First ever Boogie/Country Jamboree a hit in Bellrock by Julie Druker oming up with a unique fundraiser can be a difficult task for even the most creative types. Not so for Michelle Sigsworth and Ted Lalonde, the two people responsible for brainstorming the latest fundraiser at the Bellrock community hall, Bellrock’s first ever Boogie, which attracted a crowd of close to 150 on September 7. What accounted for the sizable crowd - apart from the perfect sunshine, the hall canteen’s home-baked goodies, the barbequed wieners and cotton candy - were the top-notch country bands that took to the outdoor hay wagon stage and entertained the listeners, many of whom sported cowboy hats and lounged atop the hay stack seating provided by Carl Grant of Grant Farms in Bellrock, who also provided the stage. Credit for the stellar roster of country talent goes to 26-year-old event organizer Ted Lalonde, who is also lead singer and guitarist with the band Texas Tuxedo and played at the event. Ted grew up in Verona and now lives in nearby Yarker. He has been playing music since he was just wee lad, when his grandfather Alvin Dafoe taught him how to play the spoons. He is now a well-known face in Kingston’s country music scene. La-
londe not only offered up his own talents, but as a professional on the scene he was able to attract the impressive list of solid country crooners from in and around Kingston who joined him onstage. They included Nashville recording artist Adam Knapp and his band Kickback along with a number of closer to home bands, which included Kingston radio personality and musician Jeff Code and the Silver Wings, Bob Goodberry and Chuck D’Aoust. Lalonde and Sigsworth had approached the community hall association with the idea of holding a country jamboree fundraiser. Coupled with Lalonde’s ability to gather the talent, Sigsworh added her own signature to the event. She had cowboy hats for sale for a reasonable price, which buyers were encouraged to decorate to their own personal specifications. The event was free and guests were invited to make a free will donation, which in the end raised over $600 for the hall. The funds will go towards upgrading and furnishing the Bellrock community playground and park with new park benches and picnic tables. Bob Brown, treasurer of the Bellrock Community Hall Association, was thrilled with the turnout. “This kind of event not only brings in members of the village but also attract
C
Bellrock Boogie/Country Jamboree organizers Michelle Sigsworth and Ted Lalonde individuals and families from the surrounding areas as well. This event was such an overwhelming success that we are definitely planning to do it again.” Lalonde and Sigsworth are also hoping to see the event become a regular annual event but Ted Lalonde has even bigger plans than
that. He said that he hopes to hold a number of similar, smaller jamborees at the hall on an ongoing basis. “We were very pleased with the turnout and were really happy to see so many families come out to enjoy it. We’re sure that other similar events would be as well attended.”
Defiant Gutowski sues fellow councilors for defamation asking $1 million in damages
B

