Fishing and Boating section - see 8 Premiere night in Sharbot Lake T

(L to R) Bonita Lawrence, Rosemarie and Bill Bowick, Paddy O'Connor, Jamie and Cindy French, Ken Fisher, Paul Scott, Victor Heese (and daughter) - the subjects of short films about making a life in Central Frontenac in front of their own stars on the red carpet in front of the Oso Hall on Tuesday night.

he cream of Sharbot Lake society (and some others) were decked out in their finest evening wear for the premiere screening of seven short films by Jesse Mills profiling some new and not so new-comers to Central Frontenac. The films provide an insight into the lives of those who were willing to share their homes and their thoughts about where they live, work, and play. They also are meant to serve as promotional videos for Central Frontenac as a place to move to. Mayor Janet Gutowski came up with the idea for the videos, and Jesse Mills, a young, locally raised videographer who has been interning with the township for four months, conducted the interviews and did the filming and editing. The films, which are each about 5 minutes in length, feature some stunning landscapes and descriptions by the subjects. They are available for viewing on the township's website centralfrontenac.com. The opening, which included a red carpet, wine and cheese, was organized by Mayor Gutowski and the staff at the St. Lawrence Employment Centre next door, in particular the center's manager Karen McGregor. The Oso Hall was full for the showing, and the audience response was overwhelmingly positive.

Robertsville Ambulance Station operational T

he new Robertsville Ambulance Station at 15405 Road 509, North Frontenac Township, became operational at 6:30 am on Monday morning, June 16. “I am exceptionally pleased to see the Robertsville Station operating,” says Bud Clayton, Warden of the County of Frontenac. “It’s taken a long time to realize this goal, and doing so means we are better equipped to serve Frontenac’s full- and part-time residents, especially those who live in the north.” A 12 hour a day ambulance service is being run out of the new station, covering parts of Central and most of North Frontenac as well as Highway 7 between Maberly and Arden. The base has been in the planning stages for a number of years, and at one time was slated to be built in Ompah, but a planned combined ambulance base and fire hall was eventually dropped by North

Frontenac Township and the county proceeded with the building at the Robertsville Road across from the former Robertsville mine, which was the site of an anti-uranium exploration protest and occupation in 2008. County Council will celebrate the opening of the Robertsville Ambulance Station on July 16 by hosting its regular meeting at the station. The community is invited to join County Council for a Grand Opening Celebration at the base on July 16 beginning at 2 pm. The opening of the Robertsville station completes Frontenac County’s implementation of the recommendations in the Rural Area Ambulance Service Review, as commissioned by County Council in 2008 and completed by the IBI Group in March 2009. Serving a population of over 150,000 people in rural and urban environments, Frontenac Paramedic Services responds to approximately 20,000 calls per year.

The sign in front of the new Robertsille ambulance base is yesterday's news - the base opened for business on Monday morning.

Ten years on, looking back to the future S

ometimes even an organization dedicated to the future finds itself looking into the rear view mirror. The Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation (FCFDC) celebrated its 10th anniversary at its Annual General Meeting last week. The breakfast event, which was held at the Verona Free Methodist Church on June 12, was attended by a number of original board members, including Matthew Robinson (soon to be CEO of the Robinson Group), John Inglis from Lothlorien Woodworking, and Ryan Seeds from Seeds and Associates. Anne Prichard has been the executive director of the FCFDC from the organization’s start, aided by Executive Assistant Sue Theriault, who has also been there for 10 years. “Our goal from the start has been to help local business ini-

tiatives, be they start-ups or established businesses looking to expand,” said Prichard. Although the FCFDC is federally funded, it is a registered not-for-profit corporation, and decisions on loans and grants are made by a volunteer board comprised of business and community volunteers from Frontenac County. Current Chair of the Board, Ron Higgins, outlined the results of some of the accumulated efforts of the organization. The three major functions of the FCFDC include: providing loans, business support services and advice, and providing grants from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund. In 10 years over $5.5 million has been loaned out by the FCFDC to 191 customers. The corporation holds $3 million in its loan portfolio currently, including over $1 million lent out in 2013 to 21 businesses.

