Hope looms large at 2014 Relay for Life

4317 Colebrooke Rd Harrowsmith 613-372-2662

f one had to pinpoint one singular theme at the 2014 North and Central Frontenac Relay for Life, which took place at the Parham fairgrounds on June 20, it would have to be hope.

Relay chair Lesley Merrigan highlighted that idea after the Friday night opening ceremony, saying, “This community really needs to feel a sense of hope at this time; there have been so many close to home cancer diagnoses in this community recently that hope is really what we need now.”

It was with hope in mind that Merrigan invited cancer survivor Tammy Horvath to speak at the opening ceremony about her own personal battle with cancer. “I invited Tammy to speak because nobody gives hope like she does”, Merrigan said.

Tammy was diagnosed in 2004 at the age of 34 with a stage four uterine sarcoma and doctors gave her just two weeks to live. She was then a young wife and mother of two, and she told the doctors to do “whatever they could”. After undergoing an aggressive new treatment, she much more than beat the odds and now, 10 years later, she is happy to tell her emotional story to others, especially to those who have been recently diagnosed.

“Cancer is a roller coaster ride with many highs and lows and you really need a boat load of determination to get through it,” Horvath said in addressing this year’s Relay participants.

She spoke of the term “survivorship” saying, “People become survivors the very day they are diagnosed.”

She also spoke of how the funds Tammy Horvath raised from Relay are so important. “I would not be here if it were not for the research dollars made possible through the Relay for Life.”

Heather Gray, director of the Canadian Cancer Society in Eastern Ontario, also spoke at the opening ceremony, citing how the Relay for Life especially helps rural communities by

Cancer survivors at the 2014 North and Central Frontenac Relay for Life release balloons at the Parham Fairgrounds on June 20 securing funds for transportation services that enable those diagnosed to travel to larger centers for treatment. She spoke about the CCS’s peer support program and their cancer information service, both of which can be accessed by rural residents by phone. She also spoke of the importance of cancer research. “If you happen to be standing beside someone who was diagnosed with cancer, the fact that they are still with us today is because of research. We have gone from a 25% survival rate in the 1940s to a 63% survival rate today and for children, the survival rate is even greater, where youngsters now have an 81% survival rate.” Gray said the goal of Relay is to continue to increase those percentages.

Cancer survivor Marcel Giroux also spoke, highlighting how the Parham relay event, which began in 2006, not only helps by providing funds for important research and services but how it also brings the community together. “This event

Randy Hillier comes out of his shell A

nyone who thought Randy Hillier would remain quiet about the fate of his party, and the province, after the recent election saw him returned as an opposition Conservative MPP, would have been mistaken.

He stayed loyal to the party message during the campaign, but now that is over, he has become more vocal in his critique of the leader and the party.

It all seems to have been kicked off by an Op-Ed piece in the Toronto Star by Geoff Owen of H&K Strategies, a volunteer who rode the bus and planes with Tory leader Tim Hudak during the election campaign. The article, titled “Why I’m proud of Tim Hudak” includes the claim that after losing the election fingers are pointed and accusations are made largely by people who were solidly behind Tim and his plan until the votes were counted”.

Describing this comment as “pathetic attempt at spin” on his Facebook page, Hillier went on to say that “not one PC candidate was informed of the 100,000 job cuts until it was announced. How could we be behind something that was purposely kept from us?”

He has since given newspaper and radio interviews in which he said that most of the Tory caucus wanted Hudak to leave immediately after a caucus meeting that was held four days after the election, but Hudak did not do so, although he has subsequently succumbed to the pressure and will be leaving when house comes back into session in July.

In a telephone interview this week, Randy Hillier told the Frontenac News, “I spent most of the campaign convincing people that Tim Hudak’s name was not on the ballot here; that they were electing a local representative who is going to advocate for their concerns.”

This, even though as he said during the campaign and he

represents how we started together in fear and eight years later we have ended in glory,” Giroux said.

After the speeches the survivors’ walk began, with close to 50 local cancer survivors lapping the track while troubadour Shawn McCullough’s original tune “Fight”, which was inspired by his father’s battle with cancer, was played. McCullough penned the song especially for the Relay and copies of it were available for sale with all proceeds going to the cause.

Emcees Jim MacPherson and Lindsay Fox manned the mikes for the entire event, which included a wealth of musical entertainment and numerous games, contests and activities until the following morning when the sun came up. By the end of the event participants had raised over $45,000 (and still counting) for the cause.

by Jeff Green

repeated this week, Hillier is supportive of most of the thrust of the Conservative campaign, which fits with his own positions on many issues. The promise of 100,000 job cuts was hard for him to explain, however.

“The general thrust I absolutely agree with. Do we need to reduce our overhead? Yes, but we should not do it in a vindictive manner but rather in a thoughtful and reasonable way that is not detrimental to families and people in the province,” he said.

Now that Mr. Hudak will be resigning, rather than focussing on leadership, Hillier says the party needs to look at the way it operates rather than simply selecting a new leader.

He has written a letter to the president of the party, Richard

Ciano and all the riding presidents, asking that they consider making changes in the name of democratizing the way policy decisions are made and allowing for a greater role for local MPPs. In the letter he says that since 2003 when they lost power to the Liberals the party has moved to the left and to the right without success, suggesting that something more fundamental must be attempted.

“There are other challenges we face as we rebuild, and one of those will include defining who we are as a party. I believe our brand should be simple and clear, that we as

Septic inspections in Central Frontenac

by Jeff Green ince February a committee of volunteers, Councilor Jeff Matson, and staff from the septic office of Kingston Frontenac Public Health have been meeting regularly to talk about how to set up a program to inspect all 4,000 or so private septic systems in Central Frontenac over a 10-year period.

John Duchene, retired township Chief Administrative Officer and Kennebec Lake resident, presented an interim report from the committee at the council meeting this week (June 24).

Duchene said that the committee looked at a number of other jurisdictions who have implemented similar programs, which have become permissible with changed in provincial

legislation in recent years.

