Mississippi Bridge project gets the go ahead

tender was granted in the amount of $2,167,000 to H.R. Doornekamp construction for the replacement of the onelane bridge over the Mississippi River on Road 509 with a two-lane structure. The total cost of the project will be a bit higher, at $2,238,000. A grant from the provincial and federal governments will cover the bulk of the cost, $2 million to be precise. The rest of the cost is being covered by federal gas tax grants from the last few years, which have been held in a reserve fund, so the project will not have an impact on municipal taxation in 2015.

Funding for the project has been sought from provincial/federal infrastructure programs on at least two previous occasions, without success. Ratepayers may be thankful for those rejections, however, because the funding programs at the time covered only 2/3 of the cost of projects, whereas this one will be covering almost 90% of the total cost. There will be minimal disruption during the construction, because the new bridge is being built just to the west of the existing bridge. Once it is completed the road will be rerouted and then the existing bridge will be removed.

Playground equipment with some dissent.

approved,

In their 2014 budget, Council approved an expenditure of just over $44,000 towards an accessible playground structure at a site in Plevna that is also being contemplated for a war memorial and other public uses. The playground structure project was contingent on receiving a $25,000 grant from the Hydro One Power Play fund; however a few weeks ago Hydro One informed the township that they were only going to come through with

$10,000 towards the project. Cory Klatt, manager of community development, asked Council what he should tell Hydro One, leaving them with the option of finding another $15,000 for the project or turning down the $10,000 grant. According to CAO Cheryl Robson, there is enough money in the parkland reserve fund for ward 2 to cover the extra costs. This brought up the question of how much use playground structures get in the Internet age. “Will this be used?” asked Deputy Mayor Fred Perry. “If you build something people will use it,” replied Councilor Gerry Martin. “My concern is that the playground structure in Northbrook is never used,” replied Perry. “There is equipment in Cloyne that nobody uses,” said Councilor Wayne Good. “I understand what people are saying, but I think it is a gamble we should take, a leap of faith,” said Councilor John Inglis. “We are lacking a lot of things, a doctor, a dentist, a bank, but let’s start off with something,” said Councilor Lonnie Watkins. In the end, the expenditure was approved 5-2, with Perry and Good being the dissenting voters.

The township is looking at installing outhouses at five public locations in 2015, including three boat launches, the Cloyne Park, and at a proposed new public use site in Plevna. In response to a request from the Shabomeka Lake Association, Council decided to rent a privy for the Shabomeka boat launch this summer. A number of councilors pointed out that the number of tourist-related boat traffic on

township lakes was very high in late June and over the Canada Day weekend. “These are not seasonal residents, they are families coming to fish our lakes, tourist coming into out township in response to the Fish TV episodes about North Frontenac” said Mayor Bud Clayton. “I agree, these are not local boats,” said Gerry Martin.

Weekly hazardous waste drop off in SF R

esidents of South Frontenac are lucky in that they are able to drop off hazardous waste materials at no charge and no limit on a weekly basis at a designated site in the township. Residents in Central Frontenac on the other hand are given one free opportunity a year to drop off hazardous waste, which if missed means they have to hang onto the stuff for another long year. Recognizing a rising demand for such a service, South Frontenac Township staff opened the hazardous waste site, which is located at 2491 Keeley Road, in June 2011. Built using federal gas tax money, numbers from a 2013 report show that the site was well utilized by residents. In 2013 alone a total of 1683 residents used the service. Staff at the township decided to contract out the collection of the hazardous materials to a company called Drain All Ltd., which runs out of Ottawa and Napanee. Drain All staff man the site, which is open to South Frontenac residents every Thursday from April 1 to October 31, 3 to 8pm and every second and fourth Thursday from No-

vember 1 to March 31, 3 - 7pm. Materials that can be dropped off include dry and wet batteries, antifreeze, aerosols, paints and paint-related materials, adhesives and other corrosive liquids, oil, oil filters, fluorescent tubes, fire extinguishers, flammable liquids, pharmaceutical waste, non-refillable propane containers, pesticides and fertilizers, empty oil and antifreeze containers, electronic waste like televisions, fax machines, cell phones and computers, boat and hay bale wrap, small white appliances like toasters, microwaves and bread makers, and also non-recyclable plastic items such as lawn furniture and other large plastic items. The site does not accept any metal. South Frontenac Public Works Manager, Mark Segsworth is pleased with the numbers reported in 2013 and said that the service “helps to mitigate the impact of hazardous waste on the environment and on the township’s landfills by minimizing the hazardous materials entering the environment through landfill sites.”