“We estimate that for every dollar loaned another 98 cents is invested from other sources, be it a bank or the business itself, putting $2 million into the local economy from our loans this past year,” said Ron Higgins. About 25% of the loans have gone to tourism-related ventures; another 25% to retail; 14% to the service industry; 10% to value added food; and 6% to farming. In terms of grants, under the Eastern Ontario Development Program, in 2013 alone, $878,000 was granted to 96 different projects. A further $318,000 in grants, matched dollar for dollar by the businesses themselves went to 65 projects that created 18 jobs and supported another 318 existing jobs In terms of business consulting, the FCFDC has conducted 414 in-depth consultations over the years, and has run 24

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court - June 16

“Why no jail time?” judge asks by Jeff Green n the sentencing hearing for Christopher Bernard, 59, who was convicted last month of driving while impaired, Duty Counsel Douglas Caldwell and Assistant Crown Attorney Megan Williams took joint position asking for a two-year driving prohibition and an $1,800 fine. “I’m thinking of jail,” said Judge Peter Wright. “This is his fourth time and he was at twice the legal limit. Convince me otherwise.” Mr. Caldwell noted that the previous convictions were “extremely dated”, two being from the 1970s and the third from 1989, and that Bernard lives an hour from Sharbot Lake on Elm Tree Road so the driving prohibition will cause a real hardship. Ms. Williams said that Mr. Bernard’s record “is extremely dated. He appears to have been law-abiding for 25 years,” adding that his low income will make the fine onerous as well. Judge Wright asked Bernard, “What were you thinking?” Bernard replied, “I guess I wasn’t thinking.” Sentencing in the case had been delayed because on the last court date Bernard denied the previous convictions. However the Crown’s office subsequently verified them with the Ministry of Transportation. The judge ultimately accepted the joint submission, but said, “Next time there will be no question, you will be looking at jail time, and not a few days.” Conviction Stephen Hermer, 50, pleaded guilty to a charge of operating a vehicle with blood alcohol over 80 mg/100 ml of blood and driving without insurance. He was stopped on May 4 on Road 509 for driving without a seatbelt, having raised suspi-

cion because he was driving well below the speed limit. He was going 50 km/hr in a 80 km/hr zone. After he appeared to be impaired, he was taken for a breathalyser test, and he registered 254 and 270 at the Lanark detachment, over 3 times the legal limit. He also had a dated driving/alcohol conviction from the 1980s. Judge Wight accepted a joint submission for a one-year driving prohibition and an $1,800 fine, telling Hermer, “You might consider seeking help for your drinking. Those levels suggest a real problem; most people would not be able to get to that level of intoxication.” Peace Bond – Norman Gibson entered into an undertaking to stay clear of Mitchell Barker (his son) as well as Brittany Bain after a series of altercations at a home on Road 38. First appearances – Andrew Churchley, 25, charged with driving while impaired by alcohol, will return on July 21. Timothy Hagel, charged with criminal harassment and mischief causing damage exceeding $5,000 in value, has a lawyer engaged and will return on July 21. Jason Kirkwood, 39, charged with driving while impaired and operating a motor vehicle with blood alcohol over 80 mg/100 ml of blood, will also return on July 21 with his lawyer. Jamie Scott, 47, is jointly charged with theft of a motor vehicle and trespassing at night with Tyler Darou, 25, who is also charged with operating a vehicle while disqualified. The two men will return on August 18. The appearance is delayed because Mr. Scott is leaving for work in Alberta, which will enable him to cover his legal costs.

Addington Highlands Council - June 16 A request from the Mazinaw Lakeside Dine and Recline on Highway 41 for an exemption to the township’s noise bylaw for events on each of the three summer long weekends was opposed by a couple who have a seasonal residence near the resort. The couple, who drove up from Hamilton for the meeting, said that on two occasions so far this year, one in March and again on the Victoria Day weekend, the noise has been excessive. “We have been pretty patient, but the noise has increased each time. The amplification has increased. We thought we'd better make our point before this becomes hell on wheels,” one of the couple said. “It is difficult enough to have a business in this area and we don’t want to discourage anyone,” said Reeve Henry Hogg, “but if the neighbours aren't being taken into account it is a problem. I can see asking people to put up with one event per year, but at some point consideration must be given.” “We are not the only ones who have a problem with this. We have friends among permanent residents who don't want to make waves, but the sound really is something else. I'd rather hear a Skil-saw going over pavement,” said the other

person. “I think we should say no to this request and communicate to them that we would agree to one event per year,” said Councilor Tony Fritsch. “On Victoria Day they didn't even ask for an exemption,” pointed out Councilor Helen Yanch. Nonetheless, Council did decide to reject the request for three exemptions while indicating to Mazinaw Lakeside that a request for a single exemption would likely receive a different response. Trouble brewing on County Road 41: A section of Highway 41 located south of Highway 7, where the highway is owned and maintained by Lennox and Addington County, is facing the possibility of flooding if a beaver dam on Raccoon Lake lets out. Public Works Manager Royce Rosenblath told Council that when the road was worked on by the county a couple of years ago, a culvert underneath was blocked. “We need to find the end of that culvert, which is not only 30 metres long but goes under the road at a 45° angle, to get it unblocked before something happens,” said Rosenblath, “ but it won't be an easy job.” “If they caused this, don't they pay for this work to fix it?” asked Deputy Reeve Bill Cox. “No, not for this,” said Rosenblath. “But if the road is washed out they will have to deal with that,” Cox said. “They would, but we would like to avoid that.” Rosenblath also said that calcium will be applied to gravel roads in the township between June 23 and July 15 for dust suppression purposes. “We have to make sure we don’t put it on before a rain, Rosenblath said.

