North Frontenac Essential Services Fair in Cloyne R

Frontenac County paramedics l-r, Paul Kalnins, Derek MacGillivray, Tamara DeVries with “Sim Man” at the North Frontenac Essential Services Fair in Cloyne

esidents in the north had a chance to learn more about the essential services offered by various service groups in the area at a special fair held at the Barrie hall in Cloyne on July 12 . Represented at the fair were paramedics from Frontenac County, who were showing off Simulation Man - also known as “Sim Man”. Sim Man is part of their mobile Simulation Lab and is used to help train and educate paramedics. Sim Man is able to breath and talk, shows various pulses and respiratory sounds, can be hooked up to a monitor and shocked back to life. “Basically any scenario that you can think of, he can simulate,“ said Rena Cooke, a part time primary care paramedic with Frontenac County. “We use Sim Man for out of the ordinary scenarios like very traumatic car accidents, severe burns and patients with no vital signs. Fortunately we don't run into those situations very often but we still train using Sim Man so that we know how to respond in that kind of situation.” Cooke and the other paramedics demonstrated to attendees how Sim Man is used and also answered other questions from the public. One couple wondered, if they were traveling away from home and used their cell phone to call 911 how they could be located. “I told them that the call would go to the nearest communications centre and that if they

could provide a building name or street location, they could be found.” Also present at the fair were members of the Frontenac and Lanark OPP detachments, who gave tours of their Mobile Support Unit, which is used for calls for missing persons, drug eradication and hostage taking. It is also used as a main command post in rural areas when cutting edge technology is needed. T he unit is equipped with computers, cameras, lighting, and touch screen TVs that allow for quick briefings on situations that unfold in rural areas. The truck is 30 feet long, diesel powered with generators and it is sometimes used during OPP RIDE programs. Members of the North Frontenac and Kaladar/Barrie Fire and Rescue service were also on hand. They invited guests to learn how to properly put out a fire with an extinguisher using the PASS method, which stands for Pin, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep. They also demonstrated other equipment, including a rescue van equipped with a jaws of life, a front line pumper truck, and fire prevention goodies for the kids. Inside the Barrie hall members of the OPP presented their Safeguard Ontario program, which teaches residents how to better design their homes, cottages, and businesses to prevent break and enters.

he Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is the federal agency that has conducted an expensive (and unsuccessful) battle against the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) for over 10 years. The borer was discovered in the Windsor/Detroit area in 2002. In 2004, in an attempt to contain the existing pest population, the CFIA removed approximately 150,000 ash trees, creating an ash-free zone in southwestern Ontario between Essex County and the municipality of Chatham-Kent, where the borer had not yet been detected. It was hoped that this would act as a barrier to the continued spread of the borer, but it was detected beyond this zone in January 2005. Since then, the CFIA has adopted a less aggressive strategy, which aims at restricting the sale of ash firewood and logs from infected areas to non-infected areas. After the borer was found near Mountain Grove last year, Frontenac County was added to that list of restricted areas, joining the golden horseshoe around Toronto, as well as the Ottawa region and Leeds-Grenville. Now, recognizing that the infestation has likely expanded through Eastern and Central Ontario even if it has not been confirmed in all regions, the CFIA is proposing that the restricted area be expanded as far north as Sudbury, Cochrane, Temiskaming in Ontario, Rouyn-Noranda and the northern reaches of the Pontiac in Quebec, and well past Montreal to the east.

With no restrictions on the transport of ash products within such a vast region, which includes the bulk of the urban markets in both Ontario and Quebec, the restricted zones will cease to have an impact. In a report to Frontenac County Council, Joe Gallivan, the manager for sustainability planning, said the “CFIA has determined that because of the wide spread of the EAB they were unable to control it further through regulation and are withdrawing from Southern Ontario. Without any preservation plans in place, it is predicted that the Ash will be wiped out in southern Ontario from EAB destruction in the next 15 to 20 years.” In response, the Ontario Urban Forestry Council is proposing that the federal and provincial governments be approached to provide financial/managerial support for a strategy that is being put in place in urban centres. There is an effective treatment for trees before it is infected or while it is still in the early stages of infestation. An insecticide called TreeAzin, injected near the base of a tree, has been shown to be effective. For urban foresters, TreeAzin, can also be a costeffective option. The price of a treatment is dropping to the $200 range, and homeowners and/or municipalities are facing costs in the $600 to remove an infected tree. There is no solution for stands of ash in rural areas, but Gallivan is urging Frontenac