Currently the township employs the Mississippi-Rideau septic office to conduct voluntary inspections, and Duchene said, “Really we see this as an extension of that process.”

The first step in establishing a program would be an information gathering process, updating information about systems that are over 15 years old.

“Public Health has good data for those systems that were installed in the last 15 years, but the data deteriorates for the period before that,” said Duchene, “so finding out what is out there is a big first step.”

Students “Relay” at Prince Charles PS I

n an effort to get young students involved with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, staff at Prince Charles Public School in Verona held their own special Relay for Life event at the school on June 20.

The school’s Relay is now in its fourth year and included a presentation in the gym

in which Cam Whalen, a fundraiser/relationship manager with the Canadian Cancer Society in Eastern Ontario, spoke about the importance of the CCS’s annual Relay event and how the funds raised are used to help individuals battling the disease. School Principal Peter Dendy invited his mother Joyce

Dendy, a cancer survivor, to participate in the PCPS relay. Joyce who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997, underwent surgery and treatment, and is now cancer free.

I spoke to her at the event and she stressed the importance of women getting regular mammograms. She said that she regularly takes part in the annual Kingston Breast Cancer Action Kingston Walk as well.

She was pleased to be able to come to the school and said that the event is an important one for students. “As time goes on students will remember these kinds of events and will come to realize that they have done something to help”, she said.

After the formal gym presentation, Joyce proceeded to the school’s track and lapped it, after which she received multiple “high fives” from the students as she passed by.

The students were then invited to Relay on the track along with her.

Prior to the relay students were given envelopes and asked to fundraise and it was announced at the presentation that they raised over $2,000 for the cause. Leading up to the event students were made aware of various cancer statistics and the importance of raising funds so that more research can be done and more services can be made available to those diagnosed the disease.

Lisa Cousins-Badour, who teaches at the school, said the Relay is an important way of making students aware of the disease, how best to prevent it and how to help support the efforts of the CCS. Congratulations to all of the students, who not only reached but surpassed their $2,000 goal. Students who raised the most funds will be winning a special prize; they will be dyeing PCPS teacher Ms. Edmonds’ hair as a reward for their efforts.

South Frontenac Committee of the Whole - June 24 Fire Services Save Life

South Frontenac resident Randy King spoke to Council of his heartfelt thanks to Fire Chief Chesebrough and the volunteers of South Frontenac Fire Department. He described how their prompt and appropriate intervention saved his life during a sudden health crisis in early June.

“For myself I am also concerned about the vulnerable people but I am also concerned that we must find a way to ensure that the systems are all safe,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski.

“Are we required by any law to do this?” asked Guntensperger.

“Not at this point,” said Gutowski.

The report from the committee was received for information.

Kids of Steel a go

Greg Kealey of the Ottawa Triathlon Club came to council seeking permission for intermittent road closures of Road 38 during the cycling portion of a planned Kids of Steel Triathlon in Shabot Lake on Sunday morning, July 27.

The Triathlon is to be part of a five-race competitive series called the Triathlon Ontario Youth Cup. The Sharbot Lake site was used last year by the same group, and is well known in Ontario Triathlon circles for Kids of Steel races that took place there in the 1980s and 1990s.

One hundred and fifty kids between the age of 6 and 15 took part last year and Kealey expects more in 2014.

“We made mistakes last year by going to the County, which we thought was the right place to go, but now we know we need to come to the township for permission.”

The primary objective of the triathlon is to promote physical activity among children, and efforts will be made to recruit local children for the event, Kealey added.

A number of councilors expressed concerns about the road closure, and made suggestions about seeking an alternative route, for the cycling to be done on trails, etc.

Greg Kealey said that he is willing to look at alternatives, but if none can be found he did need to know if the road closure would be permitted because if not he would seek a new site.

“I can’t take a chance on finding out we can’t hold it here once we get close to race day and I will have to cancel the race entirely, cutting the race series down from five to four at the last minute,” he said. “Overall I felt we had a good response last year from the local community.”

Other races in the series are scheduled for Ottawa, Guelph, Dunrobin, and Lakeside.

“Given the history of this location, and the ideal layout, we are keen to hold this one here,” Kealey said.

Mayor Janet Gutowski said, “I feel I have to point out I did receive complaints last year,

up a series of speakers this fall to address ‘subjects that matter’ to residents of each of the Townships. He said they wanted to know what topics Council felt would be relevant to their local communities. Councillor McDougall said that at the annual meetings the Township had held with local Lake Associations, there seemed ongoing confusion about the roles of the Stewardship Committee, the Conservation Authorities, and the Ministry of Natural Resources; perhaps an evening that included representatives from each of these agencies would be useful for the lake associations.

including from the restaurant at the beach about access being closed off for customers, and the township was never informed. I also heard from people who loved it, I should point out.”

In the end the road closure was approved, with Kealey promising to seek an alternative route if possible and committing to putting up signage about the road closing well in advance of the race.

Letter Green energy

From the point of view of green energy, the election of the provincial Liberals is a good thing as a Conservative victory would have meant the end of the green energy program.

However, election of the Liberals does not automatically mean that we will be getting our electricity from renewable sources.

Almost 60% of our electricity comes from nuclear reactors and if we want the majority of it to come from renewable sources we have to make sure that our nuclear reactors are phased out and not refurbished or new ones built. Unfortunately, there are powerful political and economic interests which want to keep the nuclear program going.

If we want to get our energy from clean renewable sources which will be cheaper than new nuclear, we have to put pressure on the new Liberal government to phase out our old nuclear reactors. Unless we can do that, the Liberals will follow their long term energy plan and have most of our electricity will come from nuclear reactors and renewable sources will be relegated to a minor role.

We have to improve the Green Energy Act so that local municipalities and communities benefit financially from producing renewable energy. Having local communities receive financial benefits should make them more receptive to renewable energy projects in their communities.

The rest of Council agreed: no one offered any other suggestions, although Sandiford had listed a number of potential topics including: car share programs, volunteering, solar hot water heaters, septic alternatives, seed banks, environmentally conscious movie nights, and community revitalization.

