Robertsville Ambulance Base grand opening

F

rontenac County celebrated the completion of its rural infrastructure last week with the opening of the third ambulance base in the County.

The new base is located at Hwy. 509 and Robertsville Road, and although it is odd to see an ambulance base at such an isolated location, it is located strategically to serve residents of North and Central Frontenac, Lanark Highlands and Tay Valley, while being within a short drive of Hwy. 7. It also eliminates a situation that was one of the first things that Charboneau wanted to address when he first arrived at Frontenac County eight years ago.

At the time, the ambulance serving the north end of the county was parked outside in the parking lot at the works garage for North Frontenac at Lavant Road and Road 509. Because of the equipment and medicine in the vehicle the ambulance had to be left running in order to prevent freezing throughout each shift through the winter season, costing money for fuel and causing unnecessary pollution.

“That was the first thing I wanted to address when I came here,” Charbonneau said a couple of years ago, “it was the impetus for us to commission the IBI [consulting group] report into rural service delivery in 2009.”

That report recommended that an ambulance post be built in the vicinity of Ardoch Road and Road 509 in Central Frontenac to serve the northern portion of the county for 12 hours a day; that a 24-hour a day service be established in Sydenham; and that the 24-hour service that was already running out of the Parham base be maintained.

Although the stated priority of the department was the so-called ‘northern’ base, and funding was already in place to build it, the Sydenham base was built first. This hap-

(L to R) Paul Charbonneau, Bud Clayton and Shauna Dunn pened for two reasons. For one thing, South Frontenac Council applied for and received an infrastructure grant to build the base, and the money had to be spent within a limited time frame. As well, North Frontenac Township Council did not want to see the northern base located so far south, at a location that is not even in North Frontenac. The Mayor of North Frontenac at that time was Ron Maguire, and with the support of his own council he urged Frontenac County to consider an alternate plan, which had also been referred to in the report but not recommended as a first option by the IBI group. That plan was to build a base in Ompah, almost 20 km to the northwest of the preferred location. The

Drone demo at Oso beach

T

hose attending the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market and others enjoying Oso beach on July 19 likely noticed some unusual sights hovering overhead.

Two drones operated by Alex Wright, owner of the Toronto-based business Drone Depot, were part of a special presentation he gave at the market. Wright set up a booth from where he piloted two of the Chinese-made drones he sells. Onlookers were invited to view a screen that showed the real time recorded images of the market venue from the drones’ cameras hundreds of feet overhead.

Wright gave demos of the larger Octocopter drone (which I did not get a chance to see) and also the DJI Phantom 2 drone, a white, four propeller 1.5 foot long drone that he flew using a remote control. Demonstrating the control possible with the drones, he made the Phantom 2 hover just feet from his face and then launched it into the sky over Sharbot Lake, informing onlookers that it has a range of 1500 metres.

The images received from the Phantom 2’s camera were clear, stable and fascinatingly picturesque, offering market goers and vendors a chance to see themselves, the venue and the surrounding landscape from angles that they most certainly have never seen before nor will ever see again.

caveat to this plan was that the Parham base would eventually need to be closed and replaced by a base in Sharbot Lake in order to cover calls from Hwy. 7.

North Frontenac Council purchased a piece of land in Ompah to house not only the ambulance base but a township fire hall as well in the same building, Frontenac County Council agreed to enter into a joint project with North Frontenac. However, that project never came about, as costs rose to a level that North Frontenac Council could not accept.

Eventually, North Frontenac pulled out, leaving Frontenac County to go back to the drawing board. They settled on the Robertsville site, which is just north of the site identified

by Jeff Green

by the IBI group, and is in North Frontenac rather than Central Frontenac. Travel time to Hwy. 7 is almost the same, and the Robertsville Road, although it is a hilly gravel road, is the fastest route to Lanark County from that part of North Frontenac.

For local history buffs, the location is directly across the road from the former Robertsville mine site, where protests against uranium exploration took place in the summer of 2008.

As the building project was getting underway, a decision was made by County Council to upgrade the status of the Robertsville location from an ambulance post to an ambulance base. As a post attached to the Parham base, the paramedics would report each day to Parham at 6 am to pick up their ambulance and drive it to Robertsville.

They would also return to Parham by 6 pm.