n an effort to educate city folk and nonfarmers about where their food comes from, the Rotary Club of Kingston held their second annual Rural Awareness Day event on July 14. The event was organized by the Rotary Club’s Rural committee and was headed up by Frontenac 4H Club leader and Rotarian Darlene Clement with the assistance of Neal Dick, Jim Perry, Denny Buchanan and Keith McLean. The tour’s first stop was at Sun Harvest Greenhouses, where visitors toured their hydroponic tomato growing operation. The second stop was the Cumpson family’s Sonset Farm in Inverary where guests were treated to a tractor wagon tour of the 750-acre organic farm, a walking tour of their organic dairy barn, and up close and personal visits with a number diary and beef cattle. Guests also had a chance to see pigs and chickens and to pet one very tame orphaned sheep. They toured Sonset’s farm gate store located right beside the main farm house, where the Cumpsons sell a wide assortment of homegrown meat, eggs, spelt flour and seasonal veggies. The store also contains a plethora of educational materials about the importance of local food and local organic farming. Also on site at the event was Maple, a larger than life artificial dairy cow, on which guests had a chance to test their milking abilities. Ongoing games took place throughout the day and included tug-o’-war games and sack races, all played on the green grassy fields surrounding the picturesque property. Local bee keeper Bill Lake Jr. was on hand with a

Land purchase for northern ambulance base to be finalised this week

july 18, 2013

by Jeff Green

orth Frontenac will be getting an ambulance base after all, although not in the location that many had originally hoped for. In a report to Frontenac County Council, Chief of Paramedic Services Paul Charbonneau confirmed that all conditions have been waived and the County will be purchasing a lot located at Road 509 and Robertsville Road for $20,000. An ambulance post will be constructed on that lot, for use by a 12-hour ambulance that is currently housed at the North Frontenac township garage at Lavant station, 15 or so kilometres to the north-west. The location fits within the recommended location for a northern base that was included in a report by the IBI group of consultants several years ago. The IBI report said that a location in the vicinity of the Ardoch Road and Road 509 would serve both the population in east and central North Frontenac while being close enough to Highway 7 to respond to traffic accidents in the Wemyss to Arden corridor. Politicians from North Frontenac, noting that the Ardoch Road/Road 509 junction is located in Central Frontenac, and that response times in the Ompah area would be slower once a base was moved to the south, objected to the IBI recommendation. An alternate plan, which would have seen a base in the village of Ompah in conjunction with a new fire hall and the relocating of the Parham base to a location in Sharbot Lake, was chosen over the IBI recommendation. When the joint project between Frontenac County and North Frontenac fell apart last year over costing, Frontenac Paramedic Services reverted to Plan A. The location on Road 509 at Roberstville Road is about 2 kilometres north of the Ardoch Road, but it is located in North Frontenac, about 200 metres from the border with Central Frontenac. It is also located right across the road from the former Robertsville mine, which was the site of an occupation against uranium exploration in the summer of 2007.

An agreement to purchase was signed on May 1, subject to a hydro-geological study demonstrating there is enough potable water on the site, an environmental site assessment and a geo-technical study. Those studies have been completed, at the cost of the County, and the purchase is going through.

The timeframe for the construction of the base has not been announced, but the construction cost is included in the 2013 Frontenac County budget. Money for the construction has been held in a dedicated reserve fund by the county for some years.

K&P Trail on the move north

ith the awarding of a contract for the construction of a bridge over Hardwood Creek at the south end of Verona, Frontenac County officials are hoping to have the trail completed between the border with the City of Kingston at Orser Road, all the way to Verona Street by the end of the year. According to the figures in the 2009 Trail implementation plan, that will make the Frontenac County portion of the trail 20.4 kilometres long. The first section of the trail, from Orser Road to Harrowsmith, opened last October. Anne Marie Young, Frontenac County Manager for Sustainable Development, has overseen the development of the trail for a number of years. “I am very hopeful that we will be able to complete the trail