ack in May, David Jones, a member of Frontenac County Council from Frontenac Islands, put forward an unusual motion. The motion claimed that Janet Gutowski, the county warden, had breached her oath of office by “uttering promises and rewards in an effort to conspire with Staff to move County Councillors to vote ‘in a biased, corrupt, or any other improper manner’”. The motion then resolved that county council “rescind all the privileges of the office immediately”. It also directed that “Councillor Gutowski’s peddling of political favours” be referred to the Minister of Municipal Affairs, and asked the Township of Central Frontenac to appoint a replacement “as soon as possible” In speaking to his motion, Jones said that the influence peddling he was referring to took place earlier this spring, after council had rejected the 2013 County budget in April by a 6-3 vote. Jones said that he received an email from a “member of council” (later confirmed to have been North Frontenac Mayor Bud Clayton) and that in the email it was asserted that Warden Gutowski offered to cut the Fairmount Home budget by $130,000 and would step down as warden in exchange for a yes vote by Clayton. For his part, Clayton later told the News that Gutowski had never promised him that the Fairmount budget would be cut, although Clayton did meet with Fairmount Home staff in April to talk about their budget, a meeting that Gutowski attended via teleconference. Clayton did vote in favour of the 2013 budget on May 2, which was approved in a 7-2 vote.
“At that point, I thought we needed to get a budget passed,” he told the News later. Even though Clayton’s account of the contents of his email differed from that of Jones, Bud Clayton, along with Jones, Dennis Doyle and John McDougall all supported motion by Jones on May 15 . When the motion was approved, Janet Gutowski did not vacate the chambers. Instead she carried on chairing the meeting. As CAO Liz Savill explained to Jones when he asked why this was happening, under the Municipal Act Council does not have the jurisdiction to remove one of their fellow councilors. She said she would follow through with the referral to the minister. For her part, Gutowski said she would be consulting her lawyer A month later, a lawyer’s letter was sent to the four councilors who had supported the ‘influence peddling’ motion, asking them to apologize and rescind the motion, and saying if they did not, legal action would be taken. Last week, as Council was about to meet in a Committee of the Whole session in order to hear a presentation about a Council Code of Conduct, three of those in attendance, Frontenac Islands Mayor Doyle, John McDougall from South Frontenac, and Bud Clayton, were presented with brown paper envelopes that contained a notice of claim issued by the Registrar of the Ottawa Court House. David Jones was not at the meeting and was subsequently served at his home. The claim, which was submitted by an Ottawa lawyer, Keith MacLaren, calls for “General and Special Damages for defamation in the amount of $1,000,000”. It says that the defendants “accused the
Plaintiff publicly of peddling political favours” and that those “defamatory words demean the Plaintiff in her profession or calling.” It also says that the “Defendants knew, at the time the defamatory words were spoken, that the words were untrue”, and that the defendants “acted in bad faith, with malice aforethought.”

Public cheers as CF Council votes to remain as is by Julie Druker
C
heers and applause echoed through Oso Hall as a motley crew of attendees at a public meeting on Tuesday night, September 10, showed their support for Central Frontenac council's final decision to keep the council “as is”. Before the vote, members of the public who were in attendance weighed heavily on the side of maintaining the status quo. Prior to the public having their say, CAO Larry Donaldson had outlined a KPMG service review report that recommended that council reduce its size to achieve a savings of $25,000 per year. Donaldson listed a number of options to reduce council's size either to a seven, six or five-member council, with the mayor being elected at large (i.e. by the entire electorate) and the councilors either being elected by ward or at large. Upholding democracy was one reason given by many members of the public who spoke at the meeting who wanted to see council remain as nine members with coun-

cilors elected by ward. Logan Murray, a former Kennebec councilor and mayoralty candidate, said he was amazed at how our democratic institutions are deteriorating. “It used to be that when a council wanted to do this kind of thing, it has to be put on a ballot. This is a foolish idea and it is much more about eliminating opposition than saving money. It is not going to save any money; it's going to reduce people's democratic access to their representatives," Murray said. Central Frontenac resident Lynn Shwadchuck agreed with Murray. “I have wondered at times if electing councilors at large might be a better way to go but now I think otherwise. We need representation for everyone, everywhere.” Resident Justin Gray agreed as well and added, “If you want to save money look at the roads and get it right the first time. I agree that we should uphold the status quo and keep