Mayor Davison thanked them for coming, and said they ‘had planted the seeds’ of a number of ideas for engaging the residents in our communities.

Request to Lease Township Property

A resident of Harrowsmith has asked

Plant theft

by Wima Kenny

Council to consider leasing, with an option to purchase, a small parcel of Township land in the village of Harrowsmith. He says he is renting a neighbouring apartment, and would like to park his RV on the property. After a brief discussion, Council agreed unanimously that they intended to retain the land in question, would not consider leasing it, and if they should at some time decide to sell it, they would contact adjoining landowners to see if they had any interest in the parcel as a lot addition, for it is too small to be considered a separate property.

Letters to the editor

O

n June 17, I had the great pleasure of attending the preview of 6 videos which will be used to promote Central Frontenac as a wonderful place to live. The “stars” of the videos are people who live here because of the lifestyle they are able to enjoy.

However, these people are not “takers”, they are “givers” who, by donating their time, energy and considerable talents, contribute greatly to the quality of life we are all able to enjoy in Central Frontenac. It’s a dynamic relationship. One doesn’t exist without the other. And, there are countless others in CF who give freely of their time and energy, volunteering for a wide variety of causes and events, because these people have pride in their community and want to help it be a better place for everyone.

Unfortunately, there are a few others, who have totally missed the concept of community pride. I am speaking specifically of those (adults) who help themselves to plants, trees and shrubs planted in public places by Villages Beautiful. Someone even tried to carry away a barrel of flowers. This is premeditated theft.

The most recent incident is the removal of plants outside Oso Hall.

Plants do not cost a great deal of money.

However, the hard work and time volunteers spend preparing soil, planting, weeding and caring for the gardens is quite another thing.

Not to mention the hours that go into preparation for and production of the Festival of Trees, which raises the funds to purchase these items.

Those who do not respect the efforts and property of others, likely have little respect for themselves and that is very sad.Villages Beautiful will continue to plant and replace items stolen, as long as the money holds out. Perhaps we should build a contingency fund to prepare for this? I hope not. That would be even sadder.

I remain, Frontenac.

ohn Wallace ("Remember liberal mismanagement when you vote" 12/06/2014 Frontenac News) should have saved his breath. When you have an electorate who placed into office a chronic promise breaker for three consecutive terms, you have to understand that "untarions", especially in the Toronto area, are out to lunch. Really, there is no big problem though; we only owe a per capita debt amount four and a half times higher than California, the insolvent democrat sewer of the USA. I would reassure there are many more liberal buddies and pork barrelers waiting in the wings to be fed

by Wynne, and perhaps a few more stragglers from the McGuinty reign and the local ones will be encouraged their own pork barrels will not run out of taxpayer monies.

Chin up though, John, they already have a McGuinty era past deputy minister of education who I am sure would be happy to take a big pay cut, presupposed on his being arrested for child pornography.

· The Arden Legion wishes to thanks everyone who participated in their Fun Day on June 21. All events were extremely successful with a great turn out for the Bass Derby and the Fish Fry. Fun was had by all. · Last week I reported about the entertainment provided for all guests at the Mountain Grove United church’s steak dinner. Because I arrived at about 5:40 pm for the 6pm dinner I did not hear all of the music played and neglected to mention the appearance of 11-year-old Jessica Wedden from Tichborne. After making some enquiries I was told by Dave Johnston that young Jessica stole the show with her trick fiddling and step dancing. Three weeks ago, she won a competition in Enterprise. To find out more about Jessica please visit her web site at www.jessicawedden.ca.

Flossing your teeth is an important part of good oral hygiene. If you haven’t flossed in the past 24 hours, chances are you are putting your dental health at unnecessary risk. Here’s a good suggestion. Keep a package of floss next to your TVwatching chair. Then you can watch and floss at the same time.

· Thurs. July 4 plan to come up to the Henderson Hall for the UCW tea and bake sale at 11:30am. It will be yummy in the tummy with sandwiches, desserts, tea, beverage and lots of smiling faces. We've got good cooks north of seven.

Cost is $6. · Folks flocked to Henderson for the yummy pancake and sausage breakfast in aid of Henderson United Church.

George and Marie White and helpers really cooked up a storm. Stay tuned for future up-coming events and happenings. · Linda Rush, a celebrated artist from our northern area, is exhibiting at an event called “Art in the Barn” on July 12 & 13 at Lombardy Fair grounds near Smiths Falls. This sounds like a wonderful experience and an opportunity for folks to peruse the art, visit with Linda and all the artists. Perhaps you might see some recognizable scenes on the canvas. · I know folks are getting tired of hearing about the road to Harlowe - however last week some folks on that road to Harlowe snapped their tie rod and bent their front tire rim.

Also their vehicle needed towing out, and they weren't even driving fast - their vehicle just descended into a crater of a pot-hole and now it's really damaged. We all feel so helpless and need some encouragement. When Elvis wrote about “getting all shook up” he didn't mean on the area roads!!

Bunions are caused by shoes that are too tight.

tors, transport trucks, race cars and more.

Becky Cavanaugh of LARC said that the purpose of the event is not only to provide a lot of fun for children, it is also aimed at familiarizing them with emergency service workers, their vehicles and the other equipment they use, which helps to quell the children’s fears if they are in an emergency situation.

“It’s a fun thing for kids to do; not only do they get to learn more about the people, their vehicles and the services they provide but they get to do so in a friendly and fun environment,” Cavanaugh said.

A group of paramedics invited youngsters to lie on a stretcher and to experience some of the machinery and tests they would undergo in the event of a 911 emergency call.

Paramedic Ryan Thielman explained, “We show them the tools that we would normally use in an on-scene call so that if they have to experience a call in the future, they will know that there is nothing to be afraid of and that none of this stuff can hurt them.”

Sydenham & District Lions golf tourney T

wo days of heavy rain didn’t stop the expert groundskeepers at the Rivendell Golf Club from having the course in playable shape when the Lions Clubs of Region 11 held their 8th Annual Charity Golf Tournament there on June 13.