Arden Road man still pursuing his case by Jeff Green

ast month, the OPP complaints commission began a review of a case that was reported on by the News in November and again in April. Bob Srigley, of the Arden-Tamworth Road, was transported to Napanee hospital by ambulance on November 6 of 2012, after an incident that took place near his home. Mr. Srigley, who is on a disability pension, suffered broken ribs, a broken L4 vertebrae and hearing loss in the incident. At the time, Srigley alleged that his injuries came about as the result of actions taken by two off-duty OPP officers, who were at a hunt camp across from Mr. Srigley’s home. In April, it was reported in the News that the OPP would not be laying charges in the case, much to Srigley's chagrin. “I am still suffering from my injuries,” he said at the time, “and am finding it difficult to get around and maintain a healthy household.” The OPP complaints commission has not yet released the results of their investigation, although that is pending. Mr. Srigley said that has been seeking legal counsel for a private prosecution in the case. He can be reached at bobbygrizzmcguyver@gmail.com

up to and past Hardwood Creek this year,” said Young. “We are going to be contracting for trail work shortly.” The contract for the construction of the bridge over Hardwood Creek has been awarded to HR Doornekamp Construction for $124,930, which is within the budgeted amount for the project that was included in the 2013 County budget. In order for the trail to reach the Hardwood Creek Bridge, however, it must pass through some land that is owned by Bob Leonard, a farmer and quarry owner at Hartington. The purchase of land from Leonard has been delayed several times, and last year the County initiated expropriation proceedings against Leonard for the railway bed that cuts through his pasture.

Court report

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court - Monday, July 15 SINCE 1970

Short summer session

ven with a break to discuss one youth matter, the July court session in Sharbot Lake lasted only 38 minutes. All of the items were deferred. First appearance – Kirk Davis, 51, charged with mischief to property causing damage over $5,000, appeared in court with his lawyer. The lawyer said a resolution meeting is being sought with the crown before the August court date. The matter was adjourned until August 19. Ongoing - Stephen Cowan, 64, charged with possession/use/ trafficking in an illegal substance, was set for a final adjournment last month. However, his lawyer is now asking for further disclosure, and the case was adjourned again, until August 19, Mr McNaughton, representing the Federal Crown, said that if the case ultimately goes to trial, it will take one day to conduct.

Scott Godfrey, 20, who faces two charges of theft under $5,000 in a case that concerns the removal of trees from privately and publicly held lands in Central Frontenac, will have two months to pay restitution and will return on September 16. Charges of possession and production of an illegal substance against Scott Graham, 23, and Joseph Eagles, 25, were withdrawn at the request of the crown. The two men satisfied the Crown’s requirements for diversion. Randy Hickey, 24, and Jedidiah Hickey, 18, both charged with break and enter and possession of stolen property valued under $5,000, as well as Zachary Hamilton, 19, who is charged with break and enter, were present in court and each of them has legal representation lined up. The lawyer for Hamilton is requesting further disclosure of the Crown’s case. The three men will return on August 19. A fourth jointly-accused man, Chase Mallen,

I live here; I see weekend to weekend, week to week, day to day. Throughout the entire year. Sometimes the renters coming in are as nice as anyone you could meet. Sometimes, it's lock the doors and phone the OPP. Neighbours’ fields are driven through, things disappear, boats get swamped, property gets trespassed on. There is belligerence, confrontation, other property owners’ access blocked. A structure burnt to the ground. This issue is not just isolated to Big Clear or Kennebec. It's happening all around. When 20 or 30 or 50 people descend on one small area, bad things can happen to people who should have a reasonable expectation to enjoyment of their property. I personally could care less if someone chooses to off set tax, hydro and maintenance costs by renting, allowing people to use - what ever.

Are you or someone you know Métis?

At this time of year, our heels often become quite rough from going barefoot often. Foot files are available to smooth the skin but have to be used with care. Pumice stones are much safer to use. Diabetics should be particularly cautious in their foot care. If you are stung by a bee, the stinger may still be in your skin. Take a credit card (not tweezers!) and scrape the stinger carefully off the skin. Pulling it out with tweezers might release more venom, causing more swelling and pain. Our pharmacy staff’s goal is to get to know you and fulfill your prescription needs in a fast, personal and caring manner. Give our brand of pharmacy a try!

It’s usually women who worry that their biological clock is ticking when they desire to have a family. However, men should also be concerned about their own clock. The age of the new father can have an effect on the health of their children. It’s important that if you are a new father-to-be, that you be fit physically and mentally to give your children the best chance of a healthy life. Genetics and cancer are closely linked. U.S. scientists have discovered mutations in several genes that might be involved with esophageal cancer. The hope is that this knowledge will help develop treatments to prevent the disease from occurring. The cure for Cancer could lie in our genes.