Central Frontenac at-capacity lake workshop
I
n an effort to raise public awareness about development on “at-capacity” lakes – i.e. ones that are labeled as highly sensitive lake trout lakes –the Township of Central Frontenac held a workshop on September 7 at Oso hall outlining exactly what those development guidelines are. Township planner Glenn Tunnock headed up the meeting, which included a power point presentation, an examination of three fictional case studies of proposed developments or redevelopments, and a quiz for the 30 audience members who attended the workshop. Tunnock said that the purpose of the workshop was to ensure that people understand what the impacts of development are on these at-capacity lakes and how decisions made regarding development on them impact their water quality and shore lines. “If we raise public awareness, property owners will make better decisions regarding development and that is the key thing here,” he said. There are four highly sensitive lake trout lakes in Central Frontenac: Crow, Eagle, and Silver lakes as well as the west basin of Sharbot Lake. The guidelines in the township's zoning bylaw provides for a setback of 300 metres for new construction on these lakes. Where the confusion can often occur is for those looking either to renovate or redevelop existing structures on these lakes.
THE FURNACE BROKER RD. 38, Godfrey, ON K0H 1T0
The current Zoning By-law defines the term renovate as “strengthening, improving, retrofitting or restoring to a better state any aspect of an existing structure and it forbids the removal of more than 50% of the walls (or wall studs) of that existing building or structure. Redevelopment is defined as “the removal or rehabilitation of buildings or structures and the construction, reconstruction or erection of other buildings or structures in their place”. Buildings on lots that do not meet current lake frontage and lot depth requirements are referred to as “non-conforming and non-complying uses” and construction on these lots must meet development requirements and setback standards for both the structure and the septic field. Any deviations require a minor variance and approval from the municipality. Tunnock was quick to point out that the rules are not “black and white” and that knowledge and collaboration with township staff are the key to property owners being successful in meeting their goals. “We want to collaborate and work with people because there is always more than one solution to a problem.. It is not necessarily black and white. Every property is different and there can be more than one solution. What we strive to do is to collaborate with people and together come to the solution that has the best merits for any one particular property.” The presentation also highlighted some of the exceptions to the existing guidelines. For example, vacant lots having a Theand/or lot area than required in the Zoning lesser frontage By-law may be used for a purpose permitted for waterfront residential properties it can be adequately serviced 8109 Hwy 38, Godfrey provided ON

Glenn Tunnock headed up the “at-capacity lakes” workshop with water and sewage services and has a minimum lot area 1,950 square metres (20,900 square feet). Similarly, alternatives to a septic tile bed are permitted, such as a composting or chemical toilet, as long as they are approved by the local Health Unit. Regarding commercial development on these four at-capacity lakes, a hand-out from the township highlighted that applications for enterprises such as trailer parks, commercial cabin rentals, campgrounds or marine facilities would require rezoning and “would likely not be approved by the municipality.” Back shore (back lot) development is permitted provided that lake capacity exists. It can occur beyond the 300 metre zone and would also require municipal approval. Tunnock’s presentation went into greater detail regarding specific rules and regulations and those present had many of their personal queries answered. Irv Dardick, who is the current president of the Eagle Lake Property Owners’ Association, was present at the workshop. He was also instrumental in making the workshop come about. “It’s been obvious for years that property owners on these at-capacity lakes do not have a lot of information readily available to them on what they can do regarding renovations and redevelopment of their properties. The ministries came up with so little information at the beginning of all of this and although it was incorporated into the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, it was very difficult to access since it was spread out all over the place,” he said. Dardick hopes to see the township hold more public workshops that inform the public of the most current guidelines regarding development on at-capacity lakes. “In the past there has been a lot of confusion and misconceptions about what you can and can’t do and that was the whole rationale for holding this kind of workshop,” he said.