South Frontenac Council - June 17 by Wilma Kenny

he meeting was opened with one minute’s silence, to honour the memory of Debbie Bracken, who for many years was township treasurer. Banking Bid Decided Treasurer Fragnito reported that, of the five proposals from area banks, two stood out from the rest: National Bank and RBC. After satisfying interview requirements, she and CAO Orr recommended continuing the Township’s banking relationship with the RBC: “…we both strongly felt that… although National Bank offered the best net position to the Township, there would be a loss functionality and internal controls.” Council agreed to enter into a five year agreement with the RBC, with an option to renew for a further two years. Surplus Money The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) announced in May that they had surplus funds from Gas Tax money set aside for administration, and would be distributing, on a one-time basis, the unused funds back to municipalities to invest in infrastructure. South Frontenac’s share of $14,937.65 will be allocated to the Township’s Federal Gas Tax reserve until a project is chosen. ComplIance Audit Committee Amendments to the Municipal Elections Act require Council to appoint a committee to review written complaints about campaign finances. Council approved the appointment of three qualified applicants: Roxy Dennison-Stewart and Christine Bell, both of Loughborough, and Sandy Cameron of Bedford. “We Need a Policy” A proposal for a Storrington subdivision draft plan hit a snag over a comment from Public Works advising that 712 metres of municipal road between the firehall and the sub-

South Frontenac Volunteer of the Year awards (Excerpts from the citations for South Frontenac Volunteers of the Year, which were awarded at a ceermony on Tuesday night, June 17) Lory Dark ory Dark has been a dedicated member of the volunteer staff of the Portland Township Community Caring, an organization located in the Princess Anne Building in Hartington, for many years. Community Caring receives donations of used clothing, household items, toys and books from the community. Lory and her volunteers sort and price the articles which are then sold for a very modest amount. Their mission is Reuse, Recycle and Reduce. Lory helps to distribute the funds that are taken in and in turn the funds are donated to community associations such as the Township Firefighter’s Association or Southern Frontenac Community Services. Although Lory would be the first to admit that it takes a team of dedicated volunteers to manage the never-ending administration of the Centre, Lory is being recognized for her years of dedication leadership, including the successful application in 2011, when she was the chairperson, to become a Committee of the Township of South Frontenac. Norm Irwin ifelong South Frontenac resident Norm Irwin’s first love was baseball. He started coaching at the age of 16 and has been actively involved in minor baseball ever since. He coached Central Frontenac Cyclones Rep. Fastball Teams from 2000 to 2013 from Mite to Junior Division. If you wanted to find Norm between April and October just go to one of the local baseball diamonds. Over his career Norm has won 4 Ontario Championships (Squirt, PeeWee, Bantam, and Junior). In addition to his coaching, Norm also has provided countless hours of property maintenance on behalf of the Township. In addition to his baseball exploits, he has been a member of the Loughborough Parks and Recreation Committee since

2008. He has been leader inSINCEthe 1970 Friday Night Lights Committee which was instrumental in acquiring lights on McLellan Field in Sydenham for the past seven years. This committee through fundraising donated over $30,000 to this project. He has also coached Bantam Rep. Hockey and he has refereed the Wednesday Night Basketball League for 5 years. Norm’s contribution to the school community was recognized this year by Sydenham High School when he was awarded the Hilliard Watson Memorial Trophy for Community Involvement. Norm’s passion for sports and commitment to the community makes him a worthy recipient of the Volunteer of the Year Award for 2014. Jim Kelly im has been a Lion since 2005 and has held the offices of President, Vice President, Membership Chair of the Sydenham and District Lion’s Club, but most importantly he was the leader starting Vision Screening in Loughborough and Harrowsmith Schools. A program by District A3 Lions to assess Kindergarten school age children for their ability to see and starting in the new school year also to assess their ability to hear. Secondly, as part of the Medical Alert bracelet program with Lions Clubs in Canada Jim started and organized the Sydenham District Lions Golf Tournament with goal of funding local schools. This program provides the Medical Alert bracelets as needed to school children upon request through the School Administration. Finally, it’s important to highlight Jim’s involvement with the Loughborough Christmas & Emergency Relief Committee. Jim for years has volunteered with this committee and its efforts to provide community relief in the form of food and / or financial assistance as needed. We wish to thank Jim for his many con-