By making Robertsville a base, the ambulance stays there and the paramedics report directly there, making it a true 12-hour a day service.

“Whether they live in one of our small hamlets, on one of our lake fronts, in agricultural lands or deep in the forest, residents of Frontenac County value their independence,” said Bud Clayton, Warden of Frontenac County and Mayor of North Frontenac, at the ceremonial opening of the base last Wednesday, July 16. “Ensuring that adequate services, like strategically placed ambulance stations, are in place allows our residents to continue enjoying the rural lifestyle that defines Frontenac County.”

The ribbon cutting ceremony came after Frontenac County Council held their monthly meeting in the base. Lunch was provided by the Snow Road FLAGS (Fire Ladies Auxiliary Group)

Wright’s business not only sells a wide selection of the DJI drones, which in Wright’s words, “are the leading makers of consumer drones”, but also all the necessary technology to go along with them. He trains buyers to fly the drones at his Drone Depot Flight School and also offers service and repairs. Wright had nothing but good things to say about the DJI drones. “These have flight controllers that make these drones extremely flyable, stable and level. You can fly them around like a camera track in the sky because they have 3D stabilization in them.

Before these, you had to fight to keep the drone in one position. Now you can release the controls and the drone will hover in one single spot.”

His demonstartions brought his point home. Both the Phantom 2 and the Octocopter flew like things from a sci-fi movie precisely, smoothly and with a soft beating hum. These drones use DJI Light Bridge technology, which allows Wright to send a 1080 P digital video downlink from the drone to a smart phone or TV screen.

Wright is often hired to film special events and recently he used the drones to film the Tim Horton’s Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival on June 21 and 22. “We had TVs set up on the beach so people could watch and had live digital broadcasting that also went out

to viewers on CTV”.

Wright was also recently hired by the owners of the Sumac Centre in Central Frontenac to film their extensive property for promotional purposes. Wright said that filming and broadcasting has become a big part of his business.

Transport Canada requires drone pilots of commercial flights to acquire special permission and a special flight The Phantom 2 hovers at left, a few feet in front of Alex Wright as he demoperations certificate. onstrates its capabilities.

Wright also said that presently commercial terrible for the industry.” drone flights are not allowed in the US yet.

Wright said that the DJI drones he sells In Canada currently there are no regulations have a special no-fly zone feature that on recreational drone flights, something that causes them to auto land if they fly within 1.5 Wright does not agree with. “I think there kilometres of an airport.

Councilor's comments spark response from EMS chief

by Jeff Green avid Jones, a member of Frontenac County Council representing the Township of Frontenac Islands, expressed his continuing unhappiness at the rate of absenteeism among Frontenac County employees at a meeting of council last week.

His comments were occasioned by two reports by Colleen Hickey, the county manager of human resources - a quarterly attendance management report card for April to June of this year, and a monthly attendance report for June. The reports were ordered by county council last year in an attempt to get a grip on rising rates of absenteeism at Frontenac Paramedic Services and Fairmount Home, the county’s two major operations.

Although the reports show that the rate is trending down at Frontenac Paramedic Services, Jones was not satisfied.

“We are near the end of our term, people,” he said, “and we saw that the numbers were going up and up each year. Just because they are down a little does not mean we have accomplished anything. We are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars each year here. Folks, if this was your business you wouldn’t stand for it.”

Then, looking at the report on his com-

he paused, then said, “I was just musing, there has been a marked improvement in 2014, brought on partly by new leadership that’s all.”

Shauna Dunn, the newly minted president at the local and a new attitude at Frontenac of OPSEU Local 462, which represents the County.

“We held a workshop session in the winparamedics, commented on news reports about Jones’ comments by elaborating on ter with our new executive, and managesome of the points made by Paul Charbon- ment people and I think both sides found it neau: “ Paramedics are frontline health care very helpful,” she said.

For his part, Paul Charbonneau said that workers, in close contact with sick people, multiple times per shift. We routinely face “We are working on a culture change besituations where we are exposed to saliva, tween ourselves and the union, and I think mucous, blood, vomit, urine, and feces.

puter screen, he said, “We will see what happens to the numbers now that summer time is here. I wonder if they will go up again.”

Jones’ comments were not unusual, or unexpected. He reportedly made similar comments earlier in the week when new County CAO Kelly Pender was making a courtesy call to a meeting of Addington Highlands Council.