South Frontenac receives fire report - September 10 by Wilma Kenny Fire Hall Study Report ynn Quann, of Emergency Management and Training Inc. summarized the findings and recommendations of a four-month study of South Frontenac’s Fire and Rescue services and equipment. This had been commissioned by Council as an aid to budget planning. Quann complimented the fire department on the quality of their training which met both Ontario Fire Marshall and Health And Safety standards, and on the excellent quality and maintenance of both vehicles and equipment. He recommended the fire department develop a strategic plan, including goals and objectives, for the next five years, using information from the Township’s 2013 growth study. Although a large section of the report reviewed the conditions of the fire halls and outlined recommended repairs and upgrades, Councillor Vandewal commented “I was pleasantly surprised the facilities were not as badly off as I’d feared.” The report called for more time (the equivalent of one full-time employee) to be spent on fire prevention and public education. Recruitment and staffing is an ongoing issue for all volunteer fire departments: South Frontenac is no different, with a low number of firefighters at three of the least busy firehalls. In summary, Quann said “Your volunteers are truly dedicated to the community they serve, and your Council, CAO and Chief are sincerely committed to ensuring the safety of the community and the firefighters of SF.” Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association: AnnMarie Forcier of the RHRTA described some of the ways the Township could benefit from connecting with this association, which serves to link communities, events and tourist attractions in the general area of the Rideau Canal and neighbouring districts. She distributed maps and tourist guides, which feature hiking, biking and paddling trails. More information is available on the website www.rideauheritageroute.ca.
L
SINCE 1970
Official Plan Review Planner Lindsay Mills asked Council’s direction concerning three outstanding issues where Council differs from the recommendations of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Council agreed to: 1) Support the proposal to permit five severances from a lot that existed in 2000, using information from the recent Growth Study done earlier this year. This study justifies the need to allow some continued development in the rural areas of the township. 2) Permit development of waterfront lots on private lanes, as long as these lanes have been constructed to the minimum standards required by the township, to allow access by emergency vehicles. 3) To not extend the boundaries of Sydenham Village, until it can be clearly shown that the water treatment plant has capacity to serve an enlarged area. The updated Plan will be brought to a public meeting, before going to Council for draft approval, then forwarded to the Province for review and final approval. Trailers: if we’ve warned you once... In 2004,a bylaw was passed prohibiting the use or keeping of a trailer on any property other than a trailer park. Those already existing were to be removed or licensed until 2010, by which time they would all have to be removed. In 2009 this deadline was extended to 2015. In 2005,169 trailers were licensed: in 2013 that number has dropped to 94. However, CAO Orr reports that the Township has received indications that there are an increasing number of unlicensed trailers, and that old trailers have been replaced with new ones, contrary to the Township’s rules. Council agreed to look at budgeting funds to pay for a new inventory of trailers presently in South Frontenac, so the Council in 2015 will have full information when they face the task of removing all trailers that year.
Who Owns the Desert Lake Causeway? A lengthy letter from the Desert Lake Property Owners’ Association raised questions about the ownership and management of the causeway at Desert Lake, particularly in relation to the public’s use of the causeway for recreation and the associated risks and liabilities. Planner Mills reported that he has been advised by the township solicitor that the township does not own the causeway: it is “unpatented land owned by the Provincial crown’, and as such, falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Council agreed that they should take a leadership role in connecting the MNR with the the lake association, to address the association’s concerns.

e experience another cute but chintzy method Hydro One uses to squeeze more dollars out of its customers. Instead of reading our “Smart” meter, they use a wildly inaccurate estimate of our usage each month, which just happens to push our usage total into surcharge territory, so each month we have to pay a penalty for power we haven't used. When we phone to have this corrected, the agent always seems very put out that we have the temerity to complain, and the next month they do it again. For 30 years, we have tried to give Hydro our monthly meter reading, by mail or phone, only to have it refused with excuses, from which we can only infer that they don't trust us. Our smart meter was replaced some months ago. When I asked the installer what was the matter with it, he replied: "Probably nothing, but they've had trouble getting info by satellite from some in Belleville, so they're replacing them all." When I pointed out that we were told our meter wouldn't be able to be read by satellite anyway, he just shrugged and smiled. When I asked him why all the smart meters were Americanized versions, he shrugged again. - Glen Pearce

in all of the circumstances. The defendants were not acting in furtherance of their duties as public officials.” In justifying the call for a such a large payment, the claim says the “defamatory words” were calculated to injure Gutowski and “and she has been injured in her credit, character and reputation by way of the profession as a politician”. It goes so far as to say it could cause her the “loss of political office and the loss of employment opportunities in the future.” The defendants were granted 20 days to file a statement of defence. Neither Janet Gutowski or any of the defendants in the case whom we contacted were willing to speak publicly about the case. It is still to be determined if the defendants will appeal for county funds to cover some, or all, of their legal fees.