OPP costs may be less than first thought – Clayton In his role as Frontenac County Warden, Mayor Clayton has learned that changes are being proposed to the OPP billing system that as of this spring was slated to raise North Frontenac’s cost from just over $200,000 a year to over $1 million a year.

Central Frontenac Council (July 9)

Central Frontenac seeks grant to light up walking park I

by Jeff Green

n what seems like a grant application in search of a project, Central Frontenac Council decided to answer a quick call for proposals from the federal government for an upgrade to a 250 metre stretch of the K&P trail in the middle of Sharbot Lake. The section runs from the end of the Sharbot Lake beach to the government dock and railway park across from the township office. A plan that was brought before Council last fall called for the installation of bollards, cement barricades that would preclude cars and trucks from using that section of the trail. The grant application, which is for $50,000, calls for surface treatment for wheelchair accessibility, motorized and non-motorized companion paths, benches and lighting for use at night. “The most expensive part of the proposal is the lighting, which will cost $30,000,” said Councilor Frances Smith, in proposing that Council make the application. “This was announced at the beginning of July and the deadline is August 1st, and it only applies to municipalities with populations under 125,000. We have no idea what kind of uptake it will have,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski, who supported the proposal, which was accepted by Council. Mayoralty race to lead to a folk duet? The race for mayor between incumbent Janet Gutowski and Frances Smith remains at an early, friendly stage, and it did come up at this week’s meeting in Arden, which was hosted by the Friends of Arden and the

Kennebec Fire Department, who put on a spread for Council and the residents in attendance. When Kyle Labett, the waste management supervisor, said that volunteers are still being accepted for the Hazardous Waste Recycling Day on July 19 in Sharbot Lake, Mayor Gutowski said, “Frances and I will certainly be there, holding hands and singing Kumbaya.” The AGM of the Sharbot Lake Property Owners Association (SLPOA) takes place on the same morning, and both candidates are expected at that gathering. No luck on Sharbot Lake boat launch The candidates may hear about this one at the SLPOA meeting. On the request of a delegation from association, council asked township staff to look into the possibility of using township land or finding a piece of land for sale for a public boat launch on the east basin of Sharbot Lake. Currently the boat launch on the west basin is used and boats travel under the bridge at Road 38, but that is not always possible in the high water of some spring seasons, such as this year. In a report, Kyle Labett looked at seven properties, and concluded that none of them are viable without significant expenditures. “If the township decides to move ahead with any of the choices listed above there will be significant financial costs associated with constructing the launch, building an entry road and parking lot, and possible landowner agreements will need to be developed,” he concluded.

A conservation officer from the MNR had been conducting surveillance from a hidden vantage point when he witnessed the illegal activity.

South Frontenac Council – July 9

Financial Audit Report Howard Allan, a Chartered Accountant from Perth, reviewed his company’s audit of South Frontenac’s 2013 finances. Mr Allan made it clear that his approach was broader than merely reviewing the financial statements; it included a thorough review of governance policies and administrative and decision-making processes relating to “The orderly and efficient conduct of the Township’s business.” Although he made a few minor recommendations, Allan’s overall report was very positive. He complimented staff on their cooperation, high level of professionalism and well-maintained records. “The Township’s financial position is strong.”