One hundred and seven golfers teed just as the rain was letting up and by 2 pm the tournament ended with the sun shining on everyone and the Lions smiling at the success of the event. In spite of the wet terrain there were still a number of fine displays of golf put on by the participants. First place in the Men’s division went to the team of Joe Bowes, Steve Bowes, Ryan Bowes and Chris Bowes. The top team in the Mixed division was composed of Jim Smith, Carolyn Smith, Ken Johnston and Irene Johnston.

Other winners were Karen Fargo, (Closest to the Pin – Women), Cecil Vrieswyk, (Closest to the Pin – Men), Lynda Derue, (Most Accurate Drive – Women) and Wayne French, (Most Accurate Drive – Men). The winner of the $500 VIA Rail Travel voucher was John Sauve, who put on a terrific display of putting.

Approximately $9,000 was raised, which means the Lions will be able to purchase new equipment for their Vision and Hearing Screening programs. These programs, which have been in place for over 10 years at some schools, are offered in all the elementary schools of the Limestone District and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Boards. Students enrolled in Senior Kindergarten and Grade One are screened each and every year and if a difficulty is detected parents are notified by letter with the suggestion that their child be examined by a professional from the appropriate field (vision or hearing).

This tournament was co-ordinated by the Sydenham & District Lions Club with tremendous support from the Lions Clubs of Bath, Kingston, Newburgh – Camden, Sharbot Lake, Storrington and Verona. Lions from all the Clubs across Region 11 wish to extend their sincere thanks to the many businesses that sponsored holes and donated prizes as well as to the golfers whose presence and good humour in trying conditions made the day such a success.

More deaths than births in Frontenac County: study points to ageing population A

by Jeff Green

detailed population, housing and employment projections study, completed by Watson and Associates for the Frontenac County planning department, indicates there will be limited growth in the County over the next 20 years, and that growth will be centered in South Frontenac with most of the new residents living within commuting distance from the City of Kingston.

Although none of the information in the study is new, and there are some projections going forward that reflect some regional and provincial trends, the study does question some of the data that came from the 2011 census, and provides alternative information.

It also provides a 20-year picture of births and deaths in the County, and during the most recent five-year period for which data was available, 2006-2011, more people are dying than are being born in Frontenac County. The numbers, 1,338 births as compared to 1,402 deaths, reflect a gradual change in demograpics. Between 1991 and 1996 there were 1348 births and 884 deaths; between 1996 and 2001, 1044 births and 651 deaths; and between 2001 and 2006 886 babies were born and 823 people died.

Over that 20-year period, the population increase in Frontenac County was mostly due to increased migration to the county from elsewhere, which was responsible for a net increase in population of almost 5,300 residents over that time. Not surprisingly given these figures, the number of young people in Frontenac County has been on the wane as the older adult and senior population has jumped. In 1981, 33% of the Frontenac County population was under 19, and that percentage has dropped to 22%. Also, in 1981, 22% of the population was between the age of 20 and 34 and

that percentage is down to 12%. The percentages are correspondingly higher for those aged 45 to 54 and 55 to 74, which is now the largest group at 29%.

All of this puts talk of the ageing of the baby boom bump and the ageing Tsunami into context.

Based on demographic and economic trends and population, the Watson report projected slow economic and population growth in Frontenac County over the next 22 years.

Growth is projected to increase at a marginal rate of 0.7% per year over that time, with the bulk of the increase (67%) being generated by growth in the Kingston economy and a resulting increase in the commuter population in South Frontenac. The total population is projected to reach 33,200 by 20136, up from 27,900 currently. When seasonal residents are added to the mix, the projection is a population of 64,200 by 2036, up from 57,500 currently.

Job growth within the county over that time is also projected to be modest, a net increase of only 800 jobs, from 3,900 currently to 4,700 in 2036, but more and more of those jobs will be home-based jobs in the knowledge economy as opposed to jobs in the retail and tourism sectors.

While the projections in the Watson report are clearly subject to revision as time goes on, Joe Gallivan, manager of sustainability planning for Frontenac, said that the study is a valuable tool in the development of a strategy for population and economic growth in the county, and for the development of services geared towards an ageing population, One aspect of the study that Gallivan will use in the coming months is chapter 7, which deals with future housing possibilities in the county.

Absenteeism rates drop at County A

by Jeff Green

Sharbot Lake Thursdays 2:30pm Drop-in $10 Lower Level Sharbot Lake Medical Centre 613-375-6448

fter concerns were raised last year about increased absenteeism at both Fairmount Home and Frontenac Paramedic Services, monthly updates were ordered by county council. Five months into 2014, indications are that the rate and costs of absenteeism are down from their historic 2013 highs. If the rest of 2014 follows the pattern of the first five months, absenteeism at Frontenac Paramedic Services will drop below 19,000 hours for the first time in two years. The total in 2013 was almost 22,000 hours and in 2012 it was over 19,500 hours.

The absenteeism rate at Fairmount Home is down marginally from 2013, but it did drop in 2013 from its historic high of almost 15,000 hours in 2012.

In the County administrative office, the rate doubled in 2013 from 2012, up to almost 1,000 hours. In 2014, only 175 hours have been lost as of the end of May, on pace to drop below the level of 2012.

In terms of cost, because not all hours lost to absenteeism are replaced by replacement workers, indications are that savings of well over $100,000 will be realized in 2014 as compared to 2013 if the pattern of the first five months continues until the end of the year.

“It is anticipated that a significant share of future housing development will occur within the rural area, similar to historic trends” the study says in section 7-4.

“That is why it is important for us to impress upon the Ministry if Municipal Affairs that contrary to what the provincial policy statement says, orienting all housing development into the built-up areas is not a viable option in Frontenac County,” said Gallivan.

South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison concurred. “Pushing development into hamlets that don’t have water and sewer systems in place is only going to cause more, not less, of an environmental risk,” he said.

Of more than a dozen hamlets in Frontenac, Sydenham is the only one with a water system in place, and even Sydenham does not have a communal sewage system.