Did you know that our bodies contain about 10 trillion human cells. Coexisting with these cells are bacterial cells numbering 100 trillion. These bacterial cells are called the “microbiome” of the body and play important roles in digestion, skin health, and our immune system. Bacteria aren’t all bad. The total fertility rate in Canada in 2011 was 1.61. This is the average number of children per woman. The lowest rate was in B.C. at 1.42, while the highest was in Nunavut at 2.97. Drug researchers are still looking to nature to find ways to treat common diseases. Gout, for example, affects about 2% of Canadians over the age of 50. The humble cherry might be a source of relief. There is something in cherries that helps decrease the amount of uric acid in the body. Uric acid build-up is associated with the pain and swelling well-known to those with gout.

Do you ever wonder what the sticker on your medication vial that warns you to avoid the sun is all about? Some medications can cause your skin to react when exposed to sunlight. This may look like severe sunburn or red, swelling, blistering lesions. These are called drug-induced photosensitivity reactions. They occur when UV radiation reacts with the drug that is in the fluid in your skin cells. Our pharmacists will be happy to talk to you about smoking cessation. As well as having the will to quit and a way of replacing the nicotine you won’t be getting from smoking, good counseling is also really important. We can help.

Prayers to Geraldine Badour. · Hope the first week of school went well with all. There maybe a few gliches to iron out but educating the children is the first priority!! Let's all move forward and stay positive. · It was so great to read in the Kingston Whig Standard about someone who has roots in the Tichborne area doing his part in helping others. Bernie Robinson, who was raised in the Bradshaw area, and Judge Brian Abrams started growing vegetables for the Salvation Army and Martha's Table. Now they supply five agencies!! With the weather this year they have a bumper crop but need volunteers to pick them! · It was also great to hear Stephen Goodberry who was a familiar face in Parham, win 3rd place in the Elvis contest in Tweed.
· Congratulation to Wilf Deline on winning the Charlie Pringle Award. Wilf does a lot for the Trappers Council. Unfortunately the Ontario Fur Management Convention was held on the same weekend as the Parham Fair so some volunteers from this area who belong to the Trappers Association were unable to help, but by all reports the day was a great success. I know Ethan Willard came home with some trophies. · A baby shower for Julia (McKinnon) Gryszkiewicky was held at the home of Kathy & Dave King's place on Saturday. · Anyone interested in going on stage, there is an acting workshop starting Sept 23 - November 25 at the Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake, sponsored by North Frontenac Little Theater · Congratulations to Harry Neadow's team on winning the A division at the John Lowery Memorial tournament this past weekend.

icily July 10, 1943 - As of May 1943, the Axis powers, Italy and Germany, had been defeated in North Africa. The time had come to carry the war into Italy and the continent of Europe. This would be the first occasion the Canadians would be committed to battle in World War 2.
The Canadians would land at Pachino on the south east corner of Sicily; the Americans would land 50 miles away, on the south side of Sicily; and the British 8th Army would be in between (known as the Desert Rats) The initial landing would be made by the first brigade of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division (known as the Old Red Patch from World War 1). This brigade was composed of the Royal Canadian Regiment (RCRs), the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment (Hasty Ps), and the 48th Highlanders. We would clear the beaches so the rest could land. The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment has had a Brigade reunion in their armories in Belleville on July 10 each year. This year was the 70th anniversary. This was a reunion of Veterans. The 48th had a small group this year, all over 90 years of age. The RCRs brought a complete platoon of Afghanistan veterans. The Hasty Ps had veterans from Afghanistan and WW2. The 48th groups were all from the Italian campaign. Little was spoken about the WAR, all about health and the ages of these old

I told him that length of time in war meant nothing; many young Canadians lost their lives in their first attack. I told him of Herb, the youngest of the four Hollywood brothers overseas. When he arrived in Italy, the Canadian troops where down in strength by one third of their required strength and had received no reinforcements for months. Herb was trained as an anti-aircraft gunner and

was sent to the Infantry. I spoke to him for a few minutes on his way up to the front. A few days later, I saw a white cross “H. Hollywood, Seaforth Highlanders, RIP”. He was killed in his first attack. The other local veteran of the Italian Campaign is Howard Raymo, who was wounded twice, with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. During the laying of the wreaths the Padre spoke out: "This Anniversary, of something that happened 70 years ago, is not the reason we are here today. This day is in remembrance of the things that happened after - where 45,000 young sailors, airmen and soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice." We shall remember them.