However, this time Chief of Paramedics, Paul Charbonneau, took offence and spoke up in an unprecedented manner.

Noting that there have been ten suicides among emergency services personnel recently in Canada, he said, “It is cumulative stress dealing with the shit that we deal with every day that is responsible for this. You can’t compare what paramedics face each day with what happens in the private sector where people sit on their asses all day at a desk.”

When Jones was questioned after the meeting as to whether he believes that Frontenac County paramedics have been faking illness to get time off, he replied, “I did not say that.”

When further pressed about his comments regarding whether workers are more likely to call in sick during the summer,

Sharbot Lake Criminal Court - July 21

Guilty pleas

Curtis Fox, 34, charged with impaired driving and operation of a motor vehicle over the legal limit, pleaded guilty to both charges.

On July 5 at 8:20 PM the accused was involved in a single motor vehicle collision on Raymo Road when a pick up truck he was driving collided with a tree. Two OPP constables called to the scene found Fox intoxicated and trapped in the vehicle. Witnesses reported that one individual on the scene began throwing empty beer cans and other empties from the truck bed. Empty beer bottles and vodka bottles were found on the scene. The accused suffered a broken rib and injured right knee in the accident and was attended to by paramedics.

Breath samples taken three hours after the incident showed Fox’s alcohol blood levels over twice the legal limit. Fox spoke in court and said he takes full responsibility for his actions and apologized for the incident. His parents were also present in the courtroom.

Judge Wright called the incident a “very serious matter” and told Fox “You realize that this could have turned out much worse.” Fox was given a $2200 fine and is prohibited from driving for one year.

Andrew Churchley, 25 pleaded guilty to a charge of mischief. On May 17 Churchley was found operating a motorized 14 foot

aluminum vessel on Crotch Lake.

OPP SINCE Two 1970 constables from Sharbot Lake performing a routine equipment check on the vessel observed open alcohol and numerous empty containers of alcoholic beverages on board.

They said the accused appeared “flushed and glassy-eyed”. At that time Churchley admitted to consuming four or five drinks and said his last drink was more than one hour before. Two breath samples taken from Churchley at the time recorded readings of 92 and 84 mg/100ml after which he was placed under arrest.

The Crown and Duty Counsels agreed to a joint submission prohibiting the accused from operating a motor vehicle or vessel other than for the purposes of work, or for travel to and from school or work for six months.

He was also was given a $400 fine and was ordered to report to a probation officer.

Churchley spoke and admitted to making a mistake on that day. The judge accepted the joint submission. A charge of operating a vehicle with blood alcohol over 80 mg/100 ml of blood was withdrawn by the crown.

Letter to the editor Buying Local

I

just made an interesting discovery that I want to share with locals and visitors alike.

A lot of people like me were not aware that a fashion boutique exists right here in Sharbot Lake and it’s called the Junction Factory Outlet. Now you won’t find any ‘Armani or Christian Dior’ designs on the hangers but you will find Canadian made tops that are manufactured right here in Canada. Annemarie Schonauer, the friendly saleslady, will be happy to show you the selection of ‘Judy Logan’ designs, and yes, they are Canadian made. I purchased three different styles of her line and was amazed at their affordability. The total cost was $36, ladies!

It would be hard to beat those prices anywhere and I understand there is a sale on.

One other thing, there’s lots of choice in sizes. So if you haven’t been there yet, the store is located on the same side of Hwy. 7 as the LCBO. Take a look for yourself. There is lots of choice, including children’s and men’s wear.

Letter to the editor Potholes are killers Letter to Mayor Clayton, North Frontenac Township

I

would just like to ask what is going to happen to the River Road, how many more patch jobs is it going to take to make it a good, useful road, as it isn't right now. Yes I know that some work is being done now, but I am talking about paving the road from the 509 right out to the Ardoch Road. Today it has cost me over $500 to fix my truck, due to the pot holes and bumps and everything else on that road. I am sure that I am not the only one getting a new axle or ball joints or bearings put on their car due to this road, and yes I need this road to go to work. I think the township's money could have went to better use. Instead of a star pad, it should have gone on road repairs. Just my two cents worth, the patch jobs don't work; something else does though.