Finding a parking lot

for county money By Jeff Green rontenac County Council has developed an obsession with finding a home for $3.5 million in reserve funds that F had been accumulating in their working fund reserve, which in the municipal world is the equivalent of a checking account. Early this year, based on advice from a consultant, the council determined that this money could be put to other uses, and some members of council argued that the money should be simply transferred to the local townships to help cover the cost of road and bridge repairs.

However, at a Committee of the Whole meeting in May, the council decided instead to divvy up almost all of the money into several different pots, for use on future projects.

When those allocations were brought forward to the formal council meeting for ratification a couple of weeks later, some council members objected, arguing that not enough discussion had taken place. The matter was deferred a month, and during last week's monthly council meeting (June 18) a further Committee of the Whole session was scheduled to tackle the matter.

This time, each of the allocations was discussed and voted on. The result was the same as in May and the decisions will again be sent to the formal council for ratification, this time in July.

CAO Kelly Pender, using the example of the largest pot of money, $1.5 million for seniors’ housing, outlined the kind of financial model that would be required before any of that money would actually be spent.

The proposed reserve allocations are as follows: $1.5 million to seniors’ projects; $100,000 for waste management planning; $500,000 to economic development; $200,000 to capital asset management requirements; $340,000 for capital commitments under cost sharing agreements; $380,000 for Frontenac Renovates (a program to help residents in older homes); $30,000 for land acquisition – trails; $154,000 for future Community Improvement Plans; $100,000 for an energy retrofit project.

While it would seem that the decision of the Committee of the Whole would be replicated at Council since they have the same makeup, a quirk of voting may come into play.

At Council, South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison has two votes since he represents the most populous township, but he only has one vote at the Committee of the Whole. Votes at the Committee of the Whole on a couple of the proposals, including the $500,000 for Economic Development, were close and might have been different if Davison had two votes, so the votes might go differently at Council in July.

McDonalds Corners Farmers Market has laid back country charm T

by Julie Druker he farmers’ market that takes place every Saturday during the summer in McDonalds Corners is well worth the trip. The market started up in 2007 and takes place on the grounds surrounding the MERA Schoolhouse, which offers visitors a peaceful and quaint country setting where they can lounge under two huge, shady poplar trees and enjoy everything that the market has to offer. Over 20 regular vendors fill the old fashioned steel-roofed log stalls and many also set up their own covered outdoor booths. Goodies for sale include a wide variety of fresh grown market veggies, herbs, garlic, and also prepared salads and salad dressings plus plants and fresh cut flowers, all made available from local farmers.

There is organic meat, home made breads, cookies, cakes and other goodies plus maple syrup, home made preserves and other comestibles. Also beautifully displayed are a wide variety of local hand made crafts that include stone and glass jewelry, wooden crafts and other functional objects for the home and kitchen, and other creative and imaginative gift items including wizards, Santas and gnomes. Lovers of the fabric arts will enjoy the wide array of yarns and other hand made woolen and knit items including beautiful felted slippers, and unique and very delicate crocheted cloth jewelry.

I would encourage visitors to skip breakfast and arrive hungry since they can sit down and enjoy a wide array of healthy and

filling snacks. The two J.Ps who man the on-site outdoor brick pizza oven are happy to prepare made-to-order pizzas starting at 11am. The pizzas come in two sizes and are carefully assembled, baked and served up piping hot from the oven.

Or perhaps a home made souvlaki or tandoori chicken courtesy of Silvia and Chris is more to your fancy. The Steady Way trailer offers up fresh and steaming hot fair trade coffee and teas that go well with their famous sticky buns, Queen Elizabeth cakes, exceptional cookies and their wide selection of non-GMO fresh-baked breads.

If cheesecake or pies are your thing try Sally Andrews' incredible pies, her regular or gluten-free cheesecakes or her ready to eat gluten-free strawberry shortcakes.

The MERA school house is also open for visitors to wander around and enjoy the art and craft displays within, free of charge.

Indoor washroom facilities are also acces- L-r: four regular vendors: Alanna Riff, Lynne Parks, George Fisher, Melany Blake sible to market goers. Adding to the charm 1pm. The market runs every Saturday from 9am to 1pm at of the market are live musical performances by a number of the MERA school house in McDonalds Corners. Visit meradifferent musicians every week, who perform from 11am until schoolhouse.org

Showy Lady’s Slipper Orchids slightly later this year S orry Dads, the orchids weren’t blooming for the big day as they usually are; however, they should reach full bloom this week. Plan your trip now to catch the flowers at their peak.

"We do anticipate full bloom to be reached in the next few days and to last into next week and weekend,” says Suzanne McFarlane, MVCA Community Relations Coordinator.

The Purdon Conservation Area, a Seven Wonder of Lanark County, is owned and operated by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). The water management organization is responsible for 410 ha. of conservation area lands across the Mississippi River watershed.

“The orchid blooms are the jewels of this site,” says McFarlane, “MVCA has managed the orchid colony—a fen wetland—and the adjacent forest property for 30 years, relying on local expert advice and staff to ensure the success of the flowers.”

The orchid colony exists today thanks to the care and cultivation of Mr. Joe Purdon—the conservation area is a truly amazing legacy of this local stewardship pioneer. After purchasing the property in 1984 with the help of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, MVCA pledged to preserve the site for public enjoyment.

The conservation authority cares for the colony following a management plan created by Ted Mosquin, a well-known ecologist, who has volunteered his expertise since the mid1980’s. The active management of the site consists of some tree clearing to allow more light into the fen, water level management through the beaver pond (also known as Purdon Lake), and hand pollination. These orchids don’t attract insects like other flowers; hand pollination helps ensure the

seeds are propagated.

In recent years, deer predation has had an impact on the number of blooms. While the plants did not perish, buds and flowers were eaten impacting the aesthetics of the blooming season. The regular application of organic deer repellant has been included in the management practices.

It can take up to 15 years for new plants to bloom so measuring of progress can be a slow process. This summer, a group of orchid specialists will undertake a full census of the fen to record the number of blooms this season. This is done once every five years to track bloom success on the site.