We’ve all heard the phrase “five-second rule” when food drops on the floor. This is indeed a myth and many studies have proven its fallacy. We often forget that our shoes track in many bacteria, many of which are fecal in origin. Here’s a better rule: Drop it? Toss it. Good sleep hygiene includes sleeping in a cooler room. It seems that keeping your night time bedroom temperature between 15.5 and 19°C (6066°F) is ideal. It helps cool down your body’s core temperature, which helps you to sleep better. If you always seem to be warm, try a cool shower before bed. One type of exercise that has become popular in recent years is interval training. This combines short bursts of intense activity (intervals) with lower intensity periods of activity. The activity can be swimming, running or even walking. If you use walking as your exercise of choice, warm up first then walk really briskly for 30 seconds, then slow down and let your heart rate normalize, then repeat. Check with your doctor first if you plan any new exercise activity. This is allergy season and the pollen drifting through the air can make life uncomfortable for many. Flushing the nasal passages with a saline solution will help clear pollen so it won’t bother you. You can make your own solution (one-quarter teaspoon each of salt and baking soda in 8 oz of water) or buy some ready-made at the pharmacy. Need advice about allergies? We have the answers. Drop in soon.

· Who said small towns are quiet? They certainly did not mean the hamlet of Arden. On Saturday there were two large birthday bashes in town. First, many friends gathered to wish Tom Hughes a happy day on his 85th birthday. Best Wishes were sent from the township via Tom Dewey, and even though the invitation stated “no gifts”, presents of past memorabilia and photographs arrived from a variety of guests. Wife June and daughter Heather made sure everyone in attendance had a wonderful lunch. Down the road, at the Arden Legion, Ruth Oliver celebrated her 80th Birthday with family and friends. More food and “best wishes” highlighted the celebration. · The Mountain Grove United Church held their annual steak dinner/silent auction on Saturday. Music by Dave Johnson, Mary Jeckle and Ray Whitlock entertained the guests. Gifts from many donors were displayed for auction and a frenzy of entries was made at the 7pm deadline, each person trying to outsmart the other. · On Saturday, June 21, there will be events all day at the Arden Legion, starting with a 7:30 am breakfast.

SHSM teacher Shawn Lavender with grade nine students

Staff and students celebrate new tree nursery at Granite Ridge S

by Julie Druker

tudents and staff at the Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake gathered for a special ceremony celebrating the recent planting of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new tree nursery. Shawn Lavender, who teaches the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program at the school, invited grade nine students in the SHSM forestry program to speak about the new nursery, where the students planted dogwood, sugar maple, and white pine trees. One of the goals is to replace each tree that was cut down during the construction of the new school with 15 new trees. The project, which was funded with the help of grants from the Limestone Learning Foundation, the TD Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environmental Fund and Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Kingston, who donated the sawmill to the school, is part of the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to plant 50 million new trees in the province. The nursery project was chosen by Lavender to allow students in the SHSM program at Granite Ridge to acquire skills and knowledge in sustainable economic and social activities. Each grade nine student in the SHSM program was invited to plant one tree with a 3D label attached with their name. The labels were designed by the students with the help of Ms. Hurley using the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 3D printer. Mr. Murray, who runs the wood and auto shop programs at the school, had students create the wooden signs that identify the new nursery using wood from trees cut on site and cut on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own saw mill. The students prepared the site and planted it with 400 new seedlings. At the ceremony, students Dustin Granlund and Nolan Teal spoke about how the new nursery â&#x20AC;&#x153;will allow for carbon at the equivalent of 100 plane trips from Montreal to Vancou-

ver (the equivalent of 100 tons of carbon) to be captured from the atmosphere in a single treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life time.â&#x20AC;? Students Craig Schonauer and Bailey Green spoke about the other projects the students undertook in the program, which included their maintaining part of the Lanark Mazinaw Forest by clearing a 20-acre parcel and â&#x20AC;&#x153;stripping it of iron wood, striped maple and small white birch thereby enhancing the mass trees and encouraging their growth while maintaining a healthier forest for animals and nature lovers.â&#x20AC;? Last to speak was forestry student Robert, who spoke about Granite Ridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest management plan and the nursery project whose goal was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to remove the undergrowth and invasive trees on the property and to open the area for mass canopy trees and encourage the growth and regeneration of sugar maples, pine and dogwoodâ&#x20AC;?. Shawn Lavender led the presentation and thanked all of the students and staff involved in the project as well as staff and representatives from the LLF and the SHSM program, who were present at the event. They included Leslie Myles, Mike Sewell, John Chomitz and Shawn Lehman. Mr. Lavender concluded the presentation with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to think that we are doing our part here at Granite Ridge though our tree planting and continued involvement with our community partners to improve the landscape and restore our area back to pre-European times. This is an initiative that the government has mandated in its forest operations and we would like to succeed in restoring pine back to 14% of our landscape from the 7% that it is today.â&#x20AC;? Following the presentation students and staff enjoyed an outdoor barbeque lunch at the new nursery site.