Letter Re: Pride in Canada

eff Green's July 3 editorial in praise of tolerance in Canada, which is exemplified for him by the Pride parade in Toronto, ignores the fact that there is no tolerance or protection in Canada for gay people or for any other Canadians at the beginning of their lives. Society has merely shifted its choice of which groups of people to bestow tolerance upon. It's still open season on anyone while they are in their mothers' wombs, particularly for anyone who is thought to have a disability. No diversity tolerated there. After my father died in 1961, leaving my mother with five children, Canada welcomed us and cared for us, for which we are forever grateful. At that time all Canadians at all stages of their lives, including gay people, had the same protection from murder under the law. That blanket of protection was torn apart many years ago; in that respect the intolerance in Canada is much worse today and the situation could deteriorate further as a vocal minority seeks to legalize the killing of another large group of Canadians – those who are suffering physically or mentally deceptively calling it “healing their pain” or “end-of-life care”. Killing is not care. Legalizing “assisted” suicide could directly impact the gay community as gay youth are statistically more likely to commit suicide. Or would there be suicide prevention strategies for some groups and assisted suicide for others? Jule Koch

SINCE 1970 Development Charges Update South Frontenac is the only township in the County that presently levies development charges. A development charge is a fee that may be added to residential building permits, to help offset the increased costs of providing services to the new residents. Although the highest percentage of the charge goes to public works (roads, bridges, equipment), money is also apportioned to fire protection, police services, general government, recreation and libraries. A public meeting to review the Ainsley Group’s back-

Re: septic re-inspection

rent Cameron's comments on mandatory septic re-inspection once again are accurate and articulate to the point I would urge him to either run for mayor or else step up to the plate when either Scott or Randy retire. I do have some news for Central Frontenac Township though which is applicable to any municipality as well. No entity has the legal right to force anyone off their own property if their septic system does not pass the test. Outdoor bathrooms, air conditioned in winter are still legal and not having indoor plumbing is not a criminal offence and has not been from the dawn of time. Do not fear having to spend a small fortune to accommodate the present day tyrants in political office as they have neither the legal right nor power to impose their bent on anyone. Merely remove your toilet, spend a hundred, and erect a little ole shack out back. End of problem. I knew a fellow who lived in a garage on his own property who was fearful of his neighbors reporting him. Truth is, it was HIS property and if he had wanted, he could have lived in a yak skinned tent, wallowed on the mud, and dressed in camel hides all with impunity. I also contend that nobody in the capacity of bureaucrat, bylaw officer, or other capacity can legally enter private property without permission of the owner. Most people have

Some children experience motion sickness while traveling in cars. To minimize this have the child focus on things outside the car; use a pillow to keep the head still, and provide adequate air ventilation. Depending on the child’s age, some medications may help. Acupressure wrist bands also help some people with motion sickness. They are non-medicated. Check with our pharmacists for advice. If a nose bleed occurs while traveling (or at anytime), tilt the head forward and pinch the soft part of the nostrils for 5 minutes. If the nose bleed still hasn’t stopped, do it for another 5 minutes and if it still hasn’t stopped, get medical attention. One tip to see if your body has been getting enough. fluid is to check the colour of your urine. If it’s a dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. During the hot days of summer, it’s important to drink more water since we lose a lot of fluid through sweating. People who have adopted a slovenly lifestyle for decades often feel it’s too late to change their health for the better. Not so! Just paying attention to four key healthy habits can change your health for the better no matter what your age. These habits are: eating five or more fruits and vegetables daily, not smoking, exercising (even walking) 30 minutes per day five days per week, and keeping your weight in the healthy range. When you think of it, it’s not much But your heart will thank you! Take charge of your own health and let our pharmacists be on your health team.