The Faithful Friends of Bon Echo Park 1988-2013 By Derek Maggs, Executive Director 2013 marks a significant anniversary for the Friends of Bon Echo Provincial Park. Twenty-five years ago a small group of volunteers initiated an organization that has impacted Park visitors ever since. Their commitment to preserve the natural heritage and cultural history of the Park has resulted in innovative programs which hundreds of thousands of Park visitors have enjoyed. Impetus for the Friends group came from Park Superintendent Ed Buck who approached the Pioneer Club of Cloyne asking them to consider the formation of a support group. The signing of the official agreement between the Friends and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources took place in a ceremony in September 1988 at the Dollywood Visitor Centre. The Friends recognized the many assets of this beautiful Park. The diversity of its flora and fauna, its pristine beaches and waterfronts, the majestic eastern white pines and the grandeur of Mazinaw Rock with its geological history, 900-year-old cedars and the pictographs left by earlier inhabitants attract over 180,000 visitors annually. Various approaches aimed at increasing appreciation of the Park and the preservation of its heritage have been utilized by the Friends. Their financial support has enabled the Natural Heritage Education (NHE) program to double its staff each summer. NHE staff offer daily children’s programs, guided hikes, interpretive boat tours of Mazinaw Lake and Rock on the Wanderer, amphitheatre programs including unique presentations

and the publication of trail guides. Together all programs attract and contribute to making Bon Echo Provincial Park one of Ontario’s best. The Friends took over the Mugwump ferry service in 1989 allowing visitors access to the Cliff Top Trail where the breathtaking panoramic overview beckons. A year later the Friends commenced operation of the Wanderer, providing an interpretive boat tour highlighting the area history, the geology, flora, fauna, and fungi of Mazinaw Rock and a close-up view of the native pictographs. The Wanderer and the Mugwump currently provide interpretive excursions for over 16,000 visitors each summer. In the early 1990s the Friends operated the canoe concession partnering with two local business partners to provide another manner to allow visitors to enjoy the lake and approach Mazinaw Rock. This is currently operated by Bon Echo Canoe, owned by Bruce White. For the last ten years Bruce has donated canoes to the Friends for their annual raffle. The Greystones Gift and Book Shop opened in Dollywood Visitor Centre in 1989 and moved to its present location in 1993. The shop specializes in merchandise chosen to enhance the appreciation of nature. An Art Gallery was added in 1996 to display original art of Canadian nature and wildlife. In 2006 the Friends financed major renovations in Greystones. The structure was strengthened and expanded while maintaining the historic ambiance of this classic century cottage. In 2007 the Friends named the gallery the Colin Edwards Memorial Art Gallery in recognition of Colin’s long-time service as Director, volunteer and artist. The highlight for many is the annual Bon Echo Art Exhibition and Sale. Initiated in 1995, an active committee meets regularly to orchestrate this event. The art show continues the rich heritage of original art left to us by the aboriginals in the Mazinaw pictographs, the Group of Seven who painted in the 1920 - 30s and the many artists who continue to capture the beauty of the

The Friends offer a BBQ lunch at the Lagoon every Saturday & Sunday, noon - 2 pm up to Labour Day. creation through their handiwork. Over 100 volunteers orchestrate this three day event featuring food, live musical entertainment, Sciensational Sssnakes!! and children’s activities. The quality of the juried original art continues to bring more and more of the public to the show. A strong component of the Friends’ work is composed of education relating to the Park’s heritage. The Friends have published two books: Massanoga:The Art of Bon Echo (1999) and The Rock: Bon Echo Provincial Park’s Silent Sentinel (2006). The former captures the rich history of the many artists who have painted Bon Echo and the latter serves to alert readers to the importance of this micro geographical area. In the 1990s researchers discovered that Mazinaw Rock was home to bonsai-like ancient cedars, some of which are over 900 years old. With the aim of providing protection for the cliff and its rare species the Friends launched the “Adopt-an-Ancient Cedar” project. Numerous small plaques were installed in Dollywood Visitor Centre in recognition of the gifts, often in memory of a loved one. In excess of $10,000 was raised over

ten years. This enabled the Friends to produce the full-colour edition of The Rock: Bon Echo Provincial Park’s Silent Sentinel. Funds have gone into a number of other projects that include producing trail guides and educational resources, the Peregrine Falcon release, the restoration of the Cliff Top Trail, Amphitheatre programming, most displays in the Visitor Centre, new trail head signs, interpretive cairns and kiosks, the restoration of the Greystones Cottage and the provision of educational bursaries for local high school graduates and Park student staff. Eight years ago the Friends initiated twice-weekly barbecues at Main Beach. As this operation grew it was moved to the Lagoon shelter and is now providing a much anticipated service every Saturday and Sunday. The annual raffle has featured attractive donated prizes, all of which relate to Park activities. The Friends have applied for selective government grants and corporate assistance to increase their activities and projects. continued on page 7