Visitors can stroll along an accessible boardwalk for an up close view of the flowers. The Ted Mosquin Highland Trail is

OPP tips to help avoid hitting a deer 1. Be alert at dusk and dawn and use your high beams if no traffic is approaching.

2. Have your passenger survey the surrounding fields and roadsides as you are driving.

3. Deer travel in groups; never assume there’s only one deer crossing the road.

4. Deer tend to fixate on headlights, flashing them may be enough for the animal to move.

5. If you spot a deer in the road, slow down and blow your horn to frighten it away.

Pine Meadow Golf Classic S

by Julie Druker eventy-two golfers participated in the 13th annual Pine Meadow Golf Tournament, which took place on June 21 at Hunter’s Creek Golf Course near Northbrook.

The tournament is an annual fundraiser for the Pine Meadow Nursing Home and is put on every year by volunteers with the Pine Meadow Special Needs Committee, who include Jane Potyok, Allison Yearwood, Eleanor Nowell, Fern Sedore and Laury Hitchcock. All of the proceeds from the event go towards providing for items needed by residents at the home that are not budgeted for.

Over the years these items have included overhead tracks and lifts for rooms, defibrillators, monthly excursions, exercise equipment for the restorative care room, fencing, concrete walkways and a covered picnic area for the outdoor recreation area, mobile shelving units, towel and blanket warmers, electric and Hi-Lo beds and more. For this year and likely for a number of years to come, the funds from the tournament will be going towards a second outdoor courtyard space at the home behind the new addition that is currently under construction. The space will be utilized by residents. A single ticket for the event cost golfers $55, which included 18 holes of golf and lunch.

Letters to the editor by students of Granite Ridge Educational Centre Don’t pollute

W

hy do you need to litter? Please don’t pollute. Animals are dying because of people. Landfills are really covered in garbage and bears live around there. If there are no garbage cans, just put it in your pocket. Maybe you think it’s too much trouble to look for a garbage can. Plus on the beach in summer are covered in garbage. The animals in the sea are almost extinct. So you should stop polluting.

by Zak Killam, Grade 4, GREC

Be active

T

his is a note to convince you to go outside. I know you don’t like going outside, but it is really fun. So you can go outside and run. Not every day, but it would be nice sometimes.

I would help you get up in the morning.

Get running, eat healthy and always have fun when you run outside. And if you like, you can get a treadmill. If you have trouble I will be there. And you can tell me if you like it or not because if you don’t we can do something else if you’re fine with it. It’s not going to hurt me at all if you don’t want to do it. I just want you to have a good life and stay happy, fit and remember to always have fun.

Your friends will be jealous of your strong legs. So get prepared for the time of your life. I hope this convinces you to be active!

by Icen Lane, Grade 5, GREC

Why NOT to smoke I was thinking about people that smoke and I am writing this to convince you NOT to smoke.

Maybe it’s not your fault that you smoke.

Maybe you just tried it and it was too addictive for you to stop. Everybody knows smoking is addictive. We know it is hard to quit and this should help. So if you smoke, read this: Smoking is bad for you and it can give you cancer. So don’t smoke. It gets lots of people sick from it too. Please do not smoke.

If you smoke and you get pregnant, your baby can get sick too. It’s bad for your kids if you have any, so don’t smoke in the house.

A lot of people don’t like the smell of smoke.

Do you? That is why I think you should not smoke any more.

by Amanda Crawford, Grade 4, GREC.

Start recycling You might think that recycling is hard, but it’s not. If you don’t recycle now, here are some reasons why you should start. Why should we recycle? It can save so many animals. Animals can get stuck in garbage.

It’s dangerous. I know what you’re thinking “What do we put in the bins?” Well, you can put paper, plastic, and cans in the bins.

Some people don’t have recycling bins, but you can get them in a lot of places like Walmart or Canadian Tire. Do you know what happens to all the stuff you don’t recycle? It goes to the dump. You might not know what recycling does but it is very helpful to our environment. So that is why I think you should start recycling.

by Emily Baillargeon, Grade 5, GREC

Stop when animals are crossing the road Spring is in the air. Animals are out and more animals get hit every year. I hope I can convince you to stop hitting them with your car. You may think they’re pests, but animals deserve to live too. You might be in hurrying and they’re in the way. So you should try to remember they’re just walking. Maybe you think some animals are way too common but some aren’t common enough. You might think the road is made for people not for animals, but they don’t know it’s a road.

You may think there aren’t enough signs but I think they should put up more signs. Maybe you’re not paying attention when you drive.

It you’re hitting the animal you might crash and get hurt. So you should pay attention.

That’s why you should stop when animals are crossing the road.

community through hands-on experience. In taking on the tasks volunteers gained behindthe-scenes insight into the work of agencies.

Photo above: on June 6 a team from the Bombardier Monorail Plant in Millhaven helped out at both the Northern Frontenac Community Services adult building and at the Child Centre.

Healthy Beginnings H ealthy Beginnings had a Great Beginning in its inaugural first year. This was a free weekly drop-in program open to all pregnant or new moms with babies under one year of age.

This program started last September thanks to a partnership between the United Way’s Success by Six funding program, the Child Centre, a part of Northern Frontenac Community Services, the North Frontenac Food Bank, The Sharbot Lake Farmers Market and many caring community members willing to share what they know. Activities ranged from teaching moms to do infant massage; learning to cook Italian pasta; how to preserve fruits & vegetables; how to make healthy and inexpensive baby food; and fun games & songs for baby. On the food-related weeks, moms went home with groceries or a share of the dishes prepared.

Recently a demonstration garden was planted outside the Child Centre by the moms. We used two kiddie pools with donated soil and compost from Tracy at the 1010 Lawn & Garden Centre. Dawn from the Mountain Grove Seed Company helped with

her knowledge of which plants will grow with each other in our pools, and what not to plant with what! So much to know. Kathy Martin of Dragonfly Herbs donated herbs for both gardens with enough left over so that the moms took home some for theirs.