Young entrepreneur launches “WeDrink” E

by Julie Druker arlier this month, motivated by concern about the environment and a love of business, young entrepreneur Hayden Rasberry launched his own business called WeDrink. The 16-year-old KCVI student, who divides his time between Kingston and Yarker, was one of the vendors at this year’s Canada Day celebration in Harrowsmith. WeDrink offers consumers a unique, reusable glass water bottle that Rasberry designed and has had manufactured. He said that the number one reason for starting up the business was his awareness of “the growing demand for glass water bottles in and around the Kingston area.” He noticed, for example, that the Limestone Organic Creamery's glass bottles were being used by people post consumption to store their drinks. He said, “I knew that I could create a better, lighter weight glass bottle that was actually meant to be used and carried around.” Environmental and social concerns were a second motivation and Hayden said that his bottles are great

for the environment since they are 100% recyclable, and as they are not plastic, they lack the health concerns associated with plastic water bottles, many of which, prior to 2008, contained bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical compound associated with health problems. WeDrink bottles are made from high-density, thin, lightweight glass. They are long-lasting, can be used for hot and cold drinks, which Rasberry says “taste much better when drunk from glass”, are dishwasher safe and come with a neoprene cover and a washable stainless steel cap. Rasberry says that the glass used in WeDrink bottles is less breakable than ordinary glass, and he is trying to help people overcome their fear of using a glass drink bottle. He has done numerous tests on his bottles and said they can withstand breakage from a one-metre drop onto concrete. The neoprene covers, which are available in five colors, are included in the cost of $15 per bottle and also help to protect them. “We use so much glass in our homes every day; it’s in our cups and plates and the very thin wine glasses and I am trying to encourage consumers to see that a glass drink bottle is a viable alternative to metal and plastic bottles.” Rasberry's company is also partnered with a charity called Watercan, which helps to bring clean water to communities in need. Ten percent of the profits from each WeDrink bottle goes to WaterCan, hence the name of the business. “Every time a WeDrink bottle is sold, someone much less fortunate benefits as well.” Rasberry strongly feels that by offering an environmentally safe alternative to plastic water bottles and

by supporting a local charitable organization, he is meeting the needs of his customers and he reported that the business, at this early stage, is doing well. Just one week after its launch he is close to having sold the first 200 bottles he had manufactured and will be ordering 400 more. This summer Rasberry will be able to focus on the business full-time after receiving a $3,000 grant from Summer Company. “My goal this summer is to establish a solid base as well as trying to gauge the consumer demand in Kingston and the surrounding area. After that, I am going to consider expanding to other cities and areas in the fall.” The business has caught the attention of some potential investors, who he said are hoping to help him grow the brand. This fall Hayden Rasberry will be returning to KCVI for grade 11 and said that he will be putting academics as his primary focus. He plans to study commerce after graduating from high school and said he has a huge interest in business, especially those that focus on environmental and social issues. “I'm convinced that triple bottom line companies like WeDrink, which focus on people, the planet and profit are the businesses of the future. Because the people denying problems, like global warming, are becoming fewer and fewer, companies like this one offer consumers an opportunity to relieve some of the anxiety and stress they have about these issues while offering up a product with social and environmental benefits.” Rasberry credits his parents, musician Gary Rasberry and Rena Upitis, founder of Wintergreen Studios, for helping him build the company. “Not only did I have a place to stay and food to eat while I was planning and setting up the business, but both my parents gave me a lot of good advice, since both have experience as entrepreneurs.” WeDrink bottles are sold at Plover's and Living Rooms in downtown Kingston and will be available at a permanent summer retail location soon to be announced on the company’s website. Hayden will also be selling the bottles at a number of different events throughout the summer, which are also listed on the website. Customers can also order bottles at www.WeDrink.ca

ast year, the duo Ennis, which features sisters Maureen and Karen Ennis from Newfoundland, had a good time performing to a packed house at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn and so they decided to include a return gig when they were planning a Canadian tour for this summer. Their audience was waiting for them, none more so than 99-year-old Annie Cahill. In fact at the break between the two sets they performed last Wednesday (July 2), Annie dragged her two daughters up to the bar, not for a drink but to buy CDs. Annie, whose great grand-daughter Cadence works at the Country Inn, went to see Ennis last year, partly because her grandfather was an Ennis and so she has roots in the same family. Annie was born and raised on the Wilmer Road near Perth Road Village. She moved to Perth Road proper when she grew up, married and had eight children. She enjoyed the show last year “Around Christmas time I got a call from Annie. She asked me if the Ennis sisters were coming back any time in the coming year. As it happens they had already booked July 2 , so Annie told me to reserve her a ticket,” said Sandra White of the Country Inn. The show was a bit of an early birthday outing for Annie, who lives in a seniors' home in Napanee. She turns 100 in