The convention included information booths, traditional games, team sports, trapping and hunting seminars, music, and special food.

Their mandate is to promote the conservation and sustainability of furbearers and the eco-system, while promoting the general welfare of the trappers of Ontario, humane harvest on a continual basis, encouraging education of fur harvesters by participating in education and awareness, and to represent the trappers in Ontario in any and all resource management issues. · Special thanks to Harlowe reporter Marie White for her column about the road between Henderson and Harlowe, which we all know is in terrible shape.

Forty years at RBC by Jeff Green
F
orty years ago, Irene Pierce had just graduated from high school. She went from Pickering to Toronto to stay with her aunt and uncle and find a job. “My cousin took me around downtown to the banks. I got three offers in one day. The first was from the Royal Bank, and it was the best pay; I think it was $5,400 or $5,450 per year. I thought I’d work there for a couple of years and then see what happens.” However, Irene never needed further opportunities to hone her job search skills, as she has remained with the Royal Bank, now known as RBC, ever since. She worked for ten years as a secretary, then she became a teller, and her job skills have evolved from there. Ever since the 1980s she has worked at branches in Kingston and vicinity. She has lived in Sydenham for 28 years, “almost long enough to be a local”, and has worked at the Sydenham branch a couple of times since the 1980s, including the last eight years. “Living and working in Sydenham has been wonderful. It’s convenient and I get to work for people who live in my own community,” she said. While Irene had no difficulty whatsoever finding a job back in 1973, some aspects of the job environment back then have been improved upon. For example, she was not eligible to pay into the pension program at the bank until seven years after she joined, but if she were a man she would have been able to start sooner. She also only had 15 weeks of paid leave when each of her children were born, and three more weeks of unpaid leave. “If I didn’t go back to work after 18 weeks, I ogy from the township would be helpful; however, it won't pay for all the car repairs. As well, there is a potential “sink hole situation” in the swamp area below the former Marie Deline house – which develops small cracks and holes that could develop into larger ones - large enough for a car to sink into the marshy bog. So, folks, who would pay for the car damages in a sink hole situation? When writing this I'm reminded of a movement that hi-lighted the dangers of the Cross Lake Bridge some years ago when folks handed out life jackets to all who crossed the bridge - so they would float, in the event that the bridge collapsed in transit. That kind of operation takes a lot of organizing. Is anyone interested in spearheading this kind of happening? I'm too busy. · Our Land O' Lakes Seniors raised the roof at our recent potluck lunch and monthly gathering in Mountain Grove. · Special Happy Birthday to Charles Pringle of Northbrook who celebrated with friends at a café in Northbrook.

We look forward to having even more people join us next summer to help us even up the series! Many thanks to North Frontenac Township for the support. would have had to take the chance that my job would have been gone,” she said. “That’s just the way it was.” Irene has also worked through technological changes as the banking sector changed from a paper to a computerized industry starting in the 1980s. “The job I was doing became redundant three different times, but there was always something else I could go to within the bank,” she said. There was a celebration at the Sydenham branch this Tuesday to mark Irene Pierce’s 40 years with RBC, and she took some time off her regular duties to greet customers and visitors from other branches who came by to help celebrate. “Honestly, 40 years have gone by pretty quickly, but I have to say it’s been a good experience,” she said. Irene is currently an accounts manager at the Sydenham branch, dealing with loans, mortgages and investments. She is not leaving her job just yet, however. She plans to stay for a few more years, so Sydenham residents will get the benefit of her experience and knowledge for a little longer.