Old Man Luedecke charms in Sharbot Lake

Chris Luedecke (left) and Joel E. Hunt by Julie Druker uno award winner Old Man Luedecke (Chris Luedeke) entertained music lovers at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn at an intimate and up beat show on July 13. Luedecke, who is a master banjo player /singer / songwriter, was joined on stage by side man Joel E. Hunt of Newfoundland, who more than ably accompanied him on both mandolin and fiddle. Luedecke, who hails form Chester, Nova Scotia, eased into the first set, opening with his song Jonah and the Whale. In his second song, titled The Joy of Cooking, Luedecke quickened his pace and hit the ground bubbling with his own ode to bacon, a tune with a quick, rapid fire, plucky rhythm that manages to find an innovative rhyme for bacon – “If I’m not mistaken, the answer's bacon.” Luedecke's upbeat originals are friendly and fresh and have for me a certain Paul Simon-esque charm; just substitute bluegrass for Simon's African folk leanings. Couple that with his natural knack for story telling and it's no wonder his

Friends of Bon Echo - continued

Recent initiatives include a drive to increase corporate membership. This has seen local business support grow from two members to over 30. Increased cooperation with corporate partners has enabled us to serve visitors better. Our Trail Ambassadors program has encouraged enjoyment of Park trails through improved facilities and signage. A major project this anniversary summer is the renovation of the amphitheatre seating and building/stage. The greatest asset of the Friends of Bon Echo is its people. The indispensible resource of faithful volunteers and members is continuing to be fundamental to the many facets of Friends initiatives and accomplishments.

Sharbot Lake audience was completely won over. He engaged the crowd not only musically but by bookcasing his tunes with personal tales of his young family life; how farmers' markets and root veggies are now the foregoing concerns for himself and his family - new found interests that have helped to inspire his most recent recording. He played a wealth of new material from his fifth album, Tender is the Night, which features cover art by his wife. Tender is the Night is already making waves and was recently long listed for the Polaris prize, a $25,000 award for innovative Canadian recordings. He played the upbeat “I'm Fine (I am, I am)’ a song he described as “not so much about surfing as about getting drunk on the beach”, and he slowed things down with “Little Stream of Whiskey”, a Doc Watson inspired tune that showcased Luedecke's impressive falsetto talents, and foreshadowed some all-out yodeling later in the show. He explained that his “Song for Ian Tyson” was inspired by a Tyson line he heard in a documentary, “I'm like an old wolf in a leg trap” a line that Luedecke felt justified an original song. He later played the title track Proof of Love from his 2008 award-winning album, and with it cemented his new fan base in Sharbot Lake. The White family, owners and operators of the Sharbot Lake Country Inn and the Crossing Pub, are continuing to bring a stellar line up of Canadian talent from near and far to local music lovers this summer. Coming up, award-winning blues man Jack de Keyser will be playing an intimate show on July 24. For more information visit sharbotlakeinn.com

OBITUARY

Don & Marj Percy

Congratulations on receiving your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Registered Nurse) from Laurentian University (St. Lawrence College, Kingston, ON) on June 14, 2013. Hard work pays off and we are very proud of you. Love, Dave, Nathan and Jacob Sauvé

WESTLAND, Lise

(19 July 1917 - 16 July 2013) Passed away peacefully, at her residence in Knowlton (Quebec), in her sleep. Lise and Cor (1918 - 2006) were proud residents of Sharbot Lake who together made a number of important contributions to the community. When asked by one of her grandchildren just last week “where was home?” Lise had answered without hesitation. In a life that took her from the Netherlands to Indonesia, then back to the Netherlands and onwards to Quebec City and Ottawa, home was right here in the village. The cottage was where they hosted family and friends; the “yellow house” on Highway 38 was their place in town. Together they made Sharbot Lake the global headquarters of the World Leisure and Recreation Association. To remember Lise there will be an open house on July 28, over the lunch hour (12:00 pm to 2:00 pm), at the cottage at 1139 Polar Bear Lane. Those who plan to attend are asked to send a confirming email to rwestland@rogers.com or leave a message at 613-279-2143.

Smith After a long battle with cancer, Kenneth John Smith passed away at the age of 61 at Trillium Ridge in Kingston on July 12, 2013. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer (Eliott) and Jacqueline, his wife Bernadette-Anne David, his sisters Marilyn Meeks (Archie), Sylvia Powers (Bill), and Judi Fox, and mother Joyce. Visitation begins at 1 pm Saturday, July 20 at Goodfellow’s Funeral Home in Parham, with memorial service to follow at 2 pm, interment at Mountain Grove Cemetery. Donations can be made to the charity of your choice.