Fools at MERA I

by Kristine Swaren

n order to escape the political jungle of lethal ‘wrastlers,’ family feuds and tyrannical leaders, a motley crew of characters find themselves in the Forest of Arden. This place of exile quickly becomes a hotbed of foolishness as the banished Rosalind, disguised in men’s attire, comes across her love, Orlando. Not wanting to be recognized, she calls herself Ganymede and offers to be Orlando’s servant, of sorts. Because in Shakespeare when a girl wears pants she’s instantly unrecognizable, Orlando agrees to take wooing lessons from Ganymede to ease the burden of his own broken heart over Rosalind. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, a band of quirky castaways, led by Rosalind’s exiled father, Duke Senior, all attempt to rediscover themselves. Will Rosalind and Orlando find love? Find out in As You Like It, being performed Wed. July 23, 7 pm at the MERA schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners. This is “torchlight Shakespeare” by a Company of Fools, an Ottawa-based troupe. For this outdoor show, bring a lawn chair or blanket and bug spray. Pass-the-hat donations are collected at the end of the performance. To enjoy a full “dinner-and-theatre” evening, arrive at 5:30 for the McDonalds Corners Farmers’ Market supper. Bring your own plates and cutlery. For more information, visit www.fools.ca or www.meraschoolhouse.org or call Kristine Swaren at 613-278-1226.

What’s Up in the Night Sky H umidity, clouds and rain just about sums it up for June. On the few nights that were cloudless, high humidity made for poor transparency. It was like looking through a foggy window with only the brightest stars showing. It was also a month for an amateur astronomer’s favourite sport – mosquito wrestling! Let’s hope the weather improves because the summer months are rich with the most spectacular binocular and telescope objects to observe. On a dark, clear night there are star clusters and even a galaxy (Andromeda) that can be seen by the eye, and who can forget the vastness of the Milky Way stretching above from horizon to horizon. Let’s go on a little tour. There is a trio of constellations that make for rewarding binocular observing throughout the summer. They are Hercules, Corona Borealis and Bootes and they stretch straight overhead in a line from east to west. The best way to find them is to use the Summer Triangle as a reference point to orient you in the sky. I have mentioned the Summer Triangle in previous columns but let’s review finding it. Face south and look up. Almost overhead is a bright star called Vega. It’s in the constellation Lyra. Let your eyes slide about 25 degrees (a clenched fist at arm’s length is 10 degrees; your little finger is 1 degree) to the east. You are now in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan, and the star that is almost as bright as Vega is called Deneb. To find the final star, look southeast from Vega about

30 degrees. You have arrived at Aquila, the Eagle, and the star that is as bright as Vega is called Altair. Now that you have the Summer Triangle in your sights, move your eyes west from Vega about 20 degrees. This is the middle of Hercules. It is shaped like a box with stars branching off from its 4 corners. The globular cluster, Messier 13, is about a third of the way down the west side of the box. Messier 92, also a globular, can be found about 8 degrees above the middle of the top (north) side of Hercules. Both of these DSOs (Deep Sky Objects) are easy binocular objects. Moving west 10 degrees and down a bit, there is an oval of stars that form a bowl. This is Corona Borealis and, although there are no DSOs nearby, it is a beautiful constellation to observe and investigate. There is a fascinating star sitting about a third of the way from the east side of the bowl and about 2 degrees above the bottom. It is called R Coronae and it fades and brightens at unpredictable intervals. It is the most prominent star in the bowl even at minimum. Astronomers believe that the star accumulates clouds of ‘soot’ in its atmosphere that masks the light coming from its surface. When the soot disperses, the star brightens up! Now move west another 10 degrees to Bootes. It is shaped somewhat like a violin and the bright star Arcturus is at the bottom where the finger board would be. Arcturus is the brightest star in the northern hemisphere and has a lovely light orange colour. Seamen of ancient times considered this star unlucky!