Once a month the KFLA Public Health Nurse Darlene came by to talk with the moms and answer their questions. Twice a month Saman, the dietitian from the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team, also stopped by to talk about the nutritional issues or benefits based on that week’s topic. Having these ladies’ knowledge and help was wonderful.

While all is very informative and fun, the real benefit of the program was that mom had a casual and relaxed place to meet and chat with other moms with their babies. It didn't hurt that they also got introduced to some special people in the community who are helpful resources in the future.

This program is taking a break over the summer and will start up again in September. Thank you to all the ladies who let us share in this special time and to all those who helped. It was much appreciated!

RBC in Sydenham had a group of seven staff and family participate in a Day of Caring on the morning of May 24. The team helped out at the Southern Frontenac Community Services Food Bank where they cleaned, reorganized and stocked the shelves to make it easier to fill the food hampers. It was a

great team building day and an opportunity for RBC to give back to the community. As part of this day RBC provides a $1000 grant to the organization they participate in. These funds will assist many families in the Southern Frontenac Community. – submitted by Tina Hinch

TOWING

by Gerda Franssen, Dale Odorizzi, Lanark County Master Gardeners hat are those strange curly green things growing from the top of my garlic? If you were one of the gardeners who planned ahead last October and planted a variety of hard-necked garlic, right now you might be asking yourself just that question.

Garlic is one of the few plants that provides two harvests. The first crop is those strange curly things, known as Scapes. If you cut off the curly flower stems, your garlic bulbs will grow bigger. Once you have cut them off, they are a delicious addition to your early summer dining.

If you are picking your scapes to energize your garlic, timing isn’t too important but to enjoy the mild, tender stems at their peak, pick them early. Cut the scapes as early as possible, once the flower bulb has begun to form but long before the flower blooms. The scape should still be curly, not straight. Harvest the stem in the heat of the afternoon, when the sap dries more quickly. To harvest, simply snap the stalk with your fingers, just above the first set of leaves. Use scissors or a sharp knife if you don’t want the smell of garlic on your fingers—but who doesn’t want to smell like fresh garlic? If you do not grow garlic, scapes are now a common produce item at local farmers markets. The season is very short.

Trim any woody part from the base of the scape and treat them as you would garlic.

If you have more scapes than you can use fresh, grind them up in your food processor with a little cooking oil. Put them in a 250 ml canning jar or freezer bag and freeze. When you need some garlic, take the jar from the freezer and use as much as you need. The oil prevents the scapes from freezing.

Some other ideas: Steam them like asparagus. Saute in butter until tender. Stir-fry: chop in 2.5 cm lengths and add to your favorite stir-fry. Pickle them. Grill them.

by Julie Druker n June 6, Prince Charles Public School held their Panther Palooza. The annual event Palooza is a chance for the Verona community to come together for some Friday evening fun and to fundraise for the school, which is looking this year to purchase new school sports team uniforms and a new sound system. Palooza is now in its fourth year and was resurrected after a one-year absence.

It is put on by the special events committee of the school’s parent council, and included performances by the 11 student finalists in a talent show that took place earlier in the week. Students played musical instruments and sang and danced on the large stage set up behind the school specially for the event.

Youngsters also had a chance to enjoy a number of games, a petting zoo and barbecue. Inside the school guests had a chance to bid on a number of items, all donated by individuals and local businesses, and a live auction was held outdoors that offered up special theme baskets created by students in each class. Long lines formed in front of school principal, Peter Dendy, who offered up his face as a target for the sponge toss while the locally beloved band Bauder Road performed rock/country favorites from their polished repertoire. Nicki Gowdy, who chairs the special events committee with the parent council, said that Panther Palooza is a great way to wrap up the school year, raise funds for the school, and also for the entire community to get together and enjoy some fair weather outdoor fun.

Local businesses provide services and jobs

by Jeff Green ancy Valyear is not pleased. On Monday she was driving from her home in Henderson to Kingston down the Long Lake Road. But as she turned onto the Wagarville Road she was greeted by a work crew blocking passage over the CP tracks to Road 38.

“There was no signage anywhere along Long Lake Road before we were stopped, and the only suggestion made by the signperson at the roadblock was that I should either go all the way back and take Highway 7 to Sharbot Lake to get to 38 or to go as far as Ducharme Road and take it to 38, both of which meant backtracking,” she said later.

In the end she took Raymo Road south and drove on gravel roads until she reached Piccadilly and rejoined Road 38.

“There was an elderly woman in the car behind me, following me even though I didn’t know exactly where I was going,” said Valyear, “and she seemed quite nervous. What if she was late for a doctor’s appointment or something? As far as I know there was no notification about the road being blocked on Monday.”

When contacted, Central Frontenac Public Works Manager Mike Richardson said that he had been contacted by CP Rail on the previous Monday, and told they were planning to repair the rail crossing on Thursday of last week (June 19). “I told them that was impossible; we wouldn’t even have had time to make up signs, so they put it off until Monday,” said Richardson, “and we asked them to wait until after the school buses had gone by before closing the road off, so they did the closure between 9:00 and 1:00.”

Richardson said that there was not enough time to advertise the closing with a newspaper ad, so all he could do was put a notice on the township website on Thursday about the pending closure.

“We have very little in the way of options when CP needs to do a road closure to fix their equipment. They have a prime use over us,” he said.

Although Nancy Valyear said she would have appreciated signage from the township well back from the closed road so she could have had an easier time finding a detour, she blames CP for the disruption.

“I intend to call them and give them a piece of my mind,” she said.

Outdoors in the Land O’ Lakes - Snapping Turtles in peril M

y neighbours had a visit recently from a large Snapping Turtle. The turtle laid her eggs on a septic bed where the ground was nice and sandy and good for digging.

Snappers have very few natural enemies but their eggs seldom hatch before being eaten by raccoons, foxes, skunks and even opossums. Usually 40 to 50 eggs are laid in a sunny location where they hatch in the fall.

The incubation temperature determines the gender of the hatchlings. A lot of turtle eggs did not hatch last year probably due to the cool rainy weather.