Cloyne Pioneer Museum opening A nother fascinating season at the Cloyne Pioneer Museum and Archives is about to begin! New to us this year are six display cases, constructed especially for the museum by talented craftsman Murray Lessard of Flinton and made possible as a result of the grant by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which was awarded to the Cloyne and District Historical Society a year ago. These display units are providing us with an opportunity to create new exhibits and to replace others that were in need of refurbishing. Another exciting development is that some of the paintings of Kaladar-area artist Wini Gutsell have been made available to the museum, both for display purposes and for sale. Many of you will remember Wini Gutsell, who up until the year before her death exhibited her work at Bon Echo Provincial Park during the “Art in the Park” weekend. Wini

Fishing and Boating supplement: T Bass fishing in eastern Ontario by Jeff Green

he first weekend of the bass fishing season, which now starts on the 3rd Saturday of June, when at least in most years the bass are off the spawning beds, essentially marks

the start of the summer fishing season. While there have been issues with population on some lakes with other popular fish species such as walleye and

trout, bass seem to be more plentiful than ever. They are easy to fish for anglers of all levels of skill and they can be found in most if not all lakes. “For my business, the start of bass season is everything; it marks the beginning of summer. It is the fish that most people are after and there are lots of them in Sharbot Lake and other lakes as well,” said Darryl Peters of North Frontenac Bait and Tackle in Sharbot Lake. Live bait, which Peters carries, such as minnows, leeches, worms and more, are very successful as bass bait, so much so that only artificial bait and lures are allowed for bass fishing tournaments, which are also plentiful throughout the region all summer. Big Jim McLaughlin, a former Canadian champion bass fisherman, lives in Rideau Ferry and spends his life promoting fishing through personal appearances and his fishing magazine “Just Fishin’”. He said that bass are indeed more popular than ever and they are also more populous and larger than ever, particularly small mouth bass. “There are theories as to why that is the case, but one that is supported by an academic I know is that the warm water helps, as does the influx of zebra mussels on local lakes. The bass eat the mussels and since small mouth bass are a sight feeder, the fact that zebra mussels make water clearer helps the bass find their prey.” Fishers with a sports fishing license can keep 6 bass each day and conservation license holders can keep 2, and there is no size restriction. While Big Jim said that he only does catch and release, which is what tournament fishing is all about, including the big LOLTA tournament in August, he does not begrudge fishers who fish for fun and food. “There is absolutely nothing wrong with catching a couple of 2 or 3 pound bass and cooking them for a cottage barbeque supper,” he said. “It’s a great tradition” The only thing he tells people is that if they catch a really large bass, small or large mouth, in the 5 or 6 pound range, it is a good idea to release it. The reason is that those are the spawning fish, and based on the idea of natural selection, larger fish will have larger offspring, bringing up the size of

bass in the future. As well, larger bass don’t taste as good as the moderate sized ones. Big Jim will be a guest at the Palmerson Lake Fishing Derby which takes place this weekend, on Sat & Sun. June 21 & 22 in Ompah. He will arrive around noon on Sunday. (see Northern Happenings for details or call the Palmerston Lake Marina, 1-866-661-4949) Dave Limber, a resident of Sharbot Lake who grew up fishing with his father in BC and is a fly fisherman, fishes bass primarily in the summer. “They are around, and there are interesting ways to find them and catch them,” he said. Limber is also a catch and release fisher, who goes to the trouble of removing the barbs from his hooks and releasing his fish without removing them from the water. He notes that he stops fishing when loons are around, because the fish are weakened when released and the loons will swoop in, even attacking fish that are too large for them to eat. With all the changes in our lakes affecting the trout and walleye fishery, bass have become the species that attracts the most fishing attention in Eastern Ontario, and the good news is that the fish are thriving so much that they can easily handle the increased fishing pressure.

Fishing and Boating supplement Emergency cold water rescue W

hat are the very first things to remember to do when suddenly immersed in cold water? Just survive the first minute. Don’t panic and get your breathing under control. Keep your head above water. The gasp reflex is automatic, and if your head is underwater, you could take in enough water to drown. Control your breathing. Gasping and hyperventilation is a natural reaction to the cold. If you can’t control your breathing, not only could you have difficulty controlling your swimming movements, but you could breathe water in and drown. You must concentrate on breathing slowly and evenly.Stay calm--don’t panic. Remember, 1-10-1. After getting your breathing under control in the first minute, you have about 10 minutes of meaningful movement in your arms and legs to complete escape or survival activities. Depending on water temperature and other factors, it will be least one hour before you risk becoming unconscious due to hypothermia. Are women more at risk to become hypothermic than men? Onset of hypothermia depends mainly on body mass and fat. Generally speaking, men have more body mass than women. The increased body mass slows the rate of core temperature loss and therefore the onset of hypothermia. What is one simple clue that will help you assess a victim as moderately-to-severely hypothermic . The absence of shivering, decreased mental acuity, and/or unconsciousness. When the core temperature drops below 32°C, shivering starts to decrease and by 30°C, shivering is absent and the patient is unconscious. What if it’s not possible or practical to remove the victim’s wet clothing? Wrap the victim, wet clothing and all, in a vapour barrier (plastic sheeting or a tarp), and then place in as much insulation as possible (i.e., one or even two sleeping bags).