Up to the north west of Bootes you will bump into the end of the handle of the Big Dipper - the asterism that is part of the constellation Ursa Major. About 5 degrees above the end star of the handle (or ‘tail’ of the Great Bear) is the Pinwheel galaxy (Messier 101) and roughly 4 degrees below the end of the tail is the Whirlpool galaxy (Messier 51). A modest telescope is advisable for both of these DSOs. Earth was at aphelion on July 3rd. I always get a kick out of thinking that the Earth is farthest from the Sun during the hottest time of the year! Of course, it’s the tilt of the Earth that governs our winter/summer seasons. The full Moon this month is on the 12th. It is often called the Full Buck Moon. This is the month when the antlers of buck deer are developing and growing. We can all use a few extra bucks of the other kind too! It’s also often called the Full Thunder Moon since thunderstorms are more frequent during this month– and we’ve had a few lately for sure. It’s haying season too and another name is the Full Hay Moon. Mars is about 1 ½ degrees above Spica in the evening. Do you remember how to find Spica? Use the saying “around the arc to Arcturus and speed on to Spica”. Along a great curving arc from the end of the handle of the Big Dipper we go about 25 degrees to find Arcturus. Continuing on about an equal distance, we bump into Spica. On the 22nd the Moon is 1 ½ degrees to the left of Aldebaran at dawn and on the 24th , just before

sunrise, the waning crescent Moon is 5 or so degrees to the right of Venus low in the east north east. Jupiter is behind the Sun on this date. Saturn can be found in the south west at dusk and sets about 2 am. The new moon makes an appearance on July 26th. This is your first heads up for one of the finest meteor showers of the year. The dependable and active Perseids will light the sky on the evening of August 12-13. Mark that date! Now I offer you a challenge: the first person to send me the proper name of the star ‘Alpha Coronae’ and describe or make a drawing of where it is in its constellation, will receive a handy little planisphere to use to find your way around the night sky! Add anything special that you can tell me about the star. Can you describe a Globular Cluster? “The Beginner’s Observing Guide” by Leo Enright is an invaluable companion for adventures in the sky. It contains star charts and is available at the Sharbot Lake Pharmacy. It can also be ordered from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada at www. rasc.ca/publications. A subscription to our very own excellent Canadian astronomy magazine “SkyNews”, with its centerfold sky chart, can be arranged at the RASC website as well. Let me know how your observing has gone this month, especially anything unusual. I enjoy the feedback. If you have any questions or suggestions you can contact me through this paper or email me at fred. barrett2@sympatico.ca. Clear Skies! Fred.

Outdoors in the Land O’ Lakes - Bird Strikes

he house we live in has quite a few windows. The main purpose of building our house near Sharbot Lake was so that we could live in a rich natural setting. Having a lot of glass allows tons of natural light into the house, affords great views into the forest, and helps us feel more connected to the natural environment. All is good. Unfortunately, birds and glass don't mix well at all. I have been aware that having lots of glass in a bird-rich environment might result in birds striking our widows. However, up until recently we weren’t aware of any bird strikes at our house at all -- not to say there weren’t any, rather that we had no evidence that any had happened. Then in April, all that changed. First a little about bird-window strikes. Some estimates suggest that the number of North American birds killed in bird-

19th Portland & District Bass Derby by Julie Druker

Cole, Riley and Kyler participated at the Bass Derby t is the generosity of the sponsors coupled with great fishing on the back lakes surrounding Hartington that attract bass fishers year after year from far and wide to the annual Portland and District Firefighters' Bass Derby. The derby this year attracted close to 100 participants, a little fewer than last year but making for a greater chance for fishers to win big. Over 50 sponsors from local businesses and individuals donated items and the biggest sponsors of this year's derby included Percy Snider and L.D. Powersports, who donated a 13 foot Smoker Craft bass boat, and Leonard Fuels, who donated a trailer. The second prize was a Mark 4 HDI fish finder and third prize was a Shakespeare electric 38 pound trolling motor. The first place prize for youngsters was a CCM Mountain bike and every child received a prize; many left with brand new fishing rods. The event included a 50/50 draw. Funds raised from the derby are used to help the firefighters purchase necessary equipment for the hall. Volunteer firefighter Ron Neil announced the winners after the 5pm weigh in and many happy fishers young and old left with prizes under their arms. Congratulations to Stan Babcock, whose 4.38 pound catch landed him the boat and trailer.