Sargeant - The family of the late Thomas (Tom) Neil Sargeant would like to thank friends, neighbours, Corrections Canada co-workers, and family who gave of themselves and their time by reaching out in our time of grief with the very sudden and untimely passing of a wonderful Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, and Uncle. Tom's passing was so sudden and unexpected that we are deeply affected and still in shock. For the food, flowers, cards, donations, words of encouragement, prayers, telephone calls, e-mails, tributes and happy memories - our sincere thanks. It was overwhelming to know how many people were touched by Tom's life, and what an impact he made on so many people. To the O.P.P. officers from Perth for helping us, especially his son Robbie get through many details - thank-you for being so understanding and caring. To Leslie and Jim Boles for opening their home to our family, and Mark and Audrey Gorr, and Dan Brady for being by our side in Plevna. Thank-you to Reverend Raymond Klatt for conducting a beautiful service and doing it so sincerely. God bless you. To the amazing bag piper and Honour Guard from Corrections Canada - what a truly wonderful feeling of respect, admiration and peace. To Arthur Cota Jr. for reading passages of scripture to comfort us, and tributes from Melanee Dowdall, Shawn Leach, and Brother Bob Sargeant - what strength and grace you gave to everyone. Also, thank-you to the organist Peter Hannah for the musical selections and Tom's favourite hymns played so beautifully. To the pall bearers, Delmer Sargeant, Bill Steele, Art Cota, Art Cota Jr., David Cox, Thomas Sargeant, Andrew Geddes and Shawn Leach - you helped us through it all - thank-you. Our family’s profound thanks to the Blair and Son Funeral Home, Perth, Ontario for their compassion and caring, and helping guide us through the many hours so professionally. To the ladies and gentlemen at the Civitan Hall Perth, Ontario for the delicious lunch and refreshments thank-you so much. And last of all, we thank God our Creator for loaning us Tom to love here on earth. He was precious to us and we will miss him so much, but he will forever remain in our hearts and memories. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”.

Marg DesRoche turns 80! Marg DesRoche of Sharbot Lake recently turned 80, a life feat that is admirable in itself, but which has also been enhanced with a celebration of 50 years of volunteerism. Marg was born and raised in Plevna and married Len Desroche in 1953. They moved to Sharbot Lake, where Len operated as a butcher and grocer and Marg ran Marg's Shoe Sales from 1966 to 1986 (a business pillar of the village for nearly 100 years). She and Len raised five children and during all this Marg devoted her spare time to dozens of volunteer activities and projects. A life time dedicated parishioner of St. James Major Catholic Church, she chaired the committee that built the new church in 1991 and was a moving force in its fundraising efforts. She has been a worker at an endless number of dinners and fund raisers for the operations of her beloved parish. She was always the first to lend a helping hand to whatever task needed to be done. For the last twenty years she has been a proof reader for the Frontenac News and to add a bit of activity to her life she has volunteered for the Cancer Society and the Royal Canadian Legion during their annual fund raising drives. She also volunteers at the foot clinic every week. ln 2012 Marg was recognized for her outstanding work when she was chosen Senior Volunteer of the Year for Oso Township. Her family all met and celebrated her birthday on Sunday Sept. 1st, some 38 strong. What a full and rewarding life Marg has lived - and just think what she will be up to over the next 20 years. The community salutes Marg for all her contributions to her family, friends, church and community.
joyce Smith A sincere thank you to everyone for your expressions of sympathy following the passing of a dear mother, grandmother, Joyce Smith, who went to be with her beloved husband, Fred Smith, on August 24, 2013 at Arbour Heights. Thanks to all her caregivers there. Thanks to her grandsons, Dan, Dale, Duane, David, Jason, Randy for being her pallbearers. Thanks to Judy Reynolds for singing mom’s favorite hymns; to Zachary, Trillian for their music tributes; to Rev Barbara MaHood and Rev Eric Barr for their uplifting words; Goodfellow’s Funeral Home; Mountain Grove UCW for the lunch; to the grandchildren for sharing some of their memories of their grandmother. Together again with dad, and her son, Ken. You will be missed. Marilyn, Sylvia, Judi
Great Northern Weigh-in M
oney is a great motivator, as people living in the vicinity of North Frontenac have shown. Earlier this spring, the Great Northern Weigh-in brought $460 to Rodney Watkins, and $520 to Phil Madison. They also lost 28 and 46 pounds respectively and were the winners of the first two weight loss contests. On September 24, people are welcome to come out to the Clar-Mill Hall after 5 pm for the initial weigh-in to kick off the fall contest. They should also bring $20, the price of admission to the contest. Two months later, on November 26, there will be a second weighin and this time around there will be three winners instead of one. The person with the highest weight loss percentage will win 50% of the prize money and second and third prize weight loss percentage winners will split the other 50%. “We had 23 contestants the first time around and 28 the second, and we are hoping to have at least 30 this time, which would make the prize money go to over $600,” said Rhonda Watkins, who organized the contests initially to spark interest in the fitness classes that run from 6:30 until 7:30 each Tuesday night at the hall. “People can use whatever technique they want to lose the weight,” said Watkins. “They can go to Weight Watchers, follow any diet they want, it’s entirely up to them. Everyone puts in $20 and it's winners take all at the end.” For further information, call Rhonda at 613-479-2447