Sanford P. Badour, 47, and Allan B. Badour, 60, were jointly charged on January 10, 2014 with illegal possession of firearms and the possession of firearms without a license.

Both men pleaded guilty to the charges. The men were apprehended on the K&P trail just north of Sharbot Lake by the OPP and were charged after cooperating with the police.

In their defense in court, the men said they were hunting venison and partridge to feed their families. Both were fined $250 and both are prohibited from owning firearms and ammunition for two years. Each was given three months to pay the fine.

• Allergy sufferers know that the amount of pollen in the air is higher in the mornings between 5AM and 10AM. If you are sensitive to certain pollens, delay your walking until later in the day. If you need advice on some medicinal help with your allergies, talk to our pharmacists.

• Heat stroke is a very serious medical emergency that occurs when the body cannot regulate its internal temperature. Body temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism doesn’t work so the body can’t cool down. Body temperatures can rise above 104°F (40°C). Other warning signs are rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion. Keep the person cool and seek medical help.

• We’re in the middle of the barbecue season and red meat is a very strong attraction to many people. There is a worry that cooking meat on a high flame produces chemicals thought to promote cancer. Marinating the meat in a non-oil vinegar or lemon juice mixture reduces these chemicals.

Also keep the servings down to about 4 ounces in size per serving.

• Mouthwashes contain about 99% water but also contain ingredients that may have antibacterial activity, help prevent and reduce gum disease and reduce cavities. Others contain an antibacterial enzyme to help dry mouth. Our pharmacists will be glad to help you choose the right product for your needs.

• Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable... our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription.

july 24, 2014 look for the sign outside his house. For information or to donate to the fair please call him at 613-279-2343 or 613-3902343. David is always a great supporter of the fair, many thanks to him for all his efforts. · July is Family Reunion month. Probably too late to act on now, but probably a good time to start planning for in 2015. · I’m afraid I was not able to get to all of your emails this week. If I have left something out, it will be in next week’s edition if it is not too late for your event.

Betty Ann Foran, a visitor to the Godfrey area, sent this story about the rescue of her dog. "Our little dog Doug went missing (13-Jun-14) when my daughter Jill went to visit friends in Godfrey. Doug jumped out of the car and just bolted. We were completely devastated when he didn't come back. I posted pictures with our phone numbers everywhere. Then two weeks later, 10 pounds lighter, and injured badly by something he ran into in the forest, a wonderful couple, Jim & Sharon Cashman, saw his picture in a restaurant, lured Doug onto their deck and called me. While waiting for me to arrive, they walked him and bathed him too. (He got skunked). He spent the night in the emergency vet hospital.

When we were reunited with Doug, he was minus his collar and identification! I think the most important thing we learned from this experience is to have him micro-chipped. The shelters have purebreds as well as mixed breeds and some are already chipped. I'm just so happy I met Jim & Sharon that day. Thanks to them we're one happy family again. I would like to thank everyone who assisted in Doug's recovery.”

· The flower barrels on Main St are looking fantastic. Kudos to everyone who has faithfully tended the barrels to such glorious heights. Main St. has never looked better. Judging for the barrels will take place this month and the awards will be presented at the Verona Cattail Festival (Sat. August 9, 8:45 pm) · Two more weeks and the Cattail Festival will be here. The musical entertainment will be spectacular; 14 bands will provide non-stop music over the two days and will cover a wide range of tastes: rock and roll, classic rock, country, Celtic, southern gospel and blues. The headliner for Saturday night is The Rockabilly All-Stars, a flaming hot trio - authentic rockabilly guitar, drums and stand up slap bass. They have packed theatres for years as "Buddy Holly Lives". Audiences love their energy and entertainment quality. They never leave without a standing ovation. You'll hear everything from Johnny Cash, Bill Haley, the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Richie Valens, and so much more. The Sunday headliner is the Tomcats.

They hit you with everything you want from the moment they take the stage. They play everything from Blue Rodeo, Billy Idol, CCR like no one else, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, ZZ Top's, the Beatles and more. They will rock and knock you off your seat! Stunning, powerful, energetic and above all FUN!! For a complete listing of the 14 bands playing during the two days visit www.veronafestival.com

· Another popular festival highlight is the Red Green Cardboard & Duct Tape Boat Races. Each year on Festival Saturday (August 9 ), teams of families, friends and businesses compete to build a boat out of cardboard and duct tape (supplied courtesy of 3M Corporation.) The object is to build a craft that will carry two people around a short watercourse.