by Steve Blight window crashes range as high as 100 million per year. Some birds seem to recover quickly and fly off; others die instantly; still others take up to several hours before they seem to recover sufficiently to fly off. Unfortunately even some that appear to recover are believed to die later from injuries sustained in the crash. One expert estimates that 1 out of 2 of all window crashes end up with a dead bird. One morning in April I was sitting at our kitchen table and heard a muffled but loud "thud" from above my shoulder -- and right away I knew it was a bird. We went outside, fearing the worst, and lying on its side on the deck looking quite stunned was a tiny Golden-Crowned Kinglet. It was alive but doing poorly. After a frantic search for what to do (thank you Google), we determined the best thing to do was to capture the bird carefully with a towel, and place it in a small, partly-closed box located in a sheltered outdoor spot away from predators and give it time to recover. So that is what we did, crossed our fingers and waited. Within about an hour, the kinglet had flown off, to an unknown future. The very next morning the sorry story was repeated with a Hermit Thrush. Same solution -- towel, box, wait two hours and it was gone. A couple of days later was the last straw -- within the span of several hours a Hairy Woodpecker then a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker had hit the same window, and received the same box-wait treatment. Since the kinglet window strike, I had been searching for a solution with increasing desperation, and dreading the awful thud of another bird strike. It seemed so wrong to have chosen to share space with birds that come from as far away as Brazil and then be responsible for their deaths. Fortunately there is a great source of information on bird strikes available on the All About Birds website, sponsored by Cornel University in New York State (http://www.allaboutbirds.org). In my opinion it is the best website dedicated to North American birds out there, and a quick search on window strikes led to all sorts of useful info on why birds strike windows and measures that can be taken to reduce their incidence.

Canada Day Run 2014 T

wenty-two runners toed the line for this year’s race on June 6. After a few words of welcome from the mayor and the sounding of a car horn, the runners were off chasing after Joe Climie’s antique car. This year’s route followed the former train tracks heading north from the Sharbot Lake Beach. 2k winners were Graham Melkman and Macy Whan; 5k winners were Sean Sheehan and Liz Bigelow, and the 10k winners were Jeff Green and Jessica Harvie. All participants received finishers’ medals. It was great to see visitors to the area take part. Thanks to all the volunteers at registration, water stations, marshals, and timers who helped make the race safe. $170 was raised for the Oso Recreation Committee. - submitted by Joan Hollywood

PAGE 11 would very much encourage anyone who is upset about bird strikes at their home to visit the site. Three things can really help. First, try simply moving your feeders and birdbaths to new locations. Bird strikes usually occur at particular windows, so moving feeders farther away (minimum 30 feet) from them may solve the problem entirely. You can also try placing your feeders much closer to the glass—if a feeder is just a foot or two from a window, birds may still fly into it, but not with enough force to injure themselves. Second, avoid apparent visual tunnels. Bright windows on the opposite wall from your picture window may give the illusion of a visual tunnel through which birds may try to fly. Try making one window less transparent by keeping a shade drawn or a door closed, or by altering the lighting inside the house. Third, find a way to break up the reflections caused by large expanses of glass. Note that single stickers of hawks rarely work -- it isn't the fear of the predator's silhouette that keeps the birds from the widow, but the fact that the reflection is broken up. Multiple stickers are needed to be effective. Another way is to hang dangling objects from the outside of the widow -- the inside of the window won't work as it does not break up the reflection. The All About Birds site provides many different creative solutions that may work for you. Our solution was to stretch a curtain of thin hanging cords, spaced 4 inches apart, across the group of windows where the bird strikes occurred. The design came from another website called Acopian Bird Savers (www.birdsavers.com), which provides instructions on how to make the curtains as well as offers them for sale. I bought some white vinyl 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch trim and sticky-backed Velcro from Home Depot, ordered the prescribed drab olive-coloured 1/8 inch nylon paracord on-line from Ropeshop.ca, enlisted my creative daughter's help, and got to work. After about a day's work, the finished product was ready for installation The picture accompanying this article illustrates the final product that we installed on the outside of our windows. It ended up being fairly inexpensive, not difficult to make, and easy to install. We put the rope curtain up at the beginning of May, and the evidence so far is encouraging -- no bird strikes on these windows since. A Veery recently crashed into a different window (it flew off after one hour of the box treatment described above), and that window will get its own rope curtain treatment in short order. Window strikes are a serious problem for our birds, but there are inexpensive and practical ways to reduce their incidence. I am hopeful that with a little effort (and quite of bit of Paracord!), our family will be able to safely share our living space with families of birds for many years to come.