Township of Central Frontenac Public Notice Proposed Sale of Township Land Notice is hereby given of the Township of Central Frontenac’s intention to sale a small parcel of vacant land that has been declared surplus to the Township’s needs. The land in question is approximately 40’ x 137’ in size and is located behind Dean’s Super Food Store in Sharbot Lake and legally described as Part Lot 13, Conc. 1, in the geographic Township of Oso. The parcel was formerly part of the Canadian Pacific Railway land that was purchased by the Township as a recreational trail. The portion, Part 1 on the below noted plan, will occupy only a part of that recreational trail land and will not interfere with the use of the trail itself. The sale of the land will facilitate the necessary setbacks required for the approval of a new septic system for Dean’s Super Food Store. For information regarding this matter, please contact Larry Donaldson, CAO/Clerk at 613-279-2935 ext. 227 or via e-mail at ldonaldson@centralfrontenac.com.

council as is.” Former Central Frontenac Councilor Phillip Smith spoke from his own experience, stating that the size of the council should remain as it is due to amount of work required and said councilors should continue being elected by ward. After addressing a number of questions from the public regarding specific details about the report, Councilor Norm Guntensperger took the bull by the horns and put forth a motion that was seconded by Councilor Wayne Millar to uphold the status quo and keep council as it is. Councilor Heather Fox stated that she was not prepared to vote on a motion at that time and she put forth a motion to defer, which was seconded by Councilor Jeff Matson. Councilor Bill Snyder requested a recorded vote. Councilors Snyder, Dewey, Smith, Guntensperger and Millar voted not to defer. This forced council to vote on Guntensperger’s motion to uphold the status quo. In a second recorded vote Councilor Fox stated that she was opposed, and councilors Matson and Mayor Gutowski also voted no. The others voted to uphold the status quo and those members of the public who spoke at the meeting left feeling that they got exactly what they had come out for. The decision to keep the same council structure in Central Frontenac echoes the decisions made by both North and South Frontenac over the summer. For the 2014 municipal election, all of the townships will maintain a ward system with two representatives elected in each ward and a mayor elected through an at-large vote by electors in all of the wards. The mayors will automatically sit on Frontenac County Council, as they do now, and the second County representative for each township will be chosen by each township council at their first meeting following the election.

INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW
2014 JEEP CHEROKEE
The change involves the alternating schedule in which there will be two consecutive ‘Yellow – Paper etc.’ weeks. The August schedule for the ‘Central’ side of the Recycling calendar ends on a ‘Yellow’ week and then the new September schedule begins on a ‘Yellow’ week as well. This change will simplify and make the recycling schedule more efficient for our residents. So, as of September 1st all South Frontenac residents will be on the same schedule and this should eliminate any confusion residents may have about which side of the calendar they should be viewing. The new 2013-2014 Recycling Calendar is viewable on our website and also can be picked up at our Public Works office at 2490 Keeley Rd during business hours.