The vapour barrier will minimize evaporative and convective heat loss and prevent the insulating material from getting wet and losing its effectiveness. Is it a good idea to put a mildly hypothermic victim in a warm shower or tub to help them regain body heat at a more rapid rate? No. Never, ever put a cold victim in warm or hot water. Significant surface warming in a tub can cause peripheral vasodilation which will increase blood flow to the periphery. This can cause blood pressure to drop, and blood will cool in the periphery and cause the core temperature to drop further as well. These factors all put extra stress on the cold heart and it may stop beating. When someone is standing in a shower, the surface warming effect is not as much as with full immersion but the standing position itself will increase blood flow to the legs, also decreasing core temperature and blood pressure. In any case, the heart has to work harder to maintain blood pressure in this situation, and is more likely to stop as the cold heart cools further. Rescuing a cold water immersion victim is an emergency situation, so isn’t it important to move quickly to save someone’s life? Actually, this is not an emergency in the traditional sense (i.e., you must act quickly or the patient will die). The ultimate goal during rescue and treatment is to be gentle and keep the victim horizontal. It takes a long time for a victim’s core to cool and if it takes a little longer to perform a gentle, horizontal rescue, the victim will not get much colder, but the chance of Circum-rescue Collapse is less. The difference between a frenzied, fast rescue and a controlled, gentle rescue may only be 20 seconds to 1 minute. Better to spend a minute or two to extract and transport them gently, than to rush and end up jostling them too much and causing cardiac arrest in the process. - Canadian Safe Boating Council.

Chilling Facts of Cold Water – the 1-10-1 Principle - The Canadian Safe Boating Council W e used to think that hypothermia was something that we all needed to know about cold water immersion. However, research has shown that few people who fall into cold water make it through hypothermia. They die long before. What you need to know is a simple series of numbers… 1 – 10 – 1. It is the second most important thing to remember to survive an accidental fall into cold water. If you fall into cold water: 1 You have 1 minute to get your breathing under control. The initial cold shock will have you gasping for air, breathing uncontrollably and probably panicking. Keeping afloat and breathing will be very difficult but concentrate on just getting your breathing under control and you can expect gasping to pass in about 1 minute 10 During the next 10 minutes you

will experience Cold Incapacitation and your body, in an attempt to preserve core temperature, will shunt blood to its core, causing your limbs to shut down and quickly making it impossible for you to self rescue or even stay afloat. 1 After Cold Incapacitation, hypothermia will finally start to set in but you can expect that it will take about 1 hour to become unconscious and still longer before you succumb to hypothermia. Remember those numbers! 1 – 10 – 1; they are the second most important thing to know and understand if you accidentally fall into cold water. And you already know the first: wear your lifejacket before you accidentally end up in cold water or you will likely be down before the count even starts.

Lifejackets save lives - let's wear them One question asked by a Canadian Safe Boating Council study was: "Why not wear a lifejacket?" Some responses were: "Don’t need a lifejacket if you can swim well". "Wearing lifejackets is not required if a boater is skilled" "Don't need to wear a lifejacket if within sight of shore" "Wearing lifejackets only necessary if the boat is moving" Of the 23 boaters who died in OPP investigated marine incidents last year (2013), 20 of

them were not wearing PFDs. This has been the trend for the past five years with eight out of ten victims who died in boating incidents between 2009 and 2013 being found with no PFD (or wearing them incorrectly). OPP statistics are also showing a five-year low in alcohol-related marine fatalities. Four people died in impaired boating incidents in 2013, compared to seven in 2012 and 2011, 14 in 2010 and 13 in 2009. In spite of the decrease, even one life lost due to alcohol use on the water is one too many. The OPP is asking the public to call 9-1-1 if they know or suspect that someone is operating a vessel while impaired.

Conservationists of Frontenac Addington by Ron Pethick

n Tuesday, May 27, the meeting was opened by Ron Pethick welcoming guests Sara Sproule, Jarod Salmond and Amey Savageau. Dave Dacuk gave the treasurer’s report. From that, the annual beef BBQ was discussed. The attendance at this year’s BBQ was up quite a bit and by all reports it was the best one yet. An article from Outdoor Canada was passed around. It was noted that in some areas, private hatcheries are allowed to operate and stock swim-up fry. The Bancroft MNR still says that stocking the swim-up fry doesn’t work, without giving any backup material to substantiate their claim. The debate is not over yet with the MNR. Arrangements are already in place to take four or five kids fishing in August. This annual event proves to be very effective and enjoyed by all who are involved. COFA donates rods, reels and some tackle to each child to keep. A shore lunch is also well enjoyed.