"Paddles" are provided. Bring your $10 entry fee, a life jacket if you can, and your sense of humour! Races are run in heats, and winners take home a prize. You haven't paddled till you've paddled cardboard! · Free Bike Draw! On Sat. Aug. 9 at the Cattail Festival at 4 pm, there will be a draw for two lucky children (boy and a girl) who are on the grounds. Kids each get one raffle draw entry at any time on Saturday, and if they are on the grounds when their name is picked, they get a bike! · Another festival highlight is the Classic Car Show on Sun.

company has received funding from the FCFDC. Michael Tkautz of Green City Initiatives is hoping to develop an urban farm either in rural or downtown Kingston.

He is currently looking for partnerships and funding opportunities to build “an organic farm for inner city dwellers with zero emissions and transportation and with year round crop production that uses 70% less water, no chemicals and zero fossil fuels.”

Laura Carter, manager of branch operations for the Kingston Frontenac Public Library, was looking specifically at Trillium grants but also at other grant opportunities that could be accessed in partnership with other businesses. The KFPL has in the past received OTF grants, one of which helped to renovate the library in Hartington. Carter said she is also looking at other collaborative projects to help expand technology in the region.

Ian Brumell, treasurer of the Cloyne and District Historical Society, said the society is ”always looking for grant and employment opportunities” and that the organization has in the past successfully received OTF grants for their Pioneer Museum renovations. Laura Bradley, Jim Pine and Lisa Severson, all staff of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, the company that brought high speed internet to Eastern Ontario, were looking for “economic development opportunities to assist with digital strategies for their ten-year program” as it relates to economic development and specifically to “a study of cell gap analysis for eastern Ontario”. They hope to create a project similar to their broadband improvements.

Farmers were also well represented at the meeting. Dianne Dowling was in attendance wearing numerous hats. As president of the National Farmers Union, Local 316 she was looking for EODP funding for possible new projects “helpful to the local food and farm system”' as well as exploring funding opportunities for “larger collaborative food hub/food cluster projects.” She was also on the lookout for funding to update the Local 316's local food directory, Food Down The Road.

As a member of the board of the Kingston and Area Seed Initiative (KASSI), she was looking for funding for possible individual or co-op projects designed to “increase the amount of locally The adapted and used seed in order to grow a more resilient, sustainable and self-reliant food system in the area.”

Lastly, as a member of the recently formed Food 8109 Hwy 38, Godfrey ON Policy Council of Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington, Dowling was exploring funding opportunities for upcoming Fuel concrete food policyDual projects.

Frontenac CFDC grants workshop A wide variety of local business owners on the lookout for grant money to grow their businesses attended the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation's grants workshop at the Verona Lions hall on July 16. Numerous presentations were made, including two by the FCFDC's executive director, Anne Prichard, who spoke about the new Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP)and their collaborative projects grants.

Presentations were also made by several other organizations who give out grants. Stephanie Attwood of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) outlined the various Trillium grants available to groups and organizations, and Chris Gleeson, a senior business advisor with the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment, spoke about their special programs. Amy McFadden from FEDDEV (Federal Economic Development Agency) Ontario spoke about the Southern Ontario Prosperity Initiatives that her organization runs.

Karen McGregor of the St. Lawrence Employment Centre in Sharbot Lake outlined the employee subsidies and grants her organization offers.

The workshop attracted over 60 business owners from a diverse group. Among them was Tom Richardson, general manager of Lanark/Mazinaw Forest Inc., who has worked in the past with the FCFDC on various training projects. He said he is looking again to the FCFDC for training and capacity building grants for forest workers specifically from the Algonquin First Nations community in the area.

Rena Upitis, executive director of Wintergreen Studios, the Anne Prichard eco lodge and education centre located on Canoe Lake Road, was in attendance to find out more about the changes to funding opportunities and possible new funding opportunities. As a not-for-profit business Wintergreen has received funding from the FCFDC in the past and most recently from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which enabled them over the last year to prepare and bring workshops on sustainability, renewable energy and sustainable building off site to over 400 individuals. With that funding now running out, Upitis said she is looking at other funding opportunities to expand their workshops and specifically to bring similar workshops to local youth and seniors in the area. Upitis was also looking for funding to develop a local festival for Geo-caching.