Drew Cumpson seeking independence

rew Cumpson soldiers on. The 23-year-old, whose story is familiar to News readers, has been living in St. Mary’s Hospital in Kingston and attending Guelph University through correspondence. However, now he has a chance to move back home. That’s where we come in. A little over three years ago, on the last day of a 12-day voluntary labour trip to Peru with 11 other Guelph students, he was swimming in the ocean when a massive undertow sent him crashing to the ocean floor, breaking his neck and leaving him a quadriplegic. Community support kicked in from Godfrey, where the Cumpson family lived, as well as from the Sydenham High School and Guelph University communities. For the next year, medical complication after medical complication added further stress to Drew and his family, who were also preparing to sell their house on Bobs Lake and build a fully accessible house close to Kingston because of the medical care that Drew requires. Through all of this, Drew’s parents Jim and Heather worked tirelessly on his behalf, with Heather acting as a bulwark against a sometimes-intractable medical system, and Jim building the new house. Drew’s health stabilized, he stopped having infections, and his body healed. The house was completed in May of 2013, but by then Heather was herself very sick with cancer. She died a year ago this week at the same hospital where Drew is living. “I would be dead now without the things she did in the first year after my accident. I learned from her that you need to take control over your situation, that you need to be clear

about what you need and you need to be informed, and you need to turn a no into a yes sometimes,” he said. It is in that spirit that Drew has carried on in his struggle for independence, and the next goal in front of him is to breathe on his own. “Right now I am not eligible for enough home nursing care to leave the hospital so I have to stay here,” he said from his room at St. Mary’s early this week. However there is a Drew Cumpson solution. A diaphragmatic pacemaker has been successfully used on patients in Drew’s condition. It works on the lungs the way a pacemaker works on the heart, sending an electrical signal to stimulate breathing. It can cut down or eliminate the need for a ventilator entirely. The procedure to implant the device has been approved in Canada, and with the help of his doctor at St. Mary’s, Drew has a surgical team lined up to do the operation in Toronto. The only problem is that, while the surgery will be covered by OHIP, the device will not be paid for. It costs $35,000. A few weeks ago Drew started up a fundraising campaign on the website Indiegogo to raise that money. He has raised $7,000 since June 27, and he called the News

this week to help get the word out about it. A benefit concert at the Grand Theatre in Kingston is being contemplated for the fall, but the Indiegogo campaign runs until August 27. The Indiegogo posting includes a 6-minute documentary about Drew and some further information. It can be accessed by going to Indiegogo.com and searching “Help Drew Breathe” or by pasting the following in: www. indiegogo.com/projects/ help-drew-breathe. In the meantime Drew is not waiting. He is initiating the surgery regardless; trusting that he can find the money for the device by the time the surgery is scheduled. At the same time, he continues to take courses at Guelph through correspondence. He expects to obtain his degree in the Tourism and Hospitality Program in 2016 and hopes to start working after that, likely specializing in the accessibility aspects of the industry. “Eventually I want to open a bar and restaurant in Kingston some day, a Southern, Cajun-themed place.” You can almost taste the Filé Gumbo already.