Live Bait

The Manion Wellman award was discussed and a raise of $100 for the award was voted on and approved. This year’s award will be $500. At this point, Sara Sproule, NAEC teacher and co-ordinator of the outdoor education program gave an update on the program. Using slides, Sara showed what all is involved in the program. It covers children from JK to grade 12. The sports involved are snow shoeing, archery, canoe and camping trips. With the help from grants and other sources, they have acquired an inventory of canoes, snowshoes, bedrolls, tents, etc. Students Jarod and Arney also gave their enthusiastic support of the program and what they have learned in the outdoors. Ron gave each of them a COFA hat in appreciation of their coming to the meeting. COFA had donated to the program in the past and it was voted and approved to give them $2,000 this year with the idea that this could be an annual donation, depending on the state of the program next year.

Big Bike in Sydenham and Verona by Julie Druker n one of the last days of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike event, which takes place across the country, members of the Sydenham and Verona communities took part to raise funds for the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Heart and Stroke Foundation. The popular fundraiser invites teams to raise a minimum of $50 in pledges and donations per person, after which the team is invited to climb on board the foundation’s 30-seat Big Bike for a celebratory 2.5 kilometre ride around their local community. On June 16 three rides took place locally. Two were in the morning in Sydenham, where the first ride was undertaken by a Sydenham community team comprised of close to 30 individuals who together raised over $1,100 for the cause. A second Sydenham ride made by members of the Kingston Lowe’s team, who raised over $900, also took place. Both Sydenham rides began at Trousdale’s Foodland and each completed a 2.5 kilometre loop in the centre of town. The third ride of the day almost did not take place due to inclement weather. The Revell Ford Lincoln team in Verona

came close to canceling their Big Bike ride due to thunder and lightning that began just prior to their 2:30pm scheduled departure time. They had raised over $500 (and still counting) for the cause. The team stuck it out though, and under still rainy skies they mounted the bike and made their wet and windy trip through Verona along Road 38. The ride itself is a lot of fun for team members, whose sole job it is to pedal the bike since the steering and braking were strictly under the control of experienced driver Jack Junkin. A sound system blasts groovy tunes as the teams make their trips through their local communities and the experience not only makes for a fun break from regular daytime schedules but also provides a fun way for employees to share an unusual and memorable team building experience. Funds raised from the local Big Bike events will be used for research education and prevention programs and the

community of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington receives on average $1.3 million in research funds alone from the event. Katharine Wattie, who is the area co-ordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Kingston, Frontenac Lennox and Addington, organized this year’s events and she also rode along on the bike. The Big Bike events began on June 3 and will continue until August with a final ride on August 23 in Kingston. Wattie said that she is hoping to bring the Big Bike event back to Sharbot Lake this August, as a Sharbot Lake community team has done extremely well in the past. “I’d love to see a Sharbot Lake group get together this year since they have been so successful at raising funds in the past.” For more information about getting involved in the August Big Bike ride contact Katharine Wattie at 613-384-2871; email kwattie@hsf.on.ca

taff of Northern Frontenac Community Services thrilled youngsters and their families with their 5th annual Great Outdoor Adventure and United Way Yard Sale, which took place at the Child Centre in Sharbot Lake on June 14. The event offered up numerous games for kids including a soccer shot, mini golf, a bouncy castle, minuteit-to-win-it games, face painting and more. The horse-drawn wagon rides courtesy of Bill Lee's team, Pat and Jake, were a popular draw. Inside the Child Centre a large garage sale was set up, with all proceeds going to the United Way. Maribeth Scott of NFCS, who was on hand organizing the event, said that the Great Outdoor Adventure is a way to “promote physical activity and family fun.” The event was made possible by NFCS staff with the help of six youth volunteers who are currently enrolled in NFCS' “Leaders In Training” program, which is sponsored by the United Way. The Outdoor Adventure is made possible through a Trillium grant and by the end of the day more than 100 visitors had attended the event.

he puzzle in the June 5 issue of Frontenac News about the square and triangle reminded reader Kerry Skipper of a similar find-the-radius puzzle that he found in the book Games for the Super-intelligent by James Fixx (the famous jogger who died of a heart attack in 1984). A rectangle with two sides along diameters of a circle and one vertex on the circumference is drawn as in the diagram. Given the indicated measurements, you need to find the radius of the circle. Fixx notes that “the [trained] mind is lured into concentrating on an irrelevant aspect of the problem.” The solution is elsewhere in the paper.