Sven Schlegel and Willa Murray of Mari Cla Ro, from Toronto, design and make bags and accessories from recycled materials. They moved their studio/workshop to Snow Road in January 2013 and are looking for funding so that they can further develop their product lines as well as bring their products to Europe and the US. Schlegel said that in the past the

ary Hawley has been playing the organ at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Sharbot Lake for 65 years and he isn’t stopping now. In fact he is quoted as saying, “As long as I can continue to play and they would have me play, I will.”

Hawley's lifetime of musical service began in 1949 and that milestone was celebrated at a special service and presentation ceremony at the church on July 20. The sanctuary was full of worshipers as the special service and tribute was led by Rev. George Kwari, who spoke of how Gary’s music helps church goers to “enter into the presence of God Almighty and therefore be more receptive to the word of God. This importance aspect of our worship we trust to the church organist.”

Rev. Kwari went on to list all of the important responsibilities of the church organist and how Gary has fulfilled each with his special talent, dedication and a humble heart.

He related Gary’s service to the Biblical Parable of the Talents.

Not resting even as he was being celebrated, Gary played throughout the service and was joined on flute by Brenda Luscott.

Other special guests in attendance included the Venerable Allan McGregor, Rev. Eric Ruwona of Zimbabwe and Canon David Smith of Perth, who recited the service blessing.

Pastor Mark Hudson of the Pentecostal Church gave prayerful thanks at the special lunch reception that followed the service.

Congregant Ken Fisher, who helped organize the special event, made a series of special presentations to Gary for the “over 3500 services he has played at the church over 65 years”. These included a letter from Can-

ada's Governor General David Johnston that was read aloud to the guests. Numerous gifts were also presented to Gary that included a memory box, an engraved commemorative plate and a collection of personal stories written for and about Gary by members of the church and the greater community.

Gary was visibly moved by the accolades and spoke emotionally following the presentations, paying tribute to the all of the church communities he has been associated with over the years with the words, “How more could one person be blessed?” He also paid tribute to all of the singers at the church. His smiling and ever humble face while cutting his special cake said it all.

Sharbot Lake Swim of Hope Aug. 9 O

by Mike Procter

n August 9 the Procter sisters, Theresa, Becki and Katie will once again swim across Sharbot Lake for the sixth time to raise money for cancer research and to support those living with cancer. Over the past six years the girls have raised over $6,000 and they need your help to make this year’s swim another success. The girls will jump into the water at the Sharbot Lake Provincial Park at 10 am and swim 3 kilometres to reach land at the Oso beach about 11:30 am.

Having grown up in Sharbot Lake, the three sisters are like fish in the water and seem to do the swim with minimal effort, although in past years, high waves have given them a bit of a tough go and water bugs are sometimes unwelcome companions. Becki works in the HR department of an insurance company in Mississauga, Katie is a registered nurse in Toronto and Theresa is an epidemiologist in Woodstock. This may be the last summer all three are together as Katie is moving to Manitoba in September. Donations can be made online at http://convio.cancer/goto/ hopeswim2014 or at Northern Frontenac Community Services. Mark August 9 on your calendar and plan to be at the Sharbot Lake beach at 11:30 am to cheer on the girls.

Photography Exhibition at Grace Centre S

outhern Frontenac Community Services (SFCS) and the Grace Arts Committee are pleased to announce a photography exhibit featuring work from local photographers, Louise Day and Ryan R.F. Wilkinson at the Grace Centre from August 1 - September 22. A free reception and artist talks will take place on Saturday August 16 from 1-2:30pm.

Louise Day grew up in Ridgetown, Ont. Her mother, an artist, worked in graphite portraits, landscape paintings in oil, acrylic and water colour. Louise graduated as an R.N., married Dr. Gordon Day and moved to Verona in 1963. She worked in family practice with her husband for 37 years. Day became interested in photography and took lessons from Kim Ondaatje of Blueroof Farm, who taught her “how to see”. Many of Day's images were taken in the gardens and woods at Blueroof. Day entered won first prize in the category of “In Praise of Plants” in Equinox magazine’s photo contest. She has had a number of solo exhibitions.