If it rains shortly after the eggs are laid, or if water is generously sprinkled on the site, the eggs may stand a chance of hatching.

Raccoons and other predators can easily smell fresh laid eggs and will destroy the nest and eat all the eggs – water will reduce the enticing odour, though.

Although we have a property nearby, we have seen mostly Painted turtles with only the occasional visit in our bay from a Snapper. Turtles especially love shallow bays with soft sandy or muddy bottoms. They plow along the lake bottom and push mud aside to create little channels that small animals, like frogs, small reptiles, fish and

Palmerston Lake Bass derby

by Julie Druker

, L-r, Robin Soluri and Ron Skevington weigh in with Kate Osborne and Denis Bedard

T

he opening of bass season last weekend attracted fishers in droves to the Land O'Lakes region to take part in a number of bass derbies that offered up many opportunities for fishers to win big. At the Palmerston Lake Marina (formerly the Double S Marina) in Ompah, owners Denis and Rose Bedard held their 11th annual Bass Derby on June 21 and 22.

On Sunday when I visited, boats were making their way to the marina’s main dock for a final noon weigh in, with many participants hoping to bag the $1,000 first place prize. Denis Bedard was handling the fish coming in and staff member Kate Osborne was recording the weights. Adults could weigh in up to eight fish and children up to four. The winners with the greatest average overall took home the prizes. Ron Skevington and Robin Soluri of Frankfurt weighed in two bass that together weighed 4.45 pounds.

It was their second year at the derby and Ron said he came back this year because of its “laid back feel” and his “not having to worry about heavy duty competition since everyone here gets along really well.” This year the derby attracted a total of 41 teams in that many boats. Over 100 people partici-

This year the derby included fishers from Kingston, Ottawa and Perth and many of the participants rented cottages nearby for the weekend.

They offer a prize to all of the children who participate and the young fishers can also win cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25.

The weekend’s big winners were Dan Griffin and Tim McGuire, who took the $1,000 first place prize for their 23.99 pound total; Mark Lemke and Shauna Rowland won $500 for their combined 21.7 pounds and the $250 third place prize went to Tyler Ahsick and Kirt Zummers who weighed in 20.54 pounds.

Specially Protected Reptile under the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. There are other acts that are in place to supposedly protect this reptile but, unfortunately, hunting is still allowed in Ontario (2 Snapping turtles per day per person!) Organizations have strongly urged the Ontario government to remove the Snapping turtle from the list of game species in Ontario but so far they’ve been ignored. You can help by signing a petition - one website I encountered is: action. davidsuzuki.org/snappers In 2012, as reported in the Toronto Star, York Regional police stopped a car travelling the back roads northeast of Toronto.

Police suspected they’d uncovered a stash of marijuana as the car was filled with damp tote boxes. What a surprise when the officers heard “ribbit, ribbit” from one box and a turtle poked its head out from another box!

Police had unknowingly uncovered a wildlife heist. The poachers had plundered the Lake Scugog area and had 10 live Snapping turtles, 123 bullfrogs and 2 Midland painted turtles – animals likely destined for restaurants or the underground exotic pet industry.

Then there are the road hazards. However, please remember that when driving in traffic it is very dangerous to stop to try to help these creatures. Readers are strongly reminded never to create any kind of a traffic hazard in their efforts to save turtles.

Some conservationists fear these slowmoving, ever-chomping creatures from the dinosaur age may be on a path to extinction.

It is the oldest Snapping turtles that are the long-term breeders but, unfortunately, those are the ones that are popular with legal and illegal harvesters because of their large size. If these animals continue to be hunted, the path to extinction will sadly be much quicker.

Let The Sun Shine In

By Suzanne Hoag riving past St. Paul's United Church in Harrowsmith in recent weeks, you may have noticed ladders and scaffolding in the front of the near century-old heritage building.

It has been five years since the church council decided the stained glass windows were in desperate need of repair and now this project is finally underway.

Delay occurred in 2010 when St. Paul's was in a dire finan-

THE FRONTENAC NEWS cial situation. With an internal debt approaching $25,000, rumours circulated that the church would have to close and the stained glass window refurbishing project came to a halt. What happened next is nothing short of a miracle. Within two years, after intensive fund-raising, countless volunteer hours logged by dedicated church members, and overwhelming community support, St. Paul's was back in the black and able to continue its ministry and outreach to the Harrowsmith area.

In 2013, council decided to move cautiously ahead with the project that is estimated to cost around $45,000 and enlisted Mark Thompson of Traditional Glassworks out of Westport to do the restoration work. The work is labour intensive and highly specialized. It involves removing the stained glass and transporting off site so that the glass can be re-leaded and repaired. The frames are being rebuilt as much of the wood is rotting. The stained glass windows are then reinstalled with a tempered glass protective glazing on the outside. This process makes the refurbished windows stable, energy efficient and more visible and esthetically pleasing.

To date, five out of 14 windows have been refurbished. The two transom windows were refurbished using donations made in memory of Mr. Fergus Brown, a long time member of St. Paul's. A previous cookbook fundraiser and individual donations paid for the three east facing windows of the sanctuary.

This project will be on-going as funds become available.

An Old-Fashioned Fish Fry and Corn Roast is our next scheduled window refurbishing fundraiser. Come out and join us on Friday, August 22 from 4:30 to 7 pm! Local pan fried fish is on the menu with fresh corn on the cob, salads and homemade pie. Advance tickets preferred. Adults $13, Children over 6: $6, family rate $30. Advance tickets can be purchased by calling John or Suzanne Hoag at 613-386-7751

PAGE 19

or by visiting Willows Agriservices or Tiffany Gift Shoppe in Harrowsmith. Please note tickets at the door will be $15 for adults; $35 family rate. Child rate will be unchanged. Anyone wishing to make a donation toward the Stained Glass Window Fund may do so by contacting the church at 613-3722525 or by mailing your donation to St. Paul's United Church Harrowsmith, Box 506, Verona, ON K0H 2W0.
