this part of the mapping that was cause for concern at the meetings, the mapping includes two added features. One is a series of long, narrow yellow strips that are newly designated “ecological corridors”. The second are swaths of land marked off as “areas of biodiversity” which were designated by the report in order to ensure the county maintains “full ecological representation and capture as much of the different habitats and ecological communities within the Natural Heritage System as possible” These areas were created using the MARXAN GIS model, a computer-generated program that drew criticism from Gray Merriam, a retired professional landscape ecologist and former chair of the Frontenac County Stewardship Council. “I have two objections to the study and the MARXAN model that was used to create it,” Merriam said when interviewed following the two meetings. “First, regarding the corridors, there is no evidence to suggest that wildlife will in fact move along these corridors. And 2) listing certain defined areas of specific concern while ignoring the rest of the countryside in between these places will
not take into account the landscape in general, resulting in a lack of stewardship for all of these in between areas.” Merriam said that the MARXAN model was designed specifically for suburban planning in more densely populated areas, areas that have only smaller isolated spots of natural environment left, not areas like Frontenac County with huge wild natural areas. “Frontenac County is not suburbia so it does not make sense to use a model specifically developed for suburban planning. The study perhaps makes sense in the southernmost portion of the county but further north where the majority of land is wild, this kind of model does not make sense,” he said. The authors of the study proposed three possible options for how the study can be incorporated into county planning. Two of these would place limitations on development based on some of the designations in the plan, while the third would leave those kinds of decisions in the purview of the local municipalities. Project manager Peter Young said the next step in the process will be to take the information gathered from the two public meetings and then go to County Council in December. Young invites anyone who did not attend the public meetings to look at the study online at www.frontenaccounty.ca, and he invites their feedback.

“Here come the cows” R
ehearsals are well underway for the Bellrock Schoolhouse Theatre’s premier production of “Here Come The Cows – or – Never Say MOO In Bellrock”. This melodrama is a comedy in the style as seen on the Carol Burnett Show. It features 11 fine Verona and area actors, directed by Doug MacIntyre. The story is of a very hot, very dry Wild West town of Bellrock suffering from drought and a lack of cold hard cash. The bad guys (“Boo” for Dick Miller and his able accomplice, played by Connie Shibley) try to steal what little money there is. The good guys (“Hooray” for Mark Veno and his soon-to-bewed gal, played by Jennifer Veno) thwart the efforts of the baddies. Other roles include the poor shop owner and her “daughter”, a grouchy prospector, the sheriff (played by Peter Platenius), and local townsfolk. Great fun is had by all in the process - except the
bad guys! And all loose ends are neatly tied together for a happy ending. There is no doubt you will enjoy yourselves and leave the theatre with a satisfying grin. The play, including a sumptuous ham/scalloped potatoes/desert dinner, will be presented at the Bellrock Community Hall on Leveque Road in Bellrock on Saturday Oct. 13th and 20th at 6 pm. Tickets for both dinner and the play are $15 per person and can be obtained at Verona Drug Mart, Rona Verona, Asselstine Hardware and Family Farms in Verona and Ella’s Bakery and Café in Harrowsmith - or by calling 613-374-2344.

What’s Happening at the Adult Learning Centre in Sharbot Lake F
all is upon us, and with the kids back in school, it’s a good time for adults to consider taking a little time to do some learning themselves. So check out the Fall schedule that the Adult Learning Centre partnership of Northern Connections Adult Learning Centres, Sharbot Lake High School and Shabot Obaadjiwan Algonquins have planned. • The adult credit program has started back up for those who want to work on individual high school credit courses or want to get the rest of the credits needed for their diploma. Mrs. Lynn Young is on-site Tuesday and Friday mornings to help people with their courses. • We are planning an Introduction to Spreadsheets workshop (Excel and Google) to run two afternoons a week during October and November. We also provide individual training on most computer software. Just come in and set up
a plan with our instructors. • If you have a small or home-based business or you are thinking about working for yourself, come out and join us for the “Developing Your Own Business” workshop series. Using a variety of teaching tools such as computers, internet, video, discussion, and presentations, we’ll cover: whether it is right for you, where to start, getting your idea to reality, keeping things balanced, and using computers and the internet to help your business. The series is on Tues. & Thurs. from 10am to 2:30pm, from now to Nov. 1. • We enjoyed a beautiful Autumn Plant/Medicine Walk in Sharbot Lake on Saturday, Sept. 29. We had a casual walk and learned about some of our local plants and how they can be used from our knowledgeable guides: Shirley Peruniak, Kathy Martin and Danka Brewer.

Farmers market regulars invited to “Come in Out of the Cold”
by Julie Druker endors at the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market wrapped up their official season at the beach on Saturday and shoppers enjoyed a wide array of related products and produce including fresh pumpkins, pies tarts, turkeys and much more. Though it was last official market day at the beach have no fear loyal shoppers! Many of the vendors will continue to make their products available during the upcoming winter months at a special market event at Oso hall in
V
Sharbot Lake called “Come in Out of the Cold”. Regular market vendor Peggy Green, who organized the kids’ booth at the beach, said the goal of the ongoing winter event is to continue not just the shopping aspect of the market but also the social aspect. “We wanted to continue the tradition of people in the community having a chance to get together, visit, have a snack and shop as well. In the winter months there are not as many opportunities for people to get out and visit in the community so this is a chance for that to continue, ” Peggy said. Organizers will also be offering workshops on a number of different topics at the hall.
There will be a kids’ activity table and activities for adults as well. Visitors just wanting a place to visit with friends and a place to sit down and enjoy a snack are encouraged to stop by. Funds raised from vendor and workshop fees will go towards helping the market to become self sustainable in the upcoming season. For more information about “Come in Out of the Cold” and upcoming workshops visit the Sharbot Lake Farmers Markets website www.slfm.handsonharvest.ca. The Saturday dates for “Come in Out of the Cold” are January 5 & 19, February 2 & 16, March 2 & 16 and April 6 & 20. The hours are from 9:30-11:30 am.

Township Fire Numbers in Chaos
The
Fire Chief Chesebrough reported that the township’s civic address numbering system has not been well maintained, with the result that there is a lack of consistency between the property identifiers used by MPAC, the township, and Bell canada. This is complicated by the township having five Boundary Roads, and between five and ten different Mill Streets and Church Streets. In his 2013 budget submission, Chesebrough will be addressing a plan to get the system brought up to date and coordinated.