Ryan R. F. Wilkinson is virtually new to the photography world, coming from a background of oil painting and pencil drawing influenced by his grandfather, Alfred Karu out of Estonia. A graduate of Sheridan College arts program, Ryan has blended his abstract eye for the world with peaceful and simple photography using various sources of natural light, and timeless moments.

Justice Peter Wright bids farewell to Sharbot Lake J udge Peter Wright delivered his final judgments at the Sharbot Lake Criminal Court on July 21, wrapping up a 15-year stint there.

Wright began his service in Sharbot Lake in 1999 and has been happy serving the small rural community. “It seems like yesterday that I started coming up here,” Wright said on his final day. He recalled when he first heard about the quaint community hall/courtroom in Sharbot Lake with its “curtained stage, and the wheel-out dais”, but he said, “It was a delight to be here”.

The Sharbot Lake Criminal Court was the last satellite court of Kingston to be set up. Established in 1999, the court was set up to address a backlog in the Kingston courts. Ottawa was called in to address the Kingston backlog and Wright, who at that time was serving in Ottawa, was asked by the regional senior justice there to take on the position in Sharbot Lake. Wright recalled agreeing initially to take the position for one year. “I didn’t know what it would be like out here and here I am 15 years later.”

Wright is moving to Perth next month and will stand as the resident judge there, replacing Judge Steve March who is retiring this month. The move also entails Wright giving up his Ottawa office. The switch will make it difficult for him to continuing serving in Sharbot Lake and though he said he loves the Sharbot Lake community, he believes it will be difficult to continue working here while also serving in Perth.

The most challenging part of serving in Sharbot Lake, Wright recalled, was not knowing anyone here at first. The other difficulty was the huge backlog of cases. “We had cases that had been adjourned for a year with no set dates and it was hard to put the brakes on those adjournments. It went against the practice that was happening here, which was due to the fact that there was a different judge here every month. Understandably, it’s hard to be the tough guy when you are only here for one day.”

Asked if he has regrets, Wright said his time serving in Sharbot Lake has been enjoyable, rewarding and a nice break from Ottawa. Asked about the challenges of moving to Perth, Wright said that locally things always tend to be done a bit differently, “But that is what makes things fun and a learning experience.”

When asked what makes a good judge, Wright said it’s the ability to listen. “We have two ears and one mouth so it’s probably important to listen twice as much as you speak. I do not know how you can judge if you do not listen to what people are saying.” Asked if he has always known that, Wright said that when he first became a judge, it was tempting to still be a lawyer, to ask all of the questions and to jump in and argue with people. “That is not the role of a judge.

As a judge you have to listen, give people their say and let people tell you their story. If you do not do that then you miss the opportunity to try to incorporate people’s experiences,

O

n July 13 a puppet show extravaganza hit the stage at the Sharbot Lake branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL). The two puppeteers, Brenda MacDonald and Sarah Balint, have been on the road touring various library branches for the past few weeks. They performed two classic children's stories. The first was “Strega Nona”, written and illustrated by Tommie dePaola and the second

was “Three Little Pigs”. Both books are available to borrow through the branch near you.

At the Sharbot Lake performance the house was packed with children from all around the area, starting from the age of 5 months. The stage was elaborate and circus-themed.

One boy, when asked what his favourite part about the stage was, said, “I like it because it's red.”

“Strega Nona” translates to Grandmother Witch, and the story centres around a magical old woman who seeks out the help of Anthony, a boy who is thought to be inattentive, as she is getting rather old. However, Anthony creates trouble when Strega Nona leaves her house under his care for a few days. He does not heed a warning to leave the pasta pot on the stove alone, causing it to overflow and fill first the house, then the entire village with pasta, with terrifying and funny results. The show was full of comedic moments and stirring suspense.

During intermission one of the puppeteers, Brenda Mac-

what they have done and seen, and what the lawyers have to say.” Wright studied law at the University of Ottawa and was called to the bar in 1979. He practiced in Ottawa until he was appointed to the bench in 1993. On his final day in court in Sharbot Lake, both Duty Counsel Doug Caldwell and Provincial Crown Counsel Liz Foxton paid special verbal tributes to him.