Soccer season is Job training opportunity for here! future builders T Y

By Lynette Whan he Central Frontenac Soccer Association season starts up with the first games on Monday July 29. Coaches are making calls to their players to let them know details of the teams and the schedules. All games will be held in Parham at Hinchinbrooke Public School field this year due to the construction at the new school in Sharbot Lake. Our divisions are made up of Squirts (3-4 years), Atoms (5 – 8 years) and Mosquitoes (9 – 13 years). We unfortunately did not have enough players register to make the Bantam division this year. Call for Adult Players - We are looking for players who are interested in playing in a 13+ league (13 – 100 years!). We are looking for adults who are interested in playing in this league as well. Games would be held Mondays and Wednesdays from about 8pm – 8:45pm in Parham. This is immediately following the kids’ game times so any parents at the fields could jump on the field afterwards and their kids can cheer them on! This would be a fun, recreational league, and for all abilities. Anyone interested, please contact bradlynwhan@frontenac.net or call 613-279-2366. Games would start Monday July 29 if there is enough interest. **New** The CFSA now has a Facebook Group. On the group site you can get the registration form and updates and we have a website now too: centralfrontenacsoccer.webs.com

Cloyne Studio Tour

Carla Mediema was one of three artists in the Cloyne area who offered art lovers a peek into their creative work and work spaces for the annual Cloyne Studio Tour, which took place on July 12, 13 & 14. Carla, who is an accomplished multi-media artist, had for sale a wide range of her creations in a wide variety of mediums. Her home studio, which is located beside a beautiful pond and surrounded by abundant flower gardens, was one of just two studios on the annual tour. The other two participating artists were husband and wife team Gaile and Trevor Bethell, a painter and photographer respectively, who also invited the public in for a visit. Those who missed the tour can contact Carla at 613-3368860, and the Bethells at 613-336-8691. Carla Mediema and Gaile Bethell will also be participating in the Bon Echo Art Exhibition July 26 - 28 (see page 8).

Swim of Hope July 27 F by Mike Procter

or the 5th year Theresa, Becki and Katie Procter will swim 3km across Sharbot Lake to raise money and awareness for cancer prevention and research. The three sisters, who were born and raised in Sharbot Lake, began the annual swim after they moved away and were no longer able to participate in local cancer events due to work or school schedules. After losing close family members to cancer, the three try to do whatever they can to help others. Two years ago Katie swam 3 weeks after giving birth to her first child. This year, Katie will be almost 6 months pregnant but is still planning to swim if her doctor gives her the all clear. She will be cheered on by her two-year-old daughter, Abigail. Becki’s employer, Cooperators Insurance in Mississauga, gives her a paid day off to recognize her efforts to help others. Theresa is the instigator and looks after all the organizational work and liaising with the Cancer Society. The girls will be swimming on Saturday, July 27 , entering the water near the Sharbot Lake Provincial Park at 10am and plan to arrive at the Oso beach at about 11:30 am. Plan to attend the beach on the morning of the 27th and help cheer them on. Donations can be made at the Farmers Market or call Mike Procter 613-279-2572 or on line at http://convio.cancer.ca/goto/hopeswim2013

This was the Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Rural Awareness Day, which was begun last year in memory of Larry Ritchie, a long time Rotarian who believed strongly in the importance of supporting and promoting rural farming and farmers. 4H leader Darlene Clement, who grew up on a diary farm near Inverary and currently leads numerous 4H groups, initiated the event. She said it helps to educate kids

about where their food comes from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just wanted to have a day to celebrate rural farm life and rural farming. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that people appreciate all of the work that local farmers do and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always shocked at how so many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where their food comes from. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that farming is hard work and that it is 24/7. We want to encourage people to buy as much locally produced food as possible to support their local farmers.â&#x20AC;?

She said the tours help people who have no connection to a farm to see how they operate, the investment and hard work involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event is great way for people to connect to farmers and to put a face on the local farming business,â&#x20AC;? she said. Over 130 visitors enjoyed the day, including one special guest, Arada Limsirichai of Thailand, who is a foreign exchange student being sponsored by the Kingston Rotary Club. She was impressed by the difference between farming here in South Frontenac compared to her village, Nakhon Nayok, which is located in central Thailand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Thailand farmers concentrate on usually just one or two products; here farmers do many