Land O' Lakes Community Services AGM A t the Land O' Lakes Community Services’ annual general meeting on June 16, which was held at the Lions hall in Northbrook, three persons were unanimously elected to the organization’s new board of directors. Carl Gray, who was born and raised in Harlowe, practiced as head OR nurse at Hotel Dieu in Kingston before returning to school at Dalhousie University in Halifax to complete his degree. He then worked in Thunder Bay first as a clinical instructor in the OR, then later in the education sector at Confederation College as coordinator and chair of the nursing program there. Gray worked for 10 years at Algonquin College in Ottawa as the coordinator for practical nursing. He has been a board member, has chaired boards and has worked as a volunteer in numerous capacities. Most recently, up until his retirement, he was the Ontario representative for all of the practical nursing programs in the province for the Canadian Association of Practical Nurse Educators. He currently lives on Massasagagon Lake with his partner, with whom he runs a shop on Highway 41 called Schoolhouse of Treasures. Anne Marie Langan, who lives in Mountain Grove with her husband and children, is

a practicing lawyer who works at the local legal aid clinic. The clinic was formerly known as Rural Legal Services and was renamed the Legal Clinic in April this year after merging with similar services offered in Lanark County. Langan works once a week at the clinic’s satellite office in the LOLCS office in Cloyne. She also has a degree in Theology. She worked as a social worker in homeless shelters across the country before returning to school to study law at Queens Law School.

by Julie Druker

She operated her own law office in Sharbot Lake before going to work at the Legal Aid Clinic. Helen Welburn, who served last year as the appointed member of the board, grew up in northern Quebec and in Arden where her mother’s side of the family (the Pringles) were long-time Kennebec residents. She has two children and six grandchildren. Her husband passed away in 2000 and she has since remarried and moved back to the

community. She has been part of the local swim committee in the area and said she understands that the LOLCS requires a strong board in order to provide the guidance and respect necessary to properly serve people in the community. Regarding other business on the agenda, Ernest Lapchinski raised his concerns, citing “tensions over the last two years” because of the change of holding the LOLCS' regular monthly drop ins in Flinton instead of at the Northbrook Lions Hall, where they were formerly held. Lapchinski put forth a motion asking that the regular meetings return to the Lions Hall as a “complimentary support for the Northbrook Lions Club.” After much discussion about whether the board or LOLCS staff should make that decision, one member pointed out that when the former change of location was made, it was done by the board and not the staff though the staff offered their recommendations. In the end Lapchinski's original motion was amended to state that the issue be referred to the board to make a final decision, after which the motion was passed. The guest speaker at the AGM was Derek Maschke, director of Milestone Funeral Center. He gave an informative presentation titled “Looking Ahead”, on how best to plan ahead for a funeral.

developed an agreement with them,” Hahn said. SolarShare is currently the largest renewable energy coop in Canada and develops commercial-scale solar electricity installations, offering investors the opportunity to “invest ethically and with impact, with 100% of the invested funds directly financing solar projects and helping to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.” The non-profit co-op offers investors Solar Bonds, which pay a fixed 5% annual return on a minimum investment of $1,000 for a 5-year term. The co-op, which to date has developed 23 solar projects in Ontario totaling 1.2 MW of capacity, generates revenue by selling the electricity they produce. The bonds are backed by 20-year power purchase agreements with the Ontario Power Authority. Under the new partnership, Wintergreen and SolarShare will continue to explore projects to develop in the Kingston area. Wintergreen will also encourage their own members to invest in Solar Bonds and SolarShare will pay a fee directly back to Wintergreen Co-op to cover the costs of operations. The partnership was discussed at length at the June 13 retreat with presentations by David Hahn, by SolarShare president Mike Brigham, and by Julie Leach, the company's community investment and marketing manager. There were also keynote presentations by Kristina Inrig of the Community Energy Network of Eastern Ontario, who also spoke on sustainable investing, and Paul McKay, who spoke about renewable energy developments. Following lunch was a workshop on SolarShare's Solar Bonds. For investors wanting to go green, with a fixed 5% annual

For her part, Prichard says it has been and continues to be a continuing effort to get the FCFDC known to all businesses in Frontenac County. As well, all of the CFDCs have been facing cuts to their core funding, and in the case of Frontenac County this has meant a decrease in staffing by one person in recent months.

Public Works Manager Segsworth said this was based on the projected increase of traffic over this portion of gravel road, citing similar requirements for passing lanes and upgrades to intersections which developers have been required to provide before gaining approval for other projects. Planner Mills confirmed that there were provisions in the Planning Act which would allow this. Mayor Davison and Deputy Mayor Vandewal both said that the Township needed a clear policy before requiring a private devel-