Donald, led a song with the children. As some of the kids knew the song, they stood up and sang it out with Brenda, much to her delight. This was followed by a reading of John Burningham's “Mr. Gumpy's Outing” [Editor's note – the best picture book ever written, with the possible exception of Mr. Gumpy’s Motor Car].

The puppet show then continued with a fantastical performance of “Three Little Pigs” which literally had the audience rolling on the floor in hysterics. Brenda and Sarah really understood their audience and clearly love what they do. They were welcoming and entertaining from the get-go.

They made sure to credit the audience for their energy; as Sarah said, “They were our best audience all week.”

Sarah and Brenda will be performing again on August 15 at the Sydenham branch at 10am. They will be performing two fox-related puppet shows, one based on the hit song “What does the fox say?” and the other based on the children's story “The Fox and the Grapes”.

If all goes well, NF Township office to re-open in the fall

by Jeff Green orth Frontenac Council approved a plan to bring the township office back to where it was on a cold day in January when an oil tank leaked, contaminating parts of the building and relegating township staff to portables and parts of the adjacent fire hall.

Council was faced with three options at their meeting this week: 1) hire ServiceMaster, the company that has been working with their insurance company to assess the damage; 2) accept a settlement of $91,000 for construction to hire their own contractor to do the work; or 3) accept the settlement and embark on a number of upgrades to the building that were identified as necessary by an unrelated report into the future viability of the office. “The report estimated the cost of all nec-

essary work at $400,000, but only $100,000 to bring the building into compliance with the building code by putting fire separations, etc. in place,� said Public Works Manager Jim Phillips. “Since we are considering going another route by building a new office, I think we should do the quickest thing and get Service Master to bring the building back to where it was before the spill,� suggested Deputy Mayor Fred Perry. "The new Council will decide what to do from there, but I think our office staff will appreciate returning to their old office space.� “We have been able to function, although it has been pretty hot this summer,� said CAO Cheryl Robson, “but even with its limitations we would be happy to be back in our old offices.�

Council approved the plan to let the insurance company hire Service Master to do the work. Robson said that it will take another week or two to finalise the estimates, and six weeks or so to do the work. “But I can’t really say when it will be done; it’s still too early,� she said.

New furniture will be needed and there are many other costs to the small-scale disaster that came as the result of the oil leak, but all the costs will be covered by insurance, Robson said.

other lakes where the association objects.

Compactor needs repair – Council approved an expenditure of $34,200 to replace the radiator and engine of the trash compactor that was purchased in 2009 for $130,000.

Maintenance costs since purchasing the compactor have been minimal, until now.

Province has debt - downloads to follow With a number of members of the public in attendance, Mayor Clayton took the opportunity to point out that the provincial government’s promise to eliminate its deficit without raising taxes is already resulting in a shift of costs to municipalities, “which means higher taxes or cuts in service.�

He said increased policing costs are part of this trend, as is a recent announcement that the province will no longer pay townships grants in lieu of taxes for hydro dams on Crown land with township jurisdiction. “This will only cost us $8,000 but the policing will be another story,� he said “and there will be more coming.�

In terms of policing, Clayton said he has had informal talks about Frontenac County townships seeking a policing contract with the City of Kingston police force in the face of rising OPP costs. “I have talked to the Mayor of South Frontenac about this, but not the Mayor of Central Frontenac.�

Osprey nests – not for everyone The Conservationists of Frontenac Addington have put $1,200 aside for the installation of four poles to be fitted with platforms to attract Osprey nesting within the township. “There is a gentleman who is willing to put the poles up. What we need to do is decide where we want to put them. I thought I would bring this forward, but so far I have had no response. There will be no cost to the township; it is free, gratis, if we want it,�

Fred Perry said. “It is for us to find a location. It has to be on township land, not Crown land, because that would require an agreement,� said Mayor Clatyon. “Or we could seek permission from a landowner,� said Councilor John Inglis. “I would take one on my land. There are swamps nearby; it might be suitable.� “I brought the idea up at our Malcolm Lake Association AGM,� said Councilor Gerry Martin. “We don’t want one. Ospreys eat too many fish.� “We should be able to find spots for them, preferably in places that people can get to; they would be good for tourism,� said Clayton.

The township will look into finding locations, although not near Malcolm Lake or
